Buick Park Avenue Electrical / Lighting Problems
parkave91977 Posts: 1
in Buick
I have a 98 Park Ave and the power windows have developed a problem of not working on warm or hot days. When the temperatures cool down the windows work fine, but when the air heats up they stop working. I don't know if this is a motor problem or in the actual power switch in the door. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm hoping it's something I can fix. I already asked a Buick repairman and was only told they could fix it for $500, and that is for only one window. If anyone can offer a more economical solution please advise me.
pau03 Posts: 14Hi, since you mention "windows" as plural I would have to assume that it's not any one motor or switch. I'd look for the power source or ground. It's going to have to be something in common with all the windows. Have you checked the fuse or breaker connections? If you aren't electrically inclined you could be in for quite a challenge.
rbarthel1 Posts: 1After I start my car a "reminder" chime,more like constant dinging that starts sounding off and It does not stop untill you turn the car off. Is there a fuse that I can take out so that I dont have to listen to that anymore untill I can get it somewhere to get it looked at?0
ggeeoo Posts: 94The front lights a very easy process. 1 Lift hood get a tork socket set loosen the two black knurled bolts. The whole wrap around unit comes out where you can see
the side light the low beam high beam and running light just twist counter clockwise
and pop out old lamp pop in new. The side marker are accessed the same way
from reaching hand underneath fender twisting the bulb holder then pop out and pop in. The rear Brake lights are accessed from trunk area. Remove the two cargo cleats, then unscrew two phelps screws either side of trunk latch then the right side cargo cleat the entire plastic splash piece comes out after plastic screws are levered out. 10 mm socket removes the nuts the whole brake light and turn signal comes off and again twist the bulb unit and pop out old bulb pop in new. To access the backup and license bulbs remove the gray cloth again levering plastic screws. Then remove the eight 10mm nuts the whole trunk lid light assembly can be removed and bulbs replaced and reassenbled.0
The turn signal mechanisum on my girl friend's 1978 Buick Park Avenue was broken by a repair facility that tried to fix it. Now the left signal will not latch and when you turn on the right signal the horn blows and no signal. They also lost the shift indicator from the dash so we have to guess what gear we are in. The garage says they can't find any parts and have washed their hands of the problem. Needless to say we don't go there any more. It was her parent's car and she insists on keeping it. It look great and runs like a top.
Where can I find a source for the part? I have not pulled the steering wheel but I suspect that the plastic switch is broken. I may have to replace the wiring harness or perhaps the complete column. I'll do whatever it takes. Just imagine this tiny lady sticking her arm out of this BIG Buick's window to make hand signal. Most young drivers today don't even know what she is trying to do. They think she's trying to flick out a cigarette.
What models and years would have the same parts so that I might do a junk yard search? We are in the Central Virginia area but I guess UPS can bring in a part from anywhere. Thanks for any help or leads to solve this problem.
countryroads Posts: 3On my 94 PA (not Ultra), the service department prices a replacement for the Overhead Lighting Monitor Module--displayed below the rearview mirror--at $535(!) Rather than shell out for this outrage, I told them to disconnect it as they suspect it is draining the battery. It flashes constantly when the car is being driven but does not light up when ignition is off.
The battery was new in the summer of 2007 and connections appear clean. First, is the diagnosis likely correct? Second, I'm told it will cost $400 just to disconnect this module as it is positioned deep under the dashboard. This sounds suspicious to me but what do I know? If I go ahead with this, should the battery stay charged? :confuse:0
capcrunch Posts: 1I have 2003 Park Ave with auto climate control. The temp display is dim enough to be almost impossible to read. I assume bulb replacement needed. How difficult to access bulb? Do I need to take to dealer?0
Some of the temp displays go dim. It's not a bulb. I believe there's someone on Ebay rebuilding them. I recall with a Regal back in the 90s there were some where you take them apart and resolder the black, rectangular resistor blocks and they worked right again.
I did a search on Ebay and came up with this store. You might email and ask about rebuilt Park Avenue units
AC control and speedometer rebuild
Or you can search for price on gmpartsdirect.com or rockauto.com for the AC control unit.
2015 Cruze 2LT, 2014 Malibu 2LT, 2008 Cobalt 2LT0
Second Imidazol97's reply. There are some bad solder joints on the resistors inside that climate control unit. If you are handy with a soldering iron or know someone who is, it is a cheap fix (cost of a little solder) and an hour or two of easy labor for the do-it-yourselfer. After you disassemble the control unit, you can try to wiggle the resistors on the board and it will be pretty easy to see which ones have bad solder joints. If you aren't familiar with soldering and resistors, one of those rebuilt units will fit the bill as it isn't a bulb problem.0
I have a 1994 park avenue. The horns goes off without anybody in the car. All I have to do to stop it is hit the horn a few times. Seems llike it is sticking in the column when you press down on the horn. What is the remedy for this problem? Could it possibly be some moisture in the column? This car had a leak in it a few months ago, but has been repaired.0
Quick guess. If it went off while you were driving I'd think it was a wire that was touching occasionally and had worn through its insulation. But because it's while the car is parked, I suspect it's in the contact pad in the steering wheel. A few cars ahd that problem long ago; the cold would make the plastic change and the contact would cause the horn to blow.
Because you have an airbag in the steering wheel that complicates the matter. You might try touching around on the pad to see if you can find a sensitive spot that might be making contact when it shouldn't.
2015 Cruze 2LT, 2014 Malibu 2LT, 2008 Cobalt 2LT0
Thanks for your reply. It makes sense what you said because the horn mainly goes off when the sun hits the steering column in the middle of the day. I will get someone to look into it. Thanks again.0
I don't recall the year, but check the NHSTA site for comments about that. Look for comments on the web. Ask the Buick dealer service manager if it"s been a problem and there"s been a recall>

