How did you deal with Hair Loss?
January 20, 2006, 02:57:53 PM »
While this is primarily a cosmetic issue, for some people this is one of the most traumatic parts of chemo. Did you do anything to prepare for the loss of hair? How did you feel about losing your hair? What suggestions or words of encouragement do you have for others regarding this?

Its funny you ask that question Michelle. You would think losing your hair would be the last thing you think about when you have been diagnosed with cancer--so of course I have a story to tell--
I was basically diagnosed over the phone because my surgeon is in a different city than I--so the phone call came in--I answered the phone and my mom was there with me--so of course I put my doc on hold so she could get the other phone so we could listen at the same time--welp it didn't work--I even hung up on him accidently OOPS--anyway so he called back I answered and just said ok tell me then I will relay the info to my mom--so he said blah blah blah blah blah high grade Osteosarcoma--blah blah blah cancer blah blah blah--I really didn't know what he said it basically went right through me--but I was fine--smiled and said ok--do you mind repeating everything to my mom now--so she got on the phone and actually listened to what he said a lot of uh uh's and then she said so she needs to start CHEMO right away--his answer was yes--I heard CHEMO I started bawling--WHY--of course because I knew I was going to lose my hair---Fast forward to the first oncologists I met-(he was an ASS) I told him I didn't want to sit there for 2 hours and here about EVERY single side effect that I might have--I just want to learn about things as I need too--so he said being the smartass that he was--so you don't want me to tell you about a medicine that could help with some of the side effects---DUH---so I said (being the smart ass that I can be) CAN YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING TO KEEP MY HAIR!!!! he said NO--I said well right now your not helping me then! hehe the nurse came in to talk to me after that--because then I was crying again and after talking with him I thought I was going to die--she said did everything go ok with DR....... I said no he is an ASS--she said yea we have a hard time working with him too--so I got my doc that I have now and LOVE-----anyway
I CRIED at every THOUGHT of losing my hair!!!! But actually once it was gone I was glad it was gone!--I was so sick could barely move-was lucky if I could shower and if I would have had my long think curly tangly hair that would have been miserable! By the time it fell out I was already to sick to notice or care--Its funny because I look back on pictures that I have and I say WOW I really was bald--I didn't really think it--I knew I was but it never really sank in-not sure if that makes any sense!
NOW I can say I sure appreciate my hair so much now
Sorry for the story!!

After being told I was never going to walk again, my hair became a very secondary problem. I started noticing clumps of it falling out around the house and I asked my friend to take my to a walk in beauty shop and; just like that, had it shaved off. My friends started buying me hats and I did buy a wig but never wore it. Everyone commented that I had such a perfectly round head that it became a joke. I never was brave enough to go out in public though without a hat on. Growing it back in was a bigger deal as it was kind of like Spring time - watching and waiting to see what it was going to be like. A renewal of my body as a cancer free survivor.

During my first visit with my oncoogist I was told that TOTAL hair loss would occur in the first two to three weeks. I made the decision that as soon as the clumps started to fall I would just cut it all off. And that's what we did, on Easter Sunday last year. I cried as we clippered it off and actually kept the hair in a plastic bag for awhile. That lasted until the cats discovered the bag, tore into it and started carrying hair clumps around. I laughed so hard my sides hurt and then I just threw it all away. I opted out on wigs....they kind of looked like road kill to me....and only wear hats when its cold or to protect from the sun (I actually got freckles on my head this summer LOL). I'm so use to it now that when I look at pics where I have hair, they look funny to me.

Hi, guess we all have a story about our hair...it's funny after but not while it's happening.
I did not have the chemo for bone cancer I had it for breast cancer and they were not sure if I
was going to lose it. Well one saturday I took a shower and most of it fell out in the shower. It all stuck to me it was terrible. After the shower I got dress and sat the the edge of the bed to dry what was left to my hair and stupid me the rest of my hair was all over the bed!!! I had to vacuum it up. It's funny now but it wasn't then. Dave a guy i was dating he came over after the shower he was great he picked up all my hair cause I could not. He also brought coffee and a donut with chocolate frosting and I had frosting from the donut on my finger and scratched my head and there was more hair on the frosting...man did I cry. I used to say that was the worst bad of my life, surgery and chemo was nothing till I lost my hair. I used to be a hairdresser. After a couple of months I was really ok with it. One time I order pizza had it delivered forgot to put a hat on, the poor guy looked like he saw a ghost!! It was me!!! There are so many stories. Funny now but not then. The only other thing I can say...you know the chemo is working...or you would not lose your hair.

I was so sad about that! When it started to fall out, my husband shaved it all off at once. That was so weird. Then, when my eyelashes, eyebrows and everything started to fall off ugh. the eyelashes weree really traumatizing for me. I'd go through days were it was all just fine...when it would bother me most was when i wanted to feel like a GIRL...pretty and such. That's when it would kill me, that I looked like some alien and no matter what I did, i didn't look pretty. I did have a favorite hat to sleep in ( the head becomes so sensitive) and a favorite hat for daily wear...unless it was hot out then I'd go bare! I hated wigs because they itched my head. The regrowth of it is pretty rough too because I have curly hair...so for months, I looked like a sheep!
It's a brand new day, the sun is shining, and I'm ALIVE!

