Financial help for transport home from hospital?
0 answers | Last updated: Dec 09, 2015
Ssi-northern-cal asked...
Hi, I'm 78, on SSI and alone in California. Unfortunately, most if not all of my friends or helpful acquaintances have moved away or passed on.. Whenever I am discharged from an overnight hospital stay, they won't release me unless I hire an expensive ambulatory service to take me to my door - that is, if I can't get a friend to pick me up with either their own car or in a taxi. I cannot pay an ambulatory service without going into debt which I can't pay without giving up essentials. This seems somehow unfair. Like hitting someone when they are down. Thanks, if you can advise.

Bed Bugs Are Landlord's Nightmare
Is It ILLegal To Refuse Potential Tenants If They Had bedbugs In Their Previous Place?
The answer is yes and The closer we are getting to moving date in Montreal, the more I hear about the landlords nightmare. "Bed Bugs", they are worst than ants, cockroaches or mice .
Very costly treatments, and they often come back, because the tenants do not take their responsibilities seriously .
What I found useful was by repeating every 18 days the extermination treatments, for at least 4 times, and reinforcing tenants obligations (the hardest part).
The heat treatment is effective but vey expensive and there are no guaranties for either treatments

General Medicine, Angell Animal Medical Center
Chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death
Chocolate contains methylxanthines (theobromine and caffeine) which stimulate the nervous system. Vomiting and diarrhea usually occur 2-4 hours after ingestion, followed by increased urination, muscle tremors, increased body temperature, and irregular heartbeat. Seizures, coma, and death can occur 12-36 hours after ingestion. There is no specific antidote to give when your dog eats chocolate, but hospitalization for monitoring and supportive care is very important. Possible therapies include medications to make the dog vomit, feeding activated charcoal to absorb the toxins, and administration of sedatives, IV fluids, and other medications. The smaller the dog and the darker the chocolate, the more dangerous the situation.
Grapes and Raisins can cause kidney failure
The toxic compound in grapes and raisins has yet to be identified, but for some dogs ingestion of even a small amount can cause kidney failure. Any dogs can be affected, however some dogs seem to tolerate grapes and raisins without a problem. Clinical signs of toxicity may start a few hours after ingestion and include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, and decreased urine production. Immediate medical care is necessary to try to prevent permanent kidney damage.
Xylitol (sugar substitute) can cause liver failure and blood clotting problems
Xylitol is a sugar substitute commonly used in gum and candy. It has some beneficial effects, such as decreased tooth decay, but in dogs even a small dose can cause a profound drop in blood sugar. Symptoms usually start about 30 minutes after ingestion, and include weakness, lack of coordination, vomiting, seizures, and coma. Treatment involves intravenous administration of a sugar solution and medications to correct electrolyte imbalances. At higher doses, xylitol can cause liver failure and blood clotting problems. Treatment includes supportive care and medications to help improve liver function.
Garlic, Onions, and Chives can cause anemia and kidney failure
Large amounts of these products can significantly damage red blood cells causing anemia and possible kidney failure. While your dog may not choose to eat an entire onion, be aware that baby food (often recommended to improve a sick dog's appetite) frequently contains onion and garlic powder, and garlic supplements contain high doses of concentrated garlic. Signs of toxicity include weakness, pale gums, and rapid heart rate. Blood transfusions, intravenous fluids, and medications are the mainstays of treatment.
Macadamia Nuts can cause weakness, vomiting and fever
Twelve hours after ingestion of macadamia nuts, dogs may show severe weakness, lack of coordination, vomiting, fever, and depression. The reason macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs is not well understood, and most dogs recover well after 24-48 hours. However, hospitalization and supportive care may be necessary to aid recovery.
Kale can cause kidney and bladder stones
Kale might be nutritious for humans, but keep it away from your dogs. Lots of pet owners have started feeding kale ribs to their dogs as a treat, but kale is high in calcium oxalate, which can cause health issues including kidney and bladder stones. Most dogs can recover at home with medication, however hospitalization and supportive care may be necessary to aid recovery.
If you suspect your dog may have eaten any of these items, contact your veterinarian or Angell's 24/7 Emergency Service (617-522-7282) for advice as soon as possible.

Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has vowed to address the public outcry that characterised the creation of chiefdoms and districts.
"We are on a march to destiny in uniting our people and creating value for our shared heritage. As we recognise and respect our common ancestry, situated by God himself, for us to live together in harmony, no narrow ethnic interest that seeks to deny the existence of the other can break through the bond of our unity with God on our side and determination on our part as our destination is certain."
Lalong stated this yesterday while delivering a speech at the presentation of the report of the committees on the review of the creation of chiefdom, districts and villages, and review of remuneration and welfare package of traditional rulers at the Government House, Jos.
"He also said the committee received 47 memos for the creation of chiefdoms, 655 for districts and 4,289 for village areas which leaves no one in doubt that members of the committee ensured that justice was not only done to all, but was seen to have been done in the eyes of the populace.
"The creation of chiefdoms, districts and villages no doubt places premium on the desire of government to place the people under accountable traditional institutions, so as to enhance their values, culture and norms. Appreciation of the responsibilities that occupants of traditional stools carry made government to review their remuneration and welfare packages. It was for this reason that the two committees were inaugurated and for which we have gathered here to receive their reports.
"Today, with the receipt of these reports, our rescue administration is now equipped to address the mockery that was made in the past. We hope that ethnic nationalities will find the necessary drive that would propel community participation in human capital development and by extension, physical development of the state.
"We remain guided by the desire to promote peace in our communities through the cherished ideals of integration, mutual coexistence and respect for cultural values. I assure citizens that our search for a veritable instrument through which we will address their yearnings and aspirations will remain people orientated and hinged on the fulcrum of justice for all.''
Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has vowed to address the public outcry that characterised the creation of chiefdoms and districts.

