Second Sea Turtle Rescued by Crew from Oregon Coast
Published 01/07/2015
(Seaside, Oregon) – Yet another sea turtle was found and rescued by the Seaside Aquarium – once again on the southern Washington coast. (Photos courtesy Tiffany Boothe, Seaside Aquarium).
The crew from the famed north Oregon coast attraction was called to the Long Beach Peninsula on Monday, finding the second female Olive Ridley sea turtle in three weeks.
The aquarium's Tiffany Boothe said staff managed to get it stabilized fairly quickly after it had been found in the surf.
Once the turtle arrived at Seaside Aquarium, staff used blankets to keep her warm. These waters are too cold for this type of turtle, which generally live off the California coast.
"Though the turtle is currently alive, it is hard to tell if the turtle had received any life threatening injuries while coming through the heavy surf," Boothe said.
The turtle has already been retrieved by Oregon and Department of Fish and Wildlife, which is transporting it to Seattle Aquarium. There, they will continue the rehabilitation process, and if all goes well they will be able to transfer her down to California where she will be released.
The last turtle, also a female Olive Ridley, came in on the evening of December 21. After being stabilized at the Seaside Aquarium she was transferred to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and is currently doing well there. She has been named Solstice by Oregon Coast Aquarium staff.
Boothe said current weather conditions are the cause of these turtle strandings.
"Strong south, southwesterly winds drive warm currents further north; sea turtles often follow these warm water currents and when they dissipate the sea turtle finds itself in water that is too cold for them," Boothe said. "They get hypothermic and end up on the beach. The quicker these turtles are found and taken off the beach the better their chances are. In the next few weeks, people walking the beaches of the Oregon and Washington coast should keep a look out for these guys."
Officials urge anyone who finds a sea turtle on the beach to keep their distance and contact the Oregon State Police Wildlife Hotline at (800) 452-7888 to ensure appropriate transport and care of the animal.

It was a great trip — we enjoyed watching the animals, everyone was on their best behavior and no one got lost! One of the highlights of the trip for us was seeing so many Dads; there were actually more Dads on this trip than Moms. The Brothers were definitely handling their business… Here are a few pics from the trip. Sometime this week, all of the images will be posted on the main website under "Photos on Line" (National Zoo Field Trip).

Broadview Holding now also intends to acquire Formica
The Dutch Broadview Holding, which has controlled Trespa and Arpa Industriale for some time and acquired a majority stake in Westag & Getalit in August 2018 for around € 170m, intends to acquire Formica Group. In mid-December, the company signed a corresponding agreement with Formica's previous owner Fletcher Building, which had initiated a sales process for the laminate manufacturer in April 2018. The purchase price was set at US$840m without cash and on a debt-free basis. The transaction is expected to close by the end of Fletcher Building's 2018/2019 fiscal year, which runs until the end of June, following receipt of the necessary antitrust approvals.
In fiscal 2017/2018, Formica generated sales of US$713m or the equivalent of €630m with production sites in North America, Europe and Asia and approximately 3,400 employees. Broadview Holding, which is active in various areas and will focus even more strongly on laminates and elements with the planned acquisition of Formica, recently generated sales of around €700 million with around 2,900 employees.

When I woke up this morning, this picture was everywhere.
The song is another step onward from her R&B hook-heavy silky-smooth hit-a-minute days, and the video a staple in the new era of visual statements and moving-picture-vision boards to deliver stream-of-conscious access points galore for the patron. Beyonce has spent a good amount of time and money in shaping a vortex of uber-cool around her. Releasing the I'm-grown-up now self-titled album all in one kamehame-ha motion. Now, much to relief of the more intellectual listener who once took pleasure in her release from discourse in favour a good dance-out, she gives us Formation. A track political and prideful of African-American heritage and the countless cultural neurological pathways it has borne in the collective conscious of the planet. Now onto my umpteenth listen, and seeing the ripples deepen on social media to now include the reaction videos (why?), acquisition and development or merchandising, and intimation of the styles into civilian expression, it becomes important we approach this article abiding by the following:
Formation is a moment to allow to swell in the one direction it needs to: for the safety and equality of black people and people with black heritage in America today who need to feel the solidarity of the world as they take on modern-day colonialism that a black President couldn't even coerce the people to demolish. What it has done is brought scrutiny and compassion which must now be leveraged to see reforms and discipline delivered. Queen Bey isn't the only leader of the pack, and it is not her responsibility to do the work. It is her privilege to inspire and activate the masses. So get onto that.
