Hello fellow Bleary-Eyed Friends!
It's been a long time since your Uncle Darkmovienight had anything of substance to say, but waking up this morning to a brand new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer was just the kick in the pants this old reviewer needed to get out of bed, grab some coffee, oatmeal, and laptop and toss out a few hundred words!
So in this new and beautiful trailer, we're treated to a little more of Jyn Erso and her rousing speeches, which will surely inspire the tiny Rebellion to take on the massive Empire in all out war. We also get a look at how the brilliant Mads Mikkelsen is involved in this prequel to the original Star Wars: A New Hope.
Just tiny bits of musing from the trailer:
- They said the name of the movie in the trailer! You know it's going to be quality when that happens.
- Gotta love the menacing walk of Darth Vader to the nameless White Shirt. Will always admit, Vader walking full speed at anyone is just terrifying.
- Also, speaking of Vader, watching the character of Director Orson Krennic, portrayed by the talented Ben Mendelsohn, seemingly pleading and yelling at the Dark Lord of the Sith shows how passionate he is about this "technological terror". Makes me wonder where he is when Tarkin is talking about it in A New Hope.
- The money shot of the trailer is really the hazy view we get of the completed Death Star rising above the clouds (it's around the 1 minute mark if you want to see what I'm talking about, but it's not like you're going to watch the trailer multiple times or anything…
So there we have it, another fantastic trailer in the books from the House of Mouse and Lucasfilm. From all the hubbub about re-shoots and changing composers, I believe everyone needs to temper their expectations just a bit. I don't think it'll be a train-wreck, but I also don't think it's going to be anywhere near what J.J. Abrams accomplished with Episode VII. Remember, we're watching a film directed by the young Gareth Edwards who only has 7 film credits to his name thus far, so we'll see what he can do.
But if you're like me, your butt is going to be firmly planted in a seat when Rogue One: A Star Wars Story releases on December 16th.
PS- Need to apologize to all those that suckle at the breast of I Watch Too Many Movie's reviews. We've done a terrible job at keeping you up to date with the film world.
Although I also blame Hollywood since there really hasn't been a film of note since Suicide Squad, and when that's the benchmark, we all know this has been a lousy year of movie-going. But we'll try to do our best to update things more and get everyone involved again, especially with a Holiday Season packed with a new Marvel film, some movie about talking to aliens, a new Harry Potter film, new animated Ethnic Disney Princess film, one based on a Video Game Series, and even a film featuring the voice of Liam Neeson! So we'll keep you up to date and these films plus more reviewed in the next few months.

Galactosemia is a condition in which an individual's body cannot metabolize the simple sugar galactose found in milk, states MedlinePlus. Galactose-1 phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency, deficiency of galactose kinase and deficiency of galactose-6-phosphate epimerase are the three forms of galactosemia.
Galactosemia is an inherited disorder that occurs in approximately 1 of 60,000 Caucasians, explains MedlinePlus. Infants with galactosemia show symptoms of lethargy, convulsions, irritability, vomiting, jaundice and poor weight gain. Galactosemia is diagnosed by exams such as a blood culture, a prenatal diagnosis directly measuring the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase and an inspection of enzyme activity in red blood cells. Possible complications of galactosemia include delayed speech development, irregular menstrual periods, tremors, liver cirrhosis, cataracts and intellectual disability.

brass cleaning questions
Hello, I am new to reloading and i just bought an ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight (the small one) and i was wondering how clean i need to get the brass for reloading i am reloading 40 S&W if that helps. So far the outside and primer pocket are sparkling but the bottom of the inside has some deposits in there none on the side just the bottom. So do i need to keep going or is this good enough to reload/

No reloaders tumbled cases at all until maybe 25 years ago and none of us blew up.

Before I got my tumbler, I use to just wash the brass in hot soapy water, rinse and then run them through the reloading steps.
I always decap (punch out the primer) after I have washed/cleaned the brass because I did not want to get dirt in my dies.
Some of my brass has been reloaded 15 times and the black carbon inside the cartridges has never affected the performance. Reload and start enjoying yourself.

Then, I clean the cases.
The exception is range brass or military once fireds. These go through a bucket of hot water with dishwashing detergent, and then rinsing before I touch them.

I'm a thinking that since you are using ultra sonic, depriming prior to dip and shake will help get the primer pockets clean.
I like mine clean, but that's just me. There are some dirty old men out there that never blink when the take their brass from the ground directly to the press.
A lack of planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on my part.

I do agree with Uncle Buck about not getting dirt in my dies. I don't deprime with my sizing die, I use a Lee Universal Depriming die or my drill press and a nail.

Brass Cleaning
Here's how I clean my brass:
Load the vibrator with brass (with primer) and media (I buy bags of corn cob media at the pet store. They sell it as bird cage litter)
Add one laundry dryer sheet, cut in 1" strips
Add about 1" squeeze of Flitz (tube type)
Add about 1" ball of Never-Dull wadding, pulled into small pieces
In the photo below, the 45 ACP brass on the left was tumbled about one hour using the above method. I didn't cherry pick a case, but just picked out one at random. The case on the right was tumbled by another shooter using the same vibrator, corn cob media (probably from Midway) and a reloading polish additive.

Listen to uncle Buck. The black stuff inside the cases does nothing to the finished ammo. It does NOT "build up", it's simply carbon left over from combustion of the powder. Same goes for the crud in the primer pockets.
My method is simply to use 20/40 grit corn cob from drillspot.com. It's super fine grit cleans and shines more quickly than the coarser grits. Carsinc, that pet store stuff is okay as long as it's used on big pistol cases, but wait till you use it on rifle stuff under 35 caliber! You'll invent some new cuss words getting it out of those bottle neck cases, I know I did!

Yo, Snuffy
I don't shoot no bottle necks. I do drank from the neck. Than I shoot the empty bottles.
Good point about the media size, but I only reload 45 ACP and LC.

I buy walnut media at the pet stores, they sell it as lizard bedding. I also decap before tumbling. The walnut media pours easily from bottleneck cases, but the smallest thing I tumble is .223, so I can't address anything smaller than that.
I don't add any polish to my media. I don't care if they're shiny, Clean is good enough for me. I use the same media to make sandbags for range shooting. It's a whole lot lighter than sand and seems to hold up well.
Which reminds me, it's time to cut the legs off some more bluejeans.

