How to Change an Arai Helmet Visor or Face Shield
Arai RX-Q Helmet Review
ARAI 2014 RX-Q & Signet-Q
Hey this is Reuben with Competition Accessories and we just wanted to make a quick video on how you change the face shield out on the Arai helmet. A lot of people get intimidated by Arai helmet face shields because of the side pod they have where you cant see whats going behind it. What we have done on this helmet here is we installed a clear pod so we could give you a better look at the inner workings of the base plate mechanism and show you how it works. Basically to remove the face shield what I want you to see is this little gray lever here, there are one of those on each side of the helmet. When you raise your shield to the top position those will pop out. Now if your helmet is a little older or a little worn out they might not pop all the way out like a brand new helmet. With the face shield all the way up you just need to lift those levers all the way up. Once you have lifted those until they click, to take the shield off is very simple, you are just going to grab it from the top , rotate it back and pull it off. It comes right off really quickly. You will see guys out at the track if you watch racing at all like the isle of man for instance, they will pull into the pits and they swap face shields on or off in just a matter of seconds. It is one of those things you have to get the hang of. To reinstall the shield is a little trickier, there is a horse shoe shape cut out on the end of the shield here, that's going to line up with the top curve on the helmet or the pod and with the clear ones you can see the round tab that its going to slide over. Your going to slide that in on both sides and its not going to really click or anything, you just have to get it down and on to there like that. Once its in I find it easier to have the helmet facing away from you and then you are just going to close the shield. When you close the shield what happens is this opening this cut out right here slides over that little notch right there, so that is what limits the shield as It opens. That's how to change the Arai face shield out, hopefully that helps you out. You can go to our youtube channel if you click on this link in the upper right hand corner and subscribe to us.

Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories and welcome to our review of the Arai RX-Q. Now if you have been around on our website for a while you may have seen the older Arai RX-Q video we had and it was out of date and I wanted to do a better one, the older one was from before my time so lets get into the details of the Arai RX-Q. Arai calls it the ultimate street helmet, they have taken a lot of inspiration from the RX-7 line or the Corsair V which is their high end race helmets. It is a replacement for the Quantum 2 which was a very popular helmet choice. It is an all new model, if you are in Europe you probably know this one as the Quantum ST. Some specific changes from the Quantum 2 in mainly the head shape. Unfortunately a lot of riders are not happy with that, if you have a very round head shape in other words you have a lot of width to your head and just a very round shape, that's what the Quantum 2 was designed to fit. The RX-Q is an intermediate oval, so if that's your case and you want an Arai helmet the RX-Q is going to be your best bet in that line up. The intermediate oval is what Arai finds to be what most people are most comfortable wearing. You are going to spend anywhere from 500 to 700 dollars on the RX-Q depending on the graphic or the solid that you go with. First of all lets talk about the weight I have a scale we can throw it on and you can see it is fairly average for a motorcycle helmet, it is 3.5 lbs. This helmet is not super heavy but also not super light either. However when you have this on your head, it is designed for comfort, long distance riding, and high performance riding as well. The reason it doesn't feel super heavy when its on your head is it actually has a very low center of gravity and that's thanks to this hyper ridge that is built in along the base of the shell. Arai also does something that is unique that a lot of other helmet manufacturers don't do is they maintain the same shell thickness all the way down to the bottom of the shell. That provides again a low center of gravity but also some additional support and structure in the base of the shell. That hyper ridge also provides an additional level of rigidly along the base of the shell, so if you take a hit along this area on the shell, the shell is designed to spread impact so its going to spread that impact as far as it can so you don't want it to continue down passed the shell. Sometimes you can see a less expensive helmet in a bad crash will leave a crack down in this area here because there is no more support for the shell to continue to spread that impact. This hyper ridge will help transfer that impact back up the helmet so its not transferred to your body. I have a raw shell here that is a unique thing to take a look at and it is an RX-Q shell and it is actually hand laid fiberglass. All Arai helmets are hand made and they have true artisans and craftsman that build these shells to exact specifications. These helmets go through three separate quality control checks throughout there manufacturer and they do some really neat things. Not only that hyper ridge along the base of the shell but also peripheral belting. Anytime you have any kind of hole in the shell for ventilation or for the face shield it is a weak point so they provide additional belting along those areas to provide additional rigidity to the shell so they can manage that impact as best as possible. Another thing you can see is they take the same shape as an egg and that's something Arai has done for years, the rounder the helmet the more strong it is going to be and also your not providing for any means of catching on the pavement or the ground in a form of a crash. The purpose for that is so it will slide right along the ground and wont catch and cause even more injury because of it catching. Even the vents on the top of the helmet and the spoiler on the back are designed to break away in an accident. They are attached with basically and industrial double sided tape so it is stuck on very well for regular use but in accident it will break off. Taking a look at the inside you can see the reinforcement here, they do put on a spoiler and drill holes for the vents. Again just a very very strong shell construction. Last thing I want to talk about on this raw shell is you can see where most helmets have a significant recess where they would install the base plate mechanism for the shield, you may notice all Arai's use this pod system which is essentially a cover over the base plate and that's because the base plate does not sit or does not have a home in the shell. It has a very shallow recess where that goes where as most helmets use all sorts of springs and other things to clip a shield in which requires a little bit more of a detente in the shell itself. Arai's method is to try and keep that round organic shell shape consistent so you don't compromise on the shell strength and protection. The EPS liner is no different it is a one piece EPS liner and the one I have here has several different colors that's not what you would see traditionally from the factory, they usually cover them in a black coating. This one details the different types of foam that are used and you can see its the one piece liner so a lot of times you will see other manufactures claim they have a two piece EPS liner or a multi-density EPS liner where what they have found over the years in all helmets different impacts require different types of foam. When we see a serious impact you want that foam to be able to absorb the impact along with the duration of that impact which is going to require a firmer foam or multiple impacts that Snell 2010 requirement is for it to absorb the same impact multiple times. The liner takes different densities of foam especially along the face shield area and chin bar. The biggest thing with Arai is it is a multiple density one piece liner. They do not use any glue on softer foam they make it so everything works as one and uniformly. Lets talk about the ventilation it is fairly straight forward it does have some really nice features to it. You do have a chin bar vent that directs air up onto the face shield to prevent fogging. There are pinlock shields available for this no anti fogging coating on the inside of this helmet so it will fog up on you if you don't do something about it you can get the pinlock insert and that is just the way Arai has chosen to go with there anti-fog, the advantage there is no anti-fog coating to wear off over time. Arai face shields do run a little bit more money as well. A lot of that is thanks to the face shield vents. The reason they put these vents on the face shield so it does not compromise the safety of the helmet. They know that the shell is already weak due to the eye port so they did not want to take any more away from that shell construction. The vents on the face shield channel the air through air passages that go throughout the helmet. This also vents to your temple area where a lot of helmets fail to direct air. You do have two chimney style vents on the top, it does have ram air type scoops that will push air down into the helmet. If you look at the back of the helmet there are some exhaust vents. This is the most effective way to keep a helmet cool because it draws the warm air right out the back of the helmet by creating an area of low pressure and it acts like a vacuum. You also have some static ports on the back here and it functions by also drawing the warm air right out the helmet. Finally out the base of the neck roll your also getting some exhaust vents, so that air that is pushed in will be able to flow through the entire helmet all the way out the back to keep you comfortable. Lets talk about removing the face shield because there is not a base plate system to use to remove the shield. What you do is you open this all the way and a little gray lever will pop right out. There is one on each side on the shield, all you do is simple pull up on those levers until they click and then once you have done that you can take the face shield and continue rotating it up and it will come right out. Very easy to remove and replace it just takes some practice to get used to it. Finally to replace it you will see there is a notch and you want to point that top corner to the top corner on the pod here. You simply push the shield back in until it does go any further and then close it and that's it so its back in and ready to go. There is no ratcheting system on an Arai face shield its just a smooth friction. Lets take a look at the inside at the features of the Arai RX-Q. First and for most it is a fully removable interior so you can pull this out you can wash it, or replace it if you need too. Another thing you will notice is they have brought over their emergency cheek pad release system from their race helmets, so it provides EMT's a way to remove the helmet without causing further neck injuries. You can see you just pull on that tab and the cheek pad is going to come right out of the helmet. You will see the orange tab has a note to notify emergency staff how to operate it. They can pull those right out while you are still wearing the helmet. What that does is it provides a much larger area for them to remove the helmet without them to cause further neck injury, you can see the neck roll comes right off as well. Now you see how much larger that opening will be so they can slide the helmet right off of your head. One thing that is unique about Arai helmets as well is when you pull the cheek pads out that is actually the raw shell, they actually put the EPS foam liner on the cheek pads itself. This is going to do a really good job at absorbing impact and you can see it is labeled 30mm which is the size of the cheek pads. Of course you can go up or down with the size depending on how they fit for you. What Arai has that is very unique is two things a facial contour system and a customizable cheek pad. There is a thin piece of foam here that can be removed or taken off. This helps for better fitment with the helmet if it is causing you be uncomfortable and it causes any pressure points. This is one way of customizing the fit of the helmet without having to go out and by brand new cheek pads. You will also notice they use different densities of foam throughout the construction of the cheek pad and they use their facial contour system. What this actually does is craddle you face and makes for better fitment of the helmet. You can remove the liners of the chin strap as well they just have a little yellow snap at the top, this is another area if your sweating a lot you want to be able to clean these up. The crown liner itself is attached with a couple of snaps and Arai uses a very low profile snap design. You will see some manufacturers have more larger snaps and that can get uncomfortable at times. The snaps from Arai actually stick to the snaps in the EPS liner and they run flush to the shell. You are getting very high levels of construction here with lots of different types of material to absorb moisture and wick it away from your head and also provide for lots of ventilation. They do this so when air does come inside the helmet it has a lot of space to transfer to your head and keep you comfortable. Last but not least you can see the interior here as I mentioned it is painted black for the factory model so it does look nice and finished. One thing you might be able to see here is you can see the exhaust port for that intake vent for vent on the face shield. This will direct air through a tunnel and down around to the side of your temple. You see the cheek pad is attached with a nice secure attachment point and it goes right into the shell itself. Last but not least you do have a small chin spoiler built in which you may think is kind of on the smaller side but what is really neat is you can extend it. Little attention to detail like this is what sets Arai different from other manufacturers and im not saying that there arent other good helmet manufacturers, definitely shop around and watch other product videos but the attention to detail that Arai puts into safety its very apparent in their construction. They are going for safety above all else. They don't look for any modern wild designs they look for safety first. You get a lot of bang for the buck even though it is a lot of bucks, Arai helmets will last you a long time.

Great ventilation, fit, light, relatively quiet
Can get warm when sitting still but then all helmets do
Just got this as a replacement for my Nolan N43. First notice out of the box was how much lighter it was than the Nolan. Then I put it on and it felt even lighter on my head. The fit is nice and snug. First ride was to work at night. Great visibility. Excellent airflow - like I had a fan blowing over my head Like nothing I have had before ventilation wise. Noise was mainly the airflow and if I closed the top vents it became very quiet I was debating on the Schuberth C3 but this one was rated as having better ventilation. Was a little warm when stopped but once I was moving again the air flow cooled my head off quickly.I ride a Road Glide Ultra so am mainly upright.Highly recommend this helmet and I now have a new brand for my head - Arai
Marcus Strouse
Great helmet. I recently switched from a Shark RSi because I wanted something that stuck out in a crowd. The yellow if very bright and the helmet is super comfortable...

