Jackson, Haywood settle tug-of-war over mental health agency jobs
Written by Quintin Ellison- Jackson still 'economically distressed'
- Christmas comes early in the Valley: Massive giveaway helps hundreds of Haywood families
- Cullowhee advocates seek to sharpen vision of community plan
- On a mission to fight drug abuse, help families
- UPDATED: Undercover bust targets dealers in every corner of the county
- GroWNC presents to EDC

- Jackson leaders search for equity in fire tax debate
The mental health agency Smoky Mountain Center will not be buying and moving into Waynesville's former Department of Social Services office building after all, leaving Haywood County back at Square One trying to unload the large, dated, four-story brick complex built decades ago as a hospital.
DSS had outgrown the space and moved into new offices in a renovated Walmart earlier this year. The center expressed an interest in buying the old office building earlier this month.
The agency had weighed uprooting its headquarters from Sylva and moving to Haywood County, taking with it 60 jobs. The primary motivation was finding a larger space to house an additional 100 jobs being added in the next two years as Smoky Mountain Center gears up to oversee a larger segment of mental health services.
But, the proposal received strenuous political pushback from Jackson County and leaders in the far-western counties concerned about potential job losses in their neck of the woods.
Brian Ingraham, area director for Smoky Mountain Center, and Shelly Foreman, who oversees planning and public affairs, emphasized that the agency merely had been exploring options when considering the old hospital in Haywood as a site for their expansion and new headquarters. But when that option was taken to Smoky Mountain Center's board of directors last week, they ruled it out — to Haywood County's obvious chagrin.
"Well, it is disappointing. But I do understand the situation," said Bill Upton, a Smoky Mountain board member and Haywood County commissioner. "They were caught between a rock and a hard place. And there will be other opportunities for Haywood County."
Haywood still stands to gain a slice of the new jobs Smoky Mountain Center will be adding, which could now be placed in several locations across its 15-county service area, Foreman said. Haywood could end up with a majority of those new jobs, while Jackson gets to keep its existing ones, Jackson County Commissioner Jack Debnam said.
The mental health agency is poised to morph into basically a public health insurance company for anyone who receives mental health, developmental disability or substance abuse services through Medicaid.
"The situation is fluid," Ingraham said. "We have to adapt to that and plan for the best possible outcomes that we can."
Ronnie Beale, a Smoky Mountain board member and Macon County commissioner, said "this wasn't the time to be buying any property."
Beale said the board vote was not unanimous, and that a strong argument was made that Waynesville is closer to Asheville, thereby increasing the applicant pool the agency can draw from for jobs.
Beale said that he doesn't buy arguments that it will be more difficult to recruit workers into the far western counties than into Haywood County, which is better poised to draw on the workforce pool in neighboring Asheville.
"That's part of the stigma is that you can't hire people out here," Beale said. "I think we can."
As for what to do with the old hospital in Haywood County, Haywood County Manager Marty Stamey said the county would continue its marketing efforts.

