My bilingual DD is turning 4 in February. Am I completely crazy to worry about her being able to read before she starts kindergarten in 2010? Although she is in American preschool 5 days a week, for now I feel confident that I can maintain it until she starts formal schooling. We don't speak English at home and I rarely read to her in English. However, I am worried that once she starts kindergarten and has to learn to read in English, she'll have neither time nor inclination to learn reading in Russian and her spoken language might suffer as well. However, if I get her hooked on reading before K, she'll be o.k. She knows her letters both in English (all of them) and Russian (most of them), can rhyme, and knows several (not many) words by sight. However, she seems completely not ready to read – and has no desire to. She just doesn't grasp the idea of putting those sounds together. I am definitely not going to push the issue but I am wondering if I should keep revisiting the attempts to teach her reading every couple of months or so. What was your experience with teaching your child to read? Did you teach them minority language or the community language reading first? If it was the community language first, did they resist learning to read in the minority language? TIA
Teaching bilingual children to read: which language first?
My son is 4 and 1/4 old and is learning to read in English and Spanish simultaneously. He's known his ABCs in English since he was 18 months but his interest in letters came and went until he turned 4. That's probably what's going to happen to your daughter. Don't push the issue in an obvious way, just have the materials ready and around for when she wants to use them. She might not get the concept of "reading" for a while longer but once she does she might "pounce" on the easier language to read. So, if you want her to read Russian first, make sure you have LOTS of books and materials to entice her, and read to her in Russian as much as she wants (we read in Spanish about 45-60 minutes/day and he'd love some more of it but I think that's a decent amount of time already )
My son was sounding out words in English quite accurately until 4 weeks ago, when he discovered that Spanish is easier to read. Now he's trying to read "new" American words the Spanish way! Luckily he seems to accept the fact that English and Spanish have different pronunciation for the same letters and doesn't get discouraged when I correct him.
2 years ago I would have never dreamed that my son could actually became literate in 2 languages this early on (I know, I know! He's not all the way there yet, he's only reading simple 2 syllable words!) Having him reading Spanish was just a remote hope, something he was going to, hopefully, learn later on, but my son chose to do it now and I'm happily encouraging it. Why not?
So, to me, the trick was not to push it but to pique his curiosity with interesting books and word-bingo games and never saying no when he wanted me to read or play with him the Spanish games.
Just find the approach that will work best with your daughter and give it time. Sooner or later reading in Russian will happen!
Good luck!

What was your experience with teaching your child to read? My son is five and is not really reading English yet, though he knows some words. He can read Japanese--but Japanese (hiragana and katakana) is purely phonetic so it is much easier to learn than English.
From lurking on the homeschooling board, it seems a kid can't really learn to read English until it "clicks" generally around ages five or six or so.
Did you teach them minority language or the community language reading first? I've been reading English to ds forever. However, last year his teacher was concerned because he didn't know Japanese hiragana. I thought WTF is the school teaching him? And posted my concerns here, lol. I taught him hiragana myself and he was very quick to learn it (in part because, as I said, hiragana is easier than English.)
If it was the community language first, did they resist learning to read in the minority language? He hasn't resisted at all. Bribery goes a long way with him! However, English hasn't really clicked with him yet, but I am not worried as he is only five.
It's not that you're "crazy" to worry about this but you're jumping the gun. Here in France, the children learn to read and write in the equivalent of 1st grade and not a moment before.
I was wondering myself what to do with my own kids. I talked to a friend who has her Master's in Learning Disorders. She had some interesting insights.
She totally supported the French idea of delaying teaching reading and writing skills. She said they do it too early in the U.S. The children learn to simply recognize words and don't get a good foundation of what they call "pre-reading" skills, like really knowing the alphabet and sounds. Basically, teaching tiny ones to read is a "monkey trick" and not true reading, leading to problems learning in the future, like spelling and sentence construction.
Did you teach them minority language or the community language reading first?
Neither. I let the school teach them reading and writing in French and German first. They are in a bilingual program, speaking English only at home with me.
If it was the community language first, did they resist learning to read in the minority language?
TOTAL OPPOSITE!!! Once they were reading French and German, they were keen to learn English too. They actually brought me the English language books and I basically never actually "taught" them. I was amazed. Yes, I had to explain a few things, like "oo" in pool (doesn't exisit in the other two languages) but those were easily learned. No, they probably don't read English at age level. Perhaps my 9 year old can read and write at an American child's 6 year level (my estimate).
They absord a lot and a natural curiosity sort of emerges. It happened with all three at about 5 years of age.
For the record, my older two are now doing a fourth language, Hebrew so they are learning a different alphabet. It really comes easily to them. The other children aren't used to functioning in another language but it's like changing gears for mine. Last night, my older dd actually read some Hebrew text herself and she only started in September!
Unless you have a deadline, like moving back to Russia by a certain date where she'll enter the local school, I wouldn't worry about it. Seeing how their natural learning curiousity develops was fun and I would venture to say that pushing it might turn her off to Russian in general.

