Vt. House OKs package to fight drug abuseBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | March 23,2013MONTPELIER Leaders in the Vermont House on Friday lauded passage of multi-pronged legislation designed to stem drug abuse and reduce overdose deaths.
The measures were given preliminary approval Thursday and final passage Friday, and now go to the Senate.
These bills, in summary for me, save lives, promote recovery and protect our communities, said Rep. William Lippert, D-Hinesburg, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee. I think those three goals are really what we need to do in response to opiate addiction and methamphetamine abuse across Vermont.
The measures would:
Require doctors who prescribe narcotic painkillers to register with a prescription drug database maintained by the state Health Department and to check the database when they suspect a patient might be abusing painkillers or diverting the drugs to others.
Require pharmacists to ask for identification from people picking up prescriptions for certain drugs.
Set new standards for hospitals to refer patients who appear to be addicted to painkillers to drug treatment programs.
Have the Health Department create a new program to distribute to friends and families of addicts a drug known to counteract the effect of opiate overdoses.
Set new standards for reporting overdoses and deaths from overdoses, of which there currently are estimated to be more than 50 a year in Vermont.
One of the bills zeroes in on sales of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine by pharmacies, requiring them to use an electronic registry to record such sales. Those two cold remedies often are used to make methamphetamine, officials said.
And the legislation also would create new good Samaritan immunity from prosecution on drug charges when a person calls 911 to report someone appears to have overdosed.
Lippert said his committee heard testimony from a man who told of serving time in prison after making a call that saved a friends life. He told lawmakers he first hesitated in making that call, Lippert said.
The measures won praise from Tom Dalton and Grace Keller, who counsel addicts in a Burlington-based recovery program.
In Vermont, one person a week dies from an opiate overdose, Keller said. Many of these deaths are easily preventable.
She added that the legislation would help those prevention efforts.
One measure not contained in the legislation was a provision defeated last year that would have allowed police access to the Health Departments prescription drug database without a warrant, something that drew opposition from civil libertarians.
Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn said he had first planned to push the proposal again this year, but decided against it so as not to interfere with passage of the other measures.
In a year from now well be back, Flynn said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

The 19-year-old has arrived at Molineux to provide competition at left-back, with George Elokobi injured and Stephen Ward the only remaining option in the position.
Robinson, who is an England U21 international, could go straight into the Wolves squad for Tuesday's crucial Championship clash with Barnsley.
Wanderers boss Dean Saunders told wolves.co.uk: "Jack is left-footed and he can play anywhere down the left side and he gives us competition for places.
"I spoke to (Liverpool manager) Brendan Rodgers, I spoke to Steve Cooper, who was his coach in the Under-16s and 17s, and I've spoken to nearly all the coaches that he's played for and all of them have been very positive about him.
"He's got really good quality on the ball, he's aggressive and he's a winner. Sometimes a young lad and a fresh face comes in and lifts the place, and I think Jack is strong enough to be able to deal with the pressure."
Robinson became Liverpool's youngest ever player when making his Premier League debut against Hull in 2010 but has failed to establish himself at Anfield since with the likes of Jose Enrique and Glen Johnson ahead of him in the pecking order.

The Pushmataha Hospital board held a special meeting on Friday at 1:00 pm. Since the resignation of administrator Mark Rodgers, there has been a lot of speculation concerning the state of the hospital. The board met to address some concerns about the hospital's future and to begin plans for the future of the hospital. The meeting began with acceptance of the minutes from the prior meeting and the acceptance of the resignation of board member Bruce Lawless. Janine Stadifer was appointed by the county commissioners to fill the vacancy and sworn in by County Clerk Jane Dunlap. Martin Tucker was voted Board Chairman and Jim Branam Vice-Chairman.
Discussed during the meeting were the possibility of sharing some services such as medical records and billing with the Atoka Hospital. Even though both hospitals would remain autonomous they both would be able to save on expenses and both have increased buying power.
Another topic of discussion was how the Push Hospital could offer more services or expand current ones to better serve our area and increase the hospital revenue.
Local physicians from the Rowland-Flatt clinic, hospital department heads, and local and federal elected officials were represented or in attendance and all were encouraged to ask questions and make suggestions.
A presentation was made by representatives from the Atoka Hospital with examples of how they had been successful in recovering from great financial shortfalls. It was noted that, although the Push Hospital is facing a difficult financial situation, we are in far better shape than the Atoka Hospital was just a short time ago.
One of the biggest problems facing the local hospital is a low census or number of patients in the hospital. It was noted that one of the best ways to improve this situation was to offer more services, better patient care, and better relations with the public.
One goal, that was emphasized to be vital to improved medical care, was the need for more communication and cooperation between the administrative staff and the medical staff.
The board expressed their realization of how important the hospital is to our community and their determination to make sure the hospital remains vital and productive.
The hospital board members represent and are appointed by the Antlers City Council and the Pushmataha County Board of Commissioners, who together own the hospital.
The board members decided that in the interest of insuring that services are not interrupted and that no momentum be lost during a transition period, it would be beneficial to have someone who could make the necessary decisions and be fully sanctioned by the board as an independent CEO of the hospital.
During the early stages of talks about hospital stabilization and redirection, Steve Burrage, owner of FirstBank was asked if he could help out for a short period until things could be stabilized. Steve Burrage, a former hospital board chairman, agreed to help out if needed as long as he had a contract and full authority. He also refused to accept remumeration for his work. An agreement was reached and the last action by the board was to enter into a contract with Steve Burrage to become CEO of the hospital pending contractual and liability details.
The board members emphasized to the audience that there were no plans to stop any services but rather to add services and streamline current services.
Hospital employees were encouraged to continue to do their very best to ensure that the hospital services would not be hampered in any way.