By following 11 easy steps, you can create the most succulent and tender prime rib roast you'll ever serve.
Comments: 48 | Views: 18494 | Success: 98% |
All of the roasts can be placed in the same pan; however, make sure there is good space in between them so the air can properly circulate. In terms of cooking time, you will just have to keep testing. The time will depend on your oven and how large each roast is. Have fun! Cheers!
Shopping at costco always look at the meat, there is one section where they sell all the prime cuts. Always pick a 6lbs boneless rib look at the price and put it down, The meat looks beautiful, My wifes b-day this week so I bought one. I don't think there"s any diff, in cooking it but just wanted to make sure.
There are many recipes for cooking corned beef and cabbage. In fact, if you search Rouxbe you will find one that is cooked in Guinness. Most recipes call for "boiling" the beef (braising); however, it can also be baked. Here is another recipe for one that is baked. And just for the heck of it, here's yet another recipe for you.
As for how much to cook per person, it does depend on what else you are serving and how much people eat. Figure about 1/2 lb per person of raw meat. I would say about 8 to 10 lbs. Of course, I err on the side of too much, rather than too little as leftover corned beef is awesome!
You may also want to brine the meat prior to cooking it. Also, depending on how you are going to serve it, you may also want to cook it ahead and then refrigerate it overnight. This will make it easier to slice, portion and serve the next day (as per the lesson in Pot Roasting).
Good luck and enjoy!
The correct equipment is a must; I suggest an Alto-Shaam hold and serve oven. This equipment has never failed me. Roast (whole) a 112 prime rib (lip on) roast, this is the most common cut served as Prime Rib in restaurants due to less trimming/ more fat; therefor it will hold longer and will be more cost effective/ less waste.. Season, but take it easy on the salt. For the best results and even cooking and the least amount of shrinkage, cook to 110-115 degrees and hold rare and reheat to order covered with lettuce; this will hold the color/appearance. Forget the all day service at first and set a 3-5 hour window for which you will serve. Once you have a base line for service you can increase the window and stagger your roasting times.
I hope this helps; I'm much better explaining while speaking then writing, I'm most positive the Rouxbe staff can better explain. Good luck.
Hi Ruben,
I agree with Myles on two accounts. One, I would shoot to serve the Prime Rib for dinner only. If there are left-overs, serve a hot beef sandwich for a special the next day (e.g. beef dip).
Secondly, you really need to make sure you have the proper holding equipment (or oven where you can control the holding temperature). When I worked in the industry, we used an Alto Sham oven as well for cooking and holding. It is an amazing piece of equipment. In fact, we used to cook the prime rib the day before to about 110 (about 1 and 3/4 hours) and then we'd hold it in the oven set at 140 degrees over night. The prime rib was perfect the next day.
I would plan to cook and serve this until it runs out. So rather than re-heating it, just hold in a warm oven (above 140% for food safety reasons). I would cook to about 125 degrees a couple of hours prior to dinner service. Then take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes (out of oven - to slow down the cooking process) and then place back into the 140 to 160 degree holding. Then just let it rest for a couple of hours (don't cut until your first order). The carry-over cooking will cook this another 10 degrees or so (so you likely will have to serve medium-rare to medium for all).
Hope this helps.
In general, there should be no reason to rinse the meat. If it is wet cured or "enhanced" (i.e. it comes in a vacuum sealed bag with some solution), then it's wise to quickly rinse. You will want to make sure the surface is thoroughly dried (paper towels work well) before seasoning and roasting. Enjoy!
The time it takes to cook prime rib (or any other meat) will depend on several things — what temperature it was cooked at, was it brought to room temperature before it was cooked etc.
Here is a chart that will provide you with some estimated cooking times for roasting meats.
You may also want to check out the lesson called "How to Cook Prime Rib" (in particular topic 4) as we do go into quite a bit of information on this.
As for cooking 2 prime ribs instead of one, it shouldn't really make that much of a difference. Again, refer to the lesson for info on. Cheers!
Hi Caroline- Three hours for tempering the prime rib sounds perfectly fine for a roast of that size...as long as the ambient temperature of your kitchen is in the regular home temperature zone not "restaurant" kitchen temperature! If you have any worries, just temper a bit less. Enjoy!
To cook a prime rib to medium, medium-well, you will just need to cook it a bit longer. I encourage you to watch the lesson on "How to Cook Prime Rib" for many information on this. In particular, check out the topic called "Checking Roasts for Doneness". Also, be sure to read the attached Drill-down called "Estimated Roasting Times for Meats". Hope that helps. Good luck. Cheers!
I'd like to follow this recipe for a boneless roast, but are there any special considerations, such as lowering the sear or roasting temperature at any point? I'm worried about drying the meat out, but I hope that as long as I am checking the temperature, I can't go too far wrong...
There are not really any other special considerations that you need to consider when cooking a boneless rib roast.
Whether bone-in or boneless, it is best to start checking the internal temperature sooner than later. If you are cooking a boneless roast, err on the lower end of the scale when it comes to the internal temperature.
Also, be sure to review the lesson on "Cooking Prime Rib". You may even find it helpful to read through the associated discussion tab. Cheers!
Hi Darren- If time is an issue, simply start a bit earlier... or have some starters on hand to tide the crowd until the main course is finished. It's up to you... but the results of the low temperature process are worth considering. If you'd like to, try a higher temperature - as I'm unsure what other timing constraints you may have.

Rachel Welte is the Weekend News Anchor and a General Assignment Reporter.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A Southern Colorado man whose leg was amputated following a motorcycle racing accident, takes his first steps in months thanks to a non-profit.
Limbs for Life was founded to provide assistance to uninsured and underinsured individuals who are in need of prosthetic care.
Each year the non-profit helps about 175 people in the United States, and 300 overseas.
One of this year's recipients is Bodie Packham. His foot and ankle was seriously damaged in a motorcycle accident more than six years ago.
"Within the first three years after the accident I went through ten surgeries," Packham said. "They saved my leg but it was just a lot of pain all the time, all those years."
The pain a nine on a scale of one to ten almost everyday.
"I had an accident at work where I slipped and reactivated a lot of the problems down there, and the pain level shot out the roof and I could not stand it anymore," he said.
Desperate for relief, Packham made the difficult decision to have his leg amputated below the knee.
There was just one problem, his insurance did not cover it.
"Bodie called back in Janurary, he said 'I have a surgeon who is willing to do the amputation, but I need a prosthetist on board,'" Mandy Myers, Owner of Horizon Prosthetic, said.
"My doctor and Mandy and Limbs for Life all got together, and we did the amputation," Packham said.
The operation was in February, and now less than three months later, Packham is taking his first steps on a new prosthetic leg that was donated by Limbs for Life.
"It is amazing, it is such a great feeling to walk again," he said.
As Packham adjusts to life with his new leg, he is working with Myers and Horizon Prosthetics to find his level of comfort.
Just another step in his journey of healing.
"Being able to just do things, and not have any hesitation to reach his goal," Myers said.
"I have set some goals, to do the incline before the end of the summer, and then another one a year from now to hike Pikes Peak," Packham said.
This week Horizon Prosthetics is hosting its 5th annual prosthetic collection drive.
New and gently used prosthetic devices and corresponding supplies are needed.
Of course you can also make a monetary donation, all of which will go to the Limbs for Life program.
Horizon Prosthetics is located across from UCCS in the University Office Park.

