"The vast majority of all prostitution arrests are under the communication law. The failure to strike down the communication law means that the most vulnerable sex workers will continue to face arrest, police harassment, prosecution and violence." –Emily van der Muelen, Assistant Professor, in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology, Ryerson University.
"I reject the conclusion that street work is so bad for neighborhoods that stopping it is more important than protecting women's lives." -Lux, a current sex worker with street experience.
"This is a letdown for the most vulnerable sex workers who are largely street, Indigenous and transgendered sex workers" –Keisha Scott, Coordinator, Maggie's: Toronto Sex Workers Action Project
While striking down the bawdy house law may increase security for some sex workers, on it's own, it is simply not enough. "The anti prostitution laws work together to jeopardize sex workers safety. it is not tenable to have a safe place to see a client if you can't screen him first or clearly set out what you offer, your rates and your safe sex requirements. Further, many street-based workers don't have access to an indoor place to work." - Kara Gillies a long time sex worker and activist for law reform
Maggie's: Toronto Sex Workers Action Project is Canada's oldest sex worker run organization dedicated to assisting sex workers in our right to live and work with safety and dignity.
Keisha Scott – Coordinator- Maggie's 416-964-0150
Maggie's is an organization run for and by sex workers. Our mission is to assist sex workers in our efforts to live and work with safety and dignity. We are founded on the belief that in order to improve our circumstances, sex workers must control our own lives and destinies.
Maggie's advocates that we should all have the right to choose or reject sex work, just as we have the right to choose or reject any other kind of work.

Indiana is part of a wave of states moving to crack down on youth tanning following a 2012 California ban for anyone under 18.
The Indiana House voted 69-23 on Thursday to ban tanning for those younger than 16.
California and Vermont first passed the most stringent laws banning tanning for anyone under 18 in 2012. Illinois, Nevada, Oregon and Texas followed suit the next year, and nearly every state has moved to restrict or ban tanning among minors since then.
Currently, anyone under 16 needs parent or guardian supervision to tan in Indiana. Seventeen- and 18-year-olds need permission to go alone.
The bill now moves back to the Senate for one last round of review.

It's that time of the year again. The days are getting shorter. The nights are getting colder. In Indiana, we have seen a few snow flurries, and I am dreading the graying of the sky for the winter. In response, we tend to sleep more, crave carbohydrates, and experience less energy. Although not an official DSM-IV TR diagnosis, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, or seasonal depression) has been popularly accepted by lay persons, practitioners, and researchers alike.
Our natural response to the seasonal changes only becomes a disorder when the distress is in excess of what would be expected from the stressor (seasonal change) and/or when it interferes with functioning in more than one key life area. If you are late to work every day and fighting more with your significant other, your response may be severe enough to be considered a disorder. Regardless of the extent to which the seasonal change effects you, there are several things you can do to fight the winter blues. (more…)

I'm not entirely sure how it happened, and I swear it wasn't intentional, but I may have raised myself something of a walking spoiler alert'. That's industry speak' for surprise ruiner'; or let's say, someone who wakes you up the day before your birthday with the words "we got you earrings!"
What that means for you is that your child may, if they somehow come into contact with my daughter, learn the facts of life at an accelerated rate, thanks to my inability to come up with a better story (on the fly) during an impromptu interrogation; "But how does the man's seed get into the woman's egg? How does it get in there? Does he poke a hole in her tummy and stick it in? What does he poke her with?" Sigh. Anyway, sue me; I was trying to shimmy into a body shaper at the time and my defenses were down. Much to my child's horror the truth came spilling out of my mouth. I didn't have time to consider all of your future miraculous moments. Sorry.
My unproven theory is this; my husband and I are not only parents, but professional actors. As such, we feel an absolute responsibility to tell her the truth should she ask for it, and suffer unbearable agony when we imagine her getting duped by some random mall Santa. I refuse to allow her to believe that the pimply-faced teenager in a dirty rabbit costume trying to pass himself off as the Easter Bunny at brunch is real. Same goes for Times Square Minnie Mouse' (also dirty. Possibly a dude from Astoria.). Add to that the fact that Mommy has played her own share of costumed characters in her day, and that she kind of feels bitter about it (cough cough Sailor Moon cough cough. Never mention this again).
A few days ago at school, our daughter was the designated Expert of the Week' , and she chose to be an expert on Sesame Street. Her father and I had just been on the show, and it enabled her to meet some of the monsters' in person, which was generally mind blowing for all of us, and (apart from getting married and having children) very high up there on the "best day of my entire life" list.
Cue: Spoiler Alert, systematically demolishing your child's fantasies about his/her chances of casually meeting Elmo riding his tricycle in the park one day. "Any questions? No Mark. They're PUPPETS. There are puppeteers holding them up and speaking for them. They are NOT alive. Also, there is NO SUCH THING as magic…and…when you are dead you NEVER come back. EVER. What Stella? Yes. Everyone dies. Forever. Thank you." (Cue all children in room weeping).
Listen, I'm like you. I do what I can to keep my children young and adorable forever, but they keep breaking out of their terrarium anyway. Our children are not fools. They know that a penis is for something, they're just not quite sure what it is yet.
Although, I absolutely refuse to share the reason why I was trying to squeeze myself into a body slimmer. That would be detrimental. To everyone. Obviously.

