Heaven Dragon

If you are looking for some outstanding Chinese food, I'd highly recommend  this place!  You are likely to be impressed with the food, the service and the atmosphere.

We chose to start our meal off with the classic Egg Drop Soup. I never really expect much from this soup as it's just a filler in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised with how good this soup was though! It was probably one of the more flavorful versions I've ever had.

My main course was Sesame Chicken.  It came with fried rice and Crab Won-tons.  The Won-tons were great! Creamy and rich just as you would expect.

The Sesame Chicken was the highlight of my day! It was made of purely white chicken.  Though it was fried, it didn't taste overly fattening and greasy. It was crisp, moist and incredibly delicious.  The flavors are outstanding, sadly after I was half way done it became a bit too sweet for me.

I have heard great things about their fried rice. I really wasn't that impressed with it. It was good, but there was nothing note-worthy about it.  I especially liked it mixed in with my sweet sauce from my chicken!

My husband ordered the Beef Lo Mein. We both love noodles and thought this dish was pretty good.  I loved the beef! It added an extra burst of flavor to the dish. I would prefer to have this dish be a substitute to the rice rather than a dish served with rice.

The Egg roll was good. Rather than dipping it in the sweet and sour sauce they provide, I dipped it into my Sesame Chicken sauce which was amazing! It wasn't the best egg roll I've ever had but it was good.

Our friends ordered the Vegetable Chow Fun. I was pretty excited since I was curious about this dish. It's similar to Chow Mein or Lo Mein but it's made with rice noodles. I love the tiny clear rice noodles and was hoping this dish contained those. Rather, it's the fat rice noodles but it's still a pretty good dish! I would or course order it with a meat but vegetables were a healthy alternative and ended up tasting pretty good too.

Over all I would highly recommend Heaven Dragon. I would certainly order their Sesame Chicken any day but would also go back to try their Vietnamese Noodles. I would certainly order the Egg Drop soup as my soup of choice but I think I'd stick with their Crab Won-tons as my side rather than the egg rolls.   I can't wait till my next visit!

Among the largest challenges for the Colts in 2012 was fielding a healthy offensive line. Injuries cost starters games, while some outings forced Indianapolis to adjust in action. While improvement is sought on every unit going forward, the line play was admirable this past season.

INDIANAPOLIS – In a perfect world, the Colts would have fielded an offensive line last year that would have opened consistently as a unit.

Center Samson Satele, right guard Mike McGlynn and right tackle Winston Justice were new to the team and were tabbed to start the year.  Anthony Castonzo was set for left tackle, while Indianapolis looked for Joe Reitz to open at left guard.

The NFL is anything but perfect, and injuries took an immediate toll.  Reitz was inactive for the first six games and for seven overall.

Justice and Satele started as often as possible, but they both were inactive four times.  McGlynn and Castonzo were the only intended starters to open every game, but even McGlynn had to shuttle inside on an occasion when Satele was nicked.

“I say this with a lot of conviction, there was only I believe four games this year where our starting offensive line played together,” said General Manager Ryan Grigson.  “How can you have a cohesive unit?  That’s a unit that’s like a fist.”

A former lineman himself, Grigson is spot on with the assessment.

Cohesion was not a possibility in 2012.  Reitz, Jeff Linkenbach and Seth Olsen split the starts at left guard.  Even though Reitz opened eight games, one start at Detroit lasted three plays before he suffered a concussion.

McGlynn shifted to center once last year when Satele was down, but the majority of the time A.Q. Shipley found playing time in the anchor position.

For the third straight season, Jeff Linkenbach was a 16-game performer and while he did not play every snap as he did last year, 2012 was an impressive year.

Linkenbach started four times at right tackle and left guard.  He moved into the lineup early when Reitz was concussed at Detroit, but he finished that game at right tackle when Justice was concussed.  Shipley subbed at left guard late during the club’s 35-33 comeback win over the Lions.

“We had to band-aid that O-line and move guys around, and what a credit it is to our staff that we were able to get guys,” said Grigson.  “In this league, to do what those coaches did and to mix and match, to finish a game against Detroit with A.Q. Shipley playing guard, that’s such a credit to our staff and to our players.

“Link (Jeff Linkenbach) playing against Bryan Robison and Everson Griffin in that Vikings game and winning that game playing right tackle, filling in at guard when needed, playing through injuries.  The A.Q. Shipley’s of the world that were out of football the year before (are impressive).  He came in and then we beat the Packers with him.  He starts a handful of games this year, and he came in in spot duty and really didn’t miss a beat.  Seth Olsen started for us this year before he was hurt, and we won games.  Winston (Justice) battled his rear off this year, fighting through a lot of different injuries.”

Grigson noted after the season the line does need to provide better pass protection, but he was quick to cite a unit that started seven different configurations.  It never had more than three straight games with the same opening unit and only had four outings where the season-opening intended starters played together.

“We’ve had guys on that line, it’s like a walking wounded,” said Grigson.  “We had so many guys just dinged up.  The fact that we were as versatile as we were was something.”

Not Comics: Rebecca Mead On Relatability

There's an interesting post/article over at the New Yorker about the idea of "relatability" as a value in and of itself. I don't have any problem with any criteria anyone wants to bring to the art they consume, but I do bristle a bit when consumption preferences act as unchallenged stand-ins for how we decide what art has worth and what that worth might be. While it's fun for me to see my own problems through a fun-house mirror or simply made grand and compelling on a screen, on a stage, in the pages of a novel, I also value equally learning about the rest of human experience not directly my own. In that way, I'm convinced art has helped me become a better person and helped more of the world become less consumed by conflict and subsistence than it otherwise might be.

It's also baffling to me that someone that exists as a person in western culture couldn't find at least one thing in every Shakespeare play to which to directly relate, but that's one of the problems I have with relatability as a standard of worth: it tips things in favor of blunt, direct engagement and most of the valuable art I've experienced in my life is not that. Anyway, as it's still summer, I urge you to see Shakespeare up on its feet, including the two works in question. I also urge you before Labor Day to pick up a comic that features someone that doesn't look or think like you, particularly if like me most art leans your direction by default.