If you are cleaning by wet methods, I recommend you decap first or you will occasionally get water trapped inside primers and that wet your decapping pin and may contaminate the fresh primer. Buy the inexpensive Lee Universal Depriming and Decapping Die for decapping dirty cases so you don't scratch up your sizing die.
Don't use the tube type Flitz. It contains ammonium oleate which etches copper and especially zinc. It's very slight, but can lead to premature neck splitting or season cracking (if you keep your loads around for a time). Avoiding anything with ammonia or ammonia compounds is a good idea, IMHO.
I don't know what you are using in your ultra-sonic, but I find the old arsenal case cleaning formula of water with 5% citric acid powder by weight works very well in one. You can add a bit of dishwashing liquid to help it suspend dirt if you want to.
The truth is you can load and fire dirty cases in the .45 ACP just fine, as long as you don't mind scuffing dies and scratching cases. A fifteen minute tumble in plain media gets the loose dirt off adequately. Shiny cases do have the advantage of being easier to find in grass, though, and that's what you are buying with any extra effort beyond getting loose grit off.

Before I found the need for a tumbler (I reloaded prolly 10 years w/o one) I would just wipe each case with a rag lightly dampend w/mineral spirits. I inspected/wiped each case before any other steps done. I had no scratches or gouges in my dies from grit 'cause each case was clean enough to use. Maybe not bright shiny, brass, but well serviceable. BTW; way back when, you could tell if a guy was a reloader by his brass. Usually it was NOT bright-shiny right from the factory looking, but usually dull, but clean, and he picked every one up before he left...

well i have been talking to local shops here and i think you guys are right and the amount of carbon in the case that i am worried about isn't a problem.
my cleaning method is
1) mix simple green and hot water in a bucket and mix the brass in there for a few mins then drain and rinse
2) dry them over night ( about 12 hours )
3) deprime
4) 50/50 water and vinegar with a little dish soap in the ultrasonic for 9mins
5) rinse
6) water and baking soda in the ultrasonic for 9mins
7) rinse 2 or 3 times with hot water and let dry for 24 hours or more
I might be over doing it
thanks for the idea on the Lee universal depriving die

That's pretty labor intensive. I recommend you get the citirc acid in place of the vinegar. When I've used the old NRA vinegar formula, if I let the washed brass sit out a couple of days it tarnishes. The citric acid doesn't seem to do that. About $32 will get you 10 lbs (enough to make 24 gallons of solution), S&H included, here. There is a thread full of examples on castboolits.com.

I tumble mine with primers in. I use corn cob in one tumbler and walnut in another with Meguairs car polish. I don't normally clean primer pockets.

I've been tumbling or vibrating for nearly 30 years. If the outside of the case is shiny I'm happy, my dies are happy. I'll decap rifle brass, especially BPCR stuff. With BPCR brass I wash and rinse, then dry in a warm oven after decapping and before tumbling. Pistol brass I just do a quick sort and toss them in the tumbler for several hours.

Gee, guys all this jaw boning about washing the brass is getting me tired. If I start doing that, the wife will want me to do the dishes. Now that's not going to happen.
Short and simple, 1/2 Zilla walnut mix (very fine) and 1/2 fine corn cobb with 2 teaspoons of your favorite polish (mine is FA). Drop in cases, close tumbler and plug into power. Spend an hour on the internet here and go back to the tumbler and un plug. Dump into media seperator turn three times and pack your clean shinny empty cases for later. It's easy on the labor, easy on the budget and actually gives you time to do some reloading.
It's not that I am lazy (OK I'm lazy) but the last time I washed my car was ten years ago, and I reload more than I drive.
Ya, wash cases and dishes, fat chance of that happening. (LOL)

Lizzard bedding as pictured above and 3 caps of Nu-Finish. Tumble for 5 hrs or more. Turn it on when i go to work and done when i get home. I tumble about 1000 to 3000 cases a week. I sell it on the side. Buyers that get brass from me that looks better than brand new brass are very happy and that makes me happy. I have many many repeat buyers that keep coming back. Was asked by last buyer ,,,How in gods green earth do you get your brass so clean and the primer pockets so clean.

About Steven Young Lee
Steven Young Lee employs ceramics as a medium to explore ideas of cross-cultural appropriation and the way experiences, the environment, and even superstitions shape identity. The resident artist director at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena, Montana, Lee creates both functional works and sculptural art pieces that often take the form of broken or fractured and collapsed vases. His work is rich with allusions to the history of his medium, as in the series "Cup Panels," in which the artist arranged 300 ceramic cups—decorated with motifs from various Asian and European traditions—into rows of shelves resembling Color Fields. "I see these as reminders of the past," Lee has said, "but also as objects that I have become emotionally invested in discovering my own sense of place."

