The characters from Sharin No Kuni:
Kenichi MoritaKenichi, the protagonist, is a teen genius coming into the town for his final exam to become a Special High Class Individual. He tends to make a lot of jokes and troll his friends, but on the other hand appears to be covering up some self loathing and depression.
Natsumi HinataThe first of Kenichi's childhood friends, she is shy and withdrawn and extremely bad at dealing with her classmates, especially men. She has the obligation of prohibition from falling in love, meaning she may not come in contact with any men nor display any seductive behaviors in front of them. Strange that a girl who hates to deal with men would have an obligation reserved for those judged to be emotionally and sexually manipulative...In the past, she appeared to have a crush on Kenichi, which unfortunately failed to go anywhere due to the town going under siege due to a rebellion.
Sachi MitshuiroThe second of Kenichi's childhood friends, she tends to be selfish, bossy and lazy. She's also highly energetic, extremely intelligent and a talented painter. She has the obligation of reduction of free time, an obligation reserved for those who made poor use of their time. It was saddled on her when she acquired a great deal of gambling debt and has grown more and more harsh with time. She started at twenty two hours a day, declining due to her stubbornness until in the present she is down to a mere twelve hours a day to sleep, go to school and take care of herself, never mind getting rid of her obligation by actually beginning to work.
Touka OoneThe third and final girl whose obligation Kenichi is tasked with clearing, Touka is a pretty blatant tsundere, for which she takes a great deal of teasing. She is not particularly intelligent and has no obvious talents apart from cooking, something she has been forbidden from doing by her mother Kyouko after she was burned several years ago in the kitchen. Her obligation requires her to follow each and every order anyone recognized as her parent gives her and is occasionally referred to as the obligation to never grow up due to the lack of independence it tends to foster.
Masaomi HouzukiKenichi's mentor, Houzuki is cold, manipulative and harsh. He is the proctor of the exam and does not tolerate failure. He is an extremely wealthy, talented and politically influential man.
Isono "Sepia" IzukiThe third and final of Kenichi's childhood friends, Isono is the only male. His behavior is extremely nonsensical and hard to understand, which puts Kenichi on guard. He is occasionally rather hostile to Kenichi, but normally the two get along quite well.
Ririko HiguchiKenichi's non-blood-related older sister, Ririko is a rather bizarre individual who in the flashbacks was extremely keen on getting young Ken to shape up and be more manly. She bears the Maximum Penalty, the obligation of going unrecognized by society, meaning no one may acknowledge her existence in any way. She has been following Kenichi around the whole time he was in town and thus almost every time he appears to be breaking the fourth wall, he was actually speaking to her.
ManaMana is Sachi's adopted little sister and was taken in when Sachi was at a point of great frustration in her life. Before this, she was a homeless foreign girl. At approximately ten years old, she tends to do all of the housework in Sachi's home, works at the local supermarket and expresses a great desire to see Sachi paint. At the end of Sachi's arc, she is taken away and absent from the rest of the story apart from Sachi's epilogue.
Kyouko OoneTouka's mother and the teacher of Kenichi's class, she is quite young and attractive. She has absolute authority over Touka's behavior.
Eri NagumoA cadet who arrived several minutes late to the exam and was shot to death by Houzuki for it. Apparently proving quite popular for someone who only appeared for apart thirty seconds in the entire story, she possess a sidestory in the fandisc that shows the last two days of her life and why she was late for the exam. She also has a completely nonsensical sex scene that blatantly nods to the fact it was only include due to fan interest.
Fandisc charactersHouzuki's chapter in the fandisc has a cast largely separate from the Sharin no Kuni normal cast and Houzuki himself is almost completely different. As such, they have a unique section.
Masaomi Akutsu
Miina SaikaMasaomi's love interest, she has been served with the obligation to have no privacy. Born to a wealthy shinto family, her mildly rebellious attitude caused her to be saddled with a nasty obligation that Masaomi is charged with clearing.
Saburou HiguchiThe only other candidate to make it to the exam and not be shot down, Saburou is pretty much the polar opposite of Masaomi. He is outgoing, friendly and surprisingly calculating. He also has a knack for cleverly figuring out loopholes in the rules to giving himself an advantage.
Ari Ruruliant HouzukiThe proctor for the exam, Houzuki Ari shows us that in the main story, Houzuki Masaomi really was going easy on Kenichi. She is cruel, abuses her authority and is casually brutal.

Never heard of that brand before, that lipstick colour is to die for! :)ReplyDelete
Jules @ A Bit of Jules
I loved the make up as well. I got the same blush and had the same issue wit the darker side, so have been wearing the lighter shade instead. The lipstick was my favourite!! I'm definitely re-buying their lipstick.ReplyDelete
Love this, thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
This blusher looks like the perfect summer blush! You can use the paler side when you are still a bit pale, and then mix a bit of the darker blush once you have a bit of a tan! Too bad I didn't discover it before...ReplyDelete
The look you created is gorgeous! It makes me want everything!
