On November 10, 2009, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors adopted the 2030 Countywide General Plan – the document which determines land use planning throughout the unincorporated area. The General Plan provides comprehensive and long-term policies for the physical development of the county and is often referred to as "the constitution" for local government. This is only the third time in the county's history that the General Plan has been comprehensively updated, and the first time since 1983.
While the fundamental goals of promoting agriculture, enhancing open space, and creating sustainable communities are the same as they have been over the past 50 years, the circumstances facing the county have changed. Issues such as the global economy, climate change, and the role of local government create new challenges to maintaining the county's historic vision. The 2030 General Plan charts a course for the county over the next twenty years that will achieve its goals and address these concerns.
The General Plan contains over 500 separate action items that will implement the variety of programs needed to realize the county's vision. By subscribing to this page, you will automatically be updated on the range of ordinances, community and area plans, and other actions that are in process to the 2030 Countywide General Plan.

PC War Machine :: How do I put crew in the tank?
How do I put crew in the tank?
I finally managed to get the Cromwell that I wanted to start building a proper fighting machine with so I wanted to add an experienced crew. I wasn't sure how to do it but I didn't think that it would be difficult, so I bought the Cromwell without crew. I can't now add any crew to the thing! I have added bunks to the barracks and tried selecting a new crew and "placing" them on the Cromwell but they stay in the barracks? I have tried training up a another crew but that didn't work either. The Cromwell just sits in the garage showing "Crew Incomplete!!!! I have checked and I have the correct crew members with the correct abilities!!!!!
So what do I have to do to get the crew to board the tank?
Panic over, I found it, in the garage. Makes sens now but when I recruited the crew it wasn't obvious.
Crew training is a must. Trying to battle in a tank with a 55% crew or thereabouts is just hard. Watch out for the specials they do over the weekend. Sometimes they have x3 crew training for all matches over the whole weekend. That is the time to train up some of your crews. Also you can use the $20k credit option to train your new crewmember to 75% right away if you have the credits.
That's probably why I don't usually last out the battle I am doing this on a shoe string though and I only buy credit if I'm desperate! Therefore ranking up in any one tank takes ages but I'm getting there slowly. I might not play for weeks then get stuck in for a while but I have, since finding this part of Kitmaker and seeing your vids, been thinking about going premium, Is it worth it?
Do you rank up and go through the torture of research and purchase or do you just buy the biggest baddest beast that you can?
I can't seem to fathom any real tactics for any one map with any particular piece of armour as what works one time just doesn't seem to work another I guess that might be down to the opposition and the fact that I don't have a well trained crew? I am realising that one of the great advantages, as in real life, is to see the enemy first, so should I buy the scope or coated optics? I haven't so far because they are expensive and it isn't clear if these stay with the vehicle or I have to buy them again if it gets knocked out? I'm guessing that you don't have to buy them again if you do get knocked out but if you do I won't be buying!
Sorry to jump in, but is this one of those games where you need to part with cash to get anywhere or can you just have a nice game without the cash spend?
If the answer is 'spend cash' then I'll not be playing, I don't like games that promise great things only if you part with cash.
Mal - Probably the best way to learn to play the game is watching tutorial videos. However I never did that until I was really far along in the game. Initially I think self-teaching yourself the various maps and learning how to best use the tanks you have in your garage is a good way to start. For me I wanted the German tanks (of course) so I started with the tank destroyers and heavy tanks. Once you get up to say tier 5 things start to change a lot. You are no longer in 'beginner' matches and a lot of the random events seem to go way down. That is not to say you can't still find lots of idiot players at higher tiers, there are just fewer of them.
Periscopes, Repair kits, and camouflage are definitely the best equipment purchases you can make. You can always easily move those between tanks and you never are locked in like you can be with items that require gold to remove them and use them on another tank.
Premium tanks are very fun and come completely ready to fight. No upgrades needed. You need a good crew of course and you if you do opt to buy a premium tank, but one that compliments your existing tanks. So if you are playing German heavy tanks for example you might want a Lowe. That way you can use your crew from say your Tiger in your Lowe. They can pretty easily be moved back and forth as needed.
As for money required to play, Luciano, you can play completely for free. I did that for a long time and enjoyed the game. Of course the more time you invest in the game the more likely you are to want to do something using gold. For me it was things like moving equipment, up-training crew members quickly, etc. That said there are a LOT of players who never use gold or premium tanks. Most of the things in the game that use to require gold, you can now buy with the equivalent silver credits that you earn in each battle. So for example where in the old days only gold users could use HEAT or APCR ammo, now you can simply opt to use the credits you earn for free in the game.
I however have spent a lot of money on this game. I look at it this way though. I use to buy a $50 PC game every 6 months or so. This game keeps changing and kept me interested for 2.5 years. So that means spending a bit on it here and there is okay for me. I didn't start off playing with that attitude though.
Thanks for clearing that up Jim, I'll look into windows 8 and bootcamp for my Mac, then I'll join in although I'm really waiting for World of Warships.
I have trained my crew on the Cromwell to 100% and added camo net and binocular periscope. I have changed my tactics from trying to be the hero, or "doing the right thing" to holding back and waiting for the "right moment" to move forward and it seems to be working. I have survived more than not and in a couple of instances without a scratch I can't tell if either the camo net or the scope have actually made a difference, but how would I tell? I survive when I am in the top tier in the group but if I'm in a tier 8 match I can get a few good shots in but I will die!
Things do seem to be looking up though but why does my Type T-34 (chinese) always end up in higher tier battles and last 2 mins?
By higher tier battles do you mean tier 7 battles or higher. If higher it's because you are getting 'scout' match-making. But I believe this only happens on light scout-class tanks like the T-50, Chaffee, etc.
Normally with a tier 5 tank you should only be seeing from tier 3-7 tanks (2 up/down).
It probably just seems like it as I don't last long! I have gone for tanks in the past that it seems very difficult to knock out only to find that when I'm driving them they are a one shot kill!!!
I had a great game the other day in my Hetzer, 6 kills and I captured the flag! I was on fire and only took 1 hit and that was from a higher tier vehicle that was just around the corner of a building, so it was a glancing blow. I then poped around the building and took him out with one shot. I only carry 20 rounds on the Hetzer, 10 AP 10 HE The next game in it I got 1 kill and died!
Mal, I found a widgit that lets you play the game on the Mac without having to have windows, you can't play full screen but I don't need to any way.
I've made it to tier 2 and a T-60 so far for one nights play.
I would be interested in that widget you mentioned.
Can you please explain how that widged works?

