In my capacity as a creative writing instructor, supervisor, and mentor, I've edited a great deal. In these past ten years or so, some of my students have gone on to publish, and I have been gratified to know I may have had a small hand in their work or a small influence on them. I am an honest person when it comes to editing, and those who I respect can expect marginal commentary like "meh" or, more simply, "no." I'm no Gordon Lish in the slash and burn school of editorial but I do like to think that some small touch of mine will help a story go from muddled to marvelous. My approach is always to try to locate the story and to help it emerge as fully as it can. Having said that, I do like weird. And to be honest, I have been jonesing for the opportunity to curate a literary magazine—just once, just to see what that might look like.
So, when Tyler Willis and Spencer Gordon asked me if I would be interested, and gave me almost a full year to work out my plan, I thought: oh boy, a whole magazine of fresh stories and I get to choose them. I had a couple of constraints (ones I constructed for myself). I wanted to work with international writers as well as national writers. I wanted to introduce new voices. And, if at all possible, I wanted things to get strange.
It's an honour to be asked to guest edit this summer edition of The Puritan and to be able to introduce these great short fictions:
Sarah Maria Medina sent "Rosario's Jewel Box," a story I still cry over every time I read it. I love its subterranean vocalization, the lyricism of it, and the cruelty, too. Heather Birrell sent in a piece very different from her usual work—kind of a risk, then, one that ventriloquizes a bad-ass, true-historical woman. "Hands to Heaven" is a stellar example of sustained monologue and a wild, funny ride. Mitchell Johnston's "Getting Rid of the Bernsteins" is one of the strangest, most absurdly brutal story events I have read in a long time. This is what happens when the imagination is let to explore the impossible. Nehal El-Hadi's "La Puerta" is a mournful excess. The way grief slips into reality, and plays out between hope and obsession, is wondrous. Ellen Van Neerven's "Buoy" is a heartbreaker of a story—the social disparity it articulates and the oceanic lilt of its prose makes me hold my breath for the duration. "The Beauty of the Walk On" is a gorgeous study in which we are so alienated in the deliberately cramped space of Trish Salah's elliptical, campy, and fierce enunciation that we literally can't look away from the stunning mess the protagonist is in. Finally, "Complicit" is a genius panopticon of a story by Khalida Hassan. When every action is recorded and assessed, who is above scrutiny? The funhouse of watching the way this story inculcates every character as they are "caught" is a spectacle of very, very fine writing, indeed.
I am so proud of these stories, the way they seem to meet each other in strange ways. I did not know when I began that the stories I chose would sometimes resonate with one another. That various mothers would intersect herein, that animals would populate the space, that nature would infiltrate, and that the summer edition of The Puritan would begin to teem with a sly weirdness that is, in fact, everyday. We are all weird—more or less—in our lived experience. I did not consider the way in which this curatorial work would begin to look like my unconscious, either—but because I chose this and this and this and because in choosing I must have also desired it, I am also laid bare by it. So, now you'll see all the odd, hidden nooks and crannies of what I love. And I am happy for that, too.
I want to thank the writers for putting up with my obsessive editorial. And I want y'all to read these. Read them!

NextGen Gallery, No Gallery Folder?
I really was excited to use this plug-in. But, I have created two "test" folders in my WP admin, and tried to add photos to it.
I get: Could not write to file. Please check filesystem permissions. Filename: /home/rollinj8/public_html/wp-content/gallery/test
Ok, so no big deal… I just moved hosts (downloaded this AFTER I moved) and was having some permissions issues with even just uploading pics to my blog using its regular built-in method. So the guy that owns my hosting servers fixed that.
But with this, he wrote me back saying there is NO "gallery" folder. I looked myself, I thumbed through trying many combos and I cannot find WHERE in the hell pictures are even stored on the server! I couldn't find "gallery" nor could find (I thought with "test" folders being created… I'd find them.) the test folders, even when doing a search could not be found.
So, where in the heck are the photos stored in this plug-in??!! So my host can change the permissions so I can add photos to it!

Let's face it, Chicago is one massive city!
Do a quick search of Chicago neighborhoods and you'll find over 100 neatly defined communities, neighborhoods, and suburban cities. Every neighborhood is a little different, but there's no doubt Chicagoans love and embrace the uniqueness of each one.
With so many different, unique options, it's no wonder I had a hard time narrowing down where we would stay during our family trip to Chicago last summer. Finding the perfect neighborhood for families with kids requires a unique combination of factors: ease of getting around, unique local culture, great food options, and lots to do at your doorstep too!
Picking the best place to stay in Chicago with kids is a tough task, but that doesn't mean I won't give it a try!
Read on for my top 5 Chicago neighborhood picks for families:
Lincoln Park
Best for: outdoorsy families
The Lincoln Park neighborhood is ideal for families who love to get out and explore (especially on a bright, sunny day)! North Avenue Beach, the (free!) Lincoln Park Zoo, and Lincoln Park Conservatory are all a stone's throw away, while a quick ride on the L will bring you north to Wrigley Field or south to the Magnificent Mile and Loop quite easily. (PS. Don't miss a Chicago Architecture River Cruise!)
Airbnb Favorites in Lincoln Park:
West Loop
Best for: foodie families
Families who like to eat will love being in West Loop, where tons of Chicago's newest and trendiest restaurants are located. While the restaurants here wouldn't exactly be characterized at family-friendly, even an early dinner at The Publican is quite doable (and worth it!). If you're hard-pressed to get a reservation at Girl & the Goat, a breakfast at sister-restaurant Little Goat will certainly please both the kids and adults.
Airbnb Favorites in West Loop:
Best for: alternative families
10 years ago, no one probably ever would have recommended this area for families, but…times are changing folks! For families looking for a more eclectic experience, immersed in great culture and casual food options, Bucktown (or even Wicker Park to the south or Logan Square to the west) is a great spot to be! The area is outside the hustle and bustle of the city, yet only a 15 minute ride away on the Blue Line to take you to the heart of the Loop. Not that you'd ever really have to the leave though; Damen Avenue is lined with plenty of shops and restaurants to pack your itinerary and the 606 walking trail offers a neat way to explore the area. (PS. a neighborhood food tour is a great way to spend the day here too!)
Airbnb Favorites in Bucktown:
River North
Best for: center-of-the-action families
River North is all about location, location, location. If you want to be close to the Magnificent Mile shopping, Navy Pier, Millenium Park, and an unlimited number of riverfront eateries and sidewalk patios, River North will be perfect for you. You can, of course, hop the L to just about anywhere in the city, but with a location this central you'll probably find yourself simply walking. Rentals options here vary wildly in price, but you can certainly find a few affordable gems among the ridiculously expensive penthouse condos.
Airbnb Favorites in River North:
South Loop
Best for: budget families
Want affordable luxury close to all of Chicago's kid-friendliest activities? Then South Loop may be just right for you. The former industrial area that gave way to high-rise condos took a bit of a beating during the financial crisis. So while things are picking back up here, snagging a 2 bedroom luxury condo for under $150/night is quite doable! You may be a slightly removed from some of the city's sights, but you'll be steps from the Shedd Aquarium, The Field Museum, and Adler Planetarium. And when you're ready to explore further, you'll still be well-linked to the rest of the city via public transportation.

