March 30, 1971
Honorable James A. McDermott
State Representative, 43rd Dist.
Legislative Building
Olympia, Washington 98501 Cite as: AGLO 1971 No. 55 (not official)
Dear Representative McDermott:
This is in response to two questions you have raised concerning the optometry act, chapter 18.53 RCW. First, you have inquired as to the legal distinction between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist as contained in chapter 18.53 RCW. Secondly, you have inquired as to the meaning of the phrase in RCW 18.53.010, "ascertain the refractive, muscular or pathological thereof;" (particularly with reference to the word "ascertain" as it pertains to "pathological").
The title "ophthalmologist" is not defined in statute nor is any specific reference made to the term. The generally accepted definition of an ophthalmologist is a physician specializing in the study and treatment of defects and diseases of the eye. Thus, in Washington a practicing ophthalmologist is licensed under chapter 18.71 RCW as a physician and surgeon, commonly referred to as an M.D. With the foregoing in mind, it can be seen by the explicit provisions of RCW 18.53.040 that with the exception of RCW 18.53.140 (10) ‑ 18.53.140 (15) none of the provisions of chapter 18.53 RCW, governing the practice of optometry, apply to ophthalmologists who are licensed under chapter 18.71 RCW. The exemption above referred to means that there is nothing in the law prohibiting an ophthalmologist from rendering the services that can be rendered by an optometrist under chapter 18.53 RCW. The fact that the ophthalmologist can render the same services as rendered by an optometrist is further reflected by the provisions of the dispensing optician act, chapter 18.34 RCW. In RCW 18.34.060 the filling of written prescriptions from physicians or optometrists is authorized by dispensing opticians.
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
Thus, in answer to your first question, an ophthamologist who is licensed under chapter 18.71 RCW can render the same services as are rendered by an optometrist. Furthermore, the ophthamologist may also engage in the practice of medicine and surgery as defined in RCW 18.71.010 (1):
"(1) The practice of medicine and surgery consists of the use of drugs or medicinal preparations in or upon human beings, severing or penetrating the tissues of human beings, and the use of any and all other methods in the treatment of diseases, injuries, deformities, or other physical or mental conditions, but shall not include the practice of chiropractic as defined in RCW 18.25.030."
Your second question relates to the definition of "optometry" under RCW 18.53.010. That statute includes within the definition a person "who shall make in any manner a test or examination of the eye or eyes of another, to ascertain the refractive, muscular or pathological condition thereof;". The "pathological condition" of course relates to the question of whether there is any tissue disease. While the optometrist under this language is authorized in the course of his eye examination to consider the possibility of pathological condition, he is not authorized to affirmatively take those steps which would constitute the practice of medicine or surgery to alleviate the pathological condition. The reference to the practice of medicine and surgery is that defined in RCW 18.71.010, supra.
We trust the foregoing answers your inquiries.
Very truly yours,
Edward B. Mackie
Deputy Attorney General

