Video: Cam McCaul Goes Rogue on The Weather Channel
11.04.2014 //
In a Skype interview yesterday with Sam Champion on The Weather Channel's AMHQ, Cam McCaul appeared–much to the surprise of the show's host–dressed as a weather reporter. Through the entire interview McCaul never breaks character, explaining the only way they could make a mountain bike movie about riding on the snow was to do it from "the unreal world" where it was snowing dirt flurries. McCaul is Saturday Night Live worthy. Enjoy.
Video: Rising Above with Casey Brown
11.03.2014 //
Pro downhill racer Casey Brown grew up in a remote zone in New Zealand with her father who was hiding out from the DEA. Her life eventually brought her to Revelstoke, B.C. where she chased her father and brother around on bikes until eventually they chased her. Her brother – also a pro freerider who she revered as her personal hero – lost his life in a drug-related incident. As showcased in this episode of Dirt Magazine's "Beyond the Bike" video, 23-year-old Casey has chosen to channel all of her life's intensity into an unbridled focus on her dream to be one of the best female mountain bikers in the world.

10.21.2014 //
This hypnotic POV video – for the fact that this looks like one of the funnest jump-trail tracks in the world – is making its rounds around Facebook this week. It took a little digging, but we found the original YouTube post and some info on the location. It's located in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, a 35-minute train ride from the capital city Bern.

Riding Bend's Ale Trail
10.12.2014 //
Little known fact: Bend has more breweries per-capita than any other city in Oregon. For this it has been dubbed "Beer Town USA." With this title comes a duty to motivate its visitors to drink beer. Enter The Ale Trail. A ride (you can also be shuttled around in a van) that takes you between 14 different local breweries clustered close together, "like the gold at the end of a big, beer rainbow," reads the Visit Bend Website.
Bike Shops of Bend
10.12.2014 //
Bike shops. They act as metronomes to mountain biking communities. Even in the age of order-whatever-you-need-online, shops maintain an invaluable role. And even in small communities such as Bend, Oregon, there are numerous choices to fill your repair, retail, and social needs.

Video: Marcelo Gutierrez's POV from one of the Hardest MTB World Cup Runs Ever
05.16.2014 //
A few weeks ago, pro downhillers tackled what many riders called – based on the soaking wet, slippery-as-snot muddy course – one of the most challenging DH runs in recent history. While the footage shot from other people's cameras show the conditions from a spectators perspective, this POV cam angle by Marcelo Gutierrez show us what it was like to actually ride this vicious course at race speeds.
Video: Curtis Keene Sets Sights On Podium For 2014 Enduro World Series
05.02.2014 //
The relatively young sport of enduro racing has attracted mountain biking's best athletes and become highly competitive – quickly. American athlete Curtis Keene was ranked 12th in last year's Enduro World Series. For him, that's not good enough. This video – from Red Bull TV – beautifully and thoroughly illustrates what it takes to hang, compete, and win in this grueling sport that athletes say is no safer than world cup downhill racing.
Video: UCI World Cup DH Highlights From Cairns

"The rock garden is way gnarlier than anything else on the track. From what I've been told, it's really hard to get through it. I knew that looking at it. There's just so many different ridges and the rocks are so greasy and then red dirt is getting pulled onto them. It'll be tough, but looking forward to it. Everybody's running the same track so… It'll be good times." –Bryn Atkinson
Video: Mountain Bikers Ride Chamonix, France's Snow-Covered Valle Blanche
04.24.2014 //
In March, a group of Euros decided to mount studded tires on their mountain bikes and slog down the crevasse-riddled Valle Blanche, one of Europe's most popular winter ski and snowboard runs. Call it part so-typically-Euro, part badass, part funny. Or just call it done. Either way you have to commend this crew for getting out there and trying something different. Check it out here.

