In 1993, autistic advocate Jim Sinclair wrote "Don't Mourn For Us." It read "This is what we know, when you tell us of your fondest hopes and dreams for us: that your greatest wish is that one day we will cease to be… Don't mourn for us. We are alive. We are real." It appeared in the Autism Network International newsletter as an outline of a conference presentation they had given to parents of autistic children.
There are still many people and organizations who believe that autistics should be mourned for in life, rather than death; that there needs to be a way to find the 'normal' child who has been lost to autism, or prevent more autistic people from existing – cure culture. Cure culture creates dangerous dynamics, in which there is a strong focus on "fixing" autistic people, along with "battling" and "eradicating" autism. This culture also creates fear of autistic people and traits. One of the sources for the common cure culture we still see today lies in eugenics, a movement that gained popularity in the early 20th century.
It has been twenty-four years since "Don't Mourn for Us." We have made much progress. These include advances in representation, such as Julia the autistic Muppet and the company Apple putting out autism acceptance ads. Disability rights appeared on the political stage in a major way in 2016. The Autistic Self Advocacy Network, founded in 2006, has already become a significant player in national public policy. There have been pieces of legislation – like the 2010 Affordable Care Act – that benefit many autistic people, along with court rulings favoring disability rights and inclusive education. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued an HCBS settings rule in 2014 that aims to give people with disabilities support in real community settings. Lindt Chocolate stopped donating money from their chocolate bunnies to Autism Speaks. And there are more victories, large and small, I could name.
But some of the largest autism charities in the nation, such as Autism Speaks, are still ones that reject advocacy by autistics, and some people still believe in discredited theories of causation and quack cures. But more disturbing is the eugenics ideology being seen in US politics, and around the public conversation on disability – an example being immigration restriction. The ideas behind eugenics say that behind the moral failings of people – and of society – there is a hereditary cause. Some people, supporters of eugenics argue, are "born to be a burden on the rest." Conversely, supporters of eugenics also believe there are genetically and morally superior individuals.
As Sarah Jones writes for New Republic: "But eugenics, though discredited, has never been abandoned. In fact, the most powerful people in America appear to enthusiastically embrace the idea that humans can be divided into inherently superior and inferior specimens and treated accordingly… Of course, none of the people in Trump's inner circle would describe themselves as eugenicists. They would call themselves capitalists, patriots, and Christians." Examples include Trump's statements on genetic superiority, Steve Bannon's desire to "limit the vote to property owners," and Jeff Sessions' support for the 1924 Johnson-Reed Act – an immigration restriction law heavily influenced by eugenicists.
He sees my community as damaged goods. Recent reports indicate that, in addition to meeting privately with anti-vaccination groups, the Trump administration may convene a task force to relitigate the clear and settled science on this issue, potentially headed by noted anti-vaxxer Robert Kennedy Jr. Like so many of his policies, this isn't just an issue of a lack of respect for people with disabilities—we cannot forget that this dishonest and unscientific nonsense has a body count.
This administration espouses eugenicist views. This administration buys into dangerous causation theories. This administration sees us as a public burden. Eugenicist views run through so much of the history of cure culture and causation.
Eugenics is a threat to the autistic and disability communities, and it is a threat to so many others. This threat is palpable as the White House and Congress try to strip 24 million Americans, many of whom are disabled, of life-saving health insurance. It is clear in a leaked draft of an executive order targeting disabled immigrants and their families. We don't know if Jeff Sessions' Department of Justice will enforce the 1999 Olmstead ruling, which helps keep states moving toward community integration – along with the Medicare and Medicaid funding that is at risk. It is evident when the White House lights it up blue for Autism Speaks' brand of awareness rooted in harmful rhetoric and support for causation research.
But, as ASAN's statement on the White House lighting it up blue reads, "ASAN will not let our community be forced back to the too-recent time when the public consensus was that autistic people should not exist." I'm with them. The autistic community, and the disability community, must fight as we are able to against eugenicist and discriminatory policies and attempted actions. We cannot go back to being seen as nothing but a collection of causation theories, damaged and broken and in need of "fixing." And we must fight against any policies that promote prevention research, policies that tell us we should not be part of humanity's future. Because we are part of the future.

