Fees & Financial Aid
While your education is certainly one of the most valuable things in your life, it doesn't have to be the most expensive because MU is a top-tier university without a top-tier price tag. Created by recognized leaders in the field, the EdTech program was the first online program at MU, opening the door for a range of online programs recently recognized as a "Best Buy" award winner.
The Educational Technology programs require 30 credit hours. For the 2015–16 academic year, the current cost per credit hour for Missouri residents AND all distance students is $350.10 and includes two additional fees per credit hours: an Information Technology fee of $13.00 and a College of Education fee of $40.20. Using these numbers the total cost of your EdTech program will be about $12,015 (plus books and materials).
Not a Missouri resident?
No problem! Whether you are an online student half way around the world or a near-by Missouri resident, the cost is the same. And the added flexibility and access of online learning saves you commuting time and money.

Impact Statements
eThemes Saves Time, Lowers Cost, and Improves Student Learning
The eMINTS National Center and the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies provide eThemes -- a free, online database of carefully selected, child-safe learning materials, bringing media-rich content to classrooms across the country. eThemes includes thousands of websites grouped into over 2,500 thematic areas ranging from "advertising" to "zoos". Aligned with the educational standards of Missouri and eight other states, teachers use eThemes materials because they are age appropriate and up-to-date. By saving teachers from the time-intensive task of finding high-quality instructional websites and reducing the need for expensive print materials, conservative estimates are that eThemes lowers the annual cost of K-12 education by millions. The eThemes website receives over 6,000,000 hits annually.
Learning Support Systems Help Students with Learning Disabilities and Emotional/Behavioral Disorders
Through KidTools and StrategyTools, the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies is providing educators with free computer-based performance support tools for children and adolescents with learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral disorders. Project director Gail Fitzgerald and her colleagues designed the tools to enable students to succeed in school and to help them transition to post-school settings. The U.S. Department of Education has provided $2.8 million in funding since 1998 to support the development of this software and to establish its efficacy in public school classrooms. The software is being disseminated to teachers and parents throughout Missouri and the nation.
Digital Support and Resources for the Truman Presidential Library
Launched with a grant from the U.S. Department of Education in 1996, Project Whistlestop provides online support and digital library services for the Truman Presidential Library & Museum. Lead by Tom Kochtanek in the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies, the Project Whistlestop website (www.trumanlibrary.org) receives more than 77 million hits a year, providing immediate access to Truman resources for researchers, students, and other online visitors.
Online Learning Resources Help Improve Boating Safety and Law Enforcement
Software designers in the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies are working to improve boating safety. A team lead by Joi Moore is working with the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) to evaluate and improve the organization's online learning resources. NASBLA is a national nonprofit organization that works to develop public policy for recreational boating safety. NASBLA represents the recreational boating authorities of all 50 states and the U.S. territories, affecting the lives of over 83 million American boaters.
Open Source Software Improves eLearning
Jim Laffey and a team of software designers from the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies are working to create open source software to enhance learning and improve the function of on-line resources. The team has created CANS (Context-aware Activity Notification System), an activity monitoring system designed for use in open source information and course management systems such as Sakai. CANS is made available to educators for free so they can better monitor and assist student progress and their students can benefit from the social nature of learning in online settings.
Virtual Environments Help Individuals with Autism
The iSocial project is a partnership between the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies and MU's Thompson Center for Autism & Neuro Developmental Disorders. Under the direction of Jim Laffey, the iSocial team is creating a 3D Virtual Learning Environment to help develop social competence for individuals with autism. According to the Center for Disease Control, from 1994 to 2005 the number of children and youth ages 6–21 years receiving services for ASD increased from approximately 20,000 to 200,000.
Department of Labor Grant Improves Radiation Safety Training
David Jonassen and Rose Marra from the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies are partnering with Bill Miller from Nuclear Engineering on a $2.3 million project that will help increase the pool of well-trained Radiation Protection Technicians at nuclear power plants. The Radiation Protection Curriculum Project is developing courses and learning resources that will be implemented at 6 community colleges across the country, helping meet the projected need for roughly 90,000 new nuclear employees in the next 10 years, on top of additional needs resulting from new nuclear power plant construction.
Assessment Tools Help Engineering Programs Recruit and Retain Female Students
The School of Information Science & Learning Technologies is working to develop performance tools that assess the effectiveness of engineering and science programs to recruit and retain women. Partnering with Penn State University, Rose Marra is working with the National Girls Collaborative Project, Assessing Women in Engineering (AWE) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to build capacity in reaching female engineering students and to distribute a comprehensive set of assessment tools to help recruitment efforts and to measure retention rates. The need for this work is supported by the continued low enrollment of women in undergraduate engineering programs where percentages remain at approximately 20% in spite of over two decades of efforts to increase enrollments.
IE Lab Helps Improve Websites
Operated by the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies, the Information Experiences Laboratory (IE Lab) helps clients across Missouri improve the usability and impact of their website and other digital resources. IE Lab clients range from small start-up companies to large, multi-national corporations, as well as several libraries and other non-profit organizations in Missouri. After implementing IE Lab recommendations, two clients have won national awards for their improved websites.
IE Lab Global Network
Faculty in the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies are working with colleagues in Taiwan, China, Thailand, and Singapore to create the IE Lab Global Network, a consortium of usability testing facilities. The lab in Taiwan is currently assisting the Missouri Department of Agriculture's Asia Office to create a website in Chinese for Missouri's agribusiness presence in the Pacific Rim.
MU Prepares Librarians
A federal grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services is helping MU faculty meet the growing demand for professional librarians in Missouri. MU has Missouri's only Library Science program that is accredited by the American Library Association (ALA). With access points in Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, St. Louis, and Omaha, NE, the Library Science program produces approximately 100 librarians a year, helping meet a growing demand for these information specialists across the State and region.