Thought I'd jump in with our experience as well...
What was your experience with teaching your child to read? Leila is 6 and in first grade. She is very verbal and oriented toward language (like me). We started sounding out words together about 2 years ago, when she demonstrated some interest. I read to her and put my finger on the page, fund that she was starting to try and follow along. So, I went and got early readers in English. They started learning to read English in school this year and she's gained great ground. Technically English is the minority language, but for us it's really more the majority language.
Did you teach them minority language or the community language reading first? In school, they teach English (the minority language) first. They do them both, but put more expectation and focus on English. Arabic is much easier to read as every letter has one (and exactly one) sound, teehee. I mean, how many times can I explain to dd that it's said that way because English is silly (teehee). She understands that English is an amalgam and takes its pronounciation from the languages the words came from, but because English is silly is easier for a 6 year old to identify with. The Arabic is coming along nciely, but they don't do "sight words" in Arabic. So, she's learning the letters and sounds and we're working on reading.
If it was the community language first, did they resist learning to read in the minority language? As I said, although English is technically the minority language, it's not really. She hasn't resisted learnign to read in Arabic. But, we've adapted an school concept to work on it at home (they're not really doing as much as I would prefer at school, they just sort of expect them to read magically). At school, they're doing a bookworm (each book they read is a segment on the worm). She's really gotten ino reading English books so she can make a bookworm. So, we're doing Arabic reading stars for at home. When she reads an Arabic book (we went and bought some early readers, which are scarcer than hen's teeth in Arabic) we do a reading star. Then we can hang it on the ceiling :).
I also wanted to add that reading to your child is the best way to spark an interest. I'm sure you already knew that but I'm telling you it works magic. You can build up an interest by running your fingers along with the words.
At this early age, it's not reading in the minority language that she needs but vocabulary building. I can't emphasize this enough because with limited exposure to Russian, she's not learning as many words as a Russian child in Russia would. Once she learns to read, it's a lot more fun if she recognizes the word she's trying to learn rather than having to ask you what it means.
Early reading does not put a child ahead in school. In fact, it might hurt them if it isn't done correctly and the other children catch up very quickly. I've been told that on both sides of the Atlantic by educators. The extra time it takes to teach a 3 or 4 year old, the 5 year old will learn in half the time. My six year old is four years ahead of her age in language skills (just in French) and she didn't learn to read until last year.
Now that she can read all three languages, what irks her is not knowing what certain words mean. My son has caught up but my daughter can't read on her own in English because she is missing too many words in English, not because she can't read them.
So just keep teaching her new words from books (which usually contain different vocabulary than oridinary conversation) and the reading will follow automatically.

Sharon, you are always such a wealth of information. I totally agree about vocabulary building. That is my number one fear when ds goes off to elementary school next year, that his vocabulary won't be up to par. He has ADHD tendencies, so I'm very worried he will just zone out if he doesn't understand the teacher.
Once of the biggest challenges right now: DS will be reading one of his Japanese comics or watching Japanese tv or whatever, and see a word he doesn't know, and asks me, so I have to get the dictionary and translate it for him. I thought about buying a Japanese--Japanese picture dictionary but it costs like 30 dollars (see what I mean when I said multilingualism is expensive? J/K)
Thank you so much everybody! I am SO happy we have this site. I especially appreciate the part about vocabulary building - so true! I read to my DD in Russian every day and although she asks a lot of questions and I try to make sure she gets the story, still there are gaps. Sometimes she asks me a question out of nowhere a week later about a word's meaning from a book we read. (Then again, maybe I should stop reading her Pushkin's poetry - lots of words completely obsolete at this point) . We do read a lot of more age-appropriate books too, though.
Oh, I love this topic. I think I posted about it myself a year or two ago. We live in Spain so the kids both started formal schooling at age 3. It's preschool, but they do talk about letter sounds, etc. My 4yo has been working on the vowels so far this year-- singing songs about them, playing games, listening for the sound in words, recognizing the letter, and probably writing it By the end of 5yo class (the third year of the preschool-kindergarten program) the kids are supposed to be reading, and because Spanish is so phonetic, I think most kids are, though we had to work a lot at home with my oldest last year.
Since dh was working so hard reviewing reading in Spanish last year, I didn't try to teach him reading in English, though from the beginning I have been reading to them a lot, teaching them the alphabet, talking a lot about rhymes and sounds in words, etc.
Anyway, this year my oldest (now 6) started reading in English all on his own! I have had to help him some with the more difficult words, but he does a pretty good job, recognizing words despite things like silent e and funky spelling. Sometimes he reads with a Spanish accent (as I posted before awhile ago, but he's getting better with that) but mostly I was really surprised that he just seemed to apply the Spanish reading skills to English.
I think it helped that we have so many books and read them a lot, so most of what he was reading was familiar material (now he can read new stuff, too.)
I agree with those who have said that vocabulary is really important for reading success later on. Also, I wouldn't push at all, just talk about things naturally as you are reading, "Hey, that rhymes!" or "big blue ball.. those words all start with the same sound. Look, here's the letter 'b' at the beginning of each word." (Obviously I'm using English for examples, but you can apply it to Russian.) That way it's all in context and more motivating-- she will see the point of learning to read, so she can read her favorite stories or labels on stuff or whatever. But I agree that it's better to wait until she shows some interest or readiness before trying to do much more than that. At least in our experience, learning to read in one language builds skills that can be transferred to the other when the child is ready/interested.
Kate, Sharon, and everybody,
these posts are so reassuring to me, and the reason I love/need this board!
Lucy is only starting to learn to read in French at school (she is in CP here, the equivalent of 1st grade) and it's coming along, she is getting it at what looks to me like a reasonable pace, but so far has not had any sort of big "click". It doesn't flow yet, she sounds EVERYTHING out, even simple tiny words she just read on the previous page. It's more like she's plugging right along, going through the exercises, etc, and learning the method being taught by her teacher at school. I've seen friends of hers reading the same material and "getting" it much more easily than she does. And she gets frustrated and irritable when she repeats mistakes.....I have been very concerned about reading/homework NOT becoming a source of tears, so I try to keep it fun and light, which in all fairness it mostly is (when she is not tired). In fact she loves to read and is impatient to be master it, and is very persistent in trying (not just school books, she'll pick up anything in french and try to read it).
As for reading one day in English, I WOULD be worrying about how/when to introduce it, but thanks to you guys I know better! I do still have moments when I think, "oh cripes will she EVER get this? will it ever flow? And how on earth is she going to "transfer" her knowledge onto English seeing as it is such a struggle in French?". But I stop myself from having those thoughts because I have learned from this board to trust it will all come in time.
So thank you ALL for your posts! they are a huge support.