Have any of you ever taken a six-month Hawaii travel assignment? - page 2
I was wondering if you could shed some light on the six-month Hawaii assignments for travelers. My girlfriend is very interested in traveling to Hawaii for an assignment, but she is only interested... Read More
0Sep 24, '06 by travelnurse63Forewarning about Hawaii:
1. Take the assignment for the "working vacation" not for making money.
2. Ask about the flight reimbursement..as in ROUNDTRIP instead of just one way.
3. Check into car rental..they pay $200..cost $800 a month..ouch!
4. Cost of food..well another ouch!
5. Check out the typical weather for the time frame of the contract..might be suprised.
6. Look into the housing situation fully!If you are going for a beach place be prepared to drive into work..otherwise just another "apartment" in another city.
7. Get the hours written into the contract..what good is it to be somewhere when you don't have time to enjoy it.
Just FYI'ing ya"
0Sep 24, '06 by Selkerncountry, you've sold me on looking for a travel job in Hawaii. Not that I needed much encouragement ...
What do travellers do for cars while there?
Are there 13 week assignments? I haven't started calling recruiters yet so don't know what's available.
Seems like one must start early to get a position! -
0Sep 25, '06 by grandee3Can anyone tell me if there are any LPN travel jobs in Hawaii?
I vacationed there in Feb (mardi gras week here in New Orleans) and I really want to go back. I did check on a travel position to Hawaii about 6 years ago. Did'nt pay much and I would be responsible for my transportation.
What everyone is saying about Hawaii is true, it is absolutely breath taking. I was on the Pride of America cruise and went to most of the islands. I cannot make up my mind about which one I like the best, they are all wonderful.
Any information would be helpful. I'm so glad I found this thread, I love hearing things about Hawaii.
Mahalo! -
0Feb 18, '08 by KarenGeorgeBSRNWhat a beautiful and well-written visual you portray of "home." I hope and pray you are able to live there again some day! You surely deserve it!
Karen G.
Quote from rncountryJust a thought here Jason. I can't tell you about travel assignments, but I can tell you a bit about Hawaii. I lived there as a kid with my dad in the navy, and visited again last July. If I could move there I would do it in a heartbeat. Yes, the cost of living is more espensive in some ways. Housing is more expensive, gas and some groceries. But if she is going to the island of Oahu then they have a bus transportation system that is the envy of any big metro area. You can get anywhere on the island through the bus system. And the cost is very inexpensive. During peak travel hours through Honolulu it is probably the best way to go, at least until one is used to traveling in their own vehicle. Honolulu is also the most enviromentally sound cities in the US. Food costs are a bit more expensive than on the mainland for buying groceries, but restarant costs are pretty equitable based on the costs of restarants in my home area. She will have an opportunity to sample a vast amount of ethnic foods that are simply not available in most any other major metropolitian city on the mainland. Chicago, Boston, and Los Angeles have many things to sample, but Honolulu still has them beat. Even at McDonalds you get fresh pineapple served with any meal that you buy. If you have never had real fresh pineapple you can't imagine how very good it is. The lifestyle itself in Hawaii is much different than any place on the mainland. It is almost like visiting a foreign country. At night in Honolulu with the warm trade winds blowing, they light the tiki lights down the main boulavard and the entertainment begins. Groups that are singing traditional Hawaiian songs, henna art being done, even carribean steel drums. Go to the International Marketplace and you will smell the fresh plumeria blossoms while a traditional Hawaiian woman sings them for leis. You will see tiki Gods being hand carved, and never pay full price for anything. Only tourists who do not know how the game is played do that. You can take a drive and just stop at various beach areas around the island, you will be able to find many that have very few if any people there. Word of caution though, do not go out into the surf if it is heavy and you are not a strong swimmer. Waikiki has the easiest surf on the island. There are a couple areas on the beach that you can take surfing lessons. During the winter months some of the most spectatular waves in the world are on the north shore of the island. From about November through March. Waikiki beaches are beautiful, but if you are not into the tourist part of it, simply walk further down the beach towards the aqarium and you will find the real people of Hawaii there. Or go the other direction to the park that is across from the major outdoor mall, one of the largest in the world and you will also find the real people of Hawaii. You can walk all over barefoot and no one thinks a thing of you going into stores right on Waikiki barefoot. The surfers will come out about 5a in the morning, it is already light outside then. Living Hawaii style is a phase you will hear, another is on Hawaii time. That basicly means the laid back lifestyle of the islands. People are friendly and easy to get to know. Even the politics that seem to consume people on the mainland are often things that in Hawaii they care nothing about, it means little there. It rains nearly every day in the mountains which means that on nearly any given day you can look up at the mountains and see not one rainbow but many. Sometimes that is obscured if the volcano on the main island is active, as the dust drifts over, but only in the mountains, it is part of what causes the rainbows. It is sunny and warm nearly every day. The winter months are the rainy season, and you will have periods where it rains so hard you can hardly see across the street, but it lasts for a short time. The joke when I was a kid was you could always separate the tourists from the natives when it rained, because the tourists would run for cover, but the natives know it lasts for a short period and then the sun comes out again. When it does the fresh smell to the air mixed with the flower smells is outstanding. To me the island never got small, simply living the lifestyle that is Hawaii is worth it all. It doesn't cost alot to take a hop to the other islands if one looks outside the tourist operations.
I truly believe that if someone has the opportunity to go to Hawaii then they should go. I hope she is able to find the 13 week assignment she wants, though she may find after being there that 3 months is not enough! LOL. That is from my perspective anyway. To me Hawaii is as much home to me as is the little rural town I live in and grew up in after my parents divorced. When I took my family back in July last year it truly was like going home again. I got off that plane and felt the warm breeze on my skin and smelled the air and knew it was a place that would always hold a special place in my heart. If you can go with her Jason do it. I don't think you would regret it. Perhaps my perspective is not that of others because I lived there, not as an adult but as a child. Though I found that when we visited there everything that I remembered was still the same. Sure there is much more building up then then when I was a kid, but the basic things that make Hawaii what it is are still there. If you have never swam in the pacific ocean and know what it feels like to be in water that is warm, that tugs you in and out with the waves you can't understand what it is to be able to have that. To be able to body surf, though one has to be careful not to get caught up inside a wave. To be able to see trees loaded with flowers that have an intoxicating scent, to be able to eat Thai, Korean and Japanese food all in one day. To be able to sit on the beach in the evening with a people just sitting around enjoying each others company with traditional Hawaiian music floating in the air. All the things that living Hawaiian means.
I believe it is an experience that is worth taking. Good luck to your girlfriend. Oh, and if she can catch a menehune than she will be able to have good luck forever.

Steven Seagal's Entire Career in 12 Films: 'Seagalogy: The Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal' Reviewed
Features By Robert Fure on April 18, 2012 | Comments (1)If you asked around "What 1980s action star deserves a comprehensive guide to his films?" you'd probably hear Sylvester Stallone, Jean Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and possibly even Dolph Lundgren before someone got around to Steven Seagal. We'll ignore the smart ass who said Michael Dudikoff too. The world, being as unpredictable as it is, had a different view of things and blessed (cursed?) one writer with an unnatural fascination of Steven Seagal. That man is Vern and his study of the ass-kicking films of Steven Seagal, "Seagalogy" has been updated, expanded, and is now fit for your consumption. In addition to telling you about this book, I'm also going to use it to help break down the career path of Steven Seagal in just twelve short films.

What are yours?
Mine are the Contemporary, AK Lodge, and the Yacht Club. I also love the Polynesian. I would love to stay at the Grand Floridian one day, but I doubt I could ever afford it. Out of the Moderate resorts, my favorite is PO-Riverside, but I'm starting to get very interested in Coronado Springs. My favorite value resort is All-Star Music, but I would rather stay off-property than at a value resort. But of course, I love all of them!

