Beautiful lamp
By jjcydney
from Cumbria
About Me Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish
I bought two of these for the living room as I wanted to have some statement pieces...these really fit the bill. They are beautifully designed, large lamps which give very good light. The only quibble I have is that you have to switch them on and off at the mains; they could do with a switch on the lead itself, but this is only a tiny flaw. Oh, they are also incredible value!
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt and all items were well packed and in excellent condition.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Do over-the-counter Estroven and Benadryl interact with levothyroxine?
- Q: I'm 60. I stopped taking Estroven and Benadryl, and my hot flashes seemed to stop. But now I have experienced nosebleeds two nights in a row. Do over-the-counter Estroven and Benadryl interact with levothyroxine (all taken 4 hours apart)?
- A: A review of package inserts and medical literature did not show information to suggest an interaction occurs between Estroven, Benadryl (diphenhydramine), and levothyroxine. The most common causes of nosebleeds are dryness and nose picking. One of the side effects of Benadryl is dryness in the mouth, nose, and throat. It is possible that they are related, but if you have stopped taking the Benadryl, then this is less likely. Other causes of nosebleeds include injuries, colds and allergies, and high blood pressure or blood clotting disorders. If you are concerned about your medications or your nosebleeds, please contact your health care provider. Michelle McDermott, PharmD

Verizon to offer data plans for iPad of up to 5GB for $50, with a catchFollowing its initial announcement on sales of the iPad this morning, Verizon has provided more detailed information on the MiFi 2200 rates and data plans it intends to offer customers alongside the Apple tablet when it goes on sale at company stores beginning October 28th.
In addition to the 1GB data plan for $20 per month announced earlier, Verizon now says it will also offer a 3GB plan for $35 and a 5GB plan for $50. Those rates are available at steep discounts to the wireless carrier's typical offerings, which cost $35 for 250MB and $60 for 5GB.
There is one catch: customers must purchase a WiFi iPad and Verizon MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot together as a bundle to get the discounted data plan prices. Even customers who already own a MiFi 2200 but don't own an iPad aren't eligible for the rates should they choose to buy an iPad from Verizon, according to a set of frequently asked questions.
Users who go over their monthly quota will see some relief, however, as Verizon has followed AT&T's lead in charging just $10 extra for each additional 1GB on both the $35 and $50 plan. The carrier is hoping customers choose one of those pricer plans and is giving them an incentive to do so by charging double — $20 per additional 1GB — on the low-end $20 plan.
By comparison, AT&T is offering two plans at heftier rates: $14.99 per month for 250MB and $25 per month for 2GB. While AT&T and Verizon require that users agree to a service agreement when applying to use their 3G services, both services are available on a month-to-month basis with no termination fee.
As for Verizon's bundle pricing, mentioned earlier, a MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot and 16GB iPad will sell for $629.99. The 32GB model and hotspot will retail for $729.99 while the 64GB iPad combo will sell for $829.99.
Verizon's MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot typically costs $299 on its own, or between $0.01 and $50 with a new 2-year service agreement.

Do any of you ladies go to certain coupon sites for grocery stores?
Since FI and I moved in together I have been on the hunt for buying things for ay cheaper. We do have a BJs and Costco nearby and we use them for only bulk items.
I saw this show on TV called ultimate couponing or something of that nature where one woman bought 100's of items and only spent 3 bucks.... So...
anyone know of any REALLY good coupon sites where I can print coupons on and bring to the stores?
retailmenot seems like it's only online.

there's a thread here with the online coupon sites. I am also trying to start a coupon train but it doesn't seem to be happening right now. : (

Bentley, who held a news conference near a community safe room that sheltered 200 residents behind the Clements Volunteer Fire Department, said he has seen close to 90 tornadoes in Alabama since he was elected in 2010.

