There's a group of friends, young adults, very educated and intellectual. One of these, a guy, brings a new girlfriend to meet his intellectual friends. The girlfriend is clearly not as clever as the guy and his friends. The guy and his friends (both young men and women) form a tight group. They make a road trip to some place out in nature. It's a sunny day, and they're telling stories. First one of the friends of the guy tells a story, which ends in a funny anecdote or punchline. This reminds the new girlfriend of something that happened to her, and she tells her story, which is somehow embarrassingly, awkwardly simple and stupid. After the girl has told the story, everyone else is waiting it to continue and expand, but it doesn't. The girl ends it with something like "and I thought it was nice"
So, which movie is this? First I remembered it was Reality Bites but no. Somehow it is similar to that, though, probably made in late 1990s.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Cincinnati police say an officer fatally shot one drug suspect and wounded a second when the suspects allegedly backed into an unmarked police car after a pre-arranged undercover drug buy.
Lt. Kimberly Williams said Thursday that the officer was not injured in the shooting that occurred around 6 p.m. Wednesday. She says one suspect died and the other was treated for a hand wound. Police are searching for a third suspect.
Police say officers were following the suspects' vehicle after the alleged drug deal apparently to arrest them. They say the suspects backed their vehicle into the police car after turning onto a dead-end street.
Williams says the officer reported at least two suspects got out of the car and at least two were armed when he fired the shots.

My replacement wallet
I replaced my wallet that I've had for many years, very happy to find the same wallet. The craftsmanship was even better than the wallet I've had. Very good and I am very happy with the purchase and the help with customer service identifying the wallet.
Thank you, Art Bass

Superb wallet, but I wish a previous design was still available
I've had a Bosca Nappa Vitello wallet like this for at least 15 years and it is still in beautiful shape -- the only sign of wear is inside the wallet where the bills go. I was just in Italy and couldn't find any wallets of comparable value and nothing with this design, and so I ordered a new one from Bosca. One leather store in Italy told me that soft leather wallets don't last very long, and that's certainly not true of the one that I have. My only disappointment is that the new wallet is designed differently than the one I have, and I really prefer the old design. On my current wallet, the credit card slots are vertical, rather than horizontal, which keeps the cards from accidentally falling out (because the openings point to the fold in the wallet, rather than the open side). The horizontal slots also make the new one a little longer on the one side which means it doesn't fit in pants pockets quite as well.

Fantastic quality
I recently purchased and received a Bosca Nappa Vitello wallet. It's the third of these I've had over the years and I wouldn't think of owning any other. The craftsmanship is superb and it's designed to carry many items and still maintain a very slim profile. It fits comfortably in my pocket and wears well. I often receive complements when I show it to my friends. It's a great value for a fine wallet. I highly recommend it.

It was one of nine Arkansas properties that the State Review Board of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program considered for nomination on Wednesday.
According to Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHPP), it was included as a possible nomination because of its local significance to the community from 1942 to 1945.
"It is being nominated for its significance to the productive life of Lester Asher Black, a businessman who impacted both his local community in DeWitt, as well as the state of Arkansas," according to the AHPP's nomination form on the building.

Road bike bottom brackets
Bottom brackets or "Crank axles" as they are sometimes referred to are mostly maintenance free sealed units these days. They generally require only a few tools to take them off and re-install them, they do however come in many different lengths and diameters, so buying the right one is essential. Fitting them properly should generally be left to an experienced bicycle mechanic in most cases, as ill fitting can cause expensive damage.

Options to hysterectomy
Mystie Johnson, MD, a board-certified OB/Gyn, is chief medical officer at Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center and was one of the first doctors on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.Question: I have very heavy bleeding with my period. Are there options that will help me control the bleeding to be more manageable while allowing me to retain fertility?
Answer: There are many answers to this question based on your definition is of the words "very heavy." For instance, does your menstrual cycle keep you home from school or work? Are you regularly ruining your clothes? You also need to determine why and when you want to retain fertility. Are you currently trying to get pregnant or is it more that you might want a child or another child in the future?
My first recommendation is to talk over these questions with your Ob/Gyn. If your period causes you to stop your life for a couple of days each month, your physician may help you find the answer to a more full life during your period. If you are not trying to get pregnant immediately, it could be as easy as changing your hormones by using your oral contraceptives.
If you are attempting to get pregnant, most likely your physician will recommend an ultrasound or hysteroscopy to determine the cause of your bleeding. Both can be done in the physician's office and are uncomfortable but not painful. Both provide your physician with a glimpse of your uterine walls—an ultrasound uses waves to see the image through your skin and muscle, a hysteroscopy involves the insertion of a small telescope through the cervix into the uterus.
There are two things your physician is looking for when discussing "very heavy bleeding"—a hormonal imbalance, or a structural problem like fibroid tumors or polyps. If your Ob/Gyn determines that your bleeding is caused by a thyroid dysfunction, you might be able to get some control through medication.
If your Ob/Gyn determines that your bleeding is caused by uterine fibroid tumors or uterine polyps, and oral contraceptives are again not an option, minor surgery may be necessary. It is important to understand that fibroid tumors are usually non-cancerous and that most surgery for fibroid tumors is minimally invasive. From laparoscopy, which allows the physician to view the fibroid through a camera in your cervix, cut the fibroid and remove it through small incisions in the abdominal wall to a laparotomy, which involves an abdominal incision similar to a c-section, most pain and recovery times are minimal. Patients who have a laparotomy typically spend a night or two in the hospital and will have a longer healing time but, with both surgeries, patients can retain the ability to conceive.
Polyps, in either the cervix or the uterine walls, are much simpler than fibroids, in that they typically involve a Dialation and Curettage (D and C), which is a common procedure performed often to fully cleanse a uterus of its contents. Polyps too are typically non-cancerous and can be controlled by oral contraceptives if that is an option.

