I am sure you all are asked this all the time but i am concerned with my daughter. She is 5 1/2 she is ALWAYS hungry, occasionally complains about a stomach ache, cloudy urine and the other day her morning breathe wasn't stinky is smelt sweet, she also starting bed wetting about midway through the night. she also has a terrible time going to sleep at night but also a hard time waking up even after 12 hrs of sleep... things have just started to add up as over the last month have been happening more together and each thing on their own are just typical kid things but all together i athink i will be making an appointment at her dr to be seen. I just was wondering if this sounds familiar to any of you or am i overreacting to normal kid stuff. Again it has only been all the symptoms for about a week and i will be making an appointment i just want to know if i should be concerned it is diabetes or if it is just something else.. the doctors here are not good and i will have to more than likely fight for any testing to be done so any info is very helpful.
Were there any signs?

Sorry to hear about the symptoms. It can be scary when you feel like something is wrong with your kid but you can' quite figure out what.
The classic symptoms of type 1 diabetes are:
-frequent urination (including sudden bedwetting)
-weight loss
-as things progress, fruity or acetone-like breath and flu-like symptoms
The thing is, not every kid has these symptoms, and most do not not have them all.
If you are concerned, please take her into the doctor immediately, as things can be stable for a while and then go downhill quickly. Request a urine test for glucose and ketones, and a check with a blood glucose monitor right in the office. Also ask for proper bloodwork to be done. Pediatricians are great, but they are not specialists, and they work from personal experience. Some will take your concerns seriously, and others will blow you off. Don't let that happen to you.
If you need a temporary measure (this does not replace getting proper testing done), you can buy a blood glucose meter and test strips from any drug store or Target or Walmart--store brands are relatively inexpensive, and test a drop of her blood. We can help you interpret results. Ketostix (strips that you pee on that show whether ketones are present and can suggest diabetes) can also be picked up quite cheaply. Again, these steps don't replace going to the doctor, but they can give you more information and either set you mind at ease or send you to the ER.
Finally, if she develops flu-like symptoms or starts vomiting, please go straight into the ER--it suggests that something could be very wrong.
The symptoms do not scream diabetes, but they could possibly point to it. Do yourself and your daughter a favour and get them checked out ASAP.
Good luck!

I blew thoughs off as stress and adjusting to full day kindergarten. The she started to ask for a water bottle at school, suddenly having accidencts at bed time and day time and then a yeast infection which led me to the peds. I did notice she was bit thin but thought it was a growth spurt.j.
I took her in thinking I was just going to have her yeast infection taken care of, but something dawned on me that I should just ask for them to test. Sure enough the urine was posistive for4+ ketones and her bg was over 350 fasting.
I was her happy peds were not blowing me off. Your dd sounds like mine at the begining. Do not wait till things get really bad. Everyone was surprised even thought to ask. Lots of kids have to go to picu we had a realitively uneventful two day stay at the hosiptal. Good luck and keep us upadated.
Best of luck to you.
Make sure they check a blood sugar, don't just say "these are her symptoms", you know? Specifically ask for it.
DS's symptoms started months before. He too, always wanted water. i thought - "Great! He's drinking healthy!" Then he peed more.. "Well of course, he's drinking more!" Then he started having accidents at night - very frequently. Then, he had a "tummy bug" and we went to the doctor because I noticed his respiratory pattern wasn't right (I'm a Respiratory student so of course I zoned in on that). Thank God our ped checked his blood sugar. It was so crazy high (544) that it was dangerous.
Our family adventure after my son's T1D diagnosis:
My daughter had started chugging milk, wetting through diapers, and eating like a grown man. She's 2.
Even if it's not diabetes, anything that differs from her normal should be investigated. Good luck and keep us posted!
I agree, if you haven't taken her in already, take her in now. Cloudy urine is a sign of infection. At the very least, she needs attention for that.

Take her in, you will feel better, just knowing. good luck.

Did the doctor say to put her on a low-carb diet and wait for blood tests? Generally, a child who is growing needs carbs. Not all carbs are bad, after all. Candy and sugared juice removal is never a bad idea; an absense of refined sugars will help the immune system. As for the blood tests, they could have been done in a matter of minutes at the office. I wonder if they are even looking for diabetes. I would go back right now, appointment or no appointment.
I get the overseas stuff. My middle son was born in Heidelberg, Germany. I was never very happy with the care we got at the Army hopsital there; we just eeked through until we were stateside again. Sometimes we were not happy with the stuff in the states, either. There is something about the military; sometimes the right hand simply doesn't know what the left hand is doing. You have to mediate.
So, I am curious. Did they only do blood work and no urine test in the office? The urine test would have been the first step. The simply finger prick would have been the nbext test. I am wondering if they just drew blood from her arm for something else.
Feel free to pm me, if you want. I can at least offer an understanding ear. My dad was Air Force. Hubby was Army. Now our oldest son is Air Force.
I don't want to alarm you, but I would be camping out at the ER. The more I think about this, abdominal pain (I wonder if that is what you meant by stomach ache) is a sign of something more serious. If they did the urine test and finger prick in the office, they would have caught it right then if that is what it is.
Hoping you can weed through the garbage and get help soon,

Brendan Rodgers says no hard feelings about Luis Suarez's transfer
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists there is no bad blood between the club and Luis Suarez following the Uruguayan's move to Barcelona.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists there is no bad blood between the club and Luis Suarez following the Uruguayan's move to Barcelona.
The Catalan club claimed Suarez was "100 per cent" their player last week but there has not yet been an official announcement from either club.
The controversial striker is currently going through an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against his prospective four-month ban from football, including nine international matches, for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
But Rodgers once again spoke about Suarez in the past tense from Liverpool's pre-season base in Boston and hailed the man who scored 33 goals in 39 appearances for his side last season.
"Luis hasn't let me or the club down at all - he gave everything for Liverpool," Rodgers said. "Of course there have been issues, but they're in the past. He was a brilliant player for us and for me, and I will always see him as a good man and a good friend.
"It's a shame he's not here but Liverpool, as a club, is bigger than any individual and we will move forward without him. It's really exciting going into this season. We've qualified for the Champions League and brought in some good players. Hopefully we'll progress."
Rodgers was speaking at his first press conference in the USA, having been taken ill when the club touched down in Massachusetts on Tuesday.

Sami languages
Sami is a group of Uralic languages spoken by the Sami people in Northern Europe. Sami is frequently and erroneously believed to be a single language. Several names are used for the Sami languages: Saami, Sámi, Saame, Samic, Saamic, as well as the exonyms Lappish and Lappic. The last two, along with the term Lapp, are now often considered derogatory.... more on Wikipedia

So I just need to know regarding this whether installing it will have some effects on my system performance and also if it will slow down internet like other antivirus programs do. Will it prove to be complete solution for internet security as well as other defective files and malwares and viruses. I also need to know some good antivirus which would prove more beneficial than this one.

