Photo Credit: MTV
If there's any truth to the idea of five stages of grief, then Shain Gandee's friends have hit the second one -- anger. One week after Buckwild's breakout star died from carbon monoxide poisoning while mudding, MTV cancelled the show -- and producer J.P. Williams and several of Gandee's castmates are livid about it. Williams immediately vented his frustration to The Hollywood Reporter, questioning MTV's support of Teen Mom 2 and not Buckwild.
On Wednesday, Gandee's cast mate Shae Bradley reiterated Williams' point on Twitter:
@mtv can have shows about horrible parents and horrible influences and were just good people having good hearted fun and Shain was the best— Shae Bradley (@mtvshae) April 10, 2013
Unfortunately, many of those alleged "horrible parents" from Teen Mom 2 are also on Twitter, and a couple of them felt the need to defend themselves, and then some:
I'm sad that Buckwild was cancelled but no reason to slam other shows on the Network. It's not our fault.— Kailyn Lowry (@KailLowry) April 10, 2013
@mtvshae @mtv wow I can't believe u just called all of the Teen Moms out like that. How rude, no matter what "show" u r on we r a family.— Jenelle Evans (@PBandJenelley_1) April 10, 2013
Evans must have felt particularly sensitive about the disparaging remarks, since they probably targeted her: Because of her drug use, brushes with the law and generally erratic behavior, she's had to give up custody of her son to her mother. But Evans was quick to point out that Buckwild cast members aren't without their own personal demons. Salwa Amin has been dealing with drug-related legal troubles as recently as last week.
"Sorry if u guys like to party and traffic drugs and have yr cast members locked up," tweeted Evans. "MTV doesn't like that too much..." Of course, she could have just tweeted this clip of the Simpsons bully laughing -- it makes her point much faster.
The truth is, the Teen Mom 2 cast really has gotten the last laugh. It's well-known that MTV pays its reality stars next to nothing (by TV salary standards) for the first season, and then rewards them handsomely in the second, after the show takes off. The Teen Mom 2 cast has benefitted from this formula, while the Buckwild cast lost their jobs right before their Season 2 cash-in.
"Gandee and seven fellow cast members renegotiated their contracts to score a 300 percent raise," wrote Lacey Rose of The Hollywood Reporter. "Each went from $1,000 an episode in Season 1 to $4,000 an episode in Season 2, plus a $5,000 bonus, according to multiple sources."
But even before Gandee's death, MTV was fending off controversy over what many perceived as the show's main message: "We're proud to be hicks down here in West Virginia!" The town's mayor, Danny Jones, has long been calling for its cancellation, and in the wake of Gandee's death, he did so again. "The show only enhanced the negative stereotype the Kanawha Valley already has," Jones said. And MTV execs were probably concerned about the show's continued popularity without Gandee; he was sort of The Situation of this situation. As the network said in a statement, "Given Shain's tragic passing and essential presence on the show, we felt it was not appropriate to continue without him."
They have, however, dedicated the special Buckwild: WV to the NYC (MTV, Sunday, 8 p.m. ET) as a tribute to Gandee. The special, which was shot after Season 1, documents the cast's first trip to New York City. Hopefully it will give Gandee's friends and fans a sense of closure.

I am still having a lot of discomfort after a breast reduction. Is this ok?
I had a breast reduction on Aug. 13th and I am still having a lot of discomfort. The left breast seems to be healing very quickly and the right seems very stretched, tight and is still draining slightly under the breast. I am having a hard time getting some answers because my doctor is away and I am hoping you can advise if this is normal. I am 65 but in very good health. The surgeon used dissolving stitches. Thank you.
Everyone has a different tolerance for pain. However pain and a draining surgical wound can be a sign of infection. Even though your surgeon is away another surgeon should be covering their practice. You may want to consider seeking medical/ surgical attention soon.

