Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
ABA- want to start.(20 Posts)
Ok my son 2.2 has now got his ASD dx apparently (see earlier thread - lost in the woods) and I would like to set up ABA for him. I have loads of questions so bear with me.
Is there a way I can run a programme at a very low cost? No way I can fund a full time ABA for a year. I want to take on half the hours myself and possible get some family members on board and look for volunteers. Is this viable or am I mad?
I have been offered a place on the local project for autism which includes speech and occupational therapy (please ignore my rant earlier about OT ). Anyway if I take this place will it compromise getting a statement-will they say his needs are being met? What I want to do is get the statement process going in the hope that the LEA might eventually fund it. How likely is it?
Can anyone recommend an ABA consultant/project to use in the North London area?
Is anyone else here running ABA in North London or anywhere? Do you have any advice/ tips for me?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Can't help, as I'm in the same position, and have the same questions, so will be watching with interest
Message withdrawn
Thanks electra- that is really scarey information. I dont want to remove him from the project because there is no way I could fund a project for long enough to make it work -so that may his only provision. If the LEA were to turn down funding he would be left with nothing.
why do these things have to be so complicated?
starey eyed - we were in the same position and have run a part time ABA programme since ds1 was 5 (stopped for a while, recently re-started he's now 8).
Initially I was able to find a very experienced tutor and she worked on Saturdays. Last year I went on a Growing Minds course, paid for 6 months supervision (which you don't have to do, but it washelpful to have the programe kick started and now have tutors come in after school and some weekends. We pay for the tutors with direct payments, so it doesn't cost us anything (except the supervison but that's stopped now).
Hi Starryeyed, I ran a full-time home ABA prog for 4 years and then part-time for about a year and a half IN NORTH LONDON! We were fully funded for over 3 of those first 4 years without Tribunal. I also ran a support group for ABAers in N London for 7 years until last year. So I can tell you plenty! I would beg you to be very cautious about who you take on to run the prog, it doesn't need to be full consultant level as they can be expensive and not give day-to-day benefits. It could be good to have someone like that on tap to do baseline and judge progress from time-to-time as evidence for LEA. I agree with Electra to avoid putting your DS into any provision if you can avoid it, it will compromise your ABA and make it very hard to prove benefits directly from ABA. I also think Lovaas/DTT style is the best way to start, get some basic skills in and learning behaviours established. You can then go more VB style as things progress, although the whole aim of a Lovaas/DTT prog IS to do exactly that, move away from table, generalise, become more "natural", Dr Lovaas says so but many people (even in ABA) are misinformed and do not understand the difference and similarities between approaches. Many tutors and supervisors prefer VB but that does not make it the right choice or more effective. I could go on (and on!) but must go to get DS ready for Play Club (in North London!). Do post again or CAT me. HTH
Davros- if you dont mind me asking what borough funded you without a tribunal? How likely is funding from my borough? If you could recommend someone that would be very helpful. Have CAT'd you.
I am in LB Camden. I know people in many other boroughs with mixed stories (Brent, Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Hackney etc). As you are in N London have you looked at TreeHouse? www.treehouse.org.uk it is where DS goes. Although we are a long way from you in terms of children's ages, I have many contacts and could put you in touch with some great (sensible) parents. Haven't got the CAT yet but MNTowers prob having a w/e break quite rightly!
Hi, we are doing Verbal Behaviour with Duncan Fennemore since march, our son is 3 1/4. It's made an astounding difference to his language, social communication skills, play skills, self help skills, and the whole family is more positive and happier. I cannot praise DF enough. Running a home programme is not easy, and finding the right team can take a while, but once you get it going it's fine. We are in the middle of statutory assessment at the moment (Southwark LEA) and are going to demand 30 hrs/week.
If you want to ask about
- Lovaas vs VB
- consultants
- recruiting tutors
- statutory assessment & ABA
CAT or e-mail kitegirl77 at hotmail.co.uk. I can't say that I am an expert on anything, but we've learned a lot over these past few months and I would be happy to share it with you. Agree with what has been said before - take your DS out of nursery, get a baseline of his skills & language before you start.
Thanks Kitegirl- I have heard of Duncan Fenmore before I bet he's really busy.What is base lining and how do I get it done?
I understand that you guys are saying that I should not join the project because I have to prove the effectiveness of ABA to have a chance of LEA funding it but what happens if they dont? I really can not afford to fund a programme. Im so weary of taking the only provision he has been offered away. This feels like such a gamble. At the same time I really want to do full time ABA as I really believe that will help him.
Davros- really interested in Tree house would love to know more about it. I dont suppose it will be open much longer for me to go and visit. Would funding for Tree house be dependent on the proven effectiveness of ABA for DS as well?
Have emailed you kitegirl
Message withdrawn
Interesting Electra please do email me. I couldnt even afford a solicitor
Starryeyed, Treehouse only has a 3 week summer holiday (hooray!). They break up at the end of July. They have visiting days listed on their website but you can phone and make another appt. A place would not be dependent on ABA suiting your child as evidence shows it pretty much benefit just about every child with ASD, plus those with other disabilities and even NT kids (think SuperNanny strategies to behaviour!). DO PLEASE CAT me before you go ahead with anyone. While I have heard nothing but good things for many years about DF I am not convinced he is the best use of your £££, although the may be. But he is not your only choice. What borough are you in?
Please CAT me Davros I would love to know more about Treehouse and your advice on ABA.
Aargh! When trying to CAT you Staryeyed I discovered that my MN subscription expired in January!!! I'm sure I haven't received anything telling me so or it may have been so cleverly embedded in one of their standard email that I didn't notice. I will subscribe again but don't have credit card to hand. If you are joined up then CAT me or I will prob do it tomorrow morning and then CAT you.
Have CAT'd you again Davros.
Staryeyed, have renewed my subscription but have not had a CAT!! I will try to CAT you now.
Hi Davros,
I can't seem to get through with CAT. Please email me firstname.lastname@example.com

