of the dozens of grados i've heard, these are my favorite
Pros: Naturalness, dynamics, balance
Cons: a touch 'heavy' to wear. The cable is too fat .
love the musical and dynamic quality of the grado sound but I have a hard time enjoying most of their products. The HF2 rocks however and is easily my favorite stock grado phone for old time rock n roll, classic 70's and early 80's metal, bebop jazz and blues listening sessions. The ps500 is a slight devolution from this sound imo. They are similar but the ps500 sucked out the mids and favored a one-note bass humped sound that ultimately sounds more 'grey' and clinical than the warmer and more 'worn out jeans' sound of the HF2. Why grado went in the ps500 direction must have been the result of some kind of market research or rudderless management which is disconnected somehow from the good old days when Sr grado was at the helm. Smooth out those waves and offer a full sounding, warm, slightly bass belly'd sound. It'd sell like hotcakes. Many a person wants full, warm, musical sound with natural dynamics and reasonable detail. All these things the HF2 does better than 95% of headphones to my ears.

The Vapid Minivan is a four-door minivan in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. It replaces its previous counterpart, the Blista, featured in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Minivan fetching $2,000 in perfect condition.
DesignThe Minivan is modeled after the Fourth Generation Dodge Caravan, although its lower ground clearance and sleeker design make it look more regal. The rear of the Minivan resembles that of the Second Generation Mazda MPV. It can be found with a roof spoiler or luggage rails (although both cases feature a "Minivan Sport" badge on the rear liftgate). The Minivan is the basis for the GTA IV Cabby, which has its own "Minivan Cabby" lift-gate badge. The van may come with a roof-mounted luggage rack or a rear spoiler. The Minivan is badged as both a Vapid vehicle and, in the case of the Cabby, a Schyster one, it may also suggest a partnership between Vapid and Schyster, although Schyster is most likely partnered with Bravado like Chrysler and Dodge in reality. It may suggest a larger mother company like General Motors or Fiat (which also owns the Chrysler Group, including the Dodge brand) which produces the same vehicles under different brands. Alternatively, the Cabby's "Limited Vapid Design" badging suggests that the Cabby could be manufactured under licence by Schyster, or could be a rebadge of the Vapid Minivan.
Under the bonnet of the Minivan lies a reasonably torqueful 24-valve V6 engine. Though the output of this smooth-yet-potent engine is far from optimal, the sheer weight and aerodynamic properties of the Minivan results in a double-figures 0-60mph time and a lowly 125mph (201km/h) maximum. The firmness of the suspension and the rather low ride height give the Minivan ample support and stability when cornering, though under-steer is often noticeable. Braking is good, and the ABS works well on all models. In the event of a crash, the bodywork tends to stay very well in tact, although driver safety isn't exactly class-leading in high-speed accidents. Although it was never intended for this purpose, if you ever find yourself off-roading in a Minivan, whether taking a shortcut or trying to escape from attackers, be wary of steep hills and uneven ground. While the minivan lacks the necessary power for excessive spinouts, it doesn't provide enough torque evenly to it's rear tires to avoid getting stuck on even rather shallow hills or get over small obstacles.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- The Minivan commonly spawns around Westdyke and Leftwood.
- It can be seen driving in Bohan Industrial, Hove Beach, Firefly Projects and Firefly Island, Broker.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The default radio station of the Minivan is The Vibe 98.8.
- In GTA IV: The Lost and Damned, the Minivan is listed as a Bravado-branded car in the game's default files. Oddly, GTA IV's and GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony's default files lists it as a Vapid-brand car. This could be an error because the Minivan resembles mostly the Dodge Caravan. The back resembles the Ford Windstar.
- Minivans appear in Midnight Club Los Angeles with a longer wheelbase and slightly different front and rear fascias.
- On the lower side near the back wheels, there is a badging that reads Vapid Designed. This could be misspelling error. Use the OpenIV to clearly see this.
- The GTA V version has a silver Vapid badge, similar to some other Vapids seen in the game, in contrast to the red in GTA IV.