Hi guys,
Just chiming in to start up this thread. I used search but did not find t1 owners thread, so I decided to make my own.
So I'm really liking what I'm hearing out of debitsohn's T1 that I reterminated to balanced. I mainly tested his with Roc and Metal and the sound was great! Easily my best Metal phone. Below are some of my initial impressions of it.
- The tonal balance is excellent and offers very lifelike timbre.
- Midrange is fluid and extremely transparent with exceptional detail.
- Treble is very extended and detailed without being harsh like other headphones can be.
- Bass is just awesome. It reminds me so much of the DT990's bass, but has slightly less impact and goes much deeper.
-The soundstage is but not HD800 massive. Kinda a little bit below the K701.
-Transients are also very good and so is the decay of notes and other sounds.
That's it for initial impressions on debitsohn's.
When mine arrives Wednesday I will post more impressions.

Man charged with Danby burglariesJuly 24,2013Man charged in
Danby burglaries
DANBY A homeless man who told police he is addicted to heroin is charged with two felony counts for an attempted break-in and a successful burglary at two businesses in town.
Vermont State Police said their investigations into burglary complaints at Nichols Store and Whites Fuel Stop in Danby led them to Adam L. Cijka, a 34-year-old man described in court records as a transient.
Police say they arrested Cijka on Monday, less than 18 hours after the incidents in Danby. Prosecutors have filed paperwork to charge Cijka with felony counts of burglary and attempted burglary.
But Cijka did not appear in court Tuesday for arraignment. Instead, he is scheduled to be arraigned today in Rutland criminal court. He remains in jail for lack of $5,000 bail.
Cijka told police that he and a woman drove from Wallingford to Danby on Sunday night with a plan to break into stores to find items that they could trade for crack cocaine and heroin, according to court records.
After a failed attempt to break into the fuel stop, the pair allegedly drove to Nichols where Cijka told police he forced his way into the building and stole hundreds of dollars worth of cigarettes and lottery tickets. Cijka told police he later traded $60 worth of winning tickets for drugs in Rutland.
Police say they were led to Cijka when someone tried to cash in the stolen lottery tickets at a Rutland convenience store.MORE IN This Just InAssociated Press Full StoryIt seems like I just started to warm up from last winter and I see back-to-school displays.

NIEHS Specific Information:
Research projects and career development experiences proposed in response to this Announcement will be expected to have a defined impact on the environmental health sciences and be directly responsive to the mission of the NIEHS, which is distinguished from other Institutes by its focus on research programs seeking to link the effects of environmental exposures to the cause, mechanisms, moderation, or prevention of a human disease or disorder or relevant pathophysiologic process. Applications must include as part of the justification the specific human disease, dysfunction, pathophysiologic condition, or relevant human biologic process altered, and the specific environmentally relevant toxicant. Examples of environmentally relevant toxicants include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, fungal, bacterial, or biologically derived toxins. Agents considered non-responsive to this announcement include, but are not limited to: alcohol, chemotherapeutic agents, radiation which is not the result of an ambient environmental exposure, drugs of abuse, and infectious or parasitic agents. Ecologic, biomonitoring, biotransformation or biodegradation studies are also not responsive. Applications from individuals with backgrounds in chemistry or environmental engineering will only be responsive when the degree and previous research are in the physical sciences, with essentially no biological or biochemical experience. The intent of the application is to allow quantitative scientists to apply their research expertise to biological problems; therefore, career development programs must propose to develop expertise in biological applications, and any program proposing additional training in quantitative areas will be considered non-responsive. Applications must demonstrate a significant career shift. Preference will be given to candidates whose mentor has NIEHS research grant support.