This was the biggest waste of 3 hours of my life and a total rip-off. Lame dialogue, props, talent and definitely not kid-friendly despite what the delusional owner said. The biggest MYSTERY of the night was what the heck what the white stuff that was poured all over the "chicken." Better Business Bureau, it's time to close the longest running Mystery dinner show in Arizona.......Please.
I get the impression the buffet is leftovers from some other restaurant. I would consider going hungry instead of dining here again. It is not just one thing either. Dirty place, low quality food, everything seems to be at room temperature except for a cold glass of water.
Horrible horrible customer service, the food was cold when it came out and they just recently raised the price of almost everything by $1 - I would pay the price if they had half a clue how to manage and treat their customers. This is my 2nd bad exp. as I gave them a 2nd chance thinking the first time was maybe just a bad day for them. Wrong!!!! I will NEVER eat at this location again - nor will any of our friends or family.
The worst cross-fit gym in Tucson. I was a member at this gym, until I noticed people getting injured, not using good technique or form!!! The owner of this gym- Jennifer Higgins is totally strange. She drops people for not following a paleo diet, or participating as fully as she expects. If the ownership of this gym was better, I think it would be a much better place. It is dirty and small and the trainers aren't exceptional. Save your money!!! There are much better/cleaner/nicer/professional Xfits in Tucson.
If there was a ZERO star that's what I would rate this place as. The owner - ROSS HORWICTZ - hung up on me when I called and was inquiring about seating arrangements and he would not honor a certificate to his own establishment! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND HARD EARNED MONEY TO GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!! I would reccomend finding something else to spend over a hundred dollars on! Oh, and by the way, gratuity of 18 percent is automatically tacked onto your bill!!! So you're tipping even if you are not satisfied which in my opinion makes me think that there were a lot of unhappy customers and had to start that policy!
Don't waste your time or money at the Swan Rd location. It's hard to believe the owners allow this place to operate using the same name as the Dove Mountain store (which is absolutely fantastic). A visit to Swan Road found disinterested, messy wait staff and food that was not worthy of the Vero Amore name. No water was offered, had to ask for menus, no offer of a wine list, grey colored prosciutto in the appetizer..... Not good.
Spend the time and drive to Dove Mountain for the real Vero Amore. You will be shocked at the difference.
In April, The last time I was at Janos J-Bar and I do mean the last, there were no entrees or appetizers on the menu that were not laden with blazing hot chili peppers. I asked the waitress if she noticed this and she said she did and so did many diners and they complained. I asked her why Janos put peppers in everything and she replied, "He has just gone crazy with peppers." I asked if he grew them and that made them profitable to use instead of herbs and spices and she chuckled. She said the only solution she knew was to order a plain vegetarian plate and request no peppers as the other items already had hot pepper in the dishes including the crusts and batters. The plain veggie plate was twenty something dollars she thought. I politely told her I can steam veggies at home and I gave her back the menus and we left. Don't dine at J-Bar unless you really like food so hot with pepper it will burn your mouth.
Weak. Don't waste your time. Try Monkey Burger.
Delectables is anything but delectable. The food is adequate at best, extremely small portions, and way overpriced considering the quality. The atmosphere is dingy, the service stinks, and the food is nothing special. I don't know how this place keeps staying in business, let alone getting positive reviews in various magazines; they probably paid to have the publicity, because the place is horrible. Would never eat there again, and would advise anyone who reads this review to do the same and not waste their money.
Air roasted coffee and then refrigerated, I can't think of a worse method - unless of course you roast coffee in a cast iron skillet and then put into the fridge...
Easily the worst espresso in Tucson, not to mention anywhere with an espresso machine. The grind is set so course all you get is over-extracted hot water, almost threw it up.
On the plus, they do have good scones.
Tucson doesn't have any "top" Chinese restaurants, and unfortunately, the Tucson Weekly doesn't have any reviewers that know the difference between Chun King in a can and Alpo.
"Expect to spend at least $25 per person —with occasional missteps"
Excuse me - do you, Jacqueline, have a clue what $25 per person for 4 people buys in a really great but not over-priced place - with a tip we're at say $120+
There's something missing in your value system. Graduate and get a job and get connected to reality.
We used to frequent Claire's for breakfast when we lived in NW area about 5 years ago. We had to be in Catalina early on a recent Saturday and thought we'd revisit. First clue should have been how empty the place was for a Saturday AM. Food and service sucked. Don't know what happened to this once great place.
ZERO dancers , expected music, lousy mixed drink prices, The 'owner' was outside the club....claiming 'they' sold the place a long time ago.....(meaning the asian woman I met at least 2 yrs ago) DARK dank , uninviting.....The 'owner' was NOT friendly , had to answer his cell phone, and acted very defensive when I approached the entrance to the joint. This is just days after the SHOOTING, in which two employees were shot by some freak who , yes, got away. It was a mexican male as the local news reported. This place seems rather hostile because of this.
Unless this place was rebuilt, this place is a fire trap with ancient wiring, mold everywhere and bathrooms that need to be rebuilt. Last winter the bathroom floors were underwater.
Music can be good, but the bar is a dump.
Anyone who gave this place 5 stars must work there.
My girlfriend will never go there again and we love to dance. We call this place, 'The Sewer's Edge.'
The people running this place were rude, unprofessional, and the service was ridiculous. Not to mention how the staff reeked of marijuana. I would not recommend this place.
My daughter and I ate here for lunch. The service was excellent- prompt and polite. The food left us puzzled- we appreciate Thai food for the rich medley of spicy flavors, but of the meals we were served, the only flavor that stood out was garlic. It wasn't terrible- but odd.
We've enjoyed Char's and Mina's much more.
Among the worst Mexican food joints in town. And their online coupons. What a joke. Never again!
Terrible service. Have been a few different times. Food only so-so. My husband & I ordered a hamburger to split and they tacked on a split plate charge! We don't mind paying a split plate charge when they actually bring additional sides but we're talking about a hamburger that was simply cut in half! When we complained, the waitress was rude and corrected the bill but then threw it across the table at us. Have written two letters to the owner about this incident with zero response. This place obviously does not care about custmer service or service recovery.
I had the gumbo and my friend had the etouffee. Both were tasteless. The Gumbo was thin, watery, it seemed they had forgotten the roux. Spices were absent...The etouffee was also not a winner. The hurricanes were quite weak and the overall impression was depressing. Not recommended for New Orleans food.

