Angry Metal Guy's Unsigned Band Rodeo: Witch Ripper – Witch Ripper
By Angry Metal Guy on April 19, 2013 in Angry Metal Guy's Unsigned Band Rodeo, Blog Posts, 5 comments
In our new monthly feature, which will show up here on the 15th of every month and run over the next few days, I (Angry Metal Guy) will select 5 bands at random (usually those who have followed my directions and have bandcamp accounts) to get blurbed by every member of the AMG staff. The idea is to do at least a bit of our part to point out that the metal underground is still an important part of the world of metal. While we simply don't have the manpower to produce regular reviews of unsigned bands, this is my attempt at a minor mea culpa if nothing else. So enjoy Angry Metal Guy's Unsigned Band Rodeo and our fifth and final entry: Witch Ripper!
Witch Ripper is the project of former Iron Thrones bassist Curtis Parker, who has apparently moved to Seattle since the demise of his former, and excellent, band. Witch Ripper is a self-titled 4 song EP "with a stoner soul," as Mr. Franquelli puts it. The riffs are thick and fat, with Curtis doing most of the instrumentation. But like Bill Pulmonary Embolism, the drums were recorded by Pete from Iron Thrones and BPE and was recorded at Signaturetone Studios in Minneapolis. Curt's back in Seattle and has a full band now, so they're gigging and being rad somewhere on the west coast. Go check 'em out. You can hear this EP over at Bandcamp, or you can visit his Facebook page here — the EP was self-released on November 30th, 2012.
Angry Metal Guy: Witch Ripper, one of the disparate shards left over from Iron Thrones, continues a bit in the band's latter steps; the riffy, sludgy feel, but has abandoned the Opeth vibe that I loved about Iron Thrones entirely (bye, Steve!). While sludgy and heavy — with serious nods to Crowbar, Mastodon, High on Fire and, at its best, to Black Sabbath — early listens garnered mostly irritation at Curt's vocals, which grate after a while and causes my AMADD (that's Angry Metal Attention Deficit Disorder for the uninitiated) to kick in. Still, Witch Ripper grew on me with subsequent listens, and while the vocals are the big downside for me, the riffing and the groove are too cool to ignore. The highlight for me is when it kicks it Motörhead-style at the opening of "Ice Wizard," and the "Comfortably Numb" quote in "Queen of the Green." Witch Ripper's strength, though, is the riffs. Not a bad one on here. 3.5/5.0
Steel Druhm: Dirty, rough-hewn stoner/doom from Seattle and the easiest comparison point is High on Fire or Orange Goblin with a bit of The Melvins thrown in. It's plenty riffy with a nicely raw tone and the interesting vocals that fall between Kirk Windstein and Lemmy. They have some writing chops and the songs sound mature, well thought out and have just the right amount of ballsy swagger. It's aggressive and zippy enough to hold your attention, they can rock the big doom riffs when called for and things can even get a bit emotional at times. This is the type shit you would hear at a biker bar where fisticuffs and alcohol poisoning are the only menu items and I like that. Bruising, ugly music with some potential and I could stand to hear some more. 3.0/5.0
Madam X: Hankering for some oddly soupy, crushing, doom-laden misery? Seattle based Witch Ripper deliver a deliciously fuzzy, stoner-doominess that initially reminds me of indie rockers Silversun Pickups but goes on to contort its muscular body into something more like a mix of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats and the macabre Hellwell. Witch Ripper kick up the fuzzy and soupy aspects a notch on "Hydra" and "Ice Wizard", both tracks are plenty catchy and have a pleasing and very distinct Uncle Acid party lurking in their underbelly. My favourite track ended up being the meandering "Queen of the Green." It's got a neat chuggy guitar riff that perfectly highlights the oddly delicate solo around the 5 minute mark. I'm interested to see what Witch Ripper add to this EP, at 4 songs and totalling a nice tidy 19 minutes it sounds like they're half way there! 3.0/5.0.
Fisting Andrew Golota: Witch Ripper bears a surface resemblance to more recent Mastodon, with a heavy helping of Crowbar. Curtis Parker sings like a more soulful Kirk Windstein, and could develop into a unique voice, given time. If you like the heavy sludgy stuff, give this 4-song EP a shot, and keep an eye on these guys in the future. 3.0/5.0
Happy Metal Guy: Play this beast and find groovy, druggish riffs entering and intoxicating your bloodstream through your ears. Then, find yourself jumping around and bobbing your head up and down. Next, pass out and subsequently wake up with no memory of how you ended up in your dog's corner of the backyard. As if those awesome riffs are not enough, face-scrunching guitar solos are utilized occasionally as well. The biggest flaw of this EP is, of course, the under-utilization of guitar solos. Great imagery conjured by the track titles, too. 3.0/5.0
Natalie Zed: This self-titled record is a sludgy, intensely distorted and fuzzed out record that nonetheless has an energy and drive behind it. The vocals remind me strongly of Scott Angelacos (Bloodlet, more recently Junior Bruce), and the thick, fat guitar works matches that bellowing rasp extremely well. This isn't a meandering, spacey stoner record full of fat easy jams, but a tense and tight record, one with a journey and an agenda, constantly pushing forward. "Space Debris" has a strong note of loneliness woven into it, and "Hydra" has a battle-ready gallop that gets the blood pumping. Only four tracks long, this self-titled EP makes the listener long for more, something more substantial, but that hunger for more material means that Witch Ripper have something compelling to offer. 3.5/5.0
Alex Franquelli: Rock music has lead us to love. However then, one day, we realised that songs could be used for more noble purposes and Blue Cheer gave us the summertime blues and bands like Witch Ripper. Their powerful grasp of blues chords might sound strikingly similar to the likes of Baroness and Torche, if you listen close enough. And the proggy edges of their music could remind the listener of the likes of Mastodon and High On Fire. But it's all played with a stoner soul: one which pays a heavy tribute to a virtual scene that includes Kvelertak, Black Tusk and Doomriders. So, let's all raise our half-empty glasses to the mighty Order of the Riff. And may His Majesty Iommi have pity of all of us. For we do not know what we are doing and we gladly prefer it this way. 4.0/5.0

