W. Va. C-Store Gunman Sketch Released
Ballistic test links all three shootings to single sniper.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Investigators said Thursday that ballistic tests showed all three victims in a series of sniper-style slayings at area convenience stores were killed by the same weapon.
Charleston Police Chief Jerry Pauley said the victims, who all were shot in the head or neck last week, were killed by a .22-caliber rifle, the Associated Press reported.
"It does positively link the three bullets together. They all three came from the same weapon," Pauley said at an evening news conference. "Now that we know it came from the same weapon, we've got a direction to go in."
Also yesterday, police released a composite sketch of a suspect -- a heavyset white male. Witnesses told police they saw a large white man in a truck the night of the Aug. 14 shootings. Based on witness accounts, investigators are looking for a dark-colored, two-tone Ford F-150 extended cab pickup that was seen at the last two slayings.
Gary Carrier Jr., 44, of South Charleston, was killed Aug. 10 while making a telephone call outside a Charleston convenience store.
Four days later, Jeanie Patton, 31, and Okey Meadows Jr., 26, both of Campbells Creek, were killed within 90 minutes of each other at rural convenience stores about 10 miles apart and less than 20 miles east of Charleston.
Pauley said investigators have not determined whether the three murders are the work of a random sniper. Kanawha County sheriff's officials had said earlier that the killings of Meadows and Patton appeared to be drug-related.
Witnesses told police that they saw a large white man in a truck the night of the Aug. 14 shootings in Campbells Creek and Cedar Grove. A city, county and federal task force continues to sift through more than 400 leads, 10 of which have linked two of the shootings in the Campbells Creek area to drugs.
"As the leads come in, the investigators will go out and check it," Pauley said. "This may give us a little bit more direction to go in."

Names Elisa.
Eighteen, and loving it (so far).
.. I'm still trying to rack up the courage. :)
Other things:
I love Batman; have for a long time! I love the cartoon series.
Favorite books would be HP series. and Twilight saga.
But, I feel I should also state that I hate the movies of both series with a passion.
... screen adaptations never do it for me. Sigh ...

All three of our network printers started printing simultaneously (Konica copier, Sales printer and PM printer). I stopped the copier after close to a ream of paper was printed (didn't realize it wasn't an actual job). I deleted the job and noted the following info from the copier screen:
Number- 2187
User- PRINT
Originals- 438 [that's the number of pages – YIKES]
Attached is the first page from the copier printout. Every page thereafter had one line of gibberish on it.
Any idea what would cause such a bizarre issue?
3 Replies
Jun 8, 2012 at 2:59 UTC
When I see that one line of gibberish per page and many many many pages of it, it is usually a corrupted/unknown font someplace in the document. Why 3 printers all started printing it, now thats a mystery. Maybe your user sent it to one printer, saw it wasnt printing right, sent it to a second printer, same thing, then sent it to the third printer.
Jun 8, 2012 at 3:09 UTC
Are you using the PCL drivers or the PostScript? Was the source a PDF? We have a bunch of OCE copiers (re-badged Konica's) that sometimes behave in the same manner when a PDF is printed using the PCL drivers.

With the support of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC), thousands of privately owned RV Parks and Campgrounds across the United States have the opportunity to Plan-It Green. Proud to take a leadership role in helping those RV parks and campgrounds understand how they can become more "green," the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) offers its members looking to make the Earth friendly changes to their park ideas to reduce their energy and water usage, and to better manage their waste produced at the facilities, including recycling programs.
Waste Management and Recycling – By reducing the waste that will head to landfills, you will save your money through reduced purchasing and waste disposal costs.
Renewable Energy – When you chose to start using renewable energy sources; solar thermal, hydroelectricity, or wind, you will reduce your dependency on non-renewable energy sources and save money in the long run. This is a great option if you are in the process of building a new RV park or campground.
If you're in the process of building a new RV park or campground, there are some ways to incorporate renewable building materials in the construction. Usually you can find salvaged, recovered or re-milled lumber and get a better wood product compared to a new purchase. Instead of using wood for decking or fencing, there are many new products made from recycled plastics on the market. Recycled roofing shingles are another way to incorporate a renewable building material.
Energy Consumption – This is the quickest and simplest way to save money by reducing your energy bill. Ask for an energy audit and find out specific things you can do. Change your thermostat adjustments, even just a little and you can begin to save. And if you have a campground vehicle to travel your site, try to bike instead.
Water Conservation – Some of the ways to save on your water usage is to install low flush toilets, water less urinals and shower/flow restrictors in the bathrooms. You could install drought tolerant landscaping and collect rain to use for irrigation and landscaping.
Appliances – Try to buy energy efficient models. Did you know that in the United States, 26% of all electricity generated is used to operate refrigerators? Then there are solar powered clothes dryers or even just one with a moisture sensor control.
Campgrounds need to adhere to at least 3 of the following to even have the privilege of displaying the Plan-It Green logo:
• Recycle where possible and offer recycling to RVers and campers
• If a product or chemical harms our planet, avoid it
• Conserve water and energy usage after an energy evaluation
• Compact Fluorescent Lighting or EnergyStar products are being used
• Offsetting your carbon-footprint by planting trees throughout the park
• 100% green energy to guests
• Offer Earth friendly tips to your RV and camping guests
• Keep in mind that our precious natural resources are limited
About Naturally Earth Friendly
Naturally Earth Friendly was born out of a love for everything healthy and good for our bodies and planet. This includes tips to adjust our everyday lives, environmentally conscious efforts we can make and smarter natural products that help make a difference.

An economist walks into a bar…ouch. I kid…luckily, Yoram Bauman, aka the Stand-Up Economist, is funnier than I am. Since today is Friday and people are probably tired of serious stuff, I figured I would provide some more lighthearted material for you. The back story: Greg Mankiw is an economics professor at Harvard who has a very popular Principles of Economics textbook. This textbook begins by outlining the Ten Principles of Economics, which serve as a helpful organizing framework for the rest of the material. Dr. Bauman (yes, he actually has a Ph.D. in economics) then took the liberty of translating these ten principles to a, well, more humorous format:
If you liked that, you can find Dr. Bauman's web site here. (You can see more clips if you sign up for his mailing list.) There is also a YouTube clip of his stand up routine.
My favorite excerpt from the stand up routine: "You might be an economist if you go to a Chinese restaurant and open the fortune cookie and add 'at the margin' at the end of it." 🙂

