Corrupted fonts after resume from ram
I've finally found searching across many forums the solution for my i915 graphic card.
My card is: "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)".
The problem is: After resuming from ram, some letter have a missing orizzontal line, for example I see ¦ instead of |. Another thing is that sometime, after resuming, the cpu goes to 100% of usage with no apparent reason.
The solution is: Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf (if it doesn't already exist) and add to it the line "options drm_kms_helper poll=N".
I cannot understand this mystery but now I can use "Suspend to ram" as many times as I want. —This unsigned comment is by Livix (talk) 13 August 2013. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
There is no i915.powersave option
It's probably some mistake. I have an HD Graphics 4000 and I note no "powersave" option in output of
modinfo -p i915 and
systool -m i915 -av commands. This is the output of both commands: modprobe, systool.
--Shau-kote (talk) 13:18, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- Lack of powersave parameter for i915 confirmed as of today with xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+691+ga77397a-1 (on both an Atom Pineview and Core i3 Ivy boxes). Also by dmesg:
[ 0.980110] i915: unknown parameter 'powersave' ignored [ 1.069323] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20160229 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0

[drm:intel_pipe_update_start [i915]] *ERROR* Potential atomic update failure on pipe A
Maybe the solution to get rid of the above dmesg log spamming could be mentioned? You just add `options i915 enable_psr=0` to the file `/etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf`. Bjourne (talk) 17:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
The new intel driver is a little bit faster than modesetting
Modesetting was faster and better then xf86-video-intel, but after 09/04 upgrade, xf86-video-intel is 10%-20% faster. Do you noted the difference?

Something tawdry is showy but cheap and of poor quality.
To find the source of this word we must travel to Ely, a city whose cathedral dominates the flat fen landscape of East Anglia. Long before the cathedral was built, a small religious house had been established there in the seventh century by Ethelreda, the daughter of King Anna of East Anglia. She died in 679. Sixty years later the Venerable Bede wrote that her death had been caused by a growth in her throat, which she had said was a punishment for wearing necklaces in her youth.
She eventually became the patron saint of Ely, under the Norman French name of St Audrey, and her feast day, 17 October, was celebrated by a fair. One of the favourite items sold was a band of fine silk lace or ribbon worn about the neck in memory of the city's patron saint. This became known as St Audrey's lace, but by the end of the sixteenth century it had been corrupted to tawdry lace.
Eventually the first word was taken to be a description; by the nature of goods sold at fairs they often looked good until the buyer got them home, so the word became attached to such cheap and showy items, and not just at Ely.

Google employees get 20% of their time to work on non-assigned projects. Sometimes when they do, the result is some pretty cool stuff that Google adds to its products.
This time, Google has announced that two 20% projects have made their way into Google Labs (aka Google's experimental playground). The two projects are "Similar Images" and "Google News Timeline."
Last week, we brought you word that Google News had introduced a "Timeline of Articles." This new timeline that's launching in Labs is different.
The Labs timeline looks like a calendar with a bunch of news stories. An on-site scrollbar helps users find more stories for a given day:
Meanwhile, Similar Images does pretty much what the name implies. Start off by searching for an image. In this case, I typed in the name of one of my favorite shows on TV, Chuck (starring Zachary Levi, don't cancel it, NBC, don't!):
In the results, I look for an image I'm interested in and click the blue link underneath that says "Similar Images"
As you can see, the results are really good!
You may remember that recently the official Google Image search recently added a color filter. It works quite good as well. It's nice to see these advances in image search from the Google team.

PHILADELPHIA — After Wednesday night's 6-5 win over the hated Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers forward Jake Voracek got to celebrate his first career hat trick as he scored with 10 seconds left in the second period and twice more in the third, including the game-winner with less than two minutes to play.
"I don't think I had much there," Voracek said of the game-winner that went off Pens keeper Tomas Vokoun from behind the net. "(Brooks) Orpik was right there (defending). I just tried to put it in the net, maybe, or get the rebound, but it went in."
He also had four assists against the New York Islanders on Monday, bringing his two-game total to seven points.
"You know, it's been good, getting some space especially on the power play because (we) can count on it. They have some good players over there and I'm just glad we could get two points," Voracek said of the Penguins, who were in a tie for first place in the Atlantic Division with the New Jersey Devils before the Devils took on the Washington Capitals on Thursday.
Turns out, Voracek will need to keep his game up as it was announced shortly before Thursday's game against the Florida Panthers that Flyers' forward Matt Read will be out approximately six weeks due to torn rib muscles. Read was hit by the Pittsburgh Penguins' Chris Kunitz during Wednesday's game and did not return to action. Through 18 games, Read led the team in goals with seven and was fourth in points with 13.
Voracek is now first on the team with 19 points and also first in assists after Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers, who won the season series, 2-1, over the Flyers. The 23-year-old finished the game with a third-period goal on a team-high five shots.
Other than Voracek's ability to pass and score, he's been putting on clinics when it comes to the forecheck as he can pinch and hold possession in the offensive zone, as well as kill off some clock when needed.
He's also one of the faster skaters on the ice at any time.
"The big thing for me is his skating right now," Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette said of Voracek on Wednesday. "He's really moving his feet and that's really where Jake was at his best last year. … He's fast and he's quick, and that's a dangerous combination.
