Waikiki established its reputation as a getaway when the Moana Surfrider opened its doors in 1901. Today, more than 30,000 hotel rooms are packed in the skyscrapers along the golden sands of Waikiki Beach. At the end of Waikiki, Diamond Head towers as an enduring landmark. West of Waikiki, Pearl Harbor offers a somber testament to history and the victims of World War II.

As soon as we got there we found out parking was an issue. The service for the valet parking was poor and they had no parking onsite. The room check in was quick but she wasn't very friendly. She could have told us about the elevator system there. You had to use your room key to access the elevators which only gave you access to your floor and back […] to the 3rd floor. Don't know why you couldn't get access to the first floor. The complimentary breakfast was ok but not worth the $20 resort fee they charge everyday for it. I would not recommend this hotel.

"Good location but a bit run down"
The location was really good and this hotel was a bit cheaper than the others in the area. After staying there for one night, we now know why. The swimming pool is tiny and crowded. The rooms are a bit dated and fixtures are rusty. The worst was that sound really travels around the rooms. At night, we heard this sound like someone was thumping on our […] balcony door and then rattling the lock to try to get it. It really freaked me out. As repeatedly checking that there was no one outside, we figured it may be due to the way the sound travels when other people open/close their balcony doors. It really sounds like someone is trying to get into our room though and this happened all through the night and day. I'm glad we only stayed there for one night. The rest of our time in Waikiki we stayed at the Hilton Resort Village, way nicer, worth the little bit of extra cost. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

"Hotel of choice-Aston"
I read all the reviews before we left and I have to say, I will definitely be going back to this hotel. People complained about the elevators and we didnt have one problem waiting for them or operating them. The room was awesome(king-view) and the bed was comfortable. The location is walking distance from any place on the strip (10 mins). The Tiki Bar […] was great and the food as well. You will find out alot of people that come to the bar are not even staying at the hotel and come because of the happy hour, food, or music. There is a $18 amentiy fee everyday and thats basically for the breakfast that they provide, but its covers beach chairs that you can take with you on your daily excursions. The hotel does charge $27 a day for valet-I dont not reccomend this. You can use the Aston bayan hotel parking down the street for $15. I however found parking around the block by the school or apartments and did not pay a dime, its free. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

"Opposite the beach"
Sister and I stayed at this hotel for 7 nights. Its not luxury but it is clean, comfortable and convenient with the beach being right across the road. There are a couple tour desks operating at the hotel which makes booking activities very easy. The Ala Moana pink trolley bus stops right outside and other trolley stops are located nearby. The hotel […] is located near the Honolulu Zoo. Diamond Head is clearly visible from some rooms on Floor 25. There is no shortage of eating establishments nor cocktails on offer on Kalakaua Avenue or generally around Hawaii it seems. Most major tours pick-up at the hotel. There are local bus stops close by. There is much to see and do on Oahu and the islands in general - 7 days was not long enough. I would revisit and stay at the same hotel. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Breakfast Is Not On the Beach"
Valet entrance was backed up. When we finally got in, valet gave ticket numbers to other guests despite me having arrive first. I had to ask for one. Front desk needs to refine how they speak to guests. I had questions at check in and to my ears he sounded annoyed saying, "I'll go over all that at the end." I would recommend smiling and saying instead, […] "I would be more than happy to answer all your questions. Let me get you set up with your room keys, all the paperwork and go over everything with you." The lobby entrance was unimpressive; literally right next to the pool! The room was small and cramp. The bathroom door didn't lock and no ventilation in the bathroom. The pictures online showed a hotel right on the beach and it advertised "breakfast on the beach." Instead, you pack up a little tote bag with daily carb/junk food daily breakfast. Also right next to the front desk lobby/pool/breakfast patio. Trays of all types of donuts, muffins, miso soup, yogurt, some fruit, juices, and coffee. If you wanted something hot like waffles or eggs, then you had to pay extra. Felt like we were being nickeled and dimed for everything! Valet was about $30/day and mandatory Daily Hotel amenities was $18+ taxes/day. Included daily breakfast, room safe, daily newspaper, unlimited video games, free movie rentals, & wifi. Should have stayed at Hyatt Regency again. You get what you pay for.

