(Warning: Very long and detailed but please read if you have the time. I very much need the help)
Hey everyone,
I'm 18 year old freshman at Temple University getting ready for my second semester and the college life has presented a few problems that I'd like to get some opinions and advice on.
This is my second draft of this post. The first was ridiculously long and rambling, so in order to save everybody some eye strain I will try to condense my current problem in a broken-up, list-like manner.
-I have had diabetes since I was 9 years old. Up until recently I lived a fairly normal and well-controlled life.
-Near the middle of my senior year I started to develop a now extreme anxiety about going low.
-This anxiety is highly irrational and affects all aspects of my life. I no longer feel comfortable doing anything that requires me to leave my dorm room.
-This includes all activities that are even remotely physical-shopping, walking around the city, exercise, dancing,acting on a stage, going to amusement parks,and(sex)
-Because I have pretty much ceased all physical activity I have gained a significant amount of weight (I was about 20 lbs overweight, now I'm 50.
-I have also ceased to participate in most sedentary activities as well, including going to concerts, theater productions, hanging out with friends, going to parties, going out to eat, driving, going to the movies, and traveling.
-Basically any activity where I am not alone, sitting, and can focus all of my attention to what my bloodsugar is causes me a lot of anxiety
-All these things I listed (with the exclusion of sex, which I do not allow myself to do because I am too scared I will go low) are things that I used to love to do
-I am also too scared to try new things. I joined my school's paranormal club the first semester because that has always been a dream of mine. However, I declined to go on any ghost hunts because I knew I would be too anxious all the time about my bloodsugar.
-No longer doing things for enjoyment plus gaining weight has led my self esteem to drop significantly and to me feeling worthless
-If I do end up leaving my room for class or in an attempt to go out into the city I have a constant urge to check my bloodsugar every ten minutes. If I do not check my blood sugar I will experience a "false low" that will not go away until I check
-I am too worried about going low while I sleep that most nights it is near impossible to fall asleep
-I have anxiety attacks if I am outside of my room for more than five minutes without at least 2 glucose bottles, even though I usually carry about 20+ in my backpack
-I check so often that I run out of strips way before it is time to renew my prescription so I must pay 100-200 dollars on strips from the store.
-I am so paranoid that my bloodsugar is constantly over 250. I always feel sick and tired because of this but I feel anxious if it is any lower than 200.
-Having such poor control makes me simultaneously freak out about the complications I will face in the future while freaking out about going low.
-I have told this to my endo. She is trying to get me a CGM even though my insurance won't cover it but is not particularly helpful otherwise.
Again, I apologize for all the text. I just felt as though this is the only way I can fully express all the issues I have been having. I am extremely depressed and miserable. My anxiety is out of control and dampening any chance at a normal life. My question to anyone reading is just to share any kind of advice or story they think could help. I have no idea how I developed these extreme anxieties. I'm not really sure how to remedy this problem but I'm desperate to improve my life. Do I have any chance at regaining happiness?
Thank you for your time

I'm sorry this is happening, have you had a life threatening low at some point in time that would trigger this kind of behavior ? I mean I have woken to uniformed men in my bedroom on more than a few occasions and that is what eventually prompted me to take better control. I have had D for going on 38 years and it is really only within the last year that I have finally gotten a handle on what is going on in my body and how foods, moods, exercise, stress, and anxiety effect my blood sugar. And yes to answer your question, you most definitely have a chance for regaining happiness. There is no simple answer though, I have gotten a Dexcom cgm and that for me has made a huge difference in my ability to control D, and not let it control me, but for you it may be a psychologist who can help you get past the fear of lows and help you get a better handle on the anxiety. There are no magic wands or pills just a lot of hard work. But I do hope you can find some balance and get past the anxiety and panic of being low. Life is too short to spend it worrying about low blood sugars. JMHO good luck, Clare
To answer your very last question, "Do I have any chance at regaining happiness?" my answer is Yes, Yes, Yes. And actually you've taken the first step towards doing just that by acknowledging that the problem has gotten so out of control and asking for help. I'm sure you'll get lots of good advice about specific aspects of your D management, even things specific to you like fears of lows, etc. But I want to come at it from a different tack. Your problems aren't so much in D management, though obviously you are not where you want or need to be with your D. Your problems are emotional, some of which is related to D some of which goes beyond it. My personal opinion is that you could benefit greatly from therapy. The ideal therapist for you would be a Type 1 who knows what you are going through. If you are near a larger city that might be a possibility. I would suggest contacting your local branch of JDRF and see if they can recommend someone. If you are unable to find a Therapist who is themself Type one then one who has experience dealing with people with D would help. Failing that, a good therapist who you feel a connection to and who is open to understanding how D impacts your emotions would work just fine.
