In the wake of yesterday's awful events we all need to ask "Are New Rochelle Public Schools Prepared for Active Shooter Invasion?"
The short answer is an unequivocal "no".
As the father of four children, two of them graduates of New Rochelle High School and two currently enrolled in our public schools, I find it difficult to even talk about the tragedy at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. I am sure I am not alone.
I have been Newtown a number of times. My nephew, Father Luke Suarez, is a priest assigned to St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Newtown. His grandparents are long-time residents of New Rochelle. Father Luke has visited New Rochelle many times. St. Rose church and parochial school is just down the road from Sandy Hook elementary school and many students from the public school attend CCD classes at St. Rose.
Seven Ten of my nephew's parishioners were killed yesterday - 8 children as well as alleged mass murder Adam Lanza and his mother. He was called by police to the fire house within minutes of the shooting as part of the team set up to receive parents of the victims. Our prayers here at Talk of the Sound go out to the victims, the families, friends, neighbors and those supporting them as they struggle to comprehend, as we all do, an unspeakable tragedy.
As a parent, it is hard not to see the news coverage and wonder "could something like this happen at my child's school?"
While children need to be assured about yesterday's events, adults in New Rochelle need to start asking some tough questions. If they start asking, they are not going to like the answers they're getting. I know. I have been asking these questions for the past several years, documenting one security failure after another in our schools -- rapes, stabbings, guns, intruders hiding in classroom closets.
The sad fact is that the New Rochelle public schools are woefully unprepared for any crisis let alone an active shooter invasion.
Except for the high school our public schools do not even have updated safety plans in place. Every school in New York is required under the S.A.V.E. legislation to have a plan in place, updated once a year, and practiced in coordination with local fire and police. Many of the safety plans in New Rochelle are outdated. They refer to employees who no longer work for the district, contain outdated protocols and procedures and are not tested through evacuation drills. Many of the plan documents still refer to Linda Kelly as the Schools Superintendent.
I have written about this many times, spoken on this topic before the board and made it a campaign issue when I ran for school board in 2011. Time and time again the New Rochelle Board of Education has dismissed my calls for addressing the abysmal security situation in New Rochelle where personnel are more likely to be patronage hires and various flunkies than fully-trained security officers.
What New Rochelle needs is to hire a firm run by experts to conduct a professional security vulnerability and crisis readiness assessments at our schools, to evaluate personnel, develop proper plans and train security teams at each school. We need school leadership that is less worried about getting free golf lessons and more worried about protecting our children.
We need to hire an outside firm because the school district does not have a single employee who is professionally qualified to perform such an assessment. Our current director of school security is a retired detective from the New Rochelle Police Department with no supervisory experience and no background in security vulnerability and crisis readiness assessment. Of the three security officers under him just one has any law enforcement experience.
A 2011 Freedom of Information request filed with the New York State Department of State which licenses security guards listed only eight people as licensed under the City School District of New Rochelle. Seven of the eight had expired licenses -- one was dead. On the list was Joe Johnstone who many will recall retired years ago.
All in all, the entire safety planning situation in New Rochelle is a sick joke.
Parents are entitled to see copies of a summary of their child's schools plan and the entire District-wide Plan. Try it. You will be likely told that the information is confidential "for the safety of the children". Don't buy it. They don't want to show you any documents because parents will see that the district does not have current, updated plans for half the schools or an updated district-wide plan.
But it's not like there are ever incidents at our schools, right?
Talk of the Sound has reported on numerous incidents that require a "lockdown/lockout" including a number of violent incidents or incidents involving weapons in the schools.
Last month, Isaac Young received a report from administrators at Albert Leonard that an Isaac student may be in the building armed with a gun after the student placed the gun to the head of an Albert Leonard 6th-grader on a school bus then exited the bus at Isaac. Police were not called and the school was not put on lockdown. It later turned out the gun was a BB gun but school officials had no way to know that and were required to treat the gun as an active threat until proven otherwise. That did not happen.
In September, police received a report of "shots fired" after a robbery on Drake Avenue. For six hours, police engaged in a manhunt for what was initially thought to be an active shooter search near Jefferson School. Police later stated that reports their robbery suspect had displayed or used a weapon were erroneous. Jefferson School was put on lockdown for three hours. During the manhunt which involved officers from multiple jurisdictions, two helicopters and a bloodhound, the suspect was chased from the roof of a house on Park Ridge, the street behind the school, and onto the the Jefferson School play fields, coming within less than 100 feet of the back entrance to the school. Ten minutes before the students were to be released from the school, the suspect was located at D'Onofrio Field, two blocks from the school. As the police rushed to chase the suspect, students were inexplicably released. At the school, parents were told by school officials that the suspect had not come onto school property. Many parents unaware of the threat walked with their children directly into area where the police were actively searching.
The Security Director for New Rochelle schools never came to the scene that day.
In 2010, the Barnard School Principal waited several hours before calling police to report an intruder inside Barnard school. A man was found by teaching assistant hiding in a closet in a second floor classroom. The school was not put on lockdown. Despite this, the Principal sent home a note and made robocalls to parents telling them the school was put on lockdown because a man had been observed outside the building near a greenhouse.
The Security Director for New Rochelle schools never came to the scene that day either.
In 2008, a student was stabbed by another student at New Rochelle High School. The assailant fled with the weapon. The school was never put on lockdown.
There have many other security incidents in between.
Many parents have come to discover that the school district's robocall system contains inaccurate information -- or no information at all. Some parents who speak only Spanish get calls in English; English-only speakers get calls in Spanish.
Any resident who has walked the halls of the middle schools or high school knows that most security guards spend 90% of their time sitting in a chair reading a book or newspaper. They routinely fail to challenge visitors to the school including those walking in hallways, unescorted, without a security pass sticker. I know. I routinely remove the sticker when visiting schools to see if anyone will challenge my presence in the building. No one ever does.
No students are supposed to be allowed off school grounds during school hours. Yet, if you visit on a given weekday, you will find over a hundred students from the high school on North Avenue hanging out near Chicken Joe's and McDonald's. Among them you will find adults wearing New Rochelle Security shirts.
Last June a student crossing the street at that same corner was struck by a car and went into a seizure.
Few of the security guards are licensed by the school district, some were hired despite being ineligible under civil service laws, some are engaged in illegal sexual acts with students or possess or sell illegal drugs. Last year, a security guard at the high school was detained at ShopRite for shoplifting -- while wearing her New Rochelle School Security shirt. Bruce Daniele was called to the store and the woman was released at his request.
Most disturbing of all is the school's security crisis plans or "safety plans".
Several years ago it was determined that the plans were all significantly out of date. Many of them referred to protocols and procedures that were obsolete and referenced personnel no longer employe by the district. Despite claims in 2009 that the plans would be updated only one, the plan at New Rochelle High School, has been updated by the end of the 2011-12 school year. The group tasked with updating the plans rarely meets. Several more updated plans were put together this fall but have yet to be promulgated, implemented or practice, about half the schools have no current plan. There is no updated district-wide plan.
As part of its crisis management, school officials are required to coordinate evacuation drills with local emergency officials. As part of a recent, district-wide "early dismissal/evacuation drill" no police or fire officials were present at any of the schools. Both departments confirmed that they were never notified of the "early dismissal/evacuation drill" and so unaware of it.
The plans all list alternative "rally points" where children are to be taken in the event of an incident at the school. A review of these plans showed that the alternative locations -- area colleges, beach clubs and other schools -- were unaware of their role in the district's safety plans.
Staff, administrators and students are supposed to be trained regularly on emergency preparedness. This does not happen. After a recent post-Sandy power outage when school was in session, there was no power at all because the antiquated emergency generator failed. The batteries in flashlights stored at points throughout the building, not checked for years, were all dead. Staff had to move throughout the building in the dark to get to the main office to get batteries.
Beyond all of this is the mission of school security officials. The default posture of district security personnel is "inward" not "outward". Security personnel are allocated based on the need to deal with crowd control and physical altercations involving students. The older and bigger the students the more security guards that are assigned. That is why elementary schools are assigned one security guard and the high school has dozens.
With all due respect to the personnel assigned to the elementary schools, they do not have the training or physical strength to deal with a person trying to force their way into the school. During the Barnard intruder incident no one was on post for an hour while the "guard" went to lunch; a note was left telling people to check in at the main office. Apparently the intruder neglected to check-in with one of the school secretaries before roaming around the building at will.
In 2010, a parent forced entry into Columbus Elementary School, past the security guard, entered a classroom and physically assaulted a teacher in front of the class.
The Security Director for New Rochelle schools never came to the scene that day either.
The security situation in the New Rochelle schools is a sick joke. As a parent who has been ringing this bell for years, I can only beg that parents will finally heed the warnings I have made for the past five years.
Every parent needs to ask school administrators direct questions and demand detailed, fully-articulated, documented answers:
- What are the school's crisis management plans?
- How will the school communicate with me during an emergency?
- Does the school have an active shooter response plan?
- Are staff, administrators and students trained regularly on emergency preparedness?
- Do students have alternate escape routes from their classrooms?
- How is access controlled within the school and its classrooms during the day?
- How are visitors at the school monitored?
- When does the school go into lockdown?
The mass shooting in Connecticut, so close to New Rochelle and with so many connections to New Rochelle residents, should be a wake up call.
Parents need to realize that school officials are simply not being truthful about school security. We need an honest, forthright and professional assessment of our schools security needs. We need to end a culture that places hiring from the friends and family network, providing patronage to various constituencies in New Rochelle, ahead of the safety of our children.
The sad fact is that if parents in New Rochelle and across this country do not start asking the right questions and demand adequate responses from our schools this will probably not be the last time that we see a tragedy of this magnitude.
UPDATE: The New Rochelle Board of Education meets Tuesday December 18th at the Linda Kelly Theater at New Rochelle High School. School security is not on the agenda published last week but will likely be added with some remarks during the Superintendent's Report. During the meeting there is a Public Discussion period at which these and other issues will be raised by myself and others. We will be expanding on the issues raised here and providing information never disclosed to the public before. This is a very important issue. If you have any questions about this feel free to contact me.

