So... Your Child has Aspergers - Part 2
8 comments:
- Clarissa said...
My parents only discovered that I have Asperger's a couple of months ago when I told them. When I was growing up, nobody knew anything about autism, so nobody could figure out that I had it. All everybody knew was that I was "weird." My mother always felt intensely ashamed of my "weirdness" and kept punishing me for every manifestation of it. As a result, childhood was an extremely miserable time for me.
When I read your post, however, I felt very glad that my parents never knew about Asperger's and it never occurred to them to try out all this advice on me. What you describe is hell on wheels for an Aspie child. Honestly, I'd even prefer my mother's abuse to the horror you describe. An Aspie child, who simply wants to be left alone to pursue her special interests, should be dragged from one activity to another, one team to another, one therapy to another. I'm getting a panic attack just thinking about it.
Autism is often a way that a child uses to escape from an intolerable home environment into a world of her own. Parents who are so blind to the needs of their children that they would put an Aspie on a sports team or into any kind of a group activity will only end up aggravating the autistic characteristics of their child. - May 24, 2010 at 3:35 AM

I have been wondering at what point to talk to my son about his diagnosis. I am so determined to not allow the diagnosis to be an excuse for bad behavior. It makes me more understanding of certain behaviors, but does not excuse direct defiance or unacceptable social mistakes. How do you recommend having the "talk?"
Jakob's low muscle tone manifests itself in fine motor skills. But as he gets older and moves up to more difficult leagues in baseball I am noticing that he is struggling more with gross motor skills than the other boys. He has always been advanced in gross motor skills until now. - May 24, 2010 at 5:27 AM

I know that it probably sounds like "hell on wheels" but it's not. I didn't say that an aspie child should do all those activities.
It's true that an aspie child should do speech therapy and occupational therapy but those usually are done during class time (the child is usually taken out of class to do them).
I didn't suggest that the child should do a whole bunch of activities (one will do). I do believe that they need to do something in order to develop a "backup" group of friends.
You might find that your responses are coloured by the way you were treated as a child. I'm advocating that parents NOT be ashamed of "weirdness" and that they accept their child for who and what they are.
It's true that left to their own devices, aspie children will retreat inwards and focus only on their special interests. (though not all aspies have "special interests").
Allowing your child to retreat entirely isn't a good option either. Balance is the best way forward with both light group time and alone/recharge time.
Exercising the social aspects without pushing the child too hard can help them overcome many obstacles. - May 24, 2010 at 7:19 AM

I think the whole issue of engaging an autistic child or adult in social activities is highly individual. Some people simply do better as solitary folks with a few friends and can't tolerate even a scouting group. Growing up, I tended to take part in musical activities, mainly because they delighted my senses without really forcing me to socialize as the first order of business!
I also wonder whether there aren't some serious gender issues at work here. In general, girls tend to be better observers of social situations and present very differently from boys; in Attwood's words, we become "little philosophers" of life rather than "little professors" caught up in the details of our special interests. So it may be that boys need this structured socialization more than girls do. Of course, this is only a generalization and there is plenty of room for variation. - May 25, 2010 at 8:35 PM

Clarissa, I think Gavin's post may be reading like an overwhelming amount of intervention because he's covered a lot of ground all in one short post. But in reality, it's not an overwhelming amount. I can attest to this because we do speech therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, naturopathy (supplements - which by the way are working WONDERS and I am a major SKEPTIC by nature), and a social skills group.
That sounds like I am an AWFUL parent. It sounds like I am dead set against Autism and I'm on a warpath to wipe it out of my son.
But I think Gavin can tell you, I am quite the opposite. I respect Autism. I appreciate it. I get that it's an integral aspect of who my son is, and I love EVERY aspect of him. I just recently commented on another blog in which a mom shared how she would reverse her daughter's autism if given the chance, and I shared my view - that I would not.
I don't provide these therapies for Simon because I want him to change, or become more NT. I arrange these therapies because they alleviate some of the most challenging elements of his Autism - the parts that make him LESS able to be himself.
The parts that cause him physical pain and discomfort (OT), the parts that make him angry and upset when he cannot communicate what he wants to (Speech Therapy), a long-shot chance that his neurological system needs to be realigned to free up some of his body's natural energy (chiro - verdict is still out on that one), supplements he is unaware of hidden in his food and drink which give him optimal health (naturopathy), and a fun, short, class with other boys who share some of his passions and who all learn gently how to accommodate each other's perspectives (social skills group). Each of these is once a week, except for OT which I now do at home for him, and chiro (which will be going down to once a week shortly and in any case is 5 minutes for each visit).
Simon is not overwhelmed with therapies, despite how it looks on paper. His week goes like this: Monday - social skills group which we refer to as "kids chat group"; Tuesday - swimming lessons (because every child should know how to swim from a safety standpoint, let alone the fun factor and the sensory input he gets); Wednesday - a 5 minute chiro appt on the way to Speech Therapy (which he enjoys); Thursday - free; Friday - free; Saturday - free; Sunday - church, but free the rest of the day :)
So you can see that despite how bad it looks at first, his week is actually full of way more free time than most NT kids I know, who have hours and hours and hours of sports and extra-curricular committments. We have so far only had one time conflict, which is that Karate was on Mondays, but it's the only time kids chat group runs, so for now we're doing kids chat group, but we will be going back to karate because Simon was HUGELY SUCCESSFUL in that class and feeling like he is competent, confident, and comfortable is EXACTLY what my goals for him are.
Anyhow, I just wanted to share my experience :) - May 26, 2010 at 3:02 PM