By GINA KOLATA
Published: October 9, 1987
A new method of prenatal diagnosis may be less accurate than it has often been portrayed, according to a study and interviews with experts.
The method, chorionic villus sampling, is an increasingly popular alternative to the standard procedure, amniocentesis, and has been said to be just as accurate in detecting fetal abnormalities, including Down's syndrome, the leading genetic cause of mental retardation in this country.
The new method has been gaining popularity because it enables couples to find out about potential birth defects earlier in pregnancy. It can be performed as early as the eighth or ninth week of pregnancy, while amniocentesis is usually done at 16 weeks. One method or the other is often offered to older pregnant women, who are at increased risk of bearing a child with Down's syndrome or other chromosomal defects.
But evidence indicates that with the procedure for examining fetal cells that is most widely used in chorionic villus sampling, some abnormalities can be missed that amniocentesis picks up. Normal Fetus Is Aborted
The new study, reported by Dutch scientists in a recent issue of The British Medical Journal, found that in 15 out of 500 pregnancies the new method gave inaccurate results, indicating that the fetus might be abnormal when, in fact, it was not. In one case, a woman aborted a normal fetus.
By comparison, amniocentesis is almost totally accurate and presents less risk to the fetus, experts said. About one-half of 1 percent to 1 percent of the amniocentesis procedures result in a miscarriage. Although accurate data are not yet available on the newer method, health officials believe it presents a slightly greater risk.
''Nobody expected this,'' one of the study's authors, Dr. Lia C. van Prooijen-Knegt of the University of Amsterdam, said in a telephone interview. ''It was very surprising.''
Dr. David Ledbetter of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston said researchers in this country and in Europe were beginning to report cases in which chorionic villus sampling was not as accurate as amniocentesis, although few studies are published. A Way to Reduce Inaccuracies
Both Dr. Ledbetter and another expert in the chorionic villus method, Dr. Laird Jackson of Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, stressed that the inaccuracies of the new method could be reduced through adoption of more time-consuming and expensive procedures.
Unlike amniocentesis, which involves the study of fetal cells found in samples of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus, chorionic villus sampling examines tissue that is attached to the fetus. The fetal cells are obtained from chorionic villi, small hairlike projections that surround the fetus early in pregnancy. The test's accuracy appears to depend on where the cells come from on the tiny villi, which have three layers.
The inaccurate results, scientists said, apparently turn up when investigators look at the middle layer of cells that make up the villi. These cells divide rapidly even after being extracted, enabling geneticists to look at them immediately to see if they are abnormal. Chromosomal defects can most easily be seen in the process of cell division.
An alternative way to do the test is to examine cells from the third and innermost layer of the villi. Since these cells grow more slowly than the cells of the second layer, they must be grown in the laboratory for a week or so until there are enough of them to be analyzed. But, for some reason, analysis of these cells seems to be more accurate.
Dr. Jackson, who has performed 3,609 chorionic villus samplings in the past four years, more than any other American researcher, said he always used the slower method and never had a problem with inaccuracies.
''In our experience, the cultured cells always are accurate,'' he said, adding that there was even one case in which the chorionic test correctly predicted that a fetus had a mild form of Down's syndrome and amniocentesis did not show the defect. Popularity of Quicker Test
Most obstetricians in this country and Europe are doing the quicker test with the sendnd lerer of cells, Dr. Ledbetter said. The safest procedure would be to look at both the second and third layers of cells, he said. It would provide a double check on accuracy.
Yet, Dr. Ledbetter said, if both types of cells are examined, ''it would mean twice as much lab work and it would be twice as expensive.'' The cost of chorionic villus sampling with the quick test of the second layer is now about $500 at Baylor, the same as the cost of amniocentesis. The test of the inner layer cells would cost $250 more, Dr. Ledbetter estimated.
Until more data are in, Dr. Ledbetter recommends that women who select chorionic villus sampling ask for both of its methods of analysis.

Even though we get ESPN The Magazine delivered to our household, I must admit I've never opened it. (Heck, I thought the only Brian Wilson was a Beach Boy until earlier today.) This month, however, that will change.
The latest issue of the mag is "The Fiction Issue," and it's a collaboration with McSweeney's. Guest writers including Dave Eggers, Wells Tower, Fringe executive producer Jeff Pinkner and others pen sports-themed stories for the publication; ESPN declares "we think we're the first sports magazine to publish an issue dedicated to made-up stuff."
The issue is on stands now. And bonus: Eggers' piece is about beards! Now I can put some of that Brian Wilson knowledge into practice.

These are the items that appeared in Sector 2.
Major ItemsEdit
The Bombs are downloaded from a Data Room located on the map. It cannot be accessed until Blue Hatches are unlocked in the Level 1 Security Room.
High Jump/JumpballEdit
The High Jump and Jumpball are obtained from defeating Zazabi. Samus must bomb the floor of the room with Energy Tank 1. This will take Samus to a Gadora blocking a door. Once it is defeated, Samus can enter the next room, which contains Zazabi.
Plasma BeamEdit
The Plasma Beam is obtained by destroying Nettori. Nettori is in the middle right part of the sector in the area choked by vines.
Energy TanksEdit
Energy Tank 1Edit
From the extremely large vertical shaft at the bottom of the Sector, Samus must go through the door on the right that is mostly closed off by the wall. Samus should keep heading right until she reaches the tank.
Energy Tank 2Edit
In the room to the upper right of the large shaft that is closest to where Nettori was fought is a fake wall concealing a tunnel to another room. In the pillar jutting out of of the ceiling is the tank hidden by a Fake Block.
Energy Tank 3Edit
Samus must Screw Attack through the top left corner of the Security Room. This will reveal a hidden door bringing her to an area with platforms consisting of hidden Pit Blocks (a Power Bomb is useful in revealing them). To get to the Tank on the other side of the room, Samus must cautiously Space Jump.
Missile TanksEdit
Missile Tank 1Edit
The first Missile Tank in Sector 2 is above the destroyed entrance to the room connected to the Data Room. Samus must bomb the cracked blocks until she uncovers the secret area with the tank.
Missile Tank 2Edit
Samus must go into the door at the bottom left of the room that was connected to the Data Room. She must then bomb the sole block near the top to make a Shutter rise. Samus then shoot the left wall to reveal a small hole to a secret area. Samus must bomb the floor of the new area to make a shutter rise to gain access to the tank.
Missile Tank 3Edit
The tank is in the room in the lower left section of the Sector with the Dessgeega and the blue Zero. In the isolated section with the blue Zero and red Zeros, Samus must bomb the lower part of the right ledge. This will reveal a passage. She can either bomb the floor above the tank or fall through the Pit Blocks to reach the tank.
Missile Tank 4Edit
The Missile Tank is in the room to the left of the large vertical shaft across from the now destroyed door. It is able to be reached by grabbing the rungs and climbing above the water to the tank.
Missile Tank 5Edit
The Missile Tank is in the room to the lower left of the one with Missile Tank 4. In the water is a shutter that Samus can bomb to get to the door. In the next room, Samus must bomb the floor to find a shutter. She must then use the Jumpball to bomb the Bomb Block in the wall to the left.
Missile Tank 6Edit
In the room to the lower left of the first large room in TRO is a small tunnel for the Morph Ball tunnel to head to to the right. Bombing the wall will reveal a hidden section of the room with the tank.
Missile Tank 7Edit
The seventh Missile Tank is in the room through the Blue Hatch on the right side of the first major room of Sector 2. Samus must use the Jumpball to bomb the wall until she uncovers a hole leading to the tank.
Missile Tank 8Edit
In the room below the Recharge Station and Save Station at the beginning of the Sector, Samus must use the High Jump to jump over the Kago to get to the tank.
Missile Tank 9Edit
In the room where Samus fought Zazabi, she must Screw Attack through the top-right corner wall and then dash into the next room. On the way down, she must Shinespark into part of a wall to reveal this Tank.
Power Bomb TanksEdit
Power Bomb Tank 1Edit
In the large metal room a few rooms to the left of where Zazabi was fought is a vertical shaft with a thin right wall to the left of the room. The thin right wall can be destroyed with a beam weapon. The tank is to the right.
Power Bomb Tank 2Edit
After Nettori is defeated, bringing the Reactor Silo back online, the room containing the Power Bomb Tank can be accessed. It was previously blocked by a Zero in cocoon form. The tank is behind a wall with several Rippers and Pit Blocks to the right. Samus must either freeze the rippers or use the Space Jump to get to the tank.
Power Bomb Tank 3Edit
There is a Pit Block underneath Power Bomb Tank 2 that drops Samus onto a Fake Block containing the tank.
Power Bomb Tank 4Edit
In the same room as Energy Tank 3, Samus must fall through the Pit Blocks and then Space Jump over to this Tank on the bottom left corner.
Power Bomb Tank 5Edit
In the room where Samus fought Zazabi, she must Screw Attack through the wall in the top right corner and proceed through the door. Dropping down, she must climb up the room and perform a series of speed runs and Shinesparks onto slopes on platforms mostly consisting of Pit Blocks to reach the Tank just above the Door.

