In November of 2014, we received a video in our email from Ryan Burke. He told us he had confronted a fake Ranger in Pennsylvania at the Oxford Valley Mall. Little did we know, at the time that this video would have a huge impact in not only furthering our mission but also stoking the fires of change under some lawmakers.
Once we viewed the video, it was obvious that the person in the video, later found out to be Sean Yetman, was no Ranger. Ryan, asked Yetman, a series of questions about his uniform and his service that any Soldier should have been able to answer. He then called out Yetman on his three CIB's, Yetman claimed he got all of them for Iraq and Afghanistan, which is impossible. The video racked up more than 4 million views in four days, sparking national media attention and lawmakers started to notice as well. You can see the original story including the video here – Sean Yetman Busted for Stolen Valor.
A few days later, we received an email from a lawmaker in Pennsylvania, who was also serving in the National Guard. He asked if we would put support behind a Stolen Valor bill for their state. Of course, we agreed and provided testimony for the bill.
Here we are, almost 3 years later and the Governor signed the Pennsylvania Stolen Valor Law or House Bill 168 into law on June, 27th 2017. This bill sets a sort of precedent, because of the way it is written to be almost all-inclusive, but being very careful not to cross into abridgment of Free Speech. For those who may not know, here is a brief history of the Stolen Valor laws and where we are today.
The Federal Stolen Valor Act:
"Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech. . . ." ~First Amendment
The original Stolen Valor Act of 2005, signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 20, 2006, was a U.S. law that broadened the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wear, manufacture, or sale of any military decorations and medals. The law made it a federal misdemeanor to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal. If convicted, defendants might have been imprisoned for up to six months, unless the decoration lied about is the Medal of Honor, in which case imprisonment could have been up to one year. In United States v. Alvarez the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 28, 2012, that the Stolen Valor Act was an unconstitutional abridgment of the freedom of speech under the First Amendment, striking down the law in a 6 to 3 decision. Because the statute, as drafted, applied even in family, social, or other private contexts where lies will often cause little harm; it includes few other limits on its scope, and it creates too significant a burden on protected speech.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for a plurality consisting of himself, Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, wrote that 'counter-speech' was a sufficient solution to the problem: "It is a fair assumption that any true holders of the Medal who had heard of Alvarez's false claims would have been fully vindicated by the community's expression of outrage… Truth needs neither handcuffs nor a badge for its vindication." In other words, Kennedy was saying that Counter-Speech or the Truth as posted online about Alvarez, and the communities outrage at his false claims was enough. This is basically what we do here, although sometimes they do end up in handcuffs.
Lawmakers went back to the drawing board, and a year later on January 15th, 2013 Representative Joe Heck introduced the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 or H.R. 258. The bill was signed into law by President Barack Obama on June 3, 2013.
The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service to subject to a fine, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both for an individual who, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds himself or herself out to be a recipient of:
- a Medal of Honor (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard)
- a Distinguished Service Cross,
- a Navy Cross,
- an Air Force Cross,
- a Silver Star,
- a Purple Heart,
- a Combat Infantryman's Badge,
- a Combat Action Badge,
- a Combat Medical Badge,
- a Combat Action Ribbon,
- a Combat Action Medal, or
- any replacement or duplicate medal for such medal as authorized by law.
So the new law was basically stripped of any provisions that could be considered free speech. You must claim one of the awards listed above AND intend to get something of tangible benefit. As far as we know only one person has been prosecuted under this act since its inception.
State's Step Up to Fill the Gap:
Several states already had "Stolen Valor" type laws in the books, Pennsylvania was not one. After the video of Sean Yetman was uploaded to YouTube, lawmakers took notice. Representative Rick Saccone had tried unsuccessfully to get this law passed before, he said
"In the near future, I plan to introduce a bill that would make it a crime to fraudulently present oneself as a soldier or a veteran of any branch of the armed forces, or to be the recipient of a service medal or other military decoration when it is done with the intention of obtaining money, property, of other benefits. This is a reintroduction of HB 2050 from last session, which passed the House unanimously 197-0. Criminalized behavior would range from lying to receive veteran or health care benefits to fraudulently obtaining preference in a government contract or a job reserved for a veteran.
While the bill does not criminalize simply lying about one's military service and accomplishments, I would nevertheless emphasize that this legislation is not simply about unfairly obtaining an economic benefit. This kind of fraud is despicable and, in particular, it is terribly disrespectful to our nation's veterans.
Please join me in recognizing and protecting the valor and integrity of our military awards, along with the men and women who have earned them."
Why does Pennsylvania law stand out? Here is the bill in its entirety:
(a) A person is guilty of a summary offense if, without authority, he:
(1) wears or displays the uniform, decoration, insignia or other distinctive emblems of any branch of the armed forces of the United States or of any of the several states, or of any association, for the purpose of obtaining aid or profit, or while soliciting contributions or subscriptions; or
(2) wears an honorable discharge button issued or authorized by the United States.
(b) Misrepresentation of military service or honors.–A person commits a misdemeanor of the third degree if, with intent to obtain money, property or other benefits, the person fraudulently holds himself out to be any of the following:
(1) A member or veteran of any branch of the armed forces of the United States or of any of the several states.
(2) The recipient of any decoration or medal authorized by the Congress of the United States for the armed forces of the United States or any of the service medals or any decoration awarded to members of the armed forces of the United States or of any of the several states.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
The difference is this law makes it a crime if you claim to be a Veteran, claim ANY medals or decorations awarded to members of the armed forces and you intend to defraud. You don't even have to commit fraud, you just have to intend to.
In signing the PA Stolen Valor Act into law, Governor Tom Wolfe had this to say:
"This new law makes it a crime to impersonate a soldier, a veteran of the armed services, or a recipient of a service medal or decoration in order to gain access to benefits, resources, or job opportunities that we set aside specifically for those who have heroically served our country," Governor Wolf said. "This legislation is incredibly important because Pennsylvania has the fourth-largest veteran population in the country and it is our duty to be certain that benefits for those veterans are available to those who have earned them."
"An individual commits this crime if they intend to benefit by fraudulently presenting themselves as a member of the armed serves and/or the recipient of a military award," Rep. Saccone said. "Criminalized behavior would range from lying to receive veteran or health care benefits to fraudulently obtaining preference in a government contract or a job reserved for a veteran."
Pennsylvania is the sixth state since 2014 to pass or amend Stolen Valor laws. We have written and given personal testimony to these states lawmakers to help get these laws implemented. We hope others will follow suit.

