The Importance of Social Support for Prisoner Reentry: The Effects of Visitation on Offender Recidivism
Duwe, Grant, Clark, Valerie, Corrections Today
During the last several decades, the expanding prison population has resulted in a record number of former inmates attempting to reintegrate back into communities. (1) The capacity of state and federal correctional systems to manage prisoner reentry has not kept. pace with the increasing number of returning prisoners. (2) Supervision agents, who are often overwhelmed with large caseloads, must focus exclusively on supervision. and are unable to assist with the reentry process. (3) Communities are reluctant to accept convicted felons, and released prisoners are not eligible for many forms of public assistance. (4)
Saddled with large budget deficits in the wake of the recent financial crisis, many states are realizing the high cost of housing record numbers of prisoners. (5) Reducing prison populations, and thereby reducing corrections spending, has become a central concern for many states. Newly released offenders, however, are often unprepared for life outside the prison. (6) Returning prisoners face a number of obstacles to successful reintegration, including unemployment, debt, homelessness, substance abuse and family conflict. (7) Indeed, research has shown that roughly two-thirds of prisoners will be rearrested within three years of release. (8)
Findings from recent research, however, underscore the importance of social support in helping offenders desist from crime and, more narrowly, recidivism. (9) Social bonds and social support are common elements in many criminological theories, both as a key to crime prevention and a mechanism for desistance from crime. Social control theory suggests, for example, that an individual's attachment, or bond, to a conventional lifestyle prevents him or her from offending, (10) whereas general strain theory proposes that family bonds and social support help ease the stresses related to reentry, making prisoners less likely to engage in subsequent criminal behavior. (11) Life course theorists, meanwhile, view the release from prison as a potential turning point in the lives of offenders in which attachment to family members could provide them both the opportunity and incentive to desist from crime. (12)
While offenders are in prison, visits from family and friends offer a means of establishing, maintaining or enhancing social support networks. Strengthening social bonds for incarcerated offenders may be important not only because it can help prevent them from assuming a criminal identity, (13) but also because many released prisoners rely on family and friends for employment opportunities, financial assistance and housing. (14) Anywhere from 40 to 80 percent of newly released offenders rely on their families immediately after release. (15)
Previous research on prison visitation and recidivism. Decades of research indicate that visits from family improve institutional behavior and lower the likelihood of recidivism for inmates. (16) More recent research has found similar results. Bales and Mears (2008) (17) examined the effects of prison visitation on recidivism among 7,000 Florida state prison inmates who were serving at least a one-year sentence. Looking only at visits that occurred during the final year of incarceration, Bales and Mears found that any and more frequent visits during the last year of imprisonment significantly reduced the risk of recidivism. Visits that occurred close to the time of release had the strongest effect on recidivism. Following up on this study, Mears, Cochran, Siennick and Bales (2011) (18) used propensity score matching to assess the effects of visitation on recidivism. They found that visitation had a modest effect on all types of recidivism, particularly property offending.
In another recent study, Derkzen, Gobeil and Gileno (2009) compared post-release outcomes among 6,537 Canadian inmates who did not receive any visits, inmates who received standard prison visits, and inmates who received special private family visits. …

TIDYING UP THE ARTICLE[edit]
Please allow my edits which make the artcle more consistent and readable, EG why to have a 19th to 20th century paragraph when we can write the history under models???
Also the reference to the Krag was giving the WRONG impression that it was a black powder rifle!!!! The mauser was clearly better than the springfield only! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 12:33, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Surely this is wrong? "What was to become a Mauser factory started on July 31, 1811, when Friedrich I of Württemberg established a royal weapons factory in Oberndorf, a small town in the Prussian Black Forest. The factory opened for business the next year, employing 133 workers." The Black Forest is in Wurtemberg, which is why the King of Wurtemberg chose it for his factory. I have removed the Prussian reference.
Its an widespread misunderstanding that the ammunition for mauser rifle is called 7,92x57J. In fact the correct name is 7,92x57I. The "I" is an abrivation for "infantry" or "infantry-spitz" (IS) as the later version of the round was called. The reason for this misunderstanding is probably the marking that the Germans used on their cartridges, which looks like a "J" but actually is a capital I.
If nobody opposes that, I will change the "J" to "I".