Here, you'll find the favorite regional beer as well as everything indicative of the area, such as steamers (medium-sized clams in the shell), whole-belly Ipswich clams, lobster rolls, and some of the finest New England chowder you can find this far south.

Bob Ballard
Self-Portrait, Oil (2005)
Bob Ballard (BA., Dip.Ed.) was born in London in 1944 and until recently was a senior lecturer at the University of the West of England. He is presently senior tutor and research associate for COREOX, University of Oxford and is also an executive member on the councils for the Society of Graphic Fine Art (SGFA) and the Bath Society of Artists (BSA). He lives in Bristol, UK.
He has been a full time artist since 1989 when he won a Goldsmiths Travel Bursary (drawing and studying Romanesque art in Spain) and has received many prizes thereafter including the Bruckhaus Derringer Award (Royal Watercolour Society). His work encompasses abstract and representative styles in a wide range of media such as sculpture, print, oil, watercolour and pastels.
" In my work I always try to place the unknown next to the known. Defamiliarisation is essence of art. The closer you look at it the greater the distance from which it stares back at you."

I preach and lead adventure-based discipleship ministries as the Teaching Pastor at Meadow Springs Community Church in Portland, Oregon. I have been teaching at Multnomah Biblical Seminary for over 12 years, and have been pastoring for over 20 years.
Evidence of a passion for communication goes all the way back to middle-school speech classes for me. Still searching for direction after high school, I joined the U.S. Army for four years. God used that time to set the course for my life and ministry. Following the Army, I attended Philadelphia Biblical University and then Multnomah Biblical Seminary, where I received the John G. Mitchell Award and my M.Div. degree. An increasing realization of my love for teaching and preaching God's Word led me to pursue studies under Dr. Haddon Robinson at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where I was awarded the D.Min. degree in 1999.
The dual role of pastor and professor are a perfect fit for me. My fervent desire is to help people experience fresh encounters with God through His Word. I believe that the opportunity to pass on the skills and passion for dynamic biblical communication is a fulfillment of my personal calling. In addition to a passion for preaching, I use my love for the outdoors to lead people into new experiences with God.
With my wife and five children, I enjoy mountain climbing, hiking, motorcycling, and other outdoor pursuits.

About 70 people, mostly seniors, took to Jackson Heights Monday night to urge Congressman Joe Crowley (D-Queens, Bronx) to vote no on potentially bombing Syria for the government's alleged use of toxic gas on its citizens.
"We have to take a different stance from Obama," said Lebanese-Armenian Maria Bakhchyan at the hour-long candlelight vigil. "We're tired of America going into all the Middle Eastern countries. It's going to make things worse."
"I am opposed to military intervention in Syria because killing more Syrians is not the answer to those Syrians who have already been killed," said local organizer Judith Natkins.
A spokesman for Crowley said the Congressman is appreciative of New Yorkers' engagement, but was attending a classified briefing on the Syria situation during the vigil.
Crowley supports a diplomatic solution to stopping chemical warfare.
The vigil came a day before President Obama addressed the nation on Syria. He asked Congress to delay a vote, which most analysts believed would be against a military strike.
He cited a possible agreement with Russia, a longtime ally of Syria, to work with international monitors to destroy chemical weapons. Working with Russia has stirred doubt among lawmakers, however.
Obama previously called for action, saying Syria violated international law by using chemicals that killed children and adults and therefore threatened U.S. security.
The event was part of a national day of action being organized by the progressive organizations MoveOn.org, Civic Action, CREDO Action, Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Win Without War. Similar vigils took place in nearly 100 cities across the country on Monday.

Another special item in this shop is flower vases with a twisted, unbalanced shape. Some of them are coored in light blue, some in pure white. Accrding to the shop assistant, those vases match well with dried flower bouquets. They cost less than RMB 100 each.

