I am a graduate of the University of Dayton where I received my Masters of Science in Counseling. I have over 20 years clinical experience in a variety of settings including office and community based settings, emergency services, and administrative roles. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages. I believe we all have the power to change if we are willing to work for it and our life issues do not define us.


Guatemala is in mourning and urgently needs help.
The Volcán de Fuego (Volcano of Fire) in Guatemala—just 30 miles from the capital—erupted on Sunday leaving more than 1.7 million people affected, over a hundred people dead, including several children, and at least 200 missing, authorities said.
The eruption, the second this year according to the National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction in Guatemala (Conred), occurred around 4 p.m. on Sunday, sending lava, toxic gases and large plumes of smoke that reached over 10,000 meters in height, to the populations near the volcano and covering everything with ash in a perimeter of at least 20 kilometers, with probability that the wind moved it to a greater distance.
Most of the victims are from the village of El Rodeo, in the region of Escuintla, on the slopes of the volcano, authorities said.
The government, lead by President Jimmy Morales, declared a state of emergency and the National Coordinator for Disaster Reductions (Conred) said that alerts at red level continue to be active in several municipalities.
On the East End, where there are a large number of Guatemalans, the news has shocked the community. Many have desperately called their families asking if they were okay, others have not yet managed to locate their family and friends, while others are mourning the tragedy.
"You feel your heart breaking, whether you're Guatemalan or not, if you see those terrible images, your heart shatters seeing what these people are going through," Patchogue resident Rafael Reyes said.
Since Monday, dozens of people, of all nationalities, have mobilized throughout the county to help the victims and get the help Guatemala desperately needs.
"They are ready to give the support to Guatemalans, who sadly lost all or part of their families, and it's a really difficult time that Guatemala is going through. There's nothing more to do but thank the Guatemalans who set an example of effort, work, dedication, energy and of course, now it's the time to unite," Guatemalan Consul in New York Pedro Tzunun said.
Social media has been key to spread the word and several collection centers have already been designated for donations in Suffolk County. There are also several GoFundMe campaigns and donations to charity organized to help victims. A radiothon is also scheduled for this Sunday at La Fiesta 98.5FM, where live DJ's will be raising awareness and telling people where to go to make donations.
In Riverhead, most of the Riverhead Soccer League teams have players from different areas of Guatemala and when they heard what happened, they asked the president, Edgar Villafranco—who has previous experience organizing aid campaigns— to help coordinate something in order to aid the victims.
"Many of the teams approached me, and through soccer and our community here, we have decided to raise funds to help those affected [by the volcano]," said Villafranco, who is from El Salvador, and plans to personally travel to Guatemala this Thursday.
There, he will meet with Luis Fernando Cruz, who was a resident of Riverhead for many years and keeps in touch with "La Liga de Fútbol de Riverhead" (Riverhead Soccer League).
Cruz and Villafranco said that shipping the donations would be too expensive, which is why Villafranco will travel with extra luggage and will use the money they raised to buy products directly in Guatemala or El Salvador after assessing the needs of people in the ground. Then Villafranco said they will go to deliver all the donations directly to the shelters themselves.
But first, said Villafranco, the plan is to raise the necessary funds.
On Saturday there will be a barbecue at his home in Flanders, where everyone is invited. The food, which will be sold by the plate, will be donated by Quick Stop Deli.
On Sunday they plan to receive donations and collect more funds on the soccer field, located at Stotzky Park. They will also raffle a new Iphone 8, ticket will cost $20, and new soccer cleats, ticket will cost $10.
Among the many people who are contributing, Reyes and his wife Angelica, Guatemalan residents of Patchogue, have coordinated with Eric Arias, owner of Transportes Arias, William Pinto, founder of Willie's Appliances and the radio station La Fiesta 98.5FM, a radio marathon for this Sunday.
All donations collected at the different collection centers, from Southampton, Hampton Bays and Riverhead to Ronkonkoma and Brentwood, will be transported by truck to a container that will leave for Guatemala between June 19 and 24, Reyes said.
Once in Guatemala, the nonprofit organization Sergio Paiz Andrade Foundation, will help with the distribution and logistics, said Reyes.
"When you are far away you just want to go help as soon and as fast as possible and do something, but the only thing that we can do is organize and help in some way for these victims that have been so terribly affected and have lost almost everything," he said.
Reyes said that if necessary, he and his wife Angelica will travel to Guatemala when the container arrives there to help with the coordination and other procedures.
"Our priority is that everything is delivered to the shelters directly, we want to make sure that donations get delivered where they're supposed to," said Reyes.

Q: Download file from FTP server directly to browser with PHP ftp_get() downloads a file from an FTP server and saves the file to local server.
So when I want to download a file from an FTP server to my browser, the file will first be downloaded to the local server and then downloaded to the browser.
This causes double bandwidth. Is there a way to download a file from an FTP to browser directly?

A: ftp_get() or curl or any PHP script will require opening a stream to the source, and passing it the client browser. You still use 2 streams, resulting in double the bandwidth usage. The only way to avoid this is to link to or have the end-user collect the file directly.
I am assuming that you're collecting the file from a private FTP location, passing the credentials, and you do not want the end-user to have these or they do not know them. Yet for them, it should be a seamless download.
Not a lot of good ways to do this. In my mind, making an FTP Client connection via Flash in the end-users browser is one way. You could dynamically create flash or have the flash collect the credentials (encrypted), and then perform the connection to the FTP Server from the end-users browser (after decrypting the credentials) and download the file directly to the end-user.

