(SportsNetwork.com) - Something has to be going right if Roger Staubach is on your side.
The former Dallas Cowboys great and Hall of Famer cannot believe the criticism Tony Romo is getting and feels he is the reason the team can still have a "very good season" at 2-3.
Romo and the Cowboys are coming off an emotional loss at home and face another stiff challenge Sunday against the NFC East-rival Washington Redskins at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys came so close to upending Peyton Manning and the red-hot Denver Broncos in last weekend's 51-48 loss, but a late interception by Romo allowed the visitors to march into scoring position and kick a game-winning field goal.
The interception by Romo, just the second of the season, was his only flaw of the game and eventually dropped the Cowboys to 2-3. But Romo threw for a franchise-record 506 yards on 25-of-36 passing with five touchdowns. Not even Staubach could pull off those numbers and is in Romo's corner.
"He played one of the most sensational games I've ever seen," Staubach recently told The Dallas Morning News. "It makes no sense. Those people who blame him, I don't know, they ought to take a look at their lives.
"I've been a quarterback and I know this guy is playing great football. Seeing critics blame these tough losses, especially this game, on him sends a message to me that some people will never cut him a break. I can't believe it."
Dallas fans can remember when Romo blew a botched snap on a field-goal attempt in the playoffs a few years ago and Sunday's loss conjured up sour memories. Even Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes the criticism of Romo, who has just one playoff win under his belt and signed a megadeal this offseason, will continue to linger until he comes through in the clutch.
"They will ... until he wins the Super Bowl," Jones said after the Broncos loss. "And then when they do that, the guy standing over on the other sideline or up in the box, (Denver executive VP) John Elway, had those things said about him his entire career ... or things like that said about that his entire career. He was a great player, and we all know that. He ultimately got his Super Bowls, and they don't really say that about him anymore."
Winning a Super Bowl may seem far-fetched right now for Romo and the Cowboys, but they're still in the lead in the less-than-stellar NFC East, so anything is possible. The Cowboys had a Super Bowl-winning offense on display in Week 5, racking up a game-best 522 yards of offense with only 52 coming on the ground. The game turned into a track meet and both defenses were gassed, especially in the defensive backfield.
Dallas, which has lost two in a row and three of four games since knocking off the rival New York Giants in the season opener, allowed 517 yards to the Broncos and Manning finished 33-of-42 for 414 yards and four touchdowns. He was intercepted for the first time this season by Cowboys young cornerback Morris Claiborne, who was criticized by head coach Jason Garrett in the week leading up to the game. Claiborne also had two of Dallas' tipped passes.
The Cowboys should be concerned how poorly they played against the pass and run, as Denver registered 103 yards rushing, including 93 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries by Knowshon Moreno. That could be trouble with Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III and running back Alfred Morris coming to Big D after their bye week. Griffin may not be the same as he was during his rookie campaign and can still make plays with his legs.
Either way the Cowboys are still confident in their defense.
"I have an unbelievable amount of faith in our teammates, in this defense and in the coaches," Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee said. "We're going to find a way to get it better. As players, it's on us to make more plays. "We haven't been able to get off the field. We haven't executed well. That's squarely on us as players to find a way to get better."
With the luxury of winning a division title comes a rough schedule the following season. Perhaps that's why the Redskins have limped out to a 1-3 record this season. The upcoming schedule appears gloomy for the Redskins, who have Dallas, Chicago, Denver and San Diego on the docket over the next month.
The Redskins finally cracked the win column in Week 4, posting a 24-14 road win against the Oakland Raiders. It didn't look good early on with the 'Skins staring down a 14-0 deficit after the first quarter, but they responded with 24 unanswered points. Griffin completed 18 of his 31 pass attempts for 227 yards and a touchdown and Morris ran for 71 yards on 16 carries to help the Redskins snap a three-game slide.
Morris, who set the franchise's single season record for most rushing yards in 2012, isn't worried about his touches and just wants to help his team win. The Redskins have been playing from behind, so typically teams opt to pass the football more to save time.
"Each week I feel like I'm getting better and better. It's not really carries; it's just going out there and getting snaps in live game time situation," Morris said. "I'm getting quite a few snaps. It may not be carries but I'm still in there on passing downs (and) I'm still in there blocking."
Morris was able to rest some sore ribs suffered in Oakland and X-rays were negative. Morris said his ribs "are fine," but a little tender. He has 313 rushing yards and four touchdowns in two career games against the Cowboys and ran for 200 yards and three scores in the previous encounter. Morris owns 1,040 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns since Week 12 of last season. It will be interesting to see how the Redskins plan for a Cowboys defense that was shredded in all facets of the game versus Denver.
It's evident the offense is what will carry the Redskins to more wins. That was proven during their NFC East title run of 2012. Wide receiver Pierre Garcon led the Redskins with six receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders, and has 29 catches through the first four games - the most by a Redskin over the team's first four games in the Super Bowl era.