Hi - I've got a collection of Mausers, including more than a few models you don't have anything on here yet. Any objections if I take some photos similar to what you have on the page, and write somethign up in a consistant style with what you have? Do you want to get into subvarients - like the 4 types of Swedish Mauser, for instance?
The more the merrier! At least thats my opinion --Rain 04:18, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
While you are correct, the standards bodies CIP and SAAMI both use J now. It is an accident of history we have to live with. To be pedantic, pre-WWII references should use "I" and post-WWII references should use "J". I describe why in the 8x57 entry.
I'm going to fix the glaring Commission 88 Mauser (ugh) error. There was an 1888 Mauser, but it was not the rifle the Commission invented. The Model 1888 was influenced by Mauser, Mannlicher, and other designs, but it most certainly was never a Mauser. --HangFire 04:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
are you sure karbine kurtz is correct?[edit]
i thought the the karbine kurtz was the extremely short version of the rifle not the standard version... can sombody check this Gimpy117 01:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
german is my native language and this word sounds really strange... how about Wehrmannsgewehr (which would also be a strange name)?
Image sizes changed[edit]
Changed the image resolutions to 300 pixels, if you have at least 1024 x 768 you should be fine. --Chinese3126 23:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
This topic needs serious corrections.[edit]
"...and the similar Model 95 was sold to Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, China, Iran and the South African states of Transvaal and The Orange Free State (Boers)."
The 1895 model Mauser was never purchased or used by any South African or Boer group. They used the 1893 model. Even the Ludwig Loewe Model 1896 as marked on the side rail were model 1893 design rifles.
In the Swedish section- again- errors. Swedish Mauser production did not start until 1898. They could hardly have been using it since 1896. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DutchSwedishMauser (talk • contribs) 22:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Sweden took delivery of contract-produced M/96 rifles and M94 carbines manufactured by Mauserwerke well before 1898. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Argentine models[edit]
Hi, I was wondering if it'd be OK if I add to the article (when I found them) pics of the two argentine Mauser models mentioned in the article. Regards, DPdH (talk) 09:45, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
"The factory was built in an Augustine cloister and was chosen because it was very stoutly built and was ideal for arms production."
— Why were stout walls ideal for arms production? Is this an allusion to powder explosions? Wouldn't that be relevant to an ammunition factory?
Sca (talk) 14:58, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Model vs. Modell[edit]
Should spelling of "Model" (or "Modell") be consistent in sections 1.1.12 Type A, Model B, Model K, Armee-Model C, Africa-Model and 1.1.13 Modell M and Modell S? If so, which? — Robert Greer (talk) 20:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Historical Point[edit]
"Where the devil did this '7.92' term slip into use?" The GRC original specification for the bore was and remains '7.9'(indicating '7.90'). When the rifling/bullet diameter was increased, that was changed from '8.1' to '8.2'(as in '8.20', not the '8.22' mislabel used by some), but the bore diameter remained unchanged./Much 20th century referencing, including war years [WWII] British (with their consistent use of bore measure for identifying arms and munitions) writings noting '7.9'. This same notation applies equally to the 8X33 Kurz as the extension of the German defacto standard '8.20' bullet diameter is in use with this cartridge. Robert D. Lawry, thank you very much220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Common Usage[edit]
Back when I was a kid in New Delhi, we used to get these plastic pistols that would shoot plastic pellets. These were almost exclusively referred to as "Mausers". Like lip-balm is always referred to as Chapstick or pocket tissues are always referred to as Tempo. I have no source for this, but I find it interesting that these plastic toys were called "Mausers" instead of "Brownings" or "Walter PPKs" or "Glocks" or "Berettas". Can anyone find a source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:38, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

M98, the most produced rifle in history?[edit]
I've come across several articles (in both Swedish and American hunting magazines) that states that the M98 is the most produced rifle in history, with over 100 million produced. I suspect that this is a figure for all rifles with the 98-system (or the the whole M98 family of rifles), but I am not sure. I would like to add this figure somewhere, but I do not know in which article it should be added and how it should be explained so that it does not mislead anyone. Can anyone help me?EriFr (talk) 08:30, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- The text of the first article implies to me that all variants and derivatives using the Mauser 98 bolt design (it mentions the [[Pattern 1914 Enfield|P14 Enfield]) are counted to get to the unspecified large number. The P14 article says (my emphasis added) of that gun " The action was essentially a Mauser design with some Lee features and optimised for rapid fire, with the action cocking on closing, a feature highly valued by the British Army with its emphasis on riflemen highly trained for rapid fire, but less valued in other armies, such as the US or Germany, where cock-on-opening designs such as the M1903 Springfield and Mauser 98 were preferred". GraemeLeggett (talk) 11:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Much of the Rifles section should be split off or merged into separate articles.[edit]
For example, the Spanish Mauser. And the 1898 is very lengthy, despite having its own article already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goldenbirdman (talk • contribs) 03:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Shawn Hargreaves Blog
I want to talk about the XNA Framework Content Pipeline! I do, I do, I do!
But apparently Michael is working on an overview post, so I'm going to wait for that before diving into any details. In the meantime, I decided to talk about some of the background assumptions that went into our design.
Game content (by which I mean graphics, sounds, physics settings, AI data – basically everything that isn't your actual code) is created in a DCC (Digital Content Creation) tool. This could be Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Milkshape, Paintshop Pro, MSPaint, the Visual Studio XML editor, Notepad, or perhaps even a custom editor written just for your game.
After it has been created, this content is then used by your game.
So where's the problem? Why do we need a pipeline here at all? In fact what even is a "pipeline"? Should environmentalists be worried about potential impacts on the Alaskan wilderness?
The fundamental issue here is that DCC tools tend not to create content in the right format for games. For instance:
Those examples are just off the top of my head: there are many more. I'm sure you get the point that lots of conversion work is needed before a game can use data out of a DCC tool.
So tell me, I hear you cry, how and where should this work be done?
There are really only three possible options.
Anyone care to venture a guess which approach we chose for XNA?
As I wrote the other day, I'd like to help out people that are having trouble understanding the content

Silent Circle Announces Strategic European Carrier Partnership With KPN KPN will offer privacy-focused Blackphone handsets to its 44.5M subscribers, resell Silent Circle's mobile device privacy apps and support Silent Circle's forthcoming European Out-Circle Access service PR Newswire WASHINGTON and THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Feb. 19, 2014 WASHINGTON and THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Silent Circle, the global private communications firm revolutionizing mobile device privacy and security for organizations and individuals alike, today announced a strategic partnership with Dutch telecommunications carrier KPN N.V. The partnership makes KPN the inaugural carrier partner for Blackphone - the world's first privacy-focused smartphone - developed through a Switzerland-based joint-venture of Silent Circle and Geeksphone and launching on Feb. 24 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. KPN will distribute Blackphone handsets to individuals and enterprises among its 44.5 million subscribers across Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands and resell Silent Circle's encrypted mobile apps and services like Silent Phone and Silent Text to give its customers a full range of privacy options for their sensitive business and personal communications. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121016/LA92632LOGO) "KPN believes and is committed to secure and reliable communications for everyone," said Jaya Baloo, KPN's Chief Information Security Officer. "Customers want to protect their sensitive and private information in the best possible way. This is a unique opportunity to offer encrypted voice, data, and video through our exclusive cooperation with Silent Circle, and KPN can once again pioneer in the global telecommunications arena." "This unique partnership demonstrates that KPN is one of the most innovative telecoms in the world," said Silent Circle CEO and co-founder Mike Janke. "They have one of the world's strongest privacy and security commitments of any telecom, lead by their CEO Eelco Blok and their CSO Jaya Baloo. This further showcases KPN's commitment to bringing privacy and secure communications to the citizens of Europe." KPN will help meet high European demand for Blackphone and its wireless subscribers can additionally use their existing customer accounts to purchase the Silent Circle Mobile package, which includes Silent Phone and Silent Text and gain a full range of private communications features for their iOS or Android devices. KPN users can place private voice and video calls with Silent Phone and exchange private text messages with Silent Text, including support for file transfers up to 100MB and additional "Burn Notice" auto-delete protection for documents and multimedia files. To ensure complete privacy, Silent Circle's apps and services never log user metadata and manage encryption keys exclusively on users' devices; meaning Silent Circle and its carrier partners cannot decipher the contents of users' calls and messages. Silent Circle's partnership with KPN underscores the companies' shared commitment to protecting customers' privacy and further establishes Silent Circle's leadership in offering an unmatched, private encrypted platform meeting worldwide demand for secure alternatives to vulnerable communications mediums. Through their partnership, the companies will leverage KPN's network infrastructure to deliver a dedicated Silent Circle Out-Circle Access calling option for the European market in 2014. Out-Circle access allows a Silent Phone subscriber to place calls to traditional landlines, cell and other phone numbers. These calls "Outside the Circle" are encrypted from the Silent Phone user's handset to the edge of Silent Circle's secure private network in a given region, before they are routed to conventional phone systems. With KPN's support, European Out-Circle Access will add an additional measure of convenience for Silent Phone users requiring the ability to call conventional numbers in Europe and elsewhere. ABOUT KPN KPN is the leading telecommunications and ICT service provider in the Netherlands, offering wireline and wireless telephony, internet and TV to consumers and end-to-end telecom and ICT services to business customers.

