Fits control plate of a Tele perfectly.
Super service, quick to get.
I wired up two of these, one as a volume, one as a tone with a cap on a floating pickguard (Gibson archtop). They fit perfecty between the body and bottom of the pickguard, but the volume pot wouldn't turn the volume all the way off and the tone pot barely made any difference in tone at all. Luckily, I bought three because I pretty much figured these were garbage. I replaced the volume pot with my spare and it worked normally, tone still sucked. I ran this setup for a bit, but eventually switch to better quality Schatten Design pots. The tone pot worked great. No more Alpha garbage for this fool.
The Mini Pots are the only ones that will fit in the very tight cavity of my Hammer Slammer. I upgraded from the factory 250 K pots and there IS a difference in output ! Now I'll get them for the rest of my guitars !
These pots are OK. A little fragile as one of the leads busted off while bending it to solder to the case. My Bad. I'd order them again, but will need to be a little more gentle with these guys.
I love Stew-Mac. They have stuff you just can't find anywhere else. Their service and prices are excellent too!
These mini pots work well for such a small space It still sounds great.
Good price and product.

Research In Motion Renames BlackBerry Widgets, Open Sources the Project
Widgets is now WebWorks as RIM makes steps toward application platform for Torch and Playbook.
Research In Motion announced that its web-based development platform BlackBerry Widgets is getting a name change and moving to open source. BlackBerry Widgets is now BlackBerry WebWorks. Like Widgets, WebWorks uses BlackBerry Web App Packager, allowing developers to create rich Web apps with HTML5, CSS, XML and other languages.
This announcement follows RIM's announcement of the PlayBook, a feature-rich tablet that supports OpenGL, Flash 10.1 and POSIX. Like the BlackBerry Torch, the Playbook features a Webkit browser, which supports HTML5, CSS, and other rich features.
If RIM opts for Web app-based product, the move is a logical one. Unlike other devices such as the first-generation iPhone, which began its life focusing on Web apps, BlackBerry devices use BlackBerry Internet Service to compress and encrypt outgoing information and decrypts incoming information as it arrives to the phone, adding an additional level of security.
While that's speculation, what is for certain is that WebWorks is available at gihub right now.

How are we doing? Our Village has been incorporated for 14 years now and we want to know what you think.
Take our brief survey in this issue on page 6 and tell us what you think about the Mayor and the Councilmembers. And, our Village Manager's contract is up for renewal; should we keep him on the job for another two years?
Incorporation brought about the creation of several new entities in our community and we want to know what you think about them. How is the Police Department doing? How about Public Works? Parks and Recreation? Building and Zoning?
And what about Pinecrest Gardens? Has it lived up to your expectations? And do you like the ongoing street landscaping program?
Take our survey and send it to us. You could win a free dinner for two at the Anacapri Restaurant.
Short URL: http://www.communitynewspapers.com/?p=13710
Although members of the Pinecrest council say they have no intention of paying attention to the survey I feel it is important that we have a voice. The official Pinecrest survey only contacted 400 people at random leaving many to feel excluded in the process. The Pinecrest Tribune is reaching out to every one.
Keep up the good work