The calcium in this supplement comes with many other nutrients to support bone health. Almost all of the ingredients are from plant sources. It has a ratio of calcium to magnesium of about 2:1. I find it beneficial to take more magnesium than calcium so I take a separate magnesium supplement to balance it out.

Sam Faiers has defended her boyfriend against viewers who slammed him for being controlling.
The former TOWIE star told The Sun on Sunday's Fabulous magazine that Paul Knightley 'cares so much'.
Paul's behaviour send Twitter into a frenzy when their programme The Baby Diaries aired last month but his devoted partner says he's just a 'perfectionist'.
Scroll down for video
The Only Way is Essex's Sam Faiers has defended her boyfriend Paul Knightley who was slammed by Twitter users after his first ever TV appearance, in The Baby Diaries, which followed the birth of son Paul, above
Unusual: Other viewers commented on a kiss Paul shared with his mother Gaynor in the show as they talked about his move into parenthood
But Sam explained, telling the magazine: 'As a couple we're old fashioned. I was brought up in a family where women cook and clean and the men go to work and that's just the way we are. That's all I've known.'
The show captured Paul refusing to move in with 25-year-old Sam when she was six months pregnant or cook for himself.
At one point when she was breastfeeding Paul Jr, he even asked her to make him beans on toast.
He also told her that he didn't like her choice of baby outfits, so she returned them. But Sam justified his behaviour on the show saying, 'He's just very particular about what he likes.'
Sam has spoken out about the social media storm after the public witnessed as Senior refused to move in with 25-year-old Sam when she was six months pregnant, or cook for himself, asking Sam to make him beans on toast when she was breastfeeding
Criticism: Her highly-publicised new reality show, The Baby Diaries was aired on Sunday 7 February, but Sam Faiers' boyfriend Paul Knightley was slammed on Twitter following his first TV appearance
She explained further to Fabulous, saying: 'The thing about Paul is that he cares about me and the baby so much that people mistake that for being controlling.
'When I showed him the baby clothes and he was like: "I'm not too sure on that…" it's not him being an a*******. It's just because he really cares about how the baby looks, he's a perfectionist'.
The same goes for Sam's career and her appearance, which Sam puts down to Paul's genuine interest in her.
During the TV show, which aired almost a month ago, on Sunday 7 February, Sam was seen telling Paul Senior, 'I feel like you haven't been around,' in the weeks leading up to the birth.
Not impressed: Viewers took to Twitter in their droves to discuss their relationship
The chilled-out father-to-be also took a two hour nap while Sam was in labour.
Fellow TOWIE star Maria Fowler tweeted: 'Watching Sam Faiers baby diaries … So cute! But surprised about her bf though, he seems a bit of a man child?'
A second wrote: 'Anyone else think that Paul and his mum are very controlling and have an odd feel about them ?? #babydiaries #samfaires.' [sic].
Another said: '5 minutes into Sam Faiers baby diaries and I already think her boyfriend is an absolute k***.'
One Twitter user wrote: 'Just watched the Sam faiers programme. Her boyfriend and his mother are very creepy… Strange relationship' after the moment Paul shared with his mother Gaynor, above
Awkward: The couple have been together for 16 months and welcomed their first child together, Paul, just weeks ago, but the social media site branded Paul Senior as 'controlling' and a 'man child'
Paul Senior was also lampooned for an awkwardly lingering kiss he shared with his mother, Gaynor, on the programme.
Sam, however, described her total shock at the negative reaction to this tender moment. The star and her partner watched the programme before it aired and saw nothing wrong with the mother-son moment which sent Twitter into meltdown.
One wrote: 'Just watched the Sam faiers programme. Her boyfriend and his mother are very creepy… Strange relationship.'
While a second said: 'Sam Faiers boyfriend awkward kiss with his MUM!!!! Did anyone else see this?'
Trolls were also quick to mock the star's choice to name her son after his father.
One wrote: 'How can u look at a newborn baby and say 'he looks like a paul' LOOL.'

