FAQsFrequently asked questions about your product
Will my steam/dry iron stick to fabric when spray starch is used while ironing?
No. The steam/dry iron will not stick to the fabric when ironing with starch.  Selecting the correct temperature will prevent fabric from sticking to the iron.
Where can I order parts for my product?
You can order parts and accessories for your machine from our Parts & Accessories Department at 1-800-833-9626.
What is the recommended voltage for this steam/dry iron?
The recommended voltage for this steam/dry iron is 120V.
Water spotting occurs when I am using the "Jet of Steam" function on this steam/dry iron. How can I fix this issue?
The "Jet of Steam" function only operates properly when using the High temperature setting. Water spotting will occur in lower settings
because the steam/dry iron is not hot enough to change the water to steam. To prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate after jetting steam, allow approximately 5 seconds of interval time before re-pumping steam.
The steam/dry iron is emitting a white powdery substance while ironing, especially when using the Jet of Steam function. How can I fix this issue?
The powder or particles are impurities and minerals found in water. These particles can be brushed off  the clothing or fabric.
Sometimes my clothes become discolored or marked after they have been ironed. How can I fix this issue?
Set the temperature correctly according to the fabric being ironed. If there is cleaning residue on the fabric, the clothes may become brown after being ironed.
Is it necessary to use distilled water in my steam/dry iron?
Using regular water may cause build up of calcium or lime in the iron's steam vents. We suggest using distilled water to prevent this build up from occurring.
I can no longer power on this steam/dry iron. How can I fix this issue?
Check to make sure that the power cord is securely inserted into the wall outlet. If it is connected properly, try another power outlet.
How can I use the spray function on this steam/dry iron?
The spray feature is useful mainly when trying to remove stubborn wrinkles and where extra dampening is needed. This function may be used for steam or dry ironing. To use the spray function simply press the "Spray Mist" button whenever spray is desired. If spray does not come out immediately, keep pressing until it comes. To get a finer spray, press the button vigorously and to get a more powerful spray, press the button more slowly.
How can I register for the warranty of my product?
You may register your products online by clicking here. It is not necessary to submit this form in order to effectuate the limited warranty. As long as there is a copy of the receipt, your product warranty begins from the date of purchase.
Can I use this steam/dry iron to vertically steam my garment?
Yes. Hang the garment on a clothes hanger to get the best results when vertically steaming. Curtains and drapes may also be steamed once they are hung. Hold the iron close to the fabric then hold the fabric tightly with your free hand and pump the Vertical Steam button (Jet of Steam button) at 5 second intervals as you pass the iron over the wrinkled fabric.

Preparations were well under way Monday in Barbour County Monday to ensure emergency teams and citizens are prepared for anything Hurricane Sandy could spin in this direction.
Local officials from a number of agencies gathered Sunday for a planning meeting, reviewing everything from water tanks and potential power outages to student safety at Alderson-Broaddus College.
"We have 600 students on the campus of A-B College, and our concern is power and the health and safety of the citizens," said Phil Hart, Barbour County Commission president and fire chief of Belington Volunteer Fire Department.
The city of Belington, Belington Fire Department and Belington Emergency Services also met Monday to discuss the storm and an action plan.
"They're all working together to accommodate the citizens of Belington," Hart said. "It's going to be some adverse weather conditions. We just encourage people to use caution."
Shelters have been prepared throughout the county, but which shelters will be used and how many will depend upon the need and character of the storm. Hart said there are four shelters that could be opened.
Hart added community members will be contacted and emergency responders will be sent into the community to alert citizens as to what shelters are open.
"We encourage neighbors to check on neighbors and family to check on family, especially if there's a power outage or heavy snow," he said.
"Don't hesitate to call 911 in an emergency," Hart added.
Everyone should have a 72-hour preparation kit in the event of a prolonged power outage, he said. The kit should include water, batteries, nonperishable food and working smoke detectors, because many households may be using candles and other sources of heat. Those who have special medical needs should make sure they have at least a 72-hour supply of oxygen and prescription medication.
Hart urged citizens to follow manufacturer recommendations for safety with any devices they use. Generators should be placed away from houses to prevent the release of carbon monoxide inside the structure.
Citizens can make sure their cellphone batteries are fully charged and use battery-operated radios for continued updates during a power outage.

2-year-old drowns in LeFlore County creek
Toddler swept away by creek current
Authorities say a toddler boy drowned Sunday after wandering into a creek in LeFlore County.
Undersheriff Kendall Morgan says the 2-year-old boy went missing from the family home near Howe shortly before noon on Sunday. Morgan says the child's mother reported him missing after she noticed he'd disappeared.
Morgan says LeFlore County authorities discovered the child's body about 400 to 500 yards away from the home. Authorities say the boy apparently drowned in a creek that was about 4 feet deep.
Police found the boy and took him by ambulance to the hospital where he was pronounced dead
Morgan said that the drowning is being ruled as accidental.

Michael Campbell, a Buffalo native and University at Buffalo graduate, was the helicopter pilot who safely landed a charter tourist helicopter in the Hudson River in New York City about noon Sunday, saving himself and four Swedish vacationers.
Campbell deployed pontoons when the chopper lost power near 79th Street, near the New York City Marina. The helicopter had a hard landing but it did not sink.
The accident happened close to where United Flight 1549 emergency landed after a bird strike four years ago.
According to the New York Fire Department, the charter took off from the Wall Street Heliport and lost power about 12 minutes into the flight. A Fire Department official said Campbell "did a terrific job, considering he'd lost his engine power."
A boat crew brought Campbell and his passengers – two adults and two children – to shore.
The tourists were all taken to the hospital for observation after the incident. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the helicopter is registered to New York Helicopter, which charges $139 per person for a 15-minute flight and $295 per person for a 25-minute flight.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident.

Approval given to replace Duffields train stop with a new station
February 1, 2013
RANSON — The city of Ranson has received approval from the West Virginia Department of Transportation State Rail Authority to replace the existing train stop at Duffields with a new station at......
signoftimes - Well apparently, more folks think my reasoning is sound, rather than buffoonery. Take your pseudointellectual name calling back to the prep-school playground. The naysayers want to complain about lack of growth, lack of jobs, lack of this or that, but when it comes time to pony up and plan for the future to protect or increase the area's potential, they are the first to whine about cost, favoritism, or anything else to get in the way.

It's a great idea. We need a new train station to take all the carpetbagger Councilmen from Charles Town back to New York, NC and Iowa. Paeonessa, Slover and Bringetott all need to get off Council. They have bankrupted Charles Town and this station would be their platform to leave.

Before West Virginia decides to spend any money on a new train station they need to enter into a long term committment for train service. How can there be money for a new train station when there was no money to help out the current commuters who pay an $80 per month surcharge just for West Virginia service? Why not contribute to the train service, get rid of the surcharge, and enter into a long term committment for rail service first before building a train station that might be a ghost station in the future.

Nice design. Problem though. No plans for funding. 10 years from now they'll still be taking about building a new station near Bardane.

i find it hard to agree with any money (tax dollars) being used at a location of limited ridership. For 30 or so commuters a day? live with what we have especially with OUR debt.

