As I blogged about a week and a half ago, I'm moving on to a new job. (Here's my farewell column.)
I'll set up a URL redirect on www.eyeonolympia.com in the next day or so. Tempting though it is to steer you faithful readers to The Onion, I'll probably set it up to go to the excellent political blog of Jim Camden. It's called Spin Control.
Keep it bookmarked. And thanks for reading.
The state's seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate is now 9.3 percent, up 2/10ths of a percent from May's revised rate of 9.1 percent.
"We are beginning to see signs that our economy may be stabilizing and recovery efforts are working, but it will take time," Gov. Chris Gregoire said.
Where are the jobs being lost? Government cut 4,600 jobs, retail cut 2,100, and education/health-care services and construction each lost 1,200 jobs.
Compared to last year, Washington had 117,800 fewer jobs than a year ago.
The state's Employment Security Department estimates that 329,983 Washingtonians are unemployed and looking for work.
The Faith & Freedom PAC, one of several groups trying to get a referendum on the November ballot to repeal the state's "everything but marriage" law for domestic partners, says that it has gathered more than half the signatures it needs.
"Conservatively, we have a little over 75,000 signatures to date," PAC president Gary Randall said in an email to supporters Friday.
To get Referendum 71 on the ballot, proponents need 120,577 valid voter signatures. Campaigns typically figure on a "cushion" of about 25 percent more to compensate for unregistered voters, etc. So the R-71 people are about halfway there.
"We think this is good news, however it points out exactly how much work is left to do in just two weeks," Randall wrote Friday. (The signature deadline is July 25th.)
"Please be sure to see that petitions are in your church during the next two Sundays," he continued. "If your pastor will mention it from the pulpit, that would be very helpful."
He also said that the Knights of Columbus were launching a statewide push for signatures this past weekend.
Opponents of the measure have laid the groundwork for an opposition campaign, but seem to be waiting first to see if the measure actually gets on the ballot. The clock's ticking, and it looks like an uphill battle to get enough signatures in the final days. But stay tuned.
And this time, it's me.
After nearly 9 years covering Olympia for an Eastern Washington audience, I'm taking a public-affairs job with the state insurance commissioner's office.
I love what I do, and am deeply grateful to the Spokesman-Review and to everyone who's clicked on this blog or read my stories. But given the worrisome state of newspapers — round after round of layoffs, a pay cut, a furlough — it would have felt irresponsible to not jump at a job that feels like a good fit and a new opportunity.
S-R management is still figuring out what to do, but early indications are that they'll replace me and keep the bureau open. That's good news. I've watched the permanent press corps here dwindle down to 8 people, and Eastern Washington in particular needs some eyes on the puzzle palace that Olympia can be.
I'll have more to add on my last day, later this month. For now, I'll end this the way I end all my e-mail replies to readers:
Thanks for reading.
Much talk — particularly from Republicans — today about Boeing's decision to spend $580 million to buy a South Carolina plant that makes parts for the delayed new 787 aircraft.
First out of the gate, at 5:45 a.m. this morning, was the governor's office, releasing this statement by Gov. Chris Gregoire:
"Yesterday, I spoke with Scott Carson, who informed me of Boeing's decision to purchase the Vought facility in South Carolina. I recognize that this announcement underscores that Boeing wants to ensure that it manufactures the 787 Dreamliner as efficiently as possible, thus they have made the decision to buy Vought. In my conversation with Scott, he assured that no decision has been made on a potential second line for the 787, and that today's announcement doesn't have anything to do with that. Washington state is proud to be home of the world's best airplane manufacturer and most skilled aerospace workforce."
State officials are clearly nervous at the prospect of Boeing launching a full-on jet assembly line anywhere outside Washington state. Those same jitters are what prompted then-Gov. Gary Locke to champion a $3 billion package of tax incentives for the company in 2004.
Republicans and business leaders seized on the move as evidence that Washington's not doing all it can to keep the massive employer (and taxpayer) expanding here. Most pointed to strikes by Boeing workers as a big part of the problem.
"Work stoppages over the past several years have cost Boeing $9 billion in revenue and $2 billion in lost profits — and Washington had the most aerospace work stoppage days of any state in which the company does business," said state Sen. Mike Hewitt, R-Walla Walla.
Hewitt cited a recent aerospace competitiveness report that listed top concerns as labor-management relations and costs like unemployment insurance, workers' compensation and taxes. He blasted Democrats for "a myriad of business-busting bills" in Olympia. And he said that Boeing and other aerospace jobs are 15 percent of the state's economy.
Business leaders issued their own, similar statements. A sampling:
"Unless things change, Boeing's future will be outside the Northwest and that will be devastating to the Washington economy…Airlines simply can't make billion-dollar decisions on new aircraft and then face the prospect of delivery delays because of labor disputes…If Seattle wants to keep Boeing, they better stand up and show it, because there are dozens of other states that will welcome the jobs and the economic activity."
-John Stanton, chairman of the Washington Roundtable
"Boeing and aerospace are as important to the vitality of this region as the Mariners and the Seahawks. They need to know how much they are valued."
-Phil Bussey, Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce president
"This is our wake-up call."
-Don Brunell, Association of Washington Business president
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray says she's included $11 million in a senate spending bill for a new "Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape" training facility at Fairchild Air Force Base.
The SERE training teachers aviators what to do to avoid capture and survive if downed behind enemy lines. The current training facility is more than 50 years old, Murray said, and increasingly outdated. Maintenance alone on the buildings costs more than $140,000 a year, she said.
The bill is the 2010 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs funding bill. It now heads to the Senate appropriations committee for consideration.
Ran across an interesting list recently while writing about budget cuts to the state Poison Center, (the logo for which probably makes the state's tourism folks squirm.)
The budget-cut changes, by the way, include forking over $30 on your credit card to get advice about a poisoned pet. The center fields a surprising number of these calls, including from owners of iguanas, guinea pigs, spiders and fish.
Deaths from unintentional drug overdoses are now the No. 1 cause of accidental deaths in Washington, according to the center's medical director, Dr. William Hurley.
For humans, here's the center's "top 10 human poisonings list for 2008":
-Benzodiazepine (tranquilizer)
-diaper-rash products (eaten, presumably)
-ethanol (meaning alcoholic beverages)
-children's acetaminophen/Tylenol
-antihistamines like Zyrtec and Claritin
-silica gel (those little white "do not eat" packets that keep dry foods dry)
-regular acetaminophen/Tylenol
-systemic antibiotics (often used for acne)
So what measures will voters see on the fall ballot?
Well, they won't see Initiative 1043, which would have required the state to verify that someone's a citizen or legal immigrant before issuing them a driver's license or most public benefits. It also would have banned nonprofit groups from offering job-seeking help unless people could prove that they weren't an illegal immigrant.
Backers apparently tried to put the measure on autopilot, printing full-size petitions in papers in Yakima and Spokane (including the Spokesman-Review) and then watching the mailbox in hopes of getting the hundreds of thousands of signatures needed.
It didn't work. At least not in time. The deadline for signatures was Thursday.
"Though Respect Washington's mailbox recently overflowed with petition returns following placement of 186,000 petitions in newspapers statewide, more weeks would have been necessary to accumulate the required 241,153 signatures," the group said in a recent email to supporters.