It's official – John and Lisa Robinson of Munford, Tennessee are America's newest millionaires, after cashing in their winning Powerball ticket Friday afternoon.
The couple are the first of the three winners in Wednesday's historic $1.6billion drawing to publicly identify themselves, appearing this morning on the Today show before they turned in their ticket.
After their brief appearance in New York, the couple flew back to Tennessee where they met with lottery officials in Nashville to verify their ticket.
The momentous occasion was a family affair for the Robinsons, who brought along their daughter Tiffany and even their dog.
Just before 3pm, officials confirmed that the Tennesse couple's ticket was genuine.
Scroll down for video
Powerball winner John Robinson, right, takes hold of the family dog and he and his wife Lisa, in pink, arrive at Tennessee lottery headquarters on Friday
The Robinsons are the first Powerball winners to claim their prize. Pictured above walking behind the CEO of the Tennessee Lottery Rebecca Hargrove, left
It's unclear whether the Robinsons decided to take a lump sum payment, equivalent to about $327.8million before taxes, or an annuity over 30 years, about $528.8million before taxes.
They are splitting the 1.586billion with two others winners in Chino Hills, California and Melbourne Beach, Florida who have not yet come forward to claim their prize. Lottery winners have 180 days from the drawing to turn their ticket into officials.
When they first appeared on the Today show Friday morning, the Robinsons were still the unofficial winners since they hadn't validated their ticket with lottery officials yet.
But they brought the very valuable yellow ticket with them to New York and it showed all of the correct numbers – 4, 8, 19, 27, 34 and 10.
'It's not going very far,' Mr Robinson said, pulling out the ticket from the safety of his shirt pocket.
The Robinsons say they decided to identify themselves on live TV before cashing in their ticket on the advice of their lawyer, Joe Townsend.
'I think the American public wants to hear from them, and even though they want to be private after this is over, they want to let the public know that they're the winners,' Mr Townsend said.
Lucky two! John and Lisa Robinson say they are one of the three Powerball jackpot winners. The Tennessee couple showed off their ticket on a live appearance on the Today show Friday morning
Golden ticket: Above, the ticket the couple says they bought Wednesday night at Naifeh's grocery store in Munford, Tennessee
Staying home? The couple have told neighbors they do not plan to move – and said this morning that they wanted to stay in Munford
In their live TV interview, the couple told the unlikely story of their life-changing win.
Mr Robinson said he was coming home from work Wednesday night when he got a call from his wife, asking him to pick up Powerball tickets on the way home.
'I really didn't feel like stopping,' Mr Robinson said, because he was tired and not feeling well.
Nevertheless, the father-of-two stopped at Naifeh's grocery store, near their home, and bought four tickets representing each member of his family – just two hours before the cutoff.
When he got home, Mr Robinson said he handed the tickets to his wife and then went to bed, leaving it to her to check the numbers after the late-night drawing.
Sick day: Mrs Robinson broke the good news to her boss on live TV, telling her manager she wasn't coming in to work and to watch the Today show
All smiles: The Robinson, right and center, appeared on the Today show along with their daughter Tiffany, left, their lawyer Joe Townsend, second right, and Mr Townsend's daughter Eileen, second left
She says she read the numbers three times before running down the hall and waking up her husband, yelling 'John, you gotta check these numbers!'
The couple believed they had the winning ticket, but decided not to leave the house or tell anyone at first.
'I'll believe it when the news comes on in the morning and they say there's a winner down in Munford,' Mr Robinson recalled.
The next morning, the couple says they saw local news networks showing up at the grocery store and that's when they decided to call their lawyer, Joe Townsend.
Errand: Mr Robinson said he bought four Powerball tickets just two hours before the cutoff Wednesday night at Naifeh's grocery store, near their home. The store pictured above on Thursday
Four: Mr Robinson said he didn't want to stop to buy the tickets, because he was tired and not feeling well. But he nonetheless stopped, and bought four tickets representing each member of his family
Winners all around: Rebecca Hargrove, left, CEO at the Tennessee Lottery, and Naifeh's store owner Dana Naifeh, right, pose with the store's $25,000 check for selling the winning ticket on Thursday
In addition to telling their lawyer, the Robinsons' daughter Tiffany was one of the first people they told the good news.
Mr Robinson said he tried to trick his daughter into coming over, saying he needed her to bring him medicine since he was sick. But she was busy and sent someone else to run the errand.
When his daughter didn't show up with the medicine, Mr Robinson called and asked why she hadn't brought over the medication herself.
Tiffany said if it was 'that important' that she come over herself, she would , and that's when her parents told her the happy news. With their new-found Powerball money, Tiffany says she hopes she might convince her parents to buy her a horse.
Clever: The Robinson's daughter Tuffany, left, says her dad broke the happy news to her on Thursday, by trying to get her to come over to their home and bring him medicine
Since they are splitting the $1.586billion jackpot with two others, the Robinsons stand to gain a prize of $528.8million if they choose the annuity or $327.8million with a lump sum payment.
As for how they plan to spend their winnings, the Robinsons say they will pay off some loans but haven't made many other plans.
However, they do want to give donations to their church and other organizations close to their heart like St Jude Children's Research Hospital.
They say they want to stay in Munford, and that Mrs Robinson hopes to keep on working.
Mr Robinson, 58, and his 53-year-old wife have lived in their three bedroom, $150,000 bungalow since 1995 after he left the Air Force.
He now works as an engineer for a Target distribution center and recently had to spend a month away from his wife, which another friend Linda Bullifin saying they found the separation difficult.
'I know she found it particularly hard and they have had problems like anybody else.
'Lisa's mother died recently and John had left his previous job and had to find another quickly because like most folk, they need to earn. But maybe not so much now.
Friends in the town said the couple's first concern was their house.
Mrs Robinson telephoned her neighbor Rod Smith this morning and asked him to keep an eye on their home.
'I have put 'do not trespass' signs up to warn people to keep away until they get home,' he said,
'They were in New York and then heading back to Tennessee to have their ticket confirmed by the lottery people.
'But it is their home and they would naturally be worried about it, no matter how much they have won.
'They said they intend to continue living there and I am happy about that. It is always good to have fine neighbors that they certainly are that.
'We keep an eye out for each other and they are very down-to-earth types who just like walking their two dogs.'
Mrs Robinson has worked at the Memphis Dermatology Clinic in Memphis for 18 years in the medical records department.
Administrator Ian Hendry told Daily Mail Online: 'She's a very sweet and caring person.
'When she called us this morning she was very concerned that we wouldn't be caught behind the eight ball because of what has happened.
'She said she is going to be at work on Monday. But I wouldn't hold her to it…a lot can happen between now and then.
'We are very pleased for her and her husband. They are very caring and good Christian people. Lisa is very popular here.'
Their friend Mrs Bullifin said: 'It could not happen for a nicer family. John and Lisa always keep an eye out for me because I live alone.
'But I feel like I have won. They fully deserve their luck. I am so happy for them.
'I thought Munford would always be on the map because our marching band appeared at the Macy's Parade in New York. Now we'll definitely always be famous.'
Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole told Daily Mail Online: 'I hope the winner will be a benevolent one to Munford.'

