EUGENE, Ore. — Lane County released its pre-audit report, which was prompted by the firing of former county administrator Liane Richardson. The Lane County Board of Commissioners requested the report after Richardson was fired to make sure they hadn't missed anything.
The report is a pre-audit, but it was actually done about the same time as the county's annual audit. It's just a deeper look into specific areas.
Moss Adams presented its findings to the finance and audit committee this afternoon. The report looks at specific transactions relating to time management reports, purchase card transactions and expense reports. Out of more than 1,700 employees, only 26 were found to not be in compliance with time management policies.
The only instance of fraud was with Richardson, who sold more time than she was allowed.
"I don't want to underplay this. We have some work to do and we can and will, but in the big picture of things we actually did pretty good," said interim county administrator Alicia Hays.
All in all, there were no major incidents, but the report did reveal the need for stronger accountability and maybe some organizational restructuring. It was also suggested the county hire someone to specifically oversee the financial side of things, which hasn't been done since the last person retired in January 1, 2013.

An increasing number of financial institutions now offer debit cards that can be used for transactions through both the Scheme (MasterCard or Visa) and EFTPOS systems.
If you have one of these cards, your decision about which button to press at the retailer's payment terminal determines which system your transaction goes through and what costs are paid behind the scenes. When your debit card is swiped, you generally have three options:
If you press Cheque or Savings, your transaction will be processed through the EFTPOS system after you enter your PIN. This means your bank will pay a flat fee — for example 5 cents — to the retailer's bank. However, if you press Credit, the transaction goes through the MasterCard or Visa scheme system. A MasterCard or Visa fee is paid by the retailer's bank. "Chargeback" protection may also apply — handy when a retailer or manufacturer goes out of business but still owes you a product or money. According to the Australian Merchants Payments Forum (AMPF), retailers prefer customers to press cheque or savings, as the costs for the retailer are lower (two or three of the largest retailers even receive a fee for EFTPOS transactions). "Banks, on the other hand, make more money when the Credit button is pressed," says Russell Zimmerman, AMPF Chair. David Bell, Chief Executive of the Australian Bankers' Association, points out that scheme debit card fees are regulated by the Reserve Bank. EFTPOS interchange fees are also regulated.

12 million people suffer from food allergies. They face the
possiblility of a reaction to common food items like peanuts, eggs, or
fish. This is true of those foods not just in their raw form but also
as additives or components to nearly every processed snack found in
school lunch boxes around America.
So, with these dangers everywhere, how do childrens with food allergies
cope? And how should parents and schools react? Is it going too far to
create "peanut free zones?" And, does it seem like these allergies are
more common than ever before?
Today, a conversation about food allergies with Pediatrician Dr. James
Rosen. We'll answer your questions and meet a seventh grader whose life
is affected by allergies.

Everyone on staff has seen Mrs. Horsky's pictures. Here is her only son, a toddler on a tricycle. "You will never meet him," she says. "He was killed by the Nazis." Here is her first husband, who lived with her for only fifteen months. "They killed him right away." Here is her uncle, aunt, and niece. "All killed in Auschwitz." And here is Juci in happier days, a salesgirl in a jewelry store. Here is Juci's second husband, dead after fifteen years of marriage. "He brought me to Canada." And then number three, who lived with her for 30 years.
"I have lost three beautiful husbands."
For Mrs. Horsky, who has no living relatives, the Lido Spa is the only family she has left. At 84, she doesn't get around as well as she used to; for the past nine and a half years, shower room attendant Elizabeth Montes has bathed her every morning before her massage. "For me it's not really a job, it's fun," Elizabeth smiles. "With Mrs. Horsky, we even have a joke. Every day she says, 'Are you going to wash my boobies now?'"