Foursons have you read The Everything Guide to Parenting a Child with Aspergers by William Stillman? He takes a very balanced view of the issue of behaviours, how to gently guide your child to ensure inappropriate ones are left behind without making your child feel badly for being different, or having unrealistic expectations.
William agreed to an interview for my blog, and I found his answers incredibly insightful. The interview will be up in the coming weeks.

Memphis chosen as a "Green Lane" city, milestone for our livability effort | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Last week was a milestone for Memphis livability as our city was one of six cities picked by the Bikes Belong Foundation for its Green Lane Project, an effort to fast-track physically protected bikeway designs.
The six cities were chosen from a pool of 42 city applications.
According to a survey released by The Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, 81 percent of the region's residents own a bicycle.
Only half of those bike owners used them on a daily to weekly basis, surely with more and improved bike lanes - the number of avid cyclists will increase.
Another city that was chosen was Portland, Orgeon, a city that is already a cycling giant as far as city planning goes with 324 miles of bikeways.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton promised 55-miles of bike lanes by July 2012 after bicycle enthusiasts rallied outside city hall for transit reform in the summer 2010. The rally was prompted by a Federally funded street repaving project in which city engineers failed to put bike lanes into the original design plans.
Wharton agrees bike facilities are important to the city and are imperative to its long-term economic prosperity.
Sarah Newstok, program director for Livable Memphis - an organization that promotes productive living - has said before that bike lanes are economically efficient because when people are walking or biking by a store front they absorb more commercial appeal than when driving a car past.
According to Bikes Belong's website, Green Lanes are dedicated, inviting spaces for people on bikes in the roadway. They are protected from motor vehicles by curbs, planters, posts, or parked cars.
Also called cycle tracks or protected bikeways, the lanes are carefully engineered with rigorous attention to safety, efficiency, and ease of travel for all street users. The Green Lane Project will provide resources and technical assistance to help the six focus cities accomplish their goals of creating this type of protected space for people on bikes.
Details will be released at a national kickoff in late May in Chicago. The Green Lane website, greenlaneproject.org, will act as a hub where all U.S. cities working to install these types of facilities can share and learn from each other.
Kyle Wagenschutz believes Memphis has an advantage installing bicycle lanes decades after the cities that were pioneers; now the city can learn from earlier designs and engineering flaws which could make development easier.
And after a few years, Memphis could have some the most efficient bike facilities in the U.S.

says Beck. Because Schoo was dialing in the sounds, Bono and the Edge were able focus more on playing than each applicant's tone.
Butler went through the sameaudition process and scored thegig despite never having playedBroadway before. "I was sentsome songs to learn, includingthe U2 hit 'Vertigo,' but whenwe got there they played usdifferent versions of the samesongs, which made it tricky."The third guitarist to jointhe Spider-Man guitar army wasZane Carney, who landed thegig through a more traditionalroute: His brother Reeve—whofronts the originals band thatZane plays guitar in (calledsimply Carney)—had landedthe lead role, and he suggestedZane be brought aboard, too.Pretty soon, their whole bandgot in on the action. "A fewmonths later whilewe were on tour,they asked us tocome to New Yorkto see if we couldread music andbe versatileenough,"says Zane.
Spider-Man's officialopening was delayed sev-eral times before finallyopening in June 2011, butnow that the crew has morethan 500 performances inthe can, trying to keep thesame intensity day afterday can be a struggle.As a rule, Broadwaymusicians areallowed tosub up to
50 percentof their shows, and the sameapplies for Spider-Man. "Thehardest thing is to play withthe same amount of vigor aswhen we started," says Beck."Thankfully, each player isallowed to have subs," Beck says,"so we can take off if we everfeel the need to have a break,do another gig, or even tour."Carney adds, "Gettingthrough the 80-plus-hourworkweeks for six months whilestaying professional and bring-ing 100 percent every day withlegends like Bono and Edgepresent was a really great way tolearn how to dig even deeper."For Butler, digging deepermeans learning how to relax,focus on the music, and remindhimself that live art always hasits good and bad moments. "It'svery easy to do things to keepyour mind occupied [betweennumbers]—read, play chess,check out vintage guitars oneBay—but if you get distractedand miss an entrance or some-thing, that snaps you right backto sharp focus. I try to just gointo a Zen mode and rememberthat no two shows are the sameand just watch the conductorand play."Despite the convenience ofthe aforementioned schedulingflexibility, it goes both ways."Spider-Man has been throughso many changes before finallyopening," Beck says. "There'vebeen different musicians in theband at different times … theband was onstage at one point,then not, then on again—andfinally not. The list goes onand on, and the easier you canroll with the punches, the lessstressed you'll be."As for the music itself,Butler says many people aresurprised by how little itresembles what they're usedto hearing from Bono and theEdge. "It's much more variedthan U2." Beck says he playsparts more than he does riffs,which allows more of the sig-nature Edge sound to comethrough. "I feel like my partsare more vibe-y and ethereal—you might not notice them inthe mix of everything but you'dfeel something was missing ifthey were gone. I do a lot ofEBow, a lot of swell-y, shim-mering sounds. And, of course,a nice dose of the dotted-eighth-note delay thing."

