Bernie Hunhoff is one of those rare Democrats with whom I often find myself in agreement. I've interviewed Bernie a number of times over the years, dating back to his bid for governor in 1998. The Yankton native is currently the Democratic leader in the state House of Representatives.
Bernie is a decent, very affable guy with a generally common sense point of view. There are a lot of issues on which we disagree, but I have always found our conversations to be thought-provoking.
Bernie joined me on the air this week to update us on the current legislative session. During a question on local control, he made a statement that struck me as incredibly profound.
"I don't think local control is necessarily a Republican or Democrat ideal. I think its an American ideal that we make decisions as close to home as possible. That goes back to our country's roots," Hunhoff said.
Bernie went to say that many townships in northeast South Dakota are having a difficult time due to all of the flooding. He said many bridges and roads are falling into disrepair because townships, under state law, have little flexibility to raise taxes to repair them.
"Isn't that a local control decision? Shouldn't a township government, which is about as American as you get, its like a townhall meeting... so what could be more local control?"
Counties throughout the state are having the same problem. Minnheha County is dealing with a 28 percent increase in felony arrests and no means to raise taxes except through an "opt out" of the property tax freeze.
Instead of dealing with these complex local government funding issues, what have lawmakers been spending their time on?
Red light cameras. School start dates. Texting while driving bans.
Rep. Peggy Gibson of Huron introduced a bill this year to ban red light cameras. Gibson says she was "infuriated" by Sioux Falls' decision to install a red light camera nine years ago. And if you missed it, let me mention again...she's from Huron. And it was nine years ago.
Gibson's bill has been defeated in previous sessions. The red light camera in Sioux Falls, the state's lone red light camera, hasn't been in operation for almost four years.
A circuit court judge found the camera violated state law. It was taken down shortly afterward in July 2010.
Yet, Gibson's bill passed the state legislature last week on a nearly unanimous vote. Only one representative, Rep. Tona Rozum (R-Mitchell), opposed the ban.
Let me recap for the discernment-challenged.
Sioux Falls puts up red light camera. Judge says red light camera violates state law. Sioux Falls takes down red light camera. Four years later, the House of Representatives votes to ban red light cameras which judge says are already illegal under state law.
Talk about a solution in search of a problem. Talk about closing the barn door after the horse has come home. Talk about (insert your own tired, worn out cliche here).
This is exactly the sort of thing that chaps me every year about our state legislature.
State lawmakers shouldn't be getting into these issues of local control. They ought to be clearing the path for local government to meet its responsiblities.
If Rep. Peggy Gibson doesn't like the laws being passed in Sioux Falls, she ought to relocate here and run for city council. It infuriates me that she would take her own personal pet peeve out to Pierre and legislate on it.
The same thing goes for school start times. That's a decision that should be made by school boards and local communities.
However, school start times have been debated to death in the legislature. The issue was even referred to a public vote.
And yet, year after stinking year, lawmakers bend to state tourism interests and take up the issue again. Something is seriously wrong if we're putting tourism and the state fair over the education of our children.
At times, lawmakers don't even know the facts.
During the debate on school start times last week, Rep. Brian Gosch (R-Rapid City) said, "We have to look at the needs of all the state. We're still a rural state. That shouldn't be ignored because a smaller group of people in South Dakota decide that's not important to them."
A minority, he says?
Over 125 of the state's 151 school districts started school before the last Monday in August. In the world where I live, that's a super-majority.
While we're speaking of Rep. Gosch, he appears to be one of the primary usurpers of local control this session.
Gosch is behind the proposal that would prohibit local communities from passing texting while driving bans. He also wants to replace the seven existing municipal bans with a statewide ban on texting.
I'm not advocating for texting bans, as I don't believe they work. However, state lawmakers have had years to pass a ban and failed year after year. When they failed to act, municipalities passed their own bans.
Now that cities are taking action, state lawmakers want to get back in on the act.
Talk about being a day late and a dollar short. Talk about (insert your own tired, worn out cliche here).
State lawmakers are simply out of touch and way behind the curve on these local issues. They were more than content to do nothing until local governments took it upon themselves.
Instead of intruding on these local issues, legislators ought be concerning themselves with finding a more equitable way to fund county and township governments.
Something is seriously wrong when the City of Sioux Falls is awash in sales tax revenue and Minnehaha County is constantly having to opt out of the property tax freeze.
I don't wish to sound too critical of lawmakers because most are responsible, dedicated public servants. They put in a lot of hours to serve the public good for little pay.
But there must be something about the culture in the capitol that causes them to get power hungry.
State lawmakers have enough challenges this session without involving themselves in issues best left to local government.
Bernie was right. Local control is an American ideal. Let's all start living the ideal.