Here is something i was thinking for along time : capturing a flash movie area and save it to video file.
Hopefully I found a great AIR example to do this on : http://www.zeropointnine.com/blog/simpleflvwriteras-as3-class-to-create-flvs/
This application saved bitmapdatas to FLV video file.
I turned it into non-AIR application, and i took the opportunity to add several improvements:
- easier constructor creation (simply specify displayobject to capture and video fps)
- memory optimization
- faster video computation
- internal capture management
- capture area parameter
In the example captured area is inside a movieClip, and captured FLV is saved to local disk.
Usage :
// capture screen_mc clip , with 20fps framerate // note that clip bounding box will be used as capturing area var _myRecord : FLVRecord = new FLVRecord(screen_mc, 20); // start recording (or resume capture) _myRecord.start(); // stop recording (or pause capture) _myRecord.stop(); // you can use clean() to start a new record with start(); _myRecord.clean(); // and finally get the FLV raw data of FLV to save it or send it to PHP script var _file : FileReference = new FileReference(); _file.save(_myRecord.flvRawData, "video.flv");
And here is source download link.
FLV files are quite huge, so use it wisely !!!
To reduce FLV file size, lower FPS parameter and restrict capture area :
// capture screen_mc clip , with 15fps framerate, and restricted capturing area var area : Rectangle = new Rectangle(92,9, 160,224); var _myRecord : FLVRecord = new FLVRecord(screen_mc, 10, area); // survey FLV size if it's going to big var flvSize : Number = int(_myRecord.flvLength/100000)/10; // size in megabytes if (flvSize>35) trace("FLV size is larger than 35Mo);