Investing Advice And InformationStock Market NewsGlobal Stock Investor Hotline 50
Global Stock Investor Hotline 50
Stocks started off the week with a bang Monday, making back some of the prior week's heavy losses as the European Union announced a $1-trillion rescue package for the euro. The Nasdaq soared 4.8%, the S&P 500 rose 4.4% and the Dow climbed 3.9%. Those were the major indices' best one-day gains since March 2009. By Tuesday, stocks had steadied across the board. Volatility was still out in full force and safe-haven assets like gold hit record highs.
Your bet against the euro through the UltraShort Euro ProShares (EUO) hit a record high of $23.64 last Thursday. It dropped slightly on the announcement of the rescue package on Monday. But by Tuesday, it closed near its record level at $23.46. This confirms that the markets are skeptical that the "shock-and-awe" bailout package has solved Europe's long-term problems. At the best, it is a harbinger of fiscal retrenchment and slower economic growth. At worst, it is throwing good money after bad. The euro's trend is still firmly down and EUO remains a BUY.
Many of the Global Stock Investor positions that you had stopped out of on Thursday's historic market swoon — and are now on our watch list — bounced sharply in the past two days. This month's pick — the iShares MSCI Malaysia Index (EWM) — already has benefited from this short-term bounce and is up 4.6% from your buy price Thursday.
Despite the widespread uncertainty in the market, the fundamentals of your positions on the watch list haven't changed. I continue to be particularly bullish on positions that have held up relatively well — in particular, the iShares MSCI South Korea Index Fund (EWY), Market Vectors Indonesia ETF (IDX) and iShares MSCI Israel Cap Invest Mkt Index (EIS). Remember, it was only a couple of weeks ago that these were trading near all-time highs.
Exclusive Reloading Your Bull Market Alert Portfolio
Re-entry strategies are among the most tricky in investing. So let me reveal my rule of thumb. As the positions on your watch list penetrate their 20-day moving averages, I will begin to recommend that you gradually re-enter your positions. This will indicate that markets have settled somewhat. But as of today, none of the positions on your watch list meets this condition. So it is still best to keep your horns in.
The WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund (CYB) also dropped on the global sell-off. That was more a sign of investors dumping assets than a change in the fundamentals of the Chinese currency. CYB remains a BUY.
iShares MSCI Malaysia Index (EWM) bounced 4.6% in the first couple of days in the portfolio. Malaysia's economy probably grew the most last quarter since at least 2000. Goldman Sachs says the impact of Europe's sovereign debt crisis will be muted on Malaysia, and recommended that investors buy the Malaysian currency, the ringgit. EWM is a BUY.
UltraShort Euro ProShares (EUO) fell back from its record high of $23.64 last week. But skepticism surrounding the $1-trillion bailout package and Europe's long-term structural problems mean that your bet against the euro remains a BUY.

Victory chalked up: East Antrim rider Graeme Irwin is the 2016 Pirelli Masters Champion.
Buildbase Honda Racing's Graeme Irwin raced to a dominant double win at round five of the Pirelli British Masters at Pontrilas.
After qualifying fastest and winning both races over a minute clear of the field at the weekend, he has clinched the 2016 Pro MX1 Masters title with one round still to run.
The East Antrim ace has controlled the series on his Buildbase CRF450R Honda, winning four overalls in the process and his latest maximum points haul puts him out of reach of his nearest rivals in the six-round series.
In the Pro MX2 class Doagh's Martin Barr regained the series leader's red plate with two typically rock-solid performances on his Buildbase Honda after his main title rival crashed out of race two. He is now set to become the second East Antrim rider in a matter of a fortnight to claim a British MX title when he lines up at Whitby's spectacular Skelder Bank circuit this weekend.
"All-in-all I'm happy to go away with a 36-point lead in the championship and I'm looking forward to the final round this weekend when hopefully I can wrap it up," he said.
Team owner Dave Thorpe was full of praise for both his riders in action at the Herefordshire circuit.
"I'm absolutely delighted for Graeme," said the three-time world 500cc champion. "He's put his heart and soul into the Pirelli Masters and he was unbelievably dominant today as he has been at most rounds. We're really, really pleased for him, his mechanic Rob Boseley and the whole team.

Why do so many vaccinated people remain irrationally fearful?
By David Leonhardt NYT
A fable for our times
Guido Calabresi, a federal judge and Yale law professor, invented a little fable that he has been telling law students for more than three decades.
He tells the students to imagine a god coming forth to offer society a wondrous invention that would improve everyday life in almost every way. It would allow people to spend more time with friends and family, see new places and do jobs they otherwise could not do. But it would also come with a high cost. In exchange for bestowing this invention on society, the god would choose 1,000 young men and women and strike them dead.
Calabresi then asks: Would you take the deal? Almost invariably, the students say no. The professor then delivers the fable's lesson: "What's the difference between this and the automobile?"
In truth, automobiles kill many more than 1,000 young Americans each year; the total U.S. death toll hovers at about 40,000 annually. We accept this toll, almost unthinkingly, because vehicle crashes have always been part of our lives. We can't fathom a world without them.
It's a classic example of human irrationality about risk. We often underestimate large, chronic dangers, like car crashes or chemical pollution, and fixate on tiny but salient risks, like plane crashes or shark attacks.
One way for a risk to become salient is for it to be new. That's a core idea behind Calabresi's fable. He asks students to consider whether they would accept the cost of vehicle travel if it did not already exist. That they say no underscores the very different ways we treat new risks and enduring ones.
I have been thinking about the fable recently because of Covid-19. Covid certainly presents a salient risk: It's a global pandemic that has upended daily life for more than a year. It has changed how we live, where we work, even what we wear on our faces. Covid feels ubiquitous.
Fortunately, it is also curable. The vaccines have nearly eliminated death, hospitalization and other serious Covid illness among people who have received shots. The vaccines have also radically reduced the chances that people contract even a mild version of Covid or can pass it on to others.
Yet many vaccinated people continue to obsess over the risks from Covid — because they are so new and salient.
'Psychologically hard'
To take just one example, major media outlets trumpeted new government data last week showing that 5,800 fully vaccinated Americans had contracted Covid. That may sound like a big number, but it indicates that a vaccinated person's chances of getting Covid are about one in 11,000. The chances of a getting a version any worse than a common cold are even more remote.
But they are not zero. And they will not be zero anytime in the foreseeable future. Victory over Covid will not involve its elimination. Victory will instead mean turning it into the sort of danger that plane crashes or shark attacks present — too small to be worth reordering our lives.
That is what the vaccines do. If you're vaccinated, Covid presents a minuscule risk to you, and you present a minuscule Covid risk to anyone else. A car trip is a bigger threat, to you and others. About 100 Americans are likely to die in car crashes today. The new federal data suggests that either zero or one vaccinated person will die today from Covid.
It's true that experts believe vaccinated people should still sometimes wear a mask, partly because it's a modest inconvenience that further reduces a tiny risk — and mostly because it contributes to a culture of mask wearing. It is the decent thing to do when most people still aren't vaccinated. If you're vaccinated, a mask is more of a symbol of solidarity than anything else.
Coming to grips with the comforting realities of post-vaccination life is going to take some time for most of us. It's only natural that so many vaccinated people continue to harbor irrational fears. Yet slowly recognizing that irrationality will be a vital part of overcoming Covid.
"We're not going to get to a place of zero risk," Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, told me during a virtual Times event last week. "I don't think that's the right metric for feeling like things are normal."
After Nuzzo made that point, Dr. Ashish Jha of Brown University told us about his own struggle to return to normal. He has been fully vaccinated for almost two months, he said, and only recently decided to meet a vaccinated friend for a drink, unmasked. "It was hard — psychologically hard — for me," Jha said.
"There are going to be some challenges to re-acclimating and re-entering," he added. "But we've got to do it."
And how did it feel in the end, I asked, to get together with his friend?
"It was awesome," Jha said