I have actually never seen a indie company accomplish such detail when it comes to visuals in a game. Everything was beautiful, reflections off of certain surfaces, lighting, terrain detail, everything. I am kind of blown away. Even the movement physics seem fluid and smooth rather then choppy or clunky. Animations such as the character interacting with the environment was great. Huge thumps up from Bulkhead, again I have never seen that type or detail and professionalism from an Indie company, so hats off. Really excited too see this type of work in Battalion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5 Fun ways to announce pregnancy
One of the exciting parts of pregnancy is letting others know that you are pregnant. But sometimes just saying 'Hey, I'm pregnant,' isn't enough. Instead, take a creative approach to spilling the beans . . .
Pregnant? You only get one chance to tell people the exciting news. Instead of just outright telling folks, take a creative approach to sharing the news. Not only will your loved ones remember the moment forever, but it will make a great story to tell the grandkids one day ... Heck, it will make a great story period.
Ultra-cool ultrasound
The precious first pictures of baby taken during ultrasounds can make a great way to share the news. Forget about impersonal MySpace and Facebook posts for close friends and family and , instead, use the ultrasound photos to spread the word with tangible items like postcards.
"The way we announced it to all our other family and friends was to send our postcards. We ordered roughly 100 postcards from Vistaprint.com that had a picture of me holding the pregnancy test. Next to the picture it said "Boy or Girl? Find out the answer in May 2009!" It was a fun, inexpensive way to announce it and we still get compliments on how creative it was," said Stephanie Carter.
Another way to use the ultrasound photo is to place it in a picture frame and give it as a gift. "we timed the announcement with my mom's birthday (which happened to fall on Thanksgiving that year). So with the whole family around the table, my mom began opening her birthday presents. Our present to her was a picture frame that had "Grandkids" engraved on it … and a picture of the ultrasound in the frame. When she opened the present, her first expression was quizzical, then elated … she teared up and couldn't say a word … all she could do was pass the frame around the table to everyone else," said Jenny White.
A bun in the oven?
Ever heard the old expression "there's a bun in oven?" Well, taking a literal approach to that can be a really fun and unique way to share the news.
Mom Heather Zebra of CoolZebras.com surprised her husband with the news just before a doctor's appointment.
"While my husband was in the bathroom I took a hamburger bun and put it in the oven. When he emerged from the bathroom I asked him if he was cooking something. No, he said he wasn't and wondered why. I just said "oh I thought you put something in the oven." He was confused by this exchange, but nonetheless opened the oven door to look. It took him a moment or two to figure it out, but his grandfather used to ask me every time he saw me if I had a bun in the oven yet," said Heather Harrer.
Say it on a shirt
Shirts that tell the story are a great way to spread the joy. They can also be a lot of fun, because people might not notice right away so you can really see each person's reaction. "We bought my son a t-shirt that said, 'Oops, they did it again. I'm gonna be a big brother.' We put the t-shirt on him and waited for my parents to notice it," said Michael Shore.
If it's your first baby, or even if you just have a beloved furry friend, you can get them in on the surprise too. "I made a t-shirt for my dog that said 'New Top Dog - Baby Tong - July 2009'. The shirt was a plain white t-shirt and I used puffy paint in pink and blue to write the letters on it. I took a picture of my dog in the shirt, and then emailed it around to friends. I included a note with the photo that said, Chip is going to be a big brother. No, we're not getting a puppy. Yes, we're having a baby," said Karen Tong.
A picture is worth a thousand words
Want to remember the expressions when you shared the news forever? Then plan a picture! Simply let the photographer in on the news and have them capture some shots while and after you share the news.
"The family was all gathered for my niece's confirmation party and we asked a family friend also attending to suggest that he take a picture with all the family members in it. Just as the family friend snapped the shot, my husband blurted out "Jean's pregnant!" The photographer got some great surprised and joyful looks on our family members' faces in the series of shots he took over the next few minutes. It was a great way to capture and remember the moment," said Jean Eggemeyer.
Social networking?
With the rising popularity of social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, it can be tempting to just send off a quick message announcing pregnancy. While that is an incredibly impersonal way to tell close friends and family, it is a great way to disseminate the information to everyone else once your nearest and dearest are in the know.
Another way to incorporate the internet is to start a pregnancy blog, and invite your circle of friends to read about your exciting news. Keeping up with the blog throughout your pregnancy can make it a great keepsake for baby too.

a long-standing belief that all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy. That's what destinations like the Sawgrass
Marriott Resort & Beach Club are for. It may be home
to 46,000+ square feet of meeting space, including Tournament
Hall, which can house up to 60 booths, but it's also surrounded
by 99 holes of championship golf.
plays an important role at the resort. Along with lakes,
three pools and the adjacent ocean, waterfalls cascade
in the lobby and around the whirlpools. Water provides
a soothing backdrop to almost every activity on offer,
from beach volleyball to tennis to golf. The lakes are
interwoven throughout the grounds and the resort's own
Pete Dye-designed TPC Stadium Course, which is home to
the PGA Tour's annual The Players Championship and the
famous Island Green at 17. The resort attract its fair
share of conventioneers with its ballrooms, boardrooms
and outdoor banquet venues, but it is known foremost for
its smooth golf set-up. Along with the Stadium fairways,
guests have access to the resort's TPC Valley Course and
the nearby Marsh Landing, Oakbridge and Sawgrass Country
its rolling lawns and 2 1/2 miles of Atlantic shoreline,
the Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Beach Club feels like
a seaside park. Interspersed throughout this bucolic setting
are a variety of accommodations. Along with 508 rooms
and suites in the hotel, there are also condo-like villas
on or near the golf course and one- to three-bedroom villas
on the beach. The latter work well for families as they
have kitchens, fireplaces, full dining rooms and screened
decks. Continual, discreet upgrades keep the hotel looking
fresh and stylish. A collection of suites, for example,
has been given a French and Mediterranean-inspired facelift,
as well as ergonomic desk chairs and 27-inch TVs. Taking
into account the heavy conference clientele, all accommodations
come with plenty of business amenities, such as high-speed
Internet access, voice mail, data ports and work desks.
some ways, the Sawgrass Marriott Beach Resort & Club
is like its own village, with seven restaurants and lounges
to choose from, such as Ocean View, featuring what else? views
of the ocean from its dining room. Café on the
Green offers American fare overlooking the thirteenth hole of
the TPC Stadium Course, and the 100th Hole provides beverages
and snacks poolside. Live entertainment and dancing takes
place nightly in the Champs Lounge.
travelers seeking a casual vacation or a laid-back place
to host a wedding, conference or golf retreat, the Sawgrass
Marriott Beach Resort & Club is a one-stop work and
play destination.

Frozen Study of a Disaster by Los Carpinteros
Friday, May 30, 2008
Havana-based Cuban artists Marco Castillo and Dagoberto Rodriguez, who make up the collective Los Carpinteros, created 'In the Frozen Study of a Disaster' — an apartment caught mid-explosion that looks like a bomb blast.
Chunks of wall is sent flying, the sofa is showered in shards of glass, and the air is filled with dismembered chairs, tables, fridges, beds and electrical items. It's like a frozen moment in a movie special effect, all suspended in mid-flight on lengths of fishing line and thin steel wires in an instant of explosive disaster.
The artwork made from IKEA and B&Q furniture painstakingly taken apart in mock-explosion makes the tables, cupboards and doors seem flimsy and papery. You walk past the installation, not through it.
As one Carpintero said, "It's like marriage. Everything starts out as a wonderful dream and ends up a f***ing nightmare."
The other Carpintero replied, "Hey, but you've never been married, man."

