How zombie LulzSec exposed privates' love lives with PHP hack
Single soldiers site swallowed surprise load
Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery
A dating website for US soldiers was hacked and its database leaked after it blindly trusted user-submitted files, according to an analysis by security firm Imperva. The report highlights the danger of handling documents uploaded to web apps.
"LulzSec Reborn" hacktivists attacked MilitarySingles.com and disclosed sensitive information on more than 170,000 lonely-heart privates in March this year. Hackers uploaded a PHP file that posed as a harmless text document and then commandeered the web server to cough up the contents of its user and a hashed password database.
Rob Rachwald, director of security strategy at Imperva, said the attack would have been blocked if MilitarySingles.com had filtered user-supplied content.
He added that a similar Remote File Inclusion-style vulnerabilities will exist in other sites that use PHP and actively solicit photos, video and so on.
Imperva reckons more than 90 per cent of the MilitarySingles.com passwords were cracked in nine hours thanks to extended dictionary-based rainbow lookup tables. MilitarySingles.com stored passwords as non-reversible hashes, rather than in plain text, however it did not salt the hashes, which would have made the process of recovering the passwords far more difficult. Insisting on hard-to-guess passwords isn't good enough unless developers pay attention to encryption best practices, said Rachwald.
The attack against MilitarySingles.com is the only notable assault by LulzSec Reborn. Imperva's analysis suggests the group has no more than six members, who set out to "embarrass the military". The crew is apparently "not as motivated" as the original LulzSec, according to Rachwald, adding that it has made little or no contribution to IRC chats and hacker forums.
MilitarySingles.com, which bills itself as the "dating website for single soldiers... and those interested in meeting them", is run by eSingles Inc.
Government and military personnel ought to have special policies regarding social networking to prevent their information from being easily accessed and manipulated. Rachwald told El Reg that an outright ban is likely to be flouted. Instead soldiers should be encouraged to use pseudonyms and particularly warned against disclosing their location, he said.
An analysis of the website breach was published in the May edition of Imperva's monthly Hacker Intelligence, which can be downloaded here. ®
Re: Und jetzt wie man es richtig macht
If only there were some sort of system which did this? NDS, AD, LDAP, etc.
It seems to be a trait in developers to develop solutions to problems which have already been solved, in a much better more functional way by specialists in the subject. I speak as someone who specifies code to be created by developers for a reporting product. It is incredible the amount of times that we get problems in the report and the developers' solution is to just hack some script together, rather than ask the subject matter expert for a proper programatic solution.
@The crew is apparently "not as motivated" as the original LulzSec, according to Rachwald, adding that it has made little or no contribution to IRC chats and hacker forums.
So in otherwords they are making an attempt not to get caught, unlike the other fools? Stay low, do your business, get out safely.
Und jetzt wie man es richtig macht
..some real advice on how to properly secure a password-based system:
A) Store all usernames and passwords on an entirely different machine and an entirely different database. The "credentials" server will only handle authentication requests through a well-defined (proper grammar), simple TCP interface. All other services including X11, ping and so on will be disabled on this server. The server will be completely firewalled except for that specific port.
Application code will query this server for authentication purposes via a TCP socket and will then proceed to do the usual SQL against the "app" database.
B) Store a "retry counter" along with the password hash and lock the account for half an hour after five bad attempts. Lock for a day after 15 wrong attempts.
Then even passwords such as "apple15" will be quite secure.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen have been named the most stylish sisters by Vogue and they will be on the cover of the special Best Dressed issue! Strangely enough, Mary-Kate and Ashley have never been on the cover of Vogue, so it's about time!
The twins beat out other celebrity sisters like: Dakota and Elle Fanning, Kate and Pippa Middleton, Beyonce and Solange Knowles, and Rooney and Kate Mara. We think they deserved to win! While they've always been famous, they gained notice for their boho-chic style back in 2004, "We were called eccentric and eclectic…but we were just two California girls trying to dress for the New York winter." Congrats to Mary-Kate and Ashley!
Ashley Olsen seen out in New York City carrying her 40 CM Hermes Birkin in Gold with Gold Hardware.
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen pose with French footwear designer Christian Louboutin at Parisian shop Montaigne Market where they launched their new handbags for "The Row" line in Paris, France on September 29, 2011.
The Row has been doing quite well and demand for their alligator backpack has been huge. Sure it has a $39,000 price tag, but that doesn't seem to stop people. Ashley told reporters, "It was the first thing that sold off the shelf." MK and Ashley spent a lot of the night hanging with Christian Louboutin, who considers the girls his godchildren
Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen attend the Metropolitan Opera's gala premiere of Rossini's Le Comte Oryv sponsored by Yves Saint Laurent on Thursday (March 24) in New York City.
The two were dressed head to toe by Yves Saint Laurent for the occasion and are both carrying the Yves Saint Laurent Minaudiere satin clutch.
It's official. Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are real fashion designers. Not only are they nominated for a CFDA award this year, they're also featured in the April issue of Vogue. If Anna Wintour likes you, you're definitely in! Of course, that also means you have to do everything she says—including stripping off your eyeliner and going au naturel for a photoshoot.
The Olsen's spread looks like return to the good old days, when they were still making VHS movies and designing for Walmart. It's delightfully cheesy, lighthearted and quite refreshing, full of sisterly bonding and smiles. Not that we don't love the current incarnation of our favorite style twins, but giggles have been in short supply these past few years. Oh, the power of Anna Wintour.
Check out the full spread at Vogue.com.
Mary-Kate Olsen leaves her apartment in the East Village NYC wearing a stunning red coat from Lanvin and carrying the Balenciaga pony hair Weekender in Rouille as she grabbed coffee earlier this week.

