It is well known that Yanukovych can only speak one language-Russian and that he does poorly.
There're many others like that besides him.
Russian is Ukraine's official language. How else are you going to get a lower gaz price?
Russian is a barbaric language. Yanukovych is a barbarian.
That's a relative category, given the savage manner of your parents and you.
Russian is much more of an international language than Ukrainian. Ukrainian is often thought to be a made up language by country bumpkins in the Western Ukrainian villages. There is no argument that Russian is much more recognized and spoken throughout the world.
Most Ukrainians accept and speak both languages. The only true Ukrainian is spoken in Poltava and it is a very beautiful melodic language. A bit like Shakespeare is to English, or listening to a poem by Dylan Thomas spoken in Welsh or reading the bible in old traditional English. Sadly modern day English language has been bastardized by the American in its use and spelling
Your comment is absurd.
Actually, there are tens of millions (10,000,000's) of Ukrainians that do not speak and/or accept the Russian language - including the Diaspora. And, the Ukrainians that came recently - their children are not forced to learn Russian and their children prefer to learn [Ukrainian] English or American [etc] .
Something for you to wack off over.
There're others showing a different preference.
That was the line they used when they forced Russian down the throats of millions of non Russian peoples of the Soviet Republics. In any country it's native language is first and foremost. Russian is for Russians. The days of Russian supremacy and their grip on Eastern Europe is gone. Get over it.
Actually, idiot nationalists like yourself should stop distorting the past and present.
"Russification" is a hypocritically used term. As an example, consider the low level of Gaelic use in Scotland and Ireland in contrast to Ukrainian language use in Ukraine. How often is the reerm "Angolization" used?
TODAY the Moskali are still trying to Russify UKRAINE and UKRAINIANS.

Were these UKRAINIAN CHILDREN "proudly" feeling a part of the Russian Empire?
Why did the # of UKRAINIAN children in UKRAINE decrease about 50%, and the # of rus-sin children in russia increase about 50%??
The impact of the famine is shown in many ways. Just before World War II a survey of the number of students was made. Since children start school in the USSR at seven years of age therefore, seven years after 1932 there should be an indication of the famine by a drop in enrollment. Look at these figures:
Russian SFSR Ukraine Byelorussia
1914-15 4,965,318 1,492,878 235,065
1928-29 5,997,980 1,585,814 369,684
1938-39 7,663,669 985,598 358,507
Source: Cultural Construction of the USSR, Moscow: Government Planning Pub., 1940, pages 40-50.
The Russian Republic (where no famine took place), shows a steady increase as did all seven other Soviet Republics, with the exception of Armenia. Why did Ukraine have an absolute loss of 600,216 students and Byelorussia (also a famine area) 11,174? The tragic story of these missing school children is written in the pages of the man-made famine.

Are you posting disinformation, or just showing your ignorance?
>> 1897 The total population of the Russian Empire in 1897 was recorded to be 125,640,021 people (50.2 % female, 49.8 % male).
Great Russian (i.e., Russian): 55,667,469
Little Russian (i.e.,Ukrainian):22,380,551
White Russian (i.e., Belarusian): 5,885,547
As many other census in the era of nationalism, the results of this census are biased and skewed towards the nationality preferred by the authorities, in this case, Russian, in order to inflate the numbers of population of Russian ethnicity.
{Also, we all know that the kremlin constantly lies and fabricates in their favor!}
PS did these Ukrainians all live in Moscow?
Your claim of bias is skewed given your own exhibited biases.
In any event, Little Russians like Gogol saw themselves as Little Russian in the regional sense, while proudly feeling a part of the Russian Empire.
Were these UKRAINIANS "proudly" feeling a part of the Russian Empire?
That was the beginning of the 'establishment', which became known throughout the world as 'the camp of death'. Here eight convicts died, among them Oleksa Tykhiy, Yuri Litvin and Valeriy Marchenko died here in 1984, and Vasyl Stus died here in the lock-up block in September 1985.
Here from 1 March 1980 to 8 December 1987, in different times and in different cells were punished other members of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group: Ivan Kandyba, Vitaliy Kalynychenko, Mikhaylo Goryn, Ivan Sokulsky, Petro Ruban, Mykola Gorbal, and the group's foreign members: Estonian Mart Niklus and Lithuanian Viktoras Piatkus, who joined the Ukrainian Helsinki Group at the gravest time — in 1982.

Russian gaining in Federation's non-Russian republics but losing ground in former Soviet space and beyond
Jun 7 at 11:48 | Paul Goble
Russian language instruction is increasing in the non-Russian republics of the Russian Federation and especially in the North Caucasus, but the language itself, Moscow experts say, is rapidly losing ground in the former Soviet republics and occupied Baltic states and beyond the former Soviet space.

No point in speaking to Yanukovych in Ukrainian. Yanuk speaks it poorly and understands it even less as he is not Ukrainian.
I guess if Fule wants Yanukovych to understand....he has to speak Russian.
Even tho Russian is a parochial language limited to asiatic europe,
yet it is important to get certain points across to Yanuk so that he can understand....as he ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
If one was to speak Ukrainian to Yanuk....might as well be French...Italian...German....English....it doesn't matter. Yanuk has no understanding of any language but Russian. He's a dummkopf!
Russian is the lingua franca of the former USSR. Outside that area, Russian is far more influential than Ukrainian. These points are something that the svidomites loathe.
{Actually, the USSR was just a huge Potemkin village put on the map of our planet - in reality it was just a continuation of Muscovy!}

It was run by a multiethnic group of elitists, inclusive of anti-Russian folk like Lenin.
On the concept of successor states, the Russian Empire is a historical continuation of Rus, which was showing signs of a regional shift of influence in the north before the Mongol occupation.
PS If anyone honestly believes that Georgians, Ukrainians, Latvians, or Estonians [etc] were Socialist and wanted to be in "union" with the Moskali, then they would be plainly insanely delusional.

Actually, it's a fact that a good number of non-Russians went Commie.
Meantime, Russia had its share of anti-Commies, including the Whites, Vlasov and dissidents like Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov.
Absolutely correct. The Russian language is limited to the hinterland of north europe-asia. No one else voluntarily speaks this dialect. Even Russians bastardize their own language. They might as well be grunting to each other...quite primitive.
Ukrainian? Is that really a language?
Isn't it actually a bastardized dialect of either Russian or Polish or perhaps even both?
Wrong my Russian extremist friend. Russian and Polish are derived from Ukrainian. Ukraine is also the cradle of the Eastern Orthodox church.
BS my misinformed svidomite.
Linguistically, modern day Ukrainian isn't a matter of fact more accurate version of what was spoken in Rus (not "Ukraine" which develops much later).
The roots of the Russian Orthodox Church are in the long ago Rus. Its main location was moved north. Kiev had been destroyed by the Mongols.
In the aftermath of the Mongol occupation, modern day Russia emerges as the strongest and most independent of Rus lands.
You stated, "Kiev had been destroyed by the Mongols."
In 1164, Andrei even attempted to establish a new metropolitanate in Vladimir, separate from that of Kiev, but was rebuffed by the Patriarch of Constantinople.
Andrei Bogolyubsky
In 1169 his troops took Kiev. After plundering the city including stealing much religious artwork, he returned to the northeast afterwards.