As for helping low income families, it's unlikely you'll get new low income housing because the engineering standards and subdivision ordinances make it economically difficult for a developer to build an affordable subdivision at that price point. It might help some families living in existing low income housing, such as Fox Glen. And if the Pan Tran ran between the more densely populated parts of Ranson to/from the station in conjunction with the train schedule, it could work for them too. But to get more people to use the train, you've ultimately got to have a more commuter friendly schedule and that's limited by CSX and its cargo transporation needs.

My guess is the location is probably across the street from Tackley Mills, the subdivision that promised to offer fiber optic internet, work, play, and shops close to home, before the project went under. It'd be interesting to know what's up with the bond money for that project. Also interesting, there's a published map of Jefferson County that has a proposed train station by the Coast Guard. And the Harvest Hills subdivision plan showed the Duffields Station moving down closer to the second phase of the subdivision. It's interesting that the plan would get approval now before the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee comes up with its recommendations for the 2014 Comprehensive Plan. Jefferson Orchards is probably currently zoned rural-agricultural. It probably would help support the businesses in the Bardane Industrial Park.

I think the reasoning behind this is ridiculous. They say that it's to help commuters in that area. What about commuters in the area that have been using Duffields? If you want to build a new station at the proposed site, fine. Just don't close the Duffields station. I have to agree with harlequin and BDogbaskets above.

Maybe it is the GARCAR and he at first misunderstood, thinking it was a train station containing a miniture train giving rides to all the kiddies. weeeee
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The current station is in an ideal location because it is convenient to both Shepherdstown and Charles Town. Also, the reasoning for the new station is flawed:
1) They want lower income families living on site? Wait. If they are commuting to Washington D.C., they wouldn't qualify as lower income in West Virginia. If anything, it should be intended as a lifestyle center that offers the convenience of condo life near mass transit for young professionals. 2) I'm sorry, but Duffields does not add to congestion in the area. Since it is centrally located, the traffic moves in four directions - towards Charles Town, Martinsburg, Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry. Never have I ever had to wait more than a minute to get out of the lot. As for it being near the schools: The last train departs from Duffields at 6:41am, well before classes start. The first train (or bus) to arrive in the evening arrives at 5:25pm, well AFTER classes let out. They should improve the existing station.

I say, how the heck did Ranson come into the conversation? That town has acted like a Sooner in the middle of a land grab for long enough. Would it seem odd if Shepherdstown wanted to annex Duffields? What about Charles Town? Who else thinks Ranson is like a Napoleonic kid yearning for respect?

It's needed because there are already a ton of commuters clogging up the roads (and air) every morning and afternoon. It's needed because growth of the area is about the only method used to judge it's economic and societal potential. It's needed because as available commercial real estate dwindles, "reverse commuters" and local folks could actually get OFF the train in Jeff Co in the future.

So, we're going to spend all of this money to build this infrastructure for a rail line that at any minute can be pulled by the Maryland Train Authority because it is a huge money drain?!?
Hasn't this line already been on the chopping block several times in the last 5 years?

Free parking--how novel. Duffields, Harpers Ferry, Brunswick, Point of Rocks all have free parking for MARC commuters. Not Martinsburg--and even when we pay for a space at the train station, we don't always have access because of people parking there without permits. And why not park without a permit--the fine is only $2--cheap parking and people know it and ignore the permit only signs. Making the fine for parking without a permit something like $25 would solve the problem.

I first saw a plan for a new train station at Jefferson Orchards about 8-10 years ago. I think it was noted on some Rte 9 expanison drawings. It should be noted to it is as isolated distance-wise from Charles Town/Ranson as Duffields but would be adjacent to 4-lane Rte 9 (a big plus). It would however lack the current stations history.
FYI: The original, and still standing, Duffields Station is about a football field distance east of the current station and was the second purpose built train station in the United States. The first being in Ellicott City, MD (B&O).

Elvis Thacker, who faces murder charges, was found mentally competent to stand trial, according to Leflore County Clerk's office. His preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 15 at 9am.
Elvis and Jonathen Thacker are accused of murdering a Fort Smith woman, Breanna Ault, in 2010.
A Leflore County judge decided in September that any further court proceedings be put on hold until Elvis Thacker receives a mental evaluation.
The two brothers have already been convicted of rape, kidnapping and attempted murder of an Arkansas police officer.

Thursday, April 18, 2013
Dear Editor,
Usually Mr. Brooks Moore confines his many, many public commentaries to issues where his experience as an educator could have some semblance of logic and relevance. Sadly, in his recent rant on the Second Amendment he merely parrots the usual Democratic talking points/positions on the current gun control dialogue. Democrats seem hell bent on usurping the individual constitutional freedoms of US citizens by imposing more strident Government legislation over citizens who might legally choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights. All on the premise that we need to do something, indeed pass anything about guns to curb the recent occurrences of violence upon innocents by mentally ill persons. Wrong!
Mr. Moore lacks much in depth knowledge of modern weapons by his use of the terms "assault weapons and magazine clips". Among gun enthusiasts there is really no such thing as an "assault weapon" unless you want to classify almost all of the legal to own semiautomatic loading rifles as such. The "assault weapons" term was reportedly created by the gun control zealots such as Senator Dianne Feinstein. The term "clips" refers to a holder for multiple cartridges that can then be inserted into a weapon as a unit such as stripper, en bloc or moon clips. The often mentioned "high capacity" magazines are those used in modern semi-automatic loading rifles. These are more correctly known as "ammunition magazines" and have a practical limit of say twenty to thirty rounds.
Mr. Moore asks, "Why does anyone need to have an assault weapon with a magazine clip holding 100 rounds?" The answer for Mr. Moore is that if they want to own these items, have the financial resources to purchase them, then it is entirely legal and appropriate for them to do so. It is also entirely inappropriate for Mr. Moore or anyone else to appoint himself to be the "official nanny" or decider of what type of legal firearm another citizen may choose to bear and deploy in defense of himself, his family, property and our country.
Mr. Moore would blame everything on the National Rifle Association (NRA) or Republicans when his real issue is with that dreadful Second Amendment among our original Bill of Rights. If the NRA's and the Republican party's defense of the Second Amendment is so disturbing to Mr. Moore, a cursory review of his teacher notes from high school US Government class would quickly reassure him that there is indeed a long, difficult and orderly process outlined there in Article V of the US Constitution for amending the Constitution, should a compelling need arise to do so. So follow it! It is purposely long, difficult and orderly because we enjoy a constitutional republic not a democracy. In our country we do not govern or legislate by conducting extemporaneous polls in the midst of an emotional tragedy caused by mentally ill persons imposing violence upon innocents.
More guns do not equal more violence or crime. In fact just the contrary is true! One only needs to review the crime/murder statistics of every oppressive gun control state or city such as New York, NY; Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA to discover that the "reasonable gun controls" Democrats usually advocate produce just the opposite results, that is, more murders, more assaults and more property crimes.
Want to reduce violence? Deny mentally ill persons access to firearms! Prosecute and incarcerate felons who attempt to purchase or use firearms in their crimes! Enforce the current thousands of gun laws already on the books!
But deny a legal US citizen their Second Amendment rights? Never!