This post contains affiliate links.There's never enough time in school counseling. Never enough time to plan and prepare, never enough time to meet with students, never enough time to effectively use data...the list goes on. One thing I did this past summer to be better prepared for my individual sessions was create a collection of issue-specific color coded questions.
Students pick one of several games that have colors or numbers or that you can put colored stickers on (CandyLand, Let's Go Fishing, JENGA, Chutes and Ladders, Connect Four, Don't Break the Ice, Uno, etc.) and they respond to prompts specific to their issue(s) as we play. The prompts are written so they can be answered multiple times in different ways, so it's totally fine for someone to land on/pull the same color/number more than once.
I typed them, colored them, laminated them, then put them on a key ring that I hang on the side of a bookcase for easy use.
Students, no matter what age, are always excited about getting to play a game. I've very rarely encountered any resistance to using these prompts while we play. In some games, the color/number chosen is random. In others, the students choose which allows them to direct the discussions more by selecting what prompts to respond to.

I was blessed with another opportunity to go on an international mission trip / vacation for a few weeks this summer. And it was certainly an adventure every step of the way!! And because it's me, you know this will be picture overload!
Last year I went to Romania with a group called Adventures in Missions (AIM) and I loved it so much I signed up for another trip as soon as I made it back to the states. I landed on Ireland for the next mission trip and even convinced my friend Hannah to travel with me! We decided to make it a little adventure and stay in London for a few days once the Mission portion of the trip ended. We made all the arrangements with flights and hotels to Ireland and London, when, about a month and half before we were set to go God intervened and decided Ireland was not where we should be sent. And a few days letter I got word that we were being sent to Montenegro!! Montenegro was formed not to long ago, after the Yugoslav war that separated into 5 little countries. It is across the Adriatic Sea from Italy and right above Albania.
So after wrapping my head around the fact that the location had changed once again I was geared up and ready to go! Getting there was going to be a little bit of a trek as the entire team had already made travel arrangements to Ireland. AIM still had us meet up there and then we would be able to travel the rest of the way to Montenegro together.
Hannah and I got to Ireland the day before we were supposed to meet up with the rest of the team and were excited to see what Dublin had to offer! But unfortunately, London Airport decided they needed my luggage more than I did and didn't put it on the plane with me. After throwing a little fit at the thought of not having my luggage during the trip, Hannah loaned me some clothes and we ventured into downtown Dublin to a pub one of the attorneys I work for suggested we go to, The Brazen Head, it is the oldest pub in Dublin. It was jammed packed and had live music, but we were too late for food so we didn't stay long.
The next morning, I had my lovely Mother on the phone with American Airlines trying to locate my still missing bag (that I was told was still in Dallas even though it was in London), while Hannah and I got ready to head back to the airport to meet the rest of our team. As we were printing off our tickets and getting ready to go through security my Mom text me to tell me my bag was on a plane heading to Dublin! As luck would have it(my luck, not their luck), two girls from my team were held up at the London customs and when they were released (that's another story of it's own) they were on the same flight! So since we were waiting on them, I got to wait on my bag that fortunately made it just in time!
Relieved that I had my stuff we made it on to the never ending saga of travel to Montenegro. First we flew from Dublin to Germany where we ran, (I do mean ran, as in break out in a sweat run) through the airport, rushed through customs to run down the tarmac to our plane heading towards Austria. Where when we landed there had to do the same thing to catch our next plane to Albania. My passport makes it look like I'm quiet the world traveler even though it was mostly airport visits for 5 min :). We landed in Albania at 1 am where we waited for a bus that picked us up at 1:30 am. (PS all luggage was accounted for!) We drove through the night and arrived in Sveti Stasije, Montenegro to watch the sun come up on the most beautiful oasis I have ever seen. Pictures do no do this place justice!
Now the people of Montenegro, we were told, sleep in until around 10 everyday, so for most of us our apartment's were not ready when we got there. Fortunately Alecs, our translator, was there and took us down to Premier (the only restaurant in Sveti Stasije) while we waited for things to get ready. As tired as I was, I was happy to be in this beautiful place! After a few hours, our apartment was ready and we all were excited to take a much needed nap!! Katie, Ashley, Hannah and I shared an apartment.
After the much needed and appreciated nap, we headed back to premier for dinner and to get the low-down for the next day.
The next morning, my apartment group woke up a little early to venture down the local bakery for breakfast and to have quiet time on the beach. This is still one of my favorite parts of the trip. Such a serene place to start off the day!
The place below with the green shutters is a coffee shop were we set up home-base and handed out Bibles in the Serbian language.
Some people were receptive to our "poklon" (gift) while others were not. But I think that is to be expected anytime you do this particular mission work.
Next up, the hike up the wall of the Fortress.......

Générations Futures' investigation: 53.3% of food samples analysed on French market contained glyphosate residues
Paris/Brussels, 14 September 2017 – 53.3% of cereal- and leguminous products that are widely available in French supermarkets contain traces of glyphosate, demonstrate test results from Générations Futures (1). Glyphosate is the most widely-used herbicide globally and has been classified as "likely carcinogenic" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The EU will decide on the re-authorisation of the use of the herbicide this December.
In March 2015, a few months before the expiry date of the European license for glyphosate, experts from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified the substance as "likely carcinogenic" for humans. Since then, a battle of interest has been raging in Brussels. Numerous scientists and NGOs – supported by some member states including France – demand that this dangerous substance not be reauthorised. Over 1 million European citizens are also demanding action against glyphosate, increasing the pressure on European institutions even further (2). The EU will have to make a decision on the re-authorisation of glyphosate by 15 December 2017.
Why such an investigation?
Glyphosate is the most-used herbicide in the world. In France, 8,656 tons of glyphosate were sold in 2013 alone; that is equivalent to more than 1/8th of active pesticide substances sold that year. While everyone appears to be exposed to the herbicide, its presence in food is rarely investigated. It is against this backdrop that Générations Futures wanted to learn more about the extent to which food items in France are contaminated with glyphosate. The study made use of a specific research method for the sole detection of glyphosate and AMPA, glyphosate's main metabolite.
Study presentation
Considering the high cost of the investigation, Générations Futures decided to only include those food items that are already suspected to contain residues of glyphosate, namely cereal-based items and leguminous plants which include peas and lentils. A specialised laboratory analysed 30 food products that are widely available in supermarkets:
• 18 cereal-based samples: 8 samples of breakfast cereals, 7 samples of pasta, 3 other samples (dry breads, crackers)
• 12 samples of dry leguminous plants: 7 samples of lentils, 2 samples of chick peas, 2 samples of dry beans, 1 sample of split pea.
The test results show that 16 out of 30 samples, or 53.3% contain glyphosate.
• 7 out of the 8 breakfast cereals analysed (or 87.5%)
• 7 out of the 12 leguminous plants analysed (or 58.3%)
• 2 out of the 12 pastas analysed (or 28.5%)
• None of the other 3 cereal-based products (dry breads, crackers)
• AMPA – a product of glyphosate degradation, also called metabolite – was found in 3 samples, or 10% of the total.
"As illustrated by our investigation, the presence of glyphosate residues in the targeted food items is frequent and sometimes accompanied by the presence of the AMPA metabolite. This partly explains why those people tested for glyphosate residues are found to be contaminated, as shown by our glyphosate search in urine samples from April 2017", says François Veillerette, director and spokesperson of Générations Futures.
"It is therefore urgent for the European Union to abandon the use of this substance, which has been classified as likely carcinogenic by IARC, and to encourage a profound rethink of our agriculture model that has become excessively dependent on synthetic pesticides. France - through the voices of Ministers Hulot and Philippe - has declared itself against the re-authorisation of glyphosate. It will now have to convince other governments to join its opposition before EU ministers next discuss the re-authorisation of the pesticides on 5 and 6 October", he concludes.
"This study once again highlights the lack of robust European regulation on chemicals that contaminate our food – either through the use of toxic pesticides in agriculture or toxic chemicals in food wrappings", adds Genon K. Jensen, Executive Director of the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL). "When a pesticide that is likely carcinogenic and associated with numerous other health disorders is found in a majority of the food samples tested, it is time for our governments to take their responsibility. This should start by opposing the re-authorisation of glyphosate in the EU and overhauling the regulation on food packaging in order to protect citizens from the contamination of chemicals."

