- Another Fabulous Dining ExperiencemakereservationsfordinnerVIPDined on 9/19/2014Every time we visit Ocean City, we have to dine at Jules Restaurant. My boyfriend had the fois gras and the soft shell crabs. He loved both! I started with their blue ice wedge (which is my go to starter). My entree was a special - sesame encusted wahoo..OMG. Outstanding. We tried a 2008 Napa Cabernet, Maldonado. It was a really great Napa Cabernet that we plan to find! The waiter told us "see you next year." And yes he will! If this restaurant was local, I'd be there every week.Special Features:
- Early Bird SpecialsOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/14/2014We saw that if seated before 6, they had an early bird special of 3 courses + 1 glass of wine for $30. Our server brought out fresh baked rolls and soft butter. They were hot and delish! There were 6 appetizers to choose from, and we both selected the local fried oysters which came out crispy and hot. I had the Wedge with bleu cheese, applewood smoked bacon and crispy walnuts. It was wonderful. My husband had the "Hail to Julius Caesar Salad which he enjoyed. We finished with the Fish of the Day which was Amberjack, served with a fruit salsa. We did enjoy our visit. Go for the early bird special because the meal will be much more expensiver after 6 p.m. Amberjack was $29, the appetizers were $15 and salads $10. We will go back (before 6).Special Features:
- Very nice eveningHavnfunDined on 9/13/2014Great food great service loved the fixed price menu. Suggest you keep the bread service and top the meal off with a chocolate or dessert sample for the table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best cosmos ever!princessDined on 9/11/2014Almond joy shrimp with chocolate pasta was incredible. Great food, great service,great bar drinks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ViewPortobello62VIPDined on 9/6/2014The view is so wonderful at sunset that it is hard to concentrate on anything else. The cherry and cheddar salad is amazing and a really nice drink list. The vegetarian option is not so great. I got the standard portobello with something in the middle that was simply okay. I know that a vegetarian request throws many places off so I understand. I do get tired of having a portobello so much while traveling.Special Features:
- Early birdCappyDined on 9/2/2014Great three course meal for $30 if seated before 6:00 PM. Best value in Ocean City!! The coconut shrimp is to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Labor Day WeekendBarbie9Dined on 8/31/2014All tables were not full but the kitchen seemed to have a backup. Our server was not attentive enough; however, the host/server assistant was very energetic and helpful. Our server lacked in communication skills and keeping us updated on our wait time but did apologize when he finally brought the dinners out. Previous experiences at this restaurant have been excellent. A little disappointed this time.Special Features:
- Lucky vacation find.cnoteDined on 8/31/2014Delighted to find this gem close to where we were staying. Pleasant environment, food was superb. Prices on the higher end, but still good value.Special Features:
- Excellent find!!sushiandsakeDined on 8/31/2014We had never heard of Jules. It's located in a strip mall. So, we had no idea what we were in for. Entering, Jules, we were pleasantly suprised buy the beautiful ambiance. The decor was high end and the people very friendly. We ate at the bar, as we do in most restaurants. The service was amazing. The menu was perfect. They had many specials to choose from. All food was made in house. We got the tomato soup, the caprese salad and filet mignon dinner. Everything was so delicious. Overall our experience was perfect. We will be back to Jules and recommend it to all of our friends and family who travel to OC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Menu, so-so serviceEatinoutDined on 8/31/2014Service needs improvement. Scary that food that is meant to be hot was served at room temperature. No offer from server to correct situation when problem was reported.
- DebbVIPDined on 8/30/2014This is the 2nd time this summer the waiter named Johnny has waited on us and when I saw him approaching our table I almost left; I should have.
- Surprisingly wonderful!!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/22/2014I must admit that I was very surprised at this wonderful find. The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the ambiance perfect! Great job !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foods Great but Ambience Isn'tNYFoodieDined on 8/21/2014The food was excellent- from the rolls, salad, steaks,pasta dishes, chicken Marsala - there were no complaints from any of the 9 people at our table. But when you pay prices that seem higher than most Fine Restaraunts in the area(which we don't mind), you deserve to be in a setting that is special. Jules could use a Designer to help with that.Special Features:

- AniversaryEasterDined on 8/16/2014Staff was very attentive. Waiter was knowledgable & suggested alternatives not on the menu. One of the only restaurants serving warm rolls in Ocean City. Meal was delicious! Would definitely return.Special Features:
- Take your vacation to the next lvlpdidVIPDined on 8/8/2014Tucked back in the Food Lion shopping center, Jules easily is one of the hidden gems on Ocean City. My family dined here on Friday using OpenTable (one of the few OC restaurants that are on here). We were seated immediately and service was excellent. We had a mix of martinis and wine throughout the night -- great wine list. The appetizers (pork belly and fries green tomatoes) were unreal and our entrees put all our other meals that we had that week to shame (we had dined at Liquid Assets and Catch 54). DEFINITELY dine here at least once during your OC vacation; we know we are going to make it an annual staple and we are looking forward to our next meal already!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best fine dining in OCGibsonDined on 8/6/2014JJules restau is the best fining dining in Ocean City MD.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent high level diningEMfromPADined on 8/5/2014We go to Jules whenever we're in Ocean City. It serves food at a consistently high level. On this visit. our service was particularly good as our waiter went out of his way to make sure the food met my needs in terms of not having meat ingredients. He came to our table before our entree was served and told me the rice had chicken stock and that I might want to substitute mashed potatoes. Service like that is greatly appreciated. In addition, the early bird is one of the best deals in Ocean City.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/5/2014We love dining at Jules when we visit Ocean City every summer. The wait staff, atmosphere and delicious food keeps us coming back year after year.Special Features:
- DH75Dined on 8/4/2014This was our first trip to Jules and it was great. The food was awesome and the service was great as well. Our water glasses were filled immediately as soon as they were empty and the dishes were removed promptly when we were finished with them. The creme brûlée was to die for. That is my go to dessert and it was the best I have had anywhere. Definitely a must when in OC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousOcean202Dined on 7/30/2014Seven friends all had a great meal at Jules! We were there for the Early Bird and got a glass of wine, appetizer, salad, and entree for$30.00! Everything was delicious and will be back!Special Features:
- Worst customer service I've seenPaul57Dined on 7/19/2014Half empty restaurant at 830 on a Saturday night in Ocean city, friend ordered salad and 2 appetizers for an entree, scallops were cold and she didn't eat, upon asking for bill our waiter noticed and offered to take off bill. Bill came, still on, he said we would take care of and came out with cold scallops in a to go box, Told us owner said they were fine and you were too slow eating and they got cold, too bad for you. Owner then came out raising voice stating they cost him $20 a pound and what could he do with them now. It was the first and only time I was ever accosted in a restaurant in 40 years! Would recommend never going there! It was so uncomfortable for us and the tables around. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO JULES!!!!!!!

- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/4/2014Mu husband and I really enjoyed our dinners. The tomato, corn and crab soup was delicious. Salads were fresh and flavorful. My filet was cooked just right and my husband enjoyed the crab cake.
- Good food, dubious servicedaa2202VIPDined on 6/27/2014First time at Jules. Good (not great) food, surprisingly nice atmosphere in a shopping center location, but with questionable service. Our waiter didn't remember all the specials (which we heard other waiters describing to other tables), ignored empty bread baskets and water glasses, and just generally seemed out of it most of the time. I had the lamb and while it was tasty, I was disappointed with the small portion (4 small chops, about 2 bites each.) My wife had the duck, which was quite good and a much better portion as well. Overall, not a bad place and Ocean City certainly needs more fine dining restaurants for my taste, but they just need to tighten up some details...and hire some qualified servers.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/21/2014excellent food and excellent value for prix fix mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous foodPhillygirl1Dined on 6/21/2014Our night at Jules was outstanding. We had friends in from Philadelphia and wanted to take them to someplace special, it was a great choice. Fried green tomatoes, lamb stew, cream of crab soup for apps. Salads, Filet, chicken Marsala , crab cakes were fantastic, great service and atmosphere. We had a wonderful dining experience. Make reservations, it will be the highlight of your summer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Another outstanding visit.DougSDined on 5/26/2014I have been to Jules several time over the past few years and have NEVER been disappointed. The changing menu guarantees fresh ingredients and Chef Sander's presentations are great. If you appreciate a quiet environment, taste, texture and wine...this is the place for you. Note: there is not a children's menu.Special Features:
- Solid fine dining, but overpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 5/25/2014Quality if good pretty good (not five stars, though). Service excellent. Prices, however , are truly excessive for a small restaurant IN A STRIP MALL IN OCEAN CITY, MD. The word "gouge" came to mind a couple times when looking at the menu. For 20% less I wouldn't have thought twice. What am I paying for? The view? Nay. Not sure I'll be back, solely because of those price points. Otherwise, I was pleased.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Small Bistro in a Shopping CenterTillerVIPDined on 5/25/2014Jules is a small bistro tucked back into a shopping center near 120th Street. We received a friendly greeting at the front door and were seated immediately. We started with a shared foie gras appetizer special and each had a fish dish - salmon and black drum - followed by a shared creme brulee for dessert. Our food was accompanied by a very nice Sullberg Sonoma County Chardonnay which we had never had before. The food and wine were excellent. Service was pretty good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodlorimcDined on 5/24/2014Intimate restaurant with excellent food. One of the few restaurants in Ocean City that rivals the top restaurants in the DC area. While it does not have the scenic water view that many restaurants in this city depend upon for their popularity, Jules more than makes up for that with its carefully chosen menu and wine list. I've had both meat and seafood dishes and both have been equally well prepared. Best to make a reservation if you are dining on a Friday or Saturday.Special Features:
- The Word is OutjanfergDined on 5/24/2014We never had to get reservations to this our fav in OC Last night they only had 6 and 7:45 left We dicided on 6 and this place was jumping Not only did they five waiters they also had two bus boys and a friendly hostes Great service Food never disappoints Sorry for us the word is outSpecial Features:
- BonsoVIPDined on 5/23/2014Enjoyed the food but this was the most I ever paid for two softcrabs. Really wanted them and they were good but I won't do it again. It is always way too expensive her at Jules. There is equally good food in OC for less ....
- Loved the Foodtime2dineDined on 5/18/2014I always enjoy dinner at Jules when we come to Ocean City. It makes up in presentation and taste what it lacks in size and location to the water. It is great for friends getting together 'down the ocean' for great food and conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Welcome The hooplah that surrounds the release of a new Apple product is enough to make many otherwise calm and balanced adults froth and jigger. That some froth with excited happiness and others with outraged contempt is almost irrelevant, it is the intensity of the response that is so fascinating. For the angry frothers all are fair game for their fury – the newspapers, the blogosphere, the BBC and most certainly people like me for acting, in their eyes, as slavish Apple PR operatives. Why should these iPads and iPhones be front page news when, the frothers froth, there are plenty of other manufacturers out there making products that are as good, if not better, for less money? And isn't there something creepy about Apple's cultiness and the closed ecosystem of their apps and stores? The anti-Applers see pretension and folly everywhere and they want the world to know it. The enthusiastic frothers don't really mind, they just want to get their hands on what they perceive as hugely desirable objects that make them happy. The two sides will never agree, the whole thing has become an ideological stand-off: the anti-Apple side has too much pride invested in their point of view to be able to unbend, while Apple lovers have too much money invested in their toys to back down. It is an absorbing phenomenon and one which seems to get hotter every week.
I almost always go out with an iPhone in one pocket, a BlackBerry in another and an Android device in a third. But then I am peculiar. If I had to keep only one, yes, I confess I would choose the iPhone, but I could cope happily if I were left with just a BlackBerry Bold or an HTC Desire. At least so I would have said until last week when Apple gave me an iPhone 4 to play with. For just as the frenzy of iPad launch has subsided (3 million sold in 8 weeks) it is now time for Apple haters to have a new device waved in their angry faces and time for Apple lovers to get verbally bitch-slapped for falling once more for Steve Jobs's huckstering blandishments. iPhone 4 is here. It is only a year since many will have taken advantage of incentives to upgrade from iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS and their deals may still be active, denying them the chance to leap to the newest phone without eye-watering financial penalties. Much as 3GS was released simultaneously with OS 3.0, so iPhone 4 arrives with iOS (as all Apple mobile device operating systems will now be designated) 4.0, which will be able to bring some, but not all of its new functions and features to older phones (but not the iPhone 2G). The phone will be available unlocked here in the United Kingdom, so your existing SIM (so long as it is cut down to the new mini-SIM shape) will work without having to jailbreak and unlock.
iPhone 4 is an object of rare beauty (even when badly photographed using an iPhone 3GS). Noticeably slimmer but a trifle heavier than predecessors, its new heft only adds to the profound feeling of quality and precision that the device exudes. Sharper edged, it is girt by a stainless steel band which cleverly houses all the antennas required by a modern smartphone. Jobs himself made a comparison between iPhone 4 and a classic Leica. With this device in my hand I feel that I am holding its designer Jonathan Ive's personal prototype, hand-machined as a proof-of-concept model. Ive is surely one of the most influential and gifted designers Britain has ever produced and iPhone 4 may well be his masterpiece.
Apple have produced, and third parties will doubtless emulate and improve, rubberised wrap-around belts called Bumpers that easily slip round the edges of the handset affording what will probably be regarded as much needed protection. They come in all kinds of colours and give the device great resilience (I saw an Apple executive gleefully hurling his bumpered iPhone 4 across the room). Bumpers may diminish the perfect lines of the profile, but it's a compromise many will make, as the sharp edges are bound to make one a little nervous about chipping and denting.