I got this plant a year ago in March, and it has performed beautifully. Honestly, it has not stopped blooming since I got it, even when I brought it indoors for the winter.
But now the leaves are getting this red pattern and then they turn brown and die. Any idea what this could be? |

I don't think there's really anything wrong. If it's been performing all winter those are probably just tired old leaves. Like most plants Pelargoniums DO lose their old leaves. I would pull them, cut back any leggy stems, use the pieces for propagation of new plants, then continue care and feeding as before. It's a nice plant, by the way. Dave |

The Story of Harriet Tubman
A highlight at last summer's Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, actor and storyteller Natalie Daise brings to life the compelling story of the slave-turned abolitionist, Union spy, and conductor of the Underground Railroad. Told from the perspective of five characters, Becoming Harriet Tubman is a rich amalgam of history, personal narrative and song.
Natalie Daise was born in Rochester and grew up in Syracuse. Her career has included educational programming for children (including Emmy-nominated Gulah, Gulah Island, Nickelodeon 1994-97) and a range of projects with husband, Ron Daise, preserving and celebrating South Carolina Sea Island language and culture. She is a recipient of the Jean Lacy Harris Folk Heritage award for lifetime achievement, and the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina's highest honor.
A talk-back with the audience follows both performances.

I have a Hen and Chicks plant that yellow jackets are swarming all over. This is the first one of these plants I have had and I have no idea why these wasps are all over it. I watered it a few days ago and used fish emulsion in the water, but I used it on all the other flowers and they are not swarming anything except the Hen and Chicks. Could it be that this plant has some sort of excretion that is attracting the wasps? When I first noticed them, it looked like they were trying to get into the dirt so I drowned some of them in the dirt with the hose. I even let the plant sit in water, but they are still coming, lighting on the edge of the pot and crawling all over the plant, in and out of the leaves. When it was in dry dirt, they would crawl under the leaves (into the dirt I guess). Anybody have any ideas or know of a wasp killer that will kill the wasps but won't hurt my plant?...Thanks for any help |

What size pot are you talking about? It could be that the yellow jackets have made a nest in the ground UNDER the pot and are using the pot as an entry point to their nest. I have had this happen once. You didn't say if it was on the ground or not. If it is on the ground, here is what I did. I waited till dark when the insects have gone to bed (haha). They are all on the nest. Move the pot. ( To keep from getting too close use a stick to push it over). If they have a nest under the pot, there will be a sizable entry point in the ground.The hole will likely be as big or bigger than a thumb. With the hen and chicks out of the way, you can pour any kind of pesticide in there (sevin, gasoline, etc).Do this in the dark with only a flashlite as necessary as they may start out of the nest as the light can alert them. All this is if the pot is on the ground. If not, I think you should remove the plant from the pot.do this in the dark. Maybe knock it over with a stick and let the plant lie there in the open. This should not hurt the plant if you don't leave it there out of the pot more than a day as this is a succulent. The yellow jackets should move on. |
wonelly, I can't think of any reason why yellow jackets would behave this way...other than a nest. Give us more information about the location of this plant (in a container or in the ground, etc.) But please, do not pour gasoline on the nest or into the soil. With more information, we can find a safe solution for you. |
The pot is approx. 8" across and 5" deep. This is a new plant and there is only one Hen in there that so far has produced one tiny Chick. I moved the plant last night and so far, the yellow jackets have not found it again. Today I am going to dump the soil, wash the pot and plant roots, and add new soil. It had been sitting on a long wooden bench along one side of my porch. How do I find the nest? Just by watching late evening to see where they go? They are swarming over some other plants on the porch now. Crawling in and out of pots and over the leaves. I'm starting to think they are in search of any moisture. We can't sit out on our porch any more because of these yellow jackets and other wasps. |
I think you hit the nail on the head! Moisture seeking is very likely. However, you can observe where their nest may be by watching them in at dusk-ish. I see an assortment of bees, wasps, and other insects at our bird bath. If you have a plastic pot saucer (or something relatively shallow) you could fill it with water and put it on the ground in a location that might attract them. |

I would appreciate advice on a major pool renovation that I am starting. I have a 38,000 in ground Sylvan pool (in NJ) that is about 30 years old. The main problem is the poured concrete deck which is in bad shape. It is sinking in sections and badly cracked in others. There are also hollow areas underneath some of the slabs probably from bad drainage around the pool area. I have contacted a number of pool companies for estimates. I am also going to have the pool replastered (I was told that paint applied by prior owner needs to be sandblasted before new plaster can be applied). Finally, I need new coping and tile. I would appreciate any advice on questions to ask to contractors and things to watch out for. One big question is whether I need to have the old deck jackhammered out and repoured. My guess is yes since it is sinking and badly deteriorated, but a pool guy yesterday told me that he could just pour concrete over the surface of the old deck and it would be fine (I assume that he is trying to scam me). Also, what cost range should I expect for the renovation? I know that it will depend somewhat on the materials I choose, but what would be a reasonable range? I very much appreciate your help and insight.