2. Over one million Europeans signed the European Citizens' Initiative to ban glyphosate, reform the EU pesticide approval process, and set mandatory targets to reduce pesticide use in the EU. This ECI has achieved the requirements set by the EU in less than five months, making it the fastest-growing ECI since the EU introduced this tool in 2012. https://stopglyphosate.org/en/

Friday, 07:46, Old Bethnal Green Road, London
Tomorrow I start my MBA at The Open University Business School. Unlike anything I've ever studied before, it's a part-time, distance-learning qualification, and, depending on how well I cope with…
1. Getting up at 5:45am to study
2. Reading on my daily commute to and from work
3. Committing a significant chunk of my weekend to it,
…it will take around three years to complete. I'm given the option to take it even slower and complete it in 7 years, but I don't see myself doing it in such a long time!
The main reasons I've chosen The OU MBA are as follows:
1. It seems to be a good course (but not in the top 10 UK programs
I've found out)
2. It's only £16k; unlike LBS that is £57k
3. It's part-time and distance-learning – the only way I can practically embark on this
4. If I don't finish all the modules, I still get a recognised post-graduate diploma or certificate
Although the course officially starts tomorrow, I've been preparing for it for about a month now, mainly to assess how I will be able to cope with everything when it all kicks off.
I don't have an answer yet, by the way.

From CNS News: A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official testified this week that Americans who are on the no-fly list because they have been linked to terrorism are permitted by the government to attend flight school and receive a pilot's license. However, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano also testified and said the TSA may not be aware of all the security precautions in place to stop a no-fly list person from getting a pilot's license.

2012 Camaro
From deep in the vaults of Chevrolet high performance, a revered name emerges from the legendary past. An engine, a car. The engine:
, originally victorious in the Can Am series of the 1960's, became available in the Corvette for one model year, 1969. This engine, which actually used the internals of the infamous
, was originally offered as an
engine block option for the Corvette,
so that it would be approved by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) for racing in the top sports car division, A / Production. Ironically, the
L88 Corvettes
were so dominant in SCCA and FIA racing, the aluminum engine block was essentially overkill.
Quarter mile drag racing was reaching a peak during this same time in the late '60s. Chevrolet needed something to compete against the likes of Hemi Darts, Hemi Cudas, and the soon to be released Boss 429 Mustang.
The Car: Camaro, was Chevrolet's youth machine, available with many features, styles, options and colors. The Camaro factory brochure only offered engines as large as 396 cubic inches (6.5 L).
Enter Fred Gibb, a small town Illinois Chevrolet dealer. Fred had been bitten by the racing bug a year earlier, and had used the fleet ordering service to purchase 50 1968 396/375HP Chevrolet Novas with automatic transmissions to satisfy the NHRA for drag racing approval. The 396 Novas sold quickly.
Fred met with Chevrolet executives and discussed racing opportunities for the 1969 Camaro. An agreement was made, and
50 ZL1 Camaros
were delivered to Fred Gibb Chevrolet in 1969. The ZL1 Camaro legend had been born.
The ZL1 Camaro is back, and its better than ever! The 2012 ZL1 Camaro has been designed for all types of track surfaces and high speed competition. A supercharged 550 HP LSA engine resides beneath the newly designed hood that contains a carbon fiber insert with air extractors. 20 inch wheels and tires combined with extra large disc brakes provide a serious level grip and stopping power, never seen in any previous Camaro.
The powerplant of the 2012 Camaro ZL1. The Supercharged LSA pumps out an easy 550 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque. There's room for more power in the supercharger, cylinder heads, camshaft profile, exhaust headers and pulley speeds. Yes, the 2012 Camaro ZL1 engine is all aluminum, just like its predecessor from 1969.
The ZL1 Camaro has a special hood. This hood has a carbon fiber insert with air extractors. These air extractors not only reduce the heat under the hood, but they work with the aerodynamics of the front splitter (spoiler) to provide more downforce at speed and thus creating a more stable car.
The color of the carbon fiber insert is a flat black and the stripe is carried over the roof and the trunk of the car to recreate a '60s style theme.
Although the engineers have gone to great lengths to design a complete package that hugs the road, I'm sure many owners will opt for serious Drag Racing duty on the weekends.
The interior of the 2012 Camaro ZL1 is exactly what you would expect from a modern performance car. It has heated leather seats with microfiber suede inserts, and ZL1 logos embroidered on the front headrests. Microfiber suede is repeated as an accent on the instrument panel, adding a richer look to the interior. The original 50 1969 ZL1 Camaros were delivered with a very spartan standard vinyl interior with no consoles. The 2012 ZL1 Camaro is a huge departure from its 1969 ancestor as far as amenities are concerned.
The 2012 ZL1 will include the same content as the current 2SS package and include the following new or unique features:
New Steering Wheel unique to the ZL1
Steering wheel audio controls with Bluetooth capability
Alloy Pedals
Heads-Up Display with unique peformance readouts
Wireless PDIM and USB-port
Boston Acoustics premium audio system
Unique instrument panel and door panel inserts; and ZL1-logo sill plates
Six-way power driver and passenger seats
Rear parking assist
Rear camera system (displayed in the inside rearview mirror).
The "Four-Pack" Gauges have a unique Boost readout for the ZL1. You will also find the controls for the Magnetic Ride Control. Selections of Tour, Sport or OFF can be chosen. The transmission used in the ZL1 is a new high-performance Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual that is specifically matched with the LSA engine. This high performance transmission is the "MG9" version of the six-speed, and it has a higher torque capacity. It is used with a dual-mass flywheel and twin-disc clutch for easy operation and smooth shifts. A new, shorter-throw shifter helps you get through life faster.
The ZL1 Camaro carries this unique ZL1-specific 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, which are lighter than the 20-inch wheels used on the Camaro SS. They are wrapped with new Goodyear Supercar F2 ties developed specifically for the ZL1. Behind the 20 inch wheels you'll find large 14.6-inch (370 mm) two-piece front rotors that have six-piston calipers; and the 14.4-inch (365 mm) rear rotors have four-piston calipers. Also unique to the ZL1 is the introduction of a new electric power steering system to Camaro. It is being developed to ensure precise control and feedback to the driver, with greater variability of effort for high-performance driving. This also allows the engine to produce more power thanks to no parasitic drag from the non-existant power steering pump.
Rear tire size for the ZL1 Camaro is 305/35ZR20....some serious rubber.
The ZL1 Camaro is equipped with a dual-mode exhaust system, which alters the sound level and character in response to engine rpm. It was first used on the legendary Corvette, and now specifically designed and tuned for Camaro ZL1, the dual-mode exhaust will give the car a signature sound.
The 1969 ZL1 Camaro had a total production count of 69. As mentioned, the first 50 were delivered to Fred Gibb Chevrolet, and 19 more were distributed to other dealerships around the country. The 2012 ZL1 Camaro will certainly be sold in larger quantities, but it is certain to be an instant collectible! Get one while you can.