There are really only two human emotions: love and fear.
All other emotions stem from those two basic emotions. Love is unconditional acceptance and the willingness to go beyond oneself for our own benefit (self-love) or the benefit of another. Fear is the absence of love, just as judgment is the withholding of love.
Couples, families, peers in the workplace, community members in neighborhoods … they all express both the dynamic of fear and love in their relationships with one another.
Love comes in two forms, either conditional or unconditional. Either it's offered and received freely and openly, or it's possessive and demanding. Unconditional love is one of the most powerful and healing gifts we give to others (and it fosters inner peace and happiness, as well).
To choose love is to choose from your heart, not just your brain and ego. The heart is one of the most powerful muscles in the body; its electromagnetic field is sixty times more powerful than that of the brain.
There is a concept called "heart coherence", which means being heart focused and centered, being in the thoughts and emotions of acceptance, appreciation, and compassion toward ourselves and others — the body and mind are in alignment and cooperation.
1. Unconditional love helps create a more peaceful world.
Numerous studies show the healing and peaceful power of love. In August 2013, during the height of Syrian conflict over chemical weapons and possible US military involvement, James Twyman, a peace troubadour, went to Syria and Egypt to perform a concert and pray for love and peace. During his time in Syria, he had over 100,000 people from all over the world sending love and prayers for peace. Less than two months after this event, the United Nations averted US military involvement on the issue by signing the Syrian disarmament plan.
James again went into Syria on February 1, 2016 near Isis territory to perform another peace concert, and again invited people from around the globe to send love and pray for peace, through the energetic highway. Several million people from around the world, myself included, participated in a synchronized prayer and meditation with James for peace in that region. We'll see if another miracle "in the name of love" occurs.
2. Love helps boost your spirit.
Choosing unconditional love, acceptance, gratitude, and compassion generates a higher energy within us.
When someone is being judgmental, conditional, and demanding with you, it doesn't feel good. The person's energy is draining and toxic, like they're a vampire sucking the positive energy right out of you.
But when you surrounded yourself with people who are unconditional, accepting, compassionate and positive toward you, your spirit lifts and you usually feel warm and fuzzy inside. You want people like that (and their upbeat energy) around you.
Unconditional love promotes trust and connection with others. It allows more openness and vulnerability in life experiences, so you don't need to hide from yourself or others.
3. Love is our natural instinct.
To love and be loved is a basic human desire. Hearing someone say "I love you," is powerful to the human heart and brain. It puts us in a blissful state. Telling family members and friends that you love them can change your mood and behavior quickly.
The process of falling in love releases the chemical dopamine in the brain to create feelings of pleasure, ecstasy, jealousy or obsession. The brain wiring and chemicals involved with love are also intended to create the healthy bonding attachment needed for both for mating and raising children.
4. Love challenges you to grow into your best self.
Love will push every button, test your values, try every ounce of your patience, challenge every strength, and trigger every wound and weakness. Above all, love is an invitation to freedom and inner peace by freeing your mind from unhealthy attachments and misperceptions.
Choosing love, especially in intimate relationships, offers a pathway to develop a high level of understanding. It elicits the willingness to accept each other as you are and to have compassion towards yourself and others. It helps you find the strength to forgive or reconcile mistakes and differences.
5. Love is the only choice that leads to real happiness.
Love is what makes up the universe, it's what ties all things together, making two parts into one. Love includes, while fear excludes. Unconditional love is the ultimate healer and restorer. To choose love is to say "Yes" to ourselves and to life.
Love is living with an open heart and an expanded mind, which seeks to become the best version of itself, being of service to others, and treat others and our planet with respect and reverence.
Love of self and toward others is what makes the world a more peaceful place. Yes, let's just be love and choose love, because love is truly all there is.