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by kootoomootoo, Mar 30, 2007.
Would this guy be considered a "lowballer"?
Local guy offering this in the paper.
Nope, he just factors in his treatments into a year long program. Lets say he mows 40 times a year @ $30 which = $1200. That would be basically $100 a month, add in the 6 treatments for $50 = $300. Total now is $1500. That equals to $125 a month. So if a customers signs up for a year round program and you tell em it's gonna cost $125 then you're still getting your money for doing the treatments.
Now I know I didnt include all the other things, but I was just giving you a general idea of how he could say FREE TREATMENTS for a contract.
Logic would suggest that this is a better deal than "first cut free" etc etc?
First cut free is not the way to go.
If anyone is doing first cut free, please pm me!
I actually do this with great results. I price myself high but press the fact that I am giving them over $200 in savings on average. I also press that we do high quality work and that we bag all of our clippings setting apart from competition. After the first year I can leave the mowing prices high and charge them for there spraying. Do you consider this bad business?
It's actually a pretty good idea, clever marketing IMO.
Most of the fert. companies around here offer either a discount or a free app for early or pre-payment. This is kind of the same, but differant.
lol.. me too!
I'm doing the free first cut!!!
The catch- Pay for season in full, or sign yearly contract with a spring clean up.

Two extremely rare Ferraris will go under the hammer this week, with all of the proceeds going to charity.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is to be the lucky recipient of the money after the late Richard Colton, a pre-eminent British collector of V12-engined Ferraris, left the request in his will.
While there is no official estimate on the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB and 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, two similar vehicles recently sold for a total of £8 million - and auctioneers at H&H Classics reckon the pair could surpass that on Wednesday.
The 250 GT SWB is one of two SWBs which formed part of the launch of the Maranello Concessionaires distribution outlet for Ferrari in the UK.
Only 167 models were ever made, of which a mere 10 originally came to British soil.
Meanwhile, the 275 GTB/4, originally a Maranello Concessionaires demonstrator, is claimed to be the ultimate Enzo-era Ferrari road car. It has a 300bhp engine that is capable of hitting speeds of 160mph.
Just 350 were made, with 27 supplied to the UK market. Petrol-heads widely regard it as the best all-round GT car of the 1960s. The proceeds from the two Ferraris will be used by the RNLI to fund two new lifeboats.

Pakistani film 2013
Actors: Salman Peerzada, Maira Khan and Shafqat Cheema
Director: Ismail Jilani
Production: Independent Film in association with Geo Films
Currently showing at Cinepax Rawalpindi
The film is about the angst of the Pakistani middle class faced with the challenges of a corrupt ruling class turned land mafia. The storyline might appear simplistic, but the issues are familiar for Pakistanis: the political class feels that they are born to rule, being "sardars" they perpetuate their hold on political and economic power with the use of coercion and violence, when necessary; in the shadows is the unsavoury character of the son, being groomed to take over the family enterprise; that the middle classes are effete and self-absorbed, wanting an easy way out, if necessary through emigration. The message of the film is that change can be brought about by committed youth, and no sacrifice is great enough for the "sohni dharti".
The first half of the film is faster paced and less predictable than the second half, and the acting is superb. The trials that the nation has undergone over the last five years have led to a burst of creative activity in Pakistan, this film being one example of it. Definitely worth seeing, unless addicted to the mindless opiate of Bollywood.

My dear,
If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.
Why speak if not to speak truth, and the whole truth? Why speak if it's not necessary and silence would serve the occasion better? Why speak if it's only to hurt and not to teach or heal?
Falsely yours,

What kind of dressing style would girls like to get relationship as a friend
About the personality develepoment?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
I know most of my friends and I like the current style a lot of guys have going on, the bro tanks, snapback, vans, elite socks, and those khaki shorts guys always wear (I don't know if they're khaki but I don't know what kind of shorts they are). Also V-necks are great, and flannel shirts are really hot too. If you can pull of a snapback PLEASE wear one, if you can pull it off it's really nice. Really guys can wear mostly whatever they want, most of it's the same, you guys can get away with shorts and t shirts easily. As for style, Look at stores like pacsun and zumiez that's pretty good style. A quick google image search for "tumblr boys" pretty much all of them are attractive and have good style.00|00|1
What Guys Said 1
I noticed I'd dress like shit day in day out and I found that it doesn't make a difference if you can do the real talking. If you act like a boss, then the clothing just follows as boss as you talk.00|00|0

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is a truly extraordinary Viking hero known throughout Vikingdom as "the Dragon Whisperer"...but it wasn't always so. Travel back to the days when the mighty warrior was just a boy, the quiet and thoughtful son of the Chief of the Hairy Hooligans. Can Hiccup capture a dragon and train it without being torn limb from limb? Join the adventure as the small boy finds a better way to train his dragon and become a hero!
My Rating: 5/5
I absolutely love the film/TV adaptations of this book and its sequels and so I was surprised to find that the book was of the same quality.
There are so many differences between the book and the film that I won't go into them except to mention the one that I loved the most and that was the fact that Toothless and the other dragons are able to talk in the book.
I loved the adventure you can only find in children's books and am definitely adding this series to the list of books I will give to my nephews when they are old enough to read.

So I'm starting week 1 of Country Heat! Eeek I'm so excited I've got my specific County Heat meal plan in place and am ready to get dancing! If you want to know what Country Heat is all about check it out here! So I've got my Country Heat on Beachbody On Demand so I am able to access the workouts and nutrition plan now, which is awesome! Here is a sample of what I eat in a day (a full meal plan is at the bottom of this post!)
Meal planning can be daunting but you just have to take it one step at a time and start with one day at a time! The nutrition plan and portion control containers really make it easy!
I've got my meal plan in place and I am actually done with week 1!! I must say…I am loving Country Heat! The workouts are simple and I can tell the concentrate on the legs and abs. I usually like 'more intense' workouts and was skeptical about this one- but it keeps my heartrate up the entire time! I have found my calorie burn (from my fitbit) to be similar to an Insanity Max 30 workout which blew my mind!
Here is a sneak peak of the first workout- Country Swing! This is a fun one! 🙂
Here is the workout calendar! I actually got the deluxe kit, so I have 3 extra workouts to work in during the last couple weeks to switch it up! I like how there is a Dance Conditioning workout and even though I wasn't supposed to try it this week, I decided I would take a look and ended up doing the whole thing! It works in some ab work, arm work, and leg work and you really work up a sweat!
I actually get up in the morning and look forward to my workout! It's fun and a total change up from what I am used to! I'm finishing up this week so it's onto the next!! I'm excited to try out some new workouts!
The nutrition plan is the same as the 21 Day Fix but there are some fun new recipes in this booklet I can't wait to try out! Here was my full week's meal plan.
My Country Heat Test Group is in preseason week and these ladies are loving it already!! I'm excited to actually kick off with them on Monday! There are still a couple spots open, so fill out the application if you want to join!

