The webiste showed pictures containing a outside pool, arrived and asked what time the pool closed only to be told it was not open, there was not even any water in the pool.
The pool did not have any water, was not open, website indicated there was an out door pool.Customer Service was not the best, when you interact witht he public you should have better customer service skills.

very roomy with a fridge and microwave. Clean with plenty of towels.
Due to flying, I could not bring toiletries. Needed shampoo, conditioner, lotion. The motel only had body wash. Needed assistance to work the coffee maker. Three coffee filters but only one sugar and one creamer.good area; priced very reasonable.

The hotel and the room smell great at all times. The service and the breakfast was super!
They do not change the sheets in bed every day. They change them every third day. The shower does not have complete coverage so water gets out leaving floor all wet.
Excellent 10.0
Room was spacious and CLEAN. The king sized bed was very comfortable. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was hot and delicious. We would stay there again.
We had a horse trailer and a bigger parking area would have been appreciateed. We were allowed to park in front of a storage type building . So we were accommodated.

There was NO cups available.. The breakfast ? was terrible. Everything cold. Could not eat.Would never book/stay in this motel again.
Poor 1.0
Room was covered in dust No shower or bathtub pictures were not on the walls but on the floorThis is a 1 star hotel, but they don't deserve that rating. When we arrived at the hotel we were treated rudely, the staff was angry about answering the door. The room was horrible. The bed and all the furniture was covered in a thick layer of dust. I have never seen such bad dust before. The room looked like it had not been touched in several months. There was a coffee maker, but no cups or coffee. There was a bathroom, but no shower or bath. The pictures that were supposed to be on the wall were on the floor. When we complained, we were offered another room, which was impossible to find because the key had the wrong room number on it. The second room wasn't covered in dust, but besides that wasn't an improvement. We asked for a refund, but the staff at the front desk was rude and insisted that we had to get the refund through priceline....

Friendly Staff. Good location.
Room with a kitchenette was not supplied. The Maids did not clean the room but tried to make it look like they did.I paid extra for a room with a kitchenette and it didn't have pots or pans, utensils, cups or anything to clean the dishes with. Apparently this is not supplied, as it is in different Hotels that I have been in. So I couldn't use the stove or dishwasher, unless I was willing to buy the items needed. The Maids would put the drains down daily in the tub and bathroom sink to look like it was cleaned, but it was not. They did not vacuum either, however the beds were made nicely. The king sized bed was very hard. I woke up through the night having to keep switching sides because of the hard bed. This was a nice hotel other than the disappointment with the kitchenette, and luckily I keep my room fairly clean anyway.