A: All you can do is to redirect the client browser to the ftp:// URL. That's doable when the FTP site allows an anonymous read access. Most (all) web browsers support FTP natively.
Depending on a workflow, you either redirect from the PHP code:
header("Location: ftp://download.example.com/file.pdf");

On you directly use ftp:// URL in the HTML code:
Download

If anonymous read access is not allowed, you'd have to include the credentials in the URL, what you probably do not want to.
ftp://username:password@download.example.com/file.pdf

This is quite important to me, because as many others I have spent hours configuring i3 and adjusting it to my needs. And I feel pretty comfortable now with tiling manager.
If you ask me, it is much cleaner and easier to understand. There were few other differences that make sway much cleaner and easier to work with.
There was another main requirement. Currently as of time of writing Polybar does not support Wayland so the bar panel had to be replaced. I went with Waybar. It's easy to configure, it is in active development and you can even style it with CSS :D but as you can see from the screenshot above I was actually removing some parts of the CSS to make the panel more minimal.
The big problem with moving to sway may be to some, that not all applications or drivers work on Wayland yet. I am personally using Intel graphics that support Wayland, and all my development programs work. So appart from compton compositor nothing was stopping me from moving. I eventually decided to go without drop shadows and transparrency, but those features I belive will come in quite soon with Wayland and sway development.
Here are dotfiles for interested ones.


It was earlier reported today that Ateke Tom alongside some other Niger Delta Militants endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari's 2019 re-election bid. Tom's denial is coming a few hours after that of another Niger Delta warlord, Government Ekpemukpolo alias Tompolo.
"My attention has been drawn to an online publication in some media outlets, Premium Times in particular that, I, king Ateke Micheal Tom, Sekuro of Niger Delta, Amanyanabo of Okochiri kingdom has endorsed the candidature of President Buhari.
I also used this medium to draw the attention of Nigerians and the international community to be aware of the Nigeria army's unprovocative intimidations and militarization in my kingdom.


Cupcakes and Sunshine: ABC's of Me!
It's humpday! Woohoo! We are halfway through the week! Almost there! This afternoon, I was reading Tristan and Kristin's blog and came across a super fun post that I absolutely loved! I decided to do the ABC's of me as well, so you could get to know me a little better.
A. age: 21, but I often am told I look much younger. I am currently in the process of leading a middle school small group at my church and all of my middle schoolers look older than me!
B. birthday: October 12th. Columbus day!
C. color: this is a TOUGH one. probably because I win the "Most Indecisive" award. I like the color yellow because it is happy and bright, but I love wearing shades of blue and blue makes me so happy as well! I think those are my top two.
D. dogs: Vizlas and Chocolate labs. Can't wait for the day I have a schedule where I can spend time with a pup and adopt! I don't follow many animal instagram accounts, but @VizlasofInstagram has stolen my heart.
E. experience: Italy. I started a baking business in high school- Sweet Travels- so that I could travel abroad. The travel bug continues to bite me each day and I am wondering if I should start baking again. Italy was a dream but I would love to visit Paris, London, Greece, Spain, China, and Japan!
F. fear: I have emetophobia. The fear is real y'all.
G. guilty pleasures: 19 Kids and Counting. LOVE this show. And the Kardashians. Yes. My two favorite shows are the most contradicting of shows. But I can't get enough of either of them. Oh! and milk chocolate chips. by the handful. Currently have a fist-full.
H. height: 5'2. But maybe 5'3? I think I have grown an inch since college. crazy, right?
I. injuries: I've done a lot of crazy things (I cheered for many years!), but I have never actually broken a bone. I bruised my tailbone once while cheering in high school. But I think that is the extent of my injuries. I fall down the stairs weekly though. And stub my toes often. Do those count?
J. job: Oh wow! This question has been on my mind SO much lately! I am currently praying for a job I LOVE. It is my dream job to be a mom and to have my own business while working from home, but until then I am hoping to get a few internships up my sleeve. I would love to intern this spring while going to school and possibly intern in the Atlanta or Greenville area this summer.
K. kids: I have no kids, but I want a house full some day!
L. love: My roommates are currently the loves of my life right now! Hahaha! I love their hearts, their encouragement, and their selflessness. They inspire me each and every day!
M. most missed: my sweet cousins! I traveled to South Carolina last weekend to visit my cousins and Jackson-the newest baby in our family.
The baby fever is real! I can't wait to hold him again soon.
N. nicknames: my family has called me Haley Boo or just "Boo" since I was little, but I often go by Hales, Haley Bug, and the occasional Haley-Mae.
O. one wish: to go to Disney World. Sometimes when college gets busy, applications get tough, and life just seems difficult...I close my eyes and pretend I'm a kid again at Disney World.
R. restaurant: I have a LOT of restaurants I love. I think restaurants are my love language. So here's my list: True Foods Kitchen, the Last Resort, Marietta Diner, Mon Amie, Zoe's Kitchen, Flip Burger, J. Christopher's, Panera Bread, Tacqueria Tsunami, Big City Bread, La Dolce Vita, Tupelo Honey, Flying Biscuit Cafe, Which Wich, The Cheesecake Factory, Luna's Living Kitchen, Fern, to name a few.
S. siblings: I have a half-brother, half-sister, and stepbrother but I grew up as an only child. And now I live with 6 of my bestfriends and we are so close I'd consider them my sisters.
T. time of day: I LOVE the morning time. Sometimes I wake up at 6am so that I can soak up the peaceful moments before the day begins and have some quiet time with the Lord. I love knowing that each day is a new day and a new start!
U. unusual habits: I drink a LOT of Honest Green Tea. I have to make my bed in the morning, and if I don't, I make it before getting in the bed at night. I like to have my back popped for me a lot. I take melatonin everynight to help me sleep. I take surveys through ePoll surveys online to earn giftcards. I eat peanutbutter with a spoon straight from the jar.
V. vehicle: I have a silver Camery. Her name is Pearl. She is great.
W. worst pet peeve: When waiters/waitresses at restaurants pack your leftovers FOR you! I don't know why this irks me so much, and I know they are being helpful...but I can pack my own leftovers. Sometimes I may not want certain leftover items in the box, and I want to arrange my food so its nice and pretty for the next day.
X. x-rays: I think my teeth- for braces and wisdom teeth- are the only things that have been x-rayed. Unless a CT scan counts as an x-ray? I had one of those a couple summers ago.
Y. yummy food you make: Magic Cookie Bars. They are my favorite thing. And I rarely make them because I have ZERO self control around them. I used to lick the sweetened condensed milk can while making them. Gross, right? LOVE that stuff. If someone would like to make a pan of Magic Cookie Bars and then ration them out to me so I still have self control, I would be forever grateful!
Z. zoo animal: Sloths. One time at a job interview I was asked... if I could be an animal, which one would I be. It was the most random question that I hadn't prepared for. I said the first thing that came to mind: A CheetahSloth. What?! Yes. A CheetahSloth. I told the interviewer that I would have to combine two animals- a cheetah because I could get things done quickly...and a sloth. So that I could relax and rest when needed. When the interview was over, I felt kind-of blehhh about my answers. I sent the interviewer a "Thank You" email for allowing me the chance to come in and learn more about the business and to interview with him. I then attached a "CheetahSloth" that I had created on photoshop. You know...a cheetah body with a sloth head in a forest of trees. Well, I got the job the next day! Sloths are my goodluck charms. and get me jobs.
I love it! We have a surprising amount in common :) Italy is my next trip, any suggestions are welcome!
After reading this i've decided we should be friends. I am from the Marietta area and the Marietta Diner is definitely a good choice. Also The Flying Biscuit is one of my favs; anywhere that specializes in breakfast foods is a winner in my book.
Also your bakery Sweet Travels sounds amazing. I've been dreaming up of a way where I can get paid to travel the world and learn how to cook foods from different places. You should check out this cookbook A Suitcase and A Spatula. It is one of my favorites, and if you like cooking and traveling you will like it too.
the Marietta diner is my favorite!!! yes we do have lots of similarities!