Everything Austen Challenge
The Everything Austen Challenge from Stephanie's Written Word. Click on the picture for the link. It starts July 1 and goes until January 1, 2010.
My six things:
Audio Books:
- Sense and Sensibility
- Persuasion
- Northanger Abbey
Reading and Teaching:
- Pride and Prejudice
- Pride and Prejudice (excerpts from the miniseries and the Knightley movie and the Great Books introduction)
- Sense and Sensibility
- The Jane Austen Book Club
- Mansfield Park
I know that's more than six things, but in case something doesn't work out, I added extra. If I get word that audio books don't count, I'll revise the list.
Book Giveways

A View and a Sweater
Our nearest sizeable town--35,000 or so--is actually Clovis, NM. What is it famous for? Well, there is Cannon AFB , and Clovis points, a type of prehistoric spearheads, were first found in a gravel pit at nearby Blackwater Draw. That's why they're called Clovis points. The city also has a connection with the early days of Rock and Roll.
This picture was actually made in the rural area north of Clovis called Pleasant Hill, where my mother was born. We don't have much in the way of mountains or rivers in our part of the world, but we do have lots of sky and wonderful clouds.
I have also been doing some knitting. I need to do some reworking of the Jane Austen dress tops for two of my granddaughters, but after knitting three of those and making 3 acrylic afghans since Christmas, my fingers were itching to tackle some wool. I frogged a project that was not turning out as I liked and began the February Lady Sweater. I'm still on the yoke, but it is a pleasure to be knitting with wool again--amazing how much easier it is on the hands.
. The yarn is Elann's Highland Wool in the color Violet Heather. I thought it was interesting that Knitting in Color commented about the name of this color because I was thinking the same thing. The neckline cast on of the sweater is at the bottom. I used a cable cast on, and I'm particularly pleased with the way it looks. Now if I can just make the rest of the sweater turn out as nicely!

A Bathrobe Day (or two)
One of the areas in which we have to keep up is technology. Last summer, we were dealing with a new attendance/grading system and a new web page posting system for our school. This coming year, all the mobile lab computers will finally be converted to Office 2007. Although I've been using the new office for awhile myself, there's a big difference between just using it and being able to a. explain how to use it to a student or b. straighten out a problem. In addition, I want to produce some PowerPoints that I can show on the big screen to help students through the process of setting up an MLA paper format and using the research tools on Word 2007.
Our school was able to arrange on-line courses for us. They consist of a pre-test, videos, hands-on lab, and a post-test. Produced by Learning Key, the ones I've used so far have been quite good, even if significant parts are directed at a large-business environment. Each segment "counts" as 1/2 day of staff development, but I signed up for extra because I felt I needed it. Then, of course, being me, I decided I wanted to get it all done this week! 14 segments! I can assure you that I don't always pass the post-test the first time. I have to take the study guide produced and go back and find where I messed up and what to do about it. So far, I've completed 9 segments--Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Last night, I started Excel, the one that is probably going to eat my lunch. It has 5 segments. Guess what my weekend plans are?
On the other hand, once I get this done, I can concentrate on the rest of the things I want to do here, like cleaning, redecorating our bedroom, and fixing up the fiber studio/sewing room I have planned. And knitting and spinning, of course. Today, though, I am going to my daughter's home to stay with one of her girls while she takes the other to the doctor. I'm excited. I don't get much, if any, alone time with this little one, and I'll get to see DD and the other DGD as well.
OTN--No-purl socks from Lorna's Laces Black Purl--ironic--down to toe on first sock.
February Lady Sweater--about 2" completed
If you have a dugout--which is basically a long narrow chain link cage with one exit--4 six-year old girls and 6 boys the same age in it--and introduce a BIG black bug, there's lots of entertainment value. The boys were all screaming and trying to stomp on it. The girls were all screaming and trying to get away from it. (That's sexist--a couple of girls were stomping and some boys were trying to avoid the bug, but they were ALL screaming.) The scramble was such that the bug crawled right out through the chain link on the other side.

How to Betray your Age
- Accidentally revert to a LONG time ago and instead of referring to grades of gasoline as "unleaded" and "premium," use the terms "regular" and "ethyl." Of course, along with that terminology came the dialogue--"Fill it up with _____, please. And, yes, I would like the oil checked after you finish cleaning the windshield."
- Admit that you watch NCIS, not just for Mark Harmon's great silver hair, but because whenever Ducky comes on screen, this is your mental image:
Illya Kuryakin, from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. As I remember it, the turtleneck was something of a trademark, but when I was looking for pictures to post, most shots were of him wearing a suit and necktie. My students don't quite believe me when I tell them that Ducky was the hot item when I was in high school.

