A medical coder's job is to bill insurance companies and track the submitted claims. Medical coders are responsible for reviewing the medical records of patients and then assigning codes to their diagnoses and procedures so that the relevant insurance company, other third-party payers, or the patient can be billed for those claims. A hospital coder is a medical coder specific to a hospital, as opposed to a doctor's office or other medical facility.
Read More...Survey takers who work as Hospital Coders typically report just a few professional skills. Most notably, facility with Surgical coding and Medical Coding are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 37 percent and 3 percent, respectively.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Hospital Coders, level of experience appears to be a somewhat less important part of the salary calculation — more experience does not correlate to noticeably higher pay. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience have a median salary of $37K. Those who have been around for five to 10 years can expect to take home more — $42K on average. Hospital Coders who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $51K. Hospital Coders with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $52K.

Did you know that an otter can roam for up to 40 km each night?
It can make tracking them quite a challenge, but fortunately for us they leave a tell tale smell...in the form of spraints.
If you live in NE Wales, there's an otter awareness course happening tomorrow near Wrexham between 10am and 2pm.

BJ'S BLOG 07/18/12 "Marrying into Baggage"
by BJ Shea
posted Jul 18 2012 8:52AM
Yesterday during Group Therapy, we read an email from a Rock-A-Holic named Shawna who is having a problem involving her honeymoon.
Her fiancé has a daughter and a very flakey ex wife who only wants to take the kid when it's convenient for her. The ex wife has told Shawna and her fiancé that she doesn't want to take the child for two weeks so Shawna's fiancé says he want to take his daughter with them on her honeymoon.
Shawna loves her future step daughter but doesn't want to take her on her honey moon and isn't sure how to tell her fiancé.
First off, the ex-wife sounds like a #BLD (bitches love drama). She is using her child to try to ruin someone else's honeymoon, a time of romance and happiness because it sounds like she wants to make her ex and Shawna miserable.
We as men have been told from a young age how to treat women so it's a little disheartening to see how women treat their "sisters."
Second of all, Shawna, you are marrying a man who already has kids, what are you expecting?
I know this sounds harsh but Shawna's fiancé brings a lot of baggage to the relationship so it's hard for me to understand why Shawna is with him unless she also has baggage.
When you date someone with the baggage of a spiteful ex wife and children, you have to expect that these kinds of things will happen.

Painting the Town Black with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
By: Marc Spitz"I'll have a Jack Daniel's--as strong as you canmake it," says Peter Hayes of the psychedelic garage-gothband Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It's a humid July day inNew York City and singer/guitarist Hayes and bassist Robert Turnerof the San Francisco trio are clad in head-to-toe black denim. AmidWall Street traders and indie-film execs in a posh downtownrestaurant, they look bleary-eyed and out of their element. Whenthe nervous waitress brings Hayes a water glass filled withwhiskey, he can barely lift his head to thank her, but she hasalready fled.
Perhaps their high-piled dirty hair rattled her, but more likely, it's the vibe of utter contempt they radiate in every direction: at the tape recorder, at the dinner rolls, at the art on the walls. Doing interviews is so establishment, and they are, after all, black rebels. Drummer Nick Jago is so rebellious he doesn't even show up.
"This band is changing," Turner announces, when asked about Black Rebel's confrontational second album, Take Them On, On Your Own. "When we first started, we thought we could drift out into the dark more," he says, "but there's less time to make a point. People's attentions are getting shorter every fucking minute!" His gaze shifts abruptly from me to the CD's booklet. "Shit like this is important," he says, studying the grainy, black-and-white band shots. Clearly, any questions, like our dinner, will have to wait. Hayes staggers outside for a smoke. I follow with my tape recorder.
Me: "You guys wear a lot of black."
Hayes: "Really?"
Black Rebel have earned the right to conduct themselves like triple-whiskey-drinking rock stars. The brooding melodies and aloof stance they affected on their debut, B.R.M.C., drew comparisons to shoegazer legends the Jesus and Mary Chain. "Whatever Happened to My Rock 'N' Roll (Punk Song)" became a minor hit on MTV2. Take Them On is full of similarly scuzzed-up classic pop, but this time the songs attack our devious government and call to action a generation of American youth in search of an identity.
Sprawled on a stoop like a homeless vampire, Hayes suddenly becomes animated as he tells me that the government hides surveillance cameras in fire alarms. I ask if he's serious. "There's one in every building," he whispers. "And they make you feel safe. Think about it." I think about it. When we return to the restaurant, Turner is slumped over in the booth, snoring. The check is on the table. No one had requested it.
Twenty-four hours later, we meet again at Shout!--the mod-soul club night where Black Rebel played some of their earliest shows. Hayes and Turner are still wearing the same clothes but must have gotten some sleep, because they're thrashing through new songs like "Six Barrel Shotgun" and "Stop" with a no-tomorrow urgency. In front of 200 sweaty loyalists, Black Rebel deliver their conspiracy theories the way they should: couched in brilliant rock'n'roll. There indeed may be a camera hidden in the club's fire alarm, but if only for an hour, it feels like the kids are in control.