With the rise of social media, and its power to harness "the voice of the crowd" to effect change, it's become easier to enlist the masses to support a cause. That new-found ability should not enable us to set aside our ethics because the technology is new. The same rules against bullying and using people in need still apply.
Take the case of the Denton, Texas Travel Center's flagpole. As described here by Bud Kennedy in the Fort Worth, Texas Star-Telegram, their flagpole (unused for ten years) was spotted by an Oklahoma country singer who I will not name here. He shot a video describing the problem of having an empty flagpole in that particular area (The United States, specifically Texas) while engaged in that particular business (serving travelers through that area). In the process of trying to get a flag raised, he recorded the whole confrontation, including a company employee lowering the flag this fellow hung while trespassing. He edited it into a YouTube video with appropriately supportive music. As the video went viral, calls for a boycott ensued, and, in the end, the corporation apologized. There's a new flag up, too. So now the boycotters are not boycotting, the Oklahoma country singer got his name in the paper and a bunch of pageviews for his YouTube video for resolving an issue that wasn't an issue until he made it an issue. So now everything's okay, right?
Well, how about organ donation? In this release from earlier this year, the CEO of Facebook announced a new feature: you can now add your organ donation status to your Facebook timeline. Never mind the fact that you could, if you chose, list that information in your profile in prose. Now there is a button to push, a category to add. And a brand new thing to insist upon if you were going to be Facebook friends with someone, a requirement for contact, a method of exclusion. While that was not the CEO's intention, I'm sure, these things do happen. And this announcement was made, by the way, just a couple of weeks before the IPO for Facebook went live. The personal gain from the release is debatable, but if any publicity is good publicity….
I'm not against flying the flag, but I'm also not against an empty flagpole, particularly if it's broken. I'm not against public confirmation of organ donation status, but I'm also not against keeping that information quiet. I'm not against a little gratuitous PR (oh look! this is my blog!), but I am of the opinion that if you're actually interested in doing good for more than just yourself, publicizing your actions takes up time and energy that you could be using to do more good. So does filming. And YouTube videos. And reprogramming a social networking website with millions of members.
I am against mass pressure to do something you don't want to do when refusal is completely acceptable. Admittedly though, there are causes you favor no matter who benefits most. Where do we draw the line? Simple: it's the answer to the question "who's getting used?"

Nothing's as big as your first love.
Little Manhattan is a cute and charming film that puts low-level self-proclaimed romantic comedies to shame.

i like Citizen Kane as well and i can be a film snob. But this movie isnt IMDB250 movie.
Pay attention to every comment Guy Pearce makes in dialogues, in a way its funny, but also kinda annoying when realizing its all he does.

One of the funniest films ever. It has loads of naughty potential, but Maggie Gyllenhaal is so hilariously solemn, you can't help but laugh your kecks off. Brilliant, amusing, sassy and well worth watching. 10/10

I liked it :) Putlocker best ;)
by senddown,2013-06-24 13:19:38
Watched the ByteMyAss putlocker links - A-10/V-10. 2 young girls go to live in an old house in the countryside next to a large forest with their father. The eldest daughter looks like a young kiki from kikis delivery service so were on to a winner already! The magical black soot even makes a first appearance! (if you've seen spirited away - come see their cousins!) Shortly after they move in they find there's more to the forest than the birds and the bees and have lots of enchanting child fun with the spirits. It recaptures the magic of childhood and makes you think if you brought a sprinkle of that in to your own life, you would be the better and the happier for it.

Among normal humans live the "Others" possessing various supernatural powers. They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the dark, who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. Ever since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs to their dark opponents...

Angry Birds Seasons
50,000,000 - 100,000,000 downloads
- High playability
- Amount of extra levels
- New sharing options
- We're still missing new bird types and new game modes
"Outraged birds by seasons"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Sep 10, 2012
Angry Birds Seasons is back, quenching our thirst for extra-levels in this great game.
This new release of Angry Birds Seasons is a package with new levels that include new structures and challenges. The object of the game is still the same: to flatten all the green pigs in sight by launching the angry birds with a slingshot. A variety of birds with different abilities can be used to break down different kind of structures. Popping pigs and breaking down structures is the way to score: you'll need fewer birds to kill all the pigs and your score increases the more structures you target. Get it just right and you'll be awarded with three stars in each level (so you can collect more golden eggs).
Although the game's performance is still the same, Angry Birds Seasons brings new options such as leaderboards, achievements and Facebook/Youtube integrations, among other extra features. If you've never tried any of the Angry Birds games, we recommend you to start with the classic Angry Birds (check out the review in the app sheet to find out more about the game).
Angry Birds Seasons has been developed by Rovio, an entertainment media company based in Finland, founded in 2003 as a mobile game development studio. Rovio has shipped over 50 mobile titles and developed games with Electronic Arts, Nokia, Vivendi, Namco Bandai and Mr. Goodliving/Real Networks. Since its success with the Angry Birds franchise, Rovio is rapidly expanding its activities in broadcast media, merchandising, publishing and services.
If you liked Angry Birds, you will love this one since it brings you extra levels and features to keep on beating those green pigs.