After years of decline, glaciers in Norway are again growing, reports the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE). The actual magnitude of the growth, which appears to have begun over the last two years, has not yet been quantified, says NVE Senior Engineer Hallgeir Elvehøy.
The flow rate of many glaciers has also declined. Glacier flow ultimately acts to reduce accumulation, as the ice moves to lower, warmer elevations.
The original trend had been fairly rapid decline since the year 2000.
The developments were originally reported by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).
DailyTech has previously reported on the growth in Alaskan glaciers, reversing a 250-year trend of loss. Some glaciers in Canada, California, and New Zealand are also growing, as the result of both colder temperatures and increased snowfall.
Ed Josberger, a glaciologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, says the growth is "a bit of an anomaly", but not to be unexpected.
Despite the recent growth, most glaciers in the nation are still smaller than they were in 1982. However, Elvehøy says that the glaciers were even smaller during the 'Medieval Warm Period' of the Viking Era, prior to around the year 1350.
Not all Norwegian glaciers appear to be affected, most notably those in the Jotenheimen region of Southern Norway.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A marijuana advocacy group hopes to build on momentum from ballot votes in Colorado and Washington with new efforts to remove criminal penalties for marijuana use.
Two state representatives from Maine and Rhode Island are joining the Marijuana Policy Project on a teleconference Thursday to discuss bills that are being introduced in their states. Similar proposals are expected in at least two other states, Vermont and Massachusetts.
Robert Capecchi from the Marijuana Policy Project says the ballot initiatives approved in Washington and Colorado demonstrate that the nation has reached a "tipping point" favoring decriminalization.
Rhode Island is already decriminalizing the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana effective April 1. The new proposal would take it a step further by removing all criminal penalties for adult marijuana use.

The ballroom heated up on Monday night's Latin-themed Dancing with the Stars.
Seven weeks into the competition, almost all of the remaining couples came up with impressive routines. But it was Alexandra Raisman and Mark Ballas who landed their first 10s of the season, with a salsa that Len Goodman – who gave the pair a nine – called, "tasty and refreshing."
The pair got 10s from the other two judges, which put them at a total of 29 points out of 30. They also received an additional three points for winning a dance-off against Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess.
Raisman and Ballas tied with regular high-scoring duo, Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler, who wowed judges with their samba to Ricky Martin's "Shake Your Bon Bon."
But at the end of the night, even though Pickler and Hough were in a tie, they were the ones declared free from Tuesday night's elimination because they had the highest cumulative score of the season.
Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff and Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy also tied with 27 points each. Jones and Smirnoff performed a salsa that Goodman called "first rate," while Zendaya and Chmerkovskiy executed an impressive paso doble, though judge Carrie Ann Inaba said it was "missing was a little bit of the depth."
The two couples teamed up against each other in the dance off, with Zendaya and Chmerkovskiy scoring the three extra points for their jive.
Sean Lowe, who struggled in the bottom two last week, bounced back this week, performing a sexy rumba with partner Peta Murgatroyd to Enrique Iglesias's "Hero." The pair earned 24 points on his fiancé Catherine Giudici's birthday.
"Well, well, well, Sean, who's the 'Hero' now?" Inaba said. "That was just wonderful."
At the bottom of the leader board were Ingo Rademacher and Dick. The General Hospital star scored 22 points for a rumba with partner Kym Johnson that was panned for lack of good hip movement. Meanwhile, Dick earned just 17 points for his rumba, which, according to the scores, had even less hip action.
But Rademacher and Johnson won a dance-off against Murgatroyd and Lowe, landing three extra points for their rumba.
Results will be announced Tuesday!

SALEM - The shale boom will explode the Ohio economy by adding $10 billion to it by 2014, Linda Woggon, executive vice president of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and executive directory of the Ohio Shale Coalition, said.
She was the keynote speaker at a breakfast hosted by the Salem Area Chamber Area of Commerce before about 70 guests at the Salem Community Center on Wednesday.
Her talk was based upon an Ohio Shale Coalition study released last February and combined with recent Utica shale data.
The added $10 billion will mean a one-percent increase in the Gross State Product, she said.
Based on 2011 through 2014 numbers, total activity, including leases, right of ways, royalties, roads and bridges, drilling and related downstream figures show the total spent in Ohio at $291,581,483 in 2011; $1.7 billion in 2012; $5.83 billion in 2013; and $9.65 billion in 2014.
Total shale activity during the four years amounts to just under $17.5 billion and will generate some 65,000 jobs statewide.
"We'll have some growth issues," she said, "if we work together we can do this and do well ... it's exciting."
Woggon said the study shows why shale energy is being called a "game changer" for Ohio's economy .
"So when people say this is a game changer the numbers seem to support it," she said while noting that by 2014 there will be an additional $500 million in state and local taxes with no increases to taxpayers.
"That's a significant amount of new taxes," she said.
Increases and projected tax collections are $16,522,865 in 2011; $73,422,148 in 2012; $271,539,607 in 2013; and $433,528,922 for 2014.
This relates to local, direct spending activity for construction of drill pads, wells and related infrastructure that increased to 29.7 percent from 2011 and will jump to 38 percent next year to 41.4 percent by 2014.
Woggon said Ohio is poised to become "one of the largest oil and gas producers in the world" with the potential to become energy self-sufficient while opening itself to exports.
As of late August, there were 359 horizontal drilling permits issued with 129 wells drilled and 27 producing.
There are 41 drilling rigs currently in the state. Chesapeake Exploration is the biggest player with well over one million acres (about five percent of Ohio's land area) under lease and currently Carroll and Columbiana counties lead in permit and drilling activity followed by Jefferson County.
"This is just the very beginning," Woggon said.
Larry Kosiba, executive director of the Salem Area Sustainable Opportunity Development Center, asked how local businesses can become more engaged.
"We're fighting an uphill battle," Kosiba said, explaining most of the attention winds up going to the three "Cs," Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati.
"How do we get you to help us, to let companies known we're here?" he asked.
Woggon said they can "get with you" and form a committee but pointed out that on OhioShaleEnergy.com there are supply chain opportunities for commerce.
"It's a website for any company to put their data in," she said adding it even has a GPS component.
"There's a lot of information in there for vendors to put in their services."
Salem businessman George Morris III asked if there was enough water "to do all this?"
Woggon said, "One thing Ohio has always had is water ... it's the numbers ... they sound like a big numbers" but she explained you have to consider the rate of replenishment.
"One of the great things about Ohio is that we do have the water to do things."
Mark A. Matusick, manager of corporate development for Chesapeake Energy, said, "Natural gas production is one of the most efficient uses of water."
City Councilman Dave Nestic asked if the price of natural gas was taken into account in the projections and the direction and Woggon said the prices were down and the estimates were "conservative" and added, "if it goes up we'll certainly see more robust activity."
Matusick said Chesapeake was learning more about the geology every day ... the amount of liquids and the timing ... the ability to response quickly.
Legislation helps producers plan, but as far as what direction they move "geology leads," he said, adding, "just the drilling alone ... you're talking about decades ... but the thing to do is educate yourself on supply opportunities."

