Regarding the Monday article, "Bothell still wants to grow": It just amazes me that the city of Bothell is going to throw away taxpayer money in these tough economic times by submitting paperwork to put its annexation on the April 17 special election ballot. What part of no don't they get?
All we hear from Mayor Mark Lamb is how taxes would go down and how we would receive better services from the city of Bothell. Is the mayor saying that Bothell has better police services than the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office? How can that be, when the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office has more manpower, resources, programs, and a substation in Mill Creek.
As far as the tax reduction goes, why not paint a full picture for the voters instead of giving them an incomplete painting? New taxes would be imposed on property owners, which would offset some of the savings in taxes that we keep hearing we would get if the annexation were to be approved. Why not be forthright and give the voters a "real" dollar amount saved in taxes after the new taxes are factored in, as opposed to just saying taxes will go down.
The story line from the city of Bothell never changes and I for one have no issue with any of the services I am currently receiving from Snohomish County, it could not get any better! It makes no sense to vote for an annexation that provides fewer services and imposes new taxes.

I have a dual-monitor setup with my powerbook, but sometimes, I just want to use the lcd that is attached. Is there a way to turn off the powerbook display completely? Hitting F1 all the way seems to dim it a lot but objects are still visible.

if you're using a usb mouse or keyboard....just shut your powerbook, then remove the usb mouse or keyboard...you powerbook will come out of sleep, then you can put your usb back in and you'll have just the other screen...but there are other ways too I beleive....for keeping the powerbook closed while your'e still using it could make it get extremely hot.

Forging our own paths
When you are a kid, you only know what you know based on the house that you live in. There is this moment when you start to experience your own life and realize that not everybody lives the way you do. I am not so sure why I began to think about this recently but there is one experience that keeps running through my head.
It might be that because school is over there is a group of Josh's friends that hang at our house every night. Josh makes them dinner and they all get involved. That is our house yet I hear different things from these kids about how their homes are different. Even though everyone's home is different when you are younger it is your parents that are the end all be all. They are your role models and as you get older and see the world as bigger than the four walls that you live in you can then begin to forge your own path.
When I was eight we were living in Ann Arbor, MI. It was an idyllic place to be. The streets had sidewalks, the kids roamed freely, we drove up and down the street on our bikes. One night I spent the night at a friends house. I can't recall if she was a good friend or just one of those random sleepovers but it is irrelevant. I went over to her house and immediately I knew that she had a totally different life than me. The house was old, large, dark and creaky.
We had dinner with her parents at a huge long table in the dining room and only four of us sat at it. We were served the dinner by a woman who worked for them and each of our plates had a proportioned amount on each plate, a small amount that was already cut up. That was it, no seconds. Nobody really spoke. I recall the meal was quite formal where our house was the complete opposite. We served ourselves, we sat at the table in the kitchen and it was a basic free for all.
When we went to bed I noticed how itchy and stiff the sheets were. The blanket was a thick scratchy wool. I told my friend that the sheet were itchy and she said that they let the sheet dry outside and that is why. We used a dryer.
The experience has stuck in my mind all these years. It was that moment where I realized that I was my own person. That how we lived in our house was not how everyone lived. That going out into the world an experiencing other homes gave me the ability to think about how I want to lead my life. Maybe the way that my parents did it was not the end all be all.
Entrepreneurs go out in the world building their companies. They take advice, they look at other models and how they worked or didn't work, they not only create their own businesses but they create their own four walls. That experience I had at 8 stuck with me and perhaps deep inside that made me think about who it was I wanted to be and how I wanted to forge my own path in life.

Daemen PTs treat Mongolian Judo champ
Daemen College physical therapists recently continued their relationship with an unusual client: Naidan Tüvshinbayar, a two-time Olympic medalist in Judo from Mongolia.
Tüvshinbayar won a silver medal in the 2012 London summer Olympics but suffered a serious left knee injury in the final bout, according to a Daemen news release. He received successful surgery on the knee by Buffalo surgeon Dr. John Marzo and then received treatment from Daemen's physical therapists.
Click here to watch the gold medal match.
Tüvshinbayar's first visit to Western New York came after the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he became the first Mongolian ever to win a gold medal. At that time, he received medical evaluation and treatment from Marzo and the Daemen team for an injury to his right knee.
Tüvshinbayar's wikipedia page, found here, says his athletic pursuits have earned him election as a state-honored athlete and "hero of labor" in Mongolia. His visits to the Buffalo region come from a friendship between Carmen Cabell, Consul of Mongolia in New Jersey, and Roger Trevino, of Niagara Falls Redevelopment, and Seymour Knox IV. The Daemen news release says Tüvshinbayar credits Dr. Marzo with extending his Olympic career and second medal.
Tüvshinbayar has traveled back to Mongolia and will continue his rehabilitation, including ongoing consultants with Dr. Greg Ford, chair of Daemen's Physical Therapy Department, and other college officials.