Beyond Granite Design Competition for a new temporary outdoor commemorative installation in Washington, DC has been announced by The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and the General Services Administration (GSA). The design competition and resulting installation are intended to enhance a prominent but underutilized public space in the city's monumental core while fostering public dialogue regarding the nature of commemoration in the nation's capital.
"The commemoration of our country's historic leaders, events and ideas is an issue of national and long-standing significance," noted NCPC Executive Director Marcel Acosta. "As one of the agencies involved with reviewing proposals for new memorials in the nation's capital, NCPC is excited to be exploring a new and innovative form of commemoration that has the potential to enrich Washington's cultural landscape, while relieving pressure on the National Mall to accommodate new permanent memorials."
NCPC and GSA invite artists and/or design professionals, working as individuals or teams, to propose ideas for an innovative temporary commemorative work that embodies the competition's commemorative theme—the founding principles and positive impact of Earth Day, the world's largest civic observance. The proposed site for the temporary installation is the Ariel Rios Hemicycle, a grassy semi-circle along the west side of 12th Street, NW between Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues in the heart of Washington's Federal Triangle. The site is near the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency.

ZF-3391: Zend_auth openid fails with the Yahoo! provider
When tempting to use the Auth_openId adapter with a Yahoo! openId, the authentification fails it works well with other providers (at least openid.com), and some other frameworks work well with Yahoo
A guy here found a solution by modifying directly the Zend class : http://nabble.com/Zend_OpenId-fails-for-yahoo-open…
Because other openIds classes manage to deal with yahoo, and after reading the comment of this guy, it would be worth either to be less strict, either having Yahoo! changing their code ... having worked there, I suggest the first solution :)
I set the priority to blocker, since Y! virtually represents 2 third of the openId accounts out there, and that prevents me to use this Zend class at all..
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

The new Volvo FE builds on our proven track record of innovative safety through the addition of new, strong features. It is now equipped with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), the result being enhanced levels of driving performance and safety through improved directional and roll stability.
As well as the proven benefits of ESP, other preventative safety equipment on the new Volvo FE include smartly designed mirrors that minimise side blind spots and new front LED Daytime Running Lights. Both of these features optimise visibility – from both a see and be-seen perspective. Good news for the driver, city centre cyclist and pedestrian.
Inside the cab itself, the driver can consider himself at the centre of a zone that is among the safest any truck driver can enjoy. Our acclaimed Volvo Safety Cab has been complimented with a new seat that offers enhanced crash deformation and frontal movement characteristics in the event of an accident.
Surround yourself with world-class preventative and protective safety features.
Obviously, the physical safety of drivers, other road users and pedestrians is paramount. However, we are also aware that avoiding small accidents and reducing the need for time-consuming repairs can make a major contribution to truck uptime and total cost of ownership. When it comes to safety, our mission is clear – why not climb aboard and find out for yourself?
The new Volvo FE cab features in-cab safety measures such as integrated seatbelts and anchored seats.

The Emergency Angioplasty Team at Botsford Hospital is seeing a scary trend: Younger heart attack patients. In 2012, the average age was around 50 years.
Why are relatively young people having heart attacks? To find out, we asked Heather Glover, RN, Botsford's Manager of Cardiopulmonary Services. "Our high-stress world has probably been a significant factor leading to an increased number of patients requiring emergency angioplasty," she explains. "And most of these patients are 50-ish—part of the ultra-stressed-out sandwich generation who care for aging parents while still supporting adult children."
We live in stressful times; it can get to all of us. If left unmanaged, stress can lead to emotional, psychological and even physical problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, chest pains or irregular heartbeats. And it's the everyday things that can build up and cause problems. "When I think of stress, I tend to focus on the mounting, day-to-day things, such as broken furnaces, traffic, what's for dinner, grocery shopping, rude people, sick kids or the loss of a loved one," Heather says.
Stress Management Tips to Prevent a Heart Attack
Fortunately stress-induced heart attacks at a young age may be preventable with stress
management. Heather offers these 11 stress management tips to help you avoid the emergency room:
- Get good sleep.
- Manage your weight.
- Drink water.
- Stand up straight.
- Avoid excess caffeine, sweets, work and alcohol.
- Eat your fruits and vegetables.
- Laugh daily.
- Don't smoke.
- Manage your health issues. Take your medications. See your physician regularly.
- Exercise regularly. Activity is good; exercise is better.
- Shut out the world occasionally.
If you'd like to learn more about this or other cardiac health issues, mark your calendar! You can chat LIVE with Heather Glover, RN on Tuesday April 30th 2013 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the Botsford Hospital Facebook page.

