While the Supreme Court was making health care news in Washington, voting to uphold the Affordable Care Act on Thursday, a smaller gathering at the United Nations was discussing another, completely non-binding document that could nevertheless impact the care of many more people than will the decision by the august justices.
Put together by the World Health Organization (WHO), and therefore probably condemned to be largely ignored by the West, it's a set of standards that enable countries to figure out if they're abusing the human rights of their mentally ill people.
The WHO QualityRights Tool Kit, as it's endearingly awfully named, is a booklet that medical personnel, bureaucrats, parents, clinic workers, politicians — and the mentally ill themselves — can use to assess whether the practices a facility or country has in place to treat those with psychosocial illnesses are up to snuff.
There's a pretty good chance they're not. Forty percent of the leading causes of disability around the world are mental health-related (depression is No. 1.), according to figures provided by Dr. Michelle Funk of WHO's department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse. That's a lot of people to look after. "Poor quality care is not exceptional," said Dr. Funk. "Scandalously, the health care facility itself can often become the violator of people's rights."
Some of these facilities use techniques that are positively Dickensian, chaining people, tying them to chairs or leaving them to sit for hours in their own waste. (The chained Indonesian woman in the image above, for example, has been kept that way by her family because she has schizophrenia.) In El Salvador, explained Carlos Enrique Garcia Gonzalez, one of his country's representatives to the U.N., more than half a century of political unrest left the country with just one mental health facility and widespread stigma not only against the mentally ill, but also against those who care for them. (The situation is on the mend now.) But, while developing countries are the hardest pressed, "[human rights] violations are happening in countries which are rich and poor," said Funk.
The Tool Kit takes as its one of its key premises that mentally ill people have to be involved in decisions about their own care, which is still not a given in most countries and is, frankly, often not the simplest route to getting people treatment. But advocates are firm that real change, and real treatment, is impossible without such input. "For as long as others make decisions for us, we don't have rights," said Robinah Alambuya, president of the Pan African Network of People with Psychosocial Disabilities. "No amount of medicine or western technology can replace our human rights."
The WHO document is ambitious. At the very least, it's meant to inform people of the kind of care that the mentally ill — people whose disabilities may much less visible than those who are physically affected — should be getting and how to begin to implement those standards. It's a little like the summer reading lists many Northern Hemisphere school students are getting around this time: aspirational and daunting-looking, but worth it for the benefits.
Of course, any tool is only as good as the worker who wields it. There is no WHO police force to go around and enforce the standards. Adherence is largely left to the countries themselves. If a facility or medical administration doesn't care to change its practices, or can't, there's little a tool kit can do. But perhaps, as with the summer reading lists, it may start to create more healthy habits.

PCManFM is "an extremly fast, lightweight, yet feature-rich file manager with tabbed browsing". Source: PCManFM on sourceforge. PCManFM is the default file manager of the LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment).
- 1 Installation
- 2 Volume handling
- 3 Tips & troubleshooting
- 3.1 No "Applications"
- 3.2 Trashcan not working?
- 3.3 Not able to mount USB or other devices?
- 3.4 No icons?
- 3.5 NTFS Read/Write Support
- 3.6 gnome-open opens "Find" dialog instead of the directory
- 3.7 No "Previous/Next Folder" functionality with mouse buttons
- 3.8 --desktop parameter not working / crashing X-server
- 3.9 Terminal emulator advanced configuration not saved
- 3.10 Make PCManFM remember your preferred Sort Files settings
- 4 Available Versions
Run the following command to install:
# pacman -S pcmanfm
You will also require gamin (a replacement for FAM, which required a daemon) to pick up events such as file and directories changes:
# pacman -S gamin
Volume handling
PCManFM is able to mount and unmount devices, both manually and automatically. This feature is offered as an alternative to CLI tools such as pmount. There are various 'up-to-date' versions of PCManFM (see below), and different volume handling strategies can be chosen.
Mounting with udisks
The current release of PCManFM is able to handle volumes through udisks. If you want to use this feature, make sure the D-Bus daemon is installed and running. See the D-Bus page for details. Note that you will most likely need to start dbus-launch from your .xinitrc or the autostart script of your window manager. Instructions on how to do so can be found on the D-Bus page or the page for your window manager.
Mounting with gvfs
If you prefer to use the Gnome Virtual FileSystem, the procedure is the same as before but requires additional packages:
- gvfs (and dependencies);
- (optional) gvfs-smb, gvfs-obexftp, gvfs-afc, etc. in order to support additional features.
Mounting as normal user
To be able to mount devices like removeable USB harddisks, flashdrives or DVDs as a normal user, the PolicyKit toolkit needs to be configured accordingly. The configuration files can be found in the subdirectories of Template:Filename. The rest of this section will show you how to configure PolicyKit to allow users belonging to the "storage" group to mount and umount temporary devices.
As root create Template:Filename (or some other filename of your choosing ending with .pkla) containing:
[Storage Permissions] Identity=unix-group:storage Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount;org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-eject;org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-detach;org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-unlock;org.freedesktop.udisks.inhibit-polling;org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-set-spindown ResultAny=yes ResultActive=yes ResultInactive=no
PolicyKit will notice the changes in the file and update its behavior without any action from you. Last thing to do is making every user that should have the ability to mount drives a member of the storage group:
# usermod -a -G storage USERNAME
If you want to grant other permissions instead of granting them to members of the storage group, or simply want to know what you were just doing, check out the manpage:
$ man pklocalauthority
Tips & troubleshooting
No "Applications"
# pacman -S gnome-menus
Trashcan not working?
# pacman -S gvfs consolekit
Make sure that you also add "ck-launch-session dbus-launch" (in this order) to the exec statement which launches your window manager/desktop environment inTemplate:Filename.
So for example
exec openbox-session
would become
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session
Be aware, gvfs requires many gnome dependencies.
Not able to mount USB or other devices?
# pacman -S consolekit
Make sure that you also add "ck-launch-session dbus-launch"(in this order) to Template:Filename.
No icons?
If you are using a window manager over a desktop environment and notice you have no icons for folders and files, install an icon theme:
# pacman -S tangerine-icon-theme
Then edit Template:Filename or Template:Filename and add the following line:
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tangerine"
NTFS Read/Write Support
Install ntfs-3g (See NTFS-3G):
# pacman -S ntfs-3g
gnome-open opens "Find" dialog instead of the directory
Remove or rename the file Template:Filename. If you're running pcmanfm-mod from AUR, remove or rename the file Template:Filename.
A method to fix this is with Xbindkeys:
Install xbindkeys:
# pacman -S xbindkeys
Edit ~/.xbindkeysrc to contain the following:
# Sample .xbindkeysrc for a G9x mouse. "/usr/bin/xvkbd -text '\[Alt_L]\[Left]'" b:8 "/usr/bin/xvkbd -text '\[Alt_L]\[Right]'" b:9
Actual button codes can be obtained with xev[1].
xbindkeys &
to your Template:Filename to execute xbindkeys on log-in.
--desktop parameter not working / crashing X-server
Make sure you have ownership and write permissions on Template:Filename
Setting the wallpaper either by using the --desktop-pref parameter or editing Template:Filename solves the problem.
Terminal emulator advanced configuration not saved
Make sure you have rights on libfm configuration file:
# chmod -R 755 ~/.config/libfm # chmod 777 ~/.config/libfm/libfm.conf
Make PCManFM remember your preferred Sort Files settings
You can use View | Sort Files to change the order in which PCManFM lists the files, but PCManFM won't remember that the next time you start it. To make it remember, go to Edit | Preferences and Close. That will write your current sort_type and sort_by values into ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf.
Available Versions
There are several versions of PCManFM currently available:
This is the package in Arch's extra repository as "pcmanfm". The current git test version of it is available in the AUR as pcmanfm-git. More information is available on the LXDE Forum.
PCManFM 0.5.2
The legacy PCManFM (version 0.5.2, which is currently "pcmanfm-gtk220" in the AUR repository) is frozen and is no longer being maintained by the original author. This version uses HAL for mounting. More information is available on the project page.
PCManFM-Mod adds user-definable commands, other features, and bugfixes to the legacy version of the PCManFM file manager v0.5.2. This version builds and installs as "pcmanfm-mod" and will run independently of other versions of PCManFM you have installed on your system. This legacy version is still desired by some due to more stability than the newer 0.9.x rewrite in progress, less Gnome dependencies, and the use of HAL rather than gnome-vfs. PCManFM-Mod is available in the AUR as pcmanfm-mod and as pcmanfm-mod-prov (latter provides pcmanfm). More information is available at IgnorantGuru's Blog.