|The Taber Wall in the morning.
I am not manly. I have owned two pairs of rec-specs. I have never carved a dead animal and eaten it. When I talk to girls, I have to look at the floor or put a cardboard box on my head in order to form a sentence. I lived in Boulder, CO for two whole weeks once. I own an iPod nano. I feel a warm place in my heart whenever I bail off of a scary climb. I was on the Junior Varsity cross country team. I would not buy a pair of yoga pants, but I would probably keep them were I gifted a pair.
|Kevin and Doug prep the wagons.
Out west, they've got this thing called the Alpine Mentors. Steve House invented it as far as I can tell and it's a program in which young climbers cut their teeth with badass alpinists. I live in New England, though. All we've got over here is Man Camp. This year, Man Camp took place on Katahdin.
Doug Millen, Bayard Russell, and Kevin Mahoney (men who need no introduction in our little wintry world) are, all told, pretty manly. And so was our objective: a week of climbing on Katahdin: the Big K. I've never been to Katahdin before, and I always wrote it off as an objective due to its long drive, approach, and rules. Men apparently don't worry as much about that type of crap though.
|Roaring Brook.
We started ferrying loads up to Chimney Pond, and a day later we four stood underneath the Taber wall (Taberwand): the most fearsome wall within 20 miles of Millenocket. We were very excited. Kevin and Doug started up an alluring smear up the middle. Bayard headed towards a crack system out left. I belayed him. I've known Bayard for some time now and we've become regular climbing partners, but we'd never climbed a proper winter route together. If the guy treated alpine climbing any differently than safe, sunny sport climbing, he didn't show it, though: after committing to a steinpull above a sloping ledge he was airborne, hurtling onto a number one camalot. The man had been working like a dog all summer and fall on an addition to the house he shares with his wonderful wife, Anne. I doubt he got more than one climbing day. He charged upwards like a banshee releasted from hell. After a few moves, he fell again. When it was clear he was all right, I started giggling uncontrollably. We were enjoying ourselves.
|Crossing the pond. Getting excited.
|Russell Jr. forging new "Scottish" terrain.
|Following Bayard. I did not do well.
|Kevin (leading) and Doug on the alluring smear. (Photo by Bayard)
|Kevin about to top out on the Cilley-Barber.
The next day Kevin and I soloed the Cilley-Barber. We did this quickly, though not as quickly as if Kevin had been alone. He broke trail the whole way. I felt guilty until I remembered that Kevin and Ben Gilmore broke trail for Steve House, Mark Twight, and Scott Backes on Denali once. In 2 hours we reached the summit, and before lunch we were back at the ranger station. Ranger Rob was not as mad as he might have been, so it worked out well. It was cold, blowing, and alpine. I felt like I was in Alaska, except we were napping in the cabin by noon. On the way down, we saw Bayard and Doug cruising ice on the Pamola Ice cliffs. It was pretty neat to have the mountain entirely to ourselves. It was cold.
|You can see Bayard and Doug on the leftmost smear, if you look closely enough. NECLIMBS would probably judge the ice "OUT."
|A better shot of Doug on Pamola by Bayard. Despite the climb being "OUT" of condition they seemed to manage okay.
It was time for a return to the Taberwand.
|Bayard and the wall. Not as rime-y.
|Kevin and Bayard getting ready.
"I wanna vomit!" I told Bayard.
"That's why I'm hiding in the cave!"
Kevin scratched around and told me his "whipper contingency plan." I looked at the spectre and rattly pin between the M.O.G. and our belay. I still wanted to vomit. Bayard snapped a photo of me and giggled.
|Kevin, happy to be in the mountains.
|Mahoney again.
|Kevin leading the first pitch to gain the ice. Photo by Bayard.
|Bayard following.
|Russell on the slab. This was harder than it looks! The fog coming in destroyed the ice in a matter of minutes.
Doug had soup and whiskey waiting for me when I got back, as well as a knowing smile. Later the four of us lashed all our kit on our packs and stumbled down to Roaring Brook. The next day we limped home, trailing sleds in cold rain on gravel roads. Kevin, ever going for broke, rode a bike sans brakes on slush for miles to retrieve our parked van. It had been one hell of a trip.
Man Camp was over. My crampons and new picks were shot. It was time to drink some beer.

As part of the strategic plan to end homelessness in Pierce County and design a "best practice" model to prevent homelessness, Associated Ministries had contracted with Pierce County to provide a centralized intake center for homeless individuals and families and those in imminent risk of becoming homeless.
As part of AP4H coordinated entry, a Housing Specialist will work one-on-one with individuals to enable stability. Services will include, but are not limited to, referrals to housing programs or independent housing and assistance/referrals in securing benefits. For rental assistance please call 211.
Access Point 4 Housing offers a central point of entry for households experiencing homelessness of those that will be homeless within 72 hours.
Office Hours for AP4H
Mon.-Fri. 9am-5pm (some evening appointments available), closed for lunch 12-1pm.