Excursions to Pompeii from Hotel Sorrento: information on the archaeological site
Pompeii is a unique place in the world. Is the biggest archaeological site of Europe. Visiting this town you can have a realistic idea of the everyday life of 2000 years ago. In 79 AC the Vesuvius eruption buried completely Pompeii and Herculaneum (two very important towns of roman empire) with lava and ash. Just in 1748 Pompeii was discovered again by the archaeologists.
The town is perfectly maintained and is still possible to see the architecture as well as the way to live of the Romans.
Some of the most popular attraction are:
The amazing roman villas, where the richest people of the age lived, with their particular architecture and beautiful wall painting. In particular: Villa dei Misteri, Villa di Diomede, Villa delle colonne a mosaico (mosaic columns villa).
The monumental Forum, the centre of politic, religious and commercial life in town.
The Amphitheatre, one of the biggest and better maintained of the roman world, where the gladiators died for the patricians amusement.
The thermal baths, the Lupanare, the theatres and the temples are other suggestive attractions.
Pompeii is extremely easy to reach from Hotel Mediterraneo with a local train. The station is bout 10 minutes walking far from the hotel, the trains runs often and they takes just 30 minutes to reach Pompeii and 40 min to Herculaneum.
Half day group tours are available to the reception desk 3 days a week during the high season.
Concierge suggestion: The guide (in private or group tours) is necessary for this excursion to better understand what you are going to look at. The legend and the little particulars are an important part of the guided tour. An half day is enough to visit the site. If you are particularly interested to the archaeological matter you can visit also in the same day Herculaneum. In that area there are also Oplonti archaeological site that is less popular but interesting too

ZF-10112: Pubsubhubbub Subscriber : bad content type on subscription request
in _doRequest method of Zend_Feed_Pubsubhubbub_Subscriber, the call of $client->setRawData($this->_getRequestParameters($url, $mode)); without second parameter $enctype reset the enctype to null. (previously set to url encoded by the call of $client->setMethod in _getHttpClient)
the request must have a Content-Type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded according to PubSubHubbub specs : http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/…
Since you are about to fix this component. Can you fix this bug too?
Not sure this is correct. A value of NULL for the encoding forces the default to be used which is the correct url encoding. Nevertheless, since custom clients can be passed around in the future, I've made it an explicit setting in r23071 to avoid any confusion.
I had problems subscribing to a PuSHPress-Hub because PHP doesnt set $_POST parameters if the encoding is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Btw, same at Zend_Feed_Pubsubhubbub_Publisher line 414.
Fixed in trunk! :P I Need to look at Zend_Http_Client because this should be done by default. Somewhere amid all the null value, the setEncType() call isn't applying it's default value.
Removing fix version. Issues marked 'duplicate' don't need a fix version -- it makes them appear in the JIRA changelog and/or roadmap.

|Honorable Mention All-America
NEW ORLEANS – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released its 2012 outdoor All-America honorees on Tuesday and recognized Idaho's Mike Marshall as an Honorable Mention selection.
Marshall, a junior from Yakima, Wash., earned the All-America Honorable Mention accolade in the men's javelin throw after finishing 17th at last week's NCAA Outdoor Championships in the event with a throw of 224-9 (68.52m).
The honor is the first of Marshall's career and the third for a Vandal track and field athlete this year after sophomore Hannah Kiser (women's 3000m) and senior Jeremy Klas (men's pole vault) each earned Second Team honors during the indoor season.
Marshall, a former walk-on, finished the year ranked third all-time at Idaho with a best mark of 230-6 (70.26m) in the javelin throw. He won the Western Athletic Conference title in the event to help lead the Vandal men to a WAC team title. He is the first Vandal to earn All-America honors in the event since Oscar Duncan did so three years in a row from 1996-98.
Marshall's selection makes him the 28th Vandal man to earn an All-America accolade in outdoor track and field and the third to do so in the javelin throw.
The USTFCCCA annually awards All-America honors in cross country and indoor/outdoor track and field. Starting in 2011, the organization awarded First-Team All-America honors to those athletes who finish first through eighth place or score a team point, Second-Team honors to ninth through 16th places and Honorable Mention notation to those who participate and finished lower than 16th.