Know Your H2O
Know Your H2O (KYH2O) is a Surfrider Foundation program designed to educate people on the link between freshwater management issues and the impact on our oceans, waves, and beaches. We advocate for practical and environmentally sound solutions.
Do you know where your water comes from? In many places, water travels hundreds of miles through canals and pipelines before reaching your home. Due to persistent drought, growing population and legislation, less water will be delivered from these sources in the future.
Many rivers near the coast have been paved over, and nearly all storm drain pipes empty into our oceans. This dumps animal waste, pesticides, fertilizers, oil and pollution from our cars and roads, plastics and anything else in our watershed into the ocean.
Through conservation, using climate-appropriate plants, implementing Low Impact Development, capturing and reusing "waste" water, and Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR), we can reduce water pollution in the ocean AND improve our drinking water supply.
• It's all about pollution prevention. KYH2O is a proactive campaign designed to prevent pollution from reaching the surf.
• Raise awareness about the connection between the different aspects of water management, and how the effective and integrated management of those aspects can protect our oceans, waves and beaches.
• Provide Surfrider supporters tangible ways to advocate for Integrated Water Management.
1. Identify and define the problem
2. Share a common vision
3. Advocate for actionable solutions

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is one of California's most important laws—not only because it helps protect our environment and "quality of life", but CEQA also promotes democratic participation in the decision-making process—giving citizens a say in what happens in their local communities. Unfortunately over the past few years, developers and polluting industries have been attempting to weaken CEQA through legislation. If special interests succeed in weakening CEQA, California's natural resources could suffer from unchecked development, and the public will lose its ability to require developers to address environmental impacts.

EPA articulates the multiple benefits of green infrastructure
Know Your H20 Low Impact Development
Green infrastructure is a cost-effective and resilient approach to our water infrastructure needs that provides many community benefits. As of 2008, the total reported water infrastructure needs for the United States included $63.6 billion for combined sewer overflow control and $42.3 billion for stormwater management. Since only 22% of regulated MS4s are included in this estimate, the need for stormwater management is likely much greater. As communities develop and climate patterns shift, these needs can only be expected to grow. While single-purpose gray stormwater infrastructure is largely designed to move urban stormwater away from the built environment, green infrastructure reduces and treats stormwater at its source while delivering many other environmental, social, and economic benefits. These benefits not only promote urban livability, but also add to the bottom line. Source EPA: http://water.epa.gov/infrastructure/greeninfrastructure/gi_why.cfm#WaterQuality

Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates DryShips as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, generally high debt management risk and disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Marine industry. The net income has decreased by 14.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from -$15.97 million to -$18.21 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.14 is relatively high when compared with the industry average, suggesting a need for better debt level management.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Marine industry and the overall market, DRYSHIPS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- DRYS, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 17.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 0.0%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to not be hurting the bottom line, shown by stable earnings per share.
- DRYSHIPS INC reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past year. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, DRYSHIPS INC reported poor results of -$0.64 versus -$0.22 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.28 versus -$0.64).

David Belcher, Ph.D
Professor of Human Biology, Zoology and Herpetology
Areas of Expertise:
- Biological diversity
- Species and speciation
- Anatomy and physiology
- Bachelor of Arts in Zoology with a Minor in Chemistry and Psychology, Indiana University
- Master of Science in Biology, University of Louisiana-Monroe
- Ph. D. in Behavioral Ecology/Biology, St. Louis University
Last year, Belcher found a new blackbanded sunfish population -- the first new population in Georgia since 1980 -- and confirmed another not documented since 2001. Belcher, along with graduate student Josh Salter, led a team working with the Georgia Department of Natural Resourcesto help the DNR Wildlife Resources Division conserve the fish, which is state-listed in Georgia as endangered and considered a health indicator of the natural ecosystems it inhabits.
The study included the survey of 72 sites. In south Georgia, the fish was documented at 11 sites spread across the region, from the Okefenokee Swamp to the Alapaha River system near Tifton and the Aucilla River drainage south of Thomasville. The distance between populations makes each more vulnerable. If one is wiped out, the opportunities for other blackbanded sunfish to migrate to that site and replenish it are limited.
Georgia is a leading state both in aquatic biodiversity and aquatic fauna at risk. About 30 percent of the state's freshwater fishes and crayfishes are extinct, endangered, threatened or considered species of special concern. The blackbanded sunfish survey is part of a Nongame Conservation Section initiative started in 1998 to determine the status of Georgia's aquatic fauna and develop conservation plans for declining species.
Less than 4 inches long and marked by black bars on the sides, blackbanded sunfish are found below the fall line from New Jersey to northern Florida. Yet the fish is threatened across its range because of habitat loss to natural and man-made causes such as drought, development and excessive water withdrawals. Read more >

