After Years of Waiting, EPA Finally Moves on Proposed Amalgam Separator Rule
August 6, 2014
The ADA has learned that the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is now reviewing an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed rule to reduce the amount of dental amalgam that dental offices release into wastewater systems. Following the OMB's review (assuming OMB approval, usually within 90 days) EPA will publish the proposed rule for comment. This is the first significant development on an amalgam separator mandate since the EPA first announced its intention to develop a rule in September 2010.
The ADA has consulted with the EPA a number of times since 2010. The EPA understands that the ADA supports a reasonable national pretreatment standard for amalgam waste as long as it is not unduly burdensome on dental professionals.
All Dentists Must Register with Colorado's PDMP by Oct. 31
August 6, 2014
A recently passed bill, HB14-1283, requires all dentists with a DEA registration to register with Colorado's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) by Oct. 31. The PDMP is a secure, online database created in 2005 that provides objective information about patients' controlled substance prescription records to assist Colorado healthcare providers in offering appropriate treatment to their patients. If you have not already signed up to use the PDMP, you may register for an account at: http://www.hidinc.com/copdmp. If you are already registered or are a current user of the PDMP database, no future action is needed at this time to meet the state requirement.

Inspired by Barack Obama's groundbreaking use of the internet to engage with citizens during his presidential campaign, guardian.co.uk asked internet users to share their personal messages to Obama via the same medium. What did they want to say to him, immediately following his historic election win: a greeting; a warning; some sage (or silly) advice? All people had to do to participate was take a photograph.
Within days, hundreds of images had been brought together on photo-sharing site Flickr, revealing the hopes, fears, passion and creativity of contributors from all ages, political, social and economic backgrounds, and all corners of the world.
This book brings together some of the most interesting, funny, representative and thought-provoking messages as a lasting reminder of a truly historic time.

If snow predictions hold for Northern Virginia Friday, even a half-inch of it combined with the low temperatures could "cause problems for the roads," NBC4 metereologist Doug Kammerer said Tuesday night on the evening's 11 p.m. newscast.
The high on Friday is forecast to be 29 degrees with a 70 percent chance of snow, according to The Weather Channel.
The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang agrees: "...even 1-3 inches of snow at these sub-freezing temperatures would cause potential driving problems."
Northern Virginia could see snow flurries Wednesday night as a "clipper system" moves through into Thursday morning.

I had it fresh had pulled directly from the Brewery taps.
Amber color with practically no head.
Faint smell of fruits.
Sweet malty taste with a fruity twist, hints of blackberries.
Light body and low carbonation with small bubbles.
Interesting that although it is a winter warmer is still very refreshing. Seems to have London Pride as its backbone.

Hand-pulled pint in the lovely 'Old Joint Stock' Birmingham (West Midlands) on 5 Dec 2012.
Looked great: those blackbeeries in the brew add colour as well as aroma and flavour. Good dark amber hue to the beer, off-white head that left some lacing.
Nose and taste dominated by those aforementioned blackberries which give it a tart feel from start to finish (just like the bottled version). Really enjoyed it, but one was enough.

At first the aroma of blackberries screams, "What have you done". Then I had a sip. Call the psychiatrist because it's turned me into a schizophrenic. Half of my brain said, "Yeah, summer party and barbecue season is here." The other side says, "What on Earth are you doing?" By the time the glass is empty, you are calling for more. If ever I've seen food call for food, this is it. Give it a hunk of Brie, a mild pizza or (perfect pairing) a Welsh rarebit.

Picked this up at the biggest beer store in the UK, Beers of Europe Ltd. Beautiful deep amber-copper pour with two finger head with decent retention and lacing. Subdued fruity, earthy nose with herbal, hoppy undertones. The blackberries are present, but probably wouldn't have picked them out had I not known they were there. They're a bit more obvious in the taste, but not to the point where this becomes a fruit beer. Lots of caramel malt with hints of tea and brown sugar. Totally agree with other reviewers that it tastes like London Pride with a touch of blackberries. The mouthfeel is a touch thin, but I prefer that to being a syrupy fruit beer. I'm a huge Fuller's fan so this is slightly disappointing, but it's still a solid beer.

The beer is dark amber, brownish with ruby hints, an off-white small head, little lacing.
The smell is nutty and fruity, rather modest.
Tasting initially of dark bread with jam on red berries, pears, ripe apples and some lemon zest.
Medium carbonation, soft bubbles and fluid, refreshing and very little dry.
A nice soothing real ale, relaxing fruit flavor (from the blackberries).

Cask at The King Edward Restaurant & Pub in Ilderton, ON. Taps a deep copper hue with ruby edges, a thin ring of frothy white head, and a few strands of lacing on the tumbler. Smell is sulphur, orange peel, metal, fruity yeast esters, blackberries, raisins, floral, herbal and grassy hops, faint cherry/medicinal note. Appealing but restrained aromas. Taste is mildly sweet and biscuity Crystal malts, caramel, sherry, light indistinct fruitiness, mineral water, earthy and grassy hop bitterness, somewhat metallic. Mouthfeel is lighter than medium bodied, low carbonation, slick middle with a drying and lasting bitter finish. No alcohol or spiced flavours, which is not unusual in English renditions of the style. Overall, this is a thoroughly decent session brew - not as robust, spicy or warming as some North American interpretations but still a nice quaffing ale for the winter months.

Had two pints of this at the barrowboy & banker at London Bridge. 4.5abv No real head, was a reddish browny colour. Hazy. Malty smell, some hops but they didn't penatrate the malt. Tasted like a watered down London Porter. It had the same raisin, coffee bean flavour but the body is not as thick. Not much fiz, quite smooth. Decent winter brew, not one of Fuller's best but it works. Could be a session brew

On cask at Volo.
Pours a clear dark orange, some amber highlights, thin off white head forms, quickly settles down to a thin ring around the glass before disappearing, no real lacing.
Smell is weird, sweet and malty, some caramel, biscuit, lots of fruitiness, a bit herbal and medicinal, very light.
Taste is similar, weird herbal thing, some fruit, caramel, biscuit, decent malt but very light which excentuates the strange character.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with low carbonation. Probably wouldn't order this again.

