Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson( June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) but baptized and raised as Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer and model. After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to leading roles. Her "dumb blonde" persona was used to comedic effect in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range, and her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics, and she received a Golden Globe nomination. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination and won a David di Donatello award. She received a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959).The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibility of an accidental overdose, as well as the possibility of homicide, have not been ruled out. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. In the years and decades following her death, Monroe has often been cited as a pop and cultural icon as well as an eminent American sex symbol.

"Marilyn Monroe would have been 85 today! Bet she would still be so beautiful!"

LONDON (Jun. 16)
The British General Post office is ready to resume postal exchange with Palestine, it was learned here today, but it is awaiting approval from the Foreign Office.
The Foreign Office is somewhat hesitant in approving this because it would imply de facto recognition of the state of Israel. It is consequently reported to be awaiting the outcome of negotiations between Israel and the International Postal Union at Geneva.
A report from Tel Aviv says that U.N. representative John Reedman cabled Secretary-General Trygve Lie that Israelis postal system is functioning well and is able to distribute mail efficiently. The Postmaster General of Israel has been advised by Reedman of the contents of his cable.

When I first shared my love of Thai Chile Salmon, I paired it with roasted potatoes and okra. Recently I have been eating a lot of quinoa in an effort to eat more nutrient dense foods. Low iron stores on my last blood work means more bison (higher in iron than beef), spinach and other leafy greens and subbing quinoa for brown rice. Check out the comparison below.
Brown Rice – 1 cup:
- Protein – 5 grams
- Fiber – 4 grams
- Calcium – 2%
- Iron – 4%
Quinoa – 1 cup:
- Protein – 8 grams
- Fiber – 5 grams
- Calcium – 3%
- Iron – 15%
Instead of pairing the salmon with potatoes, I paired it with quinoa. The quinoa is very quick to cook by following the directions on the box with one change – I cooked the quinoa in canned lite coconut milk instead of water.
Sweet Thai Chile Salmon
- Trader Joe's Sweet Thai Chile Sauce
- Salmon
- Paprika, Salt & Pepper
1. Pour 1TBSP or so sweet Thai chile sauce on each piece of salmon
2. Sprinkle salmon with paprika, salt and pepper.
3. Bake at 375 for 12 min or so.
4. Broil for 1-2 minutes.
5. Be careful not to overcook.
In order to add some veggies to my dish, I sauteed some sliced zucchini for 10-12 minutes and placed on top of the quinoa and salmon in a bowl. This was perfect! I can't wait to have it again soon!

of | design is defined by founder Martin O'Flynn's philosophy that form should be balanced with function. With a natural gift to visualize 3-dimensionally, Martin's approach to interior and furniture design is organic, visceral, and is not dependent on the "golden ratio" school of thought. His method marries logic and modern elegance, resulting in contemporary, clean, engaging environments and products that are used as much as they are admired. Martin is motivated not only by the desire to create aesthetic appeal, but by the details and precision in execution. His dedication to finding the ideal fabric, color, hardware, lighting, eco-friendly material, and angles, personify his integrated and sympathetic approach to design.
When asked about his goals, the Irish born designer said, "Ultimately, I want my work – whether it's a space, a table or a bed I've designed – to provoke thought and emotion. Maybe it's a feeling of surprise and excitement about an extra function or a quirky solution. Perhaps it's just feeling welcome and relaxed in a living space that was designed to create that kind of ambience." As a member of a diversely creative family including architects, surveyor's and graphics artists, Martin's education began at home. His formal education took place at Dublin Institute of Technology, where he earned a qualification in Environmental & Spatial Design before working for esteemed architects and designers in Ireland, Finland and New York, where he has been located since 1999.

My friend Stacie has been a part of my life professionally and personally for many years. No matter what creative venture I choose to throw at her, she has always been 100% supportive of my endeavors. It all started with her noticing my love for cooking and entertaining way back in 2006 and bringing me on board to her mastermind of Nashville Lifestyles and Murfreesboro Magazine publications and now many years later I am still writing for her uber-successful magazines. I now have this blog that was born from that same love of cooking and writing and it means the world to me that it has been given the "Stacie-seal-of-approval". Stacie continues to remain a dear friend, but also serves as my most trusted sounding board for my creative and professional ideas. In the last year she also started her blog Southern Sophisticate that embodies all things Nashville as well as travel, food, and fashion. You can get a behind the scenes look into her life as Publisher of Nashville Lifestyles and all the celebrity adventures that come along with it as well as great product tips and suggestions and even greater reviews of excellent places to travel. She also has super yummy food and drink recipes as well. Stacie is a lover of great cocktails and has lent me her Orange Splash recipe made with fresh oranges, Meyer lemons, Grey Goose Vodka, and Cointreau for what I find to be a very Thirsty Thursday today!! Be sure to check out her blog Southern Sophisticate and follow her on Pinterest and also follow her on Twitter @StacieStandifer and don't forget to have your Orange Splash in hand while doing it!
- 2 ounces Grey Goose vodka
- 1 ounce Cointreau
- 1 splash Meyer lemon juice
- 2 splashes fresh orange juice
- Sugar and Orange slice for garnish
- Take a piece of orange and rub around rim of a cocktail or wine glass. Dip the glass into a bit of Sugar in the Raw on a paper towel. Shake loose excess. Fill the glass half full with ice. In a shaker, mix the liquors and juices. Pour into glass over ice and serve.