New York Showcase: A Great Opportunity

June 01, 2009

Participating in the New York senior showcase is a prestigious tradition for theatre majors - a tradition that can often lead to the immediate launching of post-graduation careers, even on Broadway. Some success stories include former Miss America Kate Shindle (C98), who is still represented by the agency who signed her at her senior showcase, and Nancy Braun (C07), who scored a role in Gypsy on Broadway, while her classmate Rachel Frankenthal (C07) secured a role in the national tour of MAMMA MIA as a result of agents seeing their talents in the 2007 showcase.

Kate Shindle

"Many of the alums who are appearing on Broadway--like Jim Weitzer (C96), Raymond Lee (C04), Lily Rabe (C04), Mamie Gummer (C05), Carrington Vilmont (MUS00)--and many others--have gotten their opportunities from the agents who saw them in the showcase," says theatre professor and director of the American Music Theatre Project Dominic Missimi. "Jenny Powers is currently in Happiness directed by Susan Stroman, and she has also appeared on Broadway as Rizzo in Grease and in Little Women."

The New York showcase is held each spring at a New York theatre. The showcase features a group of theatre and music theatre students who auditioned for a spot on the program in the fall of their senior year.

The auditions are divided into separate sessions for students interested in music theatre and theatre; students can try out for both tracks if they wish. This was the case for senior Starr Busby, an ad hoc major in voice studies with a certificate in the music theatre program.

While Busby says the auditions can be understandably stressful, they are "a real way to draw the community together," including both music and theatre students as well as their professors.

The theatre auditions involve students preparing two minutes of material, and if the student is called back, he or she prepares two minutes of a scene with a partner.

"It's a scramble to find a scene partner for call backs," says senior theatre major Jake Cohen who participated solely in the theatre showcase.

Busby took a fall quarter class designed to help students prepare specifically for the music theatre auditions. Taught by Amanda Dehnert, the class prepares students to deal with cold readings, learn auditioning techniques and develop "half a book" of music theatre material.

A group of 20 students - a combination of strictly theatre and music theatre - are ultimately selected for the New York showcase.

The process is by nature selective, but Cohen says the theatre department does a great job of stressing to seniors that while the showcase is "A door, it is not THE door" to opportunity.

"It's important to know they (theatre department) really believe that when they say that to their students," Cohen says.

The students selected for the showcase take winter quarter preparation classes -- one for acting and the other for music theatre, if the student is on that track.

Associate professor David Bell directs the showcase and finds a common thread between the music theatre students' songs and decides where to place each of the theatre students' scenes, ultimately producing a cohesive showcase performance.

An invited audience of New York talent agents and casting directors attend the two-day showcase in New York. The agents and directors can request to set up meetings with or simply receive resumes from the various students who perform. The students who are called back for meetings spend the following week in New York setting up and attending those meetings. Both Busby and Cohen said they took advantage of the kindness of friends, crashing at their New York apartments the following week as a way to make the showcase experience more affordable.

"It's a great opportunity that Northwestern has created," says Busby, who met with six agents as a result of the showcase. "It works for some people, and doesn't for others... You have the Northwestern name behind you, and you never know what can happen for that. It's a strange experience, but I am definitely grateful for it."

Busby says she plans to move to New York after graduation to sign with one of the agents she met as a result of the showcase. Cohen says he plans to do the same.

"Northwestern really hands it over to you in a really generous way, getting industry there and supporting you through the process, and creating a room of people who want to support you through the process," Cohen says. "I was really proud of the school while I was there, I have to say."

Theatre professor Cindy Gold, who directs the showcase along with Bell, says throughout the process she and the rest of the involved faculty spend time preparing the students for the emotional rigors of the audition process.

"Agents can say destructive things to students," Gold says, citing an example of an agent who once told a student to "get his ears pinned back."

Faculty members advise the students to "take it all with a grain of salt."

"We know how to counsel the students to put things in perspective, " Gold says. "It takes a giant dose of perspective to figure out this insanity."

Theatre professors Daniel Cantor and Dawn Mora direct the Chicago showcase, at the Josephine Louis Theatre June 5 for industry and 6 for friends and family. The annual Chicago showcase is open to all students who have completed Northwestern's acting sequence and/or the Music Theatre Certificate program.

How are factoring companies regulated?

Taking out a factoring contract can be a great way to free up capital for your business immediately and taking the burden off your cash flow. It can also save you the hassle of chasing debts. But like all forms of loan and financing agreements, there are charges and potential pitfalls, so it is good to know how the industry is regulated and how you, the consumer, are protected.

factoring company

UK factoring regulation

The three main bodies that regulate factoring companies and asset invoice financing are:

  • The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

It is an independent, non-governmental body that regulates the UK financial services industry. They set regulatory standards for the industry to ensure a fair deal for all participants. If you have a complaint about any financial service (including factoring services), which the original provider cannot help with, the FCA is the place to go. If you find yourself in dispute over a factoring contract, then the FSA will be able to assist. Make sure you have checked your contract and have detailed records of all transactions and correspondence.

  • The Asset Based Finance Association (ABFA)

It is a trade association for factoring businesses in the UK and Ireland, founded in 1976 when the industry was in its infancy. It currently represents 95% of invoice finance companies with 41 members at present. They are your first point of call when looking for an invoice factoring business, with a full list of members, frequently asked questions, reports and information about other cash flow solutions for your company. They provide a wealth of useful independent information that you can trust. If a factoring company is registered with ABFA, they must abide by a code of conduct which ensures integrity, fair dispute resolution and compliance with all industry regulations.

Usually referred to simply as The Treasury, this is the United Kingdom’s economics and finance ministry which oversees all economic and financial matters.

What is the role of The Bank of England?

 The Bank of England is the United Kingdom’s central bank and one of the oldest banks in the world. In addition to issuing money it manages the UK’s monetary policy in conjunction with The Treasury. One of its central policies is to enhance the stability of the financial industry in the wake of the ongoing financial crisis. Their commitment to identifying and monitoring risks will have a knock-on effect to how companies issue loans, financing and invoice financing arrangements such as factoring, looking to safeguard the future of issuers and customers.

Item # CRM004W

Unless you're a courier, you most likely just have shoes, a phone, and a case of beer in your bag. After all, we're not all able to earn a living on our bikes, so why do any of us need a bag the size of the Kremlin (remember that thing)? So, for those of us who relegate our portage riding to the weekend, Chrome designed the Mini Buran Laptop/Messenger Bag.

