This update on Georgia Driver's License Administrative License Suspension Law is written AFTER the latest change in Georgia DUI laws effective for all arrests made July 1, 2008 and after. Unless specially stated in these video clips, the SAME law (for administrative suspensions) also applies to all arrests made since July 1, 2001 (this was another major revision of Georgia's DUI statutes). The new D.U.I. law in Georgia starting with arrests made July 1, 2008 and after changed the CRIMINAL PENALTY "lookback" term to 10 years, but did not change the Georgia Administrative License Suspension [ALS] Laws, which still utilize a 5 year "lookback" period in determining whether a driver is a "repeat" offender. See Mr. Head's copyrighted "DUI Punishment" Grid available on full color for your review or easy download and printing off of a personal copy at www.DUI.tv/galaws.pdf.
If you are ultimately convicted of DUI, a license suspension or revocation WILL occur in 100% of DUI cases, if your arresting officer follows Georgia laws. Hence, before the criminal case ever gets started and before you have made a "first appearance", other Georgia laws relating to breath testing, blood testing or urine testing (or, if the arresting officer requests, two or more types of tests) trigger one of TWO TYPES of pre-trial administrative suspension "action" against the licenses of virtually every person arrested for DUI in Georgia. This rule is applicable whether you possess a Georgia driver's license or one issued by another state, the arresting officer is required to confiscate (pick up) your plastic operator's license. This administrative suspension can be and often IS more devastating to an accused impaired driver in GA than the potential suspension that occurs in the criminal case for DUI first offender, if a DUI conviction does later happen. If arrested for D.U.I. in the State of Georgia, statutes mandate that you should be issued one of two types of notices of suspension of your license. You will either be issued a Form DS-1205 (issued in about 97% of DUI arrests) OR a Form DS-1127 (issued in about 2% of DUI arrests). The forms look and ARE completely different in their APPEARANCE and their PURPOSE.
When a DUI arrest is made in Georgia, the arresting officer is compelled by State laws to take away (confiscate) your plastic license and issue a pre-conviction, written notice of a proposed, IMMEDIATE driver's license suspension action. Usually, it is the Form DS-1205. This form is commonly referred to by lawyers who are DUI specialists (and by police officers who handle DUI arrests) as "a 1205 form" or "a DS-1205 form." Click on the hyperlink to see an sample of this State-issued pre-printed, 8½" by 11", yellow-colored form (called a DS-1205) [CLICK on this link to see the PDF version of this blank form, plus a copy of the Arresting Officer's Instructions to follow in completing and filing the Form Ds-1205 and the Arrested Driver's Instructions]. This form can be compared to the papers you received (or should have received) after your arrest, so you can read the notice --- front and back --- to see what you are facing.
For any driver arrested for DUI, and who either (1) took the State's official breath test and produced a numerical result UNDER the legal limit [applicable to that driver, based on age (either under age 21 or 21 & over) and type vehicle (commercial or non-commercial) being operated] OR (2) the officer asked the driver to submit to a type of testing which would not produce an immediate numerical result [blood, urine or both], a different form should be issued. This Form DS-1127 is not a full sheet of paper, but is (instead) a small sticker with an adhesive backing that is affixed to the lower part of the DUI "citation" (traffic ticket). This DS-1127 serves as your driving permit for 180 days. It can be extended beyond the 180 day period, but that requires action by your attorney through a petition with the criminal court judge.
The DS-1205 Form outlines the officer's options for issuing the intent to seek an immediate administrative suspension of your GA license or (if licensed elsewhere, your driving privileges in Georgia) PRIOR TO the criminal case ever being resolved. The Form DS-1205 offers boxes for the officer to "check off" his or her reason [for either "refusing" the State tests OR "blowing over the legal limit"] for seeking the suspension. The issuance of this form MANDATES that you file a written appeal to the proposed suspension WITHIN TEN [10] BUSINESS DAYS.
The officer usually asks you to acknowledge the pending action against your license by having you sign the document near the bottom of the Form DS-1205. Once you sign it, the Arresting Officer will sign it and (in doing so) AUTHORIZE you to take advantage of temporary driving privileges sanctioned by GA laws. You should be given the yellow copy of this multi-part form to take with you, since your plastic license is being confiscated and sent to Georgia DDS. Typically, this issuance of the Form DS-1205 happens while you are being processed at the detention center (jail) where you were taken for booking, and (possibly) the administering of the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath testing being offered (if applicable). Shortly after this, you will be turned over to the jailers at the detention facility. In some very rare instances, the arresting officer will issue the Form DS-1205 at the roadway for a person who has already said "I refuse" or otherwise indicated that he or she will not submit to the requested testing at the station.
Some arrested drivers refuse to sign the DS-1205 Form. They insist on speaking to an attorney first, or are just mad at their general predicament. Georgia's highest court has ruled that you do not have the right to ask an attorney for advice before either submitting to official implied consent testing or refusing to be tested. This failure to sign the Form DS-1205 accomplishes nothing, and possibly could mean that you have no temporary right to drive is you refuse to sign the Form DS-1205. We can help cure that problem by filing an immediate appeal of the pending suspension. Call our 24-Hour Hotline at 404-250-1113 or Toll Free at 877-384-4367.
If you miss the 10-business day deadline to appeal, you may have totally squandered one of your best leverage points for contesting your entire DUI prosecution. The appeal sets up an ALS Hearing date, which is typically scheduled about 60 days after your date of arrest. If you miss the filing deadline (10 business days after arrest), then no hearing will be scheduled and your right to drive ENDS on the 31st day after your arrest for DUI. More is explained about this below.
In a nutshell, this is how you count "business" days. First, you START counting days on the next calendar day AFTER the actual date you are arrested, so long as that day is NOT a Saturday, Sunday, or State holiday. Weekend days and STATE holidays (not federal holidays) are NOT counted as "business days". The appeal must either be RECEIVED at DDS [Department of Driver Services] Headquarters in Conyers, Georgia, or must bear an OFFICIAL U.S. Postmark date on or before that last day. Use of a confirmed FAX of the appeal [678-413-8450] to DDS is possible, but a second method of delivery, with signed proof of delivery, to DDS Headquarters in Conyers is our DUI law firm's preferred way of dealing with these EXTREMELY important matters. Dual methods of delivery are utilized by our firm in all cases.
In Georgia, your DUI lawyer must first defend you against this immediate administrative loss of your license (or privilege to drive in Georgia), AND also investigate and prepare to fight the criminal DUI case later. These two RELATED BUT SEPARATE proceedings SHOULD be coordinated and handled by ONE attorney who is fully versed in DUI law and procedure. That person needs to be a D.U.I. specialist, who understands the interrelationship of both proceedings and attacks both legal proceedings in a "comprehensive and cohesive fashion." If no other advice is followed in these video clips, DO NOT try to handle the administrative hearing or merely walk in alone, expecting to "ask for" a continuance. You will likely LOSE that hearing, because you did not follow the Rules of the Office of State Administrative Hearings (OSAH). Your actions at this early stage of the case could take away ALL of your rights to drive for twelve (12) full months, or possibly longer.
The reason for initiation of this separate administrative action against your license is that the federal government made such actions against an accused DUI driver's license mandatory about 30 years ago. All states now have an "implied consent" law that controls these separate civil-type actions against driving privileges and most states have a verbally-administered or a written "implied consent" advisement or BOTH. Under federal highway funding statutes, States that did not comply with passing such laws would lose federal highway money for not enacting statutes to suspend or revoke drivers' licenses when a breath or blood test "over the limit" is given as part of a DUI arrest, OR if a person REFUSES to provide a "chemical test" after being reasonably suspected of being a DUI driver. All states have complied and passed these laws.
Some administrative suspensions, those for REFUSALS, are HARD suspensions in Georgia, meaning that no "work permit" is available IF you lose the administrative hearing on the issue of "refusal." This rule on refusals is applicable for ANY offender --- first DUI arrestees or anyone else. This "HARD" suspension may also be applicable for "per se" (cases where you were previously arrested for DUI and submitted to testing but had a result "over the legal limit"), but only if you have had a prior per se administrative suspension entered against you for an arrest made within five (5) years of the last DUI arrest that resulted in an administrative suspension for "blowing" over the legal limit.
For either refusing to submit to the requested "chemical test" (blood, breath or urine or any combination of these the arresting officer requests) or blowing a breath test result over the legal limit after you were properly given the legal admonishment (i.e., the officer read you the correct implied consent warning about what would happen to your Georgia license or privilege to drive in Georgia, for licensees from other states). "Proper advisement" requires a TIMELY and COMPLETE reading of the ORANGE-COLORED card that carries one of three "implied consent" advisements". This is a legal notice set forth in the Georgia code that operates on the "legal fiction" that (by using the State highways) you thereby authorized any police officer who reasonably suspects you of driving while being intoxicated, to demand your submission to a proper, legal evidential sobriety test [the officer gets to elect which TYPE or TYPES of OFFICIAL testing] of your bodily "substances." Your refusal to be tested or if you submit to the state-administered OFFICIAL test or tests, and you have an alcohol content AT OR ABOVE the applicable legal limit triggers the ALS action against your license. If this "feels" like legal coercion, it is. However, the practice has been approved by the United States Supreme Court in the Sandstrom case in 1983. Since 1983, Georgia's courts have allowed evidence of your "refusal" to submit to testing to be put into evidence in front of a jury or judge hearing your criminal trial.
An administrative license suspension [ALS] appeal is a written challenge to the officer's legal action to administratively suspend your license for either your (1) REFUSAL to submit to an official, approved form of sobriety testing or (2) IF you submitted to the officer's official testing, that your BAC [blood or breath alcohol level] from such tests was at or above the per se legal limit. The legality of the DUI criminal arrest and proper and timely reading of implied consent advisements has been the source of several dozen successful appeals to Georgia's appellate courts over the past 35 years, when trial judges first denied the licensee's request that the DUI "refusal" or the DUI per se breath results be excluded (thrown out of court). Your DUI attorney should be familiar with these key cases, if he or she specializes in DUI practice.
Before being informed that you are being (or have been) arrested for DUI, TAKE NO FIELD SOBRIETY EVALUATIONS, including the hand-held alcohol screening test, because all these roadside tests are VOLUNTARY and carry NO PENALTY and NO LOSS OF LICENSE under Georgia law for politely saying, "No, thanks." An "OFFICIAL" test is one that has a PRINTED "evidentiary" result, and can be submitted to a judge or jury. The Intoxilyzer 5000 breath alcohol testing instrument (machine) is the only OFFICIAL evidentiary breath device approved in GA. No roadside tests of balance, ABC recital, follow-the-finger (or pen) eye examination or counting are REQUIRED to protect your right to drive or to keep your license in Georgia. These are NOT "evidentiary" tests, but the roadside "evaluations" CAN and often DO create a greater likelihood of conviction. Plus, scientific studies have revealed that these roadside evaluations are "designed to fail" and are NOT scientific, due to the number of variables that can cause false-positive readings and false-negative readings. Starting off with "negative" video footage of you failing these evaluations (the officer's words) not a good starting point for a DUI arrest that is being captured on video approximately 90% of the time in GA.
Issues relating to persons not licensed in Georgia at the time of their DUI arrest in Georgia are complex and virtually unique to each case. These issues center around whether future driving in Georgia is important to that person, whether the person needs his or her license to be free of a DUI conviction (to save a job, for example), whether ANY prior DUIs have ever been part of his or her driving history, and many other considerations. A refusal to be tested can (and often does) render all driving privileges within Georgia totally suspended for the out-of-state license holder, and MAY also take away his or her privileges in the home state. Georgia laws relating to DUI arrests and license issues provide that the Director of the Georgia Department of Driver Services MUST send notification of a final decision (by the Administrative Law Judge handling your ALS case) of a decision holding that you REFUSED to submit to state-administered tests OR a civil (administrative) per se DUI violation for testing "above the legal limit" following an arrest for D.U.I. If a non-resident licensee loses the all-important administrative hearing, he or she WILL have a high probability that any notice of the "refusal" to be tested (or a per se alcohol reading over the state BAC limit) will ultimately be sent to their home state, which can trigger a suspension or revocation in that jurisdiction. For any person arrested in Georgia for DUI, it would be wise to read Mr. Head's copyrighted "Driver's Rights Card" which is available for viewing or printing off in full color at: www.DUI.tv/gadriversrights.pdf
Submitting to the OFFICIAL chemical test of your blood, breath or urine entitles you to request to be taken to any and all TYPES of additional tests that you want, and from qualified personnel of your own choosing. Your refusal to take the State's OFFICIAL tests BLOCKS you from being assisted by police personnel in demanding any type of independent test or tests. The police or jailers MUST "reasonably" accommodate your requests. YOU get to choose where (within reason -- even in an adjacent county) you want to be taken for purposes of gathering your own independent evidence of your alcohol readings or (if given blood or urine tests by the officer) your own evidence of your prescribed or illegal drug levels from an analysis of your blood, breath or urine (or all three, if your request it and designate WHERE you wish to be taken and PAY FOR all types of testing). You need to be prepared to pay for any and all tests you request, and can ask permission to be taken to an ATM for cash, or to call a friend or family member who resides close by, who can bring money or a means of payment for any or all tests you desire.
The OFFICIAL tests on an Intoxilyzer 5000 Breath Test Machine (or, when blood or urine are collected, at a hospital) are ONLY given in one of three places, [with extremely rare exceptions]: (a) at the police station or jail (the breath testing machine is a silver and black, tabletop, typewriter-sized device with a black, cylindrical breath test collection tube mounted on the left side as you face the machine. Official testing in Georgia is done ONLY on the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath testing machines (GA uses both the 768-00 devices and the 768-01 or 768EN devices) that are plugged into a 115-volt wall socket, or (b) at a hospital (blood or urine) --- often after an accident or where the officer suspects that possibly drugs are involved or he/she cannot locate a breath test operator to administer your breath test or (c) a breath test can be administered in a specially-wired mobile van [referred to as a "BATmobile", which stands for Breath Alcohol Testing Mobile Unit] that has an Intoxilyzer 5000 breath testing device securely fastened to a shelf inside.
The Intoxilyzer 5000 machine is plugged in and becomes operational via its 115-volt plug. The outlet that generates power for the machine is powered by a special electrical converter inside these mobile vans. The converter takes the energy from the automobile engine and "conditions" the electrical energy into a grounded AC outlet supplying 115 volts of electricity. These BATmobile vehicles are expensive, and are usually only found in major metropolitan areas such as City of Atlanta, Gwinnett County and a few other high population areas. Furthermore, the presence of RFI (radio frequency interference) from police radios, nearby remote microphone devices, power generators and compressors of buildings nearby, communication towers or antennas, cell phones, Blue Tooth devices and similar devices can create false high readings or cause temporary shut-down of devices inside these mobile testing vans.
An appeal is triggered by sending or delivering a request for hearing, which has to be done within ten (10) business days after your arrest date. At this hearing, which is RECORDED, you may attend with your counsel or you may even represent yourself (usually, representing yourself in such an important legal proceeding a VERY foolhardy decision). The law does permit your attorney to proceed without you being present at most types of ALS hearings, but (in order to secure continued driving privileges for you, if a continuance of the hearing date is needed) your attorney may ask you to be present. Occasionally, you may need to testify at this hearing, and that will require that you be subject to cross-examination (being questioned) by the opposing side. In most cases, our attorneys do not have our clients testify, unless it is unavoidable.
A Georgia DUI Charge Usually Triggers Two Separate Legal Proceedings
This means your attorney will have to challenge different types of legal issues in two different court cases, with two different judges. The ALS proceeding is heard by a Georgia Administrative Judge from OSAH (Office of State Administrative Hearings). This proceeding has a lower standard for the State's "burden of proof" than the State will have in a criminal prosecution. At a criminal DUI trial, the applicable standard is "proof beyond a reasonable doubt", the highest standard of proof for any legal proceeding in the world. Aside from the traditional criminal prosecution, which most people understand and expect, the administrative license suspension will determine whether you will suffer a pre-trial loss of license for either refusing to take the test, or for submitting to the test at the station and having a result "over the legal limit."
Understanding the Relationship between the ALS Appeal and the Criminal Proceedings
This is how the two proceedings relate to each other. Driving on the roads in Georgia is a privilege, not a right. By possessing a Georgia driver's license [or a license issued by another state] you agree to submit to chemical testing if a police officer reasonably believes that you are intoxicated. The "chemical test" (this is how Georgia laws phrase it) may be an analysis of blood, breath or urine. Failure to submit to the requested OFFICIAL tests(s) [which always happen AFTER your ARREST] will virtually ALWAYS result in an administrative (civil proceeding) license suspension action being sought against your license. In such cases, the arresting officer issues the Form DS-1205 and checks off the box stating that you "refused" to be tested.
The purpose of the issuance of the DS-1205 is the IMMEDIATE taking away of your right to drive [i.e., before the criminal case actually gets resolved at trial]. Your criminal case will come up in the criminal court assigned to oversee your prosecution at a later date and time. This ALS action is civil in nature, not criminal. The origin of these laws was spawned by MADD in the early 1980s as the organization pushed Congress and former President Reagan to take national action to deter impaired driving. Congress eventually obtained full national compliance by threatening states that did not enact ALS laws with loss of millions of dollars in annual federal highway improvement funds.
You have 10 business days after your arrest date to file an appeal. In counting the days, Day 1 is the next calendar day. All days that are state holidays and weekend days are NOT counted as "business" days. This appeal must be in written form, raising the applicable legal challenges to your pending administrative suspension. It must be "filed" (delivered) to DDS in Conyers, GA according to Georgia law, which is explained further below.
To assure "delivery", the challenge must be filed by certified mail (U. S. postmark date) or by hand delivery to the Georgia DDS in Conyers. If hand delivered ALWAYS get a signed receipt for your delivery. Other methods of delivery (FedEX, UPS, confirmed facsimile) can be used, but you MUST have proof that the appeal was timely "filed". Missing the 10 business day deadline usually is a matter that is not "appealable". Plus, this failure to request a hearing can cost you the right to drive for 1 full year or longer, and possibly with no chance to obtain a "work permit" (conditional license). The present fax number our office uses for DDS is 678-413-8450. Remember, however, that we follow up with a U.S. mail certified delivery letter, to DOUBLE deliver this important appeal.
An administrative suspension triggered by the officer proving that you refused to submit to being tested after having been lawfully arrested and advised of your legal obligation to supply a breath, blood or urine sample can be particularly damaging to your right to drive in Georgia. Incidentally, attempts by DUI arrestees to demand a DUI attorney's advice first, or to continue to say, "I don't understand the implied consent warning" will NOT be effective. Appellate cases in Georgia say that you can be declared as having "refused" testing BY YOUR CONDUCT, including merely not speaking and never saying that you will submit to testing. If you do not successfully challenge the legitimacy of the proposed suspension, by filing a written, timely ALS appeal, and successfully pursue that challenge, NO LIMITED (WORK) PERMIT is available for you. At no point of the DUI prosecution is a skilled attorney's help more valuable to you. Winning or successfully negotiating a "withdrawal" of the proposed administrative license suspension is critical to success at the criminal case, which arises later.
If you have had a new DUI arrest and triggered another administrative suspension [a second (2nd) ALS action] within in the last 5 years, and that case also resulted in a DUI criminal conviction against you, this will count as a second (2nd) administrative license suspension against your driver's license. Your license can be administratively suspended for 3 years on a second ALS "loss" that occurs within a 5-year period (date-of-arrest to date-of-arrest). No "work permit" [limited driving permit] is allowed in such instances. This "per se" situation applies where you took the requested implied consent test and had a breath test reading above the legal limit (0.08% is the applicable per se standard for drivers who are age 21 when arrested and who are not operating a commercial motor vehicle). The per se standard under Georgia law for drivers under age 21 is 0.02% and is 0.04% for drivers operating a commercial motor vehicle.
Three or more ALS actions [per se readings obtained pursuant to implied consent advisements being given within a 5-year time frame (dates-of-arrest to dates-of-arrest) will prompt a 5-year administrative revocation with no limited permit available. This assumes that you had convictions or nolo contendere pleas entered against you in the two earlier D.U.I. arrests, and a third (3rd) arrest for DUI in GA has now been made. Losing the ALS here creates a REVOCATION of the license (total loss) and only by "winning" the DUI criminal case will you get your license restored. This puts a premium on choosing the best qualified DUI attorneys in Georgia.
It is vital to remember that any administrative license suspension action is a separate, civil component to the criminal prosecution you are facing. A DUI conviction can mean much more in terms of punishment and loss of future opportunities than any administrative license suspension. A DUI criminal conviction will create a multitude of additional penalties that overshadow any short-term loss of driving privileges from an ALS suspension. A DUI conviction can NEVER be EXPUNGED in Georgia, absent proof that the conviction was incorrectly entered on your record (e.g., another person used your license and was arrested and later convicted under your identity). Therefore, asking about expungement (sic) [expunction is the proper word, since "expungement" is not a word] is not an effective strategy AFTER you have pleaded guilty or been found guilty of DUI. Focus on winning the DUI or getting the criminal DUI case reduced, not on trying to undo a conviction from your prior GUILTY plea, which (like concrete) gets more and more hardened as time goes forward. By getting the criminal case reduced or dismissed, any ALS action --- even for repeat administrative license suspensions or a revocation – gets cleared immediately. See the chart showing minimum penalties for your DUI charge, if convicted, at www.DUI.tv/galaws.pdf for details.