I just posted on the other thread that is similar, but will just add that Oliver is five and will start first grade next September (in Georgian). I worry on and off about his learning to read and write in English-- especially as we are in Georgia short-term and Georgian is pretty useless anywhere else. . . I feel like by the end of first grade, he should be at grade level in English-- especially since we don't know when we'll move back to the US, or where we'll be, so he could end up being put in an English-speaking school at any time.
Right now, even though Oliver only has English at home, I think his English vocabulary is above grade-level. On the other side of things, I worry that he will have trouble with the Georgian, since, though he sounds native in Georgian, nobody reads to him in Georgian, we don't have TV, etc., so his exposure is limited to school and playground. And there is the issue of Russian, which he is fluent in, but has limited exposure to. . .
Not sure yet what our approach will be. . . am still hoping things will just click since we read together so much at home in English.

It is very expensive to move these around. I do not believe it would be done just to move them. It looks like they are being staged (put in a specific location for a specific purpose) for some reason?

Those businesses seem to be doing well when most other industries are suffering.

Sara: That's not true. I wanted to kill Roy because that's what I do. That's who I am. I spent six years in the darkness and I looked into the eyes of the devil and I gave him my soul.
Oliver: I can help you get it back.
Sara: No. You deserve someone better. You can harness that light that's still inside of you, but I'm not that person and I never will be.

Description: Iconic images of the city from one of the masters of photography collected for the first time in a charming homage to lost New York. Here is "The City of Ambition" - the New York that inspires dreams, the Gotham of the early twentieth century, when grand skyscrapers sprouted everywhere amid columns of steam. Alfred Stieglitz-the legendary art impresario and husband of Georgia O'Keeffe-forged a paean to his native city, finding inspiration on the streets, from the harbor ferry, and in the high-rise views. In her essay, respected art historian Bonnie Yochelson places Stieglitz's work within the context of the burgeoning commercial world around him and other artists of the period. Stieglitz witnessed a key period in New York's history when the city suddenly transformed into a modern metropolis. As a child, he grew up in an upper Fifth Avenue brownstone still surrounded by empty lots and dirt roads. Naturally, he was fascinated by the monumental buildings rising around him, and you can sense his wonder in these images. Among the classic buildings he so artfully captured here are the (now demolished) Madison Square Gardens, the Flatiron, Rockefeller Center, the Waldorf Astoria, the Chrysler, and the Empire State. His images formed archetypes that would go on to shape the imagination of generations. This intimate volume makes for a beautiful souvenir of timeless New York, a city of striving and dreaming.
This hardcover book measures 10 3/10 inches by 8 2/5 inches. Published September 14, 2010.

