There shall be a single faculty appeal board which will serve all University of Washington campuses. The faculty appeal board shall be composed of at least seven members of the faculty to be appointed by the chair of the faculty senate after consultation with the faculty council on student affairs, to include one faculty member from each of the University of Washington Bothell and Tacoma campuses. The chair of the faculty senate shall appoint one of the members to be the chair of the faculty appeal board. The faculty appeal board shall conduct either administrative reviews or formal hearings and the procedures to be used shall depend on the nature of the appeal before the board. Cases may be heard by the entire board or by panels of no fewer than three board members.
(1) The faculty appeal board may conduct an administrative review when exceptional circumstances do not exist or a student has not requested a formal hearing in writing.
(2) The procedures for conducting such administrative review are set forth in WAC
. The chair shall maintain a record of all administrative reviews conducted by the faculty appeal board. At a minimum, such a record shall include all documents that were considered by the board and may include an audio recording of all testimony and all other documents related to the review.
(3) The faculty appeal board shall conduct a formal hearing when:
(a) The respondent, and in a case involving an allegation of sexual misconduct, a complainant, requests a formal hearing before the faculty appeal board in writing setting forth the exceptional circumstances that exist (see below); and
(b) The chair reviews the student's written request and determines that exceptional circumstances do exist. Additionally, the faculty appeal board may conduct a formal hearing in other circumstances as the board deems appropriate. If the faculty appeal board does not conduct a formal hearing, it shall conduct an administrative review of the prior decision.
(i) Exceptional circumstances exist when:
(A) The sanction of dismissal has been recommended; or
(B) The respondent has been charged with hazing; or
(C) The sanction of restitution (in excess of three hundred dollars) has been recommended; or

(ii) If the faculty appeal board decides not to grant a written request for a formal hearing, the chair shall provide the parties with a written copy of the board's decision denying the request for a formal hearing within ninety days as specified in WAC
(c) The faculty appeal board shall also conduct a formal hearing as provided in the supplemental provisions set forth in WAC
for cases involving an allegation of sexual misconduct.
(4) If a matter is referred directly to the faculty appeal board and there is no initial order, then the faculty appeal board shall determine whether exceptional circumstances exist or could exist. If exceptional circumstances exist or could exist, then the board shall notify the respondent and in any case involving an allegation of sexual misconduct, the complainant, in writing that he or she has twenty-one days from the date of service of the notice to request a formal hearing. If no such request is made, any right to a formal hearing is waived.
(5) Formal hearings conducted by the faculty appeal board shall be according to the procedural guidelines set forth in WAC
and chapter
(a) At the conclusion of the formal hearing, the faculty appeal board shall enter an initial order based on the findings of that hearing. That initial order shall include a written statement of the board's decision and the basis for that decision, including procedures for appealing the decision to the president or president's delegate. The initial order shall be provided to the parties within sixty days of the conclusion of the hearing unless the faculty appeal board determines that an extension of time (which shall not exceed thirty additional days) is warranted and informs the parties of such extension. In a case involving an allegation of sexual misconduct, both the respondent and the complainant shall be informed of the board's decision. In a case where the respondent is a minor, the board's decision may be reported to the respondent's parents or legal guardian at the discretion of the conduct officer.
(b) An initial order from a formal hearing may be appealed to the president of the university or the president's delegate for a final review.
(c) If no appeal is timely submitted, the initial order of the faculty appeal board shall become the final order, except that orders of dismissal entered by the faculty appeal board shall be reviewed by the president or the president's delegate in accordance with WAC
(6) The record in cases in which the faculty appeal board conducts a formal hearing shall be as specified in WAC
(7) Board members may be disqualified from a particular formal hearing for bias, prejudice, conflict of interest, or any other reason which may prevent them from serving as impartial judges of the matter before the board.
(a) A committee member may excuse himself or herself for any of the causes set forth in this section by submitting a written statement to the board chair stating facts and reasons for the disqualification.
(b) A student before the faculty appeal board may challenge the impartiality of a board member by written petition. The chair shall determine whether to grant the petition and excuse the board member, stating the facts and reasons for the determination in writing.
(c) Faculty who have been delegated the authority to initiate disciplinary proceedings are disqualified from serving as members of the faculty appeal board.
(8) At the discretion of the chair, board members may be excused from a particular hearing on the basis of compelling personal need after submitting a written request to the chair explaining the basis of the request.

Is paying for votes really a bad thing?
Vote buying is a recurring theme in elections in 'emerging democracies'. There are strong allegations it happened in the 2006 and 2012 Mexican elections. US elections normally have some party accusing the other of vote-buying (through offering free food at election stations). You get stories on vote-buying from around the world though, ranging from Uganda to Bulgaria.
A colleague explained to me what 'best-practice' is in term of vote-buying: you give a voter one half of a bank note and give him a pre-filled ballot paper that includes a vote for a particular party. The voter would then get the other half of the bank-note in return for an empty ballot paper from the polling station. It's an ingenious way of paying for a vote that involves a level of mutual monitoring of the deal. Not quite fail-safe because of course the voter could simply invalidate or change the pre-filled ballot paper whilst still collecting the bribe, but most likely the system is quite effective in reality.
Let's think about the economics of this though: is it actually so bad if political parties would be able to outright buy the votes of the electorate in an open competition wherein they approach individuals with offers of bribes and a voter picks the one offering the most? I will of course end up objecting to vote-buying, but it is nevertheless handy to go through the normal economic train of thought to identify what it is in reality that makes vote-buying a bad thing.
If we look at this from our mythical rational economic man perspective, the surprising answer in a one-shot game is 'no, it is not bad at all. In fact it is optimal and highly egalitarian'. Consider why: when political parties vie for voters by means of direct payment, the political party that wins is the one with the greatest purchasing power. In turn, in fully operational markets, the party with the best overall policy plans for increasing the size of the future economy (the tax-base) would be able to borrow the most on international financial markets, ensuring that it is the party with the best policies that wins in a 'vote for sale system'.
Indeed, with otherwise entirely uninformed voters versus perfectly informed markets, buying votes is an efficient way of generating a believable signal to uninformed voters about what the best party is to vote for! And the 'one man one vote' aspect of elections means that the entire available surplus in an economy would be handed out equally to all voters, a highly egalitarian outcome! Hence paying for votes is not just optimal in the fully rational one-shot case, but also can help to overcome the issue of relatively uninformed voters facing better-informed politicians and markets. There is much to recommend it from a simplistic economic egalitarian point of view.
With this 'rational economic' benchmark in mind, we can start to talk more clearly about the importance of background factors in whether or not paying for votes is bad in reality.