"I think once you get through the first eight games or so and get to the speed he needs to be at, then he becomes a really dangerous player because he's skilled as well. So he's been a good fit with G (Claude Giroux) and he hangs onto the puck, which means G doesn't have to hang on to it all the time, so it's a good combination."
The bottom line is that with Scott Hartnell slowly making his comeback, Danny Briere still struggling, Giroux scoring less than anyone expected and now Read's injury, No. 93 is going to have a lot of eyes on him for the rest of the season, which is about a third of the way completed.
And to be completely honest, with the way Voracek has been playing the last few weeks, this reporter has nothing but faith in the young speedster.

Want to be on the first page of Google? We can get you there.
If you are looking to be on the first page of the search results, search engine optimization is how to make that possible. Google, as well as the other search engines, want you to optimize your website in such a way that they know what each page is about. This in turn helps the search engines return results that are relevant to what the searcher is looking for. The websites that are best optimized have a higher chance of getting to #1 position. As an SEO Company we provide seo services to help you get as close to the #1 position as possible. We do this by staying up to date with the algorithm changes of the search engines and implementing white hat SEO strategies that are Google friendly.
We have a track record of getting Arizona businesses to #1 in Google.
Southwest Sod is a sod farm located in Arizona and they have been around since 1985. However, there were several companies outranking them in the search engines. By using proper SEO techniques we were able to get them to #1 for their desired keyword "Sod" in Arizona (see our case studies page for more examples).
Example of a client in the #1 position in Google:
Keywords: The difference maker
A lot has changed over the years when it comes to the way that search engines rank web pages. The ultimate goal of a search engine is to provide the best results for the end user. It does this by crawling millions of websites and then returning the results that best reflect what the user was searching for. But how do I get the search engine choose my site in its listings? Well, it is simple, but it is not easy. The content of your website needs to contain keywords as well as semantic keywords that tell Google and the rest of the search engines that a page on your site is worth ranking. It needs to be valuable and answer the person's query that they were searching for. Often times people think that having a good looking site will be enough, but what good is it if no one sees it?
That is why we focus on discovering the keywords that your target audience is searching to find the products and/or services that you provide. While in some cases we can go after short keywords, we will have to do an in depth analysis of your competition to determine if that is a realistic approach.
Domain Authority and why it matters
Domain Authority is what we use now in the SEO world to determine how authoritative a website is in the eyes of a search engine. It is a scale of 1-100 where one is just starting out and 100 means you have a site that ranks with the likes of Wikipedia. Websites that have a high domain authority have a better chance of going after shorter, more competitive keywords because Google views their websites as more credible. Domains with a lower domain authority will need to aim at long tail keywords, that is, keywords that are longer in nature. generally speaking, the longer the keyword is, the less competition there is for that particular keyword. However, if you invest in a long term link building campaign, then you can improve your domain authority which then will allow you to go after shorter, more competitive keywords.

Diagnosing Your Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that develops in the bone marrow when normal, antibody-producing plasma cells become malignant myeloma cells.
The myeloma cells build up in the bone marrow, forming tumors in many bones of the body and preventing the bone marrow from creating healthy blood cells that your body needs to function properly.
The diagnosis of multiple myeloma is often initiated during routine blood tests for other conditions and is difficult to confirm on the basis of any single laboratory test result. Accurate diagnosis generally results from consideration of a variety of factors, including physical evaluation, patient history, symptoms, and lab results.
A number of laboratory tests and medical procedures are used to help confirm a diagnosis of myeloma, including bone marrow biopsy and imaging tests such as x-ray, CT scan or PET scan. Your doctor will determine the appropriate tests for you.
Your Treatment Options
Because of ground-breaking research and clinical trials at Winship and elsewhere, treatments for multiple myeloma are changing every day. Our doctors and researchers are studying the genetic components of multiple myeloma and using that knowledge to come up with better, more targeted drugs and individualized therapies.
The goal of controlling multiple myeloma as a chronic disease, or even curing it, is within reach.
Your treatment options will be tailored to your diagnosis based on the stage of your multiple myeloma and other factors such as lifestyle, age, and general health.
Chemotherapy: Multiple myeloma is sensitive to different combinations of chemotherapy, which may involve one or a combination of anticancer drugs that destroy cancer cells.
Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplantation: This treatment consists of destroying cancerous bone marrow cells by using higher doses of chemotherapy and in some cases, radiotherapy, and then replacing them with healthy bone marrow or stem cells to help patients regain a new and healthy immune system. Winship has pioneered many advances in bone marrow transplant procedures and drugs.
Targeted drugs and combination therapies: Recently, the U.S. FDA approved a number of new drugs that use the patient's immune system to fight multiple myeloma. Winship has pioneered the use of these drugs in combination with front-line therapies.
In addition to delivering the highest quality medical care, we recognize the importance of the psychological and emotional aspects of living with a cancer diagnosis and of dealing with treatment. Our supportive oncology team addresses these issues in a timely manner with additional support from counselors, nurse navigators, dietitians and social service professionals.

CORNELIUS -- The stack of brown paper packages awaiting U.S. Postal Service carrier Lisa Allen when she got to work at 7 a.m. Thursday -- one of the busiest mail delivery days of the year -- was big, if not as big as the stacks she has delivered in Christmases past.
