Each year the Sociology Department celebrates student research at the Sociology Research Institute (SRI). This academic festival provides an opportunity for our graduate and undergraduate students to present their research in a professional meeting format and offers an occasion for all of us to appreciate the ideas and interests that capture the imagination of our students. In addition, we invite a nationally recognized scholar to present the keynote address and to participate in an open exchange of ideas with our students. SRI is also a time when we honor achievements in research, teaching and service; invite our alumni and friends to campus; and reflect on the accomplishment of a tremendous group of students, faculty and staff.
The 24th Annual SRI was held on Friday, April 25, 2014. We were honored that Mary Waters, the M.E. Zukerman Professor of Sociology and acting chair, at Harvard University gave the keynote address, Legal vs. Racial Exclusion: Understanding Undocumented Immigrants and Mass Incarceration. Throughout the day we gathered to celebrate an exciting year of student research as our graduate and undergraduate students participated in panel sessions on a variety of topics (see program). Department Chair, Elizabeth Boyle, announced this year's recipients of the Public Sociology Award, to Second Chance Coalition and Alejandro Baer. We thank all of the participants and congratulate the award winners!

- 1 green bell pepper, chopped fine
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

In a large saucepan of boiling water boil the lentils for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are just tender, drain them in a sieve, and rinse them briefly under cold water. Drain the lentils well and in a bowl toss them with the bell pepper, the onion, the tomatoes, the coriander, the oil, the vinegar, and salt and black pepper to taste.
Pat the fillets dry, season them with salt and pepper, and dredge them in the flour, shaking off the excess.

MAME4droid (0.139u1) 1.8 ha been released:
MAME4droid is a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator for Android devices.
Dapplegrey v5.1 had been released (2015/01/29)
"Dapplegrey is a frontend for the Mac OS X DOSBox port"
Hello, All!
This week, I have released the first major update to VGBAnext (VGBA-Android replacement), and also updated MasterGear for Android.
As you know, I had to replace the VGBA-Android app, removed by Google, with the new Emulator app. I have since renamed the new app to "VGBAnext". Unlike VGBA, VGBAnext supports *both* GameBoy Advance and GameBoy Color games, and also GameBoy Classic and Super GameBoy.
In VGBAnext 1.1, I have switched to the Material Design theme, with the flat title bar, new navigation, and light backgrounds. I have also updated all the icons (including app icon) and redesigned menus to make them all work uniformly. People who could not save gameplay for DropBoxed games, should find this bug fixed now.
MasterGear 3.1.8 had similar updates, with Material Design, updated icons, and rearranged menus. See below for the complete change lists.
VGBAnext 1.1 -- Universal GameBoy Emulator (GBA, GBC, GB, SGB)
* Switched to the Material Design theme.
* Added new app icon showing both GBA and GB.
* Added "up" buttons to all title bars.
* Revised all menus, making them work uniformly.
* Fixed uploading state back to DropBox after playing.
* Updated all icons to the newest Lollipop versions.
* Retired some icons, replacing them with better fitting ones.
* Removed application name from all title bars, to save space.
* Now defaulting to the "light UI" mode.
MasterGear 3.1.8 -- Sega MasterSystem, GameGear, and SG-1000 Emulator
* Now targeting Lollipop, Froyo+ still works though.
* Now using Material theme on Lollipop.
* Updated all icons to the newest Lollipop versions.
* Retired some icons, replacing them with better fitting ones.
* Removed app name from all title bars, to save space.
* GBA link now redirects to VGBAnext.
Best regards,
Marat Fayzullin