These look lovely, I love new brands of make-up!ReplyDelete

These look great, the packaging is lovely. xReplyDelete
Ooh you look lovely - and the packaging I just love.ReplyDelete
I totally agree that packaging is important. For me makeup is a luxury item - I buy it because it's fun, and I want to look good, but also to look lovely on my dressing table and for the experience of putting it on every day. Packaging is part of the enjoyment I get from it.
That eyeshadow looks amazing on you!ReplyDelete
btw, we're doing a jewelry giveaway!
That lippie looks BEAUTIFUL, a gorgeous colour and it looks really moisturising. Agree with you about packaging and presentation, I remember thinking the Miss Guided stuff was lovely looking too - actually better than the product itself in fact haha ♥ Claire @ JazzpadReplyDelete

I bought one lipstick and I'm loving this brand here. I'm checking out their website right now. I am tempted to buy some of the eyeshadows, although I feel like Im drowning under eyeshadows at the moment with the amount I have, so I might resist temptation.ReplyDelete

How do I install this on Wordpress?
There is no "Installable Wordpress file"?
Hi Jonas, this is not a Wordpress theme. It's straight html5 mate.
Damn. Ok. Can I have the money back to purchase a Wordpress theme instead then?
Hi Jonas, sorry I have no control over refunds, you need to go through Envato Support for this
Pre-sales question: Is it possible to make the sample pages available as text rather than pop-up images? I'd like to be able to offer readable samples that, first and foremost, will be readable by search engine robots for SEO purposes, and, second, will resize and reflow at different resolutions. Is this beyond the scope of this template? If so, would you consider adding this function?
Hi, the modal windows support ajax page (text pages) aswell as images. So yes to your question.
Very nice template and clean code, very easy to work with. But two things:
1) I don't understand how to make the sample pages come up as text rather than pop-up images. I am not an advanced coder and have no idea how to set up AJAX pages. Can you please provide instructions?
2) I want to add a photo of the author in the "About the author" section. Would you mind giving me a quick idea of how to insert code into the CSS file so that the photo is retina-compatible? I'm all at sea in this regard. May I also suggest that you make this a standard feature in the template? Most book shoppers want to see a picture of the author.
Hi, In regards to retina images in the author section, do the following.
- Add your image to the about author column, I suggest under the title about the author,
- Update the main.css file, specifically find the "img" property and add "max-width: 100%;" to it.
That should take care of that. Now If you want sample text pages to show here is how:
- Create a html page for each sample text page you want to show
- In the page thumbs, change the url to the new text.html page you created instead of the image url : href="text.html"
- Update the classes on same link to be "various fancybox.ajax fancybox mosaic-overlay"
Doing the above will allow you to open html pages in your pop up modal window. You may also want to restrict the size of the new windows also, in which case add the following to the main.js file, making sure you overwrite the old fancybox
// Fancybox.js $('.fancybox').fancybox(); $(".various").fancybox({ maxWidth : 1200, maxHeight : 800, fitToView : true, width : '94%', height : '94%', autoSize : true, closeClick : false, openEffect : 'none', closeEffect : 'none' });
Everything works beautifully! Thank you for your prompt and helpful support and for an excellent theme.
Oops, spoke too soon. One last support request: Calling up articles instead of images works fine. But I want the viewer to be able to read a full article, which means they have to scroll down in the popup window. However, the fancybox overlay blocks the scroll bar, and clicking advances to the next sample article. How to disable the fancybox overlay, yet still make the pop-up text window work?
Or make the actual overlay about 25 pixels narrower, so the user has access to the scroll bar, but can still click in the centre of the popup to move to the next item? Sorry for the nitpicky requests, but again, it seems that text excerpts would be a welcome standard function of this template.
Hi, can you send me your URL. The modal should have a working scroll bar on the right allowing you to put overflow content in the modal.
URL sent by private message. Thanks.
Hello, Just wondering if the PSD source that comes with this template includes the book covers? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ravinot, It sure does come with the Book Cover PSD
Hello, Is it possible to change the "blue paperback book" pic by a "ipad or tablet" pic.
I mean, the template is for ebooks ^^ ?
Yes, the books are on separate layers. SO you could easily not use one book and use a device if you wish.
Hi. I just bought this and I don't see the file to make the book covers. Where is it, and what is it called? I unzipped the download file, and the only PSD file in there is for the whole template, booker_retina.psd. I bought this primarily for the book cover template. Thanks.
Yep, the book covers are part of the booker_retina.psd
Hey Kenny how I can deactivate the responsive option in the booker theme?
Please answer me asap. Thanks
So Sorry for the delay. In your css change wrapper from 90% to 1100px
.wrapper{ width: 1100px; }
Then on line 481 delete all the Media Queries.
Thanks. All the wrapper in file main.css?
