Asian parents.... they seem like any other type of parents... don't they? Well, I guess you're wrong. These are the people that start getting a whole load of us Asian kids upset. Here are some things that happened to me:
1. Not letting their kids play real sport, like rugby union, claming that it will affect their studies and it's too dangerous. Eventually, they'll let you play... but you gotta wait forever. 2. If you don't get good grades, you're screwed. They'll hit you and kill you until you promise to study harder for the next exam. 3. They don't care about your physical health and social life, they just care about your studies. 4. They want you to be a doctor/dentist. No way... 5. They want the best school for you... no matter if it's 2 hours away. 6. You got all A's and just one F in your report card. They'll kill you and belt you for that F. 7. Your parents see a girl hug you at the age of 16. They belt you because the girl hugged you. 8. You play games for over one hour. Asian parents will kill you for it. 9. Got into a sporting gala day? Asian parents wont let you go because they're worried about you missing out on a day of school. Gosh damn, it's only ONE DAY! 10. Every evening it's rice, rice, rice and more rice. 11. "Don't watch MTV, study! You're wasting your time on watching uselsss music videos!" says Asian parents. These are just 11 of thousands of wrong things that Asian parents do to you. From this, it is sensible to infer that a majority of Asian parents are just dickwads. I got 97% in my test, my Asian parents are going to kill me. - Typical Asian kid
I got a Satisfactory in my report... I'm dead. - Typical Asian kid dictated by Asian parents Fuck! I'm into summer school, when did I even register? - Asian kid |

Asian parents are not your typical white or any other race parents.. Here are the diffrences that make us asian teenagers more depressed then other people(this concerns 90% of the asians that are living in Canada or U.S)
1)We DO NOT get allowance 2)We DO NOT get to stay up till past 10pm supposivly due to affecting our grades 3)The only thing that our parents make for dinner is RICE AND FISH, RICE AND FRIED CHICKEN, RICE SOUP FRIED FISH, RICE MONGO FISH. 4)If you get below a B then they take something you love or like to do away from you until you get back up in next semester 5)THEY HIT US, mom bitch slaps, Dad throws you against wall or gets the belt and whips you until you start crying. 6)They CONTROL your life.. Your personality, what you believe in, your appearance.. and if you refuse what they tell you to do, they will take your computer away and ruin MY FUCKIN GAMING CAREER CAS IM ONLY ALLOWED 6 HOURS A DAY AND they didnt let me go to Dallas Texas which was $400 for plane that i was able to pay for myself that cud of ended up with 7 grand and it was during the summer break FFS >_< ......

(This applies to a majority of asian kids in the US) The reason Asian kids in are very depressed, here are the charateristics of them:
1. THEY ARE OBSESSIVE ABOUT YOUR GRADES. They want you to go to a good college like a UC or Harvard and stuff and get tons of scholarships and be rich lawyer or doctor. Here are grade when it comes to asian parents: A - Asian standard, the only acceptable grade. B - Bad C - Catastrophe D - Death F - F***'d Tip- DO NOT tell them you have a bad grade when they are in the kitchen! Most of my fellow asians in my town keep shoes near the kitchen area, if you tell an asian parent you bad grade in the kitchen you could get shoes thrown at you, you could get maimed by utensils and if they are near the knifes you are just plain screwed. 2.THEY ARE CONTROLLING. Who you are, what you wear, what you do- it's all up to them 3. THEY THINK ANYTHING YOU DO ASIDE FORM STUDYING IS A WASTE OF TIME. 4. THEY ARE ABUSIVE. It's simple, you don't meet up to their standards they have no problem in getting rid of you. 5. Rice. And fish. 6. If you have many possessions they will take them away. If you don't they will just take away your dignity. Asian kid: I got a freakin B on the test! I'm dead!
Friend who got an A and doesn't have Asian Parents: Listen! You can switch tests with me! It's a scantron! They will never know! Asian kid: We can't, they will find out somehow! I'm screwed either way! |

1) If you're on the computer for more than an hour (not studying)- bam they'll take away your computer away, ground you, punish you..whatever they feel like doing. more...
2) They want you to study..all day every DAY! They have some vision that kids will just decide to study all day in the summer for fun after they had to put up an entire school year of it! 3) They CONTROL your life, and most asians don't realize this until they read this. Asian parents control what you wear, who you hang out with, if you can do something, if u can't, what you look like; YOUR HAIRCUT? Actual conversation between and mom and asian boy. Mom: You need haircut, you look like girl. Boy: But I like my hair mom! Mom: No you need now1@@!@!@!@!! - drags boy to haircut salon - 4) They get ticked off really easy, Let me give you an example (PROVEN) Girl: it's not like I want to spend all day studying Dad: this is for your OWN GOOD, this wastes everybody's time, it doesn't help us!@!@ Girl: But I just --(cut off) Dad: 2!#@!#@#@!#@!@!@$#$#%#235%@ STOP COMPLAINING2!@!@ YOU ARE USELESS, YOU KNOW I COULD SEND YOU OFF TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND YOU CAN BE NO ONE21@!@!@!@!@!@!!@!#!@#$@!$!#$@#%$%$^%$^%@!#!@!#!@#@!$ 5) Their grade system A- only thing acceptable B- beating C- seriously kid, you better runaway now!

They are total douchebags that have total and utter control over your life. 1.
Asshole dad: YOU MUST GET HAIRCUT TODAY NOW! YOU HAIR TOO LONG! SO UGLY! Me: Why can't I look the way I want? Dad: YOU LOOK LIKE GIRL! DO YOU WANT PEOPLE THINK YOU GIRL?!!?!??!?!?! Me: How is 3 inch long hair girly? Dad: NO MATTER WHAT, YOU MUST GET HAIRCUT TODAY! OR I TAKE YOU LAPTOP AWAY! Me: ... *gets a lopsided haircut that makes me look like a fucking nerd. Asian parents fail. * 2. Faghead dad: Did you do your homework today? Me: Yeah Dad: did you do your homework today? Me: Yes. Dad: did you do your homework today? Me: YES!!! Dad: WHY YOU YELL? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO YELL AT ME! Me: Well obviously you couldn't hear me so I had to yell Dad: SHUT UP!!! Me: Fine... Dad: YOU ARE THE STUPIDEST KID EVER. *beats* 3. This is a true story.