Top Reasons To Choose This
Ride a powerful 250 cc quad bike through 100 acres of challenging countryside incorporating slopes mud grassland and picturesque woodland.
The hour-long trek starts with a training session to ensure participants know how to ride and control a quad bike. An undulating countryside stage allows the instructor to judge the trekkers skill level before proceeding to a suitably challenging route through 50 acres of dense wooded hillside mud water and rough terrain.
All trekkers must be 16 years old or over as the quad bikes we use are designed for adults.
The quads are steered using a handlebar (the same as a push bike) accelerated using a thumb throttle and braked using a finger operated lever (the same as a push bike) and/or a foot pedal. Every participant must be able to confidently steer brake and accelerate using these controls so moderate strength is required. Body weight must also be transferred around the bike to safely ride up and across sloped ground. -

A team from Norway's Center for Integrated Petroleum Research is deploying unmanned aerial vehicles in its search for oil reserves. The helicopter-style drones will be loaded with an array of sensors -- such as high-definition cameras, LIDAR scanners and infrared sensors -- and will search inaccessible areas on land and at sea and generate 3D maps to help geologists find new sources of petroleum.

A Life Changing Event
Dale and I, Part IV
This is a true story about friendship and coming of age. The names were changed. These events took place in the early 1970's. I do welcome constructive comments, and thank you to those that have. I also thank everyone for voting and if you really like what I am writing about, tell me so and also VOTE,VOTE, VOTE. This is a true story of a friendship that has evolved over 40 years. This is also a tribute and a memorial to my friend, Dale, who passed away a few months ago. I am not a professional writer. This is not the typical gay suck and fuck story that seems to permeate this site and others. Both Dale and I grew up,went to college, eventually married women and had heterosexual sex,families and careers. But I am getting ahead of myself, so let me move onto part IV.
For the next couple of weeks I helped my parents paint the exterior of the house to ready it for winter and also seal the exposed wood that the paint had peeled off from. My dad came home from work one day in a really fowl mood and went right to the refrigerator and grabbed a bunch of beers. Well as part of his agreement with my mother, as part of the reconciliation, he was going to quit drinking as that was part of the problem in the first place and why their marriage almost crumbled the first time. Well Mom, my brother, Frank and I were outside painting and dad was inside getting pickled. My mom went inside to ask my dad to come outside and join us. The next thing I see is my mom flying backwards out the door she went in at and off the 3 foot high porch. Luckily my brother was there and he basically caught her before she could hit the ground. My brother hollered," Dad, what the fuck is wrong with you!!?" My dad charged out into the yard and beat the holly shit out of my brother. Then for no apparent reason my dad came charging at me and at that point I threw a open full bucket of paint in his face, as I was not going to get beat for just being there. I ran for my life to get away from that crazy son of bitch.
The last thing I remember, as I ran from him is I was heading towards Dales house. I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and then it was lights out. I woke up to sirens and Dale was holding me in his arms, and pleading, "Stay with us Mike, please don't die!!" I blacked out again and woke up in the hospital. A doctor was talking to me as I awoke. "Mike, can you hear me?" As my eyes came into focus it was Dr. Capitos, he was my pediatrician. " Hi doc.", I said. " Doc, what's going on, the last thing I remember is running from my crazy SOB father." Well, Mike, your father apparently threw a brick at you and hit you in the head, and honestly son, you are lucky to be alive and you have this young man over here to thank for it." I looked over and there was standing my best friend and guardian angel, Dale. Dr Capitos continued," Had it not been for Dale beating your father with a baseball bat to get him off of you, you would probably be dead now." "Mike, I want you to rest now, OK?" "Ok Doc." Doc left the room and Dale walked over to my bed. "Mike, I am sorry I could not have done more". He had tears in his eyes as he talked to me. I seen he had two black eyes. I reached very slowly and touched his swollen face, "Did my father do this?" " Yes" Dale responded. I pulled him to me and held him, as we both cried. I cried for the pain my father inflicted on my one true friend and also for the irreparable damage he, my father, did to our whole family. I was in the hospital for one month. The hospital administrator and Dale's parents allowed Dale to stay at my bed side. He was there to help me in and out of bed to get to the bathroom. He even insisted on helping with my sponge baths, to the chagrin of the nurse's. He even helped me eat, as my arms were both broken by my father's beating of me. Dale had a cot by my bed where he slept. As I was feeling better, I would invite him to sleep next to me. I would wake sometimes to find him holding me with his arms wrapped around me. I felt safe, secure and yes ,loved. I realized looking at him one night he literally laid his life down to protect me and put himself in harms way to do that. I thought to myself, how the hell do you pay someone back for that. I knew then that Dale and I were going to be friends for life and nothing and no one would get in the way of that.
I was released and my mother and brother met me and Dale, at the hospital for the long drive home. My brother, looked worse than I did yet somehow he fared better than I did. Dad was in jail, awaiting trial. While I was in the hospital, mom placed papers with the court for a divorce decree. We had savings to live on until mom found a job and my brother also pitched in as well. Life was ok, and we as a family were healing also. Mom found a job managing a local restaurant and made more money than our father did. My brother went to work in a local foundry and worked in the diecast department. His take home base pay was $40k a year, and that was in 1970's money. Between my mom and my brother, the household income was almost 100k per year. We did not suffer as my dad was no longer in the picture, we proved we could take care of ourselves.
While both my mom and brother were working I had the house to myself. In another month, school will start. I went and registered early for classes and took a bunch of advanced placement tests, at my counselors insistence. The next week my counselor called me to come in to discuss my courses I was to take that year. My counselor informed me that I tested two grades ahead of where someone my age normally would be. He said that he was going to recommend that I be placed in the seventh grade. This was great news, as Dale and I can now be in the same school and classes together.
