Another New Look
Here's another option for blog layouts. This one has most of the familiar features, just displayed in a different way. Roll your mouse over the photos to see titles. The number that comes up in the right corner is the number of comments on that post; click on it to see the comments. The slim black bar down the right side of your screen reveals some of the elements that were there in the old layout. Well, sometimes...seems like sometimes these features show up and sometimes they don't. Let me know how it works for you. Have a great week!!

A large government price tag is to blame for the downfall of a House bill aimed at eliminating restrictions on industrial hemp production in Virginia.
After passing both the House Agriculture Committee and sub-Committee unanimously, Del. Nicholas J. Freitas' (R-Culpepper) HB 2028 ended up in Appropriations where the bill was tabled.
The administration claimed that removing restrictions on industrial hemp production would make it more difficult to differentiate industrial hemp from marijuana, according to Freitas.
"They put on a price tag that would essentially guarantee that it died– especially when we are dealing with a budget short fall," Freitas said.
HB 2028 planned to remove the red tape surrounding industrial hemp in Virginia by removing all restrictions on production, including licensing and regulations. Current legislation does allow certain university-funded hemp research projects, but because commercial production of hemp is still illegal, the state must import it.
The Congressional Research Service reported in 2015 that Americans spend more than $580 million on products made from imported hemp every year. It estimates that hemp can be used to create roughly 25,000 different products like fabric, canvas and even automobile parts.
America is also the largest consumer and import market for hemp oil and fiber, according to the Virginia Industrial Hemp Coalition's website. The coalition, founded and managed by Jason Amatucci, is a nonprofit organization that aims to restore the free market for industrial hemp.
"Richmond was built on tobacco and people have forgotten that. They've lost that connection that we need to produce. Rural America needs to be healthy so that urban American can be healthy," Amatucci said.
One of the biggest obstacles in establishing the hemp industry is a lack of support from the federal government.
"They're smoking it in Colorado, Washington, California, Maine and Washington D.C. and the federal government is doing nothing to prevent that, but our farmers can't even grow it for a fiber use," Freitas said.
He believes that a combination of unfounded concerns and federal overreach is preventing the state from entering this emerging industry, which could breathe new life into farming communities in southwest Virginia.
"We have communities that are struggling to stay alive and instead of trying to come up with more government programs, here is something we could do that could literally revitalize an entire area of Virginia and we're not doing it," Freitas said.
In 2016 Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed two pieces of legislation on the production of industrial hemp, HB 699 and SB 691. These bills required the state to establish a licensing program to allow the production of industrial hemp for lawful purposes, however because of federal law it is still considered illegal. In order for Virginians to legally grow industrial hemp outside of research programs, federal law needs to be changed.
Freitas, although disappointed in the Appropriations Committee's decision to table HB2028, is confident of the hemp industry's potential in Virginia and will pursue additional legislation to make it possible.
"We need legislation like this," Freitas said. "Its not only a product with a whole set of diverse uses, its far more environmentally friendly than other crops that we are currently growing."

People have been waiting for the PS4 Firmware update 1.70 for quite a while because of the amazing features that it is going to bring and now the wait is almost over. Today, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced that they will be releasing the next update for the PlayStation 4 on 30th of April.
The biggest feature that will be added through the update is the Remote Play, which will let you stream your PlayStation 4 titles on your PS Vita handheld device.
Moreover, the next update for the console will let you stream the videos in high quality, preload games, get rid of HDCP DRM and features a new video editor named as SHAREFactory, which will let you include manual playback music to your videos.
A new option will be added that will ask you, how much time you want the game recorded, instead of just recording 15 minutes of gameplay, whenever you hit the share button.
Some other minor updates will also be added to the UI of the console to make your experience better. Furthermore, it will add more stability to your friends list and might include the support for MP3 format as well.
Are you looking forward to get the PS4 Firmware Update 1.70 on April 30th?

That's an actual flyer I got in the mail (and I see similar ones all the time). I am not allowed to write what the top half of the flyer said. I will only tell you the Title of that section: FOR MEN ONLY.
I had a young guy pray for me in a charismatic church. The problem is that charismatic people tend to pray for a long time. Normally this is ok, but it was combined with two other troubling habits when mixed together:
He had a SOS-Saliva Overproduction Syndrome.
And he stuttered.
So he would be praying for me and he would say,
"The Lord wants to to to to to to to to to to to to to---"
Now, at about this time with all the spraying, the wind was blowing through the room and you know how that can chill you when you are wet. Plus I wanted to dry off. So I try to think of words to help him.
"The Lord wants to to to to to to to to to to to to to to---"
"Ta ta a ta TAKE you tacitly to town to to to to to to to to to to to to ---"
I've really got to stop this, I think. So I try to help out, again, thinking what would be good to say.
"Ta ta a ta TAKE you tacitly to town to to to to to to to to to to to to---"
"To Touch touch to touch all his People in the CiTy CenTre."
This is NOT working. I wondered why I was so silly to think of words to finish his that began with nasty sounds like the sound from the letter 't.' What I should have done was think of nice neutral sounds. Uh-huh. So the next time I try to think or a nice word that can remind me of my younger days at WaterWorld or SplashTown (water theme parks).
"Jeeeeesus wants to know YOU in the intimate places in yo yo yo yo your life. He wants to to to to to to to to to to to to---"
"Trot. He wants you to trot to his throne room and take intimate time with him each each each each each each each each each each each" The ch's were killing me. "each each each each ----"
"Time Each each Time. Time to talk, Time to be tacit, time to t. . . ."
And on it went. It actually was short, but I gave up trying to think of words. I was amazed at his mind's ability to reject suggestions that didn't use enough saliva and to immediately come up with synonyms or similar words that overused globs of saliva that seemed to have been formed for me, waiting for me before my birth. It was like he was inspired by God to spit on me. I'm sure it didn't happen like that, but my imagination runs away with me.
I'm back in