The apartment is located on very close to Taksim square,it will take almost 4 or 5 minutes depending on your walking speed,from apartment to Taksim square,just you will go up to the slope and you will be in front of the Taksim square exactly.
The apartment is furnished&full and you will feel yourself comfy,it is hygienical and clean.The neighbourhood is also excellent.There is a doorman that pick up your garbage and even you can order some food from the market that is located across the building.The smoking is not allowed in the apartment but you can smoke by using one of 2 balconies.
The neighbourhood inside of the building is really perfect and everybody is highly respectful to one another.
I can also bring you to the islands in Istanbul and I can provide you 1 day staying with free of charge,as long as you would like to visit islands.Moreover,I can accompany you while you are going around the city and I can bring you to some museums,historical places,bosphorus tour etc.I would be glad to do this and it will not be a burden on me.
I would like to write some places which are located around the apartment so that you can have a better idea how far is the apartment away from such places.
Ataturk Cultural Centre : 6 mins,on foot
Beyoglu Shopping Centers : 5 mins,on foot
Germany Consulate : 5 mins,on foot
French Consulate : 5 mins,on foot
Greece Consulate : 10 mins,on foot
Netherlands Consulate : 10 mins,on foot
Japanese Consulate : 7 mins,on foot

Galata Tower : 20 mins,on foot
Pera Museum : 15 mins,on foot
Dolmabahce Palace : 20 mins,on foot
Fast Food :
Burger King : 6 minutes
Mc Donalds : 8 minutes
These distances are estimated as average,on foot and you know,the Taksim Square is located on the slope ( exactly,from the seashore to the square ) and these distances may change slightly depending on your walking speed rate.I mean;from the top to down,you can easily reach but the opposite condition may take a little time more.
In short,these distances are as average,on foot.
Except for these,you can reach to any part of Istanbul from the apartment easily as the transportation possiblities are large.
Furthermore;once you leave the apartment,you can keep walking down the hill and you will reach to seashore,around 10 minutes,so there is also a tram line and it will bring you many spectacular places such as Hagia Sophia,Blue Mosque,Grand Bazaar,Spice Bazaar,Basilica Cistern and so on.Because these places are located on very close to tram line and the tram passes through these places.

Kamakhya temple is a famous pilgrimage situated at Guwahati, Assam. The temple is located on the Nilachal hill in Guwahati at about 8 kms from the railway station. The Kamakhya temple is dedicated to the tantric goddesses. Apart from the deity Kamakhya Devi, compound of the temple houses 10 other avatars of Kali namely Dhumavati, Matangi, Bagola, Tara, Kamala, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Bhuvaneshwari and Tripuara Sundari.
Mythical History
The temple of Kamakhya has a very interesting story of its origin. It is one of the 108 Shakti peeths. The story of the Shakti peeths goes like this; once Sati fought with her husband Shiva to attend her father's great yagna. At the grand yagna, Sati's father Daksha insulted her husband. Sati was angered and in her shame, she jumped into the fire and killed herself. When Shiva came to know that his beloved wife had committed suicide, he went insane with rage. He placed Sati's dead body on his shoulders and did the tandav or dance of destruction.
To calm him down, Vishnu cut the dead body with his chakra. The 108 places where Sati's body parts fell are called Shakti peeths. Kamakhya temple is special because Sati's womb and vagina fell here.
The Name 'Kamakhya'
The God of love, Kamadeva had lost his virility due to a curse. He sought out the Shakti's womb and genitals and was freed from the curse. This is where 'love' gained his potency and thus, the deity 'Kamakhya' devi was installed and worshipped here.
Some people also believe that the Kamakhya temple is a place where Shiva and devi Sati had their romantic encounters. As the Sanskrit word for lovemaking is 'kama', the place was named Kamakhya.
The Bleeding Goddess
Kamakhya devi is famous as the bleeding goddess. The mythical womb and vagina of Shakti are supposedly installed in the 'Garvagriha' or sanctum of the temple. In the month of Ashaad (June), the goddess bleeds or menstruates. At this time, the Brahmaputra river near Kamakhya turns red. The temple then remains closed for 3 days and holy water is distributed among the devotees of Kamakhya devi.
There is no scientific proof that the blood actually turns the river red. Some people say that the priests pour vermilion into the waters. But symbolically, menstruation is the symbol of a woman's creativity and power to give birth. So, the deity and temple of Kamakhya celebrates this 'shakti' or power within every woman.

The Dow Jones's Top 3 Stocks: Who Made the Cut?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was one of the modern world's first market indicators. Today, the price-weighted index is comprised of 30 large publicly owned companies based in the United States. Year-to-date the blue chip index has returned 11.02% to shareholders, while the S&P500 has returned 16.03%, and the NASDAQ has returned 21.98%. But even within this poorly performing index there are several stocks that shine. This article will examine the top three performers of the Dow since the start of 2012.
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC)
Bank of America has been the best performing stock on the Dow, and has returned 67.09% year-to-date. Returns haven't been as pleasant for the multinational banking and financial services firm over the past few years, though. After acquiring Countrywide in 2008, Bank of America was tied to the company's $2 trillion in mortgages.
Consequently, this massive amount of mortgages was one of the main drivers that caused the company's stock to plummet after the housing market crash. Bank of America is still down 81.6% over the past half-decade, with most of these declines coming between 2007 and 2009.
But don't worry, all this means is that there's nowhere for the stock to go but up! Warren Buffett appears to thinks it will, considering that since the beginning of 2012 Buffett has increased his position in Bank of America by nearly 30 million shares. From a valuation standpoint, Bank of America is trading at 10.19 times earnings, and 0.46 times their book value. The bank has grown revenues at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%, has an ROA of 0.51%, and an ROE of 4.95%.
Home Depot (NYSE: HD)
Home Depot, the world's largest home-improvement retailer, is the second best performer listed on the Dow, returning 41.46% to shareholders year-to-date. In its most recent quarter, Home Depot grew sales 1.7% and improved earnings by 12%, which led to higher operating margins and earnings. Looking at the valuation, the company's stock is trading at 21.38 times earnings, and has an EV/EBITDA of 10.88. Home Depot's revenues have grown at a five-year CAGR of -5.0%, with an ROA of 10.72%, and an ROE of 23.84%.
Despite a disappointing economic recovery, Home Depot has still impressed investors with improved sales and efficiency. While the company makes a good core investment in most portfolios and offers exposure to an upside in housing, it is trading near its 52-week high of $60, and is a little expensive for our taste.
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS)
Behind only Home Depot and Bank of America, The Walt Disney Company has seen its stock price grow 40.53% year-to-date. Disney is more than just children's movies and theme parks; it also operates ESPN and ABC, two of the U.S.' most popular media networks.
In 2011, ESPN and ABC accounted for 46% of Disney's revenues, while their parks contributed 29%, and their studio entertainment branch brought up the rear with 16%. ESPN is the clear leader in sports TV, and recently locked in a deal with Monday Night Football that gave them rights to broadcast the weekly event for $1.8 billion a year.
Looking at the stock's valuation, Disney trades at 17.42 times its earnings, and has an EV/EBITDA of 9.76. The company's revenues have grown at a five-year CAGR of 3.6%, they have an ROA of 7.53%, and an ROE of 14.54%. Disney has excelled in all of its segments and continues to create value for shareholders. This high-quality company continues to gain momentum and is a good pick for long-term investors.
What's on Hedge Funds' Minds?
The value of Bank of America shares held by hedge funds decreased $565 million during the second quarter of 2012. These declines coincided with nine hedge funds liquidating their shares in BAC, including Brian Stark, Michael Messner, and Robert Bishop.
During the first quarter of 2011, 38 funds were invested in Home Depot for a total of $1.6 billion. By the second quarter of 2012, 35 hedge funds still had interest – an amount valued at $1.4 billion. Some of the most prominent managers still involved in the stock are Ken Griffin, Cliff Asness, and Steven Cohen.
Looking at Disney, the number of hedge funds remained the same at 40 from the first to the second quarter of 2012, but the value of shares held by the funds increased $600 million. For a longer look at how the hedge fund industry is valuing Disney and the rest of the Dow's top trio, continue reading here.

