#XfinityMoms Got it Going On!!
I travelled down to Willow Grove this week to visit the new Xfinity store and learn more about the things they have that make my tech heart beat. When we walked in I was blown away. This was not the Comcast payment and customer service windows I remember.. you know with the bullet-proof glass separating you from the person helping you?
Xfinity has been working hard to improve their customer service and from what we saw, the new inviting stores (when we were there during the day, there was no wait:) to a new appointment and call-back system and troubleshooting right from your tablet, they have come a long way.
While we were there, we got to learn all about some of the awesome new products that Xfinity has. Here are some of the highlights:)
Xfinity X1
- There is a voice remote… just think Siri for your TV!
- Common Sense Media ratings let parents know what is appropriate for each age
- Kids Zone is a place for kids to explore their favorite content

Xfinity Home
- 24/7 Security Monitoring
- You can access your home on the go with the app on your mobile device…. want to watch what your animals are up to? You can peek in on them:)
- You can control your thermostat and lights on the go… Going to be home late? Turn your lights on to make it look like you are home
- Notifications when the door opens. Great to make sure kiddos got home from school or if you have a parent you can put this on their medicine cabinet to make sure they open the cabinet.
Xfinity Apps
- Xfinity TV lets you stream shows from anywhere!
- Manage your lights, home security and thermostat from anywhere in the world
- Xfinity Connect gives you access to your Voice2Go, address book and more.

Top 11 Truths About Narcotic Painkiller Meds
Medically reviewed on Apr 26, 2017 by L. Anderson, PharmD.
Over-the-Counter Painkillers or Narcotics: The Choices Are Numerous
Strong painkillers like opioids, also known as narcotics, require a prescription and have special DEA rules for dispensing by your pharmacist. Examples include drugs like Oxycontin (oxycodone) or Vicodin (hydrocodone).
In contrast, over-the-counter pain medicines, also called "OTC" or nonprescription pain medicines, are treatments you buy yourself without a prescription at the pharmacy - like Advil (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen), or Tylenol (acetaminophen). However, all of these drugs - prescription or not - can have serious consequences if not used properly and taken as directed on the OTC Drug Facts label or prescription label and by your doctor.
Over 40 People Die Each Day from Narcotics
Painkiller overdose deaths have become a national epidemic. The US Attorney General has stated that the growing number of deaths from prescription painkiller overdoses is an 'urgent and growing public health crisis'.
And the numbers don't lie: forty-five people die everyday from opioid (narcotic) prescription painkiller overdoses – more deaths than heroin and cocaine overdoses combined.
Treatment and prevention of addiction and overdose has become a national priority: in May 2016 the FDA approved the long-acting opioid partial agonist implant Probuphine. Probuphine is the first buprenorphine implant for the maintenance treatment of opiate dependence Probuphine consists of four, one-inch-long rods that are placed in the upper arm and provide a low dose of buprenorphine for six months.
Narcotic Overdoses Can Fatally Slow Your Breathing
All opioids painkillers will produce various levels of central nervous system (CNS) depression side effects such as drowsiness and sedation. But it does not take a large overdose to slow breathing, and this is especially true if a narcotic is combined with another central nervous system depressant such as alcohol or a benzodiazepine like alprazolam (Xanax).
A reversal agent called naloxone (Narcan, Narcan Nasal Spray, Evzio) may be life-saving for patients who overdose on narcotics. If you believe someone has overdosed on narcotics, call 911 immediately to help prevent fatal respiratory depression. If okayed by your doctor, Narcan Nasal Spray or Evzio can be kept for administration by a caregiver in emergencies at home or away.
Many Who Suffer an Overdose Don't Know What to Do
A study published in 2014 surveyed a group of users aged 18 to 32 in New York City. Most of those surveyed were white and had some college education, and had either overdosed themselves or knew someone who had.
However, the majority were unaware of how to respond to an overdose, including how to use naloxone; there was a common belief that naloxone was hard to get and expensive. In fact, in New York City naloxone is free with training in many recovery programs. Researchers stated that outreach programs and training are needed for abuse recovery and response.
Newer abuse-deterrent opioids like Hysingla ER (hydrocodone), Embeda (morphine/naltrexone), reformulated Oxycontin, Targiniq ER (oxycodone/naltrexone), and Zohydro ER (hydrocodone), Troxyca ER (oxycodone/naltrexone), Arymo ER (morphine sulfate extended-release tablet), and Vantrela ER (hydrocodone bitartrate) are being developed in an effort to help lower rates of abuse and overdose.
Where Do Abusers Get Prescription Painkillers?
It's a scary thought, but family members may obtain prescription drugs to abuse simply by taking them from the medicine cabinet. Expired medications may stay in cabinets for months or even years, yet still be potent. In a National Survey on Drug Use and Health, those 12 years and older were asked how they obtained prescription drugs of abuse. Over 50 percent who used pain relievers said they got them 'from a friend or relative for free', or they stole them. These statistics highlight the importance of keeping drugs away from family members who might abuse them, give them away, or even sell them. Consider an appropriate method to dispose of unused prescription drugs.
Tramadol and Hydrocodone Are Now More Strictly Prescribed
As you know, the number of refills on narcotic prescriptions are restricted. However, patients with chronic, long-term pain may receive additional authorized refills if they need pain control around-the-clock. In 2014 many of the rules surrounding refills for prescription painkillers changed. On October 6, 2014, the final Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) rule on changing hydrocodone combination products like Lortab and Vicodin from schedule III to schedule II took effect. In addition, on August 18, 2014, tramadol was placed into DEA schedule IV. These changes were instituted to help curb abuse.
Constipation Can Be a Dangerous Side Effect of Opioids
Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) is an unpleasant side effect of prescription opioid painkillers. Not only is it a nuisance, it can cause health problems such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rectal prolapse, or a rectal blockage. Opioids cause constipation by binding to intestinal receptors and slowing down your bowel movements. If you take an opioid for pain, and have less than three bowels movements per week, with straining, hard stools, or incomplete bowel emptying, you may need a short-term laxative or a prescription agent for opioid-induced constipation such as Amitiza (lubiprostone), Movantik (naloxegol), Relistor (methylnaltrexone), or Symproic (naldemedine). Since severe constipation can be dangerous, check with your doctor.
Experts Don't Recommend Opioids For All Pain
Low back pain, headaches and fibromyalgia are common pain syndromes experienced by many patients. However, guidelines issued by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) recommend that narcotics such as morphine, codeine, oxycodone, methadone, fentanyl, hydrocodone, or hydrocodone combinations should be avoided in patients with these long-term pain syndromes. The AAN states that opioid risks such as addiction, overdose, and death far outweigh their benefits. In fact, the AAN recommends that doctors work alongside pain management specialists if opioid doses exceed certain levels.
Acetaminophen in Combo Painkillers Can Be Dangerous
Pain medications like Lortab and Vicodin, also contain acetaminophen. You may not know that acetaminophen can be especially dangerous in an overdose situation. Overdoses from prescription drugs containing acetaminophen account for half of all U.S. cases of acetaminophen-related liver failure, and often end in a liver transplant or death. Check all OTC and prescription drugs for acetaminophen. Do not exceed the recommended total daily dose (3,000 to 4,000 milligrams per day) of acetaminophen; closely follow OTC label directions. Many painkillers are acetaminophen-free; ask your doctor or pharmacist for a recommendation.
OTCs: Ibuprofen, Naproxen or Acetaminophen Are Effective for Pain
Pain is often due to an inflammatory reaction, especially short-term, mild to moderate pain like a toothache, backache, joint or muscle pain. NSAIDs are very effective at relieving pain due to inflammation. Headaches can be effectively treated with either NSAIDs or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Another bonus: these medications are very cost effective. However, over-the-counter drugs can have side effects, too, especially if used at high doses. Talk to your doctor about the proper dose for you or your child.
Think of Other Options to Help with Pain Relief
Many pain medications like NSAIDs and acetaminophen are available in generic and over-the-counter formulations without a prescription, which can save you bucks. However, narcotics require a prescription and many are now prescribed under schedule II, making their access even more difficult, not to mention their addiction potential. When treating minor to moderate pain, also think holistically about how to treat pain: yoga, meditation, exercise and acupuncture are other drug-free methods that may help to treat pain, or at least be an add-on to your current therapy. Ask your doctor for advice on drug-free treatment for pain.