I received a not-so-good e-mail from the head of an organization I'm about to endorse. So it's somewhat strange. Regardless of his e-mail, I do need your help. I had to think about this before sending it because, in all honesty, this is not a long-term or root solution. But at the same time that we seek to right wrongs and injustices and inequalities in our world by addressing root issues we still have to deal with the present-day symptoms.

I love 1,2,3...I like All his movies, even the "The Emperor Waltz" which is very iffy!
The only Wilder film I never seen is "Love In The Afternoon"...I saw all the others.
Perhaps I have a special affection for "Kiss Me Stupid"...Maybe because Kim Novak is there.

The late 80s saw Manchester synonymous with the rise of acid house that would lead to the wider rave and house music phenomenon that would so define British dance music for over a decade.
Yesterday, football fans over all the world must have wondered if someone had dropped an LSD tab in their beer yesterday when seeing the scoreline from Old Trafford. The Theatre of Dreams served up a very real nightmare for all the season ticket holders that had made the long journey North from Surrey.
Sir Alex Ferguson looked aghast in the post match interviews and his face would have surely been ashen were it not for all the vin rouge he has consumed throughout his long years. Indeed, he described it as the worst day in his entire football career. It had been a true horror show, they were beaten by only one goal less than they had beaten Arsenal at the same ground a few weeks ago.
That all being said, no one should be overly carried away or talking too much of power shifts, it is only three points after all - or is it? Ferguson has received hidings at several points in his career. There was a 4-0 hammering in the Nou Camp back in the early nineties that prompted him to change his approach to European football.
The writer of this blog was fortunate enough to witness Chelsea beat ManYoo 5-0 at Stamford Bridge over a decade ago which was simply a bad day at the office for his side. Most recently at Wembley, they were played off the park by Barcelona, again prompting Ferguson to make huge changes to his team.
None of these three examples however came at Old Trafford and none were against their noisy neighbours who have just turned the volume up by several decibels. What is important now is how both managers galvanise their teams and harness the result.
Ferguson remains the motivator supreme and he will surely be able to use this result - as bad as it is - to his advantage by being able to serve out one almighty kick up the backside. Hindsight is always 20:20 but a defeat to a good side was coming, so open has their play been.
Against Chelsea, ManYoo were 3-0 up at half time yet should have been pegged back to 3-2 in the second half with most pundits agreeing the scoreline could have been anything. Even Ferguson described it as like watching basketball. A mediocre Basle team managed to put three past them also in a game they were coasting in, the signals have been there.
There are huge questions about the United defence, Jonny Evans is receiving the cat calls today for his sending off and general level of mediocrity with Ferguson being chastised for not selecting Phil Jones. More interestingly is why the fit club captain, Nemanda Vidic was not even in the squad for such a huge game, he was available for selection.
There have been huge plaudits this season for the likes of Jones and Smalling but for all the cavalier swashbuckling runs, there needs to be solid defence. A wider problem for ManYoo is a central midfield that is simply not offering enough cover in front of the back four. David De Gea has made an extraordinary amount of saves statistically this season and there is a reason for that, the back four is simply too exposed.
Come the latter stages of the Champions League, the likes of Madrid and Barcelona will rip them apart unless someone is going to provide that cover. Turning Phil Jones into a true defensive midfielder may just be the answer.
For Mancini, he has the task of ensuring that the team grows in confidence from being five points ahead and having handed out a monumental hiding to their neighbours and biggest rivals but at the same time keeping their feat on the ground. He was keen to play down the significance after the final whistle other than in terms of the three points and that is as it should be.
Mancini tweaked his tactics yesterday with the selection of Milner ahead of Nasri. It proved to be an excellent choice as Milner played a good match and Silva looked to have more room without Nasri in proximity to him. Balotelli ahead of Dzeko was a bold selection, but again neither Italian disappointed yesterday with both sharing centre stage in one of the finest days of both their careers.
The other big winners yesterday should have been Chelsea but they imploded at Loftus Road losing 1-0 whilst going down to nine men in the first half.
AVB was scathing of the referee and whilst in some respects he was correct, in others he was entirely wrong. David Luiz is a rough diamond and needs to learn the art of defending. His barge for the penalty was a challenge that simply did not need to be made. Drogba's challenge was two footed and by the letter of the law you must go.
Bosingwa however was involved in a 50/50 situation that would have been given his way every alternate time. By sending off two players early in the match, the referee sets a tone that he must then continue with and Chelsea should unquestionably have had a penalty in the second half.
Whilst Chelsea's spirit must be commended in the second half, a lack of professionalism has cost them dearly yesterday. You cannot afford to slip up when your rivals are playing each other if you wish to win the league and again whilst it is only three points that were lost, it is a signal that this team isn't quite at the same level of the two clubs from Manchester this season - No Nonsense.