Photos: China sends first woman into space
Posted by mleyba on 06/16/2012 7:09pm MDT tags: Photo
China launched its most ambitious space mission yet on Saturday, carrying its first female astronaut and two male colleagues in an attempt to dock with an orbiting module and work on board for more than a week. The Shenzhou 9 capsule lifted off as scheduled at 6:37 p.m. (1037 GMT) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the edge of the Gobi Desert. All systems functioned normally and, just over 10 minutes later, it opened its solar panels and entered orbit. The launch was declared a success by space program chief Chang Wanquan, a People's Liberation Army general who sits on the ruling Communist Party's powerful central military commission – underscoring the program's close military ties.
Female astronaut Liu Yang, 33, and two male crew members – mission commander and veteran astronaut Jing Haipeng, 45, and newcomer Liu Wang, 43 – are to dock the spacecraft with a prototype space lab launched last year in a key step toward building a permanent space station.

It was quite the introduction for the defensive back from Cross City. After enrolling early at the University of Florida to begin his Gator career a semester early, Duke Dawson earned the trust of the coaching staff and playing time in the season opener against the Eastern Michigan Eagles.
Dawson intercepted a pass and took it 36-yards for a score. It was the first time a Florida Gators true freshman had returned an interception for a touchdown since De'Ante Saunders did it against the Furman Paladins in 2011.
Like that, the young player from just about an hour away from Gainesville had introduced himself to Gator Nation.
2014 season stats: 14 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 interception, 1 pass breakup
Dawson played in 11 games as a freshman, including one start at safety. Dawson had played both cornerback and safety in high school and when he arrived at Florida he continued working at both positions in the spring. As the season went on the need for safety became more pressing than cornerback and Dawson moved to the backend of the defense.
Dawson remained at safety this spring when Defensive Coordinator Geoff Collins took over the defense and he was used as a backup to Marcus Maye and Keanu Neal in base packages and heavily when Florida would go into nickel and dime sets.
Dawson will be a key contributor on special teams in 2014 and will continue to earn playing time on defense, working into the rotation in the secondary.

Josef Newgarden channels his inner 'Ted Crasnick,' fools almost all IndyCar drivers
INDIANAPOLIS — Ted Crasnick stole the show during Thursday's Indianapolis 500 media day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Well, Crasnick's alter ego is IndyCar driver Josef Newgarden, who dressed up with heavy makeup, a huge fake nose and looked like something out of the 1950s — and then pretended to be a member of the media.
"I wanted to do this idea three years ago," Newgarden said. "I wanted to first do it as a yellow shirt (track security), but logistically it would have been too difficult."
Newgarden's plan finally came to fruition when ESPN agreed to tag along with him during media day for a feature that will be aired Sunday on ABC's pre-race show before the Indianapolis 500.
"ESPN and I decided together this would be a better idea to do it in the media crowd and I'd be part of the media."
Newgarden was part of the second scheduled group of drivers that came through later in the session, allowing him to transform into "Ted" for the opening segment – and with no one being the wiser.
Well, almost no one.
Crasnick/Newgarden fooled everyone – with the exception of Will Power. Even one of Newgarden's best buddies, Graham Rahal, fell for the ruse.
"Will Power was the only guy that knew it was me, and I was shocked he figured it out," Newgarden said. "No one else knew. Oriol (Servia) didn't know, Helio (Castroneves) didn't know, Graham, I don't think knew. Mikhail (Aleshin) was just awkward to talk to."
Even Newgarden's boss, Ed Carpenter, was completely in the dark.
"Ed didn't know," Newgarden said. "The one guy that probably should have known it was me didn't know it was me."
Newgarden's alter ego posed as a "reporter" from several outlets, including HarveyWorld.com, Boca Raton Senior Society, ProstateHealth.com and RVWorld.com.
Two of "Crasnick's" most memorable exchanges were with Oriol Servia and Helio Castroneves.
"Oreo, good to meet you. You're named after a cookie, I understand," Crasnick said. … "Oreo, I love that name, it's so sweet."
To his credit, Servia played it straight and answered all of Crasnick's questions, even one that involved, uh, err, "relieving" himself in his race car during a race.
Now, Castroneves was a whole different story.
"Helio lost words about halfway through," Newgarden said with a laugh. "I've never seen him at a loss for words.
"That was the funniest part. I was asking him about peeing in the car and he was so confused about what I was asking him that he just didn't know what to say."
Check out a few hits from social media showing "Crasnick" at work:

Guess who showed up at Indy? New NASCAR Hall of Famer Mark Martin
INDIANAPOLIS — Newly NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee-elect Mark Martin isn't even entered in either race, but he'll be doing the proverbial motorsports "double" on Sunday.
Martin will be in Indianapolis for the start of the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500. A few hours after the green flag drops on the Greatest Spectacle In Racing, he'll be on a plane headed for Charlotte to take in the Coca-Cola 600 that evening.
Actually, there's a bit more to all that. Martin felt he had such little chance to be chosen for the Hall that he left his native Arkansas earlier this week to attend the 500.
"It was a bucket list sorta thing," he said.
But then came Wednesday's announcement that he had been elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2017 – while he was on the road headed to Indy, no less – and Martin's travel plans suddenly got a lot more complicated.
He was in Indy on Thursday, attending Indianapolis 500 media day. He flies to Charlotte Friday afternoon, returns to Indy on Saturday, and then does the Indianapolis-Charlotte jaunt on Sunday.
"I was speechless, still not sure what to say, other than I'm surprised," Martin said of his selection for the NASCAR Hall. "If I'd been voting, I'd have voted another way.
"But I'm humbled and honored and not only to be in this class because of the performance of the people in this class and the people, the persons they were. … I just feel really fortunate. It's like icing on the cake, like the race you never won but always wanted to, and more."
To further illustrate his total surprise at being chosen for the Hall, Martin quipped, "I did not expect it, or otherwise I wouldn't have been in the motor home driving up here yesterday.
"I hadn't been to (the Indy 500) in my lifetime, so now it appears I'm going to be doing the 'double.' I'm not driving, but I'm doing the 'double' anyway."
Here's a few posts from Martin's Twitter account about his time at IMS on Thursday as well as his selection for the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Oh, Canada! James Hinchcliffe hopes to repay countrymen for support with Indy 500 win
INDIANAPOLIS — Polesitter James Hinchcliffe wants to obviously win Sunday's 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 for himself and Schmidt Peterson Motorsports.
He also wants to win for his family – all 35 million of them.
Hinchcliffe understands very well the huge significance of what his being in the 500 means to everyone in his native Canada.
Since winning the pole, Hinchcliffe has been front-page news from Halifax to Vancouver. He also knows millions of his fellow Canadians will be watching the 500 on television and cheering for the guy who proudly wears the maple leaf.
"After last Sunday, the amount of support pouring out of home was very overwhelming," Hinchcliffe said during Thursday's Indy 500 Media Day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "The amount of messages I got that were 'regardless of what happens Sunday (in the Indy 500), we're all behind you,' that's so nice."
Now Hinchcliffe hopes to repay the faith his countrymen have had in him throughout his racing career.
"Being the only full-time Canadian driver in the field. I want to do my country proud," Hinchcliffe said. "I want to give Canadian motorsports fans something to cheer for."
Hinchcliffe is one of a number of IndyCar drivers that have hailed from north of the border. Among those have been Paul Tracy (from Scarborough, Ontario), Scott Goodyear (Toronto), Alex Tagliani (Montreal) and Patrick Carpentier (LaSalle, Quebec). Tagliani, who starts 33rd, book-ends the field of 33 this year.
And let's not forget Jacques Villeneuve (Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec), the only Canadian to ever win the 500, having done so in 1995, ironically when Goodyear passed the pace car.
"The support I've felt from back home from Day 1 of my IndyCar career has just been incredible," said Hinchcliffe, who hails from the outlying Toronto suburb of Oakville. "We've had some good years and bad years, and regardless of the results and in true Canadian fashion, they're behind you win, lose or draw.
"It's just incredible. I've gotten so lucky to come from that place. To know you have that support and they're behind you in any situation is huge."
While Hinchcliffe was a huge Villeneuve fan, the one Indy car driver that he has tried to emulate in his career is the late Greg Moore, who was killed in a crash at Fontana, California, in 1999.
Moore never got the chance to race at Indianapolis, primarily due to the split between CART and the Indy Racing League in 1996.
"Obviously, we lost him too soon," Hinchcliffe said of Moore. "I was a huge (Jacques) Villeneuve fan. He was really the guy that got me into it (Indy car racing).
"And when he switched to F1, sure, I followed his F1 career very closely, but in IndyCar, his replacement was Greg Moore. And that's the guy that really connected with me somehow, and not just how he drove.
"There were a lot of bad-fast racing drivers, but Greg was a really great human being. That was the guy that I looked at and thought, 'Hey, if I ever get to do this for a living, that's the guy I want to be like."