I'm extremely confused with the concept of the Unsung Hero badge, since it counts the answers that are both accepted and upvoted. It suggests that the questioner will accept an answer but not upvote it. Don't you think it's a bit schizophrenic behaviour? Or the badge is for people who accept their own answert, unable to upvote it?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
From the Badges page
It's to reward those people who's answers are accepted but not upvoted. This can be for many reasons - one being that new users can post questions and accept answers, but can't up-vote until they get 15 rep, another being where there are few users who are knowledgeable in a tag.
So it's a way of rewarding those people who help the new users to the site.
I don't think self accepted answers count.

The Mysteries of Peoria
Tonight we'll find out if Dan Savage will play in Peoria.
I'm in Peoria, Illinois, to speak at Bradley University. This is the second time Bradley's brought me in to speak, so I must play pretty well. I got to the hotela huge, old hotel called Pere Marquettein downtown Peoria, desperate to get up to my room so I could email off a couple of pieces. (One for the Stranger, one for a paper to be named later.) When I told the receptionist I wanted to check in, she pointed at this sign on the counter:
I found it hard to believe that a huge hotel in PeoriaPeoria!didn't have even one room that I could check into at 3 PM. The lobby was deserted, the hotel bar was empty, there wasn't a soul on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. "Are you telling me that a single room in this hotel is empty and clean?â I asked. "I have to check with housekeeping,â the receptionist said. She disappeared for a while, and eventually she discovered one roomRoom 538that was empty and clean.
When I got in the elevator, I noticed that about a third of the buttons didn't list floor numbers. They just said "CATERPILLER.â
This place is giving me the creeps.

Pharmaceutics is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with all facets of the process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE) into a safe and effective medication.
Pharmacology is all about "finding out how drugs work". It is concerned with the effects of drugs on living organisms and their components such as cells, membranes, organelles, enzymes and DNA.
Pharmacognosy deals with the study of crude drugs that includes plants, animals and marine sources. The subject has played a diverse role in the discovery, characterization, production and standardisation of crude drugs.

