City Councilor Brian Bigelow said he "respects" Sheriff Thomas Hodgson's decision to fire him from his county auditing job "but I really disagree with his finding." The Bristol County sheriff said he took that recommendation by the hearing officer Friday because Bigelow's arrest on a charge of soliciting a prostitute early last month "makes it almost impossible for him to perform his duties."
City Councilor Brian Bigelow said he "respects" Sheriff Thomas Hodgson's decision to fire him from his county auditing job "but I really disagree with his finding."
The Bristol County sheriff said he took that recommendation by the hearing officer Friday because Bigelow's arrest on a charge of soliciting a prostitute early last month "makes it almost impossible for him to perform his duties."
Hodgson said Bigelow, an 11-year employee, audited and helped ensure the 560 workers followed department rules and regulations.
"I never told people how to do their jobs. I helped people do their jobs. I feel people respect me. I don't think there would be a problem," Bigelow said in a phone interview Tuesday.
Bigelow said he became a policy auditor four or five years ago implementing the department's strategic accountability management system. Before that he was coordinator of volunteers for six years at the department.
"I really liked what I was doing. You can really work with people," said Bigelow, who is now searching for new employment.
Bigelow said the sheriff department's hearing officer, attorney Robert Novak, listened to what he and his lawyer, Michael Sousa, presented at what Hodgson described as a "disciplinary termination hearing."
"I can't tell if they had it predetermined. I hope they didn't," said Bigelow.
He faces misdemeanor criminal charges from his arrest that will next be heard on Oct. 22.
Both Bigelow and Sousa said they had an opportunity to present their case during a hearing that lasted about a half hour.
Bigelow said he worked with one other auditor in his role and did not have a job with union protection.
Bigelow, who "emphatically" stated his innocence to the single charge, said he had an explanation for what he was doing in the early morning of Aug. 7 when he was arrested about 1:15 a.m. on Morgan Street near South Main Street.
"Ever since I was younger — I've played music my whole life — I've had trouble sleeping, and that's when I'd go out and drive around the whole city," said Bigelow, a drummer.
He said he often "can't sleep after playing gigs," and played that Friday night with his pop trio until about 11 p.m. at one of the area country clubs.
"Yes, I was driving around that night," he said of the night he and 22 others were arrested in a prostitution sting set by Mayor Will Flanagan and police Chief Daniel Racine.
Bigelow, 49, declined to give particulars of what happened that night except to say it would be typical for him to take an hour or so after completing the night's music to pack up and leave the venue.
Does the lifelong city resident think people will believe that explanation?
"People are going to believe what they're going to believe," he said.
"I'm taking it a day at a time. I feel that I'm innocent. I really believe I'm innocent on this," Bigelow said.
But when asked why, he cited the pending criminal case against him and said, "I really can't say anything because I can't jeopardize anything."
A married father of two young children, 7 and 9, and two stepchildren, one married and the other whom he drove to begin college on Friday, Bigelow said he is "relying on friends and family to guide and help me and my family through all of this."
Of his wife, he said, "We're working on things together. We're talking with each other." He said the family is "trying to heal."
He acknowledged the difficulty of addressing the arrest personally because of several political hats he's worn. In addition to his 1½ years serving on the City Council, he's an appointed member of the Diman Regional School Committee and a former 10-year member of the city School Committee, including a tenure as its vice chairman.
"Because of being in politics it keeps coming up," Bigelow said of the publicity.
While Corporation Counsel Steven Torres has not rendered an opinion on whether he believes Flanagan can and should remove him from the appointed Diman board, Bigelow said he believes he should continue in that leadership role.
"I've always been in education. I love education," he said.
Asked about his credibility to serve, he said, "It's two different things. I didn't take money from anybody. I didn't hurt anyone. What is happening to me is family oriented."
Bigelow, who did not ask one question or render one opinion at his first City Council meeting a few days after the arrest, explained why he stayed mum during the lengthy discussion over the raise for School Committee legal counsel Bruce Assad.
"I just felt at that time this was a school issue. The people who are in charge of giving him that raise are the School Committee," he said. "I didn't say anything because that's the School Committee's job."
He did not speak on other topics either.
Bigelow said he has not had any city councilor suggest he should resign from his elected seat. "They've been very supportive of my family and myself," he said, adding, "They might not agree with everything."

We bought our house with a garage and two sheds on the property. One shed was constructed using bricks and concrete and was perfectly situated in the corner of the lot. The other shed was constructed using wood and was beginning to rot with paint chipping off two sides. The wood shed was awkwardly placed between the brick shed and the garage. I decided to remove the wood shed after renovating the brick shed to improve the "flow" of the yard and landscaping.
Here's a picture taken during the shed's final hours. So long shed!