I had a good sesh with Charro last night. We were talking about my not weighing myself and other stuff. I said how I want to go back and read my FFJs to see how my eating compares to it did a few years ago because I don't know if I'm eating more, though I feel like I do, or if I'm just more lax about my eating and eating more variety. I also said that I wouldn't have anything to write about in my FFJ because I don't sit around thinking about how fat I am all day. So, Charro chimes in with, "You know what's funny? I would have NO idea that your thoughts and eating have changed because you never talk about it!! Why don't you give yourself credit? The only time you mention any type of change is when I really get tough with you, and then you just mention it in passing. We never discuss it." I guess I just feel like it's not important to discuss.
Charro also told me to have a hot chocolate when I'm in Florence. She said it's really thick and you have to eat it with a spoon. She said, "I want you to have a hot chocolate and then text me." I was like "You want me to text you from Italy? You'll be like 'her!'" She said, "No, I'll say 'baby (her child), PTC just had a hot chocolate.'" Ha! I thought that was cute.
Fall is here. I don't like it. I need to go to the gym. I don't want to. I'm walking an extra 8 miles a week (to school), which will stop when field hockey is over next month. That will stink because then I will probably gain weight. That's not good. I need to keep walking that much but I probably won't. I need to start walking to Charro's office again, though she will be on maternity leave so I guess that won't happen either. I'm going to get fat this winter. Ugh!

Funny emails
I am tired and watching Dancing with the Stars. I can't wait to go to bed. Tomorrow will be nice. I will work out in the morning. I will walk to Godiva with my friend and get my free piece of chocolate for the month, then I will walk to Charro's for my 6 PM appointment. I will probably stop at some stores along the way. Then I will go to the park to see Julianne Hough and Jennifer Hudson for free, if I can get in because I'll be getting there kind of late due to my sesh. Oh well. I will also work because I didn't do any of that today. I probably won't go visit my friend in the hospital tomorrow, but we shall see.
Hunger is funny
It's funny, yesterday I was dying of starvation, today I'm not hungry at all. I know I need to eat before I leave for my game, so I will, but I'm not hungry.
Charro asked how the weighing was going. I said I didn't weigh myself, but Saturday I weighed myself with my clothes on so I don't really know my weight but I know that it's okay. I guess I kind of lied because I did weigh myself yesterday morning, but the conversation seemed so rushed and I think she moved onto something else, so I didn't have a chance to tell her that I weighed myself yesterday. Oh well. I don't weigh what she wants me to weigh but I think she might think I do, I'm not really sure. When we talked about my weight she said "Is it okay?" I said "Yes" because it's okay for me, but I think she might have meant "Okay" for her, as in I weigh what she wants me to weigh. She said "Okay, I'm trusting you." So, I don't really know what that means.
So, that's that. My friend is still in the hospital and will be "indefinitely."

My leg is moving
I broke down and weighed myself this morning. My weight was fine but I feel like it's probably bad now. I was walking home from the gym and I was so incredibly starving that I thought I was going to die. All I could think about was getting home and eating and I couldn't get home fast enough. It's not like I didn't eat breakfast. I ate dinner late last night too, so I'm not really sure what that was about. I felt like I could have eaten a whole pizza if someone put it in front of me. Seriously! Maybe I have a tapeworm. I need to eat veggies tonight. I feel like I need them.
I've been watching The Brady Bunch all day. I baked some brownies from scratch too. That's it.

Jeans are stupid
I was supposed to weigh 100 last Friday, but did not. She gave me until yesterday but I didn't weigh myself so I don't know how much I weigh and she didn't ask me my weight because on Tuesday I told her that I wasn't going to weigh myself anymore. So, I am technically supposed to be 102 by this Friday, but I don't have to be, you know why? I can't weigh 102 if I don't weigh myself. :) Well, I mean I can, but I can't say that I don't weigh that if I don't weigh myself, therefore I won't have to weigh that. However, I think I need to weigh myself now. I might be starting to freak a little. I know it would be a lot now because I just downed some serious water and just ate dinner. I would weigh myself with my clothes on, just to get a feel of where I am. Okay, I think I'm going to do that. I shouldn't, but I might have to. I want to, actually. I don't have to. I'd actually be ok if I didn't get up and do it, but I really want to.
Wow, I was actually pleasantly surprised. I have clothes on, and I just ate. I know that my weight is okay now.
I'm tired and will go to bed soon.

Cazy love confessions
I got more crap from Charro this morning about staying involved with this whole situation with my friend S. I'm sorry, but I can't let someone I know, a friend (though not a close friend), sit in a hospital room all alone, day in and day out. It's not fair. I live down the street from the hospital so why shouldn't I visit? If seeing me can bring him happiness, why shouldn't I go??
I get what people are saying though. They don't want him relying on me. I've set boundaries. He knows he can't come back to my place. He knows I will be there for him but he can't come back and here and that I won't marry him! He thinks he's in love with me. So, I get that his lies and stuff are all ways for him to get access to alcohol. I also know that he is on a lot of meds too, so I can't believe much of what he says anyway. Charro wants me to transfer the emergency contact from me to his mom. I can't do that. Plus, I literally can't do that because the hospital won't do that. I tried to add his mom to the list and they wouldn't even let me do that because he doesn't want her to be on there.
Charro and I didn't talk about weight today. :) I haven't weighed myself here since Monday morning. I did weigh myself at home but that was it. I can't tell her my weight because I don't know it. Cool stuff, eh! I did say to her, at the end of the sesh "You're right, my eating does suck." She was like "Good timing. Wait til the end, but the good thing is that I will see you Monday morning so we don't have to wait too long to discuss it."
Now, S. is texting me and confessing his love. Geez in a box. I need a nap!
We have a game today against a tough team. I'm not even sure what time I need to be at the school. Wonderful.
Oh, a nutritionist came in to talk to S. while I was there to make sure he is eating okay. Ha! I was like, at least she's talking to him and not me!