Just a question to the Kodachrome experts.
Was Kodachrome 25 available in 4x5 and if so during what era?
Printable View
Just a question to the Kodachrome experts.
Was Kodachrome 25 available in 4x5 and if so during what era?
10x8 as well not sure for how long but mid to late40's onwards, AA & Weston shot 10x8 Kodachromes
Was it Kodachrme 25 though.
Definitely not :D It was plain Kodachrome. I think it was about 12 ASA, Ron (PE) would know more.
'A Half Century of Color' by Dr Louis Walton Sipley (1951) states that Kodachrome became available in sheet form in September 1938, sizes from 2.25 x 3.25" up to 11 x 14". It was in tungsten as well as daylight. Speed isn't mentioned, but I think Ian's correct, it was much lower in it's first incarnation.
There's a timeline for Kodachrome production on wikipedia. Can't vouch for its accuracy. It says sheet film Kodachrome was available from 1938 to 1951 in daylight balance (ASA 8) and Type B (3200K ASA 10).
When Kodachrome II came out, Ernst Haas bought a refrigerator or two to store all of the original Kodachrome he could find.
So 'Panic buy because the Yellow Men want to destroy us' has earlier origins than most of us thought :-D
Kodachrome clearly wasn't needed because the fast fading Ektachrome was available in sheet film sizes.
No. The sheet film Kodachrome was ASA 10 speed. I think it used the K-11 process. It was last seen in the early 1950s. Kodachrome 25 appeared around 1970 and was the first to us process K-14. The Ektachrome from the late 40s and early 50s was ASA 8 and used process E-1.

Noisy injectors (rattling), misted up headlights, corroded/noisy discs which at 99k miles have been changed at least twice anyway. Great car...enjoy and welcome t'cloob.

The potential biggy is the head gasket problem on the 2.2 - just how big a problem it is only Toyota know for sure but I suspect it maybe something like 1 in 20 cars as it's common enough for all the dealers to be aware of it & Toyota to apparently have a policy regarding it but not big enough for them to recall & replace them all.
The problem with modern high pressure diesels (& as true of Ford, Vauxhall, VW etc. etc.) is that with turbos, high pressure injectors etc. when they go wrong they go wrong expensively. If they aren't under warranty the extra cost of fixing them may well negate all your fuel/road tax savings of a diesel over petrol.
As a 2008 car yours would either still be under warranty or if under 100,000 miles at start eligible for Toyota's extended warranty.
Tyre wear for me doesn't seem any worse than any other similarly sized & shod fwd.
As standard the headlights are pretty poor but upgraded bulbs will make a big difference to the area within the beam pattern.
Brakes aren't that great either - very little feel. Again all modern cars go through discs/pads more than older cars - it's due to the change to non-asbestos pads & a different style of caliper.
A few of us are trying different disks & pads atm to see if there is an improvement.

text: Man Shot in Fight About 18th-Century Philosopher Plus: more weird Russian attacks By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Sep 16, 2013 4:50 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (23) (Newser) – A spate of odd news today concerning attacks in Russia: one on a dance floor, three in a cemetery, and another over a philosopher. Two 20-something men in line for beers at a festival in southern Russia, got in a heated dispute about 18th-century philosopher Immanuel Kant. The feud "deteriorated into a fistfight," police said today, and one of the men eventually shot the other in the head with an air gun—multiple times, the AP notes. The victim survived; the attacker could be in prison for a decade, RIA Novosti adds. Police arrested a 36-year-old woman after she allegedly stabbed another woman at a birthday party; the 21-year-old victim was apparently dancing with the attacker's boyfriend, RIA Novosti reports. The alleged attacker "took a knife, approached the dancing woman, and stabbed her twice," investigators say. The victim died in the hospital. A guilty verdict could mean 15 years in prison for the suspect. A man has been convicted of killing his mother, brother, and father in a cemetery. They were reportedly living in the graveyard after he evicted them, and when his mother accused him of the eviction, he hit her. His brother stepped in, and the man ended up stabbing both of them—and killing his father, who'd seen the attack. The suspect has been sentenced to life in prison, RIA Novosti reports.

26, and started in about 2001 with my dad's AE-1. I think he started me thinking about film; loved Kodachrome, never shot Ektachrome, and I'm grateful to have many slide carousels of he and my mom's early vacations before the kids.
I've always been interested in photography as I've seen it in museums. In those places, analog still rules, and that level of quality has always enticed me.
I'll gladly buy a digital SLR when I can have one that handles exactly like a 60s/70s SLR. Shutter speed dial, aperture ring on lens, manual focusing, simple meter.