Challenging Yourself
6 comments:
hi sharon! love your blog and your work! what an inspirational post :) I'm currently juggling working full-time and cakes on the side and have taken quite a few orders for xmas. At first I thought I may have bitten more than I can chew but I thought if I don't take on the challenge I'll never learn. So I've planned my weekend out carefully(sacrificing social outings) to fit it all in. Here's hoping it'll all be done on time! Merry Xmas!
- December 15, 2011 at 3:17 PM
Your work is amazing. I would love to be able to take a class with you one day. Maybe one day you can have a class in California.

Since the first time I found and read your blog, it still amaze me until today.
Very true what you said, like me I ran a small cake business, work for myself too, and if you don't push yourself none will. Yeah, loosing sleep is one of the sacrifice that I have to do too, plus loosing a bit quality time with my family. And ganache-ing, I was doing it for 1 hour for 1 single cake (LOL) but now half an hour for 1 single cake. I wish one day I will be as fast as you and as good as you in creating well dressed cakes. You are such an inspirational to me.

I finally took the plunge and quit buying cheap tuners and do not regret it. Smooth as silk, the engraving adds a quality touch and the StewMac service is always a plus, thanks!
At first I was a little skeptical, but once installed the skepticism disappeared instantly. Light years better than the cheap tuner that was original equipment
I bought this to replace a missing 5th string tuner on an Epiphone 5-string banjo. This unit is slightly oversize, so provided a good, snug fit. The tuner action is very smooth and positive. A great product!
I ordered this tuning peg and it seemed like it was in my mailbox the next day! Great quality and lightning fast shipping!
I am a newbie on the banjo after years 46 yrs of guitar and bass I started with the banjo, the friction tuner on my import was a pain this made it much easier to stay in tune in the 5th string and enjoy
I have used 5 Star tuners on my banjos for years. They are smooth and accurate with no slipping. I only wish they would come with less tacky knobs so I would not have to buy ivoroid knobs seperately every time.
My one year old Rover RB-20 had the fifth peg explode on it during practice one night. I ordered the nickel Five-Star 5th string peg to replace it. It installed easily and works perfectly. I am very happy with the purchase. I only gave it four stars because it is an economy tuner.
nicely engineered & reasonably priced. worth spending the extra money to buy one of the alternate buttons that are available for this type - the standard buttons are a bit clunky.
very smooth operating gears...highest quality. fast installation with the Stew-Mac tapered tool...photos shows one of the optional knobs available
Replaced the old tuner with no problem. A little adjustment on the angle and hole size but with little or no problem. Smooth and easy to tune now. I recomend this to all.

"I gave this to my daughter entering High School as a Freshman as a little back to school gift. I put her name and her school name on it (just the acronym due to lack of space) She loved it! I wish TinyPrints would offer more sitckers that allow this. It was hard to find the right one."
"The design is precious. I can use it on stationary, gift tags, and most recently graduation cards. I received the stickers within a couple days. The product Tinyprints provides cannot compare to other similar products on the Internet. The price is excellent !!!!"
"The address labels are very nice!!! It was extremely easy to customize. I also ordered the matching invites in addition to the address labels (check out my reviews on those items). Lastly, I was due to receive my order on 3/15 but received it ALL on 3/7. Yay!!! You won't be disappointed if you go decide to order these gift tags. FYI, I needed to purchase a few more sheets of gift tags and customer service was so very accommodating and were able to add to my order since it had not gone to print. Super nice reps!!!"
"These are beautiful and perfect for favors! I absolutely LOVE this design. My only issue is that you can't fit too many words on it. I had to really condense what I wanted to say on them! Other than that, they are wonderful:)"
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"