11. The "I'm searching personally" Traveler
The "I'm searching personally" traveler is trying to find something. It's something unique for every or even the "I'm searching personally" vacationers. Beat to allow them end up but make certain they get about securely.
12. The Incessant Speaking Traveler
The incessant speaking traveler doesn't leave anybody alone. They crave attorney at law on just about any subject. Frequently they're very worthwhile people but enough is sufficient.

Boo-Freaking-Hoo: RIAA Complains That 'The Deck Is Stacked' Against Them On CES Panels
from the like-the-kkk-complaining-about-discrimination-against-it deptOkay, this is just ridiculous. A few folks have sent over the latest edition of Politico's Morningtech report, in which RIAA representatives at CES bitch and moan that the "deck is stacked" against them in the conversation here:
There are far more SOPA/PIPA opponents than supporters on hand here, as one might expect. The RIAA, however, is also on scene this week at the show -- and a spokeswoman expressed concern about the conversation so far. "It sure seems like the deck is stacked to ensure no meaningful or balanced debate occurs on an issue that is very important to American jobs and our economy," the spox said.Are these guys serious? First of all, the attendees at the show are overwhelmingly against the bills from everything we've seen. Seeing Ron Wyden and Darrell Issa get standing ovations for opposing the bills should say something. And it's not that "the decks are stacked" against them through some nefarious means, but that the majority of people are against them because they don't like these bills. More SOPA supporters -- including RIAA/MPAA/US Chamber of Commerce folks (all of whom are here) -- could have come, but it appears not many did. And that's because not too many seem to support these bills.
But, more to the point, who the hell does the RIAA think it's kidding? "The deck is stacked"? At a trade show? How about back in Washington DC where this bill was written? In that case, the MPAA/RIAA folks were very, very active in the very creation of the bills in question. The tech sector? NOT ALLOWED at the table. The Judiciary Committee hearings? Stacked five-to-one in favor of the bill, and the "one" against the bill was Google -- who is Congress' punching bag, and was put there so that Congressional reps could grandstand against the company and pretend that only "evil Google" is against the bill. Plenty of us involved in the actual innovation economy -- the startup entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who create all this innovation offered to step up and meet about these bills -- and we were denied.
The deck is stacked? Hell yes, it's stacked. It's stacked almost 100% in favor of rushing through a bad bill that fundamentally alters both the legal and technical underpinnings of the internet, making the innovations we all want and need -- including the innovations that are already helping musicians and filmmakers and other artists -- much, much more difficult to get off the ground.
The deck is stacked? When Hollywood outspends all of those opposed on this issue with their lobbying dollars 10-to-1, and Congress simply ignores the widespread outrage and legitimate concerns of those opposed to the bill, you'd better freaking believe that the "deck is stacked." It's stacked in the other direction entirely.
So, boo-freaking-hoo to the ridiculous folks at the RIAA. So damn sorry that once you leave your DC bubble and come out to the real world where innovation actually takes place you find reality is against you. But if you want to talk about how "the deck is stacked," let's take a look back into the DC echo chamber where these bills have been crafted and are being pushed through. Yes, the deck is stacked -- and it's stacked completely against innovation and openness. So forgive us for not shedding a tear at the fact that your poor, overly-sensitive lobbyists have to hear some of the real world concerns about this bill.