My life as an AYAD volunteer began full of excitement, a heart filled with passion for nursing. I had ambitions to share my knowledge, experience and empower those less fortunate. My experiences as a critical care nurse, educator and midwife gave me a good grounding for unpredictability. In hindsight it was total naivety. I had no idea what was to come.
I worked in 9 Mile Clinic near Port Moresby. Daily treating sick children, distributing TB drugs, heath surveillance, malaria treatment and managing antenatal women filled my days to overflowing.
Until volunteering, my exposure to HIV/AIDS was limited, the learning curve was steep and hard.
I implemented a voluntary counselling and testing program and began to educate and register clients. The results were shocking. HIV/AIDS had begun to take over the community. Nothing prepared me for the impact of HIV/AIDS.
I spent a lot of time with women, educating, assisting, and supporting them. They came to me in pregnancy and we tested for HIV/AIDS. I sat with them, and listened to their stories, I took their blood, I received their results from the lab, I told them of their HIV status and feeling their despair when some were reported positive. Every week our clinic had a new suspected diagnosis.
We did not have the facilities for inpatients, or supporting all our positive clients in the community. A HIV support group commenced, but we were unable to distribute antiretroviral medication. We strongly advocated positive living, and community support.
My first HIV positive client was a 17 year old sex worker. She was a very sick person. Her family rejected her. The community was afraid of her, she was too ill to work, had no means of feeding or supporting herself. The clinic helped her until she was beyond our care. I drove her to the hospital, she did not have a single visitor. She died there. A young girl, a victim of circumstances and HIV/AIDS. She was only a child.
On returning home from my time as a volunteer with our nearest neighbours I have a greater level of tolerance, acceptance, and absolute appreciation of my own good fortune.