GRAFFITI SHOCK, ISSUE No. 4 aka the Meeting of Ghays exclusive!
CCTVs vs. Meeting of Styles or introduction into legal gayness
Scum, Simone, Rake, Phame, Manyo & Tarke.
CCTVs went for the artfag jam to mindfuck all the organizators (aka GEA graffiti enforcement agency), adobe graffiti painters, stencil cutters, sticker pushers and so on.
MOS was the place where the artfags aka the academic painters officially give a statement about their twisted reallity, about their beleifs that tags, throw ups and letters at all are not graffiti anymore. MOS organizators consider letterings as "old school thing" that sponsors don't like at all. So it was forbidden to paint them on the wall.
The day after we did our wall it was repainted by them artfags, so the CCTVs pay their dues by throwing bottles, fucking up with tags all the surrounding area then RK went on the top of the wall and start shooting for goodbye. Meantime some scared chickens called the police so we fastly left this kingdom of fakeness.
So, thank you stinky Cosmos spray paint, thank you Goethe Institute, thank you Snickers!
The bottom line:
German Akut of Maclaim and the Bulgarian Coast Guard still searching for his ductape somewhere on the beach to finish his 50x50 cm artwork, his half turkish girlfriend Hera raped by Tarke on the hot sand, French Dran (that guy from the Nissan Qashqai ad) scared like frightened chicken when some bottles flyed over his head, sponsors pissed like shit, main organizator (the fat ass retard) fucked up by the local authorities, don't want to see graffiti for the rest of his life. George W. Bush and the United States of America offered helps to the victims and their famillies.
local newspapers headlines:
"Stoned vandals brake and shoot on a graffiti festival"
the organizators:
"You fuckin saboteurs, this was the last event!"
Them gipsy kings
Directors Board
Sacer IRAK
Hiennas looking the Graffiti Is Dead sign
Fake posing with Sasquach
Hey, CCTVs let's have a hot beer, piss in the water and do some swimming competition

Sara Errani edges Shuai Peng in 2 tiebreakers to advance to quarterfinals at Family Circle Cup
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Sara Errani rallied to defeat Shuai Peng 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5) and advance to the Family Circle Cup quarterfinals.
The 11th-ranked Errani had lost her past three matches to China's Peng and appeared in trouble Thursday after trailing 6-5 in each set. Errani squandered three match points in the second-set tiebreaker until she placed a drop shot that Peng could not track down to finish it.
Daniela Hantuchova won a third-round match over Teliana Pereira in straight sets.
No. 2-seeded Jelena Jankovic, seventh-seeded Sam Stosur and 11th-seeded Venus Williams will play for spots in the quarterfinals later Thursday.
Two-time defending champion Serena Williams lost her opening match on Tuesday night.

Jennca, no, that is not a silly question, but a very legit one. Many people notice differences in the meds from different manufactors. Unfortunately I have heard and from my own experiences that Mallinkroft are not as good. Personally they gave me headaches. I haven't had anything from them is a couple of years, but others have posted and said they do not like them and they don't seem to work as well. I've heard them called Mallinkrap. I have also heard others say that generics can be 20% off in the composition of the brand med and pass inspection. So you can be getting 20% less of the medication. I think that's crazy. If possible, ask your pharmacist for a different manufactor.
I was surprised to learn that some pharmacies will only carry one type of generic and that's what you then have to get. That happened at my pharmacy with the patch and I did not like the generic they carried, so I went back to the brand. It costs me 30 dollars more a month, but I figure it's worth it. I do get generic for my breakthrough, but it's made by the same manufactor and is the exact same everything except for the name. It saves my insurance a lot by doing it so I don't mind as long as it's the same.
take care

Bipolar disorder is distinguished by episodes of excitability (mania) alternating with cycles of depression. The "mood swings" between mania and depression are often very sudden.
Bipolar disorder results from instability in the sections of the brain that regulate mood. During manic periods, an individual with bipolar disorder may be overly impulsive and energetic, with an overstated sense of self. The depressed stage brings overpowering feelings of anxiety, low self-respect and suicidal thoughts.
Many individuals with bipolar disorder require time in inpatient depression treatment centers where they can be removed from life stressors, get appropriate medication management and learn healthier coping skills. Learn more about The Ranch residential depression treatment programs or call 888-502-7510.
Bipolar Disorder Diagnosis & Tests
A diagnosis of bipolar disorder involves consideration of many factors. Often, proper diagnosis and treatment requires a stay in an inpatient depression treatment center where individuals are monitored by behavioral and medical experts. The health care provider may do some or all of the following:
- Observe behavior and mood
- Obtain medical history, including any medical problems and current and former medications taken
- Ask about recent mood swings and how long a client has experienced them
- Inquire about family medical history, particularly whether anyone has or had bipolar disorder
- Perform a physical examination to identify or rule out physical causes of the symptoms
- Request laboratory tests to check for thyroid problems or drug levels
- Speak with family members to discuss their observations of the client's behavior
Mood-stabilizing medication can help control the symptoms of bipolar disorder. However, patients often need help and support to take medicine properly and to ensure that any episodes of mania and depression are treated as early as possible.
Some people stop taking the medication as soon as they feel better or because they want to experience the productivity and creativity associated with mania. Although these early manic states may feel good, discontinuing medication may have very negative consequences.
Suicide is a very real risk during both mania and depression. Suicidal thoughts, ideas and gestures in people with bipolar affective disorder require immediate attention.
Bipolar Disorder and Addiction
Many people with bipolar disorder turn to drugs or alcohol in an effort to manage the troublesome symptoms of their illness. While drugs or alcohol may help temporarily ease some of these symptoms, substance abuse ultimately makes the problems worse. If you are already on bipolar medications such as Lithium or Depakote, drugs and alcohol may interfere with your ability to control your symptoms and can also pose severe health complications such as organ failure. Drug and alcohol abuse can also change the brain's chemistry, affecting the brain's reward center and making depressive symptoms more intense.
Bipolar Disorder Treatment
Bipolar disorder is often treated with mood-stabilizing medications such as valproic acid, lithium and carbamazepine. These are effective for treating both the manic and depressive phases, as well as avoiding future symptoms.
Antidepressant drugs may be useful throughout the depressive phase if the antidepressants are used with a mood stabilizer. Mood stabilizers are significant in individuals with bipolar disorder since without a mood stabilizer, antidepressants may trigger mania. (Keep in mind that individuals with bipolar disorder II may be misdiagnosed with depression only because they do not experience full-fledged mania. If these patients take antidepressants without mood stabilizers, it can trigger a manic episode.)
Antipsychotic drugs can help an individual who has lost touch with reality. Anti-anxiety drugs such as benzodiazepines may also help in some cases. The client may need to stay in a depression treatment center until his or her mood has stabilized and symptoms are under control.
The Ranch mental health treatment center's specially trained medical and behavioral experts draw upon a wide range of evidence-based traditional and alternative therapies to treat the full spectrum of mental health and addictive disorders that prevent individuals from living life to the fullest.