Nobody was onsite when we dropped off the truck. Sign in window said open, however doors were locked. We had to call and speak to a lady to figure out where to leave the Dolly's. This was a little after 1pm. Otherwise, this process was fairly easy.

I had a bad experience with check in over the phone with a uhaul rep who placed me on hold for almost 10 minutes. I was transferred to someone else who suggested I call the location which was closed. I asked if info was networked but the rep seemed bothered by my questions. because of the Christmas holiday there was not a record on file yet which I understand. I just think the the transfer and phone conversations could have been handled more professionally. I was instructed to drop off at a location that was closed past Dec. 26 which I had no idea and kept waiting for a check in confirmation which was unsettling.

How do you select colours for your interior and decoration projects? Which colours do you choose for the design of new products? Do you find it a difficult task? Combining colours is actually a fun challenge!
When selecting colours, you can easily prepare by using the chromatic NCS circle that lets you see all the hues at a glance. You can develop some interesting techniques for combining colours.
In need of some inspiration and interested to learn some techniques? Take a look at our workshops.
Do you like a harmonious and peaceful interior? Then choose tone-on-tone colour combinations. By using this technique you will realize some nice subtle nuances in the room.You can achieve this by selecting different nuances of a specific hue. When there are pronounced differences between the nuances, this colour combination will certainly attract more attention. You can also select nuances with the same whiteness, blackness or chromaticity of a specific hue. By applying this technique you will create an extraordinary beautiful and sophisticated interior.
Do you like lively, vivid and powerful colour combinations? Then go for the complementary colour combination. By applying this technique you will strengthen the colours.You can achieve this by selecting colours opposite each other on the chromatic circle. By using these contrasting colour combinations, both colours are strengthened. This results in a lively combination. The complementary technique can be realized with small colour accents, but also with larger areas if you are bold enough to experiment with colours.


If you still haven't gone to the cloud, you are probably using the USB drives quite often. Most of the laptops these days, at least the higher end ones, do not have a CD-ROM. Instead, they all have USB slots so that you can easily use USB devices. They are easy to use and quite helpful.
If you're still not familiar with them, here's all that you need to know about them.
This drive is a small data storage device. It is portable and can be used for transfer of data between different computers. These drives have no power source of their own and can be operated only when plugged in. USB drives can be purchased in different sizes, ranging from 1 GB to 512 GB. They serve the same purpose as of floppy or CDs. As the USB drives can be used more comfortably, they have replaced floppy disks and CDs over the years. Here are a few things about USB drives.
The main feature of a USB drive is to transfer data. Besides that, it is used to store data externally, speed up the computer by boosting the ram and creating some space for the computer to run programs. It is used to run portable apps, troubleshooting and also to run an alternate operating system.
A hard drive is an external hard drive. It is similar to an internal drive except that it has a casing to protect it. It stores data by using disks. On the other hand, USB flash drive is also an external storage device. Unlike hard disks, it is in a solid state which means you have less chance of losing data. Some people also refer to these as a keychain drive.
A USB drive can be used as a key to lock and unlock a computer. It can be used to revive a virus hidden system. It can be used to boot an operating system. It can be used to run portable apps, games and utilities. To list, there are many more.
The small size of the USB drives to assist portability is not only their advantage but it is also a disadvantage as it can be easily lost. Over the time they become corrupted and unreadable. These devices can easily corrupt the system as they can be a storehouse of viruses, especially if you do not have a good antivirus system installed.


Biswendu Bhattacharjee, Udaipur (Tripura), Apr 7: A 19 years old Rahul Reang, a first-time voter of Shantibazar constituency in South Tripura has led hundred of tribal villagers from remote Puticherri hamlet to Prime Minister's election rally at Sports Complex here early in the morning.
According to the program, Modi is scheduled to address the rally at around 1400 hrs but Rahul reached the spot along with the villagers at around 0800 hrs that appeared to be a problem for the security men to allow them inside the rally ground, as security apparatus were not ready.
