Alcoholism is a progressive disease characterized by four primary attributes which include preoccupation (increase desire to drink), physical dependence, lack of self-restraint, and development of tolerance.
Over the years research has improved our general understanding of the devastating potential this disease presents for alcohol abusers. By analyzing current alcoholism statistics we see the effects of alcohol on behaviors and society.
• Alcohol dependence and abuse cost the U.S taxpayers approximately $276 billion in 2005.
• Alcoholism improves a drinker's odds of developing cancer of the throat, larynx, liver, colon, kidneys, rectum and esophagus. It is believe to contribute to immune system disorders, brain damage, harming the unborn and cirrhosis of the liver.
• 43% of U.S. citizens are related to someone who is presently alcoholic.
• 13.8 million U.S. adults have personal issues with alcohol, while 8.1 million of that number, officially suffer alcoholism.
• It takes about 15 years for an adult to become a full-fledge alcoholic, but the process is sped up considerably in teens and young adults. In contrast with those who drink in moderation, people who abuse alcohol are estimated to spend from 1.5% to 18.7% of their total income on alcohol and alcohol related items. The large fluctuation is largely based on age and sex.
• One half million U.S. children aged nine to 12 are addicted to alcohol.
• Non-alcoholic members of alcoholic's families use 10 times as much sick leave as families where alcohol is not a problem. 80% of these family members report their ability to perform work is significantly impaired as a result of living with an alcoholic abuser.
• Alcoholics spend 4 times the amount of time in the hospital as non-drinkers, mostly from drinking related injuries.
With the use of a good nutritional supplement, as those contained in the QuietMinds formula, augmented with other inexpensive vitamins, minerals and amino acids that can be purchased at the average vitamin outlet, people can stop alcohol cravings and restore themselves to good health.
Obviously, alcohol is a liquid sugar which is evident by looking at its chemical formula. Dr. Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD determined many years ago that biochemical individuality and sugar cravings contributed to alcoholism, especially if his patients had low blood sugar or problems metabolizing alcohol. As a biochemist, Hoffer reasoned that niacin (vitamin B3) could restore mental health, even after repeated episodes of drinking. He researched vitamin therapy for decades, found the practice safe and effective, subsequently helping thousands of patients recover and live well.
Realizing that most physicians don't test for biochemical disorders, monitor nutrition and prescribe vitamins, Hoffer wrote a series of books for patients, families and caregivers in which he introduced biochemistry, summarized research and shared scientific and medical information about orthomolecular medicine. Prior to that Abram Hoffer had published his research in scientific and medical journals only to become disappointed and perplexed when the American Psychiatry Association refused to accept his research or conduct their own double-blind placebo-controlled study to confirm or disprove his findings.
Sometime around 1960 while doing his research, Abram Hoffer met and became friends with the co-founder of Alcoholic Anonymous, Bill W. Dr. Hoffer maintained his personal interest in alcoholism and had come to the attention of Bill W. who learned of Hoffer's use of mega vitamin therapy for treating of alcoholics and "became very enthusiastic about it because niacin gave these unfortunate patients immense relief from their chronic depression and other physical and mental complaints."