Well - when I found out i would loose my hair no if ands or buts about it i wasn't concerned about loosing the hair on my head but on my body (ie - privates) sorry guys. hehe! my friends would make so much fun of me. i was freaking out about it. it was always funny because i thought of the most silly things - imagine i still do. to prepare for my hair falling out i got it cut short - i think orth oncs suggestion. i was going to go to my hair dresser to have my head shaved as soon as i noticed it was coming out. well one thing no one ever mentioned was how much having hair could hurt. the chemo burned my hair follicle so bad that i couldn't waite to get it shaved. so 2 friends took me to the mall and off it came. funny thing is the beautician didn't speak good english so she couldn't fathom why i wasnted my head shaved. so she decided to leave me some fufu bangs in the front. i said no shave it off. she refused. so i started pulling the rest out with my hands. she got the hint and shaved it off. we had such a great laugh. threw on my baseball cap and off we went shopping in the mall. my only regret is that i didn't take pictures. it was such a momentous occassion.
it was actually a blessing not to have hair going through treatment. couldn't imagine having to fuss with hair when i barely could lift an arm to wash up. especially after my limb salvage surgery no baths/showers for about 2 months. i went to get a wig but couldn't bring myself to get one. was too self concious thinking one day i had that hair, then none, and now all the sudden a head full. not for me. did offer to get one for my friend but she passed - i was shocked cause she's always had something crazy going on with her hair. so i wore a baseball cap, dress hat or just went bald. people were gonna stare no matter what. so why not give em a show.
at times it was difficult to look at the person in the mirrow - bald, pale, black eye and accept it was me. the growing back process was also eventful. my hair grew back in darker, thicker and curly. what a treat to try and ffigure out how to care of a mop of curly cues after 25 1/2 yrs with straight hair and 6 months without hair. it took awhile for me to get comfortable with my new locks. but my friends were great and on a weekend get-a-way i was not allowed to wear a hat at any time. that was the break through for me. the thought of a hairdresser scared me to death. so it took over a yr before i got my first haircut. everyone came to see my long ringlets and admire. it was fun to see their reactions when they asked if it was natural and i'd say nope had to go through chemo to get it - highly suggest it beats a perm. lol!
if I had the balls i'd stay bald. no bad hair days!

I need some input. Mark has lost most of his hair but it is very patchy. Do i let it fall out? He wanted me to shave it but they said with his white cell count down and his platlet count down also it is a risk for infection and bleeding. How do i make him feel better about himself. He will not leave the house because of his hair. He hates hats. Any suggestions? Please help....

Shaving his head shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use a razor. A bladed razor might cause nicks so that's why you wouldn't want to use one.
But, you can use hair clippers like they use at a barber shop without any attatchments. A couple of other things you could use are a beard/mustache trimmer or an electric razor that has a beard/mustache trimmer attatchment.
Hope it helps.

I would recommend shaving with clippers as well. I remember having the same issues with patchy hair and my wife shaved my head while I was in the hospital in traction. It really sucks to be in that situation. I hope things get better soon for Mark.

I agree with kevin and Randy use the clippers. The little bit that is left wont be as messy if it falls out later. When i did mine then rest seemed to come out in the shower a short time later. Hope you feel better soon.

Chris hated being bald too!
Remember there are some good things about being bald.
1. Bald is currently IN fashion!!
2. Cooler in the summer.
3. Less shampoo to buy
4. Low maintainance (too tired to spell correctly---that doesnt look right)
5. you can blind oncoming traffic with the shine of your head.
Okay....so maybe not number 5.
No hair for a short time is worth it if it saves your life.

I was devastated to find that I would be losing my hair. All my life people always told me how beautiful my hair was, it was the first thing people would see and mention... ask me if it was naturally red and curly, which it was. So when it came time to face losing it... I did it in steps. The first thing I did was go to the beauty salon with my soon-to-be mother-in-law and we got our hair done. I cut my really long hair short, just so I could get used to that. And it would also be easier for me to deal with when it came time to falling out. Also, my fiance made me a promise that when my hair fell out he would completely shave his hair off as well.
The day came to do it and I had my mom take the clippers to my head. I cried like no tomorrow. Jason came home from work and went straight into the bathroom and shaved his head. Then he came over to where I was propped up on the futon and let me inspect his newly shaved head. I mentioned that people were going to think that's quite something. That's when he said "Well, not as much as this" and pulled out the ring. He asked me to marry him. I cried and hugged him and told him "Of course I will!". My mom was there and even she cried.
So I look back on the day my hair went away with a smile and remember the beautiful thing Jason turned that memory into for me. Gosh I love that man.

Lisa, I like your story about what happened with you when you lost your hair!!! very romantic!!
I guess, I'm a lucky one, who likes wearing a wig. before I lost my hair I went to the wigs' store and chose the wig that looks exactly like my hair. it was expensive one,$ 300 but was worth it. very comfortable, even can't feel it. I think it depends on Brand also.
Some people who don't know what happened to me last summer even have no idea that this is not my hair.
because I'm working at the College, where a lot of young people, I feel more comfortable wearing a wig. However, at home I prefer to use my bold shiny head to bring brightness during dark time of day!!:)) Saving on electricity!:))
I agree with everybody, that boldness is a advantage when you going through chemo and don't have energy for anything, even wash your hair!

I was so in shock from the diagnosis that the thought of loosing my hair was on the back burner. At my What to Expect During Chemo class, the nurse told me in about 14 days I would loose total body hair. So my hubby's twin sis, who's a hair dresser, came over and cut my hair real short a couple of days after my first treatment. I started loosing my hair in about 10 days. I had her come back to shave the rest off because I found that the anticipation of it being gone was worse than just getting rid of it. Plus it let me still have what little control of my body that I still could. My sis in law being the joker that she is, first cut me into a mohawk and then left a tuft of hair behind one ear, all the while taking pictures. The last pose was with her face and the back of my bald head. My thoughts on that are, guess what picture will be on the front of her Christmas card. ha ha
My husband shaved his head with me and my older sis in law cut her hair real short too. That meant so much to me. My husband say's as long as I'm bald, he will be too. It still gets me choked up to think about it. I called my mom to warn her about my hair being gone, but she still cried when she saw me. I think for family and friends, seeing me bald makes them have to face how serious this all really is. After seeing me a couple of times they get used to it I guess. I wish I could shield them from the pain, but I can't.
I went to a Look Good Feel Better class from the Amer Cancer Soc last week. I would recommend this highly to women with hair loss. I'm not sure if they have them for men. There were about 6 of us in the class. There were Skin and Hair care professionals to show you how to take care of your skin and apply makeup when your facial hair is gone. This was my first time being bald in public to try on wigs and hats. It was kind of freeing actually. They did give me a wig. It's really cute. I'll have to put it on and take a pic to see what you guys think. My hubby says it looks good but he likes my bandannas better. They also gave me a ton of high quality skin care products and makeup. I can now see such a difference in my skin.
Back to the hair. I had shoulder length, super curly, coarse hair that I was dying red. I have always wanted straight hair of course. I wonder how it will come back? I have a feeling there will be some little silver highlights in there. I think I'll try highlights when it come back and keep it short. Who knows? Rene

Hi Rene,
Thank you for sharing that story. I think your hair just might come back straight. Chemo does very strange things. My beard is usually blonde, but when it grew back after my first chemo it was jet black! I loved that look, but in about a month it went back to being blonde. Strange.
Before the cancer, I usually Bic'ed my head or kept my hair fairly short. So the idea of being bald wasn't shocking to me. But my hair was about an inch long when it really started to go. After a shower, I was towelling my head off and probably 1/4 of my hair came out and got in my eyes, nose, and mouth. THAT was distressing! So I went to the free barber shop at MD Anderson and the woman shaved it all off. I usually just wore a hat to keep my head warm, but that shop offers lots of wigs for women. That was nice of your husband to shave his head for you!
Wow! What chemo was that that killed your hair off in 10 days? All the chemo I got took 21 days to kill my hair.