Hello. We are thinking to renovate our pool which is around 15 years old. We've been advised to resurface the interior with Quartzon or Pebblecrete. Has anyone used either of these interiors in their pools? We were told to look at Poolsurf & Quartzon design interiors: http://www.poolsurf.com.au/ Mad Pool Interiors were also reccommended by a friend. Any advice? |

I can speak religious gobbledygook 'til I'm blue in the face, but if I don't speak in love I'm just a loud fart or a phone ringing in a theatre. If I have all the knowledge of heaven and earth and I am full to the gills with faith, but am not loving - I'm just an empty shell. If I give everything I own to charity and sacrifice my time and life, but do it out of pride instead of love - I get no reward for it.
Love abides. Love is good. Love is not lust or sport or power or abuse!
Love does not control. It is not mean nor jealous. Love does not rejoice in lies or manipulation, but in truth and mutuality.
Love bears the burdens of others, lifts up others, hopes for others, and endures pain and loss.
Love is alpha and omega, has and always shall be - but religion and science comes and goes because we grasp only slippery parts. My small understanding will leave me when the totality is made known to me, for when I was a child I naturally acted like a child, then we grew up, and tried to act like an adult. For now, I only see myself in a dark and scratched looking-glass, but one day I will see God's face in the mirror. Now I grasp to retain bits of trivia, someday I will know everything (even as God knows me).
But for now: faith, hope and love hold fast - and of this trinity, love rules.
(Retelling of 1 Corinthians 13:1-13)

This is in furtherance to our earlierpost on Yahoo-Facebook (FB) patent law suits. Yahoo had sued FB for infringing on 10 of its patent applications. With more number of granted as well as filed patent applications, Yahoo is well ahead of FB in terms of patent portfolio strength and seems to have a clear edge in the battle. But now, FB is gearing up for the big battle. As a part of strengthening their weapon store, FB acquired around 750 patents from the software giant IBM. The acquired patents are expected to be into various domains such as software, networking and so on.
Image from here |
Neither FB nor IBM has commented on this reported acquisition. However, IP world is waiting to see what is FB's real intention behind strengthening their patent portfolio. Recent trends give a clear indication that when a company is being sued by another, it not only tries to defend the case, but also tries to counter attack and sue the enemy. Days ahead may witness furious IP battles. Lets enjoy the show….

City of Rahway 1 City Hall Plaza Rahway, NJ 07065 (732) 827-2000
October 6, 2003
In an effort to inform residents and property owners of the presence of flood hazards in Rahway and to suggest possible actions that may be taken to protect persons and property, the following is provided.
Flood Insurance
Most homeowner insurance policies do not cover losses due to floods. However, since Rahway is a participant in the NFIP, it is possible for property owners to obtain federally backed flood insurance. This insurance is available to any owner of insurable property (a building or its contents) in Rahway. Tenants may also insure their personal property against flood loss. Also, flood insurance policy holders in Rahway benefit from premium discounts. This is due to the City's extensive efforts to obtain credits, through the Community Rating system (CRS), to maintain specific measures for flood damage reduction. FEMA upgraded the city from class 9 to class 8, giving the approximate 402 flood insurance policyholders in the city a total discount of 10 percent off of flood insurance for all policies renewed after October 1, 2002. The total savings to city policyholders is approximately $27,472, or $68 per policyholder.
The City strongly urges you to buy flood insurance as needed to protect yourself from devastating losses due to flooding. You can find out if your property is located in a special flood hazard area through the City's Department of Building, Engineering, Planning & Economic Development at (732_ 827-2176.
The local flood hazards
The areas in and around the North and South Branches of the Rahway River, the Robinson's Branch of the Rahway River, the Orchard St. Brook, Maurice Avenue Brook, Milton Lake, Rahway Lake Park and certain other watercourses are subject to flooding. Floodplain maps, charts, reports and studies that document these areas are available for review in the Department of Engineering and also available for review at the Rahway Public Library.
Flood Protection Assistance
Flood Safety
If it has been determined that your property is in a special flood hazard area, there are several steps you can follow to alleviate problem situations, such as:
Flood Warning System
When the City of Rahway is expecting or experiencing inclement weather that may include heavy rain, residents in flood prone areas or low lying area are urged to plan preventative actions to protect life and property.
Residents are urged to monitor frequently weather and flood conditions that are broadcast over local radio and television stations. Residents will be provided with flood watch and flood warning advisories. A flood watch advisory indicates that the potential for a flood exists in the watch area, while a flood warning indicates that a flood has been detected.
Comcast Cable T.V. 34 covers the City and will issue timely updated information. This station is part of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) as are local television stations Channel 5 & 9. Radio station N.J.101.5 FM will also carry EBS messages.
In extreme situations, personnel of the Rahway Office of Emergency Management or Department of Public Safety will conduct "Route Altering" within flood prone areas to advise residents to move to higher ground prior to water levels reaching critical stages.
Property Protection Measures
There are various actions which can be taken to flood-proof structures. Depending upon the situation, location and availability of funds, the following measures can be used:
Floodplain Development
Please be advised that all development, including filling of land located in a special flood hazard area, is regulated differently from other areas. If you become aware of illegal filling or development in the flood plain, please contact the Department of Building, Engineering, Planning & Economic Development.
Drainage System Maintenance
In addition to regulating development and fill within the flood hazard area, the City of Rahway and State of New Jersey have regulations prohibiting dumping in channels, obstructing flows or any activity that would adversely effect the water-carrying capacity of any channel, floodway or floodplain. It has been demonstrated that regulating development and maintaining drainage systems can alleviate recurrent flooding which endangers life and damages property and facilities. Any activities that may be in violation of these regulations should be reported to the Department of Building, Engineering, Planning & Economic Development.
Substantial Improvement Requirements
With respect to requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) relative to substantial improvement in the flood plain, please be advised that if the cost of reconstruction, rehabilitation, additions, or other improvement to a building or home equals or exceeds 50% of the building's market value, then the building must meet the same flood plain construction requirements as a new building. Substantially damaged buildings must also be brought up to the same standards.
This requirement means elevating the lowest floor, including basement and certain utility systems, one (1) foot above the base flood elevation, which is the 100-year flood elevation.
For more information, contact the Department of Building, Engineering, Planning & Economic Development at (732) 827-2160.

