Sewer Rates Frequently Asked Questions
View the current rates for sewer service.
Q: My sewer bill is higher - what's the rate increase all about?
A: City Council adopted Ordinance # 6197 which includes a sewer rate schedule for annual increase of 8% that began October 1 , 2011 thru October 1, 2015 (RMC 12.16). Prior October 1, 2011 , the rate increase of 4% was implemented each year on October 1 beginning on October 1, 2005. There was an expansive public process for the sewer rate increases - many public meetings, including NAB meetings, were held and the Council had a public hearing prior to adopting the ordinance that reflected the annual increases.
Q: Why do we need a sewer rate increase?
A: The sewer lines that serve Reno are aging and they require maintenance. There are 82 miles of sewer lines that are more than 60 years old, meaning they could potentially fail. Another 104 miles of lines are 40 to 60 years old, and 25 percent of these could fail. The backlog for repairing the old pipes totals around 108 miles of sewer line. Other large diameter interceptor pipes also need rehabilitation.
Q: How was the decision made to increase the sewer rates?
A: City staff presented the proposed increase to the Financial Advisory Board and the Sewer Rate Advisory Board, both comprised of Reno citizens, as well as to all Neighborhood Advisory Boards. The rate increase with options was presented to the Reno City Council, who approved it based on staff recommendations and reviews by both the Financial Advisory Board and the Sewer Rate Advisory Board.
Q: Why such a large increase?
A: With 100 percent of the 82 miles of older sewer lines at risk of failure, staff from the Public Works and Finance Departments identified the need for approximately $20 million annually to make the necessary repairs to these lines before serious damages take place. This investment now will save millions of dollars down the road by making these repairs before serious breaks in the lines occur or the repairs become more complex.
Q: How does this rate compare to other cities in the region?
A: Prior to October 1, 2005 the rate for a single family residence was about $19.40 a month. A survey of 37 cities in the western United States found that the average sewer bill was $42 a month. With this increase, the City of Reno sewer rate still falls in the middle when compared to those communities and to other cities in Nevada.
Q: What are the sewer funds used for?
A: The City's sewer enterprise fund pays for the operation and maintenance of the two sewer plants as well as all of the sewer lines, storm drains and ditches. It also pays for effluent reuse on golf courses and regional parks. Since Reno and Sparks discharge effluent to the Truckee River the fund also supports projects to improve water quality through environmental improvements to the river such as river restoration. The City has contributed funds to help match grant monies for the Nature Conservancy's River Restoration projects. These projects help ensure that the river's water quality is maintained downstream of the Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility.
Q: Why weren't these repairs made before the situation got to be so critical?
A: The City began a comprehensive condition assessment of sewer lines and interceptors more than five years ago. The process is very time-consuming even with the modern technology now available for conducting such assessments. Prior to this review initiated in early 2000, the technology used to identify and assess conditions was not accurate or as useful as it is today.
Q: Why did the City chose an out of state vendor to process sewer payments?
A: The City has approximately 67,000 sewer accounts with associated payments that must be processed on a quarterly basis. In continuing efforts to maximize efficiency and streamline processes, the City began looking at a third party processing service for sewer payments. It was discovered that there were no local companies that provided this service. Fortunately, the City was able to find a company, BankUp Corporation in San Jose, California, that provides this specific service to other government utilities, at a reasonable rate. At the same time this system was implemented, the City enhanced the online system for making sewer payments. As more customers use the online system for making sewer payments, fewer checks will need to be processed using the electronic scanning of payments in San Jose, which will reduce this cost.

MANTEO, N.C. (AP) — High winds and low humidity have fanned the flames of a wildfire at a North Carolina wildlife refuge to more than 15,000 acres.
Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge spokeswoman Bonnie W. Strawser says the fire is burning primarily on refuge lands but has spread to the Dare Range where the North Carolina Forest Service has responsibility for battling the blaze.
Residents of Stumpy Point have been contacted by Dare County Emergency Management to determine what special needs they have in case an evacuation is ordered.
Firefighters are creating firebreaks and doing their own controlled burning ahead of the wildfire to try to take away its fuel.
The fire started Thursday mostly likely from a lightning strike.

Love them, exactly what I was expecting. Very cute with the shower curtain.

Should have read the reviews before purchasing. Cheap plastic and toothbrush holder keeps coming off. Disappointed in the quality.
09/18/2013By Mike
Be careful of the " bait and switch" . In the describtion says its ceramic, but it's PLASTIC!!! I was a bit up set and they offerered to take it back but I felt like it was more hassel than worth trying to ship it back. Hopfully they have corrected the description.

I agree with the first review. The pump container fell apart as soon as I put soap in it. The toothbrush holder drives me nuts. Tried even glueing the top to the bottom but that didn't help. Spend the extra and get the ceramic ones.
07/27/2012By annieoakleywannabe
These are really cute! I am glad though that I got them on sale. I was surprised they were plastic. Not really a bad thing for a bathroom, though. The only thing I am really disappointed about is the lid staying on the toothbrush holder. Every time I grab my toothbrush I have to hold it on to keep everything from coming apart.

botak chin // robin hood - ocean trout, soba noodle, avocado yuzu mousse // kalimutu's kfc
Oh my, I daresay we've found our latest favourite brunch & lunch spot. We can't seem to stay away.
Their lunch menu has a slight Malaysian twist to it. The botak chin (named after one of Malaysia's most wanted criminals - I'll tell you about Kalimutu when I have the kunyit fried chicken), ridiculously good, its a permanent feature on our table. The char siew pork is gleamingly fatty lush & melts in your mouth, the crepe blanketing the pork is light, as a bite with the pork the only point of difference is the undeniable silkiness of the fat. The tempura enoki stays pristinely crispy for texture, with brightness from the carrots & sweet orange slivers cutting through the richness.
brioche pain perdu, spiced wine poached plums, mascarpone & candied pistachio
On another occasion, I indulged in the pain perdu, crisp thick soldiers, with those sweet bright plums & jam with a hint of rose, and that decadent white chocolate mascarpone with milk chocolate shavings.
We have barely exhausted the menu because we can't stay away from our favourites, but I have my heart set on the trifle yoghurt, apple & peach almond crumble next, or perhaps the orange & rosewater bircher muesli.

