House Passes Mental Health Courts Legislation, Next Stop President Clinton's Desk
House passage of S 1865 follows unanimous Senate approval on September 26, and clears the bill to go to the White House where NAMI is hopeful President Clinton will sign it into law. NAMI extends it thanks to key leaders in the House for their work on this important bill: Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde (R-IL), Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bill McCollum (R-FL), Judiciary Ranking Member John Conyers (D-MI) and Crime Subcommittee Ranking Member Bobby Scott (D-VA).
NAMI would also like to congratulate Representative Ted Strickland (D-OH) and Senator Mike DeWine, the lead sponsors of this bill, for their leadership in moving this measure forward toward final passage. Finally, NAMI would also like to recognize the efforts of Representative Strickland and Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM), Edward Kennedy (D-MA), and Representatives Heather Wilson (R-NM), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Steve Horn (R-CA), and Lois Capps (D-CA) for their efforts to push mental health courts as part of their mental illness treatment services enhancement bill (S 2639/HR 5091).
The establishment of mental health courts is one of NAMI's main advocacy strategies to address the stark reality that jails and prisons have become the nation's depository for people with severe mental illnesses. The current rapid downsizing and closure of state psychiatric hospitals without the funding and implementation of evidenced-based community treatment programs has left people with severe mental illnesses with nowhere to turn to access needed treatment and services.
The U.S. Department of Justice reported in 1999 that 16% of all inmates in state and federal jails have a severe mental illness. 283,000 people with serious mental illnesses were in jail or prison - more than four times the number in state mental hospitals. The average daily number of patients in state and county psychiatric hospitals has steadily dropped from 592,853 in 1950 to 71,619 in 1994. It is unconscionable that in an era of unprecedented economic growth and budget surpluses, people with legitimate medical conditions have had their healthcare options cut and removed and are being imprisoned, instead of being provided with access to appropriate treatment and services in the community and, when necessary, hospitalization.
NAMI has been raising the alarm over the unjust imprisonment of people with severe mental illnesses over the last decade. In 1992, NAMI and Public Citizen's Health Research Group released a report, entitled Criminalizing the Seriously Mentally Ill: The Abuse of Jails as Mental Hospitals, which revealed alarmingly high numbers of people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other severe mental illnesses incarcerated in jails across the country. The vast majority of these offenses were relatively minor breaches of the law directly related to the symptoms of untreated mental illness, such as vagrancy, trespassing, disorderly conduct, alcohol-related charges, or failing to pay for a meal. Even though the criminal justice system may recognize this, police and criminal justice systems often lack adequate procedures to divert people with severe mental illnesses into community-based treatment programs. In 1992, less than 5% of the nation's jails had procedures in place to divert petty offenders with severe mental illnesses into community treatment programs. And, most shockingly, because of a lack of availability of community services, 29% of jails reported that they had incarcerated people with severe mental illnesses without filing any criminal charges.
The mental health courts legislation passed today would put the procedures in place to divert non-violent offenders with serious mental illness from jails and place them into appropriate community programs. S 1865 appropriates funds for fiscal years 2000 through 2004 for grants to states and municipalities to establish mental health courts across the nation to hear all cases involving individuals with severe mental illnesses charged with misdemeanors or non-violent felonies with the purpose of diverting as many of these cases as possible away from criminal incarceration into appropriate mental health treatment and services. Grant money would also be used to provide specialized training of law enforcement and judicial personnel to identify and address the unique needs people with serious mental illness that come into contact with the criminal justice system, and for the coordination of all mental health treatment plans and social services, including life skills training, such as housing placement, vocational training, education, job placement, health care, and relapse prevention for each participant who requires such services.
Although conditions in jails may have improved since Dorothea Dix first asked for jail diversion for people with severe mental illness 170 years ago, most jails and prisons still do not provide effective treatment for people with severe mental illnesses. Many correctional facilities do not have qualified mental health professionals on staff to recognize and respond to the needs of inmates experiencing severe psychiatric symptoms. Correctional facilities frequently respond to psychotic inmates by punishing them or placing them in physical restraints or isolation cells, responses that may exacerbate rather than alleviate their symptoms. Inmates with severe mental illnesses usually do not have access to newer, state-of-the-art atypical antipsychotic drugs because of the costs of these medications. Federal and state prisons generally do not have adequate rehabilitative services available for inmates with severe mental illnesses to aid them in their transition back into communities.
The lack of appropriate treatment and services in jails mentioned above often have serious consequences. Suicide is the leading cause of death in our nation's jails and a 1995 study found that 95% of all jail suicides were committed by people with a treatable psychiatric illness. The same study reported that 75% communicate their intent beforehand. Without qualified mental health professionals on staff who can address the inherent risk associated with having a severe mental illness and incarceration, jails and prisons are not only becoming that nation's new mental hospitals, they are tragically putting the lives of people with severe mental illness who are denied access to appropriate treatment at a much greater and unacceptable risk.