Really a very pleasant beer overall - not outstanding but pleasant even good/very good in every respect other than smell which was too faint for my nose.
There was some malt and some fruity esters but very faint and little complexity.
The taste which has a fruity note as if of autumn forest berries rather than being a fruit beerc is reall is strongest asset. Much better than the last Fuller beer I had and in all a very good taste - I would buy this again!

Tried this on cask at the Churchill Arms Pub in Kensington. (The Thai food in the garden, by the way, is worth the trip, as is the impressive collection of antique chamber pots hanging from the rafters in the main room.)
Looked promising, with a rick, dark amber to light red color, a decent head and good lacing. the smell wasn't particularly remarkable either way.
Taste-wise, I found the "winter warmer" tastes way too subtle. I got sweet malt, a bit of hops, and a bare hint of spice/fruit. The spicy Pad Thai did more to warm me in the winter than Jack Frost did.
Mouthfeel was pretty good, given the style and the locale, and it was perfectly quaffable. But really, this is an average English beer, and a slightly below-average winter warmer...inoffensive, but not really noteworthy.

Fullers Jack Frost is in my opinion not a bad beer at all and i prefer my fuit beers not to be over powering (If you want fruit overpowering drink cider) and this beer had a nice black berry kick with Fullers signiture malty base and is great beer in the summer nice and cold or warming at a cold winters night.

I remember tasting this beer on cask at the Old Bank of England, Strand, a while ago, but it wasn't on form--a bit flat and bland--so it left no impression on me what-so-ever. I even kind of bypassed it whenever I saw it on cask. Now the beer is available in bottles at my local Sainsbury's supermarket, I'll see how this version goes. Not bottle-conditioned, 4.5%abv., BB 29/12/2007, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: dark reddish amber, coming with a pale-yellow-ish foamy head with o.k. retention and very lively fizziness. The carbonation decreases in strength pretty quick, leaving semi-fast, constant streams of tiny bubbles.
S: fruity as it should be (the label says it's brewed with blackberries), smelling like syrupy blackcurrent and blueberry cordial on top of a thick body of sweet, brown-sugary malts... a touch of Goldings somewhere in the mix as well... Overall, very fruity and juicy, but somehow lacking a richer profile. IMO, it could've been more balanced if added with slightly more acidic/sour fruity edge? Or more hops?
T: quite effervescent at first... then the surprisingly moderate fruitiness prevails, showing elements of blackberries and lesser raisins... quickly proceeding to a midly citric as well as grassy hoppyness and flat-bodied but pleasant biscuity and crystal malt aftertone. Rather neutral in aftertaste and short in the finish.
M&D: the mouthfeel is simply too gassy to be enjoyable for me, although the body of the beer holds quite well and is pretty moderate to support the equally modest flavour. All in all, not a bad fruity pale ale (I totally agree with MaldonGold, that it's like watered-down London Pride with a dash of Ribena~~), and the maltiness surprisingly is the most remarkable element in this beer--meaning that fruits and hops are both more muted than ideal... After this bottle, now I'm not afraid of trying this beer on cask next time I see it, but this is still way behind ESB and other better traditional brands of Fuller's... LOTS of room for improvement, me think.

Pours with a dark amber body, off white head with good retention, some lacing down the glass
Smell, fresh fruits, dried fruits, malt loaf, little bit of fresh english hops, some background malt
Taste, thick fruit and maris otter malt, some english hops, fairlt balanced, little bit of dried fruit on the finish
A fair ale, not up the standard of some of fuller's other brews

3.48/5 rDev -2.5%
Appearance: deep amber, great clarity, narrow layer of tannish suds that flatten to a mottled cap, some lace
Aroma: smells just like a "fruited" malt loaf
Flavor: mellow malt sweetness with more of that malt loaf overtone, blackberry fruitiness, raisins, finishes semisweet with a late-arriving grape-skin hop bitterness in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel: medium body, very mild carbonation, slight mineral feel
Other comments: All in all, a pretty good seasonal offering from Fullers. I tasted this one from cask last year, but didn't review it at the time. And I had no idea then that it had blackberries in it!

I had this lovely winter warmer ale on cask in a beautiful pub in London last week. Paired with their soup of the day (carrot and ..?) and some brown bloomer bread; I couldn't of asked for anything more! Heaven, I tell you.
This ale is brewed with crystal malt and infused with a dash of blackberries which I could easily smell after the poor. It poured a beautiful copper red with a thin off-white/light tan creamy head. This is 4.5% abv and this was a notch above the other cask-conditioned winter warmer I had that week (Young's) although not as strong.
This is an extremely quaffable ale that I honestly enjoyed more so than most of the other gents giving reviews for this beer. I recommending pairing it with a good soup or something tasty and you won't regret it. The blackberry taste wasn't the main focus of this beer but it added just the right touch to this winter warmer! Tastes very good and the mouthfeel was ok as well.
Grab a pint of this if you have the chance. Sorry I didn't write down my notes for this tasty brew so this is just from off the top of my head.

Pours a light chestnut/maroon with a small tan head that fades away and leaves no lace.
Aroma of burnt caramel, dark, juicy fruits and a diacteyl note with some resiny and floral hops.
Flavor has a hint of blackberry behind some thick caramel and tangy spice on the finish.
Mouthfeel is ultra sweet that moves to a fairly spicy but mild bitterly finish
Drinkability is decnet but super sweet fruity notes amke it a bit over done.

Purchased this bottle at the store located by the Fuller's brewery and brought it back to the states. Pours a very clear, beautiful deep, deep reddish brown color. Very pretty, with a nice white head.
Was hoping to get a berry scent, but instead the aroma was of light malt and faintly of veggies. The taste was quite crisp, with a very faint berry note and that fantastic orange-bready Fuller's house yeast flavor. The berries aren't the center of this beer, which was exceptionally easy to drink. I only wish it had a better scent and more flavor.

Deep copper color that was crystal clear. Thin head, some lacing. Very full bodied and heavily fruity. I asked the barman and he said it was brewed with black currants, Fruit added to beer is not my thing which explained to me my lukewarm opinion. Not a bad beer by any means, just not my thing. Still a nice winter ale for others perhaps.

and property crime is way down the list of crimes to be investigated,
and has been so for years. No time for such events on part of the Sheriff.
on Aug 8, 2013 at 4:44 pm
Most victims of bicycle theft don't even bother reporting the crime because they know the police won't investigate. Better to search Craiglist and EBay yourself then bring your own posse to sting the perp.
on Aug 9, 2013 at 8:52 am
From what we have experienced in our area - the burglars are teenagers (wanna be gang members). Being a teen affords them less prison risk. But some of these recent commercial residential construction site robberies take even more of my breath away !! Also, with hardened targets at home i think they are moving to the streets with guns to rob citizens - I.E downtown Palo Alto. Many have families and need jobs. East Bay is trying to work with them to some extend. But wrong is still wrong.