Indy 500 Thursday notes: Logos, lights, Lilly, lunches and more
INDIANAPOLIS – The beauty of media day for the 100th Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil is that you get a lot of interviews done. The downside of media day is that you then have to transcribe those interviews.
Alas, even though on-track activity was limited to just Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires practice and qualifying, it's still been a busy day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Quick notes are below:
- The logo for the 101st Indy 500 and the "race to renew" were unveiled. Much, of course, is being made about the 100th running of the race and as you'd expect, the powers-that-be are concerned with the retention plan for the 101st race, which will take place May 28, 2017. A full release from IMS is linked here, while the logo is posted to the right.
- Indy Lights qualifying got canceled. Not from a lack of effort. Practice was shortened from three hours – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. – to just 90 minutes from 9 to 10:30. Juan Piedrahita led the way for Team Pelfrey. Qualifying then got through the first eight drivers before an accident for Zachary Claman De Melo and then rain hit. Carlin's Ed Jones will have the pole position, with the field set by points, over Santiago Urrutia and Kyle Kaiser. The race airs live at noon on Friday as part of NBCSN's Carb Day coverage, which begins at 11 a.m. ET.
- Other lights announced. "Lights at the Brickyard" was announced late Wednesday, to tentatively run from Nov. 18 to Dec. 31. Here's that full release.
- Lilly to Conor Daly's car. Lilly Diabetes joins Conor Daly's No. 18 Dale Coyne Racing Honda as co-primary sponsor. From a team release: "Lilly Diabetes of Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) will serve as co-primary sponsor of the No. 18 ShirtsForAmerica.com/Lilly Diabetes Honda, driven by Conor Daly, in the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 29. As part of the sponsorship, Daly's No. 18 car will run a special patriotic paint scheme with a series of four stars, one colored in blue to recognize the one in four veterans who live with diabetes, which is two and a half times greater than the general population."
- Newgarden "wins" media day. My colleague Jerry Bonkowski have a boat load of interviews to get through that you'll see on NBCSports.com throughout the coming days. But a quick hat tip first to the Indianapolis Star, who already has this post up on Josef Newgarden's prank as an interviewer himself.
- Pennzoil, Penske host lunch. Team Penske's usual Thursday night media dinner shifted to being a lunch this afternoon to pay tribute to its partnership with Shell Pennzoil – Pennzoil adorns the No. 3 "Yelio Submarine" Chevrolet driven by Helio Castroneves – and to prepare for the 100th Indianapolis 500 race. Castroneves, Simon Pagenaud, Will Power and Juan Pablo Montoya all spoke along with Roger Penske, Tim Cindric and a key Shell executive. Penske said IndyCar has "one of the best products" and is determined for his team to win his 17th Indianapolis 500 with any of its four drivers.
- So does Townsend Bell with California Pizza Kitchen. Based on the pics below, we're in for a doozy tomorrow as part of our Carb Day coverage.
- Which speaking of that coverage… It runs from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on NBCSN and will feature Carb Day practice, the Indy Lights Freedom 100, and the 2016 Pit Stop Competition.
The Pit Stop Competition bracket is below:
More to come from Indy later today and tomorrow.

"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the de@d , you will be saved." Romans 10:9 NIV
I weighed myself today, just to see where I
was at and since starting a few weeks now and have dropped down
23 pounds, but as I said, some of muscle is also on board for the
ride now, so for me it's not a constant check on the scales, as
I'm in it for the life improvement stage of things, not just a diet
that you go on and can't wait to get off of, this is something that
I plan on just continuing with!
For instance our eating has changed a bit and the family is also getting
into the deal a little, not as positive about it as I am but they may
turn the corner. Tonight we had steamed veggies with some saugage
mixed in to add some spice along with it, very good, I could have gone
without the saugage but it was a lighter saugage with spinach inside
some strange thing but tasty.
34" pants fit easily now but I'm a ways from the 32", I was hoping by
end of Sept, but if not, I'll eventually make it there.
A lot stronger now as well, and riding my bike a bit quicker too, adding
more miles during my errand runs at lunch, now I'm up to almost 10 and
some days just over, all within an hour's time including stops to the
bank, post office, dvd rental and other things, not all of the stops each

lake at my top speed, was able to get up to 25mph but haven't done
that again yet, wind or fatigue, it's been REALLY hot here lately.
Let me tell you, on a winding flat path, 25mph is tough to get up to!
So for all of you working it down, hang in there, keep the mental thoughts
going strong, and I'd recommend not weighing yourself every day as
things can fluctuate, go about two weeks and mark it down and see
where you're headed.