I now have 153,000 miles on my Park Avenue. I was driving at freeway speed with my cell phone charger on, the radio and the A/C. I started to see smoke come from below the steering wheel. I tturned everything off pulled over it stopped. I continued driving with nothing on but it started to smoke again but I did not notice a burning smell. the smoke was similar to when you blow out a candle. I checked all fuses to make sure that they all were the correct amperage , and they are. I have checked for grounds as well. I am concerned that my air bag may deploy while I am driving.
Has anyone had a similar problem and do you have a solution.0
angiebyrd189 Posts: 1We have a 1997 Park Ave and it runs great for 165000 miles. One day my husband was at work on a lunch break listening to music with the air running and the driver seat back. He said all of a sudden everything stopped working but the car was still running fine. Now the radio is out, the tail lights are out (we cant drive at night, which sucks) the dash lights are out, the driver seat is permantly stuck in the lounge position, and the interior lights are out. Everything else runs great. My husband checked all the fuses and none of them are blown, the only thing he thinks it may be is the computer chip. Has anybody else had this issue or what do any of you think it may be?!0
dixon76014 Posts: 1SOME YEARS AGO I HAD A CADILLAC THAT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM.
I have not worked on 97 ParkAvenue but assuming it's setup somewhat like my 03 leSabre, there are different computer boxes that control different parts of the car.
First you need to check every fuse with a continuity tester. They can look okay but be blown. I am assuming you have a fuse block under the hood and one under the rear seat with the battery.
Also tighten grounds on the fuse block under the rear seat. Check the owner's manual to see if there are fuses in another location.
My opinion is it's likely a fuse or wire connection that burned.
I'd look for a factory service manual from Helminc.com for the car if you want to try to see what boxes control those items. The factory service manuals sometimes are for sale on eBay by searching for service manual and 1997 buick or use words Park Avenue instead of buick. Check carefully for ones offered to be sure you get all two or three books. Compare pictures of ones offered. You want the ones from Helm, which are the ones you get if you order from the page in the glove box owners manual that came with the car. Original price is around $135. They are available at the website--that may include shipping.

smz100 Posts: 1I have a 99 ultra. The series of buttons to the left of the gage cluster do not respond. Trip, engine etc. I did not get an owners manual but I assume theree is no trick to making these buttons function? any ideas? thanx0
pscherer Posts: 1Buick Regal NO START electricial problem,Car stoped running. All lights flash,buzzers buzz,no start. After 10 min car started, ran for 1 min now wont turn over and all lights on dash flash and buzz. PLEASE ANY HELP.0
Without hands on examination of your car, my first guess would be a failure of your upper intake manifold plenum. This is assuming you have the Series 2 3800 engine, non-supercharged model. When mine failed, symptoms sounded like yours.
Do you have any coolant in the plastic antifreeze recovery tank on the fender? If no, this points to a leak somewhere in the cooling system.
Are you your own mechanic?
If yes, pull all your spark plugs and then watch the engine while someone attempts to turn it over. When you pull the plugs, you may find some cylinders full of fluid which will start to spill out. If it turns over and is full of fluid, it will spray anyone standing in front. :P
If this is your failure, what happens is engine coolant (antifreeze & water) will flow into your lower intake manifold (thru a crack in the upper plenum) and from there down into your cylinders. Air and fuel vapor will compress in a healthy engine. Water & antifreeze won't. This causes a condition called hydrolock. In a worst case scenario, it could cause expensive engine repair or replacement as piston rods and parts get bent or broken. But it is a common problem, and easily fixed for the do-it-yourselfer. I have never personally seen any parts bend or break.
With the engine locks up, the starter seems to get jammed up, hence the flashing dash lights as it tries to draw a huge electrical load on your system but is unable to turn the engine over. I've had to pull the starter and put it back in to free mine up.
This is just my wild guess based upon your brief description. It may be something simple like a bad starter or battery. Or something simpler.
If you are your own mechanic, you can fix it for less than $150 in half a day. Plus oil and coolant change.
Pull the plugs and let us know how it goes.
If you are not your own mechanic, how well do you know your mechanic?0
Since I received no response to my post, I decided to go it alone. I was able to purchase a new turn signal switch thru ebay that solved all my electrical problems. The plastic insulator that sits on top of the steering wheel nut and insulates the large horn contact spring, attached to the steering wheel was broken in several places due to age and some heavy hands of a previous mechanic. I was able to reconnect all the broken pieces and build up the missing pieces with several applications of 10 minute epoxy, so that the insulator was functional and did not allow the spring to short out.
The other problem was the shift indicator gage. some previous heavy handed mechanic had dropped the steering without disconnecting the shift indicator clip, thus shearing off the actuator arm and popping off the indicator needle. This gage is rotary actuated and all others that I could find in junk yards were linear actuated. The only thing I could do was to try and epoxy indicator needle that was loose in the case and fabricate another arm and epoxy it to the little plastic stub that was still on the back of the gage. To make a long story short, after many trys, I was successful and the gage now works as well the original. If anyone is interested in how I made this repair, I have photos and would be happy to walk you thru the process. Please contact me off line at [email protected]
This was a real learning process and I am happy to finally complete it.
I'm glad to hear you were successful. It sounds like you are as adept at using epoxy as I am to fix some things. Also PL1 polyurethane caulk/adhesive is really good for putting some things in their place and it has a little give to it.
2015 Cruze 2LT, 2014 Malibu 2LT, 2008 Cobalt 2LT0
On second thought, it could just be a loose battery connection. I should have always started with the simple stuff first. Sorry for not suggesting this on the first pass. Any change?0
I just bought a 1994 Park Avenue (not Ultra) from an older lady. It only has 91000 miles but had set up for a while before I bought it (maybe a year) and the next day i noticed that it was hesitating when I would accelerate. Anyway it got worse and then wouldnt stay cranked. It would start but immediately cut off. I replaced all of the coil packs and the plate under them (i think it was called the ignition module) along with the fuel filter. Now it runs but is still cutting out at low rpms. Ive checked the air filter and am in the process of changing the spark plugs. I have all 3 in the front and 1 in the back. I cant get to the other two. I've heard something about an engine mount that would allow the engine to tilt but i have no idea where it is... Does anyone know anything about accessing the back spark plugs and so far with the 4 new plugs in its still skipping and if changing the plugs doesn't work, what next?? Any suggestions would really help.....Thanks0
If the wires are the original Packard wires they must be replaced along with plugs. Use AC for the plugs and a good OEM quality wire; if you don't want ACDelco wires use Belden from NAPA which is a commonly recommended good wire.
There are many things that could cause your hesitation. The fuel pressure and flow needs to be checked.
The IAC needs to be removed and cleaned without getting cleaner up into the operating part.
The MAF sensor is a likely problem area. There is a liquid cleaner to spray on the sensitive wires to clean. You can try disconnecting the MAF and starting the car and see if it runs better (not perfect) without it. That sometimes identifies a problem MAF.
You should check all of the vacuum lines for cracks and rotted sections that might be leaking air. You can try spraying carburetor cleaner around the edges of the upper intake manifold and all the vacuum lines which the car is running and listen for a change in the idle indicating carb cleaner is getting in and being burned.