Filmmaker Interview: CHOKE's Clark Gregg
By Allison at October 7, 2008 | 12:06 pm | Print
posted by Allison, 10/7/08
When Clark Gregg set out to make Choke, he had everything he needed for his low-budget, 25-day shoot: an abandoned colonial theme park, an abandoned mental hospital, a zoo and the recently unemployed Sopranos crew, all in one spot. What can I say? That's what NJ is there for.
I spoke with Gregg about NJ's many abandoned asylums, among other topics, during a recent Boston interview in promotion of Gregg's directorial debut, Choke (read my review), based on the novel by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk. Gregg had much to say about Palahniuk as a Jedi master, sex vs. violence in the media, and why he wrote a different ending for the movie.
On writing the script:
I read the book. I went crazy for it. I did all the stalking I had to do to get the option to write and direct it. I got on the phone with him [Palahniuk] and said "At its core, this is a very dirty and profound romantic comedy," and he said "Yes, exactly that's right. Don't be too faithful" and then he hung up. And I thought, what the hell is that? Of course I have to be faithful, he's got an army of fans that will stone me to death if I'm not. And I didn't sign up to not make a faithful adaptation, so I was thrown by that.
On Chuck Palahniuk:
It wasn't until he came to Sundance that I discovered he's this kind of interesting, creative Jedi master. I said, "Why did you ask me not to be faithful? a) You really messed with my head and b) you didn't know me, how'd you know I wasn't going to turn it into the Golden Girls?" He said, "I just knew you wouldn't have the stamina to stick with this until you claimed some kind of artistic ownership of it."
On adaptation:
At a certain point, you gotta let it become a movie. That isn't just cutting down the points that aren't cinematic. If you're going to become an author of the movie, you gotta figure out what the version you connected to is.
Clark Gregg (left) on the set with Brad William Henke
On why the film's ending is different from the novel's ending:
The book has kind of a series of ending-ish beats and one in particular that I love that was always in the script. I don't know if you ever had this experience… you watch a movie and come to some kind of catharsis in an ending but when they start to go into to another ending you're like, "Wait a minute, I'm still luxuriating in this one." I tried about 40 different ways of cutting it [one end scene]. I showed it at every screening and I don't know if a more experienced director with a little bit more money couldn't have pulled it off. I'm going to put the best version or two on the DVD extras so people can take a look and the campaign can begin.
On Palahniuk's graciousness:
I knew there were definitely some places where I took his characters that really were further down the road he started them on. They asked him what his favorite scenes are and he named all the ones I had written and I was like, "Come on, you're full of shit." He said, "I take this stuff from the people I meet on the road and I do a draft and the only joy, the real joy for me, is seeing what you are next going to do with it."
On why more of Palahniuk's books have not been made into films:
I think part of it is this guy pushes people's buttons. I do think there's stuff going on in his work … that's truly subversive. In a consuming-obsessed society, sex becomes something else you consume in a way that renders you incapable of intimacy. I just think that's a simple idea that is everywhere around us and I've never seen it anywhere.
Someone's like, "Oh, how are you going to make a movie like this." If it was Reservoir Dogs they wouldn't be asking me that — I would be fighting off financiers because violence is palatable. And that's offensive to me. The fact that sex isn't viewed the same way, that's offensive to me.

Three years ago, sixty-one-year-old Hamida lost her left leg and had her right leg fractured in an air strike in Syria. Her daughter-in-law Souheir was seriously injured in the same attack and several of her grandchildren were left completely traumatized. Following this tragedy, Hamida and her relatives fled to Lebanon, where they benefit from psychosocial support sessions run by Handicap International, with support from Light for the World.
"I was coming back from the market with my children and my mother-in-law came out of the house to help me with the bags," explains Souheir. "That's when we were hit by a bomb." Seated in the family's modest shelter in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, Souheir describes how the attack changed their lives forever. "My mother-in-law can't walk anymore, my daughter Roqaya doesn't want to speak and my son Obeida can't sleep. He still has shrapnel buried in his stomach and he's only got one kidney left." Fortunately, the family was discovered by one of Handicap International's mobile teams, made up of a physical therapist and a social worker, who began visiting the family and providing support.
Today, the two specialists, Maram and Abeer, are visiting the family for a new psychosocial support session. As Maram chats with Hamida and Souheir about their lives in Lebanon, Abeer plays puppets with the children. Roqaya watches shyly as her brothers and sisters play with the Handicap International worker. She hides behind her mother, torn between her fear of interacting with others and her desire to join in. "She's really stressed, but every day we encourage her to say a few more words than the day before," explains her father, Abdel Razzaq.
During the session, Roqaya finally plucks up the courage to gently cuddle up to Abeer. "During the first session, she hid when she saw us. She didn't want to come near us," the specialist explains. "Over time, we have managed to win her trust. It always takes a few minutes when we arrive in the tent, but then she generally plays with us and sometimes even answers our questions." Abeer suggests different activities to Roqaya and her brothers and sisters, to help them express their feelings.
Maram then calls Obeida to talk with her, one-to-one. She wants to find out if there has been any change in his incontinence problem. Using a system of drawings, she tries to understand how the little boy feels. That gives Abeer the chance to spend time with Roqaya alone.
Running a psychosocial support session for four family members at the same time is not easy for the mobile team, but the two women understand how much it means to them. "We're trying to rebuild our lives together," explains Souheir, cradling her newborn and watching her children talk and play with Abeer and Maram.
Hamida also watches the rest of her family, moved by the scene. The path to rebuilding their lives will be long, but the professionals from Handicap International are hopeful. "The children have already made a lot of progress," says Maram. "For Souheir and Hamida, their wounds go deeper. It will take time, but we'll be here, by their side, for as long as it takes them to recover and move forward."

Give forgiveness a chance to free you from your past. Allow it to take away all the hatred you kept in heart for this time and permit yourself to fill in that empty space with love, inner peace and compassion.