- Does Access Point 4 Housing include ALL shelters and housing in Pierce County?
AP4H includes shelters and housing programs that are funded by Pierce County. We are having conversations with programs that do not receive this funding with the goal of developing partnerships that will benefit families experiencing homelessness.Types of programs included in AP4H are:
-Emergency Shelters
-Transitional Housing Programs
-Diversion & Navigation Programs
-Permanent Supportive Housing Programs
-Rapid Re-housing
- Will Access Point 4 Housing get my family into housing faster/same day?
It is important that we are clear so your family has realistic expectations. AP4H is not creating additional housing resources and this process will not get your family into shelter or housing more quickly. This new process will make it easier for your family to navigate the housing system in Pierce County; instead of calling 80+ programs individually, you will now have a single access point to current shelter and housing resources.
- What is the Placement Roster?
The placement roster is the tool used to track those who have been assessed for services and are waiting to be referred to a shelter or housing resource. This tool tracks families by the date they were assessed. As programs have openings, the family with the earliest entrance date is the first family screened for program eligibility.
- Are Section 8 vouchers included?
No. Section 8 wait lists remain the same as they have been.
- Can AP4H help pay my rent or utilities?
No. We do not provide rental or utility assistance.

Most noise-canceling on-ear or
over-the-ear headphones are big and bulky, taking up a lot of space in the
average carry-on. Not so with these first-ever noise-canceling buds of the
in-ear variety. Not only are they small, but they can be adjusted to one of
three different settings depending on the kind of background noise you want to
block out—in-flight airplane AC, train sounds, and more. ($319;sennheiser.com)

Hope you all enjoyed your Easter! Didn't get up to much myself, Ray and I both worked Good Friday, and he has been on call so we spent most of our time catching up on some movies we had yet to see, as well as a couple of old favourties (Wreck It Ralph - loved it, Brave - also good, Atlantis - enjoyed it, Princess and The Frog - OK, not the best Disney has had to offer, Hercules - my all time fave, Mulan - better than Princess and The Frog).
I also got around to doing the base coat on some more of our doors... slowly getting there. I hate getting a coat done and then thinking oh no I have to do another two of these... Even just having a the base coat on has made a huge improvement so I'm glad I'm finally getting this job done.
Last weekend we headed off to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, Ray and I had never been before so were not sure what to expect. I thought it was just OK, to be honest I don't think I'll be going again. We did get a few ideas for our place, but it will probably be a while (think years) before we really get stuck into re-doing our yard. I'd like to get our laundry and the two bathrooms/toilets fixed up first.
Here's some pics I took on the day (just with my phone, was too lazy to lug around the proper camera):
This was my favourite display, would love something like this at our place:
Not the hugest fan of this garden, but thought the phallic shaped cactus was funny... yep immature, I don't care!
Yummy! I love these!
Imagine wearing this! How amazing would that be?!
From my instagram. David Austin roses. Every bridezilla's dream.
From Ray's Instagram:
You can follow him here! (His instagram content is 95% our dog hehe).
Afterwards, we met up with some of my cousins for dinner at Pappa Rich in Glen Waverley. It was my first time there and I loved the food! Ever since we went to Malaysia I have been in love with the cuisine. I ordered the Curry Laksa, which tasted to me like what would be called a Curry Mee in Malaysia. I had the vegetarian option which had big chunks of eggplant, now normally I am not a fan but I actually really enjoyed the eggplant in this dish. I can't wait to go back! Husband had a Char Kway Teow, the flavours were good but the serving size seemed kind of small compared to the other dishes...
Another one from Ray's Instagram:
And stole this one from my cousin Jennifer's Instagram:
We did have to line up outside for a table, but we did go there knowing that as we had tried to call and make a booking for our group of 7 and were told there would be approx 30 mins wait. I think we ended up waiting around 15-20 minutes, it didn't seem too long anyway. The ordering system we had done before in Malaysia, you just write on the piece of paper what dishes you want, when you are ready you press the buzzer and a waiter comes over to take the paper and put your orders through. The food was served promptly. I would recommend giving this place a try, they also have branches in Doncaster, Chadstone, QV and Nunawading too.
As you may be able to tell, I love Instagram. Do you have instagram? Care to share your account? I love having new pics to look at!