The group says it intends to try again next year.
Also not making it this year are measures that would have:
-banned "use of public money or lands for anything that denies or attempts to refute the existence of a supreme ruler of the universe,"
-repealed the state's business tax in favor of a flat corporate income tax,
-created a state-run health insurance agency,
-and repealed the state's helmet law for motorcyclists, as well as the laws requiring people to wear seatbelts and wear orange for some hunting.
Still in play is Referendum 71, which asks voters to do away with a new law granting registered domestic partners most of the rights and responsibilities of spouses. Since it's a referendum rather than an initiative, the deadline is three weeks later.
And last but not least, Tim Eyman and Spokane associates Mike and Jack Fagan on Thursday dropped off what they said was 314,277 signatures for their Initiative 1033. The measure would limit city, county and state general-fund revenues to increasing at the rate of inflation and population growth. Anything over that would be put in a special fund that would go toward lowering property taxes. With about 70,000 signatures more than required, Eyman said the measure's "a slam-dunk" to make it onto the ballot. (Still, election workers will check, comparing a sample of signatures to those on voters' registration cards.)
Here's a thumbnail of the arguments you can expect from both sides in the coming months:
Eyman: "This is a clear message from the voters to all governments in Washington State that we don't have bottomless wallets."
Opposition spokesman Christian Sinderman: If it passes, Washingtonians will less maintenance of roads and sidewalks, less care for senior citizens, more crowded classrooms "and a general degradation in the things we hold dear."
Four months 'til Election Day.
We've lost another good one: Olympian reporter Adam Wilson is leaving to become the speechwriter for Gov. Chris Gregoire. With a young family to support and a longtime interest in politics and policy, the job seems like a good fit for Wilson in this age of pay cuts, furloughs and layoffs in the news business.
Wilson's colleague, Olympian politican editor Brad Shannon, has the story about the move and what it means for the shrinking capitol press corps, which now numbers fewer people than a soccer team. From Shannon's blog post:
Now a word on the downside. My back-of-the-envelope tally is this leaves the state with about eight full-time Olympia-based journalists to cover the Capitol, less than half what we had a year ago.
The state budget picture is much, much worse. From the Financial Times:
Once the US's richest state, California now has the dubious distinction of having the worst credit rating in the country….
California's fiscal year ends on Wednesday but as the state's cash reserves are empty, IOUs will be issued to a range of creditors, including contractors, such as information technology companies and the food service groups that cater for prisons.
ALSO: An unrelated tech note. We've had some reports of RSS feed problems, which we think we'v now got fixed. If you're having problems, please shoot me an e-mail.
Local farmers today filed a lawsuit against a large-scale feedlot in Franklin County, saying that the cattle operation could use hundreds of thousands of gallons of groundwater a day in one of the driest areas of the state.
The case could mushroom into more than just a Franklin County water fight. A critical change in water law came when Attorney General Rob McKenna — widely assumed to be a future candidate for governor — issued a controversial opinion in 2005. Wells for watering livestock have for decades been exempt from many water regulations, but the state Department of Ecology had long said that such wells are limited to pumping 5,000 gallons a day. In response to a query from Sen. Bob Morton, R-Kettle Falls and then-Rep. (now Sen.) Janea Holmquist, R-Moses Lake, McKenna, however, said that Ecology didn't have the right to automatically limit such wells to 5,000 gallons. (McKenna also, however, noted that Ecology could step in and impose limits on any water withdrawal in critical problem areas. He also pointed out that lawmakers can modify water law however they wish.)
Now, according to the Spokane-basede Center for Environmental Law and Policy, Easterday Ranches Inc. wants to build a feedlot for up to 30,000 head of cattle, using the stock-watering exemption to pump up to 600,000 gallons a day.
"after over 100 years of conservative farming on some of the driest land in Washington, our lives and our livelihoods are in jeopardy from this huge industrial feedlot," dryland wheat farmer Scott Collin said in a press release announcing the lawsuit today.
(The full text of the press release is below, after the jump.)
This sounds counterintuitive, until you look at the price of a box of macaroni and cheese versus that of a handful of stir-fry vegetables:
According to the private Washington State Budget & Policy Center, shoppers in rural Washington have a harder time getting fresh fruits and vegetables on their tables. From the group's report:
…For those living in poverty and struggling to keep food on the table, financial and geographic barriers make it harder to shop at grocery stores. As a result, they often turn to corner markets or gas-station mini-marts for food, where there are fewer healthy options."
"Ironically, in the areas of our state where much of the nation's fresh fruits and vegetables are grown, families are having trouble finding them in the stores where they shop," said Stacey Schultz, a policy analyst and author of the report.
She also cites an interesting recent study in Chicago that found that obesity rates increased as access to grocery stores decreased. It focused on the urban version of the problem, labeling vast stretches of the Chicago area "food deserts" (not desserts).
"While many of us take food options for granted, residents of the food desert
often cannot choose between eating an apple instead of a candy bar, a salad instead of french fries, or fresh skinless chicken instead of deep fried, high-fat chicken," the Chicago study said.
Washington state's government, as well as the feds, have helped by expanding eligibility and benefits for food stamps and paying for programs that focus on getting fruits and vegetables to children and seniors, she says. The state recently passed legislation that gives schools with a high number of low-income students more money to buy locally grown fruits and vegetables. (I think the law also streamlined bidding rules to make it easier to buy the produce from area farms.) The Women, Infants and Children food program is also focusing more on fresh produce, and many farmers' markets — including in Spokane — are starting to accept food stamps.
The Washington report (see page 4), includes a map that shows that across broad swaths of Eastern Washington and the Olympic Peninsula, the average drive to a grocery store is 15-38 miles. These are also often the areas of the state "with the highest poverty rates and high rates of food insecurity," writes Schultz.
The report doesn't however, try to gauge the impact of vegetable gardens, which poor, rural residents presumably are more likely to have.
It's summer, and my blog numbers need a boost, so here's this, from the Associated Press:
Fans of the giant Palouse earthworm are once again seeking federal protection for the rare, sweet-smelling species.
The worm has been seen only four reported times in the past 110 years, but supporters contend it is still present in portions of eastern Washington and northern Idaho.
The worm can reach 3 feet in length, is white in color and reportedly possesses a unique lily smell.
Environmental groups are asking the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the worm as an endangered species.
The Bush administration rejected an earlier petition, but supporters hope to have better luck with the Obama administration.
From the print paper:
OLYMPIA – Encouraged by the large turnout this spring at anti-tax rallies, critics of government spending are planning a new round of demonstrations July 4.
Events are planned in more than 20 Washington cities, including Spokane Valley, as well as in Sandpoint and Boise. One rally in Olympia – the first of two – took place Saturday.
"It's gotten to a point, with the out-of-control spending and the government nationalizing the auto industry, banking and things like that, that it's woken the silent majority up," said Dan Rehling, of Olympia, who's organizing the July 4 demonstration at the Washington state Capitol. "This is my prediction: It's going to be the biggest rally the Capitol has ever seen."
The demonstrations are modeled on April 15's anti-tax demonstrations, which drew thousands of people to the Statehouse and other sites across the state.
