Right now there is a $10,000 law school blogger scholarship competition going on and Kim has been nominated.

Grant Brisbee’s McCovey Chronicles is much more than just a blog. So many of us have McCovey Chronicles bookmarked as our first destination on the internet, and it is much more than a place simply to read the musings of the author. Grant has created a community, a discussion forum, a virtual cafe meetingplace, and we thank him for it.
Paul Stamatiou deserves to win. Besides the academic talent, he has a \”worldly cultural flair\” and has talent that extends beyond the academic world. It is young men like him who should be rewarded!

Grant Bisbee is an amazing blogger. Keeps SF Giants fans from around the world in touch. Always fresh, always humorous. Props to all the nominated bloggers on this list, but I\’m biased- Go Grant!
Being a mom, going to law school or winning the fight with brest cancer are all full time jobs, while you are doing all three. I vote for Kimberley Klein! Good luck!
Grant Brisbee\’s McCovey Chronicles is a must read- si.com bloggers regularly mentions his hilarious postings. also, i think i once saw him run into a burning orphanage and save a group of small children and puppies.
[…] While I doubt most sites are picking favourites, I am not like most sites, and I say, Vote Paul! It only takes a second, and I am sure it will mean a lot to him. Bookmark: If you enjoyed this article, please Subscribe via RSS and don\’t forget to Monetize Your Site (aff link) Related Posts […]
I think that paul should be the wiiner on this one. His writing still is great and with even more knowledge pumped into him thanks to the schorship his writing will even take off to a higher level.
As someone who has benefited so often from her untiring efforts and unbelievable work ethic, I wholeheartedly endorse and vote for Amanda Kern. Besides all of the individual posts (which admittedly have slowed down considerably as she\’s getting ready to deliver her second baby ANY day now!)- take a look at the the VCC Flickr set- she\’s maintained and posted them all.
Did I mention she teaches full time in addition to attending school, blogging, and being a wife and mother? Wait a minute, is Wonder Woman eligible for this? ;o)
[…] ei bine asta inseamna perfomanta in blogging. uite aici o lista cu oameni care merita urmariti. eu l-am votat pe Paul Stamatiou. Il citesc de citeva luni bune si a demonstrat ca stie sa scrie bine. […]
Matt Burden has done so much to help educate the masses about the military, to help memorialize those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and who are \”Fallen but Never Forgotten\”, to help bring attention to \”Someone You Should Know\” and support the overall war effort abroad and here at home through his military blog Blackfive. I hope that all his readers can help him out and help him win a scholarship. He is very deserving of it.
@Kevin Lim – no, it\’s not shut off. You\’re probably running into the one-vote-per-IP rule in the poll. Are your friends all accessing the internet from the same router or some shared internet setup (a dorm might do it).
Thomas Peters\’ up to date and comprehensive Papist blog would make any Pope proud. A perfect mix of humour and insight have made it a required daily read. Keep up the good work.

Wife advice is extremely well written and hillarious. Maybe not much on graphics and all, but clearly the best content. I wonder how long the marriage will last.
I voted for Grant Brisbee more because I like him than because of his writing. But actually, if this vote were based on merit, I\’d still vote for Grant, as he writes a VERY GOOD blog.
Vote for Shelley Batts! She\’s studying a cure for deafness and will contribute great things to science and medicine one day. When you are old and lose your hearing, you might be glad you helped her out! 🙂

The VCC graphics blog is the best thing that ever happened to the graphics program at Valencia. This is the central point of communication for students and alumni to stay up-to-date on what\’s going on with the program and to see the awesome work that Valencia students have created over the years. Amanda has worked tirelessly to keep the blog fresh, current and fun. Way to go Amanda!
[…] Meanwhile, Shelley is one of 20 blogs in the running for a $10,000 blogging scholarship. She has assured me that she won’t spend it all on mimosas (which, after her performance at the Scibling shindig, was a slight concern), so if you, like me, are a fan of her rather nifty neuroscience blog, go and vote for her. If you’re not a fan, go and read it, become one, and then go and vote for her. […]

Kimberly Klein – Leslee says you are the best – Hang in there we are voting for your health, your success in law school, and in winning this contest to help with medical bills. Wyoming family, friends and coworkers are pulling for you.