Hoffer described to Bill W. the positive results that he and his research partner, Dr. Humphrey Osmund, were experiencing with the treatment of schizophrenic patients, some of whom were also alcoholic. He recounts in his paper "Vitamin B-3: Niacin and its Amide" about which Bill W. was very curious concerning the vitamin and niacin research "and began to take niacin 3 g daily." Within six months he was convinced that orthomolecular treatment for alcoholics was going to be helpful to alcoholics and gave niacin to 30 of his close friends in AA and persuaded them to try it. Twenty of them were free of anxiety, tension and depression within two months. He wanted to persuade members of AA, especially the doctors in AA, that orthomolecular supplementation would be a useful addition to treatment. "Bill became unpopular with the members of the board of AA International. The medical members who had been appointed by Bill, felt that he had no business messing about with treatment using vitamins." They "knew" that vitamin therapy could not be therapeutic as Bill had found itl Hoffer concluded, "For this reason Bill provided information to the medical members of AA outside of the National Board, distributing three of his amazing pamphlets at his own expense. They are now not readily available."
Hoffer findings followed the conclusions from scientific examinations of Nobel Prize winner Roger Williams, PhD, an American biochemist who named folic acid and discovered pantothenic acid. Williams was researching vitamins in the 1940s and observed that lab rats vary in their tolerance for alcohol. By experimenting with vitamins he recommended that vitamins could and should be used for treating alcoholism and developed the concept of biochemical individuality. Subsequently, in 1959 he released a stellar paper, Alcoholism – The Nutritional Approach. Since that time many other research documents have been released on the subject of treating alcoholism with orthomolecular nutrition, including other papers by Abram Hoffer, Humphrey Osmond and others. The most recent definitive work was released in 2009, The Vitamin Cure for Alcoholism. This concise 134 page book is authored by Andrew Saul, PhD, and Abram Hoffer shortly before his death.
What should the alcoholic do to stop drinking and return his or her body to a normally functioning one?
1. Commence QuietMinds Nutritional Supplements starting at the recommended beginning levels and graduate up to the eight capsules, four times per day, for a total of 32 capsules daily.
2. Take vitamin C to saturation, (on the order of 10,000 to 20,000 mg per day). The high doses of vitamin C chemically neutralize the toxic breakdown products of alcohol metabolism. Vitamin C also increases the liver's ability to reverse the fatty acid build-up that are common in alcoholics.
Note: To titrate to saturation, take 1,000 mg. of vitamin C every hour. When saturation is reached, there will be a single episode of diarrhea; then reduce the dosage to 1000 mg. every four hours.
3. Augment QuietMinds formula with an additional B50 complex tablet/capsule, which contains at least 50mg of each of the B-vitamins, 6 times per day.
4. Augment the QuietMinds formula with three tablespoons of Lecithin, daily.
Note: This provides additional inositol and choline. Their functions are related to the B- complex above. Also, lecithin mobilizes fats out of the liver.
5. Augment QuietMinds Nutritional Supplements with 3000 mg of L-Glutamine, daily.
Note: L-Glutamine is an amino acid that decreases physiological cravings for alcohol. It is one of two primary energy providers that burn glycogen to provide fuel to the brain, while stimulating many neuro-functions. L-Glutamine is naturally produced in the liver and the kidneys. Alcohol harms the kidney and the liver, so supplementation is vital. Concurrently L-Glutamine reduces alcohol and sugar cravings.
After arriving at the recommended QuietMinds loading dose, faithfully continue the 32 capsule regimen for at least 16 weeks, or until stability is established and any craving for alcohol has thoroughly been eliminated.
Contact QuietMinds at: 1-855-KASSIDI (855-527-7434) or (720)-234-7739, for a specialist to recommend telephone counselors and therapists who are qualified to direct your recovery.

