Jessie seemed pretty cool... Ian can't act... Not sure that I'd mount all of that expensive air equipment to the truck via the spare tire crank though...
My prediction - she stays, he goes. There's no chemistry between the two of them, and she is better on camera. |

I'm pretty sure the *did* throw it together - likely with about 2-3 weeks of prep time for the first recording. I received an email from the producers in mid November stating they were getting ready to finalize the candidates... Figure two more weeks for that, a week of screen testing and then right into shooting - not much time.

Trucks is much better. Atleast you see him beat on on some of the shit he builds. And it isn't all bolt on. However Extreme4X4 rather sucked. Maybe, and I mean maybe, the jeep will be decent, but I doubt it. I won't be taking any special time outta my day to make sure I catch it. Her joke about the leaf spring was kinda funny though.

LOL..damn you figured out a lot from watching 1 episode I wonder if Trucks will be taking a different, non 4x4 direction with this show starting

Jessie is a Wyotech Grad. Top of her class in all fields. I think the guy will have his ass handed to him him on a regular basis. The CORE truck segment kicked ass. Lots of carnage and some interesting tech about that sport.

CORR in Crandon is wild - you have to get there if you haven't before. There is no way that they could catch the real action on film. You sit on the side hill less than 20 feet from that first corner and 30 trucks, each packing over 800 HP come 10 wide into that first corner/jump that is only wide enough for about 3... and they are drag racing to over 100 MPH when they hit it... Way cool. They have become a tad civilized compared to the old days, however... The track used to be a challenge just to get around (back in the "Brush Run 101" days). They had an earlier track across the main highway from where the new one is located and it was pure hell - swamp, hills, rocks as big as a house, logs, you name it - the object was the first one to cross the finish line after an hour of racing won - run whatcha brung... Lots of weirdness back then - F 250's on tractor tires, home brewed buggies and cars that looked like a salvage yard got hit by a tornado -- then there was the "good ole boys" race - where pure stock cars with snow tires ran the same track... Demolition derby for an hour at speeds as fast as you could make them go. Here's a couple of pics from my days racing there... Jack Flannery hitting turn 1 - circa 1980 My race car - "old school" - hammered the leaf springs over a stump to re-arch - and twisted the torsion bars up - gutted the interior - added snow tires and padded everything with old foam mattresses... Won class 2 years in a row! The car in action Another race shot

These guys interviewed me for over an hour on camera after the Glen Helen Baja Cup Challenge on Thanksgiving weekend. (It was a 2-hour enduro on a 3-mile track surrounding the Glen Helen Motocross area.)
They did seem rather "new"... His first question on camera was, "So, tell me a little bit about these Trophy Trucks." (We were standing next to my Class 7 Ford Ranger) It wasn't Jesse or Ian though. A guy named Jason Sharman. He and the cameraman were both actually very cool. He said they do all the footage and send it off to Nashville for editing. He said they have absolutely no control over what makes it on air. He also said they were given explicit instructions to shoot 4x4s, toyotas, and anything with skyjacker parts on stickers on it. It was raining, so I told him to wait in the parking lot and some retard should arrive shortly with everything they were looking for to spin some weak-ass mud donuts and flop it over onto his passenger's right forearm. They thought that was funny. They did A LOT of filming and asked a lot about my truck, but according to them it could be 30 minutes or 30 seconds that actually airs. I am hoping for the best, but I haven't seen the 1st show yet. Keep in mind though, even shitty shows increase exposure and have at least some potential to help us all. I'd work with them again in a heartbeat if they asked. Billy |

Just saw "Project Cheep Jeep". My spleen is bleeding. Wish I wasn't sick, or I'd have been wheeling.
Cool thing they talked a bit about DIY beadlocks. Bad. They're touting teraflex as the source of all that is good. Didn't regear after going to 38(?)'s. Avoided talking about aligning the pinion angle during the SPOA. Avoided talking about wheelhop, or other tradeoffs with SPOA without a traction bar, or other... Plus they give the message that using an RTI ramp means your "Xtreme". Yeah, it's a cheep jeep, but now it needs a tow rig because it's worthless on road. Off-road, eh, it'll run, but I don't like the tradeoffs, and they don't mention them.