For all his average-lug normality, Garth Brooks does demented like nobody else in country or pop. Every so often in concert and interviews, his eyes bug out and the hammy megalomaniac within emerges. Lately, that tendency has all but subsumed his music: Brooks has become less concerned with stellar songs (see Sevens) and more with gimmicks, like packaging last year's negligible live album in different covers.
Even in the context of this anything-for-a-headline MO, Brooks' latest conceit is a genuine head turner. On Garth Brooks In...The Life of Chris Gaines, he's shed a few pounds, stuck a black wig atop his head, and assumed the persona of a fictitious rock star, ''Chris Gaines.'' The album is billed as a ''pre-soundtrack'' for The Lamb, a feature film starring Brooks as Gaines. The flick which has yet to be made will supposedly chronicle the life of a pop star who's scarred in a car crash and makes a triumphant comeback. (It's Behind the Music: The Movie.) Brooks has clearly given much thought to the album, which presents itself as Gaines' ''greatest hits,'' with a bio (he's the son of an Aussie Olympic swimmer), reproductions of record covers, and liner notes that inform us that one track was used in a pseudo-Armageddon movie called Revelations. And you think Busta Rhymes is loony?
In short, Chris Gaines prepares us for a truly alternative Brooks. Gaines, we're told, was a huge star in the late '80s and '90s. And sure enough, Brooks resembles an aging Goo Goo Doll, while the vintage Gaines ''album jackets,'' with their lascivious semi-nude babes, look like outtakes of Scorpions covers. So, we're led to expect anything from hair metal to imitation grunge.
Instead, Chris Gaines is faded musical wallpaper: mewly, faux-Babyface-unplugged weepers (''Lost in You,'' ''That's the Way I Remember It'') and timid, rinky-dink attempts at blues rock (''White Flag,'' ''Snow in July''). Ballads like ''It Don't Matter to the Sun'' are standard Brooks fare, albeit without fiddles and steel guitars. Even the bombastic ''Right Now'' which cobbles together the what's-wrong-with-the-world sentiments of Cheryl Wheeler's ''If It Were Up to Me'' with the '60s anthem ''Get Together'' is hardly a radical departure for Brooks, whose records have often been as glossy as middle-of-the-road pop.
The most obvious change is heard in Brooks' voice. He slips into a sleek falsetto croon here, throatier rock balladeering there, even R&B boy-band harmonies. His singing in each area is proficient, yet has less character than his regular delivery. And would the hard-rockin', hard-livin', hard-mascara-wearin' Gaines actually gulp through a ''Footloose''-style bouncer like ''Digging for Gold''? The music is far too polite and not nearly as fun or raunchy as it's meant to be. Granted, few acts would risk alienating their audience this way, and the album bypasses the predictability of, say, the career of George Strait. But the gimmick feels as cowardly as it does brave, for it allows Brooks to attempt a pop crossover it's his Shania Twain move without truly committing to it.
Much like the music on it, Chris Gaines is more interesting for what it represents than what it is. From Twain to Faith Hill's appearance on VH1's second Divas concert, the new country doesn't simply want to cross over into mainstream pop; it is pop. While traditionalists remain, the true malling of the Nashville sound has begun, and the movement threatens to strip country of whatever individuality it once had. As for Brooks, perhaps he should have ditched ''Chris Gaines'' in favor of a more appropriate trendy rock moniker: Wimp Bizkit.