Next-gen Dell XPS exposed
updated 03:40 pm EDT, Wed August 22, 2007
Next-gen Dell XPS exposed
Images and specifications have filtered out for Dell's next-generation XPS system, representing the peak performance of the builder's lineup. Key to the XPS 420 is the unusual addition of the Xcelerator, a dedicated transcoding processor that converts to MPEG-4. It is claimed that when encoding a two-hour HD movie, the Xcelerator halves the amount of time required, and also utilizes less CPU power.
Options for the processor include Core 2 Duo, Extreme and Quad chipsets, with an L2 cache as large as 8MB. The motherboard is an X38 Express with up to 8GB of DDR2 800 RAM, and ports available include eSATA, front and rear FireWire connections, and 10 USB ports split between front, rear and inside. SATA II architecture supports RAID 0 and 1 configurations.
Another oddity is the MiniView, a Windows SideShow display that by default shows information about the time, date and basic system statistics. It can also provide info on figures such as CPU temperature and available RAM, and control basic media functions without having to touch the keyboard or mouse. No prices or release dates have been suggested. [via Engadget]

LAS CRUCES >> John Wade Crist, 57, of Las Cruces was sentenced Tuesday in Las Cruces federal court for his conviction on methamphetamine trafficking and firearms charges. Crist will serve a 78-month prison sentence that will be followed by four years of supervised release, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Crist was arrested on Nov. 15, 2013, on a two-count indictment charging him with distribution of methamphetamine and being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to the indictment, Crist distributed methamphetamine and possessed a firearm in Doña Ana County on June 19, 2013. At the time, Crist was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he previously had been convicted of two narcotics trafficking offenses.
On May 7, Crist entered a guilty plea to the indictment. In his plea agreement, Crist admitted selling 23.3 grams of methamphetamine to an undercover officer who was posing as a drug dealer. Crist also admitted that he possessed a shotgun and sold the firearm to the undercover officer.
The case was investigated by the Las Cruces office of the FBI and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Maria Y. Armijo of the U.S. Attorney's Las Cruces Branch Office.

"I love the availability of hours in the Writing Center and how everyone is so friendly. This is my fourth time, and I really appreciate all the help I can receive."
"[The tutor] was very nice and helpful and allowed me to think and write in my own words."
"I found that the writing center understood my learning disabilities. Not once did I ever have to explain myself. When I used their services, I always felt comfortable sharing my papers. As a student, writing can be difficult to share, so for the tutors to make me feel comfortable really helped my situation."
"I had a very friendly tutor who helped me with all my questions. Thank you! Very helpful if English is not your native language."
"The tutors are really nice and don't tell you what to do. They make you think about it. [The tutor] was really positive and really helpful in helping me make my paper stronger."
"She helped me get through the problems with punctuation without making me feel stupid."
"She was very encouraging and very helpful. I learned so much in the short time we worked."
"She [the tutor] pointed out problems within my paper, yet made me think about why it was a problem. This will help me not make the mistake in the future. She was just genuinely very helpful and nice."
"They helped me break down my overwhelming paper into parts I can handle."
"I have sought their help on many papers throughout the course of the school year. Every time I receive their help, I learn more about writing."
"What was most helpful was that the tutor took the time to allow me to find my own mistakes. She also made sure that I was understanding suggestions that she made."
"I am really glad the college has a writing center. If there was no writing center, I would have an extremely hard time passing English 102."

Gordon sits down to sample the food and is shocked to hear that Sebastian greets every customer who walks through the door, he wonders how in a packed restaurant he would have the time. Gordon is not impressed with the pictures on the menu which he says is usually a sign to "get the f*** out of there." Sebastian introduces his menu "concept" to Gordon, where you can choose different combinations of meats, sauces, sides and more on the menu, offering an infinite choice of how you would like your meal. Gordon is shocked and merely puts his face in his hands. Gordon orders the calamari as Sebastian tells him it is fresh, a New York strip steak and any pizza they choose. After placing his order he chats to waitress Sonia and finds out she is actress. She tells Gordon that the calamari is in fact frozen and after one bite Gordon sends it back after asking Sonia for a sick bag. Next comes the "Popeye Pizza" which Gordon finds watery and he doesn't think the base is fresh, this frustrates Gordon as they have a wood burning over and pizza is supposedly their speciality. Gordon's steak arrives and is already cut into pieces, Gordon says that it looks like dog food and is an embarrassment. Gordon tells Sebastian that he hopes he can act because he can't cook, Sebastian's defence is that he doesn't have money to buy fresh calamari or make fresh pizza dough, he has to buy it frozen. Gordon thought that pizza was their speciality but Sebastian tells him that it is the menu concept that is their speciality. Sebastian tells Gordon that he hopes one to sell his pizzas in supermarkets all over the world. This leads to a big argument and Gordon realises that Sebastian is slightly delusional.
Gordon arrives to witness a dinner service and sees the waitresses struggling to explain the menu concept to the customers, on some tables it takes up to 15 minutes and the customers aren't impressed either. Gordon is impressed with how Chef Lou keeps control over the busy service but not impressed to see that everything single dish is made from frozen ingredients. Gordon looks in the freezer and it is packed with frozen foods. Sebastian wants to impress Gordon so sends Lou off to work another station and attempts to regain control. It is a disaster, he serves a salad with his hair in and over $300 of food given away due to his mistakes. Gordon notices that the wood burning ovens aren't used and the microwaves are constantly in use. Sebastian disappears onto the patio to drink with his friends which annoys Gordon who goes and gets him and brings him back into the kitchen. Gordon brings Sebastian back in to taste his bought in mashed potatoes, Sebastian sees nothing wrong with them; Gordon says they are disgusting and spits them back out. Gordon tells him that 95% of the food is frozen and Sebastian says he doesn't care about the food as long as he can go and meet customers and keep them happy. Gordon sits down the staff and tells them that they first big change is a new menu and Sebastian does not appear to be pleased. Gordon attempts to persuade Sebastian that they restaurants speciality should be wood burning oven cooked pizza. He also brings in professional pizza tossers to show the staff how to toss pizza, Lou and the staff have a lot of fun learning. Overnight, the restaurant is given a makeover and a new fresh dough mixer is unveiled, leaving Lou in tears. Gordon unveils a new, photo less menu focussing on the wood burning ovens which Sebastian is not happy about, not seeing any "uniqueness".
For relaunch night, Gordon rolls out a red carpet in honour of the relaunch falling on the same night as the Academy Awards. Whilst the kitchen is preparing Sebastian is hoovering, ranting and shouting at his staff. As the customers arrive Sebastian is hidden out the back and Gordon tells him to step up and take control of the kitchen. The new simple menu is a hit and flies out of the kitchen to happy customers. Everyone is pleased with relaunch except Sebastian who wants to go back to the old menu and begins to pull food out the freezer and revert back to the microwave. The kitchen becomes confused as the two menus conflict. Gordon is not pleased at all when he discovers that he has tried to revert to the old menu jeopardising the relaunch. Gordon tries to talk sense into him but tells him that he has never met someone he believes in as little as Sebastian and he will just go back to his old ways. Sebastian is furious and chases after Gordon shouting and screaming at him and getting right in his face. Gordon returns and Sebastian finally realises that Gordon is right and he needs to change. He returns to the kitchen and gets to work turning around the service. The relaunch is deemed a success with Lou being recognised as the key player in that success.
What Happened Next? After Gordon left, the old menu returned with the combination concept back on the menu. The restaurant closed in January 2008 for "family reasons" as the family returned to Boston. Chef Q is seen in Season 4 of Kitchen Nightmares in a revisited episode as the Head Chef at Casa Roma and says Sebastian just disappeared. It looks like Sebastian is now running a Tree Removal/Landscaping company and a financial/business consulting firm with wife Nichole. Sebastian had a role in 2013 movie Angels Around Me as a detective.
Sebastian's became Robano's, an italian/pizza restaurant and judging from photos on their facebook they kept a lot of Gordons décor.They serve pizza using the pizza ovens and the feature is pizza by the slice, the reviews are mostly 1-3 stars on Yelp.