Hey Scott, I wrote a post and just as I was going to finish it my daughter clicked the mouse and bye bye post. So I'll try this again. My one day chemo is Cyclophosphamide IV, Doxorubicin and Vincristine(aka red devil). That's the one that caused my hair loss. My 5 day in a row chemo is Ifosfamide and Etoposide. I will have 17 cycles of these two every 3 weeks. I'll get a break when I have surgery, and then I will continue on until next spring. So far I've only gotten nauseous from the 1 day treatment and pretty tired and very loopy from both. Fingers are crossed that it stays that way.

You know, I have to add something else to this as well. In the beginning I was rather self-conscious about the way I looked bald, so I would never leave the house without a bandana or wig on. Then one night when my dad and family were visiting from the east coast, we were going out to dinner and I totally forgot to bring anything to cover my head. My dad came up to me, wrapped an arm around my shoulders, and told me I had absolutely nothing to be ashamed about, that I was beautiful and I should be walking around bald everywhere I went.
And you know what? I did. And the more I did, the less I cared about it. Sure, sometimes I was just not in the mood to watch little children stare at me in horror and/or fascination when I'd go to the mall or the store, but it was more about me missing my hair than anything else.
I spent almost $300 on a nice wig with the color as close to my natural color as possible and i rarely wear it. I feel kind of funny in it now. So if i feel the need to cover my head i do it with one of the comfortable colorful cotton bandannas that i match to my outfits.

Aghhh! My hair's started to REALLY come out now
, it was shoulder length, so its coming out all over the place. One side of me thinks should I make the most of it while its still here and pick hair's off my clothes all day and the other thinks should I be brave and get it shaved off and over and done with? Sorry I know this post is how did you deal with hair loss!

Okay, Katie, I didn't deal with this because I didn't have chemo...but I have always thought it would be more traumatic to watch it come out in more and more chunks than to get it shaved off? I mean, to get it over with at once??? That seems like it would be more cathartic or something. Less traumatic overall? I don't know. UGH! You will make it through this, whichever way you choose! I think most of our members gave in and went for the shave.

We could do a bit of a trade involving your Lian Li. edit - Also a Pentium D 840, which just I pulled from a rig with a dead mobo. Not sure if the chip is still working or not though. Let me know if you would be interested in that instead, and I'll fire it up in another system to test if teh CPU is still good. |
Bump adding more later today |
I got the coolers today. good shape, great comunication.:clap: |

Adobe Patches A Dozen Serious Flash Vulnerabilities
Adobe released updated versions of the Flash Player and Air for PCs and Android devices today. In the security advisory describing the update Adobe lists a dozen serious vulnerabilities that are fixed in the new versions.
The affected products are:
- Adobe Flash Player 188.8.131.52 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris operating systems
- Adobe Flash Player 22.214.171.124 and earlier versions for Android
- Adobe AIR 3.0 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, and Android
Android users usually have to wait for their carrier to issue an update and obtain it through them will get their updates through the Android Market. Desktop computer users can obtain the latest version of Flash at the Adobe Flash Player Download Center. Never download Flash from any other site but Adobe's; fake versions of the Flash Player are often used to distribute malware.
Adobe recently announced that they would not develop Flash for mobiles anymore. Apart from a market desire for more standards-based technology, regular critical vulnerability fixes have been hard on both Adobe and users.
Adobe's PDF standard includes complete support for embedded Flash objects, so you can expect updates soon for Acrobat and Reader to address these same problems.

Plans for the new home at 450 Tarpon Avenue |
The proposal by Ian Rogerson and the Hunter Buchanan Estate at 450 Tarpon Avenue includes plans for a new 4,800-square-foot single-story, cottage-style home. It will be elevated to five feet eight inches above grade due to FEMA regulations.
The front, or west elevation on Tarpon Avenue, will be divided into three staggered wings – the entry, the central and the garage wings. The central wing of the house will feature a gabled roof, and the garage wing will be northern facing.
The southern half of the backyard will include a deck with a pool and spa, and the back of the house will feature a screened-in porch.
The next meeting for the Historic Preservation Board will be on August 14.View More images >>