I rode my bike from school over to Dale's house. I knocked on the front door and Dale answered. "I have great news and I think you will be happy also." "Dale you and are going to be classmates!!" I exclaimed. "Mike, But how?" " I took a bunch of advanced placement tests and tested 2 grades smarter than is normal!!" Dale looked at me and smiled and said, "I am so proud of you, Mike." At that point he reached over and pulled me close and hugged me. I felt his hardon pressing against my hardon. "Geez, Dale, you really are happy for me aren't you?", I said. Dale leaned forward and placed his hands on both sides of my face. He slowly moved forward and gently kissed me on the lips. I had never kissed another boy before, a girl yes, but not a boy. As he let his hands slowly drop, I reached around his waist and held him close to me. I did not let our lips part, as I kissed him back, but I also slid my tongue between his lips and open mouth. I touched the tip of his tongue with mine, then I flattened mine out against his. He started to press his tongue against mine and the tongue wrestling was on. The feel and softness of his youthful tongue and lips were indistinguishable from that of a girl of similar age. I pushed him backwards onto the couch, without separation. I was on top of him, laying to his side. I stopped for a moment to slide off his T-Shirt. All the time we spent at the "Y" paid off as both of us used the weight and machine room, we were both ripped with 6 pack abs and muscles in places that no longer exist on my present day body. I just looked at his naked torso in utter amazement." Mike, what are you staring at?" asked Dale." Your beautiful body", I said. "Well, if you want to see beauty, just wait a sec." Dale jumped up and unzipped his cutoffs and flung them across the room. He was standing before me naked and all I could do was smile in amazement." Well what are you waiting for or am I going to have to get you naked myself?" screamed Dale " Fuck it, I strip you myself!" With those words spoken, he pulled me to my feet, then he grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head, in the same stroke of his hands he pushed me backwards onto the couch, as I fell onto the couch, my feet went in the air and my shoes went flying in opposite directions. He leaned down and unzipped my shorts, grabbed my shorts and undies, then flung them over in the corner of the living room. "You still wear undies, are you kidding?" he chided me. He was a little winded as he flopped down next to me on the couch. Next he said," OK, now I have waited long enough for some of you getting into all of me and I want it now. I miss you and your touch and I am pretty damn certain you feel the same, tell me if I am wrong!!"
"Dale, shut up" and that said, I leaned over his left shoulder, leaned into his groin, opened my mouth and inhaled what made him so physically special, the beautiful veinless, soft and delectable cock. This time took considerable effort to help him get an erection, which in itself was strange, but munching on a soft young cock is always fun in itself, as I found out. The pleasure of sucking a flaccid young cock is when it starts to before hard usually instantaneously. I liked his cock as you could feel it engorging while in your mouth. I slowed down and started focusing my efforts on his incredibly smooth balls and his taught scrotum around his balls. I jacked him slowly and licked and massaged his balls. I learned how to bring him to the edge and stop. All this time Dale was moaning and groaning, please don't stop.
"Mike, I want you in me." Dale exclaimed. I stopped, but kept stroking him slowly, as I asked" Dale, I thought we agreed no anal sex, have you forgotten?" "Mike, I want you to try it on me and I do not want to do it to you as long as you do not want to", Dale reasoned. "Dale, I know fucking you in the ass will hurt and possibly injure you." " Mike, would you consider fucking me, please". Dale got up and ran up stairs and came back down with a large jar of Vaseline. He grabbed a handful and spread it all over my cock and the remainder in his ass crack, and asshole. Dale then leaned over the back of the couch and said," Please will you at least try" Reluctantly I agreed, but said if I see blood I AM STOPPING. Dale said" ok". I pressed the head of my cock at his asshole. He took a deep breath and his asshole seemed to lose all tension and actually loosened up. Dale screamed," I can feel it going in Mike." He was right it was sliding in, with minimal resistance. I was shocked and stunned. I stopped when I was balls deep in him. "Dale, are you Ok, PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE" "I am ok,it hurts a little bit." "I am going to pull out and see if there is any bleeding, and if there is we are stopping, that's final" I exclaimed. I pulled my cock most of the way out, and seen a little blood, but just a few drops. "Dale, I seen a few drops of blood do you want to stop?" "No", Gawd does that feel good. Ok I WILL CONTINUE. I slid it back into him " Awww AHHHHHHH,SHIT Motherfucker that feels so fucking good please keep going" screamed Dale. I started to pick up speed, god was his ass tight. It felt like heaven on my cock. He actually bucked into my groin. Ahhh God this felt so fucking good. His ass was grabbing my cock with every thrust. I could feel my orgasm was coming soon. "Dale", I whispered, I am going to come in a few seconds, OHHHHAHHHH and at that, squirt after squirt of cum was being deposited in my best friends ass. That was the first time in my life I came 5 consecutive times in a row. I was experiencing a lot of firsts with Dale. I collapsed on top of his back, I was exhausted, I came to the realization sex equals work at a very early age. "Mike, are you ok?", "Yes Dale, I am just exhausted, But , I want you to cum also. I went to the bathroom, washed up and returned. Dale was laying on his back on the couch. I sat down at his feet and started to rub them, mostly as a gesture to want him to feel good. I gently rubbed his inner-thighs, then I pushed his legs open and crawled up to where I had easy access to Dale Jr. I gently examined that beautiful young cock and always enjoyed my explorations of his willing genitalia. I gently caressed and needed his foreskin, it was flexible and stretchable, within reason. I ran my fingers along his flaccid member, noting the color and texture changes, I watched how the penile skin transitioned to the skin of scrotum, how the skin'a tension was controlled by the body as you breathed on the balls, the skin would tighten and as it was heated by my breath it would loosen its tension. I looked under his scrotum and how it connected to the base of the balls. I loved experimenting with Dale's as he was a will subject, that never complained. I returned to the head of his cock. I gently spread the opening to his urethra. Dale screamed," Shit that felt good". I gently licked the opening, all the while listening to Dale's praising of my efforts. I slid his cock head into my mouth, and licked it all around and sucked on it, as it slid in and out of my mouth. I thought I would try and swallow his whole cock to its base. The secret is learning to relax your throat muscles and control your gag reflex's. I just kept swallowing, and relaxing as I did it. I managed to swallow all but 2 inches. AHHHHHHH,SHIT that feels so fucking good please keep going" screamed Dale. Just as I achieved this Dale started to cum and boy did he. I just held him there and he shot load after load down my throat. I thought I was going to get sick, but I held it together. Dale's limp cock fell from my mouth, as did a little cum from the tip of his dick. Dale looked at me as I laid my head on his stomach, for a quick nap.

\"Guardians\" Remains Top Draw At Box Office
Monday, September 1, 2014
(Undated) -- The "Guardians of the Galaxy" are saving Hollywood from a sluggish summer at the box office. The film raked in another 16-point-three million over the Labor Day weekend, bringing its total to 274-point-six million to become the highest grossing film of the year. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" came in at number two with another eleven-point-eight million in receipts, while "If I Stay" stays at number three with earnings of nine-point-three-million. "As Above, So Below" is the weekend's highest debut, opening with eight-point-three-million in ticket sales to land at number four on the list.

Spinach, Feta, and Artichoke Dip
Author Notes: My Mom has made a straight forward hot artichoke dip for years that is fabulous, absolutely addictive. For many though, with gads of mayo and cheese, it's a bit much. I took her inspiration and tweaked it a bit to lower the fat level (though its hardly low-calorie), and to amp the flavors by building on the ingredient list, adding lemon for brightness, spinach for some color, sour cream and feta for their tang, and the pine nuts for their earthy crunch. I had someone almost kill me for this recipe at New Years. - Oui, Chef - Oui, Chef
Food52 Review: WHO: Oui, Chef is a writer, father of five, and a longtime Food52er. He lives in Massachusetts.
WHAT: Artichoke dip, all brightened up.
HOW: Mix your ingredients together in one bowl. pour into a baking dish, top with feta and parmesan, and bake.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Oui, Chef keeps all the things that make artichoke dip so delicious -- the cheese, the mayonnaise, the sour cream -- and then brightens it all up with a good dose of lemon. The resulting dish is something you could eat a lot of -- without wanting to take a nap afterwards. - The Editors
Serves 8 to 10
- 1 6 ounce can of artichoke hearts in water, drained, thinly sliced and patted dry
- 1 10 ounce package of frozen spinach, thawed, chopped and wrung dry in a clean kitchen towel
- 3/4 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup lightly toasted pine nuts
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Place your oven rack in the center position and pre-heat the oven to 425 ?.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, the pine nuts, black pepper, salt, and 1/2 cup of the parmigiano cheese.
- Rub the inside of a small baking dish with the crushed garlic, then discard the clove. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread top an even thickness, sprinkle the top with the remained 1/4 cup of parmigiano and the crumbled feta.
- Bake until the top browns and the dip heats through, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with pita chips, or the crackers of your choice.

Hi Dave,
In the event you wish to know more about how 2.4 GHz systems work, jump on over to this website: http://mysite.verizon.net/respri94 There you will find The 2-Point-4 Chronicles, a free article on what this 2.4 stuff is all about. We did loads of field testing and practical application to find out what works, and what doesn't. We test those rumors that float around and find out the truth. We found some things that were not supposed to work really do, and vice-versa. It's free and no commercials or ads. Just download and read. And the advice about just putting the antenna inside with a piece of tape....yup, that works in a wooden fuselage. Mike Lee |

Hi Mike and Lenny,
That was a great read, especially since I am just starting to get a handle on the move to 2.4 and how it works and what it means. I don't have any planes that use CF yet but I imagine as I update my building techniques I'll build one eventually. I worried over the selection of a radio for quite a while but having read your article I feel better about my choice and that it will all work out somehow. Thanks again, Dave |

An option with the A-9 would be to go with the 7 channel RX which only has one antenna if you're going to lay it insdie. I've done this on a BOT and a Avia and it works just fine. Wood,glass and Kevlar don't cause RX blindness.
Another would be to use the Mimima RX if you don't need a bunch of channels and/or absloutely feel the need for external antennas. It has a scaled down version of the BODA antenna. I use this in my Pulsars with two leads taken out just behind the pylon even though it don't require it. I have had both setups and RX's to 2700 AGL and ranged out making it probabaly in the 3000 + ft range. |

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the compliments on The 2-Point-4 Chronicles. And also to Lenny. Things have settled in with 2.4 and would you believe it has now been 5 years since the major introduction of this frequency to the r/c aircraft world? Wow! Gotta love it! Mike |

An appreciated article by which we can get most of the advantages thanks a lot for this.
The solution is simple, what is needed is massive reforestation using (Massive Water Recovery & Reforestation) technology currently available alongside innovative top soil application. What we have to do is create artificial green lungs made from genuine forest fibres with forest energetics naturally thrown in thus producing the very forest ecosystem (we are so short-sightedly destroying) that will effect climate change in a positive way.
Is Water Too Cheap?
In Arizona the focus has traditionally been on increasing water supplies with only a little attention paid to reducing demand. SRP's Water Use It Wisely program is a good example of demand-reduction efforts, but water is still cheap (less than half a cent per gallon on average), which still sends the message to consumers (even those who know better) that water is not valuable.
Will it take a crisis in Arizona to wake us up to the fact that water is a finite resource, one which we cannot live without?
It's true that as long as growth in Arizona goes outward - onto land that was previously used for agriculture, and not upward (by building tall residential buildings) there will be a net water gain from transitioning farm land to residential or commercial, or even industrial, use.
But then what? After we've transitioned all the agricultural land, where will our next bucket of water come from?
This article itself needs some tinkering, as it contains many errors of fact.
The water Los Angeles got from the Owens Valley came from the Owens River, not from any lake. Owens Lake was saline and alkaline and unfit for drinking.
The water from the Owens Valley is not pumped to LA; it gets there entirely by gravity.
The idea to get water from the Owens Valley for a rapidly growing Los Angeles was former LA Mayor Fred Eaton's, not William Mulholland's. Seeing the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct through to completion was Mulholland's crowning glory, not the Colorado River Aqueduct, although he was a strong proponent in the early stages of conception of the latter.
Water rights in the Owens Valley were purchased, not so much negotiated, at least in the early years.
The popular but false view of how Los Angeles acquired its land and water rights in the Owens Valley is that corruption was involved. However, this view owes far more to Chinatown than to the historical record, which shows that all sellers received market value for what they sold. Also unsupported is the claim that well-placed insiders knew that the water was coming and bought land in the San Fernando Valley in advance. Chinatown's screenwriter Robert Towne made this up.
The record shows that Fred Eaton bought land and options on land and water rights with the intent of selling water to Los Angeles, without disclosing his intentions. Mulholland, however, insisted that the project be city-owned throughout, and the two men, good friends for almost 30 years, did not speak for 20 years because they disagreed over how much profit Eaton should reap for his foresightedness.
When the water arrived in November 1913 it did not get to Los Angeles itself immediately because the pipeline to carry it there was not finished yet. When it was in 1914 the water got to the city by gravity.
The aqueduct did not drain Owens Lake, since it starts 60 miles upstream of the lake. Once the river was diverted, the lake did dry up by about 1928.
The Owens Valley revolt started in 1924, not 1928, and it was over the failure to build a large enough reservoir that would benefit the valley as well as Los Angeles.
It is a bad year, not a good one, when LA has to get two-thirds of its water from the Colorado River and the State Water Project. A good year would be when the majority of LA's water comes from the Eastern Sierra.
One slightly-above average precipitation year does not negate 3 bad ones. The amount of water in Lake Oroville is far more critical to Southern California than the amount in Lake Shasta.
Contrary to the post, pursuing water supplies does not create demand for real estate. Real estate in LA boomed in the 19th century when the railroads arrived, and water engineers had to find more supplies when they realized that population growth would outstrip the ones they already had. Also, most water utilities require new developments to pay for the new facilities required to serve them and now some require them to find new supplies of water.
Despite all these errors, Babbage has one thing right: it is absolutely true that water is too cheap. If California's population continues to grow, water will have to cost more and people will need to learn to use less of it, regardless of what changes may occur to California's climate.
While I liked the article and fully understood the authors point overall, I find the matter of taxing water (having the government consider it like any other commodity) laughable. I dont think additional government profit (taxation) would help in this situation at all. Most likley, any "profit" taken from the taxpayers would be squandered on some pet program.
Mr. Babbage, in case you are looking for some ideas on how to rectify your water situation, here are a few:
> Install a rainwater collection system on your gutters. They are cheap, they work, and you can stockpile your own "commodity" instead of relying on others to bring it to you!
> Put some buckets in your shower, and dump the extra water in your garden! Its your water, you already paid for it.
> Go to Menards, rent a drill point, and pound it into your backyard 100 feet or so - now you have your own well, and not only are you producing your own "commodity", you can sell it as super-healthy anti-aging "natural" bottled water! Wow, profit, what a concept!
It should be noted that agriculture uses 80% of the water in California, and the price paid by farmers for that water is two orders of magnitude less than the half-cent the correspondent pays. Improved water supplies paid for with $11B in public funds will not go to support his garden, but rather cotton fields in the desert, and the rationing is just to offend voters so they will vote for the improvements and related taxes. This is the true shame of the water situation in California, we spend billions in taxpayer dollars on water improvements to enable millions in agriculture. That is a waste of money, as well as water.
With global warming, there will be frequent occurrences of flooding and drought. There is a need to enlarge the storage system in time of plenty.
the years 2006 - 2010 made a real dramatic change in climate, this is a personal experience of every living tissue in this world that we are eventually moving to a hotter and hotter planet. Im afraid only a disasterous change would only be able to control it if it gets worse!!!
God bless the water souls !!
Babbage finds Los Angeles's $3.90 per hundred cubic feet silly. He should look inland for other absurdities. Fresno has a uniform rate of $0.61 per hundred cubic feet, though most of its supply is groundwater. The desert miracle Las Vegas has its base tier at $1.16 per 1,000 gallons for the first 5,000.
I did a study of water rates in 30 major cities for Circle of Blue and LA has one of the higher rates.
The $11 billion dollar "solution" on November's ballot is just more of the same 19/20th century claptrap Mulholland would have known and loved. More dams, more canals, more pumps, and more bureaucracy, none of which would create a single drop of water.
And again, the beneficiaries would be a small number of wealthy agriculture and property development moguls, while the subscribers would be the already parched California taxpayers (and the environment). Hollywood just wants its "Chinatown" redux.
Instead, we need some incorporation of market forces to help allocate water more efficiently in this state and on this planet. By the way, "more efficiently" means more effectively, more sensibly, and at a lower overall cost.