Psalm 1
Hey, Don: My wife has been an elementary school counselor for the past five years so I've seen the pay scale. (She also just resigned so that she can finish her clinical supervision and go into private practice.) But doubling your money is still doubling your money, and that's still great news.
Of course, six months from now you'll feel just as broke as you do now but you'll have more stuff. We meaning all of us seem to be able to expand our spending to accomodate virtually any level of income.
Mandatory weight-loss content:
The day before yesterday, my last day at my old job, I ran into one of the bus drivers from school. She hadn't seen me in six months or so. She asked how my summer went, and I told her I'd had surgery but things were going great. She responded:
"Oh, that does sound great! So, did you have your stomach stapled, or that lap band, or what?"
Now, on to our regularly scheduled hijack:
Most of the "stuff" for now is going to be home improvements which are sorely needed, so I'm hoping they'll be a little more permanent than just blowing money on stereos and TV's. I do want a bike. My wife promised me a gun, but I'm going to get a safe instead. I need one.
I haven't been able to overpay on the mortgage and student loans during my "under-employment," so I'm going back to that. I expect to pay both off early. But I wasn't putting money aside for retirement before, and I do want to start that now. We have a pension system called Teacher's Retirement System, but I don't trust it. If they deliver what they promise, it's a pretty good retirement if you have the time in. But if they tell me to take half my benefits and like it, as I suspect they might, there won't be much I can do about it. And by paying into TRS, I avoid paying into Social Security, which wasn't much of a security blanket to begin with.
So, basically I'm going to spend money on these things:
1. Retirement
2. New windows, insulation, furnace upgrades, wiring, bathroom.
3. Overpay mortgage and student loans to eliminate debt.
I'd like to build a new desktop computer, get some of the knives I've been drooling over, etc, but reality is that I don't need those things. The bathroom, in particular, is a sorely pressing need. The current bathroom is a porch adapted by inbred carnies at least 40 years ago. The tub scares my wife; she won't sit down in it to take a bath. The floor is worse and about a 3% grade, and they actually put a large detour in the plumbing specifically to locate the toilet almost in the middle of the room, for no apparent reason. We call it a Walk-Around Toilet.
She can't complain, though. She just HAD to have this house. It's got so much "potential." We are the stereotypical young couple from every bad haunted-house movie you've ever seen.

See? You're managing to lose weight and figure out how to spend all of your new income. But it sounds like you're going to spend it wisely (assuming there's a new bike thrown in there someplace.) Stereos and such lose their value within seconds of buying 'em. Your home, your retirement, your next good bicycle they all do just the opposite.
Well, okay, maybe the bike won't appreciate but good ones do hold their value pretty well. And the health and longevity that you're creating by getting in better shape riding that bike mean that you have a better shot at actually using your retirement. I mean, hey, what good is retirement if it just means your wife gets to live like a princess after you're dead???
By the way, I've heard that "so much potential" thing before. Just remember, sometimes the best renovations begin with either a bulldozer, a chainsaw, or a For Sale sign.
Kinda like a car that's surpassed it's usefulness... Just jack up the radiator cap and drive a new car under it! LOL! Peace, Ritz.

I only managed to get in 9 miles this afternoon. About 5 miles into it, I noticed the bike bouncing a bit over the pavement expansion joints. Bouncing? Hmmm.... So I stopped and found my rear tire losing air rapidly. No big deal I've got a spare tube. I change the tire and start inflating it with my frame pump. Oh, ya! Now I remember how badly my frame pump sucks. Total POS. I'd sworn after the last flat tire (thankfully, it's been a long time since I had one) that I'd replace it but, lazy ass that I am, I never did.
So I limped home with about 15 lbs of pressure in my rear tire. That made for a decent workout, what with the heat, hills, and all.
And this time I did replace the POS pump with a (hopefully) better Blackburn model. With luck, I won't have to try it out for a long time.
Sorry to hear about the flat, and the less than spectacular pump. Congratulations are in order for your purchase of a shiny new pump, and the achievement of a great workout! There's always an upside.
I managed to get in another 7.8 miles around tha 'hood, with my four-year-old in tow.
Yep, 33.8 miles today... now if i could only weigh less. 283 today.
"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the de@d , you will be saved." Romans 10:9 NIV
283 beats 299 any day. . . . NOOOO! My hijack! It was nearly complete. I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you durn kids.
I put in a little over 18 miles today, the last 8 or so in driving rain. If it hadn't been for the rain, I'd have turned east instead of west at the halfway point and made a much larger loop--I was having WAY too much fun. It felt great to be back on a bike, and everything fit beautifully. Riding was effortless, although my legs are stiff as boards now. I got run off a road and almost went over the bike trying to get my feet out of toe clips, got chased by dogs twice, rode in the pouring rain . . . . but it was fantastic.
Did I mention I bought a Giant OCR2 yesterday?
I can't stop smiling.

Ya, baby, NEW TOYS!!!
So how'd you decide on the Giant? And who or what ran you off the road?
Well, I rode an FCR4. I thought I would ride the FCR4, ride a Specialized Sirrus, and maybe ride an OCR3 to make sure I didn't want it. But I thought if I ever wanted road bars, I would just switch the handlebars. Of course, it turns out you can't do that without switching shifters, brakes, etc.
Well, the FCR was great, but I couldn't help looking at the OCR models they had. The only other road bikes were Specialized Allez and Sequoia, and those were out of my price range. Actually, so was the OCR2, but I bought it anyway. I asked to ride an OCR3, and Matt the sales guy said he had an OCR2 set up in large. I didn't realize that meant he actually didn't have an OCR3 in that size. I rode the OCR2 and immediately fell in love. I rode it forever; I didn't want to take it back. When I got back, I found I wasn't really excited about the FCR4 anymore (when I rode the FCR4, comparing it to that Huffy, I really loved it.)
Well, of course they didn't have an OCR3, so I asked what the difference was. It would have taken four weeks to get an OCR3 in my size, and I really wanted to buy there. I didn't want clipless at first, and I knew I didn't need the swoopy racing wheels with a low number of spokes, so Matt told me that if I'd take a set of hand-built 32-spoke wheels and some platform pedals he'd give me the OCR2 for $650. That sounded reasonable to me, so I called the wife and she said she didn't care--after she caught her breath. I told her I'd be willing to sell a gun to cover the difference. Wheelfast threw in a couple of small freebies (toe clip pedals, Schrader adapters for the valve stems) and fitted it to me nicely, and the first year of maintenance is free as well. I've never bought a bike at a bike shop before, so forgive the bubbling. The new wheels seem great; they took all the bumps and thumps I couldn't avoid today with no problem.
So I bought it and took it home intending to ride it over to my parents' house to meet everyone for dinner, but when I got home the dark clouds were rolling in and the wind was swirling. I had time to put the bike in the dining room and close some windows on the house before the store let loose, so I didn't ride it that night.
But this morning it was cool and fairly clear, so I got up, went outside and transferred my bag and computer to the OCR3 and took off. That bike is a joy! Nobody really ran me off the road; a truck behind me honked to let me know he was there. I tried to move over, but I guess I'm still not used to the handling--I went a little too far, got onto the slope at the edge of the crowned road, which pulled me off into the soft gravel, which pulled me into the grass. I was trying to slow down and control it, which I did manage to do without going down, but I had a heck of a time getting my feet out of the toe clips.
I was also chased by dogs, but it was almost fun on that bike. I just yelled at them to stop, and when they didn't, all I had to do was tap the shifter a couple of times and leave them far behind!
Great ride. It did dump buckets of rain on me on the way home, but I was still miles from home and there was no lightning, so I just started pushing a little harder. It was just beautiful. . . .

Very cool. I'm jealous. Gotta finish the "convince the wife" routine so I can go get a new road bike, too.
Congrats Don!