A woman remains in critical condition after she was hit and dragged by a commercial truck on Wednesday night near Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis, and police say the intersection is a tough one.
In the three and a half years that Alex Bolton has worked at Burger Jones, he has seen his fair share of accidents in the area -- but the one that unfolded on Wednesday in the intersection in front of where he works is one that he can't get out of his mind.
"That's super scary because I take the bus here every day," he said. "I'm crossing the street once or twice here every day. I was like, 'Man, that could have been me.'"
Bolton told Fox 9 News he sees street signs that look like they've been hit near that intersection at least once a week -- but when it's a person who has been hit, the damage is much harder to undo.
"Just awful," Bolton said. "It's almost not even surprising, just terrible."
Police say Caitlan Barton was walking across Lake Street near Calhoun Village just after 6 p.m. when she was hit by a delivery truck. Investigators say the truck was heading south on Market Plaza and hit Barton while turning right on Lake Street, dragging her under the vehicle for nearly 20 feet.
Paramedics from the fire station across the street were at Barton's side within minutes and were able to get her to HCMC, where she is listed in critical condition.
Minneapolis police say the intersection is a hectic one for drivers and pedestrians alike.
"It's a real long red light there," John Elder, of the Minneapolis Police Department, told Fox 9 News. "If that driver was stopped at the light and she came up on the side, he may not have ever seen her approach."
Even though Barton was walking with the light and was in the crosswalk, Elder said neither is a guarantee of safety.
"As a pedestrian, you have the right of way, but that doesn't mean you should always take it," he said. "Do what you need to do to remain safe. Sometimes, that means giving up the right of way."
The driver who struck Barton did stop and has been cooperating with the investigation. At this time, it is unknown whether or not he or she may face charges.

Interview From Paradise
Since we are talking about making dreams come true and living life on purpose, I wanted to introduce you to someone who is really doing just that. Genny Ross-Barons moved to Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras, in the Caribbean Ocean, in August of 2007. She spent five weeks there in May of 2007 and then went home to Ontario (Kitchener-Waterloo) Canada to make arrangements to relocate, permanently!
Genny is a reader of Be More With Less and has her own blog, The Roatan Vortex. See what she has to say about living in paradise.
Interview From Paradise
Genny, I am planning to live in Mexico by the ocean and have been researching other locations as well. I never considered Honduras. Why did you choose Roatan?
As corny as it may sound, it was the Roatan Vortex that pulled me here. I had visited many Caribbean Islands on holidays, and enjoyed them all. But I had never been to Roatan, and had never heard of it. I was at work one day, when a fellow employee came in to my office with pictures of a diving vacation he had taken. I am not a diver, I don't even like snorkeling, but I was intrigued with the word Roatan. I did a Google search, and once I figured out how to spell it, all these sites came up with information. That was it! From then on I was obsessed with knowing everything I could about the island. This all started in 2004. If it had been just my decision, I would have packed up and gone right away.
What is a typical day like for you in paradise?
When I first moved here, family and friends in Canada would frequently ask, "What do you do all day? Don't you get bored?"
The funny thing is, here on Roatan, you learn to slow down everything. That need to always be busy goes away. You know, when you're feeling guilty if you haven't booked enough to do each and every day. That's what I like about your site "Be more with less—Being Busy is Not That Important." You talk about living a simpler life that isn't just about having less stuff; it's also about clearing out that closet in your mind of things to do.
A typical day on Roatan:
- Wake with the sun rising over the ridge, peeking into my bedroom, through the open (screened) balcony doors. (That is #1 on my list of Roatan Vortex things that pulled me in.) I lay there for at least a ½ hour watching the hummingbirds flitter in the cashew tree.
Note: Roatan is fairly close to the equator so the sunrise and sunset are always close to 6 AM and 6PM (we don't do daylight savings either.)
- Make coffee.
- Feed my Island dog Mona, and my Island cat Baby. Actually I feed Baby first because he won't stop winding around my legs and nipping at my ankles until I do. Mona is usually in no hurry for breakfast.
- Enjoy my coffee on the front porch, while checking to see if I need to sweep it. Bats and geckos (lizards) are out all night pooping everywhere.
- Sweep the porch.
- Second cup of coffee and laptop in-tow, time to check e-mails; maybe make a skype phone call to family in Canada.
- Chat with my husband, who is now waking up. He might have been out late the night before playing drums with a band in West End.
- Send my husband off to the office (giggle) with a coffee, and yogurt with bananas & nuts. I had to giggle there because my husband's office is a small cabana, about a one minute walk from our front door. Dave is the Common area Property Manager for where we live. He has to have the office open from 9 AM until noon, Mon-Sat. His duties include; property maintenance, overseeing the gardener (one for 3-1/2 acres of property,) security—we have a day "Watchie" and a night "Watchie". Everyone on Roatan takes responsibility for their own security—in an underdeveloped country the resources are not there for public services that we take for granted in developed countries.
- I will then spend the morning writing or if I have a volunteer project happening, I'll do something with that. I am usually working ona few projects. I absolutely love it! I am in touch with the community and get to see up close and personal what it is like in their world. The bonus is that they teach me what really matters.
- Lunch
- The afternoon is spent doing the same as the morning, with the addition of a nap (siesta) and some days a little time by the pool or on the dock.
- Feed my Island dog Mona, and Island cat Baby
- Dinner with Dave, or perhaps a pot-luck with friends.
- Watch some TV, I do have a few favorite shows when the cable is working, or the power doesn't go out.
- The day is done at about 10 PM. I'll do pretty much the same things again tomorrow.
What do you miss most about mainstream living, if anything?
I miss going to the movies and live theater productions. Every week, my Mom and I would catch a show (on cheap night) at the multi-plex movie theater, with a big popcorn and big soda to wash it down. Kitchener-Waterloo also has a great theater for live-productions where I saw many touring Broadway productions and the local symphony perform. There is nothing like that here.
Do you have to be well off financially to make a move like this?
It depends on what your priorities are. Our home is very cute, but simple. Our vehicle is an island clunker that most days, gets us where we need to go. There is no need for heating, but some spend a lot on air-conditioning. We don't bother with that, and just have adapted to always being extra warm. Most days there is a glorious breeze coming off the Caribbean Sea to cool us down a bit, and if there isn't we just go slower that day. Most basic items cost less on Roatan and we really don't need much. No matter what you own here it will rust, corrode or go moldy (including clothes,) so it's easier to not own much. The biggest thing, is no worries about keeping up with the Jones'! We have friends on Roatan who were or still are CEOs of major corporations with beautiful, elaborate villas. We also have friends who don't own a pair of flip-flops. We all get together regularly, and just enjoy each other's company. Nobody cares how much stuff you have.
Can you generate income in Roatan?
Yes you can! There are many opportunities for starting a business and/or generating an income. Warning though; In the 3 years that I've lived here, anyone who came to the island thinking they are going to make millions (especially at the expense of, or with a disregard for the well being of the local people) have failed miserably. There is also a huge cultural difference that you need to understand before investing or forming a business on Roatan.
Do you worry about finances for the future?
Some would say that I am being irresponsible because I don't worry about future finances. I choose to live right here, right now. I used to believe in work hard now and reap the benefits later, but later doesn't always come.
What did you do with all of your stuff?
I used to have a lot of stuff. I was a thrift store, flea market junky. It was my way to reward myself, or comfort myself when my husband was working weekends. When I moved, I picked a very few items to keep, more sentimental value than anything else. A few things went to my grown children and three young grandchildren. And the rest I sent to an auction clearing-house or donated to the local thrift shop. Note: I got the heck out of Canada before the day of the auction, I feared I would go and buy most of it back!
What advice would you give someone who wants to make this move but thinks they have to wait until they "retire"?
The one bit of information I haven't shared yet is that during the early years when I was determined to move to Roatan. I was married to someone who shared my dream, but was more practical than I. We both had demanding jobs, his more than mine, and it kept him away from home no less than 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. We were living the dream—saving for our retirement. On July 23rd 2006, the day after my 42nd birthday, one week after his 46th birthday, my much loved husband died from a massive heart attack (brought on by the stress of his job.) The last conversation we had had was him telling me, enough was enough and he would find a way for us to move to Roatan within the year, instead of waiting 10 or 15 years when we retired.
Any other places in the world you would consider living?
Anything is possible. But I've got to say,"The Roatan Vortex pulled me in and I never want to leave!"
Genny's story sums up so much about setting priorities, going after dreams and living with less, to be more.