Bring Extra.by caroline
Growing up in a big family has taught me a lot of things. I am the oldest of three siblings and one of 17 cousins. I have aunts and uncles galore, and family friends who might as well be aunts and uncles.
I've learned that being a first child can also earn you the title of mini mom. And when your grandma gives you that look, you best cut that crap out [whatever it is you're doing] –– and cut it out quickly. I've also learned that family members who double as best friends is an actual, very real possibility. And sometimes, ever so often, you're better off to keep your mouth shut rather than offer up your opinion. (Psst … Just keep it to yourself.)
Another thing I've learned? When you bring food, bring extra.
Apparently, I forgot that lesson when I made this Whole Grain Peanut Butter & Banana Quick Bread the other day and didn't think to make another one before we hit the road for Pittsburgh. So, when I walked in the house and it was instantly gobbled up, I knew it was necessary to whip up another one. FAST.
Instead of making the same bread, I decided to try something new. Feeling inspired by the kinda-fall weather that has been floating around outside, I decided to make something with apples and cinnamon.
And I came up with this little beauty …
Apple Cinnamon Whole Grain Quick Bread (gluten-free + vegan)
- 245 grams (about 1-1/2 cups) Whole Grain Gluten-Free Flour Mix
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1-1/4 cup diced apples (peeled or unpeeled — your choice!)
- 1/2 Tablespoon safflower oil
- 2 Tablespoons vegan brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vegan granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal mixed with 6 Tablespoons warm water
- 1/2 cup natural, unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup vegan granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons vegan brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon safflower oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan by brushing with safflower or canola oil. (You can use something like this.)
In a medium bowl, mix together the whole grain flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a small saucepan on low-medium heat, warm 1/2 Tablespoon of safflower oil. Add apples, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar and 1 Tablespoon vegan granulated sugar, stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely; drain excess juice and set aside.
Mix together the flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl and allow it to sit for a few minutes.
In a standing mixer (or using a hand mixer), "cream" the applesauce and 1/2 cup vegan granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the flaxseed meal and water combination, then almond milk, mixing until well combined. Slowly add the flour mixture, stirring until ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg and cooled apples, and then pour batter into prepared pan.
Prepare topping by mashing together all ingredients in a small bowl with a fork. Sprinkle on top of batter.
Place bread in oven, baking on lower rack of oven (to keep top of bread from burning) for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (be sure to test the cake and not the center strip where the topping will collect and remain a bit soft). NOTE: If bread begins to brown too quickly, then loosely place a sheet of foil on top for the duration of baking time.
When finished, remove bread from oven and allow to cool in pan for 25 to 30 minutes. Then, flip bread onto a baking rack, allowing it to completely cool before slicing and serving.
OMG. This bread is like fresh apple pie rolled into one nice and neat yummy quick bread. It smelled like heaven throughout the house as this apple cinnamon deliciousness baked in the oven. And don't worry about the strip in the center that looks a bit hollow and dark (see photo above). That's just the topping that makes this bread rock and roll!
Remember: If you're visiting friends and family, and plan to bring this bread — then bring extra.

By Robert Parry In George Orwell's 1984, the leaders of Oceania presented "Two Minutes Hate" in which the image of an enemy was put on display and loyal Oceanianians expressed their rage, all the better to prepare them for the country's endless wars and their own surrender of freedom. And, now, in America, you have The New York Times. Surely the Times is a bit more subtle than the powers-that-be in Orwell's Oceania, but the point is the same.

Jonathan Turley writes in Information Clearing House: Congress Investigates "Slush Fund" At USAID Used To Get Lawmakers To Pass Reforms By Jonathan Turley April 16, 2014 "ICH" – Our government has long seemed to be descending into a type of Orwellian universe of double speak. The Libyan War was not a war but a "time-limited, scope-limited military action" under Obama. Torture of detainees was not torture but "enhanced interrogation" under Bush. Now it appears open bribery of foreign officials is not bribery but "incentives" to implement policies favorable to their own people. Congressional members are moving to address what is being called a "slush fund" with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) where millions are paid to political figures in foreign countries.

|Okay, I've got some time to kill before "Game of Thrones" comes on so let's catch up!
Yesterday, the Gulf Frits were still laying eggs all over the place. This is the same one I took a picture of the other day as you can see she's missing nearly an entire wing. Still spreading those strong survival genes, though!
This Duskywing was all up in my Salvia 'Mystic Spires'. I have to say, that plant doesn't attract as many butterflies as you would think, but I did plant it next to Pentas and Porterweed.
My Zebra Longwing eggs are still hatching!
I saw what I thought was the molted skin from a Gulf Frit, when I realized it was a dead Gulf Frit. And there was some weird egg-type thing in front of it. I took a picture, then stepped on the leaf. There was some black stuff inside the thing, but I couldn't tell what it was. It's dead, though. No one kills my caterpillars!
And the Gulf Frits have put an end to the blooming of my P. 'Lavender Lady'.
I went down by the road to pick some Virginia Peppergrass and to see if I could find any more cats. I found nine! And then I walked over to Dad with them in my hand and said, "This is why we don't mow down by the road!"
Well, we mow when I allow it. But not during peak caterpillar season. Now, most of those Checkered White cats were pretty big, and it was no surprise when they began pupating. I don't have to trudge out and pick masses of food for them.
In other news, my Spicebush Swallowtail cat gut purged so I moved him to the chrysalis tank where he can pupate and have lots of room to emerge. Other than that, it's pretty quiet. Hopefully, some of the Pipevine Swallowtails will start emerging this week.
May 1, 2016 6:16 PM CST
|Ho, Melanie I'm surprised you weren't curious enough to take in that white egg-shaped thing (it looks like a chrysalis to me) and see what hatched out of it!
I'm seeing lots more Gulf Frit cats on my P. Lady Margaret today, too. I guess they were too small for me to see before (the vine is high up on the wall of our shop). While craning and trying to get a shot of them, the Tiger Swallowtail "buzzed" me at high speed twice! I swear he wants to have his picture taken. My mission for tomorrow is to take the tripod and the "real" camera out front where my Pentas are, and see if I can catch him standing still for a microsecond or two.
I did get one lousy shot of the Zebra Longwing on my porterweed. There was a whole flock of them around, but finally one that graced my line of fire with a pose. For a second.