I love sorrel, and so few people seem to have any idea what it is, which is tragic, so I'm posting another recipe using it. The first thing to make is the pesto.
Pesto is a basic combination of a leafy green, an oil-rich nut, garlic, and oil. Traditionally this has most often been seen as basil/pine nuts/garlic/olive oil/parmesan, but you can use nearly any green from arugula to celery leaves to garlic scapes, and nearly any nut.
For this pesto you're going to take the acidic lemony sorrel and balance it with sweet, slightly bitter, hazelnuts. (Hazelnuts are a real bear to find right now, so if you can't, I think almonds would sub admirably.) The original recipe I used (found here at the Seattle Examiner – Sorrel Pesto Recipe ) called for olive oil. All I had on hand was extra virgin, and I found it overpowered the more delicate flavors of the sorrel and nuts, so next time I make it ( and there will be many next times…) I'll be looking for a more neutral oil. Other than that, you can't find an easier thing to make than pesto, if you have a food processor. If you don't, you're going to need a mortar and pestle and a lot of commitment.
Sorrel Pesto – makes about 1/2 cup
- 2 TBSP Roasted Hazelnuts
- 1 cup, packed Sorrel, leaves and stems, washed and dried
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 2-3 TBS oil
- Salt to taste
- A few grinds of pepper
If you're using a food processor you'll need to increase the recipe. I quadrupled it for mine, giving me two cups of pesto. This is not a problem because it freezes beautifully. If you're using the mortar, start mashing. 🙂
Combine the nuts, sorrel, and garlic in the bowl of the processor and pulse until you have a nice even consistency. Drizzle in the oil, pulse to combine, and taste for seasoning. Add whatever you feel it needs. This recipe doesn't include parmesan, but if you just can't without the cheese, go ahead and throw in a tablespoon, but do it before you add the salt.
Now you have pesto. What to do with it? Good on sandwiches, on pizza, on pasta. I'm thinking it would be really nice mixed with a little mayonnaise for fish, but I haven't tried it yet. What I did with it last night for dinner was…
Penne with Sorrel Pesto Cream Sauce
If you froze pesto in 1/2 cup quantities ahead of time then this is about the easiest dinner you can imagine.
- 12 oz uncooked penne pasta
- water for the pasta
- 1/2 cup Sorrel Pesto
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese
In a large pot, salt the water and bring it to a boil. Cook the penne until done to your liking. Drain.
While the pasta is cooking, gently warm the cream and combine it with the pesto.
Toss the hot, drained, penne with the sauce. Correct your seasonings. Top with a dusting of grated Parmesan. Sit down and eat your dinner in less than 15 minutes. You're going to want a crusty bread to mop up any sauce that might think it's going to stay on your plate. Salads are good too, and arugula goes well with the lemony notes of the sorrel. Enjoy!

Today, I've decided to post a little about Wedding Day Fashion.
The wedding dress is probably most brides' favorite aspect of the wedding. Besides the whole 'marrying your best friend/love of your life' part. =) As many of you probably know by now, Maggie Sottero happens to be my favorite wedding dress designer. This dress is actually the one I picked out for me *ahem* before I found the newest one (also by Maggie..) that I absolutely fell in love.
This dress is called Rowena. Yes, Maggie loves her dresses so much, she even gives them names. This is a beautiful dress, and no doubt looks stunning on any bride.
Who is your favorite wedding dress designer??

I was back in London for the State Opening of Parliament, when the Queen set out the Government's plans for the year ahead.
There were 16 new bills announced, which will all be scrutinised and argued over in the weeks ahead.
However, on the upside, the temporary lull in Westminster law-making has given me extra time to catch up with constituency casework.
In addition to speaking in the Commons, asking questions and sitting on Parliamentary Committees, on average I receive over 200 e-mails a day and about 50-100 letters.
Residents also frequently drop into my Barnoldswick and Nelson offices to speak to my staff, rather than having to wait for an appointment at one of my advice surgeries.
Simply staying on top of this casework is a huge part of the job and I must admit my recent poor health has left us with a backlog.
The issues people approach me with are varied and resolving them is the most rewarding part of the job.
These range from domestic violence and murder through to potholes and dog fouling, with every issue of real concern to the people who have taken time to contact me about them.
In the past weeks, I have helped a young person leaving care get funding to go to university, sorted out someone's passport so they can go on holiday, secured a commitment for new weight restriction signs on residential roads in Barrowford and got an assurance out of Pendle Council they will fix a car park barrier in Barnoldswick.
Some of this may sound trivial, but dealing with these everyday issues helps keep me in touch with the wide variety of concerns of Pendle residents.
There are some big challenges in our area that need to be addressed, but this shouldn't ever be at the expense of keeping on top of the small stuff.