About the DEARC
A collaborative and multidisciplinary research venture to understand the functional and neural effects of alcohol exposure throughout brain development – including the key developmental transitions of adolescence
- to understand mechanisms by which alcohol affects the developing brain and the developing brain affects the response to alcohol, and
- to use this knowledge as a platform for generating novel intervention/prevention strategies
Key Themes:
- early ethanol exposure profoundly impacts the developing nervous system through both structural and functional neuroadaptations;
- ethanol-induced effects (both acute and lasting) depend upon the developmental stage of the organism, with a particular focus on two key times when the developing brain is particularly likely to be exposed to alcohol – via maternal use during the fetal period, and through voluntary drinking in adolescence;
- alcohol exposure during more than one developmental phase or when combined with other adverse developmental experiences has particularly pronounced consequences, altering developmental trajectories through multiple routes and developmentally programming later responsiveness to alcohol to promote an increased propensity for later alcohol use and abuse;
- characterizing factors influencing and mechanisms underlying developmental consequences of alcohol are critical for developing new intervention/prevention strategies.

New Job Posting For Fingerprint Sensor Tech Points To iPhone 6, Not 5SPosted by Michael Nace under iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 Opinion on Saturday Apr 13, 2013
A new Apple job posting suggests that Cupertino is beginning to work with fingerprint scanner technology, heavily rumored for the iPhone 5S. But if Apple is
hiring techs for this technology now, it's more likely that biometric technology will arrive on next year's iPhone 6 instead.
The reading of the Apple tea leaves is part intrigue, part insanity. Every year, we engage in the pastime of scrutinizing Apple marketing collateral, job postings, and quirks on the apple.com website as indicators of future Apple events. It's not entirely our fault; the Steve Jobs era of Apple did plenty to instill this fervor. But it's now a much more sober company under the direction of Tim Cook — yet we as a rumor mill still continue analyze patents, job postings, and innuendo, and imagine that they prognosticate the short-term future of Apple products like the iPhone.
Silly us.
This past week, we had another one of those Apple job postings that has the rumor mill alight, with the media pointing to it as proof positive that the iPhone 5S will have a fingerprint scanner. But given what we know already about the iPhone 5S — and the way Apple does things — does the job posting actually make more sense in suggesting fingerprint scanner tech for the iPhone 6 in 2014 instead?