You of course omit that Andrey was the son and grandson of Kiev crown princes, in conjunction with his having a valid claim to Kiev.
America had its civil war with Sherman burning Atlanta.
Rus included Kiev and the growing (in size and stature) territory in and around Suzdal.
The Kiev Patriarchate changed main aspects of its locale to the north following the Mongol conquest. This point relates in part to the current status of the UOC-MP, which is recognized by Constantinople.
The Kyivan Rus reached their peak during the reign of Prince Volodymir the Great (980-1015). In 988, intent on strengthening his position, Volodymir introduced Christianity to improve political and cultural relations with the Byzantine Empire, the Bulgarians, and other countries of Western Europe and the Near East. By the 11th century, Kyiv was one of the largest centers of civilization in the Christian World. It boasted over 400 churches, eight markets and nearly 50,000 inhabitants. By comparison, London, Hamburg and Gdansk each had around 20,000.
988: Christianity adopted by Kyiv.
PS Please note: Neither Moscow nor Muscovy existed.
Moskali were burning Ukrainian books before Muscovy had grammar.
450 years Peresopnytsia gospel. The book, which miraculously survived
08/07/2011 _ Valentine Odarchenko, RL
"This, in fact, was a textbook. And it was burned. Because it was written, as it was called then, "in the yuzhnorusskom language" - that is Ukrainian.
In 1690 he issued a decree to destroy all books written by Rus {PRONOUNCED UKRAINIAN} theologians.

There were no "Ukrainian" books in 1690 fool.
As metropolitan Mohyla improved the organizational structure of the Orthodox church in Ukraine, set strict dogmatic guidelines, reformed the monastic orders, and enriched the theological canon (see Canon law). He gathered together a circle of scholars and cultural leaders known as the Mohyla Atheneum (Atanasii Kalnofoisky, Yosyf Kononovych-Horbatsky, Sylvestr Kosiv, Isaia Kozlovsky-Trofymovych, Ihnatii Oksenovych-Starushych, Sofronii Pochasky, and Yosyf Tryzna), which produced an impressive corpus of theological scholarship.
Under Mohyla's guidance the circle prepared new editions of the Bible and the Lives of the Saints; elaborated a new catechism, Orthodoxa Confessio Fidei, which was ratified by the Orthodox sobor in Kyiv in 1640, by the sobor in Iaşi in 1642 (with emendations), and by all of the Greek Orthodox patriarchs in 1643; and issued an important work of dogma, the polemical treatise (see Polemical literature) Lithos, albo kamien ... (Lithos, or Stone ..., 1644; repub in Arkhiv Iugo-Zapadnoi Rossii, vol 9, no. 1 [1893]), a reply to Kasiian Sakovych in defense of the Orthodox faith and rite, possibly written by Mohyla himself.
Mohyla wrote introductions to a nomocanon (1629), a liturgicon (1629), an anthology of prayers (1636), a didactic gospel (1637), a triodion (1640), and Evkhologion, al'bo molytvoslov yly trebnyk (Euchologion, or a Sacramentary or Trebnyk, 1646), also known as the Great Euchologion of Petro Mohyla, and he is the author of Krest Khrysta Spasytelia i kazhdoho cheloveka ... (The Cross of Christ the Savior and of Every Man, 1632), which contains an emblematic poem and the text of one of his sermons. Manuscripts from his archive (150 pp) were published in Arkhiv Iugo-Zapadnoi Rossii (vol 7, no. 1 [1887]).
In 1631 Mohyla established a school at the Kyivan Cave Monastery.
In 1632 it was merged with the Kyiv Epiphany Brotherhood School to create a college, which eventually became the largest center of scholarship and education in Eastern Europe, the Kyivan Mohyla Academy. Ukrainian printing flourished under Mohyla's guidance, particularly at the Kyivan Cave Monastery Press.
Mohyla himself edited several liturgical publications there, and he brought in the best scholars, master printers, and engravers to work at the press.
1616: The first dated book is printed at the Kyiv Pechersk Monastery of the Caves.
1720: Peter I of Russia orders Kyiv Governor Golitsyn to impound the ancient scrolls, chronicles, and books stored at the monasteries and convents of Ukraine.
The language in which the book was penned was strange to the French; the Tzar said (1717) it came from 'Rus.'

PS He was the Tzar of Muscovy and did not say that it was written in the language of the moskali because most Mockali did not know how to read and write.

PS Ukrainians were called Ruthenians - in those days.
>> 1722 When the Austrian monarchy made Galicia a province in 1772, Habsburg officials ***REALIZED*** that the local East Slavic ***PEOPLE WERE DISTINCT*** from BOTH Poles AND "Russians". Their own name for themselves, Rusyny, was similar in sound to the German term for Russians, Russen. Austria ADOPTED the ethnonym Ruthenen (Ruthenians), and continued to use it officially until the empire fell apart in 1918.
Some 200 years ago and times prior to that, Ukrainians were usually referred to and known as rusyny (Ukrainian: русини, commonly translated as Ruthenians).
FYI, most people on the territory now known as Ukraine didn't know how to read during the stated time period in question.
There's no comapring the greater influence of Russian language and literature over the Ukrainian variant.
BTW, China and India comprise countries with more than one distinct language, with one national identity pretty much dominant.
A separate Ukrainian identity developed over the course of time, as opposed to always being evident.
The Ruthenian designatiion was more popular in non-Russian Empire land.
>> 1720. Peter I's ukase banning the publication and printing of books in Ukrainian.
PS Please explain why the Kremlin forbid printing in UKRAINIAN if, "FYI, most people on the territory now known as Ukraine didn't know how to read during the stated time period in question." ?
"Ukrainian" material was printed in the Russian Empire. In the late 1870s, some restrictions came about on account of lie filled anti-Russian venom coming from Austria-Hungary. This was during a historical period when tolerance to other views throughout the world wasn't as great as today.
Why is Ukrainian more popular in Ukraine than Gaelic in Scotland and Ireland - yet the term "Russification" (sic) is more popularly used than "Angloization?"
Already at the beginning of his report, Rafal Lemkin said that Holodomor "is a classic example of the Kremlin's {AKA: Muscovy} genocide, and the longest's biggest experiment in Russification - the destruction of the Ukrainian nation" .
This, according to Lemkin, was a logical continuation of Russian imperial policy, inhumane, which displays the time were "sinking 10,000 Crimean Tatars by order of Catherine the Great, Ivan the Terrible massacres with the assistance of" SS troops "- oprichnina, Nicholas extermination of National Polish leaders and Ukrainian Catholics.
And, a number of Jewish pogroms that have stained Russian history periodically " .
That day, after the Famine, Russian politicians, cynically using its tragic consequences for the Ukrainian nation, unceremoniously "hang noodles on our ears": that the Russians and Ukrainian - are one nation with a common culture and history.
About the Holodomor, no objective scientist would agree with these imperial delusions.
Why do you hate Russian children so much - that you will not tell them the truth?
How are you treating them better with your fictional accounts?
Why is historical truth always labeled as lies by Moskali and their useful idiots?