The Fernandina Beach movie theater that closed more than two years ago reopened Thursday with new owners and a lot of changes. The B&B Theatres Amelia Island 7 has new curved screens, electric reclining seats, a full bar, a new concession stand, self-serve sodas, new carpet, new bathrooms, etc.
The Marquee Bar will have beer, wine and cocktails for before, during and after the movies.
The theater, once part of the Carmike chain, closed in November 2014, three months before Carmike opened its 10-screen theater in Yulee. That's been called the AMC Yulee 10 since AMC purchased Carmike last year.
B&B Theatres, a 93-year-old family-owned company based in Missouri, purchased the theater and has been renovating it for about four months. It's the seventh-largest theater chain in the country with 401 screens at 50 locations, but this is the first in North Florida.

A Trifecta
New York.
With our New Hampshire day out of the way, we proceeded on to New York. Originally the plan was for us to hit some of the North Country's biggest game. However a certain member of the team missed his alarm, and pushed what was supposed to be a 5:30am departure back to a 7am departure. In light of our not-so-alpine-start we had to reel in our ambitions, and come up with something a bit more sensible and straightforward. A quick consultation with Mr. Haas' Slide Guide to the 'Dacks gave us a plethora of options. With a stiff wind out of the north east, but a strong March sun beating down, we picked a south facing slide, and had ourselves a grand Adirondack adventure.
Yours truly led the charge (photo: KC)
After years of banishment, this is the first season that the edict has been lifted and snowboarders are allowed in the Adirondacks. Christian was glad he could shred freely.
The views are OK over there.
The snow is OK too I guess.
Kristin decided to make dollar signs out of Christian's turns… bwahaha

Cuba will respect Fidel Castro's dying wish that no statues be erected in his honor and no streets be named after him. Despite his omnipresence that endured for decades, the late communist leader always said he did not want any monuments in his honor on the island."There is no cult of personality around any living revolutionary," Castro stated in 2003. "The leaders of this country are human beings, not gods."
Consequently, Cuba's National Assembly approved the law, which "bans commemorative statues of Fidel Castro and naming monuments and public places after the former leader.
Despite Fidel's sentiments, Raul told the Assembly that "His fighting spirit will remain in the conscience of all Cuban revolutionaries, today, tomorrow and always," Some have predicted that Fidel's legend will grow even more despite his death, much like Che Guevara.
There a couple exceptions to the law banning the use Castro's name in public places. The term Fidel Castro may used as a name for any institution created to study his role in Cuban history. The law also does not ban using his image, photo or likeness for public acts, Cuban military institutions, and educational or cultural entities.

San Antonio's Center for Foods of the Americas is set to grace the pages of the Aug. 21st special edition of Gourmet. The issue's focus is Latino food.
In an article dubbed "The School that Salsa Built" Texas Monthly contributor Patricia Sharpe will take a look at local billionaire Kit Goldsbury's contribution to the school.
Goldsbury, an entrepreneur who built Pace Foods from a regional, family-owned salsa bottler into a nationally recognized brand synonymous with salsa, made a $35 million donation to the institute in May.
Goldsbury is a graduate of the San Antonio Academy. He was named to the Forbes magazine list of richest people in 2006.

text: Baidu (BIDU) is expected to report Q4 earnings after the market close on Monday, February 4 with a conference call scheduled for 8:00 pm ET. Baidu is a Chinese web services company that provides a search engine for web pages, audio files and multimedia... EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of $1.29 on revenue of $1.0B. The consensus range is $1.21-$1.36 for EPS, and $991.73M-$1.02B for revenue, according to First Call... LAST QUARTER: Baidu reported Q3 EPS $1.39 against estimates of $1.31, on revenue of $994.6M against estimates of $992.79M. The company also provided Q4 revenue guidance of $973.3M-$1.01B... STREET RESEARCH AND NEWS: Most analyst firms have remained cautious on Baidu. The company was downgraded at Citigroup and Barclays, citing weak mobile monetization, a slowdown in search revenues, and increasing competition from other companies like Qihoo (QIHU). Citigroup added that Baidu will have a challenging 2013, saying that acquisitions will not solve the company's problem with monetizing mobile traffic. Piper Jaffray said that estimates for Baidu need to come down, currently expecting FY13 EPS of $5.41 vs. consensus of $5.91.... PRICE ACTION: Baidu shares have fallen almost 5% since the first day of trading following the company's Q3 report, although the stock bottomed in early December at ~$88 and have since risen to above $108. In Friday midday trading ahead of Q4 report, Baidu shares are trading near flat at $108.40.

Blue Headed Pionus
Blue Headed Pionus (Pionus menstruss) 11 in. (28 cm) Wt. 220 grams
My first impression of the
Blue Heads was Wow!
Blue Heads are a nice parrot to
keep as a pet. With
a small vocabulary like the rest of the Pionus'. They are usually
sweet with a nice personality. The size of them are not much
difference compared to the Maximilian even though the Maxi is slightly
larger. Blue Heads are probably the most wanted in
the Pionus Species due to its beauty of color on the head. This is
my most requested bird that people ask for. This is the bird that is
going to make the Maximilian hard to get eventually because breeders will
stop breeding them being that the Blue Head and the others are taking over
by popularity.