What you need to know about measles
These are the signs and symptoms to look out for.
Several outbreaks of measles across NSW have brought the highly contagious disease back into the spotlight.
Measles can be passed on by just being in the same room as an infected person so it's worth knowing exactly what the disease is, how to identify the symptoms and what you can do to protect your family.
What causes measles?
Measles is caused by a virus that lives in the mouth and nose of infected kids. When they coughs or sneeze, the virus becomes airborne, making the disease so contagious that just being in the same room with an infected child can result in your child contracting the disease.
Is measles serious?
Complications from measles can be serious. About one third of kids who get measles will have complications such as ear infections, diarrhoea or pneumonia. Serious complications may include encephalitis.
Can I prevent measles?
The best way to prevent measles is by having your child vaccinated with two doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine. The vaccine is given at 12 months and again at four years. If your child develops measles, keep him home until he is no longer infectious – about four days after the rash appears.
How to spot measles. Source: Kidspot
How do I know if my child has measles?
Measles is characterised by a tell-tale rash, which usually starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Other symptoms which can come on earlier include:
- fever
- generally feeling unwell
- a runny nose or a sniffle
- sore, red eyes
- a dry cough
- spots inside the mouth
How do I treat measles?
There really is no specific treatment for measles. If you know your child has been exposed to measles and has not been vaccinated, you may still be able to prevent the infection by having him vaccinated within 72 hours of exposure. If your child does develop measles, just keep him comfortable until his symptoms go away. Use paracetamol for fever, body aches and headache and keep him away from other kids so the illness doesn't spread.
Should I call the doctor?
Since measles is very contagious, you should notify people your child has had contact with. Doctors, childcare centres and schools have to notify the government whenever a case of measles has been confirmed to prevent the spread to other people.
What you need to know about measles
- Measles is a serious disease that has all but been eliminated due to vaccination.
- Measles is prevented by the MMR vaccine.
- A measles infection lasts about 10 days.
- Measles is so contagious you can get it from just being in the same room as an infected person.
What Happens When You Get the Measles?