Hunting licenses, tags, applications now available
Hunting licenses expire at the end of June each year. Any hunting after that requires a new license.
To purchase tags and applications for any of the state's special hunts, you must purchase a license, and the whole batch is now available.
There are two ways to apply for your license, any tag and even the drawing of the special hunts. The first is the old, traditional method of going into a sporting goods store or Department of Fish & Game office and making the purchase across the counter.
The second is what the DFG terms the new and improved way: online. If you do it online, you'll just need a credit card to charge all the applicable fees, and you'll receive the license and tags in the mail within 15 days. The exception is if you apply for a hunt with a drawing.
Several sporting goods stores have opted out carrying hunting and fishing licenses because of the hassle of a computerized, long process. Call around first. You might be successful finding one by going online at www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing.
Each year, the DFG produces a booklet called the California Hunting Digest, and for the 2011-12 hunting year, it's available online. It's a PDF document, and it's big: 72 pages.
It will list statistics for all hunts last year, and all the special hunts for the upcoming year so you'll know the zone or designation number for the hunt for which you want to apply.
License and tag fees this year are $43.46 for a resident hunting license and $11.37 for a junior resident license. A first deer tag will run you $29.16 and a second deer tag $36.21.
Bear tags are $42.38, wild pig tags $20.78. Just to apply for any of the state's special hunts — antelope, elk or bighorn sheep — is $8.13.
If you make the purchase from a license agent and not the DFG, expect to pay 5 percent more for each item. That's the allowable markup.
The deadline for applying for any special hunts requiring a drawing is June 5.
Current fishing
A strong winter storm last weekend and early this week certainly didn't help the fishing. Well, the fishing is fine. Fish don't care about the wet, but the wet and cold keeps anglers away.
Some bass already are spawned out and others are on their nests, guarding their eggs and territory, now confused as to whether to stay or drop back to deeper water.
A gradual warm-up is in the forecast, which will help the fishing and catching condition.
A drive up Highway 70 — the Feather River Canyon — revealed a muddy-colored, raging river, as are most creeks, streams and rivers with the snowmelt.
It's just better to stay away from moving waters right now. The fishing conditions are far from ideal.
American River: Fishing for steelhead in the river was pretty much a bust this year with all the rain. The river was so high it literally washed out the steelhead fishery. The river has dropped. It's far from the idyllic summer flows but still fishable. Top action right now is for stripers and even shad.
You can troll the lower regions of the river and do pretty well on stripers, or you can get in the upper ranges and toss all kinds of minnow-imitators with cast-retrieve and nail the big bass. A friend landed a 45-pound bass some years ago that gulped down his shad fly.
Shad, if you've never fished for them, are bony, not preferred for eating by most anglers, but just a lot of fun to catch and release. Give it a try with one of the many shad flies or darts drifted near the bottom.
Folsom Lake: The bass catching was dynamite before the nasty weather moved in, fishing the rock piles and the edge of drop-offs. Until the weather stabilizes for at least a couple of days, it could be really tough convincing a bass to chew on your plastic offering. Especially when the weather warms up, look for the flooded brush and trees to again be well attended by bass.
Lake Almanor: The view of Mt. Lassen from the lake is awesome. The mountain is covered in the white stuff, and the hills surrounding the lake still have a good amount of snow. Daytime temperatures have been in the 40- to 50-degree range while the nights have dipped into the mid to low 30s.
The best part, however, is the fishery. The lake is full and, before the storms moved in, there were many bugs on the water. The trolling has been outstanding. We delayed launching the boat until the weather stabilizes.
There have been daily breezy conditions, and when the storms moved in, the wind increased to the point most pulled their boats off the lake. Before that, trollers were hammering rainbows and brown trout.
The most action is along the east shore. While downriggers can be used, most are toplining with straight monofilament line or going maybe two colors of lead core line. The trout are hanging in the top 20 feet.
Lures work well, but there are lures they seem to like and lures they'll ignore. Rainbow runners, Speedy shiners and some Needlefish colors are preferred. Keep changing until you get bit.
And then, of course, there's always the threaded-on, tail half of a night crawler on a No. 4 hook. That's a never fail and is actually my favorite. I'm not hearing, yet, that drifting crickets or meal worms are attracting much action.
Next week, look for a full catching report.

Securing abundant water supplies
EDF is pioneering ways to keep rivers flowing in the era of climate change
Climate change, drought and growing populations are taking their toll on Western rivers and watersheds. That's why we're working with farmers, cities and other environmental groups to develop market solutions and other incentives that conserve water and preserve rivers.
Our current strategies
Finding flexible solutions to water scarcityEDF experts are transforming the way water is used in the Colorado River Basin by pushing for flexible systems like irrigation efficiency and water banking instead of the outdated "use it or lose it" method.
Restoring vital riverside habitat with unlikely partnersVast swaths of riverside habitat in California's Central Valley have been lost, threatening species like the Swainson's Hawk and Chinook salmon. Because most of the land in this region is privately held, we're reaching out to ranchers and farmers to help them get paid for restoring or maintaining habitat as part of the Central Valley Habitat Exchange.
Using science to find the best steps to restorationIn 2014, EDF, our partners and the governments of the U.S and Mexico planned and launched a historic "pulse flow" of water that was designed to mimic, at a reduced scale, the kind of periodic floods that inundated the Colorado River Delta for eons. We're investigating the success of the pulse flow to plan a path forward to restoration.