Thanks for the advice. I did find a small 5/36 vaccum line that was pretty much non existant so i just replaced it. I got 4 of the 6 spark plugs in i couldn't get to the other 2, do you know how i can reach them... also the 4 spark plugs that i took out were in extremely bad shape the porcelain insulator part was black and crusty... The MAF that you were talking about disconnecting, im not sure where it is or what it looks like and i cant find a diagram anywhere.. this is the very first time that ive even worked on a car so i really appreciate your advice.0
russellburke Posts: 4I am currently looking for a T connector and four flat wire trailer wiring connector. The 2005 was the last year for the Park Ave and I do not want to splice into the factory harness. I have hunted the web with no success and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I stand on something to give me increased height to reach in. I put a cover over the fender and just reach back behind. I have to do it from both sides of the car to get all the back ones.

das1000me Posts: 4Good afternoon. I have a 1999 Buick PA with about 135,000 miles on it. For some time now my "Service Engine Soon" light has been on. My car, without much notice, will shut off whenever I stop at red lights, stop signs or slow down to turn corners. I took it to AZ and they put a little monitor beneath my dash board. It read "MAS" (Massive Airflow Sensor I believe). I bought the sensor, had it installed and the "Service ..." light went off - but only for about 1 week. Last Sunday, the second week since the light has been off, while driving to a store about 1.5 miles away all was fine. When I left the store, however, a block away my car seemed like it was gasping for air (more like choaking) and cut off. After four attempts to restart it (when I turned the key in the ignition, I would hear it come on but it would not stay on), I finally got it going. It has not gone off since that time, but now I need inspection and I know it won't pass because of that darn light. Also, I've had the car for about four years and it has had a tune-up maybe once during that time. Needless to say, I want it fixed for safety reasons, too! Thanks!0

been granted two Summer of Code projects. This is exciting
news for me, and I am grateful to all the people who helped
make this happen.
In this post I'll present the hackers who presented those
two projects and give you some perspective about their
Seemanta has been active on the mailing list of the Nemiver
project for quite some time now. He has shown great
interest in the project and has contributed ideas and code.
When you are debugging a program and you hit "Quit" in
Nemiver while the debugged program is still running, the
debugger kindly reminds you that said debugged program is
still around and alive. This has saved me from accidentally
quitting the debugger quite a number of time. Seemanta is
the person to thank (warmly) for this feature.
At some point in time some people have shown interest for
having a command line interface in Nemiver, coupled with a
way to script debugging actions. I have kind of dragged
feet in that matter because my attention is taken by
nurturing more basic features.
I was excited to see Seemanta rolling up his sleeves and
proposing to look into supporting (Python) scripting in
Nemiver. Think about it for two seconds. This could have
some interesting impacts in debugging interactions for
Nemiver users. Imagine a command line interpreter for the
graphical debugger, totally written (and extensible) in a
scripting environment. I like the fresh air that this new
horizon is bringing.
- Fabien Parent
Fabien has been active in the Nemiver project for a while
now. He has been instrumental in testing and providing
astute feedback for features like remote debugging and, more
recently, the integrated disassembler of the debugger. It
took me quite some energy to add that disassembling feature
so I did really appreciate the feedback of Fabien -- and
others (hey Luca Bruno!) -- about corner cases that I left
over here and there. Without them the damn thing would
certainly be less streamlined than it is now.
More recently he added support for GSettings to the code
base, effectively taking his share of the effort of porting
Nemiver to the GNOME 3 platform. Not only did he do that,
but he did it in a clever and maintainable way. The code
base basically supports GConf *and* GSettings. Both of
which are "just" backends of the internal configuration
interface of the Nemiver project. And there is zero #ifdef
in the client code of said configuration interface, for
those who care. This allows me (as a maintainer) to
contemplate -- with some serenity -- the support of Nemiver
on systems that will not necessarily jump to GSettings soon.
Looking at the Bugzilla activity around Nemiver, one could
sense that the way it uses the screen estate is not
necessarily optimal today, especially when you consider the
use cases of "wide" monitors that is getting more and more
the norm rather than the exception. In other words, there
are people out there who would like to make a better use of
their horizontal screen space, during their debugging
I was thrilled when Fabien stood up to tackle this task of
providing Nemiver users with a better way of managing their
horizontal space during their graphical debugging sessions.
Please join me in congratulating Seemanta and Fabien!
Happy Summer Hacking!

FBI Successful In Breaking Up Yet Another Of Its Own Plots To Bomb The US
from the what-an-amazing-track-record deptWe've discussed this a few times in the past, but the FBI's main counter-terrorism initiative these days appears to be centered around creating its own terrorist plots to thwart. First, they find clueless, easily manipulated people (frequently young and Muslim), who have no actual connections with terrorists. Then, they concoct entire terrorism plots, where every other person is an FBI agent, and any tools, "weapons" and money are supplied by the FBI. Finally, they "bust" the guy just before he carries out the plot that never would have happened anyway, because it's not like the FBI would supply the actual weapons. We see this pattern again and again -- and each time the press uncritically hypes up how the FBI successfully stopped a real "homegrown" terrorist.
Of course, it's happened once again, and the basic plotlines are identical to ones in the past. And, of course, the press is describing it like it was an actual terrorist plot, pretending that people was actually at risk. Glenn Greenwald's summary of this and other cases is pretty spot on:
None of these cases entail the FBI's learning of an actual plot and then infiltrating it to stop it. They all involve the FBI's purposely seeking out Muslims (typically young and impressionable ones) whom they think harbor animosity toward the U.S. and who therefore can be induced to launch an attack despite having never taken even a single step toward doing so before the FBI targeted them. Each time the FBI announces it has disrupted its own plot, press coverage is predictably hysterical (new Homegrown Terrorist caught!), fear levels predictably rise, and new security measures are often implemented in response (the FBI's Terror plot aimed at the D.C. Metro, for instance, led to the Metro Police announcing a new policy of random searches of passengers' bags).Now, I'm sure some will argue that these efforts highlight those who may be pre-disposed to taking part in such activities if given the chance for real. But in the US, I thought we didn't believe in arresting people for crimes that they're pre-disposed to doing if they haven't actually done them. On top of that, with the FBI providing most of the actual plot here, it's difficult to see how this isn't a classical case of entrapment. Finally, it's not clear what good this really does. Putting people who had no real means of attacking the US in jail isn't likely to scare off anyone else.
It also makes you wonder if the FBI shouldn't be spending more time trying to stop actual plots that involve people who have the means to actually hurt people, rather than these plots which have exactly 0% chance of causing any harm.

