Dot-com domain names
People are naturally attracted to quality dot-com domain names. It is well established that the dot-com domain name is the best extension there is. There is nothing better than a quality dot-com domain name for recognition and credibility.
A quality domain name that is unique is probably the most effective and best marketing tool for a successful Internet business.
Demand continues to grow and it is easy to understand why. High quality generic dot-com domain names rarely come on the market. All the good ones are already registered and very few are for sale. When a domain name is already developed very few owners want to part with it.
A high quality generic dot-com domain name is one of the most important necessity for a professional site and it will appreciate in value while using it.
A serious business will not consider anything else than a quality dot-com domain name. Clients will find it easier to remember a quality generic dot-com domain name that is relevant and means something.
Some people may consider a new suffix. We find it extremely hard to see any benefit that a new suffix may offer.
The new suffixes may attract new inexperienced operators, but they won't attract any serious operator that does not first own the dot-com version of the domain name. We believe that before long, these new operators will find themselves with a virtually useless and worthless domain name.
The more we see and hear about these new suffixes, and the more we get the strong feeling that it is a huge marketing scam and rip off for the inexperienced.
See this realistic article for more details.
It is easy to recognize a good domain name when you see it, and people will instantly recognize a bad one.
A quality dot-com domain name that is unique helps to be the market leader. Customers immediately know that the site is serious. A high quality generic domain name helps to build up credibility.
With a quality generic dot-com domain name:
- Sales and conversion rates will be much higher.
- The share of the market will increase.
- The site will get much more repeat business and quality business.
- It adds credibility.
- It can replace expensive marketing.
- It has enormous potential for growth.
- The dot-com is the main extension for international business on the Internet.
- When people see a unique quality dot-com domain name, they develop a positive first impression.
- The domain name is the brand on the Internet.
- It pays to own the best possible domain name.
Bad domain names:
It is a lot easier to find a low quality domain name because there are so many on the market.
There is no point to expect users to remember a bad domain name because they will not.
A low quality domain name is inferior and will remain inferior. It is a liability, and it is for people that missed the boat or do not plan to be in business for long. Consumers very quickly associate it with a loser.
Some losers will try to convince customers that any domain name is good enough simply because they are using it. It goes from strange and weird domain names to the wrong extensions or suffixes.
This is a strategy for losers and it does not work with consumers. Consumers have a strong preference for a quality domain name. It attracts them and give them confidence, which is essential on the Internet.
The vast majority of domain names offered on the market are very low quality. Most are useless and worthless. The more you search and the more junk you will find. It pays to stay focused on quality and not consider anything else.