A Quiet Weekend, with Knitting
Yesterday, I finished reading the last book in the Twilight series--the last paper and ink one. I understand there is another published on-line. My review is on my Shelfari shelf. It was better than the other three, I thought. I don't think I'll be rereading this series any time soon, and I have no interest in the movies, except that I might like to see clips of certain scenes.
I also finished listening to a Charlaine Harris audio book while I was doing some household tasks and knitting. This one was ripped from CD to MP3 on my computer, so listening was a little more awkward than from an Audible.com download, but it was also cheaper. I took the time this morning to load a couple of books from OverDrive for my household work this week. One is a mystery story, which is starting out well. The other is a nonfiction work that I'm not sure about. I have the public library chasing down another audio book for me to download from CD. Right now, I'm using all the free services I can get. A friend and I are both doing this, so we can then trade books or CDs and not put the librarian to so much trouble.
For school, I finished and passed all three post tests for an on-line course on PowerPoint 2007. This will count as part of my staff development for next year. That leaves 10 more sections and tests to go for the summer, but I'm gaining some very useful skills and information. Ironically, I find that today's students are less computer interested than those I had a few years ago. They would love to be able to produce researched and formatted documents on their cell phones!
I also picked up knitting again. I'm working on socks, and I finished the gussets and got two more motifs worth down the foot of some No-Purl Monkeys. This afternoon, I swatched for a February Lady Sweater. Here's the result:
Here's where I need advice. The pattern calls for size 8 needles. That's the bottom swatch. The gauge is 18 stitches to 4" in garter stitch. Those are 18 stitch swatches. Size 8 is obviously too big, as is size 7 in the middle. The topmost swatch is about 1/2 stitch over. Now these swatches are wet, so perhaps they will shrink up a little, but I really did not stretch them, just pinned them into shape. Is the top swatch going to be ok, do you think? I know that going down to a 6 will be much too small. I'm probably going to have to do some size adjustments to measurements anyway, so perhaps I can compensate for that 1/2 stitch. Any comments are very welcome.
I also put in a couple of hours cleaning and organizing in the fiber room to be. It is still hard to see any progress, but I'm sure I will be able to see some soon. At least, I hope so.

Roomba Report
Yesterday, I used Roomba on my laminate kitchen floor again. I was very pleased with his performance. The only thing he missed was a little piece of index card that the brush and roller failed to pick up. He did a thorough job otherwise. So what was new? I have a washable throw rug type runner in front of my cabinets and a matching rug in front of the stove. This time, I left them down for Roomba to tackle. He did an acceptable job. There was not a problem with getting on or off the rugs. Of course, I will still have to launder them frequently, but this should cut down on laundering just to remove spilled flour or something.
Now for the very slightly negative. I have 5 chairs in my kitchen that have legs that are wide enough for Roomba to go between. I have observed, though, that I need to pull the chairs out a Roomba width from the table before I start him in order to not slow him down too much. In addition, I need to remove the 5th chair from the room. Othewise, it creates a traffic pattern that is more time-consuming. The reason this is important is that if you slow him down too much, you risk his needing to dock for recharging before he has completely finished the room.
Absolutely no knitting so far this week. It's been a strange week.

Maybe you're into martial arts, but you could do without the kicking and punching. You want to indulge your competitive spirit with a fun, challenging style, but you're not into acrobatics or dance -- nothing showy like that. You figure "heck, if could just learn to immobilize an opponent through a series of throws, takedowns, and pins, that'd be fantastic. I'd sign up for that."
Turns out, you're in luck. Judo offers you the chance to square off against fellow Judokas and use your skills to force them into submission. No fancy kicks, spins, or dance moves required. Just leverage, coordination, strength and a can-do attitude.
What to expect
- Learn the techniques of Judo, a modern Japanese martial arts style
- Incorporate throws, takedowns, and pins to force your opponent into submission
- Indulge your competitive spirit in an adversarial martial arts session
- Boost your stamina, confidence, and preparedness in a comprehensive physical regiment

I have never thought about it. I do not agree with marriage in the first place. I have my reasons why I thin that.00|00|0
There are very few people worth marrying these days and not much in it for western world men. That is how I feel.

.. yeah kind of , because you get to see the true colours of someone when they face challenging situations. You get to see how they respond in an argument... how they deal with it emotionally and physically.
I am not an aggressive person at all , so i would hate to marry a guy who became physically aggressive when he was in an argument , or became emotionally and mentally abusive.. You may never get to see that side of your future wife/husband until if you've had an disagreement and argument with them
This is what I was thinking. I think people understand my question in other way. Happy you understand it :)
Yeah , it's a really good question. It's important to know what a persons personality is like in different situations.

Discreetly Mine leads start to finish in King's Bishop
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Saturday's $250,000 King's Bishop Stakes may not have gone exactly as Todd Pletcher would have envisioned it earlier in the day. But the end result was just what the meet's leading trainer was looking for after Discreetly Mine led throughout to post a 1 1/4-length decision over a game Bank Merger in the Grade 1 dash for 3-year-olds.
Discreetly Mine had used stalking tactics to win his last two starts, and that was the same type of trip Pletcher was expecting again in the seven-furlong King's Bishop. But after it became readily apparent the main track was speed-biased through the afternoon, Pletcher and jockey John Velazquez opted to alter Discreetly Mine's usual running style and put the versatile colt right on the lead if possible. That strategy ultimately paid big dividends.
Breaking alertly, Discreetly Mine was able to outrun the speedy Bulldogger to the lead from the inside, setting a lively pace of 21.90 and 44.11 seconds in the process. Discreetly Mine shook off his early pursuer entering the stretch but then had to fend off serious challenges from Bank Merger and Latigo Shore before ultimately edging clear at the end.
Bank Merger, who entered the race undefeated in two previous starts, rallied four wide off the final turn and continued resolutely to finish second. Latigo Shore was another two lengths further back in third after coming widest into the stretch.
D' Funnybone, the last horse to defeat Discreetly Mine, in the Grade 2 Woody Stephens, stopped badly and was eased to the finish.
Discreetly Mine completed seven furlongs in 1:23.16, his final time 58 of a second slower than Rightly So covered the same distance winning the Victory Ride one hour earlier. He paid $4.10 as the even-money favorite.
"We felt we were a little handcuffed the way the track was playing and by the fact we were breaking inside a fast horse like Bulldogger," said Pletcher, who trains Discreetly Mine for the E Paul Robsham Stables LLC. "The fractions were pretty demanding, and I was just happy he was able to hold on."
Velazquez said his instructions were to seize control of the race right out of the gate if possible.
"Todd said if he breaks well enough to just let him do it and go to the lead, and we were able to do just that," said Velazquez, who notched his 10th stakes and seventh graded stakes win of the meet.