All that being said, music has the unavoidable gift of endearing worldwide interaction, and it remains one of the most powerful forces for communication across the world that is still chiefly used to encourage minors to have sex and promote the interests of singers whose financial and fame statuses deliver false goals to the public. Meanwhile in Australia, there is opportunity in Formation to be reminded of components of our patchwork culture that need remedying.
What is the formation, ladies? Is it in the streets outside parliament? Is it postering businesses with no maternity leave policy? Is it breastfeeding your children en masse in a public park? Australian women are in coordinate step with the rest of the world when it comes to inequalities; feminist philosophies and concepts do their own job, but many have lost sight of the synonymic relationship between feminism and women's rights. The latter should be your way of taking action. Write a blog, make an art, start a conversation out of nowhere, bring it up on dates and in strategic meetings.
Beyond women's rights, we too have systemic and endemic problems in how our native and black culture is liberated in this country. That is to say that beyond Deborah Mailman, Jessica Mauboy, Yothu Yindi and other celebrity faces, our intrinsic relationship with the acknowledged 'custodians' of this land is arguably null, apathetic, and tokenistic. Conversations I have about Indigenous inclusions in positions of influence involve the placement of individuals within white systems and conformation to the parameters set by whites in those environments. Is that why we're afraid to become a Republic? Because we'd lose the excuse of being run by Brits to let Indigenous people actually contribute to lawmaking? Black people in our country die in custody too, they are minoritised and for all their marvellous offering to art and academics, the current selection criteria still cordon them off and siphon their inspiration. Australia's Minister for Indigenous Affairs was born in England.
One of the things I love most about the song is how the titular lyric could be read as "now let's get information". Education around here still leaves lightyears to be improved upon. Being that our proximity to much of the political, economic, cultural powers of the world is reduced, Australia has long been left behind and influences outdated before they start embossing outputs. But times are changing, and the role of Australia and Australians in contemporary everything is increasing year-by-year. Education must be brought up to code for this influence to flourish, for Australians to access the intellectual hives and resume a position of leadership like it had when it offered its women the vote years in advance of feet-dragging London empire. It was once the case that Australia was like the start-up company innovating around the cumbersome corporates like England, China and America. Now we're a joke, caught up in politics more in touch with the investors than the actual voting public, and public opinion driven too easily by media and social media motivated by sales over a responsibility to inform.
So start reading smarter, start trying harder, start connecting deeper. If a nation is only as good as its people, then Australians as people had best reinvest in what our nation should be party to. If a nation is only as good as its leaders, then come election time Australians had best vote for the well-equipped, not the well-recognised. What formation you know you perform at your best to make the change, now is the time to get into it.

AceShowbiz - A few weeks after being released, %cIggy Azalea%'s "Fancy" music video still gets people talking. The visuals, which features the Australian raptress and her collaborator %cCharlie XCX% recreating classic movie "Clueless", is still one of the hottest clips on YouTube with more than 16 million views.
"I'm a huge fan of the movie," Iggy, born Amethyst Kelly, recently talked about the concept of her video in an interview with Radio.com. "I always ask why hasn't anybody remade it and wouldn't it be cool if we could remake it. I'd see a lot of photo shoots and stuff like that trying to remake it, but I didn't feel very impressed by them."
The 23-year-old starlet added that her "Fancy" was "such a West Coast sounding song" that would fit the film. "It's a movie about Valley Girls and that's something very West Coast but not very rap," she said. "I thought it would be a cool tongue-in-cheek way to be very L.A. but unexpected. I didn't want to do low-rider cars and bright, shiny bicycles or palm trees. I didn't want to do something that was cliche because that's not me."
"Fancy" was released earlier this year as the third single off her debut album "The New Classic". The track, which received generally positive reviews, becomes her first song to enter Billboard 100. It peaked at No. 37 the chart. In the U.K., it debuted at No. 5 and became her highest-charting single to date.