Extreme Life
Posted: 12/07/09
Members of NASA´s IceBite team are studying the only spot on Earth where the terrain resembles that of the Phoenix landing site on Mars. The place: a mile above sea level in Antarctica´s McMurdo Dry Valleys. Click the Ask a Scientist button above to ask questions of the science team in the field.
All scientists who visit Antarctica are issued required cold-weather clothing, which includes a pair of yellow "bunny boots."
Margarita Marinova/IceBiteMBARI
NASA's IceBite project will spend three austral summers in Antarctica testing ice-penetrating drills for a future mission to Mars. A
team of seven scientists
is in Antarctica now for the first field season, installing scientific probes in the ice and frozen ground, and scouting for sites where the drills will be tested the following year. One of the team members, Margarita Marinova, is writing a blog of the team's activities. In this first set of entries, she describes preparations for deployment to the field.
Getting to Antarctica - Almost
The trip to Antarctica started with first going to Christchurch in New Zealand: the first staging area. After a needed night of rest from the 16-hour flight, the following day we went to the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) center to start getting set up. We were given our first set of instructions about Antarctica, and were given our standard issue Antarctic gear: that includes a huge red fluffy jacket (it's incredibly warm!), many sets of long underwear and fleece, hats and gloves of all types, and big white bunny boots that are practically guaranteed to keep your feet warm even in the coldest of times. We had to try out all of this clothing to make sure it fit. This was lots of fun, though with all the layers on we looked like huge red marshmallows and fast movements were not really an option…
Having gotten our clothing from the CDC we were all ready to leave for McMurdo the next morning! Our bags packed, our alarms set for the 6:00 am airport reporting time, and excitement building, it was hard to sleep the night before! So when we got the call at 4:30 am that our flight was cancelled due to bad weather in McMurdo, it was rather disappointing. But then again, with any field work in extreme environments, bad weather is just part of it all. As it turns out, for the next three days McMurdo was pounded by a severe storm – even by Antarctic standards! It was a "condition 1" storm, which means that all personnel were not allowed to leave whichever building they were in!
Actually Getting to Antarctica!
The cargo-filled C-17 transport plane that flew the IceBite team from Christchurch, New Zealand, to McMurdo in Antarctica.
Margarita Marinova/IceBite
After a few days of flight delays (and so some time to explore around Christchurch) we were finally on our flight to McMurdo! When we go to the airport, there is a special check-in procedure: weighing everything to make sure the aircraft was balanced properly, checking that we had all the necessary cold weather gear, and listening to a number of safety briefings. We flew on a C-17 – that's considered flying in style! With a C-17 the flight down takes about 5 hours.
There are practically no windows on the plane; our flight was full of cargo, which was what constituted our beautiful view for the flight. The less posh way to travel here is on a C-130. They are also pretty amazing airplanes, but are prop planes and take about 8 hour to get to Antarctica. A great bonus on our flight was that we were welcome to go up to the cockpit and look around! It's just amazing! One of the co-pilots was nice enough to take the time and explain to me all the buttons and displays! And there are many! Here's an interesting tidbit for you: the C-17 can be refueled in mid-flight, extending its nominal 15-hour flight time to pretty much anything that's needed!
Getting off the airplane in Antarctica was surreal! There had been 5 hours since Christchurch, but with no windows to show the changing landscape, it was hard to believe just where we were! The landscape here is incredibly beautiful: a white expanse with mountains rising in the distance. We were quickly whisked away to McMurdo base where we had our first set of briefings – safety, environment, what we are supposed to do to get ourselves set up, and so much more. After collecting our luggage and getting set up in our assigned dorm rooms, it was time to start setting everything else up so we would be ready to go into the field as quickly as possible.
You Can Find Everything in McMurdo

Jen Heldmann/IceBite
The two things that have truly amazed me about McMurdo so far are the sophistication of the base as a whole, and the large number of training courses that are required before one is allowed to leave for the field. McMurdo truly is like a little town. People had told me that before, but it was hard to believe without seeing it for myself. McMurdo has a large mess hall where we eat all of our meals: and the food is phenomenal! There is an awesome carpenter's shop, and a metal working shop – they can build pretty much anything. There is a department from which you can check out vehicles of various sizes and abilities. A shuttle and taxi are available at all times if you need to get around. There is a coffee shop and two pubs. There is a gift shop, a post office, a mail room, cargo areas, a large food store where you get your food for the field, numerous staging areas. There are even at least two gyms! This place is truly amazing!!
And then there are the training courses. Many of the courses are to educate everyone on how to protect the beautiful and fragile environment around us – for example, McMurdo does an incredible job at recycling most of its waste, and the remainder is shipped off the continent at the end of the season. This is practicing "leave no trace" on a truly grand scale. Also because of the harsh weather in Antarctica, and because of the very unpredictable weather which can turn the harsh weather into extreme weather, there are many safety courses which are required before one can get out into the field.
The most notable of these is the "Happy Camper" course that everyone is required to take. Happy Camper encompasses some class lectures, but more importantly setting up camp in a snow field (on a glacier) and spending the night there without any instructors or other help. The setting up of camp entails expert instructions on building a wind wall out of cut out snow blocks, setting up various types of tents, tying them down so that they can withstand up to 70 mph winds, burying them, setting up the kitchen, making dinner, building snow trenches, what you would do in emergency situations, and then how to take care of all your clothing so that it can keep you as warm and comfortable as possible. This truly is an experience! For our Happy Camper, we had the additional excitement of having to take down our camp during some rather serious wind (I would guess about 30 mph sustained wind). The wind had also drifted in a lot of snow overnight, which meant that a lot of snow shoveling was required to get the tents and supports out. I now have a rather different respect for the weather and for surviving out in the snow!
Countdown to Deployment!
Thirty mph winds made The tent camp set up by the IceBite team in 30 mph winds, during Happy Camper training at MucMurdo before deployment to the field.
Jen Heldmann/IceBite
After coming back from Happy Camper, and sleeping in, it was time to really get going on all the equipment and supplies we need to get ready for deploying into the field. Everything from getting our food for the next 3 weeks, to building last minute probes, getting all the collection equipment we need (vials, bags, etc), making sure all of our personal sleeping gear is in order, and anything else you can imagine that you need for a very long camping trip – plus all the additional science and safety requirements because we are doing this in a remote and extreme environment. Today we carried most of our gear to the helicopter staging area. For the remainder of tonight and tomorrow we need to finish setting up some of our science equipment, and then test some of it in the area surrounding McMurdo – just to make super sure that we are ready for deploying everything in the field.
Our helicopter flight out to our first site is set for Monday. Can't wait! Wish us good weather and clear skies. :)

