What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using insulin regular (Humulin R)?
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to insulin, or if you are having an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
To make sure you can safely use insulin, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease.
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including any oral (by mouth) diabetes medications.
Insulin regular is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include diet, exercise, weight control, foot care, eye care, dental care, and testing your blood sugar. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely. Changing any of these factors can affect your blood sugar levels.
FDA pregnancy category B. Insulin is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether insulin regular passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I use insulin regular (Humulin R)?
Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.
Insulin regular is injected under the skin. You may be shown how to use injections at home. Do not self inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles and syringes.
Choose a different place in your injection skin area each time you use this medication. Do not inject into the same place two times in a row.
Insulin regular should look as clear as water. Do not use the medication if has changed colors, looks cloudy, or has particles in it. Call your doctor for a new prescription.
Use a disposable needle only once. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Some types of insulin needles can be used more than once. But reusing needles increases your risk of infection. Used needles must be properly cleaned and inspected for bending or breakage. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether you can reuse your insulin needles.
Never share an injection pen or cartridge with another person. Sharing injection pens or cartridges can allow disease such as hepatitis or HIV to pass from one person to another.
Know the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and how to recognize them: headache, hunger, weakness, sweating, tremors, irritability, or trouble concentrating.
Always keep a source of sugar available in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Sugar sources include orange juice, glucose gel, candy, or milk. If you have severe hypoglycemia and cannot eat or drink, use an injection of glucagon. Your doctor can give you a prescription for a glucagon emergency injection kit and tell you how to give the injection.
Also watch for signs of blood sugar that is too high (hyperglycemia). These symptoms include increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, and weight loss.
Check your blood sugar carefully during a time of stress or illness, if you travel, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, or skip meals. These things can affect your glucose levels and your dose needs may also change.
Your doctor may want you to stop taking insulin for a short time if you become ill, have a fever or infection, or if you have surgery or a medical emergency.
Ask your doctor how to adjust your insulin dose if needed. Do not change your medication dose or schedule without your doctor's advice.
If your doctor changes your brand, strength, or type of insulin, your dosage needs may change. Ask your pharmacist if you have any questions about the new kind of insulin you receive at the pharmacy.
Carry an ID card or wear a medical alert bracelet stating that you have diabetes, in case of emergency. Any doctor, dentist, or emergency medical care provider who treats you should know that you are diabetic.
Insulin is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include diet, exercise, weight control, foot care, eye care, dental care, and testing your blood sugar. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely. Changing any of these factors can affect your blood sugar levels.
Storing unopened vials and cartridges: Keep in the carton and store in a refrigerator, protected from light.
Unopened vials may also be stored at room temperature, away from heat and bright light.
Storing after your first use: Keep the "in-use" vials or cartridges at room temperature.
Do not freeze insulin regular, and throw away the medication if it has become frozen.
Throw away any insulin not used before the expiration date on the medicine label.

Our Gardens
Many visitors are surprised to learn that the Smithsonian Institution includes a number of outdoor museums. All have been designed to complement the museums they border and to enhance the overall museum experience of learning, appreciation, and enjoyment. From mid-April through September there are weekly garden tours available (weather permitting).
Pollinator Garden
The Pollinator Garden features different habitats and informational signage about pollinators. A significant objective in the Pollinator Garden is to emphasize natural plant/pollinator partnerships. All of the plants, grasses and trees in the garden were specifically selected for providing nourishment and shelter to pollinator insects.
Enid A. Haupt Garden
Located directly above the National Museum of African Art, S. Dillon Ripley Center, and Arthur M.Sackler Gallery, the 4.2-acre Enid A. Haupt Garden is actually a rooftop garden. It comprises three separate gardens, each reflecting the cultural influences celebrated in the adjacent architecture and the museums below.
Freer Gallery of Art
The Courtyard Garden is an elegantly designed outdoor space that invites relaxation and quiet contemplation within the gallery. In 1906, Charles L. Freer, a Detroit railroad-car manufacturer, donated his exceptional collection of Asian art and works by James McNeil Whistler to the people of the United States.
Greenhouse Nursery Operations
The Smithsonian Gardens greenhouse facility is the permanent home of Smithsonian Gardens' Greenhouse Nursery Operations. It serves as the base of production and maintenance of plant material for the gardens and horticultural exhibits throughout the Smithsonian Institution. It houses the Smithsonian Orchid Collection, tropical plant specimens, and interior display plants, and also includes a greenhouse devoted to nectar plants used for the Butterfly Pavilion at the National Museum of Natural History.
Heirloom Garden
The Heirloom Garden at the National Museum of American History, Behring Center, is a treasury of favorites from what may be considered the classic American flower garden. Heirloom varieties, defined as open-pollinated plants rather than hybrids or genetically altered plants, are showcased in the terrace beds at the Mall entrance of the museum.
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
Financier Joseph H. Hirshhorn donated his extensive modern art collection to the Smithsonian in 1966, with the stipulation that an outdoor sculpture garden be part of the new museum. Transformed by season, time of day, and even weather, the garden provides an ever-changing backdrop and contemplative haven for viewing over 60 large-scale works of art.
Kathrine Dulin Folger Rose Garden
The Kathrine Dulin Folger Rose Garden adorns the east side of the Smithsonian Castle and the main façade of the Arts and Industries Building. From mid-May through November, roses grace the garden with color and fragrance. Bulbs, perennials, annuals, tropical plants, potted herbs, and evergreens enhance the garden's year-round beauty.
Mary Livingston Ripley Garden
Located between the Arts and Industries Building and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden is a horticultural display of hundreds of varieties of annual and perennial plants, unique hanging baskets, and unusual trees and shrubs.
National Air and Space Museum
The landscape at the National Air and Space Museum includes more than seven acres of trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and herbaceous perennial and annual plants. Set in multiple tiers of walled terraces, the plantings are intended to provide year-round seasonal interest to museum visitors and staff.
Native Landscape at the National Museum of the American Indian
The grounds surrounding the National Museum of the American Indian are considered an extension of the building and a vital part of the museum as a whole. By recalling the natural landscape environment that existed prior to European contact, the museums landscape design embodies a theme that runs central to the museum returning to a Native place.
Smithsonian Institution Building (Castle)
The Castle building is surrounded by two exhibition gardens, the Enid A. Haupt Garden and Folger Rose Garden. These gardens showcase containers of plants, 19th century garden furniture, seasonal plantings and fountains.
Urban Bird Habitat
Plant and animal diversity is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. This garden is an oasis for many bird species; it provides for their basic needs; food, water, shelter, and a place to raise their young.
Victory Garden at National Museum of American History
Located on the National Museum of American History's east side, the Victory Garden is typical of vegetable gardens created during World War II, when growing food for home consumption was an important part of the war effort.
Mobile Field Guide
Our gardens are filled with trees and shrubs you may not recognize. To help you ID them try using the free LeafSnap mobile app in the gardens.