Another woman and baby dead by legal abortion and African American and other religious prolife leaders are outraged as the NAACP, The Congressional Black Caucus, many in the Christian and political community and others remain silent on the Reproductive Genocide issue.
"The death count keeps rising. Why aren't our highly visible "leaders" protesting?" asks Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life and post-abortive spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.
"It has happened again. Another mother has been killed by so-called 'safe and legal' abortion," said Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "It happens constantly, in fact, but the abortion industry usually succeeds in covering it up. And even when they don't, the rest of us succeed in keeping it relatively quiet. Late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart began an abortion procedure a few days ago on a woman who was about 33 weeks pregnant. These abortions are legal, and he performs them at his killing center in Germantown, MD. Yesterday, she developed complications. The abortionist could not be reached. She was taken to the emergency room by private vehicle, and she died," Pavone explained.
"Women of all ages, shapes, sizes and ethnicities are dying by abortion," added King who cited the recent death by abortion of Tonya Reaves in Chicago. "My great-great grandfather , Dr. Adam Daniel Williams, a pastor original NAACP founder would be appalled to know that mothers and children are being denied liberty and life at the hands of the abortion/contraceptives industry. We must RECALL ABORTION now."
Day Gardner, founder of the National Black Pro-Life Union laments, "This recent death adds to the chilling reports of reproductive genocide in America. why is the NAACP silent… again? As a child, I thought the NAACP to be a super hero organization; an organization that would fight racism down to its very core — and like a super hero — it would always stand for truth and justice…fighting boldly for civil rights and freedom for all black people."
"Apparently, there was some fine print in there that said — except for those children who are too small to defend themselves — we will allow their civil rights to be violated," said Gardner.
"What bothers me most is the NAACP is very quick to recognize racism everywhere else except the one place that truly affects all of us. Black women and their unborn children are targeted by the abortion industry while the NAACP looks the other way," Gardner concluded.
It would seem that the National Black Prolife Coalition is striking a serious nerve and a serious chord in their efforts to expose the blatant Reproductive Genocide Movement in America. When Ryan Bomberger posted an add calling out the National Association for the Abortion of Colored People on his websites, the NAACP squealed real loud, even going to the point of calling their attorneys to apply scare tactics to charge Ryan to back down. The NAACP was also shocked by the aggressive prayer protest hosted by Dr. Johnny Hunter, Pastor Stephen Broden, Rev. Walter Hoye, and other Black leaders of the National Black Prolife Coalition who appeared with local leaders at the February 1, 2013 NAACP Image Awards to demand that the NAACP break ties with the abortion and contraceptives industry, headed up by Planned Parenthood, America's largest abortion provider. The leaders also demanded that the NAACP break ties with the homosexual marriage campaign and return to those values that are life affirming for colored people.
"There really is a National Alliance, Campaign or Association for the Abortion of Colored People. This force to be reckoned with includes Planned Parenthood, the NAACP, The Congressional Black Caucus, the abortion supporting political powers that be, and unfortunately the Christian pastors of America who for the most part are watching this debacle play out from the sidelines," said Alveda King.
"Since 1973, over 55 million babies have been legally aborted – which means slaughtered or killed – in America. Black babies make up nearly one third of the deaths, which is Reproductive Genocide in that the living African American population in America is estimated to be around 13%. Add to these startling figures the deaths and serious injuries of women who are victims of the supposedly "safe, legal and rare" abortions and harmful, invasive contraceptives that the Alliance for the Abortion of Colored People want to keep ramming down our throats while they keep laughing at us all the way to the bank, filling their coffers at the expense of the blood shed by our babies and our women.
"Enough is enough already! Too many babies are dead; too many women are hurt, suffering or dead by acts of abortion. If people really want to advance colored people, they will help the least of these rediscover the lost values that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of during his lifetime. They will help colored people and all people discover purpose in life. They will help people find jobs, and finish their education. They will recall abortion. They will own up to the duplicities that they attempt to cover up with deceptive ad campaigns that promise to help us when all the time they keep killing us.
"Pray that the voices against this injustice will increase, will grow stronger, and that America will wake up before it is too late," King concluded.

Romana Petrucelli is a Clinical Secretary in the Department of Urology, where she supports Dr. John Colberg, Associate Professor of Urology, and Dr. Peter Schulam, Professor of Urology. Her main role is to gather information from patients and make sure they have everything that is needed before their appointment. This includes obtaining all the necessary forms and signatures needed before a patient undergoes surgery.
Although she has been in her current position for only a year, Romana has been focused on caring for patients for over 10 years. Lately she has chosen to focus in urology, and enjoys her interactions with patients and physicians. She answers any questions or concerns a patient may have, and figures out what they need to make the process go smoothly once they arrive.
"It feels good to know that I have made a difference for someone who is scared or nervous going into treatment. It may be a routine procedure, but for them it is a major surgery. I try to put their mind at ease and help them realize that they are going to come out better than they went in," said Romana. Romana believes that whether it is a 60 second phone call or a reassuring word, something small can mean a lot to a patient and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and kindness.
Debra Reynolds, Supervisor of Clinical Operations in the Multispecialty Care Center at Smilow Cancer Hospital, commented, "Romana's dedication, compassion and hard work shows on a daily basis. The Providers, staff and patients are very lucky to have her as part of the Smilow Team."