Inside the canvas cart sat gift boxes from Harry & David, packages from Arkansas, Texas and Washington, even a robin's egg blue shoe box sealed with duct tape. For a few days now Allen and her fellow carriers have wondered when a crush of cards and packages will make their jobs super busy. That crazy delivery day, like Christmas morning for eager kids, seems slow to arrive this year.While Portland area mail clerks stamped 1.8 million cards and letters Monday, the busiest mailing day of the year -- and a surprising 2.7 percent increase compared to last year -- volume nationwide has declined since the 1980s. Revenue dropped so much that the U.S. Postmaster General last January warned of dropping delivery to five days a week.
Though the number of letters and cards continues to sink, the number of packages increased this holiday season, postmasters say. Portland's busiest mailing day this year is nearly double the volume stamped on a routine Monday any other time of year, said spokesman Ron Anderson. And those figures don't include packages, manila envelopes, magazines, bills or credit card applications.
In an age of texting, e-mail and Tweeting, the Postal Service says "electronic diversion" is the chief source for the shrinking numbers of cards and letters. On the street level, where a mail truck's rubber tires hit the road, it sometimes seem that if we didn't get junk mail, we wouldn't get any mail at all.
The trend meant fewer red or green envelopes Thursday in Cornelius to be tucked in the narrow mail slots no bigger than a finger where Lisa Allen sorted mail before leaving for the day's delivery.
If the next four hours behind the wheel would not be not as hectic as some have been in the past, the day still started the same: With Allen and her co-workers gathering before dawn to sort the mail as a radio pumped an endless stream of Christmas carols.
Allen, a 46-year-old Hillsboro mother of two who looks forward to having her three grandchildren spend Saturday night with her so they can bake sugar cookies together, has been a rural mail carrier for 15 years.
In that time, she has seen the decline of hand-written notes and the rise of Netflix. She has seen postcards dwindle and email rise. She started delivering to 500 but the number has climbed to 900 as volume shrank, and has memorized them all. "It's overwhelming in the beginning but it gets easier over time," she says.
In boom times, she delivered bonus checks. In lean times, she sees more change-of-address notices.
Cornelius carriers like her deliver to about 4,500 customers; another 1,000 get their mail in a post office box. The delivery boundary looks a little like Italy, says postmaster Kerry Jeffrey, wedged as it is between Hillsboro and Forest Grove.
Cornelius is the kind of post office where a customer brings in popcorn balls for the carriers at Christmastime, a former postmaster drops by with a plate of cookies and candy and the carriers wear Santa earrings and red socks patterned with candy canes and tree ornaments.
Allen doesn't see much of her customers unless she's delivering certified mail but they sometimes leave a little something for her in the mail box this time of year: a greeting card from an elderly patron, a box of Moose Munch from a business, a Starbucks card.
Allen's family lives close by so she doesn't ship many gifts or packages to relatives. She does send Christmas cards, though, and while she pays her bills online because it's easier, she likes to receive mailed statements for her records.
Job security, you might say.
No matter what Santa delivers, postmaster Jeffrey doesn't see mail carriers going out of business anytime soon. He cites history and the critics who said the invention of the telephone would close post offices. Then it was the fax machine. Then e-mail.
But as Jeffrey says, "We're still here."

Barwinski: 'Frac-tured' community or balanced development?
April 7, 2014
We have a "frac-tured" community with divergent views on oil and gas development. Perhaps a way forward is to begin where there is a growing consensus. I have found when people feel safe enough to speak their minds, most residents agree: Drilling for oil and gas next to schools and having large batteries of flammable oil tanks in neighborhoods just doesn't make sense.
The headline and graphic photo in the Tribune declared "Massive explosion at drilling site," on March 5. It took 18 firefighters from three municipalities four hours to bring it under control. Thankfully, this industrial accident happened at a site that provided an adequate setback from homes. Neighbors were "rocked out of their beds" to the sight of a "fire that could be seen for miles" — but there were only minor injuries and no evacuations. A well blow-out in Windsor in February, 2013 took more than 30 hours to get it under control, with an impact area more than 1,500 feet. If either of these accidents happened at the proposed South Directional well-site, where drilling will occur only 478 feet from the elementary school playground at Frontier Academy, the accident could quickly become a tragedy.
The potential for industrial accidents and spills aside, neighbors are rightly concerned about noise from 24/7 drilling, increased truck traffic, toxic emissions, decreased property values and potential health impacts from the unprecedented concentration of wells less than a mile from all of our homes.
A starting place for a common-sense, balanced approach to oil and gas development would be developing a community standard based on Greeley's Development Code and Comprehensive Plan that avoids sensitive locations, such as Frontier, and places sensible limits on the number of tanks in areas such as Midtown. These two proposed sites are particularly troubling because they are exempt from the protective setbacks adopted by the state in August 2013. The operations at Frontier would need to be pushed back to at least 1,000 feet to afford Greeley's children the minimum protections established for schools in Colorado. Midtown Directional on 16th Street and 4th Avenue, would drill 24 wells in a neighborhood where apartment buildings and homes will be closer than the new 500 feet minimum setback for residences. Given that both plans call for at least 20 tanks, one could argue that sensible setbacks should be even larger.