The Future: Zeigler Returns to the Hardwood
March 26, 2014
FORT WORTH, Texas - After sitting out this past season due to NCAA transfer rules, senior Trey Zeigler is ready to return to the hardwood for one final season in a TCU uniform.
GoFrogs.com takes an inside look at what the Detroit, Mich., native could bring to the Horned Frogs this next season in this week's edition of a closer look inside the TCU men's basketball program.
A 6-5, 203-pound guard, Zeigler sat out this past season in Fort Worth after tranferring from Pittsburgh. Prior to his time with the Panthers, Zeigler spent his first two college campaigns playing at Central Michigan for his father Ernie Zeigler, who was the Chippewas' head coach from 2006-12.
A strong, explosive scorer, Zeigler has totaled nearly 1,150 career points and 450 rebounds in his three college seasons. During his time at Pitt, he appeared in 31 games while helping the Panthers post a 24-9 overall record and NCAA Tournament appearance. Zeigler led the squad twice in scoring, including his top season effort of 18 points during a 93-55 home win over DePaul on Jan. 26.
Zeigler starred for Central Michigan during his first two college seasons from 2010 through 2012, earning All-Mid America Conference honors both years. He became the first Chippewa to join the school's 1,000-point club before the end of his sophomore season while averaging 16.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game during his two years on campus. His freshman campaign saw him finish second in voting for the MAC Freshman of the Year award while averaging a team-high 16.3 points, which ranked No. 3 nationally among freshmen.
Zeigler was a consensus top-30 national recruit out of Mount Pleasant (Mich.) High School. By doing so, he became the highest-rated prep player ever to sign a National Letter of Intent with a MAC school in 2010. He finished runner-up in voting for Michigan "Mr. Basketball" voting as a senior in addition to being named a third-team All-American.