While small and unsuspecting, the Mini Buran is capable of holding your laptop or tablet, and anything else that you'd need for a day at school or the office. Chrome constructed the Buran's shell from its hallmark 1000 denier cordura. This material is waterproof, and it's been wisely paired with a military-grade 600 denier truck tarpaulin lining. And if you haven't noticed already, these are the same materials used Mini Buran's older brother. So, it's safe to say that you'll receive the same level of weather protection.

Additionally, the Mini Buran features an integrated, padded, and zippered sleeve that fits up to a 13-inch laptop. There are also several front pockets for organization of your tools, or the tools of your trade, ie: your phone, pens, pencils, or sketchbooks. And, not to worry, there's still room for a few cans of beer.

Not to be outdone by its counterpart, the Mini Buran was designed with Chrome's cross-body shoulder strap, and its iconic quick-release seat belt buckle secures while also doubling as an integrated bottle opener. To provide an extra touch-point to carry your laptop, a briefcase handle has also been included. Finishing touches include mounting loops to attach carabiners or lights.

The Chrome Mini Buran Laptop/Messenger Bag is available in the color Black and in a 16.5x12.5x5.5in (15L volume). And, like all Chrome products, this bag is backed by the one of the best, no-nonsense lifetime guarantees in the business.

  • Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

To start this bag gets an A++ on standing upright. The bag this replaces Never Stood on it own and kept falling over. I got this bag for art. I found the other bag I had..had a main pocket and everything just shifts and falls out. This bag separate pockets that hold my pens,pencils ,mini brushes and drawing books. And today art world - tech goes hand and hand so I have my ipad and head phones in the tech bag ..that is inside this bag. All fits snug! The bag is interesting. All the youtube reviews show you people pushing out the main pocket. This makes all the videos look like your stuff in crammed in and your out of space. But the reality is you can push out the bag a little more..put that one more "thing" in the bag. The handle is more comfortable then it looks in the image. This is another feature that sold the bag for me. My older bag didn't have this..And just moving the bag in the car with out the handle is kinda of a pain. the velcro on the strap is another A++ .when I do live paintings..I could use it to hold my brushes..(not that it was intended for that).. any artist that paints has to find a space to hold brushes.. I was bouncing back and I want this bag..or go smaller with the Chekhov or Kadet..and all very tempting..I went with this..The color doesn't bother me..even if I like black better..since black is unassuming for a messenger bag..I am happy with this product..and I have hopes I will come back and get the chekhov or kadet in the future.. Time to sell more art..

other thing I want to put out there..I am a big guy..and lots of things are made for skinny people. There very little my size effect this bag. Maybe the buckle is a little higher but that is about it.

This company is great to deal with. Has Great Customer Service. Some C.S. makes you think your doing them a favor and unhelpful. NOT this one, follow up and friendly attitude.

For Chrome designers, and maybe the newer bags they addressed this. On the bottom, it would be nice to have a bracket,stint or something so the corners doesn't cave in. It would be nice to have military type webbing on a part of it..just to carry my water bottle on the outside..or an outside..water bottle holder.

Do your research before buying

  • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Why complain about a bag that is designed for purpose that it does perfectly. This is a small sized bag, made for smaller portable equipment, if someone wants a larger size then go with the bigger version, obviously. There are pockets in the front for pens and pencils, calculators etc...Shipping was fast and the item arrived in wrapped pristine condition. Will buy from B.C again.

Can you actually fit a 15" laptop in this...

Can you actually fit a 15" laptop in this bag?

I know it says "up to 13", but I want a small bag, and want to use it for my laptop, too.

Best Answer

You can fit a 15 in laptop in there, just not in the designated laptop sleeve. I love chrome and I think if you wanted a bag from them that is still pretty small but will fit your laptop in the sleeve I would check out the link bellow. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. My email is

Excellent bag!

  • Familiarity: I've used it several times

Just purchased this bag. Was looking for a messenger style bag for laptop/IPad (really would use it on a limited basis on my bike) and this was a perfect alternative. Size, construction, comfort and amount of room in this (little) bag is awesome!

Great for business and travel

  • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

I bought this as a gift for my dad. He was looking for a messenger bag and was unsure of what brands to look into. I told him I had him covered and what he will get will be top notch. Low and behold, he loves the Chrome Mini Buran Laptop Messenger Bag. It is extremely durable, light and is able to hold quite a lot! I would recommend this to any person looking for a messenger bag. This will certainly outperform any other brand out there! It also comes with a lifetime warranty - cant beat that!

Pros: Danger Mouse on production, industry connections, and instantly gratifying music.
Cons: Recreating their sound might be tough without Danger Mouse.

Electric Guest already has more than just a foot in the door. Lead singer Asa Taccone is the brother to Jorma, a founding member of The Lonely Island, and the Los Angeles duo has Danger Mouse on production for their debut album Mondo. But before you think these guys are just getting by on their connections, take a listen to the music. The melodies are timeless, but Danger Mouse gives them that subtle, magical touch, giving the band an updated twist that keeps their universally appealing sound interesting.

Following the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Michael Phelps told ESPN that he's "done everything I ever wanted to do...and, at that point, it's just time to move on." Okay, maybe not. According to multiple reports, Phelps will compete in the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa, Ariz., which lasts from April 24-26. But don't call it a comeback...just yet. "I think he's just going to test the waters a little bit and see how it goes," Phelps' coach Bob Bowman said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I wouldn't say it's a full-fledged comeback."

Bowman went on to say that Phelps is "pretty far" from being at his peak, even though the most decorated athlete in the Olympic history has been training from Monday through Friday at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club since last fall. "He can give a good effort and certainly not be embarrassed. He's in enough shape to swim competitively," Bowman added.

Of course, people are already wondering if Phelps' return to the pool means we should pencil him in for the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016. Let's not jump to conclusions. Baby steps, people. First, let's see how he performs next week and go from there.

Thin provisioning will beat storage virtualisation

Analysts from IBRS and Ovum say that Thin Provisioning is the next big thing in storage.

This Article Covers

Storage virtualisation is touted as green, money-saving and a great help to storage administrators, but Dr Kevin McIsaac of analyst firm IBRS says that Thin Provisioining - not virtualisation - will be a more important part of storage appliances in the near future.