There's a place really close to Rochester that you need to add to your list of places to go this spring: The Aspelund Peony Gardens and the Aspelund Winery in Kenyon. They're technically two different places but they're only feet apart. You can easily enjoy a glass of wine while admiring the beautiful flowers!
In the spring and summer you can check out the gardens and, if you're a gardener, in the fall you can purchase peonies from them to plant yourself. They have 65 different varieties! If you want to order your peonies ahead of time, you can do that too.
And we can't forget to mention the fact that the patio at the Aspelund Winery looks so relaxing! Grab a glass of wine, head out to the patio and enjoy the amazing scenery. The winery also sells bottles of wine so you can buy a bottle of your favorite!

Move by Pregnancy Help Center angers local abortion clinic
Dave Andrusko
A Hand of Hope Pregnancy Resource Center wants to move next door to A Preferred Women's Health Center
What would "worry" an abortion clinic? Dirty instruments? Ill-informed women whom they speed-walk through the abortion "procedure"? Unannounced visits by state health officials? Requirements that when there is a botched abortion, the abortionist have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital?
No, to the first two, yes to the last two.
But, in some ways, the "worse" news may be that a crisis pregnancy center is about to locate near the abortion clinic. What a downer! Some panicky women may "get away."
Such is the case with A Preferred Women's Health Center, in Raleigh, North Carolina. According to the Raleigh News & Observer, A Hand of Hope Pregnancy Resource Center currently has space less than a mile away but wants to move its office into a house it recently bought.
But for them to move in, the city would have to rezone the land "to allow for commercial use," according to reporter Paul A. Specht.
At the earliest, the City Council could review the request June 7. Prior to that, probably on May 10, the planning commission is expected to review the rezoning request and make a recommendation to the City Council.
The house is next door to the Preferred Women's Health Center abortion clinic and they are hopping mad. Specht reports
"Abortion is not the right choice for everyone, but everyone has the right to make that choice. Hand of Hope has had a location directly across the street for years – this move is strictly an intimidation tactic," clinic owner Lois Turner said in the statement.
"The outcome of this re-zoning proposal will not affect any individual's personal beliefs. However, if granted, it will cause disruption and difficulties for not only our business, but for our neighbors as well," Turner said
Tonya Baker Nelson is the founder and executive director of A Hand of Hope Pregnancy Resource Center. According to Specht, she issued a statement in which she wrote.
"Our greatest compliment is when the women we serve refer their friends to us. This includes women who actually do choose to end their pregnancy. …
"Hand of Hope eagerly anticipated occupying their recently acquired property beside A Preferred Women's Health Center to educate men and women that parenting, parenting through adoption and abortion are their three choices," she continued. "In almost eleven years of operation, Hand of Hope has yet to meet a single woman who did not regret her past abortion."
Nelson also told the local CBS affiliate, WNCN-TV
"I don't think it will cause any issues because I think one thing we can agree to pro-choice proponents and pro-life proponents, can agree on is that you do have a choice in your pregnancy. I think that's some common ground we can agree to."
Last week Nelson also informed west Raleigh residents week "that her organization won't allow people to use their land next to the clinic for protesting."

Yankees get into the e-sports game
The New York Yankees are investing in competitive video gaming, acquiring a stake in Echo Fox, the e-sports franchise owned by former NBA champion Rick Fox.
The investment is a part of a deal between the Yankees and Vision Esports, an investment vehicle set up earlier this year that contains Echo Fox; Twin Galaxies, a stats and rankings company; and Vision Entertainment, which produces e-sports video content.
The Major League Baseball team will receive a stake in all three, the Yankees said in a statement. Terms of the investment weren't released.
The Yankees join a growing list of big-time sports teams buying into the rapidly expanding e-sports industry, where revenue is expected to pass $1 billion in the next few years, according to Newzoo, an e-sports analysis firm. Traditional sports owners, media companies and sponsors have rushed to gain a foothold as the market continues to grow.
Founded by the former Los Angeles Lakers player in January 2016, Echo Fox has 10 teams competing in titles such as Riot Games Inc.'s League of Legends, Warner Bros.' Injustice 2, Nintendo Co.'s Super Smash Bros. and Bandai Namco's Tekken 7.
Riot in the next few weeks is set to announce which 10 teams will be given permanent slots in its North American League of Legends series, an organization with set franchises, revenue sharing and a players association. Echo Fox will be awarded one of those highly-coveted slots, according to ESPN, a spot that costs $10 million.
The Yankees are valued at $3.7 billion, according to Forbes, making them the second most valuable sports franchise in the world, behind the Dallas Cowboys football team. Other Yankees investments include New York City Football Club, the Major League Soccer franchise that plays at Yankee Stadium; and Legends Hospitality, a stadium-management company created in 2008.