Done. one more question. By accessing the page from iphone or ipad on unresponsived page, happens that you can not zoom in or zoom out but the zoom is fixed. Is possible to use the non-responsive page but with zoom functionality enabled?
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" name="viewport">
Hi? Is it support Chinese Word? Then, can i install Google Analytic inside? Last, is it easy to install? Any guide?
You will have to change the character set and yes you can install Google analytics.
A few questions:
1) There is no defined area to include important metadata, such as ISBN numbers, LCCN numbers, file size, book dimensions (because we are selling both print and eBook formats), weight, etc. This is very standard information, and it would nice if there was a specific slot for this.
2) The lack of a specific spot to place the author photo is poor planning. This is a book- specific landing page, and it should include predefined areas for all necessary book-specific information, including the author photo.
3) No social media links. Seriously?!!!
4) No sign-up form area. Seriously?!!!
5) On the plus side, the book cover .psb file is fantastic.
But this is going to require major design changes to be really useful. Right now, I want to get rid of the useless preview area and replace it with a sign-up form. Why in the world would a serious marketer want to give away free samples without at least collecting an email address or a Facebook page "like" or something in return?
How can I safely ditch the area with the preview nonsense and drop in some javascript form code without messing up the text area on the right? What code sections do I need to purge?
I appreciate your assistance and look forward to seeing an updated version of this that is truly useful for the book market.
So you know what I'm talking about in Item #1 above, here is what is on every Amazon.com book page:
Product Details Paperback: 176 pages Publisher: Barking Rain Press; First edition (July 18, 2013) Language: English ISBN-10: 1935460625 ISBN-13: 978-1935460626 Product Dimensions: 0.4×5.4×8.4 inches Shipping Weight: 8.8 ounces
There doesn't have to fields or anything like that—just a CSS styled area for these important details. Many customers (like teachers) get discounts at certain stores, so I want to give them all the information they will need to place the order wherever they want to. Sure, it's nice to take a sale off our website, but I'll take a sale anyway I can get it.
Is it possible to add this landing page into an existing wordpress site?
You could have it as a landing page for a WordPress site. Integrating it into the CMS functionality whilst is possible would involve alot of custom coding for a single page.
Pre-sales question : Is it possible to drop tabs for navigation (menu top right)? thank you, Tiloup*
Sorry what do you men by drop tabs?
Hello, I bought the template. I speak very little English. Is it possible to add a navigation menu Dropdown. Thank you
Hi Tiloup, sorry for the late reply, please use the contact author form on my profile o send me your email address, and I can help out with sending back the drop down menu
How do I install this theme? Im lost… Can someone give me the instruction on how to make this work
This is a HTML template, not a Wordpress theme
Mr Kenny, I really appreciate you template. Does this template come with my ability to add my facebook, twitter, google etc… links for likes? I guess its called plugins…
Hi and yes, as it is a HTML template, you can easily add in any plugin/snippet from the social networks you mention.
thank you for responding. So, I am not familiar with HTML so, will I have to give all of my information to you all for you all to program the info into the website or will I have to hire someone, additionally, to convert my information for my site, to HTML?
And the $9 is that for a year or is that a monthly fee. or a one time fee..
Mr Kenny, Im sorry to bother but my questions are pre purchase questions… I have a hard copy of my book that I sell and I also have eCopies. I want to give people the option to purchase the eCopy or the hard. I also want to have a link to my paypal account for them to purchase the hard copy. I also have a hosting company that store and distribute my e-file for me, will I be able to have all of that at my checkout? And do you do that for me or do I have to hire someone. I am hoping that this is a easy program that is easy for me to upload the info as I wish and would not need any assistance maybe occasionally…
Hi, $9 is one off, you will need to hire someone if you are not familiar with HTML. However it is fairly simple and I have commented all the files and provided documentation. In regards to your check out, that is entirely up to you and how or who you use to process the payments/checkout.
Hi. May you help me? I upload the site to my hosting but all images is not show in the page. Just show the alternative text. What is the problem?
I need install somethings in my hosting server?
Hi Magic, It sounds like your image paths may need to be updated. Double check that the image path is case sensitive and correct. Local environments aren't case sensitive, server are.
I check again this but all is good. I donot change names or folders. Just replace the pictures and some text in html. I upload all estructure and files in one time.
This the message when I try to access some image:
You don't have permission to access /img/logo_dark.png on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache Server at www.adultocentrismo.com Port 80
Sounds like folder permission issue. Change the CHOMOD settings for all files to 644 and all folder to 755.
It is done. But still the problem….
And your images folder is actually on your server? This is clearly a server problem, I think you need to contact your host.
Yes. I want let you know that the problem was a line in the.htaccess file. Thank you for your help.
Hey Kenny,
I am using this theme with unbounce…but they require a .unbounce file to use it. I didn't find one in the theme where is it?
You need to do this yourself. .unbounce is not part of the template.
Hello! Great theme…thank you. For some reason I'm having trouble finding where to change the favicon? Can you tell me where it's located please? Thank you!
in the root directory of the template change all the favicon.ico and apple touch files.