Want a cheap handset? Steer clear of your carrier.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
In the market for a new cell phone? Consider shopping at the nearest electronics store.
Starting today, Wal-Mart will sell the 16GB iPhone 3GS for $97 with a two-year AT&T contract, instead of the $199 price tag both AT&T and Apple offer. When Wal-Mart announced its planned price drop last week, analysts and consumers alike saw the move as a confirmation that Apple would unveil a new model of the popular smart phone in June.
But it's not at all unusual for big-box retailers such as Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, Best Buy and RadioShack to offer handset prices that are significantly lower than those at carriers.
Picking the right time and a high-traffic location are the first rules for a community yard sale.
This post comes from Leah Ingram of partner site Money Talks News.
Recently, I organized a community yard sale. Its purpose was to raise money for our middle school, plus provide a service to folks like myself who live in a place that is not conducive to having a yard sale.
Organizing it was easier than you might have thought.
Is it OK to use taxpayer money to reduce the mortgage balances of struggling homeowners? Some states are considering this.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Where do you think we should draw a line in the sand with these mortgage bailouts? Myself, I'm not a hardball libertarian make-your-bed-and-you-lie-in-it type of taxpayer; I do believe in government. I'm not a bleeding heart type, I tell myself, but I like to think I do have a heart.
- Bing: Why not just walk away?
It seems right to me that government should pave roads and hire teachers and cops. When life whumps people upside the head through no fault of their own, it seems like a decent thing to have a safety net that helps get them on their feet. Not a down cushion, mind you. Just a net, with big wide mesh.
But this business of failed mortgages just confounds me. Who should we help?
Theater chains offer special programs of family-friendly flicks on weekday mornings.
It's summer, and a young mother's fancy turns to -- free and cheap movies to entertain her children in air-conditioned comfort. Dads and grandparents may like these films, too.
Most of the major theater chains have a summer program of free or discounted movies for children.
Some public libraries, cities and parks also show free movies during the summer. If school is already out in your district, the summer movie programs may start as early as this week, but most start next week or the week after.
It exists everywhere, but some places have more of it than others.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
I'm back! After 10 days boating through Southeast Alaska (and two days of recovery), I'm ready to think about personal finance once again. Actually, it'll probably come as no surprise that I never stopped thinking about personal finance. Even while we were skirting among ice floes, pulling up prawns, and admiring whales, my mind never strayed far from the topic of money. (I'm not saying this is a good thing, but it's the truth.)
It would be all too easy for me to share another sermon about the perils of stuff -- when you spend 10 days on a 38-foot boat, living out of a single carry-on bag, you come to realize how little you actually need in life -- but I think I've beaten that topic into the ground over the past few months. I'm working to cut down my dependence on things, and I know that many of you are, too; let's save further discussion for another day.
Today, I want to talk about the value of social capital.
Though I don't mention it often around GRS, the idea of social capital is constantly lurking behind the scenes.
The poll found that most people don't know how to react to a yellow traffic light.
This post comes from Mark Huffman at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
One reason highways are hazardous is because too many drivers don't know what they are doing, an insurance company study suggests.
GMAC Insurance conducted an online survey, posing 20 questions taken from state driver's-license exams. The results showed that many respondents might have flunked if it had been a real test.
For example, 85% of respondents did not know how to react to a traffic signal when the light is yellow. Others showed confusion on other questions or admitted to unsafe habits like texting while driving.
Frugal folks will have to find other ways to reduce their spending on toiletries.
A friend of ours didn't spend a dime on bath soap for at least a decade. Her job required lots of travel, and she hauled all those little hotel soap bars home. Tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner and lotion, too.
(Is that theft? More on that below.)
The days of free bar soap for frugal folks appear to be numbered. A consultant to the hotel industry predicts that permanent soap and shampoo dispensers will be the norm in U.S. hotels, including the fancy ones, within five years.
Meanwhile, hotel soap bars have been getting smaller, reports blogger Harriet Baskas in an article at MSNBC.com.
Celebrate the weekend with deals on chicken, free breakfast and a free grilling cookbook.
It's almost Memorial Day weekend, time for travel, picnics and, don't forget, remembering those who have died in service to our country.
In honor of the armed forces, a number of businesses and cultural institutions have special deals for military personnel and veterans.
But the universe has a few deals for the rest of us, too. And don't forget that some of last week's deals are still available.

Despite the long name this issue is pretty simple. There are certain situations that when activating an Office 2010 layer you the following error message:
"BCSSync.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start because mscoree.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem."
What's going on is a service of Office 2010 named Business Connectivity Service is looking for mscoree.dll which is one of the core .NET files, but doesn't actually need mscoree.dll to run. The reason for this error is that Office 2010 was captured into SWV on a system with .NET installed and them migrated over to a machine without .Net. This is an example of an issue you get with SWV where something expects certain files to be on the system even if the application doesn't need them and is a main reason why we tell customers to always capture on the oldest OS you want to support and in the environment you want to support. A common way to hit similar issues with various applications is to capture on XP and move the application to Windows 2000 or from Windows 7 to XP--Each of those OSes have different core files that aren't on previous versions.
With regards to this particular error there are two simple ways to resolve this:
1) Install the same .NET frameworks on the client that the packaging machine has
2) Re-capture Office 2010 on a machine without .Net.

Before the first preseason game last year, I jokingly wrote that the worst thing that could happen to the legend of John Beck was for him actually to take the field.
Turns out I was right.
Can the same case be made today for the Redskins' new quarterback -- Robert Griffin III?
Yes, because no quarterback -- or perhaps NFL rookie in recent memory -- has been as hyped as RGIII has been without taking one pro snap.
Before the draft, ESPN analyst and former NFL running back Merril Hoge said he rated RGIII higher than Andrew Luck, the top pick selected by the Indianapolis Colts.
"I would take Griffin in half a heartbeat," Hoge said. "People are going to be blown away by the kid."
ESPN analyst and former Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl quarterback Ron Jaworski said, "He's going to be a superstar."
Superstar. Blown away.
He's doomed to fail -- depending on your definition of failure.
If you're looking for red flags about Griffin, look no further than the franchise that selected him. Over the last 20 years, the Redskins have been the NFC version of the Cincinnati Bengals when it comes to dysfunction.
All that was supposed to change with the arrival of general manager Bruce Allen and coach Mike Shanahan more than two years ago. Yet these are the men whose first personnel moves were to trade valuable draft picks for quarterback Donovan McNabb and tackle Jammal Brown. McNabb is gone, and Brown is Pilating his way out of a job.
Those are the decision makers who decided to trade three first-round draft choices and a second-round pick for the chance to draft RGIII -- putting the future success of the franchise on the line.
But what's success in this case? What is the level of success that RGIII has to have not to be considered a failure? Does he have to live up to the hype, and if not, why not? He's certainly profiting from it.
He's not shying away from it.
When asked this week about comparisons to other quarterbacks Shanahan has coached, it was RGIII who brought up the names John Elway and Steve Young.
"I don't ever shy away from expectations or people trying to put pressure on me to be great," he told reporters. "I'm going to try to go out and be the best I can be. So whether that's John Elway, Steve Young or Robert Griffin III, I'll make sure I do that."
Elway and Young in the same sentence with RGIII -- speaking of himself in the third person.
What could go wrong?

