FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS OFFICE OF HEALTH SERVICES HEALTH SERVICES BULLETIN NO: 15.05.10 Page 1 of 13 SUBJECT: PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT EFFECTIVE DATE: 04/22/08 _______________________________________________________________________________ I. POLICY: It is the policy of the department that the special treatment procedure of psychiatric restraint be used with appropriate written clinical justification and in accordance with relevant laws and professional standards. The least restrictive alternative principle shall apply in the use of psychiatric restraint. II. PURPOSE: A. To ensure the physical and emotional safety of inmates who require psychiatric restraint. B. To prevent the use of psychiatric restraint as punishment, and to protect the well-being and dignity of the inmate. C. To specify methods and procedures for the proper use of psychiatric restraint. III. DEFINITIONS: A. Agitation: Physical or verbal behaviors that health care staff determine to be an indicator of possible danger to self or others. B. Ambulatory Restraints: Refers to leather or vinyl (or made of similar soft material) wrist cuff and straps and optional leg restraints. Ambulatory restraint permits limited mobility for the inmate. C. Clinical Lead: The on-site clinical staff member who directs the clinical activities of staff involved in the psychiatric restraint intervention. D. Emergency Treatment Order: The use of psychotropic medications without an inmate's informed consent that is restricted to emergency situations in which the inmate presents an immediate danger of causing serious bodily harm to self or others, and where no less intrusive or restrictive intervention is available or would be effective.

Episode of Restraint: A single episode of restraint commences once the application of restraint is authorized. An episode of restraint is considered terminated after thirty (30) minutes of calm behavior while in restraints followed by thirty (30) minutes of calm behavior after release from restraints (sixty [60] minutes continuous calm behavior).

An additional leather or vinyl strap may be fastened across the inmate's lower thighs and anchored to the side of the bed (six [6] point restraint) if needed. G. Isolation Management Room: A cell in an infirmary area or a mental health inpatient unit intended to provide a safe environment for inmates who may present a risk of self-injury. An isolation management room must meet the standards for certification of isolation management rooms in accordance with Procedure "Isolation Management Rooms and Observation Cells," 404.002. H. Leg Restraint (Ambulatory): A leather or vinyl (or made of similar soft material) ankle cuff with connecting strap which allows ambulation but limits the ability of the inmate to run or engage in aggressive kicking. I.

J. Other Psychiatric Restraint Devices: Psychiatric restraint devices (e.g., mittens, restraint net, etc.) other than four (4) point restraint and ambulatory restraints (as defined in this health services bulletin) may be utilized only after the institutional health services staff have received written authorization from the Office of Health Services to use such restraint devices. The institutional health services administrator must keep such authorization on file. K. Personal Restraint: The application of physical body pressure or grasp by another person, typically security staff, to the body of the inmate in such a way as to limit or control the physical activity of the inmate.

Security Lead: The ranking member of the Security restraint team who oversees and directs Security staff in the application of psychiatric restraint. R. Self-harm Observation Status: Refers to a clinical status ordered by a physician, clinical associate, or advanced registered nurse practitioner that provides for safe housing and close monitoring of inmates who are determined to be suicidal or at risk for serious self-injurious behavior, by mental health staff, or in the absence of mental health staff, by medical staff in accordance with Procedure "Suicide and Self-Injury Prevention," 404.001. S. Self-Injurious Behavior: Self-directed behavior that has the potential to cause physical injury as assessed by mental health or, in their absence, medical staff. T. Time-Out: An inmate may request voluntarily to remove him/herself from a potentially stimulating situation by going into a locked or unlocked housing cell or designated room. Time-out is indicated when the inmate realizes she/he is potentially at risk for losing self-control. Staff may suggest to the inmate that she/he consider if she/he might benefit from time-out. The purposes of time out are for the inmate to maintain self-control over her/his behavior and to reduce environmental stimulation. U. Thirty (30) Minute Rule: A secluded or restrained inmate must remain calm for thirty (30) continuous minutes (including periods of sleep) to be released from seclusion or psychiatric restraint.