"Great location, but......."
The Aston Waikiki Beach is a nice hotel. Right on the beach, great restaurant, etc. But the facilities need updated. They obviously have redone the elevators recently (microchip in room key activates a panel, you tell it what floor you want, and it assigns you an elevator to take you to your floor) but the rooms left something to be desired. For the […] cost of the room (we stayed in an OceanView Select Room), we were expecting something a little better. The bathroom was outdated and you could see the patch in the wall where they replaced the old air conditioning unit with a new one. The only good thing about the room was the view. Then there was the amenities fee. At least that made up our mind for us where we were eating breakfast every morning! Part of that fee covers an optional "Breakfast On the Beach" where you take your little bag down to the pool deck and can load it up with whatever you want out of their meager selection of yogurts, breads, doughnuts, and mediocre fruit for "free" (remember, you're paying extra for this already) and pay more if you want eggs or waffles and that kind of food. Then you can take your bag and go wherever you like whether it be across to the beach, up to your room, or anywhere else you might want to go. They do have complementary beach towel and beach chair rentals as long as you return them by 7PM. Overall it's a decent hotel, but it needs to update the rooms badly.

"Good location, nice environment, too many people.."
Nice Hotel, in a very nice location, but unorganized at the check in process. We came in an hour early, and after a 45 minute wait, we checked in but were asked to return after 3:00 for our room key. At our returned at 3:20 pm found at least 60 people in line, in a very crowded and hot lobby. We only needed our key, but were told to go to the back of […] the line and wait through the process. IT WAS CRAZY! There were at least another 13-14 parties waiting for the key only, but had to wait our turn in line. After 30 minutes wait in the uncomfortable heat, couldn't wait no longer, and many people got really angry... we had to ask for the manager and complained, finally a nice gentleman in the back office gave us our keys, which took about 3 minutes per party. Hotel management could prevent a lot of complains, and angry people, if they would anticipate this situation, and prepare for the crowd. After hours in airports and airplanes, we tourist can't wait to get to our cozy, calm and cool rooms for a bit of rest. You have a nice hotel, but I would think it twice to come back and suffer this situation. Breakfast is pretty poor, maybe you can improve a little bit. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

Generally, my stay was good, as expected. I was especially pleased that all the independent tours I purchased scheduled pickups right in front of the hotel. The included hotel breakfast was good. The exercise room is really tiny, but adequate, I suppose, for a vacation. But on our last day, after I had the day before asked the hotel reception staffer […] to wake us up at 5 am, no call arrived! Luckily I awoke on my own at 5:20 am and we were able to barely pack and check out in time for a prepaid 6 am pickup to see Pearl Harbor. I lost my itemized tour book in the process, and had to reconstruct our plans for the rest of our vacation. The attendant had told me that her phone line out was "busy" and that she would schedule my wake up call as soon as it was free. Apparently, she forgot.

"Lovely hotel in a fantastic location"
We had a lovely stay at the Aston from Jul 30 - Aug 5, 2013. The staff were friendly, warm, relaxed, and helpful, and the rooms were lovely. We found the concierge/bell service to be very professional and responsive. The breakfast at the pool in the morning was a real highlight, and the hula dancer and singers were a treat. Tiki's restaurant (on site […] but not affiliated with the hotel) had very good food in a lovely atmosphere, with a patio overlooking the beach. The atmosphere of the hotel was lively and upbeat. One thing people may not know is that the beaches across the street had a couple of great options - a quiet, calm beach with a breakwater, excellent for young children and for floating on inflatable devices, and a second beach just to the left of the wall that was fantastic for bodysurfing, bodyboarding, and much to our surprise, excellent for snorkelling. In fact, there were dozens of beautiful fish to be seen just 20-30 feet into the water from the shore, and in the morning, during low tide, the water is crystal clear. Because of the beach options, proximity to restaurants, coffee shops, the Aquarium, the Zoo, and so on, the location was outstanding, and we would definitely stay there again next time we're in Waikiki.