I just started getting back into this so this is all new to me. I have two version 1.0 xboxes, one with a Matrix modchip and one with a Chameleon 1.5/1.8 modchip that I installed years ago. The Chameleon modchip had Cromwell 2.27 dev (Easybuy2000 Edition) which I just attempted to flash (took me days because im a noob lol). It did flash the Chameleon on Bank 0 with a X2 4977 Bios disc I made. All seemed good until I turned the xbox back on. I get the green/red flashing, I tried switching to a different banks but it does the same. Not sure what to do now but in the end I'm trying to get Slayer's Auto-Installer on there. There seems like all kinds of methods to get this done so I just need some suggestions on which path to take. To get where I'm at now took a bunch of reading and a few days and it just didn't work out lol. The softmod using XboxHDM seems appealing but just looking for some guidance. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Failed Bios Flash, Help Or Suggestions Please

Sounds to me like a soldier joint came loose. Check your DO. Does it boot a game disk?
Posted 06 January 2010 - 09:57 PM
The DO looked like it was connected perfectly fine, the problem started after I flashed, maybe I did something wrong with the bios disc. I did some more reading and it seems the ndure softmod is the way to go.
Posted 07 January 2010 - 08:26 PM
Maybe try hotswapping the modchips. I am not sure if that is possible with those two modchips as I have never worked with either. I dont know of any other way.
Once you install your softmod, turn on the chip to see if you can flash it with Evox. Just a thought, may not even work. Make sure you dont flash your TSOP.

Customer Reviews of Photo Studio 24" Photography Light Tent Backdrop Kit w/ Carrying Case 60Cm Cube Lighting In A Box
Great product2/27/2015
Great product, outside package slightly beat up., but everything was okay. Product was just as advertised, and I am using it for pictures of all of my many devices for insurance purposes.
Lights are not strong enough2/13/2015
I wasted an afternoon playing with my camera settings and couldn't get decent pictures. Finally I used 2 desk lamps with quartz spotlights that I'd purchased for some hihat lights and that worked. Also found this same item $20. cheaper on a couple of other sites after I took delivery. Shop around if you want one of these. I do like the enclosure,it folds compact, and the backgrounds are useful.
good buy2/11/2015
has everything needes in the package. well packed
Very useful for my photography1/22/2015
This light box is going to help me take better photos of my Ebay items.
Unbelievable kit10/14/2014
This kit really does come with everything you need to take professional looking pictures that can be uploaded to your website or Ebay. Extremely low price for all you get. And it's portable!!
good product9/22/2014
Good product,came on time.
Perfect For Website5/22/2014
Great for a small business owner to take great pics to put on website.
Great for the amateur photographer5/16/2014
This photo tent has lots of room but the lights are under powered. They don't provide a lot of diffused light through the tent. I'll be getting bigger bulbs or different lights soon. Easy to use and simple to setup.
Nice packaged photo booth!3/3/2014
I really like how everything is contained within one case! very "smart" way to carry all you need in one case. Light-stands retract, so everything fits in the pockets. So far very happy with purchase.
Worth the price2/21/2014
It's not professional grade, but it's worth the $50 price. It would be nice to have some instructions, but if you look at things for awhile, you can figure them out. I recommend it for light duty use.
overall a very useful device2/13/2014
I used to setup a framework made from PVC pipe and elbows, draped with waxed paper to construct a photo booth like this one. It worked fine, but setup and takedown took some time. I decided to just pry open the wallet and buy one that is far more convenient. Pluses are good size and nice storage (folds up into a largish flat carrying case). Minuses are the lights are not very bright. The four different background cloths (black, white, red, blue) are very handy.
Photo Studio 24 Photography Light Tent11/18/2013
Quality of the stitching around the pockets is poor. But other wise the product is OK.
Haven't had an opportunity to actually test it11/11/2013
I opened the box and everything that was promised was there, including a carrying case I had not expected. I'm eager to use it.
Photo Box11/10/2013
Includes everything need for closeup photographs of my Jewelry.
High quality, low price. Self contained studio, ju11/8/2013
Everything you need to shoot quality product photos. Even comes with the camera stands and extra bulbs for the 2 halogen lamps. For the price, a no-brainer

placenta pills
Cormac 5/23/10 ~ Farrah 8/26/11 ~ Hollis 6/26/13
I wish there was more research on them. I looked into them because I was curious, and couldn't find any articles in a scientific, peer reviewed journal about them.
I am considering it also. I think one important thing is that they are made without added ingredients that might effect, well... anything. I have heard of pills that mix it with various herbs and such, and that is the stuff i'd be more scared of.
ETA: the stuff i *am more scared of
jz, 12.30.09

Unfortunately for her, the pills did not help her PPD but she did feel more energetic after as she was healing.
That's all the info on the pills that I know of!
KSjc and Dashiel Lee born 6/19/13
im going to do it too. it is pricey but im worried about ppd with my history. maybe they will work maybe they wont but im willing to try it.
Me (27) DH (27) 06/26/2010
So I was looking into this (not for myself, but a friend who wants to do it). There's a lady in the greater Seattle area that takes your placenta, prepares it and puts it in capsule form for you. I think the cost is around $200. What I'm not on board with, is that I think they do this in a home kitchen, (while clean is likely not sterile). If she's handling all sorts of women's placentas using the same deyhydrators, prep surfaces, untensils, I'm concerend about the transmission of blood borne pathogens. I think doing it yourself would be a good option.

