We're famous! We spent a few days with the Real Housewives of New York City while they were filming on St. John, and despite an exploding tea kettle resulting in a badly burned hand and being chewed out by Bethenny, we're going to go ahead and say it was worth it. Not only did we cook for the lovely ladies during their stay at Presidio del Mar, we kept their crew of almost 30 people sated as well. The first of two episodes filmed on St. John and St. Thomas will be airing THURSDAY MAY 13 @ 10 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
Ah, springtime. A time for renewal, hope and veggie primavera. It's a nice, simple dish that lets the flavors of all the ingredients come through. Give it a try!

The University of South Carolina is opening a new medical school campus in Greenville with a charter class of 53 students.
University spokesman Wes Hickman says a ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday.
The school is a partnership between USC and the Greenville Hospital System and becomes one of 136 in the nation.
Hickman says a hallmark of the school is a curriculum designed to educate physicians knowledgeable about America's rapidly evolving health care delivery system.
The school is only one of two in the nation that requires students to complete emergency medical technician training and is only one of a few to be located on the campus of a public health system.

I love reading everyone's post about the trade and free agents we should go after this summer. And, just for the record, I love Batum's game and potential (even though I'm not quite sure that he's worth as much as he might be offered by another team this summer).
This leads me to what I perceive to be the worst case scenario -- a lot of the trade scenarios and free agent acquisitions propsed on this site seem to assume that we only have Batum locked in for his cap hold, rather than his new contract price.
Why wouldn't a Western Conference rival like San Antonio, Utah, or whoever else make a "toxic" offer to Batum on the first day possible, rather than generously waiting until we have already locked in all of our free agent acquisitions and trades?
Obviously, we made toxic offers to Utah players two years in a row (Millsap and Matthews). If the management team of a conference rival wanted to mess up the Blazers' grand plans for this off-season, it doesn't seem like it would be very hard to do.
If Batum received a toxic offer right off the bat, the Blazers would be in the uncomfortable position of having a short time window to decide whether they want to match (the potentially over-priced offer), or else risk that they let Batum walk and then come up relatively empty-handed from free agency and trades.
Am I missing something? Is there any reason why another team would NOT do this?

All I can say is "wow." Glad the Diamond Canes went into the NCAA Tourney today with one thing in mind: dominate. That's exactly what they did. Let's get going..
Here's a brief breakdown of the game by the Sun Sentinel beat writer Michael Casagrande.. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/um-hurricanes/sfl-miami-beats-oklahoma-state-in-ncaa-baseball-regional-20130531,0,4428650.story
In this article Barry Jackson lays out what many of us have said for awhile.. "STOP PLAYING RIDICULOUS OUT OF CONFERENCE GAMES EVERY YEAR." Yes, one per year is okay but not ND AND KSU in the same season (I understand this is set years in advanced but still). As the article points out and as we've said previously.. Play one tough opponent, two smaller conference opponents (Conference USA, Sun Belt, etc.) and then a 1AA. Even with the playoff taking into account Strength of Schedule, it's not worth making it too hard on yourself year in and year out as UM has the last few years (thanks Hocutt -_-).. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2013/05/heat-game-5-postscripts-um-changes-schedule-approach-books-teams-dolphins-notes.html
I understand this argument to move our Football playing Canes to Marlins Park but I think this would make us more of a joke then we are now when it comes to attendance at Sun Life/Landshark/Robbie Stadium. I think the seating would make it LESS intimate then our current location and it would just make UM seem like they're the adopted step child of college football that doesn't have their own place to go home to. Yea, I get SLS isn't truly UM's but now that the Marlins are gone, is it really THAT bad that they share a stadium with the phins? http://www.lostlettermen.com/why-the-u-should-switch-to-marlins-park/
Alright guys, have a safe Friday and of course.. Stay classy Canes Fans.

Jennifer Hudson Honors Slain Nephew with Julian D. King Gift Foundation
Jennifer Hudson kept the memory of her late nephew alive at the inaugural Julian D. King Gift Foundation Hatch Day celebration. The Oscar winner was joined by her son David Daniel Otunga Jr. and sister Julia at the De La Salle Institute in Chicago over the weekend. The sisters and volunteers wore shirts that read "Happy 10th Birthday Julian" as they handed out supplies to children for back to school. Julian was tragically murdered, along with Hudson's mother and brother, in October 2008.