When you're a New Yorker, you have to learn how to balance.
Balance your primal need for nature/stars with your very human desire to be shoulder to shoulder with people you have no intention of communicating with. Balance six bags if groceries five blocks and three flights of stairs while digging out your keys without sending produce flying everywhere. Balance on the subway so you don't end up in a homeless man's lap. Balance the fact that you live within walking distance of the best pizza in the world with the fact that you don't want to be obese. Balance your love of the bright shiny lights of Times Square with your unadulterated hatred of tourists who walk too slowly.
Even your outfits have to be balanced – somehow, you have to dress for walking a mile in 80 degree heat and for an office kept as cold as a walk-in freezer. Or, in the winter, you have to dress for walking a mile in below freezing winds and for a subway that could double as a sauna.
Though, balance isn't something that's unique to New York. I'm sure that no matter where you are, you have to balance business and pleasure, having fun and being able to pay your rent, your growing pile of dirty clothes and your abhorrence for doing laundry.
It gets stressful sometimes, you feel like picking up one thing will make you drop another. You don't want to take on too much but you want to do it all. Sometimes you put something down to help even things out, but then you forget about it. You stumble across it later under a layer of dust and have to decide if you can pick it back up again. Have to decide if it will steady you or if it will make you tip over.
You also have to balance the people in your life. Figure out who's making it harder to stand tall. Decide who's pulling you down when they stumble and can't balance, as opposed to those who just need a little lift here and there. Discover who will be there when you need a shoulder to keep you from toppling.
It's not about right or wrong, it's not 'not enough' or 'too much'. It's just all about balance.
I think Dr. Suess said it best…and caps it off with his signature dose of optimism.
Be certain you step with caution and tact, 'cause life is one great big balancing act! And will you succeed? You will, yes indeed! Ninety eight and three quarters percent guaranteed!

