Drive south on I-25 from Denver. Exit the highway at Meadow Parkway, when you see the trendy Castle Rock factory outlet center. The beehives are directly adjacent, to the north and west, in a field between the interstate and U.S. highway 85 that's owned by Vickers's development company, Dev Vic Ltd.
So far, there have been no unfortunate shopper/bee encounters. But you might wonder why Vickers (estimated family wealth: $50 million) would lease his land to a beekeeper and risk swarms of stingers buzzing next to one of the state's busiest shopping centers. Here's a clue: It has nothing to do with honey and a lot to do with the Douglas County property-tax bills being mailed out this month.
Douglas County is the fastest-growing county in the United States, so land here can be very expensive. This is particularly true of commercial land in desirable locations--such as Vickers's property next door to the factory outlet shops. Last year the county assessor pegged its value at a fat $5.7 million. On the open market, Vickers's land could fetch even more: Two companies are in the process of bidding against each other to develop the site into more factory outlets.
High land values usually translate into high property taxes. But Colorado has a series of laws that permit landowners to earn lower property values--and thus lower tax bills--if they can prove their land is used for certain types of agriculture.
Vickers is well aware of those laws. Last year he claimed that his commercially zoned property crammed between the interstate and the shopping center was actually a ranch. He insisted that, just like a real rancher, he was keeping ten bulls on the property.
There was a problem, though: When county appraisers visited the land, they couldn't find a fence. Noting that fences to keep livestock in (and, in this case, off the interstate and away from the factory outlets) were generally considered a necessary feature of ranching, the assessor's office denied Vickers's request. Which is when Vickers appears to have become interested in beekeeping.
For years beekeepers have trooped up to the State Capitol during each legislative session. Their cause has been single-minded: To convince lawmakers that beekeeping is a genuine agricultural business and thus deserving of the property tax break. Keeping bees, they argue annually, is just like ranching very small cattle.
Every year state lawmakers ignore them. Yet the keepers have managed to convince some Douglas County officials. In August 1993 County Attorney Mark Hannen wrote to the assessor that, in his opinion, bees did have a lot in common with livestock. "They're animals--they graze the property," he explained. "They're used for producing food. And they're kept for breeding. We all know what goes on in a beehive."
More to the point for Vickers, bee wrangling doesn't involve fencing. Last summer he leased his Castle Rock land to a local beekeeper and tried again with the assessor's office, pointing out that herds of bees were now grazing his land, thus making it eligible for the agricultural tax break. Investigators were free to check it out.
They did. They remained unimpressed. The assessor's office pointed out that the legislature consistently had concluded that running a herd of bees didn't really count as ranching. (If one is smeared on a car windshield, does the beekeeper get livestock compensation?) Vickers was shot down again. Exercising his right to appeal his tax assessment, however, the developer took his case to the county Board of Equalization. And this past July, he won.
The spoils were worth the fight. In 1995, when it was assessed as commercial property, Vickers's $5.7 million worth of dirt landed him a property-tax bill of $161,000. Not this year. Because his real estate was redesignated as agricultural, it will be valued at a mere $13,199.
Vickers's tax bill, due to arrive this month, will be $371--a savings of more than $160,000.
The series of laws that provide ranchers and farmers a tax break grew out of an admission that agriculture is a fickle business. "If a person has a piece of ground and he depends on that ground to produce the revenue he'll use to pay taxes, it doesn't make sense to tax him more than he earns," explains Reeves Brown of the Colorado Cattlemen's Association. "If it didn't work that way, there'd be no farmer or rancher within fifty miles of Denver who could pay his taxes."
So legislators gave those in the business of working the land a break by valuing their property much, much lower than someone who, say, owns a piece of commercial real estate. The state agreed to value agricultural land by the amount of money earned from it. Once county assessors determine what the land is used for, they are required to assign it a set value. Depending on the county, wheat land is set at about $25 per acre, grazing land at about $16 per acre, and so on--no matter what the land is really worth on the open market.

How do you protect the daylilies you have in pots in winter? I would like to pot a few I want to set pods on,it seems like a better way to do it rather then walk all over the beds. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just move the pots to where they are out of the wind & put extra wind barrier around the pots, or bury the pots for winter. IME, a potted plant should be rated one zone colder unless you are burying them. |
- Posted by swontgirl_z5a 5a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 11:55
I stack a bunch in a flower bed behind my garage. This protects them from the east wind. Then I put bales of straw around the outside of the pile and then fill it with leaves or put bags of leaves over the top. I have also buried the pots but this is more work. I have never lost one over the winter. |
I just posted the above image on my blog, showing the 10 pots that were wintered over this winter in my zone 6/7 garden. They were in a sunny, moderately sheltered spot with good drainage and they simply had mulch around them. I started pulling the mulch back this week.You can't tell it in the picture because some were barely peeking out but all of them survived the winter! The link is listed below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The Bones of the garden
I dont do anything to mine and they have all survived just fine. jean |