A policeman at the gate prevent the team and asked them to wait till clearance has been given by the Special Protection Group (SPG) who had taken over the charge of ground from yesterday. The policeman tried to convince the rally hoppers that the security protocol of VVIP's rally like Prime Minister doesn't permit open entry and exit of the people because of security reasons that made them little disappointed.
"We have been asked to come early and occupy the seat in front raw if wish to see Modiji closely and clearly. We assembled in a school ground at 0530 in the morning along with family members and children. We contributed personally for the arrangement of refreshment for us early in the morning through a local vendor and reached fast to occupy best seats in the ground but still not allowed to get in," Rahul told UNI.
Rahul has appeared higher secondary exam completed last month and enrolled this year as a voter. But he has been a fan of Narendra Modi. "I became Modi's fan three years ago when first listened to his Mon Ki Bat broadcast in radio on human potential of India. The speech was so encouraging for me – I went to repeat the same to my friends in the school and in the village. Gradually, the local BJP leaders offered me to work for them before last year assembly election though I was not a voter and I did campaign for BJP," Rahul stated.
As soon as the party entrusted him the responsibility to accompany the villagers of Puticherri to PM's rally, Rahul personally visited almost all 154 families of the village with the invitation of Modi's rally. Responding to his call as many as 167 people including ladies and children gathered in the village this morning to come to Modi's rally and he arranged refreshment for all and brought all of them in the ground first.
The historical city Udaipur has been decorated with saffron flags and festoons to offer a rousing welcome to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his brief visit for the election campaign. Besides, mobilization of hundreds of men in uniform to ensure flawless security of Modi's rally, thousands of people lined up in both side of the roads between Chandrapur helipad to Sports Complex to welcome the prime minister.

Acadia Trip Report Part I – Around the Park Loop Road
December 17, 2015 Parkasaurus	4 Comments
The rock coastline and tidepools are just some of the many attractions at Acadia National Park.
"Daddy, can we go look for sea snails and barnacles again?"
After just one day in Acadia National Park, those were the words of my four-year-old, the Toothy T-Rex, which I would hear often during the rest of our week there. Acadia National Park is a great family-friendly National Park for families with young children, and even after one week there in July 2015, we left already thinking about when we would be able to return.
The heart of Acadia National Park is located on Mount Desert Island, which many locals pronounce Mount Des-er-et, in eastern Maine. Its about a 3.5 hour drive from the New Hampshire border, or a little over an hour south from the Bangor, Maine airport. The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge, and the national park itself only has about half the land on the island – as well as some land on a few surrounding islands and the Schoodic Peninsula.
For those collecting Passport cancellations, the addition of a new stamp in Setember 2015 means that Acadia National Park now offers 13 cancellation locations. Of those, 8 are located along or around the Park's loop road, which takes visitors around the eastern half of Mount Desert island and represents the core of the park:
Thompson Island
Sieur du Monts Nature Center
Thunder Hole
Blackwoods Campground
Jordan Pond
Cadillac Mountain
I'll talk about the other locations in Part II.
The first three locations are all places to plan your trip to Acadia. The Thompson Island information station is located right on Highway 3 as you cross the bridge over the Mount Desert Narrows from the mainland, and is the best place to stop if you are heading to the less-visited west side of the island. Bar Harbor is the famous gateway community for Acadia, and is the original Passport stamp for this park going all the way back to 1986. Ironically, this stamp is located at the park's Hull's Cove Visitor Center, the main visitor center for the park, and which is located one town to the north of Bar Harbor in Hull's Cove. Finally, the Village Green stamp can be found at the small National Park Service information station located right on the Village Green in the center of downtown Bar Harbor, and is also the convenient terminus for the free Island Explorer shuttle buses that can take you just about anywhere on Mount Desert Island. The buses are a great option for planning one-way hiking or biking trips, or simply to avoid the cost and hassle of finding parking in the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.
At low tide, you can walk on the ocean floor on the sand bar that gives Bar Habor its name.