Jerica and Herb were unaware of each other: that may seem impossible, but in the Venn diagram of the power structure of the powers that be, Sambal was their only intersection. While they had met several thousand times they were coolly unaware of the other's very existence. It worked like that.
Sambal had known Jerica since they were pups, but that didn't mean he couldn't fear her. She was in with the powers now, working with all the loyalty they deserved. She had taken him, so it must have been of their will. But there had been no consequences for him; at least none that he could grasp.
He felt unbound by limitations, but knew their frayed edges nipped at him: That was her influence.
He felt groggy from the atmospherics he had ingested under her extended supervision: that was her fault, but Sambal could not shed the glimmer of a sensation that he had deserved the retaliation.
He still felt attached to The Flow; he knew he had succumbed to its will now, but feigned rebellion
Herb continued to be a revelation; his awakening would have resembled a factory reset if anyone had known how the mystical fucker had started out. Sambal suspected shenanigans, but accepted it.
Sambal looked in the mirror as the mission parameters kicked in: he had plotted the route while still in The Flow, assuming that she was aware. Herb had set up the contacts in a reverse pattern, so his synapses were generating more noise than signal: it was an effort of will to make them make sense.
The blocks of the pattern had been mapped to the local environment: Sambal had chosen a set of dumpling shops and a nail house as the key intersections; now he just had to avoid going to them.
Except Herb was hungry again: Or had he never satiated his hunger in the first place? Hard to tell.
Crossing the line of intersection between two pattern blocks would initiate a trigger; entering that block would turn it in to a node. Hit more than three nodes and the whole thing would light up like a Christmas tree doused in hair lacquer. Sambal's fingers were crossed that Jerica still loved Gyoza.
Herb sucked meet from the bones of a pile of chicken feet and chuckled to himself as he watched an old kid's cartoon from the century before. It made no sense to Sambal, but the bright colours kept the big man happy. Sambal sipped at a bowl of miso, unable to stomach anything tougher today.
It didn't take long for a trigger to be initiated; he had planned it so that she would do that just by walking through the neighbourhood. It took a little longer for the nodes to start coming in. They had a destination now; they needed to move: as expected, this would come to a head in the nail house.
Herb's eyes flashed: he hoisted his partner onto his granite shoulders and started moving at speed.
They understood that she was after them, but she had no motive to act in the way she did. Not that they could see at least. Was she sent back as a warning? Had she been working on her own? Neither option made a whole lot of sense, but Sambal couldn't bring any others to mind. Jerica the enigma.
Eight lanes of highway, spinning off and back in through myriad brightly lit intersections; a grimy dot of flint sat at its epicentre, gathering the fumes of the cars and the ignominy of the listless travellers.
She saw them coming: of course she did. She knew what they had set up: of course she did. None of her motives were anything like any of Sambal's stupid assumptions: of course they weren't. Laser light flooded the compound as the reality fled from Sambal's vision. He was back in Spain, bleeding.

