My washer is half full of water.
I cannot get the drain/spin cycle to work.
Is this a good question?
I cannot get the drain/spin cycle to work.
Is this a good question?
greta, here is my answer to a similar question "if it won't drain check this items according to the Service Manual from here
1. Check Wire Harness connections.
2. Check Drain pump.
3. Check Drain pump motor.
4. Check that the Drain hose and Drain Pump Filter are clear of foreign objects.
5. Check the CCU.
Page 52 of the same manual tells you how to run a diagnostics. See what error code you get on your washer. Of course when you get to the drain pump (available here) check the inlet and outlet for missing socks ;-) etc. sometimes you will find the weirdest things in there." Hope this helps, good luck.

She Listens to Seashells by the Sea Shore
Hi everybody. This is my watercolor 22" x 36" on Moulin Du Roy cold press 300lb watercolor paper. It is the first in a series of watercolor paintings for a children's book I have written about a little girl and her adventures living by the coast.
I like the composition and the tones very much in this painting as well as a slight view from above. It also captures a very Floridian ambient soft sunlight. The upper right area of blue was left open to be able to accommodate a block of type.
If you would like to see more of my coastal art please visit www.alanphillipstudio.com
Thank you for looking at my art today.
More to come...

French ex-minister in court over tax fraud, money laundering
- Image 1 of 3

- Image 3 of 3
PARIS – A former French budget minister is going on trial for hiding part of his wealth in tax havens around the world while fighting tax evasion at home.
Jerome Cahuzac is to appear in a Paris court Monday on charges of tax fraud and money laundering that forced him to resign in 2013 in one of the biggest political scandals under President Francois Hollande.
The 64-year-old former cosmetic surgeon is accused of concealing at least 687,000 euros ($766,000) in income from tax authorities in 2009-2012. He's also accused of laundering money in 2003-2013 through foreign bank accounts in Switzerland and Singapore and dummy companies in Panama and the Seychelles.
Cahuzac, who acknowledged evading taxes for two decades, faces up to seven years in prison and a 1 million-euro fine if convicted.

For our second day we booked an airboat swamp tour through Gators and Ghosts. I've always wanted to see alligators up close and personal. They were such gentle giants! You almost want to jump in and swim with them…
We spotted one underneath the trees. The tour guide recognized him. He calls him "Hook" because when they first found him he had a hook stuck in his mouth. Hook was the biggest one we say for the day – 11 feet long.
At one point my niece said, "Look at his arm!" And immediately I thought something was wrong with it so I asked "What about his arm?" to which she responded "It's just big."
Last month was mating season for alligators so all the eggs are laid. Female alligators can lay about 20-50 eggs. They usually lay them in areas such as this one. Hello, little birdie!
My niece and sister holding a baby alligator. He's about two years old. So cute.
I asked if I could hold him the rest of the tour. I couldn't.
All cemeteries are above ground in New Orleans. This is because the city is below sea level and when it rains, well, I'm sure you can imagine what would happen.
This hill happens to be an Indian Burial Ground and years ago ancient artifacts were found.
If you ever get a chance to do a swamp tour via airboat, I highly suggest it.

Never Cry Wolf
Unless You Have Evidence
Please take a moment to visit this website: http://graywolfnews.com/
Common Man Institute, in cooperation with Abundant Wildlife Society of North America, has done extensive research on wolves and their history for several years. We have gathered evidence on wolf attacks which occurred in North America.
A forester employed by the Province of British Colombia was checking some timber for possible harvest in the 1980s. He was met by a small pack of three wolves. The forester yelled at the wolves to frighten them away. Instead, the wolves came towards him in a threatening manner and he was forced to retreat and climb a nearby tree for safety. The wolves remained at the base of the tree. The forester had a portable radio, but was unable to contact his base, due to distance, until evening. When the call for help came in, two Conservation Officers with the Ministry of Environment were flown to the area by floatplane to rescue the treed forester.
When the Conservation Officers arrived, the forester was still in the tree and one wolf, the apparent leader of the pack, was still at the base of the tree. The officers, armed with shotguns, shot at the wolf and missed. The wolf ran for cover and then started circling and howling near the two officers. After a couple missed shots, the wolf was finally shot and killed.
The wolf tested negative for rabies. It appeared healthy in every respect, but was very lean. The Conservation Officers felt the attack was caused by hunger. (Taped Interviews and a photo of the wolf on file at Abundant Wildlife Society of North America.)
This is but one example from British Colombia. Wolves overran Vancouver Island in the 1980s. Attacks became so common that articles were published in Canadian magazines documenting such attacks. (Copies available upon request.)
Wolf Attacks on humans have occurred in national parks, too. In August 1987, a sixteen-year-old girl was bitten by a wild wolf in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. The girl was camping in the park with a youth group and shined a flashlight at the wolf. The wolf reacted to the light by biting the girl on the arm. That bite was not hard and due to the thick sweater and sweatshirt the girl was wearing, she sustained two scratch marks on her arm. The wolf was shot by Natural Resources personnel and tested negative for rabies. (Interview with Ron Tozer, Park Naturalist for Algonquin Provincial Park, 7/25/88.)
Well-known wolf biologist Dr. David Mech took issue with this attack stating it couldn't really be considered an authentic attack since the girl wasn't injured more severely. It was exactly nine years when such an attack would take place.
Algonquin Provincial Park is one of several areas where people are encouraged to "howl" at the wolves in hopes of a response from the wild wolves in the area. In August, 1996, the Delventhal family of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were spending a nine-day family vacation in Algonquin and joined a group of Scouts in "howling" at the wolves. They were answered by the howl of a solitary wolf.
That night the Delventhals decided to sleep out under the stars. Young Zachariah was dreaming when he suddenly felt excruciating pain in his face. A lone wolf had bit him in the face and was dragging him from his sleeping bag. Zach screamed and Tracy, Zach's Mother, raced to his side and picked him up, saturating her thermal shirt with blood from Zach's wounds.
The wolf stood menacingly less than a yard away. Tracy yelled at her husband, Thom, who leapt from his sleeping bag and charged the wolf. The wolf retreated and then charged at Tracy and Zach. The charges were repeated. Finally the wolf left. Thom turned a flashlight on 11-year-old Zach and gasped "Oh, my God!" "The boy's face had been ripped open. His nose was crushed. Parts of his mouth and right cheek were torn and dangling. Blood gushed from puncture wounds below his eyes, and the lower part of his right ear was missing." Zach was taken to a hospital in Toronto where a plastic surgeon performed four hours of reconstructive surgery. Zach received more than 80 stitches in his face.
Canadian officials baited the Delventhals' campsite and captured and destroyed a 60-lb wild male wolf. No further attacks have occurred since. (Cook, Kathy; "Night of the Wolf" READER'S DIGEST, July 1997, pp. 114-119.)