An outfit solution that is definitely in my comfort zone is to wear an total black look and to add a hint of color or a bold element that gives emphasis to the final result. In this case I decided to add a gold touch to a look otherwise boring and dark, and animal print pumps by Michael Kors. Indeed accessories can make the difference.

I bring to your attention a funny and thoughtful comic with a cannabis theme that I'm excited about. You can support the Kickstarter campaign running thru August 31st right here. The project's creator, Jeremy Myers, has found a sweet spot for comics and cannabis fans alike with this mashup of humor, horror, and political commentary. Cannabis and comics do indeed mix, going at least as far back as the Sixties underground. Here is a new generation's turn.

Interview: David Schmader on Literacy, Neighborhoods, LGBTQ, and Cannabis
David Schmader is an American writer known for his solo plays, his writing for the Seattle newsweekly The Stranger, and his annotated screenings of Paul Verhoeven's "Showgirls." He is the author of the 2016 book "Weed: The User's Guide." And he is the Creative Director of the Greater Seattle Bureau of Fearless Ideas, a literary arts center offering free programs for youth ages 6 to 18. I had the opportunity to interview David and discuss better approaches to community and seeking common ground. Locally, for those of us who are a part of the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle, we have been undergoing a recharge, a rallying around, after a gas leak explosion that tore into the fabric of everyday life. With BFI preparing to return to its original Greenwood site this month, it seemed to me a good time to check in with a thoughtful leader in our community. I begin our interview going back to that March 9th gas leak explosion in the middle of the night. Fueled with cups of coffee, we settled in at Couth Buzzard Books for this interview.

Book Review: WEED: THE USER'S GUIDE by David Schmader
With cannabis, you have a loaded subject, so to speak. Bringing up marijuana can often elicit nervous giggles. And people usually don't know what they are giggling about. It's time for all of us, especially government, to grow up. As cannabis continues to go mainstream, all of us, users and nonusers, need to get better educated on a very misunderstood plant. Over time, the general public will come to accept the many medical benefits derived from cannabis. What is more challenging is for everyone to enter a parallel universe where cannabis is accepted, integrated into our lives, and its use is common knowledge. To that end, one of the very best cannabis books as of late is "Weed: The User's Guide: A 21st Century Handbook for Enjoying Marijuana" by David Schmader, published by Sasquatch Books.
The good news is that, for responsible folks, easy accessibility to weed should be a relatively easy transition. Retail sales of cannabis in Washington state, for example, are already geared to an older, and supposedly wiser, demographic. These are going to be, by and large, people who have a stake in the community and are basically going to do the right thing, so to speak. They will buy some weed and treat it in the way they would having a glass of wine on the weekend. Well, that is one ideal scenario. Schmader's book covers not only this neat and tidy group but all of us. People can overdo it. People can go blindly into something. You know, all of us.
What I really love about this book is that, along with being entertaining, it is so honest in its approach. Hey, if weed it not for you, well then, that's totally valid. Here is a great example of Mr. Schmader's accessible and natural tone running throughout this essential book:
"Weed's pleasurable effects are brought on by cannabinoids's disruption of the brain's neural messaging–but "disrupting neural messaging" is an imprecise art, and different strains in different brains can create effects that cross the line from pleasant and fascinating to itchy and weird. For example, the neuron-disruption that some users experience as expanded consciousness can trap others in a cul-de-sac of hypercritical introspection, and one person's THC-driven explosion of creative ideas can be another person's panic attack. The truth is that a good number of people who try weed experience predominately unpleasant effects, from intense anxiety to racing heart rates to crippling self-consciousness, and if you are one of these people, it is your right to never try weed again, no matter how persuasively it's pitched to you. Think of it like coffee: Some love it and can't imagine life without it, while others drink it and become insomniacs with diarrhea."
The above quote is part of the sensible approach that is much needed as the discussion on cannabis moves forward. It is insightful to use the coffee analogy. If a person picks that apart, it might prove to be a useful reference point. The consumption of cannabis can be a challenge to compare to something else or describe in an objective way. Supporters will cite that no one has died from overusing it. However, misuse of it will mess you up just like beer, wine, or even coffee, can trash you in their own unique ways.
As a connoisseur, Schmader is good at not mincing words and getting to the point. Among numerous insightful factoids, you'll learn one of the best weed hacks is to eat a mango before getting high. Both cannabis and mangoes have the chemical compound, myrcene, which speeds the delivery of THC to the brain. Schmader provides straightforward instruction on everything from how to use a bong to how to turn an apple into a pipe. You'll get acquainted with a "green hit," the first draw from a freshly packed bowl. You'll get helpful suggestions on dose levels. And you'll get cut-above recipes like his instructions on how to make your own tinctures.
Given the chance, some people would eat a whole chocolate cake. Thanks to David Schmader's book, you can see how you can avoid eating the whole cake and still have a fun party.
"Weed: The User's Guide: A 21st Century Handbook for Enjoying Marijuana" is a 208-page paperback. For more details, visit Sasquatch Books right here.