St. Karen the White isn't just Derek's muse -- she's also serving as Jimmy's all-purpose inspiration. As he messes around with the first phrase of an all new song and Kyle... flits about (why, exactly, is he here at all if he's just writing Hit List's book?), Karen suggests that Jimmy tries making the phrase go up at the end instead of down. Just like her debut as Marilyn, or her performance at that random bar mitzvah, or that time she gave gospel singing at an all-black church a whirl, Karen's first stab at composing is a resounding success. Thanks to her, perhaps Jimmy will find his one song glory after all.
Oh, Julia, Julia, Julia. Rebeck's stand-in is, naturally, purple with rage over the constructive comments Peter's class gave Bombshell's book. She's decide to retaliate by meticulously picking apart Peter's own first play, a flop called The Singing Bird. So pretty much, Julia will be treating the play like most Smash viewers treat this show. Very meta, Safran.
Derek is using his patented "sexualize an actress, then scream at her until she is a broken shell" method to try and draw Ronnie into the world of adult Fosse ripoffs. Sadly, the director's dirty dancing take on Purlie's "I Got Love" -- a formerly innocent tune that's been Ronnie's signature number since she was a teenager -- makes his star uncomfortable and her mother livid. When Derek tries to complain about the situation to Ivy, his ex-girlfriend (bless her heart) rolls her eyes and basically says "eff that noise." Four for you, Ivy!
Too bad that Jimmy and Karen choose just this moment to come in and announce that they -- er, he -- has written a song that'll be perfect for Ronnie's concert. Largely because he just feels like being an asshat, Derek tells them that he's not going to bother listening to it. And that Hit List will probably never see the light of day. And that he gave Jimmy foot cream instead of facewash. Fuming, Jimmy goes off to see The Man. (He's gotta get his sickness off.) Sighing like a boy who's holding the world upon his slender, supple shoulders, Kyle goes in search of his errant roommate. And he doesn't invite Karen.
There is one foolproof way to track Jimmy down when he goes on a bender: sing a Billy Joel song at the top of your lungs and hope that the jerk hears you, then reemerges just so he can sneer about how lame Billy Joel is to your face. Kyle's random cover of "Everybody Loves You Now" eventually transitions into Ronnie belting out the same song on an empty stage. Ivy overhears and recommends that she sing that song during the concert -- Veronica Moore: A Tribute to Movin' Out! -- but Ronnie answers that she can't change the program at this late date. Or can she?
NEXT: "I Can't Let Go" proves why we just can't quit Smash

Lung cancer health centre
Chemotherapy for metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer
This information is for people who have non-small-cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (called stage 4 or metastatic disease). It tells you about having chemotherapy. It is based on the best and most up-to-date research.
Does it work?
Yes. If you have non-small-cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of your body (called stage 4 or metastatic disease), you are likely to live about six weeks to 10 weeks longer if you have chemotherapy. Having one of the newer chemotherapy drugs (
Chemotherapy with another newer drug called
What is it?
Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer drugs to kill cancer cells in the lung and all over the body. There are lots of different drugs used in chemotherapy for lung cancer, and lots of different combinations of drugs. Most people have two different drugs.
You'll probably be offered chemotherapy if you have stage 3 or 4 non-small-cell lung cancer. [23] [30] [55]
What drugs are used?
There are lots of drugs used in chemotherapy for lung cancer. Some of the newer drugs (with their brand names) are:
gemcitabine (
Gemzar) irinotecan( Campto)
paclitaxel (
vinorelbine (
docetaxel (Taxotere)
pemetrexed( Alimate).
There are also older drugs, called alkylating agents.
Cisplatinand carboplatinare alkylating agents. They also belong to a class of drugs called platinum drugs.
Other alkylating agents that are sometimes used include
cyclophosphamide(brand name Endoxana) and ifosfamide( Mitoxana).
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the government body that decides which treatments should be available on the NHS. NICE recommends that people with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer should be offered treatment with one of these newer drugs in combination with a platinum drug. [23] [30] For example, you may be given cisplatin with gemcitabine, or cisplatin with vinorelbine. Or you may have carboplatin with paclitaxel or gemcitabine.
You might also have cisplatin with pemetrexed, but only if you have a specific type of non-small-cell lung cancer ( adenocarcinoma or large-cell carcinoma) and you haven't yet had any treatment for your cancer. [56]