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Cut & Paste
Designers battle it out in a tournament-style competition, and CH takes part in the judging
by Cool Hunting Video
on 14 November 2006
A little more than a year ago, CH sponsored Cut & Paste, the first design competition to square designers against each other in a live tournament-style battle. From the initial sold-out event in NYC, Cut & Paste has grown into a nationwide tour with stops in four cities featuring local designers and judges in each spot. For episode 55, CH joined the party that kicked-off their national series at a Brooklyn warehouse-turned-club to document eight of the best young New York designers duking it out on stage. The video captures the three high-energy rounds, a lively 1200-person audience and an unexpected turn. You'll have to watch to find out which of CH's crew stepped in last-minute to replace a judge who was sick.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Doctors at Methodist Central Hospital in Dallas saved a unborn baby after a car crash killed her mother.
Police in Dallas said that the woman's 15-year-old son was behind the wheel of the car when it veered off FM 1382 and flipped shortly before 1:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. Her 5-year-old daughter was also a passenger. ShaChela Gilbert-Womack was nine months pregnant and died from her injuries, according to authorities.
The 37-year-old's two children were taken to separate hospitals, with injuries that officers did not believe to be life threatening. The 15-year-old is just one month shy of his 16th birthday.
According to Gilbert-Womack's Facebook page, she married her husband in June. The couple was expecting a baby girl.
Police said that the baby was saved from the womb and is now in the neonatal ICU at Methodist Central Hospital.

What are Perchlorates?
Perchlorates are colorless and odorless salts that dissolve easily in water. There are five perchlorate salts that are manufactured in large amounts:
- Magnesium perchlorate
- Potassium perchlorate
- Ammonium perchlorate
- Sodium perchlorate
- Lithium perchlorate
Perchlorates are very reactive chemicals that are used mainly in explosives, fireworks, and rocket motors. Among other places, perchlorates occur naturally in saltpeter deposits in Chile, where saltpeter is used to make fertilizer. Perchlorates are also used for making other chemicals and were used many years ago as a medication to treat an over-reactive thyroid gland.
Perchlorates and the Environment
Perchlorates can enter the environment in and around sites where rockets are made, tested, and taken apart. Perchlorates have also been found in milk and food. Factories that make or use perchlorates may also release them into soil and water. Perchlorates will not stay in soil and will wash away with rain water. Perchlorates do eventually end up in ground water. While it is not known exactly how long perchlorates last in water and soil, the information available indicates that it is a very long time.
Perchlorate Exposure
Perchlorate exposure may occur in any of the following ways:
- Drinking water that is contaminated with perchlorates. Most contaminated water supplies are found near hazardous waste sites where perchlorates are found.
- Eating food or drinking milk contaminated with perchlorates.
- Living near factories that make fireworks, flares, or other explosive devices.
- Smoking or chewing tobacco, because a variety of tobacco products contain perchlorates.
- Living near a waste site or a rocket manufacturing or testing facility.
Perchlorate Health Effects
The health effects of perchlorate salts are due to perchlorate itself, and not to the other components (i.e., magnesium, potassium, ammonium, sodium, lithium).
Perchlorate affects the ability of the thyroid gland to take up iodine, an important chemical needed to make hormones that regulate many body functions after they are released into the blood. There is concern that people exposed to high amounts of perchlorate for a long time may develop a low level of thyroid activity (hypothyroidism). Low levels of thyroid hormones in the blood can lead to adverse effects on the skin, cardiovascular system, pulmonary system, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, liver, blood, neuromuscular system, nervous system, skeleton, male and female reproductive system, and numerous endocrine organs.
In spite of these concerns, studies have shown that health problems are unlikely at lower levels of perchlorate exposure. For instance, in one study, healthy volunteers took 35 milligrams (mg) of perchlorate every day for 14 days, and showed no signs of abnormal functioning of their thyroid gland or any other health problem. Other studies involving workers exposed for years to approximately the same amount of perchlorates found no evidence of alterations in the worker's thyroids, livers, kidneys, or blood.
Are Perchlorates Cancer-Causing (Carcinogenic)?
No studies have been performed with regard to perchlorate exposure and cancer in humans. However, long-term exposure to perchlorates induced thyroid cancer in rats and mice. Despite the finding of thyroid cancer in rodents, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has concluded that it is unlikely that humans share the same risk based on an understanding of the biology of human and rodent thyroid tumors.
Perchlorates have not been classified for carcinogenic effects by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Perchlorates and Your Family
It is very unlikely that perchlorates are present in the average home or apartment. However, families can reduce the risk of perchlorate exposure by drinking bottled water if they have concerns about the presence of perchlorates in tap water. If you live near a waste site that has perchlorates, you can reduce the risk of exposure by preventing children from playing in or eating nearby dirt.
Children are more likely to be affected by perchlorates than adults, because thyroid hormones are essential for normal growth and development. Although perchlorate has been found in breast milk, studies of thyroid function of babies and young children whose mothers were exposed to perchlorate in their drinking water have not provided convincing evidence of thyroid abnormalities associated with perchlorate. While thyroid gland problems have been found in newborn animals, there have been questions and concerns regarding the interpretation of these findings.
Perchlorate Detection
There are no routine medical tests to measure perchlorate in the body, but it can be measured in the urine with special tests. Because perchlorate leaves the body fairly quickly, perchlorate in urine only indicates recent exposure.
Federal Government Standards for Perchlorate
The EPA is currently undertaking efforts to determine if regulation of perchlorate in drinking water would represent a meaningful opportunity for reducing risks to human health. So far, the EPA has set a preliminary clean-up goal of 24.5 ppb for perchlorate in water.
Recently, Massachusetts became the first state to set drinking water and waste site clean up standards for perchlorate. Massachusetts set the standard at 2 ppb, and now requires most public water systems to regularly test for perchlorate.
Perchlorate Exposure - Getting Legal Help
If you or a loved one have experienced any symptoms or have developed any medical conditions related to perchlorate exposure, you should first seek immediate medical attention. In the event that you exposed to high levels of perchlorate at your place of work without adequate protection or in violation of government standards, you may wish to meet with an experienced attorney to discuss your options and to protect your right to a legal remedy for your injuries.