Newfoundland Fisheries Minister Keith Hutchings announced $300,000 for harvesting and processing upgrades for the new Ocean Choice International processing plant in Fortune at its official opening today.
In a news release, the province said the opening of the plant fulfills an important requirement in an agreement between the company and the provincial government to create significant processing employment in the region, and generate greater value from provincial groundfish resources.
The new provincial funding comes from the Fisheries Technology and New Opportunities Program.
"The provincial government's agreement with Ocean Choice International reflects our commitment to maximizing economic benefits from our fish resources, and ensuring the well-being of residents in rural areas," Hutchings said in a news release. "Today's opening is an important step toward achieving these goals, and I am pleased to announce $300,000 from the provincial government to assist with integrating innovative harvesting and processing technology to support the long-term success of this facility."
The minister said the funding provided by the province will support the integration of three separate technological innovations — new harvesting technology that has been proven to achieve greater catch rates and minimize seabed contact, faster and more energy efficient equipment for thawing seafood during processing, and X-ray technology that would improve the yield of filleted product.
"Careful planning, negotiation, and investments by this government have created economic gains for the people of the Burin Peninsula, who have had a long-standing connection to the groundfish industry in this province. This is a great day for the region, and an achievement that we will build on in the coming years," said Justice Minister Darin King, the MHA for Grand Bank.
In addition to opening the Fortune processing facility, OCI has announced it would expand its operations in the area. The company has leased a vessel, the Ocean Breeze, to harvest cod that will create additional activity in the plant.
OCI president and CEO Martin Sullivan said Ocean Choice is very proud of its investment in its operations in Fortune, which have exceeded the $1 million committed in its original agreement with the provincial government and will generate "tremendous" economic activity in the area for years to come.
"We appreciate the provincial government's assistance with our efforts to make groundfish harvesting and processing viable in the province, and look forward to bringing high quality yellowtail and cod products to markets around the world," Sullivan said.
The province says OCI is committed to creating a minimum of 110 full-time processing positions for a minimum of five years.
It also says the agreement between Ocean Choice International and the provincial government has improved the utilization of the province's yellowtail resource and generated more economic activity for the fishery. In 2011, 3,955 tonnes of yellowtail was harvested, but in 2013 more than 7,500 tonnes has been caught.

Brain chip enables injured rats to control movements
Prosthesis bypasses damaged area to connect distant neurons
Elissa Monroe/University of Kansas Medical Center
With a futuristic brain patch, brain-injured rats regained the ability to reach out and grab a bit of food. The results, in which a newly created electrical device bypasses a damaged brain area, may ultimately lead to ways to repair damage from stroke, blast injuries and diseases such as Parkinson's.
The findings, published December 9 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, "open the door for new experiments and new ways of approaching brain repair after injury," says S. Thomas Carmichael of UCLA.