My sisters hate me. It makes me so unhappy
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 8:02pm
It's been quite rocky with family over the years. It got worse after dad passed in 1999. Seemed like my sisters could care less about me. Well they'd have contact with me. But and my family were not important to them. It was about themselves or their family. But we still were family who got together on occasion for family things. I know this is going to be long. But had to air out how I been feeling lately. I'm trying to move on. But it's hard.
I'll start with my sister Janet. Janet is married to a guy 12 or so years older Who was a divorcee. He is from Colorado. Which is why she moved there. one year mom took our son who was age 12 at the time to California. To see my aunt and uncle who lived there. They spent a week. Mom had bumped her head on the wall there. When she got up one night to use the bathroom. She was trying to feel for the light switch in the bedroom at my aunt and uncles house. She tripped over her suit case bumping her head. But does not tell anyone till she got back home from the trip. My mother queen of the drama queens. Hams up the head injury. Went to different doctors saying her head hurt bla bla bla. To be told it's nothing serious. She will be fine.
Well at one point my sister Janet who lives in Colorado with her dh. She calls moms family doctor. This was after mom said it was ok to do so. Janet being a physical therapist. She understood the medical stuff. Wanted to know what regular meds mom was on. Can they try to put her on meds she needs. That limit dosing per day to once or twice a day. So mom has it easier remembering when to take meds. Then questions the doctor about moms memory. Sometimes mom acted like she'd forget things. Janet wanted mom to have a mental evaluation. Making sure she is not in some stage of Alzhiemers dissease. Somehow mom got mad. They both had words. Next thing you know. Janet cut mom from her life. Janet would always make me promise never to tell mom she was in town. She wanted nothing from mom. When she'd come for short visits. Which were never to spend quality time with me. She'd spend most her trip to see my sister Mary and her family. Which I will get to Mary soon. Janet could of cared less about myself, dh or our son. She'd give me a couple hours at most of her trip to see me. Then she did not care to visit with our son or dh. Other than to say. Hi. How you doing. Then back on the plane to Colorado. Most times her dh would not come on these visits. Mom would ask about Janet. I wanted no part of that. I'd say I don't know nothing about her. She don't call. This is between you and her.
Janet is very self centered. Only thinks of herself. She has this idea family was out to take advantage of our father. She made a rude remark to dh one time. How dare we use mom and dad as a free baby sitter. Dh tore into her. Said that is not it. We want our son to have a good relationship with his grandparents. He should spend time with them. We lived close enough. Where it was a mile or less to my parents house. Dad enjoyed the grandkids coming over. Then Janet would comment how grandma on moms side of the family should of paid more rent than she did. For the upper of dads duplex. Wth. Grandma was family. As we grew up. She would watch us kids while mom and dad were at work. I told her dad wanted his own mother to live upstairs. He would not charge her rent. But she didn't want that. Then she'd comment one aunt would always ask to be picked up for family events. That why should dad go pick her up. Can't she find her own way there. Hey she's elderly. She didn't feel comfortable taking her car any further than her own neighborhood. Dad never minded picking up his sister. Dh has picked up this aunt on occasion also. Oh when the aunt passed on. Janet didn't say one peep about money left us in her will. Janet took the money did whatever she wanted with it. The aunt was not able to have kids. We were like her kids. She left us everything. Well it was split between us sisters and dad. It was a pretty nice amount we each got.
Mom passes on July 2011. Janet still full of hate for mom. Yes mom was a work of art with extra paint. She wasn't always the best mother to us kids. But she was mom. The person who gave birth to us. Janet and her dh drive up for moms funeral. She agrees to clean out moms apartment. Wow. I offered to help. She booted me out quickly after they got there. I took some things that I figured we could use. Soap, paper towels and stuff like that. So it wouldn't go to waste. Our son then age 22 wanted the vacuum cleaner and tv. That I gave mom one Christmas. Janet rushes me through picking through things. So it comes to moms funeral. Janet says everything is packed up ready to be hauled out. Ok. Thanks. Janet she was not really into moms funeral She did not seem the least bit upset mom passed on. We are at church. Mom wanted a visitation and mass at her parish. Done by her pastor. Fr. Lawrence. After church is over. Janet pulls me to the side. Says her and her dh are not coming to the funeral lunch. They got to get on the road back to Colorado now. He dh has to be back for work. This was on a Friday. He did not have to work till Monday. So what was 2 or 3 hours longer going to put them in the trip home. They both drive. So they'd take turns driving. They'd be back late Saturday night. Or very early Sunday morning. That's her excuse for leaving after the funeral mass. Later on I realized she didn't want nothing to do with moms side of the family. She would not even be in the room with them if she didn't have to. So sitting down to lunch was out. Then Saturday the day after moms funeral. The residents at the senior housing apartments threw mom a memorial. For all those who couldn't come to church. They put out coffee and cake. My family and some aunts and uncle and some cousins came to the memorial. We went up to moms apartment to see how wll janet cleaned it up. Everything is all boxed up and in the living room. I told family. They can pick through boxes for a momento of mom.. They wanted pictures. Those were all gone. We didn't even see mom and dads wedding book. Picture frames with no pictures. My Aunt Alice loudly said Janet threw them out. At the funeral all that was there was a small box of pictures. If Janet threw them all out. That was wrong of her to do. No matter what kind of person mom was.
At that time. We were not sure where mom would be buried. She was cremated. A cousin offered to keep moms urn. While burial spot was decided on. Well there was some legal stuff before we could spend her money on the burial. I was to creeped out to keep the urn in my house. It wouldn't matter who was in the urn. A year later. All the money is resolved. It is decided mom will be put in the grave next to dad. That his parents left for family. Janet was angry with that. She says mom has no business being put next to dad. After the way she was over the years. I said well dad did not say in writing legally. Mom could not have that grave. She said she'd come in town to get the urn and put it somewhere. I said I don't have it. Cousin Bonnie has it. I don't have her phone number right now to call her.
At that point I don't tell Janet moms burial was scheduled to take place September 15th 2012. We made arrangements with the cemetary. Mom wanted to go in the casket with dad. According to Catholic cemetery rules no urn can go in with a casket burial But 2 urns can share one regular size grave. So we figured ok. mom will go next to dad. Our mentally disabled sister who lives in a group home. She was allowed by the state to have 5,000$ for her funeral. It was in a trust. That's enough for a cremation and urn,funeral mass and to be put in the grave with mom. If your looking at todays prices. Auntie Alice on moms side of the family took care of the burial arrangements. She was executor of moms estate. It was all planned with a lawyer along with the church who runs the cemetery. So no one can just come and have mom dug up and moved. A week after moms burial. I finally tell Janet where we put mom. Layed it all out on the table for her.
That is when I got this very rude and long email from Janet. How the family could of done the decent thing. Finding another place for mom to be put and a bunch of other rude stuff she said about the family. I printed out that email. Gave my aunts a copy of it. When we were at a funeral for a cousin who passed on some months later. Told them to read it when they get home. My aunts were all disgusted with what Janet wrote. I wrote back to Janet. Laying it out on the line how I felt I sent her like 2 pages of email. Telling her how things were growing up. To not place blame on moms side of the family. They were nothing but good to us. Shared their kids clothes with us. When their kids out grew them. Then when dad was out of work. How Uncle Richie sent over gallons of milk for us kids. That if you got blame to place. Put it on most of dads family. That it was grandma on his side was mean. She'd hollar in German everytime I sat on her bed and wrinkled the bed spread. This was when I was like 4yrs old. She lived with us in a rented lower of a duplex till dad bought his own house. Everyone but Auntie Anita on dads side was mean to us. They never helped dad out while he was layed off looking for other work. Moms family did that. Told Janet she wasn't around for mom in her last years of life. She wanted nothing to do with her. It was dh our son and I dealt with everything of mom. I told her in her time of need. If she spites all her family. She might have to rely on the kindness of strangers. Not that I would never help her in her time of need. But pointed out some people might think that way. That is when Janet cut me from her life. Janet does not know I gave a copy of the rude mean email she wrote me about moms family.
On to my sister Mary. She thought she was better than everyone. Because she has a masters degree in teaching. She was married 3 times. She marries first dh Mike a year after I got married in a civil ceremony. They lived in California. She was still in college. They had no kids together. She brings him back our state to live. Figuring he just got out of the Navy. He'd have to find work. Which dh's brother hooked him up with job. They lived in the upper of dads duplex. Since grandma on moms side was already deceased. Paid dad rent and all that. The marriage did not work out. When our son was like 2yrs old Mary gets divorced from Mike.
Finished up teaching degree. Moves and hour out of town for her first job. Had an apartment for a bit. Then was dating some guy Dave. He wanted to get married. But she changed her mind. Breaks up. Starts dating a guy Tom. He seems like the family type. Someone a woman would want for a dh. She marries him in a full Catholic cermemony. Like this marriage was intended to be for life. Has 3 kids. They build a house together. I think the oldest her son was like 10yrs old. She divorces Tom. Says he won't let her be the person she wants to be. Mary was also a bit self centered. She'd want all the nice things in life. Would get mad if she didn't get them. Tom was more frugal. Preferred to save more of his money. When Mary wanted a new washer and dryer for their house. She said lets get these front loader ones that were at least 2,000$ for the set. He said no. Lets get a standard washer dryer set. They will work just as well. He was a great father and all that. Mary didn't like to sometimes be told how things will be. They sold that house they had built. Split the money going their separate ways. He bought a place on one side of town. She on the other. Visitation was set at. She'd get them through the week during school time. So one parent made sure the kids went to school and that. He'd get them on weekends. Then they had scheduled vacations. Where he'd take them somewhere for a week or whatever time they agreed on legally with the court. They'd share holidays. Pretty much like many other divorced couples with kids. Mom would always ask me why Mary got divorced. I'd say I don't know. Mom always wanted to know our deep dark secrets.
When mom passed. Mary was being very difficult with the funeral plans. Mom made it clear long before she passed. She wants Fr. Lawrence to do her funeral mass. When we were making arrangements for that. Fr. Lawrence was to be leaving on a scheduled trip for priests at noon on Friday July 15th. He could do her mass Thursday the night before Or if we would rather it be done no later than 11am. All us but Mary were ok with that. She said it will be at noon on the 15th.. No iffs ands or buts. I said no matter what mom was over the years. Give her,her last final wish. Fr. Lawrence and family begged her to change her mind. She would not budge. So we ended up with a priest from the Diocese. Fr. Bruce. Although he winged it good putting on a funeral for mom. Not knowing her at all. It was not the final wish mom had. I was angry. Even at one point told family. If Mary don't like the time we chose for mass. She can kiss my grits. Lets just do it at 11am. The aunts and uncles said well we can't do that. Mary's kids should be at grandmas funeral. If we did another time. It would make them not come. That was more of Mary being spiteful to get her way. Later on the reason Mary would not budge on time of the funeral. She was going to the airport to pick up her then bf Frank. Which none of us really knew much about. Just she'd been dating him long distance. As he lives in Albuquerque.
It wasn't till Labor Day weekend 2011 she tells me she is engaged to Frank. No date set for the wedding. She'd let us know what the plans are. We're trying to plan Christmas. Mary kept avoiding picking a date. Making excuses of not doing nothing till after January. At that point I had presents bought for everyone. Well got them all gift cards. Just because the kids are now teens. It's hard to buy for them. I figured they'd have fun doing their own shopping spending up the gift cards. Then comes December 29 2011. I'm on Facebook. It's afternoon. I see on Mary's Facebook. She just got married to Frank. She posted pictures of a ceremony that took place in her living room. By the J.O.P. I assume. No one knew of the secret wedding. One of her friends was almost going to stop over for a visit. But changed her mind. As she posted comment to Mary's wedding announcement
At this point we really didn't have much of a relationship. She felt she was more right in her beliefs. Tried telling me how wrong I am for being more conservative. That I don't care about the people I should care about. She called me some words. Even said I was unchristian like. Dh wrote her a 2 page email Explaining a lot of things. Why we Catholics believe as we do. Putting her in her place. Dh is good at writing.. He wrote like a theology class he took at the Catholic university. She wrote back with really no comment but Oh. Ok. Knowing dh was right in his words I assume. Then she'd be mad if I dared talk conservative to my other friends on Facebook. Most my friends are Conservatives. I told Mary. It doesn't matter if your Liberal and I'm Conservative. Can't we agree to disagree. At some point she got more upset with my beliefs. Starts commenting on all my mistakes I made over the years. I said yes I made mistakes. But learned from them. You. You must not of learned. Your on dh 3. You think that is fine. What you going to do when this marriage don't work. You gave up everything where you came from. So you have nothing not even a job to go back to. That was when she said Good Bye. I said have nice life in Albuquerque with Frank. Now she has her kids during the school year there. Their father gets them for Christmas and some of summer break. He's been nothing but good to his kids. He got cheated on the visitation. But Mary acts like Frank is more their father than their bio father is. I see pictures of all the nice things Frank gives them. That's her spiteful way. The marriage didn't work. So she figured spite him. By being ugly with the custody deal. I have not spoke to Mary in a little over a year. Hadn't seen her or her kids physically since moms funerall July 15-2011. What gets me. Is Mary setting her self up for divorce again? Her first 2 marriages she took on the dh's last names. Marriage 3 to Frank. She kept her maiden name. I don't think it was for business reasons.
Hadn't seen Janet since that time. Hadn't talked to her since September. I'm the only one who was around for family. Mary and Janet always had excuses of not coming around. After Mary cut me from her life. I spent up the gift cards that were for her and her kids. Since she was not wanting to be part of my life. I'm not allowed to speak to her kids. Although I do know exactly where she lives in Albuquerque. Well at one point I had Franks phone number. Because we were all friends on Facebook. So I did a reverse phone search. It said was Frank and the address. So I looked on their city web page. The property search. Looked up the address that matched the phone number. It says it is a house. Owned by Frank. I look up the house on Google Maps. It's a really nice house with a pool in the yard. So Mary is living it up nicely with Frank and her kids. I won't be contacting her at that address anytime soon. Not unless there was some big family emergency. like someone passed on. Of course I won't put a return address on the envelope. Or she'd just return it back to me. I'd make sure the address is typed on not hand written where it was going. So she wouldn't suspect is was me.
Since Mary blocked me from Facebook. I log in under a different profile. Just to see what she posts of her kids. I'm sure not everything she posts is public. But will never hit share on her stuff. I might right click and save the image to my computer. But also posted the pictures on a photo storage site online. In case my computer crashes. There isn't a day go by I don't think about Mary's kids. I watch the kids growing up. They are 14,15 and 16. Well the son will be 17 in June. Her middle child a dd is my God child. Janet does not have any kids. Then the sister Jackie who is mentally disabled She don't really know any of us. If we go see her. But do know she is being well cared for at this group home. There are 4 or 5 other girls who live there. They have CNA's a nurse and a psychologist or maybe it's a psychiatrist. Who monitors meds and that.