I would ask that you all at least look at Matthew Burden. Matt is not only a great blogger, but also one of my American Heroes! You don’t have to believe in the war to believe in soldiers and especially those who are at the tip of the spear putting themselves in harm’s way and Matt not only talks the talk, but he’s walked the walk and is someone that keeps our American soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coasties at the forefront of people’s minds no matter what you think of the President, Congress or the war — these kids didn’t ask to get sent over, they just said “yes sir”, saluted smartly and went to protect those of us that stayed behind. Matt is a good blogger, a good student, a good soldier, a good husband and I would appreciate you giving him a chance — when was the last time you knew a soldier that had $10,000 laying around to finish school with?
I’m a MIT student and I voted for JKim, but I really do feel that Kimberly Klein needs the money more than a college student that is already doing pretty fine in school.
So good luck Kimberly! You really do inspire me, after reading your blog.
She is a mother of three, a 2nd year law student, and is fighting breast cancer. She is a truly remarkable woman who deserves to be accredited for her honesty, devotion, and insight.
Shelly Batts has beautiful potential as a laughing philosopher, someone who can lead the public to a proper appreciation of what must be done to save the future. Give her a boost!
I vote for Shelley Blatt, being a neuroscience fan and Dermatologist(and being married to a neurologist as well)- well the ectoderm realyy gets me. She’s just what we need to bring a breath of fresh air to the neurosciences. Good Luck Shelly!
I support Kimberly, as I have also faced breast cancer, surgeries, radiation, chemo, etc., and know how tough it is on family, career and budget. Cheers and the very best of life to you! Laurie
Grant Brisbee’s McCovey Chronicles is the best-written site I’ve ever seen on the web. His mix of insight, humor, and pathos (particularly this past summer) has created an online community, and continues to brighten the day for hundreds of loyal readers. Despite working and going to school, he finds time to inform and entertain each day. A vote for Grant Brisbee is a vote for truth, justice, and the American way*, and guarantees that the terrorists haven’t won.
*void where prohibited. Your results may vary; consult your physician.
I voted for Kim Klein. Her sister is a business associate of mine. My vote was also in honor of my younger sister who has also battled breast cancer while raising a young family and holding down a full time job. Go Kim! The prayers of Molly’s contingent in Texas are with you.
Please keep the comments friendly. If you don’t want to vote for a blogger, there’s no need to post hateful comments on her blog. Kim is a sweet lady who’s going through a lot and she doesn’t need that negative energy right now.
I’M VOTING FOR KIM BECAUSE I HAVE A SISER THAT WENT THRU B/C AND SURVIVED! GOOD LUCK WITH THE CONTEST AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND HEAL YOU!!!!! BY DORI EDEN(MICHELE’S AUNT)
Now i know that I should’ve voted for Anders Ibsen. He is probably the only person who actually didn’t ask all his friends to vote for him. That’s why he is way behind. All his votes are real.
Vote for my son, Shane Lavalette! He has a fantastic blog and is an inspiring photographer. Shane is trying win the $10,000 scholarship to help him pay off a small portion of his immense college debt. I know I’m his Mom, but I say vote for Shane, he is a great kid and really deserves it! Nobody should have to get out of college with as much debt to pay as he will. Thanks so much for your support.
Matthew Burden – I can’t imagine a more deserving blogger. His phenomenal ability to research a story or touch lives is inspirational. He has taught me so much through his blog. I vote for Matthew Burden of Black Five!
Kevin Lim gets my vote cos he lives and breathes new media (not too many guys out there who walk about with a backpack full of gadgets recording and life-casting all his experiences and encounters!)
Kim, I admire your ability to look at the up side & continue to go on with life & enjoy your blessings. I also admire you for your approach to what you want to do with your law degree. Wish I could help you with your financial needs other than vote for you to receive the scholarship. Have a blessed day, every day.
I voted for the blog that was best-written, most poignant, and funny. And I never dreamed I would describe a blog about cancer as funny! Kim Klein is truly amazing – commuting 50 miles a day to go to school, raising 3 kids, excelling in law school, and, oh yeah, battling cancer with an amazing attitude. This blog is not just for breast cancer patients, law students, or women. Kim’s inspiring story can touch anyone who reads it. $10,000 is just a small drop in the bucket of what she is going to need, considering her and her children’s educations that she needs to pay for, let alone her medical expenses. And, according to her blog, she wants to be a public interest lawyer, which is not going to do much to help with those debts. I am an attorney at a large law firm and I would have trouble paying for all that; I can’t imagine if I only made one-fourth of my salary, as public interest lawyers do. Best of luck to you, Kim.