Hi --
I ended up planting two mock orange (Philadelphus) shrubs a few years ago, when I really only wanted one. :) I would like to remove one and it's much too large to ship, and I will have to cut it back considerably just to dig it out. Is there anyone "local" to the Rome area that is interested and wants to trade something for it? |

100 Colorado Creatives: Sculptor and Westword Artopia participant Jeff Erwine
#91: Jeff Erwine"Guardrail Angel," Jeff Erwine.
From massive outdoor sculptures made from wood and junked cars to iron-and-marble furniture, Jeff Erwine's aesthetic is a direct result of his chosen medium. The sculptor and metal worker is inherently "green" in his process -- constructing his pieces utilizing 95 percent rescued materials -- and Erwine's work often carries the identity of its previous life.
One of Westword's 100 Colorado Creatives and a participant in Artopia 2013 this Saturday, February 23, Erwine recently shared his ideas about the art world and who inspires him.

- Event: Artopia 2013
- 100 Colorado Creatives: artist and Westword Artopia star Valerie Savarie
- Brittany Gould talks about her piece for Design After Dark, "Dreaming in Another Language"
Westword: What are you most excited about presenting at this year's Artopia?
Jeff Erwine: A new piece called "Tobu." Tobu is Japanese for "to fly" or "to soar." The frame is made from an old trampoline I had as a child that I used to jump on and dream of flying.
Are you working on any project/collaboration coming up that you're looking forward to sharing with the community?
Yes! I am in the process of developing "flash" sculptures in and around Denver and throughout Colorado. Shhh...
If you could collaborate with anyone in history, who would it be, and why?
I would want to collaborate with Frank Lloyd Wright. I have always been inspired by his work, and it is reflected in many pieces I create today.
Who in the world is interesting to you right now, and why?
Chris Hardwick. He has gone from a stand-up comedian to building a multi-media empire encompassing all forms of art. And he's pretty damn funny.
What's one art trend you want to see die this year?
I'm not a big fan of "put a bird on it."
"Nuts," Jeff Erwine.

"I'm completely enjoying the training at Kirkland Krav Maga. I've seen a huge increase in my stamina and overall fitness since starting there about 3 months ago. I really appreciate the details that are taught and the drills every class really help get the practical self defense application I have been looking for. There are martial arts and self defense programs all over town but this program is different. I really had to experience it first hand to understand what it was all about. Now I tell everyone I know about what a great workout and exciting skill set I am developing. The instruction is of the highest caliber and they are always willing to take the time to go over anything that the class is having trouble with. Every class I feel more and more confident with protecting myself and my family. This is truly a huge part of my overall healthy living plan and something I look forward to every week. When I travel out of town, I always am excited to get back into class and learn more. It's a perfect balance of conditioning, skills training and modern, effective self defense for anyone looking to learn quick and see results fast." - Joel F.
"I can't get enough of the classes at Kirkland Krav Maga! From the first day I have lost over 40 pounds and gotten back into the physical shape I was at nearly 10 years ago. The more I train, the stronger I feel and each week I am able to push myself harder and harder. I remember that in the first session I attended, I could barely complete 10 pushups. My core and upper body strength were miserable. Within the first month and a half I managed to get all the way up to a set of 50 without even pausing and I am toning up every muscle group. Originally, I thought it would be something fun to try out for a few weeks and learn something about self defense. Right away I was hooked. I have always lacked confidence especially during any kind of confrontation. I have never seen a workout quite like Krav Maga. It is so different than anything else I've tried in the past. Great workout for the body, huge boost for mental toughness and it's so enjoyable to train with such a great group of people and fun, friendly instructors that know what they are talking about. I plan on continuing on with the program and it has become one of my favorite activities outside of family time." - Susan