If you were to put your ear to the future, that crashing sound you would hear is 1 out of 4 New Year's resolutions being broken. The amazing part of that statistic is that it is that low, even though only 45% of Americans actually make resolutions. So why do we fail so frequently? We fail at shaping our futures because life happens.
Imagine setting up a business venture or even a mission trip. You have your plan all set, you've even raised money and hired a staff. Then while you're just getting ready to launch, you have a dream in which God is telling you to not go forward, but in an entirely different direction. Would you obey or would you fret about altering your already set plans? The Apostle Paul actually faced a similar situation:

As I see it, being autistic is something like being a bird.[1] The idea here is that despite the many striking differences between hawks, chickens, finches, etc., the various species, sub-species and varieties have enough in common to warrant grouping them all together into a single category: birds.
Furthermore, because of what they have in common, it's entirely reasonable to study, say, parrots if you want to learn about turkeys, or maybe starlings if you want to learn about ducks; provided you remember that big differences exist between these various kinds of birds – only some don't fly, only some eat meat, only some have long necks, and only some can mimic human speech.
I'd like to know what you actually think of this analogy, but for now I'll consider it useful. In any case, the idea here is that much like birds, those of us with Autism Spectrum Disorder ("ASD", "autism") have enough in common to make it useful to think of us as a particular group; but if you pick any two of us for a closer look, you shouldn't be surprised to see significant differences in the way ASD manifests symptomatically. For example, my own ASD seems to manifest in a great deal of writing (philography);
a fascination with foreign languages (especially Spanish, these days); and a personal arsenal of knee-jerk defense mechanisms wired into my nervous system from decades of David-vs-Goliath-style showdowns, and which can make me quite unlikable under some conditions.[2]
I don't imagine that philography is an especially common ASD symptom (although Isaac Asimov, believed by some to have had ASD, published over 300 books in his lifetime), but I'm somewhat relieved to know that I didn't invent "autistic irritability". Also, I don't seem to have the sorts of sensory issues that many with ASD have to struggle with; nor do I instantiate the stereotype that those with ASD are humorless and blind to sarcasm, as debunked by the many posts I have in my jokes category.
Like anything, ASD must have its norms and outliers – white swans and black. A famous example of an outlier is London artist Stephen Wiltshire, who can draw an entire city from memory after having observed it during a 20 minute helicopter ride.
Now, I find that astonishing. I know I could never do that or really anything quite like it. That sort of behavior is just so far out on whatever measuring scale you want to use to measure it. I have gone through a drawing phase, even achieved a few minor successes, but eventually abandoned it. But even if you could normalize the scale to make it content independent – calculate the standard deviation, so to speak – I really don't think I've ever done, nor ever could do anything that approaches his media-worthy, black-swan sort of deviance. You'll never see an article about me in National Geographic, is what I'm trying to say here.
And yet Wiltshire and I are both "birds", right? — that is to say, we both have ASD. Perhaps he is a macaw and I am an egret, but we're both birds. And as a matter of fact, as different as he and I appear to be, I can actually recognize something of myself in his behavior. "It takes one to know one", perhaps. I'm not saying I could ever quite do what he does; even if I logged the so-called 10,000 hours of deliberate practice it supposedly[3] takes to achieve world-class expertise in anything. But I absolutely recognize and live on a daily basis the same kind of fanatical commitment I know he must have to his art. I too am relentless in this way, as I'm sure he is, "like a locomotive" is how I sometimes describe it to others, and in a way that really most people are not, no matter how passionate they may otherwise be.
My own routines and rituals (reading, language study, exercise, eating, etc.) are for the most part daily activities, and rigidly so, regardless of the day, including vacations, holidays and birthdays, and regardless of what else is going on in my life, who died or happens to be visiting. To illustrate: on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, after learning about the atrocities in New York (I was living in Montreal at that time), I warded off an anxiety attack by getting back to my rigorous actuarial exam preparations. "Stay the course" I told myself, "can't get distracted". While the rest of the world wept and grieved, I deliberately practiced calculating probabilities and summing infinite series.I think the sensationalist appeal of cases such as Wiltshire's can be misleading however, and may explain much about how my own diagnosis could have been missed for decades.
It would appear that Wiltshire's own story is a happy one. He has a warm, friendly face and a huggable good-guy weirdness that appeals to the general public – a redeeming genius, or "claim to fame". He's the sort of autistic person we can all love and be proud of. People (even doctors, apparently) look at him and think "oh, so that's autism…", and then they look at me and think "…and that's just some ordinary a**hole who can't hold down a full-time job; goes bankrupt, destroys his credit rating; who burns social bridges and ultimately alienates every woman who tries to love him; who will go jogging through the streets of Montreal during a blizzard; and who wakes up at 5 AM on Christmas morning to memorize the principal parts of German irregular verbs, or perhaps the entire German text of the Grimm brothers' Snow White."
Yeah, because that's so what ordinary a**holes do, if you can pardon my sarcasm.
Gosh, how much of Civilization do we owe to the world's Steven Wiltshires, these heroically autistic, black-swan good-guy weirdos? According to the Internet, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein had ASD. I think I read somewhere that John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham had ASD. These observations are pregnant with generalization: autism is a good thing, useful even.
But other, less cheerful scenarios are possible. As a horrifically different type of deviance, recall that back in 2012 a 20-year-old autistic man (Adam Lanza) shot and killed 20 children and 6 adults up in an elementary school in Connecticut.
Like Wiltshire's case, Lanza's is also astonishing, in a heart-breaking way. And of course, that is also something I could never do. Especially as a father of two young children, the whole affair is a monstrosity to me. I abhor violence and guns and the last time I was in anything like a physical altercation I was 16 years old and some random hooligan accosted me on a crowded street and punched me twice in the side of the head, to which I responded by blushing and weeping.
And yet, Wiltshire, Lanza and I, we're all birds, aren't we? We all have Autistic Spectrum Disorder (or had, in Lanza's case – he is dead). And in the same way that I can see something of myself in Wiltshire's case, when I am honest with myself (and you), I have to admit, and with no small discomfort, that I can see something of myself in Lanza's case too. Let me be clear: I do not identify with the cruelty and violence. I'm much, much more likely to draw an entire city from memory than I am to commit some schoolhouse massacre. And yet…when I try to imagine what Lanza might have been thinking and feeling as he raged and blazed his way through that kindergarten…I'd be lying if I said (like I believe most would say) that I found Lanza's actions utterly incomprehensible, because I don't.
Yeah, Lanza and I are both "birds", like Stephen Wiltshire; and I think I can see that fairly clearly. Yup, much like vultures, ostriches, and peacocks, we all have a lot in common, remarkable differences notwithstanding.
[1] This is just an analogy, of course, but I think it's a good one, at least for now, and until I encounter the sort of evidence that could change my mind. That's not just lip-service, by the way. If you disagree with me about the usefulness of this analogy, I invite you to explain why in a comment below.
[2] I always see myself as David in these scenarios, but I don't think my Goliaths always agree.
[3] The so-called 10,000 rule, is quite controversial. For example: The '10,000-hour rule' about becoming an expert is wrong — here's why.