Ben Thompson dreamed.
His students practiced and persisted.
Practice, practice, practice and a dream carried Thompson's 18 ukulele-playing middle-schoolers from George Fox Middle School in Pasadena to New York City. At last weekend's NY Uke Fest in Manhattan, where the best performers in the country gather, they were the only young people invited. Now, on Friday, May 5, they reprise their show in Annapolis at the Maryland Maritime Heritage Festival.
Thompson is an inspired man used to following his own instrument.
Thompson follows not the drum but the ukulele. His admiration grew into ambition when he read about Dave Means who, here in Annapolis, crafts his beautiful one-of-a-kind Glyph Custom Ukuleles by hand (www.glyphukulele.com).
Thompson dreamed of creating a ukulele band at his school. The problem was that no one at George Fox Middle School, except Thompson, owned a ukulele. If Means could build custom instruments, so could his kids from simple kits.
Thompson surveyed students and former students from his science classes. Who wanted to craft a ukulele from a $24.95 kit and learn to play it? Sixth, seventh and eighth graders from Thompson's science classes wanted to. They signed up for the after-school club. Thus the George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble was on its way.
Why the ukulele?
If you associate the ukulele with Hawaii, you're right. The ancestor of the ukulele is an instrument called a braguinha brought to Hawaii by a Portuguese immigrant in 1879. From the braguinha, native Hawaiians created their own instrument made from Koa wood to play their own music. The word ukulele in the Hawaiian language means jumping flea. Perhaps the instrument's name describes the player's dancing fingers. Hawaiian ukulele players are still some of the best in the world.
The ukulele has risen and fallen in popularity. Boater-hat-wearing swains serenaded flappers in the 1920s. Arthur Godfrey played a ukulele on his 1950s' television show. Tiny Tim had a big hit in 1968 with Tiptoe through the Tulips. Today rock, reggae and even jazz musicians experiment with the ukulele sound.
The ukulele is an ideal instrument for an after-school club, according to Thompson. (The ukulele ensemble is separate from the school's band.) The ukulele is affordable. The students can buy kits and build their instruments.
The ukulele is a simple instrument. The students can learn to play without years of practice. "You can begin playing faster the ukulele has four strings; a guitar has six. You can enter the instrument sooner," Thompson explains.
With no experience necessary, the band was open to all. The ensemble allowed "students of all abilities to come together," says teacher Jacqueline Albert.
Advised by Dave Means, the students worked after school for several months crafting their ukuleles. They glued the body and the neck together, sanded and stained the wood, attached the frets and the strings and customized their instruments with stickers and decorations.
With their instruments tuned and ready the musicians practiced, practiced, practiced. Thompson played with the band and sang. Two students played bass guitars. Other musicians also sang.
Their enthusiasm was catching. The Annapolis Maritime Museum and museum director Jeff Holland "supported us through free song writing workshops," Thompson says. The same Jeff Holland and Kevin Brooks, wearing the hats of Them Eastport Oyster Boys, gave the group permission to play their songs.
Ukulele musician Victoria Vox, whose latest CD is entitled Victoria Vox and Her Jumping Flea, played at the school.
From principal Kevin Dennehy on down, teachers and administrators support and encourage the group. So do their parents, some of whom accompanied the musicians to New York.
With such support, they were on stage within months. Their ukes have taken them far. As well as the NY Uke Fest, the George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble performs locally. The two-year-old ensemble has toured the Naval Academy Museum and written a song about the ship models there. They sailed on a skipjack. They are planning a tour of the Thomas Point Lighthouse.
These student-musicians have a range of opinions about what they like best about the band. "I like that we get to make our own ukuleles," said sixth-grader Orion Parmer. "My favorite part is performing," said musician Robert Smith. "We get to travel a lot and visit new, exciting places," said road warrior Bryan Fountain, a seventh grader.
These virtuosos also write their own music.
The lyrics of one song they wrote Tan Sandy Shore (of the Severn) sing of the time they planted native underwater plants in the Severn River. Two lines read, "The sound of the children, diving to plant their grass, the sound of children laughing, not sitting back in class."
The ukulele ensemble is fun, but it also extends the school's science curriculum, helping students find another way of expressing their love of nature, the outdoors and the environment of Chesapeake Bay.
Interest, inspiration, a dream, work, love of nature, support and practice, practice, practice. That's the formula for the success of the George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble.

Water velocity in a river alternately speeds up or slows down as water flows
past the S-shaped meander curves. Rivers are excellent transporters of huge

Video platform Brightcove is laying off 25 staff (or 14 percent of the workforce) in its Cambridge, Mass. office, reducing overall headcount from 172 to 147 staff, according to fierceonlinevideo.com. The company says in a statement (via fierceonlinevideo.com) the "staffing adjustments" are part of its overall strategy. But it fits that a company whose current and potential clients are cutting back on staff and investment might have to make its own cuts in a downturn.
It comes as Brightcove announces a technology-sharing scheme, the Brightcove Alliance, allowing its video distribution clients to use technologies and hacks already developed by some 80 previous users of its API, like Conde Nast and Utarget.fox. Alliance members also get support and, from next year, training. Release.

Monsters, Inc. Facts
Disney News
Disneyland Resort News
>> Monsters, Inc. Facts
Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! was inspired by the hit 2001 Walt Disney Pictures presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios film "Monsters, Inc."
The exterior of the attraction is reminiscent of the opening title sequence from the film, featuring multiple colored doors. The facade also features graphics of such characters from the film and attraction as Roz, Randall Boggs, Boo, Needleman and Smitty.
The entry point of the attraction is set in the Monstropolis Transit Authority, featuring posters that exhort guests to "Join the Child Detection Agency!" A video by the Monstropolis Chamber of Commerce gives guests a peek into the world they are about to enter.
An open phone book in the Monstropolis Transit Authority features advertising for such establishments at "Monster City Café," "Cyclops Optical," "Tony's Grossery" and "Screamtronics."
The Transit Authority features sales of "The Daily Glob" and "Monstropolis Horn" newspapers with headlines such as "Baby Born with Five Heads – Parents Thrilled" and "Scream Shortage Looms – Modern Kids Hard to Scare."
A vending machine in the Transit Authority features such snacks as "Primordial Ooze," "Blort," "Bag O Calories," "Sugar-Salt & Fat" and "Polyvinyl Chloride."
Guests pick-up their taxi vehicles across from the "Rabid Transit Stop" featuring a crosswalk signal that blinks "Stalk" / "Don't Stalk"
Each taxi features personalized license plates such as "FOBY AH," "SCREAMR," "GOTCHA," "PETRIFY," "CLAWS" and "MNSTR4U."
Imagineers created the three-dimensional world of Monstropolis based on actual blueprints developed by Pixar Animation Studios for the film, "Monsters, Inc."
The main cast of Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! includes:
James P. Sullivan (Sulley) - Voiced in the film and attraction by John Goodman. Sulley is the purple-spotted, aqua blue top Kid Scarer at Monsters, Inc. who inadvertently lets a little girl into the monsters world of Monstropolis.
Mike Wazowski - Voiced in the film and attraction by Billy Crystal. The little green-eyed monster is Sulley's scare assistant at the factory and best friend who helps him return Boo back to the safety of her bedroom.
Boo - Voiced in the film and attraction by Mary Gibbs
Randall Boggs - Voiced in the film and attraction by Steve Buscemi. The purple slithery chameleon is Sulley's rival for top Kid Scarer and is determined to thwart Mike and Sulley's attempt to successfully return Boo to her bedroom.
Roz - Voiced in the film and attraction by Bob Peterson
Celia - Voiced in the film and attraction by Jennifer Tilly. The receptionist at Monsters, Inc. with the Medusa style hair (literally) and Mike Wazowski's girlfriend whose patience wears thin as havoc ensues as Mike tries to get Boo home.
Needleman and Smitty - Voiced in the film and attraction by Dan Gerson
The C.D.A. (Child Detection Agency)
The havoc-wreaked sushi restaurant in the attraction is called Harryhausen's. This is an homage to stop-motion film animation pioneer and Academy Award® winner Ray Harryhausen noted for such films as "Jason and the Argonauts," "One Million Years B.C." and "Clash of the Titans."
The sushi chef octopus behind the bar in Harryhausen's has only six legs. This is a reference to "It Came from Beneath the Sea," a 1955 science-fiction film in which Ray Harryhausen created an octopus with six arms due to budget restrictions.
Jonathan Sachs, the arranger who worked with Randy Newman on the music for the film, arranged and composed additional music for the attraction.
The attraction features both black light and white light art direction, giving it a variety of rich environments.
This is the first Disney park attraction that travels through a scene in a bathroom.