Tired, hungry, and that's it
Too tire to write. Too tired to read. Too tired to eat dinner though I know I should. I don't really want to. The pizza smelled SO GOOD as I walked down the street but I need to have something healthy. I don't know what I will have, probably just a shake. I am hungry now so I know I have to have something so I don't wake up starving.
I weighed myself at home, on Bertha, but I can't report that weight to Charro because it's not on the scale I usually weigh myself on. :) Oh well.
I had lunch with my nephews at school today. They're so cute. They were excited. I miss them.
Um, I guess I should look for something to eat.
Oh yeah, and my friend is now in ICU and I don't know why. I'm going to go to the hospital tomorrow and try to find out. I spoke to him this morning and that was the last time. Everyone tells me to stop talking to him and not visit him, but I can't do that. No one should have to lay in a hospital alone all of the time. If I can be there for him I will, even if it's just for an hour. My mom is the only one who thinks me visiting him is a nice thing to do and I agree with her. My friends tell me to just leave him there and not get involved. Well, it's too late...I'm involved and any caring person couldn't let someone be there alone all day long. So tomorrow I will visit after I see Charro.

I don't want to get dinner
I was planning on getting dinner at Grand Central tonight, before I hop on the train. Now, I don't really feel like I should do that. Besides the fact that I feel like I shouldn't spend the money, (I hate spending money on food and feel like it's a waste) I feel like I shouldn't eat. I had a peach and a couple pretzels, now I know that's not dinner but I don't feel like I should eat dinner.
I am going to weigh myself tonight or tomorrow on my scale at home. It better be good or I will be pissed. I feel like I've been eating so much the past two days.
I am so tired, I just want to pass out. I woke up at 5:30 yesterday morning and went to bed after midnight because my friend's mom was talking my ear off. I don't think she really cares about his situation.
I should leave now so I don't fall asleep here, but then I will be sitting in the train station forever. That would annoy me. I hate food!
My alcoholic friend and stuff
I really have nothing to say lately. My friend, who is still in the hospital, has been taking up most of my energy. He left me 4 messages last night. I turn my phone off when I sleep so I don't get bothered. I really couldn't understand any of his messages, one he was crying in, another he asked if he can come stay with me. NO, he can't. I am going to bring his bag to the hospital today so he doesn't have to come get it when he gets released. He tried to escape last night. He told the nurse that his wife was in labor. Ugh! I can't deal with him anymore. I feel bad for him because his family doesn't give a crap. I can understand why though, after having to help him for so long. He needs to go right to rehab so I hope that's what happens.
I ran into Charro wattling into the office last night. I ran up to her so I could catch the door before it closed. I said "Hi" and she goes "Hi. Oh, I was wondering who the crazy person behind me was." Um, she couldn't tell by my voice? Is she supposed to call me "crazy?" ;) I said "I saw you wattling so I thought I'd save you from having to get up again." She said that she felt like she had a growth spurt or something, aka, she felt huge! She said she never weighs herself...ever. I don't get that. She said her weight never changes (when she's not preggers). I hate her for that. She said her metabolism is good because she eats. Whatevs. Food is stupid.
My leg was shaking last night. She yelled at me and told me to stop. So I moved that leg and started moving the other leg and yelled at me again. Why is that such an issue?
I haven't weighed myself since Monday morning. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning at home, or tonight when I get home. Bertha says I weigh less than this scale here. If I don't weigh myself, I don't need to gain weight because I won't need to tell Charro what my weight is. That is my plan! I think it's a good one. She didn't even say I had to weigh myself on Friday before I go and she didn't say she'd weigh myself. She won't weigh me because she wants me to move away from the scale, so the last thing she wants to do is bring one out.
See, nothing exciting to report. I haven't ready anyone's blogs in days. Sorry guys. Oh ya, we won our first game yesterday. Our team hasn't won in years. They almost got rid of the team last year because there weren't enough girls.
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
I've decided to stop weighing myself...sort of...maybe. (probably not). We shall see. Well, I don't want to weigh myself because I don't want to have to tell Charro my weight. Therefore, if I don't weigh myself I won't have to tell her my weight.
It's 8:30 AM and I've already taught class. We have our first game today and then I will rush off to Charro. Must nap too!
By the way, I'm sure I'll weigh myself. I am going to when I go home tomorrow night.

Update on the situation...and weight
Okay, so I weighed myself tonight and I don't weigh what Charro wants me to weigh tomorrow, so I'll probably weigh even less in the morning, though I did eat some pretzels and egg whites. Maybe she won't ask me how much I weigh. That would be fantastic.
So, that's it. He wants me to pick him up at Penn Station, but I am not going down there at 11 PM. I will tell him how to get here from there because I don't need to be down there by myself at this hour. Not so safe.
I will take my friend to Charro with me in the morning and he can sit in the waiting room or go walk around outside in the park or something. I don't think he's going to kill himself anymore, I think he just needs a friend. He apparently just got out of rehab (alcohol) a few weeks ago and is having a hard time and fighting with him mom. I talked to one of his friends and he filled me in on everything. So, that's the story...I think.
Not how I planned my day
Oh, I also set of my smoke detector while baking and jumped up off of my couch, tripped over my computer cord, and whacked my knee on something (the table I think). It was probably humorous to see.
I'll keep you posted on stuff.

Ultimate siting!!
Not much to report on today's sesh. I didn't really talk about anything. I will see her again on Friday. Maybe she won't ask my weight. :)
Oh yeah, David, I talked to Charro about the NEDA conference next year. She wanted to know why I'd want to go. She said "What will you say when they ask you what you're there as?" I said, "Marilyn Monroe." :) Then I said "I could say that I am a coach and want to make sure I am well informed because I deal with high school girls." She said she thought I might be bored at it, but I'm curious.

Worrying to much about being "fired"
I like how this is all one paragraph. :)
I see Charro tomorrow night. I am going to try to think of a lot of things to talk about. I hope it works.
Monday, September 14, 2009
My sesh with Charro was okay this morning. We didn't really talk about much. I told her about my dreams that I had. We discussed my weight again. She said that I need to be 100 on Friday. I told her that I really don't think I can gain the weight that she wants me to gain. She said if I'm not willing to do anything about my ED then we need to find something else to talk about. I said "Does that mean I don't have to weigh 102??" She said, (unwillingly) "I guess so."

