Because all journalists are human, and humans are all biased, there is no such thing as unbiased news reporting. The people at Fox News are just less clever at masking their biases than others.

Haha, upside down? Really?

A holiday that simply focuses on being thankful is hard to beat.

One way to prevent dryness in turkey is to cook it upside down. It might not look as picture-perfect, but it tastes great.

That is an excellent explanation for those of us who are not techno’s. My further couple of comments:

The site has been substantially upgraded, so now it will display up to ten of your posts – your headlines are crucial in attracting people to click on them.

The rotating posts don’t stay up long enough for people to decide if they want to click and have more time to read what is actually in there. You can’t leave a comment on something you haven’t had time to read! (anyway, you shouldn’t) AI – can you please look at this?

Once you have clicked on a displayed blog, there doesn’t seem to be any easy way to get back to AlphaInventions to resume browsing. AI – can you please look at this, too?

If your blog is on a networking site like NING.com, AlphaInventions cannot find it. So, you need to run a blog on WordPress (or something similar) and have links in your posts back to your other site – to bring visitors and readers to your site. AlphaInventions is a blog search engine, not a website search engine.

Frankly, I love it!

Wow he killed it. I can’t even explain it like that. I’ve made many improvements since this post. Come over.

Comment on Tatum EB Hope by Adriana Little

Tatum is so important to me, as I’m sure you know, and it means the world to me that you wrote about her on your blog. Anything you need help with to get more people involved in residence etc, let me know what I can do. Whether it’s writing out one of our many letters to give the council, or simply educating people. It’d be really cool to do something like that relay for life team and have an event for EB. HEY! There’s an idea…

Like Natalie said, the more awareness, the closer we are to finding a cure.

I can’t help but think how blessed I am that EB has touched my life in such a profound way. And I won’t stop spreading awareness until there is a cure so that Tatum (and all the other EB butterfly children) can enjoy long, happy, pain-free lives.

I’ve never met Tatum, but I love her already. She’s an inspiring little girl to smile confidently in every picture that I have seen. I had never heard of this disease before, and I’m glad I now know that it exists. I really do hope that the word goes out and others realize what kind of painful disease exists.
I am part of the Residence Council here at Laurier Brantford. And I hope I can get the crew together and create awareness of EB here – the more the better!

Thank You so much for creating such a wonderfully put together blog. Tatum and her wonderfully inspiring parents Natalie and Chris are our neighbors and we all love them very much, and Tatum has found a very special place in all of our hearts.

It is easy to see that hearing about her has inspired you to write about it. Our only wish that enough people hear about this disease and are as equally inspired to do something like this.

I know that the friend you mention is Adriana, someone who I am also grateful to call a friend, and someone who has spent many hours caring for Tatum and creating videos to spread the awareness as well as working alongside Natalie on the website and annual walks for EB.

Your wonderful words have inspired me all over again, and I am now in the process of sending word out to the local schools to gather more people and sponsorship for the walk for Tatum. If there are any interested people in the area that would like to come out and join us for the walk, please visit http://www.tatumebhope.org/ for the information and sponsor sheets.

Thank you again for your help in spreading awareness of E.B. and re-inspiring those of us who know this little Butterfly Angel in person.

Thank you so much for writing about EB in your blog! I hope that everyone who reads this will sahre it with at least one person. The more awareness that we spread, the closer my little girl will be to a cure. Sincerely, Natalie…EB Mom

Thank you for all your support! I’m trying to get involved this year and just had an interview for a position for my university’s newspaper – I hope I get the job!