Starting the California blueberry season, Gourmet Trading Co. is offering its fruit in different pack sizes.
click image to zoomGourmet TradingGourmet Trading is upsizing its blueberry clamshells. Instead of the traditional 4.4- and 6-ounce clamshells, the Los Angeles company is marketing what it calls its "super-sized" and "super-crunchy" blueberries in modified 5-, 10- and 16-ounce clamshells.
"We found that traditional pack sizes such as 4.4-ounce and 6-ounce were crushing the 18-mm minimum diameter berries," Julia Inestroza, Gourmet Trading's marketing director, said in a news release. "By putting fewer Superblues in each clamshell, we were able to give retailers a differentiated product at a comparable price point to regular blueberries."
Providing retailers the Superblues gives them the ability to target two types of customers at a similar price and provides them a more complete berry category, Inestroza said in the release.
Gourmet Trading plans to market California blueberries through the end of June.

Is there anyway to have your name changed without losing the association to all your posts?
To what....FloridaJen? :grin: You would have to talk to Lou....
LOL no to BamaJenn. See my sign-on for everything is "BamaJen" because of an old tie into a limited character sign-on I used years ago. But my name is Jenn with two N's. And since everyone here calls me by my sign-on (Jen) I want to fix it. LOL!!
I've had Lou fix my username a couple years ago. However if you look at some things, usually pictures, you'll still see my name the old way for some odd reason. Oh well. :lol: 100 meaningless bonus points if anyone can figure out the tiny change that was made!
As far as BamaJen vs Jenn....I can relate to that. I've been using "MandaBella" as my online name for over a decade, but only in the last few years people on the internet love to shorten it to "Manda." Well, my name isn't Manda (or Mandy)...it's Amanda. So, that's why I put "Amanda" in my signature here and that is always how I introduce myself online to other people, usually in chats. Sometimes I correct people, sometimes I don't. It's kinda hard to enforce it when I still use "MandaBella" as my handle.
Ahhh yes then you feel my pain.
Hoping that good karma will get me a night in the Castle... you are no BamaJenn :)
Hence forth ye shall be known as J E double N :grin:
give it up for the double N!!!!
LOL!!! Y'all are a trip! Maybe that should be my stage name... "Ladies and gentlemen... give it up for Double N!"
Jenn is so nice, she needed another N...........LOL
I am just glad that You got the name change.

Most of those days began with breakfast—a feast for a vegan god and his loyal acolytes—followed by a moderate hike with either Vic or Phil, who'd guide us through the trees, around rocks, or up to a small alpine clearing. And the group would talk (visit!) as we meandered there. In the afternoon, we'd either attend a lecture or have one of those tempting treatments on the spa menu.
"Today we are going on a rafting jaunt down the beautiful Shushwap River," Vic said over breakfast on the second morning. "Who's ready for it, eh?" Most of us were eventually rounded up by Vic's boundless enthusiasm and then herded into two blue rubber rafts to float slowly down the clear, cold river. The sun broke through the overcast sky every so often. We sang songs and even spotted an eagle soaring over the trees. It was like camp for retirees. It was even joyful.
Another day, we all gathered in an upstairs room for a group session with a local therapist. "Are you ready to have fun?" she asked. She pulled out a bag of plastic clown noses and passed them out to us. I rolled my eyes and groaned. "We're going to begin with a simple laugh," she told us. "And then we'll move on to something a little more challenging." Kim and I looked at each other, baffled. Challenging laughter?That's not even an oxymoron. It's just oxyoddness. "Now do what I do." Suddenly serious, she filled her diaphragm with oxygen, breathing through her nose. After holding a beat she exploded in measured, artificial laughter. "Now you try," she cheered. "Sure!" roared Wilbert, ready to jump on the happy wagon (one of my favorite haunts, as it happens). "First we inhale deeply," she advised. "Here we go! Now hold it and release." "HAHAHAHOHOHOHEHEHE." I am sitting on a couch in the Canadian hinterlands, I thought, wearing a plastic clown nose, learning to fake laugh from, presumably, Lumby's only accredited artificial laugh therapist.
After a few tries, most of us were laughing in earnest. I had never felt like that big of a, well, I suppose the word would be dork. The rest of my memories of the evening are a bit hazy, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we danced around the room with our red noses firmly on. There may even have been some hugging. You have to love a bunch of people long past the blush of youth dancing around a room wearing red noses and noisily chanting "HAHAHAHAHA," some slick with sweat, acting like special-needs kids. We all collapsed in exhaustion, flushed, most of us wondering what had just happened. Whatever it was, it was sure fun to do.
Still, I found myself reluctant to embrace the entire program—because once I gave everything up, I'd have nothing to reward myself with. (Look, I finished writing a book! Surely now I'm entitled to a cookie?) Or maybe because I thought I'd fail—it's just too difficult, dammit. But if anyone had a shot at shaking me out of my dancing boots, it was Vic.
So, yes, eventually I let Vic have his visit. He suggested replacing medicine with herbs, vitamins, and a better diet. Unfortunately, though it may take an apple a day to keep the doctor away, it'd take a whole orchard to keep away a psychopharmacologist. Okay, I must admit: I was not the resort's star guest. On top of bringing in the contraband caffeine, I sneaked down to the kitchen late at night and ate their soy ice cream. I also sneaked off campus to "town." What I wanted from Vic and this spa experience was some sort of epiphany that would blast me with an all-powerful light and make me a changed person—with little effort. But I fear that my conversion will be more the gradual sort.
I think I am in the process of courting change, of getting around to acting and eating my age. There will be effort involved and slip-ups and self-recrimination. Fewer niggling little pills rolling their blue, pink, or yellow eyes at me. The last time I was put on a "medication vacation," after all, I stayed awake for six teeth-clenching days; this will not be such a simple affair.
In the end, I can't say I'm a transformed person since my visit, but, more than ever, I plan to be, and that counts for something, doesn't it?I drink a little less caffeine and a little more water and I have a standing appointment with a Pilates instructor, and every time I eat red meat, I feel really bad about it. So, though it wasn't exactly a success, it was a failure in the right direction. And that's all because of Vic and Phil and the Alive Resort for Wellness & Longevity. And the truant in me will never forgive them.

