Home School Legal Defense Association
Oregon--Committee Hearing on Senate Bill 761
From the HSLDA E-lert Service...
April 2, 2003
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
This Thursday, April 3, the Senate Education committee will conduct a
hearing on Senate Bill 761 at 3:00 p.m. in room HR C at the State
Capitol in Salem. Your attendance at this hearing is needed to
demonstrate homeschoolers' support for this important legislation.
Senate Bill 761 would repeal the notice and testing requirements of
the homeschool law. Parents would be free to teach their children at
home without any contact whatsoever with public school officials.
(1) We urge you to contact your state Senator listed below with this
"Please vote for Senate Bill 761 which will relieve homeschooling
parents from unnecessary state oversight. Home educators have earned
the right to more freedom after demonstrating their success under the
law for the past 18 years."
To get the name and telephone number of your senator, use HSLDA's
Legislative Toolbox at http://www.hslda.org/toolbox. If you do not
have Internet access, you can call the legislature to find out
information about your Senator at one of the numbers below:
If you do not live in the Salem area, the toll free telephone number
is 800-332-2313.
In the Salem area, the number is 503-986-1187. For further
information about your Senator call the Legislative Liaison at 503-
(2) Please attend the hearing of the Senate Education Committee at
the State Capitol on Thursday at 3:00 p.m. in room HR C. This bill
will not get through the Oregon Legislative Assembly without the
enthusiastic and visible support of home educators.
Senate Bill 761 would make the following changes in the current law:
- expand the educational options for homeschoolers by providing that
a child may be educated by the parent or legal guardian or "at the
direction of" a parent or legal guardian, thereby permitting parents
or guardians to appoint someone else to conduct some or all of the
- repeal the requirement that parents notify the public school
officials of their decision to homeschool;
- repeal the testing requirements of the homeschool law, except for
students participating in interscholastic activities at a public
school; and
- remove the requirement that the education service district or
school district determine that a child under 18 is being homeschooled
in order to get a driver's license.
Oregon first enacted a homeschool law in 1985, approximately 18 years
ago. Since that time, numerous efforts have been made to enact
amendments providing more freedom to parents. The most recent change
in the law occurred in 1999 when significant progress was made in
reducing state oversight of homeschooling. Senate Bill 761 represents
a continuation of legislative efforts to gain more freedom for
If Senate Bill 761 is enacted, Oregon will join a growing majority of
states requiring no standardized testing of homeschooled students.
Further, public school officials will have no record of children
being homeschooled, because parents will not be required to even
notify public school officials of their decision to conduct home
instruction. Oregon has the potential through this legislation to go
from a state with a good homeschool law to a state with a great
homeschool law. Let's work hard together to get this done this year.

Heavy Restaurant Group announced in a news release Tuesday that it is leasing the Woodinville space formerly held by Tully's Coffee and plans to open a new casual restaurant with local wine, beer and spirits.
The company owns restaurants in Kirkland, Seattle, Bellevue and Woodinville under the names Purple Café and Wine Bar, Barrio Mexican Kitchen and Bar, Lot No. 3 and Cast Iron.
According to the news release, Heavy Restaurant Group has signed a lease on the space in Hollywood Vineyards in Woodinville and plans to open the new restaurant next spring. The restaurant will be located at 14479 Woodinville Redmond Road in the same shopping center where the original Purple location opened in 2001.
"Woodinville is where it all started and now, 11 years later, we're coming full circle," said Larry Kurofsky, owner of Heavy Restaurant Group in the news release. "We are thrilled to bring our newest concept back to the community that we know so well. Woodinville has been great to us and this is the perfect location for us to introduce something new and special, a true neighborhood hangout."
The 2,800-square-foot restaurant will feature casual dining with a café atmosphere and outdoor seating. A variety of seating options, including large group tables and bar and counter seating, will be offered.
Food options will include salads, sandwiches and dinner options. The drink menu will feature local beers and wines, along with spirits from Woodinville distilleries. Espresso will also be served.
In October, Tully's Coffee filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed its Woodinville store in the Hollywood Vineyards shopping center, along with the Redmond shops in Bella Bottega and Redmond Town Center. Bella Bottega property manager Brad Merlino told Patch in November that the vacant Tully's space will likely become a restaurant but declined to get into specifics.