Bringing Grand Rapids and Detroit together (video)
By Mark Brush
Michigan Radio's Lindsey Smith hopped on a bus with community leaders from the Grand Rapids area this past Wednesday.
Their destination was Detroit. And their goal for the trip was "to build stronger bonds between Michigan's two major population centers."
They left in the wee hours of the morning and arrived back in Grand Rapids around 2:30 a.m.
The trip organizers put this video together:

Benjamin M. Siar Jr., on behalf of Gundel Funeral Home, submitted three requests for cremation to the county coroner's office on Jan. 16.
Coroner Dr. Stephen G. Diamantoni, whose office is required to authorize all cremations, said his deputy flagged all three.
One request was for the cremation of M. Elizabeth Zug, 97, who died Dec. 26. The three-week delay in submitting the request, along with inconsistencies on the death certificate, raised questions, the coroner said.
In reviewing the other two, which also contained inconsistent information, Diamantoni telephoned a crematory in York County, where the cremations were to be carried out.
He was "sufficiently disturbed" to discover the cremations had already been completed.
"Mr. Siar told them he had obtained verbal authorization (to have the bodies cremated)," Diamantoni said. "We don't do verbal authorizations. Ever."
He called Siar's actions "a very serious violation," noting that, by law, every cremation must be approved by the coroner's office.
On Jan. 17, Diamantoni contacted the Pennsylvania Department of State, which includes the state Board of Funeral Directors, regarding "administrative irregularities" on the part of Siar and Gundel Funeral Home.
Ron Ruman, spokesman for the state Department of State, said Monday that by law he could not confirm or deny if Gundel Funeral Home and its owner are being investigated.
"I can say that, generally speaking, if we receive credible information we take it very seriously," Ruman said. "If we received information about issues of this sort, they would've been thoroughly investigated."
Ruman also said that in the event of law-enforcement involvement, state officials typically await the outcome of the criminal case before making their own determination.
Police arrested Siar, 41, on Friday after investigators found four decomposing bodies in the basement of the funeral home on Main Street in Conestoga.
Law-enforcement officials began an investigation after receiving complaints from family members who hadn't received cremated remains.
Officials said Siar was paid by the families to cremate the remains, but never did. He was charged with four counts each of abuse of a corpse and theft by deception and remains in Lancaster County Prison after failing to post $250,000 bail.
Diamantoni said he experienced no problems with Siar or the funeral home until recently.
He said he's "disappointed" that Siar chose to involve the coroner's office in the situation.
Prior to his arrest, Siar acknowledged to a reporter that he had a "backlog" of bodies to be cremated but blamed the coroner's office for refusing to sign off on the requests.
Siar said he tried repeatedly to get the coroner to authorize the requests but couldn't get a response.
"It's unfortunate that any individual would make untrue allegations against this office," Diamantoni said. "It would appear he's a desperate man."
Specifically addressing Siar's claim as it relates to the remains found in the funeral home last week, Diamantoni said his office received cremation requests for two of the bodies — Zug and Rosa E. Kleinhaus, 76, who died Dec. 20.
The paperwork for Kleinhaus was received Dec. 21 and approved the same day, he said.
The request for Zug had been delayed pending further investigation.
Diamantoni said he never received cremation requests for the bodies of Ranasia A.R. Knight, 2, who died Jan. 12, and Sandra J. Hotchkiss, 71, who died Jan. 21.