Game Rating System
I have seen too many game reviewers give different parts of a game a ?/10 score and then make the overall score an average of all the factors. This is wrong. Some parts of a game are more important than others, and this is not reflected when someone uses the above method. This said, I present unto you my Game Rating System (pat. pending):
First, give each of the following areas a rating from 1 to 10.
Music and Sound
Next, multiply each number by the corresponding factor's position down the list. Since Music and Sound is first, multiply its score by 1. Graphics is second, so multiply its score by 2, etc.
Now add all those numbers together and divide by 10. The result is a "weighted average," with Music and Sound being the least important while Interactivity is the most important.
Just my two bits. Also I would like to take this opportunity to thank Levingston for his excellent writing so far and encourage him to keep up the good work!

October 2, 2012 - 8:35 am
I hate to be sententious — I'm not even sure how to spell sententious — and God knows I like to ridicule my fellow man as mercilessly as the next fellow man, but this video that's been making the conservative rounds that shows an anti-Romney protester declaring she likes Obama because he gave her a free phone? Not really funny. I know, I know — but really, the woman is clearly poor and not very well-educated. And mockery is a pin for the inflated, no? Though the federal programs liberals propose to help such people as the phone lady only make their lives worse, the principle that we ought to be concerned for them remains (sorry) the right one. Just because liberals call us mean until we want to hurl defiance in their teeth by saying anything we damn well please, doesn't mean we should actually BE mean! As ever, I hold conservatives to a higher standard, because we're the good guys.
What DOES deserve our scorn and ridicule here is an administration that has lowered the office of the presidency to the level of a Boss Tweedian city machine, buying the votes of the poor with a free turkey at Christmas or, in this case, a phone. Not to mention buying their votes for policies that destroy them.
And if you really want to make fun of Obama supporters (and who, at this point, does not) why not go after the well-to-do and educated? The guys who tell you Obama makes a better president than Mitt Romney because "He cares." Or, even more delightfully, try this fellow — Russell Razzaque, a British psychiatrist, who has written a book called, so help me, Obama Karma: Lessons on Living Inspired by the 44th President. I saw it in a bookstore in L.A. yesterday and downloaded a sample because… well, because I'm always in need of a laugh.
The book proposes to help you to self-improvement by emulating the "emotional intelligence" of Barack Obama. "It is through Obama's ability to face his own pain that he has managed to grow continually throughout his life. And I hope that by the end of this book you will be better placed to do the same." I am, as Dave Barry used to say, not making this up.
Exercises in the book include,Learning to blame George W. Bush for anything that goes wrong in your life, How to use the word "I" until you sound like you're singing "Cielito Lindo," and, of course, Surrounding yourself with media toadies who reflect your distorted ideas back to you as reality.
Okay, I DID make those chapters up. But my point is, the Obama camp is overflowing with well-educated, well-to-do grown-ups with the "emotional intelligence" not to say "political intelligence" of 12-year-old girls at a Justin Bieber concert. Desperate as the times are, we're certainly not starved for laughs in this election.
Bee's note:
There is much truth in humor. At the beginning of Klavan's video, the school children are singing a song about Obama. That brings back memories of a concerned parent who took a video of her child being taught to sing praises to Obama, shortly after Obama took Office. Can you remember any President in America's history ever having this done by our children?! Well, that parent's video spread across our nation like bees on honey and the "singing" for Obama ceased! Since then, we've had the First Lady Michelle Obama, acting like the Food Police in our school system, demanding that our children eat only what she deems "healthy" foods. This has caused great stress among parents, as many children have allergies and can eat only what the parents prepare for them. Another concern is our high school athletes, complaining that they are hungry and not receiving enough calories to play sports at the end of the day. Here's my concerns: the songs to Obama are brainwashing and the food police are all about "control" - controlling what our children eat and by-passing the family's ability to care for their children, much like the way Obama by-passes Congress to implement his agenda.
I know of another man in history who implemented his agenda through "control" and propaganda. He even had a "brown-shirt youth group". Eleven Million people died at his hands - Six Million Jews sent to the gas chambers. Controlling citizens through government will always end in one huge disaster - led by insane madmen who are not the least able to recognize that their "progressive" agenda eventually leads to death.
Americans are not suicidal. We are witnessing the worst of times, through this President's agenda, that have led four of our diplomats/Marines to their torture and deaths in Libya.
The Foreign Policy Debate between Obama and Romney will be held this coming Monday evening. If Romney can wrap Obama's failed polices around all his failed polices that destroy America's liberties and those of our allies - Romney should win this election by a landslide.
That's it ... ! Your votes will count on November 6th.