- Wednesday, April 1, 2009
The power of cloud computing can offer web companies access to a massive amount of Internet infrastructure and services on demand. But can it also make computing and the Internet more energy efficient? Some analysts are starting to think so, due to the cloud's fundamental use of shared infrastructure, multiple-user environments and economies of scale.

After a Treasury Department report last week confirmed the targeting by the IRS, the tax agency became the focus of a criminal probe by the Justice Department.
LONDON/ WASHINGTON, May 17- A European probe into possible oil price manipulation expanded with the investigation of a small niche trading house in the Netherlands and a key U.S. senator on Friday called for the Justice Department to join the investigation.
WASHINGTON, May 16- The chairman of the U.S. Senate's energy committee asked the Justice Department on Friday to investigate whether alleged price manipulation by three oil companies in Europe has boosted fuel prices for U.S. consumers.
WASHINGTON-- Congressional Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday challenged Attorney General Eric Holder over the Justice Department's handling of the investigation of national security leaks and its failure to talk to The Associated Press before issuing subpoenas for the news service's telephone records.
WASHINGTON-- Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday defended the Justice Department's secret examination of Associated Press phone records though he declared he had played no role in it, saying it was justified as part of an investigation into a grave national security leak.
Kookogey is one of many conservatives who complain about unfair treatment at the hands of the IRS, the U.S. tax service that admitted last Friday it had inappropriately singled out the Tea Party movement and other conservative groups for extra examination.
* "Insufficient oversight" led to problems at IRS- report. *Embattled acting IRS chief meets lawmakers.
WASHINGTON, May 14- Federal officials charged 89 people including doctors, nurses and other medical professionals in eight U.S. cities on Tuesday with Medicare fraud schemes that the government said totaled $223 million in false billings.
*Embattled acting IRS chief Miller goes to Capitol Hill. The scandal has added to a sense of a White House under siege as President Barack Obama, who has promised to hold any IRS wrongdoers accountable, grapples with an array of domestic and foreign policy controversies that threaten his second-term agenda.
Attorney General Eric Holder was likely to face a storm of questions on Tuesday over the Justice Department's controversial decision to seize telephone records of the Associated Press, a move denounced by critics as a gross intrusion into freedom of the press.
Attorney General Eric Holder said on Tuesday the Department of Justice had charged 89 defendants in eight cities with healthcare fraud, and warned that budget cuts could limit future efforts to crack down on fraudulent claims.
WASHINGTON, May 14- The U.S. Department of Justice is working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to probe the Internal Revenue Service over its targeting of certain groups, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Tuesday.

Kings - Season One will be available later this year.
Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5 is available for preorder from Amazon.com.
The NCIS spin-off backdoor pilot episodes are set to air April 28 and May 5. The next two episodes (May 12 and May 19) continue some elements for Gibbs, Tony and Ziva.
But true diehard fans aren't going to miss any of those episodes, come hell or American Idol. (Actually, American Idol is hell, but I digress.)
Just when I thought NBC had the stupidest television executives on the planet, FOX may be prepared to cancel Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (Source)
After a really good season 2 finale that set up a whole new ball game for the show, and a Terminator MOVIE set to debut soon, canceling this show just doesn't make any sense. At all.
A MOVIE! Sure, it may not tie in really well, but it would bring more attention to the series.
It seems that NBC has canceled Kings. I'm not surprised about this - I don't think anyone is. I think I have more favorite shows on the CW than NBC right now. But Kings was a though sell to the audience though. It wasn't action; it was pretty cerebral. I thought it had potential and that it would get better before long (like Journeyman which did improve with time - just as it was also canceled.)
I don't believe they did that.
(And for those wondering, the song at the end was Pete Yorn's "Lose You")
--- --- --- --- ---
After my last problem with FedEx, it seems I'm putting my faith in them once again. But it seems that they may actually come through this time.
I ordered more memory for my Mac Mini on Friday, and the company is shipping it from Boise to Burlington, WA. It shipped out last Friday afternoon and it's currently sitting in Seattle and scheduled for delivery tomorrow afternoon.
Hopefully they can manage to get it the 60 miles up Interstate 5 without any problems.
Last night's episode where Ryan is kidnapped and forced to compromise an investigation has proved one thing:
The writers and producers of CSI:Miami are a bunch of idiots.
Wolfe withheld evidence and contaminated evidence in the lab. No matter what else was going on, that should have cost him his gun and badge. Instead he gets that proverbial 'pat on the back' by Horatio.
What a joke.
It's near the end of the season for our favorite shows, and that means cliffhangers and death. CSI:NY is apparently no exception.
Usually when a show announces a death, it's not going to be a main character. Take last season's Criminal Minds - they promised a death, and it was the head of the FBI's New York office. NCIS last year had the death of Jenny Shepard - but no one would really call her a main character. And last week Robert McCalister died on Brothers & Sisters - only to come back to life.

70. What turns you on?
Anon your grey face is all I need to turn me on.
Facial Hair, Taller than me, Average size, Touching, Facial Hair, Cuddling. I dunno what else.
71. What was your kinkiest wet dream?
I honestly don't remember, I mean, I have been having really bad dreams recently. I think it had something to do with one of my crushes from, like, tenth grade. Nothing too amazing.