Holiday traffic expected to increase nationally but drop slightly in Virginia. Gas prices are still high, about on par with last year, so travelers probably will spend less.
Date published: 11/20/2012
The Virginia State Police beef up patrols during major holidays, and they'll do that during the five-day Thanksgiving travel period.
Last year, the state police reported 884 crashes and nine deaths during the Thanksgiving period. None of the deadly crashes happened locally.
In Stafford County, the sheriff's office will start an initiative this week aimed at drunken and drugged drivers.
Deputies will set up checkpoints on various roads in the county to catch drivers who've been drinking or using drugs.
The program will run through the New Year's holiday.
For those trying to figure out when to leave, AAA reports that most travelers plan to depart home on Wednesday and return Sunday.
For those heading north, be prepared for the change to the HOV lanes on Interstate 495.
Those lanes are now express lanes that are electronically tolled and require vehicles to have an E-ZPass device.
Vehicles carrying at least three people can use the lanes free, but these vehicles must have an E-ZPass Flex transponder. Motorcyclists can ride the lanes free and do not need a transponder.

MUNSTER | Police are looking for Dr. Promila Mehta-Paul, an ophthalmologist, who didn't show up for work Tuesday at her medical office on Kennedy Avenue in Highland.
Munster and Highland police are conducting a joint investigation into her disappearance. Mehta-Paul, 70, was last seen Monday at her office, but she didn't return to work Tuesday despite having appointments scheduled for the day, Munster police said in a news release. She also did not notify her staff she would not be at work on Tuesday.
Mehta-Paul's family and co-workers have not heard from her since Monday, which they said is unusual. Police checked her Munster home and said it appeared she hadn't been in the building for several days.
Mehta-Paul is a white woman of Indian descent. She is about 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 130 pounds, has brown eyes and brown hair.
Anyone with information about where Mehta-Paul is or anyone who may have seen her since Monday is asked to call the Munster Police Department at (219) 836-6600 or the Highland Police Department at (219) 838-3181.

This hotel is an amazing place to go spend time with friends, family and just you relaxing at in an hotel with ocean view rooms and superior all inclusive plan better than most hotels I have been to. The time I went here, I saw a couple having a very romantic wedding and their honeymoon here afterwards and it was such an amazing event. The price is right for this place, it may not be all that on top but it is really great and they make use of what they have to provide the best to their customers and that was a good deal. The rooms here are incredible, imagine having to wake up to such an amazing view of the ocean, it was truly nice. The staff was incredible, the reception staff was very warm, the bartenders made sure to get you exactly what you ordered for and the entire staff of the hotel did their best and provided the best to the clients. The serving staff at the restaurants especially at the buffet was very friendly and I got talk to some of them and you could tell they enjoyed their jobs. The buffet options were much so food wasnt boring during my stay at this hotel. The rooms were up to my taste and up to standard, the bathrooms are clean and the towels and all were replaced often. I enjoyed the swim up bar, nice staff there as well as the place I go to have fun with other guests.

The rooms were clean, comfortable and a place to shower and sleep. I spent most of my time at the amazing/beautiful beach and participating in the various activities. The food at the buffet was also very good. I went to a few a la cartes for the experience however this wasn't necessary. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Safety was important to me because I was travelling as part of a group of single women. I never once worried about my surroundings.

clean and well maintained

It was bad from the time we arrived at 1am. The main lobby had a very bad odour.Perhaps because because of the smoking? We were transported to our room in the "exclusive" beach club + area on the back of a flat bed pickup. All down hill from there. The lights in our stair wells never worked. The beach club Jacuzzi was out of order all week The two washrooms at the beach club pool were also blocked off all week long. It took two people to open the patio door. Our neighbors all had the same problem.The in-house money exchange was down the first three days.(computer problems)Food was the worst we have ever had in Cuba. If it was labelled, it probably wasn't labelled right. The beach club and beach bars both ran out of beer twice. When asked when there would be more I got "Don't know, maybe today"
The place is badly run down. One elevator is stuck between floors. Three missing panes of glass at the top of the main rotunda have been replaced with sheets of plywood propped in place.The list goes on and on. One person even got his room changed because there was a spring sticking out of the mattress! We had a mattress & box spring propped against the wall of our stair well for three days. The only saving grace was the great weather and good beach. Even the good weather deserted us for the final three days. This was our third trip to Cuba and will be our last.
Room Number:
The back of a flat bed pickup truck at 1am? Not good!
The patio doors do not work. Old and worn out beds.
Restaurants and Bars:
Buffet was the worst we have ever had. The ala cartes were as bad. No bottled water available at the bars.
Beach was good. The grounds require lots of work.The whole place just looks dirty.