HUMBOLDT ST, Brooklyn: Due to some unfortunate computer issues I am in a photographic upload standstill until I spring for an external hard drive. In the mean time, I just finished this book! And it was very inspiring!
It was on the recommendation of a highly esteemed friend, who (upon my enthusiastic reaction during/after reading Possum Living) was so generous to have gifted me my current read as well… I just started The Urban Homestead.
Both books are available on Amazon, or if you are in my neighborhood you can support a local business and get The Urban Homestead at Sprout Home. I don't have much of an opinion about the second book yet, since I just started it, but I am very excited about finding out what the authors have to say! Got any good books to recommend? Email! email@example.com! Happy reading!

ADA Info
Baldwin Boettcher's Word Crafter writing group will be going on a field trip this Saturday, April 14 to Copperfield Books 4th Annual Local Author Fair. There will be many area authors there, snacks, and a raffle. We would like to invite you to meet us there. It will be from 10:30 am to 4 pm. Meeting local authors will be a wonderful inspiration for other writers, and we hope you will join us! If you have any further questions you can call, Copperfield Books at 832-761-5559.
Today I want to address the would-be poets out there. More specifically, I want to offer some advice to all of you who have ink coursing through your veins, but who can't find: a) the time b) your voice c) your muse d) your pen.
The premise of The Power of Small: Why Little Things Make All the Difference by Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval is a simple one. "We have become a nation of skimmers, our attention limited to sound bites, live video clips, and headlines," they say, adding that, as a result, the small cues, the simple gestures, the random acts of kindness that give life texture and meaning are all too often overlooked or ignored.
There's a new book in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. I know, I know – it's a little bit like the never-ending Rocky movie series. BUT, you have to admit this one's sorely needed – Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People. It has 101 stories about overcoming challenges, especially in economic hard times.

Official Gecko Logo
Wednesday July 14th, 1999
Marc-André Descôteaux has interesting news, by way of the NeoPlanet website. He writes, "...I was looking at the pages on the NeoPlanet website when I came across a logo I had never seen: the official Netscape Gecko logo..."
Things I like: the overall shape, the feet (they give the logo a fractal-like quality). Things I'm on the fence about: the head looks like it belongs on a phallus more than a gecko. Things I'd rather they throw into the dustbin of history: the please-lord-make-it-stop Netscape blue.
What do you think?

Back to Football: 5 Tips to Overcome the Giants
We are back to football this week in the NFL! As the Cowboys look to overcome the Giants in the season opener, they have meticulously planned in advance for schemes, run games and trick plays. Just as the Boys plan for what could happen in the game, we too must plan for what giants we could face in the game of life to throw off our good eating efforts. Here are 5 tips to keep you in the game this season.
Develop a game plan
If you think you will go through the day and healthy meals and snacks will miraculously appear, you will be sadly mistaken. If you want to eat healthy, you have to plan for it. Take time at the beginning of the week to bag up snacks and make a list of what you need before going to the store.
A little preparation will save you a lot of heartache and frustration later in the week (or game)! If you want to win, you must have a plan.
Stick to the plan when it seems like it's not working
Many times in football we think "Why are they still running the ball?! It is not working!" The truth is they are sticking to the plan and what they know works long-term. The same is true with eating and working out. You may not see results over night, but sticking with a plan will produce long-term results, so don't get frustrated. Just keep running the ball!
Plan for fumbles
There will be fumbles in football and with eating, but just because you mess up at one meal does not mean the whole day is a waste. You have plenty of tries to get right back on track.
So many of us eat a donut in the morning or a bite-size candy bar and then say "oh well" to the rest of the day. Don't let that be you; get up and try again.
Throw a challenge flag every once and awhile
Sometimes you have to challenge yourself to get ahead, just like in a football game where there is a questionable call. That could be challenging yourself to skip dessert one weekend night, to take a harder class at the gym or to choose a lighter lunch when all your friends are eating chips and guacamole. Those who challenge themselves usually come out on top. Every day doesn't require challenge, but sometimes it can push you ahead.
Celebrate moderately
In football, we all see players go crazy after a touchdown and then get called for a penalty. While they now allow some dancing, going overboard can do you in…just like with eating. If it's a birthday or special occasion, splurge some and enjoy it. The key is eat what you want and not everything you've ever wanted. Going overboard often might cause a penalty in the game of eating, at least at your waistline.