The thing about children with dyslexia is even though they may have perfect hearing and perfect vision, they aren't always able to process the information that is given visually or auditory. Each child differs, so you may not always know what isn't getting through. The best approach is to use all five senses, if possible, to teach students with dyslexia. And really, it's better for all children to learn this way, so it's good for all students.
At the beginning of the lesson, briefly go over what the lesson will cover in small, easy-to-digest chunks. This will help alleviate the feeling of being overwhelmed felt by those with dyslexia. Just remember that dyslexic children have a hard time reading the board or an overhead. If possible, make an individual copy for each student, or at least the child with dyslexia.
When you do write on the board, use a different color of marker or chalk for each point. This will help your dyslexic students distinguish the different points instead of just seeing a chunk of text. Also, leave the information on the board for as long as possible, so the students have plenty of time to write the information down.
When you're evaluating a dyslexic student for information comprehension and retention, consider giving the student a verbal quiz on the information rather than written. This will decrease test anxiety and help the student to more likely be successful. The best thing you can do is help your students feel confident and intelligent.

Lily Tomlin and Pauley Perrette are spotted on the set of NCIS in Los Angeles last week (July 28). They could totally be mother and daughter!
Pauley tweeted the pic and said: "Was with the AMAZING LEGEND Lily Tomlin today. #LOVE"
According to Entertainment Weekly, in the annual Q Ratings of audience awareness, Pauley was just voted the most popular actor on primetime TV! A bunch of other NCIS stars made the list as well:
"Next up is Cote de Pablo, who plays Ziva on the CBS drama. No. 3 is Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory, No. 4 is NCIS lead Mark Harmon, No. 5 is David McCallum (Dr. Donald Mallard), and No. 7 is Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, aka Michael Weatherly."
Congrats Pauley!

Firefighters say it started in a detached carport in Millcreek, but quickly spread to both homes because of their close proximity.
At one point, there were 63 different fire units on scene, and more than 75 firefighters.
It took about 40 minutes to get the fire under control, and the cause is still under investigation.
Both families in the home were able to get out without any injuries, but are having to find alternate living arrangements this morning.
Donations can be made to the Draper Family Relief Fund at Mountain America Banks.

McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center
Project Details
McKenzie-Willamette Hospital/Community Health Systems' plans to construct a new 200-bed hospital and 100,000 SF medical office building in Eugene, Oregon, required extensive transportation planning and engineering. The Delta Ridge project demanded significant coordination efforts among public agencies, including the City of Eugene, Lane County, and ODOT, during an 18-month period to identify necessary infrastructure improvements in the immediate project area and at the Delta Highway-Beltline Highway interchange. Mackenzie provided extensive analysis and modeling, including ramp meter analysis of the roadway system to determine near and long-term project impacts.
Transportation services were required to support property annexation into the City of Eugene, a comprehensive plan amendment, and a zone change application. The scope of services included transportation impact analyses to address Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) requirements, to support a specific development application, and to identify transportation infrastructure for future construction. Services also included preparation of an air quality analysis and the subsequent provision of civil engineering services for design of transportation and roadway infrastructure.