One objection one might raise to the 'buying votes is optimal' story is the question of the limits to future government policies and the limits to the ability of voters to hide their election bribe. If an elected government is capable of immediately taking back any election bribe in full, then of course the election market would break down and paying-for-votes would only serve to scam the gullible off their electoral rights. This argument really turns on a subtlety though: whilst there is surely an element of recouping, lump-sum payments such as election bribes cannot be easily traced and thus recouped (the rational voter would cash in the banknote and buy foreign assets with it if fearing later dispossession). In a rational setting, limited recouping would simply feed back into a higher original election bribe, so as long as full recouping is not possible one should view the effective transfer as being inalienable and limited recouping as irrelevant to the main argument!
Another objection one can make comes if we consider a repeated game rather than a one-shot game; in the repeated game there is an inherent inability of a political party to commit to anything beyond the next election date, implying that from a pure investment point of view, all returns should be monetised within a single electoral cycle. But this runs into both national and international legal constraints: with the outlawing of slavery and child-labour contracts, it became impossible to commit a young person now to paying taxes in the far future as recompense for health and education services received now. The ability to have such long-deferred payment systems means that one-shot governments cannot fully monetise the value of various investments they might make in a population (like infrastructure and education), which in turn limits the degree to which they can borrow to pay the bribes. One hence gets a degree of myopia in decision making that focuses on the short-run at the expense of the long-run.
From a theoretical point of view the real issue with the repeated election game is that one cannot bribe a voter for the whole future stream of his or her election choices! As soon as one envisages such a 'life-time electoral bribe' possibility though, one would once again be in the optimal scenario with paying-for-votes.
A more serious objection is that vote-buying is likely to be an asymmetric market in the sense that not all political parties get access to the opportunity to buy votes. A political party with greater clout on the ground might thus use that advantage to ensure it is the only local party to be able to buy votes, effectively cashing in on local muscle. This would undermine the operation of an open vote-buying market and thus lead to potential distortions. It is undoubtedly an important component of vote-buying in the real world.
Yet again, from a 'deeper perspective' you could argue that an importance of 'local muscle' simply means that the necessary pre-conditions for true democracy have not been met, ie an absence of the threat of violence between political parties. Even more fundamentally, one can see the ability to organise local muscle as evidence for 'high reputation' and 'deeper pockets'. If you thus see local muscle as a direct outcome of the ability of a party to access resources, which in a functioning financial system means better able to borrow against future income streams because it has the better policies, then even local muscle would be 'for sale' and thus get sold to the party with the best policies. One then gets less egalitarian distributions, effectively because the providers of local protection 'tax' a part of the vote-bribe, but one could still get optimal policies.
A final objection one can raise is that of pre-commitment: implicit in the rational-voting model briefly sketched above is that parties can pre-commit to markets on future policies via which they can recoup the investment made in vote-buying. In reality that pre-commitment is limited to the reputational value of an existing party, i.e. the amount of reputation it stands to lose from reneging on a loan. This reputational value itself depends on internal party cohesion and the ability to make good on implicit dynamic promises to party bosses and workers, ie on complicated group dynamics within political parties. Whilst such things are normally not considered in economic models, it brings the question to the fore whether monetisation of electoral relations via election bribes would have adverse effects on that internal cohesion.
Much like friends don't pay each other for a meal or a good conversation lest their friendship becomes cold and of less social value, so too will political parties where all relations are monetised lose internal social identity: they will lose the ability to appeal to group ideals and must then base all relations on an open economic accounting. The inability to generate and maintain idealism is serious business to any large group, particularly in better run countries, and one of the main reasons you don't see full monetisation of relations in any large organisation in the West.
In short, though it may sound intuitively reprehensible, from a mainstream rational economic perspective there is much to like about political parties competing with each other by means of direct offered payments to voters in return for votes. The main counter-arguments come from the murky issues of 'loss of idealism' and 'adverse effects of monetisation of group relations'. To understand those matters and thus the real reasons why our societies frown upon paying for votes, you of course have to read my book on groups, ideals, and other such matters!

Paul Frijters, are you imagining a scenario where a successful political party is able to use government tax revenues as its own private money to pay off its lenders, an uber-corrupt situation in which you might as well abandon any hope of holding competitive markets in vote buying anyway?
And doesn't the money for vote buying in real-life cases actually come from party donations? The objection here is that political donations reflect attempts by special interests to achieve policy outcomes that are favourable to them. If that's the case, there's no reason to think that vote buying creates an efficient outcome.
And I think that, even in your scenario in which political parties can steal government revenues, they don't actually have an incentive to maximise the welfare of citizens. GDP is not welfare. Consider the case where there is one factor of production, labour, one output, widgets, and voters are completely ignorant. What would a clever politician do? He or she would go to the international capital markets and say: "In my country, the workers currently choose to work 8 hours a day, and over the course of a year produce 100 widgets. But they can easily be forced to work 16 hours a day, and produce 200 widgets. Lend me some widgets with which to bribe them to vote for me, and when I get into power I'll make them work 16 hours a day, confiscate all the widgets they produce and pay you back handsomely."
I don't think we need to resort to "murky issues" to see why vote buying is a bad idea.
Hi Luke,
Your welfare-versus-production point is important, but hinges on subtleties. Let's think them through.
I was indeed initially thinking of a welfare=production world where there is no tradeoff, but the basic argument does carry over. Think first of an open economy model in which people can walk away and be a citizen elsewhere (full markets). That mobility option then means you will in fact get welfare maximisation. This is the old Tiebout argument that competition for citizens will produce the optimal local mix of taxes and benefits.
In a closed economy and a divergence between welfare and production however, you will still get welfare maximisation as soon as voters are informed because they will then not take the bribe of the party offering the most since they need to be compensated for the lower welfare due to worse policies later. The argument is then quite subtle though because the incorporation of that welfare loss in individual voting only holds for the pivotal voter since the non-pivotal voter free-rides. This means that you'd need sophisticated voters who'd play a mixing strategy such that all voters in equilibrium are the pivotal voters (ie none would optimally diverge from that mixing).
So your problem holds only in the non-mobile, non-sophisticated voter case. Its a valid case, for sure.
You 'but stealing is immoral' argument is of course an example of idealism in action: within a true democratic set-up what the winning party does by design cannot be stealing because it gets to decide what is legal and what is not. There is of course also no need to go via party funds anyway: the bribes can run via intermediaries and the later policies can thus include payments to those benefactors. Indeed some people look at lobbying and donations in the US today in exactly that way!
Paying for votes is common in the Philippines and Thailand. The Thai PM at the time of the East Asia crisis was a rural politician with the nickname ATM.
Politicians are corrupt partly because developing country politics is retail: helping people with small loans, mediating disputes and getting children into better schools or universities. Japan is similar in that LDP politicians have personal support networks based on giving and receiving personal favours.
My mother in law declined to run for barrio captain because there would be too many people coming to the door of her house at night to ask for help or to arbitrate disputes.
Bloc voting by clans is common in PNG based on who is the highest bidder.