Hey Cosmo, its Candice and we're here in New York behind the scenes of Victoria Secret, Love Me Valentine's Day shoot.
This might be a personally made card. Its better been a [unknown] card so get creative.
I definitely think you need to do the smoky eye and sort of red lips because if you have a red lip you will be able to kiss.
I think it was kind of sex kitten--
with the messy hair and those smoky eyes, very sexy, ready [unknown].
I like to spray some fragrance in my hair because I think it's really nice if you like walking and people could tell if you give someone a hug, they can like just like smell a little bit of beautiful fragrance.
My favorite makeup trick would be to use shimmery highlighter, put it on the top of Your cheek bone here, and on the crease of your lip here, it gives the illusion of fuller lips.
It's a close call, but I think I would go with Pauly D because I just wanna touch his hair and so he'd be a good person to party with.

Chamber backs Medicaid expansion
By Ashley Rader
The Elizabethton-Carter County Chamber of Commerce board offered its support to local medical institutions by approving a motion asking the state to approve the expansion of Medicaid in Tennessee.
Sycamore Shoals Hospital CEO Dwayne Taylor talked with the board recently about the hospital's concerns over the financial impact Sycamore Shoals would face if the state did not pass the Medicaid expansion plan.
Taylor said the hospital could lose $2.7 million in Medicaid reimbursements over the next 10 years if the expansion was not approved.
"There will be financial pain coming to hospitals," Taylor said. "Smaller hospitals will be more vulnerable to this. Hospitals will close across the state, especially smaller, independent hospitals, or services will be cut."
Taylor said Tennessee hospitals would see a reduction of revenue of $5.6 billion over the next decade due to cuts to Medicaid reimbursement in the Affordable Care Act, along with other federal legislation.
The funding reductions were to be partially offset by reducing the number of uninsured patients by expanding Medicaid and introducing health care changes.
However, the Supreme Court struck down the ACA mandate requiring states to participate in the Medicaid expansion, leaving each state to decide if it will opt in or out of the expansion. Taylor said Gov. Bill Haslam has not said whether Tennessee will participate or not in the expansion. He said hospitals were being giving the opportunity to seek out support for the expansion from their communities.