How to Use Evernote as a Contact Manager
Never miss an article. Subscribe to this blog by email.
The One Minute Takeaway
- Evernote is a software application. It comes in Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and Blackberry flavors
- As a tool, it has multiple uses, but its primary function is to capture information (web pages, articles, photos, chunks of text, contact information, graphics, etc.), store it in the cloud, index it to make it keyword and tag-searchable (findable) and then sync the cloud version with your laptop and mobile versions of Evernote
- If you don't already use it, you should. It will literally change your life
- If you do use it, take the time to learn more about it
- Over the next few weeks and months I'll be featuring a few ways that I use Evernote personally here
- This post shows step-by-step how to use Evernote as not just a Contact Manager, but a Relationship Manager, and why you should try it right now
- Evernote is free, but I recommend buying or upgrading to a Premium account, both to support future development of the application and because it provides for more storage
- Transparency Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the company other than being a customer, and none of the links provided below are affiliate-related
Evernote Contact Manager
The primary purpose of a Contact Management Program has always been to store and retrieve contact information (phone, email, address etc.). In fact, you're likely using the Contacts section of Outlook right now for this purpose. You may or may not be connecting a mobile device to your laptop via a sync cable and software program.
If this is you, I've got a bottle of Tylenol I can sell you, because there is a better way to do things and I'm about to show you something that will rock your world.
I'm writing this post because at the time of this writing there are no articles or tips for how to use Evernote as a Contact Manager, other than the suggestion that one can take photos of people you meet at a conference and use them to remember what they look like. There's also the obvious use of Evernote as a Contact Manager by taking photos of business cards with your smartphone and storing them in Evernote.
The Missing Piece: How to Use Evernote as a Relationship Management Tool
What we have here is a fundamental misunderstanding. You see, when I think of managing my contacts, I think of deleting phone numbers, updating Outlook and other painful things. But what I really want to think about, what's really (literally) as valuable as gold, is Relationship Management.
Any smartphone or email program can give you an Address Book or list of Contact Information. Evernote can even be used for that if you wish, but Contact Management is such a very small part of Relationship Management that it's worth clarifying the difference in mindset before I show you something new.
Contact Management = Me being able to locate & retrieve your phone number and email address
Relationship Management = Me using that information and more to, over a period of months, get to know you as a person and establish either a relatively shallow relationship (think: Twitter or Facebook) or a deeper relationship (think: in-person, phone, dinners, lunches, coffees, dates, marriage, life, etc.) with you.
You see the difference? It's important. Because while I hate "managing contacts", I absolutely love meeting new people and establishing relationships. I'm going show you to use Evernote to effectively manage relationships, but if you insist on simply wanting a Contact Manager, the same strategy here can be used for that too.
Step 1: Stop Looking for the Tool that Does Everything Really Well. It does not exist.
You're chasing a Pink Unicorn; and it is laughing at you, the way Pink Unicorns tend to do.
Step 2: Separate Your Contact Manager from Your Relationship Manager
NOTE: Below I'm going to briefly tell you about my current setup. When I write here, the strategies I write about can be applied to anything, because my objective is not to find ways to make things work for only specific devices or platforms on the market. My objective is to develop and share platform-agnostic techniques and strategies that work to solve a problem for many people. In English, this means that, while I am telling you what I use below and why I use that setup, if you're reading this and your preference is for say, the Blackberry or iPhone, keep reading. I'm just sharing what I have found to work best for me. For now.
I currently use the Droid X on Verizon as my mobile device. I use Google Business Apps, which provides me with a premium version of Gmail, Calendar, Docs and the rest of the product suite.
Gmail is my Contact Manager. In other words, when I need a phone number, or need to send an email or on the rare occasions when I need to locate an address, I click the Contacts link in my Gmail account.
This works nicely for me because when I change a phone number or email or create a contact in my Gmail account in a web browser, it is instantly available and updated on my smartphone. No cable. No syncing. No software. No headache. No Tylenol. My Contacts are in the cloud and I access them from multiple devices, including my smartphone.
Step 3: Use Evernote as a Relationship Manager, NOT a Contact Manager
Once you start using Evernote, you'll quickly discover many uses for it. Their site has video tutorials, a tips blog and many great ideas. If you click on the image below to view it full size, you'll see how I use Evernote as a Relationship Manager. I'll explain a bit more about it below the visual, but look at the image in its full size so you can get a sense for my setup. Click on it and if you're using a browser like Chrome you may also see a plus sign if you still need to click again to view it full size.
Take a couple minutes to look at the image. I'm going to go grab a cup of coffee and come back.
Okay. I'm back.
On Notebooks
On the left side of the image are my Notebooks. I'll do some short posts in the future on what they are and how I use them, but for now I'm just going to focus on the CONTACTS notebook (selected in the image).
Step 4: Create a Notebook for Relationship Management
Now here's a decision point for you that is your own personal preference. I do NOT use Evernote for Contact Management, meaning that I do NOT store phone numbers or email addresses. Why? Because I choose not to. The wonderful thing about Evernote is that you can customize your version the way you like it, even down to including contact information and/or photos of your contacts if you wish.
So create a new Notebook, and call it CONTACTS or RELATIONSHIPS or whatever you wish, so long as it means something to you and you know where to find it. If you put a character like a $ before the name, as you can see in the screenshot above, you can reorder your Notebooks however you prefer. It's also worth noting that you should explore further Evernote's ability to create "Stacks" of Notebooks, as I've done in the screenshot for the Notebook labeled "$ 20% SPOKES". Stacks are basically Notebooks that are organized under the same theme, so you may want to create a Stack called "PROJECTS" and within that might be a Notebook for each Project. There are a million ways to use this program, so test a few and use what works best for you. I'll tell you about my PROJECTS Notebook in another post.
Here are the reasons why I DON'T use Evernote as a Contact Manager:
- Because I use Gmail for my Contacts, there is no need to use Evernote to store my Contact Information
- When I email someone, I email them using the web version of Gmail because I have a searchable archive going back five years that is valuable to me. No other email client, PC or Mac can handle that large of an archive and still offer efficient and functional search capabilities to the degree that Gmail can. However, if you do make the choice to include the Contact Information in Evernote, the Link Field (in the image above it says "Virgin Galactic") can be used for the contact's email address by using "mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com" instead of http:// for a web link and it should launch your default email client with a new message pre-addressed.
- When I call someone, I call them from my mobile phone. Although in the Evernote app for Android, phone numbers in Notes can be touched on and it will dial the contact, I choose not to do this because it creates unnecessary dual updating of Contact Information for me – I'd have to update both Evernote as well as Gmail Contacts. Whenever possible I opt for Less, rather than More, particularly when I have a choice.
Step 5: Create Your First Contact or Relationship
Click to select the CONTACTS Notebook (or whatever you chose to call it).
Click the New Note icon and in the Note Title, put the person's name. Doesn't matter if you put last name first or first name last because we're not going to sort by name. The true power of Evernote is its ability to allow you to search specific Notebooks or All Notebooks by Tag or keyword or name or even the area code of a phone number, name of a book etc. – all from either your laptop or your smartphone. That's power under the hood.