Are you ready for the big game on Sunday well if you're one of the seven and a half million Americans.
Planning on buying a new TV.
For the Super Bowl you're in luck joining me now with a look at some of the best TV's out there is Paul Reynolds from consumer reports.
Okay I've got more information here and I know what to do with Paul that you're here to set -- straight thank you today and I question you here I know you're very intelligent on this topic.
You think a good time to buy TV but their set and a half million people out there are going to be doing the same thing.
How is that good.
What's good for two reasons first of -- a course -- a couple of days away from the big.
TV event of the year or if there's any time that you want -- brand new television particularly big one it's probably now the other reason is.
The 2012 sets are on the way out 2013 sets will be coming on the market in another month or two.
That's the whole industry is very motivated to sell your television set -- really wanna get -- old ones.
Prices are lower and I'll be even lower in a few weeks from now so you're buying -- next few -- -- you -- wait till you -- wait for -- if you are buying before Super Bowl might be good idea to get a price guarantee of the stores gonna drop the price they'll tell you that they'll refund due to differ.
It's -- now I want to do this manager in the order that you like.
I think he went start with algae so bottom -- your consumer reports has looked at these TVs they tested these TVs -- they have some.
Some things they -- -- Join start with the Samsung let's start -- -- Sanchez's Samsung has a great example of just how much TV you can get for your money now are -- 650 dollar TV set.
-- it has very good picture it uses a technology called plasma which is a technology that is very beautiful deep blacks.
And it's also got on what's and that was typically the criticism.
Grab these T basis that the blacks whether it very black.
And you can see well the picture is bright from any angle with a plasma set which can be important for something like a Super Bowl party.
Everybody conceive that there -- in the -- get -- drank while they scored a touchdown.
So that's an example 650 dollars 51 inches you move up you spend about twice as much as that you can get an LG this LG.
55 -- that -- this uses LCD technology.
Which is the most common technology television really nice and bright.
But not quite as black that this is a very good set 12100 dollars you know that in -- twice as much.
It's bigger and -- -- some stuff like online access you can go through and to Netflix and so on with this TV set.
Really a nice performer has some additional features at the Samsung doesn't.
That Panasonic is like day impress your neighbors television -- it's about 2500 dollars 165.
Inches which shows you 603700.
Averaged 37 but it right now you can get a for about 26.
Other pretty widely.
-- showing how the prices are coming down 65 inches this is one of the best television sets we've ever tested I mean.
The other one the LG had an excellent picture this is the high end of excellent -- really blew our testers away.
And it's got a lot of really nice features and a tremendously big picture the other thing it's got is.
Design which is you know increasingly important it's extremely thin.
And it hasn't really negative.
-- dazzle you look at these now I think the originals were right shots it was hard did set them up and around because they were so fat right -- -- very scanning much different.
Telling the one thing I should note -- asked the salesman is like go -- Which I have my mind already made up about.
Well I think you should decide the size that you want you should look at getting the biggest size that you can afford.
Chances are your room is big enough for it and you're really gonna appreciate that exercise once you get the -- -- plasma or LCD make that went in and the resolution.
And 3-D you're not how to make that decision three -- pretty much is gonna be built in to all but the cheapest sets now the very cheapest brands.
You're gonna get -- you might as we'll get it anyway don't pay extra for which you don't really have to pay extra for anymore.
All right Paul thanks for coming on now we know how to -- TV set for the Super Bowl thank you so much -- --

DOE's Tulsa Office to Become Oil Technology Arm
of National Energy Technology Laboratory Will Elevate Status of Petroleum Research Program |
TULSA, OK - The U.S. Department of Energy's primary field office for petroleum technology in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will become part of the agency's national laboratory complex as an arm of the recently created National Energy Technology Laboratory, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson announced today. Richardson said he was taking the action to "elevate the status of department's petroleum research program." "The future of our domestic petroleum industry will be determined largely by technology, and it is important that we streamline the coordination throughout our research complex in developing advances that can benefit our domestic producers," Richardson said. "This action creates a much tighter linkage between our petroleum technology program and our laboratory research structure. It will strengthen collaboration in several important research areas. For example, it will provide for better technology exchanges between the oil exploration and production efforts we coordinate out of our Tulsa office and our natural gas researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory," Richardson said. Previously, the Tulsa office - the National Petroleum Technology Office - operated as a separate part of the Energy Department's Fossil Energy organization. With the new change in reporting relationships, the office will report to the National Energy Technology Laboratory located in Morgantown, WV, and Pittsburgh, PA. The laboratory was designated last December by Richardson as the nation's 15th national laboratory and is the Energy Department's primary fossil fuel research center. Part of its organization includes a new Strategic Center for Natural Gas which will oversee a wide range of natural gas related activities. The 26-employee petroleum office will remain in Tulsa and will continue to be the lead site for coordinating the Energy Department's oil technology program. The office will be a separately identifiable group within the National Energy Technology Laboratory's organization, comparable to the natural gas center. The director of the Tulsa office will report directly to the director of the National Energy Technology Laboratory. Integrating the petroleum office into the National Energy Technology Laboratory also will give petroleum specialists in Tulsa more immediate access to the Laboratory's onsite research facilities and its research support capabilities. |

Have you ever attempted to cut a wine bottle only to have it leave a nasty jagged edge? Maker Dan Rojas shows us the secret to cutting a wine bottle with a clean edge in less than 30 seconds. [Thanks, Timothy!]
Have you ever attempted to cut a wine bottle only to have it leave a nasty jagged edge? Maker Dan Rojas shows us the secret to cutting a wine bottle with a clean edge in less than 30 seconds. [Thanks, Timothy!]
I make cool stuff and write about other people making cool stuff on makezine.com. If you have something you think I should see, send me a tip.
Where can you buy and who is the manufacturer of the exact bottle cutter shown in the video
Nice work Dan Rohas. Very informative Plus you're pretty easy on the eyes…added bonus.
I've not tried this method and it looks interesting but probably not something I'll try since I don't have a sink in the shop and my kitchen sink is cast iron and I don't want to have to fish broken glass out of the garbage disposal… again. The least messy and safest way to cut bottles I've come across is to score the bottle and then tap from the inside, just above the score line. A 1/4″ mild steel rod with a 90 degree bend along the last 3/4″ or so works really well. Stick that through a wooden dowel to use as a depth stop and you're all set. Just set the end of the steel rod to tap about 1/8″ above your score line and start tapping, a crack will soon appear along the score line, just chase it with the tapper all around the bottle. Takes about a minute and gives a clean break without having to mess about in the sink. I can do about five or six glasses an hour or so,from bottle to clean usable drinking glass.
I wrote up some bottle cutting instructions here:
and here:
And have a finished project using a bottle top, here:
Back in the late neolithic (~1974ish) we were cutting bottles with nigh perfect edges in about 30 seconds (unless we were high) with the [trumpet fanfare]: "Fleming Bottle and Jug Cutterâ"¢" (which had parts which closely resemble one of the devices used here) The other bit went inside the bottle after scribing the outside and allowed one to progressively tap/advance the score through the glass, (much as is done in certain lab glassware procedures). I'm sure that ebay and google would lead one to enough images to reconstruct these simple devices:
(need some permanent repository of these ancient slightly tacky hobbies ..yep)
craftzine.com perhaps?
Thank you. Your video was very informative and easy to follow. You inspired me to try this. Thanks again.
Back when, there was an article in Scientific American that explained how water in a glass fracture essentially debonded Silicon Dioxide, reducing the force necessary to break glass.
You have the best of both worlds with this breaking technique, a sharp score line to produce a controlled stress riser, moisture to propagate the crack, and reasonably low temperature stress so you don't have the bottle break anywhere else but the score (nasty side effect of the burn 'n dump method). As can be seen in the video, the fracture propagates from the score inwards until the top pops off.
Simple touch-up with a carborundum stick is usually all that's necessary once you've got the technique down.
Anyone care to explain what the appeal is for these types of glasses? I've used them and don't really see the point, they're maybe one step above drinking out of a mason jar. Or maybe one step below, a mason jar at least has a little charm, and doesn't have a gritty sandpaper edge. Glass is infinitely recyclable and made from the most abundant substance in the earth's crust so I can't imagine environmental concerns are a factor here. If it's "wow I cut some glass" then I can understand but who actually thinks a cupboard full of these is a good idea?
There is a not insignificant energy savings by reusing glass instead of recycling it after just one use.
You could also use the cut bottles as other things other than just glasses. Vases, mini-terrarium, in the case of Dan Rojas it sounded like he had a purpose in mind that didn't involve drinking out of them. Also as jiggy said the energy to reuse the glass though if you mess up through experimentation it is as you say infinitely recyclable(and easy to get empties if you know the right folks).
What I'm doing it for, is for these: http://diy.weddingbee.com/topic/my-diy-wine-bottle-centerpieces
Cut the bottom off the wine bottle, and place a candle underneath. Really cool looking, and every time I show someone the picture I get asked "But how did they get the candle inside?"
In addition to drinking glasses, you could use the tops either as a type of wind chime or bell type of gadget in kinetic sculptures. That's the type of idea I have in mind.
Typically I am not a sucker to my "OMG, i have to buy that now" type emotions… well, ok, more than I'd like to admit.
But I did go to the web site and spend $55 (after shipping) for this Dan guy to send me the scoring apparatus. Initial impressions: it's aluminum, i think, and it was either 1) poorly manufactured, 2) previously used, or 3) stored badly… in any rate the thing is all scuffed up. Not sure it was worth $55.
BUT, my wife and I just tried it tonight. Of the three we tried, the first (a La Hoya wine bottle) was nearly perfect(!). The second was not so good and the third, a thick bottle of Captain (we got greedy), was quite bad, but I have seen enough that I think with practice it will work very nicely.
You might find it cheaper on ebay, but the process does work surprisingly well.
My husband does this also. He scores the glass, then uses a candle to heat up the seam until he hears a slight cracking noise, then he goes over the seam with ice that he's frozen flat in ziplock bags. This uses a lot less water, and still results in perfect cuts.
WOW!!! THANK YOU!!!! Im going to try it…;o)