Thank you so much for asking me to participate Courtney. I too feel that we have become good friends although we have never met.
Your site, bemorewithless offers a wealth of ideas of how everyone can achieve their dream of living more with less…I'm just glad to share that it is possible.
PS Anytime of year is a great time to visit Roatan, but if I had to pick a best month it would be March. Rainy season is over. The tropical foliage is putting on its best show with more shades of green than you ever thought possible. The air is warm, but not stifling, as a breeze floats across the Island from the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea, carrying the scent of fragrant blossoms getting ready to produce lush tropical fruits; mangoes, cashews, limes, and more. Come on down Courtney, friends are always welcome
What great "insider" insight to life on an island!
I had the the pleasure of connecting with Genny through her radio show & she's pretty much convinced me to move Roatan to the top of the list of tropical locations to visit!
Hey Steve,
As you know, I'm not doing the radio show anymore, it was a lot of fun, but I wanted to get back to writing more. I'm really glad it was an open door for a while to connect with people who have an Island Perspective like you and Renee.
Your article is fantastic! I would love to move to Roatan – where can you find info on prices and availability for houses and apartments. Thanks for the info – hope to meet you when I relocate to Honduras.
I always suggest coming for a visit before taking the plunge. As small as Roatan is (5miles X 35miles) it still offers distinctly different areas and lifestyles.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and personal story with us. My husband also works over 12 hours a day with a 3-4 hour commute. It is crazy. We have four kids and felt "stuck" but have since created a two year plan for freedom. We hope to follow a similiar path snd are investigating moving to Ecuador, Costa Rica or Mexico. We plan on working together and sharing a different life with our children than the standard american routine and before stress overtakes another life. Genny and Courtney- may your days continue to be full of peace.
Your children and you can greatly benefit from escaping the norm. Priorities shift making it easier to see, enjoy, and fully participate in what really matters.
nice insight, one of the things I/we enjoy most one the Island, part from the finger bananas is the diversity and fiendlyness of the people that you've introduced us too. Take care and we'll see you soon.
We just got a batch of finger bananas…they are the best, next to all the great people here, of course!
Nice article! We visited Roatan in 2004 and fell into the "vortex" also. We are now in the process of building our retirement home "Casa de los Jubilados" on Roatan, hoping to move down with in the next year or two.
I'm sure you are counting down the days until you can call Roatan home.
Great article Genny. I'm sending it to all my friends and relatives. It explains a lot that I sometimes try to put into words!
You've been here twice so far…when's the move gonna happen?
Hey Sis great read….Even here in Canada Glen and I made the pack that even with a home based business we will not let work affect our evening and weekends…And so far so good…We enjoy our down time, strolling by the lake, biking, rollerskating (it's back in Kitchener in the winter months), watching something good, or Swimming and hanging by our pool in summer….We try not to get caught up in the keep up with the Jones' but I must admit after we got our pool our neighbour had one within the year…so it definitely goes on here a lot We buy stuff on sale only and only stuff we need like clothing etc….And try to give our good used clothing to those less fortunate..So even in Canada we can try not to get caught up in the rat race It really is a decision every person has to make, and one of my favorite sayings is "Live simply so others may simply live" and with that in mind we make sure to give through our local church to great causes and any other worthy causes that we here about, like the Roatan Hospital….I am not tooting my own horn, but giving is the most fulfilling thing you can ever do and while helping others, it really enriches your life even more Laurie, aka Genny's little sis
Hey Sis,
Toot away! You frog rescuer you, http://roatanvortex.com/2010/09/04/frog-rescuer/
Good point that you don't have to live on an Island to appreciate and practice keeping it simple. You can "be more with less" wherever you live. I really like that saying "Live simple so others may simply live."
Great article Genny. We have lived in Roatan for 4 1/2 years, we gave most of our things away also and sold our dream home (we thought it was the dream home) in the states and moved here with our 8 year old son. Even now we are still are amazed at how all the things we thought were important in our old life are not that important anymore and the things that we didn't have the time for are the most important here; good friends and family. I always say that we would never make it back in the "other" life because they make you wear shoes.
Well put Celeste! You and your family do a fantastic job of making sure all your guests at West Bay Lodge experience the pleasure of total relaxation and prioritizing what really matters.
And I agree…avoid anyone who makes you wear shoes!
Thanks Genny for your amazing story and for replying to the great comments on this post!
I subscribe to the "ISLANDS" magazine, and of all the places that magazine takes you, I just love the pictures that come out of your island of Honduras-Roatan especially!!!!!
Just from the pictures I can feel the "vortex", isn't that amazing?? I would just love
to move there too but I think I need to visit first and see what's happening…..and
the reef….just amazing too….I think I could visit that everyday and never see the
same thing twice!!!!
thanks for the well thought out writing. we are contemplating moving to roatan but want to visit again befor making final decision. reading your article helped.
I would like to start a small business and moved to Roatan. What busines will work and what they dont have in the Island that can benefit population.
I originally from Honduras. I was adopted when I was 4 years old. I've since been back to Honduras to visit my biological family. We also spent a week on the Island of Roatan. I'm constantly looking for my way out of Michigan and back home. You did touch on something that is my biggest fear.. (Retirement money). Your right about how we wait and work and hope for this great retirement and most of us never get to experience our hard earned reward. The part of your late husband really touched my heart. My father never got to see his retirement he was diagnosed with alzheimer's 6 months after his retirement. He never got to travel the globe like he wanted too. Neither did my mom. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Genny,
We will be visiting Roatan on May 14. We are celebrating our 35 year wedding aniversary and can not wait to be there enjoying the beauty of the Island. I enjoyed reading about your life there. You are an inspiration. Take Care.