The sequester cuts may be in place, but many federal agencies appear to still be hiring.
At a time when furloughs are on the table, by Monday at 6 p.m., more than 400 government job ads were posted.
Experts question the move and say it could shed light on just how these federal agencies will proceed in increasing their savings, either by attrition or letting people go.
"Every position you don't fill that isn't absolutely necessary is one less person that needs to be furloughed," Steve Ellis, vice president at Taxpayers for Common Sense, said, according to The Washington Times.
Bill Frezza, a fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, shared his thoughts on the sequester and Tuesday's stock market rally on the CBN News Channel's Morning News, March 6.
Ellis did say that some positions people vacate need to be filled to meet agencies' core missions. But establishing core missions can often be unclear and many times easily justified in job descriptions by specific agencies.
"When you say mission critical, it's a phrase without meaning," Paul C. Light, a professor at New York University, said. "Everything's mission critical. Therefore, we have no way of knowing what would be mission critical in a job description versus what is not."
Of the jobs posted, nearly a quarter were in medical and public health, 67 were in clerical and management, and another 21 were in information technology.
Critics complain that hundreds of thousands of federal employees face furlough notices, while many of these job postings are to fill low priority jobs, such as museum director and drivers for the State Department.
The White House has issued a memo urging offices to consider closely the hires they make and warned against agencies hiring outside contractors in place of lost work from federal employees.
Under sequestration, $85 billion worth of spending cuts were set into motion for most federal agencies by the 2011 debt deal.
Social Security was spared, and other big entitlements such as Medicare face only minor trims.

The U.S. Postal Service plan to delay first-class letters a full day, while eliminating thousands of mail handlers' jobs, will only make USPS services less appealing to customers.
Like the perennial proposals to eliminate Saturday mail delivery, this plan needs to be rethought. It's a short-term fix that will save $3 billion, but not the needed long-range solution for the quasi-governmental agency that faces a $14 billion loss this fiscal year.
Sure, there are dire challenges to traditional mail service posed by electronic communication - be it e-mail, text messages, or online purchasing. But a relentless strategy of postal cutbacks risks triggering a downward spiral that could only hasten a feared bankruptcy for this vital agency, which receives no taxpayer help.

When you're talking to a girl at the bar and your friend comes up to hit on her. To be properly executed, the friend must not understand that he could talk to any other girl in the place, or how shady it is that he only waits for you to break the ice for him without asking.
"Tim didn't give me a heads up that he wanted to talk to this girl, so I assumed if I talked to her I wouldn't get interrupted by him. At the very least he could just ask me to break the ice if he's shy, instead of pulling the sneaky snake."

Take that, Las Vegas.
Weâll call you on sports betting and same-day marriage. And weâll raise you on annulment.
Thatâs the high-stakes game being played in Trenton. On Thursday, an Assembly committee approved a bill that would legalize sports betting in Atlantic City. Tomorrow, a committee will be considering a bill that would legalize the same-day marriages now offered in those Las Vegas drive-in chapels.
And when it comes to annulment, our boys are prepared to up the ante. You need to live in Nevada for six weeks before you can get rid of that âPermanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling,â as the great Jimmy Buffett put it in the song of that title.
But in Jersey, either party will be able to opt out within 30 days, no questions asked.
Whatâs not to like?
Plenty, says Jon Tomicki of the Coalition to Preserve and Protect Marriage.
âThis is taking the institution of marriage and making a sham of it,â Tomicki told me when I ran into him in the Statehouse last week. âNow youâll be able to get a drive-through marriage as if you were buying a hamburger at Wendyâs. If things donât work out in the motel over the weekend, you can get an annulment.â
True enough. But as a journalist, I deemed it my duty to get the other side of the story. I soon tracked down Lou Greenwald, the Democratic assemblyman from Cherry Hill whoâs co-sponsoring the bill.
âWe got a very positive reception from Cape May,â Greenwald told me, nicely moving the whole affair up-market. âThey want more opportunities for expanding their season beyond Labor Day by attracting out-of-state weddings. We were also very surprised at the interest in the northern part of the state.â
To hear Greenwald tell it, this is just a common-sense initiative to ease red tape and âinvigorate the stateâs wedding market,â as his press release phrased it.
I had never known there was such a thing as a wedding market. But as a free-market advocate, I find it hard to disagree with that argument.
Iâll even go a bit further, citing an authority who grew up on the other side of the river from Greenwald. That would be W.C. Fields, who in one movie repeated what he said was his grandfatherâs advice: âNever give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump.â
As someone who grew up working the games on the Seaside boardwalk, I find profound meaning in those words. If some tourist wants to leave town with a lighter wallet, do the locals have a duty to dissuade him? Whether he wants to spend the money betting or wedding, it has the same effect on the Jersey Shore economy.
In that spirit, I put in a call to Ray Lesniak, the state senator whoâs behind the push for sports betting.
âUnless Atlantic City gets sports betting, itâs going to be a ghost town in 10 years,â said the Elizabeth resident. Lesniak pointed out that in Vegas âyou canât find a hotel room during the whole week before the Super Bowl.â
The same goes for the NCAA Final Four week.
The big obstacle to sports betting comes from a goodie-two-sneakers I never trusted.
Thatâs Bill Bradley, the former basketball star who moved here from Missouri and, in the great tradition of Democratic senators from this state, pushed through a bill that worked directly against New Jerseyâs interests.
In 1992, Congress passed a Bradley bill that grandfathered sports betting to states that legalized it by the end of the following year. Jersey was not among the few that qualified.
Lesniak says weâve got that licked thanks to a referendum last month that passed overwhelmingly, thus putting sports betting into our state constitution. That greatly strengthens our position in the court fight that will follow once the sports-betting bill makes its seemingly inevitable way through the Legislature, he says.
If Lesniakâs right, A.C. will soon be competing for the title of sports-betting capital of America. And if some sucker should get a sudden desire to spend his Super Bowl winnings on a wedding with the waitress, well, thereâs always what Lesniak called âthe Kardashian clauseâ of that marriage bill.
All I can say is, the entire controversy supports the position of the Republican presidential candidate Iâve always admired. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas argues that marriage â same-day, same-sex or whatever â should be a private affair in which the government should have no role whatsoever.
The smart money says heâs right.