|Definitely not a chrysalis, Elaine. I'm thinking parasite. I posted it on the Insect ID forum hoping it will look familiar to someone.
By the way, I forgot to mention that Checkered White chrysalises are green, whereas Great Southern Whites make chrysalises that range from cream to light tan. Very similar in shape, though.
Spicebush has changed color and is currently looking for the right place to settle in and make a chrysalis. I'll take some pictures of the color change and show you tomorrow.

Melanie, does this look familiar? Found these on the Echinacea angustifolia but first found them on the leaves of Bidens alba. Some kind of egg? Hope my pic is clear enough.

|Deep in the recesses of my mind, I feel like I have seen those things before, but I can't remember what they are. It's not an egg; they're never hard like a seed. It's a little too oddly shaped for frass. Might it actually be a seed from a nearby plant? You may have to go to the "Ask a Question" forum with this one. I feel like I've seen this before and it might drive me crazy (crazier) if I don't get an answer!

|You know what Melanie. Now that I said they are hard like a seed it made me realize that there is Bird nest fungus growing in the area and I bet with all the rain the seeds ended up on the leaves!

|Christine, if we put our two brains together, we would be formidable!
May 2, 2016 2:06 PM CST
|Okay, let me talk about something I do know a little about. Now, many caterpillars change color before they pupate. Sometimes it's subtle, like how Sulphurs become more translucent and a little "glowy", as I call them. Other cats do a complete wardrobe change - without even molting! I've never read a good explanation for why this occurs. I'm thinking chemical changes after the gut purge?
Anyway, for a long time I was irked by my books because they would say how the Spicebush Swallowtail turns "golden" when they are about to pupate. And I would yell, "Are you blind?! They turn orange!" Case in point...
I mean, if that thing was in the woods, a hunter would know not to shoot it because he's clearly wearing his blaze orange!
But then one year, I raised a couple of Spicebush Swallowtails I found at Grandma's in West Virginia. And they were more on the yellow side. Dare I say, "golden"?
And then there's my latest acquisition, who you may remember got mailed to me on a Spicebush plant I ordered from north Florida.
He's not very orange, either. I did read somewhere a while ago, that there are some lepidopterists that believe the Spicebush Swallowtails this far south may actually be a subspecies. That might explain the color difference. I don't think it's based on what they eat because I've fed them a variety of their host plants and they all end up the same color. Something to research, for sure.
May 2, 2016 2:55 PM CST
|Okay, I went out to water the plants and pick a little Virginia Peppergrass for the caterpillars who have not yet pupated.
It's still Gulf Frit Mania out there! This female was trying to relax in the Spanish Needles and this male kept flying all around, and then slid in right beside her. I felt like a nightclub bouncer! "Is he bothering you, ma'am?"
There was a Zebra Longwing out there, too, but I couldn't get a photo. Mostly because she was trying to lay eggs, but realized the vine was already covered in caterpillars. Like I always yell at them, "There's no room at the inn!" Speaking of changing colors, you can see the Zebra Longwing cats are changing from the pale orange to their more typical white.
Part of me wants to bring them inside, but I know if I do that, I'm just gonna get egg bombed again. And I only have so much passion vine! In good news, my Corkystem reseeded itself all over, including down by the main street. Which is another reason my brother isn't allowed to mow it. I'm going to have to find some places to transplant that stuff. Here's some I found growing along with Tassel Flower.
May 2, 2016 2:59 PM CST
|Very interesting stuff! The spicebush caterpillar is one of the cutest, any color.
I'm pretty sure you are spot on right about the seed. Thank you for adding your brain power.
Here's the Bird Nest Fungus.