Robert Tollison wrote a paper on the price of votes and the history of open vote trading in Great Britain and the United States prior to the 20th century at http://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/cato-journal/2011/9/cj8n1-4.pdf
Until the Sale of Offices Act 1809, House of Commons seats were freehold property you could buy or rent. After 1809, you had to pay even more because the few that voted had to be bribed to vote for you.
The winners of secret ballots were the middle class because the working class could no longer sell their votes to the rich. The Thai and Pinoy middle class hate the way the votes of the rural poor can be bought with bribes and public services paid by taxing the cities.
"The winners of secret ballots were the middle class because the working class could no longer sell their votes to the rich. The Thai and Pinoy middle class hate the way the votes of the rural poor can be bought with bribes and public services paid by taxing the cities."
That is fascinating and very nice illustrations of the economic mechanisms talked about in the post.
The idea of middle classes irate that the poor are getting something concrete for their votes raises the obvious question of why they don't pool their resources in a single party and simply offer the poor more than the rich? Can I presume from the fact that this does not occur that the problem is that the combined middle class in Thailand/Pinoy cannot compete with the rich in terms of combined monetary might? Or are they rich enough in principle/potential, but cannot organise themselves effectively on a monetary basis?
thanks, Thaksin Shinawatra and Erap both were popular with the working class but loathed by the urban middle class and rivals within the elite as corrupt.
The red shirts get 200 baht a day to protest; 500 baht for gunmen. They are bussed in from the farms were they earn less. No one volunteers to work for political parties.
Until now, the president-elect and his party have been more focused on the vote count, and not on the allegations of vote-buying and coercion.

Ben was an elderly, scruffy nightwatchman who was hired to keep an eye on some roadworks in the Street, not so much because of vandalism but because of the danger a large hole presented to residents and traffic.
During a small but boisterous party at No. 3, the wheelchair-bound Ray Langton persuaded Sandra Butler to steal one of the red lamps that were around the hole. She did so and Annie Walker, returning from a visit, fell in. Furious, covered in mud, and getting little sympathy for her plight from the regulars at the Rovers, she started a campaign of complaining to the council about Ben's dereliction of duty. Ben swore that the works were properly lit all the time and Cyril Turpin, investigating the matter, deduced who the real culprits were. Annie dropped her complaints and tried to be friendly to Ben but he snubbed her approaches, preferring to talk with fellow First World War veteran Albert Tatlock.

A/N Hi guys! I'm back with a new WIP. Its been a while but I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty again, and bringing the boys to life so to speak.
First: I would like to thank the awesomeness that is my pre readers.
Lets start with Yulliah Meghan author of A Twin Thing: Thanks for always being there willing and able to kick my butt into gear. And when I feel like I can't continue and want to throw in the towel kicking me some more. I will be forever grateful.
The amazing Prassacut author of Roads: I know you are not feeling 100% at the moment. But please know you are always in our thoughts and we miss you. I love you babe.
And new to the team James Black: Thank you sweetie, for taking the time to patiently read over my not so pretty rough draft. your eagerness to share your thoughts and feelings will always be appreciated.
And last but never least, my wonderful beta Deβra Anne who painstakingly and patiently corrects my mess in hopes of keeping me readable, so you guys keep coming back, babe you rock my world.
All thats left to say now, is please enjoy.
Sighing deeply, I place my bags on the porch by my feet. Bringing a shaking hand up, I put my new, freshly cut key in the lock, chanting silently to myself. 'You can do this! You know you can do this! You can... Right?'
And with a deep, nervous breath, I let my fingers slowly turn, sucking in an anxious hitch of air, when my eager ears hear the click. Then, for the first time in ten years, for the first time in a fucking long ten years, I take a shaky step across the threshold of my very own place.
Carrying my bags straight upstairs to the master bedroom, I place them in the back of the closet, doing my best to keep them out of the way, knowing I'll have time later to unpack them, along with the rest of the boxes, once the movers have finished bringing in the furniture. 'Shouldn't take them long though; not like I left with much. There's only so much you can do when you have but a small window of time to work with.'
Turning with my hands contentedly on my hips, I scan the area. peeking out the dusty bedroom window onto the backyard. The view causes my smile to grow wide. It's a small, cozy house that backs up to the woods, with a nice little garden out front. I dream of long hikes and planting flowers, something I'm hoping will keep me occupied and busy during the lazy summer afternoons. But seriously, I couldn't care less if it was nothing more than a cardboard box, just the thought of it being mine and mine alone makes me giddy.
But this small town secluded living will take some getting used to, I'm sure. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I'm up and prepared for a good challenge, no matter what. It's just that I'm a city boy at heart – well, that's what I thought, personally – loving the hustle and bustle of the bright lights, city streets and night life, always feeling the need to surround myself with people and noise. My eyes fall shut when heavy thoughts suddenly try to drown me, making me cringe, having to swallow hard the nervous bile now gathering in the back of my throat, knowing fine rightly why I needed it all, and how much it didn't fucking work.
My body shudders slightly when my weakness tries to return, and I feel myself start to slowly hyperventilate. Quickly bringing a shaky hand up, I press my fingertips roughly onto the side of my head, frantically massaging my temple as the dark, dismal memories do their best to consume me and flash within my brain, silently having to chant to myself 'You can do this! You can do this! You know you can.'
Taking a sharp, deep breath, steadying my nerves, I eagerly remind myself, 'It's time for a change, damn it! It's time for a new beginning.' Wanting and longing, for the first time in what feels like forever, to feel empowered, and even somewhat in charge of my own life and destiny, I decided months ago to grab this opportunity when offered to me by the balls, and run with it.
I jump nervously and a small, choked yelp releases from my chest. I have to steady myself and wipe my brow with a shaky hand, as my eyes dart panic-stricken around the room, wary of the strange noise. Then as a small, anxious giggle dances in my throat, and I'm able to get my breathing back under control, slowing my pounding heart, I realize it was nothing more than the doorbell echoing throughout the empty walls. I hear it ring loudly once more.
Running my fingers through my hair, I glance at my watch and excitedly whisper, "Fuck! They're a little earlier than I expected, but hey, I'll take early over late any day."
Looking over my shoulder as I back out of the room, grabbing the door handle and pulling it tight behind me, I'm brought up short and I stop abruptly. My eyes fall to my fingers folded around the knob, as my belly cramps then flips and my palm starts to stickily sweat. Then forcing myself to stand a little straighter, drawing a deep breath nervously into my lungs, I slowly feel myself start to grin, and instead of shutting it tight like I knew I should, pulling it closed, just the way I'd been taught, I let my palm fall flush with the wood and gleefully push it back open.
'Cause you can do this, you know you can.'
I excitedly make my way two steps at a time to the front door, yelling out in my loudest voice possible, hoping they can hear me. "Coming, guys! Hold on please! I'm coming! I'll be right there!"