okie thanks to sardelich, i managed to get around the featured post and news in picture issue.
How about getting the slider to work properly as in, how do i get the slider to just show the pictures and not the text? just like in the demo? and how come the photos are not the same size , i am under the impression that it auto resizes as long as it is above the size recommendation 940×530?
Hi gohsher,
thanks for your query. There is a setting in the slider widget:
> Autohide caption
If you check this then the text will auto hide and you the full image
In regards to the image size, it appears that this image is too small and your image need to be at least 730×365 (larger for full width slider):http://offshewent.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Lazy-Pig-on-couch-300x2401.jpg
Can you try uploading a larger version of this image to see if this resolves your problem?
Please let me know how you get on with this.
Hi Olaf, thank you , i managed to do it
Hi There.
Great theme, thanks very much. Just 1 problem i am having, I would like to have the height of the home slider set, so that it does not fluctuate the whole time per image height, any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Sozorob,
thanks for your query. It sounds like one of the images you are using is smaller than 730×365 in size which is the image size used by the slider.
Please let me know how you get on with this.
Kind regards
Hi Olaf.
Thanks for the response. So there is no way to simply constrain the proportions of the slider forcibly in the coding of it anywhere? this would be ideal for me, over making sure of those dimensions.
Hi Sozorob,
if you want to force a height then you could try something like this:
.aw_sliderblog_widget .flexslider { height: 100px !important; }
Please let me know how you get on with this.
Hi Olaf.
Thanks, I am not sure where to add this however, I am not really a experience developer, for the most part don't do customs like this.
I assume it is not in the style sheet, so which file and where in the code?
Sorry to be a pain
Hi sozorob,
you can paste the CSS rule above into your custom.css file and that should hopefully reduce your slider height to 100px. Please adjust the height to meet your requirements and let us know how you get on with this.
Kind regards
Hi Olaf.
Thanks, I tried that, it didn't hold the height unfortunately, still goes to random sizes per image. I added it to _assets/css/custom.css, under the theme files.
This was blank except for a commented message prior to my addition, is this correct.
—- —- —
Just a side not, I did update the theme yesterday, and it seems the small dot icons to switch between items in the slider don't appear, thought you may want to know about that.
Hi sozorob,
thanks for your query. A shame the css code didn't work. Maybe you are using "sliderlatest" and that why it didn't get picked up. Can you try this instead:
.aw_sliderblog_widget .flexslider, .aw_sliderlatest_widget .flexslider { height: 200px !important; }
In regards to the slider dots, this is an option in the widget options which you can enable or disable.
Please let me know how you get on with these two solutions.
Hi Olaf.
Thank you so much, that line of code works like a dream (sorry for delayed response, was away) the slider is sized at will to watever I want it at, no issues at all
Hi Olaf,
I've recently decided to change the background colour etc of the theme,
Only problem is that I wanted to know if it's possible to change the colours of the search bar..cannot seem to find it anywhere in the styles.
Hi RoryDigital,
thanks for your query.
To change the search bar styles you can use the following selectors:
searchform #s
Please let me know if you experience any problems with this.
hi i need help…how do i install the slider and make it look like template?
Hi Miradoro,
thank you for your query. The slider is a widget and you can add it to the homepage under Appearance > Widgets
Please let me know if you experience any problems with this.
hi again how do i insert content for slider blog?
Hi Miradoro,
thank you for your query. Slider blog widget displays your posts that are tagged as sliderblog
For more information about the widget's settings, please have a look in our documentation under Custom widgets> http://www.awesemthemes.com/theme-documentation/deadline-responsive
Please let me know if you experience any further problems with this.
Kind regards
Can the width of the responsive version be easily changed? I'd like to go up from 960px to 1140px or something similar.
Hi Tixylix,
thanks for your query regarding the width of the responsive design. By default we use the 960 grid and this cannot be changed easily as it would require changing the underlying grid to a new standard.
If you do require 1140px layout then we could provide you with a quote for this work via our customisation service over at www.wpcustomize.it
Kind regards
Hello, any information about page 404 and page author.
1) because unlike deadline (not responsive) the 404 page not sidebar?
2) how to be able to customize page author inserting biography, photos and links to social profiles?
thanks for the help!
Hi GeiFox,
thanks for your query. Both Deadline v1 and Deadline v2 (responsive) use a sidebar on the 404 page. If you want to remove this then you can then you can simply remove the code for this. In Deadline v2 the layout should adjust automatically. I'm not sure if this also the same in Deadline v1 so please give this a try and you might have to tweak this further.
In regards to customising the author page, you would have to create a page for author.php which is explained here:http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates
You could also have a look at the various author plugins which might also help you with your requirements:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/authorsure/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about-the-author-advanced/screenshots/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=author
Please let me know how you get on with this.

Awesome Theme, thank you for providing it. Question, how do I activate the slider? I've gone on the widget area and moved some things around and haven't been able to show the slider on the home page.
Will really appreciate some type of guidance.
Thank you.
Best, J
Hi Johan,
thank you for your query regarding our Deadline theme. It sounds like you need to create a page first and then assign it the homepage template. Once you have done this you can assign the slider widget to the homepage widget area and it should then appear when you refresh the page.
You find more information on this in our documentation:http://www.awesemthemes.com/theme-documentation/deadline-responsive
Please let me know how you get on with this.
Hi, is it possible to use the Blog view for different categories?
Hi Jeanius,
if you replace archive.php with the following code then it should give you the blog style view on categories. Make sure you take a backup of the file you are replacing firsthttp://snippi.com/s/dnej8uq
my twitter feed stop working. it also loos like it has stopped working on your demo(s). do you know what the issue could be?
Hi Tonyi,
we still haven't got around to fixing the Twitter API yet, however we have this in our schedule. In the interim you could look at using a Twitter plugin e.g. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mini-twitter-feed/ until we fixed the issue.