Do This / Film Another week, another great set of free programs at the U. of C. Film Studies Center
Posted By Ben Sachs on 05.13.14 at 04:52 PM
The Inspector and the Prince
In the past year, the University of Chicago Film Studies Center has played host to many of the city's finest film revivals and film-related events. This week brings two more great programs to the center—admission is free for both. On Thursday at 7 PM Three Women (1924), one of director Ernst Lubitsch's first Hollywood productions, will screen from a rare 35-millimeter print. (U. of C. professor Tom Gunning, a brilliant historian and unfailingly enthusiastic lecturer, will introduce the screening, and longtime accompanist David Drazin will perform a live score.) And at 7 PM the following evening the FSC concludes its ongoing series of Chinese opera films with The Inspector and the Prince (2004), reportedly one of the few opera adaptations made in China in the past decade.
When I reported on the opera series a couple weeks ago, I failed to mention that the director of Prince, Zheng Dasheng, will attend the screening and take part in a postshow discussion with Chinese literature professor Paolo Iovene. Also I was unaware two weeks ago that Zheng is the son of filmmaker Huang Shuqin, who directed the previous film in the series, Woman, Demon, Human. (Perhaps Zheng will share stories about that movie as well.) The FSC summary suggests that Prince has stylistic affinities with Demon—like Huang's work, it's said to combine realistic and theatrical devices, including Brechtian alienation effects that reveal how the film is being made as we watch it.
Lubitsch completists generally consider Three Women a minor work (making it, after Bluebeard's Eighth Wife, the second minor Lubitsch to play Hyde Park this week). This also appears to be how moviegoers regarded it in 1924. "This is a work of art so far as the direction is concerned, but the story is weak in comparison," wrote Mordaunt Hall in the New York Times. "Nevertheless we advise picture enthusiasts to see it as there is so much in it that is enjoyable." For what it's worth, this doesn't sound like an impersonal project for Lubitsch. Taken from a novel by Yolande Maree (which is almost as good a name as Mordaunt Hall), the film is a romantic roundelay about a middle-aged socialite, her 18-year-old daughter, and the paramour who comes to fancy them both.

Buster Keaton's five best films 3
Highlights from the filmography of Buster Keaton
By Drew Hunt | 02.15.15


Today's guest blog post comes from my buddy and badass strength coach, Ben Bruno. I recently posted THIS blog highlighting Ben's top four lower body landmine exercises so definitely check that out if you haven't seen it.
This is one of my favorite pressing combos for shoulders and upper chest that also happens to be easy on the joints. Start by performing six band-resisted landmine presses per arm, then go directly into six squeeze presses. This functions are a simple but awesome mechanical drop set whereby the weight remains the same but you switch to an easier variation as you fatigue. Both pressing variations are great not their own, but one issue with landmine presses is that due to the arc of the bar, it gets easier as you approach lockout at the top, and this effect is heighten even more in taller lifters since it becomes more of a horizontal press. Adding band tension works great with the strength curve because band tension increases the higher up you go, so it ends up providing a more even resistance throughout the entire range of motion. Remember that with both variations, the wider your stance, the greater the band tension.
You may have tried single arm landmine presses as a shoulder-friendly alternative to the overhead press, or the regular bilateral landmine press, which is more of a standing incline press to target the upper chest and shoulders. Both exercises are great on their own, but this side-to-side press essentially combines those two moves into it one, giving you the best of both worlds. In one sense it's a unilateral exercise in that you're biasing one side on each rep, but because both arms are still contributing to moving the load, you can use more weight than a single arm press, which in turn means greater overload for the shoulders and chest with very little stress on the joints. Furthermore, bringing the bar down to one side at a time challenges the core like crazy to resist lateral flexion, giving you even more bang for your buck. To take maximal advantage of the core training benefit, keep your form strict, do the reps slowly, and don't let your torso twist or sway as you press.
This is an awesome exercise to work the rear delts and upper back that also really works the core via anti-rotation. You want to set up with your torso close to parallel to the floor, but it's important to make sure to hinge at hips to get into position and keep a flat back rather than bending forward and rounding the lumbar spine. Once you're in the proper starting position, keep everything still except for the working arm. While this is ostensibly a rear delt exercise, it doubles as one heck of a rotary core exercise if you keep strict form. These are very challenging even with an empty bar, but if you want to make it easier you can choke up on the barbell, bend your arm a little bit, and/or use a lighter bar if you have one (a shorter curl bar works well).
This version is probably a bit more user-friendly and safer for the lower back than the unsupported version.
While I call this a lateral raise, it's really a front raise, lateral raise, and rear delt raise all mixed into one.
Start by performing eight staggered-stance landmine presses. Next, drop the weight and do eight lateral raises, then drop the weight again and finish up with eight reverse flies, for a total of 24 reps. Complete all the reps with one arm before switching to the other side. You want to load the bar strategically so that you can move from one exercise right into the next, so the heavier plate(s) will be on the outside with the smaller weight on the inside. It's important to maintain good form throughout the set, so don't rush the reps. This series will fry your shoulders without putting undue stress on the joints, making it an awesome alternative for people who can't overhead press for injury reasons.
Thanks for sharing guys. I've been adding these into clients programs with really good feedback. Gives some awesome variety and very shoulder friendly.
Totally agree! I use it with all my clients. I tell them it's a different type of machine! So much versatility.