"We're not against taxes. We're against unreasonable taxation beyond the scope of the Constitution," said Dann Selle, a spokesman for a group that is organizing the Spokane-area rally July 4. It's tentatively slated for Plantes Ferry Park in Spokane Valley.
Much of organizers' ire is directed at the Obama administration's moves to try to right the economy, including federal stimulus spending.
"All these people are saying it's just a bunch of right-wing extremists living on the fringe," Rehling said. "I am not that person. I'm just an average Joe that is fired up."
State Rep. Brendan Williams said the demonstrators' passions are misplaced.
"It would have been nice if they were protesting the excesses of the Bush administration that got us into this economic calamity," said Williams, D-Olympia. "Now they seem to be faulting Obama for trying to dig us out."
From tomorrow's paper:
OLYMPIA _ We're still growing, but it's slowing.
That was the verdict Monday from Washington's Office of Financial Management, which churns out annual population estimates for the state, cities and counties.
Washington's population as of April 1, 2009, the agency estimates, was 6,668,200. That's up about 80,600, or 1.2 percent, from a year earlier.
That's a big change from 1991's increase of about 155,000 people, or 2006's 125,000.
A major factor in the state's growth is job-related migration here, said the state's chief demographer, Theresa Lowe. The two top states And while Washington's economic prospects are better than California's or Oregon's, she said, migration to Washington is less than half of what it was three years ago.
"Many job seekers are finding it difficult to sell their homes" and don't want to risk having to pay two mortgages, she said.
Also, she said, immigration to America has slowed, and many immigrants here have returned home due to the lagging economy.
The city-population estimates also mean that Spokane maintains its claim as second largest city in the state. Spokane has about 205,500 people, an increase of about 10,000 in the past decade. Tacoma, which came within 600 residents of claiming the title in 2005, now has 203,400. Seattle has 602,000.
The state budget office extrapolates the numbers from changes in school enrollment, voting records, housing, driver's licensing and other data.
Monday report shows that housing growth has slowed in most major metropolitan areas of the state except Seattle. New homes, including manufactured homes, numbered about 2,000 in Spokane County last year. That's about half the rate in 2005-2006.
Most of the population growth since the 2000 census has been concentrated in Western Washington, according to OFM. The fastest-growing counties are Franklin (47 percent), Clark (25 percent), Thurston (21 percent) and Kittitas (20 percent).
A second set of numbers is due out Wednesday, when the U.S. Census Bureau will issue population estimates for July 1, 2008.
(After the jump, I included numbers for some cities in our readership area.)
Here's to Two, Spokane.
The Lilac City continues to cling to it's position as the state's second-largest city, once again beating out the City of Destiny — Tacoma, that is — by about 2,000 people.
The state Office of Financial Management today released its annual population estimates as of April 1, 2009. Locally, here's how cities stack up:
Spokane: 205,500
Tacoma: 203,400
Spokane Valley: 89,440 (7th largest city in state, a position Spokane Valley's held since 2006)
Pullman: 27,600 (37th)
State budget-cut fallout: trash in state-owned buildings only emptied twice a week, carpets cleaned once a year.
More state budget fallout: Health insurance costs likely to rise next year for state workers. On the most popular plan, the Uniform Medical Plan, would rise from $82 a month for a family to $126 a month. For individuals, the cost would rise from $26 a month to $41.
More state budget fallout: Fewer prisoners to fight forest fires.
More state budget fallout: The capitol visitor's center, often a first stop for tourists swinging by Olympia, is closing Wednesday.
And the state's Poison Center, which fields calls from panicked people whose children and pets have apparently ingested poisons, says that callers can expect to spend more time on hold, will initially get a phone-tree, and will be asked for a $30 credit-card payment before the staff answer poison questions about pets.
Retired Woodinville financial advisor Mike Dunmire's been a lifeline for initiative promoter Tim Eyman, pouring a steady cash infusion into Eyman's signature-gathering (and income-producing) funds.
So for people who watch campaign finance reports on the Public Disclosure Commisson site, it's become a bit of a parlor game to try to predict the waxing and waning of Dunmire's support. Is Dunmire tiring of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year bankrolling Eyman?
It doesn't seem so. Dunmire was among the diners at a dinner Friday in which Eyman — a king of self-promotion — presented bobblehead figurines of himself, awarded to the highest bidders. (Price: $1000 for two.)
Eyman asked some of the two dozen people in attendance to send an email about why they support Eyman and his efforts. Here's Dunmire's:
Why do I support Tim Eyman? Tim is the only individual looking out for the average citizen and the tax burden government imposes upon them. Tim's success is derived from several factors., however, first and foremost is that he has his finger on the pulse of the electorate better than anyone else in the state and is able to identify those key pro-taxpayer, pro-freedom, limit-government-power issues that resonate most with voters. His effort to get initiatives on the ballot is relentless and his track record of success is astounding, especially considering his opposition invariably expends 10 times his resources. Tim has the average citizen's interest at heart and taxpayers throughout the state owe him a debt of gratitude. My wife Phyllis and Mike live in Woodinville. Phyllis taught learning disabled children for 25 years and is now retired and spends her time with charities and showing horses. Mike, a retired financial advisor, spends his time involved with philanthropy, politics and poker.
Comments are welcome.
The Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund today launched a free phone hotline and website to gather accounts of threats or other harassment of people gathering signatures for Referendum 71. The ballot measure asks voters to throw out a new law granting state-registered domestic partners, including same-sex couples, most of the same rights as spouses under state law.
"If you have been threatened or suffered retaliation after signing an R-71 petition, or someone prevented you from signing an R-71 petition, please tell us what happened," the website says, urging people to fill out a "legal intervention request form."
"Washington voters shouldn't have to choose between being involved in the democratic process and opening themselves up to possible acts of retaliation as a result of having their personal information posted on the Web," ADF senior counsel Gary McCaleb said in a press release announcing the hotline and website.
The group maintains that the new law makes marriage and domestic partnerships "effectively the same except in name," a premise that legislative proponents deny.
The ADF's move is partly in response to whosigned.org, a group that's vowing to publicize the names of anyone who signs the petitions to put the measure on the fall ballot. Opponents are also running a "decline to sign" online pledge in hopes of preventing social conservatives from getting the roughly 150,000 signatures they'll need to trigger a statewide vote.
Wow. This just moved on the AP wire:
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — After going AWOL for seven days, Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that he'd secretly flown to Argentina to visit a woman with whom he'd been having an affair. He apologized to his wife and four sons and said he will resign as head of the Republican Governors Association.
"I've let down a lot of people, that's the bottom line," the 49-year-old governor said at a news conference where he choked up as he ruminated with remarkable frankness on God's law, moral absolutes and following one's heart. His family did not attend.
The woman, who lives in Argentina, has been a "dear, dear friend" for about eight years but, Sanford said, the relationship didn't become romantic until a little over a year ago. He's seen her three times since then, and his wife found out about it five months ago.
He told reporters he spent "the last five days of my life crying in Argentina" and the affair is now over. Sanford, a rumored 2012 presidential candidate, refused to say whether he'll leave office.
"What I did was wrong. Period," he said.