It's true. Blogging is the nasty culprit. I can't fall asleep at night because of blogging.
It's not even MY blog that's the problem — it's everyone else's!
And I'm going to name names because I'm DESPERATE for some sleep.
Alex Whalley kept me up till 3:00 A.M. on Tuesday (Well, by then, it was Wednesday). He writes killer posts a mile long, he's got a quick wit I admire, and he's a genius at doing a play on words. Just get your 'ask' over to his blog and you'll know what I'm talking about!
I'm convinced. Theresa Bradley-Banta of BigFishTopDogs never sleeps. Never. She cranks out so much content, I can't keep up. It's all good and I want to read it ALL. You know the Lay's commercial that touts, "Bet ya can't eat just one?" Bet ya can't make just ONE visit to Theresa's blog!
Then there's "Mr. Personality", Keith Davis, of espeaking. He's the guiltiest party of all. He posts a comment on my blog. I reply. He comments back. I reply again. What's wrong with that man? What does he think a blog is? A conversation?!
I. Need. Some. Sleep.
And I can't leave out Michelle Shaeffer. I don't know if her blogging engine gets revved up after the sun goes down or she gets a second wind after midnight — can't figure it out. But she ropes me in every time. Michelle offers up (the likes of which you've never seen) loads of valuable resources and biz-building tips. Her blog is a doggone magnet!
Ever heard of speedlinking? Sheila Atwood is the quintessential pro! But I'm warning you. If you go over to her blog to see how she does it, you'll be hooked. You won't want to miss those posts — even if you have to catch them in the middle of the night. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I could name about fifty more bloggers, but you get the picture. These people are the reason I'm suffering from sleep deprivation.
I know what you're thinking — it's not their fault. Yes it is!
*Note* to everyone whose blog I frequent and you know who you are (if you want to cure my insomnia) …
Can you lay low for a while?
Take a vacation, maybe?
Go out on your patio and read a book?
Try Vlogging for a change?
Loan your computer to a starving student?
Well, how about a compromise?
I'm begging you.
For a while (so I can catch up on my sleep), write SHORTER posts, would ya?!
Anyone else out there glued to your chair reading blog posts at the (butt) crack of dawn?