In the example screenshot above I highlighted Richard Branson and listed his title, opting to create a "Tag" for his company name. Why? Because I wanted to be able to click that Tag or search on that Tag and have all contacts display from that company. An alternative option for you would be to title the note: "Richard Branson / Virgin Galactic".
Step 6: Use It
Here are some great usage tips if you choose to deploy this strategy:
Get a Text Expander
PC peeps: Comment below and tell me what the best text expander for Windows users is. I'm on a Mac. I'll update this article with a PC equivalent.
If you're on a Mac, you're just going to have to trust me on this tip. Go download and install Typinator (not an affiliate link). This software will allow you to create keystroke shortcuts for frequently used text. I'll do a post specifically on text-expansion software apps in the future, because they can really save you time in replying to email. But for now you're going to use it to create a single shortcut. The shortcut keystroke combination is going to be the letters DTS followed by a space. I don't provide tech support, so you're going to have to RTFM (read the manual) for Typinator, but it's pretty easy.
You're going to set that keystroke combination, Date/Time Stamp, such that every time you type that combination of keys, this happens:
Tuesday, 22-February-2011 – 9:13 PM:
Now you've got something you can work with to document phone conversations. Until you get a text expander you're going to have to manually just enter the date/time. Why take notes with Date and Time Stamps?
Two reasons:
#1. Because it makes you look really smart even if you're not. If something goes sour on a real estate deal you're doing, imagine the look on the face of the other agent when you are able to recite literally verbatim what they said or what you discussed over coffee or on the phone THREE MONTHS AGO!
And B, because it creates a chronological history of the Relationship, how frequently you meet, perhaps the last time you had coffee with this person they told you they needed help with finding a nice dog. After you had coffee and before you forgot, you booted up Evernote – either on your smartphone or your laptop, and you inserted the Date/Time Stamp, and put: "Met for coffee. She's looking for a dog. Prefers Rottweillers, not poodles. Would like it to be a shelter dog rather than from a breeder."
Four months after having coffee with her, you get a call from your friend who runs the Dog Rescue Center in Montana. Turns out she's looking to place a Rottweiller who is going to be put to sleep in 2 days if they can't find a home for her. Something clicks in your mind. One of your 500 friends you met with or spoke with or emailed with some months ago was looking for one, wasn't she? But who?
While you're still on the phone, you boot up your laptop and Evernote, click on the CONTACTS Notebook and search "dog" and "rottweiller". Immediately the friend you had coffee with four months ago comes up. Whether you chose to include contact information at the top of the notes or not, you now know immediately who your next call is going to be to. And you've helped someone. Two really – You helped the dog and you helped your friends.
Helping people and Paying It Forward is Powerful. As Scott Stratten says, it's "AwesomeSauce".
Less is More, Where Relationships are Concerned
As Peter Shankman says, "Follower Count is the new Penis Envy." And he's right. In Relationship Management, it's NOT about Quantity, it's about Quality.
It is physically impossible for you to maintain deep relationships with 1000 people and still be employed. Really. It's an easy time-based equation. Goes something like this: Hours you have available per month / # Relationships you want to grow or maintain = Time that you have for each person.
Or, said another way, "The bigger your CONTACTS Notebook, the shallower your relationships are."
You're giving them a fraction of a fraction of your attention, or, if you're like me, you wake up one day and have an epiphany. Suddenly you see why it's actually NOT better to have 1,000 or 5,000 "Friends" on Facebook; and you go through and pare your list down significantly so you can put more time and attention into fewer relationships. I have less than 250 Friends on Facebook, and I enjoy it far more than when I accepted every friend request that came in.
Don't Just Add Existing Contacts. Create Notes for People You'd Like to Meet
Relationship Management is not just about maintaining relationships. It's about adding new ones. So you should be creating Notes for people you'd LIKE to have a relationship with as well as those who you already know. For example, do you want to have a relationship with me? If so, create a Note with my name on it in the title (Adam Boettiger), drop my site link into the URL box (http://digitalminimalism.com/), follow me on Twitter to learn more about me and what I might need help with, and one day introduce yourself. But keep in mind that my philosophy is that Less is More, so it may not be possible right now for me to have a deep relationship with you. You may have to be satisfied with just following me on Twitter and engaging me there in 140-character chunks of text. Trust me. It's nothing personal. Like you, my Time and Attention are finite.
How to Remember to Stay in Touch in a World of Noise
Relationships – good ones – take work as well as an investment in time. With this Evernote Relationship Management System, there are two ways you can remember to stay in touch regularly with your Contacts:
The first way is to click the top of the column that has your Notes in it and choose to Filter the list of contacts by "Last Date Updated". What this will automatically do is, by month, allow you to see how long it has been since you changed or added something to a Contact's Note. In other words, if you haven't spoken to Mom in four months, it's probably time to give her a call.
The second way – the one that I use, is to use an email reminder service called FollowUpThen. It's free as of this writing. I have no affiliation with them other than using them for some time quite effectively. In this article, I go into great detail on how I use the service for those interested.
In general though, just understand that you need to have regular contact with people for a relationship to happen, so an example of how I might remember to do this might be to send email to: email@example.com with the Subject Line: TICKLE: Gail Goodwin and I'd send it with nothing in the Body of the message, unless there was something specific I needed to discuss with her. It just needs to be a nudge for me to open the Evernote app on my smartphone, look her up, read about what we discussed last and pick up the phone or email her.
On Karma
Generally when I meet someone new, after I get to know them I always end up asking the same thing: "If there was one thing that I could help you with this week or this month or this year, what would it be?"
Now, those who know me, know that's who I am. I know that at some point, if I help enough people, it generally comes back to me in some way. But our society has focused on "Me Me Me Me Me Me" for so long that it's quite funny the looks I get when I say this to a person I met in a coffee shop. They assume that you have to have an ulterior motive – selling or otherwise – if you're wanting to help them. And I think that's sad.
So for me, what Evernote allows me to do is help people. And look really smart to the people I choose to have relationships with. It allows me to ask about their spouse's broken ankle and refer to her by name – the "right" name this time.
I use Evernote for many, many things. It is a truly critical part of my life and I'll share more about how I use it in future posts. If you're interested and don't want to miss them, get on the list or pick up the RSS feed for this blog.
One Final Thought
Evernote is a powerful tool. If they ever went out of business, I would immediately look very stupid to my spouse and to many others. It's THAT important.
But helping other people is more important and more powerful than any product you can buy. So the one final thought I'd like to leave you with is this:
If you do decide to try Evernote and start adopting my philosophy of "Relationship Management" over "Contact Management", do me a favor?
When you create your CONTACTS notebook, pick three people you don't know well, create a Note for each of them, ask them how you can help them; and while you're on the phone with them, be taking notes in Evernote on what they need help with. Use descriptive keywords or even assign a Tag to that contact so that they will come up on future searches.
Help three people you don't know. Pay It Forward and it will come back to you a hundred-fold. I guarantee it.