Jay-Z Back on the Court After NBA Fine
Jay-Z showed no signs of bitterness on the court despite being hit with a hefty fine by the NBA. The Roc Nation mogul, who owns a minority stake in the New Jersey Nets, cheered for his team as they played the New York Knicks on Friday, sharing laughs with a friend courtside.
The Nets were billed $50,000 after Jay was seen congratulating the Kentucky Wildcats in their locker room last month. League rules prohibit contact with players who have college eligibility remaining.

Wilson's Craig Davis rolled a perfect game and an 804 set to take the week's top area bowling honors.
Scott Hixenbaugh followed Davis in scoring at Wilson Lanes, rolling 753/258. Bob Greene and Bill Kyle were next with 716 sets.
Troy Cubbage bowled 772/280 for the White Oaks' high, leading an explosion of high games at that center. Eleven games were rolled with scores of 273 and higher. Darren Durbin followed Cubbage, scoring 767/277 then Jeremiah Howsare rolled a big 290 game in his 761 set.
At Rainbow Lanes, Bryan Jose bowled 759/257 for that center's weekly high. Chris Riggleman was next high, scoring 728/268 with Tyler Mansfield rolling 726/267.
Dave Yates scored 722/269 for the week's high mark at The Bowler. Cary Lowery and B.J. Curtis were next; Lowery bowled 709/246 and Curtis rolled 704/278.
Jack Tusing was Par-Matt's leader bowling 716/258. Joe Lucas followed, scoring 697/268.
Corey Gatian scored 705/253 for the Sherwood high. Dave Richards Sr. was next, rolling 670/245.
In the PBA Experience League at White Oaks, Mike Sipple led the scoring with 682/268. Danny Walch and Jeremiah Howsare were next, rolling 664/244 and 658/233 respectively.
Rainbow's Sandy Hott was the area's top lady bowler for the week, scoring 611/237. Rae Piraino was next rolling, 594/222.
Autumn Gable's 582/212 led the ladies at White Oaks. Vicki Coughlin was next, scoring 556/224.
Reesa Allwine was The Bowler's top lady, rolling 566/221. Kathie Herbert was next, scoring 544/211.
Jennie Smith was Par-Matt's leading lady, scoring 552/232. Nancy Glotfelty's 525/179 was next high.
At Sherwood, Anna Durst bowled 550/211 and Alice Monahan rolled 505/185.
Wilson's Pat Gwizdale bowled 531/180 and Sandy Smith scored 523/194.
George Gilmore was the area's top senior bowler for the week, scoring 616/215 in the Antique Senior League at The Bowler. Jennie Evans rolled 532/224. At Par-Matt Lanes, senior Larry Reckart bowled 580/225 and Margie Loughry rolled 539/211. Don Shaw was the high senior at White Oaks. Janelle Grapes bowled 498/189.
Kasey Sullivan was the area's top youth bowler for the week, rolling a big 731 set and high game of 257 at The Bowler. Randy Cubbage bowled 659/242. Sullivan was also the high youth at White Oaks, scoring 641/237. Bri Morris rolled 527/222. Tyler Iser bowled 535/269 and Kris Tusing rolled 472/175 at Rainbow Lanes.
I had the chance to watch a few matches of PBA bowlers on TV recently. Chris Barnes defeated Mika Koivuniemi 244 to 228 and Liz Johnson against Kelly Kulick and Johnson against Missy Parkin in the finals. You can read the accounts on bowl.com/news. The interesting point was that after a great performance against Kulick, Liz Johnson saw her strike shot evaporate due to changing lane conditions. She left two splits, a 4-6-7 in the second frame and a 4-6 in the fourth. The mental problem is that we all hate to change very much when the previous game was going so well. Liz defeated Kulick 267 to 260 in the semifinal but lost to Parkin 190 to 238 in the final.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!