How and Why to Report a Post
So, I've been to the ER twelve times in about two months. Half of those were for self-inflicted injuries. And eight times were in the same ER. The first five were for sutures/surgical glue from SI injuries. The next two were while I was in-patient (IP) for SI and had a kidney stone attack. Then, about a week after I got out of IP, I used a tennis ball in a sock to give myself believable back pain that I claimed was from another stone. Then, I used a hammer to give myself a monster headache. This backfired into a week long minor headache. I milked it for three more ER visits, claiming the headache was incredibly painful. One of those ER visits led to admission to the medical ward of another hospital for a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
Of the eight visits to ER "X" the same doctor has treated me six times. He told me the last three times, "I'm starting to feel like I'm your regular doctor." And on the visit I had this past Friday, the same doctor was on duty, but didn't treat me. I have this feeling that he recognized my name on the paperwork and "passed me off" to the doctor who treated me.
Most people have heard of Münchausen by proxy , where someone makes a person in their care (a child, an elderly person) sick in order to gather attention and sympathy for themselves as the caregiver. I know I can't self-diagnose myself with anything, and that sometimes a little medical knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this. I don't plan to tell my therapist (or especially my psychiatrist!) about any of this. And I'm not looking for anyone to coddle me or tell me to knock it off. I just want to know that I'm not alone in these feelings. And, if anyone else went through this, how did you deal with it?
Anyways, its late, and I need to get some sleep. Thanks for reading.
I have heard of Munchausen. I think those of us who SH have a touch of this. It's a cry for help. It's a way to show what we are feeling. There are many reasons behind this.
Do you have a Primary Doc? This many hospitalizations I am concerned as to why you are so easily being dismissed. This is not acceptable.
You really must come clean with your T and Psych. They are not there to coddle you. They can help you deal with this. Please, please, please be honest and open with them. That is what they are there for... to help you figure things out.
I hope this morning see's you well rested and energized and motivated to seek out help.
In Harmony,
In Harmony,
Your not alone. Here is how it started with me and my rationalization of it.
My mother felt that sympathy was a sick emotion so she never gave us kids any.
If we got hurt and ran up to her crying she would say "are you bleeding?"
"N-no" we would sob
"then stop crying" she would reply and icily turn away.
(so, eventually I injured and then felt I could cry becasue I was then bleeding)
Emotional abuse and neglect can open that door in you.
I was sexual abused from a young age till I was 17. Walking around in that much pain and having NO ONE NOTICE or do anything or offer comfort, open that door in you of NEEDING to be SEEN and rescued/comforted.
Children need that connection of safety and compassion. When we don't get it it creates a void within us.
I maybe 46, but at times I am that small child who NEEDS TO BE SEEN, NEEDS TO BE RESCUED, NEEDS TO BE OFFERED GENUINE COMPASSION.
I have used my Self Inflicted Violence (SIV) to get attention. I have used it to get people to respond with compassion and concern.
My soul ate it up like it was a nutrient that was I was lacking in.
No one told me to stop my behaviors. I choose at some point in my healing journey that I would take responsibility. I worked off and on for many years to come to a set of rules within my system to help me understand and limit the acting out for attention aspect of my SIV.
My T said to me once, "We need to get you off graveyard shift and get you reconnected with your people."
He was more right then he knew.
Once i did become more connected with "my people" the urges diminished.
When you feel invisible it can be excruciatingly painful. You can't ask to be seen for this pain cause no one else can see it. So SIV then rationalizes the pain and moves it to the surface so others CAN see it and CAN offer support.
Creating injuries/wounds etc is in a way of asking for help, but the surface wound is treated, not the deeper inner wound.
You can repeat the cycle endlessly and not get what you are seeking.
I keep my selves accountable now days so I don't wander down that path as often. I have learned to feel okay about saying HEY SEE ME I NEED CONNECTION/SUPPORT/COMFORT.
Plus I have learned that if I get urges to do an attention injury, that I don't keep mum about it, I speak up and nark on myself to my support people. Speaking the urge aloud take the craving out of it.
Welcome to the board CJ, so glad you found us.
Peace be the journey
The hospital I went to for the SI injuries (that got sutures/staples) is a little ER in my podunk little town. They basically just patch you up and send you off. When I went in for the "stones," it was believable, because I've had stones before and I was tender to the touch of the doctor (cuz I had beaten myself with the tennis ball/sock combo). The same with the headaches. I convinced the doctors that I was in a lot of pain. And for a while, I was. After I got the spinal tap, I got the usual Post Lumbar Puncture headache. I convinced my mom because I've never been one to like to get injections or have blood drawn. And I even cried when the doctor said he was going to have to do an LP.
You really must come clean with your T and Psych. They are not there to coddle you. They can help you deal with this. Please, please, please be honest and open with them. That is what they are there for... to help you figure things out
I *do* have a GP. I saw him on Tuesday. He couldn't find any reason for my headaches. I didn't tell him I had done it to myself. He knows I SI. He's taken stitches out twice, and staples out once. All within three or four weeks. :-S I really like my GP. He's an awesome grandfatherly fellow who really listens and explains things in layperson's terms.
I have come clean with my T and Pdoc about my re-start of SI. I had started as a teenager and managed to stop in my mid-twenties. Then, out of the blue, I started up again. And it seems like this relapse is even worse than the original time.
If we got hurt and ran up to her crying she would say "are you bleeding?"
"N-no" we would sob
"then stop crying" she would reply and icily turn away.
(so, eventually I injured and then felt I could cry becasue I was then bleeding)
My dad was kinda like that. Some of his favorite things to say were, "You wanna cry? I'll give you something to cry about!" and "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it!" So I kinda stopped crying. Nothing ever came of it but ridicule and dismissal. I also have a temper, as does my dad. We would get into fist fights all the time. Police never did anything about it. When I was in high school, he almost broke my finger. I told a teacher, and CPS came to the school to interview me. I told them it was a one-time thing. I was afraid they would take me away from my mom and my home.
Creating injuries/wounds etc is in a way of asking for help, but the surface wound is treated, not the deeper inner wound.
I've never really used SI as a way of getting attention. I hide it and make up (believeable) excuses as to why I have a bandage. I've told the doctors/nurses at the hospital(s) that the wounds are SI, but only because I don't see them anywhere but when I'm in there.
Plus I have learned that if I get urges to do an attention injury, that I don't keep mum about it, I speak up and nark on myself to my support people. Speaking the urge aloud take the craving out of it.
I won't narc on myself, because I don't want to go back IP. And if I *did* narc on myself, I'd probably be put back IP. I just *can't* go back. I'm finally VERY close to getting a job (in public safety). If I were to be put back IP (again) it would greatly jeopardize my chances of getting the job I want.
I talk to my T about the SI. It still scares me to do so. Thats one reason why I sought out this board. Some place I could confess, without being ratted out to the people who could "put me away." It is kind of cathartic to fess up about stuff. And anonymity is nice, too.
You say this all came out of the blue for you.... are you talking with your T about how you are feeling and all that's going on, even if you leave out the actual details of the SI? From reading here all these years, SI usually indicates some underlying issues. (((softhugs)))
~Christopher Robin to Pooh
I still dont know how to ask for this without feeling worthless or getting the feeling I will be rejected. It happened not that long ago, I sat there an cried, the person I was with just sat there. Later they said I should have to asked for what I wanted. To me it was just human nature to hold the person or hug them while they crying, no more words needed to said. I dont I have the courage to ask anymore, I cant take that rejection again from anyone.
I have been talking to my T about the things that are bothering me. The stress of working on my ED, trying to get a job, my mum deciding it was a good idea to move in with me (then she reconsidered), being the victim of a 'romance scammer' ... Just a lot of stuff. *sigh*
My T already knows that I restarted SI. And he asks me every visit if I've done anything. I don't like lying, but its something I will do if it comes down to it. Self-preservation.
I agree with BB and encourage you to follow her words of wisdom. Please, please, please...
If you still choose not to go... Please go to your local pharmacy and get supplies to clean your wounds, antibiodic cream like Bacetracin, you can also get butterfly sutures then gauze wrap and tape...
And Monday make an appointment with someone.
In Harmony,
I was supposed to see my T on Monday, but something came up and he's not available, so we re-scheduled for Thursday. I've had passing thoughts of going to the county hospital (where they have a psych ER) to talk to someone when this kind of thing happens, but I'm too afraid. I don't want them to put me on a hold (again).
I can't call a crisis line either, as I have no home phone and I live in a bit of a dead zone for cell phone reception. I try to journal it out, but that doesn't always work. I'm trying to avoid running to the corner liquor store and getting drunk off my @$$ as well. I could, legally, and I know better than to drink and drive. But with the meds I take, its not a good idea to have alcohol of any kind, especially in excess.
I woke up mega early (for me) this morning. I don't have to be up till 10:30a, but I woke up at 6:55. >__< And I couldn't get back to sleep. Insomnia has really been haunting me the past few days. I wish it would go away! Ugh.
I think I'm going to go sit in my cozy chair with the cat and see if I can't grab another hour or so of rest, if not actual sleep.
I'm glad you took care of your wounds. I do hope you will consider the County Hospital if you feel you need to. When you arrive make it clear you do not need to be put on hold, that you are in crisis and just need someone to help you through it. A feeling does not mean it has or will become an action.
As for your local ER doc, is there no one else on duty like a PA, Nurse Practioner, Resident Doc, that you can ask to see?
When you meet with your T on Thursday I hope you bring up the fact that your access to services is an issue you need help addressing. If you can not wait for your appointment on Thursday and end up in an ER, make it clear you need the help of a social worker/case manager! You may also try calling your State Health Care Obudsmen... Do not give up. It's a long, difficult struggle getting what you need, but you are worth it.
In Harmony,
Please you may need furhter help with these wounds. Now would the er doc that you don't want to see be there?
I think each of us knows deep down what we need to do for ourselves sometimes to take action to get the help we need.
If you really don't know write back and we can give you more guidance. bb
... As for your local ER doc, is there no one else on duty like a PA, Nurse Practioner, Resident Doc, that you can ask to see?
... If you can not wait for your appointment on Thursday and end up in an ER, make it clear you need the help of a social worker/case manager! ...
I'm pretty good with first aid. I have my Red Cross Training. I know when stitches are needed. I just don't always get them.
I've not seen more than one doc on duty (except the one time when I went for my headache/dehydration), aside from a couple med students. And they are supervised by the main docs. I guess I could ask for a female doctor. That would prevent Dr. X from being my treating doctor.
And the little podunk ER close to my home has no mental health practitioners. At all. And, the last time I went to (a different) ER that has mental health practitioners, they put me on a hold. And I felt degraded because they made me strip to my skivvies and posted guards at my door, like I was some kind of convict.
The last time I went to the County (medical) ER, they had this really creepy psychiatrist talk to me. He just looked like ... like a sex offender. *shudders*
Please follow thru and get the help you need. I don' tknow what time it is where you are but even you can get help tonight. There is no such thing that you can't get help any hour of the day or night!
Please you may need furhter help with these wounds. Now would the er doc that you don't want to see be there?
The doctor that I've seen on so many visits works the overnight shift. And, my sleep schedule is so screwy, that I'm awake most in the middle of the night. Like, now its almost 2a, and I'm wide awake. I have the worst time sleeping at night, and therefore staying awake during the day. If I went to the ER during the day, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't run into the same doc, as I'm fairly sure he doesn't work a 24-hour shift. But, unless the 'owies' show signs of infection, I'm not likely to go to the ER. And its not like its anywhere likely to get infected. And I'm really careful.
I know it sounds crazy to rationalize not seeking medical help. But I know when I need to seek help. I know what infection looks like, and I don't have any of the signs. I never have. *knock wood*
I have rationalized not getting help as well... You are not alone on this...
Please take care of you... Okay?

Withdrawal plan attacked
May 1, 2013
In a sometimes unruly public hearing Tuesday night on a company's plan to withdrawal almost 2 million gallons of water a week from the Lycoming Creek watershed in Old Lycoming Township, residents......
Just once, I wish I could take from the common good for my own benefit. I wish I could take air from others and sell it to the highest bidder. Or- I wish I could take the sun from the sky and charge the farmers for it. Or chop down the people's forests to maximize my drilling profit or wind turbine space. I really wish I could take water from the common aquifer and sell it to my own benefit, but I simply do not have the capital. Someday I will figure out how to be a real capitalist where the value of a public resource is diverted to my accounts. They make it look so simple! I should have gone to business school.

Montoursville sells water to the industry. I wonder how much water is with drawn. A lot of trucks at the park a few years back, also down by the little plaza.