Eagerly pulling the door open, the force of my action causes the wind to catch my unruly hair and makes it messily fall in my face. It startles me at first, making me chuckle to myself then laugh heartily. My breath hitches and I have to take a step to steady myself when the strange sound echoes in my ears, I feel my brow frown in confusion and my head becomes a little light, when I realize how foreign the sound really is to me, and how long it's actually been since I'd made it. With no time to give it much thought. and doing my best to desperately shake it off. I unknowingly say. "Come on in. boys. The boxes should be labeled properly, so it shouldn't be that hard. Living room to your left, dining room right, kitchen straight ahead, and everything for the bedrooms and bathroom can go upstairs."
Holding the door open and standing back, I wait. Then tapping my foot impatiently, I find myself waiting some more, truthfully expecting all hell to break loose when these burly, huge sweaty men unenthusiastically take over the run of my new little home for at least the next hour. But as I'm taking the time to hold the door and run my fingers through my hair, trying to make myself somewhat presentable, my eyes dart in confusion and frustration when I hear and see nothing go by.
Pulling on the door a little more abruptly, I unwillingly let my confusion be known. "Huh? What the hell? Guys?"
And when I notice it's not the movers, it dawns on me that it's not a herd of burly, sweaty men about to run rampant over my newly polished hardwood floors. I feel my face start to flush and my eyes blur with embarrassment when it falls upon people! Well, I think they're people, having to mentally kick myself. 'Edward, you're a total tool, of course they're people.' I'm unable to hold at bay my own grin when five sets of perfect pearly whites smile widely back at me.
My eyes dart curiously and frantically between all five, trying my best to take them in. 'Fuck! They're all so good looking, I'm so fucking doomed if this is the criteria to live in this sleepy little town.' The awkwardness of the moment causes me to self consciously run my fingers though my unruly hair again. Then the swift movement of what looks like the youngest guy's hand coming in contact with his mouth when he softly coughs nervously, draws me to him. I watch, bewildered, as a confused and worried look crosses his youthful, handsome face, seconds before my attention is caught when the oldest, but still young looking, female steps forward. "Mr. Mason?" Meeting her haunting amber eyes, I gently nod. "Please forgive our intrusion, we heard a rumor that you would be arriving today. I hope we aren't disturbing you or getting in the way, but we just felt the need to be one of the first to welcome you properly to our friendly little town."
I watch as the eldest guy walks forward, folding an arm gently around the woman's small waist, and I let myself step out to meet his outstretched hand before he speaks. "Mr. Mason, we are the Cullen family. I'm Carlisle Cullen, chief of staff at our small local hospital. And this beautiful woman is my wife Esme." Glancing in her direction again, I find I'm unable to do anything other than smile at the very attractive auburn haired lady, as she returns mine with a wide beaming one of her own. They both move fluently to the side, letting the others take center stage, but still Carlisle's voice rings in my ears. "This little one..." I chuckle as the spiky-haired girl shoots him a look. He coughs, trying to disguise his own amusement before he continues. "Well this would be our youngest, Alice. She attends the local college." And as she eagerly grabs my fingers, I chuckle hard, realizing how much of a handful she really is as she bounces excitedly on her toes.
She takes being introduced as her cue to take charge, and excitedly pulls the other girl to the forefront. My brows frown as I hear the attractive blond disgustedly huff. "And this would be Rosalie, but you can call her Rose, we all do. She's a nurse at the same hospital as our Dad, Carlisle." Reaching my hand a little over Alice's head, I weakly shake her fingertips and give a quick nod in the somewhat bored-looking Rose's direction.
But before I can even catch my breath or give myself a second to think, Alice pulls the blond haired guy from earlier straight into my line of sight. I find I'm unable to meet his gaze, my eyes finding interest in the shiny buttons of his jacket, as Alice once more speaks up. "And this! This would be Jasper, my big brother. He teaches history at the high school; that's how we came to find out about you first." Looking up, I see Jasper's eyes dart, annoyed, to Alice as he whispers through gritted teeth "Alice please." But not seeming to be one to back down she grants him a pointed stare before inquiring. "What? Its true! Isn't it?" And as I watch on amused, he pushes her away gingerly with his hip before elegantly holding out his hand for me to take.
I jump slightly when his cold palm comes in contact fully with mine, then relax a little when his smooth voice softly washes over me. "Please Mr. Mason, pay my little sister no mind. She is the spitfire of the family, and we do our best to ignore her. But she is right about one thing, I found out about your arrival though the school; that I can't deny. It's a small town, and not much changes here, so when you hear a new biology teacher will be arriving soon, it kinda piques your interest, so to speak. So please, if you can, do your best to ignore my baby sister's rudeness."
With my hand still wrapped in his, I answer, "No apologies necessary, Mr. Cullen, I understand, believe me I do." And as his amber eyes – just like his mother's, father's and, oddly enough, both his siblings – grow bright, causing my eyebrows to raise questioningly when I notice a quick emotion flash in them before he catches himself and answers, "Jasper, Mr. Mason. Please, just call me Jasper."
Still feeling the slight chill run through my hand and up my arm, I give a small smile, and as my eyes fall upon each one of them, I quietly say, "The name's Edward Mason, but please feel free to just call me Edward!"
It's early evening before I get the chance to plop myself down at my very own kitchen table. Even though I feel quite overwhelmed and exhausted, I don't think I could be or have been any happier. Esme Cullen's wide, enchanting smile flashes in my head as I hungrily dig into the welcoming bounty she had so kindly prepared and brought for me. And the movers, though huge, sweaty and burly, had worked quickly, surprising me with their swiftness and successfully managing not to damage my newly polished hardwood floors in the process, were done in record time, having left ages ago.
And although the Cullens were long gone, my head still spins like a whirlwind and my thoughts seem determined to keep them for a while, drifting from time to time to each and every one of their handsome faces, finding them intriguing and mysterious, my imagination having been captivated by their not so subtle beauty and quiet, soothing demeanor.
But once I've cleaned and cleared the dishes and put the extra food away, I eagerly make myself a list to take to market the next day. I take special care repacking Esme's picnic basket, in the hopes of having the chance to return it at some point, not that I would need an excuse, or for that matter to lie, just to see them again; they had made themselves quite clear when they eagerly exchanged phone numbers and painstakingly pointed out the direction to their property from my own. So having surprised myself on how quickly I made new friends, realizing my move might not be that bad after all, and a little easier to bear, I tiredly make my way up the stairs, opening every room door as I go, running my shaky fingers over the window locks and rechecking the front and back bolts at least twice.
My ears buzz with the silence of this place, my mind racing with the ability to finally have and keep a single thought that is all mine, and mine alone. Reaching the top of the stairs, before I enter my room, I give myself a second to take it all in and breathe. I find myself chanting once more, 'You can do this, Edward! You know you can.'
"EDWARD!" My ears hum from the high pitched squeal bouncing off the minimally decorated walls, as I walk quickly down the cold stark hallway in its direction. Opening the door and entering the kitchen, I freeze in the door frame. The sight of him causes me to swallow hard. I don't have to see his expression or look into his cold, dark eyes to know he's already pissed at me. I watch warily as his angry back muscles contract and crawl under his overly-starched, well-tailored dress shirt, and his collar tightens when the back of his neck expands and turns red in rage.