Whether your idea of a great trip is sipping fruity drinks on the beach, hiking through the rain forest or hiding away in a quaint bed and breakfast, there's an eco-friendly lodging option for you. Green hotels come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges, and can be found almost anywhere, from the streets of San Francisco to the grasslands of Kenya. With the number of eco-friendly options on the rise, there's no excuse not to "go green" on your next trip!
The list that follows is the best of the best: the top ecolodges and green hotels, selected from thousands of properties around the world. We chose them for their spectacular locations, outstanding guest amenities and extraordinary commitment to conservation. For more details, we encourage you to contact each property directly or visit their website; most of them have their environmental policies clearly linked from their home page, and all of them have staff members who will be happy to tell you about the steps they're taking to protect the planet. Here are a few questions to ask.
Want to find more green hotels? Check out our Eco-Friendly Lodging Resources.
The smoke-free, 86-room Orchard Garden Hotel in downtown San Francisco opened in November 2006 as the only hotel in the city to be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council for environmentally friendly design. Its energy-saving electric key card system automatically stops power to each room when a guest leaves and turns it back on when he or she returns. The hotel also uses energy-efficient light bulbs to further cut its electricity usage.
Rooms are equipped with low-flow toilets, organic bath products and recycling bins, and are cleaned with chemical-free products. The hotel also reaches out to the community by featuring the work of local artists in the lobby.
For a tropical getaway that's both luxurious and eco-friendly, head to the private beach bungalows of Tiamo Resorts, tucked away on the pristine Bahamian island of South Andros. The resort is 100 percent solar powered, with all hot water heated by the sun rather than electricity or gas. The buildings were designed to minimize erosion and maximize airflow, and constructed by locals from wood taken from sustainable forests. Tiamo uses composting toilets and water treatment systems to minimize waste -- and even gets guests involved by neatly packaging plastic products to be taken home and recycled (there are no recycling programs in the Bahamas). A wide variety of outdoor activities are offered, and staff are always eager to educate guests and the wider community about the resort's environmental efforts.
The beautifully restored 17th-century house and chapel of Old Chapel Forge provide an eco-friendly stay in the heart of England's Sussex countryside. Old Chapel Forge has been awarded the highest rating from the Green Tourism Business Scheme for its environmental programs, including the use of solar panels to heat water, and partnerships with local farmers and merchants to provide locally grown organic meals. Other green efforts include composting, grey water recycling and guest education.
Get up close and personal with Africa's "big five" mammals (Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhinoceros) and support the native Maasai community at Campi ya Kanzia, luxurious safari camp in southern Kenya. The camp and its 400 square miles are owned by the Maasai people, who work with the camp's Italian hosts to preserve the local wildlife and provide a personalized and sustainable experience for visitors.
The camp's six thatched-roof tented cottages were constructed of local materials without cutting down any trees. Electricity and hot water are generated by solar power, and waste is composted or recycled. The menu includes organic eggs, milk and vegetables, and all meals are cooked with eco-friendly charcoal.
The Graycote Inn offers all the comfort and charm of a traditional New England B&B with an eco-friendly twist. The inn has streamlined its resource use with energy-efficient lighting, high-efficiency furnaces and air-conditioning units, and water conservation fixtures on all toilets, showers and sinks. To reduce waste, all Styrofoam food packaging has been eliminated, and the inn has established comprehensive composting and recycling programs. Breakfast options include organic coffee and locally grown produce. And the inn's location -- just a five-minute drive from Acadia National Park and within walking distance of Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants -- makes for a low-gas getaway.Learn More About Green Travel
Deep within the subtropical rain forest of Queensland's Lamington National Park is the Binna Burra Mountain Lodge and Campsite, an ecolodge where guests can enjoy hiking, bird watching, abseiling and numerous environmental education programs. Accommodation options include safari-style canvas tents or a more luxurious room in the main lodge. Binna Burra was founded in 1933 on land that had been cleared and farmed; since then, the lodge has restored the land to its original rain forest state and encouraged the growth of native plant species. Recycling, composting, low-flow water fixtures and the use of energy-efficient lighting are just a few of the lodge's environmental initiatives. Binna Burra makes regular contributions to research projects within the national park as well as to other environmental organizations.
Looking for your own place under the Tuscan sun? Try Tenuta di Spannocchia, a working organic farm that produces its own meat, eggs, grains, vegetables, honey, wine and olive oil. Guests can rent their own farmhouse for a week or stay for a few nights in one of two bed and breakfast facilities. Visitors are welcome (but not required) to learn about and get involved with the farm's day-to-day operations, which rely on sustainable farming techniques.
Spannocchia is home to one of Tuscany's first natural waste water treatment systems, and guests are strongly encouraged to participate in the farm's composting and recycling programs. Housekeeping and linen changes are done once a week. To stay at Spannocchia, guests must become members of the Spannocchia Foundation, which supports conservation and sustainable agriculture.
Bolivia's Madidi National Park is one of the most biologically diverse areas of the planet, and a stay at the Chalalan Ecolodge puts you right in the heart of it. Guests stay in Tacana-style cabins built from environmentally friendly local materials, with balconies overlooking the jungle. The lodge was founded in the 1990s by members of the indigenous community of San Jose de Uchupiamonas in an effort to support themselves and protect the beauty and eco-diversity of their homeland. The lodge is still community owned and operated. Environmental provisions include solar-powered lighting, a liquid waste treatment system, a water purification system and a composting program.
During your stay in Bayfield, Wisconsin, even the cars have been known to run on used vegetable oil from local restaurants. This is just one way the innkeepers show their commitment to sustainable living, a commitment that's also visible in every aspect of life at Pinehurst. The 19th-century inn boasts energy-efficient appliances and lighting, solar panels to heat water in the newly built Garden House, and organic cotton linens and towels in all rooms. Locally grown organic food is served at breakfast. Non-toxic cleaning products are used inside, while outside the innkeepers refrain from using pesticides, herbicides and commercial fertilizers anywhere on the grounds.
The Proximity Hotel is one of the greenest hotels in the country, using 40 percent less energy and 35 percent less water than a conventional hotel. Much of the hot water for the hotel and its restaurant is heated by 4,000 square feet of solar panels on the roof, and water-saving fixtures are used throughout the guestrooms and other facilities. Bikes are available for guests to ride on a nearby five-mile greenway.
Guestrooms may be green but they're also luxurious, featuring 32-inch flat-panel TVs, original artwork, complimentary Wi-Fi, large windows that allow plenty of natural light, and many other amenities.