"also named Atlantic Coast Line and House of Common"
The beginning of The Band - Andy Patterson and Ron Logan in Waycross, Georgia. This is at Andy's house. Andy has a Western Auto electric Truetone guitar and Ron is playing a classic Silvertone model that came with the amplifier built into the case! Those Truetones would test your will to be a guitar player because it took determination (and iron fingers) to depress the strings on those things!
Next came Dave Strickland and his Hagstrom II bass. The Fender Bassman in the background is a 1964 model with a 60 watt tube head and a speaker cabinet with two 12 inch speakers. Dave, Andy and Ron met at Valdosta State College and began planning their assault on the musical frontiers of South Georgia. History was made shortly after that. Not musical history, just history... of some kind.
A later upgrade in bass equipment to a Jazz tobacco sunburst Fender bass, and you can just see the side of it in the background - a Kustom charcoal gray rolled and tucked Naugahyde covered 100 watt bass amp with a D140F JBL Bass Driver and dual chrome ports! Talk about being ready for rock 'n' roll! However, even with the top-notch equipment fame and fortune still eluded me. Looking back now I realize it was that shirt and tie!
Other bands had a fuzz box, a tone box, a direct box, a reverb box or an echo box. But The Band was the only band ever known to have a Mazola Box, which held essential gear such as cables, microphones, tools, tape and a Gibson Fuzztone that would work only when you unscrewed the cover and left it open! Without the Mazola box we would have been just another band.
More members gleefully join "The Band"! Guitarist Andy Patterson on the left and Bassist Dave Strickland to his left, enthusiastically greet new singer Van Brown and drummer Bill Kell, certain that stardom was just around the corner.
The hardest working man in show business, our agent and roadie, Glen "Satch" Sapp. Thanks, Satch, for the use of your truck and for all of those tense moments when semi-hostile locals would come up and ask you who was playing, and at the risk of being called a "smart ass" (and even getting it kicked), you would have to answer, "The Band"!
Drummer Bill Kell and Guitarist Andy Patterson of "The Band", between practices.
Dusty Justice brings talent and experience to the group. Dusty can play guitar, bass, keyboards, sax and probably other instruments, but he can also sing! He formerly played with the Furies and was close friends with Doodle Faulk of The Strange Bedfellows and Jak of Diamonds.
Yet another member of the group, Van Brown provides vocal harmonies, rhythm guitar (a lefty playing righty, which absolutely blows my mind!) and humorous views on everything from our talent to our future. He continues to do so to this very day.
That's Dave, the bassboy on the left and Ronnie Moore, with the electric organ, on the right.
Andy works out a drum part, while the rest of "The Band" searches for the lost chord. It's probably in the Mazola box.
Sand, Sun and Surf, and some wind apparently got in their hair. Bill Kell, Dave Strickland and Andy Patterson get all wrapped up in their... flags. This photograph was taken in a beach cottage on Jekyll Island, Georgia.
The Band that plays together stays together: Dusty and Bill at the beach, relaxing after a grueling South Georgia tour. This was a remote area that the public did not know about. You will notice there are no fans around. The guys needed their "down time" to recouperate.
Where are they now?
The beach is still a favorite spot for celebrities to relax. Andy now supports the Georgia Dawgs, the Valdosta Wildcats and whatever brewery has a special price going on! He is also the driving force and research brain behind this Web site. Yo Andy!
A man for all seasons, Andy is a stand up guy in a Bluegrass band, often performing at high social functions, such as this one on the veranda of the White House. Famous drummer, Ringo, is seen sitting in on guitar. The other members are secret service and their identities cannot be revealed for national security reasons.
Dave keeps on trying! Here he is with CRS, a blues group that recently reorganized after the lead guitarist had to leave town for business reasons. I wonder how that paternity suit is going.
From left to right: Bob Milbury, Steve Harlow, Moe Guilbert, Russ Debarros, Dave Strickland, Tim Robinson and Chuck Storla.
Dave's group setting up for a party November 2003. A good time was had by all.
Dave even played with The Bushmen for a while, as seen in the above picture! It was a limited engagement. It started on 01/23/2005 at about 11:00 PM and ended on 01/23/2005 at approximately 11:15 PM.

Here they are - the band you've all been waiting for! The Band - 2004.
Dave Strickland, Van Brown, Andy Patterson and Ron Logan!
The Band later changed it name to The House of Commons. Highlights of their career included playing the breaks for the Gentries at the Bees Knees in Fitzgerald, GA and culminating in a reunion performance at the Goodstock garage band festival in Summersville, W. VA in June of 2007.
Drummer Bill Kell has been busy too. Here are pictures of his current band - The Residuals right after winning the Fortune 500 Corporate Battle of the Bands at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland!

In June of 2007 Larry McClurg put on a festival featuring garage bands from the 1960s in Summerville W. VA. Artie Kornfeld, creator of the original Woodstock festival in 1969 assisted with logistics and advice for a successful festival. This festival was three days of love, peace and brotherhood. Larry was the lead singer for a 1968 band called Mind Garage, a W. VA. experimental, psychedelic rock band given credit for inventing Christian Rock. Mind Garage has the dubious distinction of being invited to perform at Woodstock and declining to do so.
Goodstock. What a strange and amazing Festival! PLENTY of first class entertainment! The ultimate in venues. Kudos to all volunteers worked VERY HARD to help create the proper environment. Without people willing to go above and beyond, Goodstock could not have happened or been what it was. But as in all things where the play of opposites comes in (life), this was no exception. And so everything happened as it should. Musicians, sound people, organizers of OTHER events of this type found a wealth of connections and new friends.
The Band (later known as The House of Commons) was invited to perform at Goodstock after bassist Dave Strickland (original member of The Band) expressed an interest to Larry. Members of The Band had not played together for over 20 years. They performed at Goodstock as a "reunion" band and were a real crowd pleaser. The Band had one goal: NOT TO SUCK. Based on crowd response and reviews on the Goodstock message board, The Band succeeded in their goal.
The House of Commons present: GOODSTOCK, 2007
Phase I--Preparation
The first practice occurred in the home of Bill and Tina Kell in Providence, Rhode Island.
The band reunites - Andy searches for a chord - Van tickles the ivory
Van, Dave and Bill evaluate the practice -- Together again after 20+ years
Phase II-First performance
Second practice culminated in a performance at the Down Town Kitchen in Canton, GA. owned by Zack Kell, son of Bill Kell, drummer for the band
Rockin' at the TDK--Andy keeps the rhythm--David and Michael
Bill handles the skins--Dave is cool--Van contemplates
Phase III- Practice at Goodstock
Andy, Dave and Bill-Dave pumps the bass-Andy checks a chord with Van
Bill checks the tempo--The guys relax before tomorrow's performance
The practice ends with a cookout with steaks, spuds and suds.
Phase IV--Goodstock performance
The House of Commons--Van, Bill and Andy--Andy Dave and Van

Up to 10 days of unshockable colour. Fade proof, crack proof shining colour.
I got the colour 403 Hypnotise. I think the colours by Rimmell are good. it's good to add a clear top coat. By itself, it doesn't last 10 days as it says. The top coat helps.
the mascara stayed on myl ashes even after i work an 8 hour shift as a house keeper in a hospitial.great suff
I was looking for a fun orange colour for the summer at Shoppers the other day. I had several in front of me and the Rimmel "Tequila Sunshine" won for brightest most promising orange.
And let me tell you, this nail polish is amazing. It is now day 8 and my nails have just begun to chip.
So, it isn't quite 10 day wear, but I'll take 7-8 day wear! Most nail polishes don't last that long, even the expensive kinds. The polish is pretty 'goopy' and it looked great after one coat.
The Tequila Sunshine colour has been a hit, I've been getting compliments all week.
If you are looking to try a new colour - try the new 10 day wear from Rimmel.
I have this in electric, which is a (fairly) dark shimmery blue. I mixed it with Rimmel Black Satin polish (one coat of black and then one coat of electric on top) and got a nice deep shade of blue, but still not quite as deep as I'd like it to be. I mixed it with the black because I knew it would be too bright otherwise, but I think I need to experiment with it more. Next time I'll try 2 coats of black under this. Wear-wise it's only been 2 days but it's definitely better than other polishes I've used. I have a real problem with wear at the tips and it's noticeably better with this polish. Whether it will last 10 days remains to be seen, but I don't believe that any polish on earth can last that long without chipping or fading. But we'll see and if I remember I'll update this review. UPDATE: By yesterday (day 4) I had a lot of wear at the tips and some cracking so I took it off. No chips though, I'll say that. I think if I had a better topcoat it would last longer - I used L'oreal Pro Manicure but I don't think it's that good. It also seemed to get bluer every day, but I could just be crazy.

