Board 7 Residents Decry Plans for Houses
"Our neighborhood has been desecrated and overcrowded," Beverly McDermott, a resident of Community Board 7 and president of the Kissena Park Civic Association declared at land use hearings in Borough Hall last week. What brought McDermott and 10 other area residents to the hearings was an application by Eric Palatnik on behalf of Rushikesh Trivedi for variances from use, bulk and side yard regulations in order to build a two-family house at 147-08 48th Ave./48-05 Parsons Blvd., Flushing. McDermott and other residents claim that the corner on which the house is proposed to be built is in a neighborhood laden with community facilities—churches and schools—that make building any kind of residential structure on the lot impractical and dangerous.
Palatnik said Trivedi had originally sought to put a medical office on the site, but was prevented from doing so by a zoning change. A one-family house was then designed for the lot, but plans were once again quashed by zoning changes. Palatnik presented a plan for a two-family house to consist of two floors and a basement. A garage would be incorporated into the design, but would be used more for storage.
The area residents who attended the hearings would have none of the idea. "That's the second busiest corner in the area," resident Jim O'Donnell said. O'Donnell said the corner is "at a tipping point for safety" and other residents said that getting out of the driveway would be impossible on Sundays and difficult on weekdays. "A two-family house won't relieve the congestion—it will add to it," resident Robert Tucker said. Another resident claimed that a two-family house would strain an already overloaded infrastructure in the area.
Many of the area residents attending the hearings expressed similar views about an application by Alfonso Duarte on behalf of Bel Homes to extend the time of construction for six months to build two two-family homes in a district also zoned R2 at 143-53/55 Poplar Ave., Flushing. Duarte said the present owner of the property had started constructing the house and then been issued a stop-work order by the Department of Buildings after the area was rezoned because, the DOB maintained, the foundation had not been poured. Duarte claimed that the footings, which had been poured prior to the stop-work order, constituted the foundation. Representatives of Board 7 disputed this assertion. "The community is upset," Duarte said. "They had 40 years to change this rule and now they're taking it out on the builder."
Alexandra Rosa, who with Irving Poy, Queens director of planning and development, presided at the hearings, asked if the basements of each house would have a separate outside entrance. Duarte responded in the affirmative. "There are a lot of powder rooms for a house," Poy noted. Plans call for a powder room in each cellar and on the first floor of each house and a full bath on each second floor. Several area residents said that the presence of powder rooms on the basement level, along with outside entrances to the basement space, meant that the houses could accommodate more residents than the original plans allowed.
The major objective voiced by McDermott and other residents was that the neighborhood consists almost entirely of single-family houses and the proposed two-family houses do not fit the context of the area. "We ask that the law be upheld," Joe Amoroso said. "It's not just a question of hardship. We have a right to a better quality of life." Theresa Higgins agreed. "We want to keep the area one-family so future generations can come to Flushing and share in the beauty of the neighborhood," she said. "Every day there are complaints about illegal rebuilding," Dorothy Wah said. "We have to stop this. The builder should have complied with the zoning."
Rosa noted that Borough President Helen Marshall has taken a very active role in zoning issues throughout the borough and would continue to follow the matter closely before making recommendations as to the approval or disapproval of the applications for both projects. Community Board 7 recommended disapproval of both applications at its September and October meetings.
An application for another two-family dwelling, this one at 78-20 67th Rd., Middle Village, also came to land use hearings with a recommendation for disapproval, in this case by Community Board 5. Frederick A. Becker applied on behalf of Salvatore and Vincenza Porretto for variances from lot area and side yard regulations to construct a three-story two-family house. The variances were sought because the lot is undersized and narrow, Becker said, and if constricted as of right without the variances would be 12 feet wide with 2-foot-wide side yards. "Everything else meets the requirements for this zoning district," he said. "The lot area and the side yards are the only problems."