Weight and weighing
Saturday, September 12, 2009
Charro will love this one
My doctor had clearly spent some time looking through my charts while she was out of the office and figured things out. I looked at her in a confused way. I was like "I weigh 99 pounds?? I don't remember ever weighing 108 pounds." She was trying to tell me that I had lost the weight in just a few weeks. I was trying to convince her that I hadn't weighed 108 pounds in years.
I'm not really sure what happened next, but I remember her calling me and I didn't pick up my phone. She left me a message and I listened to it. It said that I was not allowed to workout AT ALL! There was more to it but I can't remember. I just remember thinking that I did not want to tell Charro about all of this. I knew if she found out she was going to get really tough with me. I also knew I had to tell her some of what the doctor said. I was just going to leave out the "no working out" thing.
I had to see Charro that afternoon. The strange thing was that I was going to one of the groups that she leads in the afternoon, then I was going to her private practice after that. I don't know why I was going to her group because I was not in the program where she runs the groups, but I was going.
I walked across Park Avenue to get there, and it was a sunny, nice day. I ran into my goalie from college. I saw some guy wipe out on his skateboard, and I passed a bunch of Mexican food tents. (Weird). I got to the group and I felt stupid. The chairs were so close together and I didn't know anyone and didn't think anyone would want me there because I was not part of the program. I sat down and they all knew my name. I am assuming Charro told them I was coming. One girl started talking about field hockey and how she wants to play. I didn't say anything, but the girl next to me looked at me and said, "Why don't you tell her that you play?" Apparently Charro had told them I play field hockey.
I sat there and listened to people talk, but I said nothing. Group ended and I went outside to walk to the subway to go to my appointment with Charro. She walked out as well, but I wasn't sure if we were supposed to walk together or pretend that we didn't know each other. I think we walked together for a bit. I hadn't talked about what happened at the doctor in group, but knew I had to tell her in my sesh.
So, that was that. It was a pretty intense dream. I wish I could remember it perfectly.

No weigh in, just a report
No weigh in this morning. Charro asked if I weighed myself and I said yes and she asked what it was and I said "too high." That really wasn't the answer she wanted so I told her I weighed 100, which was NOT a lie. I did weigh 100 this morning, post pee, pre-food/drink. When I got home, however, I weighed 99...and this was after eating lunch. So, that was good. Charro said "okay, so next week you need to be 101." I was like, "No, I was only supposed to be 99 today so I only need to be 100 next week." She was like "You're 100 now so you need to be 101." I was like, "I don't think I'll be 100 when I wake up tomorrow. I think I'll be 99." She didn't like that and got into the whole "Do you really want to commit to this?" Answer - No, I don't want to gain weight, therefore I guess I don't want to commit.
So I emailed Charro to tell her that I weighed myself and weighed less than my initial report. We'll see if she gets back to me. I want to make cookies today. It is SOOO cold and rainy!!
I don't want to tell Charro my weight, or have her weigh me, because I weigh too much! I don't want to tell her how much I weigh. I plan on not staying at this weight so I don't want to tell her that I weigh 100 lbs and then next week tell her I'm back down. I just don't want to weigh this and I know I will wake up tomorrow and weigh less so why did I wake up weighing more this morning? I hate this. Yesterday I was 98, today 100. WTF? I mean, I'd have to lie to her if I was 98, but now I just feel stupid that I weigh more.
I guess I should get ready to go. Maybe we won't discuss weight and maybe I won't get weighed.
It's freezing out and rainy!! YUCK!

No firing last night
Charro wasn't bad last night. She could tell I was pissed at her though. I kind of just sat there for a while and then we chatted. I don't have time to get into it right now because I'm running out the door and won't get back on the train til later tonight. I hope I get home earlier than I expect to.
She didn't fire me. She said she was going to weigh me tomorrow and I told her that I could do it myself, so that's the plan. I am going to weigh myself, though I'm not sure if that means that I weigh myself at home or in her office. I hope she meant at home, which I think she did. This morning my weight was down, but I'm sure it will be up tomorrow because I have a work dinner to go to tonight. Of course it will be up. I kind of want to weigh myself on her scale to see the difference between hers and mine. Of course I'd be clothed though.
So, that's about it for now. Tomorrow should be another interesting sesh. She keeps calling me "missy." It's kind of nice. I told her that I will not gain to 102. Oh, I need to make a cons list for having an ED and bring it in tomorrow. Here's my list"
- My parents worry
- I am not living the life I could be living.
K, I gotta go.

Tonight's the night
Charro tonight. Hmm, I have no idea what's going to happen. If she asks me "How's your weight?" I will answer with "Fine." The non answer, answer. She won't go for that. I have no idea what we're going to talk about but she's going to ask me if I'm "committed" to "recovery." Um, not so much. So, therefore I will have to tell her my options:
- Quit
- Hold out until she fires me
- Lie
So, that's about it. Should be interesting and I'm anxious to go and I don't see her until 7 tonight. I'll have to literally run to Charro's from school tonight. Oh well, I'll wear my heart rate monitor and see how many calories I burn. :) I don't want to get fired, but I will not weigh 102! I'm 99 now, so if I'm following Charro's "okay, so gain one pound a week" thing, I'll be on her good side. I'm okay at this weight, I'm just not going to gain more. So actually, I won't get fired this week since my weight will be okay for her. This is just a freaking blast!
I ran into my neighbor (at home) the other day while I was in the parking lot of the grocery store. He said "You look so thin." I had absolutely NO response. I am just worried he's going to say something to my dad. My dad was actually at his house earlier that morning to get some peppers for me from his garden. I just hope he doesn't say anything to my dad. Ugh! That's the only thing I hate. I don't care if someone from the gym says something to me, but someone who is friends with my parents, well, that's bad because they might talk. No good.
K, going to the gym in a few. They're announcing the CMA nominees. My legs are tired and sore.

I want my control
This whole stupid weight thing with Charro has had the opposite effect on me. (was that supposed to be "affect?") It's made me mad and made me want to rebel and weigh myself more often and also made want to lose weight. Clearly it's a control thing. She's taking away my control, or trying to, and I won't let that happen!! So I say NO to weight gain and yes to stepping on the scale more. Can't wait to see what happens when I see her tomorrow night. Should be interesting. I want to go in there and just say nothing and see what she says.
I have no milk and need to go get some so I can eat breakfast, but I don't feel like it. I hate when I don't have any milk. Buggers.

Almost there
Alumni game = AWESOME! Scored for us old fogies, though I was the oldest one playing. Got a great workout. There is nothing better than that feeling after a hardcore game. I LOVE IT!! I saw some peeps I hadn't seen in a while. My coach is going to be in the city in two weeks so I think we're going to hang out. That will be cool!
I think I gained 3 of the 4 pounds Charro said I had to gain. So, I need to get those off. Ugh! I will not allow for excess poundage.
I can't wait until Wednesday when I see her and see what she has to say. I'm calling her bluff on having a scale in her office because I don't think she does. I will make her show it to me and then I will believe her.
I know, I know...I'm a pain in the ass...a stubborn one.
My thoughts, and I've been having a lot of them
I know you are all probably thinking "This girl is so disordered and she doesn't know it. She can't read our ED blogs but she's disordered!" I won't deny that I'm disordered. I could tell other people that 4 pounds isn't a big deal, but I cannot, for the life of me, see that to be okay for myself. I initially went to Charro because I was curious and knew that there was something wrong, but I never went there wanting or willing to change. I figured at some point that I would eventually start wanting to, but that hasn't happened yet. Yes, I have made some "big" changes that Charro is happy with, but I know there's still more, bigger, ones that need to be made. My point, I don't want to yet. I didn't want to back then and I still don't want to. I never went in there "wanting" help and nothing can be done until I really do want help. Going and talking to her helps me in other ways, like keeping me somewhat sane, but I'm not willing to make those big ED changes, like gaining weight.
So, I don't know what I will do when I see her on Wednesday. I'm going to pretend like we have nothing to talk about, but she will bring it up. I can either A.) Lie to her when she asks how much I weigh; B.) Tell her that I'll just quit now and save us both time and me money, because she's going to fire me anyway; C.) Ask her if she will continue to see me and we can pretend I don't have an ED and discuss other things. I had a D too but I don't remember what it was. So, those are my options.
As for right now, I'm going to eat my breakfast, go to the gym for little bit to see who's there and catch up with people I haven't seen in forever, then I will go play in my alumni field hockey game and hope and prayer that I come out without any concussions or injuries. I will be the oldest one there too. Go me. Ha! I better tool around those tikes!