Help! My yard is being taken over by the cannas I planted 2 years ago. I know now that I should have contained them with a barrier. I am trying to get rid of the ones that I have not relocated and they refuse to leave! :) Is there any way to get rid of the huge root systems? I have dug them, broke them back all year, all I know to do, still they grow. They are beautiful but I do like my other plants too. :)
Thanks, Patty |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could dig up the whole root system , then plant only one rhizome back in the area or, dig it up and place a nice pot in the flower bed and plant the canna in it. |
Thanks annz. I have taken a few of them and sunk them in a very large container in ground. As for digging up the root system, I took a tiller to a very deep level and sifted and dug all the rhizomes I could find. They must be able to survive from just a tiny piece. They even seem thicker this year. Is there a brush/bush control that would work to the rhizome level on these anyone? |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Jul 18, 06 at 21:21
I've dug orange canna out of the same bed for over 16 years now. Can't kill the suckers. Good luck! Tally HO! |
16 years!?! I guess this will be either a long battle or a surrender. Thanks! |
- Posted by aquarius1974 z8 SC (email@example.com) on Fri, Jul 21, 06 at 22:06
I have seen them cut to the ground and then burned with a bonfire over top. That killed MOST of them but a few did come back. |

With bamboo, some people recommend mowing down all new growth for at least a couple of seasons. No photosynthesis = eventual death. Also, you might want to follow-up repeated mowings with a few layers of newspaper and some black plastic for awhile and see what happens. If it works with boo, it should work with cannas. Good luck! |
- Posted by roxannemoskal Z6 PA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jul 26, 06 at 23:08
Why not dig them up and trade for something else you want?? Roxanne |
Please....Don't kill them all!!!! I will send you postage for as many as you want to send me. I had lost so many due to hurricane flooding last year and have still not been able to afford to replace. I really would love to hear from you and see how many you want to send me so I can get money out to you asap. email@example.com |
- Posted by watchinemgrow (My Page) on Wed, Oct 11, 06 at 10:45
If you have not destroyed them all yet, please contact me. I would love to have as many as possible. I am just starting here on a new place but have had good luck with my Bengal tiger cannas and would consider trading some. If not interested I will pay posting costs for yours. thanks firstname.lastname@example.com |
What kind of canna's do you have? I would be interested in paying for shipping or whatever as well... :)) plmk, |
- Posted by ldeardorff50 z6 OH (My Page) on Tue, Oct 17, 06 at 1:15
I will also pay as much as you want for shipping,if you or anyone could send me some cannas.I have been looking for several years now and cannot find any anywhere,Please let me know. Thanks, Lynn |
Gee I wish I had that problem. I lost several before they could multiply. They rotted in the ground, I didn`t think I needed to mulch or store for winter in this zone(near Roswell New mexico. |

by Charles Kray , By (author) Robin McGibbon
Category: True Stories / True Crime
Publication date: 19970804
Number of pages: 356
An updated edition of the bestselling autobiography of Charlie Kray, elder brother of the Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie. Charlie Kray was the only person who knew the truth behind the terrifying violence of his notorious twin brothers, Ronnie and Reggie. In his dying days, reflecting on how the Kray name destroyed his life, Charlie reveals what he really thought about the twins - and why they treated him so badly. Today, 40 years after the arrests that ended their so-called reign of terror, the power the Krays wielded is part of criminal folklore - and the fascination with them lives on. Charlie knew them better than anyone - from the extortion racket that provided riches beyond their dreams and the sexual liaison that took them into the corridors of power to the murderous mayhem the twins embarked on as they came to see themselves as beyond the law. In this fully updated edition of his best-selling autobiography, Charlie Kray reveals a side of Ronnie and Reggie that not even their closest henchmen ever saw.
What the papers say:
'This enjoyable autobiography from the Kray twins' elder 'quiet' brother gives as intimate a look at the identical east End gangsters as we're ever likely to glimpse.' Observer

Olivia Newton-John's Home Investigated as Site of Apparent Suicide After Unidentified Man Found Shot to Death by Pool
By Minyvonne Burke email@example.com | Aug 20, 2013 09:38 AM EDT
Olivia Newton-John's Florida home is now the site of an apparent suicide after a 42-year-old man was found dead on her property. According to the New York Daily News, authorities said the unidentified man was found with a gunshot wound inside the South Florida home owned by Newton-John and her husband, John Easterling.
Jupiter police Sgt. Scott Pascarella told the newspaper that the man didn't live at the house and wasn't related to the residents. They said he did have permission to be at the house but wasn't staying at the house. Even though the death is a suspected suicide police are still investigating it. Sgt. Pascarella didn't say whether foul play was involved.
According to Palm Beach Post, construction was being done at the house and the man is said to be a contractor. Some witnesses reportedly saw the man crying before he was found dead. Newton-John and her husband were not home at the time of the incident.
Several gossip websites reports that the house had been sold and TV personality Rosie O'Donnell was under contract to purchase the house. Gossip Extra reports that she sold her Miami home for $16.5 million in June and was supposed to sign her new contract later in the month.
There's no word on whether O'Donnell would still be moving into the house but Gossip Extra says the former talk show host said through her spokeswoman: "This is a terrible tragedy, and we're not commenting at this time."
The singer's hit songs included "You're The One That I Want" with John Travolta in the 1978 film "Grease" and "Let's Get Physical" in 1981.