Taylor Swift's "Safe & Sound" isn't her only contribution to the Hunger Games soundtrack. The money-making country star continues to dole out the jams of District 12 with "Eyes Open", a power ballad that's more heavy and certainly more rock-focused than we've ever heard from Swift before. Listen to a one-minute preview of her new song below.

► Sensorimotor and associative striatum differ in learning-related neural dynamics ► The task-related patterns of activity in these regions are different ► These different regions are active simultaneously as the patterns emerge ► The associative striatum may play a permissive role in the expression of habits
The basal ganglia are implicated in a remarkable range of functions influencing emotion and cognition as well as motor behavior. Current models of basal ganglia function hypothesize that parallel limbic, associative, and motor cortico-basal ganglia loops contribute to this diverse set of functions, but little is yet known about how these loops operate and how their activities evolve during learning. To address these issues, we recorded simultaneously in sensorimotor and associative regions of the striatum as rats learned different versions of a conditional T-maze task. We found highly contrasting patterns of activity in these regions during task performance and found that these different patterns of structured activity developed concurrently, but with sharply different dynamics. Based on the region-specific dynamics of these patterns across learning, we suggest a working model whereby dorsomedial associative loops can modulate the access of dorsolateral sensorimotor loops to the control of action.

So, I've been MIA for the past few weeks, and I'm sure you all missed me. As I mentioned in my last post, I was on vacation in Asia for the past few weeks. I went to a small tropical island off the coast of the Philippines called Boracay. Getting there is def a journey because there are no direct flights, it was a 2 day journey for me. I flew from JFK to Hong Kong, then flew to Manila; spent a night in Manila (there is nothing to report about Manila, it's a poor, dirty city that's pride and joy is Manny Pacquiao and the Mall of Asia, which has the only IMAX in the country so that kind of gives you an idea of what kind of place it is. Def not a place to spend more than a night or two in). Then I flew into Caticlan, and took a small boat to the island of Boracay. Of course it was down pouring when I got there and, in fact, my flight from the day before was canceled due to the tropical storm. My first day wasn't very nice weather wise, but I wasn't going to let it ruin my day.

Most of what we know about the igloo is its iconic shape and what we've learned from childhood cartoons. However, there's something magical about the igloo. It's a paradox--a home made of ice designed to keep its dwellers warm. Hotel Kakslauttanen in Finland not only celebrates the igloo, but has created its own igloo village for visitors to stay in. Many come to see the northern lights and enjoy a beautiful relaxing stay.
This only makes the beautiful glass-ceiling igloos even more intriguing. Yes, the igloo village is also home to igloos with beautifully crafted glass tops. Those inside remain toasty and warm and enjoy a breathtaking view of the sky. Those outside are treated to the warm glow of the rows and rows of glowing little homes. From afar, the the igloos look like rows of fireflies. It's not just the northern lights that said igloo dwellers enjoy. The Hotel Kakslauttanen is located in one of the few places left where stars are visible in excellent condition. Every night is a beautiful sight for those who can afford a vacation away.

Dubois Farms
It is the first day of Fall and already we're craving apples. Not those store bought, Gristedes-esque apples, but the freshly picked treasures that are plucked by your own hands. Although we just missed peach season, there is still plenty of fruit, ripe for the picking. You have a choice of plums, tomatoes, apples, pears and pumpkins. How does it work, you ask? Easy, you get a bag and pick to your heart's content, then your pickins' are weighed (charge is per pound so be sure to get what you need- although we know how enticing it is to fill as many apple bags as possible.) That's not all there is to do at Dubois Farms. If you're with your sweetie, kiss in the dead end corners of their corn maze, check out the wagon ride around their expansive farm, or visit the bakery for delicious homemade treats (we're talking fresh from the oven) like pumpkin pie, apple pie and preserves. For the kids, bring them to "Tiny Town," a miniature, brightly colored, village, delight them with pony rides and a visit to the farm animals. With tons to do plus a barbeque each weekend until the end of the season (November), you're bound to love this family friendly farm. For more information, go to http://www.duboisfarms.com/