CS,AG, Governors, go to work! you've been shown way by Dr. Matiangi
The government has outlawed NASA anti-IEBC demos in central business districts of Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.
"We cannot go on this way. It is unfortunate to see people's cars being smashed, property being destroyed in the guise of a peaceful demonstrations. We must respect the law," he said.
At the same time, the CS has said that the government would charge Nasa Chief Executive Norman Magaya for calling the demos that turned chaotic on Wednesday. "We shall prefer charges against him because he is the one that called the demos, after we have quantified the extent of the damage," Dr Matiangi
The CS called on traders who lost their property during the demos to record statements with the police.

Welcome ~
Thank you for taking the time to visit Alchemy Counseling. I trust that you have been drawn here by the desire to heal or change an aspect of your life in some way.
I have chosen the term alchemy to represent my counseling practice because the ancient metaphor of transformation speaks to me as a therapist. The process of therapy is a transformative endeavor. Whether you are working through the pain of grief, healing or transitioning a relationship, working to overcome anxiety or depression, or releasing obstacles to the manifestation of your dreams, a change is required. Be it one of perception, behavior, or emotional response, this shift that occurs as a result of the work we do together in therapy is what I refer to as the alchemy of counseling.
I characterize the type of therapy I practice as holistic psychotherapy, a unifying approach aimed at guiding my clients in their reclamation of wholeness. I believe that the psychological, spiritual, and physical dimensions of the individual are intricately interwoven. I do not engage in bodywork; however, helping people to resolve issues by aligning the wisdom of the mind, body, and spirit is part of my practice. Conscious integration of these elements combined with practical psychotherapeutic methods and tools creates a powerful fusion for creating change, growth, and balance in one's life.
I hope you will consider allowing me to support you in bringing resolution and transformation to whatever concern you are experiencing right now. In releasing what no longer serves, it is possible for you to experience a shift which will bring you closer to your authentic self and to the wholeness that is your natural birthright. From this vantage point, you can see your own reality in a more radiant light, and in the words of Henry David Thoreau, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

Music is an outstanding gift of God and next to theology ... I would not give up my slight knowledge of music for a great consideration ... and youth should be taught this art ... for it makes fine skillful people ... I would certainly like to praise music with all my heart as the excellent gift of God which it is and to commend it to everyone.

By Jorge Heine; JORGE HEINE teaches political science at Inter American University in San German, Puerto Rico. He is co-author of ''The Puerto Rican Question.''
Published: March 31, 1985
People in San Juan refer to the rest of Puerto Rico as la isla (the island), as if the capital city were on the mainland. It could well be argued that sanjuaneros are much closer psychologically to the United States than Puerto Ricans living outside the city, but the custom really goes back to the 16th and 17th century when San Juan Bautista, as the city was known, was limited to what is today the Old City, on an islet off Puerto Rico's northeast corner. Regardless of whether the continued use of the term la isla betrays underlying political attitudes, the fact remains that more and more Puerto Rico has come to be divided into the San Juan metropolitan area, now encompassing roughly one-third of the island's population, and the rest of Puerto Rico. The overwhelming majority of the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit Puerto Rico every year never step out of San Juan, thus missing most of the still unspoiled and most attractive areas the .island has to offer.
One of them is western Puerto Rico, an area that lies west of the line going down from Quebradillas on the north coast to Guanica on the south coast, where United States troops first landed in Puerto Rico on July 25, 1898.
With a small extra effort, it is an area as easily accessible as San Juan to the visitor from New York City, Boston or Chicago, with the important difference that it still retains many aspects of Puerto Rico's traditional way of life; it also offers modern amenities at a substantially lower cost than many other Caribbean destinations.
The best and most convenient base for a visit to the west is Mayag"uez (population, 96,000), the island's third largest city and the economic and cultural capital of the western region. With an average temperature of 78 degrees the year round, Mayag"uez has a deserved reputation as one of Puerto Rico's most livable cities, where a balanced development of agricultural, industrial and commercial activity has brought controlled growth rather than the extremes of frantic expansion or outright stagnation that are so common in other Puerto Rican townships.
The place to stay in Mayag"uez is the Mayag"uez Hilton International, a 150-room hotel overlooking the bay, built on 25 acres of what used to be the grounds of the castle of the Valdes family - a turret of which can still be seen at the hotel's entrance. The hotel is one of those rarest of anomalies, a Hilton designed and built to blend into its tropical environs rather than to overwhelm them. Even if you don't stay at it, you should certainly drop by for lunch or dinner; the Sunday buffet, at $13.50 a person, offers a variety of meats, seafood and salads, and just to sit down in the main dining room, surrounded by the tropical greenery of the 400 varieties of plant species in its gardens is a pleasure in itself.
Exploring the area raises the question of mobility because, outside of San Juan, there is no public transportation to speak of. Puerto Ricans depend almost exclusively on the private automobile for transportation. More than a million cars are registered on an island of 3.2 million people. The carros publicos, taxis shared by several passengers on a fixed route system, are relatively inexpensive, but also less than comfortable and convenient. Moving around by taxi, on the other hand, can be costly. The best way to get to know the west is to rent a car; both Hertz and Avis serve the Mayag"uez airport. The highways and country roads are somewhat narrower than in the United States but generally paved and in good condition; road signs are more than adequate, and with a good map in hand it is easy to find one's way around.
Although English is by no means universally spoken, most people understand it and will be eager to give directions. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that Puerto Ricans, particularly on secondary roads, will often stop their cars without notice - upon seeing a friend, some ripe mangoes on the ground or for any other reason. Therefore, off the main highways, driving slowly and keeping a distance from other cars is imperative.
The first objective of any visitor to the west should be the beaches. There are enough of them to provide a different visit every day for a week, and they're all within a 45-minute drive of Mayag"uez.
The Tres Hermanos (Three Brothers) beach in Anasco is the closest and in many ways the most spectacular, since it has two miles of palm tree-lined sand set against the background of the Cadena mountain range. To get there, turn right on leaving the Hilton driveway and, after a couple of hundred yards, take Highway 2 (la carretera militar, as it has been known since the days of Spanish rule). Drive north for some five miles. After an iron bridge you will get to a traffic light; turn left there, taking Route 115, which will take you through the Anasco sugar cane fields. After a couple of miles you reach Route 401; turn left, and after a few minutes you will be at Tres Hermanos Beach. At one end of the beach, the fishermen come in every afternoon at around four o'clock, landing chillo (red snapper), mero (grouper) and other fish as well as lobster.