Seattle Focus: David Bienenstock and HOW TO SMOKE POT (PROPERLY) on May 18th at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park

Book Review: 'How to Smoke Pot (Properly): A Highbrow Guide to Getting High' by David Bienenstock
As a Seattle native, I have had a front row seat to the recent sea change we have seen with cannabis. But, even in this fabled region, you can experience two steps forward and one step back. All you need to do is see how the current state regulations have forced medical marijuana dispensaries out in favor of the more tax revenue to be had from retail marijuana shops. But these are still exciting times for an extraordinarily beneficial plant that has been so terribly maligned. A perfect guide for the times is the newly released book, "How to Smoke Pot (Properly): A Highbrow Guide to Getting High," by David Bienenstock, published by Plume, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
David Bienenstock is your uniquely qualified host. He is the former West Coast editor of High Times magazine and now a journalist and video host/producer at VICE, where he writes the Weed Eater column and produces a video series called Bong Appetit. He is the guy who will share a joint with you and, as the conversation rolls along, will segue into some history, some science, and some sage advice. The idea here is to show some respect for the plant and yourself. Bienenstock does a great job of balancing his content so it is not too light and yet easy to digest. A book like this can't help but be a call to action moving along at a good, steady, and stirring pace.
What all the cannabis shops have done is not only bring a plant out from the cold. The shops have welcomed back numerous people who had given up ever again having reliable and trusted access. Many people are coming back who have not gotten high in many years, or who never did in the first place. So, a book like this truly serves any age. Bienenstock, like a good journalist, makes no assumptions on your experience or level or knowledge while, at the same, keeps advancing. If you don't know the difference between indica and sativa, Bienenstock has got you covered. If you'd like a handy overview of cannabis chemistry, well, keep on reading.
The beauty of the book is that Bienenstock's good sense for storytelling wins out every time. In tune with his reader, Bienenstock presents a dazzling array of facts, heart-felt observations, and a humanity that should melt the heart of many a naysayer. Mostly, it's a book there to provide a helping hand in appreciating cannabis. But, as Bienenstock joyfully sings to us, it's also about a state of mind, dude! The goal is not to necessarily smoke each and every day. The goal is to savor those times when you do. And strive to tap into that bliss the rest of the time. That's about as highbrow and proper as it gets.
"How to Smoke Pot (Properly): A Highbrow Guide to Getting High" is a 288-page paperback, also available as an e-book. For more details, visit Penguin Random House right here.

Seattle Hempfest 2015: Community, Activism, Music, and Vaping
If you want an inspiring call to action, then listen to Stephanie Viskovich, a longtime cannabis activist who has formed The Viper's Club, a political action committee with the goal of entirely decriminalizing cannabis in the United States. The eloquence and passion of Ms. Viskovich was appreciated by her audience at this year's Hempfest in Seattle made up from all walks of life, young and old. Hempfest took place this year from August 14th through 16th at Myrtle Edwards and Centennial Parks.
Hempfest is a great tradition here in Seattle dating back to 1991. There has been change but there's still a long road ahead. It is less than three years since the passing of I-502 and the so-called "legalization" of recreational cannabis. But, as Ms. Viskovich points out, you can still be charged if you are found to have more than an ounce in your possession.
It is still a long road ahead to fully ending the prohibition of cannabis in the United States. Seattle Hempfest provides a vital role of educating the public and spurring them on to action with a peace-loving gathering that is part state fair, a music festival, and an old-fashioned BYOC cannabis garden. There is so much to cover on the subject of cannabis. Where to begin? The profound health benefits of CBD? How about the fact that our military veterans are still having trouble with obtaining medical cannabis? The list grows long very quickly. For this feature, I am doing my best to touch on various aspects of cannabis and highlight some exciting items.
New ways of engaging with cannabis are taking root. For a younger generation, there are more options. Some are happy to keep it old school with dry herbs. For others, it's oils and waxes, cannabis in a more concentrated form. Walk down among the vendors and you'll find various rigs for dabbing. There is the intense monster, The MiniNail, from Full Tilt Technologies. Or maybe you prefer something more sleek and high tech like The Prodigy from Spry.
And then there's the vapes! The popularity of vape pens, portable pen-like vaporizers, is undeniable. The Oxford Dictionary selected "vape" as its Word of the Year in 2014. Among the vape pen vendors at Hempfest this year, one that stands out is local company, Vuber Technologies. I had the opportunity to try out their Atlas vape, for wax and oil concentrates, and it totally works like a dream: very easy to use and it produces quality vape.
The vapors from the Vuber Atlas are light, smooth, and robust. A little goes a long way so all it takes it just a "dab" of wax applied near the coils. The Atlas has a dual-titanium coil heating element wrapped around a ceramic core that provides a flavorful experience. The battery is a sturdy 900 mAh solid-state. The Atlas comes with an additional atomizer, a mount for your pen, a container for wax, and a dabber. For an additional price, you can add a globe atomizer.
Wander around some more and KASHI hemp clothing will catch your eye. Or maybe Gogo Pipes. Or how about meeting legendary comedic talent and activist Tommy Chong. And, once at Hempfest, you'll also want to join the cannabis community in a significant way by getting the Leafly app. It's true that one part of Hempfest is a trade show but it's put together with plenty of authenticity. And it's easy to take for granted all these various interests gathered together in a safe and supportive environment.
Plenty of music to enjoy at Hempfest, for sure. From the mellow acoustics of Jessica Domingo to the headbanging heavy metal of Jahai, there is a lineup here that holds its own with Bumbershoot. Seriously, Bumbershoot, the granddaddy of music festivals, would not turn its back on any of the performers at Hempfest.
I end this feature where I began with thoughts on the road ahead. When Stephanie Viskovich invited her audience to visit the booth of legendary cannabis advocate Ed Rosenthal, I had to go over and pay a visit. I got Ed to autograph a card. And I promised to spread the word about The Viper's Club. If you would like to help decriminalize cannabis, visit The Viper's Club website right here. And, if you're in Seattle, be sure to attend Canna Comedy Night all in support of The Viper's Club at Laughs Comedy Spot on September 27th. Details are right here.
As Stephanie Viskovich states, the issue of cannabis comes down to a human rights issue. That simple fact is resonating with people all the more in the U.S. and around the world. So, if you're new to all this, or if you have considered attending, be sure to visit Hempfest next year as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. Keep in mind that Hempfest costs over $1 million dollars a year to produce. Be sure to donate at the event and through annual memberships. Visit our friends at Seattle Hempfest right here.