An unusual number of car break-ins have occurred in Colorado Springs as of late, especially on the northeast side of town.
Police have not determined if the string of break-ins are connected, but people living on the northeast side tell 11 News they are certain it's the same crooks.
Security cameras at one home in the Stetson Hills area caught a woman on tape pulling at a car door handle.
"We saw a person at 2 in the morning trying to open the door...it was locked, so they walked away," Kamel Elwazeir said, describing what is shown on tape.
It's unknown if the woman is connected to an actual crime, but with so many break-ins in the area, it immediately roused Elwazeir's suspicions.
Neighbors a few miles away in another northeast neighborhood near Rangewood and Vickers weren't as lucky as Elwazeir. Three families woke up Sunday morning to shattered windows and ransacked cars.
"[They] took a few dollars that were in the center console and some hockey pucks that I had from coaching," Louis Cunfer said. He told 11 News it was apparent the crooks had rummaged through his entire vehicle, taking anything left out in the open. Entry was gained by breaking the back passenger window.
The crook or crooks also went through his next door neighbor's car, and broke another window on a truck belonging to the man across the street.
"I guess I just figured it's a crime of opportunity, so they just hit the cars that were close by," Cunfer said.
11 Newsreported earlier last month about an overall citywide increase in car break-ins and actual vehicle thefts over the summer. Police said at the time that 90 percent of these crimes occur because we give crooks the opportunity to steal valuables left in our vehicles, and that by making sure we leave nothing in our cars, we can dramatically decrease our odds of becoming a victim.
If you have the option to, police also suggest parking your car inside a garage.
If you're ever the victim of a break-in, call police immediately at 444-7000 to file a report.

Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda is expected to go to Mbeya region on May 10 for a three-day official visit.
Mbeya regional commissioner Abbas Kandoro told journalists yesterday Pinda would arrive in the city on May 10, this year, and the same day, he would visit Tanganyika Parkers Meat Industry based in Mbeya City.
During his visit, said Kandoro, the premier would also officially light the Uhuru Torch and launch the national campaign for population census.
He said on May 11, the PM would honour and light the Uhuru Torch at the Sokoine Memorial Stadium.
Kandoro said that during the event, the Prime Minister would also launch the campaigns to mobilise people participate in the national census expected to be held on August 26, this year.
The RC said that on the third day of the visit the PM would inspect three agricultural centres at Uyole area.
Kandoro named the centres, as Agriculture Research Institute, the Agricultural Institute and the Livestock Research Institute. He said after the last activity, the PM would return to Dar es Salaam.
In another development, Kandoro has already received a resignation letter from Mbozi district commissioner Gabriel Kimoro.
He said that even after Kimoro's resignation, the regional government ban imposed on buying unripe coffee beans would remain intact.
The RC explained that there was no lenience demonstrated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, as claimed by the resigning DC; and that his office was keen on stopping the illegal trade.
Last week, Kimoro announced to resign from his position, as Mbozi DC in what he described, as 'receiving threats' from some people because he was implementing the law that bans the sale and purchase of unripe coffee beans in the district.

- "My girlfriend, the love of my fucking life...man, I was pulling moves in the joint so this bitch could pay rent. Now, she won't answer the phone."
- ―Dwayne Forge.
- "Don't kill me. I know I fucked Dwayne over real bad but he wouldn't want me dead."
- ―Cherise Glover begging for Niko to spare his life.
Ruff Rider is the first mission given by Dwayne Forge in Grand Theft Auto IV to Niko Bellic, which involves his ex-girlfriend (Cherise) and her new man (Jayvon), a guy who apparently ratted out Dwayne and sent him to prison so many years ago. Niko agrees to help out the melancholic Dwayne by going to speak with the couple and getting his money back, which Dwayne was sending Cherise while he was in the joint.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the arcade in Chinatown
- Execute Cherise or let her live
- Chase Jayvon down
- Get Dwayne's money
- Go meet Dwayne at Cluckin' Bell
Head over to the Videogeddon arcade in Chinatown. Niko will spot Cherise and Jayvon together. When Jayvon sees Niko, he fires a Micro-SMG at him but Niko ducks just in time. Jayvon grabs a motorcycle and heads off leaving you to quickly deal with Cherise.
If your intentions are revenge, use a pistol or any weapon to execute or simply kill Cherise. If you want to let her live, ignore Cherise and get on the nearby motorcycle. Chase Cherise's boyfriend Jayvon. It is possible to just head due south and cut off Jayvon at the South Parkway. Finish him off and take the money.
Niko will automatically phone Dwayne. Meet him at the Cluckin' Bell near Star Junction and give him the money. After the mission, it might be a good idea to get yourself a nice snack from the cashier. This will bring up your health.
If you spared Cherise, she becomes a random character in North Holland and you can do a side mission for her.
For a slightly easier chase, take a car to the mission and run back to it, rather than taking the intended motorcycle. This will allow you to simply knock Jayvon from his bike and run him over, rather than trying to control the bike and gun at once.
Video Walkthrough
- Jayvon Simson - Killed by Niko on orders from Dwayne Forge for ratting him out.
- Cherise Glover - Killed by Niko for ratting on Dwayne. (Note: Cherise's death is optional)
- In Weazel News post-mission report, a civilian mentions that they were crazy "because of those violent video-games". This is obviously Rockstar Games mocking Jack Thompson's criticism towards violent video games (and especially Grand Theft Auto).
- The player does not need to use the motorcycle to chase Jayvon, they can just use a car.
- This mission is one of several story missions which can be done after completing the main story.
- Jayvon's clothes can change depending on how many times you replay the mission.