Me, obsess about this? Nah!
She ended our sesh with this yesterday:
"Alright missy, are you gonna think about this or what? I don't want you to think about it all weekend, I want you to enjoy the weekend, but give some thought about it on Tues. I don't want you to obsess about this. I didn't even use the word firing, all I'm asking is for you to look at what's in it for you to change, and whether you want to make the change, and then to decide whether you want to trust me that that is one way towards change. I'm not forcing you to do anything. I want you to really, really look inside yourself and think about what you want and what this 100 lb thing is doing for you."
The "alright missy" seemed to be said in a very caring voice. UGH!! That's really all I can say right now. She might fire me, she might not. I might lie, I might not. All I know is that I will NOT go to 102.
Gotta go.

4th time is NOT the charm
So her "non-negotiable" weight gain for the next two weeks ended up being negotiable because I got her down to just 2 pounds instead of four, but she said I need to gain for in the next month. Not happening. I'm supposed to stay at a "stable 102" meaning that I "don't ever go below it." BS! She said "I know you can get to 102 in two weeks." NO WAY and I'm not going to. I told her that I'd like to see her eat 14,000 extra calories in the next two weeks. She said she could do it. Whatevs.
Charro also said that I'm not "in recovery" (duh), but I'm in the "precontimplation" phase. She said she wants me to think about all of this and tell her, on Wednesday when I see her, if I am willing to make a commitment or we'll discuss things. She said "I never said I'd fire you" but I know she would if I didn't hit 90%. Whatever. Even if i do gain the weight, I can lose it while she's on maternity leave.
I guess none of it matters because the choice is all mine. I do not want to gain weight, therefore I won't. That's really the simple answer. I will continue to eat the way I do, and I do eat a decent amount, and workout the way I do and that will be it.
That's about it.

Can't wait to chill
I'm here...for another hour at least. I am exhausted. No field hockey tomorrow, just Charro in the morning and the gym at some point. That's it! I have to teach aerobics tonight and I can't wait until I'm home, showered and sitting on my couch.
I don't have much to say. Saw Charro last night, for the third night in a row. It was a little intense, but good I guess. I'll see her in the morning too. We changed my appointment because I wasn't supposed to be here tomorrow but now I will be here so she said I could come in. So, I am.
Don't have much else to say. I lost 2 pounds and it's because of my crazy schedule and walking to and from the school everyday, and field hockey and stuff. It will come back. I guess if I wake up and am still "underweight" then I should mention it to Charro. Maybe, maybe not. I just want to take a nap right now. My armpits smell and I don't really care about that. I don't feel like writing. I haven't been reading any blogs, I'm just happy to sit on the couch and do nothing! I just feel like I need a break from everything for a few days.
Tuesday, September 01, 2009
Oh boy
So the exciting part of my day was watching Sarah Jessica Parker film Sex in the City 2. Yep, I watched from the window of the school. It was sooo cool. I took some pics on my phone. She waved to all of the girls and they were all excited. I LOVE NYC for this reason. I see so many freaking shoots, but the SJP sighting was by far the coolest one yet.
Then, I was walking to the subway to see Charro and some old fucking lady apparently didn't like where I was walking and stuck her elbow out and elbowed me and muttered some nonsense. She was old, hunched over and smoking a cig. WTF?? Seriously! Then I was all pissy when I got to Charro's.
I need to come up with something good to talk to Charro about tomorrow. I asked if she could see me tomorrow and she said yes. She's so nice. So, tomorrow is as such: Practice 8-1 PM (That includes travel), back home, CPR 3 PM, my field hockey 5:30 pm. So, I will walk to the school three times tomorrow because we play field hockey in the park right by the school. Then I will leave field hockey early and hustle 25 blocks to Charro. Maybe I will be able to breathe at some point. I don't have time to eat with this schedule. Oh well.