History of Monogram's GM Pickups
Posted 28 March 2012 - 01:37 PM
As far as the trim level the kit represents, I'm going say it's most likely a Scottsdale, since it is packaged as a Sport truck. That package wasn't available on the Custom Deluxe or Cheyenne, and since the Pickup is a '76 (grille gives it away) it can't be a Silverado ('78).
Another thing that's odd obout the Monogram GM trucks is that they're all column shift 3 speed manuals. Most V8 GM 4x4s from that period were automatics with the NP203 Full Time transfer case (not available with 6 cylinder or manual transmission). That's one place where the MPC got it right.
Side note on that, GM did produce a manual transmission full time 4x4 pickup for 1 year, 1974. Almost always paired up with the SM465 4 speed. from what I understand, lots of chain breakage issues.

Here's a few brochure pix showing some of the different bumpers used on the '73-'87 Stepsides.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 05:34 AM
Also, did the Stepsides and Fendersides ever come with a box-specific, narrower rear bumper, or did they all use the Fleetside/Wideside rear bumper?
In the kits, the stepside comes with the same wide bumper as the fleetside bed.

Fellas, all the gmc/chevy 848 style kits(in autoglass terms, dw848 is w/s# for 73-87 gm trucks lol) can't hold-up to the best 1 I remember....MPC?AMT? can't remember but... the fall guy longbed with full lift kit, nice wheels/tires is the 1 I love and wish to find. as per the gmc/chevy differances, its only the grill, and accessories. ty
AMT/RC2 reissued that kit a few years ago,but not as the "Fall Guy" truck. You can find them occasionally on ebay and vendor's sites. The kit actually has a short bed when it should be a long bed. The tires are about the right size,but the wheels are way too big at a scale twenty inches. It's still a way better kit than the Monogram offerings.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 02:32 PM
Personally, I would love to see Round 2 reissue those kits in their original form, without the Fall Guy lift and oversized wheels.

All the Monogram GM trucks, including the Blazer/Jimmy, have the same differentials front and rear. The rear is incorrect for a 1/2 ton, and does resemble a 14 bolt more than the correct 12 bolt.
Does anyone have close up pics of the front and rear rearend assemblies on these kits?

Eclipse Rockets
- ‹ Previous program
- 286 of 2172
- Next program ›
In ancient China, people shot rockets at the sky during solar eclipses to scare off the "dragon" they thought was swallowing the Sun. And 50 years ago today, a U.S. Navy ship appeared to be doing the same thing. It fired five big rockets at the sky during an eclipse. It wasn't trying to scare off dragons, though. Instead, the rockets carried instruments to study the Sun's X-rays -- a form of energy that had never been studied during an eclipse because X-rays can't penetrate Earth's atmosphere.
The USS Point Defiance first dropped a team of astronomers to watch the eclipse from Puka Puka Island in the South Pacific. A few weeks later, the rest of the team headed out to sea. As the eclipse began on October 12th, 1958, the Point Defiance launched five rockets. A sixth rocket -- nicknamed "Miss Fire" -- misfired.
The rockets carried X-ray telescopes high above the atmosphere. They recorded changes in the X-ray brightness as the Moon slowly covered the Sun. They showed that most of the Sun's X-rays come from sunspots.
As the Sun disappeared behind the Moon, an X-ray glow surrounded the Moon. The glow came from the corona -- the Sun's faint outer atmosphere. The observations showed that the corona is far hotter than the Sun's surface.
Miss Fire was launched the next day. As luck would have it, a solar flare was erupting -- a brilliant source of X-rays. So the rockets scared up a lot of new information about the Sun.