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland said on Tuesday it was not to blame for Apple Inc's
In a 40-page memorandum released ahead of an appearance by Apple CEO Tim Cook before Congress on Tuesday, a Senate subcommittee identified three subsidiaries that have no "tax residency" either in Ireland, where they are incorporated, or in the United States, where those companies are managed.
The main subsidiary, a holding company that includes Apple's retail stores throughout Europe, has not paid any corporate income tax in the last five years, the report said.
"They are not issues that arise from the Irish taxation system," deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore told national broadcaster RTE on Tuesday when asked about the report.
"They are issues that arise from the taxation systems in other jurisdictions and that is an issue that has to be addressed first of all in those jurisdictions."
Ireland, he said, was pursuing the issue "very strongly" at the European Union and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which is spearheading anti-tax evasion initiatives, Gilmore said.
The issue will be discussed at a meeting of European Union officials on Tuesday, he said.
The subsidiary identified by the Senate, which has a mailing address in the Irish city of Cork, received $29.9 billion in dividends from lower-tiered offshore Apple affiliates from 2009 to 2012, comprising 30 percent of Apple's total worldwide net profits, its report said.
The report said it exploited a difference between Irish and U.S. tax residency rules.
Apple said in a comment posted online on Monday it does not use "tax gimmicks." It said the existence of its subsidiary "Apple Operations International" in Ireland does not reduce Apple's U.S. tax liability and the company will pay more than $7 billion in U.S. taxes in fiscal 2013.
A number of U.S. multinationals, including Google and Facebook, have their European headquarters in Ireland to take advantage of its low corporate tax rate.
The government regularly touts its success in attracting international investment as one of its main achievements.

Dozens of residents in Flagstaff plan to protest legislation that would allow Arizona business owners to deny service to gay people on religious grounds.
The rally against Senate Bill 1062 is scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday outside Flagstaff City Hall and city officials expected to attend include City Councilwoman Celia Barotz.
Students from Northern Arizona University plan to march at 3 p.m. from the campus to join the demonstration.
Gov. Jan Brewer is likely to decide next week whether to sign the bill. Supporters say it protects religious freedom. Opponents say it could harm the state's economy and image.
Protesters also plan to voice their opposition against House Bill 2192, which would ban immigrants in the country illegally from using any public resources such as public restrooms and roads.
"One of the reasons why this bill came to light was you had a photographer in a different state who was being sued because they would not officiate or take pictures at a gay wedding," explained Rep. Jon Kavanagh, R-23.
CBS 5 News' efforts Saturday to interview those supporting the bill mostly went unanswered, but Kavanagh appeared on national television explaining SB-1062.
"It would only apply where a person had sincerely held religious beliefs, and the burden is substantial," Kavanagh explained.
Others are weighing in. Arizona State Treasurer Doug Ducey, who is running for governor, says the bill should be vetoed. The Republican said Saturday that he would try to create some kind of consensus legislation to protect religious liberty.
Several Republican gubernatorial candidates have already made their voices heard on Senate Bill 1062.
Secretary of State Bennett and Mesa Mayor Scott Smith said Friday they don't support it. Bennett called it unnecessary and divisive, and Smith said it has the potential to negatively affect basic rights, including freedom of religion.
Attorney Christine Jones says 1062 should be withdrawn to avoid damaging the state's reputation and economic growth. Candidates Andrew Thomas and Frank Riggs didn't send statements.
Center for Arizona Policy President Cathi Herrod said in a statement:
"The attacks on SB 1062 show politics at its absolute worse. They represent precisely why so many people are sick of the modern political debate. Instead of having an honest discussion about the true meaning of religious liberty, opponents of the bill have hijacked this discussion through lies, personal attacks, and irresponsible reporting.
"Our elected leaders have a fundamental duty to protect the religious freedom of every Arizonan, and that's what SB 1062 is all about.
"Simply put, the fear-mongering from opponents is unrelated to the language of the bill, and proves that hostility towards people of faith is very real. It's a shame we even need a bill like this in America. But growing hostility against freedom in our nation, and the increasing use of government to threaten and punish its own citizens, has made it necessary.
"I urge Governor Brewer to send a clear message to the country that in Arizona, everyone, regardless of their faith, will be protected in Arizona by signing SB 1062."