Thanks to clever printing, good packaging and all-round mimicry, counterfeit products aren't so easily identified these days.
The days of your Gocci watches, Channel lipstick and Louise Vuitton handbags are numbered. Knock-offs are now sporting fake tags, certificates of authenticity and guarantees. As a result, counterfeit goods such as designer shoes and handbags, perfumes and cosmetics are rife.
The products are now so convincing that even retailers are finding it hard to tell the difference between what's genuine and what's counterfeit - Australian discount department store Target recently had to pay global make up brand MAC$1m in a settlement after the store was busted selling allegedly fake MAC cosmetics.
But there's more at stake in the counterfeit game than a multinational corporation's profit margins.
Australians regularly pay more at the cosmetics counter than their fellow consumers overseas, so buying a cheapie can be tempting. But while it's one thing to get stung financially when buying a pair of counterfeit shoes or a bag, it's a different story when you're rubbing something counterfeit onto your face.
Fake cosmetics and perfumes, while looking and maybe even smelling similar to their real counterparts, may contain a whole host of unknown chemicals, meaning they're unlikely to comply with the regulations set by the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS), Australia's cosmetics regulator.
Unsafe chemicals used in counterfeit cosmetics could cause:
But how do you know that the product you're buying is a knock-off and not just a parallel-imported cheapie? Here's our spot-the-fake checklist:
12 Sep 2013 | Knock-off products are no longer easily identified by misspelled logos and shoddy craftsmanship. While the quality of counterfeit products appears to be improving, the counterfeiters are also getting smarter at marketing their products.
19 Jun 2012 | How can some products look, taste and function the same, yet vary so markedly in price from their mainstream, retail counterparts?
21 Nov 2007 | While it's more likely you'll come across a counterfeit perfume at the markets or online, some knock-offs are also finding their way onto retail shelves.
26 Mar 2009 | In an average day – commuting to work, buying a coffee, exercising and so on – you'll likely be exposed to as many as 5000 advertising messages.

Grantee: Northeast Indiana Solid Waste Management District and Wood-Land-Lake Resources Conservation and Development, Inc. Basin Program Funds: $15,000 Non-federal Funds: $21,142 Project Duration: 06/1998 - 12/1999 Status: complete
Problem Statement An abandoned 18-acre landfill on the Black Creek, in northeastern Indiana's St. Joseph River watershed, has been a chronic source of sediment and contaminated leachate to the surrounding watershed. It drains to Fish Creek which contains the greatest diversity of freshwater mussels in the Great Lakes basin. Further downstream, the St. Joseph River flows into Fort Wayne, Indiana and provides drinking water for over 200,000 people.
Background Agency jurisdiction over the landfill is unclear and, as such, offered an opportunity to develop a unique approach to environmental remediation. A new partnership has emerged to address the problems associated with the site, building trust and a working relationship among representatives of public, private, local, state and federal groups. This project exemplifies the Wood-Land-Lakes Resource Conservation and Development Area Council's mission of "volunteers working together for responsible stewardship of our natural resources." Local citizens had a direct impact on water quality by adopting the abandoned, 18-acre landfill site, while all partners participated in developing and implementing the remediation plan.
Activities The goal of the Apollo Erosion Control Project is to control erosion, sedimentation and surface run-off from the highly erosive landfill site. The Apollo Erosion Control Project has had an impact on recreation, biodiversity, economic sustainability, human health and grassroots partnership issues. Improved water quality has helped to ensure continued use of the creek for water-based recreation and improved habitat for fish and wildlife populations.
This project is a component of a larger landfill closure plan which involves implementing erosion control and establishing vegetative cover. The partnership has already assessed current erosion rates, determined the number and type of erosion control structures required and selected the vegetative practices best suited to the site.
The project team began work on the landfill site in October 1998. The first step was to construct a permanent service road to ensure adequate access to the site.
During the summer of 1999, project personnel prepared the site by grading the north and east gullies. They installed 30 tons of rip-rap with subsurface drainage tiles along the gullies. The top of the site, approximately 8 acres, required almost 12,500 cubic yards of clay to cap it. After spreading a layer of topsoil, project personnel used a hydroseeder to overseed with a grass-legume and wheat cover crop. They also constructed a sediment retention basin covering approximately 1/4-acre. The basin required an additional 15 tons of rip rap and is approximately three feet deep.
Results Project personnel estimate that the grade stabilization structure will save 7,400 tons of sediment, 37 pounds of phosphorus and 7 pounds of nitrogen over the 20 year life of the structure. Additionally, the seeded cap is expected to remain for 50 years and save 24,300 tons of soil, 121 pounds of phosphorus and 24 pounds of nitrogen over its lifespan. The project has been demonstrated to over 6,500 students, lake association members, elected officials, environmental groups and federal, state and local agencies. Project personnel arranged for a site tour, conducted a radio interview and wrote numerous newspaper and newsletter articles.
The initial Great Lakes Basin Program grant received considerable local publicity which encouraged the project group to seek additional funds. An additional $121, 000 in funding for more work on the project has resulted from the initial investment. A local foundation provided money for groundwater monitoring wells and funding for additional work has been approved by