And it all comes back to Griffin, a native of Copperas Cove, TX. RG3 is less than a year removed from undergoing knee surgery and seems to have shaken off the rust from a Week 1 loss at home to Philadelphia. Griffin is 2-0 in his career against the Cowboys and shredded them for 304 yards and four TDs for a 131.8 quarterback rating in the last meeting between the teams. Despite a 1-3 record, the Redskins still have one of the top offenses in the league and rank first in the NFC and tied for third in the NFL in red zone touchdown efficiency (63.6). And because of Morris, the 'Skins are third in the league in rushing yards per attempt (4.8).
The Redskins are 0-1 in the NFC East and winless (0-3) against the conference this season, while Dallas is 1-0 in the division and 2-0 in the NFC. Washington handed the Cowboys a 28-18 loss in a winner-take-all showdown in Week 17 last season to secure its first NFC East title since 1999. A win on Sunday for the Redskins would give them their first three-game winning streak against Dallas since winning four straight across the 1986-88 seasons.
Eleven of the last 12 meetings between these division foes have been decided by seven points or less. The Redskins trail the overall series with Dallas, 42-62-2, and are 40-62-2 in the regular season.
Sunday's back-and-forth battle between the Broncos and Cowboys was arguably the best of the season. With Manning and Romo dueling with their right arms, the numbers on offense were otherworldly and the Cowboys hope it continues with a winning result.
Romo has been sensational at home in the past six games, passing for 2,039 yards and 19 TDs with only two interceptions for a 124.2 rating. He is the reason why the Cowboys lead the NFC with 152 points scored and will face a porous Washington pass defense, which has allowed 298.2 yards per game. Romo is 6-6 as a starter against Washington and has 21 TDs to 13 INTs in that time.
Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant caught six passes for 141 yards and two scores last week and was one of three wideouts to have more than 100 yards. Jason Witten (121 yards, TD) and Terrance Williams (151 yards, TD) were the others. All three combined for four TD receptions. Bryant is going up against a Washington secondary that played very well in Oakland, but he has six TD catches in his past four games and is going for a fifth in a row. Bryant has 403 yards and three scores in five games against the 'Skins, including a two- TD performance last November. Williams came out of nowhere last week and will probably not produce those kind of numbers any time soon.
Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray ran for 43 yards and a score in the loss to the Broncos and will go up against a weak Washington defense that has allowed 142.2 rushing yards per game. Murray has rushed for 149 yards on 42 carries in two games as a starter in this series.
Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett liked what he saw from his defense a few weeks ago against the Raiders. After falling behind 14-0 on a blocked punt for a score and a touchdown pass by Matt Flynn, the defense dug in and put forth arguably the best effort so far in 2013.
The Redskins posted seven sacks - the most since that many in Week 4 of 2011 - and three different players posted two. Nose tackle Barry Cofield, linebacker and sack leader Ryan Kerrigan (5.0) and linebacker Brian Orakpo each took down the quarterback twice for the Redskins, who have posted three sacks in three of the last four games. The 298 yards and 14 points allowed were season lows.
Washington held the Raiders to 194 passing yards and rookie cornerback David Amerson intercepted a pass and returned it 45 yards for a score. Amerson, DeAngelo Hall and safety Brandon Meriweather will have to make plays in the secondary to slow down deep threat Bryant. Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan was asked if he thinks the defense can continue to make impact plays.
"Yeah, I do. But I think you go back to each game, and I don't mean to really belabor a point, but when you take a look at the first game against Philly, they really kind of keep you off-balance when that running game is going. You know the yardage they had," Shanahan said. "And then you take a look as the games go on, and say, 'OK, what did Green Bay do that kind of got us on our heels a little bit?' They ran the football. So that's what I think has been the difference in the last couple of games on defense. Even though Detroit wasn't perfect, we made some strides, and this game, more strides. But even when we put a team in a one-dimensional game, they still can execute, so you've got to get after the quarterback, so hopefully we can keep on doing that."
Pressuring Romo will only make it easier for the secondary, which is why Washington's front line and linebackers Kerrigan and Orakpo have to stay fresh and attack the gaps. Romo was sacked four times last week and has been sacked seven times over the past two games (13 overall).
The Redskins will get Jarvis Jenkins and Rob Jackson back for this week and the two played critical roles when Orakpo and Adam Carriker were lost early on in 2012. Jenkins and Jackson were levied four-game suspensions for violating the league's substance policy.
"It's good to have them back. They were out there today in practice ... getting back in football shape," Shanahan said last week. "I know they've been working out hard, but it's good to get started after the bye week with both of them."
It's hard not to fall in love with how well Dallas played offensively last week, but the defense was atrocious.
They will win Sunday and keep pace in the NFC East with a cleaner effort on the defensive front and a more down-to-earth Romo. Washington had plenty of time to prepare for this matchup and will keep it close before eventually falling to its first 1-4 start since 2004.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Cowboys 24, Redskins 17