Hi everyone! Maggi here to introduce our new Alchemists! I have to say, this was a TOUGH choice. We received so many AWESOME applications. So first, thank you to everyone who applied! We so appreciated each and every application and want you to know that your talent is amazing, keep right on gluing what you're gluing! 😀
And now, let's meet our new Alchemists!
Hello! I am Pam–artist, crafter, 13-year high school art educator, wife, mother, sister, friend, home-maker, and jack-of-all-trades. I love to play with materials, try techniques of all kinds, and be as messy as possible when I create! In my experience, art and all creative pursuits are supposed to make you think and demand that you step outside of your comfort zone. Teaching and sharing what I have learned, as well as being a life-long learner are traits that have made me a better problem solver. And, solving "artful" problems really makes me feel ALIVE!… It is all about the journey… Won't you come along with me? (Visit Pam's blog: here!)
Well howdy!! *waving madly* My name is Deb,and I am a ridiculously short, , Mummy to a 15 year old and an 11 year old, wife, and a loud and boisterous arty type. I am also Mummy to a black pug named Gypsy. I have made art since..well…forever, but my favourite thing to play with is paint and paper, and I am a firm believer in the art journal as a daily ritual.
As well as being a new Gauche Alchemist, I study art full time, and work full time as an Office Administrator for an Accounting firm. I live on a little property just outside Tamworth, Australia's Country Music Capital, and for the record, no, I don't dig Country Music. I live with a heavy rock guitarist so music is also a huge part of my life- and my creative process. So it's tattooed dudes and loud guitar solos for me..all the way.
I am so excited to be a part of the Gauche Alchemy Design Team for 2013. When I'm not playing with the Gauche Team… you can find me on my blog, Lunatic Fringe.
And last, but not least….
I specialize in creativity and mixed media art through thrifting, up-cycling, re-purposing and new design. I have had the privilege of being published in several Stampington Publications, and am a contributor to Seth Apter's newest Mixed Media book, "The Mixed-Media Artist: Art Tips, Tricks, Secrets and Dreams from Over 40 Amazing Artists" slated to be published later this year. I am the owner of A Year in the Life of an Art Journal and Monday Mugshots! I am SO thrilled to have been chosen to be an Alchemist! I am: Thrift junkie. Free Spirit. Believer. Artist. Photographer. Mom to boys. Rust Lover. Worm Farmer. Blogger. Creative Soul. Rule Bender. Spider Saver. Coffee Drinker. Cream Lover. Chook Farmer. Goat Milker. Sailor Mouth. Music Listener. Phone Talker. Garden Grower. Beek. Mess Maker. Risk Taker. Chewy Mom. Gritty Gramma. Good Intender.
You can find me on line –

Please help us welcome them and as they're working on their first projects for us, go check out their blogs!
And don't forget to go glue something awesome onto some awesome something!

[Please CC to me, I'm not on list]
Please don't do this.*I* feel bad when I join a list for the sole purpose of asking a question, knowing that I'm going to unsubscribe as soon as I get my answer. But you won't even bother to join and sample the list traffic for a few days? I consider that very disrespectful... as though you consider us to be your personal tech support staff.
Nevertheless, I'll answer your question *and* CC you.
The order that they're loaded in used to only matter because the names we assigned sequentially (eth0, eth1, etc.). Now, with udev, it appears that you can name your interfaces anything you want. You could name your wireless interface "my_favorite_eth", I suppose.For a long time, my debian unstable laptop loaded wlan driver before wired lan driver.. couple of weeks ago the order was reversed, wired lan drivers were loaded before wlan.
With this flexibility in naming the interfaces, the load order shouldn't matter anymore.
The best section I've found regarding renaming interfaces is at: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-iface but I haven't had a chance to try it to see if it works.
And in fact my system now loads 2 different wlan drivers for the same card, orinoco_pci and hostap_pci.. how can I disable the other? I tried to add it to skip list of discover, but it didn't help..Hmmm. This same question was asked on this very list earlier today. But then, you're not on the list, so you wouldn't know that.
One of the changes listed with the new udev packages reads:+ /etc/hotplug/blacklist*: must be replaced by modprobe configuration directives.
Supposedly, you can prevent modprobe from loading a module by adding a file to /etc/modprobe.d which contains:
alias drivername offSo, you could create a file like "/etc/modprobe.d/blockhostap" which contains:

I haven't seen one. However, it appears that udev handles all hot/cold-plugging now, and that it uses modprobe to actually do the loading.Is there tutorial/documents somewhere how loading of drivers is handled inDebian nowadays?
So, udev handles finding the actual hardware and deciding which drivers need loading *AND* deciding what names they are assigned in /dev (read http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html). Modprobe handles actually loading the module and any other modules that it depends upon.

Sabel is a family-run business, providing tailored food & drink for events and a series of pop-up feasts at venues around London.
Our name, the anglicised version of the Russian 'Sablinski', is our family name; the adaptation reflecting our approach to incorporating influences from around the world into our British menu.
Dishes are bold, featuring the very best produce; big-flavoured herbs and vegetables, smoked, dried and salted ingredients, served with understanding and care.
After twelve years working in various parts of the food industry and eating his way around London and further afield, Toby draws on his wide range of influences and experiences in creating Sabel.
He began running local restaurants and spent time at The Square and Kitchen W8, but Sabel was always at the back of his mind, so he left the safety of restaurants to explore further.
After a summer in New York staging at Momofuko and Gramercy Tavern, he joined Rocket Food and spent the next four years running large events. From the Wilderness banqueting tent to high profile dinners for a thousand, he learnt how to deliver quality on a large-scale.
As executive chef, he managed the Mercedez AMG Petronas F1 team, travelling and developing his menus, inspired by the produce of Australia and Monaco and the street food markets of Shanghai and KL. In recent years, he has had the great fortune to work alongside and learn from Simon Rogan, St. John and Ottolenghi amongst others.