Cheap Zombie Thrills with Killing Floor
Killing Floor is a co-op first person zombie shooter from London based indie developer Tripwire Interactive available for just under 20 bucks on Steam. The game thrusts you into the role of military and police survivors in the midst of a "specimen" outbreak of cloned soldier-monsters (zombies). The only option for survival is to exterminate the monster hordes, preferably in the most violent means possible.
On a standard server up to 6 players band together in an attempt withstand the various waves of shambling horrors. The enemies range from the meek grunt zombies known as Clots to chainsaw equipped Scrakes. After surviving the various waves, players must fight through one last battle while facing the big boss known as Patriarch. If it wasn't bad enough trying to fight through the horde alone, the Patriarch is equipped with a surgically attached mini-gun, rocket launcher, cloaking and the ability to heal himself (whilst conveniently cloaked).
In between waves players have a chance to spend cash procured from slaughtering zombies in the traveling trade shop, allowing refills on ammunition, body armor, grenades and a wide variety of armaments. In the limited time between rounds one must find the trader, make their purchases and be ready for the next wave requiring forethought on what transactions will need to be made.
Since release, Tripwire has released several major content updates to the game, proving their commitment to further developing their product. After a hiatus from the game I was recently surprised with an overhaul on the trade system, more than twice as many maps to choose from and several new weapons. Tripwire also offers DLC available for purchase, but these only create cosmetic changes in characters and have no impact on the gameplay itself. It is indeed commendable that they are consistently working to improve the game for the existing player base without any additional purchases.
The gameplay certainly isn't as deep as others in the genre (Left 4 Dead 2 comes to mind, particularly the versus mode), but it doesn't pretend or need to be. Killing Floor is a fantastic game to whittle away a few hours at a time while blasting through horde after horde without worrying about being ambushed by an enemy team. If killing flood after flood of zombies is your bag, this game is for you. While I do prefer the Left 4 Dead franchise overall, this is the game I turn to when I'm looking for PvE co-operative zombie smashing fun.Read More

Summer of the Monkeysby Wilson Rawls
The last thing a fourteen-year-old boy expects to find along an old Ozark river bottom is a tree full of monkeys. Jay Berry Lee's grandpa had an explanation, of course--as he did for most things. The monkeys had escaped from a traveling circus, and there was a handsome reward in store for anyone who could catch them. Grandpa said there wasn't any animal that couldn't be caught somehow, and Jay Berry started out believing him . . . But by the end of the "summer of the monkeys," Jay Berry Lee had learned a lot more than he ever bargained for--and not just about monkeys. He learned about faith, and wishes coming true, and knowing what it is you really want. He even learned a little about growing up . . . This novel, set in rural Oklahoma around the turn of the century, is a heart-warming family story--full of rich detail and delightful characters--about a time and place when miracles were really the simplest of things. . .

The Architect's Journal takes a look at their favorite architectural works in Star Wars from the Ewoks' Bright Tree Village on Endor to the Death Star itself. The article also explains where you can see its influence in buildings on our own planet.
Here's what Architects Journal had to say about the buildings of Cloud City:
The simple and elegant 16-kilometre wide Cloud City sits high above the planet Bespin. Proprietor Lando Calrissian oversees a well-appointed luxury resort district on its upper levels, complete with hotels and casinos. Echoes of the saucer-shaped structure can be seen on Earth in John Lautner's Chemosphere House.

LANSING, Mich. — LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency is preparing to lay off 255 permanent full-time employees, at a time when critics say the agency already is struggling to handle its workload.
The scheduled Oct. 1 layoffs come on the heels of Aug. 31 layoffs of more 177 part-time temporary workers who were brought in to relieve congestion at the height of the recession. The staffing cuts leave about 800 employees, including about 100 answering phones at the agency's Lansing Call Center, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.
State officials say technology and online services will streamline operations, and the 432 layoffs will save $35 million annually. Agency officials say federal funding cuts prompted the staff reductions as the state's jobless rate has declined: The number of Michigan jobless workers peaked at 537,000 in June 2009 and as of Aug. 31, 167,348 workers were receiving jobless benefits.
"When you look at attempted calls over a period of months, you can see the number of calls the agency gets is staggering," Steve Arwood, the agency's director, told The News. "The phone system will not handle that amount of traffic. There's no conceivable way within the budget(ed) staffing plan to alleviate that issue."
Arwood said that new phone and computer systems expected to be completed by next September should improve service levels.
Kenneth Hreha was among those laid off last month after working as an unemployment insurance examiner for more than two years. He told The News and Mlive.com for a story published Monday that his own claim was delayed after numerous unsuccessful attempts to reach somebody on the phone.
Hreha said the staff was already overworked before the layoffs.
"When I call Consumers Power, I don't have to call 15 times," Hreha told The News. "How the agency is going to answer their workload with 400 less workers, that's beyond me."