The second edition of "The Guest" involves one of my favourite poets out of all of the WordPress world and goes by the name of dpbowman.
His work never disappoints me and every single piece I have read has blew me away, some of my personal favourites are "Night Sailing" "Secret Garden" and "I Think I Left…".
So everyone go and check him out on the following link you will not be disappointed!! – - – >
Below if just a few quick questions I asked Dan followed by one of his poems, all enjoy!
So tell people who may not have come across you before a little bit about yourself?
My name is Dan Bowman, I am 34 years old.
I am a Writer, a Pilgrim, an Adventurer, and a Lover of Life. I hold a degree in religion and the hands of my children. I love words and hope to connect to the world through them. My style is eclectic. I am trying lately to push myself to try different styles.
How did you get into writing poetry?
I first got into poetry in 9th grade just to make silly rhymes to make others laugh. My first work was "Elvis in my Pelvis". I soon realized that I could say anything in rhyme and the world seemed to fall into line. Also others never really knew exactly what I meant, but took their own meaning and pleasure from my writing. I never turned back.
Has your style changed over the years?
Lately my style has become more…free-range. I still find it quite easy to return to metre in a heartbeat with both feet (see?).
Have you got a fellow blogger that you would like to recommend?
Please visit Bobbie at http://tornadoday.wordpress.com/about/
What was your main inspiration behind the following poem?
I wanted to try to capture what it means to grow as a writer, an artist, a person. It is a stretching, a pushing, a birthing. It is a life-long battle that I may not win, but someday one of us will write words that shatter all expectations and Beauty will be recognized once again. Til then, I'll keep trying!
Immutable Force
As I expand to meet and grow beyond the fences
I find when I push outward against them it takes a will of senses
And it is often easier to fall
Back into the measured simple familiar temple of metre
and fail to find the rate at which I'm not repeater
but fire into the world something new to all
But I suppose old Solomon got it after all for There
is nothing new but to view your my vanity of hot air
and wonder at the slipper left at the ball
I have list to idle chatter of what this and that the matter
and smile and pray that soon the day the world will shatter
as an artist rises to this call
Would that it were me but no I think I have much room

QCEW Technical Notes
The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program (also known as ES-202) collects employment and wage data from employers covered by New York State's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Law. This program is a cooperative program with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. QCEW data encompass approximately 97 percent of New York's nonfarm employment, providing a virtual census of employees and their wages as well as the most complete universe of employment and wage data, by industry, at the State, regional and county levels.
"Covered" employment refers broadly to both private-sector employees as well as state, county, and municipal government employees insured under the New York State Unemployment Insurance (UI) Act. Federal employees are insured under separate laws, but are considered covered for the purposes of the program. Employee categories not covered by UI include some agricultural workers, railroad workers, private household workers, student workers, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers.
QCEW data are similar to monthly Current Employment Statistics (CES) data in that they reflect jobs by place of work; therefore, if a person holds two jobs, he or she is counted twice. However, since the QCEW program, by definition, only measures employment covered by unemployment insurance laws, its totals will not be the same as CES employment totals due to the employee categories excluded by UI.
About the Data
QCEW data are derived from quarterly tax reports submitted by all employers subject to UI laws. All covered employers are required to submit monthly employment figures representing the number of people either working during or receiving pay for the payroll period including the 12th of the month, and the total wages paid during the quarter. The QCEW program conducts ongoing surveys to verify the location and type of economic activity occurring at each of the more than 500,000 reporting units (establishments) in the state. An employer may operate in a number of different locations.
In New York State, QCEW report data are confidential. In order to ensure the anonymity of individual employers, employment and wage data are not released for any industry level in any location that a) consists of fewer than three reporting units; or b) contains a single unit that accounts for 80 percent or more of the industry's employment.
The first release of annual average QCEW data is typically scheduled for September of the subsequent year.
Definitions of QCEW Terms
Reporting Unit
Reporting Unit is an establishment, usually a single place of business, which is engaged in a single business activity, and operated by a single employer. Business firms operating more than one establishment, in which the sum of employment in secondary locations totals 10 or more persons, are required to submit a separate report for each unit unless the payrolls are not maintained separately. If two or more units of a single employer are in a single physical location, but maintain separate payroll records and engage in distinct or separate business activities, then each unit is treated as a separate reporting unit.Employment
Employment data include all employment covered under the New York State UI program for each of the three months in the quarter. The employment count represents the number of full-time and part-time employees along with their earnings, wages, or salaries, for the payroll period including the 12th of the month. Included are persons on paid vacations or paid sick leave. Workers temporarily earning no wages due to labor-management disputes, layoffs or other reasons are not reported as employed. Persons on the payroll of more than one establishment during the same reference week are reported more than once.Annual Average Employment
Annual Average Employment is the arithmetic mean of the employment reported for all 12 months of the year.Total Wages
Total wages cover all wages and salaries paid to individuals in insured employment.Annual Average Wage
Anual average wage is the sum of the wages for the four quarters of the year (total annual wages) divided by the annual average employment.Industrial Classification
Industrial classification data are classified in accordance with the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which recently replaced the long-standing Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system.