I studied Aromatherapy with Robert Tisserand at the Tisserand Institute and qualified in 1990 with a diploma in Holistic Aromatherapy. As well as seeing private clients I worked for 8 years as an aromatherapist at PALACE, a centre for children with disabilities in London. I also worked at a centre for women recovering from alcohol dependence. I continued working as part of a team with families of children with life-threatening illnesses at Ronald McDonald House in California. Throughout this time I gave talks and ran workshops. Reflexology was a natural step in expanding my interest in complementary therapies and I studied with David Wayte at Jubilee College, qualifying in 2010 with a Practitioner's Diploma in Reflexology. I continue to learn new techniques and skills within this field.
Personal Comment
My interest in the human body began whilst studying for my degree in Fine Art at the Royal Academy Schools.I was always drawn to anatomy and life drawing and this led to an increasing interest in the physiology of the body. An interest in herbal medicine and eastern modalities grew steadily along side this and eventually led to the study of aromatherapy and reflexology.I have found Reflexology can be a gentle, but powerful tool to help the body heal itself on a physical, mental and emotional level.

At least 96 soldiers were killed and 300 others injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up during a rehearsal Monday for a military parade in Yemen's capital city, Al Arabiya news agency reported.
BBC, quoting officials, put the number of casualties at 63. However, it said unconfirmed reports placed the toll at 96.
The bomber was dressed in a military uniform and detonated his explosives in the middle of the battalion that was rehearsing for an army parade marking the 22nd anniversary of the unification of north and south Yemen, according to RIA Novosti.
The suicide bomber blew himself up among a group of soldiers at al-Sabin Square, near the presidential palace.
Monday's attack was the deadliest attack in the Yemeni capital since President Abd-Rabbuh Mansour Al-Hadi took power in February.
Witnesses said the remains of the victims were scattered across the square, where large military parades are often held. Ambulances rushed to the area to take the dozens of wounded to hospital.

I saw a post here about a turbo pot - they put a heat sink on the bottom of a stainless pot to increase its efficiency. I just got it tonight, and ran it for a test.
I used the people's test for cooktops http://applianceadvisor.com/content/peoples-cooktop-test first, a few days ago, I used a Calphalon Anodized Aluminum pot, filled with 1 gal of water, on my Viking 15,000 btu open burner, and it took 8 minutes and 17 seconds ( 8.28) then today once I got the turbo pot, I repeated the test using the same burner and it took 6 minutes and 37 seconds ( 6.61) In other words, it was a about 20% faster. I will try again this weekend, except I will try to bring it to boil to see if there is even more improvement. The Eneron site claims a 50% reduction in time to boil
Here is a link that might be useful: turbopot
Follow-Up Postings:
Love mine. I meant to time it in a test, but it so obviously heats up faster that it isn't worth the effort. Plus, as you say, it's hard to get the residential version so the sizes are different from the home pots you'd probably compare it to. It's funny the way it's built for function and not form. Not that it's bad looking but you can see the divots from the handle welds on the inside of the pot and lid, so the commercial pots are clearly not designed for retail pimping. At the same time, function gets a lot more thought. The lid handle is hollow and stays much cooler so you can grasp it. And the lid has a kind of cool design that minimizes the amount of condensed hot water that drips down your arm when you lift it--it is designed design to condense water and return it to the pot, but also interrupt the flow of water to the edge when you're opening it. I think it's cool. |