Those of us who deal with this condition are more prone to emotional issues than the general population but that doesn't mean we can't be helped as well as anyone else. I've seen people with many serious emotional/mental issues who are recovering and living happy lives. You can get there too!
Another issue aside from therapy is to find a group of other Type 1's. Though not every Type 1 feels as you do, we all understand what you deal with 24/7. Again, JDRF is a great source of information about such groups as is your local hospital based D program. Being around people who understand can be so healing!
Oh big hugs to you! Thats a lot of stress/worry/crap to deal with on top of college courses.
My suggestions would be this: first see if your college offers counseling (I didn't check where you are prior to responding - but my college had counselors on staff so it stands to reason that other colleges might do this too?) and if it doesn't then it wouldn't hurt to local a counselor near your college. I'm not a medical professional of any sort, but a lot of what you're worrying about seems to come down to stress and perception?
It also wouldn't hurt to see about having a meeting or two with a diabetes educator - I actually met with one just today because, like you, my blood sugar is running high and nothing I'm doing seems to help. Just meeting with her the first time I can see all kinds of things that I had been doing wrong or had just gotten lazy about. I have all the tools I need I just haven't been using them. Maybe meeting with a CDE yourself with help you feel like you're more in control of your diabetes.
Finally, if you feel like your endo isn't helping you then switch if you can. A CGM will only show you your blood sugar more often - it won't address the other issues that, IMO, are larger (meaning, the anxiety).
Oh my. I am so sorry. Recommendation: seek counseling. You are NOT crazy, lunatic or anything else. You are an anxiety ridden diabetic, as we all are or have been.
You need to step up and understand that it is what it is. You can't change that. So, you can freak out or give up the fear so you can live your life--fully. Please choose your life.
You go low, you go low. You will work hard to keep this from happening, but it will happen. When I get low I alwaystry to step up, smile and go on. I can wallow in apprehension, but what is the point? Does that change anything?
You need to step out, try things, take risks. You are 18 and have been diabetic half of your life. DO NOT LET THIS DISEASE TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE. Rule it.
I have been there, but it is all about you right now, Mega. You need to stop being afraid. Honestly, I am afraid a lot, but I cannot let me be ruled by fear. Look for help, as others have suggested. Please.
And let us know how you are doing. You are in my thoughts. NOW go watch a good Friday night movie and relax...
I thought about your dilemma some more.
- First, I want you to understand that counseling can really help. I hit a really low point around my 40th D anniversary. I had never had therapy or even considered it until a CDE recommended someone. Her specialty was chronic disease. She was a Type 1 and wore the same pump. It was the first time I had ever met another Type 1. She was great for me and really got me back on board. It really changed my world.
-Like AR, college was full of things I should not discuss. In 4 years, I had one episode where I got up, took insulin, went back to bed and woke up in emergency. It is the only time I have ever been transported. There were others, like the time I tried to toast a sponge for breakfast... But I survived, and I learned.
-And I agree with the CGM. It can take a lot of stress away. Its not perfect, but can really help.
re the post itself, this is one of the better long/ "help!" posts w/ the paragraphs and bullet points! It makes it much more readable!
I spent a long time sort of guessing how much insulin to take but always tested what I figured would be a reasonable amount. Most of the times I passed out from hypos seemed to be the day after wild benders, as I'd wake up early take some insulin and fall back asleep and wake up at the ER.
I have always worked to be happy because I'm sort of that way but it looks like the whole BG thing is a huge problem. I suspect that it may be that the goals aren't quite tight enough? I was really lucky when I got my pump as my doc's calculations turned out to be what I needed in terms of insulin and stuff fell into place. After 20 years of *waoooah* craziness all the time.
Re college, my concern would be that sometimes freshman courses you can sort of get by going to class a few times, for tests, etc. but that after that,as things get more specialized, the profs may sort of expect some participation? I suspect it'd be really hard to keep up with things sitting in your dorm room.