The Emissions Trading Scheme We Elected To Miss Out On
The Emissions Trading Scheme We Elected To Miss Out On
Just think: had John Howard won the last election we'd probably have an emissions trading scheme enacted by now. And it would be very similar to the one his Liberal successors defeated and Kevin Rudd has just run away from. So says Ross Gittins in the Sydney Morning Herald, while WWF says the Government should negotiate with the Greens and other willing senators to put an interim price on carbon immediately, and then implement an emissions trading scheme by late 2011.
Ross Gittins in Sydney Morning Herald (3 May 2010):
Just think: had John Howard won the last election we'd probably have an emissions trading scheme enacted by now. And it would be very similar to the one his Liberal successors defeated and Kevin Rudd has just run away from.
It would be similar because Rudd's scheme was heavily modified to accommodate business interests (as Howard's would have been) and because both schemes would have been designed by the same bureaucrats who produced Howard's Shergold report on climate change.
It would have been passed by the Senate because all the Coalition climate change deniers who've emerged from the closet since the election – Barnaby Joyce, Nick Minchin, Andrew Robb and, more self-servingly, Tony Abbott – would have stayed in the closet, bound by the party line, cabinet solidarity and by the same motivation that drove Rudd to dingo last week: a willingness to put retaining the spoils of office ahead of personal principle.
It would have been passed because Howard, a strong leader too canny to ever let himself be seen as weak, would have kept such a central election promise. And because his minister prosecuting the scheme would have been the only senior man left in Parliament with a genuine commitment to fighting climate change – and the only one willing to put his job on the line over it – Malcolm Turnbull.
The bitter joke is both Howard and Rudd went to the 2007 election promising similar emissions trading schemes, the public favoured Rudd, believing Howard to be a convert of convenience and Rudd to be the true believer.
How wrong could you be? It turned out Rudd was the fair-weather friend. From a policy perspective, the two big promises that got him elected were rolling back Work Choices and introducing an ETS.
Core promises don't come more core than this, and Rudd has broken it without apology. Why? For the weakest of reasons. Because public support for the policy had slipped somewhat – largely due to his refusal to argue for it – and because Abbott's "great big new tax" scare campaign might have cost him a few votes. When the going gets tough, Rudd cuts and runs. The one thing that wouldn't have happened under Howard was our ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. Howard was too proud to recant on that one.
But what difference would that have made? None. Kyoto turned out to be no more than first in a line of grandiloquent gestures, full of self-congratulation and chest-thumping that counted for nothing.
While the expedient behaviour of all the parties – including the Greens – has contributed to this national failure of will, with all the powers of incumbency at his disposal the ultimate blame rests with Rudd.
Don't believe his line that the perfidious Liberals have stopped him keeping his promise. He could still have got his legislation passed had he the courage to call a double dissolution followed by a joint sitting of Parliament. But he ran from this choice because it would have put climate change and his "great big new tax" at the centre of the election campaign. He simply lacks the bottle to fight for a controversial reform – unlike Howard, who went close to defeat in 1998 to get approval for his goods and services tax, a genuinely "great big new tax on everything".
And don't believe Rudd's line that he's merely delayed the implementation of his trading scheme until a more propitious time. His courage is unlikely to have returned by 2013, which will be the year of the following federal election.
He's unlikely to have an easier run then than he has now. He'll be dealing with a Greens-controlled Senate, but is unlikely to be willing to compromise with them in a less business-friendly direction.
(This is why they, too, have done the nation – and the planet – a grave disservice by refusing to support a less-than-perfect scheme. Held out for perfection; ended with nothing.)
Rudd must be praying a miracle – or an ecological disaster – gets him off the hook: other countries' leaders show more strength and foresight than he can muster, the Liberals abandon their climate-change denial, or further evidence of damaging climate change stiffens the public's resolve.
Business, too, has badly miscalculated. It white-anted Rudd's scheme in pursuit of sectional advantage – it could tell a soft-touch when it saw one – giving comfort to the distorters and denialists.
For its trouble it's been plunged into uncertainty about whether, when or how we'll ever see a price on carbon. This is likely to delay major new investments – particularly in power generation – or encourage some firms to press on with installing new dirty technology that locks us in for the next 30 years.
The Shergold report assured Howard that getting on with the adjustment to a low-emissions world without waiting for a global agreement would greatly reduce the ultimate adjustment cost to Australia, and Rudd preached the same message to Howard's successors.
Now he's condemned himself out of his own mouth. To fail to act on "the great moral and economic challenge of our time" constitutes "absolute political cowardice, absolute failure of leadership and absolute failure of logic".
But Rudd himself will pay a heavy price. He's just trashed his credibility as a leader. Who will ever believe what he says again? His decline and demise began last week.

WWF comment (28 April 2010):
The Australian Government's decision to delay the carbon pollution reduction scheme (CPRS) is grossly irresponsible both in terms of the environment and the economy, and is a betrayal to those who voted the Rudd Government in, WWF-Australia CEO Greg Bourne said.
It also flies in the face of a new opinion poll which shows an overwhelming 79 per cent of respondents believe Australia should either begin reducing carbon pollution before other countries, or start reducing regardless of when other countries choose to act.
"It is clear the Australian public wants action now, and not when it is politically beneficial," said Mr Bourne. "Delaying the scheme elevates opportunism over the welfare of future generations."
The Government's decision ignores environmental and economic advice from a wide range of experts recommending immediate Australian action, including the CSIRO and the Garnaut and Shergold reviews.
Both Garnaut and Shergold recommended the immediate implementation of an emission trading scheme irrespective of the positions taken by other countries because it would advantage Australia in the long run.
The new opinion poll of over 4,000 Australians living in metropolitan areas was conducted for WWF-Australia by AMR Interactive. Only13 per cent of respondents said Australia should wait until other countries take action on reducing their carbon pollution.
Despite the overwhelming public support for action, Australia's carbon pollution remains the highest per-capita in the developed world. Australia's carbon pollution is currently growing at twice the world average.
Respected Australian and international economists charged with assessing options to reduce carbon pollution have all found an emissions trading scheme to be the most efficient, cost effective and environmentally sound method to reduce Australia's carbon pollution.
"Australia's carbon pollution keeps going up and up. The longer we delay setting a price on carbon, the more it is going to cost Australian households and Australian businesses," said Mr Bourne.
"No matter where you look, the advice is the same. We need a way to set a limit on carbon pollution and begin reducing it.
"The Australian Government should negotiate with the Greens and other willing senators to put an interim price on carbon immediately, and then implement an emissions trading scheme by late 2011."