On the team side, the Dolphins, who finished 15-4 overall and, of course, won the National Lacrosse Conference title, set the all-time NCAA Division I scoring record at 18.16 goals per game. Other national rankings followed.
JU was first in the country in draw controls per game; second in scoring margin, eighth in caused turnovers, 13th in scoring differential and 14th in ground balls per game.
The top-ranking in draw controls was in large part to junior Rachel Hannon who set the all-time NCAA record with 131 draw controls during the season. She also led the country in draw controls per game at 6.89.
Hannon was NLC co-Player of the Year, Defender of the Year and first team All-Conference.
She was joined on the first team by senior Jess Hotchkiss, sophomore Brittney Orashen and sophomore Ali Hoffman, the team's leading scorer.
Hoffman had 39 goals and 27 assists which placed her 35th in the nation in the latter category. Her 66 points are second in a season all-time in team history.
Freshman Holly Ventimiglia, from Medford, N.Y., was named the league's Top Newcomer and two Dolphins found themselves on the NLC second team All-Conference as Kaitlin Stewart and Morgan Derner were honored.
Derner, despite missing several early games with an injury, wound up 14th in the NCAA in goals per game with 3.20 and ended the season with a 14-game scoring streak, the longest in school history.
Four JU players made the NLC All-Tournament team and one, goal keeper Karli Tobin, was named Tournament Most Valuable Player.
Orashen had 10 goals, three assists and eight draw controls in the tournament while Hannon had 18 draws, a goal and two assists.
Sophomore Morgan Basler, a defender this season, found herself playing midfield in the tournament and responded with big numbers. On the offensive side, she had five goals and three assists and also had three ground balls and a caused turnover.
Tobin, a junior, had 16 saves while giving up only 12 goals in the three games and came up big in the 19-6 final win over High Point. She also put herself on the national stage as she was tied for 17th in save percentage and was 33rd in saves.
The Dolphins also placed 11 players on the NLC All-Academic team.
Derner, Hoffman, Hotchkiss, Tobin and Stewart led the way and were joined by Basler, Nikki Erdely, Kaylee Quint, Angela Sperbeck, Carly Garrison and Ellyn Spangenberg.

Nigerian armed group attacks oil pipeline, ending truce
December 21, 2009
The Associated Foreign Press reports that Nigeria''s main rebel group has claimed responsibility for a recent attack on an oil pipeline operated by Shell and Chevron, ending a two-month truce, and accusing the government of using the president''s ill-health to stall peace talks. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) claimed the attack in an e-mail statement. The pipeline is located in Abonemma, some 50 kilometers west of Port Harcourt, the country''s oil hub. MEND had previously announced an indefinite ceasefire in response to a government amnesty program for militants in the restive oil region to lay down their arms. The group also named a team to negotiate with the government on how to end the unrest. MEND said it would now review the ceasefire within 30 days, blaming the government for suspending ongoing peace talks because of the failing health of President Umaru Yar''Adua, who has bee hospitalized since late November in Saudi Arabia. MEND also vowed to continue "its fight for the restoration of the land and rights of the people of the Niger Delta which has been stolen for 50 years." The Niger Delta has for more than three years been a haven for armed militants claiming to be fighting for a greater share of oil wealth for their communities. At the peak of the unrest Nigeria, the world''s eighth largest exporter of crude, saw its output slashed by a third. Following the amnesty deal Nigeria''s oil output has risen to around 1.98 million barrels per day, according to latest report from the International Energy Agency.

Deputies in Greenville County said the man who fired shots in Taylors and prompted a standoff in west Greenville on Friday, has turned himself in.
Deputy Jonathan Smith, of the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, said investigators were called to a home on Lilly Pond Lane about 2 p.m., after a woman said a man she knew fired shots into her car and then fled.
Smith said the woman gave the man's address to deputies and provided a description of the vehicle he was driving. He said the vehicle was found at the Courtney Circle address the woman provided. He said the man was ordered to come out of the home, but when no one exited the SWAT team was called to the scene.
The man spoke to investigators on the phone, and officials believed he was in the home, according to Smith. He said during the course of the phone call, deputies determined the man was not inside the home.
Smith said Randall Lee Batson Jr, 22, turned himself in just after 7 p.m. Friday after talking with family members.
Batson was arrested and charged with attempted murder. He is being held in the Greenville County Detention Center.
No injuries were reported.