Planned Parenthood Saved My Daughter
I found myself in the small office of the local Planned Parenthood, with my husband discussing MY options with a counselor, giving details, setting up appointments…never letting me out of his sight, never letting me discuss what I might want or need, never letting me say more than I agreed.
The Nurse at the Planned Parenthood understood the situation I found myself in, a situation that is sadly NOT uncommon, and managed to take me aside and talk to me. She took the time to understand the bind I was in—not wanting to abort my child yet having an abusive partner who did not want me to continue my pregnancy, not having a full time job, not having income on my own, not knowing where to turn or what to do, feeling ashamed and blamed for the "situation" that "I" found myself in.
While many other women go to Planned Parenthood for assistance with abortion, I found that they were just as willing to support my choices to keep my child, offer me access to funding and programs, counseling services for abuse and transition, and legal assistance to prevent my husband from being allowed to force me to do something to my body that I didn't want (at that time). The nurse on duty had no agenda that she was touting—she was not invested in having me keep OR abort my child, she was really and truly there to support MY REPRODUCTIVE choices…
Because of the help I received from a nurse at the Planned Parenthood office I was empowered NOT to have an abortion AND to leave an abusive marriage.
I will always be grateful to the nurse in the Planned Parenthood office for taking the time to make me feel like what I wanted mattered and that I had the right to choose to KEEP my child as much as I would have to ABORT a child.

Sales tax collection in the City of Minot will finish down from last year -- but that was an expected finish to 2013 according to Finance Director Cindy Hemphill.
The final numbers for 2013 won't be calculated for another few days, but through the first 11 months, collections are down about eight or nine percent.
Of course, that is comparing this year to last -- another big year for construction in the city with many homeowners still working on rebuilding from the 2011 flood.
Those purchases pushed collections up...so much so that when the city creates the new budget...officials are using pre-flood year numbers which are more realistic on what to expect.
(Cindy Hemphill, City of Minot Finance Director) "To come equal with 2012, we would have to collect over 2 million dollars in sales tax for December and the largest month we have ever had was 1.5 million and that was in 2012...probably July so I will assume that we will be down about between 7 to 10 percent with sales tax collections."
Again the final numbers should be released sometime next week.

I thank the town of West Tisbury for the opportunity to hear about the different options related to the future of the Mill Pond.

Oilers Pick at #163: Teemu Hartikainen
Redline Report: Hartikainen has good size/strength, but his feet are fairly heavy.
Edmonton Sun-The Skinny: He's a pretty fiesty player, as many Finns are, who doesn't back away from a good puck battle and has the strength to do well in them. Doesn't dazzle you with his speed, but he's a consistent player, hard to knock off the puck, with good leadership skills.
QUOTE: "He comes to play. He competes. He's got pretty good hands but his skating has to improve a bit. He's like a poor man's Thomas Holstrom in that he competes all over the ice."
– Kevin Prendergast
Edmonton Journal-Just turned 18, but is expected to make the jump to the Finnish Elite League next year. Was with KalPa's junior squad, netting 10 goals in 37 games. He also had 24 penalty minutes and seven assists.
"He competes, works hard, he has pretty good hands," said Prendergast.
"His skating needs to improve a little bit but he's six-foot-two, 200 pounds and he uses his size. He should be on the Finnish junior team at the world championship. I really liked him when I saw him this year. He's almost a poor man's (Tomas) Holmstrom. He competes all over the ice."

Bipolar Disorder Health Center
Treatments for Mania in Bipolar Disorder
Benzodiazepines and Bipolar Disorder
In bipolar disorder, benzodiazepines help rapidly control certain manic symptoms until mood-stabilizing drugs can take effect. They are usually taken for a brief time, up to two weeks or so, with other mood-stabilizing drugs. They may also help restore normal sleep patterns in people with bipolar disorder.
What It Is: Benzodiazepines slow the central nervous system. In doing so, they can help treat mania, anxiety, panic disorder, insomnia, and seizures.
Benzodiazepines prescribed for bipolar disorder include (among others):
- Ativan (lorzepam)
- Klonopin (clonazepam)
- Valium (diazepam)
- Xanax (alprazolam)
What to Expect: The drugs act quickly and bring on a sense of calmness. They can sometimes cause lightheadedness, slurred speech, or unsteadiness.
Risks and Side Effects: Benzodiazepines can be habit-forming and may cause physical dependence. They are also dangerous (or possibly even fatal) if combined with alcohol, and therefore people taking a benzodiazepine should not drink any alcohol.
Other side effects of benzodiazepines include:
- Drowsiness or dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Slurred speech
- Memory loss
- Muscle weakness
Consult your doctor if you still take benzodiazepines to see if you still need them. If you have been taking the drugs for a long time, you may suffer withdrawal symptoms if you stop them suddenly. Talk with your doctor about how to taper off the drug.
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for Bipolar Disorder
Electroconvulsive therapy, also known as electroshock therapy or ECT, is used as an acute treatment for hospitalized patients who are suicidal, psychotic, or dangerous to others. It is effective in nearly 75% of patients who undergo it.
What It Is: In electroconvulsive therapy, an electric current is sent through the scalp to the brain. It is used to treat people who are suffering from severe depression or other mental illness. ECT is one of the fastest ways to relieve symptoms in people who suffer from mania or severe depression. ECT is generally used as a last resort when the illness does not respond to medicine or psychotherapy. It is also used when patients pose a severe threat to themselves or others and it is dangerous to wait until drugs take effect.
What to Expect: Prior to ECT treatment, a person is sedated using general anesthesia and a muscle relaxant is given.
Electrodes are placed on the patient's scalp and a finely controlled electric current is applied that causes a brief seizure in the brain. Because the muscles are relaxed, the seizure will usually be limited to slight movement of the hands and feet. Patients are carefully monitored during the treatment. The patient awakens minutes later, does not remember the treatment or events surrounding the treatment, and is often confused.
This confusion typically lasts for only a short period of time. ECT is given up to three times a week for two to four weeks.

In 1971, I joined the United States Navy as a 17-year-old country kid that wanted to see the world, but I didn't anticipate the reality of what I was getting myself into. I had always been adventurous growing up, one quick to try new and dangerous things.
Shortly after I started boot camp in Orlando, Fla., my close friend died from spinal meningitis at the camp. Unfortunately, I turned my pain into anger towards the military and blamed them for my friend's death.
After boot camp I was sent to Groton, Conn., for submarine school and refused to apply myself there. I was then sent to Norfolk, Va., where I was placed upon an ammunition ship and was sent into the Mediterranean. By the time I returned to my homeport in Norfolk I decided that neither the Navy nor any other military life was for me.
My life went downhill from that point on: drugs, prison, addictions, homelessness, hopelessness, etc.
As I look back over it all, I can clearly see that the Navy would have made a better man out of me if I had only allowed myself to be patient and learn, but my rebelliousness took me astray.
Over the decades of hardships and disgust, broken marriages, family and friends, I've learned that I can make a good and decent life for myself.
As I look back over my time in the military, I realize it was a great opportunity for me to go far in life. I suggest to all of my readers who may be actively involved at present to take full advantage of everything that it has to offer. After all, it's not just a job, it's truly an adventure when engaged in correctly.
After many years of hurt, failures, and pain through my own self-inflicted injuries, I finally became what life wanted me to be: an author, writer, pastor, business and family man. Though I was resistant to letting the military change me, it nevertheless affected me and my perspective on life. I will never forget my experiences in the Navy or where I came from.
Dr. Larry Manley is the executive director and senior pastor of the House of Destiny International Ministries. He is a counselor, teacher, minister, mentor, inspirational public speaker, and published author of the Majestic One, Jungle Within, and his latest book, Filling My Life with Joy /A Guide to the Better You.

Front view of the Flying Spur W12
The Flying Spur W12
The Bentley Flying Spur is a remarkable luxury sedan.
And not simply because of the incredible speeds it can reach. Designed for those who demand unrestrained luxury alongside uncompromising performance, it delivers the ultimate motoring experience, for driver and passengers alike.
From the sharp lines of its super-formed aluminium exterior to the hand-crafted hides and veneers that adorn the interior, the expertise of Bentley's craftsmen is evident throughout the Flying Spur W12. Every seam in the A-Grade leather is individually sewn. Every layer of veneer is lacquered and polished by hand. The entire cabin, from the wood and the leather to the architecture that supports the car's digital technology has been fitted by hand.
While the 6 litre W12 engine can propel the Flying Spur W12 from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 200 mph, the environment inside remains one of absolute calm – not least because of the specially-designed soundproofing installed in the floor and the doors.
Offering serene limousine comfort, in combination with phenomenal performance, the new Flying Spur is born of the belief that nothing is impossible; that the twin objectives of power and luxury can, if relentlessly pursued, be achieved.

Dr. David S. Hallegua's Ratings
I went to this doctor based on all the positive reviews, and believed I would meet a very knowledgeable man who would try and help me figure out why I have such severe, progressive spinal arthritis at a relatively early age. I was disillusioned to find a cold, aloof doc who barely spoke to me, had no sympathy for the loss of my quality of life, and no interest in looking past my "bad arthritis with fibromyalgia." He told me I'd need long acting pain meds and short ones too, and I should go to "fibromyalgia camp where you eat and sleep Fibro and learn how to deal with it." My husband asked him about my fast-moving scoliosis, and other possible autoimmune problems, but he waved them off. TWO MONTHS LATER I FOUND OUT I'VE BEEN SUFFERING WITH EHLERS DANLOS III all my life, and all these big-time rheumatologists either don't know how to diagnose this horrible genetic connective tissue disease of faulty collagen, or refuse to do so. Study up, Dr. H!!

Dr. Halluega is in the midst of saving my young daughters life. She had been sick for 4yrs before we found him. However, finally a doctor who care enough to go the extra mile.

Thank you for giving us this opportunity to share how wonderful he is. Taylor's Mom

Dr Hallegua was the first and only doctor who helped me understand fibromyalgia and the many ways it affected my body. He never trivialized my concerns, but addressed them with care and concern. I knew Dr Hallegua was THE doctor I had been searching for after my initial visit. He listened to me and answered my endless list of questions. He asked about symptoms I never mentioned before, feeling my list of complaints was already too long! His soft voice had a calming effect and the interest he took in his patients created a trust that is vital, but lacking, in most physicians. This doctor even took his patient's phone calls! Aside from being a well-informed top rheumatologist, he applied and shared his knowledge in an easy-to-understand format. For over 7 years I drove 3+ hours each way to see Dr Hallegua, stopping only when I moved to Oregon. I highly recommend him and wish I could still see him.

Dr. Hallegua is a godsend. I feel as though he sets the standard for doctors on how to treat their patients and provide the best quality medical care. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, calm, kind, positive and attentive. He actually listens when you talk to him and responds to your concerns about your health issues. You can reach him at anytime. His office assistant makes sure she connects you with him during office hours if needed. It is easy to make an appointment with him. You may have to wait (15 to 30 mins) to see him but don't worry, he will give you the time you need when he is with you. You feel better after a visit with Dr. Hallegua.

After years of little help for my fibromyalgia and no one explaining about my other symptoms, finding Dr Hallegua was an answer to prayer.The first visit he asked about things I quit mentioning because no one helped me or didn't really think I knew what I was talking about. And here was a doctor who asked the questions and had answers. He explained why my body did what it did, and that knowledge makes things much easier for me. I walked out feeling like I finally had a doctor who understood about my medical issues and cared. What a gem. I used to drive from San Diego and now I fly from Portland!!

Ths was our first cruise on X. We have cruised mostly on RCI. We booked Aqua 2 cabin 9101.
Food. The food and the service was very good in Blu every night and at breakfast. The tables are close together but it gives you a chance to talk to others if you like. My only issue is getting a second glass of wine if you ask they will get it for you. We had lunch at the buffet tons of choices.
We did 1 special rest. Qusine we were in a group of 12. This was a good way to do it since you can try more items.
Show. All the shows were very good. We never had to show up early we could always fine a good seat.
Pools. Again never had a problem finding 2 seats. The chairs had a blue cushion very comfortable on the upper deck chairs were just straps. On the 1 sea day people must have been up early trying to reserve the best seats. I was on deck around 9am on allot of the chairs there was a note from the pool butler saying your items havebeen moved. Great job guys.
Boarding started at 10.30am. We arrived at 11.15am we were on deck at 11.21 withMimosa in hand. Rooms were ready around 1.15pm.Muster was at 7.45pm.