Barcelona Travel Blog› entry 3 of 3 › view all entries
i would like to come back to visit the miro museum and picasso museum.
Barcelona is the capital and most populous city of Catalonia
and the second largest city in Spain, with a population of 1,605,602 in 2006,
while the population of the Metropolitan Area was 3,161,081. It is the central
nucleus of the Urban Region of Barcelona, which relies on a population of 4,856,579.
It is located on the Mediterranean coast ( [show location on an interactive
map] 41°23′N, 2°11′E) between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs and is limited
to the west by the Serra de Collserola ridge (512 m/1,680 ft).
Barcelona is a major economic centre with one of Europe's principal Mediterranean ports, and Barcelona International Airport is the second largest in Spain. Founded as a Roman city, Barcelona became the capital of the Counts of Barcelona and the Crown of Aragon. Besieged several times during its history, Barcelona is today an important cultural centre and a major tourist destination and has a rich cultural heritage. Particularly renowned are architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner that have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city is well known in recent times for hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics.
As the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona houses the seat of the Catalan government, known as the Generalitat de Catalunya; of particular note are the executive branch, the parliament, and the Supreme Court of Catalonia.
The foundation of Barcelona is the subject of two different legends. The first attributes the founding of the city to Hercules 400 years before the building of Rome and that it was rebuilt by the Carthaginian Hamilcar Barca, father of Hannibal, who named the city Barcino after his family, in the 3rd century BC. The second legend attributes the foundation directly to Hamilcar Barca.
About 15 BC, the Romans redrew the town as a castrum (Roman military camp) centred on the "Mons Taber", a little hill near the contemporary city hall (Plaça de Sant Jaume). Under the Romans, it was a colony with the surname of Faventia, or, in full, Colonia Faventia Julia Augusta Pia Barcino or Colonia Julia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino.
Some important Roman ruins are exposed under the Plaça del Rei, entrance by the city museum (Museu d'Història de la Ciutat), and the typically Roman grid-planning is still visible today in the layout of the historical centre, the Barri Gòtic ("Gothic Quarter"). Some remaining fragments of the Roman walls have been incorporated into the cathedral.[10] The cathedral, also known as basilica La Seu is said to have been founded in 343.
The Counts of Barcelona became increasingly independent and expanded their territory to include all of Catalonia, later the Crown of Aragon which conquered many overseas possessions, ruling the western Mediterranean Sea with outlying territories in Naples and Sicily and as far as Athens in the thirteenth century. The forging of a dynastic link between the Crowns of Aragon and Castile marked the beginning of Barcelona's decline.
Barcelona has seven beaches, totalling 4.5 km (2.8 mi) of coastline. Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches, both 1,100 m (3,610 ft) in length,are the largest, oldest and the most frequented beaches in Barcelona. The Olympic port separates them from the other city beaches: Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella, Nova Mar Bella and Llevant. These beaches (ranging from 400 to 640 m/1,300 to 2,100 ft) were opened as a result of the city restructuring to host the 1992 Summer Olympics, when a great number of industrial buildings were demolished. At present, the beach sand is replenished from quarries given that storms regularly remove large quantities of material. Greenpeace has criticized the beaches as environmentally unsustainable and as prejudicial to sea bed flora and fauna.
The area around the Plaça Catalunya makes up the city's historical centre and, alongside the upper half of Avinguda Diagonal, is the main commercial area of the city. Barcelona has several commercial complexes, like L'Illa in the higher part of the Diagonal avenue and Diagonal Mar in the lowest, La Maquinista, Glòries in the place of the same name and the Maremagnum by the port.
Barcelona has several skyscrapers, the highest being the Hotel Arts and its twin the Torre Mapfre, both 154 m (505 ft) high, followed by the newest Torre Agbar 144 m (472 ft) high.
Entertainment and performing arts
Barcelona has many venues for live music and theatre, including the world-renowned Gran Teatre del Liceu opera theatre, the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, the Teatre Lliure and the Palau de la Música Catalana concert hall. Barcelona also is home to the Sónar Music Festival which takes place around June every year, and to the Barcelona and Catalonia National Symphonic Orchestra (Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya, usually known as OBC) is the largest symphonic orchestra in Catalonia. In 1999, the OBC inaugurated its new venue in the brand-new Auditorium (l'Auditori). It performs around 75 concerts per season and its current director is Eiji Oue. It has a thriving alternative music scene, with groups such as The Pinker Tones receiving international attention.
Barcelona houses a great number of museums, which cover different areas and eras. The National Museum of Art of Catalonia possesses a well-known collection of Romanesque art while the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art focuses on post-1945 Catalan and Spanish art. The Fundació Joan Miró, Picasso Museum and Fundació Antoni Tàpies hold important collections of these world-renowned artists.
Several museums cover the fields of history and archeology, like the City History Museum, the Museum of the History of Catalonia, the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia, the Barcelona Maritime Museum and the private-owned Egiptian Museum. The Erotic museum of Barcelona is among the most peculiar ones, while Cosmocaixa is a science museum that received the European Museum of the Year Award in 2006.
The Barri Gòtic ("Gothic Quarter" in Catalan) is the centre of the old city of Barcelona. Many of the buildings date from medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona. Catalan modernisme architecture (often known as Art Nouveau in the rest of Europe), developed between 1885 and 1950 and left an important legacy in Barcelona. A great number of these buildings are World Heritage Sites. Especially remarkable is the work of architect Antoni Gaudí, which can be seen throughout the city. His best known work is the immense but still unfinished church of the Sagrada Família, which has been under construction since 1882, and is still financed by private donations. As of 2007, completion is planned for 2026.
Barcelona won the 1999 RIBA Royal Gold Medal for its architecture,the first (and as of 2007, only) time that the winner has been a city, and not an individual architect.
Public transportation (is one of the best)
Barcelona is served by a comprehensive local public transport network that includes a metro, a bus network, two separate tram networks (one of them, the Tramvia Blau,[42] connects to the Funicular del Tibidabo), and several funiculars and aerial cable cars. The Barcelona Metro network comprises nine lines, identified by an "L" followed by the line number as well as by individual colours. Most of the network is operated by the Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB), but three lines are FGC commuter lines that run through the city.
The TMB also operates the city's tram networks, known as Trambaix and Trambesòs, and the city's daytime bus network, as well as a tourist bus service. The night bus network, known as Nitbus, is operated by Mohn. Transports Ciutat Comtal operates the regular Tomb Bus (along the Diagonal avenue) and Aerobus (to the airport) services. Other companies operate services that connect the city with towns in the metropolitan area.
The Funicular de Montjuïc climbs the Montjuïc hill. The Vallvidrera and Funicular de Tibidabo funiculars climb the Tibidabo hill. The city has two aerial cable cars: one to the Montjuïc castle and another that runs via Torre Jaume I and Torre Sant Sebastia over the port.
Barcelona is a major hub for RENFE, the Spanish state railway network, and its main intercity train station is Barcelona-Sants station. The AVE high-speed rail system was recently extended from Madrid to Tarragona in southern Catalonia, and is expected to reach Barcelona by 2007. Renfe cercanías/rodalies and the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) run Barcelona's widespread commuter train service.
The Estació del Nord (Northern Station), a former train station that was renovated for the 1992 Olympic Games, now serves as the terminus for long-distance and regional bus services.
Barcelona has a metered taxi fleet governed by the Institut Metropolità del Taxi (Metropolitan Taxi Institute), composed of more than 10,000 cars.
On March 22, 2007[44], Barcelona's City Council started the Bicing service, a bicycle service understood as a public transport. Once the user has their user card, they can take a bicycle from any of the 100 stations spread around the city and use it anywhere the urban area of the city, and then leave it at another station. The service has been a success, with 50,000 subscribed users in three months.[46]