Spending just £4000, Chris Harris becomes the happy owner of an E30 BMW 325i, with intentions to make a rally car out of it. For many fans of BMW, the E30 model is the 3 series in its purest form. Its rear suspension – a semi-trailing arm system – made the car kind of tricky to handle, but it was pure fun for the more adventurous driver. Watch the video to see Harris's experience with his 325i.

RALEIGH, NC (AP/WECT) - North Carolina state health officials say their proposal to revamp Medicaid spending is realistic and achievable. Now they'll have to convince enough legislators of the same things before it can be carried out.
The Department of Health and Human Services unveiled Monday its final Medicaid reform proposal, providing more details to a framework discussed publicly a few weeks ago.
The plan would emphasize networks of physicians or hospitals that would have incentives to keep Medicaid costs in check. It avoids entering contracts with large managed-care providers.
Sen. Louis Pate served on a Medicaid reform advisory board. He says the plan doesn't go far enough to bring costs under control and to offer seamless physical and mental health care for consumers.
The General Assembly will debate the plan starting in May.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC
With Vancouver coming to Rio Tinto Stadium tomorrow, Real Salt Lake will be looking to establish a strike partnership to carry forward with Alvaro Saborio out with injury.
Striking up a partnership: Olmes at the core
Leading scorer Alvaro Saborio is out for at least a few weeks, and that's certain to add a bit of stress to the RSL strike force. As a result, it's important that a partnership be struck up between the strikers available — whether this is Olmes Garcia and Devon Sandoval or Olmes Garcia and Joao Plata is difficult to say. It seems likely, though, that Olmes Garcia is at the center of considerations at this point, such have been his displays in this still-early season.
He presents different advantages with each option: Alongside Sandoval, Garcia could play a little deeper and more central, picking up on balls shook loose by the big man. Sandoval's also a disruptive figure, and we've seen him getting some joy with his ability to hold off an opponent. Alongside Plata, Garcia could be a more central figure around which Plata would pivot. The options are boundless.
There's always a chance Garcia doesn't get the start, but if he's fit, the odds seem pretty good. He's the most flexible option of the three potentially available, and with RSL's attack still developing and building anew, that flexibility may be enough to sway considerations. He's also the only one of the three with a goal, and in every match he's played, he's looked dangerous and likely to score further goals.
We're not unfamiliar with how Vancouver Whitecaps FC is looking this season, largely because we played against them only — what — three weeks ago? It's a funny thing, this somewhat-randomized intra-conference play. As a result, there shouldn't be any real surprises — and hopefully no strangely decided penalty kicks with which to contend. This should be particularly useful when considering Vancouver's attacking options. Truth be told, RSL looked pretty good against Vancouver, but improving on that will be a high priority.
First to the gates
Something like that, right? The onus is on Real Salt Lake to control the proceedings and to score first. It's an obviously desirable thing, but as we've seen, this side has trouble breaking down teams defending deep. Particularly without Alvaro Saborio out there to disrupt defenders through hold-up play, there's an inherent difficulty in breaking down those walls — unparking the bus, as it were. Scoring first and early forces Vancouver to abandon any designs to sit back and defend.