Sleep has become a casualty of modern life. The 2003 National Survey of Children's Health showed that 15 million US children and teens get inadequate sleep. Teenagers aren't' the only ones accumulating sleep deficits. Adults get about 10% less sleep every night than our great grandparents did and bout 60 to 90 minutes less than what is desirable. Workers with long commutes get up earlier and arrive home later, limiting the number of hours available for sleep (and increasing the risk of nodding off behind the wheel). Even once they make it to bed, more than 15% of adults in the United States experience insomnia or have trouble sleeping.
If you are excessively sleepy or you just don't feel well rested in the morning, what can you do about it? Fortunately, there are many things we can do to improve sleep as individuals, family members, and a community. Here's a checklist to help you get a good night's sleep.
If you can't fall asleep within 20 minutes, get out of bed, leave the bedroom, and try one of these strategies – snack, warm bath, soothing music, inspiring book, making a list or jotting in a diary.

BEAUFORT, N.C. (AP) - Blackbeard's ship has surrendered more of its historical treasures.
Two cannons were raised from the wreck of the Queen Anne's Revenge off the North Carolina coast on Thursday. Conservators and Cape Fear Community College students were at the site of the shipwreck when the cannons were discovered.
A dive expedition at the site this month hoped to bring up eight cannons, but efforts were hampered by bad weather until Thursday.
There's a $450,000 effort underway to remove all the artifacts from the ship by the end of next year. An extended dive expedition is planned this fall.
Blackbeard captured a French slave ship and renamed it Queen Anne's Revenge in 1717. Volunteers with the Royal Navy killed Blackbeard in Ocracoke Inlet the following year, five months after the ship sank.

Steve decided to join the dark side a couple of weekends ago.
Steve tasting green juice for the first time.
For our anniversary last August he bought me Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr and I have tried to eat a (mostly) vegetarian diet ever since. The book is hilarious and inspiring. Kris had a no holds bar way of writing that makes all the reasons to eat a healthier diet really make sense. A couple days after I finished the juicing chapter we took the long drive to the only Crate and Barrel in the DFW Metroplex and I bought a Breville Compact Juice Fountain. Juicing is a lot of work but the benefits are wonderful. If I drink green juice everyday my skin is clearer, my focus is sharper, and I have energy for days. But Steve, his parents, and my coworkers all cringe when they see me sucking my green goodness through a straw.
But Steve and I have recently been stuck in kind of a rut. We are both officially in our mid-twenties and staying in shape isn't as easy as it once was. Enter the juice cleanse. On a Thursday Steve suggested that we try a 3 day cleanse to give our bodies the reset that they needed and to get a jump start on our summer plans to get in shape for our wedding. I can't tell you the last time that I unrolled my yoga mat and running wasn't giving Steve what he wanted either. So I jumped at the opportunity to put my $100 juicer to good use and to get Steve on the green goodness band wagon.
Saturday morning we woke up and I got to work. I made my signature juice with 2 cucumbers, a handful of kale, handful of spinach, and pears (2 for Steve). And into our adventure we went. The first couple of hours were pretty easy once we had our first round of juice in us.
We had to juice/blend in the bathroom on our side of the house most of the time as Steve's mom was busy in the kitchen and the juicer is LOUD. Like a wood chipper in your house.
I then made our lunch shakes (we decided to do a liquid fast instead of just a plan juice fast for health reasons) into the shake went a banana, 2 strawberries, a handful of blueberries, a cup of chocolate soy milk, Complete EFA (Omega 3,6,9), a scoop of Amazing Grass Antioxidant powder, and Spirulina.Berries and Bananas patiently waiting to be prepped into baggies for freezing for shakes.
So yummy. I drink this every morning that I am on time for work.
We then had to run some errands and this is where the side effects and the detox really started to happen. We ended our errands at Whole Foods so I could buy more of my probiotics and so that we could purchase more fruits and veggies for or juicing adventure. Have you ever been to a Whole Foods on a Saturday? It's food aroma heaven. The moment we walked into the store we need we had made a mistake, everything smelled and looked so tasty. We stuck to our guns bought our veggies and high tailed it out of there.
Such a handsome helper ;)
As soon as we got home we had to start juicing again. The whole process from preparing the veggies to juicing to clean up takes about 45 minutes. We sped through this juicing so we could get something into our stomachs. We got a little crazy and added watercress, mint, and celery, also we substituted pears for apples. The juice wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It tasted how freshly cut grass smells, with a hint of mint. There was a lot of chugging going on this round.
We then promptly had our dinner shakes (the same as above, minus the powders, plus spinach and kale). And then we had to fight the good fight. We had to fight the urge to break our cleanse and to eat pizza. Steve's parents had ordered pizza for dinner while we were out running errands. And it was lurking in the fridge. There it was, a wonderful greasy cardboard box sitting on top of all of our veggies. And in it was the best looking Little Caesar's I have ever seen. Cold pizza is probably my favorite snack, second only to hot pizza or parm/garlic cheese sticks. We love pizza. It's our thing. We had to literally talk each other out of it multiple times that night. And finally we went to sleep. I slept like a baby. The first good night of sleep I had had in so long. And it was all because my body was so tired of detoxing that I just had to sleep. I slept for almost 12 hours straight.
Juicing in the music room, so what? Also these cucumber were organic and washed very very well. Any other fruits or veggies that are not organic should be washed properly and then pealed.
Steve had to work Sunday morning, so I dragged myself out of bed and made a quadruple batch of juice (same as above minus celery and mint) so that Steve could have his morning and afternoon juice while he was at work and I also made our shakes (same as above, with powders, kale, and spinach). It was tough to do all the work that goes into juicing and making shakes but in the end it was worth it. Steve went off to work jugs of liquid in hand and I got ready to have my 'girly' Sunday. My morning juice went down without a hitch and I even felt energized. It felt like all my cells we on fire, like they had just taken a breath of fresh air. I decided that it might be a good idea to help my body to clean out the toxins by doing a home enema (gross, I know, but seriously, it helps during a detoxing period). My stomach hadn't been flushing as well as I had hoped with the liquid fast and I was kind of worried, but it turns out my body was not in as dire straits as I had thought.
Homemade ashram
I took a long hot shower, did my Sunday pedicure, and then it happened. The detox symptoms hit me like a freight train. Migraine, swollen foot (I have a screw in my foot from where I broke it in 4 places in 2009 and whenever something is amiss in my body, my foot acts up), and extreme fatigue. I stayed in bed almost all day until it was absolutely necessary for me to get up and bathe Sid before Steve came home from work. It took everything I had to move, but I knew that it was good. I knew the detox was working. Once Steve got home we agreed that 48 hours was probably enough for our first cleanse/fast and that I especially needed to break it.
And we wanted pizza. So bad! But we also knew that overloading our bodies with animal products and bad fats was the worst thing that we could do. We literally had to google this last point to stop ourselves from devouring pizza. So it was whole wheat bread and tomato soup for me and scrambled eggs and toast for Steve. And that was it. We had endured our first cleanse.
Steve says that he would do it again, and I would definitely have to agree. The benefits are still hanging around a week after we finished. I lost 5 pounds (I don't think water weight as I really ramped up the amount of water I was drinking during the cleanse) and I started doing morning and evening yoga again. We as a couple have made way better food choices. The cleanse really made us consider what we were putting into our bodies every evening when we had our first shared meal of the day. I can't say that we won't have pizza on Thursday night, but on all the other nights of the week we have definitely had healthier food.
Thanks for reading!