On one hand, you have people reading and being exposed to a classic book that they might never otherwise pick up.
On the other hand, they're reading a graphic novel and not the book as it was intended to be read. You're transforming a classic book into a graphic novel! A graphic novel! A graphic novel!
Uh, if you want you can pre-order here. Then, please, borrow it to me so I can draw my final conclusion.
But wait...
Pride and Prejudice isn't your cup of tea? You happen to worship Jane Eyre?
You can get that here. Then, you too, could read about Jane and how she's such a sucker for taking her fiancée back even though he had that pyromaniac wife that tried to kill her and he forgot to mention that they couldn't get married because he did have a secret crazy pyromaniac wife locked in the attic. Not that I have strong, angry feelings about this book or anything.
And is it just me or does the cover look like a movie poster for Gone With the Wind? Only Jane's dude is considerably less attractive than my literary boyfriend Rhett.
There's just something about this one that I find hilarious. The trademark free Superman and Wonder Woman? Or that there is a VH1 show about Where-are-they-now-child-stars (which I think is all VH1 is allowed to play) and some ex-child star does a video series as an evangelizing superhero. [If you know who I'm vaguely describing, please tell. It's driving me crazy!]
And don't get me wrong. I don't disapprove of all graphic novels. Some actually sound amazing.
Found here. |
I was hoping for something a little trippier, though. Found here. |
It can't be any more traumatic than reading the original, right? And it's from the peeps that brought us Spark Notes. Found here. |

Last Night: Tori Amos at the Paramount
Categories: Concert Reviews
Aaron Thackeray |
Tori Amos and eskimO
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Paramount Theatre
Better Than: The last time I saw Tori Amos at Red Rocks in 1998.
London-based One eskimO opened the show, and at first, I was concerned it might be one of those bands favored by modern rock stations that border on the adult contemporary format. What saved eskimO, though, was singer Kristian Leontiou who seemed truly caught up in the music and the tribal percussion the band employed throughout each song. As the set progressed, the group reminded me of Peter Gabriel because it used textures and melodies in interesting and sometimes unexpected ways within a pop context. Although there was sort of a subdued and shadowy sound to this quarter's songs, there was also an understated intensity that was fairly compelling.
Aaron Thackeray |
From as early as Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos has been a unique performer. Like Kate Bush and Laurie Anderson, calling Amos a singer-songwriter seems somehow inadequate and inaccurate because she pushes artistic boundaries and doesn't try to play things safe. For this performance, Amos was preceded to the stage by long time band mates Jon Evans and Matt Chamberlain who started into "Give." When Amos walked to her piano and keyboards she was dressed in an emerald green and gold outfit that made her look like a pagan priestess or a character out of a Lord Dunsany story. During "Caught a Lite Sneeze" it was obvious that the woman who has written some of the most heart wrenching music of the last twenty years was not just in high spirits but having some fun with the music.

Critic's Notebook:
Personal Bias: I've been a Tori Amos fan since first hearing her in 1992.
Random Detail: Amos played a Bösendorfer grand piano.
By the Way: This was an all-ages show that ended at the right time proving Tori actually cares about her younger fans.

The public has chosen their winner for NYC's Reinvent Payphones challenge
Posted By Enrique Manalang On March 18, 2013 @ 1:01 PM In General Tech | No Comments
A couple of weeks ago, we showed you the 6 finalists of the NYC Reinvent Payphones challenge [2]. The contest was hosted in the hopes that they would be able to find the next best and most innovative evolution for the aging landline payphone that has been around all this time, and then theoretically implement these ideas on within the constraints — most likely what is actually feasible and possible financially.
Out of the six finalists (which were winners in their own categories), the public has voted and the winner for the "Popular Choice" award has been chosen! NYFi, which you might remember was the winner in the Best in Connectivity category was awarded the Popular Choice.
While this doesn't mean we'll be seeing their exact design with all its described functionality all over New York anytime soon, it gives the city an idea of what people want most from an technologically evolved payphone. Also, despite the fact that the NYFi won both Best in Connectivity and the Popular Choice award, there's also a chance that one of the other designs could be chosen as a template for what will eventually show up in the streets.
And maybe, just maybe, they'll wise up and combine every single design entree's functionality into the ultimate do-it-all kiosk! Might as well make it resistant to laser attacks and heal itself too while they're at it [4].
Was NYFi your choice for the most popular award? Have a better idea for a futuristic payphone? Post them in the comments! [5]

LOL thanksgiving getting mad..LOL
I have always worked midnights Thanksgiving night so this is the first year I don't go in to work after eating! So, I am so excited to say I am taking the day off.
My plan is to play with my niece after dinner and wear myself out so I will be able to sleep. Then I hope to rise early and go shopping with my sister.
Then I will hopefully go to our storage place and dig out as many decorations as possible. I am one of those let each holiday have their day in the sun type of people so I don't have any Christmas decorations up yet (except that cute ornament from Jeanne). I didn't want Thanksgiving to be mad at me- that could be ugly.