|This blog is an official interview of the Fanon Fact Finders. We hope you enjoy it!
Hey Avatar Wikians! This is my first ever official interview for the FFF and I'm proud to say it is with none other than the spectacular creator of "The Kyoshi Chronicles" - Kyoshidude. It is about the origins of the beloved earth Avatar, Kyoshi, and how she becomes the Avatar, stretching right across the world or "States" as her journey unfolds.
Let's get this interview on the move.
Okay let's first start briefly with book 1. Things get going rather quickly, starting with Kyoshi finding out she's the Avatar to getting involved in the Earth State war.
1) So my first question is this...Why did you choose to have Kyoshi be unable to bend at all at the start?
I suppose it was just for shock value. From going to no bending to Avatar State bending just seemed like it would be more of a surprise than going from earthbending to earthbending with glowing eyes (even though we already knew Kyoshi was going to find out she was the Avatar one way or another).
2) We meet several characters along the way, such as Bako, Momzen and many others. Who has been your favourite to write about so far?
Hmm...I'm not too sure. Each character has their own quirks that have been enjoyable to write. Sometimes when I'm writing for Kyoshi, it's great, other times it's hard. Momzen's comedy has been fun, and I like writing his flashbacks too. Eya, too, I like writ g her dialogue because it's so formal and based on spirituality so much.
3) Why did you choose for The Earth State to appear as the main enemy in book 1?
Well! Momzen's parents might not be dead. I only said they were captured... Anyway, I will answer your question with a question. Did you ever wonder how the Earth Kingsdom got so much bigger than the other nations? They're the bad guys because I'm just answering that question myself.
Your own personal Fanon on canon, nice!
4) Last on book one, why did you focus so much on character development over anything else despite a bit of action here and there?
Book one was all about Kyoshi trying to settle into the responsibility thrust upon her and figuring out what it all meant to her. Sure she was in hostile territory so there had to be some action, but I felt like going into the mind set of girl who had trusted the Earth State all her life, only to find out it was all a lie needed more character development than action. Plus action is a b*tch to write...
Yeah I've realised hat lately with my Fanon. Oh well.
Moving swiftly onto book 2. You have only released a few, yet compelling, chapters so far in book 2, you have stated that Kyoshi's looking for a firebending teacher.
5) My first question for book 2 is this. Why didn't you choose Momzen to teach her, like how Zuko did for Aang?
Nice question. You will just have to wait and see what happens... But I will give you this. This is a traditional era - I guess bending prodigies are expected to train from a master an only from a master. Besides, Zuko was a last resort because nobody in the Fire Nation would teach Aang.
There was Jeong Jeong though...
6) Anyway. You have had the characters resent Eya in chapter two, specifically Kyoshi, is this to show that she will be the difficult one to have on the team?
Not entirely, I suppose it was to emphasise that Earth and Air are polar opposites, hinting towards e fact that Kyoshi will have troubles with airbending in the future.
7) We have yet to see anything on the Water State, will they be in future chapters, or will they be taking a back seat so we can learn more about the Air and Fire States?
Book 2 is Fire, book 3 is Air, book 4 is Water and Book 5 is The End. So the Water State will come into play eventually but we've got a while to go until we see any ice cities.
8) Back to Eya. Will we see Eya connect with the other characters as the story goes on, besides Kyoshi?
A bit with Bako in this book. In the next (Air) she will definitely come to the foreground of the storyline, but in book 2 she's got her own little spiritual subplot going on.
9) Why do you refer as the new team Avatar (well old, if that makes sense) as the "Kyds", what made you decide on such a name?
Well Gaang was a play on words of "gang". Kyds is just a play on the word "kids". It just makes it easier for me to refer to them as that, instead of listing all the people in the my chapter summaries.
10) Poor Eya isn't on the picture on the home page, I know that is for book one, but shouldn't you have a new picture or is this to imply something big is going to occur in the future, or am I just thinking too deeply?
I absolutely LOVE that picture! It was done by the amazing Kugumi - who, unfortunately, is no longer doing illustrations for the Fanon portal. I had hoped to get one for each book...but...oh well.
11) Will we be seeing more of Astrid and Mitinari, or are you going to allow some new villains to come to the stage?
Astrid yes, and Naote will get some development too. Mitinari I don't think has ever said a word and I haven't planned for him to speak ever (unless the time comes and it's 101% necessary to the plot). He's just meant to be silent and creepy. But Book 2 will see the appearance of some extra (major) villains.
Hmm. Look forward to it
12) Will Garuku make another appearance or will you focus more on Momzen's family this time around over Kyoshi?
In the last book he will, but I suppose anything's up to change - he could always come back if Kyoshi really needed some family time. But yeah, Momzen's family will be the family in focus this cook and I'm really hoping that tears will be shed by my readers' eyes.
13) Ajagara...A Dragon!!! Why have you implemented a dragon into this story? (Besides the fact that DRAGONS are the COOLEST)
AH, DRAGONS! I'm excited too! Correct me if in wrong but the dragon was killed by Uncle Iroh?
Nope. He only said that to protect them
This is set way before Iroh so whatddaya know, DRAGONS EVERYWHERE!. Ajagara, he's got some importance.
14) This question is for your Fans and Lurkers. You released a preview of chapter 4. I read the preview and the question I ask is this - When are you going to give us the full chapter? I and many others are dying to read on, after all they are finally at the Fire State!
Ugh. I want to release it so badly! I want to say by the end of the month but probably not... I'm going to say mid-July. The release of Korra Book 3 will inspire me to take back to the keyboard. Either way, you should be excited because Chapter 4 is going to change the course of everything.
15) 'My final parting question. I feel compelled to ask, but I must know. Why did you choose me to interview you? Not that I didn't want to be asked but, I'm a new member, so why me when I'm inexperienced?
Hey, you got accepted into the FFF for a reason, so I had no doubts that your skills as an interviewer would be excellent.
They are, and you questions are just fabulous!
Why thank you. Please don't fuel my ego though ;).
16) Next to last question here. You killed off Chang in book 1. Will this have an effect on the characters as we get further into book 2?
I don't think so. Chang's death was more to streamline the events of Omashu; to raise the stakes and make it seem like the Earth State was an actual threat.
17) What inspired you to write this Fanon, what made you want to go out and share your ideas with the world of Avatar?
Hmm. I love to write; that's about it. To tell you the truth I want really into the idea of a Fanon about Kyoshi, but as I got into it and started mapping out the characters arcs and plot events I fell in love. I really don't want this Fanon to become discontinued because I have become so attacked to Kyoshi and Bako, Torri and Astrid: everyone. They all deserve an ending, I'm determined to get there someday. Other than that, the community here in the Fanon portal is what makes me want to release chapters. Everyone is so helpful and encouraging, there's no other way to thank them what they want - some words on a screen.
Thank you so much for such a great interview...
Hey no problem, it has been a real pleasure
But I've got three questions for you.
Excuse me, questions?
18) Up to now, who is your favourite character?
19) For you, what chapter stands put amongst the rest?
20) And finally, what do you want to see happen in Book 2? Because I'm entirely open to ideas. Thanks Snivystorm!
Wow, you want my opinion? Okay, this could be fun.
18) Hmmm. I think my favourite character so far has to be either Momzen or Eya. When I first read the scene with him and Kyoshi in the cell, I liked him straight away, just that hint of comedy (I've always loved the comic relief or comedic characters). Eya is just a joy to read, I have always liked airbenders. Pacifism -the belief that all disputes can be settled by peaceful mean!
19) I'm not too sure. They are all wonderfully written chapters. I don't know! I liked the one with the sandbenders, the opening chapter, Omashu chapters, the first of book 2. I'm not sure. I'm going to go with Momzen's first chapter, chapter two I think it was. Such a fantastic introduction for him.
20) I definitely want to see development with Momzen and Eya. Maybe perhaps have a conflict with the group, separating them? But this isn't my story, it is yours! Don't let me dictate what you need to write. Though please give us more firebending!
And there we go. That's all the questions I have to ask Kyoshidude for today and all the ones he has for me. I hope you will give his Fanontastic fanon a read, it is one to certainly look over where ever you are in the world. Once again, thank you to Kyoshidude for giving me several splendid hours of reading his remarkable Fanon, and hopefully the same to all of you readers out there!
This is Snivystorm signing off ---

—To determine general and regional indices of structural brain abnormality in schizophrenia.
—Case-control comparison study.
—Fifty-two patients diagnosed as having schizophrenia according to the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Revised Third Edition, were compared with 90 healthy volunteers recruited from the community.
—Structural brain images were acquired using magnetic resonance; measurements were obtained using three-dimensional visualization of volume-rendered brains and an automated atlas-based dissection of specific regions. General measures included the volume of total brain tissue, total cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and CSF within the ventricular system. Regional measures included the volume of tissue and CSF in the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes and the cerebellum.
—Compared with the controls, the patients had a smaller average volume of total brain tissue and a greater average volume of total and ventricular CSF. A specific relative decrease in brain tissue was found only in the frontal lobes, although the volume of CSF was greater in patients than in controls in all brain regions.
—In addition to the generalized brain abnormalities observed in schizophrenia, a regional abnormality may be present in frontal regions. Since the frontal lobes integrate multimodality information and perform a variety of "higher" cognitive and emotional functions that are impaired in schizophrenia, the frontal abnormality noted is consistent with the clinical presentation of the illness. Impaired frontal function and a disruption in its complex circuitry (including thalamocortical projections) may explain why patients with schizophrenia often have significant deficits in formulating concepts and organizing their thinking and behavior.(JAMA. 1994;272:1763-1769)