Ke$ha went to rehab on Friday for an eating disorder. There's speculation that her producer, Dr. Luke, is the root of the problem because he allegedly told her she looked like, quote, "a f**ing refrigerator" two years ago. She said, "I'm a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself, but I've found it hard to practice. I'll be unavailable for the next 30 days, seeking treatment for my eating disorder - to learn to love myself again, exactly as I am." The vegetarian is in the same Illinois clinic that treated Demi Lovato for her eating disorder in 2010.
Chris Brown sent Rihanna a letter on New Year's Eve, "where he said he was sorry and that he would never hurt her," but the apology was clearly too little, too late. She made it clear one night while she was smoking with some friends, Rihanna pulled out the letter. She put it in the middle of the bed on top of a big candle-holder, and put her burnt ashes on it. They all started to put ashes on that letter until it burned. Rihanna said, "good riddance."
Paul Walker's "Fast and Furious" character Brian O'Connor won't be killed off in the upcoming 7th installment, even though he died before filming was completed. Instead, the character will be "retired". They're going to write some new scenes and pair them up with existing footage Walker shot before his death to give the character a proper send-off while also allowing the franchise to continue without him. Are you okay with that?
Jennifer Hudson gave her assistant Walter a new house for Christmas, and took video of his insane reaction!

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SF Foodie Really Yummy! I've been looking for a chunkier cous cous and this fits the bill. This is so easy to prepare and it tastes great! Instead of water I use chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. I let it simmer for an extra minute or two as I find 10 mins doesn't cook the cous cous all the way through. Mix it with cucumbers, tomatoes, lime juice, dill, and a pinch of salt to make a great summer salad! June 5, 2012

Oh my gosh! I am SO impressed! I'm debating whether or not I can do this... did you add wire to the tomato cages to make the branches? You come up with the best ideas! Thank you!

Anne, I didn't add branches, it's just the garland poking out : ) This would be super cute in your classroom as your class advent tree!!

I totally love this idea! We have lots of wintery looking bushes and trees in our yard that I could take clippings of and do this will, I think my front porch may just be getting a new Christmas tree this week :)

LOVE this idea! My mom did something similar years ago when I was a child-used a tomato cage and wrapped it with grapevine and then let it dry, wrapped it with white lights, and tucked artificial poinsettia flowers here and there. One of my favorite things. LOVE your blog-so inspiring.