If you are interested in makeup you will have heard of the silisponge, the latest craze sweeping the scene. The product is a small sponge sized device made of polyurethane (no, not silicone as the name would suggest), to be used as a makeup sponge. It is distributed by Molly Cosmetics, who by all accounts are now on their 9th restock.
The benefit of using this "sponge" is that it is not a sponge, it does not soak up product, meaning that it does not waste product, which also means that it is very easy to keep clean. Here is is video by the wonderful Jackie Aina giving it a good test.
It seems like a really good idea. In the tests it performs well, but does it replace the beauty blender? Only if you have been using one when you don't really need it. The Beauty Blender is generally meant to be used damp. That way it is great for if you are working on full coverage, if you overdo it, it does a great job of removing product. The Beauty Blender also does a great job of dealing with texture.
Personally I don't have those issues. I own 4 Beauty Blenders and also other similar sponges as well, and I don't currently use them. The reason is: I use really liquid foundations with low lipid levels (these tend to work best for fine lines). With these types of foundation sponges soak up too much product and application is best done with a brush or fingers. The silisponge is also not useful for these products as they are literally liquid and would drip off it. But, I am interested in the planned future iteration of the the sponge:
This version, the "Stardust" is scheduled to come out in January and is intended for cushion foundations. It is already allegedly sold out (btw I see what you are doing there Molly Cosmetics, making a point of publicizing selling out restocks to encourage our wish to get something before it is sold out. nobody else has the need to point out a restock, you use it for marketing).
If you use cushion foundations you will know that the product is really liquid and the cushion disperses it equally onto the sponge. This makes them the exact product where the beauty blender acts as a vampire stealing all your expensive stuff! With the even dispersal of the product onto the sponge there is little chance of dripping, ie its just not going to happen, and to be frank: cushion foundation sponges get gross and break really easily! I carry a great but super expensive cushion foundation in my handbag for on the go and I would love a sponge that is not gross, that I can just rinse off in a public sink with some soap, wipe off and be done with it.
So here's my hope: Molly Cosmetics will tone it down on the product restock dramas, get their supply lines sorted, I will get one, be happy and so will millions of other cushion foundation owners 🙂

CUDC adheres to the spirit of innovation and strives to promote the exchanges and cooperation of governments of the two countries at all levels and in all fields. CUDC promotes the establishment of friendly relationship between relevant cities of China and the UK and promotes their cooperation in the economic and trade field and from the cultural and educational standpoint.
Establishment of friendly cooperation between the cities of 'Nottingham and Chifeng'
In order to increase its participation in economic globalization progress undertaken by China, the People's Government of Chifeng(Inner Mongolia) actively explores the market and promotes the cooperation in such aspects as economy and trade, culture, education and hygiene through the establishment of friendly relationship with relevant cities of other countries to further improve the economic and social life of the people of Chifeng.
China UK Development Centre got in touch with the municipality of Nottingham in 2011, after being entrusted by People's Government of Chifeng, to coordinate the project. With months of preparation, communication and the coordination of the multiple parties involved, the Government of Nottingham invited the People's Government of Chifeng to visit Nottingham. In May, a total of 6 delegates from the Chifeng government visited Nottingham under the leadership of Bao Zhenyu, Executive Deputy Mayor.
After arriving in Nottingham, the delegates were warmly received by the Ms. Liu Xiaomei, the Vice Chairwoman of the Advisory Board of China UK Development Centre and Professor Yao Shujie, Dean of the College of Contemporary Chinese Studies at the University of Nottingham and famous Chinese-ethnic economist. On the following morning, along with the team of China UK Development Centre, the delegates, together with Mr. Nick McDonald, Senator of Government of Nottingham and Deputy Mayor in charge of economy and trade and employment, Ms. Emma Smith, International Director of Investment Bureau of Nottingham, Mr. Alex Moczarski,Director of municipal energy bureau and UK sugar industry, held very effective meetings, preliminarily agreed on fields to be cooperated, such as trade and creative industry, technology transfer, urban planning and green energy as well as the management of technology park.
The delegates also visited the famous wind power high-tech enterprise Romax in the municipal Science and Technology Industrial Park and the campus of the University of Nottingham, and held a meeting with Professor Chris Rudd,Vice President and Asian Business Center of University of Nottingham, exchanged opinions in a series of cooperation fields such as education, technology and hygiene, and preliminarily confirmed a series of cooperation projects.
The visit was a great success. Not only because these two cities established contact and started to understand each other, but also because the effectiveness of the encounter greatly exceeded expectations. Chifeng and Nottingham appreciated the key bridge and communication as well as the coordination role played by China UK Development Centre, and expressed their gratidute.