the streets are swimming with the sharks
Sorry if I've been a little MIA this week. B and I are in the process of moving, which always blows, but it's our home, so it's a little exciting, too :-). Soon I'll be posting about such thrilling topics as spackling and interesting color shades of grout. Just kidding. I would never torture you all with such things. However, I am going to be trolling the interwebs for home inspiration and creative ideas - so if you see anything cool, send it my way!
Topshop jacket/cape
H&M dress
vintage locket
Topshop bangles
KMRii bag
Jeffrey Campbell clogs
PS I am so obsessed with this jacket/cape hybrid thing that I busted it out in over 90 degree weather. Whatever.

Visiting CampusClick here for information about visiting campus, including campus tour schedules, campus maps, and directions. Bard Campus ToursProspective students should attend campus tour and information sessions offered through Bard College's Admission Office. Reservations are required. More information can be found here. Conservatory ToursTo arrange for a tour of the Conservatory building and/or meeting, contact Frank Corliss, Conservatory Admissions Director, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (845) 758-7604. We recommend reserving your college tour first before making an appointment to visit the Conservatory. Depending on the exact timing of your visit, we are able to arrange for you to observe rehearsals, chamber music coachings, master classes, and concerts. Conservatory Office locationThe Conservatory Office is located in the Blum Music Building, within the Avery Center for the Arts complex on 59 Blithewood Road. (You can also find us by looking for the Edith C. Blum Institute on this campus map.)
No. A home-quality audio recorder will be sufficient, as will any home-quality digital camcorder for video submissions.
With the obvious exception of works for solo instrument (e.g. Bach Partita, Kopprasch etude), repertoire for the prescreening submission should be accompanied. In addition, appropriate chamber music works may be used as the "work of your choice." Composers should submit recordings of live performances of their works whenever possible, in place of MIDI realizations. Accompanists are provided free of charge at all live auditions, and come from our Postgraduate Collaborative Piano Fellowship program.
Conservatory applicants are eligible for merit-based financial aid. Competitive merit awards--up to and including the full-tuition Distinguished Musician-Scholar Program--are based on the strength of the audition and the applicant's overall musical achievement and promise. We ask all students - even students who are applying only for merit-based aid - to submit the required Financial Aid forms.Conservatory applicants are also considered for additional merit- and need-based aid administered by Bard College. The FAFSA and CSS Profile are used to determine financial need and are required in all cases in which financial aid of any kind is awarded. Click here for additional information. All financial aid is awarded for five years. .
All prescreening materials–recordings, scores, resumes–are due on the application deadline for the program you are applying to.
International students may apply by DVD if travel to the United States for a live audition is not feasible. The live audition repertoire requirements should be used for the audition DVD. Information about English Language proficiency:
A TOEFL score of 100 (iBT) or 250 (computer based) or equivalent evidence of English language proficiency is expected for admission.
* In certain circumstances international students may be granted Exception Admit status for their first year at Bard, with the understanding that by the start of the second year these students will have achieved the required level of English-language proficiency. For such students, First-Year Seminar may be postponed to year two.
Even for Exception Admit students, it is required that the TOEFL test be taken in the home country and reported to Bard before arrival in the fall.
The purpose of this is for placement purposes in the ESL course, and to provide a baseline for measuring progress throughout the first year of the student's study of English. As part of the application process, each student needs to provide information about the schedule for taking the TOEFL test.
In their first year Exception Admit students' full-time course load of 12 credits will typically consist of
In order to complete the double-degree program in five years, Exception Admit students will need to carry increasingly full schedules in subsequent years. For some majors, it may not be possible for Exception Admit students to graduate in five years.
All applicants will receive notification two weeks after the application due date. If you have not heard from the Conservatory by that time, please contact us at email@example.com. or (845) 758-2604.
The Conservatory offers a M.M. degree in the Graduate Vocal Arts Program; there is no undergraduate voice degee in the Conservatory. Undergraduate voice is taught in the College's regular four-year Music Program.