I Can See Tomorrow--A Guide For Living with Depression
by Patricia L. Owen, Ph.D.Review by William Zaccagnino, Froma Lippman, and Marianne Thomas
Oct 1996
I Can See Tomorrow--A Guide For Living with Depression by Patricia L. Owen, Ph.D., is a very complete book on depression with informative addenda that include resources and agencies throughout the nation to help people with depression and bipolar disorder.
Dr. Owen has provided a helpful guide for those who recognize or suspect that they have depression. From the start, readers who may only suspect they have depression can hold themselves up against the measures of the types and symptoms of depression to make that first judgment about obtaining appropriate treatment, whether that is medications, psychotherapy, or both. The book is especially valuable for those who also are recovering alcoholics or substance abusers.
Dr. Owen offers an assortment of information about the defining features of depression, the causes of depression, therapy, medications, relationships with family, and the spiritual dimensions of this disorder. Each of her chapters discusses a topic and includes questions readers may ask about themselves relative to the topic and what they may do to help themselves.
Because stigma still surrounds depression as it does other psychiatric disorders, Dr. Owen's discussions about common misperceptions and myths may be particularly helpful. This information can be central to readers' accepting their depression, the causes of depression, selecting a psychotherapist, accepting the need for using an antidepressant, and finding a comfortable position in the family, with friends, and in organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous. The battle against depression is formidable, but the barrier of stigma significantly magnifies it.
Owen also has complied an appendix listing some of the common antidepressants. She includes information about how the medications work, side effects, dosages, and specific pointers for recovering alcoholics and substance abusers.
Dr. Owen comments on the theoretical nature of chemical imbalance as a cause of brain disorders and on persons with depression having the right to contribute to treatment decisions about their own care. The reviewers believe, however, that putting too much emphasis on the empowerment of the person as opposed to the value of the medication may lead to some depressed persons deciding against needed medication, temporarily or permanently, because of their depressed mood. They may act out of simple dislike of taking medications rather than out of clear thinking about the therapeutic value of the prescribed drug.
Overall, Dr. Owen provides valuable information about depression and offers individuals and their families or significant others support and hope for future recovery and relief from illness.
I Can See Tomorrow--A Guide For Living With Depression by Patricia Owen, Ph.D. Hazelden, Center City, MN, 1995. 195 pp.

Mitt Romney went into the first presidential debate needing to put President Barack Obama on defense while remaining controlled, calm and relatable in an effort to change the dynamics of the race.
He did.
The former Massachusetts governor, who is trailing Obama in the polls, went on the attack quickly and continued to shape nearly every issue into a referendum on Obama's record. He criticized the president for backing "trickle-down government" and chided him for not backing policies that would create more jobs, saying "status quo isn't going to cut it." He even tried to cater to the interests of swing states such as Colorado, chastising Obama for slashing oil and gas permits.

- Follow: Running transcript as Obama, Romney square off.
Romney's aggressive, and relatively respectful, tone and demeanor helped him frame his policies in more passionate terms than at any time in recent months. And no matter where the debate questions and answers strayed, he was adept at bringing the conversation back to the struggling economy and jobs — the issues cited as the most important among voters.
Obama, appearing listless and unengaged, spent most of the 90 minutes ineffectively playing prevent defense and, by most measures, losing the debate in the process.
"Mitt Romney probably had the best night of this campaign, while President Obama fell flat," said Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh.
Republican strategists characterized this debate as a do-or-die moment for Romney to get people to see him differently. Afterward, they said he would live to see another day.
"I think this puts his campaign back on track during the most critical part of the campaign and sets the stage for a dramatic second debate," said Dick Wadhams, a Colorado GOP consultant.
With less than five weeks until the election, and early voting already underway in a number of states, it remains to be seen whether Romney's performance appealed to undecided and weak partisan voters.
"I think Mitt Romney appealed well to his supporters, but I don't see that he appealed to the independents or undecideds more significantly," said Bruce Buchanan, a presidential expert at The University of Texas.
But if Romney didn't sway undecideds, it's hard to believe Obama did, either. The president tried to deflect Romney's attacks rather than counterpunch. Appearing detached, he continually looked down, writing notes nearly every time Romney spoke. He appeared on message to a fault: When asked about Romney's accusation that he cared only about making government bigger, he ignored the question and shifted into how he wanted to reform the country's education system.
Additionally, although Obama had openings, he never mentioned Romney's failure to release more tax returns, his money invested in the Cayman Islands, his tenure at Bain Capital, his record on jobs while Massachusetts governor and perhaps most surprisingly, Romney's earlier remarks suggesting that 47 percent of Americans were dependent on government and viewed themselves as victims.
However, Obama's nonconfrontational tone is not expected to last into the near future.
"Make no mistake," Marsh said. "The Obama campaign will do what Obama didn't do tonight. They will go after Romney's mistakes, vagaries and missteps immediately."
Overall, both candidates managed to regularly stray from the facts, according to independent fact-checking groups. And there wasn't a particular moment or zinger likely to capture the public's attention.
Perhaps the most memorable line was when Romney said to Obama:
"Mr. President, you're entitled to your own house and your own airplane but not your own facts."
Indeed, much of the first half of the debate was heavily laden with numbers and wonkish policy arguments, and it was at those moments that Obama — a former law professor — appeared the most comfortable.
If Romney dropped the ball anywhere, it was likely when Obama put him on defense about the health-care plan he created while Massachusetts governor, which is similar to Obama's plan. Romney said the difference was that when his plan passed, he had bipartisan support, while Obama "pushed" his plan through Congress with no Republican backing.
Romney also came up short in providing specifics on how he would revive the economy, change the tax code and reduce the national debt.