Probably not the video…
just get to the point!!!!
As much as this is helpful, I think the video could benefit from a 5 minute excise of useless commentary.
OMG how perfect. Thanks. I actually found the "don't do this" sections helpful and entertaining. If you just want to cut to the chase, jump to 3:40.
So excited to try this! We have a glass cutting set that I have only used once because the method of tapping around the score line was so tedious and yielded a disappointing result. Good to know that the scoring took wont go to waste either!
Thought this was great! Sorry some folks are so impatient.
Thank You for your glass cutting instructions. I have cut many bottles for craft projects
and did not have great luck. It looks like this cutter is great. Thank you again for taking your time to share.
Wonderful tutorial. You are obviously very good with this and offering the video allows others to skip ahead to better ways to get things done. Please consider, however, not "putting down" others or their sites as you aggressively do. People (and products) improve with experiences, but the former examples were necessary in order for us to move on! There's no reason to "bad mouth" the Model T in comparing it to the newest, sleekest and powerful car! We can see the improvement and the proof is in the pudding! Thank you, again, for your wonderful and enlighting video!
Just wondering..can you make multiple scores in one bottle, then use the water method to break them? I want to make rings from my bottles.
I would like to know what brand of bottle cutter he is using. We have purchased two different ones and neither work..Thank you
This looks great! Thku
Scored 3…1 is perfect. Want to make wine bottle lanterns to hang around the deck. Thank you for the help.
how would u cut a square wine decanter?
I have watched people use a tile saw for square, as well as round, bottles. In response to the tacky comments, I totally agree that some of the projects are nauseating, but I do think the pendant lights look very nice. http://img3.etsystatic.com/000/0/6706366/il_fullxfull.323909399.jpg http://cdn.furniturefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Recycled-Wine-Bottle-Colorblock-Lights-from-Jerry-Kott.jpg
This is nice. Seems less dangerous. Now can you come up with an easier way to put a hole in a bottle to string lights into it?
I have tried scoring 3 different bottles and all 3 have started cracking on the line, but then before I know it the cracks have gone crazy and my bottles are useless now What am I doing wrong?
You have to have a perfect score line. I initially tried to do it with a handheld glass cutter with zero results. I didn't want to buy another cutter due to budget reasons, but someone got me the one in this video as a gift, and let me tell you, IT IS WORTH IT! I got about 16 bottles done in an afternoon. And the only reason I didn't do more was because I ran out of bottles. I think I lost about 5 at most due to the glass breaking wrong. In my experience, the thicker glass cut smoothest. So if you have the right tool, and a heavy bottle, you should be good to go!
i was going to try the rope and acetone trick to cut it,but i wanted to make sure it was completely safe.so i also looked for other ways that DID NOT have any fire involved.thanx for the vid!it worked perfectly!
wow. you are my hero!!!
This is absolutely brilliant- thank you so much for sharing. I really don't know that much about glass and it's properties… have you ever tried it on a hand blown crystal bottle? It probably sounds more exotic that it is, but I thought I would at least ask you before trying. Thanks and Happy New Year!
I have cut thousands of gallon glass jugs, we used to make canisters out of them and made around 3000 a week. Everyone wanted to know how we cut them and we never told because when your in the craft business you don't tell your secrets. I stopped making them years ago so I don't mind telling how we did them. We used a hot wire.; You can set it up with either an old toaster or welder. We used a small welder and nickel cadmium wire. It's too much to explain how to set up a cutter here but all ya need is the welder, wire, alligator clips, a couple springs and a spray bottle. You can cut a glass jug in two places within one minute.
Forgot to mention, the cuts with the hot wire are very smooth, no jags at all. The same wire will cut anywhere from 20 to 40 jugs ( two cuts per jug ).
If i get one of these, does anyone want to buy my old
if you want to do it the really easy way, get a cheap tile cutter or wet bandsaw/skillsaw. not much more expensive than the cutter he used ($55 for 3 bucks worth of aluminum? really?).
Nice technique. For the hell of it I put the cork back in after filling the bottle and the vacumn alone was enough to keep it from leaking (no weight needed). Gonn have to try to prank someone with a capped beer bottle that 'magically' seperates when they pick it up.
That would be so deathly hilarious!
Tried it exactly how he showed it – same bottle cutter evern – and it didn't work. I previously used a candle and a jug of ice water and got results after repeating it about 5 times. Was excited about this way, but no dice.
I used to use a similar process on Borosilicate glass tubing, Score once around the tube then I used a torch to heat the end of a small diameter glass rod. Touch the red hot rod to the score and then bink the tube starts to split at the score, If it doesn't go all the way around then repeat the heat and touch cycle in a different place on the score.
Only had a problem sometimes with REEAALLY thick walled tubes.
oh and Colored Chinese boro tubing ( damn stuff almost always broke in weird ways)
Awesome! I have the glass cutter, but you are right it cracks in all directions and I was cleaning for like an hour. I personally got my glass cutter at Micheals (its the one in the video) I think it was about $40 but you can use their coupons on it 40% or 50% makes it a little easier to get!
i bought that cutter though internet and it doesnt work at all, 10 different people have tried it watching the video, IMPOSSIBLE.
Been watching the Rojas's DIY videos on Youtube for a quite a while. His unpolished way makes a project doable because "if he did it than I can too". I prefere the vidoes where his Wife is in them better.
Why is everyone talking about sanding the cut edges? I was taught how to "flame polish" cut glass – gently and slowly bring the temperature at the cut edge up to the annealing point (just below melting) with a torch (in lab we used the bunsen burner). The sharp edges soften down to smooth and you don"t get the matt finish.
I am cutting bottles now for a month and I love it! I am trying to figure out though how to cut as smoothly as possible without the little 'chips' of glass. Maybe I have to pre-heat the bottle before cutting? I'll try. Anyway I found my cutter on Amazon and there a many different types, I wish I could try them all before choosing one:
Started out with a dozen bottles. One was perfect, 3 were salvageable and the rest were useless. They all started to crack beautifully but then all of a sudden would fissure up or down. Totally bummed this didn't work.
Did you use the tool he did in the video? I had lots of frustration trying to use a little handheld cutter, but once I got the same kind of cutter he used, this worked perfectly. I got about 20 done in an afternoon. Occasionally I would have a bottle that didn't want to cut properly, but in general this worked great.
Yep, i used the same one. Any idea why I kept getting fissures up or down? I tried everything… Adjusted the water temp, lightened up the stream of water, made the score line finer then deeper… Nothing seemed to work
I noticed that for me, the thicker, heavier bottles came out better than the others. I used a teapot to heat up the water and pour hot water directly on the score line, while rotating the bottle for a few seconds, and then ran it under a thin stream of water in the sink for a few seconds. Sometimes it would take a few rounds, but it almost always worked. Occasionally I would get a bottle that just didn't want to cooperate, but overall it worked great. Try using thicker bottles. My hypothesis is that the glas is stronger, and therefore more likely to break only on the score line, instead of getting fissures above and below.
Excellent and very informative. Thank you!
I just replaced the string method with yours Thank You
i've been cutting over 100 bottles now using the hot water to cold water method with the score line.. for sanding it i recommend a diamond grinder for some kind of rotary tool. rounds the edges with no effort, then use some fine sandpaper to make it a little smoother.
Wow Dan Rojas!! Thank you so much for this. I love how you explained everything with so much detail. I can't wait to try this. I'm crazy for this gin bottle that is an aqua color….Saphire, I think it is called? I want to see if I can make it work for that. Anyway, I really enjoyed your video and thought the cat jumping on the table was hysterical. Also, may I recommend something? You let the glass drop onto your sink. I'm thinking that if put a towel in your sink you won't risk breaking the top half….I'm one of those people who want to use the top for putting tea candles inside. Please keep up the good work!!