Girls Less Likely Than Boys to Be on Kidney Transplant List
Reasons for the gap aren't clear, but speeding time to transplant is crucial, researchers say
TUESDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Girls are much less likely than boys to be placed on a kidney transplant waiting list, a new study finds.
Researchers analyzed data from almost 4,500 dialysis patients younger than 21 years of age at 150 kidney treatment centers in Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States. The results showed that girls were 22 percent less likely than boys to be placed on a waiting list for a new kidney.
There were no obvious reasons, such as medical factors or family preference, to account for this gender difference, said the researchers at the University of California Davis School of Medicine.
They also found that girls were less likely to have pre-emptive kidney transplants and less likely to have a living-related donor.
The study was published online April 20 in the journal Pediatric Transplantation.
The sooner a young person with advanced chronic kidney disease receives a new kidney, the better their long-term health and the longer the life of the kidney, experts said.
"If the goal is to get them transplanted as soon as possible, then they need to be wait-listed as soon as possible," study lead author Stephanie Nguyen, assistant professor of pediatric nephrology, said in a UC Davis news release. "The longer they're waiting for a transplant, the worse their outcomes will be."
Another expert at UC Davis agreed. "Children who face kidney transplant fare best when they receive the organ without undergoing dialysis," explained Dr. Lavjay Butani, professor of pediatric nephrology in the UC Davis School of Medicine and chief of pediatric nephrology. Butani, who has conducted his own study into the issue, noted that, "the longer the dialysis prior to the operation, the worse is the survival of the kidneys."
He said the new study "poses important questions that need to be addressed, to better explore and understand the reasons behind this gender difference in access to organ transplant."
According to Nguyen, doctors must be sure to carefully monitor the transplant evaluation process and to ensure that girls are given the same chance as boys to receive a new kidney as soon as possible.

How to get it (your credit score, that is) up
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
A window sticker advertising Visa and MasterCard credit cards hangs in a window in San Francisco, California.
Need some inspiration to get your credit score up a little higher? One word: perks. Banks are aggressively marketing to those with excellent credit offering enticements like few or no fees, 0% interest on new purchases for one year on balance transfers, even free companion tickets on flights (if you are lucky enough to have Citi's ThankYou Prestige card). On the other end of the spectrum, Bank of America is sending out notices informing customers who carry a high balance or make late payments that their annual fee is going up to $59.00. A year ago, a customer might not pay a fee at all. The recession has wreaked havoc on the housing market, Wall Street, and most of all American's credit score. What can you do about it? Ask Patt.

Apps Apache vhost
The current apache ispc apps vhost looks like this:
As expected the package was installed as user ispapps in /var/www/apps/phpmyadmin
The problem is that I get a 403 when accessing any php file there.
If i comment out one of the parts in the vhost file (fcgid or modphp) it works like charm but if both sections are in there - 403 all the time.
Is there a bug in the vhost template for the apps?
Which Linux distribution do you use? I dont experience that problem on my debian system.
Ok. I've added it to the bugtracker.
I tested it again on a new debian setup and the apps vhost works for me. Which is the exact error message that you get in the apache error log file for the 403 error?
Just a 403 error in the browser.
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/index.php on this server.
Access log is not enabled, i enabled it for testing in the app vhost but shows only 403 - no more info.
edit: access log entry:
xx.xx.xx.xx - - [22/Jun/2010:19:25:05 +0200] "GET /phpmyadmin/ HTTP/1.1" 403 193 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:22.214.171.124) Gecko/20100501 Iceweasel/3.5.9 (like Firefox/3.5.9)"
edit 2: if i do a "a2dismod fcgid" and restart apache it works again, as soon as i a2enmod fcgid -> same as before: 403 - so if one is disabled either in vhost or in apache modules it works - as soon both are enabled in modules and in vhost - error 403
I got the same problem, regarding my apps. I can access all files except php.
Its a fresh Debian Lenny installation with ISPConfig latest trunk version.

OLIVE, N.Y. -- A kitchen fire damaged a home in Ulster County.
Fire crews were called to a home on Dancing Rock Road in Olive. They say the homeowner was cooking and was the one who called for help.
The fire chief says the home sustained heavy fire damage.
"The house is not livable at this time due to the water and smoke damage. There is pretty heavy damage to the kitchen. It is going to be deemed uninhabitable at this time," said Olive Fire Chief Chris Winne. No one was hurt.