Forums → Support Forum → Whats after king/queen?
I was wondering what is going to happen when someone gets a gold king/queen...
They will have nothing to keep them active on forums and things. I think that there should be a something like legend or champion etc...
What are your ideas?
- 13 Replies
A lot of sites don`t have such acheivment systems and still they have a good community with lots of discussions.Why do you need a reward to communicate?
Well, if points value go down, then it will take a bit more time to become king/queen, especially as we are trying to diminish the SPAM...
After you acheive King or Queen do your points go up farther than 15,000 points or do they stop and you cant goo up anymore?
Well I think points should go up after that. It gives you something to work for. Of course now saying this, it makes it sound like points are the only reason for the site
lol thats gonna take a looooonnnnnngggggg time to get to gold. The points requirements kinda double every level you go up but i was thinking emperor or something....
Well emperor and king are pretty much the same (strength and power wise) just different government.
Yeah thats true but the next level up could be a lifetime goal literally 100,000 dollars you get GOD!!! You should also get prizes if someone got that high which no one would ever probably get.
probaly after king is Legend then at 50k GOD then at 99,999 is AP HaX0R
for that answer u will have to wait until Mcneely comes to this forum. then ask him.
I don't think there is a point to having anything after King/Queen for now, even after the first person hits King, I'm sure there will be many people left to acheive the rank, if they see MORE added, then why are they going to sit there and try to reach for a higher limit that's already insanly high, well, that's what I think, if someone gets King any time soon, there's a problem
Well I think your points still should go up when you have king/queen but LeBronJames123123 and Carlie are going to get king and queen soon.I think it will take them a few weeks but if there was something after king/queen what would they be?
Yeah you would think that it would get boring because you already acheived like the last goal. I am telling you there needs to be a really high goal in order for people to keep aiming for it and after someone gets that it should go up another goal over and over.
or they could always add a ranking system that goes (ill do serf for an example)
Wood Serf
Bronze Serf
Silver Serf
Gold Serf
Platinum Serf
just another idea.
Nah no one even hit King...

you KNOW im in.
my alter-ego, the thong-bomber, might be making an appearance (depending on how much blood is in my alcohol system).
I'm 100% in with 1-2 others. Looking forward to it. let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Who's commin down from nor-cal?
I like the idea of throwing in for some ace pot! $5 donation
This is awesome, Going to try my hardest to convince the wife that if I dont go it will ruin my life.
i'll look into getting a spot tomorrow at work. I'll be coming from Tahoe thru Sac town down the 5 to the course if any nor cal peeps want to car pool.
-Should we get t-shirts printed? Not a bad idea, I know someone who has a T-shirt printing company, we can get them cheap!
-How should the food situation be handled?I always bring enough food for myself and extra to share, if we all do this we can have some awesome meals
-Do people have extra camping supplies they can bring for those that don't?Go to Walmart and buy some camping gear or sleep in your car.
-Who will be camping where? Zenbot and I have site 27 reserved.
-Should there be any kind of donation to cover any possible expenses?I think that's can be handled on the spot.
-Should we get some discs dyed to serve as prizes for possible competitions?I have no clue.
-Carpool/travel situation?Driving alone cause my car isn't big enough to carry more than me and my camping gear.
-Should there be an ace pool?You mean charity?!?!
-Will Apothecary rock the thong?Ohhh, yes he will!!!
I wish i could go but it's just too soon after the memorial with taking time off of work, and during my year of wedding planning. Hopefully within the next couple years I'll join in as living back in socal, and in that time I'll be very actively playing with all the folks from here.