Will offers to lend a shoulder for Abigail, Sami wants to talk things out with EJ, and Brady runs into Chyka.
In Daniel's basement, Eric professes his love to Nicole. She's shocked. He doesn't think he ever stopped. She sobs. She's feeling dizzy and tells him she has had moments with Daniel but they lied. Nicole's in love with Eric. That's why she turned to Vargas and then Brady - to run away from her feelings. Not that it worked. They stare intensely at each other. Eric beats himself up for blaming her for Kristen raping him. He cries. He kicks his shoes at the breaker, hoping to turn off power so someone comes. Upstairs, Daniel tells Roman and Marlena Eric and Nicole are missing. They decide to trace Eric's phone.
Tad pounces on Will at Club TBD, wanting to see his engagement ring. Will turned Sonny down. Tad snaps. "Why? Sonny's a great guy. I would marry him if I swung that way." Will chuckles. He's glad Tad's in their corner. He loves Sonny more than he thought he could. Sonny eavesdrops and when Tad goes back to work, Sonny plants a kiss on Will.
Gabi runs into the DiMera mansion whining about Nick. Sami assures her, "He's fish food." Gabi talks about her undying faith in EJ. Sami gets a look and admits they're going through rough times. Gabi knows there's nothing EJ won't do for her.
Porn music plays as EJ and Abigail make out at the Horton Cabin on Smith Island. Outside, someone takes photos. Abigail unbuttons EJ's pants and then backs off and apologizes, questioning what she's doing. He apologizes for being so abrupt when he told her they shouldn't call and didn't mean to ship her off to Europe. He cares about her. They have a great connection and they took it too far. She's a good person and he respects that. He's grateful for the time they shared and asks to be friends. She agrees to it and leaves.
Brady stomps into the Kiriakis mansion, grabs the booze and yells, "Maggie, you home?" There's no answer so he gets a drink and flashes to Theresa outing him for being drunk. He decides to get out of town.
Dr. Chyka throws Eric and Nicole's belongings and Eric's cell phone into the garbage at the park. Later, this is what Roman, Marlena, and Daniel find. Daniel recalls "Dr. Duval" recognizing Eric this morning in his office. Roman says this must be their guy! He calls Salem PD while Daniel and Marlena try to retrace Eric and Nicole's steps. Daniel calls Brady but his call is ignored. He goes home to wait for SPD.
Chyka sits beside Brady at the Salem Airport, glad he's not late. Brady tells Chyka to make himself comfortable. The flight is delayed. Brady receives Daniel's call and ignores it. When he doesn't have money for the vending machine, Chyka offers to break a twenty. As he gets it from his pocket, Eric's rosary falls out and Brady gets it. He notices it's identical to his brother's. He gives it back and Chyka says they've likely made millions. No, Brady says he got his in Africa. They're one of a kind but he knows that one isn't his because "you'd have to pry it out of his dead cold hands for him to give it to ya." Chyka thinks his brother must be a good man. The priests get a bad rap these days. Some guy interrupts and tells them about some priest making a sex video and Brady tells him to shut up. That priest is his brother! Brady decides not to go to Vegas after all. He leaves and Chyka throws the rosary in the garbage.
Gabi stops by the club and updates Will and Sonny on meeting with Julie about Nick. Abby arrives and Gabi goes on about how glad she is that Sami has EJ in her life. Abby doesn't have an opinion on them either way. When she leaves, Will follows her to the park and thinks she seems off. It's about a guy. Will thinks he knows who he is.
When EJ arrives home at the DiMera mansion, Sami says her brother's moving on with his life, maybe it's time for her to do the same thing. She says she let his family come between them. She took his love, support, and loyalty for granted and is ashamed.
Daniel gets home and finds a couple arguing. The A/C is off and she's having hot flashes. The man couldn't get into the boiler room because the key is missing, and the superintendent's not home. Daniel gets an idea and hopes they're still alive. Meanwhile, downstairs, Eric and Nicole are unconscious.

LickedWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
"Everyone wants to be on a postage stamp, but nobody wants to die." — Pat MacDonald
Thanks to the U.S. Postal Service, 22 years after MacDonald sang that lyric on the Timbuk3 song "Standard White Jesus," you no longer have to.
Of all the honors American society and culture can bestow — hosting "Saturday Night Live," being parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic, providing a voice for a "Simpsons" character, being mentioned in a David Letterman Top 10 list, marrying a Kardashian — having one's image on a postage stamp is the greatest; but until now, it could only happen after one assumed room temperature and could not enjoy it.
The policy does make sense. Imagine if there had been an early 2011 unveiling of "The Coaches of Penn State" stamp series, featuring Joe Paterno, Jerry Sandusky and Mike McQueary. Those stamps would not have graced many Christmas cards by year's end. The Big Ten Football Conference, which encompasses 12 teams, learned that lesson this year when it had to strip Paterno's name from its inaugural championship trophy.
By waiting until people are long dead before placing them on a stamp or money, you have a reasonable shot at making sure you know enough about them to avoid such an embarrassing scenario. That doesn't mean the occasional revelation won't surface, but we tend to forgive the dead when we discover they endorsed documents espousing equality while owning slaves and fathering children with those slaves.
William Porter recently wrote in The Denver Post that, "When Arapahoe County's former sheriff was recently arrested and charged with dealing methamphetamine, much was made of the fact that he was jailed, orange prisoner jumpsuit and all, in a building named in his honor. This was not only humiliating for a man once named national Sheriff of the Year. It also posed a serious public-relations problem for the county he once served: What do you do when the Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility houses Patrick J. Sullivan Jr.?"
Death and time also provide context for notoriety and achievement. Fame can rise, burn bright and disappear faster than you can say "Yahoo Serious." Or "Crocodile Dundee." Or "Mark Fidrych." Or "Snooki." Or "Carty Finkbeiner."
Still, imagine the fun to be had if you could be on a stamp while still alive! You could carry a postage stamp in your wallet as ID to impress snooty maitre d's, and being on a stamp would be one of the greatest pickup lines ever.
There must be a thousand variations on "signed, sealed, delivered," "return to sender," "you send me" and "I bet you've licked me before" a person could smoothly invoke while brandishing a stamp with his or her face on it.
Someone on high must agree, because starting this year, the U.S. Postal Service is not only opening its stamps to living people, it is, in a decision that illustrates the wisdom guiding the organization, asking the public to help choose who could be honored.
Get your portrait ready, Larry the Cable Guy!
According to a news release, "The Postal Service is dropping a rule that currently requires an individual to have been deceased at least five years before being honored on a stamp. Under the new guidelines, living or recently deceased individuals will be eligible for commemoration on postage stamps."
Can't wait to see the many costumes of Lady Gaga immortalized!
"This change will enable us to pay tribute to individuals for their achievements while they are still alive to enjoy the honor," said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe in a news release. "These remarkable individuals — through their transformative achievements in their respective fields — have made enduring contributions to America. Honoring living individuals expands the interest in stamp topics and keeps our program timely, relevant and contemporary."
Remember when the public voted on which image of Elvis Presley should be on a stamp? There was young, healthy, sexy, skinny Elvis, and older, unskinny Elvis. Could a similar choice soon face Oprah fans?
Stephen Kearney, executive director of stamp services for the postal service, was quoted as saying, "Engaging the public to offer their ideas is an innovative way to expand interest in stamps and the popular hobby of collecting them. We are inviting our customers to submit the top five living individuals they would like to see on stamps through Facebook."
Some of the suggestions people have posted include Michael Jackson, who would qualify in a few years anyway (ditto Steve Jobs and Elizabeth Taylor); peace-loving Billy Graham (who was nominated by the same person who nominated violence-loving Clint Eastwood); Dolly Parton, who would require two stamps to illustrate the bounty of her wigs; Ellen DeGeneres, who would have a field day with tongue and licking jokes; Bill Clinton, who would have a field day with tongue and licking jokes; Harrison Ford, who has technically been on a stamp with the Han Solo portrait in the "Star Wars" stamps; Bill Cosby; Madonna; Barack Obama; Bob Dylan; Stephen Hawking; and Jesus Christ (the nominating person wrote on Facebook, "I really want to be able to send letters with Jesus Christ stamps. He even fits both profiles of being deceased, yet is still alive!")
As no human being is perfect, no human being is beyond making a legacy-shattering mistake. Changing the USPS policy to allow living human beings on stamps is risky, but the conundrum of human nature in all its fallibility is an issue that will most likely never be licked.

Get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Q:Does this have to be refrigerated like other products?Asked on 6/16/2015 by tokyo0226
4 answers
A:No, it does not need to be refrigerated but kept in a cool dark place!Answered on 6/19/2015 by Pauline
A:No it doesn't. I stored mine either on the counter top or under the sink.Answered on 6/16/2015 by Anonymous
A:Nope! But I'm sure it would feel great cold on hot or sunburned skin. But
it doesn't require refrigeration.Answered on 6/16/2015 by Cay from Orlando, FL
A:No, 9-5 does not need to be refrigerated.
Stephen R. Olivier II
www.olivierstudios.comAnswered on 6/16/2015 by PainterPapaCook from Newark, NJ
Q:Does the 9 to 5 cleanser work on combination skin? Whenever I use liquidy cleansers, they don't clean my face. Does this work and make you feel fresh without drying your face out? Also, would you rather recommend Angels on bare skin?Asked on 6/2/2015 by Anonymous from Los Angeles
2 answers
A:I would say 9-5 probably feels like any other liquid-y cleanser, and if you
want a "cleaner" feeling face after washing, go with Angels On Bareskin.Answered on 6/4/2015 by Cay from Orlando, FL
A:9 to 5 can be used on most skin types, as it is a gentle, hydrating cleanser. If you prefer more of a "squeaky clean" feeling on the skin, you might be more suited to a non-cream cleanser, as 9-5 definitely leaves the skin with a hydrated feeling.Answered on 6/3/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Is this product useful for treating and preventing mild to moderate acne?Asked on 9/30/2014 by Laura from Brooklyn, NY
1 answer
A:9 to 5 is a cleanser for our customers that prefer more of a liquid cleanser. Also, it does an excellent job removing makeup. For a cleanser that will treat mild to moderate acne, I would recommend either Fresh Farmacy or Herbalism.Answered on 10/1/2014 by Anonymous
Q:Why is perfume in this product? I have fairly sensitive skin and avoid products with perfume. What is the perfume?Asked on 7/6/2014 by m.r.
1 answer
A:Many of our fragrances are formulated to add treatment properties to the product; for example, chamomile blue has a high azulene content, which has a soothing effect on the skin and studies show it to have anti-inflammatory properties. 9-5 is great for sensitive skin and is very gentle so it limits the chance of irritation.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Anonymous
Q:Can this be used with Clarisonic?Asked on 1/22/2014 by Gel from NY
1 answer
A:9 to 5 was not designed to be used with a Clarisonic, so your best bet would be to check with the manufacturer of your device!Answered on 3/21/2014 by Brandy from LUSH
Q:I am not very familiar with the way in which a cleanser such as this one should be used. I normally use the bar/soap cleansers. Is it okay for me to leave this on overnight or throughout the day? I am not sure if I'm supposed to wash this off or if I can just leave it on.Asked on 12/21/2013 by Adrian from New York, NY
3 answers
A:9 to 5 is a liquid version of soap and should be washed off after use. The proper application goes as follows: Take a quarter-sized amount and apply to the entire face, including the eye area, with gentle, upward, circular motions. Remove with a warm, damp face cloth or cotton pad. Follow with a balancing facial toner such as Eau Roma Water.Answered on 2/26/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:9 to 5 is one of my favorite cleaners. To use it, I apply it to my dry face and then rinse it off with water. You can also wipe it off with a dry wash rag, or equivalent, if you don't want to use water. Since it leaves great moisturizers behind, I don't recommend leaving it on your face. Hope you enjoy it!Answered on 12/22/2013 by Anonymous
A:I've always rinsed after, though it does say it's okay not to. What I do is
put a little in a cotton to clean my face without rinsing it first. It's
neat seeing how much it really does pick up. Then I rinse after as it does
leave a sort of layer on the skin. Hope that helps!