Are people who gave birth to you and fed you so therefore they think they can control you. They play mind games, are passive aggressive, manipulative, and are generally just very negative people. Most asian parents have problems themselves and they tend to take it out on their kids either knowingly or unknowingly. Most asian parents are negative because they want to think the worse before it even happens. If you go out late at night to the movies or whatever, they would think you were partying and drinking instead. Although this may be true for some kids (sneaking out and doing drugs...etc) not all kids are like this. They tend to listen to their friends/relatives stories about bad stuff and they think that their own kids are bad too. They generalize wayy too much. Asian parents think their kids are bad if they get a B on their report card. They will act as if it's the end of the world if you don't get into: UCLA, USC, HARVARD, STANFORD, OXFORD, PRINCETON, or any other brand named schools that charges an arm and a leg to attend to. Unfortunately, many new asian parents that end up in America will do the same to their kids. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. The new generation of asian americans will never treat their kids the same... so therefore the chain will be broken. We will know better, listen to our kids, trust them, and be their guide rather than their dictator. There is hope for the next generation of american parents out there... Examples of Asian Parents:
Mom: I am your mother, you HAVE to listen to me. If I say jump you ask 'how high' Dad: Sometimes will beat you with a whip. (BTW, kids if this happens to you call the cops please. It's called child abuse) Both Parents: So and so got into Harvard, why didn't you get into Harvard? You're so stupid... studying on how to become a technician? What???? OMG, MY SON/DAUGHTER IS A FCKEN FAILURE. Mom talking to her 10 year old: Your sister got into a good school, has a good job, married a doctor, has 2 kids... what do you do huh?? Sit at home playing video games all day? Dad: Son, when you grow up you have to be better than everyone else. it's not enough that you succeed, everyone else must fail. |

The main cause of dispair in most asian teenagers' lives. Here are some major characteristics of asian parents: more...
1. They still enforce a FUCKING BED TIME for their children, even if they are in high school. 2. They almost never give their children money. 3. Whenever their kid gets a gift or money from someone else, the parents usually gives them to someone else. 4. The only hairstyles allowed for their children are bowl cut and buzz cut. 5. They force their children to do work and chores all day when they just watch asian movie series all day long. 6. The mom often bitch slaps her child when the child did something wrong" ie. spilled a couple of drops of milk on the floor. The dad punches/whacks/shoves intowall until the child starts crying for similar "offenses". 7. Anything lower than an A is considered a failure. If an asian child gets a B or something, he/she expects a beating at home. 8. There is no such thing as a good grade in an asian home. 9. Typical home made asian cuisine is rice, fish, chicken, and vegetables. Except that they are all poorly cooked and taste worse than partially digested milk. 10. If a male asian teenager's parents see him so much as TALKING with a girl, they will accuse him of having sex with her even if he was merely asking her for something like homework. 11. Asian parents often treat their children like they are 5 years old and claim that they do so because they "care" about their children. 12. They usually speak in Engrish. |

IGN Review (8.0 out of 10)
Players eager to partake in fast and frantic World War II dogfights were largely disappointed by the original Blazing Angels' pedigree. The mission objectives were lackluster, the artificial intelligence companions were too powerful, and the core of the game, air combat, was simply dull. Has Ubisoft...more

A drought in Louisiana has lowered the Mississippi River, leaving its southern tip awash in saline from the Gulf of Mexico and prompting health officials in Plaquemines Parish to issue a drinking water advisory.
"The water's perfectly safe to drink," said Guy Laigast, director of the parish's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, in a telephone interview Wednesday. "It's just got the elevated salt."
With the mighty Mississippi near its all-time low, the salty water has crept in as a wedge, he said. Because salty water is denser than fresh, it tends to collect at lower depths, he said.
But pipes that pull drinking water from the river tend to draw from those same depths, Laigast said.
The logical fix would be simply to raise the pipes, but that would be tough to do. "You're talking about large pipes that have been down there for years and years and years," he said.
The wedge has been moving up the Mississippi since early this month, reaching mile marker 89 -- signifying that many miles from the river mouth -- by Wednesday, Laigast said.
"You can taste a little salt water content," he said. "But it's nothing that's harmful."
Anyone on dialysis and/or low-sodium diets was urged to check with a health care provider about drinking parish water.
Salt, of course, is sodium chloride. Neither sodium nor chloride is considered a known health threat, the parish said, citing EPA data. Chloride, considered a secondary contaminant, could affect drinking water's taste, smell and color.
EPA's secondary maximum contaminant level for chloride is 250 mg/L. The maximum chloride detected in drinking water in the Port Sulphur area was 362 mg/L, it said.

Recommended Listening: Baltimore Schools Get First Big Funding Boost for Infrastructure Improvement in 40 Years
Baltimore public schools are receiving a new $1 billion infrastructure investment—the first funding the school district has seen to actually build new schools in almost 40 years, according to a recent interview on the Tom Joyner Morning Show with Bishop Douglas Miles, co-chair of BUILD and co-founding member of Baltimore Education Council. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley last week signed a law authorizing the funds for school construction and renovation. Eventually, 15 schools will be built and 35 will be repaired and renovated.
"The conditions in the schools have deteriorated," said Miles. "Boilers breaking down annually in the middle of the winter, buildings lacking windows, water undrinkable because it's lead-tainted—and our children deserve better than that."
A growing wealth of data shows a positive relationship between the quality of school buildings and student outcomes. Also, about 85 percent of the 85,000 students in Baltimore schools receive free or reduced-cost lunch, the city has the lowest graduation rates in the state and nearly 140 of its 162 public schools are in very poor condition.
This infusion of funds will help promote academic success for the city's students by decreasing education disparities. In the long-term it also has the potential to help improve the health of all Baltimore residents, as better education leads to better jobs, higher incomes, and longer, healthier lives. NewPublicHealth has previously illustrated the connection between education and health outcomes in an infographic.

March of Dimes Establishes Research Collaborative on Causes of Preterm Births
Three universities and four hospitals in Ohio have joined with the March of Dimes Foundation to establish a collaborative research program aimed at finding the unknown causes of premature birth. According to the March of Dimes, preterm birth is the most common and costly newborn health problem in the United States, affecting nearly half a million babies each year. It is also the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifelong health issues, including vision and breathing problems. Even babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. "The transdisciplinary approach will increase dramatically the rate of progress in understanding why some babies are born too soon. Ultimately our goal is to use this knowledge to develop effective therapies to prevent preterm birth and enable all pregnancies to proceed to full term," said " said Sam Mesiano, PhD, Site Director for the Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, and MetroHealth component of the collaborative. One of the focus aims of the research includes the sociobiology of racial disparities in preterm birth. African-American and Hispanic mothers have higher rates of preterm births than do whites.