All fashion month long, we were treated to some eye candy even before a runway show started. Celebrities turned out to show their support and admiration at the hottest runway shows and we kept a tab on their fashion-focused travels—from New York to Paris. There were some front row regulars like Olivia Palermo, and even Kanye West, but some newbies hit the scene, too. Fashion favorite and Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o and The Wolf of Wall Street star Margot Robbie sat side-by-side yesterday at the Miu Miu show in Paris—one of the last shows of fashion month. And we'd say, it went out with a bang.

ValerieOhioIt's A Crappy Iron!I know youre thinking, wow theres only 1 bad review here. Dont be fooled in to buying it.Professional flat irons (the ones that cost around 100 bucks) last a LIFETIME. They keep your hair straight for as long as you keep it dry! If you straghtened your hair with an EXPENSIVE one and didnt wash it for a month, your hair would still be straight.Straighteners like these, well they only keep your hair straight for a few HOURS. Not only that, but they are BULKY, HEAVY, and EXTREMELY DAMAGING! They will damage your hair WAY more than any expensive iron.The good reviews are from people who are used to crappy irons. The bad reviews come from people who use PROFESSIONAL irons. Do yourself a favor AND SAVE YOUR MONEY to get a REAL straightener! There are MUCH BETTER STRAIGHTENERS OUT THERE!posted Nov 14, 2007Link to this post

JenFloridaHairChemically Treated HairGreat Product For The PriceI have very thick, coarse, naturally wavy hair. Ive used other regular flat irons but they did nothing when confronted with humidity. It has settings for wet, damp or dry hair, with temperature settings 1-30, the highest being almost 400 degrees! It heats up fast and retains temperature very well. This iron made my hair silky smooth and prevented frizz like a god (unless it was pouring rain). My hair is naturally very voluminous and this relieved me of some of that volume thankfully. No more blowouts and I even got a comment from my hair stylist that my hair was so much more healthier now and asked me how I did it. My only complaint is that the electrical cords swivel mechanism seemed to be loose and the iron would frequently shut off when the cord was moved around so I was constantly having to turn it back on, but a bit of tape to hold it in position and it worked fine. I could have returned it to the store for an exchange but I didnt have the reciept at that point and it was an easy enough fix so it was no big deal to me. Also you want to make sure to clean the plates every once in a while to keep it performing tip-top, but thats with any iron. Other than that, I would HIGHLY recommend this iron for someone wanting to give it a try and not have to dish out big bucks.posted Oct 30, 2007Link to this post

I'm sure if you logged the ticket fast enough you should get your gold back with some advice on being a bit more careful, I've had mounts unlearned, bind on equips "unlearned" etc. They only thing I never got back was when I accidently bought the 315% flying speed.
Good luck and happy spending :P
Just saw the post of the GM reply, as if there was any doubt. GM's are very helpful 99.9% of their time.

my advice would be...better get saving
They won't give you back your gold, most certainly.
I don't get the conversation in this thread. Someone can intentionally try to stir things up and get people upset by indirectly calling them a fucking moron, but then when someone reacts and calls them a prick or an asshole the person who responded gets an infraction? Wow is all I have to say....That's not even right.
OT: Hopefully Blizzard will refund your gold by understanding that misclicks happen, no ones perfect.
trion refunded me when I spent platinum needlessly on a mount speed I already had. It was resolved in like a day.
Blizzard sucks.
good move on blizz's part to remove gold from the stupid part of the population. you honestly bid over 200k without making sure you had the right item targeted? my oh my.

City planners in Atlanta, Georgia, are getting excited about starting a bike-sharing plan, pointing to a study that suggests it might just work there. The article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was revealing:
Despite metro Atlanta's car-centric reputation, bike advocates believe [that] reduced gas costs, connections from buses and trains to jobs centers and the opportunity to burn a few calories while seeing the city on two wheels would prove appealing if bike-sharing goes mainstream. [Emphases added.]
"Car-centric" may just be an understatement. Fodor's Travel Intelligence outlines the hazards facing travelers to Atlanta, which is laced with heavily traveled interstate highways populated with crazy drivers:
The city is encircled by Interstate 285. Three interstates also crisscross Atlanta: Interstate 85, running northeast-southwest from Virginia to Alabama; Interstate 75, [one of the ten most-congested interstate highways in the United States] running north-south from Michigan to Florida; and Interstate 20, running east-west from South Carolina to Texas.
Some refer to Atlanta as the "Los Angeles of the South," because driving is virtually the only way to get around. Atlantans have grown accustomed to frequent delays at rush hour — the morning and late-afternoon commuting periods seem to get longer every year. The South as a whole may be laid-back, but Atlanta drivers are not; they tend to drive faster and more aggressively than drivers in other Southern cities. Rarely do Atlantans slow down at a yellow light.
Nevertheless, city planners "believe" that saving gas will offset the hazards, while giving those who survive "the opportunity to burn a few calories" and should "prove appealing" to them, but only "if bike sharing goes mainstream."
Atlanta wants to keep up. Josh Mello, one of the bureaucrats excited about the plan, says: "Given where our peer cities are ... we could easily fall behind ... if we don't move quickly."

About Gallery Wrap:
Bring the premium style of the art gallery into your home with a gallery wrap canvas print. In a gallery wrap canvas, the artwork extends around the sides of the canvas, and the fabric canvas is attached to the back, not the sides, of the solid wood stretcher frame.