Updates about world's 1st university of higher learning(5th to 12th century) and newly reviving world class "Nalanda University".That had eight separate department compounds,classrooms,it accommodated over 10,000 students and 2,000 professors. Nalanda's great library was located in a nine storied building where meticulous copies of research papers were stored."Contemporary global intellectuals are 'Crazy' about Nalanda University".Let's contribute to re-build that 1st amazing world university.

Prelude to an Asian awakening
The new Nalanda International University will 'emphasise the importance of eastern intellectual endeavour' and as the continent re-emerges on the world stage 'its civilisational origins will become a subject of intense study and debate', writes ardhendu chatterjee
AT the 98th Indian Science Congress held at SRM University in Kattankulathur near Chennai in the first week of this month, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, head of the Nalanda Mentor Group, assured the nation that although restoring Bihar's Nalanda University was a stupendous task given the hype generated over its revival and the huge expectation from the international community, the proposed university — a reincarnation of the world famous seat of learning in ancient India — was "being re-started right now".
Although the new Nalanda International University was scheduled to be launched in 2009, issues like its basic structure and financial aspects have delayed its second coming. As creating an endowment of at least $1 billion for its re-establishment is badly needed, India's dithering is understandable.
However, the Indian Parliament already passed the Nalanda University Bill with the Planning Commission following it up by earmarking Rs 50 crore "as endowment fund in the form of a special grant for the commencement of activities and till such time the Nalanda University becomes sustainable on its own."
It deserves mention that former President APJ Abdul Kalam, during his official visit to Singapore in 2006, first floated the idea of the restoration of Nalanda University with all its pristine glory and excellence in a modern makeover. He then expounded his vision while addressing the Bihar Assembly. The Bihar government lost no time in taking up the matter in right earnest. It passed a bill in 2007 to establish Nalanda University and acquired about 500 acres of land in Rajgir, near the hallowed site of the ruined Nalanda University; acquisition of another 500 acres is also underway. It also succeeded in persuading the Centre to get involved in this massive project and take it over from the cash-strapped state.
The Centre agreed to shore up the state government move with financial support considering the international interest in the proposed university. The role of Singapore has been very commendable. Its sustained effort to spread the idea of the revival of the renowned seat of learning in course of "Nalanda Symposium" in November 2006 caught the fancy of East Asian countries, especially China, Japan and Korea. It also worked in tandem with Japan to raise resources to give a concrete shape to the plan. The move received a further fillip with the Japanese diplomat Noro Motoyasu's announcement on 28 May 2007 that Japan would fund the university substantially.
The East Asia Summit, a conglomeration of Asean plus six countries ie China, Japan, India, Korea, Australia and New Zealand provided further boost to the project in 2007. Again in 2009, at its fourth summit, it made a fervent plea to its members to make "appropriate funding arrangements on a voluntary basis from government and other sources including public-private partnership" for this "non-state, non-profit, secular and self-governing international institution."
The conglomeration decided to raise $500 million to build the proposed university and another $500 million to develop infrastructural facilities. A joint communiqué issued by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao, who was on a state visit to India from 15-17 December last, also stated that China "welcomed India's efforts to revive the Nalanda University. Both sides appreciated the work of the Nalanda Mentor Group and the progress made so far. India welcomed China's contribution of $1 million for the university."
The new university is likely to embrace the same seal of the ancient Buddhist University as its emblem in deference to its historic legacy.
The announcement of Professor Sen who has "the difficult task of chairing its interim governing body" comes as a fresh breath of air at a time when we do not care to respect the contributions of our centuries-old institutions of higher learning to the advancement of learning and dissemination of knowledge across the globe. The globe-trotting Nobel laureate is quite alive to the problems of re-establishing the university "after a 800-year hiatus". His task is all the more unenviable in view of the complete faith reposed by his countrymen in his leadership, educational ideals and vision.
One, however, reasonably hopes that the university "aimed at advancing the concept of an Asian community... and rediscovering old relationships" will soon resurrect as an academic melting pot for students and teachers of the whole world as paucity of funds and bureaucratic red tape have not so far been a bottleneck to its restoration.
It is unfortunate that this ancient centre of higher learning, known as "one of the first great universities in recorded history" that served the international academic community for more than 700 years since its establishment in the fifth century ceased to exist after Afghan conqueror Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed it in 1193. Otherwise, it would have been placed on the same pedestal as Oxford and Cambridge universities.
Nalanda could also be compared with the oldest European university at Bologna which, according to Professor Sen, came up when "Nalanda was more than 600 years old… Had it not been destroyed and had it managed to survive to our time, Nalanda would be, by a long margin, the oldest university in the world." Nalanda was established some 500 years before the Al-Azhar University in Cairo (970 AD.)
It has been decided that the new university would have facilities "including the teaching of and research in humanities such as history, languages and linguistics and comparative religion, as well as the social sciences and the world of practice such as international relations, management and development and information technology". It would have a School of Buddhist studies, philosophy and comparative religion; School of Historical Studies; School of International Relations and Peace; School of Business Management and Development; School of Languages and Literature; and School of Ecology and Environmental Studies. The visitor of the university would either be the President of India or any other person appointed by him. The university would function as a public-private partnership with funds to be provided voluntarily by the respective governments of the member states. The Mea is expected to relax visa procedures for foreign faculty and students visiting India in this connection.
Professor Sen must be aware that Bihar is now desperately trying to shed its age-old image as a lawless state. The state is registering exponential growth in economy under the dynamic leadership of Nitish Kumar. It has made tremendous headway in education as well with the math wizard and Super 30 founder Anand Kumar winning international accolades. So any effort to delay or dilute the project or shift any of its locations elsewhere would be counterproductive.
The project is expected be the lifeline of Bihar's economy. It would revive Buddhist cultures, attract scholars from all over the world, promote tourism and develop the economic conditions of people living in the 200-odd villages near the site. The success of this academic venture will strengthen cooperation among the Asian countries and promote mutual understanding. To quote Singapore foreign minister George Yeo, also an NMG member, Nalanda International University would be the "icon of Asian Renaissance… as Asia re-emerges on the world stage this century, its civilisational origins will become a subject of intense study and debate. Asians will look back to their own past and derive inspiration from it for the future".
Most importantly, it will emphasise the importance of eastern intellectual endeavour and ensure that human cultural understanding is not dominated by the Western civilisational model.