House, Senate Consider Cuts to SNAP in Farm Bill Reauthorization
The U.S. House and Senate are each considering versions of the five-year Farm Bill reauthorization that would save money in part by cutting the budget for the supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps nearly 48 million Americans purchase food each year. The House version would cut $2 billion and the Senate version would cut $400 million, according to The Washington Post. The House version would also stop certain forms of automatic SNAP benefits. James S. Marks, Senior Vice President of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Group, said cutting SNAP benefits would violate the fundamental tenet of medicine to "first, do no harm." "Cutting SNAP is precisely the wrong prescription for our children and the nation's economic recovery. The notion that SNAP benefits are an overly generous handout could not be further from the truth," he wrote in The Huffington Post, adding "SNAP has the potential to be a public health tool that can help address the complex problems of hunger and obesity." Read more on nutrition.
CDC: High Rates of Unhealthy Behavior Persist
A new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that, overall, Americans aren't making much improvement in their health. About 60 percent are overweight or obese, about 60 percent drink, about 20 percent smoke and about 80 percent don't meet federal guidelines for exercise. "Changes have not been enormous," said report author Charlotte Schoenborn, a health statistician at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. "It's been a very, very slow process of changing awareness of personal choices for healthier ways of life." Added Rich Hamburg, deputy director of Trust for America's Health: "I think we're in a situation now where we're at a crossroads. We have two paths to go. We're hopeful that if we continue to invest in community-based prevention, if we promote healthy eating and active living, these rates will begin to decrease." Read more on CDC.
Stroke Awareness Month: There's an App for That, Too
May is Stroke Awareness Month, a good time to bump up the percentage of Americans who recognize the most common symptoms of a stroke from only 38 percent, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) survey. Speedily identifying stroke symptoms and calling for an ambulance is essential because people who get to an emergency room for treatment within three hours are healthier three months later than people for whom stroke care was delayed, according to the CDC.
New this year to help increase symptom awareness is a free smartphone app from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association called F.A.S.T. The acronym stands for common stroke symptoms and a critical call to action: Face drooping; Arm weakness; Speech difficulty; and Time to call 9-1-1. The app also includes a link to additional symptoms that bystanders and caregivers can access and a 9-1-1 button to call an ambulance. Using the 9-1-1 button saves time by not having to back out of the app to dial the number manually. And using the button also generates an automatic time stamp, which gives emergency room staff a good indication of when symptoms began. Some treatments can only be given within a specific time window.
Faces of Public Health: Susan Yee
A community needs assessment of a Chinese-American community in New York City several years ago found multiple barriers to physical activity for children and teens including parents unable to supervise kids at play because of long work hours, unsafe neighborhoods, limited knowledge or access to existing programs, financial hardship, inadequate support for physical activity in schools, limited time due to competing priorities such as academics, and too much time in front of video games, computer screens and television. To increase exercise time and options and help to reduce obesity rates among Chinese-American youth, public health professionals from the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center sought out funding from the New York State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to create the Chinatown JUMP (Joining Urban Partners for More Physical Activity) program.
>>Read more on New York's Health Improvement Plan, which sets out a plan for similar community health assessments and cross-sectoral collaborations in response to these findings.
Chinatown JUMP currently works with eight afterschool programs to incorporate daily physical activity into the curriculum of these academic programs, blending activity with learning. Program goals include:
- Promote healthier and fit children by educating them and their families about the correlation between exercise and staying healthy.
- Increase staff capacity to support students' healthier lifestyle through training and technical assistance.
- Establish an afterschool culture that supports physical activity as well as academic achievement.
The program works hard to incorporate parents' support and involvement as well. Participating students in iMove receive a community resource guide with information about free and low-cost recreational centers and public spaces in the neighborhood to share with their parents. Parents are also invited to workshops on the importance of physical activity and healthy eating habits.
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Susan Yee, Associate Director of Programs at the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, about Chinatown JUMP.
NewPublicHealth: What is the Chinatown JUMP program and what do you think sets it apart from other programs with similar goals?
Susan Yee: Chinatown JUMP's goal is to try to improve opportunities for more physical activity in the Manhattan Chinatown area in order to create sustainable changes within the community.

Devastation in Oklahoma, More Storms Possible
Following tornadoes in Oklahoma yesterday that killed and injured scores of people and leveled whole communities, the National Weather Service is warning that that severe weather could move eastward as far as the Gulf Coast and Northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday. "These are dangerous storms and we urge people to monitor the situation closely and be alert for severe weather warnings in their community," said Trevor Riggen, vice president of Disaster Operations and Logistics for the Red Cross. The Red Cross has created a free tornado app, available in English or Spanish, whose features include a high-pitched siren tornado warning alert that signals when an alert from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) tornado warning has been issued. The app, found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross, also includes an all-clear alert that lets users know when a tornado warning has expired or has been cancelled.

Cost, Other Factors May Keep African-Americans from Calling 911 when they have Stroke Symptoms
African-Americans often know the signs of stroke, but concerns about medical cost, ambulance response time and lack of familiarity with the need for prompt hospital care impacted whether they called 9-1-1 immediately, according to a new study of 77 African American community members in Flint, Michigan by researchers at the University of Michigan. The study was published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes. To encourage 9-1-1 calls even if a stroke victim is concerned about cost, the study authors recommended highlighting the reduction in post-stroke disability if treatment is given quickly.

Report: High SPF Sunscreens Not Any More Effective
Just in time for the Memorial Day Weekend, the Environmental Working Group has released its 7th annual Sunscreen Guide, which rates the safety and efficacy of more than 1,400 sunscreens, lotions, lip products and makeups that advertise sun protection. EWG researchers found that only 25 percent of products on the market in 2013 offer strong and broad protection and pose few safety concerns. "The vast majority of sunscreens available to the consumer aren't as good as most people think they are, but there are a handful of products that rise above the rest," said Sonya Lunder, senior research analyst at EWG and lead author of the report. Lunder says that's important because "despite an increasing awareness of the sun's risks, rates of melanoma have tripled over the past 35 years, with an annual increase of 1.9 percent per year since 2000." EWG says it thinks the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should push companies to stop selling high-SPF sunscreens (above 50+), which account for 1 in 7 products on the market. The FDA has said that it cannot vouch for any sunscreen above 30. According to Lunder, as a result of misleading and confusing marketing claims, consumers frequently misuse sunscreens and spend more time in the sun than they should, putting them at greater risk.