McIsaac describes storage virtualisation as “poorly defined, poorly understood and not widely used,” adding that “Infrastructure managers must understand the realities of storage virtualisation, learn to separate vendor hype from facts, and discover where it can be applied to give real benefits.”

McIsaac believes thin provisioning is the clear alternative.

What is thin provisioning?

Traditional provisioning of disk space has seen each application allocated a certain amount of storage in an array. Provisioning is not a trivial task and is important to get right, because storage space allocated to one application is nearly always inaccessible to others.

That exclusivity of access means administrators tend to be very conservative when they provision an array. Many will therefore decide that an application which regularly uses 50GB of storage should have 200GB of capacity provisioned to make sure it has plenty of overhead available in case of surges.

This practise, while commendably far-sighted, has the unfortunate effect of locking away 150GB of storage capacity for a rainy day, rather than making that capacity available for other applications.

Thin provisioning does away with this waste by allowing administrators to over-provision for their applications. This has three benefits.

The first is that, according to Ovum storage analyst Tim Stammers, “it doubles the capacity of every piece of storage you buy.”

Another is that operators of several applications can over-provision them all, safe in the knowledge that thin provisioning does all the juggling required to indentify and utilise the spare capacity in each application’s allocation of storage.

The other is that users need only provision an application once, even if they have less physical storage than they provision. This trick makes it possible to provision an application to use 500GB, even though a storage array only contains 250GB. As the application nears the physical capacity of the array, more storage can be added without needing to perform additional administration chores.

“While thin provisioning is not yet widely used, its adoption will accelerate rapidly as vendor support widens and more storage administrators become aware of its benefits,” McIsaac says. “Over the next 18 it will become as pervasive as other array-based virtualisation features such as RAID and snapshots.”

McIsaac’s prediction is already coming true. HDS and Dell EqualLogic have both brought the technology to market, and NetApp plans to do likewise. EMC has pledged to bring the technology to all of its arrays.

New peripherals bring Windows Hello to any Windows 10 PC

And help to kill passwords in the process

160602 mouse hello 1

A prototype camera and fingerprint reader from Mouse Computer.

Credit: Martyn Williams

Japan's Mouse Computer has developed add-on biometric sensors that will bring Windows Hello to any PC running Windows 10.

Windows Hello is Microsoft's biometric security system. It allows users to dump passwords for facial or fingerprint recognition, but only on PCs that have the correct hardware.

Many new PCs do, but generations of older machines that can run Windows 10 don't have the infrared camera or fingerprint sensors that are required. That's where the new add-on peripherals come in.

There's a USB camera unit and a tiny USB fingerprint reader. Both will bring Windows Hello to Windows 10 PCs, said Microsoft this week at the Computex trade show in Taipei.

Their launch dates and prices haven't been announced.

Simon Buehring is a project manager, consultant and PRINCE2 trainer. He is the founder of KnowledgeTrain, which offers PRINCE2 project management training in the UK and overseas. Simon has extensive project management experience within the IT industry in the UK and Asia and has worked in the financial, transport, health and education sectors.

Denise Plumpton joined the Highways Agency in January 2005 as director of information and a member of the executive board of the agency. Denise has a particular interest in helping organisations through periods of change and is on the strategy board of the Corporate IT Forum.

Steve Moran heads up QA-IQ’s Project and Programme Management Practice, with responsibility for managing and developing QA-IQ’s Project and Programme Management business. Steve has been a project and programme manager for over 25 years with positions across manufacturing, financial, services, utilities and airline sectors. In addition he has built highly successful professional services practices for global companies including Deloitte Consulting and Atos Origin.

Simon Buehring, founder of KnowedgeTrain, says:

Well, to consider a move to the finance industry in the light of the recent credit crunch and redundancies at investment banks hit by bad debts might sound rather rash.

However, city firms do pay very well for staff with highly marketable skills and IT project managers with solid experience from other areas are always in demand.

Most firms will look for people with sound business experience, however where the candidate’s technical experience stands out, exceptions will always be made.

Regarding contracting, I would say it is probably easier to find full time project management roles in finance rather than contract roles. That’s because the best paying contract roles are filled by highly technically experienced people who can also bring sound business knowledge and skills.

I would suggest your best option would be to seek a full time city role where you can gain some business experience and knowledge and perhaps look for contract roles in the future once you have some business experience as well.

Denise Plumpton, director of information, Highways Agency, says

The focus of the question seems to be on salary here but I’d suggest you look at the bigger picture. Contract work often seems to command higher rates of pay than permanent employment, but that’s in part because it is purely temporary and doesn’t come with the benefits of being an employee. When you consider that contractors don’t get paid for holiday or being ill, have to make their own provisions for pensions and the like and run the risk of the time between contracts, you start to see why the rates look attractive.

Salaries in the private sector are very variable and, typically, will reflect a range of factors including the scope and responsibility which comes with the role, plus the size of company, and hence the budget or size of project you’d be expected to manage.

Local government and central government organisations have the value-add of a strong focus on personal development and other non-salary benefits. So it’s worth bearing these in mind when you evaluate opportunities.

Work out what your priorities are at the moment and by all means have a look outside of local government. But try to look beyond the salary and see whether the nature of the role matches your longer term ambitions and likely job satisfaction.

Steve Moran, head of practice for project and programme management, QA-IQ, says

There are many attractive skills for a company looking to recruit a project manager with local government experience, including dealing with large capital projects, managing expectations of diverse stakeholders, and experience of detailed auditing and reporting.

However, there’s sometimes a concern that the knowledge base, standards, and perhaps terminology will be different between the public and private sectors. The first step you need to take is to make sure you’re qualified to the standards expected by industry, in particular PRINCE2 and APMP certification are often essential in the financial sector.

Companies will also expect a project manager to have financial and commercial awareness, so take the opportunity to make sure you’re up-to-date with current practices and spend some time researching different business structures. If you’re a member of an industry body, take the opportunity to network with project managers who are already working in the financial sector and benefit from their advice and experience.

If you’re armed with the right knowledge and skills you are far more likely to run successful projects, and there can be no greater guarantee of security than that.

I don't think anybody here can help you on this.
If your ex knew your original password then he/she could have gone and changed all your settings so that he/she appears to be the owner of the account and not you.

Your only hope is to contact hotmail and try to explain your situation to them. I don't know how easy that is going to be for you.