When we arrived at the Allegro it was late in the evening and we tired. Upon cheking in we were told the Allegro was over sold and we had rooms booked at another hotel. I have travelled enough to understand this happens and it was frustrating but not more than that...until it became quite obvious the front desk staff did not care. We were left waiting for over 2 hours for a cab which, we had been reasured, had been called more than once. I watched 2 other sets of guests experience the same issue and were also treated with a lack of respect that is disturbing. They too waited for ground transportation for an extremely long time. The front desk staff visited amoung themselves, were on the phones on personal calls and simply didn't care. We would not ever consider this property nor would we recomend it.
When we finally did arrive at Playa Caleta their front desk staff were excited and happy to see us. They treated us as welcome guests. I would HIGHLY recomend this property.

This is a 2.5 star resort at best. It may have been 4 star in its day 20 years ago but not even close now. I won't write a long list but anything you can think of other than the beach is a 2 star. They cater to Italian's and that's it. Do not vacation here.

The food was better than expected. The staff were both professional and friendly. A couple of glitches at the beginning but if you treat people the way you would like to be treated you get amazing results ( a little courtesy goes a long way) We will be going back for sure, loved it.

We arrived early and couldn't get into our room right away. We brought Summer clothes in our carry-ons and changed and our lugage went into a secure area.
Our room was spotless, but didn't have a second bed as we had requested (two ladies) It took only ten minutes to get another one put into our large room. Virginia who cleaned our room daily did a great job and was such a nice person and her English was amazing as my Spanish is very poor.
Restaurants and Bars:
My friend is in hospitality and we both found that the staff in the bars and restaurants were both smartly dressed and knew what the were doing.
The gounds and all areas were kept very clean.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
We enjpoyed everthing
Other Comments:
Most Caribbean countries two women alone would'nt want to leave their resort. We were able to travel by bus into town and spend a wonderful day browsing, eating and having a great time without being hasseled or feeling unsafe. It was wonderful. We both love Cuba

This hotel was supposed to be a 4 star hotel. The bathrooms were nasty. The food was such a disappointment. There was very little variety. The service was not good. I only found 1 waitress to be helpful and the lady who cleaned our room was very nice. Other than that I complained about how the bathroom was dirty and the bad food. My whole family was disappointed.

The resort is old, but has lots of character. The rooms were not very clean, but we only there to shower and sleep anyway. There was a hiccup with the hot water for 24hrs, but we survived.Only 1 bellboy when we arrived made the trip to our room a lengthy wait, but it was late and we were tired.The staff was very polite,helpful and all round great! We didn't have any bugs, or fleas or any of that! The food was very good, lots of variety, meats served were beef, pork, chicken all very tasty. The fresh rolls at every meals were amazing.The bar tender at the beach bar (Mario) was fantastic!! What a good experience we had with the servers. We had lots of great weather, swimming, snorkeling, and sunning ourselves. A good vacation to relax, just what we needed. We will visit again.

This hotel was rated a 4 star but showed more like a 2. It took us an hour and a half to get to our room as the front desk staff were rude and ignored us. The main lobby was nice but the rest of the grounds were dirty and old. all the trees and bush lining the beach were dead. The beach itself was beautiful but that was it. The front desk originally tried to put us in a room away from the main building but once we got to it we quickly refused as it smelled, the walls were stained and there were bugs all over the floor. Once we requested a room in the main building, we finally settled in a half decent room. I have traveled down south alot and this was by far the worst resort I was on.