What happened?
Boaz and I got up early. We spent some time with our Kids letting them out, playing with them, etc. We have come to learn that in order for us to go away, we need to put their dog harnesses on the night before. As soon as they see it, they know they are going on a vacation to Miss Janet?s house. J We got out of the house at 9:30 AM Saturday and drove to Washington DC. While sitting in traffic in Delaware, I had some time to reflect about all the events and all the wonderful people I have met along the way. Usually a 20-minute ride, this time it took us 60 minutes to drive the 18 miles through Delaware.
We arrived in Tyson around 3 and headed to Neiman?s. We inspected the trees and while searching, we found some wonderful pieces. We got a NM Greeting with Elves, and a pearl Telluride. I didn?t know what the pearl telluride was but when I saw it I grabbed it. I met Darlene and Jan while standing there and they too were wondering what was that ornament I just found. We chit chatted and it was nice to meet them both as Darlene, Jan and I have been emailing a trade since the Pawley?s event. We still have to work on it. LOL
We went and checked in, and then went back to Neiman?s. Met up with Terri and Billy and we had dinner with them at Legal Seafood. We spotted Patricia eating there with a friend. I always feel awkward and usually do not like to disturb people, but Patricia called us over to say hi. We had some yummy food. It was funny as when we got there we were told the wait would be an hour and a half. Twenty minutes later, our buzzer was going off.
The next day we arrived early. As we pulled up John A was arriving with his Mom, Phyllis and her friend Sandy. When Boaz was introduced to Sandy, she said, ?Boaz, wasn?t that the name of someone?s horse?. We all howled with laughter. Instead of an ornamule, I have an ornahorse?.
We all were let in and we went upstairs where they had tables all set up. We sat with John A, Phyllis, Sandy, Sharon, Lenore and Karina from NC. We had a ball and Phyllis, John?s Mom, was telling us about her escapades on a cruise ship and the men she met. She told us about a dance contest she had one with a gentleman. Breakfast was a Polish fest. They had an egg and cheese soufflé, apple sausage, and pirogues.
Patricia greeted the crowd and began calling out the complimentary ornaments. I won a wonderful Lighting the Tree (see it on Just Breen) with blue bejeweled collar and cuffs. It was beautiful. That seemed to be the prize win this time.
We were able to each select our ornaments from groups of 2. Boaz picked 35 and I picked 115. UGH. This made it very challenging for an event as one of us was always in line, while the other was trying to check out. The pieces were more fall themed as we have been waiting for these pieces. My favorite was the Tea Time with gourds. The Tea Times seem to be the real artwork pieces.
I also got an order from Tyson?s and it seemed they messed it up as I had 4 red Telluride?s in my bag and 2 Winter Sage NM Shopping Bags. The department manager came over and apologized for the mix up. I also got an extra pearl Telluride, which I gave to a friend who didn?t get one. One thing I am beginning to realize is, there are friends who help other friends and there are people who you may think are your friends but are more about helping themselves.
I had my wonderful Lighting the Tree signed. Patricia was showing me that the lights are meant to be bent outwards all crazy, but to be careful with the gems as they could easily break off. This tip made the piece look even better and I can?t wait to decorate and see this wonderful piece on the front of the tree. The gift from the studio was a black artist brush and was wonderful, as we have all been waiting for the black version. J
It was time to head back home and to go see the kids. It is hard being away from our kids, as we love them so. Pets are a wonderful. They are the only things in life to give you unconditional love.

Government programs addressing farm risk management have played a larger role in U.S. farm policy in recent years; in crop year 2013, producers enrolled more than 295 million acres in the Federal crop insurance program, and Government insurance subsidies exceeded $7 billion.
ERS analyzes farm business risks and risk management strategies, as well as Government programs that address farm risk management. Strategies investigated include:

World Circuit (record label)