At Zermatt Resort, you'll notice that the luxury is in the details - whether it's the rich wood finishes of our ceilings or the personal attention you'll receive from our staff. The Swiss-German theme is reflected again among our dining options—from our well-known seafood buffet at Schneitter's Restaurant to authentic European baked items and gelato at Bäckeri and Eis Cafe.
To us, you are more than just a guest.

Sea Scout Advancement
Advancement is an important part of the Sea Scout experience. These experiences help Sea Scouts to set realistic goals to achieve rank, accomplish projects, and gain knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
There are many opportunities for advancement in Sea Scouts. Included are the trails to Eagle and Quartermaster. Each of these trails is a highlight experience, but each requires the Sea Scout to set his (or her, in the case of the Quartermaster Award) own goals and follow through to achievement. Sea Scouts can also pursue Venturing awards. The requirements for advancement were designed by Sea Scout youth to establish standards of performance for all Sea Scouts.

Horseman rides into Geneva Tuesday
Leslie Fender told those sitting around listening to him at the Highline Restaurant that he had left Dublin, Texas on April 2 and had ridden a total of 3,800 miles when he strode into southern Adams County with his pair of horses on Tuesday.
Fender had come from Detroit to Fort Wayne, where he was forced to stay overnight because there was a squabble as to whether or not his horses would be allowed in the city, down U.S. 27 through Decatur and Berne. He eventually wound up at the Highline for a hot lunch, due to the steady rain that had set into the area.
"These people around here are really nice," said Fender. "They are treating me so good."
Dick Clutter, president of the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, presented Fender with the key to the cabin at Affolder Park, and cooks at the Highline Restaurant promised to deliver supper to the surprise guest as part of his stay at the cabin.
Weather permitting, Fender was planning on leaving this morning for his continued trek to Alabama where he is going to work for a couple of years and eventually plan a trip from Alabama to California and Oregon.
"I've been playing this one by ear, just going as I go," said Fender, who said that he first dreamed of a horseback trip across the country when he was 10-years old. "That one I am going to have spend more time planning and organizing."
As news of Fender's arrival spread through the community, residents and young people came out to greet him. A group of students from South Adams High School who were on work day assignments visited Fender briefly at the Affolder Cabin and were fascinated by his tales of his travels as they met his horses, Cherokee and Angel.
The game plan for the horses, said Fender, is to ride one horse for a couple of days and then switch to the other. The one he had ridden then strolls behind Fender and relaxes from its burden the previous couple of days.
Fender's trip took him from Texas across the southern states to Florida, then north to Michigan, especially the Royal Oak area on the northern suburbs of Detroit, where he had once lived. After departing from Detroit, he meandered south, eventually through the Adams County area en route to Alabama, where he has plans of managing a restaurant for a couple of years.
"That's what I really do; I'm a restaurant manager, I managed one for 10 years once," said Fender.
Fender, who is 54-years old, considers himself to be quite fortunate. When he was 42, he had a major stroke, underwent special surgery and regained the use of his side and arm. The last few years, he spent "doctoring his mother" until she was well enough for him to travel.
"I bought Angel and Cherokee two and a half years ago," said Fender. "I spent a lot of time training Angel to ride for this trip. I rode her between 25 and 30 miles a day to break her in. Cherokee also broke into the routine for this trip.
"It took me 32 days to get out of Texas," said Fender. "If people offer me a place to stay or something to eat, I take it. People especially help when the nights are cold."
When he is on his own, he pitches his tent around 5 p.m. and looks for a good "mom and pop place" to eat supper. He noted that he loves to eat in the small restaurants along the way, although he occasionally eats out of convenience stores. He usually gets up around 5 a.m., to prepare for his journey for that day.
Fender said that he doesn't know what it is, but Angel, a quarter horse, and Cherokee, actually an equestrian Cherokee horse, have had a positive effect on his health. He noted that he has to have periodic checkups to verify his health and keep track of his "numbers."
"I haven't had to take any pills for two months," said Fender. "When I last saw the doctor, he said, 'I don't know what you are doing, but whatever it is, keep it up; you are in excellent health.
"I enjoy riding every day," commented Fender. "I love everything about this, the beautiful country, the people. I haven't been to a place in this country that isn't beautiful. It's a wonderful experience. Not everyone is fortunate enough to live out a dream from when they were 10-years old."
Fender said that he is keeping a detailed journal about his trip, writing about every place that he visits, which he hopes to convert into a book some time.