I think that a CGM might be very helpful and that the doc may want to press for it for you, although I dunno if they do that. It taught me a lot about how to play around with insulin. Before I started pumping, I sort of used insulin like something I'd buy in the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert "oh, dude, I'd better shoot up..." but, once I got thinking more about "balance", I was able to figure a lot more out and get things to work. I hope that you can figure out a way to do that too.
I'm so sorry you're going through this! I think Zoe's suggestion that you find a type I therapist is a great idea, but if you can't find one, definitely a therapist of some sort. If there's no type I in Philly, maybe someone that deals with eating disorders would be close -- anxiety about weight and anxiety about lows is different, but maybe close enough... I kinda wonder if there might be some kind of anti-anxiety med that could help you out. It sounds like it's so debilitating for you. Did it just come up after you started school? Could it be related to leaving home?
Are you afraid of any low at all or only afraid of a serious low that you can't handle yourself?
I haven't had the exact anxiety you're talking about, but I have really let my anxiety about complications mess things up for me recently. I sat down to study for the california bar in september and when I looked at the white pages of the book these floaters just jumped out at me. I realized at that moment that I had been seeing floaters for maybe as long as weeks, but I would always find some way to not see them (they show up a lot more if you're looking at a plain light background). It took me around two months to get up the nerve to see my opthalmologist and the whole time I was completely convinced that it was the beginning of the end. I had horrible images of my husband and kids having to take care of me, blind and limbless (bc if my eyes were going probably the rest of me...). And every time I tried to sit down and study, my heart would start racing and I just couldn't do it. In the end it turned out that the floaters were just a normal age-related thing that had nothing to do with diabetes. I was pretty thrilled to find that out, but it was too late for me to prepare for the next bar exam. Now my hubby is pretty pissed at me for not studying and we are so broke since I can't work till I pass it. And I keep wondering if I'm the only diabetic who's had this sort of trouble, but I guess not... And you aren't alone either.
Blessings and Brava, my sweet. This is a great post for clarity. You have defined your concerns well and you will find many here who can give you advice and support. I do not have direct experience to relate to, but I have many, many friends here who I know will help to weave you an emotional safety net. We love you.....Judith in Portland
Is your family of help when you call? It really pays to get treated for anxiety and its complications first. Lay it out for family, that this has to be dealt with because you don't want to jeopardize your career by pseudo-study and bad health due to high blood sugars: you want to be normal and happy.
When you're dealing with a cascade of problems, the cascade is not treated by trying to stem it here n there and meanwhile do studying. It's like a waterfall! You can't study well in a waterfall! It takes your breath away.
In the absence of family help, ask a friend in your dorm to go with you to the school's health center to get to a psychiatrist for evaluation and therapy potentials. You'll be happy once you've chosen that path.
And my best personal wishes for your tackling this front-on!
It's not unusual to experience anxiety in your first year at school....especially if you are away from home. The new environment and new challenges can take awhile to adjust to.
I agree with the others about getting help - sooner rather than later. It will help you adjust to your new environment and help you become productive again. You might be able to get help at the student health center. THere is a counseling center at Temple :
They may not have an expert on diabetes issues on staff, but they can certainly help you with anxiety. It is a very common issue among students. Do not be afraid or ashamed to seek help.
Another thing to think about is that since you have been running high for an extended period, your body may give you the symptoms of a low when you are actually at levels abnormally high, but lower than your average. This will go away when you slowly bring your averages down to more safe and normal levels. Remember that normal levels in a human being are 70-130 or so.... a real low is below this. When you are running as high as you describe, you might start to get symptoms of a low when you are in the mid to high 100's for example, even though these levels are abnormally high. Slowly bringing down your average will shift your body's setpoint to a more normal level.
As you slowly improve your control, you will feel more alert and happier, you'll want to do things more, etc. And then moving more will help with control and it will get easier and easier. Sitting in your room actually makes BG harder to control as you don't get any help disposing of glucose from exercise...then you need more insulin, etc and it sets up a whole negative feedback.