This just illustrates how important it is that you do not share your passwords, PIN numbers, etc with even your nearest and dearest.

Have a look at the following two links and see if it helps:

The second link is probably the one that may be of use to you.

When everything else fails, read the instructions.

Anyone familiar withe Depart of Vocational Rehab? Son has to go...

Discussion in 'The Watercooler' started by MidwestMom, Mar 17, 2012.

  1. SomewhereOutThere

    Sonic is graduating this year. He just had a long work assessment with a sheltered workshop, which I hoped would open a door to the future. It didn't. We were told, "Oh, he's so GREAT! I wish we had TEN of him! He works so WELL!" I guess I should be pleased, however this means they won't keep him...he is too high functioning for the program. The school counselor suggested he go to our local tech school, which is much like a two year college in most states (but we have tons of tech schools here). So I called the special needs director at the college and she said, well, he would need to take a test first and pass. He has to be reading and doing math at a ninth grade level. Um, he is at a sixth grade level. He'd have to get to ninth grade before he'd be admitted. And he isn't really interested in any programs either. He wants to work.

    So our next step is the school referred us to the Department of Vocational Rehab. Anyone who needs a job can get set up there, and there is a waiting list, but it's not that long. Anyone have any experience with this? I hear they find appropriate placements when a person has special needs. But I"m really confused now. He is going to have trouble with everything from filling out an application to making eye contact with an interviewer to doing the job if it gets too complicated...I really hate this. It's not like the economy is great either. Sonic does try hard and work hard. He could get a cleaning job or something like that, but it would have to be very well thought out.

    The joys of high functioning autism!

    That's exactly what they do. If it's anything like ours, you should be very pleased.

    The Dept of Voc Rehab is awesome around here. They help people who need supports in order to be able to work, regardless of if that is a job coach or trainer or help interviewing or the need training of some kind. LOTS of people have no clue what they do, which is why they have a shorter waiting list than other sources of help. A friend of mine worked as a job coach for a couple of years before she went back to grad school. She didn't need help any more than any other psychology major who didn't listen when everyone told them that you need at least a master's and usually a PhD to do the jobs most people think of when they sign up for that major. Her longest assignment through Dept Of Voc Rehab was with a fiftysomething year old man who swept floors and did basic cleaning at a grocery. This gentleman was super sweet, had held the job for several decades already and the owners noticed that he was showing signs of early alzheimers or something of that nature. He was developmentally delayed but would forget things like what to do with a broom due to the illness. She spent the day mostly keeping him on track and making sure he didn't hurt himself by using something inappropriately. Without the Dept of Voc Rehab paying for her to work with this gentleman, he would have had to be fired and then his elderly mom would not have known what to do with him all day. He wasn't yet bad off enough to qualify for alzheimer's programs that were available at that time.

    She also worked with a teenager who was unable to work with-o more direct supervision that a business could provide. She said the teen was really sweet but just didn't understand basic social skills and needed 1:1 help to learn what was and wasn't acceptable in the workplace and how to do basic cleaning and busboy type work.

    Dept of Voc Rehab paid her salary while she was at work with her clients The employer not only got this extra person to train the challenged employee, the also got financial incentives for hiring the employee and allowing her to work wth the employee. It was a complete win-win for the employer as long as they recognized that they could NOT require my friend to do the job that the client was paid to do. One restaurant tried to schedule her for different hours than her client and wanted her to wait tables during those hours. It was not a great situation because the employer was determined that my friend was her employee and would do the same amt of work as any other employee would do in addition to keeping the client dong what needed to happen.

    This was quite a few years ago, but my friend LOVED the job. It is what helped her decide to work with kids with special needs.

    So give Dept of Voc Rehab a chance. The worst that can happen is that it isn't rght for Sonic. In which case you help him figure out what he would like to do and then how to help him learn to do what the job will require of him. He might be great at commercial cleaning. There are companies who hire people to go and clean banks, etc... after hours. He might do ver well at a job like that.

    I hope this is a very helpful thing for Sonic!

    Thank you. I am really worried and will be until he is settled. He could actually work independently once he knows what to do and he is appropriate with others, although you can sort of tell that something is "off" with him because he looks down a lot and appears to be very shy. One of my friends said that, if she didn't k now him, she would have thought, "Probably ADHD." He also fidgets with his clothes a lot. And taking a shower is a huge issue! He can really smell and he needs somebody other than Dad and I to tell him he has to be clean. He will listen if a third party insists.

    OH man! Transition planning is supposed to be like the IEP, they build it for him not he does or doesn't fit into their program.....I read your other post....such a bummer in a way that he has been such a rock star student!

    I am not there yet but have been calling ahead because the folks at Courage Center mentioned that THEY have vocational training etc. They said you can go thru DVR and they then can contract with them to provide services too. It sounds like DVR here starts in grade 11. I will keep plugging away but it is nice to see that some of you have had good experiences and I hope you find the same MWM! He sounds like such a great kid and it will be really interesting to hear how this all works out for him. My girlfriend just fought our district and won her transition IEP to include academic prep for college. His acuplacer scores were low but his grades in school have been A's and B's. He tests poorly. So she wanted him to be coached to do better on the test to be able to enter a program that will allow him to meet his potential and if not then to find another way. SO frustrating they said that they would work on it during down time when the kids in a cooking class were not doing much. HUH??? he didn't fit in with the "low" kids so they were ignoring his needs. She was so mad. (another sp ed teacher herself...she is really so fed up).

    Looking forward to your updates.....

    Voc Rehab is supposed to be an awesome program. The way it was described to me was that it's like having a guidance counselor and IEP for AFTER HS, BUT you actually get better results!

    Thanks both of you!

    buddy, he has been transitioning for four years, but he is one of those k ids with a solid label and obvious Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who is too high functioning, but not high functioning enough, if you know what I mean. He can't compete in the workforce with others and needs help with transitions...but he can do some jobs and will really put his heart and soul into his job. He probably would not do well working full time, but that's ok...he will probably get social security when his adoption subsidy runs out (they extended it until age 21 for him).

    Tech school is not for him right now, really. He isn't interested in any of the programs they have and would have to start out taking remedial high school classes first before they'd let him take anything else. The only difference is...we'd have to pay for those high school classes. I'm not sure we could get a full scholarship. If he was wildly excited, we'd find a way, but what he really wants to do is get a job.