Home builders have a new choice for energy-efficient, durable homes as OceanSafe markets a new line of homes using its steel structural insulated panels. OceanSafe partnered with Road Home Builders to produce a line of green homes using the panels made from a sandwich of galvalume steel combined with an expanded polystyrene core. The homes will be marketed as Sunconomy Homes through a nationwide network of builders.
These state-of-the-art dwellings will include thermal and photovoltaic systems with the goal of attaining net-zero energy usage. Homes will be capable of withstanding severe weather and also offer healthy living spaces for families. Construction of the first Sunconomy Home built with OceanSafe panels is expected to begin in January 2011.
The steel structural insulated panels (SSIPs) will be used as external, load-bearing walls as well as form an integral part of the roof system to create a building envelope that OceanSafe claims is impervious to the destructive forces of nature, including hurricanes and earthquakes.
Construction with structural insulated panels typically takes less time than standard framing, saving time and construction waste. The homes will use OceanSafes' proprietary Insuladd ceramic thermal barrier coatings for insulation. To reduce use of fossil fuels, each home will feature Ontility solar thermal and PV solar systems to heat water and provide electricity.
According to OceanSafe, the steel panels offer advantages over similar panels made from wood because the steel is impervious to insects and mold that could cause air quality problems in a home.
OceanSafe will supply the "shell" for each Sunconomy Homes building, and together with Road Home Builders, will offer hands-on training classes using materials, systems and designs to educate builders and construction crews in the best methods to properly build Sunconomy Homes.
"They will learn our techniques for building these safe, energy-efficient homes and bring this know-how back to their companies across the nation," said Joseph Basilice, president of OceanSafe.
Sunconomy officials estimate the new homes "will pay people to live in them," said Larry Haines, managing partner of Road Home Builders. "By reducing utility bills and saving money on insurance rates and maintenance costs, home buyers now have a choice to make between modern, energy-efficient and healthy homes that last a lifetime and homes built to outdated, inefficient standards."
Sunconomy Homes will train builders and architects in design and construction of the homes using the steel structural insulated panels.

Hashing is using an cryptographic algorithm to convert data like a password into a fixed length sting of characters called a fingerprint.
Salting is a way to randomize hashes by adding a random string (which is called a salt) before a password is hashed, which makes it much more difficult to crack the password hash.
This page explains it more thoroughly: http://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm

Ever wonder why we save old photographs? Some people we know make fabulous scrapbooks filled with snapshots and memorabilia — ticket stubs and pressed flowers. But most of us have stacks of prints in a box, or worse, thousands of images on our computers, waiting to be sorted. We're like that, here at Spruce Point Inn, with hundreds of photos of past guests and pictures of our landscape evolving — new paint, new buildings and new gardens as they've taken shape over the years. And now we know why.
Meeting planners tell us that Spruce Point Inn provides the perfect relaxed and rejuvenating environment for hosting groups large (an association's annual event, for example) and small (a favorite for executive retreats), giving their attendees wonderful oceanside meeting memories made in Maine.
Spruce Point Inn started crafting oceanside memories made in Maine back in 1892 when the building that's now the Main Inn was a private fishing camp for rusticators who escaped their desks for a week of fine fishing and cordial entertaining with their colleagues. Today, it's a place that invites you to enjoy the same unspoiled views and sea air – and the same unhurried ease that's hard to find. Spuce Point Inn is made for families and friends -- those new to Boothbay Harbor and those who are perennial visitors to Maine's Mid-coast.
Those of you who know Spruce Point Inn Resort & Spa in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, know that as innkeepers we work hard at making this a place where oceanside memories are made. By focusing on you, our guests, and what you've told us over the past 21 years, we've built a reputation as the destination of choice for summer vacations, family reunions, weddings and other social events, business events and executive retreats. That's because in 100 years one thing has not changed – Spruce Point Inn's commitment to the best and to providing a classic coastal Maine experience.