Meet your 2012-2013 Experiential Learning Fellows!
Sarah Bierman '14
Sarah Bierman is a junior majoring in Studio Art and minoring in Yiddish and Creative Writing. Born and raised in Manhattan, Sarah is creatively inclined and learns best when she is engaged hands-on (hence the studio art sculpture concentration). Speaking of sculpture, Sarah's best Experiential Learning (EL) experiences were both her first sculpture class, Blurring the Boundaries, where she made her first leap into the world of EL and Intermediate Sculpture, where she was encouraged to take creative risks that she feels she could not have been taught in any lecture hall.
Dan Boyle '14
Dan is a rising junior from Boston, Massachusetts. He is a Biochemistry and Neuroscience double major with a Classical Studies minor, but that's subject to change. His favorite Experiential (EL) course so far is Professor AOKO's Art and Architecture of Ancient Rome, which he took in the Spring of his first year and is the reason he is a classics minor. It was a lecture course, but when she read from Homer and Virgil it was like performance art and even her reviews of Greek architecture kept all 50 students engaged. And of course, all of his laboratory experiences have helped him refine his scientific interests.
Amanda Dryer '13
Amanda Dryer is a senior. She transferred to Brandeis for its commitment to social justice. She is currently majoring in Education Studies and History while minoring in Elementary Education and Near Eastern Judaic Studies. As a sophomore, she was enrolled in Professor Antony Polonsky's course, The Destruction of European Jewry. As an Experiential Learning (EL) component of the class, students were given the opportunity to interview a Holocaust survivor and Amanda decided to interview her grandmother's relative and childhood best friend, Ruth. During their time together, Ruth asked Amanda about a white box containing old photos, which had resided in her grandmother's closet for many years. She showed Ruth a photo of a little boy that her grandmother often spoke about because she babysat him for ten cents a day. Ruth identified the little boy in the photos as her cousin Rolf. Amanda's grandmother died believing that Rolf perished in the Holocaust. Ruth told Amanda both she and Rolf were the sole survivors of their immediate families because of the efforts of social agencies, such as the OSE- the Children's Agency and the Red Cross that rescued Jewish children from various concentration camps. Ruth went on to tell her that she had not seen Rolf in over 70 years. Through Ruth's dedication and passion for social justice, Amanda was able to locate Rolf. In March of 2011, she had the honor of reuniting Rolf and Ruth. A few months later, she tracked down Hanne Hirsch Liebmann, yet another relative and child Holocaust survivor. During Rolf and Hanne's reunion, Hanne told her, "No one who was there will ever forget these totally selfless social workers or nurses that saved our lives. Both impress you so to make a choice of which you want to follow." At the beginning of her sophomore year, Amanda made a choice to embrace EL: little did she know that it would change her life forever.
Jen Mandelbaum '14
Jen Mandelbaum is from Londonderry, NH. She is double majoring in Health: Science, Society, and Policy and Women's and Gender Studies. Her favorite Experiential Learning (EL) course so far has been the practicum for Professor Conrad's Health, Community, and Society" class. She loved working on projects with community partners like Mount Auburn Hospital and Healthy Waltham and learning more about the work that these wonderful organizations do. Her work with in the fall with Healthy Waltham led her to intern there in the spring. Her most transformative EL experience was leading healthy cooking workshops as part of her internship at Healthy Waltham. She enjoyed teaching kids about cooking and seeing the connections they were making between what they were growing in the gardens and the recipes they were making. Her favorite part of these classes was when she would chat with the kids during the cooking lessons and they would tell her that they tried the recipes they made the previous week at home. She especially liked when they told her how they changed the recipe to incorporate their favorite ingredients. This internship helped her to better understand how kids think about their food environment. The real-world experience she has gained through EL at Brandeis has been wonderful, and she is very excited to share her love for EL as an ExCEL Fellow this year!
Avishek Neupane '14
Avishek Neupane is from Kathmandu, Nepal. He is a Computer Science major with minors in Business and Economics. His favorite Experiential Learning (EL) courses so far are the Justice Brandeis Semester (JBS) in Web Applications and Social Networks with Pito Salas and Tim Hickey, The Art of Public Speaking with Andrew Flagel, and 3d Game Design with Tim Hickey.
The best of the best EL experience that he has had is in the JBS in Web Development and Social Applications. The class learned web development and created a real world product in just 10 weeks! The class was richly experiential where they applied whatever they learned in their product immediately. The course also gave him an experience of being in a computer startup- like environment. It also had a reflection and team session every now and then, which helped the teams reorganize and go for another sprint.
Overall, Avishek's first year and a half at Brandeis has been super experiential. The experiential theory cycle of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation is very powerful and he looks forward to spreading the knowledge/benefits/passion of EL @ Brandeis!
Zoe Oppenheimer '14
Zoe Oppenheimer is from Long Island, New York. She is an Education Studies major with minors in Elementary Education, Hebrew Language and Literature, and Near Eastern and Judaic Studies. Her favorite Experiential Learning (EL) course that she has taken so far is Teaching and Learning Reading in Elementary and Preschools with Deb Moriarty. She loved learning about strategies to teach children how to read through Deb's interactive lessons and then developing and strengthening her skills through her weekly practicum at Stanley Elementary School. Zoe's most transformative EL experience has been participating in the Brandeis-Middlebury School of Hebrew, an intensive summer language immersion program. She signed the language pledge at the beginning of the summer and committed to only using Hebrew for the entirety of the program. Speaking Hebrew in class, as well as with her friends during meals and other activities gave her the chance to learn Hebrew, not only from books, but also from real-life conversations and experiences. She has learned so much from her EL classes and experiences during her first two years at Brandeis and is thrilled to be an ExCEL Fellow this year!
Emily Bunker Peterson '13
Emily Bunker Peterson is senior from Denver, Colorado. She is double majoring in Anthropology and International and Global Studies with a minor in Politics. Her favorite EL opportunity at Brandeis so far has been the Environmental and Social Justice Justice Brandeis Semester (JBS) she took in Fall 2011 with Professor Goldin. She feels so lucky that her entire semester curriculum was all EL courses because it gave her the opportunity to explore so many different topics in a hands-on manner. Certainly, the highlight of the semester was the class trip to Kentucky, where the class learned about mountaintop removal first hand by talking with various people who live in a small mining community, going to local mining museums, and exploring Kentucky's beautiful natural mountains as well as mountains which have been devastated by mountaintop removal mining. This experience was the culmination of everything Emily believes EL is: learning new information by interacting with people and environments in a way which will impart knowledge and have a long-lasting impact on the learner. Both her JBS semester and the EL she participated in while studying abroad in Cochabamba, Bolivia have changed the way she learns, shifting her perspective that knowledge is something that comes from a classroom to the idea that knowledge can come from anywhere and everywhere if you are willing to take the time to explore.
Marisa Turesky '13
Marisa is from Cape Elizabeth, Maine and is majoring in Anthropology and Women's and Gender Studies. Her favorite Experiential Learning (EL) course was one she took her first semester at Brandeis, THA 4a The Vocal-Physical Connection. The course was a way for her to learn in a non-traditional way, giving her a greater awareness of her own body and learning style. Writing weekly papers, with priority placed not on grammar, but on content and writing method, showed her how writing can be an extension of our identities. Such a connection to her writing is particularly important to her as she plans to stay in academia. Additionally, she began to chronicle her dreams in a journal as homework for the class and continues to do so ever since because it has become a tool with which she can analyze her conscious and subconscious thoughts.
Rachel Usnik '13
Rachel is originally from San Antonio, Texas, but has not been home for more than a week or two at a time since graduating from high school. She is double majoring in Environmental Studies and Anthropology with a Legal Studies minor. One of her favorite Experiential Learning (EL) courses has been Advocacy for Policy Change. In this class she was given a state bill to advocate and lobby for. Through several trips to the Massachusetts state house and guided course assignments she gained insight on the skills required of a lobbyist. One of Rachel's most transformative experiences was studying abroad on a program with a strong experimental focus. She learned a lot about Denmark (her host country) as well as about herself and was able to meet amazing college students from all across the country.