    Thanks for the support, all. I feel better now. Buddy, I will let you know how it goes. I k now you will be in my spot one day :) It's really not that bad, I'm just a worrier :)

    I read through the Ohio subsidy stuff to and suspect Q's will be extended to 21 too. I was told the same that that is when he can have SSI...someone recently said to apply for it now but I was always told it was one or the other. I would prefer to stay with the subsidy, it is not income dependent and though it is not as much as he would get for ssi it is never a concern. Glad to hear that that worked out for you too.

    Best of luck to him. And what a great graduation too! So, will you for sure accept the diploma and not use any school transition services??
  9. SomewhereOutThere

    SomewhereOutThere Well-Known Member

    Buddy...we decided to try to apply for SSDI for Sonic and guess what? They told us that the subsidy is consisdered HIS income, even though it's not income and is sent to me, not him. So we did have to make an either/or choice and the subsidy is more than the disability would be.

    When I asked about how his subsidy is his income they said something like we would not be getting it if not for him and that it was for him so they were going to use it as income. A call to the main office in Madison confirmed it. That's ok. We'll wait then.

    Lucas is going to get a regular diploma. He has been mostly mainstreamed so he earned it. But his IEP still follows him. Thank God (and I mean it heartily) for that.

    We have Voc/Rehab for difficult child#2 who is Aspergers, ADHD, etc. His counselor is not the sharpest pen in the pack but he does have some opportunities that he would not have with-o the affiliation. One of the best perks is a connection to the VOA program that has independent living facilities available. Good luck. DDD

difficult child II Compulsive eating (thoughts? Suggestions?)

Discussion in 'Healthful Living / Natural Treatments' started by amazeofgrace, Jan 13, 2011.

  1. amazeofgrace

    amazeofgrace New Member

    difficult child II has been on Lithobid for well over a year now but since he's been in the IOP they're really upped his dosage. He's gained a good 20 pounds since the fall. He also is less active with the cold weather. I am concerned mainly because he's always eating and always complaining he's hungry.

    He'll eat three bowls of cereal and then microwave hot pockets. I think it's turning into a compulsion and I am worried. psychiatric didn't have much to say other than buy less junk and try to encourage him to exercise. But difficult child II literally gets angry and irritable if there's no "good" snacks or I tell him he can't have anything (not that he usually asks permission mind you)

    difficult child II"s food intake today:
    Breakfast: whole grain breakfast bar/milk
    snacks: cereal wth milk (2 bowls), pretzels wth ranch dressing, an apple, cheese crackers, 2 ff choc pudding cups
    lunch: 1 hot pocket, potato chips
    snacks: hot chocolate wth whipped cream, box of whoppers (from my Dad), pb/jelly sandwich, 1 more ff chocolate pudding cup, an apple (again), more pretzels wth ranch
    dinner: bourban chicken & salad
    snacks: granola bar, 2 cheese singles, cheddar cheese rice cakes

    *I am so glad I don't buy soda or juice! And believe it or not I try not to buy junk food.

    AoG-Wish I had a good answer for you. We are struggling with difficult child's eating as well. In fact, he is at definite risk for diabetes type 2 right now! Any chance you could get him to do some exercising? We've tried to get difficult child to get some exercise in but it isn't easy.

    Joining in with this group. I am beyond worried. Manster has been steadily gaining and is now almost 5 foot and 140 pounds. I feel so powerless. Over the holidays he kept begging to bake stuff. Now, all the baking stuff is out of the house, no baking chocolate, no real sugar, etc. His favorite show is the cake boss. Great! He made a cake for husband that had fondant and roses, etc. He talks about wanting to be a pastry chef. Great.

    It all started when he began SSRIs and yet I don't know for sure they are the reason because I don't often hear anyone relate the two, at least not to this extent. But truthfully, despite an occasional food texture issue, he's always had a healthy appetite.. Now it's a full on eating disorder/addiction. I find myself physically standing in the entry way to the kitchen saying "no more food". That's probably the wrong thing to do. I'm out of ideas.

    No answers, just know that I'm part of your group.
  4. DaisyFace

    DaisyFace Love me...Love me not

    That's a tough one...especially because at his age you would expect to see that appetite kicking in with the hormones and everything else as he grows into a man...

    I'll tell you what strikes me right away as I read his "diet" - he is not getting enough protein. And as a growing boy - he REALLY needs the protein for bone and muscle growth. As you know - hunger starts at the cellular level. If the cells are not getting what they need, the body will feel hungry. It looks to me like he is trying to stuff himself with whatever he can grab to try and satisfy that hunger. And unfortunately, he is grabbing pudding and hot pockets and potato chips...

    I don't think it's bad to have some small amount of snacks in the house - so I wouldn't change that.

    I would try to get him on a more "manly" diet. Start him with a protein shake at breakfast time. Or steak and eggs...something like that...

    See if it helps...
  5. HaoZi

    HaoZi Guest

    I'll agree with DF on adding in protein. Eggs or eggbeaters are good, too. Also try introducing him to air-popped popcorn (not microwave) with that spray-on butter stuff as a lower-cal way for when he wants something crunchy and salty instead of all the pretzels and chips (and it's so much cheaper to just buy a jar of the kernels). You can get this powder stuff to sprinkle that sticks to the butter spray in a variety of flavors, like white cheddar, nacho, kettle corn, etc. I've seen people use things like Lawry's Hot & Spicy Seasoned Salt for it, too. The machines aren't that expensive and it doesn't take any longer to make than the microwave version.

    Kiddo had same eating issues on the Zyprexa, she could eat and eat and still be hungry, she was 54lb when she started on it and is about 75 now. She doesn't eat like that on the Abilify and she's gained some height so it's not as obvious on her now as it was two months ago but it still bothers her because ALL the extra weight went straight to her waistline.

    Weight gain and compulsive eating are a horrible side effect of most psychiatric medications. Our difficult child 1 ate compulsively the entire time he was on medications when younger and became
    morbidly obese (for a child). When he quit taking medications at 14, (we couldn't require him to accept treatment at that age in Ontario), he lost his weight completely over about fifteen months. In college
    he became positively skinny. Now that he's been with his current girlfriend and is back on medications he's once again morbidly obese. It breaks my heart.