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C A+F Athletics: The sport programs are very good, even though I do not partake.
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: I do enjoy living off-campus. The only complaint I have is the parking for classes is not very good and often have to walk a far distance.
Health & Safety: I live off campus thus I do not have any review of the services because I do not use them.
C A+F Facilities: MCC is slowly going through the process of updating all of their architecture. Some of the buildings, especially the men's dorms, haven't been updated for at least twenty years. But the library and chapel building as well as the women's dorms have recently been reconstructed. The campus center has much potential, and you will find people occasionally using as a place for socializing or studying, but it is certainly not the center of student life. Overall, the facilities are average (the men's dorms are definitely below average) but are soon to be updated.
B A+F Scholarships: I had little trouble going through the financial aid process. Once I did my part, MCC took care of the rest and I was very pleased with the results.
C A+F Local Atmosphere: The biggest attraction that Manhattan has to offer is the Flint Hills Discovery Center, a sort of children's museum. The mall in Manhattan is the biggest shopping center in the area with a wide variety of stores. There are two large parks which locals probably spend the majority of their time. These parks are spacious and have many things to do. Local coffee shops are great. Other than that, Manhattan's biggest feature is definitely KSU.
D A+F Health & Safety: I do not know that MCC actually has campus police. There are not many measures taken to ensure safety, though I do not feel that any of the students or faculty are threatening. The only safety threat I see is non-students who come to campus, sometimes on heavy drugs. MCC is also located right next to Aggieville, a place in downtown Manhattan where many of the KSU students go to get drunk on weekends. We sometimes have drunk people walk through campus because of this, and there is little security other than what the faculty can provide.
D+ A+F Overall Experience: I was a student at Manhattan Christian College and they have (mostly) great people there and good-hearted people who are interested in your success. However, one person has completely ruined my experience at MCC. That person is Dave Krahling. He works in the financial office. He absolutely abuses the little power MCC gave him and seeks every opportunity to apply fees and charges extra to students when he can. He is NOT nice about it and is very nasty to the students he interacts with. He charged me AT LEAST one fee (ranging from $100-$1200) EVERY semester I attended MCC without giving me any warning and was very unpleasant about how he carried himself. He lied about a deadline I "didn't make" and I had to get another staff member to confirm he was wrong, which he (that other staff member) did. There is no reasoning with him and when you try to talk to him his answer is "because I'm the financial officer and that's what I've decided." He treats you like a little kid. So any charge he puts on your bill are non-negotiable. I realize that since it is his job to make sure students pay their bills, it is in the nature of the job to potentially come across as mean to some people but Dave takes it WAY too far. He carries himself in a way that makes it obvious he is against you, as opposed to working for/with you as a college student. I get along with the majority of people I meet, and I'm writing this review because it is not just some personal vendetta. Almost any student at MCC you ask will tell you that Dave is hostile and self-seeking. And while they probably will not admit it, any staff member who works near him knows how rude and hostile he can be. Other staff members have apologized to me many times on his behalf. A college is a business and they need to make money but Dave takes it way too far. From his malicious-spirited attitude to the way he takes advantage of students, he is not reflecting well on the institution and ultimately on Christ. Unfortunately, if I would have known all this before I would NOT have attended Manhattan Christian College. There ARE good people there but it's sad how one person can ruin such a potentially sweet experience. Do NOT attend MCC unless you are ready to deal with extra fees, charges, and a stubborn, angry man who seems to take out is anger on students.
D A+F Diversity: MCC is mostly full of Christians but there are a few who come to the school for easier classes or just sports. We don't have many races, it's mostly populated with Caucasians but everyone is extremely accepting. You can definitely get in a heated conversation over politics with some people at the school, they are mostly republicans.
A+ A+F Scholarships: They have always helped me as much as they possibly can, and it's helped my stress level lower a ton! Some of the online billing is confusing, but overall that department does a very nice job.
A A+F Health & Safety: I would say our campus is fairly safe. It's kind of scary at times because people walk through our parking lots after going to the bars, but nothing to be worried about.
B+ A+F Health & Safety: Campus is pretty safe. Manhattan is a small college town anyways so not a whole lot happens. MCC campus is right next door to Aggieville though (clubs) so game days, fake patty's day, and new years you just have to be careful because there are a lot of drunk people.
A+ A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are tons of options surrounding the campus and they're all low-price. Many of them a fast because they are fast food restaurants, so there's not too much of a wait.
C+ A+F Nightlife: Theres a place called aggieville that is walking distance from the school filled with clubs and restaurants. There is a no drinking policy at Manhattan Christian College but you can still go to the clubs 18 and older for some. K-State is also next door so you have a lot of opportunity to hang out with people outside of MCC.
C- A+F Scholarships: For the first year, it's phenomenal if you take the time to apply but after your first year, it goes downhill and the college is not too great with offering many scholarships and they're not good with anything financially to be honest.
B+ A+F Parking: Parking on campus is great. There is a small parking lot but not many people have cars so it works out. It costs around $50.00 per semester for a parking permit and if you get a ticket you will have to pay 25.00 which is costly.
C A+F Athletics: Since it is a private college, there isn't many sports available and the ones we do have, have a low attendance since the team performance is never spectacular.
A- A+F Athletics: The athletics are a great way to get involved in the shool and meet new people. Also the teams are really great. They win a lot of titles.
B A+F Majors: Have good grades and good GPA. Be a hard working student.
B+ A+F Majors: I am thrilled with the program I am in. I would pick the same program if I had to do it again
A A+F Majors: I am currently a dual degree student, which means that I am currently going to Kansas State University and Manhattan Christian College. I am studying to graduate with a B.S in Accounting and a Masters in Business at Kansas State University. At Manhattan Christian College I will be studying just a Bible leadership degree. I am super excited to pursue an accounting degree, I love it.
B A+F Scholarships: The financial aid process is a little slow, and could be improved. I really wish that it was easier and not so stressful. You tend to have to continually ask when you need something done
A+ A+F Campus Strictness: Manhattan Christian College is a private Christian school. They have many policies to abide by such as, no drinking alcohol, no doing drugs, no smoking or use of tobacco, and no cheating. We sign an integrity contract agreeing to these things and more. I love having these rules enforced, it helps to keep me from doing the wrong things.
A- A+F Local Atmosphere: Manhattan is a moderate sized town, with lots to do and tons of great people. All of the churches seem to have positive uplifting atmospheres, and the teachers at Manhattan Christian College and Kansas State are both amazing.

I quickly updated the drivers from 280 to 295.33 (install package from Nvidia website) and tried to play several Youtube videos. Again after a couple of playbacks, the video is not shown but the counter is, several seconds of audio can be heard and then it gets cut off. Well, you get the drill. I will post a logfile tomorrow, gotta go and do some stuff atm.

Agree, also with me, I'll get a log file when it happens, for me is almost every time after a wakeup from suspend and when I choose Live TV on with TVHeadend or play and AVI. kill the xbmc process then I can play the same video. Plus when I connect with to same video with another XBMC (WIn7) PC it plays the file/live TV ? Strange.

XBMC is then still responsive and I can go where I want up until I press X to stop the movie. Good to know that I'm not alone with this problem. It's happened with SMB shares and USB devices, seems to happen when XBMC first loads. I'll play video but just the sound plays for a few seconds then stops and counter keeps running til I hit stop then XBMC will freeze. Then I'll hit Alt+Print Screen+k which takes me back to login screen. I log back in, XBMC reloads, I then can play same video with out problem. It does seem to go away after the first crash and re-loading of XBMC... I run an ION2 card, sounds like from earlier posts that this is a Nvidia driver problem? |

I have the same problem ever since I upgraded to 11.0
I have updated my nvidia drivers to the ones from the x-updates PPA but am still getting the crash. The only errors I see in the log are about PulseAudio, which is not installed (it was removed, hoping to solve the issues). Here's the log: http://pastebin.com/YpWBJ8nd Flow of the crashes is: I start a video, it will start playing but never show the video, only sound is played. Next action I do with the remote will freeze XBMC completely. I SSH onto the machine, kill the process, start it again. I can then play the same video without problems. Problem will happen after playing some more videos, anywhere from 2 to 15.