A few weeks ago I found Retronaut through Urban Velo. They posted this link to a Bicycle Safety Manual, that I happen to have. The images shown are only a fraction of the book and leave out the lead up to each accident. While the book may seem so square and somewhat anti bike, but it really is just common sense, which does elude many.
Finding Retonaut can be a real time suck. So many great images to view, so beware 😉

Having signed for a world record 89m pound transfer fee, Paul Pogba has been playing like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders, and the price tag has clearly been playing on his mind.
But it looks like the Frenchman's lightened some shoulders now with his Saturday night performance against Leicester which ended (4:1 against Leicester)
Speaking after the game to Sky Sports Pogba said: "I'm very happy for the result and this goal and I hope it's not going to be the last one!
"So just carry on, keep doing that, what we did today and after we can go and we have our goals.
"We were very focused. We knew that was going to be difficult. The first four games we were good, the two games then [against City and Watford] after we knew were going to be difficult, and now today we showed on the pitch a big performance from the team.
"I feel happy and I want to carry on like ths."

I don't know if you want to file this as a "You Can't Fix Stupid" moment, or a "You Can't Blame 'em for Trying" moment, but here we go:
Someone tried to smuggle a 20 POUND GIANT LOBSTER, a LIVE one, in their checked luggage at Boston Logan Airport!!! 😂😂😂
Of course, security found that one no problem. According to apnews.com, the TSA agent said it was found in a cooler and that it "cooperated quite nicely with the screening process." lolol I can't!
Seriously though, what are the chances the TSA agents are going to start screening all bags for butter now??

A Very Merry Christmas
A/N: Written with swiftasanarrow who has succeeded in staying on her chair throughout when writing this.
Warning: This is crack. To the extreme.
Song is Santa Baby, Kylie Minogue version.
Summary: The Red and Blue clans spend Christmas together. Their Kings especially so.
Disclaimer: We do not own [K]/ Project-K/ K-Project and whatever other names it has.
The last thing Munakata Reisi expected was to be in HOMRA's lounge listening to what seemed like the wailing of a thousand tortured cats being grinded and tossed around in a blender. In fact, it was this terrible cacophony of caterwauls which had woken him up in the first place. The last he remembered, HOMRA's music selection was a million times better than this.
He scanned his eyes slowly around the bar, taking in the sight of his Clansmen mixed with the Red Clan passing around drinks and was that a microphone? He must be mistaken. He blinked, hoping to clear his mind. Maybe this was all a dream and he'd just fallen asleep on his paperwork. He nodded to himself. Yes, that was the only explanation for such an extraordinary situation. He pinched his arm to wake himself up from this peculiar dream, and was surprised to find that it hurt.
Oh, so this is not a dream. Which made sense, since the only things he dreamt of were of puzzles and certain things.
"Captain, you are awake." Awashima Seri, his lieutenant and right-hand woman was beside him in an instant, and she held out a glass of punch. He accepted the glass gratefully- his head was throbbing a little.
Reisi set down the glass and looked around, trying to make sense of the situation, as was his instinct. He'd never expected the two rival clans to mix so well. Right now, there was a small scuffle for the microphone as the song came to an end (thank Heavens) and the Clansmen were arguing about who was going to sing next. Unexpectedly, in the forefront of the scuffle was Fushimi. He looked slightly tipsy as he tried to snatch the microphone.
Fushimi's main rival for the microphone was Yatagarasu Misaki, the self-proclaimed right-hand man of Suoh, if he recalled. Drunk himself, the skateboarder was yelling at Fushimi and prodding the other male away with his skateboard in his attempts to grab the microphone. In his excitement, he started swinging his skateboard around the bar wildly, narrowly missing a few heads and almost chipping off a corner of the bar counter. An irritated Izumo thus had to snatch the skateboard from him, while issuing threats to his life if his beloved bar obtained even a single scratch.
"I WANT TO SING!" Misaki screamed and hopped onto the coffee table. The crowd cheered as he raised the microphone (which he had gained control of), and started singing:
Reisi was sure that was not how one sang Jingle Bells.
His singing was cut off by the flying bananas Fushimi sent his way (where he got them from, no one knew, but it was probably from the fruit basket). Misaki was knocked clean off the table in one hit.
"SAAAAAAAA-RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Misaki leapt up from his spot on the floor and got into a fighting stance.
"Coooome at meeeeeeee, MIIIIIII SAAAAAAAAAAA KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIII." Fushimi was quick to react, but in his hastiness to fight, tripped and fell face-first into the bowl of heavily spiked punch.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Misaki started laughing at the other male, who had taken in quite a few gallons of the punch, and hence had gotten even more drunk.
"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING MISAKI? YOU WANT TO FIGHT?!" Fushimi roared as he staggered around the room in circles.
The situation descended into a fistfight as the Clansmen cheered on their respective vanguards and the microphone lay (temporarily) forgotten.
Reisi rubbed his temples as he tried to rid himself of his headache. He should probably request the crowd to be silent. He picked up the microphone lying on the floor and cleared his throat. The room turned silent at once, save for some muffled yells from the scuffle on the floor. All eyes were on him. Then, someone cheered:
This, of course, resulted in the combined forces of the two drunken clans cheering for him to sing something.
Reisi frowned a little at the noise. It was making his head hurt, and he felt a little dizzy. That was strange; he didn't remember drinking anything alcoholic, the only thing he drank was... dimly, he realised that the punch must have been the same as the heavily spiked one Fushimi's head had decided to take a swim in. The room had started to warp slightly as the cheering seemed to have gotten louder, and suddenly, he found himself feeling veerrrrry happy.
"SING! SING! SING!" The crowd continued their cheering, Reisi found himself being swept along with their enthusiasm, and he smiled goofily at them.
They want me to sing!
Reisi nodded and the opening chords of the next song came on. Unless he was very much mistaken (he wasn't), this was Santa Baby. With the liquid courage he'd imbibed, he belted out the first two verses confidently, if slightly slurred.
Santa Baby,
Just slip a sable under the tree
For me
Been an awful good girl
(Wait, girl? He's sure that's Fushimi laughing in the corner.)
Santa Baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby,
A 54 convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
He paused to take a quick breath. He definitely would never sing this sober. How he even knew the lyrics, he had no idea. He went on to the next verse.
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the Fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'll check out my Christmas list
(Hmm...kiss? He sure knows exactly who he wants to kiss. There's even mistletoe in one of the doorways.)
He looked around for that certain redhead he has been wanting to attach his lips to. However, a quick scan of the room told him that that person was currently missing. Disappointedly, he sang the next verse.
Santa Baby,
I want a yacht and really that's not
A lot
Been an angel all year
Santa Baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
A loud crash interrupted his song, and he looked up to see a flash of red coming down the stairs. It was none other than Suoh in was that a Santa suit? He rubbed his eyes and confirmed that it was indeed Suoh Mikoto in a Santa suit (complete with a snowy-white beard and bushy eyebrows). He wondered how many ponies were killed just to get the the King into that. He saw the red and black dress peeking out from Santa Mikoto's back and understood.
Mikoto was led (dragged) to a specially prepared seat right in the center of the bar, and was pushed down onto it. Reisi would be clapping his hands in delight if he wasn't busy holding the microphone. His mind began to fill with thoughts of what he could do to the redhead.
Santa Honey,
one little thing i really need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa Baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
At this, he was struck with a brilliant idea (one that would make him want to dig a hole and bury himself if he was sober). Yes, that was it. He would seduce Mikoto here and now, at this very moment.
He felt a sudden urge to get down on his knees, and so he did.
Santa cutie,
Fill my stocking with a duplex
And cheques
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa cutie,
and hurry down the chimney tonight
Mikoto was staring at him, his expression frozen, as if he had fallen into a trance. His red eyes were burning holes in Reisi's Santarina dress (which he now realised he was wearing), and Reisi was sure that if Mikoto had actually willed it, the dress would have burned off completely by now. So, he was glad that Mikoto did not- he did not want to be seen naked in front of all these people after all. If there were no one else, however... He wouldn't mind in the slightest.
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let´s see if you believe in me
He attempted to make his way over to Mikoto, but found that he was unable to get up, hence, he resorted to crawling towards the other man. He put one hand in front of the other, and slowly made his way there. He crawled the way a crab crawled across a sandy beach, and swayed his hips in the process. He was one sexy crab, he thought to himself.
It seemed as if Mikoto liked crabs as well, for he continued to stare at Reisi like he was a piece of crabmeat. Fresh crabmeat, on a platter, specially garnished for him. Mikoto looked hungry, starving, just like a famished lion who wanted his crab. Reisi wouldn't mind being eaten up whole by the sexy beast right in front of him.
Santa Baby,
Forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa Baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
By this time, Reisi had reached Mikoto's feet and his arms gave out on him, causing him to fall face first on Mikoto's shoes to uproarious applause from the clans. He could vaguely feel the microphone being taken from his hand and being flung to some other drunken Clansman. He felt strong hands wrap themselves around his waist and hoist him up. The next thing he knew, he was sitting on Mikoto's lap (the photos he later wanted to burn showed his extremely happily goofy expression).
He looked up at the ceiling as someone said, "Look, MISTLETOE!" The pretty little green plant up there could only mean one thing: the fulfilment of his dreams.
This time, the drunken chants weren't "Sing", but "KISS!"
Reisi moved as if in a dream; Mikoto's face was even closer than it had ever been, but Reisi wanted it to be even closer. His usual complete disregard of personal space taken to the extreme, he closed up whatever remaining gap between them and... Stayed there, hovering close to Mikoto's face.
They remained in the same position for a long period of time, and Reisi continued to stare into Mikoto's face.
Then, it happened.
Mikoto's lips brushed gently against his as he sat there dumbly. Reisi's hand came up to rest on Mikoto's chest as the lion claimed his lips, moaning softly as a tongue slipped in. The rest of the room faded away, and the two got lost in a world of their own. They were so busy being all sexy with each other that they failed to notice Izumo's palpable irritation.
"GET A ROOM!" he yelled, hurling Misaki's confiscated skateboard at them. The skateboard hit Mikoto's head, causing a bump the size of something very big to swell, effectively breaking up the increasingly steamy make-out session. Mikoto glared at his childhood friend in annoyance, but the moans from the man in his arms stopped him from burning the man to a crisp.
With that, Mikoto picked Reisi up and carried him up the stairs, sidestepping some of their fallen Clansmen (some of whom had since passed out drunk), and entering his room.
It shall be sufficient to say that a very well-fed lion and an extremely embarrassed Reisi emerged from the room the next morning, the latter vowing to destroy every shred of evidence of what had transpired that night.