Lisa Moriarty is mom to autistic twin boys, Stephen and Jack, and takes all kinds of precautions to keep her sons out of harm's way: "We have a latch on the closet door to make sure they don't get into anything... an alarm system at the house so we have the alert chime on the door so I know if it opens, and all medication is kept in a central location in the house so that no one has meds that may be left within reach."
Moriarty's biggest day-to-day safety concern: Keeping the boys safe in their room at night when she's asleep and not watching them, especially because, she says, "We never know what they will do next."
She's not alone. Denise Norton of Mt Gambier, South Australia, is the mother of 7-year-old Blair, a boy with autism. Her son is a "runner" -- he runs or wanders off without even any comprehension of the possible danger -- and so Denise knows all about the panic that can ensue when a child disappears. "When stressed, he will run and hide, where ever he can, and as far away as he can," she says. "The worst time was when he hid in an unlocked car on a 42 degree Celsius [107.6 degrees Fahrenheit] summer day, I found him on the verge of unconsciousness -- that was frightening."
In response, her family regularly tries to to teach Blair safe places to hide out when he gets stressed, but, as she says, "it's a work in progress."
And then there are stories with truly tragic endings. "Kedan, my precious son, was out of my sight for five minutes watching TV. Five short minutes and my life is forever changed now," wrote SheKnows community member Sandra. She lost her autistic son Kedan when he escaped from the house and followed his ball into a nearby pond.
Kedan's dad found him not even five minutes later... but the boy had already drowned. The EMTs worked on the almost 5-year-old for an hour, but were unable to revive him. "I want to see him and hug him so badly but I can't. I cry constantly wishing I could hold him again." (Read Sandra's heartbreaking message board post about the tragedy here.)
Sadly, this is just one of several similar stories that have been in the news each of the past few years. While most children are drawn to water, many autistic children seem even more fascinated by it -- and they're also fearless. So special care needs to be taken around pools, ponds, lakes, fountains, hot tubs, bathtubs and even buckets -- and teaching your child to swim should be an early priority.
If you have a child with autism and are looking for ways to up your home's safety quotient, here's a look at what some other parents are doing -- and what you might want to consider.
Around the house: Keeping your autistic child safe isn't just about keeping him in -- you also need to keep him (or her) protected while inside. That means locking doors from the outside when a room is empty, using special latches on bathroom doors and perhaps also a toilet lock, and ensuring he can't access the garage, an attic or crawlspace.
Don't forget about other basic safety precautions -- much as one would use for a neurotypical toddler. You'll want to consider things like adding cabinet safety latches, no-pinch drawer closures, electrical outlet covers, installing window guards, ensuring picture frames are made of plastic and not glass, attaching dressers and tall furniture to the wall (to prevent tipping), making sure all your smoke detectors are working and so forth. (Get more child safety tips here.)
Bedroom: "Middle-of-the night wandering" is common among children with autism. If your child roams at night, you may want to secure the room at bedtime by locking the bedroom door from the outside. Yes, it may feel like you're imprisoning your child, but better safe than sorry. Additionally, you need your rest; tomorrow is another exhausting day. Caution: Be sure you have quick access to the room in the event of a fire or other emergency.
Entryway safety gates (baby gates) may also be useful. For several years now, SheKnows editor Nancy Price has been able to use two baby gates stacked high in the doorway to keep her son secure at night.
Other parents have successfully used the gate method, too. "There is a safety gate on the doorway so that they don't leave the room unless we are awake and watching them," Moriarty says of her sons. In addition, she says, "The upstairs is also gated off so that they are not unsupervised up there." And when the kids have outgrown the gates, she plans to replace at least of one them with a Dutch door -- which she hopes will serve its purpose for at least a few years.
Furniture arrangement: Be sure that furniture placement isn't allowing easy access to windows, door locks or other means for your child to escape. In addition, if your child frequently runs out of a room via a predictable path, try to arrange the furniture so that he or she is unable to easily escape.
Windows: If your child likes to climb out of windows, install window locks (available at your local hardware or home improvement store). If your child breaks glass or pounds on the windows, replace the glass panes with Plexiglas to prevent injury and elopement.
Exterior doors: Place extra locks on doors that provide entry to or exit from the home. Having locks that are high and out of children's reach can prevent them from exiting the house unsupervised. Jon Baker of Chandler, Arizona, uses keyed deadbolts on all the doors of his home, because his son, Willy, who has severe autism, "has escaped a few times." (You will need to weigh the pros and cons of different types of locks, with consideration to how you and your family will be able to evacuate your home in case of emergency.)
Still, locks alone won't always do the job. "What's hard for outsiders to understand is that these kids may not be able to carry on a conversation, but they often make up for that lack of skills in other ways," says the mother of an autistic gradeschooler. "Some of these children can be remarkably adept at doing things like using electronic equipment, playing videogames and building complex sculptures with Legos. But in many cases, that kind of skill goes hand-in-hand with the ability to figure out how to defeat a lock."
Alarms: Once your house is secure, you still need a way to discern when your child has left the house – just in case. A battery-operated doorbell chime on exterior doors may work just as effectively as a pricey home alarm system. Moriarty keeps alert chimes on her doors for added comfort. (Just keep in mind that the doorbell chime works only if the doors are left closed when not in use.) If you feel uncomfortable securing your home yourself or don't quite know where to begin, consider contacting a professional locksmith, security company or home improvement professional.
Monitoring: You have the locks, the fences, the alarms. Still, knowing where your child is at all times is key to making sure you don't launch into panic mode the moment he or she seems to be gone!
To cut down on that kind of stress, one mom uses a video baby monitor to keep an eye on her son at night. "We have the camera mounted high in the corner so we can see his entire bedroom. So now for the past two-plus years, we've been able to check on him a couple times a night without even getting out of bed," she says. "I sometimes also use it during the day when he's awake, just to know what he's up to."
Fencing: Children on the autistic spectrum often like to be outside and in motion, so leaving the home to play outside is common. A high fence surrounding your yard may prevent escape artists from leaving your grounds once outdoors. With the added sense of security this should bring, you'll have a better chance of enjoying playtime. (Of course, pools and other water features should always be fenced; buckets, tubs and anything that contains even a few gallons of water ought to be emptied.)