This was the first of five training rides in the lead up to DCC VII on February 11, 2017.
The news was announced on "The Audible," the team's new 30-minute produced show live streamed on Dolphins.com, the Dolphins app, Facebook Live and Periscope that features unique perspectives on the team with long-form conversations, interviews and social media interaction where fans will have the ability to ask questions and take part in the discussion.
Running back Jay Ajayi was projected as the clear-cut starter at running back before the arrival of Foster, but regardless of what happens he said he was going to focus on his own work during training camp.
The Dolphins practiced for approximately 90 minutes at the revamped Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University, where fans got to enjoy the new canopy covering the stands and providing shade.
The quarterback's wife, Lauren, gave birth Sunday to a baby boy who came in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces.
See exclusive images as the Dolphins hit the field for the first day of Training Camp at the team's headquarters at The Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University.
The Dolphins began training camp Friday morning on a hot, clear day and what follows are some observations and insights after a practice that lasted just under two hours.
Dolphins defensive end may join team at training camp; NFL to evaluate progress before start of season
Ross used the word "excited" to talk about Head Coach Adam Gase, who is beginning his first training camp with the Dolphins after being hired in January.
Team will start camp with two cornerbacks, two running backs and a linebacker on the active/physically unable to perform list.
The Dolphins will conduct their first practice Friday morning at 9 a.m. That will be the first of 12 practices open to the public, which now will get the benefit of a canopy covering the stands at the team's practice facility to provide shade.
With the start of training camp on Friday, Dolphins.com breaks down each position. Today, we take an in-depth look at the defensive ends.
As part of Throwback Thursday, each week we update the current professional and personal status of a Dolphins alumnus. This week, we feature former fullback Lousaka Polite.

We stayed at this location for 5 nights. We wanted a place that would put us between beaches and LA/Hollywood area. We were there to see our son perform in the Hollywood Christmas parade and needed a location easy to get to. The room was clean and comfortable. Service at the desk was friendly and quick. Free hot breakfast included every morning was sufficient and a time saver for us. Parking underneath the building was adequate and I liked the security of key card access only to the elevators. Our room was on the 4th floor near the back and was very quiet. Easy access to LAX and 405.

Hi again,
I am hoping someone can give me some advice..I know this is just a phase and the next one will be pulling up and standing.. Is there anything I should be doing i.e. shortening Wt's or putting down for naps and BT a little earlier to compensate for amount of time she fools around before she falls asleep? I had just moved her Wt's to 3/3.25/3.5-4 after having them drop due to OT from vacation and a cold. Last night she was kinda awake for 1.5-2hrs rolling around,moaning, and trying to crawl..She did this same thing for 40 min before falling asleep at BT. I kept falling back asleep when she would go quiet and still on her stomach or side so I am not excatly sure how long she was awake. She never cried or fussed. But I finally went to do a poop check ( no poop) after almost 2 hrs and nursed her despite her dropping her NF for the last three days.. But she went back to sleep within 5 min of Pd. She ended up getting about 10 hrs ONS ( i think ) so when she started acting very tired before 1st nap I Pd for the 2.75 and she crap napped me. I just put her down for her 2nd nap and she fell asleep at 3.25 half sitting up..
I guess I need do I put down earlier than 15 min before I hope she is asleep so that she has enough time to crawl and sit before she falls asleep before naps and BT and do I go into her at night if she is not crying to do a SR?Ā Or do I just leave her be and let her work out the need to crawl.. I feel so frusturated b/c has been STTN for 3 days now and it always seems to be something.
Thanks for reading this and any advice is appreciated!
- Andie