A community is on edge as they await word on any new leads in the case where a woman quickly walked into an elementary school and abducted a 5-year-old girl.
Police on Tuesday released new surveillance video, which captured the moments before and after the abduction took place.
A camera perched at 61st and Larchwood in the city's Cobbs Creek neighborhood captured the woman with the girl as they walked further into the neighborhood. In the video, the abductor is seen carrying what police say is a distinct umbrella with a carved wooden handle.
Investigators are also looking for a teenager they believe to be named "China," who the victim says was in the same house where she was held captive.
FOX 29's Stephanie Salvatore reports the reward, which was $80,000, has now been increased to $85,000 as police search for their suspects. The additional $5,000 was donated by the Philadelphia Parking Authority. Organizers of the fund say the amount could grow as the investigation continues.
Residents on Tuesday night tell FOX 29 they are concerned. One neighbor described the feeling as "fear amongst the neighborhood."
Earlier Tuesday, FOX 29's Steve Keeley spoke with Michael Rosenberg, the new principal of Bryant Elementary School. Rosenberg was named to the position by district officials during a public meeting held at the school Monday night.
Police in Camden County are asking drivers to be alert after two carjackings since this weekend along one city street.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

If passed, the initiative would modify the state's Three Strikes law for repeat felons by requiring the third conviction to be for a serious or violent crime to warrant a mandatory 25-years-to-life prison sentence. As it stands, a person convicted of a felony, regardless of the type of crime, can be sentenced to the maximum penalty if the two previous convictions were serious or violent.
Supporters of the initiative say reforming the penalty will save the state money and help relieve California's overcrowded prisons. They say the reforms are more equitable and prevent criminals from serving unfairly long prison sentences for relatively minor crimes.
They argue that reducing the number of criminals sentenced under three strikes will save the state at least $100 million a year because of fewer parole hearings and earlier release dates. Prop 36 would double the maximum sentence of the crime for a third-time offender.
About 2,800 inmates now serving 25 years to life could have their sentences reduced if Proposition 36 passes.
That concerns opponents, who argue that the country's strictest Three Strikes law is on the books for a good reason—to lock up the state's most violent repeat offenders. They say no changes are necessary.
"The current Three Strikes law has directly and significantly acted to reduce crime in California," the California District Attorneys Association wrote in a position paper opposing the initiative. "The Three Strikes law is a valuable, essential, and proven tool in the fight against crime."
Opponents have been vastly outspent by supporters, who raised nearly $3 million. They are led by billionaire George Soros, who donated $1 million, and Stanford University lecturer and lawyer David Mills, who contributed $953,000 and helped write Proposition 36. Several police union have contributed to the opposition.
Supporters have used the money to air statewide television ads featuring Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen and San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, all of whom back the initiative.
"The state should not allow the misallocation of limited penal resources by having life prison sentences for those who do not pose a serious criminal threat to society," Cooley said. "The punishment should fit the crime."

The Religious Left takes on the new Arizona law.
An Ungodly Immigration Policy?
Ariz. Father who murdered daughter in honor killing will not face death penalty so that "there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim"
Faleh Almaleki murdered his daughter. He admits he killed her. But his attorney so skillfully played the race/religion card, prosecutors are afraid a death sentence would be labeled as a move prompted by Islamophobia, rather than justice.
Would a non-Muslim who ran down his daughter in a car be spared the death penalty?

Horrible service, poor customer service – It's never pretty when a long-time stylist leaves a salon, but I was amazed at how poorly Maximum Fx handled the departure of one of their long-time veteran stylists.
I wasn't told that he had left or that they had booked me with another stylist---they didn't even see fit to mention it when they gave me a reminder call the day before the appointment. This is poor, poor service--kind of felt baited and switched.
I didn't expect them to hand over the stylist's new contact info but give me the option of keeping the appointment and re-booking with the stylist of MY choosing at the very least.
Poor form. Won't be going back there again.
Not that great – I went to Erica at the Circle C location. I asked her to cut a one-half of an inch and she took about three to four. I was trying to grow my hair out so I was quite disappointed. I know it's sometimes standard for stylists to do this, but it's still very frustrating. I think they should listen to what the customer wants, and not just do their own thing.

