Lake District & Cumbria GuideThe Lake District is one of England's most beautiful regions. It has scenic lakes and gushing waterfalls, breathtaking valleys and soaring mountain ranges, as well as many picturesque towns and villages surrounded by farmland. Covering an area of just 30 miles wide, but encompassing an area of over 800 square miles, the Lake District National Park forms part of the wider county of Cumbria, which features many attractions. These include the historic town of Carlisle, the harbour towns of Whitehaven and Maryport, the market town of Ulverston, and the ship building port of Barrow-in-Furness. Getting ThereThe charm of the Lake District is its remote nature, however this means it is not as easy to get to as the more urban areas of the UK. With careful planning, most places are accessible, but the easiest way to travel is by car. When travelling by train or bus ensure you check the times prior to travel, and also check the return journey, as they are not as frequent as you may think.

Getting AroundThe Lake District is not well connected in terms of public transport, with driving still being the best way to access some of the most remote areas. If you are travelling by public transport, ensure that you have familiarised yourself with bus and train routes and times before travelling, as services can be infrequent. Don't forget to utilise the many guided tours and buses that are available. These are sometimes the best way of exploring the Lake District. The majority offer full and half day tours, taking in tourist attractions where appropriate, and enable you to discover the idyllic Lake District. Try:
Visitors may also want to utilise the Lakes Day Ranger and Lakes Family Day Ranger, valid on:
Where to StayThe rural nature and popularity of the Lake District (also known as The Lakes) have led to the availability of a wide choice of accommodation including farm house cottages, bed and breakfasts, inns, and luxury hotels. For those looking to stay close to Windermere, a good selection of lodgings can be found in and around Ambleside, Bowness and in the village of Windermere itself. North of Windermere, the village of Grasmere, once home of the poet William Wordsworth, also offers a fine selection of places to stay. Visitors to the Northern Lakes would do well to consider Pooley Bridge or Glenridding, both of which are situated on Ullswater. Although slightly further away, Penrith is also convenient for touring the Northern Lakes. The market town of Keswick is located close to Bassenthwaite and Derwent Water, and provides a convenient, central base for exploring the Lakes. View LateRooms complete selection of Lake District hotels. ShoppingIt's impossible to visit the Lake District without sampling some of the local produce. Local ProduceCumberland Sausage Waberthwaite is home to the royal butcher, Richard Woodall, so you could say it's food fit for a queen. Kendal Mint Cake: If you have a sweet tooth you must sample some of this. It was even taken to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953 to keep the climbers going, and is still used by walkers today as a source of energy. Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding Made from 100% natural, local ingredients, this is a treat not to be missed. They even supply to Harvey Nichols and Selfridges. Hawkshead Relish Company In the past the company has won Speciality Producer of the Year, and is renowned for its locally produced sauces and relishes, including their Cumberland Sauce and Hawkshead Relish. The 1657 Chocolate House Built in the 1630s the house was originally a private dwelling, later converted to a bakery. Today the restaurant sells a range of delicious chocolate drinks, gateaus and... chocolates, of course. A treat not to be missed.
With all that inspiring scenery, it's no wonder that that the Lake District is brimming with artistic talent and creativity.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Leaders of LSU's public hospital system said Tuesday that Gov. Bobby Jindal's budget overestimates revenue for its hospitals and clinic network next year and that the system would have to impose cuts to close a multi-million dollar funding gap.
University hospital officials told the House Appropriations Committee that the 10 hospitals and their outpatient facilities that serve the poor and uninsured face an estimated $43 million in cuts in the fiscal year that begins July 1.
"We don't see what's in the executive budget as a standstill, flat budget for us," said Fred Cerise, LSU's vice president for health affairs, disagreeing with a Jindal administration assessment about the governor's proposed 2012-13 budget.
Meanwhile, another $41 million proposed in Jindal's budget recommendations for the hospitals is tied to several assumptions, including the sale of a New Orleans mental health facility, that haven't happened yet. If the assumptions don't pan out, the hospitals could face further reductions.
"We're at a point in our budget where a reduction in funding means a reduction in services," Cerise told lawmakers.
LSU runs seven south Louisiana hospitals through the Health Care Services Division, with its main hospital based in New Orleans. Another three hospitals in north and central Louisiana are managed through the LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport. The university trains new doctors and other health care professionals through the medical centers in New Orleans and Shreveport.
The Appropriations Committee is combing through Jindal's $25.5 billion spending plan for next year and will devise its own budget proposals within a few weeks.
Rep. Jim Fannin, chairman of the committee, told LSU officials that they were unlikely to see increased funding, and he warned them that the state's revenue picture could worsen.
"I think the challenge continues to be to look to those efficiencies because I think there still may be some reductions prior to seeing those revenues and levels of funding that you would like to see in your agencies," said Fannin, D-Jonesboro.
Any cuts would fall on top of several rounds of reductions that the hospitals have seen in recent years, which Cerise said have limited access to services for the indigent. LSU medical school leaders said future cuts could damage medical training programs, which prepare a large percentage of the doctors and other health professionals who work in Louisiana.
Hugh Mighty, a vice chancellor with the LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, projected a $23 million shortfall for its three hospitals and medical center in next year's budget proposal. Roxane Townsend, head of the LSU Health Care Services Division, or HCSD, said the seven hospital divisions in south Louisiana would face a $20 million cut.
HCSD's budget cut would deepen if the Jindal administration doesn't generate $35 million from the sale of a mental hospital in New Orleans and if the city of New Orleans doesn't repay $6 million in recovery funds it borrowed from the state after Hurricane Katrina, money that is used in the governor's budget to fund the charity hospitals.
Townsend described a "worst-case scenario" that would involve widespread reductions across the seven hospitals and cut inpatient beds by 25 percent, emergency room beds by 40 percent and outpatient clinic volumes by 20 percent. But she said she didn't expect that to happen because LSU continues to negotiate its budget with the Jindal administration.