We are finishing the basement in our 2 year old house right now. We will be adding 4 circuits and approximately 40 new outlets/switches/junction boxes. I see that plastic sheathed cable is the typical choice for pulling new wire. However, when I checked the upstairs outlets, I see the builder used metal conduit with 2 wires, no ground wire. Any reason for this? Our home is an upscale home in a custom executive neighborhood, so far we have found no corners cut by the builder, so I don't want to cut corners ourselves if there's a valid reason to choose metal conduit over sheathed cable. Any advice?
Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Absent a local requirment, NM (the plastic sheathed cable) is fine. It is also less expensive initially and requires less labor for installation. Armored (could be AC or MC, but most likely AC since there is not a separate ground conductor) and often referred to as 'BX' (the first cable type with spiral armor, but long outdated) does not add much protection. |
- Posted by terribletom (My Page) on Sun, Jan 10, 10 at 13:01
Are you by any chance located in the Chicago area? The reason I ask is that's one area that requires conduit for residential uses that would not require conduit in most other parts of the country. There may be other areas with this unusual requirement as well. It's worth checking for kinky local code requirements before proceeding. Otherwise, NM-B oughta work fine EXCEPT where the wire runs are on unfinished basement walls or similar places that need additional protection against physical damage (e.g., not protected by finished walls and not run along overhead joists where they are out of normal reach). |
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Sun, Jan 10, 10 at 20:40
Metal conduit (EMT) is far more labor intensive to run than cable but some areas require it (notably Chicago and it's suburbs). Because it costs more, most builders don't use it unless local code requires it. You should call your local building code department before starting on your basement. A bunch of Romex coming out of the panel in an area that requires conduit is going to create problems down the road if you ever sell your home. Bending conduit neatly takes some practice, so if you're going to do the work yourself, I'd suggest buying some extra pipe. :-) Is conduit "better"? Well...that a subject of some debate. The biggest advantage I see is that it makes replacing wires or adding circuits a easier because you can get back to the service panel with relative ease. It also offers greater physical protection than cable (especially non-metallic cable [e.g., Romex]). Although proper installation of cable will offer adequate physical protection. EMT will also keep the rats from eating your wires but if you don't have rats, that's probably not important. :-) The conduit itself functions as the equipment ground, that's why there isn't a separate ground wire. That's not an absolute, there are some exceptions. Pool and spa circuits come to mind. |
Wow, thank you. As it turns out, we are in a suburb of Chicago, so I bet that's it. I'll check with our building inspector when he calls back about the permits. Fun times ahead. Are there any tips or tools for bending the conduit neatly? Thanks |
"Are there any tips or tools for bending the conduit neatly?" Get the correct size hickey and a good handle. |

If you are around Chicago the odds are good that conduit is required although some places do allow NM-B (Joliet comes to mind). Bending conduit takes some practice and while there are some websites with information (try Google, I don't have a specific recommendation), you should expect to make a few mistakes. You'll need a conduit bender, one for each size of pipe you'll be working with (1/2" and maybe 3/4"). They're available at Menards or Home Depot for about $35. Ideal, Klein, and G-B are the brands you'll find and brand probably doesn't make a big difference. You'll need a hacksaw to cut it (or you can use a jig saw or reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade). You'll also need to clean up the cut ends so you don't damage the wires. Klein makes conduit fitting pliers, Klein and Ideal make conduit fitting screwdrivers, and I've seen guys use an ordinary pair of channel lock type pliers. All depends on what you are comfortable with and/or want to spend. Remember you install the conduit first and then pull your wires. |
Here is a link that might be useful: How not to install conduit
The photos in "How not to install conduit" are good, but I want to see one in which the conduit is being held up by romex, tied in a bow. |

OMRI Slashes Prices for Listing in Seed Database
The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) recently slashed prices for seed suppliers to list organic varieties in its Organic Seed Database. The Organic Seed Database enables organic growers to search the availability of organic seed, both open-pollinated varieties and newly developed hybrids.
The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) has slashed prices for seed suppliers to list organic varieties in the Organic Seed Database. Best known for its work as an independent nonprofit to ensure the compliance of fertilizers and pesticides for organic agriculture, OMRI established the database in October 2006. The site uses an online search tool to assist organic farmers and certifiers seeking organic seeds and planting stocks.
The fee change represents a dramatic fee reduction for suppliers. Previously, seed companies paid a flat $25 plus $50 for every five varieties included beyond the initial five. The new fee is a simple $60 flat rate. Payments not made through PayPal will cost $15 extra.
The Organic Seed Database enables organic growers to instantly search the ever-broadening diversity of available organic seed, both open pollinated varieties and newly developed hybrids. Additionally, the Organic Seed Database offers an inexpensive opportunity for innovative seed companies to connect with growers on a new scale.