Shop & Dine cranks up for Valentine's
Published: Friday, January 15, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 8:06 p.m.
Flat Rock resident Bessie Bright received an unexpected Christmas gift. She was the winner of a $500 gift certificate as part of the Shop & Dine Henderson County campaign.
"It came in very nice," Bright said. "I have a plan for it. I'm going to buy a lawn mower."
She had considered the lawn mower as a Christmas gift to herself even before winning the gift certificate. Now, she figured she was destined to buy the machine.
Residents will have another chance at winning a gift certificate by participating in the Valentine's Day Shop and Dine Campaign, which began this week.
Shop & Dine Henderson County began in 2008 because of the slowdown in the economy. A coalition of business associations and local governments came together and started a "buy local" campaign. They advertised in local media and encouraged people to shop and dine in the county.
Bright won the holiday season raffle, which ran from mid-November to mid-December. People who purchased $100 worth of products in Henderson County could bring the receipts to the Chamber of Commerce office and were entered into a drawing for the gift certificate. The chamber recorded $80,000 in purchases.
"We are happy," Chamber President Bob Williford said. "We brought in $40,000 last year, so we basically doubled."
The Chamber just started the contest for Valentine's Day. The winner of the drawing will receive a gift basket valued at $670. The basket includes dinner, flowers, chocolates and other gifts.
The contest runs until Feb. 5. People can take their receipts to the Chamber office and are entered in the drawing.
Williford said shopping in Henderson County is important for local governments and local businesses because of the sales tax collected.
For more information on the Shop & Dine campaign, call 828-692-1413.

Location is good, many landmarks within walking distance, trendy area, Jose (wimdu-registration name changed since our booking was made ?) is a nice guy, we recommend to bring your own bedsheet and linen! bathroom needs substantial cleaning.
My family spent 6 days in NYC using the flat as base for the visit.
The location of the flat is superb, just 700 meters from Times Square and proximity to a large variety of restaurants in Hells Kitchen. There is a very nice atmosphere in the neighbourhood. Check in and check out smoothless , the flat is nice and clean, super wireless connection.
Great apartment, really central, close to lots of fantastic places to eat in Hells Kitchen. The apartment was really comfy, with two great double beds, large lounge area with a good kitchen. I would definitely stay again. Wilberg was really easy to communicate with, and we were able to leave the cases in the apartment until we left for the airport which was really important to us. Thanks Wilberg for a great stay.
We were three friends traveling together and wanted to stay at a place, where we could sleep separately to a reasonable price. That wish was totally fulfilled in Wilbergs apartment. It was in fact very easy to feel good and function well in the apartment. It is a bright and spacious apartment, very central located, with few minutes to subway, shops and restaurants. We felt very safe in the apartment.
Wilberg is an excellent host, with lots of good humour and careful as well.
Superb location, apartement perfect for two couples on a budget! Wilberg is a great host; serious, hospitable and a really nice guy! Would stay here again!
Really helpful and reliable host, easy communication, nice and clean appartment in central position.
Very recommendable!
Das einzige was positiv zu bewerten ist, ist die Lage.
Es beginnt mit dem unfreundlichen Empfang, geht weiter mit den äußerst ausverschämten Verhaltensregeln und endet mit einem wirklich sehr verdrecktem, ungemütlichem verwohntem und lautem Appartement. Die Bilder auf der Wimdu Seite entsprechen nur von der Raumaufteilung und Größe der Realität
Sowas kann man wirklich keinem anbieten. Ich würde gerne Bilder einstellen um andere vor dem Schock zu bewaren, den wir erfahren mussten.