January 2003
By Katherine Nolan
Advertisers have been quick to capitalize on psychological research into the effects of color on our emotions and perceptions. The ads we watch use this knowledge to evoke feelings or memories that make us want the goods on display, but it is not only in advertising that colors are chosen to have a subconscious effect on the viewer.
Research has, for instance, led many employers to use a green color scheme in the workplace, as there is evidence to suggest that this results in less absenteeism through illness. At the University of Iowa, Hawkeye Coach Hayden Fry had the locker room used by visiting teams painted pink, on the basis of research that showed pink surroundings have the effect of reducing aggression!
Whether or not we—or indeed they—are aware of it, visitors to our Web sites, too, will make assumptions about the nature, quality, reliability, and value of our products or services as a result of the colors we use.
There are no "good" or "bad" colors. All colors have positive and negative effects depending on context, and evoke responses tempered by the experience of those viewing them. Some of the more common Western cultural responses to colors are outlined in the table below.
None of this is clear-cut. Because colors are capable of so much variation, making absolute statements about meaning is impossible. However, understanding some important concepts about color will help us appreciate how varying a color, and combining it with others, can affect its impact. Let's take a look.
Hue determines the basic color—whether it appears green, red, blue, orange, and so forth.
Figure 1: Hue determines basic color.
A color's hue has a strong effect on how it is perceived. A color from the center of the red part of the spectrum will be perceived as more threatening, or perhaps more passionate, than one that is closer to orange; while red with a pinkish hue is a calmer color.
Saturation refers to the amount of grey in a color, and determines how vivid it is.
Figure 2: Saturation refers to the amount of grey in a color.
As a general rule, women tend to prefer less saturated colors, and men more saturated ones.
Luminosity refers to the whiteness or intensity of a color; luminosity for any one color will range from pure white though to black.
Figure 3: Luminosity refers to the whiteness or intensity of a color.
Using the same color at varying degrees of luminance in a site's palette results in a harmonious color scheme. In general, colors with more luminance feel lighter, while those toward the dark end of the scale are more "serious" colors.
With the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Web site creation and management tool, you can vary each of these color properties independently to better control the psychological impact of your site.
Those of us who do not have an art background can find it difficult to combine colors into evocative or meaningful color schemes. One useful tip is to visit sites that display the work of artists, who tend to be particularly good at using colors to create a mood. Examining how artists use color can be very instructive. Looking at artists' sites and thinking about the messages their colors send will also develop your eye for color and your ability to choose effective combinations.
Once you have chosen some basic colors, the way colors are arranged on the FrontPage 2002 Color Palette makes creating harmonious color schemes easier. By following a line of colors either diagonally or horizontally, you can create a palette of colors that work well together and from which you can choose.
Figure 4: Bands of color as they appear in the FrontPage Color Palette.
Take a look at the simple site layout below, shown in three different color combinations, and use the questions to determine your response to each. Obviously, in this case, you have nothing other than color to guide you, so pay attention to your first impressions!
Figures 5, 6, and 7: First impressions are often made based on the color scheme.
Different people may very well have different responses to each of these questions. Response to color is cultural and is affected by our experience of color in our daily lives. Yellow, for most of us, has generally cheerful overtones, but it may remind a medical audience of jaundice!
People who live in warm climates consistently prefer bright strong colors; those in colder parts of the world prefer cooler, more washed out colors. This can change with context. While thinking about a vacation, for instance, a person living in a cold climate may be attracted by warmer colors than they would be when choosing home furnishings.
Some of the effects of color, however, are universal, or at least widespread. Let's look again at each of the examples above and see how a simple change in color alone can alter the image of a site.
Some color combinations appeal to one segment of the market pretty much exclusively. For example, the unsaturated palette used in our first example is generally perceived as being a feminine one—suited to a site selling beauty products, but not, perhaps, to one selling men's clothing. A version using similar but more saturated colors results in a look that will be broader in its appeal.
Figure 8: Increasing saturation can widen a palette's appeal.
The combination of strong, highly saturated shades of brown, orange, and yellow in the second example tends to accentuate the negative aspects of each—cheap, brash, pushy. By using less intense colors the balance is tipped to a warmer, friendlier appearance that also projects a more high-quality image.
Figure 9: Reducing saturation can have a warming effect.
Blues in combination are known to project a businesslike and authoritative feel, so it's no accident that blue, in various hues, is ubiquitous on big business sites. However, used alone, albeit in various shades, blue can appear cold, conservative, and unapproachable. The addition of red and yellow brings warmth and dynamism to this color scheme.
Figure 10: Adding red and yellow add warmth to blue.
The first time you see your site on a computer other than your own can be a bit of a shock. Such is the variation out there of platform, browser, screen type, size, resolution, available colors, and user preference settings that your site will look a little different to just about everyone who views it. This is not a problem, however. The problems arise only if it looks so different to some groups of users that it is rendered non-functional.
We are often told that it is safest when creating Web sites to stick to the 256 colors in the Web-safe color palette. This may have been true when the majority of users could see no colors other than these, but according to recent W3Schools statistics, only about 3 percent of users are now so restricted. Frankly, they must see a pretty dull Internet! I don't believe that you need to restrict yourself to that palette, but before you publish your site, change your system display settings to view it at various color depths to satisfy yourself that it remains usable.
About 8 percent of men and fewer women have some form of color blindness—most commonly a difficulty in perceiving red and green—and some color combinations can render a site practically unusable by those with color-deficient vision.
If you look at the FrontPage Color Palette as seen by someone with deuteranopia, the most common form of color blindness, you will see how it affects the perception of colors. You can see that choosing a palette entirely from the red/green areas of the palette is going to present problems for some people.
Figure 11: The Color Palette as it appears to people with deuteranopia, a common form of color blindness.
If you would like to see how your site looks to a user with low color vision or color blindness, you can visit Vischeck, a site that simulates color-blind vision for Web designers.
Take a critical look at your site. What messages are the colors sending? A well-chosen color scheme can project a sense of reliability and trustworthiness that reassures users of your Web site about buying from or working with you. A poorly conceived choice of colors may send them scurrying off to your competitors. Maybe it is time to reconsider the colors you've used on your Web site.

A "life estate" is an estate planning tool that involves a legal arrangement where a land owner gives the ultimate ownership ("future interest") of their land, retaining the right to use and income from the land for the remainder of their life.

Nashville Relief Effort Posters & Gear Up For Grabs
We talked a little earlier this week about the flooding that's hit Nashville and the residents in surrounding areas. Local artists have donated their time and resources in making art prints and t-shirts whose proceeds are all being donated to relief efforts. There's some good lookin' prints, so see if there's anything your home could use and help out a good cause.
Below are several of the prints from different artists that have put their mad skillz (the "z" lets you know how awesome they are!) to use for a great cause. There's also 1 t-shirt design below and although it's not exactly home decor, you'd look pretty great sitting on your sofa while wearing it. That's interior design right?
First Row, Left To Right
• Love Your Neighbor: from Ty Mattson. It's only $10 and comes in a 12x18" size. It's perfect for any home, no matter where you live. Proceeds will be going to the Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund.
• You Can't Keep A Good Town Down : Every last cent from the sale of these posters will be going to the Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund. They're 18"x24" and will run you $20 from from Family Tree Design and Wed Candy.
• REBUILD THIS CITY! Print: from Andrew Vastagh at Boss Construction. Each print is only $10 and funds will go directly to Hands on Nashville.
• Lift Up Nashville Poster: is available in 2 sizes from Phillip Maddox. You can take it home in an 18"x24" for $40 or a 12"x18" for $10. Proceeds go to the Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund.
• Eye In The Sky Print: from Sasha Barr at The New Year. Each print is 16.5" x 24" and all of the $20 price tag will be going to the Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund.
Second Row, Left To Right
• Lift Up Nashville: from Derrick Castle. Each print is 12"x18" and all proceeds from the $10 sale price will go directly to the Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund.