Professional Career Salvaged

Introductory comment
One of the clinics where he was an inpatient, having psychological treatment, as well as medication, was a famous institution the name of which would be known to every psychiatrist in America. Incredibly — he obtained his own clinical notes subsequently — when they failed to improve him with their medication treatment, they blamed him for being uncooperative, and 'sabotaging his own therapy', and invoked the same kinds of judgemental comments concerning his personality, as Chestnut Lodge had done with Dr Osheroff. In this day and age, I find that almost unbelievable, but that is the extraordinary psychological attitude that is commonly invoked by doctors, who deny their own therapeutic incompetence, and project their failure on the patient (Freud's egregious legacy dies hard).
NB. I advised this gentleman to increase the Parnate unusually rapidly because I could tell, from the other side of the world, that he was quite likely to succeed in killing himself if he did not improve 'PDQ' [pretty damned quickly].
His own story
'I am a working professional in my forties, and completed several years of postgraduate education. I experienced my first episode of incapacitating clinical depression in my 20s which resulted in about 3 weeks of inpatient treatment, followed about 10 years later with another episode lasting almost a year, for which I took 6 months off work. This second episode rather miraculously (at the time) responded to a short course of ECT.
Now, another decade after that, I had relapsed into yet another agitated clinical depression, and after a year or so of various intense and wholly unsuccessful treatments I felt I'd reached the end of the line. Agoraphobic and practically housebound, I'd spend all of each waking day in frenzied pacing back and forth between my dining room and kitchen, my mind clouded in a nonfunctioning fog of regret, indecision, and self-deprecation. I was unable to read, listen to music, watch TV, or even sit still for that matter; I was consumed with how productive and functional I once was, and how it seemed things would never be that way again.
It seemed like I'd tried everything the psychiatric establishment had to offer for the treatment of depression. During the year, I'd had 3 separate rounds of ECT, which had been curative in an agitated depression 10 years prior, but failed to have any positive effect this time around despite 38 sessions total of mostly bilateral ECT, which seemed to have wreaked havoc on my memory and cognition. I'd also undergone 40+ sessions of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), 5 sessions of IV ketamine, and dozens of medication trials. I'd taken, for various lengths of time, duloxetine, venlafaxine, aripiprazole, olanzapine, clonazepam, escitalopram, quetiapine, Lyrica, lamotrigine, triazolam, risperidone, Pristiq, Brintellix, methylphenidate ER, mirtazapine, citalopram, diazepam, alprazolam, loxapine, lurasidone, EMSAM patch, clonidine, chlorpromazine, clomipramine, hydroxyzine, tizanidine, nefazodone, buprenorphine, bupropion, temazapam, Phenibut, and cannabis in various forms.
Each medication in turn brought worse anxiety, agitation, or mental clouding, or simply didn't work. I did take small doses of benzodiazepines (clonazepam, lorazepam, etc.) once or twice a day, which might help the anxiety somewhat for 2-4 hours; higher doses would merely leave me dazed and drowsy and I was terrified of dependence; it only added to my discouragement that I was probably already dependent anyway after all the months of taking it.
Between January and April of 2016 I'd also been hospitalized at 4 different facilities, once for a high-end 6-week program where each day was filled with group therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, various other group activities, meditation, yoga, and individualized psychiatry and psychotherapy visits, none of which resulted in much improvement, culminating in fact in a transfer to an actual hospital where 2 weeks of ECT were performed. There was actually some improvement after these sessions, but I quickly and fully relapsed within 7-10 days afterwards.
By April I'd had several months of self-destructive impulses to go along with the increasing agitation and despondency; I'd made many attempts with a noose I'd fashioned out of an electrical cord but found I was just unable to let go completely … and my final thoughts just before losing consciousness seemed to always be of my parents, whereupon I would release the pressure and inhale deeply. Sometimes I'd spend 30-45 minutes repeating this process, each time with the same result. Finally, I drove to the local firearms store and even in my completely flat, depressed, suicidal state, discovered that obtaining a gun was shockingly easy. In a daze, I bought a pistol and later returned to pick it up after the waiting period, and early one morning at home prior to a scheduled ECT (it was ~5AM) I loaded it and played around with it and aimed it at myself from various angles and then, without thinking, cocked it; as soon as I did that I decided I wasn't going to go through with it then and there but that I had no idea how to un-cock the gun … I stood up and placed it on the bed and suddenly it fired loudly in a cloud of black smoke and light, fortunately in a direction away from me and toward the sliding glass door, leaving a clean round bullet hole in a vertical blind. I heard my friend, who had arrived to bring me to ECT, frantically running up the stairs toward my room, calling out my name, and I quickly put the gun in the nightstand drawer. When she reached me, she later said, what she saw was entirely not what she expected to see: me standing at the side of the bed, looking distraught, but alive.
In a trembling voice she asked what happened, to which I could only reply that I didn't know. Pushing aside the vertical blind with the bullet hole revealed a large spider's web of cracked glass with pieces randomly falling off; suddenly the entire section crumbled to the ground, followed by an inflow of crisp early morning air. She asked me where the gun was, and said I needed to give it to her; I told her I wasn't sure, and that I wanted to keep it. I pleaded with her not to tell anyone about it; she said she wasn't sure what she was going to do, as she was still in a state of shock. Needless to say, we did not make it to ECT that day, and it's hard to believe but I did do two more outpatient ECT sessions later that week before finally ending the ECT as it obviously was not helping.
I struggled along, barely hanging on for the next two weeks with my only social interaction being my friend who would come often to see me and keep me company for limited periods of time, as she had throughout my illness. We decided that I really ought to tell my outpatient psychiatrist about the recent incident, and so at my next visit with him, in my deeply despondent state I told him about accidentally shooting the gun off in my room, whereupon he said I needed to give the gun to somebody immediately or he would call the police, citing legal obligations and saying I was mentally unstable and a danger. I told him I would give the gun to my friend and she would call him to confirm; after I got home I was deciding how to proceed when my cellphone rang – it was the police and they were outside my place.
As soon as I went outside they handcuffed me and explained that my psychiatrist had called them and told them I had a gun and was potentially suicidal, but reassured me that I was not under arrest. I was brought back upstairs to my room where I showed them where the gun and ammunition were; these were both confiscated. They then looked through my drawers and shelves and while there was nothing else to find, I was told that I would be brought to a yet another psychiatric facility as a 5150-involuntary patient, to which I expressed my sincere belief that this would only probably make things worse, to no avail.
So, that night I was driven in handcuffs in the back of police car to a locked ward at a mental health facility about 3-4 miles away; my experience there, while better than at the previous facility in March, was mostly unpleasant and filled with anxiety and despondency; the psychiatrists there were no less baffled than anyone else as to what I could try next and at some point there I was even on a trial of Saphris (asenapine), an atypical antipsychotic, as monotherapy for my suicidal agitated depression, which, looking back, would never, ever have worked. But regardless I stopped after two days due to severe worsened anxiety and insomnia, after which they tried giving me Vyvanse, paroxetine, and finally Brintellix (vortioxetine), on which I was discharged after two weeks in the hospital, on May 6, 2016.
I tried my best to tolerate the Brintellix and took it for almost two weeks, with questionable change in depression, but constant and increasing nausea, belching, brain fog; my body felt like it was on fire when I tried to lie down, and my body kept twitching furiously. I just couldn't continue it, and stopped around May 20. The next week consisted of me desperately trying to self-medicate with 2 other antidepressants, literally spending 2-4 hours each morning deciding between taking venlafaxine again or a small dose of escitalopram, but with increased anxiety either way; I also tried taking some Concerta, a long-acting form of Ritalin, which I had been prescribed earlier in the year but had never taken. This did help the mood one day but the next day the despondency seemed even worse. Then, I saw on an internet message board that some people had anecdotal improvement in their depressions with Suboxone, and went to see my psychiatrist, who said he would be willing for me to try a tiny dose of buprenorphine, which is the opiate portion of suboxone, with the knowledge that opiate addiction was a possible outcome, if I were to stay on it for more than a couple of weeks or so.
So, he gave me a prescription for buprenorphine buccal formulation, which was one patch to the inner cheek twice a day; not only was it not covered by my insurance, it was not carried in stock by any of the pharmacies in the area so it had to be ordered; i picked it up several days later at $300 for 50 doses and started with the first cheek dose before I got home from the pharmacy. No effect whatsoever. The next 2-3 doses had no effect either, other than giving me the feeling that I was heading down the road to opiate addiction. My psychiatrist suggested I increase the dose up from 1 dose twice a day to 2 doses twice a day, and I took that once I believe.
It was at this time that my friend told me she had scheduled a consultation for me with a psychiatrist in Beverly Hills, one she had been referred to because "he's not afraid of treatment-resistant depression." I was sure there was no point in going to this since 1) it was unlikely there was anything left to try, 2) this was at least an hour away with traffic and it seemed absurd that I would be able to follow up with a psychiatrist so far away, and 3) the initial consultation was a week away and it was doubtful I would make it that long anyway. But I did and when the morning of the appointment arrived my friend gave me a final chance to decline going, and finally with great reluctance I agreed to at least to go see what he had to say. So she drove us there through the sludge of traffic (with a terrible head cold she'd had for several days, I might add) and as we waited in the psychiatrist's waiting room I stood, sat, got up, paced, sat, paced, in my usual agitated fashion. Finally, he called us into his room and invited me to tell my story; after I had spoken for about 10 minutes he suddenly stated that what I would need to do would be to stop the buprenorphine immediately, and begin a dopaminergic antidepressant like Wellbutrin or nortryptiline. I explained I'd taken the Wellbutrin before, with severe anxiety as a result, but he said he thought that instead of Wellbutrin (bupropion hydrochloride) I should take a newer form called Aplenzin (bupropion hydrobromide), as it had less associated anxiety due to the bromide group. Finally, if this didn't help, the next step, he said, would be another MAO inhibitor. I had used the EMSAM patch in the past, but he felt strongly that I would benefit from one I had never heard of, called Parnate.
