The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) informs it has elected Kristin Decas, CEO and port director for the Port of Hueneme (Calif.) as its incoming chair for AAPA's 2014-2015 activity year. Ms. Decas will take office at the conclusion of the association's annual convention in Houston in November. "The upcoming activity year will be an exciting one and we look forward to Kristen's leadership as AAPA continues to address the issues of most relevance and importance to all our member ports," said Kurt Nagle, AAPA president and CEO. "Kristin is a proven leader and will be a great asset to AAPA, and to the port industry. She was an extremely energetic and effective chair of AAPA's Maritime Economic Development Committee, fostering collaborative processes to share experiences and resolve industry challenges." Ms. Decas took over as the Port of Hueneme's CEO in February 2012. In 2013, the port marked its most active trade year since its inception in 1937 and achieved the strongest fiscal numbers in its 75-year history. Today, Port of Hueneme-related activities generate $1 billion in annual economic impact and create more than 10,200 direct, indirect, induced and influenced jobs. Prior to taking the Port of Hueneme's helm, Ms. Decas served for five years as CEO and port director for the Port of New Bedford, Mass., the nation's number one value fishing port. In that position, she orchestrated the port's complete fiscal turnaround and played a vital role in the development of a new terminal to support the nation's first offshore wind energy project. Under her leadership, the Port of New Bedford also realized significant growth in its cruise and recreational boating activity. Recognized for her impressive work in promoting economic development through international trade promotion and for her service on scores of federal level shipping and port committees, Ms. Decas was recently awarded a high-profile appointment by the U.S. Department of Transportation to both the National Freight Advisory Committee (NFAC) and the U.S. Marine Transportation System National Advisory Council (MTSNAC). "I feel very privileged to serve as AAPA's next chairman of the board and am thankful for the opportunity," said Ms. Decas. "I very much look forward to working with all of my maritime colleagues on important and timely initiatives, including the reauthorization of the national's transportation act, advancement of maritime policy, infrastructure and economic development initiatives, and outreach and communication strategies." Ms. Decas also said she is thankful to AAPA's current chairman, Port of Seattle CEO Tay Yoshitani, "for his continued leadership and stellar work on behalf of the association." About AAPA Founded in 1912, AAPA today represents more than 130 of the leading seaport authorities in the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean and about 300 sustaining, associate and honorary members, firms and individuals with an interest in seaports.

Britain's Prince Harry does a preflight check of his Boeing-made Apache helicopter in southern Afghanistan in January 2012. He is not on record as ... View Enlarged Image
Political Correctness: Despite the latest example of word-use insanity, naming a helicopter after the Indian nation that handed the U.S. Army one of its most ignominious defeats is a sign of respect, not racism.
In 2012, military blogger Crispin Burke reports, American Indian leaders were on hand to bless two brand-new UH-72 Lakota helicopters, named after the Lakota Sioux, the tribe that gave Col. George Custer a final exam on the proper use of light cavalry in combat at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876.
The two choppers, christened Eagle and Turtle for prominent Indian symbols, have honor feathers in their cockpits, gifts from the tribe to the North Dakota National Guard.
It shows how much political correctness has run amok in the light of the Washington Redskin madness that the outrage over Army helicopters comes not from Indians, but the editorial pages of the Washington Post.
There, Simon Waxman, managing editor of Boston Review, called the use of tribal names for helicopters an "injustice" and even objected to the Tomahawk cruise missile or that the operation that dispatched Osama bin Laden was dubbed Operation Geronimo.
The opening scene of the iconic TV series "M*A*S*H" shows a helicopter approaching the 4077th medical unit. It is an H-13 Sioux, widely used in the Korean War. It is one of a long series of Army choppers that honor Indian tribes for their extraordinary courage, bravery and often-brilliant tactics in battle.
American Indians are not offended over Army helicopters carrying their tribal names. They in fact insist that they do.
In the 1960s, when the Army introduced the Huey Cobra helicopter gunship, Indian tribal leaders protested it did not have a tribal name. The tradition quickly resumed with the Army revived the tradition, with the AH-56 Cheyenne, OH-58 Kiowa, AH-64 Apache and the Blackhawk, which played a role in military and cinematic history as the namesake of "Blackhawk Down," the story of our misadventure in Somalia.