Finding the Threads of Strength: Supporting a Sibling With Mental Illness
In 2003, my brother was in his early 20s and living on the west coast. He started to exhibit signs of delusions. Over the course of a few weeks, telephone conversations became more bizarre and it became obvious that something was happening to him. The speed at which he deteriorated was alarming, and my parents soon flew him back home to get a better idea of what was happening. Was it drugs? Was it alcohol? Was he sick? We had so many questions and fear started to saturate our thoughts.
He came to stay at my house the night he arrived. Opening the door to greet him is a moment that plays in my memory over and over again. Normally, my brother is tall—striking in fact—and has a truly contagious smile, but in that moment, he was hard, rigid and closed-off. He wore the black hooded sweatshirt—with the hood up to cover most of his face—that would become a constant part of his identity in the coming months. He seemed shorter, defeated and, most of all, scared. I reached out to hug him and was met with resistance, he wouldn't make eye contact and barely said hello. I remember feeling a deep sadness. This is not the brother I once knew. What happened to him? What did he do to bring this on? This one moment, the simple act of opening the door and greeting my brother, for me represents the threshold of crossing into a world of a family member affected by mental illness.
The next few years were about survival, not only for my brother, but for my family. He was eventually diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He struggled to interact with people, finding it difficult to even go into a store to buy a cup of coffee. He couldn't make eye contact and conversations were brutally short. He continued to bounce around trying to find quality medical care. Our family struggled to be supportive, understand which behaviors were results of his illness and which ones were not. He repeatedly went off his medication and had episodes—or psychotic "breaks"—until he came to terms with the fact that he would need to take some form of medication for the rest of his life. It was a dark time.
When my brother and I were young, people used to think we were twins. I loved being told this, because it reassured me that we had a special bond. His experience with mental illness has impacted me on so many levels, but mostly I felt like I had lost a sibling because this bond was broken. He barely talked to me and didn't return phone calls. In all of my research, I found lots of support and guidance for parents of children with mental illness, but struggled to find support for the siblings, particularly, adult siblings. Unlike my parents, I wasn't invited to doctor's appointments or responsible for ensuring his basic needs were met. This at least gave them some direction and steps they could take. I also struggled to talk to other people about it. In addition to worrying about protecting his privacy, I quickly found that most people didn't know how to react to a personal conversation about mental illness and felt uncomfortable, which in turn, made me uncomfortable. How could I help? Without an answer, I just kept calling him, visiting him and sending him emails. I tried to be supportive and maintain as much of our "normal" sibling relationship as possible.
And then one day, years after that first melancholy greeting in my apartment, something was different. He smiled. He cracked a joke. He made eye contact. He was interacting with friends, and he talked about a girl he had met. The constant weight that was my new normal started to lift from my chest.
We haven't found the cure. Certain struggles have become a part of the fabric of my brother's life, and as a result, for all those that love and support him, but he has gained the tools to manage them and is thriving. In quiet moments, I have heard each of my parents and siblings mention the black sweatshirt my brother wore constantly those first few months. Looking back on it, I think it gave him comfort to hide beneath its threads. As we watched him get married, he stood tall with his head held high and no reason to hide. I have never been more proud of him or our family. In the darkest of moments, we refused to give up hope, demanded better treatment and in some situations, gave him the space to figure some of it out on his own. Not an easy feat for anyone, or any family, touched by mental illness.
My brother only wants to focus on the future, and rightfully so. When you have experienced such darkness, focusing on the present and looking to the future is the only way to live life. He is firmly grounded in reality, as is his support system, and we recognize that he will struggle again. He will always need to pay close attention to his mental and physical health to ensure he doesn't slip backward, and continue taking medication and seeking professional help. But for now, we will embrace the miracle our family has experienced. We will drink in all that we can of it, and live off its warmth and comfort for as long as possible. Because when you love someone who struggles with mental illness, that is all we can do: make the very most of the good moments and use them to build strength for the tough times ahead.

Thank you for sharing this. I felt very emotional as I read your family's story because it's so similar to my family's journey with my brother's mental illness, except that we still struggle to convince my brother to seek the treatment he needs. I pray that your brother continues to do well and that you and his other loved ones keep finding the strenght you need to get through any tough times ahead.

This was a wonderful piece and thank you for sharing. We are in a dark time with my son. I have been very involved on many levels. I don't know where my son is now ad I am very concerned. Thank you for giving me some comfort today.
- April 10, 2013 at 1:36 PM
Thank you so much for your writing! Our 20-year-old son has schizoaffective disorder and just got out of the hospital after a three-week stay. Our 18-year-old has severe bipolar disorder, type 1. I worry about their younger sister, who just turned 15. She adores her big brothers and this has been really hard on her. When she is open to the idea, I am going to have her attend a NAMI Family-to-Family class, because she will have to cope with her brothers' illnesses her entire life.
- April 10, 2013 at 2:01 PM
Ditto with the other anonymous comments, this story resonates so strongly for me and my family. We are still in the "dark" time. Your story gives me hope and I pray daily for my son to come to "own" his condition and what he needs to do to maintain his mental health. This will be helpful for my younger son, who is struggling with how changed his brother is. Thank you!

What a great story about not giving up hope. My son also has schizophrenia and he just got married in September. We all, as a family, cherish the good moments because it does give you strenght for when it's needed the most. Great, beautiful words.
- April 10, 2013 at 3:54 PM
Thanks so much for posting this. I also am the sibling of a person struggling with mental illness. I means so much to know that I am not alone.
- April 10, 2013 at 5:03 PM
This touched me so much! My husband & I and our daughter are sharing a similar joy as my son just got engaged to a wonderful woman who loves him and recognizes all of his amazing talents & qualities.We are so blessed.Thanks for sharing!

Forgive me for being a "wet blanket", but the fairy tale ending you gave to your brother's story leaves me uneasy, and may give unrealistic ideas to some. Perhaps you didn't have space, but you make no mention of how prepared your brother's new wife is, for the inevitable extra stresses there are in a marriage with a seriously mentally ill spouse. Has she perhaps taken the NAMI Family to Family course? Has she seen your brother in a decompensated state, and been able to both keep herself safe as well as being strong enough to see him through these phases? Has the question of whether to have children been addressed? Will your brother have to be able to keep a job, or can the wife's income support them should he be unable to work steadily?
Love, especially a stable, committed relationship, can be a wonderful thing to anyone, maybe more so to a mentally ill person. But by not addressing in your article these realistic issues, you leave the impression that meds and marriage can cure mental illness, when it is far from the truth.