Former Monkee Tork shares his affection for folk songs, blues and memories
By Joe Sweeney
on May 4, 2013 – 4:58 PM
Great songs can transcend a lot. No matter what kind of crass commercialism is used to sell them, the hooks still grab you, the lyrics still make you smile, or contemplate, or cry.
The Monkees stand as one of the purest examples of this crassness, of the depths the entertainment industry will plunge to feed the gaping maw of its bottom line. By making a goofy TV show about a fake band that lifted the formula of the Beatles wholesale, TV and record executives could both make some quick dough without having to try so hard.
But at Sportsmen's Tavern on Friday night, one of those ostensibly fake band members, Peter Tork, played chords and melodies that made all of that context irrelevant – songs that still aim straight for our hearts almost 50 years after they were written.
The 71-year-old multi-instrumentalist was the mop-toppiest Monkee, playing a character whose innocence and charm made him the Ringo to Davy Jones's Paul. In real life, Tork is a soft-spoken, sarcastic troubadour-type; his solo acoustic set was soaked in his deep affection for old folk songs and the blues.
If you were looking for a taut run-through of Monkees hits, you would've been disappointed. This was a multimedia storytelling event as much as it was a concert. As Tork told us stories of listening to Burl Ives with his parents, struggling as a wet-behind-the-ears Greenwich Village folkie, and following his friend Stephen Stills' suggestion that he attend a casting call for the show that would become The Monkees, corresponding photographs appeared on the screen above him.
It was a gold mine for any serious Monkees fan, if perhaps a little slow for somebody who just wanted to show up and sing along. Admittedly, the best moments usually involved Tork getting down to business. A snippet of the lovely folk song "The Fox" made me wish he had done the whole thing. Bluesy renditions of pop hits "Last Train to Clarksville" and "She Hangs Out" exposed their soulful bones. And a banjo-and-vocal cover of Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" was ragged, tender and true.
Tork's website quotes former opening act Jimi Hendrix as saying he was the "most talented Monkee," but Friday's set proved that he's talented, period. Switching between acoustic guitar, banjo and keyboards, the goateed and bespectacled artist (who looks pretty much nothing like the Tork of Monkees days these days) oozed Americana, putting just the right kind of mustard on every chord progression and bluesy lick. His voice was more workmanlike than his playing, but it was invested with an earnestness that felt right.
And it didn't hurt that he was pretty funny. In the middle of "Higher and Higher," Tork tried to get the crowd to clap along. A bunch of folks started clapping on one and three.
"You don't know what clapping is, do you?" he quipped.
There, in that moment, we got a solid idea of who Peter Tork is. He's got the friendliness and humor of a Monkee, and the world-weariness of a septuagenarian in a small Buffalo club, who just wants a proper backbeat already. You don't normally get this level of insight from a live show, so for people still in the throes of Monkeemania, this was a very special night indeed.

Do You Hug Your Business Too Much?
Show Your Commitment[audio|titles=Are you hugging your business too tightly]
Whether you are a home business owner or a writer, there will come a time when you are asked the following question:
Just how committed are you?
Typically, most people will respond that they are very committed. They may even embrace immoderate doses of hyperbole in their desire to express commitment, and declare that there's nothing in their life more important than achieving their business goal or dream. To that, I say…
Hmmm. Really? Nothing?
What about your family? What about your health? Show your commitment to your work, but don't get committed into a professional facility in the process. What you're doing – if you take this stance – is hugging your business too much and too hard. You're suffocating it. What do I mean by that? Well, your work needs something outside of itself to be the horizon towards which you sail. If you don't have an actual destination … if everything is self-referential … you'll be all at sea for infinity.
Who Do You Want to Hug?
This isn't a competition. You may not have anyone significant in your life, or you may have a whole tribe of children and a devoted husband or wife. It doesn't really matter. Who do you want to hug? If you can't think of someone it would be legal, ethical, and appropriate to hug, buy a pet. You need someone in your life who you can hug. Businesses don't snuggle you. Fact!
How to Improve Your Hug Rating
When you've made your list of people you want to hug (family, friends, pets, etc) write down the last time you hugged them.
Next, write down the number of hours you spend on social networks a day … 'working'.
Now, work out how long it would take you to travel to where your hug-recipients live. Take that amount of time out of your social networking time (you can use automation to do this) and … hug them.
N.B. Do not leave the scene of the hug without making plans for future hugs. Put those plans in your diary and continue to make actual contact with others a priority in your life. Once you've done this, you'll find that you no longer need to hug your business so tightly, and you can let it serve you and others in a more liberated way.

I'm really curious to see what Heineken does next weekend. Do Lab is up already and I doubt big changes are made to the main lineup.
Heineken is killing me!
You're right.
Hopefully they also stop booking punk bands because Warped Tour exists.
No more Motorhead-esque acts due to the numerous metal and rockabilly festivals.
We can probably cut out hip...
I like EDM and I like non-EDM as well. I plan on spending a significant amount of time at all of the stages. For me, it's nice to be able to go to a festival and experience all of the genres I like...
Maybe not less but I think the weekend 2 crowd tends to be more civil. A lot of people clamor for weekend 1 because its 'cool' and its the party weekend; therefore you get flocks of bros. Weekend 2...
Any word yet on the weekend 2 lineup?
Also, I got zero snaps from their snapchat account all weekend. There was some interaction at first and maybe I had told them I was weekend 2 but I just forgot?
Galantis got their first EP out there.
Aloe Blacc released a new album.
Gareth Emery released a new album too, but probably not too appealing to most board goers.
My girlfriend and I don't agree on everything. We plan on splitting up and finding each other later. Coachella happens once a year.
Is the Heineken lineup usually the same for both weekends?
I would love to see Sneaky Sound System, gonna be pissed if weekend 2 doesn't get them.
LOL. I felt the same way watching this video. It was terrible up until about the second Lorde stopped moaning and carrying on.
You forgot about the lights. Imagine an old-school lightbulb-grid scoreboard type setup. Except instead of scores its flashing images of stick figures in different sex positions.
I listened to the new album today and this was probably the biggest standout for me. Close second would be Our Demons or Carry The Sun.
Bad Wings is still my all time though.
City and Colour
Agree entirely. Put me on the hate list.
Sunday weekend two is Easter. We could have an Easter egg hunt somewhere in the campground. Just saying...
Beyond excited for Flume. Is everyone thinking Mojave?
My bad I got my days backwards. Pretty sure I meant Modestep. I don't listen to either artist so that was a crapshoot.
I didn't even know he used to do this, but I would absolutely love to see it! Every once in a great while the Sahara will host some live instruments. They did last year for that Excision thing...
Yeah I saw it on my Facebook phone app, but I didn't think to take a screen shot because by the time I realized that NIN wasn't on the lineup they had removed the @nineinchnails from their post. ...
So what went wrong with NIN?
Anybody find it odd that when they first announced the lineup on fb they had an @nineinchnails in there and its since been removed?
Maybe if we get enough people refreshing the page all at once they'll say to hell with it and give us the lineup
The Format
My work-to-Chella ratio is getting increasingly worse. Like right now, on the forums, at work.
I'm assuming he brought his full light show if he wasn't stationed in Sahara?
Did he do the city skyline backdrop thing?
They just didn't show up last Sunday?
Man that sucks, they were toward the top of my must-see list :/
I always take a photo on my phone containing a friend's name and contact info (along with a message about being lost) and use it as my lock screen. If my phone gets lost, nobody can get through the...
Agreed. You want to glowrupt outdoors. PL is definitely the best option.
Maybe similar, but it was a different flower. Coachella had a Lilly, EDC had a daisy.
Is there any type of official confirmation on this yet or is it all still educated guessing?
I would break up with her for threatening something that asinine.
I don't have time in my life for stupid people...
Front page of Coachella.com still has them listed on Sunday. Second line under RHCP...
Also, they are on the Coachooser under THE Lumineers.