Seattle Focus: Dockside Cannabis and Marijuana in the Marketplace
A really interesting thing is going on right under many folks' noses. Whatever your views on marijuana, it is undeniable that history is being made as a huge shift is gaining momentum. The notion that someday marijuana will be on par with alcohol in the marketplace is working its way into reality. Just consider Dockside Cannabis, a very attractive and professional new retail store for recreational marijuana. Located in Shoreline, a suburban area north of Seattle, the store had its grand opening on December 6, 2014, with a whole new way of doing business and bringing about a whole new way of seeing marijuana as something as familiar and relaxing as a glass of wine at the end of the day.

|RE: mod_cache does not return a 304 Not Modified
|Fri, 10 Sep 2004 01:23:08 GMT
Ok, I've tried with 2.0.50, 2.0.51-rc2, and also APACHE_2_0_BRANCH. They all seem to be exhibiting the same miss-handling of a conditional request. Here's what I've found out. The problem seems to be with the If-None-Match condition, or more specifically, any condition that requires an Etag. It seems as though, during the execution of mod_cache.c (and mod_disk_cache.c), the function ap_meets_conditions() (in http_protocol.c) is called, which **properly** evaluates the request conditions and returns the correct status code. The problem is that, right at the beginning of the function, the Etag value is attempted to be retrieved from the r->headers_out table, but the value is always NULL (at least when called from mod_cache.c), which causes later conditional checks to always fail, and a status of OK to be returned. The one case that you can get a HTTP_NOT_MODIFIED status to be returned is if you specify a (*) as your Etag in the request, e.g. If-None-Match: * I would love to help out and try to fix this but, after looking at the code and debugging for quite a bit, I can't seem to find the appropriate place where the Etag value is supposed to be read in from the ".header" file into the r->headers_out table. If anyone wants to point me in the right direction or have a look themselves, it would be much appreciated. Best regards, Michael Corcoran. -----Original Message----- From: Justin Erenkrantz [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 6:14 PM To: email@example.com Subject: Re: mod_cache does not return a 304 Not Modified --On Wednesday, September 8, 2004 2:51 PM -0700 Michael Corcoran <email@example.com> wrote: > I've looked at the code a little bit (Apache 2.0.50), and at first > glance, it seems as though proper 304 response handling might not > actually be fully implemented yet. Is that actually the case, or am I just missing something. You should try the APACHE_2_0_BRANCH HEAD, the latest CVS snapshots, or 2.0.51 release candidates at: <http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/> 2.0.51 (coming soon) will have a bunch of changes to mod_cache that *may* fix this. mod_disk_cache doesn't do anything worthwhile in 2.0.50 due to a lot of bugs and brokenness. -- justin

Top three flea markets of Goa
A tour without souvenirs and gifts is an incomplete trip. Gifts for friends and family are a must, no matter whether you are off to a holiday or a business trip. Goa! A destination that has had the pleasure of witnessing footprints of every Indian youngster, if not several times, at least once. Almost everyone makes sure to buy something for their friends and family while leaving the sandy beaches of Goa.
In Goa, it's not just about buying and shopping but also collecting souvenirs. In addition to this, the flea markets of Goa offer some amazing gifts for everyone looking forward to buying something to take back home. All Goa tourism packages offered by companies make sure to take their clients to the Goa flea markets, not just to empty their pockets, but fill their bags and hearts with the amazing shopping options available at these markets, so here are a few of the famous markets of Goa, that you should not miss at any cost, make sure you hustle your way through the crowd.
Anjuna Flea Market
Undoubtedly the most important date in the Anjuna diary, market day scores an amazing count of not just local but even expat vendors descending on the market site, to haggle the day away over clothing, jewellery, souvenirs and a good deal, these days, of usual tourist tat.
Arpora Saturday Night Market
The one stop place to shop, eat and party, what could be better? Well, the Saturday night market held at Arpora offers you all. Just with a short taxi ride from most beaches in North Goa, this market is held on every Saturday starting 6 pm and ending at midnight.
Mapusa Market
The Mapusa market goes about its business daily, Sundays being an exception, but Friday mornings are the ones that really get the shoppers going. The Mapusa market is a raucous affair that attracts vendors and shoppers from all over Goa, with an entirely different vibe to the Anjuna market.

Sample Java program shows how to write to COM port using Java.