Solid State Amp Wars
Alright, so I've decided that the next amp I'm going to get will be solid state, since in the end, seems like the kind of tone I prefer.
I've read lots of threads on this forum about what people consider to be good choices for a S.S. amp, like the Randall Cyclone, Crate Shockwave [yes I know about the headroom], and Ampeg VH series. A couple of questions.
- Is it true that I can't crank a solid state loud without losing some sound quality? This seems to be a major issue w/ the Shockwave, do all S.S. amps suffer the same problem?
- I heard soundclips of the Cyclone and was VERY pleased. However, they don't seem to showcase it on Randall's website. Is it still in production or do I have to get one secondhand?
- Let's assume $$$ is not a concern. Besides the Randall/Crate/Ampeg contenders, is there any other brands' S.S. amp worth trying out?
I would check out some of the Tech21 Trademark heads as well. A friend of mine who owns some seriously brutal amps, (modded 5150, Two-Rock, and Bogner Ecstacy, the only amp that is capable of slaying a Powerball) likes the Trademark, so if a tube guy like that gives it a thumbs up, its probably pretty badass.
You dont lose sound quality as long as you have some headroom. Once you push the poweramp enough, it will shit, but the more s.s. watts allows more volume before that happens.
This is true, when SS power amps are driven into distortion, thats when the tone starts to suffer.
Be sure to get cabs with low ohm or rewire them so that they are.
These days they have amps with a tube pre section and a s.s. power section..
but I want to try out the other way around!
Meh, I want to try a tube power mobile phone.
I've never been able to turn Cyclone up loud enough to distort. Believe me, I have tried. It gets so loud so fast that it can become painful to be near, but the tone remains pure and doesn't become shrill. I'm afraid of what would happen if it were ever maxed at 10. Anyone remember Hiroshima :)
As far as I now the Cyclone was discontinued. I'm not sure why but I bet it has to do with killing the sales of the Vmax. I played the Cyclone, Vmax, Shockwave, and different Mesa heads next to each other before I decided on the Cyclone. Money wasn't an issue. I just wanted something I really liked and for some reason pure S.S. Randall tone sounded the best to me.
I really really like my SS Randall amps, all pure solid state, like Soulinsane mentioned, none of that new tube driven ss hybrid amps that randall is making now. Mine is an older discontinued model so you wont be able to find it unless you look on ebay maybe. I'm also looking into a Tech 21 Trademark 300 head, that is one of the best ss amps out there IMO.
the crate shockwave is a good amp.
it can get plently loud. two 4 ohm cabs and i can almost guarantee you it will be loud enough.
Some amps you might want to consider are the Line 6 Spider models, among some others from Line 6.
Hughes and Kettner makes some good s.s. ams, with TONS of feature built in.
But i'll stick with the pretty glowing tubes.
yeah i used to be real into SS, then i got my blue voodoo. I havent touched my shockwave in months.
Yeah thers no1 else like him, really unique growl and good singing voice, hard mix
wrong thread? :p
Hybrid guitar amps are a giant steaming waste of time. Until they switch it around so the preamp is SS and the Power amps is tubes, its just a marketing gimmick. "But its got TOOOOBZSSS!!11!1!!"
That has been the best hybrid combo I've played so far as well.
S.S. pre with tube power amp.
What you could do if you're interested in the S.S. preamp with a tube poweramp is to use rack gear. Think of all of the s.s. preamps you can use : GT-8, POD, Sansamp PSA-1 ( ask xdx about this one, one of the best s.s. preamps ever made ), ADA MP-1 ... and then all of the tube poweramps you can use ... I don't even need to list anything there.
If money were no concern and I had to have a S.S. rig, I would get a Cyclone with a really nice 4x12 cab of choice, probably a Marshall 1960A.
Damn, I was wondering why Randall was plugging all this new tube stuff on their website. It sucks to hear that the Cyclone got axed. I already have a 1960 4x12 Marshall cab, luckily enough, which I haven't been able to use since my Flextone head got some kind of glitch and stopped booting up into the amp models, thus making it unplayable.
There seems to be a Cyclone out on Ebay now, it's at $550 with four days left. This time I'm gonna be smarter and try it out first before I buy it [something I should have probably done with my Flextone, or I'd be playing a 5150 today.]
I might end up selling it, but....I love my VH140c, it's not as muddy as lot of people lead you to believe it is..

Connecting Art and Science: The Historical Influence of Culture on Anatomy
Lecture with Kevin Petti, Ph.D. Department of Natural Sciences, San Diego Miramar College
From the ancient cultures of the East to the modern day culture of the Internet, the science and study of human anatomy has always been portrayed through artistic images that reflect the attitudes and knowledge of their time. While it may seem that the anatomy of man has changed little over the previous several centuries, just how man views his structure is a much more dynamic matter. Predicated upon such issues as religion, culture, and historical era, representations of the human form from around the globe are quite varied. Gain insight into the historical saga of anatomical studies, view images that reflect the evolution of the scientific method, and understand that the current body of anatomical knowledge is by contributions from the whole world.

Vaccine Study Retracted, and Causes of Autism Remain Elusive
Families need solid data, but research priority isn't more vaccine studies.
In 1998, the medical journal The Lancet published a study suggesting that the childhood MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine was tied to autism. On Tuesday, the journal retracted the study, saying in an editorial that key aspects of the paper—in which Andrew Wakefield reported that 12 children he studied had experienced a sudden onset of autism symptoms after getting MMR shots—were false.
This came after years of controversy surrounding the study and after last week's conclusion by Britain's General Medical Council that Wakefield had acted "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in doing his research. Among the findings: Wakefield didn't randomly choose the children studied, he subjected children to painful and unnecessary tests, and he was paid by lawyers for parents who thought their children had been harmed by the MMR vaccine. (Wakefield, who now works for a clinic in Texas that sells autism treatments, disputed that finding, calling it "unfounded and unfair.") British journalist Brian Deer has cataloged other problems with the study, including records indicating that the children's autism symptoms did not coincide with the MMR shot.
The effect of this one medical paper on the health of children has been extraordinary. Vaccination rates for children in the United States and the United Kingdom have been dropping, and the rates of deadly childhood diseases like measles are rising for the first time in decades.
Time and money that could have been marshaled to find the true causes of autism, and then used to develop effective treatments for the nearly 1 in 100 American children diagnosed with autism or a related disorder, have instead been sidetracked to the expensive and exhausting effort of combating the antivaccine movement inspired by Wakefield's flawed report. (Genetics researcher Steven Salzberg gives a good recap of the many large studies that found no vaccine-autism link.)
Saddest of all, parents who desperately want to help their children have been reduced to chasing untested "cures du jour." Liane Kupferberg Carter knows the lure of a promised cure when your child is suffering. She and her husband spent thousands of dollars on untested treatments for their son, finally fleeing when the doctor suggested using a toxic cancer drug that he had tried on just one other kid. That's not science, Carter writes in Tuesday's New York Times in a guest blog called "The False Prophets of Autism":
It's distressing and hurtful to hear [antivaccine activist Jenny] McCarthy say her son is cured because she 'was willing to do what it took.' McCarthy, who describes herself as one of a tribe of 'warrior moms,' seems to imply that if our kids are unrecovered, it's because we didn't do the diet right, weren't willing to let doctors inject our children with unproven drugs, or somehow just didn't love our children enough. I've heard McCarthy say on national TV, 'Evan is my science.' I'm sorry, one little boy is not 'science.' Warm and fuzzy anecdotes don't do it for me. Give me hard science any day, with its double blind studies and rigorous peer review.
The scientific research establishment is powerful. If I were the parent of a kid with autism, I'd want to deploy all of the research establishment's power to search for and test reliable treatments. That will take time and money. Imagine if McCarthy had devoted her considerable energies in the past decade toward raising money for basic research, epidemiological studies on possible environmental factors, or innovative behavioral therapies. There might be a lot more real help out there for children and more good choices for their parents.

Gas prices in Charlottesville are at an all-time high, hitting $2.25 a gallon today just for regular.
"It hurts. It, hurts, it hurts, really," said Beverly Walker from Fluvanna County.
Local gas prices have increased by 17 cents in the last month and nearly 40 cents in the last year.
"That's just burning man. $30 or $40 a week for gas is outrageous. Something needs to be done about it," said Walker
"I don't know if its going to be $50 bucks to fill up my car, or if its only going to be $30 bucks, and so I try not to go travel a whole lot of places because I don't know how much money that I'll spend on the gas," explained driver Kate Lawson.
If you're looking for ways to save money at the pump:
1. Keep the correct amount air in your tires. The amount should be located in your car's driver doorpost.
2. Try to fill up your car later at night or early in the morning. These times of the day are normally cooler and the gas is typically less dense.
3. Clean out your truck of items you don't use. The heavier your car the more it pulls, burning more gas.
4. Stay current with your oil change. Every 3,000 miles is suggested.