Kate Gilmore: Girl Fight
New York, NY
January 31–April 20, 2008
about the artistKate Gilmore's performance-based videos depict the artist working through a series of self-imposed challenges. Her tragicomic situations suggest the futility of personal and cultural ritual as they bring to the foreground issues of feminine identity and fear of success.
While occasionally humorous, Gilmore's performances have a more serious subtext: the daunting, often self-subverting obstacles that many women face. Subjecting herself to precarious situations while wearing clothing incongruous with her circumstances, Gilmore persistently and methodically labors onward, sometimes negotiating her own sculptural tableaus as she encounters life's many perils in heels, dresses, and makeup.
Kate Gilmore lives and works in New York, NY. She received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY, in 2002. Upcoming 2008 solo exhibitions will be held at Maisterravalbuena Galeria, Madrid, Spain; Smith-Stewart Gallery, New York, NY; and Pierogi Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. She has had a range of solo exhibitions at venues such as White Columns, New York, NY (2004); and Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT (2005). Her work was included in a two-person exhibition at Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, OH (2006). Selected group exhibitions include Environments and Empires, Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, Waltham, MA (2008); Reckless Behavior, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2006); and Greater New York 2005, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center/MOMA, Long Island City, NY. Gilmore was recently awarded the Rome Prize, American Academy in Rome, Italy (2007).
about the exhibition
Kate Gilmore's Girl Fight offers an overview of the artist's work extending back to 2004, and culminating in a new sculptural installation and accompanying videotaped performance made at Artpace. Unfolding throughout the building, the exhibition is a comprehensive presentation of the artist's process, showing the range of her thematic territory and her devotion to colorful composition.
The show opens with Blue Ribbon (2007), screened on the monitor in the stairwell lobby. It features the artist stacking bales of hay while wearing a delicate sundress, blue hair ribbon, and what Gilmore has termed "cute farmer heels." After completing each layer of this makeshift pyramid, she climbs the bales, tying around them a blue ribbon analogous to the one in her hair, constantly on the verge of losing her balance and falling. The work underscores the artist's unyielding attention to compositional perfection even in uncomfortable circumstances, a recurring theme in Gilmore's work, which draws attention to the obsessive behavior that can emerge while coping with daily toil.
In the conference room is a program of two shorter video works: Baby, Belong to Me (2006/2007) and Before Going Under (2007). Both are set to popular music, lending them the familiarity of a music video. In Baby, Belong to Me, Gilmore's noosed, slipper-clad foot fills the frame against a background of painted hearts while one hand struggles to untie the rope. Set to a song from the 1980 musical Fame, the video portrays the conflict between the longing for personal success and the need to give attention to love and relationships. In Before Going Under, we see Gilmore, dressed in a white skirt and red top, holding a bouquet while someone off-screen tries to lasso her with a yellow rope. Once caught, Gilmore springs into action, running out of the frame, the rope taut as she struggles against the violent pull of her captor until she is brought down and dragged across the ground, once more passing out of view, this time presumably into the clutches of the love that has conquered her.
Endurance Makes Gold (2008), created at Artpace, returns to a recurring theme in the artist's work—the desire for reward in the wake of personal success—and is Gilmore's most ambitious project to date. The sculptural elements begin in the courtyard, one full story below the exhibition space, and extend through the north-facing gallery windows into the center of the Hudson (Show)Room. The video of the performance, presented at the bottom of the installation's carpeted ramp, depicts the artist struggling to climb the sculpted tower of discarded furniture and platforms before clambering through the gallery's window and strutting down the ramp. To make this compositionally complex video, Gilmore used three separate cameras and spliced the moments together to form a single narrative. She combined yellow, red, and blue both in her outfit and in the structural components of the sculpture, referring to the ribbon colors for first, second, and third place finishes. The somewhat makeshift quality of the installation and its performance video attest to the artist's willingness to leave certain features of her work to chance, including shooting the performance in one single take and then editing it into the best narrative attainable. This "found" approach to the creative process is reflected in the title of the work, which she discovered in a fortune cookie during a meal in San Antonio.
In the alcove adjacent to Endurance Makes Gold is another program of two short works that also deal with the aspiration to fame and celebrity. In With Open Arms (2005), Gilmore, clad in a lavender cocktail dress and matching hair bow, is a performer taking her curtsy in front of a background decorated with stars as she is pelted with tomatoes, all the while struggling to maintain her dignity and composure. In Star Bright, Star Might (2007), the artist is like a child at a carnival, inserting her face into a cut-out in a false-front set that turns her into star, until her repeated attempts to correct the fit results in her destruction of the set.
Finally, the exhibition includes two more works, projected on a larger scale–My Love is an Anchor (2004) and Main Squeeze (2006)–that exemplify Gilmore's earlier forays into navigating difficult situations. They are relentlessly physical and dark in character, and in My Love is an Anchor, in contrast to other similar works, we never find out whether the outcome is successful or not. We are left instead with a protracted study of persistence and futility.