PS KGB Kirill of the Moscow KGB "church", in union with the Kremlin, is teaching his "flock" that God murdered millions (1,000,000's) of Ukrainians because the Ukrainians were atheists.

In reality, the Kremlin closed or destroyed all of the Ukrainian Churches in the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's.

Instead of repeatedly posting disinformation about the Ukrainian and Russian language, you should learn some historical facts:
Ukrainian is an East Slavic language spoken in Ukraine and in Ukrainian communities in neighboring Belarus, russia, Poland, and Slovakia. Ukrainian is a lineal descendant of the colloquial language used in Kievan Rus (10th–13th centuries).
>> 1721 muscovy changes their name to russian empire.

>>1710 Pacta et Constitutiones Legum Libertatumque Exercitus Zaporoviensis) was a 1710 constitutional document written by Hetman Pylyp Orlyk. It established a democratic standard for the separation of powers in government between the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches, well before the publication of Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws. The Constitution also limited the executive authority of the hetman, and established a democratically elected Cossack parliament called the General Council.
Pylyp Orlyk's Constitution was unique for its historic period, and was one of the first state constitutions in Europe.
Orlyk's basic law never entered into force, and is, by contemporary standards, a simplistic text. Yet, in its time, this document gained recognition as a serious document, and served as a blueprint for future constitutional designs.

Keep lying in a spam like manner.
Muscovy in name consitituted the city state spirit of Rus. Russia is a related name to Rus.
Prince Oleg of Novgorod settled Kiev, at which point the historical period referred to as Kievan Rus begins.
"Kievan Rus" is a latter day term. "Rus" was the actual name of the entity in question.
Modern day Ukrainian doesn't more closely resemble what was spoken in Rus than modern day Russian.
"Russification" is a hypocritically inaccurate term. Note how popular Ukraianian is in Ukraine, when compared to Gaelic in Scotland and Ireland. Yet, "Angloization" isn't as popularly used as so-called "Russification."
Following the Mongol occupation period, the northern area of Rus became the freest and stronest of Rus lands.
So much for svidomite crackpot claims on language, culture and history.
This is a fact nothing new. But they can lie as no one else, they have no Slavic blood but they pretend to be "mother" of all Slavs. They lie and lie like about Novogrod where Muscovians murdered 130,000 people (women and children) coz Novogrodians wanted to be part of the Republick not Musovy. But they will not tell this loud they lie and lie without end. They stole history of Rus coz they don't have their own.

In Poland till the end of 19th century their were call Moskale not Rusians. And Ukrainians were called Rusini till the 1920. If you want to see DNA map then seek in the net Europedia, there is real DNA map which shows who is who. And You will see the closest nations by blood. And Russians are close to UrgoFins and tatars.
More lies.
There's no such valid DNA "map" concluding such.
Yes, nationalist anti-Russian scum flippantly use the Moskal and other related terms. So what!
Civil conflict in Russian history isn't unique to Russia. Consider the wars fought within the British Isles and the American Civil War among others.
The following denationalizing trends aimed against the Ukrainian people must be placed on record in Ukrainian and Russian history:
• Alex of Russia's order to punish the publishers of Ukrainian books with death (1667);
• Catherine II's secret letter of instruction to Prince Rumyantsev, Governor General of Ukraine, concerning Russification of the populace, "so they stop looking for foreign alliances (1764)";
• Decree by Russia's Minister of Education Shishkov (1824), reading that "any word in Little Russian must be banned because it threatens Russia's integrity as a state;
• Russia's Interior Minister Peter Valuyev's circular (1863), to the effect that no textbooks, literary works can be published in Ukrainian because this language "has never existed and shall never exist";
• His 1870 successor Tolstoy's directive read that "all people who represent other ethnic groups must be Russified…"

Here are some old maps of Muscovy and the breeding of Moskali:
Великая Татария (Great Tartary).flv
The Rus settlers of Kyiv built their first citadel at the end of the 5th and the beginning of the 6th centuries on the steep right bank of the Dnipro River to protect themselves from the marauding nomadic tribes of the region. The evolution of Kyiv into a city was tied closely to the development of the Kyivan Rus feudal state. Later, Kyiv's Grand Princes built their palaces and churches on Starokievska Hill, while artisans and merchants built their houses next to the wharf on the Dnipro.
•988: Christianity adopted by Kyiv.
PS Please note: Neither Moscow nor Muscovy existed.
Note that a Novgorod prince Oleg changed his location to Kiev at a time that's associated with the latter day termed Kievan Rus.
True, the area around Moscow was developed by people who were from Kiev. Rus was a very much inter-mingled entity of related people.
As noted at this thread, following the Mongol occupation, the northern area of Rus clearly developed as the strongest and most independent of Rus land.
There's evidence that this regional shift in influence was begun before the Mongol occupation.
As is to be expecxted, this article drew the usual round of dumbass svidomite replies.
Good to see some salient comments.
There's hope.
Russian is the crudest and most vulgar of all Slavic languages. It is known as the "Klingon" of Slavic languages due to its gutteral gulag diction and pronunciation. Only barbarians from the North speak Russian. Russian is a second rate language compared to the elegant and beautiful Ukrainian language, which it is based on.
Uh-huh. Then why do you see most Ukrainians today on the popular social network sites write and speak Russian more than Ukrainian? And many of these people are from Western Ukraine!
Your foolish diatribe is a result of your distorted 70 year old view of Ukrainians living in thatch roof houses, wearing Ukrainian custumes every day and singing Hopak every 5 minutes.
That kind of idiotic mindset includes inaccurately brash claims that svidomite pseudo-historian Hrushevsky got the better of Karamzin.
In your stinkin wet svidomite dreams, as you can't legitimately explain away why Russian is far more popular than Ukrainian.
According to UN statistics, the average forecast of Russia's population in 2030 - 125.3 million in 2050 - 111.8 million people.
Turgenev once wrote that in the hour of hard pondering over the fates of his nation, the only consolation he could find was the Russian language. I find my consolation in ancient Ukrainian carols. It is hard to say what their essence is. Is it their particular beauty, which makes a magic impact on the listener's soul, or conversely, it is the mysticism of our forefathers' naive faith that makes koliadky so special and wonderful?
Yet listening to them dispels doubts and gives birth to hope."
This thread has the usual svidomite banter led by Less.
Don't be surprised if he's a Kyiv Post staffer.