Terry Ross is broiges. She's pissed. Usually the February in-house talent show is one of the biggest nights of the season, but not this year. Some of the regular singers among the guests have passed away. Well, you can't blame them for that. But others who are alive and in relatively good health just don't want to do it this year. Terry already knows what she will say when she scolds the audience: Maybe you're all just getting too old.
That's what she's taken to saying these days whenever any of the guests threatens to spoil the fun. Like Nettie looking down her nose at a joke Terry told in the water aerobics class last Wednesday. What was it? Oh. Why is a man so much smarter when he's having sex? Because he's plugged into a genius. "Whatsa matter? Are you so old you can't laugh at a joke?"
As the social director, you gotta be tough, especially with this crowd. "If you don't let them know who's the boss," she says, "you lose control completely."
In Yiddish, Terry Ross is a tumler, a scrappy entertainer hired once upon a time by the hotels in the Catskill Mountains to teach guests how to have fun. From the end of WWII through the 1970s, the New York State vacationland once known as the Jewish Alps filled up with hardworking immigrants, eager to stay Jewish while becoming American. "Leisure vacations were something that only the wealthy took in Europe," says Vassar historian Donna Dash Moore, currently visiting faculty at Florida International University. "Taking a vacation was considered very American."
The Catskills summers ran into Miami Beach winters. Hotel owners, guests, and the migrant workers known as mountain rats packed up and moved along with the season, carrying with them what Brown University sociologist and former mountain rat Phil Brown calls Catskills culture. Because the immigrants didn't know exactly what they were supposed to do on vacation, the hotels employed tumlers to teach card games, give dance lessons, take guests on nature hikes. At night they put on variety shows.
Catskills culture not only made Jews more American; the nightly shows actually changed the face of popular American entertainment. Known as the Borscht Belt, the hotel circuit gave a start to some of the most influential performers of the Twentieth Century: Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Eddie Fisher, Shelley Winters, Jerry Lewis, Buddy Hackett, Henny Youngman, Jackie Mason, and Joan Rivers.
As the first social hostess at the Lido Spa, the Edelsteins hired Bea Kalmus, a singer and popular New York radio personality. A star's life can get crazy, though, so after a few years the hotel and the diva parted ways. Sometime around 1967, Terry Ross heard through the grapevine that the spa was looking for a replacement.
But by the late 1960s business on the Beach was failing. Terry needed a winter job. So she marched into Mr. Edelstein's office and recited her résumé. "I don't just stand there onstage" -- like Bea Kalmus, she meant -- "I teach handicrafts. I do nature walks. I sing. I'm an entertainment director."
Terry Ross was hired as a tumler and she's kept everybody at the Lido Spa busy for the 35 years since, even as the old Jewish hotels in the Catskills and on Miami Beach shut down or sold out. For practically every hotel that went under in South Florida, a condo colony went up. The old Catskill comics and sing-ers (say it with a hard 'g') found work on the condo circuit, hired for a gig here and there by this or that social committee. But the days of the tumler are over. Alav ha-shalom, Terry says whenever she mentions the name of one of the dearly departed colleagues, rest in peace.
"We're a lost race," she says. "I'm a survivor."
That's why everybody feels so bad about disappointing Terry with the talent show this year. That new girl from New York, Mimi Goldfinger -- bless her heart, she can hardly stay on her own two feet -- has volunteered to tell a few jokes. And Norma Pearl from Montreal, with her sweet apple doll face, has offered to sing "Shine On, Harvest Moon," if nobody minds that her voice is a bit shaky these days. That's a start.

Chris Brown And Rihanna Party Together In Los Angeles
Chris Brown forced partygoers at Rihanna's 24th Birthday party to sign confidentiality agreements to stop them revealing that he was there.
The rapper may claim not to care what people think, but clearly he is still wary of his public image. He allegedly refused to enter the private party on Monday night until guests agreed to keep his appearance a secret.
According to TMZ the 22 year-old eventually entered the party which was jam packed with celebrities including Rihanna's BFF Katy Perry and Bruno Mars, despite not getting all the signatures.
We are not surprised that Chris didn't want people to know about his night with former flame Rihanna, especially his current girlfriend. The 'Run It' star reportedly spent the whole night getting hot and heavy with the 'Rude Boy' singer.
A source revealed: "Chris eventually walked in and spent a huge chunk of the night nuzzling up against Rihanna."
"The two got real intimate, sitting next to each other, talking, and holding hands."
While Rihanna has clearly forgiven him for assaulting her three years ago it seems the public will take longer to convince.
The 'Champion' star took to his twitter following public outrage that he was not only allowed to perform at this year's Grammy Awards but also won best R&B Album as well.
He tweeted: " HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That's the ultimate F**K OFF!"