After numerous delays, "The New Classic" will finally arrive in the U.S. on April 22. In addition to Charli XCX, the record features guest appearances from %cRita Ora% and %cMavado%. The former worked with Iggy for %cKaty Perry%-co-penned "Black Widow" while the latter appears in a track called "Lady Patra".

And So It Begins
It's here. It's finally here.
It's like Christmas but it's warmer." – Pete Rose
Today is one of the greatest day of the year. Today is Opening Day. Baseball is back. Well, MLB decided to go wacky on us this year and break Opening Day up into two days, with every team playing either yesterday or today, which is pretty ridiculous.
But for Twins fans the wait is finally over. Today we get to, once again, cheer on our Twins as they once again make a run at defending the Central Division title. This year does not come without it's own question marks.
1. Will the losses of Matt Guerrier, Jesse Crain, Jon Rauch, and Brian Fuentes from the bullpen be to much to bear?
1a. Will the new bullpen be effective?
2. Will Justin Morneau stay concussion free? Read more…
Happy Joe Mauer Day
Unlimited joy. Unlimited relief.
Those were the 2 raw emotions felt by Twins fans everywhere one year ago today. We could not be happier that Joe Mauer finally, FINALLY resigned with the Twins. We finally were assured that Joe Mauer, one of the greatest players to put on the Twins uniform and potentially the greatest catcher to ever play baseball, would not be leaving Minnesota any time soon.
Not as many people are as happy about his deal anymore. They think it was to much. If all things were equal, it was an overpayment, but it was a price that needed to be paid. The Yankees and Red Sox, two of the teams with the highest payrolls, are still in a bad place catching wise. They would have loved to get a piece of Mauer this offseason.
The Twins kept Mauer. It needed to be done. Let's rekindle some of the joy we had last year.
Happy Joe Mauer Day.
Jim Thome will be the Twins Homey Again in 2011
After months of waiting and recent rumors that he may be signing with the Texas Rangers, Jim Thome has re-signed with the Twins.
The Twins announced today that they are bringing Jim Thome back on a one year $3 milllion deal. Thome will also earn incentives based on playing time.
I see this as a terrific move for the Twins. It appeared earlier in the offseason that Thome was becoming more money hungry and wanted to "make up for what he didn't earn last season." However, the Twins again got him for a price below what he's worth, and likely less than the Rangers would have paid.
Thome is great security in the case that Justin Morneau is not 100%. Bill Smith says the team is "optimistic he will be ready for Spring Training." As I'd like to hear it be certain that Morneau will for certain be ready to go, that statement scares me. As good as Morneau is, Jim Thome lessens the blow to the lineup with Morneau out.
The only negative side to this signing is the fact that the Twins would be much better off with a right handed hitter that could potentially play some first base or outfield, but the fact is that they got Thome on a terrific bargain. The "ideal" player just isn't available, and especially not at Thome's price. Some have argued that Vladimir Guerrero would have been the ideal guy, but he would cost upwards of $6 million and I think Target Field would play against his strengths, making him much less valuable.
This deal likely ends the possibility of "Manny being Manny in Minnesota".
Congratulations Bert!
Congratulations to Bert Blyleven on a much deserved and long overdue Hall of Fame induction! With 79.7% (463 of 581) of the vote Blyleven cleared the needed 75% of votes needed. Along with Blyleven comes Second Baseman Roberto Alomar.
As frustrating as it is, once again there were 5 ballots left blank. I do not know how you can be given the honor of voting for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and not vote. It is disgusting.
A New Years Resolution and A Starting Pitcher
As the title suggests, this is a 2 part post. The 1st part is a New Years Resolution that is very important to me and I hope to any faithful reader of Hitting The Eephus. I realize that I've become basically irrelevant in the Twins blogosphere. My New Years Revolution is to write a minimum of one blog post every week. I think that is an attainable goal and it will bring Hitting The Eephus back to where it should be. As my good friend John T. Meyer recently wrote that we need to write down our goals for the public to see so we are held more accountable. I think this especially entails to improving this blog.