Easy to install, works great, no more changing visors for me
I pre-ordered this and waited for a while for Arai to finally release it. Wow.. so worth the wait. I think the sunvisor was the only thing missing for Arai. They already had the best helmets, now they have this sunvisor. I installed it about 3 weeks ago and use it daily. I just ordered a 2nd one along with an new Arai for my wife from compacc. I got a nice discount too, because of the CA cash I had earned on my shield and sliders kevlar jeans order..Great company.. Great product.. Thanks to Davie in customer service for putting up with all my questions and emails

At last, a reason to prefer the Corsair V
Duke W
Recommended by Reviewer:
Easy change-out, works flawlessly with the pinlock inserts designed for it
Not standard on every Arai helmet it fits
Anti-fog inserts are a must on Arai helmets, so when I needed a new Corsair V, I bought one of these at the same time. The difference is night and day from the old-style pinlock shields. There is no limitation to the clear field of vision from the rider's point of view. The last reason to prefer an older helmet is now gone well, except for the paint schemes -- I really miss the Tommy Gun paint job -- they don't have anything that evocative any more. Yes, I know that the Corsair V is supposed to be a racing helmet, and they therefore think you don't need an anti-fog visor, but this is safety equipment, guys, and should be standard on every helmet it fits. Oh, one more note if you have a spare old-style pinlock insert, be aware they won't fit the new design. Buy an insert at the same time, and you won't have to wait to be safe go ahead, ask me how I found that out.

Arai SAI Max Vision Pinlock Anti-Fog Shield Inserts
Call it a necessity
Duke W
Recommended by Reviewer:
Product actually works as advertised, really wide, tall field of clear vision
Shouldn't these be on every Arai helmet
Anyone who's ever worn a helmet in the rain knows that you either anti-fog, or you don't see. While there are lots of ways to anti-fog, the best way is to not have to in the first place. If your face shield is anti-fog, you don't have to worry about whether you treated it or not, or whether you put the anti-fog in your pocket before you left. That's why this product rocks so hard. It flatly works. Unless you're a mouth-breathing troglodyte, you won't fog this. The combination of pinlock pocket and silicon seal works to provide a clear, fog-free view that will last a couple of rainy seasons of daily use ask me how I know. Another plus this new design puts the edges of the anti-fog area outside the seals for the eyeports, so your view is unrestricted. Nice The only drawback this doesn't come standard on every Arai helmet. It really should. They're one of the safest helmets on the market, so why doesn't this vital piece of safety equipment come standard on every helmet they sell Don't know, but if yours didn't come with one of these, you need to get one -- before you need it and don't have it. Don't delay, buy today

Fog Free and Happy in my Arai
Side Road
Recommended by Reviewer:
Easy to install, Love it.. Now I am Fog Free..
No fogging issues with this visor. Now, if it would only keep my glasses from foggingRiding last winter with the RX-Q, I had a lot of fogging issues. While it was easily mitigated with the front vent, who really wants to open it at 30 some odd degreesI have read that other people had issues with the pins. I just straightened out he visor, as shown in the video, and popped it in place. Very simple and took but a couple of seconds to install it.It does take a little bit to get used to as it gives the impression of being cracked open on the bottom when all you are seeing is a small area that is not covered by the insert.

slight reflection in some conditions
Works well. I have the dark smoke and light smoke on separate shields, easy interchange. Dark for sunny, light for daytime cloudyovercast. Only negative is minimal ... slight reflectivity off the inner surface, so on bright days the lens is not crystal-clear ... but it's close, and it doesn't fog.

Arai RX-Q Solid Motorcycle Helmets
Bought the Diamond Grey to replace a Signet GT color matched to my 2002 Goldwing, Silver Stream Metallic. The Diamond grey is a little darker than the Honda Silver, but is much closer to the color than I expected. The helmet is a little different shape than the Signet, which is a long oval, but it fits my head much better. The helmet is very quite, is very comfortable and feels much better than the Signet. The vent system is noticeably better. Overall, I like the helmet and will be ordering one for my wife as soon as her size is in stock.

Arai RX-Q Gothic
Recommended by Reviewer:
Comfort, visibility, quiet
Top vents are a little flimsy
I bought my RX-Q Gothic when it was on closeout, and couldn't pass on the great price. In the print catalog, one of the features talked about was an included pinlock faceshield. I was surprised and disappointed when the Helmet arrived, that it didn't have a pinlock faceshield as advertised. I called about this, and was told it was a misprint in the catalog. Despite being very careful opening and closing the top vents, one broke. Arai customer service did send a new vent, but it appeared to be exactly the same as the original vent. I will continue to be gentle with the vents, in the hope that they won't break again.In spite of the suspect vents, and no pinlock faceshield included, I would still recommend this Helmet based on it's comfort, visibility, and quietness.

easy to replace. good fit and form. nice product, quality parts.
hard to match color. selection limited
sometimes schitt happens and a great helmet is useless without a proper working face shield. Arai has the parts and it's an easy fix. remember to use the silicon lube, may help the shield from sticking and breaking the shield cover tab. wish the color selection was larger, my grey replacement was darker than original helmet color but looks ain't everything - safety first.

Arai PRO Shade System
PRO Shade Reviw
Recommended by Reviewer:
Easy to install and use. Visually consistent with helmet aesthetics.
Shade not as dark as it could should be.
Had high hopes for this solution to glare and direct sun in the eyes. The PRO Shade didn't really help either problem. The shade portion is handy and provides some relief from the direct sun like a cheap pair of sunglasses would do. Unfortunately it could do more in this regard. Also, should the shade be in the up position and the wind catch it, stand strong...as your helmet and head will snap back with a fair amount of force.Have been accustomed to a high-quality and well thought out products from Arai. This one may not have been as thought out as it could be. Seems like improvements will help it. Perhaps the next version will be perfect

Not a bad solution, Probably the best Arai will offer.
Jim J
Recommended by Reviewer:
Provides a quick sunshade option, no need to carry multiple visors.
Now you have 4 surfaces to clean or potentially scratch.
I love Arai and have for years. But I have been caught after dark with my tinted visor and also needed a sunshade on my clear visor. Arai needed a solution, this is what they came up with. I used it on a 600 mile trip last week and it worked perfectly on my Signet Q. In and out of tunnels, did a great job. In the raised position gave a nice shade and lowered was just like a dark visor. No problem with distortion, noise, wind drag. The main issue I see is that now you have an inner and outer dark section that accumulates bugs and dirt and of course the clear section to clean. Any one of those surfaces could get dinged and the total package is not cheap. You can't just add the sunshade to a normal visor.Arai claims this is a better solution because they do not have to change the design of helmet for an internal drop down visor and, in their opinion, affect safety. I'm not an expert so I won't dispute the claim but bottom line, this is the Arai solution. It was worth the price to me.You really want to know what works The Transitions visor that Bell and Akuma use. THAT is the perfect solution and could be adapted by every helmet manufacturer. I don't know why Arai and Shoei and others resist that elegant and effective solution.