I don't know about you, but I've always had a lot of respect for our armed forces, and now that the war in Iraq is finally over and the war in Afghanistan is winding down, we as family physicians are in a unique position to help our U.S. troops when they get home.
AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I.
More than 2 million U.S. soldiers served in either Afghanistan or Iraq -- or both -- during conflicts that started in 2001 and 2003, respectively. According to the White House, half of the veterans returning from those two wars will receive medical care in the private sector rather than from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). That private sector care largely will be provided by us.
In fact, a recent article (extract) in(jama.ama-assn.org) JAMA: the Journal of the American Medical Association, noted that there are more than 22 million veterans in the United States; only 37 percent are enrolled in the VA health care system, while 56 percent have private health insurance, and 7 percent have no insurance.
These Americans have sacrificed much for our country, and now we are in a unique position to care for them and their families, but for some of us, that may prove difficult because we may be seeing injuries or disorders with which we have little experience.
According to the VA, about one-third of the veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan will experience signs or symptoms of combat stress, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Army Times reported in 2010 that there were 950 suicide attempts(www.armytimes.com) each month by veterans who were receiving treatment from the VA. From 2005 to 2010, an average of one service member committed suicide every 36 hours, according to the VA.
Nearly half of the veterans treated by the VA after serving in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom were diagnosed with a mental health problem, and these issues are not affecting just the troops. More than 40 percent of active-duty service members have children.
Some of these medical problems fall into areas in which we might have little or no experience, but we still want to -- and need to -- be there for these veterans. That is why the AAFP is partnering with first lady Michelle Obama's Joining Forces campaign, which calls attention to the problems facing veterans and offers support and resources to military families.
Shortly before the launch of the initiative last April, (then) AAFP Board Chair Lori Heim, M.D., of Vass, N.C., said during a meeting at the White House that the AAFP would support such a campaign, but physicians and other health care professionals often don't know what to screen for in military patients or what to do when a problem is identified.
In response, the AAFP has created a Web page to help members help this important group of patients. Resources offered by the Academy include
- a screening tool for PTSD;
- an American Family Physician article about caring for returning veterans;
- a link to a free, one-hour AAFP-approved CME course designed to help primary care physicians diagnose, treat or refer postdeployment mental health issues in military services members; and
- patient information about PTSD and TBI from FamilyDoctor.org.
I often have found it challenging to get my patients -- military or otherwise -- to open up and discuss issues such as those identified above. And I'm not always certain how to proceed when they do, so I look forward to using and learning from these AAFP resources to help me take better care of the veterans in my practice.
Any of you who have an interest in caring for military members and their families also may contact the Citizen Soldier Support Program(warwithin.org), which connects service members and their families to primary care and behavioral health professionals who are trained to address issues that affect military members and their loved ones.
They've done their duty. Now let's do ours.

PuroClean of Nashville is now under NEW OWNERSHIP & MANAGEMENT.
We are now PuroClean of Nashville.
Unlike any other water damage repair company, we rescue and restore lives and property with the PuroClean QuickDry System™ in the shortest possible time and at a much lower cost than the traditional drying system many of our competitors use.

Call the experts at PuroClean if your property floods or experiences other water damage. We are available 24/7.

Timing is critical to reducing further damage. PuroClean's licensed and certified technicians work compassionately, professionally and quickly to contain the water first.
Recognizing that water damage causes a devastating setback to families or businesses, our Paramedics of Property Damage™ respond with urgency and sensitivity 24 hours a day, seven days a week to professionally salvage your property. We understand the trauma you are facing so we rescue your property with compassion and minimal disruption to your daily life. ..
Our professionals identify the full extent of water damage, both visible and unseen, by using sensors such as moisture detectors and hygrometers. Meanwhile, we help homeowners overcome their feeling of helplessness by explaining the process in a way that they can understand what is happening, what to expect, and what they can do.
Our PuroClean QuickDry System™ uses applied psychrometric science — a proven process that properly manages dehumidification and temperature to effectively and efficiently facilitate drying.and help ensure the best possible outcome. *We can save almost everything: drywall, wood, carpets, and most contents!
High-Capacity Air Movers create a vortex, similar to the motion of a tornado. This method speeds up the drying process.

CURA PERSONALIS Latin phrase meaning "care for the person," cura personalis is having concern and care for the personal development of the whole person. This implies a dedication to promoting human dignity and care for the mind, body and spirit of the person. MAGIS Latin meaning the "more," magis embodies the act of discerning the best choice in a given situation to better glorify or serve God. Magis does NOT mean to always do or give "more" to the point of exhaustion. Magis is the value of striving for the better, striving for excellence. MEN AND WOMEN FOR AND WITH OTHERS This value embodies a spirit of giving and providing service to those in need and standing with the poor and marginalized. We are encouraged to pursue justice on behalf of all persons. UNITY OF MIND AND HEART Our hearts and minds are not divided; they are congruent when the whole person is educated and engaged. CONTEMPLATIVES IN ACTION Although we are thoughtful and philosophical, we do not merely think about social problems, we take action to address them. Developing the habit of reflection centers and strengthens one's spiritual life and guides our actions. FINDING GOD IN ALL THINGS This may be the one phrase that sums up Ignatian Spirituality. It invites a person to search for and find God in every circumstance of life; God is present everywhere and can be found in all of creation.