Thank you very much for bringing attention to our amazing city in this time of need. There is much to do and every little bit helps!
Ty Mattson's designs are also being used here on soft goods/tees with 100% proceeds to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. http://www.cafepress.com/ModFruGal Thanks for highlighting the great art supporting our city.
Thank you Sarah and AT. Now y'all AT devotees out there, buy this stuff! And then come to Nashville for a visit; the downtown honkeytonks are open and waiting for you!
I want to get 2nd row left but the link takes me to 1st row 2nd from right. Can you help?
It should be mentioned that the artist on the REBUILD THIS CITY! print is Sam Smith (http://samsmyth.net/). Please buy and help our beloved city!
Charlotte...Lift Up Nashville has all their posters on one page so just click on the other poster from them. Or go to: http://liftupnashville.com/
Just bought two! Will look great in the boys' room.
Would love to see more posts like this AT - art and design purchases that benefit charities/relief efforts!!
i've always LOVED Nashville and the "batman building" and will definitely be getting poster #3!
Thanks ModFrugal! Charlotte, they're all on one page for easy access!
thank you for this post! It's overwhelming, looking around at our city, and thinking about the recovery. Right now yards are filled with wet and damaged materials that people are clearing from their homes. It's heart-breaking to see how much was lost.
On Monday I believe a poster will be announced that was a collaboration between Hatch Show Print and Griffin Technology. I've been told they will be sold through coolpeoplecare.com
Should be really cool! Everything that Hatch does is, afterall!! :)
Also, thanks for sharing this post. We're here living amongst it, and sometimes our problems feel isolated when it comes to the rest of the world. I know we all appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers and help.
Thanks Lori! We checked Hatch Show before publishing this post, so it's good to know that there's one in the works, can't wait!
Also, Anderson Design Group, which puts out the amazing "Spirit of Nashville" series has come out with two designs as well. I'll definitely be picking up a few of these.
It hurts my heart to see all the damage and total loss of homes in our town. Thanks for taking the time to post!

Another NewItalianRecipes.com Original Gourmet Recipe by Professional Chef Dave - Enjoy!
This unique Cioppino recipe, (Italian fish soup/stew) comes with an interesting twist. Maybe you've had Italian fish stew in your favorite Italian restaurant, maybe on vacation somewhere on a pier overlooking the sea. Chef Dave's first really "killer" version was ravished in a bistro on the Monterrey, California Fisherman's Wharf. Tried it again years later in the same restaurant, but you know how it goes, not even close to the first time. A shame. However, you and I can enjoy the recipe detailed here and it is every bit as good as my first awesome experience on that beautiful, Monterrey evening.
Did I mention that Chef Dave is particularly fond of Cioppino, whether it's called by its Italian name or just fisherman's stew? This well-researched creation of Chef Dave's just might conjure up some really nice imaginings for you at home. In fact, imagine yourself with that wonderful sea salt smell in the air, a couple of sea lions barking in the background, a cuddly sea otter floating on its back cracking an abalone with its personal rock, and you just might have a wonderful west coast or even a Mediterranean experience on your own lanai. So, go for it.
New Italian Recipes Presents: Cioppino (with homemade tomato sauce and fresh Italian seafood)
Italian fish soup/stew can be made with the shell fish served in the shell, or with the shells removed. Though some diners prefer not to have to muss their hands in eating soup, the shells do add to the overall flavor of any fish soup recipe and allow for a more appealing and realistic presentation.
Ingredients: 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 6-8 canned or bottled oil cured anchovies, diced (optional if you hate anchovies, but you really can't taste them in the finished product. They do add a nice layer of flavor.) 4-6 cloves garlic, sliced thinly 2 bay leafs 1/2 cup diced celery 1 medium to large onion, diced 1 roasted red bell pepper, diced 1 cup red wine 3 T red wine vinegar 1 quart homemade fish or shrimp soup stock Shrimp Stock (chicken stock and/or clam or Clamato juice can be substituted) 2 cups or more, (depending on how thick and how tomatoey you like it) homemade tomato sauce or a 28 oz can diced tomatoes 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped or 2-3 T dried (add to seasoning mix if dried) Dash or two of Tabasco Sauce 2 T Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup fresh Italian Parsley 2-3 T fresh lemon juice
Seasoning Mix: (use your herb-designated coffee grinder or your Magic Bullet) 1 T salt 1 T black or mixed whole pepper 2 T dried oregano 1 T fennel seeds 1 T fresh or dried rosemary leaves
Seafood: Just about everything works in Cioppino and Italian fish Stew or Soup recipes, but here are our recommendations: 1/2 lb. medium shrimp (save shells for making seafood stock) 1/2 lb. scallops 24 fresh mussels 1 lb. firm white fish, chopped in 1 inch pieces (cod, catfish, halibut, orange roughy, etc.) 16 fresh clams (optional) (Fresh or canned oysters can be added if you like them)
Fresh bread of your choice, garlic baked if desired, and lots of it. (The juice is incredible)
Prepare the Cioppino: Heat olive oil to medium and add anchovies. Add garlic after about 3 minutes (this mixture should smell fabulous by now, might even bring a whole slew of hungry family members a-runnin').
Add bay leafs, onions, celery and bell pepper plus 1/2 of the seasoning mix. Sauté for 6-8 minutes.
Add wine, vinegar, Tabasco and Worcestershire and reduce by 1/2, then add tomato sauce, basil and the rest of the seasoning mix. Simmer about 5 minutes then add the lemon juice.
Add the fish and shellfish, cover and cook about 7 more minutes. Remove any of the mussels and clams that don't open.
Sprinkle the completed Italian fish stew with parsley. Serve with fresh, Italian bread. (Butter it up and garlic it if you really want a taste treat!)
This recipe serves four easily (unless one of them is Chef Dave).
For a Unique variation, serve in a large bowl with a layer of cooked spaghetti-type pasta on the bottom. YUM!