Special to the Times-Record
The Maasjo Sisters from the Valley City and Fingal area will be sharing their talents at the final evening of music on the Courthouse lawn on Wednesday, August 8 at 7:15 p.m.
I was born blessed with the curse of caring. What an enigmatic statement that is. "Blessed with a curse." Does that even make sense? When you are an overly-sensitive soul you may find yourself overusing words like: discernment, gut-feelings, sensing and empathy. The blessing in the curse is that you and I were chose to care. The curse is the burden the care exaggerates in those of us who aren't created with an "off" button. How nice and comfortable life would be if I could just care for a moment and let it go. The curse. It's never-ending this blessing of being cursed with care.
The Sheyenne Valley Friends of Animals will be hosting its fourth annual Wag and Walk-A-Thon later this month and is currently seeking volunteers.
Tracy Lee, who will be coordinating the event, said participants will fill out a brouchure that has a pledge sheet. Participants will gather pledges from friends, family and neighbors.
Lee said anyone can volunteer, and they are looking for people to fill a variety of tasks.
Valley City tops the list of North Dakota businesses designated as "infant friendly" by the North Dakota Department of Health with seven for the city, said Deanna Askew, Healthy Communities for the N.D. Department of Health.
This year the health department designated 20 state businesses as infant friendly.
Designated Valley City businesses are the City-County Health District, City of Valley City, Sanford Health Clinic, Sanford Health Eye Clinic, Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce, Valley City State University and the Circle of Friends Preschool.
Shane Ost had plenty of successes as a member of the Valley City High School golf team, posting the top score at the 2010 Class B Region 1 tournament as he helped lead the Hi-Liners to the Class B state championship that year. It's talent that will be coming back to Valley City. Ost, a 2011 graduate of VCHS, signed a letter of intent Tuesday to attend Valley City State University and join the Viking golf team.
Local digest VC Extreme Struggles at National Tournament The Valley City Extreme 16U softball team will try to avoid elimination today after losing its first three games at the Northern Nationals tournament in Greenfield, Wisc. Valley City started the tournament with a 6-0 loss to the Greenfield Ignitors Wednesday. In the game Valley City had six runners stranded, five in scoring position.
An invasive plant species is keeping area ranchers and the Barnes County Weed Control Board on its toes.
Weed Control Director Jim McAllister said Spotted Knapweed has been in the area for about eight years, but now it is threatening a widespread infestation.
"We consider there's probably 225 acres infested, and the bad part about it is it makes pasture virtually worthless," he said. "The Knapweed is an annual or a short-lived biennial, but it still has the ability to choke out anything that's growing."
Eight faculty members and one translator from Hangzhou, China visited Valley City Wednesday where they toured Valley City State University and the downtown area.
Each summer, a group of faculty from Zhejiang Economic and Trade Polytechnic (ZJETP) College visit the Fargo area, and VCSU partners with North Dakota State University to host a portion of their visit. The professors arrived at about 9 a.m. and started their tour at the university.
Governor Jack Dalrymple signed an executive order on Monday that suspends the limit of sulfates in the Sheyenne River as the new outlets on East Devils Lake pump high-sulfate water into the river which is the primary source of drinking water for Valley City.
North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple suspended the maximum limit on sulfates in the Sheyenne River. Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed an executive order on Monday that waives compliance with water quality standards that were adjusted last year to handle water drained from Devils Lake into the Sheyenne River. Drinking water with high sulfates has adverse effects on humans and Valley City's drinking water is taken from the river.
More on this story as it develops. The executive order is printed below.