Delving into the Turkish coffee cup
Posted by TheShot on 18 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Home Brew, Machine
At home, I've been on a major café cubano kick lately. Part of that could be inspired by the Fidel Castro deathwatch. But a bit of my influence goes back to two very good Cuban expat friends of mine, Rolando and Elena, whom I met when I first moved out on my own to Maryland nearly 20 years ago. They introduced me to my first addictive taste of real Cuban coffee (and my road to hell!) — joking that I needed to sit down before drinking it. They quickly stopped joking when it became clear that my frequent requests for "refills" were also no joke.
Now while I did once have a Turkish housemate, Levent, while working at Stanford, unfortunately the guy never taught me anything about Turkish coffee. Which is a damn shame, because it is also one of my favorite coffee preparations. However, we at least have yesterday's Turkish Daily News, which published an article on the history of Turkish coffee … and a little on how to prepare it: Delving into the Turkish coffee cup – Turkish Daily News Sep 17, 2006.

[…] I also tried their cafecito, which is essentially an espresso pre-sweetened with sugar. IMO, it gets its rave reviews in part due to a lack of alternatives in town — as it missed something compared to the Cuban coffee I knew and loved from my former neighbors on the East Coast. While Cafe Lo Cubano's cafecito is smooth, even delicate, it lacks that "you had better sit down for this"-punch that my neighbors delivered from their stovetop. […]
[…] to think I once had a Turkish housemate who never bothered to teach me this. (You hear that, Levent?! And thanks again for all the times you dialed "9-1-1″ instead […]

April 2013 BP Claims Update
Its been a while and I do apologize for that, its just been a busy time. Let me give a quick update on where we are at and what is going on right now.
BP Settlement Latest News
So Firday the 19 of April the lawyers filed their complaint for all the people that opt out of the BP settlement. You can see a copy of the complaint the lawyers filed on your behalf if you are an opt out here
Its a document in PDF that is 291 pages long so make sure that your computer can handle it. So if you are with the attorney Brent Coon & Associates or D Miller & Associates I would suggest you do the following if you have opt out of the BP settlement.
Open up the document and save it to your computer. When you have it saved to your computer then you can go under edit and find and that will bring up a search field. Now search for your personal claim or business claim by name to make sure you are on the list.
If you are part of this group about 10,000 people that just filed suit against BP here is what will happen next.
BP Oil Spill Claims Update Phase 1
So the lawsuit has been filed in Federal court if you live in Florida or Louisiana and in State court in Houston Texas if you live in Alabama or Mississippi. There are a few reasons why the attorneys have done this that I will not go into here but this is where you lawsuit it. Most likely the lawsuits will end up with Judge Barbie in New Orleans in the MDL and from there go back out to state court again. This is just a matter of how things are working in an MDL and when judge Barbie gets the cases back to the state courts or Houston Texas the fun begins.
Everybody Are Looking For A Trial Date On Their BP Claims Lawsuit
Now comes the wait where the attorneys will wait for the trial judge to put any of their cases on the trial calender for trial. Normal wait time in USA is 18 month from lawsuit to trial. There are tons of pre-trial motions and other fun stuff going on between now and trial but once that first trial date is set, the clock starts ticking for BP.
If BP don't want to try these cases at trial they will have to settle them before the trial start or before the jury reaches their verdict so the lawyers will have the advantage when a case is up for trial. Many times in the past I have seen one case come up for trial and the lawyers will settle 100-200 cases on that one case that is up for trial. This will most likely also happen in this case.
You will all hear from your lawyers on what they need from you to make your case ready for trial, if you are one of the cases with very little documentation don't worry to much just give them what you have nothing more and nothing less. But keep in contact with the attorneys and make sure to give them your new contact information if you move.
The wait will be painful for many, and hard to handle as there is no money coming why we wait. Also why BP has made the Settlement open ended to opt back in but you can never opt back out. I have seen many many offers that has come back with we already paid you x,xxx and you have nothing more coming. People ask me what they can do about and I have to tell them nothing. When you are in the settlement you have to take what they give you and there is nothing lawyers or judges can do about it. So if you can stay opted out and wait for trial no mater how hard it gets. When trial comes the cards are all in favor of the attorney you are with and at that point you should see justice and you getting what you are owed.
What Is Going On In The Current Liability Trial Against BP
The liability trial against BP has gone on for a few month now and its really boring but here is what is at stake. If BP loose its 4 times as much they have to pay. So it goes from like 5 Billion to 20 Billion. If they loose people that work on the water like fishermen can possibly get punitive damages. On the other hand if BP don't loose the trial and only have to pay 5 billion maybe they have some billion left over that they can settle all the civil lawsuits with so you sometimes have to be careful what you wish because if BP takes a big hit in this trial they might not be so willing to pay the civil lawsuits that are coming after. Then again if BP gets over confident over a win in the liability trial maybe they will fight the civil trials harder. Its tough to say but we have a good judge that will make the right call on this one I think.
BP Claims Payment Update
So the Deepwater Horizon settlement fund keeps paying out money on claims that have been processed. Its taking forever because there is now over 150,000 claims in the settlement. Also the BP appeals on most claims are slowing down the process. I am hearing that they have hired 100 new processors to speed up the claims processing but we have to wait and see how much faster its going.
Gulf Coast Claims Facility Updates
All the people that filed a claim with the GCCF and was in GCCF Claims Processing will now have to fill out new forms with the Deepwater Horizon Settlements. If you are a business you should probably have an attorney do all this work for you. If you are an individual I would suggest you visit one of the Deepwater Horizon claims offices find the list here. Deepwater Horizon BP Claims Centers.
If you are looking for a GCCF Claims Update it will not come as they are closed and now you have to file with the Deepwater Horizon People.
BP Oil Spill News Update
Just last week BP said that in four states the clean up work was done, this would be all states but Louisiana, we all know that is some BS that they are letting out to the press and the media. We also know that this oil spill will haunt them for the rest of this companies life as the long term effects of this oil spill and the use of Corexit as a clean up process will make many people sick going forward. If you are still looking to get your BP claims done please fill out a form.