Dear Anon: We finalists were instructed to tell all of our friends, family, blog readers, and fellow bloggers to vote for us in the email we received telling us that we were finalists. If a certain finalist choses not to do that, that’s fine – but it shouldn’t be considered a knock against the rest of us who are simply playing by the rules of the competition.
I am so happy to vote for Paul. I know how much time he has put into helping people who want to learn. He has certainly given me reason to appreciate his efforts.
Go Kim…I have known Kim for several years and have often admired her positive attitude and her “all out” effort that she puts forth. It did not matter if the task was big or small, she always gave it her all as if this were the most important thing in her life at that moment. Even now with breast cancer knocking at her door, she has opened that door and decided to again give it her all. She has allowed many people to view her journey through cancer on her blog. This I find to be very selfless and admirable. Her blog is a valuable resource for many people who may be going through cancer, know someone who has cancer or for someone like myself who had no idea has much was really involved in treating cancer. This blog has opened my eyes to a whole new thinking about how people live through and deal with a cancer diagnosis. So before you go thinking this is a popularity contest, visit Kim’s blog and learn something. I know you will be surprised and impressed! Open your heart to help Kim like she has helped so many people so many times! She is one in a million!
Shelley Batts has a powerful and compelling piece that is thought provoking as well as profoundly beautiful. She has not only earned this with talent, but obviously hard work as well. Excellence speaks volumes!
Please note that a blogger at Free Dominion is asking members to freep/vote for a Thomas Peters blog. Totally unethical and quite frankly a case of stupidity on the part of this Free Dominion website.
Please do note what is going on with this Thomas Peters blog.
I’d just like to submit that this is a silly way to pick the winner of a ten thousand dollar scholarship. Popularity is not a mark of quality, and web polls are an acceptable measure of neither. Some light-duty investigation has revealed that open proxies have been used to vote, and even putting this aside, you can be sure that the bloggers are likely to try and rope people into voting here who haven’t read the blogs. This ‘competition’ has about as much integrity as the stereotypical high school student body president election. Disappointing.
I have to agree – this is a terrible way to award a scholarship. Does the committee awarding this honestly not care that they have chosen a method that is prone to cheating and dishonesty? Do they also not care that such cheating has already occurred?
It bothers and upsets me the way this scholarship is being handled.
[…] You can vote for her to get a scholarship HEREÂ addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Floscuatroojos.com%2F2007%2F10%2F15%2Fhow-much-lsd-does-it-take-to-kill-an-elephant%2F’; addthis_title = ‘How+Much+LSD+Does+It+Take+to+Kill+an+Elephant%3F’; addthis_pub = ”; […]
As a mom, nurse and law student I loved your idea to make a mom-law student blog…and as the daughter of a Nancy Chapman…undergoing chemo for Triple Negative Breast Ca…well, you go girl and you are in our prayers.
Lisa Rochelle, Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis
I agree .. this is a terrible way to award a scholarship, especially because this entire competition is rife with cheating. I mean, seriously, is this the way that we want to reward serious scholarship, by giving money to the best cheater? On the other hand, this is no different than what is happening in this country, so I guess that makes cheating alright then.
I’m voting for Kimberley Klein simply because her blog touched my heart. I actually found her blog by clicking on the link of a friend’s website that has also been battling cancer. I’ve been reading it for a while now, but did check out the other links here too.
My choice was for Kim Klein. At some time in everybody’s life we are touched by situations like she is experiencing right now. There is no amount of medicen that can ease the sole or spirit. Kim’s thoughts are the perfect presription for someone that is dealing with what she is going through. I prescribe a vote for Kim Klein!
I don’t understand what cheating people think is going on.
Some people have been confused about whether this comment section is where you vote. It is not. You will see the place to vote on your screen pretty clearly. If you do not see it, it means someone else has already voted from your IP address (e.g. if you are voting from your office and someone else at your office has already voted, you cannot also vote).
I also was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am a 63 year old widow with a wonderful, supportive significant other and three beautiful grandchildren in my life. I will be starting radiation soon, and I can only be positive and happy. My cancer was detected early with a mammogram. I urge everyone to have a mammogram once a year.
Kim, you sound like an outstanding person. May God bless you and watch over you as you try to get through this particular time in your life.
As I understand it, the voting system here allows one vote per IP address. This would be fine if there was anything approaching a 1:1 correspondence between people and IP addresses controlled by them. This is not the case.