Lee Pace and Richard Armitage
Based on this gifset : http://thranduil-father-of-legolas.tumblr.com/post/50329299416/richard-armitage-lee-pace-perving
Lee didn't know this was going to happen. He thought it was just going to be another boring sunday. He wouldn't predict that a man from the FBI would come running into his home, injured, trying to hide from a master assassin. The man was a very gorgeous man. His black hair was silky and Lee just wanted to run his hands through it.
"Yes mum, mhm, yup, ok, yup, im fine, mum please stop i have work to do, ok, love you too, bye" Gosh that woman knows how to talk.
It was a cold winter's morning. The grass had ice on the tips. It was a sunday, his last chance to relax until he's back at the office. He lives in a small apartment, big enough for one person not for two, it had one regular sized bathroom, one smallish bedroom, a reasonable sized kitchen and a big living room. He had a dog but he died last year of old age. He had a girlfriend but she left to go back to New Zealand. He lives in New York. His family lives in Texas. So right now he is pretty alone.
It was the usual morning routine, have a shower, get dressed, have breakfast and do a bit of work. Right now he was propped up on the black leather sofa watching some TV. He heard a loud thump come from the room below and then a scream saying "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE". He started to get a bit curious on what that was about, then again that man is always screaming at something.
He heard running in the hallway, but was not bothered enough to go check what was going on. His door slammed open, he jumped up from where he was sitting and just stared at the doorway. Someone came running into his home and slammed the door shut. The man was leaning against the door, all puffed out and sweaty. The man was injured. He had blood running down his arm but it didnt look to serious.
"ummm, excuse me" he asked the strange man.
"Oh, sorry, ummm this must be pretty rude to ask of but could i use your wash room just to wash away the blood?" He had a strong british accent.
"ummm, yea sure. it just that way." he said pointing in the correct direction. The man looked up. his eyes were really blue like the sea. The man looked in the direction he was pointing in.
"m'Richard by the way" he said. putting his hand forward for him to shake.
"Lee" he said. shaking his hand.
Richard left to the bathroom, limping. A british man named Richard. He can deal with that. Richard was a very beautiful man. His hair looked silky, he could only imagine what it would be like to run his fingers through it while making out with him. WAIT! What was he doing! He just met this man and he already want to kiss the living shit out of him.
It was 5 minutes later when Richard came out of the bathroom. His arm was all patched up and clean. What happened anyway?
"If you dont mind me asking, What happened?" Lee asked hopefully not annoying the guy.
"If you must know. I was on a mission, hunting down a criminal who killed exactly 80 people in 2 days, then instead of being the hunter i became the huntie! a master assassin was after me. He found me and shot me in the arm with a arrow. Then i was running and running and ended up here." wow.
"80 people? in 2 days?" Lee choked out.
"Yup, he only did it because it was fun." Richard said with a hint of smirk for my surprise.
"And an assassin was after you at the same time?" Lee was having trouble processing all of this but tried to act like he was fine.

A few days ago, South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung started to deliver the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for its Galaxy S III devices, complemented by a nice range of specific enhancements for the flagship handset.
Today, the company decided to provide users with a better look at the improvements that will be included inside the update, and posted a video that details them, embedded below.
Furthermore, the company took its time to provide specific info on these changes, all of which are meant to provide users with a better experience on their devices.
One of the changes that the new software update brings along includes better contextual awareness, which means, among other, that the phone will be able to predict what users want to do, based on their actions.
The specific contextual awareness enhancements in the Galaxy S III premium suite are:
- Page Buddy: Your phone will smartly predict what you intend to do according to your actions. For example, when you plug in your earphones, the device automatically opens up a page with the music player.
- Contextual Menu: When you list up apps, you can now choose to see the most frequently used ones first. Especially convenient when you're looking through apps to find files to attach.
- Contextual Tag: When you take a picture on the phone, you can tag the weather, date, and place immediately.
At the same time, the update brings the multi-window feature from Galaxy Note II to the users of Galaxy S III, so that users could open more than one app at the same time on the screen.
There's also a Reader Mode that Galaxy S III users are now enjoying on their devices, so that they can easily control the size of the text on the browser. They can also share the webpage through simply clicking on it.
Another feature included in the update is Facebook Lock Ticker, so that users could easily see their Facebook News Feeds straight to the lock screen.
The update also comes with Auto Share Shot Pairing using NFC, Samsung explains: "By setting the camera to 'Auto Share Shot' mode, you can quickly share your photos and videos by simply tapping their GALAXY S III with other NFC and S-Beam enabled devices."