It was not love at first sight for Josh Schafer and his Lake Drive house.
"When we first came in here, I basically walked in and walked out, and Jen pulled me back in and said, 'No, there's something here.' "
His wife, Jennifer Schafer, looked past the overgrown vines covering the 1923 Italianate-style home and beyond the marble foyer, to see a family of five living in a house with touches that include Cyril Colnic ironwork and a pair of angels detailed above the doorway.
Josh has come to agree with her.
The Schafers, who met in graduate school at Northwestern University, moved to Milwaukee from Evanston, Ill., nearly five years ago when Jennifer took a job with G.E. Medical (she has since resigned to start her own medical market research and consulting agency).
"That's what brought us up here, but we've really fallen in love," said Josh, who commutes to a northern Chicago suburb where he runs a global business for a pharmaceutical company.
A fresher look
The changes they've made are as simple as painting the rooms in warm tones and as comprehensive as gutting the kitchen. The renovations, in tandem with many family heirlooms, make the 4,800-square-foot home comfortable and cozy. Gone is the chipped dark marble floor that greeted Josh the first day, replaced with inlaid hardwood as the bridge between the living and dining rooms. Gone are the pillars flanking the wood stairs to the second floor in favor of beige walls and clean lines brightened by sunlight streaming from a large window on the landing.
"We sold our house in Evanston in a day, and we were absolutely desperate," Jennifer said. "We loved this house from the outside, and it had good bones, but it needed so much work, so much."
Sitting in the light-filled living room, Jennifer and Josh have a story for almost everything surrounding them. One frame holds a collage of items saved by Jennifer's great-grandfather, who was in the Scottish infantry in Canada, where Jennifer lived until she was 11. Another piece frames a collection of vintage keys, salvaged from a house the family still owns in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Schafers were cleaning the 1868 house in Canada when they found keys in a rusted old coffee can that Josh was ready to throw out. Jennifer had another idea.
"We really like kind of the antique, old American type of feel, kind of a casual feeling," Jennifer said. "We like things that have a story that comes with them."
A grand piano in the corner "is not of great material value," Josh said, but it is treasured nonetheless. "It was a gift from my grandfather, who just celebrated his 90th birthday. And when we moved here, he wanted us to have it."
In fall, the couple finished off a TV room and playroom in the basement - the last of the projects that started with demolishing the kitchen, which turned out to be the biggest and most time-consuming undertaking. Turning four cramped rooms into a large, family-friendly eat-in kitchen was temporarily sidelined by the birth of the Schafers' third child.
"Part of the reason it took as long as it did was that he was born in the middle of it. For about two months, we had to throw everybody out while Jen was recuperating," Josh said.
The couple tried to stay true to the original period of the room, using an adjacent powder room as a template. They repeated the white subway tile of the half bath in the kitchen and blended white cabinetry with the more contemporary wood-tone cabinets.
The kitchen is where the family spends the most time. But don't look for the kids' artwork on the refrigerator. Instead, the colorful gels hanging in the windows flanking the kitchen table and chairs are where Campbell, 11, Morgan, 9, and Liam, 3, display their handiwork.
Another set of stairs leads to the bedrooms from the back. In each, the Schafers found oak and pine floors under seemingly miles of carpet.
In the master bedroom, a four-poster bed faces a wall of family photos and portraits. The room was designed around a piece of art done by a friend of Jennifer's parents and inspired the earth tones on the walls and bedding - a Zen atmosphere. The Schafers renovated the attached master bathroom where the old shower "looked like a space capsule," Jennifer said. They changed out a solo sink in the master bath for a double sink and added granite countertops, a vanity table against the window and a marble honeycomb tile to mimic the tile in the downstairs bathroom and in another upstairs bathroom.
The Schafers display their keepsakes like art upstairs, too. Hanging at eye level in son Liam's room is a drawing that Josh's grandmother drew of Josh when he was a boy. Leaning against the wall is a drawing by Josh's dad of a horse; the drawing won a blue ribbon at a fair in 1948.
"This house really was a labor of love. We put lots of ourselves, our energy into making it right for us," Jennifer said. "We've finally gotten it to a place where we feel sort of peaceful here - tranquil, kind of like a retreat."
Q.When you were looking for homes, what things did you have to have?
Josh: We came from an area that was very similar to this, so this just felt comfortable. We wanted to be close to the lake. We wanted to be in a community with families, and what was really important to us was to have an older home. We like homes that have some history to them. The downside to that is you have doorknobs constantly coming off in your hands every time you turn them.
Jennifer: And everything is crooked, but that's the way we like it. We call it character.
Q. How does this house differ from your former home?
Josh: The one that we moved from was very much a classic American prairie-style home.
Jennifer: The feel is very different, but we've been able to re-create it here in a way that fits our lifestyle and all of our belongings.
Q. Where do you pick up pieces?
Jennifer: Primarily estate sales, second-hand stores or garage sales. The Workroom has some really interesting items. Also, I especially like things with a link to Canada, so I look for those. The candelabra by the fireplace is from the Lakefront Festival of Arts. We try to pick up something there every year. The 19th-century painting of a Chinese family tree is from Thomasville. The owners go to an antiques market and get a lot of really unique, one-of-a kind pieces.
Q. Tell us about the heirlooms.
Josh: See that chest on the wall? I was born in Athens, Greece. My dad was in the Air Force, and I was born there. That was a chest that my grandparents bought when they came to visit, and we've since gotten it.
Jennifer: We're both very tied to our history. We're very respectful of that. We want to be able to pass things on to our children.
Q. Who did the painting?
Josh: I did a lot of painting. In fact, I painted my way through college. I also wired a lot of the light fixtures.
Jennifer: There were some sparks.

Disability Hate Crimes: Does Anyone Really Hate Disabled People?
Stevens, Bethany, Journal of Psychiatry & Law
Disability Hate Crimes: Does Anyone Really Hate Disabled People?, by Mark Sherry (Surrey, UK: Ashgate, 2010), 160pp., $59.95.
Mark Sherry's book Disability Hate Crimes: Does Anyone Really Hate Disabied People? is the first of its kind to deeply analyze the hate crimes against disabled people. Despite the reality that the majority of news featuring disabled people often involves acts of violence exacted upon disabled people, crimes against disabled people are often not deemed criminal or classified as issues of abuse or maltreatment. Sherry goes against this oppressive trend by working to reframe the understanding of violence against disabled people through acknowledging dimensions of disability hatred.
Sherry offers a painstaking review of hate crime data from the United States and the United Kingdom to illuminate the global nature of this problem. He spent 10 years of his life working on this book and it shows. It is rich in factual accounts of hate crimes using primary sources garnered through court cases and the Freedom of Information Act, as well as interviews with judicial and police officials. He compiles stories of these egregious crimes in a way that makes the book a very difficult read because the details of the crimes are so disturbingly gory.
But this book marks a timely analysis of a persistent problem that is finally getting recognition in different nations around the world. In 2009, disability became a protected category in the United States through the passing of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Similarly, Scotland, Wales and England have recently added disability as a protected class to existing hate crimes legislation. These legislative acts signal awareness of the widespread nature of this problem, as well as trigger efforts to accurately quantify the occurrences of disability hate crimes.
The purpose of Sherry's book is to paint a picture of the unique elements of disability hate crimes through vivid accounts of hate crimes and rigorous analysis of statistics documenting these crimes in the United States and the United Kingdom. In doing so, Sherry adds a significant contribution to the fields of disability studies, sociology, and legal studies. In his introduction Sherry describes these crimes in detail to make clear the unique elements of disability hate crimes. He explains that disability hate crimes require two elements to be satisfied: "first it must be a criminal act [e.g. theft or arson]; and second it must be motivated in whole or in part by the victim's perceived disability status" (p. 18). To demonstrate how disability status motivates crime, researchers must gather unique evidentiary support, such as the theft or destruction of disability assistive devices (p. 7), repeated victimization (p. 8), the verbal reference to impairment during the commission of the crimes (p. 9.), and/or the presence of multiple perpetrators attacking a single victim (p. 19).
Strikingly, the majority of the hate speech deployed during the commission of these crimes references historically medicalized labels of disabled people (p. 34), and much of the hate discourse reeks of eugenic philosophy. The intensity of vestiges of eugenics in disability hate is taken up at length in Chapter 2, where Sherry analyzes numerous disability hate Websites. His use of large block quotes of the hate speech material proves to be a challenging affective experience for the reader. Many of the hate sites claim disabled people would be better off dead - advocating for infanticide, abortion, and homicide (p. 36). Additionally, these sites repeatedly claim that disabled people economically drain governments and therefore represent an unpatriotic group of people who should be separated from the worthy people (p. 35). As the threads of hate speech show, the contours of disability hate crimes are ideologically reliant on the medical model of disability - i.e. the disabled body is the problem, not society. …