Some people, like in the office situation to which you referred, share a single IP address, while others have multiple IP addresses available to them. Each of the computer lab machines at my university have different IP addresses. Given that I can log into any of them, if so inclined, I could vote several times. Additionally, there is the problem of open proxies– these are computers which, knowingly or unknowingly, allow others to access the internet using their IP address and thus would allow someone with a list of such proxies to vote multiple times.
There is enormous potential for abuse of this voting system, which is why I argue that it should not be used to decide the winner of a $10,000 scholarship.
I voted for KIm as well. A blog which I regularly visit had posted her site as a link- but I feel like all that have bashed the system of voting, or the corruption- need to understand that I, for one, did go through and read ALL the pther blogs before voting. I was torn, a bit between Kim & Matt (being that my husband is an active duty marine I feel his blog is also very good.) but they are all good if not excellent blogs. I just felt like Kim was the most deserving of them all, her ability to talk about cancer in a real sort of way speaks to my heart, and after praying about who to vote for, I felt it was her. blessings to ALL the contestants!
My 3 year old son, Riley was born with trisomy 21, Down syndrome. Thomas Peters’ tribute to his son, Eliot moved me to tears. How wonderfully inspiring that Eliot’s parents so exuberantly celebrated his short life and so clearly recognized God’s grace in their son. I feel privileged to have shared in some small way in the celebration of Eliot’s life.
Great collection of blogs. Quite sad what LawMom has faced; however my vote goes to someone working to cure human disease rather than afflicted with it. The former is much more rare and valuable than the latter. Good work Shelley.
Thank you for continuing to shine in the lives of so many who want to pursue their dreams. Your bright, encouraging spirit is contagious and I pray that others will find that light through you. Blessings to you and your family as you “go to the mattress” with this fight. Remember you have an Angel in your corner praying for you. I love you all.
I am from Roma Italy and i’ve come to know inju aka kevin lim on flickr. now i found his blog and i think it’s amazing and interesting. INJU keep up the good work, we in rome are voting for you!
Kim — We have followed your struggle and treatment story with your parents, and continue to send our prayers and best wishes your way. Your dedication to your family, faith and career through the most difficult of circumstances, would be a test to all of us, but your perseverence is amazing. We wish you all the best that life has to offer.
[…] 6. How do you intend to use the $10k scholarship if you win? It’s a financial challenge just being a student, but I manage to get by with the support of my parents and an assistantship at the ETC. If I win this US$10k scholarship, I’m proposing to let the collective public decide on the wisest way to use it, by taking suggestions on my blog and picking the best ones to execute. […]
[…] This is clearly an instance where the DuPont slogan rip-off “Better living through chemistry” applies. And while you are there reading about this cool drug twist (no pun intended), be sure to vote for Shelley as your favorite science blog writer. […]
Kim – From someone who’s known you many years, you’re a genuinely beautiful, kind, and courageous person…. an inspiration to us all! You so totally deserve to win this! I really admire you! All the best! Laur
[…] 4 days left in the blogging scholarship competition, and it looks like I don’t have a prayer. It doesn’t really bother me- as they say, it’s an honor just to be chosen, and hey, I’m in the top half. Make that #10- vote if you haven’t ‘cuz I’d like to finish in the top half. Thanks to Jenny at the Shifted Librarian, John at johnmiedema.com (now at slowreading.net), Lynn at Hypothetically Speaking, and Diane at Library Cloud for mentioning me in their blogs. Sorry if I missed anyone! […]
[…] How many times have we been reminded not to judge a book by it’s cover? Well, in my experience, quiete a few- it’s just one of those phrases that seems to apply to everything. However, when looking at various blogs belonging to those in the running for a $10 000 scholarship, I can’t help but judge their blog partly on appearance. You know that blog you click on and it’s filled with large blockquotes and crowded paragraphs, and it’s just a mess to read… it’s not very nice to read and you never really get through the whole post do you? […]
I voted for Thomas Peters simply because he is broad in his topics as well as articulate in his articles that need clarifying. Would like to see more coverage of the Bishop’s conference when two orthodox and very articulate Bishops were not elected by their peers. Seems like a combination of jealousy and anti conservative bias in the vote. No wonder this conference is not very well respected by the faithful who see a liberal bias in the results. The Holy Spirit has HIS work cut out in trying to get this group on the same page as Pope Benedict XVI.
[…] I hate to solicit things on this blog but I’ve been selected as a top 20 finalist for the $10k blogging scholarship I wrote about a while ago. If you’ve got the time to spare, I’d really appreciate your vote. Compared to last year where there were only 10 finalists, there seems to be considerably more competition this year. As I’ve mentioned in the past, out-of-state Georgia Tech tuition isn’t cheap, especially when I’m going to be here for an extra semester or two from changing majors. […]