Burke points out the Army Materiel Command gets approval from Indian tribes before naming its helicopters. It hasn't been turned down yet. "The Army's naming convention isn't about a whitewash of history. It's not racism. It's respect," he notes.
The RAH-66 Comanche, for example, honored a tribe of mounted warriors that often outmaneuvered, outrode and outfought the best-equipped units of the U.S. Cavalry.
It's become common among liberals to equate any mention of Indians by non-Indians as inherently racist. But the American military's use of tribal names — and the fierce warriors who fought on those tribes' behalf — is anything but racist.
Such warriors were feared and respected, as are the helicopters that bear the names of these honored warriors.

Dr. Patel is by far the best doctor, I have ever been too. He truly cares about his patients and does everything he can for his patients. Dr. Patel is the only doctor that has truly made a difference in my health and my on going fight with autoimmune disease. Thanks, Dr. P, you are the best!!!!

I have been going to Dr. Patel for 5 years. He is ALWAYS available either by phone or email. He will promptly get back with you. Informative and friendly. Hardly any wait and great staff. Personal care with every visit. Love him.

This Dr. was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is also a physician and SHE goes to him. He was sincere, caring, smart, and worked with me on fees, as I have no insurance. He and his sweet staff were a blessing to me. I've never in 50 years been to a more knowledgable, caring and sincere Dr. I would trust him with my life, and do.

I couldn't believe that doctor and staff started within minutes of appointment time - phenomenal. Dr P is EXTREMELY caring and thorough. He also handled it well when I told him I was smarter than he was - mostly because his father is an engineer too. I was mostly seeing how he'd handle it. He's VERY intellegent and thinks things through by collecting all data. BEST doctor in Florida or at least of the ones (10-12) I've tried and rejected.

Dr. Patel is awesome! He's very friendly and easy to talk to, and you can ask him anything. I have never sat in the waiting room for more than 10 minutes for an appointment, and his staff is very friendly and helpful, both in person and on the phone. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Yesterday, information came to me. It arrived in the form of a sentence, spoken by one of the esteemed Pitchfork writers. It told of big-time music critics calling Grandaddy's The Sophtware Slump "album of the year." Now, pardon me if I sound disturbed, but it's fucking March. Consider all the great bands with albums in the 2000 pipeline: Radiohead, The Wrens, Björk, The Beta Band-- do we really want to limit ourselves to Grandaddy this early on?
Atmospheric pop has dominated Critics' Lists for too long. How long ago did Mercury Rev issue Deserter's Songs? Is this all we can aspire to in the future? Where's the goddamn rock these days? Isn't anyone interested in volume? While no one may ever step up to answer these questions, one thing is for certain-- time is running out for this genre, and I have a feeling it's not exactly going to age like wine. However, even at this late hour, The Sophtware Slump manages to sound reasonably fresh, yields its share of unshakable melodies, and excels in production. This is quite possibly the last great entry in the atmospheric pop canon.
The lyrical content of The Sophtware Slump focuses largely on failed industrial machinery-- crashed airplanes, malfunctioning androids, and abandoned appliances-- returning to the earth, or just lying around broken. Undeniably, this is that blasted Radiohead influence rearing its twitchy eye. Yeah, since OK Computer, everyone wants to be them. Really, you can't blame people for attempting their own variations on the theme. OK Computer is, after all, one of the greatest albums our generation has experienced in its time. But bands need to realize that they're not Radiohead, and that no one ever made it into the history books by trying to do what another group had already done better.
The Radiohead influence seems obvious here, coming from a band whose last album, the 1996 (pre-OK Computer) debut Under the Western Freeway, was comprised of light-hearted, Weezer-inspired sing-alongs. But surprisingly, Grandaddy inject the album with an air-tight cohesiveness, and enough of their own personality, emotion and creativity to warrant looking past the fact that someone's already succeeded in recording the ultimate anti-technology album.
But Grandaddy do manage to stir up raw emotion and genuine sincerity over songs that are far hookier and more immediately accessible than Radiohead's. The album's anthemic opener, "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot" gives a glimpse into the album's multi-layered, airy, Godrich-esque production techniques, as well as its general disheartened feel and epic tendencies (the track runs almost nine minutes long).