autism safety special needs
THANK YOU, THANK YOU... For this awesome information regarding safety for children with autism. Now my family will know how serious this really, and maybe will not just see me as an over reacting mom. I will be leaving my 3 year old daughter with my sister in law for 3 days ( husbands request) while I attend a 3 day education training. I have typed out instructions and care for my daughter, along with explaining the importance of locking and securing the home. The response from them is as if I telling them how to watch over any other normal kid. They seem to be blind and unreceptive to her condition. Hopefully after sending her this article, she will understand that she won't be babysitting just a normal kid.
Cara: I am a 60 year old grandmother of a 7 year old autistic granddaughter, who lives with her parents and siblings in another state.
I recently entered an insurance company and heard "Tinker Bell" bells going off, and felt that I had just arrived in heaven! lol. I looked up, and above the door they had hung a small wind chime with pretty noises! I thought "What a good idea!" I am sending some wind chimes and a simple screw into the ceiling cup hook to my daughter to put above any doors she deems necessary! The kid can't reach the ceiling yet, and it will help her know in a sweet way that her little darling has escaped!
I hope this helps!
I am so so glad to read this web site. You all have given me ideas and I have been floundering for 9 long years doing everything wrong at first, being afraid to keep michael when he became stronger than me. Now many of my questions have been answered and I just am grateful to all of you for posting. Michael is a wonderful, intelligent boy who loves his grandma very much but I haven't kept him in a while because I am so afraid he will get away from me. Taking a picture of him and writing on his arm are two great ways of making me feel more secure. I will still have to have someone with me that can help control him physically but it frees me up to be a little more confident that we can keep him safer.
when i take my son places (i dont have a car so often its walking or going on bus) i have him either in his pram (he almost outgrown it) or walk him with a safty harness. the one i have is almost too small, it wont fit over thick jerseys or jackets so i have to find a bigger stronger harness for him. people dont understand why i cant just walk him holding my hand without the harness, he darts and runs everywhere without looking around or knowing the dangers. if i took him to park without it he would end up getting into the duck pond or something. its hard when people dont understand but i keep doing what i know is best for my son. not nice when a strange lady comes up and accuses you of being a bad mother because your childs in a safety harness (like some dog she said) and he sits on ground and refuses to move or tries to pull the harness lead out of your hands.
such a relief to know im not alone in worrying about my 3yo autistic sons safety, i have had to get creative to keep him safe, i put a duvet cover over his mattress to stop him chewing the insides of it, a fitted sheet over the base as he had ripped the cloth cover with his teeth and extra tall metal safety gates since hes tall and likes chewing wood, if anyone can help with ways to stop him chewing wood id be very greatful as its getting serious. hes chewed a big cresent hollow out of his windowledge and even painting it with that bitter tasting stuff for stopping children biting nails hasnt stopped him chewing it and his door (its on inside of saftey gate).
When I take my son out in public, I put an identification sticker (InchWorm will custom make labels) on the back of his shirt where he can't reach it. On that sticker I have my name and phone number. I've also taken a page out of triathletes' book- when we go to the beach, I write my phone number on his arm in sharpie marker. I also take a picture of him right before we go anywhere. That way if I lose him, I have the most current picture of him and what he's wearing in my phone.
My daughter is 3. She is driving me crazy. Ive put child locks on everything in the house. she has still figured out how to open the doors and refrigerator door. she pulls out all of the food and breaks eggs all over the place. Last week she opened the front door and took off running. I pray every day for her safety. Im losing my mind.
I tried every baby gate for the bottom stair's and my son either break's it climbs over it or rips it down. he constantly runs upstair's. I have to keep running up and down the stairs all day. does anyone have any other solutions on blocking the stair's. thank you
I think its sad and unfortunate that they allowed McCormick to advertise their Shamrock Shake recipe, which includes MCCormick green food coloring in them, right next to an article on autistic kids. Am I the only one who noticed this?
I hear you all. I have an 9 year autistic son. We have mettle latch lock w/combination lock on frig. And key lock on all doors. It feels some times like a prison. But we all know what's more important, our children. I''m also an EA for special needs. I believe I have got my best problem solving solutions there. I now face the windows pen window gazer. I have latch pin locks on that don't stop my lock smith.
I have a 3year old that although we have not had a official test done yet but her pedestrian is pretty sure she has AS. I'm nervous all the time she doesn't sleep (she will finally fall asleep around 3 in the morning and sleep till 10 am),she doesn't like other people other than dad myself sister (sometimes LOL) and grandpa so family events are really hard loud nosies send into hiding. We have a safety door knob on the inside of her room so she can't wonder the house at night her dad stays awake till she falls asleep to make sure she stays safe. We can not afford any special safety needs for her so we find little things bathroom: for now we have an eyehook lock up high that everyone knows to lock when exiting (she does try to get chairs to climb up to get it. Closest we use duck tape up high as well.Drawer and cuboards have locks in the kitchen. I'm glad she is little so these things work for us for now. She did figure out the safety door handle things so we used tape to secure it and put locks on the other bedroom doors. I also have a 14 old daughter so she needs space to be her own and has stuff that Chloe should not get at. Oh yeah I have fridge and freezer locks as well she loves the feel of the textures and coldness of different foods.....I'm so tried all the time and I get frustrated. I cry myself to sleep often wondering what I did wrong or what can I do to help her.
The price you charge for NOAH's BED should be against the law!!
They do have different types, They have different types of mild restraints, if it is a matter of there safty, you have to protect them, I dont like any type of restraints.. There are also alarms to aleart you when he or she gets up..
My grandson, age 7 years and severely autistic, drowned recently. We are grief stricken but I need to turn this devestating sadness into action. How do we keep out children safe? How can the government assist parents? How do we provide to all families with autistic children the best technology to keep out children safe? What works best? so much more must be done and the government needs to do more.
Really interesting blog, keep up the good work!