James Cameron's Aliens has had more influence on video games than any other film in history. It was a raucous, violent romp that was rife with elements that felt like a video game before home technology could even replicate it. The cast of space marines is a trope that has been used in games from DOOM all the way to Halo, the ammo count display on guns has been featured in the likes of Dead Space and others…hell, the movie even had a "boss battle" against the Queen Alien that presented the sort of escalation that games have used for decades.
Despite these qualities, a film-accurate, quality Aliens game experience has eluded us. The Aliens vs. Predator titles have been non-canonical asides that varied in accuracy and playability, and many of the straightforward Alien titles have been abysmal products of the license-heavy NES days. Wayforward's Aliens: Infestation managed to capture the lion's share of the franchise vibe on the Nintendo DS, but not in the larger-than-life, cinematic fashion that gamers have yearned for.
So enter Aliens: Colonial Marines, a game that bears the hope that all of the stars have aligned and we're finally getting the fantastic Aliens game that we've been waiting years for. For one, the game's narrative dovetails neatly into the movie canon under the supervision of 20th Century Fox, and it's been developed by Gearbox Software, whose resume includes excellent FPS titles like Brothers in Arms and Borderlands. With all of these bases being covered, Aliens: Colonial Marines should be perfect, right?
The game starts out hopefully enough. A battalion of Space Marines are dispatched to the Sulaco to try and figure out what happened to Ripley and the intergalactic leathernecks she was with. The initial tension is pleasantly heavy and thick as you step into eerily familiar territory, and you start to retrace steps from the film. The mangled lower half of Bishop lays splayed in a puddle of its own milky fluids (he's an android…stop giggling), and several of your fellow Marines are ensnared in an all-too-familiar mass on the walls. There's even the frightening suggestion of something moving around you, just out of sight, clattering through vents and ducts. When the Xenomorph finally reveals itself, it's a hell of a moment, an in-your-face button mashing frenzy to try and get it off of you and grab your sidearm, a brief snippet of terror drenched in acid and saliva.
The Alien leapt off of me, then skittered away to a nearby doorway where it crouched and…that's it. My first exposure to A:CM and its artificial intelligence set the mentally-deficient pace for the rest of the game. To put it kindly, the AI present here is broken beyond belief, giving us Aliens that try to hide in open space, run directly into the path of your spewing pulse rifle, and completely ignore your AI partners (who themselves will often run in circles or furiously hump the wall) and beeline straight for your targeting reticle. Even with the massive mobs of Xenos that the game dumps at you, their special-ed kamikaze routine makes them little more than grist for the mill.
The subpar AI is only the tip of the iceberg of problems that the game has. The graphics, at least on the Xbox 360, range from sufficient to comically awful. Remember Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator from almost three years ago? That game looked vastly superior to this title, which is awash in stiff animations, smeary textures, and laughable particle effects. Even stranger, in spite of the weak graphics, the game engine is subject to almost constant screen-tearing, which is inexplicable given that other games based on Unreal Engine 3 (i.e. DmC Devil May Cry, Gears of War 3) run buttery smooth with better graphical fidelity. While great graphics aren't a necessity, the visuals of A:CM are detrimental to the mood and tone that has defined the movies.
Worst of all, the much-hyped canonical storyline is a joke. There's fan service a plenty, but there's no real meat to the script, which is a pathetic 4-hour run of hamfisted dialogue (if I hear "oorah to ashes" one more time…), horribly implemented new Alien types, and the single greatest disappointment of an ending, Aliens or otherwise.
The miserable single player experience is, mercifully, joined by an impressive number of multiplayer modes, which range from co-op to team deathmatch, the latter of which pits humans vs. xenomorphs in a satisfying fashion, as a decent opponent can offer up a stiffer challenge than the lame-duck AI. Unfortunately, these modes are still dressed in the mediocre graphics of the single-player game, making it still a less-than-pleasant experience.
In the midst of all this mediocrity, Gearbox did throw in one pleasant system, which allows you to gain ranks, which you can then trade in for weapons upgrades like laser sights and expanded clips. It made the long slog through the game's corridors a little more exciting with the hope of brandishing some higher-end firepower, but it's such a small part of the larger picture that it barely helps at all. It's like a pretty sprig of parsley on the world's shittiest steak dinner.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is an inexcusable sin, wasting a license that was practically made for a video game adaptation, and leaving an underachieving husk of a title in its wake. It's rare that I've seen a game fail so miserably on all counts, and to see Aliens saddled with this sort of disappointment is truly upsetting. In space, no one can hear you scream, but down here on Earth I'm saying "merrrrrr."