With soberness of mind, he takes up his quill,
And awaits the muses that are currently still,
he struggles in thought as the candle burns low,
a flickering light on a page, words yet to bestow.
Then all of a sudden there's a change in it light,
The flame once flickering dim is now dancing and bright,
Words flowing like summoned then plucked from the air,
And the former blank parchment is no longer bare.
Full of meaning and purpose he scribes through the night,
A little here a little there 'til he's got it just right,
Then sets he his quill from whence it had come,
And hopes that his work is pleasing to some.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Cricket Forum' started by clontaago, Apr 24, 2009.
Or is anyone else just about over the cricket. I find that there is way too much of it these days.
Its just you nah you are right there is way too much meaningless crap on, especially now the ICC has bent over and lifted its skirts to the BCCI. I mean who gives 2 ****s about the IPL really, its not even in India!!
Never enough Test matches, the rest can go. Noticed Hughes hit a century at Lords on debut for his county.
With posts like that Bob, you needn't stay silent 100% correct
i saw that the IPL was on again, crowd looked about 5K it wont last
Yawn - wake me up when the Ashes start and get some decent spinners playing for Australia!!!!
Decent spinners? Well I'm available if selected!!

There are occasions that even the most athletic person just doesn't feel like running to the kitchen for a snack. They'd rather have someone else get it or have some high powered machinery take them to the kitchen.
Why not just take laziness one step further and snag this Rocket Chair. It is not only excessively impractical but it burns through 7 gallons of 90% Hydrogen Peroxide to take off and fly for a whopping 45 seconds.
Honestly, I'd be happy if this were just a normal chair fashioned to seem like it's rocket powered. This was created by Ky Michaelson who specializes in several different rocket powered items, like a scooter, sled and snowmobile. Alright, the sled is pretty bad ass, regardless of whether or not it's practical.

Heels and cute dresses just don't cut it for me like they used to. Sure I can wear them for work and events, but to just head out with the family, it's just not possible! It's so much easier to be a Mom in comfy clothes sometimes!
I have found that graphic tee's and distressed denim shorts are what I am reaching for. It's been kind of hot, so the cardigan comes off and on throughout the day, depending on where we are!