World Circuit is a world-music record label, established in London in the mid-1980s, that specializes in Cuban and West African recording artists, among other international music stars. The label's credo was to be an artist-led label with all aspects of each release tailored to the artist. Twenty years later, this is still key to how World Circuit operate. World Circuit celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2006 by releasing World Circuit Presents..., a 2-disc retrospective compilation album. Its recordings are distributed by Nonesuch/Elektra Records in the USA.
1986 to 1999[edit]
In 1986, the label released its first albums, María Rodríguez's La Tremenda and Abd El Gadir Salim's Sounds of Sudan Volume One.
World Circuit's first taste of major success came in 1993 with the teaming of Ali Farka Touré and American guitarist Ry Cooder on the Grammy award-winning album, Talking Timbuktu. The album went on to sell over a million copies worldwide;[citation needed] an incredible feat for an album of its kind.
During the mid-nineties World Circuit began working with new artists, who would go on to become long-time label stalwarts. Moving away from their usual Latin and West African bias, World Circuit released the album Rumba Argelina by Spanish group Radio Tarifa. Rumba Argelina propelled them to cult fame, becoming a sensation across Europe. Another artist to make an immediate impact was Senegalese multi-instrumentalist and singer Cheikh Lô. The dreadlocked maverick's debut album Ne La Thiass was produced by Youssou N'Dour, and is underpinned by indigenous Mbalax and Flamenco rhythms.
In 1996, Cooder was invited to Havana, Cuba by British world-music producer Nick Gold of the World Circuit record label to record a session with two African High-life musicians from Mali in collaboration with Cuban musicians.[1] On Cooder's arrival (via Mexico to avoid the ongoing U.S. trade and travel embargo against Cuba),[2] the musicians from Africa had not turned up and it transpired later that they had been unable to secure their visas to travel to Cuba.
As a result, Gold and Cooder changed their plans and recorded three consecutive albums with Cuban musicians instead.[1] First,[3]:8 they recorded A Todo Cuba le Gusta by the Afro-Cuban All Stars, an album of big band Son Cubano music produced by Juan de Marcos González.[4] Second,[3]:8 they recorded the multi-million selling Buena Vista Social Club album,[5] produced by Cooder. Third,[3]:9 they recorded Introducing...Rubén González in just two days, produced by Nick Gold and arranged once again by Juan de Marcos González.[6]:1 All three albums were recorded at Egrem studios, Havana during March and April 1996 and mixed by Jerry Boys and Nick Gold at Livingston Studios, London, prior to their release on the World Circuit label in 1997.[7] In 2008 World Circuit released a 2-CD set of the Buena Vista Social Club live performance at Carnegie Hall recorded in 1998.
Nick Gold had met Jerry Boys after working together on an album with Oumou Sangaré during 1993 and they subsequently started their close collaboration with the Cuban music projects of 1996.[8] In 2001 Gold bought the Livingston Recording Studios from Boys, which enabled most of World Circuit's artists to record and mix music at Livingston Studios.
Nick Gold and World Circuit are also responsible for catapulting the legendary Senegalese band Orchestre Baobab to world fame after its 2001 re-release of the 1982 record Pirates Choice in Europe (originally compiled and released by World Circuit in 1987).[9]
2000 to 2009[edit]
Mandé Sessions trilogy[edit]
In the summer of 2004 the World Circuit team of Nick Gold and Jerry Boys travelled with a mobile studio to Mali to record a trilogy of albums at the Hotel Mandé, Bamako. The first album in the series, In the Heart of the Moon, released in June 2005, is a collaboration between Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté that went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Traditional World Music Album. Second in the series is Boulevard de l'Indépendance by Toumani Diabaté's pan-African Symmetric Orchestra, composed of musicians (mostly griots)[10] from across the old Mali Empire of west Africa, who play a mix of traditional instruments including the kora, djembe, balafon and bolombatto, as well as guitar and electronic keyboard.
The third and final part of the Mandé Sessions trilogy, Savane (released July 2006), was also the first posthumous Ali Farka Touré release. It was received with wide acclaim by professionals and fans alike and was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category "Best Contemporary World Music Album". The panel of experts from the World Music Chart Europe (WMCE), a chart voted by the leading World Music specialists around Europe, chose Savane as their Album of the Year 2006, with the album topping the chart for three consecutive months (September to November 2006).[11] The album has also been listed as No. 1 in the influential Metacritic's "Best Albums of 2006" poll,[12] and No. 5 in its all-time best reviewed albums.[13]
2010 to present day[edit]
In February 2010, World Circuit released the successor to Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté's, In The Heart Of The Moon (2005), Ali and Toumani. Recorded over three afternoons at Livington Studios, London, in 2005, with contributions from Orlando "Cachaíto" López on bass, and produced by Nick Gold, it was Touré's final studio album, and lasting legacy.
In October 2010, World Circuit released Afrocubism's self-titled debut, a long-awaited collaboration between some of Cuba's and Mali's most esteemed musicians, including Eliades Ochoa, Bassekou Kouyate, Toumani Diabaté, Lassana Diabaté and Kasse Mandy Diabaté. It was a collaboration which was initially intended to take place some 15 years earlier, but never arose as a result of visa complications. In December 2011 the album Afrocubism was nominated for a Grammy award in the category of Best Traditional World Music Album.

In January, Major League Baseball approved a protective cap for pitchers designed to minimize the injuries caused by being hit by batted balls, especially line drives.
On Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays' Todd Redmond showed off the latest model.
The safety plates, made by isoBLOX, are sewn into the hat and custom fitted. The caps weigh an extra six to seven ounces and protect the forehead, temples and sides of the head.
Designers say testing shows the caps provides protection from line drives up to 90 mph in the front of the head and 85 mph on the side.
Several pitchers have been hurt by line drives in recent years. The latest was Cincinnati Red reliever Aroldis Chapman, who was injured in March. Chapman underwent surgery for broken bones in his left eye, which required a titanium plate in his head. He also suffereda concussion and a broken nose.
When MLB's approval was announced, Bruce Foster, CEO of the 4Licensing Corporation, parent company of isoBLOX, said, "It's not going to be a [Great] Gazoo hat."

The first couple miles are a bit of a grind, but soon was treated to panoramic views of gray wolf ridge, buckhorn, and the peaks on the far side of royal basin. Sunny and warm with gusty winds and a number of ravens riding the vents along the ridge. Clouds made the views that much more interesting in every direction including out across puget sound and over to Rainer. Graywolf Ridge Puget SoundTownsend RidgeMt Rainer Instead of dropping back down to the Silver Lakes junction, I kept along Townsend ridge over to the shoulder of Welch peaks. The scene on the ground looked much more like summer than fall with a number of flowers still going strong. The number of ravens increased and their chatter kept me entertained making my way up to Welch Peak. Along the way I got a better view of my options heading down towards Silver Lakes and was pleased that the ridge also seemed to go well the entire way over to Hawk Peak. Mt Townsend I dropped down the other side of Welch and instead of continuing up along the ridge, set my course cross country to an enticing grassy overlook above Silver Lake. (the ridge would have been a better option) I dropped down a scree gully and made my way across a rock garden with spotty flowers patches that looked like mid July. Having not kept in the best hiking shape this summer I was feeling a bit gassed. I didn't make the grassy knoll I was shooting for and instead schwacked my way back to the main trail just below silver lake. Two eagles were now circling overhead like vultures. Welch Peak Silver Creek ValleyTownsend / Welch The lake was looking mighty inviting and there appeared to be nobody around. I dropped down to my skivvies and stood at the edge of dive in rock contemplating the temperature of the water. As I stood there like a weenie, I caught someone observing from the other side of the lake. Okay, in we go! The lake was far more refreshing than freezing. The gentleman and his pooch who were camping out that night came over to say hi. I shared a brew with them and looked over the map at alternatives for their exit tomorrow. Getting late, I made my way to lower Silver Lake which may have been the steepest portion of my hike. I thought there may be a way trail that connected the lower lake back to the Silver Lake Way Trail, but I was wrong. Skeeters and blow down were rough, but the low water level allowed me to rock hop most of the way. Once within ear shot of flow from the main lake, the trail was easy to find on the other side. The way trail was in good shape, weaving and winding back to the road where I had to walk about a mile back to my car. Spent and replenished.

(Coming from Bainbridge, I usually approach via the south Townsend trailhead.) It's definitely worth the last few hundred feet up to Peak 6030 (the grassy knoll above the lake) as the view up the Big Quil and of Constance is stunning. One of my favorite memories of this hike was on a chilly October day with solid high overcast and perfectly still air. All day, it was like the mountains were holding autumn's last breath. On the way back, passing the lake at dusk, the first silent flakes of snow began to fall.--------------"Forget gaining a little knowledge about a lot and strive to learn a lot about a little." - Harvey Manning Back to top Display: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1 Forum Index -> Trip Reports -> Townsend, Welch, & Silver Lakes Loop 09.23.11 Happy Birthday ahumblefool, Lightning_bug!

Mushroom dealer David Dunnell pleaded guilty to felony possession of hallucinogenic drugs and was sentenced to 90 days in county jail in Santa Clarita Superior Court Monday.
Dunnell faces 36 months of probation following his 90-day county jail sentence, where he must submit to random drug testing, probation search conditions and drug rehabilitation, said Christina Behle, Los Angeles County Deputy Public Defender.
"This time in jail has been a huge wake-up call," Behle said. "This was a hard lesson for him."
The light sentence stems from Dunnell's clean record leading up to his arrest and the likelihood of him not repeating the crime, she said.
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Narcotics Bureau detectives arrested Dunnell, 26, of Canyon Country, for felony possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms on March 12 in the 29700 block of Solamint Road.
Neighbors reported a domestic disturbance, which drew deputies to Dunnell's apartment, Lt. Brenda Cambra said. Deputies spotted a marijuana pipe in plain sight in Dunnell's home, she said.
Narcotics detectives returned later the same day with a search warrant and found more than a dozen jars of mushrooms, along with mushroom cultivating equipment, Cambra said.
The bust ranks among the largest in Santa Clarita Valley history, according to Sgt. Richard Larue of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Narcotic Bureau.
Fire Department and LAPD teams draped in hazmat suits toiled for more than three hours lugging jars of mushrooms and boxes full of mushroom-growing equipment out of Dunnell's Canyon Country apartment.
The Los Angeles County Fire Health and Hazmat crew, along with officers from the Los Angeles Police Department Crime Lab, assisted in the removal of materials from the apartment because psilocybin mushrooms are considered a biohazard, said Thomas Provost, county Fire Department hazardous materials specialist.
Each hazmat and crime lab team member's gear was thoroughly scrubbed after all the mushrooms were removed.
Dunnell begins serving his county jail sentence immediately.

What is in this article?:
- Congressional battle over dairy policy is not over
- Administrative fee
• The fight over future farm bill dairy policy has not ended as supporters of the Goodlatte and Scott Amendment have the support of a rather broad coalition of over 150 organizations including food manufacturers, grocers, retailers, restaurants, dairy processors and even several key dairy farmer organizations.
Administrative fee
Participation in DMSP would require dairy producers to pay an annual administrative fee ($100 to $2,500 depending on total annual milk production) and scale back milk production when specific IOFC trigger points are reached.
In DMSP as IOFC falls below $6 per hundredweight participating dairy producers are limited in the amount of milk they can market. The limits on milk marketing increase as IOFC declines.
To view the details of the DMSP please refer to the Congressional Research Service publication Dairy Proposals in the 2012 Farm Bill.
The Dairy Freedom Act (DFA), more commonly known as the Goodlatte and Scott Amendment (named for its sponsors, Congressmen Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and David Scott (D-Ga.), is essentially identical to the Dairy Security Act (DSA) with the exception that DFA does not contain DMSP or DPMPP.
However, DFA replaces DPMPP with a new "Dairy Producer Margin Insurance Program." Thus DFA would allow dairy producers the option for annual enrollment in a new margin insurance program that would essentially allow guaranteed IOFC from $4 to $8 in 50 cent increments.
Like the DSA, DFA removes the DPPSP, MILC and DEIP and reauthorizes the 1996 Federal Milk Marketing Order provisions.
A recent study by agricultural economists at the University of Missouri compared DSA and DFA as if they had been in effect from 2009 to 2012. The study indicated both proposals would have increased dairy producer net revenue over the period with DSA up 55 cents per hundredweight and DFA up by 48 cents per hundredweight.
However, the study indicated that DFA would have increased costs to taxpayers by about $1 billion in comparison to DSA.
Other effects included decreased dairy exports under DSA as compared to DFA. Total national milk production under the two programs would have been "virtually unchanged," however, under DFA there would have been a few instances of short-term reductions in milk supplies up to 3 percent.
On the contrary, according to the Congressional Budget Office, implementing DFA would cost slightly less than implementing DSA with DMSP.
As a Michigan State University Extensioneducator who has witnessed the process of several farm bills, I think that conventional wisdom says the current version of the farm bill with DSA will likely pass the full Senate.
However, passage of a farm bill containing DSA is less likely to pass the full House.
Also, it is quite likely the House and Senate versions of the farm bill will require major reconciliation as there are wide differences between the two chambers when it comes to funding of the Food Stamp program, known technically as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The SNAP aspect of the farm bill accounts for more than 70 percent of farm bill spending.
Currently the Senate proposes to cut SNAP spending over the next 10 years by $4 billion while the House proposes to cut $20.5 billion.

For Haute Couture, Just Spell Isaacs Backward
Now the Reagan White House vogue for elegant evening clothes has blessed Scaasi with added cachet. "This is his moment," declares New York Times fashion arbiter Bernadine Morris. Although he has never dressed the present First Lady (Mamie, Jackie and Lady Bird were customers), Scaasi has made evening gowns for such Reagan royalty as Betsy Bloomingdale, Jane Dart, Leonore Annenberg and Irene Dunne. Twice a year Scaasi discreetly seeks new converts at the fashion shows he stages for Saks Fifth Avenue in San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Houston. During a feverish day in Houston a few weeks back, he booked more than $100,000 worth of orders. A Scaasi doesn't come cheap—his dresses start at $2,800 and soar to $6,000.
His private showings dazzle with money and beauty. One recent get-together at his rarefied Fifth Avenue atelier assembled Diahann Carroll, Mrs. Douglas MacArthur, Georgiana Bronfman, Joyce Susskind and Barbara de Portage. Scaasi has also made frocks for Mrs. Johnny Carson, Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall and Barbara Sinatra—who ordered nine inaugural outfits. Raves friend and client Polly Bergen: "Arnold has designed many of my working clothes and evening gowns for 20 years. His dresses are ageless."
An early Scaasi conquest was diva Joan Sutherland who, when she first arrived at his salon in 1961, was a husky 170 pounds. The designer talked her into making her first appearance on the New York stage in a floral ball gown with an apricot-colored coat lined in the same flowery print. When Sutherland opened her coat, Scaasi recounts, the audience gasped. "For the first time in her life," he says with a dramatic pause, "I think she felt pretty."
Scaasi doesn't take on just anybody. When Barbra Streisand, fresh from her success in Funny Girl, asked him to make her some outfits, he turned her down flat. "She wasn't my kind of customer then," he explains. Scaasi quickly relented, became her sole designer and for the 1969 Academy Awards made her a black tulle jump suit covered with clear sequins and lined with flesh-colored marquisette. "She looked fabulous," he says. Alas, neither Scaasi nor Streisand had reckoned on the fact that overhead lighting and photographers' flashbulbs made the star look absolutely nude.
The designer grew up as Arnold Isaacs (Scaasi is Isaacs spelled backward) in Westmount, a wealthy Jewish enclave in Montreal where his father, Sam, an ex-furrier, had grown rich buying real estate. "I wasn't interested in sports," Arnold remembers. Instead he drew clothes. When he was 13, he moved to Melbourne, Australia, where he lived with his Aunt Ida, a dedicated fashion plate who was dressed by Schiaparelli and Chanel. After high school he studied dress design for a year in Paris' Chambre Syndicale. Then, in New York, he made an appointment with the now legendary dress designer Charles James. While waiting for James in an East Side art gallery, he was electrified by the sight of Joan Crawford walking into the room. "To this day," Scaasi says, "I remember how she was dressed—in a black broadtail coat, black velvet hat and long black tulle veil." On the spot he decided, "I'm not going back to Montreal." Instead he took a $45-a-week job with James and moved into a rooming house on the Upper East Side. When he later turned free-lance and wrote home asking for some dishes, his affluent mother sent a set of Crown Derby and an enormous candelabrum. "She had no idea of the way I was living," he says.
Scaasi's first major success came in 1955 when he went to work for Dressmaker Casuals, a major coat-and-suit house. His designs rated a full-page newspaper ad, "Coats and suits by Scaasi," which also announced his fashionably Italianate name. He started doing free-lance work for hat designer Lilly Daché, and two years later put together his first ready-to-wear line. It, too, was a smash hit, but Scaasi still nurtured dreams of making custom clothes. In 1963, after a long talk with his friend Norman Norell, he decided to take the plunge.
He has lived not to regret it. He long ago made a sweep of the design accolades, winning the Coty, Winnie and Neiman-Marcus awards. With a staff of 35 dressmakers and tailors plus five assistants, he earns well over a million dollars a year. Scaasi, who has never married, lives like a prince. His Central Park South duplex apartment and his 22-room summer house on Long Island are stocked with art by Dubuffet, Picasso, Léger and his good friend sculptor Louise Nevelson (whom he also dresses). In town, lunch is either at Le Cirque or La Cote Basque with a lady client, turned out in the very latest Scaasi. And if she isn't, she will be very soon. And what will that cost? "My clients," says Scaasi with a smile, "don't ask the price."

"She's very tiny, in height…. It seems like she had had a baby and said, 'I don't really give a s–––' … I read it on her gut," Mohr, 43, said about Milano's appearance at the Nascar Spring Cup Series Awards gala he hosted in Las Vegas on Dec. 6.
"Somebody sat in the director's chair was not wearing Spanx and I was like 'Jesus Christ!' " he continued.
Milano, 41, who is mom to 2-year-old son Milo, took the high road. "So sorry you felt the need to publicly fat-shame me. Be well and God Bless. Please send my love to your beautiful wife," the Mistresses star replied.
After fans rallied to her defense, Milano Tweeted her gratitude. "You're all lovely. Thank you for your kind words. #Appreciative."
Mohr, who also welcomed a son in 2011 with wife Nikki Cox, offered a Twitter mea culpa of sorts after the fallout.
"She's stunning. I mistakenly thought the absurdity of what I was saying would have [been] taken as a joke. #fail," he Tweeted.
In addition to Thursday's Tweet, Mohr also posted a longer apology on his blog Friday afternoon.
"I will not make excuses for what I said. Although I immediately removed that segment from my podcast, it still doesn't change the results. I know full well how much words can hurt people, having seen my wife get destroyed by the tabloids, and I am embarrassed that I didn't think before I spoke," he wrote. "Sometimes comedians go too far. I went too far. I cannot change what I said, but I can assure you that my heart is broken that I hurt her. I am very sorry."
He signed the blog post, "With the utmost sincerity, Jay Mohr."
"Apology accepted," Milano responded on Twitter, adding, "(She grunts while aggressively yet cautiously prying off her head-to-toe Spanx.) #PassTheCookies"

Incorporating Dynamics Into Your Piano Playing
Learning to play the piano at different intensities adds a whole new level of expression to your music. Dynamics are one of the features that can bring out the artistic concept of a piece. For beginners in particular, it may be difficult to create great distinctions between different dynamics, but before you even start trying to make these distinctions, you'll need to be able to recognize the written dynamics on a score.
How Are Dynamics Expressed on Sheet Music?
Dynamics are volume markings written as symbols or abbreviations of words in Italian. They frequently appear in music written for the piano as well as for orchestral instruments. While dynamics can be expressed in many ways, there are a few very common forms to note. The most common are:
- pp – pianissimo – very soft
- p – piano – soft
- mp – mezzo piano – quite soft
- mf – mezzo forte – quite loud
- f – forte – loud
- ff – fortissimo – very loud
- fp – fortepiano – loud and then soft
- sfz – sforzando – sudden accent
Crescendo (gradually getting louder) and diminuendo (gradually getting softer) can be expressed as an elongated "<" symbol or cresc., or an elongated ">" symbol or dim., respectively.
Piano Dynamics Playing Tips
It is essential to pay close attention to what you are playing; if you don't, it becomes impossible to play a wide range of dynamics. This may seem obvious, but often the attention of the pianist is focused on what his or her hands are doing and not the sound being created by the piano.
Beginners are particularly susceptible to two major mistakes: first, exerting random pressure on the keys and hoping for the best; second, imagining they are playing dynamics correctly when they actually aren't. To avoid these problems, it's important to train your ears to really listen to what you're playing.
A Simple Exercise to Practice Piano Dynamics
Begin playing simple scales or chromatic runs with one hand, aiming for a forte sound. When you are able to play forte comfortably, try to reach the same volume using just the weight of your fingers, while ensuring your wrist does not fall out of position. Repeat with your other hand and continue practicing until you have mastered the dynamic consistently with both hands.
Next, repeat the same exercise, but this time try to play softer. This can be achieved by sinking your fingers into the piano key instead of dropping onto it quickly. Remember that the piano dynamics should still be loud enough that listeners can hear easily. A little quieter than this should create pianissimo, while a little louder allows you to play mezzo-piano. As you progress, you should be able to recognize and play with distinct differences between all the dynamics.
Using the Pedals to Enhance Piano Dynamics
Unlike other musicians, you have the huge advantage of built-in piano dynamics by using the pedals. Most pianos have two pedals: the sustain or damper pedal on the right, and the soft pedal on the left. Some pianos may also have a third pedal in the middle called the sostenuto pedal, also played with the left foot. The pedals are played by pressing down with the ball of the foot and the toe while the heel remains on the floor at all times.
For dynamic purposes, the soft pedal is the most important, as it makes creating softer dynamics much easier while giving the sound a more distant feel. While principal use of the sustain pedal is to continue sound after a key is released, this pedal also helps to make a sound warmer and more intense, and is useful for louder dynamics. On sheet music, the word "ped." appears when the sustain pedal should be depressed and "*" when it should be released. The middle pedal is less important and appears infrequently on sheet music.
Incorporating piano dynamics into your playing will add texture to your music. The first stage to mastering this is the ability to recognize symbols and words, to ensure you are using the piano dynamics as the composer intended. Then, you can practice the technique by paying close attention to the sound you create. Once you have this down, your music will have that added emotion every player hopes to evoke!

Celebrate a culture of unique history, rich foods, and colorful arts and entertainment at the McAllen Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, October 5 and 6. Gates open at noon! This year's Palm Fest is shaping up to be one of the greatest events in the Rio Grande Valley for the fall season. Over 40,000 guests are expected to join in the festivities at the Convention Center and the surrounding Oval Park and Reflecting Pond.
This year's list of attractions is bigger than our appetite for fun. Take a look at what you can expect:
Inside the Convention Center, guests can explore the makings of local artists and discover gripping ancient stories of the area as well as the Larger Rail exhibit, and all-time favorite attraction. Artisans will showcase their handcrafted pottery and leather works. The McAllen Heritage Center, museum of local culture and history, will engage guests in a blast from the past with displays of our vibrant history.
The experience is carried outside, in the Oval park, where guests can journey through Heritage Village, an area transformed into an authentic cowboy campsite and a colorful American Indian Village - complete with tipi's and exciting traditional performances. Witness Civil War re-enactments outside and suited actors that roam the festival grounds throughout the weekend. Watch out for the legendary revolutionary Pancho Villa or the comical Garfield and Odie!
Bring the kids along to enjoy a little storytelling and magic. Brought back by popular demand, the South Texas College will provide a Mother Goose Story Telling area for all the kids. Join the fun at Lonesome Dove stage as warm-hearted magician John O'Bryant takes his audience on a magical, educational adventure. Other popular local storytellers and musicians will join the line-up, too. HEB brings back the Teach the Children Fun Tent and the famous Kidsville area, strictly catered to provide hours of fun entertainment.
Expect the fiercest cooking competition with a heated Fajita Cookoff, including five cooking categories that reflect the Rio Grande Valley culture - frijoles, pan de campo, mollejas, and traditional and gourmet fajitas.
But wait, there's more! Guests can find three live entertainment stages throughout the Convention Center. Each stage will feature a diverse mix of local performers and musical talent - Indian, Folkloric, Middle Easter, Belly Dancing, and much more. The unique performances don't stop there! Rancho El Caballo, the dancing horse show, is back after garnering record-breaking crowds last year. CarFest is always a huge hit at Palm Fest, too. Surf the grounds riddled with an exquisite line-up of classic automobiles.
Take a break from the entertainment and special shows by visiting El Mercado Arts & Crafts outdoor shopping area or by renting a Paddle Boat to float joyously along the Reflecting Pond.
Valley folk are experts at coordinating events and celebrations of epic proportions. There's plenty to see and do during the two-day Palm Fest event in McAllen.

Rez Review PS2
Rez is genuinely one of, if not the most inspired, inspiring, amazing, venerable games in memory. A landmark game in every respect.
Gun Valkyrie Review Xbox
While the developers have made a game that, once mastered, is excellent, the initial difficulty will be too tough for most gamers.
Aggressive Inline Review Cube
If you love extreme sports games, this is a no-brainer. Go and get the game
IGI 2: Covert Strike Review PC
Nobody does it better. Well actually yes they do, but this isn't a bad attempt at a Bond-a-like. Spy, sneak, shoot, save - all the S words are here.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Review Cube
When playing Wind Waker, it's impossible not to succumb to its charm and unashamed freedom of imagination. Zelda: The Wind Waker is a work of genius. Make the most of it.
Midtown Madness 3 Review Xbox
Make no mistake. The single player game is fun, but doesn't warrant a purchase. However, the same game on Xbox Live is the most entertaining game available for the service and will eat away your time.
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising Review GBA
Advance Wars 2 is one of the greatest turn-based-strategy games ever made. If you own a GBA you really should own this game

With the right friends, the right equipment and the right attitude, this is as sprawling and brilliant a multiplayer adventure as you're ever likely to find
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow Review Cube
Pandora Tomorrow is an extremely competent yet often soulless stealth title. This butchered GameCube version can only be recomended to those who solely own that system.
Far Cry Review PC
The influences from Halo are obvious (although not to say intrusive) and Far Cry has set the bar for next gen shooters high indeed and deserves a place in your collection.