I must pick up my cell phone and be able to post a note (eg I am in a meeting) and set my status to busy so any one who has my number in their phone book can see me as busy when they scroll through, so they'll know not to call if they were hoping to do so and visa versa

Soledad O'Brien Tries (And Fails) to Debunk Romney's Women Job Loss Claim
CNN's Soledad O'Brien once again tried to fact-check numbers she took issue with, and once more she failed to refute them. On Monday's Starting Point she took aim at Mitt Romney's claim that women have accounted for 92 percent of the job losses under President Obama.
"That would be a shocking number if it were true, which it really isn't exactly overall," O'Brien began. Yet even ABC's George Stephanopoulos admitted the report was "accurate." [Video below the break. Audio here.]
O'Brien claimed that since the numbers were counted beginning with January 2009, they included a three-week hemorrhage of jobs before Obama's January 20th inauguration, and thus he was held accountable for jobs lost during Bush's administration.
However, even if the numbers accounted for this and began in February 2009, women still lost 484,000 jobs in Obama's term, compared with a net gain of 468,000 jobs for men. Thus under President Obama, beginning a few days into his presidency, women lost jobs overall while men gained nearly as many jobs. So while Soledad is trying to refute the "war on women" Obama is being blamed for, she isn't doing a very good job.
In addition, she stated that men lost more jobs in the recession than women and most of their losses occurred before 2009, and thus the numbers should have begun when the recession commenced in December of 2007. However, the Romney campaign was specifically counting job losses for Obama's term – which is not uncommon for judging a presidency – and Soledad could not refute it as false even though she tried.
O'Brien is no stranger to defending Obama. She made headlines for a spat with Breitbart editor Joel Pollak over Obama's connections with radical professor Derrick Bell, tried to deflect blame away from Obama toward President Bush as the "food stamp president," and challenged "The Obamas" author Jodi Kantor over her book's claims – but was refuted by her own network's reports.
A transcript of the segment, which aired on April 16 on Starting Point at 7:44 a.m. EDT, is as follows:
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Welcome back, everybody. A new front is opening up in the war on women, if in fact there is one. Mitt Romney has been making this claim, listen.
(Video Clip)
MITT ROMNEY, Republican presidential candidate: Of the 800,000 plus jobs that have been lost during the Obama administration, do you know what percentage of them have been lost by women? 92 percent! 92 percent of the jobs lost in the President's term have been lost by women.
(End Video Clip)
O'BRIEN: Wow, 92 percent. That would be a shocking number if it were true, which it really isn't exactly overall, 740,000 men and women lost jobs during January of 2009 and March of this year. Women accounted for 683,000 of those jobs. That's how they get to that 92.3 figure, but the math includes hundreds of thousands of jobs that were lost in the three weeks before President Obama took office, which tilts the picture quite a little bit.
Also overall men lost more jobs in the recession than women did. Most of those losses happened before President Obama took office. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was battling back on Governor Romney's numbers. Listen.
(Video Clip)
TIMOTHY GEITHNER, Secretary of the Treasury: The early job losses were felt mostly by men, because they happened in construction and manufacturing across the economy. And as the crisis intensified over the course of '08 and signal the government started to feel the pressure. They had to cut back on teachers. A lot of women are teachers. So you saw the later effects as the crisis spread to women, too.
(Video Clip)
O'BRIEN: So, not exactly a shocker because I think that the overriding picture is what will women do in this election and that's why we've seen this war on women if you will.
WILL CAIN, CNN contributor: I want to say this. That statistic, Soledad, is true. Of the –
O'BRIEN: Depending how you the crunch the numbers.
CAIN: Hold on. That statement is true. Now you said a couple hundred thousand the first three weeks of January of 2009. No, it's only a couple tens of thousands and it does change the numbers a little bit, but 92 percent of job losses since Obama took place are women. That's a true statement –
O'BRIEN: Because the bulk of them – because the bulk of them –
CAIN: Let me finish.
O'BRIEN: No, I'm going to stop you there and then you can finish, the bulk of them were lost when George Bush was president, right? So if you – they called it a man-cession.
JOHN FUGELSANG, political comedian: It was the 2009 George Bush budget.
CAIN: Just so I can finish my thought.
O'BRIEN: Okay, go ahead.
CAIN: It is a true statement, but largely useless statement. So what it has done has divided numbers at an arbitrary starting point.
O'BRIEN: Yeah, so it makes it not true.
CAIN: But you know what? I'm going to be –
O'BRIEN: Arbitrary makes math not true.
CAIN: Abby's right. It's turned into a game. It is tit for tat. You create a false war on women. I'll give you a statistic that's largely useless, but true, and we'll have this little fake game. If we just don't indulge in these fake games, it'll be fine.
O'BRIEN: I know but – that seems like the political strategy is these games, right?
FUGELSANG: Well, again, even Chris Wallace said that the numbers were bunk. And this is the job losses we were having under George W. Bush. I know we hate to say the "B" word, Will, but we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. And these job losses are based on Bush's 2009 budget before the all-hated stimulus went into effect.

"Arbitrary makes math not true." -- Soledad O'Brien
Submitted by Galvanic on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 8:36pm.
The math is true. There's nothing arbitrary about the starting point. It was January 2009.
We could start at December 2008, since that was the first month after Obama's election. That wouldn't be arbitrary either.
Think that's a stretch? Well, Obama was still blaming Bush for jobs lost in 2009 and 2010 to the point where even DNC Chair Wasserman-Schultz had to declare in 2011 that "it was now their economy" and stop blamng Bush (though I think sthe still does).
Since Bush-43 didn't personally fire people, we don't know how much of the lay-offs were attributed to the outgoing Bush-43 or the incoming Obama.

"And these job losses are based on Bush's 2009 budget before the all-hated stimulus went into effect."
I thought Pelosi was refusing to vote on Bush's budgets. The Democrats were funding government with continuing resolutions.
While we are on the subject, didn't the greatest biggest badest depression of all time start only after the Democrats took charge of Congress in 2007?