Talking about selling water, the Senate has a new Bill called the "Water Infrastructure Finance Innovation Act of 2013"
The Federal Government will SUBSIDIZED loans to companies that sell water to the oil and gas industry.
They will use public dollars to finance water projects that benefit the oil and gas industry.
The federal government should not use our tax dollars to subsidize water sales to either industry.

I believe you will find a straight truck hauls around 3,000 gal, and a semi 5,000 gallons. Dividing 2M gal by 406 trucks a week comes to just under 5,000 gal averaqe per truck.

Maybe we should start bottling our water for resale.?.? With all of the profits we raise-- perhaps we will have a fighting chance against our city's elite! Or better yet, how about we furnish our future contanimated water to those who stand to make considerable profits at our expense!?!? Just a thought.

Out west in Colorado and North Dakota their underground water supplies are dropping at an alarming rate because of fracturing. But hey who needs water, we got the Natural Gas Industry here, this will boil down to Politics and Money and not the people of that area.

58 trucks a day I believe adds up to much more than 2 million gallons a week. Correct me if I am wrong. I also believe and earlier article had more water withdraw totals.

Interesting that Supervisor Hall speaks against the proposed plan....she has land leased to the 'gassers' and her property has the appearance of a cheap truck stop....Talk about beauty..!!! Not to mention the income she gets from this industry. And as for Supervisor Eck....this won't be the first time he should recuse himself from a vote due to family $$$ ties to OLT projects...You don't need to be in Philadelphia to be corrupt..it's closer than you think!....Wonder why OLT can't find better people to represent them?

This is really sad, fighting over water. I hope the residents win their fight, I won't hold my breath, but I hope they do. I see the lawyers are all lined up, I wonder who has the most money? Good luck.

Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Just when you think you've seen it all in processed food—remember when ad execs thought blue French fries and green ketchup would appeal to kids?—comes another mind-boggler. I refer, of course, to…. caffeinated Cracker Jacks.
World, meet Cracker Jack'd.
Now, really. If you're so exhausted you must ingest caffeine via candy, just lie down and tap yourself in the head with a hammer until you faint. Same result, and you save two bucks. You're welcome!
But I digress. Frito-Lay is trying to reinvent the wheel, which in this case is 105 years old and still yummy. But here's the rub: Young people don't eat Cracker Jacks because they aren't "relevant," which translates to: Nobody under 40 is familiar with Take Me Out to the Ballgame: "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks/I don't care if I ever get back." (There are numerous versions on YouTube, including performances by Harry Caray and Barney. Yes. Barney.)
Kids today "want more intense flavors and a wider variety of textures," a Frito-Lay spokesman said. Well, if sweet, crunchy caramel popcorn plus candied peanuts don't do it for you, fine. Come back in 30 years and nostalgia will taste pretty darn good.
All of this is sounding way more fuddy-duddy than I actually am. I drink smart water with antioxidants and eat coconut-infused almonds. I'm hip to new food. But I do think if you're going to fool with a successful formula, maybe you should first talk to the people who came up with New Coke. They might have some wisdom to impart.
I have nothing against progress. Without it we wouldn't have Tofurkey or jalapeno chocolate bars. But I didn't see this one coming. It feels like the first time I walked into a gas station and saw chicken-and-waffles potato chips. Yes, chips made to taste like chicken and waffles. Then again British shops have sold lamb-flavored chips ("crisps") forever, so maybe we're just behind the times.
Back to Cracker Jack'd, which will come in three different varieties. The Hearty Mix flavors come in PB & Chocolate and Berry Yogurt, because who doesn't want their candied popcorn to taste like thick, tart yogurt?
There's also Buffalo Ranch, Spicy Pizzeria and Sweet 'n Savory Clusters, which is a salted caramel flavor. (I don't eat salt or caramel and cannot comprehend why this combo is so wildly popular.)
Then there are the Power Bites Cracker Jack'd. A box contains about two tablespoons of ground coffee. Like a stalking horse in politics, the Frito-Lay folks are using it to gauge the interest of a niche, coffee-drinker market. (Next up, a new Starbucks flavor!)
Cracker Jack'd, sadly, won't come with any prizes. I think they should put an iPod Shuffle in, say, every 95th box. They'd fly off the shelves.
But wait—there is a glimmer of hope for Cracker Jacks traditionalists. The original brand isn't being totally left behind, but it is being revamped. (Insert groan here.)
Market research showed that folks who do eat Cracker Jacks want more peanuts, and they're getting 'em. Plus, the prize inside will now be… wait for it… more relevant! Because nothing is worse than digging through a box full of deliciousness only to find a tiny hologram photo of Johnny Depp from 21 Jump Street.
So, new Cracker Jack prizes will have digital codes that can be used to unlock "nostalgic" games like baseball and pinball on the Cracker Jack app for Android.
What's next, a golden ticket in a chocolate bar? Oh, wait…

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Fr. Wulfstan Clough, O.S.B. came to Saint Vincent Archabbey in 1990. He made first vows in 1991 and began teaching part time in the English department in 1992. He became a full time member of the department in 1996.
Fr. Wulfstan enjoys the small class sizes at Saint Vincent because the interaction allows for the Benedictine charism of hospitality to be exhibited in the relationships between the faculty and students. "This is the kind of place where students may stop by my office just to say hello, or where our classes often take on a more informal atmosphere. I love it when students raise challenging questions in class and present new ideas."
It should not come as a surprise that Fr. Wulfstan loves to read. His favorite subjects are mythology, folklore and legend, and fantasy. He teaches classes in Classical Greek Poetry and Drama, Science Fiction, and the works of J. R. R. Tolkien (who is his favorite writer).
"He's been my favorite writer ever since I first read The Lord of the Rings some time in the early 70s. He has a powerful imagination, an ingenious ability to synthesize from different traditions. He was a very devout Catholic as well as a scholar of early Germanic language and literature—just like me, in fact; if I had had a chance to meet him, we would have had a lot to talk about."

Easy to wash, soft and cozy Review by Barbara
Price Value Quality
I bought this to protect Baby's crib. It's the softest bed liner that I've ever used. No vinyl means no toxic fumes. I love how it stays soft even though it's been washed several times. (Posted on 1/1/11)
Great product Review by Eco Mom
Quality Price Value
Great product. I use one in the crib and one in my bed for milk leaking and one to change the baby on. I have had many accidents happen when changing her and all is contained and cleans up well. The material is very soft for both of us to use against our skin. Highly recommended. (Posted on 7/8/12)
So Glad We Bought These Review by El
Quality Price Value
We rely on these mattress pads every night in our family bed. They've saved me from needing to wash our sheets every moment. We bought two so that one can be in the wash. Our baby sleeps on the mattress pad with a receiving blanket on top (more breathable and less hot than the mattress pad alone). It has protected our mattress from leaky diapers, spit-up and breast milk. We have also used this mattress pad for "naked time" during the day. A great product - easy to care for and very practical. I also use the changing pads made of the same materials. (Posted on 10/1/12)
A Must Have Review by Cortney
Price Value Quality
These are a life saver. I started with just one because I wanted something that was soft but water resistant on one side for laying baby on so I didn't have to change sheets every time she spit up. I quickly ended up buying another because I realized they are also great for ME to sleep on if I wanted to go nursing bra/padless. Even my husband thinks that these are a must have and we have started buying them as our "go to" baby gift.
I should add that I even used them recently with my toddler when he had the flu. A real life saver! If I could afford it I would buy even more! (Posted on 8/25/11)
3 years old and still going strong Review by Shara
Price Value Quality
I bought this just before my now three year old was born- it's gone from a bassinet pad to travel change pad to potty training (great for putting on the couch when they're not quite there yet) and will shortly be used all over again for our second. The size is perfect for so many things and despite frequent use and many, many washings it's still never leaked.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
It's definitely not the cheapest waterproof pad you can find, but considering the many uses it can be put to and the quality of the product I'd highly recommend it. (Posted on 2/25/14)
Poor quality at a high price Review by Chelsea
Price Value Quality
I have used these pads for a couple months now, which were purchased after careful consideration and hours of research. My husband and I ordered them to use in our childs bed at night. We purchased two, and typically washed them every 1-2 days depending on our child's usage. They were washed in warm water in the washing machine and tumble dried on low.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Never
After a month I noticed that on one pad the waterproof layer had seemed to become stuck to itself in one area, causing a little ridge. I didn't sweat this too much although I was a bit surprised. Fast forward two more months to yesterday when my husband suggested that we purchase a few more. Since it's a lot of money for the type of product, I decided to wait until the morning and just make sure the ones i have we're still in good shape.
I'm glad that I did because I just noticed the inside layer of the pads are piling, and have formed quarter sized clumps in between the top and bottom layer! One of the main reasons I purchased these in the first place is that I wanted something cozy for my little one. There is no way that would be comfortable to sleep on. I'm very disappointed as I thought that I was paying for quality by purchasing these.
A message from the bynature.ca family: Thank you for taking the time to review your recent Mattress Pad purchase. I'm sorry to hear you've had a poor experience with them, particularly as you've only had them for 2 months. We have parents that have been using these for years, and have not found the same issues you're experiencing, so this is really strange. Rest assured, you have purchased a quality product. We're extremely confident that our manufacturer will deem this a warranty issue, which comes up once in a blue moon, and we're happy to ensure a satisfactory resolution so you can enjoy your mattress pads again. Thanks for your patience! (Posted on 6/24/13)

The Republican hand-wringing has begun.
Every GOP and conservative pundit worth the elephant pin on their lapel seems to have a reason for why Mitt Romney lost. The candidate ran a bad campaign, some say. Others say he was too conservative, while even more say he wasn't conservative enough. Others even called out Mother Nature, blaming Hurricane Sandy for halting Romney's march to the presidency. Not just a few have mumbled under their breath that Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie helped the Democrats win by praising President Obama's leadership in the days after the storm. And some are even predicting that the defeat marks the end of the Bush era and opens the way for a return to the Reagan era, without Reagan of course.
What is shockingly missing from many of these post-mortems is an honest admission that arrogance, both on the part of the candidate and his campaign, was a major cause of Romney's defeat. And nowhere was this more on display than on election night when the American public and the newly re-elected president were kept waiting by a candidate who hadn't even bothered to prepare a concession speech. Not only was there no speech, the Romney campaign was so sure of victory that they had planned a fireworks display over Boston Harbor. Like a canceled Fourth of July, the fireworks stayed mute.
Concession speeches have often been a losing candidate's finest hour. Once Romney appeared onstage, reportedly "shell-shocked" by the loss, he instead gave a short, routine speech, ending it by saying he wished the president well and that he would pray for him. Missing was the generosity evident in 2008 when Sen. John McCain spoke about the history that was made with Obama's election as the first African American president of the United States.
The Romney campaign's arrogance led to much more than a non-concession concession speech. It was the basis for serious miscalculations in the month leading up to the election. For reasons which remain unknown and still stun many political analysts, the campaign insisted that their own private polling, which showed Romney with a lead, was better than all the non-partisan polling which showed Obama ahead. They also discounted the power of the Democrats well-known and highly-respected Get Out the Vote "ground game," reportedly downplaying the idea that Democrats could register more voters in the crucial swing states. Democrats did, however, and these voters came out and voted, some standing in line for hours in Ohio and Florida, the most crucial of the crucial battleground states. The Romney campaign seemed to take an "our way or the highway" approach. Unfortunately for them, the majority of Americans took the Democrats' expressway.
The lack of a concession speech was also more than just about common courtesy. It also showed just how much the Republicans were out of touch with Americans' basic belief and faith in President Obama, despite the economic hardships. The Associated Press has reported that according to exit polls, a majority of voters said the economy was the main issue on their minds, but about half of them felt that the problems related to it were the responsibility of former President George W. Bush, not President Obama.
These exit polls vindicated the Democrats' argument that the American public both understood the depth of the economic problems that Obama inherited and gave him credit for the herculean effort it would take to right the ship. More important, these polls revealed that his struggles over the past four years resonated with middle and lower income voters, who in many ways could see their struggles in him. This connection was crucial to Obama's re-election and couldn't be severed, no matter how hard the GOP tried. In the end, Americans simply refused to turn their backs on the president, believing that he had tried as hard as he could during the first four years of his term and deserved to be re-elected to finish the job.
Like all presidential campaigns, there was more than one reason why Romney lost. What is more shocking is how their arrogance led them to be so unprepared to lose. And when they did, they didn't even know what to say. The Republicans' biggest winner on election night was hubris.
As for President Obama, his victory speech in Chicago brought down the house.

Students from LA's Baldwin Park High School Once Again Compete in National Financial Capability Challenge
Baldwin Park Students Finished in the Top 20 Percent during the 2011 Challenge
Contact: PCGCampbell Kyle Reuter (310) 224-4957
IRWINDALE, Calif. (March 12, 2012) – After posting excellent results in 2011, Baldwin Park High School will once again compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge, March 12 through April 13, 2012. The Challenge, produced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and U.S. Department of Education, educates high school students on the ABCs of personal finance.
"All (Baldwin Park High School) business students took the challenge last year and passed with flying colors," says Craig Peacock, Baldwin Park High School teacher and Virtual Enterprise coordinator. "Their success comes from the motivation of a high quality business education at Baldwin Park High School and the support of the SCE FCU Foundation."
SCE FCU partners with schools and community organizations to bring financial literacy to the public, and the credit union foundation will conduct more than 100 financial literacy workshops and courses in 2012. Abigail Ulm, Manager of Services for the SCE FCU Foundation says, "Our financial education program continues to grow and we're planning to expand the program this year."
"It is my educated opinion that financial literacy is as vital as reading, writing, science and math when it comes to preparing young people for the real world," says Peacock.
In 2011, 52 public schools in California competed in the competition and posted scores below the national average, which can be attributed to California high school students not being required to take a financial literacy course in order to graduate.
Baldwin Park High School, which offers a financial literacy program with the help of SCE FCU's Foundation, had 10 students finish in the Challenge's top 20 percent nationally in 2011.
"Through the SCE FCU Foundation, teenagers are forming healthy money management skills," says SCE FCU CEO Dennis Huber. "In 2011, we were able to help nearly 4,000 individuals with financial educational programs. Our foundation is an extension of the credit union movement – people helping people."
Last year, SCE FCU partnered with Boyle Heights Technology Center and Watts Youth Opportunity Movement, two non-profits running a special youth workforce program for 14-21 year olds, to educate them on smart money management skills. More than 140 participants opened a special savings and checking account, which SCE FCU designed with safeguards to avoid overdraft fees as students learn to use their account.
SCE Federal Credit Union was founded in 1952 and currently has nearly 50,000 members, $560 million in assets, several Southern California and Nevada branch locations, thousands of shared branch locations across the United States and more than 28,000 surcharge-free ATMs available to members. SCE FCU serves all of Southern California, Henderson and Clark Counties in Nevada, with membership open to individuals and businesses. SCE FCU is a not-for-profit entity committed to improving the financial well-being of the communities it serves, especially those underserved by mainstream financial institutions. With a strong commitment to volunteerism, employees donate hundreds of hours to local community causes each year. Additionally, the creation of the SCE FCU Foundation provides much-needed financial education to the underserved in Nevada and Southern California at high schools in Duarte, Baldwin Park, Ontario and Lynwood, Calif.