Central Wisconsin Days
Last week, Central Wisconsin Days 2014 convened for a day and a half in Madison. There, I joined Heart of Wisconsin Chamber leaders, regional business leaders, state officials- elected and appointed, and my local counterpart representatives to bring our economic development interests and challenges in Central Wisconsin to Madison. Central Wisconsin's economic vitality and its ability to remain competitive with other areas- regional and beyond- depends on the engagement and interaction of local representatives in the idea-sharing of issues having regional significance. As local representatives, we are closest to our people's challenges and opportunities, therefore, it is important to speak with our state lawmakers and administration officials.
Central Wisconsin Days is held annually in Madison and organized by Centergy. For those unfamiliar with Centergy, it is the Central Wisconsin Alliance for Economic Development- a non-profit organization consisting of businesses, chambers, convention and visitors bureaus, educational institutions, cities and individuals- working together to improve the region's business climate and civic infrastructure. Centergy's mission is to align resources, encourage cooperation among all sectors of our regional economy, and promote the value of doing business in Wisconsin-to stimulate measurable economic development.
It is no question that thriving communities are key to Wisconsin's long-term success and sustainability and that strong community and municipal partnerships are crucial to having successful communities. The Central Wisconsin Days event included valuable sessions on:
- Legislative Visits- Our large group divided into smaller groups to, in effect, 'swarm the Capitol'. We visited with our state representatives and those serving on committees important to our legislative agenda. The groups advocated for the enumeration of the Highway 54 bypass, important to the redevelopment of the former Domtar site in Port Edwards. Other topics included, spanning from fostering small business growth, enhancing tourism and economic development, to housing and real estate, energy & utilities and state & local finance. These conversations allowed participants to get pressing and relevant issues in front of legislators. Their session is coming to a close but consideration for the next state budget remains.
- In addition to the legislative visits, our group heard several presentations by Cabinet Secretarys or their representatives from the Department of Transportation, Department of Administration and the Department of Workforce Development, to name a few.
The topics discussed at Central Wisconsin Days, all very important to our City, reminded me that our City is not alone in many of our challenges- economic and others. Meetings such as this with representatives and businesses of neighboring municipalities and state legislators affords us the opportunity to have discussion and advocate for action steps supporting economic development in cities.
Chamber Annual Awards Dinner – Recognition
Last week, I acknowledged the recipients of the Heart of Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce's annual awards and recognition. In doing so, I unintentionally omitted an important recipient of recognition at the meeting. I want to congratulate the Wisconsin Rapids Kiwanis Club, who brought home the night's Shining Star Award. The Kiwanis Club was a truly deserving recipient of the award for all of the involvement they have in supporting youth in our community. I thank the group for all the work they do in our community!
ARTi Gras 2014
A celebration of the Arts will take place Thursday March 6th-9th and is a collaborative effort by the Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre and the Central Wisconsin Cultural Center. The days and evenings are packed with events, some one-of-a-kind! Guest comedians will return to their roots of Wisconsin Rapids on Friday, and a Masquerade Ball is planned Saturday night. I commend the two organizations for joining forces to make this event possible. I hope to see you at one or more of the events! View event details here.
Coffee with the Mayor
Last week, I held a discussion session at Perkins Family Restaurant. I am glad residents are attending to ask questions and provide me feedback. I always enjoy the opportunity to meet and have conversation!
This Wednesday, March 5th, I will be at The Olympic II Family Restaurant, 2520 8th Street South, from 8:30AM-9:30AM. Spread the word to friends and neighbors.
Mayor Zach Vruwink

>Laura from Ziggy's Blog is here again today to guest post about Valentine's Day. Let's leave her lots of love on this day of love, ok?
When you think about what Valentine's Day stands for, most people think love, romance, husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, but what about us single (divorced) folks? I have been divorced since 1998 and I've been too busy to devote myself to another relationship. I do have two daughters, so every Valentine's Day, I take off work early (while the girls aren't home) and I decorate. I place heart balloons & streamers above the table, add a Valentine's tablecloth. I pull out the "good" china (that we never eat on). Tulips are my favorite flower, so I buy me some tulips for the centerpiece & add candles. I then fix their favorites, which is usually chicken nuggets, french fries & corn-on-the-cob. Then me and my two daughters have a candlelit supper. Even though I have done this every year since 1998, my girls still love it.
Valentine's Day is a day of love, and you can use that day to show those in your life just how much you love and care for them. Even though I tell my girls that I love them a hundred times a day, on Valentine's day, I like to go that extra mile to show them just how special they are to me.
Happy Valentine's Day my friends. How do you show your special one extra special love today?