Hi, just wondering when I view my site www.offshewent.com on my iPhone, only the sidebar shows up but not the main body, can you let me know the reason and how to rectify this? Tks
Hi gohsher,
we checked your site on an iPhone and your site does indeed not look as expected. Are you using a mobile plugin in conjunction with the responsive theme?
Kind regards
Hi Olaf,
No I do not have any mobile plugins the only plguins I have are:
Add Font Family Dropdown to Visual Editor Akismet Bad Behavior BAW Gravatar Google image Contact Form Plugin Feedburner Email Widget Follow Button for Jetpack Jetpack by WordPress.com Official StatCounter Plugin Pinterest "Pin It" Button Lite Quick Cache TentBlogger Social Widget WordPress Importer WordPress SEO Wordpress Video Gallery WP Google Fonts WP Pinterest
Could you please advise?
Also while i am here: I would like to add a meta descp to the main blog
Hi Gohsher,
thanks for getting back to us. I've had another look at the problem appears to be the logo. You can fix this by adding the following line to your custom.css file (or child theme included in the latest version of Deadline):
#logo img { max-width: 100%; }
In regards to adding a meta description, I suggest you use a SEO plugin such as WordPress SEO > http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/
Please let us know how you get on with this.
Kind regards
Hi Olaf, I added the line to my custom css and now although the logo is working fine, the rest of the items like sliderblog, pictures, etc appear really small on the mobile phone.
pls help, thanks!
Hi gohsher,
we will look into this and get back to you asap.
Kind regards
Hi gohsher,
we checked this on a couple of iPhones and your site appears to be displaying correctly now.
Please let us know if you are still experiencing problems with this.
Kind regards
that's the thing, sometimes it shows up correctly, other times it doesn't display the slider or my posts at all and just states home and then only displays the content of the side bar for the last two days.
Any reason why it keeps switching to this ?
Hi gohsher,
it's odd that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work. We've not had any other reports about this. Are you using a caching plugin or hosting with internal caching that might be serving different versions?
We will keep an eye on this to see if any other customers report similar problems.
Kind regards
Hi Olaf,
Thank you for the documentation you provided, it really helped alot. Quick question, can I install this theme on multiple domains?
Thank you.
Best, Johan
Hi Johan,
that's great that you found our documentation helpful and it's great that you are considering to use our theme on multiple sites.
In regards to licensing please see the ThemeForest licensing agreement:http://themeforest.net/licenses/regular_extended
> Your use of the Work is limited to a single application.
This suggests that you would have to purchase a license for each domain. An extended license would allow unlimited use.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this.
Kind regards
Hello, I am having troubles in setting the "News in pictures" option of your theme. I have recently deleted all my tags (including the one that was responsible for the 16 thumbs in "News in pictures") and now I can't remember how to get them back.
Please, remind me how can I do this. I remember that I had to add a special tag to all 16 featured posts, which thumbs I wanted visualized on my home page, but I can't remember the whole process as I had done it 2 years ago. What tag should I add to the posts and how to show the 16 thumbnails on my homepage.
My website is: www.bialotechenie.net.
Looking forward to your reply! Thanks in advance!
Hi Nick,
thanks for your query. Could you contact us from within the ThemeForest account that you used to purchase our theme so that we can validate your purchase and look at your query.
1. In the slider, is their a way to have just the title of the post in the slider? I don't want my content of the post in the slider except the title.
2. In the recent posts/featured post section or subsections on the HOME page, is their a way to not show "No Comments". I just want the date. I have disabled the comments and it says "Comments Off".
Now: The Mill at Tidmarsh March 1, 2012 · No comments
What I want: The Mill at Tidmarsh March 1, 2012
Hi Bondoc,
thanks for your queries. To tweak this you can try the following but it would require some knowledge of PHP and HTML . Alternatively, you could request a quote for this modification via our customisation service over at www.wpcustomize.it.
1. includes/latest-post-slider.php

 <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
 <a class="continue" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php printf(__('Permanent Link to %s', 'framework'), get_the_title()); ?>"><?php _e('Continue Reading...', 'framework') ?>
2. includes/featured-posts-img.php
· <?php comments_popup_link(__('No comments', 'framework'), __('1 Comment', 'framework'), __('% Comments', 'framework')); ?>same for recent-posts-img.php, picture-post.php and and home-block-one to four
Please let us know how you get on with this.
i wonder if i can make sns login and members panel are available. Can members post by themselves? and on view page, if you click photo, it's even popup. parents page is moving to new page and shows the pic. can i make it as light popup? I have jobs board as well, Can I combine with this theme? I know ASP and CSS . and just studied PHP for wordpress. - possible to modify input posting form? add more fileds. please let me know, then I will decide to buy it.
Hi freeace00,
thanks for your query and interest in our Deadline WordPress theme.
In regards to your questions, I am not 100% sure what you mean by login and members panel. Our theme uses the standard WordPress admin area and user management functionality.
If you want to change the functionality and turn a photo link into a lightbox then you can either modify the underlying PHP / CSS files yourself, check if there is a plugin that does this kind of thing already or request a quote via our customisation service over at http://www.wpcustomize.it
In regards to your jobs board, it depends your underlying infrastructure and setup and how you are intending to you it alongside your WordPress installation.
If you require more fields on forms then I suggest you have a look at GravityForms: http://awe.sm/h9HHE which is a really simple plugin to build pretty much any kind of form.
Please let us know how you get on with this.
Hello i received a message saying I need to update from 2.02 to 2.2.2. How do I do this. Also my paypal button looks crazy and still is not fixed.
Thanks, Jenhttp://www.sesbm.com/?page_id=26
Hi Sesbm,
I hope you are well. In order to upgrade your version of Deadline I suggest you take a full backup of your site and database. Then you need to download the latest version from ThemeForest.
You then need to ensure that you merge any changes or additions to custom.css into the new version of Deadline. Then you can rename your current deadline folder and upload the new theme.
To fix the Paypal button you can add the following CSS rules to the child theme included in the new version of Deadline or add it to custom.css:
border: none!important; width: auto!important; height: auto!important;
Please let us know how you get on with this via our forum: http://support.awesem.com/
Dear sir,
I love the Deadline Responsive theme. There is just one issue. Whenever I click an image, I get a pulldown-menu in de left upper corner. This menu is for mobile use… I don't know how it gets there! Can you help me out?
Also… is there a changelog for 2.2.2? I did a lot of customizing and wonder whitch files are changed in the new version.
Hi jaapnr1,
thanks for your query. Can you send us a link to your site and we will have a look.
The link is: www.alpha-audio.nl. Thanks!
Hi jaapnr1,
thanks for your email.
Can you insert all this into custom.css or the style within the child theme:
.selectnav { display: none !important; } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { .selectnav { display: block !important; } }
If it's still not working then I suspect that there is an issue with the lightbox plugin you're using (which is not responsive btw).
In regards to upgrading, use a merging tool to compare the latest version against your version and then merge in your changes. We've included a child-theme in the latest release and recommend making all your customisation within the child theme so that you keep these separate.
Please let us know how you get on with this.