Press release from CNW Group
Exchange Income Corporation Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2012
Tuesday, May 08, 2012
Exchange Income Corporation Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 201210:03 EDT Tuesday, May 08, 2012- Revenue grows 87% to $147 million; EBITDA increases 15% to $14.1 million -WINNIPEG, May 8, 2012 /CNW/ - Exchange Income Corporation (TSX: EIF) ("Corporation" or "Exchange"), a diversified, acquisition-oriented company focused on the transportation and industrial manufacturing sectors, reported its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. All amounts are in Canadian currency."Our first quarter results, which saw revenue growth of 87% to $147 million, EBITDA gains of 15% and record performance by our Manufacturing segment, are clear signs of the strength of our diversified business model, commitment to acquisitions and readiness to invest in future growth opportunities," said Mr. Mike Pyle, President and CEO of Exchange Income Corporation."Consistent with expectations, our first quarter, which traditionally is our weakest due to seasonality factors, was impacted by a number growth investment expenses earmarked chiefly for our Calm Air and WesTower subsidiaries, and higher interest charges for previous financing activities. This short-term drag on performance was partially offset by the contributions of Custom Helicopters, which was acquired in Q1, and the strong performance of our Manufacturing segment, which is benefitting from strong demand for all of its business lines," Mr. Pyle also said.Q1 2012 HighlightsConsolidated revenue increased 87% to $146.7 million.EBITDA grew 15% to $14.1 millionAdjusted net income was $1.6 million or $0.09 per share.Free cash flow increased 6% to $11.2 millionThe Manufacturing segment generated record revenue of $80.9 million.Closed a bought deal financing for gross proceeds of $57.5 million. The proceeds have been used to pay down the Company's long-term debt.Completed the acquisition of Custom Helicopters, a provider of helicopter-based aviation services in Manitoba and Nunavut, for $28.3 million."We invested $8.3 million in growth capital expenditures in Q1 to position the company for long-term growth opportunities," said Adam Terwin, Chief Financial Officer of Exchange. "A majority of these investments, or nearly $7.7 million, were allocated towards new aircraft and infrastructure at the James Richardson International Airport in Winnipeg. Additional investment costs of nearly $0.4 million were earmarked towards WesTower to support its requirements to service the AT&T Mobility contract. Over time, we expect these investments will result in higher revenue, EBITDA and cash flow performance as well as improved operating efficiencies."Q1 2012 Results Selected Financial HighlightsAll amounts in thousands except % and share dataQ1 2012Q1 2011% ChangeRevenue$146,879$78,522+87%EBITDA1$14,061$12,214+15%Net Earnings$910$2,040-55%Adjusted Net Earnings2$1,567$3,161-50%Earnings per Share3$0.05$0.13-62%Adjusted Earnings per Share$0.09$0.20-55%Dividends declared$7,553$6,119+23%Consolidated revenue for Q1 2012 was $146.7 million, up 87% from $78.5 million for the corresponding period of 2011. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to the addition of WesTower to the Company's operating subsidiaries, which was completed in April of 2011. Revenue growth was also due to the strong performance of Exchange's pre-existing Manufacturing segment companies, particularly Stainless Fabrication.Exchange generates revenue from its Aviation and Manufacturing segments, each of which is comprised of subsidiaries operating in niche markets and generating defensible cash flow. On a segmented basis, the Aviation segment generated revenue in Q1 2012 of $66.0 million, or 44.9% of the consolidated total. This compares to $62.0 million, or 78.9% of the consolidated total, for Q1 2011. The Aviation segment's year-over-year revenue growth of 6% was largely due to the acquisition of Custom Helicopters, which contributed $2.5 million of revenue in the two months since it was acquired on February 1, 2012, and the steady performance of pre-existing Aviation segment companies.The Manufacturing segment generated record revenue in Q1 2012 of $80.9 million, up 389% from $16.6 million for Q1 2011. The growth was largely due to the acquisition of WesTower and the recovery of the manufacturing sector, particularly in Alberta. In Q1 2012, the Manufacturing segment contributed 55.1% of the Company's consolidated revenue total. This compares to 21.1% for Q1 2011. The percentage change is consistent with the Company's strategy to have a more balanced and diversified revenue stream.Consolidated EBITDA for Q1 2012 was $14.1 million, up 15% from $12.2 million for Q1 2011. The growth was due to the acquisition of WesTower and the significant growth of the Company's pre-existing Manufacturing segment companies, which generated their highest ever EBITDA contributions.On a segmented basis, Exchange's Aviation segment generated EBITDA of $8.6 million for Q1 2012, down from $10.9 million for the same period of 2011. EBITDA margins for the Aviation segment in Q1, which traditionally is the Company's weakest due to seasonality factors, were impacted by a number of factors. Among these included aircraft wet lease expenses for Calm Air needed to serve new contracts, training costs due to the introduction of new equipment, higher landing fees at select airports, rising fuel costs that were not offset by customer surcharges and increased competition within eastern Canadian markets served by Bearskin. The EBITDA decline was partially offset by the addition of Custom Helicopters, which contributed EBITDA of $0.9 million. Exchange anticipates that EBITDA margins will improve throughout the balance of the year as demand for its aviation services grows and the positive impact of Calm Air operating its own jet service take effect.The Manufacturing segment generated EBITDA of $7.1 million for Q1 2012, up 137% from $3 million for Q1 2011. The growth is due to the addition of WesTower, including the initial results of its service contract with AT&T Mobility, and the 46% growth in EBITDA from EIC's pre-existing manufacturing entities. The Manufacturing segment's EBITDA margins were also positively impacted by the strong performance of pre-existing companies and an increased order backlog, particularly with Stainless Fabrication.Exchange reported net earnings for Q1 2012 of $0.9 million or $0.05 per share basic and diluted. In Q1 2011, Exchange reported net earnings of $2 million or $0.13 per share basic and diluted. The decline in net earnings was attributable to a number of factors, including equipment leasing charges expensed by Calm Air for aircraft needed to service customer contracts, higher fuel charges that were not offset by corresponding customer surcharges, increased competition within the eastern Canada markets served by Bearskin, and higher interest charges stemming from previous financing activities.Net earnings per share in Q1 2012 were impacted by an increase of 27% in the number of shares outstanding to 20,216,367 on a year over year basis. The growth was due to an increase in the conversion of debentures by investors and issuance of shares to support acquisition and financing activities.Excluding net intangible amortization and acquisition costs of $0.7 million expensed as a result of IFRS, the Company had adjusted net income of $1.6 million or $0.09 per share. These compare to $3.2 million and $0.20 per share for the corresponding period of 2011.As at March 31, 2012, the Company had a net cash position of $5.9 million and net working capital of $66.6 million, which represents a current ratio of 1.7 to 1. These compare to a net cash position of $11.5 million and net working capital of $67.3 million, or a ratio of 1.8 to 1, at December 31, 2011.Selected Key Performance IndicatorsAll amounts in thousands except % and share dataQ1 2012Q1 2011% ChangeFree Cash Flow4$11,167$10,515+6%Free Cash Flow per share$0.61$0.68-10%Total Maintenance Capex$7,301$6,671+9%Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex$3,866$3,844+1%Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex per share$0.21$0.25-16%Dividends/Distributions Declared$7,553$6,119+23%Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex Payout Ratio193%156% Given its operations and commitment to stable dividend payments to shareholders, Exchange currently uses a number of key performance indicators, most notably Free Cash Flow, to evaluate its progress and assess its ability to sustain its dividend policy. With the adoption of IFRS, Exchange is no longer utilizing Distributable Cash, a metric used as a performance indicator from the time when the Corporation operated as an income trust. Exchange will use Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex as performance indicators. Under IFRS, the calculation of Distributable Cash and Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex are very similar and presenting both would be a duplication of the same metric. Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex has been chosen over the Distributable Cash because this metric can tie directly into Exchange's consolidated financial statements.Free Cash Flow for Q1 2012 totaled $11.2 million, up 6% from $10.5 million for Q1 2011. Free Cash Flow on a per share basis in Q1 2012 was $0.61. This compares to $0.68 per basic share for Q1 2011. The growth in Free Cash Flow was due to the acquisitions of WesTower and Custom Helicopters, as well as to the organic EBITDA growth of the Company's existing Manufacturing segment companies. Free Cash Flow gains were offset by a decrease within pre-existing Aviation segment companies. The decline in Free Cash Flow on a per share basis was due to an increase in the number of shares outstanding stemming from financing and acquisition-related activities.Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex was $3.9 million, or $0.21 per share, for Q1 2012. This compares to $3.8 million, or $0.25 per share, for Q1 2011. Maintenance Capex grew primarily as a result of the additions of WesTower and Custom Helicopters.Outlook"We are very bullish on our long-term prospects given the significant efforts we have made to strengthen our balance sheet and prepare our pre-existing companies for organic growth opportunities," added Mr. Pyle. "Most notably, WesTower and Calm Air continue to ramp up efforts related to their recent customer wins, the addition of Custom Helicopters provides us an opportunity to enter new markets while leveraging our medical transportation experience, and the recovery of the manufacturing sector is resulting in new customer demand. Combined with the $210 million of available capital to deploy for acquisition targets and organic expansion opportunities, we believe that Exchange is in a strong position to continue its growth."The Company's complete financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 will be made available at www.exchangeincomecorp.ca or at www.sedar.com after the Company's Annual General Meeting.Conference Call NoticeExchange will hold a conference call to discuss its 2012 first quarter financial results on Wednesday, May 9 at 10:00 am ET.