Unless they have a personal connection with schizophrenia, most people have a very poor understanding of schizophrenia, what it involves, and how common it is. Most of my schizophrenia clients are surprised to hear that, in the greater Twin Cities area, there are probably around 20,000-30,000 people with schizophrenia. People who don't know a person with the illness often think of schizophrenia as causing violence, multiple personalities, and an inability to function like an adult. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) has done an extensive survey about Americans' understanding of the knowledge, along with a report about what's needed to increase understanding and some video clips outlining the true lives of people with schizophrenia.
As time goes on and more and more mental illnesses come into Americans' understanding, I hope that people affected by the illness and people who help treat the illness take the time to stop and share their stories about people with schizophrenia. I look forward to the day when the vast majority of people understand and accept that it is a treatable illness, that people with schizophrenia are like anyone else in most ways, and that people with schizophrenia, especially when getting the right treatment, can live regular lives in our communities as positive members of society.
Sometimes people with schizophrenia tell me that they have a hard time with small talk. However, people can get better at small talk through learning more about it and practicing it.
"Icebreakers" are questions (or comments) that get a conversation started. They can be very specific if you know the person, like "How's the new apartment?" or "Did you have fun at Jon's bar-b-que?" You can ask any question about the person or their lives, or a general question, as long as it's appropriate (see below).
What do you do?/Where do you work?
(If in school) What classes are you taking? How do you like them?
What do you think of the weather these days?
How was traffic for you today?
Did you do anything fun over the weekend? What was it?
What kind of TV or movies do you like?
Did you see the game on Sunday?
As you read the conversation, notice how Natalie starts the conversation with an introduction and a general question about the weather. Then when Natalie says something about walking her dog in the cold weather, Isaac changes the subject to dogs. Since Natalie had just mentioned her dog, this is a good way to change the subject.
It's important in small talk conversations to talk about topics that everyone is comfortable with. Below is a list of general topics that most people will be comfortable talking about, no matter how well you know each other.
In the conversation between Natalie and Isaac above, they talked about two of these topics, weather and pets.
Remember, small talk is a skill that can be learned. Practice. Ask someone you trust if they are willing to chat with you, and then ask afterward if they have any advice or ideas for how you could do better. A lot of people feel awkward during small talk, not just people with schizophrenia disorders.
Check the blog out for Small Talk Part 2: Keeping the conversation going, on how to show you're interested in a conversation, and for tips on concluding one, Small Talk Part 3: Ending a conversation.
When clients tell me they'd like to have more friends, I ask them first if they have an idea of where they are planning to go to meet new people. If you're not sure about where to meet new people, see part 1 (the previous blog). Once you've figured out where you're going to meet new people, the next step is how you talk with them to get to know them and possibly become friends.
How are you enjoying the weather lately?
Did you catch the latest Vikings game?
I'm new to this group/event. Have you been here before? What's it like?
Some people will talk with you for a while, others will talk for a few minutes and then excuse themselves to go talk with someone else or do something else. Don't worry about the people that don't end up talking very long with you. You are looking for people that you have a connection with, and some people are not a good match for your personality or have their own issues going on. Just move on to the next conversation when someone excuses themselves.
Also, remember that it may take more than just one conversation to get to know someone or be friends with them. Especially in Minnesota, people are slow to feel comfortable with each other.
You'll probably end up having several of these "small talk" conversations before they may be ready to start doing social things outside the group together.
If you think you've made a connection with someone and would like to be friends with them, after having several conversations, ask if you can Facebook friend-request them or email them. Get their email/Facebook address and write it down. Then, a couple of days later, Facebook or email them and ask if they'd like to hang out sometime for coffee or something like that. If you think it might be confused with asking for a date, make sure that you state directly that you're just looking for friendship, nothing more. (More on Dating Relationships in a future blog). When you first ask someone to do something social with you, invite them to do something that will take only a couple of hours or less and that is in a neutral place (don't invite them to your place, for example). Good examples are going for coffee, going out to eat, going to a movie, going bowling, or going to a concert. Try to come up with some interesting things to talk about ahead of time, so you don't have to think about them during the activity.
Be careful about telling someone you don't know well about your illness–it usually works out better to have them get to know you first and then tell them.
Also, keep in mind your own safety when you don't know someone well. Offer to meet them in a neutral place, tell a friend or family member where you're going, don't invite them over to your place or go to their place. Leave the situation if you feel creeped out or threatened.
Remember, you don't have to give more detail than that, especially when you barely know the person.
When you're done with the activity, if you had fun, tell them you enjoyed it and would like to do it again. If you didn't really connect with the person, you need to decide whether you want to give it another chance, or if you'd rather just go your separate ways and meet other new people. Keep in mind that you may have to meet several new people before you find one that is a good personality match with yours. Meeting new people can be hard, but the short-term challenge of talking with new people is definitely worth the long-term benefit of making new friends.
Often clients tell me they'd like to make more friends, but don't know how or where to meet new people. This is a skill you can work on, you can get better at it. Meeting new people isn't always easy, and it can be nerve-wracking, but it's worth it. Also, remember that many people feel nervous around meeting new people, not just people with a schizophrenia disorder.
The first step to meet new people is to go to places or join activities where you are likely to meet people that you have some things in common with. Some people meet new people at work or at a volunteer position, though you may have less time to talk about interests or to socialize at your work/volunteer job. If you aren't working/volunteering or if you don't have things in common with people there, here are some other ideas for places to meet others.
Often, if you have a certain interest or hobby (like old cars or reading or hiking), you can find a social group of people who have the same interest. This is helpful because you then have a built-in conversation topic, since you know the person is interested in the same activity as you are. If you have a computer with internet, you can look these up pretty easily. (If you don't, go to your local library and use their computer for searching). For example, you could Google "classic car festival in Minneapolis" you'll find several helpful links with websites that list dates and locations of these festivals. You can also join MeetUp, which is a free website that lists a huge number of social group by location and interest. MeetUp usually doesn't have any fees or obligation to go if you join and then change your mind.
If you go to church, churches often have social or special-interest groups that meet regularly. There are also lots of volunteer opportunities at most churches, though some are social and others are not.
If you have some extra cash, you could take a class. One type of class would be a Community Education class (which is listed online by county) such as woodworking or learning new computer skills. Another type is a class held at a retail store, like a cooking class at a kitchen store or a craft class at a craft store like Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics. There are also classes offered by drop-in centers and other programs (like Artability and SEED classes in St. Paul and Spectrum ArtWorks in Minneapolis).
Finally, sometimes people meet others that they get along with in support groups for people with mental illness, like those through NAMI, or though a local mental health clinic. The advantage of these groups is that the people in the group already understand what mental illness is. They may have had some similar experiences and will understand what you're going through.
Once you've gone to an event to meet new people, the next challenge is how to get to know them and become friends if you get along. This will be addressed in Meeting New People, Part 2.
What Makes Schizophrenia Symptoms Worse?
This is a question I get a lot. Some people with schizophrenia disorders feel like their symptoms are random and unpredictable. It's true that we can't pinpoint exactly which symptoms are going to be up or down on a specific day, there are things that will usually make them worse. For ways to manage symptoms, see previous blogs. However, if you want to know what NOT to do, keep reading….
Using Alcohol and/or drugs. Over 50% of people with a serious mental illness abuse alcohol or drugs at some point in their lives, and this can really mess with your symptoms. It makes the effectiveness of your meds lower, it makes your emotions fuzzy and numb, and it makes symptoms worse overall. Plus people who are under the influence tend to make poor decisions and be more vulnerable to people taking advantage of them. Alcohol and drugs can make you feel numbed out for a while, but that will be canceled out by the negatives of using.
Ignoring stress. People with schizophrenia disorders are often affected by stress more than people without those disorders. You need to learn about stress management, and use those skills whenever stress comes up. Try to avoid situations that you know will bring you unhealthy stress, such as usign drugs or spending time with unsafe people.
Tinkering with your meds without talking with your doctor. As you know, not every medication affects everyone in the same way. However, if yours aren't working right, talk with your doctor to come up with a better plan. One of the most common reasons for mental health relapses in people with schizophrenia is stopping meds. Your doctor went to many years of school to learn how to figure out which meds might be a good fit, put your trust in him or her and make sure your doctor knows if you've changed your meds.
Not taking care of your physical health. Everyone's mental health is better when they eat right, get regular exercise, get enough sleep, etc. Take care of your body so that your mind is in good shape.
Spending too much time alone in your home. When you're by yourself too much, symptoms can start getting worse without you even realize it. Make sure you get out and about and see people 5-7 times a week. Also, friends can be really helpful for support and keeping symptoms away, even if you aren't talking about your symptoms with them. Just spending time with a good friend helps keep symptoms lower.
Not having any hobbies or daily activities. If you don't have enough to do, symptoms will creep up. With too much time on your hands, it's easy to fall into the pattern of sitting there with symptoms going over and over in your head, getting worse and worse. Having daily activities can keep symptoms lower. Examples include hobbies, work, volunteering, going to a drop-in center, or visiting friends.
Never talking about your problems or stress. Everyone benefits from getting support from other people. Friends, family members, crisis lines, therapist, and social workers can all help you get through tough times, whether it's stress or symptoms getting worse. If you don't tell anyone, no one can help you get better. Talking about your problems with a trusted person is very important.
If these symptoms sound familiar, take action. Get help. Don't listen to the lies depression tells you. Talk to someone—your therapist, psychiatrist, a family member, call a crisis/suicide prevention hotline, or call 911. Don't let depression take another person from us.