- Nov 12:
- Fowler: Broncos make Panthers QB Cam Newton look just average
- Panthers can't stem the tide of Broncos' sack-happy pass rush
- Trindon Holliday is sixth Bronco with multiple kick returns for TD
- Bests and worsts from the Broncos' win over the Panthers
- Broncos defensive approach turns out to be Kryptonite for Cam Newton
- Nov 11:
- Trindon Holliday makes it two games in a row with Broncos TD returns
- Champ Bailey urging Broncos to stay focused, calm during win streak
In a year of "normalcy" — John Fox's description — the coach's objective is a 12-4 record, which would be the Broncos' best since a 13-3 mark in 2005.
He divided the season into quadrants.
"We wanted to be 3-1 in each," Fox says.
The Broncos are 5-3 halfway through 2012.
"We are one (victory) behind," he says.
The Broncos can catch up to the sly Fox's pace by winning the next four games (the third quadrant) — and finishing the final quadrant 3-1.
The Broncos' remaining seven opponents after Sunday's games, when they go 2-3, will be a combined 23-40. How can I be so certain? Four of the Broncos' future foes play each other: San Diego is at Tampa Bay, and Oakland is at Baltimore. Kansas City is at Pittsburgh, and the hapless Chiefs, who the Broncos play twice, won't win and will fall to 1-8. Cleveland has a bye, so the hopeless Browns can't lose.
Fox's regular-season goal is quite attainable. "But we have to focus on what's right in front of us," Fox says.
Carolina is right smack ahead Sunday.
It has been reported locally and nationally all week that Fox seeks resentful, rancorous "REVENGE!" against the Panthers because he was let go Dec. 31, 2010, after serving as the team's head coach for nine seasons — including one in the Super Bowl.
The truth was obvious during my one-on-one interview with Fox on Thursday. He holds no grudges and actually would thank owner Jerry Richardson for not renewing his contract. The circumstances had become stale for Fox in Charlotte, N.C. It was time for a change. There were overtures from Cleveland and Buffalo. The Eagles wanted him as a consultant, but Fox was intent on taking a year off from football.
Yet, suddenly, he became the coach of the Broncos, and "I couldn't be in a better situation. It's a perfect fit — working with John (Elway) and in this organization, and living in Denver and coaching the team we have."
Last year, the most unusual Fox has experienced in 33 years of coaching, he won the division and a playoff game. Look at the Broncos now — with Peyton Manning, reunited with Fox's old assistants (including Jack Del Rio and Mike McCoy), the No. 3 overall offense in the league and the 10th-rated defense, according to NFL.com. "There is normalcy this year," Fox told me.
Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Broncos.
I pointed out to Fox that he already has defeated two teams he coached with as an assistant — the Steelers and the Chargers. "Don't forget the Raiders," he said.
A win over Carolina would make him 4-0 against former teams, leaving only the Giants. That achievement only could happen in the Super Bowl.
In 2008, the Panthers became one of the strongest franchises in the NFL. They drafted running back Jonathan Stewart No. 1 and paired him with DeAngelo Williams. The pair rushed for 2,351 yards and 28 touchdowns.
Carolina had veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme (who had led the Panthers to the Super Bowl in the 2003 season), wide receivers Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad and an exceptional defense anchored by all-pro Julius Peppers. The Panthers were one of the two most aggressive teams (the Broncos were the other) in free-agent signings — 18.
The Panthers won three games in each quadrant and finished 12-4 (including a 30-10 demolishing of the Broncos), before imploding in the playoff game against the Cardinals when Delhomme threw five interceptions and fumbled once.
The blowout led to a blowup of the team by Richardson. He refused to give Fox's assistants two-year extensions, and six — including McCoy, defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac and three other defensive coaches — departed.
The Panthers wouldn't give Peppers a long-term contract, and he left as an unrestricted free agent in 2010. The Panthers didn't possess No. 1 picks in 2009 or 2010. Fox had no say-so in the draft, and Carolina chose two more running backs, which they didn't need, in '09, and made disastrous quarterback selections in '10. Jimmy Clausen, who Fox had never seen before the draft, became a big bust, and Appalachian State's Armanti Edwards, who was converted to wide receiver, has two receptions in three seasons. And the team got out of the high-profile, free-agency market. Richardson prepared for the lockout and the forceout of Fox.
Fox spent two seasons in a state of confusion and oblivion. The Panthers' record fell to 8-8, then 2-14.
Fox has moved on. The Panthers haven't. They are 8-16 since his departure. As Fox brought up in our conversation, longtime general manager Marty Hurney was the last to go — two weeks ago. Only a few players remain from 2008.
Fox's bitterness with the Panthers? Get over it. He did in 2009.
Why is he smiling as we talk? Fox is not out for revenge. He's out for another victory on the way to 12.
Broncos 35, Panthers 20.

Oh what a miracle, to have an updated photo of Katrina!!! And there is the light I knew had to be there! She doesn't realize it, but now that she has a profile here on Reece's Rainbow, Katrina has a CHANCE…a chance for a new life, a family of her own, to get out of these four walls and to have something to smile about.
From her medical records: Down syndrome, significant cognitive delay (coupled with FAS), flatfoot, partial atrophy of optic nerves, esotropia, secondary cardiomyopathy.
From a missionary who visited in August 2014: "Katrina is such a clever little munchkin. She mimics lots of different things, massage therapy, diapers changes, hammering in nails. Pulling faces the whole time, she is hilarious! She loves cuddles and once she has you she doesn't want to let go. She still drinks from a bottle. She can walk. She cannot talk (yet). She can be a bit rough at times (scratching / hitting / pushing) so would be better in a family with bigger kids. She just wants to be loved. "
From a missionary who visited with her in March 2012: Oh my heart…I so wanted to bring her home! She is a giggly soft hearted darling…she needs a mama!
From a family who met her, summer 2014:
Katrina was sitting in a stroller both times we saw her but I know she can walk. She seemed very happy to sit and listen to music during a concert for the orphanage, and she looked over at us with curiosity a few times. Her eyes are gorgeous. She was super cute and smiley, also calm and entertained when we saw her.
She was one of the girls selected for the group home, and the individual attention and instruction should really help her transition into a family! Even though she is getting better care right now, she would make even more progress in a real home. She needs a family!
Katrina and Tania can be adopted together if a family is approved and interested. 10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.