About the Collection
Known as The Painter of Light™, Thomas Kinkade became recognized as America's most collected living artist. Reflecting his modest background, Kinkade painted bucolic scenes with themes of simple pleasures and inspiring messages. With each brushstroke, Thom eloquently captured the beauty in the world with an instantly recognizable use of color and light.
As a devout Christian, Kinkade used his gift as a vehicle to communicate and spread inherent life-affirming values. Kinkade credited the Lord for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace, and joy into their lives through the images he created. The letters he received every day testify to the fact that he had achieved this goal.
As an Authorized Thomas Kinkade gallery, EVINE Live is proud to pay tribute with limited editions, framed art, canvas prints and other licensed products. Capture the beauty and tranquility of one the most widely collected artists in the world and display one of his masterpieces in your own home.

The Petersen Museum presents "The World's Greatest Sport Coupes"
Images courtesy Petersen Automotive Museum.
What is the greatest sports coupe of all time? Ask a range of enthusiasts that question, and you're quite likely to get a myriad of different answers. Los Angeles, California's, Petersen Automotive Museum did just that, asking celebrities with a passion for automobiles to name the sport coupe they'd most like to own, and the results will form a new exhibit, The World's Greatest Sports Coupes, opening next week.
To give the museum credit, it certainly chose a diverse mix of guest curators. Representing the world of rock-and-roll are Nick Mason, the drummer for Pink Floyd and an avid car collector and vintage racer; James Hetfield, Metallica's lead singer and owner of the Custom of the Year award-winning Black Pearl; and Brian Johnson, AC/DC's front man and an avid racer who's been known to use Thunder Guts, his 1928 Bentley 4-1/2-liter Le Mans Tourer, as a daily driver.
Actors and comedians participating include Adam Carolla, former host of The Car Show; Patrick Dempsey, the actor turned race car driver and team owner; and Tanner Foust, Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood, hosts of Top Gear USA. Others acting as guest curators include Ian Callum, Jaguar's design director; Francis Ford Coppola, director, producer, Tucker owner, and screen writer; Bobby Rahal, former IndyCar star and team owner; John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios; and Bruce Meyer, founding chairman of the Petersen Museum and car collector extraordinaire.
While the Petersen has yet to announce the actual vehicles going on display – so far only hinting that designs from the United States, Italy, Japan, Great Britain and Germany will be included in the final lineup – it teased the selections in the above video, and the list of celebrity car enthusiasts involved should make for some decent guesses. (Oh, and Jaguar is sponsoring the exhibit, so it stands to reason that at least one Jaguar made the cut.) Making sure that those omitted from the list are not left out entirely, the exhibit will also include photography by Scott Williamson, highlighting other historically significant sport coupes.
The World's Greatest Sport Coupes will run at the Petersen Automotive Museum from April 10 through September 30, 2014. For additional information, visit Petersen.org.
UPDATE (10 April, 2014): The cars chosen by the celebrity curators are shown below. All photos courtesy of the Petersen Museum.

Oakers too much for Patriots in non-league action
A quick trip out of league play wasn't any kinder than any league play has been for the Pilgrim football team. The Pats traveled to Coventry on Friday night and lost 40-6 in a non-league match-up against the Oakers. The Pats got their lone touchdown from sophomore Owen Kelly. Mike Nolan scored four touchdowns for the Oakers. Pilgrim returns to league play this week with a road game at defending D-II champion Cumberland.

Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi is observed two days before Diwali in North India, Maharashtra and
Gujarat. The day is dedicated to Dhanvantari, the physician of the gods. Lakshmi Puja in the evening is an important ritual on the day. There is no straightforward answer to what to do on Dhan Teras or how to observe Dhanteras, as the rituals and celebrations vary from region to region. Here is a general idea of what people do on Dhanteras.
Diwali Shopping is Completed
Dhanteras is observed differently by different communities. It is considered to be highly auspicious day to do new purchases and investment. Most people complete the Diwali shopping on the day. The first lamps of Diwali are lit on the day. People hang up paper lanterns with festoons and sends out the message of the arrival of Diwali.
Get-Together of All Family Members
Dhanteras is not all about material wealth it is also a time to develop spiritual wealth and family bonding. All family members arrive at ancestral home on the day. Grand Parents and Parents wait for the day as sons, daughters and grand children arrive from distant places.
Welcoming Goddess Lakshmi
Goddess Lakshmi is welcomed into the house on Dhanteras day in many regions in the evening. Rangoli is drawn on doorways and tiny footprints of Lakshmi are drawn in vermilion to symbolize her arrival. Devotional songs dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi are sung in the evening. Sweets are offered to the Goddess on the day.
Goddess Lakshmi Puja for Three Days
In some regions Goddess Lakshmi Puja is performed for three days – Dhanteras, Choti Diwali and Diwali. On the first day, Dhanteras day, all family members especially men and women bathe after applying fragrance, medicinal herbs or preparation and fragrant oils. Murti – painting or idol or picture – of Goddess Lakshmi is washed with water and worshipped for three days commencing from Dhanteras.
Buying Gold - Silver or Utensil
Dhanteras – Dhan means 'wealth' and theras indicates 'the thirteenth day'. In most places in North India, Gujarat and
Maharashtra, Dhanteras is an auspicious day to buy precious metals like gold, platinum and silver. Women shop for gold or silver or at least one or two new utensils on the day. Precious metal bought on the day is seen as a sign of good luck.
Earthern Diyas in the Evening
Earthern diyas are lit on Dhanteras day in the evening to banish the evil spirits.
Worship of Domestic Animals
Cows are worshipped on the day in many regions. They are given proper washing. Fresh food items are provide. It is believed that cows usher in prosperity.
A Rare Fasting in Some Regions For Ancestors
In some regions, people wake up early in the morning, take bathe, and wear new clothes. Fasting is observed from sunrise to sunset and is broken after lighting an earthen-lamp in front of the door of the house.
Floating of Lamps
Deepdaan is an important ritual observed on Dhanteras day in many regions. Lamps are lit in the name of all family members and ancestors and they are floated in a river or pond.
Dhanteras is also observed as Yamadeepdaan by many communities.
Dhanvantri Puja
Dhanvantri Puja
The day is also dedicated to Dhanavantri, the divine physician, and therefore special Dhanvantari Puja is held on the day by some communities.
Collecting Water for Holy
Bath or Abhyanga Snan on Narak Chaturdashi
On the Dhanteras day, the main water containers in homes are scrubbed and given a shiny and neat look. They are then decorated with marigold flowers or garland and vermilion paste is applied on it. Water stored in the container symbolically represents water from Holy Ganga. This water is used to take bath on the next day morning – on Narak Chaturdashi day. This early morning bathing is known as Abhyanga Snan.