March 17 2016
It started as a radio series and is one half the way through analysing 50 of the most important figures from Indian history. Now, Professor Sunil Kulnani has published an accompanying book and we were there at a launch…
By Chitra Mogul
THE STERILE treatment of Indian history is what prompted King's College India Institute director Sunil Khilnani to write "Incarnations: India in 50 lives". He hoped it would lead "to a deeper, more engaged conversation about the past".
Speaking at Asia House in Central London, the academic who is the author of "The Idea of India" (1997) said the country had historically a diverse energy – and that was especially relevant now that "it's multiplicity of ideas has been reduced into a single religious chorus singing to one tune", he argued.
He felt it was time to set aside some of the myths about the past and take a deeper look at the individuals that people Indian history and their effect on the present. The talk was followed by a Q&A with the audience.
"Incarnations" is based on the BBC Radio 4 programme of the same name. The first 25 biographies were broadcast last summer and the final 25 started on March 1.
He explains that the book covers poets, artists, kings and mathematicians, some little known and some misunderstood. "I see the radio programmes as a gateway drug that leads to a deeper more immersive experience which I hope the book will have."
He said that compelling and complicated figures like Mahatma Gandhi had been converted into "cartoon figures unrecognisable as human beings. One of my aims is to demythologise history in order to humanise it," he added at the Asia House talk last Thursday (March 10)
He said what had driven India forward historically had been the spirit of dissent.
"The rabble rousers and critics that I mention in my book take on customs in spectacular and imaginative fashion. They have contributed more to India's current incarnation than is acknowledged."
Swami Vivekananda, a critic of the Hindu religion and the monk who who introduced yoga and Hinduism to the west, Khilnani said, had been "turned into a mascot for the Hindu right."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has claimed to be an admirer of Vivekananda and the monk is also claimed by the right-wing RSS party that nurtured Modi's rise.
In other words, Khilnani argues Vivekananda's real historical and spiritual legacy was being reduced to a form of partisan politics the philosopher would have not endorsed, in all likelihood.
Another often misunderstood figure that features in his book is Gautama Buddha (5th century BCE) said Khilnani.
Buddha was a political radical who "envisaged a different polity". After a long suppression in India, Khilnani remarked "Buddha burst back on the scene in the 20th century through the Dalit leader BR Ambedkar."
Ambedkar converted to Buddhism due to his disillusionment with Hinduism and the caste system. "It has made the Buddha today an icon in the struggle against the caste system," he added.
Khilnani refers to a manuscript from Mysore that dates back to before the common era and contradicts the stereotype of India as a land of purely mystical traditions.
He said the manuscript displayed thinking that made Machiavelli look like a "gentle lamb". He was referring to Charaka or Kautilya who counselled kings in the art of disinformation. And manipulation.
Khilnani pointed out that the "dialogue, cunning and deceit" espoused by Charaka has come to be used as a guide to corporate success today.
"The Pakistan army prescribes Kautilya to trainee officers to gain insight into the devious Indian mind," he said to appreciative laughter from the audience.
Another myth had to do with the condition of Indian women being uniformly miserable. "There is, in fact, a huge difference between the North and the South where there are high rates of literacy," he said. He said that Periyar, the Tamil rationalist and atheist waged an intellectual war against upper caste Northerners and pressed for greater equality for women and their rights.
According to Khilnani Periyar believed women could never be emancipated by men. "Periyar said women would have to free themselves through their own personal and political action."
Some of the most damaging stereotypes in his book refer to women. "Given the deep roots of Indian patriarchy, there are few records of women leaders," he added. He deplored the fact that there only six women featured in the book saying he was hamstrung by lack of sources as he only featured figures whose stories are backed by archaeological evidence.
Khilnani says he was inspired by how rigid and suppressive societies could be transformed by the power of dissent.
In this context he speaks of Gandhi but asks the audience to see him with more nuance. He speaks of how Gandhi's eccentricities were balanced by his little known brilliance as a strategist. "A guy who could have taught Steve Jobs a thing to two about branding," he commented.
The ones who didn't make the cut due to lack of evidence are the Cholas and its famous King Rajendra Chola as there isn't much information on him as an individual. The 13th century queen Raziya Sultana was left out for want of documentary evidence and so was Noor Jehan from the Muslim Indian period. Mathematicians like Lilavati are people who need to be commemorated he added.
He felt India had failed to live up to her full potential. "One way in which an open society is able to understand its potential is by understanding its history.
"To enrich and deepen our conversation about the past here are 50 biographies to get the conversation started.
"Let's make them come alive for a younger generation. There is a strong strain of rationalist though and character as seen in the life of Charaka. I would like to see more discussion about them," added Khilnani.
In reply to an audience member he said his personal favourites from the book are Periyar, Amrita Sher-Gil and Raj Kapoor.
Asia House is a business and cultural institute which promotes business and learning between Asian countries and the UK.

Basically, I was trying to get every tweet (in the case above, I got 200 tweets) from an account, and pick up the nouns and adjectives from each tweet, then matched them together in a corresponding way to show the writer's opinions toward different objects (nouns).
I downloaded the nouns list and adjectives list from the Internet, by checking the words in tweets with words in nouns and adjectives list, python will pick the words in tweets as nouns or adjectives and match them together.
To be honest, I was not that satisfied about the outcomes. Because it is really hard to cover one's taste by using limited pieces of words. I have been thinking about making more structures and logics to make the outcomes more reasonable and accurate. However, I found that the grammar and many idiomatic expressions are totally beyond my power. Anyway, it was a good shot for me to further this idea and deepen my thesis idea as well. Maybe it works not good, but the experience I have got from this mid-term project would definitely be helpful for me to do some other experiments along with this idea.

Most of my life's struggles have been battling the demons within myself. I lived in a selfish bubble as a child that popped one day and left me strewn in a thousand pieces on the hot, sticky cement—divorce, depression, division. Broken into so many shards, I strove to find a unitied persona—a me I could understand or even pretend to be. No one realizes how hard it is just to be sometimes. No one realizes the strength it takes to awaken every morning and exist in some solid state. For a very long time I didn't. I sought to escape. But being an inherently prudish child, I didn't escape through drugs or alcohol, sadly, but art and imagination. I read, still read, all the time, and when my mind longed to jump towards darker waters, I put down the knife and picked up the pencil. Then I designed, or painted, or sang, or spent a few hours dancing in my head with some celebrity crush. Yes, I was, and still am, very much in my head most of the time. That's probably why I started writing. My head was filled with so many things I couldn't express through fashion and charcoal, I tried words. It was a beautiful union, like punk-rockers to headbanging, or gel to messy curls, it just fit. Now originally, I was going to say I do what I do because I have so much imagination to spill forth on blank lives, and I need to do this art and become famous to help heal others. But, then I philosophized and pondered, stroking my non-existent beard for wisdom, and talking with my older, and far more intelligent, sister. I discovered that it was still a struggle to awaken every morning and exist, but I wrote, not just to release the idea-monsters clouding my head, but because writing gave a legitimate existence to my life. I don't know who I am necessarily, but I know I love to create. No matter what I do, I love the tangible practice of making something. When I create, I create me. I am me. I am the only me I really know. I write because it's how I prove I exist, how I show the world who I am, and how I create and find joy in myself. And because I want to help others to find this same escape and identity through art.