OK, first of all, this is not a "should I, shouldn't I" question. That has been beaten to a pulp several times on this and other forums. I would not travel without it, so that's where I am on the subject.
Rather, it's a question of timing.
If you book a cruise several months or a year out, when do you buy insurance?
We have always purchased right after booking so as to have the "previous condition" waiver. Now I am questioning whether that is the right thing to do.
The reason I ask is that we had booked a cruise for this July, and had to cancel last week. Other than the deposit, we didn't pay anything except for the insurance.
If you don't cancel within the cited review period (usually 2 weeks or thereabouts) you cannot get a refund....or it's difficult to do so. We did not get a refund so we are out that cost.
So what would my exposure have been if I purchased insurance right after the final payment? How would previous condition come into play as I have had a heart attack (2001) and heart failure (2010).
Any thoughts and advice is, as always, greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Posh - Williams a Doubt for Cup Match!
As the squad contemplate an FA Cup 3rd round fixture against Premier League West Brom, Darren Ferguson has only one injury problem.
Our dependable left back, he who is attached to the model Nicola McLean, Tom Williams, may miss the encounter.
Williams has been suffering with a knee problem and it`s touch and go whether he`ll make it or not,
Speaking about the situation to the local media, Darren Ferguson has remarked,
'Tommy is the only doubt as he has hardly been training because of a long-standing knee problem. If he plays tomorrow he would be struggling for Tuesday.
'We missed him badly when he didn't play against Leicester the other week, but Danny Blanchett did well in the last round at Tranmere and he's looked very good in training in recent weeks.'
Clearly, Darren has a decision to make. Does he rest Tommy tomorrow believing the League One match with MK Dons, on Tuesday, is far more important, or does he chase FA Cup glory?
What would you do?

Who wouldn't mind a little smack on the bum from Dancing With the Stars' Maksim Chmerkovskiy?
We sure wouldn't.
And his partner Brandy doesn't have a problem with it, either...
"I don't mind the spanking!" the singer told us last night at Ubisoft's launch of Just Dance 2. "The spanking gets me going a little bit. It's all good. It looks like it hurts but it doesn't hurt. I try to act like it hurts so he can feel like he really did something but it didn't hurt."
Brandy continued, "Me and Maks are really, really good friends and we're growing to be greater friends. I can guarantee you that after the show is over that he's going to be my buddy."
The Season 11 competitor recently admitted on the show that she hasn't been with a man in six years. So will her pro partner's below-the-belt booty smacking change that?
"Maks is hot, I must admit," she says. "But he's more like a brother to me. But he is the type of guy—that drive and that champion inside, of course—that's the type of guy you want to date."

Churchgate-Virar elevated corridor: Rs 19,000-cr project out of cold storage
Prabhu catches authorities unawares by re-announcing the project that had been forgotten for more than three years
Looks like Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu's googly has stumped the rail authorities. In his budget speech yesterday, the minister reintroduced the Churchgate-Virar elevated rail corridor. The project had been in the cold storage for more than three years.
Spelling out his strategy, the Railway Minister said it would rest on three pillars of 'Nav Arjan, Nav Manak and Nav Sanrachna (new revenue, new norm and new structure)'
Prabhu stated that he hopes for an early financial closure for the elevated Churchgate-Virar line alongside CST-Panvel fast elevated corridor. The 63-km-long Churchgate-Virar corridor has been in the doldrums and its alignment has undergone myriad changes ever since it was proposed. The R19,000 crore elevated rail line was first proposed more than seven years ago by the then rail minister Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Sources claimed that seven months ago, the Western Railway (WR) handed over the project to the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC). Commenting on the issue, WR general manager G Agrawal said, "I do not know the exact position, as the project has been handed over to the MRVC."
Bone of contention
The elevated corridor ran into trouble after the MMRDA proposed and accelerated its Rs 24,000 crore Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 corridor. This evoked a mix response from authorities, experts and citizens alike, who questioned the need for having two separate modes of transport on similar lines.
"MRVC has a joint venture with the state and are in constant touch with them. So the Railway Board decided to hand over the project (elevated corridor) to them, as it was lying idle," said a senior WR official.
Turning down the elevated corridor, the state then informed the centre that the city doesn't need it because it already had planned Metro 3. Later, the route was shortened to Andheri-Virar. The project cost too was brought down to around Rs 15,000 crore and fresh feasibility study was initiated.
Back on track
Speaking to mid-day, MRVC sources claimed that the company has resumed talks with the state over the execution of the elevated corridor. "In fact, the alignment need not start right at Churchgate. It can either commence from Bandra or Andheri. At present, there is no specific dateline set for starting this project," an MRVC officer said.

Cobra found near Sanjay Dutt's cell in Yerawada jail
The five-foot reptile was found moving near the cell in the Yerawada Central Jail where the actor was busy making paper bags; some inmates spotted it and called a snake catcher immediately
Yerawada Central Jail in Pune was home to panic last week, when a spectacled cobra was found slithering near the cell holding convicted actor Sanjay Dutt. Luckily, some inmates happened to spot the reptile and immediately called a snake catcher.
A jail official said Sanjay Dutt was both shocked and relieved when he learnt that the snake caught outside his cell was a spectacled cobra
The incident occurred last Wednesday (May 13) at around noon when Dutt was in his cell, busy making paper bags. Speaking to mid-day on the condition of anonymity, a jail officer from the Yerawada prison said, "Dutt's cell is near the Phasi yard in our prison.
Sanjay Dutt
He has been given a daily target of making 100 paper bags and, on that day, he was busy doing the same. Inmates tasked with ironing clothes also work near his cell. These people happened to spot the snake near Dutt's cell and raised an alarm."
A snake catcher was immediately called and he came and caught the five-foot snake. The jail officer further said that Dutt was unaware of the events unfolding outside his cell and was alerted only because of the crowd gathered there. This isn't the first time a slithery visitor has entered the prison. The jail official said snakes can be seen moving about in the area during summer and monsoon.
"We initially thought it was a non-venomous snake, but the snake catcher told us it was a spectacled cobra. Dutt was both shocked and relieved on hearing this," the official said. The prison official claimed Dutt, apart from his making paper bags, "chants the names of gods, or writes letters to his wife and fans."
"We have a community radio station in our prison, in which Dutt has done shows as a radio jockey twice. He has also assisted three other prisoners who work on a show on counselling," the official told mid-day. In 2007, the actor was convicted by the TADA court in Mumbai in the 1993 bomb blasts case.
In March 2013, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction and sentenced him to five years in prison, but with 18 months of time served in jail during the trial counted as part of the punishment. This meant Dutt had to stay in jail for the remainder of the 42 months, beginning from April 2013.

The Terrace bantam rep girls hockey team dominated at local zones, earning the right to represent the region in provincials.
Held at the Terrace Sportsplex, it was Terrace and Houston facing off for the northwest zone championship title on Feb.18.
In a best-of-three scenario, Terrace swept the first two games, winning 3-0 in the first game and 1-0 in the second.
Coach Mario Desjardins said it was an exciting weekend of hockey. "Houston's team improved a lot from when we saw them last in Prince George," he said, noting the team reminded him of Terrace's team last year.
Provincials will be held in Victoria March 18 – 21.
Desjardins said the team has an excellent chance at finishing in the top three in the province.
"This year we have a good offensive and defensive team, with quality goaltending from both of our goalies," he said.
Desjardins said it was nice to earn the provincial berth this season through a win, as opposed to last year, when the team went to provincials on a bye, due to a lack of competition.
"Having another team in the north is a great sign for the development of female hockey in our area," he said

Forty-five days per count may not sound like much, but it adds up when you have pleaded no contest to nearly 40 charges against you. That was the case for Emporian Thomas Hebb on Thursday.
Hebb was sentenced to nearly five years in jail on 30 combined misdemeanor counts of obscenity and stalking after he allegedly mailed graphic letters to over 20 Emporia and Lyon County residents starting in late 2011.
Hebb, who was charged a year ago after a lengthy investigation, can have short releases every two weeks for mental health evaluations. He is eligible for a parole request in a year.