Hi Meg, when I first started college, I felt the same anxieties about going low. First, has anything bad happened to you as a result of a low? Second, as a way to slowly increase your 'involvement' and become less anxious, I would try to focus on your triumphs. What have you accomplished. First, putting diabetes aside, you have been accepted to college and are living (or trying to live) on a dorm. That is a huge accomplishment. Second, you are reaching out for help...this is an important action for those of us with the D. Many times it can be difficult to ask for help and I am glad that you did. What I would recommend is keeping a journal/diary of your accomplishments, even if they are small, so that you can gain confidence in yourself. Some days when I first started college, I made a goal to just get up and dressed in clothes. A goal for you might be to walk to the bench outside your dorm. Like I said, these are very small goals, but by meeting these goals, you might be able to build on them. For instance, after 3 weeks of walking to the bench, maybe you could arrange to meet a friend at the bench and walk to a dining common with your friend. This is something that might work for you. Also, for BG control, try to make the goal that, even if it is for a short period of time, you are going to try to remin in control or get in better control (even if better is going from 250 to 225mg/dl) for just 1 hour or 2 hours. By starting small, you might feel like you are more in control. Also, with a fear about going low, keep in mind that YOU can control your diabetes, YOU can temp your basal, YOU can take gluco tabs, YOU can munch on a snack. So, to answer your question, you can regain happiness by taking small steps and feeling confient. Please keep us updated, I wish you the best! :)
Freshman year is a challenge for many students in the best of circumstances. I agree with other replies that therapy and a cgm would help to get you back on track. I am a T1 and faculty member at a college in NY. I also have been involved with getting Freshmen connected with faculty advisors. You might inquire at your counseling center at Temple if there are any T1 faculty members who might be willing to be your advisor. Once you get the professional support you need from a therapist, CDE, and hopefully a CGM (is it included in your college medical insurance plan?), you might benefit from a faculty member who can be a more frequent contact for moral support- your cheerleader in your recovery. T1 faculty are out there. You may have to ask more than one person to find them though. I can be a virtual cheerleader for you now. You can do it!!!

The Smith & Wesson Model 10, previously known as the Smith & Wesson Military & Police or the Smith & Wesson Victory Model, is a .38-caliber revolver developed from the Smith & Wesson .38 Hand Ejector Model of 1889. In production since 1899, it is a fixed-sight, six-shot handgun with a fluted cylinder. Over its long production run it has been available with barrel lengths of 2 in (51 mm), 3 in (76 mm), 4 in (100 mm), 5 in (130 mm), and 6 in (150 mm). Barrels of 2.5 inches (64 mm) are also known to have been made for special contracts. Some 6,000,000 of the type have been produced over the years, making it the most popular centerfire revolver of the 20th century.
In 1899, the Army and Navy placed orders with Smith and Wesson for two to three thousand Model 1889 Hand Ejector revolvers chambered for the M1892 .38 U.S. Service Cartridge (aka .38 Long Colt). With this order, the Hand Ejector Model 1889 became known as the .38 Military and Police model of 1899. That same year, in response to reports from military sources serving in the Philippines on the relative ineffectiveness of the .38 (Long Colt) cartridge, Smith & Wesson began offering the Military & Police in a new chambering, the .38 S&W Special (aka .38 Special) — a slightly elongated version of the .38 Long Colt cartridge with increased bullet weight (158 grains) and increase in powder charge from eighteen to twenty-one grains of gun powder.
In 1902 the .38 Military & Police (2nd Model) was introduced, featuring substantial changes. These included major modification and simplification of the internal lockwork and the addition of a locking underlug on the barrel to engage the previously free-standing ejector rod. Barrel lengths were 4, 5, 6, and 6.5 inches with a rounded butt. Serial numbers for the Military & Police ranged from number 1 in the series to 20,975. Most of the early M&P revolvers chambered in .38 Special appear to have been sold to the civilian market. By 1904, S&W was offering the .38 M&P with rounded or square butt, and 4, 5, and 6.5-inch barrels.
The .38 S&W Military & Police Model of 1905 4th Change (introduced 1915), incorporated a passive hammer block and enlarged service sights that quickly became a standard across the service revolver segment of the industry. Heat treatment of cylinders began in 1919.
The S&W Model 10 military revolvers produced from 1942 to 1944 had serial numbers with a "V" prefix, and were known as the Smith & Wesson Victory Model. It is noteworthy that early Victory Models did not always have the V prefix. During World War II over 570,000 of these pistols were supplied to theUnited Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa under theLend-Lease program, chambered in the British .38/200 caliber already in use in the Enfield No 2 Mk I Revolver and the Webley Mk IV Revolver. Most Victory Models sent to Britain were fitted with 4″ (102 mm) or 5″ (127 mm) barrels, although a few early versions had 6″ (150 mm) barrels. In general, most British and Commonwealth forces expressed a preference for the .38/200 Smith & Wesson over their standard Enfield revolver.