Although hotel listed as 4 star in my opinion it should be reduced to 2 star only. Very bad management. Not maintained over all. Inside and outside of the hotel is too dirty. Understood hotel owned by a Spanish group called Occidental which I believe they need to learn a lot for hotel management. Ministry of tourism affairs of the cuba should take care what is cooking at this hotel !!!
You should secure some half an hour time for check-in formalities due to un educated front dest staff. Definately they have no idea what they are doing ! In addition staff totally unpolite or better to say too rude.
Very dirty, not maintained. Several phone calls to house-keeping department to optain some shower towels but remained with empty hands. Understood hotel has no shower towels. Inorder to make an domestic phone call you should leave your room to switchboard operator room (later on understood this system is just to collect us$ 1.00).
Restaurants and Bars:
Open buffet system. At first looking seems many dishes available but at end you understood only few you can eat. Most of the foods are tasteless. Breakfast can be rated avarage but definately better than luch and/or dinner. Both pool bar and loby floor bar working unexpectly well as bar tenders and staff are working over their capacities.
A natural and very nice beach without facility ? Most of the chairs / chez-longs are broken. Just to have a beach towel you are visiting health club at pool side but reply is funny ! First you should go to reception desk (some 15 minutes walking and climbing 3 floors up) and to put us$ 15.00 deposit and you should come back here with receipt :))))

Blue Mountain RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Stayed here the month of May so had a monthly rate ($500). Daily was $35.00. So much to see in the area I wished I had stayed longer. Staff was very informative in telling of things to see in the area. Everyone was friendly. My site was level with no trees but that was fine for the time of year. Some sites had trees. Everything was kept clean. Awesome views of the mountains. The owners have the Trading Post in front with a large collection of authentic Indian jewelry, rugs, art etc. I would not hesitate to recommend it.
Overgaard, Arizona
White Mountain Resort
[ 9/10 ]
Have stayed here several times. Great location between Heber and Showlow on Hwy 260 (mile post 317). Managers friendly and know the area. Large sites. Lots of birds and have seen Elk and Coyotes near the park. Hiking right out of the park. Sites and facitlities keep estra clean. Very Quite. I will stay here again.
Silver City, New Mexico
Rose Valley RV Ranch
[ 10/10 ]
Stayed here in a travel trailer. Easy to get too as there are signs on the hwy and at the turn on Memory Lane. Less than half a mile to Wal-Mart. Great sites with privacy walls/fences. Sites are very large, level and have a comfortable feel. Ranch theme with old equipment in open areas invites lots of birds and rabbits. It is so quite you think you are on your own ranch. The restroom and laundry facilities are among the cleanest and upscale as I have seen. Plus the manager and staff are very friendly and know the area. I would stay here again.

Today's music video is a live performance by Bruce Springsteen of Waiting On A Sunny Day from a concert in Barcelona, Spain. A spectacular performance of the song, and you have to love how the crowd gets into it.
Accuracy. An acquired skill or talent that you're born with? Or a skill that you can work on to improve? Either way, the Florida Panthers have long suffered from not having enough of it. The crest on a goaltenders sweater doesn't indicate a target.

Sometimes a low brainpower movie is the perfect escapist entertainment. But even then, ping-pong farce Balls of Fury still doesn't deliver.

Men are raised to be naturally independent, to not depend on someone else and to not show "need." As a result, we think that if we do ask for help we show weakness, and that's one of the underlying reasons that men can find it more difficult to give their lives over to Christ.

When you have water in your ear, it's best to pour more water (warm) in to chase the water out. Gotta fill your ear with warm water then tilt your head and let all the water pour out. Gently swab with a cotton swab to dry your outer ear.
PS: In extreme cases you may have to do this up to 3 times. Tilt head, pour water in to fill ear, wait a few secs, then tilt head to pour water out. You'll feel a warm gush of water pour out.

I love pho long time.
I soak a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide. Hold the saturated cotton ball near the affected ear and squeeze it so that the hyrdogen peroxide will run into your ear canal. Give it about 20 seconds the tilt your head such that any excess fluid runs out. Gently remove what remains with a Q-tip.
Also think Big_es suggestion would work.