It gets uglier yet. I got a call last night. My aunt from Arizona called. She says Janet is attempting to have moms urn dug up. Says mom don't belong next to dad. Is causing all sorts of trouble. Supposedly she called the cemetery. Demanded they dig up moms urn. They said no. She has no legal rights to it. Janet don't contact me about that. If I wrote to either Mary or Janet. They would just return the letter to me. Not even opening it. They treat me like the black sheep. I called our son James Who is 24. Lives on his own. Told him Auntie Janet wants to dig up your grandmas urn. He said she is sick. Mental in the head. Then he said I fear for you and dad. Auntie Janet might come shoot you. I said I doubt that. That yes she'd have the balls to attempt to dig up moms urn. But not to go shoot anyone. So James says. If something happens to you or dad. He will spend his every last cent to find out who done it. I'm just going to go on with my life as I been. Not worrying what Mary and Janet are doing. Dh says if Janet does manage to dig up the urn. He will make a mockary of her. He will go to the media to make a big issue. How dare someone go dig up a mothers grave. Publicly embarass Janet. I told my aunt when she called. That I will give out Mary and Janets current addresses and phone numbers. And addresses of people they are connected with where they live. I would love peace with all my sisters. But they refuse to have anything to do with me.
|Wed, 04-10-2013 - 1:55pm
Ew, that is tough. I get along really well with my sisters and one of my sisters is my best friend. The other is mentally ill (Bipolar Disorder) and we have to be very careful because she is easily offended and not easy to deal with when she is offended. Have you tried to reach out to Mary with a nice "thinking about you" card? Maybe try sending her one through the mail and keep your message to her brief and light.