text: New fishing licenses go on sale each year on Dec. 1. While that is no great revelation, Pennsylvania anglers will now have the option to purchase multi-year fishing licenses rather than an annual license. Because I've bought a Pennsylvania fishing license every year since I turned 16, I was interested to learn that three-year and five-year fishing licenses would be available when I saw an announcement about them several weeks ago on the Fish and Boat Commission website. At that time, no pricing information was provided, but I assumed one of the new multi-year licenses would represent a worthwhile savings compared to buying three or five annual licenses. When the Fish and Boat Commission finally posted the multi-year prices last week, however, any saving appeared meager at best.

Well James R, I guess I don't see any Sasha hate going on - just alot of people being realistic. Her jump technique was not good and that was often her undoing! And like I said before, when she fell it was like she just sat down on the landing. But I don't think she's by any means the standard by which other US ladies are measured. At least I hope not! Just winning a medal doesn't make you the paragon of the sport! I would still hazard a guess that Michelle is the standard due to the many medals she won. And before you say something about an Olympic medal (and Michelle did have two) one of the greatest skaters of ALL TIME (in my opinion) is Kurt Browning. And he never won a gold medal at the Olympics and was a role model for many to come after him.
I would tend to agree with you that the Japanese have perhaps a stronger work ethic and maybe a tougher row to hoe. Who knows. Why is Canada generally very strong in mens figure skating and the ladies tend to not be so strong? Alot of ladies with potential who never quite realize it. One of those topics that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm............
I could be wrong but I don't remember a LOT of instances of her "just sitting down" on the landing. There was the Worlds where she sabotaged herself by going running for a long time the day before the FS. I think her legs collapsed on that one. A lot of the time I remember her failing to rotate to complete the jump or having her skates collide on the landing. Yep, probably a bad technique, which was quite a shame considering what would have been possible if she'd had a good technique. We never really know what goes on behind the scenes and that's what's a bit maddening about seeing great skaters fail. Do they just need a better coach / jump coach, or perhaps a better coach for them? Ashley seems to be doing a lot better under Nicks. What does Gracie Gold need to start landing the jumps she's capable of? Is she really getting the coaching she needs to hack it in Sochi?
Sasha started doing really well under Tarasova, but quit that partnership really quickly. That may have been her worst mistake, in retrospect.

It's been one full Olympic cycle since Sasha, so saying "no US lady has won an Olympic medal since Sasha" makes it seem like the difference between Boitano's OGM and Lysacek's OGM (which was actually 22 years) when it's not, it's 6 seasons right now. The US ladies have this Worlds and a whole season to get it together and potentially make the World and Olympic podium...

Sasha was lucky to compete in a weak era. She wouldn't be anywhere near the podium circa 2007-2010, even at her best. Sasha is flexible, so she can do some beautiful spins and spirals (not necessarily earning the most points) but that is the extend of her ability. The rest of her skating is second-tier and third-tier.
Worlds 2005
Sasha Cohen (silver) 214.39
Worlds 2006
Sasha Cohen (bronze) 208.88
Olympics 2010
Mao Asada (silver) 205.50
Worlds 2010
Mao Asada (gold) 197.58
I have no interest in conversing with you further. If you keep posting obvious lies to slander Sasha unfairly, I'll just start reporting the posts.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken - aren't Cohen's scores from 2005 and 2006 Worlds higher because of the QR? So the SP + FS score is actually lower in that case.
Anyway, we're off on a major tangent, so back to Miss Gold...
Probably more accurate compare SP and LP only.
Sasha SP: 66.73 (OLY 2006)
Sasha SP: 66.62 (Worlds 2006)
Sasha FS: 116.63 (OLY 2006)
Sasha FS: 114.67 (Worlds 2006)
Mao SP: 73.78 (OLY 2010)
Mao SP: 68.08 (Worlds 2010)
Mao FS: 131.72 (OLY 2010)
Mao FS: 129.50 (Worlds 2010)
Yes we're on a tangent, but I figured I close the loop.
Sasha 183.36 (OLY 2006)
Sasha 181.29 (Worlds 2006)
Mao 205.50 (OLY 2010)
Mao 197.58 (Worlds 2010)
Although, I agree that she was not a second-rate skater. She had unique abilities that she did particularly beautifully and which unfortunately do not translate into points under CoP (as someone else pointed out.)
This thread is SUPPOSED to be about Gracie Gold.
Sasha Cohen has retired from figure skating and is currently attending NYU in New York City; she has no intentions of returning to competitive skating.
I posted about Gracie in the 4CC thread but people were more interested in arguing for 40 pages about Mao Asada's rotations. Page after page after page of it ... I wasn't sure if I should post 4CC stuff about Gracie here since they would be spoilers for those who haven't seen 4CC yet.
Well, to put the thread on topic...
For Gracie, what I'm most worried about is her ability to manage her nerves. It's obvious she doesn't have that innate ability a la Michelle, Tara or even Rachael Flatt for a while there. They were able to focus in high pressure situations and deliver strong performances when it mattered.
When Gracie gets nervous, she goes blank in the face. You can see she's thinking herself through everything. She rushes her take offs which leads to falls and doubles. If she is to be the next star in the US, she's going to have to learn to manage those nerves. With her abilities, people will be looking at her as a medal threat if not gold medal favorite; she has to learn to deal with the pressure...assuming she can. It's not a skill everyone can master. If she can't get a grip on her nerves she will be relegated to headcase status and that would be unfortunate. So many of our immensely talented skaters bear this stigma.
Gracie has time (of course) but I'm less concerned with what she can do in the next four years of her skating; I'm looking more at the next few weeks.

This serene Shakyamuni Buddha sits in the traditional meditation pose, holding the mudra (hand gesture) of meditation. Cast from a mixture of pulverized volcanic ash and a cement-like material, this Buddha is perfect for both indoor altars and outdoor gardens. A thin sheet of rubberized material lightly covers the bottom of the statue to protect surfaces when placed indoors.
Made in Indonesia. 6 3/4" w x 8" h x 5 3/4" d. 5 1/2 lbs.