What you most likely have in your ear is a build up of earwax. Its common. If it was just water then it would just run out. Water does that. What has most likely happened is that some water has been trapped by some earwax and won't run out again.
Make an appointment with a doctor to have your ears syringed out. What they do is squirt warm water into your ear with a syringe (no sharp) until they dislodge the wax. Now it is a VERY good idea to soften the wax the best you can first to make the job easier. If the wax is too hard they may give up before removing it all because there is a minor risk to your eardrum if they syringe too hard.
Now I will warn you that after you put some oil (you can get proprietary earwax removing oil or just use virgin vegetable oil) in your ear you will go completely deaf in that ear if you aren't already deaf so only do one ear at a time even though you will likely have wax in both ears.
Earwax build up is just one of those things that happens to some people and its not all that unusual. I have read that one likely cause of earwax build up is a lack of omega 3 fats in your diet.
Had one of my ears get plugged on me - and of course I "worried" at it with all sorts of swabs, etc - went to the store and got the ear cleaning solution (oily stuff) - nothing. How freaking irritating not to hear correctly out of one side! And of course by now my ear ached, and was bleeding a bit from me poking at it.
Went to doctor. He shot a bottle of warm water into it via a nice long nozzle ---- and held out this bed pan thingee under my ear. It hurt a little from the pressure of the water ... BUT what came out was ... nearly embarrassing - I mean I'm clean - clean my ears out, etc etc etc - but sheesh - where the hell THAT come from!
And, could I hear!?!?!?! I could hear my hair brushing my ear - nearly had him do the other ear!!!
And later I find out a couple friends do it on a yearly basis, not because they have to - just maintenance.
Go to the docs and report back in on what came out.
"Cyclists have a right to the road too, you noisy polluting inconsiderate maniacs! I hope gas goes up to eight bucks a gallon!" - the dad from Calvin & Hobbes, 1993
Tilt your head to one side, squirt a bit of peroxide in (gently), hold it there until it stops fizzing. Repeat in the other ear.
That blue bulb thing was known as the Snurfer in my house. Warm water in that is a good first step. Sometimes my mom used q-tips and a few times... a bobby pin I did have one buildup that required a trip to the doctor, same thing as Tude. A medical-grade Snurfer and a kidney shaped pan.
I'll start with the dynamite and then go from there. Thanks, Foo!
Decided to go for the oil to soften the wax and the warm water to get it out. Used extra virgin olive oil in lieu of baby oil. After that, poured in warm water from a small teapot and emptied my ear a few times.
It felt AWESOME when it unplugged. Wow.
Thanks, Foo.... seriously.
If I feel I have water in my ear, I do this while showering and indeed, sometimes it takes two or three times. I will often leave my head tilted to hold in the water and sort of massage the water filled ear before tilting my head back the other way to allow drainage to occur. I think it sort of siphons the trapped water out.

Bernstein is completely at ease talking to his audience. He can take the most abstruse subject - the meaning and function of intervals, tonality and atonality, the links between Gustav Mahler's troubled life and his music - and present them to a young audience with clarity, without condescension, and with a clear sense of the material's value. His subject-matter is enormously varied. For Igor Stravinsky's 80th birthday, he simply tells his audience the story of Petrouchka while conducting a dazzling performance of the colorful ballet. For a program on "Folk Music in the Concert Hall," he plays some of Canteloube's folk song arrangements and the boisterous finale of Ives's Symphony No. 2, full of borrowed pop and folk melodies. The influence of folk music is shown in folk song imitations by Mozart and Carlos Chavez.
The sound and images, taped over a 15-year span when the art of recording was rapidly advancing, are varied in quality; the series begins in black-and-white and ends in vivid color. Not all of the programs are equally compelling, but all are worth close and repeated attention. --Joe McLellan

All That History
The end of the world is a terrible place for a first date, but that's the point. The Doctor wants this thing with Rose to be real, so he shows her exactly where he comes from. He shows her what it means to watch your world burn. Then he takes her back home to the people and the concrete, pressing her on every side with all of the noise and life that she just lost. That's the Doctor's loss, and he waits to tell Rose until he feels she can really understand. Surviving means caring about things that literally no one else cares about. It means being on a ship that treats the loss of your world as high-class entertainment. It's not just about being the only one to know the planet: it's about being the only one to care.
#Rose #9th Doctor #Doctor Who #Billie Piper #Christopher Eccleston The end of the world is a terrible place for a first...