    I've been on SSRIs once or twice in the past and most recently when I started a tricyclic for migraine prevention, I gained ten pounds in two weeks. Bang, just like that. I
    stopped the medication. Unfortunately our kids don't have that option and I don't know what we can do, other than keep low-fat food and no fatty or junk food around. Even then
    they will eat cereal (difficult child 1 used to eat at least three bowls at a time, and if I interfered he would have a meltdown. It wasn't worth the rages and disruption to the other kids,
    at the time). I would be careful about adding too much protein ... it can put on a lot of weight and when the eating is compulsive, the normal satiety feedback loop doesn't
    work. Extra protein usually = extra fat and may not have the hoped-for effect.

    Presto makes a microwave popcorn popper that makes air pop popcorn in the microwave. It uses a special paper thingy in the bottom that is replaceable to get the popcorn to pop with-o oil. It is called the Presto Power Pop and is super easy to use. We have used them for years because my kids get upset stomachs if they eat regular microwave popcorn. The kernals are cheap to buy even if you buy the orville brand - lots cheaper tahn reg microwave popcorn.

    Get him interested in adding spices to boost flavor - it can make a big difference. I know my husband loves adding garlic, cumin and chili powder to popcorn, baked potatoes, almost everything. Check out the various spice blends on www.myspicesage.com for good prices. If he likes crunchy get some of the dried veggies from them - LOTS of flavor and crunch and good stuff. thank you and husband discovered the 1/4 inch diced dried jalapenos and are hooked on them mixed with seasoned popcorn (but they are jalapeno/hot sauce addicts, lol!). That spice website has great prices on various seasoning mixes that can be awesome on popcorn.

    Upping the protein is an excellent idea. Check out The Zone diet by Dr. Sears. Books are old so you can usually find them used pretty easy, but they advocate keeping meals and snacks made in a balance of 30% protein, 30% fat and 40 % carb. For a simple start, change his breakfast bars to Zone or Balance Bars with a big glass of water or small glass of milk. They are surprisingly filling and will provide a fair amt of the protein that he is NOT getting with the breakfast bars. Also try oatmeal with vanilla protein powder (comes in sugar free in most places). The zone/balance bars are actually good tasting, which was a real shock to me as I HATE anything that tastes like health food. My kids LOVE them and are known to choose them over candy bars if given the choice!

    Then work on providing protein with EACH of his snacks. he can have the candy bar IF he will eat 4 oz of lean deli meat with it, or a chicken breast or a couple of poached or scrambled eggs. The zone books explain the reasons behind it, and they have recipes and snack ideas that are very helpful.

    difficult child II was on 450 mg of lithium 2 x's a day his last blood lab came back saying his thyroid was being affected, they wanted to add a thyroid medication and I said absolutley not, he's now on 300 mg twice a day and if that doesn't help, he's coming off, I don't care, I will never forgive myself he he has problems with major organs! Now that he is out of IOP and back in school I am packing his lunches and he will have gym whereas the IOP didn't that should help alittle. I bought some high protein cereal and am trying to eliminate all processed foods, we shall see...

    I think you need to dole out everything for him. I know it's hard because you can't be there alll the time and he'll sneak. But don't just give him free range. Tell him, You had a sandwhich, that's enough. Too bad if he's hungry, he has to be, at this point. Know he will sneak, but it will still be less than if he's allowed carte blanche to everything. I have a 300 (more) lb difficult child. He was 200 when he lived here, he plays football and is very big all over, 200 was good, but we ruled that kitchen with an iron fist- when he left he did what he wanted, but it would have been worse. Just do your best, I know how much it hurts seeing your difficult child do this to himself, it's hard to lose weight when you're just a kid.

    A couple of thoughts from someone who has compulsive eating issues herself. First if they are near puberty age it is entirely normal for them to eat more, and get a little round before they do their puberty growth spurt. This happened with both of my kids who have always been thin....

    Second be careful of controlling their food intake too much.... issues of control can add to the emotional issues of compulsive eating. Focusing on their weight or making it part of what makes them "good" will add to the whole crazy cycle of compulsive eating. Much better to really think about what you buy for the week and have mostly good healthy food around with a few snacks they like. So my suggestion would be to tell them you are grocery shopping for the week and then buy good healthy food with a reasonable amount of junk food they like... enough so they could have one treat every day say. Then tell him that is it for the week, you are not shopping again. So if you buy say a bag of cookies, if they are all gone within the first day, tough luck. If they last for the week then they get to have some every day. Of course this goes for the rest of the family too.... and if you have someone else who will eat all the cookies then you have to think about how to handle it. But if you can you want to give them the opportunity to learn to self regulate.

    Was very interested in this post. My difficult child has severe weight issues that have gotten worse since not at home. She takes thyroid medications as hers was almost nonfunctioning. Took her last week for tests to look for Polycyctic ovarian disease. husband is diabetic though he lost 80 lbs and does not need medications anymore. Our family has long been on a low glycemic index "diet". Psch. medications have caused weight gain in our difficult child as well. Would love to get more ideas from others here are a few things that work for us:
    1. I cut fresh veggies and fruit every Sunday and put them in small containers-easy to grab for lunch or snack ( I only keep low fat sald dressing around) I do buy quite a bit of these-peppers, muchrooms,carrots, cucs,apples orages(slice these as well),pineapple or berries in season etc.
    2. Low fat yogurt cups-can be used as a fruit dip, or snack. My kids like adding a few teaspoons of Grape-Nuts to them. We enjoy them frozen in the summer (protien here as well)
    3. If your not opposed to sweetners- I will occationally make a banana bread with sweetner, flax seed (milled) and half the flour changed to oat flour I make myself in the blender-I usually use almonds or a small amount of walnuts
    4.I make grilled or baked chicken breast/ or pork loan-cut them up and portion them out each week. My family likes dipping in mustard then seasame seeds on occation. I can also use these strips to make a meal during the week.Easy to grab and go as well.
    5.I hard boil eggs-these can be really satisfying when you are hungry. ( I know the cholestral stuff-but better than other choices) An open faced egg salad sandwhich on wheat is satisfying once in awhile
    6. Pretzels-I keep some crushed as well to add to the top of fat free pudding which I make myself every Sunday as well.
    7. I make a big bowl of salad greens each week-people can add cut up veggies or meat etc.
    Planning ahead and shopping the sales helps us.
    I never have cookies or other "****" around because of the health issues.