Call for Abstracts: Second National Health Impact Assessment Meeting
The Second National Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Meeting takes place September 24-25 in Washington, D.C., and the deadline for abstract submissions is fast approaching. The conference will bring together policymakers, public health professionals, HIA practitioners; community-based organizations; researchers and decision makers from non-health agencies all who may use or rely on the results of HIAs in the fields of planning, transportation, housing, agriculture, energy, environment, and education.
The planning committee for this year's meeting is currently seeking abstracts for a variety of sessions, particularly from presenters who will be releasing new research. Abstracts, due by Wednesday, May 29, should clearly state what new information will be presented and its impact on a specific sector or the field of HIA more generally.
Aside from the typical poster sessions and presentations, the HIA Meeting will also feature opportunities to dive deep on specific and cross-cutting topics.
Public Health News Roundup: May 20
CDC Issues First Comprehensive Report on Children's Mental Health in the United States
As many as one in five American children under the age of 17 has a diagnosable mental disorder according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report is the first expansive report on children's mental health ever done by the U.S. government and looked at six conditions:
- attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- behavioral or conduct disorders
- mood and anxiety disorders
- autism spectrum disorders
- substance abuse
- Tourette syndrome
The most common disorder for children age 3 through 17 is ADHD (7 percent) followed by behavioral or conduct problems (3.5 percent), anxiety (3 percent), depression (2 percent), and autism spectrum disorders (1 percent).
Five percent of teens reported abusing or being dependent on illegal drugs, 4 percent abused alcohol and 3 percent reported smoking cigarettes regularly. Boys were more likely than girls to have the disorders. Read more on mental health.
New PSAs Help Parents Talk to Younger Kids about the Dangers of Underage Drinking
"Talk. They Hear You," is a new national public service announcement (PSA) campaign from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to empower parents to talk to children as young as nine about the dangers of underage drinking. SAMHSA research shows that more than a quarter of American youth engage in underage drinking, and though there has been progress in reducing the extent of underage drinking in recent years, particularly among those aged 17 and younger, the rates of underage drinking are still unacceptably high, according to SAMHSA. A report from late last year shows that 26.6 percent of 12-20 year-olds report drinking in the month before they were surveyed and 8.7 percent of them purchased their own alcohol the last time they drank, despite the fact that all fifty states and the District of Columbia currently have laws prohibiting the purchase and use of alcoholic beverages by anyone under age 21.
"Even though drinking is often glamorized, the truth is that underage drinking can lead to poor academic performance, sexual assault, injury, and even death," said said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde.
The goal of the new PSA is to help parents start a conversation about alcohol before their children become teenagers. Read more on addiction.
Advocacy Groups Petition FDA to Ban Menthol Flavored Cigarettes
In response to a Citizen Petition by close to twenty health and tobacco control advocacy groups, the Food and Drug Administration has opened a docket for public comment on banning menthol in cigarettes. In 2009, according to the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, the lead group on the petition, Congress banned all flavors in cigarettes except menthol, and directed the FDA to decide whether continued sale of menthol cigarettes is "appropriate for public health." According to the petition, menthol cigarettes are the source of addiction for nearly half of all teen smokers. Read more on tobacco.
Study: Many Laws on Detecting Youth TBIs, But None on Preventing Them
While a growing number of major league sports teams have policies on concussion assessment and return to play, many youth and school sports leagues and teams do not have similar rules, despite thousands of sports-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) reported in children and adolescents every year.
Hosea H. Harvey, PhD, JD, Assistant Professor of Law in Temple University's Beasley School of Law, has just published an article in the American Journal of Public Health analyzing how this health issue is being addressed across the country. He found that there are laws dealing with concussions in youth sports in 44 states and D.C.—but none are focused on preventing the injuries. The laws only address detecting the injuries or preventing an additional injury after one has already occurred.
The study also revealed that many laws don't draw on evidence around what works. For example, most state laws establish a minimum 24-hour period of youth athlete removal, but there is no scientific agreement about the optimal minimal time someone who has suffered a sports-related TBI should be removed from play. The study utilized an open source dataset from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grantee Public Health Law Research called LawAtlas.

NewPublicHealth previously spoke with Harvey and Kerri McGowan Lowrey, JD, MPH, Senior Staff Attorney with the Network for Public Health Law — Eastern Region, about legal and legislative approaches to addressing concussions in youth sports. The previous interview is included below:

Psychiatrist "Bible" Gets a Numeric Overhaul
The American Psychiatric Association will release the latest version of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (DSM) this Saturday at its annual meeting, according to Reuters. The current version is the DSM-IV, which was released a full 10 years ago -- the new version will be recast as DSM-5 (not DSM-V), with an eye toward updating the catalog of psychiatric conditions much more frequently with intermediate versions (DSM-5.1, DSM-5.2 and so on). The newest version also aims to introduce more scientific rigor and clinical confirmation of mental illness, such as, "using neuroscience in particular to tell the difference between, say, normal sadness and major depression." Though some criticize that the science just isn't there yet, and that the current version could lead to overdiagnosis. Read more on mental health.
Most Adults Enforce Smoke-Free Rules in Homes, Cars
Four out of five U.S. adults report having voluntary smoke-free rules in their homes and three out of four report having voluntary smoke-free rules in their vehicles, according to a study published in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease, a publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Despite the high prevalence of voluntary smoke-free rules in homes and vehicles, the study found that almost 11 million non-smoking adults continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke in their home, and almost 17 million non-smoking adults continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke in a vehicle. The study also showed that voluntary smoke-free rules were more prevalent in states with comprehensive smoke-free laws and tobacco control programs. Read more on tobacco.
Living Near Fast-Food Outlets Might Boost Obesity Risk
Black Americans who live within two miles of a fast food outlet have a higher body-mass index than those living farther away -- and that link especially holds true for those with lower incomes, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health. The study involved more than 1,400 black adults divided into two groups: those making less than $40,000 per year and those making $40,000 or more per year.

TEDMED Talks: 'Cure Violence' Founder on Treating Violence as a Contagious Disease
How can we put a stop to violence? Gary Slutkin, MD, believes the key is treating it as we would any contagious disease. The epidemiologist and Founder/Executive Director of Cure Violence recently spoke at TEDMED 2013 about utilizing public health and science-based strategies to prevent violence in communities.
"The greatest predictor of a case of violence is a preceding case of violence," said Slutkin.
And as with an epidemic such as cholera, the way to stop violence is to find those "first cases" and interrupt the transmission. Cure Violence's model involves violence interrupters who play a similar role as health workers during epidemics, going into communities to help re-frame issues and cool down situations that could lead to violence. At the same time, outreach workers help people change their behavior and—in time—change the social norms of a community.