Is this built with Bootstrap 3.x? Do you provide shortcodes file such as Tabs, Accordions, and other boostrap/HTML5 elements with this?
Thanks, JP
Hi JP, no this is nit built with Bootstrap, that would be overkill for a single page site.

CBS 2 - Search Results
Free Medical Device Scam
A new telephone scam is targetting anyone who may need medical equipment or a life alert system.
Right now, dozens of people in West Virginia are complaining to the Attorney General's office about a "company" calling their homes and offering free devices.
Officials say the calls could be coming from anywhere and could spread to other states, including Iowa.
The call starts with a recorded message and tells the victim they are able to get a piece of medical equipment free of charge.
The recording asks the person to push one and speak to a representative.
That's when the scammer could try to get personal information, like the victim's social secuirty number or bank account information to try and steal money.
Officials say if you get a call like this, hang up right away.
If you do speak to a person, do not give them any of your own information but ask them questions instead.
Then hang up, call your local attorney general's office, and share the information with them.

Phidaissi... I think this sums up everything...
Good intentions sometimes do not have good results.
If no one tries to tell those with good intentions, then those results don't change.
I can't force anyone to change who they donate to, but I can try to educate them as to why their good intentions might not be having the good results they believe them to have.
The fact that people say they are 'sorry to hear' someone is autistic really says a lot about perceptions of autism, and that's really bad for autistics.
People with disabilities do not want pity. They want acceptance.
Phidaissi added a post in a topic: Different Charity pleaseI understand that they may have done things to help you as a carer, that is the angle they tend to approach, so they are very appealing to parents and carers of people with autism, particularly those with relatively severe comorbid conditions .
I realise many such people believe supporting Autism Speaks is positive because of the few good things they have done.
But they do these things at great expense to most autistic individuals.
Please consider the ramifications of how they conduct themselves to achieve these things, and not just whether the few things they have done have benefited you as a carer.
Though they do have some good literature, they were also responsible for the spread of known disproven literature (and specifically, the Wakefield stuff) for years. And continued massive investment in related research as well which even lead to a senior executive resigning. Details on wikipedia .
Clearly no one can stop people from donating to such an organisation.
I just want to raise the point that their objectives and methods cause significant harm to autistic adults, and that your child will one day be an adult, and they may not be all that different from me, or the many other autistic adults out there.
I would suggest that the negatives they cause as a result of their methods, are not something you'd enjoy seeing them unhappy at in 20 years time.
And if I had any better way to fully explain just how negative some of these effects are that parents and carers frequently are not aware of, I would love to be able to do so.
Not saying they never do any good, they certainly have done many things to help carers.
The issue is they've done it at the expense of the autistic individuals, and now because of the massive size and public visibility of autism speaks, autistics have no voice , because Autism Speaks drowns them out so completely.
Did you read the links I provided in an earlier post? Do they not convey why autistic adults would feel this way?
Is there anything else I can do to help illustrate this issue to you?
Autism Speaks aims to help carers care, but fails to help autistics gain any independence themselves.
And like most other people, we want to be able to live our lives independently and speak about our needs.
This is why I ask so strongly that the visibility granted from businesses supporting autistic causes please be directed to self-advocacy organisations .
Because no one understands autistics as well as other autistics.
Phidaissi added a post in a topic: Different Charity please[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344845965' post='2296359']
Remember this.. You cannot get acceptance without awareness, but you can get awareness without acceptance. Basically, awareness is important because it makes acceptance possible. Not saying to settle for awareness, just don't shrug off it's value.
While I would generally agree, in this specific instance, due to the methods used by Autism Speaks, much of the awareness has been very negative.
Fortunately there are some other forces out there providing awareness too, but that ad I linked in an earlier post is pretty indicative of the nature of 'awareness' Autism Speaks tend to aim for. Unfortunately I can't see that particular kind being helpful at all.
It also unfortunately leads to a double bind situation for many of us on the spectrum, who because of the extreme and unpleasant depictions often get dismissed by others as not being autistic enough because we CAN speak for ourselves. So either we can't speak and must defer to others, or we are dismissed as being too functional and thus not really autistic. This is one of the arguments often used to explain why an organisation like Autism Speaks have no autistics on the board.
As you did mention from the show Parenthood, I don't think that was negative, and that sort of thing is okay with me. ;)
There are some good and neutral depictions out there, and I would love to see those supported more.
This is one of my biggest reasons for so strongly voicing my objection to Autism Speaks. Because of their size and visibility, they soak up the vast majority of well intentioned donations to help autistics.
Then they produce all the negative depictions that harm us. :(
Sorry for the ranting, but seeing donations of good intentions actually work against those intentions really upsets me.