Premium Quality I use satin pillow cases to protect my hair from tangling and keep it smooth. They really work! I have been doing this for a number of years so I've tried different ones and the Vermont Country Store satin cases rank high up there in quality and price! I bought 4 cases in different colors to coordinate with my bedding and all the colors were true to the pictures and most important, the quality is super fine. They have all been machine washed and dried many times and show no wear or tear and the zippers are all in great working condition. I have found nothing negative about them and would heartily recommend them to a friend. February 19, 2013
Very Smooth Love the pillowcase, very smooth. February 6, 2013
Satin Nights of Bliss Never saw this item available before but have heard of these pillow covers. Glad to find them while looking over your web site as they were worth the price since they not only are comfortable but they also rejuvinated my slighty saggy pillows giving them a shape face-lift!

Maj. Gen. Mark Graham understands the tragedy of suicide firsthand. His 21-year-old son killed himself in 2003 after struggling with depression. A top ROTC cadet at the University of Kentucky, Kevin Graham wanted to be an Army doctor. He quit taking his medication because he didn't want the Army to find out about his illness.
Eight months later, a roadside bomb in Iraq took the life of Graham's other son, Jeff. "Both of my sons died fighting different battles," says Graham, deputy chief of staff for U.S. Army Forces Command at Fort McPherson, Ga. "They were both heroes to us, both great young men."
Years went by before Graham spoke publicly about what happened. Today, he is part of the Army's intense push to reduce a historic spike in soldier suicides. He is encouraging people to talk frankly about the stigmas associated with mental health care and suicide.
"People think if you talk about suicide, you'll cause somebody to do it," Graham says.
"That is not the case. We've got to talk about it in order for people to know it's OK to come forward and get help. We have to educate people to know it's a sign of strength – not weakness – to get help."
These are messages the military urgently hopes the troops will heed. More than 600 soldiers and Marines killed themselves between 2003 and 2008 – the equivalent of a battalion task force. Another 177 active-duty and inactive-duty reserve soldiers reportedly had taken their own lives by the end of September – 61 were still under investigation at the time – putting the Army on track for a record number of suicides for the fifth consecutive year.
"We have got to do better," Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli said after the suicide data was released. "We are trying every remedy and seeking help from outside agencies that are experts in suicide prevention. There isn't a reasonable suicide-prevention tool out there the Army won't potentially employ."
Mobile behavioral health teams have become a part of each brigade at Fort Carson, one of the world's largest Army bases. That makes it routine business for a soldier to seek help. "You go see the S-1 for a personnel action, to the medical clinic to get your stuff done, or go by and see the behavioral-health guys," Graham says. "So it's OK. It's accepted by the soldiers and leaders."
The Army also has dramatically increased its suicide-prevention efforts. All 1.1 million soldiers were pulled from their normal duties over a six-week period last spring to learn ways to recognize suicidal behavior, and help fellow soldiers who are distressed or showing signs of suicide. This includes asking troubled soldiers if they are considering, or have considered, taking their own lives. "Normally, if they have, they will tell you," Graham says. "When they do, you don't just say, 'Hey, you need to go get help.' You take them to get help, right then."
Annual suicide-prevention training will be provided Army-wide, emphasizing the common causes of suicidal behavior and the critical role Army leaders, friends, co-workers and families play in helping soldiers. In addition, the Army created a suicide-prevention task force that made dozens of improvements to programs and recruited additional psychological- and behavioral-health counselors, says Army spokesman Wayne V. Hall.
A Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program is now used throughout the Army, the National Guard and Army Reserve that places the same emphasis on mental health as physical health and fitness. A similar program is planned for family members and civilians who work for the Army. Chaplains also are leading relationship-strengthening programs, called Strong Bonds, for soldiers and families. A separate effort, Battlemind, helps troops and families prepare for the stresses of war and identify potential mental-health issues. The Navy and Marine Corps have likewise stepped up suicide-prevention efforts.
Last November, the Army contracted with the National Institutes of Mental Health to conduct a five-year, $50 million study on soldier suicides that will help guide future prevention efforts.
The Army faces the challenge, understanding that it is daunting, long-term and unpredictable.
"Suicide is one of the most complex public- health problems," says Dr. Mark Kaplan, a professor of community health at Portland State University who served on the VA's Blue Ribbon Work Group on Suicide Prevention last year. "With all that we've learned, the suicide rate has not changed that much over time. The bottom line is, there's so much we don't understand."
That's true for all suicides, military or otherwise, in part because of a lack of data. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates there are 33,000 suicides in the United States each year. "We might be underestimating suicides in the general population by 25 to 50 percent," Kaplan says.
Because of the lack of comprehensive data, Kaplan and other researchers are wary of drawing conclusions about what's happening in the military.
"The evidence regarding combat-related experience seems to be mixed," he says.
"There's often a lag time between combat exposure and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even World War II veterans, 40 years later, might experience the toll of PTSD."
Soldier suicides over the past six years illustrate how difficult it is to find definitive answers. The Army acknowledges that repeated deployments may be contributing to the overall increase in numbers, but that's only part of the issue. Roughly 40 percent of soldiers and 35 percent of Marines who have taken their own lives since 2003 never deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. A recent Army study also concluded that the majority of U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan who killed themselves did so during their first deployment. Suicides aren't just occurring among soldiers serving in the global war on terror.
"We have other veterans trying to commit suicide – guys who served in Vietnam, Korea, World War II, the Gulf War and Panama," says Jim Deremo, The American Legion's department service officer in North Dakota. He helped start Courage Carries On, a suicide-prevention campaign that reaches out to veterans and servicemembers in his state. Deremo says he sees an increase in PTSD among veterans after they retire. "When you are busy working and raising a family, you don't have time to think about it."
Elements of the problem are often traced back to date back to the Civil War, when soldiers were first allowed to take their guns home.
"That's when we see the rise in the number of suicides by firearms," Kaplan says. He points to a June 1865 New York Times obituary detailing how the man who fired the first shot on Fort Sumter later turned his gun on himself.
"Ownership and possession of firearms is very high among people who successfully complete suicide," Kaplan says. "Suicide involving guns provides a very limited window to intervene."Pain vs. Death. Tammy Schroeder has reached for a gun many times. "The pain is so bad that death is the only alternative," she says. The Air Force veteran has fought suicidal urges since she was raped while on active duty in 1983. "When you are sticking a gun in your mouth, you think, 'This is utopia. The pain is going to be over.' Unless you've been where I've been, you can't understand it."