Pre-alpha screenshots:
- Copy the files from the Minecraft folder to the minecraft.jar
- Delete the '/meta_inf' folder in your minecraft.jar
- Copy the '/shader' folder to your '/bin' folder
(If there is no '/shader' folder in your '/bin' folder create one; or simply drag the whole '/shader' folder to your '/bin' folder.)
A config file is found in the shader folder. It can be used to change parameters such as:
- Visual: water color, waterfall color
- Performance: there are a settings for disabling parts of the reflections and to decrease the reflection resolution
- To disable water effects use 'water_mode 0′
Incompatible graphic chips
- ATI X1200 or lower
- Graphic cards without GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support
- Graphic cards without GL_ARB_shader_objects, GL_ARB_vertex_shader and GL_ARB_fragment_shader support
- Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family (or lower; will in some cases result in the invisible world bug)
Execution problems and possible solutions:
Minecraft runs out of memory
Solution: change these two settings in your config.txt
anti_aliasing 1
reflection_resolution 2
An exception with: 'cfgGrassFix'
Possible solution (no guarantee): use the modloader version when having modloader installed
Java.lang.SecurityException: SHA1 digest error for px.class
Solution: delete the '/meta_inf' folder in your minecraft.jar
Fast flickering in the water
Solution: disable advanced opengl in your video settings menu
Black texture borders:
I had this problem too and i have seemed to of figured it out. It seemed to be caused because of a conflict between optifine and the water shader so I ended up doing this to fix it
1. patch a clean jar with mcpatcher only selecting HD textures and HD Font
2. Put all the files from optifine into the jar except for "aar.class" and "ni.class" (these 2 classes seem to be the classes that regulate hd textures and font so we want to keep the ones from mcpatcher)
3. install water shader as normal (shader folder in the bin class files in minecraft folder in the jar)
This should get rid of the messed up textures on the items you hold when using a texture pack with both optifine and water shader
Changelog alpha 5:
- Modified 4f surface effects
- Option to disable them
Version 5b
Version 5b for modloader (requires a modloader installation)

Most people would do anything to stay away from the malls during the mad-rush of the holidays. This is evidenced by the huge success of Amazon.com, cyber-Monday, and the advent of e-gift cards. E-gift cards are entirely digital currency that is purchased online and sent to the recipient's e-mail. In 2011, a whole slew of stores started to offer e-gift cards, but in 2012, their popularity among retailers panned.
Sound Bite, Janna Herron
"I think one of the reasons that retailers are slowing down in adopting e-gift cards is that they are just kind of feeling out what technology is coming next. There's been a lot of talk about mobile wallets and so retailers are looking into the mobile wallets along with the e-gift cards. And they don't want to just put everything out there and one of the technologies doesn't last."
Those that do offer the cards are homing in on a significant demographic, last-minute shoppers. The cards let gift-givers do their shopping on Christmas Eve and the recipient is none-the wiser. On Christmas morning, an e-mail is waiting in the giftee's inbox, as good as under the tree. The giver can even publicize their good will on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. E-gift cards are especially good for the consumer because they are purchased for a particular store, such as Best Buy, Target, or the Home Depot. These "closed loop" cards are better than their counterparts issued by credit card companies because store-branded cards tend to have fewer fees.
"Our survey found that all the general purpose gift cards, those with the American Express or Visa logos on them come with a purchase fee. So, that means that if you buy a gift card that's 25 dollars of value, you'd pay the 25 dollars plus anywhere between 3 to 6 dollars on top of that to buy the gift card. Whereas the store branded gift cards, most of them don't come with a purchase fee."
Some retailers are testing the waters with apps that let you check your gift cards balance, but still haven't committed to offering e-gift cards. There is also a host of apps that do everything from store and track your gift-card balances, sync your credit cards to your phone and send gift cards using e-mail, text or social media. To see all the latest trends and innovation, just check out the Credit Cards channel on Bankrate.com. I'm Lucas Wysocki.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by RioBravo Delivered as advertised I run an average of 15 miles a week and are usually attracted to new shoes that will also look great for casual wear. These shoes immediately caught my eye for their unusual but stylish design. Bought the blue and immediately felt satisfied on first impression. Very comfortable on the feet. Took it for a run immediately and was very impressed with the excellent support, comfort, and traction. Fell in love with them. Ended up buying two more pairs (black and gray). Never in my life have I ever bought three pairs of the same model in different colors from any brand. Good job, Reebok! You made a big fan out of me. 3/3/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ExtremeWorkout Comfortable, Functional & Performance I was a little skeptical about Reebok's approach to this shoe when I first heard about the likeness to the Z-rated tire. That skepticism quickly disappeared when I strapped them on and took them for a test drive. The shoes are extremely comfortable and they truly do grip the road and contour to your foot. I was surprised and pleased that the concept actually worked. These shoes perform well and I really enjoy them on runs in the 3-7 mile distance range. I wasn't able to give it 5 stars due to the fact that I haven't had a long distance run in them and can't vouch for how they feel in longer distances. I highly recommend this shoe! 2/18/14
Rated 2 out of 5Â by kurtthomashunt Follow-up Review I've owned these shoes for a few months ow and felt a follow-up review was warranted. While the shoes look sharp and met expectations with comfort and durability, I have to share one major gripe: the tread. The bottoms of these shoes shift with the contours of the landscape like tires. I can't really tell the difference between these and other shoes now that I've put a few hundred miles on them. What they do do, however, is bite onto every little stone, twig, and piece of mulch you cross paths with. That in turn can screw up your footing, make it sound like you're wearing tap shoes, scuff up your floor, and litter your carpet with outside debris. Step on a piece of gum and it is the end of the line. While I'll continue to wear the shoe, I know for a fact I'll avoid a future purpose based on this. 5/26/14
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Nasser Good shoes, but the back of it hurts my feet The shoes is good, but the the back of the shoes hurts tge feet 9/9/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KovasP Lightweight, comfortable, supportive, cushioning Lightweight, comfortable, surprisingly supportive and cushioning. Overall, I'd say that Reebok has a winner on their hands: beautiful looks, a design that works as intended, with comfort and support making these a complete package. 2/18/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SpiritOf12 Simply amazing all round. I run sprints in track and use spikes, but I need something to practice in, and this shoe is perfect! As soon as I put these shoes on and took my first steps, I fell in love and felt like a beast! Very comfortable, and they look pretty beast if you ask me. 2/14/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Thatdude25 New favorite shoes I first heard of these shoes from the commercial that aired on TV. The style definitely caught my eye and I was in need of new running shoes. I checked the reviews out first and was pleasantly surprised to find how high the ratings were! I purchased one online (the red/navy one) and was astounded by how comfortable they are! I have wide feet but these fit them very well. My favorite feature is probably how the tongue is made. It's not made like most shoes, the tongue is actually attached to the shoes, so it won't slip sideways while you run. I will probably buy the same pair (in the gray color) when I need a new pair of running shoes.. 3/25/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by PavementRunner A runner's agility shoe I run anywhere from 20-60 miles per week and prefer to save the wear and tear on my running shoes for long-distances on the road. This shoe will work great when I'm adding in some more cross training to my routine. The first thing I noticed was how light they felt and I instantly wanted to take them to the track to see what they could do. This week I'll also use them on some agility workouts and put the "high-performance" to the test. My initial reaction after wearing them a few times is that they are built for quick speed workouts and cross training. 2/18/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Kevinhouston True to size I am using the new ZQuick for my primary workout shoe. I have done 4 quad and hamstring workouts and very happy with the support and stability of the ZQuick.. I ordered this shoe online with out trying it on and was happily surprised that it was true to size. It seems like there is a bit more room in the toe area compared to my other sneaks. So far I love my new ZQuick and would recommend this sneak to anyone. 4/20/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ImgurRunner Shoeless feel Lightest running shoes I have ever worn. Nanoweb really secures your feet and the sole really grips the ground, those cuts in the sole really makes it flexible and agile, comparing to my reebok cushrun smoothflex, though this shoe took a longer time to break in, back of my ankles were "blistered" after my first run, though the following runs felt better but still the sack lining thingy still feels stiff. But not a big problem, My feet and legs didn't hurt after running, looking forward to run more wih this. 4/7/14