Did Cardinal Napier Attack the Dubia-Cardinals?
Cardinal Wilfrid Napier of Durban, South Africa, linked on August 10 on Twitter an op-ed article by U.S. Father Louis J. Camelir, originally published in January in the Jesuit America magazine. Camelir defends Pope Francis' refusal of a dialogue with the Dubia cardinals and accuses them randomly "to miss the point and — even more — to neglect mission and ministry in the pattern of Jesus himself". Napier calls the article "another interesting take on the Dubia".
Most of Napier's Twitter followers disagree with him. One writes, "Camelir doesn't offer a single cogent reason to not answer the dubia." Another, "Interesting take from modern-day Jesuits who openly flaunt their love for homosexuality. What's happened to you, Eminence? So very sad."

Indian State UP CM copying Pakistani Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif's project

You people are not getting it; UP CM is not copying SS;
UP CM is worried from the popularity of the great Imran Khan and like SS he also wants to buy the youth; it clearly indicates that the popularity of the great Khan has now crossed the borders as well.

Absolutely right. Now you have seen the reality and are on true path.
Welcome to the ranks of jamooras.
یہ ہندووٴں کی پاکستان کے خلاف سازش ہے۔ ہندو چاہتے ہیں کہ عمران خھان جیسا لیڈر پاکستان میں مقبول نہ ہو۔ یہ سب یو پی چیف منسٹر اور شوباز کی ملّی بھگت ہے
Well when did we say Shabaz is the only fool on the face of earth? He has company ofcourse. Thank you for identifying an instance
A small correction between, Akhilesh Yadav hasnt copied SS, he had laptop distribution as part of his election manifesto at the time he contested.
Shabaz is a fool and so is the nation that is going to vote for him. This foolish nation deserves to have a foolish leader like him.
Qadir khan has alot more to say about Mian sb .. maal road pay saria beche ga . remember?
Wo b paste karo idher.
Also, this news clipping definitely comes across as bogus and a paid peice to me when we have AQ Khans soudbites on youtube where he clearly says NS was scared to hell and did not want to conduct the tests.

Qdeer Khan has made conflicting statements, what's important is to understand the cause for conflict. If you understand that, you will know which of his statement is accurate and which is due to resentment and anger.

Even if someone created a fake twitter account of Dr AQ Khan and posted something against Nawaz Sharif, still it is credible as internet is a modern technology.
On the other hand, any statement of Dr AQ Khan published in newspapers is not acceptable as newspapers are status-quo relics. This is especially true if such statement is in favor of Nawaz Sharif.

Lets take a closer look at what is actually going on here, as there's more than meets the eye.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday presented a Rs. 2.21 lakh crore budget, the biggest in the history of the state. (To translate, that is 2.21 Trillion Rs.) (To further translate, that is 2221 Billion Rs.) (To further translate, the Indian Rs. is nearly twice more expensive as a Pakistani Rs. which then is 4442 Billion Rs.)
And to finally put things in prespective for you all to see, Uttar Pradesh is dealing with a Balance sheet which still has almost 75% Budget allocation unused from Last Year.
Mr. Yadav can afford to throw some money away.
All in all, with a budget of 780 Billion In Punjab, Pakistan, and laptops being thrown away, Shebaz Sharif's budget is not only dwarfed in comparison, but also makes Shebaz Sharif look like a tool as compared to the CM of UP who actually HAS money available to use for silly things.
But ill leave it in your capable hands to argue who is copying who. As futile as that may be.

I still need to figure out how, but again great Imran Khan exposed punjab government corruption. Again he has proven himself visionary leader.

As the world leader in holiday rentals, we offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We're committed to helping families and friends find the perfect holiday rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.
Spacious well appointed apartment in beautiful grounds with the added bonus of a lovely swimming pool to relax in at the end of a hot day. Owner & neigbours very helpful & everyone in the lovely village of Chalabre were very friendly.
We have just spent a week with 9 adults and 7 kids ranging from 1 to 10 yrs old and everyone had an amazing time. The accommodation itself is beautiful with a lovely little separate three bedroom house that worked well for the families with babies to be separate for peace and quiet for all! The main house has a nice downstairs area with big kitchen and living area with a conservatory seating area at the back, lovely comfy sofas and chairs and perfect for relaxing in an evening. The kitchen has a big cooker/oven and is one of the best stocked kitchens I have had the pleasure of using, loads of dishes and plates and even spices and herbs left for cooking with. There is also a large terrace off the kitchen where we spent most of our evenings as it was handy for both the houses and thats where you get signal from the baby monitors from the property next door! All the bedrooms are large and well furnished and have fans and shutters on the windows.
The garden area is to the rear of the property and plenty of room for all the kids to run around, there is a football goal which brought hours of fun for the kids and adults. The pool area is again top notch and the pool was lovely and warm, plenty of seats and sunbeds and a great covered area with a large table for having those lunches by the pool. There are also two fridges by the pool area to keep water and beers cool for those hot afternoons.
The nearest supermarket and petrol station is only 5 minutes away in Mirepoix and the supermarket has everything you could need, it is a large one that has great meat, fish, fruit and veg and of course local cheap wine! Mirepoix itself is an old town that reminded my son of the Tudors with the old wooden buildings and exposed beams, highly recommend parking up and having a wander around. There are plenty of restaurant serving good food, coffee and crepes and the parking is free all around the town.
The owners were also a delight and always on hand for any help or advice, they live in the property next door but you would never know they were there. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here if you want a lovely pool and gardens near to a good town with a nicely furnished and comfortable house. Julie was great at communicating and responding to emails and answered any questions we had...thank you from all of us!

"Why should I care about online privacy? I have nothing to hide."
I hear this argument–or something like it–almost every day. Maybe you're one of the ones making it. I may not be able to make you care, but let me show you why you're wrong.
Maybe you think you have nothing to hide online, that you don't ever do anything embarrassing or illegal or even awkward if taken out of context. I don't believe that. If that were the case, then would you mind if I took a look at your Google search history? How about your phone pics? While I'm at it, how about I view footage of your drunkest moments? Or your Facebook message inbox? You know what? I'll just stand here while you shower. Don't mind me.
Most of us (sociopaths excluded) would be uncomfortable with the situations I just described. Privacy is not about negatives, like what you have to hide–it's about what you have to live for. It's the freedom to say what you want, visit the websites you want, go to protests, search for terms that you're curious about, associate with any group or individual you want, to really live a free life.
Think about how differently you act when you're at home compared to in public. Imagine how you feel when you're at home in your bedroom, then contrast that with putting yourself on stage at a college graduation ceremony. Not only would you be more stressed, you'd worry more about how you came across, what people thought of you, and whether you're being "appropriate." No one acts the same when they're being watched.
And let's get one thing straight: we're all being watched on the Internet, whether it's by potential employers, hundreds of faceless ad companies you've never heard of that track your every click and purchase, ex-spouses, stalkers, the government, and big data companies like Google that know the content of every email you've ever sent, every video you've watched on YouTube, every calendar appointment you've made, and every search you've ever run online.
Those of us who understand this risk tailor our behavior accordingly. We censor ourselves. We become intentionally uncontroversial; unintentionally boring. We don't say and do what we truly want because it might put us at risk for punishment later. Privacy lets us choose our audience and match our behavior accordingly.
That's why privacy matters. Privacy is the freedom to control our own lives, not something that only "bad people" need. Let's stop taking such a limited view of privacy and embrace it–and protect it–for the essential freedoms that it provides us.
I'm a proud privacy advocate, but I know that not everyone is. Yet even if you're not as pro-privacy as I am, you can still admit that you have things in your life worth fighting for, words worth speaking, dance parties worth having. It's not that you have nothing to hide…it's that you have a lot to live for.