She got out of school at 2:30 and she just walked in the door now at 10 p.m. Actually she didn't even come home Saturday night. Went to a party and got drunk and didn't bother coming home. Guess the silver lining is that she didn't drive. Walked in at 10 am and got into a fight and left again. I hate Mother's Day. Eleven days of school, 25 days until she turns 18. I'm done. I told her I wasn't going to her graduation. I am bitter and hurt and full of resentment. I am determined to start living my life. Nancy

Recently a study released by eMarketer, forecasted a growing in e-commerce of 20% to $40.9 billion this year up from $34.2 billion in 2011 in United States.
Apparel and accessories are overtaking the e-market, from books,music, and videos which had been considered the dominant in e-commerce, but for this year analysts are expecting just an 18% of growth.This is a very important trend for fashion brands, that are doubting going into e-commerce.
Just a few years ago, consumers had concerns about the fitting of their fashion items, but today technology its always moving on to offer the closest to physical shopping experience. For example eBay implanted an innovation app which allows users to "try on" sunglases by layering them over a picture of their face.
In addition the e-commerce is becoming integral in buying fashion, because many consumers may not buy the items online, but will use the online store as a tool to preview what they will buy in the physical store. This means online stores are important in the decision-making process, only 22% of men and 12% of women do not browse online before going to a store.

It's pretty remarkable that in this town Republican parliamentary tactics more appropriate for junior high school student council barely get passing notice or criticism. The truth is, in their heart of hearts, most reporters kind of admire the GOP for it.
So here's where we are today. With real unemployment in the range of 20 percent, Senate Republicans are making Democrats vote over and over on "controversial" amendments to the reconciliation bill — not because they have any real chance of stopping the reconciliation bill, or of seeing their amendments passed, but because it allows them to produce TV attack ads for the fall.
Here's our Top 10 Most Ridiculous GOP-Proposed Health Care Amendments, led by the esteemed Dr. Tom Coburn's amendment to ban federal funding of Viagra for sex offenders.
Next time a Republican senator goes on TV and says that instead of reforming our health care system, President Obama should have been focusing on jobs, jobs, jobs, maybe someone can ask him or her what Senate Republicans spent most of this week doing. Just for grins.