Here's how game creator Ubisoft replicated the guns, uniforms, and everyday life of Revolutionary times as accurately as possible. By John Brandon Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 6 Throwing Out the Trash You might not think of garbage as a major game-play element. But in ACIII, as you sneak around densely populated colonial towns, you can sneak inside buildings by waiting until someone opens a window and throws out the trash, then climbing inside. "Municipal garbage collection was unknown in 18th-century America," says Alan Axelrod, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to the American Revolution. "People generally threw refuse out into the street. In some locales, townspeople would pay laborers to shovel the stuff away from time to time." The concept of a garbage collector did not arise until around 1945, when U.S. cities started building landfills. Laws governing where you can dump garbage have been around since the 1920s. Yet historians are divided about how colonials handled their rubbish. Forman disagrees with Axelrod and says early Americans probably did not throw garage out the window. He says the game developers might have cited the medieval practice that eventually caused the Black Plague, but colonial times were different. "The volume of refuse was much lower per capita and a lot was recycled out of necessity," Forman says. "Worn-out clothes were collected as rags and as raw material for paper, scraps fed barnyard animals, fat went for soap and candles, fireplace ashes with alkali were used in soap making and other small-scale industry, human refuse went into the privies and compost heaps for the most part." Even in farming areas, he says, locals kept streets clean and reused garbage for livestock. Ironically, he says the game developers could have decided to use the same game-play element for opening windows, because this was a common practice throughout the day to air out a house, and windows were rarely locked.