From the video case:
On a tiny island off the coast of Ireland, a new breed of terror is unleashed. In his quest to find a cure for cancer, a research scientist conducts an experiment involving mutated cells. But, this attempt to benefit humanity becomes a nightmare that threatens the entire human race.
The tranquil island is suddenly rocked by the mysterious death of a local farmer. When he is found in a cave, not a trace of bone is left in his body; he has been reduced to a horrible, shapeless mass. Enter eminent pathologist Dr. Brian Stanley (Peter Cushing) and Dr. David West (Edward Judd), a brilliant bone specialist.
Working together in a desperate race against time, they must find a way to destroy the seemingly indestructible, ever-multiplying horde of bone-eating creatures before the mutant monsters kill everyone on the island and spread like a deadly plague across the entire planet. (1966, color)
Mark says:
I credit Island of Terror for reigniting my interest in old sci-fi/horror movies. Several years ago I caught this movie on television. I remembered it from my youth and was enthralled to see it again through the eyes of an adult. As I was watching the movie, a friend dropped by and we finished watching it together. Afterwards, he suggested we rent a slew of old sci-fi/horror films and view them over the course of a few days. That's exactly what we did, and I have been re-hooked ever since.
What really makes this film work is the dynamic between the two lead characters, Peter Cushing (The Curse of Frankenstein, The Abominable Snowman) and Edward Judd (The Day the Earth Caught Fire). Both men play their roles (Dr. Stanley and Dr. West, respectively) without a trace of campiness. Edward Judd actually has more of the lead role, and gets the girl (Carole Gray), but it's Peter Cushing who gets the better lines.
Another interesting aspect of this film are the unusual monsters. They're sort of a large turtle-shelled creature with a single tentacle that extends from the front. They reproduce by dividing in half and producing a gunk that looks like some sort of Chinese noodle soup. They're not monsters you will easily forget.
If I were to find fault with this movie, it would be that it sometimes loses momentum. There's a particularly slow scene where we watch the doctors put on radiation suits. First the pants, then the shoes, then the top, and then the hood, and then they finally buckle themselves in. I'm not exactly sure why we had to see all that. Plus, the radiation suits are decidedly unimpressive. They don't look very sturdy and rather resemble cheap condoms.
Other than a lack of good editing, this film is highly entertaining. Keep in mind the significance this film plays in my personal history when you see my rating.
Island of Terror is directed by Terence Fisher (Horror of Dracula, The Curse of the Werewolf).
Scene to watch for: Dr. Stanley gives Dr. West a hand. Literally.
Line to listen for: "If I hear another sound out of you I'm gonna smash your face in and throw you out for those things to get."
FYI: This movie is also known as Night of the Silicates, The Creepers, The Night the Creatures Came, The Night the Silicates Came.
Mark's Rating: ! ! ! ! out of 5.

Shalom Y'All:
Purim everywhere is fun, but Purim in Israel is especially fun.
As you probably know, Purim commemorates the defeat of Haman in ancient Persia. Under King Achashverosh in 485-465 BCE, Haman, the king's advisor, sought to have all the Jews in the Persian Empire killed. Deliverance came through the hand of Esther the Queen, who unbeknownst to everyone, was Jewish. To celebrate, Jews listen to the Megillah reading at night and in the morning, send baskets of food to friends, give charity, dress in costumes, eat a hearty meal and drink alcoholic beverages.
There's no need to run around to special Purim shops, as the major supermarkets and many small stores as well, start selling Purim supplies about two weeks earlier. Items include boxes of chocolates, wines, hats, baskets, hamentaschen, paper boxes, ribbons, masks, candy and of course already filled Purim baskets.
Best of all, you can celebrate Purim for two days. All cities besides Jerusalem celebrate Purim on the 14th day of Adar on the Jewish calendar. The Megillah says that Shushan, which is a walled city, celebrated Purim for two days. To remember that, all walled cities in Israel, celebrate Purim on the 15th of Adar, one day later. Since Jerusalem is the only walled city in Israel, only Jerusalem celebrates Purim on the 15th of Adar.
So you can celebrate Purim outside of Jerusalem on one day and go into Jerusalem the next day for more Purim celebrations. The biggest Purim parade in the country is in Holon, but there's one in Tel Aviv and possibly other cities. A carnival atmosphere pervades the country and many public and private parties are held. A good time is had by all. Here are a few photos from the festivities in Jerusalem and Bet Shemesh.
Now as you know, when Purim is over, PASSOVER is not far behind. This year Passover begins on the evening of April 14, so it's only three weeks away.