Chapter 6:
The first thought that go through my head in the morning was how warm and comfy I was. That is until something kept tickling my nose.
Annoyed, I scrunch my nose up, and burry myself deeper into the warmth of my pillow. The thing was, pillows don't chuckle like mine just did when I snuggled against it.
Confused, I finally crack my eyes open and I look up. When I look up, Ryder's chiseled face greets my sight.
He looked absolutely hot. His hair was not made, and yet it looked amazing. His chin was graced with a 5 o'clock shadow, and his slightly chapped lips were pulled up into an amused smile, showing of his deep dimples.
Finally, my gaze meets his and I feel as if I'm caught in a trance. His crystal blue eyes pierce through mine, as if he was looking down into my soul. The thing was, I made sure my eyes show no emotion. I perfected that a while ago. The only one who was ever able to see through my disguise was Emma, but she's gone now.
A wave of worry rushes through my body as he becomes concentrated, his eyes studying my face.
"What are you keeping hidden under that mask Lila?" I faintly hear Ryder murmur, under his breath. I don't think I was meant to hear it, but I did, and I didn't like it,
I immediately push away from him. He can't figure me out, nobody can. I'm a mystery to everyone, even myself.
In my frantic effort to get away from Ryder, I end up rolling of the bed, and crashing to the ground with a loud BANG.
"Lila!" Ryder exclaims, jumping down beside me to check if I was okay. I just hold a hand up, signaling to him not to come closer.
Ryder's expression turns to a confused one as he stops in his effort of helping me up.
"I-I should probably get going." I croak out, glancing at the time on his bedside table. It was already noon, so we had missed school yet again.
"Why? Its okay Lila you can stay. Amy and I want you here, we have had a great time." Ryder says, trying to approach me once again.
I shake my head frantically while shoving myself up so I can stand. A wave of dizziness flows through me from getting up to quickly. It also didn't help from the lack of food I was eating.
I grip onto the wall behind me, using all my strength to keep myself upright, while closing my eyes, trying to rid the dizziness from my head.
"Lila? Are you alright? You look really pale." Ryder says, causing my eyes to shoot open. Ryder was looking at me with a worried expression. His body looked tense, like he was waiting to see if I'd fall, which I bet it looked like I was about to.
"Yes." I reply shortly after. Ryder still had an unsure look on his face, but he just nodded his head in reply and began backing away.
Grateful, I decide it was my chance to leave. I quickly make my way to the bedroom door on shaky legs. Snatching my still dirty jeans from a chair next to the door I slip it on and make my way out, not caring about how bad my hair must have looked.
I could hear the heavy footsteps of Ryder behind me. Hearing that, only served as encouragement to walk faster away.
When I had made it down the stairs, Amy walks in, confusion flooding her face as she looks at me and Ryder.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Amy asks, looking between Ryder and me.
I open my mouth to reply, but I'm cut off by Ryder saying, "She's leaving."
"Why?" Amy asks, turning toward me.
"I-I don't want to intrude. Plus I have to go home, my parents are probably worried." I say.
Nice lie Lila. As if mom and dad would even be home.
"You're not intruding! I want you here, and you can just call your parents and let them know you have been staying here." Amy exclaims, walking toward me.
Once again, I shake my head frantically. I back up all the way to the door till I see my muddy shoes next to it.
Grabbing them, I slip them on and run inside. At that moment, I realized I had no idea where I was. It was the middle of nowhere. We were surrounded by the forest.
I jumped as a big hand rested on my shoulder.
"Come on Lila, I'll take you home." Ryder says with a sigh.
Not having any choice, I turn around and follow Ryder to his car.
We both hop in and after I mutter my address, he begins to drive. When we reach familiar surroundings, I'm able to point him in the right direction.
After a few more minutes of silence we reach my house. When he pulls to a stop, I expect him to just let me out of the car, but he turns off his car and hops out. Confused I just sit in the car, watching him.