I don't think it is an Nvidia-Problem
Somebody read this Thread about crashes on Ubuntu 11.10? http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=125759&page=3 It seams that the only 100% solution was to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.4. I know it is still BETA, but it seems to be more stable then 11.10 ever was. For me, I can tell that I had not any crash since my upgrade, that is exactly 3 weeks ago. Before that, I've had a crash every 2nd-3rd Video. Unfortunately, I don't know if XBMCbuntu users are able to upgrade their system, everyone else should try it. (don't forget to backup, just in case... ) |

I would like to see the Dev-Team re-release "XBMC Live - eden" with XBMCbuntu 12.04 LTS.
12.04 LTS is all most ready to be released and it would be the better option. |

I had a similar problem with my Revo and laptop running Win 7, videos would run for about 20 secs then freeze but sound would continue. Videos would play fine outside XBMC and using my ATV2. Both had Nvidia GPUs and I had updated both to latest driver.
I was using Aeon Nox Git skin but after changing back to Aeon Nox 2.0 everything plays fine. Steve |

In order to track this down we need to reduce the number of variables. Please start trying to reproduce with default skin and no additional add-ons. Please enable debug logging. Doing this by an advanced setting (check out the wiki) avoids the onscreen debug info.
There is a known issue with NVidia driver 295. It may cause deadlocks if an application tries to spawn a process. Please check the number of processes running when the issue occurred. Is there more than one process related to xmbc? |

There is one cardinal rule when playing a basketball game with LeBron James. Never, under any circumstance, take your eyes off of him when he has the ball in his hands.
Glance away for a second, and you could wind up on a highlight reel of bloopers with a bloody nose or busted lip — the result of a lightning-quick pass.
James is a fantastic scorer, and his shooting numbers have never been higher than now, but at his heart, James is a passer. Near the top of the list of his many gifts, and probably the one for which he takes the most pride, is an ability to routinely turn a no-look pass from the top of the key into an easy layup for his teammates.
"It's called being 6-8, and then it's called being an unbelievable passer — just a high IQ of the game," teammate Dwyane Wade said.
In the first period of Sunday's win over Cleveland, James whipped four no-look passes into the paint to teammates. Two went for layups and two resulted in free-throw attempts. James finished the game with eight assists to go along with 28 points and three rebounds.
James is tied for 10th in the NBA in assists per game (7.1), but No. 1 among players who are not guards.
There isn't a statistic for no-look passes that somehow find wide-open teammates under the basket, but according to Hoopdata.com, James is averaging 2.6 assists per game that result in shots at the rim. Overall, James is 19th in the league in the category. The league average is 0.8 per game.
Of course, even these statistics are somewhat deceiving. Many times, a driving guard will draw defenders at the rim and then dish off to a teammate. Wade is an expert at such situational no-look passes, said Heat center Chris Andersen.
"Wade will most definitely find you on a real late, late pass," Andersen said.
But James' no-look passes are different. He can read a defense and zip a pass from the top of the key — like a missile past the defense — to a wide-open player at the rim.
"LeBron will snap that ball to you on a zip line," Andersen said. "So, you've got to be ready for it, or you're going to get smacked in the face with it."
Routinely attempting to thread no-look passes from long distances in half-court sets is something coaches do not recommend. It's a high-risk play, but James' rare mix of height and court vision allows for the otherwise impossible.
When coaches refer to James as a direct link to Magic Johnson, this is why. Finding players under the basket and passing it over defenders without looking in that direction is basketball sorcery. A born wizard, James has been doing this since high school and it's the first thing scouts recognized.
"He has a great feel, and that's a skill and gift you can't teach," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "First of all, he has the vision … and he has the size that he can see over the tops of defenses and he has the strength and the creativity to deliver the pass in different ways but with velocity.
"That's the probably the very first thing I noticed when I saw the very first clip of LeBron James in high school was his passing and vision."
Heat forward Chris Bosh learned that the hard way.
No, Bosh has never been hit in the face by a no-look pass from James, but he did have a few of James' passes ricochet off his hands during practices. From time to time, it still happens.

Jon Ronson talks to Denis Fillion, who was behind one of the first major internet hoaxes.
Denis used to post threads and make small talk on a technical forum called Anandtech. Irritated by the misogyny he found on the site, he invented a female character to join in the chat. Soon he found himself flirting with his own character and weaving a tale so believable that the character took on an air of reality, even for him. As the relationship deepened, Denis was forced to take drastic action to get out of his own hoax.