As we're approaching the end of this training phase (one week left after tomorrow), I gotta say, I'm feeling really good. A lot of the movement that I struggled with at first (when EVERYTHING was new) is becoming a lot easier. I'm also very aware of where my weaker spots are (cough, cough, right leg, cough, cough left arm). It's been really good to see those imbalances because it gives me the opportunity to focus on evening them out.
I also love when that I can look back at something I did a couple of months ago that was really hard and see how far I've come. It's reassuring because it means that not only is the training working but that I'm putting in the effort and working hard too. Adding in a third workout during the week has been great. It's not as much fun doing it by myself in my scary 70's inspired basement but I'm making it work and I love it. I think the highlight of my week is definitely finally being able to do proper, unassisted pushups!!! They aren't pretty but I can do about 3. Totally pumped! I couldn't do a single one at the beginning of the month. One step closer to re-gifting my snazzy red bracelet back to the gym *happy dances*. I'm already thinking ahead to next month and what my goals will be. I will definitely make it my goal to do a third workout at home every week on top of running.
Meal Prep this week went well. I love this challenge and seeing all the delicious food other people are making as well. You can definitely tell that it's been cold out because there are a lot of soups being enjoyed by the Fukumoto FitFam.
Speaking of soups…we still have two shopping days left in our month and with both boys birthdays (Mr. O turned 3 yesterday and my oldest turns 5 tomorrow…gah!), the budget is quickly getting eaten up knowing I'll be feeding more than just us. I'm going to have to get really creative with our eating over the next bit to ensure we're using up what's already in our pantry and trying to keep our purchases to perishables as much as possible.
My new recipe last week was a falafel patty. Good thing they were good because the recipe made a lot! I also made the black bean veggie burgers that I love, cooked beans up for freezing (HUGE money saver BTW), made up some waffle mix for waffle Sundays, and black bean salsa soup->my go to when money is tight. We'll be eating a lot of this in the coming weeks :P)
Going into the last week of the challenge, I'm still under budget on groceries for the month (though last week was a whopping $200 bottom line. Ouch) but I need to stretch out every cent. Doesn't look like I'll be making a trip to Costco this month either. I suspect to keep everything on budget, I'll be hitting up the local bulk store to keep things under control.

Strawberry Pancakes
1 photo of Strawberry Pancakes Recipe
Jennifer Bass
I wanted to make something special for my boyfriend on the day of a job interview. He loves strawberries so I decided to make some pancakes utilizing them. He loved them!
- 1 c
- bisquick
- 1
- egg
- 1/2 c
- milk
- 4 large
- fresh strawberries, leaves cut off and strawberry coarsely chopped
- butter
- whipped cream (optional)
- 2 large
- fresh strawberries, sliced
How to Make Strawberry Pancakes
- 1In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, eggs, milk, and strawberries. Using a wire whisk, beat until batter is somewhat smooth but has a few lumps from the strawberries.
- 2On a heated griddle or non-stick skillet, spray non-stick cooking spray. Pour just under 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet. If using a large skillet, you should be able to get about 2 pancakes per batch. Don't overcrowd the skillet.
- 3Cook until edges are dry and batter starts to bubble a little in the middle. Carefully turn the pancake over using a spatula. Once you have flipped the pancake, take a basting brush and dip into butter. Carefully spread the butter over the pancakes while they are in the skillet.
- 4Serve with whipped topping and sliced strawberries.

Just so you're not confuzed, Bill or William Moody is the judge for the 34th district court and he has been there since 1988 (don't quote me on that year, someone please comment with the right year).Bill also ran for Texas Supreme Court several years ago but I think he lost. Joe Moody recently won the highly contested race for Texas State Representative to replace the seat occupied by Pat Hagerty. The republican candidiate Donald or Dee Margo recently nudged out Haggerty in the primaries (read earlier post) only to loose the race to Moody. Joe is a vitrual unknown in politics because he is relativly young lawyer for the DA. Still, he was able to oust Margo by about 7 points who is a much more seasoned politician and business man who also about twice Moody's age. He's also been in the news more after running against Eliot Shapleigh in a previous election (read earlier post) and after he's come under fire for some of his associations. I think this might be the end of Margo's Texas career after having lost a senate and now a house race. But you never know.

Recent elections.
I'm sure none of you need me to post about the big election seeing as news of it is everywhere. But Obama's win (even though it an amazing part of history) has overshadowed the local elections. For example, no one that I've talked to recently new that Wiles beat Slotz out for Sheriff by 40 points, nor did they know that Margo lost to Moody, nor did they even know which Moody they were voting for Bill or Joe.

I went skiing yesterday morning. I slapped skins on that ancient pair of Truckers, not yet past their glory days, snapped my old Koflachs into shiny Silvretta bindings and took off. The fresh snowfall crunched under my tips and my skis swished along on top of the unbroken trail. It was glorious, flying freely across the rolling Western Pennsylvania fields, old strip mines, and pine forests. For an hour I quietly slid across the frosted landscape, until the activity finally brought me to introspection.
I thought to myself that my life goes along much like I was that morning. Forward, forward, sliding along almost effortlessly, sometimes not even realizing how much ground you've covered. Like a skinned ski, life flows in one direction, and try as you might, you simply can't slide backwards. It takes a conscious turn to reverse your direction. There are tough times too. Sometimes when the going gets steep you have to work hard to make your goal, and sometimes you do slip a little. Sometimes you are gliding along when, for no particular reason, balance deserts you and leaves you sprawled out on the ground with a facefull of powder. Regardless, it is always worth getting up and giving it another go. There was no goal, just to live and learn and explore and enjoy.
On Tuesday I accepted a job in Estes Park, Colorado. I thought I would send out a few applications over the last few weeks and see what comes; well, I ended up with a full-blown life change. I am as nervous as hell. And so excited that I can barely last a minute without thoughts of the new life coming down the line.
Maybe Apryle and I are young and stupid, but I don't believe either of us the latter. As for young: in my 22 years, I have had more opportunity than most people have in a lifetime. I have seen more than most would see in three lifetimes. I have read books, gone to school and college, surfed the internet, fished and hunted far and wide by day, hewn bows from staves, tooled leather, knapped flint, tanned buckskins, built computer networks, programmed five languages, worked in cubeland, traveled Europe, drank strange brews, learned to speak Spanish, built websites, visited the Middle Kingdom, studied Chinese, worked for a non-profit, lived in Beijing, counted calories-per-dollar dirtbag climbing in Wyoming, spent months in a tent in Patagonia, slept on the floor for a summer in Peru, worked in retail, managed a student organization, loved and been loved, climbed hard rock and soft ice, delved into underground caves, paddled the farthest reaches of South America, and run hard r! apids in Pennsylvania.
I daresay, few people have the right to judge me and my decisions. How many times have I heard, "How long have you two been together?", "Do you have a job, or a place to live?", or the one I detest most: "You know, I wouldn't do that if I were you…"
Of course you wouldn't! Nor would you fly alone to China or South America and seek adventures! Or launch out onto a steep section of poorly protected rock and howl after the crux! Or live on next-to-nothing and be perfectly happy and content! Most people simply do not understand my choices; they don't have to. But until I fail, keep your worries and insecurities to yourselves.
Listen not to the critics, who put their own dreams on the shelf.
If you want to be true then admit it, you've got to find out for yourself!
How you ever gonna know if you could have done it?
How you ever gonna know victory?
How you ever gonna know if you're down here doing what the Good Lord put you here to do?
How you ever gonna know how it feels to hold her?
How you ever gonna know what you never knew?
How you ever gonna know, if you never dare to try?
I have this vision, of a little place with a warm fire burning in the stove. Steaming cups of hot chocolate, a warm rug under my bare feet, Waking up early to run or ski before work….and living the life that so many wish they had but never will.