your favrot preeteen in amarican Noah rhoden :)
Keeping them in the house: Deadbolt, double key. Keep key around your neck during day, hidden by your bed at night. Keeping them from getting at the windows: Solid wooden shutters INSIDE with two locks - one school combonation type, the other a regular latch with keylock. Keeping them from getting out a sliding glass door - bar lock, key lock, add a whistle alarm. The whistle alarm is very high pitched, and if your child dislikes loud noises, this will do the trick. Bedroom at night: Half door (I made ours), with lock on the outside. Then increase it to a 3/4 door as they get taller. Get a Nickel Bed for traveling. Once they figure out how to get out the 3/4 door - and they will - full door with a cute little window cut into it thats too big for them to get out of, too hight up to reach the lock on the outside, but always open to of course be able to hear them and be availble for them - and they will feel secure being able to see/hear you and be seen/heard.
i need help with an alarm system that my 4 yr old wont rip off/push the alarm button ...high functioning autism/very brilliant and he knows how to trick and pull off the alarms i was wondering if anyone has had good luck with a company or knows any type of alarm that will work that he cant trick..i dont want to go with adt or a normal high security system due to i cant afford a monthly fee...need door alarms and window alarms for indoors... i want my bed back i cant put him in his own room until i find something due to him getting up and getting into stuff or going outside naked...anyone have a system that will alert you when a door is opened or alarm is tricked..lookin over the net not having allot of luck
Can anyone tell me what to do to preven my 5 year old daughter from breaking her bed? I had 2 set of matresses in her room and she broken both of the set. Can somebody has a sujestion in this matter I will apresiate alot for the info. Thanks,
desprerate mom
I agree-I wish, too, that they had mentioned service dogs. We applied for and raised money and received a service dog for our twin boys who are 7 and who both have autism. He has enabled us to go and do and experience life as a family and for me to take the boys out alone for brief periods, too. This is vital when parents work opposite shifts or one is not always available to help.