Cabbage Soup Diet
The very definition of an ill-advised fad diet.
Look up the definition of fad diet and you'll see a picture illustrating the Cabbage Soup Diet. It should not be followed as a long-term eating plan, as it is dangerously low in calories and could do more harm than good. It is possible to lose 10 pounds in a week when you stick to this uber-low calorie plan.
The Cabbage Soup Diet does offer fast weight loss, but it is completely lacking in nutrition, flavor and variety. You'll consume mostly soups of cabbage, onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes and mushrooms. Nutritionists argue that the pounds shed are more likely attributed to the dramatic and dangerous loss in calories and not the proposed fat-burning power found in the cabbage. This diet deprives your body of essential nutrients and has been correlated to difficulty concentrating, feeling light-headed and weak.
- You will lose weight
- Unhealthy
- Dangerously caloric intake
- Primarily losing water weight
- Will regain lost weight if don't stick to healthy eating and exercise following completion
- Does not promote exercise; would be too weak to do so
The one-week Cabbage Soup Diet relies on this simple plan:
Day One All-you-can-eat soup and fruit (no bananas). Consume plenty of water, cranberry juice and unsweetened tea.
Day Two Consume all the soup and vegetables you like (no beans, peas or corn). Have a buttered baked potato with dinner. No fruit today.
Day Three Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you like, nothing else.
Day Four Eat your soup, no more than eight bananas and all the skim milk you want.
Day Five Have at least one serving of soup today. You can also have 10-20 ounces of skinless chicken or beef and no more than six tomatoes. Drink plenty of water.
Day Six Eat plenty of vegetables and your servings of beef. Today is the day you can go a bit overboard with the meat (2 steaks if you like) - just make sure to add salad and vegetables. Stay away from the carbs - no fries, potatoes, etc.
Day Seven Have at least one serving of soup. Only eat brown rice, vegetables and unsweetened fruit juice.
No recommendations are made. Given the severely low calories you'll be consuming, you likely won't have the strength for physical activity.CONCLUSION
For rapid weight loss as a jump-start to a more healthy eating plan, the Cabbage Soup Diet could possibly be a solution. However, fasting or liquid diets like Cabbage Soup promising dramatic weight loss results in only a week are typically only helping you shed water weight. This weight will creep right back on once you stop the diet and continue with previous poor eating habits. Finishing the Cabbage Soup Diet and beginning a healthy eating and exercise regimen is the best advice anyone following this unhealthy approach can receive. Be sure to speak with your physician before beginning.Common Misspellings

The Cabbage soup diet is a radical weight loss diet designed around heavy consumption of a low-calorie cabbage soup over the time of seven days. It is generally considered a fad diet, in that it is designed for short-term weight-loss and requires no long-term commitment. It has inspired several copy-cats based around similar principles.