Denial of service made easy
A slow death for the default configuration.
In a thought experiment that might not be historically accurate, but is close enough, you want to build a web server, so you program a socket-based server. A client connects, requests a file, you send the file, the client disconnects, and everyone is happy. The total transaction time is around 300 milliseconds. But you get a bug report that some guy's web server keeps getting slower and slower until it eventually dies. What to do?

Hell Is Empty and All the Devils Are Here: 2013 SEC Media Days Superlatives
An appreciation of the word and fashion choices that make the unofficial kickoff of football season great.
Press conference MVP, coaches division: Steve Spurrier, South Carolina
If every SEC Media Days kicked off with the Ol' Ball Coach listing everything about college football that was bothering him that particular season, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Topics of this year's airing of grievances: the desire among SEC coaches to pay players a stipend for games, Notre Dame getting a voice in playoff structure creation along with conference commissioners, and the inequality of scheduling paths to the SEC championship game.
Press conference MVP, players division: Toney Hurd, Texas A&M
Toney Hurd on A&M logos in Alabama's weight room: "in our weight room, we have a lot of A&M too."

Achievement in outstanding opening statement strategy: Will Muschamp, Florida
Will Muschamp's remarks before his Q&A period consisted of 2,480 words and about six breaths devoted to the Gators' depth chart. The speech filled more than three pages of transcript. No other coach filled more than two.
Achievement in repeating the word "blessed" in a press conference: Gus Malzahn, Auburn
The Tigers' new head coach shows he's equal to the task of carrying this perennial favorite's BLESSED banner with four (four!) reps.

Achievement in grace under dumbfire: Mark Stoops, Kentucky
Applause, too, for the rookie head coach, who neither flinched nor openly rolled his eyes when asked if he'd like to recruit players from outside the state of Kentucky.
Best nickname: Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss
Freeze: "When I was a high school coach — I was asked this last year on ESPN
when we went to the car wash, why I wore a visor. When I was a high school coach, I wanted to be like Steve Spurrier. That's the truth. Ever since then, Steve and I have become really good friends. He liked that story. He calls me his visor guy."
Spurrier: "Hugh and I have a lot in common. We both play golf. We both wear visors. We call plays."
Achievement in keeping up of foreign relations: Les Miles, LSU
The Hat is well versed in the cultural hurdles that must be cleared when dealing with his second Australian punter, Jamie Keehn: "Again, you have to learn the language. You can't just speak to those guys. You have to know how to speak Australian."

The player-safety argument was not sitting well with the former Red Raider quarterback. "I mean, (Saban) showed up at the meeting and let it be known … I know the last three losses he's had have been against so up-tempo teams," Kingsbury said. "So I'll just leave it at that."
The proposal would strike a major blow to up-tempo spread offenses that often run plays before the opposing defense is set. Coaches like Alabama's Nick Saban and Arkansas' Bret Bielema last summer said that up-tempo offenses are likelier to cause injuries for defensive players who can't get off of the field in time.

"When we got to the party about eight o'clock it was a packed house at the hotel," Evans told AL.com. "We walked in and the first people we saw was the entire Auburn staff standing there on our left and to my right was Kirby Smart and the Bama staff. I was like 'This has never happened in Auburn before and probably never will again.'"

Just saw this over at ESPN.
Tucker Carlson from a Fox affiliate recently said that Mike Vick should have been executed for killing dogs. Full story below the fold
PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles are more worried about Michael Vick's injured leg than another attack on his dogfighting past.
Fox analyst Tucker Carlson gave the harshest critique of Vick's past yet, saying the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback "should have been executed" for his gruesome dogfighting crimes.
" Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did [it] in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that.
" -- Fox analyst Tucker Carlson
Carlson was guest hosting for Sean Hannity's show on Fox News Channel on Tuesday night when he made the remarks. He led a panel discussion about President Barack Obama commending the owner of the Eagles for giving Vick a second chance after his release from prison. Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring.
"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances," Carlson said on the show. "But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did [it] in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that. He wasn't, but the idea that the president of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs?"
Pamela Browner White, the Eagles senior vice president of public affairs and government relations, said the team had no comment.
The Eagles did not practice on Wednesday so Vick, voted an NFC Pro Bowl starter, was not available for comment.
Neither Vick's agent, Joel Segal, nor Fox News immediately returned phone messages on Wednesday.
This season, Vick has gone from a seldom-used backup to the NFC's leading passer, the catalyst for Philadelphia's dynamic offense. He was selected in a leaguewide vote by NFL players, coaches and fans to start for the NFC in the Jan. 30 Pro Bowl in Honolulu, and has led the Eagles to the No. 3 seed in the NFC.
He bruised a leg on the first play of the Eagles' 24-14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday night and might not play in Sunday's season finale against the Dallas Cowboys.
NFC East blog
ESPN.com's Matt Mosley writes about all things NFC East in his division blog.
Carlson, a conservative commentator, was angry that Obama told Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie he believes people who have paid for their crimes should have the opportunity to contribute to society again.
"But the idea that the president of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs [is] kind of beyond the pale," he said.
Vick, who saw his first dogfight as a 7-year-old, has revived his career and is taking steps to rebuild his image. He spends time on his off days working with the Humane Society of the United States and speaking to school and community groups about the cruelty of dogfighting. He has said he'd never be able to completely forget the horrific acts he witnessed and committed.
He made headlines recently when he said he genuinely cares about animals and would like to have a dog for a pet. Vick said his kids ask him every day for a dog and wants to adopt one for his family.
It won't happen soon. Under the terms of his probation, which ends in May 2012, he cannot own dogs during that time.
Carlson called Vick "some creepy rich overpaid football player" and used his platform to take a dig at Obama.
"He went to jail for two years. I mean, whatever," Carlson said. "I think the president should be quiet on this one."
Wow is all I can say, Mike Vick was my favorite player growing up next to Randy Moss for the simple fact that he was so exciting to watch. Then the dog fighting came out and I was upset but I personally didnt think it was as big of a deal as a lot of people made it out to be. I was in the small camp that wanted the Vikings to bring him in when he was reinstated, and now that he's revived his career I couldnt be happier because he deserves it. Getting back to the point, I can not fathom why this Tucker Carlson could say such a thing, it's absolutely ridiculous and he should be fired.
What do you guys think? Please lets not get personal if another person doesnt agree with you about Mike Vicks past.