Seeking help Identifying Assailant
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Nov 2, 2008
Today, Sunday November 2, I was assaulted and battered-a-bit in the Marshall's parking lot, at about 1 PM. I believe it related to the anti-Prop 8 signage on my car, as he called me "a (adjective) pig" when we passed in our cars, without provocation from me. He then awaited me in the lot as I approached the store, called me several profane names, got more worked-up, blocked my way twice, spat in my face twice, threw ice from a cup, invited me repeatedly to fight him, knocked my camera from my hand, tried to trip me, and when I successfully retrieved the camera he took-off on foot over the berm, across Fostoria Way and through the Petco parking lot in a generally southbound direction.
The Danville police were called; I gave a statement, and agreed to prosecute. A drive-around apparently did not produce a suspect.
Anyway -- here's a description:
Muscular/stocky white male, age 45-55, 5'-10" or so, shaved head, rectangular rimless glasses. "Mr. Clean" without the earring or the smile. He was driving a gold-tan four-door sedan. I took the license numbers of several cars that might have been his. He was dressed in a brown, button-down shirt and brown pants, casual shoes. There was neither smoke, nor alcohol on his "breath." Limited vocabulary, and a whole lot of anger. ;-)
Any info, kindly give it the Danville PD 925-314-3700. The Report number is 08-24780.
And just generally, folks -- tempers are running very high over our election differences. Please think/plan in advance about how you would handle an incident like this, and commit to non-violence -- 'cuz it's hard to think clearly when someone spits in your face. Also, carrying a digital camera may have saved me a butt-whipping.
Thanks for any help you can give -- I believe this incident could've gone much worse, and that's unacceptable.
Regards, Tom Cushing

This is outragous. Prop 8 supporters have neo-nazis as their friends, no wonder.
a resident of Danville
on Nov 3, 2008 at 8:13 am
I am so sorry to hear of this incident. You have been a great supporter of the No on 8 cause, and I thank you for that.
I hope the assailant is found.
a resident of Danville
on Nov 3, 2008 at 8:54 am
Thanks, guys -- I think it was what the shrinks call an AFGO, another, uh, fine growth opportunity. Anyway, the guy shouldn't be hard to find -- pretty distinctive look -- any tips to the Danville PD might help their investigation.
I'm also guessing there'll a pattern of abusive conduct that accompanies him -- perhaps some formal legal process can raise the stakes of future repetitions.
And while we're at it: NO on 8!
a resident of Danville
on Nov 3, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Sorry to hear about that, Tom. There's no call for that...absolutely none. I hope they catch the guy.

This seemed like the most appropriate forum to address you personally outside of the other message boards. WHatever happens tomorrow, I just want to THANK You for everything you've done on the no on 8 campaign.
I grew up in Danville and all my life new I was some how different, but could never put my finger on it. It wasn't until my mid 20s, living in Los Angeles and meeting so many solid LGBT citizens did I have the courage to realize I was gay and come out. Moving forward I've been an activist, fundraiser and educator for the gay community. I'm blessed that living here in LA, I have so many wonderful gay friends, who just want equality like everyone else, and, for most part to only be exclusively exposed to the No on 8 campaign (i.e. very little if any pro 8 people here...)
Last week I came to this site to see what was up with the old hood if you will, and was shocked and dismayed by what I found. It turned out my instincts to stay in closet and have an agonizing youth over being gay were for most part well founded. I have been shocked at so many of the responses on the forums. HOwever you have done an AMAZING job of standing up for what is right, maintaining composure and only debating on facts.
On the good side it seems the residents of Danville are split evenly, although its hard to understand the 50% who insist this will be taught in schools and that by this failing the homomsexual agenda will be forced on our children. As a product of the San Ramon Valley Unified School district, this was never further from the truth. The schools here did an outstanding job never teaching marriage, but just the raw engineering of human reproduction and the risk of STDs. ANd, of course year in and year out I brought home a permission slip so my parents could opt me out if they so chose.
As we stand here on the eve of this most historic election, I just want to thank you again for EVERYTHING. I'm sorry what happened to you in the parking lot. BUt it warms my heart to know there is someone like you living in Danville. And to all the San Ramon Valley residents who plan on a no vote, thank you. You know, and understand, this isnt about our kids, and what sexual orientation your kids grow up as is not by choice, and who they are as people comes from what kind of parents you are, not what happens in the schools, the church and the community.

Dear "FDR:"
I wrote somewhere in all these pixels that, for all the concepts we debate, the thing that gets-me-where-I-live is people's stories. Thanks for sharing yours. As for me, I have seldom been so certain of anything as I am of the rightness of our common cause on this issue. That makes it very easy to write about.
Please vote NO on 8. We will save our Constitution -- and save ourselves.
a resident of Danville
on Nov 5, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I got flipped off driving down the freeway for my Obama / Biden bumper sticker! His bumper sticker said Obama Sucks.
Winning is victory enough for me!
Some people just aren't comfortable with equality - race, gender or sexual orientation and I am not comfortable with those people.
a resident of Danville
on Nov 8, 2008 at 4:27 pm
He has been identified.
My thanks to all who assisted in this investigation!
(and stay tuned)
a resident of Charlotte Wood Middle School
on Nov 14, 2008 at 10:51 am
Very good news that this man has been identified. I hope the police follow through with charges.
I was surprised by your story and even more surprised that Prop 8 passed. While it was defeated quite handily in the Bay Area by about 70%, it was passed in other counties- including LA! So it would appear that intolerance and hate can be found in both Southern and Northern CA. As a community and as parents, we still have work to do. For ourselves and our children.
Please keep us posted...