The legislative session ended on Thursday, March 24th. Because 2016 is the second year of the biennial session, no bills will be held over to be heard next year. Any bill that gets introduced next year must start over from the beginning – even if the bill was already heard during this legislative session.
Budget HR 751 passed the full senate. It will now go into mediation between the House and Senate. This is done through a budget committee made up of 3 Senators and 3 Representatives. The Fiscal Year 2017 General Budget is $23.7 Billion.
SB 271: Senator Burke
This bill brings up the difficult subject of involuntary hospitalization for people with mental illness. The bill outlines procedures for involuntary commitment; in particular, it establishes the requirement for a Committee for Continued Involuntary Treatment Review at each hospital. As described in the bill, this committee would consist of physicians and possibly psychologists. This is a medical model which does not take into account the knowledge and recommendations of people with lived experience. The bill also addresses the right of the individual to receive written notice of his/her right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus [legal action by which people can seek relief from involuntary detention]. Also included in the language of the bill would be a period, not to exceed one year, where a person could be ordered into involuntary treatment. The bill does not indicate specific times or procedures for any reviews during this period of time.
SB 271 was passed in the Senate and the House and is now awaiting the Governor's signature.
SB 302: Senator Martin
This bill requires health carriers to maintain accurate provider directories that are easily accessible to the public. The bill details requirements that health carriers: post a provider directory on their website; provide a print copy of the provider directory upon request; update each network plan on the provider directory every 30 days; include a dedicated email and telephone number for the public to report confusing or inaccurate information listed in the provider directory; and conduct an annual review of the entire provider directory, including follow up with each listed provider to ensure that the information is accurate and complete. Additionally, the bill specifies that if a covered individual sought services based on inaccurate or misleading information contained in the provider directory, the Commissioner may require the health carrier to reimburse the individual for any amount beyond what he or she would have paid for an in-network provider.
The bill passed out of the Senate by substitute on February 25th and passed in the House on March 14th. It is now awaiting the governor's signature.
SR 974: Senator Unterman
This resolution was introduced on February 11th to create the Surprise Billing Practices Study Committee in order to examine surprise medical bills from out of network providers.
This resolution was passed on March 22nd.
SR 1056: Senator Rhett
This resolution would create a study committee on the Premium Assistance Program, an alternative to Medicaid expansion that assists individuals to purchase health insurance through private group plans.
This resolution was passed on March 22nd.
SR 1165: Senator Miller
This resolution was introduced on March 10th to create a study committee on Opioid Abuse.
This resolution was passed on March 22nd.
HB 498: Representative Hawkins
This bill would provide Licensed Professional Counselors with the legal authority to diagnose mental health conditions, provided that they have graduate level education, training, and supervised experience, or its equivalency, working with people with mental illness, developmental disabilities, or substance use.
This bill did not pass.
HB 722: Representative Peake
This bill addresses the ongoing legislative conversation surrounding medical use of cannabis products in the state of Georgia. This legislation would increase who would be covered under the category of medical necessity, as well as the legal percentage of THC permitted in medical products. The bill is inclusive of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, among other specified conditions.
This bill did not pass.
HB 768: Representative Hawkins
This bill establishes the Georgia Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) program. The bill creates a qualified ABLE program in the state of Georgia that will allow individuals to create tax-exempt savings accounts to pay for the qualified expenses of eligible individuals with disabilities. Any person can make contributions to the account, including the beneficiary, family, and/or friends. Mental Health America of Georgia would like to ensure that this bill is inclusive of people with mental illness, as in the federal ABLE legislation.
This bill passed and is awaiting the Governor's signature.
HB 897: Representative Price
This bill provides for the establishment of a drug repository program, created through the Board of Community Health and the Board of Public Health, to accept and dispense unused prescription drugs donated for Georgia residents who meet eligibility criteria. The drugs must be sealed and unopened, and any person, including drug manufacturers or health care facilities, could donate prescription drugs to this program. Drugs would be dispensed only with a valid prescription.
This bill passed and is waiting for the Governor's signature.
HB 859: Representative Jaspers
This bill authorizes the carrying and possession of handguns by weapons carry license holders in public institutions of postsecondary education.
This bill has passed the House floor and the Senate as of March 11th. The vote was 37 yes, 17 no, one excused and one no vote. You can read how your Senator voted by going on the www.legis.ga.gov web site. Please pay particular attention to the senators who voted no. You may want to drop them an e-mail to say thank you. Below you will also find talking points about suicide, guns and colleges, pointing out the correlation between campus suicide and access to lethal means, like firearms. The only way to now stop this dangerous bill is through the Governor's office. Take a minute and e-mail the Governor and share the data collected on the talking point page. Also, you might drop a note to the paper in your area and share this frightening demographic about college students and suicide.
It is so difficult to know about all the hard work people across Georgia are doing to prevent these tragic deaths and then listen to this debate. The Governor can STOP this bill by a simple VETO.
According to Emory University:
- Fifty four percent of completed suicides are by firearms.
- There are more than 1000 suicides on college campuses every year.
- One in ten college students have made a plan for suicide
- Approximately 5.2 percent of Emory students have seriously considered suicide within the past 12 months, and .9 percent of Emory students have made an attempt in the past 12 months.
- Suicidal thoughts, making plans for suicide, and suicide attempts are higher among young adults age 18 to 25 than among adults over the age of 26.
- Lifetime thoughts of attempting suicide are reported to occur among 5 percent of graduate students and 18 percent of undergraduates.
- Groups that are particularly at risk for ideation and attempt are male, white, and under the age of 21
- In the 20 to 24 age range, there is an 80 percent chance of death from a suicide using a firearm – access to lethal means increases risk of death by suicide
Research has demonstrated a correlation between policies that PROHIBIT firearms on campus and decreased campus suicide rates
Risk factors specific to college students include:
- New environment
- Loss of social network
- Loss of safety net found at home
- Pressure academically or socially
- Isolation and alienation
- Lack of coping skills
- Difficulty adjusting to new demands of college life
- Decreased academic performance and subsequent feelings of failure
- Experimentation with drugs and alcohol
- Unwillingness to seek help
- Access to lethal means
HR 1093: Representative Alexander
This bill is a House Resolution in conjunction with the Senate Resolution (SR 722) to establish a Study Committee on Mental Health Initiatives, Reform, Public Health, and Safety. As with the Senate resolution, Mental Health America of Georgia is interested in determining the direction of this committee.
This resolution passed on March 24th.
HR 1254: Representative Stephens
This resolution urges Medicaid care management organizations in the state of Georgia to cover certain medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In particular, the drug Vyvanse was removed from the Preferred Drug Listing for Medicaid patients of the Georgia Medicaid Care Management Organization, WellCare, and CareMark. The resolution urges the Georgia Department of Community Health to insist that Medicaid care management organizations provide full coverage for extended release ADHD medications, including Vyvanse.
This resolution passed on March 22nd.
To read these bills go to WWW.legis.ga.gov. It can take a few days for the bills to come up in their latest revision.