Starting at €216
AMD's unlocked Phenom 9600 Black Edition has been listed on several European retail and e-tail sites this morning.
Prices range from €216 to more than €240, but we're guessing it will end up priced at around €220, since the 9500 and the plain 9600 sell for €170 and €200, respectively.
As you probably know, the Black Edition CPU has an unlocked multiplier and that's about the thing that sets it apart from the regular 9600. and the fact that it ships in a cool black box.
The new CPU is still unavailable but don't despair, the retailer sites claim they will have it in stock within a day or two.
You can check out several listings here.

Kanger eVod 2 Bottom Dual Coil Clearomizers are the next generation of the eVod series that introduces bottom dual coils plus the addition of a removable drip tip.
Clearomizers have a filler-less tank system and contains the heating coil in Electronic Cigarettes that serves to vaporize E-Liquid into vapor.
The introduction of dual coils provides awesome flavor, increased vapor production and throat hit due to the larger heating area.
Customize the look of your eVod 2 Clearomizer by replacing the included drip tip mouthpiece with just about any 510 size drip tip.
eVod 2 Clearomizers can be easily disassembled into four parts (bottom base, head, tube/tank, drip tip mouthpiece) allowing you to rebuild your Clearomizer as needed.
The 'Head' contains the dual heating coils / wick assembly and are available in 1.5 ohm (included) & 1.8 ohm.
The 1.6mL capacity "Tube or Tank" is made from a transparent and highly durable plastic (PC) that is housed inside a metal sleeve with two cut-out windows.
Easily fill / refill without the need of a syringe by holding the tank upside down and unscrewing the bottom base from the tank.
E-Liquid is fed to the dual heating coil near the bottom of the Clearomizer through short silica wicks that extends through each heating coil.
Price includes one (1) Clearomizer with a 1.5 ohm head.
Don't forget to purchase spare / replacement heads! Available in 1.5 ohm & 1.8 ohm

Out of the box they were great but the coils seem to lose volume & flavor after about 5-10ml of fluid. I vape 3-5ml/day. I will try to clean the coils, if that doesn't work I'll move on to another atomizer.

Great price.. However, lost a star because it seems as if it is a bit smaller than the original starter kit. Does the job, but runs out quickly.

Tried many, these are the best, broke many other tanks but not this one

I've gone through several different tanks since I began smoking vapes. I'm clumsy so I drop the tanks and batteries often and have had many of them break open on my tile floor! Aside from that issue, many good flavors will taste weak, murky and even burnt in other tanks. The Evod2 tastes clean, and is very sturdy. It's also much easier to purchase replacement parts, and everything comes apart for easy replacement and cleaning.
The only issue that I have with this tank is that the coils burn out relatively frequently, and I've used both the internal and external wick versions (personally I prefer the external wicks, the internal wicks get gummed up somewhat more quickly), and both wear out pretty frequently. Fortunately, they aren't terribly expensive to replace. These tanks are easy to disassemble, and the coils can be replaced even while the tank is full due to the bottom load design. Because of this design, I get fewer wet hits than with any other tank I've used, and only ever get dry hits once the tank is empty. On the rare occasion that it gets a wet hit it's simple to fix, just take to base off the bottom and blow into it from the base and the fluid is expelled from the tube. Just make sure to have a tissue to put in front of the mouthpiece. Hehe
Anyway, I can't see myself switching to another tank any time soon.

Great little tank, love having a dependable tank and for the price point and ease of use these are good for beginners or seasoned vapers alike. If you are looking for a great little go to tank (remember these are plastic so watch your juice acidity levels when using) pick up one or two of these.

It was ok.
Posted by Christoper C. on 2nd May 2014
This is definitely my favorite, intense flavor and huge clouds! Beware it will run through E-Juice like crazy but I still love it!
Posted by Jean on 22nd Apr 2014
I just got my order that included this and the iPow. First off, you guys are fast! I like that. I read reviews saying to make sure to rinse this tank out first, so I did. My first time using it was amazing with that iPow once I found my sweet spot on the voltage. It looks so good together I wish I could post a picture. I guess I'll copy this Review and put it on that thing too! *****!!

The Evod2 is a great little tank. The wicks resist singing or burning better than some others in the price range. I've also had zero issues with gurgles, leaks, or dry hits.
The only thing to remember is, make sure you clean it well before the first use. Some people complain that it tastes burnt or overly metallic. A good blasting with hot water will eliminate the leftover manufacturing elements that create the burnt taste. Soap and water will eliminate the metallic taste issues.
Once properly cleaned the Evod2 is a great tank that is tough enough to handle serious vaping and carrying in a shirt pocket.
Posted by Unknown on 31st Mar 2014
Works great just like the EVOD 1, although I didn't realize the dual coil replacements cost more. But it's cool having a thin bottom wick atomizer and able to swap out drip tips. I also have the Pro Tank 2 Mini. So I use both of them throughout the day.

Hi all, We have recently switched to a linear staining system, which requires set, identical time in each solution. To facilitate this, the concentration of the acid alcohol was lowered from 1% to 0.2%. We are now experiencing blue staining of mucin in cervical, colonic and gastric biopsies. Any thoughts?!