RIP Zeppelin
We look Zeppelin home with us on July 4, 2008. He was not quite six weeks old, and certainly too young to be adopted, but his mom had abandoned him and his siblings. Right from the start Zep was very different from our other cat, he was more loving, sweeter, friendlier…but he was also a jerk who wouldn't cover up his poop in the litter box, who insisted on cleaning himself in my lap, and who wanted to sit as close to my face as humanly possible. I mean, the cat liked to sleep on my pillow. Zeppelin was my little buddy. Wes and I have three companion animals, and I love them all, but Zeppelin was MINE. He and Wes had issues, Zep liked to pee on Wes things-frequently. He never did this to me. Our friend Jeff likes to tell the story of how at our old place, Zep was dying to go outside and Wes didn't want to let him out; so Zeppelin, while looking straight at Wes, walked over to a $300 pair of hiking boots and peed in them. I'm not sure I've ever seen Wes so mad. "YOUR CAT RUINED MY SHOES!" Zep liked to pick fights with our other cat, and cuddle with our rescued dog. He liked sitting on heating vents and sleeping on my pillow next to my head. He liked to cuddle.
About six weeks ago on a Saturday I woke up and Zep wasn't in the house; which didn't concern me at first because our cats have a habit of sneaking out the dog's door. By that afternoon though, I was worried. I started to think he'd run off. A week later, i was convinced he was in someone's house. He's easily the friendliest cat I've ever been around.
I was cleaning trash out of the back yard yesterday (our rescue likes to steal trash and put it outside). I looked up and saw my poor baby dead. He'd been attacked (very recently by the looks of it) by an animal that was clearly much larger than him. I miss him so much. It's been a really rough couple of days.
Who uploads Christmas pictures in March?
So i got a LOT of food related items for Christmas. This is likely because I'm a food obsessed girl who's not really into clothes, makeup or seriously girly stuff. I use to be. I'm unhappy with myself physically though so i've gotten away from loving those things. sigh. work to be had.
Hot Apple Cinnamon Syrup: this stuff is interesting. Not everyday syrup.
THis is what happens with FOUR KIDS open presents at once. Yes, only four. The rest of us cleaned this up then opened our gifts.
Wes and I hosted Christmas dinner at our house. We had 18 people. INSANE.
Thanks, in-laws. Still haven't used this thing. I'm overwhelmed by it and the instruction booklet confuses me. Which is very frustrating since I've never had a problem figuring out kitchen devices
Heirloom beans.
I made this INSANE raw kale salad for my family. It was all eaten up. EIGHT bunches of kale with a lemon-tahini dressing. mmmmmm.
Heirloom quinoa. Black quinoa tastes no different than the regular stuff if anyone ever wondered if it was worth the extra money. It's not!
I had no idea this existed but it's awesome and has become a regular staple.
vegan buttermilk pie. basically this is like a lemon custard pie.
sparse decorations at my house; my husband is not a fan of holiday decor.
The Raw zucchini salad that was also part of dinner.
dance party for the holidays.
i made chocolate cookies with this. AMAZEBALLS.
haven't tapped into this yet-saving this for something special.
mom's house.
the best grits in the world; the only ones i like. you should buy them online. you won't regret it.
Happy Herbivore Cupcakes for the kids
spices from the in-laws. i had most of these but these are more potent than most; LOVE. Seriously you guys, go buy the roasted garlic powder from Williams Sonoma. It's INCREDIBLE.
Happy Herbivore Abroad Giveaway!!!
As some of you may know, I was presented an opportunity to assist Lindsay Nixon of Happy Herbivore back in September, just as she was heading to do her book tour of Finland and Ireland for Everyday Happy Herbivore. I've become close to Lindsay online and have immensely enjoyed assisting her. Now, Lindsay has a full time assistant, I handle helping out with Instagram and Twitter now, but It's a real pleasure being part of something I really believe it. it's with great excitement that I submitted to participate in 31 days of giveaways.
1. What's your favorite easy-to-make breakfast?
2. How did you choose Lily and Quaid's names?
As for LB, since *I* technically named Quaid, Scott thought he should get to name our daughter. He wanted her to have a really girly name and picked Lily. I thought Lily was too simple so I asked about adding "Bean" to it — and he agreed. I got to pick her middle name — Andalusia after my favorite part of Spain.
3. What's the least plant friendly place you've traveled to and how did you handle it?
4. What's your best rebuttal for when people want to include non plant items in holiday menus because it's "tradition"?
5. What's your favorite US city?
6. We know you don't eat broccoli and you're not an eggplant fan; are there any other plants that you don't care much for?
7. Do you ever have to cook separately for you and Scott? I know he is plant based, but sometimes that doesn't mean he eats the way you prefer eating?
8. How do you handle family potlucks when non-plant based people are your hosts, do you cook your own full meal and bring it along?
I have about a dozen posts on happyherbivore.com's blog about potlucks and what to feed omni's if you need recipe ideas.
9. What recipe creation are you most proud of?
10. What's your favorite main protein source: tempeh, seitan, tofu or beans?
Had to share. Drool.
Spaghetti Squash Gratin Vegan MoFo
I got a ten pound spaghetti squash for $2 at the farmer's market. It was so big that I wasn't able to slice the top off without assistance from my husband. I *never* have to ask for help cutting something. Anyways, I cut that bad boy in half, removed the seeds out with an ice cream scoop, chopped up 8 cloves of garlic, threw them in the squash halves, and baked them cut side up at 400 for about an hour.
I scraped the insides and ended up with around 6 cups of spaghetti squash. I thought there would be more!!
After baking this, I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I had a lot of ideas, but at the end of the day, I decided to do something new rather than something I knew would work. I've been in a food rut, so eating outside of the box is a great way of getting myself to be healthy and stay interested. After a few searches, I found a recipe for vegan spaghetti squash gratin made with almond milk and cornstarch. I didn't have cornstarch, and I'm really not fond of what it does to sauces anyways, so I decided to wing it and make a vegan white bechamel. The catch is that I'm trying to eat clean, so I was reallllllllllllly winging it.
Vegan Spaghetti Squash Gratin
Preheat the oven to 400. You want it nice and hot.
6 cups cooked spaghetti squash
8 roasted garlic cloves
Place the above in a baking dish and set aside.
2 T raw coconut oil
2 T whole wheat flour
2 cups room temperature unsweetened coconut milk (carton-not canned)
1/2 t salt
1/2 t garlic granules
1/4 t ground black pepper
1/4 t nutmeg
Heat coconut oil over medium in a large skillet until very hot. Sprinkle in flour and stir together for 2.5 minutes. Slowly whisk in coconut milk stirring constantly to combine and keep lumps from forming. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic granules. Taste to check salt/nutmeg/pepper/garlic levels and add more to taste. Heat over medium high heat until bubbling. Stir constantly until sauce thickens; for about 9 minutes.
Pour sauce over spaghetti squash and stir well to combine.
1/2 c whole wheat panko bread crumbs
1 t melted coconut oil
Combine the above and sprinkle over the top of the spaghetti squash and bechamel sauce mixture. Top with a few turns of fresh ground black pepper.
Bake for 35 minutes; until sauce is bubbling.
Don't judge my ugly square metal pan. My husband has managed to break two baking dishes and my small pyrex pan. He's a disaster with glass!!