I played a couple games where Yasuo ate mid lane and carried the game hard. My team was helpless after 9 kills. Our mid laner wasn't the greatest obviously, but I couldn't offer suggestions. I wonder if that's the big issue with Yasuo right now is that people know how to play him but nobody really knows how to play against him? So how do you deal with a Yasuo? - Poke him out of lane? This is harder for ranged due to his wind wall if he's good with it. - Get in his face. I wonder how he'd fair against a Fiora. I suppose he could constantly dash away, but at least he'd lose the trade unless he was capable with his CC. Maybe a Riven could hurt him? - Vi, in his face, tanky and high damage, ult goes through his wind wall, offers CC? - Zyra mid. Plants...plants everywhere.. Eh? eh? Plant + root + run away combo could be effective? - Kennen, Teemo, Mundo, or Vlad? What do you guys think of them doing well against a Yasuo? - Also, general play, if I was only good at Ahri mid, how would I handle a Yasuo?
Also - just thought of this. Master Yi vs Yasuo mid lane. I wonder how that would play out..
I am wondering the same thing. Relatively new...but the best i could do vs yasuo mid with ahri was to just hold my tower and cs from there. I had no push at all alone.
Honestly since he's so new there are few counters I can think of. You must remember that you should activate his shield with a basic attack before using an ability so he doesn't negate the damage with his shield. Also he is weakest after he uses his third Q(whirlwind) so try and engage him after that point. Champs that I think personally counter him are Riven, Akali and Soraka(Yes Soraka). Riven has enough mobility and her own shield to rip him apart. You can also bully him and dodge his Q's to deny him cs. Soraka is a menace to society in mid vs yasuo, he can't block your starcall, he can't touch the minions without getting hit by starcall, he wants to dash to you? Oh well you have silence, you can heal, the longer he stays close to you the more damage he's taking. The main thing you have to watch for here are jungle ganks, but soraka robs him of life in mid lane. I also forgot about Kayle, Windwall doesn't block her E and she's a total lane bully. He can't get close to you unless he dashes but then he's dead.
Omicron Austin
Out of personal experience, I feel like Kennen, Rumble, Vladimir, and Riven have the tools to deal with Yasuo very well. That's primarily top lane, however. Mid lane, I feel that Gragas, Annie (I'm really unsure about this one), and maybe Zed (he's the only one where I haven't had the opportunity to test the matchup). If I had to guess, I think that Yasuo would absolutely destroy Yi.
Yasuo has lots of shields and can stop abilities with his wind wall. He's tough to harass as a result. If you really want to force him out of lane you're going to have to auto attack him a LOT. Yasuo has a shield that activates at maximum flow (his resource mechanic). He generates flow by moving and casting wind walls. A good Yasuo will not move forward to harass you unless his shield is up, as it is a very powerful shield and will likely absorb all the damage you dish out at lower levels. The key to beating yasuo is through consistent pokes, rather than big bursts over long periods of time. You want to poke him when his shield is down. If you think his shield is up, try an auto attack to proc it. If you think the shield is down, try to hit him with a bigger attack.
Sara Leah
got stuck solo top as Soraka vs Yasu and won the lane with her. I held that tower for 18 minutes 24 seconds and had their tower 3/4 dead before the rest of the players realized we were not leaving lane till one of us won a tower, since he never left lane I stayed as well, and we had a fun game. so ya ill bet on Soraka vs Yasu
Anduriels Shadow
Junior Member
I played mundo top vs yasuo and won the lane handily. I don't play mid enough to have a suggestion on how to counter him there however.
Kayle Destroys Yasuo. That is all. Also, Riven can kick is booty pretty well too if you're mechanically skilled enough to play her in the mid lane.

The Biderman Market Theory says that in all markets there is the house and then there are the players. I have talked a lot about the house in the stock market casino on many of these videos, particularly that the house, the public companies, have an advantage over the players.
I rarely talk about the players and perhaps I should. The key question should be: What separates the few that are long term successful from the majority who regularly lose?
My answer is that there are two types of players. Goldman Sachs legendary Gus Levy created the term "long-term greedy." Greed is defined as wanting more than you have. Nothing wrong with greed. It is neither good nor bad. There are those short term greedy and long-term greedy. Most take is that most players are short-term greedy. Short-term greedy types are solely interested in making as much money as possible right now and are likely willing to cut corners. Their mantra is, I want what I want, now!
Short-term greedy people almost always lose much more than they win, certainly over the longer term.
Long-term greedy means being a professional which includes doing your homework, keeping your word, cleaning up messes, honoring relationships with clients and employees. In other words doing the right thing for no reason all the time.
Over the years about one-third of the world's largest hedge funds are or have been clients of mine. Of the top guys whom I know personally, I would say almost all are Long-Term Greedy.
The difference between short-term greedy and long-term greedy types undoubtedly was evidenced in the Who this book is for If you are a Big data recovery enthusiast, a Hadoop programmer, or a developer working in the BI domain who is aware of Hadoop or the Pentaho tools and want to try out creating a solution in the Big data recovery space, this is the book for you. Feb 29 plunge in gold and silver prices. Gold and silver prices dropped sharply that day after Fed Chairman Bernanke did not say anything about additional quantitative easing in Congressional hearings.
The rumor is that some large bullion banks used the Bernanke non-QE mention as a cover to try and create a gold and silver bear market. Why would the big bullion holders want prices to drop? If indeed the drop was due to manipulation the obvious reason would be so the bullion banks would be able to buy gold at lower prices.
Meanwhile, in the face of a big down move in price, as what usually happens many short-term greedy types got scared and sold. On the other hand, most long-term greedy investors looked, listened and probably did nothing.
Whether or not the February leap day selloff was due to manipulation, the reasons to own gold and silver remain in tact. The US economy is still spending $100 billion a month more than it makes and all of Europe is also spending more than it takes in. Therefore, even without any announced QE both Gold (GLD) and Silver (SLV) are likely to go up faster than US and European equities. Long term greedy investors know that markets are volatile and can make wild swings and therefore invest appropriately.

Emergency Contraception
Topic Overview
What is emergency contraception?
Emergency contraception is a way to prevent pregnancy if:
- You had sex without using birth control.
- Your birth control method failed. Maybe you forgot to take your pill or get your shot, the condom broke or came off, or your diaphragm slipped.
- You were raped. Even if you were using birth control, emergency contraception can help decrease your chance of getting pregnant.
If you had sex without birth control, there is a chance that you could get pregnant. This is true even if you have not started having periods yet or you are getting close to menopause. You could also get pregnant if you used a birth control method that is not very reliable or if you didn't use it the right way.
Using emergency contraception right away can prevent an unwanted pregnancy and keep you from worrying while you wait for your next period to start.
What are the types of emergency contraception?
There are two types of emergency contraception: pills and the copper T intrauterine device (IUD). Most women choose pills because they work well, don't cost a lot, and are usually easy to get. The IUD works very well, but it costs a lot and has to be inserted by a doctor.
Pills : Pills used for emergency contraception are sometimes called "morning-after pills." They can be used at any time up to 5 days after unprotected sex, but the sooner, the better. They contain hormones—either progestin only or a combination of estrogen and progestin.
- Levonorgestrel, such as Plan B or Next Choice, is a progestin-only pill that is packaged specially for use as emergency contraception. The cost of a single-use package is about $25 to $40.
- Some birth control pills are also used. If you already take birth control pills, you may be able to use the pills you have as emergency contraception. Talk to your doctor or check the Web sites listed below for the correct doses.
IUD : The copper T IUD is a small, T-shaped plastic device that is inserted into your uterus. The IUD is wrapped in copper, which helps kill sperm. It can be placed up to 5 to 7 days after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. (Note: The Mirena IUD is not used for emergency contraception.)
- Copper T IUDs work very well but are usually expensive—around $400 to $500.
- On the plus side, after a copper T IUD is in place, it keeps working for up to 10 years.
An IUD is not a good idea if you have a pelvic infection or sexually transmitted disease (STD). It could spread the infection and cause pelvic inflammatory disease, a serious health problem that can affect your ability to have children.
How does it work?
Emergency contraception pills work by preventing ovulation, fertilization, or implantation.
Emergency contraception hormones may prevent fertilization by stopping the ovary from releasing an egg (ovum). They also make the fallopian tubes less likely to move an egg toward the uterus. Emergency contraception is also thought to thin the lining of the uterus, or endometrium. The thickened endometrium is where a fertilized egg would normally implant and grow.
Where can you get emergency contraception?
Emergency Contraception. You can buy emergency contraception, such as Plan B or Next Choice, in most drugstores.
- If you are 17 or older, you can get emergency contraception from a pharmacist, without a prescription. Bring proof of your age.
- If you are younger than 17, you can get emergency contraception with a prescription from a doctor.
Birth control pills. If you already have birth control pills on hand, you may be able to use them for emergency birth control. To find out which brands of pills work and how to take them, go to:
- The Planned Parenthood Web site at http://plannedparenthood.org.
- The Emergency Contraception Web site at http://ec.princeton.edu.
Some pharmacists will not sell emergency contraception or fill prescriptions for birth control pills. If this happens to you, ask for the location of a pharmacist who will, or go to:
- The Emergency Contraception Web site at http://ec.princeton.edu, or call 1-888-NOT-2-LATE.
- The Planned Parenthood clinic nearest you, or call 1-800-230-PLAN (1-800-230-7526).
IUD. You can get an IUD from many doctors, from college and public health clinics, or in most hospital emergency rooms. An IUD has to be inserted by a doctor or other health professional.
How do you use it?
For the emergency contraception option that contains 2 pills, you can take both pills at the same time. Or you can take 1 pill right away and the second pill 12 hours later.
There is also a one-pill emergency contraception option that lets you take the dose you need in just 1 pill.
For most regular birth control pills, you take one dose of 2 to 5 pills as soon as you can. Then you take a second dose 12 hours later. The dose depends on the type of pill.
You can take emergency contraception up to 5 days after unprotected sex. But it works best if you take it right away or within 48 hours.
If you use birth control pills for emergency contraception, keep the following in mind:
- Birth control pills can cause nausea. Take an antinausea medicine such as Dramamine with the first dose and again 1 hour before the second dose.
- If you vomit within 2 hours of taking the pills, call your doctor for advice. You may need to repeat the dose.
- Be sure you take the active hormone pills. In a 28-day pack, the first 21 pills contain hormones. The last 7 pills (the ones you take during your period) do not contain any hormones. If you use 21-day packs, all of the pills contain hormones.
A doctor or other health professional has to insert an IUD.
How well does it work?
Emergency contraception works very well. The sooner you use it, the more likely it is to prevent pregnancy. Overall:1
- Plan B is very effective. Only about 1 woman out of 100 who uses it will get pregnant, if taken within 48 hours.
- Birth control pills are around 97% to 98% effective. Only about 2 or 3 women out of 100 who use them as emergency contraception will get pregnant.
- The copper T IUD is more than 99% effective. Only about 1 woman out of 1,000 who use it will get pregnant.
If you haven't started your period within 3 weeks after using emergency contraception, get a pregnancy test.
Does it cause side effects?
Emergency contraception may cause some side effects.
- Levonorgestrel may cause spotting or mild symptoms like those of birth control pills. It usually doesn't cause nausea.
- Birth control pills can cause nausea or vomiting. In some women, they can also cause sore breasts, fatigue, headache, belly pain, or dizziness.
- An IUD may cause cramping and bleeding during the first few days after insertion.
Call your doctor if you have a headache, dizziness, or belly pain that is severe or that lasts longer than 1 week.
If you are already pregnant, pills won't harm the fetus. An IUD could cause problems with the pregnancy.
What else should you think about?
- Emergency contraception pills won't protect you for the rest of your cycle. Use your regular method of birth control, or use condoms.
- Unless you get an IUD, emergency contraception does not take the place of regular birth control. Find a good method of birth control you can use every time you have sex.
- Emergency contraception does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases. If you are worried you might have been exposed to a disease, talk to your doctor.
- Accidents can happen. It is a good idea to keep a set of the pills on hand in case you ever need it.

Welcome to West Texas is the latest installment in the saga of Alan Munde and Joe Carr -- the Pickin' Professors from South Plains College in Levelland, Texas. Munde has been a stalwart of the bluegrass banjo world from his days with bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin through his 20+ years as a founding member of the influential Country Gazette. Carr brought his unique guitar, mandolin and vocal talents to the Gazette during the late 1970s, a period that produced two Gazette albums and several of Alan's classic instrumental banjo albums. This album presents Alan and Joe at their eclectic best: traditional and ground breaking, familiar and surprising, serious and funny. The road Joe and Al take us down is not on any map, but it is a delightful musical adventure.

A Classical Revolution brings chamber music to the masses
A grassroots movement is turning cafes, clothing boutiques and street art festivals into lowbrow chamber music venues. Called a Classical Revolution, this group of volunteer musicians meet and sight-read pieces together all in an effort to provide more exposure of classical music and gain younger listeners and fans.
East Sacramento resident Skye Bergen organizes the seven-month-old chapter. While the group performs mainly in midtown, the musicians hail from all over Sacramento. Many are professional musicians with advanced degrees, and some are currently college students. Many play in multiple bands, ensembles, and orchestras.
They are also the hardest working musicians Bergen has ever met.
With works by Bach to Phillip Glass to Popper to Björk, to local composers, Bergen said she believes the experts should be allowed to play what they know.
"All the musicians in the group are the experts and therefore they should have control over what they want to perform," she said. For every show, Bergen asks for a volunteer to be a lead musician.
One of the musicians in Classical Revolution, Holly Harrison (also a member of Be Brave Bold Robot), is a general music teacher at Theodore Judah and is starting an orchestra of her own this year. Her program is funded entirely by the PTA: they get no support from the district (other than the use of the music library) or any other outside organization. Many of the students cannot afford to rent instruments so Holly has managed to get some instruments from the school district- but none of them have bows.
So, Bows and Arrows, located at 19th and S St. in midtown, put on a fundraiser on Nov. 27 called "Bows for Bows" to support Theodore Judah elementary school's music program, since the school's budding instrumentalists are desperately in need of funds for bows to go with their district instruments and for other supplies such as music books, music stands, rosin, shoulder rests, and all of the other accessories needed to keep a string orchestra going.
Several local musicians and bands featuring string players volunteered their time to play in the benefit: Be Brave Bold Robot (folk rock), The Sweet By and By (bluegrass), and, of course, musicians from Classical Revolution. Student musicians were also featured.
Founded six years ago at Revolution Café in the Mission District of San Francisco, Classical Revolution presented more than 700 chamber music events in more than 90 Bay Area venues with the goal of bringing live chamber music to neighborhoods. The Classical Revolution model has spread around the world, with nearly 30 active chapters around the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Sacramento is one of the most recent chapters to be established.
Named after the Revolution Café, the founder began putting on chamber jams there. Bergen said a chamber jam is where a bunch of musicians show up and sight-read pieces together. She said that really caught on and thus the name was born.
Locally, Bergen said audience response has been very good, the shows are often standing room only. In fact, she said the turnout at Bows and Arrows was so large that they invited the group back for a monthly gig.
"It's actually a perfect space- beer and wine, great food, coffee, great space, great art, great people, great location. We couldn't have asked for a better monthly home," she said.
The musicians have also performed at Shady Coffee & Tea in Roseville, Insight Coffee, and Luna's Café.
"We are steadily building a following, which is outstanding. I do worry though that the musicians aren't getting compensated enough for it. They know it's volunteer, but we really need more people coming out to support the musicians and to show that support with their wallets," she said.
While Bergen acknowledges the point is basically outreach and exposure she also wishes they could get a little more out of it — at least enough for the gas that they used to get to the venue.
"They have dedicated their lives to a beautiful art form, and while Classical Revolution is helping to gain an audience that respects them, they deserve to be compensated for their efforts. I want this to happen because I would like to see this continue," she said.
There are many musicians in the group and all are volunteers.
Here are a few of the ones who play the most often:
Tim Stanly – cello
Cathie Apple- flute
Jennifer Reason- piano
Jia-mo Chen- cello
George Hayes- violin
Rei Luu- violin
Casey Lipka- upright bass
Kim Davis- flute
Coco Cocozella- violin
Alex Winter- cello
Liz Barton- French horn
Holly Harrison- violin
Sondro Ladu- violin

As she answers site visitors' questions, she gives examples of how she was able to prove this spiritual fact at different times in her life.
Among the topics covered: how to feel God's love, being single but wanting to be married, loneliness at church, how to overcome grief when friends pass away, dealing with shyness, feeling neglected by one's grown-up children, learning to accept love from others, helping someone who seems very isolated and alone, how to take a stand for our connection with divine Love; ways to comfort those who are alone during the holiday season.

This past weekend HAVEN Vancouver played host to the first Arc'teryx Veilance Trunkshow. Guests were given the opportunity to get a first hand look at the FW15 collection. Below is a small re-cap of the event that went down.
As you may know we shut down the doors to our old Blood Alley location at 7 Gaoler's Mews this past August. Our lease ran up and we decided to say goodbye as we simply outgrew the space. Since then we've been working our asses off trying to get the new store up and going. We've had some major delays due to unforeseen circumstances, but it's getting there….here's a glimpse of what's to come for the new much larger and much improved HAVEN Vancouver – Gastown. Designed and built by yours truly…
The space will occupy 2500 square feet in a recently renovated historical building in Gastown. I'll disclose the location soon enough but no worries for our hardcore loyal customers, we're still off the beaten path and I'm sure you'll all be stoked…
We always tend to lean toward historical buildings for their existing characteristics. As with all of our other locations we'll be keeping the exposed brick as is…
One of the major delays was that we recently had a Sprinkler blow on us… the floor that was initially layed is going to be completely replaced…
Custom racks hung from 14 ft ceilings is no easy task…
White Oak!
Hidden doors….
That's all for now, stay tuned as we plan to open in the New Year… We can't wait to unveil the new HAVEN Vancouver. But until then make sure to check out our temporary pop up location located at 157 Water Street in Gastown.
- Arthur
The new and improved HAVEN Vancouver is being built out as we speak and should be complete in a few months time. The closing of our Blood Alley Gastown location was tough as we had countless fond memories. But don't sweat it! In the meantime in this transitionary period please visit us at our temporary Pop Up location at 157 Water Street – Basement Unit. We're just a block down the road from the old location, so come by and say hi. Here's a few photos of the Pop Up Shop…

SANTA MARIA - The Santa Maria School District is a campus of about 800 students located in Cameron county near the Cameron-Hidalgo county line. Monday the police department received this 2002 seized Chevy SUV from from the Cameron county sheriff department and District Attorney's office.
"In these times to buy any kind of vehicles it's important they have a vehicle to patrol and the building themselves."
You will now see Chief Daniel Cruz and his two officers cruising around the campus in the police unit. Four months ago the school district didn't even have a department.
In the past the school district relied on the constables and the sheriff department. The school board decided to start up the campus police to have someone on location fulltime for the safety of the kids.
"Protecting lives is our main goal and now this is going to be easier with our patrol car we are going to continue building up and get the equipment we need."
Chief Cruz says one of the department's biggest safety concerns is having the school district located so close the border, which is not even a one mile away.
"We are very close to the river I can't stress enough sheriff's office constables are ready to assist us but the response time is one of the factors we think about."
Chief Cruz says he looks forward to his department growing and continuing to protect the children of Santa Maria school district.

AM/PM Vitamin/Pill Case
Very Nice
Very well made. Stores lots of pills and takes up little space in the suit case. Good way to keep track of pills and love the plastic case that holds the pills. This is my second purchase of this product.
February 4, 2015
Great for Travel
This pill case is perfect for travel. It is sturdy, yet lightweight. It also folds up nicely so that it does not take up much room in the suitcase or tote. Holds 16 days worth of medication. Individual plastic pouches are clear for ease in seeing meds and have a zip closure for safety. I used this in Greece and Turkey recently and it made things so much easier than carrying bottles of medications. Highly recommend.
January 29, 2015
Holds a lot
I travel with a lot of vitamins and this seems to do the trick. I just received it, so I cannot say how long it will hold up. The only thing I am not real crazy about is the plastic that holds the pills. Wish it were made of something more natural.
January 24, 2015
Great purchase
I highly recommend this for a compact container for several days of pills. Like it so well I ordered another one for myself.
January 22, 2015
Reorders once again
Both the 8 pouch and the 16 pouch pill cases are fine buys. The plastic holders for the pills do wear out over time so if you like this convenient method of traveling with pills consider ordering some spare holders. I use the 8 pack for short one-week or less trips and the 16 pack for longer trips. I carry a list to tell me which pouch number has which type of pill stored and when to take it. This has worked for me for several years.
December 20, 2014
Compact Easy to Pack
Much easier to pack your medications in, soft sided yet protects the contents. Won't "pop" open like a lot of containers would.
October 21, 2014
Enelopes are only questionable quality element
We have used these for travel for many years. The only down side is that the envelopes split down the side and often the closure slides off the end and is very hard to reattach. When replacement envelopes are ordered, they are not numbered which eliminates one of the main attractions to this product.
September 19, 2014
Not worth the money
Compared to the simple pill container, I found this pill case to be bulky, tedious to fill and inconvenient to carry around. Stick to the old tried and true solutions for a quarter of the price.

In yeast and other eukaryotes, the histone methyltransferase Set1 mediates methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me). This modification marks the 5' end of transcribed genes in a 5'-to-3' tri- to di- to monomethyl gradient and promotes association of chromatin-remodeling and histone-modifying enzymes. Here we show that Ctk1, the serine 2 C-terminal domain (CTD) kinase for RNA polymerase II (RNAP II), regulates H3K4 methylation. We found that CTK1 deletion nearly abolished H3K4 monomethylation yet caused a significant increase in H3K4 di- and trimethylation. Both in individual genes and genome-wide, loss of CTK1 disrupted the H3K4 methylation patterns normally observed. H3K4me2 and H3K4me3 spread 3' into the bodies of genes, while H3K4 monomethylation was diminished. These effects were dependent on the catalytic activity of Ctk1 but are independent of Set2-mediated H3K36 methylation. Furthermore, these effects are not due to spurious transcription initiation in the bodies of genes, to changes in RNAP II occupancy, to changes in serine 5 CTD phosphorylation patterns, or to "transcriptional stress." These data show that Ctk1 acts to restrict the spread of H3K4 methylation through a mechanism that is independent of a general transcription defect. The evidence presented suggests that Ctk1 controls the maintenance of suppressive chromatin in the coding regions of genes by both promoting H3K36 methylation, which leads to histone deacetylation, and preventing the 3' spread of H3K4 trimethylation, a mark associated with transcriptional initiation.

State GOP Responds to Obamacare Supreme Court Ruling
"Stopping Obamacare is now up to the American people" – Chairman Webb
Little Rock, Ark. - Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA) Chairman Doyle Webb released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court's decision on Obamacare:
"Stopping Obamacare is now up to the American people. The only way to save the country from Obamacare's government takeover of health care is to elect a new president in November who will fully repeal the law," said RPA Chairman Doyle Webb.
"Obamacare raises health care costs and makes it harder for businesses to create jobs and put the over 100,000 Arkansans back to work. A one-size fits all big government policy creates more problems than it solves . Americans deserve commonsense, step-by-step reforms based on the free market and not dictated by government bureaucrats.
"It's clear that without a change of leadership, Arkansans will continue to suffer. On Election Day, we must elect Gov. Mitt Romney and send Arkansas Republicans to Congress who will put America on the path toward a brighter economic future and successful health care reform."