Top 10 Creepiest Abandoned Insane Asylums
For some, a mentally deranged person is creepy and gives chills but how about abandoned asylums? People have become intrigued in these establishments as they have heard rumors and stories of unexplainable events that have happened at insane asylums. Some become shocked when they learn how past psychiatric doctors treated their patients. The acts that they have done are really grave. You will get the idea on why these locations are truly haunted.
1-Danvers State Lunatic Asylum
Considered as one of the scariest asylums right now, the Danvers Asylum is at the top of Hawthorne hill in Massachusetts. Even though the structure is magnificently beautiful in the outside, it is quietly rotting in the inside. Danvers Asylum built in 1874 is formerly known as the place wherein witch trials have been made. It turned dark in the middle of century. Electrical shock therapy and other heinous treatments are used for patients who became ghastly as they roam the asylum with almost no clothes. It is now transformed into apartments after long abandonment.
2-Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Also popular as being one of the haunted places in U.S.A and it has managed to capture the attention of the paranormal people in certain T.V shows. Stands in Weston, West Virginia, the asylum is built in 1864. With patients of mental delusions, the Trans asylum is also known for gruesome tortures and therapy like the water shock. Aside from the inhumane treatments, keeper of the institution like the warders beat the patients brutally together with some inmates. It is documented that numerous deaths and violent acts are done in the walls of the asylum. There is also a case wherein a nurse went missing and was found after two months in an old staircase.
3-Poveglia Asylum
The tiny island of Poveglia is known for terror events that took place in it. The island became a dumping ground for ill people as Italy have been plagued by a certain kind of disease. It is recorded that dead bodies and even living people who showed symptoms have been buried and burned to death. The asylum in the island also didn't escape the vicious activities of a mad doctor who killed hundreds of patients with his experiments and ended his life afterwards.
4-Manteno Mental Hospital
Paranormal groups have been checking out this creepy abandoned hospital and reported their scary experiences like crying and screaming voices. It is expected that you will become scared when you hear about the infamous treatments like lobotomies, fever cabinets and other horrible acts of therapies. Although with only a few staff, this hospital catered to 8,000 mentally ill patients which resulted into numbers of deaths.
5-Fuller State School and Hospital
This institution serviced the mentally disabled children and adults in Massachusetts. It gained attention when it is discovered that the patients have been abused and ignored by the attending staffs. Workers in the hospital have been reported for beating the children and leaving them without clothes and food. It is also noted that the place is unsanitary with feces and urine all over the grounds.
6-Topeka State hospital
Built 1872 in Kansas to care for the mentally deranged but opposite activities happened as it is tracked that the patients endured cruel acts like rape and torture treatments. Neglected without any activities to do, some patients have stayed in the establishment nude for months. There are also cases in which the patients have been strapped down too long that the skin grew through the straps holding him. They also practiced castrations among the patients and electric shock therapies.
7-Northampton State Hospital
Opened in 1856 in Massachusetts, the insane asylum was known for more than 12,000 patients that have been buried in the vicinity of the hospital cemetery. With numerous deaths from overcrowding and neglect from the hospital staff, paranormal groups or people visiting the asylum mostly hear noises like whispers.
8-Hellingly Asylum
With its name alone, you will depict some creepy thoughts instantly. It is once a popular institution for the insane as the building is carefully designed but then it becomes overcrowded as they admitted more than 1,200 patients. Torn by abandonment, eerie ambiance surrounds the asylum as people told creepy experiences about the hospital.
9-Athens Lunatic Asylum
It became popular when a body of a female patient lied lifelessly in a room where it is locked from the inside, since then it made into the lists of scariest places on earth.
10-ByBerry Mental Hospital
In 1907, they first opened the institution for the mentally sick patients which hoped to be cured but turned out to be ignored and beaten by the personnel in the hospital. Cruel treatments also injured the starved patients like lobotomies and electric shock.