I added a teaspoon of sugar as I like mine slighter sweeter than it came out; I also like it spicier and will have to kick it up next time but the flavor was amazing. I added rice noodles at the end to complete it instead of rice. I'll be making it for a long time..."

1928 - 2012
Nell Fancher Lukens of Walla Walla passed away peacefully at Eagle Springs on Oct. 18, 2012. She was 84. Nell was born in Tonasket, Wash., Feb. 10, 1928, to Robert Fancher and Wanda McMillan Fancher. Nell and her brothers and sister grew up on the Pilot Wheel Ranch, a large cattle ranch outside of Tonasket, Wash. She graduated from Tonasket High School in 1945 and attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, where she was a cheerleader and a member of Delta Gamma sorority. At Whitman, she met and married her first husband, David Stevens; they moved to Stillwater, Okla., where she received a bachelor of arts degree from Oklahoma State University.
After returning to Walla Walla, Nell worked for six physicians for several years as office manager and later became a part-owner of Greg Jones Travel Agency; she also worked at Whitman College in the Harper Joy Theatre and the Alumni Office.
In 1977, Nell married Eugene (Hank) Lukens of Seattle, who was then a member of the faculty of the University of Washington Dental School and a fellow native of the Okanogan Valley. Nell was a member of the Walla Walla Country Club and several organizations in Walla Walla including Junior Club, and the Book Club. Nell enjoyed golf, cooking and entertaining and her family and a wide circle of friends were the center of her life. She had the happy ability to make friends with anybody by being "just plain folks."
Nell and Hank travelled extensively, including several cruises to all parts of the world. They also enjoyed their summer cabin on the Kettle River near Curlew, Wash.
Nell was predeceased by her parents, Robert and Wanda Fancher; her brother, Bill Fancher; and her sister, Roberta Fancher Coon. She is survived by her husband, Hank Lukens of Walla Walla; brother, Jick Fancher of Quincy; son and daughter-in-law, David and Susan Stevens; and granddaughters, Molly and Emma of Napa, Calif.; Mark Lukens of Bellevue, Kathy Lukens Williams (Ron) of Kirkland; and niece, Mary Coon (Mel Butler) of Mercer Island.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Had a lovely relaxing weekend we had trouble getting there o the fri and didn't arrive until late we phoned sue and she was very understanding and let us check in late. We had a lovely time was very quite and peaceful and the places to eat recommended were lovely.
A great escape from the hustle and bustle of busy work.
It's a very remote location but if you come prepared it's great to get away!
Very nice lodge clean and tidy but too quiet for us would have preferred more faciilties on site
Lovely part of the world and we had a fabulous time. Our only constructive comments would be that the accommodation is starting to show sign of age and will soon require modernization out of the '80's and the shower was rarely warm. Other than that is was great, spacious, well equipped and the hot tub was brilliant
Perfect location for a long weekend break... Within a peaceful area. Staff were helpful and well worth the money.
Had a very relaxing break away from work to calibrate our 40th wedding anniversary
Having quarry lorries going past every few seconds from 6am until 5pm every day was horribly noisy and was not a quiet relaxing holiday. Would never have booked if it had stated it was 10 feet from a road and that road was the road to a quarry. Would not recommend and would never go again. Real disappointment after our holiday with you last year.
Outstanding accommodation perfectly suited for disabled visitors. The location is pleasant but a little remote, necessitating fairly long drives to any main attraction. Ideal for a quiet holiday.
the lodge was comfortable but the seating downstairs could hve been better for 4 people - we brought a chair down from the upstairs to make the seating more comfortable - we could not have squashed 3 people onto the sofa!
The location is remote and quiet but close enough to towns and amenities to enjoy the best of both worlds. We loved watching the alpacas in the next field and walking along the canal, although the autumn weather limited our opportunity to spend much time outside. There is not much else around so not a high mark for the location - there is nothing wrong with it, there is just not much there. A very warm and informative welcome from Sue.
A lovely lodge in a lovely location. It was a little hard to find (we were lost for a long time) but well worth the time spent trying to get there. I would say that your own transport seems to be a must to get around the area but there are some brilliant places to visit within an hour's drive of the site.
Some attractions were overpriced.
This holiday was very relaxing and certainly recharged our batteries. The accommodation was spacious and clean as well as very equipped. The hot tub was WONDERFUL..... The road is fairly busy in the day therefore we didn't fancy walking as the traffic was mainly lorries going to the quarry however you couldn't hear it inside the accommodation. . We really enjoyed the quiet setting as it suits us to be away from the humdrum...... Will definitely return..