Despite a plethora of opportunities and being ahead most of the game, the Sedona Red Rock High girls basketball team couldn't pull off the upset and lost to Mingus Union High on Nov. 19, 58-45.
"We had our opportunities but just couldn't cash them in," Sedona head coach John Cunningham said.
With the loss, Sedona drops its record to 0-1 [0-0] on the season.
In the first quarter both teams attempted to shoot the basketball but to no avail as the basket itself seemed to move constantly or had a lid on it, thus not allowing the leather ball to grace its nylon net.
At the end of the first quarter Sedona led the high-scoring affair, 6-5.
Sedona finally broke the spell and put up 17 points in the second quarter to take a 23-17 lead into the locker room.
"We were intimidated at first but we pulled it together," senior forward Courtney Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick put a nice game together scoring seven points and pulling seven rebounds while adding two blocks and two steals.
In the second half Mingus woke up from their slumber and blistered the Sedona defense for 46 points which led the Marauders to victory.
Sedona was actually down 40-35 going into the fourth quarter but missed free throws and the continued inability to put it in the basket didn't help the cause.
For the game, Sedona was 12-32 from the free-throw line and shot a ghastly 29.6 percent from the field.
"We had to make more of our free throws to get the win and we just didn't do it," sophomore forward Katie Adams said.
Adams continues her sophomore stud status after scoring 12 points and adding four rebounds, one assist and one steal.
"Katie [Adams] played pretty well, I was pleased with her effort," Cunningham said.
Another reason Cunningham said the Scorpions lost the game was because of foul trouble in the fourth quarter.
Sedona had to go zone to try and combat the big girls Mingus possesses inside. Once the Scorpions did that, it was all over as Mingus is a better team against a zone.
"We got in foul trouble and had to go zone. Once that happened Mingus ate us up inside," Cunningham said.
Another standout included junior point guard Breanne Cunningham who had 13 points to go along with her game-high eight steals. She also added five rebounds and two assists.
Losing by 13 points to a 4A-II school is nothing to look down on Cunningham said, especially since Mingus beat Sedona 77-29 last season.
Mingus was a solid 17-12 [4-6] last year and should compete for a 4A-II Grand Canyon regional crown this year as well.
The girls were in action again on Tuesday, Nov. 27, against Williams High.
Results were not available at press time.
Next up, Sedona travels to the Fountain Hills High Invitational Tournament on Friday, Nov. 30, and Saturday, Dec. 1.

I apologize in advance for the quality of these pictures. They're all from 2008, and I'm pretty sure they were taken on a disposable camera. I got them off my facebook account, and they're tiny as well. In case you're wondering, that's me with the black and white hair, Social D shirt and skate shoes. The other chick is my friend Rikki who I convinced to move to Hawaii shortly after I did. The guy is my friend from high school who was visiting for a week.
Anyway, Nuuanu Judd, aka Jackass Ginger, is a hike I used to go on ALL the time when I was an undergrad. It was close to my school, very accessible, and very short. It was a great place to go to escape the city for an hour (or even less). Why am I using the past tense? Well, I stopped going there after someone chopped down the tree that held a rope swing over the waterfall into the pool.
I can't find any pictures of my own of this swing, but here is a YouTube video of what I'm talking about:
The thing was awesome, but it's no longer there… probably for good reason. Once I saw a chick eat it hard. She didn't lift her legs up while she was swinging, so they hit the rocks on the waterfall below and she jackknifed into the pool. It was kind of hilarious, but I feel bad for thinking so. Here are a few pictures from other great things about the hike:

But in general I've found Apache's config file to have enough comments to jog my memory when I'm editing it while not being overwhelming. They provide enough detail that when I run into a setting I don't understand there's enough context provided that it's easy to search for more information.

If the primary PostgreSQL configuration file becomes XML I will quit working with the project. I'm not kidding. If you think XML is easy to generate, edit by hand, and use revision control on, we are at such an fundamental disagreement that I wouldn't even try and directly argue with you. Instead I'll quote Eric Raymond: "The most serious problem with XML is that it doesn't play well with traditional Unix tools. Software that wants to read an XML format needs an XML parser; this means bulky, complicated programs." http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch05s02.html#id2907018 Let me suggest the following requirement instead which naturally rules it out: it should be possible for a DBA-level coder to write a simple shell script that does something useful with the configuration file in order for having a text-based configuration to be useful in this context. To give a simple example, I can write a single line [sed|awk|perl] command that will let me update the value for one parameter in the current postgresql.conf file. When you can give me a one-liner that does that on an XML file in any shell language in that class, then we might have something to talk about. -- * Greg Smith gsmith(at)gregsmith(dot)com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD

Vintage Album Rack Book Holder
We've featured lots of creative book storage ideas here on Ohdeedoh, but it's always a treat finding a fresh (and fun!) way to make books easily accessible to our kids. What's even better? It's just a local thrift store or antique mall away.
Jennifer Perkins, an avid record collector, had several of these vintage record wire racks that she had accumulated over the years. With more children's books than she knew what to do with, she decided to use these old racks as a storage solution. Like most of us with kids, finding a creative book storage solution is an important part of the design process when decorating their space.
My youngest always wants to be surrounded by books, so there's always book overflow into other rooms besides our main book storage area. Jennifer's vintage album rack idea serves as a lovely design element while being a practical way to keep those books organized and off the floor.
Visit Jennifer's blog to read more about this clever idea.
Jennifer, artist behind the fabulously kitschy Naughty Secretary Club, has been inspiring many for years with her clever craftyness. Be sure to check out her cute kids crafts on her blog and her book full of quirky jewelry designs that you can DIY.

Steele girls dominate Clemens Invitational
Published 5:46 pm, Tuesday, April 2, 2013
The Steele Lady Knights got the most out of their small contingent of athletes in winning the March 28 Clemens Invitational track meet.
Competing with only eight girls, Steele racked up 127 points, outpacing host Clemens for the meet title at Lehnhoff Stadium. The Lady Buffaloes finished with 98 points.
Ashley Santos paced the Lady Knights by winning the 400-meter run (59.81), taking second in the 800 and running the anchor leg of the winning 4x400 relay (4:04.56).
Three more Lady Knights finished first in their events. Savaun Paige ran a 12.28 in the 100, Jesenda Villarreal clocked a 46.68 in the 300 hurdles, and Mahogani Frazier leaped 33-8¼ in the triple jump. In addition, Steele garnered seven second-and-third place finishes in six events.
"With eight kids competing, it was pretty phenomenal they could take it," said Steele coach Darcy Jackson. "We did quite a bit for what we had and we scored a lot of points."
Clemens was led by Genesis Turman, who scored 26 points, making her the top girls' scorer in the meet. Turman won the 200 in 29.28 and was a member of both the Lady Buffaloes' winning 4x100 (49.40) and 4x200 (1:46.72) relays. She also placed third in the long jump.

Desirae Friesenhahn also turned in a first-place performance for the Lady Buffs, winning with a 15.87 in the 100 hurdles.
San Marcos was third with 73 points, and Judson was fourth, with 63 points. Judson's best showing came in the discus, with Olivia Lott (112-6 ½) and Kaylynn Parker (107-8 ½) taking the top two spots.
In the boys field, East Central walked away with the meet title, surpassing Judson, Steele, Clemens and Wagner teams whose top athletes were competing in the March 29-30 Texas Relays in Austin. The Hornets scored 159 points to win their first meet of the year. Judson took second with 77 points; Clemens and Brennan tied for third with 75 points. Steele finished fifth with 66 points.
East Central's Chris Armstrong was the top boys' athlete at the Clemens Invitational, racking up 25 points in winning three events. Armstrong clocked a 13.78 in the 110 hurdles, leaped 21-11½ in the long jump and anchored the Hornets' winning 4x400 relay (3:22.20).
By competing in the Clemens Invitational, Armstrong passed another test in overcoming a groin injury that occurred while playing football in the fall. It was only the second time this season that Armstrong has ran in the hurdles.
"It feels like I'm back on track right now," Armstrong said. "Everything is going great. I'm back doing the hurdles. I feel like I'm on track, most definitely."
In addition, East Central clocked a 43.23 to win the 4x100 relay, beating Clemens by 0.01 seconds.
Pacing Judson was Angelo Gordon, who won the triple jump (44-8½) and finished third in the 200, and Elias Villegas-Ponce, who ran a 9:53.86 to take the 3,200. Host Clemens garnered first-place showings from Kristian Carmona in the 100 (10.72) and their 4x200 relay (1:29.56), which edged out East Central by 1.10 seconds.
Two Steele runners won races, Desmond Edmondson in the 400 (51.45) and Ryan Hayes in the 800 (1:59.90).