Party pics: Motor City NYE – The Drop
While millions had their TVs tuned to New York's famed Times Square ball drop, Detroit was counting down 2010 in a similar fashion with the first ever Drop at Campus Martius Park.
The Drop, sponsored by Metromix, was held outside the Hard Rock Café Detroit and in the Compuware atrium. There were two main stages with music provided by DJs Tom T and A.D. Cruze, hors d'oeuvres stations and an open bar until 2 a.m. The first-time event was hosted by Fox 2's Anqunette Jamison.

Anne is the Internet Managing Editor for UpNorthLive.
Be sure to vote in the poll at the bottom of the story!
The millage was first introduced as a winter maintenance plan, but was changed to a road millage because of the "need for year-round roadwork."
GRAND TRAVERSE CO. -- Residents are being asked to vote this November on a road maintenance millage.
The Grand Traverse Road Commission manager went before the County Commissioners on Wednesday to answer questions regarding the proposal. They voted unanimously to add the millage to the November 5th election ballot.
To put the millage into context, if approved, residents with a $75,000 home would pay an additional $75 per year.
Road Commissioners know a millage vote is an uphill battle, as votes to raise taxes are not typically well received, but manager Jim Cook says this millage is worth it.
"We live in a fantastic area, it's very unique," Cook said. "It's a great place to live, but if you look at our roads, it's not so great. It's not something to be proud of and we want to be proud of our area. It supports our local economy with the tourism and for our residents."
Currently, less than 20% of Grand Traverse County roads are rated in "good condition," but Cook said under this plan, that number could increase to 80% in the next 20 years.

The Secretary of Agriculture is seeking applications from qualified U.S. citizens for detail assignments in Afghanistan as Agricultural Experts on civilian and/or military units.
In Afghanistan the U.S. Government (USG) works to foster security, stability and development under situations of conflict or post-conflict through the use of military/civilian-led units composed of military personnel and civilian experts. USDA Agricultural Experts support reconstruction projects and programs in a province or region, depending on assignment, to enable the local and national governments to accomplish their reconstruction goals. Agricultural Experts work with partners from the Government of Afghanistan and the USG to undertake meaningful reconstruction projects. Work is conducted in hazardous environments and under difficult living conditions.
Deployments are 12 months in duration. Assignments are contingent upon obtaining and maintaining medical (Class 1 worldwide, unrestricted) and security (Secret) clearances. These positions are subject to special pay allowances and differentials which are equal to 75 percent on top of base salary and locality pay plus applicable premium (overtime) pay. USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) provides overall coordination for USDA's efforts in Afghanistan. For current USDA employees, FAS covers the actual costs associated with the 12-month detail once the employee has obtained the necessary clearances and has completed all mandatory trainings.
TO APPLY: Applications must be submitted to USAJOBS the official job site of the federal government. Please go to http://jobsearch.usajobs.gov/agency.aspx, select Foreign Agricultural Service.

There's room for trial and error in every garden. When I bought my house, I was ecstatic about the existence of a mature tree peony in the backyard. Then I made a mistake. I decided to move it. Despite my attempts to make the plant's transition as smooth as possible, it was wilting within a few days. I continued to care for it anyway and just when I decided to give up, I discovered some new growth. Lesson learned: Don't mess with perfection.