I know he knows I'm here. He always knows I'm here. Why? Cause he fucking knows everything. Letting my watery eyes fall shut when I feel the bile gather at the back of my nervous throat, trying my best to control my overzealous heartbeat, I listen to him sigh disgustedly. Then coolly and calmly, he straightens himself to his full height. He doesn't turn or make a move to acknowledge I'm even in the room. Cause really! He doesn't have to. He already knows. Why? Cause he always fucking knows.
Then slowly, my fevered skin starts to crawl and every little hair on the back of my neck stands at attention when his oh-so-familiar sarcastic deep monotone voice rolls effortlessly off his sharp tongue.
"Edward? Like really! Babe? What would be so FUCKING important that you would feel the need to leave a pot boiling on my stove? Can you tell me? Can you answer me that?"
"Crap!" My head spins, searching for the right answer, and my eyes squint and dart nervously around the cold, sterile room. It's willing, but unable, to grab at anything that would make sense right now or, for that matter, make him less irritated. I feel my form shake slightly and my palms start to sweat when my throat runs dry. God damn it! I know what I was doing, I know where I was, but fuck, is it the right answer? Am I going to say the wrong fucking thing? Like always? Again!
My head nervously pounds, searching for the right words, wondering if I should go with the truth or gamble a little more and lie. Fuck knows I've been in this position a million times before, you'd think I'd know what the fuck to say to make this right by now. But I never do, the rules always seem to change, and I always seem for some reason to get it wrong. So when you think about it, I'm damned if I do, damned it I don't, as they say. Taking a deep, anxious breath I try to softly win him over.
"I'm sorry, hon. I didn't hear you come in. I wasn't expecting you for at least another half hour." Gingerly walking towards him, I wrap my shaky arms around his chest and lean my head on his tense shoulders. "How was your day, babe? Did you have another rough one? Can I get you something? Anything? A drink perhaps?"
Then before I know it, with a move so swift I didn't see it coming, he spins abruptly and roughly grabs me by the back of the head. The steam hits my face, dampening my skin. I release a small groan when his fingers entwine in my hair, pulling on the roots tight, as I find myself being held inches from my boiling pot of spaghetti sauce. Then with his lips pressed tight against my ear, he angrily hisses through gritted teeth, "Edward... Darling… You know better than this, right? If I've taught you anything at all, I know I've taught you at least this, or is that thick skull of yours way too dense to comprehend what I'm saying?"
And as I try to keep my eyes opened and my head strains against his grip trying desperately to keep it away from the scalding sauce, I finally see what he is talking about. In the mere seconds it took me to grab the laundry and carry it to our room, my boiling pot has made a mess on his prestigiously clean, very expensive stove top. Swallowing hard, trying to catch my breath, I nervously do my best to reason with him. "Sweetie, I'm so sorry. I... I didn't mean to be gone so long. And I rea..real..really thought I'd turned the heat down so this would be prevented. Le..let me get you that dri..drink, hon. Then I'll get this cleaned up an..and we can sit and have a nice dinner. As you can see, I made your favorite, babe."
And as his grip loosens and I'm spun to face him, now bent backwards over the hot stove top, he brings his face closer to mine. I beggingly stare into his wild gaze, hoping my quivering lip grants me some mercy, unable to breathe when I feel his huge hand glide over my chest and his fingers fold around my throat. I swallow hard, and my eyes involuntarily fall shut when he sourly speaks.
"Edward! Is it really too much for you to follow a few simple rules, babe? You know I'm really an easygoing person, don't you? You know I wouldn't have to do this if you would just listen and pay me some mind. It's not hard, Edward. It doesn't take a fucking rocket scientist to comprehend a few fucking rules, now does it? That's all I ask, babe, and then life would be so much simpler. I swear, just follow the few rules I have set in place, and everyone can be happy. Do you understand, Edward! Are you listening to me?" Knowing he doesn't really want an answer or to hear my voice, I grant him a small, nervous nod.
Taking his hand from around my throat, he straightens and releases me, letting me stand upright. And as he turns slowly to walk away, I run my fingers through my wet, sticky hair, and let a long sigh of relief escape my lips. Then I jump, awkwardly releasing a small yelp, when he swings around and brings his flat palm to meet my flushed cheek. A small evil grin dawns on his face when he notices me cower and swallow hard, wiggling his eyebrows playfully before he speaks again. "See, Edward! See how easy this all is? It would all go so smoothly if you would just listen." Then leaning in, pulling me flush with his broad chest, he attacks my mouth with the utmost of vigor, his lips so tight, I'm unable to catch my breath.
Waking with a startle, I anxiously fumble for the bedside lamp. Once the room is illuminated, my eyes dart frantically around the space, my gaze searching every corner, following every shadow. Drawing a deep, long breath into my strangled lungs and nervously running my fingers through my now damp hair, I give my eyes time to adjust. My shaky hands anxiously find their way to my quivering lips, ghosting the curves of my mouth. I sigh deeply when I realize it was all just a dream, just a really bad dream.
Though my night was restless and my sleep not deep, my time spent tossing and turning with flashes of memories like old time horror movies scrambling my brain, I still wake less tense than I have in a long time, and somewhat refreshed. I softly chant my new mantra as I pull back the covers, heading for the shower, unwilling to let this day be like every other, determined to start this one anew. And with a broad smile, I find I'm ready to take on whatever it has to offer.
Casually perched on the countertop, letting my legs dangle lazily, I sip on my well-earned cup of coffee while I scan the morning paper. Proudly, I let my eyes take in my little kitchen, It's old and needs some tender loving care, and although it might not be as shiny and pristine as the one I just left, it still overwhelms me that I get to call it my own. Jumping down, turning to wash my cup in the sink, knowing it should be rinsed and put away before it's even cooled, I turn on the faucet, letting the water run warm. Quickly, I catch myself thinking, 'What the fuck's the rush, Edward? And who the hell is here to tell you any different?' And with acheesy grin, I decide to calmly just place it in the sink for later, maybe even way later. Then retrieving my note from the fridge, I give it one final glance over, checking the window locks once more and pushing every door open wider on my down the hall before I head to the store.
Rounding the corner of the cereal aisle, I freeze, listening terrified as my knuckles crack when my fingers wrap tautly around the handle of the cart, and my throat runs dry. Letting my eyelashes fall against my cheeks, I try to steady my overly-pounding heart as my body slowly starts to tremble. Unwilling or unable to open my eyes, I hold my breath as the scent tries to consume me and the aroma dances in my nostrils. The nervous pounding in my head drowns out the market's noises, wanting to explode, threatening to combust with fear.