The town of Bar Harbor takes its name from the large sand bar that connects the town to Bar Island at low tide. Thus, one of the real highlights of any visit to Acadia is a sand bar walk out to Bar Island. The sandbar becomes walkable around 1.5-2 hours before low tide,and remains passable until 1.5-2 hours after low tide. The National Park Service Information Station at the Villlage Green will contain the latest advisories on when to plan your walk – and most importantly, when to plan your return, lest you be stuck on Bar Island until the next low tide.
As it turns out, Bar Island is owned by the National Park Service, and so is part of the National Park itself. On the island, there is a short one mile hiking trail to the highest point of the island, which provides views looking back on the town of Bar Harbor and the rest of Mount Desert Island. Or, if you are travelling with young children, you can just spent your time on the sand bar and on Bar Island looking for sea snails and barnacles, as we did.
The Sieur du Mont Spring in the foreground and the Spring House in the background is referred as the "heart of Acadia" by the National Park Service.
Just south of Bar Harbor on Highway 3 is the Sieur deMonts Nature Center. Like most nature centers, this stop is primarily geared towards kids – with exhibits on the flora and fauna of the park. For adults, however, two highlights are to see the natural freshwater spring and the nearby spring house structure. The spring house was built in 1909 by George Dorr, who would go on to became Acadia National Park's first superintendent when the park was established in 1916. Because of the role Dorr and other Mount Desert Island landowners played in getting Acadia established as the first U.S. national park east of the Great Lakes (*), the National Park Service calls the area around the Sieur de Monts spring the "heart of Acadia."
Continuing south on the Loop Road is the very popular Precipice Trail – a short, but challenging climb up Champlain Mountain using chains, iron hand-holds, and ladders. At less than one mile in length, it is one of the shorter trails in the park, but is certainly not for the faint of heart! Unfortunately, during our visit, the trail was closed due to nesting Peregrine Falcons, which is often the case for a good portion of the summer. However, when the trail is closed, National Park Service Rangers provide a spotting scope for viewing the nesting Falcons, making the location worth a stop regardless.
Next up is the Sand Beach – one of the few sandy beaches available on the island. Sand Beach is also the northern end of the 1.6 mile Ocean Trail. This is a good place to get out of the car and explore the tide pools, although on our trip we preferred to explore tide pools at some of the more out-of-the-way beaches away from the crowds on the Park Loop Road.
The area around Thunder Hole on a foggy day. Come a few hours before high tide to hear the water "thunder."
The next stop around the Park Loop Road is the location known as Thunder Hole, where the waves associated with an incoming tide can produce a loud sound. According to the National Park Service, the best time to hear the "thunder" is about two hours prior to high tide. Unfortunately, we did not time out trip so precisely, so only encountered a little gurgling of water. The location is so iconic, however, that on a summer day, you can expect to find a decent crowd here at any tide level.
The Park Loop Road begins to turn to the west once you reach Otter Point. This is also the southern end of the Ocean Trail, which will take you back to Sand Beach. Additionally, if you are a completist in pursuing the Passport cancellations, you can exit the Park Loop Road here to reach the Blackwoods Campground. The Blackwoods Campground is the most-popular campground in the Park as it places you close to all the activity of Bar Harbor, as well the Park Loop Road. However, the Blackwoods Campground is not directly accessible from the Park Loop Road, you can only reach it from Route 3 south of the Sieur de Monts Nature Center, from the Otter Cliff Road at Otter Point, or from Route 3 heading west from the village of Seal Harbor.
The Park Loop Road continues west from Otter Point and passes just north of Seal Harbor. Here you can access the Wildwood Stables, which is the only authorized vendor of carriage rides within Acadia National Park. The carriage roads are perhaps Acadia National Park's most-unique feature. Park benefactor John D. Rockefeller, Jr. envisioned carriage rides as an ideal form of outdoor recreation. Thus, he supervised the construction of carriage roads, with no motorized vehicle traffic allowed, between 1913 and 1940, and then donated them to the federal government for inclusion in Acadia National Park.