Many are feeling the intense energies coming in as of late. Few are adjusting to these energies well exhibiting emotional outbursts, totally irrational behavior and body symptoms due to the influx of these energies. The source of these energies is multifold. The eclipse and planetary alignments is part of this yet these natural cycles are used and often amplified by the higher dimensional beings.
Many light workers are being used as transmitters of this higher consciousness and energy. This is often felt as tingling in the crown chakra as the energies come in, which need to be transmitted through the heart. If you are experiencing headaches, nausea, dizziness and imbalance, heart palpitations, electrical discharges from the hands (shocks), etc this can be side affects to these energies. It is important to send these energies out, become like a hollow bone allowing these energies to clear out anything within self and…

Dollhouse [Sing-A-Long Saturday]
Posted October 10, 2009on:
So, keeping with the theme of "Dollhouse" today…
I've been hearing this song on the radio a lot lately. Being a pop song, it's not perfect, but I think it has a good message…
The song "Dollhouse" by Priscilla Renea is about how her boyfriend treats her poorly and orders her around and how she's not going to take it anymore. She sings about how he has this picture of a perfect girl that she used to try to be, but can't anymore. He orders her around, she likes what he likes because he told her to, but now she's realized that it's a bad relationship and is out.
The chorus goes like this:
I tried to be a picture perfect girl
But you were in your own fantasy world
Tryna control me like some kind of Barbie
but that just ain't me
Cause I ain't a doll, this aint a dollhouse
You're way too old to be, puttin me down like this
and playing around like this
I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse
No, I could never be, stuck living life like this
behind these four walls,cause I ain't a doll
I like that this song is popular and plays on the radio a lot. I'm sick of hearing all the songs about either the "perfect" relationship or songs that sexualizes, objectify, and oppress women. I think that this song could have the potential to empower girls and women. It could show girls and women that they don't have to take being in a relationship with this kind of man. But, like I said, it's not perfect because it is made to appeal to the mass population and therefore reflects some of the sexist societal norms.
I really like the end of the song:
And I come with imperfections
Epitome of perfection
if you can't understand, loving the way I am
then you're no good for me, so glad i kept my receipt
2 Responses to "Dollhouse [Sing-A-Long Saturday]"
what 'sexist societal norms' did you see? i didn't think anything about this was sexist. i don't really like the music, but i think it's great for what it is.

Canada (IPA: /ˈkænədə/) is a country occupying most of northern North
America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area,[2] and shares land borders with the United States to the south and northwest.
The lands have been inhabited for millennia by various groups of
aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces.[3][4][5] This began an accretion of additional provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, highlighted by the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and culminating in the Canada Act in 1982 which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.
A federation now comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as official languages at the federal level. Technologically advanced and industrialized, Canada maintains a diversified economy that is heavily reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade—particularly with the United States, with which
Canada has a long and complex relationship.
Etiquette in Canada, the clothing, in different places have different garb. In the Church, men with a dark suit and tie, woman wearing style stately blouse. At the wedding, the man wearing a suit or, or clothes, dressed in plain clothes without a tie. Women are not dressed too bright, so as to avoid distracting, but is not suitable for wearing white or beige range of clothing, as symbol of pure white color is part of the bride. The wedding in the Church, man to a dark suit and tie, a woman wearing a blouse and solemn. To your friends house or banquets, men to wear dark suits, women package should wear style stately blouse, you can take a makeup, should not be too dense. As was the informal dinner, or are very familiar with, men can wear a different color of jacket and trousers, ladies glove with full or dresses, fashion colors should not be too prominent, style should not be too strange. In Canada the funeral, men with full suit, plain or black tie, women wear plain dress, fashion to conservative, iced and excessive makeup, to show himself on his condolences. Canada young people love that reflect the rhythm of modern life, so that the dress code is smart, capable people of clothing, such as denim clothing is very popular.
People in Canada and the British beauty on cuisine customs. Due to the climate coldness, they developed a love to eat baked food habits, this is their unique characteristics. Canada's fork eating, very loving edible roast beef, especially the eight mature steak, habits after dinner coffee and fruit. Canada people in eating well dishes of nutritional quality, preference and
sweet to pasta, rice, Supplement to the Hi eat beef, chicken, eggs, sardines, and tomatoes, onions, potatoes, cucumbers, etc. Spices like using tomato sauce, butter, etc. They have to drink brandy, champagne hobby. Canada people not eat shrimp sauce, fish sauce, bean curd and unpleasant smell, the smell of food and animal offal.
In Canada, the party is to flower shop and buy a bunch of flowers to the host, to express their gratitude. At the dinner table, the primary objective of men and women sitting in men and women in General were the owner of the right hand side. Before you print a napkin, Indian lips to keep fresh and clean. At table, left hand right hand fork, knife, knife after use, on the edge of the plate. Eat not to produce sound, not talking, not in public with a toothpick, don't bring your own cutlery set to another location. Canada considered correct and elegant to eat-phase is a gentleman. In Canada, engaged in business activities for the first time we met generally must first introduce myself, in the oral presentation on a business card at the same time as delivery. Canada people like people praise his clothes, watches, or to ask about Canada Customs, tourist attraction. In this way, both sides start will find a common language. Conversation is not appropriate to ask each other's age, income and private life, this causes their discontent and unrest.
In business activities, the best free gifts with national characteristics, comparative exquisite crafts. Gifts to gift paper wrapped with a piece of writing with each other and the name of the gift card. Attend the business of the party, as each other in the invitation on the "do not shower", then you should respect the host's comments, don't carry gifts at the banquet.
In business negotiations, to focus on, don't be absent-minded, looking around or to interrupt speech. In formal negotiations, neat, elegant clothes. Canada has a strong sense of time, they will notify you in advance to participate in the activities of the time, too early to arrive, if you have something a little late to minutes, they are generally not accounting, you do not have to be too much explanation. Negotiations do not involve religious beliefs, sex or refute their political views toavoid misunderstandings and disputes.