Without comment.
(Source: news.nextglass.co, via clovesandcoffeeandash)
Ten states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin — have passed preemption laws that ban all cities and counties from enacting paid sick days bills, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute.
As can be seen from the chart, momentum has picked up recently, with seven of those laws passed this year alone. They have also been introduced in at least 14 state legislatures, and Pennsylvania is currently considering one that was introduced in October.
Big business has been helping to fuel this tide of legislation. As the report notes, "In each of the ten states, the bills' sponsors included members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). And in each case, the bills were adopted following vigorous advocacy by corporate lobbies such as the Chamber of Commerce, National Federation of Independent Business, and Restaurant Association."
Yet even though these business opponents claim that paid sick days would create unbearable costs, the evidence from those places that do have paid sick leave shows that they can be beneficial. Business growth and job growth have been strong under Seattle's law. Job growth has also been strong in San Francisco and its law enjoys strong business support. The policies in Washington, DC and Connecticut have come at little cost for businesses. In fact, expanding DC's current law would net employers $2 million in savings even with potential costs factored in. On the other hand, the average employer loses $225 per worker each year thanks to lost productivity when they get sick and can't take paid leave.
What is odd to me in this case, is there is strong evidence in support of providing paid sick leave and still big business is opposed to any laws concerning mandating paid sick leave.
It's almost as if they can't stand to see any expansion of worker's rights at all, even if it would ultimately be beneficial to the company itself.

April 6, 2010
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - After a three-month season and nearly three years of waiting for the moment, the No. 54 USC Upstate men's tennis team showed a lot of its impatience on Tuesday afternoon. As soon as head coach Alessandro De Marzo walked back onto the courts where the team wrapped up the first Atlantic Sun Conference men's title in any sport, he was doused by the remaining water in one of the coolers on the court.
Minutes later, as the men's team waited for the women's match to finish, senior Jack Roux couldn't wait for De Marzo to put his cell phone down before he struck again with the water from another cooler. Of course, after a 6-1 win that helped the Spartans wrap up the first outright league title in school history, you can forgive the Spartans' impatience.
"There's no words to describe how happy I am right now," senior Javier Tori said. "Being a senior and going out by winning this thing is amazing. They have a good team. We beat them because we were inspired to win this thing. It was our chance and the only chance we had to win a title. Everyone went out to play and that's what we did."
For Coach De Marzo, who won his second regular-season title in six years with the men's tennis program, his smile appeared when asked how it felt to be conference champions. "It feels really good," he laughed. "It started last fall when we only had four players. Jack, Javier, Renzo (Airaldi) and Edgar (Rodriguez) had a bad fall and they came back in the spring, with the new additions, and they just got along so well. That really helps them."
As usual, it was Upstate's senior trio that helped pace the Spartans (18-5 overall, 10-0 overall) to the win, with seniors Renzo Airaldi and Javier Tori posting a 9-8 (8) win over regionally-ranked Davy Sum and Dominik Kaniewski at No. 1 to clinch the doubles point and Tori, the program's winningest player, that clinched the match with a two-set win at No. 3 singles.
The Spartans started strong by winning all three doubles matches, with sophomores Edgar Rodriguez and Ramiro Blanco posting an 8-3 win over Beto Mondini and Loukas Wallaart at No. 3 before Airaldi and Tori's win clinched the point. Almost simultaneously, Roux and junior Marco Linconir added an 8-6 win over Josep Baro and Larbi Lamzouri at No. 2.
In singles play, Upstate continued to control, with Blanco posting a 6-0, 6-3 win over Wallaart at No. 5 and Roux wrapped up his career with a 6-2, 6-3 win over David Clavera at No. 4. After a loss at No. 2, Tori wrapped up the match with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Mondini.
"Amazing," Roux said. "We finally did it. I'm so happy. The team was so focused because we knew we had to win to win the conference, but for me, it was hard because it was my last match. I had a lot of feelings, and it was hard to concentrate and to play, but at least I won my doubles and singles."
With the match clinched, Linconir posted a 6-4, 6-2 win over Kaniewski at No. 6 and Rodriguez closed out Upstate's campaign with a 7-6 (2), 6-4 win over regionally-ranked Davy Sum, making him 8-1 on the season in A-Sun matches, all played at No. 1.
The match was the final one in the careers of Airaldi, Roux and Tori, the winningest class in school history, having helped the Spartans post a 78-19 (.804) record during their careers, along with reaching the NCAA Division II quarterfinals as freshmen and winning the A-Sun title as seniors.
"It's not only going to be tennis that I will miss with them," De Marzo said. "It's the type of people they are, what they bring to the team. It's not only on the tennis court and it is going to be very hard to replace them."
Airaldi finished his career with 55 singles wins (fifth in school history) and 84 doubles wins (second) to make up his 139 career combined wins (third). He was a Division II All-American as a freshman and has racked up Second Team All-A-Sun honors in each of the last two years.
Roux finished his career with 77 singles wins (second in school history) and 67 doubles wins (fifth) to make up his 144 career combined wins (second). He earned All-A-Sun Second Team honors as a junior when he won a school-record 46 combined wins.
"It was so fun," Roux said of his time at Upstate. "I feel so sad that this era is over. This team is amazing. I have a lot of good memories of this team. We are like a family. Alessandro, (and assistant coaches) Tami (Matheny) and Julio (Peralta) are amazing."
Tori finished his career with school records 81 singles wins, 86 doubles wins and 167 combined wins. He is the lone player in school history to win 20 singles matches in all three years and 20 doubles matches in all four years. He also set an A-Sun records for most player of the week awards with three this season and five in his career.