You might be familiar with the principle that if you love something set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was.
In my family, we have a different rule: If you love something, it's yours...even if it's someone else's. My mom, sister, and I use this rule frequently with clothing and jewelry items. For example, if I have a blazer that my sister borrows and wears over and over while I just wear it every once in a while and she tells me she loves it, I am more than happy to bequeath to her the blazer. And even if I wasn't happy to give her the blazer, at the next family get-together, she could bring it up, and my entire family would use the rule and familial pressure to commandeer the item for the rightful person.
Recently, my brother was at my parent's house, looking through the pantry, and wondered where the cookie jar was. The blue Tupperware cookie jar from our childhood that housed so many batches of my mom's delicious cookies... He loved that jar. But so did my sister, Maggie. And she had already acquired the jar through the rule.
But then she did something very selfless for Chris's 30th birthday. She found the exact same jar on e-bay, baked 30 delicious cookies, and bequeathed that to him...because the only thing better than the thing you love is an exact replica of the thing you loved filled with cookies. Think about it.
Also, tomorrow happens to be the 30th anniversary of Chris's birth. Thanks for coming out 18 months before me and paving the way. Happy Birthday!

'Low confidence' sees savings near €100bn
Consumers are continuing to put money aside for emergencies despite the economy growing strongly.
Households stuffed another €1bn into savings accounts in banks, to take the total for June close to €100bn.
The last time households had €100bn in banks was seven years ago, in January 2010.
The current surge in savings is despite the interest paid on savings being at a record low.
Cash in Irish bank accounts increased by €1bn in June to stand at €99.5bn.
This reversed a move in May where householders pulled €657m out of the banks.
Householders are net funders of the banks, as banks now hold €8bn more in deposits than they have loaned out.
The continuing surge in savings reflects the fact that households lack confidence despite a rise in disposable income, according to David Kerr, of price comparison site Bonkers.ie.
"The amount of money in deposit accounts in banks has been creeping up year after year. It reflects the fact that people still have cash available but confidence is still low.
"This points to an increase in disposable income but people have no confidence because they still want access to their money at short notice."
People do not have confidence to lock away their money for 12 months, which would ensure they get a better interest rate on their savings.
Personal finance expert Frank Conway said consumers remain cautious when it comes to their money on the back of the worst recession in living memory.

This article from The Economist puts the finger on the painful question of the "economic cost" of hosting refugees.
Read the article and comment on the European experiences in this respect in your journal.
You can also comment on what others have done in their own journals!
Refugee, a harm or not?
According to the IMF figures, refugees could be what States decide them to be: either a harm or a bargain for their economy. Considering that the developed world is aging and the public financial costs are becoming higher due to pension funds, the arrival of most young refugees in the manpower could be an occasion to enhance productivity. Why not to take advantage of that? But we can agree that no country could open the fence without keeping an eye on who enter and who not and how much they can support.

The primary purpose of an NA group is to carry the message of recovery to any addict that may need it. The group provides each member with the opportunity to share and to hear the experience of other addicts who are learning to live a better way of life without the use of drugs. The group is the primary vehicle by which our message is carried. It provides a setting in which a newcomer can identify with recovering addicts and find an atmosphere of recovery.
Starting an NA meeting can be relatively easy. NA meetings may vary greatly in structure and format, however, there is always one constant: They are started so that the NA message of recovery can be carried to the still-suffering addict in the most effective way-- addict to addict.

In recent times, though people put more value than ever on health, food paradoxically became more "unhealthy". Because of unhealthy preservatives, pesticides and chemicals used to accelerate their growth. Next they add, in many cases, a diet guaranteed disordered negative results on the body.
But food is not only that intercept harmful chemicals, beverages, body care products, home cleaning agents being both a major influencing factor. In this framework, detoxify the body no longer appears as a fad, and after two decades or more, but as a daily necessity on which our entire existence.
The concept of "detoxification" defines itself not as deprivation of food, starvation. And this does nothing to induce a state of lethargy and irritability that no benefit. Detoxification is more and may even become a pleasure for who knows how to get her advantage. Its purpose is to focus on the nutritional needs of the body and helps eliminate toxins. Below we present some methods daily, simple and inexpensive detoxification:
1. Enjoy a cup of warm water mixed with juice squeezed from half a lemon. Do this in the morning when you wake up early in the morning and you will be grateful digestive system.
2. Replace your morning coffee with a cup of green tea. A little caffeine does not hurt, with the only condition to be consumed only occasionally.
3. Use a dry brush body, morning or evening shower before. This practice is recommended for stimulating lymph nodes, traffic, and to remove impurities and dead skin cells. Avoid using breasts, in sensitive areas, on wounds or irritated skin directly.
4. Hot and cold showers, skin tone and stimulates circulation. When the body is exposed to cold weather, blood is channeled inward, toward internal organs. As the temperature increases, the flow moves more toward the "surface". This practice results in increasing the rate of detoxification. Start with a hot shower, comfortable, lasting about 10 seconds, then switch to water cooler and back to hot water. Repeat as many times as you like.
5. Immerse yourself in a detoxification bath for 20-30 minutes. Throw a handful of freshly grated ginger or chopped in a bathtub, then fill it with hot water. Ginger stimulates sweat glands and sweat as it is known is a fundamental way to eliminate toxins. Cider vinegar guarantees similar results. Drink plenty of water while bathing and after you exit to keep your body hydrated.

Los Angeles: Actors Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston threw an engagement party at their Los Angeles home, almost four months after getting engaged.
The `Wanderlust` co-stars celebrated with close friends including Demi Moore, Ben Stiller, Tobey Maguire, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia di Rossi at the low-key bash, a leading daily has reported.
Theroux popped the question on a romantic dinner date to celebrate his birthday at a restaurant in August.
Aniston, 43, previously said that the proposal was a complete surprise.
"It is hard to pull one over on me, where I`m not like, `Hmm, you`re acting really strange.` It was ... A very covert operation," she said.

Hi Jose
I expect you'll get other replies, but have you found THIS map of UK clubs.
It's only as good as the info fed in to it by clubs and their members, but not a bad starting place to see what's around.
It also won't tell you if their membership books are 'open' or full or how friendly they are (but I'm sure they are )
If you are looking ONLY for FT clubs, THIS may help too.
Happy club hunting and hope you find something soon.