Q:Can I use this with a clarisonic or would it be too much?Asked on 7/16/2013 by Kaitlyn from Pa
2 answers
A:This product isn't designed to be used with additional accessories, so it's best to check with the manufacturer on whether or not this cleanser is suitable to use with a Clarisonic.Answered on 9/20/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
A:I actually tried this with the Clarisonic and I didn't like it all that much. It didn't lather and I felt like my skin still needed some cleaning. I love both products, but I tend to use the 9-5 first, wipe with a cotton pad and then use my clarisonic with a different cleanser.Answered on 7/25/2013 by Hello Miss Niki from New York City, NY
Q:I just bought the 9 to 5 cleanser and I'm not entirely sure how to use it. I was just rubbing it into my skin, but is there a better way to use it? I'm not getting results.Asked on 3/20/2013 by anon
4 answers
A:The best way to apply the 9 to 5 cleanser is to take a quarter-sized amount and apply it to the damp skin all over your face. Include the eye area, with gentle, upward, circular motions and remove with a warm, damp face cloth or cotton pad. Follow with a balancing facial toner such as Eau Roma Water.Answered on 9/17/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct

If you have a lot of make up on your face, put 9 to 5 on a wet wash cloth.
That's two ways that work for me.Answered on 7/2/2013 by Christiane from Orlando, FL
Q:Hello ....
I was wondering which cleanser is the best for taking off mascara? Thanks!Asked on 1/16/2013 by Maddie from Hershey, PA
2 answers
A:9 to 5 cleanser is a great choice for removing all kinds of makeup. It's gentle and nourishing, so it's safe to use around the eye area.
You could also take a look at Ultrabland, which is amazing at removing everything that's built up on your face during your day, including makeup. It's also gentle enough to use on your eyes - just make sure to use a wet, warm washcloth to take it off!Answered on 8/14/2013 by Anonymous
A:I use 9 to 5 to take off all of my makeup, mascara, foundation, blush, podwers, eyeshadow, I just apply it over my whole face, and eye area. Then wipe it gently with cotton balls or a wet cloth.Answered on 3/11/2013 by Descai from St. Albans, WV

A:I use 9 to 5 on days I wear no make up, I'm always shocked to see how much nasty dirt & gunk my bare face picks up during the day.Answered on 11/4/2012 by Bexi from Belleville ON
Q:Is this more of a night time cleaner or a whenever cleanser? I wash my face twice a day could this be used for both or should i use this only once a day? It was recomended to me because i have oily skin with the reasoning that oil attracts more oil, and also because I was using Dark Angeks every day for a few months and now need to replenish the good oils in my face. So would you suggest using Herbalism or Aqua Marina in the morning and then 9 to 5 or Ultra Bland (i own them both) when i get in from work?Asked on 1/26/2012 by Salvatore

A:LUSH 9 to 5 is a gentle cleanser made with almond oil, dove orchids and essential oils. It is safe to anytime you choose.Answered on 1/30/2012 by Community Answer from None
A:I use this morning and night and all I can say is it is the miracle I've been looking for for my 50-something combination skin. Please give it a try!Answered on 3/3/2012 by softlipsgirl from kentucky
A:WHELL. This is a wonderful question. I personally use it more at night, after a long day, and just smoosh it all over my face to then cotton off all my make up. HOWEVER, this really is an all-around cleanser that you could very well use more than once a day because it is so gentle. I too own both 9 to 5 and ultra bland, though I prefer the 9 to 5 as a make-up remover/cleanser, and the ultra bland as a straight-up cleanser. I like to schmear ultra bland over my face, then exfoliate with ocean salt when I want a nice facial experience, though for me, the ultra bland does not remove all the gunk from my face like the 9 to 5 does. More often than not, I find myself using 9 to 5 at night before bed, and then washing again in the morning with angels on bare skin (or any other solid cleanser from LUSH I have not tried Herbalism or Aqua Marina), followed by a moisturizer. However, I have more combination skin, so I would probably suggest you using herbalism. I hope this helped!Answered on 3/25/2012 by Lauren, age 21 from Tucson, AZ
A:I think 9 to 5 is a great night-time cleanser, combined with maybe Dark Angels or Aqua Marina afterwards. It really takes off the grime from the day, and preps wonderfully for any more intensive treatments at night! I like to use 9 to 5 at night to remove my make-up, followed by Dark Angels, and Fresh Farmacy in the morning :)Answered on 4/22/2012 by Maddie from DFW, Texas
A:I use Aqua Marina as well, but I use that twice a day. I would say to use this one in the middle of the day or in the morning. Aqua Marina is great for the night time, or so I think.Answered on 5/30/2012 by fakexpearls from Colorado
A:The 9 - 5 Cleanser is suited to both day and evening use, as its such a gentle product, suited to helping remove stubborn makeup. Its ideal for sensitive skin, so although it would be a good makeup remover for your skin-type I would recommend trying the Herbalism now, as it can combat but is less intense than Dark Angels.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Anonymous
Q:Do I use a toner and moisturizer after using this product?Asked on 1/22/2012 by Anonymous
2 answers
A:You should use a little toner after but you can skip the moisturizer.Answered on 2/8/2012 by Brandi from Rhode Island
A:Most people will benefit from toning and moisturizing after using a cleanser. The purpose of a toner is to hydrate the skin, and the moisturizer works to lock that hydration in. This can vary depending on your individual needs, though! I recommend using 9 to 5 in the same way that you'd use any cleanser, so if you normally use a toner and/or a moisturizer, you're probably best off keeping it up!Answered on 8/30/2012 by Brandy from LUSH

No iPad/Mac version makes this a non-starter for me unfortunately
Finish for iPhone aims to help even procrastinators get their stuff done
I've joked that to-do apps are like gym memberships -- something people throw money at out of guilt and good intentions, but seldom follow through on using. Finish by Basil, just released for the iPhone, aims to to help with that through a combination of good design and the understanding that failure often is an option. In fact, Finish is crafted precisely with procrastinators in mind.
Here's the gist. You create a to-do -- name it, date it, and done -- and assign it to a time period that's sorted into short term, mid term, or long term. As time passes, the tasks automagically re-sort accordingly. If you don't get it done on time, rather than make you feel like complete jerk, it just moves it to the next appropriate time frame and subtly urges you to boot yourself in the butt and get it done already.
Basil has done a lot to de-stress the to-do experience as well, keeping long, intimidating lists out of sight until they really need to be in mind, and letting you choose a notification level that bests suits your temperament. Whether you're easily distracted or truly overwhelmed, time-frame based tasking might be just what you need.
Controls are gesture based for the most part, but they're well hinted -- sometimes too well hinted, with expository text that lingers long after you get the hang of it -- and there are buttons where there should be, so you can spend your time using instead of figuring out how to use.
It's iPhone only, so multi-device users and power sync-ers take note. But if all you're looking for is an elegant, thoughtful, realistic way to manage your tasks, give Finish a look. And if you've tried it already, add your thoughts in the comments.

Housing is an issue for everyone. It can be difficult for anyone, irrespective of their sexual orientation, to find somewhere decent and safe to live. Many people are homeless or reside in substandard or overcrowded housing for a range of reasons, such as:
Then, unfortunately people do not live happily ever after once they have found accommodation. Situations change: people may struggle with payments for their accommodation, they may begin to feel unsafe in their own home or the living space may become unsuitable as the size of their household varies or their physical needs change.
Housing is specifically an issue for lesbians, gay men and bisexual people
Most local authorities and housing providers do not monitor the sexuality of clients therefore they do not have a clear picture of how big the problem is nor how best to respond to the needs of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people faced with homelessness.
There is limited research about the housing needs of LGB people but reports such as Stonewall Housing's 'Sexual Exclusion' Report (2005) identify the specific issues they face:
Young LGB people:
Sexuality can be a direct cause of homelessness for young LGB people - they are thrown out of their home or decide to leave home to escape homophobia.
Coming to terms with their sexuality and the withdrawal of love and support from family and friends can lead to emotional or mental health difficulties, such as low self-esteem, depression and self-harming behaviour. They can put themselves in dangerous or exploitative situations to meet their need for acceptance and affection and they can begin to use alcohol or drugs to try to cope with or block out issues arising from being LGB and homeless.
Older LGB people:
People have difficult decisions to make about housing and care as they grow older. They may need to consider sheltered or extra-care accommodation or may need to arrange for a carer to visit their own home.
Older people often find that society believes they no longer have an active sexuality and it is assumed that everyone in older people's accommodation is heterosexual. This often leads to LGB older people being invisible within housing services or housing workers are uncomfortable about LGB issues, which intensifies their feeling of isolation and they fail to receive the services they need.
Harassment and violence:
Many LGB people of all ages experience homophobic harassment and violence in their neighbourhood. Someone may know or suspect their sexuality. Harassment can include name-calling, graffiti, criminal damage and over time even seemingly small incidents can cause extreme distress and fear, with people often too frightened to leave their own home. Homophobic assaults or violence may or may not be preceded by incidents of harassment.
LGB people are often forced to be open about their sexuality in order to report a crime to the police or anti-social behaviour to their landlord.
Domestic abuse:
LGB people can face domestic abuse from partners, parents, siblings and other family members. This abuse can be emotional, physical, financial or sexual. One of the biggest obstacles for LGB people wanting to flee domestic abuse is the lack of emergency accommodation for LGB people, especially for men.
Other issues:
LGB people can also face marginalisation on multiple levels when trying to find appropriate accommodation - for example, if they are disabled or are from black, asian or other minority ethnic groups, or are travellers, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
Accessing Services
Lack of awareness among service providers about the sexuality of their clients can mean they are not always aware of the needs of LGB people and do not appreciate that they are in priority need for housing. This can make it difficult for LGB people to get the right help and support and can lead to increased vulnerability.
Also, homophobia perpetrated by staff or other service users can compound the difficulties faced by LGB people which may lead to them leaving housing services or avoiding using them at all.

List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
I want to become a better drummer, but my learning right now is disorganized. I want to have a set plan, goals, or some guidance as to what I should be learning and mastering.
So my question is,
What would be a list of things that a drummer should learn, from basic level to advanced level, to become a good drummer?
For example:
-Hitting the snare/toms propperly
-Learning to play the bass pedal
-Double bass speed
-Practicing at high BPMs
-Knowing grooves from around the World, jazz, etc.
So what would be like some sort of guidance, or guidelines that I could use to keep track of my progress, to know where I stand right now and what I should practice on to become a better drummer??
I need some guidance!! My progress is disorganized.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
Looks like you answered your own question in your example.
Do you mean a good rock drummer? Jazz drummer? All around, and all styles mastered? Then I would have to ask you to define what is considered "good".
I play in a rock band and I do a pretty good job of it, but I haven't mastered my rudiments yet. Working on it...
5A Sticks--Coated Heads--Acoustic Drums--Cast Bronze Cymbals--Heavy-Duty Hardware
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
First off, you have to define what your goal is.
No is a master of everything. Some drummers can play a little of everything, some are great at certain styles but never touch other styles. Some people want to be a working drummer doing whatever gigs they can find, some just want to join a band and never play casuals.
What interests you? Jazz? Country? Extreme metal? Polkas?
Of course, many of us start out thinking we want to do it all, but reality tends to get in the way of that.
Anyhow, once you have a better grasp of where you are trying to go, it's easier to figure out the path to get there.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer

Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
You can be a good drummer with very limited technical skills-- you just need to be able to play a few basic time feels well, and know how to develop them and make them fit a song, and then find a musical situation where that will work. To get yourself on the path to being a versatile pro drummer, some general areas you should be working on are:
Snare drum
You can just buy beginning and intermediate snare drum books and play through them. There are good books by Roy Burns, Garwood Whaley, or Mitchell Peters for that.
You get this from doing your snare drum practice. Eventually you want to be learning to read actual drum charts. The sketches in the Groove Essentials books are a good place to start with that.
Studio funk language
Most of all forms of pop drumming derive from this one generic thing, which you can get from New Breed, or various other books. Rothman's Mini-Monster rock book covers much of this, and if you apply yourself you can master it in 1-3 years.
Jazz language
Not so much because you need to be a jazz drummer, but because the methods carry over into other areas, and make you a better drummer. Learning the common ways of using Ted Reed's Syncopation is good goal for your next few years of practice.
The other two big imperatives are to listen a lot and play (with people) a lot-- all good drummers do a lot of both.
That's it-- don't get too caught up in gradations of beginning/intermediate/advanced. All that truly matters is that people want to play with you, and that's a standard you can meet very early on.

Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
All I have to offer is this:
Practice hitting the drums in the center for the best tone. It sounds crazy simple but I wish someone had told me that when I was starting out. I still see tons of drummers try to record and they can't figure out why they have these crazy overtones everywhere and its because they have no accuracy. Hit a drum in the center then hit it about halfway between the center and the edge and you will hear the difference immediately. You may want that sound sometimes, but when you are playing the drums don't just flail around; be deliberate with where you place your hits.
Be conscious of how hard you are hitting the cymbals in comparison to the drums. Its easy to wail on the cymbals which makes you sound unbalanced. When you are practicing a groove or whatever practicing playing lightly on the hihat or ride while you are laying into the bass drum and snare.
Record your practices, or at least parts of them. It may be disheartening at first, but it will give you an (almost) unbiased view of what you sound like which will give you more insight into what things you really need to work on.
I guess what I am saying is that everything is important but you should concentrate on how you "sound" to others. Its easy to say, I can play a paradiddle at 180 BPM but much harder to hear whether you are really laying down a groove or not and that gets looked over a lot when people (myself included) start really focusing on technique etc.
Good luck, sounds like you are developing a plan so that's a good place to start.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
A good teacher can put all things in focus for you.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
There are so many things to think about that you may overwhelm yourself.
I think the first thing you should tackle is how to move a drumstick efficiently. Of course that's JMO. What I really want to say is that working on one thing completely is far better than skimming the surface of 5 different things. So start at the very beginning and DON'T SKIP THE BASICS! The basics shouldn't even be called basics, people dismiss them too easily. The basics permeate ALL of your playing, so give them their due diligence.
To me the basics are:
Being able to work the sticks efficiently. There are many paths to the waterfall, you have to find yours.
Being able to play rudiments in time to a met
Learning how to read and understanding the note values.
Those 3 things could keep you busy for years. Approach drums like a musician approaches a pitched instrument, same way.
Sucking all the fun right out of life....
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
To add to Larry's post - which I agree with - I'm going to also add listening skills.
I posted a while ago about the difference between listening skills and mechanical skills. Mechanical skills are something you can practice methodically, with books and schedules and I absolutely support learning in that way. Listening skills are a little more nebulous. The ability to respond to other musicians is something that a lot of drummers forget about and I've heard plenty of examples of drummers playing mechanically impressive music and forgetting that their job is part of a collective experience with other musicians.
There are ways of practicing listening. Transcribing music with annotations describing the actions of other players is one method. For instance, if you discover that the drummer is playing more loudly on a recording, it may be as a result of a guitarist engaging a distortion pedal or similar - note that down. Don't simply transcribe, but describe and explain. This is very effective in highly communicative music, like Jazz.
I'm a terrible transcriber but it's a method that I will suggest as an effective solution.
The other is to just listen to a lot of music and find other players. It's so important to work as part of the collective experience and the best way to practice that is to play.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
To be a good working drummer, you need good people skills too. Sometimes a drummer everyone else likes working with gets the job over someone who might play a little better
but isn't friendly.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
to be a good drummer you need to be able to do one thing and one thing only
play music affectively
whatever style you choose to play
play it in such a way that others want to join you
thats it !!
whatever it takes to get there is up to your own discretion
choose wisely grasshoppper ...I'm confident you will

Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
Big ears.
The willingness to support other musicians and the ability to help them sound good.
Good feeling time. Not just metronomic time.
Getting a nice sound.
How to practice.
Enough facility/technique to express yourself in the music you want to play.
The ability to show up on time, in the right shoes, with your parts learned and appropriate gear in tow.
Great hair.
Big ears.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
while studying with Joe Porcaro every time I entered and exited the room Joe would yell....BIG EARS!!!!.....while holding his hands to the sides of his head
he was a firm believer in the notion that if you had "big ears" the music would tell you exactly what to play
I too am a believer in this
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
You're a very fortunate man to study with Joe. I've never heard anything but great things. I remember reading some great stuff he wrote for MD many years ago. Always on the money.
Re: List of things you have to master to be a good drummer
AND- relax. Let the shoulders down, spend the time to develop the hand technique up front or you wont be able to progress. Always relaxed. Harder than it sounds...

We are two wins from playing for a state championship.
These were Coach Landy Coxs words following the Berkeley Stags 6-1 over Gilbert to reach the Class AAA Lower State Finals and earn another shot at Hartsville.
These were the same words Cox said following Berkeleys 3-0 win over Socastee on Monday, May 12.
The Stags ended the week as they started it - two wins from playing for a Class AAA state championship.
Remember 2012, Cox said to his team after the game. Nobody gave us a chance then and we came in with Sterling Fiddie as just a sophomore to pitch the game of his life in relief.
Fiddie outpitched the Cane Bay ace Zach Wimmer in a tight 1-0 duel, striking out the sides with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh to nail down the 2012 District VII championship for a young Stags team.
Now, two years later, Berkeley has to do it again. They have to go into Hartsville and beat the Red Foxes twice.
Not an easy task, especially following the 11-2 defeat on May 14 that sent the Stags to the losers bracket.
We did it to Cane Bay and well do it to Hartsville. Weve already been there once. Weve seen what theyve got. We know what to expect this time. Well bring home a championship on Monday.
Lost in the storm of Berkeley dominating the game at the plate with their patented brand of Small Ball was the five-plus innings of no-hit baseball thrown by starter Jeffrey Stone.
Stone pitched into the sixth inning before surrendering a home run to Jared Williams to break up the no-hit bid.
I went out knowing I had the no-hitter, Stone said. I think I thought too much about it and lost my focus.
Stone would surrender a second hit and walk a batter before giving way to Joe Glauser in relief.
Glauser pitched out of the sixth inning jam by getting the Indians top hitter Caleb Watkins to ground into a rally-killing double play. The tall lefthander walked one and did not surrender a hit in two-and-two-thirds innings of relief.
At the plate the Stags rapped eight hits led by Eric Ortons single and RBI double.
Dylan Baker and Chase Ganey each produced big two-RBI hits to send Gilbert home for the summer.
This is it right here, Cox said. Everyone else is done for the summer. Tracks done, tennis is done. There isnt another baseball game going on anywhere for 200 miles other than right here. Lets go into Hartsville and take two and play for a state championship next week.