Journey to the Mall
Going to the mall is incredibly painful for me. But unfortunately there are some instances in life where I cannot avoid it. And by some "instances in life" I mean my girlfriend is forcing me to go. And by "forcing" me to go I mean… well, it basically means I have to go.
I hate it. I hate it so much. It's full of stores. It's full of people. And it's full of shoes. Stores upon stores of shoes. And each one mandates a quick visit that requires trying on, at the very least, twenty pairs of shoes. Each one appearing very similar to the previous one, minus on tiny detail that is completely unnoticeable to my male mind.
And of course I have to give my "honest" opinion.
It's hell on earth for me.
Thankfully my girlfriend had become a rabid fan of this online store service (much like a European equivalence of Zappos), which has cut down on her trips to the mall without cutting off her deep desire to clothes shop. It's been a life saver for me and countless other men.
So tell me boys and girl… when was the last time you went to the mall? Was it a quick in and out? Or was it a painful ordeal that felt as arduous as a trip into Mordor?
But before I go, I need to address the elephant in the room with today's comic. Yes, I am very aware of the way I drew Kim and her mom. And believe me, even though I feel incredibly weird about the whole image, I still had fun drawing it out. I just tried not to think about it too much… it's just horribly wrong.
However I'm happy with the way it came out, and decided to reward my $5 Patreon subscribers with a full sized version of those two in their own little pin-up. Because… hey it's Virgil. It's what he would want.

You may be thinking "How does beard oil have a place on CHICK advisor?"
Let me enlighten you! This glorious brand, Gibs, is known for their line of men's products(specifically beard oils.). However what some May not know is that their famous beard oil doubles as a tattoo oil!! They offer their beard/tattoo oil in 3 scents but I find that the "voodo prince" scent is the only one I'd consider to be unisex. The Other 2 are quite manly!!
This oil soaks in to your tattoo quickly and leaves no gross residue behind. It will instantly make your tattoo pop. My husband uses this in his giant beard and it makes it so soft that I actually want to touch it! The smell of Voodoo Prince is by far my favourite!! He also uses it on his tattoo sleeve making the edges instantly more clear and the tattoo more vivid overall. The best part is there is no alcohol in the beard oil. Some cheaper beard oils are known to have alcohol in them which completely defeats the purpose of the beard oil as alcohol will just keep drying out the hair instead of conditioning it like a quality beard oil does. You can also use this on your long hair, it is great for abolishing those pesky split ends! I wouldn't reccomend buying it soley for that purpose ladies, only because it's quite a small bottle, there are many more hair oils available for women in a much more substantial sized bottle. I know as a women with long, thick hair, I'd love this, but would run out in week or 2.
Bottom Line, Gibs is great. I introduce all my bearded AND/OR tattooed friends to this little gem. It can be pricey but if you have a friend in the beauty industry you can get it for much less at Cosmoprof ($10.95 instead of $19.95).

JR on Batista possibly missing Raw: "After being punted in the head ala Ray Guy (Google it, kids), I would suggest that it is doubtful that Batista will be able to be a part of Monday Night Raw this week but that's an assumption and we all know what happens when one assumes."
JR on Trish Stratus at Raw: "I would say my chances of seeing one of my all time favorite hires, Trish Stratus, in TO is better than 50/50 but that doesn't necessarily mean she will appear on TV. If she does, it likely will be on Raw and it would seem that if she is available that a cameo by the multiple time, former champion would be a good thing. However, understand that I have no idea what is in store for the TV shows on Monday and that me visiting with Trish is largely my wishful thinking. Is that so wrong??"
JR on Bret Hart: "I got a great message from Bret 'Hitman' Hart a few hours ago and he said he was getting better every day after having knee replacement surgery. I challenged Bret to a foot race while he is healing but he wants to "race me around the block" once he is better. At that point I think the foot race offer will be off the table. I would love to take a camera crew to Bret's place in Hawaii and sit with Bret and do the ultimate DVD interview complete with his thoughts on many of his favorite matches that he participated in and that he observed. Playing word association with Bret on virtually dozens of wrestling's biggest names would be fun."

I was not able to tolerate Geodon and was taken off of it after 2 weeks. Saphris, I have been taking for 3 months so far and have excellent results. My moods are the most stable that they have ever been. This does not increase my aggressiveness like most or leave me feeling like I am going to fall over after taking it. The only thing that I dont like it that it says that it causes sleepiness and it does not have that affect on me. (I wish it did). Although everyone reacts different to medications, I would talk to your doctor if you are concerned about feeling drugged. You didn't state if your change in medicine took place all at once with both but sometimes for me, changing too many things at once will give me strange side effects.( Withdrawing from one while adding another one with its own set of side affects.
thank you princess22008 i was only taking venlafaxine 50 mg an clonazepam 1 mg ihave been off geodon for 8 weeks i rfused to take abilify iwas afraid but i realized i needed something for my bipolar so they gave me saphris
Hi, if you are concerned then talk this through with your doctor. Realistically speaking though, 2 days isn't enough time for the drug to get in to your system and start working effectively. If you can tolerate the side effects i would suggest you try to keep going with this med. You probably know from taking these types of meds before, that it usually takes approx 4 weeks for a real idea of how the med is going to work for you. Take it steady and be careful about driving etc while you are feeling like this. I hope you get some relief soon
Thank you very much for your advise but I've talked it over with my doctor but as you know doctors can't tell you or give you nothing but a script. So when I show up here this is were I feel i get real feedback. I know everyone here is not a doctor but i value everyones opionion for a life time and the doctors for as longs as I'm in the office. Thank You Delila