clean energy source is at the center of a new utopia, but it will
take decades before hydrogen is consolidated as a true energy alternative.
CARACAS - An oil crisis is just around the
corner, warn an ever-increasing number of experts. According to
British researcher Colin Campbell, member of the Oil Depletion Analysis
Center, the entire planet has been explored to the core and we should
be assured that there are no major oil fields to be discovered,
an assessment shared by many other specialized organizations, including
the U.S. Geological Survey.
Meanwhile, demand keeps growing (our civilization continues to be
addicted to fossil fuel consumption) to the degree that if China
and India, for example, expand their economies as they aim to, achieving
the same per capita energy consumption as South Korea, according
to Fortune magazine they would need 119 million barrels of oil a
day, that is, nearly 50 percent more than the world daily consumption
(indigestion?) today.
Hydrogen could appear as an alternative, say experts, given that
the forecasts related to natural gas are the same as they are for
petroleum. There are already important advances in hydrogen technology
(they say an equivalent to 10 percent of petroleum output is produced
this way), and possesses undoubted advantages over petroleum and
other energy sources.
It is a clean resource from the environmental point of view, because
it represents the final step in the process of "decarbonization"
(from wood to gas, passing through coal and petroleum), because
it is energy without carbon, the contaminating element par excellence.
Hydrogen is practically inexhaustible and is distributed equally
around the planet, which means its use could be more democratic,
unlike, say those in the know, the situation of petroleum concentration.
An economy based on hydrogen would produce deep changes in global
organization, according to forecasts, because it would make possible
a redistribution of power and greater equality worldwide.
Thus is announced the possibility of a new and improved society,
thanks to hydrogen. It is, once again, the social utopia from the
side of technological determinism, in other words, with disregard
for the social relations of dominance.
Hydrogen forms part of the U.S. argument against the 1997 Kyoto
Protocol, a treaty that aims to confront the serious consequences
of climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions: the emergence of new
viruses and diseases, increased desertification, freshwater shortages,
rising sea levels. Needless to say, the production and consumption
of petroleum weigh heavily in this problem.
Eleven years after being proposed, the Protocol cannot be enacted
because of the reticence of the United States.
Not long after taking office, President George W. Bush said crassly
that the United States would not sign an agreement that conspired
against the growth of the country's gross domestic product. However,
his position is now more refined. On the one hand he plays down
the dangers inherent in global warming as well as the need to take
urgent measures. On the other he wields the alternative of an energy
source based on hydrogen. So why sign a treaty so damaging to U.S.
If the majority of the scientific community is correct about the
seriousness of the environmental imbalances and we are in a race
against time, it is worth wondering, given the 15 to 20 years it
will take to consolidate hydrogen as an energy option, what will
be the consequences of ignoring the matter and not signing the Kyoto
Protocol? Many fear they will be very severe and likely irreversible.