Coldplay - Have not played Washington since Viva La Vida came out.
Franz Ferdinand - New album and to me seem like a great fit for Sasquatch! maybe right before a headliner?
Band of Horses - New album this year and have their roots here in the Northwest.
Youth Group - I love this band from Australia. They put out a new album there in June and I believe it comes out in the U.S. in February. They are playing South by Southwest and would be a great Wookie stage band.
Weezer/Oasis Tour - Last year there was the R.E.M./Modest Mouse/National tour that came through Sasquatch! could Weezer and Oasis be this years version?
So what other rumors are out there? I know there are several on the Sasquatch! Message Board so check those out and add to them as well.
10 comments:
Here are my likely candidates... I've broken it into artists that have an album out in early 2009, then artists with later 2009 releases, or rumored to be releasing something in '09... and finally bands that released kick ass stuff last year and seem possible... and then the never gonna happen list at the end.
There are a few that I know will not happen (Coldplay, Green Day, Blur, Morrissey), but I put them up for posterity sake. Not much in the way of headliners here... Beck seems like a good candidate... maybe NIN to close out the festival with a "Lights in the Sky" show? I doubt they will still be touring that in May, though. Who knows... let the speculation begin.
I have bolded the ones I think are very likely.
Early 2009 Albums:
• Franz Ferdinand
• Neko Case
• The Decembrists
Late '09 Albums / TBA
• Sonic Youth
• Wilco
• Jay-Z
• Band of Horses
• Blur
• Green Day
• Morrissey
• AC Newman
• Metric
Albums Last Year:
• Kings of Leon
• The Killers
• The Raconteurs
• Coldplay
• Beck
• Nine Inch Nails
• TV on the Radio
• Deerhunter
• Black Kids
• Wolf Parade
• The Hold Steady
• Fleet Foxes
• Sam Roberts
• Tokyo Police Club
• Vampire Weekend
• Ben Folds
• Weezer
Rumored to be playing every year but never will:
• Radiohead
• Pearl Jam
• Neil Young
- January 10, 2009 at 2:24 PM
I would love it if Death Cab, the Kooks, The Long Winters, the Cold War Kids, The Presidents and What Made Milwaukee famous came again.
- January 10, 2009 at 5:01 PM
According to Portland radio station KINK.FM, Coldplay is playing Vancouver, WA on July 10, so that probably lessens the chances that they would be at Sasquatch.
- January 28, 2009 at 9:13 PM
- Coren said...
Yeah, to follow up to the above comment, they're hitting the Gorge on the 11th. So not impossible but highly unlikely
- February 2, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Animal Collective is booked pretty tight in May...I don't think it's possible for them to play.
- February 2, 2009 at 4:11 PM
Animal Collective being on Coachella is the only logical reason for them not to have a Seattle date lined up.
- February 3, 2009 at 9:55 PM

This is who I'd love to see at Sasquatch this year:
Vampire Weekend
Grizzly Bear
Passion Pit
Fever Ray
She & Him
Sleigh Bells
Faith No More
Dirty Projectors
The xx
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Camera Obscura
White Rabbits
Beach House
Thom Yorke
Julian Casablancas
Yo La Tengo
Owen Pallett
Middle East
The Big Pink
and Devendra Banhart!!!

I would loove for Local Natives to come back. I'd have to say they were my top pick of 2010.
- February 2, 2011 at 10:04 PM
I would like to see star slinger in the dance tent, and Diplo or Major Lazer as a night time headliner for the dance stuff. I think Gotye would fit the sasquatch profile too.
- November 26, 2011 at 6:16 PM
Red hot chili peppers are also a possibility. They have announced that they would play festivals in 2012 and there are only a few left to be announced: sasquatch and outside lands being the main ones.

Since bollard lights need to be placed all along the length of the walkway, pathway or driveway, the cost of operating these lights may become prohibitive. With the help of the LED lamps this problem is overcome. The maintenance and electric costs can be brought down with using LED driven bollards. The use of LED bollards helps reduce the operating expenses drastically over the life of the lights. LED bollards usually give off light from the top or the sides and serve as a great solution for outdoor way finding and for safety around outdoor walking areas.
In the field of outdoor decorative lighting, LED bollards make their presence felt by virtue of their unique designs and shapes. LED bollards are mostly made of metals or other sturdy materials with the area around the bulb covered with glass or transparent plastic to allow light to filter through. The stand may be designed, painted or otherwise decorated to improve the aesthetic appeal of the light structure. LED bollards are typically spaced out evenly and alternated on both sides of the pathway so as to impart uniform light. The bulbs or the covering glass may be colored.

I generally like a lot of tea. I do find I have a preference for flavored over unflavoured, but I do love a good straight tea as well.
Likes are too hard, since there are a lot. Dislikes are easier, so here they are.
Hibiscus. Blech. I can tolerate a little, depending on the brew, like Berry Good from Davids and Ruby Pie from Butiki…but in general, it's too tart and too strong for me.
Licorice. Anything that remotely resembles licorice is out too, so that includes fennel and anise. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
Florals. I'm cool with petals in the tea to make them look pretty, and I'm cool with teas like oolongs having a floral note, but strong florals can give me migraines. Rose and jasmine are the biggest offenders. This is one where it can vary on the blend, as I can handle Teavivre's Peach Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea because there is very little jasmine actually detectable in it.
Rooibos is hit or miss. I can do some, but not others. I handle green better than red, and honeybush better than rooibos.
Um, I have an extensive wishlist. It is both a list of things I want to get again, and things I want to try. If you are sending me something, and you want to know which is which, I'll tell you via PM.
My ratings don't have a particular scale or method, and may on occasion contradict themselves, but I'm honestly not fussed about that. Sometimes I don't even rate at all.
Uh, guess that's it.