Cheers! Hoorah! I can only imagine the wonderful joy and relief you must be feeling. I can only offer a humble thank you for sharing your story, for it is yours as much as your brother's. Mental illness rips into the very soul of a family. It is a ray of hope when things go well.

I have been listening to Lucinda Williams' song "Are You Allright" all morning and wondering where my brother might be and how he might be doing. I kept thinking how much I would like to hug him and hold him tight and for the first time in years I logged on to the NAMI website for support. Your piece was the first I saw and it made me remember that I am not alone in missing my brother.. Thank you so much for sharing. You are a lucky sister.
- April 11, 2013 at 3:32 AM
Wow! What a story of mixed feelings. As you say, it is now to time to give thanks to God for this beautiful miracle and live the now and the future. My best wishes for him and his wife.

Yes, positve family support increases recovery. May we all do what we can to bring others to the family support groups and the Family-to-Family class so they know how to become strong supports. Isolating is not helpful sharing your experiences and what helped and worked is,
- April 11, 2013 at 6:23 AM
Your story touched so many parts of our family's ongoing journey with my daughter's mental illness. I continue to remind her everyday of her strength in coping with her illness and trying to find the right combination of medicines/therapy/strategies to handle the ups and downs she faces. I know things will get better as they did for your brother with HOPE and perseverance. Thank you for sharing your story which was discovered by my daughter and inturn shared with our family:) This gives all of us a postive reason to push through the difficult times for brighter days ahead...particularly for my daughter and your brother!
- April 11, 2013 at 9:48 AM
thank you for sharing your story. I too am living in a very sad situation with my daughter. She is refusing to be helped as she feels there is nothing wrong with her. However, in February of this year she tried to kill herself with a gun. She survived when she shouldn't have. there is no logical reason why she survived except by the Grace of God. She has no brain injuries or spinal cord damages. Now we are waiting for facial surgeries. It is a long road. I didn't know I had the strength I do except that I have no other choice. I need to help save her.
- April 11, 2013 at 4:22 PM
This article at least gives me hope for my son. He is struggling with the same illness and currently in jail and he so wants a normal life and a wife to spend his life with! Thanks you so very much!
- April 11, 2013 at 11:05 PM
Thank you for sharing; a joyful day indeed! I'm happy my brother continues to take actions to keep his mental health a top priority, but how wonderful would it be for him to experience a partner's love?! I hope our family can one day share in the happiness you have described.
- April 11, 2013 at 11:19 PM
I am passing this along to my daughter to read. She is also a young adult struggling with the loss of her brother to Schizophrenia and this would be very helpful for her.
Thank you for sharing your story!!!

Oh my, the previous poster has posted my own thoughts about my son's situation precisely. I do not know where he is now, as the system blocks out parents of children 18 and older.
It is so good to read your story about your brother. Blessings on him and his wife, and you all!
- April 12, 2013 at 11:27 AM
I can relate. Thanks for sharing!
- April 14, 2013 at 11:29 AM
Thanks for sharing, this is a very well written article and it's great to know about the struggles that ensue while facing mental illness. I have a mental illness as well but I'm also able to see the flip side of the coin from one of my siblings/or parents' perspective. Mental illness affects everyone.
- April 19, 2013 at 10:57 AM
Thanks for sharing your story. I have one adult child who suffers from mental illness. My other 2 adult children have not supported their sibling during this 10 year torturous journey... I believe it is because the illness saddens them and they don't know how to handle him or what to say to him. I pray for a "miracle" such as yours as well as that my child will have insight to the illness that plagues his life. I also pray for a miracle of his siblings accepting and supporting him. Thanks again for this! Very Inspiring!

Thanks for sharing your story. Our son age 27 had first psychotic episide in June 2010. Diagnosed with paranoid Schizophrenia. For the next 21 months he stayed in a town 2 hours away from us without any treatment, addicted to pot and alcohol. He was found confused on a cold morning and We got a call.We brought him home on April 1st 2012 and ever since one of us stay with him 24/7. He has been living with us for 13 months and started college in January. I quit my job, he takes medication but still paranoid and delusional. I sit in the lobby while he attends the University. Finals next week. Hope for the best!

Thank you for your story...In seeking support as a caregiver of my daughter who is a single Mom, I sought out Nami today and came across your story.
My daughter doesnt suffer from the same illness your brother has - she is recovering from a pyschotic break which was a result of extreme stress and her primary care dr telling her she could go off her lithium ( she is bipolar). The episode was so severe that she was arrested for stealing a car and went missing. Thankfully there were no charges filed because it was obvious to law enforcement that she didnt know who or where she was. I am still trying to.cope with the devestation she now feels from her community going into shock over her actions as well as the emotional blow to her self esteem. She is s mild tempered kind individual, who is trying to get her life back. She struggles daily now with huge fears and tears. Everyday is a struggle to cheer her on and its taking its toll on me & her children. I wish for joy to come again as it has for you. Thank you again.