* I like to use a mixture of regular size dark premium chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and jumbo milk chocolate chips.
Whisk baking soda, baking powder and salt into flour.
Sift cocoa into flour mixture.
Add grated orange peel and mixed chocolate chips into flour mixture and mix well.
In a larger bowl, beat butter on medium speed until creamy.
Add golden sugar, eggs, orange juice, vanilla extract, cloves or allspice and cinnamon and beat until well blended.
Stir flour mixture into butter mixture with rubber spatula until well blended. Usually I slip on a clean rubber glove and mix by hand.
Add ground cooking oats to mixture. Here you really have to use your hands!
Shape larger than golf ball sizes of batter, flatten into cookie shape and place on a greased cookie sheet. If you like, grated hard dark chunk chocolate is a nice topping before the cookies go in the oven.

This piece is part of an exploration of my ongoing obsession with visual artifacts — specifically, in this case, the wagon-wheel effect.
While relatively simple to create, documenting a 'clean' performance of this piece presented some interesting challenges, including tearing, gamma, compression, and transcoding issues, all due to the tight, drastic changes in lighting dynamics. The most salient compromise - banding related to JPEG compression - is prominent.
More interesting, though, were issues related to the nature of this recording as documentation of a live performance. Keep an eye on the news section of this site for a future writeup.
Viewing in 60FPS in a darkened space with headphones turned up loud strongly recommended. The usual, really.

During a heatwave on August 5, 1917, two cousins, Robert Gisler's daughter Elizabeth, 11, and Sam Gisler's daughter Mabel, 10, went to the Santa Ana River with Elizabeth's sister Lucile, 6, to play in the water.
The two older girls were wading in the shallows of the channel, laughing and playing, when they suddenly lost their footing and stepped into a large hole. They struggled to find a foothold in the deep drop-off, while their cries for help went unanswered. Young Lucile thought they were only playing.
When the girls disappeared under the water, Lucile ran for help, eventually finding a surf-fisherman on the beach 3/4 mile away. He and a 13-year-old boy managed to recover the girls, who by that point had been in the water between 45 minutes and an hour.
Every effort was made to revive them. An electric car was flagged down, and a Pulmotor resuscitator was sent from Santa Ana. But it was too late. At the time of the accident, Sam and Robert were in Seal Beach, where they received the sad news.