And that all happened under Obama.
Submitted by CobraMan on Tue, 04/17/2012 - 1:48pm.
"They had to cut back on teachers. A lot of women are teachers. So you saw the later effects as the crisis spread to women, too."
And that all happened under Obama, in spite of having increased government spending to, you know, SAVE THOSE JOBS! THAT"S the part you want to hide: the the losses continued even after spending hundreds of billions of dollars to "prevent" them from happening! Obama went in from of Congress and BEGGED them for 800 billion dollars to SAVE THOSE JOBS! Money that was given to him. Well, how did that work out for him?
By the way, how many teachers actually lost their jobs? You would think that, after making this claim again and again, someone in the Obama administration would produce the "facts" that support that intention. But, alas, they merely make unsubstantiated assertion that, somehow, the 98 percent of women who lost their jobs were all teachers while hypocritically claiming that Romney's statement is "deceptive."
Liberals: it's time to put up or shut up. How many women who lost their jobs since Obama took office were teachers? I'm willing to bet that the majority of women laid off over the last 3 years were NOT teachers! I'm willing to be that the majority of them worked in retail!
Both the Obama administration and the liberal media are playing us as fools! They don't want to admit that the majority of job losses under the Obama administration occurred in the retail sector after the manufacturing/construction losses occurred. For that how massive layoffs due to a shrinking economy progresses. First we lose manufacturing and construction jobs, mostly a male employment sector. Then we lose retail jobs, mostly a female employment sector. The, and ONLY then, do we lose government jobs, and this is because, after both the manufacturing/construction and retail sectors fail, there's no money left to fund government. But it always follows the same progression: First manufacturing/construction, then retail, and then civil service.
Be honest with us, liberals, the retail sector failed AFTER Obama took office. We can argue whether it's his fault or not, but you can't argue that it didn't happen! We didn't just skip over the retail sector and go straight to laying off civil servants like teachers.
Tell the truth, liberals! Obama was supposed to save the retail sector by "shoring up" the manufacturing/construction sector (you know, those "shovel ready" jobs), remember?" That was something he failed to do. He failed because, unlike he said he was going to do, most of the "stimulus" money when into the civil service sector, where it wasn't needed and not the manufacturing/construction sector, where it was desperately needed.
Just where did the majority of that "stimulus " money go, you may ask? It went to the one that was the least threatened sector, for no apparent reason other than this was the sector that the Obama administration was the most worried about. Because of this, because of Obama's focus being primarily on the civil service sector, the retail sector failed, with the result that Obama was forced to "offer" people yet another "stimulus" in the form the federal payroll tax "holiday." A scheme that came far to late, and had too little effect, to save the retail sector. The retail sector failed, leading to massive layoffs within that sector, which caused most of the women in question to lose their jobs. The civil sector layoffs didn't begin until almost a year AFTER the retail sector failed in 2010, a year after Obama took office.
If he HAD done what he said he was going to do, shore up the manufacturing/construction sector, the retail sector would have been ok. But, no, he decided to shore up the civil sector, which didn't need shoring up, and, as expected, manufacturing/construction didn't increase employment which caused the retail sector to fail and a lot of people lost their jobs. Mostly women.
What amazes me the most about all of this is that, despite seeing it happen before their very eyes, despite discussing how badly the retail sector was doing in 2010, despite claiming that "unemployment insurance extensions" will increase sales and save the retail sector, a plan that didn't work, obviously, as it still targeted the wrong sector, all the liberals are STILL focused mainly upon the civil service sector in both their arguments and their spending priories! Will they EVER learn?

JONESBORO, Ga. (AP) - A grand jury has released a report blasting some elected officials and county employees in Clayton County, just south of Atlanta.
The report, filed Tuesday afternoon, came more than two years after Clayton Superior Court Judge Matthew Simmons ordered two dozen residents to look into possible corruption in city and county government.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/19SjaJX) obtained portions of the report after parts of it were shared in advance with agencies coming under criticism.
The report accuses some officials of abusing their powers and using their positions to help themselves, their relatives and their friends.
This special grand jury lacked authority to bring indictments. However, District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson said there are ongoing criminal investigations related to the grand jury's work.