The Alcoholic That Doesn't Believe He Is An Alcoholic
Denial is one of the Key Factors that Prevents and Alcoholic from Seeking Alcoholism Treatment
One of the greatest factors that can prevent an alcoholic from getting alcoholism treatment is denial. In fact, denial is considered to be one of the clearest signs of alcoholism. Denial is a defense mechanism that has enabled the alcoholic to justify their own behavior. One major symptom of the disease of alcoholism is that it prevents the alcoholic from seeing the truth of their situation. In most circumstances, alcoholics are unable to recognize they have developed a dependency on alcohol.
Alcoholics also have learned how to rationalize their drinking problem. In other words, they can come up with a number of excuses for why their lives have become unmanageable and fail to recognize that their drinking habits are causing negative consequences. Alcoholics will also tend to blame others for their circumstances. For example, they may blame their spouse or children as the cause of why they continue to drink.
The greatest impediment, however, is the mere fact that alcoholics avoid treatment because they have been able to avoid the consequences associated with their destructive drinking patterns. In these situations, they have often been enabled to continue to drink by family, friends, and those that have consistent contact with them. Enablers protect the alcoholic from the consequences of their drinking. They may take on added responsibilities, lie to friends and family, or simply pretend there isn't a problem at all.
Similar to the alcoholic, enablers will often come up with excuses for their role in the alcoholic's life. They often fail to recognize the negative consequences that occur as a result of their loved one's drinking habits. More importantly, they fail to recognize the gravity of the alcoholism disease. Enablers tend to want to avoid coming to terms with the fact that alcoholism is destroying their lives.
The first step towards alcohol recovery is acknowledging there is a problem. Seeking professional treatment is often necessary to help the alcoholic come to terms with their seriousness of their disease. If you or a loved one is suffering from the disease of alcoholism, it's important to get medical attention and help from an addiction specialist.

How To Help An Alcoholic
How To Help An Alcoholic: Dealing With Denial
Although many alcoholics can recognize that they may have a drinking problem, few of them have the ability to identify that they are truly alcoholic. Regardless of how much their drinking is causing havoc in their lives, they still believe their drinking is not the problem. This phenomenon is known as denial.
For most alcoholics, denial is the number one obstacle in getting help. Getting honest with one self proves to be a difficult task as no one wants to believe they have problem. More importantly, no one wants to see themselves as alcoholic due to the many connotations and stereotypes that are associated with alcoholism.
Unfortunately, the alcoholic stereotype often refers to the late-stage alcoholic. Late stage alcoholics are perceived as those who have completely bottomed out. They are individuals that have lost everything as a result of their drinking. Society sees them as drifters, bums, the mentally deranged and physically debilitated. For many, alcoholism is incorrectly perceived as a moral issue.
Medical professionals can also fall victim to such stereotypes. Even
in the earlier to middle stages of alcoholism, many medical professionals will simply suggest the need to cut back on one's drinking and fail to adequately recognize the signs of alcoholism. This also occurs in the mental health industry. There are many qualified psychiatrist, psychologist and therapist that fail to recognize the signs of alcoholism and believe that the alcoholics presenting symptoms relate to underlying emotional or psychological issues.
Alcoholics usually develop the ability to rationalize their drinking. They tell themselves they aren't truly alcoholic because they do not want to see themselves as flawed, weak, or morally irresponsible. More importantly, the alcoholic can not identify their alcoholism because of the nature of their addiction. The addicted brain can not acknowledge there is a problem because if it were to do so, it would threaten its ability to continue to feed the alcohol addiction. A curious and fatal loop!
The family can also struggle with issues of denial. Issues of shame and embarrassment often come with the awareness that a loved one is, indeed, alcoholic. For many, alcohol abuse and alcoholism is seen as a weakness and can be a poor reflection on the family as a whole. More importantly, many families do not want to deal with the crisis at hand and prefer to pretend as though everything is as it should be: the neutral status quo.
If you or someone you love is in denial, the first step always includes getting honest. There may be situations where the family and close friends have to do an intervention on a loved one. This involves sharing with the alcoholic the impact their drinking is having on their lives. It includes one family member getting honest with another in the hopes that the alcoholic can recognize the devastation their drinking is causing in their own lives as well as the lives of those they care about.