Anxiety and Stress Disorders in Children
Anxiety Symptoms
Anxiety symptoms are linked to specific mental and behavioral disorders which can appear even in very young children. Examples of these anxiety symptoms are thoughts and fears about safety of self and parents, expressing worries about things before they happen, or constant worries or concern about school, friends, or sports. Some anxious children are afraid to meet or talk to new people. As a result, they have few friends outside the family. Anxiety can also be expressed through physical complaints such as frequent stomachaches and headaches. In addition, anxiety in children can be expressed as overly clingy behavior at home and panic or tantrums at times of separation from parents. Anxious children are often tense or uptight. Some may seek a lot of reassurance, and their worries may interfere with activities. Because anxious children may also be quiet, compliant, and eager to please, their difficulties may not be easily noticed . Parents should be alert to the signs of severe anxiety so they can intervene to prevent complications. Early treatment can prevent future difficulties such as loss of friendships, failure to reach social and academic potential, and feelings of low self-esteem. In addition, early treatment can also prevent complications such as clinical depression or the formation of more severe anxiety disorders.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety symptoms can also be a response to stressful events. A child's reaction to stress is often brief and recovery usually occurs without complications. A child or adolescent who experiences a catastrophic event, however, may develop ongoing difficulties known as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The stressful or traumatic event involves a situation where someone's life has been threatened or severe injury has occurred. Examples of this are being the victim or a witness of physical abuse, sexual abuse, violence in the home or in the community, automobile accidents, natural disasters such as flood, fire, and earthquakes, and being diagnosed with a life threatening illness. A child's risk of developing PTSD is related to the seriousness of the trauma, whether the trauma is repeated, the child's closeness to the trauma, and his/her relationship to the victim(s).
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the more severe anxiety disorders of childhood treated by psychiatrists. OCD is seen in as many as 1 in 200 children and adolescents. OCD is characterized by recurrent obsessions and/or compulsions that are intense enough to cause severe discomfort. Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are unwanted and cause anxiety or distress. Frequently, they are unrealistic or irrational. Obsessions are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems or preoccupations. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or rituals (like hand washing, hoarding, keeping things in order, checking something over and over) or mental acts (like counting, repeating words silently, avoiding). In OCD, the obsessions or compulsions cause significant anxiety or distress, or they interfere with the child's normal routine, academic functioning, social activities, or relationships. The obsessive thoughts may vary with the age of the child and may change over time. A younger child with OCD may fear that harm will occur to himself or a family member. For example, they may fear that an intruder will enter the house through an unlocked door or window. The child may compulsively check all the doors and windows of his home after his parents are asleep in an attempt to relieve the anxiety. The child may then fear that he may have accidentally unlocked a door or window while last checking and locking, and then must compulsively check again. An older child or a teenager with OCD may fear that he will become ill with germs, AIDS, or contaminated food. To cope with his/her feelings, a child may develop "rituals" (a behavior or activity that gets repeated). Sometimes the obsession and compulsion are linked; "I fear this bad thing will happen if I stop checking or hand washing, so I can't stop even if it doesn't make any sense." Research shows that OCD is a brain disorder and tends to run in families, although this does not mean the child will definitely develop symptoms. A child may also develop OCD with no previous family history.
When Should I Seek Help for My Child?
Anxiety is a natural part of life. Anxiety in children is expected and normal at specific times in their development. For example, from about age 7 months through the preschool years, healthy youngsters may show intense distress (anxiety) at times of separation from their parents or other persons with whom they are close. Young children may also have short-lived fears, (such as fear of the dark, storms, animals, or strangers). Assurance and support from parents is usually all that is required to ease these fears. When anxieties become severe and begin to interfere with the daily activities of childhood, such as attending school and making friends, parents should consider seeking the evaluation and advice of a child and adolescent psychiatrist.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Patients who received the original version of Edwards Lifesciences Corp's non-invasive heart valve replacement system had a nearly identical death rate after three years as those who had open-heart surgery, with no increased risk of stroke, according to results from a clinical trial.
The data, presented on Monday at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) scientific meeting in San Francisco, should provide doctors some reassurance about the durability of the Edwards transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), known as Sapien.
Three years after implantation, the death rates for any reason in high-risk patients deemed eligible for surgery was nearly identical at 44.2 percent for Sapien and 44.8 percent for those who got new valves via standard open-heart surgery.
Heart related death rates also mirrored each other at three years - 30.1 percent for Sapien versus 30.2 percent for surgery.
"It gives me a level of comfort that ... the late mortality is largely associated not with the device implanted, but with the intrinsic patient co-morbidities," said Dr. Martin Leon, a co-lead investigator of the trial.
TAVR allows surgeons to replace diseased heart valves by threading the new valve into place through an artery, sparing patients the chest cracking, open-heart surgery.
"These valves are showing to be durable," said Dr. Miguel Quinones, chairman of the 2013 ACC meeting, who was not involved in the study. "There is no question TAVR is here to stay."
The Sapien and newer generations of the valve system is widely considered to be Edwards' most important product line. Edwards' shares were off 2.4 percent at $88.14 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Because it is relatively new and there were concerns about a high number of strokes seen shortly after the procedure in the 699-patient study, the big unanswered questions around Sapien were how it would hold up long after implantation and whether a higher stroke rate would persist after 30 days.
The three-year follow-up data should help to answer those questions.
"There seems to be no structural deterioration thus far," said Dr. Vinod Thourani, co-lead researcher of the Partner study, who presented the findings at the meeting.
The stroke data was also encouraging. At three years, the Sapien stroke rate was 8.2 percent compared with 9.3 percent for the surgical group.
The stroke rate with Sapien had been higher up to two years. But between two and three years there were nine strokes in the surgical arm and only one in the Sapien arm.
"So whatever early tendency that was observed that indicated a higher stroke frequency with TAVR has been more than negated with the late follow-up," Leon, director of the Center for Interventional Vascular Therapy at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, said in an interview.
"The main message is there really is no constant hazard related to TAVR that suggests that stroke rates will be higher over time," said Leon, who earlier at the meeting presented data that compared a newer, smaller and easier-to-use version of the Sapien already available in Europe with the original.
A problem of blood leakage around the valve persisted and was overwhelmingly higher with Sapien, researchers said. Thourani, from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, said even mild leakage is associated with higher death rates after valve replacement.
However, Leon said, "If you look at sub group of patients who had none or trace valvular leak, they had an extraordinarily low mortality - half that of surgery."
Edwards is attempting to address the problem with newer valves in its developmental pipeline that include a skirt or cuff around the valve designed to prevent leakage.
The Sapien, which has been supplanted in Europe and elsewhere by the newer Sapien XT, was first approved in the United States in late 2011, only for patients considered too frail to survive open-heart surgery. That was expanded last autumn for a wider group of high-risk patients of the type included in this study.
Dr. Patrick O'Gara, the incoming the ACC president who hosted a panel that discussed the data, said concerns about high death rates must be put into perspective.
"Let's remember that we're dealing with a group of patients that are 84 years of age on average and our expectations for these outcomes need to be tempered," O'Gara said. "We have durability information in the octogenarian group over three years of time."
For U.S. approval to be expanded into younger and lower-risk patients, Edwards must continue to demonstrate the long-term safety and durability of the system. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has asked for five years of follow-up data.
Of the latest findings, Leon said: "From as much as you can determine from an additional year of follow-up, these are all encouraging signs."