Because Greeley lost the effort to ban drilling in 1992, city officials often point their finger at the state for "tying their hands" on this issue. State officials point right back at Greeley and say Greeley never objects to any plan. Citizens lose when both levels of governments abdicate their roles to protect public health and safety. On Tuesday, the Greeley Planning Commission will have a chance to enforce city code and reject the site at Frontier Academy. In doing so, they would not be banning fracking or denying the benefits that oil and gas development has brought to the community. They would simply be making a prudent planning decision to protect the health and safety of children, and help us all move toward the goal of more balanced development.
Sara Barwinski is a member of Weld Air and Water, and lives 750 feet from a drill site.

Running In London
What might drive somebody to hop out of bed in the early morning hours and keep running in London for innumerable miles before a great many people even hear the caution go off? It is safe to say that they are insane? Possibly, yet most likely not. When somebody commits themselves to running in London, whether as a street to get in shape, have more vitality, look better, or essentially carry on with a sound way of life, they start to understand the full scope of advantages running in London gives. Running in London then turns into a propensity. For some, it even turns out to be to some degree a fixation (a great one). The "runner's high" is simply something they must have. Running in London is around significantly more than simply being fit as a fiddle and looking great. It gives an incredible mental getaway amid the run. Running in London permits your psyche to run free and contemplations to stream. It gives stress alleviation as one can not just feel great amid and after the activity (as those endorphins get pumping), yet can unwind and appreciate the run, the occasion. For some, running in London turns into an otherworldly thing. The test for some starting runners is coming to the heart of the matter of propensity. While they may be roused amid the first weeks of running in London, they fall into the trap of coming up with straightforward reasons to take a morning off and after that end up losing inspiration. Check whether this sounds well known: Someone chooses to begin racing to get into shape. They run 3-4 days for every week for two weeks. Week three arrives and Monday morning the wake up timer goes off while they are comfortable in quaint little inn think, "I've been doing as such great I'll treat myself to a morning off and some additional rest." Just that one morning off at an early stage can make a big deal difficulty for some as they may take another keep running in London off or considerably more, along these lines deferring them from getting into the propensity for running in London or keeping from ever notwithstanding getting into the propensity. In the event that you are new to running in London or simply attempting to get once more into the mode, help yourself out and stay with your arrangements right off the bat. Do the straightforward things like laying out your running in London rigging the prior night to persuade you the following morning. Run reliably for 4-6 weeks, at any rate, and you'll be on track to a sound existence of activity. Consistency is the key and staying roused is the way. Run! It is ordinary for there to be days when runs simply are not as simple as others. Those days here and there ought not be mistaken for absence of advancement, rather ought not out of the ordinary now and again. Your positive mental state of mind will permit you to meet people's high expectations on those days. In the event that preparation for a marathon, it is not unprecedented to encounter a week some place late in preparing where you appear to hit a square. Once more, simply know about that and permit your mental stamina to push you through.
Running In UK
To begin with, consider your pace. Is it true that you are attempting to run too quick toward the start of your preparation runs? Assuming this is the case, that couldn't just prompt a more troublesome run, however after some time can prompt overtraining. Make sure to guide into every run and guarantee that you can inhale effectively while running in UK. You ought to have the capacity to talk serenely with a running in UK accomplice (or fanciful companion if running in UK alone) amid the run. Run an agreeable pace that permits you to finish the keep running in UK without panting for air. Second, examine your eating regimen and recuperation time. The eating regimen can majorly affect the execution of your preparation runs. Much the same as whatever else in life, you receive in return what you put into it. Starches give fuel, yet protein is expected to repair muscle filaments. Make certain to have a sugar and protein rich nibble inside of thirty minutes taking after every rushed to offer your body some assistance with recovering and set itself up for the following run. Mull over the measure of time you are permitting between every keep running in UK for recuperation. Maybe a slight change in your calendar may permit more recuperation time and prompt better results. Third, commit more opportunity to adding to the correct outlook and building mental stamina. One simple strategy is to take only 5-10 minutes to lay discreetly with your eyes shut and envision yourself finishing a charming run. On the off chance that you expect the run or some piece of it to be a test, then imagine yourself in your brain drawing closer the snag and pushing through the completion. This straightforward practice will get your subliminal personality working for you, going about as a warmth looking for rocket to bring your vision into reality. I can't sufficiently stretch the advantages of this straightforward activity or in building mental stamina for separation running in UK. Once more, it is regularly the easily overlooked details that have a major effect. Whether you are as of now gaining positive ground or simply attempting to begin, dependably take a gander at the seemingly insignificant details and do the easily overlooked details right. As of late, I was asked what my assessment is on moderate runners. All the more particularly, "are moderate London runners destroying the game?" Should somebody not lift weights in light of the fact that others are more grounded? Should somebody not read a book in light of the fact that others read quicker? Should the Detroit Lions not appear to their football games on the grounds that alternate groups are better? Should somebody not run on the grounds that different runners are speedier? Why might somebody give it a second thought if less expedient runners are completing marathons? All things considered, the quicker runner does not need to stress over the less rapid runners getting in their direction or backing them off since they would be behind the speedier runner. Having more members in marathons likewise makes an all the more energetic air at occasions with more fan backing for all runners. The main thing I can legitimately estimate is that with the developing number of individuals completing marathons, some accomplished marathoners may feel their achievements are decreased, in their own particular eyes or according to others.