Paul Stamatiou deserves to win. Besides the academic talent, he has a \”worldly cultural flair\” and has talent that extends beyond the academic world. It is young men like him who should be rewarded!

October 8th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
Grant Brisbee\’s McCovey Chronicles is a must read- si.com bloggers regularly mentions his hilarious postings. also, i think i once saw him run into a burning orphanage and save a group of small children and puppies.

I think that paul should be the wiiner on this one. His writing still is great and with even more knowledge pumped into him thanks to the schorship his writing will even take off to a higher level.
October 8th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
As someone who has benefited so often from her untiring efforts and unbelievable work ethic, I wholeheartedly endorse and vote for Amanda Kern. Besides all of the individual posts (which admittedly have slowed down considerably as she\’s getting ready to deliver her second baby ANY day now!)- take a look at the the VCC Flickr set- she\’s maintained and posted them all.
Did I mention she teaches full time in addition to attending school, blogging, and being a wife and mother? Wait a minute, is Wonder Woman eligible for this? ;o)
Thanks Amanda for a fantastic blog!

October 8th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
Matt Burden has done so much to help educate the masses about the military, to help memorialize those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and who are \”Fallen but Never Forgotten\”, to help bring attention to \”Someone You Should Know\” and support the overall war effort abroad and here at home through his military blog Blackfive. I hope that all his readers can help him out and help him win a scholarship. He is very deserving of it.
October 8th, 2007 at 11:00 pm
Hope you win Jess. Forever Connected.
Best, Tyler

Het aanbod van webloggende studenten die in aanmerking wilden komen voor de studiebeurs van $ 10.000,- was gewoonweg te groot. Iedereen wilde wel op zo’n manier aan zijn studiebeurs komen. Een maand geleden werden Amerikaanse studenten met een weblog opgeroepen zich aan te melden. Één persoon zou in aanmerking komen voor die studiebeurs. Inmiddels is de aanmelding voorbij. Het publiek is nu aan de beurt. Dus wij mogen stemmen. Geloof ik. Ook al zijn we Europeaan. Maar we hebben alleen de keuze uit Amerikaanse studenten. […]

I would ask that you all at least look at Matthew Burden. Matt is not only a great blogger, but also one of my American Heroes! You don’t have to believe in the war to believe in soldiers and especially those who are at the tip of the spear putting themselves in harm’s way and Matt not only talks the talk, but he’s walked the walk and is someone that keeps our American soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coasties at the forefront of people’s minds no matter what you think of the President, Congress or the war — these kids didn’t ask to get sent over, they just said “yes sir”, saluted smartly and went to protect those of us that stayed behind. Matt is a good blogger, a good student, a good soldier, a good husband and I would appreciate you giving him a chance — when was the last time you knew a soldier that had $10,000 laying around to finish school with?
October 9th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
I vote for Grant! He has the most “real”potential of any one person in the running. Look out kids,Grant is in Town!!!
October 9th, 2007 at 3:30 pm

Grant Brisbee’s McCovey Chronicles is the best-written site I’ve ever seen on the web. His mix of insight, humor, and pathos (particularly this past summer) has created an online community, and continues to brighten the day for hundreds of loyal readers. Despite working and going to school, he finds time to inform and entertain each day. A vote for Grant Brisbee is a vote for truth, justice, and the American way*, and guarantees that the terrorists haven’t won.