This dynamic process is best seen on the 500-millibar chart. This chart shows the circulation of the atmosphere at roughly 18,000 feet (5486 meters) and is based on soundings taken by weather balloon on a twice-daily basis. These soundings are then plotted on a map and the lines of equal pressure are connected. Ridges extend toward the pole, are usually associated with warm, dry weather, and have the general shape of an upside down "U" in the Northern Hemisphere. Troughs extend toward the equator, are usually associated with cool, wet weather, and have the general shape of a "U" in the Northern Hemisphere. The area of greatest surface instability (thunderstorms) is usually immediately ahead of (to the right of) the 500 mb trough.
The daily difference in temperature may be lower in areas where a single air mass remains dominant. This can happen under a stable circulation pattern (at the jet stream level) that locks an air mass in place--for example, a strong zonal flow, or a stable ridge/trough pattern. The daily difference in temperature will be higher in areas that experience a greater frequency of frontal passages as cold arctic air moves southward and warmer, maritime air moves northward. This will happen under a variable circulation pattern, or along a stable storm track.
To quantify the variability in daily temperature, the average daily differences in temperature for the current month have been expressed as a ratio of the normal (1961-90) average daily difference. The magnitude of this ratio is expressed by the intensity of the shading on the map. Green shading indicates that daily variability in temperature was less than normal and may be a consequence of a dominant air mass. Red shading indicates that daily temperature variability was greater than normal reflecting a more frequent passage of differing air masses.
The national temperature index expresses temperature departure from the 60-year mean in terms of standard deviations. Each year's value is computed by standardizing the temperature for each of 344 climate divisions in the U.S. by using their 1931-90 mean and standard deviation, then weighting these divisional values by area. These area-weighted values are then normalized over the period of record. Positive values indicate warmer than the mean and negative values indicate cooler than the mean.
Because the USHCN data set has been adjusted to account for biases due to factors such as instrument changes, station relocation, and urban heat island effects, we use the USHCN data when calculating the long-term temperature time series. However the USHCN data set is not updated in near-real-time. For purposes of monitoring most recent changes in climate, we use the near-real-time data from the divisional database and the first difference approach to extend the USHCN time series. Combining the most recent climate division data with the USHCN time series, we calculate a first difference value using the most recent two years of data (e.g., 2001 – 2000) from the divisional database. We then add this first difference value to the last year (e.g., 2000) in the USHCN time series to obtain the current year's value (e.g., 2001).

Common to all types of drought is the fact that they originate from a deficiency of precipitation resulting from an unusual weather pattern. If the weather pattern lasts a short time (say, a few weeks or a couple months), the drought is considered short-term. But if the weather or atmospheric circulation pattern becomes entrenched and the precipitation deficits last for several months to several years, the drought is considered to be a long-term drought. It is possible for a region to experience a long-term circulation pattern that produces drought, and to have short-term changes in this long-term pattern that result in short-term wet spells. Likewise, it is possible for a long-term wet circulation pattern to be interrupted by short-term weather spells that result in short-term drought.
The Palmer Z Index measures short-term drought on a monthly scale. The Palmer Crop Moisture Index (CMI) measures short-term drought on a weekly scale and is used to quantify drought's impacts on agriculture during the growing season.
The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) (known operationally as the Palmer Drought Index (PDI)) attempts to measure the duration and intensity of the long-term drought-inducing circulation patterns. Long-term drought is cumulative, so the intensity of drought during the current month is dependent on the current weather patterns plus the cumulative patterns of previous months. Since weather patterns can change almost literally overnight from a long-term drought pattern to a long-term wet pattern, the PDSI (PDI) can respond fairly rapidly.
The hydrological impacts of drought (e.g., reservoir levels, groundwater levels, etc.) take longer to develop and it takes longer to recover from them. The Palmer Hydrological Drought Index (PHDI), another long-term drought index, was developed to quantify these hydrological effects. The PHDI responds more slowly to changing conditions than the PDSI (PDI).
While Palmer's indices are water balance indices that consider water supply (precipitation), demand (evapotranspiration) and loss (runoff), the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is a probability index that considers only precipitation. The SPI is an index based on the probability of recording a given amount of precipitation, and the probabilities are standardized so that an index of zero indicates the median precipitation amount (half of the historical precipitation amounts are below the median, and half are above the median). The index is negative for drought, and positive for wet conditions. As the dry or wet conditions become more severe, the index becomes more negative or positive. The SPI is computed by NCDC for several time scales, ranging from one month to 24 months, to capture the various scales of both short-term and long-term drought.

The other guitar hero games fall down from lack of decent songs IMO. But this one however has so many that ill be playing it for hours. (You might guess that i like Metallica haha). Theres some good tunes on there, however i was disappointed to see that blackened is missing.. oh well you cant have it all ey? And as for the hardest song on there.... Battery is in with a shout but I reckon "Disposable heroes" and "Fight fire with fire" wont be easy!!Cant wait for this to come out should be awesome

Halp, I don't have to ever kite him. HALP
I just wanted to mention that despite what Lore says in the video(s), melee can benefit from Shadow Crash puddles if they are within range of the boss. I was standing in them on our latest General Vezax attempts (a Ret Paladin: Alcarius on Garithos) and was getting 13 to 15k judgement crits. Our enhancement shaman was getting 14k Lightning Bolt crits when he used his Maelstrom stacks and our Blood DK was getting 7-8k Death Coil crits.
I would not recommend going out of your way to get these buffs however.
I'm doubting shadowfiend and hymn of hope work as they weren't mentioned in the video, but does anyone know if the JC trinket Figuring: Sapphire Owl works in this fight?
i have a concern not mentioned in the video and very tank related, which is threat.
last night we got our first attempts in on General 10man and there were some problems from casters (namely our moonkin). i'm assuming the only real solution is to tricks/misdirect every cooldown and to have DPS pace themselves, but i thought maybe someone could add some input for me.
On one attempt our moonkin even waited completely until the first shadow crash, applied dots and then pulled aggro in 2 starfire crits for 30k+ each.
Lore what player frame UI do you use? Ive looked at Xperl and Pitbull and neither have that 3d player frame for self or bosses that sits on the top like that. Id love to use it, what's it called?
It's pitbull.
Enable the portrait module, set it to 3D portrait, and set the orientation to Center. You can adjust the size accordingly.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. -Seneca
Everyone marvels at a square egg, but only the chicken understands the PAIN.
I don't mean to derail this thread but I play a DK tank(sorta retired now) too along with a warrior tank and I dont know if I heard wrong but I thought he said Icebound Fortitude is a 50% damage reduction but it actually is 20%(correct me if I am wrong its been a while since I have played DK).
I take this as it was just a mistake, so does it mean 20% reduction due IBF is enough for the encounter.
Also can a warrior with mitigation spec with glyphed Shield Wall and Last Stand do it? Because with that setup the warrior also has 1 min CD's?
We got Vezax to 10% last week in 10-man (only 2 attempts on 25), and the biggest problem I kept hearing about from my healers is the green puddles not always working. Sometimes they would stand in them and they wouldn't tick...and even exiting and re-entering, on occasion, wouldn't help...anyone else experience this?
tPaste, we had one priest also comment to this degree. Not sure what the mechanic is behind this.
Hymn of Hope has two components: one temporarily increases your mana, one regenerates mana.
The first part works, the second doesn't. You can get one free spell or two with the first part which still might matter on this fight.