Behavioral Health
Enterprise Information System (EIS) - EIS Communicator - April 16, 2003
EIS - The Maine Documentation
April 16, 2003
Launching the EIS Cruise
The ship didn't quite hit the water on Monday. The MR Intake and Eligibility Process used an assessment that failed to perform consistently. I had to scramble yesterday and make the correction is now functioning.
MR Intake and Eligibility 3 – Version 1
This process is now active and ready for use.
MR Crisis Contact Process 3 – Version 1
This process is in the water and ready to go. Keep in mind the process works in the following manner:
Step 1: The referral is completed. It may be started by an ISC but must be completed by crisis team staff. If there is no referral form at the start of the crisis contact, the crisis team member must start and complete.
Step 2: Record client-tracking information showing start of contact.
Step 3: Start and complete the assessment of the crisis situation.
Step 4: Complete Safety Assessment.
Step 5: Complete Medical Assessment.
(Steps 1, 3-5 may all be done as part of the actual contact with the person over the telephone or in face-to-face contact. The items on these assessments may be blended into the conversation and interview.)
Step 6: Is the summary of all steps that proceed. It is the setup step that begins preparing for the prevention plan development.
Step 7: Write and publish MR Crisis Plan as needed.
Step 8: Refer person to other sources of support, service or intervention, i.e. hospital, mental health center, private therapist, etc. and document.
Step 9: Conduct and document post-crisis review.
NOTE: Please pay attention to those who are to be notified at the various steps in the process. Action steps have been included.
MR Crisis Residential Admission – Version 4
This process is in the water and ready to go. This process has been collapsed into ten steps eliminating five steps, however the functions and duties and do not change only the documentation procedure. Keep in mind the process works in the following manner:
Step 1: Routine Notification Procedures (Consumer Rights, House Rules, Consent to Assessment and Treatment, Property Checklist, Medication Administration Setup,)
Step 2: Secure Informed consent for treatment.
Step 3: Complete needed release(s) of information to share or provide information to support the person in crisis.
Step 4: Complete the Medical Information Assessment
Step 5: Hold meeting and then develop Crisis Residential Plan. Begin attaching shift notes to the plan immediately (1 note for 11:00 pm to 7:00 am; 1 note for 7:00 am – 3:00pm, and 1 note for 3:00 to 11:00 pm. Shift times may vary from house to house, but following the three-note format above. Also attach notes regarding significant events that may occur during a shift and complete all required reportable events reports when such an event occurs. )
Note: These are the early steps in the admission process. The following occur in beginning the second day of admission once staff has had some observation time.
Step 6: Update Crisis Assessment in Step 2 above.
Step 7: Complete Safety Assessment
Step 8: In preparation for discharge, hold meeting to prepare and write Crisis Prevention Plan that is to be attached to this process.
Step 9: Complete Client Tracking to indicate discharge from home and referral/placement in another living arrangement.
Step 10: Document the Post Crisis Process. Remember the Individual Support Team Process will be written and tracked as part of the MR Person Centered Plan for the individual.
MR Guardianship Petition Request
This process is in the water and ready to go. This process maintains its three steps, but the first annual guardianship plan must be completed in the MR Guardianship Annual Plan Review and Update process. Keep in mind the process works in the following manner:
Step 1: Complete the MR Petition Request Assessment
Step 2: Go to the Annual Plan Review Process and complete plan Mail all signed documents to the Public Guardianship Office
Step 3: Report back from Public Guardianship Office of court action.
MR Guardianship Annual Plan Review
This process is in the water and ready to go. This process maintains only two steps. Keep in mind the process works in the following manner:
Step 1: Complete the Annual Plan Review Notify Public Guardianship Office of the review once it has passed by the Regional Supervisor
Step 2: Notify the regional offices of any changes in guardianship as a result of the annual review. There is seldom any change, but needs to be appropriately noted.
MR Guardianship Notification
This process is in the water and ready to go. This process maintains only three steps. This special process is for requesting and reviewing significant public guardianship decisions and actions. Simple everyday guardianship approvals should not be reported through the process unless requested by the Public Guardianship Program Manager. The primary purpose of this process is to document the process of decision-making. Keep in mind the process works in the following manner:
Step 1: Write note and notify Public Guardianship Office of the Note.
Step 2: Public Guardianship Office sends response.
These two steps can be repeated many times until reaching a final decision or concluding point.
Step 3: Close the notification process.
Rack, Ruin and Wreck Cruise
April 15 to June 15
Beginning April 15, 16, 2003, MR Services is launching the next expansion of the EIS. This expansion is the shakedown cruise of the EIS. The program is quite stable at this time and with the additional hardware that has been added it is improving in speed. On the 15th, 16th most several (see above) of the MR processes will be working and released to staff for use.
The general attitude our adopted for this shakedown cruise is that we want to identify any operational issues or concerns that may exist. Knowing that staff will be using the program full time and in almost all its capabilities, we will learn whether the program and its hardware can take use and abuse that will occur between April 15th and June 15th. Forgiveness for mistakes and errors will be generously given to everyone as we observe the functioning and responsiveness of the program.
During this time everyone should work straightforwardly with the program and not fear any problem that may arise. All that we ask is that problems be reported to the BDS Helpdesk with a copy to me. The BDS Helpdesk will help if possible or triage your problem and refer it to the appropriate staff member.
While the shakedown cruise is underway, there will be releases of new solutions to problems as well as updates to processes that may demonstrate some limitation. Watch your e-mail for updated information, and most importantly watch for alerts on the EIS Login Page.
The Data Center has a limited number of staff who appreciate your patience as they work to solve operational problems. They have the challenge of getting Children Services online at the same time, plus prepare for Mental Health Services later in the summer.
Important Note:
EIS Logon from the Maine State Homepage is active. This logon is outside the state firewall and only requires your user ID and password. The website address is: http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/bds/co/centra_main.html. Check EIS at bottom of index.

So here I am, on a spacewalk, and you want me to use a different wrench?
No, this was not shot from the International Space Station. I shot this last week at Scienceworks, where this astronaut hangs from the ceiling outside the planetarium. Believe me, it's a tough shot without a tripod!
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F.6, 1/20 sec, ISO 800, focal length 78mm.

Delighted to hear that, Jan. The figure is suspended from the ceiling – and I reckon I shot a dozen vertical frames from different angles before I shot this horizontal frame.