The default is >50 celsius, should I just keep the default temp or us there a better one?
50 C seems like a good ceiling. For extra safety, I use a 2-tiered temperature profile.
My first profile is for > 45 C - it is for 125/500
Then I have a profile with higher priority set for > 50 C at 125/400
I am being really careful since those are battery temps only in 2.2, and the battery is more vulnerable than the CPU, plus takes longer to get that hot. I have had this profile running for over a week, and have never hit it.
Do NOT set your minimum below 250 to avoid issues.
I have one set at 50.0c that drops to 800/250 and another at 55.6c that drops it to 550/250.
yea people have reported problems trying to awake from 125
and i doubt theres much difference (ie. battery wear) than 250 (other than the obvious 125mhz difference)

The Great Escape, Brighton
Anybody going from here? Any act that would be inexcusable to miss? Personally excited to see Cloud Nothings following their slight reinavation shift in style; Palma Violets, to see what all the fuss is about; Perfume Genius and Grimes for obvious reasons & Ren Harvieu, Lianne La Havas and Rae Morris, beacuse they strike me - from videos, at least - to be less of an effort to enjoy from a live perspective. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see plenty of challenging new music over the three days, but you need a handful of guaranteed 'performers'.
Others of note i'm hoping to catch: PORCELAIN RAFT, YOUNG DREAMS, NEW LOOK, FOE, HEY SHOLAY,EMA, FRANÇOIS AND THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS.
Cheveu, they sound like they'll be amazing live
also Princess Chelsea
both on during the day & 2 of the acts I'm most looking forward to
I would recommend Hawk Eyes but all the way out in Concorde 2!! URGH
Must see Prefume Genius because he's playing a church :) Also a tip for everyone, it'll probably be best to avoid Django Django at Blind Tiger unless you plan to get their incredibly early because it's a tiny venue & chances are you'll get crushed to death IF you can even make it in.
Not going this year
Been a bit fed up with the organisation of it for the last couple of years. Have tickets to the Erased Tapes night on the Friday in St Mary's church which I am looking forward to immensely.
I find these multi venue things a bit stressful over an entire city.
I know Brighton's hardly huge, but last year just seemed like a lot of effort to get around. Nevertheless it's a fun atmosphere and worth a weekend from London.
I'm around at the Pav Tav on the Friday for the BSM/Alcopop free show and the Feliciano/Flatpack ones the next day. Both lineups are a treat.

On February 27, 2013, the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security heard testimony regarding improvements made to E-Verify. While committee members acknowledged that E-Verify still suffers from some shortcomings, the message coming out of the hearing was clear that businesses in the U.S. had adapted to using E-Verify and are happy with its results. A representative from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) testified that E-Verify use has expanded to 432,000 employers, compared to only 24,000 in 2007. She also testified that surveys taken of its employer users indicate that the majority are confident in E-Verify's accuracy and would recommend it to other employers.
A representative from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce told the subcommittee that while in the past the chamber resisted efforts to expand E-Verify, recent improvements in the system and feedback from chamber members have caused it to reassess its position. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce now supports a mandatory E-Verify law for all employers to be phased in over the next three years, provided that certain conditions are met. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce hopes to see a federal E-Verify law that preempts state and local verification laws, eliminating the possibility of a patchwork of laws nationwide, and opposes any law that would require employers to verify the employment authorization of existing employees. The representative from the chamber also testified that employers should continue to enjoy a safe harbor when they rely on the information generated by E-Verify.
The fact that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce now supports a mandatory E-Verify law will certainly make the prospect of such a law quite possible, either as part of President Obama's effort to institute comprehensive immigration reform or as an independent initiative over the coming years. It is still unclear whether a mandatory E-Verify law would require U.S. employers to run only new hires through the system or both new hires and existing employees.

Overview of Addiction in Hawaii
In 2013, an estimated 7,000 children ages 12–17 and 79,000 adults age 18 and older were dependent on or abusing illicit drugs or alcohol in Hawaii. Marijuana is the most commonly cited drug among primary substance abuse treatment admissions in the 50th state, followed closely by stimulants, including methamphetamine.
Hawaii had the 34th highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States in 2013 with 10.9 deaths per 100,000 people suffering drug overdose fatalities. Poisoning is the leading cause of injury‐related deaths in Hawaii, and drugs cause 9 out of 10 poisoning deaths. The average annual number of drug poisoning deaths, also called overdoses, nearly doubled from the 1999‐2003 period (78 deaths) to the 2009‐2013 period (151 deaths). In 2013, the poisoning death rate was 10.7 deaths per 100,000 residents, and the drug overdose death rate was 10.1 compared to a motor vehicle traffic‐related death rate of 7.2 deaths per 100,000 residents. From 2008 to 2013, 146 drivers involved in fatal traffic crashes tested positive for drugs.
Key Substance Abuse Issues in Hawaii
- Hawaiians are famous for growing some of the most well-known marijuana in the world, and it's a plant that is fairly heavily ingrained in the island culture. However, recreational pakalolo (the Hawaiian word for marijuana) remains illegal in Hawaii.
- By November 2016, Hawaii will license eight dispensaries, which can begin selling medical marijuana to registered patients. After December 31, 2018, no primary caregiver will be authorized to cultivate cannabis for any qualifying patient.
- During the most recent eight years, methamphetamine was the second most frequently used primary substance, climbing from 18.5 to 27.9 percent.
- Despite a 26.1% drop in meth use in the Hawaiian Islands since 2006, the state still leads the nation when it comes to meth in the workplace. Workplace meth use in Hawaii is 410% higher than the national average.
- About 90% of property crime in Hawaii is accepted to be drug-related. Likewise, numerous murders and other violent crimes, including prisoner crimes, have been connected to crystal methamphetamine. In Hawaii, a large percentage of youth drug cases are based on meth abuse.
- Ritalin and Adderall are especially common with students who refer to Ritalin as legal cocaine. Some people start taking Ritalin and Adderall for the symptoms of ADD or ADHD, but then they get addicted to the medications and can't stop taking them.
- Opioid pain relievers, such as oxycodone or hydrocodone, contributed to more than one‐third of the state's 756 drug overdose deaths from 2009 through 2013. Like Adderall and Ritalin, prescription painkiller addiction often starts with a prescription from a doctor after an accident, illness or surgery.
- People over age 65 are also at risk for prescription drug abuse—and perhaps even more so. Americans age 65 and older make up 13% of the population but consume about one-third of all prescription drugs. This group also takes more potentially addictive medication than any other age group.
- In the first five months of 2015, there have been 372 DUI arrests on the island of Hawaii compared with 485 during the same period last year, a decrease of 23.3 percent.

