As a reward for being good kidazens, (a young good citizen), my kids play Sims, but our computer is SO old, by the time anything loads, their Sim people are practically senior citizens, and I feel so bad, I give them extra time on their turn, (they actually keep a book to read on the desk while they wait), to compensate for the slowness! My 13 yr. old daughter is incredibly creative, and tries hard with the tools we have-just check out a short clip of something she's worked on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS8cHmyRDeA<BR/>In August 2008 she cut all her hair off and donated it to Locks Of Love (she waited 3 years to grow it long enough), and I've been looking to surprise her with a special gift, but I can't afford much, we live in MI and hubby works in the auto industry...ouch!<BR/>And my 10 yr. old son who plays guitar, -he was so bummed last week, trying to produce his first<BR/>album, Da Wave...Tarts Aflame, so frustrated with our old pc...I can just imagine the jaw dropping, I can't believe it look on their faces, if I were so lucky as to win a prize such as this!!!<BR/>harmonden[at]wowway.compitaharmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709320176478536725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-35093685496341592692008-12-05T10:00:00.000-08:002008-12-05T10:00:00.000-08:00I apologize for the oversight that you said 3 sent...I apologize for the oversight that you said 3 sentences showing who we'd donate to, therefore I am summing up the post above.<BR/><BR/>I would donate a computer to United States Army Garrison Schweinfurt SFAC who serves Wounded Warriors since they can greatly use a computer to begin a mobile laptop program for these deserving soldiers. The other recipients would be the Ronald McDonald House, Military Family Life Consulatants and Medical Park Rehabilitation HOspital which serves patients who have Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis and stoke patients. I have been in this facility and I would keep the touchscreen computer as I have an impairment to where this computer would be great plus I have no computer and since I believe in sharing and giving so if I found another cause to donate to, they would receive mine.

Whi...I strongly believein both sharing and giving. While ther are numerous causes and organisations to donate to most of them receive great publicity and government and public funding, therefore, I choose to donate to those who serve a great number of individuals yet receive little or no funding and I hopoe my donation wil enable them to serve even more in order to continue to improve the quality of life of those they serve. <BR/><BR/>1. HP Pavilion dv4 series Entertainment Notebook PC <BR/>USAG Schweinfurt SFASC (soldier family assistance center)<BR/>SFAC is a very important group as they sever the needs of military families and wounded warrior. I would donate this computer to be used as a mobile computer which could be checked out by wounded warriors. During recovery, it is very important that wounded warriors keep in touch with family. Calling family from overzseas is quite expensive and only leads to financial stress for these soldiers. This would enable them to keep intouch with no additional expenses. Additionally, some of these soldiers who were previoiusly enrolled in online college courses can continue their classwork without fear of being dropped or failing. For those with more serious conditions or those suffering from PTSD, this would allow them to look up information concerning their conditions. While there are computers on post, the computers are not in abundance to serve the size of the post. <BR/>2.HP HDX 18 series Premium Notebook PC <BR/>USAG Schweinfurt MFLC (Military Family Life Consultants)<BR/>MFLC are counselors, social workers and psychiatrists who make a commitment and leave their families and practices for a few months in order to serve the emotional and mental needs of military families and soldiers. Due to the stigma of getting help from mental health services, MFLC plays a vital role in insuring the mental and emotional health of those they serve. MFLC needs access to a computer in order to file their reports, however, since they are contractors they have to wait on public computers like everyone else. Having access to a computer to file reports would make their job a lot easier and they would be able to take the computer into the field in order to help clients see resources online available to them. <BR/>3.HP Mini 1000 <BR/>Medical Park Rehabilitation Hospital, Bad Rodach, Germany. <BR/>This Hospital serves as a rehabilitation hospital for those with neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, and stroke victims. The hospital provides one desktop computer for public usage where there are consistantly over 300 patients. The computer they now have is an older computer from the 90's and does not run nearly as fast as the newer