For the most part, the album's songs are solid to the point that they'd have the potential of becoming indie rock classics if frontman Jason Lytle wasn't content to beat you over the head with them. Out of the gate, these melodies are all enjoyable to an almost surreal degree. And most of them remain that way. The problem arises when Lytle plays the same bars repeatedly without relying on choruses or bridges (as in the almost torturous third track, "Jed the Humanoid"). A few of these tracks also drag on just a little too long.
There are few upbeat tracks on the album, and most of them come toward the beginning. After the heavy-hearted weight of "He's the Pilot," the bouncy "Hewlett's Daughter" serves as a nice breather. "The Crystal Lake" stands as one of the album's highlights with its driving chorus and preprogrammed Cars-inspired keyboard scale. "Chartsengrafs" follows close behind, fueled by buzzing guitars and drawn-out harmonies. And finally, we come to the radio-ready "Broken Household Appliance National Forest," a track about "air conditioners in the woods."
But that's where the happiness ends. The rest of the album wallows in a depression so deep, it'd make your grandparents stock up on canned foods and dress in rags. The Radiohead influence really becomes apparent on the last four tracks. "Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)" resurrects a verse of "Jed the Humanoid," sung a cappella, before launching into a sparkling, glossy epic and finally settling into the menacing "Knievel Interlude (The Perils of Keeping It Real)." "Miner at the Dial-A-View" kicks in after two minutes, encapsulating the entire album with longing, regretful lyrics ("I dream at night/ Of going home someday/ Somewhere, so far away"), distant melodic beeping, and a female voice giving instructions on the proper usage of the "dial-a-view."
The Sophtware Slump comes to a close with "So You'll Aim Toward the Sky," a spacious five-minute epic that opens with discordant guitar lines over subtle technology-related sound effects. The song repeats four lines over dramatic strings, chimes in the vein of "No Surprises," and Jason Lytle's best Thom Yorke impression. And surprisingly, it's more effective and believable than derived and cloying. When the songs winds down, you're left with a feeling of genuine impact.
Now, I'm not saying The Sophtware Slump even comes close to touching OK Computer, though I can see what about it might drive someone to call it "album of the year" this early on. But we have nine months to go! If we'd said Built to Spill's Keep It like a Secret was the album of the year in January, 1999, we wouldn't have been taking the Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin and the Dismemberment Plan's Emergency & I into account.
So, watch yourself now, 'cause it looks like there's gonna be some pretty crazy hype surrounding The Sophtware Slump this year. And yes, the record is good, but as music fans, we have a duty to expect more from bands than recreations of albums past. We need innovators, not imitators, goddamnit! Think of the children!

ANAHEIM, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/29/14 -- Casita at Colony Park recently released a new phase to accommodate homebuyer demand for stylish living in the center of it all. Located within the NEW Anaheim, Casita's innovative townhomes and detached designs are walking-close to brand new restaurants, cafes and entertainment at the Anaheim Packing District, as well as Center Street Promenade. Offering great proximity to your own resort-style recreation, including select homesites close to The Cabana, the community's latest clubhouse amenity, homebuyers are encouraged to visit Casita soon for more information on the neighborhood's newest selection of homes. The combination of spacious floorplans, spectacular locale and the architectural distinction of respected homebuilder and developer Brookfield Residential make owning at Casita a rare opportunity. With prices starting from the low $500,000s, low HOA dues and no Mello-Roos, Casita is a great value for new home living in Anaheim.
The neighborhood's Residence 1 and Residence 2 are attracting homebuyers who desire a stylish attached floorplan just a short stroll from the pool and community park. Buyers of Casita's Residence 1 and Residence 2 can also personalize their home by customizing their cabinetry, flooring and more, which adds even more value.
"Casita has so much going for it that it's hard for homebuyers to decide what they love most," said Mercedes Meserve, Senior Marketing Director for Brookfield Residential Southern California. "The innovatively designed Residence 1 and Residence 2 are perfect for active lifestyles and people who want to enjoy a customized home with all the ease of attached living. Only at Casita can you find stylish new homes with Brookfield's signature touches that are just steps from a variety of recreational amenities and some of the most exciting restaurants, bars, and cultural hotspots in California."