What's happening: UV light and repetitive facial movements damage collagen and elastic tissue, so skin caves in.
Fix it for now: For a minute, rub a little petroleum jelly over lines pre-makeup. Skin swells so it looks smoother for a few hours.
Fix it for good: Use a treatment with retinol and peptides, which trigger production of line-erasing collagen.

Fatigue the Greatest Challenge for Dealing with DiabetesPosted: Friday, July 22, 2011
Eighty-five percent of people with diabetes say fatigue is their top challenge and it makes it difficult to get through their day, a U.S. survey indicates.
Living with diabetes is a constant challenge. Chronic fatigue may be symptomatic of the disease and can make it difficult for someone with diabetes to be active enough to control weight and properly self-manage their disease.
"People with poorly controlled diabetes are often dehydrated and vitamin B depleted. These can be significant factors causing fatigue," says Richard Corlin from Diabetica Research Solutions."
Many of the survey respondents say they use sugary beverages including soda to obtain energy, and these beverages rank third on a recent Harvard School of Public Health weight-gain study behind potato chips and French fries. However, only 6 percent say they use energy drinks, perhaps because most are aware that caffeine, sugar, herbal stimulants and other ingredients may be unhealthy options for them.

"I'm thrilled to be listing Cornerstone," said Cieciuch, who together with his team (including Beckie Pendergrass, Patrick Pelisson, Tom Hess, Kiplynn Smith and Eric Saunders) is "rolling out new pricing this spring that will undoubtedly represent unsurpassed value for such a high- quality product.
"Our team will strive to increase awareness and sales for this luxury development," he said. Cornerstone offers "Homestead" ranches ranging in size from one-fourth acre to over 100 acres, grouped around its Greg Norman-designed 7,945 yard par 72 golf course – a course Norman describes as "the best mountain golf course in the world," and features 3,000 acres of open space, a wildlife and environmental management plan and 412 proposed Homesteads ranging in size from one-fourth acre to over 100 acres.
With 18 holes of championship golf, a 20-acre practice facility, activities for residents of all ages and concierge services, Cornerstone offers a variety of outdoor activities. Its golf course has been honored by Golf Travel and Leisure Magazine (Top 25 Best Golf Course Communities, 2009); Golf Magazine (Best New Private Course of 2008); GolfWeek (Best New Course in Colorado and Best New Course in the U.S.) and LINKS (One of the Best New Courses of 2008).

Latitude 38 Vacation Rentals
TELLURIDE – Longtime Telluride homeowners Kevin Jones, Levi Silva and Jay and Linda Hellstrom have launched a vacation rental company, Latitude 38 Vacation Rentals (www.latitude38vacationrentals.com), focusing solely on the rental market. Latitude 38 will work to secure loyal repeat renters, by offering homeowners "unprecedented care" for their homes, Jones says. The company has no real-estate component, and will focus on attracting families (instead of large groups) and "repeat-customer" renters, and on maintaining the owner's asset "as if it were our own. Latitude 38 and the homeowner will work together, keeping the number of vacation homes at a manageable level "so as not to compromise our guests' experience or the property owners' satisfaction." Latitude 38 will remain small but strong and focused on adding incremental value to the rental management choice for homeowners. www.latitude38vacationrentals.com

South Africa fined for slow over rate in Barbados
South Africa have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during its Super Eight's victory over New Zealand at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
The ICC said match referee Alan Hurst imposed the fines after Graeme Smiths side was ruled to be one over short of its target at the end of the match.
"In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations governing minor over-rate offences, players are fined 10 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount," said the statement.
"As such, Smith was fined 20 per cent of his match fee while his players received 10-per-cent fines. If Smith, as captain, is guilty of two further similar over-rate offences in T20Is over the next 12 months, he will receive a one-match suspension as per the provisions of the code."
"The offence is contrary to Article 2.5.1 of the code which relates to minor over-rate offences. The penalty was accepted by South Africa without contest so there was no need for a hearing."