I started the diet on October 26, 2015 and the first four days there was no weight loss. On the last few days the weight seemed to fall off. I lost a total of 16 lbs!!! I plan on doing it again, this time with some excercise. The first day was the worst day for me, I felt light headed then I began to take a vitamin and felt much better. You can eat as much as you want so no one should go hungry. Good luck and just any other diet and you go back to eating bad the weight will come back on.
Started diet on 140kg. Now on day 3. Severe headaches last night, feeling light-headed - lethargic today. Will continue as I have ambitious plan to get to 100kgs.
Currently finishing day 2 of this diet. Lost 1.5lb on the first day. Excited to see the result at the end. Struggling with taste, everything is so bland!! Going well so far. Not sure how much exercise has to do with the finial outcome but work keeps me on my toes. Love reading all the sucess stories too!
Hello ...DAY 1.... 166.4... so far so good.. Wish me luck!!
am on Day 6 First time...has been the easiest diet ever and was 6 ponds down on the 5th Day and I agree that this diet has lots of nutrition...dont know what the person above was talking about (dangerously low in nutrition and calories) I have been a purest with it as well and have not suffered any...my version allows Beef or skinless chicken on the meat days and does not have all the added things I have seen above; but my cravings for chocolate, ice cream, cookies etc have dissapeared...my diet also warns to take a two week break between rounds...I am hoping the next two weeks I will eat smaller portions and stick to healthy foods...then I will try for the next 10 pounds
first week within 6 days lost 10 lbs. Second week with out break lost 1 lb within 3 days. I really recommend some time break in between diet, otherwise it would be hard to loose
I don't see how this could be "extremely low calorie" or "unhealthy". Did you see the "unlimited fruits and veggies" almost every day? It does include lean protein or milk on several days. The only thing it cuts out is fat and bread/pasta/sugar. As for the allegedly low calories, I calculate about 56 calories per serving of soup, which you could easily eat 4-8 servings of in a day plus the other things. Bananas and apples have about 100 calories for a medium one (x 8 is 800 calories) plus milk, which is almost the same. Chicken breast has 600 calories (lean beef is the same) for the recommended 20oz. I calculate around 1000 calories per day (some diabetics live on 1200). The only truly extreme low calorie day is the one where only vegetables and baked potato/butter are allowed (around 500). I don't see any evidence that fasting (or almost fasting) for one day every harmed anyone. Or, that going without bread/pasta/sugar and fat for one week every harmed anyone. The key is continuing after the diet to consume limited bread/pasta/sugar and healthy fats like nuts and avocados in order to maintain the weight loss. I've lost 90 lbs and kept it off for the last year and a half following a diet very similar to this and can say this with confidence and experience. One tip I will give, is that I've always found when sugar cravings hit really hard, try eating an apple and a small handful of almonds along with a full glass of water. This almost always works for me and the almonds don't really break the diet significantly as long as you don't overdo it.
I have done the diet once before and found it very easy. I am a veggie so I swapped out beef for tofu and milk for almond milk. I also recommend using a low sodium soup stock to reduce water retention. I did not have a lot of weight to loose so I dropped 5 pounds but I felt it was a great reboot for when I might have overindulged a bit. I did not regain any of the weight but I also kept up a healthy diet afterwards. I'm pretty sure if I binged out again it would all pile back. I think that's like most diets though.
hey everyone im on banana day and skim milk so far so good. lets do this and im going to take 2 weeks and 1 week apart until i lost 20
March 2 / 2015 . I'm male age 50 height 5'4" weight 178.8. On the start of the third day I weigh myself and 173.0. That's almost 6 pounds lost in just 2 days . I do get mild headaches . But it's the end of day 3 and I will weight in tomorrow morning again at the start of my 4 th day. It's like (Buckleys Couch med) LOL :) . It's horrible but it works :). I don't cheat on it . If you have the will power , it's only 7 day diet , Not 7 years :) just think next week when you look in the mirror how good you will feel about yourself :)). If ya got a double chin lol watch it disappear :). Good luck and let's get Er done :)
I have done the Cabbage Soup Diet 4 times with a one week break in between. I have lost 9 kg so far. I am going on a cruise in 7 weeks and needed to fit my bikini! I am amazed with this diet. I have done every diet there is and with this one I never feel hungry which is fantastic. My goal is to get to 60 kg and I think this goal will become a reality. Im so proud of myself. I exercise every day and have never had any problems. I also have 2 protein shakes every day. The only thing I have is a bit of gas. I have never done a diet that has had such dramatic results so fast and everyone can notice how much weight ive lost. I have totally stuck to the diet each time. Lisa
Any feedback would be appreciated, confused!
I did the cabbage diet last year and my stomach became as flat as an ironing board! Result! Went down a jeans size and my arms lost weight too.
This time round I'm very confused and upset .i have followed the diet strictly as suggested but I see no real physical weight loss. I started the diet this time in hope for the flat belly as I'm going on holiday but Iv probably lost at minimum weight.
I am due to start my period in ten days n I wondered if this maybe the reason and would I possibly shrink after that ?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Zee
I'm on Day 5 of this diet and have been exercising moderately both running (2-3 miles 7:00 min miles) and strength training. So far I've lost 13 lbs (Starting Weight - 222, Current Weight -209 - Muscular Build)
I don't add very much sodium/spices to the soup nor veggies soup which makes for a bland tasting diet. If I'm going to subject myself to such a diet, I make sure to cut every calorie possible. My suggestions are, meditate, pray, and persevere. It's not only about losing weight it's a mental challenge, take the challenge and conquer it! Good Luck and God Bless!
Ive done this diet before and it did the trick. Have just started day 1 again and don't feel hungry yet. Been on a 30 min run too. I blend my soup up and add lots of smoked paprika and also some fat free yogurt once heated with a splash of balsamic vinegar. On banana day i make banana milkshakes with skimmed milk. Hoping to lose 5 kgs in 7 days
am gg to start day 1 today will let ur know how it goes!!!!
Our office decided to do a cabbage soup diet challenge. Everyone pays a $4 no-refundable fee, and the winner wins all. I am beginning day4, and it is looking pretty good. II have lost 4 lbs. I drink 8 + glasses of water each day. On banana day, I decided to make a smoothie, and it was delicious. Good Luck
Started this past Monday 5/5/14 results thus far pd a day. Did not weigh in today, but as of yesterday Friday 5/9/14 I lost 6 pds. Today is steak day and your stool is sorta loose. Not too bad, I would recommend it for a quick fix and especially for an outfit and or an engagement. Yes, you should always incorporate EXERCISE... =) Good Luck!
I have done this diet 3 times over the past 5 years. I am beginning again tomorrow after putting on 7 lbs over the holidays. Its only 7 days to drop 7 to 10 lbs and it works!! The better you stick to the program the better the loss. I have a major sweet tooth and it really does take away the desire after the first few days and after the week of diet continues to work. I have found it easy to keep the weight off because it changes my junk food desires. Whenever I gain a few lbs I begin again. I find it pretty easy to follow, to make up variations in what your allowed to eat, and do not ever feel hungry. I would rather follow a diet for 7 days that you see real results and stay in check than having to be on a diet for weeks or months. This diet works great.
I started this diet on monday as i am off on holiday soon and need to shed a few kgs. I am currently on day 4 and have so far lost 2kgs. I have felt fine doing my normal exercising, on monday i had a 4 hour dance training and coped perfectly fine. I also went to the gym last night to a 1 hour yoga class and a 15 min run on the treadmill. The only thing with this diet i find annoying is that i have to pee almost every half an hour lol. I consume about 1 or 2 bowls per day, but am starting to get sick of it. I drink lots of water and green tea throughout the day and haven't had any headaches or hunger pains yet which is a good thing. Hope the last 3 days i continue to lose a few kgs, definitely recommend this diet for quick weight loss :)
Hello to all.
Diet started last Monday and today Sunday on the seventh day , lost 3.2 kg :-) .
Started 82.4 kg and now 79.2 kg.
On the fifth day the soup I could not eat it anymore and I made a little trick , shake the soup and taste changed much by adding spices such as soy, sweet paprika and some hot pepper .
Yesterday was the only day I did sports, running for 40 minutes.
During the week I had absolutely no hunger pangs .
I will continue the diet for another 3 - 4 days . I try to lose a couple more kilos.
The diet I recommend it to all , with regard to weight loss do not expect a 7 or 8 kilos because these values are only for people who are too overweight.
The final target is to reach 74 - 75 kg this goal to be achieved with a more balanced nutrition , weight I had a few years ago .
The most wonderful feeling is to get back pants that when you're 82 - 83 kg you cannot ;-).
I hope that my experience will be of help to everyone.