In the present day, however, you'll see far more bicycles on most of the carriage roads than actual carriages. However, in the vicinity of Seal Harbor, where the Rockefeller Estate is located, there is still a section of carriage roads that remains outside the National Park boundaries, and which are reserved for the exclusive use of horse-drawn carriages – no bicycles allowed!
Just as iconic as the carriage roads is Acadia's beautiful Jordan Pond, and the nearby Jordan Pond House restaurant. The small pond and the nearby "North Bubble" and "South Bubble" that so strikingly accent the scenery are both legacies of the sculpting power of glaciers on the landscape during the last ice age. During our week in Acadia we did not find a prettier scene than standing on the south shores of Jordan Pond on a sunny day. In fact it was remarkable how on some days, even when the coast was wrapped in a layer of scenery-killing fog, the air was nonetheless bright and sunny just a short ways inland at Jordan Pond.

The food at the Jordan Pond House is almost just as much part of the experience as the stunning views. The current structure dates back to 1982, after the original Jordan Pond House was destroyed in a fire in 1979 – but travelers have been served here going back all the way to 1896. In particular, the signature item here is a local treat called the "popover." Popovers are a puffed pastry, with about the consistency of a croissant, that are best served straight out of the oven and with a side of jam. As you might image, Jordan Pond House can be extremely popular, especially during meal times on warm sunny days. However, a good option for getting the Jordan Pond House experience outside of traditional meal times is to visit for "afternoon tea," where they will serve you a personal pot of tea and a pair of popovers.
The final stop of the Park Loop Road tour is Cadillac Mountain, which includes a spur road that takes your car all the way to the top. At just 1,500 feet above sea level it is in some respects barely even a mountain at all. Nonetheless, it is the highest point on the Atlantic Coast, and thanks to a quirk of ecology that has left the summit large tree-free, it is able to provide breath-taking views in nearly every direction. Additionally, thanks to the 3.5 mile summit road, some of the best times to visit are either just before sunset, or better yet, just before sunrise – one of the first sunrise visible in the United States. As we were travelling with two young children, we opted for a sunset view, but even still we were not disappointed.
A sunset view from the top of Cadillac Mountain is a great cap to any day in Acadia National Park.
Continue the Adventure in Part II: Visiting sites further afield in Acadia National Park.
(*) – Update 30 January 2016 – This post originally stated that Acadia National Park was the first national park east of the Mississippi. An alert reader correctly pointed out that several Canadian national parks were established between Yellowstone in 1872 and 1916. Additionally, Mackinac Island in Michigan was briefly a U.S. national park between 1875 and 1895 and Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park in Kentucy was actually established as Abraham Lincoln National Park just one month before Acadia on July 17, 1916. It wouldn't lose the "national park" designation until 1939 when it went through the first of three name changes, before reaching its current name in 2009. The post has been updated to reflect this.

November and December New Stamps
December 14, 2015 Parkasaurus	Leave a comment

I wasn't able to get a new stamps post out last month, so here are the new additions reported by Eastern National for both November and December, starting with the new stamps for the actual Units of the National Park System:
Manhattan Project NHP | Los Alamos, NM
Manhattan Project NHP | Oak Ridge, TN
Manhattan Project NHP | Hanford, WA
Potomac Heritage NST | Rock Creek Park, DC
Lowell NHP | Guard Locks / Francis Gate
National Parks of Southern West Virginia | West Virginia
The big news this month is the official addition of Manhattan Project National Historical Park to the National Park System, bringing the total number of national parks to 409. This new national park will be unique in having three separate locations, scattered almost clear across the country from each other. In Oak Ridge, Tennessee the park will include the research facilities that were used to pioneer the process of uranium enrichment. They can currently be visited from June through August on a regular weekday tour offered at noon daily by the American Museum of Science and Energy. In Hanford, Washington the park includes numerous historic buildings associated with the top secret Manhattan Project. The most notable of these is the Hanford B Reactor that produced the material for the first atomic bomb, and which can be visited as part of a four hour tour offerred regularly from April to September. Finally, the sites in Los Alamos, New Mexico include historic buildings associated with the design and assembly of both the Trinity test site bomb, as well as the "Little Boy" bomb that was ultimately dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.