A Kickstarter for green energyJanuary 7, 2013: 12:03 PM ET
Startup Mosaic is going national in its effort to raise money online to fund rooftop solar systems.
By Brian Dumaine, senior editor-at-large
FORTUNE -- By Internet standards, crowdfunding has been around forever. The idea to tap into online communities to raise money first became popular in 1997, when fans of the British rock group Marillion raised $60,000 to fund a U.S. tour for the band. Since then crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter have been used to raise money for everything from blogs to clothing design companies and independent films. Now investment firms are getting into the act.
Today Mosaic, an Oakland startup, announced that it is going national in its effort to raise money from online investors to fund rooftop solar systems. It is, in a sense, the first crowdfunded green investment firm. Says Co-founder Billy Parish, who previously had launched the Energy Action Coalition, a non-profit that gets youth involved in clean energy and climate solutions, "We're creating a new platform where people can profit from the clean energy revolution."
Each investor in Mosaic is promised a return on his or her investment, typically around 4% to 6% a year over 5 years. So far Mosaic has raised $1.1 million from 400 individuals to fund the installation of solar systems on twelve projects including a $40,000 system on a building housing an Oakland non-profit called the Youth Employment Partnership. Mosaic keeps a fee of 1% of the money raised, and its investors get a fixed return.
MORE: The automated home is one step closer
The two year-old company, which in addition to the money it has raised online, has received $3.4 million in seed money from San Francisco-based venture capitalist Sunil Paul of Spring Venture as well as others. Mosaic also got a $2 million Department of Energy grant in June 2012. Now it wants to scale. But there's a problem: the Securities and Exchange Commission. It's one thing to solicit small amounts of money from individuals and groups Mosaic knew. It's another to start peddling hundreds of millions in equity to the general public over the Internet.
Wanting to help entrepreneurs create jobs, Congress as part of the JOBS ACT created a provision for "cloud funding portals." President Obama signed it into law in April of 2012 and gave the SEC a deadline to create rules and guidelines to protect investors who want to invest in online outfits like Mosaic. The SEC has yet to issue their regulations.
In the meantime Mosaic has done an end run around the SEC by working with state securities laws. It can now offer its investment to anyone in California or New York. In the other states, investors have to be "accredited" which means hefty net worth and income requirements. (A net worth of over $1 million excluding one's house and an annual income of over $200,000.) If the SEC eventually approves cloud funding portals, investment companies like Mosaic could go national without registering in each state.
MORE: Teaching IBM's Watson the meaning of 'OMG'
If cloud funding gets the green light, it could eventually disrupt a financing model that so far has been the purview of big banks. "We like decentralized investing, says Parish, "Individuals can directly invest in clean energy projects and get a great return." So instead of putting money in the stock market, you'll be able to invest in companies like Mosaic and maybe even feel good about making the world a bit cleaner.