Wrist Restraints: Leather or vinyl (or made of similar soft material) waist belt and wrist cuffs used to restrict the movement of an inmate's hands and arms. IV. LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE PRINCIPLE: A. When clinical staff determines that an inmate is becoming agitated and/or may present a risk that may pose imminent danger to self or others, efforts will be made to reduce the level of risk through the least restrictive means possible that will provide for the safety of the inmate and others. If possible, the intervention will also help the inmate to regain self-control. B. Staff will give consideration to each of the following levels of intervention when determining the least restrictive alternative to provide for the safety of the inmate and others: 1. Verbal counseling. 2. Time Out (voluntary) – As defined in section III., "T". 3. In an inpatient mental health unit, it may be appropriate to house an inmate who displays symptoms of agitation in a single housing cell when the inmate does not present indications that she/he is a danger to him or herself and does not present an imminent risk to harm others. 4. When an inmate in an inpatient unit displays behavior that presents a risk to staff and/or other inmates due to direct threats toward others, or the clinical staff determine that an inmate's behavior impedes the treatment of other inmates, a clinical staff member can order seclusion for that inmate. 5. Placement on self-harm observation status when the inmate presents an imminent risk of harm to self. 6. Personal restraint. 7. Ambulatory restraint. 8. Four (4) point restraint (plus chest and/or leg straps if necessary). C. There may be situations when less restrictive interventions would be insufficient. When psychiatric restraints or seclusion are ordered, the documentation that less restrictive alternatives were considered and the clinical rationale for the use of restraints must be recorded in the inpatient record. V. PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATION: A. Psychotropic medication can be utilized in conjunction with any of the interventions noted above. HEALTH SERVICES BULLETIN NO: 15.05.10 Page 5 of 13 SUBJECT: PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT B. Any use of an emergency treatment order for involuntary medication must be in accordance with guidelines referenced in health services bulletin "Psychotropic Medication Use Standards and Informed Consent," 15.05.19: 1. Choice of medication to be used will be based on the assessed clinical presentation of the inmate. 2. A physician's order must accompany each use of an emergency treatment order. 3. Such involuntary treatment shall be limited to a particular episode of imminent danger to self or others. 4. Standing orders, "as needed" (PRN) orders and neuroleptics as a decanoate preparation are prohibited for use as an emergency treatment order. 5. The need for periodic involuntary medication (three [3] or more involuntary doses of psychotropic medication in a twenty-four [24] hour period) may indicate a need for referral to a crisis stabilization unit or from a crisis stabilization unit to a mental health treatment facility. C. The use of psychiatric restraints may be necessary in order to safely administer an emergency treatment order. Clinical staff will determine the level of restraint needed to ensure the safety of the inmate and staff for administration of the emergency treatment order. VI. SECLUSION: A. A clinical staff member may authorize placement of an inmate on an inpatient unit into a secure cell to seclude that inmate from staff and other inmates when less restrictive interventions have been ineffective. B. When the situation permits, a psychiatrist, non-psychiatric physician, or other prescribing provider (e.g., advanced registered nurse practitioner, clinical associate) will provide a written or verbal order for seclusion. Seclusion may be authorized by a senior psychologist, psychological specialist, registered nurse, or licensed practical nurse (a non-prescribing clinical staff member), in that order of availability, if a prescribing clinician is not immediately available. If a non- prescribing clinical staff member authorizes seclusion, then nursing staff must begin the process of obtaining a physician's order for seclusion within one (1) hour of initiating seclusion. C. Clinical staff should authorize seclusion only when the inmate exhibits behavior that presents a potential risk to the safety of staff or other inmates, or the inmate's behavior creates a disruption to the inpatient mental health unit treatment milieu sufficient to significantly interfere with the treatment of other inmates. Seclusion is utilized to reduce environmental stimulation, provide for the safety of staff and other inmate's and to minimize disruptions to the therapeutic milieu. HEALTH SERVICES BULLETIN NO: 15.05.10 Page 6 of 13 SUBJECT: PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT D. A secluded inmate must have access to drinking water and a toilet. Typically, an inmate would be secluded in a housing cell. The rationale for the use of seclusion must be noted in the medical record. Secluded inmates must be observed every fifteen (15) minutes at minimum with documentation on the "Observation Checklist," DC4-650. The inmate shall be released from seclusion when the thirty (30) minute rule is met. E. Any inmate's who has been placed on seclusion, regardless of the length of seclusion, will be referred to the inpatient unit's Risk Assessment Team and the inmate's Multidisciplinary Services Team for review at the next regularly scheduled meetings. The Multidisciplinary Service Team will conduct a review of the seclusion incident to guide future interventions. The review will include a discussion of: 1. What actions might clinical and/or security staff be able to utilize to reduce the potential need for seclusion or restraint in the future? 2. What actions might the inmate be able to utilize to reduce the potential need for seclusion or restraint in the future? F. The chief health officer must review any inmate who has remained in seclusion for five (5) days. Any inmate who has remained in seclusion for ten (10) days must be referred to the statewide psychiatric consultant or the regional mental health consultant for review. Accommodations must be made to provide to secluded inmates at least the minimum hours of planned scheduled services as delineated in health services bulletin "Inpatient Mental Health Services," 15.05.05. VII. CRITERIA FOR PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT: A. Psychiatric restraint may be utilized only for inmates on an inpatient (including infirmary) level of care status. B. Psychiatric restraint may be indicated when one (1) of the following criteria are met: 1. The inmate presents an imminent danger to self. 2. The inmate presents a danger to staff providing for her/his care and/or custody needs while located in an isolation management room or other clinical care area in an inpatient mental health unit. 3. The inmate demonstrates behavior indicating a likelihood that she/he will create an unsafe condition within an isolation management room, such as by damaging or altering the cell or its contents and no lesser restrictive intervention appears to be feasible. HEALTH SERVICES BULLETIN NO: 15.05.10 Page 7 of 13 SUBJECT: PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT VIII. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE USE OF PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT: A. Any inmate who presents an imminent risk of injury to self must be placed on self-harm observation status by a physician's order. B. When less restrictive interventions do not provide enough external control to allow the inmate to assume adequate self-control, psychiatric restraint may be utilized. C. Security staff will apply the necessary restraints as authorized by clinical staff. D. Psychiatric restraints shall not be used as punishment, as an aversive stimulus, as a substitute for proper staff supervision, or as a means of controlling an overly active inmate when her/his over-activity poses no threat. E. The clinical lead staff member will advise the security lead staff member of any medical concerns/complications which may need to be taken into consideration when restraining the inmate. F. A clinical staff member must authorize the use of psychiatric restraint. When the situation permits, a psychiatrist, non-psychiatric physician, or other prescribing provider (e.g., advanced registered nurse practitioner, clinical associate) will provide a written or verbal order for the use of psychiatric restraint. G. In an emergency, restraints may be authorized by a senior psychologist, psychological specialist, registered nurse, or licensed practical nurse (a non- prescribing clinical staff member) in that order of availability if a prescribing clinician is not immediately available. If a non-prescribing clinical staff member authorizes the use of psychiatric restraint, then nursing staff must begin the process of obtaining a physician's order for psychiatric restraint within fifteen (15) minutes of initiating restraints. H. Clinical staff will determine the type of restraint to be utilized to best provide for the safety of the inmate and others in the least restrictive manner (see section "V"). I. Personal restraint will be utilized only for relatively brief periods of time, such as while an injection of medication is administered or pending the application of restraint devices. J.