Pure ASP Upload - Restricting width and height
Restricting image width and height
In this tutorial we will explain how to set minimum and maximum width and height for the uploaded images.
There are two types of image size checking:
- check on the client browser, before file is uploaded - this is done when the files are images
- on the server, after file is uploaded - for the other file types.
How to do it
To make the file upload with restricted image size, you need to:
- Start with basic upload page
Start with an upload page where you have Pure ASP Upload on it. If you haven't done it yet, go through the Simple file upload tutorial.
- Open the Pure ASP Upload dialog
Select the Pure ASP Upload dialog by double clicking it on the Sever behaviors list.
Make sure you've selected Images Only for your allowed extensions.
- Select the Allowed Image Size
- Save and done
When you need to restrict the size of the uploaded images, you need to fill in the minimum and/or maximum width and height on the Advanced tab. If you leave one of those values empty it means it is unlimited. The sizes are in pixels.
In our example, we've chosen to limit the image size to min 50x50 and max 200x200 pixels.
Save your page then, upload it to your server, and you are done! Go to your website and test it - you should be able to upload images only that are not bigger then 200x200 pixels and minimum 50x50 pixels.

BAINBRIDGE, GA (WALB) - Teens in Bainbridge who complain there's nothing for them to do will be happy with what the city's planning for them.
The old tennis courts at Cheney Griffin park clearly prohibit skating right now . But the city is making plans to build a $300,000 skate park at the site. It's part of the waterfront connectivity project the city is working on to capitalize on their location along the Flint River.
Al Kelly, Director of Leisure Services for the city of Bainbridge says, "Its going to be a positive thing. We're going to monitor it, make sure the environment's safe. In our public hearings we're getting their input from the beginning so hopefully they will have some, they'll feel like they have some ownership and they will."
The park will be around 15,000 square feet. A second public hearing will be held Wednesday night at the Community Center in Bainbridge at 7.

Emory University surgeon Dr. John Heller will brief reporters at 1:30 p.m. today following Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle's operation to repair a degenerative spinal condition.
Cagle withdrew from the governor's race on April 15 saying he needed time to recover from the painful back and neck problem. He'd been considered a front runner to win the GOP nomination for governor next year. Instead, the 43-year-old from Gainesville said he'll seek re-election as lieutenant governor.
Heller will, according to a joint press release from Cagle's office and the hospital, discuss Cagle's condition, the surgery performed and the outlook for recovery.
Cagle is at the Emory University Orthopaedics and Spine Hospital in Tucker.

23rd May 2012 - Posted by Derek Johnson in category Text Message Infographics
Our friends over at OnlineCollegeCourses.com created the following text messaging infographic about the benefits of texting. Over time, text messaging has earned a bad rap with experts saying it ruins social interactions, writing skills, and expression — not to mention it contributes to dangerous behaviors, like texting while driving. In the infographic below are a handful of benefits regarding text messaging that should help outweigh the negatives.

wonderful, and

for loving you and raising you

But you have to know that I didn't
always feel loved

a long time.

I, too
would grow up and have

I hated myself for that.
Sometimes I still do.
You should know that I long to be a

children if there is a possibility
that I will make them feel

become parents,
there will be days when I feel like I
have failed them, and you, and
There will be days when I will come
downstairs after tucking them into
with tears streaming down my face,
and I will need you to hold me,
and kiss my head,
and assure me that I am not the awful mother I think myself to be.
You need to know that I have all this
love building up inside of me,
splitting my seams,
and I couldn't bear the thought of
them not feeling it.