"Hark, now hear the sailors cry,
smell the sea, and feel the sky
let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic…"
-Van Morrison
Its been about a month since I moved back to Fort Lauderdale; I had been traveling the previous four months. Needless to say, I needed some grounding. Luckily, I live 10 minutes from the ocean, and let me tell you, its literally a sea of tranquility.
If you have a challenge or have been experiencing a lot of stress, spending a little time with Vitamin Sea will provide you with many benefits. The ocean is a large antioxidant; it contains free electrons which are absorbed into your body, neutralizing free radicals (1). Free radicals are very reactive in the body, if they are not neutralized, they can cause damage on the cellular level which, overtime, can lead to serious illness (2). A lot of us have heard of antioxidant supplements and antioxidants in food; but little understand the antioxidant properties of the Earth. The ocean, damp dirt and soil, and any conductive material contains some amount of free electrons. The Earth contains a virtually limitless supply of these free electrons; as long as we are in direct contact with the Earth, we will likely receive benefits including improved sleep, blood oxygenation, heart rate variability, and immune response while also reducing pain, anxiety, irritability, and inflammation (1). When we disconnect from these sources of free electrons, the opposite tends to occur.
While swimming with the ocean today and reflecting, I had an "epiphany." It is not scientifically proven nor tested, just experienced by me, so try it for yourself and let me know if you agree! Anyway, I went feeling a little unbalanced, with back pain, racing thoughts, and so forth. I stepped into the ocean, floated for some time, swam, and allowed it to neutralize me. This probably took 30-45 minutes. When I got out, I was free of the pain and racing thoughts I had entered with; I instead felt balanced and peaceful. I therefore believe that the ocean has the ability to balance the physical, energetic, and mental levels of the body, within a very short period of time. What medicine! I then began writing, figuring out the best way to spend my time in South Florida. The answers were all very clear, and I felt very tranquil after writing. I was able to connect, at least in part, to my intuitive and spiritual capabilities.
The ocean has helped me, every day for a month, balance my entire being. All I've had to do is go in, stand, float, swim, and stay for 45 minutes or so. If you do not live near the ocean, no worries! Most natural settings will have the same effect; the key is to take your shoes off, be quiet, and let nature "do its thing."
Further Information
For the large majority of us, going to the ocean everyday is not an option. Soon, I probably will not be able to go everyday either. Further, being connected directly to the Earth at all times with our bare skin is highly unlikely: we live in homes and sleep in beds. But, one man, Clint Ober, has found a solution! You can learn more about his experiences by visiting Earthing.com. He produces a variety of products which allow us to always be connected to the Earth, even if you are sleeping or working at your desk!
If it has been a long time since you've gone to the ocean, or took your shoes off and connected to the Earth, give it a try! You may not have the same experience as me, but "science says" it will likely make you a little healthier! Have a great day and thank you for reading :-).

Non STI Vaginal Infections
There are all sorts of health conditions that women suffer from, but no one really wishes to talk about them in public. In this article, we'll be discussing some of these.
First of all is vaginal thrush. Women having vaginal thrush can face extraordinary suffering, regardless of wherever they may be at the time. Despite the fact that most women experience more than one episodes of uncomplicated thrush which results in temporary discomfort, some can suffer from recurrent episodes. Physical symptoms, especially when they persist, can be often debilitating and embarrassing.
Uncomplicated Thrush
This condition is quite common, as more than 75% of women are likely to suffer from vaginal thrush in their lifetime. This is caused by Candida albicans, a fungal infection which takes place in the vagina. There are often no symptoms reported. Why some of the women develop some symptoms is still unclear. When they do occur, symptoms can include burning, itching, and a discharge which is "cottage cheese-like".
Vaginal thrush often occurs during the reproductive years of a woman. It isn't common prior to her very first menstrual cycle and after the menopause (when the periods stop), so it is likely that hormones are implicated. Most of the women suffer from thrush at a certain time of the month, especially prior to menstruation.
Recurrent Thrush
Recurrent thrush is when there are 4 or more episodes diagnosed of vaginal thrush in a 12-month period. Research in this area is quite costly and difficult, since the four episodes require being identified through a swab test.
Recommended Treatments
A few of the women benefit from treatment in the long term, but the relief remains elusive for some of the others. The sole treatment of thrush which is supported by a large study seems to be "maintenance and suppression" therapy.
In this therapy, symptoms are first suppressed with high dose of any anti-fungal medicines which is followed by a dose of maintenance (monthly or weekly) for as many as 6 months for preventing remission.
Based on where the patient is residing on the globe, purchasing the medicines on a regular basis can definitely add up to your expenses. Treatment is mostly inconsistent among practitioners. This reflects the lack of confidence among available guidelines.
What's more, some of the women refrain from taking anti-fungal medicines over longer periods since they tend to have a few side effects, such as abdominal pain.
What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?
Even though it's quite a common condition, not many know about BV (Bacterial Vaginosis). Symptoms of this condition include a milky and water discharge as well as a fish odor coming from the vagina.
Why BV Is Hard To Treat
BV is caused by several groups of bacteria, which makes it different as compared to common genital infections including gonorrhea and Chlamydia, in which only a single bacterium is held responsible. While the causes of bacterial vaginosis remain subjected to ongoing research, what we do know is that there's a marked disruption of the bacterial community in the vagina with BV as compared to one with a healthy vaginal condition.
Recent research about the bacterial profile of vaginas suggests that women having BV develop a bacterial biofilm on the vaginal wall.
BV is usually very easy to treat with Metronidazole, Tinidazole or Clindamycin Cream.You can get a prescription for these products at this private online clinic – privatedoctordirect.com
Trials between the years 1985 and 1997 – in which men were treated along with their female partners – did not continuously reduce the recurrence rates of BV. The trials ever since have been shown to be inconclusive and flawed. As of now, there seems to be mounting evidence which suggests sex is greatly linked with BV acquisition and its recurrence among treated women.
Studies have also concluded that females with male partners who don't use condoms are consistently more prone to having BV. What's more, females who've been treated and afterwards re-exposed to the same sexual partner are more prone to getting their bacterial vaginosis back. Some other studies have also shown that women having female partners are more likely to develop bacterial vaginosis in case they have a partner who has BV. You can read more here.