Lyrics need to be comprehensible to me, and preferably good which rules out any bands singing in forrin lingo.
Yes I enjoy j-pop and rock. I don't understand the words, but I still memorize the lyrics after hearing them so much. The Japanese language is beautiful to me, I love the way it sounds.
I'm exposed to it through animes, and whenever I heard an opening or ending song I like, I look it up and get more info.
Currently Reading:
Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Gantz, Medaka Box, Beelzebub, Soul Eater, Claymore, Ao no Exorcist
Altho I dont know a whole lot of j-pop/j-rock outside of Anime Op/Ed and Video game songs but one of the best without a doubt is Asian Kung fu Generation. Some of the best Op in Naruto , Bleach and Full metal Alchmeist. I have heard some of the songs on thier CD as well they are really good.
Pretty much all the artist with Op/Ed for Naruto and Bleach are hip and up to date like Sabonmaster, Nobodyknows, Ikimonogakari, Nico touches the Wall, Beat crusaders and too many more to mention.
I have tons of other Anime music from shows like Claymore, Escaflowne, Evangelion, Mars Daybreak, Macross, Nadesico, Record of lodass War, Shadow Skill, Slayers and some other shows saved on my pc I listen to it all the time.

I love J-Rock. Sometimes I'd rather listen to it than the average American music that I always hear.
Thanks to Gulley for the new sig.

I like some songs, but I don't really love it. The foreign lyrics don't really bother me, because, as Arisato-kun said, you can just look it up. UVERworld, Abingdon Boys School, and Yui are my faves.

I have met many entrepreneurs in my life, including my husband who I have seen through three start-ups. I'm always excited listening to their ideas, feeling their passion and their hunger to achieve success. But I often find it hard to figure out who will eventually succeed, or even go past their first or second round of funding. Most times, especially in India where the market is ripe for any number of products and services, success or failure happens because of the entrepreneur. Not every founder transforms into a good entrepreneur and leader, but the few who do end up creating enormous value for themselves & their stakeholders, and oftentimes, transforming the very industry they operate in.
When I met Girish Mathrubootham, Founder/CEO of FreshDesk recently, I felt in my bones that I was sitting in front of one such entrepreneur! Girish is everything but a stereotype of a tech-entrepreneur that most of us would expect - He has no fancy degrees from fancy Institutes like an IIT/IIM/Stanford/UPenn. No Debonair looks. He has never worked in any blue chip MNC. Worst of all, he has no "airs" as the CEO of a recently funded startup:)
But you hear Girish talk, and you quickly realize that he is in a league apart. It shows in the way he has taken different career decisions in the past; it shows in his straight-forward, honest, and no-nonsense communication style; it shows in the way he has built his team; and above all, it is there in the calm confidence that he radiates.
Girish's first foray into entrepreneurship in '01-02 was a classic failure. He had given up a nice job in the US to return to India, and start a Software Training School. The training venture struggled due to the very negative sentiment that prevailed in India towards software jobs during that time (hard to believe now, but even colleges were finding it hard to fill up Comp Sci seats that year!). People were losing jobs, and very few firms were recruiting. Girish took a wise step - he decided to close his company down and get himself a job. I say 'wise', because knowing when to give up is a very important trait in an entrepreneur, and he had his clearly articulated reasons, like:
1. he strongly believes that a startup succeeds when it rides a wave (I couldn't agree more)
2. he does not enjoy working in a "negative" environment
3. nobody would give a bride to a struggling entrepreneur (Haha!)
As luck would have it, Girish landed in Zoho (AdventNet, those days) in a pre-sales engineer role. But very soon, he morphed into a Product Manager largely because his boss, Kumar Vembu, spotted his talent. As he says it, Kumar Vembu took him out for a chai one day and told him that an 'authoritative personality' like him should be a Product Manager, and the role was his if he wanted it. Girish did not wait to think; it sounded interesting and he signed up immediately, even though he had no clue as to what he was expected to do! But this transition surely was a very important fork in Girish's career, for it introduced him to a "product", "innovation", "global market" scenario that most people working in India never get to operate in.
Girish's first strategic move was to focus on building a strong User Interface (UI) for the product, as he knew what a pain it was to learn/use products with bad UI from his training days. No wonder then that this product, OpManager, took off when launched at InterOp in Las Vegas..with users raving about the easy-to-use, friendly interface! And this was way before the iPhone/iPad days that have anyway brought UI to the fore in all apps today.
Girish learnt his next lesson - on pricing and positioning - when a senior executive from AMEX came to his InterOp stall and inquired if he had a "better functionality" for a higher price for high-end enterprises like Amex! He realized then that it was critical to have different bundles at different price levels for sme and enterprises, because they want to be treated differently.
His product primer got its third entry when he went to meet a potential customer for his Networks Operations Management product. The customer was using an asset management product from a competitor and could not stop raving about it. He was impressed that the product was being "sold" so intensely by the customer. He decided that, henceforth, any product he put out in the market had to be so good that his customers would do the selling for him!
So when Girish got ready to launch off on his own, he knew much of what he needed to do as he had already built 7/8 successful products at Zoho. No wonder then, that when he came across a Hacker News post on ZenDesk's product pricing strategy, and on how the market was ripe for a better product, he could not let the opportunity pass. He roped in his colleague and friend of several years , Shan, as a co-founder.Very soon, he felt like he had to strike out fully, at the risk of giving up his pay check, as the "idea virus" was buzzing 24*7 in his head. And FreshDesk was born! (You can read all about it in his own words in his blog -http://tinyurl.com/79xrksb).
Girish says his first team was all of people who had worked for him earlier.. And why not? Engineers by nature like to work for bosses who are "what-you-see-is-what-you-get", and the opportunity to build a world class product out of Chennai does not come every day! So, how does Girish manage his team… especially now given that they are seeing a lot of action in the field with product launch, customer ramp up, funding and red-hot growth?? He says his philosophy is simple - People need to feel happy about coming to work on a Monday. They need to like their job, and they will only like it if they are good at it. So his job is to figure out what they are good at by moving them around if required, or hiring them into the right role…a la Kumar Vembu, his erstwhile boss and mentor? He gives the example of how he hired his digital content man from a retail store where he was handling supply chain, his first job after completing MBA. Girish read his blogs, researched, and realized that it would be a win-win if he got him for managing Digital Content. Today, if you go read the FreshDesk blogs, Twitter & Facebook posts, and all the cool marketing content that comes out from them, you will know what a good hire this has been! I was happy that I met a founder/CEO who does targeted hiring, and hires based not on brand value but based on potential…a theme I oft repeat to my clients when I hear them lament that it is so hard to find the right person for a job. Girish then went on to say that he believed that there was no such thing as work-life balance!!…that there can only be work-life integration and that you have to like your job enough to carry it home with you! Gotta agree, as I have been doing it all my life:). He also does not believe in appraisals where you tell people where they passed, and where they failed. Instead, he believes in Achievement Reviews where he can discuss what they have achieved and what more they can do. Forward looking HR stuff that you don't get to hear much in India, especially in companies at this stage.
Girish, I enjoyed meeting you. You are one positive person, and they say positive energy is viral. No wonder FreshDesk is blazing on many fronts in just a year, with customers across 40+ countries. Now with mainline VCs like Accel & Tiger backing you, there is no stopping you! Go for the moon, guy!
Note to Reader: In case you haven't already, you should read Girish's letter in response to an allegation that FreshDesk is a rip off product..http://tinyurl.com/d5d3esq….It is a Classic!