Nadine Dorries, a Mid-Bedfordshire Conservative MP, has come under fire for her lax approach to security, sharing her password with her staff, as she sought to describe this behaviour as typical in Westminster when trying to defend her colleague, MP and First Secretary of State Damian Green,
Dorries stepped up to defend Green after he was accused of having porngraphy on his computer by saying "My staff log onto my computer on my desk with my login everyday. Including interns on exchange programmes. For the officer on @BBCNews just now to claim that the computer on Green's desk was accessed and therefore it was Green is utterly preposterous !!"
People were quick to slate Dorries for this comment saying that as a woman known by the public and as a member of Parliament it is not safe to share your password and give it out to many people as it could leak information if it fell into the wrong hands.However again Dorries responded to these comments with, "Flattered by number of people on here who think I'm part of the Government and have access to government docs I'm a backbench MP - 2 Westminster-based computers in a shared office. On my computer, there is a shared email account. That's it. Nothing else. Sorry to disappoint!" suggesting that even if she did get hacked there would be nothing secret to share from her computer.
Another MP, Nick Boles also commented that he shares his login details with his staff and so this does indeed seem to be wider than just Dorries, hence hackers could access private Parliamentary data more easily than first thought because of the way in which they are sharing information.
To weigh in on the issue, Steve Schult, senior director product management of LastPass commented in an email to SC Media UK: "It's a familiar scene: when a high profile security incident such as MPs sharing passwords with employees happens, industry professionals line up to place the blame squarely at the door of humans. While humans are a key component in the security chain, we must take a more nuanced approach to understanding the technological reasons behind this. In short, it comes down to convenience versus disrupting workflow. If security ends up hindering how an employee carries out day-to-day tasks, they will be less inclined to follow best security practices, as seen in the case of Nadine Dorries."
"Keeping passwords safely stored should be a concern for everyone, MPs included, which is why using an encrypted vault is the most convenient and secure way to keep track of each unique password across accounts. A password manager such as LastPass only requires you to memorise a single passphrase to serve as your master password, because the rest are locked up inside the LastPass vault. Also, you can securely share passwords with employees without compromising confidential data, which can be useful for departments and those who need to access a variety of work tools."
Jay Coley, senior director of security planning and strategy, EMEA at Akamai emailed SC to say, "Recent revelations of MPs sharing their passwords with their whole teams are high-profile examples of best-practice failures that are endemic in business. People are now the number one threat to business security so, when best practice fails, technology has to step in to give businesses control over their security. Businesses today need to adopt a Zero Trust approach to security where users log in to access applications rather than networks. This can dramatically reduce the impact of a breach as abused credentials are limited in their reach. We would like to see MPs leading by example and showing UK businesses how to protect themselves and position themselves for success on the international market."