HEALTH SERVICES BULLETIN NO: 15.05.10 Page 8 of 13 SUBJECT: PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT K. An inmate shall remain clothed when restrained. If the inmate has removed her/his clothing, a blanket or garment will be used to provide cover once the inmate is safely restrained. L. Use of psychiatric restraint devices requires placement in a certified isolation management room. M. Any inmate on a mental health inpatient unit who has been placed in psychiatric restraint devices must be referred to the inpatient unit's Risk Assessment Team and the inmate's Multidisciplinary Services Team for review at the next regularly scheduled meetings. The Multidisciplinary Service Team will conduct a review of the restraint incident to guide future interventions. The review will include a discussion of: 1. What actions might clinical and/or security staff be able to utilize to reduce the potential need for seclusion or restraint in the future? 2. What actions might the inmate be able to utilize to reduce the potential need for seclusion or restraint in the future? N. A professional manner will be maintained when communicating with an inmate who is being restrained. 1. The lead security or clinical staff member will advise the inmate that security staff will be placing the inmate into psychiatric restraints for her/his protection. 2. Security staff will communicate with the restrained inmate only as necessary to perform their role in applying restraints and in assisting clinical staff providing care to the restrained inmate. 3. The lead security and clinical staff members will calmly and concisely advise the inmate how to comply/assist with the use of restraint (e.g., "hold your arm still") and other communication necessary to provide for the inmate's safety and well-being. If feasible, the inmate should be given the opportunity to comply with commands before physical intervention is used 4. Once the inmate is restrained, the lead security or clinical staff will advise the inmate that she/he must remain calm for thirty (30) continuous minutes in order to be released from restraints. IX.