Tonight I am crying because I love you. No, it's not any of that unrequited love melancholy stuff that I get tired of hearing about simply because it does happen and it does hurt like hell.i will take care of me for you if you will take care of you for me (via birdsofafeatherpen)
I'm crying because I love you and I think you love me and I have never known anything more beautiful than the way you breathe my name and smile and you have a face of a joyous child, your dimples appearing.
I want you in nights like this, in the mornings we both hate. I want to hate the morning, but love waking up to you and still thank God for letting me see this morning because you're here.
You are miles away and exhausted from taking care of others, but still think to tell me to take care of myself, get some rest. We say those words like other people say 'I love you.'
'You have an early morning', 'Get some rest', 'Please don't let me keep you awake'. Others say 'I love you' in place of 'I want you', 'I'm hungry', 'Don't go', and 'I'm here'.
We say 'I want you to go to bed now, you're getting sick', 'eat', 'go rest', and 'take care'.
I don't tell you that I have to be awake at six-thirty tomorrow morning because I don't want to miss watching your habits that don't change but make me want you so badly, I don't want to miss a single piece of that story you think you are bad at telling.
And tomorrow morning at six-thirty, I will smile to myself. I may dislike mornings, but I surely love you.

The Prince and the Pauper: Movement of Children Up and Down the Canadian Income Distribution, 1994-2004
AbstractThis paper uses longitudinal microdata from the Statistics Canada National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) spanning the years 1994 through 2004 to study patterns of family income experienced by a cohort of 7163 Canadian children for most of their childhood. Five principal questions are addressed: 1) What trends in the level of real family income are apparent?; 2) What happens to inequality of income among this group of children as they grow up?; 3) Are the same children always the ones to be 'stuck at the bottom' or, alternatively, 'secure at the top' of the relative income distribution?; 4) What are the characteristics of the children who are most likely to ever or always be in the bottom (or top) of the distribution?; 5) What changes in characteristics are associated with movements up or down the income distribution?

Good research helps inform good marketing decisions. When your budget does not allow for customized market research however, is desk research (sourcing useful existing pre-published information; also known as secondary research) a reliable alternative?
The Internet has made millions of megabits of information accessible. There are however, issues of credibility and validity.
Gabriel Sim, an expert in secondary research, having set up library resources for many multinationals in Asia for over eight years, tells us more. Q: When is secondary research useful? And when is it not? "Secondary research is a good approach to examine large-scale trends.
Always conduct secondary research first. It helps to determine what is known already and what new data is required, all at very little cost.
Sometimes, you may find that secondary research isn't sufficient for the task on hand. You should then consider customized research to (1) collect data that does not already exist; (2) when you need more specific results."
Q: What are some precautions to take in secondary research? "It is always good habit to adopt an attitude of healthy skepticism. Do not take the findings from secondary research at face value; always weigh the potential biases and analyse each source within the political and environmental context of each country. It is useful to integrate data from numerous sources in order to validate your information.
You need to ask yourself:
Q: What are some good free sources? "There are many good ones!
1. Government departments A wide range of reliable information and statistics, such as gross domestic product, external trade, manufacturing, employment & productivity, price index and investment, is provided by the national department of statistics as well as numerous government agencies.
For example, key economic and social indicators in Hong Kong are provided by the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong.
2. Trade libraries In some places you can find trade libraries that are open to the public, free of charge. These include chambers of commerce, the Trade Development Council or the International Enterprise Singapore.
The International Enterprise Singapore for example, carries electronic databases such as OneSource, Business Monitor International and World Trade Atlas, as well as print resources such as country statistical yearbooks, industry reports, and trade directories. Should you need in-depth advice and personalised assistance, you may also want to speak to the library consultants.
3. Industry associations Industry associations are an excellent source of information, sometimes free of charge. For example, tourism authorities have very good data on inbound tourists while the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association provides very comprehensive statistics on motor vehicles in-use.
4. Global associations The United Nations, World Bank, and Asian Development Bank offer lots of free information on their website. For example, the UNCTAD Handbook of Statistics provides data on the analysis of world trade, investment and development for over 190 countries.
Product managers can also refer to the World Intellectual Property Organisation for basic patent and trade market data by country by residents and non-residents.
5. Newspapers You can also try the research reports from business magazines such as the Economist (Economist Intelligence Unit), Businessweek or Fortune if you are a subscriber.
Many online local dailies provide a good overview of trends or industry developments. Some of the major English-language daily newspapers in Asia are important news sources as they are often informative, trustworthy, up-to-date, and accessible (online, RSS feeds). To name some of my favourite ones:
China: People's Daily Hong Kong: The Standard India: Financial Express Indonesia: Jakarta Post Japan: Japan Times Korea: Korea Herald Philippines: Manila Bulletin Singapore: Business Times Taiwan: Taipei Times Thailand: The Nation
6. Publicity materials from consultants At times, you may find some key information from the press releases on studies and reports conducted by management consultants and research companies for their own promotional purposes. You can try the publications sections of McKinsey & Company (McKinsey Quarterly), Bain, AT Kearney, and Boston Consulting Group.
7. Embassies Embassies are also very useful resource centres, especially when your research is targeted at a specific country.
For example, the High Commission of India in Singapore website provides links to useful information on India's economy, export-import policy, relevant regulations, customs and investment policy.
8. Competitors and marketing agencies Don't hesitate to refer to press releases, conference presentations, thought articles, talks or sales pitches published by your competitors. Very often, they are interested in the same market information as you. Sometimes, your agencies will also share consumer research that they may have conducted independently with you."

Series Summary: Kwai Chang Caine was a priest at a Shaolin temple, where his son Peter also lived and studied. The temple was destroyed and father and son each thought the other had perished in the fire. For many years, Kwai Chang 'walked the earth,' while Peter became a big-city cop. Finally, they are reunited and now together they battle evil, using wisdom, martial arts, and occasionally even Peter's service pistol (only as a last resort).
Episode Summary: Peter plays an undercover French hockey player on a team that is terrorized by an business man who wants to purchase the team. Being a hockey fan, this episode has many moments of great plays and even Doug Gilmore has a cameo. In the episode Peter blows up at Caine so Peter is left to his own devices to compete at the level of a Semi-Pro hockey player. With the training of Lo-Si (The Ancient) and Doug Gilmore, Peter learns to harness his Shaolin training and use it in sports.
Amanda's Role: Amanda plays Annie, the hockey team's manager.

These pottery pieces are not your ordinary earthen vessels — they are beautiful pieces of history. These are Chamba black pottery, a craft unique to the town of La Chamba in Tolima, Colombia.
The clay itself possesses a distinct composition marked by the presence of mica, which enhances heat resistance, making it ideal for cookware and bakeware. They are hand-formed by artisan women from the small villages in this Andean town, burnished, and fired, in pretty much the same way it has been done for 700 years. The addition of powdered grass near the end of the firing process gives these vessels their arresting smoky blackness.
And to celebrate Greentea Design's Kitchen and Bath Sale, we're excited to be giving away a set of these amazing kitchenware! Just comment on a post on our Facebook page from March 29 until April 10, 2012 and you'll be entered into a draw for this stunning set!
Full contest rules are available here.
Best of luck everyone!

Bitter? Twisted?
Am I bitter and twisted? Well, probably. But not about that particular aspect of the question. I care about the people who dance with West Coast, and I am excited by the way dancing with them has changed my life. Do I resent the non-disabled dancers? No. I love the way they move. They are so skilled, so powerful. And they have taught me a lot. In fact, dance (and West Coast) has fundamentally changed my disability experience and my understandings of movement potential. I do sometimes wish I could do what they do. It looks like fun to be able to make that move in that way. The extreme athlete in me wishes she could do that extraordinary thing -- for the fun of it. The sheer glory of moving like that or being able to do that.
But wishing I could do that doesn't make me bitter. I also wish I could do some of the things other chair-users do. I was talking the other day to someone who had figured out the forward roll with chair and return to standing position. Kinda like a handspring, I suppose. Now, there is NO chance of me being able to do that -- mainly because my chair has my legs positioned far out in front of me and because I don't think I have the arm strength to be able to get myself back up again. Desire, curiosity, eagerness about these moves? Yes. Bitter, no.
I haven't really thought of my use of TAB as controversial before. Political, yes. But controversial, no. And I am a little taken aback. I mean, I have kinda become inured to it. I think of it as marking .... in the linguistic sense. In the same way that, for example, newspapers don't report whiteness and only non-whiteness, I feel a kind of responsibility to embodiment. I mark the able bodied ness in order to cause a kind of shock, discomfort, and recognition. And, up until now, I was sort of carelessly thinking that if you had a problem with it, it was YOUR problem. But the person who responded to my writing was a disabled person; this person's whose other work that I know suggests that they are less likely to have that kind of problem with it.
In addition to being political on a grand scheme, I am also responding to the way critics, reviewers, etc. write about West Coast. They always say that we have disabled and non-disabled dancers. They introduce us by name, but then they go on to mark the disability. I had kind of thought of it as a "speaking back."
So, it may be an audience thing? Majority TAB -- use TAB; majority PWD -- don't? Or do? Or is there a sense of humour here, too? I mean... in some ways, it's a sort of not so in, in-joke? What are other ways of signalling the same point?
Sigh. It's now 5.48 -- I have been up since 3. Time to go back to bed and hopefully get some sleep.
9 comments:
Since I first began seeing TAB about a year ago, it seemed somewhat rude to me. Not so much bitter as just outright rude. Coming from a background where such things were in my awareness, it seems almost as though it were a foretelling curse of a sort. But you don't do that to children - you don't tell them their entire childhood that they'll die at 30, or that they'll screw up their entire lives by making a horrible choice when they're 17. You just don't do it. It's bad karma, and it's bad for the child. It's foretelling an event that may or may not happen, and my upbringing told me that is something you do not ever, under any circumstances, do to someone else.ReplyDelete
So to me, it's a curse (as opposed to a swear). And an invalid one at that. I cannot in good concious say anyone is TAB because you never know what might happen. That person may die before becoming disabled. That person may live well into their 90s without ever becoming disabled, and suddenly die. There may be cures for everything before some 20 year old referred to as TAB becomes 89 and disabled.
I myself am disabled. Had anyone reffered to me as TAB while I was, I would have felt sullied.
"Cures for everything"--yikes, I hope not. I don't use TAB much ("nondisabled" makes most of the same points, and doesn't recall a 1970s diet beverage). But I don't mind it, either. A reminder that one experiences privileges based mainly on a random and tenuous conformity is a good thing.ReplyDelete
I just use "able-bodied" or AB. I only use TAB on rare occasions when I'm feeling snarky.ReplyDelete
Because well, do we know they won't die first?
And are they really temporarily not like me, such that they will be like me later if they live long enough? In one sense, sure, yeah but in another it feels weird because... they won't know what it is to be born this way. So the whole "you'll end up just like me"
...No, not true, PWD are not even all that alike I don't think. A big part of what I LIKE about our movement is the lack of homogeneity and the ways in which we all HAVE to listen to one another in order to have a movement at all because we're all so totally different.
So there isn't much point to using a "you'll end up like me ha!" word. No, not really.
"Eventually you may come to have some of the same concerns as me when you previously wrote them off"
but well, do I need a word for that? and to call people that word? eh.
the whole "everyone is eventually disabled!" smile smile
assumes that what all people with physical disabilities are is adequately captured by the aging process.
And hey, i am not LIKE an eighty year old AB, I am LIKE a 28 year old with CP, thanks.
An aging former AB becomes a PWD at some point, okay, but how is that LIKE ME such that I want to point this out?
It works as a clever rhetorical experiment in de-centering but isn't useful for me after that.
It's like the word "womyn." When I first came to understand the reason some women used it, it got me thinking. But is it really a tool beyond making someone think a bit once? Personally I don't find it useful.
I don't like TAB but then I find able-bodied extremely problematic; a massive proportion of disabled people are able-bodied; they have sensory, mental health, intellectual or neurodevelopmental impairments. It's a false dichotomy to say some of us are disabled and some of us are able-bodied, temporarily or otherwise.ReplyDelete
My own snarky preference would be disabled-in-waiting.
I don't, however, see it as a curse. In order for it to be a curse, one must see impairment as necessarily tragic.
Well, I love TAB, I like having it in my verbal bag o tricks - since the people who refuse to stop their cars at crosswalks for a lowly weekchairs don't even know what AB stands for, TAB is going to bounce off them too. But for the clueless 22 year old who doesn't understand why the wheelchair change room shouldn't be full of broken furniture, saying, "I can't use the TAB change rooms" might give her/him a twig that 'hey' maybe we are two different species of humans but that we are connected, that yes, you may thank your lucky stars you aren't like me, but hey, maybe you or someone you love might be and you might want to think about that.ReplyDelete
Maybe I am the only person to be told repeatedly the someplace was wheelchair accessable to find it up a flight of stairs to reach a point where you need some little way to express, if even internally, that "not getting it with the best of intentions" sometimes just isn't good enough.
Goldfish beat me to it. I'm self-conscious about the inaccuracy and centering of disability language that suggests it's about an able versus unable body for oh-so-many reasons. But I think that your use of "TAB" to discuss the physical act of dance in a dance company of people with varying physical abilities makes perfect sense, WCD.ReplyDelete
As far as "TAB" being impolite, insulting or cursing someone's future health in some way, well, I think it's an important political aspect of disability issues to continually point out how permeable the category is, and not just for those who consider themselves perfectly fit in all ways now. We all deteriorate if we get to hang around long enough. Why being here with an impairment or two is a curse instead of telling someone they could die young enough to never get the chance to see what it's like (better and worse) is beyond me. Wouldn't the ugly thing be to call someone Temporarily Alive? TAB is really optimistic in many ways, though it's challenging enough that I guess many wouldn't be able to see that part.
About your bitterness. Well, I'll pray for you....

"Davis Wiki offers almost everything the authors of the Informing Communities report hoped for."
25 February 2011
A few months ago we told you about an important recommendation made in a report written by the Knight Foundation and the Aspen Institute:
Recommendation 15: Ensure that every local comunity has at least one high-quality online hub.
We talked about how the LocalWiki project aims to offer a workable, sustainable model for building and maintaining amazing local information hubs.
Today we're excited to announce that a white paper commissioned by the Knight Foundation came to the same conclusion, saying:
It is an amazing compendium of useful, user-generated information about the community's history, culture, government, schools, activities and much more. The Davis Wiki site offers almost everything the authors of the Informing Communities report hoped for when they drew up the seven key ingredients for any local online hub listed in Recommendation 15.
The report explains what an "information hub" is and explores three possible forms that local information hubs take, highlighting the LocalWiki project as one of the most promising models. You can read the report here (PDF).
While this is all pretty academic, this recognition represents an important milestone in the advancement of collaborative, community-owned local media.

Our story
In 2004 we started the Davis Wiki, an experimental project to collect and share interesting information about the town of Davis, California, editable by anyone, that soon became the world's largest and most vibrant community wiki.
Today the residents of Davis use it for everything from learning about local news and local history to helping return lost pets to their owners — and it's become the largest, most used media source in the city. In a week, nearly half of residents use the Davis Wiki; in a month, nearly everyone uses it. And 1 in 7 residents contribute material to the Davis Wiki.
We want to help as many communities as possible realize the full potential of such an amazing, collaborative information resource.

15 notes &
This is why you always buy the two-pack of toothbrushes
Lost my grip. Watched it hurtle in slow motion towards the toilet—which it missed by a fraction because it hit my leg on the way—and as I yelled, "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo", it landed toothpaste-loaded bristles down on the floor at the toilet base.
Exasperated for, like, a split second. Threw it away and reached into the package for the other one. Brushed my teeth.
Noticed the right thigh of my jeans was covered in a huge splatter of white toothpaste. Changed into another clean pair of jeans.
Good morning.

Charles Krauthammer; Why we give foreign aid
Morsi is intent on getting the release of Omar Abdel-Rahman (the Blind Sheik), serving a life sentence for masterminding the 1993 World Trade Center attack that killed six and wounded more than a thousand. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood is openly anti-Christian, anti-Semitic and otherwise prolifically intolerant. Just three years ago, Morsi called on Egyptians to nurse their children and grandchildren on hatred for Jews, whom he has called "the descendants of apes and pigs."
Not exactly Albert Schweitzer. Or even Anwar Sadat. Which left a bad taste when Secretary of State John Kerry, traveling to Cairo, handed Morsi a cool $250 million. (A tenth of which would cover about 25 years of White House tours, no longer affordable under sequestration. Says the administration.)
Nonetheless, we should not cut off aid to Egypt. It's not that we must blindly support unfriendly regimes. It is perfectly reasonable to cut off aid to governments that are intrinsically hostile and beyond our influence. Subsidizing enemies is merely stupid.
But Egypt is not an enemy, certainly not yet. It may no longer be our strongest Arab ally, but it is still in play. The Brotherhood aims to establish an Islamist dictatorship. Yet it remains a considerable distance from having done so.
Precisely why we should remain engaged. And engagement means using our economic leverage.
Morsi has significant opposition. Six weeks ago, powerful anti-Brotherhood demonstrations broke out in major cities and have continued sporadically ever since. The presidential election that Morsi won was decided quite narrowly - three points, despite the Brotherhood's advantage of superior organization and a history of social service.
Moreover, having forever been in opposition, on election day the Islamists escaped any blame for the state of the country. Now in power, they begin to bear responsibility for Egypt's miserable conditions - a collapsing economy, rising crime, social instability. Their aura is already dissipating.
There is nothing inevitable about Brotherhood rule. The problem is that the secular democratic parties are fractured, disorganized and lacking in leadership. And are repressed by the increasingly authoritarian Morsi.
His partisans have attacked demonstrators in Cairo. His security forces killed more than 40 in Port Said. He's been harassing journalists, suppressing freedom of speech, infiltrating the military and trying to subjugate the courts. He's already rammed through an Islamist constitution. He is now trying to tilt, even rig, parliamentary elections to the point that the opposition called for a boycott and an administrative court has just declared a suspension of the vote.
Any foreign aid we give Egypt should be contingent upon a reversal of this repression and a granting of space to secular, democratic, pro-Western elements.
That's where Kerry committed his mistake. Not in trying to use dollar diplomacy to leverage Egyptian behavior, but by exercising that leverage almost exclusively for economic, rather than political, reform.
Kerry's major objective was getting Morsi to apply for a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. Considering that some of this $4.8 billion ultimately comes from us, there's a certain comic circularity to this demand. What kind of concession is it when a foreign government is coerced into . taking yet more of our money?
We have no particular stake in Egypt's economy. Our stake is in its politics. Yes, we would like to see a strong economy. But in a country ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood?
Our interest is in a non-Islamist, nonrepressive, nonsectarian Egypt, ruled as democratically as possible. Why should we want a vibrant economy that maintains the Brotherhood in power? Our concern is Egypt's policies, foreign and domestic.
If we're going to give foreign aid, it should be for political concessions - on unfettered speech, on an opposition free of repression, on alterations to the Islamist constitution, on open and fair elections.
We give foreign aid for two reasons: (a) to support allies who share our values and our interests, and (b) to extract from less-than-friendly regimes concessions that either bring their policies more in line with ours or strengthen competing actors more favorably inclined toward American objectives.
That's the point of foreign aid. It's particularly important in countries like Egypt whose fate is in the balance. But it will only work if we remain clear-eyed about why we give all that money in the first place.

This is a great lamb recipe that includes amazing lamb gravy.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Have the meat at room temperature. In a small bowl, whisk the peanut oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. On a rack in a shallow pan, place the lamb fat side up. Rub the lamb with the oil mixture. Roast, basting frequently, until the meat reaches medium doneness (a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat will register 140 to 150 degrees), approximately 2 hours. Or roast the lamb to your desired degree of doneness. Slice and serve with Lamb Gravy. Serves 8.
To make the gravy, remove the lamb from the roasting pan and drain the excess fat. Add the beef stock and Madeira to the pan. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook down until reduced by half. Meanwhile, in a small cup, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Whisk this into the beef stock mixture. Bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Keep hot until ready to serve. Makes 2 cups.

Recycled DreamsI was halfway down the second floor apartment stairs when I realized I'd left my left arm on the table.It's no surprise of course, for I've always had a habit of misplacing important things like keys, documents, and identification cards, but to leave one's arm on the table is truly embarrassing. I would have run back to get it, but the bus driver is always a bit early on Tuesdays and I could already hear the distant hum of the engine making its way to me.

McCain Alleges Massive Cover-Up on Benghazi, Slams David Gregoryby Free Britney at . Comments
Things got heated on Meet the Press Sunday morning when Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) alleged a massive Benghazi cover-up and slammed host David Gregory.
In discussing the confirmation hearings for defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel, McCain referred to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks.
"There are so many answers we don't know," McCain said. "So there are many, many questions."
"We've had two movies about getting bin Laden and we don't even know who the people were who were evacuated from the consulate the day after the [Benghazi] attack."
"So we've had a massive cover-up on the part of the administration."
Gregory pressed McCain on what he meant by "a massive cover-up."
"I'm asking you, do you care whether four Americans died?" McCain said. "And shouldn't people be held accountable for the fact that four Americans died?"
"Well, what you said was the cover-up ... a cover-up of what?" Gregory asked.
"Of the information concerning the deaths of four brave Americans," McCain replied. "The information has not been forthcoming. You obviously believe that it has. I know that it hasn't."
"And I'll be glad to send you a list of the questions that have not been answered, including 'What did the president do and who did he talk to the night of the attack on Benghazi?'"
"Why did the president for two weeks, for two weeks during the heat of the campaign continue to say he didn't know whether it was a terrorist attack or not?"
"Is it because it interfered with the line 'Al Qaeda has [been] decimated'? And 'everything's fine in that in that part of the world'? Maybe. We don't know. But we need the answers."
"Then we'll reach conclusions. But we have not received answers. That's a fact."
Earlier, the former Republican presidential nominee said he expects Hagel to be confirmed as defense secretary even though he doesn't plan to vote for him.
"I don't believe he is qualified," said the 2000 and 2008 GOP presidential candidate. "But I don't believe that we should hold up his nomination any further."
Is there anything that the government does NOT cover up, these days? Twelve years after the attack, the most basic questions about 9/11 remain unanswered, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We have millions of classified documents, and few if any investigative journalists in the lapdog media. And when even non-classified information is published -- as it was by wikileaks, for example -- we go into a furor, with people like McCain calling for the publishers to be executed. ... All of this secrecy and silence enables factions in the government to get away with murder. Policy is often made by foreign and corporate lobbies, behind closed doors. Accountability is dead. ... When Nixon kept the war against Cambodia secret, he wasn't hiding the war from the Cambodians: They knew they were being bombed. It is only we Americans who were kept in the dark. We are the last to know.