The Victory Model was also used by United States forces during World War II, being chambered in the well-known and popular .38 Special cartridge. The Victory Model was a standard-issue sidearm for US Navy and Marine aircrews, and was also used by security guards at factories and defense installations throughout the United States during the war. Some of these revolvers remained in service well into the 1990s with units of the US Armed Forces, including the Coast Guard. Some Lend-Lease Victory Model revolvers originally chambered for the British .38/200 were returned to the U.S. and rechambered to fire the more popular and more powerful .38 Special ammunition, and such revolvers are usually so marked on their barrels. Rechambering of .38-200 cylinders to .38 Special results in oversized chambers which may cause problems.
The finish on Victory Models was typically a sandblasted and parkerized finish, which is noticeably different from the higher-quality blue or nickel/chrome finishes usually found on commercial M&P/Model 10 revolvers. Other distinguishing features of the Victory Model revolver are the lanyard loop at the bottom of the grip frame, and the use of smooth (rather than checkered) walnut grip panels. However some early models did use a checkered grip, most notably the pre-1942 manufacture.
Post-World War II models
After World War II, Smith and Wesson returned to manufacturing the M&P series. Along with cosmetic changes and replacement of the frame fitting grip with the Magna stocks, the spring-loaded hammer block safety gave way to a cam-actuated hammer block that rode in a channel in the side plate (Smith 1968). In 1957, Smith and Wesson adopted the convention of using numeric designations to distinguish their various models of handguns, and the M&P was renamed the Model 10.
The M&P/Model 10 has been available in both blued steel finish and nickel finish for most of its production run. The model has also been offered throughout the years with both the round butt and square butt (i.e. grip patterns). Beginning with the Model 10-5 series in the late 1960s, the tapered barrel and its trademark 'half moon' front sight (as shown in the illustrations on this page) were replaced by a straight bull barrel and a sloped milled ramp front sight. Late model Model 10s are capable of handling any .38 Special cartridge produced today up to and including +P+ rounds. You can identify this late model by the implementation of a five screw assembly, four screws along the side and one in front of the trigger guard.
As of 2007 the Model 10 was available only in a 4″ (102mm) barrel model. The Model 10′s stainless steel (Inox) counterpart, the Smith & Wesson Model 64, is available in either a 4″ (102 mm) or a 3″ (76 mm) barrel.
.357 Magnum variations
After a small prototype run of Model 10-6 revolvers in .357 Magnum caliber, Smith and Wesson introduced the Model 13 heavy barrel in carbon steel and then the Model 65 instainless steel. Both revolvers featured varying barrel weights and lengths—generally three and four inches with and without underlugs (shrouds). Production dates begin in 1974 for the Model 13 and end upon discontinuation in 1999. The Model 65 was in production from 1972-1999. Both the blued and stainless models were popular with police and FBI and a variation of the Model 65 was marketed in the Lady Smith line from 1992-1999.
Semi-automatic M&P
As of 2005, Smith & Wesson produces a polymer-framed semi-automatic handgun in 9 mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG under the M&P name. In 2007, a .45 ACP version of the semi-automatic M&P was introduced.

UNION — A new heavyweight champion was crowned and a member of the community was recognized during an exciting pro wrestling event held at the Union County Fairgrounds this past weekend.
The majority of the wrestling fans in attendance at Saturday night's Trans-South Wrestling event at Union County Fairgrounds left heartbroken after fan favorite Deon Johnson was defeated by Rick Michaels, making Michaels the new TSW heavyweight champion. The win was a controversial one as Michaels had fellow wrestler Brandon Phoenix in his corner during the match, offering support and the occasional distraction. Following the match, Johnson — a native of the Chambertown community — challenged Michaels to a rematch for the title in a "Chambertown Rules" match. Michaels accepted and the two wrestlers will compete again on March 2.
Another highlight of Saturday night's event was the presentation of a "Champion of the Community" award to Barbara Rippy.
"TSW was started as a way to not only have fun, but also to give back to the community," said referee Tracy Gene Rash. "In keeping with that idea, we wanted to start recognizing people to whom contributing to the community is also important. Mrs. Rippy was the perfect person to be named as the first 'Champion of the Community.'"
Rippy and her husband — the late Dr. Bobby Rippy — began sponsoring a Dixie Youth team in 1969, and continued to do so every year since. Rippy said she will sponsor a team this year as well.