This editorial will appear in Monday's print edition.
Something important gets lost in the partisan posturing over redrawing Pierce County Council districts to reflect new census counts.
That something is this: County Council seats exist to ensure the representation of communities, not political parties.
Politicking is a natural part of the process, as it is in any endeavor that portends political winners and losers. But the best redistricting methods acknowledge the interests of the parties and control for their attempts to gerrymander.
That said, none is perfect, and Pierce County's system has its share of imperfections.
Among its faults: The county charter gives sweeping power to a hired hand – the districting master.
That master, Steven Garrett, is coming under fire for his ties to a similar process at the state level. Garrett is a geographic information system analyst who advises the two Democratic appointees to the Washington State Redistricting Commission.
He divulged that information to the county districting committee members – who include two Republicans, one a former chair of the county party – when they interviewed him back in April.
But Republicans apparently didn't think to raise the issue until now, when it appears that one of their own – Councilman Stan Flemming of University Place – will have his council district drawn out from under him.
The Republicans seem to forget that in the last go-around, they did the same thing in a worse way, mounting a back-room coup that redistricted Democrat Calvin Goings out of his seat with little public notice.
That plan stood a court test, and Garrett's might too. Republicans complain that he bolsters left-leaning Tacoma votes by splitting the city into four districts. But Tacomans would be the majority in just two of the four. In some respects, the proposed map looks like a return to what council districts looked like before the 2001 redistricting.
A simple solution to the Flemming problem exists: Renumber the districts so that he remains in District 7. But that has drawbacks for both parties and apparently little support from either.
Keeping incumbents in their districts – to represent the people who elected them – is worth doing if possible, but it is not the overriding goal of redistricting.
More troubling than the lack of incumbency protection is the way Garrett's plan divides the 35,000 residents of Parkland into two council districts, possibly diluting the voice of an unincorporated area that already struggles to be heard.
A previous version of the map kept Parkland together, but at the cost of bigger population variances between council districts.
The county charter makes it clear that boundaries of districts "shall be drawn to produce districts with compact and contiguous territory, composed of geographic units and natural communities, which are approximately equal in population."
"Shall" is a pretty strong word. It doesn't have near the give of "approximately."
If the county districting committee's five members can muster four votes to do anything when they meet for a final time Tuesday, the show of force should be a vote for keeping communities – not political careers – whole.

When men and women initiate intimacy they always follow a very specific pattern. While the list isn't fixed, it does represent the most universally comfortable way men and women come together. There are cases when some of the steps are skipped, but in most cases, they are simply accelerated and go unnoticed. While I have no experience with watching adult movies, I have been told that even therein, men and women follow these steps closely! Here are the ten steps to creating intimacy.
[A] Eye to body. The eyes first make contact with the lower part of the body, but hit the face in general, the assets – buttocks and crotch, chest or breast, the legs of women and the overall build of men. If both see mutual attraction they continue to the next step.
[B] Eye to eye. Mutual eye contact is established which includes a long intimate gaze where the eyes travel over the face including the lips.
[C] Hand touches hand. Light touching of the hand, or hand-holding is often the first way distance is breeched. The hand is intimate, yet risk-free, unlike say the breasts or the genitals! Other acceptable first touches include incidental touches such as an elbow, forearm or task directed actions such as helping to put on a coat.
[D] Hand touches shoulder. This form of touching is risky because it implies
some from of connection. If absent, can still be rebuffed with minimal damage and embarrassment, but still breaches personal space boundaries.
[E] Arm encircles waist. In this step, the arm is lowered closer to the genitals so is more intimate. This form of touching, since it requires permission and attraction, which may or may not be present, is highly risky and can spell disaster if not welcomed. However, if it is accepted, it can be used as a test to move quickly to the following step.
[F] Mouth touches mouth. This step is fairly self explanatory but is a huge milestone in a relationship. Most women remember their first kiss long after men do, but even if men forget the exact details after some time, they will always recall their conquest! When two people kiss they exchange a lot more than just spit. Chemicals in the saliva are linked to taste and if things don't jive at this moment, everything can unravel, and quickly. Women are often heard saying "things weren't right" or that "he was a bad kisser" and it usually has to do with pheromones they find unattractive, rather than his lack of skill. Women will let men they find attractive kiss sloppily, but mediocre men need to perform at a higher level while kissing! It has been postulated by researchers that if the unique chemical signature of men and women is too closely alike, attraction fails to materialize, most probably due to a desire to avoid inbreeding. Family members carry similar genes and therefore give off similar odors signatures and so kissing is one way to test things out before getting too heavy.
[G] Hand touches head. The head is a vulnerable part of the body so we only allow those we really trust to get close enough to play with our hair or ears or whatever. Touching and stroking the hair, plays an intimate and important role in kissing, especially the good kind of kissing.
[H] Hand touches body. Having passed all the tests listed above, couples will permit each other to explore various parts of their body, at the exclusion of the breasts and crotch and usually touching happens over the clothes. Sometimes brief forays may be permitted, but this sort of intimacy still requires caution. Touching includes stroking, fondling, tickling, caressing and are precursors to sexual intimacy. If all goes well, both bodies will become aroused to the point of no return, pushing them into the next step.
[J] Mouth touches body. Included in this step is hand under clothing. Usually either mouth or hands are permitted to touch the body. This step opens up fondling of the breasts under the clothes, and usually even permits the touching of the genitals over the clothes.
[K] Hand caresses genitals and genitals touches genitals. From steps H onward, body language lacks a visual component and so people usually dim the lights, turn them out altogether or close their eyes so they can eliminate distraction and shift their focus onto their sense of touch and smell. Intercourse is a primal activity so requires just the right ingredients in just the right ratios to work. If something isn't quite right, then the sequence can be broken at any one stage, even at the last minute, or so I'm told!