Update: the defendant, also a Danville resident, has been charged with multiple counts of battery. A preliminary hearing scheduled for March 17 was continued to early May.
a resident of Danville
on May 13, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Foe anyone keeping score at home, the preliminary hearing in this case #1-140-637-0 has again been postponed -- this time until June 16th. I'm guessing the hope is I'll die, move away or forget.
Not likely.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Move over, "Jersey Shore" cast. A bunch of wild young West Virginians are about to fill your time slot.
MTV will begin airing the reality show "BUCKWILD," shot in Sissonville and Charleston, at 10 p.m. on Jan. 3, spokeswoman Candice Ashton said Thursday. Two half-hour episodes will air back-to-back each week, following nine "carefree and adventurous friends."
The network ordered 12 episodes of the show last fall, and a trailer shows the cast drinking and swearing, four-wheeling and fighting, even filling a dump truck with water and using it as a swimming pool.
"They live their lives loud and proud without restrictions," MTV said in a statement. "Beyond dating, friendship and their love of mudding, the bond they share with family and friends is always at the core for this fun-loving group."
The cast includes: Shain, a former high school prom king who missed the dance because he had to work; Shain's best friend, Joey, a self-proclaimed ladies' man; and Shae, a nursing student who goes for the bad boys.
There's also: Anna, a "wild child" trying to decide between work and school; brave but troublemaking tomboy Ashley; Morgantown native Cara, who's recovering from a failed relationship; heart-breaking pretty boy Tyler; danger-avoiding college student Katie; and the oldest of the group, Salwa, a college graduate living at home with strict parents and always eager to start the party.
The executive producers are Zoo Productions and J.P. Williams of Parallel Entertainment, a native West Virginian best known for creating Blue Collar Comedy.
The West Virginia Film Office denied tax credits to the producers over concerns the show would negatively portray the state's young male residents, the latest front in a continuing battle over stereotyping.
In 2002, public outcry prompted CBS to drop plans for "The Real Beverly Hillbillies," which was to feature residents of rural Appalachia plunked down in the middle of Beverly Hills. A year later, the horror film "Wrong Turn," shot in Canada, was set in a hypothetical West Virginia, where cannibalistic mountain men terrorized lost tourists.
And in 2008, state leaders responded vehemently when a casting company looked to West Virginia for extras to play inbred degenerates.
On the upside, though, was last year's Paramount Pictures blockbuster "Super 8." It was set in Weirton, the same town used for some scenes in the classic Vietnam film "The Deer Hunter."
The 2004 film "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" was partially shot in Fayetteville, which stood in for the Putnam County town of Frazier's Bottom, where the script was set.

Jan 5, 2008 at 2:52 pm #1226597
My fiancee and I headed out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving this past November, with plans to hike a figure 8 in the eastern half of Tennesee's Savage Gulf State Natural Area. We had made contingencies for either a 3 or 5 day loop dependent on weather, mood, and trail conditions.
Tuesday, November 20, 2007
We self-registered at the Savage Ranger Station. We began heading up the Savage Day Loop, We headed to the intersection with the South Rim Trail, and I hung a waterproof bear bag with food for the second half of our trip. With a much lighter pack, we then pushed up the Day Loop until we hit the North Rim Trail. My fiancee, who does NOT like suspension bridges, made it clear I would have to go first.
As we proceeded along the North Rim, we encountered many excellent overlooks, and fall colors were surprisingly strong despite the drought that has plagued the southeast this past season. The best viewpoint by far was Tommy Point Overlook, with views into three major gorges, about a mile before Hobbs Cabin.
We arrived about an hour before dark. Leslie began gathering firewood and I visited the water source. It was very dark water, and though I filtered it, it still looked like weak grape Koolaid. I considered heading down the Connector Trail to look for some more water, but my financee agreed to go with this stuff for the evening. At least we had a warm dry home for the night and we had it all to ourselves.
We nestled in and spent a comfortable night.
Wednesday, November 21, 2007
We awoke and discussed our options. Leslie's ankle was sore and a bit swollen from a twist she took the previous day. Also, the sky was threatening a nasty day. We has planned on pushing up the North Plateau Trail to Dinky Line Campsite, 5.7 miles away. Under the circumstances, we chose to stay at Hobbs.
We spent the morning relaxing and gathering firewood, as the temperature was beginning to drop. I considered heading down the Connector Trail for water, but considering the skies, I waited, hoping I might be able to gather water the easy way.
A father and son arrived just after noon, and the sky opened up. I strung my tarp out to catch water and had a couple of fresh gallons just a half hour into the storm. Inside, we all enjoyed a good fire, a good dinner, and dry sleeping.
The kitchen area was also very convenient:
We went to bed happy and content.
Thursday, November 22, 2007
The next morning was wetter, colder, and mistier than any other previous day.
We decided not to push for the long day necessary to get back on track. We would have had to churn out about 13 miles to do so. In the cold mist, we decided to simply push an even 10 miles back to the Savage Ranger Station and out. Thus we headed out from Hobbs Cabin.
The North Plateau Trail was more level than the North Rim Trail, though longer by a couple of miles with few good water sources and no views to speak of. However, the cold, wet mist spurred us on to make excellent time. Our orange pack covers and wind gear made us readily visible to hunters in the area.
After just a very brief stop to grab some food at Dinky Line Camp, we moved on quickly. Leslie took the straightest route back to the ranger station once we reached the Savage Day Loop again. I doubled back to the other intersection where I hung the resupply cache and met her again about a 1/2-mile from the trailhead.
We headed out and enjoyed Thanksiving dinner at a Chinese Bufet. Though the trip was shorter than originally planned, we enjoyed it immensely, especially the last day or so of fall colors before the storm and cold rain of that Wednesday and Thursday brought down nearly all the remaining foliage.Jan 6, 2008 at 3:24 pm #1415066

It always great to see pictures from someone else's trip. I hate the rain made you cut it short (even if the rain was welcome relief for the area). I know how disappointing that can be.
But then there's always the next trip!Jan 6, 2008 at 4:26 pm #1415071
Leslie and I are hoping to hike the other half of the planned figure 8 over Martin Luther King Weekend.Jan 24, 2008 at 5:37 am #1417473

Shawn, your description convinced me to plan a 5 day and 4 nite trip in to Gulf Savage 1st week of April instead of section hike on crowded( then) AT in W.NC. Bring my son and meet a songwriting buddy from nearby Nville, TN. Have you hiked in before from the other Ranger station on NE section? Great post Shawn!Jan 26, 2008 at 4:05 pm #1417828
Yes, I hiked the loop from Stone Door last June. It is a fantastic loop and the actual "Stone Door" offers a fantastic viewpoint.
I have some pics and a couple of pages from my trailjournal from then: http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=186377Jan 28, 2008 at 11:00 am #1418047