Race Chief Shane Denherder is back with his analysis of Day 8 of the Icarus Trophy. The Race Division has been won - but there is plenty to report from the Adventure Division's antics. Here's his report:
After a stunning finish in Mesquite, NV at 9:22 local time - David Wainwright promptly hijacked the HQ van and drove it straight back to Monument Valley, UT to meet up with his mates. He was scary, and he smelled of onions - we didn't protest.
He enjoyed a Monument Valley "fun flight" (without auxiliary fuel, clothes, equipment) at the crack of dawn on day 8 - then socialized with some of the pilots who have been following his epic Journey. David was met with lots of support and high fives from the American PPG community at Monument Valley. Well deserved, as this course was exceptionally hard to tackle and Dave ran it like the champion he is. Well done sir!
Team Biro of the Adventure Division spent the better part of Saturday doing the same - enjoying the scenery and enjoying some "easy" flying in the nation's most coveted paramotor flying site. For Day 8, it was back to business. They suited up, grabbed their gear, and departed at 7:10am as the rest of the fly-in was just waking up. The morning desert air was a mix of non-threatening VIRGA and high cirrus clouds. As they continued their spirit quest flying westward, the skies opened up as they approached Rainbow Plateau. This proved to be the best scenery the pair had encountered thus far, and not for a lack of trying.
"The air was smooth the entire way and as we reached the Rainbow Plateau I was blown away by the beauty below! This by far was the prettiest leg of the entire trip! The earth below looked alien with reds, pinks and tans all mixed together like twisted taffy." —Byron Leisek
After passing Rainbow Plateau, Team Biro was heading straight for Page, AZ - the gateway to the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, and some fantastic barbecue. Yes, this detail is a big deal - thanks to Big John's Texas BBQ.
After filling up at Big John's, the pair continued their adventure into the unknown. A few miles west of Glen Canyon Dam and Navajo Bridges, the afternoon heat began to ramp up and demanding conditions awaited.
Byron and Miroslav reported this was their most challenging flight yet. The leg from Page, Arizona to Kanab, Utah was (as expected) thermic desert heat - but there were no breaks between thermals.
Byron was on a mission to land near an animal shelter that he had visited in years past, but with the conditions ramping up to 17mph headwinds and severe turbulence - they had to play it safe and head to the airport. Both were exhausted, and decided to rest for the rest of the day while waiting out weather. They stayed in the pilot's lounge of the airport, as they made plans for their final 85 miles of the journey past St. George into Mesquite, NV.
Further north, Scotty Duncan has been adsorbed into the roving party dubbed Camp Icarus with Trey German, Dean Kelly and James Borges. Fresh off their trip to the Bonneville Salt Flats, the group decided to road move to Price, UT. They've decided to head to Monument Valley and follow the Race rather than the Adventure course.
Reaching Price, they departed from Buck Davis Field ('merica) and continued on to Green River, Arches National Park, stopping off in Canyonlands airfield near Moab, UT. Scotty unfortunately tweaked a old knee injury with the landing, and he hitched a lift rather than attempt to fly again. He's heading to straight to Monument Valley to meet up with his friend and instructor David Wainwright.
Scotty has had some unfortunate luck in this race, but we continue to be inspired by his ability to keep on chugging along and his great attitude. Don't worry Scotty, the best is still to come! We hear the plan is to get in some great local flights in Monument Valley, then continue on the adventure with the rest of the pilots.
We'll continue to follow the teams all the way into the finish line in Mesquite, Nevada and give them the finish line celebration they deserve for this massive effort.