"I thank y'all for this," Rippy said with tears in her eyes Saturday night. "Bobby and I love the community, but y'all have done a lot for us, too."
In addition to sponsoring the youth baseball team, Rippy has made considerable contributions to USC Union, the Miracle League of Union County and the Lions Club. She is also an active member of Civitan.
The presentation was a surprise for Rippy, as she was asked to be at the event to talk about the late Charles Babb, a Union County native and wrestling promoter. Rippy said Smith Drug Store was a ticket outlet for wrestling events when she and her husband owned it, and Babb often held autograph signings with wrestlers in front of the store.
In other wrestling action, the tag team of Michael Frehley and Peter Kaasa defeated a masked tag team known as Delta Force. Kaasa finished his opponent with a corkscrew moonsault off the top rope, but an awkward landing put Kaasa in the hospital at MUSC in Charleston, his hometown. Kaasa said on Monday he thought he had injured his hip, but when he got back to Charleston Saturday night, he suffered major swelling in his abdomen. Doctors told him he had a large hematoma in his abdomen and will be out of action for the next few weeks.
In other matches, the legendary "Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez defeated Kameron Kade; Alex Avgerinos defeated Hunter Thompson; Brady Pierce defeated Brandon Phoenix; and Chase Brown defeated Craig Huffman.

Historical Antique Stuart Crystal Earrings
With the 1649 execution of Stuart monarch Charles I tokens of loyalty to the slain king were distributed and worn. Often covered with faceted rock crystal the objects contained his image, a lock of his hair or his monogram.
This style greatly influenced jewelry. Over the years it developed into memorial and sentimental jewelry for the populace. No longer associated only with the King, these pieces were to memorialize a loved one. Although given as a symbol of love and affection, the types collectively continue to be referred to Stuart Crystals or Jacobite jewelry. (The followers and loyalists to James II were referred to as Jacobites). The type made of rock crystal was found in England throughout the late 1700s and well into the mid-18th century.
Still remaining very crisp and fine, the rock crystal faceting glistens and shimmers. The entire edge highly faceted and the entire surface are covered with triangular facets, which makes every movement a new possibility for catching the light and displaying the intricacy of these rare earrings.
The high carat gold on the reverse has now been worn buttery smooth. The saw toothed edge rub-over mount is typical of this period. Beneath the crystal tiny strands of woven gold wire and initials (cypher) rest upon a bed of very finely plaited hair.
Date: Circa 1700.
Measurements: 13/16 of an inch (2.1 cm) in length including ear wire by 1/2 of an inch (1.4 cm) in diameter by 5/16 (0.8 cm) in depth. Weight of 5.4 grams (3.4 dwt) for the pair.
Condition: Excellent; one cypher off center but stable; crystals have not been removed nor has the bezel been disturbed; later 10k yellow gold ear wires added.
Origin: English.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has changed the way in which public and private agencies provide recreation opportunities. This paper will review the rights of the consumer of recreation and leisure services under the ADA and discuss some of the key administrative and court decisions that have shaped those rights.
This information applies to opportunities provided by units of state and local government (such as a parks and recreation department), private for-profit entities (such as a health club or an adventure outfitter), and nonprofit organizations (such as a YMCA or community sports association). This paper briefly discusses the differences between those types of agencies, but the focus here is more on what is similar, not what is different.
There is an important concept in determining the length to which an entity must go for ADA compliance. This concept, undue burden, is discussed in this paper. It is also important to review how consumers can enforce those rights. This paper does that, and notes the resources that recreation consumers can use to find out more about your rights, and how to enforce those rights. This paper will provide the names and numbers and websites of local and national organizations that know recreation, and the right to access.

The Asian American Music Festival 2010 (AAMF) is an event not to be missed this fall. You'll have October 15, 16 and 17 to choose from, so there's no excuse for missing out on the international music festival featuring concerts, dance and educational programming. The festival will be held at Los Angeles' Japanese National Museum.
The AAMF is the world's leading festival celebrating Asian American music, from jazz, pop, world music, hip-hop and electronica. AAMF celebrates the artistic and creative achievements of Asian American, Asian, and Asian Pacific Islander artists in all genres of music. This year, headliners include ukulele legend Jake Shimabukuro, groundbreaking hip-hop artist Shing02 ("Shing-Oh-2″), and international songstress Charmaine Clamor.