Cell phone/texting news: The "Driving Under the Influence of Electronics Act" approved during the 2017 legislative session is now in effect. It hiked fines and allows reporting of offenders to their insurance companies. The act doubles fines for repeat violations of texting or other uses of a handheld cell phone or other portable electronic device. Offenses become moving violations. The new law went went into effect July 23; the State Patrol's warning period for holding cell phones ends Jan. 23.
Sponsored by state Sen. Ann Rivers and Rep. Jessyn Farrell, the 2017 act did a write-through of the distracted driving laws, which had fallen behind the times. The law now focuses on the holding of personal electronic devices, but allows "minimal" interaction to turn on some functions such as GPS.
"All too often from our own cars, we see other drivers reading their cellphones — and cross our fingers," Gov. Jay Inslee when he signed the bill into law last May.
Current restrictions:
- Drivers prohibited from holding cell phones and other wireless communications devices. Texting barred.
- Teenage drivers are barred from using all cell phones and other wireless communications devices.
- "Driving dangerously distracted" prohibited.
Handheld device fine: $136 (first offense), then $234 (primary enforcement). Driving distracted fine: $30 (secondary enforcement).
Read the Washington cell phone law | safety belt & child-restraint laws
Distracted driving legislation (2017):
Senate Bill 5289: Would rewrite distracted driving law to bar holding of personal electronic devices while driving unless they are in hands-free mode. Cites a list of potential smartphone functions such as composing texts, taking photos and viewing videos. Allows "minimal use of a finger to activate, deactivate, or initiate a function of the device." Reclassifies offenses as moving violations. Fines doubled for serial violations. Establishes offense of "driving dangerously distracted," but with secondary enforcement and fine of $30.
Takes effect Jan. 1. Approved as SSB 5289 by the Transportation Committee on Feb. 21. Approved by the full Senate in a 36-13 vote of March 6. Amended and approved by the House in a 63-35 vote of April 12. ( Changed to make first offense not reportable to insurance.) Amended and approved again by the House in a 61-36 vote of April 19. (Effective date now Jan. 1, 2019.) Approved again by the Senate in a 39-10 vote of April 19. Signed into law by the governor May 16. Takes effect July 23. (Rivers)
House Bill 1371: Companion to SB 5289, above. Approved as SHB 1371 by the Transportation Committee on Feb. 15. Approved by the House Committee on Transportation on April 4. Approved by the full House in a 52-45 vote of March 7. (Farrell)
Distracted driving notes (2017):
Gov. Jay Inslee vetoed the part of the Driving Under the Influence of Electronics Act that set a 2019 start; it went into full effect July 23. The Washington State Patrol said it will allow a six-month warning period, but other law-enforcement agencies are writing tickets right away.
Shelly Baldwin, legislative liaison for the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, says there is "just a swirling vortex of people who want" to see a distracted driving law update to succeed in 2017. House Transportation Committee Chairwoman Judy Clibborn told the Seattle Times an update law had better chances of success because lawmakers are more familiar with the issue.
Both Rep. Jessyn Farrell and Sen. Ann Rivers saw their distracted driving measures advance but ultimately fall short in recent years.
Washington state troopers handed out 1,564 citations for cell phone-related infractions last year.
Washington's Traffic Safety Commission says the previous distracted driving laws were groundbreaking a decade ago, but outdated today. The previous state law barred text messaging but "doesn't preclude you from looking at Facebook or the Internet as you're driving," said director Darrin Grondel.
2016 distracted driving notes:
A roadway worker has died a half year after being hit by an alleged distracted driver. Cody Meyer, a flagger, died May 24. The driver reportedly admitted to making phone calls and checking for messages before hitting Meyer, 23. The driver, Andrew Richwine, faces a vehicular homicide charge.
State Rep. Jessyn Farrell filed legislation to update the distracted driving law. Her HB 2574 would have doubled fines for repeat offenders, but that provision was removed in committee. The Farrell plan bars reading or entering data into a handheld communications device, and so would cover many uses of smartphones, such as accessing social media.
2016 distracted driving legislation:
House Bill 2574: General rewrite of state distracted driving law. Would prohibit a driver from reading or manually entering data on a handheld communications device.
Doubles fines for serial offenders. Specifies that first offenders are not to be reported to insurance companies. Adds distracted driving questions to driver's exam. Allows for device use at stop lights, in self-driving vehicles and allows some uses by commercial drivers. Approved by the House Transportation Committee (as substitute) on Feb. 9. Retained for special session. (Farrell)
2015 distracted driving legislation:
(Substitute) Senate Bill 5656: Would prohibit use of handheld communications devices while driving to include most forms of electronic data manipulation. Doubles distracted driving fine for serial offenders (within five years). Would supersede any local laws. Adds distracted driving questions to driver's exam quiz. Would take effect Aug. 1, 2015. Approved as substitute bill by the Transportation Committee on Feb. 27. Approved by the full Senate in a 35-14 vote of March 10. Died in House Transportation Committee as vote deadline passed. (Rivers/Transportation Committee)
2015 distracted driving notes:
Cell phones were linked to 521 crashes in 2014, the State Patrol reports.
The Senate voted March 10 to expand the electronic distracted driving laws to outlaw most forms of data retrieval and transmission by handheld devices. But the House Transportation Committee's deadline for a vote came and went, and the legislation is dead for the year. The panel's chairwoman said the votes weren't there for the bill.
State Sen. Ann Rivers wrote the original bill. "We have to do something to send a message that we value traffic safety," says Rivers, sponsor of legislation updating the state's distracted driving law, which dates back to 2007. Senate Bill 5656, introduced in late January, used language that covered smartphone activities such as accessing social media and using email.
No one spoke against the bill at a hearing Feb. 9, but representatives for AT&T asked that the bill be clarified to ensure drivers could still make hands-free calls.
In Seattle, police handed out 2,249 tickets for handheld cell phone violations in 2014. That's on top of 99 tickets for texting & driving.
State Sen. Ann Rivers, sponsor of the 2015 distracted driving overhaul, says: "People need to just hang up and drive, or not text and drive, or not look at their email and drive. It's really a lot about sending a public message and waking people up."
One goal of the Rivers-sponsored legislation is to bring Washington state in line with federal DOT guidelines "to ensure that the maximum amount of federal funds" are available for safety programs about distracted driving.
2014 distracted driving notes:
Read a report on the push for new Washington distracted driving laws.
The state Traffic Safety Commission posted an online video featuring footage of officers making traffic stops while trying to enforce the texting law. One driver says she was entering GPS data; another guy says he was viewing currency-trading info. Not texting. Officers say their hands are tied under the current law. View the Washington state texting video.