Girl, born June 2002
Down syndrome
Emmaline is well behaved, lovely and cute. Sometimes when she feels injustice from other children, she would act as a spoiled child in the cuddle of a teacher. As she grows up everyday, we feel happy yet we worry about her, because she is very sensitive and is able to understand what the teachers tell her. Sometimes she could do something out of predict. She has a good friend and they are called "golden partners" just because they are always together whatsoever playing or eating. They share things well and they even do things together such as cleaning floors.
We remember that once she found one shoe on the air conditioning, and she wanted to get it down, however, she was not tall enough and she babbled telling her friend. The friend took a chair, Emmaline stepped on the chair in order to get the shoe, and finally, she made it. She really surprised us at that time. She is really amazing. She could think of using a chair to help to get the shoe to finish her goal.
Unfortunately, she seldom speaks, which is the thing that we worry about her the most. Only give her more stimulate of language skills such as doing some oral gym to help her learn simple words, could she incorporate herself into this society well.

Girl, born 2001
Down syndrome
Update May 2012:
Dawn lived in an orphanage until she was three, when they moved her to an institution.
She just started walking a couple of months ago. She enjoys interacting with adults and playing with toys. Her favorite activities and toys revolve around music. She understands what is said to her but does not have any meaningful speech at this time. She reacts very positively to attention, smiles and cheers when adults interact with her. She attends a class at the institution, but does not go to school outside of the institution. She has not had the opportunity to experience many of the ordinary activities that other children her age are naturally exposed to due to the length of time she's been institutionalized. She doesn't have any medical or behavioral concerns. She just needs a family willing to look past her age to see her potential!
She is said to be independent and active, and she especially loves to swing. She is shy with other children, and seeks attention from adults, cuddling up when hugs and affection are available.
From her medical records: Down syndrome, esotropia, flatfoot, secondary cardiomyopathy.
From a missionary who visited in August 2014: " she is full of energy, she'll keep you on your toes. She eats very well and can feed herself. She can walk, run and jump. She doesn't talk but she makes sounds. She is very boisterous and on the go, she needs big brothers in her life! "
From a missionary who visited with her in March 2012: One time the care giver made her sit with other children she was so desperate for me all to herself shecried! she really didnt want to share me. This is seriously one child who wants a Mama! She seemed so bright, there is so much potential here being wasted. She whacked the other children to keep them away from me but I could tell she was not an aggressive child. Tania is fiesty and able and just desperate for love! I loved her!!! I wanted to bring her and Katarina home. Tania is always active and she loves playing with her swing set, unlike the other kids who rather just play with their toys. The child is a bit shy around the children of her age. However, she is very brave and courageous when dealing with new visitors. The girl suffers from a lack of motherly care and gentleness, so she is attracted to everyone who is nice and kind to her. She hides her lonely soul behind the wall of her active and independent lifestyle. But as soon as she receives a warm hug and a little love, the mischievous girl suddenly becomes docile and calm.
Larger families, older parents welcome. This region does often waive the 10-day waiting period!
From a family who met her, summer 2014:
Tania is such a tiny little cutie! I can't believe she is still waiting! She was also a good friend of one of our boys. Every time he sees her picture he will call out her name.We saw her with the other kids from her home at a concert at the orphanage. She was watching everything and danced to a few of the songs. She was the size of a petite five year old, but proportionally small, not too skinny. Her hair is just starting to grow out and is so pretty. She waved and smiled at us a couple times while we were there with our sons. When everyone walked back to the homes after the concert, she got mixed in with our group as her caregivers were pushing wheelchairs and going more slowly. When our group pointed back to where her group was, she turned and walked back very agreeably. She had no trouble walking the fifteen minutes in each direction. We didn't hear her talk, but she did seem to understand what the caregivers were saying.
She would do so well in a family. The home she is in now is more of a family setting with fewer children and more individual attention, but it is not the same as a real family and they can't stay there forever. It will give her a great head start to transitioning to a family though!
Down syndrome
UPDATE December 2015: "This is Kinley. She is a great girl who loves attention. She tries everything the other girls are doing. She is nonverbal and makes her needs known by gestures. She understands staff. Kinley is inquisitive and very interested in what is going on around her. She is affectionate and a real cutie pie!! "
FINALLY! A better picture of Kinley! She is running out of time! Sweet Kinley, she's never has really had her picture taken before, but she's trying! It's apparent she's in need of dental work, and either glasses or surgery to help her vision. Kinley could be adopted with Emmalyn. She's already waited so long, let's find Kinley her mama!
Girl, born March 2006

Susan is active and outgoing. She needs some time to be familiar with strangers and will interact with you if you are familiar. She gets along with others very well. She can communicate with others basically. She would help others to get utensils out. She can walk; go up and down stairs alone. She could stack blocks. She is very helpful to other kids. She will carry chairs, clean rooms and pick up garbage on the floor.
Additional photos available from the agency.
From her host family, February 2016:
Suzy has adjusted well to being in our home. She initially had some anxiety during travel in our vehicle. This seems to have subsided after the first couple of day trips. We believe it may be related to not being certain where we were going and if she would be returning to our home. At this point, after six days with our family, she seems comfortable with our outings, and seems to understand that we will end up back at our house by the end of the day. This comfort seems to help her. She does get sleepy while riding in the car, if traveling over 45 minutes at a time. She naps, and then readily wakes up when we stop, with no problems.
Suzy is staying in the bedroom with two of our girls, ages 11 and 8. She remembers our 8-year old, who was a close friend in China! She has bonded well to both girls, looking to the older one as a constant guide/helper/playmate, and enjoys playing with the younger one, too. The girls are often holding hands when we're walking about during our outings. Suzy is very sweet to our youngest daughter, age 6, who is wheelchair-bound and cannot speak. She also gets along well with our two boys, ages 15 and 13. Suzy is an obedient child, and listens to what we ask her to do. She also does a good job with our hand gestures, use of English, and demonstrations with the other kids to let her know what we are asking of her. She is a good-natured child, and has a very pleasant personality. She often giggles and laughs, and is now saying "hello" to people we pass by in the stores. She also says "bye" to people readily. She is seeming to understand us better each day, picking up on what we are saying (in English) and motioning.
Suzy is eating well. She usually eats a small breakfast, medium size lunch, has snacks during the day, and a larger dinner. This is by her own choosing, as we let her eat what she needs. She enjoys the Chinese food that we've made or purchased. We have also had Chick-fil-A and made taco salad, which she liked. She favors rice, meat, and some vegetables. We had ice cream this afternoon, which she thoroughly enjoyed!
We have gone to the park on a couple of occasions, to the pet store, and gone shopping. We also went to church and to an evening kids program. We have invited people over to our house to visit as well. She really does well in stores, and does not reach out to touch a lot of things. She stays with us in the stores very well. She liked riding in the cart for a little while.