s are 12-7 since the All-Star break. ...
CHARLOTTE, N. D.J. Hayden Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson and the Charlotte Bobcats cant help but sneak a peek at the Eastern Conference standings every now and again. "I would be great to get in that sixth spot," Jefferson said. The reasoning if obvious: It would help the Bobcats avoid a potential first-round playoff series with Indiana or Miami. For now, the Bobcats are the seventh seed in the East, but theyre gaining ground. Charlotte took a big step on Wednesday night with Jefferson scoring 35 points and Kemba Walker adding a double-double in a 116-111 overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets. The win pulled the Bobcats within 1/2 games of sixth-seeded Washington, which lost Wednesday night to Phoenix, and three games behind the fifth-seeded Nets. "I think if we continue to win games everything will take care of itself, everything will work out," Jefferson said. "At this point we should be happy and blessed to be in any (playoff) spot." Walker had 20 points and 12 assists, and Chris Douglas-Roberts added 16 points, including two big jump shots in overtime. Deron Williams finished with 29 points for Brooklyn after scoring 18 in the first quarter. Joe Johnson had 18. Josh McRoberts put the Bobcats ahead for good in overtime when he cut to the basket, received a pass from Jefferson and twisted his body in midair for a reverse dunk in traffic, bringing the crowd to its feet. Douglas-Roberts and Johnson traded 3-pointers before Walker hit a 19-footer over Williams to push the lead to 114-111. Shaun Livingston missed a driving layup with 35 seconds left and the Bobcats got the ball. McRoberts was blocked on the ensuing possession, but Douglas-Roberts tracked down the loose ball and made a 20-footer from the left wing to push the lead to five and seal the victory. "I thought the defence was great, but in the end, we come up with a blocked shot, the ball bounces, and you know CDR, he makes a shot with the shot clock winding down and so everybody executed," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "The ball just bounced their way tonight." Williams tied the game with 26.8 seconds left in regulation when he knocked down a 20-footer from the left wing. The Bobcats had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation, but the ball slipped out of Walkers hands as time expired. Douglas-Roberts joined the Bobcats in December from the NBA Developmental League and has been a reliable contributor during the teams playoff push. He saw extra minutes off the bench with Gary Neal out with an ankle injury. "Im very confident when Im on the floor and I go in there knowing I have to contribute for this team," Douglas-Roberts said. Williams set a career-high with 57 points in this same building against the Bobcats on March 4, 2012. And early on he looked like he was aiming to better the mark. Despite missing the morning shootaround with an illness, he made seven of his first eight shots, including four 3-pointers to finish with 18 points in the first quarter. The Bobcats, who have surrendered 62 points to Carmelo Anthony and 61 points to LeBron James this season, seemed intent not to allow that to happen again. They shaded their coverage to Williams in the second quarter and he was limited to only two more points before halftime. In the meantime, Jefferson was starting to heat up, scoring 22 points in the first half on 9-of-14 shooting, using a variety of low-post moves and jump hooks. "We gave him some easy ones early," Brooklyns Mason Plumlee said. "... You cant give a great scorer easy buckets early." Brooklyns Jorge Gutierrez was ejected from the game with 6:42 left in the fourth quarter after a flagrant two foul against Cody Zeller. Zeller grabbed an offensive rebound and Gutierrez came down hard with both hands on Zellers shoulders, sending the 7-footer crashing to the hardwood. "I watched the replay and it looked pretty bad -- but that wasnt my intention to do that," Gutierrez said. "Coach always says Nothing easy. Make them earn it on the free throw line. I was just trying to do a hard play." NOTES: The Bobcats are 12-7 since the All-Star break. ... Grammy Award winner Nelly took in the game from a courtside seat. ... The Bobcats and Wells Fargo gave away a new home to former Marine Josh Morgan during the first half of the game as part of the Military Warriors Support Foundation. Morgan was injured in Afghanistan. Josh Wells Jersey .com) - Sporting Kansas City announced Thursday that club has signed former on-loan midfielder Jimmy Medranda to a permanent contract from Colombian side Deportivo Pereira. Jaydon Mickens Jersey . -- Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman is undergoing surgery to repair a broken bone above his left eye but has no other serious injuries after being hit in the face by a line drive in a spring training game. http://www.cheapjaguarsjerseyssale.com/?tag=t-j-yeldon-jersey-sale . Bryce Harper? He also came into Wednesday without a long ball and hadnt driven in a run.