Towson University is one of the nation's best and most efficiently run universities, says U.S. News & World Report. For its region (north), TU ranked 10th among the top public schools and 44th among the best universities.
Towson was also ranked in the top five of the region (north) for its successful management of financial resources, despite reduced state budgets, to produce a quality education and experience for students.
The inaugural list was created by U.S. News & World Report to demonstrate "which schools are able to produce the highest educational quality, as determined by their place in our Best Colleges rankings, but spend relatively less money to achieve that quality."
To create these rankings, the magazine measured how much each school spent per student on instruction, research, student services and other related educational expenditures during the fiscal year of 2011. For Towson, that number was $12,018.
"Towson University's institutional focus on student needs and success is at the forefront of all decision-making, and I am pleased that our student focus is once again producing national recognition for Towson's efficient stewardship of resources," says President Maravene Loeschke.

5 Signs You're in a Mentally Abusive Relationship
Domestic violence is stereotypically categorized, by society and the media, as a physical altercation when in reality there is another side of domestic violence which is the emotional and psychological abuse that also takes place. These cuts run deep and change the make-up of an individual because they break down a person's confidence and self-esteem. The internal bruises can cause an abused victim to feel isolated and incapable. Ultimately, their enough doesn't feel like it's ever good enough. An abuser convinces the victim that everything is his/her fault and no matter the victim is responsible for what happened. There are several ways victims, and their loved ones, can identify if they're being subjected to a mentally abusive relationship.

WHITE ROCK CREEK (Hill County). White Rock Creek rises in northeastern Hill County (at 32°08' N, 97°04' W) twelve miles northeast of Hillsboro and runs southeast for twenty-three miles to its mouth on Navarro Mills Lake, six miles southeast of Irene (at 31°56' N, 96°47' W). The stream is intermittent in its upper reaches. It crosses flat to rolling terrain surfaced by dark, commonly calcareous clays, deep to shallow expansive clays, and clay and sandy loams that support mesquite, grasses, oak, juniper, and cacti. The area has served as range and crop land.

When delegates sit down at the United Nations population conference in Mexico City next week, China will almost certainly receive praise for its national birth-control program.
During the decade since the last conference at Bucharest in 1974, China's annual population growth rate has averaged 1.5 percent. It is estimated to be 1. 3 percent this year. For the previous decade, China's annual growth rate had been 2.6 percent.
This slower growth for China's massive population of more than 1 billion people has made it a leader in family planning among third-world nations, Western experts here say.
But China also has been the target of continuing criticism from abroad for the way its stringent family-planning measures have been enforced. In particular , critics say, the one-child-per-family policy adopted in 1979 has made abortions commonplace. China's one-child-per-family policy reportedly has involved virtually mandatory sterilization for couples with two or more children in certain parts of the country.
The state's birth-control policies also have aggravated the problem of female infanticide in certain rural areas, though such cases are severely dealt with under the law, say Chinese officials. Shen Gaoxing, director of the education department of China's State Family Planning Commission, recently announced that while the problem still existed in China, ''The figures had dropped drastically.'' But he said he had no statistics on the subject.
Family-planning officials here admit there have been problems and excesses in implementing state policies. But they say that much of the criticism from the West arises because most Western countries have never faced overpopulation and do not understand the problem.
''There is much misunderstanding in the West about our family-planning situation,'' Mr. Shen said. For one thing, he says, China's overpopulation has been a heavy burden on its economic development plans. ''If we had adopted an appropriate policy during the 1950s and '60s,'' he said, ''we would not have had to advocate a one-child-per-couple policy now.''
Peking's family-planning program rests on the premise that China needs to control population growth as well as increase the production of goods and services if it is to reach its goal of quadrupling per capita income by the year 2000.
During the 1950s, a well-known dictum of Mao Tse-tung was, ''When there are more people picking up firewood, then there will be a bigger fire.'' Or put more directly: The more people there are, the more work will get done.
By the early 1970s, Mao had revised his opinion about the advantages of a large population, but not before China had grown by more than 300 million people in the two decades after 1949. The children born during those years, especially during the ''baby boom'' of the early 1960s, now are reaching marrying age.
One particular cause for dispute between China and its family-planning critics concerns the degree of coercion in local enforcement of birth-control measures.
A Western observer who has interviewed many birth-control workers at the county and village level over several years confirmed that often they have been heavy-handed in their tactics. He attributed this partly to their lack of education and professional skills.
In recent months, however, he has noted a marked willingness to let a couple have the extra child if all other means of persuasion fail. In the past, he said , they would have required an abortion.
The main weapons in bringing down China's birth rate have been its massive public education effort carried out by tens of thousands of officials and part-time workers in every village and county in the country, and the liberal distribution of contraceptives. The social pressures the public education program has generated have been hard for most couples to resist.
''One of the objects of our work is to change the people's consciousness [ about the value of large families],'' Shen said.
He added that public surveys show that attitudes have changed significantly in the past 10 years and that many people - mostly in urban areas - no longer want many children. But many Chinese still value families that are larger than current policy allows, even with its exceptions, mainly for ethnic minorities.
The State Family Planning Commission recently reported that only 21.2 percent of married women of reproductive age who have children have only one child, although 70 percent of married couples of reproductive age have adopted some form of contraception.
''The one-child-per-family policy is not ideal,'' said Lin Wen Bing, director of education for Peking's Municipal Family Planning Commission. ''But we need to explain the true situation, to make (people) see the point that a lower population will benefit the state as well as themselves.''
The latest emphasis in family-planning education has been to counter the social effects of the nation's economic reform policies. The job responsibility system has permitted families in the countryside, where 80 percent of China's population lives, to go into business for themselves, thereby rewarding households with more laborers. The government has been trying to persuade Chinese peasants that the correct way to get rich is not to have more children, but to improve management techniques and adopt new technology.