Residence 1 features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in approximately 1,411 square feet of living space. A private entry yard provides a quaint space to create a garden or entertainment zone. Residence 2 offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in approximately 1,450 square feet and a private courtyard ideal for outdoor dining. Both of these plans also include the convenience of an attached 2-car garage with storage.
Casita offers comfortable, well-planned interiors showcasing spacious living areas and large bedrooms, with in-demand features including granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances and a range of eco-smart features that can reduce utility bills by approximately 25%-40% when compared to neighboring cities.
Private resort-style amenities to relax, play and socialize with friends and neighbors are just outside your front door at Casita, with exclusive recreational centers featuring saltwater pools, covered outdoor pavilion with barbecues, a green park, indoor-outdoor entertainment areas, spa, outdoor fire pits, bar, barbecues and a lounge for parties (per location). Colony Bark, a community dog park planned to open in June, will soon give furry friends an amenity as desirable as those enjoyed by their two-legged buddies.
The Anaheim Packing District is footsteps away from Casita, a dynamic gathering place that includes the Packard Showroom, where the popular Anaheim Brewery and Umami Burger are now open. The Farmers Park also awaits with its outdoor marketplace and community activities, and the future Packing House will give Casita homeowners an international display of culinary fare just outside their neighborhood. For more information, visit www.Anaheimpackingdistrict.com.
The Historic Colony District also includes cafes, art and entertainment opportunities that encompass the Muzeo Museum and Center Street Promenade. Colony Park is easily accessible to three major freeways, presenting an easier work commute to major employment centers in Orange County as well as Los Angeles, San Diego and the Inland Empire.
To visit Casita at Colony Park from the 5 Freeway, exit Lincoln Avenue and head east. Turn right on Olive Street and follow the signs to The Welcome House. The Welcome House is open Friday-Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Tuesday-Thursday by appointment. For more information on Colony Park, call 888.448.4550, or visit www.BrookfieldSoCal.com.

And the Oscar nomination goes to... everyone
There are a lot of very happy, very tired people in Hollywood this morning, chugging double shot caramel nonfat macchiatos while waking up everyone on their speed dial with shouts of "We did it! We're up for Best Picture!"
Yes, the Academy Award nominations were announced this morning and the only super interesting part of presentation was seeing how the academy's new policy of nominating 10 films for Best Picture would work out in real life. You see, when the Oscar folks told us all that they were doubling the number of nominees from 5 to 10 in the motion picture industry's biggest category, the announcement was met with both joy and apathy. Joy for the films that missed out in a crowded race in years past and apathy for the chance that when stretched to find 10 great films, a not-so-great one would get in (and possibly win the whole thing).
So, I give you the list of nominees. What did you see? What didn't you see? What do you think should win? And what do you think shouldn't be on the list in the first place?
"The Blind Side"
"District 9"
"An Education"
"The Hurt Locker"
"Inglourious Basterds"
"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire"
"A Serious Man"
"Up in the Air"
supercowbellninja 4 years, 12 months ago
I actually like the expanded list as it give some "smaller" films a chance at an Oscar - if this were just five, then so long Hurt Locker, Precious, District 9 and Blind Side.
That said, how in the world does Sharlto Copley from District 9 NOT get a nomination after that performance??
sad_lawrencian 4 years, 12 months ago
These nominations are horrible. Only four nominations for J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek"? (It was the best movie of 2009, in my opinion). And no nomination for best picture? The Oscars are meaningless. I do not plan to watch them this year.
Sarah Henning 4 years, 12 months ago
Good points, Supercowbell and Sad! Sharlto Copley and "Star Trek" definitely deserved more recognition!
jniccum 4 years, 12 months ago
The expanded list is not without its charms. But it doesn't matter if you ballooned the list to 20 pictures, there are still only four that have a shot of being named Best Picture: Avatar, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds and Up in the Air.
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 12 months ago
very happy to see that district 9 got several nods-- including best picture. its definitely a dark horse in the running. i am glad it is getting its props tho-- it was a very good film.