models do today. This hospital has patients from all over world and I was a patient there myself for over 4 weeks, being the first American and first U.S. Military dependant to be admitted to this facility. This hospital provides state of the art care with every patient having his or her own team of doctors and specialists. <BR/>4. HP TouchSmart IQ816 AIO Desktop PC <BR/>This computer I would keep for myself as I currently do not have a computer. I have Multiple Sclerosis which has left some impearment and a touch screen computer would be very beneficial for me as I currentl have online classes, do a little free lance work and try to stay on top with current events. I have now gotten to where I can not go to the library every day for computer access. Having a good computer at home would enable me to be more productive in doing those things.<BR/>5. HP MediaSmart Connect digital media receiver <BR/>HP Photosmart C6380 Wireless AIO multifunction <BR/>HP 564 Photo Value Pak <BR/>Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate and Home Premium preinstalled <BR/>Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition <BR/>Microsoft Windows Live <BR/>Corel VideoStudio X2<BR/>Kung Fu Panda (DVD & Blu-ray) <BR/>Ronald McDonald House, Temple, Texas. <BR/>For obvious reasons, the Ronald McDonald House can benefit from these items. Administrative staff would have updated software to better serve their clients that walk thru their doors. Children and families of all ages need to be able to enjoy movies that take their minds off of the unpleasantries of life, such as illness and disease that their loved ones are dealing with. They would greatly enjoy Kung Fu Panda. All of these items would benefit this Ronald McDonald House greatly.Kaydencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718725071797967793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-32749479160233475452008-12-05T08:13:00.000-08:002008-12-05T08:13:00.000-08:00I would love to win this HP Magic giveaway.

The HP giveawa...Greetings, Magical Internet Fairy! The HP giveaways are too good to be believed, and I would be thrilled to receive one computer, much less four! Well, I need to earn my entry, so here goes: Being a fellow poetry aficianado, your inclusion of poetry vastly appeals to me- especially for that which I'm not well-versed in i.e. Latin American translations, particularly Maria Eugenia Vaz Ferreira's "Vaso Furtivo," or, "A Quick Drink." It's light and moving, and does what it says in capturing the nature of a quick drink! Aptly titled, yes? Thank you for the English translation and introducing me to her poetry. Additonally, I am really tickled by the February 22nd post re: Google VP Marissa Mayer, entitled, "Annoyingly Sexist Framing of Google VP Marissa Mayer." I need a sound bite (a la Lewis Black of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) of you shouting the two lines that sum up the article so perfectly, "What the hell do you expect? Who is 'you'?" Not many female so-called geeks fit a prescribed mold. We need to toss the whole Velma (you know, Scooby Doo) persona from the collective stockpile of stereotypes. We girl nerds are so atypical, no two are alike. And I doubt we are as few and far between the way dinosaur socialite glossies like to perpetuate- seeing's how the mere use of an iphone or mp3 automatically elevates users into the geek realm, that's probably three quarters of the world's population right there! Sadly, Ms. Mayer's comparison to Grace Kelly, yeah, that whole BLONDE thing (sigh! maybe in my next lifetime!) is a novelty in and of itself, much less the female thing, much less the role of VP of a huge tech company. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Perhaps with this prize package I will start a business I have been longing to do while I am still relatively young and unencumbered by bigger obligations like raising a family. While not as technically ambitious as the Google VP, I would still want to emulate her and become an entrepreneuress myself. Sitting on the back burner for a while but maybe now the time is ripe for me to recruit potential business partners to open up an online rare/collectible book shop. Unlike superficial qualities such as throaty laughs and blonde hair, I find the intelligence of a bibliophile (esp. poetry!) to be a far more unique trait. You hit the nail on the head though: I DO have the unkempt hair thing going on. :D (Think pianist Yvgeny Kissin, but the girl version.) For this reason, I highly doubt I would ever be profiled in an glossy citywide publication (over here in Chicago, it's called "Michigan Avenue" :) hee hee <BR/><BR/>So! I hope you made it through my little essay Ms. Fairy :) Thanks so much for the entry!<BR/><BR/>c81280 at hotmail dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-67865656022617462592008-12-04T20:17:00.000-08:002008-12-04T20:17:00.000-08:00When it comes to Sharing the Magic, there's one ch...When it comes to Sharing the Magic, there's one charity that I've been supporting for the past two years in Greensboro, NC called Mary's House (link below). Mary's House aims to help female former convicts through rehab and education, but my favorite part of their mission is that they allow these women to live with their children, instead of forcing them to seperate. It's an amazing project, and they can use anything they can get in terms of donation.<BR/><BR/>I hope that these computers can go to Mary's House with perhaps some sweet educational software - maybe one for the kids, and one for the adult learners, to help them get used to using this technology on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>Here's a link to Mary's House:<BR/>http://www.onlinegreensboro.com/~maryshouse/<BR/><BR/>Here's a link to the closest thing to my blog:<BR/>http://www.dailykos.com/user/Black%20Leather%20Rain<BR/><BR/>Thanks!!!<BR/><BR/>blackleatherrain AT yahoo.com<BR/>or<BR/>lauraconners AT earthlink.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-90081281780148935372008-12-04T18:32:00.000-08:002008-12-04T18:32:00.000-08:00Sorry...happy fingers. shirahjoy1 at hotmail dot c...Sorry...happy fingers. shirahjoy1 at hotmail dot comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614399794783247975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-75183905753684907602008-12-04T18:31:00.000-08:002008-12-04T18:31:00.000-08:00Commented on "Liberation".I would likely keep one ...Commented on "Liberation".<BR/><BR/>I would likely keep one or two things but for the most part, I’d be sharing the love with:<BR/><BR/>1) Dear friend - student (Special Education), Mom of 3 boys (2 autistic), struggling family, hand me down PC (with many issues) wonderful, loving, caring person who puts everyone else before herself. <BR/><BR/>2) There is a local not-for-profit organization that works with at risk kids that could put this to GREAT use. <BR/><BR/>shriahjoy1 at hotmail dot com<BR/><BR/>Great blog, interesting thought processes, glad I found you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614399794783247975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-58714109246542579482008-12-04T16:03:00.000-08:002008-12-04T16:03:00.000-08:00I commented on your post "Biographies for Children...I commented on your post "Biographies for Children" here:<BR/>http://liz-henry.blogspot.com/2006/10/biographies-for-children.html<BR/><BR/>I teach fourth grade and love to introduce my class to poetry and poetry writing that is modeled after some of the great poems.

Having HP computers will be a helpful boost to jumpstart my advocacy in promoting note-worthy projects of organizations such as the Virlanie Foundation (http://www.virlanie.org/), which aims to shelter street children in Manila. I will also donate the extra computers to them, providing them with valuable tools in communicating with donors all over the world. Overall, the HP package will put to good use, supporting not just my noble cause but others' as well.Pinoy Contestshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029352086436249415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-18808007853009234542008-12-04T01:31:00.000-08:002008-12-04T01:31:00.000-08:00I SURE ENOUGH CA USE THIEI SURE ENOUGH CA USE THIEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-24284565626973281902008-12-04T00:10:00.000-08:002008-12-04T00:10:00.000-08:00There really isn't a good reason why I should dese...There really isn't a good reason why I should deserve to win all this technology candy. I don't have any sob story to wretch out your heart strings but I do have me, so here it is. I am a stay-at-home mom from Calgary Alberta. I have three great kids. My oldest son and daughter are 6 year old twins. My youngest son is two and is quite the character. My husband works two jobs to support our family and is a fantastic husband and father. He is an immigrant to Canada and most of his family is over seas. If I won this give away I would send a computer over to the Philippines. Giving them a computer or two would open up a new way of communicating with them. With the other computers I would have one set up for the twins cause let me tell you, hearing them fight over Webkinz, Barbie.com, and Hotwheels.com is enough to drive any mother up the wall. I would also donate a computer to my Dad's company. It's a humble janitorial company and it has helped us when we have needed to make a little more money without us having to put our kids in daycare. The company computer just crashed so I know that a new computer would be a great asset.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034010111497777011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-70207641699164838112008-12-03T16:52:00.000-08:002008-12-03T16:52:00.000-08:00I would love this!I would love this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