Yes, you read the title right. If you've ever had your heart broken (or at least think you have) then you're already equipped with a second to best experience of precisely the excruciating, agonising and not so slightly embarrassing process of failing your driving test. However, for the benefit of the doubt of those of you who perhaps have been fortunate thus far to experience a smooth, crease free relationship, let me give you a little insight into the emotional roller-coaster you can expect to embark on in these two given situations. (And yes, I did fail.)
"I'm breaking up with you." "Things just aren't working out." "I'm just not ready for a girlfriend" We've heard it all before, be it in reality or on some really bad American teen sitcom, but hearing my driving examiner repeat the not oh-so unfamiliar words, reminded me what it was like to accidentally open up that old wound and smother it with a handful of salt. It was something in the way he started with "I'm afraid you just haven't quite made it this time", that I cannot help but recall a very badly rehearsed breakup line. It was like I was going through all the cringeworthy motions of a break up, where the heart 'breaker' tells the breakee the pre-prescribed lines, avoiding the actual heart of the matter (no pun intended).
It comes as no surprise that the sufferer generally has an overwhelming urge to cry. Even if you've seen it coming and you've told yourself that you're not going to cry, you can feel your eye ducts mounding with the overwhelming pressure of tears and you know that it can only go two ways from here; either you repress it or let loose the water works. I, fortunately managed to save whatever shreds of dignity I had left, and after a couple seconds of unconscious contemplation in regards to whether to let lose the tears or not, I progressed to the second post-breakup stage: mourning over the lost future aspirations. You've been dreaming of this moment for a long time. It's what you've been working for all this time- the reason for going on all those dates and trying out different driving schools, to find that special one. You might have even progressed as far as to conjure up bigger aspirations in your long term marriage to a Ferrari 458, whilst in the meanwhile desiring something more mellow and humble, perhaps a honeymoon on some white-sandy, deep blue Fiat 500c, and who knows, you might even have wanted to start a little mini cooper family with a traditional white picket fence. As these feeling of forfeiture and loss commingle in your mind, reality begins to settle in and you become angrier and bitter. You become defensive and pretend that 'it was no big deal', that you didn't really want this relationship to go far anyway; that it was all just a little bit of 'fun', which only cost you a merge £62. Possibly you wish to return to your beloved straight away, but deep down you know some time apart for reflection and learning will serve you better in the long run.
Now's the time that you seek advise and comfort from your friends, parents, siblings- just anyone who can sympathise with your situation and reassure you that you're not the only one to have gone through this pain. Most people do not like to admit that they've been dumped or cheated on, unless they know that you yourself are in the same situation. It's almost as if to say, yes, now I can admit it because we're equals (the subtly being here, that yes, you're not any better than I am) There seems to be something prideful in failing your driving test which almost makes you feel like you've been cheated on. Why is that, I wonder? The simple answer when I asked a friend, why didn't you tell me that you didn't pass first time round?: because you never asked. It's like missing out that crucial bit of information that you haven't been 100% faithful, when telling your best friend that your boyfriend has cheated on you. It probably says something about me that I had to wait until I was sure that I'd passed my test the second time round before I uploaded this blogpost. It seems in such a touchy subject of rejection, that we don't like to admit to ourselves, more than the fact that we don't like to admit to others our 'inadequateness', or perhaps I ought to say what we perceive as our deficiency. It's important to remember however that from every salt and pepper experience we learn something new about ourselves.
A friend once suggested to me that we never really get over rejection, and perhaps she's right, but most of the time rejection just means that other possibilities are opened up that we might have never considered otherwise. I believe timing has a lot to do with experiences, and sometimes we're only ready the second time round. Or so I tell myself.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) says it has settled a civil action suit against Antonio Daniele III and his mother for selling pirated films over an e-mail address on the Internet. The MPAA said Daniele agreed to a $110,000 settlement and that he is prohibited from selling or distributing unauthorized videotapes.
The suit, which was filed in December, was initiated after MPAA investigators found that Daniele advertised films on Internet newsgroups, according to the MPAA. The films, some of which were still in theatrical release, included "American Psycho," "Shanghai Noon," "Romeo Must Die" and "Beowulf."

Even the world's oldest economic tomes dictate that when demand of a product drops, price follows.
Unless the product is real estate, where just about anything can and will happen with demand-price relationship, as the Pulse of the High Desert report has shown for the last couple of months.
Though prices dropped 24 percent over July and August, the average selling price still inched up over one percent. Larry Trombley of Century 21 Rose Realty in Hesperia, who compiles the survey from multiple listing services, called the increase relatively flat but still interesting.
"I thought prices might go down but we haven't seen that yet," said Trombley, who released August's figures Monday.
Whether prices do fall may be more of a function of the economy in general, and no one seems to know what will happen there. Stocks continued their upward trend in September, historically a losing month for the market. As the economy putts along, economists seem to change their outlook daily.
"They keep changing their minds," Trombley said. "Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. I wish I could predict what would happen."
In August, prices rose in two of the six market segments of the Victor Valley, while Victorville was essentially unchanged. Selling prices in Apple Valley increased almost $6 a square foot, while moving up almost $1 a square foot in Hesperia. Prices increased 1.2 percent for the Victor Valley as a whole.

Food Review: Angry Chicken
Oranienstraße 16
10999 Berlin
Me and my Food-Buddy we love chicken wings but for some reason Angry Chicken was never high on our to-do list. Anyway, we spontaneously went there for a little snack after work and it was sooo good!
We ordered the Furious super spicy chicken wings (M 6x 6€), a small miso soup (2,50€) and those weird sweet potato chips (3€). I didn't read the menu properly and thought they were normal sweet potato fries but instead I got these weird thin and wobbly sweet potato flakes which were not even crispy. Luckily the staff was so nice and gave me a new portion of normal fries when I told him about the misunderstanding. Thumbs up for their nice and understanding staff members!
The chicken wings... OMG SOOO GOOD. Nice and spicy, tender and the marinade tastes amazing. I even dipped my fries into that sauce because I didn't want to waste any of it lol.
I also ordered a small Miso soup which ended up being the biggest bowl of Miso soup I've ever had in my life haha. I wonder how big the large one is if the small one is already big to me?? Also the portion of fries which I forgot to take a picture from was massive.
Totally recommend this place! Good portions and great flavor! (Just don't order these weird chips). I'll definitely come back and try more things from their menu!