Crossgates Mall is taking some heat for keeping stores open during last week's snowstorm.
Retail employee Alli Dillenbeck's open letter to the mall on the subject was passed from her blog, to Facebook and Twitter users. Commenters on the mall's Facebook page joined the chorus calling for the mall to let stores close and workers go home during such storms.
After recounting how she struggled to get to the mall Thursday in the storm, Dillenbeck notes that she called the management office only to be told all those responsible for deciding whether stores could close left at 5 p.m.
"Obviously, you care exponentially more about money than the people that work there," Dillenbeck wrote on her blog. "We all risked our lives driving to and from work. We could have easily spent our last hours on earth in an empty retail store in a mall. So thank you Crossgates, for wasting my time. You really have compassion for the people who work in your mall. Next time, remember that WE are the building blocks to your mall. If we all got in car wrecks on the way home, would you be compensating us for making us stay late? What if we were all killed? Who would open the stores that pay YOU rent? Just think about us retail workers next time."
Crossgates Mall spokeswoman Jennifer Smith and General Manager Joseph Castaldo did not return calls for comment.
Dillenbeck, who would prefer not to publicly name the store where she works, said her store's management was open to letting her go but asked her to talk to employees of other stores. She was allowed to close the store temporarily and leave a note saying she'd be back while she found other workers to talk to at other retailers.
"They can fine 10 stores that close but they can't fine every store," she said. "Some managers get in trouble if they close."
While Crossgates didn't comment, Colonie Center spokeswoman Susan Spacarelli said that mall did stay open. Boscov's and Barnes & Noble shut their doors early, she said, but she declined to say whether they were fined under their leases for doing so.
"We assess each situation from a safety standpoint," she said. "Each storm is different. I don't have a blanket way to say 'These are the rules.' "

I give you Iberis (Candytuft) 'Snowflake':
This super reliable and evergreen plant starts to show signs of new life in late winter, here in zone 6B:
The buds start to form soon after:
And before you know it, the plant is covered in clusters of flat, sparkling white flowers in mid to late April:
These blooms shine in the evening and would fit perfectly in a moon garden. I have two of them at the foot of my front steps so I can enjoy them each night.
The flowers last a good three weeks for me before they are spent:
And then I'll cut them back by a 1/3 to a 1/2 and the needle-like foliage will look clean throughout the remainder of the year:
Some other bits of info:
- Typical size is about 1′ x 2′
- Prefers full sun but works in partial shade for me
- Most commonly used in rock gardens and as an evergreen groundcover
- Prefers hot and dry conditions and well draining soil (still not sure how it is working for me)
- Survives in zones 3-9