There is no uniform attendance policy set by the college. Attendance regulations are established by each instructor and will be distributed at the start of each semester.
Leave of Absence, Medical Leave of Absence, Withdrawal from College
The Undergraduate Application for Leave of Absence/Withdrawal from College form can be obtained in the Academic Advisement Center, South Wing 100/110, (716) 878-5223, or in the student's academic department office. Students in a major should begin the application process by conferring with their department chair. Undeclared students should meet with the coordinator of the Academic Advisement Office.
Refunds of tuition, if applicable, will be made on a prorated basis as outlined in the class schedule for that semester. Financial aid recipients who withdraw or take a leave of absence may owe a refund of aid they received for the semester. For additional information about financial aid, refer to the financial aid section of this catalog or: www.buffalostate.edu/offices/finaid.
Medical Leave of Absence
Medical leaves of absence of varying lengths of time are granted for documented serious injury or illness. After obtaining a Leave of Absence/Withdrawal form, students requesting a medical leave of absence should report to the Weigel Health Center. To receive a medical leave of absence, students must complete the form and provide a physician's statement that includes the specific semester(s) for which the leave is being requested, diagnosis/reason for the leave request, and a recommendation from the physician that the medical leave be granted.
Leave of Absence
Matriculated students who wish to leave the college for personal or financial reasons may be granted leaves of absence of two full years (four fall/spring semesters) beyond the semester in which they were last registered, as long as they are in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 2.0. A leave will not be granted to study at another college or university.
An application for a leave during a semester already in progress must be received in the Registrar's Office, Moot Hall, no later than the last working day before the Critique and Evaluation period. Note: Deadline is now the same as Withdrawal from College.
These approved leaves will begin at the date the request is received in the Registrar's Office.
Withdrawal from College
To maintain good academic standing and eligibility for readmission to the college, students finding it necessary to withdraw must do so officially. Failure to file for withdrawal will result in the recording of an E grade in each course in which the student is registered. When it is impossible to withdraw in person, it must be done in writing from the student to the dean. Students withdrawing officially with no outstanding obligations or commitments to the college are considered to be in good academic standing.
The chair and associate dean must sign the Withdrawal from College form. A request to withdraw from the college must be received in the Registrar's Office, Moot Hall, no later than the last working day before the critique and evaluation period.
Withdrawal from Courses
Instructors are required to notify students of their academic standing no later than the end of the ninth week of the semester, or after two-thirds of a summer session or intersemester. If a student does not officially withdraw from a course and stops attending, a grade of E will be recorded.
Students who wish to leave a course after the drop/add period and before the final withdrawal date (the end of the 10th week of the semester, or after two-thirds of a summer session or intersemester) may file withdrawal forms signed by the appropriate instructor or designee. Nonattendance at the first class meeting does not withdraw a student from a class.
Students withdrawing from some coursework may be eligible for a refund in accordance with the college refund schedule, which is published each term in the course schedule. Beyond the end of the refund schedule's time limit, full charges are assessed. Student-teaching courses have different deadlines. Students should check with their departments.
Withdrawals remain on the transcript and are recorded as W's but do not count in credit hours or GPAs. Withdrawal from a course may affect eligibility for financial aid in the current semester and in future semesters. For additional information about financial aid eligibility, refer to the financial aid section of this catalog, or online at www.buffalostate.edu/financialaid.

Honda Replacement 3rd Brake Light
The distinguishing charm of a refined Honda is the essence of first-rate know-how, design and power. Injury accidents are a fact of life traveling in a car or truck, but drivers can reduce the odds of causing a catastrophe just by purchasing or maintaining the safety systems like signal lights or brake components. The most critical element of a car's construction is the safety equipment.
The third brake light is a red light that is generally mounted at the back of your vehicle and becomes illuminated as you decelerate. Driving without a Third Brake Light can be dangerous and is illegal in all states. A functioning Third Brake Light helps keep your family secure by helping to thwart rear-end collisions.
Having a Third Brake Light on a vehicle will reduce car accidents that occur when you have to slow down. A car's Third Brake Light is an extra brake light that is mounted in the rear window to warn drivers behind you that you are about to stop. The car's Third Brake Light is a third brake light that is attached higher than your vehicle's other brake lights so it is noticed by other drivers as you slow down. A Third Brake Light is a centrally located brake light that is attached higher than your other brake lights so it is noticed by other drivers.

December 19, 2014
LAS VEGAs (AP) - The Las Vegas City Council has ordered staff members to research the possibility of allowing medical marijuana dispensaries within city limits.
The measure was approved 5-2 at a City Council meeting Wednesday, with council members Lois Tarkanian and Stavros Anthony dissenting.
Dispensaries are not allowed under a six-month moratorium that expires in March, but Wednesday's vote allows the council to revisit the issue.
Nevada voters approved medical marijuana in 2000, but that law provided no legal way for patients to obtain the drug except to grow it themselves.
Lawmakers passed a law in 2013 that sets up a framework for distributing medical marijuana, although it allows cities and counties to impose moratoriums.

Creative Loafing "Best of Atlanta" – Best Real Estate Developer – 2004
2004 Creative Loafing "Best of Atlanta"
Is this a joke? After all, developers give us sprawl, traffic and corrupt land-use schemes cooked up with their crony politicians. But Atlanta does have several real estate good guys, CHARLES BREWER chief among them. Brewer is using the fortune he earned after founding MindSpring to build a 28-acre development sandwiched between Grant Park and East Atlanta. Unlike the typical cookie-cutter subdivision, Glenwood Park will be a mixed-income, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly community -- a beacon for new urbanism movement, complete with a storm water retention pond and energy-saving homes.

NEW YORK - In yet another example of how a single mobile device - the iPad - is revolutionizing travel, luxury hotel operator Four Seasons has found that the tablet computer accounts for 86% of its mobile room revenues.
In the five months since the Toronto-based company unveiled its website better geared for mobile travelers, it also found that people using iPads are more likely to make a transaction than those using mobile phones, Four Seasons marketing chief Susan Helstab told me last week over breakfast at the Four Seasons hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
USA TODAY POLL: What's your top iPad task in hotels?
MORE ONLINE: iPads account for most room-service orders at Bel-Air
MORE ONLINE: Hotel occupancy levels, rates rise
How much more likely? The so-called "conversion" of website visits to revenue on an iPad is five times that of a mobile phone, she says.
The stats appear to validate the company's digital marketing strategy. Four Seasons in January launched an updated and upgraded website for iPads, iPhones and Androids - instead of releasing one or multiple apps like other chains. The effort cost $18 million.

Among other things, Four Seasons' new site recognizes customers and lets them save their interests, incorporates customer reviews from other websites, provides more chances to book to prevent the hassle of going backward, and incorporates user-photos.
So why is the conversion rate so much higher on the iPad than on mobile phones?
"It has the content that people look for," Helstab told me, "but also allows for spontaneous decisions. Even if you are already at a hotel."
The content also looks big and beautiful on the tablet - in short, so good that you want to buy the dream.
Most Four Seasons customers - 60% - own the pricey gadgets, according to Four Seasons' internal research.
Apps will play a role
Four Seasons plans to invest more in mobile - and apps will play a role, Helstab says.
Apps will be a good fit for specific interests, such as weddings, which have a long planning period that require repeat visits and the saving of content, she says.
Just last month, Four Seasons released its weddings app that lets brides connect with gown designers, learn about diamonds, and understand the time table for wedding planning, she says.
iPad owners: Are you more likely to book travel on your iPad than on your mobile phone? Why or why not?