Creative writing for young people. The Educator's PLN - The personal learning network for educators. Free web apps & blog and website widgets. Haz tu Sitio Web Flash Gratuito con Wix. New Tool Makes PD Planning Simple. Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) December 19, 2011 PD developer School Improvement Network has added yet another tool to its premiere professional development platform, PD 360.
The new addition, called My Portfolio, is a groundbreaking function within the PD 360 platform that gives educators the opportunity to create, share, and implement personalized professional learning plans. With My Portfolio, teachers and administrators alike have the ability to create professional learning plans and share them with anyone in their network across departments, schools, and the entire district. My Portfolio's reporting function makes follow-up and accountability simple and easy, giving educators the power to turn goals into accomplishments.
With My Portfolio, teachers and instructional leaders can: Create their own professional learning plans Showcase the professional learning elements that have been completed Easily generate reports of plans and what has been completed. Fakebook: homepage. Create educational games and quizzes at classtools.net. "Fakebook" allows teachers and students to create imaginary profile pages for study purposes.
Use "Fakebook" to chart the plot of a book, the development of a character, a series of historical events, the debates and relationships between people, and so on! Get started by entering a name at the top of the page. Then proceed to add friends, posts, comments and profile information. You can save your work and edit it again later. 2011. Vidque. Free Photos - Free Images - Royalty Free Photos - Free Stock Photos. Engaging Thinking. Mind Mapping with Mindomo Mind Mapping is a fantastic tool that helps students (and teachers) to visualise thinking in an organised way.
Personally, mind maps have helped me to learn a vast amount amount of information without needing to read through pages of endless notes. Tony Buzan's Mind Map strategy has helped educators around the world to break down the concept into simple rules to help students understand how they can organise their ideas in an effective way. Mind maps that are drawn by hand allow you the flexibilty to control various aspects of the map and until now, I have struggled to find a software program that allows you to manage various features in the same way.

The new school year is here for many teachers.
For those who haven't started school yet, the new school year will be here soon. If you've set the goal of trying something new in your classroom this year (shouldn't that always be one of our goals), here are eleven techy things teachers should try this year. 1. Build a Blog or Build a Better Blog Blogs can serve many purposes for teachers.
Three good platforms for classroom blogging are Blogger, Edublogs, and Kid Blog. 2. Building pages on a wiki is a great way for students to record and share knowledge about topics they've researched. Teachers and students can also use wikis to create digital portfolios. Wikispaces, PB Works, and Wet Paint provide free wiki hosting. 3. So a blog doesn't provide quite what you're looking for and a wiki doesn't either? Building a website used to be a difficult, technical process. 4. Video is a powerful form of communication. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 2 Extensions That Improve The Speed & Functionality Of Google Docs [Chrome] Google Docs is without a doubt one of the easiest ways to collaborate with multiple people on a single document.
Instead of having to share a file in the cloud or keep emailing each other with changes, you can simply work on one document and have the luxury of having it save automatically and be visible to all the other people working on the document. Google Docs offers a slew of features that make it easy to collaborate with others.

That's not a formula for a quick-strike offense. And it works. The Badgers led the Big Ten Conference in scoring offense last year, averaging 31.8 points per game. They are third this year," writes Tom Mulhern. • Madison.com: So far this season, Badgers have been short on long playsIn this notes column, Jeff Potrykus looks at how dangerous Terrelle Pryor can be with his legs, Barry Alvarez speaking to the team last night, Jay Valai's eagnerness to return to the field and Chris Borland's surgery. • JSOnline.com: Pryor's legs always a concern for UW"Tyler Dippel is ready to contribute to the University of Wisconsin football team.