Aplenzin turned out to be impossible to find at any pharmacy anywhere, and no pharmacy was interested in ordering it unless I committed to paying for it – a reasonable request except it wasn't covered by insurance and would cost $1200 for a 2-week supply! And the likelihood it would be tolerable for more than a few doses seemed low given my previous reaction to Wellbutrin. Plus I had just spent $300 on the buprenorphine, of which I only took 3 days-worth of before stopping. So, after speaking to the psychiatrist I started another trial of regular Wellbutrin instead of the Aplenzin. This lasted one day as I was overcome by severe nausea and headache in addition to the increased agitation and anxiety I'd previously had with it.
I called the psychiatrist again and he said it was time for an MAO inhibitor, "a real one, not EMSAM," and again recommended Parnate, saying it would probably work faster than the other option, Nardil. "Two or three weeks," he said.
So, I set upon the internet to research Parnate and what little information was available suggested it was rarely used anymore due to the typical MAO-I concerns (food and drug interactions), and was felt to likely increase agitation and anxiety due to its amphetamine-like structure; furthermore I discovered that it is currently FDA approved only for "Depression Without Melancholic Features," characterized by things like sleeping too much, weight gain, and ability to be 'cheered up' by positive events – none of which I had. In fact, for my "subtype" of depression – "melancholic" depression, characterized by complete inability to find pleasure in things, lack of mood reactivity to positive events, agitation, guilt, etc. — Parnate appeared to be contraindicated.
Other than this, there appeared to be practically no useful or encouraging information available. While researching, however, I happened upon an intriguing website called psychotropical.com, where an entire section was devoted to dispelling many of the prevailing notions regarding MAO-I usage; the author, an Australian psychiatrist named Dr. Ken Gillman, felt strongly that not only are MAOIs quite safe and effective for all kinds of depression – whether "atypical" or "melancholic" or "psychotic" etc. — but also that they are vastly underused for reasons borne out neither by the available research nor by his clinical experience, which included many hundreds of patients he had treated through the years. Also, there were several essays providing evidence that the "modern" pharmacologic framework for depression treatment is extremely flawed, especially in its reliance on medications such as the SSRIs and Remeron (mirtazapine).
Finally, there was a portion of the website where he described depression as a sort of "mental anemia," akin to, say, an iron-deficiency anemia, where tactics such as increasing one's physical activity, going running, thinking more positively, etc, were likely to be counterproductive if not impossible as they did not address the underlying biochemical issues at root – a description I could definitely relate to.
Along with the website's informational resources, Dr. Gillman also included his contact information, including how to reach him via Skype if requested. Soon enough I was videoconferencing with him, from my location in USA to his in Australia; he listened patiently to my tale of woe and my numerous questions and hesitations about MAO-I's, and stated that he did feel that Parnate would likely be helpful, although the dosage would need to be increased as quickly as tolerated to a level that would produce the desired biochemical effect (inhibition of monoamine oxidase) – and he related that the majority of psychiatrists nowadays, whether in the U.S., Australia, or elsewhere, likely did not have enough experience with the MAOI's to properly escalate the dosage as a result of the focus on "newer" therapies such as SSRI's, SNRI's, etc. during their training. But he encouraged me nonetheless to obtain a prescription from my psychiatrist and if needed he could help titrate the dosage, which he felt would need to be at least 40-50mg a day to be effective.
He also agreed to speak separately with my friend and with my family, and offered them encouragement that there was a good chance the Parnate would be beneficial, probably within two or three weeks if I could hang on a while longer.
So, I returned to my psychiatrist and discussed the possibility of trying Parnate, of which he was willing (as we had tried just about everything else), though he did think it would merely worsen the agitation and thereby be intolerable; with this in mind he prescribed 5mg twice a day, to be increased every 2 weeks as tolerated.
Dr. Gillman checked in with me via Skype nearly every day at first, and reiterated that the dosage needed to be higher and also increased faster, and to this end suggested fairly rapidly titrating the dosage to 40mg a day over the course of about a week — in fact, he had found in his experience that when the correct dosage was reached, a particular pattern of blood pressure readings would occur, and at 40mg a day my blood pressure readings, as he predicted, were indicative of having reached this point.
At that time, after the first week, I would say that I felt something positive and different, and though the anxiety and agitation were not necessarily that much improved, they were definitely not any worse; in addition, the suicidal ideations seemed to be decreased. However, my blood pressure readings were quite labile, with systolic readings in the 180-200 range followed by 80-90 range readings; in addition, there was a distinct sensation of feeling quite cold, which was odd as this was in June and during fairly hot weather. Splitting the 40 mg into two or three doses during the day helped to some extent, though there remained a very noticeable "chest agitation" that had been present for several months and remained severely limiting.
After several days of feeling somewhat better, it suddenly seemed to wear off; as a result, Dr. Gillman suggested going up to 50 mg a day, which I did in 3 split doses as the blood pressure readings continued to be quite labile. On this dose, the previous positive trend returned, and the sensation of chest agitation even seemed blunted until later in the day; and though I was still fairly incapacitated especially having been sick for so long, I did manage to go out to dinner with some friends one evening, something I hadn't done in many months – it didn't feel quite normal, and the chest sensation returned with a vengeance halfway through, but it was tolerable and something of an encouraging sign for what it was worth.
Still, I repeatedly voiced my doubts and ambivalence about the Parnate to Dr. Gillman during those initial 2-3 weeks, and each time he reiterated that I just needed to hold on a bit longer, and that probably after 3 weeks I would notice a significant difference. He had also connected me with another person he had been talking with over Skype who was in a similar situation as mine and who had also just started Parnate; that individual also offered support and encouragement and persuaded me to hold on a bit longer.
The change seemed to occur overnight, almost exactly 3 weeks in; one morning I woke up and knew — with some certainty — that something was different and that, for want of a better phrase, the nightmare was over; really, actually, over.
That day I went to Target, which, while seemingly a simple task, had been something I had avoided for at least 8 months due to unrelenting and unexplainable anxiety – and yet there I was, walking around, surrounded by people, completely unfazed. I called my family, who were shocked at how different I sounded – in fact, almost everyone who had spent any time with me during the months prior conveyed the same sense of amazement, often using the same words – shocking, miracle, amazing, unbelievable. The next day I went to Costco, always a chaotic mess of people of all ages, carts and tempers colliding, and cacophonous noise – and yet I felt confident I'd be able to handle it just fine and I did – and as with Target, it had been at least 8-9 months since I'd last even felt close to being able to go there.
My friend noticed with relief and gratification that I'd begun referring to the depression in the past tense; she had unconditionally helped me through months and months of a dark, suicidal illness and was ultimately the person that had set me on the path to try Parnate – for which I will always be beyond grateful.
Gone was the chest anxiety and agitation and constant panic and envy; gone, too, of course, were the suicidal thoughts. My blood pressure was still labile but within reasonable limits, and the sensation of coldness, while still present, would slowly resolve. There have been various side effects of varying duration – mid-afternoon drowsiness seems to be a particularly persistent one – but they are far better than the incapacitation and desolation of severe clinical depression.
My diet has generally been fairly liberal, though I've never been a fan of aged cheeses and there are usually alternatives to things like draught beer and fermented foods like kimchi. The need to avoid cold medications with dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine was probably my biggest concern but has turned out to be not as difficult as imagined, as cold symptoms go away on their own anyway. There has been only one episode that I'd attribute to an MAO-I interaction – Costco sells frozen yakisoba noodles that have edamame mixed in, to which I developed a very severe headache starting in the occipital region about 45 min after consuming, with blood pressures over 210 systolic and nausea, and which resolved within about 60-90 min. There may have been an issue with the freshness of that batch of noodles as well.
But all in all, after an ordeal which included the failure of 38 ECT treatments, six weeks of daily transcranial magnetic stimulation treatments, multiple (and very expensive) IV ketamine doses, dozens of medications, 4 hospitalizations, and several very serious suicide attempts, it took three weeks of Parnate (with Dr. Gillman's dosing recommendations) to completely eradicate a very severe, agitated clinical depression. I am very lucky of course, to have had unwavering support in general (and in particular the dedication of my friend who never gave up despite how bleak it was for a long time), as well as the good fortune to happen upon Dr. Gillman's website, without which, at best, I would have been on 5-10 mg of Parnate for two weeks before possibly increasing it – and would have stopped it by then for sure, with literally no hope of recovery. A sobering thought, indeed!