Some technical ideas include
1 - Invert our thinking on stormwater. Rainwater is already purified and delivered to your site. Why go to the considerable expense of conveying it all the way to the ocean and dumping it as if it were a waste product? Roofs, driveways, parking lots, and streets should all drain towards landscaping, not away from it. Excess should be locally stored or infiltrated to groundwater for later retrieval.
2 - We need to get serious about conservation. Low flow fixtures and smart sprinklers are nickel and dime efforts. We need every new house in California to be built with rain/greywater plumbing. Rain, bath and laundry water should all be used to flush toilets and water gardens. Gardens and landscaping should rarely include large lawns.
With these relatively cheap and simple measures, we can probably double our urban water efficiency and sustainably accommodate growth to 50 million Californians. Heck, we'll even save $11 billion dollars.
Must a good such as water either be 'socialized' or 'market-priced', as if it was a bit to be flipped between the values of 0 and 1? Must we always be forced to choose between Stalinist or Dickensian dystopias? Of course not, but we readers continue to be subjected to such false choices because they are such effective tools of argument.
Water can be priced on a means test. Water can be allocated free on a per-capita basis up to a certain volume and then charged at a scaled rate above that level of consumption. Water can be priced at rates tied to levels of reserviors and snowpacks.
The problem with water economics isn't a shortage of rational solutions to water pricing and distribution. The problem with water economics is that any group who has to claw/pay/gerrymander/referendum their way into a position of power to implement a solution is only interested in pulling on the system as hard as possible in their own favor. We have chosen to accept gridlock in the system as the price to pay to avoid the possibility that some *other* group might change water laws in a way that we don't like.
Babbage missed a rather crucial point. Urban water use is a small fraction of agricultural consumption. Depending on how you slice it, the best guess is around 2/3 goes to the farms. A lot of that grows extremely thirsty crops such as cotton and alfalfa, which alone may have surpassed urban consumption years ago, but are somewhat on the wane these days.
If the cities cut use to zero, California would still have a water problem in a prolonged drought.
If you want to improve the urban allotment, start the conservation efforts in the fields. In fairness, the farmers have already started switching crops and irrigation methods to cut back their use. A combined urban and agricultural conservation programme will go a very long way toward alleviating the problems with California's watersheds.
It should stop there. Mr. Reisner writes well, but has far too much regard for his own intelligence, and ignores a great deal of history in the bargain. There's far more to the water story than simple supply constraints. While I may agree that some of it no longer matters, if you want to cripple one of California's last major industries, mucking about with water rights is a great place to start. I can only imagine the "ripple" effect on the rest of the state. However arcane and frustrating, the wisdom embodied in these largely common law arrangements has worked rather well for almost a century and a half. California is already in enough trouble with bureaucratic meddling in the economy. We don't need any more thank you.
Almost a century on, some wish to repeat the Los Angeles saga by yet again diverting water from one place to another. On a far grander scale than those LA cronies ever envisioned. Those seeking "market pricing" should be very careful about what they wish for. They might get it. To the enormous profit of the bureaucrats and their friends. And the equally horrendous damage to the economy and its citizens.
Let's learn at least this much from history.
In responce to the correspondant's actual suggestion, I have thought for a while that I pay way too little for water for there to be any real incentive not to squander it. I just got my water/sewer bill from the town, this comes twice a year, and the water portion was just over $50. I maintain a garden, take long showers, and generally make no effort to conserve water, but then I am also in an area (just west of Boston) with no real shortage of this resource. I'm not sure why Nico considers water to be a "socialized good" any more than energy or heating oil, prices should reflect scarcity and encourage conservation where there is a need for it.
Upon reading Pdogood's comment, I can only conclude that he did not read the article (not sure who reccomended his comments either, probably those who saw he was denigrating a "liberal"). Your responces have nothing to do with this article, nowhere does the correspondant suggest mass exodus, and the one suggestion made by the article as to how to deal with the crisis is the epitome of a free market approach, so only conservatives with a severe identity crisis would try to paint this as a "liberal" idea. I must assume you are using the word liberal here as a slur, meaning someone in the democratic party who you reflexively hate (the new neo-con definition of the word), as opposed to its actual meaning. Even using this broad definition, I don't think the correspondant here fits the mould.
Our dear correspondent has fallen prey to a number of liberal fallacies. Point number 1: Most water in California is supplied by government entities, at least at the wholesale level, so are we recommending that a profit be made, and would that not constitute an additional tax? Point number 2: Assuming arguendo that all points south of the Delta were wrongfully settled, would our correspondent recommend that all 26 million of the inhabitants be transferred to refugee camps in Sacramento, San Francisco or Mono Lake with their farms and businesses left as a monument to left wing power, or perhaps the residents should just be left to wither and die in desert along with their farms and businesses? Point number 3: At last count California was still barely in the top 10 economies in the world, unceremoniously torn from the number 5 post by absurd regulation and government, so what effect might our correspondent expect on our economy and the US economy if we just devote all our resources to the enshrined Delta Smelt? Answering these questions might incline our correspondent to the view that a prudent method of conveyance around the little bugger would be preferable along with a healthy measure of simple conservation and recycling measures not dependent on funneling massive quantities of money to our lackluster government.
Babbage's first fallacy that sprawl created water demand far from supplies is correct historically but perhaps is fallacious today. California's groundwater resources are mostly inland in the direction of sprawl of the suburbs and edge cities. Yet California has enacted Assembly Bill 375 (AB 375) to politically steer new development away from the suburbs and toward large coastal cities far from groundwater supplies. Sprawl is partly the answer to greater water self sufficiency today contrary to popular and expert opinion.
All that anti-sprawl legislation will do is create greater reliance on imported water and imported power from coal and natural gas energy plants to pump the water to California's coastal cities.
The second fallacy of Babbage, that water is priced too low to deter consumption and waste, presumes that water markets are a solution. But water is a socialized good and as long as it stays a public good there will be no market pricing system. As to the discussion about sustainability, sustainability presumes a market not command and control of government.
For readers benefit I worked for a regional water agency in California and have extensive experience in land appraisal.