Girl, born summer 2003

A family hosted her two summers ago and would love to see her find her forever family. They'd be happy to talk to inquiring families. Comments from her host mother:
She is spunky, lively, funny. She had SUCH personality. She responded to love, to being held. She was strong-willed. Very much a "mommy", too. But, if you had to tell her she did something she shouldn't, she would break down and cry. So, I would hold her on my lap and she would curl up, close her eyes, and fake being asleep. She just wanted to be loved. She was funny, and LOVED to help. She loved sweeping and cleaning.
When here, we got her glasses but she didn't like to wear them. She even hid them once. I would try to get her to wear them, but I didn't want a "battle of wills" to develop. I let it go, and she would occasionally put them on. She had nystagmus, her eyes shook, and her head would shake a bit, too. It was very endearing to me. When she would insist on something she would stomp her foot, cross her arms, and give me a serious look. It made me smile. She can be bossy!
She LOVED swimming! The picture in the purple shirt and sunglasses is at the pool. Every day she would put her swimsuit on, waiting to go swimming, all ready to go in case we went! She blossomed so much! When she first came, she would not let me hug her, or touch her. I kept at it, she eventually curled up in my lap when upset. I would rock her to sleep.
She had the BEST laugh! I mean, with her entire heart and soul!! I. Loved. It!

Down syndrome, Hep B
Trudy has normal limb development and delayed mental development compared to other children. Upon admission, she was 1 year old and she was careful in her new surroundings. At the age of 2 years, she could walk alone, was curious about new things, her hand-eye coordination was improved, and she could express her emotion. At the age of 4 years, she could have eat and drink independently and could recognize people, places and objects, but her expression was poor. At the age of 6 years, she was receiving the special education in the institute. Her self-management was improved under the guidance of the teacher, but her accepting ability was not good compared to other kids of her age. At the age of 8 years, she could speak simple numbers and words, could draw, could finish some simple jigsaw puzzles, and could play with the toy blocks. Now she can wave her body along with the rhythm of the music, can read simple children's songs and words, and can count 1-10, but her expression is still poor. Trudy is open, likes music, can get along well with other kids, likes helping people, and wants to be praised. She is happy when watching cartoons and walking outside.
Girl, Born February 2002
Down syndrome
From her medical records: The child is in a very good general condition. Elementary thinking processes are observed. She can't speak but pronounces sounds and combinations of sounds: ba-ba, etc. that are completely random. She knows her name and reacts when called. She carries out elementary orders. She is not oriented for place and time. Her attention is unstable, her memory is mechanic.
In emotional aspect the child is calm, merry and playful. She enjoys the attention that she is paid and actively seeks it. She easily enters into interaction with the children and the adults in the orphanage. She has friends among the children and prefers to play with them. She reacts actively in musical classes – makes rhythmical movements, but almost doesn't play with toys and prefers to put them in her mouth or toss them.
The child walks independently and carries out the orders of the physical therapist – crouches, stands up. She already eats by herself. She doesn't signal about her physiological needs and is taken care of entirely by the personnel of the orphanage.
The child is being taught to put her clothes on and take them off on her own. The training for gaining life skills continues.
Single moms and large families welcome, easy travel!

Bryannah has been in a mental institution since 2011. She has been in orphanages her entire life, but was just recently registered for adoption in 2013. She has waited 12 years for a chance to find a family! She walks, plays with toys, responds to her name and attends a special needs school each day. She is not talking and still requires help with daily self-help skills.
The agency also has a video available.

Maloja AnitaM. Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Women's $0.00
Why should you have to sacrifice style for function? Maloja asked the same question, and the AnitaM. Short-Sleeve Jersey is its answer. Maloja gives you a huge variance of color options to pair with the hand-drawn stars of the jersey. Throw in some of the finest materials that money can buy, a stink-proof fabric treatment, and an anatomic cut, and you have a summer jersey that will turn heads on and off the trail.
Maloja's AnitaM. Short-Sleeve Jersey is made from the Light Piquee fabric. As its names suggests, this material is extremely lightweight, but what's not alluded to is its effective moisture management system. The fabric's light polyester knit grabs sweat, and transfers it to the quick-drying surface; leaving you cool, dry, and comfortable. And to keep your friends comfortable at the post-ride meal, the AnitaM. uses a Polygiene treatment that prevents the accumulation of odor in the jersey's fabric—no stink, more friends. If you don't think that the jersey's short-sleeve design and breathable fabric selection provides enough ventilation, the AnitaM. features an invisible, 3/4-length front zipper that hides out of sight when it's not being used. Another key feature is the integration of rear storage pockets for all of your long ride essentials.
The Maloja AnitaM. Short-Sleeve Jersey is available in sizes from X-Small to X-Large, and in the colors Blue Steel, Granat, Hazelnut, Moonless, Pine, and Rose.