Q: Life expectancy of a CXY-B1 Li-ion battery Last year I got a National Geographic Explorer 4 camera with two CXY-B1 Li-ion batteries (3.7V, 1000 mAh 3.7Wh). In one year, I used them both for about 7 hours in total over the course of the year (calculated from the size of saved footage and average bit-rate).
After charging them both overnight, one of them now turns on for a second before turning off, the other shows the warning sign of low battery.
Is this normal? What is the life expectancy of such batteries?
Update: Following the comments, the first battery has a voltage of 3.7V and
the second has 2.5V. After 5 hours in the charger, they have 3.7V and 4.2V
(yes, 4.2V, and yet this battery fails to turn on the camera). I have often brought these batteries to well below 60%, as my filming sessions lasted longer than 2 battery lives.

RONNIE COLEMAN: Every exercise I do is a favorite isolation exercise, but it's also a favorite mass-building exercise. I don't distinguish between the two. My purpose as a bodybuilder is to ensure that every muscle has received its optimum amount of training by the time I've finished my workout. That, to me, is isolation.
Somewhere along the way, bodybuilders began to define isolation in what I call negative terms; i.e., the removal of all supporting muscles from the movement, so that only a single target muscle is allowed to contract. If other muscles are involved, they either prevent the target muscle from doing the work or they cause the body to fatigue before the target muscle is fully exercised.
I prefer a more positive approach. Instead of trying to isolate a muscle, I think in terms of trying to isolate maximum forces into a muscle. With concentration and proper control of the movement, I command supporting muscles to make the target muscle work even harder. Here are some of my favorite exercises.
BENCH PRESSES: If your back is pressed flat and motionless against a bench so that only your arms move, your chest muscles are unable to expand and contract through their full range of motion, as they should during this movement. Instead, as the bar descends, lift up your chest to meet it, while pulling your shoulder blades together under your back. This stretches your pecs as wide as possible, so that, as you press upward, more of your chest muscles are activated over a greater range of motion. Involvement of your lats and torso also gives your pecs more power to handle more weight, thus developing more chest mass.
STANDING BARBELL CURLS: Since this movement enables you to curl the most weight, all the muscles in your biceps groups are called upon to cooperate, thereby producing a synergistic effect in each of those muscles. Go heavy with these, but start the contraction from the bottom without swinging the weight, then squeeze harder as you curl. You'll feel the burn all the way from your brachialis muscles into the split of your biceps peaks. You've just isolated maximum power into all of your biceps muscles.
SQUATS: This is the greatest — and only — thigh (note: thigh, not quad) exercise, because it requires the coordinated strength of every muscle in the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves and midsection complexes. More muscle-building power is isolated into each of those areas than is possible with exercises targeting those muscles individually.
Apply this concept to every exercise in your workout. An attempt to isolate a muscle may result in isolating it from its maximum amount of work. Instead, think of isolating maximum forces to go where you want them to go.

Let's face it, you probably still have a jack-o-lantern sitting on your doorstep and your Thanksgiving Day plans are still up in the air, but the busy winter holiday season will still be here before you know it. Travel booking site Kayak.com has plowed through a snowstorm of data to find the best times to book your trips for Christmas and New Year's Eve, so if you haven't yet made your travel plans for the December holidays, now is a great time to skate ahead of the pack and get started.
For domestic travel, Kayak.com recommends booking only three weeks in advance. Booking windows are tight, so look to the first week of December for savings around 5 percent. If you wait too long, mid-December fares will begin to steadily increase and you could be looking at average fares that are as much as 36 percent above average and 50 percent above the lowest average fare.
For international travel, booking as soon as humanly possible is the best way to go. Based on Kayak's 2013 data, average airfare rose more than $600 from July through the holiday. If you wait until December to book travel abroad, you might see average fare increases as high as 33 percent for Asia, 16 percent for the Caribbean, and 56 percent for destinations in South America. If you're traveling to the Caribbean, however, and have to wait until December to book your trip, know that early December 2013 saw a decrease of up to 10 percent on average fares to the region.
For the best domestic deals, Kayak.com recommends booking your New Year's Eve travel about two weeks before your desired departure date. The lowest average fares for domestic travel were found in early December, saving travelers up to 1o percent. Around mid-December, though, fares will most likely begin to climb and you could be looking at paying up to 11 percent more than the average fare.
Kayak.com has found that domestic travelers who flew as close to Christmas day as possible saved up to 33 percent on their airfare. Conversely, those who chose to spend the night and depart the day after Christmas (which this year falls on Friday, December 26) saved only about 28 percent. If you can't make this kind of tight schedule work, be aware that Tuesday, December 23 and Wednesday, December 24 are also decent days to fly out, with airfares of about 15 percent below average.
Last year, travelers who spent Christmas overseas and flew in and out on the same day saved as much as 30 percent. If you're not quite up for that grind, your best bet is to depart at the beginning of the week, between Tuesday, December 23 and Friday, December 26, and to return as soon as possible the following week; for example, travelers heading overseas on Wednesday, December 24 and returning on Monday, December 29, will save as much as 20 percent off the average airfare.
Whatever you do, avoid spending more than seven days overseas, or you could be slapped with a premium of up to 27 percent above the average airfare. If you have your heart set on staying away the entire week of the holiday – Sunday, December 21 through Sunday, December 28 – you could pay as much as 23 percent more than the average airfare.
TPG Tip: When booking airfare, consider using a card that maximizes airfare purchases, such as 3x points per dollar on airfare with the American Express Premier Rewards Gold or 2x points on the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.
Will you be traveling for the winter holidays? If so, where are you going and how do you plan to maximize your points and save money?