Entergy: Vermont Yankee to close by end of 2014
Updated at 1:35 p.m.
Entergy Corp. says it will shut down the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station by end of 2014, ending a long legal battle with the state.
"This was an agonizing decision and an extremely tough call for us," Entergy's chairman and CEO Leo Denault said in a statement. "Vermont Yankee has an immensely talented, dedicated and loyal workforce, and a solid base of support among many in the community. We recognize that closing the plant on this schedule was not the outcome they had hoped for, but we have reluctantly concluded that it is the appropriate action for us to take under the circumstances."
Entergy, based in New Orleans, said the plant is expected to cease power production after its current fuel cycle and move to safe shutdown in the fourth quarter of 2014. The station will remain under the oversight of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission throughout the decommissioning process.
"We are committed to the safe and reliable operation of Vermont Yankee until shutdown, followed by a safe, orderly and environmentally responsible decommissioning process," Denault said.
The company has been battling with the state since 2010. That's when the Vermont Senate voted against a measure that would have authorized a state board to grant Vermont Yankee a permit to operate for an additional 20 years.
Vermont Yankee, the state's only nuclear plant, opened in 1972 in Vernon, near the Massachusetts state line. In the past, the plant has provided as much as a third of the state's electrical supply.
"They've made the right decision," Gov. Peter Shumlin told Vermont Public Radio. "Thety've made the right decision for Vermont. They've made the right decision for Entergy."
Shumlin said that more than half the plant's workers live outside his state, in New Hampshire or Massachusetts.
"These employees are smart people," Shumlin said. "They knew that the state of Vermont very much wanted the aging plant shut down. Entergy has now made the conclusion that that's the right thing to do. and now my job as governor is to work with the other governors - who've pledged to do so - to help these folks find great jobs."
Shumlin said he talked to Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts and Gov. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire on Tuesday morning.

CARTHAGE - A Fayetteville man is accused of sexually assaulting a girl about three years ago when her family was living in Moore County, authorities said.
Andrew Edward White, 27, of the 5700 block of Randleman Street, was charged Wednesday with taking indecent liberties with a child, committing a sex offense and three misdemeanors, including sexual battering, assault on a child under 12 and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Moore County authorities learned of the incidents when the girl, now 12, reported them to Scotland County deputies, said Capt. Bill Mackey of the Moore County Sheriff's Office.
The girl is now living in Scotland County and had run away from home, Mackey said. She reported the alleged incidents after deputies found her, Mackey said.
The girl was 9 when the alleged incidents happened, Mackey said.
White's bail was set at $125,000.

Conference tackles mental health issuesTreatment or incarcerationApril 19, 2013It was a chance to lay the issues out from all sides Thursday afternoon.... fivealiveOh, you are preaching to the choir on the waiting lists for mental health facilities. And they do have to allow voluntary admissions, which is tricky because those same folks often voluntarily check out. I don't know the answer, MTOMTO. I agree with you that there should be punishment for the criminal activity. But, in the case of the mentally ill, it needs to be balanced with effective treatment. Forcing the mentally ill to be locked up is a slippery slope, of sorts, but once they have hit the point of criminal violations it is very likely a lockdown facility is their best chance. The mentally ill do have rights and I am not at all advocating locking them all up. But the jails are not meant to handle mental illness. Again, the best thing to avoid the whole criminal issue is early interventions that are effective, available and affordable. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MTOMTO"AND...before we even get to this discussion, the entire mental health system needs fixed so that help is available before things get to the criminal level." Absolute agreement there! The reform should begin with the very facilities that diagnose (pigeon hole) and over-prescribe to the young. This can be the beginning of the addiction process itself. Seen it. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MTOMTO"I am saying that there is a more effective way to deal with it than just locking them up so the rest of us feel they have had their fair punishment." Neither am I, but the actions that got them there need to be weighed based on tyype and severity of crime. Isn't that why we have senencing guidelines and mandatory minimums? 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MTOMTO"OR do you place them in a lockdown mental health facility better equipped to deal with the root of the criminal problem?" One problem being that the State Hospital must allow self admittance. Have you seen a sentence to a "lockdown mental health facility" lately? I don't think that there is one. Even the voluntary ones have a waiting list, truct me on that one. Most sentencing that I read does require treatment - post incarceration. Obviously that isn't working well due to the recidivism rates. I would think that drying out in jail and being faced with the cold hard facts may help some repeat offenders realize that they need help? 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » fivealiveAddiction is a mental health issue. Selling drugs is a criminal issue, stemming from the mental health issue. So what do you do? Lock them up in jail for the criminal activity while not adequately treating the mental health issue, thereby guaranteeing they will return to criminal activity OR do you place them in a lockdown mental health facility better equipped to deal with the root of the criminal problem? One has a better chance of rehabilitating the person than the other. I am not excusing criminal behavior because of the mental illness. I am saying that there is a more effective way to deal with it than just locking them up so the rest of us feel they have had their fair punishment. If they are ill enough to be criminal, they need to be locked up but in a mental health facility that can deal with them effectively. AND...before we even get to this discussion, the entire mental health system needs fixed so that help is available before things get to the criminal level. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MTOMTOThat depends on what the type and severity of the crime that put them in there. Would you classify addiction to illegal drugs a crime or a mental illness? They have AA and NA meetings in the jail already. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » fivealiveThey do belong in jail at this point, in the sense that they have done something criminal. However, the question is whether or not they would have become "criminal" if they had had proper mental health care at an earlier stage. While they have committed crimes and likely need to be in lockdown facilities, jails are not designed or equipped to deal with mental health issues. Many of these folks can be safely returned to society IF they get the proper mental health care. Would you rather pay to keep them in jail where they get no better and won't become productive members of society OR get them into mental health facilities where they can get help and function in society? 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MTOMTOThese people don't belong in jail? They must have done something to get there. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » fivealiveWhat we need is more prevention and reasonable opportunities for families to get their children help early on. The way the mental health and insurance systems currently work, the only way to get significant help is to wait until the child/person does something criminal in nature. If help were available earlier on, we might not need to have this discussion about a criminal system overloaded with mental health patients. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » dubeditNewtown, Gabby Giffords' shooting ... the jerks in Washington and the pinko-liberal know-nothing anti-gun nuts keep pushing gun control when what we need is people control and reopened, restaffed state hospitals. 4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » sickofitBeacon light is a 8:00 to 4:00 facility no beds.Why is the state allowing its exspansion when it clearly is not going to alleviate the problem.Its like the state decided that the state hospitals are not needed and the funding was cut.They are willing to allow anything to replace the hospitals at any cost.Beacon light is a good idea but its not what will get these people off the streets and out of the jails. 0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 11 of 11 comments