We will have to put in a drainage pipes on our property which will connect to a seepage pit in front. Does anyone know what this requires and how extensive..is any machinery needed? (need to know for neighbor). Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
How deep? You likely need to be well below frost depth. How close to foundations? You can do just about anything by hand with a shovel if you have enough manpower. Even smaller power equipment can make the job go a lot faster and cost less. |

You might need a backhoe, or you might need a trencher. Or you might get by hiring a dozen strong backs with shovels. You haven't provided enough information to be able to tell. Location? Depth? Diameter? |

How big of an area are you draining and how big is your pit? 1/10 of an inch of rain will produce 2,840gal of water per acre. |

The Kiehl's x Kenny Scharf collection is an intricate display of 1980s graffiti art, packaged up onto rainbow labels for the 2012 holiday season. The Kiehl's brand has teamed up with Kenny Scharf, who became famous in the 1980s for his thought provoking art work in graffiti. His boundary-pushing ideology made waves in the New York art scene, making him a great candidate with the traditional cosmetic brand.
Kenny Scharf has produced several products for the Kiehl's brand, including a small toy named 'Squirt' which is available only at the coveted French boutique Colette. 'Squirt' is a toy modeled after the artist's own quirky personality. The Kiehl's x Kenny Scharf collaboration has decided to dedicate 100 percent of the profits to associations protecting children around the world. The psychedelic vibe is a fun way to spruce up one's bathroom routine.

"Their expectations are that we will replicate something they would do themselves, where a machine cut doesn't come out the same way as a true hand-cut."
For the past five years, G. Cefalu & Bro. Inc., Jessup, has run a small fresh-cut processing operation.
While not Cefalu's focus, the products are provided as a convenience for its customers, said Sal Cefalu, vice president.
"To some extent, the customers find having us prepare product for them helps them keep the costs in the product and they know where the costs are," Cefalu said.
"It seems to work better for them. This shows up industrywide and is definitely a valid direction for the industry."
Cefalu processes celery, carrots, fruit and fruit trays as well as customer requests, he said.

"This was a lot milder than I'd expected. Next time I'll use real garlic instead of garlic powder. Also it would be a good idea to poke holes in the chicken so the marinade really gets in there. "
"I made this for dinner last night and halfway through realized that my parmesian cheese was moldy (I buy the pre shredded kind) so I substituted romano cheese and it was great. Serve it over rice to sop up all the good lemony, cheesy, buttery sauce."
"I made this for a company pot luck that had an Asian theme, and it was delicious and sooo easy! I only used 2 of the green onions and one package (2 oz.) of the slivered almonds since they're kind of expensive. But my salad was a hit!"