Among them was Rafal Lemkin, convinced "that the Ukrainian is not and never was Russian. His culture, his temperament, his language, his religion - all are different. ... He refused to be collectivized, accepting deportation and more even death. It was therefore particularly important to the Ukrainian be fitted to the Procrustean pattern of the ideal Soviet man " .
Further scientific evidence suggests destroying the Communists churches and priests and church hierarchy - "soul" of Ukraine:
"Between 1926 m and 1932-ies were eliminated Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, 10 thousand were killed. Priests and Metropolitan Lypkivsky. In 1945, when Soviet power was established in Western Ukraine, a similar fate befell the Ukrainian Catholic Church .
The fact that prior to liquidation of the Church was offered the opportunity to join the Russian Patriarchate in Moscow - the Kremlin's political tool - indicates that the sole purpose of the action was Russification. "
Here is what was actually forced Russification. I know it would be useful especially to those who today everywhere squeal about "violent Ukrainization" in modern Ukraine.
[FAMOUS ESSAY by Rafael Lemkin, New York, NY, 1953 ]
Going along with this attack on the intelligentsia was an offensive against the churches, priests and hierarchy, the "soul" of Ukraine. Between 1926 and 1932, the Ukrainian Orthodox Autocephalous Church, its Metropolitan (Lypkivsky) and 10,000 clergy were liquidated.
These attacks on the Soul have also had and will continue to have a serious effect on the Brain of Ukraine, for it is the families of the clergy that have traditionally supplied a large part of the intellectuals, while the priests themselves have been the leaders of the villages, their wives the heads of the charitable organizations. The religious orders ran schools, took care of much of the organized charities.
President of Estonia called Russia's "language of the occupying power"
"When we finally gained independence, why it has become an occupying power the country's second language?" - Toomas Ilves rhetorically asked.
"And why should it be? For example, we invaded your country, but 50 years later we say that you have to make the Estonian language state. Occupation authorities taking over the country, deport hundreds of thousands of people in Siberia and send their people here. And now, when we finally gained independence, or should it be an occupying power the country's second language? Do not ask me ridiculous questions! My advice: Russian descent should have to take care of Estonian citizenship "- he said.

School board honors Mike Dodd
The Blaine school board began its regular monthly meeting last Monday evening by recognizing Mike Dodd for over 30 years of service as a board member. Dodd, who was first elected to the board in 1977 when Bob Gilder was superintendent, is almost halfway through his eighth term.
"I remember going to a school board convention in my first year on the board, and meeting a man named Dale Thompson who'd been on the Sedro-Woolley school board for 30 years," Dodd laughed, "and how it seemed hard to believe that anyone would last that long. And now, here I am."
The board also recognized BP-Cherry Point Refinery, represented by Mike Abendhoff, for its support of a grant that sent middle school science teachers Dan Steelquist, Kelcie Rocha and Sheri Jansma to a five-day workshop on how to teach global warming.
Also honored was Rick Shockey, director of the high school career center, who was the advisor to students who recently won a $500 first prize in a poster contest.
The money was given to the high school yearbook staff for photography equipment, Shockey said.
Teachers Glenn Tuski and Cyndi Selcho, primary school librarian Chip Wolf and high school math teacher Mike Dahl demonstrated some new teaching equipment, including a SmartBoard that allows teachers to link their laptops to a large whiteboard that can easily be seen by everyone.
"You can draw on it, move images around and basically do everything you can on a computer screen on this, even use your finger as the mouse's cursor," said Dahl, "and since the computer keeps track of everything, I can e-mail class notes from any day in the semester to students at their request. This makes it pretty useful in teaching math."
In other business, the board gave final approval to a $150,000 limited general obligation bond to begin the planning process for construction projects funded by a construction bond that voters will consider next March.
Superintendent Ron Spanjer said this is needed to fund certain up-front costs and that the money would be paid back by proceeds from the bond itself.
"It's a low-level debt the district can incur without voter approval and if the bond is not passed then it will be paid back out of the general fund over a four-year period," Spanger said.

Earlier today, CN Lester posted an articulate and well considered constructive critique of the umbrella term 'Nonbinary' now commonly used within many genderqueer, gender variant and gender nonconforming communities.
The following response is adapted from the Twitter conversation I had with CN in response:
Despite having just announced a 'Nonbinary' visibility, education and advocacy network, I strongly agree with much of your critiques of the word.
I think it's really important that we have these conversations about the language we use. I believe that any single word is going to be flawed and likely to exclude some by implication (just look at all the debates around the words 'trans' and 'transgender'), so it's important that we work to ensure the definitions and explanations in our resources and visibility work recognise and minimise these shortcomings.
I'm currently working on a Nonbinary FAQ and I'm aiming for it to address everything you've covered here. I've already had a couple of lengthy and heated discussions about this with some other activists and will be incorporating their perspectives and criticisms too.
And I say all this as one of the architects of the modern positive Asexual movement and author of the original asexuality.org FAQ. I hope I can use what I learned through helping to build a positive, inclusive community around a 'negative' word (asexual is defined by a lack of sexual orientation after all) to ensure that 'Nonbinary' does not become exclusionary or elitist.
Part of this effort in forming a community around this commonly used umbrella term is to bring people together under their common experiences rather separate under many individual identities. And that's coming from someone who has been deeply frustrated by having to choose if I was 'androgyne' or 'neutrois' on community sites in the past (and ultimately joining and contributing to both, wishing I could bring their resources and communities together).
Please see the following for an example of my commitment to inclusivity and recognition of all identities and experiences under community umbrella terms:
Practical Androgyny: How transgender organisations can demonstrate inclusivity
The nonbinary visibility campaign planned will put just as much effort into increasing awareness of all the diverse identities under the umbrella as the umbrella term itself. We all gain from more people understanding identities like bigender, fluid gender, genderqueer, neutrois etc, and everyone gains from the freedom to define their gender identity (or lack of it) and gender expression in whichever way they wish.
I hope this has addressed some of your very justified and valid concerns, and thanks again for starting this conversation and giving valuable critique!
Announcing a new sibling site coming soon, please spread the word, case studies needed!
Announcing a new international Nonbinary gender visibility, education and advocacy network coming soon, arguing for equal access to employment, services and medical treatment for those who don't fit the gender binary.
Please follow us if you're nonbinary, genderqueer or gender nonconforming and want greater public understanding and equal access to employment, services and medical treatment. Allies welcome too!
We're looking for case studies. Have you sought access to transgender medical care while openly nonbinary, genderqueer or gender nonconforming? Please get in contact.
Richard O'Brien's, creator of the Rocky Horror Show is back in the gay press talking about the experience of being nonbinary and turning 70:
"As a child I loved stories of wonderment," he tells me. "Knights in shining armour, princes in tights, fairy princesses, that sort of thing. My elder brother says I used to scare myself silly with monsters, skeletons and graveyards. I lived in my imagination because I knew deep down I should really have been born a girl. I couldn't say that out loud so I pulled the shutters down and lived inside my head."
I ask if he's ever considered gender reassignment. He says no. He describes his gender identification and bisexuality in the following way:
"My feeling is that there are hormonal triggers in the womb. For me, hermaphrodites are proof that things don't always go according to plan. I keep arguing we're all on some kind of continuum. Some are hard-wired male or female and others are somewhere in between. After a period feeling schizoid I decided I'd just be me. I'm more male than female, but if I want to go out in a frock I will."
Read the full interview at Pink News
O'Brien previously talked to Pink News about being nonbinary transgender in August 2009, saying:
"All my life, I've been fighting never belonging, never being male or female, and it got to the stage where I couldn't deal with it any longer. To feel you don't belong … to feel insane … to feel perverted and disgusting … you go f***ing nuts.
"If society allowed you to grow up feeling it was normal to be what you are, there wouldn't be a problem. I don't think the term 'transvestite' or 'transsexual' would exist: you'd just be another human being."
"I'd been fighting, going to therapy, treating what I was as though it were some kind of illness to be cured. But actually, no, I was basically transgender, and just unhappy."
O'Brien, who uses transgender to describe feeling "in between" being a man or a woman, added: "There is a continuum between male and female. Some are hard-wired one way or another, I'm in between. Or a third sex, I could see myself as quite easily."
On plucking up the courage to tell his children about being trans, O'Brien said their reaction was: "Dad, and your point is?"
I wrote an article appraising and critiquing this year's IoS Pink List, suggesting constructive responses and looking at how some of the eleven (binary, transitioned) trans* people included for the first time this year have inspired and represented me as a nonbinary, genderqueer, gender nonconforming, queer-identified, atypically transitioning, andrognynously presenting trans* person. Here are some extracts:
This stuff is important. I had an 'inspiration board' on the wall of my teenage bedroom, full of printed out song lyrics, pictures and newspaper clippings that kept me going through my last couple of years as a closeted queer teenager at a rural comprehensive school (1996 to 98). My board included people like teenage Age Of Consent campaigners Chris Morris (who was the same age as me) and Euan Sutherland, and famous performers like Ellen Degeneres, Wilson Cruz, Brian Molko, David McAlmont, Ani DiFranco, Michael Stipe and Skin from Skunk Anansie. Being surrounded by images of successful queer and gender nonconforming people and listening to their music made me feel like less of a freak and gave me hope for the future.
As a community, we need visible inspirational 'heroes' to look up to. Some people survive, get through it and are inspired to succeed and perhaps become activists themselves due to newspaper articles just like this one. It is possible to critique the form of an award and the nature of the organisation that issued it while still seeing it as important and valuable. As little as I believe in the honours system and the monarchy, I still found it incredibly significant and inspiring when the establishment recognised the work of trans* activist Christine Burns by issuing her with an MBE in 2004 and Stephen Whittle by issuing him with an OBE in 2005.
I see these lists and the tendency to single out certain prominent famous and notable people for recognition and awards as only problematic in isolation. If we let this be the only way that trans*, queer and LGBT people are celebrated in our communities, then yes, it is problematic. If we let this start a conversation about who else should be recognised and celebrated, the hard work that so many others do in our communities and all the different ways people make a difference, then it becomes just one of many ways that the deserving, inspiring people in our communities receive thanks.
When Dan Savage started the It Gets Better campaign, I was among the critics who found it deeply problematic. But it started a conversation that prompted complementary and constructive campaigns that focused on helping young people to Make It Better, and inspired many other It Gets Better videos that weren't problematic in the ways that Savage's had been. There are now some amazing trans* and queer It Gets Better videos out there and no end of testimonials from people saying how seeing them has helped them in the way my inspiration board helped me.
And let's not forget that we do have eleven openly trans* people and several more trans* allies recognised within the Pink List article. Forget the numbering and the different categories and focus on the recognition these people have been rightfully given. As I said above, I want to see more trans* people included, more trans men, more trans* people assigned female at birth, more nonbinary, openly genderqueer and solely gender nonconforming people, and I want us to work towards getting those people into next year's list and given recognition through our own community efforts, independent of The Independent. But let's not play down the hugely important work those who are listed have done to represent, inspire and improve the lives of all trans* people.
Travel writer Jan Morris whose groundbreaking 1974 memoir Conundrum and its journey through her transition (most notably chapter 12) was my first exposure to the reality that it was possible for me to become androgynous, it wasn't just something that some people were naturally gifted with that I could never achieve. I cannot overstate how important this was to me and how much hope and inspiration it gave me as a dysphoric nonbinary person trying to find comfort with my body and social role.
Sarah Brown, Britain's only openly transgender activist serving in an elected political position; a Liberal Democrat Cambridge City Councillor, and chair of the Lib Dem Transgender Working Group. Sarah was instrumental (along with Zoe O'Connell) in influencing Lib Dem MP Julian Huppert to raise the issue of gender neutral documentation such as passports in the House of Commons. Something that will be vitally important to many nonbinary, genderqueer, transgender and gender nonconforming people in this country (including myself).
Jay Stewart of Gendered Intelligence, an organisation that does hugely important creative work with young transgender and genderqueer people and is explicitly inclusive of the wider transgender spectrum. Jay organised the wonderfully positive and inclusive Trans Community Conference, that I was lucky enough to attend this year, and was previously the chair of FTM London, an AFAB (assigned female at birth) trans* support and social group known for being inclusive of all identities and expressions within the wider transgender spectrum. I have briefly spoken with Jay and seen him speak from stage and on video. He comes across as someone who comfortably challenges stereotypical assumptions that all trans men are hyper-masculine. Read him here encouraging readers of the Times Educational Supplement to celebrate transgender students and allow male assigned students to express femininity in their schools.
Journalist Juliet Jacques (in the 'Nice to meet you' section) whose blogging for The Guardian has talked frankly about the process of coming to terms with being a trans woman and undergoing transition in a very public and visible way that has exposed the human story behind trans* people's lives to a whole new audience. In her earlier articles, Juliet talks about how she did not have the stereotypical transsexual childhood story (in a way I hugely identified with), and tried on and explored numerous transgender identities and communities before transitioning. She writes about having been drawn to male crossdressers, made to feel less alone by the comedy of 'action transvestite' Eddy Izzard and going through years of identifying as a gay male crossdresser and later 'transgender' as described by Leslie Feinberg and Kate Bornstein. As such she is one of the few journalists to have written about transgender people who 'live beyond the traditional gender binary' in a mainstream outlet.
So while I am not aware of any nonbinary, genderqueer-identified or solely gender nonconforming trans* people recognised on the Pink List this year, every one of the trans* people listed above has either worked for their rights and/or recognition in some way, or challenged binary gender roles and the public's stereotypical view of transgender people through their openness, their humour or their own gender nonconformity. I don't know about you but, as a genderqueer and nonbinary person, I think that's worth celebrating.
Style sites for androgynous/femme men and male-perceived people?
I'm in the process of gathering links to useful resources on other sites. Currently I'm looking at style/presentation. I'm aiming to be comprehensive and cover all types of people who express androgyny and different ways of being androgynous.
Can anyone help by suggesting a site aimed at men, people who were assigned male at birth and/or are perceived by society at large as men, who are expressing androgyny, femme identity or gender nonconformity through presentation alone (clothes, hair, makeup etc)?
I'm hoping to find sites similar to DapperQ, Androstyle and Stud Magazine, but aimed at AMAB and perceived male in society people transgressing in the femme or androgynous direction through presentation alone.
If so please respond here, in the Ask Box, through the contact form or via Twitter.
So far I have a variety of interesting blogs talking about the experience of being a femme guy, but not much actually focused on style and the practicalities. Here's the one good example of that so far, albeit with a limited topic: ManUp MakeUp
Thanks for your help!
Edited to add: To be clear, I have found a wealth of resources aimed at trans women, some aimed at AFAB femme/androgynous trans* guys but virtually nothing for AMAB femme/androgynous men and femme/androgynous-presenting people perceived to be men within society. I also have a number of mixed/general resources that cover all people presenting gender ambiguity.
I want to be able to link to resources of equal quality and focus for all facets of the trans* experience that fall under Practical Androgyny's remit, but as yet this particular facet seems to be under-served.

A story covering non-binary gender and gender neutral pronouns in the New York Times 'Fashion and Style' section, specifically the 'After Curfew' teen column:
Though Google created the "other" option for privacy reasons rather than as a transgender choice, young supporters of preferred gender pronouns (or P.G.P.'s as they are called) could not help but rejoice. Katy is one of a growing number of high school and college students who are questioning the gender roles society assigns individuals simply because they have been born male or female.
"You have to understand, this has nothing to do with your sexuality and everything to do with who you feel like inside," Katy said, explaining that at the start of every LGBTQQA meeting, participants are first asked if they would like to share their P.G.P.'s. "Mine are 'she,' 'her' and 'hers' and sometimes 'they,' 'them' and 'theirs.' "
P.G.P.'s can change as often as one likes. If the pronouns in the dictionary don't suffice, there are numerous made-up ones now in use, including "ze," "hir" and "hirs," words that connote both genders because, as Katy explained, "Maybe one day you wake up and feel more like a boy."
Teenagers are by nature prone to rebellion against adult conventions, and as the gender nonconformity movement gains momentum among young people, "it is about rejecting the boxes adults try to put kids in by assuming their sexual identity labels their personal identity," said Dr. Ritch C. Savin-Williams, director of the Cornell University Sex and Gender Lab. "These teens are fighting the idea that your equipment defines what it means for you to be a boy or girl. They are saying: 'You don't know me by looking at me. Assume nothing.' "
Dr. Savin-Williams, who is also the author of the book "The New Gay Teenager," went on to list some of the new adjectives young people use to describe themselves: "bi-curious," "heteroflexible," "polyamorous" and even "wiggly."

While it's encouraging to see coverage of nonbinary gender and gender neutral pronouns in such a mainstream publication, I can't help but feel the presentation of this as something new and fashionable that young people are doing encourages the reader to dismiss our genders as a fad or form of rebellion, while erasing all the nonbinary, genderqueer and gender nonconforming people who have identified as such for years or who came to understand or express their genders in later life.
The 'Standards of Care for Gender Identity Disorders', the document used to justify the gatekeeping of transsexual and transgender people's treatment and historically used to bar nonbinary, genderqueer and gender nonconforming people from access to hormones and surgeries, is to become considerably more progressive. The new document will be called 'Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People' and features a number of revisions:
Some key revisions:
• Psychotherapy is no longer a requirement to receive hormones and surgery, although it is suggested.
"It used to be a minimum amount of psychotherapy was needed. An assessment is still required but that can be done by the prescribing hormone provider," Bockting explained.
• A number of community health centers in the U.S. have developed protocols for providing hormone therapy based an approach known as the Informed Consent Model. These protocols are consistent with version 7 revisions of WPATH's standards of care.
"The SOC are flexible clinical guidelines; they allow for tailoring of interventions to the needs of the individual receiving services and for tailoring of protocols to the approach and setting in which these services are provided," Coleman explained.
"Access is more open and acknowledges transgender care is being provided in community health centers. This certainly makes it easier to access hormones," Bockting added.
• There are now different standards for surgery, as well. For example, a transgender man who wants a hysterectomy no longer has to live one year as a male in order to receive the surgery. Likewise, a transgender woman who wants her testicles removed does not have to live one year as a female.
For people who want genital reconstructive surgery, however, the standards of care recommend living a year in the role of the gender they are transitioning.
• Another major change, Bockting explained, is that the standards "allow for a broader spectrum of identities – they are no longer so binary."
"There is no one way of being transgender and it doesn't have to mirror the idea of a change of their sex," Bockting explained.
"These standards allow for a gender queer person to have breasts removed without ever taking hormones," he said.

Androgynous model Andrej Pejic known for modeling both male and female fashions is interviewed by ABC News about 'taking androgyny mainstream':
The difference is that he is still biologically a man. Pejic said he does not take hormones to alter his appearance, and he has never had to shave his face.
"I prayed to God and it worked," he said.
While he does consider himself to fall under the transgender umbrella, Pejic said he has no plans to undergo any surgeries.
"I feel comfortable the way I am," he said. "I don't feel the need to alter my body significantly."
Happy in his own skin, Pejic readily admits that his look doesn't just blur the line between male and female, it seems to erase it. The runway is now dominated by flat-chested, rail-thin giants like him.
When asked if he saw himself as a man or a woman, Pejic responded, "I see myself," adding that he doesn't see gender.
"Women are sexier than men," he said. "With every species, there is always a gender that is more extravagant, and in humans that is women. … There is hair, there is skin, there is just more to show the beauty."
Pejic and his family moved to Australia when he was 8 after his parents divorced, escaping ethnic-war-ravaged Yugoslavia.
I grew up in a refugee camp in Serbia," he said. "My mum was Serbian and my dad was Croatian."
He said he was 3 or 4 years old when he first put on women's clothing and, even away from the cameras, Pejic said he is more comfortable wearing female fashions over menswear.
"Like any other kid, except for cowboy outfits, it was something else," Pejic said.
All he saw was "a child," he said, not a gender. A modeling agency discovered Pejic while he was working at a McDonald's. They knew he wasn't the classic alpha male, and Pejic soon crossed over into women's wear.
Fashion designer Jean Paul Gautier put him in a wedding gown for showing his 2011 spring collection. Gender confusion is precisely what Pejic's "It Girl" status depends on.
"Now, I tend to use the women's room because it's a lot less complicated," he said. "When I try to use the men's room it's like, 'Please leave,' when I want to go to the toilet. I don't want to go through the whole process."
More friendly than flirtatious, Pejic said he'll chat with both men and women while out in public, but remained coy about his sexual identity and his romantic life.
"For me, love has no boundaries," he said.
View the video interview and read the full article at ABC News (NB, the video introduction doesn't respect Andrej's genderless identity and the interview is not all that sensitively worded and asks invasive questions about sexual preferences and activity)
Alex Brett links to several articles summarising the situation by which the 'X' sex marker allowed by the international standard for passports is being adopted or considered by Australia, New Zealand, India and the UK. The meaning and availability of the 'X' varies by country:
- New Australian passports allow third gender option (BBC)
- The official policy (Australian government). Here X means "indeterminate/unspecified/intersex" and "[a] letter from a medical practitioner certifying that the person […] [is] intersex and do not identify with the sex assigned to them at birth, is acceptable." To their credit the policy does use singular they - but overall this isn't much good for non-binary people
- Zoe has a nice clear summary of who will be affected and how
- New Zealand also offers gender X, but not for intersex people [content warning for degendering]
- In India the third gender option is displayed in the human-readable section of the passport as E (apparently for eunuch). I'm not clear on the usage or availability but I understand it is intended for use by hijra.
- The UK Home Office is considering introducing gender-neutral passports (Pink News; no official sources yet)…
- … and how best to implement this (analysis, Jane Fae).
- A discussion of the background can be found on Facebook
- Zoe suggests a wide-ranging consultation may be held
- Previously by Zoe: a Freedom of Information request about gender X markers
Read the original post at Alex Brett's Dreamwidth
There has also been extensive coverage of the UK proposals in the press, with varying degrees of accuracy. Some media outlets, such as the Daily Mail, have included some strong expressions of prejudice against non-binary and intersex people (with worse in the comments).

10 ways Americans waste money
Saving money isn't as hard as it seems. Step one? Stop needlessly blowing it.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
According to a new report from the Census Bureau, in 2010 the average American household income was $49,445. Adjusted for inflation, that's about where it was 15 years ago. Even more depressing: The 2010 poverty rate in the U.S. is more than 15% -- the highest since 1993 -- which translates into 46 million souls.
Suffice it to say that for many Americans money is in short supply, which makes it all the more important to preserve the cash that comes our way. In the video below, I cover a sampling of ways Americans waste money. Check it out, then read on for more.
You just saw five ways to blow money. Now let's recap, add more, and take the list to 10:
- Buying new. Getting something in the original packaging often means paying twice the price. This mistake is most costly when it comes to cars, but it applies to many things: furniture, clothing, textbooks, etc. So whenever practical, skip the stores and showrooms and choose thrift stores, yard sales, eBay and Craigslist.
- Accepting initial offers. Many sellers of goods are willing to negotiate because they want your money as much as you want the product. In "Confessions of a serial haggler," I explained how I've gotten discounts on cable service, hotels, doctor bills, and more. It never hurts to ask.
- Buying brand names. People are finally wising up to this one; generics have been gaining market share since 2006. While prescription drugs have the biggest price tags vs. generics, the dollars add up at the grocery store too. In many cases, the only difference between generic and brand name is price. Can you really tell the difference between name-brand and generic when it comes to water, cleaning supplies, or spices?
- Buying a bigger home than you need. In 2001, Americans spent about 12% of their income on "residential and transportation energy," but this year they're projected to spend almost 20%. Living in a big house with unused rooms or bigger rooms than you need is like driving a stretch limo: You're buying energy for unused space. A bigger house means more furniture, higher maintenance, higher taxes, and more time spent taking care of it. When home prices were rising, there was some logic to leveraging potential profits by buying the biggest. Now, that extra space is nothing but a cash drain.
- Paying interest. This should go without saying, but too few people get it. Borrowing money to live beyond your means makes lenders richer and you poorer. Using credit cards can be smart -- unless you can't afford to pay your balances in full every month. The only time you should ever pay interest: if what you're buying has a decent chance of rising in value at a higher rate than the interest you're paying to own it.
- Eating out too much. We recently wrote that Americans eat out about every third day, and offered some tips to save. But even if you drink water and take home half the meal, the cost per person is higher than cooking at home. Cut back on the dining and you'll keep a few more dollars -- and maybe lose a few pounds.
- Keeping unhealthy habits. Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day at $6 each costs more than $2,000 a year. The U.S. government estimates the actual cost is closer to $10.47 per pack, once you add in the medical expenses smokers will face, including insurance costs. Excessive drinking is also an expensive and destructive pastime, as is gambling. There are plenty of healthier and cheaper ways to use free time: See "26 tips to save on entertainment."
- Paying for freebies. Why do we pay for things we could get gratis? From TV to travel -- even housing -- creativity and flexibility can often replace money. Check out two of our most popular stories: "10 things people buy they should get free" and "9 best ways to get free stuff."
- Turning down free money. As I said in "My 10 dumbest money moves," if your employer is offering matching money for participating in your company's 401k or other retirement plan, and you're not participating to the extent necessary to get the full match, you're literally refusing free money. You're also ignoring an opportunity to get a tax deduction and grow your retirement savings tax-deferred. (Are you saving enough for retirement? Try MSN Money's calculator.)
- Paying too much for insurance. You have a fender-bender and do $500 of damage to your car. Would you report it to your insurance company? If you answered "no" due to the justifiable fear of a rate hike, then let's hope you don't have a $250 deductible. If you do, you're wasting money on higher premiums than necessary. Raising your deductible from $250 to $1,000 could save you 10% to 20%. (How does your vehicle compare on insurance rates?)

More on Money Talks News and MSN Money:
These tips are right on, and if more people followed them, we'd have lots fewer people depending on handouts. We all need to be thinking frugally as if we are in a Great Depression. We are! We need to be stretching meals, growing gardens, reusing, and generally resisting the mass consumerism that has come to define our culture. When we see third graders with their own cell phones, drinking those $5 lattes, we have let the excess overtake our sensible side.
To save $ you can: 1:be sensible at the grocery store. Really look and see what is cheaper. Buy in bulk when possible, use coupons, try store brands (most are nearly impossible to tell) and avoid the over processes, over-packaged stuff. AND stop wasting food. Use those leftovers. Over cook (especially meats) on purpose that will be used in future meals. Train your kids to eat what they take. Pay attention and stop throwing food away because it went bad before you got around to it. (and while you're at it, teach your kids to recycle!!! - personal soapbox unrelated to saving$)
2: grow a garden. It's cheap, educational for kids, environmentally friendly (especially if you also do a compost pile) and the food is wholesome if you avoid pesticides and such.
3: Think before you buy. Do I REALLY NEED this? Do my kids REALLY need this? (rarely!!) Can i get it used? Will I outgrow it, grow bored of it, will my kids lose it? Possessions should be useful, beautiful or loved. All the rest of it is just "stuff"
4: stop allowing your kids to tie their identity to wearing the latest name brand crap from Abercrombie and all the rest. They do NOT need that to be stylish and in tune with their peers. We should all be aghast at T-shirts for $38(+?). If we stop buying it, they'll stop making it and charging for it. You know that shirt cost $2 in labor and materials to make!!
5: Keep in mind that sometimes buying one good thing is better than having to replace the Walmart junk 5 times when it falls apart. I'm not advocating "cheap" necessarily.
The most important thing is just to THINK.
Truth is nobody cares. Wanna be beautiful, have a good body. Exercise is cheap, and you look good in just about any clothing.
Stop owning so much stuff! I pass by neighbors houses and their garages are stacked to the CEILING with stuff. Everything in there cost them a lot of money and its in the garage, mildewing and rotting out there.
Learn to cook! Food is cheap, if you can cook.
Don't have so many babies, your wife's vagina is not a clown car.
The Federal gov. and the administration is asking the american people to tighten their belts.
When is the President going to announce his self imposed paycut? When is Congress going to announce their self imposed paycut? When are all federal employees and elected officials that get paid over $90,000.00/ year going to step up and do their part and tighten their own belt? The amount of money that we taxpayers give to these people is staggering.
Sure am tired of all the people that make every article into some Obama thing. Get over it, don't like whats going on either, but I think more damage is being done by the division in the US society from political ideology than Obama, or Bush...ever did.
That people think we wouldn't be in this mess if Obama wasn't elected is just silly...we would be deep in it either way.
Tired of the blame game by people that have never had to make lose lose decisons in their lives or careers.
#1-Impose a tax on every company that outsources and has factories overseas that is so high, companies are forced to hire WITHIN our own country! Also give a small incentive to companies that hire an extra amount of workers in our own country.
#2-Let the other countries start pulling some of their military weight, and get our soldiers, etc. back here. It's costing exorbitant amounts of money that us taxpayers will be paying off for the next couple of decades (soon centuries at the rate we're going). Indentured servants, anyone?
Mister Manners-I agree that time is money. But as far as mowing, washing the car, cleaning house goes...MAKE YOUR KIDS HELP YOU! That is how you do it. Some of my best memories with my parents and siblings is doing yardwork/housework together, getting in clean laundry "fights", hosing each other unexpectedly while washing the car, etc.
That's why kids don't have any work ethic these days. Because people, trying to save money, do everything themselves-without including their kids in the action.
Just something to think about.
Friend of mine just called me after going into a px on a military installation.
Everything he looked at was made in China. He asked to so some American made products and was told that due to a price restructuring the px was not allowed to sell American made products. DO YOU HEAR THAT SUCKING SOUND?
Why is everyone criping about what the government is doing or not doing...this was about what YOU can do for yourself....I ditched the home phone for just a simple prepaid cell phone, Straight Talk, and kept $80 plus per month, and haven't missed the old phone one minute. Buy used cars, many depreciate up to 30% when you drive them off the lot. Haven't had a "new" car since 1988, saved a ton of money on interest.
I also frequent a local thrift store, I have on many, many occasions walked out with over $100 worth of nice, some new, clothes for as little as 99 cents pre item...Leather jackets, shirts, pants, and such...
One thing I have noticed a lot the last few years:......people sitting in cars in the parking lot waiting for someone in the grocery store.......motor on, air conditioning running, wasting energy, polluting the air, wasting money .........Visiting friends with kids who have so many toys they overflow into the yard and every room in the house......a very negative message. We seem to be outraged when
our tax dollars are wasted but we could all do a better job at being responsible people and raising kids to be responsible, caring adults. If you can't afford it and don't really need it then simply don't get it!!! No, you don't need the latest of everything, no, you don't have to have cable, no, you don't need to eat out at a restaurant 3-4 times a week, have your hair and nails done etc. It is just a sign of the times.
Life is sweeter,calmer, more rewarding, when you can look at the day and say, I did my best today...not only for me but for the greater good.

A Mohave County judge has ruled that a 31-year-old Kingman man is incompetent to stand trial in the killing of his father in 2008 and will be treated at a mental health facility.
Shawn Guerrero was sent to the Arizona State Hospital in 2009 before being ruled competent to stand trial in the shooting death of 59-year-old John Guerrero.
However, the younger Guerrero was sent to a Pima County facility in late 2011 and subsequently found incompetent to stand trial.
Superior Court Judge Lee Jantzen's recent ruling affirms that evaluation, and Guerrero is to be placed in a Mohave County facility for treatment under civil laws.
The Mohave Daily News reports that dismissal of the criminal case would allow refiling of the murder and other charges against Guerrero.

A Lehigh Acres toddler has a rare disorder that only allows him to eat one specific food. In an update to a story we first told you about late last year, his family now says the recipe to that food has changed.
Tuesday, a representative from the company that makes the food met with the family to try and prove offer them a helping hand.
The Gonzalez family says the vice-president of the Nutricia, the company that makes the food for their 3-year-old Michael, paid them a personal visit. But they still don't have a solution and they're worried Michael could die.
He suffers from a condition called Food Protein Induced Entercolitis Syndrome - also called F-PIES for short. For Michael's mom, Jennifer, it translates to long nights. "Vomiting, severe pain, then within the next 12 hours it's diarrhea to the point he becomes severely dehydrated and lethargic," said Jennifer Gonzalez
Doctors say the condition normally goes away by the time kids turn Michael's age - making his case, like the disorder itself, somewhat of a mystery.
"The natural history of this disorder is still not known completely," explained Dr. Virane Weerasooriya, a pediatric gastroenterologist
Experts say half of children diagnosed are usually limited to one food. The problem is that Michael is suddenly reacting differently to his one food.
Nutricia told the family only one change had occurred - not to the formula - but a simple label change.
But in January, the company issued an update on their website stating 15 families were experiencing similar problems
Tuesday, the vice-president of Nutricia met privately with the Gonzalez family to connect the family with the right doctors to help find alternative nutritional solutions.
"They offered to send us to top doctors to find out what our child has. It's worse than anything he's been diagnosed with," Jennifer said.
Nutricia told the family that a new update to the formula will be released later this month, which the family hopes solves the problem once and for all.

Learn more about the benefits of negative ions:
Our modern homes and offices seal out negative ions from our natural world, and our daily environments, with computer terminals, fluorescent lighting, forced air ventilation systems, and modern building materials, generate an over abundance of positive ions. Positive ions make us feel tired, depressed and irritable.
Balancing the ionization in your home and workplace may help you live a healthier life. The world's most tranquil and refreshing regions are loaded with billions of negative ions. Air near waterfalls, mountains, beaches and forests are among those places where ionization levels are the highest and in complete and natural balance.
What are negative ions?
Ions are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. Negative ions are created in nature as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, and moving air and water. They are odorless, tasteless and invisible, and we inhale them in abundance in certain environments. For example you may have experienced the power of negative ions when you last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a waterfall or immediately after spring thunderstorms.
What are the proven health effects of negative ions?
Scientific studies have shown that atmospheres charged with negative ions can help to relieve hay fever and asthma symptoms, seasonal depression, fatigue and headaches. It's also been shown that negatively ionized atmospheres improve performance of voluntary movement, increase work capacity, sharpen mental functioning, and reduce error rates.
Negative ions and Lightair IonFlow 50 air purifier.
The LightAir IonFlow Air Purifier generates an extremely high amount of negative ions without producing ozone as a bi-product. Also, because the IonFlow can generate a high amount of negative ions, it's as efficient as the best HEPA filter–based air purifier, but without the noise, high energy consumption and expensive filter change. Add all the amazing benefits of negative ions and you have the ultimate health product!

KSP Conducts Death Investigation in Estill County
Date of News Release: 02/12/2014
(Irvine, KY) On February 12, 2014 at 12:16 p.m. EST, the Kentucky State Police received a call that deceased female had been located next to a vehicle on Turkey Pen Road in rural Estill County.
Upon arrival, Vickie H. Arvin, 55 years old of Irvine, was located and pronounced deceased by the Estill County Coroner.
Based on the investigation, it appears that Vickie Arvin died as a result of exposure to the cold weather, after her vehicle slid off the roadway and got stuck on a creek bank. Vickie Arvin then exited her vehicle and subsequently fell into the creek. She was able to exit the creek and return to the passenger side door of her vehicle, where she passed away. Foul play does not appear to be a factor in the investigation.
Detective Jesse Armstrong is the investigating officer. He was assisted on the scene by personnel from the KSP Post in Richmond, Estill County EMS, and the Estill County Coroner.
Anyone with any additional information is encouraged to contact Kentucky State Police, Richmond Post at 859-623-2404 or toll free at 800-222-5555.