China Concerto
Q&A with Director Bo Wang
Before February 2012, when his name exploded onto the front pages of newspapers around the globe, most people outside of China had never heard of Bo Xilai, the now-fallen Communist Party Secretary of the megacity of Chongqing. But in the years leading up to the murder trial that brought him (and his wife, Gu Kailai) to the world's attention, Bo, a veteran of Chinese high politics, had already become a figure of national notoriety for an anti-corruption campaign, which he adorned with a flamboyant city-wide revival of revolutionary songs.
China Concerto, which director Bo Wang (a Chongqing native) calls "a film about spectacles," was shot in 2010 and 2011 during the peak of Bo Xilai's so-called "Red Campaign." The film takes the viewer into Chongqing's streets to witness a selection of public spectacles, seemingly unrelated to the political climate of the red campaign, and manages, with only the slightest allusion to the politician leading the city, to take the rising temperature of the city that would soon be consumed by scandal.
Following is a transcript of ChinaFile's interview with Wang:
My name is Bo Wang, I am the director of the film China Concerto. China Concerto is an essay film about spectacles and performances in today's China. The movie was shot in 2010 and 2011 mostly in Chongqing, which is one of the biggest cities in China. And by that time it happened to be the peak time of Bo Xilai's "red campaign." As you know, Bo Xilai is the Party Secretary of Chongqing who had this huge scandal last February when his police director ran into the American Consulate asking for asylum.
The term "spectacle" is borrowed from the French philosopher Guy Debord and his book The Society of the Spectacle. Basically, Guy Debord describes spectacles as the social relationship between people and images and how, in his terms, modern life has been alienated from reality—it's been mediated by all the consumption of images. So, I'm very fascinated by the same situation in China right now. It's like you can see lots of political propaganda everywhere, and also see the ways of consumption everywhere. China now is [a] mixture of different types of consumption of images, either it's political or it's commercial—it's just mixed together.
So, in Chongqing and in many cities in China there is a huge tradition of public dancing in the evening, in lots of public squares or parks. It's always very fascinating to see how hundreds of people can synchronize with one another without any leader to this kind of corny, cheesy music. I spent lots of time filming this kind of public dancing. I found this kind of model behavior is a good model to understand how social regulation in China works. In a way, let's take public dancing as an example: I think it would be too naive to believe that everyone who joins the public performances appreciates the lyrics of these songs. If you interview people, if you ask them, many of them will say, "Oh, this song is too bad, it's too cheesy," but, for whatever reason they just joined the performances in a connective way. I think that's also how propaganda and social regulation works in China right now. It's just that they are not manifested through making people believe, but through the way, how they can shape people's behavior. You don't have to believe.
I think it started from the year 2007 or 2008. There was an annual celebration on Christmas Eve. Hundreds of people would gather in this district and punch each other with inflated hammers or bats, which was crazy and fascinating. During this time in 2010, when Bo Xilai's political campaign was in its peak time, from my understanding, the police department had become so powerful and had, in a way, the strong desire, to control everything. So, of course, this kind of crazy ceremony has become part of their subject. It's kind of weird. I don't think there's any real reason to bring up so many policemen in this situation, but that's what they did.
During the Cultural Revolution time, Chongqing had the most fierce physical struggles in China—people literally used tanks and warships to fight each other. Officially, more than 1,000 people were killed. So, most of them were buried in a small corner of Shapingba Park. So, I decided to make a trip to this park to see what the cemetery looks like. What's really fascinating is that there's a huge contrast in this park. You can see fake Statue of Liberty and fake Mount Rushmore and people doing all kind of entertaining stuff in this environment. And at the same time in this same park, in a hidden corner, you see this cemetery for Red Guards, where you see a sign for "No Videotaping" outside the cemetery. The whole yard is locked. I find it so fascinating that it can be a good metaphor or example of showing how the country's history is constructed, where certain things were brought in and certain things were intentionally ignored.

