Everyone is well aware my past 6 weeks were horrible. School seems to be the only normal thing going for me. Losing my brother was hard but my son is proving to be a the hardest. Just when I believe I can handle it I start crying all over again.
My paper is coming along but I start thinking of new things to add so I need to stay focused. I try to refer to my notes I even tried the bubbling but I guess I am old school. Take care all I will update I have so much work to catch up on.
I think my research could be useful to parents of teenagers especially if they notice warning signs I have a lot of helpful information including coping skills which I find very helpful.

My academic challenges to this point is having to do 2 seperate essays and all the changes with APA formatting.
School has not only infuenced me but my adult children as well. My daughter is now taking Health Information. My life has really taken a turn for the better.

assignment.....
We cite our sources for a few different reasons. I would hope that we cite to give credit and to inform the reader who wishes to look up more information or to see other things from that author. Another reason is if there was misinformation whose fault it is.
I have actually had some people on flicker use some of my photography. I was not happy about it but I do watermark my work now.
I am not aware of any real world plagerism issues, although I am sure it happens. I would hope the person who actually wrote would prosecute though.
I don't think the internet blurs the line, it boldly crosses it everytime. This is the world we live in and you really can't catch everyone that does it. Somehow we just will need to see it as a form of flattery as long as it doesn't hurt someone or if it is really that bothersome than maybe a lawsuit may be needed.

Good Bye Brother Bill..............
William E. Long, Jr.
November 3, 1956 – July 23, 2010
William E. Long, Jr. (Bill) passed away unexpectedly at Waukesha Memorial Hospital on Friday, July 23, 2010.
He was born November 3, 1956, in Fullerton, California. Grew up in the Eagle area and Waukesha. He attended Eagleville Grade School and St. Theresa’s Grade School and graduated from Waukesha South High School in 1973.
He was a caring, loving father of Michael DePriest (Misti Wandschneider) of Wales, Larynn Ferree (Billy) of Waukesha, Karleen Garcia (Lorenzo) of Hartland and Corrine Long (Mario Sanchez) of Waukesha.
As the first born, he will be sincerely missed by his surviving mother, Arlene Phillips (the late Jack Phillips) of Pewaukee, formerly of Waukesha.
He was a great brother to Sharron Stolpa (Steve) of Waukesha, Karee Memmel (Scott) of Waukesha, Kimberly Parks (Gene) of Kenosha, David Long (Christine) of Waterford and Misty Thoma of Waukesha. He will always be remembered by his siblings, as their “Protector”. A mountain of a man, who seemed to always be there when they were growing up.
Bill adored his grandchildren, Ryloi DePriest, Tadashi Garcia, Taija Garcia and his unborn grandson, Haruki Garcia, due in September.
He is further survived by niece Sarresa Hrenak (Michael), niece and God-daughter, Shanna Hanusa (Jason) and nephew Tyler Thoma, all of Waukesha. Also, the mother of his children, Linda DePriest and many other family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his step-father, Jack Phillips and nephew Sean Bryan Phillips Thoma.
Even though Bill lived a pauper’s life, he was rich with family who loved him and who he loved as well. Bill was a prolific reader, always expanding his knowledge. He loved antiquing, finding treasures everywhere. He was a great artist as well, sharing his art work with family and friends.
Visitation will be held on Friday, July 30, 2010, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., with a brief “remembrance” service at 6:00 p.m., at Church and Chapel Funeral Home, 380 W. Bluemound Road (at Highways J and JJ, four blocks south of Interstate 94), in Waukesha. A private burial will take place on Saturday, July 30, 2010, at Jericho Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to the family would be appreciated.
Bill’s family would like to express our immense gratitude to the Doctor’s and Nurse’s in the Intensive Care Unit at Waukesha Memorial Hospital for the non-stop effort and care given to Bill to try and save his life. You are all “Angels on Earth”. Thank you all.

Final Project
I feel my thesis is a little choppy. I want my paper to go in the direction of how depression and suicide in teenagers can be helped with proper coping skills. I have worded and reworded several times. I know that domestic and psychological abuse is hard for teenagers to deal with but the wording is soimportant to get my message across.
A New Day
I am going to stay busy with homework. Being a weekend warrior is very helpful to keep my mind off everything. The teenagers are all out doing their thing so I am home alone and loving it. I am going to try to post some new pics....Thanks for reading, this is actually very relaxing to write down all the little things I just might keep this up after our class is over.....