Money well spent. I have just broken the 1500rnd mark in my XDM40 that I bought in November.
Picked it up on wed. schedule has not allowed me to get it to the range. I had the 4" xd&xdm in my hands and the xdm said "buy me".
Money well spent. I have just broken the 1500rnd mark in my XDM40 that I bought in November.
RCR14, I'm in the same boat with you. I got mine on Monday and have had one meeting or another every night this week. I can't wait to go put some rounds through it. I too had the XD9 and the XDM9 side by side and the XDM was talking a little louder to me. I bowed out of some ice fishing plans tommorrow in order to go try it out. I'll report in with my initial thoughts. Please do the same.
Must have been the week for xdm 9 pick ups because just like rcr14 I also got my new xdm 9 on wednesday, but I am going to wait until march 3rd to put any rounds through it because being newb to semi-auto pistols I have a one on one training course with an instructer for safety and operation of the pistol.
Looking forward to your impressions, all of you that just got yours. I have an XD 45 and while I really like it, I can't afford the ammo for much practice. I am considering adding a 9mm to the collection so that I can go to the range more often. Keep me posted on how it does!
does anyone with the xdm9 have trouble with the magazine speed loader?
the piece thats supposed to go into the mag on mine is to wide and will not fit. ive talked to a few people and its made for both the .40 and 9 together and the people with the .40 say it works fine ,but ive spoken toa few with the 9 that have the same problem as me, think im gonna take some sandpaper to it to help it fit in the mag, its just a smigen to wide and i dont wanna try to pry the mag lips wider, even after i put a bullet in mag its still to wide to push that round down to load the next one
Diskgolfer, Man I thought it was just me. It seems like they threw the wrong one in the case. I wonder if there is an XDM specific loader available?
I also got my new xdm9 on Wensday, but I was able to shoot a IDPA practice match that night. I'm impressed. this gun is very comfortable to shoot. only had 12 down out of 75 rounds. this is my new compition gun. so far so good.Hoss
nice post
I just picked up my XD(M) 9mm last Thursday and love it!!! Put about 200 rounds through it already. Initial impressions= I likey.

With just weeks before the year's end, it's very unlikely Congress will be able to agree to the type of long-term "grand bargain" that has been elusive for well over a year, said Robert Bixby, executive director of the deficit-cutting Concord Coalition in Washington. At the same time, he said, it's unlikely both sides will allow a post-election collapse of budget policy.
"They can't enact the detailed legislation they need on entitlement and tax reform in the next couple of weeks," Bixby said. "The real meaning of it won't come together until next year."

Good to hear Sarge, I'm in your weight range, and I'm dying to know how this board performs, especially in the bigger stuff.
so do fondle and tell!!!!!
Also Sarge i noticed in your sig you have a 6'0 MB & 6'0 MD
How does the MB go paddle wise? Do you only use it for more hollow punchy waves and switch to the mini if its more fuller waves?
How do the two compare as far as ride and wave range?Last edited by stylar; 02-02-2013, 05:21 AM.

The extra half litre and lower entry rocker on the MD is noticeable and appreciated when trying to catch fuller sections - there were a couple last week I caught waves that didn't break for another 20 metres. The MD releases way more easily off the top when you hit the lip due IMO to the double concave. It will release every time. The MB has more grip and gives the rider more control over whether to telease the fins or wrap the turn back into the pocket, similar to the Taj but more stable under foot.
When I'm padding the MB I don't see it as 'worse' than MD. the MD just paddles easier. I reckon the MB feels much the same to paddle as my old 6'4" Taj - mine was one of the later ones that had a lower entry rocker than the earlier version. It was 29.9 litres as well.
Certainly there is a big crossover with these boards, but I do travel a bit with work and depending on where I'm going I only need to take one. Gold Coast - MB, Torquay - MD. (but why limit yourself Sarge)(and then the new CC for the small days)
Hope that helps, sorry if I rambled on a bit.
Any tips on how to ride this board? Is there a certificate course I can do?
At the moment it's 3 bad waves(efforts) - 1 good. I think I keep trying to surf it forward on most of the bad efforts, followed by getting on the tail and finding out how incredibly responsive and fast it is and ending on my backside over the back while the board accelerates away. And then i get 1 wave where I dumb-luck my way around and it all feels fantastic. This is then followed by all previous steps.
I have only ridden one other shortboard (in recent times) with a single - double - vee combo bottom (Mayhem SubDriver which I had hoped was going to end up in the Firewire catologue) and it felt similar, but it had a lot more thickness through the rails and I don't think it was quite as responsive.
Anyway - suggestions anyone?
Tomorrow is another day. Bring it on you feisty little CC.

Sarge, tell me more. I'm hungry for a balanced review of surfboards. All to often, somebody spends a lot of money on a board, tells everybody how great it is, and then mysteriously sells it 3 months later.
What happens when you "surf it forward"? I had a problem with the Hellfire where I would just bury the front rail on every committed turn, catch rail, and then trip.
How's the catch-ability compared to the Mini Driver? I had a really hard time catching waves on the Mini Driver after surfing the Dominator for so long. I think I'm spoiled now and I don't want to go back.
When I'm pushing forward it feels like the board is just bogging down. Very much the exact same feeling as my old 6'0" Hellfire which I could not get to work in surf under 3 foot, either paddling or on a wave. (and at the same time it felt over volumed for me)
The waves have been quite a fullish take-off into some sucky, punchy, messy, chop and rip affected reform sections - so not the ideal way to get to know a board either. Very short rides.
So I have been forward trying to get some drive going because I can see that wide point forward and the flat entry rocker and want to use it, but it just doesn't seem to like it. I then adjust back too quickly and the board just runs off without me LOL. There have been a few really good waves (ones where I surfed them as well as I might have hoped) and these have put a real big smile on my face. generally these have been wave with a bit more size -shoulder high - and I think because of that I have relaxed and not tried to work the board/wave to get speed. On some of these I have found a bit of wobble when coming off the bottom which I think is due to the high sensitivity of the tail end of the board. Its like I think lets start this turn and the board is already doing it but a bit more aggressively than I had intended. Then the whole proprioception thing takes over and I'm like a learner driver doing out-of-control bunny hops / speed wobbles, because I can't correct the angle of the turn subtlety enough without causing the same issue in the opposite direction. At least I can laugh at it while its happening.
Catching waves is no where near as easy as on my Dom. But I am riding this 2.5 litres less then the Dom as well, and at what the Volume calculator says is my lowest volume for a HP board. That said, it catches waves as I expect it would. I find my MD is just fine for catching waves. Love it every time I take it out, or swap on to it after the CC so I can at least have a few good ones in a row.
I think the key to the CC is going to be just getting it out of my head to push forward, and just ride it from a more balanced or rear footed approach. Like you might expect for a board to sit between the Dom and the MB. Hope to get out again this afternoon and tomorrow morning if there is any swell left.
Will update once I make this board succumb to my will. Or mine to it! Either way I think it will be a good place to be.Last edited by Sarge; 02-14-2013, 04:32 PM. Reason: poor perception of spelling proprioception

Thanks Sarge. That's a great review. Reminds me of when I step down from my longboard to my short board after about 5 sessions or so. I look forward to hearing more about it as you dial it in.