Lamictal is used to treat seizures of both partial and generalized epilepsy syndromes. Lamictal is also one of the few medications to be approved by the FDA for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Lamictal as an additional treatment for bipolar disorder, a mental illness.
It is also legal to prescribe medicines for "off-label uses" even though the FDA has not formally approved such uses. Lamictal is sometimes prescribed off-label for certain types of pain.
Most people who take lamotrigine tolerate it very well with few or no complaints. The most common complaints include:
If these problems do not go away within several days, or are really bothersome, call the doctor, but never stop or reduce the medicine on your own. Sometimes the doctor can help with these side effects by changing the prescription:
On the positive side, fewer people say they feel tired when they take lamotrigine than with most other seizure medicines. In fact, for many people it's slightly stimulating. This is often a welcome side effect unless it keeps them awake at night.
People who have just started taking lamotrigine (or who have just started taking a larger amount) should be careful during activities that might be dangerous, until they know whether they are having any side effects.
About 10% of people who take lamotrigine experience a rash, which is only rarely serious. The rash most often occurs in the first 6 weeks of treatment, so during this time, you should be aware of any skin problems and tell the doctor or nurse right away if you see a red rash, to be sure that it's not the beginning of a serious allergy. Often, the rash is a sign that lamotrigine needs to be switched to a different seizure medicine.
Only a tiny percentage of people who take lamotrigine have dangerous reactions to it. Most have no side effects, or perhaps mild ones that go away by themselves or can be easily treated.
However, it is important to recognize the most serious side effects. Below is a list of warning signs that may be the start of a serious problem. If you notice any of these signs, call your doctor right away:
A serious rash while taking lamotrigine has been reported in about 1 in 1000 adults and 1 in 100 to 300 children younger than 12 years of age. These numbers come from early studies, prior to the current practice of starting the medicine at a low dose and increasing gradually, and before the special situation of adding lamotrigine to valproate was recognized. Though studies reflecting the current practices have not been performed, we suspect these numbers are much lower today.
Due to the risk of rash, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions about how much lamotrigine to take, because starting with a low dose and increasing it gradually over weeks will reduce the risk of these reactions. Also, the risk of rash is higher if lamotrigine is started in a patient already taking valproate, but this risk is minimized by raising lamotrigine more slowly than usual. Again, if you see a rash, call the doctor or nurse immediately. You will be asked to describe the rash, and may even be asked to come to the office so that the doctor or nurse can see it. Do not stop taking lamotrigine or any other seizure medicine without first consulting with your doctor.
The only people who definitely should not take lamotrigine are those who are allergic to it.
People with liver disease and those who must take certain other types of medicines may need to be more cautious than others about taking lamotrigine. Most of them can take it successfully, however, if they work with the doctor to determine the correct amount to take. That is why it is so important to make sure the doctor knows about any liver disease and about every kind of medicine in use.
Lamotrigine can be taken successfully with most other medicines although there are a few interactions that must be considered.
Lamotrigine has no effect on other seizure medicines. And unlike some other seizure medicines, it does not reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.
Although lamotrigine does not reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills, there is a possiblity that birth control pills can lower the amount of lamotrigine levels in your blood, thus increasing the likelihood of unexpected seizures. If you start or stop taking an oral contraceptive, and are currently taking lamotrigine--please notify your doctor.
Some other seizure medicines do affect the level of lamotrigine in the body, either raising it or lowering it. Many of these interactions vary from person to person, however. Some may even vary from time to time for the same person. Make sure that your doctor is aware of all the seizure medicines you are taking.
One common seizure medicine, Depakote (and others closely related to it), will make the level of lamotrigine in the body much higher. People who take both Depakote and lamotrigine need to take smaller amounts of lamotrigine.
On the other hand, some other seizure medicines reduce the amount of lamotrigine in the body, so more must be taken. (This is not true if Depakote is also being used.) The seizure medicines with this effect are:
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assigns each medication to a Pregnancy Category according to whether it has been proven to be harmful in pregnancy. Lamotrigine is listed in Pregnancy Category C. This indicates that caution is advised, but the benefits of the medicine may outweigh the potential risks. Results from the North American AED Pregnancy Registry have shown that women taking lamotrigine during pregnancy have about the same risk of having a baby with major birth defects as compared with women across the general population, that is 2-3%. However, babies born to women taking lamictal have been found to have a higher risk of having an oral cleft problem than infants born to women in a comparison group who were not exposed to lamotrigine during pregnancy. Oral cleft problems are birth defects that may involve the lip (cleft lip), the palate (cleft palate), or both.
The risk of birth defects is higher for women who take more than one seizure medicine and for women with a family history of birth defects.
All women who are capable of becoming pregnant should take at least 0.4 mg (400 mcg) of the vitamin called folic acid every day because it helps to prevent specific birth defects called Neural Tube Defects. (The most well-known of these is spina bifida, in which the spinal cord is not completely enclosed.) Women with epilepsy should take between 1 and 4 mg of folic acid daily during their reproductive years. If the doctor thinks a woman is at especially high risk, the larger dose of folic acid—4 mg (4000 mcg) per day—may be recommended, beginning before the woman becomes pregnant.
Some babies born to mothers taking antiepileptic medications have had inadequate blood clotting within the first 24 hours after birth. It is often recommended that the mother be given 10 to 20 mg of vitamin K per day during the last month of pregnancy to prevent this problem.
About 20% to 35% of women have seizures more often during pregnancy because of changes in hormones or changes in how their seizure medicine is handled by the body. This appears to be particularly true for lamotrigine. Lamotrigine levels have been found to drop significantly and quickly in pregnant women. Your doctor will not only want to check levels of medicine in the blood regularly during pregnancy, but may want to increase your dose as soon as the pregnancy is discovered. Similarly, these changes revert back to normal just after delivery and your doctor will then again discuss with you how to begin lowering lamictal once the baby is born.
About 50% of lamotrigine in the mother's blood passes through breast milk, however how much of this actually enters the baby's bloodstream is not known. Further, how lamotrigine affects the baby is unknown. That said, it is strongly felt by neurologists and epileptologists that the benefits of breastfeeding largely outweigh the risks of exposing the baby to antiepileptic medications, including lamotrigine. As a matter of fact, the American Academy of Neurology and the American Epilepsy Society both recommend breastfeeding in women with epilepsy.

Gov. Pence touts $2 million new HQ for medical billing company in Merrillville
By Christin Nance Lazerus email@example.com January 25, 2013 5:56PM
Article Extras
Updated: February 27, 2013 6:15AM
Horizon Financial Management LLC, a medical billing company, announced Friday that it will expand its Merrillville operations, creating 216 new jobs and building a 20,000-square-foot headquarters at the Purdue Research Park in Merrillville — with the help of state and local tax incentives.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was on hand for the announcement to emphasize the importance in investing in home-grown businesses.
"Horizon Financial Management's decision is the latest proof that Indiana is a cost-effective location for companies to grow and succeed," Pence said. "My ambition is to make job creation job one in this state. We need to continue to find ways to make it easier to start and build businesses in this state. We welcome the opportunity to work with you in this unfolding Hoosier success story."
Horizon managing partner Frank Termini said the company started planning its expansion about 18 months ago and quickly realized it was caught in a fiscal crunch.
"We've enjoyed steady and healthy growth," Termini said. "We started with about 1,800 square feet and now we occupy most of the eighth floor (of the Chase Bank building at 8585 Broadway)."
Termini said the company, which was founded in 2005, will break ground on its new $2 million headquarters in March. Horizon handles accounts receivable programs for physicians and hospitals across the country.
Horizon will receive $1.9 million in tax credits and $100,000 in training grants from the Indiana Economic Development Corp., which are contingent upon the company meeting its hiring goal by 2016. It currently has 60 employees; the new positions are primarily medical billing associates.
Merrillville granted the company a 10-year tax abatement for real and personal property; it is graduated so the company will pay none of its tax bill in the first year, with the percentage rising each year, according to Merrillville town councilman Shawn Pettit. In year 10, the company will pay 95 percent of its tax bill.
Pettit emphasized that the new headquarters, which falls within his ward, is in a tax-increment financing district, so taxes paid by the develoopment will help fund road improvement projects in that district.
Pence spoke afterward of the need for the state to "toot our horn a little more" when it comes to its welcoming business climate.
"We need to redouble our efforts to tell Indiana's story around the country and work with businesses within our state," Pence said.
He emphasized that he has urged the public release of more details of the Indiana Economic Development Corp.'s tax incentives and how many jobs result.