These superstars will be joined by an eclectic lineup of Asian American virtuosos including Jon Jang, Dana Leong, Kero One (we featured his amazing video "On Bended Knee"), Gary Fukushima, Abe Lagrimas, Jr., Noel Okimoto, Emi Meyer, Shanghai Restoration Project, and Sachal Vasandani.
"As a promoter, the only thing better than having a sold-out festival is having a sold-out festival filled from start to finish with music I love. And I really love this festival's lineup!" says festival founder and director Paul Im. "I'm extremely proud of our programming this year. We're presenting the most current, culturally relevant, and artistically engaging artists of Asian descent in the world today, all together in a cohesive format. "
This year's festival will be celebrated in five movements:
Movement 1 (Friday evening, 10/15): Urbanisms features west coast hip-hop star, Kero One, opening for Dana Leong's Milk & Jade project which fuses electronica and hip-hop. Movement 1′s headliner is Japanese rapping sensation, Shing02.
Movement 2 (Saturday afternoon, 10/16): Generations is a direct tribute to the Asian American jazz legacy and the API consciousness movement with performances by two generations of leading Asian American pianists, Gary Fukushima and Jon Jang. Movement 2 closes with the world premiere of "Concerto for Jazz Orchestra and Taiko" composed by Jon Jang, performed by The New Asian American Jazz Orchestra directed by Gary Fukushima.
Movement 3 (Saturday evening, 10/16): Stars of the Islands is Hawaiian music night with international pop superstar Jake Shimabukuro headlining. Abe Lagrimas, Jr. and Noel Okimoto open with their vibraphone and drums quartet.
Movement 4 (Sunday Afternoon, 10/17): Angles features Japanese American pop-jazz superstar Emi Meyer opening for Undercover Culture recording group, Shanghai Restoration Project, in a multi-media hip-hop and electronic performance.
Movement 5 (Sunday evening, 10/17): Identity closes AAMF with two stars of unique artistic and cultural identities: singers Sachal Vasandani and Charmaine Clamor in two performances of jazz with world influence.
"This year's Asian American Music Festival, an evolution from the Asian American Jazz Festival, reflects our decision to celebrate all expressions of music by API artists, no matter the genre," says Im. "Asian American artists have had rich histories in hip-hop, jazz, world and electronic music. The festival celebrates diversity while focusing on Asian American cultural identity and the API artists who share this connection."
October 15-17, 2010
Japanese National Museum, 369 East First Street, Los Angeles, CA
Online ticketing is now available through the festival's website www.AsianAmericanMusicFestival.com

Reynolds Sixty Six OE Clincher Road Wheelset
Leave it to Reynolds, a leader in carbon wheel innovation, to keep on pushing the design and performance envelopes beyond limits no other carbon wheel has yet dared to tread. For example, at first glance, the deep, 66mm profile of Reynolds Sixty Six clincher road wheels might raise a few red flags as far as stability in crosswinds is concerned. No worries. Reynolds' design engineers have the situation covered with their patented Swirl Lip Generators. Two little bulges positioned on both sides of the rims' trailing edges not only enhance the wheels' aerodynamics, but actually decrease the force of air passing sideways across the rim. Although the details of the physics is beyond our ken, experience has taught us that when confronted with crosswinds, the Sixty Sixes are every bit as stable as wheels with more modest profiles.Crosswinds or no, these wheels dish out every bit of acceleration and top-end speed you look for in a deep V wheel, making them a perfect choice for criteriums, time trials, triathlons, or juicing up your recreational rides with explosive bursts of acceleration. With a high modulus carbon construction and hard resin finish, they're exceptionally stiff, dependably strong and pleasantly lightweight. Internal spoke nipples enhance both strength and aerodynamics and Reynolds' proprietary CTg brake track technology runs up to 100 degrees cooler than old-style tracks. Coupled with the Cryo Blue brake pads Reynolds includes, the system dramatically improves braking performance and provides an extra skosh of confidence for tackling high-speed descents.
For the ultimate synthesis of strength, stiffness and rotational weight savings, Sixty Six clinchers are radially laced with 16 DT Aerolite spokes up front, and 20 rear spokes laced radially/2X.
Reynolds Sixty Six carbon clincher wheels come with Cryo Blue brake pads (the only ones Reynolds recommends for use with these wheels), lightweight quick release skewers and valve extenders.
These wheels are eligible for the Reynolds Assurance Program.