In 1987, Fr. John Lugowski, O.F.M. Conv., plead guilty to sexually abusing a 10 year old boy. He served eight months of his one year sentence in the Broome County jail. Fr. Lugowski admitted to sexually abusing five boys between approximately 1981 and 1987.
Fr. John Lugowski was ordained in 1976 and worked at St. Joseph's in Endicott, New York from approximately 1982 to 1984. In 1984, the Franciscan order transferred Fr. Lugowski from St. Joseph's to a parish in New Jersey. In 1989, Fr. Lugowski left the Franciscan order and went on to become a computer programmer in New Jersey. He is believed to be residing in Point Pleasant Boro, New Jersey.

We're looking for people from our community who wish to be considered to be one of our Temptations of the month! At PDXScene Magazine we embrace body positivity and diversity so if you're interested in being one of our temptations… we would love to talk to you.
First though a word…
Not everyone can be a Temptation. You must be a member of the Ethical Non-monogamy Community, or the Kink/BDSM Community, or the LGBTQ community. We're looking for real people from our communities.
As a Temptation, we require that you submit to a photoshoot with one of our talented, professional photographers. Expect that your photoshoot will be seductive if not provocative. We strive to make you look your best, but we want to capture that sexier side of you and yes… we do expect some nudity … even if we keep it somewhat implied.
No… we cannot hide your face or obscure your identity. As a Temptation of the Month, you are the face of our community for a month. The idea behind being a Temptation of the Month is to show how positively "normal" we are… We do not have to use your real name… using a stage name is fine.
Likewise, we will also want to do an interview with you, to get to know you, and learn about your history in the lifestyle, your philosophies, and your boundaries and rules you may have with your partners. We then will "write your story" in a way that is engaging and captivating and uplifting but does give intimate details about who you are and what you do in our community. This can be VERY revealing for someone who is not "out" to their friends and family.
We also expect our Temptation of the Month to be present for our First Thursday Distribution Event at Club Privata. It is a free entry event to the public and our readers love to be able to pick up their copies and meet and greet with the model, and possibly even grab an autograph and a photo. Think of this as part of your modeling experience… its a lot of fun to play model for a day, and be social and meet people.
If… with all of this in mind, you're still on board… use the form below to send us some information about you, so we can get you started. This form feeds a database from which we will pull our models' information so even if we've spoken to you about modeling, or if you've filled out the form on the Lovelines website… please fill out your info again here so we don't lose you in the shuffle.
One last thing… if we don't contact you right away, don't fret. We get a fair number of applications and we cannot reach out to everyone. When we're ready to schedule you, we will contact you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We're looking forward to including you in our magazine and making you one of our Temptations!

PROFITS TUMBLE AT EUROPEAN BANKS UBS said its second-quarter profit dropped 14 percent from a year earlier because uncertainty in financial markets was weighing on its wealth management and investment banking businesses.
Like Credit Suisse the day before, the bank was cautious about risks ahead. "Sustained market volatility, underlying macroeconomic uncertainty and heightened geopolitical tensions, exacerbated by the impact of the U.K. referendum vote to end E.U. membership, will lead to continued client risk aversion and generally low transaction volumes," it said. Lower-than-anticipated interest rates and the strength of the Swiss franc were also expected to create difficulties.
The British bank Barclays also reported a drop in profits, of 41 percent. Its chief executive, James E. Staley, said the bank saw no reason to adjust its strategy of focusing on its British consumer bank and the corporate and investment bank in light of Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
BLOCKBUSTER EARNINGS FROM GOOGLE AND AMAZON Thursday was a bonanza for Google and Amazon, which both reported blockbuster results and showed their dominance – on phones for Google and in the cloud for Amazon.
Google's revamped ad formats helped drive revenue to $21.5 billion in the second quarter – a 21 percent jump from a year earlier and more than analysts had predicted. These results show that the near future still looks rosy for the company, although some analysts say that Google will need to do some innovation close to home as the rewards from its moonshot projects are still some time away.
Amazon, which began renting access to computers and software in its data centers over a decade ago, reported operating income of $718 million from its web services business – more than the profit of $305 million made a year ago and more than the profits from its North American retail business. Still, the retail business is also growing speedily, with revenue in North America jumping 28 percent.
ON THE AGENDA The Commerce Department will publish its first estimate of economic growth during the second quarter at 8:30 a.m. Merck, ExxonMobil and Chevron all report second-quarter earnings.
REDSTONE TRIAL SET FOR OCTOBER The legal battle over Sumner M. Redstone's mental capacity to make decisions about his media empire will take place in October at a Massachusetts court house. Judge George F. Phelan of Norfolk County Probate Court rejected a motion by Mr. Redstone's lawyers to dismiss the lawsuit but said there was no need for an immediate mental and physical examination, requesting past medical records instead.
Philippe P. Dauman and George S. Abrams, two longtime confidants of Mr. Redstone, were dismissed in May and they are challenging Mr. Redstone's mental capacity. Meanwhile, the fortunes of the Redstone family, Viacom and CBS are in limbo.

European Philharmonic of Switzerland EPOS
Conductor: John Fiore
Soloist: Aleksandr Shaikin - Laureat Concours Géza Anda 2015
Live recorded by Swiss Radio Espace 2 on 1st September 2015 during EPOS' residency at Septembre Musical Montreux.
The European Philharmonic of Switzerland (EPOS) was the "Orchestra in Residence" and celebrated an extraordinary debut at the 70th Edition of the classical music festival `Septembre Musical` in Montreux 2015. It succeeded the residency of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and performed four symphonic concerts, assembling 94 top-level musicians from 24 different countries. While most of the EPOS members are holding permanent or trial positions in Europe's leading symphony orchestras, Montreux`s unique environment enables them to realize an artistic work of sublime quality far away from their daily orchestra routine. The musicians are coming together in Montreux to continue the musical path and partnership they established during the last 15 years in the environment of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.