High recidivism at V.C. jail: A sign of inadequate follow-up treatment
Re: your Oct. 11 article, "Recidivism high among mentally ill inmates," your Oct. 30 article, "Lack of funding threatens program aiding mentally ill, disabled," and Nov. 3 article, "Panel ponders changes to inmates' mental health care":
The recent series of articles by Star reporter Kathleen Wilson on the tragically high rate of recidivism among mentally ill inmates at the Ventura County Jail was informative. Their reoffenses are, in large measure, a result of inadequate follow-up mental-health treatment in the community. Lack of continuity and consistency of treatment between the county's sheriff's, probation and Behavioral Health departments has been a major impediment to reducing the revolving door of mentally ill offenders from jail to community and back to prison. The mentally ill, their families and the citizens of our county are stuck with a problem that is a heavy financial and quality-of-life burden for all.
The recommendations of the county Grand Jury, the county Mental Health Board and the California Standards Authority to reduce the numbers of incarcerated mentally ill and institute reforms in this county in a manner that is both cost-effective and humane have been frustrated by failures of the system of care.
Despite dedicated therapeutic efforts of clinicians such as John Shipper, Ph.D., who oversees the outpatient program for the Ventura County Behavioral Health Department, a Sophie's choice conundrum confronts our understaffed behavioral healthcare system that must decide whether to treat individuals with serious mental disorders — such as schizophrenia and mood disorders — or those with personality disorders.
In wrestling with this dilemma, we are concerned about four points that were raised in the trio of articles that appeared in The Star.
Inappropriate exclusion
First, we agree with Ratan Bhavnani, executive director of the Ventura County Chapter of the National Alliance of Mental Illness, that the wholesale exclusion of all inmates with personality disorders from the Multi-Agency Referral and Recovery Team forensic mental-health program is inappropriate. Throughout the articles, the diagnosis of "personality disorders" appears to lump together all categories of personality disorders, but actually refers to antisocial personality disorder, which is, indeed, refractory to currently available treatments.
However, there are large numbers of offenders who suffer from major mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, who also have shown signs of a personality disorder. These individuals can benefit from appropriate treatment and supervision in the community, thereby reducing human and financial costs of homelessness and the revolving door of repeated hospitalizations or incarceration.
Personality disorders treatable
Our second point is that some personality disorders are eminently treatable. For example, proven treatments exist for borderline personality disorder, which was also mentioned in Ms. Wilson's articles. This disorder is characterized by mood instability, impulsiveness, anger and low frustration tolerance, recurrent suicidal and self-mutilating behaviors that plague emergency rooms and verbal and physical assaults.
Despite its severity, borderline personality disorder is responsive to several evidence-based treatments when provided by qualified mental-health professionals who adhere to proven treatment protocols. If effectively treated, a large proportion of these individuals could recover.
Cost reductions would be seen not only in our jails, but by other county services, including law enforcement, fire department paramedics, emergency rooms, mental-health crisis teams, the Ventura County Health and Behavioral Health hospitals and outpatient treatment programs.
We have treated people with borderline cases and observed that many of them have 10 to 20 instances of emergency care, hospitalizations or incarceration services per year. Using one form of evidence-based treatment — cognitive-behavior therapy — resulted in a dramatic reduction in the frequency and intensity of events requiring public services and conservatively estimated cost savings of more than $100,000 per patient across all services.
It is unfortunate that the majority of clinicians of the Behavioral Health Department who were trained in the late 1990s at great cost to the county by the developers of this effective treatment program are no longer with the Ventura County programs.
Key administrative prerequisites for sustaining effective treatments were left out of the training program; they are involvement of agency leadership whose responsibilities include promoting adoption and implementation of effective treatments, as well as ongoing quality assurance. We hope that the new departmental leadership will address this.
Families not to blame
Our third point concerns the inappropriate laying on the doorstep of families as being responsible for the development of antisocial personality disorder. To the contrary, there is considerable neuroscience evidence of abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex of antisocial persons and criminals. This evidence implicates genetic and neurodevelopmental influences as well as brain injury among the causes of antisocial behavior and criminality.
Let's not turn the calendar back 60 years in stigmatizing and blaming parents as the root cause for all mental disorders.
Hospital closure fallout
Fourth, while not mentioned in the articles, it should be remembered that decisions made by the state of California, with the collusion of county mental-health programs, led to the unfortunate closing of Camarillo State Hospital where many of the people now crowding county jails and state prisons were effectively treated. Mental-health administrators promised that the cost savings from the closing of the state hospital would follow the patients into the community and result in better care. They were grievously wrong.
The largest psychiatric institution in the nation is now the Los Angeles County Jail, which, together with the state Department of Corrections, is under a mandate by the U.S. Department of Justice to spend billions of dollars to improve their mental-health services.
It's time to call for an accounting of the patient-care dollars lost by counties. Those funds could be regained and directed to staff training in effective treatments and expanding programs connecting public safety and behavioral-health services with adequate quality-assurance oversight.

Suburban Scum - Hollow Bones
"I've done it once again. Sunk down to my lowest depths. I try and push on, easier said than done. Black clouds surround me, stuck in a world with no setting sun. Buried alive I try and free my mind. Nothing will ever change. I can't learn from my past mistakes and I'm the only one to blame. I drag these hollow bones down these roads I know so well. Depressions setting in on me and not a soul in this world can help. Is there something wrong with me? Inner peace is all I seek but these blind eyes can't see. I stand alone and cold with my heart at my feet and I pray to the lord for my soul to keep because I'd rather fucking die"

UK Launches Safety Review of North Sea Helicopter Operations
While the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch is still probing the Eurocopter Super Puma fatal accident that killed four in August, the country's CAA, its Norwegian counterpart and the European Aviation Safety Agency have launched a wider safety review of North Sea helicopter operations. Given that causal factors in recent accidents involved pilot performance and rotor and transmission failures, "an urgent review of the overall safety performance levels that currently exist in the North Sea operational context is required," the CAA stated.
The three authorities plan to study the operators' decision-making process and internal management practices, as well as the protection of occupants, and pilot training and performance. The officials also will scrutinize helicopter airworthiness, including current design requirements. The suitability of helideck monitoring systems will be considered, too.
The review will tap industry experts in addition to staff from the three authorities. The evaluation will include a study comparing operations in the UK sector of the North Sea with those in Norway, which is believed to have had a better safety record over recent years.
The CAA plans to publish a final report early next year.

Tennesseans pushing back against AZ
Hey folks - this is an impromptu photo shoot to get as many pictures as possible of people holding a sign saying "do I look illegal?" to send to AZ's governor Jan Brewer. -- More from Hispanic Nashville.
And what do they do when other Tennesseans push back against them, I wonder?
The beauty of free speech is it works both ways.
I think people are getting far too worked up over this new law. I guarantee you most of the people shouting about it have not.

Wonder if Ted Thompson will keep him around at this point. It's such a shame.

Just found out about this kickstarter project http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/449163977/g… Seems promising, very cool for stop motion timelapse. They mention it being good for 360 degree spherical photography, but as the control is through the base of the phone connecting to the device, that puts the lens out to one side, not rotating though its entrance pupil. Also, the camera in the iphone is really just a toy. I very much like the concept of using a phone to control a panoramic robot, it would be super nice if the Gigapan unit could be controlled via wifi or usb from another device. What does the future hold?