In this morning's Michigan news headlines. . .
State of the State to address road funding
"Governor Rick Snyder plans to propose a more detailed plan to boost spending to maintain roads in next week's State of the State address. His previous calls for an additional $1.4 billion a year for roads and bridges stalled in the Legislature. Snyder in 2011 called for replacing the 19-cents-per-gallon tax on gasoline with a tax on the wholesale price of fuel. He also suggested a source of new revenue could be higher vehicle registration fees. Snyder says that he'll present new specifics in his Jan. 16 speech," the Associated Press reports.
Detroit top lawyer fired
"Detroit's top lawyer lost her job Tuesday. Mayor Dave Bing garnered enough Detroit City Council votes to remove corporation counsel Krystal Crittendon. Crittendon continually bucked Bing's wishes, and challenged Detroit's consent agreement with Lansing in court. Bing had tried to have Crittendon removed before. But he couldn't muster the necessary six votes from City Council. But this time, Bing got exactly six votes. Bing and state officials said Crittendon's legal challenges threatened to derail Detroit's efforts to regain its financial footing. This all comes as Detroit awaits a verdict from a state-appointed financial review team—expected as early as this week," Sarah Cwiek reports.
Young drivers banned from using phones
"Young and inexperienced motorists will be banned from using cell phones while driving under a bill Governor Rick Snyder signed into law Tuesday. Kelsey's Law is named after Kelsey Raffaele of Sault Ste. Marie, who was 17 when she died in a cell-phone-related automobile crash in 2010," the Detroit Free Press reports.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. — Parents love all their children, even the annoying ones, and the same holds true for birds. Some birds make their way in life by conniving against their trusting fellows. To us, this may seem mean-spirited. But in the Darwinian scheme of things, they have simply found a profitable economic niche.
Take the brown-headed cowbird, commonly found in backyards. It doesn't build a nest of its own. Instead, females watch for the unguarded nests of other species. When they find one, they zip in, lay their eggs, and fly away. The surrogate parents incubate all the eggs — their own and the cowbirds' — and feed all the nestlings when they hatch. Cowbird chicks grow faster than their nestmates do. Typically, they grab most of the food the parents bring, often leaving the "real" babies to starve.
Cowbird eggs have been found in the nests of some 220 species. At least 140 of these species raised the nestlings as their own. This trick is contributing to the demise of some threatened birds, such as the Kirtland warbler. Other birds fight back. Yellow warblers and blue-gray gnatcatchers will sacrifice their existing eggs and start again with a new nest. Robins, gray catbirds and brown thrashers will kick out the cowbird egg.
Cowbirds became parasites by necessity. They fed on insects that lived on and around buffalo, and had to follow the herds to survive. They had no time raise their own young, so they figured out a way to let other species do it for them. Enough birds are fooled for the cowbirds to thrive.
Blue jays, beautiful as they are, behave badly, too. They've been known to eat the eggs and nestlings of other birds. Given the chance, crows and starlings will do the same.
Cooper's hawks piggyback on bird enthusiasts who put up birdfeeders. They're forest dwellers that can make startling, rapid bursts of flight. A Cooper's hawk will find a perch from which it can watch a feeder without being seen. When the titmice and chickadees come for their breakfast, the hawk will suddenly swoop down for a breakfast of its own. You can bet there's a Cooper's hawk in the vicinity if the birds at your feeder suddenly vanish and silence reigns in your yard.
It's the age-old evolutionary story. Animals learn how to use the resources at hand, while expending the least amount of energy. Strong individuals live while the weak are weeded out. Species that adapt will survive, while the others, unfortunately, may perish. Cruel as it may seem at the individual level, you are watching nature trying to maintain a healthy balance.

Passengers on an Allegiant Airlines flight say they were stuck on the hot plane for hours with no air conditioning or water. One woman passed out and two others suffered medical problems after they were stuck on two different planes on a Las Vegas tarmac.
On a cell phone video, you can see a woman passed out in the aisle on the flight from Las Vegas to Phoenix. The passenger who took the video says they waited an hour and a half with no air conditioning and no water on the first aircraft. Then they were all placed onto another plane for two more hours with no air conditioning or water.
She says three people suffered medical problems.
"40 minutes turned into an hour. It was extremely hot. We were asking flight attendants what was going on with the air. Everyone was really concerned about the heat," said Francine Gutierrez.
"One of the passengers started getting a bloody nose from the heat so she rushed to the bathroom. Followed by her was another passenger that was starting to vomit," added Gutierrez. "A third passenger passed out in the middle of the aisle. Everyone was kind of frantic."
"The woman that passed out, we actually had to find water in our luggage, in our carryons, so everyone was scrambling through our purses to see if they had extra water bottles."
After nearly an hour and a half on the disabled plane, passengers then boarded a second Allegiant plane to Phoenix to find, yet again, no water, no A/C, and more sitting on the tarmac.
Gutierrez says that led to tears and anger from travelers.
"There were a lot of people yelling and expressing they wanted to be off the plane immediately," she said.
It wasn't until 3:45 p.m., says Gutierrez, that the flight finally left Las Vegas -- where the high on Saturday was 112.
"The pilots are constantly going through a maintenance checklist and an issue came up that they would not have boarded the airplane obviously if they were aware of this issue ahead of time, but when it did come to their attention, the safety of their passengers is their first priority," Allegiant Airlines spokesman Brian Davis said.
Allegiant says the air conditioning is connected to the engine and does not kick in while the plane is taxiing on the tarmac.
The airline is now offering vouchers worth $50 to $100 for passengers who were inconvenienced.
"As far as I'm concerned I would rather have my money back. I don't plan on flying Allegiant ever again because of that experience," said Gutierrez.
There has been no public apology from Allegiant's CEO.