Phidaissi added a post in a topic: Different Charity please[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344834254' post='2296340']Then it'd be better to say something like, "There are many other sites than what I've linked to." would convey the message that they can be found if someone wants to look, without giving the impression that they need to look. It's like saying, "I've provided a few links, but there's plenty more out there." As I said before, I saw that you provided links, so I wasn't saying you didn't provide any. Just that the wording can be discouraging.
That's quite understandable, and I'm certainly willing to take criticism on how I've presented things.
After all, the intended audience for this sort of thing are NT's (neurotypicals: people who are not autistic) so having things said in a way that helps NT's understand what I'm trying to say is quite important. If I was trying to communicate only with other autistics I'd likely be preaching to the choir! ;)
If there's anything else I can help clarify I am happy to do so, it just feels frustrating at times when people don't understand my intent because my method of communication is different to theirs. That's not the fault of either party, but it's something that needs to be addressed if messages like this one about autistics are to be understood properly by the non-autistics of the world.
[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344834254' post='2296340']Providing links helps the readers who want proof or to read further. They don't have to hunt down the information, as it's easy access and is more likely to get readers and thus support.
That's a good point, and when I first made the post I was mostly trying to raise the point not prove it.
I hope I've helped to provide enough now though.
[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344834254' post='2296340']Even before your first post in this topic and even before IPS was accepting donations to put towards autism (I think it was Autism Speaks, may have been another organization), I was already aware of it. I'm aware of at least two people who fall within the spectrum and was rather glad that the show Parenthood included an autistic character. That show, regardless of it's portrayal, is helping to bring awareness of autism. So I hope you haven't taken anything I said to be against you, as my goal was to get you to present a better case for your concerns.
There are some portrayals that do help to raise awareness of autism and in many ways that's helpful.
Unfortunately, a lot of the awareness doesn't lead to acceptance, and this is why many autistic self-advocacy groups call for autistic acceptance, and not awareness. This is another issue many raise with the model of 'awareness' promoted by Autism Speaks, but I suspect that point would be far too long and complicated for either of us, and as a more 'political' issue is less important than the serious concerns already raised.
There is unfortunately a big difference between being aware that autistics exist, and accepting that they are just people that work a bit differently.
I'd love to see more positive (or even neutral) representations of autism, as they are unfortunately still quite rare. :(
Phidaissi added a post in a topic: Different Charity please[quote name='TaffyCaffy' timestamp='1344804761' post='2296261']
No, I didn't miss your point. You, however, entirely missed mine. It wasn't until your most recent post that you partially discarded general hyperbole in favor of qualifying your own, personal experiences. I am more than happy to acknowledge that there are some people who hold ridiculous views on autism. What I was pointing out to you is that when you paint everyone with the same brush, even in an emotionally honest statement, you alienate those within your readership who take offense at being treated so. This should sound familiar enough to you from another angle, shouldn't it?
Wolfie beat the rest to death with a stick, so I'm going to leave it at that.
Like I have tried to say already, I am making no comments about individuals, a vast number of good people exist in the world and even more are good people that are merely misinformed.
By saying something like, "negative and dehumanising view of autism that most of the general public possess" I am not at all saying you or anyone else specifically hold such views, but that such views are common enough that they are apparent in the general experiences of autistics.
Like many other social disadvantages, these things are often done by otherwise well meaning and good people .
A good example is in fact the whole point of this thread.
I am absolutely sure that when Invision made the decision to support Autism Speaks they did so with genuine good intent and good will.
So I'm not here to paint broad strokes on people, nor am I attempting to alienate anyone specifically, I'm just trying to convey that those attitudes are in fact so common that they are felt quite strongly.
Frequently the actions that cause such things are NOT ill intended.
A great many parents of autistic children are examples of this, where they do things that they believe will help, with the best intentions, not realising that their actions may be contributing to negatives their own children will have to deal with later.
This does not make them bad people, and it certainly doesn't even mean they hold some of the worse views, but if no one stands up to say, "These things are actually negative, even though you had the best intentions" then they will carry on, with those best intentions, believing they are helping.
The only broad stroke I wish to paint is that of the general societal atmosphere experienced by me and many others.
I do not intend to offend any individuals, nor imply that you or anyone you know holds such views.
If I have not communicated my intent clearly then I apologise, such miscommunication is a pretty common event for many of us on the spectrum! ;)
[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344753280' post='2296095']Don't get me wrong, I see that you did provide some links, but that one line of yours, "I'm sure you could find..." just screams of "I don't have proof, so you need to go find something to prove me right." Sadly though, you could be 100% right in everything you have said but without providing the material to validate it, people are going to question and doubt what you say.
I was just trying to convey that there are many other sources, not that I don't have proof.
There are many more sources out there if you wished to look as well, and the autistic organisations run by autistics are probably the best sources, they likely even communicate it better than I do. :P
I provided a few sources for those specific things, as events that I specifically remembered well.
And I put quite a number of links to other sources throughout my previous response, I hope those illustrate the perspective a little better.