Schroeder plunged into depression and started self-medicating with alcohol and over-the-counter drugs. She lost her marriage, her 2-year old and her infant. "It's not what he did to me," she says of the perpetrator. "It's what he took from me."
Two decades later, Schroeder finally told her story to a fellow veteran at the South Dakota American Legion's Mid-Winter Conference. That woman, Terry Towns, was office manager for the Sioux Falls Vet Center and got Schroeder in touch with counselors. It saved her life.
"I got such outstanding care," says Schroeder, who is featured in the Courage Carries On campaign as someone who benefited from seeking help. Even today, she keeps the telephone numbers for suicide-prevention hotlines on her refrigerator.
Although it took Schroeder years to seek counseling, most male soldiers never reach out. "So many people who are returning after multiple deployments are men who don't want to talk about their problems," says Kaplan, the Portland State University suicide expert. The stigma of mental illness remains powerful. So the question for the military is, "How do you educate young soldiers to seek help?"
"I think the way we get rid of the stigma is that we continue to educate others and talk about it, " Graham says, "and let people know there is help, there is care for you out there. Going to behavioral health doesn't mean someone is crazy. It means something is wrong."
Psychological problems are not always the issue. Many military suicides involve younger soldiers with relationship or financial problems – and easy access to firearms.
"Men feel very uncomfortable when the ground shifts under them," Kaplan says.
"They succumb to a sense of shame, a loss of control. Suicide is a way of taking control over their life."
Financial and family issues, he says, could be dealt with by social workers instead of counselors, which would reduce the stigma associated with getting help.Lt. Col. Ross Waltemath, of the Indiana National Guard, agrees. "The majority of our folks who are in crisis have marital problems or financial problems, not psychological problems."Transition Assistance. Kaplan says a more seamless transition from the military to VA and civilian life can reduce the stress on soldiers who are demobilizing or leaving the service. Travis Rhoads knows this territory firsthand. He re-enlisted in 2007, following a three-year break from the Army, after finding it difficult to support his wife and four children as a truck driver for a soft-drink company. Four months into his combat tour in Iraq, he tried to kill himself.
Rhoads was shipped home and enrolled in a program designed to streamline the handoff of servicemembers from DoD to VA. Instead, it took a year for him to make his way through the system, get the medical exams, and receive a disability rating so he could be placed on long-term temporary medical leave from the Army. The delays, paperwork and uncertainty exacerbated his anxiety, making it hard to find a job.
"There I am, trying to juggle so much with finances and my medical board, keep my treatment going and keep my sanity," Rhoads says. "I don't know how many times I had to ask, 'Where's my paperwork?' I'm exhausted."
Adele Kubein watched her daughter go through a frustrating three-year transition from the military to VA after she came home from Iraq in 2004 with a broken leg, traumatic brain injury and a battered, suicidal mind. Her daughter had served in combat for 10 months as a .50-caliber gunner and field mechanic with the Oregon Army National Guard. "She was a total wreck. I went to the barracks and there she was at the end of the hall with a cane, bent over and crying," Kubein says.
She believes the counseling offered by the Returning Veterans Project saved her daughter's life. The Oregon-based group, staffed by counselors who provide free services to servicemembers and families, arranged for a therapist with combat experience in Vietnam to care for her daughter.
Such concerns resonate with the people who established Courage Carries On. Despite assurances from the military, many servicemembers still believe counseling will hurt their careers, Deremo says. Some veterans, especially from the Vietnam era, refuse to go to VA because of how they were treated when they first returned home.
That's tragic. "Don't wait 23 years to get help like I did," Schroeder says. "You hurt so many other people." For her, there's an equally pressing reason to make the call whenever she's feeling her worst. "If I kill myself," she says, remembering the man who assaulted her more than 20 years ago, "he's won." Ken Olsen is a freelance writer and frequent contributor to The American Legion Magazine.
Once again, the Army and VA are merely copying what others have been doing--without success--in the suicide "prevention" world: waiting until the soldier/veteran is standing at the cliff ready to jump before doing anything. There seems to be no recognition that something may have BROUGHT them to the cliff, and that they could address it through improved stress training and education in self care. You could liken this to skin cancer--what if, instead of educating people on the hazards of sun exposure, tanning salons, etc, we did nothing but wait until the skin cancer showed up? That's no different than this charade of wearing blinders until people are at the brink. I suggest some true prevention is in order, when the Army and VA are ready.
So first the VA would have to stop listening to lying feminists who will deny that this is even happening because they frankly hate men and don't care if soldiers commit suicide -- unless they're women. But I am not going to hold my breath that the US govt will do anything to help male soldiers because the US govt very obviously doesn't give a damn. It's all a show to make the public THINK that they care. Just to make themselves look good. But they don't look good when they blatantly ignore what is really going on. The US govt is standing with their pants around their ankles and everybody knows it. What point is there to risk one's life for a government who openly expresses contempt for its own soldiers and doesn't really care how many soldiers commit suicide -- unless they're women.
I served 6 years in the Air Force. You couldn't PAY me enough money to serve in the military for a country that treats men like criminals whether they are highly decorated war heroes, cops, firemen, or the best dads in the whole world. What women want -- they get. And if they don't get it they scream and rant and rave until they do get it. And our politicians are too weak to prevent what is happening. They WON'T stand up and say, "Enough!" because they are cowards. I was told that even cops won't stand up for brother cops because "they are afraid they will lose their jobs". I don't think this country was founded by people who were "afraid to lose their jobs" But then feminism is a cult of lies and denial. It doesn't surprise me that the VA won't publish what is REALLY happening to the soldiers and what women are getting away with. No doubt the men at the VA are also 'afraid of losing their jobs' lol The VA also won't cover male soldiers who are victims of dv for the same lame reason.
If the military truly cared about helping soldiers (particularly men) who are committing suicide at an alarming rate they would first have to look at the real reasons why it is happening. But, since the VA (like so many other orgs) is increasingly feminized (controlled by women especially feminists) this is not likely to happen. One of the primary reasons that military men and ex-military men are committing ritual suicide (in their best dress uniforms with their medals laid out and with their service revolvers) is due to the inexcusable way they are being treated in the jokingly named 'family courts' of this country. A man's service to his country is even being used against him. Women are ordering cops to issue restraint orders to soldiers at the airport when they return. Many soldiers are eventually pushed on to the streets. Unable to pay alimony, child support, etc many are being thrown in jail. Some face prison. But the US govt doesn't care for us why care for it?