If Jasmine seems to have a wide view of the world, it's only natural—after all, she has lived in just about all four corners of the globe.
Born in Wales but raised and educated in England, Jasmine obtained a diploma in commercial French and German from the Lycee Francais in London after graduating from high school. Recruited by the British Foreign Service, her first overseas assignment was to the embassy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
It was while Jasmine was working in Brazil that she met her future husband, Malcolm, who was also British and was in Rio as a marketing executive for a pharmaceutical company. They dated for a year and then flew to England to be married.
The next day they were on a plane to New York because Malcolm felt if he was to get anywhere in this business, he had to be in New York, the world capital of dynamic marketing. In retrospect, Jasmine realizes the move was completely brash and reckless and everything else that goes with being young. It was also enormous fun.
For someone who had joined the Foreign Office with a mind to traveling, being married to a marketing executive proved a suitable substitute. Jasmine and her growing family moved from the United States to Australia, then back to the States (with a few interesting sidetrips to Hong Kong and Singapore), then to Canada before finally settling in America.
While in Australia, Jasmine attended two universities, graduating with a double major in history and philosophy. During one of the family's brief sojurns in Cleveland, Jasmine managed to squeeze in the requisite course work and dissertation to graduate with a Master's degree in history and archival administration. But it was in Canada, while she was busy raising four very young children and pondering whether she should continue with her efforts to get a doctoral degree, that her life took a turn she hadn't foreseen.
They were living in Toronto, and Malcolm was called in as a consultant by Harlequin Enterprises to do a marketing study. When he left at the end of the day, the president of Harlequin gave Malcolm a selection of romance novels to take home to his wife. Malcolm never ended up doing the study, but Jasmine read her very first Harlequin novels.
Captivated by the books, and realizing that she could take a writing career with her no matter where her husband was transferred next, Jasmine began to write her first romance novel. At the time, all romances seemed to be filled with British virgins being rescued by domineering Greek tycoons, and she wanted to write a different type of story, with a different type of happy ending: one where the hero and heroine were more equal and where the heroine was more mature.
Since she had no idea about guidelines and editorial requirements, she forged ahead entirely oblivious to the problems inherent in her approach. If her attitude seems naive and casual, that's exactly what it was! However, in retrospect, Jasmine is convinced that the compulsion to write a novel was much more deeply rooted than it seemed at the time. Nowadays, she can't imagine living her life without the stimulation and pleasure that comes from writing.
Her four young children have now grown up into four wonderful young adults with families of their own. In between visiting with her eleven grandchildren, Jasmine has found time to write more than fifty romances—ranging from historicals to contemporaries, Regencies to Intrigues.
She has been nominated for numerous RITA and Romantic Times Awards. Indeed, she has been nominated for the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Romantic Suspense and as Rocky Mountain Fiction Writer of the Year for her book The Refuge, released by MIRA Books.
Jasmine enjoys hearing from readers and can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com. She also has her own Web site at www.JasmineCresswell.com.

Although Rawlings wished to remain anonymous, and Judge Murner and Mayor Carter attempted to honor his wish, Magistrate Scott Davis and another individual, former county judge-executive candidate Dewey Wotring, filed lawsuits in an effort to force the donor's name to become public.

Hey Mat, thanks again! This was completed totally with Photoshop. I used stock 3D in conjunction with the basic 3D capabilities of CS4/CS5. I have some actions to help me automate the tedious tasks, and I'll just play with a bunch of layers and use blending modes, transforms, and layer masks to combine all the shapes together. Lots of trial and error, plus random exploration. Thanks for asking!
Totally in photoshop!? That's impressive! Thanks for giving incite into the process Andre. Currently doing lots of trial and error myself on my next piece in photoshop. It's always fun especially if you learn something new. Cheers! :)

Belief in the process of creating a hat made perfectly for each individual, Graham focus' on fitting your personality as well as your head. Designed for both style and comfort, the weight and texture of the felt and straw are carefully considered.

His clients seek out the quality and craftsmanship reflected in his work. With that said, he is well known is his market niche, and often appears in print, television and movies. These beautiful objects are built for the long haul. Graham offers service for your investment, using an extensive collection of block and molds.