The Senate took similar action already.
Still, big differences remain and advocacy groups say the House bill doesn't go far enough.
Erin Matson, Vice President of the National Organization for Women, discussed the issue on Capital Insider.

Back again with an update on the Wireless Networked Robot! It's Done! That's right it's all finished! Nine months in the making this has been a challenging and rewarding project as you will see in this writeup.
First off let us talk about what this little guy can do. Its method of propulsion is a set of tank treads connected to two 6 volt DC motors and gearboxes. It has two gear settings, one High, one Low. Those motors are each connected to an H-Bridge allowing the motors to be power either forward or backward. The H-Bridge is controlled via a micro-controller. The Micro-controller is an "Arduino Diecimila". The Arduino is running custom firmware "Mostly" written by me. It is controlling not only the motor direction but also handles headlight activation, and LED Status Bar control.
Movement is controlled via a WRT54GL Wireless router running openwrt and a custom script "not written by me". This robot can be controlled from anywhere there is an internet connection as long as the ports for the robot and camera are forwarded through the router. The Router is connected to the Arduino micro-controller using a ttl serial connection of which the router has two available serial ports but they are not visible to the general public. You must solder wires to the routers PCB in order to use these ports.
Also connected to the router is an ABS megacam 4210 wired network camera with 360 degree pan, 120 degree tilt, a microphone and audio out. This allows for 2-way audio communication over the network. Connected to the megacam is one of those portable battery powered speakers for mp3 players. So you can hear what the robot hears, see what it sees, and talk through it if you like!
All of this powered by an 18v 2.5ah Rigid Brand rechargeable Drill Battery. With this setup I get about an hours worth of play before I need to recharge. I hacked apart one of my chargers for the batteries (I had several) and used the plug to make the battery easily removable from the robot. Later plans include the ability to park the robot onto a charging base station. As well as including some type of battery status information sent wirelessly back to the operator.
It is all controlled via an application I wrote in Visual Studio .NET. The application has a built in web browser to access the web cam's stream as well as some of the controls. It also has controls for the robot on the right hand side of the application that control movement of the robot and the camera. There are settings for the camera and robot IP addresses/Ports. There are also settings for web control strings for the PTZ controls of the camera. The application can be controlled via keyboard shortcuts, clicking buttons on app with a mouse, or via an xbox 360 controller (my preferred method). The 360 controller works with the application by utilizing a piece of software called xpadder. This is an excellent application in which you can assign any number of keyboard keys to the xbox controller. Xpadder is available here http://www.xpadder.com. It is not free but is well worth the 16 dollars or so.
Here is a list of some of the internals:
- Linksys WRT54GL wireless router
- ABS Megacam 4210 wired Webcam
- Portable amplified speaker
- Arduino Diecimila microcontroller
- 2 – 12v positive fixed linear voltage regulators, a 1Amp and a 3Amp (camera, headlight, router, and arduino)
- 2 – 6v positive fixed linear voltage regulators (one per motor)
- 1 – 5v positive fixed linear voltage regulator (speaker)
- 1 – 12v relay for headlight activation
- 1 – 80′s Robot Toy (donor for body, motors and gearboxes, h-bridge and the head)

Many Nebraskans who made a New Year's resolution to lose weight have already fallen off the wagon. Dr. Brian Wansink (WON-sink) is a nutrition expert and suggests making small changes one at a time instead of wanting to drop 10 pounds immediately. He says most of us are creatures of habit so if we exercise daily it becomes routine.
Dr. Brian Wansink, Cornell University nutrition expert; "because it is inconvenient."
Dr. Wansink says when it comes to limiting food one of the easiest things is to get the junk food off the counter and replace it with healthy choices like fruit.
Not doing so well on your resolution to lose weight? Dr. Brian Wansink is a nutrition expert and says don't focus on dropping that 10 pounds in a week. He says small and steady changes win the race.
Wansink; "would not gain."
Dr. Wansink says the old saying holds true that if you repeat a good habit for about 25 days it becomes the norm. That holds true for not only food choices but for exercise as well.
Small but consistent changes in eating habits will help dieters win the race.
Wansink; "thinking about it."
Nutrition expert Dr. Brian Wansink says moving the candy dish off your desk is one great way to lower daily calorie intake without much effort.

Marjorie Quinn, servant of literature
A new donation to our collection is The Years that the Locust hath eaten: Memoirs of Marjorie Quinn, published by Arcadia, an imprint of Australian Scholarly Publishing.
It is of particular interest to Manly readers because the Quinn family were long-time residents, living in Darley Road and Addison Road. Marjorie Quinn was the niece of the well-known poet, Roderic Quinn, whose poem Manly was at one time a standard recitation for a generation of schoolchildren (see below). Her father, Patrick Quinn, was a journalist and was friends with many of the Bulletin poets, including Henry Lawson, Victor Daley and Henry Kendall. He became MLA for the Sydney Bligh electorate, and on his death in 1926 was buried in Manly Cemetery.
Marjorie Quinn was born in Sydney in 1889, and made her name as the founding secretary of the Fellowship of Australian Writers in 1928. She mixed in artistic circles and made pen portraits of many of the celebrities of the inter-war period. The value of her memoirs lies in these sketches of the characters of the likes of Dorothea Mackellar, Miles Franklin, and Ion Idriess as well as other minor writers with Manly connections such as Dora Wilcox and JHM Abbott, both of whom lived locally at one time, and the formidable administrator of Papua New Guinea, Sir Hubert Murray, (who grew up in a big house on North Steyne named The Pines). She seems to have had a talent for introducing unlikely individuals to each other.
Although her memoirs are primarily about other people, and are light on recollections of Manly, Marjorie Quinn remembered how much she relished body-surfing at South Steyne every morning well into her 50s.
My thanks go to Kath Berryman, who with Deborah McMahon was responsible for salvaging and publishing these memoirs, for her kind donation of a copy to our collection.
By Roderic Quinn
Lulled by breezes serene and tender,
Set by surges and snow-white sands,
Crowned with beauty and clad in splendour,
Matchless Manly for ever stands.
Hers forever the anthem olden
Breaking waves through the ages raise;
Mellow moonlight and noontide golden
Light with glory her nights and days.
Set apart with her hills and hollows,
Pines and beaches, at peace she dreams;
Hers the witch-lights the artist follows –
Held and spelled by their magic gleams.
Sought by all are the gifts she proffers –
Weary women and worn-out men,
Who so tastes of the cup she offers,
Longs to drink of its wine again.
No place else may a man discover
All the glory she ceaseless pours:
West of sunset are hearts that love her –
Dreaming ever of her lit shores.
Girt by waters that slumber never,
Swathed in glamour that ceaseless shines,
Loved and lovely she glows for ever –
Manly dreaming behind her pines.