I am looking for a board to fit my quiver in between Dom 5'10 & MB 6'0 and I was checking the unibrow & cc not sure which one would fit better for medium size reef waves with some juice where I have tried my Dom and felt too wide to bite and make longer secctions & the MB requireing a little more wave to go off!! Ive read some contradicting reports from both boards any advice would be welcomed thx cucuson
So - problem solved!
Solution - just stand up and surf. No need to 'work' the board that I bought to do the specific job it's designed for. Surf normally and let the board do the work for me. Der! Anyone would think I was new at this. I wouldn't say we are best friends yet, but the fight is over.

sharkota - not sure I undertsand your question. Overall, I have enjoyed my Hellfire but I think the rails might be a tad thick for me. Not sure I am totally sold on the double concave and think I might prefer the concave of the CC, unfortunately, it's an expensive way to find out. I have definitely found the board performs better in bigger surf (chest - head+) and I am liking what people are saying about the CC...paddles better, surfs mush better and gets into waves well. These are all good boards it's just a matter of finding that one board you click with unless you're good enough to rip on anything.
Unfortunately in the last 2 weeks I have only had one surf on the CC (only had one surf). But luckily it was actually the first time the board has been in the conditions I bought it for - good little chest to head high, beach break. The board went great. I decided to go for a smaller fin - Futures HS large - and this help get rid of the tracking I was experiencing with the larger / more raked AM and JP5s. Very very fast off the bottom, the first few snaps off the lip turned into early exits over the lip cause I got there too quick. Once I got used to it I was loving it. Lots of drive off the bottom, good release when wanted(or not) off the top. Board is best (for me) with foot planted hard against the tail block over the rear fin. Can't wait for some more surf time. Good luck with your purchase which ever way you go.
Been looking through the old CC threads after having one on demo the last couple of days. Always interested to hear other people's opinions on a board and thought I would share my experiences just in case any one else out there my size is looking to pull the trigger on one. So first up my stats, I'm 37 years old, and a pretty big unit at 6'4" tall and 92 kg (maybe a touch more with recent seasonal abundance of chocolate). Experience wise I'm a weekend warrior most of the time (except this week when I'm on hol's down NSW South Coast so get to surf every day!) I would class myself as an improving intermediate, cutbacks, reos, floaters but no airs unless by accident and rarely get barrel time. I ride a 6'4" FST spitfire almost solely except for a 7' gun that a pull out a couple of times a year and it has had a bit of a workout a couple of days ago when the surf was crazy big. So my take on the CC. Demoed a 6'4", same length then as my spitfire but an inch less width and about 4L less volume. Waves first day still on the tail end of the big surf episode so 4-5 foot with the odd bigger one coming through now and then. Today was more 2-3 foot but still the odd bigger one coming through. Can't say I noticed the reduced volume compared to my SF much in terms of general paddle around the line up, maybe a touch better to be honest as the thinner nose is heaps easier to duck dive the bombs and probably the reduced litres helps in this regard as well. Wave hold is also much higher than my spitfire, I had a set of K2.1 medium copies in and the board holds into a steeper face much better than the spitfire, although I only run the spitfire as a quad but with large fins and a nubster most of the time. In fact I only managed to come off the one time and that was taking off inside a close out, so it really is a very stable board. Turns nice of the tail as well, wants to go more vertical than the SF but again that might be a bit of a thruster vs quad thing. I was able to get some nice quick turns in but there were a lot of close outs so couldnt say I had definitively felt this thing out. I would say it does need a much steeper face than the SF though, I think my wave count would have been almost 2 to 1 had I have had the SF out, but the SF would have been a handful as the fat take off zone very quickly turned into a big close out. I was finding that I needed the wave to be quite steep to get down the face, it just doesn't have that hyper speed take off shove that the spitfire has, but once up and running it is very quick down the line. I overcame this by adding a couple more paddle strokes, or just trying to take off a lot more critical in the wave, so I would say the wave catching was pretty noticeable. It doesn't like going out into the flats much either, really needs to stay close to the juice to maintain forward momentum, I'm putting both of these attributes down to the tail rocker which probably takes away some of the easy speed but then counters with greater control and directional change as the flip side. So in summary, if you were after just one board and thinking performance hybrid, I would definitely say the CC has a higher top end than the SF and I would consider it for sure, especially if I was looking to surf consistently 3-5' waves. For me I think I will hang on to my SF to cover more of the lower end and then get something a little more high performance for the bigger days.

High school gym construction moving forward
Construction of the gym addition at Pequot Lakes High School is progressing.
As outside appearances come together with metal panels and lettering, the inside of the gym is coming along as well.
The large addition consists of two gyms — a main gym and an auxiliary gym — as well as a weight room, four locker rooms, concessions, community education offices and one classroom.
According to reports from ICS consulting, the walking track along the upper perimeter of the gym is complete. Basketball hoops have been installed, and crews are waiting for moisture to leave the concrete before the maple wood flooring can be installed. Humidity needs to be below 80 percent for the floor to be installed, the report stated.
The main gym is large enough for three basketball courts, and bleachers will be installed that cover the outside two courts during games, holding 2,000 people.
Four new locker rooms are being installed, two for girls and two for boys. Each set has a moveable divider for games, activities director Marc Helmrichs said during a tour of the addition.
Above the locker rooms is the weight room. The current goal is to divide the weight room in thirds, using one-third for cardio equipment, one-third as an open area for pilates or aerobics, and one-third for free weights.
A concession stand is also being constructed, which will face out to the track. Between the track and the concession stand will be a patio with tables where families can have a snack and still be able to watch the game. Helmrichs said he thinks it will be a popular hangout area.
In the hallway outside the gym is another concession stand with rest rooms on either side.
The entrance to the gym is an open-air foyer that is almost entirely windows. Above the entrance to the gym, along the wall, is the Patriots logo and lettering that reads "Pequot Lakes Patriots."
The gym is scheduled for completion this summer. When construction is complete, the old high school gym will become the middle level gym, and the middle level gym will become a cafeteria.