Home > GPS Home > International Programs > Master of Business Administration > Spain
Endicott and its partner, the College for International Studies, invite you to consider a U.S.-accredited MBA program offered in Madrid, Spain. The MBA program includes full-time internships and is designed for early career professionals. It can be completed in about 16 months.
The program employs a collaborative, applied concepts approach to learning regardless of the program delivery. Each course has a strong ethics component, real-time skills, and projects relevant to students' professions. Part time afternoon/evening classes are offered twice a week in small groups of no more than 20 students.
Faculty who have extensive experience in business and management infuse the classroom with dynamic, hands-on approach to real world problem solving. The global environment, the technological environment, and the ethical dimensions of managerial decisions pervade the MBA program.
The MBA program seeks to:
Upon completion of the program students will:
Throughout the entire program, MBA students work collaboratively in an assigned group within each course. These courses require the convening of each group for additional hours each week beyond the time spent in class. The purpose of these ongoing group meetings is to continue the exploration of the conceptual material discussed in class, prepare specific assignments and readings for the upcoming sessions, and to work on semester-long projects. Student commitment to these group processes is fundamental to the success of the program, the success of the groups, and the success of the cohort in general.
The philosophy of the program is that traditional "tests:" are less relevant to MBA studies. In this program the use of projects, case studies, examples, and illustrations are the most effective way to examine the material and to learn. All of the courses in the curriculum employ some combination of the following assignments:
Students progress through 15, three-credit courses. Each course runs for an eight week session. The in-class courses meet for three hours, twice each week.

Ideas for Setting a Memorable and Beautiful Dinner Table
Filed under: Dining
Go with a monochromatic color theme Decorating the table in nothing but luxe shades of one classic color theme like all in whites, silvers, or shades of gold can add an impressive visual impact to the meal. To keep everything from blending together choose elements that have different hues, textures, and patterns for lots of visual appeal within the single color family. Don't be afraid to mix matte pieces with glittered or sparkling ones.
Choose a theme Themes are always a fun and interesting way to decorate almost anything, and dinner tables are no exception. Holidays lend themselves especially well to themes (i.e. use personalized Christmas ornaments in place of name cards) but other themes like winter (everything in smooth white and glittering crystal), contemporary chic (minimalistic, simple, and clean with lots of geometric shapes), or just mix and match whatever you think looks good together and call it eclectic.
Focus on one spectacular piece If you have one amazing or particularly impressive item, like a centerpiece or set of glassware, then decorate the rest of your table in a way that complements and draws the eye back to it. The approach will vary depending on what your highlighting but in general the focus piece should contrast with the rest of the table either in color, texture, or pattern, and everything else should somewhat match each other.

Contemporary Classics
Written by Sally on 11/13/2010Mark Twain called a classic "a book which people praise and don't read," but that certainly isn't the case with many contemporary classics. They are well-written, in modern English and are approachable for today's high school students. Great Books for High School Kids: A Teacher's Guide to Books That Can Change Teens' Lives provides a wonderful introduction to what makes a book a classic, and while subjective by any measure, the list of over 400 fiction, non-fiction and poetry titles is a wonderful place to start.
In the meantime, check out some of our favorite contemporary classics, featured on the list below. New copies of each book are located in the Classics Room, and many of them are also available in large print and audiobook, as well as part of our Books in a Bag program for reading groups.