Protection and comfort, in any order you choose - that is why a cyclist will wear cycling gloves. If you've ever fallen off a bike at speed, ridden for over 2 hours without a break, or headed out into cooler weather, then you will know the truth of this statement.

Road Cycling Gloves For road riders, cycling 'mitts' are where it is at. Comfortable and cool for long days on the bike, you'll feel the benefit post ride, and if you do decide to opt for a little tarmac skating, then your hands will still function afterwards. City & Trail cycling gloves For city cyclists and trail riders, the preference is normally for a full finger glove. Offering added protection and greater bike control, they will often sport welcome features like reflective piping, generous palm padding and some weather resistance. Choosing a bike glove - decisions, decisions As with the other items in your now growing cycle clothing collection, just spend a moment thinking about where and when you ride. Making a decision based on riding habits and local terrain is the best way to ensure you end up with the most suitable cycling glove. Less >>

Recipe by PDXemily
"I was inspired to create this dessert because I could not eat traditional ice cream from the grocery store due to a potato allergy. This recipe creates a fresh and sweet treat with minimal sugar allowing you to indulge in fruit and chocolate, the best of both worlds! Store the remaining ice cream in a container in your freezer for later enjoyment!"
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
2 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
6 fresh strawberries, diced
Pretty good. I tried this recipe with fresh chopped mint bc I had to cut back my mint. It's good, but it needs more mint in my opinion--I'd double the amount next time. Hubs also said he didn't really like the strawberries in it, so I'd leave those out next time. I also think it needs a bit of vanilla to perk it up, but it's a great starting point, and a perfect amount for a KA mixer, so no need to cut it down. Thanks for the recipe!

I'll give you a quick low down of my 'system'. I own a Rotel Ra-314 (vintage, I know) and with it two Wharfedale XP2 shelf speakers. Specs are as follows Rotel: Power output: 25 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Speaker load impedance: 4Ω to 16Ω Wharfedales: 6Ω @ 25 watts each It seems that one of the speakers has blown (don't think it's the amp) and I'm thinking about replacing the subwoofer. I just need you tell me if this would work, I was looking at a cheap woofer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QTX-HI-FI...d_Vision_Speakers_Monitor&hash=item53f35fad0d If I just replaced the current (blown) woofer with that would it work? My only speculation is that the watts are different so will it under power the speaker? I'd also like a louder system but I don't think this would be possible without buying a new amp. Could it be possible? Thanks
I would get an original replacement driver for the speaker. You need an identical one as the frequency response varies a lot between brands and models. Also it might affect the cross over if the load changes.
Swap the speakers around and you should know for sure then .. I had a Vintage Rotel amp 14 years ago ( yes it was vintage then too ) small thing it was that a friend said he don't know if it works or not and had been in his loft which was a true shame as it took some damage but for what the thing was only able to give 10w RMS per speaker even today is the best thing i ever heard which sadly died a few months later and no it was not due to fuses .. And as Frederik said better replace with the same..
while it may be hard to find an original at a decent price, I agree that's the best option. at the very least you should have an exact match for ohms & wattage. also as asrock said, troubleshoot before buying anything. switch the speakers around at the amp output and see if the "broken" speaker changes. i'm assuming it's just the horn and not the sub you hear, which would likely mean you are right in that the sub is blown. however best to be sure.
Replacing a blown speaker in the Wharfedale's seem's a bad idea when viewed from a bigger perspective as you need to consider you have to replace both speakers for it to sound right and that costing £50~ seems a bit too much.. You can find perfectly capable replacements for your old, broken speakers (that should sound better if you pick right!) off eBay for around that money. This way of thinking, along with Frederik's already well made points above, makes it a very logical way of doing things. Also, "QTX" (and the other brands that peddle the same crap) lie.... as in to say; 'their'* speakers don't do what they say they will. They do not reproduce the frequency range quoted, are less powerful by a fair amount (25%~) and considerably less sensitive than they would love to claim. There are a lot of companies offering the same speaker but, usually, under another product code or name.... dont be fooled by these things either... they are all the same, for the most part. *QTX parent company: www.avslgroup.com Where you'll find their range of speakers: www.avslgroup.com/en/search?qt=tree:173 Easy read: Buy new speakers, its more economical. Dont buy QTX; they're rather poor.