A short, self-conscious intro from Larry:
Here's my morning: my wife and I go for a power walk. I'm a little quiet, she asks why. I tell her I'm mulling today's NaNoWriMo post, and one other thing. She asks what. I tell her that one of my favorite Storyfix guys submitted a guest post, at my request. Didn't tell him what to write about, he had carte blanche.
He wrote it, then sent it, I didn't read it. Too busy with this NaNoWriMo series. But I did plan to run it, because I said I would, and because Dave is… well, you'll see. And, it's been a while.
Dave Monroe and I have been working on his novel together — my role: story coach, with two passes and a handful of exchanges in between) for a few months now. I have to say, Dave is one of the most gifted voices I've encountered. As good as anyone publishing mysteries and thrillers today. The fastest, strongest kid at the pro tryout. If we can get this story right, sky's the limit for him. So it's been a pleasure and an honor to be involved.
On my walk I decided to run his guest post this morning, as a bit of a break from the NaNoWriMo focus. And because it sucks to write something and then not hear back.
And then, this morning after the walk, I actually read it. And that's my problem… you'll see what I mean when you read it. A cynic — I know you're out there — might feel that running this is over-the-top self-serving of me. That Dave is returning a favor with some quid pro quo. He assures the reader that none of this was solicited, so that base is covered adequately and accurately.
So here it is. Still makes me uneasy.
There is value here, not so much about me, but about the process. The availability of inspiration and knowledge that resides outside yourself, while unlocking the writer within. My hope here is that this view, this endorsement, will open you to this NaNoWriMo series in an empowered way, that you'll go back and soak it all in, again, and if you need to read my book you will, and that as a result, when November 1st arrives, you'll be salivating over your story plan.
I promise you a killer NaNoWriMo post later today. But for now, if what Dave says helps trash any limiting beliefs you cling to, this may be the most important post yet in this series. Enjoy.
A Guest Post from Dave Monroe
I want to get one thing straight – I'm not getting paid to say any of this.
No kickbacks, no sweet deals, no nothing. Why am I'm kicking off like this? Because what I'm about to say may come off as ad-speak bullshit. But it's the truth, and nothing but the truth.
Larry Brooks is the best thing that's ever happened to me as a writer.
No joke, the guy saved my story-ass, and then some.
And to think I found him by accident. One night, in a book store, scanning the how-to writing books, I saw his book, STORY ENGINEERING. I pulled the book off the shelf, and flipped through the pages.
I went to the chapter 30, The Most Important Moment in Your Story. I figured I'd give what's-his-name a chance to sell me on his book, otherwise I'd dump it, like I'd dumped so many others.
And what I read blew me away. I've read stacks of garbage on plot points, midpoints, inciting incidents, and on and on and on. But when I read Brooks, he got me by the balls. It was flat out the BEST explanation I'd ever read on plot-point one, or any plot point.
So I bought the book, read it some crazy ass fashion, skipping from this chapter to that, and everything I read was like ah-ha moments on steroids. I sucked dry two yellow highlighters with my manic underlining, then switched to a ball point and drained it, too.
Man, who was this guy? I had to know. So I hopped on his website, locked in with his style, and – well, this is the part I can't explain.
Let me back up a bit.
I had one novel, BLOOD DANCE, published years back. Some mean life-gumbo got in the way of my writing, but that's another story. I've written other novels. They're in the attic, being revered by a big audience, an audience of not even one.
But here's the thing – I've always worked alone, like too alone and for too long, like nobody would see a single word until after a year or two of writing. By the time I showed someone my work played out, dead, just give me a match please. I had nothing left, and I hadn't even made it to the fourth quarter.
So the day I was on Brooks' website, I saw the Click Here tab, the one that led to the blah-blah on his coaching. I clicked through, got the low down, and it hit me – maybe I should give this coaching a try, send this guy the novel I'm working on now ("The Get-back Job," a partial is posted on the peer review section).
I always heard, when the student is ready, the teacher arrives. Yeah, yeah – I don't put much stock in fortune cookies. But something was going on, because I decided to give Brooks a try and let him coach me.
I sent him my first hundred pages and a behemoth of an outline, and I got back an even more behemoth of a coaching document back.
Brooks had read my submission three (3!) times, and put together a 16 page coaching document. At first it felt like knockout punch. To stay with the boxing metaphor – I lay on the mat, praying not to see double, letting what he'd said soak in, and my focus snapped back, and I got up before the ten count.
And it came to me, like I already told you – this guy just saved my story-ass! He probably saved me from a year or more rejections.
It was brilliant how he handled his coaching document. He let me know what worked with me as a writer, and what didn't work with my story. That's critical – he let me know I had the stuff to be in the game, and that gave me the drive to roll up my sleeves and work harder on a story that was way out of the game
Let me just say, for the record – the story was bonkers, lost in sub-plots signifying what-the-hell-is-going-on-here-anyways? It would've been easier if the story only signified nothing.
But, back to Brooks – the guy doesn't quit. Even in our seemingly ho-hum, back and forth emails, he dropped gold bricks on me.
In one email he turned me onto a writer, Nelson DeMille. DeMille is now one my kingpins that I model. I don't sweat leaning on great writers. Hunter Thompson copied, by hand, hundreds and hundreds of pages of Dickens. If HT was okay with leaning, then I sure as hell can be.
In another emails, Brooks told me story planning is the most right brain part of the creative process. Meaning, stories can be fixed. Or in my case, my mess of a story could be cleaned up. Damn, what a relief.
And in another email, Brooks tossed me one idea. He told me it's the single most important thing he's learned as a writer. I ran with it and redrafted everything.
It gave every chapter eye-pop, drive, and burn. A friend of mine Shelly Stoehr, talented novelist (CROSSES) read the rewrite and said it reminded her of James Patterson. So I'm okay with that. Patterson is only the bestselling novelist in the world these days.
But the most important thing I learned from Brooks – I can't do this alone. When I'm writing I get too wrapped up in the dream I'm dreaming. I get too close to my story, I lose all objectivity. I get lost in space – danger, danger Will Robinson on crank. And I burn myself out.
If I don't have someone setting eyes on my writing, it's no different than being in a padded room with a typewriter. Not to put it down, it may be a good career – I could sell my unpublished novels as drawer stuffers at flea markets. Rejection slips make nice wallpaper for bathrooms, especially if they're pink.
But if I want to make payday, this is the gig – I NEED another set of eyes on my work, so I can find out what's working and what's not. And I want that set of eyes on my work as early in the game as possible.
Larry Brooks has the best set of "other eyes" I've ever come across. I love the guy.
And here's a secret – the one thing that almost fucked me up and kept me from getting started with Brooks was fear. There's no getting over fear, there's only going through it, and on the other side of fear, it's all magic.
So let's talk about magic.
As I'm writing this, it's coming to me, I've used Brooks in ways I haven't even told him about. He's hearing about this for the first time, too.
I took a workshop given by agent on how to find an agent. I'd never written a query letter, so I was sweating it. Then I decided to I'd roll up the query letter with what I'd learned from Brooks.
So I outlined my query letter according to Brooks – a set-up box one, first plot point, a reactive box two, pinch points, midpoints, pinch points, an active box three, an all is lost moment, a willing-to-die box four, and so forth. Each story pillar got a slug line in my query letter.
In the workshop we read our pitches out loud. Before I got halfway through reading my letter, the agent wanted to see the book.
Actually, it was kind of a problem, because I haven't finished the book. But she's now read the opening hundred pages, the synopsis, and is waiting for me to finish. Maybe she's the one, maybe not, doesn't matter. These days I have no doubts getting published will happen, and work out wilder than I've ever imagined.
And for that, I'll be forever thankful to Larry Brooks.
So I don't who you are, or where you're at. But if you're hemming and hawing, sitting on the fence about using a writing coach – just do it, and do it as fast as you can.
Let Brooks coach you. I'm sure he can help you turn your writing dream into a reality, into a hardcover book on the shelf, into a movie on the big screen – or why not both? That's what I'm gunning for, and Brooks is helping me.
Why not let him help you, too?
To your very best writing success,
David Monroe

Fondue Sets Gary? I might get my fingers burnt, and what if people go off fondues, and the market drops, they might be the rage now but what if?
Fondue sets will crash in value in the year 2014 when they will be lower in Switzerland than in Italy. People may buy Fondue sets in Italy now, but in 2014 when they are only going to be worth 0.001% of their current value. I will invest in one or two in Switzerland. I refuse to pay more than €1.00 but expect I will be able to buy the best for €0.50.

There is a Sanskrit word pronounced as kleśa. It is used in the Yogasūtra of Patanjali, a systemization of the vedic school of thought called Yoga.
The word kleśa implies a toxic, unpleasant and undesirable state of mind-body associated with a wide spectrum of conditions ranging from simple unhappiness degenerating to disorders such as pain, anguish, affliction, stress, distress, toxicity, poisonousness and fatality.
Patanjali, in the third sutra (aphorism) of the second chapter of his Yogasūtra, identifies five kleśas:
It may be noted that the first kleśa on the list is a matter of our worldview, while the other four are feelings of the mind flowing from it.
Consistent with the vedic notion of understanding as the bedrock of feeling and action, the account that follows explains how the understanding upon which our worldview is based determines the feelings which drive our behaviour.
Health and wellness being a consequence of what we do and how we feel, indirectly the consistency of our worldview with the truth is the real determinant of human health and wellness.

Could you survive an EMP weapon?
My book club is reading "One Second After." it's about the aftermath in a small mountain town after the United States was hit by an electromagnetic pulse weapon. Although the story is fiction, the threat is very real.