As I already blogged before, there where some changes in the user creation. I noticed the new notification for the mysql user which changed in Leopard into _mysql, the underscore appears on almost all the users that aren't connected to people. The only users without an underscore are 'daemon', 'nobody', 'root' and me.
But more has changed I found out. As where I first used the Netinfo tools to create users for daemons to have them use it, like the vmail user for the virtual mail directory. But in Leopard these tools are gone! There is also no GUI tool to have a look at them.
There is a new tool in town, it's called the 'Directory Service command line utility', 'dscl' for short and is command line only! See this article in the Apple knowledgebase and the dscl man page here.
Here is a example on how to use the tool which you have to use as root or use with the sudo command. To find out the UID of the postfix user you use the following command:
Which returns:
NFSHomeDirectory: /var/spool/postfix
Password: *
PrimaryGroupID: 27
Postfix Mail Server
RecordName: _postfix postfix
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Users
UniqueID: 27
UserShell: /usr/bin/false
This means another task for rewriting the documentation. Which makes me a bit sad.
The Workgroup Manager tool included in Apple's Server Admin Tools provides a gui that, with a little awkwardness, can be used for administering local users and groups:
When you run the application, it will bring up a Connect dialog which you can cancel out of — unless you are actually accessing Mac OS X Server.
To access the local host's users and groups, select "View Directories†(command-d) from the "Server†menu. It will probably bring up an alert warning you that you're working on a local, and not network-visible, database — which is what we want.
The icon tabs on the left of the window that comes up allow you to view the users, groups, and some other things we don't need on Mac OS X (but which are relevant if you're running Mac OS X Server). To make any changes, you have to click the lock button near the top right of the window and enter an admin user name and password.

Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it?
The Internet is many different networks around the world. A network is a group of computers put together. These networks joined together are called the Internet.
Maybe that doesn't sound interesting. But when we've joined the Internet, there are lots of things we can do. We can find lots of interesting information on the World Wide Web(www). We can use the Internet instead of a library to find all kinds of information for our homework. We can find information about our favourite sports or film stars and do shopping on the Internet. We can also send messages to other people by e-mail. It is much cheaper and quicker than calling our friends or sending a letter.
Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. People can now work at home with a computer in front of them, getting and sending the information they need. They can buy or sell whatever they want by the Internet. But do you know 98%of the information is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