    I, too, was reading the day's meal and noticed - CARBS!

    How is his sleep? I know from personal experience - AND Onyxx - that lack of sleep and/or interrupted sleep can really make a person crave carbs.

    I love Hot Pockets - but they have SO MUCH sodium in them - WOW.

    I am a huge fan of yogurt (the low-cal kind upsets my tummy) - with cereal such as Cheerios, Rice Chex or Shredded Wheat (no frosting) in them. I put a few on the top, eat them, add a few more - otherwise they get soggy. But - protein, dairy, fiber - Yum! (And carbs, from the sugar...)

    I also adore hard-boiled eggs. They're very filling, and honestly, the cholesterol's not that bad unless you go berserk. I love this recipe: 1 hardboiled egg (mashed up with a fork or diced), about a teaspoon of lite mayo, a touch of horseradish mustard, a little bit of garlic & onion powders and a dash of pepper and salt. Mix it all together, put it on whole wheat bread with lettuce and maybe tomato. YUM.

    Stepto2: Love the egg salad with horse-radish. Will try this.

    Another thought:
    Controlling the food and food battles are very risky with an already tough kid. But you can quietly, without much talk control what is in your home. Having healthy but satisfying choices ready to go has really made things better here for everyone. Yes a bit of work, but not that much and money saving as well.When your health is better, your mind is better. I think this the first step to wellness. Keep up the good fight!

difficult child's perspective on testing

    The school psychiatric (and this lady actually is a school psychiatric instead of an ed spec like his regular school has) finished her testing on difficult child but hasn't compiled results and report yet. I have difficult child's side of this which may or may not be skewed. In any case, we have known for some time that his biggest issues at school are executive functioning and memory. (I say "we" but that's the mental health profs and me- the school district never wanted to acknowledge there was anything other than a previous behavior problem.) Memory problems got worse with being on MS's, of course. He's always done well in math and science and scores highest, academicly, in problem solving areas (lord knows, not in real life LOL).

    Anyway, he told me that when the lady tested him by reading a paragraph or a list of words or showing him pics, then asking him to recite back what he'd heard or seen, he had trouble with it. No surprise- except that she actually gave him memory tests. What I find weird is that difficult child says when she read a list of numbers off, he could remember them with almost 100% accuracy.

    How could that be possible? I had him evaluation'd by a neurologist a couple of years ago and his - oh- the "brain" test- came back fine. But the dr said difficult child could have a language processing problem and recommended "neuro-linguistic" testing. My insurance wouldn't cover it and the school district blew that off and said it had nothing to do with them. Would this be along those lines?

    He's not great in English class but does ok in it and reads on grade-level, barely. He hates both those things though. And- there is a possibility that he misjudged how well he did and that he didn't remember numbers any better than anything else. When she called me and told me she had finished testing, she said she had decided to go ahead and do an additional testing on cognitive ability, which tells me that what she originally gave him revealed something- enough to concern her about his cognitive abilities. This is good since the school district has been horrible about wanting to acknowledge that he has any problem necessitating the continuance of an IEP.

    Also, she told me that the old school district had forwarded her my completed parent forms that they had given me in Feb. I guess that pretty much proves that the school district was lieing when they told Department of Juvenile Justice that I had refused to consent to any re-evaluation for his IEP, huh?

    Sounds like it!

    In regard to memorizing numbers, he could be telling the truth. Maybe because numbers are so objective, in a sense.

    All you can do is wait until you see the results.

    This is the part I hate. The waiting.

    Good luck!

Rebuttal of lies about US nuclear weapons and ICBMs

For decades, leftist politicians, media outlets, and “arms control advocates” (read: advocates of America’s unilateral disarmament) have falsely claimed that the US nuclear deterrent is obsolete, unneeded, and unimportant. They have recently been joined by some pseudoconservative, pseudo-pro-military outlets such as the Air Force Magazine, the press organ of the Air Force Association. Concurrently, for decades, Washington has carelessly and ...

CNS and Cirincione are lying; America needs a LARGE nuclear deterrent

The leftist, California-based “Center for Nonproliferation Studies” and the also leftist, Democrat-run CBO have recently released rigged “studies” claiming that nuclear weapons modernization and maintenance will cost the US $355 bn over the next decade and$1 trillion over the next 30 years.

The Left’s blatant lies about nuclear weapons

And by far the most important and powerful component of America’s military power is its nuclear deterrent.

Nuclear deterrent cuts: wrong in the 90s, wrong today

The Left never ceases trying to make America weaker and less secure. Their biggest target right now is America’s nuclear deterrent – the country’s only defense against WMD attack, the only weapon system that has proven itself to always work, the only deterrent that has never failed and has kept America and its allies secure for 67 years (and counting), ...

Rebuttal of Kingston Reif’s and Greg Thielmann’s newest lies – about missile defense

Kingston Reif – a pacifist propagandist working for the extremely-leftist “Council for a Livable World” – has shown his utter ignorance, as well as his extremely leftist beliefs and desires to disarm the US unilaterally, on quite a few occassions, and in December, I even took the time to completely refute his utter garbage calling for scrapping the nuclear triad. ...

As it continues to campaign for deep cuts in America’s defenses, the Left has particularly aimed its arrows at the US nuclear deterrent, which protect America and over 30 of its allies against the most catastrophic threats: a nuclear, chemical, or biological attack; a large-scale conventional attack; and nuclear proliferation. It is the most effective nonproliferation program ever enacted. It ...

North Korea: Proof that “arms control” has utterly failed

In December, North Korea tested an ICBM which delivered a North Korean satellite to the Earth’s orbit, thus demonstrating the capability to miniaturize payloads and to deliver such payloads to the orbit – and to the US. In February, the North Koreans declared that not only will they not surrender their nuclear arsenal, they’ll actually INCREASE it, and published a ...

If you were keeping track of some official North Korean social media accounts and saw some odd posts from them, that wasn’t a mistake. Apparently they were hacked. Notably, the North’s Uriminzokkiri Twitter and Flickr accounts were hit, and ceased sending out typical posts depicting Kim Jong Un with the military. Instead, a picture posted Thursday on the North’s Flickr ...