Is signing Grundy for seven years too big a risk?
Barty wins third straight Newcombe Medal
December 2, 2019 Marcus Taylor
Barty was considered a lay down misere to win the Newk – awarded annually to the nation's most outstanding elite tennis player and ambassador for the sport – and there was no shock boilover on Monday night.
Also recognised for his role in Barty's remarkable rise and rise since returning to the sport three years ago after a sabbatical was her coach, Craig Tyzzer, who won the coaching excellence performance award.
Stosur, who alongside Barty has one major title to her name after winning the 2011 US Open, was presented with Tennis Australia's spirit of tennis award. Stosur won the first Newcombe Medal nine years ago and again in 2011 and 2012.
Barty has had time off since she headlined Australia's ultimately unsuccessful attempt at winning the Fed Cup in Perth last month. She will start her 2020 season in her home town at the Brisbane International in early January before setting her sights on the Australian Open at Melbourne Park where she will strive to become the first local winner – either male or female – in more than 40 years.

The KLR650 is a great value all-rounder. Here is our Kawasaki KLR650 review. Test by Jeff Ware Photography by Kris Hodgson.
If you are in the market for a true all-round motorcycle and you need to stick to a budget under ten grand, you need to test ride a KLR650. At $8099 + ORC the KLR is a bargain.
What you get for that outlay is a true legend – the mighty KLR has been around for close to 30-years in 650cc form, with the KLR600 first appearing way back in 1984.
The big KLR has proved to be one of Kawasaki's most successful motorcycles ever, with strong sales year on year. What that tells me is clear, that motorcycling in its most fundamental form on a basic trusty bike is one of the most rewarding forms of motorcycling, and I'm clearly not alone.
The KLR650 also has a cult like following with owners groups and forums all over the world. It's well priced, basic and lends itself almost limitlessly to modification and customisation, giving owners a unique bike to live with and, I'd bet, ride daily. This machine is a commuter, adventurer, trailblazer, road tourer and this model is also LAMS approved. It just doesn't get any better!
For people like me, in their early 40s and with four kids to feed, bike spending is bottom of the list for now. That means if I had to pick one bike and one only – it'd be something like a KLR650, which I could do everything on. A proper Universal Japanese Motorcycle.
So what is the KLR650 made of? First of all it is powered by a liquid-cooled 651cc four-valve single-cylinder DOHC four-stroke engine with a five-speed wide ratio gearbox. The engine is fed by a 40mm CV carburettor (remember those things?) and has a transistor ignition, as well as electric start.
The engine puts out, wait for it, 20hp@4500rpm and 40Nm@3000rpm in LAMS form. In unrestricted form in the USA and Canada the bike is 44hp and 50Nm.
The frame is a semi double-cradle, high tensile steel item that features 41mm conventional leading axle forks that are non adjustable and a Uni-Trak rear end with five-way preload adjustment.
There is 200mm of travel available at the front and 185mm at the rear, for those off road stinks, and the front wheel is a nice big 21in spoked item with a 90/90-21 tyre. The back wheel is a spoked 17in with a 130/80-17 road trail tyre, swinging off an alloy swingarm.
The rake angle is a last 28º and there is a whopping 112mm of trail. Stopping power is basic but enough – a 280mm rotor and twin-piston caliper up front and a 240mm rotor with a twin-piston caliper at the back of the machine.
There is a whopping 22L tank on the KLR650, which is brilliant, and the 890mm seat height makes the bike manageable when that tank is full.
There is also a huge rear rack, massive comfy seat for rider and pillion, a big screen and fairing for protection from the weather, hand guards, fork gators and a powerful twin bulb headlight. The alternator is also a high output unit, so heated grips, spotlights and other accessories can be fitted up too.
The basic dash is a gem and I love how easy it is to read it. It features analogue speedo and tacho, water temp, odo and trip. That's it and it's easy to read too.
I lived with the KLR650 for two weeks and loved the bike. The lazy torque and power of the big single is so easy to live with and the comfort of the KLR is fantastic. Honestly, you can ride this bike all day long. It's all too easy to live with.
Being a basic bike and an all-rounder of course means the KLR doesn't excel in any particular area, more that it is competent in many areas. On the road it is smooth, vibe free and stable. The power is plenty for the bike, even in restricted mode, there is enough torque to plod along at a good pace and plenty on tap for passing trucks and cars on the open road.
On the freeway the bike easily sits on 110km/h with plenty in reserve. The engine is a gem and it's a matter of pick a gear, any gear, and open that throttle smoothly and off you go.
The five speed gearbox has good wide ratios suited to the KLR and final gearing, although tall, is pretty spot on for an overall set-up. The brakes are OK but not brilliant, however, with no ABS I think they are a good set-up for the bike, with soft initial bite and requiring a good squeeze to pull up harder. The rear brake is much the same but good for helping cornering control and balance.
On the road the suspension is soft and there is not a lot of damping control in the rear but riding the bike smoothly and with a bit of finesse when opening the throttle or grabbing the brakes keeps the big thumper balanced and there is reasonable grip from the Dunlop Trailmax tyres but edge grip is a little squirmy and I had a few front-end tucks, one ripper that I caught on video!
The KLR loves bumpy country roads where you truly don't feel a bump – which can really make a ride a lot more enjoyable. I had a fantastic day on the KLR riding out to a town called Wollombi in the Hunter Valley, NSW, then taking in some dirt to a place called St Albans before heading back along a road called Wisemans Ferry Road.
It was a great loop on a bike that encourages the rider to relax and take in the scenery.
Off road the KLR is good for fire trails, dirt roads and even some basic trails. It has good ground clearance and it easy to handle. The Trailmax tyres I found pretty average so if you were going to do more off road than on I'd go for a more aggressive off road tyre.
Overall I rate the KLR650 highly and recommend you have a spin on one if you are after a basic, bargain adventure all-rounder.
Engine: Liquid-cooled DOHC 651cc four-stroke single-cylinder.
Wheels/Tyres: 90/90-21 (f), 130/80-17 (r).
Instruments: Analogue speedo, tacho, water temp, odo, trip, warning lights.