Side Dishes: Skinny Pancake, Ariel's Restaurant, Vermont Fresh Network
Holy crêpe! This Thursday, from 2 to 6 p.m., staffers at Burlington's Skinny Pancake will dish up free crêpes in three flavors — cheesy pesto, hot apple crispy and Nutella — to celebrate the eatery's 1-year anniversary.
Greedy gobblers, take note: The gratuit versions will be a bit smaller than standard skinnies, with a limit of one per customer.
You'll have to burn some fuel to get there, but Lee Duberman and Richard Fink of Ariel's Restaurant in Brookfield are aiming to help strapped diners save money with an ongoing series of reasonably priced "Sunday Farm Suppers."
The duo is charging a mere $20 per person for a three-course meal, with optional bottles of selected wines at $15 a pop. Each week, the menu will feature two appetizers and two entrées — diners get to select one of each — plus a sweet seasonal treat. Meat-free options are always on the list.
The main dishes at the inaugural supper last weekend were Misty Knoll chicken with mole poblano and braised greens; and fresh pasta with asparagus, three-herb pesto and house-made ricotta.
Foodies who haven't picked up the recent special edition of Vermont Life may want to track down a copy. Titled "Our Food, Our Farmers," it boasts features about how to create a "perfect cheese board" with local cheeses; the role migrant workers play in Vermont agriculture; and how a group of visionaries, such as George Schenk of American Flatbread, Bill Suhr of Champlain Orchards and the folks at NECI, has helped transform the Green Mountain state into a "food mecca."
But the tasteful coverage doesn't stop there. The issue's web extras include a bunch of recipe demos from 2007's "Vermont Chef of the Year," Michael Kloeti of Michael's on the Hill.
Soon to come on Vermont Life's website is a sneak peek into Kloeti's kitchen on a bustling Friday night. The editors call it "Vermont's own Kitchen Confidential." Judging by Anthony Bourdain's gossipy, drug-addled tome, one can only hope the video is a little tamer than its tagline suggests.
Kloeti and his wife Laura have plenty of other stuff on their plates, too. This Wednesday they host the first Vermont Fresh Network Farmers' Dinner of 2008, with a five-course menu inspired by the bounty of fresh local produce. On Thursday, they celebrate the resto's sixth anniversary with a 20 percent discount on food and bottles of wine, and free chocolate truffles for customers.
Somehow the Kloetis find time for gardening — their organic plot is bursting with herbs and cherry tomatoes destined for the restaurant. And they've created a spiffy new cocktail menu featuring refreshing quaffs such as cucumber martinis, rhubarb-mint mojitos and strawberry-lemongrass fizzes. Bartender, I'll have the garden in a glass . . .

At Matco Services we specialize in accelerated corrosion testing that is designed to simulate a variety of atmospheric and environmental service conditions. These procedures are often used in combination with electrochemical corrosion testing, a sophisticated test method designed to evaluate the performance of paints and protective coatings (discussed below). These methods are used to (1) identify performance parameters of a product, component or material, (2) identify areas more prone to corrosion attack (such as cracks and crevices), (3) determine if a product's materials are suited for a specific environment, (4) utilize the test data generated to make product improvements, and (5) testing of materials to verify conformation to various industry standards including ASTM, NACE, MTI, ISO, ASME, AWS, and API. We also offer custom corrosion testing designed to meet specific requirements using the most advanced forms of corrosion testing equipment that is routinely calibrated and maintained to ensure accuracy. It is often the case that products that have undergone corrosion testing and adjustments made to improve corrosion performance secure a competitive edge over their competitors with similar product types.
Example Reports:
To demonstrate the high quality of testing and report writing at Matco Services' the following example reports are available for review.
Matco Services' is also capable of performing a wide range of laboratory testing from standard ASTM, DOT/EPA, and NACE test procedures to customized test programs. This includes electrochemical corrosion testing, immersion testing, and a variety of other test methods and procedures. Matco Services also performs routine corrosion testing to ensure that supplier products do not vary in formulation or performance, which can be problematic to those who have used these products in their manufacturing process. Products or components that have not maintained original requirements specified are often found to have played a role in the failure of other products where changes were made without the knowledge or approval of those that rely on these various products or components in order to manufacture other products or to provide a service.
Products and or components that would benefit from corrosion testing are often those that must have an independent evaluation performed at a qualified test lab. Industries that require corrosion testing include aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, entertainment, and a variety of others. Tests are typically performed in accordance with a standardized procedure, such as those developed by ASTM and ISO. Commonly tested products at Matco Services include parts and assemblies for companies such as Honda, Chrysler-Daimler, Harley Davidson; cable and wire assemblies for companies such as Comcast, AT&T, Q-West, Direct TV, and Dish Network; and prescription bottle labels for companies such as Rite-Aid, Walgreens, and CVS.
These efforts are undertaken at Matco Services' Corrosion Testing and Product Development Lab in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since 1993 Matco Services has provided an array of corrosion testing and product development methods that are designed specific to a client's needs. These procedures often include the use of a standardized test protocol referred to as "Tier Testing for Coatings Evaluation" that is performed in stages in order to eliminate unnecessary testing and to weed out inferior coating systems.
Also part of Matco Services corrosion testing are the often times interconnected testing and inspection services that are used to improve product performance or to develop new products:
Accelerated Corrosion Testing: Accelerated corrosion testing is used for various purposes to simulate the conditions that a manufacturer or supplier product will be exposed to in actual service conditions. As the performance of a product is often linked to the service environment where it is placed, it is of the utmost importance that products are manufactured taking the various aspects of inclement weather and corrosive environmental conditions into consideration.
The use of laboratory exposure testing provides manufactures and suppliers with an advanced understanding of the limitations of the components used in manufactured products prior to the purchase and or inclusion of these products in a larger component of final product. This forward thinking approach not only limits the time, energy and income spent of inferior products but also limits the risk of losing market position and clientele and customers due to inferior product performance. In a nutshell, accelerated corrosion testing is used to induce corrosion and failure in a relatively short period of time when compared to corrosion produced as a natural occurrence. This provides the means for decision makers to tweak, redesign using alternate materials, or eliminate a particular supplier with inferior products altogether.
Matco Services' scientists can design any type of electrochemical corrosion testing set up or create any environment for corrosion testing.
The Corrosion Testing and Product Development Lab at Matco Services boasts high tech instrumentation that includes computerized Corrosion Electrochemical Testing Equipment (AC And DC), Accelerated Corrosion Testing Equipment, Environmental (CF and SCC) Corrosion Testing Equipment, Alternate and Immersion Testing Equipment, Cabinet Testing and Mixed Flow Gas testing equipment. As every good scientist knows, having the right tools is half the battle in providing accurate and reliable test results to the client.
How does it work? Accelerated corrosion testing is achieved by subjecting the test components to conditions that are more severe than normal service conditions. This results in shorter lives than would be normally observed. For example, the results obtained at higher temperatures (i.e. accelerated conditions) may then be extrapolated to room temperature (i.e. to the normal conditions) to obtain an estimate of the life under normal conditions.
Accelerated factors are based on scientific description of the corrosion failure process, but give little insight into the statistical distribution of failures. Reliable accelerating factors or acceleration rates cannot be obtained by casually calculating failure rates at different levels of stress. Acceleration can only be determined by examining the degree to which the life distribution shifts, in time, under the influence of a stress. Several requirements must be addressed in evaluating the usefulness of a stress level for testing.
Since the major purpose of accelerated testing is to compress the normal degradation process into a reasonably short period, it is important that the conditions simulated by accelerated testing, at least have some direct correlation to normal operating conditions. It is also very desirable to retain failed devices in a condition that allows them to be carefully examined to determine the causes of failure.
Electrochemical Polarization and Microstrcutral Characteristics of two Types of Coatings (Alonized & Chromatized) in acidic chlorides. Chromatized coating exhibits superior corrosion resistance in this application.
Electrochemical Corrosion Testing (EIS)
Matco Services' Galvanic Test Set-Up (Special Test Set-up for Corrosivity Determination of Presrvatives Such as CCA, CBA, ACQ, CA...and New Chemical Treatments)
To evaluate coating systems in terms of their corrosion resistance and potential to degrade when exposed to corrosive test solutions, electrochemical corrosion testing is used. This procedure is performed prior to and after accelerated corrosion testing (atmospheric or environmental) in order to determine the following:
This enables coating performance to be measured in terms of electrochemical impedance as a function of time. Good coatings have a high impedance value and allow only very little current flow at low frequencies. Current flow is a key process in corrosion.