-- out just about a month from the election revealing some possible problems for the Republican Party let's bring them back -- -- put a packet elbow action on.
Let's put this up on the screen.
-- It's a popularity contrast if you will positives and negatives.
And at the very bottom here on our chart -- that the top with the worst ratings the Republican.
The brand has been hurt during the election and it's been hurt.
Bentley Gregg and the reason for that -- there is not a positive message.
The people associated with the Republicans not jobs and economic growth not cutting spending not reforming entitlements.
And bottom line unless the Republicans fix this.
They will be in deep deep trouble going forward you agree yeah you know I think we have another number here that I guess we're gonna go -- showing.
In the second week in a row when the generic ballot question to congress.
-- yes let's put that in the Rasmussen Reports poll it's out of order.
Christina let's put that out there because it's really revealing it is.
You know losing might look at this ten points for the second week in a row rescues Manassas every week I think this is the worst results and so -- That I mean this brain damage that there -- about not only they don't have a positive message they don't have a contrast challenging the president.
-- what they're doing they're still in the process of sweeping under the rug.
The RNC this week announces the appointment of Haley Barbour the wonderfully congenial wonderful guy who happen to be -- crossroads of a former chairman.
He's -- to head up a commission.
I guess -- a two for the white wash both the RNC and croft wrote for what happened in this election.
But none of the wanna come to grips with the field or what it means about where the -- that I spoke to one of the bond dealers that I regularly.
Consult -- he told me today he's done.
He's finished no more money he said I've been there and a lot of the bubbles look like this that's why the -- conference got canceled in January.
The meeting but you know well.
But first of the two things the big picture as Doug said that Republicans are in trouble.
It's not just now that we've lost five out of the last six presidential elections in the popular votes of the trend has been bad nothing's been done to reverse.
It's not just Romney it's a series of events in the big picture the image of the Republican Party is -- state.
Negative mean.
Not like it was under Reagan were it was nice.
Yes it was strong bears responsibility.
A lot of people probably Republican establishment look -- always consult getting all the money public -- their party in control the -- -- The Republican but establishment has -- vision.
Look we have numbers if you ask people -- we have smaller government the bigger government or for smaller government and US thirty states that -- Republican governors and legislatures and isn't successor.
His support at the grassroots trail well.
They're joining us political leadership in the house and the senate Mitch McConnell in the senate John Boehner and now we don't even talk to each other by the way is -- -- they don't talk and other big name they don't have the same game plan on negotiating with the president you would think the party would be unified and -- gonna go ahead.
The -- throw one more -- to Fox News -- 65%.
Say government is down right broken 26 persons were just okay.
People want change so they want fundamental.
And what the Republicans.
Are not doing Greg.
Is or offering a vision for the future that is fiscally prudent that offers a way out.
Of the mess that this is what that showed him to -- problem when don't think.
Look you somebody's eat you don't need to parties defending the broken Washington you need -- party that is the -- party of that.
And the Republicans should actually be that they're not because Republican establishment is a an establishment Washington party and I must say it's -- of the bush used -- are only in the 1850s.
But slowly I said there's a window of a major party and the birth.
Ultimately of the new party that can there is a signal majority in this country against some political class and the congressman -- -- talking about him -- reform.
And that is -- moderate centrist party -- -- right.
In somebody's gonna speak about it and the Republicans choose not to with these numbers -- pointed.
They can -- -- law will become active fiscal cliff because it really is the top of the data will be until January for estimates something's done and more -- 60% of Republicans say they want to compromise 61%.
-- we do want you to raise taxes if you mosque on the wealthy.
Now if John Boehner does that.
And he's offering.
What if he gets significant spending cuts as part of the deal he will survive -- speaker the Republicans will survive they'll have something to campaign on.
That's the trade on the haven't articulated.
The need to cut spending reform entitlements as part of a pro growth strategy.
In a way that they need to do to address our list that was many are being killed on that you know that -- -- -- -- we're out of time because I wanted to ask you about the keeping people at Santa -- is a Democrat Republican sweep in April that's 44% say it's Democrat point 8% say you know what that tells us that they see.
The Republicans are so Scrooge.
Democrats and it's a Democrat they sent us ability -- -- sent -- tonight's I thought it was just banner read history as well well a lot of I think a little bit on the -- down ability to back it -- -- and museum day.

My husband bought these this summer and, I must admit, was skeptical that he would wear them. He wore them every day. It's now November, he just lost them and is devasted. We're ordering a new pair to keep him happy!! Thank you Crocs!
Try them before you buy it
I Threw 40 USD because the sunglasses looked nice on the web site and I believed they will look nice on me too...
I tried them on me and on my friends and they really do not fit.
I just can't describe it, just do yourself a favor and try them before you buy them.
For me, it's a waste of money.

NEW DELHI: A mother of two, a five-time world champion and an inspiration for millions, India's 'Queen of the ring' Mary Kom has set her mind on winning the first-ever women's boxing Olympics gold medal in London.
Born into a farmer's family in Kangathei village in Manipur, life was not easy for Kom.
Recalling her early life, she says the then Manipuri boxer Dingko Singh, who won a gold at the Asian Games in Bangkok was her biggest inspiration.
From then to now, Kom has been a five-time world champion and is currently on a quest to grab gold at the Lonodn Olympics, which began last month.
Mary lost in the quarterfinals of World Championship earlier this year, but having secured a place for herself in the Olympics, she told Bikyamasr.com that she hopes to be prepared.
Commenting about the areas she needs to work on, she bursts into laughter saying, "I have to improve everything, I need workout more, maintain my performance and analyze my opponents."
Shifting the weight category was not easy for her, not only did she have to gain weight but fight women much taller than her who moved down to the 51 category.
"Its quite difficult fighting with taller women, its very easy with the shorter ones. I need to jump to box the taller women," she said.
When she is not fighting women in the ring and training for her games she likes to spend time running around her house with her two boys Rengpa and Nainai.
Shifting from Hindi to English regularly along with the bouts of laughter, Kom says, "I will be fighting on my sons birthday, August 5th."
Kom talks fondly of the undying support her husband has given her as her manager, as a father and as a husband. Holding back her tears, she recalls the time when her husband chose to hide her son's heart problems just so that she could concentrate of her game.
Comparing other sports with cricket, the boxer became emotional.
"I am very upset, no one recognizes me even after being a five-time world champion. Even after having my kids I am still trying to do my best," she added.
Now she is off to London.