Flap Doodle 4 years, 12 months ago
For the best use of dialog containing the words "sauerkraut sammich", the winner is "Basterds". And the crowd goes wild!
Danielle Brunin 4 years, 12 months ago
sad and sarah,
Totally agree. I thought Star Trek was extremely well made and have yet to find someone who didn't like it. Even those people who knew nothing about Star Trek liked it. Arrgh!
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 12 months ago
i didn't think that basterds was tarrantinos best work and i am not sure about the best director nod BUT he definitely deserves props for that screenplay!
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 12 months ago
supercowbell, i agree w/ what you said about mr. copley's performance in districrt 9.
you wanna know something? i almost cried at the very end-- you know the very last scene? such a well done movie. i'm glad to see it wasn't slept on.
jniccum 4 years, 12 months ago
Pywacket: They have some wacky points-based system worked out to avoid that very problem. Here is the best explanation of it that I found online: "Once the 10 nominees are named, voters will rank the films from 1 to 10. All the No. 1 votes will be counted, and if no film has more than 50 percent of the vote (which will certainly be the case), the last-place film will be eliminated and the voters who voted for that film will have their No. 2 votes counted instead. That process will continue until one film has a majority of the votes."
kcgregory 4 years, 11 months ago
For full disclosure I have not seen An Education or Precious. Having seen the others and other films not listed, The Blind Side should be nowhere near any list of "best pictures". I liked Fantastic Mr. Fox better than Up, but both are deserving. Where The Wild Things are was the biggest snub. No nominations and it was the best film I saw all year.
MrNoGuac 4 years, 11 months ago
I'm pulling for "District 9". I found it to be a very well made and disturbing movie (In a good way).
I really enjoyed "Inglorious Bastards" but I don't think its best picture quality. Granted, it did have best picture quality acting, IMO.
If "The Blind Side" wins, the terrorists have won. I bet Michael Oher agrees with me.
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 11 months ago
i didn't even want to see the blind side. it looked sappy as hell and i can't believe the accolades its getting! maybe i'll give it a chance a couple of years from now.
i want to see the fantastic mr. fox. i heard that's an excellent film.
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 11 months ago
i want to see precious. never was a big monique fan (of her stand up comedy in particular) but it looks like she hit that part out of the park!
acg 4 years, 11 months ago
Mine too, autie, as well as paranomal activity. I wonder if they're ever coming. I loved District 9! What a great, freaky flick.
Althea Schnacke 4 years, 11 months ago
I was surprised to see "Up" was nominated, which shows that the expanded list does give some less obvious but still excellent movies a chance. Has an animated movie ever gotten a nomination for Best Picture before, let alone a win?
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 11 months ago
beauty and the beast was the first full length animated movie to be nominated for best picture (it didn't win). the next year, they created the category for full lenth animated feature.
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 11 months ago
on my to see list:
The Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Hurt Locker
Up in the Air (loves me some georgie boy!)
I still think Avatar was overrated. Aesthetically very pleasing but so very contrived
Boeing 4 years, 11 months ago
Coming back to the Basterds, I am very happy to see Christoph Waltz (aka Hans Landa) up for best supporting actor, which (I believe) he won at the Golden Globes. He nailed that role and was the best actor in that movie, without a doubt. Tarantino even said it was the best part in any of his movies.
Mel Briscoe 4 years, 11 months ago
i liked christoph but his character didn't seem terrible enough. lol i know that sounds weird but i was thinking more schindler's list and less hogan's heroes. i guess, in a way, his character was a combo of them both. he did order that family to be executed, but along w/ that sinister vibe he had almost a goofiness as well. especially in the last couple of scenes. i thought they were borderline silly.
Mary Darst 4 years, 11 months ago
The only one we have seen is "bastards". it was good but not the best movie I've seen. Autie you will love bastards and the sammach.
jedifunk 4 years, 11 months ago
Wait, someone said that Hurt Locket wouldn't make it into a field of five? Are you high? That's been the frontrunner for the past few weeks. Get with it, chop chop.
jedifunk 4 years, 11 months ago
Also, Mel, the category for best animated feature was created in 2001. Not just one year, but a whole decade after Beauty's nomination.
AnonymousBosch 4 years, 11 months ago
Up was horribly depressing and hardly worthy of a best picture nod. Best Animation maybe, because Pixar still has the best animation around. However, it starts with a depressing premise and never lets go. Way to make us all miserable about our lost opportunities in life, and way to depress all the grandparents who took their grandkids to see this film expecting, well, something UP-beat and fun.

Frank Lampard: I enjoy it when I'm written off
Frank Lampard today vowed to keep proving the doubters wrong in order to have one last attempt to win the World Cup with England.
Tomorrow, Lampard is set to become only the eighth Englishman to reach 100 caps when the side play their crunch World Cup qualifier against Ukraine.
The achievement is all the more remarkable because there was talk his chances of playing at another finals were over after a thigh injury forced him out of Euro 2012.
Lampard's career at Chelsea was also written off last term as the club stalled over a new contract before some fine performances saw them relent and hand him a 12-month deal in May. The 35-year-old expects more negative reviews but told Standard Sport: "I enjoy all that stuff. I don't mind people writing me off, it comes with the territory of playing for a top club like Chelsea and for England.
"Sometimes you do read the criticism and say to yourself 'I want to prove that wrong' and that's what you have to do.
"We have these few games to qualify for the World Cup and I'd love to be involved. That means I need to keep my performances high for Chelsea and England to stay in the game.
"If I can do that I'll be delighted because World Cups only come round every four years and this will be my last one."

Weapons are ok, but rocket launcher is better than plasma even with full upgrade. At the forth stage, game is just extremely slow and not fun anymore. This plasma gun can't kill anything in reasonable amount of time, so you run about 4 minutes killing several uber-tanks.
Much to improve
Graphics : Not bad in itself, it could be a lot better.
Sound : The menu music is a bit annoying after some time, otherwise works for me.
- The last arenas are too big to make a decent combo with so few ennemies. You could add some waves of weenies to make the bigger ones worth fighting.
- The weapons are not balanced. The missile one, even fully upgraded, is not really better than the big gun and the last gun is too crappy without the uprades to pay 75000 for it. Give it more punch or lower its price. Though the prices on the hulls seem alright.
-As said by many, the game is really too easy. The last stages, as i said earlier, should be flooding with bad guys.

The Poor State of Social Acceptance
Posted Oct 03 2012 6:53pm
Recently I was looking at Music Videos on YouTube when I found some videos by Adele, a singer whom I only recently discovered sings several songs that I like. I watched the video and happened to glance through the comments. There were a couple of positive and negative ones, after all, not everyone likes the same music. Then I found the unacceptable; "she's fat", followed by a few cries of dissent then a whole lot more "trolls" repeating the mantra.
It's reading comments like this which really makes me despair for the future of the human race. We think that we're so far evolved from the haters of the 1940s but in truth we're not. We're every bit as judgemental and unaccepting as those we strive to distance ourselves from.
It didn't help that shortly afterwards, there was some kind of US political debate about an overweight politician and then our local radio station here in Sydney, Australia started having a discussion about why "fat" mothers were not acceptable parents.
It just makes me sick - and here's why....
So much of our bodies is determined by our own particular genetic heritage. You'll find that families have major similarities not only in facial components but in general body shape as well. You'll discover that twins separated at birth grow into the same sorts of people even though they live in entirely different circumstances.
You'll find thin people who eat more and exercise less than many "bigger" people so what gives them the right to be judgemental? Getting the "normal" body shape is the luck of the draw. Why do these so-called "winners" feel that they have the right to pass judgement upon the "losers"?
The Relationship to Autism
So, the real question is why am I talking about weight issues on my Aspergers Autism blog? Well, it's because there's very little difference between the two when it comes to the concept of "demonizing the genetically different".
Like "bigger" people, those with autism didn't choose to be the way they are. Many people with autism are fighting their condition, trying to pretend to be "normal" as a way of fitting in - this pretence is no different to trying "diet-after-diet" as a means of "becoming" socially acceptable. Again, similarly, there's a shark-pool of quacks, offering expensive, ineffective and dangerous treatments -- and then there's bullying and stigmatizing. There's the social pressure to conform.