Shane is trying win the $10,000 scholarship to help him pay off a small portion of his immense college debt. I know I’m his Mom, but I say vote for Shane, he is a great kid and really deserves it! Nobody should have to get out of college with as much debt to pay as he will. Thanks so much for your support.

I voted for the blog that was best-written, most poignant, and funny. And I never dreamed I would describe a blog about cancer as funny! Kim Klein is truly amazing – commuting 50 miles a day to go to school, raising 3 kids, excelling in law school, and, oh yeah, battling cancer with an amazing attitude. This blog is not just for breast cancer patients, law students, or women. Kim’s inspiring story can touch anyone who reads it. $10,000 is just a small drop in the bucket of what she is going to need, considering her and her children’s educations that she needs to pay for, let alone her medical expenses. And, according to her blog, she wants to be a public interest lawyer, which is not going to do much to help with those debts. I am an attorney at a large law firm and I would have trouble paying for all that; I can’t imagine if I only made one-fourth of my salary, as public interest lawyers do. Best of luck to you, Kim.

Dear Anon: We finalists were instructed to tell all of our friends, family, blog readers, and fellow bloggers to vote for us in the email we received telling us that we were finalists. If a certain finalist choses not to do that, that’s fine – but it shouldn’t be considered a knock against the rest of us who are simply playing by the rules of the competition.

October 12th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
good Luck, Kim!!
October 12th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Kim, you deserve this. Good Luck!!
October 12th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
Go Kim…I have known Kim for several years and have often admired her positive attitude and her “all out” effort that she puts forth. It did not matter if the task was big or small, she always gave it her all as if this were the most important thing in her life at that moment. Even now with breast cancer knocking at her door, she has opened that door and decided to again give it her all. She has allowed many people to view her journey through cancer on her blog. This I find to be very selfless and admirable. Her blog is a valuable resource for many people who may be going through cancer, know someone who has cancer or for someone like myself who had no idea has much was really involved in treating cancer. This blog has opened my eyes to a whole new thinking about how people live through and deal with a cancer diagnosis. So before you go thinking this is a popularity contest, visit Kim’s blog and learn something. I know you will be surprised and impressed! Open your heart to help Kim like she has helped so many people so many times! She is one in a million!
October 12th, 2007 at 9:21 pm

I’d just like to submit that this is a silly way to pick the winner of a ten thousand dollar scholarship. Popularity is not a mark of quality, and web polls are an acceptable measure of neither. Some light-duty investigation has revealed that open proxies have been used to vote, and even putting this aside, you can be sure that the bloggers are likely to try and rope people into voting here who haven’t read the blogs. This ‘competition’ has about as much integrity as the stereotypical high school student body president election. Disappointing.

Truthful but yet not harsh or unreasonably (if there can be such a state w/in her situation) angry. Also, not afraid of upsetting her readers.
I think she should win. I also believe our country might be better off w/ a few more like her.
God bless
October 15th, 2007 at 5:52 pm
I have to agree – this is a terrible way to award a scholarship. Does the committee awarding this honestly not care that they have chosen a method that is prone to cheating and dishonesty? Do they also not care that such cheating has already occurred?
It bothers and upsets me the way this scholarship is being handled.

I agree .. this is a terrible way to award a scholarship, especially because this entire competition is rife with cheating. I mean, seriously, is this the way that we want to reward serious scholarship, by giving money to the best cheater? On the other hand, this is no different than what is happening in this country, so I guess that makes cheating alright then.
Just sign me;
Also very disappointed.

Some people have been confused about whether this comment section is where you vote. It is not. You will see the place to vote on your screen pretty clearly. If you do not see it, it means someone else has already voted from your IP address (e.g. if you are voting from your office and someone else at your office has already voted, you cannot also vote).

I will be starting radiation soon, and I can only be positive and happy. My cancer was detected early with a mammogram. I urge everyone to have a mammogram once a year.
Kim, you sound like an outstanding person. May God bless you and watch over you as you try to get through this particular time in your life.