The greatest bike race in the world is held June 19 to July 21 this year. Celebrating its 100th year, the Tour de France sends riders through more than 2100 miles of countryside, hills, and mountains each summer.
Forget to turn in your entry form? No worries. PTC customer Pro-Form has figured out a way for all of us to ride Le Tour. And the good news is, you don't even have to get on an airplane to do it.
Pro-Form, known for its treadmills, has recently unveiled a line of exercise bikes, including Le Tour de France Indoor Bike. With the Pro-Form bike, you can simulate the 21-day race experience from your living room. You'll pedal with:
- Adjustable inclines and declines. The Pro-Form Le Tour de France Indoor Bike can rise up to a 20% incline—more than enough to get you up the daunting Alp-d'Huez. Twice.
- Hand gears and magnetic resistance options. Don't just spin–work like an elite racer.
- iFIT plus Google Maps. Preplan your route, track your progress, and enjoy the view as you travel through old villages, glide through fields of sunflowers, and take a victory lap around the Arc-de-Triomphe. Pro-Form's iFIT technology adjusts your incline to match the terrain automatically as you ride.
Fitness equipment has come a long way since Grandmother's stationary bike on the back porch. It's come so far, in fact, that Pro-Form's Le Tour de France Indoor Bike was included on Tech Toys 360, a Velocity Discovery show that features "vehicles, gadgets, and gear." That's right, an exercise bike among super cars, sexy electronics, and hot consumer robots.

I think this team has to learn how to lose before it can learn how to win.
Course, if the stars align we could pull a Boston like last year.
But my expectations are tempered.
I still think the ECF is very doable. I also think we have very good chance coming out of it(about 50 percent). Not sure about the SCF, depends on our opponent.
The only way this team wins it all, is if our offensive guys explode and our PP all of sudden becomes Godzilla against other teams. Unlikely, but ya never know.

The history of The Berlin Fruit Box Company is as unique as the baskets it produces.
This year, the company marked 150 years in business with a celebration this past weekend and a schedule of open houses for the first two weeks of December.
Founded by Samuel Patterson in 1858 -- before the presidency of Abraham Lincoln -- the basket weaving company started as a way to provide local fruits and vegetable growers with sturdy containers to carry their wares. As times changed, so did the means of transporting goods, with refrigerator trucks and pliable cardboard boxes.
We began making floral baskets, home baskets, tissue boxes, laundry hampers, musical baskets -- everything you can think of, president Matt Adelman said. The business changed with time to appeal to people "looking for gifts that are meant to last forever." he said.
Adelman, great-great-great grandson of Patterson, chatted politely with customers and old friends who visited the factory. He told them of two fires in 1900 and 1901, and when the building was completely lost to flames in 1968. He also talked about the company's status as the oldest basket-making business in Ohio and the second oldest in the nation.
"We've had are share of mishaps," he said.
"But we've always been in the exact same location, doing the same thing we've done since 1858 and more."
Those in attendance participated in tours, including a log veneering demonstration, wove their own home baskets, marveled the "The Music Box Basket," and sampled refreshments. Children were invited to get creative with ribbons, pipe cleaners and glitter by decorating their own free, farm baskets.
The Music Box Basket is featured as the company's 2008 Christmas Basket. It's the first basket woven from walnut and has a reversible lid with Christmas art by Thomas Kinkade on one side, and two mechanical music box tunes.
"By turning over the lid and switching the music, you don't have to put the basket away with all of the other Christmas decorations," Adelman said.
Martha Merriweather, Norwalk, admired the Mother's Day 2008 basket, with a rose laser-engraved on the lid.
"The baskets are so carefully put together," she said. "You can tell by glance whether something's good quality or not. I'm thoroughly impressed with what I've seen."
Adelman and his crew explained how fresh logs, brought from no farther away than 25 miles, are boiled and peeled into paper-thin sheets on a lathe. Up to 100 sheets can be stacked and cut into various-sized strips, ready to be woven. After going through a drying process, the strips are stamped with the company's logo and Patterson's signature--taken from his actual signature on a 1885 stock certificate -- woven, and stained in either walnut, hard maple or American black cherry. All the wood brought into the factory is used, whether for baskets or burned for steam.
Adelman said he can't pinpoint a specific moment that contributes to the company's success.
"To us, everyday is pretty special because we've had the opportunity to be around for so long," he said. "We're honored and very proud of what we do here. No matter what we're doing, we drop everything to take people on tours and show them what we do."