The set came just in time. Very happy with the rings, I've only had them for 2 days so this is strictly based on the NEW product, as for wear and tear we will have to see. Only complaint I have is that the womens ring is a little thicker than what my fiance was hoping for but other than that it looks like a solid, well made set of rings. Color is perfect and it doesn't feel cheap at all. I bought these with no reviews to go by so I was taking a chance but now you don't have to because I can tell you the product fits the description perfectly.

The last two months have been busy in the office of the Winona Area Chamber of Commerce President. Della Schmidt is spearheading a new initiative in Winona she hopes will rejuvenate and preserve downtown. With the help of $30,000 from the Port Authority, and the direction from the National Trust for Historic Preservations Main Street program, Winona could see its downtown come back to life.
This has really been a long time coming, Schmidt said. Since 2007, we have been taking baby steps to get this initiative off the ground.
The Lake Lodge lighting initiative, Light Up Main Street project, and beautification of the Main Street medians were all part, Schmidt said, of getting the small pieces of the puzzle together to start creating the bigger picture.
The agreement between the Chamber and Port Authority is just the first step, Schmidt explained, in a multi-year commitment that begins with the designation of Winona as a "Main Street City."
Main Street
A nationally recognized program, the Main Street initiative has helped cities across the United States revitalize and manage their downtown neighborhood and commercial districts. The initiative uses a four-point systemorganization, promotion, design, and economic restructuringthat focuses on saving historic districts that are threatened by a struggling economy.
In the next month, the city and chamber will complete an application to secure the Main Street designation from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. A nine-member advisory steering committee will be appointed by the end of the year. Finally, the chamber will hire a full-time staff person dedicated strictly to the progress of the Main Street movement. Schmidt anticipates filling the post by January 2013.
We will have that staff person dedicated to the movement and we have a proven, nationally recognized program to guide us, said Schmidt.
Winona would join the ranks of four other Minnesota cities with the Main Street designation: Brainerd, Faribault, Red Wing, and Willmar.
What appeals to me is the track record behind this program, Port Authority and City Council Member Al Thurley explained. I think it can help us make downtown the success that I know it can be.
When Winona becomes a designated Main Street community, the National Trust for Historic Preservation will provide assistance for specific projects the city is undertaking. Schmidt said projects could range from managing the potted plants and other foliage in the downtown medians to storefront façade improvements.
The important concept to remember as we put this program together is that all of the work wont be done in several months, Schmidt said. Rome wasnt built in a day. We need to put the right staff together and allow the steering committee to take this concept and help it grow. The real work is yet ahead and this is going to be a long, committed journey.
History of downtown revitalization
By the end of the 1800s, Winona had a booming economy and the commercial district was ahead of its time. The city created the first Levee park on the Mississippi River and boasted quality Queen Anne style architecture all over town. Winona was held in high regard by other early river cities and set the precedent for town preservation.
Winona continued to grow and change. Urban renewal swept through town during the 1960s, bringing with it the promise of a modern downtown district and the plans for a state-of-the-art river center that would bring in tourists by the thousands.
The program tried to take care of the blight in the urban areas and what they defined as blight was the old downtown buildings, Winona County Historical Society Executive Director Mark Peterson said. By this time, downtown was struggling and the plan was to start with the old post office and court house and build more modern government buildings. The post office was demolished and a new one built on half of Central Park. A concerted effort by local activists saved the court house from demolition.
However, Peterson said, funding kept falling through, leaving Winona's charming downtown to disintegrate. The first federal dollars given to Winonas revitalization plan were used to demolish what was known as the Morgan Block, which was Main Street to Center Street, and Third Street to Second Street, Peterson said.
They tore down what many people argued was the prettiest downtown commercial Victorian block, Peterson said. They had a gravel parking lot in that area for years. The one-story mall thats there is struggling. I dont think this endeavor was as successful as they thought it would be.
Floodwaters ripped through the city in 1965 and 1969, putting an indefinite stop to downtown revitalization plans while the focus was on the destroyed Levee Park and flood mitigation. Plans to build a dike protecting the city were quickly approved. Citizens became concerned, and the Historical Society feared a concrete wall could jeopardize river views. The society paid $10,000 to study how the wall could be built to retain a river connection. But the concrete dike was built, giving Levee Park the new nickname Concrete Park.
The next three decades produced more fruitless efforts to revitalize downtown and Levee Park, and the lack of funding was always the crux of the problem. The Special Service District proposed in 2007 was designed to collect funds from downtown businesses to pay for a variety of projects that would enhance Winona. Properties in this district were to be assessed on a yearly basis and the money put into a downtown fund.
Joe Barbeau, who was then the assistant city planner, said the money could be put toward anything one could imagine. However, by the end of 2007, the plan was quashed. Two years later, the Historic Downtown Business Group and the Downtown Revitalization Committee talked about merging, but failed to do so. There is not now a downtown business group.
You would go to meetings and have two groups doing one thing and then the Chamber wanted to do another thing; it just kind of fizzled out, Peterson said. Then, the Main Street approach was being pursued.
The City of Winona has entertained at least a dozen downtown revitalization plans since the mid-1960s, but has found it difficult to secure funds. Committees have been appointed by City Hall to study revitalization of the Levee and downtown, but nothing became of them, as plans were never funded. As recently as August 2011, Winona city leaders talked about rejuvenating Levee Park and downtown, but that effort, too, faded away.
Already in the city's 2007 capital improvement plan, Schmidt said, the Main Street initiative is the right option at the right time. Both Peterson and Schmidt say they share the optimism of the Port Authority that the Main Street initiative is what's right for Winona.
"We are prepared to move forward with full implementation of the Main Street program," Schmidt said. "Funding has always been the biggest equation and thanks to our unique partnership with the Port, we are able to get this off the ground."
"This is not a program where we do four things and then sit back and look at what we've done; this is a long journey," Schmidt said. "This is going to be a continuous culture change."