Isn't Evolution Just Another Religion That Requires Faith?
No. A religion is a set of beliefs based on the supernatural, which by definition is untestable and impossible to disprove (or "unfalsifiable"). Faith, in the religious sense, can be stated as "belief without evidence." No aspect of science works this way, including the Theory of Evolution. All scientific theories have been scrutinized through years of experimentation, and can all be falsifiable. For example, the Theory of Gravity can be proven false if a scientist can devise an experiment where two bodies did not attract each other. Likewise, the Theory of Evolution could be proven false if a scientist ever documents the evolution of a new adaptation to an organism which did not in any way benefit the organism's ability to survive, reproduce, or ensure the survival of its species as a whole.
While scientists may place faith in a scientific theory, their faith is based on past evidence. For example, all scientists have faith that the Law of Thermodynamics will hold true during an experiment because there is overwhelming past evidence to support this belief. This is completely different than placing faith in a religious belief, which has no supporting evidence at all.

The Pro's and Con's of Multitasking.
Big picture: when you're studying, try to get rid of all distractions. Listening to music, watching TV or texting while studying makes us divide our attention. So in the end, we don't fully concentrate on either task neither of them gets done 100% well.

Today's Reading: Ephesians 1:1-14 and 2:1-10
Once we were dead, but God, in His great mercy, loved us enough to give us life when He raised Jesus from the dead. Once we were dried bones, condemned by our own sin. Now we are God's masterpiece – created anew in Christ Jesus. Why? Why would God do this for us? How could He look at us with eyes of grace and give us another chance. Paul's letter to the Ephesians gives us an idea.
For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. – Ephesians 2:10
God had a plan for Paul and He has a plan for us – so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. God has a plan for each one of us. He saved us for a reason, for a purpose. So in order for us to live up to our created purpose, we ask this question:
What were we made for and what were we saved for?
This letter is from Paul, CHOSEN BY THE WILL OF GOD to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. – Ephesians 1:1
Paul greets the holy people in Ephesus, those who were faithful followers of Christ Jesus, by pointing out that he has been sent by God to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was CHOSEN by God and is now an apostle because it is the WILL OF GOD – God's specific plan for his life. Just as God had a plan for Paul's life, He has a plan for my life and for yours.
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. – Ephesians 1:2
This is a common greeting for the apostle Paul but he goes on in his letter to elaborate on the grace and the peace that God gives us – the grace that plans for our future and the peace that He gives as we walk in His plan.
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us to be holy and without fault in his eyes. – Ephesians 1:3-4
What were we made for and what were we saved for – to be holy and without fault in his eyes. How is it possible to be without fault in God's eyes? The answer can be found in the previous sentence – because we are united with Christ.
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. – Ephesians 1:5
Read that again and let it wash over you fresh and new this morning. This is what he WANTED to do, and it gave him great pleasure. What were we made for and what were we saved for – to be adopted into his own family through Jesus Christ because He WANTS to be our Father, because it brings Him great pleasure to call us His own.
Soak it in.
He WANTS to be your Father, because it brings Him great pleasure to call you His own. He looks at you – the one He created and the one He adopted – and experiences joy at the very thought of you. No wonder He has a plan for your life. He loves you. The plan God has for my life and yours is all a part of the plan He had for His Son.
So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is SO rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ – everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for HE CHOSE US IN ADVANCE, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
God's purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. And now you Gentiles who have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, HE IDENTIFIED YOU AS HIS OWN by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him. – Ephesians 1:6-14
What were we made for and what were we saved for – to be filled with His Spirit, to receive the inheritance that is ours through Christ Jesus and to praise and glorify God!
Precious Father, fill us with Your Spirit today! May every word we speak and every decision we make glorify you, for you are worthy of all of our praise! Help us to fully understand today what we were made for and what we were saved for.

Complete Overhaul
I am very pleased to be able to announce that for the first time in a number of years, 17th Street has had a major overhaul. Thanks to the help of my wonderful friend Angela, the backend of the site has been completely updated and is now entirely powered by WordPress, making the content much easier to update. Thank you so much, Angela!
The layout should be compatible with most browsers and operating systems, but if you notice any problems, please let me know. The only known problem is font rendering in Windows XP. If you are using this operating system, this can be fixed by ensuring that you have ClearType switched on. This can be achieved by going to: Settings > Control Panel > Display > Appearance tab > Effects > Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts: ClearType.
In addition, the site now has a twitter feed (@17thstreetnet) and an easily accessible RSS feed. The message board has also had a significant upgrade. Given these new methods to stay up to date, I have decided to retire the email alert system that we've had for the past few years. Nevertheless, as there were several hundred subscribers to the mailing list, I realise that there may still be a few visitors who would prefer email notifications instead of twitter or RSS. If you feel this way, please let me know and I may look into establishing a new mailing list at some stage in the future.
In addition to bringing the website's backend and social media presence into the 21st century, the content of the website has also had some significant cleaning up in recent weeks as follows:
- A search function has been added in the header which should be helpful if you have anything in particular that you're looking for and don't want to search through the various site sections yourself.
- The author section is now completely up to date: The Legend of Broken is now included on the published work page, Mr. Carr's mini-biography has received a small update, and the newly renamed press page has been updated to include a number of recent articles/web chats along with some old ones that I had missed before. I am also in the early phase of compiling links to various articles and op-ed pieces that Mr. Carr has written and are available online, so if you know of any that you think should be included then please feel free to let me know about them.
- The book section has been updated and contains some new content: the third book page has been updated to include Mr. Carr's recent announcement that another book may be in the pipeline, summaries and critical acclaim for both The Alienist and The Angel of Darkness have been added, The Angel of Darkness timeline has been revised, and the Alienist quiz has been updated.
- The character biographies have had minor updates and now feature additional portraits of the seven main characters, created by the lovely and talented Tiffany. You can find them on the individual character pages. (Stevie still lacks a biography, but I plan to rectify that in the coming months.)
- The previous "more" section has been split into two new sections: a locations section containing maps of Manhattan and Ballston Spa (in both image and PDF format for easier printing) as well as further information on selected key locations, and a history section. Neither of these sections are complete yet, and both will receive significant attention over the coming months.
- The site section has also been updated: the about page has been updated and now includes my contact information rather than needing to access a separate contact page, and the links page has been cleaned up with dead links removed and new links added.
And that's it! If you encounter any problems as a result of the overhaul, please remember that you are more than welcome to contact me.