Jazz studies, and instruments such as guitar, organ and saxophone are offered through the the College's regular four-year Music Program and not through the Conservatory.
Bard College employs two academic units for the teaching of music: the Music Program, and the Conservatory of Music. Students accepted into the five-year Conservatory program work toward two bachelor degrees: a B.M. in performance or composition, and a B.A. in a non-music subject. The Conservatory program is similar to what one would find at any other major Conservatory in the United States. However the Bard College Conservatory is unique in that all of its students are required to work toward a double-degree.In contrast, a student majoring in music in the Music Program is studying music in a liberal arts context—similar to what one might find at other liberal arts colleges such as Vassar, Williams, Wellesley or Harvard to give just a few examples. Though students may choose to double major in some other subject in addition to music, they ultimately earn only one four-year Bachelor of Arts degree. The study of music in the Conservatory is limited to orchestral instruments, composition, and piano. Voice is offered in the conservatory only as a M.M. degree and not at the undergraduate level. There is however a voice major in the Music Department.Music majors in the Music Program can study jazz, electronic and experimental music, music theory and history, ethnomusicology, composition, as well as classical performance. They can also study other instruments such as saxophone, guitar (electric and acoustic), and world instruments. Students may also major in voice in the Music Program at the undergraduate level, whereas the study of voice in the Conservatory is a M.M. degree only.There is a great deal of interaction and collaboration between the Conservatory and the Music Program and their respective students and faculty. They share facilities. There are frequent joint performances between students in both programs. And some faculty members teach in both programs. In fact, any class and ensemble in either program is open to any student at Bard as long as they meet the prerequisites or pass any required individual ensemble auditions.
The double degree is a requirement for all undergraduate students in the Conservatory. While it is possible to attend Bard College after being denied admission to the Conservatory, it is not possible for undergraduates to attend the Bard Conservatory without concurrent enrollment in Bard College's full liberal arts curriculum. Graduate students are only required to enroll in those courses specifically mentioned in each program's curriculum. The Conservatory also offers a non-degree Advanced Performance Studies Graduate Certificate.
All Bard students, regardless of major or whether they are in the Conservatory or not, may arrange for weekly private lessons. A full range of music courses is available and open to both students in botht eh Conservaotry and the Music Department. There are two orchestras on campus, numerous chamber ensembles, a contemporary music group, symphonic chorus, chamber singers, jazz big band, electro-acoustic and percussion ensembles, a student-run musical theater troupe, a Balinese gamelan and a Chinese music ensemble. In most cases private lessons and ensemble participation for Bard College students occur within the Music Program. In some instances non-Conservatory students are able to arrange for private instruction with Conservatory faculty by special arrangement. It is also possible for non-Conservatory students, by audition, to play in the Conservatory orchestra or Conservatory chamber ensembles. More information on Bard College's Music Department can be found here:www.bard.edu/academics/programs/programs.php
Conservatory students are welcome to enroll in any study abroad program offered by Bard College. Many use this opportunity to fulfill requirements for the BA degree. To date, conservatory students have studied in Israel, Germany, China, France, Hungary, Italy, Korea, Russia, and in New York City with the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program. In many cases students are able to continue their musical studies while abroad: for example, two conservatory students studying at Central European University in Budapest enrolled concurrently at the Franz Liszt Academy. Complete information on Studying Globally can be found here:www.bard.edu/globalstudy

What a caption.
The picture you see above is from a New Zealand newspaper called the "The Mirror." Fact-checking optional within, apparently.
Here's the backstory, passed along by friend of the blog, Joel:
I play hockey in Queenstown, New Zealand for the Southern Stampede. It's an amateur club in the top league in New Zealand called the NZIHL.
Anyways, we have a guy on our team named Matthew Schneider. He got injured in an inter squad game before the season started and has just recently come back. The only reason this might be of interest to you is that a local Queenstown, NZ paper seems to think he is Mathieu Schneider who played 20 years in the show and is coming out of retirement to help finish off the season, and lead us to another ship.