Nicely captured!
Thank you, Bree – I had to step away from the space shuttle first!

It really looks like an 'in space' shot. Great capture.
I was waiting for "Earth" to appear on the horizon, Jordan!

Das ist ja witzig: ich habe gerade Bratäpfel gemacht! :-) Diese hier hätte ich gut dafür verwenden können! Toll finde ich, wie die Haare und der Baum ineinander übergehen! Super Judith!!
Mensch, wenn ich das gewusst hätte! Da hätte ich Dir gleich ein paar Äpfel vom Baum geschickt ;-) Schön, dass Du da warst! Ich hoffe, Deine Woche läuft soweit gut. Bei uns ist totales Herbstwetter mit Nebel und kühlen Temperaturen. Das mag ich aber. Viele liebe Grüße nach Rom, Judith

text: Oh my god, i tried this for the first time and it is SO GOOD! It's like eating dessert, like a creamy custard or something. I know there is tons of fat in it, but it's good for you and a small amount satisfies (that says a lot coming from me, a person who can overeat almost anything). I'm not a huge fan of regular yogurt so i'd much rather eat 1/3 cup of this than a whole cup of lowfat yogurt.

Recipe Time
Nutritional Information
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Place a saucepan of water on high heat. Heat to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
3. In a mixing bowl, crack eggs and warm them over simmering water for 1 minute (hold bowl directly over the water, using a dish towel to protect your hands), whisking constantly.
4. Remove eggs from heat, and whisk for another minute until eggs are very fluffy. Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a large, heatproof, stainless-steel or tempered-glass bowl; set it over the simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl. Let the chocolate and butter melt; remove from heat. Let mixture cool slightly by stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
5. Once slightly cooled, fold the chocolate and butter into the whipped eggs until no more streaks show. Batter will deflate.
6. Spray 6 (4-ounce) ramekins or ovenproof dessert cups with nonstick cooking spray (or use foil cups, or even muffin tins). Fill them 3/4 of the way full and place on a baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on how gooey you'd like the centers. Turn the cakes out onto dessert plates, and serve immediately with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Has anyone replace an older curved handle of a refrigerator with a straight handle successfully? We have a ten year old refrigerator that works well but it has a curved handle. Our new oven has a straight handle. I have not found any information for a replacement handle from Amana, who made our fridge, but I have found a place called like doorware.com and another place called firstimpressionint.com that sell appliance handles. It looks like some are for the cabinet panels and some are for the actual refrigerators. I would love to know if this has worked for anyone. |

Galanthus elwesii produces some of the largest snowdrop flowers, up to 2.5cm long with a beautiful honey fragrance. This choice snowdrop loves to shelter in dappled shade at the base of trees and shrubs, but looks equally at home in an alpine garden, or naturalised in grass. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 10cm (4"). Bulb size: 4/5.Snowdrop bulbs are ideal for autumn planting. For spring planting choose snowdrops in the green. Useful links: View 4 for 3 bulbs range How to grow bulbs, corms and tubers More info |
Winter AconiteEranthis hyemalis This woodland member of the buttercup family will swiftly multiply to form a glowing carpet of golden yellow flowers each spring. The cup shaped blooms of the winter aconite attract pollinating insects to your spring garden, and associate beautifully with snowdrops and bluebells for a spectacular woodland display. Easy to establish and virtually maintenance free, Eranthis hyemalis are ideal for planting in the dappled shade of deciduous trees, or naturalised in informal areas of grass. Height: 8cm (3?). Spread: 5cm (2?). Bulb size: 3/4.Winter aconite bulbs are ideal for autumn planting. For spring planting choose winter aconites bulbs in the green. Only cultivated stock used.

I love this product. I just started using it but I anticipate great results .. after only the first use with conditioner my hair is softer and shinier .. my boyfriend is using it as well! It smelled nice, lathered nice, and I especially liked that I could use the conditioner as a leave-in as well! I am on medication that dries my hair out so I can only wash it once a week anyway, so this is great to use!
I reviewed this product a while back but my opinion of the product has changed so I am changing my review. First off, I give this 5 stars for animal use. This is the only shampoo I will use on my dog and cat. It never irritates their skin and leaves their coats shiny and healthy. Now onto human use: This gets the job done. Period. It leaves my hair cleaner than any other shampoo I've ever tried. This with the matching conditioner make my hair feel stronger and shinier. The problem is that I can't use it every day or my hair starts to feel dry. (Thats why I gave it a bad review the first time.) But, I now realize this is really just a good strengthening shampoo/ conditioner and all I needed to do was alternate a moisturizing conditioner into my routine. (Right now I'm loving the One n Only Argan Oil Restorative Treatment.) I highly recommend Mane n Tail... As long as your willing to alternate the conditioner every few days with something more moisturizing.