ORANGE – Carol Channing smiled her million-dollar smile, opened her mouth and began to sing in her instantly recognizable quaver: "Hello, Doti, well, hello, Doti. It's so nice to have you here where you belong…"
Chapman University President James L. Doti looked like a man who had just won the lottery. How many others can say they've been serenaded by a Broadway legend with a personalized version of her signature song?
Doti and his campus had landed something far better than a mere lottery win. Chapman is one of the first universities in the country to receive a Carol Channing and Harry Kullijian Foundation Scholarship for the Arts. Channing was visiting Chapman's main campus Friday to meet faculty and students, receive an honorary doctorate and perform a brief solo concert. Proceeds from the event provide the money for the fund, which will award one annual scholarship to a student enrolled in Chapman's School of Arts and Communication. Channing and her husband, Kullijian, are planning similar visits to selected university arts programs around the state.
"After performing 65 years in the live theater, I want to share some of what I know. I want to pass something on to the students," said Channing, who turned 85 earlier this week. "There's so much I want to tell them: Less is more; let the audience feel it!"
The Tony-winning star of such classics as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and "Hello, Dolly!" started her day at Chapman being interviewed by Doti for his TV show, "Dialogue with Doti," broadcast on KOCE several times a week. She and Kullijian – childhood sweethearts who rekindled their romance in 2003, almost seven decades after its junior-high beginnings – spoke passionately about their belief in the importance of the arts in education.
"The arts shouldn't be an option in our lives," Kullijian said. "(They're) an absolute necessity. We're losing the very values of America by not acknowledging the richness of the arts."
Channing's visit was conceived by James VanArsdale, a former Chapman science professor and an acquaintance of the actress. He and drama professor Michael Nehring organized the daylong event, which included lots of face time with students and a lengthy question-and-answer session in Chapman Auditorium.
Myron Yeager, dean of Chapman's School of Arts and Communication, said $25,000 was needed to establish the Channing scholarship fund. "I have every confidence that we'll be able to walk away from (Channing's performance) with the money that we need," he said.
Yeager emphasized the importance of Channing's gift.
"To my knowledge, this kind of thing is unique. Rarely has a public figure given so selflessly to us."
Chapman's arts programs, which have grown substantially in the past five years, have benefited in that time from some generous private donations.
Among them are a $20 million naming gift from Lawrence and Kristina Dodge for Chapman's well-known College of Film and Media Arts, in 2004; $5 million from Marion Knott, also for a building in the College of Film and Media Arts; and 13 other gifts of $1million or more to the College of Film and Media Arts and the School of Arts and Communication since 2000.
During her afternoon session with students and faculty, Channing talked about her life, her passions, her philosophy and her work ethic; she reminded the students several times during the day that she performed "Hello, Dolly!" more than 5,000 times.
"I've fallen off the stage. That must have been annoying for the audience. I had cancer. I was in a wheelchair. But … I've never missed a show."
Channing imparted some of her stage secrets to the rapt crowd, which included students from five Orange County high schools. Always be in the moment. Never lose focus. Never play a character you're not absolutely in love with.
Someone asked Channing how she keeps a performance fresh, even after 5,000 times. She paused.
"Imagine there's someone in the audience who wants to hear from you. You tell it to that understanding heart." Channing flashed her ear-to- ear smile again and looked into the audience. Her husband Harry was front and center, beaming back at her. "Nothing gets created without total love," she said.

"Made for television, and no better than you'd expect from that."
Nita Daniels (Wagner) and her three girlfriends take a horseback trip up the mountain, expecting to meet their husbands at the top. However, the trip becomes a nightmare, as four members of the 'Aryan Survivalist Brigade' are holed up there, and decide to take out the women and their alcoholic guide, Ding (Skerritt). Initially, Ding takes the fore, but when he is injured it's up to Nita and her pals to fight back. This TVM struggles, largely because of the lack of justification for the white supremacists: the entire party they attack are about as Aryan as they come, so why, exactly, should they be targeted for elimination? It would have been far more plausible had the party been ethnically-mixed, or even their guide been black – or, heck, Jewish.
Instead, the threat here is…well, a bit crap, really. They're all but entirely faceless, clearly no good at marksmanship, and even the biggest of them is no match for a hungover Ding. Understandable, the TV-movie limitations restrict how "nasty" they could be shown, but there's no sense of threat. It probably doesn't help that the best actor in the film is Buster the dog, probably because his motivations are the most clear. The four women rarely get beyond the most shallow of caricatures, without any background to make you care for them – but I must admit, things do pick up significantly in the last twenty minutes, as the heroines find themselves trapped in a canyon, and Allison (Cassidy) needs to grow a spine if she's to save her friends.
It's not a terrible concept; this just needs to be executed with more conviction, and the medium of the television movie is probably not the right one for the story. That doesn't permit the necessary level of dread, which would be something no TV company would want to show, especially back in 1988, when this was made. Finally, a small note on truth in advertising. Of all the facets depicted on the sleeve (right), there are certainly no bears and no lynchings. Nor is there any mention of the Confederacy or the Ku Klux Klan. Skerritt and Wagner, I will give you, but I'm not quite sure what the middle image on the right is supposed to depict.