People's Bank recently entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Sri Lanka Customs to make customs duty or tax payments more convenient for importers, through the introduction of an online payment gateway.
Thanks to this partnership People's Bank customers can now make Custom's duty/tax payments for their imports via the People's Bank website, thereby eliminating a tedious procedure that importers have to undergo in order to clear their goods.
The launch of this new service also means that importers can make transactions at any time of the day, irrespective of banking hours adding far greater convenience and ease to importers. The Custom's department will process the transaction as soon as the payment is updated on their system.
Speaking about the launch of this new service the CEO/General Manager of People's Bank N. Vasantha Kumar said, "People's Bank has always pride of itself on being in the forefront of servicing the Nation's various financial needs and to reach out to as many people as possible so that we can make banking an accessible service to the greater majority of this country. Thanks to fruitful and innovative partnerships such as this that we are able to achieve this goal and we truly believe that this partnership will add value and offer far greater convenience to importers. Embracing new technologies is the key to survive in today's dynamic environment and we are proud to be a bank that constantly sets the benchmark in terms of technological advancement".
Commenting on the advantages of this new service the Director General of Sri Lanka Customs Jagath P. Wijeweera said, "Customs is currently working on expanding their service and offering all importers a service with high quality and better standards which importers would be able to benefit from in the near future. With the newly introduced online duty/tax payment scheme via People's Bank, the accounting process, data entering and monitoring transactions will be extremely convenient thereby vastly improving the productivity of the staff".

What they told me: Newspapers are dying. It's time to jump ship. Get out while you can. There's no future in journalism.
What I told them: I want to know why.
I'm a former sports reporter who walked away from my beat to find out why newspapers are struggling, what they can do about it and how the Internet is changing the way the media does business. After a decade in the field, I'm now a doctoral student at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, where I study journalists' routines, media sociology, and sports media and communications. I've presented my research at regional and national conferences.
I worked for the Press & Sun-Bulletin (Binghamton, NY) and The Times Herald (Olean, N.Y.). I've written for The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and the Baltimore Sun, among others. I've covered college basketball, minor-league baseball, the NCAA Tournament, the NHL playoffs, and the NFL, NBA and MLB. I voted in the AP men's basketball Top 25 and broke coverage of the 2003 St. Bonaventure men's basketball recruiting scandal.
Some day, I'll write a book. Until then, I'm proudly shouting my observations at Sports Media Guy, which has been featured on Deadspin and The Big Lead.

The project took much longer than I had planned but finally the chicks are out in their new home. We still have a few things to finish, like perches, nest boxes, entrance ramp and some outside paint, etc...but everyone got carried out there yesterday. It took awhile for them to come out into the run, then I had to carry each one back into the coop when it got dark. Today they would dash in there when loud noises scared them, and they are were inside when it got dark, so I just had to close the door and window. I think they are a little frightened of the dark since they all were clustered under the window, but I'm hoping they get acclimated soon, since there is no power out there yet (soon to come). I want lights and heated water this winter.
I've put some pics on my webshots page. I'll post a few more once I clear out some room in my camera. Cheers, Terry |

BRAVO Terry, your dh you did a great job! it looks terrific :) Your birds look so happy in their new home, I'm sure it won't take long for them to get comfortable. It must be such a good feeling to have them out in such a nice place. I love your EE'ers, they look so pretty! I look forward to seeing more pictures of them :) -Sheila |
Thanks Sheila-it turned into quite a project. I'll be glad when it is completely done. I'd like to put some top soil in the run-it is quite rocky. I don't think that having grit will be a problem! I would have liked to put down sod, but considering how fast they eat crabgrass, sod would be an expensive treat. I may get one roll from HD just to give them something to scratch and pick at to keep them occupied. |