Early planning for the region

Early planning for the region
We are beginning to plan a trip for next spring, and I would appreciate some guidance. At this point, we are totally flexible. Seeking generalities, not so much specifics.FWIW, we are late 60's.
Timing: We would spend 4-6 weeks. We are both sun-sensitive and must cover up, so it is imperative that we travel where/when it is cool, preferably not much more than 20°C.
What: We love to hike, wander, and meet the locals, especially in small towns and countryside. Any opportunity for mountain hiking would be a bonus. We're not much for museums or crowds, but we do like historical sites. No one-night stands, preferably 2-3 nights per location, or more if warranted. We prefer flexibility to a set itinerary.
Where: Anywhere between Budapest and Athens, Sarajevo and the Black Sea. We have been to Budapest Dubrovnik, Mostar and Sarajevo. We are particularly curious about Albania, Montenegro, Romania. Open-jaw would be nice, otherwise a loop of some kind.
Transport: Public transportation only. No rent cars. We have successfully negotiated public transport in many countries, including Peru and Bolivia, so feel reasonably confident. We travel ultra-light with only a day pack each.
Budget: Relatively low. Hostels, etc.
Language: We are from the US. Rudimentary German, Russian and French. More important, we have quite a lot of experience communicating through language barriers.
Thanks in advance.
It's very tough to travel off the beaten track without a smattering of the languages of those countries. I found that a few dozen of the most common words of Polish (or russian or czech or whatever) was enough for all Slavic countries. In Romania I really should have learnt a little before travelling there - Italian would have been useful too.4
I would suggest that you look at the following:Fly into Dubrovnik because the options for flights are best but head to Kotor, Montenegro. Zabljak is nice for some day hiking in Durmitor but in spring it can be cold and snowy.
Then head to Albania (look at a recent trip report from JonMW about travel in Northern Albania)
From Albania consider Prizren, Kosovo and then Tetovo, Macedonia and explore Skopje and Ohrid areas.
From there you might want to head to Thessaloniki, Greece; Plovdiv, Bulgaria and end in Istanbul or head north to Nis and Belgrade, Serbia and into Romania. Personally I would do the former and save the latter for another trip.
Take a look at the destination guides here on the TT and the guides on the inyourpocket.com website.
Regarding weather, the problem is that the areas with higher mountains will be snowy in spring. Were it me, I would look at late September October. I too am sun sensitive but have found lots of light weight sun protective clothing and hats so that I no longer mind traveling even in the heat of summer. Are you familiar with sunprecautions.com, sunadayafternoons.com and coolibar.com?
Thank you, Everbrite. That's the kind of general info I'm looking for at this stage of planning.Spring is the one set variable, though. Next fall is already dedicated. I forgot to mention that we've already spent good time in Turkey. Would it be biting off too much to go Skope-Sofia-Plovdiv-Bucharest-Brasov-and on to Budapest?
As for the sun, I wear long-sleeved sun shirt and pants, gloves, wide-brimmed hat with drape. Although the sun fabrics are very light, they don't accommodate hot flashes or hiking exertion very well when the ambient temperature is high.
I understand and agree. I was using the cities more as direction than destination.The sense I'm getting is two separate trips for this area? Romania/Bulgaria and Albania/Serbia/Kosovo/Montenegro? If so, we could do a spring trip and a fall trip (Sept-Oct), each 4-6 weeks. Assuming the fall trip would better for mountain hiking, which would be best for each season?
A seperate trip would be a good idea. 4-6 weeks for Romania and Bulgaria sounds good, you could even add Moldova to it. Can't say too much about Bulgaria, but in Romania you can spent easily 3 weeks, combing cities (Sibiu/Brasov/Cluj for example) with the small Saxon villages in between Sibiu and Brasov, mountains around Brasov, famous monasteries in Bukovina and countryside, small villages and landscapes in Maramures.The weather can vary, but i would say Romania can be too cold/wet in october (although at the moment here in Maramures it is pretty nice weather with around 18 degrees. Cools off in the night pretty fast though). Mid-april till mid-may is a great time for Romania, as is september. In the mountains it can still snow in april, but also in october...
Fall trip could be September, extending into August if weather or crowds are not a problem. (I understand the uncertainty--we were snowed out of Austria in August 2010.)Even this mild brainstorming is helping me focus. Thank you.
I've been in the mountains in Montenegro, Albania and Serbia in September and October. By mid October there is a chance of snow in the mountains, certainly it is freezing at night in places like Durmitor National Park (Zabljak, Montenegro) even when there is no snow.Hope that helps.
Hi Everyone,Can anyone advise on what area/hotel to stay at in Budapest for this New Years, for about 5 days.
Thank you
for a cheap hostel, pick one at Astoria square (city centre) or by Nyugati Train stationfor a great hotel, you can get good deals from Hotel Palazzo Zichy, or Hotel Zara, etc.
It depends on your budget and how much you want to be in the happening area, or if you want a river view (art'Hotel has reasonable prices)