The reason Wang didn't react to the cheer of NYY fans
According to UDN.com, a Chinese media in Taiwan, Mr. Yung-Chin Wang, the chief of international affair of CPBL (Taiwan based Professional League Organization), asked Chien-Ming Wang that why Wang didn't react to the ovation of Yankees fans in the stadium. Wang said his performance that day "was not good enough to receive fans' love"....
What a shy guy!
王建民昨天退場時,洋基球迷又是全場起立鼓掌,不過「建仔」並未脫帽答禮,王雲慶今天碰到王建民時,問他當時為何如此?王建民表示,現場觀眾向他致意,他當然知道,只是覺得自己投得不好,實在丟臉,所以未向球迷回應,不是害羞的問題。In the same article, Hideki Matsui ask the CPBL chief of international affair that if Chien-Ming Wang is the most famous celebrity in Taiwan.... (Yes, the chief of international affair can speak Japanese.)

There is little worse than suddenly losing access to your home's heating system during the winter months. We get more than our fair share of cold here in Arizona, and having a heater is an absolute must!

We've been bringing Phoenix homeowners the best in superior service and quality for over thirty years. When it comes to top-class replacement and heating services, there's no name better to know than AC by J in Arizona.

Furnace Replacement Services
When you are looking to replace, you need more than just any old heating service. You need the guarantee and surety of a top-class service provider that can help you select the perfect solution for your home. At AC by J, our experts are expertly skilled and highly trained, meaning we can help you find the perfect replacement for your home or business.

Is It Time for Furnace Replacement?
One of the biggest challenges of replacing for a homeowner is knowing when it's the best option. Much of the time furnace repair can get the job done, and since it tends to usually be cheaper and faster, it's often the preferred service. However, there are actually a lot of situations where it's the exact opposite! Sometimes replacement will provide you with a more reliable, more cost-effective solution for sure.
It's time to consider furnace replacement when:
- Your current furnace is too old. At around ten years or so, most furnaces begin to lose a lot of energy-efficiency and heating effectiveness. If your furnace is around ten years of age, a replacement is going to provide you with a more comfortable, more dependable, and less costly solution.
- You need repairs too often. Needing repair every couple years or so isn't all that odd. But if you find yourself calling in for professional repair annually or more, you should really consider replacing. A single repair is often less costly than replacement, but it's a much different story after two, three, or more repairs.
- The repairs you need are too costly. Occasionally furnaces may encounter a problem that is just more trouble than it's worth. Issues like sheer age, or component failure can run you a lot of money, and more often than not replacing at this point just makes more sense.
- You're not getting the heating you deserve. If your furnace just can't keep up, you really should replace it. It just doesn't make sense to pay for heating when you're not even getting the comfort you deserve out of it! If your furnace is lagging behind, talk to our experts about how to get a superior heating option that meets your needs better.
Choose AC by J for Furnace Replacement in Phoenix

Those in North Fremantle who claim Freo Council does not look after them can be silent now. These massive rubbish bins I photographed near the Propeller Cafe this morning are hopefully the start of a Fremantle wide roll out in the more frequented and tourist areas of the city where ugly plastic wheelie bins are still creating visual pollution.
Not sure why one of these bins was not made a recycling bin and disappointing the COF still needs to use plastic bin liners because it is probably the most practical way.

"International zero waste experts, Professor Emeritus, Paul Connett, St Lawrence University, Canton New York and Professor Steffen Lehman, Head of Architecture and the School of the Built Environment at Curtin University, a zero waste and planning expert, will together with Mr lee Bell, heavy metals expert to the International Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Elimination Network (IPEN) and National Toxics Network (NTN) will be participating in a panel discussion, taking questions from the public about the four incinerators recently approved by the WA EPA and alternative solutions.
This is an incredible opportunity to hear from some of the worlds leading experts on the dangers of incineration and the pathways towards sustainable zero waste solutions for Western Australia.
The south metro region has been targeted for two massive incinerators making this an environmental health and justice issue for all south metro regional councils, their constituents and the environment.
As such all WA local governments are under pressure from regional councils to commit to long term waste management contracts to secure the vast waste streams needed to fuel the waste to energy incinerators planned for WA. With four incinerators approved in WA now, this pressure is set to increase. To understand how this dirty energy industry is being promoted, this article may be of interest to you.
Don't miss this great opportunity. Tuesday 17th Feb 2015, 6pm, Lotteries House, 2 Delhi St, West Perth. (on the Freo train line City West train stop)

Hope Okeny left England in 1997 and visited Gulu, what she witnessed and heard changed her course of career to this date. It was while listening to the story of a former child soldier that she knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that her life would never be the same. Nothing prepared her for Simon's story, a young Ugandan boy who had been abducted and forced to fight in Joseph Kony's Lord's resistance Army. God used that encounter with Simon in 2001 to establish a clear purpose for her life: that she would be used in helping restore the lives and identities of former child soldiers of the LRA and their families in Northern Uganda. Hope completed her Bachelors degree in Business Studies from the University of East London before she persued a Masters in Business Administration from Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi and Masters in Public Health from the International Health Sciences University. In her free time, she enjoys playing games, reading the newspaper, singing, and being with her family.

Well, staying inside, is a nice excuse for making some crafty stuff.. Made these candlelightholders out of some used milkcontainers, earlier. (Recycling and re-using things for crafts, is someway often on my mind. I'm not that ecologic, just think it's fun!!)
I made a little tutorial on how to make these. The text is in Danish, though, but the pics should speak for themselves. You can watch it here

Size does matter! Hi,i purchased a pair of mens fitflops for my husband but when they arrived i was dissappointed to see that they didnt fit.I live in Ireland and not all fitflops styles are available here so sometimes i order online from th U.K.Myself and my husband are both fans of fitflops and when we buy them we just buy our normal size,in my husbands case a size 10.Unfortunately in this case he needs a size bigger ,so now i have to go to the expense of posting back to the U.K having already paid ¡ê15 sterling to have them shipped in the first place.I will then have to pay another ¡ê10 to have the replacement pair in size 11 shipped back to me,which makes the shoes very expensive.The reason i paid the shipping price originally is because i can not find the type he wanted here,and i knew he took a size 10 previously in fitflops so i assumed the style i bought would also fit.Shoetique should really say when purchassing certain styles of fitflops that they are a small fit for example

Helpful staff and true to their word deliveryI had a problem as I thought I had placed an online order, as it turned out I hadn't but the staff were very helpful and helped me with my order of two hockey sticks for which there was no charge for p&p. I was told me the sticks would arrive by Monday and they did and I was even sent an email with a link to the delivery company so I could track the delivery. Excellent service.