Q: Javascript, DefaultEvent Code below is the code with my question.
var links=content.getElementsByTagName("a");

for(var i=0;i<links.length;++i)
{
    links[i].onclick=function()
    {
        document.getElementById("placeholder").setAttribute("src",this.href);
        return false;
    };
}

Here I try to add onclick functions to the links and I succeed in making this by using the code above. However, if I replace the this.href with links[i].href, the default event of switching page appears. I want to know the reason.

A: It'll happen because by the time you reach the onclick, links[i] will already have a different (possibly undefined) value. JS doesn't have block scope.
If you want, you could use Array.prototype.forEach, which takes a function, and therefore will keep scope.


Yesterday in New York City, Julie Finefrock appeared before the health fund subcommittee of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) as part of her appeal of their denial of her homebirth coverage. Ms. Finefrock, who is six months pregnant, is married to an SEIU employee. Their insurance plan excludes homebirth coverage, despite New York State regulations that require that private insurance cover out-of-hospital birth with a licensed practitioner. Ms. Finefrock's situation is just one example of a larger fight to increase access to homebirth nationally, and it's a fight that has ramped up due to new media attention to the issue.
One mother laboring with her midwife on the roof of her Cobble Hill penthouse, gorgeous Manhattan skyline in the background. Another holding her newborn on her living room couch, exposed brick and high ceilings behind her. These are just two of the scenes from the November New York Times article and slideshow about the growing interest among New York City women in birthing at home. These images paint a very specific picture of homebirth–all the women were pictured in spacious, nicely decorated apartments and, with the exception of one African-American woman, all were white. Watch the popular Ricki Lake documentary The Business of Being Born, released last year, and you get a similar story: Lake and her interviewees were all financially well off and could afford to choose to birth at home. Neither the Times article nor Lake's film touched on one thing that all these women seemed to have in common–money.
Read the rest here. Thanks to everyone who emailed me their thoughts and commentary. I really appreciate it!


A navy look is always in style.
The sweater is from Pull&Bear 2013 fall collection, and I give it extra points because it has pockets. The blouse is from Takko.