Hand-in-hand with that pressure of course comes depression, torture and at its worst, suicide. Many people with weight issues go through some very dark times indeed, as do those on the spectrum when bullied. While others comment, laugh and point, they smile weakly and try to pass off the taunting which does permanent psychological damage. Friendships are damaged when "friends" turn for no apparent reason and anger often ensues. Why are we so quick to judge when a bigger person lashes out at their bullies? Why do schools place the blame on our autistic kids for doing the same?
The fact that many people who are "bigger" are that way because of genetics rather than lifestyle choices is not well understood by the general public. This is the same as misunderstanding autism as "having been dropped on your head". Muscle-brained cures for weight include suggestions to not be so lazy and to stop eating - how different is that from the suggestion that people with social difficulties simply "get over it".
There are drawbacks to the condition. Many tables and chairs in public areas are designed for "normal" people, just as our classes in school and our noisy shops are "designed" for those without sensory difficulties.
I could probably go on forever but I think I've made my point. Acceptance isn't about "tolerating" a particular subset of people because you think they deserve your sympathy.
True acceptance is the understanding that in humans, there is no such thing as "normal", there is only diversity. Everyone has things they do well and things they do badly. Everyone has feelings and everyone has the right to be treated as an equal without predjudice or judgement.
It's ok to like or dislike someone's work but if you feel that you need to make negative comments about their person, then clearly YOU have an issue with tolerance and with not knowing when to simply "shut up".
It's my hope that one day we'll throw off our human shackles and leave our 1940s selves behind but until then, at least we can all TRY to be accepting.

Grading is the most controversial component of paper money collecting today. Small differences in grade can mean significant differences in value. The process of grading is so subjective and dependant on external influences such as lighting, that even a very experienced individual may well grade the same note differently on separate occasions,
To facilitate communication between sellers and buyers, it is essential that grading terms and their meanings be standardized and as widely used as possible. This standardization should reflect common usage as much as practicable. One difficulty with grading is that even the actual grades themselves are not used every place and by everyone. For example, in Europe the grade "About Uncirculated" (AU) is not in general use, yet in North America it is widespread. The European term "GoodVF" may roughly correspond to what individuals in North America would call "EF"
The grades and definitions as set forth below cannot reconcile all the various systems and grading terminology variants. Rather, the attempt is made here to try and diminish the controversy with some common sense grades and definitions that aim to give more precise meaning to the grading language of paper money.
In order to ascertain the grade of a note, it is essential to examine it out of a holder and under a good light. Move the note around so that the light bounces off at different angles. Try holding it up obliquely so that the note is almost even with your eye as you look up at the light. Hard-to-see folds or slight creases will show up under such examination. Some individuals also lightly feel along the surface of the note to detect creasing.
Cleaning, washing or pressing paper money is generally harmful and reduces both the grade and the value of a note. At the very least, a washed or pressed note may lose its original sheen and its surface may become lifeless and dull. The defects a note had, such as folds and creases, may not necessarily be completely eliminated and their telltale marks can be detected under a good light. Carelessly washed notes may have white streaks where the folds or creases were (or still are).
Glue, tape, or pencil marks may sometimes be successfully removed. While such removal will have a cleaned surface, it will improve the overall appearance of the note without concealing any of its defects. Under such circumstances, the grade of the note may also be improved.
The words "pinholes", "staple holes", "trimmed", "writing on face", "tape marks", etc. should always be added to the description of a note. It is realized that certain countries routinely staple their notes together in groups before issue. In such cases, the description can include a comment such as "usual staple holes" or something similar. After all, not everyone knows that such-and-such a note cannot be found otherwise.
The major point of this section is that one cannot lower the overall grade of a note with defects simply because of the defects. The price will reflect the lowered worth of a defective note, but the description must always include the specific defects.
The word "Uncirculated": is used in this grading guide only as a qualitative measurement of the appearance of a note. It has nothing at all to do with whether or not an issuer has actually released the note to circulation. Thus the term "About Uncirculated" is justified and acceptable because so many notes that have never seen hand-to-hand use have been mishandled so that they are available in, at best, AU condition. Either a note is uncirculated in condition or it not; there can be no degree of uncirculated. Highlights or defects in color, centering and the like may be included in the description but the fact that a note is or is not in uncirculated condition should not be a disputable point