SOURCE International Bipolar Foundation
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With the increase in youth bullying, suicide and drug use, Girl Scouts are actively fighting to create change. Through a program to educate and reduce the stigma of mental illness, Girl Scouts can earn a newly released patch for playing a positive role in their communities.
Developed by International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF), whose mission includes erasing the stigma of mental illness through public education, the Mental Health Awareness Patch has been awarded to over 500 Girl Scouts nationwide. "Following completion of the patch, my daughter talked about this subject (mental illness and suicide) with me for the last two days. She is planning on doing something in this arena for her Gold Award!", declared one participant's mother. A troop leader in New York endorses the patch and says, "My Girl Scouts have spent the whole year working on (this) patch! (It) was such a huge success that I wanted to take it one level higher. For our service project, we will create a library for special needs children."
Interest is flourishing. "Our leaders are hungry for information related to ability awareness," states Jo Dee Jacob, CEO of Girl Scouts San Diego.
With approximately 1 in 4 people in the U.S. diagnosed with a mental illness, awareness of those impacted is also growing. Those affected are commonplace in our daily lives and may include a classmate with ADHD, an aunt with bipolar disorder or a father with depression.
"While mental illness is more prevalent than diabetes or cancer, unlike those diseases, mental illness carries a stigma that causes additional suffering and often is a barrier to treatment and support," states Muffy Walker, Board President of IBPF. One of the goals of the Mental Health Awareness Patch program is to educate and thereby eradicate the stigma.
The opportunity to learn about mental health is consistent with the Girl Scout organization's dedication to the health and well-being of all girls. In earning the patch, Girl Scouts:
The patch is available to all age groups and provided for free. For more information, email Ashley at email@example.com or call 858-764-2496.

Public Policy Forum Analyst Rob Henken talked to Bob Bach Friday, as part of our special Project Milwaukee: State of Upheaval broadcast at Cudahy's Irish Pub, inside the Pabst Theater.Henken discussed the direction he feels Wisconsin is headed in, after volatile year in state politics, which saw numerous changes in state law and policy.
As our Project Milwaukee: State of Upheaval series concludes, Bob Bach talks to a variety of people about where they think the state is headed, after the sweeping and divisive political changes Republican Gov. Scott Walker promoted this year.He spoke with Karen Royster of the left-leaning Institute for Wisconsin's Future. She finds flaws in the GOP legislation.
WUWM concludes our week-long series, Project Milwaukee: State of Upheaval Friday.Bob Bach talks with a variety of guests about where they think Wisconsin is headed, based on big policy changes made by GOP leaders in 2011.
In the finale of our series, Project Milwaukee: State of Upheaval, we are looking toward Wisconsin's future -- in light of the sweeping and divisive political changes Republican Gov. Scott Walker ushered through in 2011.Brett Healy, president of the conservative think tank the MacIver Institute, joined Bob Bach to offer his perspective.
Over the past week, our Project Milwaukee: State of Upheaval series has explored what the impact of the past year's contentious political happenings has had on Wisconsin. We've identified winners and losers of the political fight and explored what lies ahead for the Badger State.
But we have to wonder, did it all matter? So what, that the debates on collective bargaining, the role of unions, and the size of government made Wisconsin a national lightning rod? Would these conversations have happened eventually? What would Wisconsin look like if none of this had happened?