Where: 51 Mechanic Street, Berlin Heights

South Union man accused in 3 more incidents with girls
A pastor accused of having indecent contact with an 11-year-old girl is dealing with new allegations of sexual assault.
State police on Friday charged Ray Scott Teets, 66, of South Union with indecent assault stemming from incidents in 1999, 2005 and 2013, according to online court records.
Preliminary hearings that were to be held on Tuesday before Masontown District Judge Randy Abraham will be rescheduled.
Trooper Nathaniel Lieberum said on Tuesday that he identified three more female victims during an investigation into the initial complaint against Teets, who was working as a pastor at Fallen Timbers Community Church in Springhill. Lieberum declined additional comment.
In a June 1, 1999, incident, Teets allegedly had inappropriate contact with a girl younger than 13 in Springhill, according to online court records. Teets is being held in the Fayette County jail for the original case. In the 1999 incident, an additional $100,000 bond was set on charges of indecent assault and two counts of corruption of minors.
The next incident allegedly occurred on Dec. 5, 2005, in Georges Township, according to online court records. Teets faces two counts of indecent assault of a person younger than 13.
Four counts of corruption of minors were filed in connection with a Sept. 1, 2013, incident in Georges. Teets' bail was set at $100,000 for the 2005 and 2013 cases.
Teets originally was charged in November for allegedly attempting to touch a girl who attended Fallen Timbers Community Church on Nov. 6. He was ordered held for trial following a January preliminary hearing on those allegations, which he called "outrageous." He is being held on $250,000 bail in the jail on charges of attempted indecent assault, unlawful restraint, interference with custody of children, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor, concealment of the whereabouts of a child, child luring, stalking and defiant trespass.
State police allege that Teets took the girl, who is now 12, into a woodshed in Springhill, where he tried to touch her inappropriately on multiple occasions. A formal court arraignment is set for Feb. 20.

From: San Antono, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Septic Systems, Shrubs
Title: Tree for on top of sewer lines from San Antonio
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I am looking for an evergreen small tree with taproot to plant in a very small front yard near the sidewalk and possibly on top of or nearly on top of sewer lines. Would a Mt. Laurel be the choice? If not, what would you recommend?
We will recommend only trees native not only to North America but to the area of Bexar County TX. This is the commitment of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, home of Mr. Smarty Plants, to encourage plants native to an area because those plants will consume less water and other resources, as well as be adapted to the climate and soils there.
Most questions that we get have been asked, in one form or another, before. Here are three previous Mr. Smarty Plant answers to give you a feel for the difficulties you are going to encounter.
Mountain Laurel over sewer lines from Tucson AZ
Tree over lateral lines from Bulverde TX
Trees over leach field from Arkansas
You will notice that in the first one, we point out that Sophora secundiflora (Texas mountain laurel) has a taproot and is therefore very difficult to transplant. We are often asked for taproot trees that will be near pools or sewer lines; but our customers do not realize that taproot trees still have many feeder roots that go out for some distance and these are the roots that love to go shopping in sewer lines. Another difficulty is your request for an evergreen tree, which the Mountain Laurel is, of course, but there are not many others. Mountain Laurel is considered a shrub or small tree and there are a few other shrubs native to Bexar County that are evergreen and can grow tall enough to be considered trees. They are still woody plants, of course, but at least maybe not with quite such ferocious roots as trees might have. You will note that some of these are not exactly shade trees, but they are evergreen and provide blooms. Follow each plant link to our webpage on that plant to learn if it needs shade or sun, when it blooms and what its water requiremets are.
Evergreen shrubs for Bexar County:
Chrysactinia mexicana (Damianita)
Garrya ovata ssp. lindheimeri (Lindheimer's silktassel)
Leucophyllum frutescens (Cenizo)