Try not throwing such wide sweeping statements out if you want to engage your readership. I'm not sure what kind of "general public" you're dealing with on a daily basis, but the one in my neck of woods certainly does not bear out the description you gave them. To me, (being a member of the "general public",) your statement reads as nothing more than you projecting your own outlook upon other people, with the further kicker of that outlook being pretty offensive. A chip on your own shoulder does not make for a good, factual argument.
I think you might have missed my point.
That's kinda like saying, "Or you're black and you think society has a generally racist attitude? Prove it!"
I experience the results of the attitudes towards autism, everything from "Oh you can talk so you can't be autistic!" which then has my valid needs dismissed through to "Autistics can't learn in normal schools, so we're going to separate them from the rest of society".
I am not saying any individual or your friends, or your community have these attitudes, I am saying they are the expressed results of society, which comes from many many people holding such attitudes, and a few large and very visible organisations like Autism Speaks promoting them.
There are many people that have a good attitude towards autistics, that do listen to us and treat us with respect.
Unfortunately they are not all of society, and Autism Speaks keeps speaking over the top of actual autistics.
There are no autistics speaking from autism speaks , they are all NT.
[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344713474' post='2295985']
More like, only giving the feeling or emotion doesn't make for a good, factual argument. It boils down to being nothing more than the spreading of a rumor. It's like if I were to say, "The information on IMDb isn't reliable" but providing no examples as to why I'm saying that. I may very well have valid reasons for making that comment but without giving the reasons and examples to validate the reasons, it's nothing more than a claim. Now to provide links to several pages (shows/movies/people) with details as to what's inaccurate, preferably with links to reliable sources to verify how it's inaccurate, that would demonstrate the claim.
One of the points I tried to make was that Autism Speaks is offensive to the vast majority of autistics.
This is a fundamentally emotional stance and point. I was not intending for that to be a matter of fact, or citation.
It was akin to saying, "Organisation x that fights against sexism is found offensive by the majority of women".
If most autistics find them offensive, are they really helping them?
Don't you think there might be a reason?
If people are interested in helping autistics, shouldn't they care if the organisation claiming to do so is actually offending the autistic community?
[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344713474' post='2295985']"Autism Speaks" could very well be unworthy of receiving donations because of the few things mentioned, but I prefer to see proof of those things. Are there any news sources that have done articles on A.S. that mention the same things? Are there people (verifiable) that have witnessed this first hand and told of their personal experiences? Regardless of the cause, any charity/organization that isn't focused on the same goals as those it's representing needs to be brought out with facts, not just a dislike. Some of them use very little of the donations for expenses and employments, while wisely using the rest for the end goal (cancer research, helping kids, feeding the hungry, etc). Others take out a large amount for nonsense reasons (bonuses, etc for those running it) while giving something like only 5% of the donations towards the advertised goal. The latter type of organizations, be it from greed, lack of understanding, lack of compassion, etc, are the ones people like to learn about with verifiable facts, so they know who to avoid donating to and warns others about.
I understand what you're saying, but the problem isn't that they're frivolous with their money, it's that the underlying goals and attitudes of Autism Speaks are offensive to autistics.
It's in their wording, their view of autism, their research goals.
In most materials they refer to families 'affected by autism'.
As though autism is a curse that affects these families.
Then as mentioned by another, use videos and releases to reinforce that with NT parents speaking out, and encouraged to tell the world just how bad it is that they have a child with autism .
They consistently refer to autism as a 'risk', like your risk of cancer, or risk of some disease.
Despite the fact that it is uncontroversially established that autism is genetic !
(Though due to the large number of contributing factors, there's no single source or genetic marker)
The issue is that as Autism Speaks is by far the most visible and largest 'autism charity' then media and many people look to them and mirror their attitude.
They think if Autism Speaks says it that way, it's okay to say it that way. But it's not.
[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344713474' post='2295985']What if there is simply a misunderstanding about how A.S. is operating and the few negative things are based on the words of a few people who may have had a rare bad experience from an otherwise respectable organization? Worse yet, what if some of those bad experiences weren't the fault of A.S. but rather from a misunderstanding based on what others said? That happens a lot in the world. For example, what if someone misread something about A.S. and went to someone they know saying, "A.S. will pay for you to go to college!" and that person then contacts A.S. and is told "No we don't do that." The middle person suddenly had a negative experience and may be thinking that their friend would never lie to them, so A.S. must be making false claims. So then they go around warning others to not donate to A.S. because they're liars.
There is no misunderstanding, this is fundamental to the language used, their stated goals, and what they actually invest their research in.
Directly from their own strategic plan they call autism a disease!
This isn't even new from them, a few second on google and in a press release it's described as devastating news to families!
(Oh, and that one was done with another organisation called "Cure Autism Now", I won't even start on how offensive that is.)
They are STILL referring to autism as an epidemic , again implying that it is a disease, and also that it is increasingly common.