Eliza Dushku On Her Albanian Passion Project: I Have An Emotional Connection To This Country (EXCLUSIVE Q&A)
Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Eliza Dushku has 20 hours of footage complete for her Untitled "Albania" Documentary, but she needs your help to finish it.
The 31-year-old actress is trying to raise money for the editing and delivery of her documentary, and Celebuzz just talked to Dushku about her passion project.
Dushku discusses the importance of this documentary in our exclusive Q&A:
Celebuzz: Why is this film so important to make? Eliza Dushku: I've been in the business since I was 10 years old. I've had my ups and downs in the business, but there's a real difference with this Albanian connection that I have... its very surreal and emotional. My father and his family were Albanian immigrants that literally came by boats and raised their family in the South End of Boston. Albania is filled with such love-- they even granted me my citizenship while I was in the country shooting this documentary. It was the most surreal and magical experience.
CB: How did you know this was the right time to do this? Why now? ED: There were my own personal reasons. We were invited Albania a couple years ago. This Albanian photographer contacted me, he tracked me down in New York while I was doing an off Broadway play. It was over 5 years ago and he said, "Albania is calling for you, and you have to come home and you have to come and meet these people." So we went on the trip and had the experience, and we thought, we have to come back here and document this at some point.
Then I was on Dollhouse for 2 years. When you're on a TV show it's really hard to take off for a few weeks to another country with your own team! So, as we started with my production company-- my brother is my producing partner-- the stars just aligned last summer. It just so happens it's the 100th anniversary of Albania's independence this year, and last year Albania was named the number one travel destination in the world by Lonely Planet. So then we said we just had to do it. So we began shooting; me, my brother, my boyfriend came half way through, and everybody just got involved and the country just completely welcomed us.
Celebuzz: If you had to choose one thing you hope viewers get from this documentary, what would it be and why? ED: Just that Albania exists and that it is one of the most untouched and incredibly beautiful places physically, and the people are just so extraordinary. Growing up, people did not know that Albania was a country. When we grew up in Massachusetts, it was such a huge Armenian community, and we had numerous Armenian friends. Our teachers back in the '80s asked, "Where are you from?" And we would say Albania. And they would say, "Oh no sweetie you mean Armenia." And we would say, "No, Albania! It's a tiny country."
They have these beautiful coasts and beautiful people. The people are so generous. Everybody I know who's ever been there say they are the most generous, extraordinary people.
CB: You experienced different customs while traveling in Albania, is there one that you're really fond of? ED: The food was to die for, and it was prepared with unbelievable TLC. You would go somewhere and people would give you every last thing in their cupboard. Everywhere we went would just be a food extravaganza! Also the dancing we experienced. When we went into the mountains, the Albanian Alps the dancing was just so moving and so stunning.
CB: Did your boyfriend, Rick Fox, bust out any Dancing With the Stars moves? ED: He kept up for the most part! Tony Dovolani was also there to give us some pointers. It was a lot of fun.
CB: Would you ever do Dancing With the Stars? ED: Probably not. I have so much stage freight its insane. I'm more of a free-stlyer! I had so much fun going to watch and support Rick though.
CB: Besides this fabulous documentary, what else is up for you? ED: We are deep in our producing space. My brother and I are developing, and we've been working on our Robert Mapplethorpe project, a biopic, for a couple years now. We're still in the midst of that.
We're also developing another screenplay, it's Boston based, that I will produce and also star in! I will get the chance to play a true Boston girl, which I have experience with. We're excited about it, but we can't talk much about it yet because it's being written right now.
We're also developing a graphic novel for a cable television space, that I may or may not also play an important role in. So, the documentary and I've been doing a lot of work with my mother for the last couple of years, she started a NGO in Northern Uganda, and we have a huge fundraiser coming up in July in San Francisco. We're relaunching our NGO -- it's a trauma healing and reflection center for former child soldiers and victims of war and trauma from the Uganda war.
Head right here to help Eliza reach her fundraising goal for her Albanian documentary!

In the species Homo Sapiens (thinking man, believe it or not), the gestation period following conception (the result of sex, recreational or otherwise) is approximately nine months. After twenty more years, physical maturity has usually set in. Psychological maturity is another mater entirely. This is actually the major function of parents in Homo Sapiens.
Or at least it is supposed to be. See discussions attached to the entry for "family". The parents in most human societies are charged with the task of causing psychological maturity in their offspring. They no longer seem to be held accountable for it.