Anderson finished 3 for 4 at the plate. Kelsey Coronado had the Fighting Owls' only other hit and scored all three of their runs.
Anderson-Shiro advanced to the area playoffs against fourth-ranked Rogers Thursday night at 7 in Bryan.
Falcon Thompson went all eight innings on the mound for Blooming Grove. The junior southpaw allowed only two earned runs on four hits, while striking out 11 and walking only three.
The Lady Lions trailed by two runs before scoring a pair of runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, senior third baseman Lauren Miller drew a walk. Sophomore Danielle Lima, pinch-running for Miller, then took second on a passed ball. Senior second baseman Hannah Chaffin singled and moved to third on an error, allowing Lima to score. Chaffin then crossed home plate on a passed ball to tie the game.
Chaffin turned in a 2-for-3 performance, including a double and a walk, to lead Blooming Grove's offense. Sophomore shortstop Sidney Horner was also 2 for 3, with a walk and three stolen bases.
Senior first baseman Haven Cofer and senior outfielders Alexis Goodwin and Lindsay Shuart also had hits for the Lady Lions. Goodwin and Shuart each had a stolen base as well.

LA Times blogger Elizabeth Snead has a bone to pick with Maison Martin Margiela's couturiers. She writes:
"The oceans are dying, children are suffering around the world, the ozone is disappearing, and the polar ice caps are melting, and this is the best idea you can come with up for us to wear in a few months? Is it any wonder no one takes high fashion designers' suggestions to heart anymore?"
Okay, it's kind of funny and true (in a sad way), but at the same time, this brings us back around to the age old question: When it comes to fashion, and more specifically, to the meticulously crafted works we see during couture week, should we consider it art or, um, just really unwearable clothes? Let's discuss! Keep reading »

The National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) is a non-profit association of attorneys and consumer advocates committed to representing customers' interests. Our members are private and public sector attorneys, legal services attorneys, law professors and law students whose primary focus is the protection and representation of consumers. NACA's members focus much of their efforts on advocating for individuals who have been victimized by fraudulent, abusive, or predatory business practices. However, NACA is also diligently focusing on innovative educational opportunities designed to prevent consumers from falling victim to these consumer scams. We are pleased to join in celebrating National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) with the Federal Trade Commission the week of March 3rd-9th.
"The goal of any good consumer advocate is our own obsolescence," states Ira Rheingold, NACA's Executive Director. Though National Consumer Protection Week comes only once a year, NACA's educational unit strives year round to provide both attorneys and consumers with the learning resources, opportunities, and forums they need to be effective advocates for themselves and others in the marketplace. To that end, NACA has launched a new initiative aimed at providing consumer advocates with frequent, free-of-charge online webinar courses addressing the latest in substantive legal developments, legislative and regulatory updates, and more. Our goal with these webinars is to provide consumer advocates and educators a forum to absorb and share new and relevant information, and then be able to tailor and implement what they have learned to serve the specific needs of the consumer communities.
NACA also develops free educational materials and brochures on various consumer protection topics, including Fair Debt Collection, Foreclosure, Military Consumer Justice, and Auto Fraud, which can be found on NACA's website here. The brochures provide basic information for consumers to learn more about abusive lending and ways to try to avoid it. Some of our publications are available in Spanish. As part of NACA's Military Consumer Justice Project, we have also developed free educational materials specifically tailored for military servicemembers and their families.
As part of NCPW, NACA helped to kick off this exciting week by participating in the NCPW Congressional Fair on Thursday, February 28th. Additionally, NACA is co-sponsoring the Fair Debt Collection Practices Conference with the National Consumer Law Center in Baltimore during NCPW (March 7th-9th).
To learn more about NACA and free educational opportunities, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The times, like the flavors and the cost of Girl Scout Cookies, they are a-changin'.
This year a box of Girl Scourt Cookies will set you back $4. That's fifty cents more than last year. There's also a new flavor this year: Mango Cremes.
And if you don't happen to have a Girl Scout Cookie source, there's a website for that too now.
The Girls Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania site now has a cookie sale finder. Just click on the link to http://www2.abcsmartcookies.com/boothlocator.asp?cid=250