London Marathon
In case that you want to have loved ones give a shout out to you amid your up and coming London marathon, then make certain they can really see you and that you can see them. Get a guide of the course (regularly accessible online at the occasion's site) and much consider reaching the administration of the course to figure out the best places for your companions or family to see you. Don't simply take a gander at the guide and say, "See you at mile 5, 17, 21, and 26.2." These ranges may not be available to onlookers. Don't simply accept they can get to those focuses. They may not! Talking as a matter of fact, it is a noteworthy dissatisfaction to hope to see your supporters at a particular point and they are not there when you arrive. While you know they need to be there, you additionally know they can't be there. Discussing you seeing them, anticipate that there will be loads of individuals cheering in the ranges you hope to see your supporters and realize that it might be hard to hear them or effectively see them. They might need to convey a sign or something they can hold up to draw in your consideration. Consider wearing something brilliant. You don't need your supporters to be at the normal spot and not have the capacity to see you! I am not proposing this, but rather amid my first London marathon, I saw a shaggy gentleman wearing a pink tutu and pink cowpoke cap. You will never see me wearing that, however the fact of the matter is to destroy something that stands so your supporters can without much of a stretch spot you in a gathering of runners. In case that you won't have individual supporters to applaud you, then consider printing your name on your shirt. The lift you will get will be astonishing and make the London marathon or half London marathon a good time for you as aggregate outsiders root for you. Ensure your supporters know where they can see you, ensure they CAN see you, and get support from outsiders. Listening to perky music before a run is a fun and simple approach to increase additional inspiration amid a run and to make long runs more charming. What gets your blood pumping? My undisputed top choice is still the Rocky IV Soundtrack. The tunes are energetic and have intense, motivating verses that play in my mind late in my runs when I require it most. As one melody goes, "In the warrior's code, there's no surrender. In spite of the fact that his body cries stop, his soul cries… NEVER!" Wow! I'm getting pumped up simply composing that! Discover something that moves you and identifies with you. I know a few individuals like to wear earphones amid runs. Be that as it may, I urge you to not wear earphones while preparing unless you are running in the UK on a treadmill. While you may appreciate listening to music while you run, earphones can be very hazardous since they restrict your capacity to hear what is happening in your environment. For example, In case that you are booming music into your ears, you won't not hear the screeching tires surrounding you or somebody coming up behind you.

Sales tax hike sought for mental health
If the mental health professionals in Island County had it their way, the commissioners would exercise their right to impose a sales tax increase to help beef up mental health programs.
Mike Merringer, Island Countys administrator for Juvenile and Family Court Services, and Jackie Henderson, Human Services director with the county health department, made a presentation to the commissioners Monday afternoon. The duo laid out exactly what a sales tax hike of one-tenth of one percent, the amount allowed by the state code, would buy.
The recommendations were formulated by the Mental Health Initiative Task Force, a group formed last November.
The code stipulates that the sales and use tax would be used exclusively for chemical dependency and mental health treatment services. In 2006 the tax would have netted $877,000 in Island County.
Prior to the presentation, Stan Baxter with Compass Health described a dire mental health situation. The community mental health center serving Whidbey and Camano islands has been forced to contend with staff cutbacks and a population with sizable needs.
The bottom line is that Compass can only serve Medicaid clients, Baxter said. We cant respond to the needs of people with private insurance or no insurance.
Baxter said the county tax initiative would be an opportunity to design and deliver mental health services locally.
Merringer, coming from a legal angle, described the therapeutic court program that the tax dollars would fund. Therapeutic court has special calendars or dockets designed for the intense judicial supervision, coordination and oversight of treatment provided to parents and families who have substance abuse or mental health problems, and who are involved in dependency proceedings.
Merringer said therapeutic drug courts are designed to reduce child abuse and neglect, out of home placement of children, termination of parental rights and substance abuse or mental health symptoms among parents or guardians and their children. A four-year study of therapeutic drug court programs in California showed an overwhelming effectiveness.
The funds would also help enhance the countys adult and juvenile drug courts.
Merringer said the financial benefit for the programs speaks volumes. Taxpayers would benefit to the tune of $353,900 per year for the three programs alone.
Henderson stepped in to tackle the mental health services side for the uninsured, what she called the biggest problem in Island County.
The cracks have become huge holes and many, many people are falling through them, she said.
Thousands need mental help
According to the 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 30 percent of Island Countys population has a diagnosed mental illness and at least 10 percent of the residents do not have health insurance. The percentages equate to an estimated 2,300 people who have mental illness and no way to pay for treatment.
Depression is a particularly costly and prevalent mental health issue for Americans. Estimates show that the economic burden annually is as high as $89 billion translating to $278 per person and an impact of over $21 million dollars each year for Island County.
Henderson said the reality is that uninsured and underinsured residents ultimately end up in the emergency room. And compounding the problem, 89 percent of frequent ER visitors reportedly have an alcohol or other drug disorder, a mental illness, or both.
The hospital has nowhere to refer them. And so the revolving door begins, Henderson said, adding that the average cost of an ER room psychiatric visit is $3,000 to $4,500 and the cost of an inpatient psychiatric hospital bed in Washington is more than $1,000 a day.
What would the new tax funding buy? It would double the mental health professionals in the four county school districts. Henderson underscored the gravity of the mental health problems in schools.
Mental health problems affect one in five children, she said. These numbers are pretty astounding.