Insightful, interesting, and gives you hope in humanity again
Personally, I don't always associate brands with good podcasts—but Fix This is an exception to that. These episodes really connect you with the people AWS is talking to and the causes those people care about. You can tell how invested the speakers are in their respective missions, and the discussions around the technology are easy to understand regardless of your technical expertise level. It's so cool (and frankly, reassuring) to see how these orgs are using tech to make the world a truly better place. I didn't think I'd respond emotionally to stories about tech, but the way they tell these human stories really hits home. If you're interested in tech, sustainability, or the general conversations around humanity and its future, give this a listen!
Annagram22 , 10/21/2020
Is unlistenable a word?
From the hosts presentational style to the dated muzak transitions it feel like the podcast equivalent of listening to an infomercial. The topics are interesting, but the reporting around them is so shallow it feels like the hosts are reading questions based of the bullet points in a press release.
Episodes are short but feel like very long ads for Amazon or Alphabets cloud or data analytics services.

Salt Lake buys blighted motel, seeks affordable housing plan
Published: October 29, 2017 4:00 pm
Say No to BO Mapleton, UT
Oct. 30, 2017 11:04 a.m.
@SMcloud
"Affordable housing" is a hidden term. It doesn't really have anything to do with the housing market and home prices.
"Affordable housing" really means government subsidized apartments for low income/no income people. It's all part of the precious narrative, like "undocumented immigrant."
The idea is to mask the real meaning.
In theory at lest this obfuscation prevents people from asking the obvious question: Why is the taxpayer paying rent for these people? Then they question the whole welfare program and the redistribution of wealth.
It is better to wink and nod and say "affordable housing" instead.
SMcloud Sandy, UT
We need more affordable housing.
Right now the market for 400k and up has more than enough houses and luxury condos sitting vacant. In the affordable range it shrinks right up. This is a step in the right direction.
Tyler McArthur South Jordan, UT
Wow another example of government bureaucrats thinking they know better than everyone else. Glad I don't live in Salt Lake.
1Observer Cottonwood Heights, UT
Affordable housing is really a misnomer. It might be affordable to the people living in it, but for those of us paying for it, the taxpayers, it is anything but affordable. The developers, and landlords end up making a bunch of money while the city leaders pat themselves on the back and tell themselves what a great job they've done. It would be nice to see real affordable housing using shipping containers, 3D printing technology, and other, more affordable building options. What would be even better is a system where smaller developments with a pathway to ownership and a sense of permanancy were integrated into communities and neighbors could mentor the individuals and families and help them better themselves. Housing hundreds of disadvantaged people into the same complex with no integration into the regular community has proven to be a failure across the country for decades. Time to embrace a new model.

What an incredible waste of tax dollars, while i am on the verge of losing my home due to the insane property taxes on it.

This sounds as messed up as the old Soviet Five Year Plans with all sorts of rosy projections about how government bureaucrats and public funds (confiscated from taxpayers) would come up with a glorious solution to make the worker's paradise the envy of all.
Unfortunately, history is littered with the failed attempts by all sorts of governments to do stuff best left to the private sector.
Set the zoning for the property, sell it to the high bidder and let them have at it. In the long run the city, taxpayers and occupants will be a lot better off than letting politicians and bureaucrats dither and squabble and get little or nothing accomplished over many years.

The council is clueless. $4 million equals 5000 months of rent at full price in Salt Lake neighborhoods, and these "leaders" park that money in a stalled project. Do they think there are magic beans somewhere that will turn this property into housing in the next 18 months?
It just illustrates that the whole plan of dissolving the Rio Grande problem is a pipe dream. There is no way their concept of closing Road Home down in June of 2019 could ever work. It was just numbers on a page to make it add up, without any thought of how it would be executed.
It sort of reminds me of the state prison relocation plan. $500 million short and a decade late.
If the public knew the true cost of these things we would never let them do it, but they start cheap and quick until they get their hooks in us. Then they come up with the real plan when it is too late to back out.

Whether or not help you heap the truck or simply pick up the actual dumpster you leased, they'll are aware of the proper last resting position for each item. Occasionally, that can indicate a bequest center or possibly a recycling facility--your rubbish might be somebody else's treasure! That is not the only benefit of working with useless haulers. You'll also help you save all of the time it will take you to push items to the actual landfill or perhaps recycling center yourself. Alternatively, you'll be able to inhale a sigh associated with relief in the event the truck or perhaps dumpster pulls out, knowing that your work is done.

Here's what you need to know about the London Eye, a brilliant way to see the city of London from a unique perspective
The London Science Museum is an incredible place to explore. It's jam-packed with amazing exhibits, many of them interactive, and you can easily spend an entire day there discovering the marvels of the planet and the universe we live in. Founded way back in 1857, it draws an extraordinary 3.3 million visitors every year. If you'd like to discover it for yourself, here's our easyHotel guide to one of the capital's best-loved attractions, the 6th most popular in the whole of the UK.
History and trivia on the Science Museum
From the 1930s to the 1960s, the Science Museum planned a top floor planetarium. But they left it too late, pipped to the post by Madame Tussauds' London Planetarium in 1958.
Where's the really big stuff? The Science Museum holds many of its largest exhibits (such as aircraft) at Wroughton Airfield near Swindon, not open to the public unless you make a special appointment.
The amazing Wright flyer, the world's first heavier-than-air aircraft to actually fly, was on display at the museum for a long time, loaned by Orville Wright in 1928. He refused to donate the craft to the Smithsonian Museum, but it finally returned there in 1948.
The Science Museum puts children at the top of the list and always has. Their first Children's Gallery was opened in 1931, a remarkable place full of cool working models to interact with. There's even more for today's kids to enjoy.
The Science Museum keeps more than 300,000 precious items safe for future generations. 170,000 items not on display are stored at Blythe House in West Kensington.
Stephenson's Rocket is on display here, one of the world's most famous steam engines.
The museum has always been ahead of its time. They were displaying the effects of noise pollution and air pollution as early as the 1930s.
2008 saw the museum creating an exhibit revealing what the world might be like in 2050 and how we will cope with climate change and energy shortages