"J.J. Watt had no guarantees that his college football career would continue past his freshman year at Central Michigan. He just believed. Not many others did, and the fact that the Badgers' best pass rusher was delivering pizzas and mopping floors as a lightly regarded prospect who had already walked away from one college program is where Watt's career could've ended," writes Colin Fly. • AP.org: Wisconsin DE Watt goes from pizza boy to punisher • Madison.com: Five good minutes with Watt"Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Doeren has seen Aaron Henry embrace his move from cornerback to free safety and gradually develop into a solid contributor through six games this season.Now Doeren needs more.

A couple of weeks ago, Matt Lepay mentioned that this Badger team is good, but not elite. He also mentioned that we can all check back in a few weeks to learn whether Wisconsin can be such a squad. That time is approaching, he writes. • UWBadgers.com: Opportunity lays before Badgers in No. 1 Ohio StateNobody had to point out the elephant in the room a year ago after Scott Tolzien's two interceptions were returned for touchdowns in UW's 31-13 loss at Ohio State, writes Tom Mulhern.

Cardinal Dolan, Stephen Colbert to match wits in forum on comedy
Catholic World News - July 25, 2012
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York will team up with television comedian Stephen Colbert at a forum on faith and humor, to be held at Fordham University in September.
The forum will be chaired by Father James Martin, a popular Jesuit columnist and author of Between Heaven and Mirth. The gift of humor, Father Martin says, is "just what the Catholic Church needs."

Secular folly. Dolans's choice of being onstage with these two guys is scandalous. Once again it appears that the Cardinal is getting advice and direction of idiots. Darn right Lauriem, better he goes to an abortion mill. How many invites has he gotten to the 40 days for Life vigil which he does not even acknowledge.

Is this what is needed at this time? Fr.Martin has been rather public about his non-acceptance of the Church's teachings on homosexuality. Not good.