Pre-engineered Buildings Market
Zamil Steel Holding Company (Saudi Arabia) and Nucor Corporation (US) are the Key Players in the Pre-engineered Buildings Market
The global pre-engineered buildings market size is projected to grow from USD 14.5 billion in 2019 to USD 25.0 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for green buildings and need for reduction in construction time and cost, along with the demand for lightweight building structure, are projected to drive the growth of the pre-engineered buildings market.
The pre-engineered buildings market is dominated by major players such as BlueScope Steel (Australia), NCI Building Systems (US), Nucor Corporation (US), Kirby Building Systems (Kuwait), Zamil Steel Holding Company (Saudi Arabia), ATCO (Canada), Lindab Group (Sweden), PEBS Pennar (India), PEB Steel Buildings (Vietnam), and Everest Industries (India). These players adopt various growth strategies such as contracts/orders/project developments, new product developments, divestitures and expansions, and acquisitions to increase their market share. Contracts/orders/project developments were the most dominating strategies adopted by major players from January 2016 to March 2019; this helped them to improve their product offerings and broaden their customer base.
Zamil Steel Holding Company (Saudi Arabia) is one of the key players in the pre-engineered buildings market. It offers pre-engineered buildings for a wide range of applications including warehouses, factories, offices, showrooms, shopping malls, aircraft hangars, power stations, and recreational infrastructures. It is among the few companies that offer complete building solutions. Contracts is the major growth strategy adopted by the company. For instance, in August 2017, Zamil Steel Pre-engineered Building Company signed a contract with Agility Kuwait to build four air-conditioned warehouses in Mina Abdullah, Kuwait. This contract was valued at USD 6.7 million. Under this contract, the company will provide 4,600 metric tons of pre-engineered steel buildings and over 100,000 square meters of sandwich panels. This contract is expected to enhance the pre-engineered buildings business and tap the untapped market.
Nucor Corporation (US) is involved in the manufacturing and selling of metal buildings for various low-rise and non-residential applications such as aviation/aircraft hangars, warehousing/storage, manufacturing, retail, agriculture, military, athletic/recreational, and self-storage. It has a strong global presence in Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and the Middle East. The strong global presence and adoption of growth strategy such as expansions have ensured its key position in the pre-engineered buildings market. In March 2019, Nucor Corporation has planned to expand its steel plate production capacity by building a steel plate mill in Brandenburg, KY, US. The company has planned an investment of USD 1.35 billion in the mill. This mill has a planned production capacity of 1.2 million tons of steel products per annum. This is projected to strengthen the company's steel plate product portfolio, which is further supporting its pre-engineered buildings production, as steel plates are used as a raw material to manufacture pre-engineered buildings.