Jonah Goldberg: Hillary is no Barack
Many liberals would like you to think it's 'her turn.' But there's reason for skepticism.
In a move that had some of us dropping to our knees and shaking our fists at an indifferent God, C-SPAN recently announced that it is launching its "Road to the White House" programming for 2016.
For others, however, the response was more like "it's about time!" Chief among them is that happy band of political warriors who think it's "Hillary's turn."
Last week, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi admitted that she prays Hillary will run. Also last week, Emily's List, the liberal feminist organization dedicated to getting liberal feminist women elected to public office, announced it's big new "Madam President" campaign dedicated to removing some imaginary "men only" sign on the Oval Office.
Emily's List President Stephanie Schriock says the effort isn't — wink, wink — all about Clinton, but she concedes, "There's one name on all our minds: Hillary Clinton. Voters across the country are excited about her possible run. But if she decides not to run, we still have a deep bench of incredible female leaders to choose from."
Translation: If Hillary runs, get out of her — and our — way. The same day Emily's List announced its spectacularly unsubtle Madam President campaign, Quinnipiac released a poll finding that Clinton was the overwhelming favorite of Democratic primary voters. Sixty-five percent said they preferred Hillary, compared with 13% for next-in-line Joe Biden (who also may think he's owed the presidency because it's "his turn").
'Rendezvous with destiny'?
Ironically, Clinton might be borrowing a page from Barack Obama. In a less ham-fisted way, the Obama campaign cultivated a sense that America had a "rendezvous with destiny" (Franklin Roosevelt's famous phrase) to elect the first African-American president. Obama himself often underplayed the point, merely referring to the "historic" nature of the election, his candidacy, etc. His supporters weren't nearly so understated.
Director Spike Lee declared in the summer of '08 that when Obama is elected, "it will change everything. ... You'll have to measure time by 'Before Obama' and 'After Obama.'"
Though some of us might have rolled our eyes at that kind of hyperbole, it was precisely the kind of thing that got millions of idealistic young people and other first-time voters to rush to the polls for Obama.
The question is, in 2016 — or, if you prefer, A.O. Year One — will the same formula work?
Maybe. But there's reason for skepticism. Leave aside the fact that it is very rare for a party to hold the White House for three elections in a row. George H.W. Bush pulled it off in 1988. Before that it was FDR in 1940 and then Teddy Roosevelt in 1904.
First of all, gender and race have different historic and political frequencies. Charges of sexism, deserved or undeserved, simply do not have the same sting as charges of racism. And while most Americans would like to see a female president, that aspiration doesn't pull on the heartstrings in the same way.
More specifically, the simple fact is that Hillary Clinton is no Barack Obama. In 2008, Obama was still an exciting unknown. Clinton has been in the news for two decades. And even with Obama's glory in full fade, it's worth noting he's still a vastly more compelling personality. Watch January's (journalistically vapid) 60 Minutesinterview with both Clinton and Obama. The president comes across as engaged and energetic. Clinton seems like the person who comes up to tell you "there's no eating in the library."
Fickle approval ratings
Her supporters cite her high approval ratings upon stepping down as secretary of State. But that popularity almost surely has more to do with the fact she stayed out of the unappetizing food fight of domestic politics over the past five years.
George W. Bush's approval ratings have gone up over the past few years for the same reasons. But if Bush publicly started taking controversial positions, it's doubtful that his approval trends would continue. The same holds for Clinton. The sooner she starts acting the partisan she is — and has to be to win the Democratic nomination — the sooner she will return to her role as a polarizing figure.
Clinton's performance as secretary of State almost surely has nothing to do with her poll numbers because her performance was awfully lackluster. It's damning with faint praise that often the first — and sometimes only — thing her promoters cite as an accomplishment is that she flew a "million miles" as secretary of State. Who cares? Talk about celebrating quantity over quality. Her tenures as senator and first lady are pretty light on major accomplishments as well.
Maybe she can pull it off. Maybe after eight years of a fairly moribund economy (so far at least) and eight years of vicious partisan squabbling, Hillary Clinton can win with essentially a "more of the same" economic agenda, a lot of hoopla about being a woman and excitement over it being "her turn." And maybe Pelosi is right to start praying already.
Jonah Goldberg, fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and National Review contributing editor, is author of The Tyranny of Clichés, now out in paperback. He is also a member of USA TODAY's Board of Contributors.
In addition to its own editorials, USA TODAY publishes diverse opinions from outside writers, including our Board of Contributors.
An earlier version of this column misspelled the first name of Emily's List President Stephanie Schriock. Also, in listing the few presidents who won a third presidential election in a row for their political party, he should have included Republican Herbert Hoover in 1928.