Mental health services in Anderson area suffering from budget cuts
Gail Yeatman fears that possible future cuts to the South Carolina Mental Health Department budget could result in her grandchildren not being able to receive the treatment they need from a mental health medical center in Pickens County.
Yeatman, 57, of Easley said she is impressed with the services at the center, and she was disappointed to hear about the cuts to the state mental health department budget that began in July 2008. Two mental health care facilities in Upstate South Carolina have taken significant hits as part of those cuts.
"It makes my heart cry," Yeatman said. "I know how hard it is to get services that are needed with the funding they have now."
The department's annual budget has been reduced from $220 million to $182 million since July, and lawmakers are considering more cuts in the future, said Mark Binkley, an attorney for the mental health department. The cuts have created a situation in which employees who leave the department cannot be replaced, and at least 82 positions are vacant now, he said.
The state mental health department will serve 9,100 fewer residents in fiscal year 2009 than the previous year, Binkley said, and the department will serve 15,000 fewer residents with inpatient facilities.
"It is discouraging at times," he said. "As I often say, a few years ago if somebody called with a problem of access to services, I could make a couple of phone calls and address the problem. Now I just have to apologize."
Adult admissions into the mental health department's psychiatric hospitals numbered 1,956 in fiscal year 2008, down from 2,373 the year before, according to department officials. The client satisfaction rate for residents receiving services from the department was 87 percent in fiscal year 2008, according to officials.
Harris Psychiatric Hospital loses millions from budget
The Patrick B. Harris Psychiatric Hospital in Anderson has needed to lower its capacity to 121 patients since July 2008, down from 154, in response to the cuts to the state mental health department budget, said John Fletcher, director of the facility.
The Anderson hospital has suffered a nearly $2.9 million-budget cut since July, which adds up to a 14 percent budget reduction, he said. The $1.7 million in the budget dedicated to medication annually cannot be cut, Fletcher said.
Fletcher also said staff members have not been replaced after they leave, and many positions are vacant. The hospital has been providing services to the Anderson-area community for the past 20 years.
Cost-cutting measures for Patrick B. Harris also include limiting the use of paper clips, lighting and pens and cutting back on travel and cell phone usage, Fletcher said.
AnMed Health Medical Center in Anderson refers patients to Patrick B. Harris after evaluating whether the patients can go home. The reduction in capacity at Patrick B. Harris will result in more patients needing to stay longer in the hospital, which will limit the number of people that can be admitted to the hospital's emergency room.
"It starts to back up in the emergency room," Fletcher said.
He also said many employees are worried about whether they will be able to keep their jobs. The majority of the budget is dedicated to the salaries of personnel, Fletcher said.
Patrick B. Harris uses a combination of prescription drugs and therapeutic methods to rehabilitate patients. The facility has a game room, chapel, and a music room.
The hospital has a program to use painting as a form of therapy, and some patients' artwork is on display in the café. A piano, drum set, blackboard and collection of old records are available inside the music room.
There is now a waiting list for people who would like to be admitted to the hospital, Fletcher said. Patients can stay at the hospital for as little as 14 days or as long as several years.
Anderson-Oconee-Pickens Mental Health Center sustains budget slash
Kevin Hoyle, the executive director of the Anderson-Oconee-Pickens Mental Health Center, said state funding for his center has been reduced by 20 percent since July.
The center needed to eliminate a crisis unit in September, Hoyle said, that provided shelter to residents in need of care with conditions not severe enough to warrant a hospital stay. Residents could stay at the shelter for up to three days and receive care from staff members, including psychiatrists and nurses.
Hoyle said he also has not been able to replace employees who have left the center, and he is down 51 staff positions since January 2007. The center now is conserving power and travel time, he said.
"We have tried to avoid closing programs," Hoyle said. "We have been able to do that with the exception of our crisis unit."
Yeatman, who is the grandmother and adoptive parent of two children, has relied on services from the Pickens County Medical Center, a branch of the system Hoyle oversees. Her 9-year-old grandson suffers from anger, anxiety, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder.
The diagnoses for her 13-year-old grandchild include post-traumatic stress and bipolar disorders as well as ADHD.
Her grandchildren have been using the Anderson-Oconee-Pickens Mental Health Center clinic in Pickens County for the past two years. Counseling services are available for her grandchildren and a doctor helps to prescribe medication.
Yeatman said her grandchildren have received great services from doctors and counselors at the center. She wishes, however, that more counselors were available for patients, and she is worried that more services may be cut as lawmakers consider more budget slashes, she said.
She also said that providing preventative mental health services would be cheaper in the long- run than having more children become institutionalized.
The Anderson-Oconee-Pickens Mental Health Center also has a team of school counselors that work with 300 students in the Anderson County area each year that was not affected by the cuts, except for minor staff reshuffling, Hoyle said.
Nonprofit organizations help fill the void
Grassroots organizations will play an even more important role in ensuring the mental health of the local community with the cuts to the mental health department, according to officials.
Luana Rath, the regional outreach coordinator for the Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health in Anderson, Oconee and Pickens counties, said she has helped 50 people since she became involved in the program in April 2008. She usually worked with the parents and grandparents of children who have many mental health diagnoses, such as bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, she said.
The cuts to the mental health department budget have had a horrible impact on the general public, Rath said.
"It is frightening, because this is such an underserved (population) to begin with," she said of those experiencing mental health conditions. "I can see firsthand these people trying to get help, and they are put on a waiting list."
Rath said that her groups meet in many places across the Upstate, including the Anderson and Oconee county libraries. She said the groups serve people from all economic and racial backgrounds and also helps parents by talking to them one-on-one.
The parents in the group talk freely about anger and burnout before a topic to discuss during the meetings is chosen. The group members feel isolated and judged, but Rath tries to encourage them to be a part of a network that they can look to for support.
Yeatman said the Federation of Families has provided her support during troubling times. Since she has been a part of the group, she has always felt she has had someone she can call, she said.
She also said she has learned a lot about the diagnosis of health problems and about other organizations in her area that can provide help.
Residents who are interested in finding out more about the local Federation of Families chapters can call Rath at (864) 314-8705.
Michelle Ready, the resources person for the Anderson-Oconee-Pickens affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said her group provides free educational classes and support groups to the area. Residents can visit www.namiaop.org for information, and the organization's members meet monthly in Pendleton.
The cuts will cause a longer wait at mental health facilities, Rath said, which may cause some people to decide not to seek treatment.
"We feel with these budget cuts, it is more important for people to know we exist," she said. "Our services are free."