If you go out in search of an answer that fits your idealogy, you will always find it. See: NASA moon landing was actually done in a studio!
Those who ask questions first and then seek answers to them find that indeed, the climate is getting warmer.
For the readers of Marc Reisner, I recommend his precursor to Cadillac Desert, a paper entitled "A Straw in the Chocolate Malt" which was published in 1979 and does a good job of describing California's current Sacaramento-San Juaquin Delta issues. And more heartily I recommend "Overtapped Oasis", Mr. Reisner's sequel to Cadillac Desert that describes how massive water works villified in Caddilac Desert can, in fact, be necessary, prudent, and sustainable.
"Experts agree that the climate is generally getting warmer, which means there is less snow on the mountains to melt in the spring, fill the rivers and recharge the aquifers."
Where did you get that ridiculous notion? If you were to research it, you will find people who come to the opposite conclusion(s).
Marc Reisner's "Cadillac Desert" is an excellent read on the subject. It changed my opinion of Southern California forever. Babbage's description of how it all played out does not do the story justice.

These gender neutral wearables aren't just for the baby shower hosts, though. Buy a batch of our unisex white party beads, and hand one out to each guest if they accidentally say the word "baby." Avoiding this word is almost impossible at a shower, but doing your best to stay beadless is great fun! So many people will try to offer advice at your baby shower, but the marabou tiara in gender neutral purple can bring some order to this time-honored ritual. Simply pass the tiara around and insist that only the guest wearing the regal crown can share their best parenting tips.

Updated Oct. 14, 2013
Q: Why do you only accept bisexual/bicurious members?
Acceptance of only bisexual members has been an ideal in our group from the beginning. By no means is this a movement to seclude ourselves from any other communities or people; it is simply a step to create a safe environment for those who are like-minded. In groups for writers or photographers, only writers and photographers are invited to join. Why should we be any different? Bisexual and pansexual people deserve a place where they can be themselves, without any of the prejudices and stereotypes that are prevalent in both the gay and straight communities.
Q: Why was I denied from joining the group?
From September 18, 2011 to October 28, 2011, the policy was to not accept any members that did not clearly demonstrate having read the rules in the note which automatically comes up when you try to join the group. Unfortunately, this rule was not met with a very positive reception, and so we now accept all applications for membership. Those who clearly state that they are bisexual/questioning are very much appreciated, but you will no longer be denied as a member of the group for ignoring the suggestion to say so.
Q: What kind of art may I submit?
We only accept art that has to do with bisexuality. It can get a bit vague, but as long as it has something to do with your sexuality and your identity (or that of your bisexual characters) and it's high quality work, it should be accepted. If you're ever unsure, you can always ask. That being said, I have to turn down a lot of artwork because it's unoriginal/not enough effort has been put into it. If it's just a paint drawing with the words "i like being bisexual" on it or something, it will not be accepted. Take a look at the reasons why submissions are most frequently denied, and keep that in mind when you submit! We do not currently accept memes of any variety.
Q: What happens if my sexual identity changes?
Lots of people have their identity evolve and change as they get to know themselves better. Please leave our group as a member, but feel free to continue watching us. This is a home for bisexuals to share their talents, but we're glad for any amount of time you spent with us on your journey.
Q: Who can I talk to about _____?
Questions about how the group is run, deviation queries, and general questions about bisexuality may be sent to jmmlewis.
Questions about the groups rules and resources can be forwarded to KnittedBunny.
Questions and worries that you're seeking advice on can be sent to DeeTay, our support team leader.
Questions about the Facebook group can be sent to jmmlewis or the forthcoming FB moderators.
Q: Why was my submission denied?
All submission denials can be contested in the comments section of the submission process. There are a myriad of reasons I don't accept deviations, including: useless erotica/smut, lack of effort shown, poor structure in literary pieces, topics unrelated to bisexuality. That being said, my decision is final, and I will no tolerate members getting fussy over it. If you are rude in your questioning of why a deviation was denied, I will not hesitate to ban you from the group.
We're always looking for more help in terms of links, interesting articles, conversation points, etc. - so if you're interested in taking on an administrative position, either comment here or send a Note to jmmlewis!

A warm welcome folks!
Sorry to be that guy but why tell us the day the funded are due? I presume that evanto have known about this for some time and could have allowed those affected time to make alternative arrangements.
Also any indication to which authors are getting a delayed payment?
I appreciate the apology, but surely contacting each author as soon as evanto knew about the issue would have been more fitting.

I hate frameworks.. I code everything up from scratch.. It takes me less time..
+1 I find 'rolling' my own CSS a lot quicker than a framework. Less bloat, and as I wrote the class names / ids, I think it easier to debug.
Frameworks are a great starting tool though.

Well done Mike! I've been on TF 6 months, & GR a while before that, I'm about to take the jump into full-time on here now, any advice from a year long veteran?
Thank you!
My advice would be to always go with your gut, make the best products you can, and listen to the buyers. If it wasn't for the buyers asking / suggesting things to add / change in my themes, I don't think I would have made it this far!
Also remember the community, its packed full of super helpful people!

Congrats Mike! My first item was released on the 8th Januar of 2011 so it's about two years for me
Thank you! Really? Only 2 years? I thought you were like the oracle of TF.
I must say your tools for authors have been super helpful in my first year!
Hey Guys,
I have officially been on ThemeForest for one year! My first theme Notes got accepted a year today!
I did intended on writing something a bit more in depth (More like a review) later on, but I just wanted to say thank you to every single person who has bought, commented, or shown off one of my themes.
I never intended to get that involved in creating themes, I started doing them as something to keep me busy whilst waiting for freelance work. A year later and I am working on them full time.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to ThemeForest and the other Evanto communities, as you are blooming awesome.

I live in England where things are pretty expensive, my rent is about $2418.30 a month. I live with my girlfriend, yeah we follow the 30% rules, just saving to buy a house in the next 6 months.
+1. We rent a 3 bedroom house that is around £650 / $995 (aud) a month, before a single bill is paid. It is great at the moment, but we shall be moving to our own (smaller) place hopefully next year. Just have to wait to have two years accounts.