I had arranged to meet Jumbly at Rivington at 10am. Somehow I ended up running late so Ali got up and gave me a lift over I was still a little late but not too bad. The car was showing -3 degrees when I got there so I knew it would be a cold one. We headed up onto Winter Hill and the change in the weather was dramatic, the freezing fog cleared and the sun came out, we were both shedding layers. Over to Belmont and back up the cheeky path. Some riding some skating and some walking due to ice. All good fun. Then along the Belmont Old Road where we were looking down on the clouds, my camera had decided it didn't like the cold by this point. Before heading down to the cafe for cake. Within seconds it was freezing again. So leaving the cafe I put a couple of extra layers on and they stayed on the whole way home, as I slowly tried to avoid the ice.
I felt very lazy when I got home and found Ali back from a 15 mile run, I can't say she isn't training now!

Public Safety & Justice
Kentucky Wants Its Hemp
By Paresh Dave
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture is suing the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and other federal authorities in a fight over hemp seeds. Here's a look at why officials who had planned to be at a farm Friday will instead be in a courtroom.
What is hemp?
On the plant that makes the marijuana flower, hemp is the portion that contains only tiny amounts of the psychoactive chemical compound THC, which fuels the "high" of the popular drug.
Farmers have harvested hemp to weave cloth from its fibers and make food from its seeds. But those farmers have had to do their digging outside the U.S. since the country outlawed marijuana and its cousins in 1937 during the "reefer madness" era.
Although Kentucky says industrial hemp poses zero potential for drug abuse, federal authorities consider it a top-level narcotic whose domestic cultivation is banned. Imports of paper, clothing, rope and cosmetics made from hemp are OK.
In February, President Obama signed into law a measure allowing academic researchers to grow and market hemp in states that authorize it. The research is meant to inform lawmakers on whether commercial production should be legalized.
What is Kentucky trying to do?
Days after the federal law was signed, Kentucky announced plans to start about a dozen pilot projects to plant about an acre each of hemp. It's now one of 14 states that have authorized hemp research, according to the advocacy group Vote Hemp. The others are California, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia Kentucky bought 250 pounds of Italian seeds and planned to have researchers start planting them in late May, when conditions are perfect. They're hoping to learn which seeds thrive in which soils and what equipment best harvests the coarse stalks.
What did the DEA do?
As the seed shipment recently made its way to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers put a hold on the package at a UPS facility at Louisville International Airport, according to the state.
The DEA's position is that states are free to start testing hemp crops. But a separate law in place since 1970 says no one can import hemp seeds without getting a permit that classifies them as drug importers. In a letter this week, the DEA said it would take only a few days to process permits for the state's Agriculture Department and its associated universities.
Why doesn't the state get the permit?
Agriculture officials say it would be too burdensome and is unnecessary given the new law.
Holly VonLuehrte, chief of staff for the state agriculture commissioner, told the Los Angeles Times that the DEA had refused to list the responsibilities that would come with the permit.
Under a permit, VonLuehrte said, Kentucky suspects it would be required to protect crops with barbed-wired fences and other costly security measures.
"We could've gone through all this before," she said. "What was the point of the farm bill [signed by the president] if they want to make us go through this now?"
The state sued because it wants a federal judge to confirm its assertion that the new law supersedes all others on the books.
"We just need someone to settle the law so no other state has to deal with what Kentucky has been through," VonLuehrte said. "Right now, the law is whatever the DEA says it is."
The DEA wrote in a letter this week: "Our position is based on the well-settled principle that repeals of existing statutes by implication are not favored. Where, as here, there is a reasonable way to harmonize the new law with the existing law so as to give effect to both, this is the preferred approach."
What's next?
The U.S. District Court in Louisville scheduled a preliminary hearing in the state's case for Friday afternoon.
One question Kentucky is likely to pose is, how can the DEA justify its lack of enforcement against state-legalized marijuana and hemp sales in Colorado while pushing so hard against a federally authorized hemp program?
"The DEA arbitrarily intervenes into a perfectly legal process in Kentucky, all the while turning a blind eye to marijuana production in Colorado, where it's been said there are more marijuana stores than Starbucks," Agriculture Commissioner James Comer wrote in a statement Thursday.
VonLuehrte said Kentucky sees potential in hemp production to replace jobs lost during the recession, including in construction, manufacturing and coal mining. Kentucky's corn fields were once a top producer of hemp, state officials have noted.
The state's position is backed by its senior U.S. senator, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said he helped draft the hemp legalization provision.
"The agency should immediately release the hemp seeds so Kentucky pilot projects can get underway, which will ultimately lead to more economic opportunities in our state," McConnell said Thursday. In the meantime, Kentucky has put a hold on additional orders of seeds, including from Canada and China.
A group known as Growing Warriors, working through Kentucky State University, had planned to plant a batch of seeds Friday until thwarted by the DEA. The research group threatened to plant some donated seeds, but then said Thursday they would hold off pending the lawsuit. The DEA has also said schools cannot contract with private farmers to assist in the pilot projects.

A funeral service was held earlier today (Thursday, November 8) for SUICIDE SILENCE singer Mitch Lucker, who died November 1, after sustaining injuries in a motorcycle crash in Huntington Beach on Halloween night. The ceremony was attended by family and friends, including SUICIDE SILENCE bassist Dan Kenny, who tweeted afterwards, "Had to bury my brother today, he looked peaceful when I saw him. It was very hard but it was needed! To the fans just know Mitch loved yall" Also present at the event was Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen, who tweeted a picture of the funeral program (see below).
SUICIDE SILENCE has launched a memorial fund to provide assistance to Lucker's family. All proceeds donated to the official Mitch Lucker Memorial Fund will go towards the education of the singer's five-year-old daughter Kenadee Lucker. Those who donate $20 or more will receive a commemorative t-shirt. Those who donate $20 or more should include their name, shipping address and t-shirt size (S-4XL) in the comment box at the time of donation. Those who pledge $5 or more should include their full name at the time of donation so the band can add it to the tribute a page coming soon on the band's web site. According to the Los Angeles Times, Lucker struck a light pole near the intersection of Main and 13th streets and was thrown from his 2013 Harley Davidson. The motorcycle continued sliding south on Main Street and struck a northbound 2007 Nissan Titan pickup. Lucker, who was treated at the scene by paramedics, died shortly after 6 a.m. at UC Irvine Medical Center. Some of the singer's friends gathered last Thursday night in Riverside, California, where the 28-year-old grew up, to celebrate his life. A separate vigil was held at the crash site in Huntington Beach that was attended by fans as well as some of Mitch's family members, including his wife of two years, Jolie, and his daughter.SUICIDE SILENCE Frontman Laid To Rest

So, I enjoy talking photos but I think I've reached the limit of my several years old compact for taking riding and macro shots (see examples below).
I've sold a few bits recently so want to buy a DSLR that is upgradeable if I continue to enjoy taking pics.
I'm looking for a good frame with average finishing components (to use cycling terminology)...
Budget £400-£500ish. Should I be looking at second hand? Body + okay lens to begin with...

November 2nd, 2006
Well, I spent half my day and night in the l&d. I went to work and I work for the salvation army. Well we are having christmas assistance applications for the next two days and the hospital here in town is having a free health screening in our gym to anyone who signs up for assistance. Well, I am an employee, so I got to get tested too. They checked my blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Everything was normal except for my blood pressure. It was 157/111 !!!
so the nurse who was taking the reading just looked at me and said "i'm going to take it again on the other arm." so he did, and it was 149/116!
he said to me "you need to call your doctor immediately!" so I called and talked to my nurse, and I told her what my bp was and she said "you need to be seen right away. Be here in 20 minutes." so I left work and went to my doctor's office and I was seen by the other doctor (mine was delivering a baby). She checked my blood pressure three times but the only one she told me was 171/122.!!!
so she needed a urine sample and said that I have a tiny bit of protein in my urine, not alot, but more than normal. So she sent me to l&d for a 24 hour monitoring. Well, I get there and my bp is still really high and the doc ordered an iv (not sure why). And she said "if we can't get your bp down tonight, you're going to be induced next week." well, I was there from 3:00 until just a little while ago. They drew blood, and everything seemed normal, but my bp only got lower when I was sleeping or when I was laying down... My baby is ok. Her hb was steady over 150 the whole time. So, my doctor said I could go home. But I am not allowed to go to work the rest of the week, and I am only allowed clear liquids until tomorrow at 3:00. I have to do a 24 hour urine test, so when I pee, I have to pee in to a "potty hat" and dump it into this containerand refrigerate it. And then tom, I have to take it to the lab at my hospital. My doctor said if the protein levels in my urine increase over the next 24 hours, and if on thursday when I go to the doctor, if my bp is anywhere above 120/80, they are inducing me.
i'm scared.... Isn't thursday kind of long to wait if my bp this high? Or am I ok b/c my baby's hb is normal? What a day.... Just thought i'd share

I just wanted to say good luck! I've had high blood pressure and been on bedrest for the last 4 weeks or so. Mine hasn't ever been as high as yours though. At least if they induce next week you'll be 37 weeks (right?) which is full term. Hang in there!

Thanks so much for your reply here and on my other post
I am just in shock... My bp has been under 120/ 80 the enitre pregnancy and all of a sudden it spiked. Yes, i'll be 37 weeks, so I guess that makes it better.

Norway dropped their first UEFA EURO 2012 Group H points at home against Denmark but still had reason to be relieved after Erik Huseklepp snatched them a 1-1 draw with nine minutes remaining.
The AS Bari striker latched on to a pass from Daniel Braaten to beat Thomas Sørensen and deny the visitors a hard-fought victory at Ullevaal. Until then, Morten Olsen's Denmark had looked to be in control against a Norway side seemingly short on creativity, but coach Egil Olsen's decision to bring on Toulouse FC winger Braaten threw the visitors.
Having taken nine points from their first three Group H games, Norway knew victory would give them a huge boost as they bid to reach the finals in Poland and Ukraine, with the match being billed as the game of the year in both nations. However, the hosts fell behind on 26 minutes when Rommedahl connected beautifully with a loose ball from a corner to send a dipping shot past Rune Jarstein.
The Danes had been the more composed side on the ball in the first half, and even though Norway seized the initiative after the break, they were rarely allowed a sight of Sørensen's goal until Huseklepp struck. After that, Norway moved in to grab all three points, but despite passionate backing in Oslo, there were to be no more clear-cut chances.