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoeBet Lightweight Option This pouch is very light, so do not notice it hanging around your neck. The pocket has a zipper which could be a little wider to make inserting and removing your passport a little easier. The passport fits, but if it is a little crooked, will not fit through the zipper opening. Just 1/2 inch wider would be great. November 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buyer2306 good product These should hold our valuables well. They appear to be very well made. July 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by DOK46 Excellent for Travel I travel throughout the world and wished I had this on previous trips! My passport, while in a clear protective case, fits just fine. Plenty of room for cash and credit cards as well! The snap for keeping the zipper closed was an unexpected touch and adds security. Highly recommended! April 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by fungrandma easy & safe around the neck bag for travel the pacsafe bag holds my passport, IPhone, euros & a credit card ; the reason for the purchase. The over the neck strap is long enough easily allowing me to reach under clothes and at waist level retrieving what I need safely & discretely. February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Drash Useful travel item I bought this instead of buying a new RFID Slash proof security purse. My old purse still works fine. I simply used this RFID Travel pouch for my passport and charge cards for a recent trip abroad. The pouch fit nicely into my purse and could easily be pulled out and used around my neck while needing easy access to my passport in airports. It is well made and worth the price. June 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Turnebe hghly recommended This is to replace a neck pouch I bought years ago, before the problems with RFID stealing. I hope it will be as useful as the previous one. December 12, 2014