As Kanye West took the stage on the "Saturday Night Live" Season 38 finale to debut new music this weekend, girlfriend Kim Kardashian took to Twitter to promote her man's upcoming album, as well as confirm its release date and title.
"#Yeezus #RedYeezy's #SNL #Tonight #NewSlaves #YeezySeason #Donda #June18," Kim Tweeted, along with a photo of a CD case marked "Yeezus," and a pair of all red Nike Air Yeezy IIs.
(The shoes have yet to be released. Donda is the name of Kanye's late mother, who passed away in 2007.)
PHOTOS: Power Couple Kim Kardashian & Kanye West
Kim's post seems to explain a cryptic Tweet from Kanye in early May which simply read, "June Eighteen." Fans wondered if the post was Kim's due date, an album release date from the rapper or something else entirely.
Kanye performed two news songs on the NBC sketch show, including "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves."
PHOTOS: The Many Men Of Kim Kardashian
On hand to watch her daughter's beau's performance was Kris Jenner.
The Kardashian/Jenner clan matriarch Tweeted a picture of herself with Kristen Wiig, captioned "Backstage at SNL... 4 Sisters!" (referencing "Saturday Night Live's" past Kardashian spoofs, where Kristen portrayed a youth-clinging Kris, who tries to assert she's Kourtney, Kim and Khloe's fourth sister, rather than mother).
Kris also gave a shout out to Kanye, Tweeting, "Here we go SNL!! Kanye on tonight so excited!!"

Bend park board gets tour of Mirror Pond Dam
Rare behind-the-scenes look as debate continues
BEND, Ore. - A big metal fence usually indicates where your tour of the Mirror Pond dam ends.
PacifiCorp opened up the gates Wednesday for a special behind-the-scenes tour. They explained the facility to reporters and Bend Park And Recreation Board members. City Councilor Victor Chudowsky also was on hand.
"We have some gates that we call sluice gates, that essentially we just lift up a little bit, and that drains Mirror Pond," said utility spokesman Bob Gravely. "It's old, and in many cases it shows its age, as anyone whose ever seen it can tell. But at the same time, it is safe."
The century-old dam has indeed seen better days. The most recent leak found in October was just one of many reasons why PacifiCorp decided to pull the plug.
"We've reached the end of the line, as far as that goes," Gravely explained.
While PacifiCorp is ready to pass on the torch, the question is whether Mirror Pond is worth the trouble for Bend Park and Rec, or whatever entity would take it over.
"I think our biggest concern is the age of the facility," said park district Executive Director Don Horton. "You know, any facility that is over 100 is going to have some work that needs to be done, and at this point we don't know what the extent of that work would be."
The next step is a full inspection by Bend Park and Rec of the dam on Friday. For that purpose, PacifiCorp is lowering the water levels of Mirror Pond once again. After that inspection, the decision on what will happen with Mirror Pond is that much closer.
"Our goal, the goal of the city Council and the Park and Recreation Board and the Ad Hoc Committee, all three is to find a way to preserve Mirror Pond," said Horton. "Part of doing that is trying to figure out the condition of the dam -- what needs to be done to maintain the level of the dam."
While PacifiCorp and Bend Park and Rec are still in discussions, PacifiCorp is working on fixing the leak.
They say the $250,000 project should be completed in April or possibly even within the next couple of weeks.

Okay, here we go again with the start of hamstring injuries with Nicks leaving practice. The injuries this team has suffered over the past few years has been unacceptable and although many of them are not related to proper conditioning certainly many of them are!
Regardless, it's time for a new conditioning coach, this should not be happening and there needs to be a change in the way this is handled!

Can you believe I can go into my hives with minumum trouble and not get stung. Today, I was just walking and a bee flew into my forehead and of course stung me. Goes to show you having bees is no more dangerous than walking around outside.
Can you believe I can go into my hives with minumum trouble and not get stung. Today, I was just walking and a bee flew into my forehead and of course stung me. Goes to show you having bees is no more dangerous than walking around outside.
After three seasons keeping bees - caught a swarm, did a cut-out this season and have 13 colonies... I still haven't been stung once.
In fact, I haven't been stung in about 30 years - even working bees as a kid with my Grandfather. I've only been stung by honeybees twice in my life. Once when I stepped on one in bare feet in the clover. The other when I was just watching the hives, and my cousin got scared and batted one with his hat - and it went right into the leg of my shorts and stung me in the butt.
I was probably 12 then.
When the fall flow starts to diminish I usually see and increase in defensiveness while walking past the hive.
All 30 of my hives are are just about in winter mode. No brood and not much foraging activity. The definsiveness is over.
got stung only twice this year.
Check out our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pearlcityapiary
My bees do not mind to inject stuff in me at the good occasion. There are plenty of occasions since beehives are located close to the house. In most cases I got "injection" randomly without obvious reason. Last time I got it when crush-and-strain my last October honey batch- poor thing stuck in the honey and I got "injection" very unexpectedly. Now I know what is the weakest part of my body - a fingertip. My rate is 1 sting in 2-3 weeks, but girls love me in this sense. I think,there is something about different people, some of them could do whichever they wanted with bees and another got stung at the first occasion. I have to admit, that I am in the second category, which is sad because I love my bees...
Серёжа, Sergey
Took 4 stings this year, only 2 was when I was working a hive. One bee was in the recess in the tab on a pf100, when I put my finger over her to pick up the frame, I got stung. The other was putting in Hopguard and the bees got flighty and mean when I was putting in a strip, took one to the wrist. The other two I was just observing but was either smashing ants or looking at something near the entrance and someone took offense. One in the nose, one in the temple on separate occasions, needless to say, I wear my veil now at all times and don't worry about bees getting in my face now and it's much more relaxing.
I get stung several times a week....Hardly worth mentioning. But, it can happen at the most unexpected times.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Worked 11 hives today with no gloves and no stings...until a yellow jacket landed on my little finger which had honey on it and nailed me. This sting was 10 times more painful than any bee sting.
Got stung 6 times this year, all in the space of about 5 minutes, three stings in exactly the same spot on the back of my left hand. Every time I looked down at my hand there was another bee stinging me. This hive was in a very bad mood for one day, since then they have been just as docile as the rest of my hives.