Nice job. The pictures are so helpful. I could build one now from the pictures. I did one very similar 8 x 8 ft with a single slant on the roof back about 1972. I did the door in the front. cut out for a big window. but otherwise pretty similar ideas. I did it without drawings. I just figured it out as I went along. Trying to make 8 x 8 work out. Unfortunate I did not set it on cinder blocks and it did not last long enough. I also set it up and then put on the walls. I cut the door out of the plywood first then put it up. Just a little different. Oh yes I also used what I think they call textured wood on the sides. they use it for modern houses. it has slots up and down for a finished look. I think it might be called texure 111 siding. I used the narrow width. |

Found a bed I love on line, but am unfamiliar with the manufacturer. Can anyone comment to the quality of workmanship? (Apparently Crown Mark purchased Huntington and they're in the process of merging...)
http://www.crownmark.com/GetItemCMI.dm?~&InCode=H5150Q-5PC/CH I love well-done veneers, but am leary of getting a cheap looking one in this design. Also, hubby and I aren't small people by any means (he's 6'4" and I'm 5'7"), so need to make sure this design will hold up in the long run! |

Are you going to get a chance to meet up with us on Sat?
Hey y'all!
I watched Wishes from my patio last night!!!! Wooo Hoooo!! It was very, very cool! Now we are home and unpacking. Last night we got the kitchen, bathroom (s), MJ's toys, all the clothes unpacked (I now have all of my appliances and dishes in the kitchen and I still have room to move and cook, it is soooo cool) The new place is great, I was worried that some of our furniture wouldn't fit, but it does and it looks awsome, I'll get some pics up soon. Our stove and dishwasher are all new, so is the carpeting.
This morning we jetted over to AK for about two hours to ride Everest and let MJ play in the Boneyard. Everest is very cool, the drop isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, going backwards is a little bit disorienting, the queue is very neat (at least the FP one is, we didn't use the regular queue) overall, a cool ride! Oh and we got a very cool "I conquered Expedition Everest" sunscreen for our car windshield (that was the free gift for CM's riding)
Disability note: The ride is very smooth and not jerky at all, it didn't hurt me at all like some of the older coasters do...The wheelchair seats are at the back of the train.
I am still feeling some of the effects of the drug overdose, MJ is having trouble sleeping because of all of the changes. Andrew and I are going to knock out the craft room tonight so most everything should be unpacked soon and she and I can get into a routine.
I'd like to say thank you to some special people who devoted their weekend to helping us....
Adam (OmegaKnight)
Mike (Slade)
Cliff and Wesley
Courtney (from County Bounty)
Daina (FL Attractions)
Andy (FIL) and Kevin (BIL)
Eric (Safari)
I'll be cooking you all dinner soon!
Edit: it didn't post my whole post, trying again....

I can probably make it, let me make sure I have someone who can take us home and push MJ's chair...
I would love to go, Andrew has to work so I have to figure out the logistics...
I will keep my fingers crossed. BTW I have that board set up for you on the "other" site (the one called Magical Mountain ) for a while now

I am obsessive about unpacking, Andrew and his dad are putting up shelves in the craft room and my goal is to get it all gone through and put away tonight...as soon as MJ goes to sleep.

Thanks for the moving update, and the EE info....any ideas what kids say, 8-9 years old might think of it? (thinking of my son later this year....)
I am in need of some Disney magic!!
I am neurotic about neatness! LOL BTW Snow, if we have any luck at all MJ's new Wheelchair should be here soon and I should be able to post pics (I'll send some to the kids too, I'll need you to PM me the address)
Nicole, I knew a lot about the ride so there was nothing that acared me, but I can see that it might be a bit scary for the younger set or those that don't know about it...(PM me if you want me to send you details about the ride)
Ok, just got done sorting 12 book boxes, of those, we are keeping 4 or so....I think that is all I am going to get done tonight, but 3 friends are coming over to help tomorrow, so we should get more done...
Pics of the new place are up on MJ's Blog!