'Fuck! It's him. I'd recognize the smell of his expensive, yet offensive, cologne anywhere. How the hell did he find me? How the fuck did he know? Oh, right! He knows everything!' Trying to breathe deeply, feeling the nervous sweat trickle under my shirt down the ridges of my back, I hear his obnoxious voice ring in my ears. "Edward! Edward!" My eyelids are heavy, refusing to cooperate and open. The fear that tone instills in me shakes me to the core. My breath hitches anxiously when I hear it again. "Edward! Edward? Are you ignoring me?" And just when it got to the point of no return, the moment I knew I could just drop everything and flee, a sudden peace washes over me and my lids flutter open. My eyes squint and my brow furrows, adjusting to the markets light's as they dart confusedly in every direction.
My cart being nudged brings me back to reality as a tall, dark-haired, well-dressed guy stretches across and in front of me, to the shelf a little beyond his reach. Turning his head, giving me a small apologetic smile, he quickly grabs a box of kids' cereal before looking, at my sure to be- bewildered gaze, confused, then saying, "Sorry, dude, in a little bit of a hurry." Shaking the box in my face, he continues, "You know what it's like. I'm sure you have kids. You can never make it home from work without a call from the wife reminding you to pick something up. Am I right?"
And as I feel myself ease and my heart and breathing become normal, I draw in a deep breath to steady myself. Nervously chuckling when I realize the offensive aroma of the expensive cologne was his, I'm able to grant him a small smile, and a sharp, understanding nod. And with a "Yup! That's what I thought," he quickly turns and leaves.
My relief is short lived, as once again, I hear my name being called, sending a cold shiver down my spine, holding my breath when I realize just how close it is this time. "Edward?" Shaking my head slightly, kicking myself when I recognize the familiar voice, smiling inwardly when it rings in my ears once more. "Edward? Mr. Mason?" Turning ever so slowly, I'm greeted with a pair of bright amber eyes and a gleaming pearly white grin.
"Wow! Mr. Cul... I mean Jasper. I'm sorry I didn't hear you call my name."
His grin grows even wider, but his eyes show concern, and focus as he replies, "Damn! I thought you were ignoring me there for a minute." Giving a deep chuckle, he continues, "Made me a little worried, to be honest. Way to give a guy an inferiority complex. Not like I haven't been calling your name or trying to get your attention for the past ten minutes."
Closing my eyes, remembering someone calling me earlier, I steady myself, continuing with a grin of my own. "I'm so sorry, I didn't hear you. And really, Jasper, I'm way too new in this town. I don't have enough friends yet to start ignoring people so soon."
Releasing a small and what sounded like a nervous laugh, he replies, "It's okay, I understand. I didn't realize you were talking to someone until it was too late."
Thinking back to the well-dressed husband with the offensive cologne, I start to chuckle. Jasper stares at me with a little amusement dancing in his eyes, enabling me to give a playful response.
"Oh, him? Yeah! We were discussing our wives and children."
He takes a small step back, his eyes squinting questionably as he asks, "You have a wife? And kids? But I thought?"
I laugh heartily at his confusion, the unfamiliar sound ringing in my ears once more, hoping to all that will listen that I never get used to hearing it and it never gets old. I reply, "Nah! No wife, no kids, no nothing." Well… at the moment, but he didn't need to know that now, did he?
And with our uplifting mood following us, Jasper escorts me around the store for the next hour. Our banter is light and carefree while we both take turns loading my cart, and he eagerly fills me in on life in this sleepy little town, with some of its weird and slightly quirky occupants, also explaining in great detail what I should expect come Monday, when I start my new job at the high school.
Only when we get to the counter and I pay for my groceries, while Jasper helps pack my bags, do I become a little confused. But before I could voice my concern, my eyes sneakily side glancing between my food, the now filled bags and Jasper's empty hands, does he speak. I swallow hard, not wanting to look rude and offend him, guessing he has noticed my perplexed stare. "Oh, I wasn't here to buy anything. I saw you through the window and came in to say hello and inquire how you were doing." And as I watch his eyes, his stare searching my face looking for something, I grant him a smile, noticing the corners of his mouth curve in response when he finds what he wants and senses me relax.
I'm busily loading the car, with Jasper's assistance, of course, when a weird sensation creeps through me, causing my skin to prickle under my shirt. I stare at him for a second, getting myself lost in thought. His willingness to help me is overwhelming. His ability to keep me at ease, truthfully, is a feeling I'm unfamiliar with, but something I've always longed and yearned for. I spent so many years feeling trapped and alone, and considering myself useless, it's nice to finally have a friend that seems to appreciate my company.
Unusually aware of what seems my every move and anxious thought, Jasper abruptly stops loading the trunk, and effortlessly takes a few steps away as he turns to face me straight on. Raising a questioning eyebrow, he inquires, "Are you all right, Edward? Is there something wrong?" Pointing a thumb over his shoulder, he continues, "I can go if I'm making you feel uncomfortable."
Staring at him, trying to understand and do my best to come to terms with how I'm feeling, I recognize uncertainty as it washes over him and tries its best to diminish his handsome looks. Uncharacteristically reaching out, I place my hand softly on his forearm. My breath nervously hitches when I'm unable to make full contact, jumping slightly when Jasper steps swiftly out of my reach. His eyes narrow, and I hear what sounds like - if I'm not mistaken - a sharp hiss release itself from under his breath.
Taken aback and a little stunned, I step to the side with what I'm sure is a look of bewilderment and confusion, as I watch Jasper squirm uncomfortably. A little disappointed in myself for causing him to feel this way, I try my best to make amends. But as I open my mouth to apologize, I'm unable to do so, cause he doesn't give me a chance. He doesn't let me explain. He urgently places the last two bags in the trunk, closing it with a loud thud, the noise dragging my eyes from him for a mere second as I watch the car's rear rattle from the force of the slam.
Then sensing emptiness around me, suddenly getting the feeling I was alone, I look up in time to see Jasper inches from his own vehicle. And as he pulls open the door and swiftly glides into its cab, he glances over his shoulder in my direction. Giving a sharp nod and an apologetic grin, he yells, "Forgot I was out to pick something up for Car… my Dad. Call me if you need anything, Edward!"
Standing stunned and confused, my eyes darting around the store's parking lot, I have to give myself a minute to comprehend what just happened. My head spun with the conversation we'd just had in the grocery store. My thoughts wandered to us loading the car, but I couldn't find anything. I couldn't come up with a good enough answer for his peculiar reaction. Deciding to give it more thought later, I climb into my car and head for home.
Pulling into my driveway, grabbing the bags, knowing I'll have to make a few trips, I head up the steps to the porch. Turning my key in the lock still makes me smile big at the thought that this gorgeous little house is all, mine and mine alone, continues to make me giddy.
But when I step across its threshold, my belly cramps and my chest tightens, as I feel all breathable air get sucked frantically from the room. My head starts to float and my body trembles, and I'm only brought back to reality when the plastic bags hit the floor and canned goods clank and rattle at my feet.