Three years after Haiti earthquake, loss of hope, desperation
The narrow corridor home deep inside the mountain was supposed to be a new beginning, a place where Alexandra Simin could have a fresh shot at life after nearly two years of sleeping on a dirt floor in a fetid tent city.
But 14 months after trading in her small tent for the one-room cinder block shack in the hillside slum called "Jalousie" or Jealousy, the mother of two and survivor of Haiti's catastrophic Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake was again without a home.
"I always thought that after a year things would be easier; there would be jobs in the country and I could find work," said Simin, 25, as she faced her second eviction in as many months.
"I really thought life would have gotten better."
Three years after the monstrous 7.0 quake, and a year after the Haitian government, with help from the international community, began emptying the most visible tent cities and returning dwellers to neighborhoods, the number of displaced quake victims living on public plazas and roadways has dropped significantly.
But in a little-noticed consequence of the removals, many have been forced to return to the capital's teeming slums. That's a far cry from what the Haitian government and the international community, which has spent billions here, promised in the quake's aftermath — to create jobs, build homes and construct a "new Haiti."
The situation has caused some in the international community to question whether the focus should have been creating jobs rather than housing.
"You're not going to get a nice housing estate even in a poor area by creating jobs because people will put up what they like and make decisions about how they use their money,'' said Nigel Fisher, who heads the United Nation's humanitarian operations in Haiti. "But in the end, at least, they are not being dependent. They are making their own decisions. I think that's really important. It's something we missed."
In trying to rebuild, Simin and other former tent dwellers say stitching back their tattered lives is proving to be as elusive as the lofty promises. They say little has changed since the quake as poverty deepens, reconstruction stalls, political paralysis take root and cholera and chronic disasters become the norm.
"The country is becoming more and more difficult to live in," said Simin, sitting outside a friend's one-room home, where she sleeps on the floor with her two children. "We haven't seen change. People have problems with food, problems with schools, problems with housing. Once you have a problem with finding a place to sleep, you just might as well just die. There's no living."
Simin and others say it's clear that neither the government nor the international community had a plan for what would happen to them once they left the tent cities. Their growing sense of despair comes as the aid groups that flooded Haiti in the aftermath either cut programs or leave as funds dry up — and as half of the promised $5.3 billion in donor pledges remain outstanding.
Meanwhile, Haiti is facing even tougher economic times, according to a recent evaluation by the International Monetary Fund: rising food prices have helped increase inflation almost 2 percent since June to 6.8 percent; the forecast growth in gross domestic product, once projected at 7.8 percent, is now down to 2.5 percent because of the government's slow execution of public projects; and a spring drought followed by two storms this hurricane season created more than $170 million in crop losses and put an additional 1.5 million Haitians in danger of hunger.
"In a sense, you are no longer talking about the earthquake, you are talking about poverty," said Fisher, about the ongoing challenges being faced by those leaving the camps. "We are talking about the dearth of resources for taking on the transformation of a country, which has very poor infrastructure, which has most people living in poverty."
"Even the people in the camps: Why are they there? It's because they don't have any alternatives. They don't have jobs," Fisher said. "This whole issue: Do you build houses or can you use that money to create jobs so that people can make their own choices, I've come more and more to think shouldn't we be focusing on jobs?"
Before the quake, Pauline Louis and her husband Wilbert Jean-Louis scraped a living on his carpentry skills and her sidewalk sales of stylish, secondhand American clothes known as pepe. The money wasn't much but it was just enough to keep a roof over their heads and care for Louis' two children from a previous relationship.
These days, even pepe is hard to find.
"Some days you go downtown to buy the 'pepe' and you return just as you left — empty-handed," said Louis, 37.
Even Jean-Louis' hand-made wooden china cabinets and delicately crafted headboards, which sold before the quake, sit for months on a sidewalk along a busy Petionville street.
"There is no money in the streets; no activity. The country is broke," he said one recent afternoon, carving a flower on a new headboard at the nameless sidewalk workshop.
For months, the couple have been struggling, trying to come up with the $325 to keep their tiny one-room apartment, also in the Jalousie slum, for another year. Initially, the owner asked $625 but Louis, a tough negotiator, got him to drop his price.
The place isn't much. There's a small cooking area off the main room where the couple eat, sleep and receive visitors. The inside walls are painted pink; a wall unit, made by Jean-Louis, holds an old model 13-inch television and a few stuffed animals while another is stacked with ceramic dishes and cups. The couple's twin bed doubles as a couch.
Jean-Louis' 22-year-old brother, Gerald, and Louis' 6-year-old cousin, Tracey, whom she recently took in after the girl's parents died, also live with them — along with the family's pet cat.
The living conditions are far different from tent living, Louis said. But with no steady income, and only the goodwill of her landlord keeping a roof over their heads, she wonders whether she would have been better with a job instead of the house.
"We were happy when [the International Organization for Migration] came to remove us. We were living under stress," she said. "But what I see is that we've traded one stress for another stress."
Francois Desruisseaux, IOM's program manager for camp management, said surveys showed that while living in the camps, people considered shelter as their main priority. But after relocating to neighborhoods, shelter soon becomes a fourth priority. Finding a job, followed by food and education, become their top concerns.
While the average camp resident received $500 in rental subsidy, they also received an additional $150 for moving and other expenses to help them out.
"Considering many Haitians make barely $2 a day, this can represent close to five months' salary for some," Desruisseaux said. "We believe the rental subsidy is a much better situation than living in a camp and returning [homeless quake victims] to their pre-earthquake environment; in some cases in a better situation than they were prior to the earthquake."
After IOM paid the $437 to her new landlord for a year's rent, Simin invested the rest. She bought $37.50 in candy to resell in hopes of having money come in. She also paid $50 toward her daughters', ages 5 and 8, school fees. But three months later, school administrators sent the girls home after she failed to come up with the remaining $275, Simin said. Days after Christmas, she hit rock bottom again: the friend and fellow quake victim whom she had temporarily moved in with was packing her things to move out on New Year's Day after also being unable to renew her lease. "If she leaves, I have no choice but to also leave," said Simin, who recently moved in with another friend, also living in Jalousie.
An ongoing IOM-led evaluation of returnees won't be finalized until the end of this month. But preliminary results involving 500 families show that all remain in "some sort of accommodations." In many cases though, they have either doubled up, moved back in with families or found cheaper housing, those familiar with the survey said.
Those involved in the government's rebuilding efforts, particularly President Michel Martelly's relocation and revitalization of six camps attached to 16 neighborhoods, say progress has been made.
In the last few months, the government has opened a state university and industrial park in the north, where it also unveiled a new asphalt runway to accommodate large carriers. The quake-damaged National Palace was finally demolished, and Haiti celebrated the opening of a new international airport arrival lounge and a privately-financed luxury hotel in the capital.
The number of homeless quake residents, which peaked at 1.5 million shortly after the disaster left more than 300,000 dead, has dropped to 347,284 as of December, IOM said.
Since the government launched its returnee program in 2011, some 635,322 people have been helped by the international community to move out of the camps through either rental subsides, transitional shelters or home repairs, IOM said.
"We know there are still camps, but as you drive on a regular day you don't see much camps," said Clement Belizaire, director of the government's camp relocation and neighborhood rehabilitation program who puts the number of quake homeless at 290,000. "The first priority of the government was public squares; the second was schools and then sports infrastructures. We cleared all the major public structures; we cleared all the major sports infrastructures; we cleared all of the major schools."
But with 450 camp sites still dotting Haiti's hilly terrain, challenges remain. Tackling them, humanitarians say, requires Haiti to not only prioritize and put in strong, accountable government institutions, but to make the transition from short-term humanitarian aid to more sustainable development.
"You cannot continue to implement stopgap measures to deal with specific short-term issues," said George Ngwa, spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs here. "Haiti goes from one emergency to another. Every time it appears, we are making progress. A disaster takes us back to zero — or minus."
Before the quake, Jean Guerrier Sanon lived with two of his sisters in Port-au-Prince and got by with help from his parents, rural farmers who paid his school fees with the earnings from their beans, yam and banana plantations in the outskirts of Jeremie. After the quake, everyone went their separate ways including him. He took up residence inside a tent on the Champ de Mars, the public square of Haitian independence heroes in front of the now razed presidential palace.
With the lease on the bedroom he rented for $500-a-year inside a private home up next month, Sanon said he's running out of options. He has been unable to find a job, and any hope of having his parents help out, he said, was washed away in October when Hurricane Sandy left their crops in ruin.
Moving in with any of his eight brothers and sisters, isn't an option either, he said. "You're 27 years old, and not working. Even if they used to help you out, it's not easy to be sitting up in their house doing nothing," he said.
Looking out at the now empty Champ de Mars from his doorway, Sanon said its clearing was a "big victory" but bittersweet. "Once they uprooted us," he said, "they should have turned and look back."