When you have this done can you still drink alcohol? An example would be that we would go out and have 4-5 beers? Or a couple of margaritas. You're honest answer is appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Cuddlebones (My Page) on Sat, May 15, 04 at 12:20
Hi Josigirl, Technically, no, you are not supposed to drink alcohol after WLS. I had to sign a paper saying I would not drink alcohol. A couple of reasons.....1) alcholol is empty calories with no real nutrients. When you have WLS pretty much everything you eat should have some nutrients because you can't eat that much. 2) For some, they feel the effects of alcohol much faster after surgery. 3) Some cannot tolerate the carbonation after surgery. The bubbles from the beer isn't well tolerated. Having said all that, I had surgery January 13th. I have had a few beers since surgery without any problems. I drank them slow. I've had a few sips of a margarita. It will greatly depend on the person. Some will be able to tolerate alcohol, some won't. Hope I answered your questions. |
- Posted by Cuddlebones (My Page) on Sat, May 15, 04 at 15:07
Forgot to add......feel free to ask any questions about WLS. I'd be glad to answer or direct you to someone who can if I can't. :o) |

Week of 2/13:MLB Net dead last in cable with 21k viewers (-16% vs. same week last year)
— TVSportsratings (@tvsportsratings) February 22, 2012
This scary little tidbit comes via our fearless leader here at palatial Score Towers. After some follow-up, the man who makes the decisions learned that number is last in all of cable, not just sports. Ouch.
As one might expect, the average Getting Blankard pines openly and loudly for MLB Network to make inroads into our home and native land. Many hands wrung at the One Mount Pleasant suits that hold out on us, the deprived baseball fan longing for an outlet. Perhaps those suits are not so out to lunch, after all.
If these are the kind of numbers MLB Network pulls in south of the 49th, imagine the kind of business it would do here in Canada? Unless some wise owl turns the Canadian version of MLB Network into a Big Brother-style surveillance show about Brett Lawrie, neither Gordie nor Dougie will tune in on the regular.
The ratings drive the business, or so I understand. If people aren't watching, nobody will line up to give them money to show their ads. It's what is known as "the nature of the beast."
Which makes this article from the Onion's AV Club even timelier. The author, Noel Murray, cites Clubhouse Confidential as his favorite sports show and wonders if entertainment reporters shouldn't follow the lead of modern baseball writers and delve more deeply into the numbers. Murray suggests writing about movies and TV can greatly improve if writers do a little bit more research and get behind the big, flashy "dollars on opening weekend/overnight ratings" stats.
67 of 215 telecasts on MLB Net last week had 10k viewers or less, including 12 airings of Intentional Talk.
— TVSportsratings (@tvsportsratings) February 22, 2012
What kind of person watches the MLB Network? This is a question worth answering. Anecdotally, I would say the average viewer of Clubhouse Confidential is comfortably in the key 18-49 demographic and is educated enough to earn a tidy wage. That isn't nothing when it comes to advertising dollars.
For MLB Network to continue in its current form, it must draw more viewers. Buying shirts and ties for Dave Cameron and Rob Neyer isn't cheap. As with any corporate entity, the inner workings and creative accounting of MLB Advanced Media clouds the picture in terms of profits and revenues. Is MLBAM content to funnel content back to their incredibly profitable web arm?
Either way, this isn't good news for those of us who wish to see all-baseball television in Canada. If the current CRTC license holders don't think they can make a buck with baseball programming, they'll gladly sit on it as long as they can.

"I ordered business cards for my mother as a gift and I was worried the paper might be thin and the quality only okay. I was really happy with the outcome and she was thrilled too."
"Having worked for a competitor's company i was skeptical about ordering but needed my business cards to arrive before an event - which Tinyprints' super rush made possible. I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful thickness and soft texture of the card stock that arrived. The digital printing colors are accurate and my custom artwork printed clean and beautifully to the edge of the card. I made it to my event, fresh cards in hand, and will definitely reorder when I need more."
"I couldn't be happier with the business cards I ordered from tinyprints. They copied my design beautifully and the font is exquisite. But most of all I appreciate the weight and heft of the cards. Not flimsy. Everyone has been very impressed. Thanks, tinyprints."
"I was so easily able to personalize this business card design perfectly to the way I wanted it. I am so pleased with this cards."
"Everyone who gets one of my new business cards comments on how cool they are! I wanted clean and modern and was not disappointed. I have also been told they are classy, yet playful! I was able to select the font styles that suited my business and I uploaded a picture of my choice. It was fast, easy and super efficient. I will definitely recommend Tiny Prints to my friends!! Plus now I am hooked on all the cool stationary items as well!"

Ritz-Carlton–run Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort
Linhó, 2714-511, Portugal
The palazzo-style buildings of the Penha Longa Hotel and Golf resort overlook the lakes, forests, and mountains of Sintra. The monastery, built in 1355, now houses conference rooms and the 19th century palace with full-service spa treatment rooms and adorned with gazebos, waterfalls, and pools. In contrast to the rosette-colored exterior, the 194 rooms are done in subdued earth tones of yellow, ochre, and cream and furnished with dark wood furniture. The two golf courses were designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and include views of the sea and mountains; other activities include horseback riding, tennis, and hiking.
Room to Book:
For amazing amazing sunset views, ask for a room with a balcony facing the Sintra Mountains.
Insider Tip:
