The last few weeks have been busy and I've a bit stressed trying to keep track of all the moving parts. Everything bubbled to the surface this past Sunday night when Chris and I got into a quibble about cleaning. I was frustrated about how the living room was covered in dust (as a result of him fixing a leak and patching the ceiling), and he was frustrated that I was getting so worked up about some dust (and seemingly unappreciative of what he had done). I recognized that we were each coming at the situation from different perspectives, but couldn't articulate that in the moment. I completely (and wrongfully) skipped over the part about thanking him for taking the time to fix it and jumped right ahead to worrying about who was going to clean up the mess since we were having family over for dinner the following evening. Chris reacted to my overreaction, and pointedly asked, "Why are you so crazy about cleaning?!" It was a legitimate question.
My freakout about cleaning reaction wasn't really about the dust – I was taking my stress about other things in my life out on him, including stress about a big assignment due at work the following day. I couldn't move past it when really, it wasn't a big deal. The world would not collapse into itself if things didn't get cleaned up right that minute and it's not like we were going to eat off the living room rug. We were going to eat off plates like civilized people in the dining room. But, I was being too stubborn to back down.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I failed to show my appreciation for what I had in front of me: a talented (albeit now frustrated) husband, willing to spend his free time patching the ceiling (among other home improvement projects like, building a mudroom addition which will be getting its very own entry), climbing out of bed to kill spiders for me, and hundreds of other meaningful gestures of love and kindness. (OK, maybe he kills spiders on my behalf to maintain his own sanity because he doesn't want to hear me worry about how they might turn into mutants and take over our house or climb all over our faces while we're sleeping, but I digress.)
As it turns out, Chris worked his magic on Monday and the house was spotless, I got my project done on time, and dinner was perfect. I knew I needed a break though, so on Tuesday, instead of rushing around town after work to pick up the dog, book it to the gym, fit in an errand, cook dinner and more, I threw my schedule out the window and just slowed down. I ran Cooper around the yard for a bit before cleaning my car out top to bottom – a chore that I had been putting off for weeks. I had a leisurely dinner, stopped by the library to grab a few new books, visited with my parents, and then read instead of watching crappy TV shows before bed (Bravo, I love you, but we need to take a break). I was a little sad that I didn't get to work out, but the whole evening was a good reminder that taking care of myself means much more than just working out, eating well, and checking off my to-do list.
It means taking a step back and putting thing in perspective: the challenges I'm facing aren't difficult in the grand scheme of things – at any given moment, people are facing hardships that make my problems look like a great vacation. So, I'm going to make point to try to keep things in better perspective and to acknowledge and appreciate what I do have: a wonderful husband and fantastic family and friends (who love me despite my faults), a roof over my head, food on the table, a job to go to every day, my health… the list goes on.
I stumbled upon two other things that quite literally helped to put the universe into perspective for me and reminded me just how inconsequential some dust in the living room is.
- A Radiolab podcast called Escape! Listening to this podcast, during the second segment, I learned about the two Voyager spacecraft, which scientists believe have reached the outer limits of our solar system and are heading into seriously unknown and uncharted territory where the sun is no longer king. What's going to happen? Nobody knows! The mystery of it all is beautiful and if physicists can figure out how to send things into outer space, I think I can problem-solve a dusty room.
- The Scale of the Universe 2. This site allows you to explore different facets of our existence as humans from the microscopic level of a tiny atom, all the way out to the edges of the observable universe and everything in between. Be sure to zoom both in and out to get the full experience. A great way to see our world from more than one perspective!
Dust and mutant spiders aside, I hope you enjoy the links!

Frustration grows over tactics in Proposition 8 campaign
The recrimination over the passage of Proposition 8 continue. At a forum held in West Hollywood over the weekend, speakers discussed problems with the campaign against the measure, which banned gay marriage in California. And like previous discussions, this one ended up coming down hard on the tactics used by the No on 8 campaign. More from WeHo News:
Most of the voices heard expressed frustration and/or anger at what they called the insular and inept leadership of the campaign.
Organized by Robin Tyler, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that won Californians the right to marry, and the organization Marriage Equality, on whose board she sits, a panel of long time activists listened to speakers and then opined themselves on the No On 8 campaign's shortcomings.
As the meeting wore on, it became apparent that a consensus developed that the grassroots part of the movement had been used poorly, at best, and ignored completely at worst.
Prominent gay movement icon Ivy Bottini, a West Hollywood Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board member and veteran of anti-gay initiative politics, having led the successful fight against 1976's Proposition 6, the Briggs Amendment, noted immediately that she had not even been called by the small No On 8 executive campaign committee.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Monday's GoDaddy outage for which one person claimed credit was not a hack at all, GoDaddy said in a press release on Tuesday, just a breakdown of the domain registrar's servers. It's the first time GoDaddy has given any information at all about what happened, though the explanation is still fairly limited: "We have determined the service outage was due to a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables," the company wrote. But the outage was still a big attention-getter for whoever is tweeting under the handle @AnonymousOwn3r, even if he or she didn't have anything to do with it. That account took credit for the outage early on and became the focal point of just about every news story on the outage, including ours, as reporters seized on it as the only explanation being offered for the domain hosting service's outage. Meanwhile, @AnonymousOwn3r gained about 6,000 new followers overnight. It's posted retweeted lots of salutary remarks, but hasn't said anything about GoDaddy's press release. The company apologized for the outage in its press release, writing, "at no time was any customer data at risk or were any of our systems compromised."

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Braintree, the fastest growing payments platform for online and mobile commerce, today introduced Venmo Touch, a service that enables one touch payments across multiple applications. By facilitating a seamless checkout experience, Venmo Touch will save consumers the hassle of having to re-enter payment information on a mobile device across merchants in the Braintree network. The company is releasing Venmo Touch in private beta for select Braintree clients, with HotelTonight, TaskRabbit, Wrapp and several others enabling the service for their customers over the coming weeks.
Braintree currently enables repeat purchases for over 35 million consumers across thousands of e-commerce sites and applications by storing consumers' payment information for future use at those merchants. Venmo Touch is taking one touch payments a step further so consumers can enter their credit card information once and pay across the many merchants in Braintree's network.
Venmo Touch eliminates the need for consumers to re-type credit card numbers by providing a secure, connective layer across all apps on a mobile device. When users enter their payment information into one of the apps in the network, they will be prompted to "save the card with Venmo" to enable one touch payments when using other apps on the same device. This process protects against unauthorized purchases as the user simply enters the credit card security code when using a new app.
"Filling out forms and entering payment information on a mobile device is a real hassle for users," said Bill Ready, CEO of Braintree. "Each time a user downloads a new app, the user needs to re-enter payment information, creating frustration for users and a huge obstacle in the user sign-up process for apps. Venmo Touch lets you store payment information once and then use it across multiple apps without requiring users to sign-up or download a separate app. This makes the payment and sign-up process much easier."
"As an app developer laser-focused on customer experience, one of our primary goals is simplicity. It's great to offer customers who opt-in one fewer step between download and booking a hotel room," said Sam Shank, CEO of HotelTonight. "Braintree understands that consumer experience is a huge differentiator for mobile apps, and Venmo Touch will make that experience even better."
Venmo Touch is a result of the vision shared by Braintree and Venmo (acquired by Braintree in 2012) to design the best possible user experience for payments on mobile devices. Venmo Touch is free for consumers and Braintree clients. To learn more about Venmo Touch, please visit touch.venmo.com. Additional information can also be found at braintreepayments.com/blogs/blogtree or blog.venmo.com.

Braintree's consumer brand, Venmo, offers a digital wallet and mobile payment application that extends Braintree's payment platform to consumers, making it easy for consumers to make payments on mobile devices.

I am starting to think things happen by design out here that all flaws are not unknown my case in point is this product. After 10 years of business with a company all the sudden or emails we sent were sent back as rejected upon going around for two weeks with this company and their IT people we can't and won't change this firewall you have a malformed MIME Header, see what it reports and yep it was a malformed header beased upon RFC that were based upon 1996 &1998 SMTP MIME standards, only my open source email server is compliant to standards a little bit later then that. I had to learn how this sucker worked and read the fine print after a link was sent from their Direcing IT dude I found the info I needed in the fine print. I pointed the fact out that my MIME standards were a bit more current then his or the web site MIME checker they sent me as proof.
He called Symantec and they said to fix the problem they need to upgrade to the current version. If they had to pay for this then this is where the designed flaw comes into play. I am sure they issue upgrades to this firewall/email checking thing and first was the first company that installed that free be current Norton AV thing. Only they did not say to use it you had to have the latest release of the software an upgrade that I hope did not cost the company but most likely did. Now today I have another one same problem Error 56 mailformed MIME Header. As any good IT person now days we tested emails all afternoon and he offered the MIME proof because he trusted his product and well I trust mine as well but he never emailed me back after I offered up the proof that the product uses old standards ( I had to learn more about this thing the last two weeks then I truly wanted) based upon STRICT RFC STANDARDS that are a few years outdated.
Lets see how this one plays out this is a big nation wide company and I venture to guess cost them a few bucks to get their firewall/scanner up to date. Me I'm old school nothing wrong with what we use and well the area I work in your a sub contrctor on a local project it's not me it's you.
So is all this by desgin or product releases and upgrades or are such things preventing major business from being conducted? Software the name brands are falling very short people have to work do not make a problem and then charge people mony to correct it.

You need to sit down, for two reasons:
First, it's a long story.
And second, if you've been reading this blog for a while, then my opening line is going to knock you off your feet.
Okay, are you ready? Are you sitting? Here it comes:
Bud met Dierks Bentley.
I know. I KNOW!
Dierks Bentley!!!
I know!!!
But it's so, so, so much cooler than that.
So, let me back up.
Bud had a tough summer, behaviorally speaking. First it was tough. Then it was tougher. Then it was nearly unlivable. I'd been working closely with Bud's doctor all along, but when we reached "unlivable," our problem-solving kicked into high gear and we made some significant medication shifts.
And, at just about the same time, Dierks and Cassidy Bentley rode to our rescue.
Dierks was touring with Brad Paisley and had a show scheduled at a venue that's just a couple of hours from our house - an easy drive on country roads. The show was at a county fair, which, I knew, could be a double-edged sword: a high probability of a family-friendly environment, but also a high possibility of sensory overload, with crowds and rides and animals and activity. But still: Bud and I were stuck in a no-win cycle of troubling behavior (his) and inadequate responses (mine). I felt like we needed something to shake up the pattern.
Something big.
If there's one thing that I've learned as the parent of a child with autism, it's this: when somebody says "Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do," what they really mean is this: "Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do." Seriously. Lots of people offer support and empathy. Lots of people say things like "I don't know how you do it" and "My heart really goes out to you" and "That sounds really tough." And I really, really appreciate their support. But those people who say "Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do?" They mean it. Now, they might not be willing to give you a kidney, but they really do want to help if they can. Take them at their word, and - trust me on this one - if there's ever anything they can do, please let them know.
Luckily for me, Cassidy and Dierks are "Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do" people. Because this year, as the tour swung close to our house, I had a hunch that there was something they could do. I contacted Cassidy and, after acknowledging that I was quite aware that it's bad form to respond to someone's generosity with a request for more, I floated an idea. I gave her the background on the tour's proximity to our house, and I told her that I thought that Bud was probably not ready to manage the concert environment. But, I said, I thought he might be able to manage a meet-and-greet. And, I said, the reason I was willing to boorishly plow in and make the request was that I had a hunch that if Bud found himself face-to-face with Dierks Bentley, it would be an "Anything Is Possible" moment for him. And if Bud needed anything at that time, it was an "Anything Is Possible" moment.
Cassidy responded right away: "Yes. Absolutely." I told her that I wasn't at all confident that I would get Bud through the gate, that there was every possibility that we'd drive two hours and he'd refuse to get out of the car, that he would panic at the entrance and we'd have to call the whole thing off. She said that was fine, that Bud's comfort was the most important consideration, and that we could give it a try knowing that everyone would be flexible and take their cues from him.
I know. Incredible.
As the day approached, I watched Bud closely. We'd just made a huge shift in his medication. I tried to assess its effectiveness and predict his ability to manage a meeting with his hero. A couple of times, I nearly called it off. The night before our scheduled meeting, Cassidy sent me a reassuring e-mail, and I had the sense that, though she was back home in Nashville and wouldn't be there for The Meeting, she was still as nervous and excited as I was.
And then, the big day came. I woke to Bud's face in my face, his body curled up next to mine. "Can we go to the dinosaur museum today, Mom?"
"No, Bud," I said. "Not today. We're going to do something else today."
"Like what?"
"Well," I started, "today we're going to meet Dierks Bentley."
I looked at Bud, whose face was buried in the pillow. His body didn't move. The silence continued. And continued.
I started to wonder if he'd fallen back to sleep.
Finally, when I couldn't stand it any longer, I said, tentatively, "Bud?"
He kept his in the pillow and replied, "I don't think so, Mom."
I paused a moment, weighing my options. To push or not to push?
"Oh, I think so, Bud," I said, trying to keep my tone casual. "Dierks is going to be at a fair near here, and he would REALLY like to meet you."
"I'll just stay with Nana and Papa," he said.
"Well," I said, grateful that we had several hours before we'd need to leave home, "let's just think about it. We don't need to decide right now."
We laid there quietly side by side, each of us trying to make sense of the situation and figure out what to do next. After a long time, Bud spoke.
"Dierks would like to meet me?"
"He sure would," I said. "Look, Bud, I want to show you an e-mail that Cassidy sent me."
I powered up my laptop, pulled up her e-mail, and read it out loud as Bud sat next to me reading along silently. Then, I highlighted the things I wanted him to think about. "Look, Bud. Cassidy says three important things. First, she says that Dierks' friend Chris will find a quiet place for us to see Dierks, so even though we will be at a fair, it won't be noisy. Second, she says that the most important thing is for you to feel comfortable. You can do whatever you want to do, and you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. And third, she says that if you want to, you can see Dierks' tour bus."
I waited. I knew that the tour bus was the ultimate carrot. One of Bud's favorite videos on dierks.com features Dierks giving a tour of his bunk on the bus. Bud loves it so much that he convinced me to string up a curtain by his bed so he could have a bunk of his own. I knew that the idea of seeing the ACTUAL bunk would be almost irresistible.
"I could see the bus?" he asked.
"That's what Cassidy said."
"I could see Dierks' bunk?" he asked.
"Well, maybe," I said. "His bunk is on the bus."
Bud didn't say anything. We finished up our morning routine, then headed down the stairs for breakfast. From the kitchen, I could hear Bud open the door to the room where his grandparents were sleeping.
"Hey, Bud," Nana greeted him. "What's up?"
"I'm meeting Dierks Bentley," he said.
Score one for the tour bus.
As the morning progressed, Bud's excitement grew, and soon he was dressed in a Dierks Bentley t-shirt, considering whether or not to bring along his guitar, and firing questions at me about what length Dierks' hair would be, whether or not he'd have a beard, and what sort of shirt he'd be wearing. In other words, Bud had found his groove.
I did my best to prepare him, though I wasn't sure what to expect myself. But I played it out this way: We would drive for about two hours until we got to the fairground. There would be lots of cars, and we might have to park far away and take a shuttle to the gate. We would wait in line at the gate to buy tickets to the fair (but, I was quick to add, we would not actually have to GO to the fair). Then we would walk through the fairgrounds to get to the area where Dierks was. Dierks' friend Chris would meet us there, and he would bring us to a quiet area. Then Dierks would come and say hello. I carefully avoided the specifics of what would happen when he met Dierks, so that I wasn't setting up false expectations, but in my mind I pictured 5-10 minutes of contact, during which Bud might or might not make eye contact, might or might not say anything, and might or might not let me take a picture of the two of them together. And of course, maybe we would get to see the bus. Then, we would head back through the fairgrounds, make our way back to the car, and drive two hours back home. And I knew that if our day was anything even close to that, it would be a dream come true for Bud.
My first indication that things might not play out exactly as I'd imagined came as we drove up the highway toward the fairground and my cell phone rang. It was Chris Alderman, Dierks' tour manager, calling to confirm our meeting time, to let me know how excited they were to have us visit, and to reassure me that they were all prepared to play it by ear. He told me that he'd put my name on the list for backstage parking so that we wouldn't have to worry about dealing with the fair crowds. At least 50% of my anxiety lifted in that moment.
"And, hey," he said, "why don't you guys plan on grabbing some dinner from catering with us as well? Then you won't have to worry about that either." I'd packed a peanut butter sandwich for Bud, but eagerly agreed to the plan.
I said goodbye to Chris and filled Bud in on the latest development. I was relieved to know that we wouldn't have to face the potential landmines in the parking/gate/fairground process. Then it occurred to me that there was another piece of information I should share with Bud, because if we were going to be in the backstage area eating in the catering tent, then...
"Hey, Bud," I said. "Just so you know, there's also a chance that we might see Brad Paisley."
Bud's response was immediate and decisive. "No. Just Dierks."
I knew what he meant. He likes Brad Paisley, but really, enough was enough. What was next? Hey! Watch me pull Kenny Chesney out of my hat!
"You don't have to talk to him," I said quickly. "You just might see him around. Walking by or something." I dropped it, but thought to myself, how is this my life?
Before long, we reached the fairground. Having no idea how to find backstage parking, I chose the gate furthest away from it. I texted Chris to tell him we'd be there soon, then wound through slow-moving traffic, talking to a steady stream of mostly kind parking attendants as I fumbled through an explanation of what I was trying to do. Finally, I got to the parking attendant stationed right by what appeared to be the backstage entrance. I don't know if he'd been getting a lot of stories like mine or what, but he was not buying what I was selling. Bud started getting nervous in the back seat ("But, Mom, where is Dierks?"), and I was just about to start to panic, when I heard a friendly voice approach the car: "Hey! You made it!"
It was Chris, who had a quick chat with the parking attendant, then motioned to me to swing my car around and through the now-open gate. Relief washed over me as I pulled through and Chris motioned to a spot just inside the gate. As soon as the car stopped, Bud and I climbed out, and I was about to start thanking Chris when a voice to our right said "Hey, guys!"
We were parked next to Dierks Bentley's bus. And Dierks' head was sticking out the window.
"Bud, look," I said. "Who's that?"
Bud glanced up, then turned his back to Dierks, stared down at the ground, and said "That's Dierks."
I looked back at Dierks, who motioned to me - Should I come out?
I shrugged and nodded (I don't know; I think so.), and in a flash he was with us. "Hey, Bud! It's nice to meet you!"
Bud kept his eyes down, but lifted his hand and said to the ground, "Hey, Dierks!" I wasn't sure how to read him. Was this moving too fast? Did we need to slow down?
I put my head next to his and asked, "Hey, Bud, what do you think about this?"
He answered softly, but clearly: "I think it's really cool."
We all exhaled, and I said, "It is cool, Bud."
Dierks asked Bud if he'd like to take a walk around, Bud said that he would, and then we were off. The ice was broken and we were all, surprisingly, getting comfortable quickly. We walked through the grounds, as Dierks and Chris gave us the lay of the land, pointing out tents and trucks and trailers until we were at the back of the stage area. As we approached the stairs, I saw a familiar face heading down them.
"And there's Brad Paisley," said Dierks, as Brad walked toward us and Dierks made introductions.
Brad said something. At least, I think he did. I know his lips moved. All I could really hear, though, was the voice inside my head yelling to Bud, "PLEASE don't offend Brad Paisley!" And Bud must have heard, because he answered the questions Brad asked him, then stood by patiently as Brad talked shop with Dierks.
When they were done and Brad said goodbye, we turned back to the stage, which was swarming with crew members wheeling equipment and instruments, shouting to be heard over cranking music. Dierks surveyed the scene in front of us and without missing a beat said, "Hey, Bud, would you like to see the bus?"
"Sure!" Bud replied, and they walked side by side, their comfort with each other already visible, as they headed back toward our car.
And then, we entered the promised land: the tour bus. Dierks gave Bud the all-access tour, opening cabinets and drawers to show Bud where they store the peanut butter and where they keep their shoes, a view of each guy's bunk, and - the best part for Bud - Dierks' bunk - the very bunk that Bud had seen on video so many times. Bud was delighted. Dierks explained that the other guys were out playing golf, but would be back soon, and then he asked Bud if he'd like to go get some dinner. Bud was quick to agree.
We made our way to the tent where the catering staff had laid out a ham dinner buffet. Bud looked at the ham, potatoes, veggies, and other decidedly non-Bud foods, looked at me warily, and said, "Mom?"
"You know, Dierks," I said, understanding Bud immediately, "Bud has a peanut butter sandwich in the car. He and I will just run and grab it, then we'll meet you back here."
"Why don't I just bring my dinner and we can eat on the bus?" Dierks suggested. "Would that work?"
"YEAH!" Bud cheered.
We headed back to the bus, and Dierks and Bud settled down at the table and started chatting.
It was about that time that I realized I could easily slip out and get my nails done and the two of them would carry on just fine without me. But I wasn't about to miss a minute of it, as I sat slack-jawed and watched my son not just respond, not just interact, but actually initiate real conversation by seeking out topics that he thought might interest his friend.
"So, Dierks, I was just wondering," Bud started, "what does Jake and George (Dierks' dogs) like to do with you?"
And then:
"So, Dierks, I was just wondering, does Evie like to watch PBS Kids?"
And for each question Bud raised, Dierks had an answer, and they bantered back and forth about all the topics that really matter - how great peanut butter sandwiches are (Bud's looked so good that Dierks made one for himself), what music was on Bud's iPod, and, of course, which country artists they liked. GAC was playing softly on the big-screen TV, and from time to time Bud would identify a face that popped onto the screen.
"Look, Dierks! It's Keith Anderson! Do you know Keith Anderson?"
"Oh yeah," Dierks replied, "he's great."
"Yeah! He's great!" Bud agreed happily. And so it went - Rodney Atkins, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney - Bud was thrilled to know that Dierks knew all the same guys he knew. Bud kept an eye on the TV even when other things had his primary focus, and every now and then he'd shriek "LOOK! It's YOU, Dierks Bentley!," and we'd all shift our gaze to see Dierks, larger than life, filling the TV screen.
After the peanut butter had been eaten and the country singers discussed, Bud thought of another question. "So, Dierks, I was just wondering," Bud asked casually, as though he had not seen several of them on the bus, "do you have a guitar?"
"Well, yes, I do," said Dierks. "Would you like to see it?"
"Oh, sure!" Bud said, with feigned surprise.
Dierks grabbed a guitar, sat down, and strummed.
"So, Dierks," Bud said, "I was just wondering - do you know a song, 'So So Long'?"
"Well, yes, I do!" said Dierks - which is not surprising, since he wrote it. And then he started playing it, while Bud shivered with excitement, and pounded his feet along with the music.
"Are you drumming, Bud?" I asked.
"No," he replied, incredulously. "I'm tap dancing!"
But of course.
And then, it was Total Request Live, as Bud shouted out songs and Dierks played them - "Settle for a Slowdown," "Sideways," "Wish It Would Break," "Midnight Radio" - even an encore of "So So Long." The hits just kept on coming.
Then Bud said, "How about 'I Wanna Make You Close You Eyes'?"
"Oh yeah!" Dierks said, "You mean the song I wrote for Evie?"
"Yeah!" Bud cheered.
"Wow, Bud, you were right!" I said.
"What?" Dierks said, off-handedly. "Did somebody guess that?" And then he launched into the song and, to Bud's complete delight, changed up the lyrics to make them unmistakeably about his baby girl. Bud even laughed out loud when Dierks got to the part about her leaving a trail of dirty diapers for him to follow.
When Dierks stood up to get something, Bud couldn't hold it in another moment. He stood up, too, threw his arms around Dierks and squealed "You're the BEST, Dierks Bentley!" (I have to say: I couldn't have agreed more.)
A short time later, we heard voices coming from the front of the bus, as the members of Dierks' band returned from their golf game. We all looked up as the first person walked on to the bus.
"Hey!" Bud shouted, "That's Tim Sargent! He plays steel guitar!"
Dierks and Tim both exploded with cheers for Bud's accurate ID, as the next band member joined us.
"There's Steve, Bud," Dierks said. "What does he play?"
"He plays drums!" Bud said, to more cheers.
But I knew that Dierks was setting the bar low. "Wait, Bud," I said. "Steve who?"
"Steve Misamore!" said Bud, spotting the guy on his heels. "And that's Robbie Harrington! He plays bass."
The guys were delighted, and though I knew there was one more band member yet to join us, I also knew he'd be the easiest one for Bud. He walked on to the bus, but instead of his trademark cowboy hat - the hat he always wears on stage - he was sporting a baseball cap.
Bud froze. He turned quickly to me, "Who's that, Mom?"
"Take another look, Bud," I said. "You know who that is. He's just wearing a different kind of hat today."
Bud looked again, then turned back to me more insistently, "Who IS it, Mom?"
I leaned over and said softly: "Well, he usually wears a cowboy hat, and he plays guitar."
"THAT'S ROD JANZEN!" Bud shrieked, and the rest of the bus cheered in response. Bud had officially won them over.
The guys made their way to the bunk area at the back of the bus, and Rod returned seconds later with his cowboy hat in hand. He plopped it on Bud's head and said, "Bud, I'll need this for the show tonight, but you can wear it until then." Then Cowboy Bud sat down next to Dierks for an impromptu guitar lesson.
Dierks suggested to Bud that they go back and check out the stage area, and Bud readily agreed. We left the bus, and the two of them fell into step together, chatting as they walked. I trailed a few feet behind, marvelling at how naturally they were interacting and at how quickly they'd become friends.
When we reached the stage, I saw that though some of the activity had died down, it was still very loud and fairly busy, and I realized I'd left our supply-filled backpack on the bus.
"Bud," I asked, "do you want your earplugs?"
"Yes, " he said quickly.
"Okay," I replied, not wanting to interrupt the easy groove we'd all fallen into. "You stay here with Dierks. I'll be right back."
I turned and dashed back toward the bus - and then realized what I'd just done.
Oh my GOD, I thought, horrified. I just made Dierks Bentley babysit!
I paused, and for a fraction of a second I thought about turning back and getting Bud, but since I was already halfway to the bus, I decided to just own my faux pas and apologize when I returned. I ran to the bus, grabbed Bud's earplugs, and hurried back to the stage as quickly as I could.
Bud and Dierks were not where I'd left them, though. I looked around, and saw them together in backstage area, comfortably checking out instruments amid the noise and confusion. I stuck Bud's earplugs in my pocket and went up to join them, as Dierks asked Bud if he'd like to try on his guitar.
As I hovered nearby doing the mom thing ("Be very careful with that, Bud! Gentle hands! Not too rough, buddy!"), Dierks casually walked Bud out to the front of the stage, where he stood, front and center, his hero's guitar slung around his neck, star of the day as he basked in the glow of the imaginary audience that filled the still-empty stands.
After Bud returned Dierks' guitar, the backstage tour continued as they checked out the inside of a huge equipment truck. As I watched Dierks and Bud together, I was struck by two things: 1) Dierks seemed totally at ease. Unlike many people who look to me for cues about how to respond to Bud, Dierks' responses to him were casual and natural, and 2) Bud seemed totally at ease. I realized that since we'd arrived, I hadn't heard any scripts from PBS shows or computer games. His responses to Dierks were casual and natural.
We headed back to the bus, where the guys waved me off when I tried to apologize for invading their home. Bud seemed to thrive in this guy-oriented haven. "Hey, Dierks," he said, when Jack Ingram's video for "Barefoot and Crazy" came on, "Look! It's Jack Ingram! This is a bikini video."
"Yeah?" Dierks asked.
"Yeah," Bud said. Then he added conspiratorially, "Bikinis are great." And the guy fun continued - Dierks showed Bud how to drive the bus, they compared muscles - I swear, if we'd stayed any longer I'm certain that there would have been a burping contest. In this instance, though, I was more than happy to fade into the background until I was summoned - "Hey! You gotta get a picture of this!" - to find that they'd climbed into bunks (Bud on the bottom and Dierks on the top) and were already smiling for the camera.
Moments later, the guys beckoned us back to the front, where the video for "Every Mile A Memory" was playing on GAC. The video is full of concert footage, and it was more than a little surreal to sit watching the band with the band - Tim on the big screen, Tim on the couch; Robbie on the big screen, Robbie in the aisle... Bud, for his part, was completely unfazed, but thrilled to see that his guys - because, by now, they had surely become his guys - seemed to like all the same things he did.
While Bud was hanging with Dierks and the guys, Chris found me and asked about the show, to find out what I was thinking now that we'd been there for a while: Did we want seats in the audience? Did we want to hang out behind the stage? I told Chris that I was still fairly sure that Bud wouldn't be able to manage the audience experience, and that I thought we'd just need to play it by ear. He told me that the passes we had would let us watch from anywhere, so we could do whatever seemed best at the time.
Then, it was time for Dierks to get ready for his scheduled Meet and Greet, so Chris took over as our official tour guide. He brought Bud and me to his own bus, where we got to meet some of the crew and saw a whole NEW set of bunks. We visited the Meet and Greet area. Bud climbed into the cab of one of Brad Paisley's trucks and chatted with the driver about NASCAR. (Bud doesn't know what NASCAR is, but he held his own well enough that I don't think the driver even realized that.) And THEN Chris brought Bud to Dierks' jeep, and Bud climbed in and sat in the very same seat that Dierks had in the "Free and Easy" video - the video that, for us, started this whole wild ride.
When it was time for Chris to go help manage the Meet and Greet, he ushered us into the trailer that housed his office, set up his laptop, and asked Bud about his favorite website. Bud told him it was PBS Kids, then sat down to show Chris how he could make Curious George juggle fruit - and, I'm telling you, Chris responded with so much enthusiasm that he had me convinced it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. Once we'd settled in and Chris confirmed that we were all set, he headed out to take care of business. Bud's anxiety flared once or twice, but he settled down when I assured him that he would see Dierks again.
Bud must have been processing the experience, because he was quiet for a moment, then turned to me and asked "Mom? I'm 'With the Band?,'" the meaning of the phrase clear to him for the first time.
"Yeah, Bud," I said, smiling. "You're 'With the Band.'"
Before long, darkness had fallen and Chris came back to collect us and bring us back to the bus, where the air was suddenly electric with pre-show energy. The guys were dressed in the clothes they'd wear on stage. Crew members zipped in with microphone cases and other important-looking things. I worried that we were in the way, but the guys were as relaxed as they'd been all afternoon. Dierks and Rod sat down with acoustic guitars as they all gathered at the front of the bus.
"Bud," Dierks said, "We thought we should practice a couple of songs before the show. Would you like to hear them?"
"Sure!" said Bud, sitting down on the couch in the middle of the room. And then, suddenly, the crisp acoustic opening notes of "Every Mile A Memory" filled the bus and I thought I might have forgotten how to breathe, as the guys launched into the most incredible version of the song I've ever heard. As they sang, Bud tap danced in his seat in time to the music. Nobody missed a beat.
As soon as the song ended, the guys launched into another -Bud's favorite - "Sideways." When it was over, there was commotion at the front of the bus as more equipment was loaded in and I thought for certain that it was time for the guys to take the stage.
"So, Bud," Dierks said, as he walked to the front of the bus to collect a large box that had just been delivered. "The guys and I were thinking that we wanted you to have something so you'd always remember this day."
Are you kidding? I thought to myself. This child will never forget a MOMENT of this day.
But Dierks continued. "So we wanted you to have something special, that was one of a kind - something that nobody else had."
"Okay," said Bud, who clearly had no idea where this could be headed.
Then Dierks opened the carton and lifted out a beautiful guitar designed with a Dierks Bentley Feel That Fire skin.
"Wow!" Bud and I said together.
"So, we were thinking," Dierks went on, "that we could all write our names on it for you. And then no one else would ever have one just like it. Would that be okay?"
"Sure," said Bud. Then Dierks handed him the guitar, and he held it like a real musician as each of the guys stooped down and added his autograph.
I thought I might swallow my tongue.
I tried to gush. I tried to say something. But this moment was not about me. This moment was about them - all of them. And it was a truly incredible moment.
And then, as soon as the last name was on the guitar, it was time for the show.
"So, Bud," Dierks said, "will you walk us out to the stage?"
"Sure," said Bud. And then he walked hand-in-hand with Dierks in the middle of the pack as the cheers from the audience grew closer.
When they reached the stage, Dierks said, "Okay, Bud. We always huddle to say a prayer and a cheer before we go on stage. Will you join us for it?"
And he did.
Then, one by one, each of the guys took the stage as the audience went wild, until only three of us were left backstage.
"Okay, Bud," Dierks said. "I just need your help with one more thing."
Then they climbed the stage stairs hand-in-hand and Dierks grabbed a microphone, leaned down and said to Bud, so that the whole audience could hear: "Does anybody want to get Sideways?"
Then the band started playing, and Dierks took the stage, and the audience went completely out of their minds.
Bud and I stood in stunned silence for seconds.
And then, as the show continued, Bud totally lost it. In fairness to Bud, I'll skip the details on that, but if you live with a child with autism, then you can probably fill in the blanks. It might have been the incredible volume, or that it was already long past bedtime, or that he had to share his new friend with an enormous crowd of people, or simply that he had held it together so beautifully for so long through so much that day, that now that we were alone and it was safe to let it out, the intensity of his emotions spilled over in the only way it knew how, and he melted.
Luckily, because we all had a hunch that this might happen, Dierks had told me to feel free to head back to the bus if we needed to, so that's exactly what we did. From the bus, we could still hear the show in the distance, but Bud had some privacy to let his emotions escalate and play out. By the time the band was starting their final song - "Free and Easy" - Bud was spent, but was even again. I suggested that we walk outside to hear the last song, so we listened to it from behind the stage as I started wondering how in the world I was going to get Bud to leave Dierks without prompting a repeat of the emotional meltdown we'd just experienced.
When the song ended, the guys left the stage and headed back to the bus, and Bud and I lingered outside as I tried to develop a game plan. I decided to try to stay as close to our regular bedtime routine as I could, and hope for the best.
"You know, Bud," I said, "it's really getting late. It's about time to put on your pajamas and head back home."
We went back to the bus, where the guys looked about as exhausted as we were, and told them it was almost time for us to leave. Bud and I headed to the back, where he changed into his pajamas, took his medicine, and called his dad. Then I packed his clothes in his backpack and looked up to speak to him - but he wasn't there. Robbie pointed me to the front of the bus, where I found Bud and Dierks side by side, both looking like they'd had a long day.
I told Bud it was time to go, and he said goodbye to the guys and packed up his gifts - which now included the drumsticks Steve had played with that night, a guitar pick from Rod, and a couple of t-shirts from Dierks. Dierks carried the prized guitar out to our car, loaded it into our trunk and then loaded Bud into the backseat, where his pillow and blanket were waiting.
"I had a great time, Bud," Dierks told him. "Thanks for coming to visit. We'll do it again next time we're here."
"Thanks, Dierks," Bud said. And that was that. We pulled out of the fairground, and Bud was asleep before we hit the highway.
When I got home, I found two new e-mails from Cassidy in my inbox. She'd sent the first one in the afternoon, twenty minutes before we were scheduled to meet. "I'm really hoping it goes well," she wrote, "but no matter what happens, I'm really glad you guys are trying it." And she'd sent the second after we left the fairground: "Just got the play-by-play... wanted you to know that my heart is so happy..."
The next day, Bud was in a daze, as though he couldn't quite believe that it had all actually happened. But in the days and weeks that followed, it became clear that the experience had been powerful for Bud. He moved with a new kind of confidence. In the early weeks, he'd often ask "Dierks is my friend?," but as time passed, so did his perspective, and now, almost daily, out of the blue, he makes a declarative statement: "Dierks is my friend."
It may seem like a small thing, until you realize that Bud has never really been interested in having a friend before. We refer to the other kids at school as his friends. They call him a friend. But he's never really been interested in having a friend. He's refused the idea of playdates and, when asked, he's named his friends as Mom, Dad, Nana, and Papa. Until now. Now he has Dierks. And Chris. And Rod, and Tim, and Robbie, and Steve. Now, he calls people friends. Now he knows how cool it is to have friends. And, my hunch is, now he is probably on track to want more of them.
I've thought a lot over the past weeks and months about the transformative power of friendship. I've thought about the kind of friendship that Dierks and Bud developed - the kind of camaraderie that's created when two strangers "click." I've thought about the kind of friendship I have with Cassidy - the same kind that I have with so many of you, who I know only through my computer screen, but to whom I feel connected at the heart. And I've thought about how those friendships affect us, anchor us, empower us, change us.
I've also been reminded about the power of kindness - about the power of doing something not because we must, but simply because we can - about how when that kind of kindness goes out into the universe, it doesn't just add up; it doesn't just multiply. It compounds exponentially. It transforms.
That's the story. It's astounding, right? I told you it would be. Thanks for sticking with it. Thanks for sticking with me. Thanks for sticking with us.
Now, please - go download some Dierks Bentley music.
And, really - I mean it. Believe me when I say this, and then go out and say it to somebody else:
Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do.

WhatsApp storms to lead in online-messaging race
Its chief executive claims it has more users than Twitter. It's rumored to have just rebuffed a $1 billion buyout offer from Google.
So what's up with WhatsApp? And how has a San Francisco startup that many Americans still have never heard of come to lead a fast-growing field of mobile messaging services that are shaking up the phone and Internet industries?
Easy, says Andreas Sanchez, a junior at San Francisco State who has used a number of such services. "I can text, I can send pictures, I can call, all through Wi-Fi," he said. "They make it fun for people my age -- and, I guess, any age."
The popularity of online messaging, especially among younger Internet users, has sparked a boom in apps -- such as WhatsApp, WeChat, TicToc and Tango -- that operate on a mix of advertising and subscription models. By sending messages over the Internet, often via Wi-Fi or mobile data networks, these services let users avoid paying the SMS text-messaging fees charged by telecommunications carriers like Verizon or AT&T.
And WhatsApp, by many measures, is at the head of the class.
The company was launched in 2009 by two former Yahoo executives who, unlike the founders of other recent sensations like Facebook and Pinterest, wouldn't be carded at the local bar. Jan Koum, 36, and Brian Acton, 40, remember not only the dot-com boom but how it went bust.
People who know both men say it's a big part of why they've tried to build the 40-worker company with a minimum of hype. In a rare interview, Koum and Acton told this newspaper via email that traditional text messaging is a 20-year-old technology. "We are in the middle of the smartphone revolution," they wrote, "and it is just beginning."
CEO Koum, at a New York conference this month, said the service has surpassed 200 million daily users who together send more than 20 billion messages a day.
Greg Woock, head of San Jose-based competitor Pinger, looks on such numbers with envy, considering his own startup carries as many messages in a month as WhatsApp claims to in a day.
But, Woock said, Koum has yet to figure out how best to turn that traffic into dollars.
"His business model is, you pay me once a year, 99 cents," Woock said of Koum, whom he considers a friend. But that's only true of iPhone users; WhatsApp is currently free for owners of Android phones, at least in most countries. "I'd argue," Woock said, "that the vast majority of his users will never pay."
Sanchez, the college student, illustrates the point.
During a recent trip to Barcelona, he downloaded WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends and family. But he quickly dropped it in favor of a competing service, Viber.
The reason? "They both do the exact same thing, but Viber's free," said Sanchez, who at home is a heavy user of Facebook Messenger and Apple's iChat. He says he only uses email to communicate with "my older relatives."
Pinger also is free but earns money by showing ads to customers. Woock said if Koum would use Pinger's advertising engine, "I could make him $1 million a day. With that kind of reach, that company's worth $5 billion."
Koum and Acton, though, say they're confident in their business model.
"Nothing comes free in this world," they wrote in their email. "Services that claim to be free collect user data and target ads or promote games." The founders say such "gimmicks" clutter the user experience.
Macquarie Securities, in a recent survey of WhatsApp users, found deep passion for the product. While popular features include group texting and the ability to send photos and videos, the greatest appeal is in avoiding texting and roaming charges, especially outside the United States.
Woock -- who said Pinger's user traffic actually outstrips WhatsApp's domestically -- noted that overseas is where the messaging battle is being fought most fiercely. "It's so expensive everywhere else in the world," he said of text messaging.
Despite its popularity, WhatsApp's record on privacy and security has come under fire. Earlier this year, Canadian and Dutch authorities accused the company of violating international privacy laws because it required users to upload their entire phone book contact lists -- whether or not those contacts use the app.
WhatsApp now allows customers to opt out of that requirement. Koum and Acton, via email, said they're "unusually protective of our user experience" and don't share user data with outside marketers.
Woock and others predict the market for mobile messaging ultimately could outstrip that of social networking, which is built on users' "graph" of connections.
"Let's call it 3 billion people in the world who use mobile," Woock said. "Mobile is the real graph -- that's who your friends really are -- and that's why Facebook and Google are so interested in this."

Could you give up Facebook for 99 days?
So you've tried Dry July, Ocsober and maybe you even give up sugary temptations through Lent.
But could you give up Facebook for 99 days?
"99 Days of Freedom" is a challenge set by Just, a Dutch creative agency, in direct response to Facebook's controversial mood experiment which was made public last month.
Facebook's experiment tested the theory that an individual's happiness could be affected by the content they see online.
"99 Days of Freedom" turns the experiment on its head and asks whether people would be happier without Facebook.
Just art director Merjin Straathof said the initiative was spawned from an office joke.
"As we discussed it internally, we noted an interesting tendency ... everyone had at least a 'complicated' relationship with Facebook. Whether it was being tagged in unflattering photos, getting into arguments with other users or simply regretting time lost through excessive use, there was a surprising degree of negative sentiment.
"Then someone joked, 'I guess that the real question is, 'How do you feel when you don't use Facebook?'," she said.
The non-profit initiative asks users to give up Facebook for a 99-day period, completing anonymous happiness surveys on days 33, 66 and 99.
Straathof said there was some debate about how long the experiment should be.
"If it's too extended, participants will lose interest. If it's too short, there's no meaningful behavioural change to assess. In the end, we landed on a 99-day, hoping that such interaction will serve as a support group of sorts," she said.
According to Facebook, the average user spends 17 minutes a day sharing, posting, liking and poking.
While giving away the social network may sound tough to some, the group says every participant will recieve something in return: more than 28 hours or 1683 minutes that would have been spent trawling the site.
"Our prediction is that the experiment will yield a lot of positive personal experiences and, 99 days from now, we'll know whether that theory has legs," said Straathof.

Bomb hoax leads to courthouse evacuation in Jackson
Hinds County sheriff says incident not related to bomb threats in Tennessee
Authorities gave the all clear Tuesday afternoon after a bomb threat led to the evacuation of the Hinds County Chancery Court building in Jackson.
Employees left the building on President Street before 2 p.m., while bomb squads searched the courthouse. Employees were allowed back inside the building shortly after 3 p.m.
The Hinds County Sheriff's Department had blocked off the streets around the area and Jackson fire trucks were parked at the building.
Capt. Joseph Daughtry of the Sheriff's Department said the bomb threat was phoned in Tuesday. He didn't provide additional details.
"Bomb threats by their nature must be taken seriously, and therefore the buildings are evacuated and searched," Daughtry said.
Similar incidents were reported in Tennessee on Tuesday. Authorities are investigating bomb threats that forced the evacuation of 24 courthouses across the state. No bombs were found at any of the locations, authorities said.
Hinds County Sheriff Tyrone Lewis said investigators had spoken to Homeland Security officials and don't believe the incident in Jackson is related to those in Tennessee.
A similar bomb threat hoax last week targeted 28 courthouses in Oregon.

It just got easier to make a profit by trading in an old iPhone—and still buy the latest model. Wal-Mart
Both stores are cutting prices on the iPhone, which costs $99 from Apple
Also see: The $10,000 gold iPhone case
Last month, CEO Tim Cook unveiled the seventh generation iPhone: The high-end iPhone 5S, which features fingerprint scanning technology and a glass screen similar to previous models, and the cheaper plastic iPhone 5C. The 5S costs $199 with a two-year wireless contract. It's now possible to sell an old iPhone 4S—which will eventually be phased out by Apple—and make a $150 profit by upgrading to the 5C; those who bought that model on its release will be coming to the end of their two-year contract this month. Of course, iPhone 5 holders who bought their phone last year still have one year left on their current contract.
Also read: How to get the iPhone 5 for free
Many Wall Street analysts were bemused that Apple's supposedly cheaper phone wasn't all that cheap. "We worry that Apple's inability/unwillingness to come out with a low-priced offering for emerging markets nearly ensures that the company will continue to be an overall share loser in the smartphone market until it chooses to address the low end," according to a note released by Sanford C. Bernstein shortly after the new iPhones were released last month. (A spokeswoman for Apple declined to comment.)
Despite these concerns about pricing and helped by the rollout of the new iOs7 operating system, Apple announced that it shipped 9 million iPhone 5S and 5C models in the first weekend alone—surprising some analysts given the relatively small upgrade. The figure was well more than the 5 to 6 million iPhone sales expected by Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. Many analysts, however, speculated that the 5c appears to be less popular than the 5S. Best Buy and, now, RadioShack and Wal-Mart are hoping to change that, says e-commerce consultant Bryan Eisenberg. The offers are not only targeting first-time Apple customers, he says, "They will drive sales of accessories in the stores."

This was extremely difficult to try and predict. For starters nobody has any idea what's going on with Kevin Thomas. He appeared to have suffered a season ending knee injury a few months ago, but is now on the active roster. He was recently seen at training camp in high spirits signing autographs and had no knee brace and wasn't limping or showing any favoritism to the injured leg. He has said he's still doing rehab and that it's getting better and better every day. Reports like that don't sound to me like somebody who will be missing the entire season. Actually, on the contrary, those are typically things you hear about somebody who is aiming to be ready to play by the regular season. I don't think that's the case with Thomas by any means but it certainly makes me optimistic enough to think that we could have him ready to go before the end of the year. Continue reading

The OpenWrt community is proud to announce the fourth service release of OpenWrt 19.07. It focuses on stability and device support.
The OpenWrt project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. It is a complete replacement for the vendor-supplied firmware of a wide range of wireless routers and non-network devices. See the Table of Hardware for supported devices. For more information about OpenWrt project organization, see the About OpenWrt pages.

Do you want to be informed about important changes such as new releases and security fixes?
We have a new mailing list for this, as well as RSS options: see Important changes and announcements.
Only the main changes are listed below. See changelog-19.07.4 for the full changelog.
Note: security fixes for packages can also be applied by upgrading only the affected packages on running devices, without the need for a full firmware upgrade. This can be done with
opkg update; opkg upgrade the_package_name or through the LuCI web interface.
Nevertheless, we encourage all users to upgrade their devices to OpenWrt 19.07.4 or later versions whenever possible.
/etc/init.d/network with broadcom-wl
See addressed_bugs for a complete list of bug fixes.
sysauth.htm template to customize authentication
ar71xx are not yet supported in
ath79: this is a community effort. Helping to port devices to
ath79 to make them available in future releases is very welcome.
luci-compat package to fix these
See also: active bug reports for openwrt-19.07
Upgrading from previous OpenWrt 19.07 versions is straightforward thanks to the
sysupgrade utility: sysupgrade from web interface or sysupgrade from command-line.
An upgrade from OpenWrt 18.06 to OpenWrt 19.07 is supported in many cases, including preserving configuration. A configuration backup is advised nonetheless when upgrading from OpenWrt 18.06.
With the 19.07 major release, the OpenWrt project brings all supported targets back to a
single common kernel version and further refines and broadens existing
device support. It also introduces a new
ath79 target and brings support for WPA3.
The 19.07 major release provides initial support for the new
ath79 target, the future device tree based successor of the popular
ar71xx target. For 19.07, both targets are still built, but it is recommended to switch to the
ath79 target whenever possible: future releases of OpenWrt will drop support for the
ar71xx target. See the ath79 technical reference for rationale about the transition.
To perform the upgrade, please follow the instructions from Upgrading from ar71xx to ath79. Functionality for a given device should be equivalent between the two targets: if this is not the case, please report the issue and revert back to ar71xx if needed.
The 19.07 major release brings initial support for WPA3. However, WPA3 is not enabled by default and requires installing specific packages: to run WPA3 as an access point,
hostapd-openssl is needed. For use as a Wi-Fi station, you need either
wpa-supplicant-openssl (station support only) or
wpad-openssl (AP + station). Due to their large size, these packages are not installed by default, and it is impossible to install them on devices with less than 8MB flash.
It should also be noted that many existing client devices will never support WPA3, and that there are client devices that support WPA2 but cannot connect to an AP configured with WPA2+WPA3 mixed mode. Please only file bugs if you are sure the problem is not client related.
To configure your device as a WPA3 access point, see wpa_modes
The LuCI ecosystem is large, and not all LuCI apps have been adapted to this change, which may result in crashes involving
cbi.lua. In that case, install the
luci-compat package.
If LuCI is loading slowly, consider installing
uhttpd-mod-ubus, close and reopen the browser tab to start a new LuCI session.
With this step, Lua usage in LuCI is reduced and LuCI effectively comes closer to the goals of the experimental LuCI2 without having to rewrite everything from scratch.

thank you for this exercice
Student or Learner
I think "Altough" is alright, because the comma always comes after the sentence when it is begun with Althoughm but when it is begun with "However", the comma comes after the" However" dirctly.
thank you for this exercice
it is easy in use ,but needs more understand
Although is normally followed by the first event.
First event: It was raining.
Second Event (contrasting event): He went to the beach.
Although it was raining, he went to the beach.
However is normally followed by the second event (contrasting event) after the first event has been mentioned. A comma is needed.
First event: It was raining.
Second Event (contrasting event): He went to the beach.
It was raining. However, he went to the beach.
Its also possible to use however in the end of the clause describing the second event:
It was raining. He went to the beach, however.
The answer is although but putting "however" in the same choice confuses everyone.
Last edited by Atchan; 20-Jul-2010 at 22:25.
I voted for (( although )) .
although---Subordinating Conjunction --at beginning of sentence--establishes the relationship between the dependent clause and the rest of the sentence.
However---conjunctive adverbs---after comma--used to create complex relationships between ideas.
All of these are correct.
1. Although it was expensive, she bought it.
2. The purse was frightfully expensive. She bought it, however, because she had no choice.
3. Though it was most attractive, in the end she couldn't buy it.
4. Although she bought it, in the end she returned it to the shop.
5. However many times she shopped there, she never bought a thing.
6. However expensive it may be, she fully intends to buy it.
7. Although he fully intended to pay for the merchandise, he forgot, and was promptly arrested.
I would not use " however" in this construction[ However expensive, they still bought it] because it is not the same as:
Although / Though expensive, they bought it. or
Yet, they bought it.
"However expensive, they still bought it" sounds a little bit odd to me. It might be correct but, as far as I`m concerned, I wouldn`t use it.
or better than those above:
In spite of the fact that it was expensive, they bought it. Our colleague tried to say that, however is usually followed by a comma whenever it is used as a conjunctive with the meaning " nevertheless, nonetheless, even so" etc. I agree with him.
You can use " however" as an adverb as you have already explained in your last sentence: However hard she tried... [ degree ]
However is usually used at the beginning of the second sentences,it refers unexpected result.
I was very tired,however I cleaned all the rooms by myself.
Or we use at the beginining of sentence with an adjective or an adverb.
However hard she studied,she couldn't get a high mark.
''Although ''is used for a situation with its contradictory result.
Although it rained a lot ,the farmers weren't satisfied with the crop.