When it comes to dealing with up-and-coming rock stars, it isn't humanly possible to find someone as resolutely low-key as Christopher Owens. Despite being one of the most talked-about (and photographed) musicians to creep into popular consciousness over the past couple of years, in person Owens is soft-spoken to the point of seeming nearly invisible. When I turn up to chat with him at NYC's Bowery Hotel, he begins the interview by apologizing and then slipping outside for a cigarette. A few minutes later, when I ask him if the business of rock stardom has gotten easier for him, he can only shrug and laugh a little. "Less weird, but still pretty weird," he says.
Owens first made a name for himself as a member of the beloved indie-pop duo Girls. After releasing its first proper album in 2009, the band quickly ascended the rungs of the indie-rock ladder with an irresistible combination of bizarre backstory (Owens was raised as a member of the Children of God cult), unabashed romanticism, and an aesthetic that embodies a druggy, lovey utopia—messy yet harmonic, a somewhat lovelorn vision of the band's hometown of San Francisco. In early Girls videos, an omnisexual Owens lounges around various funky San Francisco bedrooms, watches the sunrise with a bunch of his bros, and whizzes through California in a convertible while rocking a blond mop top and skimpy cutoff T-shirt. Then, after the 2011 release of a superb sophomore album—the universally beloved Father, Son, Holy Ghost—Owens shocked everyone by abruptly calling it quits with Girls.
"It has mostly been liberating," he says of the split. "The decision to leave wasn't really out of anger or some kind of breakup or a fight, it was just something that I felt was happening naturally over time," he says. "So, to go with that feeling felt really good. The easier thing would have been to put out another Girls record. I'm sure it would have been well received and we'd probably be on our first bus tour right now and have a song in a movie. [But] I needed to do what I wanted to do." The breakup of Girls still looms large over Owens's professional life, but he has only good things to say about his previous band, even though going it alone still sometimes seems like a scary proposition. "I hope for the best," he says. "I definitely didn't want to take a huge step backward by becoming a solo artist."
At the time of our interview, Owens is in New York to play one in a series of shows serving to introduce the world to Lysandre, his debut solo album. As he is quick to point out, the solo shows are both nerve-racking and incredibly freeing. Having already made waves in the fashion world earlier this year when he was chosen as the new face of Saint Laurent Paris ("There was no hair or makeup, I just showed up and Hedi took my photo," he says), Owens feels the Lysandre shows are the capstone of what has been a fairly busy albeit tumultuous year. "I just hope people like the record," he says, shrugging off any mention of the buzz that seems to surround him.
Not that he should worry. Lysandre's abjectness is what makes it so beautiful. It's the most romantic collection of songs that Owens has ever written. Conceived as a continuous narrative, the record recounts Owens's experience of touring the world with Girls for the first time and falling in love with a girl somewhere along the way. Tracks like "New York City" and "Riviera Rock" tread the line between the kind of jangly indie-pop that would have been right at home on a previous Girls record and something more akin to old-fashioned British folk music (flutes are involved). The most striking thing about Lysandre, however, is the album's lyrics. While so many of his peers are happy to hide behind a wall of aloof ambiguity, Owens is unabashedly straightforward, hopelessly sentimental, and not even a little bit ironic. At a time when earnest sentimentality is at a peak of uncoolness, Owens's ability to wear his heart on his sleeve is not merely disarming but incredibly charming.
"Romance is the space that I can't seem to get out of," he admits. "It's a very natural place that I come from. I don't know why, really. People are so jaded and so sophisticated and have seen it all, so I'm sure it can come across as very naïve, but it's always been the driving thing behind my music. I don't want to let the fear of being made fun of overtake my desire to say these things. I've always been shocked by how well it's been received. From the beginning I expected people to say something like, 'You're an idiot.'"

Columbia River Gorge Blog
Summer Fun Group Ideas in The Columbia River Gorge
There seems to be a common thread with the upcoming Insurance or Finance group events coming to Skamania Lodge this summer; teambuilding and recreation time. Anywhere from an hour to ½ the day, these groups are putting up the expense and effort of bringing people together for personal experiences and fun, especially in a setting as lovely as Skamania Lodge located in the Columbia River Gorge!
The Columbia River Gorge has been designated by the United States as a National Scenic Area, which runs along the Columbia River between the Deschutes and Sandy Rivers. I have lived near the Columbia River, which acts as the border between Washington and Oregon, and the Gorge my whole life and like many of us, I take for granted what is right in my own back yard. I am making it my mission to enjoy the area with my family this summer as if I am visitor. I feel sometimes the groups we welcome to Skamania Lodge get out and do more than I do, and I live here! The Gorge is known for so many wonderful things, such as cherries, apples, wine, waterfalls (over 70 near Skamania Lodge), wildflowers, hiking, windsurfing, microbreweries, fishing, boating, salmon, golfing, mountain biking and kayaking just to name a few. Summer is our time to shine as it rarely gets above 90°and the humidity is very low, making the outdoors the place to be in July, August and September.
I am going to take notes from my various meeting planners' excursions for their attendee's by enjoying our area this summer and taking advantage of the following activities:
- Wine tasting tours
- Hood River Fruit Loop
- Micro Brewery fun at Full Sail and Brewpublic
- White water rafting
- (That is me second from the rear of the raft in 2008!)
- (That is me second from the rear of the raft in 2008!)
- Windsurfing
- (Maybe a wind surfing lesson is in my future. I have always wanted to do that!)
- (Maybe a wind surfing lesson is in my future. I have always wanted to do that!)
- Scenic hiking on a variety of trails
This lodge is one of the friendliest places I know. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy working there and doing whatever they can to assist the guests.

A common cold is a viral infection of your baby's nose and throat. Nasal congestion and a runny nose are the primary signs of common cold in babies.
Babies are especially susceptible to the common cold, in part because they're often around other older children who don't always wash their hands. Also, they have yet to develop immunity to many common infections. Within the first year of life, most babies have up to seven colds.
Treatment for the common cold in babies involves easing their symptoms, such as by providing plenty of fluids and keeping the air moist. Very young infants must see a doctor at the first sign of the common cold because they're at greater risk of croup and pneumonia.