As recent studies aimed at general population levels show -
I can personally attest to that, especially for women , that under previous guidelines were almost always missed and leads to the situation where the criteria are aimed at autistic exp ression in boys, miss girls, and so autism is a boys 'disease'. I was not diagnosed until adulthood because of this.
[quote name='Wolfie' timestamp='1344713474' post='2295985']It would also help if you provided links to sites where a majority of the community is autistic or has some form of autism and a majority of that community is against A.S. or have concerns or issues with them. It says a lot when an organization is disliked or spoken badly about from the very people it's supposedly trying to help.
The largest 'community' would probably be the online community Wrong Planet .
(Which is an allusion to the metaphor that autistics major issue is the society we live in, that if we lived on a planet where everyone was autistic then most of our issues wouldn't occur. So we live on the 'Wrong Planet')
There was an April Fools article on there too, so make sure to check the date on the posts. :tongue:
The fact Autism Speaks was the subject of such an article, and the content and strong wording of it, should say something about the community attitude to them as well.
There are some great autistic organisations by autistics, that do have our interests at heart.
The biggest one is probably ASAN ( Autistic Self Advocacy Network )
They even have a flier specifically addressing Autism Speaks!
I'm sure you could find ample information about these things, that Autism Speaks have done:
[*]Advocated for MMR/Vaccine links to autism that were completely fraudulent . They have even supported that researcher after he was shown to be a fraud. Links here , and here . [*]Have used offensive public campaigns to raise money. Like this one , video here . I don't recall ever seeing such demonisation being acceptable elsewhere. :( [*]Consistently promote autism as a disease, even wikipedia lists it . Which also leads to their rejection of Neurodiversity approaches to autism. [*]Try to represent autism as an epidemic to scare people. Despite the fact there's ample reason to suggest that it is diagnosis becoming more accurate .
I won't even try to outline every single issue there is with Autism Speaks.
I am just trying to make people aware that they are not a positive force for autistics, and if you want to help autistics then please donate your money to another organisation.
Phidaissi added a post in a topic: Different Charity pleaseWhile some aspects of the legislation they help pass can be positive (such as better or guaranteed insurance coverage, etc) there are many negatives to what they promote as well.
When they have been confronted about such issues by autistics, they are dismissed and ignored.
If an organisation fighting racism was staffed exclusively by white people, and ignored the cries of people that suffer racism, people would question the integrity of that organisation.
If an organisation fighting for disability rights was staffed exclusively by able-bodied people, and they ignored the opinions of those with disabilities, there would be serious questions asked.
If an organisation fighting sexism was staffed exclusively by men, and ignored the vocal outrage from women over their policies, people would not consider them a positive contributor.
Autism Speaks does not represent autistics, and has actively made things worse for many, and has contributed to many of the myths and misconceptions about autism.
So while there may have been a few positives from some of the legislation, they are overwhelmingly a source of pain and insult to the autistic community as a whole. :(
Phidaissi added a post in a topic: Unapproved to hidden in upgraderI recently upgraded from an old version, where we used unapprove as the means to hide posts but leave them in context (or soft-delete as many call it).
The hide functionality is absolutely perfect for how we use the forums, but the thousands of 'unapproved' posts all over the forum were a pain.
The upgrader should possibly ask "do you want to convert unapproved posts to hidden posts?"
I ended up doing it with a few queries directly in the db - doing each of them via mod panel would have been way too much.
Phidaissi added a post in a topic: Different Charity pleaseI noticed today that Invision are supporting Autism Speaks - http://www.invisionpower.com/charity
I would ask that you please choose another charity, Autism Speaks are widely despised by the autistic community because they do not have our interests in mind.
There are many many places online that will detail the criticism of Autism Speaks in great detail.
Here is one letter someone to another organisation supporting Autism Speaks earlier this year, which may interest you: Responding to Autism Speaks
From the letter:
They consistently work against the interests of autistic adults, and demean and demonise autism as a whole.
They outright ignore developments in the science... Even when they come from their own research - such as still promoting the now thoroughly disproven vaccine theory, and the overwhelming evidence that autism is genetic and not typically detrimental in itself.
As an autistic adult and a customer, I ask that you please do not support Autism Speaks.
They have done nothing but make it harder for the voices of actual autistics to be heard, and have been the driving force between the massively negative and dehumanising view of autism that most of the general public possess.
If you would like to help autistics, the autism community, or research to assist those with autism, please donate that money to one of the organisations that actually do help us, and help undo the damage Autism Speaks has been doing to autistics.
If you need more information, or would like to get in contact with organisations that could greatly benefit from such support, I am happy to direct you to the right places.
Just please, please not Autism Speaks.

Something the developers should probably be aware of about the G92 core GeForce 8800 GTS 512 cards is that you can't use drivers above 178.13 or else your entire system is unstable (and in some situations will not even get passed Windows login due to the instability). This isn't an old card model by any stretch of the imagination so I'm not really sure why nVidia still hasn't fixed the driver stability in more recent versions. Just letting you guys know since this could potentially break the game down the road for people with these cards. Something I don't know is whether the older cores for this card have the same problem. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't just to make things even more annoying since I don't think you can easily differentiate an older core (G82?) from the G92 cores.