Bedbugs Are Back
Some things really should just stay out of fashion. Bedbugs, long dismissed as a pest endured by our ancestors, are creeping back into modern life. If you visit a place that is infested with bedbugs, they can hitch a ride in your suitcase to begin a new colony in your house. You can't judge a bedbug by its bite. That nasty welt on your leg could have just as easily been caused by a flea or a mosquito. Here are some things you'll want to know about bedbugs, including what to do about them.

Huh. I thought they used to have it so you can see my armory somehow, but I'm not seeing a link. I'm too tired to load up armory, so my character is Lucen on Feathermoon.
I've procrastinated long enough on this. Now that I'm starting to get into ICC 10 (Festergut hits like a truck), these talents should get fixed. My biggest concern seems to be even with all the talents I have to reduce costs, grant more mana, etc., I still manage to run myself out of mana and dumping those talents are likely to make it worse. Is this something to be concerned about or should I just suck it up and find out where I hotkeyed my mana potions to?
Huh. I thought they used to have it so you can see my armory somehow, but I'm not seeing a link. I'm too tired to load up armory, so my character is Lucen on Feathermoon.
First of all, you shouldn't be needing any mana cost reduction talents, the int talent or even 2/2 SA - 1/2 is generally enough.
Especially in the case of ICC 10 bosses, the amount of damage you take should get you a lot of mana back from the heals on you.
I would look at the following things :
1) what judgement are you using? - i find that judgement of wisdom works best if you don't have another pally in your group
2) is divine plea kept up? (shouldnt be a problem during boss fight unless you didnt activate it at all)
3) are you using BoSanc?
I would also take points out of the intellect buff in holy tree and put it into toughness - your giving up 6% increase to your armor value which helps with all incoming physical damage for some mana points - that's really wrong
Other thing is would be your rotation - given that you don't have a point in the improved judgements talents in the ret tree suggests that you aren't using the 9-6-9 rotation - so if you're spamming consecrate a lot, it would explain why your mana drains really quickly - single boss fight especially where you dont have to hold aoe aggro, it would be preferable to use either holy shield or judgement over consecrate
ardent defender should be 3/3 - aside from the leap frogging - an extra 7% dmg reduction when at low hp is nothing to sneeze at
anyways to sum up:
I would look at the 3 points listed above as well as your consecration usage
That's probably a good summation of talents I'm missing. I'll need to take a closer look as to what to give up.
As for rotation, I generally just use whatever's off cooldown. If consecrate is all that's left, that's what I use. I never thought about missing a point in improved judgements as being a potential reason for running out of mana.
Running out of mana generally happens only in heroics, although sometimes it occurs when the other tank in a raid is the one with aggro on everything and I'm saving divine plea. Let me give one example where I often run out of mana. Heroic VH. Caster mobs where I can't block, dodge, or parry. Divine plea will almost always run out before the next group spawns (I also like to loot my kills, so that often causes Divine Plea to fall as well). And since I'm waiting for the mob to appear, the best way to snag initial aggro is consecrate.
Memorize which portals are four mobs and which are one or two. Only use Divine Plea on the four mob portals. This allows you to use consecrate in your normal rotation and hold them easier. On the two mob portals, make sure you are using Judgement of Wisdom and do not consecrate. If you watch Omen, you will see that you really do not need to cons on these ones to maintain a healthy threat lead in most situations. Also, you should only have 5 or 6k mana. Get the water that replenishes 19k and you can top off easily while waiting for the mobs to actually come out of the portal if you get behind on mana.
That is the ONLY place that I save Divine Plea. DP is refreshed when you hit a mob so even if you are off tanking, you can keep it going. If mana becomes an issue while off tanking, make sure you use Judgement of Wisdom and drop consecration from you rotation.
Your statement that you just use conscecrate if it is the only thing off cd make me think you don't understand the 969 rotation. Please google this as it is fundamental to paladin tanking.
the spec i would suggest is
if that link does not work look up Astoria on Azgalor
i have tried many specs and so far that one works best for me.
the healer u have in the instance depends on your mana regen if you run VH with a priest thats always bubbling you u wont get back mana.
for most heroics i dont use conscecrate. i have the glyph of hammer of the righteous ( makes your HoR hit one more target)
so for grabbing agro on the 4 mob pacs in VH i use Avengers Shield, then target the one it dident hit and use HoR and i never have issues.
I also noticed you have alot of defence you might want to switch some gems but that is just a suggestion.
also seal of command is very very good for trash or for 5 mans. AVS + HoR + SoC = amazing tps for trash or 5 mans.
if you have any spicific questions let me know
I'm already on a site dedicated to tanking. Why would I bother using Google? I guess maximizing threat didn't seem like a priority until recently. I started tanking at 70 in BC where the rules were stay alive and if the dps pulls aggro, it's their fault. If I'm understanding it right, there will be a time when judgement, holy shield, hammer of the righteous, and shield of righteousness will all be on cooldown anyway. And while I'm sure it's the best method when tanking a boss, how is it when tanking groups? You'll often have people attacking the wrong target and aoeing. When handling a group, I'll try to group them as close as possible and frontload as much threat on as many targets as possible.
I'll take a look at the spec that's posted. As for defense, I've been wondering if I should bother socketing yellow sockets for socket bonuses anymore. I think I stuck an enduring gem in my last one on the advice of another tank who has probably progressed a lot further than I have. Well, it's a bit off the original topic, but since it pertains to defense and someone asked if I had specific questions, I'm also wondering if I should switch trinkets, especially for Festergut. The first time, I didn't seem to have any trouble, but the second week I had to start off with the boss so the other tank would have him when all the blight got inhaled. The change in talents will be a start I'm sure, but it doesn't seem like I have much to use to keep myself alive. I've been activating my trinket and reactivating Divine Plea for extra dodge, then putting up Sacred Shield and hoping for the best...

Allegra (Fexofenadine)
What Is Allegra (Fexofenadine)?By Julie Marks
Medically Reviewed by Mona Khanna, MD
Allegra is the brand name of fexofenadine, an over-the-counter medication used to treat the signs and symptoms of allergies and hives.
Allegra is in a class of medications known as antihistamines, which stop the effects of histamine, a substance in your body that causes allergic symptoms by blocking the histamine receptor known as the H1 receptor.
Allegra causes less drowsiness than other antihistamines. It can help alleviate symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing; red, watery, or itchy eyes; itchy nose, throat or roof of the mouth; or itchy skin and rash.
Allegra comes in tablet and liquid form. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1995.
Allegra Warnings
Allegra helps control the symptoms of allergies or hives, but it does not cure them. You should continue to take the drug even if you feel well and do not experience symptoms.
Before starting Allegra, tell your doctor if you have or have ever had kidney disease.
Allegra may interfere with skin allergy tests and you may need to stop it before having these tests.
Use Allegra with caution in elderly patients, as they may be more sensitive to its effects. This drug can be used to treat hives in patients 6 months or older and to treat allergies and allergic reactions in patients 2 years of age and older.
Allegra's safety and effectiveness has not been confirmed in children younger than 6 months of age.
Pregnancy and Allegra
Before taking Allegra, tell your physician if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Because there are no controlled studies in human pregnancy, Allegra is only recommended for use in pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. Animal studies have shown dose-related decreases in weight gain and survival in rat pups.