When "Community" airs 13 new episodes on Yahoo next fall, it may be the first season of television to owe its existence largely to a hashtag. "#sixseasonsandamovie" grew out of a throwaway gag in a second season episode of the cult comedy, in which one character insisted that the short-lived NBC show "The Cape" would last that long. It was a self-aware joke about delusional fandom, built around the absurd idea that anyone would actually love "The Cape." But it soon became an online rallying cry for fans campaigning against cancellation. The much-loved, little-watched sitcom clung to life for five years at NBC—the network first placed it on hiatus, then replaced its mercurial showrunner Dan Harmon, then reinstated Harmon one year later. When NBC finally cancelled "Community" this May, the unorthodox show had, against all odds, almost completed its fifth season. But the fans kept tweeting, and the producers kept shopping it around (Netflix and Hulu both said no), and last night, at the eleventh hour, Yahoo came to the rescue, ordering 13 episodes that will air in weekly installments.
As a longtime "Community" fan, I should have been glad. Mostly, though, I felt tired. We live in an age of resurrection, at least as far as television is concerned. "Veronica Mars," "Arrested Development," "Family Guy"—nothing is dead as long as there are people willing to tweet for its return. "Community" is valuable to Yahoo because it has a devoted, outspoken audience that will follow it anywhere, even to a search engine. This is just the latest entry in the ongoing Kickstarter-ization of popular entertainment. (NPR's Linda Holmes has called it "the Age of Enthusiasm.") It makes sense as a business decision, but this phenomenon—the artificial resuscitation of art that doesn't need resuscitating—is worrying. What does the increasing influence of online fandom on TV production mean when fans invest their energies in reviving old shows instead of supporting new ones?
Of course, there's nothing new about Hollywood producing movies and television solely to satisfy a built-in audience; all the comic-book sequels in theaters right now attest to that. In 1903, Arthur Conan Doyle succumbed to public pressure—fans had created "Keep Holmes Alive" clubs—and revived Sherlock Holmes, publishing new stories under the excuse that the detective had only appeared to plunge to his death ten years earlier. Perhaps it's better for creators to feel beholden to passionate viewers sitting at home than to corporate suits. But the effect is often the same: TV shows continuing on long after they've lost energy and purpose. One of the great innovations of this so-called Golden Age of television was supposed to be shows that ended when they were ready. "Breaking Bad" wasn't dragged out for ten seasons; neither was "Lost." Matthew Weiner has stuck to his stated end date for "Mad Men," give or take a split season. "The Office" limped through nine seasons because NBC was afraid they needed it to anchor their sitcom lineup. (They were right.) But when networks aren't artificially stretching a show's lifespan, fans are now ready to do the same.
"I'm not going to be the guy that re-cancels cancelled Community," Harmon wrote on his personal Tumblr in May, after admitting that he felt pretty "lukewarm" about continuing the show somewhere else. But not wanting to piss off your fans is a shoddy reason to write a TV show. In its fifth season, "Community" kept circling back to concepts that had worked for it before: another animated episode, more Dungeons and Dragons. It was rarely bad, and intermittently brilliant, but Harmon seemed to have little else to say.
Sure, an NBC-less season may reinvigorate the show. But I suspect that, without the limits of network television, Harmon's genius may run amok. Just like "Arrested Development" benefited from episodes that couldn't extend past 23 minutes—and struggled when it was untethered from that limit on Netflix—"Community" may shine because of the tension between Harmon's wild imagination and the constraints of a network sitcom. For Yahoo, Harmon can write episodes that last 21 minutes or 38. He can continue the same type of pop-culture homage, or experiment with new narrative forms. He could write an episode that synchs up with "Dark Side of the Moon." A classic "Community" episode creates something new out of strict genre conventions—action movie, Ken Burns documentary, my Dinner with Andre. To be successful, Harmon may need to be similarly reined in.
Not to mention, the stars of "Community" may be itching for something new. Gillian Jacobs has already signed up for a Judd Apatow-directed comedy for Hulu. John Oliver is busy lecturing us about world politics each Sunday night. Even Dan Harmon is working on something fresh, the well received animated cartoon "Rick and Morty." They've begun to move on from "Community," even if the show's fans haven't. But brilliant shows end all the time—and, if we're lucky, they're creators go on to create more art. "Freaks and Geeks" died too soon, but from its ashes we got "Undeclared," The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Bridesmaids, and the continuing performance art that is James Franco's existence. "Sports Night" gave us "The West Wing." Maybe it's time to let go.