The Benefits of Small Business Outsourcing
Being a small business owner can prove to be a stressful venture as I have experienced over my years of being an entrepreneur. With the ample amount of different tasks that are required of entrepreneurs on a daily basis, attempting to complete all of the tasks efficiently and within a timely manner can be too much for a single individual to have to deal with. For this sole reason I have compiled a list of tips for entrepreneurs that will provide you with the ability to learn about small business outsourcing and how you can effectively manage your employees and your own personal time.
One of the largest benefits that I have experienced from learning how to outsource online is that I have increased the amount of personal time that I have during the day. Rather than having to go home at the end of work and still be thinking and/or working on projects I have given myself the ability to leave work within the office. With the use of outsourcing I am essentially able to delegate tasks and projects to other individuals who will then complete them for me for a minimal cost. Not only does this help to increase my general personal time but it also helps to increase the productivity that my business experiences.
Considering that productivity is of the utmost importance for small business owners you are constantly looking for ways that you can increase the amount of product that you develop and/or the services that you provide. Unfortunately without an ample amount of time you may find it difficult to develop new products and services. Rather than trying to fit time into an already jam packed schedule, outsourcing will help you to have more projects completed at once. The majority of small business owners depend on themselves to complete all relevant tasks but small business outsourcing provides you with the opportunity to complete several different projects simultaneously.
As one of the most prevalent tips for entrepreneurs, learning how to outsource online will decrease your stress and help you to enjoy owning and operating a business. With the ability to send projects to other individuals and have them complete them you will not only have time to focus on other aspects of your life but you will also be provided with the opportunity to better your business as a whole. If you are like me and are looking for an efficient way to benefit from owning a small business, utilize small business outsourcing.

Attorneys General Partner with DEA, Law Enforcement in Second Successful National Drug Take-Back Day
Attorneys General across the country participated in the second National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 30. The public turned in 376,593 pounds (188 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at one of more than 5,300 drop off sites. This is 55 percent more than the 242,000 pounds (121 tons) the public brought in during a similar day in September 2010 according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which led the effort. NAAG serves as an organizational partner.
Preventing drug abuse and promoting prescription drug safety remain a priority for the chief legal officers of the states. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin are just two examples of Attorneys General who spearheaded drug take back efforts in their respective states.
Sixty agencies in Indiana collected 8,096 pounds of unused prescription drugs across 85 sites -- up from 5,709 pounds collected across 53 sites last year. This second Take-Back Day also coincided with new legislation that was recently passed in response to the increased prescription drug abuse in the state. The House Enrolled Act 1121 revises statutory and regulatory requirements so pharmacies will be able to accept unused prescription drugs from consumers and dispose of them without the need for a monitoring police presence.
"The last Drug Take Back event demonstrated pent-up demand for a convenient way to dispose of old drugs. With the new law, pharmacies will be able to develop approved programs so they will be able to accept unused medication more often -- or continuously, if they choose," said Attorney General Zoeller.
In some other states, pharmacies already provide disposal bins where consumers can safely discard unneeded prescription pills, tablets and liquids. For pharmacies to offer in-store drug-disposal sites in Indiana without a police presence, however, state statute had to be changed. The House Enrolled Act 1121 will allow the Indiana Board of Pharmacy to adopt new rules allowing pharmacies to offer disposal programs supervised by private store security officers rather than local law enforcement officers.
Attorney General Kilmartin partnered with local police departments, as well as the Department of Elderly Affairs and the Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH) to target constituencies that are high users of prescription medications and are at greater risk of being a victim of theft or fraud. Attorney General Kilmartin credits this cooperation for the dramatic increase in participation and awareness in Rhode Island. The number of participating law enforcement agencies increased from 14 the first year to 30 this year. The state collected 1,716 pounds— up from 780 pounds during the September 2010 event.
Other partners that joined in this collaborative effort include the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy; the American Association of Poison Control Centers; the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America; D.A.R.E. America; the Federation of State Medical Boards; the U. S. Health Resources and Services Administration; the International Association of Chiefs of Police; the National Family Partnership; the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives; the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy; the National District Attorneys Association; the National Sheriffs Association; and The Partnership at Drugfree.org.

Early Goal Directed Therapy of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. Emanual Rivers, 2001.
The ground breaking study showing a mortality advantage of a flow sheet algorithm for a 6-hr resuscitation bundle that uses target levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), urine output and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2). Implemented in the Emergency Department this study provided much of the rationale for the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines.
Lactate Clearance vs. Central Venous Oxygen Saturation as Goals of Early Sepsis Therapy A Randomized Clinical Trial. Jones 2010.
Elevated serum lactate is an important marker of the adequacy of tissue perfusion and is associated with increased mortality. Lactate > 4 mMol is representative of organ dysfunction and when coupled with SIRS and suspected source of infection a patient is defined as having severe sepsis. A goal of resuscitation is to reduce lactate to <2 mMol or decrease lactate 'clearance' more than 10% per hour. The use of 10% lactate clearance may be as effective as using ScvO2 > 70% as target for the resuscitation bundle.

Kingston, Jamaica
A black and white stripe dress with a touch of green rolled hem around the edges of the flounces. The style was inspired by leanne marshall 1877 with some modification. The length of the dress was adjusted. making it longer. A metal zipper was added at the back. The flounces remain the usually length because I ran out of fabric. The top edge of the flounce was attached to the top of the dress.
I think my style adjustment turned out great.
What do u think?

There will be a grace period from now until I visit. I won't f^;9ing get into it but she gave me a lousy excuse that she won't be in town while I'm visiting the week I'm there. Something about a lousy snowboarding trip. I don't even believe her at all. As soon as she left school to go home I've hardly talked to her at all.
I'm trying to get over it but I still think about her. I think the only thing will help would be finding someone else. It will proba my be awhile until that happens. Usually these things come every great once in awhile for me.
I just wonder if this was doomed from the start. I think back and remember everything with what I know now. I just seem to think she wasn't interested at all. Then I wonder wut I shud do if she still wants to see me. I am probably crazy for thinking that but it is a possibility. If that does happen I really won't know wut to say. I don't think it will be pretty cuz I'm pretty pissed off on the inside and I don't forgive easy. Why shud I forgive someone like this? She knows she's part of the reason I am visiting there.
But then there's a part of me (small part) that really wonders if she did want to see me. Of course I don't think I will never know. Communication with her is so atrocious that I don't know wut her real thoughts, emotions, fears and intentions are. I guess I thrive on conversation that delves into that realm. I cud never talk about that stuff with her because she only gave one word answers. Answers that consisted of "I dunno", "yea", "lol", and "maybe." I just feel kind of dumb putting up with that crap.
I guess this won't be easy to get over. I think I'm making progress but I think she will always be with me in memory and only time will heal me.
I guess I'll still update this if something happens but I just have to pretend she doesn't exist. At least I don't have to worry anymore. That's the first thing I realized after I knew I wudnt be seeing her. I really dont think I cud see her anyway now. What wud be the point in that?