Dwight Yoakam, Mike Stinson
Hard to believe it's been more than a quarter-century since Dwight Yoakam turned Nashville on its ear with the hard-charging Hillbilly Deluxe. You have to hand it to him: He's not one to rush things. It had been seven years since 2005's Blame the Vain, but he took the time to do it right on new album 3 Pears. Here Yoakam balances his hard-won honky-tonk maturity ("Waterfall," "Nothing But Love") with songs that retain a youthful spring in their step, and gives the year one of its most brilliant/awful puns in the title track. Yoakam's old L.A. buddy, adopted Houstonian Mike Stinson, opens with what we hope will be some new tunes from the album he's finished but has yet to release.

Much of my work focuses on designing conservation landscapes and protected area networks, especially as part of long-term projects in southeast Africa and the English Channel, and this research covers a wide range of topics from software development to guiding policy and implementation. I have worked on projects in 14 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe and this has given me a broad interest in the factors that affect conservation policy and practice. In particular, I have published work on the impacts of corruption, measuring project effectiveness, human-wildlife conflict, the role of positive incentives and how marketing influences the conservation agenda.

back to top
The majority of my research focuses on designing protected area networks and conservation landscapes using the systematic conservation planning approach. My current work involves running the conservation planning component of the PARCC West Africa project (Protected Areas Resilient to Climate Change) and working on a project funded by Natural England to investigate the trade-offs between different approaches for creating large conservation areas In addition, I run a long-term project working with local partners to design a transnational conservation planning system for the Maputaland Centre of Endemism, a region that falls within Mozambique, South Africa and Swaziland.
I am also interested in the broader aspects of identifying priority areas and my research has informed policy and practice at the local and global scale. I have published work on the importance of local involvement in conservation planning and I am collaborating with a range of partners on a project to identify trends and gaps in the global protected area network. I am also involved in a project led by the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) and the SpeciesSurvival Commission (SSC) to update the Key Biodiversity Area approach for identifying priority areas.
I have developed two software packages for identifying priority conservation areas and designing conservation landscapes and seascapes:
CLUZ (Conservation Land-Use Zoning software) is a user-friendly interface for the Marxan conservation planning software that also lets people develop and modify plans on-screen. This software was originally produced for the ArcView GIS software package but we are currently developing a new version for QGIS.
MinPatch is a stand-alone software package that lets users design viable protected area networks, where each protected area is larger than a specified minimum size threshold. It modifies outputs from the Marxan conservation planning software.
My work in Africa has also focused on large mammal conservation and I am particularly interested in human-wildlife conflict and understanding the spatial and anthropogenic factors that determine conservation success. My current research involves running an on-going project on understanding the factors that determine the rhino stocking decisions of private reserve managers in South Africa and supervising projects on elephant crop raiding in Kenya.
I am interested in how marketing is used in conservation and the role of flagship species for raising funds and awareness. As part of this work I led a project that developed the concept of "Cinderella Species", which are aesthetically appealing but currently overlooked species that could be used in future flagship species campaigns.
I have also published work on the role of positive incentives in conservation, the impact of corruption on conservation success and predicting deforestation patterns. I continue to have an interest in these topics, especially when they have a spatial element that can be analysed using geographic information systems.