I love brick walls and all these photos are a great examples of how they can add character to the space. I like them painted in white, as well as the 'original' look :) I'll be helping to renovate my friend's restaurant soon and we are deciding right now whether we should paint them in white… inspiring post! I start liking this idea more and more! :)))

we have a brick faced fireplace 70's style downstairs that i plan to whitewash so that it is not as stark as paint. i love the look, but would be hesitant in an old warehouse setting where the brick is 100+ years old and has the beautiful golden hues from that time period. 70's brick is not so chic, so i prefer the white clean look it gives. i think the context of the painted brick has a lot to do with whether it looks appropriate or not and not that it is just a trend. lovely pics.

In a previous home, I painted the bricks around the fireplace in the kitchen white and it completely transformed the room. It gave it a lovely Mediterranean feel, especially in summer.
I didn't have to fret over destroying the original brick as the previous occupant had already beat me to it…by painting them bright pink!

Painting brick walls is perfectly acceptable, the examples you show are lovely! White painted brick allows you to have the beautiful texture and character of brick while brightening up the space! I am seeing a lot of brick and even concrete walls painted but then leaving a portion of the wall, often in the shape of a circle or square, exposed, giving you a glimpse of it's original character.

we have a white painted brick wall in our attic. It came with the place, but I like it. I am so tempted to add a Banksy type graffiti on top – if only i was talented enough. Unfortunately there is no more exposed brick in the place, but I think painting it is fully okay – probably keeps the spiders at bay as well, or easier to spot.

We've moved into an old brick building four years ago and most walls were painted already. The building was previously used as a printworks and some walls were painted white decades ago and had layers of paint splashes on them. Wherever possible we kept that. The only brick wall that has not been painted was in the (now) bathroom wall which originally was the outside wall of the building – now inside, as they've built an extension. It took me three weeks of hard thinking before I could actually paint the wall as there is no way back. I did not regret it. It's beautiful.

In my opinion, it depends how are the bricks; if the bricks are antiques with a beautiful blend of faded colors, the bricks have to stay as they are.
But if the bricks are relatively news and with an uniform color, they have to be painted.
It ´s exactly what we have done; the bricks in our kitchen weren't beautiful, so we painted them in white and the kitchen is now more light.

Great post Holly & so timely!

YES! I love these walls, I admit, it is a really hard to decision to paint brick. I debated painting our fireplace, but since it was behind a big black woodburning stove I opted just to whitewash it.. Which was still a big decision! Here are some pics on my blog if you want to see: http://ninered.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-white-wash-fireplace.html
BUT! If I had a huge wall of brick, I'd definitely go for it because I think the look is great. Now, what do you think of painted stone? Like that 1970's stone… bit tougher there…