The ruling reversed a lower court's decision that had prohibited them from conducting inspections of fish in angler's live wells.
"The Supreme Court carefully balanced privacy rights and resource conservation interests," said DNR Enforcement Director Mike Hamm, "and ruled in favor of limited inspections by conservation officers to help sustain our natural resources."
The DNR, along with angling and sporting groups, had been very concerned with a lower court decision that stated officers were required to have probable cause to inspect anglers' boats.
"This ruling will help Minnesota conservation officers, who have protected the State resource since 1887, preserve these resources for generations to come, " Hamm said.
Fishing plays an important role in the lives of many Minnesotans and the corresponding need for effective regulation to protect the viability of the state's fish and game resources was confirmed today by the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision on this matter, Hamm noted.
The decision does not grant conservation officers powers beyond that of other law enforcement officers. Instead, recognizes that fishing is largely a recreational privilege and those "who chose to apply for this privilege accept the conditions imposed to the sport of game fishing."
The ruling is consistent with other cases, including Montana's Boyer case in which the Montana Supreme Court ruled "no objectively reasonable expectation of privacy exists when a wildlife enforcement officer checks for hunting and fishing licenses in open season near game habitat, inquires about game taken, and requests to inspect game in the field."
"The ruling recognizes how absurd it would be - because fishing can take hours or even days over broad areas - for conservations officers to individually watch every angler to determine if probable cause existed," Hamm said.
This case differs from State v. Larsen (in which the Minnesota Supreme Court prohibited the search of an ice fishing house without probable cause). The court's position is that fish shelters are erected to protect occupants from the elements and often provide eating, sleeping and other facilities that allow for a reasonable expectation of privacy. That's different from an open boat.

Our Principles
The programming and initiatives of the African and African American Resource Center are diverse in nature and include conferences, workshops, speaker series, mentoring, personal and academic guidance and many other activities, all of which revolve around the following principles:
- Advocacy
- Academic Success
- Social Enrichment
- Leadership Development
- Cultural Awareness
- Community Engagement
"Education is all a matter of building bridges." Ralph Ellison
The African and African American Resource Center supports the core values of diversity and multiculturalism in the mission of Northeastern Illinois University and the Pedroso Center's commitment to social justice through the support of African and African American students, faculty, staff, alumni and other interested members of the Northeastern community. The Resource Center was developed to:
Promote the engagement and integration of African and African American communities and cultures into all aspects of Northeastern.
Foster a welcoming environment and sense of belonging in the university community for people of African descent
Explore, celebrate and strengthen identity, unity and a sense of pride and dignity based on one's rightful cultural heritage.
Educate the university community regarding the needs and contributions of Africans and African Americans in an effort to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of human difference.
Signature Programs
The "Black and..." Brown Bag Lunch Series:
Far too often, the experiences of Africans and African Americas are viewed as monolithic and examined one-dimensionally in regards to race in isolation. The "Black and…" Brown Bag Lunch Series is a set of lectures, workshops and other events that speak to how gender, class, nation of origin, disability, sexual orientation, age, educational background in their many combinations come together to impact the educational experience of people of African descent.
Project NIA - Women of Purpose:
This project is designed to address the needs of Black women in the universitysetting and beyond so that they may be successful in their academic, professional, and personal goals. NIA seeks to gauge Black women student needs and address issues in the form of facilitated discussion, cultural excursions, and provide safe and supportive spaces where participants can come together through consciousness-raising and healing through the creation of support networks and spaces to convene and build a community within a community.
Kim's Kitchen:
This is a series of dinner discussion sessions designed to spark conversations among students, faculty, staff, administrators and community members regarding a number of topics. There is no formal presentation as foucs is on fellowship and dialogue. Tribute to the Legacy of Rev. Dr Martin Luther King: For the last 12 years, Northeastern has paid tribute to the memory and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. The tribute typically includes music, a panel of speakers, a featured lecture, interactive workshops, and engaging performances.