We need your help! Magnablend purchased the old Superconducting Super Collider property off FM 1446 on January 27, 2012, which is in a residential and agricultural area with a large dairy farm, other agiculture, and homes adjacent to the property.
Residents were protected from a company like Magnablend operating on this property by a deed restriction that prevented businesses requiring a permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), but the Ellis County Commissioners' Court amended this deed restriction on December 12, 2011 without the knowledge of nearby residents.
We are seeking all legal avenues of putting a halt to this egregious maneuver by the County Commissioners and to prevent Magnablend from obtaining permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
We have multiple legal avenues at our disposal and need your assistance. Please review our website to become familiar with who we are, what we are faced with, the facts about the situation, and what you can do to help.

Nationwide ShippingThrough our own facilities and a large network of strategic partners, The Nelson Company serves North American customers via popular shipping points. Rackable Plastic PalletsRackable pallets are pallets that include bottom runners or picture frame bottoms, allowing for the pallets to sit safely on top of a rack. Rackable plastic pallets allow for storing the unit load above the floor, ultimately saving space. The bottom deck of a rackable pallet can consist of many different configurations. These configuration variations include:
Rackable pallets can be either two-way entry or four-way entry. Rackable pallets are usually "heavy duty" in nature due to their load capacities. Rackable pallets weigh more due to the additional structure on the under side of the pallet. As a result of this increased structure and stability, rackable plastic pallets are also stronger pallets. Stackable Plastic PalletsStackable pallets are pallets that include bottom runners or picture frame bottoms, allowing the pallets to sit safely on top of each other when the pallets are empty. Stackable pallets allow for the safe double stacking of multiple pallets with product on them during the shipping process. Since they have a consistent bottom deck, these pallets allow for a very steady platform. The bottom deck of a stackable pallet can consist of many different configurations. Like rackable pallets, These configuration variations include a 3-runner, picture frame or a picture frame with a crossbar in the center of the base and can be either two-way entry or four-way entry. Although there are many benefits for their use, it should be noted that empty stackable pallets can take up a lot of space in storage. In addition, it should be taken into consideration that the shipping process to the manufacturer for the first use or on a back haul to the shipper can result in higher costs. Since stackable pallets are generally a very durable style of pallet, they are most often considered for use in a closed loop or returnable type of environment. Nestable Plastic PalletsAn alternative to a stackable pallet is a nestable pallet. Plastics are the most common type of material used in the production of nestable pallets. Due to their compact nature, nestable pallets allow for less storage space of empty pallets as well as lower shipping costs of empty pallets.