Sidney Crosby is kind of popular - 10-9-08
Sidney Crosby made the rounds with TSN and ESPN yesterday:
Brian Kenny poses a really dated question at the 2:11 mark of the third video when he asks Crosby
if he and Alex Ovechkin are the future of the sport. That would've been a nice
question in 2005. Why not ask Mario Lemieux if he plans on retiring?
-Mark Eaton isn't hitting the Nutrisystem.
-Michel Therrien says Eric Godard got a raw deal in Sweden.
-Are we going to see those blue and white jerseys from the Winter Classic again?
-Paul Bissonnette didn't expect to start the season with Pittsburgh.
-Wilkes-Barre/Scranton got crunched by Hershey in its season opening game, 8-4. Ryan Stone had two goals and an assist for the Penguins.
-Stone manned the point for the Penguins last night.
-Stone also took a shot to the head but was fine.
Atlantic Division
-Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur (above) has a new mask (right).
-Brodeur's previous mask was a lot better than the new one.
Plust the previous one was fairly iconic. Almost like Patrick Roy's Canadiens
It seems kind of odd he would change it.
-Sarah Palin apparently supports puppy drowning. (Kudos to the several readers who gave us a heads up.)
-The Islanders claimed forward Nate Thompson off waivers from the Bruins.
-The agent for free agent forward Brendan Shanahan denied a report that a deal between his client and the Rangers is imminent.
Northeast Division
-The Sabres made a surprising move and named defenseman Craig Rivet their captain. Rivet was acquired in an offseason trade from San Jose.
-Buffalo demoted defenseman Mike Weber, a native of Pittsburgh, to Portland of the AHL.
-The Bruins demoted forward Vladimir Sobotka to Providence of the AHL.
-Senators forward Chris Kelly is happy with boring hockey.
Southeast Division
-The Thrashers unveiled a new third jersey. As you can tell by the sunny expressions of Niclas Havelid, Colby Armstrong, Ilya Kovalchuk and Mathieu Schneider, it's going to be a long season in Atlanta.
-Our immediate reaction to these train wrecks involved a swear words. Seriously, did the designer drop acid before they came up with these? They look like a cross between basketball and football jerseys. Nothing about that look says "hockey."
-The Thrashers will not name a captain to start the season, but will use five alternate captains; Armstrong, Havelid, Kovalchuk, Schneider and Slava Kozlov.
-Atlanta goaltender Ondrej Pavelec has agreed to report to Chicago of the AHL.
-The Panthers are another team that will not go with a captain to start season. Brian Allen, Cory Stillman and Stephen Weiss will serve as alternate captains.
-Panthers forward Rostislav Olesz will not be suspended for a hit that injured Islanders defenseman Chris Lee.
-The latest chapter in the NHL-KHL feud involves former Penguins forward Matt Murley. Despite being under contract with the Hurricanes, he signed with a team in the KHL.
Central Division
-Red Wings forward and former Penguin Marian Hossa is now subject to the Sports Illustrated cover jinx.
-Hossa is a funny guy.
-Detroit goaltender Chris Osgood is handy.
-Chicago thug Ben Eager was suspened for three games for swinging his stick at Stars forward Sean Avery from the bench. How is Ben Eager in the NHL again?
-The Blackhawks claimed defenseman Doug Janik off waivers from the Stars, and then traded him back for a seventh-round draft pick.
-Defenseman Mike Weaver, who was in camp with the Penguins last season, will make the Blues' roster out of camp. Fire Ray Shero.
-The Predators are going to need to rely on their defense a lot more this season.
-The Blue Jackets aren't jealous of all the attention Ohio State gets or getting run over by USC.
-Columbus demoted Nikita Filatov, its 2008 first-round pick, to Syracuse of the AHL.
-The Syracuse Crunch will retire a No. 7 in honor of Reg Dunlop, Paul Newman's character in "Slap Shot."
Northwest Division
-Wild defenseman Marek Zidlicky is dealing with an ankle injury.
-Hockey is kind of popular in Minnesota.
-Avalanche defenseman Adam Foote is happy to be back in Colorado.
-Colorado is playing the disrespect card.
-Canucks forward Jeff Cowan, Matt Pettinger and Jason Krog all cleared waivers and were sent to Manitoba of the AHL.
Pacific Division
-Stars forward Jere Lehtinen (above) is dealing with a groin injury.
-Sharks defenseman Kyle McLaren cleared waivers and was demoted to Worcester of the AHL.
-The Ducks recalled goaltender David LeNeveu from Iowa of the AHL.
Norris Division
-How appropriate is it with Wall Street melting down, Gary Bettman opened trading yesterday at the New York Stock Exchange?