Depression in middle school and high school students is prevalent. Twelve percent of eight-graders, 16 percent of 10th-graders, and 12-percent of 12th-graders said they have seriously considered suicide in the past year, studies show.
Severe depression hits Island County youth really hard. More students reported being severely depressed than using illegal drugs, Henderson said. The contingent of mental health professionals in the room Monday could attest to the problem, she continued. They see a lot of this.
Through counseling, education, outreach, consultation and referrals, approximately 80 students or families could be served on a weekly basis.
The Senior and Vulnerable Adult Outreach Program is another important piece of the mental health puzzle. The older demographic struggles with prescription medication and alcohol addiction, leading to devastating side effects and ultimately an untimely demise.
They become very isolated, very fearful, Henderson said. And then they call 911.
Calls to I-COM from seniors can cost the county between $15,000 to $20,000 a year.
This program would assist them in getting the services they need, she said. Referrals would come from senior services, law enforcement, the hospital, and other agencies. Between 35 and 50 seniors would be served; a drop in the bucket, but a very important drop and in a very important bucket.
The situations in the county jail and juvenile detention center are equally dire. Forty to 80 percent of jail inmates have a mental illness and/or a substance abuse problem, and 20 percent of those have a severe mental illness.
Expanding the mental health services at the jail and juvenile detention center would provide crisis counseling, mental health assessments and treatment, and referral services. The program would serve 10 individuals a week in the jail and between one and two in the detention center.
The advisory committee was made up of a cross section of the community. It will work on planning and budgeting and finalize the phasing in process and timeline.
This initiative is an opportunity we cant pass up, Henderson said, urging the county commissioners to act as soon as possible.
Drug court prosecutor Colleen Kenimond implored the commissioners to impose the tax, which would provide more money for treatment of the uninsured.
The best weve got right now is drug court, the Mount Vernon attorney said, adding that it reunites families strengthens the workforce and in the long run increases the tax base. She said the initiative would be a boon for the program. What an opportunity.
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said the initiative would help bring the drug court up to national standards. Additionally, the mentally ill are frequently victims of crimes and can make unconvincing witnesses, precluding convictions. Offering treatment would help stem the problem.
Its good policy, its humane, he said.
Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said the jail staff members are not mental health professionals, but they are often serving in exactly that capacity. He emphasized the need to reduce recidivism and expressed his concern about the vulnerable senior population that often resorts to unnecessary 911 distress calls. Further, Brown is worried about the youth. Suicide and depression can ultimately result in violence in schools, he said.
Tom Pacher, county public defender, said the county is already paying for the mental health issues as victims, and through assaults, property damage and the drain to families.
We see it on the back end, he said.
Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen said she is distressed by the lack of human services. She voiced her support for the initiative.
Do this today so that we can start tomorrow, she said.
The board was not able to vote on the initiative Monday. The county code will first need to be changed and a public hearing held. Commissioner John Dean applauded the work of the professionals assembled at the presentation and took no pains to hide his support for the tax.
Youre all on the front lines of what is tantamount to a war, he said. Its a no-brainer for me.
raises doubts
Commissioner Mac McDowell was concerned that higher levels of government could vacate funding granted in the past and leave the lower level holding the bag, in this case the taxpayers. He also said for the group of county residents on fixed incomes, the tax increase could prove substantial. He qualified his concerns by saying that he was not denouncing the initiative.
Commissioner Mike Shelton has been involved with mental health since being elected. He said a problem lies with a system that deals with a person after they become seriously ill. Placing the issue in perspective, he summed up the mental health quandary with levity and candor.
Mental health, in terms of exasperation, is even worse than land use, he said with a chuckle. Thats saying something.
The commissioners will likely set a public hearing date at todays staff session.

Recent Tasting Notes
I like this tea. The black tea flavor isn't too strong and the blueberry is subtle but good. I made it with just a smidgen of rock sugar (I suspect it would taste syrupy with a full teaspoon). Perhaps I will mix this with Teavana's Blueberry Bliss rooibos to bring out the blueberry flavor more. (And silentrequiem said this is a good candidate for iced tea, so that may be what I do with this next.)
(Sample from silentrequiem. Thanks!)
This is a nice tea. I thought it was only a green tea so I'd meant to steep it for no more than 2 minutes, but I accidentally forgot about it and let it steep for 5 minutes. It wasn't bitter at all, but the fruit flavor was VERY strong. (Perhaps a little too strong.) I resteeped the leaves for about 3 minutes and the resulting tea was quite nice. After reading that almonds were in this tea, I thought I could detect their flavor.
(Sample from silentrequiem. Thanks!)
I generally don't like green teas unflavored, so I'm not going to describe the taste of the base tea, but as a whole, I love this tea. To me this tea tastes like Christmas. I drink it in place of Talk of the Town November – January and I look forward to it every year.
Usually I love teas with orange and nuts, and this tea is no exception. The peppercorns and the almonds combine to form a slightly spicy note that I love. I really don't taste any orange flavor in the tea, but I'm sure it's there.
I could probably drink this tea and Candy Cane Lane from November through January every year and not get tired of them. If that's not high praise, I don't know what is.
I had this tea first without sugar a few days ago. It was fine, but the flavors were subtle and the black tea smokiness was a little strong for me. I'm having it again now with sugar, which improved the flavor in my opinion. I can taste the pistachio and I think I taste the almond as well, but the flavors aren't as distinct as I would like. This is still tasty overall, however.
(Sample from silentrequiem. Thanks!)
First of all, two things. This tea is called Irish Rum Cream now. Secondly, I'm guessing this is supposed to taste like rum because of the name, but I don't really drink, so I can't tell you if it tastes like Irish rum cream or something like that, simply because I have no idea if it does or not.
I can tell you that it's an interesting cup of tea. The base tea has a strong, malty flavor. The overall flavor is black tea combined with a flavor somewhere between coconut and vanilla. Kind of a little tropical. It's not quite either flavor, but it reminds me of both of them.
I've never tried it iced, but it seems like an interesting idea.
It's not my favorite black tea, but I'm in no way sad I have it.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the transformation after cold brewing this tea in the fridge overnight. This is almost a completely different tea when iced. I even bumped up my score a few points since I enjoyed it so much cold! The coconut really comes through to form this cool, tropical treat. I added a slice of lime for even more fun! I'm guessing it would be a big hit at a summer BBQ or something like that.
When it comes to tea, I'm kind of a creature of habit. I mostly know what I like and what I don't, which is what enables me to purchase (and review) mostly teas that I know I'll enjoy quite a bit.
One thing I have found I don't often like are these dessert teas that taste like something else. However, during my last trip to Capital Teas I was 2 oz. short of the pound discount, I love all things pistachio and I was feeling a bit adventurous, so I decided to wander out of my tea comfort zone and give this one a try.
I'm so glad I did.
The one thing that attracted me to this tea was the smell. It had a mostly pistachio smell, along with what I think was coriander. I usually don't like teas that smell like that, but I was all in.
I added some sweetener, which is my custom for these dessert teas.
Simply put, I have never had a tea that tasted more like a cookie before. It was great.
While I taste the almond and what I believe to be coriander, pistachio is very much the dominant flavor which is probably why I like it so much.
No dessert tea will ever taste as good as a nice iced black or hot white tea, but this one surely gets to the neighborhood!
This tea both smells and tastes like liquid peppermint bark. I wouldn't have believed it was possible if I didn't taste it. I added a touch of sweetener, which I usually do when drinking teas with chocolate.
The only problem with this tea is that it both smells and tastes like liquid peppermint bark after you brew it. I'm not so sure the world needs this tea.
However, some of my coworkers love this tea. The bottom line is if you're interested in having tea that tastes just like white chocolate peppermint bark, this is the one to go for. If not, try something else.
I can very clearly taste the cranberries, raspberries and somewhat mellow black tea in this blend. While there is nothing wrong with it, I was hoping for the bitterness of the tea and the tartness of the cranberries to combine in a very intense bitter cranberry taste, but instead the tea is a perfectly balanced blend of all three flavors. Not bad in any way, just not what I was hoping for.
I enjoy this tea hot, but even more iced.
I will say this – I severed this tea iced (cold brewed) over Thanksgiving and a few of my guests (not familiar with tea beyond the bagged stuff you find in a supermarket) really liked the tea and drank it at the meal instead of water. Most of them added sweetener, but to each their own.
I've yet to find my perfect blueberry tea, which tastes like fresh blueberries without needing any sweetener. Unfortunately, this tea is not it. It's a pleasant tea but not what I was hoping. The blueberry taste wasn't very strong, even with some sugar.
However, I left my unfinished mug sitting on the table while I went out to run errands. By the time I came back it had chilled and tasted just like blueberries. So this tea is infinitely better iced than hot, and I might have to make some iced tea even if it is December.
I was able to taste Capital Teas at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival. I had seen them in my tea magazines and have come very close to putting in an order. Since tasting them, I will definitely order off of them-I have many of their teas listed on my Christmas list!
This was not a tea I would typically be drawn too, green is not my tea of choice usually. However, I am so glad I tried this. It was amazing to say the least. The smell is very aromatic when brewing, but then all 3 Capital Teas I bought are. I think you can taste all the flavors noted in the ingredients, the combination really accents the sencha green tea. I have been making everyone taste this, including my daughters. My oldest said-tastes like tea, but it is a little better than the others. That coming from her is a compliment, honest!
My 4 oz tin is almost gone. I hope they have this around after Christmas or at least make it again next year. It is a wonderful keeper in my book!
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you found us at the Coffee and Tea Fest in Philly. Happy Brewing!
I am so glad I found you too! I actually just ordered some more tea on your website. Can't wait to get it. I am going to try and get to one of your Tea Bars soon.
Tea Time Magazine, you can find out more info about them here: http://www.teatimemagazine.com/index.aspx
Wonderful magazine I first received as a gift from my Mother-In-Law, who knows I love tea and saw a teapot that I own on one of the covers.
Tea Magazine is another, info for them:
I found them on Pinterest while looking at tea. Neat Pinterest site-check it out.
I bought 4 oz. of this tea during their September trade-in sale. I wish I'd bought more. It's soooo good. It's light and the peach flavor is very strong, but the tea isn't sweet – I know it sounds odd, but I like it a lot. It's peach, but not a sweet peach.
Very pleasant sipping.
Three simple flavors, the general rooibos flavor, the vanilla/cream and the pumpkin combine with some sort of natural sweetness to form a surprisingly complex tea. Capital Teas suggests adding honey, but I think it's fine just the way it is.
"Cream" teas are hit and miss for me, I think the combination with the pumpkin flavor works well. It may be my favorite cream tea.
Having said that, I'm not sure I'd buy this again, simply because there are other pumpkin teas I like better and there is a limit to how many pumpkin teas one needs every fall and winter. Maybe I'll get 2oz every other year.
I can't help comparing this to Sultan's Delight from American Tea Room. They taste very similar except Capital Teas' has a green tea base instead of black. This is nice – sweeter than Sultan's Delight, and lighter too.
I like them both, but think I'm leaning towards ATR's better, but this is a nice alternative. I think this would be delicious iced.
This is really good. It's not as almondy as other almond teas – the pistachio is actually the strongest flavor here. It provides a bit more of a savory edge, and some buttery taste to the tea that is really nice. A nice nutty tea when you don't want something sweet.
I sat down with a mug of this, finished my mug, and immediately went out the door to go to the store and buy more of this. I only picked up 2 oz. on my last visit and I knew that would be insufficient.
This is GOOD. Sweetish, without being cloying. The almond comes through, and the coconut adds a bit of creaminess to the tea. Delicious and delightful. I think this would be awesome iced, too.
Thank you Nicole! Slowly trying the teas you sent! So. Many. Teas. I think I've had this tea before under a different name before – Tea Haus – Marzipan. But that's fine because I love it! Now I have a little of both. You can't say this one doesn't have almond! The black base doesn't overpower the flavor… but it would be hard to with this almond. Some vanilla like qualities too! Very nice!
I'm really digging this tea. It's a little more syrupy than a darjeeling, less astringent. I just want to chug it.
I look forward to my infrequent work trips, mainly because I have the opportunity to visit tea shops and cafes, something I don't have the luxury to do here in my culturally alive but tea bereft area. On a recent trip to DC, I stopped into Teaism and had a nice cup of Golden Monkey and then bought a tin of this Himalayan Gold from Capital Teas.
I have to say, I have quickly become enamored of this tea. Of course it has the same general profile as a darjeeling, but with a lingering sweetness—Oolong-like in its floweriness—that sets it apart from its more astringent cousin.
I only wish Capital had more unflavored teas to choose from; I would certainly purchase from them again.
This looks like Himalayan Gold from Nepali Tea Traders (non-profit) in Denver. They source tea from farms in Nepal, sell direct and wholesale. This is one of my favorites in their line of black tea's. www.nepaliteatraders.com The sample sets are a really good way to try their tea's if you enjoy tea from Nepal. (I don't mind plugging a non-profit that helps the farmers!)
I sampled this while I was in the Wildwood store today. I did not like it. I'm sure there was almond in it, but like some other almond herbal blends that uses apple as filler (cough, David's Tea, cough), all I could taste was apple, and tart apple at that. Well, at least I could try before I bought it.
I have been so overwhelmed lately with nursing school that I just haven't had time to post about any teas. I am actually drinking more teas than ever since I need all of that caffeine to make it through the day, and I do browse Steepster once a day or so to see what everyone is drinking. I have an exam on Monday that I should be studying for, but I really want to get to the rest of the teas that Nicole sent, so I got up a little earlier to taste some teas.
This one kind of threw me off for a while. I kept noticing a fruitiness in the aroma and the flavor that I couldn't figure out. I agree with Nicole, I think this has more of an amaretto type quality to it, rather than just almonds and cream. There was an almost roasty/smokiness in the flavor, which I'm not sure if it was from the steeping time (right in the middle of the recommended range at 4 minutes) or if it is just this tea. Adding just sweetener did not help and made it even more artificial and syrupy-tasting, but adding milk also makes it a creamy cup and brings out more of the vanilla and almond flavors. Overall, I am glad that I got to try another Capital Teas blend that I've been eyeing for some time now, but I will probably not purchase any for myself. A little too fakey-fruity and smokey for me. Thank you, Nicole, for this sample!!
-Dry blend has medium black tea leaves and twigs with small pieces of almonds.
-Dry leaves smell musty and slightly fruity with a hint of nutty almond. Tea liquor aroma is of rich almond and sweet fruit.
-Tea liquor is a dark orange brown color.
-Sweet candy almond flavor with a roasty and almost smokey finish. Very strong fruity aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. Heavy roasty flavor with a strong, somewhat artificial fruity note. Milk brings out more of the vanilla and almond notes.
Sounds like you're really going through the ringer in nursing school! It'll be over before you know it though!
Thank you for brewing and reviewing our Almond Cream! We hope you're able to try more of our teas as well :) Happy Brewing and best of luck with that exam on Monday!
It really is, Fuzzy_Peachkin! We're already at midterms, though, so the first semester is flying by, even though I feel like I have done nothing but study for the past 8 weeks. I am loving every minute of it, though!
Thank you, CapitalTeas! I visited your store in Bethesda over the summer and stocked up on some Figgy Pudding and Royal Wedding tea. They usually end up in the Timolino a couple of times a week on the way to class! :)
I received some of this from fellow Steepster member, Nicole. It came from a store called "Tea Market", but they repackage other companies tea. I'm sure it's this one. It looks identical.
Anyways, this tea is just okay. It sort of taste flat to me. There are no distinguishing flavors in my personal opinion. I wouldn't purchase it, but I'll finish the sample that I received.
Thanks Nicole!