Allegra FAQ
In This Section:
- I have been taking Singulair for my asthma (I also have an inhaler, which I use rarely, mainly if I have a panic attack). My insurance won't pay for Singulair and suggested Allegra instead. Is Allegra a treatment for asthma?
- Why should Allegra be taken with water only, not juice?
- I take Allegra-D 24-hour daily for allergies to dust, pollens, and things in the air. How can I eliminate that drug? Are there foods or a better means of controlling allergies?
- I'm taking Allegra for itchy skin, but I seem to be allergic to it. It makes me feel like I have a cold. Should I stop taking it?
- I'm taking Allegra-D 12 hour, for allergies, twice a day. My doctor says it may be causing my blood pressure to be slightly elevated. Is there a good alternative medication that won't cause the raise in blood pressure?
- What is the general cost for the generic drug fexofenadine?
- I have respiratory allergies and lactose intolerance. I take Allegra and Lactaid (as needed). Is this good enough or are there other alternatives?
I have been taking Singulair for my asthma (I also have an inhaler, which I use rarely, mainly if I have a panic attack). My insurance won't pay for Singulair and suggested Allegra instead. Is Allegra a treatment for asthma?A: Singular is used to treat asthma and allergy. Allegra is only indicated for treatment of allergy. The insurance company is probably thinking that Singular is being used for allergy and therefore recommending the use of Allegra as a substitute because it has a generic. Your doctor can contact your insurance company to request a prior authorization for the use of Singulair, explaining that it's used to treat asthma. Lori Poulin, PharmD Back to Top
Why should Allegra be taken with water only, not juice?A: Allegra (the generic name is fexofenadine) should not be taken with juices, as they can interfere with the absorption of Allegra (fexofenadine). Food, juices, and minerals (aluminum & magnesium in antacids and multivitamins) will prevent the absoprtion of Allegra (fexofenadine), making it less effective. Patti Brown, PharmD Back to Top
I take Allegra-D 24-hour daily for allergies to dust, pollens, and things in the air. How can I eliminate that drug? Are there foods or a better means of controlling allergies?A: To avoid allergies from dust, pollens, and allergens in the air, the American Academy of Family Physicians recommends showering or taking a bath before bedtime to wash off pollen and allergens on the skin and in the hair, avoid going outside during the heavy allergen times, keep windows and doors shut, and use the air conditioner in the home and in automobiles, instead of circulating outside air. Diet can help as well, and a study in Crete showed that a Mediterranean diet including nuts, grapes, tomatoes, oranges, and apples can help improve the immune response. Cold water fish that provide omega-3 fatty acids also have been shown to help. You can also find more information on allergies at http://www.everydayhealth.com/allergies/index.aspx. Patti Brown, PharmD Back to Top
I'm taking Allegra for itchy skin, but I seem to be allergic to it. It makes me feel like I have a cold. Should I stop taking it?A: It is possible to have an allergy to Allegra (fexofenadine) or one of its inactive components. Stop taking Allegra and call your doctor if you have fever, chills, body aches, cough, or other flu symptoms. Your doctor can evaluate your reaction and determine if Allegra should be continued. You may also find helpful information at http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/allegra Sarah Lewis, PharmD Back to Top
I'm taking Allegra-D 12 hour, for allergies, twice a day. My doctor says it may be causing my blood pressure to be slightly elevated. Is there a good alternative medication that won't cause the raise in blood pressure?A: The problem with Allegra-D, or Claritin-D, is they contain very large doses of pseudoephedrine. This is what the "D" represents in these medications. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the effect of the decongestant, they all work by constricting the vasculature, and if a patient happens to have high blood pressure, that is making things more difficult on the heart. While the antihistamines by themselves will probably be acceptable, many people with allergies feel that it does not work as well. Please ask your physician to see if you are a candidate for topical nasal decongestant sprays as they won't cause a 'systemic' reaction as does the pseudoephedrine. Also, speak with your physician about Singulair, as this works to attack allergies differently than Allegra. For more information on Singulair: http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/singulair Matt Curley, PharmD, MSCIS Back to Top
What is the general cost for the generic drug fexofenadine?A: Fexofenadine (Allegra) is an antihistamine that is used to treat the symptoms of allergies. The price of generic fexofenadine can vary depending on the wholesaler and pharmacy from which the medication is acquired. Pharmacies sell medication to consumers at a price that includes the cost for acquiring the drug from the wholesaler, plus a retail markup. If a third-party payer (for example, a health insurance company or Medicare) is providing coverage for fexofenadine, they determine the final cost of the product. Costs will vary from one plan to another, and the payer may cover or reimburse part or all of the cost. Michelle McDermott, PharmD Back to Top
I have respiratory allergies and lactose intolerance. I take Allegra and Lactaid (as needed). Is this good enough or are there other alternatives?A: Allegra (fexofenadine) is an antihistamine commonly used to treat the symptoms of seasonal allergies including sneezing, runny nose, cough, and itchy watery eyes. Both adults and children can take Allegra (fexofenadine) for their allergy symptoms. Common side effects associated with Allegra (fexofenadine) include nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, menstrual cramps, drowsiness, headache, and muscle pain. This is not a complete list of side effects associated with Allegra (fexofenadine). Avoid taking Allegra (fexofenadine) with antacids (e.g., Rolaids, Tums, or Maalox) and fruit juice (apple, orange, or grapefruit) because it can affect the absorption and effectiveness of Allegra (fexofenadine). Allegra (fexofenadine) should be taken as prescribed with a full glass of water. Other alternative treatments for seasonal allergies include oral long acting anti-histamines (Zyrtec, Claritin, and Xyzal), oral short-acting anti-histamines (Benadryl and Chlor-Trimeton), anti-histamine eye drops (Patanol, Pataday, and Alaway), and a variety of prescription nasal sprays (Flonase, Nasonex, Astelin, and more). The oral long acting anti-histamines (Zyrtec, Claritin, and Xyzal) are the most similar to Allegra (fexofenadine) and might be more effective on your allergies.