A complaint against Virgin Media has been upheld by Britain's Advertising Standards Authority, which ordered it not to run its "HATE TO WAIT?" ad campaign again. The ad, regulators said, did not accurately depict the speed of its internet service.
A complainant registered by rival British Telecom claimed that Virgin misled users with the ads, because its traffic management policy capped speeds during busy hours, during which the marketed speeds would not be available.
In effect, regulators enforced a component of Net Neutrality on somewhat imaginative grounds: if you don't offer a free and fast internet, you may not advertise it.
Virgin's response was that it only focused on heavy downloaders and uploaders, whose activities it claims saturates bandwidth. It added that a typo in the ad that made it look more ungenerous than it is (a 300MB cap was printed as 300Mb – a megabit being just one eighth of a megabyte) and that it was essential to manage excessive network use.
The ASA's response? That's all fine and dandy, but it's not what you advertised:
The ad did not make clear that the 26 minute download time was only possible during off-peak hours, or that by downloading one full TV show in peak hours customers would automatically be in breach of the download limits…
Because that was not the case we concluded that the ad was misleading. The ad breached CAP Code clauses 3.1 (Substantiation) and 7.1 (Truthfulness). …
We told Virgin to make clear in future ads that download times would be restricted during peak hours. We advised them to seek guidance from the Copy Advice team when preparing similar ads in the future.
The ASA recently ordered Apple not to run iPhone ads without making it clear the depicted internet speeds were simulated.

As promised- more notice this time...
After one seriously wet night, followed by one lovely sunny morning, followed by another night of rain- it has been decided, NOT to move the next camping trip one week forward- to this coming weekend (as previously stated) but two weeks forward. The MET - after failing us over the weekend - promises the weather will be more hospitable then.
So, the next Gloucestershire eco-village camping trip will take place on Friday the 20th, through to Sunday the 22nd.
The location has changed, however it's still in the Forest of Dean.
For those of you that missed the last invite, here is the info...
The Gloucestershire eco-village group will be meeting for a weekend of camping, live music, discovering some of the forests secrets whilst foraging about for wild edible, relaxing around the campfire- debating how we might go about resolving the complex, seemingly insurmountable problems we all face. Whilst enjoying the sun, and each others company amongst the natural splendour and beauty of the forest of dean.
This camping trip has been organised to allow for a much needed discussion, and networking between people interested in establishing an eco-village in the Gloucestershire area. To also discuss the possibility of setting up a group of guerilla gardeners, to begin the process of turning land that is damaged, abandoned and unloved, back into the productive eco-system it once was.
We could turn run-down buildings into educational, and inspiring spaces, to host community events, skill-share workshops, free courses and talks on a wide variety of subjects, all in an free, informal environment. Somewhere fun, for people to come and learn about the world around them, and themselves.
Using the methods of agro-forestry, and through developments by such groups as permaculture, we are now able to design eco-systems around our needs, using the laws and methods of the natural world within our design, to grow forests that produce an abundance of food. This is what we could be doing with waste land, unused tracts, brown and green belt. Organised together, we could restore land degraded by destructive farming methods, start community gardens and allotments, spaces for the local community to learn about growing their own food, and for children to become interested in plants and wildlife.
We will talk, plan, and share ideas about addressing the problems we all face- affordable housing, homelessness, rising food costs, destruction of the natural world, energy costs, rising political and economic absurdity- these are all OUR problems, and if we seek to resolve them we ALL need to take responsibility, and meaningful action. Pointing the finger of culpability, or hoping that we'll get out of this mess by voting red instead of blue in 4 years, is simply absurd.