CLUG Notes May 4, 2006
Attendees: Amy Shigley, Anthony Lewis, Brandon Zimmerman, David Wilkinson, David Winney, Elmo Hunter, Gisela Dicklin, Jessica Wallace, Judy Forth, Julie Jackson, Mike Yocom, Misty Cline, Paul Bladek
Sandbox Progress – What is it?
- The sandbox is a network space will be used by some CIS, CPMSC, and CEN classes to give students a chance to experience real world technology activities that are too high risk to be done on the ACS or Admin networks. Only certain labs will access this space.
- Mustafa Rashid has taken the lead on the project
- Mustafa will spend this quarter gathering information to create a formal proposal
- Beth Nichols is looking for grant funding
Domain Bridge – What is it and what does it mean to you?
- E-mail to come out shortly from Kevin McKay: In 2004, in response to new Washington State Department of Information Services (DIS) statewide audit requirements, Edmonds Community College put together a multi-year IT Strategic Plan. That plan is now almost complete, with the last step being a reconfiguration of the two network domains (academic and administrative). Because information/resources on the administrative domain has different security requirements than resources located on the Academic domain, they needed to be separated from each other and configured differently than before. IT has taken extra time on this last piece of the IT Strategic Plan in order to roll these changes out in a way that minimized impact to faculty. We are now ready to "flip the switch" on this configuration change, and are scheduling it to take place during the break between summer and fall quarters, 2006.
- How does this impact you? If you only ever log onto the R230_admin domain: You will notice no difference. These changes do not impact you.
- If you log onto both the ACS and R230_admin domains (if you have/use both an ACS and an R230 account): When teaching in a Mediated Classroom (a regular classroom that has only one computer that is for use by the instructor) you will only be able to log onto the R230_admin domain. When teaching in the computer labs, you will still be able to log onto both the ACS and R230_admin domains, but access to resources on the R230_admin domain will be limited. When logged on to the R230 domain in the computer labs, you will need to use Citrix in order to access the U drive, R drive, the "My Documents" folder that you access in your office, or to print in the computer labs.
- A major long term benefit we will eventually see from sharing resources is the elimination of the need for two separate accounts for people who log onto both the Administrative and Academic domains. We are still working to realize this benefit, but we are getting closer.
- Ongoing training in the use of Citrix will be available, and drop-in one-on-one support is available through the TRC (Lynnwood 207). If you have questions or feel you have a unique need that this change will impact, please contact the Help Desk (email@example.com or x1234) and we will have an IT staff member respond to your questions or concerns.
New MS Office and MS Windows due out in 2007 – What are impacts?
- We will be discussing these products at all upcoming CLUG meetings until the products have actually been rolled out to campus
- MS Vista (new MS Windows) to be released late this year or early next year
- Many of the existing computers supported by ACS do not meet the hardware requirements to run MS Vista. All computers purchased from now on will be able to run MS Vista. (The recently purchased computers for the ESL lab in SNO 119 will run MS Vista.)
- When might MS Vista be needed for classes?
- MS Office 2007 should be released in the second half of 2007
- Video of new user interface available at: http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/ui/demo.mspx.
- When might MS Office 2007 be needed for classes?
- The actual roll out date of MS Vista and MS Office 2007 to the labs depends on several
- The actual release date of the product - The release dates always do seem to change.
- When instructors would like to start using the new products and when publishers make instructional material available - Many companies and institutions do wait a period of time before adopting the new products. There is risk associated with moving to the products before they're been thoroughly tested. The EdCC IT division usually ends up being guinea pigs.
- When the big quarter breaks fall - Due to the complexity and testing (both by ACS and faculty) involved in moving to a new operating system, we need to move to the new version of Windows during the break between summer and fall quarter if at all possible. The roll out of a new version of Office is slightly less complicated, so we could roll it out during the break between summer and fall or the break between fall and winter if necessary.
EdCC-provided Student e-mail
- Very few students use this, primarily BSTEC students who use this for class
- In BSTEC classes, do students need to use EdCC-provided e-mail to send e-mail outside of the ACS network? Outside of the campus?
ACS one-week service outage 8/21 – 8/25
- • This will be during the break between summer and fall quarters when we normally don't provide services.
- We will be doing work in our server room and will be taking all servers off-line at one time or another.
Turning Off Computers and Projectors in Snohomish
- Please encourage students to turn of computers and please turn off the projectors in Snohomish Hall after class, especially if there is no class in the room for a few hours. This will help keep the temperature under control in those rooms and make it more bearable for classes later in the day.
Locking Doors, Closing Windows – Theft
- Please lock and shut doors and close windows when leaving labs in Snohomish Hall if there is no class immediately after your class ends.
- We have experienced theft in that building. We have also received reports that someone is targeting labs and stealing RAM. (We've had RAM and hard drives stolen out of machines in other places. It can be done in a matter of minutes.)
- If you forget your EdPass, you can give Security a call and they can lock the door for you.
Closure on 5/5 for Building Community Day
- ACS will be closed on Friday, May 5th for the non-instructional day and Building Community Day.
- As part of Building Community Day, the EdCC Game Developers Club will be hosting a LAN event from 1:00 PM to about 4:30 PM in ALD 103. We are all invited to attend. They will be playing Counter-Strike, Castle Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, and several other games.

Angola is a country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Namibia in the south, Zambia in the east and the Republic of Congo, as well as the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the north. The country is rich in natural resources: It has large reserves of oil and diamonds, hydroelectric potential, and rich agricultural land. Despite this, Angola remains a very poor country, having been ravaged by a bloody civil war after their independence from Portugal, from 1975 to 2002. Angola was a Portuguese overseas territory from the 16th century. The country is the second-largest petroleum and diamond producer in sub-Saharan Africa; however, life expectancy and infant mortality rates are among the worst in the world. In August 2006, a peace treaty was signed with a faction of the FLEC, a separatist guerrilla group from the Cabinda exclave in the North, which is still active. About 65% of Angola's oil comes from that region. (info via wikipedia.org)

As a young child growing up in Houston, Deacon Gary Picou had a dream. "I wanted to be an astronaut. That was my goal," he said. However, when the young man took the physical, he learned he was color blind. "My dream of being an astronaut kind of died," said Dcn. Picou, soon to be ordained a priest for the Diocese of Fort Worth. But in one of many references to the mystery of God, the deacon noted the color blindness may have been one of ways God works, and a demonstration of his sense of humor and providence.
LOURDES, France (CNS) -- It looked like any other military parade with bands playing, flags waving and thousands of men and women marching in colorful uniforms decorated with medals and ribbons.
The life of a man can change forever once he decides to follow Jesus Christ and devote his time on earth to serving the Church. In the Diocese of Fort Worth, on average it requires a nine-year commitment, including four years of undergraduate work, four years of masters-level theological studies, and a one-year internship at a parish. In addition, seminarians are expected to be fluent in at least two languages — English and Spanish.
Now in his second year at the University of St. Thomas School of Theology at St. Mary's Seminary in Houston, Stephen Hauck is on track to be ordained a Diocese of Fort Worth priest in 2017. A man dedicated to serving God and the Church, Hauck said he never really chose to be a priest. Instead, he explained, the "the priestly vocation chose me first."
There's a special reason why Corina Pinela wanted to attend this year's Chrism Mass. During the solemn Holy Week liturgy, celebrated April 15 in St. Patrick Cathedral, Bishop Michael Olson blessed the oil and consecrated the chrism used to administer sacraments in diocesan parishes throughout the year.

National Empowerment Center, 20 Ballard Road, Lawrence, Massachusetts 01843
1994 by the American Psychiatric Association
People witb psycbiatric disabilities have articulated a model of recovery that encourages their empowerment by emphasizing consumerdefined goals, liberty, self-control of symptoms, peer support, elimination of discrimination, and provision of adequate material and social supports. Application of this model to health care reform requires public education to fight discrimination, an end to the use of involuntary interventions in the name of treatment, further development of services run by sur-vivors-consumers and other alternatives topsychiatric hospitalization, and increased involvement of sur-vivors-consumers in decisions related to their treatment and support. To promote empowerment of people with mental health problems, health care reform should include affordable, universal coverage without exclusions for preexisting high-risk conditions, parity of mental health benefits with other benefits, which includes coverage for voluntary services only, and incentives for funding long-term care, alternatives to hospitalization, and holistic healing services.