Do you know that beside The Arab the Moors inherited the mighty architectural building in Spain and Portugal, they were also inherit the DNA and Genetic to Spanish and Portuguese People.Spaniard (people from Spain) and Portuguese (people from Portugal) nowadays only know that after the arab and the moors are expelled out of Spain meaning their gen their DNA are free of the gene and DNA of Arab and the moors berber (nort africa).
They did not know that The Descendant Arab and Moors were Having Blond and Blue Eyes.
That they don't know is that during Arab and Moors ruling most of iberian peninsula, the arab the moors the north africa DNA gene and blood are mixed and interchange with spanish and portuguese DNA gene.
Differences in religion and culture led to a centuries-long conflict with the Christian kingdoms of Europe, which tried to reclaim control of Muslim areas; this conflict was referred to as the Reconquista. In 1224 the Muslims were expelled from Sicily to the settlement of Lucera, which was destroyed by European Christians in 1300.
The fall of Granada in 1492 marked the end of Muslim rule in Iberia, although a Muslim minority persisted until their expulsion in 1609
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors
In 711, troops mostly formed by Moors from North Africa led the Umayyad conquest of Hispania. The Iberian peninsula then came to be known in classical Arabic as Al-Andalus, which at its peak included most of Septimania and modern-day Spain and Portugal.
In 827, the Moors occupied Mazara on Sicily, developing it as a port.[9] They eventually consolidated the rest of the island and some of southern Italy. Differences in religion and culture led to a centuries-long conflict with the Christian kingdoms of Europe, which tried to reclaim control of Muslim areas; this conflict was referred to as the Reconquista. In 1224 the Muslims were expelled from Sicily to the settlement of Lucera, which was destroyed by European Christians in 1300.
The fall of Granada in 1492 marked the end of Muslim rule in Iberia, although a Muslim minority persisted until their expulsion in 1609.
How was that happened?
First, when the Arab Moors conquered the most of iberian peninsula the hispania, most of them are male armies. The lack of female is existed. Do yo think the will married sex breed with the horse ?? the camel ??
The Moors utilised ethnic European slaves: 1/12 of Iberian population were slave Europeans, less than 1% of Iberia were Moors and more than 99% were native Iberians. Periodic Arab and Moorish raiding expeditions were sent from Islamic Iberia to ravage the remaining Christian Iberian kingdoms, bringing back stolen goods and slaves. In a raid against Lisbon in 1189, for example, the Almohad caliph Yaqub al-Mansur held 3,000 females and children as captives, while his governor of Córdoba, in a subsequent attack upon Silves, held 3,000 Christian slaves in 1191. In addition, the Christian Iberians who lived within Arab and Moorish-ruled territories were subject to specific laws and taxes for state protection.
The medieval Iberian Peninsula was the scene of almost constant warfare among Muslims and Christians (though not always aligned by religion). Periodic raiding expeditions were sent from Al-Andalus to ravage the Christian Iberian kingdoms, bringing back booty and people. For example, in a raid on Lisbon in 1189 the Almohad caliph Yaqub al-Mansur took 3,000 female and child captives, and his governor of Córdoba took 3,000 Christian slaves in a subsequent attack upon Silves in 1191.
For 780 years the Arab Moors dominated the iberian peninsula. Meaning the are the champion of war they are superior. They will married sex breed the beautifull white blonde female of spanish and portuguese people. In Moslem life, the male is allowed to marry 4 wive and many harem/concubine. The number of harem for one moslem owner in medieval islam are vary from 1 to 15,000 females !!!
The Imperial Harem of the Ottoman Empire occupied one of the large sections of the private apartments of the sultan at the Topkapi Palace which encompassed more than 400 rooms.
Ismail ibn Sharif holds the distinction of fathering probably the maximum number of children in history – not surprisingly he also had one of the largest harems, housing more than five hundred concubines2. The Moroccan ruler was second in line of the Moroccan Alaouite dynasty and reigned from 1672 to 1727. Like other members of the dynasty, Moulay Ismail too claimed to be a descendant of Muhammad through his roots to Hassan ibn Ali. Known in his native country as the "Warrior King", Ismail fought the Ottoman Turks and gained respect for Moroccan sovereignty. Today though he is widely known for another reason, that of fathering more than eight hundred children.