CICA Opposes Pinion Canyon Expansion Plan
The Colorado Independent CattleGrowers Association (CICA) board of directors have announced that they unanimously and vigorously oppose expansion of the Pinon Canyon Manuever Site (PCMS), located southeast of Fort Carson. The proposed expansion involves 750,000 to 2.5 million acres and hundreds of independent ranching operations, some of which have been family-owned and operated for generations.
"CICA has been working diligently to oppose this plan, devoting countless resources to mount a powerful and appropriate defense for Colorado's cattle producers endangered by this proposed expansion," said Kimmi Lewis, CICA Secretary and chair of CICA's Property Rights Committee.
"Three CICA directors and several members traveled to Washington, D.C. earlier this year and met with Colorado's policy decision-makers to discuss our concerns and express our opposition.
"CICA's voting membership consists solely of cattle producers. CICA is the only cattlemen's organization in Colorado that has no alliances with environmental activist groups like the Nature Conservancy, the Conservation Fund or other environmental extremists," added Lewis.
On April 27, Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., announced he would host a public meeting in Pueblo on May 13 for public discussion of the proposed expansion. "I certainly understand the concerns related to the proposed expansion, and I want to ensure that each of you has the opportunity to have these concerns heard by those directly working on such expansion proposals," said Salazar.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. at the Robert Rawlings Public Library on East Abriendo Avenue in Pueblo. Representatives of Fort Carson and the Pentagon have been invited to participate.
PCMS is currently the second largest Department of Defense training site in the nation.
The DOD manages about 25 million acres nationwide. Purchase of the current PCMS site, consisting of 245,000 acres, was completed on Sept. 17, 1983 at an approximate cost of $26 million. An additional $2 million was used for "relocation" of 11 landowners and for school bond relief. About one-half of the PCMS was acquired through the process of condemnation. (Information obtained from DOD Web sites)
The CICA board of directors released the following quote:
"CICA sincerely appreciates Sen. Salazar's response to our request for his involvement in this contentious issue. He has specifically requested that any recommendation regarding the possible expansion of PCMS be tabled until the Army and DOD have had the opportunity to hear from the People of Colorado. It is now incumbent upon us to participate in the scheduled meeting for a thorough discussion of our concerns. We applaud Senator Salazar for providing this opportunity.
"CICA believes the federal government's action to expand the PCMS is the equivalent of an environmental land grab that victimizes Colorado's ranching industry, removing thousands of acres of productive agricultural land from the state's tax base and erasing independent family-owned ranching and farming operations from the landscape.
"Representatives of Fort Carson and the Department of Defense have failed to provide concrete information about the exact number of acres involved in the planned expansion, nor is there any clear information about the number of families to be displaced by the expansion. Many of the families living in the targeted area now fear the threat of losing their homes and land to the DOD through the condemnation and eminent domain process if they are not willing to sell their property if the PCMS expansion plan is approved.
"A map that surfaced during a Southern Colorado Livestock Association meeting was confirmed by Karen Edge, Outreach Coordinator for the PCMS project (Pueblo Chieftain report April 15, 2006), as one of the agency's planning maps. This particular map indicates 2.5 million acres are involved in the taking. The map matches exactly the Wildlands Project map.
"The Wildlands Project was constructed by more than 500 environmental and socialist groups from all over the world and is a global effort to establish corridors of land throughout America and the world as wildlife habitat areas. To accomplish these goals, the Wildland Project will seize private land through condemnation procedures or via willing sellers. Landowners in the State of Nebraska are already engaged in fighting off this global land seizure effort.
"Long-standing alliances between the U.S. Army, the DOD and environmental activist groups like the Nature Conservancy are an integral part of the PCMS expansion plan, leaving many ranchers uncomfortable and distrustful.
"The PCMS expansion plan incorporates a Private Lands Initiative, which is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Army Forces Command, the Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which seeks to annex additional land around the borders of the installation, creating a "buffer zone", removing even more land from productive purposes. The Nature Conservancy has appropriated seven million dollars to help create this "buffer zone". CICA believes the entire expansion plan is a clear and present danger to not only Colorado's agricultural industry, but to the affected communities and school districts that will be absorbed in the expansion.
"The Department of Defense and the Nature Conservancy are focused on developing a buffer zone west of Pinon Canyon and along the Purgatoire River. The Nature Conservancy has consistently listed that area as one of its priority conservation areas since 1999. The Nature Conservancy's website shows the Department of Defense recently awarded the Conservancy $300,000 to update the Central Shortgrass Prairie Ecoregional Assessment, covering the eastern plains of Colorado and portions of Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. The assessment recommends an alarming portfolio of targeted conservation areas.
"The Nature Conservancy report goes further: 'Additionally, the Nature Conservancy has been working with the Department of Defense to protect buffer areas - lands that border military bases - in southeastern Colorado, just as they are doing around Ft. Hood in Texas. The Department of Defense seeks to guard against residential encroachment, while the Conservancy seeks to protect habitat for plants and animals within those buffer zones. Together, we have already invested in a conservation lease that protects prairie habitat bordering the entire southern boundary of Fort Carson, south of Colorado Springs.'"
"It is illogical for the DOD to expand a military training site in the landscape of southeastern Colorado when modern day warfare takes place in desert terrains, with emphasis on urban tactics. CICA does not believe the PCMS expansion plan is a prudent use of taxpayer dollars or resources.
"With the mounting national debt, rising oil prices and the exploding trade deficit, it is illogical for the U.S. government to spend millions of dollars to expand a military maneuvers site that threatens our rural communities, schools, our very homes and livelihoods.

Work Experience
Work Experience is offered for all year 11 students to take part in, for a one week in industry during the autumn term.
Students are giving the option of finding their own placements, or asking the school, along with Learning to Work which helps in finding placements, to allocate them an employer for the week.
All students are given the opportunity to be placed within a business that relates as closely as possible, if not exactly, within the field they wish to pursue a career in. This year we have seen our students spend time within aeronautical engineering, architectural firms, solicitors offices, the Home Office, law courts, the banking sector -including JP Morgan, hospitals and veterinary surgeries to name a few.
There is support given along the way to prepare the students before going out for their week in industry, from what to expect in a job interview, how to write the perfect CV, advice on what to wear to suit the industry they are working within, and skills to adapt to working with new people.
The work experience placement process will start in year 10 with application forms being sent home before interviews with Learning to Work to ensure the best placements can be allocated to students.
Work Experience week for 2017 will be held from Monday October 9 to Friday October 13. An assembly for the current year 10 who will undertake work experience in year 11 will be held in a couple of months.
For more information, please contact Miss Billingham at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Twin Peaks connection: Richard Beymer plays a prominent role in this episode. Six years earlier, he played Ben Horne in Twin Peaks, which also featured David Duchovny in several episodes.
Episode Title: Sanguinarium
This is Latin for "Place of Blood". 'Sanguinary' means carnage, bloodthirsty or consisting of blood. Finally, 'Sanguinaria' means "Bloodroot".
Nurse Waite's name is most likely a reference to the 19th Century Occultist Arthur Edward Waite, whose name is still on Rider-Waite tarot decks.
The book that Mulder reads and learns that witches can make people vomit needles is the Encyclopedia Of Witchcraft & Demonology by Russell H. Robbins
Mulder says that belladonna is only found in one drug in the PDA (Physicians Desk Reference) but even 1996 there were more than that. Many Eye Doctors use it to dilate patient's pupils, amongst other things.
When Mulder and Scully are discussing the nurse's ingestion and subsequent vomiting of pins. Scully mentions pica which is a condition that makes people eat non-nutritious and non-edible things, such as rocks, glass, metal etc. Mulder then goes on to describe allotriophagy, which he suggests is a condition, possibly even a spell, that causes people to vomit things they never ingested in the first place. This is completely untrue. Allotriophagy is similar to pica in that it is defined as a depraved appetite or desire for improper food.
Mulder: Looks like she took a pretty good shot at you.
Dr. Franklyn: Yes. Apparently.
Mulder: Nothing that a little plastic surgery won't fix up though, huh?
Scully: What could she have been doing in here?
Mulder: Probably not tax returns.
In the operating room, Dr Lloyd is violently stabbing liposuction tool into unconscious patient, who at this point we see has lines drawn on his balding head. Fat being sucked through tube turns bright red.
Nurse Waite: Doctor Lloyd!!
Dr. Lloyd: (pulling down his mask) I think this patient is finished.
Scully: So this man committed these murders in order to make himself beautiful?
Mulder: Everybody wants to be beautiful, Scully.
Scully: Well, he started taking the drug 5 years ago and he went through . . . ooh, he took a lot of it. 19 100-tablet refills.
Mulder: (checking out a passing nurse) Wow.
Scully: (Thinking he's commenting at pill numbers) Yeah.
Dr. Theresa Shannon was named after the actress Shannon Tweed.
The words written in blood on Dr. Franklin's mirror are "vanitas vanitatum" or "vanity of the vanities".
The producers of The X-Files got an enormous amount of angry letters and emails from supporters of Wicca and ritual magic in response to this episode.