Dear Heloise: Since I am trying to watch my weight, one of my favorite snacks is popcorn. Of course, I love the butter flavor, but that isn't always the best choice.
I have found that you can use all kinds of things to season it. A couple of neat things I have found are dry dressing mixes and seasoned salts. They are delicious on the popcorn. - Karen L. from Illinois
Yummy! I'm heading to the microwave right now to fix some popcorn. You also can use herb-blend seasonings, taco or chili seasonings, grated cheese or even Parmesan. Have you ever wanted to make salt-free or seasoning salt at home? Well, now is your chance. Send for my four-page pamphlet packed with seasoning recipes and some handy substitution. To receive a copy of the pamphlet, please send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (63 cents) envelope to: Heloise/SSS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. In a pinch, did you know that you can substitute some pancake mix for flour in a recipe? Just keep in mind the mix already has baking powder or soda, so don't add any extra. - Heloise
Dear Heloise: To measure an exact amount of water for a recipe, I used to put the measuring cup under my faucet, run the water, put the cup on the counter, wait for the water to settle to check the level, and then make adjustments by adding or subtracting water - sometimes several times to get it exact.
Now, I place the measuring cup on the counter next to the sink, then use the sprayer attachment on my sink to fill the cup to the required level. - Linda from Maryland
Dear Heloise: Recently, I found a way to restore brown sugar to its original state after it has become brick-hard. My son put candy jelly orange slices into a zippered lunch bag along with some rock-hard brown sugar that I had left out on the kitchen counter to be thrown away. And lo and behold if those little candies didn't restore the brown sugar to as soft as if I had just purchased it. So, as an experiment, I took another box of hard brown sugar and put it into a plastic container with a lid, along with about a dozen or so of the candy orange slices, and in three days it was totally revived. - Mary C. from Maine
Dear Heloise: The other day, I was making breakfast, and in all the commotion I dropped an egg on the floor. My neighbor told me to pour plenty of table salt over the entire egg, wait a couple of minutes and then sweep it right up. - Gracie May Hicks, San Antonio
Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 210-HELOISE or e-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com. I can't answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

This week we had an important advancement in our work bringing the healing power of mind-body medicine to US military and veterans. The New York Times published a strong article that features our work as the focal point in discussing effective new approaches to treating trauma and preventing suicide in the VA.
In the article, "For Veterans, a Surge of New Treatments for Trauma", published yesterday online, author Tina Rosenberg says "The Center for Mind-Body Medicine's program…is the most comprehensive of all [treatments], giving participants a variety of different strategies to choose from: breathing, meditation, guided visual imagery, bio-feedback, self-awareness, dance, self-expression, drawing. And it is the one with the strongest evidence that it works to cure PTSD."

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Darryl Strawberry was kicked out of a drug-treatment center and sent to jail for repeatedly breaking program rules, including a ban on sex between residents, according to court documents released Wednesday.
The former baseball star had many behavior problems at Phoenix House near Ocala, a state Corrections Department report said. Strawberry told his probation officer Tuesday he had sex with a female resident three days earlier.
In an interview at the Marion County Jail, Strawberry told WKMG-TV in Orlando his addictive behavior lead to the affair, which he now fears will cost him his marriage. Dressed in an orange-striped jail uniform, he said he never thought the punishment from the program would be as severe as being kicked out.