This year's Fourth of July celebration will feature a Sangria Throwdown on the boardwalk at Asbury Park, NJ. The healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic will be competing in both the white and red sangria competitions.
Mr. Divabetic's diva inspiration for his White Sangria recipe is Bianca Jagger. Bianca Jagger is known for being both the first wife of Mick Jagger and one of the most impeccably stylish women in the world. Bianca's exotic beauty caught Mick's eye at a party in France in 1970 and they married a year later in St Tropez.
Bianca Jagger's beauty is a inspiring this cooler-than-cool sangria recipe dripping with '70s glamour.
Here's how you can make cheap wine taste 'chic using these ingredients:
1 1/2 liters bottle of Casa del Toro Savignon Blanc
1 bottle of Jaume Serra Cristalino (brut)
1/2 cup of Motezuma of Triple Sec
1/2 cup of Blansac French Brandy
2 cups of Low Calorie Apple White Grape Juice Drink
Mix ingredients. Add ice. Chill glasses and garnish with sliced apricots and golden delicious apples. (I like to pre-soak my fruit for 2 hours in brandy prior to mixing.) Top off each glass with a pineapple ring for added pizazz.
Raise a glass of this Studio 54 Sangria at your 4th of July celebration while decked out in glittering sequins and an exquisitely tailored white YSL trouser suits like Bianca herself. Enjoy!
The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic stops by the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party to learn healthy ways to enjoy the barbecue from everyday people.
Mr. Divabetic hosts Diva TalkRadio, a dynamic free online and mobile podcast channel featuring health care professionals, beauty, image/style and fitness experts, entertainment industry leaders and VIPs: women and men living with, at risk of and affected by diabetes.