Something is destroying my Indian Hawthorns. For years they have looked great and this year was no exception.....until a few weeks ago. Something (caterpillars) have made hunderds of what look like cocoons on a few of the plants. Two others look fine. The "cocoons" are brown and white in color and are 1"-2" long. What are they and how do I get rid of them. |

Oh my gosh! You have a bad bagworm infestation. The create a protective 'bag' around them with the leaf material. Commonly seen on arborvitae. Pick off by hand or spray! They've been on there for a while. |

Here's more info. Get them off, make sure the plant is watered. Give it time, to see if it recovers. |

Just a note from experience, when you handpick them be sure to kill them. I had them on a shrub years ago and spent a good bit of time picking them off one by one into a bucket. I left the bucket on the porch overnight and the next day they had crawled out of the bucket and into my foundation shrubs! I still get the willies thinking about it. |
They are all over three of the bushes. Is there an insecticide that will kill them? |
- Posted by paula_in_pa z6 SEPA ChesCo (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 08 at 16:58
Bt won't help at this stage of the caterpillars' life cycle. It needs to be applied when they are very young and small. Truly, I know you don't want to hear this, but handpicking is your best option at this time. It won't take all that long, and you can do a little bit every day. |

Jim Cramer: Parrying Another Attack
NEW YORK (Real Money) -- Wow, new attack against me: I am taking advantage of my celebrity and my wealth to open businesses that could be done by others and I am crowding them out of the space.
"The celebrity gains the most, a type gentrification if you will," says Steve C., who says that "hundreds of others in similar low paying jobs may lose theirs." He adds "celebrity ventures take away people that do it for a living."
OK, cowboy. For my restaurant I am partnered with two young people who are making a go of it after working hard at the restaurants of others. We have put ten people to work at my place and will hire more. For the inn, we have a handful of people who do the hard work. I serve the breakfast Sundays and occasionally check people in. I take no jobs from anyone and I create a whole bunch.
This restaurant business is the sixth I have started. My efforts have given probably a thousand people a very good wage and very good healthcare, the latter of which I am most proud about. I have learned much about business through these service and hospitality companies as I wrote earlier. I cannot, for the life of me, see how any of this is bad, per se. These businesses would not have been started without my capital and, I might add, my hard work because I have never asked an employee at any of my businesses to do anything that I wouldn't do, as anyone who has seen me bus tables and clean up at Bar San Miguel knows all too well.
There is no silver spoon here. I started with nothing and was destitute for a spell, living in my car, not even paycheck to paycheck because I simply stopped paying bills. I had no healthcare and got very sick, jaundiced liver, mononucleosis, you name it. I went to a farm workers' clinic for healthcare and begged for medicine. When the collectors caught up with me, I came up with a multi-year plan to pay a little each month until I got back on my feet. I vowed never to be as poor as I was and if I could ever be in a position to create businesses, hire people at decent wages and give them healthcare I would, as I know what it's like to be down and out. There was another bitter, brutal time in my life, well chronicled in "Confessions," where I would have told these critics to rot in hell. Now? I just say, "FOCUS!" Random Musings: Thanks for all of the birthday wishes. Maybe that's why I am, at 59, feeling real feisty!Editor's Note: This article was originally published at 3:01 p.m. EST on Real Money on Feb. 10.

I am a glitter fiend. I love the stuff, especially when its iridescent or rainbow.
My joy, last Xmas, when Lee Stafford haircare released this sparkle spray!
Its a sparkle spray and a firm hold hairspray. The glitter is pink, gold, bronze, light green and white from what I can tell, lovely combination. In daylight its barely visible on my light brown hair and its gorgeous indoors, lots of people comment on it.
It has a strange smell, but it disappears. Its perfect for nights out and long shifts at Xmas when I want to cheer myself up without worrying that its tested on animals...because its not!