Keith Richards, cockroaches, and the Dallas Stars tenure of Jamie Oleksiak are three things I was convinced would survive the apocalypse. Two of the three are still going strong after the Stars shipped Oleksiak to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a 2019 conditional fourth round draft pick.
It would be easy to sit here and drag Oleksiak in the wake of his departure. His play has provided multiple opportunities should anyone want to do it. I've been guilty of doing it on numerous occasions, which isn't fair to the person. It isn't his fault that the organization continued to put him in the lineup and give him a roster spot. Whatever reason you want to identify doesn't really matter at this point, but he clearly hit a wall developmentally.
It only took the Stars two and a half seasons to recognize it.
Players like Oleksiak will come and go. His story isn't really a story about him. His story is a story of how the Dallas Stars bent over backwards for several years to keep a pair of defensemen around for whom they would ultimately only get a total of one draft pick in return. Oleksiak and Patrik Nemeth stayed on the roster or in limbo for several years because the usually decisive Jim Nill couldn't make a decision. In the end the players made the decision for him by both being expendable.
Prospect development has been the single biggest problem for the Stars under Nill. Depth guys have risen. Radek Faksa has developed beyond what anyone could have imagined several years ago. Julius Honka is finally getting the ice time he deserves to prove he's legit. Outside of those two the best player developed under Nill's administration has been Stephen Johns by far. A solid player no doubt, but this league is run by stars. John Klingberg is the last core player the Stars developed in house. Jamie Benn is the last before that.
Benn has been a Dallas Star for almost a decade.
At some point the Stars have to get better at identifying and developing eventual key players. The salary cap will get really tight if and when Tyler Seguin signs an extension. It may actually be too late for that, given how long prospects take to develop. After the Stars rightfully selected defenseman Miro Heiskanen with the third pick in the draft last year the easiest path for acquiring young impact talent up front is going to be through a trade with all the depth they have on the back end.
None of this is to say the Penguins can't work Oleksiak into a good NHL player. They certainly could and have a history of picking players up on the cheap before turning them into good players. I hope it works out for Oleksiak. I would be shocked beyond belief, but nonetheless I hope it works out for him. He never had the upside his supporters wanted to see. I do see a potential bottom pairing guy or a 7th defender that you can trust with some penalty killing time with some patience.
The Stars have enough depth now that they have no reason to continue being patient. This move was a long time coming and is the best thing for both the team and player. Honka has earned his roster spot and this trade immediately makes the Stars better without acquiring a single NHL asset.
Best of luck, Oleksiak.

After a demo and a split with Dakhma, this is the very first album by Swiss Ungfell. At first listen I was somehow deterred by the thin and low-fi recording. But don't judge this record by its sound! Musically "Tôtbringære" offers some fine black metal with medieval / folk influences and a very own touch. Frankly, it makes me somehow nostalgic and reminds me of some releases by deceased Last Episode Records. But I won't go into comparisons. Ungfell speak for themselves.
Where the production spares many details and power, the music on "Tôtbringære" fixes all deficits. Those guitars are simply outstanding. Each song offers very catching melodies, often even polyphon played. And next to the typical, old school black metal, there are many surprising twists. Like "Gottes Acker" or "Wechselbalg" that suddenly interweave some obscure and spooky boogy woogy. Or "Trommler Tod" that incorporates even a psychobilly-eske solo.
And as mentioned before, there are many influences from folk and medieval music on "Tôtbringære" as well. Starting with the prototype medieval introduction "Viures Brunst", most songs have some special ingredients that are used goal-oriented. Ungfell does not use those elements to end in itself. Starting with the haunting pipes in "Die Bleiche Göttin" to the more subtile accordions in "Gottes Acker" or "Der Opfersprung" to the sudden turn into a fully medieval part at the ending of "Trommler Tod". This is one of the seldom moments where even some clean vocals find their way into the music. There is another short passage in "Gottes Acker" as well. But same as for the medieval / folk elements: Ungfell uses all those special elements wisely as a skillful ingredient to a song.
This combination of grimm and raw black metal with a lot of playful elements makes "Tôtbringære" an outstanding debut. Every song has awesome melodies and exciting turns. Nevermind if a track starts more rocking like "Trommler Tod", stomping in mid-tempo as "Gottes Acker" or furious blazing. There are many surprising turns into a totally other direction, still maintaining the coherent flow of each number.
In the end, I cannot say which of these six songs (introduction and interlude "Slahtære" exkluded) is my favourite. Maybe the obscure and baneful "Wechselbalg". But on each play of this record I have another track that catches me and has its outstanding moments.

"Jesus began His risen life by giving His apostles power to forgive sins.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation continues His work of forgiving and reconciling. It celebrates the prodigal's return to the eternally merciful Father, renewing the sinners' union with God – and also with the community inasmuch as our sins harm our brothers and sister." NCD 124:71
First Reconciliation Preparation
Ordinarily, children prepare and receive this sacrament prior to receiving their first Eucharist. Children must have been enrolled in the Religious Education program or a Catholic school for one year prior to the year they are receiving the sacrament. All children are expected to participate in days of reflection, retreats and rehearsals. There will be one parent/child meeting sometime during the school year. The Sacrament of First Reconciliation is generally scheduled in January.