Gallery: LOT-EK's Nine Level Shipping Container Mall for New York City
2 Comments
November 16, 2010 at 2:33 pm
If you are considering modular or prefab home, or looking for an alternative to high cost construction, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at. There are many considerations that have contributed to the appeal of building with intermodal shipping containers – availability, standardization, the recycled/green factor, economy and speed of construction, their durability, and even their "elegance/grace".
Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURE.
Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles. They have something new that you can setup your own project wiki to get help with your project if you are considering a design build project.

Great idea… but that space they are showing this mall at has a brand new building that went up recently.. do they plan to knock that down?

Israeli Rabbis Greet Irans President Ahmadinejahd in NYC on Yom Kippur
2012-10-04 0:00
In a video you wont see on CNN or ABC, Israeli Sephardic Rabbis Greeted Ahmadinejahd in New York City on Yom Kippur.
Irans President was visibly moved by the emotional prayers for peace and friendship spoken by the Israeli Rabbis. The Sephardic Rabbis praised Irans leaders for 1,000 years of peaceful relations with 50,000 Jewish families in Tehran.
This extraordinary event might account for Ahmedinejahds subdued criticism of Israel in his speech on the floor of the United Nations later that day. Major media have observed that Irans President only briefly mentioned Israel once. Nobody asked why he might have softened his tone.

Ed O'Neill: The Straight Man
The "Modern Family" actor -- and first-time Emmy nominee -- explains comedy and how it feels to get his Walk of Fame star.
If the Pittsburgh Steelers hadn't cut the Youngstown State rookie defensive lineman from their training camp roster in 1969, when he was 23, Ed O'Neill's career path might not have led to TV stardom in Married … With Children, Modern Family (season two of which arrives Sept. 20 on DVD and Blu-ray) and more than 50 other film and TV roles. For his efforts, the first-time Emmy nominee, 65, is being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As he recently drove to a Modern Family table read that has the clan heading to a Western dude ranch in the show's second fall episode, O'Neill spoke to THR about his career.
Was it devastating to be cut from the Steelers?
I suppose it was because I didn't know what else I was going to do. I was adrift for a while. I worked as a substitute teacher; I sold cars. Then I saw an ad in the paper for The Rainmaker at the local playhouse. I had done some acting in high school. I was terrible. Eventually, I got better and started playing lead roles. One thing led to another, and Bill Friedkin saw me in Knockout on Broadway and put me in the [1980 film] Cruising with Al Pacino.
Last year, there was much hullabaloo over you not being nominated for an Emmy. Do you feel a bit vindicated?
If you had told me, "Every adult member of the cast will be nominated but you," I would have said, "I'll take that bet." When it happened, I found it amusing. This year, when we all got nominated, I was glad because it's less stuff to bother with. If I had been excluded again, I would have been faced with people talking about it a lot. It worked out better this way.
Was it an intentional strategy to have everyone submit in the supporting actor categories?
I don't think so. They asked me what category I wanted to be in, lead or supporting. I said, "We're all doing the same thing; it's a true ensemble." I don't have the balls to say I should be up for best actor and the rest should be up for best supporting.
Do you think being funny is a learned or innate trait?
Honestly, I think it's innate. I do know that when I was a boy, I had very funny uncles. I used to love to hear them tell stories and would emulate them. Early on, I was kind of funny -- not in jokey ways but in storytelling.
Are you a joke teller?
I was never a joke teller. I don't even like jokes, for the most part. I don't like to hear them, and rarely can I even remember one.
Do you consider yourself a comedian?
No. I always think of myself as an actor first. If I'm out socially with a bunch of comedians, I don't say two words. I just let them do their bits.
So you're the straight man.
I am, in a sense. The character of Jay Pritchett [on Modern Family] is a guy who lets everything roll and revolve around him. There can be a lot of high jinks going on, and he just tries to keep everything calm. It affords me the real luxury of underplaying a lot, which is my favorite kind of acting.
It's just more fun, real and interesting. It feels better to me than big stuff. There's a place for big stuff, but you have to be judicious with it. It can get away from you.
Who are your comedy icons?
Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis. I always loved that straight-man/funny-guy setup.
What do you watch?
Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David just makes me laugh. I don't watch a lot of the network shows, but I do watch our show.
Is it weird to watch yourself on TV?
No, I'm used to it. But there are some things that I've done that I have trouble watching.
Like what?
There's a [1991] movie I did with John Hughes called Dutch. Then there's a [1989] movie I did for Disney called Disorganized Crime. I'm terrible -- the whole thing is over the top. I should have known better, but I went with it and it was horrible.
How to you feel about getting the Walk of Fame honor?
I was a little taken aback when my manager called me six months ago and said, "Hey, they want to give you a star." I said, "Why?" And he said, "Well, you know, you've been around and you've done things."