This Sample Java program shows how to write to COM port using Java.
If you are one of those living still in the 20th century then your JDK probably doesn't come with the Java COMM API. So you would have to download the Java Comm Api from http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/. On the other hand if you are using one of the later versions of JDK then the Java Comm API should be inbuilt together with your JDK. Once you have this then create a sample program to read from the PC's COM port. And then copy and paste the below code into that program. Compile and run it. If the compilation fails then it is probably due to some classpath problem. You will have to add the javax.comm api to your classpath properly.
import java.io.*; import java.util.*; import javax.comm.*; public class SimpleWrite { static Enumeration portList; static CommPortIdentifier portId; static String messageString = "Hello, world!\n"; static SerialPort serialPort; static OutputStream outputStream; public static void main(String[] args) { portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers(); while (portList.hasMoreElements()) { portId = (CommPortIdentifier) portList.nextElement(); if (portId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL) { if (portId.getName().equals("COM1")) { //if (portId.getName().equals("/dev/term/a")) { try { serialPort = (SerialPort) portId.open("SimpleWriteApp", 2000); } catch (PortInUseException e) {} try { outputStream = serialPort.getOutputStream(); } catch (IOException e) {} try { serialPort.setSerialPortParams(9600, SerialPort.DATABITS_8, SerialPort.STOPBITS_1, SerialPort.PARITY_NONE); } catch (UnsupportedCommOperationException e) {} try { outputStream.write(messageString.getBytes()); } catch (IOException e) {} } } } } }

It's an understatement to say that IT departments are busy. From maintenance to troubleshooting, managing ongoing projects and overseeing resolutions on outages or system failures, there's often little time for future project planning. However, when details get lost in the shuffle, that's when costly mistakes happen. These mistakes can carry a heavy price tag, affecting your personal reputation and that of your organization. What's worse is that these aren't your "I spilled my coffee on a server" moments. These are systematic failings that many IT organizations make—often needlessly.

Android apps may not be coming to Windows 10
The media was a abuzz a while back with chatter about Microsoft's decision to bring Android apps to Windows 10 Mobile. But now it looks like that may never happen as the effort seems to be dying a slow death.
Daniel Rubino reports for Windows Central:
Astoria is an Android emulator meaning devs do not have any real work to do. Instead, the phone ran the Android APK file directly. Early Insider builds of Windows 10 Mobile had this layer in the OS letting consumers sideload APK files directly. Not only did this project make app piracy easy, it undercut Windows developers who would have little reason to make native Windows apps anymore.
Windows Central is now hearing from multiple sources that Project Astoria is on hold indefinitely, and maybe even shelved completely. Although Microsoft is not publicly — even privately — stating Astoria is cancelled, they are not openly talking about it anymore, or even privately discussing it with developers.
The interpretation by others familiar with the matter is that Astoria is not happening anytime soon and Microsoft has yet to find a way to announce the news publicly. Indeed, while the news will be welcomed by Windows developers, it could come across as a failure by the company to execute on a publicly announced strategy.
Windows Central readers reacted to the possibility that Android apps may never come to Windows 10 Mobile in a long thread with more than 600 responses:
BradleyJ: "I don't think any Android or iOS developers are going to use MS tools. Windows phone is completely irrelevant. Our only hope was side-loading, and only Astoria offered that. Now there really is no hope for apps on W10 Mobile. Think about it: more apps are leaving Windows phone than coming. Anything that requires developer involvment is a non-starter."
Dinchy87: "As a Windows Dev working on Windows universal apps i think this is the right decision to do. It would have wasted to much time and money for what?! Only that 5% Android devs consider to make ports?! Will this change anything? No. Because the majority od android devs never considered to make Windows app ports via Astoria when they was asked about Astoria. Its only a negative step to the particular userbase of Windows 10 Mobile that wanted to use apk files on Windows 10 Mobile. But this is not gonna happen and im happy because i also dont want to see my apps without my consent on other platforms to be pirated."
DJCBS: "...YOU as a Windows Dev should NOT be thinking this is good. Because if developers don't port apps for Windows 10, the only person that will end up being affected is YOU. And you know why? Because Windows apps don't live on Windows PCs. Most Windows 10 PC users don't care about the Windows Store. Many don't even know it exists. And with Windows Phone dead, if these bridges keep burning, you'll be out of a platform to develop to in the near future. Because these UWAs are the last breath of artificial life Microsoft is breathing into WP. If they fail, Microsoft officially scratches the entire Windows apps project because the other platforms they have can use different tools instead of apps."
Erzhik: "5% is always better than 0%. And if 5% make top notch apps, which will gain interest and revenue on WP , who says the other 95% wouldn't change their minds? But if there is 0%, there is nothing to change any minds. I'd rather have 5%, than no WP at all."
Ariez84: "Piracy is in the DNA of Android apks....if it doesnt take much time to port over to Win10M, why not just port it over and see how well it does on Windows 10 platform? Devs are use to their apps being pirated since google makes it too easy to sideload them."
ZvjerOPC: "Cancelling project Astoria is great news for me. I'm a fan of my fast OS and I would hate it being drowned with Java VM."
Pinecone1532: "This is actually a really big blow personally. I was kind of relying on Project Astoria to provide me with the one or two apps I'm missing out on (most importantly Periscope, Snapchat and YikYak - whist I accept those aren't a big deal for everyone, the lack of snapchat is actually a massive problem for me and the loss of Yodel was a big hit too) and a better Tumblr client (I have to use two different apps for it since all the WP ones only meet some of my needs and misso out other important features). If that isn't happening, then I'm probably going to have to leave WP and jump over to Android. Don't geet me wrong I love Windows Phone (I've been on here since WP7, and my last five phones have been Windows) and I'm really not a fan of a lot of things about Android but personally WP just doesnt meet my needs any more."
WPBlox1989: "Snapchat, Periscope and Yik Yak are also available on iOS and can recompiled through Project Islandwood. For Snapchat, it's just their developers will never recompile it for Windows 10 because their CEO Evan Spiegel is a anti-Windows person, he even once controversially said that Windows Phone does not have a big marketshare showing his hate for Microsoft and the Windows ecosystem."
RayWP7: "I realize that the "app gap" is a huge issue for many many, emulating Android apps on Windows isn't the answer. The impact to Windows development is probably the single most important thing to consider - I think. Windows 10 Mobile needs to stand on its own merits, or not at all. I know many won't like that position, but it is how I feel. Otherwise, why not just use another platform? There are various obstacles to developers not writing native apps, but most of that is simply a choice based on user base. Consider Facebook and their native app! A billion(s) dollar company can't afford to do an app with feature parity of other platforms? No, it is a choice. You can't argue with their reasoning... but saying that emulating other platforms will bring more people which will then incentivise developers to code for Windows 10 is kind of an awkward and convoluted thinking."
Tdb1: "Could Microsoft's thinking go like this?: There is substantial overlap between Android and iOS apps. A ported iOS app will work better than an Android app in an emulator. If Astoria exists, developers may prefer the Astoria approach over Islandwood, resulting in a worse experience for Windows users. So kill Astoria for now, and push developers to port through Islandwood. Then after a while when most everyone willing to do an iOS port has done so, consider whether you still need Astoria to close the app gap further. Could that be the thinking?"