Fever's Tamika Catchings says NBA lockout not a concern | WNBA Talk
Editor's note: Seattle Times reporter Jayda Evans will have a weekly conversation with a newsmaker in the WNBA. This week she speaks with Indiana All-Star Tamika Catchings, president of the WNBA Players Association. NBA owners locked out their players July 1. Catchings speaks about how it affects the WNBA.
Seattle Times: The WNBA has 12 teams, six are owned by NBA franchises, including Indiana. Could their lockout affect the woman's league?
Tamika Catchings: I don't think it really is a concern. We're keeping the WNBA and NBA separate. It's definitely one of those things that everybody hopes they can get settled. But as far as the WNBA and NBA, we have to focus on what we're doing and put out a great product that people will continue to come and support.
ST: Do players even ask about it to be sure that's the case?
TC: We don't really talk about it. In the locker room, we just got done watching the NBA Finals and everybody is kind of on a high of talking about that. The lockout is not really talked about. It's more the battle between Miami and Dallas.
ST: What did you think of that series?
TC: I thought Miami could have won it in four if it weren't for certain circumstances. It just makes you realize as a player you have to play 40 minutes (WNBA) every single game. Even when you're up with three minutes or four minutes left in a game, you've still got to play those four like you played the rest of the game.
ST: Did it remind you of when the Fever was in Finals and lost to Phoenix?
TC: Definitely! We went all the way to Game 5 in 2009 and you think about different games and different situations, we could've taken care of business and didn't. We should have won it in Game 4 and didn't.
ST: So, the biggest union issue with WNBA players has been whether you can wear 'dress pants,' and it got heated. What was up with that?
TC: (Laughs) We want to keep a level of professionalism in this league. Our presentation and how we look is definitely a big thing. Sometimes as players, managers and even president of the WNBA — you think that level should be set at certain points and bump heads because you don't agree. We agreed it's (jeans with) no holes, no fringe. They have to look nice.
ST: Your CBA isn't set to expire until 2013. Do you give it any thought now?
TC: We haven't gotten down and dirty, but we are going to have to start getting together and putting some things in motion for the future.
ST: How do you look back on the pioneering players who helped get the WNBA's first CBA?
TC: It's really cool. Not just those players, but the ones that even came before them — setting that tone. We continue that path. But I remember when the WNBA first came ... sort of with all the running coach (Pat Summitt) had us doing at Tennessee at the time. That whole 'We Got Next' commercial. We would go to the court and we thought we were doing big things in college. We'd be like, 'Yeah, we got next!' For me, it made a statement. Like the guys, the NBA, was playing, but you better stay tuned and make sure you follow us. It was that extra attitude, but a fun one. 'We got next! Want some of this?'

If you look under my little "Categories" toolbar to the right over there, you'll see that there's an entire "Pancake Addiction" category.
Though they're not my go-to every morning breakfast (that would be slow-cooked eggs of arugula with avocado, goat cheese, sunflower seeds and a dash of really good olive oil and fleur de sel), they're one of my favorite things: so light and fluffy and indulgent. I've been doing the gluten free thing for almost 20 years – sometimes incredibly strictly, sometimes a bit more lax – and I remember a huge chunk of my childhood either going without or having really sub-par replacements.
Not any more. The gluten free world is so delightfully dynamic now, and the demand for allergy-friendly takes on the classics continues to rise. These pancakes are so easy to whip up, and they flavor and texture are truly incredible: thick but fluffy with perfect little air pockets, a touch sweet and ready for syrup, and great for making while dancing around your kitchen on a Saturday morning…
Or a Wednesday… or Monday… or…
Happy Wednesday from a gray, chilly NYC folks,
- Jacqueline
Light and Fluffy Gluten-Free Pancakes
Makes 10 4″ pancakes
The combination of flours is important here, both for taste and texture. You can make multiple batches of the dry ingredients and store them to have at hand, and adapt them to your heart's content. Millet is easily digestible and a slightly sweet, nutty grain, and brown rice gives a bit of structure without the gumminess that white rice sometimes brings to the table.
I use unsweetened almond milk from Blue Diamond as it doesn't contain a gum like the Silk brand does. If using a milk-alternative, make sure that yours doesn't contain a gum. If it does, omit the xanthan gum from the recipe. And if you can't do xanthan gum, add 1 Tbsp of ground flax.
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup millet flour
- 1/4 cup brown rice flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (or 1/4 tsp table salt)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (optional)
Wet Ingredients: Warm or room temperature
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup milk*
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider or white vinegar
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup water
- Whisk the wet ingredients (start with 1/4 cup water) together until smooth.
- Pour over dry ingredients and whisk together until smooth and pliable, about 2 minutes.
- If the batter is a tad thick, add water 1 Tbsp at a time until the batter falls smoothly off a spoon and leaves the tiniest trail back in the bowl. This will make very thick and fluffy pancakes. If you like yours a bit thinner, add the remaining water.
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat, grease and drop about 1/4 cup batter. Cook for about five minutes until the edges brown slightly, flip and cook until lightly brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
Please use real maple syrup on your pancakes and not corn-starchy "pancake syrup". Fresh fruit, nut butter or even something savory all make great toppers. If making blueberry pancakes, toss 1 cup of fresh blueberries in a bit of gluten free flour and gently fold them in at the end. To make extremely zingy blueberry pancakes, check out my Blueberry Lemon Pancakes, which are my favorites. Or for something a little naughty, try my slightly cocoa-y Red Velvet Pancakes.