The current upstream market has now been marked by two years of slow down. Operators have clearly indicated total cost of ownership was to be reduced by 30, or even 40%, to envisage a resumption of investments, which have reached a six-year low at 400 Billion USD per annum.
As new developments arise, typically accompanied with more severe challenges in terms of depth or flow assurance, the market is to rethink development methodologies. In that view, ITP and GMC came up with an innovative design for deepwater subsea applications capable to offer a true game-changer in terms of economics, time to first oil and business model.
For a typical 30-40km subsea field layout in deepwater western Africa, the offshore installation is usually the main cost driver and the biggest risk. The efficient design offers to reduce total cost of ownership from the operator's perspective by 30-40% and reduce risk taking, as well as increase onshore local content. The combination of GMC's mechanical connectors with ITP's high-strength field joint provides an ideal case to combine high thermal efficiency, mechanical strength, and short offshore installation campaigns.
This paper will describe how the offshore J-lay installation cycle times can be reduced to 10mn (60%+ improvement compared to today), remove any offshore welding activity, and therefore, dramatically reduce risk and improve safety (less people onboard), and, increase local content by adding more value during the onshore pre-fabrication.
In addition, this paper will also discuss how to reduce time-to-first-oil by allowing standardization in the long run of Pipe-in-Pipe designs for certain water depths; including details of the state-of-the-art mechanical connectors (which are at the heart of this disruptive solution) and benchmark with other industries where process quality control is prevailing, rather than product quality control.