ASTM F86 2012 Edition, "Standard Practice for Surface Preparation and Marking of Metallic Surgical Implants," has just been released and is now available in paper or pdf format from Document Center Inc. The surface treatments documented in this practice are intended to improve the corrosion resistance of metallic surgical implants manufactured from iron, cobalt, titanium, and tantalum base materials.
Iron particles, ceramic media, and other foreign particles may become smeared over or imbedded into the surface of implants during processing operations such as forming, machining, tumbling, bead blasting, and so forth. These particles should be removed to minimize localized rust formation and superficial blemishes.
The need for an additional implant surface treatment such as secondary passivation in nitric acid should be evaluated for localized implant surfaces that have electrochemical or laser product markings created after the final surface treatment. This practice provides a description of surface characteristics, methods of surface preparation, and methods of marking for metallic surgical implants.
The 3-page ASTM F86-12 replaces the ASTM F86-04(2009) (2004 Edition reaffirmed in 2009) which is now obsolete. Values are stated in inch-pound units with mathematical conversions to SI units in parentheses (for your information only — not to be considered standard).
All current ASTM standards and many obsolete revisions are available from Document Center Inc. at our website, www.document-center.com. Many ASTM's are available in redline editions as well, just ask us about this if you're interested. FYI: A listing of all ASTM standards on Surgical Implants will be available on our website when the new updated version is released in early July. Be sure to check it out!
You may also contact us by phone (650-591-7600), fax (650-591-7617) or email (email@example.com). Our staff is available during business hours California time to assist you with all your standards needs and questions.

Mami Dearest
Aug 5th
I've realized something: I no longer depend on my parents for advice. Mostly, I feel that their advice is laden with archaisms and the prejudice of a previous era. Like many queers, I feel my parents have not addressed issues affecting my life to my satisfaction. And because of this, the paths of communication have, essentially, been closed, open only to the most necessary exchanges. This, ultimately, only functions to further my own sense of alienation from my home and from my parents, in particular.
Now, as a bitter queer Latino, I normally wouldn't care. Like many other things I am particularly bitter about, I would dismiss the situation as out of my control and push it out of my mind (only to dwell on it at night, of course, thanks to my inherited Mexican Catholic guilt). However, with the help of a very good friend, I have realized that it is very much within my control, and apparently, I am much more to blame than I would care to admit, mostly due to my own obliviousness to my manipulative ways.
Allow me to explain. As many of you familiar with my writing may know, I have serious Mami issues. There is always a silent stalemate at work beneath our interactions. On the surface, it all seems fine, but debajo – ¡uy! – there is a ciénaga of things at work, where every word that is exchanged is charged with underlying meaning meant to "change" the other into what we envision is correct (for me: the Cher to my Chaz; for my mom: the Jesús to her María, without the dying single part of course).
Now, you ask, how is this your fault, Karari? I couldn't see it, either. But apparently, I am incredibly transparent. My emotions linger somewhere where I don't see them but where everyone else can, almost like a one-way mirror. Now, I can hear a few of you snickering out there, but I really thought I had total control of my emotional cues. It comes to a great shock to me, that, sadly, I do not. So, whenever I would feel my mom was a bad mom, she would feel it, too. Eventually, with repeated exposure to the "you're a terrible mother" vibe, my mom came to believe it, and thus began to act on the expectation I had of her. After all, what's the point in trying if you're already terrible?
And so my dear reader, this is where we find ourselves. Our relationship has slowly degenerated to a laundry list of regrets, resentments, y recuerdos of a happy past. And, honestly, this is not what I want, even if the material that stems from this toxic relationship makes for great literary drama. I want to have a healthy relationship with my mom. I want to be able to talk to her about lots of different things without being afraid of our conversation erupting into another Mexican-American conflict. I want what it seems everyone, but me, has.
I have always been jealous of the relationships my exes have had with their moms. Y's mom was all up in his business, and from the looks of it, he liked it, because it showed that she cared enough to know the all the details (yes, including our sex life). E's mom, on the other hand, was much less nosy. However, she and E still had a great communication that allowed for both to express their feelings. It goes without saying, that when I was dating their sons, I was also accepted. And this bothered me to no end. I always wondered: why can't I have this with my mom? There are times (and I'm not proud of this) that I resented my exes for the relationships they had with their moms, even going as far as secretly believing that if anyone deserved to have the healthy, after-school special relationship with their mom, it was obviously me.
Thanks to my conversations with my aforementioned friend, I have recently begun to realize that they worked for that relationship; It didn't just happen. Yes, it helped that E's mom was college educated, or that Y's mom wasn't particularly religious. However, what helped more was that both E and Y turned to their moms for every day advice, whether if it was how to make oven-baked enchiladas or what the perfect birthday present for a pretentious Mexican, like myself, would be.
Even now, this boggles my US American-assimilated-Mexican, independent mind. If I need a ride to the airport or to the store, I rather drive myself or find an alternative way of getting there. If I am lost, I Google directions or call a friend. I, in general, avoid turning to my parents for petty things. In my head, I feel that they have enough things to worry about. They don't need to be bothered with random occurrences that can easily be remedied on my own. So, instead of calling my mom, and asking her how to make pozole, I simply looked up a (much healthier) recipe on Epicurious and solved the problem myself, not realizing that in doing so, I was effectively letting my mom know that I didn't need her knowledge, and by extension, I didn't need her.
This is not conductive to the relationship I wish to develop with my mom. She wants to feel needed, just like we all do. There was a time when I needed her for everything. But now, it seems that I need her less and less. Because of this, she often attempts to reestablish the old order of things, where she was the mother and I was the obedient child, choosing to ignore the fact that I am no longer that little boy who did her eyebrows and zipped up her dresses. When I am treated like a child, I instantly become belligerent and close up to all advice, even if it may be beneficial for me. However, if I open myself up to her (and I know this will be hard) for advice or for help, she will feel more secure in the ways our relationship is developing and, therefore, will not attempt to return to the parent-child power dynamic.
I must admit though, that even as I write this, I am getting exhausted. There is a lot of resentment that I need to get over. I am still hurt from many of the things that my mom said initially to me when I came out. Ignoring them hasn't made them go away. But, recent events have shown me that I may not have all the time in the world with my mom; I may very well die tomorrow. Or worse, she may very well die tomorrow. Being a bitter queer Latino I can handle. But a bitter queer Latino with a laundry list of unresolved regrets, resentments, y recuerdos? That, I'm not quite too sure.
Aug 4th
Fate licks
those arsenic lips
in anticipation
for my liberation
from the regular confines
of a naïve smile.She awaits to plant
those krypton kisses
on hopeful dreams,
on silent screams,
and boil them
in their own acidic bile.It thus becomes
worthless to try
futile to even cry
cuz fate will
knock me down again.So I think I'll stay
another day
within the borders
of this foolish,
yet sheltering,
naïve smile.

