My biggest concern/challenge is that I work full-time (I'm a pastor) and have two children...and now that I know why I get so tired and achey...I'm wondering how to care for myself and what I can do to increase my energy level and reduce my stress while still doing everything I need to do.
I would love advice...Thanks!
One thing you'll hear from most of us is to pace, pace, pace.
If you do have fibro--its chronic and although you may have some lessening of symptoms and maybe a remission of sorts at some point-- its permanent.
It also tends to move around so while your back is bothering you know--several months from now it may be hips or shoulders or knees or ankles--even elbows/wrists etc.
You could get migraines, IBS, all kinds of things and depression is a biggie too.
So -- be prepared by spending some time learning and you'll be ahead of the curve.
A lot of us use vitamins--especially D & I like B's too.
Some use various other supplements.
There are all kinds of RX and non-RX pain regimins.
I use gabapentin but I also use an antideppressant and celebrex to help with pain. I also use devices like wrist guards, arch supports etc.
You should find exercise that works for you--stretching, walking, water exercise are popular.
some people find help with special diets--hasn't worked for me--but I have friends who swear by gluten free.
Stress is huge-- you really have to learn to be kind to yourself--and it is not easy. Just because you have fibro does not mean people will automatically understand your need for rest or pacing or bowing out of some things.
Anyhow hope that was a start for you, will add you to my prayer list and be sure to come back and join in--as you can get a lot of help here!
I haven't told anyone other than my husband yet...I figure I won't until I need to, especially in terms of my churches (I'm the pastor of two small churches). I am trying to deal with my stress in a better way...and reduce my stress level as much as possible through good self-care. I already have a therapist, which helps.
Thanks for the tip about vitamins! I will start those...I am on a few other medications for ADD and depression. I just started the Gabapenin on Friday, so we'll see how that helps.
It is interesting that you're on meds for depression and ADD because a couple of meds for those conditions are often used to treat FM. For example Cymbalta is an antidepressant often used for FM. It affects the serontonin and norepinephrine neurotransmitters. And some people take ritalin or adderall to increase their energy because of the chronic fatigue.
So my suggestion is to read as much as you can about meds for FM that might work for all conditions! I obviously don't know what you're on now, but maybe some adjustments could be made to help with all conditions.
Many people find gabapentin helpful. I personally did not. I only say that because as you will find out, FM is a very diverse conditions. Everyone is different. Never let a doctor, a friend, or even a spouse put you into a "one treatment fits all" box. If a treatment is not working, you can try something else. Also, if you don't like the side effects, you can try something else.
It sounds like you already have a good foundation in place. This site is one of the best places for information and support!
I would also encourage you to be sure and ask your doctor to check your Vitamin D level, which is important to a lot of people these days. Low Vitamin D can cause some people to have additional pain and it can also affect other illnesses as well. It is just a simple blood test...but you must ASK the doctor to run it...as it is NOT included in the normal blood work that the doctors do.
I would also like to say that there is no magic pill that works for everyone. We are all different and what works for one may or may not work for you. It does take you doing your own trial and error process to find out what makes a difference for you.
Most of us FMers have multiple health issues and sometimes I think this is why the doctors have problems in knowing how to treat us.
I do want to tell you also that I had lower back pain which started one day out of no where. I thought I had kidney stones (and I did) but the doctor said that they were not causing my lower back pain. My family doctor sent me to several specialists and no one could help me. I am now taking P5P which is a form of Vitamin B 6. This *controls* my lower back pain and as long as I take it about every 24 hours it works to ease my lower back pain. You can find this at a vitamin store.
I am one of the FMers here who has learned how to *control my FM pain* by taking vitamins and supplements and using other things as well. A heating pad is good for places which continue to hurt. Stopain Spray is also good to use. (you can find it at walmart) Drinking plenty of water every day is a must for me and watching what I eat is also important. Doing gentle exercises and/or stretches also helps to keep the muscles from getting stiff and hurting. Continue to move, even if you are not feeling good. This helps. Getting enough sleep at night and trying to limit your stress might also help.
Taking a hot shower at night using lavender bath salts right before bed time might help you so that you can sleep better. Getting a foam mattress topper might also be something you can look into, if you are having problems with sleeping.
I have learned how to *control my FM pain* but I have NOT found anything yet that has helped the chronic fatigue that I have. I hope you will be able to find something that works for you and share it with the rest of us.
OK...I hope this helps some.
Be sure and check out the info under *tips* and *resources*...and be sure and review the *member toolbox* as well.
Take care and good luck.
You are getting good advice already! One other thought is to look at what anti depressant u are taking and possibly switch. I have tried many, and I'm finding good luck w/ Cymbalta & Wellbutrin combo. Cymbalta is also FDA approved for FM, and Wellbutrin can also help with attentional issues as seen in ADD.
Good luck. Meg
So glad to hear your PCP is knowledgeable and works with patients with fibro. So many PCP don't get it and will not be able to DX their patents, who go onto suffer the fibro symptoms for many months, years even until they get to a Rheumy who can DX their fibro.
You've been given a great deal of good info already so won't add much to it. I do suggest that your Google all things fibro. Vit D3 and supplements that help with fibro symptoms. Keep in mind that one size does not fit all with fibro. Some things are proven to work, others work for some and not at all on others. It's a trail and error things... so try things for size.
And I too take Gabapentin daily. I was able to go on and off it during the warmer months of the year but as it's been such a cool, no typical weather year ( 2013) I have had to use Gabapentin most of the year and since fall and winter is typically when I go on it again I'll be on it until March. When hopefully it will be warmer this year and I go wean myself off of it until October 2014.
Also keep in mind that weather is a player here with fibro symptoms, aches and pain. You will feel, for the most part better in the warmer months, ( may not always be true ) and more sympatric and achy during cooler months with rain, cold and snow. Not always the case, but most times this is the pattern fibro takes. Knowing you will feel these symptoms during these months ( times ) you can take extra D for a week or so, more supplements that help ward off pain, etc symptoms. Some of us have heating pads that work well for us, other use, ( I do ) OTT-LITE which helps give us like sunlight during the winter months when being out doors and sunlight is not a daily option. But as I said it's trail and error until you find what fits you and your symptoms.
Will close this here. Again, welcome to our family.. feel free to post daily. Please join MiMi's Roll Call. It's a daily check where we say Hi and journal our day's plans with others. Nice way to keep it family.
Gentle hugs, Linda R
For me the medication they give for FM just made things worse for me. I did not need the added side effects on top of what I was already dealing with. Mentally it was a nightmare for me being on those, so now I only take Ibuprofen 800 (3x daily).
I am not saying I am pain free by any means, but I think for me working keeps my mind preoccupied. I do take B12 & Vit D, however, I also take thyroid medication.
Posting again...
I take:
Gabentin 300 mg x 2 and 600 mg at bedtime
Cymbalta 60 mg
Wellbutrin (bupriopion) 100 mg x 2
Vit D 5000 IU daily
Vit B12 - can't remember the dose
Acetyl-L-Carnitine -- I think it's 500 mg x 2
Ibuprofen as needed -- helps some types of pain, not others
Klonopin as needed to sleep or for breakthru anxiety.
This seems to work pretty ok for me. FM still has ups and downs though. And as others said, we are all different and what works for one may not for another.
I feel compelled to comment on your statement: "I'm wondering how to care for myself and what I can do to increase my energy level and reduce my stress while still doing everything I need to do." Yes, we are all wondering that, too!
Mary commented on this above, and I think others touched on it, too. I think most of us have been right where you are and unfortunately have found the answer is...you can't. Honestly, if you have FM, it is near impossible. You probably really can't care for yourself and reduce stress and continue to do everything you currently do. Something will have to give. This realization is HARD to take and makes us angry and full of grief, but we owe it to you to tell it to you straight, bc we have all been there.
You have to set limits, pace yourself, switch activities regularly (from mental to physical to emotional type & also from high to medium to low intensity), rest before you're tired, exercise (but not to excess), and find a treatment regimen that works for you and then you will probably start to feel better. But... you first have to stop the push-crash cycle that gets you sick in the first place and/or makes you worse.
The blessing of FM (yes, I said it, people ... a BLESSING!!) is it causes us to take an inventory of our priorities, to commit only things that are most important because that's all we can manage and stay healthy (ier). It also helps us not sweat the small stuff because I will be damned (excuse language) if I am going to let stupid things or stupid people use up what little energy I have. I save what little I have for my family and my faith and the few things I love to do and can still do. And actually, it's still a pretty good life.
It's a journey getting here, but we are all taking it together.
Others in our FMily...talk me down if you think this is off base, but as MiMi says, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Love and soft gentle hugs, Meg K.

I made minor adjustments to this and it was fantastic! It was a wonderful earthy yet spicy comfort food on a cold Sunday night. I used brown rice instead of white, chicken stock instead of water, and omitted carrot although it seems appropriate for this recipe. I sauteed some red bell pepper and celery instead. I chose to make this in a slow cooker. Saute the veggies and kielbasa first, add to slow cooker with dry lentils, spinach and about 4 c chicken stock/broth. Add brown rice for last hour of cooking. Next time I will try adding some cumin and topping with grated parmesan at the end. (tip from Giada).
My family really enjoyed this one. I did make one alteration though. I switched the amounts of chicken broth and water (6 cups chicken broth - 2 cups water). And for next time I think I will be adding a bit of garlic (as that should go in EVERYTHING)...and will cut the pepper flakes in half. It wasn't that spicy if you only had one bowl - the second one had our noses running away. It was wonderful with some buttered peasant bread.
Very tasty. I didn't understand the rationale behind cooking the rice separately, so I just added it with the lentils. Also, I reversed the amount of broth and water. Hearty and healthy.

.. also not convinced he's the athlete that could elevate the LB position.
The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Draft Profile: LSU's Minter wants to 'go through you'
Indianapolis — He plays with a nasty temperament, one that's necessary to survive and thrive in the SEC. In sum, LSU's Kevin Minter calls himself "one of those tough guys."
"Passionate about what I do," Minter said. "I feel like I play the game they way it's meant to be played. …I'm a pretty intense guy on the field. I don't go around you, I go through you."
Manti Te'o hogged the headlines during the season and then again at the NFL scouting combine. He's the linebacker that drew an unprecedented swarm of media attention to the podium at Lucas Oil Stadium. Media members staked out seats. They sprinted through the lobby and into the main room upon his arrival. Te'omania hasn't died down.
Minter? His arrival to an adjacent table one day later barely registered. Sitting down, he addressed a handful of reporters. A team looking for a violent linebacker without the catfish baggage will take a long look at Minter. The early entry had 130 tackles (15 for loss) and four sacks last season on the Tigers' defense. Like Te'o, Minter did not impress scouts in the 40-yard dash today. He ran a 4.81, a tick better than Te'o's 4.82
But also, not all linebackers approach the position like Minter.
"Some people can be that intense on the field, some people just don't need to," said Minter whose 25 reps on the bench press ranked seventh among linebackers. "They're talented enough that they don't have to. It's just the way I am."
Take for example, Minter's game against Florida last season. LSU lost, 14-6, on a very humid, very muggy day in Baton Rouge. His value to LSU's defense was obvious. When Minter exited that game with cramps, his team led, 6-0. Inside the locker room, Minter was given intravenous fluids for both legs. And when he returned, the Tigers were trailing, 7-6.
Minter played through severe exhaustion and pain to make 20 tackles — one shy of a school record. His two sacks and one forced fumble kept LSU in the game. At the Combine, Minter has been talking to teams about this experience against Florida.
"I was sweating profusely," Minter said. "To be honest with you, it was so humid out there. I think it was 80-90% humidity outside. It was a struggle but it's kind of what we go through in Baton Rouge. It's nothing different. We were just out there for a lot of plays and it caught up with me.
"My team was depending on me to be out there and make a lot of calls and play well, so that's what I did."
Minter hasn't played in a 3-4 defense since high school, but says he'd be comfortable in any scheme. Initially at LSU, Minter didn't watch nearly enough tape. Teammate Kelvin Sheppard encouraged him to get into the film room more and it paid off. Pro Football Weekly projects Minter as a potential second-round pick. Depending on what the Packers do with A.J. Hawk, he'll be one possibility in Green Bay.
As of Sunday evening, Minter hadn't talked to Green Bay yet but did say the two sides had informal talks.
The Packers also have two inside linebackers returning from season-ending injuries — Desmond Bishop (hamstring) and D.J. Smith (knee). Considering a lack of depth at the inside linebacker position, the Packers may feel compelled to address the position early on. A decision on Hawk will likely dictate their plans.
Overall, the Packers' defense has taken some heat for how the last two seasons ended. A lack of size and toughness hurt Green Bay against New York and San Francisco. A player like Minter would make sense.
"I get into it," Minter said. "I enjoy the game. You can tell when I'm out there playing."

I think Minter would be one of the better 1st round picks the Packers could make, IF he falls. Not convinced he'll be there @ 26.
.. also not convinced he's the athlete that could elevate the LB position.Hide replies
Agreed mel if he falls nab him...
He would be awesome compliment for Bishop both can terrorize defended and give the packers what they need to return to championship glory
Change defended to offenses
I like the idea of a Bishop-Minter combo. Better than the present available options, IMO.
But this D needs to replace Woodson. Who matches up with these freak 260lb TE's? Minter can't. So if he's drafted, they would have to add a cover DB, whether CB or S. Otherwise, they need to find a freakish LB.
Pittsburgh, San Fran and Baltimore have been the predominant 3-4's for a reason. Polamalu, Reed, Willis & Bowman have given them a dimension the Packers will lack without a guy of Woodson's ilk.
Certainly not going to be easy to replace.
You draw a great point mel. We are still at question rather Jennings or Mcmillan can step up. I say not next season but maybe 2014. We have our guys at CB but who will play along side Burnett. I can see us drafting a S in the 2-3 rounds plenty of talent I think that will or should I say SHOULD be there. Tough decision as always when it comes to whom u should draft in the first round. The other question is who would fall toys worthy of drafting instead of minter if Minter so happens to be available?
.. I will say this for Minter; he may be the type of guy where the measurables don't matter. He was a dominant player in the conference with the best athletes/potential pros. Clearly, he's got "it"
I can see him being a 10-plus year starter as a Packer. In a defense that may not be completely finished with their transistion, he obviously fills a need.
Dang it! Change toys to that's..... darn touch screen typing
Why don't you two just get together for a beer?
Want to join us Manti?
kool, to really muck up things in this day and age you need a computer. As far as those that thumbed you down on those , let ye who is without typos cast the first byte.
Wow the thumbs caper strikes again.
Thanks old66 yeah got a kindle so I can go anywhere and keep up with the packers. Wow even mel got a thumbs down tough crowd tonight. Don't understand we are just discussing the guys chances and the fact he could be a decent pick.
Mel, I think he will definitely be there at 26 in the first but I agree he will not upgrade the athleticism at ILB so I don't see why they would draft him.
I don't like him as a player, and I hope the Packers don't draft him. He looks stiff, slow, doesn't do a great job of wrapping up, and doesn't seem to have great instincts. He did a nice job of shedding blocks, and he is aggressive going for forced fumbles. I am curious to see how he does in the pros, but my guess is that he won't do a lot.
This is the guy I want in the first; he's instinctive, tough, and makes tons of plays...the opposite of HawkHide replies
I like Minter a lot, but that would give us two slow guys who can hit (Bishop being the other).
I think we need someone who can fly, since we can't hang with athletic QB's right now. We need a sideline-to-sideline type who is also a big hitter.
lol, I don't see how you can think that. In fact, I think he will end up worse than Hawk in the pros. He is slower than hawk, looks just as stiff as Hawk, and doesn't have any better instincts than Hawk. Look at some of th youtube videos, so many times you see him run past where the ball is going, and one of two things happens. He either gets back and gets a shoulder on the ball carrier enough to get credit for a 1/2 tackle, or he gets swallowed up and run out of the play. Two of his sacks came against Florida where he had a semi-sized hole to run through. He wasn't credited with a single FF, but it appeared as though he had one in the same Florida game. He had 130 tackles last year, but only 55 of them were solo. Compare that to Ogletree, who I think is a better tackler, who had 112 tackles with 64 of them being solo in 3 fewer games. BTW, I don't think they should draft Ogletree in the first round either, but that has more to do with his inability to stay out of trouble.
Wait until the 3rd round and pick up Bostic from Florida; he'll be a better pro than Minter.

Potato Patch
From OpenwaterpediaFarallon Islands. It is an expanse of relatively shallow reef covering several square miles, with water depths ranging from 23 to 36 feet.
The Potato Patch is the northernmost area of San Francisco Bar alluvial silt deposits. Waves breaking over the shoal are visible at low tides from the coastal hills in the Golden Gate National Park.
It is an extraordinarily rough area of living hell for boaters, fishermen and, especially, open water swimmers.
Surfline describes the area as "creepy - a minefield of shifting, throwing peaks, extending from a couple of hundred yards offshore all the way to the horizon. During a giant swell in the Potato Patch, you will stare at nature in all its beautiful evil."
Santa Cruz adventurers Perry Miller and Doug Hansen had a tow-in surfing session in the Potato Patch using their Jet Ski. "It was the devil's playground out there."
Origin of Name
The Potato Patch was named for the 1800s potato farms near Bolinas Lagoon which shipped to markets in San Francisco: "Occasionally a potato boat would capsize on the sand bar, spilling its load..." (Doris Sloan, Geology of the SF Bay Region, UCPress 2006, p.121.)

Most of the sites are within one mile of the rail stations planned in Ashburn for Metro's Silver Line .
"Loudoun offers not one or two, but at least eight qualified sites for an FBI headquarters," said Scott York, chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in a press release. "These greenfield sites offer the lowest cost per square foot, and the highest flexibility, of any sites under consideration for the new FBI headquarters."
Loudoun is the only county along the 23-mile Silver Line route with Greenfield opportunities, according to the release. The new FBI site requires 40-55 acres for its planned 2.1 million-square-foot facility, which will house 11,000 employees. Loudoun has more than 1,400 acres of available land near the Metro rail route.
"Obsolete is not an option when it comes to building a new FBI headquarters," Supervisor Matt Letourneau, chairman of the board's Economic Development Committee, said in the release. "The build-to-suit opportunities available in Loudoun County offer flexibility and future expansion capabilities that simply aren't possible by retrofitting an existing facility or by building in a more constrained location. Building to suit offers better cost efficiency and delivers the highest return on investment to the GSA, the FBI and taxpayers."
Such custom construction would serve the federal agency for decades, Jim Herbert, Loudoun County's Business Development Officer said.
"Another important benefit of building-to-suite is viability," Herbert explained. "The new FBI headquarters must be viable beyond the next 30 or 40 years. It must have enough acreage to provide security, flexibility and sustainability for the foreseeable future."
In explaining the FBI's technology needs, Herbert noted that Loudoun County is D.C.'s technology corridor, home to the largest number of data centers on the East Coast. Up to 70 percent of the world's Internet traffic flows through Loudoun data centers every day.
"The nature of the data center business requires the utmost in facility security," Herbert stated. "Likewise, the FBI headquarters must be built to satisfy ISC Level V security specifications. The fact that the data center industry is thriving in Loudoun points to the fact that we know how to do security. It's another compelling reason why the FBI should locate here."
Loudoun's announcement included the following caveat: "The Loudoun locations being recommended as possible FBI HQ sites are not inclusive of all possible Loudoun sites the GSA and FBI may want to consider. Site owners below may or may not respond to a possible subsequent GSA Request for Proposals. They are additional resources for independent comments about Loudoun sites."

Senior Jackie English completed her regular-season career with the University at Buffalo swim team on a winning note, though the rest of her team wouldn't be as fortunate Saturday.
English, a graduate of Kenmore East High School, teamed with Rachel Sorg, Danielle Gervais and Kahla Walkinshaw to win the 200-yard medley relay in a time of one minute, 52.51 seconds in the opening event of UB's senior day match with Cornell at the Alumni Arena Natatorium.
Freshman Megan Stratton and junior Tess Johnson had season-best showings for the Bulls (3-9 overall, 0-7 Mid-American Conference), finishing the three-meter diving competition with scores of 219.52 and 180.15, respectively, good enough for second and third places.
Junior Julie Marcotte scored her fifth-straight victory in the 200-yard breaststroke, touching first in a time of 2:28.33. Marcotte also scored a victory in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.24).
Cornell, however, rebounded to take a 163-135 team victory. The 135-point production was the highest team output since Oct. 22.
The Bulls will next compete in the MAC Championships, which take place Feb. 23-25 at the University of Akron.
- Indoor track and field: Both the men's and women's squads finished in 10th place at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup hosted by Penn State University this past weekend. The men's team scored 25 points, good enough for 10th out of 13 teams, while the women compiled 31 points, leaving them 10th out of 15 squads.
Roy Richards won the long jump with a leap of 24 feet, 1.75 inches. Richards ranks third in the MAC with a leap of 24 feet, 3 inches, a mark he set at the Cornell Invitational earlier in the season.
On the women's side, Jen Jezorski broke Christina Keck's 2003 mile record, finishing in 4 minutes, 50.20 seconds. Jezorski's time was good enough for a second-place finish at the meet and was also six seconds better than her personal record and eight-tenths of a second faster than Keck.
Jezorski was also part of UB's 1,600-meter relay team, which posted an ECAC-qualifying time of 3:53.75, good enough for 10th place.
The men's and women's squads are back in action at 7 p.m. Friday when they compete in the Zips Open.
- Wrestling: Senior Kyle Cerminara recovered nicely from his first loss of the season. The Lewiston-Porter graduate earned a 11-1 major decision against Kent State's Adrian Ramadani, but it wasn't enough to push the Bulls past the Golden Flashes. Kent State earned a 21-13 team victory.
UB (9-5, 2-3) jumped out to an early lead when heavyweight Harold Sherrell picked up a 1-0, riding-time, point-based win over Jermail Porter.
The Bulls then gave the lead away with a forfeit, but junior Mark Budd was able to tie the match for UB, picking up a 6-0 victory.
Narrow wins by Aaron Miller and Alex Camargo clinched the match for the Golden Flashes.
UB wraps up its dual meet schedule with a match at Slippery Rock University at 7 p.m. Thursday. The match will be the last in Slippery Rock's history, as the school is dropping the program after this season.
- Women's tennis: Amherst native Kristen Ortman posted a pair of singles wins over the weekend for the Bulls. Ortman picked up the Bulls only victory in a 6-1 loss at Syracuse University on Friday, then defeated Cornell's Alex Seaton in a match that went to a third-set tiebreaker on Saturday.
Ortman is 12-2 in singles play this season and holds a 5-0 mark in dual meet matches.
UB (4-1, 0-0) plays at Duquesne at 5 p.m. Feb. 25.
Contact Jay Skurski at 693-1000, Ext. 117.

Conversations I had Thursday with two News Tribune readers reflected the challenge we face in serving the news needs of a diverse audience.
In the morning, after declaring my ankle sprained but not broken (I am a clumsy hiker), my doctor told me how much he enjoyed the new design of our paper. He'd tried reading the TNT on a tablet, he said, and hated the experience. He was a print-paper man. Always would be. Please don't stop printing it, he said.
In the afternoon, we hosted a group of local business leaders at our daily news meeting and answered their questions afterward. One woman held up her smartphone and said that's where she gets her news. Aren't the numbers of people getting the printed paper plummeting? she asked. How will the TNT satisfy her and all the other people turning to a phone or tablet as their source of information?
The answer is that we plan to deliver news created by TNT reporters and photographers in whatever form people will read it. And we intend to continually improve our products on both ends of the spectrum.
In November, we spiffed up the look of the printed paper for people who prefer their news in ink and paper.
Last week, we launched two products aimed at people who prefer their news in pixels and bytes.
The first is a new iPad app available at the Apple Store (search Tacoma News Tribune) and free for TNT subscribers. It presents up-to-the-minute news in a highly visual format with tiles for each photo and story. Separate sections for local news, sports, opinion and entertainment make it easy to scroll to the information that most interests you.
This becomes our third way iPad readers can consume TNT news. They can read from the traditional website, turn the virtual pages through a replica edition of the day's paper or select this new format. We intend to keep improving these offerings and make them available for Android users soon.
Our other new product is an entirely new niche publication for people who want up-to-the-minute and deep information about Washington state government. Capital Update is a new app available for iPads and iPhones. (Go to thenewstribune.com/capitalupdateapp or the Apple Store to download it.)
Capital Update includes a running feed of stories by our correspondents, many of which will appear in the next day's paper. But app editor Melissa Santos also compiles stories breaking in other media and posts from our political and state worker blogs, providing a one-stop shop for state government news. The app also provides information not available in our paper or on our traditional website, including daily updating of bills to watch, a Legislator Lookup and committee hearing schedules. A live Twitter stream provides an immediate look at what decision-makers are talking about.
Capital Update is the only app of its kind in Olympia, and is the first statehouse app in the McClatchy chain of newspapers.
After a seven-day free trial, a Capital Update subscription costs $4.99 a month.
When it comes to apps, we are learning a lot and adjusting as we go. If readers take to them, we will look for other niche areas where TNT staff can provide unique, local content.
We cannot ignore readers using phones and tablets. More than a third of our online readership is now coming from those mobile devices, and the numbers are up 33 percent from last year.
But we don't plan to pick one end of the readership spectrum or the other. My doctor will be happy to know we're not abandoning print.Karen Peterson: 253-597-8434

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Comments about Knog Big Dog Messenger Bag:
Love the bag, it is as good as if not better than my old Timbuktu. One thing I have noticed is that I used it one day while wearing a jersey and the chafing of the strap pilled the fabric. This did not happen with cotton t-shirts, so some synthetics are likely susceptible. Definitely would recommend this bag. Great price too.

Great quality product. Can't beat the price, but I think Timbuk2s are more functional.

Comments about Knog Big Dog Messenger Bag:
If you need a large bag with lots of storage space this one's for you. It's well laid out with easy access compartments and see-through mesh sidewalls for finding things easily. It's great for weeklong trips when you're taking your electronics warehouse with you. But it's a little large for a daily commuter which is where the Pig Dog is perfect.
Comments about Knog Big Dog Messenger Bag:
its really big - "big dog" fooled me...
the pig dog is smaller - more managable i think, but paying 25 bucks for shipping makes it too expensive to exchange.
could be stiffer in certain areas.. like laptop compartment.
could use a clip for the excess strap.
could use some reflector areas - i bought the tanned one - haven't noticed any reflectors.

In move that includes an unspecified amount of money---but for a reported "several million dollars"---the 3D technology company 3Ality has acquired the 3D camera-rig company Element Technica.
The Hollywood Reporter says 3Ality acquired the Los Angeles-based company and quickly renamed itself 3Ality Technica. The two one-time competitors are expected with the merger to form a single powerhouse 3D production equipment company.
Some of the recent projects 3Ality has worked on include The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Geat Gatsby, Jack and the Giant Killer and The Amazing Spiderman. In addition, the two companies, which are now a single entity have begun to make inroads in the 3D broadcast market with 3Ality's work with the U.K.-based company Sky3D and Element Technica's work at events such as the FIFA 2010 soccer World Cup and 2011 Wimbledon tennis championships.
As part of the deal Element Technica's staff will move to 3Ality's Burbank, Calif. headquarters, and Element Technica's two partners, Hector Ortega and Stephen Pizzo will become senior vice presidents at 3Ality.

SCSU van is mobile lab that brings experiments to area students, teachers
Wednesday, January 5, 2011
Nearly every television crime drama eventually takes viewers inside a laboratory to watch as scientists test evidence. Students in the Rocori school district this week and next will get a chance to experiment with some of the equipment seen in those shows. And they'll learn about science in a laboratory on wheels that St. Cloud State University has been bringing to area schools for more than a year.
The St. Cloud State Science Express is at Rocori this week and next week. Students in grades 3-6 this week will use pipettes to transfer fluids for experiments. Students in grades 9-12 will participate in similar experiments next week, although the curriculum is tailored for different age levels.
St. Cloud State University transformed a semitrailer into a mobile science lab to bring science curriculum to students and professional development to teachers. The Science Express served about 14,000 students in 2010, said Bruce Jacobson, associate professor of biology and director of biobusiness outreach for St. Cloud State. It will travel to several other schools through the first week of May.

Click It or Ticket
From May 24th to June 6th the Springfield Police Department, along with other area agencies, will be participating in the "Click it or Ticket" campaign (this event occurred in May 2004). This is a national enforcement effort to increase safety belt and child restraint use. The chance that you will be involved in a motor vehicle accident is 100%. The use of safety belts and child restraints is one of the best ways to prevent death and injury when involved in a crash. Over 70% of the people who die in traffic accidents are not wearing a safety belt. Just wearing a safety belt will reduce your risk of moderate-to-critical injury by 50%, and you will avoid a ticket and fine.
Every traffic officer I know always wears his/her safety belt, both at work and in their personal cars, because they know what could happen if they don't. Take advantage of their experience and please buckle up.
*Statistics were taken from data collected by MoDot's Office of Highway Safety.

We watched a lot of skating as a family when I was a kid and my parents always pointed out Michelle Kwan as an excellent role model. Of course, when that led to me wanting to take skating lessons, they said no (go figure - and no pun intended). In 1998 our fourth grade class required us to make a scrapbook of the Olympics and I, being a huge fan of Michelle's, made most of my scrapbook about skating with a focus on my favorite. I got a B - - (two minuses!) because the teacher complained that there wasn't enough Tara in it
After that I forgot about skating for awhile - if the internet had been a bigger influence I would have discovered places like FSU and MKF and SashaFans, but it wasn't until 2002 that I watched Sasha Cohen at Salt Lake and got sucked back in. Been here ever since.
Ladies lp at Lillehammer 1994, Oksana Baiul. Living in Holland, I knew nothing about figure skating. I had seen something on German channels we receive here without knowing exactly what it was though. We saw the opening of the Olympics. And of course they kept giving news about the Kerrigan/Harding drama. But it was watching the ladies lp and specifically Baiul that made me a figure skating fan. Then the gala when not only Baiul was a swan, but G&G had that lovely performance, that was the first time I really noticed pairs skating. These were the first skaters I became a fan of while knowing nothing about the sport. In these days, I didn't like ice dance as much as ladies or pairs skating and men seemed a bit more boring than ladies skating to me. Yet I watched all disciplines, including the cd's because we had no other skating on tv at all, except what Eurosport showed. And by watching everything, I began understanding it all better and appreciating men's skating and ice dance too. We had NBC channel here in those days too though and one day as I was going through different channels, I discovered a pro figure skating competition and another time Baiul, Petrenko and Boitano skating to Nutcracker on ice, sometimes the German channels showed something, but other than that, it was just what Eurosport showed.
Figure skating was also the sport which made me like musicals from our era. Before watching figure skating, I only knew the old Hollywood musicals, and I didn't even know all of those. I rediscovered a few I had once watched, such as 'West Side Story' and 'The sound of music' and began discovering more musicals which were new for me, especially those composed after the 60s, such as 'Miss Saigon', 'Cats', 'Phantom of the Opera'. It opened a whole new world for me, an exciting world with much to discover. I loved it. Figure skating also made me like opera and classical and baroque music. It did many amazing things for me and I didn't even skate, I just watched figure skating and just watching alone made my life lovelier, better, more exciting. It's great anticipating competitions and new programs or rivalries, discovering a new piece of music I like enough to buy or nowadays download or discovering someone doing a new choreography to overdone music. For a while I became a bit bored with some disciplines, but then it always became interesting again. New styles, or new competitors, or something else happened which brought the excitement back. Yet, nothing from competitions nowadays seems to really give the excitement of '90s skating for me, I don't exactly know why, because some of my favourite programs have also been skated in recent years and even this past season.
It started for me with 1988 Olympics.
"I hit him with my shoes... if he had given me the medal like I told him to, I wouldn't have had to hit him!" -- 8-year-old Rhoda Penmark in "The Bad Seed"
Seeing the Ice Capades live got me hooked. The speed, the control, the lights, costumes, beauty and daring of it all made me want to jump on the ice and do it. The year was probably 1964 and the headliners were Ann Margaret Frei, Aja Zanova, and the Jellineks.
I started taking lessons soon after, and to this day televised skating pales in comparison to live skating for me.
Who was Ann Margaret Frei?
I caught figure skating randomly on Wide World of Sports in the early '60's and was hooked. The first skaters I followed in any way were Peggy Fleming, the Protopopovs, and my only figure skating crush, John Misha Petkevich.

Robin Cousins, 1980 Olympics
On another note - having just seen Stars On Ice I was once again taken with how much Shawn Sawyer still reminds me of Toller in many ways.
On another note - I am loving this thread!
On a last note - I am feeling REALLY old with some of you talking about your early childhood skating viewing experiences! Babies!
What first got me hooked to ice skating . . .
Televised Event: 1994 Olympics LP of the men and ladies; all the drama encircling Tonya, Nancy, and Oksana as well as the return of all the pro skaters to Olympic eligible competition: Boitano, Petrenko, Gordeeva/Grinkov, Mishkutenok/Dmitriev, Torvill/Dean, and Witt.
Nicole Bobek - she was so beautiful, fun, and charismatic; she just drew me in to everything she did; she had "IT" in spades!
Brian Boitano - he had such a commanding presence over the ice with big jumps, strong skating skills, and a big butt that definitely caught my eye.
Paul Wylie - he had such spectacular artistry and musicality with wonderful tension and emotion; his "Henry V", "Carmina Burana", "JFK", "Bring Him Home", and "Schindler's List" are such iconic skating masterpieces that I truly love!
Gordeeva/Grinkov - they presented such beautiful pictures on the ice and were such an attractive couple. I definitely had a crush on him and was crushed when he passed away. He was the romantic hero of the ice who took such great care of his partner; I think part of me wanted to be Katia just to experience the love that Sergei had for her.
1993 World Championships, Kurt Browning's Casablanca performance.
2006 Olympics... Emily Hughes.
I've always wanted to see Sarah Kawahara's Ice Capades performances after seeing her in Strawberry Ice, and she was around in VHS era.
You never know what people might have at home. I'm still amazed about the footage which was filmed by people with old fashioned cameras, meant for private use. Who knows perhaps one day something shows up.

Many thanks for the links!
If you have to fall on your butt at the Olympics, doing it just in time to the big cymbal crash is the way to go.