I come from a family that has many different types of mental illness. Every year one of my brother's will go off his medication and have severe episodes. Usually, he finds himself incarserated due to stealing, seeking out one family member or friend. Here in Kentucky we have to either file a petition for him to be arrested and observed to see if he is in need of hospitalization. He knows how to fool anyone of authority. Even the jail at times will send him home because they will cannot take his behavior. When he is at his "normal self", he is still not the same brother, he use to be. I really miss him so much.

Task: LCD graphics programming
Programming skills: Java
Skill: Novice
We are looking for a developer to work on LCD graphics in leJOS NXJ. Currently the Graphics class has many of the standard Java graphics commands but it is still missing some, like the fillArc() method. If you are interested in adding more methods to the Graphics class, please email me or reply in this message.
For this task you are not required to create a Sourceforge ID or set up any tools. To make development easier, this class can be developed as a septate class outside the jar, then added to leJOS when it is done. When you have some code ready, send it to one of the developers and it will be checked in for you. We hope this will make it easier to develop code since in the past our volunteers seemed to lose their motivation when they had to set up development tools first.
Eventually we would like to fill out the javax.microedition.lcdui package with widgets (like a battery widget) and other graphical elements in the menu system (it is currently text only). This will require the addition of classes like Panel, etc...
Feel free to reply to this message with questions or comments.

The 1990 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony filled the Waldorf-Astoria with a mix of R&B, British Invasion rock & roll, and pop. Like the year before, the night veered from the moving to the maniacal. Rock & roll pioneer Hank Ballard danced onstage after Boz Scaggs' presentation, but then broke down when thanking his wife and manager, Theresa MacNeil, who had recently been killed by a hit-and-driver.
Though the Hall of Fame inductions are no-holds-barred, the pall of censorship colored the opening remarks of Bob Krasnow, thanks to recent obscenity charges against rappers 2 Live Crew. Said Krasnow, "The way some people still perceive rock music hasn't changed since the days of Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. We're still under siege, we're still under attack. Rock & roll continues to serve each generation as its own frontier. Our challenge is not only to give the music a forum, but more importantly, to let music speak. Aldous Huxley, a man who certainly had a vision of a future out of control, wrote: 'Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes, and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of demons.' Yeah, poetry is written in words, but legislation is written in words, and one exalts while one the other confines, sometimes controls, and even destroys. So tonight while we celebrate the idea of rock & roll, tomorrow, we have to protect its future."

By the Numbers, Who are Triathletes?
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
From www.303Triathlon.com
This year, Active Networks conducted a study on triathlon participants across the country. The goal was to break down the participants by level of participation, and then understand what habits each level of participation exhibit in their racing, purchasing, and training. Their three main categories were the Newcomer, the Practitioner, and the Veteran. Interesting that the newcomer category was comprised of 55% women. Wouldn't it be great to get this kind of information about the cycling world? Read more on 303Triathlon

Lady Gaga
"I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me, and I realized I could do all three."
- Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga Biography
Stefani Germanotta (later known as Lady Gaga) was born March 28, 1986, in New York City to an Italian-American family. She attended Convent of the Sacred Heart school and, as a little girl, she remembers singing into a plastic tape recorder to the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson. By age 4, Lady Gaga had taught herself to play the piano, and when she was a teenager, she penned her first song. When she was just 14, she was playing open mike nights at New York's Bitter End, and by the age of 17, she had been accepted into the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU.
Lady Gaga started working the local Lower East Side club scene, performing then-hits like "Beautiful Dirty Rich" while donning her unique stage outfits. When she was 20, she started working for Interscope Records and was busy writing songs for other musical groups such as The Pussycat Dolls.
In August 2007, Lady Gaga performed at Lollapalooza.
Lady Gaga Releases The Fame With The Hit "Just Dance"
In 2008, Lady Gaga released her debut album The Fame, which included the hit tracks "Just Dance," "Boys, Boys, Boys," "Poker Face," and "Alejandro." She sang at the Winter Music Conference in March 2008. In July, she performed on the reality show So You Think You Can Dance as well as at the Miss Universe 2008 pageant. Then, that September, she made a guest appearance on MTV's The Hills, costarring Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, Whitney Port, and Audrina Patridge.
In mid-2008, soon after she began getting major exposure, Lady Gaga dyed her naturally brown hair platinum blond. Apparently she was being confused with fellow rebel songstress Amy Winehouse.
Lady Gaga Collaborates With Beyonce
In 2010, Lady Gaga released "Telephone," a collaboration with Beyonce that became a smash hit. For the song, the two singers filmed a high-concept, high-budget music video that, at nine minutes long, put them on par with with pop culture icons like Michael Jackson and Madonna.
Lady Gaga Wins A Grammy In 2010
Lady Gaga garnered multiple awards for her hit single, earned a nomination for Album of the Year and won Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 2010 Grammys. Her song "Poker Face" was also nominated for Song of the Year.
Lady Gaga At The 2011 Grammys
At the 2011 Grammys, Lady Gaga won awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Bad Romance;" Best Pop Vocal Album for Fame Monster and Best Video for "Bad Romance." But more than for her awards, Lady Gaga made a splash with her entrance -- she was carried in by models in a giant egg. If you thought she couldn't outdo the meat dress from last year, well, she did.
And with the release of "Born This Way," the first single from her upcoming album, Lady Gaga is steady on her rise to the highest echelons of pop stardom, determined to surprise us every step of the way.