In certain states in America a misdemeanor in laymen's terms is stealing a cookie out of the jar. A felony is eating the cookie. That's the concept. An infraction is a traffic fine. When you speed on the highway it is a misdemeanor, you pay the fine and that's that. When you speed on the highway and someone is killed as a result of your reckless driving it is vehicular assault and you spend time in jail; it's a felony. Got it? The functional difference between the two rests with the penalty and the 'power of imprisonment'. It is not whether someone convicted of a particular crime must be punished by a specific time in jail, but whether the person may be punished for a certain length of time or in a specific type of prison.
In certain states all crimes punishable by death are felonies. In States such as New York, Rhode Island and New Hampshire a crime is a felony if it is punishable by more than a year in jail. In Arizona and Wisconsin a crime is a felony punishable by imprisonment in a state prison or penitentiary. A misdemeanor is usually a crime punishable for a year or less in prison or only in a county jail.
There is also a wobbler. Some states also have alternative felony/misdemeanor crimes. A wobbler is a crime that can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor based on circumstances and can be reduced to misdemeanor by a sentencing court. For instance, if you are found with a small bit of marijuana it might be a misdemeanor, but being in possession of a kilo of weed might lead to felony charges based on the volume of the drug.
In the procedural prosecution of felonies and misdemeanors there are not many differences. The government brings some sort of formal charges against you and accord you due process of law. The state follows more formal procedures to prosecute for a felony.
Being convicted of a felony can have serious repercussions. You get a longer sentence, you lose the right to possess a firearm and hunting or fishing licenses. In some states you also lose the right to vote. You also have to disclose your status when applying for a job. A repeat felon faces much harder punishments especially where three-strike laws are in place. Go online for more information on felonies and misdemeanors in the United States.

Kritter's special cache! We put this one together in the spring, and finally hid it at the end of August. The cache was published just before midnight on August 23, and found the very next morning by Swifteroo.
The first cache I ever placed. I have it on good authority that the poison ivy can be avoided on the way to the cache. It was sometime after I had placed my second cache, that I renamed this "#2" because I was confused by two caches with "Willow Creek" in the name. The fact that it is called #2 is proof of the extent of my confusion!


Sometimes it's the people you "expect" to be there, they are not. People you never realized cared that much are the ones to get you through it. Just went through something w/cancer patient, it was so overwhelming to see so many who were there, "you find out who your "FRIENDS" are, (and not).

#752: Do not decode duplicate binary array tags.
[0.21.1] Merged fix for #752 from the trunk (c2435).
This is an interesting case. The image has a corrupted Canon makernote with 2 CanonCs composite tags. Exiv2 decodes both (although the data in the second one doesn't make any sense) but when it comes to writing, it tries to pack all CanonCs components back into only one composite tag and somehow gets confused in the process.
The second binary array is no longer decoded now.
The patch for 0.21 can be downloaded from the repository. The resulting library remains binary compatible with 0.21.
A binary compatible patch for 0.20 is attached too.


Use premium points to significantly increase traffic of your server.
These points will push your server up to the monitoring top and make it visible for bigger number of potential players. More points = more players.
Bright highlighting is another way to make your server more attractive.
Premium points put a server into the monitoring top. The more premium points you have- the higher your server is. The more players you attract.
Makes your server much more attractive for users. Bright colors will help your server stand out and make it more solid.
Premium points All servers in the monitoring are sorted according to total number of points and ranking. The higher the ranking is, the higher your server is. Using points you may get to the top right away and attract a great number of players. Each point is valid for a certain amount of time selected during the purchase (from a week to 3 months).
Upon expiration the point is automatically deleted.
You may buy any quantity of premium points at any time. New points will be added to the old ones unless the old points are expired.
A simple example: You purchase 2 premium points valid for a week and 3 valid for a month - you get 5 points altogether. In a week you will have only 3 points left since 2 would have already been expired and removed.
Color highlighting Using this option you can make your server stand out and become more attractive. This feature not only just puts the server higher in the list - it also marks the server with the selected color. Valid for a minimum of 3 days.
To catch more attention the brightest colors are used in monitoring, allowing for traffic and awareness increasing.