SocGen's Al Edwards doesn't disappoint his fans, believing the S&P is headed to 450 and gold to $10K. Most interesting is this chart on bond yields vs. forecasts. Forecasts in the deeper past essentially matched actual yields, yet for the last decade estimates have consistently called for "normalization," i.e. higher rates, but it's never happened. "Consensus has still not accepted that we remain locked in an Ice Age environment that will see U.S. (and U.K. and German) yields (TLT, TBT) converge to Japanese sub-1%."

I ran into a UK-based forum about piercing. (You can tell from their slang, which is quite different from the US.) The members were discussing The Piercing Bible and below are the comments I found there: • Brilliant book alert! Hi piercers & piercees, theres a bloody great book I've just bought & I think everyone would benefit from having a copy, its called "The Piercing Bible" by Elayne Angel, the incredible piercing guru responsible for Rings Of Desire Its got plenty of info for us piercers to chew over, & a lot of info for anyone wanting to receive safe & professional piercings. Its not a how to pierce book, but its a mine of info. I've not finished reading it yet, but so far so fabulous!
My publisher said I shouldn't put too much stock in the Amazon.com rankings for my book because they change continuously, but I can't help but feel a little excited to see that I'm within the top 20,000 books as of today (given that they have several million titles for sale)! And, The Piercing Bible is #3 in one book category, and #5 in another:
Elayne Angel | Create Your Badge
I think it turned out pretty nifty!
Since long before any states had legislation to give piercers guidance, I always enforced a strong policy about piercing minors: Without exception, the parent or legal guardian must be present with the minor to sign the release form. Each party must have a valid photo ID* . If the parent's last name and/or address is different from the minor's, there must be legal documentation to prove the relationship. (Birth certificate, divorce papers, adoption papers, marriage certificate). Court papers are required to prove a relationship with a legal guardian. • I do not pierce minors below the neck with the exception of the navel. I will pierce earlobes only, on individuals between 12 and 16 years of age. •I will not pierce children under the age of 12. • If you are under 18 but legally married I can pierce you in the state of Louisiana. You need to bring your marriage license along with valid photo ID*. • If you are a legally emancipated minor I can pierce you in the state of Louisiana. You need to bring court papers along with a valid photo ID*. Some problems I have found with piercing minors:
If you want to watch how I perform piercings, you can see me doing them in graphic detail here: http://clips4sale.com/10557. There's also a great video of me examining different configurations of female anatomy and describing which piercings are possible and where exactly they chould be placed. They aren't meant as "how-to" videos, but they do show a lot about how I do what I do.
I was interviewed by a website called "Embracing My Journey" and I talk about what keeps me moving forward, offer advice to people who want to live in a world of their own creation, reveal who I'd like to be stranded on a deserted island with, tell who inspires me, and much more. Check it out here.
Here's an email I received from a woman who was experiencing a problem because the jewelry that was placed in her VCH piercing was too short:
Hi there, I've contacted my piercer too, but I'm looking for some guidance and hoping you can help. I had my VCH pierced a week ago. It was initially healing very nicely with no issues. However, when I had it pierced, I was told that my hood was very long and he probably could have used a longer barbell (I have a straight barbell in now). This morning when I was cleaning it in the shower, I noticed that it was uncomfortable and found out that the bottom ball on the barbell has retreated into the piercing hole. I tried to manually push it back through but it is stuck and very uncomfortable. What should I do? Will my piercer be able to remove the jewelry and hopefully put a longer barbell in? I'm worried that it's healing around the ball and will be very difficult to remove. Thank you for any help you can give, Amanda
Amanda, Go see your piercer immediately! You MUST have a longer bar put in ASAP! If you allow jewelry that is too small to remain in place then it is likely to end up embedded. As the ball sinks in, your tissue grows around it, and soon you'll need the assistance of a doctor to remove the embedded jewelry by making an incision or two near it! Wearing ill-fitting jewelry is dangerous, especially when a piercing is so new. A curved bar gives you the advantage of some extra space without adding extra length--I usually start VCH piercings with them. This excerpt from The Piercing Bible explains proper VCH placement and jewelry:
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!