Miami Dade College Accelerated Program Fall 2010 - page 5
Does anyone know when MDC starts sending out acceptances for the Accelerated Program for Fall 2010?... Read More
- 0Dec 20, '10 by dea089I'm taking my science prereq's at mdc and only have micro, chem lab and dep2000 left for spring. I've also looked into other schools but it seems mdc has the overall best for me...it seems to be a really good program and the cost is low compared to a lot of other schools. I'm not married and have no kids so I don't have to worry about the commitment as far as family goes. And I do have a 4.0 so from what I've been reading on here I should be ok as long as I keep it and do well on the Teas V exam. It looks like the generic program is only 1 semester longer but I asked an advisor at med campus if summer was also counted as a semester and never got a direct answer. If I do the accelerated starting aug 2011 would I be done aug 2012? And if I did the generic would I be done dec 2012.
I'm so glad I found this site. Thanks for your help!
- 0Dec 20, '10 by swansonplaceIt is so exciting and nerve wracking all in one. I hope to see you on campus. Study well.
Generally, the standard generic and accelerated programs are setup with no breaks.
- 0Dec 20, '10 by swansonplaceIf you get a chance speak to some of the accelerated nursing students. They have a very high success rate. That is relatively speaking not that many quit. It is just all consuming time wise. Heard positive things on the side lines about it. The funny thing is that more generic students quit than accelerated even though it is slower. Go figure.
- 0Dec 20, '10 by dea089More generic students quit? I would think it would be the opposite. I looked at the curriculum for both programs and it looks like the first semester is a double load for the accelerated program (20 credit hrs vs 10) but the next 2 semesters look about the same. I don't know if the website's curriculum is accurate though. There is probably more correct info from the students posting on this site!
- 0Aug 5, '12 by sil2012hello!
I am about to start the accelerated program this fall...I imagine everyone is in the field already. Can you please tell me how you starting to get ready for the first semester?...I am currenly read/wrote notes on half of fundamentas syllabus...and started on the other classes today...just wanted to hear from you what to expect on the first semester (which I am most concerned on- 21 credits).....thank you for your help!!!!
- 0Aug 6, '12 by swansonplaceI am in the generic nursing program. For me, it was important to have my personal life very organized. All time consuming issues or problems handled. Also, my family time was important, so I worked out a method for us to stay in contact, but that still allowed me to concentrate on my school work.
It is my time management skills that make the difference and your stress management techniques and your support system.
I like the reviews and rationales series, and would consider studying them and more importantly taking the tests that they have prior to the classes. You do not have enough time to do all of the reviews and rationales for the first semester, but I would do it for the toughest classes. Not sure for you accelerated but for generic that would have been fundamentals, med surg, and pharm drugs not calculations. I would also consider using the Davis Success study guides for the toughest classes for the fall. I would study the most difficult subjects over the break.
I would also learn how to read volumes of information quickly. That ultimately is the skill that pulls me through besides knowing how to study based on your strengths. Above all else just keep calm and keep moving forward.
Best of Luck.

Can I get some current perspectives on this way of delivering ritalin? I know it was plagued with problems & recalls & hard-to-peel issues for awhile a few years ago. Is this still true? Or have they successfully changed their manufacturing process?
Can you leave the patch on for longer than the 9 hrs? If not, do you have to still do boosts for afternoon/evening homework?
Can you go swimming with the patch on?
I ask because it's spring again, and we all know the dosages'll need to go up again...and, frankly, 40 mg Focalin XR as a morning dose is *already* high. So it makes me wonder if an alternate delivery system would be a good plan, maybe metabolize differently enough that he'd need less med. Though I love Focalin XR, really I do.

No, it doesn't work like that. We have left it on accidently for longer than 9 hours, and during the med trials they had us leave them on for 12-18-24 hours, but it does stop working after 12 hours.

Sigh. School starts at 8 am, so the patch (2 hrs to take effect, right?) would have to go on at 6 am.
Just checked their website & they are saying children 6-12--no adults? My kid is 12, 13 in June, so I suppose this isn't an option then.