By 2015, the African-American population, which makes up 13.7 percent of the United States total population, is expected to have a buying power of $1.1 trillion, according to The Nielsen Company.
The report, which is titled, "African-American Consumers: Still Vital, Still Growing," which was commissioned by the National Newspaper Publishers Association, shed a light on the underrepresented potential and spending power of the African-American community.
Though Black Americans are making massive contributions to the economy through their spending, there are signs that suggest the African-American community's buying power may not be viewed as such a powerful thing after all - at least according to Dr. Boyce Watkins, who reported in the Financial Times that Jewish businessmen referred Black spenders as "liquid money," because they spend it so quickly, and to businesses that are not owned by Blacks.
"The same way that water falls out of a man's hands, money typically seeps out of a black person's hands the same way. Your community gets money and immediately gives it all away to people who aren't black. We see that as a huge business opportunity," a Jewish business owner reportedly said.
"He then used the example of many black people on payday or when we get our tax refunds," Boykins wrote. "He noted how we'll go to an Indian business to cash the check, an Asian hair salon, a corner store owned by Arabs and a department store owned by whites. He explained how, when it's all said and done, these other business people are waiting like hungry animals to eat our bank accounts as if we are the prey."
With that said, should the Black community be proud of its spending power? More importantly, should African-Americans be focusing on spending their money at more Black-owned businesses?

I built my first website in 1999. It was stuffed with tables, background-images and spacer.gifs. But I fell in love. I created pages for friends or random people from the internet just for fun. After finishing school I began to study Computer Science in Dresden to learn more about computer technology. Everything I learned there was totally different from creating a static website.
For my diploma thesis I moved to Munich to work as a researcher at Fraunhofer ESK on a project called ELEPHANT. The aim was to create a tool that helps people to generate context sensitive mobile apps. While writing my thesis I got fascinated with the mobile field. Because I wanted to learn from the experts in mobile development, I applied as a developer at CELLULAR, an agency known for their mobile solutions.
After 3 years working for CELLULAR on many different projects and building great mobile websites I wanted to try something new. I was looking for an opportunity to combine working for clients on new challenging projects and also having more time to spend on side projects and things that are important to me. I decided to work as a contractor for different companies and projects. I got involved in the startup and coworking scene in Vienna and I supported female developers and entrepreneurs.
In fall 2015 I moved to Boston to work for Circle Internet Financial. Together with my amazing, skilled and fun team we are building the product that changes the way people use money in the future. It is a big challenge, but also so much fun!
What I love
I beautiful things like art, furniture and digital designs. I also love food from all over the world; everything that stimulates our senses.

Medical coding professionals ensure that medical facilities receive proper credit and compensation for completed tasks. Since the role of a medical coder is so important, their training must be comprehensive and effective. Teaching a medical coding class requires patience and attention to detail to ensure the next generation of medical coders is equipped for the job.
Refresh yourself. Medical coding practices and classifications are regularly updated to reflect the trends of modern health care. For example, a medical code representing a disease state may change to a different code classification following agency examination. Keep yourself informed of the latest changes to ensure the information you teach is the most current available. Sign up for updates from the World Health Organization (WHO) to maintain your knowledge.
Stay in your lane. Stay on task by creating lesson plans that strictly address the course syllabus. The world of medical coding is vast and includes both procedural and diagnostic coding information. Many medical coding classes are broken into sections that offer specific areas of focus such as hospital coding. Keep the aim of the class in mind to give the students the information they need.
Instill disciplined retrieval methods. Teach students to use a structured system of locating the proper codes. This includes showing them proper desk and reference material organization. Many coding errors can be prevented by maintaining an uncluttered workspace. Help the students understand that their workspace should be neat and equipped with the latest medical coding tools such as books and software.
Focus on anatomy and terminology. Quiz the students on their knowledge of medical terminology and anatomy on a regular basis. A solid foundation in these areas is needed to accurately code various medical and insurance forms. Much of a medical coder's time may be spent interpreting patient reports and diagnostic information to determine proper coding assignments.
Provide practice opportunities. Introduce the students to coding assignments slowly to let them practice interpreting information and retrieving codes. Shadow the students to ensure their retrieval methods are up to par. Grade the students work to provide feedback on their skills. As the class progresses, the coding practice should increase in scope and intensity. This will give the students the best chance at real-world success.
Tips & Warnings
- Always use the latest coding software and classification indexes.
- Ensure your students are aware that codes can change over time. Encourage them to note deadlines and update their reference materials prior to mandatory changes.
- Avoid skimming over medical terminology and anatomy. These areas are especially important in medical coding.

In the first episode of a new podcast series, Josh Hall considers the importance of marketing.
Marketing is one of the most important tasks facing any business owner – and yet it is also one of the most frequently overlooked. This is perhaps because it is often misunderstood. Many business owners do not understand why they need to bother with marketing, or they presume that it is something they can only do with a big budget.
Marketing is a broad term. It involves almost every aspect of the process by which you encourage potential customers to buy your products or services. Marketing is therefore at the heart of every successful business.
Marketing is a multi-stage process. To begin with you will probably have to identify your potential customers, and this might involve doing some market research. Then you might decide on tactics to help you sell your products or services to those potential customers. You will then test those tactics, and use the results of your tests to improve. As you can see, marketing is an ongoing process – not a one-off.
You may already have heard of the phrase 'the four Ps'. This is an important concept in marketing, and is also known as the 'marketing mix'.
The four Ps are the four most important elements of any marketing campaign. They are product, price, place and promotion.
The product could be tangible or intangible – that is, it could be a physical object like a loaf of bread, or it could be a service. There are an almost infinite number of considerations when it comes to product development. These might include packaging, functionality, and safety.
Pricing is the second P. Pricing decisions might include working out your break-even, developing seasonal offers, and deciding how flexible you can be with potential customers.
Place, the third P, is all about distribution. Broadly speaking this refers to the process you use to get the product or service to the customer. Your distribution methods will depend on the nature of your business, but primary concerns might include developing an efficient inventory system and deciding on the distribution channels you will use.
Finally, promotion refers to your marketing communications – that is, the materials you use to talk to potential customers. Amongst other things you will need to develop a unified tone of voice to ensure that your message is consistent across every channel. You will also have to consider which channels you use.
There is a huge range of marketing techniques that you might choose to explore. These range from the conventional to the bizarre; from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Some businesses can derive great benefit from old favourites like direct mail. This provides you with the opportunity to contact potential customers in a straightforward manner – but it has significant potential drawbacks. Direct mail can be expensive, and it can also result in something of a scattergun approach in which you may not be targeting the people who are most likely to be interested in your product.
Alternatively, you might choose to explore advertising. A well-placed advert in a local paper can be a great way to drum up interest in a new business. Similarly, the internet has provided businesses of every size with the opportunity to deliver a highly targeted message to a large number of potential customers, quickly and at relatively little cost.
There is a limitless number of marketing techniques to investigate. Finding the techniques that work for your business is a key part of developing a successful marketing strategy. So, in the next episode of the Simply Business podcast, we will be looking at how you can measure the success of your marketing activities – and keep building on them to get the results you need.