When I bought my first pair of Boots, I didn't have a clue! I just strolled into the shoe store, looked a while at the display, picked the ones I thought looked the best and had the lowest price tag, bought them... and regretted it for the next couple of months!
Then an older guy told me (kind of shouted at me, if I remember right) when he saw me limping around all day, "Boy, get yerself a pair of decent boots, and you'll be a much happier guy than you look like right now!"
My feet felt even worse than I was letting on, so I took him seriously, and that night, I got myself some real comfortable Boots. (I'd like to tell you they were Rockys®, but I can remember quite that far back!) I can tell you that I know the high quality of Rockys® well, recommend them highly and sell them with my 100% Satisfaction Guarantee! You can choose the standard style, or the ones with an ANSI 75 steel toe and Electrical Hazard protection.

In Their Own Words – The Voice Unheard
The Voice Unheard
I scream
I cry
I bang
You still don't understand
The words won't form for me to speak
But alas I have much to say
If only there was a way
A way for you to hear me
From behind the prison bars
The children on the streets stare
Like illuminating eyes in the night
I appear not to care
As they ponder over the sight
Of me walking on my toes
And screaming without no cause
To them I'm an alien
If only they could understand
There's more than meets the eye with me
I'm not just some freak
If they could only see
I can't help what I am or how I act
There's much more under the surface
A truth waiting to be found
I'm not going to die
But that doesn't make things alright
My mind, my body
Don't work like they should
I'm trapped
A prisoner
No one's knows how it happens
Why I can't talk to you
It's something in my brain
That went askew
There are others like me that can talk
But their case is different than mine
See we are all very different
Even with the same infected mind
In my case, I'm severe
I can't talk
Only scream and yell
I bang walls and slam doors
And windows in cars
My senses aren't like yours
My sense of feeling is off
I bang my head down on a table
Just to be sure it's still there
Autism isn't like cancer
There's no cure
Or solution found
Only drugs and medication
To try and calm us down
But I am lucky to have a family
That loves me so much
They make sure I'm taken care of
And do everything they must
So next time you see me on the street
Or others of the same fate
Think of all we go through
Just to get through each day
Autism has a voice
If you take time to listen
You will hear
This "In Their Own Words" essay is by 15-year-old Emily Church. Emily's 12-year-old brother has autism and she wrote this poem for a high school English class. "The Voice Unheard" is written from the point of view of her brother explaining his actions.
If you have a story you wish to share about your personal experience with autism, please send it to email@example.com. Autism Speaks reserves the right to edit contributions for space, style and content. Because of the volume of submissions, not all can be published on the site.

I'm the grandma of a four year old autistic prince :-)
your peom brought me to tears! for someone so young to have such understanding and not be afraid to express it, is truly a gift. Your brother is a very lucky young man to have such a caring and supportive sister and your parents must be very proud of you both.
good luck in your future and give your wonderful brother a big hug from a grandma who loves another little boy just like your brother. there are many of us out there who do understand !

This is so awesome. I have 2 Autistic Grandson's, neither of them speak. They have a sister who will be 2 years old soon. She doesn't speak yet, we are all holding on waiting to see as she is so different from her brothers. The oldest of the 2 grandson's is a very calm child, and very smart. He is 6 years old now and can program the TV to watch it how he want's it. We Love them all so much. My son and his wife are great patient loving parents. They are in special programs and the are all 3 the happiest children I've ever seen, never complaining about anything. This poem was so touching that I sent it on to my kids. Thank You for sharing it….Andrea