JERUSALEM (WUSA) - Cancer knows no boundaries, and neither does the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Komen has promised to make an impact in every city, region and country until we end breast cancer forever.
On October 28th Israel will host that country's first ever Komen Race for the Cure. 9NEWS NOW Andrea Roane made a trip to Jerusalem this summer and talked to the mayor about the big event.
In May 45-thousand people participated at the Komen Global Race for the Cure on the National Mall. Women, men and children all helped make an impact in the fight against breast cancer.
The race in Jerusalem may be a little smaller in scale than DC, but the country will welcome runners and walkers of all faiths, nationalities and political leanings.
"There is one city that is the center of the world and that is Jerusalem," said Mayor Nir Barkat.
He added, "I think basically what we will be doing here in October is pray, raise awareness and improve our ability to improve research."
Four thousand people in Israel are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. It's the number one cause of death among Israeli women age 45-55. The mayor believes with Komen coming to Jerusalem it will send a message to the world that we have to do more to eliminate the threat from breast cancer.
The mayor will make sure the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem are lighted up pink breast cancer's token color.
This year maybe the first race, but Komen has been active in the country for nearly 2-decades. In 1994, Israel was selected to receive Komen's very first international research grant.
And a research symposium will kick off Race for the Cure week in this region's hub of health life sciences.
Ambassador Nancy Brinker founded and CEO of Komen for the Cure told us, "It will be preceded by a technology and bio tech conference where we will be exploring new methods of screening."
Proceeds from Israel's Race for the Cure will support more local breast cancer initiatives and Komen outreach programs around the world.

I LOVE this blog! I found it through the NYT article. I haven't looked at all the photos yet, but I'm surprised at not seeing any black women yet. In the small and medium sized towns I've lived in, there are always wonderfully dressed black women of a certain age.

Library FAQs
Click on these topics to find the answers
How do I check out items from the library?
For CWC students or faculty/staff, you must complete a library privileges application either in the library or online. Once added to our database, you may check out items from the front desk located on the first floor of the library.
For CWC distance students, complete the library privileges application online. Once added to our database, you may check out items.

All current faculty, staff, Professor Emeriti, and students of CWC at all locations are eligible for library privileges. Also, CWC is a public library and therefore serves its local community. Public patrons have the same benefits as CWC faculty, staff, and students except they may not check out library or instructor reserves or use our Interlibrary Loan service.

Due to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other legal obligations we are prohibited from sharing information about patrons. We can tell you when an item is due to be returned. You can also see when items are due to be returned by looking at the item's entry in WYLDCAT.
INTERLIBRARY LOAN top
What is an Interlibrary Loan?
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is the system of agreements that allows patrons of one library to borrow materials from another library. Items are mailed from the lending library to the requesting library and patrons are notified when they arrive.
How much does it cost to use Interlibrary Loan?
There is no charge for ILL services except in rare cases when the lending library imposes a fee. If this is the case, you will be asked to approve the charge beforehand. This service is only available for CWC students, faculty, and staff.
Is there a limit on how many Interlibrary Loan items I may request?
There is no limit on how many ILL requests you may place but the service takes both time and money from two libraries, so please be selective. We are happy to help you find the best choices for your needs.
How long does it take to get something ordered through ILL (Interlibrary Loan)?
Typically, items sent from a Wyoming library arrive within a week and out of state items can take up to two weeks. We ask that you allow ample time for your request to arrive.
Where do I pick up Interlibrary Loan items?
Items available for pick up are located at the front desk. If you cannot come to campus, contact a library staff member.
What kind of materials can be requested through ILL?
Books, articles, DVDs, maps, books on tape or CD, there are no restrictions on the types of library materials borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. There may, however, be restrictions on the types of materials other libraries are willing to lend.
How long is the check out for Interlibrary Loan materials?
The checkout period is determined by the lending library and the lengths of time vary.
How will I know when Interlibrary Loan items are ready to pick up?
Using the contact information you provided us for your patron record, we will call you to let you know your materials have arrived. Please make sure your contact information is current.
Who can use Interlibrary Loan?
CWC staff and students may use Interlibrary Loan. Community members may access Interlibrary Loan services through their local public library.
Are there overdue fines on Interlibrary Loan materials?
Yes, CWC patrons with overdue ILL materials are charged $.25 per day, per item.
What if I never pick up an item I ordered through Interlibrary Loan?
After seven days, your item will be sent back to the lending library and your account will be charged a $1.00 per item fine.
Can Interlibrary Loan materials be renewed?
Contact the CWC Library at least three days before the due date. The CWC Library must contact the lending library to request the renewal but cannot grant a renewal without permission from the lending library.

Can someone else return my materials for me?
Yes, anyone can return your materials to the library for you. We cannot tell them what else you have checked out, in case they should ask. Due to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other legal obligations we are prohibited from sharing information about patrons
Can I return non-CWC items to the CWC Library?

Can I renew my items?
Yes, items can be renewed in person at the front desk, by phone, or online through the online catalog, WYLDCAT.

For example, if your book was due April 8 and on April 1 you request a renewal, the new due date would be May 1, four weeks from April 1, not four weeks from April 8, the original due date. Also, if your item(s) is already overdue, your renewal request may be denied. If it is accepted, you will still be responsible for any overdue charges that may have accrued.

If you do not return what is due, you will be billed for the non-returned items and any accrued fines. If your fine balance is not below $10 and/or you still have items checked out by the end of the semester, you will be placed on gradehold.