Lumines Live still charging for other modes
And you all tried to tell me 1200 MP was going to buy the full game. It turns out that previous reports were correct; you will buy the game itself for 1200 MP and additional content packs, which contain Mission, Puzzle, and VS CPU levels and also which are not yet available for more Microsoft Points.
The story of Lumines' price is quite possibly one of the funniest Xbox news stories since Peter Moore's "living a lucid dream" speech. First, we were going to buy the 1200 MP pack and then pay for the online multiplayer. Then we weren't.
Then the news came that in addition to the 1200-point game, Puzzle, Mission, and VS CPU mode packs would cost us as well. The former two cost 400 MP, while the latter costs 300, bringing the price to 1900 Microsoft Points. For some reason the lack of the other packs on the Marketplace led us to believe that we were getting the full game for the 1200 price point, but it was not to be so: quite a few of our readers and Joystiq have played the game and found a disturbing lack of content in the other modes. In addition, although this isn't as bad in my opinion, a superfluous skin and music pack cost 600 points. This is 2500 points, which in American money is $31.50, slightly more than the PSP sequel or the PS2 enhanced port.
Well, if it's any consolation, they're not charging for the free trial.

Married Same-Sex Couples Can Legally File For Joint Bankruptcy in U.S. Court
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness ... Aw, they're broke like the rest of us.
Innit? The U.S. Justice Department last week decided to back off on its costly opposition to married same-sex couples' joint bankruptcies, using an L.A. case to set this precedent.
Last month a federal bankruptcy judge in L.A. ruled that Gene Douglas Balas and Carlos Morales could indeed file a joint bankruptcy petition, according to Reuters. After that ...
" ... Twenty of the 24 federal bankruptcy judges in Los Angeles signed onto the opinion," according to the news service.
Now the U.S. DOJ is backing away from its opposition, with Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler stating:
The Department of Justice has informed bankruptcy courts that it will no longer seek dismissal of bankruptcy petitions filed jointly by same-sex debtors who are married under state law.
So now gay couples can go underwater and throw up the white flag like the rest of us. Welcome to 2011.
You are free to be poor, America, no matter what your stripe.

The response on this fire has been nothing short of amazing in my opinion. Every fire agency in Collier County, several fire agencies from Lee County, State Forestry and law enforcement have all gone above and beyond in my opinion.
I am also thankful that there have been no injuries and not one home has been lost so far. Outstanding job to all involved!

Asked why he thought the driver have done that, Fred Butts said: "That's the question that the whole family wants to know. Why did you do it? And we don't have no answers. And it don't seem like nobody (is) trying to give us no answers. We want to know: Why did he do it?"
Fred Butts said he does not believe that the sheriff or the district attorney want to know the truth.
"They don't want to push that issue," he said, adding that he thinks they also don't want to investigate a hate crime.
"I actually believe that," he said.
Another disturbing fact CNN has uncovered in this case: Just minutes before the teens ran over Johnny Butts, two of them -- Darby and the 15-year-old -- vandalized a church, tearing it apart. Yet few questions about the possible motive for this were asked of any of the teens in any of the statements seen by CNN. There is very little asked about the victim's race, nothing asked about why they vandalized the church, and few questions asked about the description of Johnny Lee Butts. Law enforcement officials apparently have not pursued this at all in their investigation. In fact, the interrogations by Panola County Sheriff's investigators barely touch the surface of looking for a motive in the case.
There are also no questions asked about why three white teenagers from another county were driving in a rural and mostly African-American area in Panola County. And, none of the records CNN has obtained show Hope Hopper, the mother who said the crime was racially motivated, was ever even interviewed by authorities.
And there is still something else -- a disturbing incident that occurred not long after Johnny Lee Butts was killed and just around the corner: Four young African-American boys say they were walking on the shoulder of Smart Road when two white men in a white Jeep aimed straight for them, scaring them into the ditch. The boys say the men were laughing when they drove off the road, racing toward the boys, forcing them to jump way back.
Adult neighbors told CNN they watched the whole thing from their porch. The families told CNN they called the Sheriff's Office, and an officer came out and interviewed the boys and some of the adults.
CNN asked the Sheriff's Office for a copy of the incident report on what happened to these boys. Surprisingly, after repeatedly declining to be interviewed about the Butts case, Sheriff Dennis Darby -- no apparent relation to Whit Darby -- called CNN back about the report the families gave to the sheriff's deputy.
Sheriff Darby told CNN on the phone they had looked into the incident with the boys on the road and found nothing. "There's nothing to this report," he said, "it's all hearsay," and "he-said she-said." Sheriff Darby told CNN he would not give a copy of the report to the network. Then the sheriff warned CNN not to "stir up trouble in my county." He warned if the network pursued the story, "I'll be coming after you."
Whit Darby is scheduled for trial next month. Hopper and the juvenile have not been charged.
Donny Butts and his family think law enforcement officials should push harder for the truth in why his father was killed.
"If they pressured these guys, the truth would come out, but they are saying it wasn't racist," he said.
Asked if he thought his father's death was a "modern lynching," Donny Butts said: "Yes I do. What else could it have been? What they are saying is not true. I believe my daddy was lynched because of the color of his skin."