For Rita's great pictures of Portugal, try this link:
Lisbon is a smashingly beautiful city, situated on hills overlooking a bay that feeds out to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often compared to San Francisco because of all the hills and little funiculars will take you up many of the hills for 3.20 Euros each (about $4.) It is indeed a strategic location that has been occupied since about 700 B.C., according to an exhibit at the Sao Jorge Castle. These Iron Age people traded widely in the Mediterranean. This is one of the most fascinating things (to me) about Lisbon. It has so many layers of history, including the Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, Napoleon, etc. As the furthermost southwest country in Europe, protruding out into the Atlantic, as it were, it was the first European country to figure out how to sail around Africa and tap the riches of Asia. Remember the names you learned, and then forgot, in high school–Vasco de Gama and Ferdinand Magellan.
It's obvious, however, that the city and country have suffered as a result of the fiscal austerity that has been imposed on it and other southern European countries by the power of the Germans and northern Europeans. The northerners lent too much money, creating a hot money bubble, and now they want to be repaid, but the money doesn't seem to exist. So the Portugese and others are having to cut deeply into their social fabric and government services. The Portugese are bitter about this–journalist Eugenio Alves told us that it was the southern Europeans who were the great civilizations–Portugal, Spain, Rome and Greece. But now the northerners possess the capital and economic clout to assert their vision of how Europe should be managed.
We stayed at the Tivoli Lisboa, which is one of the finest hotels in town, located on the Avenida da Liberdade. This tree-lined boulevard boasts all the latest fashion stores, but it also reveals the stresses and strains that have hit the country. On the equivalent of Portugal's Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue combined, we see homeless people camped out in doorsteps of empty buildings. There are other buildings that seem to have been abandoned and graffiti has been sprayed on them. It's often beautiful graffiti because the Portugese have a great sense of style, but it still reveals a sense of despair and alienation. We see many policemen on foot, another sign that crime has been a concern.
At the same time, we see an elite class of Portugese who are driving Ferrari's and Porsches, wearing great clothes and sporting the latest sunglasses (or so Rita tells me–my own sense of style is limited in this department). So it seems there has been a stratification in Portugese society, much like what you see in New York City. There are lots of signs advertising real estate for sale. They are in multiple languages, including Chinese. In fact, on the street I overheard a Chinese saying to a real estate agent "in a few years." The implication is that real estate values are depressed now, but if we just wait, they will come back. That is a very Chinese view. They love buying at the bottom. The fact that the Chinese are buying real estate in Lisbon really tells you something–the world order that prevailed for centuries is being overturned. The Chinese, for example, purchased the national electricity company, beating out the Germans.
The Portugese language is very interesting. It's almost like it is a non-romance language because of all the H sounds. Lisboa becomes Lish-boa, for example. The difficulty of understanding the language seems to be a weapon. The Portugese can understand the Spanish, who are much more dominant on the Iberian Peninsula, but the Spanish can't understand Portugese. A surprising number of Portugese, at least those connected to the tourist industry, speak English. It seems that the English have helped Portugal over the course of the centuries, including fighting Napoleon, so the Portugese do not look at the English as a conquering force, but rather as allies against other dominant European powers. Between Rita's Spanish and my French, we were almost always able to communicate. At one restaurant, I tried the French "moutarde" to get mustard, but that didn't translate. Then I said "mustard" and the waiter got that right away.
The food, by the way, is great with lots of fine fish. We had a brilliant meal at the Journalists' Club of Lisbon, which is affiliated with the Overseas Press Club in New York. We've also had a little of their famous port. On two occasions, we went to hear the famous Portugese music called fado. The first night, it was at a family run restaurant set in old Roman ruins with the arched ceilings. The same people who are waiting on you suddenly erupt in very soulful and mournful song. A second night, we went to a performance with mostly French tourists in attendance. It seems the music is about a sense of suffering and beauty, all wrapped together.
One of my favorite places was the National Museum of Ancient Art. As I said, the Portugese were among the first Europeans to establish a colonial empire and they were everywhere: Brazil, Africa, Goa and Cochin in India, Malacca in Malaysia, Macau on the coast of China. At the museum, we saw the gold jewelry that the Portugese brought back from Goa. What amazing wealth.
I've seen Portugese colonies in Macau, off the coast of China, and in Malacca, on the west coast of Malaysia. The Portugese seem to have engaged deeply with their colonies, imparting language, religion, cuisine and intermarriages. The British, in contrast, seem to have built infrastructures and legal systems but didn't want to commingle their juices with the locals. The Portugese were in Japan in the year 1600. The Japanese say "arigato" for thank you. The Portugese say "obrigado." The Japanese borrowed the word.
We also went to the national botanical garden and seen a stunning variety of trees, many of them endangered, from around the world. They even had a few plants left over from Jurassic Park days. The fact that all these plants are here is another indication that this is clearly one of the world's great crossroads and I/we had never thought of it in that way.
It's been widely reported in the newspapers that Portugal has emerged from its bailout program, meaning it will no longer rely on extra payments by other European governments and will try to make it on its own. That's positive news, of course, but longer term, I don't see how the Portugese can reclaim their greatness. The definition of how wealth is created has changed.
They have no diamonds, no oil. Their industries seem to be based on fishing, wine, olive oil, clothing, handicrafts, porcelains, and the like. They don't have a semiconductor industry. They don't own their own car companies. (We drove a Renault down to the Algarve.) Tourism is another major piece of their economy and they are dependent on foreigners to come in and buy real estate. In the south, the British are everywhere and seem to be a mainstay of the southern Portugese economy in particular.
But to generate real wealth these days, countries need to occupy strategic technology areas. South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore have all done that. So have the Germans and the Dutch and the Swiss. The Americans obviously have done some of that, but not nearly enough. But my point is that the Portugese had one economic model that was dominant for many years–colonialism. But they never seem to have built the next economic model that will generate wealth. I think the same is true of Spain, southern Italy and Greece. The Northern Italians have figured it out. Until the Portugese can make a transition to this new model, they are going to be dependent on the mercies of foreigners for a long time to come.

Can we call Portland an arts-friendly city…
when many music venues force musicians to choose between either hauling heavy gear for blocks or breaking the law?
- when parking permits for musicians are obscure, expensive, or both?
- when parking enforcers specifically and intentionally wait to ticket musicians loading their equipment in/out?
Portland musicians decided at Town Hall meetings that the problem was bad enough to make the focus of our current campaign.
Together, they made a plan. Here it is:
Collect info
(see survey, next page)
Identify trouble spots
Gather musicians' stories
You can see the results so far here.
- Get more people involved
to help spread the survey, put up posters, make videos,
gather more stories, put pressure on officials if need be, and participate in the show.
- The Show: Meet with Portland City Officials
Show of strength and support: Fill a room with participating musicians
Present primary documents (e.g. survey results, petition)
Tell them how the current system is not working for musicians,
and how it needs to change.
This is fixable, if we — that includes you — turn complaints into real action. The first step is taking the survey.

Information about Mount Marty College placement tests, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Mount Marty College advanced placement exam information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Mount Marty College.
For multiple-choice tests like the SAT Test or ACT Exam, look at the number of questions and the total number of minutes you're allowed. If there are more minutes than questions, you have over a minute for each. However, if there are more questions than minutes, you better scramble, as you have under a minute on each question. Round off all numbers you see, and look for tips in the test questions that point you to the correct answer. Look for word patterns in the vocabulary section, and in the math section, saving just a few seconds on each test question can lead to a much higher math score.
Exams are a huge portion of your final grade, and every professor will let you know in their own way which questions will be on the final exam. They may raise the pitch of their voice when stressing certain points, show slide presentations, or write course material on the blackboard. On the test day itself, arrive early after a good night's sleep, and pick a seat near the windows in order to get sunlight and oxygen. Trust your first instincts, and don't change your mind on a second pass. Beyond degree requirements such as Mount Marty College test preparation, you may consider Southwest Tennessee Community College course load for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