Like a lot of young women with impeccable penmanship and a compulsion to anthologize, Christina Gaston had a handwritten list of her favorite things in the world:
-Love for my family.
-Going to the movies.
-First snowfall.
-Driving to music lessons and performances.
She was a woman of disarming beauty, charisma and compassion; a woman who relished the smell of dusty book stores, who collected antiques before it was trendy; a woman whose eyelashes and lips made Audrey Hepburn look frankly plain; a woman who was not above walking a mile through snow in six-inch heels to volunteer; a woman who loved, above all, music.
"Music was Christina's voice for self-expression" wrote Christina's sister Cassandra and mother Elizabeth in a prepared statement for Scene. "She always enjoyed performing, whether it was on stage in a symphony hall or stopping by the Seniors Center to brighten up their day."
She started playing violin at a very young age, back when the instrument's body was roughly the size of her torso. She was living in the Dominican Republic with her family at the time and cultivated a love of music alongside her big sister who played cello, piano and guitar. Practicing four hours a day, which Christina routinely did as a child, wasn't only a testament to her discipline and perfectionism; it was even more a testament to her passion.
In 1985, when she was only six, Christina's father and grandfather were killed in a tragic car accident. The three Gaston women moved back to the states, near Atlanta, to be closer to Elizabeth's family.
"[We] were like the three musketeers," wrote the Gastons. "One for all and all for one."
This merry trio of strong, intelligent, cosmopolitan women hop-scotched the nation to see its finest museums and cultural centers. Traveling together, learning about the world, appreciating art in all its forms — it was Christmas all year round.
Christina's love of music and art followed her, even as she aged. She obtained academic degrees in music and played in symphonies and ensembles from Battle Creek to Poland. And despite her commitment to constantly perfecting her own artistry, she never stopped giving. She would frequently teach violin lessons to beginners (often for free) and participated in music outreach programs through CIM to spread her love of music to local schools.
When a serious injury short-circuited what would have been a prolific musical performance career in 2010, Christina found solace in her love of museums and a professional home at the Cleveland Museum of Art. She worked there until being offered the position of managing director at ChamberFest Cleveland.
"I really loved working with Christina," wrote Diana Cohen, the Executive Director of ChamberFest. "She brought warmth, class and professionalism to our growing organization. She was a fantastic colleague and her contributions will always be remembered and appreciated greatly."
But even more than her contributions to the cultural community —- which were significant, even at her young age — friends will remember her more for her laugh and her smile and her infectious charisma.
"Her laugh….it was amazing. Just this amazing guffaw," said one of her best friends from the Cinematheque. "And she was just absolutely gorgeous. I remember once, it was at a Humphrey Bogart movie, I thought, God, it should be her up on that screen."
Her family will remember her, always, for her eternal reserve of goodness: donating her gorgeous long hair to locks of love, inviting foreign-exchange students home for the holidays.
"At antique malls, if Christina saw old photos, she would buy them saying, 'They are somebody's family, and they need a home.'" Cassandra wrote.
Like sisters tend to do, Christina and Cassandra diverged in their interests and careers as they got older, but remained best friends, visiting each other as often as they could no matter where they lived.
"I couldn't help but constantly smile and laugh when we were together." Cassandra wrote. "No matter how old we got, it's as if we were two giggly, carefree teenage girls having fun. Christina had a unique way of bringing out the best in me."
Cassandra also wrote that Christina felt a deep connection to Cleveland and that after college, she had opportunities to go all over the world, but she wanted to return here. She lived in Cleveland longer than she lived anywhere else in her life.
And for a true beauty like Christina — a soul beauty — she could've graced her friends and family and Cleveland, Ohio, with her presence for 1,000 more years and it wouldn't have been long enough. Not nearly.
We would like to thank the overwhelming number of Christina's friends and other people in the community who have reached out to us across multiple states to extend their support and kindness. Unfortunately, we were forced to make her online memorial/tribute wall private. However, if you would like to contact us regarding Christina, we encourage you to email us in confidence at email@example.com.
We greatly appreciate that Scene has tried to show respect and sensitivity to our family and Christina while reporting this story.