What Would Abe Do?
by Paul Burka
Wed February 13, 2008 12:51 am
Nine minutes are left in Abraham Lincoln's birthday. I wonder what the Republican party's greatest president would have to say if he were around today to see the conservatives in his party – I'm sure he would regard them as radicals, a word in vogue in his day – try to destroy the GOP's nominee for president. Lincoln believed in diversity of thought. His inner circle was comprised of a group of men who were antagonistic toward each other, but whose reciprocal tensions produced greatness and wisdom with Lincoln as their leader. Lincoln was a big-tent president. He even wanted the Confederates back in the tent. Modern-day Republicans would do well to remember his injunction: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The rubble awaits.

Beautiful to Behold
Me: fun, smart, caring, creative, sweet, happy and have plenty of room for something real, loving and meaningful. I live downtown and am looking to meet someone in the city or within the tri-state area. I grew up in Bergen County, NJ (northern NJ) and it's nice going home for a quick visit. I'm one of four and enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I know you will like them too! I work in marketing and advertising for real estate investment banks and construction law firms. There's always something being built in the city and it's cool to be involved in it all. Weekends: Winter - I love the snow and actually don't mind the cold most of the time. Summer- I love the beach (I'm a total fish!) and anything that involves salt/lake water, swimming, paddle boarding, tanning, kayaking, tennis etc and I'm in! But, I have to admit, I am a "girly girl" and love to look good while doing all of the above! :) In the fall I like to hike, enjoy the foliage, winesap apples, red wine, watching college football, cooking a huge Thanksgiving dinner, the first fire of the season and pumpkin pies! You: sincere, smart, funny, active, handsome and looking for a loving, long-term relationship. YOU AND I: Never-ending chemistry, best friends that can't keep their hands off each other, happy-go-lucky, great kissers and not scared of falling hard for each other.