An attempt to update Washington's outdated distracted driving laws failed in the Senate last session. It was sponsored by outgoing state Sen. Tracey Eide. "There's a stakeholder group supporting SB 6227 and they are searching for another senator to reintroduce the bill next year," her executive assistant told HandsFreeInfo in mid-October.
Distracted driving restrictions are losing a supporter with the retirement of state Sen. Tracey Eide, who won't be running for re-election for the new biennium legislative term. She served in the legislature for 18 years. The Federal Way Democrat "may be remembered most for her successful efforts to keep drivers from texting and phoning on state roads," the News Tribune said.
The Washington State Patrol supports the legislative push to update the distracted driving laws. "The problem is holding the phone," WSP spokesman Bob Calkins told the Olympian. "When you're driving, you should be driving — not checking your email, not checking Facebook, not texting." The interest in updated Washington state distracted driving laws is inspired, in part, by a desire for federal funding that would support safety education programs. The state is not eligible because of the outdated wording, which simply bans text messaging and the holding of cell phones to the driver's ear.
State Sen. Tracey Eide previously pushed through the laws that made text messaging and holding a cell phone while driving primary offenses. She tried again, unsuccessfully, in 2014 with with legislation that would bar drivers from holding wireless communications devices in any way. The restriction would have applied to any use in roadways, including while temporarily stopped at red lights or stop signs. Eide's plan also sought double fines for serial offenders. A second conviction within five years would have brought a $248 fine. "You being behind the wheel of a car scares the heck out of me when you''re using these devices," Eide told NW News. This is Eide's last term.
The State Patrol handed out 1,216 texting citations in 2013.
Distracted driving legislation (2014):
Senate Bill 6227: Would specify that drivers may not hold wireless communications devices. Includes temporary stops while at red lights or stop signs. Would double fines for repeat offenders of electronic distracted driving laws, to $248. Applies with second conviction within five years. Mandates distracted driving questions on license exams. Numerous miscellaneous changes to distracted driving statute. Died in the Senate. (Elde)
2013 distracted driving notes:
An observational study of drivers in Washington found that 8 percent were busy with cell phones or similar electronic devices. About half of those were text messaging while driving.
The study totaled observations of 7,800 drivers at intersections in King, Snohomish, Pierce, Spokane, Yakima and Whatcom counties. One in 12 were distracted by electronic devices, said Beth Ebel, head of the public safety study, conducted in summer 2012. Ebel said in September: "These findings suggest that distracted driving is more common than we thought and that texting has become a major cause of distraction."
Ebel, a medical doctor, said the Washington distracted driving study was needed to measure progress in the three years since drivers' use of handheld devices was banned in the state. It is part of a broader state study of the effects of law enforcement on electronic distracted driving.
State troopers cited more than 1,000 drivers in 2012 for texting while behind the wheel. More than 6,600 others were ticketed for gabbing on handheld cell phones — meaning the devices were used without a hands-free feature or attachment.
The Washington State Patrol says drivers who are poking along in traffic because they're busy text messaging are clogging the state's roads and highways.
The WSP said backups caused by texting drivers "impede traffic, frustrate other drivers, and impact the state's economy by interfering with freight mobility." The "guidance" of July 15, 2013, was unusual in that the State Patrol admitted it didn't have data to back up its concerns, but felt strongly enough about its observations to issue the alert.
"You and I are sitting in traffic, going nowhere, because someone ahead of us was texting," said WSP Chief John Batiste. "We think texting is a factor in far more of these minor collisions than we'll ever be able to prove."
Many law enforcement agencies in the state cracked down on electronic distracted driving between May 20 and June 2. The sweep in Spokane, Whitman, Pend Oreille and Ferry counties is supported by Washington's Target Zero vehicle safety campaign. Officers will be looking for drivers who text message or use handheld cell phones. Last year's crackdown netted 1,059 cell phone tickets.
The Washington State Patrol says it isn't sure how many texting while driving collisions are occurring, since typically they cause only minor property damage. "We do not have the legal authority to get search warrants for cell phone records in cases of minor collisions," WSP Chief John Batiste says. "Our priority in those cases is to get traffic moving again."
No significant distracted driving legislation was filed for the 2012-2013 sessions. One successful 2013 bill clarifies that commercial drivers cannot use handheld devices or text message while temporarily stopped — as in at a traffic light — but must pull to the side of the road.
The Metropolitan King County Council has created the traffic offense of "inattentive driving." It went into effect with the new year. The state already prohibits most forms of electronic distracted driving, but the county law adds activities such as eating, wrangling children, putting on make-up and eating.
The King County law calls for secondary enforcement and fines of $124. It was approved Nov. 5, 2012. Distracted driving killed 122 people in King County between 2004 and 2008, safety researchers reported. Seattle is the county seat.
2013 distracted driving legislation:
House Bill 1752: Specifies that drivers cannot use handheld devices while stopped temporarily, but must be pulled to the side of the road. Brings state distracted driving laws regarding commercial drivers into compliance with federal regulations. Approved by the Senate in a unanimous vote of April 15 and by the House in a unanimous vote of March 5. Signed by the governor May 14. (Licensing Department request)
Senate Bill 5847: Would establish that distracted driving data collected in accident reports cannot be used in legal actions against government bodies. (King)
SB 5590: Companion bill to HB 1752, above. Approved by the Transportation Department on Feb. 21. Extended into the special session. (Elde)
Washington cell phone, texting notes (2012):
Washington's upgrade to primary enforcement has been good for the traffic ticket stats: The number of distracted driving citations is more than five times as high since the law changed, the Highway Patrol said. That's 6,850 tickets from mid-June 2010 to mid-May 2011, compared with 1,344 in the same stretch of time beginning in 2009. Texting and using handheld cell phones have received primary enforcement since June 2010.
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission says 1,300 crashes were linked to electronic distracted driving from 2006 to 2010. Between 2004 and 2008, distracted driving in Washington State contributed to 758 deaths. In the period 1998-2007, 18 percent of fatal crashes were blamed on "inattention." The commission points out that collision data collected by crash investigators significantly underreports driver distraction.
2012 distracted driving legislation:
House Bill 2736: Would separate commercial and "noncommercial" drivers with regard to text messaging law. Specifies that the driver of a commercial motor vehicle can text while pulled off to the side of the road with the motor on or off. Defines texting as a "serious traffic violation." Amended and approved by the House Committee on Transportation on Feb. 6 (amendment removed exemption for some school bus drivers). Approved by the House in a 95-0 vote taken Feb. 11. "Reintroduced and retained" April 11 but not approved. (Department of Licensing via Hansen)
Senate Bill 6534: Companion bill to HB 2736, above. (Department of Licensing via Eide):
2011 legislation:
HB 1103: Revises wording of state prohibitions on video devices in vehicles. Ban would apply only to use of video devices visible to the driver, with the exception of live images of vehicle backing up. Approved by the House in a 90-3 vote on Feb. 22, and then amended and approved by the Senate in a 48-0 vote April 1. The House concurred April 18 (97-0) and the bill was signed by the governor May 16. Law took effect July 22, 2011. (Kristiansen)
2010 legislation:
Washington State Senate Bill 6345: Would make text messaging and holding a cell phone to the ear while driving primary offenses, toughening the existing state law. Also would prohibit drivers with instruction permits or intermediate licenses from using cell phones or text messaging. Fine of $124. Companion bill to HB 2635, below. Approved by the state Senate on Feb. 5, 2010, and then by the House Transportation Committee on Feb. 24. Approved by the full House on March 3, but without the primary enforcement status for adult cell phone violations. On March 6, the Senate rejected the House's watered-down version of the bill and sent it back to representatives. The House agreed to the Senate's version on March 11 and the measure was signed Gov. Chris Gregoire on March 26. Latest action: Primary enforcement of the Washington state distracted driving law began June 10. (Eide)
Washington State House Bill 2635: Companion bill to SB 6345, above. Fine of $124. Heard in House Transportation Committee on Jan. 18. (Carlyle)
Washington cell phone, texting notes (pre-2012):
Texting and using handheld cell phones while driving were targeted with primary enforcement as of June 10, 2010. The Washington state House and Senate butted heads over the plan to toughen existing distracted driving laws, but the measure finally was approved and signed by the governor.
An insurance company poll of Washington state drivers found 83 percent supported the current $124 fine for texting while driving or thought it should be higher. Only 11 percent thought the fine was too high. The poll by PEMCO reported that up to 80 percent of the state's drivers are unaware that distracted driving tickets are not part of their driving records. "Perhaps that's not a bad misperception, if it discourages almost half of all drivers from texting and talking," a PEMCO spokesman said Aug. 18.
Drivers ticketed for handheld cell phone use in the three weeks after the new law took effect could be in for a dismissal and refund. The fault lies with the Washington State Department Of Licensing, which failed to update its register of motor traffic laws. Affected jurisdictions include Federal Way, Olympia, Bremerton, Puyallup and Lacey. Tickets issued there between June 10 and July 1 (2010) are eligible for dismissal upon request by the driver.
The Washington State Patrol said it issued 670 tickets to distracted drivers in the 20 days after the tougher penalties went into effect June 10, 2010. Cell phone use brought 633 tickets and texting resulted in 34. About 500 warnings also were issued in that period.
The 2008 distracted driving law has lowered the number of accidents attributed to handheld electronic devices, the State Patrol says.
State Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way, saw her bill approved by the Senate and House, but the upgrade to primary enforcement for violations of the adult cell phone ban initially was defeated in the House. Representatives reconsidered on March 11 and the plan went to the governor, who signed it March 26.
"I've fought for this for 10 years, and sometimes I thought this day would never come," Eide said after the bill cleared the Legislature. "Maybe now people will pay attention to their driving instead of their conversations."
Eide led the Senate in rejecting the House's new version, in an unusual Saturday session March 6.
After the Senate passed SB 6345, she said: "It's becoming an epidemic, people are not paying attention, and it's extremely serious." The vote was 33-15.
Eide sponsored the state's 2008 hands-free law for cell phone use.
In 2009, more than 1,600 tickets were written for violations of the handheld cell phone ban, the state patrol said. About 230 people received tickets for texting while driving.
Eide's bill also would cover primary enforcement for text messaging while driving and eliminate cell phone use entirely for drivers with learners permits or intermediate licenses. has the companion bill, HB 2635.
During SB 6345 debate in the Senate Transportation Committee, a student crossing guard testified as to the dangers of his job due to adult drivers distracted by their cell phones.
"Studies show that texting drivers are as dangerous on the road as drivers with a blood-alcohol level of .16 — twice the legal limit," Eide said in a statement. "When you consider that two-thirds of teen drivers say they text and drive, we've got a critical public-safety issue on our hands. We need to strengthen our laws."
In testimony before the House Transportation committee on Jan. 18, HB 2635 sponsor Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, said: "In Washington state, 97 percent aware (driver cell-phoning and text messaging are) against the law, but it is flouted because it's a secondary offense." State Patrol Chief John Batiste testified in favor of the bill, likening the offenses to drunk driving.
The text-messaging ban went into effect Jan. 1, 2008. The hands-free law became effective July 1, 2008, the same day as California's heavily publicized cell phone driving law.
The fine for using a cell phone without a hands-free device is $124, but drivers must have committed another infraction to get that ticket. (See 2010 legislation, above.)
One year after the cell phone driving law took effect, the State Patrol reported these numbers: 4,939 drivers were stopped for use of handheld cell phones and 1,659 were ticketed. The majority of stops resulted in warnings. For text messaging, the State Patrol said 577 drivers were pulled over and 221 tickets were written. The number of collisions attributed to use of handheld devices fell from 1,118 (2007) to 827.
The 2009 Legislature adjourned on April 26, 2009. No bills concerning cell phones or text messaging were considered.
Washington state drivers' attitudes about the cell phone driving law are being tracked by the insurance company PEMCO. In February 2008, before the law went into effect, a poll of drivers found that 60 percent of them believed motorists' use of a handheld cell phone should be a primary offense. Three months after the law took effect, 50 percent replied that should be a primary offense.
"Perhaps not surprising, younger drivers are significantly more likely than their older counterparts to prefer that the law remains a secondary offense," the PEMCO pollsters reported. "For their part, younger drivers are also more likely to admit that they talk on the phone only if they don't see a law enforcement person nearby (19 percent versus 4 percent)."
Texting law leader: Washington was among the first six states to outlaw text messaging while driving. As of summer 2009, 14 states have adopted texting bans for motorists.
The prohibition of using hands for cell phone use while driving was signed by the governor in May 2007.