We present you yet another nice piece of the Visvim Spring/Summer 2008 collection. The Shigatse shirt is a thin denim shirt. Of course Visvim does not just leave it there and adds breathable inserts under the arms. Also the contrasting white buttons are refreshing on the usually more winter targeted denim shirt.

Six wayward teenagers who'd run into trouble with the law, and their court-appointed guardians, Sara and Martin Randhurst. Three nights on a small, deserted island off of Michigan's upper peninsula. A time to bond, to learn, to heal.Then Martin told a campfire story about the island's history. Of the old civil war prison hidden in there, and the starving confederate soldiers who resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. Everyone thought it was funny. They even laughed when Martin pretended to be dragged off into the woods.But Martin didn't come back. And neither did Sara when she went in search of him.Then the laughter stopped....TO DEATHThe group soon began to realize that this deserted island wasn't so deserted after all. And perhaps Martin's ridiculous story had more truth to it than anyone thought.What's the most horrifying thing you can imagine?This is a hundred times worse...TRAPPED by Jack KilbornIt starts where other horror ends A Word of Warning:This is the long-awaited follow-up to AFRAID, one of the most horrifying books ever written.Originally scheduled to be released in paperback in 2010, the publisher read the first version of the manuscript and refused to release it.

Things are heating up at Sul Ross. Temperatures soared into the upper 80s this weekend, just in time to enjoy college softball and baseball in Alpine, as well as the Love Your Community 5K Walk/Run to benefit the Alpine Food Pantry and university scholarships. As an optimist, I am inclined to think that Spring has sprung and our trademark beautiful weather has returned for the year. Of course, I also have heard from long-time residents not to get too excited too soon since perennials planted before March 1st tempt the return of freezing weather.
Campus is heating up in other ways as well. In addition to recent softball and baseball games and the 5K Walk/Run (which was a huge success thanks to Karen Brown and company), Lobo men's and women's basketball teams competed on Saturday making it a college sports enthusiast's dream day. And if this were not enough to fill a busy calendar we have several other significant events scheduled this week. Tomorrow begins with a visit by U.S. Representative Pete Gallego's staff to learn more about exciting developments around campus. Immediately following that, our excellent theatre department wraps up its final showings of "Hamlette," first to an audience of 500 middle schoolers from out of town (undoubtedly future Lobos), and later in the day to students from Alpine ISD (also future Lobos we hope!). The next day we host another activity on campus, the San Antonio Livestock Event (SALE) address. This year's presentation will be provided by Texas A & M Professor Dr. Jim Heird. His talk, entitled "Current Issues in the Equine Industry," will begin at 7:30 PM in the University Center Conference Rooms. Thanks to the success of SALE, more than $1.5 million has been raised over the past 25 years to support student scholarships at Sul Ross.
Thursday evening Trappings comes to Sul Ross with a kick-off dinner in Marathon at the Gage Hotel. The next morning at 10 AM in Marshall Auditorium the Annual Cowboy Poetry extravaganza begins for the 28th consecutive year on our campus. Noted storytellers and poets including Allan Chapman and Rodeo Kate, Chris Isaacs, Cowboy Celtic and Amy Hale Auker will be on hand non-stop through Saturday to regale audiences with tall tales and homespun poetry suitable for hat and boot wearers of all sizes. Later that day the Museum of Big Bend opens at 5 PM for a well-catered reception to honor numerous artists who will be on hand to meet and greet prospective patrons as the MOBB kicks off its most prominent fundraising event of the year. Trappings events continue through the weekend with gatherings planned at the Reata on Friday night and culminating with the official opening exhibit, sale and reception the Museum of the Big Bend on Saturday evening.
The following week is jam packed too, with various Lobo athletes playing road games throughout central Texas, a Texas State University Systems Board of Regents Quarterly meeting taking place in San Marcos, a "Meet the New Head Football Coach" alumni luncheon in San Antonio at the Oak Hills Country Club (organized by Ken Batchelor—Thanks Ken!) at noon on Friday, and then tentatively, a signing ceremony later that same afternoon in Uvalde to mark an agreement with Mexico to accept students into Sul Ross on a more seamless basis.
So per usual this time of year, it is a sprint to Spring Break and mid-terms soon thereafter to plunge us into the second half of the term. So let's keep going Lobos in a positive direction. There's much to do and much to look forward to!

A black bear confirmed in Benton County on Tuesday, June 25, could be the same one that has been on a path through Barton, Vernon and Bates counties in recent weeks. The bear was in brush near a field beside Route C about five miles west of Lincoln. A citizen notified Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC ) Agent David Harms about the bear. Agent Harms responded, confirmed the sighting, and took some distant photos.

Thanks for the clarification....BTW, in what Kernel version was that also solved ?
I'm curious about that...