decision on component speakers
I'm looking at getting new component speakers for my 09 silverado ext cab. I will be putting 1 12" sub in it. So i was wondering which component speakers would sound the best in a silverado with 1 12. I'm leaning towards the alpine type-r's or the JL c-2 650's because I have a price range around 300. But I would also like to know what im paying my money for and if anyone can give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it! thanks.

Hi all, I'm working on my second revision prototype of my RC based controller, I built the first a couple of years ago but it got put to one side for a long time.
What i wanted from the design was a completely expandable display and map-able controller able to be used with any system.
So here it is as of now i just need a better bike to use it on, my test bed is a stand up scooter.
Here's the previous version on the scooter these are old photos
I have condensed the lot you see in the photos, the large box on the back which contained an arduino mega, esc and regulator and separate screen.
My goals for this unit was:
-To output analog or Pwm for sending to the motor controller
-To read temperatures of the Motor, Esc, Battery and outside air
-To read Current drain from battery and eventually every phase of the motor
-To read speed (I'm using an optical slot sensor made with ir LEDs
-To read motor Rpm
-To read voltages
-And "finally lol" to use the data to regulate the Current, Range and motor speed

Identity Theft of the Deceased
Tuesday, March 26th, 2013It's traumatic to lose a loved one. That trauma is intensified when your loved one's identity is stolen.
Nearly 2.5 million deceased Americans' have their identity stolen each year. How is that happening? Several ways. One way is that thieves are reading the obituaries. They look for personal information such as birthday, mother's maiden name and home address.
Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona warns consumers that thieves move quickly using the stolen identity to purchase trips, electronics, cars, etc. while you are overcoming grief and attending to your loved one's personal effects. The experts tell us to contact each credit reporting bureau: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Ask them to flag the account as "deceased". This stops the chance of credit being issued.
Contact the Social Security office, banks, investments companies, insurance companies, and if applicable, the mortgage company. You will need an original copy of the death certificate for each of the entities you contact. They should mark the account as closed due to death of the account holder. Of course, if there are joint accounts, just remove the name of the deceased.
Don't forget to cancel the deceased's driver's license. You don't want a duplicate floating around in the hands of thieves.
The second way for fraudsters to get the social security number of the deceased is by chance. They make up social security numbers and it just happens to match the number of someone who died. Plus, unfortunately Uncle Sam has made Social Security numbers available in the Death Master File which is widely available on the Internet.
This is the time of year of tax returns. A fraudulent tax return using the deceased person's social security number works great for a con artist to make money via refunds.
The third way a deceased identity is stolen is by a family member. Most of us can't imagine a family member doing such a thing. Just know it does happen in some families.

Among my job duties is scouring the Internet for news of interest to the metal fabricating community. Hardly a day goes by when I don't run across items related to a topic of particular interest to metal fabricators—the shortage of skilled labor. It seems that every notable publication nationwide has addressed and continues to address the subject that cannot be resolved expediently enough for many manufacturers. So old, yet still timely news.
What's relatively new in my searches—say in the last year or so—is the proliferation of news items from local media about expanded technical training programs in high schools, community colleges, and universities all across the country. I see these almost daily. It's a far cry from what I was seeing almost a decade ago when these programs were being decimated. (more...)

But if you did, if you had the kind of curiosity, if you had an innate interest in the welfare of your fellow human beings, and if you went through that door, a strange thing happened: you left your petty troubles on the threshold.