We are playing the Hornets tonight at 6:00 MST, so I thought that I'd just touch up on some things that I've noticed statistically about the
Charlotte New Orleans Hornets. I'll use stats from 82games.com and basketball-reference.com
I'll start off not with Chris Paul, but with Emeka Okafor. Emeka was traded to NOLA during the off-season for Tyson Chandler to give the Hornets an anchor at center. The most basic stats show that he has taken a dip in his points per game average from 13.2 last year to 10.2 this year. Actually, as a matter of fact, his stats in all of the catagories, including FG% and FT%, besides blocked shots have decreased. Some of that may be attributed to a small dip in minutes, but 2.5 less minutes per game shouldn't lead to such a dramatic downfall. His Win Shares rating, which estimates the number of wins contributed by a player, has fallen from a strong 8.2 to a pedestrian 1.8. Even if you do win shares per game, he still has fallen, from 0.1 to 0.075.
The on-court off-court information on 82games.com provides some interesting information. Okafor was brought to the Hornets to solidify their defense and provide a bit of post scoring, two things that they lacked with some team from Denver creamed them last year in the first round. However, the Hornets are +4.3 offensive rating better with him on the court, but -3.2 defensive rating worse. The only benefit he's given them so far is in terms of rebounding and blocked shots, which isn't bad, but I'm sure they expected more.
Next, I'm going to look at David West. West has taken a dramatic downfall from last year, when he was wrongly put into the All-Star game ahead of Carmelo Anthony. He's now averaging a pedestrian 16 points and 7 boards on 46% FG while contributing pretty much nothing in all the other categories. His 82games stats tell a similar story. The team is a tad better offensively (+3.2) but much, much worse defensively (-6.7), a testimony to West's defensive capabilities. His turnover rate and foul rate are at the same as last year, but he'll definitely be a non-factor tonight when you factor in Kenyon Martin's defense.
The X-factors for the Hornets that they didn't have last year are Marcus Thornton and Darren Collison. Collison's stats are remarkably similar to the ones Lawson has put up so far this season, while Thornton has filled the gap that Rasual Butler left (at least offensively). Collison played well in CP3's absence, but has since become just another bench guy. Thornton has gotten around 20 minutes per game since CP3's return, but he's incredibly inconsistent. Some nights, he might catch on fire (20 points in 24 minutes against the Wolves) or really suck (2 points on 1-6 FG in 16 minutes against the Pistons). I guess Peja Stojakovic could be an X-factor, but he's roughly the same player as last year. James Posey has fallen dramatically since his Denver days, or even his Boston/Miami days.
Until I looked it up, I didn't realize that Devin Brown was still in the NBA. But evidently he's starting for the Hornets, and while he can't really do anything except hit threes and play matador defense, he still should be watched out for.
As for CP3, we all know the player he is. No matter how you look at it, he's by far the best player on his team. If Afflalo starts, we might see Afflalo on Paul and Carter on Devin Brown (who's like 6'4"). However, if JR Smith starts, which he might, it will be Carter on Paul and Smith on Brown.
This could be a trap game. I'm sure some Hornets are still ticked off at their 58 point loss against some team from Denver. Luckily, this thing is still their mascot:

A federal grand jury is in place in the case against the nutritional supplement maker with ties to Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell.
The FBI is investigating Star Scientific and McDonnell's relationship with the company's chief executive.
The Washington Post is reporting that republican delegate David Ramadan of Loudoun County has been subpoenaed to testify.
At the center of the case is a 15-thousand dollar wedding gift to McDonnell's daughter and whether the governor may have promoted the company's product in exchange for the gift.

Did you hear the one about the woman rabbi at the Kotel?
The uproar has been vocal, but on a low burner. But today, everything changed. One of the ten women arrested this morning and later released for brazenly doing what they can do anywhere else in the free world – pray in public as they are accustomed to – was Rabbi Susan Silverman and her 17-year-old daughter Hallel.
Silverman, who lives in Jerusalem, happens to be the sister of outspoken American comedienne Sarah Silverman. So by mid-day, stories were going out on the wire services to outlets around the world with the headline: "Sarah Silverman's sister arrested for praying at the Western Wall."
It's a headline too juicy for anyone to pass up, and thanks to the substantial coverage the story will undoubtedly receive, it could be a turning point in the effort begun 24 years ago by Women at the Wall in their monthly service to stake their claim to pray as they wish at the Kotel, Judaism's holiest site.
According to Rabbi of the Western Wall Shmuel Rabinovich, a council led by the chief rabbi of Israel determined the customs of the site in 1967 when the Western Wall came under Israeli sovereignty. The Supreme Court ruled in 2003 that worshippers must "uphold the customs" of the holy site, though there is nothing written in the court decision about specific types of tallit.
The situation is getting absurd however. As a friend of mine observed – 'A woman rabbi and her 17-year-old daughter were arrested today for praying at the Western Wall. You can't make this stuff up.'
Unfortunately, it's true. But maybe with the international publicity that Silverman's arrest will bring to the cause, the reality on the ground will begin to change.

[...] Hebrew month) for praying and wearing men's tallitot (prayer shawls) is old news by now. David wrote about the latest round-up on Monday, and the Israeli and Jewish press has gobbled it up as the [...]
So, if the women wore a tallit that is specifically for women, would that be OK and they wouldn't be arrested?
We are still living in a male dominated society, expecially in Israel. Since 50% of Israeli's population are women, doesn't it stand to reason that women have an equal voice in prayer, as well as other parts of society?