Many things that are intriguing exist on our planet together with the genesis and finishing of several these simply having no plausible interpretation or explanation. There are weird places some while some are populated cities that already have a flourishing publicity and reputation, which are in serene locations. For someone like me who enjoys traveling and hunting for matters out of the ordinary, I thought it'd be pleasant to be put together a listing of a number of the strangest places to visit. Though I have not seen a bulk of these regions, I included them in my compilation and will definitely visit if I get a chance. I thought it's good to share them here and I am hoping you'll enjoy them.
If you ask a large variety of folks that's the densest city in the entire world, they would likely give the like of Manhattan and Tokyo as their answer. It turns out that while these cities are inhabited, it is nowhere as dense as Kowloon. Some individuals find this to not be credible because to the individuals who have been to Tokyo or Manhattan as of now considered that was the population limitation. It is hard to imagine how anyone could bear to dwell within a city if it is more densely populated. That is what the residents of Kowloon have been living in for quite some time now. The population density of Kowloon is in fact about 5 times higher than that of New York city.
Everyone of us dreams of retiring at some point in our lives. Our ideas about ideal retirement depend on individual thinking but there's one town, a home of retirees, that lately made the headlines. Located in Florida, The Villages is reported to be one of the biggest retirement community in the world. Situated in a location like Florida, The Vilages seems like an idyllic retirement place. The truth is far from ideal and The Villages was lately thrusted into the spotlight due to the amount of scandals and sexually transmitted diseases (STD) that's been reported. Pubs, restaurants, country clubs and golf courses are found in The Village in abundance, making it look like an ideal retirees' hometown, but not when outside sex and scandals are widespread like we have come to know of late.
In a little island town named Miyake-Jima south of Tokyo, another extremely bizarre occurrence exists in that every resident has to carry a gas mask consistently. This is brought about by the fact that the town is around Mt Oyama which is understood to have one of the deadliest volcano. There's even a public emergency system on the standby to raise alarm if any rise in the quantities of noxious gases is detected. I've ever been stupefied why the residents of Miyake Jima still decide to carry on placing their lives at risk like this. I think there are just some bizarre things which are wired within us and none of us can completely understand.
The high temperature and dryness can make actually disagreeable living condition and that is some thing that all of us understand. I was amazed when I found that there exists an underground city bustling with life that's located right at the center of a desert. Located less than a thousand kilometers to the north of Adelaide, is Coober city which is not known by too many folks apart from the residents that are hidden from above ground view. The city was made as folks find it easy and more comfortable to live underground, as opposed to over the ground. Amazingly, it really is an entire city which has all needed amenities including health facilities, churches and even a four star high-end eatery.
Mine was only a little compilation of the very weird of places which are found on our planet. Frankly, my imagination is outdone by these areas and finding the presence of these places instructed me to have a more open mind. Some of them sound a bit too frightening even for me, but I still cherish the idea of seeing with them. A thousand words may be described by a picture but I am certain experience and the feeling is something that you may get only when you land your feet on these positions. I'm sure more unexpected areas will probably be discovered and I will make an effort to keep this list updated.

After they wrapped up Monday evening's regular meeting, Genesee Valley school board members were able to see how some of the work in a $7.2 million project was going.
Some work will continue after faculty and staff return Monday and students come back Sept. 4, said Superintendent Dr. Brian Schmitt and Senior Maintenance Mechanic Chris Chamberlain, senior maintenance mechanic.
Chamberlain talked about the front entrance, where visitors will be buzzed into a secure area. Offices such as the principal's office and guidance office will be located nearby.
"It will be that way for everyone. The majority of the people are coming to see the principal or guidance or the school nurse,"?Chamberlain said.
Schmitt said the district isn't trying to keep people out, but wants to know who's entering the building.
"It's more secure than it was, which was our goal. We're trying to limit outside access as much as we can,"?he said.
The school pool will remain closed for awhile after the start of school, Chamberlain said.
Schmitt said, "The stair towers, pool and some site work will be completed after school starts, as scheduled from the beginning. I am optimistic that the pool vestibule and pool will open in early October."
The problem with the stair towers is getting new glass block to fit the existing structure, he said.
"We're working to make sure they're (the glass block)?installed properly,"?Schmitt said. "We're having an issue with the stair towers. Our subcontractor is not sure how to fix them, to be frank."
Chamberlain said the glass block is made offsite and brought to the school.
There was some discussion about a concessions stand, planned as part of the project, may be done by the end of next year, Schmitt said. He said the design given to the district would have cost too much to have built. Schmitt said he didn't have the exact cost estimate.
"The building cost for the concession stand as designed was incredibly expensive,"?Schmitt said. "As a result, we paired down the design and are looking to spend significantly less on the remodeled version.
"Given the cost ... we didn't feel it was prudent to purchase. There will be a concessions stand. It's just going to be separate from the project,"?he said.