Path-Finding (Part 3) – A-Star
In the previous posts I've talked about the problem of finding a path and about the Dijkstra Algorithm.
Even if the Dijkstra algorithm finds always the shortest path between two points (when a possible path exists, of course), it may present some issues when used in games. Read More
Path-Finding (Part 2) – Dijkstra
In 1959, Edsger Wybe Dijkstra created an algorithm known as the "Shortest-Path Algorithm", which was (and still is) the basis for the creation of several other specific and improved algorithms. Read More

Vehicle Shipping Recommended as Alternative by Animal Professionals
It's a fair question: Should you try to bring your pets with you on an airline flight or have them transported by vehicle? While it may be quicker to stick them under your seat or in the plane's cargo hold, both veterinarians and the ASPCA recommend finding alternatives. Here's why:
Your pets won't have the same comforts as you. If they weigh 20 lbs. or less, pets can ride underneath your seat in an airline-approved carrier, but are not allowed to leave the carrier for any reason, including giving medication, feeding or accidents. Couple that restriction with the anxiety and confusion cats and dogs suffer while flying and you and your fellow passengers could be in for a long flight. Also, airlines consider your pet carrier your carry-on bag, so expect to check any luggage you'll have.
It gets worse for pets if they can't travel in the passenger area. The ASPCA has warned owners to find other means of transportation other than flying for all pets, but particularly larger animals. If your pets must travel in the plane's cargo section, there are several limitations of which you should be aware. Most airlines won't take cargo pets if conditions are too hot or too cold because of the health risk. Additionally, short-nosed dogs (like Bulldogs and Pugs) need special attention as they tend to have trouble breathing in certain conditions.
Also, airlines can limit the number of pets on a flight, so be mindful of this if you're traveling to and from large pet exhibitions or competitions. If you are connecting flights, there is a chance of your pets getting lost in the shuffle and delaying your trip.
If they're flying, every pet is required to have certain documentation that's not necessarily needed for someone transporting your pets in a vehicle. Federal law requires a veterinarian's health certificate, issued within 10 days before the flight, as well as proof of a current rabies vaccine. Puppies and kittens must also be at least eight weeks old to fly, and the American Veterinarian Association has advised pet owners to not administer sedatives during a flight due to the risk of nausea.
Instead of flying, consider hiring an online driver to transport your pets. They will get personal attention along the way: Dogs are walked, litter boxes are kept fresh and feeding and medication schedules are followed. Some drivers have even been known to allow smaller dogs to ride out of their carrier, and you can request pictures and updates from the driver during the course of the delivery to put your mind at ease.
Flying will also become easier for you because the regulations, paperwork and preparations you won't be necessary. Plus, you can choose a CitizenShipper driver you're comfortable with, who has experience transporting pets and has earned positive feedback from previous satisfied customers.
Need to ship a pet but don't want to put them through the ordeal of flying? CitizenShipper can help you out.

John W. Henry ready to lift Liverpool's standard after Luis Suárez furore
Trying to enjoy a family vacation, John W. Henry watched the final, radioactive fallout from the Luis Suárez affair settle on Anfield from Fort Lauderdale, deep in America's Sunshine State.
It is unlikely to have been a particularly restful holiday, such is the work that awaits him. Next week, Liverpool's principal, principled owner will fly to Merseyside, where the storm clouds gather.
Contrary to a popular perception too easily guided by soap opera narrative, the arpeggio of apologies issued by Suárez, his club, and Kenny Dalglish, the manager, on Sunday afternoon was not orchestrated by Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool's parent company.
There was no directive from Henry or his chairman, Tom Werner, that the Uruguayan's failure to shake hands with Patrice Evra at Old Trafford

Your shopping cart is empty!
Now it is no longer the world of small white shoes. Recently, it has become popular to wear small dirty shoes. Little dirty shoes with a star logo should be familiar to everyone.
Ggdb was founded in 2000 by a self-taught designer Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo. In addition to the two designer's love of fashion and art, the plinth of the brand lies in the fact that both of them have the spirit of Italian tradition and appreciate British style. Gallo and Rinaldo have not accepted orthodox fashion design and tailoring training. Their knowledge and skills were learned at different workshops early in the brand establishment. However, their lack of traditional training also made them bolder than usual designers to break boundaries and make new attempts. Golden Goose excels at recreating vintage materials into originals, combining traditional meticulous tailoring and dedication to detail to create stylish, comfortable and elegant men's and women's clothing, accessories and footwear.
The GGDB is priced at $400 or $100, because hand-made and 2cm raised cushions are particularly comfortable to wear and the price is naturally higher. "The Golden Goose Deluxe Brand was the first brand to upgrade the sneakers from streetwear to luxury, changing the fashion industry's view of this type of product," said its CEO, Roberta Benaglia. The Brand Communications Department has strict rules and emphasizes that it is not possible to write only the first two words because the meaning of "Deluxe Brand" is crucial - it is the essence of its success. A pair of worn-out sneakers that look undisguised can be sold for as much as RMB 3,000, or even tens of thousands. In some people's eyes, this is crazy, especially when it is attacked by Nike, Adidas and Valentino. In the field of shoes, how can such expensive and niche shoes be sold? However, Golden Goose Deluxe Brand has created a new path by relying on high-priced "dirty shoes."
"Today, the market regards us as a luxury street style leader brand, because we not only created the brand's 'casuality' in this category, but also became a symbol of leisurely elegance and casual luxury." Benaglia said: "Perhaps some luxury brands today, overexposed in terms of messaging and retailing, are at risk of becoming an overpriced commodity. The Golden Goose Deluxe Brand has moderation, never overexposed, in terms of sales channels. It's very picky. That's what it means for us to be extravagant today."
In contrast to other traditional luxury brands that are pursuing what they are trying to seize with young consumers, Benaglia told BoF that she would rather describe Golden Goose Deluxe Brand as an intergenerational modern brand. "Our modernity is also welcomed by both mature consumers and young consumers. It is suitable for Millennials and also for mature consumers. Compared with other luxury brands, we maintain the value of typical classic luxury, such as Value, the presence of iconic products (our sports shoes), but at the same time blending the concepts of luxury and street," she said: "The new generation, especially the new generation of China, is more open, more accustomed to travel and affected by the global market. The impact of the trend, so they immediately understand that we are a real brand, with real value: Made in Venice, inspired by travelers.
GGDB is so solid workmanship, high-end materials and alternative shapes, so that it stands out in a public brand. Do you think GGDB is a sports brand? Do not! It is a luxury. The successful branding of small dirty shoes and the persistence of quality are potential reasons for its success, and you deserve it.