I want to change my title of the hub that was created earleir. Can i allowed to do that?
What is the effect for doing it? like search engine position.
Yes, you can change hub title. Search engine position is based on keyword. So It doesn't affect more.
You can change your hub title but not the URL of the hub. From this no effect occur in search engine position
That is simply not true. Did you read any of the previous posts?
The only thing that you can't change is your URL.
The title, tags, capsules and information can be changed as you see fit.
The only difference it would make in SERPs is if you used better keywords - it may rank higher or rank differently.
HubPages recently introduced a new feature, Title Tuner, to suggest revising titles for better search engine position. I guess that shows that changing titles is not only acceptable, but something worthwhile considering.
The only problem is - the suggestions are based on the keywords that brought people to your hub through the search engines.
If you don't have any hits from search engines, you won't have any suggestions.
Makes sense. They do write that improving the title is the single most important thing someone can do to gain visibility. I'm not sure whether this is correct or not, but that point is worthwhile mentioning.
So that means we need wait for few hits from SE before changing the title. Am I right?
No reason to wait at all. Title Tuner may just not be able to give you any suggestions yet, but you can do your own research to improve upon your title.
I have a page that's over 6 months old and has never had a hit from a search engine.
That means the title tuner has no suggestions for it, since it has no data.
So I've changed the title half a dozen times in hopes of getting google interested enough to send me hits.
So yes, WE is right. You need hits to use the title tuner but if you don't have them then you can just do it manually - and often it's more worthwhile if you don't have hits, since it can raise your chance of getting them.
As WE said - the title tuner is a great addition to HP. I really got on well with it. Have a go! Good luck!
@ WE title tuner has thrown up some good suggestions and right now I thought I was noticing an improvement in traffic.. may be other factors add up .. I am curiously watching..
I've changed my titles after further research uncovered better key words for my topic. It has always been a positive thing for my traffic to improve lsi and keywords.
Go for it!
Much Success
Some knowledgeable people recommend against changing page titles, as it could have a very negative effect for your positions on the search engines.
If it is a well-established page, I would not risk it. I, as well as others, have noticed a sudden, huge drop in SERPs after changing a page title. It may or may not be related, but is it worth the risk?
However, if the page has not been indexed yet then you should be fine to change it.

Lisbon: Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz has conceded that the clubs pre-season tour of the far east had hurt preparations for the new season.
The tour of Asia brought consequences that cannot be ignored, he said in an interview published in Portuguese daily A Bola on Wednesday.
But the team has been improving, as has the yield of individual players like Michel Salgado or Luis Figo, he said.
The nine-time European champions spent three weeks in August in China, Japan and Thailand in an attempt to win over new fans.
The squad played four matches in nine days during its crowd-drawing tour, but many Real fans complained this was not the right preparation for the Spanish champions.
Their concerns where echoed by Reals French playmaker Zinedine Zidane who said in an interview shortly after the tour that he felt the squad did not work hard enough during their three weeks in Asia.
After each match, we went to bed late, we got up early and headed for the airport. In these conditions, it was impossible to do real pre-season training, he said.
Queiroz faced a barrage of media criticism after Real suffered a 2-1 Spanish Super Cup first leg loss to Real Mallorca shortly after returning from the tour. But the Portuguese coach, who joined the club in June redeemed himself after Real Madrid steamrolled past Mallorca 3-0 in the Spanish Super Cup return to secure the trophy.
This is a game of opinions and passions. What I need to do is make decisions according to my convictions, to do what I think is best for the team he said.
Queiroz also touched on the controversial transfer of French midfielder Claude Makelele from Real to English Premiership side Chelsea last month for 24 million euros ($26.2 million).
Real sold the player after he went on strike briefly in August to protest Reals refusal to increase his salary of 1.2 million euros, which he claimed was a fifth of what his teammates Ronaldo, Zidane and David Bechkam earned.
The way everything happened is not good for football, Queiroz said. When a player signs a contract and then does not respect it, that is violating professional and contractual principles.

text: I will gloss over the details, but I'm totally shocked because my dear friend called the police because her little guy (around 8) was pulling at his hair begging for help, threatening to cut himself and kill his big sister. The cops hemmed and hawed, watching him, and pretty much said to call Social Services, which, in part, said they have a long waiting list. My friend is kind of shy and non-assertive and I'm trying to help. If she had taken this boy to a hospital ER, would they have had to admit him? I told her to do it, but she was leery that they'd do it--get him any help, even though the policeman had taken the report. How do you get kids admitted to hospitals? She has two little ones who are obviously very mentally ill, but adopted with birthmother suffering from severe psychiatric problems and drug abuse. The boy is in decline right now and keeps everyone up all night while he screams in terror and talks to himself all night. The girl also obviously has problems and is very mean and explosive. She has two other kids to raise too. Yet she CAN'T get help. Her psychiatrist told her that she'd just have to live with them that way and that nothing can be done (can you believe that?). He refuses to even consider that maybe they can get better, and there are long waiting lists for other psychiatrists and these kids need help fast. The only medications psychiatrist will hand out are ADHD medications which make the little boy even wilder and more afraid. He did try Risperdal once, but had tics and a very bad reaction and was never again tried on an anti-psychotic. The boy has been increasingly violent. ER then? Does it work?