Loading... The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing Geniusby Kristine Barnett
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Jacob Barnett is a prodigy in math and science. His accomplishments at 12 years of age in physics are astounding. However, the hurdles he and his family have had to overcome in order to bring this amazing intellect to life are just as monumental. The Spark chronicles the trials and tribulations that Kris and Jacob faced from very early childhood through his pre-teen years as they work together to overcome his autism related setbacks while also developing his abilities and interests in math and science. As the story unfolds, we see that Kris is just as amazing in her strength and determination as her son. This is an amazing story. The book is well written, endearing, and engaging. Kris is so down to earth and sweet it is like having a chat with a girlfriend. Her philosophy on supporting a child's innate abilities and interests makes perfect sense. We often don't give children enough credit, they are capable of great things and Kris's memoir certainly demonstrates that. I am fascinated to see where all of the Barnett children end up, and I am inspired to be a more patient and supportive parent for having read this. Full disclosure: I have been provided a copy of the book for the purpose of providing a review; however the opinions presented are my own and not influenced or dictated by publisher or author. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Barnett's memoir of her son Jake's early life with autism is inspirational. When educators told her that her son would never learn to read because of his severe autism and they should focus on teaching him "life skills", Barnett refused to believe it was true. She'd seen her son do amazing things in his few short years of life and felt (though didn't yet know) that remarkable things were happening inside her son's mind. She persevered, taking risks by going against the established therapies of the day - allowing her son to play and indulge in the activities that appealed to him rather than enduring a litany of repetitive tasks with which he struggled.As his mother, Barnett is clearly biased in her descriptions of her son's personality and gifts, but there is no arguing that Jake Barnett is a gifted child. I look forward to hearing about great achievements in his life - maybe even a Nobel Prize someday! This is an incredible story about a mother who almost lost her boy to autism, and decided to go against the system and do what her gut told her was the right thing to break her son out of his shell. Through her fantastic imagination and creativity, she managed to reach her son and found a brilliant mathematician and physicist who finished graduate school by age 15. Although the story portrays Jake's life, it is really a story about a mother's powerful love and determination, about never giving up. As a parent, it was inspiring, and made me realize I should always let my children follow their dreams no matter how wacky they may seem to me. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. What a joy to read! The subtitle of this book is "A Mother's Story of Nurturing Genius." If the publishing company was responsible for choosing it, I'm sure they meant not only that the son is a genius, but also that the mother has extraordinary instincts and creativity which came into play.Parents reading the book would be inspired to adopt even a fraction of her ideas, for any child. Anyone - even teenagers - could adopt the family's approach to sharing their gifts with the community. Following immediately upon another book about an autistic child who never recovered, I was fearful that this author's son might show signs of improvement but eventually lose some of his gains. After reading this, I wonder if the anger and lashing out that many autistic children exhibit is a sign of a deeper phase that is inescapable. I am in the vast minority when it comes to this book. I, like the author, am a mother of two kids on the autism spectrum who are both profoundly gifted. I was excited when this book arrived in the mail. One of the reasons I didn't care for this book is that it was too much about the mother and not enough about her son. I think reading a story that was just about Jake would had been captivating. It is very impressive what he has been able to accomplish in his young life and it is going to be impressive where he goes from her. I think that the author has some great ways of helping her son, but that doesn't mean they are the only ways and everyone else is wrong. This is what the author seems to want you to think. Jake was lucky that his mother ran a day care so that he was around kids all day long. For an autistic child, this could really help. But most parents of autistic children do not have that. Some of the things made me question her ability to parent, such as the time when she had no heat and no food for her family during a winter. There are certainly aspects to this book that I liked and wished were more fleshed out, or at least written separately: One: make the story all about Jake. Two: how the author's own health issues learned to adjust to her own struggles and how they affected her family. Three: having her focus just on the "therapies" she has tried (those she came up with herself) and go into detail about them. I think that the third would be invaluable! I guess the thing that bothered me is that I should be able to relate to her because our children seem to have similar diagnosis, but I didn't. As far as I know, children with autism cannot be "cured" of it. They can learn to adapt more socially and some really surprise us with what they can do! For me, my children aren't disabled, but being on the spectrum is just part of who they are. Will they struggle in life? Yes, but everyone has their struggle in life... some are just more obvious. **I received this book from Goodreads First Reads in exchange for a review.