LED Notification Light?
Looking at the hands-on photos from yesterday's event, I noticed what looks like a blue LED on the top right of the phone. It's on in some pictures and off in others. I'm hoping it's a notification light, but can't be sure... can anyone confirm either way? It looks like it might only be on when plugged in. I've also read that it might be an IR sensor.

area was convenient to what we was going for.
Wi-fi only works if you're close to front office, doors in room all had holes punched in them, shower curtain had mold on it
Absolutely nothing!Or maybe that there was a room available with a roof obver my head for the night. but, that is about it.
It's old. outdated televisions as well.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating .the location was within a mile our two off almost everything one could need. The beach was also a short distance. I also liked that there was an area set up outside each room to sit out in our case bring young kids to let out energy at the end of the day.l
Keeping in mind the low cost of this place especially last minute arrangements during a popular week this place was money well spent.muy complaints would be that it could use some serious updating as well as a coffee maker. My real issue would be that me and my granskids were waking up with bug bites every morning.I talked f to the staff/office about this when I noticed that mattresses were being brought out off the rooms and lasted out on tables. My concern was bed bugs and after looking into it further and making calls I did what was recommended to minimize bringing anything home and only time will tell.
A good deal for the price....but when I asked about staying an extra day they wanted to raise the price 30%...not cool. I checked out and went else where.
The location, close to everything.
Yes, the bathrooms. Poor layout. No counters to speak of, and no light above the sinks. Hair Dryer by the light switch when you come in and the sink is on the other wall. Very poorly designed.
Nothing!! Wait, take that back, they did move me to another room AFTER I was robbed at gunpoint 1 block from the hotel and the gunman had my room key!
The staff was rude, the room was awful, I GOT BED BUG BITES. I have photos. When I complained to the front desk, they said the last guest did not complain or the quest after me did not complain, so it must not be 'that bad' or 'resolved'.
There were bed bugs. I ended up with bites all on my ankles and back.
The food was great, superb breakfast, gorgeous oceanfront area, nice clean pool, pretty room, gorgeous four post canopy king bed, very comfortable! I really enjoyed our stay!
The dinner was a little pricey but still very good and great service!
Great stay the staff was very nice even though they were really busy, it took me a while to get into my room because they had to clean it. But the lady at the front desk went up and cleaned it herself, and even let me have a later check out. A wonderful was to celebrate my anniversary
wish i could have stayed longer
Nice sized rooms, easy to get around the hotel. Super friendly staff
It might have been due to spring breakers, but parking at night was crowded and usually had to park across the street. I never saw the tiki bar open, it was more of a shade for folks to charge their phones. And the breakfast was pretty small.
One of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. Wires were poking out of the wall, floor was extremely dirty, plywood was used for the vanity in the bathroom. We couldn't wait to leave.
My husband and I wanted a nice, quick couple of days in Daytona. We could not have asked for anything more from this location. There was NOTHING I would have wanted more about our stay. Will definitely come back and stay here.
No !!!
ocean view
shower VERY small not enough electrical outlets
Great location, easy parking and all the staff were very professional.
The pools were very nice, sauna and hot tub were great, workout room was ok, BBQ grills were fantastic and super clean, beach area was clean, and easy, ample parking.
The wireless Internet was not so great. Had a difficult time connecting to any of our devices (laptops, smartphones, and i-pad).
Staff was courteous and the beds were clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was not good at all. But we recognize for the value and money saved on room rate we should not have expected omelet station or something like that.
I liked everything. It was a little outdated, but wasn't bad. Overall I would stay again
The indoor pool
The first room the kitchen was rusty and hair on the sheets. Moved to a different room which was better but the floor was dirty. Overall not that good at all .
Priced why to high for what you get !
Proximity to beach