SANTA ANA – The City Council will hold a closed-door meeting Thursday to discuss the performance of the city manager and city attorney.
A notice of the special meeting, called by council members David Benavides, Vincent Sarmiento, Sal Tinajero and Michele Martinez, went out Wednesday – in the middle of a week when City Hall is closed for the holidays. The agenda notes only that the closed session is an evaluation of City Manager Paul Walters and City Attorney Sonia Carvalho.
Tinajero, the mayor pro tem, said the meeting was called during the holiday week because at least two of the council members plan to leave town and council members wanted to have the session before year's end.
He and other council members set up the evaluation so that the two appointed officials could discuss issues they've addressed in the past year and how they will deal with them in the future. At the same time, the council, with two new members, will have an opportunity to describe its vision and to ask questions.
Among the issues the city has had to grapple with, he noted, are the end of redevelopment, ongoing discussions about whether to dismantle a controversial downtown property improvement district known as the PBID and contract negotiations that will affect the city's budget.
"Everyone needs to hear what the city manager's and city attorney's game plan is for moving forward," he said.
"I hear that people are saying that we want to terminate the city manager or city attorney," he said "It is way too premature to even make a comment on it. It's not what this is about."
Benavides said he has heard of no plans to take adverse action against the two officials. Walters, who had been the city's police chief and interim city manager, in June was appointed by a unanimous council as city manager and to the new position of police commissioner.
Benavides noted that City Clerk Maria Huizar was evaluated about two or three months ago.
"It's an opportunity to hear their perspectives and to share with them some of our vision and direction," Benavides said.
"It's premature to have any outcomes in mind," he added.
Carvalho, who was hired as the city attorney in April, said that her contract called for an evaluation after a six-month period.
Mayor Miguel Pulido has found himself at odds with the four council members who called Thursday's meeting. In the summer, they also called a special meeting to place before voters a measure to impose term limits on the mayor's office. It was approved by voters in November.
"I wouldn't do a 24-hour meeting notice for a meeting of this nature," Pulido said of the move. "It's too important."
The closed-door meeting is set for 1:15 p.m. at the council chamber, 22 Civic Center Plaza.

Less than three weeks after CVS stores started selling the controversial Obama chia pets, the pharmacy chain is pulling them from its shelves.
In April, rival chain Walgreens stopped selling the Obama chias after complaints that the plants, which sprout a green chia afro as the President's hair, were racist.

Off-season brings the chance to get sand on the wheels
Published: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 12:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 12:56 p.m.
Shortly after arriving at their Kure Beach vacation home, Craig Douglas and his family backtrack to Carolina Beach. Leaving a getaway for another town so quickly may seem strange, but Douglas does it only to ensure better access to Kure Beach - by Jeep.
"We like to look for sea glass down at Fort Fisher, and there are parts that are pretty remote," said Douglas, who lives near Akron, Ohio. "You have to have a four-wheel-drive vehicle to get down there, so I rent a Jeep every time we're there so we can get down to the beach."
Douglas is one of thousands of beachgoers along the North Carolina coast who spend the off-season touring the sand in four-wheel-drive vehicles. Most beach-driving areas in the state are in the Outer Banks, but a handful of local areas allow vehicles on the sand, with differing rules.
On Pleasure Island, for example, 4x4 vehicles can be driven in both Freeman Park and the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area. Each area requires a separate beach-driving permit - ranging in cost from $12 to $100, depending on the duration and the place - and the vehicles are allowed all year, though driver activities vary depending on the month.
"It's kind of a mix of people wanting to spend a day out there and explore the beaches, and people who are interested in camping," said Joey Conn, co-owner of Carolina Jeep Rentals in Carolina Beach. "You tend to see more people camping in the off-season. This time of year, it's cool at night and you can have a fire."
Conn rents four-wheel-drive Jeep Wranglers outfitted with large tires and lift kits to easily navigate soft, uneven sand. Off-season rental packages range from $70 for two hours to $125 for an overnight trip, including wood and a fire pit - though some renters prefer to simply drive the shoreline.
"Some people want to do it just to do it, or they used to have a Jeep and want to relive the old days," Conn said. "We also have people from out of town who have beach houses and want a way to drive on the sand, and tourists who want to try something different."
Beach-driving rules are more restrictive in other communities. At Topsail Island, Topsail Beach and Surf City allow vehicles on the sand by permit after Oct. 1, but only for fishing. North Topsail Beach allows four-wheel-drive vehicles on the beach without a permit, but only at the North End by New River Inlet.
"You pretty much have to be engaged in the activity of fishing," said Douglas Skipper, marina attendant at the town-owned Bush Marina in Topsail Beach. "They want to see that you are out there actually fishing, and they do periodically patrol. Sometimes they'll kind of hang out and make sure everybody has a permit."
Permits typically sell well beginning in September, but sales numbers this year got an extra boost from the two-week federal government shutdown, Skipper said.
"We had a lot of inland folks from up around Raleigh, Duplin County and Cumberland County," he said. "When they had the government shutdown, it affected the national seashore so we were kind of inundated with a lot of those folks."
From Sept. 15 to Oct. 1, Skipper sold around 450 annual permits, at $25 for residents and $50 for nonresidents. The town expects to make $17,000 from beach-driving permits this year, a relatively small chunk of change, according to Town Manager Tim Holloman.
"Seventeen thousand dollars is less than a third of a penny of our tax rate," he said. "It generates some additional revenue, but we do it basically just to control access and to keep the beaches safe."
Not that fishermen mind, Skipper said.
"I think it's just kind of the novelty of actually being able to drive on the beach," he said. "It's kind of a North Carolina tradition for a lot of folks."