Well, we are 1 week out of school and I have already begun preparation for transitioning my son to summer school. It will begin in July, will not be held at his regular elementary school, and his special ed instructor and therapists are unfamiliar to him. To be honest, I have been preparing for summer since March. We have a six month lead time on most of what we request to ensure things run smoothly for my son. Issues can conveniently slip through the cracks if we are not on top of things daily. Appropriate lead and time management ensures accountability. I am confident that with the social story created, summer school pictures requested, and daily visits to the school playground, it will be enough to familiarize my son to his new surroundings and minimize his anxiety...or so I hope and pray.
Onto the requests we have made for fall. Again, we have been dealing with these requests since April 1 (PPT meeting). We have had limited success in getting any progress and my frustration was nearing monumental proportions. This is something I never want because my emotional side takes over and I feel like my credibility is lessened and brushed off as "just another emotional parent". I really hate it when I let the love and passion I have let loose because tears begin flying and I can't seem to stop....credibility lost. This is where I have been for months with the school.
The administration was sticking their heals in for 2 requests of ours: retain paraprofessional and teacher for consistency and educational progress. Note: we decided to retain our son in Kindergarten for another year to allow his social skills to develop and close the gap between his peers. We were told in no uncertain terms that our requests would not be honored because of school policy. In light of these "policies", I began requesting some major preparation and transition plans for my son: (1)new para train with the current person to understand my son's motivations and personality (2) this individual had to have special education training (3)I would have to meet with him/her and (4) a timeline prepared of how the school intended to handle the transition. All of this never happened. Frustration was mounting when I received a call from the school (on my son's last day) indicating that our requests will be granted for the coming year. Better late than never. Amazing!
It is one more victory for us and proof that if you advocate for your child, the school cannot ignore your pleas....even the emotional ones. I'm not sure why the change of heart. I have a feeling it was due to lack of planning and some thorns in their sides (us), but it really doesn't matter. What matters is that my baby is going to get what he needs and that is priceless to me. All will be forgiven if the school does right by my son. Thrilled doesn't even come close to what I am feeling.

Autism - Sunflower
Dedicated to Miss Kathleen (xoxo)
The school year is at an end. I usually don't have trouble overextending myself in gratitude to the team of school personnel that have worked with my son. This year is a little different. My heart isn't in the same place as previous years and I struggle to find the right words (or any words for that matter) to express appreciation for their guidance. There hasn't been all that much. The team involvement was not what I had hoped for at the beginning of the year (see post from September's http://www.pressdough.blogspot.com) . I must emphasize that my distant feelings are not meant for all of my son's assistance (his paraprofessional and physical therapists are fabulous).To the individuals who have dedicated themselves to my son and to me are, I have to thank you from the depths of my heart and soul. I leave you with a poem (or whatever you would like to call it as I am no poet) I wrote about our angel on top:
Radiant Sunflower
Roots tangled
Roots tangled
Dirt unsettled
Struggles to break the barrier
Breaks through with unnoticeable difference
Additional water, sun, nurturing and love required
Inconvenient with an unfamiliar amazement
Greenery begin to show
Setbacks endured
Watch with anticipation
Watch with hope
Blossoming with its uniqueness
Bursting with beauty
Earning each petal, one by one
The core so strong
A sunflower emerges despite itself
Character created
Never defeated
Struggles to break the barrier
Breaks through with unnoticeable difference
Additional water, sun, nurturing and love required
Inconvenient with an unfamiliar amazement
Greenery begin to show
Setbacks endured
Watch with anticipation
Watch with hope
Blossoming with its uniqueness
Bursting with beauty
Earning each petal, one by one
The core so strong
A sunflower emerges despite itself
Character created
Never defeated
Special education teachers, paraprofessionals, physical therapists, speech pathologists, occupational and social skill therapists, adapted physical education instructors and mainstream teachers working with inclusion:
Please keep your dedication to our children, try not to be afraid of becoming emotionally invested, stay true to what you know is right for the child and know how much you mean to us (the families). Thank You!