This is the fourth and final part of our series on the Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri. Read the first part here, the second part here, and the third part here.
[Warning: this post contains disturbing descriptions of the history of psychiatry, including once-common treatments and discussion of life in an asylum.]
The mentally ill in early America were regarded as sub-human: they were hanged, imprisoned, tortured, chained, caged, or left to wander. The government was more concerned with the person's property than it was with helping the person heal. Even in so late a year as 1830, the mentally ill would be dressed in straitjackets and put in a dark cell. If this did not calm them, they could be subjected to starvation or other forms of torture.
"Out of sight, out of mind" seemed to be the general wisdom.
We like to pretend that what we think of as "history" happened a long time ago. We like to say that treatment of the mentally ill has come a long way and things aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. We have a tendency to forget that many gross injustices crept into the 20th century. We tend to forget that we, or older people we know, were actually alive when awful, inhumane things were happening.
Handmade clubs were used to quiet the patients at St. Joseph State Hospital as recently as 1950.
Read that sentence again and make sure you are exhibiting the proper amount of horror.
Also (and unsurprisingly) during the mid-20th century, patients (when not working or participating in therapy) were expected to sit in rocking chairs that were lined up against the walls and be silent, making no demands on staff. No doubt these "good" patients were able to meet such expectations only because they were drugged into complacency. We still prefer our patients to be drugged to the point that they present no problems, but we have at the very least started arranging the furniture to encourage socialization.
Unfortunately, throughout the majority of history, to have the mentally ill left ignored in a rocking chair would have been kind in comparison to the kind of treatment they were usually subjected to.
Restraint rings set into dungeon walls: this is an image that evokes horror. The person was chained to the ring, or multiple rings, and thus restrained. When we think of such things, we think of the long-dead past. But the restraint ring pictured above came from the basement of the hospital in St. Joseph, Missouri. The hospital opened in 1874. We do not know when the practice was abandoned there. Regardless, it was not so long ago.
"Out of sight, out of mind." What a horrific pun.
But there has always been more than one way to restrain a person. One can imagine that the restraining devices of the 16th and 17th centuries were quite crude, and they were. The museum gave us two examples. In the first, the prisoner (the term "patient" is not even applicable) was put into a straitjacket and bound to the wall, with his feet placed inside a wicker container so he could not kick his "caretakers." In the second example, the person is enclosed in cloth that covers his entire body except for his feet. According to the museum, patients sometimes suffocated in this particular restraint.
The most alarming part of the Glore Psychiatric Museum (and no doubt what attracts a majority of its visitors) is its extensive collection of restraint and treatment devices (both originals and reproductions).
The tranquilizer chair was developed near the end of the 18th century by Benjamin Rush. The patient could be restrained into complete immobility and then subjected to "treatment" such as bloodletting or exposure to extreme heat or cold.
The lunatic box (also known as the English booth, the coffin, or the clock case) was used in the 18th and 19th centuries. The victim was forced to remain standing, eventually in their own excrement. The opening in front of the face could be covered, leaving the person in darkness.
Restraint cages like those pictured above were very common. Why this would be preferable to simple shackling is beyond my contemplation. Perhaps the clear message of "you are no better than an animal" had something to do with their popularity.
Recent methods of restraint are less objectionable, and perhaps easier to stomach when they come in cheerful country kitchen patterns.
The ways in which the mentally ill were "dealt with" are awful enough. Unsurprisingly, methods of "treatment" were no better.
A bath of surprise was a 17th century device in which a patient was dropped suddenly through a trapdoor into a tub of cold water. The violent shock was meant to break the person's chain of delusional ideas.
"Douching" was a common treatment for melancholy, agitation, rage, and other things during the 18th and 19th centuries. The patient was put into ice cold water and would have additional cold water splashed into their face. This was meant to awaken the individual to reality.
The hollow wheel was created by German psychiatrist Johann Reil in the late 18th century. The patient was imprisoned in the wheel and forced to either run forward/backward or remain completely motionless. A person outside of the wheel could also set it in motion, forcing the patient to run. Use of the hollow wheel was abandoned in the early 19th century.
You may look at these archaic instruments and marvel at how our ideas have evolved away from such mercilessness. But each report of patient abuse and every story of the callousness or cruelty of our care providers only highlights the link between our past and present.
The past is not so far away, after all.
Our trip to the Glore Psychiatric Museum was an emotional and emotionally draining experience. It was a lot to take in, and by the end of it (the devices shown above were our last stop) I was lightheaded and ready to faint. We had gone in knowing what to expect, but the experience was nevertheless visceral.
This four-part series took more than six days to compile, and I know it is lacking. I would like to discuss many of these things further, but it will have to wait until a later time. I simply do not have the energy.
If you are interested in psychiatry, or injustice, the Glore Psychiatric Museum is undoubtedly worth a visit. If you happen to find yourself in Missouri, we highly recommend you drop by. At only $5 per person, it's an absolute bargain.

"This was very good. Creamy and cheesy. It will be easy to play around with this recipe. I think it is probably important to grate your own cheese. Many per-shredded brands have additives to prevent bonding that could make this dish "grainy."
This is a keeper."