@Nicole:
As I understand it, the voting system here allows one vote per IP address. This would be fine if there was anything approaching a 1:1 correspondence between people and IP addresses controlled by them. This is not the case.
Some people, like in the office situation to which you referred, share a single IP address, while others have multiple IP addresses available to them. Each of the computer lab machines at my university have different IP addresses. Given that I can log into any of them, if so inclined, I could vote several times. Additionally, there is the problem of open proxies– these are computers which, knowingly or unknowingly, allow others to access the internet using their IP address and thus would allow someone with a list of such proxies to vote multiple times.
There is enormous potential for abuse of this voting system, which is why I argue that it should not be used to decide the winner of a $10,000 scholarship.

I voted for KIm as well. A blog which I regularly visit had posted her site as a link- but I feel like all that have bashed the system of voting, or the corruption- need to understand that I, for one, did go through and read ALL the pther blogs before voting. I was torn, a bit between Kim & Matt (being that my husband is an active duty marine I feel his blog is also very good.) but they are all good if not excellent blogs. I just felt like Kim was the most deserving of them all, her ability to talk about cancer in a real sort of way speaks to my heart, and after praying about who to vote for, I felt it was her. blessings to ALL the contestants!

My 3 year old son, Riley was born with trisomy 21, Down syndrome. Thomas Peters’ tribute to his son, Eliot moved me to tears. How wonderfully inspiring that Eliot’s parents so exuberantly celebrated his short life and so clearly recognized God’s grace in their son. I feel privileged to have shared in some small way in the celebration of Eliot’s life.

Great collection of blogs. Quite sad what LawMom has faced; however my vote goes to someone working to cure human disease rather than afflicted with it. The former is much more rare and valuable than the latter. Good work Shelley.

Kim,
Focused on life..
Believing the best..
Thinking of others..
Passing the test..
Ignoring the blackhearts..
Sharing your soul..
Facing the challenge..
Creating your role..
Feeling for strangers..
Supporting your friends..
Learning what matters..
Your love transends..
Crafting the words..
Fulfilling your dreams..
Confronting the threat..
Your radiance redeems!
Love,
Dad – YOU ROCK!

Blessings to you and your family as you “go to the mattress” with this fight. Remember you have an Angel in your corner praying for you. I love you all.

[…] 6. How do you intend to use the $10k scholarship if you win? It’s a financial challenge just being a student, but I manage to get by with the support of my parents and an assistantship at the ETC. If I win this US$10k scholarship, I’m proposing to let the collective public decide on the wisest way to use it, by taking suggestions on my blog and picking the best ones to execute. […]

Thanks to Jenny at the Shifted Librarian, John at johnmiedema.com (now at slowreading.net), Lynn at Hypothetically Speaking, and Diane at Library Cloud for mentioning me in their blogs.

[…] How many times have we been reminded not to judge a book by it’s cover? Well, in my experience, quiete a few- it’s just one of those phrases that seems to apply to everything. However, when looking at various blogs belonging to those in the running for a $10 000 scholarship, I can’t help but judge their blog partly on appearance. You know that blog you click on and it’s filled with large blockquotes and crowded paragraphs, and it’s just a mess to read… it’s not very nice to read and you never really get through the whole post do you?

I voted for Thomas Peters simply because he is broad in his topics as well as articulate in his articles that need clarifying. Would like to see more coverage of the Bishop’s conference when two orthodox and very articulate Bishops were not elected by their peers. Seems like a combination of jealousy and anti conservative bias in the vote. No wonder this conference is not very well respected by the faithful who see a liberal bias in the results. The Holy Spirit has HIS work cut out in trying to get this group on the same page as Pope Benedict XVI.

[…] I hate to solicit things on this blog but I’ve been selected as a top 20 finalist for the $10k blogging scholarship I wrote about a while ago. If you’ve got the time to spare, I’d really appreciate your vote. Compared to last year where there were only 10 finalists, there seems to be considerably more competition this year. As I’ve mentioned in the past, out-of-state Georgia Tech tuition isn’t cheap, especially when I’m going to be here for an extra semester or two from changing majors. […]