Uninstalling due to poor design The content is great, design is really poor. I get a push notification when new articles are added so I go to read on the app, but if I leave the article I can never get back to it. Can't find it. It seems there are a bunch of menu items but none that are useful and no real "home" to the app. I will just be going to website instead from now on. Too bad.

Film Confronts France's Wartime Roundup Of Jews
France is confronting its role in the wartime deportation of 76,000 Jews thanks to a new film. La Rafle is the first graphic telling of the roundup of 13,000 Jews in Paris 1942 by French police. The Jews were held in a sports stadium for four days before being sent on to French camps and eventually Auschwitz.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
A subject that was once taboo is now playing on the big screen in France. A new film portrays one of France's darkest episodes from World War II. It depicts the largest roundup of Parisian Jews, not by the Nazis, but by the French police. Eleanor Beardsley reports.
ELEANOR BEARDSLEY: The film "La Rafle," or "The Roundup," opens in 1942 in Nazi-occupied Paris. Despite the occupation, life is still relatively good. No one can imagine what's in store for the city's Jewish population.
(Soundbite of movie, "La Rafle")
Unidentified Woman: (Foreign language spoken)
BEARDSLEY: Although they're wearing yellow stars, Jewish children play happily in the streets of Montmartre. But behind the scenes, German officials are demanding that the Vichy-collaborationist government hand over 25,000 Jews from the French capital.
(Soundbite of movie, "La Rafle")
Unidentified Man #1: (Foreign language spoken)
BEARDSLEY: The raid begins in the wee hours of July 16th, 1942. French police storm through apartment buildings, rousing families from their bed.
(Soundbite of movie, "La Rafle")
Unidentified Man #2: (Foreign language spoken)
BEARDSLEY: The 13,000 Jews caught in the snare are held for four days in an indoor bicycle racetrack in Paris, known as the V�lodrome dhiver. There is no food or water and sanitary conditions are appalling. Eventually, they're transferred to French transit camps, and then to Auschwitz. Filmmaker Rosalyn Bosch sys she felt compelled to make this movie.
Ms. ROSALYN BOSCH (Filmmaker, "La Rafle"): (Through translator) I wanted to take the audience to the V�lodrome and to those French camps, because there are no real photos or films from that time that document it. This film is like a cause for me, because no one has confronted this head-on before.
BEARDSLEY: The movie is based on the memories of 79-year-old Joseph Weisman, who was 11 at the time, and one of only two of the 4,000 children held at the V�lodrome, to survive. He escaped from one of the French camps.
(Soundbite of movie, "La Rafle")
(Soundbite of screaming)
BEARDSLEY: The film includes wrenching scenes where children are torn from the arms of their parents by French guards. Of the 13,000 Jews held at the V�lodrome dhiver and then sent to Auschwitz, only 25 would survive.
After the war, French governments denied or played down French complicity in the roundup. Andre Juso(ph), a historian of Vichy era, says the film is important for the images it provides.
Mr. ANDRE JUSO (Historian): It's a question of contemporary culture. When an event is not represented in cinema or in the movies or in the TV, it doesn't exist for many people. Now, we have a kind of reference.
BEARDSLEY: The story is not all dark. The film also deals with the often heroic behavior of many Parisians at the time. More than 10,000 Jews were warned or hidden by their neighbors and friends.
Ez Monso(ph), who just saw the film, says she's alive today because of their courage.
Ms. EZ MONSO: (Through translator) My father's family was saved by a French policeman, a commissioner who was friends with my grandfather and warned them, that on that day, they had to get out of Paris.
BEARDSLEY: In the two weeks since the film was released it has generated huge public interest. Janene Fergo(ph) emerges from the cinema, her face buried in a handkerchief. She says it wasn't an easy film to watch.
Ms. JANENE FERGO: (Through translator): I'm so ashamed. I always heard about this, but I never really imagined it. And the children - how could they do that to the children?
BEARDSLEY: The V�lodrome was torn down in 1959. Today, there's a memorial to the deportees in its place. The inscription reads: France pays homage to the victims of crimes against humanity perpetrated by the French state. We will never forget.

Yeah, I know.
Lots of guys aren't into daily contact, so those are the guys that I don't date. I am clear up front what I am looking for in a relationship, and to me, I need that contact. B knows this - especially since we had a discussion about the fact that he disappeared for an entire week without a single word as to why. He didn't owe me anything at that point - hell, we had one date - but it was disconcerting that it happened. He was adamant that he did still want to see me and made an effort to show me he was wanting to continue.
B told me he wants a girlfriend that he can see more than once a week, but so far his work schedule seems to be impeding that goal. I also want more than once a week - it's a requirement for me at this point - so if he isn't going to be able to make time, then I am going to have to step back and reevaluate.
That sounds harsh, but being poly with M has really brought my needs and desires into focus for me. I want someone I can see frequently. If they can't give me what I need, then I absolutely do not want to get emotionally invested in them, period. It is just too difficult.
One thing that I like about A is that we have never had this conversation, yet he has maintained the daily contact. It isn't pages and pages of emails, but it is short, sweet texts that let me know he was thinking of me, for whatever reason. That has kept him fresh in my mind - right now he's hitting all my triggers that are relationship-related and coming out looking awesome.
Right now, I am not ready to write off B. If he messages me in the next couple of days and we set up a date, great. He isn't going to get a bunch of pouts and complaints from me. We aren't committed to each other and he is free to communicate or not. But I am certainly taking notice of what he is/isn't providing and how my emotional state is because of that. Right now, he has me disappointed, because I didn't hear from him (not angry or upset). I am also anxious because it is a flag for me that maybe he is going to disappear again, but I am not anxious to the point where I am crying in bed or anything. lol Maybe anxious is the wrong word? Aware? Alert?