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812993373, Hardcover)Kristine Barnett's son Jacob has an IQ higher than Einstein's, a photographic memory, and he taught himself calculus in two weeks. At nine he started working on an original theory in astrophysics that experts believe may someday put him in line for a Nobel Prize, and at age twelve he became a paid researcher in quantum physics. But the story of Kristine's journey with Jake is all the more remarkable because his extraordinary mind was almost lost to autism. At age two, when Jake was diagnosed, Kristine was told he might never be able to tie his own shoes.The Spark is a remarkable memoir of mother and son. Surrounded by "experts" at home and in special ed who tried to focus on Jake's most basic skills and curtail his distracting interests—moving shadows on the wall, stars, plaid patterns on sofa fabric—Jake made no progress, withdrew more and more into his own world, and eventually stopped talking completely. Kristine knew in her heart that she had to make a change. Against the advice of her husband, Michael, and the developmental specialists, Kristine followed her instincts, pulled Jake out of special ed, and began preparing him for mainstream kindergarten on her own. Relying on the insights she developed at the daycare center she runs out of the garage in her home, Kristine resolved to follow Jacob's "spark"—his passionate interests. Why concentrate on what he couldn't do? Why not focus on what he could? This basic philosophy, along with her belief in the power of ordinary childhood experiences (softball, picnics, s'mores around the campfire) and the importance of play, helped Kristine overcome huge odds. The Barnetts were not wealthy people, and in addition to financial hardship, Kristine herself faced serious health issues. But through hard work and determination on behalf of Jake and his two younger brothers, as well as an undying faith in their community, friends, and family, Kristine and Michael prevailed. The results were beyond anything anyone could have imagined. Dramatic, inspiring, and transformative, The Spark is about the power of love and courage in the face of overwhelming obstacles, and the dazzling possibilities that can occur when we learn how to tap the true potential that lies within every child, and in all of us. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:46:51 -0400) The mother of an autistic child who was eventually recognized as a genius recounts her rejection of conventional advice from developmental experts and shares the strategies she utilized for tapping her son's potential. |

The roof on my house is VERY high (three stories in the front) and up many stairs, plus there are some difficult transitions on the roof line. They did a great job and were very careful not to damage my yard. Rafael, Nick, Jorge and Juan worked very hard to complete the roof ahead of schedule. I am so thankful I hired them. Brad W.