What I Know Now
There were people on that board who had been trying for 6 months to get pregnant. I thought, oh my god I just don't know how they do it. I'm sure I would go crazy if it took me six months to get pregnant. Luckily that won't be me...I'll get pregnant right away.
When I reached 6 months of TTC I thought, eh, well...it's normal to take 'up to a year' to get pregnant. I know plenty of people who tried for 9 or 10 months and then 'boom'...they were knocked up. I'm totally normal.
There was a thread on that board of people who had been trying for one year to get pregnant. I used to read through it thinking, oh my god. I don't know how they do it. I would go crazy if it took us a year. I don't think I could go on. How depressing. Luckily that won't be me...I'll be pregnant within the next few months.
When I reached one year of TTC, and made my appointment for initial testing, I was terrified. But I was still sure that we were just a little 'slow' and it was going to 'happen' any time. It would probably happen just after making the appointment. There was nothing wrong with us.
As my fellow TTC-ers who had not yet gotten knocked up started getting tested, their results were rolling in as well. When I would hear about a low sperm count, my stomach would drop. When I heard tales of fertility drugs and IUIs, my eyes would grow round. When I heard of people who needed IVF, I would panic. I was thinking, Oh thank god that's not me. Our tests are going to be fine. If I had to go through what these people are going through I don't think I could survive. I would probably go crazy. I couldn't take it. I would be so sad. My life would be over. What would we do?
Despite all these so called "milestones" that I had in the back of my mind, that I dreaded...here I am. I am not crazy. I have survived. This is all just part of life 'as we know it'. I looked at those people who were so far ahead of me in TTC time...and I 'caught up' to them in a sense. Their world wasn't all that I thought it would be. It isn't all doom and gloom and sadness. I still laugh. I still live. Infertility has just become a part of all of that. Here it's just standard quo.
13 conceptions:
- Sarah said...
I remember having those exact same thoughts, feeling like I could never go through what I was reading all those other couples go through. I would just crumble. Well, I may have cracked a little...but like you said, it just sort of becomes part of life. You deal with it. One day at a time.

- JamieD said...
I remember my first TTC boards. I would never post because I didn't think there was really any reason for people to get to know me since I would be pregnant any day and moving along to the pregnancy boards.

I could have written that myself. Now I look at people who have been at it for years at think "I don't know how they do it, I could never do that" but it has occurred to me, I will and I can, I don't want to but I am determined to see this through to the end. Hugs that you have to be in this place, but the very fact that you are living it and surviving gives others hope and strength.
I tagged you for a Friendship Award! - October 19, 2008 at 10:31 PM

It's so crazy how what you think infertility will be like compares to what it's actually like, especially as the years go on.
It seems it's simultaneously worse and better than anticipated. - October 20, 2008 at 12:43 AM
- KandiB said...
That's all so true, isn't it? It's so easy to wonder, "what if that's me?" But, we will survive, right? Hope this week is a good one for you.
- October 20, 2008 at 1:05 AM
- theclam said...
I think it's a case of the more you learn about your infertility the more you become equipped to handle it. The girl we were when we first started trying (and thought we were pg on the first try cos we've all been there done that) would never handle what we're going through now. Ironically it's those milestones that get us through this journey.
Good journey to you Cyn! Good journey! - October 20, 2008 at 6:14 AM
- Ophelia said...
I know exactly what you mean. I never ever thought I'd be a "longtimer". Here I am.
- October 20, 2008 at 10:02 AM
- Courtney said...
Amen sister!! I feel like you saw inside my brain and heart! I have had all the same thoughts and feelings. Makes me wonder... what would I do differently? I do know the answer though even though I can't change it- I would have gone to the RE in Dec after the 2nd m/c. Maybe it would have changed things... I don't know.
- October 20, 2008 at 10:39 AM
- Another Julia said...
Exactly, honey. This just becomes the "new normal". I hope that you will have first-time IVF success, and that you can get off of the IF rollercoaster for now. It's the weirdest thing--when I had the scan confirming my miscarriage after IVF/ICSI, the first thing that popped into my head was "well, it isn't the worst thing that's happened along this journey."
Strange how the truly heinous can become part of just another day, isn't it? - October 20, 2008 at 10:50 AM
- Another Dreamer said...
I still find it strange, looking back at the girl almost two years ago. She was pretty naive. I wonder what happened to her, and her "Maybe next months"s
- October 20, 2008 at 11:43 AM
- sharonvw said...
Infertility really is a journey and when we look back on where we've come, sometimes its surprising to realize we really are ok!
(((Hugss))) - October 20, 2008 at 1:24 PM
- Andrea said...
Do we share the same brain? I think I went through the exact same thought process while TTC!
Now, I look back on all the ladies/nesties that started trying with me who are now, of course, pregnant or have already had their babies. It wasn't me who was supposed to have the serious issues. I just don't get it somedays. But, as you said, we will (and have) survived. We are tough chicks. - October 20, 2008 at 9:16 PM

Which US Player Will Be The First To Do This Here?
Colombian footballer Javier Florez shot a man dead last night for teasing him. Yea, you read that right, teasing him. The Atletico Junior de Barranquilla player was driving near his house when a group of people began taunting him about his team's recent loss in the Colombian Apertura championship final. Apparently, since he'd been drinking, this was a bad idea. The drunken Florez then got out of his car, with a gun in hand, shot at the group, hit and killed a man with two of the shots, then left his car and ran away from the scene of the incident. Luckily (for him) he just turned himself in to the authorities.
Tragic…truly sad. What I want to know is, how has this not happened here in the states? Who do you think would be the first American athlete to kill a fan for making fun of him? Or has it been done before and I just totally missed it?
I'm thinking Ron Artest might have a good shot. Its too bad Albert Belle doesn't play anymore cause he'd be MONEY. What do you, our readers who never comment, think?