On the recommendation of the group here I picked up some Elijah Craig 12 Year Old. First off, I was stunned at how cheap this was. I paid $15.99 for a 750ml. I was thrilled to find it for that, and at that price I will buy it again. I also picked up a bottle of Pappy Van Winkel, at the other end of the spectrum. That's for another time.
In short, I really like this Elijah Craig. It has a very rich flavor, with a nice sweet finish. I tried it neat first, and then on the rocks, my preferred style. On the rocks this drink really opens up and offers a wonderfuly collection of flavors and smells.
Thanks to all of you who recommended this bourbon!
I almost bought the 18 year ($30.99) but decided to stick with what was recommended. How is the 18 year?
PS - Yeah, the Pappy is fantastic, but I can't afford to drink that all that often (nor will I remain married if I were to try...), so it's going to stay in the cabinet for special occasions. The rest of the time I will bounce between the Elijah Craig, Maker's Mark and Elmer T. Lee.

The Rock's Backpages Flashback: At Home with Tom Waits in '76
Hell didn't exactly break loose when Richard Cromelin went to visit Tom Waits in Silver Lake, but Cromelin did come away with this great portrait of the professional barfly for the Los Angeles Times, date March 14, 1976——Barney Hoskyns, Editorial Director, Rock's Backpages
There's no place like Tom Waits' home. There's no home, at any rate, quite like Tom Waits' place. The Silver Lake court cottage looks like the neglected back room of a slumping thrift shop, its contents to be filed when there's room up front.
"You might see something here that I've been looking for for six months," Waits growls from amid the chaos," and I wish you'd tell me because I've lost a lot of things."
A bookshelf holding poetry volumes and vintage hardcover copies of Angry Young Men novels is the room's only concession of Kerouac's Visions of Cody and an album featuring Kerouac reading to Steve Allen's piano accompaniment receive no special treatment. They lie among the skin magazines, traffic tickets, discarded socks and shoes, beneath the Waits Towers — precarious piles of records, tapes, boxes and beer cans atop hidden pieces of furniture. The ashtrays overflow with Old Gold butts, and a huge neon sign proclaiming "Cocktails" leans into one corner. Waits, on a dare, unbolted it from the front of a downtown bar one night. It was heavy, but the demise of his '54 Cadillac's power steering has led to strong biceps.
Tom Waits is one of the most critically admired writers and performers around and the object of a small but intense and growing following. Whether you're a friend, foe ("You are an insensitive bastard and I wish that I'd never met you," reads a sample of his fan mail. "Also you are extremely cruel and thoughtless") or of no opinion, you must concede he's a one of a kind.
Artistically, he's a specialist, the poet of the heart of Saturday night — "the dark, warm narcotic American night," he calls it in 'Putnam County'. His flair for pungent detail and his sensuous imagery bring vibrancy and dimension to his neon maze and its asphalt escape chutes (from 'Ol' '55', the Waits "signature piece" that he wishes weren't: "... I'm riding with lady luck/ Freeway cars and trucks/ Stars beginnin' to fade/ And I lead the parade.")
From the vantage point of the determined loner, he strolls the all-night diners, burrito stands, truck stops and Hollywood dives on a sacramental midnight mission, ending in a dawn that, for him, cracks like a bullwhip and turns the sky the color of Pepto-Bismol. Paul Bunyan used logs as toothpicks; for Waits, the parking meters are walking sticks.

AMHERST CO., Va. — According to the Amherst County Sheriff's Office, 77 suspects have been arrested.
Deputies are still trying to track down 32 other suspects.
More than 100 people in Amherst County got an unwelcome wake up call Sunday morning.
Sunday alone the Amherst County Sheriff's Office will arrest 111 people facing 243 charges total.
It's part a program the department calls Operation Avalanche.
All people arrested will appear before a magistrate to have bonds set Sunday.
The indictments are from the county's Grand Jury that met earlier this month.
Here is the full press release from the department:
Operation Avalanche has begun today with an onslaught of arrests of those in the drug trade in Amherst County.
A number of Central Virginia residents are waking up today to the knocks of law enforcement officers. They are facing arrest today as the Amherst Sheriff's Office is beginning to round up those recently indicted by the Multi Jurisdictional Grand Jury. A total of 111 individuals are facing 243 charges.
On December 7th, the grand jury, which met in Bedford, indicted many of these people and issued sealed indictments. The indictments are being served today as they are being arrested and booked.
This operation also includes 11 persons who have already been charged as a part of this operation and are currently awaiting trial in Amherst. Many of these were taken into custody during surveillance operations. Additionally three search warrants were executed as a result of the overall Operation Avalanche.
Two male juveniles are also being charged on juvenile petitions for distribution of marijuana within this operation.

Ignore her, girls. This is good stuff.
That's pretty damn funny
Yeah, but I bet she gives genuine blowjobs!
left out fake tummy, fake lips, fake nails and fake talent.
Sadly, these cunts are making so much money thanks to MTV, that the Vuitton most likely IS real.
I would say it's more likely to be a copy of "How to Live With Herpes" that her doctor gave her.

"Many of the images of gore in this video are from film and television, they are not real - I have attempted to show the contradiction between entertainment (death gore horror) and real life. We dont seem to mind a zombie with half a head but recoil in horror at having to see what our heroes do - or avert our gaze from whats done in our name.The real horror is this video is just another slideshow, to be liked or not liked as if it were unrelated to a real world of unspeakable cruelty and malice."