Hanshi Patrick McCarthy (founder of the International Ryukyu Karate Research Society and guest on Episode 001 of the The Applied Karate Show) has announced the release of Volume 15 of his Koryu Uchinadi DVD training series.
Volume 15 provides detailed instruction in McCarthy sensei's two person drill that comprises the most representative receiving techniques (uke waza, also known as blocking techniques) found in karate.
Based on the premise that most attacks are "received" in predictable targets of the body, this extensive drill develops the ability to receive common attacks and setup for counter attacking.
Although I've yet to personally view the video, I did have the opportunity a couple of years ago to learn this drill from McCarthy Sensei. Knowing that this is an excellent drill, coupled with my experience of the excellent production values of the previous volumes, I have no doubt that this will be an excellent DVD. I look forward to receiving a copy soon.
I plan to review this DVD in detail in an upcoming issue of the Essential Karate Newsletter.

Disnerd No. 1: The truly scary thing about Beauty and the Beast isn't that Gaston exists, but that society fucking loves him. People who deride the movie by saying it's about Stockholm Syndrome are ignoring that it's actually about the various ways that truly decent people get othered by society. People don't trust the Beast because of the way he looks, which only feeds his anger issues and pushes him further away. Gaston isn't the only one who criticizes Belle for being bookish, either; the whole town says there must be something wrong with her. And her father gets carted off to a mental asylum for being just a little eccentric. Society rewards the bullies because we've been brought up to believe that their victims don't belong. That if someone doesn't fit in, then they have to be put in their place, or destroyed. And this movie demonstrates that this line of thinking is wrong. It's so much deeper than a standard "be yourself" message, and that's why it's one of my favorite Disney movies.

Swalwell's inappropriate remark in Congress
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on Sep 26, 2013
He said, "I invite my colleagues on the other side to wake up from this radical, ideological wet dream and come back to reality."
Swalwell defeated 20-term incumbent Pete Stark last November. Stark was known for shooting his mouth off and had a career full of comments that were way too quotable for the wrong reasons. Swalwell, who was a prosecutor in Alameda County before winning the seat in Congress, should know much better.
The Washington Post covered the story and described Swalwell's language as an R-rated word.
Perhaps what is more telling is how Swalwell, who has been endorsed by Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi, is toeing the liberal Democrat line. More realistic members of both parties have seen the disaster that Obamacare is becoming and realize that it is clearly not ready to go.
What's more is that the president unilaterally has delayed implementation—breaking the law he signed—for a year for big business and then announced an exemption for members of Congress and their staffs—another violation of the law that specifies members participate in the exchanges. The simple logic—if it's good enough (or bad enough as the case may be) for their constituents, it is good enough for them to be covered.
Some employers now are reducing hours for employees to part-time status, hiring temps or simply not hiring as they wait to see what shakes out.
Ironically, it will be small businesses and self-employed people who will have to deal with the individual mandate in a couple of weeks—the president has put off the law for others.
Swalwell, who has been running for re-election since he won the seat about a year ago, already has kicked off his formal re-election campaign with former CIA chief and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta delivering the keynote address.
The rhetoric on both sides of the aisle on Obamacare and funding the government is intense. Swalwell wrote in a fundraising email that "Washington is in crisis. Our nation is threatened by lawmakers who have insisted that unless they get 100 percent of what they want, they will shutdown the government."
Actually, shutting down the government may do some good. How much have you heard lately about how damaging the sequester has been? What's clear is Democrat leaders have no intention or stomach for rolling back the huge increases in discretionary spending established in the first two years of the Obama Administration. They are okay with borrowing 40 cents of every dollar spent and neither party has done anything to address the demographic train wreck coming with Social Security and Medicare.

Although I'm not a fan of Obamacare,I think some of your statements are incorrect. For example:
Claim: Congress is exempt from the law.
FactCheck.org says: False.
Several versions of this claim have been circulating since before the Affordable Care Act was passed. But no matter how many different ways the critics spin it, Congress isn't exempt from the law. In fact, members and their staffs face additional requirements that other Americans don't. Beginning in 2014, they can no longer get insurance through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, as they and other federal employees have done. Instead, they are required to get insurance through the insurance exchanges.

From the National Review on 9/16 ( Web Link):
"Senator David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, has demanded a floor vote on his bill to end an exemption that members of Congress and their staffs are slated to get that will make them the only participants in the new Obamacare exchanges to receive generous subsidies from their employer to pay for their health insurance."
"Under behind-the-scenes pressure from members of Congress in both parties, President Obama used the quiet of the August recess to personally order the Office of Personnel Management, which supervises federal employment issues, to interpret the law so as to retain the generous congressional benefits."

Sure hope somebody can straighten this out. This the latest from Fact Check:
We also heard some claims that we have debunked before, including these:
•Cruz repeated the false claim that members of Congress are exempt from the health care law. As we have written numerous times, the law requires congressional members and their staffs to get insurance through the newly created exchanges, so they are not exempt. In fact, the law prevents them from getting insurance through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, like other federal employees. However, the federal government, will continue to make contributions toward the premiums of lawmakers and their staffs — just as most large employers do for their employees.

I remember learning the definition of "wet dream" from my sex education class taught to me in Pleasanton during the 70's. I just asked my sixth grader if he was taught the term "wet dream" in his "human growth and development" course last year, he smirked and said, "Yes. Why?"
"Wet dream" is not an R rated term. I'll speak for myself, and I think it's funny, and I think it's great that our young, new congressman from the Tri-Valley is getting some national attention. And by the way, most of Washington needs to wake up from their "radical, ideological wet dreams and come back to reality."

Anything goes, eh, Jack? So much for decorum, ethics and professionalism. But ,then Swallow and folks of his ilk are products of the same public school environment that your son is subjected to. I suppose you think his comments are appropriate since they tend to related to the lowest common denominator and tend to try to bring us all down to that level...or is that assumption 'premature e......."?
Here's to hoping for higher standards from our public officials and that the voting public doesn't get dragged down to the gutter they currently prefer to occupy.

You want to get upset over something? Get upset over this whole Syria debacle! Or the national debt, or all these wars we keep jumping into, or the fact that we still can't get people good, secure jobs. Or get upset that some poor guy lies in a coma because he got beat up in front of his house in Pleasanton...
But your Congressman's use of the phrase "wet dream?"
Wet Dream, wet dream, wet dream, wet dream!!!
It's a phrase taught to fifth graders!
Swalwell made his point!
And as for his "decorum, ethics, and professionalism," I will judge him more on the stance he took on Syria, and the stance he took on TSA wanting to allow knives on airplanes a helluva lot more than his use of "Wet Dream!"