Autism - The "BIG" Walk
In my need for creating memorable traditions, every year since my son was diagnosed, we raise money and go on (what my son calls) the "BIG" walk. It is a day of celebrating and support of our children who are on the spectrum for autism. There are many organizations for autism that have walk events throughout the year. For us, we participate in the Autism Speaks, Walk for Autism held at the Manhattanville college campus at the beginning of June.
The day is even more important because it usually is scheduled during the same week as my son's birthday. This year was no different. We all woke up bright and early and began with joyful, excited, and repetitive announcements from my son: "Today's the BIG walk, Mom?", "When are we going to the BIG walk, Mom?", "We will bring the wagon, Mom?" We all wear, the coveted, red t-shirts to show our comradery. Red also happens to be my son's favorite color. The weather was perfect as we wait for our family of team members to arrive at our house.
After packing up the cars, all the members of team RYEBREAD (a nickname we gave to our son at birth...he was as tiny as a Ryebread) loaded in. Upon arrival, my son took controls of the wagon handle and began pulling it up the hill to where all the walkers were congregating. It is quite an event. There was face painting for kids, tattos, bouncers, refreshment stands and an information tent where families can seek out resources. That tent in itself is probably lifesaving to many.
The horn blew and we were off walking in appreciation of all our family, friends, and acquaintences that so generously gave to our fund. It always is a bit emotional for me. I see such sparkle in my son's eyes and hope that everyone can see what I see. This is a child so eager to please, so gentle in mannerism, so impressionable yet makes the most impression on us all, fun loving with a sense of humor, truly a harmonious person... Do or can others see what I see?
Last thought - As we walked, we thought to bring my son's new bubble blower. It was one of the best things we did that day. Bubbles make children laugh and parents happy for the distraction. Has a bubble ever popped on your cheek? It can bring out the silliness in anyone.
It was a fun morning and another year with tradition...or some could say routine:)

I got up at 4 this morning and still haven't been near a sewing machine. I put a new belt on my upstairs vacuum cleaner. In order to do that, I had to take the entire bottom of the vacuum apart. I have never seen anything so convoluted in my life. All the bits and pieces came off easily until it got to the point where I had to put the belt onto the brush. An HOUR later I finally got the brush out and put everything back together. Yes, it works! I think today will be a good day to do all those things I keep putting off - like hanging a new door to the basement (I have some MAD carpentry skills!), rewiring one of the lamps in my living room, cleaning the refrigerator (bummer) and re-potting some plants.
Tomorrow is a day with the long arm. I think I am going to quilt the spider web quilt and also the braided quilt. If all goes well, I will have photos tomorrow.

Read MoreChartwell's, as Tuscana is known as among Southeastern students and staff, is iffy at best. When there are large amounts of campus visitors, food is better. However, on the average weekday, it's a little harder to find something worth eating. Weekends are even rougher. You can always count on a few of the stations having the same menu every day: The Grill always has burgers and hotdogs, the salad bar is always open, there's always pizza, and there's always sandwiches. Students learn to survive, but it's very popular to see people minimize their meal plans to get more campus funds to use in our campus Chick-fil-A Express (which only has a handful of options). We all look forward to the future plans of adding more restaurants on campus in a few years.
Read MoreChartwells is good. There is a lot of variety. However, sometimes the food can upset your stomach because they use a lot of oil/grease.
Read MoreNew to campus this past fall, Chick-Fil-A is now at Southeastern University! With its regular hours, students are able to enjoy a tasty chicken sandwich all day long if they are not wanting to go to our dining hall. Our main campus dining facility is Tuscana Resaurante, where all SEU students get a meal plan for the year with a wide variety of food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For you coffee lovers, we have an amazing coffee shop of our own as well called, Portico. Portico has average prices on all of their coffee and all of its proceeds go to mission trips that the school goes on. So whether you`re studying, going to class, or just hanging out with your friends, you will always find yourself stopping in at these hot spots on campus!
Read MoreProvides great dining opportunities one is Restaurant Tuscana where you are provided with a variety of nutritious food.
Read MoreTuscana has a great selection of food to choose from at each meal. Many people complain that it is the same food every day, but that isn't completely true. Several of the stations have the same food because that is just what their station is. But even in those stations there is a variety of choices. There is also a Chick Fil A Express on campus now which is awesome. One can also buy snacks and such in Mi Casa.
Read MoreThe school cafeteria is called Tuscana. It looks like a restaurant. The food is not spectacular, but not terrible either. They do need more variety in my opinion, as the menu just repeats itself weekly. There is a Chick-fil-A on campus as an alternative to Tuscana, but the school meal plan does NOT include the Chick-fil-A. So have your friends and family send you some extra spending money from time to time so you can eat there too!