And no, I don't mean the coffee house establishment.
Although, that wouldn't be too far off for us so touche.
Welcome to week six of the 2014 Geek-A-Long, a mystery blanket knit-along! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out the Geek-A-Long FAQ page. Then, meet me back here when you're ready. For the old pros, let's talk about Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck and Anders. (Also, for those of you making every square this puts you at 1/8 done!)
I'm a nerd all the time. But when when it comes to BSG my nerdy underbelly really shows. I can't talk about it calmly. It would be fair to say my feelings regarding it are strong.
When Jac and I first dreamed up this project months ago, we sat down with a calendar and plotted the themes of all 48 squares before I began actually designing them. We wanted to be able to honor certain dates and it was easier for me to turn out all those charts if I always knew what was coming. We started with holidays and jumped around the year until all 48 of our ideas were assigned. When we came to Valentine's Day, there was absolutely no question for me on what this square would be.
I know that this is a controversial statement but I feel completely stalwart in saying that Starbuck and Anders is the greatest love story ever told.
Of course, this comes from the same girl that once chose Dr. Zhivago for romantic movie night, so I do tend to have a left of center preference for my onscreen romances. All the same, nothing is more epic than love, and no one is more epic than Kara Thrace.
This weeks square is a representation of their wedding band tattoos. I had a really good time making this square. The patterning was more challenging than most of the others, and I had to try a few different things to get it to look "right". I think it's one of those where both sides are equally beautiful but I think I'm going to use blue on gray for my front side.
Starbuck and Anders
© Megan-Anne of Lattes & Llamas, 2014
Needles: Size US6
Yarn: Cascade 220 in two sharply contrasting colors. Half a ball of each is plenty for each square.
Gauge: 10 sts over 13 rows = 2″ x 2″ square. Final square is 45 sts by 57 rows. Please note that in the written pattern I instruct you to knit the rows above and below the active color chart. These rows are shown on the chart as solid color rows above and below the design.
Download PDF of the color chart starbuck.
Cast on 45 sts for each side of knitting (with two strands held together CO 45, for a total of 90 sts on needle).
Work 7 rows of double sided knitting (knit the facing sts and purl the back sts across). You may choose to work the opposite color for the first stitch of each row (I do this), which will keep the edges closed. Alternately, you may choose to knit them without doing this and seam the sides when putting the blanket together. There is no "right" way to do this. It is really just what you are more comfortable with.
Follow color chart over next 43 rows in double sided knitting.
Work 7 rows of double sided knitting. BO.
Don't forget to post links to your finished squares, so we can all ooh and ah together and if you're having trouble with double-knitting, Jac and I recently shot a how-to video on the subject. You can find it here. There is also a Geek-A-Long group on Ravelry if you are a member. And of course, hop on over to Child's Play and show them your love*!
~ Megan-Anne
So knit we all.
*"Love" in this instance means money.

Savannah-Chatham Animal Control euthanized about 3,600 of the estimated 5,500 animals it picked up last year.
The carcasses of dogs, cats and wild animals such as raccoons are kept in a trash bin before being transported to a landfill.
But the current disposal process soon could end as county commissioners consider purchasing a $73,000 biomass crematorium being touted as a more efficient and sanitary method of disposing of the animals' remains. The proposal will come before commissioners at their meeting today.
"Consider that under the current procedure, the workers place the animal's body in a plastic bag and await pickup and disposal," said Assistant County Manager Pat Monahan. "On summer days, the bodies begin to disintegrate in a hurry."
Biomass Marketing Association's gasifier uses gas created by the heated carcasses to burn without emitting smoke or odor while producing a sterile ash that can be applied to plants, said co-owner David Mayer. Once euthanized, an animal's body will be placed on a stainless steel cart and rolled into a cooler until a sufficient number of bodies warrants firing up the crematorium.
The self-perpetuating burn cycle that occurs during the process makes gasification more energy efficient than typical incinerators by using significantly less natural gas, Mayer said.
"This is one of the energy projects you usually don't stumble on," said David Miller, building energy manager for the city of Charlotte, N.C.
Charlotte's shelter has reduced its annual energy usage by about 77 percent - a reduction in cost of about $68,000 a year - since the city started using the gasifier, Miller said.
"It paid for itself in less than a year," he said.
County officials hope a new, larger shelter currently under construction will help reduce the number of animals put to death.
Chatham's $2 million animal shelter is on track to be completed by June, Monahan said. The new facility will have 120 cages, 80 more than the current facility.
"Chances are it means we will be keeping animals over a longer period of time in hopes they will be adopted," Monahan said.
The gasifier purchase is one of the more macabre items in the county's push to become more environmentally conscious included on today's meeting agenda. In addition to the $199,000 purchase of a 178-acre island on the Back River for preservation, the county will consider purchasing a $48,000 solar power and water heating system for an educational recycling center on Eisenhower Drive.

Hi I recently got a part time job at Nordstorms. When I applied I didn't tell anyone that I do magic. So today when I was working three people, my manager, a girl who works there, and a guy came up to me and said can we see some magic. I was totally shocked because I didnt tell anyone in the company that I do magic and no one knew me. They found out because I had my IBM pin on my jacket, and they looked at it and figured it out. So I did have a invisible deck on me ( I have a small one on me all the time) so I did that, crazy man handcuffs and some other stuff that were lying around, doing mostly impromptu stuff. They loved it and for the rest of the day, everyone including my manager wanted me to do magic. My manager is about 2-3 three years older then me, so he is pretty cool. He said that we could probably use magic inside the store to draw in more people. Nordstorm is a fortune 500 company and they have a big budget. But the thing is I havent done any work in a retail store before. I have done corporate stuff at parties and events, but not at a store. I am assuming if I would do it I would have a table and people would come up to me, and I wouldnt be doing strolling. I also want to incorporate a sales message into the magic if was going to do it. We are having a huge sale this week, so I could use that. I was thinking of charging $800-$1200 if they want me to it only once but if they want me to do it reguarly I would charge $250-300 each time like 3-4 times a week. If anyone here has done any work in malls or retail store, please feel free to mention any ideas or suggestions.