Staring towards my kitchen, the short entry gets longer and narrower in my blurry tunnel vision. Because really, I know what I see, but seriously it's not what I'm supposed to. Cause what's supposed to be in front of me is my cute little kitchen table and chairs. I should be able to walk right to it and place my bags on top.
But I can't, cause it's not there; but what is - is a door.
My head spins as my eyes dart frantically around the small space. I'm unable to control my breathing. As my nervous, watery eyes fall upon each and every door in my hall, panic and horror set in when I realize every fucking one, the living room, dining room, between me and the kitchen, has been closed tight.
Then suddenly, the tiny little hairs on the back of my neck spring to attention and my blood runs cold when his sarcastic voice, deep and monotone rings in my weary, frightened ears. "Edward?"
Hope you guys think this is something worth continuing to read, let me know your thoughts.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'RC Drifting and Setup' started by 69stang, Feb 27, 2005.
i need to know what kind of car to start out with? and what kind of tires and dont say pvc.
Why cant we say PVC? Are you not asking our opinions? And if we say PVC theres SOME reason why we would say use that.
Anyway, i would use ABS for tires... black, and have a little more grip then PVC. As for car, whats your limits? What do you want to do with it?
Asking those two questions would be like me asking you wheres the building. You have to be a little more specific.
im on a $200 dola budget and i have all of my electronics and whare do u find abs tires and are they for drifting?what about the yokomo drift tires?
personally i dont like Yoks. They are just way to expensive for my taste. ABS is found most anywhere PVC is.
As for car / budget. Tires will cost maby $5 to make. So you've got ~$200 left par say.
I would just go for (this is if drifting is the ONLY thing this car will do) TT-01's or ebay a Pro 1, 2, or 3. The car will be around $150ish, then you have $50 for spare parts and hops. (No matter HOW good you THINK you are, you WILL break something within the first week.)
If you were planning on doing some racing maby, just fork it out (it may hurt) and go for a TC3 of sorts. Ebay would be the way to go here.
k thanks but what exactly r abs?
Abs is a type of plastic that is alot more durrable than just plain ol' pvc pipe typically it is black...
k but what are they tape or a liqud what state do they come in?liquid solid what? if posible can some one post a picture of one finished abs wheel up close please thanks. and are those the only option for drift tires?
Take a look at PVC. ABS is EXACTLY like that, but black and softer.
If my dad will ever give me the camera back, ill post pics of mine...
Heres your option for drift tires that have been thought of... some of which i would HIGHLY suggest not to.
Copper pipe
Rattle can top
Electral tape
HARD foam tires
Yokohoma tires
HPI Stage D's (if they are out)
IF I USE ELECTRICAL TAPE how would i ude it? like put in on a rim or first put on a tire then wrap electrical tape around it or what? and what do u have for a setup, car, tires, electronics the hole shibang? (i mainly want to know what tires u use)
lol, having trouble with tires are you?
This is my basic set up,
Stock motor
KO Pro Mars
but also, when i did this i was looking at racing this car also, and had the luck of a parent paying for it all. This is NOT what you should do if you just looking to drift, or are cheap, or just are on a budget. In total, all my stuff cost 500 - 600 USD.
To set up electral tape tires, put a rubber tire on the rim, clean the rubber REAL good. Then grind it flat as you can. Then wash it REAL good again, then wrap electrical tape around the whole tire tightly about 5 times.
- or -
Wrap it around the very edge (like 1/4ths inch) from the outside in. Thats usually only used for rubber tire users (brushless) who want a little more slip.
k thanks but after all that i think i might get a yokomo drift kit lol sory 4 wasing ur time. do u have any other cars? i have an brushless e-max that goes 70mph (no kiding) and a team losi xxx buggy. but i have alll brushless systems in those and i have one extra that im gona but in my drifter! how long have u bean drifting?(i havent even started to drift yet)or how long hve u bean racing?iv bean racing since i was 7. i had to learn and make all of my own money all by my self my parents dont know squat about my racing. and im 15 now so thats 8 years
I started RC at age 2, drifting around age 10 ( just didnt really know it) and racing just these last two years. My other cars a Mclaren (ba dum cha!) No but really, my other cars are T-Maxx, RC10T x 3, RC10 B x 2, RC10B2, and then a LOT (like 70) other Radio shacks and Toys ' r' us'
Iv had to earn most of my money for recent years. Only when im starting something big (Such as my DJing, wich i ended up paying for tables and such tho) will my parents help pay. My dad used to RC Planes, then cars, and he used to teach me, now i teach him. Just these last 2 years (im now 15) have i really started getting heavy into RC again. Thats why all my stuff is Gen 1 or original.
thats kool i wish my dad did that kind of stuph he is kind of supportive but i can tell he doesnt realy care for my sport to mutch
Eh, at least your dad really pays attention. I just have to annoy my family untill they listen. Mainly with my djing because they dont like what i spin to much (i like cutting cuss words a lot )
have u seen the new hpi tires on ebay?
havent really looked at them much at all
you should check the out they are cale hpi drifting tires [ebay]
If you are referring to these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34063&item=5959777444&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
Then these are basically premade, they are hpi rims with abs already pre glued it looks like.
The HPI tire part # is either 35401 or 35402. It hard to tell from the manual which is the tire and which is the foam. I don't think they are available individually yet. You can only get them in the Stage D kit.

Thank You Page and Email not ReceivedAsked by myappliancetech on September 23, 2013 at 10:27 PM
Hi. I've been using JotForm for a few years, but recently I am having problems. I have a Joomla website with a JotForm for my customers to request an appliance repair service call. Once they click submit, a thank you message would normally appear. I no longer see this, nor am I am able have the JotForm send me an email letting me know that the form was submitted.
Please help!
Hello, I do see that the Sender Name field is not setup on your notification. Kindly populate this field with form data. This is helpful as some email service providers block messages without sender names as the are thought to be SPAM. Also you email address was on the bounce list. So I've gone ahead and removed it from the list.
In regards to the Thank you message you had setup in the past. I'm not quite sure if you had a custom message, but at this time your form is set to the standard Thank you message. So if you had a custom message you might need to change it back.
Do try the suggestions above. And kindly go ahead and perform a test submission.
Do let us know if you need further assistance. Thank you.

Note from Sundara: How pretty are these flowers in the morning dew? The peaches, yellow, oranges and pinks muted from the pink, dawn lit mist. Wouldn't this be a lovely stroll on a summer morning, with a cup of coffee and the mews of the kitty as she pads along with you?
I focused this color on the flowers in the mist, leaving out any traces of green so you'll get a ethereal mix of apricots, roses, maybe a touch of lavender, all very softly greyed from the fog. It's a spectacularly delicate color that I'm, sadly, not able to repeat.

What is webblast?
Sep 18th
Posted by AlanJames in Webblast
WebBlast is an opportunity for all people involved in the web community in Sydney to get together and have a drink. And chat. That's it. No presentations, no speeches, no sales patter; just a lot of one-on-ones, new friends and re-aquantances.