The University of La Verne offers $9 tickets for LA Opera's 'Don Giovanni,' but only for a few more days.
Students, faculty and staff at the University of La Verne have one last weekend to enjoy "Don Giovanni" performed by the Los Angeles Opera for less than the cost of a movie ticket. "Don Giovanni" ends Sunday.
The Community Circle program started by the LA Opera had made it possible to purchase tickets for select performances for only $9.
"It's good for all of us," said Dr. Kathleen Lamkin, Professor of Music at La Verne. "I've been looking for more ways to get our students to LA Opera because they do amazing productions."
The internationally recognized L.A. Opera first reached out to La Verne in 2009 for the Ring Festival.
La Verne was one of 115 institutions in the Los Angeles area that participated in the celebration of the first production of the entire Ring Cycle of Richard Wagner in L.A., which according to Lamkin, was a "major historic musical event."
A series of events offered at various locations prepared audiences for the LA Opera performances of Richard Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung" in May and June 2010 at the Music Center in L.A.
"Many of Los Angeles's most prominent universities, museums, theaters, performing arts ensembles and a variety of other institutions were involved," Lamkin said.
During the 2011-2012 academic year, as an extension of the Opera's 25th anniversary celebration, the LA Opera Domingo-Thornton Young Artists presented an abridged version of Mozart's "Cosi fan Tutte" in the Ann & Steve Morgan Auditorium.
University Advancement was host of a dinner prior to the performance, where Director of Education and Community Programs, Stacy Brightman, and Assistant Director Garrett Collins, of LA Opera, were presented.
This year in addition to the LA Opera Community program, students from local community elementary schools will be invited to the La Verne Music Department's adaption of Mozart's "The Magic Flute," titled "The Magic Dream," on February 1.
Professors who want to give their students an opportunity to learn how an opera is run can book an Operawise opportunity through the LA Opera Web site: http://www.laopera.com/education/Secondary1/Operawise/
Students are given the chance to view a rehearsal and may also get to meet LA Opera staff members all for free.
La Verne's relationship with the LA Opera continues to develop and this latest connection with Community Circle will allow those in the La Verne community to experience the opera at an affordable price.
"We are delighted about this Community Circle," Lamkin said.
Brightman said that the $9 tickets are currently offered for the LA Opera production of Don Giovanni, but that they hope to offer the same opportunity again.
"The response from La Verne has been tremendous," Brightman said.