Tony Beltran - RSL's biggest Star Wars fan - with a friendly reminder to dress up in your best Star Wars gear for this Saturday's "May the 4th be with you" 7:00 p.m. kickoff against Vancouver at Rio Tinto Stadium.
You've seen the poster and you've seen the Twitter pictures; you may have even spotted him at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Until now, though, you may not have known the identity of Real Salt Lake's favorite bounty hunter, Garrett Davis. A RSL season ticket holder since the inaugural season in 2005 and a huge Star Wars fan, Davis attends every Claret-and-Cobalt home match in a full-body, RSL-themed Boba Fett suit.
With that sort of commitment to both club and Empire, you can imagine how excited Davis was when he first heard that RSL would be hosting Star Wars Day at Rio Tinto Stadium for this Saturday's match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
"I have a hard time describing it," he told RealSaltLake.com on Tuesday. "My wife said it perfectly: Just saying I'm excited about Saturday's match is an understatement. It's definitely two of my passions, it's a match made in heaven. It's like peanut butter and jelly, having RSL and Star Wars together. I've seen other teams in different leagues do something like this and I always thought it'd be great to have here and I'm really excited to be a part of the festivities. My brother called me to let me know I was on the poster and I was absolutely ecstatic to be a part of it."
For those who don't know, Boba Fett is a villainous bounty hunter who first appeared in the second Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back. Davis began putting his Fett costume together last season, when he bought his helmet, painted it Claret and Cobalt and started wearing it to games. He even got it signed by most RSL players at last year's "Meet the Team" event, several of whom – most notably noted Star Wars fan Tony Beltran – got a kick out of the head gear.
He took things up a notch this season, buying the full-body suit to match his helmet. And, despite his character's evil tendencies – Boba Fett pals around with Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt in George Lucas's iconic series – Davis has been embraced by RSL fans, who often pose for pictures with him at home games.
"It's been incredible," he said of the fan reaction to his costume. "Even last year when I just had the mask it was great. This year, with the full suit, it's just been incredible. It's been really fun to take pictures with other fans and the reception's always great when I'm walking into the stadium with friends and family."
Davis – who said he's "a little nervous" about wearing the suit to the stadium in the summer heat – will participate in Saturday's "May the 4th be with you" festivities as the RSL Season Ticket Holder of the Game. You'll have a chance to catch him on the Rio Tinto Stadium big screen before the match as he leads the Parade of Kings out onto the field.
"It's a fun way to combine two passions of mine and a fun way to express my fandom to the club," he said. "Putting together the costume with the RSL colors and logo shows some extra passion, I guess. Luckily, it hasn't driven away my wife and she still comes to games with me."
Real Salt Lake played Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a hard-fought 1-1 draw at BC Place on Saturday.
Here are a few interesting numbers from this weekend's match:
Real Salt Lake just completed a stretch that saw the team play five of its first seven games on the road. Four of those seven games came against teams that qualified for the 2012 MLC Cup Playoffs, with one against the defending Supporters' Shield winners San Jose, one against Eastern Conference Finalist D.C. United, one against Western Conference Finalist Seattle and one against Western Conference Wild Card Vancouver.
The Claret-and-Cobalt will play seven of its next 10 MLS matches at home. RSL is unbeaten in the friendly confines of Rio Tinto Stadium so far this year, tying Colorado 1-1 on March 16 and beating Seattle 2-1 on March 30.
Real Salt Lake forward Olmes Garcia scored in the 66th minute on Saturday, curling a 20-yard effort from the left side into the top right corner. The world class finish was Garcia's first goal in three appearances for RSL since signing a five-year deal with the team in preseason.
Garcia's goal broke RSL's 275-minute road scoreless streak. The Claret-and-Cobalt hadn't scored on the road since Alvaro Saborio found the back of the net in the 85th minute of RSL's 2-0 season opening win at San Jose on March 3.
If RSL maintains its current averages of 2 points per game at home and 0.8 points per game on the road for the rest of the season, it will finish the season with 47.6 points. While 47.6 points isn't technically possible – last time we checked, there aren't any partial points handed out – the rounded-up total of 48 would have comfortably qualified for last year's Western Conference Playoffs. Should note that we're not trying to get carried away - there's a long, long, long way to go - just having a little fun with numbers.
The Real Salt Lake Reserves dropped their first match of 2013 on Sunday, losing 2-0 at Vancouver to fall to 2-1-1 on the Reserve League season.
The Claret-and-cobalt Reserves return to action on Monday, April 22, when they'll take on USL Pro side Phoenix FC at Rio Tinto Stadium. Get your tickets to the April 22 match now.
Check out the highlights to Sunday's game above.
Both Real Salt Lake and Vancouver are battling poor form heading into Saturday's matchup (2 p.m. MT; ABC4), but if Jason Kreis's side doesn't adapt and learn from recent failures, they'll be getting in just enough of a mess as to be irritating.
Midfield control
With the news that Sebastian Velasquez is set to miss the match after suffering a broken hand, Real Salt Lake is certain to see yet another altered starting midfield four. It'll be the fourth different midfield lineup — in seven matches. This lack of continuity is inevitably difficult for a side to deal with, but if Javier Morales is ready to start, it'll start to take on a more definitive appearance.
A disjointed midfield makes Kyle Beckerman's job as captain and general midfield organizer that much more difficult, and the list of fully fit players is small: Beckerman, Grabavoy, Gil, Alvarez, Martinez, Stertzer. Three of those players would expect to start most matches; the drop-off toward the end is a bit severe as experience is concerned.
Defensive focus
Individual mistakes have proven costly for Real Salt Lake in 2013, which is likely a function of the relatively low cooperative inexperience of the group, which is to say that they haven't been together for long enough. Extra focus to cut out these mistakes will be essential, especially as Martin Rennie might be instructing his players to target those specific weaknesses. Clearing balls on first opportunity, stepping up during the offside trap, and making immediate, simple passes will be necessary if RSL is interested in clearing up the errors that have plagued these early matches.
We saw last week that Colorado took very specific aim at RSL's left side and Abdoulie Mansally; whether he is a defensive liability or not — and that's very much up for discussion — it's hard to deny that other coaches seem to think so. When one player is targeted frequently, they're more likely to make costly mistakes; Mansally and his teammates will need to be wary of the modes of attack employed.
Finishing chances
Despite the uncertainty created by an ever-rotating cast of midfielders, Jason Kreis's side have made creating chances look a bit easy. His squad's averaged a surprising 14 shots per match in the early weeks and attempting more forward passes per match (175, if you're wondering) than any side, excepting Portland.
Robbie Findley's still out, so he doesn't get a chance to finish; Joao Plata may be close to a return, and Alvaro Saborio is still recovering from knee swelling. With the two fully healthy forwards remaining — Devon Sandoval and Olmes Garcia — rather untested and still learning the system, the midfield will need to step up in creation to an extent not seen in some time.

Things didn't go so well for Real Salt Lake last time it played at Vancouver, with the Claret-and-Cobalt losing 2-1 to the 'Caps at BC Place on Aug. 11, 2012.
Check out the highlights of that match above and make sure you tune-in to ABC4 at 2 p.m. MT on Saturday to see if RSL can avenge last year's defeat at Whitecaps FC.
Any time you've got 90 minutes with no goals, there's a chance the match was a bit on the boring side — Real Salt Lake's scoreless draw against Vancouver on Saturday was no big exception. But with plenty of lineup changes and some interesting substitutions, there was plenty of tactical interest to be had.
With backup goalie Kyle Reynish on for regular 'keeper Nick Rimando, and Chris Wingert and Kwame Watson-Siriboe as the central defenders in front of him, there was always a slight risk that continuity could be disrupted and defensive posturing rendered obsolete. Much to their credit, the slightly makeshift back line did well to snuff out chances before they started — all while both outside backs Tony Beltran and Kenny Mansally were both able to get forward with ease and aplomb.
With Javier Morales out and Will Johnson not starting, the midfield did struggle a bit to create clear chances, but Jonny Steele's defensive contribution (4/4 tackling, 3 interceptions) was a bright spot. Luis Gil failed to inject himself fully in the tip of the diamond, but Ned Grabavoy was in fine passing form and Kyle Beckerman was his usual strong self.
With the game bordering on boring through most of the first and second halves, late substitutions promised at least some sort of shift in momentum. For Real Salt Lake, the arrival on the scene of Sebastian Velasquez, Will Johnson and David Viana did just that.
The most notable was certainly Sebastian Velasquez, who took the opportunity, as they say, with both hands. With late runs into the box, exciting dribbling ability, and a demand for the ball, he showed a hunger and drive that set things alight late on.
Will Johnson, on the other hand, didn't have too much to do — set up as a right back in a shift from his usual left back spot (when moving into a defensive position), with Tony Beltran going to the left, he got forward well but wasn't able to really change the affair in a substantial way. With only 12 minutes on the pitch, that wasn't entirely surprising.
David Viana came on and played 19 minutes in his home debut, but he, like most, didn't show anything entirely too exciting. As a newcomer to the system, the fact that he's getting minutes at all speaks well of his ability, but if he is handed another chance in 2012, he'll want to be more of an impact.
Heading into the playoffs, RSL has done as well in the last five games of the season, gaining more points in the last five matches of the regular season (11) than in any other season. Whether this affects the long-term viability of the playoff campaign is difficult to say definitively, but Jason Kreis is a firm believer that form carries over. It's hard to see it not having at least some impact.

Bouncing back from a painful cup exit is a difficult thing to do for any side, but the Claret-and-Cobalt will want to avoid the "continental hangover" effect against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday.
With the match the final regular season contest before the start of MLS Cup playoffs, three questions will be on the top of Jason Kreis's mind: How does RSL approach the match? What personnel should be used, and who is available? And, finally: How does regular season form sit in the priority?
As detailed in Thursday's post on The Sovereign, there's plenty left to play for, even when we're just talking about the regular season. The pain of losing against Herediano is still there, but as it so often does, time marches on and the Claret-and-Cobalt are being pushed into another meaningful match. Despite the subdued build-up — it's hard to imagine it's easy to escalate after this week — it could still potentially affect RSL's ability to host the MLS Cup and to qualify for CONCACAF Champions League.
As such, finding the right balance will be critical for Jason Kreis. As much as fans have had a hard week, the players will feel it doubly so, and whether that's best solved by putting them in a high-pressure scenario or by having them relax a bit and just play is hard to really say effectively. This is, as they say, why he's paid the big bucks.
With two additional injury concerns coming out of the Herediano match, Jason Kreis has more than the approach to the match to worry about. Both Will Johnson and Chris Schuler came out of the match because of injury, and with Jamison Olave and Ned Grabavoy kept out of proceedings altogether on Tuesday, pickings are looking slim.
If Schuler and Olave are both out, it seems likely that Kwame Watson-Siriboe would be used if fit — but at this point, that may be a fairly substantial "if." The only other immediate option would be to push Chris Wingert inside, dropping Kenny Mansally in at left back.
If Grabavoy is indeed out, Luis Gil (if sufficiently recovered from mid-week and from illness) would almost certainly take his place; if Will Johnson is out, it's hard to look past Jonny Steele — if just for defensive contribution. Steele has, to my mind, received a lot of criticism for his play, some of it justified — but his work rate and defensive ability are the closest available in midfield next to Will Johnson's.
It's often bandied about that form is the deciding factor moving into playoffs, sometimes with some evidence, other times with significantly less than that. Regardless, RSL will want to keep Vancouver's form spotty — in their last nine matches, they've won just once, a solitary 4-0 victory over Western Conference whipping boys Chivas USA. Further, it seems odd, but with a win, RSL could find their best form since June.
After Real Salt Lake failed to win their last six matches to end 2011, there were concerns about the ability of the squad to respond positively in the playoffs. A strong win at home against Seattle aside, there wasn't much momentum to carry forward.
Regardless of the statistical realities (or irrealities, as the case may be) of form leading into playoffs, it stands to reckon that keeping his troops injury-free will be high on the priority list for Jason Kreis. If he's to go into playoffs with only one recognized center back available, an overwhelming sense of deja vu will pass over all of Utah. That may be as much an influencing factor as anything.

RSL started last Saturday's 2-1 loss at Vancouver well. Tactically, there was nothing to be upset about, despite a lack of goals: Vancouver's speed on the wings was never particularly threatening before the 56th minute. But a simple clearance scuffed into the back of Chris Wingert (the wrong place at the wrong time if there ever was one) rebounded to Camilo, who slotted home with ease. Tactical error? Hardly.
But from that point forward, the shape changed. Chris Wingert and Tony Beltran emerged from their deeper positions, the midfielders dropped a little deeper, and Nat Borchers began pushing even further forward than most strikers.
It wasn't that new tactical approach that faltered when Dane Richards found the net: Chris Wingert (again, though I don't' hold him accountable in the least for the first goal, and with this second goal, it's a tough scenario) stood off the winger, and Richards took a long, curling shot that fizzed past Nick Rimando. Again, not a tactical error, but an error nonetheless.
Though the tactical approach had us set up well, abandoning it made it seem that we initially hadn't set up to find a goal. It wasn't, I suppose, a comfortable approach for RSL's full backs, sitting back like they did. The attack was somewhat neutered: To compensate for the lack of width, Johnson and Grabavoy took up wider positions and stayed a bit more on their sides — while recently, Johnson has been seen darting around the midfield picking up loose balls and making vital tackles, he was a bit more left-sided today, providing more emphasis on attack. But the simple, easy balls played from the full backs just inside were missing, and as a result, we didn't have much chance to build up play on the outside.
As a result, too many times, Espindola was forced to drop deep or very, very wide to help build play, leaving Saborio on a bit of an island. It is hard to say if Javier Morales remaining in the game for 60, 70 or even 90 minutes might have helped rescue something from the match. An ineffable bit of magic from Javier Morales, absent from the proceedings after the half, might have been enough.
The goal to close things out from Nat Borchers provided an interesting piece of the story, though, as Paulo Jr. — in his first match back from loan — found space efficiently and neatly, and further swung in a rather brilliant cross for the defender to get a head on. As they say, there is a silver lining. The other big silver lining? Kwame Watson-Siriboe, who was tidy, strong and safe the whole match. And to think, we picked him up for only just more than the cost of a loaf of bread (or something to that effect, right?) Watching this kid grow in our system has been exciting, and it promises to continue in that direction.tgo

Legend of the Hartlepool Monkey
During the Napoleonic Wars the French were, for obvious reasons, persona non grata throughout Britain. Indeed, it was such concern about French infiltrators and spies that provided the basis for the legend of the Hartlepool Monkey.
Some time in the early 19th century a French warship was supposedly wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool in North East England. The only survivor was a monkey, dressed up in French military uniform apparently for the purpose of entertaining the doomed crew.
Not knowing what a Frenchman might look like, the Hartlepool locals assumed they had apprehended one, and held a trial for him in the town centre. Unsurprisingly, the monkey was unable to answer their questions and was duly sentenced to death by hanging.
There is also another, more sinister, interpretation of the legend which states that the survivor of the wreck might not have been a monkey at all, but rather a French boy employed as part of the ship's crew, "After all, the term powder-monkey was commonly used in those times for the children employed on warships to prime the cannon with gunpowder."

5. Snatch. (2000)
Directed by Guy Ritchie. Starring Jason Statham, Brad Pitt, and Benicio Del Toro.
A boxing promoter gets entangled in a world of crime that coincides with a mad pursuit of a priceless stolen diamond.
Why I love it:
This movie has it all: a cool cast, seamless editing, a kickass soundtrack, shirtless Brad Pitt, indecipherable accents, Jews, Russians, gangstas, boxers, gypsies, jewelers, guns, pigs, dogs, a hilarious and clever script—everything but a woman. But that's okay, it makes up for that with complete and total awesomeness.

Allergies Health Center
Allergy Tests
A skin or blood test can tell you what substance, or allergen, may trigger an allergic response.
Skin tests
Skin tests work by exposing a person to suspected allergens and seeing if a reaction occurs. The results of the skin tests will be available immediately after testing is done.
Normal (negative):
No raised red areas (called wheals) are created by the allergen.
Abnormal (positive):
A wheal created by the allergen is at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) larger than the reaction to the negative control. The larger the wheal, the more certain it is that the person is allergic to that specific allergen.
Blood tests
Allergy blood tests look for substances in the blood called antibodies. Results of allergy blood tests are usually available in about 7 days.
Normal (negative):
The levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), a type of antibody, are the same as in a person who does not have allergies.
Abnormal (positive):
The levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies for a particular allergen or group of allergens are 4 times the normal level.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have a skin test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Exercise that causes excessive sweating.
- Getting a skin patch wet.
- Taking medicines such as antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants.
What To Think About
- You may not need allergy testing if you have mild allergies that are easily controlled with medicine or lifestyle changes.
- Skin tests for allergies:
- Are the easiest and least expensive method for identifying allergies in most people.
- Are more reliable than blood tests for identifying common inhaled (airborne) allergies, such as pollens, dust, mold, and pet dander.
- Cannot tell whether a person is reacting to a certain food. Further testing (such as an elimination diet) may be needed to identify this.
- Can be unpleasant for children and their parents.
- May take as long as 3 to 4 hours.
- Blood tests for allergies:
- Are less sensitive than skin tests. So it is possible for people to have a positive reaction to a skin test but have a negative reaction to a blood test.
- Are not affected by antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants, so people do not need to stop taking these medicines while being tested.
- May be a good choice if you have very sensitive skin or a skin problem, such as eczema, that would make it hard to see whether you have a reaction to a skin test.
- Will not cause an allergic reaction. They may be used if you have had a serious allergic reaction in the past.
- Cost more than skin tests.
- You may need to be tested for a latex allergy before having a major surgery if you have had frequent exposure to latex. Allergy blood tests are used for this. If you have a latex allergy, latex products should not be used during your surgery or recovery.
- Other blood tests, such as fluoro-allergosorbent testing (FAST), multiple antigen simultaneous testing (MAST), and radioallergosorbent testing (RAST), are sometimes used to check for allergens.

Fire fighters from multiple departments were forced to battle the elements this evening while trying to knock down a house fire in Colchester.
Fire fighters say the call came in around dinner time. According to officials on scene, the fire started in the kitchen of the Buckingham Road home, and quickly spread. No one was in the home at the time of the fire. Several area departments arrived on the scene within minutes of the original call but officials say cold temperatures and strong winds severely hampered their efforts.
Assistant Chief Peter Igneri of the Malletts Bay Fire Dept. said Saturday, "It's cold and the wind really hampered our ability to get this knocked down. From the time I got here, about a minute later, the windows let go, and the whole house caught. So the wind really caused the fire to spread faster then we had hoped."
Fire Fighters are continuing to investigate the exact cause of the fire. Officials say the house may not be a total loss but suffered significant damage.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Imagine what life would be like if you couldn't see well. Reading might not be possible. Watching a movie could be tough. Focusing on the face of a loved one could drive you to tears.
The number of people losing their vision is growing, yet experts say much of this vision loss could be prevented.
Don't put off regular eye exams because your eyes feel fine or you don't wear glasses or contact lenses. Signs of some eye diseases, such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are present before you might notice symptoms.
The National Eye Institute says more than 2.9 million Americans ages 60 and older have low vision. This will increase 72 percent by the year 2030.
People who are 65 or older should have an annual eye exam even if they are seeing well.
Many diseases cause vision loss as we age, but AMD is the Western world's top cause of blindness. Leading to loss of your central vision, it may cause dark spots in your sight, make straight lines appear wavy, or cause text to seem blurry. AMD, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and dry eye syndrome can all rob you of sight.
It's best to see your eye doctor before trouble starts. But these signs should prompt a visit at once:
Trouble seeing objects close up or far away
Colors that seem faded
Poor night vision
Double or multiple vision
Loss of side vision
Poor central vision or straight objects that look wavy
Blurry text or type
See your eye doctor regularly (each year if you're 60 or older)
Don't smoke
Use sunglasses that block ultraviolet (UV) rays in bright sun or at high altitudes
Exercise regularly
Eat healthy

Jekyll Island, GA – Once almost exclusively a staple of Southern cuisine, grits have made their way from the family breakfast table to the lunch and dinner menus of some of the nation's finest restaurants.
"For generations, grits have provided daily nourishment through good times and bad -but almost exclusively served in the deep South," said Linda Carman, baking expert for Martha White®, the makers of Jim Dandy® Grits. "Now, thanks in large part to young creative lowcountry chefs who appreciate their culinary roots, grits have become trendy across the country and served for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

The federal government, led by FDA and NOAA, is taking a multi-pronged approach to ensure that seafood from Gulf waters is not contaminated by oil. The strategy includes precautionary closures, increased seafood testing inspections and a re-opening protocol. «Read the rest of this article»

Because stroke affects different functional areas of the brain, there is no single recommended treatment plan for stroke. Instead, doctors and therapists of various disciplines must work together to create an appropriate rehabilitation plan to match each individual stroke victim's needs. This may involve speech therapy, physical therapy, nutrition counseling, mental health treatment, and more.
resources and articles
After a stroke, mental and physical capabilities are regained through the brain's ability to change, or neuroplasticity. This means that a person who loses a particular function due to stroke must work very hard and in a targeted manner to retrain their brain and regain that function.
Board games are an excellent way to target the different sections of the brain and help a recovering stroke victim regain their prior abilities. With practice, a stroke survivor can strengthen neural connections for the lost functions and regain some or all of their prior abilities.

After initially being sceptical I have now been bitten by the Twitter bug and hence my lack of blog posts recently. I think part of the reason is Twitter is easier than blogging. You provide a short snapshot of what you are doing and click update – that's it. It's interesting to view your timeline after a week just to see what you have (or have not) achieved.
Another huge dimension of Twitter is the community and interaction aspect. During the holidays I happened to see a tweet about an online webcast (#wttw) and 10 minutes later found myself taking part in it from the comfort of my own home. You don't come across things like this on Facebook.
I've seen various groups talking about using Twitter in the classroom – most of the ideas seemed to be pie in the sky thinking. So I decided to act upon it – bringing the pie down from the sky. So my class now has their own Twitter account – @ClassroomTweets. We manage this in class by having one of our classroom computers running the 'tweet' page so that class members can type what they are doing or thinking throughout the day. There are a few simple rules – tweeters must not mention any child's name or respond to any messages or replies to tweets 'from the outside' without either myself or my amazing teaching assistant Elaine being present. It's extremely interesting to read as the class teacher. For example, I've learned that my class only class a 'literacy lesson' as the time I am teaching from the front of the class – they believe the time they are at their desks working isn't classed as 'literacy' or indeed a lesson.
Let's see what else I can learn from reading tweets…

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Right-handed reliever Pat Neshek and the Oakland Athletics reached agreement Wednesday on a $975,000, one-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration.
The AL West champion A's rallied around Neshek after his newborn son, Gehrig, died 23 hours after his birth just before the playoffs began last month. Oakland players took the field wearing patches in the baby's honour during their five-game division series loss to the Detroit Tigers.
He went 2-1 with a 1.37 ERA in 24 appearances with the A's after being acquired from Baltimore on Aug. 3 for cash considerations. Neshek, who made $825,000 last year, was 3-2 with 11 saves and a 2.66 ERA in 35 Triple-A appearances before joining Oakland.
He can earn an additional $75,000 in performance bonuses: $25,000 each for 45, 55 and 65 games.
The remaining six A's players eligible for arbitration are first baseman Daric Barton, reliever Jerry Blevins, catcher George Kottaras, first baseman Brandon Moss, infielder Adam Rosales and designated hitter/outfielder Seth Smith.

Silvio was quite the host. He met us at the airport and took us to the apartment, showing us sights along the way and where we could do our local grocery shopping. The apartment was stocked with groceries and all the essentials for getting started. Air conditioning, washing machine and all the advertised amenities were in working order. Maps, tourist literature and restaurant recommendations were in abundance. The apartment location near one of the city gates made it easy to walk or bus to any attraction or dining place in or around the center. Silvio even provided our first multi-ride bus ticket. Not only did we see Bologna from the inside out and taste the culinary treats of the city and region, but we also used the easy access to the train station for our trips to Florence, Modena, Parma and Venice. After two weeks, when we decided to take up Silvio's original offer to arrange a taxi for us he insisted on driving us back to the airport himself. He is a wonderful gentleman and a landlord you can depend on.
Italy Vacation
We stayed for 5 days in July 2009 and were totally impressed with this condo. The size of the rooms was very large and everything seemed recently renovated. The outside terrace ran the length of the condo, making it also very spacious. The condo was situated in what appears to be a recently built development. The landscaping also seems recent. Outdoor parking was gated, very secure. We used the condo as a springboard for day trips to Florence, Venice, etc., and of course Bologna. In Bologna, all interesting spots were a short bus ride away, very convenient. The owner, Paola, was very welcoming and helpful. She even provided complimentary bus tickets, bottle of wine/beer, fruit baskets....WOW! A North American style supermarket is a 5 min walk away. Overall our family was extremely satisfied and would definitely return next time we're in Italy. Grazie Paola.
Best vacation of our life!
We had a wonderful time staying in Bologna and loved our Due Torri apartment. The location was phenominal - so convenient to all the major attractions in Bologna. The neighborhood was very safe and close to wonderful restaurants, world class shopping, markets and the train station. We were within walking distance of everything we needed and close to the train station when we wanted to travel to other cities. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and extremely quiet - everything we needed for a home away from home for two weeks. Many thanks to Pietro for his wonderful hospitality. He made the whole experience, including our research and booking, so enjoyable. We hope to return again!! Thanks for everything and for your kindness to our daughter!

On the morning of May 10, Hancock's corps lay stretched along Shady
Grove Church Road from Block House Bridge to Waite's Shop. The situation
was hardly encouraging. Mahone held the far bank and Heth was
approaching from below. Hancock's expedition was running into serious
By 10:00 A.M., Grant realized that he had misapprehended Lee's
dispositions. The Confederates were not shifting east as he had thought.
It was apparent, however, that Lee had shifted troops to attack Hancock,
and Grant's best guess was that they had come from Laurel Hill. Acting
on that assumption, Grant formulated a new plan. Hancock was to withdraw
from the Po and leave a single division behind to distract Lee. The rest
of the army was to attack across Lee's formation at 5:00 P.M. As Grant
saw it, a coordinated assault was bound to find Lee's weak point.
Hancock withdrew from the Po and began forming on Warren's right
flank. A single Union divisionBarlow'sremained below the Po
to mislead Lee into believing that Grant still meant to attack there.
Around two in the afternoon, Heth's lead elements broke into the fields
around Waite's Shop. Jubal Early had come along and was in a fighting
mood. While Barlow's men hunkered behind makeshift entrenchments along
Shady Grove Church Road, Heth's men shifted into a battle line and
charged with high-pitched screams. "The combat now became close and
bloody," Hancock observed. "The rebs came up yelling as if they'd got a
special license to thresh us," a Federal soldier recounted.
Barlow resisted bravely but found himself in an impossible situation
as Rebel artillery from across the Po lobbed shells into his men and the
surrounding woods caught fire. "Many of the gallant wounded perished in
the flames," Hancock explained. Step by step. Barlow's survivors
funneled through a mile-long clearing back to the Po. It was a deadly
gauntlet"flames were crackling and roaring," a soldier recounted,
and shells exploded all aroundbut most of the division managed to
escape. The last troopssoldiers from Brigadier General Nelson A.
Miles's brigadescurried over the remaining pontoon bridge. Union
engineers cut the ropes holding the span and watched it drift to the
Po's northern bank.
The Battle of the Po, as Barlow's and Heth's fight came to be called,
was a bloody little affair. Early congratulated Heth and later claimed
that the operation "relieved us from a very threatening danger, as the
position the enemy had attained would have enabled him to completely
enfilade [Anderson's] position and get possession of the line of our
communications to the rear." Hancock congratulated Barlow for
extricating his soldiers from a difficult situation. "Not a regiment
gave way for a moment in the critical movement," he wrote. "The
Confederates did not hasten the pace by anything they did; our troops
retired just when and as they were directed."
Grant's handling of the Po operation was severely criticized. By
starting the maneuver late in the day, he denied Hancock opportunity to
complete the ruse before the Confederates had time to respond. A rebel
artillery commander later remarked that "it was a great, an immense
piece of luck for us that Hancock had made his move across the Po late
in the afternoon, giving us the night to make preparations to meet

Ohio cornerback Tamani Carter is starting to see his recruitment take shape, although a decision is not close.
Carter recently took a visit to Iowa and enjoyed it. The Hawkeyes are considered to be one of the favorites, but will have to wait for Carter to take at least two more visits.
He will also visit Minnesota and Arizona, with the Wildcats seemingly being in good shape.
Arizona was one of the first schools to offer Carter and he has established a solid relationship with Tim Kish.
There is a good chance the visit will come in September and we will keep you updated on an exact date.

The 360 Avatar is a Machinima series made by Danz, it was one of his first machinimas. The series involves his avatar from the Xbox 360 doing impressions or improvisations based on outfits or indie games.
The series started strong with Danz making fun of or playing with outfits available for the Xbox avatar. It was well received and he continued until 2009 when Dan stated that he will make new episodes when he got a Kinect. He did get a Kinect, but during the Creature Stream, one milestone was a new episode for The 360 Avatar. After that, Danz said he will do it again when he goes to the Creature House.
On October 17, 2013 In an update Dan revealed he would be making a finale for the 360 Avatar, with a planned release date in November or December 2013. He wants to give a "good send off" since it basically started his YouTube career and success. However, if there is an avatar for Xbox One, he will start a spinoff Machinima series for it.
- Danz pointed out that there are two versions of Bioshock 2 in the marketplace a year ago, and it was never fixed.

Normally AJAX requests, those responding true to request.xhr? in rails, are forgery whitelisted. But sometimes, and under what conditions I am not sure, AJAX methods are subjected to forgery protection. Maybe you have the ActionDispatch::Request#forgery_whitelisted? overridden to not include AJAX requests? Either way and for whatever reason

Stable unemployment
There were 89 000 unemployed persons in June, corresponding to 3.3 per cent of the labour force.

|In per cent of the population
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) shows that the seasonally-adjusted unemployment was 3.3 per cent of the labour force in June (average of May–July). This was down 0.1 percentage points – or 2 000 persons – from March (average of February–April); a change which is within the LFS error margin . By comparison, the number of people registered as unemployed or on government initiatives to promote employment with the Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) decreased by 1 000 during this period. This figure is also seasonally adjusted and based on a three-month average.
Stable employment
According to the LFS, there were 8 000 more employed persons in June than in March, adjusted for seasonal variations. This increase is within the error margin, but still in line with the development last year. From June 2013 to June 2014, the number of employed persons increased by 29 000.The share of employed persons corresponded to 68.6 per cent of the population aged 15-74 years in June 2014; unchanged for March.
Unemployment down in the USA
Unemployment in the USA was 6.1 per cent in June – down 0.6 percentage points from March. In the same period, unemployment was unchanged in Denmark and Sweden, at 6.5 and 8 per cent respectively. In the EU15 , the unemployment rate was 10.5 per cent in June – down from 10.6 per cent in March.
Additional information
Some of the figures from the labour force survey are available as open data with API.
In order to reduce uncertainty, the published series are three-month moving averages of the seasonally-adjusted figures. The purpose of making seasonal adjustments is to describe the development over the last year, corrected for seasonal variations.

Party wants to better serve the people of Wales democratically, culturally, economically and linguistically
The Party of Wales has published its vision for the future of Welsh broadcasting and has made the case for the devolution of powers over broadcasting to the National Assembly for Wales in order to deliver more accountability.
The party's Shadow Minister for Broadcasting Simon Thomas said that devolving the powers is an important economic step to take as well as delivering more accountability and responsibility.
The Party of Wales has today launched a paper that outlines why a Welsh Government should take control of these powers.
You can download the paper here.
Mr Thomas said that the future of broadcasting is currently being threatened by a number of factors, including cuts to budgets, job losses and a loss of services. The paper states that devolved these powers would ensure that the people of Wales are better served democratically, culturally, economically and linguistically.
The Party of Wales Shadow Minister for Broadcasting Simon Thomas said:
"In Wales, we have a strong and dynamic broadcast industry, but that has come under threat. Due to budget cuts, service cuts, and job cuts, there is a real danger that the media that services and defines the people of Wales is weakening. This is both an economic threat and a cultural one.
"Devolving these powers would help us protect it. By giving the Welsh Government responsibility over broadcast policy, we can give broadcasters long-term security for their budgets, which creates a more stable economic future for them, and for investors who may be considering coming to Wales.
"There are also important considerations about procurement. A company that provides services that are focused on Wales, or perhaps in Welsh, is much more likely to be based in Wales.
"Ultimately, we can make sure that we have a service that meets the needs of the people of Wales, and better serves them democratically, culturally, economically and linguistically."
The Party of Wales spokesperson on Broadcasting Bethan Jenkins said:
"Devolving these powers will mean that a Welsh Government will be able to protect this important industry that employs thousands of people in every part of Wales.
"Plaid Cymru firmly believes that these powers are better placed in the hands of the people of Wales, and we have made this clear in our submission to the second part of the Silk Commission."

I have been working at PruittHealth full-time for more than a yearPros
Coworkers, close to home, cafe, awesome supervisorCons
If you are not Clinical not much room for growth, horrible pay & benefitsAdvice to ManagementAdvice
I have never seen a company so top heavy. Titles mean a lot at Pruitt. Learn how to motivate & retain. You are losing so much due to a high turnaround rate. Extremely high. Seems you are now scraping the bottom of the barrel for nurses because the reputation of Pruitt in the community is tarnished. The pay is horrible. So many end up turning down the job due to the high cost of benefits. Most of the staff cannot afford the benefits, for a family medical insurance will cost roughly $11,000 a year, imagine that for someone whose salary is less than $40,000. My advice you have too many in leadership that either don't have a degree or they got their degree so long ago their style is outdated. Most companies today seek young/fresh talent to move in the direction it need to. Stop hiring friends, sons, daughters that don't know anything. Tenet is a joke. We stand there read from the paper & that's it. Never a discussion. We might as well read it from our desk. Mr. Pruitt so many feel you don't care, it really shows. I'm afraid after reading the comments that I've you will soon have a harder time hiring & retaining. Boy what do your competitors think about this. I would be ashamed that such comments are made about a company that has been around over 20 years & you still can't get good employee satisfaction scores. Think about it.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Hey microblogging website, what's shakin? We hear you're still having arguments over whether trans people exist and complaining about anyone who has fun. All is well.
We've mostly been REALLY BORED since we quit tumblr!!! We're trying to develop a hobby to replace it, but when we say "develop a hobby" we probably mean we're going to beat all our old video games again and get back into writing nightmareporn with our girlfriend. We still get emails whenever someone sends this account an ask, so we can get Simon to answer them if it's something urgent.
The question we get the most is "oh no what happened is he doing okay". Here is HOW OKAY WE ARE DOING:
Our grandma sent us $200 [in gift cards, unfortunately, so short of selling them on Craigslist there's no way to put the money in our savings] and put our new name on the envelopes!!!!!!! She apparently doesn't hate us like we thought she did. She's always telling us to be more mature so we immediately went out and bought ten pounds of sweets. This is about five pounds of M&Ms, four of Reese's Pieces and a sixteen-ounce chocolate rum cake. ["Disgusting." -Mom] That was $50. The internet is a really magical place.We really miss a lot of you!!!!!!! Especially Rabbi T. Hugshog and Daphid and Ney and Charley and Jenna and Karkles and Kenneth and Fef and a bunch of other people that we aren't mentioning either because we forgot or you have us added somewhere or you're so cool that we're afraid we're going to embarrass you by putting your name on our blog. Again, you can always contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We're really bad at actually answering our e-mail and if you're asking for advice you're probably in the wrong place but feel free to say hi anyway!
Anyway, this is the last "status update" we hope to make, so you can feel free to unfollow this blog unless you have a question, in which case get in there and ask it. Simon has the reins so beware of adventurequest posting.
p.s. COME PLAY NEOPETS WITH US, our username is stripe.
rebloggin' here as per denz's request, rip denzel killed by really good sweets which i'm really jealous of.
Fue algo como esto:
Y al ver esto:
fue algo como asi:.
gif trains, glee, and spanish, my fav things
denzel isn't here anymore the pw is changed as per his request
now we resume your regularly scheduled awful blogging trying to get all these followers to leave *>*