Thank you Rocco for taking the time to continually alert others to this dishonest man we have to…Read Moredis gustingly call President. This is just another one of the many lies this man has no problem with. Why? because it is his just a way of life for him. His Saul Alinsky training is embedded.
When Senator Joe Wilson instinctively called Obama out during a speech In the first year of office with "You Lie" but then was forced to apologize, that apology gave permission for the lies to escalate and persist. Real Citizens would be in jail for treason for what this man is doing with his narcissistic ignorance and executive orders diminishing our American lives and country.
We need more Snowdon's willing to risk their lives to expose this corrupt president, his family and their disciples residing in and around the White House.

I support Affordable Housing in Affordable Communities, Greenwich for example is not an affordable…Read Morec ommunity nor is a place like Manhattan. Housing is about a place to live and if the wages are not paid to afford housing than someone should really talk to McDonalds/Walmart and Friends and start charging double or triple for everything so they can afford a normal life. Unless of course you are talking about serial benefit recipients whose job is filling out forms and managing income numbers, then perhaps you should talk to your representative in Hartford and ask them why if a person earns a few thousand dollars a year they lose their benefits. Hardly an incentive to work for anything especially an affordable house, in those cases they need Free houses. Once again Evil Satanic Progressive immoral liberalism at work. Look in the Mirror Alice you must be proud of your party's accomplishments.

Newcastle researchers will examine the effectiveness of a new intervention program designed to reduce smoking and alcohol consumption among high school students.
Associate Professor John Wiggers* will lead the research supported by a $1.4 million grant announced by the National Health and Medical Research Council today. He will partner with the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Health, the Hunter Institute of Mental Health and the NSW Department of Education and Training.
Associate Professor Wiggers said despite a variety of anti-smoking and anti-alcohol initiatives, people continued to misuse alcohol and tobacco, with associated illnesses and deaths remained unacceptably high in Australia.
"The younger people are when they start to use tobacco and alcohol, the greater the likelihood of dependence and lifelong negative health outcomes," Professor Wiggers said.
"The school years appear to be the ideal time to target messages to young people to discourage them from smoking and drinking alcohol, but there is very little evidence to support the success of school-based programs.
"Our program promotes the mental wellbeing of young people. We are looking at ways to build student self-esteem and equip students with the personal skills and traits to help them make well-informed choices."
The program will also focus on influences such as family, friends, school and community, which provide support for young people in responding to life events. It will connect schools with specific community support services for teenagers and focus on building teacher understanding of student mental wellbeing.
Students from 24 schools in low socio-economic status (SES) postcode areas across the Hunter New England Health region will take part in the project, which kicks off next year. They will complete web-based surveys, which will be monitored for accuracy. Students in Year 7 at the start of the research will be surveyed again when they are in Year 10.
The research project is one of 13 at the University of Newcastle supported today in the latest round of National Health and Medical Research Council funding.
* Associate Professor John Wiggers is Director of Hunter New England Population Health and researcher in the University of Newcastle's Priority Research Centre for Health Behaviour. The Priority Research Centre for Health Behaviour works in collaboration with the Hunter Medical Research Institute's (HMRI) Public Health Research Program. HMRI is a partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Health and the community.

NBA superstar, and 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist, Dwyane Wade set aside some time last week, to coach UK kids. Wade is mentoring the London-area kids to teach them how to succeed in life through sport. Lessons he teaches his own sons. Since 2011, the Miami Heat guard has taken part in U.S. President Barack Obama's Fatherhood Initiative. Wade says the London 2012 Games are a chance for parents to use athletics to show their kids how diverse the world can be.
"The great thing about Olympic Sports and Olympic time is that you get the opportunity to watch sports that you might not have known nothing about or you might not have watched before...I know my kids love sports so it just makes it a little bit easier to say you don't like this one try this one. You don't like this one try this one. It just gives them more opportunities, more options. That's what you want as a parent. You want to give your kids options."
This London basketball clinic was one of many that American athletes took part in during the Olympics. Accompanying Wade was American Ambassador Louis Susman, who said the Olympics gives U.S. athletes the chance to act as ambassadors themselves.
A full gallery of Dwyane Wade and Ambassador Susman at the NBA kids clinic can be found on U.S. Embassy London's Flickr site.
Editor's Note: This entry also appears on the U.S. Embassy in London's blog.