AnnaCVP needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 89 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Our goal is to call for the expansion of critical programs like the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps & Teach for America.
To this end, we have begun an effort to collect thousands of student signatures showing our support for bigger, better and more accessible opportunities to serve: locally, nationally and globally.
We require a logo to go with our new website- ideally, it will reflect the youthful energy and optimism of the campaign, as well as an original take on the spirit of service and activism.
More details can be found at http://www.campaignforpublicservice.org. The website is being overhauled, so it should not be a factor in the design.

Since we're currently working on the hypothesis that we are cycle-syncing over the Internet, illustrator I Heart Guts' menstrual flow-chart is both handy and topical. Legends like "Day 13: HORMONE PARTY!" and "LUTEAL LUNACY!" make bleeding seem...fun.
I Heart Guts explains herself thusly:
The guts grew from a single drawing of a broken heart, after a string of bad hookups, dead-end relationships and lame-o boyfriends. At the time, I was also doing a lot of drinking, so a sad liver and bummed-out lung followed.
Sounds like our kind of lady. I'm raising my it's-after-noon cup o' Blog Juice to you, whoever you are!
Meanwhile, I think I have an EGG PREPARING TO ESCAPE, so, let me get right on that.

Look what arrived on my doorstep a few days ago. The great folks at POM Wonderful sent me a sample of the two new flavors that they've developed. Kiwi and Nectarine pomegranate juice will be coming soon to a grocery store near you. Both of the flavors are very tasty but I really like the Kiwi.
This is the second time I've gotten a box from POM. The first box contained 6 small regular bottles of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice. I used some of that to make Pomegranate gelato. I just went basic and simple with this juice and added a big splash to some sparkling water. Very refreshing!
Thanks POM it's always fun to get an unexpected package containing a wonderful surprise!

Where art thou, Panaghoy?
Speaking of non-Tagalog films, I discovered a Chavacano film on YouTube called El Amor di Pilar (Pilar's Love). The film is produced by brothers Patrick & Paco Almaden of Monad Studios. The plot surrounds a widower from Manila who goes to Zamboanga and falls in love with the sister of his deceased wife. The film does have Tagalog in it but there is a lot of Chavacano in it.
The next non-Tagalog film was brought to my attention last night by Jason Laxamana of his film studio Kalalangan Kamaru; he is a 20 year-old Angeles City (Pampanga) native as well as a broadcast communications student at the University of the Philippines Diliman. He is creating what looks like a horror film in Kapampangan called Anak ning Kapri (Child of Kapre). It's Laxamana's goal to make this film completely in Kapampangan, right down to the credits! Kudos to him!
I can't wait to see both of them. :-D In any case, the clips are below. Enjoy!

Last night a friend asked me what my province was. I replied Laguna. Then she asked me what "Lakay" meant. I've never heard of that word in Laguna, told her I just hear it in Manila--there's a student org in UP named Lakay. So, my question is, since you appear to be a linguist, what is "lakay"? Thanks.

text: The beauty about Indian culture lies in its age-long prevailing tradition of the joint family system under which even extended members of a family, like one's parents, children, the children's spouses and their offspring, etc. live together. The elder-most, usually the male member is the head in the joint Indian family system who makes all important decisions and rules, whereas other family members abide by it dutifully with full respect. Today we have a generation of people who after having lived in a joint family system have taken the initiative to break out and start a nuclear family. It is exciting to explore experiment and establish a living set- up on one's own. The nuclear family gives immense freedom from traditions and ways of life that the old system is ridden with. Hence, whenever and wherever the parents and their married children cannot get along and when the children can afford to build a house to call their own, nuclear families began to form. However, when we compare both the systems, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Sahara One's new social drama 'NEEM NEEM SHAHAD SHAHAD' deals with the nuances of living in a traditional joint family system versus the new nuclear family arrangement.

Let's get to know each other!
I wanted to create this topic with the sole intention of seeking fellow Afghans, and foreigners who are interested in Afghanistan. I request everyone to tell us something about them; preferably, Afghans should describe their current conditions, their lives and such; I request the non-Afghans to elaborate their interests regarding Afghanistan, and how they feel for the Afghan people.
So, people... Let it rip!