The Civil War Defenses Trail passes through Rock Creek Park and connects to the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. This segment of the trail is from the Fort DeRussy Unit near the Rock Creek Park Nature Center. Photo from 2013.
The Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail has added a new stamp for Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, which is itself its own national park. Surprisingly, Rock Creek Park isn't particularly close to the Potomac River, located about two miles away at its closest point. However, the Civil War Defenses of Washington Trail, which passes through Rock Creek Park, is a connecting trail to the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. The addition of this cancellation gives the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail a whopping 46 cancellations along the trail network.
Lowell National Historical Park preserves the story of the Industrial Revolution in a historic mill town outside of Boston. In recent years, several other national parks telling the story of the Industrial Revolution have been established, most of which have cited the success of Lowell NHP as a model. One of the remarkable features about Lowell NHP is the system of canals that were established to connect water from the Merrimack River to the various factories and cotton mills in the town. The Guard Locks at the Francis Gate are at the NPS-managed lockhouse along one of those canals, and this stamp replaces an existing stamp at that location.
The New River comprises one of the three National Parks of Southern West Virginia. This photo is from a time of especially high water levels in 2004.
Finally, the National Parks of Southern West Virginia is a new group and re-branding of the New River Gorge National River, the Gauley River National Recreation Area, and the Bluestone National Scenic River. All thee of these river-based national parks are located within a fifty-mile stretch of each other, about 30-60 miles east of Charleston, West Virginia. The centerpiece of the three parks is the New River Gorge National River, which contains most of the visitor facilities and the must-see scenic landmarks, as well as great whitewater rafting for all skill levels. The Gauley River National Recreation Area is designated downstream of the Summersville Dam. It is famed for its dam-release days in the fall, when the release of water from the dam produces some of the most-challenging whitewater east of the Mississippi River in the United States. Finally, the Bluestone National Scenic River is a completely undeveloped stretch of river that has been left largely in its natural state.
These three national rivers have always been managed by a single Superintendent. However, there's long been concern that the designations national river and national scenic river and national recreation area don't always strongly suggest national park or National Park Service to the casual visitor or tourist. The hope is that the rebranding as National Parks of Southern West Viginia will bring more attention to the fact that these rivers, particularly the New River Gorge, are part the U.S. National Park System.
The Santa Fe Trail Marker in the Plaza de Santa Fe, located just outside the Palace of the Governors and the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Three new stamps were issued here this month. Photo from 2010.
In addition to the above stamps, a few stamps have also been released for National Park Service partnership programs.
Mississippi Delta NHA | Delta Blues Museum
Pacific Northwest NST | Sedro-Wooley, WA
Pacific Northwest NST | Whitefish, MT
Old Spanish NHT | Palace of the Governors, NM
Old Spanish NHT | New Mexico History Museum, NM
Santa Fe NHT | New Mexico History Museum, NM
The Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area includes 18 counties in northwest Mississippi. This area of Mississippi is, of course, most famous for being the home of the musical style known as the blues. The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi is Mississippi's oldest music museum, and tells the story of how the blues originated in northwest Mississippi's cultural landscape.
The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail is a relatively new National Scenic Trail, having just been designated in 2009. The trail's designated route extends from Olympic National Park in Washington to Glacier National Park in Montana. These are its first Passport stamps, and will be at the headquarters of the Trail's non-profit partner association in the town of Sedro-Woolley, Washington and at the offices of the Montana Wilderness Association in the town of Whitefish, Montana.
The Old Spanish National Historic Trail and Santa Fe National Historic Trail commemorate 19th Century trading routes with New Mexico, to California and to the United States, respectively. The Palace of the Governors was originally built for Spain's administration of New Mexico in Santa Fe, and is now part of the New Mexico State History Museum, the main building of which is located next door. The Santa Fe Trail had previously already been issued a stamp for the Palace of the Governors, so now both Trails have both stamps.
This month's additions mean that there now 1,985 active Passport cancellations to collect. Excluding special event and anniversary cancellations, there are 1,887 cancellations available.