I'm speaking from personal experience when I say that finding work after separating from the military can be a difficult endeavor. It took me six months to land my first post-military job. Thankfully unemployment benefits helped bridge the income gap while I was searching for work. Unfortunately, the overall economy is in poor shape right now and many veterans are facing an uncertain employment landscape and are finding it increasingly difficult to find work. That is why President Obama and the Department of Labor are working to create programs for out of work military veterans. There are three new programs we will cover in this article – hopefully one of them will help you on your search for a new job.
New Career Resources for Military Vets
The three new job search resources are as follows: My Next Move for Veterans, the Veterans Job Bank, and the Veterans Gold Card. These new resources help you translate your military skills into related civilian jobs, search jobs in a job search database open to military veterans, and get personalized one on one job counseling from one of over 3,000 One-Stop Career Centers in the nation.
My Next Move for Veterans
Have you ever wondered how your military skills translate into a civilian job? If so, you are not alone. Military members have a variety of skills, but not all of them easily translate into the civilian sector. But a new tool from the Department of Labor, My Next Move for Veterans, makes it easier to do just that. Simply visit the site and enter a few things about yourself to help determine where your skills and interest lie, and how you can use those skills and interests in the civilian sector. You can even select your branch and MOS and the skills translator can help you find similar jobs in the civilian sector. You can also find information about various civilian jobs, including information about salaries, apprenticeships, and other related education and training programs.
The Veterans Job Bank
The Veterans Job Bank is another tool available for military veterans. This tool helps connect unemployed veterans to job openings with companies that want to hire them. There are currently over 500,000 jobs listed in the database, with more jobs being added as they become available.The Veterans Job Bank allows users to search for jobs using their current location, military occupation Code, or by keywords. You can use this widget, which the National Resource Directory was kind enough to provide for our readers, or visit the Veterans Job Bank website.
Veterans Gold Card Employment Program
It might sound like it at first, but the Veterans Gold Card is not a military credit card– it's much better than that. The Veterans Gold Card is a new program designed to give post-9/11 era military veterans one on one career counseling and job finding assistance. The Veterans Gold Card is a joint effort from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS).
To use this program, eligible veterans simply need to can print a Gold Card and visit his or her local One-Stop Career Center. From there, the veteran is eligible to receive one-on-one job counseling for up to 6 months. Some of the available services may include:
- Job readiness assessment, including interviews and testing;
- Development of an Individual Development Plan (IDP);
- Career guidance through group or individual counseling that helps veterans in making training and career decisions;
- Provision of labor market, occupational, and skills transferability information that inform educational, training, and occupational decisions;
- Referral to job banks, job portals, and job openings;
- Referral to employers and registered apprenticeship sponsors;
- Referral to training by WIA-funded or third party service providers; and
- Monthly follow-up by an assigned case manager for up to six months.
Eligible veterans can print a Gold Card here.
Finding a job after your military career isn't always easy, but hopefully these tools will make things easier for you. Thanks for your service!

In the final analysis, a democratic government represents the sum total of the courage and the integrity of its individuals. It cannot be better than they are. —Eleanor Roosevelt
President Obama's recent visit to a US mosque and his condemnation of the "inexcusable political rhetoric" perpetrated against Muslims by a number of the leading Republican candidates for president is an important step in trying to counter the growing anti-Muslim backlash that has come in the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks. But the president and other leading civic and political leaders need to do much more if they hope thwart the climate of hate and fear that has been stimulated by the unconscionable anti-Muslim statements made by Donald Trump and other leading candidates for the White House.
One person the president and others might draw strength from in this effort is Eleanor Roosevelt.
On December 16, 1941, less than ten days after Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, at a time when the Japanese army was furiously advancing on Malaya and the Philippines, and when Hitler's armies had overrun all Europe and stood a mere 25 miles from the center of Moscow, Eleanor Roosevelt had the courage to challenge the American people not to give in to their fears.
She had just returned from a trip to the West Coast, where she bore witness to the apprehension and rising hatred many of her fellow citizens had directed towards Americans of Japanese descent. Given that we had suddenly found ourselves thrust into a global war, some of the anxiety that the American people were feeling at this moment was understandable. But she was confident—as she wrote in her My Day column—in the ability of the FBI and Secret Service to ferret out any German, Italian, or Japanese agents who might represent a threat to the United States. And she calmly advised her fellow Americans to report any suspicious activity to the proper authorities.
But she also cautioned her fellow citizens not to forget that "the great mass of our people, stemming from these various national ties, must not feel that they have suddenly ceased to be Americans." Indeed, she went on, how the American people respond to this crisis represents "perhaps, the greatest test this country has ever met." Americans, after all, "come from all the nations of the world," and as some of us have remarked, we may be "the only proof that different nationalities could live together in peace and understanding, each bringing his own contribution, different though it may be, to the final unity which is the United States."
And then, in words that powerfully resonate in today's climate of fear and xenophobia, she admonished the American people not to forget the unique role that the United States can and must play at this critical moment. For "if," she went on, "out of the present chaos there is ever to come a world where free people live together peacefully, in Europe, Asia or in the Americas, we shall have to furnish the pattern."

Armacell expanding PET foam extrusion into ChinaComments Email Print
Growing demand for lightweight composite materials in China has prompted global engineered foams manufacturer Armacell International SA to launch a new PET foam production line in the country.
The company also is expanding production in Canada.
According to the Luxembourg-based group, the new foam extrusion capacity, representing its fourth PET foam production line globally, is scheduled to come on stream by the end of next year.
Armacell already manufactures the foam material on production lines operating at plants in Thimister-Clermont, Belgium, and Mebane, N.C. A third extrusion line is about to start up at a plant in Brampton, Ontario, that was acquired in 2015 when Armacell bought Canadian polyethylene foam maker Industrial Thermo Polymers.
For the past five years, Armacell has supplied its ArmaForm brand PET foam exclusively in China through the Beijing-based agent Sino Composite Co in a bid to boost its presence and explore new applications and markets.
"It is time to expand our route to the Chinese composites industry and, as of now, to market and sell ArmaForm products through various supply channels," explained Henri Chapelle, the group's PET foams sales and marketing general manager.
Armacell sees the move as "an important step in our global supply chain optimization process" and will allow the firm to serve the Chinese composite market more cost effectively and flexibly, according to its PET foams CEO Thomas Kessel.
In recent years, Armacell's engineered foams business has increased its market share in composite materials used as lightweight insulation for trucks and recreational boats.
But it has managed to strengthen its global PET core foams market position particularly in supplying the material for wind turbine blades.
Armacell's launch of PET foam production in Canada is being achieved in three stages. Last September the firm announced it had begun PET foam slicing at Brampton and the foam welding process was due to begin a month later.
The third phase sees the extrusion line set to start production by the end of March this year, according to the group.
Armacell said its major capacity expansion of PET foam products this year around the world would secure continuing business with American wind turbine customers. It would also open up new market opportunities identified in the marine, transportation, infrastructure and automotive sectors where composite use is growing.