I solved the problem by just switching to OPENBOX this WM is great, I just finished customising it to my needs, now I can do several x sessions at a time. The next step is to setup and configure the wireless card that I have, if I get stuck I will come back and post a new thread. Thanks to everyone for the help!!
How do I mark this as SOLVED?
Edit your first post and change the title.]]>
How do I mark this as SOLVED?]]>
I am going to install the git version, but I have the following questions:
1. will this reset all my menus, and customizations that I have done?
2. do i install the git version like this http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Git_-_using
To get your very own copy of the whole fluxbox repository (including the complete history) you have to clone the repository:
$ git clone git://git.fluxbox.org/fluxbox.git fluxbox.git
After this step you can cut off the network, you can develop completely without any connection to the world. To keep in sync with the latest "official" code just do
$ cd fluxbox.git
$ git pull
yes you are right it goes to the first free "ctrl+alt+f ", I just learned something new!
yes i think the .xinitrc is correctly configured according to the beginners guide is supposed to have one line only, and that is:
exec startfluxbox
I also tried:
$ startx /usr/bin/xterm -- :1
and yes only the xterm terminal is sent to screen 1, but what i want to do is send the whole window manager to screen 1 and be able to do different stuff there. For example watch a movie in screen 0 and then check email in screen 1.
i read your link and yes it appears to be the same issue, I also saw a comment there by you where you mention that this problem made you change window manager, what do you use now? If fluxbox has issues then I would like to try something else.]]>

and on my computer 'startx' goes to ctrl+alt+f4 because it's the first one free (as I have F1-F3 occupied by the consoles).
If you do 'startx -- :3' it will show on the first empty "slot", whether it will be F2 or F10 depends on your setup.]]>
$ startx /usr/bin/xterm -- :1
I am using fluxbox, so to execute the programs I just open the menu on screen 1 and I click on it. After that the program is opened in screen 0. I think I have another issue going on because I just did another test where I just open one screen, any screen and it automatically opens screen 0.
In other words if I do this:
startx -- :3
and then:
there is nothing in screen 3, only in screen 0 (which is ctrl+alt+f7)
I don't know what is happening I am going to have to read the beginers guide again I may have missed something. By the way is it possible to open different x sessions with the same user? or does it have to be a different user for each x session?]]>
the programs that I try to run on screen 1 are executed in screen 0
How exactly do you execute the programs?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ga … e_X_server
I am trying to run multiple x sessions and I am using the command:
startx -- :(whatever screen)
After starting two sessions, one in screen 0 and the otherone in screen 1, the programs that I try to run on screen 1 are executed in screen 0. I tried using screens 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 and the same thing happens. I would really appreciate any help with this issue.
Thanks in advance!!]]>

New Ducati Diavel is Devil on Two Wheels
Ducati and Diesel have teamed up to create a limited edition bike that combines "elements from the past and the future." It's being called the Ducati Diavel Diesel.
According to a press release from Ducati, the bike will be produced 666 times. "To create the Ducati Diavel Diesel, the two style centers were inspired by a hyperkinetic dynamism of a post-apocalyptic, retro-futuristic world," notes Ducati.
The exterior of the bike features a hand-brushed stainless steel superstructure that has "visible welding and rivets". These details along with the leather saddle give the bike an amazing appearance.

This case study highlights some strengths and limitations of spinal cord injury rehabilitation in lower-income countries. Mr. Dee's rehabilitation supports the findings of the Brazilian study that demonstrated neurological outcomes in low- and middle-income countries can result in recoveries comparable to those in industrialized nations.27
In Mr. Dee's case, his type and level of injury, access to high-quality healthcare services (based on government policies and a socialized health insurance system), and a team that was trained and knowledgeable about the treatment and rehabilitation of SCI, all collectively contributed to his positive functional recovery.
However, there was still a significant disconnect between rehabilitation aiming at a "body functional recovery" and a more comprehensive rehabilitation whose goal is successful community reintegration. Some of these outstanding issues arose in the assessment – the patient's perspective made explicit his concerns about work and income.
But what can be accomplished in a single six-week Rehab Cycle is limited. Constraints among a hospital or rehabilitation center's human and financial resources, particularly in low-income countries, often necessitates greater focus on body functional aspects of spinal cord injury than on longer term comprehensive issues.
Nevertheless, in this area the rehabilitation team excelled, allowing Mr. Dee a greatly improved level of functioning. A minority of SCI patients in low- and middle-income countries may be able to access community-based rehabilitation programs. However, the reach of such programs is limited and in Mr. Dee's rural and remote region of Thailand, such services were neither available nor planned.
A minority of SCI patients in low and middle-income countries may be able to access community-based rehabilitation programs.
Poor prospects for employment
Given the importance of employment for both financial security as well as the patient's overall well-being and life satisfaction, comprehensive rehabilitation often includes a vocational component among the various psychosocial interventions. Given Mr. Dee's specific circumstances (age, education, etc.), even the functional gains he made were not likely to improve his chances at securing a job or regular employment.
This left his future uncertain with many open questions. How would he best enter his house given the steps? Would he be able to earn an income? Would state social services consider him eligible for the monthly disability payments that would greatly ease the family's financial burdens? Much remained to be clarified.
Given Mr. Dee's specific circumstances, even the functional gains he made were not likely to improve his chances at securing a job...
However, Mr. Dee's case was not without hope: as emphasized by the physical therapist, family and community would naturally play a large role in assisting him through their rehabilitative support. His daughter would complete her education and hopefully be able to earn an income for the family. His wife would continue to offer her support – a positive factor, and not only for Mr. Dee's emotional status.28
Mr. Dee's case provides only one example of rehabilitation of SCI in a low-income country. He possessed a number of facilitating factors (access to a skilled rehabilitation team, state insurance, a supportive family, an educated daughter, etc.) and some barriers specific to his situation (lack of employment, few options for comprehensive rehabilitation integrating aspects of vocation and environment, accessibility issues, etc.).
To minimize their effects, each of these barriers would require specific interventions, possibly undertaken in successive Rehab Cycles. However, such an expansive rehabilitative program was not available to him.
This case emphasizes the urgent need to address gaps in comprehensive rehabilitation, moving beyond the short-term concerns focused on body functioning, to exploring avenues of sustainable, long-term reintegration through innovative and cost-effective approaches.
This case emphasizes the urgent need to address gaps in comprehensive rehabilitation...
Community-based rehabilitation in both low- and middle-income countries and for those in need and lacking available resources in industrialized countries may be a promising path to ensuring those with disabilities have their needs met comprehensively.
As the WHO maintains its efforts to ensure the integration of those with disabilities around the world, CBR will no doubt be an important tool in making rehabilitation available.
Mr. Dee's rehabilitation supports the findings of the Brazilian study that demonstated neurological outcomes in low- and middle-income countries can result in recoveries comparable to those in industrialized nations.
Furthermore, efforts at integration should necessarily involve the full spectrum of key issues that promote independence in daily living (environmental, occupational, educational) and continued health maintenance.