Beyond the black box
By Susan Gonsalves
Benefits of early intervention highlighted It's time for everyone embedded in the behavioral health world to "move out of the treatment black box," develop a broad range of early interventions and take a more public health approach to mental illness. Those views among many others were presented by Arthur Evans, Ph.D., commissioner, Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disabilities, during the Kennedy Forum's inaugural conference in October held in Boston. Evans, formerly a deputy commissioner and director of managed care at Connecticut's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, was among panelists at a session about prevention and intervention [More]

Outpatient treatment legislation revisited
By Phyllis Hanlon
On October 22, the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse in Massachusetts held a public hearing on House Bill 1792/Senate Bill 906, which calls for assisted outpatient treatment (AOC). Coincidentally, the non-profit Treatment Advocacy Center (TAC) released a 13-page report that examined available treatment options for those with mental illness in Massachusetts. The Commonwealth earned a failing grade, based on the quality of its treatment laws. In 1998, at the request of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Kay Khan, Democratic representative for the Eleventh Middlesex District, filed H.B.1792 and during the ensuing years, the legislation has [More]

Senate bill reintroduced
By Rivkela Brodsky
Prompted by the Sept. 16 shooting at the Washington Navy Yard that left 12 dead, as well as the shooter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) urged for the passage of stand-alone mental health legislation that she says will "strengthen the nation's mental health system." "Given the clear connection between recent mass shootings and mental illness, the Senate should not delay bipartisan legislation that would help address this issue," says Ayotte and co-author Sen.

Bill seeks EHR funding for mental health providers
By Howard Newman
In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, President Obama's economic stimulus plan, provided nearly $20 billion in incentive funding for health information technology. Known as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, this federal program enables physicians and other healthcare providers to receive incentive payments for implementing electronic health records (EHRs). While doctors, hospitals and community healthcare centers were able to take advantage of this program and upgrade their recordkeeping, an important group of service providers were not included. Psychologists, mental health providers, substance abuse professionals and facilities offering these services were not eligible for [More]

EIP rules still an issue in Vermont
By Rivkela Brodsky
Ever since Tropical Storm Irene hit in 2011 and the Vermont State Hospital was destroyed, the state has been in the process of revising its mental health rules. The legislature passed a bill last year creating a decentralized system and various stakeholders have been working with the state's Department of Mental Health on the new regulations and are in agreement on most rules, but are still trying to navigate an issue with Emergency Involuntary Procedure or EIP rules. Hospital officials and advocates for patients with mental illness are debating whether the Vermont regulations should continue to require a psychiatrist to [More]

Expert on gun violence describes new APA policy draft
By Catherine Robertson Souter
We may be focusing on the wrong areas when it comes to the public discourse on gun violence. But coming to a consensus on what are the key points can be difficult in a political climate where any discussion becomes heated and polarizing. Adding to the dilemma, says Robert Kinscherff, Ph.D., J.D., senior associate at the National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice, is the difficulty in finding funding for new research to identify ways to combat the problem. Kinscherff, who is the associate vice president for Community Engagement at the Massachusetts School for Professional Psychology, was selected to [More]