Hey Gary, just wanted to drop in and say hello...it's good to see another cutlery enthusiast who's into cycling on this board. ...not many of my knifemaking buddies are into riding bicycles...not cool enough for them..
Don, congratulations on the new job! ...and new bike! I've got a couple year old OCR1 and love it...well, I should say I did love it, still do I suppose...but it's not been getting much ride time since I got into recumbents...I think I'll take it out for a ride today...been awhile since it's seen the pavement.
...as for an update on my weight loss progress...well, it's been going abysmally...but, I'm still keeping up hope...I've still not been able to break that 220 barrier...due, for sure to my diet...dang it I like to eat good food...but I have started cooking much more lately as opposed to eating out, and am trying to exercise more portion control and have cut back considerably on eating meats...so I'm still trying...
Stuck at about the same weight for almost 9 months now. Getting pretty frustrated. Now with fall and winter approaching I am looking hard a a winter training program. Ordered a set of rollers, have a trainer and weight set. Now if I can just find the motivation to set the schedule and stick with it!
I'm happy to hear so many are doing so well. I really have to remember to check in here on a more regular baiss!

Hi Don,
I've been suck at ~220lbs (+/- 5lbs) for such a long time. 2800 miles so far this year and still sitting right there. Last year I had 2705 for the entire year and lost 40lbs.
I know I'll get over this hump. I just have to keep plugging away.

[QUOTE=Don Gwinn]Hey, there are knife nuts here? Cool. I don't make anything but charred, misshapen lumps of steel, but I do love knives.
Yep, a couple from what I can tell! When I'm not doing work for my ph.d. I'm either at the anvil forging blades or at the welding bench building forges to sell to bladesmiths....this is, of course, when I'm not out riding!
I recognized Gary Graley's avatar from some of the knifemaking forums I frequent.
Allright... I need some support gang. I'm coming from 212 in late April and shooting for a goal of 160 by the end of the year. I've been doing great so far by the increased exercise of jogging/riding and watching the food intake and losing about 2lbs. per week. I'm was down to 178-179 for the past three or four days.
My biggest problem, like many others, is portion control. Yesterday I just couldn't stop myself. I had three diet pepsi's during the day, my usual packed lunch, snacked a bit before dinner (which is unusual for me) and then had a couple large plates of food for dinner. It was shake n' bake covered chicken breast(s), broccoli and cheese rice, and broccoli. I got up this morning feeling guilty about last nights loss of control or should I say BINGE. I stepped on the scale and was shocked to see 183lbs. I had to take a step back, zero the scale and try again... nope that didn't help. I realize its probably water weight and tomorrow I should be back under 180 but this sure is weighing (no pun intended) on my mind all day. I feel like going home early and just riding all day but I can't so I'll just sit here and feel bad all day.

Smaller portions much more frequently. I am following the "diet" (although I consider it a life change in eating habit, not some wierdo-plan to follow for 3 weeks,FYI) from the Body For Life book. I think the the entire book and it's principals are amazing. You might want to to check it out, it's by Bill Phillips. If I don't eat every 2 hours, I seem to lose control and eat lots of whatever is in front of me.

I might as well chime in with my story. Almost 1 year ago I weighed 242 lbs (110 kg) @ 5'7" (170cm) tall. At 38 years old, I knew I was looking at diabetes and a whole host of other health problems if I didn't do something. I went to my doctor for a complete physical. Man was I screwed up. All my blood work was either in the red or damn close. My blood pressure was borderline high and my EKG looked like crap so my doc sent me in for a stress test to make sure my ticker was OK. It took me two weeks to get in to see the cardiologist and It was a really scary and depressing wait to find out if I had done any permanent damage to my heart. Well, my stress test turned out OK, although obviously I was way out of shape. During my two week wait, I decided that my body was going down the toilet and I didn't need just a diet. I needed an entire lifestyle change. I decided I was going to stop blaming my weight on my genes, my thyroid, my metabolism and every other lame excuse you think up when you're fat. I decided to take responsibility for my own condition.
I gave up all the crap I had been putting in my body. All the sodas, all the sweets, all the burgers and frys and ice cream and BS I was putting into myself on a daily basis. I went on a sensible diet and started eating the things which would start doing me some good. I started on an exercise program. At first it was very difficult naturally. I could only do short periods of time on the stationary bike at low resistance settings. However, I started doing a bit of research and learned about training by heart rate as far as the aerobic zone, anaerobic zone, etc. I started training in different parts of the aerobic zone and doing intervals once or twice per week. I started making big improvements in my fitness. By the time I made it up to 1 hour sessions on my endurance training days, sitting on the stationary bike soaked in my own sweat while watching the soap operas the frustrated housewives had set the TVs to. I bought myself a bike and started riding. After a few months I bought a better bike and kept riding even more.
Now I'm down to 173lbs (78kg) and I feel incredible. I had a checkup and I've made a complete turnaround with my health. My blood pressure is 90/70. My cholesterol is 140. All of my other blood parameters were in the normal range. I'd like to lose another 20 lbs and I know I'll get there, but I'm not in any hurry. I've never really been in a hurry about my weight loss. My main goal was to improve my health and change my lifestyle. My weight loss and improvements in my appearance are just a nice byproduct of the whole experience. My ultimate goal is just to continue with my lifestyle for the rest of my life.

*While Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida (ca. 1601-2) remains perhaps the most enigmatic play in the canon, its very genre being still in question, its language has been shown to contain an unusually frequent and pervasive series of references to value. 2 Terms and concepts, that is, relating to exchange, commerce, estimation, worth, price, buying and selling, trading, and so on, seem central to at least one meaning-level of the play. As a mode of entry into that level, I have chosen to examine the "value" speeches of Ulysses, who appears to represent the "establishment," or hierarchical position of the state, and whose famous "degree speech" is often taken to be an expression of Shakespeare's, or at least the play's, orthodox conception of order. 3
Since Ulysses' speeches occur within a dramatic sequence of dialogue and action, their comprehension should benefit from a contextual glance at the play's other references to value. For, as Hobbes reminds us, "they that insist upon single texts, without considering the main design, can derive nothing from them clearly." 4
At the start, Shakespeare's "arm'd" Prologue to Troilus and Cressida, entering "not in confidence / Of Authors pen ..." (II. 24-25), suggests a reply, it is generally held, to Ben Jonson's armed Prologue in Poetaster (1601). There, with "well erected confidence" (I. 13), Jonson's Prologue asserts,
put case our Authour should, once more;
Sweare that his play were good ... (11.15-16) 5
Jonson's self-proclaimed "goodness" is again asserted in Cynthia's Revels (1600-I), whose Epilogue concludes authoritatively with a quotation from the writer himself:____________________

Google Insights for Search: Holiday Season Could Be Rough
Posted on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 by Ted Ives Print This Post
Categories - Analytics, Featured, SEM, SEO
Google Insights for Search is not only a great tool for understanding search term volumes, but also for understanding where the economy is going. And if you compare the search volume for the keyword "gift" to years past, the trends suggest internet retailers may be in for a slower holiday season:
When overlaying years on top of each other, GIS does not appear to scale the years to January 1 or anything like that – some keyword trends that are zooming up are reflected in the years clearly showing up above each other in progression, and some that are dropping also show years appearing successively below each other (try "dial-up internet" for a good example). The term "gift", which one would think would be representative of holiday sales, has been below previous years in the last week or so.
Brand terms of diamond retailers with significant sales volume, like "Blue Nile" and "Tiffany" also have lower search volume on Google recently than in the last several years, as does the perennially popular Christmas gift term "digital camera".
If you project the blue line for "gift" forward, it suggests searches for this term in 2009 could potentially come in significantly below 2008's volume (on the order of 5-10%). It will be interesting to see what these graphs look like after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