WebBlast started out in 2006 ago as the brainchild of Russ Weakley to have an end of year party for us web types, and has been fiercely successful ever since, selling out each time. So we thought, why not expand it out to other times in the year? There's certainly no other event out there that attracts all people in the web game – developers, designers, producers, media planners, account managers, social media types, starter-uppers, iOS jockeys, lawyers, 'droid wranglers, analysts and the list goes on…
So what are you waiting for? Register now and we'll see you there!

Can I borrow money for a reason other than buying a car?
Yes, in addition to its loans for new and used cars, Illawarra Credit Union also has a standard unsecured fixed loan. With this loan you can borrow money for any reason you like a holiday, wedding, mancave or backyard reno but as it is an unsecured loan, you'll pay a higher interest rate than the car loans.
There is a minimum loan amount of $2,000 with the unsecured loan up to a maximum amount of $30,000.
Is there a variable rate option?
No, Illawarra Credit Union only offer fixed rate personal loans but with all loans, you're able to make extra repayments and pay out your loan early without penalty.
Is there a minimum loan amount I can borrow with a car loan?
The minimum you can borrow is $10,000 for both the used car and new car. There is a maximum loan amount of $100,000 but for any loan, you'll need to prove that you'll be able to meet the repayments.
If you're wondering how much you'll be able to borrow, check out our loan repayments calculator.
What about loan terms, how long can I take to pay back my loan?
The maximum term is 5 years and the minimum term for all Illawarra Credit Union loans is 1 year.
Do they have flexible repayment options?
Yes, you can time your repayments with your salary payments to make it easy to stay on top of your repayments. Illawarra Credit Union offer weekly, fortnightly and monthly repayments.
Are there fees I should be aware of?
There is an application fee when you first set up the loan but the good news is there are no ongoing service fees, so all of your repayments will go towards paying down your debt.
There is a $10 late payment fee so to avoid this make sure you set up a bill alert or have the amount direct debited from your account.
What will I need to apply for a loan?
You'll need to meet the Credit Union's standard credit criteria to be approved for a loan.
You'll need to be at least 18 years of age, be an Australian resident (with an Australian address), never have been bankrupt and have a regular PAYG income from an employer.

Powder form? Are they kidding me? Am I the only one mystified by the concept of new inhalable insulin? How the heck does dosing work?
Exubera. Sounds fun, ay? Apparently one inhales it before meals using a device which I'm assuming looks like an asthma inhaler. So how much is a unit, I wonder? And how can the inhaler set unit dosages precise enough for insulin-sensitive folks like me, who respond to half-units of the injectable kind?
And since one of the key features of "pulmonary delivery" is its fast onset, how easy would it be to suck in too much Exubera and pass out right there at the dinner table? Or get a major high if you don't inhale deep enough? (Perhaps training by seasoned potheads?)
Naturally doing away with shots appeals, and the idea is that more Type 2 diabetics would be willing to move to insulin therapy for better control. BUT there's also the concern about lung damage in the long-term. Scary! As noted, those long-term risks and complications aren't clear until, well, the long-term... Will Pfizer be paying us millions for lung damage in a class-action suit somewhere down the line?
There's also the possibility that we'll be snorting insulin soon. Stay tuned.

Hot flashes are among the most prevalent symptoms of menopause.
they occur in about 75% of naturally postmenopausal women and in more than 90% of women who have undergone hysterectomy.
But a new study finds many women leave the condition untreated, which leads to extra outpatient visits and costs.
Yale University researchers used health insurance claims to compare more than 250,000 menopausal women experiencing hot flashes with more than 250,000 women without.
Over the course of a year they found the women with untreated hot flashes scheduling more than a million extra outpatient visits, which resulted in a cost of almost 370 million dollars because of medical bills and lost work.
Researchers say it may be related to the fact that women experiencing hot flashes typically experience other signs and symptoms of menopause at the same time.
they include: disturbed sleep, depression, irritability and difficulty concentrating.
Researchers contend many women fore-go the use of hormone therapy and elect to navigate work, while experiencing untreated or inadequately treated hot flashes.
They suggest doctors discuss hot flashes and their effects on daily function at each annual physical.
Complete findings for the study can be found online in the journal "Menopause."

[1st Dutch junkie] All that matters is getting my fix.
Has anyone else found it a little difficult to follow the flow of conversation in comment threads? This is the only forum that I've been to that uses the sort-up behavior rather than sorting down (where the most recent post is at the bottom of the thread).
If there was no threading and all new posts were at the top of the list (like with utube), that would be different. But trying to figure out the sort order from when a person replies to someone's repy of a reply, it gets really confusing.
Why not just have them sort in the order by date like most blogs/forums do?

Linda Norgrove
October 9, 2010 by staff
Linda Norgrove, (VOA) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the top U.S. General David Petraeus are visiting the southern province of Kandahar, where coalition forces are engaged in a major operation against the Taliban.
U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry is also accompanying the Afghan president, who should meet with tribal elders Saturday to rally support for his government and international forces.
NATO and Afghan troops trying to oust the Taliban's stronghold south with a military offensive called Operation Dragon Strike.
In another development, British Foreign Ministry said his captors killed a British aid worker kidnapped in Afghanistan during a rescue attempt. Linda Norgrove and three Afghan colleagues were kidnapped September 26 in the eastern province of Kunar.
Foreign Secretary William Hague has expressed "profound sadness" in a statement Saturday confirming the death of Norgrove.
In addition, a spokesman for the Italian Ministry of Defence, General Massimo Fogari, said four Italian soldiers were killed and another wounded in an attack in western Afghanistan. He said a roadside bomb hit the convoy of soldiers, before insurgents attacked with gunfire.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said he was saddened by the "tragic ambush."
Italy has about 3,400 soldiers in Afghanistan, deployed mainly in the west.
On Friday, a bombing at a mosque in northern Afghanistan has killed 13 people, including the Kunduz governor Mohammad Omar, who often spoke out against the Taliban and had escaped at least two attempts on his previous life.

CLEVELAND: A walkup of 6,700 was only part of the story of Friday night's flash crowd that numbered 34,282. Over the course of the entire day, the Tribe sold more than 12,000 tickets to the series opener against the Mariners that featured two promotions: Dollar Dog Night and postgame fireworks.
The 2012 and 2013 editions of the Tribe posted identical 23-17 records after 40 games.
Last year's club scored two fewer runs than the opposition (176-178), whereas this season's team outscored the opposition 197-169. Earned-run averages are almost identical, 4.01 in 2012 and 3.92 this year.
A big edge in home runs went this year's club; 55-34.
The Indians are seven games over .500 for the first time this season…..They are 13-8 at home but 11-2 in their past 13 games at Progressive Field. They also are 11-3 in one-run games…..Chris Perez allowed two home runs in an inning for the third time in his career.