A's rip Astros; Gray is strong
AP Baseball Writer
OAKLAND — Alberto Callaspo hit a three-run homer and the Oakland Athletics went deep four times to back Sonny Gray's strong pitching Friday night in an 11-3 rout of the Houston Astros.
Josh Reddick and Coco Crisp each added a two-run shot for Oakland. Yoenis Cespedes hit a solo homer in the second inning to follow up his two-run single in the first against Jarred Cosart (1-2).
Cespedes' single came one batter before Callaspo connected for his second home run of the season. John Jaso drew Cosart's fourth walk of the first inning before Reddick hit his first homer with his own towering drive to right field.
That chased Cosart, who retired only one batter before being replaced by Paul Clemens.
Gray (3-0) gave up more than one earned run for the first time this season. He allowed RBI singles to Dexter Fowler and George Springer in the fifth along with Chris Carter's sacrifice fly before Crisp homered in the bottom half.
Houston manager Bo Porter left the dugout in the third to yell at Jed Lowrie, apparently upset that the No. 2 hitter attempted to bunt with his team ahead 7-0 in his second plate appearance of the first inning.
Lowrie flied out in the third after two inside pitches.
Cosart received a mound visit in the first after consecutive one-out walks to Josh Donaldson and Brandon Moss loaded the bases. After a high pitch near Cespedes' head, the Cuban slugger lined a single into center field.
Cosart's quick exit ended a solid stretch in which Astros starters posted a 3.00 ERA over the previous seven games.
Gray allowed nine hits, struck out four and walked two in six innings as the A's handed Houston its fifth straight loss and sixth in seven games.
Springer went 2 for 5 while batting cleanup for the first time, two days after making his major league debut. Porter said he would have preferred to avoid putting the prized prospect in that position in his third game, but the manager wanted to shake up the lineup to get the Astros going.
Oakland's eight runs in the first two innings were more than the seven Houston totaled in its previous four.
Astros left fielder Alex Presley was a late scratch with flu-like symptoms and was replaced by L.J. Hoes.
NOTES: Reddick homered for the first time in 87 at-bats since Sept. 15. It was his fifth hit of the year. … A's LHP Scott Kazmir (2-0) is set to start Saturday after experiencing arm trouble in his last outing. … Springer got his first stolen base. … The Astros went 3-7 at the Coliseum last season and 4-15 overall against the A's. … Oakland pitcher A.J. Griffin, sidelined since the start of the season with an elbow injury, is yet to begin a throwing program and manager Bob Melvin isn't sure when that will happen. … Gray is 5-1 in nine career games against AL West teams.

The Rams added a second run in the inning on an RBI single by freshman Lisa Bonacasa (Deer Park, N.Y.).

The Rams were led by Maass who was 3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and a run scored. Genova and Bonacasa were each 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
Diesel and freshman third baseman Maria Mantagas (Brooklyn, N.Y.) each had two hits for the Bulldogs. Sophomore pitcher Marie Oneto (Brooklyn, N.Y.) picked up the win after throwing a complete game and allowing two earned runs.
In game two, Farmingdale State jumped out to an early lead scoring four runs in the first and two in the second. The Rams added five runs in the fourth en route to an 11-0 victory.
Walker had two hits, two runs scored and 3 RBI for Farmingdale State, while Bonacasa was 2-for-3 including a homerun with 3 RBI and a run scored. Senior left fielder Rebecca Richman (West Islip, N.Y.) was 1-for-2 with a homerun and two runs batted in. Freshman pitcher Chelsea La Marca (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) improved to 2-1 on the season after throwing a complete game six hitter.

An egg is broken into a canister. A card is clamped over the top and the canister is turned upside down. The card is apparently keeping the egg from pouring out. A child is instructed to hold the canisiter above his head. Now the performer pretends to forget what to do next so he pulls the card out from under the canister because that's where the instructions are written. Oops. The card says "DO NOT REMOVE"! After the laughter stops the canister is removed and the egg has vanished. The can is placed on the performers hand then lifted off. There's now a glass full of candy. Comes with canister, glass, and card.

tozeconstantino necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
This is a almost 30 year bike store belonging to my father in a small fishing place in Portugal called "caxinas". It is 15m distant to the sea and the sea marginal (or sea walk, i don't remember the name in English). In the old days there were a lot of costumers, many of them fisherman that needed their bicicles to ride to the boats. There were also a lot of children ridding bikes on the street wich doesn't happend so often now because the streets are not so safe and children have other more home-based distractions.
The culture we are trying to get across is one of experienced work (your bike will be alright in our hands). We are also trying to pass the idea that "Bike is health"
Everyone who might be in the mood of buying a bike our fixing their old bike to go get some fresh air.
I would like orange to be tried out and also a bit of blue, but be free to use other colors as well.
I don't know about this yet, but I would like to see some sea/ seawalk/ fishing/ fish/ elements, though I would like to see other works without these elements as well.
I guess bike elements are a must have, but fell free to do otherwise.
Hope you can help me out.