Sharing Memories (Week 38): Leaving Home & Some Bad Memories
If you are just joining us, please take a peek at almost 150 prompts by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of Olive Tree Genealogy blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your memories down on paper. The prompts are here as a guide to help if you are stuck for ideas.
What do you remember about heading off to College or University? Did you have to leave home? I did. I wanted to go to Art College in Toronto Ontario but my mother said being an artist wasn't a career and she would not give me money towards that. So I applied for two Universities - one in Toronto, the other in British Columbia.
To be honest I wanted to go to British Columbia to get as far away as I could from my mother. There, I said it. We'd never gotten along and it got worse after my dad died when I was 14.
Anyway, the letter of acceptance arrived from University of Toronto, but nothing from UBC. So off I trudged to the big city. U of T didn't accept me into residence so I had to find a room somewhere to live in. It was pretty bad. There were cockroaches and I shared a disgustingly filthy bathroom with 16 people. The door to my room didn't lock so every night I shoved a dresser against it. Did I mention I was 17 and never been away from home? Even the Bell telephone installer was horrified at my living conditions, especially since I was a young, very naive girl.
But my trials and tribulations over living in a big city entirely on my own are another story. I don't recall one single visit or phone call from my mother or my older brothers and sisters so I felt very alone and yes - scared!
While I was in Toronto struggling to get to classes and not get too freaked by my horrendous living conditions or the scariness of the scummy part of Toronto I was forced to live in, something happened that my mother didn't mention to me for several years. Yes I said years.
It seems that no sooner had I left for Toronto then UBC sent a letter accepting me into both the University and residence. But my mother tore it up and didn't tell me. Years later when I asked her why (hey, maybe she would miss me or something?) she shrugged her shoulders and said "Oh I couldn't face the thought of having to take a day off work to move you again!"
This has been an interesting memory for me. I truly meant to talk about University of Toronto, meeting new friends, going to classes and so on. But by just letting my thoughts take me where they wanted, I got a lot of resentment towards my mother out on paper. And I feel better!
It wasn't all bad for me. I met great friends and had a wonderful time at U of T. I didn't graduate as I was way too busy partying but it was an incredible experience. And as horrible as much of it was, I think it made me a strong person and able to cope with the challenges life has thrown at me along the way.
What were your leaving home experiences like?

Respect. That's what I feel for you in your journey and your courage in writing this post. You were brave and persistent enough to go through horrendous living conditions and function as a college student, even without the support of a loving mother. Good for you! I can totally relate to your situation (that's another story). One of the rarely spoken-about facets of real life is that not all mothers are loving, not all are good mothers. Perhaps someone in your life--maybe your father, a friend, another relative--provided you with a good-enough relationship to enable you to be autonomous. I say again, brava for you! And thank you for this post, on behalf of all of us with similar struggles in our lives.

Mariann - thank you for your comments and support! I love how you worded it "One of the rarely spoken-about facets of real life is that not all mothers are loving, not all are good mothers"
I've always felt tremendous guilt about my feelings of resentment and anger towards my mother. I hear others speak of their loving relationships with their moms and I feel sad that I never had that BUT at the same time I never feel comfortable sharing my own difficult relationship with my mom.
Honestly this blog post was very liberating for me! To post it and not feel guilty or feel like I was a bad daughter to dare say something negative about a (gasp) mother -- wow that was a first.
I don't feel sorry for myself. I do miss not having had a loving kind mother but as my brother always says "It is what it is!" All you can do is try to accept the nature of the individual, try not to judge them, and go on from there.
My father was my support, my idol. He and I were very close but sadly he died a month after I turned 14. That left me alone with my mother. (but that's another story for another day perhaps or for my private journal)
I was lucky to have an older brother who looked after me as best he could and who was a good support for me much of the time.
I am sorry to think that you too went through some rough times. Thank you for your kind words and for helping me realize I'm not alone

I felt a tug at my heart when I read your story, Lorine. Although I didn't experience what you did with your mother when I left home for university, I wasn't sure if I could put into words my experience or if I could get past my shyness to share it. I was surprised to find that the words came easily to me (even though I couldn't remember everything as clearly as I had hoped) and that I didn't feel quite as shy or nervous about telling my story as I anticipated. My story is at http://yvonnesgenealogyblog.blogspot.ca/
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
Yvonne, I read your blog post - what a horrendous experience you had. So glad you made it home and got the care you needed. I left a comment on your blog. Thanks so much for letting me know about your post, I enjoyed reading it