The Tablet Hype
They can't possibly save magazines and newspapers.
Sports Illustrated dazzled the technorati and knuckle-draggers alike earlier this month with a demo of a digital tablet prototype of the magazine promised for 2010. Radiating a wow-factor equal to some of the media gadgets in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report, the SI demo promises full-motion video, lightning-quick screen refreshes as you flick from page to page, and the power to customize the device per your preferences.
Time Inc., which owns Sports Illustrated, isn't the only publisher making digital reader noise. Engadget wrote about a similar, though less-polished demo of Condé Nast's Wired; the Hearst Corp. plans to start an online magazine and newspaper service in 2010 called Skiff, which will include a dedicated Skiff e-reader; and other newspaper and magazine companies are jumping into the mix.
Meanwhile, GQ and Esquire are releasing paid iPhone editions, the Kindle has new digital competition from Barnes & Noble's Nook, and folks can't stop talking about the much-rumored but unannounced revolutionary Apple tablet.
As someone who earns his living blasting targets with words, I can't help but applaud the rush of the magazine and newspaper industry to save itself exploiting a new publishing platform. But all the hoopla reminds me of the hype that greeted previous electronic publishing technologies, chronicled so well by Pablo J. Boczkowski in his 2005 book Digitizing the News: Innovation in Online Newspapers. Publishers spent hundreds of millions of dollars shoveling print content into videotex, audiotex, fax, CD-ROM technologies, and such proprietary online services as America Online, Prodigy, CompuServe, and Ziff Interchange.
Who can forget the excitement that the CD-ROM version of Newsweek generated in November 1992 when it was announced! Well, everybody. But believe me, it caused a stir upon its debut. Called Newsweek Interactive, the quarterly publication was among the first general interest magazines on CD. It featured recorded interviews, video, graphics, and three months' worth of Newsweek, and stories from its sister publication, the Washington Post. Then as now, the industry hadn't agreed on a universal standard, so the first edition of Newsweek Interactive was originally compatible with only a $999 Sony multimedia player, according to the report in the New York Times. Newsweek President Richard M. Smith told the Times that his company's early experience with the CD-ROM product would give it a valuable head-start on the competition.
A head-start to last place, I should add. The CD-ROM and its fellow technologies flopped for a variety of reasons. Too expensive, too cumbersome, too wedded to a propriety platform, and not much fun.
The failure of the CD-ROM demonstrates in miniature the difficulty of translating one media form into another. But it's not the only example. Early TV news was often just a newscaster reading a script into a camera—essentially radio on TV. But even modern attempts to extend a media brand into a new technological form have proven disastrous. The New York Times lost millions trying to create a cable channel—Discovery Times—with the Discovery network. Closer to my corporate home, the Washington Post stumbled in its more modest effort to create Washington Post Radio on an AM station in D.C. (See Marc Fisher's postmortem of that venture.) Attempts to morph People magazine, Wired magazine, and USA Todayinto television shows likewise cratered. Time Warner famously squandered millions on the mistaken belief that its ultimate Web portal should be populated with the magazines it published. The site was called Pathfinder.com. It's obvious to us today that what Time Warner should have done but didn't is start a great search engine.
As Boczkowski writes, even when established media companies attempt to innovate into a new media space, they end up hedging—not throwing enough energy into new media because they're too invested in the legacy media. Hedging isn't stupid. It makes sense to hedge as long as your legacy product remains profitable. But hedge too long and you miss making a profitable and timely transition to the new media form (example: the music business). The book industry, once aroused by the e-market, is now having second thoughts and hedging: Hachette, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, and HarperCollins have all delayed the e-publication of some new titles to better protect their paper versions.
To its credit, the newspaper industry both hedged and aggressively embraced the Web starting in 1996. But inventing the media future has proven more difficult for newspapers. Today, many magazine and newspaper publishers feel like chumps for having given the online product away. They complain that online revenue has never matched predictions, and they blame the Web for destroying print circulation and advertising.
As publishers create tablet formats and iPhone apps, they vow they won't repeat the mistake they made with the Web by giving content away. But is $2.99 for an iPhone-optimized version of Esquire really the deal that you've been looking for? Not to take anything away from Esquire, but doesn't its iPhone app seem as vital as Newsweek on CD-ROM? Likewise, I wish Sports Illustrated's electrified version huge success, but I've got a couple of questions. Can the tablet version of SI really compete with the dozen channels of ESPN, Versus, and regional sports on my cable channel? If SI and Esquire are such hotbeds of tech and design creativity, why haven't I ever seen it on their Web sites? And if I were in the market for another video display (and I am!), would I pop $400 to $600 (or more!) for a battery-operated tablet, or would I buy a second HDTV (cheaper!) for my bedroom? Honey, make room for the new HDTV.

Answered Prayers
Beliefnet and US News asked readers to 'Describe any times when your prayers were answered.' Here are some of their responses.
My son is deployed to Iraq. He wasn't due to come home for R & R for a variety of reasons. My husband's brother was killed but my son was still not able to come home because the fighting was too intense. My son surprised me on my doorstep Thanksgiving Day. I know what an answer to a prayer looks like.
I lost a 4-year-old and I was overwhelmed with guilt and grief. For months I was depressed and was taking anti-depressants and just crawling through the days, I asked God to help me overcome this grief and give me peace and forgiveness for the person who ran over my child. I had a great deal of bitterness in me because I couldn't understand why God would have took my son. It was through prayer and prayer only that brought me out of it. The lord answered my prayer by reminding me of something my 4-yr-old would always say. He would always grab my face whenever I said "I love you" to him and say "With all your heart, right?" This made me realize my grief was not for him but for me only, he was in God's hands and I needed to stop griefing and live.
My prayer to stop smoking, was answered right away. The nicotine addiction was gone immediately after I prayed.
Prayers of protection were answered when something told me to look up from a dead stop behind another vehicle turning to see a car behind me unable to stop. I pulled over to the sholder at the last minute (something I normally would have not thought to do...) to witness a five car crash, which would have been seven and a eighteen wheeler, had not a pregnant woman behind me followed my lead so the truck behind her had room to stop.
Peace flows into my heart every time i offer prayer and praises to Allah.
Prayed for car for my daughter who had a great need but not a lot of money. Asked the Lord to send her a reliable car that she could afford. The next day in talking to coworker she mentioned that she was selling her second car. Price was right and deal happened.