text: Date: November 14th 2011What is the potential problem? Some vehicles may have been delivered or repaired with a DPS that has cracks on its main shaft. Pieces may detach inside the DPS and may block gears resulting in a sudden limitation of the vehicle steering range. In some situation, the operator could loose control of the vehicle which could result in serious injuries or even death.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Bands, and albums, that will never get old for me. Artists that have basically made me, me. And it still sticks true months after I wrote it. I don't think this list is ever going to get even the tiniest change.
Although I took letlive off. I love them, and they're freaking amazing, but they haven't really changed my life other than every time I hear anything by them Fake History gets stuck in my head on repeat, and I gotta make EVERY effort to go see them whenever they're close by, and they renewed my hope that not all music is going to be shit, but they didn't change me like these other beautiful masterpieces did.
These are like, my babies. They're gonna get unconditional lovin' no matter what happens ever.
Always and forever will I love this band, and those three albums, more than anything.
Their other stuff is pretty damn awesome too, but those three albums are like. Their prime stuff in my opinion. I really wish they'd go back on Tooth & Nail, or at least back to that sound.
I don't think that they will ever disappoint me with anything ever. They're too amazing, and my love for Toby Morrell probably would make me too blind to see that they should be disappointing me, if the impossible thing like that ever happens.
Haste The Day
Burning Bridges is a good album too, but I never did listen to it enough to make it something close to my heart like those two albums. I'm so sad I never got to see Haste before they called it quits, especially after they pumped out Wolf King. My god.
The Killers
Really, like, I used to listen to this album on repeat. I bought it, and I was in love. I bought the deluxe version for the extra 3 songs, and I was so sad when they didn't put anything else out for forever. And then Sams Town rolled around. I love that album too, but it's no Hot Fuss. After Sams Town I didn't much care for anymore of their music, but this album will alwaaaaaays be an inspiration to me.
Motion City Soundtrack
There's nothing against My Dinosaur Life, it's an amazing album right along with everything else they've ever crafted, but again I just have no been listening to it anywhere near long enough/connected with it/had it connect with me on the level as the other three have. Back in the day, forever ago, Everything Is Alright was one of the very first songs I actually heard that got me into music, or into the music that I was going to like, instead of just listening to what my dad played over the radio. And I fell in love the very first drum beat I heard from that video.
Story of The Year
It sooooooooo throws me back to when I lived in Kentucky, just hangin' with my best buds in their basement shooting pool, and playing video games, while bundeled up in super amounts of warm clothes, because cement basements aren't very warm during the winter. Loving every second of it, randomly finding a thong down there that my friend had stolen from our lesbian friends hot sister, and then making fun of him to no end because of how creepy that was. Good freaking times. Nothings gonna bring'em back, but I love to reminisce. And this album fits perfectly right along with everything.
Norma Jean
This is the album that pushed me towards heavier music. I fell in love on first listen, and I'm sooo glad I did. If I didn't have this album, then Motion City would have still been there to back me up with some form alternative/indie music I'm sure, but I still would not have had the experiences that I've had today without the heavy genre in my life I don't think. It's opened my mind to thinking, wanting to think more, wanting to make other people think as much as it's made me think, made me a lot of what I am today. And I certainly owe a lot of that to Norma Jean.
I'm sure there are waaaaaaaay more albums that I've left unmentioned, but they've just been lost in time for now. One day someone will play a song, and I'll be like, HOLY SHIT I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OLD BECAUSE THIS IS THROWBACK MUSIC, once again.
Bands that are going to steal my heart in the future?
Now, Dallas Green has my heart, but his acoustic music I've only really been into fora couple years now. And although I love him more than possibly any other artist ever, I can't go claiming that he's on the same standards as Alexisonfire, or anything yet. But I got faith in my boy, and he'll get there.
Pick 10 artists that you love before reading the questions
1. Emery
2. Alexisonfire
3. Motion City Soundtrack
4. Haste The Day
5. Senses Fail
6. The Killers
7. Coheed and Cambria
8. Anberlin
9. Closure In Moscow
10. Oh, Sleeper
What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Somebody Told Me
What is your favorite song of 8?
Favorite Anberlin song? Impossible. Not the song. Just impossible to pick. They're all fucking amazing. SKIPPING-
What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
Such a huge one. The one where when I meet Emery, whenever they decide to tour Florida again, and I get to meet Toby (I'm gonna make that shit happen) I'm probably going to break down into tears explaining to him how much he saved me through my young years, how much I respect them for the music they're doing now with things like I Never Got To See The West Coast, and the whole of WDWWW in general, because it helped me out AGAIN through all my most recent depression, and I know I wish I had a song like West Coast when I was going through my first huge depressed round of shit. Imagining doing it without them is an impossibility.
What are your favorite lyrics of 5?
I won't forget the day that, that I came to
And I started thinking that there's more
Than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons
And all I ever wanted was someone to
knock me back to the bliss of ignorance
'Cause I feel like running head first into traffic.
How many times have you seen 4 live?
Zero :((((((((((((
What is your favourite song by 7?
Oh you know it's A Favor House Atlantic. Best song ever. So many memories. So much throwback.
Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?
The Conversation used to, but not many anymore. I can't let their songs make me sad. If something affects my love with MCS to the point where I can't listen to any and every single song then I would KILL. EVERYTHING.
What is your favourite song by 9?
Ughhhhh. I always love Reindeer Age in the mornings. I'll go with that.
When did you first get into 2?
I wanna say it was back in '06. Fell in love with the self-titled.
How did you get into 3?
Watching Fuse one morning before school Everything Is Alright came on, my dad watched the music video with me, and I loved it. The sound and all of it, and then my dad explained to me the meaning (because he felt the need to try to drop wisdom bombs on me all the time to seem smarter or whatever haha) and I respected them still way more.
What is your favourite song by 4?
Probably When Everything Falls. But it's hard to just narrow it to that when everything I've ever heard from Haste has been nothing short of purely amazing. From start to finish. When Everything Falls just got my foot in the door with them, and I guess that I respect the shit out of that song for it. Especially the confidence it taught me to have in life with everything.
How many times have you seen 9 live?
Never -.- damn Aussies need to tour Amurika'!
What is a good memory concerning 10?
The time I picked up their bar tab, and then we took them out to iHop hahahaha. Greatest night EVER! Zac Mayfield hand fed me pancakes. Shane Blay openly just made fun of him for not being able to handle liquor every 2 seconds. We straight up talked medicine, religion, life, the navy, and everything with them for hours and hours and hours, and had the best fucking night ever. Probably the best 120ish bucks i've spent ever (grand total bar tab, two 20 dollar shirts, and ticket, and random drunk that followed us to iHop from the bar they played at that bailed on his tab that I picked up, for the whole night.)
Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
Inevitable will forever make a part of me sad. But I'm learning to just get past those things again. Who knows if that'll ever happen, and that's still a beautiful song, and I mostly just smile and scream along whenever it comes on, but it will always be one of those songs probably.
What is your favourite song by 1?
Allllllll of them. I cannot pick a favorite by them. They are my top 3 #1 spot bands, along with MCS and AOF, none of which do I have a single favorite for.
Brace yourself when the air grows thick.
And brace yourself when the world constricts,
And brace yourself for what will come next.
I just went through and vamped up my iTunes a little bit. Bunch of new music, and I'm stoked.
So much new shit, and I'm still probably going to listen to Children of Fire more than any of them, and before any of them haha.
Anyways, added:
Needless to say this is the only reason I am excited for work.

"Mawage. Mawage is wot brings us togeder today. Mawage, that blessed awangement, that dream wifin a dream…."
"And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva…."
The Impressive Clergyman, The Princess Bride (1987)
One of the greatest movies of all time (in my opinion) depicts such a heroic pursuit of tru wuv. I really think there should be a sequel about Westley and Buttercup raising a family. Now there's another great opportunity for some heroism! As I eluded to in another post, K & S Sittin' in a Tree, marriage is a lot different when a baby comes along.
It's much harder.
It's more confusing.
It's more frustrating.
And it can be one of the most exciting adventures, ever!
My Hero and I have been married for 6 and a half years, parents for almost 2 of those years, and he will readily admit that the most difficult time in our marriage was the first few months after our son was born.
Communication is different.
Expectations are different.
I let my new identity as a mother overcome my other roles, even that of being My Hero's bride.
And he suffered. Quietly. Patiently. And I hurt. Clueless as to how I could be everything for everybody.
But one of the most amazing answers to our prayers last year was going to the Love and Respect conference together…….twice!
I went into the conferences ready to learn applicable solutions to what both of us could do to fix our struggles. But what I actually came out with was something more powerful: a new perspective.
Dr. Emerson used Scripture, research, and personal insight to give me a better understanding of my husband and of myself. As a man, My Hero is going to perceive things differently than me, communicate things differently than me, and altogether have different needs to feel loved and respected. It was also enlightening to listen, and begin to understand why I do certain things and feel certain ways. It was like a light was turned on. And we could see each other and our marriage, a little more clearly in this new arena of parenthood.
It's not that all of our misunderstandings have suddenly disappeared. Daily, we have to trust the Lord to guide us to a place of understanding as we humble ourselves. But contrary to what I expected to learn as a solution, we didn't need steps 1, 2, and 3 of what to do. What we needed was a new perspective, of ourselves, and of each other.
Now, standing on the edge of becoming parents to another precious baby, we are speculating on ways that we can make our marriage a priority through one child's infancy and another child's toddlerhood.
While somedays I wish there was a formula or checklist of actions to do to reach this goal, I believe that it's this new perspective of myself and of my husband that will lead to a strong marriage through the adventures of parenting. As we understand each others' deepest needs, the actions will fall into place.
I don't expect that we'll ever have it all figured out.
It's a journey.
It's an adventure.
Together, My Hero and I are learning to understand each other more and love each other more deeply.
joy: "So tweasure your wuv." (The Princess Bride, 1987)