This year I decided to begin what will (I hope) become an annual tradition: opening a few extravagant bottles after Thanksgiving to enjoy. Throughout the year, various bottlings are discontinued, put on sale, or stumbled upon unexpectedly. As with most aficionados I have accumulated a pile of bottles "for a special occasion". Instead of hoarding them, I'd like to make sure I have at least one spot on my calendar where I will definitely make a dent in them.
This year I have four bottles that I've opened. One was found at a great price, one I'd wanted for a while, one unexpected dusty find and one very new bottling. I'll be revealing these over the next couple weeks with my thoughts on them.
First up is Glenmorangie Signet. I've been curious about this bottle for ages. It's an incredibly classy presentation – a nice bottle that doesn't resemble a still; nice type and design; a rich-looking fade from black on the bottle, and an unusual and borderline over-the-top metal ring treatment at the neck and stopper of the bottle. The stopper is probably the heaviest I've ever felt. It actually weighs nearly a quarter of a pound. I guess that'll keep any angels from stealing beyond their share.
The Signet comes in a very oversized box, which contains the bottle – obviously – and a small flip book. The flip book is a curious addition; I can honestly say I've never seen a whisky package that includes one. Opposite the flip animation is a bit of marketing copy that is completely over the top. If you took it at face value, you'd probably believe that Signet is somewhere between germ theory and the wheel in terms of importance to humanity. The box lid itself inverts and becomes a presentation-style base for the whisky bottle. If it's as amazing as the book would indicate, this is the least that can be done for such an important whisky.
All this is great: a very nice presentation. But what about the contents of this handsome package?
Glenmorangie Signet, as the story goes, is made using a large proportion of older whisky, as well as some younger whisky made with chocolate malted barley. The beer drinkers know what this means: the barley is roasted until it is deep in color. No actual chocolate was used in the production of this whisky, unless a distillery employee happened to be eating a bar of chocolate. (Remember, single malt Scotch whisky is always water and barley. Any more than that and their trade group gets a bit persnickety)
Thumbs up to Glenmorangie for finding a new way to innovate within the fairly restrictive parameters for single malts. Most other innovations have been largely in the direction of finishing in unusual barrels – which seems to be part of a marketing arms race versus a substantial improvement in aroma, taste or mouthfeel. Some experiments are a success but the vast majority are a push – and some an outright disaster. I'd be very curious to see what else could come of experimenting with malts as there's a lot of room to experiment here.
Pouring the Signet into the glass and nosing, there's an initial surprise. Despite its 46% ABV stated on the label, it's got a surprisingly lively nose. There's definitely a little heat on it. There's a sweetness with some cherry notes, as well as some definite notes of sherry in there as well. Plums and dry fruit come in quickly after, with a bit of leather and some fig. The leather also has an old study character to it. The malty aspects of the nose do slightly hint in the direction of a stout; clearly the result of the chocolate malt. There's also something that tastes like a mix of dark chocolate and espresso. It's a multilayered nose but it works together. It screams "December" to me.
The palate doesn't disappoint: It's warm and rich, with heat and sherry. There's a slightly bitter presence of oak. The mouthfeel is thick and rich with dried fruit. The chocolate malt comes through again, giving it a sweet, slightly bready characteristic with dark chocolate and espresso as well. The palate doesn't surprise after the nose. The finish is drying with dark dried fruit. The wood is pretty apparent in the finish but it's not a bitter presence. At the very end, some malty sweetness peeks out.
This whisky is a big, rich, full and easygoing whiskey. If I were to draw a parallel to anything on the market, my first instinct would be Macallan 18. I'd probably be willing to drink this as a replacement for Macallan 18 at any given time. It's got a lot of the same notes and a similar character. Unfortunately, Signet retails for about $50 more than Macallan 18, so why bother if that's the sole characteristic?
Overall it's enjoyable in a not-very-challenging way (high marks for a holiday whisky or potentially something to serve to people who aren't hardcore spirits dorks. It's tasty but not particularly nuanced. I'd be curious to see what happens if more chocolate malt was in the mix – it might not work. Overall, it's good but it needs something to punch it up.
Reflecting on this one in terms of a value for the money standpoint – one I admit I don't do often – I can't help but think that this would be dramatically cheaper if the packaging was a more common sleeve or tin and the presentation base and flip book were done away with. If this were price-competitive with Macallan 18, as mentioned above, I would seriously consider it as a substitute. As it is, it seems a bit overpriced for what it is. it's a unique experiment and I certainly hope Glenmorangie tries more. However, given the packaging of Signet (and the over-the-top presentation of Pride), it seems that Glenmorangie's most interesting experiments will be unfortunately sequestered to the glass case with a high price tag. In all fairness to Glenmorangie, I have heard the Pride is great (from a friend who tried some at a tasting) – but at $2500+ a bottle, I'll never know.
At a glance
Glenmorangie Signet 46% ABV
Nose: An initial surprise with some stronger-than-expected alcohol notes. A sweetness on the nose with some cherry notes, some sherry characteristics, plums, dried fruit, a light leather-and-old-study note and some fig. There's a malty presence that is a bit like a stout, no doubt owing to the use of chocolate malt. There's a slight espresso-meets-chocolate note. After a bit there's a more direct barley note.
Palate: Warm and rich on the palate, with a very slight bitter oak to it, sherry notes present, surprising heat again. Thick in the mouth, dried fruit again. Slight bread, slight sweet notes of malt. Dark chocolate, a bit of espresso.
Finish: Drying and with dark, dried fruit. Wood pretty apparent but not bitter. A bit of malt sweetness peeking out at the end.
Comment: This is a big, full, easygoing whiskey. This would be one that I'd use as a "worthy replacement for Macallan 18″ but it's about $50 more, so what's the point? Enjoyable but not challenging, tasty but not particularly nuanced. I'd be curious to see what happens if there was a bit more chocolate malt in the mix. It's good but needs something to punch it up.

There's no airport or bridge. The only way to reach St. John is by boat. I sat on the bow as we sailed the short half hour from St. Thomas east across Pillsbury Sound when I saw our neighboring U.S. Virgin Island with new eyes. First, dead ahead were the sure signs of civilization. Cruz Bay is the largest town on this 20-square-mile island with a permanent population of just under 3,000 that swells to nearly 5,000 in snowbird season. Then, and here's the real story, to the right are hillsides dotted with dozens of buildings, while on the left is a nearly unbroken expanse of lush green from sea to summit. The contrast is spectacular and brilliantly illustrates what makes St. John so different from its sibling Virgins. It's the combination of pristine park and historical sights combined with all the creature comforts that makes it so much fun to explore.
Meander 12 miles up the Cape Fear River from North Carolina's ICW and a massive gray battleship from World War II looms off port, the North Carolina. A sternwheeler riverboat appears to starboard, the Henrietta II. Welcome to the historic port city of Wilmington, North Carolina, a major shipbuilding center during World War II that still supports a number of boatbuilders. These maritime icons reside in a city full of historic homes, cobblestone streets, art galleries and shops, fine seafood, and beckoning beaches. Even if it's your first time visiting, you may find the scenery familiar from its many silver screen and television show appearances, an important part of Wilmington's more recent history.

With over nine minutes remaining in the first half, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed a 20-yard pass to tight end Michael Palmer. As linebacker Vontaze Burfict positioned himself to make the tackle at Atlanta's 45-yard line, safety Taylor Mays entered the picture in an obvious attempt to decleat Palmer. Problem was that the tackle was being made and instead of hitting Palmer, Mays' shoulder hit Burfict in the head.
Momentarily laying on the ground, Burfict eventually made it to his feet and walked to the sidelines, taking a knee without reaching the sidelines. Medical trainers momentarily checked the linebacker before leaving the field. The Bengals announced at half time that Burfict won't return to the game, though they have yet to announce the initial prognosis. Not that we're questioning what it possibly could be.
I don't know if it was as a direct result, but Taylor Mays made a tackle undercutting a run that also hit Rey Maualuga around the legs. It was the same play that Maualuga suffered his knee sprain.

Charges have been dropped against a Charlotte Observer reporter arrested while covering protesters at the North Carolina legislature.
Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby said Thursday charges were dismissed against reporter Tim Funk. Willoughby says a video of Funk's arrest showed a journalist doing his job and not taking part in the protest.
Willoughby said he believes Funk is the first of more than 930 people arrested during the weekly Moral Monday protests to have charges dropped. The DA says about a dozen other protesters have been offered dropped charges if they perform community service and pay court costs.
The 58-year-old newsman was arrested June 10 while interviewing clergy members protesting the policies of the Republican lawmakers who control the legislature. Funk faced misdemeanor trespassing and failure to disperse charges.