Oklahoma State football: Cowboys dead last in percentage of lettermen returning
There are 128 major-college football teams in 2014. Oklahoma State ranks 128th in terms of percentage of returning lettermen.
According to Phil Steele's College Football Preview, the Cowboys lose 32 of their 70 lettermen off the 2013 team. You can read the Phil Steele data here.
That's one reason not to be optimistic about the Cowboys. On the other hand, there are other ways to gauge experience.
Forget percentage. If lettermen data is important, who cares how many you lost. Just rank teams by how many you have returning. The Cowboys' 38 lettermen back rank 113th. Which is better than dead last.
In terms of percentage returning, the top five are: 1. South Carolina 85.29; 2. Texas-San Antonio 84.62; 3. Mississippi State 82.61; 4. Air Force 80.77; 5. Tulsa 80.3.
In the Big 12, West Virginia ranks 11th (78.33%), OU ranks 29th (73.85%), Texas ranks 30th (73.77%), TCU ranks 39th (72.31%), Texas Tech ranks 53rd (70.42%), Baylor ranks 61st (69.86%), Iowa State 116th (60.61%), Kansas State 119th (60.0%), Kansas 126th (56.14%).
Interestingly, Louisiana Tech ranks 127th, so OU is scheduled to play the three bottom teams in terms of percentage of lettermen returning.
As far raw lettermen returning, Air Force ranks first with 63, followed by Louisiana-Lafayette 61, Ole Miss 60, Marshall 59, Indiana 59, Army 59 and South Carolina 58.
In the Big 12, returning lettermen rankings are Baylor 51, Texas Tech 50, OU 48, West Virginia 47, TCU 47, Texas 45, Kansas State 42, Iowa State 40, OSU 38, Kansas 32.
Of course, much of this data is squishy. Not because of Phil Steele, but because of individual schools. What's a letterman? OSU had 70 lettermen last season? That's a lot of ballplayers.
Some players get letters with very little contribution. Each school is different.
But this much is true. OSU, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State face rebuilding jobs to some degree.

PBS' hit children's program Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood will head behind the scenes of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's The Nutcracker on its Dec. 17, episode, following Principal Dancer Alexandra Kochis as she prepares to dance the role of the Sugarplum Fairy. The segment airs locally on WQED at 9 a.m. Dec. 17.
By PBT Principal Alexandra KochisThe holidays are a time of ritual and tradition for all of us and, as dancers, performing The Nutcracker is not an exception to that rule but rather a personification of it, I would say.
Pointe Magazine has ranked Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre soloists Gabrielle Thurlow and Luca Sbrizzi on its Top 10 Standout Performances of 2014 for their exuberant dancing in PBT's April production of "Don Quixote."

Family: "I am an only child. However my dog, Lilly, is considered a sibling just as much as I am."
Hometown: "Cincinnati. But my parents live in Arizona right now."
For Corps de Ballet dancer Caitlin Peabody, the perfect Thanksgiving blurs the line between holidays. "The parade is on from start to finish," she said, adding that she'll accompany it with coffee and maybe even a mimosa in the morning. The traditional day also includes an obligatory viewing of The Miracle on 31st Street.
From the viewing window in the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre lobby, parents watch their children take center-studio. From barre to center exercises, the students are moving through a classic ballet class, but this group of students is actually part of a unique new series.
In collaboration with Autism Connection of PA, PBT piloted an adaptive dance class series this month for middle-and-high-school students with autism spectrum disorders. The classes, based on modified choreography from The Nutcracker, feature a live pianist, adjusted lighting and adapted teaching methods.

Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre opens its 45th Anniversary Season with one of the greatest fairy tale classics of all time, "The Sleeping Beauty" with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Orchestra, onstage for four performances Oct. 24-26, at the Benedum Center.
PBT fans may have spotted them onstage as pre-professional performers in company performances of The Nutcrackeror Swan Lake, but now Michaela King and Marisa Grywalski have joined the official company roster as the newest females of the corps de ballet. And, stay tuned to learn more about PBT's newest male dancers!

'Just what we needed'Very prompt delivery posted on 08/05/2015 by jennybelham
Very prompt delivery and good service. Very pleased with gazebo, it was easy to erect, and is just the right size for use in the garden. Will probably look for side panels to go with it. Looking forward to using it , when having meals outside

the gazebo arrived promptly and was easy to put up although I had been expecting a pop up gazebo wording is a bit ambiguous in the description
Not up to the job.... posted on 14/08/2013 by LauraD
The colour is darker than in the photograph. This aside, we set this up on a sunny day, where there was a risk of showers. Unfortunately from the first shower, everything and everyone was soaked. Great for sun shade, but for even a small shower this wasn't up to the job, very disappointing as this is why we bought it.

thanks, this fixed was recently found and it worked, didn't know who made this though..
is this the first 3.60 game that fixed to 3.55??
thanks, this fixed was recently found and it worked, didn't know who made this though..
is this the first 3.60 game that fixed to 3.55??
mmm... interesting... but it seems to be a update but... who knows...
It is an update I've unpacked and is in fact the normal update says 3.60 PARAM.SFO
There was some confusion with my Scott Pilgrim fix. People said it was still demo locked. I'll have to go back to it and grab my new exdata and see if that makes a difference. It works under ReActpsn 1.11. Don't know if you need the patch I made, or just the actual install pkg might work. Not sure tbh.
Please follow directions on using this. Backup what it tells you, and don't try it on a 256 nand PS3.
Games tested and working fully so far:
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
Rush N Attack Ex Patriot
Cheers and enjoy!
I've tested and does not work Kmeaw CFW 3.55
edit : some people say dirt 3 didn't work and keep asking to update 3.60
need further confirmation abut this.
someone who says it's works says that you must redownload all the file he share.
She asks me to upgrade to 3.60, this because the pkg is simply a 3.60 official update is not any fix
yes one of my friend already download it and doesn't work, sorry to dissapoint.
first they said that it tested and work, seem just a hoax and now it confirmed that it isn't work.
You should tell us if it worked for you next time or if you just saw it posted, thanks for the clarification though.
yes, my bad.

Update Notes
Updated on: 11/13/2015
Since we last visited LatinAdultery...
Never leave a hot Latin woman alone - especially on Latin Adultery, where housewives seduce men other than their husbands. It sucks for their hubbies, but it's awesome for us, because we get to watch those tan pussies get pounded. This is a nicely designed site with easy navigation where you can watch exclusive videos of horny Latinas getting it on with less-experienced men to quench their sexual desires.
When you first enter your login, you get taken to Naughty America's homepage. You can get to LatinAdultery and its 333 videos and 333 photo sets by placing your cursor over the "our sites" tab and then selecting the site from the list that appears. A short description accompanies each scene as well as thumbnails of some of the action.
You can choose to download or stream the movies and you have multiple playback options to choose from. The Windows Media downloads are consistently good in quality, but these days you can count on getting Full HD movies. The newest videos are also available in an Ultra HD format and it's likely that upcoming ones will be as well.
The videos showcase some hot and sexy Latin women doing what it takes to satisfy their sexual urges. Whether they've been left alone by workaholic husbands or are just out looking for a little afternoon delight, these lovely ladies suck cock and take a dick deep in their holes for some hardcore action.
Your membership also gives you access the rest of the network, which includes My Friends Hot Mom, Naughty Office, My Sisters Hot Friend and My First Sex Teacher. There are archived cam shows and interviews to check out as well. On a sad note, the site isn't updating all that often, but they've added at least one scene in the last month.
If the bronze skin of a sexy babe turns you on, then I would venture to bet that you'll really enjoy the naughty wives on Latin Adultery. They know what they want and exactly how to get it, putting on a hell of a show as they break their marriage vows and get freaky on camera.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Southwest General Hospital – El Paso, Texas
A special thank you to G.H.O.S.T. – El Paso Co-Director Chris Medina for suggesting the building and writing about their experiences in the Southwest General Hospital and thanks to Alyn Macleod GHOST El Paso founder for the picture.
Southwest General Hospital is located in El Paso, Texas. The hospital has approximately 19,000 square feet with 4 floors and has a very interesting history.
Constructed in the early 1900s the hospital was known as the Albert Baldwin Heath Resort which was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients. In 1910 the sanatorium was purchased by Dr. R.B Homan and renamed the Homan Sanatorium.
In 1924 Dr. Homan decided to build a new hospital and the sanatorium fell into a state of neglect. The building was useless, except for storing things. In 1927, Sisters from the Order at Concordia, Kansas reopened it as St Josephs. Even through tuberculosis cases started to decrease the need for regular hospitals rose. In order to keep pace with this St. Josephs started remodeling in the mid 1930s and was renamed Southwest General Hospital where is received its first patients on Jan 25, 1937.
In 2008 the hospital is currently being remodeled once again. Of the four floors there are only currently patients on the 3rd floor as the other floors are being remodeled. G.H.O.S.T (Ghost Hunters of Science and Technology) – El Paso has witnessed and compiled a lot if paranormal activity throughout the hospital and is still conducting a number of investigations as well as using this facility as a training site for new paranormal investigators, you can see pictures of the G.H.O.S.T. team on their Facebook page.
The hospital has had a long history undocumented cases of paranormal encounters. While conducting historical and personal interviews G.H.O.S.T. – El Paso was asked to document and prove or disprove many of these encounters. The stories from former patients include a nurse in an older nurse's outfit doing rounds and checking on patients. She died in an elevator accident in the hospital.
The story of Charlie who was a maintenance worker who also died in an elevator accident in the building and still opens and closed the elevator doors for visitors. When it was still the tuberculosis center, there was a special children's ward set up and now you can hear the voices of children fill the hallways after visiting hours.
While filming scenes of the movie "The Burning Plane" production staff would ask for someone to please ask the Nurse on the 4th floor to stop coming to the window and ruining the shoot. The 4th floor has not been in regular use for years.
G.H.O.S.T. – El Paso has recorded many E.V.P.'s and has even captured photographs of shadow people. Some of these can prove that this location has paranormal activity.

I loved this article! I always knew that El Paso had to be up there with some of the most haunted cities in the country…given such a bloody history since the 1500's.
I use to work at SWGH for about 15yrs as a CNA. I worked in Pediatrics until they closed that unit down then I worked on the 3rd floor on Med/Surg. I also worked on the 4th floor in Labor and Delivery also in the ER department. I heard and seen things also. But I loved working there it was a nice and small hospital where everyone worked together. I still miss that place.
My grandmother is currently staying in the hospital on the third floor. I took the elevator to the first floor, in my confusion i hit the B thinking bottom floor, when i finally realized i hit the basement button, the doors were opening. A tremendous fear came over me, i began to panic and started pusing the 1st floor botton. The basement was very dark and cluttered. The only light was from down the hall. I could feel a presence. Today is five days later, I am back in San Antonio and still uneasy about my venture to the basement. My mom told me about someone touching her on the arm to wake it up. That morning my grandmother asked my mom where the little girl went. True stories.
I am Chris Medina, Co Director of G.H.O.S.T. If anyone has any great stories like these please email them to me as well. We are documenting these stories. firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank You
Chris Medina
G.H.O.S.T.- El Paso
My brother also worked at SW gen for a short while. He gave me some fairly creepy accounts from other employees as well as his own experiences. The basement level is not supposed to be accesible to visitors and the employees also know not to venture there. The elevator supposedly takes some people directly to the basement instead of their intended floor. One nurse was trapped in the elevator with gaping doors into the basement for more than 15 minutes. She screamed for help but no one heard her until the doors finally decided to close up and take her back up. The ovens where TB patients bodies were burned were or are still found in the basement.
There are also many children's spirits still occupying the hospital. A security officer who worked there claimed that when he stepped outside the building for a smoke he looked up to the 3rd floor and saw numerous little hands pressed up against the windows. These children also left a trail of small powdery footprints on the main floor one night and handprints on the main doors as if trying to leave. The powder came from the drywall construction mess up on the 4th floor. Seconds before the footprints were found a large bang came from the main entrance.
And according to my brother the floor where the copymachine is located is where there is a restless and angry entity towards the end of the hallway. One other employee was pushed up against the same copymachine. Additionally, my brother heard a loud scream from a male voice and also saw a dark greyish figure behind him when he made copies one night.
Sounds pretty paranormal to me.
i used to work for southwest general hospital.. there by myself (security guard) doin the graveyard shift..i experienced so many things there that made me believe in ghosts.. well this one time i got a call from my boss to go to work there asap.. i asked why and she told me that the guard that was working there left after seeing a small boy thru the locked doors that have windows on the fourth floor.. i was once doin my rounds so i desided to take the elevator.. i knew bout charley cuz the staff told me bout it…anyways the elevator closed and it hesitated to go to the fourth floor.. so i said. "quit your shit charley" and the next thing i saw scared the f*** out me.. a hand print appeared in front of me while i was in the closed elevator.. after that i used the stairways to do my rounds.. i got more stories i just got tired of writing.
i also used to work at the SWGH grave yards by myself (security guard) their was couple occasions when i was working at night weird things unexplainable happened. Their was one time when i went to go do my rounds and i went to the 4th floor with another officer i was training so i was showing him what to do when we started walking down the dark hall we started hearing a typing noise so we walked towards the noise so when we opened the door we saw a type writer their in the floor. that made the hairs on my back stand up so we took off back to the 1st floor. so thats how that happened the other guy never went back to work again. In another occasion i was doing my rounds so i went to the 2nd floor i walked thru the hall way checking each room and they were perfectly fine by the time that i got to the end of the hall way and i was walking back to the elevator as i passed a couple of rooms i saw that the blankets from the beds were thrown on the floor. And their was no one in the hall way but myself. also the charlie story is true when i would be in the lobby at nights sitting down their was no one their and all night long the elevator door would open and close i would tell charlie to stop playing and he would stop for a while but then he would start again.
I had my firstborn on the 4th floor of SWGH, I was also the service elevator operator. The elevator took the life of a Respiratory Therapist not a nurse. She didn't wait for the service elevator and took the public elevator, pushed her tank in and the door behind her shut, she was caught between floors. It should have never happened the elevator didnt move unless the gate was closed. She was a nice young lady. I would also eat downstairs in the basement, it never creeped me out, but I would hear noises. Fear will kill you, Ghosts don't, but that doesn't mean I don't respect them and their space.
I have to refute this because I had spent one night there and never witnessed any paranormal activity and I did work on the 4th floor as well as a student in training in medical records and never witnessed any paranormal activity and constantly road the elevators and again never witnessed any paranormal activity!!
Chris I wrote you sometime last year about me and when I use to work at SWGH. To this day I do beleive that hospital is haunted.When I worked there as a CNA I use to hear and see things and to this day I still do. If you would like to get a hold of me you can contace me at home. My phone number is EDIT . Thank you Dorothy Ruffin
LOL, I used to work on the 4th floor XD
Big Shout out to Charlie the 2nd floor Ghost haha
BIG FU to the third floor staff. You know who u are!
my uncle is currently staying there on third floor we swore i pressed 1 floortook me up to 4 floor kreepy but awasome i herd about charlirlie maitnence and nurse betty but im scared im only 11 but i love him alott so i need to go =)
my uncle in the hospital saw some paranormal activity he saw charlie and betty standing and asked the nurse he described them and he said they dont work there so we got freaked out we left and we went on the elevator wth 2 doors it didnot close we went on the other one it closed so we pressed 1 and it took us to the 4th floor we panicked so it finally closed after 2 min andwe left all scared
I work across from this hospital and go to buy snacks there it feels weird the moment u step in its also creepy looking at the fourth floor from across, its the only dark floor level
When me and my family wennt to SWGH we did experience some paranormal. as my brother and his friends were tryinq to get on the elevator (Charlie) closed da doors on dem. we were also playinq with some little boy..we would roll a car and he would roll it back. what we experienced was pretty amazinnq and hopefully one day we could go back
my name is sarah i was born there in 1965 and i also was a pactient there 2003 for a heart attack .for about a month and when the nurses would come a draw out blood i would tell them they are worse then vampier's . one night i heard the door open and turned around to see if it was the nurse it wasn't i guess it was the air that opened it i asked the nurse if the story's were true about this place all she did was laugh and said i'll be back for more blood i said ha ha and turned back to sleep
After my boss in Dallas purchased the old building. They had my director and I come to the old place to pick up some old gurneys and computer desks. I went in the elevator down to the basement to see if there were any medical closets. As I walked in to the darkness, the smell of perfume passed my nose. I didn't think much of it thinkin that one of the ladies from the LTAC went down there before me. As I was searching, I heard the cry of a child and a lady tell him "everything will be alright, I'm here" I was chilled and the hands stood on my arms and neck. I pushed the elevator button and it was taking forever. As I waited, the crys became louder and louder and in a split second, it stopped. I go audit some of the med records for our docs at the ltac from time to time and I'm always curious to speak to this crying child and compassionate lady I heard in the basement.
My father Rubio, worked there for many years in maintainence and he never said a word about anything( again, he would never say anything to scare us). Yet he never wore a rosary around his neck or start attending church until he started working there.I had my second child there 28 years ago and the only thing I remember is the elevator opening and closing and at times taking you to the wrong floor.
Where is the hospital located at?

In 1957, my mother was hospitalized there for a short period. I was 6 years old at the time. I recall that many people also referred to Southwestern General Hospital as Hotel Dieu. When my mother was there, the main elevator had an operator who asked "what floor please" and he sat on a small stool near the control panel. A flexible metal grate had to be closed before the elevator would move. I recall with clarity how it was interesting to watch the floors go by as the elevator went up and down. There were numbers painted on each floor so you could read them as they passed by. Unlike in modern times where elevators are very precise and stop within a fraction of an inch (perhaps 1/16th of an inch) of the same level of the floor they go to, in the "old days" at Southwestern General Hospital, the elevator operator had to guess when to stop the elevator in order to get it fairly level with the floor. I recall on any number of occasions when the operator would miss the floor by as much as a foot, and would have to ease the elevator up or down a few times to get more accurate prior to allowing a passenger to disembark. Obviously with the metal grate, no one could exit the elevator until the operator was ready to open it and let them pass.
I stayed there myself in 1962 when I had to have my tonsils removed. I recall being in a room on the third floor. Just as I was about to undergo surgery, I recall a nurse placing a mask on my face and I was told to breath deeply. The mask had ether and back then, ether was used to make a person fall off into a deep sleep prior to surgery. Ether was not nearly as effective as the substances they use these days. When the mask was immediately placed on my face, the ether had a peculiar smell and I remember dreaming about cigars.
Once out of surgery, I stayed in my room on the 3rd floor overlooking the front of the hospital into this incredible courtyard. Back then, there was a circular drive and steep stairs leading up to the main lobby in the hospital. The courtyard had magnificent Cottonwood trees and they grew up to and a past the height of the third floor. I recall hearing how wonderful they sounded when a gentle wind blew through the trees, making the leafs rustle. The shade the trees cast on the ground made for a great escape from the blistering El Paso sun, and in the late afternoons, the entire hospital would be bathed in a shadow from Mount Franklin, because the hospital was on the east side of the mountain and as the sun set in the west, the afternoons were very pleasant there at Southwestern General Hospital. I was discharged after a few days and I would next return as a patient in 1965 after I had a motorcycle accident in the desert area near Scottsdale Elementary School where I was a student on the far east side of El Paso off of McRae Blvd.
I never recalled any odd or "ghostly" events on the three times I stayed in the hospital, but if indeed a nurse died in the elevator, I can tell you it might have been because part of her clothing may have been caught in the opening of that elevator at the front. I believe in the very old days, that elevator might not have had the flexible metal grate in front of it and there certainly wasn't an elevator operator many, many decades ago when the building first opened. More than likely, the nurse probably entered the elevator, pressed the button to go to another floor, and she was distracted while standing too close to the opening and her skirt got caught in the opening and became lodged on something as the elevator was going up. What a terrible way to die. I can only imagine the poor woman being forced to the floor as the powerful motor of the elevator propelled the elevator up.
I believe when I was a patient here, the kitchen where meals were prepared for patients was down in the basement and the laundry was located here also. I don't recall anything like a cafeteria on any floor where people gathered to eat and meals were consumed in the patients rooms.
I do not believe that at any time there were furnaces located in the basement for the purpose of "burning" bodies of tuberculosis patients. For hundreds of years, bodies of anyone who died in a hospital were handled by mortuaries and a certified crematory off-site would have been used, if the family of the deceased did not want an actual burial.