5,000,000 inhabitans of Moslem Moors Kingdom are descendant of native iberian (also blond and blue eyes) who convert to Islam. It means mixed married with Arab and Moors DNA Gene.
Though the number of Moorish colonists was small, many native Iberian inhabitants converted to Islam. By 1000, according to Ronald Segal, some 5,000,000 of Iberia's 7,000,000 inhabitants, most of them descended from indigenous Iberian converts, were Muslim. There were also Sub-Saharan Africans who had been absorbed into al-Andalus to be used as soldiers and slaves.
The Moors Prince are blonde hair and blue eyes just their mother
The Moors ruled North Africa and Al-Andalus for several centuries thereafter.[29] Ibn Hazm, the polymath, mentions that many of the Caliphs in the Umayyad Caliphate and the Caliphate of Córdoba were blond and had light eyes.[30] Ibn Hazm mentions that he preferred blondes, and notes that there was much interest in blondes in al-Andalus amongst the rulers and regular Muslims:
All the Caliphs of the Banu Marwan (God have mercy on their souls!), and especially the sons of al-Nasir, were without variation or exception disposed by nature to prefer blondes. I have myself seen them, and known others who had seen their forebears, from the days of al-Nasir's reign down to the present day; every one of them has been fair-haired, taking after their mothers, so that this has become a hereditary trait with them; all but Sulaiman al-Zafir (God have mercy on him!), whom I remember to have had black ringlets and a black beard. As for al-Nasir and al-Hakam al-Mustansir (may God be pleased with them!), I have been informed by my late father, the vizier, as well as by others, that both of them were blond and blue-eyed.
The same is true of Hisham al-Mu'aiyad, Muhammad al-Mahdi, and `Abd al-Rahman al-Murtada (may God be merciful to them all!); I saw them myself many times, and had the honour of being received by them, and I remarked that they all had fair hair and blue eyes.[31]FYI The Spaniards also kidnapped the Half Arab Moors Half Blond Moslem
An offensive by Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1182 brought him over two-thousand Muslim slaves.
The Christian Iberia Also sold the Moslem Women to Genoa
The Christian kingdoms of Iberia frequently traded their Muslim captives back across the border for payments of money or kind. Indeed, historian James Broadman writes that this type of redemption offered the best chance for captives and slaves to regain their freedom.[87] The sale of Muslim captives, either back to the Islamic southern states or to third-party slave brokers, supplied one of the means by which Aragon and Castile financed the Reconquista. Battles and sieges provided large numbers of captives; after the siege of Almeria in 1147, sources report that Alfonso VII of León sent almost 10,000 of the city's Muslim women and children to Genoa to be sold into slavery as partial repayment of Genoese assistance in the campaign.
Do you think the christian male of Castile (spain and portuguese) and Male on other Christian Kingdom in Europe only watch the beautiful exotic mixed breed Moors? Of course not, the will breed sex or maybe in the near future married them or their descendant under castile captivity.
Remember that some of Moors Moslem are blond and blue eyes. Others were exotic as they were mixed between Arab Moors (Northern Africa) and The Blond Native of Spanish and Portuguse.
Mixed Married between Arab Moors and Jews
If there is lack of female Jew, do you think the male only stand still? They are married the arab the moors also the blond.
Gene Test Shows Spain's Jewish and Muslim Mix
Mixed Married though Trade
Arab Moors married the British Cornish through Medieval Trade
Many Youtube Videos are showing DNA Ancestry of Portuguese Spanish and Latin People are contain Arab Moors (North Africa) genetic.
See the some of videos here
These videos (DNA test result) disclosed that after Reconquista 1492 many descendant of arab moors moslem (who some of them are blond and blue eyes) and Jewish descendant were converted to christian for the sake of survival.

Do Singaporeans even look at their own fears?
"By the simple measure that art should serve a socially transformative purpose, it may be failing in Singapore. And this failure may mean our politics is stuck in a rut, ancient assumptions unquestioned, old antagonisms unresolved, longstanding fears unbanished. The spectre of OB markers haunt us still. What has long needed to be said remains unsaid. Would Tarn How's new play finally kickstart a reexamination of ourselves, as a starting point for a new look at our state and society, and ourselves?"

There does not seem to be a "Set in Block" function in Rocweb(xs)?
This is an issue for operating with mobile throttles. In andRoc there is a Set in Block function.
Here is the reason:
I have a loc that is not in the necessary starting block for the schedule to be run (it is in the shed or another block.
So I manually operate the loc to bring it to the block (Yard departure track) where it's wagons (train) are waiting te be picked up.
In andRoc I can now call the required block from the list and use the Set In Block button to put the loc in the required block.
I can then call the required schedule starting in that block and start the train on it's way.
I try to do the same with Rocweb but get stuck at the point of setting the loc in the block since there does not seem to be such a function? I read the wiki. The only function is an assign train but this does not set the starting block.
So: Is there a Set-In-Block function in Rocweb that I have missed, or is it simply missing?
In other words how does one set a loc in a starting block in Rocweb?
If it is missing then I would request it be added so that it works like the andRoc function.