Home/Health/California joins a state trying to reduce mental health care wait times
California joins a state trying to reduce mental health care wait times
tariqangeliniNovember 29, 2021
When Greta Christina fell into deep depression five years ago, she called a therapist in San Francisco. She had a great connection with her provider when she needed treatment in the past. She was pleased to know that he is currently in the "network" with insurance companies. This means you don't have to pay yourself to meet him anymore.
But her excitement was short-lived. Over time, the appointments with Christina's therapist became every two weeks, every four weeks, every five or six.
"Telling a person with depression with a serious and chronic disability that the therapist can only see every 5-6 weeks sees a physiotherapist only every 5-6 weeks for a person with a broken leg. It's like telling you that you can't do it, "she said. "Not enough. Not close enough."
And this summer, Christina was diagnosed with breast cancer. While her depression treatment stumbled, everything related to her cancer treatment (mammograms, biopsies, surgery appointments) happened immediately (like a "well-oiled machine").
"It's a hot mess," she said. "I need to be treated — I have cancer! Still nothing has changed."
A new law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in October, aims to resolve this issue for Californians. Senate Bill 221, which passed the state legislature with a nearly unanimous vote, requires state-wide health insurance companies to reduce mental health care wait times within 10 business days. Six other states, including Colorado, Maryland, and Texas, have similar legislation that limits waiting times.
Long waits for mental health treatment are a national problem, with patients waiting an average of 5-6 weeks of care at local clinics, Department of Veterans Affairs facilities, and private offices from Maryland to Los Angeles County. There is a report that. Across California, half of the residents surveyed by the California Health Care Foundation in late 2019 said it would take too long to meet a mental health care provider when needed.
According to a 2020 survey by the National Federation of Healthcare Professionals representing KP therapists, 87% of therapists say weekly appointments are not available to patients who need a weekly appointment, according to Kaiser Permanente, the state's largest insurance company. increase. California Waiting Law.
Triage therapist Brandy Plumley says he "feels very unethical" about the typical two-month wait time seen at Kaiser Permanente's Mental Health Clinic in Vallejo, eastern San Francisco. ..
She said she received multiple critical calls each day from patients who were assigned therapists but couldn't meet them, and explained that the provider's case load was "huge."
"It's a pain, and it eats me every day," Plumley said. "All Kaiser simply needs to do is hire more clinicians."
Kaiser Permanente says there aren't enough therapists out there to hire. According to a statement by Yener Balan, vice president of behavioral health at insurance company North California, KP is an integrated system, a healthcare provider and insurance company under one umbrella, filling 300 jobs in clinical behavioral health. I'm having a hard time.
Hiring more clinicians wouldn't solve the problem, Balan said. He suggested that maintaining one-on-one treatment for everyone who wants it in the future is not possible with the current system. Existing national care model. "
Kaiser Permanente has expressed concern about the waiting time bill when it is introduced. The California Health Insurance Association, an industry group representing insurance companies in the state, also opposed, saying that a shortage of therapists would make it extremely difficult to meet two-week obligations.
"The COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated this labor shortage, and the demand for these services increased significantly," California Health Planning Association lobbyist Jed Hampton testified at a spring state legislature hearing. Did.
Hampton referred to a study at the University of California, San Francisco, and predicted that by 2028 there would be nearly 30% fewer therapists than needed to meet demand.
"Simply put, mandating more frequent bookings without addressing the underlying labor shortage does not improve the quality of care," said Hampton.
The lawmakers pushed back. Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who drafted the bill, accused the insurance company of exaggerating the shortage. Senator Connie Leiva (D-Chino) said the care providers are there, but insurers are responsible for hiring them into the network by paying higher fees and reducing administrative burden.
If insurance companies want more young people to take up the mental health profession, they must improve their salaries and working conditions right now, state senator Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) said. Stated. (The 2016 KQED survey revealed multiple ways insurers can save money by artificially keeping their provider networks small.)
As bipartisan support for the bill grew in Sacramento, insurers withdrew formal opposition.
However, it is unclear whether other states have the political will or resources to legislate similar solutions, said Hemi Tewerson, managing director of the Independent National Health Policy Academy in Washington, DC, California. She said there weren't enough therapists at any price in places like New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming, and parts of the South, where the company could be forced into employment.
"They don't have a provider, so you can fine the insurance company as much as you like. In the short term, if they already exist, you can't make up for those waits," she said. rice field.
Ronnie Snowden, a professor of health policy and management at the University of California, Berkeley, said the new California law is a solid step towards improving access to mental health care and that the color community will benefit most. .. African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Latino-Americans face the greatest barriers to caring, according to Snowden, and may drop out when people of color come in for treatment. Will be higher.
Keith Humphreys, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, said the new rules need to be monitored and enforced for them to work. Kaiser Permanente has a data system that can track the time between bookings, but other insurers have contracts with privately-owned therapists to manage their own caseloads and schedules.
"Who will track if people once seen are seen again after 10 days, when it's hard enough to keep track of the number of providers we have and who they are looking at? He asked.
Such questions apply to state regulators, primarily the California Department of Health Care. The agency has fined insurance companies $ 6.9 million for violating state standards since 2013. This includes a $ 4 million fine for Kaiser Permanente for excessive mental health care waiting time. Previous state law stipulates that insurers must provide their first mental health care appointment within 10 days, and new law clarifies that the same should be done for follow-up appointments. ..
Greta Christina, who takes care of Kaiser Permanente's facility, said she was anxious for the new law to begin working. It will come into effect on July 1, 2022. Christina considered paying at her own expense in the meantime to find a therapist that she could see more often. But in a cancer crisis, she said it would be difficult to start over with a new person. So she is waiting.
"Knowing that this bill is imminent has helped me cling," she said.
This story is part of a partnership that includes: KQED, NPR and KHN.

First surveyed in 1790 by Patrick McNiff and named by Lt.-Gov. John Graves Simcoe after Chatham in England.
The first post office, in 1816, was called McGregors Mills because a mill owned by John McGregor operated just outside town.
During the War of 1812, Shawnee Chief Tecumseth became one of the most heroic fIgures in Canadian history, fIghting on the side of the British in many battles.
He was allied with Gen. Proctor, commander of the British forces, who ordered a retreat up the Thames R. in the face of strong American forces.
Tecumseth was killed, and Proctor was court-martialled and publicly reprimanded. The town was also known as Chatham Mills, Chatham Village and Chatham West before being named Chatham in 1850.
It was Chatham native Clarke Wallace Floody who surveyed, designed and engineered the famous tunnel used by Allied soldiers to escape from the German prisoner-of-war camp Stalag Luft 3.
If you've seen the movie The Great Escape, you'll recall the tunnel was 336 feet long and 30 feet deep.
Floody acquired his tunnelling knowledge as a miner in Kirkland Lake. He didn't get to use the tunnel because he was moved to another prison camp before The Great Escape took place.