There's a lot going on, but I'm not sure there is a lot happening. I love David Cronenberg and I'm sure there is deeper meaning to be found here, but I can't say I was impressed here. Still, at least Pattinson proved he can do something other than Twilight and the story (while all over the place) offers some unique insights into everything from money to power to love to violence - albeit in a roundabout way. I think you have to be in the right frame of mind to like this and maybe, on another day, I might rate this higher.

Cosmopolis review
Two quotes that almost symbolizes the premise of the film:"I'm looking for more." and "Life is... too contemporary." Definitely acquired taste and fans of the director's style. It's one of the best paced as well. A very wealthy Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson) is moving around Manhattan to have a haircut with a high tech limousine and bodyguard. Definitely the director's well paced film with subtle touches of skillful directing. Communication is the key to enjoying this film, the rest would follow, which you can feel in every excellently executed movie. Surprisingly you see a different Pattinson, sincere and maddening which fits the role. A few scene stealing moments were the conversations in the final scene with Giamatti and with Samantha Morton (Vija, Erics chief adviser) The s...

The solution to this problem came in part from Boeing expert Nate Price, who was instrumental in creating cabin pressurization through a series of valves to regulate oxygen flow within the plane. The Boeing 307 Stratoliner, which first flew in 1938, was the fruit of Price and company's labor. It kept passengers and crew breathing comfortably and also allowed for flight above the clouds to reduce turbulence and avoid poor weather. As modern airline passengers, we feel the effects of Price's handiwork with every unnervous breath.

The Victoria Cross is the pre-eminent award for acts of bravery in wartime and is Australia's highest military honour.
Victoria Cross medal
Significance The Victoria Cross is awarded to persons who, in the presence of the enemy, display the most conspicuous gallantry; a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice; or extreme devotion to duty. History The Victoria Cross was created by Queen Victoria in 1856 and made retrospective to 1854 to cover the period of the Crimea War. Until the Victoria Cross for Australia was created in 1991, Australians were eligible for the Victoria Cross and other awards under the Imperial system of honours. The Imperial Victoria Cross has been awarded to ninety six Australians. Ninety one received the Victoria Cross while others serving with Australian forces and five Australians received the award while serving with South African and British units. Australians were first recognised for their gallantry in the Boer War and more recently during the Vietnam War. Australians have been awarded the Victoria Cross in the following conflicts: 6 in the Boer War 1899-1902 64 in World War I 1914-1918 2 in North Russia 1919 20 in World War II 1939-1945 4 in Vietnam 1962-1972 Nine of the crosses awarded in World War I were for Australians at Gallipoli. Past recipients Ninety six Australians have been awarded the Imperial Victoria Cross. The first Australian to be awarded a Victoria Cross was Captain Sir Neville Howse, VC, KCMG, CB, KStJ, during the Boer War (1900). He also served in World War I and later as Commonwealth Minister for Health, Defence and Repatriation. Profiles on past recipients are available on the Australian War Memorial website.Victoria Cross for Australia The Victoria Cross for Australia was instituted in the Australian honours system by Letters Patent on 15 January 1991. It replaced the British or Imperial Victoria Cross. Corporal Mark Donaldson, VC, (then a Trooper) was awarded the first Victoria Cross for Australia. Corporal Benjamin Roberts-Smith, VC, MG, was the second recipient of the award. The third recipient of the Victoria Cross for Australia was Corporal Daniel Keighran, VC. The fourth Victoria Cross for Australia was posthumously awarded to Corporal Cameron Baird, VC, MG.
How it is awarded The Governor-General awards the Victoria Cross, with the approval of the Sovereign, on the recommendation of the Minister for Defence. The Victoria Cross may be awarded posthumously. The post-nominal entitlement for the Victoria Cross is VC. A subsequent award of the Victoria Cross to the same person is made as a bar to the Cross. They are also entitled to the post-nominal VC and Bar. Medal design The Victoria Cross is designed in the form of the Maltese Cross: in the centre of the medal is a lion guardant standing upon the Royal Crown. The words "For valour" are inscribed below. The Victoria Cross is suspended from a bar by a crimson ribbon. On the reverse of the cross the date of the act of bravery is inscribed, along with the name, rank, and unit of the recipient.

As it says on the tin - stunning seafront vila
I was very sceptical when we have booked this vila as I have had some previous sour experiences. But dear future visitors - fear no more! This is at it says on the tin - stunning seafront vila! To give you an idea - it would be like someone who has a meticulous attention to details and loves the property suddenly invites you into own house and then leaves you to enjoy it with your own family or friends! Then, when you finish admiring house and stunning views from every front room, and when you had enough of BBQ's in the garden, you can use a tour and food guide collated by owners, way better then my Greece tourist guide!
I could continue this forever, but all I'm going to say - go and experience for yourselves warm welcome, frendy owners, great villa, stunning views and fantastic food!
Enjoy! Saul, UK

Home Infusion provides specialized services for patients' intravenous therapy needs in the home or outpatient setting. Patients may be referred to the service directly or upon discharge from the hospital. A highly trained nurse clinician and pharmacist work closely with the referring physician to ensure appropriate, high quality care.
Each patient benefits from the individualized attention of a registered nurse clinician, who specializes in home infusion and works under the physician's direction. As the assigned care manager, this nurse oversees the patient's entire course of therapy. The care manager notes all treatment given to the patient and coordinates other in-home medical services as needed. Proper management ensures optimum care and treatment. Nurses provide 24-hour standby support as well as scheduled home/outpatient visits.
Home Infusion Pharmacy provides 24-hour support for home patients.

Can you get high off of mucinex and how many do you need to take
About medication Mucinex:
Mucinex is the brand name for the drug guaifenisen, an expectorant. This means it breaks down mucus (phlegm) in your airways, helping you cough it out, which relieves chest congestion.When taken orally, it works to thin mucus so it can be released easily from the respiratory tract. Mucinex is prepared to work shortly after the dose is given. It will help thin fluid in the lungs and shrink swollen nasal tissue to open airway passages so you breath freer. Be certain to take the proper dose as labeled and drink a full glass of water. Contact your doctor if symptoms do not improve or are worse after taking Mucinex.
What is the difference between mucinex d and mucinex dm?
Mucines DM is to be taken for coughs and chest congestion. Mucinex D is to be taken for sinus problems, sinus, chest, and nasal.
What is the maximum safe dosage of Mucinex DM you can take daily?
Mucinex is a medicine to loosen phlegm & thin bronchial secretions to rid the passageways of mucus and make coughs productive.2400 Milligrams is the maximum amount of Mucinex that should be taken daily; signs of overdose are restlessness and nervousness.

REPRESENTATIVE KEN HIRAKI – Representative Hiraki was unable to attend the meeting. A written report was received and made available to interested persons.

White thanked the City for the street and sidewalk work at Bethel and Pauahi Streets near the Hawaii Theatre. 3. Concern was raised that sending a Fire Department ladder truck to assist a resident in getting from a home into a car compromises public safety since the ladder truck is now not available to respond to an emergency such as a fire. Smyth noted that the fire department responds to such calls since it is more readily available than an ambulance and that the cost to the fire department is not that great. Au was thanked for his report. PUBLIC CONCERNS: None. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: HAWAII THEATRE MARQUEE – Burton White, Hawaii Theatre manager, thanked the Board for its previous support of a variance for the marquee. That variance was granted, and the theatre is seeking Board support for changes to the special provisions for the marquee. Presently the electronic marquee can only be changed once every 24-hours. The theatre is seeking to be able to change the marquee more frequently, noting the NBC (Neal Blaisdell Center's) electronic marquee (at Ward Avenue and Kapiolani Boulevard) changes every 1.5 seconds. The theatre is seeking a less strict regulation, something comparable to NBC. Discussion followed. It was noted that NBC has just one marquee to announce events at its three venues. Mollring moved and Smyth seconded that the Board supports the Hawaii Theatre's request for a rate of change for its marquee no more frequently that 1.5 – 5 seconds. Discussion followed, and Eric Crispin, Director, Department of Planning and Permitting, explained that his office placed the restriction to try and retain the historic character of the building and character of the area. There is an appeal process that the Theatre can use. The motion carried unanimously. White was thanked for attending the meeting. FEDERAL RECOGNITION, PRESENTATION BY THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS (OHA) – Jose Villa, from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, distributed informational packets to the Board members and interested guests. Villa noted the packet contains a copy of the Federal 1993 Apology Bill signed into law in 1993, apologizing for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Villa reported that of the native peoples of the United States, Native Americans and Alaskans, some 550 tribes have been recognized by the U.S. Government. Native Hawaiians do not have, and want such recognition. Existing treaties and laws are in place for such recognition. DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 13 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 4, 2003 PAGE 5 The Akaka Bill would give Native Hawaiians self-determination, and OHA is working to facilitate the process, which would also protect Native Hawaiians' assets and assure that they are represented in the process. If the recognition status is achieved, it would be similar to what already exists for the other native peoples. However, lawsuits threaten the process, which if successful, would result in OHA and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands being declared unconstitutional, ceded lands and revenue from those lands would revert to the State government, social programs for Native Hawaiians would be adversely affected, etc. Questions, answers and comments followed: 1. There is a Native Hawaiian parade through Waikiki this Sunday, and a festival at Kapiolani Park, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. 2. The Akaka Bill is being stalled in Congress by senators from Arizona, Oklahoma, Alabana, and New Mexico. One reason may be about concerns about undocumented aliens getting public services. 3. OHA has organized a letter writing campaign to senators from all 50 states on the bill. 4. The bill would not allow gambling. 5. This is a non-cost bill to the federal government. There was no Board action on this matter. Villa was thanked for attending the meeting. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE ORDINANCE, CHINATOWN SPECIAL DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD EXPAND THE CHINATOWN SPECIAL DISTRICT IN THE EWA DIRECTION, REDUCING THE HEIGHT LIMIT IN THAT AREA FROM 150/200 FEET TO 80 FEET; REDUCE THE AALA PARK HEIGHT LIMIT TO ZERO; AND PERMIT ONE AND TWO FAMILY DWELLINGS IN THE HISTORIC CORE PRECINCT ABOVE THE GROUND FLOOR – Eric Crispin, Director, Department of Planning and Permitting, and staffers Patrick Seguirant and Joyce Shoji, addressed the Board. The proposed amendment to the Land Use Ordinance would: 1) expand the Chinatown Special District by 200 acres by extending the ewa boundary from Nuuanu Stream to Beretania, College Walk, Kaaahi Street, Awa Street, Nimitz Highway. 2) Reduce the 200 foot height limits of BMX zoned parcels to 80 feet, and of IMX zoned parcels from 150 to 80 feet. 3) Allow one and two family dwellings in loft spaces. 4) Reduce the height limit of Aala Park down to zero feet. The area's parcels are privately and State owned. The goal of the change is to protect the ewa entryway into Chinatown, preserving its view planes and allowing expansion of the Chinatown's area in an ewa direction. Tall buildings would remain in the background of the area. The area presently has developable lands that includes parking lots. Allowing one and two family dwellings in second floor and above loft spaces would make use of space that is presently under utilized. Development of such dwelling units would be eased due to the current exemption from parking requirements. Brining more people into the area would help the area's economy. This type of residential development has been successfully done in Denver, Colorado. Questions, answers and comments followed: 1. The Board, landowners, property managers, the State's Housing and Community Deveopment Corporation of Hawaii, all noted they did not receive notice of this plan prior to tonight's meeting and learned about it in today's Advertiser. Chair Matusow said she learned of the plan from a community member who attended a City presentation and thanked Barbara Moon and Joyce Shoji for getting information to Board members prior to tonight. She added that as of tonight she had still not received formal notification from the City. Crispin apologized for the failure to provide adequate notice. DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 13 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 4, 2003 PAGE 6 2. The City does not want to preclude development in this area. There are many possible development scenarios. 3. This plan would affect the State Housing and Development Corporation's elderly residential project at Iwilei Road and Kaaahi Street, housing project near the OR and L Building. A representative from HCDC said they had applied for a 201-G exemption more than a year ago and had not heard from the City. He said now knows why. He also said the City Council had endorsed the housing project, a developer had been selected, and the Neighborhood Board has supported the project. 4. The plan seeks to assure preservation of the area's character. 5. The height limit change for Aala Park would not affect existing structures, but is intended to keep the park as it is. 6. The State can request waivers from the height limits. Only certain State agencies can exempt themselves from the height limits. 7. The existing zoning will not change. IMX – light industrial, does not allow residential development. 8. The State Housing and Development Corporation's project would require a waiver from the height limit change. 9. The plan is not related to the Bus Rapid Transit plan. 10. Residential use of loft space has been proposed for years. Several guests supported this type of development. 11. The Chinatown Special District once had a 40 foot height limit, but changes were made that allowed development such as the Marin Tower. 12. There is a need to preserve the entryway into Chinatown from the koko head end. 13. The change would result in the loss of developable space. The floor area ratio could be changed to compensate. 14. The change is a taking of development rights of landowners. 15. The change would impact Downtown Affordables' 23-story, 251-unit project at 215 N. King Street. A representative said affordable housing cannot be built at 80 feet. 16. Architectural design is not specified in the proposed changes, but projects in the District go before a seven member review panel made up of architects, landscape architects, and a historic preservationist. 17. The current law allows for 200 foot building at Nimitz and Nuuanu, reducing the view plan from the harbor. 18. Several years ago the City proposed a change in the Development Plan which would have added a parking lot across from Aala Park to Aala Park. Both the Downtown and Kalihi-Palama Neighborhood Boards opposed the plan, which died. The plan also would have moved the Smith-Beretania Park to the expanded Aala Park site. 19. Few housing units will further hurt Chinatown businesses which have suffered from SARS and TheBus strike. Chinatown residents are keeping those businesses afloat. With an expanded district DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 13 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 4, 2003 PAGE 7 more retail space would be required and lower height limits will not provided a critical population mass. There is a limit as to how many tomatoes, cabbages, etc., neighbors can buy at a time. Mollring moved and Lam seconded that the Board supports the loft portion of the proposed amendment to the Land Use Ordinance. Discussion followed. The motion carried unanimously. Smyth moved and Mollring seconded that the Board not support the expansion at this time. Discussion followed. The motion carried, 6-2. Au and Brawley opposed. COUNCIL BILL NO. 55, RELATING TO NIGHT CLOSURE OF PARKS – Chair Matusow reported that this bill is similar to one proposed by Councilmember Okino last year, and that the Board opposed it. Discussion followed on the desirability for each community to determine for itself, whether or not their parks should be closed at night. Smyth moved and Mollring seconded that the Board oppose this bill. The motion carried unanimously. SHOULD THE BOARD PUBLISH A NEWSLETTER – Chair Matusow reported that the Neighborhood Commission Office has cut the Board's Publicity Budget for the newsletter, but that any shortfall can be made up from the Board's other budgets, including the Refreshment Budget. Discussion followed. Lam moved and Yuen seconded that the Board publish a newsletter. The motion carried unanimously. SHOULD THE BOARD CHANGE THE DATE OF THE NOVEMBER MEETING – Discussion followed on whether or not the Board should change the meeting date, based on members' previous notification to the Chair that they would not be able to attend the meeting and that this might affect the Board's ability to have a quorum present at the meeting. A poll of members indicated that there would be a quorum present at both the October and November meetings. The consensus was to keep the meeting dates as scheduled. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 7, 2003 REGULAR MEETING – The following correction was made: Page 3, under Hawaii Pacific University, it should read "…University – Mollring reported for …" Yuen moved and Bona seconded that the minutes be approved as corrected. The motion carried unanimously. COMMITTEE REPORTS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND ACTION: CHAIR'S REPORT – Chair Matusow reported the following: LIQUOR LICENSES - Notice has been received from the City Liquor Commission on an application by 1) Nakase International, dba Restaurant Benkei, to cater off their licenses premises at Pier 7, Hawaii Maritime Center, every Thursday through Tuesday, September 4 – December 30; 2) transfer of license from Dual Trading, Inc., to JNV, Inc.

Smyth noted that plans are to develop criteria to select sister cities. No Board members were interested in serving. DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 13 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 4, 2003 PAGE 8 TREASURER'S REPORT – Mollring reported for the month of July, the Operating Account balance is $1480.36, the Publicity Account balance is $1440.00, and the Refreshment Account balance is $120.00.

Plans are for the district to run between Victoria and River Streets, and be used for marketing purposes. CITY AFFAIRS – Board members reported the following: FT. STREET MALL - The open market is held on Tuesdays and Fridays, and while it seems to be a good event, it does adversely impact Chinatown merchants. It also provides a legal place for peddlers previously displaced from Chinatown by a new law. The Business Improvement District has indicated its support of a City Council bill to permit cafés on malls. The Board has also supported the bill. PELE STREET MINI PARK – The State Board of Land and Natural Resources has approved the transfer of the property from the State to the City. Federal approval is still needed.

THE DLC: Steam Machines, TITANFALL, PlayStation Now, and More
By Dan Casey on January 11, 2014
With so much incredible video gaming news pouring out of International CES this past week, there just wasn't any way we could pack all those juicy news bites into one episode of Nerdist News. Thankfully, The DLC is here to save the day. Join Jessica Chobot and me as we discuss China's newly relaxed console ban, the implications of Titanfall's 6 vs. 6 multiplayer cap, what to expect from Sony's PlayStation Now service, and just why the hell you would want to maybe buy a Steam Machine. Or just marvel at Jessica's N7 Mass Effect leggings. Or my simple gray cardigan from H&M. It's your call really. Just make sure that you watch The DLC.
What do you think? Chime in on today's stories in the comments below or tell Jessica and me on Twitter.
I do love those pants!
[…] By Dan Casey […]
i think the number one thing that makes the steam machine desirable is that it's just a console. For me, playing on a computer has never come close to the experience and immersion that i feel when playing on a console. And for most people i know a "Gaming computer" is an abstract and COSTLY thing. give me a console that will play the awesome catalog that steam has and ill be there with a fresh credit card.
Your pants are a Nurdist wet dream,.. Hubba Hubba Hubba
I know this article is focused on the steam machine but for Titanfall, people need to understand that despite it being 6v6, the teams could be up to 24v24 because of AI etc. People need to stop focusing on just the 6v6.
