the mental health care that will prevent these mass murder suicides is
suicide prevention. you don't have to treat and cure everybody, although we should. but effective suicide prevention would prevent these tragedies, because they are, ultimately, suicides. the fact that a lot of other people would have their lives saved, and get into treatment means that a lot of pain and suffering that doesn't make it onto the front page gets alleviated, too.
what would you do if you had a magic wand to prevent suicides?
glass workers- would it be hard to make my own glass block?
from bottles?
from what i know a hot woodfire will melt glass, and i think i can make a simple mold of cement blocks on sand? then if i had a pipe to blow a hole in the middle of it, i have a block. no?
nraleighliberal,others- which tomato weathered this summers crazy weather?
i worry specifically about heat in the future. wondered what folks had success with this year, especially the heirloom tomatoes.
would you use polycarbonate panels for a garage roof?
working on the design for our "barn" aka garage. architects like these panels, but they give me the creeps. i just can't see them holding up long enough to make them worthwhile. spendy, too. the panels are cheap, then the accessories are nutso.

Cook County begins enrolling 250,000 new Medicaid recipients
Source: wbez.org
This week Cook County will start sending letters to about 115,000 of its low-income residents inviting them to enroll in the county’s new Medicaid program.
Adults under 65 with an income of up to 133% of the federal poverty level will be eligible for Medicaid beginning in 2014 in states that choose to participate in the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion.
In Cook County, the expanded eligibility will begin even sooner, in January 2013. Cook County applied for and received a federal waiver to let the law kick in a year early.

But Dr. Raju said he hopes that by then, they will want to choose County Care. In addition to setting up patients in a “medical home”, County Care will provide mental health and substance abuse services, which Illinois Medicaid currently does not cover. The lack of mental health services in the region has been a topic of ongoing controversy.

cook county president toni preckwinkle ALWAYS says that everyone in cook county jail has a substance abuse or untreated mental health issue. it is the biggest psych ward in the country. this is a TREMENDOUS leap forward for cook county.
yeah for progressives. toni is the best.
what's wrong with these peppers? jamacain hot chocolate
they are all splitting like this, but none of the other peppers in the greenhouse with it are having any trouble.
?????
what's your favorite bean?
we plan to focus on growing beans next year, as our hugelkulture will need the nitrogen for a year or 2. so we are looking for interesting and tasty beans that we can seed save.
will probably do a teenie bit of the three sisters thing and tuck in a couple melons and squash, but to run and shade out the weeds. suggestions for that welcome also.