Eat Stop Eat
Part of the problem is the relatively low level of physical activity of many people in Western countries. The dramatic increase in overweight and obesity between 1980 and 1998 shown in Figure 6.3 occurred at a time when average food consumption was static or decreasing. As discussed in section 126.96.36.199, the average physical activity level in Britain is only 1.4; physical activity accounts for only 40% more energy expenditure than basal metabolic rate. At the same time, food is always readily available, with an ever-increasing array of attractive snack foods, which are easy to eat, and many of which are high in fat and sugar.
Sometimes, the problem can be attributed to a low rate of energy expenditure despite a reasonable level of physical activity. There is a range of individual variation as much as 30% above and below the average BMR (section 126.96.36.199). This means that some people will have a very low BMR, and hence a very low requirement for food. Despite eating very little compared with those around them, they may gain weight. Equally, there are people who have a relatively high BMR and are able to eat a relatively large amount of food without gaining weight.
Lean people can increase their energy expenditure to match their food intake; leptin (section 1.3.2) increases the activity of mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (section 22.214.171.124). The result of this is an increased rate of metabolism of metabolic fuels and increased heat output from the body, especially after meals and while asleep.
Other people seem to be much more energy efficient, and their body temperature may drop slightly while they are asleep. This means that they are using less metabolic fuel to maintain body temperature, and so are able to store more as adipose tissue. Such people tend to be overweight. (This response, lowering body temperature and metabolic rate to conserve food, is seen in a more extreme form in animals that hibernate. During their long winter sleep these animals have a very low rate of metabolism, and hence a low rate of utilization of the fuel they have stored in adipose tissue reserves.)

When you're trying to establish yourself in the creative industries, there's nothing like securing a brand partnership and national media exposure to have your work put in front of a mass audience! It's how we first discovered Annie Everingham (her artwork was used on coffee cups) who has since gone on to become one of this country's hottest artists!
Duchess & Deco are on the hunt for Australia's next emerging creative and have teamed up with us to launch an exciting new competition!
Design competition
What's the design challenge
We're so excited to be running this design competition with Duchess & Deco to find their next umbrella design!
Duchess & Deco are passionate about helping you create unique and individual pieces of art — in the form of umbrellas, deck and director chairs, and tablecloths — for your home and garden.
They are looking for the next design to be added to their stunning 'Pool Umbrella' range and we want YOU to share your design!
"Whether you're a textile designer, artist, graphic designer or just enjoy being creative, this competition is an opportunity to showcase your work."
From 1-30 June 2017, we're calling all creatives to apply their unique design to this Adobe umbrella template (all 4 umbrella panels and the top panel) and email it to us email@example.com.
Important: It's important the files are fully vectored and the colours are Pantone + Solid Coated book colours (except the metallic colours) as appose to CMYK so the colours aren't distorted during the printing process. By emailing your design to us, you are confirming that you are the 'author' of the 'artistic work', that your design is original and in no way infringing on the intellectual property of another, and give permission for Duchess & Deco to make your design available on their website.
How will judging happen?
In the first week of July, we and the team at Duchess & Deco will review all the designs and select our favourite to become the next 'Pool Umbrella' design on their website.
You can view the current range of Pool umbrellas here.
We are looking for artistic expression, use of colour, new design ideas as well as marketability.
What will the winner receive?
The winner will of course receive their own Pool umbrella printed in their unique design (valued at $600!).
They will also receive full creative credit on the Duchess & Deco website and will have a winning design they can include in their portfolio of work.
At Style Curator we will feature the winner, sharing their incredible design and creative story (helping to connect you with loads of other possible partnership opportunities).
If you've got any questions, please post them in the comments below or you can email us at email@example.com!
The promoter of this competition is Duchess & Deco of Balgowlah Heights, NSW 2093.
Note: While anyone is welcome to submit their design for this competition, only Australian residents are eligible to win an umbrella printed in their custom design.
We can't wait to see what incredible designs you come up with!!

What is an EZ Conventional Repair Escrow?
EZ "C"onventional Repair Escrow: Lending the Easy Way
When you see EZ "C"onventional Repair Escrow, naturally you want to know what's easy about it. This escrow product makes it simple to finance small upgrades on a newly purchased home over a short period of time. This escrow also can take it easy on your bank account, dodging duplicate fees and the higher fees common to multiple transactions.
Renovating my house with an EZ "C"onventional Repair Escrow
Sometimes only a few cosmetic updates stand between you and your beautiful new home. An appraiser will write down a list of needed fixes before a home can be purchased, or you will come up a list of your own. If this happens to you, an EZ "C"onventional Repair Escrow gives you a way to make these improvements without diving too far into your savings.
With an EZ "C"onventional Repair Escrow, the lender rolls the money to finance the house and complete repairs into a single home loan. The appropriate funds go to pay for the house. The fix-it funds are held in an escrow account in the trust of the lender. After both sides agree to a contractor, the improvements are made and the lender handles the payments.
Kitchen or bedroom improvements
Not all EZ "C"onventional Repair Escrow activity comes as a matter of necessity. If you would like to improve a bedroom or outfit the kitchen with new cabinets, an EZ Escrow would help you do that. The changes can only be cosmetic – no structural improvements are allowed. They also must be attached to the property and add value.
The program is designed to handle smaller repairs that can be fixed in 60 days or less. The cap for costs is $35,000 or 10% of the improved value. To get started, you will only need to provide 5% of the combined value.
Put your dream home in overdrive.