ICC will succeed by letting Libya advance
By JULIETTE KAYYEM
New York Times News Service
The new Libyan government has plenty of worries. There was the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Both Islamist militias and armed groups allied with the late Moammar Khadafy still roam the streets. Without a strong central government, the democratically elected leadership is struggling to assert its authority. And now it is at war with the International Criminal Court, in The Hague, over who has jurisdiction in the trial of Saif Khadafy, Moammar's prized son and onetime heir-to-be. It is a senseless power struggle and one that already has a clear loser: the ICC. The question is whether the court will bring Libya down with it.
The ICC's involvement with Libya has been contentious from the start. Many commentators, including myself, were mystified when a UN resolution authorized the ICC to issue arrest warrants against Khadafy and his allies in the middle of NATO operations. The move undermined the tenuous diplomatic options that were still available in mid-2011, before the leader was caught and killed; by indicting Khadafy and his inner circle, the ICC effectively removed any chance they could be persuaded to give up power peacefully and go into exile, sparing Libya months of bloodshed. The ICC — formed to prosecute the world's worst human-rights abusers — has struggled for relevancy. The unenforceable Libyan indictments seemed an act of desperation.
A lot has happened since then, including an election in Libya. Saif Khadafy has been captured and is being held in Tripoli. He is a prisoner with plenty of secrets to disclose and lots of blood on his hands. Saif was once the charismatic face of Libya's future, a Cartier-wearing globe-trotter who was in bedouin dress when he was found in the desert. Saif and his co-defendant, the former spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi, who had fled to Mauritania until he was extradited, were both well-dressed torturers.
The ICC, at first, agreed that Libya was capable of trying the two defendants at a court in Tripoli. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the ICC's chief prosecutor during its ill-timed indictments, pivoted and ceded all authority to Libya. But Moreno-Ocampo has since retired, and the ICC lawyers who were appointed to represent the defendants are back to challenging Libya's jurisdiction. The two defendants, fearing a worse outcome at the hands of their countrymen, are arguing that Libya is incapable of giving them a fair trial. Tensions are so bad that, earlier this year, four ICC defense investigators were detained in Libya after interviewing Saif.
The jurisdictional question went before the ICC last week, where judges will decide whether the court should go forward with its own prosecutions or stand down. First, a slight reality check: The defendants are in Libya. Unless the ICC is willing to request international military action to steal them, they are staying in Libya. No court order will change that. So any ruling in favor of ICC jurisdiction is only about some exalted notion of the ICC's own worth. Libya has spent considerable effort trying to convince the ICC that the new regime oversees a serious and fair-minded government. For an international court to rule, essentially, that it does not, would be an unjustified and wholly unnessessary blow to a fledgling democracy.
There can be little doubt what Saif and al-Senussi would prefer. The ICC does not impose death, and its trials have dragged on for years. Hanging out in a European prison would be a big step up for both defendants. But the ICC was not created to provide more humane treatment for global human-rights violators — it was to impose justice when local governments can't or won't.
The ICC represents the proposition that newly free nations should punish their abusive former leaders through court, rather than summary execution. It suggests that a legal reckoning with the past can help countries break free of horrible legacies. Instead of challenging Libya's efforts to do just that, the ICC could have aided in its probe and given the technical advice necessary to help Libya become a nation under rule of law.
Hopefully, the ICC judges will come to see the futility of fighting Libya. Maybe then, both parties can begin to heal the rift that began when Libya was in the throes of war and Saif Khadafy was still wearing Cartier.

M.W. Sewall & Co. Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Operator of 15 Clipper Mart convenience stores and car washes does not plan to close stores.
PORTLAND, Maine -- The Bath, Maine-based M.W. Sewall & Co., operator of 15 Clipper Mart convenience stores and car washes along southern Maine's Route 1 corridor, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week, according to an Associated Press report.
In its petition, Family-owned M.W. Sewall & Co. said it's reorganizing operations and does not plan to close any stores, the report stated. The company employs approximately 150 people and also sells heating oil and modular homes.
Weak business at the company's modular housing division, Landmark Homes, and last summer's run up in oil prices led to the filing, according to the company's attorney, George Marcus. "This should be invisible to the customer," he told news Web site Mainebiz.biz.
Published reports state the company lists Citgo Petroleum as its largest unsecured creditor, with roughly $1.2 million. Its assets and liabilities are listed between $10 million and $50 million, according to the petition filed Friday and cited by Mainebiz. The second-largest unsecured creditor is Pine State Trading Co. of Augusta, with a $282,000 claim.