Medical Needs Drive Partnership
Victoria, March 13, 2012
Accent Inns, the local BC owned and operated hotel chain, and MEDIchair Home Healthcare stores across British Columbia are excited to announce a new partnership. It's a fact of life that sometimes we need to travel to attend specialized medical appointments, surgical procedures or to support our loved ones when they need it most. It's also true that more and more of us require additional mobility and healthcare products to help maintain our freedom and quality of life.
The new partnership allows Accent Inn guests easy access and cost savings for mobility and healthcare products while away from home, and both informs and assists MEDIchair clients regarding special rates for their medical travel. "When we started learning about the crossover needs of our guests and MEDIchair's clients, it became obvious that together we could assist our customers even more as partners," Mandy Farmer, President Accent Inns.

Ignoring an autumn-like chill on this otherwise sunny May 13th day, 233 golfers teed off at the 27th Annual Cardinal's Open to raise nearly $700,000 for Catholic Charities programs that provide help to New Yorkers in need.
A signature event of the Cardinal's Committee, for Charity the Cardinal's Open is held each year at the historic Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.
Following a shotgun start, golfers began their rounds on the East and West Courses, competing in longest drive, closest-to-the pin and hole-in-one competitions.
A cocktail reception and dinner overlooking the course topped off the evening. Former New York Jet Joe Klecko joined former New York Met Rusty Staub to auction a variety items that raise funds for persons in need. Some of the hottest items included threesomes at elite New York golf courses, dinner for four at Rao's, and golf packages to Pebble Beach and Kiawah Island.
But perhaps the most meaningful were individually auctioned bottles of Silver Oak, Beaulieu Vineyard, and fine Italian wines. Emphasizing the purpose behind the golf event, Mr. Staub announced that $250 can feed a family of five for a month. Golfers responded by buying 93 bottles of wine, priced at $250 per bottle, to fight the battle against hunger in New York.
The Cardinal's Committee for Charity (CCC) is a membership of caring leaders in the New York business community who support Catholic Charities at the request His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York. The generosity of the members of CCC enables tens of thousands of individuals and families live with greater dignity through the compassionate help of Catholic Charities.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Good value, looks more expensive than actually is I chose to purchase two of these tables to use as nightstands in my bedroom. The color is a true espresso and matched my dresser perfectly. They were easy to assemble, just need to attach the legs. My one complaint is that there was an apparent crack in the top of one of the tables that was fixed with glue and painted over. I just put a lamp over the spot and you can't tell. May 8, 2013

A BILLION KUDOS 2 U WORLD MARKET!!!!....WE'LL COME BACK TO GET MORE STUFF FROM YOU GUYS SOON!!!! :D -Anna & David February 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoJo95 Beautiful Product I bought this mug as a Christmas present for my mother and she loved it! The mug is beautifully crafted and well put together! I did expect the handle to be a little bigger, but other than that I am happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend to other people. December 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RWNS Love it! I love this mug! It looks unique and so fun! Planning to buy a few more as gifts. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LG12 cute! Such a cute mug! I love elephants and this is perfect. Great value January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cheveyo Love Cute, Durable. I use him all the time for Coffee.. August 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eevee Beautiful and quirky This is honestly the best mug I've ever owned. The handle wasn't easy to use but the overall look of this piece made up for it. I bought one a year ago and broke it a few days ago after dropping it. I was heartbroken but I'm glad I found it online! I'm definitely buying a new one. I don't favor elephants but this is such a cute, unique mug I couldn't pass it up. Great for a cup of coffee or tea :) April 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by kurt1017 My son loves the mug It is a beautiful mug and my son loves it. The handle is very hard to use. The tusk block you from gripping the cup better at the top of the handle. The trunk of the elephant makes the handle to small to actually grab it securely. The mugs only down fall is the handle. The handle on the other hand makes this mug so beautiful. April 28, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by EllieFont ADORABLE! The mug itself is excellent. Its a sturdy shape and the drinking vessel is large enough for a serving of coffee and a generous amount of cream or milk. The only issue I had with this mug was the handle. The handle (elephant trunk) isn't as substantial as I would have liked. I can only fit two fingers around the handle as opposed to grasping it with my whole hand. The handle only really becomes cumbersome if you are enjoying the mug with a VERY HOT beverage. Otherwise, I love showing it off. It's ADORABLE and elephants are my favorite animal. August 28, 2012

Instead, we'll be focusing our efforts on doing a few things really, really well: PokeRep and walkthroughs for major Pokemon games.
That said, the Forums is still really behind the main site in terms of popularity. The main site can definitely go a long way in helping the Forums.
I agree we need to be more welcoming to new members. Encouraging them to post in the intro forum is a good start.