Clients of West Bay Residential Services, Inc. held their first annual holiday bazaar on Friday and sold quality handmade items, most of which are produced by the people West Bay supports through its residential and day service programs.
Crafts included Christmas ornaments, wreaths, handbags, pottery, magnets, themed gift baskets, paintings, greeting cards, and even baked goods.
They were joined by two other Rhode Island agencies dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities, Gateways to Change and Project Friends. All three organizations encourage clients to get out into the workforce and as a result, many participants began their own businesses.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., clients earned cash for their products, which they kept for their own needs.
"I'm saving my money to go on a Disney Cruise," said Lisa Marotto, 46, who made and sold pottery bowls and magnets.
Debbie Jette, 36, helped make jewelry.
"I like making sales," she said. "Santa Claus is my favorite part of Christmas."
Gloria Bray, 42, who asked Santa for a new radio for Christmas, enjoys painting wooden ornaments.
"It makes me happy," she said.
Cathy Keithan, 38, paints independently and sold her artwork. Additionally, she crafted 52-by-52-inch tablecloths with matching napkins, as well as aprons, bookmarks, jewelry and greeting cards.
"I can make practically anything," she said.
Keri Hickey, 29, enjoyed selling AVON products. She has been working for the company that promotes makeup, skincare, jewelry and other items for women for eight months.
"I love it," she said.
Wheelchair-bound clients create crafts, too. They design and instruct the staff to put together their visions.
Rebecca Beaton, 29, and Rebekah Larko, 28, are two examples.
"I make cards on the computer," Beaton said.
She also constructs jewelry. Diane Scott, direct care provider, assists her with stringing the beads.
"I'll say, 'What do you think about this?' and she'll say, 'Oh, no,' and we both laugh," said Scott. "Her designs always sell the most. She's brilliant at it."
Larko helped make various crafts, as well. While she cannot speak, she uses a communication board, a chart with letters and symbols on it, to express her thoughts. She said the best part of the bazaar is, "To make money."
Penny Merris, the day activity director, laughed at Larko's answer. She thinks taking part in crafting their items is important for clients.
"They enjoy making things and are such a big part of the creative process," said Merris. "It's great for their self-esteem because they are selling things that people value and it's good for socializing because they are meeting people from the community."
Scott agreed and said it helps them build confidence while showing the community the activities they do.
"It's very rewarding and reflects the work they've done all year long," she said.
Joan Horta, a member of the support staff at Gateways to Change and wife of Armand J. Horta, who was selling his book, "God's Intentions for Mankind," feels the same.
"They are proud of themselves and feel grateful to be earning their own money," she said.
Paul Scott, 34, is a carrier for the Beacon. He spent his time selling cookies at the bazaar.
"I'm having a good time," he said.
But he isn't the only client that works for the Beacon. Other carriers include Ed Corvese, 50; Stacy Upham, 27; Ronnie Johnson, 34; Arthur Seale, 28; Raul Rosa, 51; John Petit, 29; Mary Buckley, 50; Karen Jette, 64; and John Petisce, 49.
West Bay Residential Services, Inc., which celebrated their 35th anniversary last month, was established in 1981 and is located at 158 Knight Street. It is a private, non-profit organization providing services to people challenged by differing abilities. With a staff of more than 350, they provide support to more than 130 individuals in communities throughout the state.

CHRISTINA HALPERIN: I'm
Christina Halperin. I'm a Latin American Studies
Cotsen Post Doctoral Fellow here in the Society Fellows
at Princeton University. Right now, I'm teaching a course
in the Department of Art and Archaeology called
Mesoamerican Material Culture that explores pre-Columbian
Mesoamerican cultures from the perspective of archaeology.
BRYAN JUST: Hi.
My name is Bryan Just.
I'm the curator for ancient
American art here at the art museum.
And we're working with Professor
Christina Halperin today to allow her students and
their precepts to examine firsthand original works of
ancient Maya ceramic, both vessels and figurines.
CHRISTINA HALPERIN: When we
worked in the museum, the students being able to actually
look at some of these pieces and touch them–
they can think about ways in
which people in the past may have actually worked
with these objects and experienced them.
So in looking at a ceramic
vessel that has a narrative scene around the vessel itself,
they're able to get a sense of actually how that story
was told and the way in which someone may
have held it. Some of the complete specimens
that are at the museum, you can actually play them and hear
how certain resonances and sounds were like
in the past. Can you hear it?
DANIELA COSIO: Yeah.
CHRISTINA HALPERIN: That
one is a rattle. BRYAN JUST: So this
is the blow piece. This is the sound hole.
And these are for changing
PENG PENG: That's amazing
DANIELA COSIO: That's so cool.
CHRISTINA HALPERIN: Good job.
And you're, of course, blowing
life into the figures. You're animating them.
BRYAN JUST: As a compliment to
the study today, the students will be actually experimenting
with manufacturing works in clay to understand the mold
making and modeling processes and hopefully, to gain a deeper
appreciation for the skill and expertise that went
into producing the works of art we have here at
the art museum. CHRISTINA HALPERIN: There's
this wonderful aspect of childhood of experimentation
and play that allows you to learn, that allows you to think
about and move things in ways that you wouldn't
have normally done. We tend to work so rigidly
according to these rules and these structures that we forget
that this form of experimentation and
play allows us to think in new ways.
And I think that that's what
some of this teaches us. DANIELA COSIO: It was really
cool to be able to make something–
especially something that we've
been seeing in class and in precept–
and to be able to make it with
our own hands and understand the time and effort that went
into something like this– or with the molds, the lack of
time and effort that went into it– and the types of people
that could have been making things like this
in Mesoamerica. SARAH MAGAGNA: I think this is
case for not just ceramics, but for other visual arts.
But it really helps you to
understand so much better just the circumstances of production
and the processes when you have done
it yourself. So I think it's really great
when we learn about the materiality of the work
and how it's made.

Sure, this girl certainly looks happy in her frilly dress made of recycled VHS tapes, but don't forget that a precious collection of movies may have been destroyed to create the garment.
The dress was created by designer Scianca as part of a project called Modern Freaks. There's no explanation about whether she tore apart blank VHS tapes, old home movies, or episodes of Sailor Moon to construct the dress, so I'll keep sticking to twinkly LED gowns. [Scianca—Thanks, Joe!]