Asbury Park, NJ Spa and Massage
Recommended Spa & Massage by Groupon Customers
Today's Groupon gently exfoliates lemons into healthy, smooth lemonade skin and melts stressful, overwhelming problems into hot chocolate, because today's Groupon gets you a special, Groupon-only 30-minute lemon-chiffon or chocolate-truffle body scrub treatment at De Novo European Beauty Spa (valued at $65).
With today's Groupon, $75 gets you two one-hour BeSu Body Bliss massages at BeSu Salon and Day Spa, located at 210 3rd Ave. in Gramercy. Buy more for your stressed out friends, or as a Father's Day gift for dad or someone you consider fatherly (friendly mailman, oral surgeon, etc.).
Throughout the spa, aromas from various body treatments waft through the air. One may be able to smell sweet scents from a brown sugar scrub or from a dessert therapy treatment that coats the skin in a yogurt-and-honey spread. Relaxing aromas come from custom-blended essential oils in the aromatherapy massage, while a refreshing hint of peppermint drifts from the skin of those receiving the very minty body scrub and massage combo.
The sense of smell is just one of the senses the staff of Tribeca Beauty Spa takes into consideration. Inside one of seven treatment rooms in their 4,000 square foot facility, aestheticians strive for visual splendor by removing dirt and oil from pores. Within the pedicure/manicure oasis, nail technicians shape and polish nails and can add such treatments as a salt glow foot rub, warm towels, and a moisturizing massage—bringing the sense of touch into the mix. Downstairs in the relaxation lounge, meanwhile, the staff welcomes robe-and-slipper-clad clients into a cedar sauna that helps them relax and detoxify before or after treatments. This sauna actually sounds like the most relaxing noise of all—silence.
Whether you're a yoga vet or just yoga-curious, today's Groupon for five classes at Prana Mandir Yoga Studio for only $35 helps you improve flexibility and reduce stress. Choose among four classes at the center—Kundalini, Vinyasa, Meditation, and Intro to Yoga—each taught by one of Prana Mandir's experienced instructors. Founder and creative director Lea Kraemer has taught yoga for more than a decade and her studio has been featured by NY Wellness Examiner and Time Out New York.
Get a youthful look that's as smooth as a placid lake but not transparent with today's side deal for cosmetic facial injections from Park Avenue Laser Vision. You get half off your choice of a Restylane or Dysport treatment for one area. You must schedule your appointment within seven days of your Groupon purchase and redeem it within three months.
Holding multiple diplomas in acupuncture and Chinese herbology, Six Fishes Healing Arts founder and head practitioner Cara Frank draws upon three decades of experience to heal patients with Eastern and holistic modalities. Frank and her colleagues Tansy Briggs and Jennifer Harrison specialize in internal medicine, addressing a variety of ailments within an office boasting exposed-brick walls, wisdom-crammed bookshelves, and huge windows swathed with bright red curtains. The trio uses acupuncture, massage, herbs, and nutrition counseling to holistically treat chronic symptoms by aligning the mind, body, and spirit.

I think they should add a small sitting area. It wouldn't take much room and it would be a very nice addition. There's no place for Grandma to have someone over and for them both to sit and talk unless one is sitting on the bed.
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
Totally agree! I've been thinking how easy it would be to make a better design, lol.
You should enter into a "large" open space. The kitchen w/island would be on your right, and a tiny sitting area would be in front of you. On the left would be two doors, the first door leading to the much tinier bedroom. Beyond the bedroom would be the bathroom, with doors that open to both the sitting area and to the bedroom.

Like to invite you guys to our Picks game. We are sponsoring it for various Lions sites and like for you guys to represent as a group. You'll have your banner to represent. Also have a Survivor game. http://ww.thepicksgame.com Sign in: http://nflspin.yahoo.com
Y'all are REALLY LAGGING here. Coynejeremy IS THE ONLY ONE??? COME ON!! hit link/username/password/email address/ make picks -------- real easy. Ok, just realized the link was bad. The Picks Game
Okay, my son and I just joined. It looks like fun. The Survivor game could be cool, too, especially if I last longer than Week 1. I hope I don't forget to make my picks each week. :(
Alright. Those guys are going to need some help so I joined too. Not that I actually have any clue of what's going on!
With Darth Tater signed up, I feel semi-confident that I won't finish in last place each week...........
Great! What's neat about the setup is you help your group compete, but at the same time compete against each other. Thanx for coming aboard.
I did worse than you did. I have to admit, I screwed off last week. My bad. I did some research this week when making my picks. We'll see if that makes me do better or not.... At least I picked a new team for Survivor this week. There was one guy on there that tried to pick the Colts 2 weeks in a row.
PistonsForum has moved up in the group standings!!! We are now 5th out of 11 groups with a 62.8% rate. Our standing is being helped out a lot by my 13-year-old son who is currently in 1st place out of over 130 people. He has managed to pick 36 out of 48 games correctly for a 75% accuracy rate. Maybe I should take him to Vegas....
Don't do it Bill! What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. You don't want Bill Jr. to come back without his good luck!
I saw that, that's awesome! That average would be even higher if I wasn't dragging us down with my .469 average.
There's an unwritten rule around here Nemo. NEVER under any circumstance give Tater a compliment. It's like feeding a wild animal.
There's an unwritten rule around here Tater. NEVER under any circumstance attack jammertime. It's like attacking a wild animal.
Yea, pick it up, Jammer. You're under 50%. Perhaps you should just go with the "heads or tails" technique to make your picks...

SerBarristan, on 05 April 2012 - 07:10 PM, said:
The relativists defense here is something like Ned is a "victim" of his time, when misogyny woven into the fabric of society. This defense is totally inadequate to me. This kind of reasoning basically silences minority voices, usually the victims themselves and also the conscientious few who speak out in moral outrage. Let's take the Civil Rights Movements in the U.S. I have family aging family members who hold very racist ideas because they were born in a time when those ideas were commonplace and accepted. Is that a valid excuse? No. Because then I'm essentially saying "everyone thought that way" when in reality everyone did not. It's like ignoring all the people who marched and protested and did freedom rides in opposition to an unjust system (and lest we forget a lot of those people died because of these efforts). You're whitewashing them from history like they didn't exist. The same could be said for the abolitionists before the Civil War.
Take it back to Westeros and gender norms. There are people like Arya and Brienne who do not live up to the expectations society places on them. Brienne in particular feels the full brunt of the society's misogyny and but still perseveres. She's an awesome character. I love her. But to forgive the Ned Starks and Robert Baratheons et al. for dishing out the abuse she receives because that's the cultural norm? Absolutely unforgivable. Because there are people who don't subscribe to these fucked up norms. Her name is Brienne.
Easy tiger! By this rationale, every character is 'absolutely unforgivable' when you apply your modern morality. Nearly everyone subscribes to gender roles in general. You mention Arya and Brienne, what's interesting about them is that they aren't feminists pushing for or even espousing a belief in different gender roles, all they do is refuse themselves to do what is expected of them. They don't say 'this is wrong, girls shouldn't be made to act this way.' they are perfectly accepting of everyone else continuing on as before, only that they won't abide by those same conventions. The actual only example in westeros would be in dorne where gender roles are truly different and one could argue much closer to a modern day view. There is no feminist movement afoot in Westeros that supports your analogy to the civil rights movement that your relatives lived through.
Isn't this exactly the same as saying that every single human being who believed that the world was flat was an absolute fool to think so, because it turns out it aint? That the second one person said, 'hey wait a second, i'm not so sure' that absent immediate adoption of that viewpoint, they should be viewed in hindsight as morons?
Look at how every single character accepts a class structure of lords and monarchs with absolute power over the common man. Isn't this 'absolutely unforgivable' when looked at through a 21st century prism where individual rights are promoted and protected? Dany, your champion of feminist might, is an interesting character in this instance, as she may not be forcing anyone to follow or be subservient to her, but were the society different, the people would not be doing so. It is a society of kings or queens and their subjects, what the little people know how to do is to follow so that is what they do. Every one of them that does so is accepting the same social structure that we in the modern day find reprehensible.

Most camera straps try to re-shape the back of your neck. Not this ergonomic puppy. Weightlifter wide, thick like a weathergirl and with a double layer neoprene neck cushion, its body-hugging contours distribute the mass of your camera evenly across your shoulders. No irritation. No scarification. Constructed of flamed polypropylene, 900D, Air Mesh, and dual layer nylon-reinforced PVC, it's soft where it matters but strong where it counts.
The neoprene neck cushion wicks away perspiration for evaporation into the sweatasphere through twin exhausts.
Embossed anti-slip rubber logo doesn't just appease the marketing honchos, it stops the strap sliding around on your neck or shoulder.
Dual upper and lower adjustable tri-glide buckles let your camera assume every position from gangsta thigh hugger to Harry High Pants.
Tapering from extra wide double weave at your end, to camera eyelet size at the business end, the super strength one piece tubular flamed polypropylene webbing keeps a vice like grip on your camera.
Left and right reinforced accessory loops let you attach other photo-gidgetry and gadgetry for instant access.
Carrying a lanyard as well as your camera? Thread it through the space between the neoprene neck cushion and the outer liner. Who said two into one doesn't go?

The Wausau West Hockey team dominated Wausau East last night 7-1 at Marathon Park to retain the Kuehlman Cup. The cup seems to have taken up permanent residence in the Warrior trophy case. West is ranked first in the state and are led by senior standouts Mitch Borneman and Derek Knetter. They would have been a favorite to head to state even before the influx of transfers in the last year. One of those transfers, Kyle Lee, had a hat trick in last nights win. Lee is a talented offensive player who will give opponents defensemen fits. I'm not going to revisit the controversy on some of the transfers...I just hope it was all done on the up & up so that that this magical season, however it turns out, won't leave a sour taste in the mouths of local hockey fans.
I saw Keaton Nankivil play in high school when the East Lumberjacks played in Madison. Nankavil was raw then but you could see the potential to develop into a classic low post player...what I didn't expect was his talent to shoot the three. He hit seven treys last night and scored 25 in the Badger loss to Purdue. If he can pick up some of the scoring slack until Jon Leuer returns maybe the Badger guards will find their shooting touch again.
Join us for a tripleheader of high school hoops on Foxsports 1390WRIG tonight....first up the DC Everest girls & boys take on Wausau West followed by the East boys at Rhinelander.

The Votes Are In: Christmas Carol Favorites

Vote for your Favorites We asked you to vote in four categories, and here's what you chose: Best Religious Carol The folk spiritual "Go Tell It On the Mountain" came in at Number 3, with the majestic "O Holy Night" coming in second. Top honors went to the lovely and time-tested "Silent Night." Best Classic Carol What, you don't love Rudolph and Frosty and "Jingle Bells" anymore? Voters ignored those tunes, instead choosing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," perhaps inspired by Judy Garland's valiant and nuanced take on it, for Number 3, and "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" at Number Two.

Nicole Mora loves her job. To her its not work its fun. Her 5th grade class reminds her everyday why she got into teaching nine years ago.
"I have this rapport with them where we can chatter, or have a conversation, and maybe throw a little sarcasm in there. It's fun, it makes my day fun."
"Mrs. Mora is an outstanding teacher, because she makes learning fun."
Mrs. Mora also spends a lot of time with her students outside of the classroom. She organizes after school activities that focus on everything from the arts to athletics. And she also started a weekly challenge called the marathon mileage club.
"We have 300 students that come out every single Thursday, on their own time, during lunch-time, and they run. They're running anywhere from two laps, half a mile, to two miles."
"I'm not surprised that she got this award because I'm so proud of her, and she's just a great teacher."
"My students know, I tell them from the first week of school, they're my kids. I refer to them as my kids, whether I see them off campus, or on campus. They know that at the end of the year, when they say 'goodbye' they better come back and visit."
Congratulations to Nicole Mora, our KSEE24 Educator of the Week.
If you'd like to nominate someone to be our Educator of the Week, it's easy! Just click on the Community tab above, then click "Educator of the Week Nomination." Tell us why your choice should be Educator of the Week!
Every week, the Educator of the Week will receive a $124 gift certificate from GW School Supply. Their name will also be engraved on a brick on the 'Teacher and Friends of Education Honor Wall', at Fresno State's Kremen School of Education.

Fun Flower Facts
Is it still appropriate to send flowers if the death notice mentions a charitable donation?
Yes. Because flowers help say what is often difficult to express, they are always appropriate and in good taste. Flowers also play a functional role, adding warmth to the service and providing the visible emotional support that the family needs during this time.
What type of flower arrangement should I send for someone who is considered Romantic?
People who are generous, spontaneous and extravagant. Bouquets of soft colors, light fragrances and accents of lace or ribbon might suit romantics.