People The Multihull Mystique
The Multihull Mystique
A sneak peak into the new June/July multihull issue from CW Editor Andrew Parkinson.
By Andrew Parkinson
In the June/July 2022 double issue, David Blake Fisher tells the story of voyager James Frederick, whose 32 days alone across the Pacific included 1,000 miles without a rudder. James Frederick
In my early days as a magazine editor, I pitted two sailboat dealers against each other for a story. One specialized in monohulls; the other, cats. We all bellied up to the bar at a watering hole in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and, over a couple of gin and tonics, the two squared off in a spirited debate about which number of hulls is more desirable.
I listened intently as the two sparred like heavyweight boxers, trading blows on topics such as stability, speed, efficiency, maneuverability, maintenance, comfort and cost. I scribbled notes on my pad as fast as my fingers would allow. Being a monohull-first guy my whole life, I walked away with a broader appreciation of the multihull mystique that was taking the industry by storm at the time.
In the June/July 2022 multihull double issue, industry expert Tim Murphy unravels the evolution of the Balance 482, a multihull that toes the line between cruising comforts and extraordinarily satisfying sailing. Jon Whittle
That was more than a decade ago. In the years since, the popularity of multihulls has skyrocketed, and with good reason. This past summer, I was invited to partake in my first extended cruising experience aboard an Aquila 54 power catamaran in the British Virgin Islands with friends and family. Sure, I missed the sweet serenity of sailing, with only the sound of the wind and waves lapping the sails and hullsides underway, but the comfort factor was still off the charts.
A catamaran can feel like a penthouse apartment over the water when compared, foot for foot, with a similar-length monohull, especially for a family with kids. With the shallow draft, we were able to roam where most keelboats wouldn't dare. On the sailing side of things, because catamarans have a lower wetted surface area on their hulls, they can often deliver a few more knots of speed, which can shave hours or days off extended passages. On the motoring side, improved fuel efficiency is the prize.
At this year's Sail America Industry Conference in Annapolis, Maryland, Franck Bauguil, vice president of yacht ownership and product development for the Moorings, Sunsail and Leopard Catamarans, said that he expects the growing demand for catamarans to continue over the next decade. That's in large part because their inherent fundamental traits appeal to modern cruisers: volume, one-level living space, redundancy, natural buoyancy, minimal heeling, comfort, stateroom privacy, performance and safety—all of which also make catamarans highly desirable for the charter industry (or, as I like to call it, "the gateway drug to boat ownership"). Still, with multihull ownership, other considerations should be weighed, such as cost and maintenance, logistical challenges associated with slip space and haulouts, and different sail plans to optimize performance.
Our cover shot for the June/July 2022 multihull double issue features Hull No. 1 of the Balance 442 catamaran series, catching the breeze off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. Dale Staples
If you're a catamaran owner—or simply among the cat curious—our June/July double issue is a must read. We take a deep dive into the catamaran equation, from new boats and the latest design trends to maintenance tips, sail plans and more.
In this issue, CW editor-at-large Herb McCormick brings us into the rarefied world of performance-cruising catamarans; industry expert Tim Murphy unravels the evolution of the Balance 482, which toes the line between cruising comforts and extraordinarily satisfying sailing; the always insightful technical guru David Schmidt walks us through the right sail inventory for sailing off the wind on a multihull; and veteran cruiser Tom Linskey, who recently crossed the Pacific and is currently cruising in the Marquesas aboard his Dolphin 460, lends some essential advice for maintaining a catamaran.

Other June/July issue highlights include sine-wave piloting across the Gulf Stream, how to create a home office afloat, DIY tips on alternators and battery charging, the lifestyle appeal of chartering a catamaran, and the riveting story of voyager James Frederick, whose 32 days alone across the Pacific included 1,000 miles without a rudder. We'll also check out a fleet of new cats, including the Nautitech 44 Open, the Lagoon 55 and the Fountaine Pajot Isla 40.

Leaving My Comfort Zone


Today, I'm showing off another gorgeous top from Jules Reid. I love how easy these tops are, and the material y'all: the material is just FABULOUS! I went with this simple black and cream/white IKAT top, because it's the perfect now and later top. When the temperature starts to drop, I can throw this on with a little jacket, a black mini skirt, tights, and boots, and be styled up for the fall and winter.