My mom got the shampoo for my dad after a few colleagues at work told her about its supposed hair growth properties. I decided to try it as well after reading so many glowing reviews.
I have long hair down to my waist, and while I don't particularly have that much hair, the individual strands themselves are very thick. I usually keep 3 different brands of drugstore shampoos (+ respective conditioners) in my bathroom (Head&Shoulders, L'oreal, Dove) which I alternate every few days.
I noticed a dramatic change in my hair texture after using the M&T shampoo. It made my hair coarse, hard to manage, and completely destroyed the glossy shine. I used an intensive repair conditioner after the shampoo, and still got such disappointing results.
My dad has been using this product for around 3 months now, and we have yet to see any substantial results (neither new hair growth, or faster growth speed of existing hairs).
I mentioned the coarseness and lack of shine, which are indications that the hair cuticles are not laying flat, or are damaged. Your hair will feel more voluminous when the cuticles are damaged, but it's not because you are growing new hair.

When i first got this shampoo i was super excited to use it and it smelled pretty good. I feel like this stuff really did make my hair grow a little bit! Probably about 2 extra inches? but, after about a school year of use my hair got used to the shampoo and conditioner and it left my hair feeling kinda gross and not so bouncy anymore. I ended up saving about a 1/4 of a bottle of it and i still have it. Everytime i've gone to use it my hair still feels like crap basically.
I love this so much it really seems to be changing how my hair looks and feels. Anyone tried any of their other products? I am thinking of switching to mane and tail permenantley
I love this product! I used to have long hair but I recently cut it off and this shampoo along with the conditioner is making my hair grow longer! Just don't use it everyday, because it will cause build up in your hair. I use it every 2-3 days and it's a great product!
since January i have stripped my hair 4 times and i dye it once a month....using mane'n tail my hair has NEVER been in such good condition. my hair used to be limp, fine & took a lot of effort to style and give volume! After using this product for a month and a half (only one bottle of the shampoo&conditioner as they last a while) my hair is thicker, easier to style with its new fuller body & after all the chemical treatments it feels healthier than ever. best thing i ever did was purchase this. i have the original & color protect, both are amazing as eachother & dont have a heavy scent. you can easily find the shampoo&conditioner on ebay just for around £10!!!
This product is great the few times but after a while it does leave a thick layer of residue wich can wiegh your hair down and make it dull and unmanegable thats why i strongly suggest you use a clarifiying shampoo once a week to get rid of the residue
More reviews by fresh1fierce1feminine
Incredible shampoo! My hair averagely grows and inch every 3 months. I have been growing out my previously chin length bob for YEARS and I've only gotten to a little past my collarbone. Ridiculous, I know. I eat very healthy and I exercise tons and drink lots of water, and I've gone to a doctor to make sure theres no abnormalties affecting my hair growth but the bottom line was simply: My hair grows super slow. So after trying many homemade masks, expensive treatments, and trying silly myths to make hair grow faster, I finally gave in and bought this shampoo, (after reading many reviews on it) Of course, I was skeptical about this actually working for faster hair growth but-my mind is BLOWN AWAY! I started to use this and after using it ONCE my hair felt fuller, and 90 % of my split ends and damage had gone away (with using the conditier as well). Then, after about a month of using this-it started growing! Now, since I've bought this in December my hair has grown 5 and a half inches! IN-CRE-DI-BLE! This product gives a very clean finish so only use it 3-4 times a week depending on your activeness. Also, use the conditioner with this as it is very cleansing. Also, as an additional feature to this FABULOUS shampoo & conditioner I deep condition with the Mane n' Tail conditioner once a week, or less depending on my hairs look. Will definitely repurchase :)
You cannotttttttt use this product without a conditioner. Just don't try. Anyway, At first glance, this shampoo has a metallic white color and a weird gelatinous texture. It lather great, and paired with conditioner it makes hair soft and bouncy. Unfortunatley it does absolutely nothing for hair growth which sucks. It smells like chemical fruit punch which I kind of like. You get like a gallon of it for 3-7 bucks. Also, this stuff gets your hair CLEAN. It lathers up amazingly and really gets all the buildup out of your hair.

I am trying to buy a readymade granite vanity countertop to have someone else install, and all the ones I've been able to find online or in the big box stores are pre-drilled for 8" widespread faucets. I need to get a single handled faucet that's ADA compliant (I have hand problems), but they only seem to come in 4" centerset or single hole variations. I wondered whether I could find an 8" cover plate (or deck plate, or escutcheon) that would fit over any single-hole, single-handle bathroom faucets to cover up the 2 extra holes, rather than abandoning the idea of the granite countertop. But I'm not sure the center hole on the couple of cover plates I've found online would be wide enough to allow for the single handled faucets I've seen. The only readymade vanity countertops I've found that come predrilled with the 4" spread or a single hole are in either cultured marble or Swanstone, and I'd really prefer granite. If anyone has any advice about this, I'd really appreciate it. TIA for any replies. marilano |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, although it's not ideal, you could cap the extra holes individually. Or you can use one or both for accessories. Perhaps a soap dispenser in one, and cap the other.....or a small filtered water tap to round it out. The chrome caps are a few bucks each. They are dropped in, then tightened from underneath. |