A row of tents covered with traps line an area near Thane Road and downtown Juneau in November 2009. The land, which belongs to AEL&P, regularly hosts camps of homeless Juneau residents. This camp was torn down by AEL&P soon after this picture was taken, but homeless people still live in the area.
Story last updated at 7/23/2014 - 4:22 pm
Editor's note: This is the second in a three-part series about efforts to improve the condition of downtown Juneau. Part three, which will focus on past and current efforts to improve downtown's buildings and environment, will appear in the July 30 issues of the Juneau Empire and Capital City Weekly.
It costs millions of dollars for Juneau to leave its chronically homeless, chronically inebriated residents to sleep under bridges and in the woods.
Those who work with Juneau's less-fortunate population have been moving toward a housing-first solution called permanent supportive housing. The philosophy is simple: Once the homeless have homes, it's easier to tackle the problems that made them homeless in the first place - addiction, poverty, alcoholism or mental illness. Even from a purely economic perspective, it's something the average Juneau resident should get behind, they say. Though it may sound costly to house and care for those who are chronically homeless and suffering from drugs or alcohol addictions, it actually costs much less than not helping them until they're taken to Lemon Creek Correctional Center, Bartlett Regional Hospital, Rainforest Recovery Center, or another place.
As it is now, says Jennifer Brown, who is both program director of Rainforest Recovery and director of Bartlett's Mental Health Unit, the chronically homeless spend too little time at Rainforest to properly deal with their addiction. Many "sleep it off" in the facility multiple times per month.
"It seems like we have them such a short time to treat them and to stabilize them, and it almost feels like we send them back out to a situation where it's a big set up for failure and relapse," Brown said.
Unless they're Juneau Alliance for Mental Health Inc. clients, they don't usually have a caseworker to help them with their issues once they leave, she said.
"We can't expect people to be successful if they aren't feeling safe and don't have the tools to meet their basic needs," Brown said.
Some of the Juneau Coalition on Housing and Homelessness' progress in the last few years is in understanding the population it's dealing with, said Scott Ciambor, chairman of the Alaska Coalition on Housing and Homelessness. Like Brown, Ciambor wears multiple hats: he's also a planner for the Alaska Mental Health Board.
"The coalition has been great about doing the point in time count, Project Homeless Connect, and finding out what the situation is for the homeless population here in Juneau, to the point we're having a very concrete discussion about a subset of the homeless population," he said.
Juneau Police Department spokesman Lt. David Campbell said he thinks permanent supportive housing is "a fantastic idea."
"I was a cynic at first but ... I have seen research, and think it could have a profound effect in Juneau," Campbell said.
"If we can really move and tackle the permanent supportive housing project, we'll see some real successes," Ciambor said.
Permanent supportive housing is exactly what it sounds like. It's permanent - residents can stay as long as they like.
It's supportive, meaning a case manager, nurse or other staff member will help residents with issues they may face. Most of the time, those case managers catch problems before they're problems, Ciambor said.
And of course, it's housing.
Unlike the downtown shelter and soup kitchen The Glory Hole, which requires residents to have a blood alcohol content of less than 0.1, permanent supportive housing is housing first. Residents wouldn't be required to stop drinking, though they'd be encouraged to. That encouragement tends to be successful, Ciambor said.
The facilities are also sometimes called permanent supported housing, but not, as was written in Part I of this series, permit supportive housing.
For ideas about who a Juneau facility would house, Ciambor looks to the Juneau coalition's vulnerability index, which indicates residents would be older, on the streets for a long time (9 ½ years, on average), have many physical needs, and have mental health problems, he said.
More than half of those surveyed worked officially or under the table, more than half were Alaska Native, and many were veterans.
In order to be designated vulnerable - 40 of the 55 people surveyed were - a person must have a substance addiction, a mental illness, and a major health problem. All three mean a person is three to four times more likely to die on the streets, Ciambor said.
"It's a really traumatized subpopulation (of the homeless). People like the fact that we're an isolated community, but for this population, that's such a detriment. If we don't have the proper style of housing, it doesn't exist, so they're fending for themselves, really," Ciambor said.
Two years ago, Ciambor and representatives from the city and borough of Juneau, Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority, JAMHI, Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority and the Juneau Police Department visited two housing first facilities in Michigan. They found that as residents' health improved, their negative behaviors decreased and they stabilized. They had more time and inclination to work and improve relationships.
Soon after a facility was established in Duluth, Mich., the police stopped driving by twice an hour, as they'd been requested to, Ciambor said. The checks weren't needed.
In another story that stood out to Ciambor, soon after that facility got going, people in the general public started making frantic phone calls, wondering where the homeless had gone. They thought someone had taken the homeless away: In reality, they were housed, and busy.
"Pretty much everybody came back with the feeling we really need to pursue this type of project," Ciambor said.
Ciambor anticipates the facility would include between 25 to 40 units, with staff at the one point of entry, cameras, case managers, and a nurse.
As to where it would go, that could be anywhere with bus access, at this point, though there's general consensus is that it would be best not to have it "in the downtown corridor," Ciambor said.
Seventy-three percent of Juneau's vulnerability index respondents said they'd like to live in a permanent supportive housing facility.
Existing facilities
Anchorage started its Housing First facility, Karluk Manor, in December 2011. At the time, it was controversial.
Two years later, tenants are drinking less, going to the emergency room less, and being picked up by the police less, the Anchorage Daily News (now Alaska Dispatch News) reported in December. At $22,000 per year, per person, they cost the city a little more than a third of what they did on the streets, and Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan is now pushing to expand the project.
Permanent supportive housing isn't a new concept in Juneau; JAMHI has it, as does REACH Inc., Ciambor said. What would be new to Juneau is the population it would serve.
JAMHI considers affordable housing a prerequisite for its clients' recovery.
JAMHI Executive Director Pam Watts said if not for the organization's housing, some of its clients might otherwise be homeless.
"Often people with serious mental illness find themselves homeless," Watts said. "They may or may not have a co-occurring substance use disorder or a cognitive impairment that contributes to their homelessness."
"I view both conditions (chronic inebriation and mental illness) as disabilities," said St. Vincent de Paul director Dan Austin.
Though St. Vincent shelters the homeless in a transitional living facility, the majority of its clients are homeless due to economic circumstances, he said.
Million-dollar Murrays
Juneau has about 25 to 30 "million-dollar Murrays," Ciambor said.
"Million Dollar Murray" is a term that comes from a Malcolm Gladwell essay about homelessness. The essay featured a lovable chronic inebriate named Murray, who did well under supervision, but fell back into unhealthy habits without it, eventually dying.
His recurring treatment and emergency services were estimated to cost more than $1 million over 10 years.
In Juneau, those services also add up.
Ciambor looked at 10 chronically homeless Rainforest Recovery clients in Juneau over the course of two months. In both months, they had a combined 153 Rainforest Recovery and 67 emergency room visits.
The total estimated cost to care for the 10 people for just two months was $155,928.
"It's extremely expensive, and I think the big thing is it's nobody's responsibility," Ciambor said.
"I think we're reaching that critical mass stage where the impact of this relatively small population - you're talking about maybe 25 to 30 individuals who if we could get off the street and into some kind of permanent supportive housing - the impact of getting those 25 people off the street ... for the rest of the community is immense," Austin said. "When you look at the impact that population has on the local business, the impact they have on our tourist industry... and public health costs - it's in everybody's self interest that we get these folks off the street and into some sort of more humane and safer and supervised housing."
Moving forward
The project will likely be funded from a variety of sources - state, city, federal, nonprofit and private.
"The foundation is there and the model is there," Brown said. "I think we need to get support from the city and buy in from agencies and, again, funding, to make this a reality."
One of the main sources of funding likely will be an Alaska Housing Finance Corporation special needs grant. Advocates are waiting to see what the procedure will be this year, Ciambor said.
Other primary sources of funding will likely include grants from the Alaska legislature, Rasmuson Foundation, an Indian Community Development Block Grant, the Juneau Affordable Housing fund, and other sources.
Much of the project funding may need to come from the community, Ciambor said, citing a study which found projects needed around eight funding sources to be completed.
Once it was established, the facility wouldn't be free. Like JAHMI's, it would charge rent on a sliding scale. Many residents would qualify for Native corporation dividends, disability payments, Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements, housing vouchers, Social Security, and, of course, for the Permanent Fund Dividend. More than half also have some kind of job, and employment is something case managers would help them with.
Ciambor declined to give a cost estimate at this point, saying it depends on specifics of the project that haven't yet been decided. Whatever the case, however, it's bound to be cheaper in the long term than not doing anything, he said.
Glory Hole executive director Mariya Lovischuk has said she thinks moving the Glory Hole, which some think may be a solution to some of downtown Juneau's problems, would cost about the same as building permanent supportive housing for Juneau's chronically homeless.
Austin places his faith in Juneau itself.
"We'll get this thing done at the local level," Austin said. "It isn't going to come from HUD, the federal government, the Legislature, an agency in Anchorage. It's going to come from the local people. We'll get our priorities straight."
While Ciambor lists the Rural Alaska Community Action Program (RurAL CAP, which developed Karluk Manor) JAMHI, Rainforest Recovery, and Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority as primary partners, it remains to be seen who will take the lead, he said.
This year's Alaska Coalition on Housing and Homelessness conference will be from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 in Juneau, and will feature guest speakers Sam Tsembaris and Bill Hobson, both experts on supportive housing.
"The working group is really comfortable where we are knowing that this is the solution. This is what is needed," Ciambor said. "It's a matter of (taking) the steps to get there."