Characterisation of glycoprotein III from chromaffin granules: association with lipid and interaction with components involved in the processing of prohormones.
Shaw, Simon George

Reference: Thesis (PhD--Biochemistry)--University of Auckland, 1995
Identifier: THESIS 96-046
Chromaffin granules are vesicles from the adrenal medulla that have a specialised role in the regulated secretion of catecholamines and peptide hormones. These subcellular organelles are involved in hormone biosynthesis, storage and secretion. One glycoprotein component of bovine-derived chromaffin granules is GpIII, a homolog of the widely distributed protein clusterin. This glycoprotein has been assigned a number of interesting roles, all related to its protein and lipid-binding properties. In chromaffin granules, GpIII can be found in both the membrane and soluble fractions of chromaffin granule lysate. In the soluble fraction this protein is present as part of high molecular weight aggregates along with glycoproteins H (the endoproteases prohormone convertase 3/1 and prohormone convertase 2) and J/K (carboxypeptidase H). Preliminary studies indicated that lipid was present in these complexes. The aim of this thesis is to further characterise the GpIII-containing aggregates of chromaffin granules. The lipid component of these aggregates was investigated, and found to contribute a significant proportion of the mass. These aggregates were shown to resemble high density lipoprotein particles of ~30nm diameter and to have a protein/phospholipid/cholesterol ratio of 1:0.93:0.08. GpIII was found to bind specifically to cholesterol/cholesterol esters, presumably through interactions of one or more amphipathic α-helical regions within the protein. This association of GpIII with lipids offers an explanation as to why no differences in the protein purified from membranes and the soluble lysate could be determined. The glycoprotein components GpH, J and K are also present in chromaffin granules in membrane-associated and a soluble forms. The mechanism of association of GpJ/K with the GpIII-containing aggregates was investigated to determine the role of a carboxyl terminal amphipathic α-helix in binding. This region is preceded by a pair of basic residues that may represent a putative site for endoprotease cleavage. The presence or absence of this region in CpH from various chromaffin granule fractions, including GpIII-associated GpJ/K was determined. The interactions of the processing enzymes, in particular CpH, with the GpIII aggregate have been investigated. It was shown that while a sequence at the extreme carboxy-terminus could be found in both membrane and soluble pools, this region of CpH was required for its association with GpIII. A model was developed whereby the GpIII aggregate mimics the close association of GpIII with the prohormone processing enzymes present in the membrane of chromaffin granules. Addition of purified recombinant PC3/1 (kex 2-like endoproteases) resulted in increased activity, providing indirect evidence that proteolytic cleavage of the carboxy-terminus of GpJ/K may stimulate activity and release the enzyme from the GpIII aggregate. It is proposed that GpIII-containing complexes mimic interactions occurring between these glycoproteins in the membrane fraction and may therefore have a role in sorting of prohormone processing enzymes. The controlled release of processing enzymes from these soluble aggregates may be important for the regulation of activity.

Gray iron castings are preferred when seeking a durable, low-cost solution, with heat dissipation, and high density. Gray iron has a good fluidity and is easily machined.
Gray iron derives its properties from flake graphite in its microstructure. Its unique attributes include excellent machinability. When the composition of the molten iron and its cooling rate are suitable, the carbon in the iron separates during solidification and forms interconnected graphite flakes. The graphite grows edgewise into the liquid and forms the characteristic flake shape. The properties of gray iron also are influenced by the relative hardness of the metal matrix, which is the iron that surrounds the graphite. Microstructural properties are primarily controlled by the carbon and silicon content of the metal and the cooling rate of the casting.
Gray iron does not have a measurable yield strength, the range for tensile strength is 20,000 psi – 60,000 psi.
The relative ability of a material to absorb vibration is evaluated as its damping capacity. The quelling of vibration by converting the mechanical energy into heat can be important in structures and devices with moving parts. Components made of materials with a high damping capacity, like gray iron, can reduce noise such as chatter, ringing and squealing, and minimize the level of applied stresses.
Gray iron castings are manufactured very easily and have good machinability.

An elderly nursing home resident who fatally strangled his girlfriend, a fellow resident, at their Waterbury facility on Saturday told police he prayed for God to stop him, according to his arrest warrant.
Autumn Lake Healthcare patient John Jensen, 81, told detectives he asked God to intervene before he wrapped a scarf around the neck of his wheelchair-bound partner, Patricia May, 76, in his room at the nursing home. May was already unresponsive when Jensen's roommate noticed him choking her and called for help, the warrant said.
May died Sunday at Waterbury Hospital. Jensen, arrested Saturday, has been charged with murder and strangulation and his bail set at $1.5 million.
In his statement to police, Jensen said he "felt he was being taken advantage of" throughout his dating relationship with May, and began thinking about killing her earlier on Saturday after they had a disagreement.
When the elderly woman came to his room at about 4 p.m., he stood behind her wheelchair. When she asked him what he was doing, Jensen told her not to worry, the warrant said.
Then, he strangled her until his roommate, who'd been on the other side of a curtain, noticed blood on the floor — one of May's ears began to bleed due to the strangulation — and called for help.
An Autumn Lake supervisor who responded to the room told officers he found Jensen holding the scarf around May's neck, "clearly yanking it on purpose," with "a look on his face like he was determined to do what he was doing," according to the warrant.
After staff intervened, Jensen stepped back, saying "she had to die, she was evil," another employee told officers.
Jensen was sitting alone in a common area of the nursing home when police arrived. He "did not speak and held his head low" as officers escorted him from the building and into the back of a police cruiser, the warrant said.
The nursing home, at 2817 North Main St., is described on its website as a short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility.
The home has received generally above-average marks in health inspections conducted for the federal Department of Health and Human Services. Inspections over the last three years found no deficiencies related to abuse and neglect or to nursing and physician services, and minimal problems with quality of life issues.
The home is part of a network of independently owned facilities that operate under the Autumn Lake name in Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland.