« Cool stuff...Neuroimaging, Neurodevices and Meditation from MIT Tech Review |
| Steven Johnson on Daily Show Today »
Posted by Zack Lynch
Six years ago I had back surgery, an L5-S1 microdiscectomy to be precise, performed by neurosurgeon, Dr. Bruce McCormack (who I highly recommend). Until four weeks ago I felt great but then something went wrong. I couldn't get off the ground. Muscle spasms down my left leg, numbness along the outside of the left and severe sciatica.
For those who don't know, sciatica is actually a symptom and not a diagnosis. The term literally means that a patient has pain down the leg from compression on the sciatic nerve. The diagnosis is what is causing the compression (such as a disc herniation). The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the human body; it runs from each side of the lower spine through deep in the rear and back of the thigh, and all the way down to foot, connecting the spinal cord with the leg and foot muscles. Most often, sciatica pain is caused when the L5 or S1 nerve root in the lower spine is irritated by a herniated disc. When this happens, pain radiates into the rear and back of the thigh and calf, and occasionally may extend down to the foot.
S1 nerve impingement from a herniated disc may cause loss of the ankle reflex and/or weakness in ankle push off (e.g. patients cannot do toe rises). Numbness and pain can radiate down to the sole or outside of the foot.
There are several different causes of sciatica. You can tell which neve is being pinched by where the effects (tingling/pain) are felt. Mine are on the outer leg and go down to the foot, and my two left toes on my left foot are numb.
I've been working with an excellent hanna somatics practioner Kristin who has helped relieve most of the pain, but the radiologist I spoke to about my MRI suggests that I may need surgery again. I busy taking care of my back by doing my somatic exercises which are amazingly powerful. I'm optimistic that I can retrain my chronically contracted muscles and be able to work, run and the have freedom of movement that we all expect, but don't appreciate until its taken away. I'll let you know how I am progressing. Until then...get up out of your chair, step away from your screen, walk outside and enjoy your freedom.

Empires: World War Plus will take you on a journey from World War One, all the way through to the end of World War Three – if, that is, you've got the smarts to manage your forces carefully. There's a lot of information for a new player to take in, so we've put together some handy hints and tips to get you started.
– There are three different military types to choose from in Empires: World War Plus, and each one provides a combat bonus. Choose the Army, and you'll get a battle bonus when attacking with barracks units, while a Navy alignment gives a bonus when using shipyard units. An Air Force specialist will get a combat bonus when controlling units from hangars.
– To make progress in the game you need to head into new war Eras, something achieved by leveling up. Pretty much every progressive action in the game, from clearing trees to participating in Campaigns, provides you with experience points, and you won't be able to access the latest warfare tech without progressing into new Eras.
– You also need to take part in the Campaigns to open up the new military unit types in Empires: World War Plus. To start a new Campaign, tap on the map icon at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. You have to work through Campaigns sequentially, but make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew! Ensure you've built the military infrastructure that you need for each fight – click on the Details section before entering battle to see what you're about to go up against.
– It's not all about military might – you also need to keep a steady flow of resources coming in. Many missions will ask you to expand your farming capability, for example. To create a farm, head to the store, then the Resources tab, and put a farm in place on the map. Tap on the field to choose which crops you want to grow.
– There's a sort of rock-paper-scissors system at play in Empires: World War Plus. Each military unit has an attack bonus that's determined by its associated shape. As an example, square shapes are stronger against triangle shapes, while square versus square is an even fight. Try to use the most appropriate unit type for each head-to-head combat round.
– There's strength in numbers. It's worth teaming up with like-minded allies in order to enhance your attacking power. For each ally you have, you'll do an extra 0.5% damage in battle, so it pays to keep your friends close.
– The Energy system stops you from making too much progress without spending money in the cash store. Don't get left behind in a critical area of expansion – try to progress evenly, so that you have as many resources as possible to put up both a solid offense and defense within your limited Energy capabilities. Remember that you can top up your Energy by completing Campaigns.
– The most precious resource in the game is the Gem currency. Gems can be used to speed up expansion, fill up resources, acquire the most powerful units, and refill your energy. If you don't want to spend real money in the cash store, make sure you finish up any Campaigns that you begin, so you get the Gems reward at the end of them.

There is still time to come on out and whack the little ball around and support CHEC! The silent auction continues as well as corporate sponsorship/advertising opportunities, especially if you are not a golfer. The event will once again be at the scenic Spring Valley Golf Club in Elizabeth CO. Go to our website here to register as a golfer or sponsor. Hope to see you there!