Player of the Day--Kenisha Bell, Bloomington Kennedy, scored 29 points as the Eagles weathered the Storm of Chanhassan 79-66. Coach of the Day--Melissa Guebert, Eastview girls.
Thurs., Dec. 12--Eden Prairie girls 48 Lakeville North 41
This turned out to be the only high school game of the night, boys or girls, matched two rated teams. North led 22-16 at the half, but the Eagles came out and owned the second half. Lakeville's Polly Sjoberg led all scorers, however, with 17.
Player of the Day--Joey Witthus, Chanhassan boys, scored 36 points in a 75-66 win over Mound-Westonka. Coach of the Day--Chris Carr, Eden Prairie girls.
Wed., Dec. 11--Carleton men 76 Bethel 74
The Carls knock Bethel out of the MIAC lead. Each team now has 1 loss. Mitch Biewen scored 6 points inside of 2 minutes as Carleton wiped out a 4-point Bethel lead.
Player of the Day--Jordyn Sammons, Hamline women, 28 points in a losing cause, 85-58 to St. Thomas. Coach of the Day--Mark Hanson, Gustavus men, and John Herbrechtsmeyer, Bethel women, each of whom won to go 4-0 and take 1st place in the MIAC.
Tues., Dec. 10--Apple Valley boys 96 Hopkins 90
Tyus Jones scored 34 points to lead #1 Apple Valley to another tough win.
Player of the Day--But the PoD is Minnesota Gopher Austin Hollins who scored 20 points with 14 rebounds and 5 assists, to go over the 1,000 point mark for his career and lead the Gophers to a 75-59 win over South Dakota State. Coach of the Day--Rick Adelman of the Minnesota Timberwolves who won a surprisingly easy win at Detroit, 121-94.
Mon., Dec. 9--Mpls. Washburn girls 79 Tartan 71
Tia Elbert of Tartan outscored Chase Coley of Washburn 37-29 in the individual battle between 2 of the top 5 seniors in the state, though Coley added 21 boards and 9 blocks.
Player of the Day--Coley. Coach of the Day--Brian Harris of the Dover-Eyota girls who shocked #4-rated Plainview-Elgin-Millville 102-70 to go 5-0 themselves.
Sun., Dec. 8--Minnesota Gopher women 46 North Dakota 44
How much does Rachel Banham mean to the Gopher women? Well, play without her, even against one of the weakest opponents of the year and the Gophers are never more than a step away from disaster.
Player of the Day--And it would have been a disaster but for Gopher post Amanda Zahui who scored 25 with 10 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Sat., Dec. 7--Apple Valley boys 73 DeLaSalle 63
The game of the decade or of the century proved to be somewhat less than that as DeLaSalle stud Travis Reid was unable to play due to a stress fracture in a foot. And so Tyus Jones and Apple Valley won, well, not with ease exactly, but the outcome was not in doubt from late in the 1st half, which ended with the Eagles up 36-28.
Player of the Day--Tyus Jones with 29 points 11 assists and 7 rebounds. I'll say this, once Tyus Jones gets it in his mind to go to the rim from 20 or 30 or 40 feet, say, nobody gets there quicker. Coach of the Day--Greg Amundson, Centennial girls, who knocked off Minnetonka 61-49 at the Breakdown Tip-Off.

I don't blog often. Since this blog post will be shared by more people than normal , I would suggest to a new reader that you read my previous posts . There are only a few , and SO much has changed since my last post almost a year ago. This new post is inspired by a Super Mom. We'll just call her " mom to Aiden" . We "know" each other through facebook . She and a bunch of other parents I have recently "met" have great FB pages ..pages that really GET being a parent to autistic children. I understand them , they understand me. We do draw strength from each other . If you read my older post on this blog entitled " shitting rainbows and butterflies" you will see that as early as last year I felt all these other parents of disabled kids were sniffing some kind of drug that made them glad they got one with a spectrum disorder. Secret special club or something. Fast forward to now , and I have connected with real parents who are not afraid to let it all hang out.
Yes , we love our children more than anything..but autism is a struggle , it is scary . Very very scary. They get the uncertainty . Not the uncertainty that typical parents have..will he get into college? Will he do ok at sports ?Will my child be popular? Will she pick a good career ?Will she marry a good man? Our uncertainty is different . It is dark if you let it be. Will they be able to function after we are gone? Will they know how to love someone besides me? Will they ever drive? Will they be in assisted living or will they be independent ? You ( typical parent ) get what I am saying I'm sure. If you don't you need a soccer mom intervention group.
ANYWHO..moving right along ..mom to Aiden- whose page and posts have given me comfort , hope , ideas , and laughter, asked me to write to her about my kids and their story . So here it is. In blog form , because this shit is going to be loooooong!I suspect that only other parents of spectrum kids will read it through and I understand that too. No worries. It is as much for me and my new friends as it is for anyone.
I have 3 children that I love more than anything in this world. In age order :
Molly , my typical one. Well , truth is ,there is nothing typical about Molly. She is beautiful , wonderful , smart , outgoing . Her friends love her. She does great in Kindergarten. She is also quirky and has a very honed sense of humor and satire. She is my rock , she keeps me sane. And she has been unintentionally neglected . We are working on that and the improvements are already showing. We just did not give her the credit of being able to understand and to be ..in her own words.."disappointed that something is now wrong with the baby too" . What do you say to a 6 year old that says something like that? All the sudden you realize that shit , she had expectations too. She expected everything to be ok this time , as did we. Heck the reason we had a 3rd for the most part is because we felt there was a chance Oisin may never live totally independently and Molly would appreciate having another sibling to lean on . Someone who might give her nieces and nephews ( hey Oisin might do that too , not discounting that possibility , just trying to let you into my head here) . Someone else to visit and possibly care for Oisin when she was tired or had it with him.
So , she dropped the "disappointed in the baby" bomb and we went on to explain that we are not "disappointed" IN the baby , but yes we are disappointed that it is obvious he has a long road of therapy and uncertainty in front of him too. I told her she has two brothers who have special needs. Which is a great way to say" disabled "to the world because it is so PC , but a terrible way to convey it to a 6 year old. All she heard was "special" . This lead to her ,out of character , acting up in class. When I really sat down with her and probed her brain deeply she finally took a big sigh and said " guess I'm special too , and I need therapy" . Big palm face slap here. Of course it seems fun to her. They have cool contraptions. People with cool toys come to the house .They go to school and swing and climb into ball pits . Shit , Peadar has a fucking trapeze in his sensory room in his school! What kid would not feel left out of being special and in therapy?
Sat her down , forgot about all the PC nicey nice, and laid it on the line for her. They need therapy because they are not functioning as they should be. Oisin should be playing ball , having conversations with us , he should have an obsession like dinosaurs or something rather than kitchen utensils. Instead at 4 1/2 he is just learning how to look a person he meets in the eye and say "hi" . Shit Molly , this sucks?? Doesn't it? Peadar should be walking , pointing to airplanes in the sky , saying momma dadda and about 10 to 20 other words. He's not . That , Molly , is why Oisin gets a therapist after school and why Peadar has 5 therapists coming in and out of the house all the time and why his "school" looks like an indoor playground/gymnastics stage. At this point I am crying and so is she.
She got it though. She understood. Loud and clear. Sometime 3 weeks ago I was honest with my "typical" child , and she and I became a lot closer. Her improvement in school was immediate and she holds her head a bit higher at home. She asked to take a half day to go watch Peadar get his therapy so she can learn how to play with him at home , to help. I said yes. She also noticed that Oisin IS getting better , he plays with her now , says her name , he hugs her , and he bravely goes to the second floor with her when she is afraid of monsters ( one advantage of lack of imaginative play ..no monsters under the bed) . She said " my brother is liking me now , he is getting better from all that therapy he gets " Yes honey , he is . Sorry I underestimated how it all effects you , it won't happen again. I love you so much it makes my heart hurt. I promise I will never keep you uninvolved again.
Next -Oisin! ( pronounced OH-sheen) Oisin was born healthy , seemed a typical infant. He did everything just fine , he was early on all his physical milestones. He crawled at 4 months . He walked then ran by the end of his 11 month. He smiled and played with us . Stuff was missing though. Nothing glaring , nothing that even the pediatrician picked up on. Just little red flags. It took too long to get his attention sometimes. He hated books , did not really "play " with toys. He liked common household things better . He would carry around something like salad tongs as if it was a favorite stuffed animal. He did not point. I called early intervention when he was 11 months old because of those things. They evaluated him and said he was fine. He had about 5 words , understood some commands. They said to call back if he was not pointing by 15 months or so . When he was 15 months old ( and still not pointing ) he came down with the H1N1 Flu . It was that first year it was around. He was SO sick. Then he was gone. He lost his words , he stopped listening . He no longer went to the fridge when we said "yogurt" . He no longer shouted NA-nana when he wanted a banana. The doc said to give it a few weeks since viruses can knock it out of a toddler. Well , 8 weeks later EI was back and this time he qualified with flying colors. No expressive or receptive language to speak of ( pun loosely intended ) . On to ABA therapy! On to OT ! We were going to get this sorted by the time he was 3 so he could go to regular old preschool . He had no other signs of autism at that time. I do think it still would have happened without the flu , or vaccines , or whatever. I think the sickness just sped up his ASD timeline , the same way vaccines do it for others, if that makes any sense. I believe it is genetic and will happen anyway , just as soon as a trigger gets in there. Same way some who smoke get lung cancer , while some live to be 90. Genetics. Genetics can suck it sometimes.
Looking back now there were other things. He did not notice his big sister Molly . I don't mean he stayed away from her and did not want to play with her , I mean she may have well been invisible. Now that we look back and remember , and now that relatives and friends feel comfortable being honest ( WTF is that about anyway?) , it turns out that every person besides me and my husband ( and on occasion my dad) might have well been invisible. We did not notice that aspect of it per say ..mostly because he was so affectionate and loving and playful with us..his parents. And my dad . He always has played with my dad.Now we look back and remember these things. We did not notice everything back then . Wish we did.
Ok , so , some kids don't start talking a lot until they are 3 . Boys especially ( eyes rolling here..when you have an affected kid you meet throngs of people who know boys that did not speak until they were 3..or 4….or 20 , AND THEY WERE FINE .Sigh , they mean well) . We went to Ireland to see my husband's family when he was 2 years and 3 months old and that was the first time people started noticing that Oisin was not noticing them. No matter what. They started asking and we acknowledged it and proudly said " he gets lots of therapy and will be fine!" Just to digress a moment ..prior to this trip to Ireland, ONE friend of mine , one , answered me honestly when I asked her if Oisin seemed ok. He was 16 months old or so. She cared enough about me and my family to be brave enough to be honest and say she thought something was up. I love her for it. So if anyone ever asks you that same question , be gentle , be honest , and be ready to be supportive and listen. Odds are that is what they want , not to just be placated . Odds are , if a mom feels the need to ask , then something IS going on. Be a good friend or relative and be gently honest. Ok , back to the story.
Oisin turns 2 1/2 .Then 2 3/4 . Still no words , no interaction with his environment. We kind of worry now at this point..and we kind of got pregnant again.On purpose , but ….you know.
During my pregnancy his sensory issues started surfacing. Before age 2 1/2 Oisin had no "typical" signs of autism like hand flapping , toe walking , spinning , scripting ( repeating words without knowing their meaning or purpose) . He was just a late talker ..mixed expressive receptive disorder. Intelligent , normal to advanced cognitive skills . Liked to play with his parents ( up until age 3 kids often play side by side rather than with each other , so he was not late at that , yet..according to the therapists) . As he neared his 3rd birthday , it started. Noising , which is a series of whining noises and clicks and inappropriate bursts of laughter and stuff . Kind of like Leonardo DiCaprio's character in What Is Eating Gilbert Grape . The hand flapping started. Oh God , not hand flapping . That universal sign that screams autism. Severe head banging , toe walking , finger flicking , licking the rug , licking everything to explore it , sever temper explosions ( and no , your neurotypical 3 or 4 year does not have the same type of meltdown. They just don't , ok? ) . This ALL arrived just before and just after Oisin's 3rd birthday.
His 3rd birthday SUCKED.I had just given birth 18 days before to Peadar who promptly turned blue minutes after birth and then spent the next year in and out of the hospital . NICU , regular hospital , intensive care , EEGS , MRIs …but I'll get to him later. I was emotional. Oisin was just diagnosed as being more affected than we originally thought ,and autistic. He was 3 and still not talking , not reacting when you said "daddy's home" . He was feral , he was breaking everything in the house. I mean , like , the furniture man ,and the walls. Every day.
But my God did I love him. He loved me. That was glaringly obvious.Much to our delight , he loved the new baby! I never expected that gift from him. He was gentle. He said "aww baby" ( his first phrase actually) . He went out of his way not to knock into him or hurt him. He willingly shared my lap with him and often fell asleep on my lap with him. Both my arms filled with baby boys. I can still feel how great that felt. To this day Oisin is still wonderful to his baby brother. I have no worries that he will so much as stub a toe on him. Because Oisin is sweet , that is why. So with all that goodness shining through the medical rodeo that was the baby's first year , here is why Oisin's 3rd birthday sucked.
Nobody called. Not one person. EVERYBODY called on Molly's 2nd , 3rd , 4th birthdays . Not a soul called on Oisin's. I knew why. He does not speak. He does not understand. He does not know what a birthday is , let alone that he is having one. So nobody called.As much as I love the people who did not call and understand why they felt the call with the mock " is Oisin there?" was not necessary , I would just like to say thank you very much for making a postpartum mom of a difficult baby and autistic 3 year old cry. Thanks for that HUGE punctuation mark for the whole 3rd birthday milestone.
Except for my dad . He was here , and he went with me to Sports Authority so I could buy my son a giant outdoor trampoline on his birthday. My husband stayed home with everyone so I could get out for a bit ( the baby was only a few weeks old and prone to turning blue and needing to be revived.How fun.) . My husband is a superstar too , in case I forget to mention that. But , this is my blog so let's just talk about MY feelings hahahaha !
Digressing …Oisin..3rd year of life. He started a wonderful program in our public school that year. An ABA based full day, 5 day a week program. They have made progress with him these last 1 1/2 years years when nobody else could. They genuinely love and care for him. I can feel it , and I know it because Oisin happily goes into their arms. Props to them. They are the only reason I still live in town and will continue to live in town.People in the upper ( read , wealthier) districts in Bergen County are making noise about wishing their special needs kids could get in here. So the North Arlington Special Ed program people , all of them , should be very proud of what they have put together. This is not to detract from the therapists with EI. They have always been great and sincere , hard working. But the 3 hour a week program they set up for him was not working. There was only one therapist with EI that changed up the therapy with Oisin because she saw it was not working in its present state of rigidity ( ABA can be rigid) . She was the only one I ever saw get results with him. Yes , Laurie , if you are reading this, it is you! 🙂
As good as they are at Washington , Oisin's progress has been agonizingly slow until just recently. He was making progress though , I feel that without them he would have continued to not improve . His autistic like behavior has continued to emerge during his third year and into his 4th..but there are also so many improvements that I feel like we can survive ,and even have a shot at him having a conversation with us someday. He may need help doing it ( speak board or Ipad or something ) or he may not need help doing it. He is so smart , he is adorable , he has a sense of humor , he knows how to read emotion on people's faces , he likes to play with other kids now if they initiate , and most importantly he is bonding with his sister Molly. He hugs her , calls out to her , protects her from the monsters upstairs. He is starting to understand what we are saying to him ( oh , thank you God) . He still can't understand or answer something like " how was school " or "did you go to school" ..but he can now repeat "schoooooool " with a smile when you talk about it to him. 4 weeks ago he couldn't. He is arriving , he is going to talk to us , I know it. The autism symptoms , signs ,stims , ritualistic behavior , severe hyper activity is still there but I don't care. My son can now somewhat indicate he enjoys school when I mention it. Oh , and he is almost potty trained! He can also label all his body parts. He says "ears" with a strong Brooklyn accent. Adorable! ( no we're not from Brooklyn)
Then there is this underlying fear that it will go away again . Like that movie Awakenings .Because he has made this kind of limited progress before only to lose the skill. This has a different feel to it though. It feels like genuine growth rather than a learned behavior. Fingers crossed .
He counts , knows his letters , his sight words , his colors , his body parts , his people. He says "Hi Grandma" now , he tries to make people laugh. That is such a good sign! He also obsessively plays with water , screeches out of nowhere , is severely hyper , still does not understand 80% of what you say around him , can speak to get his needs met but nothing else yet , he shuts out the lights after you turn them on over and over and over infinity…he pinches affectionately in an obsessive manner ( this will be the end of me – I hate being pinched) . But , he plays with people that come over now , he notices animals now ( never did before) . He strips. He is always naked at home. He only eats chicken nuggets , waffles , and fruit. He is brilliant at figuring out how things work. He is super athletic , super strong for his size . He can't follow directions to play a sport yet , but he will.
So that is Oisin in a nutshell. On to the baby. Baby Peadar ( pronounced Padd-er) .
"That's a boy" . I remember my husband saying that softly with emotion and wonder when they pulled Peadar out ( 3rd c section ). He was our surprise. We did not "find out what we were having" It was special . It was planned c section and very relaxed and beautiful ( the other 2 were emergency C sections) . I picked the radio station. He was born to "One Way Or Another" by Blondie . His dad announced his gender , his dad picked his name ( Peadar is Irish for Peter) . Peadar then proceeded to turn blue. The nurses brought him around and he was fine , but one knowledgeable nurse said " this fella is going to give us a hard time I think" . Ok , not too worried yet. Babies pull that shit after they are born sometimes. On to tying my tubes while Angus Young belts out Highway To Hell ( I picked classic rock as my Pandora let's give birth music station).
Things were ok for one and one half days. Peadar was nursing . He was alert , he was "sproingy" like a newborn should be. I gave him his 11 pm nursing and sent him back in to the nursery. Back to the nursery . That will haunt me forever. He had to stay in the nursery with the other babies because I had a C section ,and my husband could not sleep in the hospital because nobody would stay with Oisin , the autistic one , over night. This does piss me off because ,I mean.. he was prone to tantrums yes..but he was 30 pounds and not an ax murder or anything. He has never been violent towards a person. Just objects. But , everyone is afraid to have to watch him. So the new baby goes into the nursery at 11pm.
They bring him back in 2am . He is groggy and won't eat. They tell me that he "had another one of those blue spells like he did right after birth" .Great. I feel horrible. He turned blue ( well , dusky gray according to them ..they thought he had died) and I was not there. I know had I been holding him I would have noticed, and I would have fixed it before he was pale and gray( I know this because we found out the cause later down the road ,and you can tip them out of it before they are gray around the mouth). The doctor checked out his vitals , he was fine , sometimes babies do this tricky stuff that scares us.
They brought him back to the nursery and assured me a nurse would be staring at him from that point on. He had no more blue spells , but he would not eat. He was listless . It was like a switch went off. They wanted to give him a bottle with formula because it was easier for him to drink than to latch , and they really wanted him to eat to see if he would perk up. I refused and instead tried to fruitlessly pump more than just a little colostrum for the bottle. And this is where I will go off a bit on the breast feeding Nazis. Yes , breast is best and I believe that wholeheartedly. I also believe that nurses in the nursery are SOMETIMES too quick to try a bottle with a newborn to solve minor issues that nature will sort out , like jaundice. I was an indoctrinated , card carrying member of the Boob Nazis. So I would not let them "ruin" the establishment of breast feeding by stuffing him with formula. Well , I was wrong. They brought him in again after a nap, after another exhausting bout of trying to get him to nurse and latch again..and his blood sugar had crashed to TEN. He was in trouble. The lactation consultant who coached me to "not listen to the nurses" was not around..good thing because I would have slapped her. Note to all new moms. Yes , the LCs are awesome and knowledgeable , but sometimes ..well , often times actually ..the nurse has handled about 60,000 babies to the LCs 100 clients that she has under her belt , and her education is just a TAD bit more medical oriented . So be open minded to the fact that nurses are smart , and LCs can be wrong sometimes. Off my soapbox.
So the low blood sugar led to an emergency IV in my baby's tiny hand , and it led to formula feeding ANYWAY because sometimes sick or early or otherwise not average newborns do in fact need more than what mom can supply . He was admitted to the NICU. He had no other blue episodes in the hospital , but he was changed. He was listless. Adorable , but listless. His MRI showed mild PVL. PVL is damage to the white matter of the brain , due to lack of oxygen that occurs either during birth , in utero , or right after birth. His was mild , and the amount of white matter affected directly correlates to the amount of damage that is caused. So we were looking at mild here , ok , check.PVL is the leading cause or cerebral palsy. Low blood sugar so soon after birth can also cause issues. So , lots of unknowns here folks.
He came home on an apnea monitor , and I will spare you what will turn this novel into something the length of Finnegan's Wake. Basically , he was in and out of the hospital for more blue episodes , one we called 911 for .Over a period of 1 year. MRIs ,EEGs ,swallow tests . Turns out he has vaso vagal syncope , which basically means he turns blue and faints when he is pissed off. It is usually the 10 months old and up crowd that develop it..he was young to have it , but he did. It MAY have caused some damage that day in the nursery because he was not quite full term ( 37 weeks) . Once a baby is full term they can withstand to lose oxygen for up to 2 or 3 minutes before any damage is done. Before that though , they are more susceptible.The super low blood sugar that the lactation consultant Rah Rah Shish Boom bah-ed us into was also low enough to cause issues , maybe.
Through his 6 months he was behind in motor skills ( Molly was too though , and she caught up fine) ..we were already in EI and he was getting physical therapy. He was so social with everyone , smiling and engaging with strangers , with his sister , smiled at his brother..and these are all things Oisin never did , so there was a bit of relief there. Not for long though. As he grew his delays became more pronounced. They continue to become more pronounced. At 18 months old he has a global delay to the point that he is ,across the board , operating at a 6 to 9 month level. He is progressing , just slooowly. Most notable recently is his attention is becoming hard to get. Uh oh , not this again
Well the truth is we don't know anything with Peadar yet. At 18 months he is not pointing , babbling much , and he has no words and very little understanding of words. The thing is though , he is across the board 6 to 9 months..so his language abilities are not necessarily "behind" for a 6 to 9 month old. You see , Oisin had all these normal and typical abilities with a glaring lack of speech/communication. But Peadar , well , he is Global Developmental Delay ( ton ton toooon) .
If 6 months from now he is functioning at a 12 to 15 month level including speech like a 12 to 15 month old , we are in good shape. Hopeful at least. However if he continues to grow his motor skills but the words and sounds and understanding do not come , then we are dealing with whatever Oisin has with some additional delays thrown in..maybe caused by his birth episodes . We just don't know. I'm afraid to say it or type it..but I do feel like his physical growth is starting to outpace his language skills . We just have to wait. We just have to work hard.
And oh ,we work hard. Peadar is getting 17 hours per week of PT , OT , DI , ABA , and a few other letters thrown in there.
Oisin did not even start therapy until almost 20 months , and then he only got 3 hours a week. Until he got to Washington School . Again , thank goodness for their program.
Peadar also has sensory issues through the ROOF ( remember , Oisin's were not evident until age 3) . He postures , twitches , obsessively rubs his face on things , bites , pulls hair ( poor Molly gets the brunt of it) he can't eat any solids , as he gags. He still drinks formula and eats level 2 pureed baby food ( for – you guessed it – 6 to 9 month olds ) . He does not respond to some noises , but freaks out over others. He hates his hands touched. We do feeding therapy , sensory brushing , deep tissue massage , sensory swings , ball pits .. the list goes on and on.
And I swear the unknown is the worst part of it all.
Hopefully the earlier start with Peadar's therapy will make a difference? I don't know but we are sure going to try , and we are going to keep going forward with Oisin , hard as we can.
If you read this book I just wrote either you have affected children too , or you really want to know what it is like to have one. Hope I helped impart a little feeling in any event. Thanks for reading.

My body aches all over, but it is more pronounced in my upper chest, behind my breastbone.
Heart Chakra.
I am trying to eat good foods, to stay away from the junk and sugar. Don't really even want the junk right now--so the good foods will keep me going and on an even keel.
When I can eat.
I miss the Apollo archetype, the Golden Boy that was the personification of all I could never have nor ever be because I wasn't born at the right conjunction of stars and planets and social class.
It wasn't that I was never pretty enough--it was more that the world I grew up in was far too disordered to give me what I needed to be good enough. But it's always much easier to say that I'm not pretty enough. Pretty is a superficial quality and easily quantifiable. Disorder, chaos, and the sense of "trailer trash" can be hidden behind the prettiness, but is like a cheap perfume that lingers in a cloud after your presence is gone.
They always know it.
I would like to cry, but I can't. That's nothing new. I'm not someone who cries all that often. I didn't cry much at my mother's funeral. Sometimes I can only cry at movies--at the depictions of someone else's hurt and sorrow because I compartmentalize mine so well that I don't conciously even know it's there.
It lurks behind my eyes and in my body. In my mind and my hands I am working, doing things, making things happen, making the next career move and the Next Big Step in my life transpire.
If I keep busy, keep my Eyes on the Prize, I won't t have time for feelings. They can be in a box in the back of a room somewhere in my brain. I can work on improving my Self and my Standing In The Community by building a solid reputation as a fairly decent freelance writer.
And I won't have time for sex because I'll be too busy.
I miss the crashing of bodies and the warmth of another in my space; breathing hard like a marathon runner and a heartbeat right up against mine.
I miss sex that was like heroin.
I miss it so bad that I can't even look at nor touch another.
I have to close that energy gap in my heart chakra. Let it heal over like a scraped knee. Don't pick the scab. Let it peel away naturally.
If I ignore it all, maybe it won't hurt as much. Maybe it will just feel like I'm getting over the flu. Maybe it will heal up and go away without me ever knowing it.
Maybe it will be over and gone before I know it.

The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami on Thursday again shunned the invitation to appear before the Senate committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters. It was the second time the Attorney General avoided sitting face-to-face with Senators to address issues on the suit he filed against principal officers of the Senate on alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order.
The committee members refused to hear submissions of the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Prosecution, Mr Okoi Obono Ubla, who was supposedly representing Malami. Senators present at the meeting were stunned to discover that instead of the AGF appearing or sending a direct representative from his office, it was an aide to Buhari that showed up. Provoked by the show of disrespect for the red chamber, chairman of the committee, Senator David Umaru (Niger East) declined to hear his submission, stressing that the invitation was to the Chief law officer of the federation and not to the President.
"We had hoped that his presence here would have shed more light on the case which is already pending before the Federal Capital Territory Court, the person who came is not answerable to the Attorney General of the Federation, but to the President and so we cannot take him", he insisted. The Committee, out of anger, described the action by the Attorney General as "a slap in the face". The Attorney General had earlier explained that his appearance before the Senate was unnecessary since the matter they invited over is already in the court. He had asked for time from the Senators to honour their subsequent invitation while he eventually failed to show up.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Babachir, had in a statement on Wednesday told the Senators to stop blaming the executive as the mastermind of the litigation against the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy Ike Ekweremadu on the case of alleged forgery. The SGF debunked insinuation that the Presidency was denigrating the Senate as an institution by arraigning its principal officers in court, insisting rather that it is Saraki and Ekweremadu who should answer the charged preferred against them on the case of forgery

Barletta protests SHINE cuts
Congressmen Lou Barletta, R-Pennsylvania, and David Cicilline, D-Rhode Island, know the importance of funding afterschool programs, which positively impact the lives of thousands of children and their families annually.
The pair, on Wednesday, sent a letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney requesting that the administration strongly reconsider any proposals to eliminate the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which provides federal funding for afterschool programs such as SHINE.
SHINE is a proven successful educational program in Carbon, Luzerne and Schuylkill counties that Barletta has championed with state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Luzerne/Carbon. Nearly half of SHINE's funding comes from the 21st CCLC program.
"We write to express our deep concerns over reports that the president's Fiscal Year 2018 budget request will include elimination of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program," both lawmakers wrote. "This critical program provides a direct funding stream to allow children to have access to afterschool programming. We ask that you reconsider this misguided proposal."
Rachel Strucko, director of the SHINE program in Carbon and Schuylkill counties, agreed.
"The decision by President (Donald) Trump to eliminate 21st Century Community Learning Center Programs funding in his 2018 budget would be devastating for thousands of children and families across not only the commonwealth, but the country as well," she said Thursday.
"SHINE's return on investment has been well documented over the last 10 years. We are confident in Congressman Barletta and his relentless advocacy for 21st Century Community Learning Center funding.
"The SHINE Afterschool program is ready and willing to provide any additional information relative to continuing our powerful advocacy for the children and families of our three counties," she added.
This is not the first time that the 21st CCLC program has been slated for elimination.
Beginning in February 2015, Barletta began working to restore its funding by successfully negotiating 14 changes to a House bill that eliminated the program.
He also established a record of support for afterschool programs in the House Education and Workforce Committee.
On the House floor, Barletta spoke in support of his own successful amendment that requires school districts to report to state agencies on the use of Title I money for afterschool activities to further demonstrate the importance of such programs.
When the legislation reached the conference committee, Barletta also sent a letter to lead House and Senate negotiators imploring them to preserve the 21st CCLC program. As a result, the 21st CCLC program was reauthorized on a bipartisan basis under the Every Student Succeeds Act.
"SHINE has a record of success when it comes to providing kids with educational opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have had and benefiting families in northeastern Pennsylvania who balance work and raising their kids in a healthy environment," Barletta said. "It is critical that we continue to support afterschool programs like SHINE, which have proven invaluable to so many families in our community. I lookforward to working with the administration to restore this important funding."

Hi Pretties ,
Yesterday Friday 1st April 2016, I attended the Isa Dora masterclass that was held in the Crescent Shopping Centre Limerick. This was a FREE Spring makeup masterclass with Beauty Guru and TV presenter Triona McCarthy. This FREE event was packed full of
Tips, Tricks, beauty advice Q&A sessions and lots of fun
I was delighted to personally met the super lovely Triona McCarthy herself. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the excellent makeup advice. I had so much fun watching Triona work what can only be described as magic on one of the lucky models picked from the audience.
I was very lucky myself to get a little touch-up from Triona. My blusher needed a little more pow and beauty Guru Triona McCarthy touched me up beautifully using Isa Dora blusher . I had such an amazing experience chatting to Triona and Fiona Cooke about beauty top tips, Isa Dora makeup and what it's like to be working Mommies!
Of course with such a fabulous event like this , there was a quick check-in with social media. I was over the moon when Triona so kindly, took a little video of us together on snap-chat , introducing me as Aoibhinn from prettiesandpearlsblog .
Fiona was very kind and took pictures on both our snap-chat accounts, I'm so thrilled to have met these two most genuinely lovely lovely woman.
You can keep up-to-date with all of Triona's events and beauty advice on snap-chat handle @trionamccarthy3 and myself on @prettyandp
A part of this wonderful FREE masterclass was Triona and Fiona were asking the audience , for amazing beauty tips/tricks they they have never heard of.
I was completely elated when a follower of prettiesandpearls (Jean) contacted me and told me she WON a 150.00 euro GoodieBag worth of ISA DORA makeup by using one of my top tips from my blog during the week! The top tip was from my Blog
"Life Hacks" Girls Night Out Guide
The top tip Jean shared to WIN her amazing ISA DORA GoodieBag was 'to spray deodorant on your feet before a big night-out to prevent odor and uncomfortable sweaty feet'.(did you know that one?)
I was so happy to hear from Jean and her wonderful news, and of course I am delighted my "life hacks" blog has helped one working Mama already, in anyway. I used another top tip myself 'to spray hairspray on your tights before heading out , as this joins the fibres together preventing snags or ladders' (another one to remember).
I was so kindly given a GoodieBag for my unknown pearl of wisdom. I will be writing a separate blog and review on some of the ISA DORA beautiful products and keeping aside some gorgeous bits for giveaway prizes on prettiesandpearls Facebook page.

Customs requirements of United States of America
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Website: http://www.cbp.gov/
Address: 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20229
Telephone: 202-325-8000
The United States of America (USA) is a federal republic composed of 50 states, situated between Canada and Mexico, with the state of Alaska in the northwestern and the state of Hawaii comprising an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The USA is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, United Nations and other international organizations.
USA tariffs are not unusually high by world standards. The US Customs Service and a number of government agencies regulate goods imported to the USA. Non-compliance may result in delays, extra costs, litigation and even prohibition.
The rate of duty customs assesses on a particular commodity imported is not binding for future shipments of the same or similar merchandise. USA customs has a binding ruling programme whereby importers can request a written ruling as to the proper classification and applicable rates of duty.
Customs brokers are licensed by the US Department of the Treasury and assess tariff classification, quota compliance and anticipation of difficulties in the entry of products you export to the USA.
Tariff classification
All goods that enter the USA are categorised according to the Harmonised Tariff Schedule. Classification determines how much duty will be collected. It is a complicated process requiring the application of the General Rules of Interpretation: the section, chapter and subheading and explanatory notes. The importer is responsible for properly classifying merchandise before entry.
If you are unsure how to properly classify an item, a request for a binding rule can be made to US Customs. The rulings will be binding at all ports of entry unless revoked by the Headquarters' Office of Regulations and Rulings. The Customs Service will not issue binding rulings in response to oral requests. Oral inquiries may be made to customs offices regarding existing binding rulings that might cover your importation.
Non-tariff barriers
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations covering food (human and animals) exports to the USA have changed. Food exporters that do not comply with the Bioterrorism Act regulations will have their goods refused entry.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has information relating to the following categories they monitor/regulate:
- food
- drugs
- medical devices
- radiation emitting products
- vaccines, blood and biologics
- animal and veterinary
- cosmetics
- tobacco products
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) provided the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) with significant new regulatory and enforcement tools as part of amending and enhancing of several CPSC statutes. The CPSIA included provisions addressing:
- lead
- phthalates
- toy safety
- durable infant or toddler products
- third-party testing and certification
- tracking labels, imports and ATVs
- civil and criminal penalties
The CPSIA defines the term 'children's product' and generally requires that products:
- comply with all applicable children's product safety rules
- be tested for compliance by a CPSC accepted accredited laboratory, unless subject to an exception
- have a written Children's Product Certificate that provides evidence of compliance
- have permanent tracking information affixed to the product and its packaging where possible
The CPSIA also requires domestic manufacturers or importers of non-children's products to issue a General Certificate of Conformity (GCC). These GCC's apply to products subject to a consumer product safety rule or any similar CPSC rule, ban, standard or regulation enforced by the Commission.
The CPSIA lists special requirements in Section 104 for certain durable infant and toddler products, including cribs.
Product liability
The US vendor might require product liability insurance and adequate coverage should be acquired in order to protect yourself. Before automatically seeking product liability insurance, try to evaluate the amount of risk and what level of insurance, if any, is necessary. For example, if you sell 10 to 15 pieces of highend jewellery each year through a few boutique retailers, you may decide that product liability insurance is not a necessary investment.
Import restrictions
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been entrusted with enforcing hundreds of laws for 40 other government agencies, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These agencies require that unsafe items are not allowed to enter the United States. CBP officers are always at ports of entry and assume the responsibility of protecting America from all threats.
Restricted means that special licenses or permits are required from a federal agency before the item is allowed to enter the United States, these include:
- firearms
- certain fruits and vegetables
- animal products, animal by products and some animals
Quota Enforcement and Administration
Import quotas control the amount or volume of various commodities that can be imported into the United States during a specified period of time. Quotas are established by legislation, Presidential Proclamations or Executive Orders. Quotas are announced in specific legislation or may be provided for in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Product certification, labelling and packaging
The Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) all have guidelines that must be met depending on the product.
All imported products are inspected by US Customs to ensure that appropriate packing and labelling requirements are met.
Goods subject to different rates of duties should be packed separately unless they can be easily identified and separately both physically and on the import documents.
Packages containing mixed goods may otherwise be assessed for total duty at the highest rate applicable to any of the contents.
Strict regulations govern both the distribution in commerce and labelling of any packaged consumer commodity, including the manner of specifying and indicating net contents.
Food items must list all ingredients in order from most to least prevalent and must list nutritional information.
FDA does not have a pre-market approval system for cosmetic products or ingredients, with the important exception of colour additives and cosmetics and products and ingredients.
FDA maintains the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP) for cosmetic establishments and formulations. This program is voluntary, but it is highly recommended.
Textiles and apparel must list country of origin, fibre content and fabric care instructions. The US Federal Trade Commission has produced a guide to help companies comply with federal labelling requirements for textiles and wool products. Threading Your Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts.
Apparel items are subject to labelling and flammability requirements and articles containing fur or wool have additional labelling requirements.
Labeling for foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals should be submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration for approval, before shipments are made.
US customs laws require each imported article produced abroad to be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly and permanently as the nature of the article permits, with the English name of the country of origin, to indicate to the ultimate purchaser in the USA the name of the country in which the article was manufactured or produced. Articles which are otherwise specifically exempted form individual marking are an exemption to this rule.
Documentary requirements
The US Customs authorities are very precise about import documentation being provided completely and accurately. Any error can cause major problems, risking delays or seizure of goods. The services of a competent customs broker is therefore strongly recommended.
Documentation requirements can be extensive and may include commercial invoice, certificate of origin, bill of lading, packaging list and special certificates.
The US Customs Department suggests that to speed customs clearance, the import community and the Customs Service have created the Customs Automated Commercial System (ACS) (http://www.cbp.gov/trade/acs), which electronically receives and processes entry documentation and provides cargo disposition information. Cargo carriers, customs brokers and importers may use the system, which reduces clearance time from day to hours or even minutes. Persons entering into the importing trade who intend to file their own entry documentation with customs are encouraged to explore this method of transacting business.
The US Customs Service suggests the following approach for faster customs clearance:
Include all information required on your customs invoice.
Prepare your invoices carefully. Make sure that your invoices contain the information that would be shown on a well-prepared packing list. Type them clearly and allow sufficient spaces between lines. Keep the data within each column.
Mark and number each package so that it can be identified with the corresponding marks and numbers appearing on your invoice.
Show a detailed description on your invoice of each item of merchandise contained in each individual package.
Mark your goods legibly and conspicuously with the country of origin unless they are specifically exempted from marking requirements as is required by the marking laws.
Comply with provisions of any special laws of that may apply to your goods.
Observe the instructions sent to you by your customer in the USA with respect to invoicing, packaging, marking, labeling, etc.
Establish sound security procedures at your facility and while transporting your goods for shipment.
Consider shipping on a carrier participating in the Automated Manifest System.
If you use a licensed customs broker for your transaction, consider using a firm that participates in the Automated Broker InterfacPro-forma invoice.
Public health requirements
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the Animal Health division of APHIS regulates the importation of animal and animal-derived materials.
All meat and meat products must be processed in establishments approved by customs and must be covered by an appropriate certificate.
Imported livestock, including cattle, swine, horses and sheep and goat - as well as semen or embryos from these species - must be accompanied by a health certificate issued by an official of the exporting country. Similar requirements apply to poultry - including chickens, geese, ducks, pigeons and a number of other species.
Generally, a USDA veterinary permit is needed for materials derived from animals or exposed to animal source materials, including:
- animal tissues
- blood
- cells or cell lines of livestock or poultry origin
- RNA/DNA extracts
- hormones
- enzymes
- monoclonal antibodies for IN VIVO uses in non-human species
- certain polyclonal antibodies
- antisera
- bulk shipments of test kit reagents
- microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi
Health certificates indicating inspection and treatment are required for bees, live or dead, related products and beekeeping equipment.
Plants and plant products (including fruit and vegetables) are strictly controlled. Some are prohibited and others require permits from the USDA. Imports of these items must be covered by an appropriate certificate issued by the approved authority in the country of origin. In addition to possible inspection and disinfection, fruit and vegetables may be required to undergo prescribed treatments for fruit flies or other harmful insects as a condition of entry or to meet other special conditions.
Importation of milk and dairy products is subject to stringent regulations requiring import permits, licences and adherence to quotas and must comply with requirements of the USDA and APHIS. Livestock disease prevention requirements are necessary in addition to the requirements of the FDA.
Foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are subject to regulations governing standards, composition, use of colouring matters, labelling, printing and claims of efficacy.
Federal law requires all packaged foodstuffs to list ingredients on the label. Information concerning the nutrition value of the contents is also required.