They don't have a specific night dedicated to their sport. They don't have students decked out in body paint, cheering them across the finish line. They don't have thousands of rowdy fans attending their events.
They're awfully good at what they do, though.
The 2011 cross country campaign began with a bang for the Maryville Rebels, with an all-around strong display at the WNC Cross Country Carnival 5K recently. On the boy's side, Maryville racked up an 11th overall team in the championship race and had five runners finish in the top 100.
Notable individual performances included junior Matthew Warriner, who finished in a time of 17 minutes, 02.48 seconds to place 19th out of 136 contenders. Warriner was sixth at 800 meters in last season's Spring Fling state track and field meet.
"While Saturday wasn't my best performance, I did set a personal record, which left me satisfied but not happy," Warriner said. "In addition, the team as a whole pack ran well, so if we can keep our training consistent, our entire team will be improving together. Right now for me though, it's all about the team."
Senior Ian Murphy also looked sharp, finishing in 17:18.15 for the 28th spot.
"I am very proud of my performance this weekend, as well as the performances of the rest of the team," Murphy said. "Everyone ran well for the first race, and I feel like the results are promising looking ahead to our upcoming meets."
Along with the aforementioned Rebels, Maryville's Nick Skipworth (95th), Matthew Blair (98th), Troy Galyon (99th), Landon Newman (102nd) and Alan Frisco (130th) all concluded with sub 21-minute times. Cross country rookie Maddox Southard came home in less than 26 minutes, ranking second among Rebel sophomores.
The Lady Rebels also garnered an 11th place championship race finish, a three-spot improvement from last year's event. Sophomores Avery Franklin (20:00.89) and Courtney McKelvey (21:41.93) gained top honors for the girls in red and black, placing 12th and 59th, respectively, out of 133 participants.
Freshman Sarah Bowden had a solid debut, recording a time of 21:44.48 and a 60th place finish. Those outcomes, coupled with sub 24-minute scores from Meredith Burress, Laura Roberts, Aliya Ridgell and Caitlin Steadman left coach Landon Harris pleased with the weekend's results from both sides.
"Both teams performed tremendously this weekend," Harris said. "I'm really happy with how competitive our girls are, particularly our freshmen and sophomore group. Based on their times this weekend, I'm really looking for them to be a force in our region.
"As far as the boys are concerned, I'm pretty happy with their overall performance as well. Matthew Warriner and Ian Murphy ran well, and I'm hoping they will only continue to improve. Getting both of them to average in the 16s as the season goes on is my ultimate goal."
Both Maryville teams look to continue their successes at Saturday's Cherokee Classic in Knoxville. The girls' race begins at 9 a.m., with the boys following. It will be the Rebels' first look at the season's main competition.
"We'll get a real gauge of how we stand early in the season against our primary opponents," Harris said.
Alcoa's Tornadoes and Lady Tornadoes got things going at the Panther Creek Cross Country Invitational 5K recently. The Tornadoes are a mix of newcomers, with only one member having previous experience with the sport. Additionally, Alcoa graduated a significant piece to last year's success, state championship qualifier Eric Honabach, so a positive start to the season was a top priority, Pam Haggard said.
"We started the team early in order to get some experience, and see what it was like to actually run in a cross country event," she said. "Overall, I was pretty proud of all the runners, despite the low level of experience."
Senior John Morgan headlined the Tornadoes with a 49th place finish out of 116 competitors, finishing in a time of 21:41.63. Right behind him were senior Arturo Perez (23:18.29) and junior Nick Moore (23:45.71), whose final positions went 82nd and 87th, respectively. Taylor Rodgers (106th), Jacob Hall (108th) and Keith Fletcher (111th) rounded out the Tornado bunch.
The Lady Tornadoes produced a single challenger in the event, but junior Morgan Scarlett-Jones was by no means intimidated by the lack of company.
"Morgan is our most experienced runner, and she sets a good example for the rest of the squad," Haggard said. "Her strong performances and abilities often encourage teammates to work harder and strive for more challenging goals."
A region qualifier as a sophomore, Jones followed up her postseason performance from a year ago with an encouraging season debut, putting together a time of 25:18.66, resulting in a final standing of 18th out of 82.
The Tornadoes will also travel to Knoxville for Saturday's Cherokee Classic. Haggard believes having a meet under the belt of each of her rookie runners will prove far-reaching.
"After the first week, everybody talked to me about how they have a better understanding of what to expect and realistic goals to set," Haggard said. "Everyone is excited for the upcoming meets now that they have a feel for how everything works during a race, and the knowledge of how much physical endurance each individual's body can take."

A Costa Rican newspaper is reporting New England Patriots star Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen got hitched - again.
Al Dia says 50 guests attended the wedding in Santa Teresa, a beachside town.
The newspaper says the Brazilian supermodel wore blue and the
quarterback beige Saturday.
The couple were reportedly first married in the United States in February.
French news agency Agence France-Presse reported that one of its
photographers said a bodyguard for Bundchen shot at his car after
he refused to give up his camera. Al Dia photographer Rolando Aviles says he was also in the car and has filed a police complaint. Nobody was hurt.