Once again, Autism Speaks isn't using the words of people diagnosed with autism- only the family members around them!
Emily Church has the right idea for her brother, but she has NO CLUE what it feels like to be trapped in that level of frustration- she knows her brother screams, but she does not know why, she only knows that medication helps, but that's addressing the symptom, not the problem.
I know why it happens. I CAN talk to you, but I still know WHY, more than any neurotypical ever will. But Autism Speaks wants to silence my kind. Heck, they want to ABORT my kind- they want a genetic test so that they can abort us in the womb so that we don't mess up their precious lives.
They describe us as Monsters, taking away their children- but we are their children, we are not monsters, and the only thing really taken away is your expectation of what normal looks like.
I've escaped from the asylum the neurotypicals would put me in, and I'm now a parent of my own special needs little guy. Despite the language barrier (on both sides) I try my best to actually understand HIM. Perhaps Emily's brother doesn't need the meds- perhaps all he really needs is patience and a pair of Red Headphones.
June 4, 2010 at 6:41 pm | #7
I don't know your name, but I am sooo glad you can talk. How old are you? I'm sorry you have been around those you think non-nt's are "monsters".They are missing out. Don't you agree? How cool for you and your child to share such a unique connection. I have so many questions for you but mostly, I have warm, patient and honorable
feelings and thoughts for you. I hope you can take what you have learned through living it, remove the anger and teach it to me? and others as well? One more thing,
"normal" is just a setting on my washing machine.
As a mom of a child with Autism and other disabilitys and growing up myself as a child with Aspergers, I do know what it feels like when the noises get to loud! i dont put on Red Headphones to drown out life i work with life coping skills the same that mmy husband and i are teaching our special needs son! between us and his siblings and his team at school and his doctors Emily SPOT ON with what you wrote!! it describes it in FULL! I knew befor my son was born he was going to be a special needs baby, And i knew he was handpicked by GOD to be given to us as parents!! I and my Husband are Blessed with our son!! Emily you rock!!!!!!!! It is a Privelige to know a young lady like you!!!!!
Dear Emily,
We are ALL so very proud of you for lending your voice to your brother. I would like permission to add your poem to our Washington Autism Advocacy Website. Please let me know. Also, if you'd like to serve as the An Autism Junior Advocate from your district to share your brother's challenges with lawmakers in Washington state, please let us know.
With warmest regards,
Arzu Forough

Dear Arzu,
I would gladly like to give you permission to use my poem on your website. Anything to help spread the word! I would also wouldn't mind taking up your offer of serving as An Autism Junior Advocate. I will gladly do anything to help the cause! Thank you for your wonderful comment about my poem. I never believed writing it would touch this many people.
Your truly,
Emily Church
There is hope for children like my son Zack, and Emily's brother, if Emily and her generation can grasp what she has so eloquently put to prose. Every day is a battle for our children. Most days feel like a battle WITH our children, too. Judgement has no place. Start assuming every tantrum you see is AUTISM, not bad parenting. In all likelihood, you'll have improved your accuracy, and you will start to recognize what we parents of kids on the spectrum already know: there sure are a lot of kids with autism out there! Can we do something about it, before our kids behavior is commonplace? How sad will that day be!
My 10 yr old son has Autism, thank you for sharing. My son talks, but he also screams, cries, bangs, hits, throws, hides, etc. It's a hard life for them, b/c a lot of their peers do not understand them. My son gets bullied a lot at school & at home, it breaks my heart b/c no one his age wants to be friends with him. His best friend is a 4 yr old little boy! Thanks again for sharing.
June 5, 2010 at 7:11 pm | #24
Dear Angel,
I understand what you mean. I feel that one of the most difficult things about living with someone with autism is not struggling with their disability, but having to watch as the world judgest them so harshly. I hope one day this will end. My warmest wishes go out to your son! He sounds like a great person and those other kids should be ashamed for not giving him a chance. Thank you so much for your comment!
Your truly,
Emily Church
What a beautiful poem and to only be 15yrs old. My how mature you are. That shows a lot about your family. There are not many teenagers that look at things the way you do. My hat is off to you. Your parents are very lucky to have a daughter and son like you both and they must be very proud of both of you. You have truely touched my heart. Thank you
Your brother is so blessed to have you in his life..you are a true blessing if only other's could open up there eye's,ear's and heart's to see what you and i see my son has autism and i would never change him he is a true gift from GOD ..i wish the world had more young kids like you to tell the world of the gift's and love autism people have to give to the world..GOD bless you and your family you make the world a better place…..<3
Thank you for sharing the importance of seeing your brother as a person first and for all that he has to offer. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts and ideas to help make our communities more understanding and inclusive. Way to go!
Jennifer Monteleone
Founder, Inclusion Werks
It's like you stole the words straight from my heart! Thank you, dear girl, for writing this, you have no idea what an impact your words have. Be assured, your brother knows you love him. If he ever gets to read this, or you read it to him, I think with all my heart he would know. I just read it to my 4 yr. old who also has autism, and he actually sat & listened. THANK YOU! I loved this very much!!!!