The second part of this post is much more typical of what will be normal for this blog. As many reports have suggested, the Twins are indeed a favorite to re-sign Carl Pavano. It just seems like it makes sense for Pavano to want to return to Minnesota. The only other team that has any rumors suggesting that they want him is the Washington Nationals. If I were Pavano I'd want to steer clear of Washington. I don't have anything against the franchise personally, it actually does look like a promising young franchise with the likes of Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harper, and many more players either just reaching the big leagues or still to come in the coming years. And of course their free agent signing of Jason Werth must not be forgotten. I just don't think they have a real shot of being good for a few years, and Pavano will be gone by the time that happens. This is why it makes sense for Pavano to want to return to the Twins who are contenders.
It only makes sense for the Twins to bring back Pavano on the right deal. There is no way he should be given the three year deal he seeks. I would be most comfortable with a one year deal, but I don't see how he signs a deal for any less than 2 years. I still think that he does indeed re-sign with the Twins, but there do need to be alternate plans in the case that signs with the Nationals or any other team that could very well suddenly decide they are in need of Pavano's services.
One player that I see as a relatively low risk-high reward replacement to Pavano is Justin Duchscherer. Duchscherer is an injury prone pitcher. There is no getting around that. That being said he can still bring good value. Since he has been hurt his price tag won't be very high. Last year he was given a $1.75 million contract. He only pitched 5 games before having season-ending left hip surgery. After that I can't see his price tag going up. The one thing he wants is to be signed as a starter and not to be put into the bullpen. I think that if the Twins can see him as Pavano's replacement they can offer him that.
World Series Predictions
Usually World Series predictions predict the winner of the World Series and that's it. Well, I'm prepared to go farther. And I don't just mean predicting who will win and how many games it will take. I mean predicting the outcome of every game.
Game 1: Rangers over Giants
Game 2: Giants over Rangers
Game 3: Giants over Rangers
Game 4: Rangers over Giants
Game 5: Rangers over Giants
Game 6: Giants over Rangers
Game 7: Rangers over Giants
That's right. The Rangers will win the series with Cliff Lee winning games 1, 4, and 7.
Roy Halladay Throws No-Hitter in Game One
Sometimes things happen that are completely unreal. These are things that you can only dream of happening. Take for instance the dream that almost every young kid has; the dream that someday they could pitch in the big leagues, the dream that they could be the best pitcher in baseball, the dream that they could throw a no-hitter in the playoffs.
Well, sometimes these dreams do come true.
In dream-like fashion Roy Halladay started the Philadelphia Phillies playoff run with a bang last Wednesday. In fact, he made history by throwing only the second no-hitter in the history of the MLB playoffs. The first no-hitter in the history of the playoffs was a Perfect Game by Don Larsen in the fifth game of the 1956 World Series.
Even more impressive is the fact that this was his first appearance in the playoffs of his career. Since he was with the Toronto Blue Jays for the entirety of his career before being traded to the Phillies this past off-season he never had a chance to go to the playoffs.
In fact, ever since that trade Halladay has been living a dream. Let's face it. You're the best pitcher in baseball. You play on one of the worst teams in one of the toughest divisions in baseball. So what do you do? You ask to be traded to the best team in the other league, the weaker league, the Philadelphia Phillies. You get traded. You put together a Cy Young year including MLB's 20th perfect game in history. You do this on the way to winning the division with the best record in all of baseball. Then you go out and throw a no-hitter in the first game of the playoffs, something that's only been done once. And that makes it a no-hitter in the regular season and the playoffs, something that's never been done before. Ever.
Mr. Halladay, on behalf of baseball fans everywhere, I'd like to ask you to never wake up. Read more…

This is the Mysore Clock Vine, or Thunbergia mysorensis, an truly exotic, woody-stemmed, evergreen climbing flowering plant, native to India. The name 'mysorensis' derives from the city of Mysore in the south of India. It is also sometimes called the "brick & butter vine" or "dolls' shoes".
Given the right conditions it can reach 20 feet and has glossy green leaves. It flowers from winter through to summer, given the right conditions, wave after wave of eye-catching flowers are produced, hanging down from the vine in long clusters. Growers in the Americas have noticed that hummingbirds love them because the flower cups are filled with nectar!
It truly is a wonderful flowering vine especially if you can grow it over an arched tunnel where the flowers can hang down.
The plant is more delicate in appearance and climate needs than its blue flowered Thumbergia cousins. It needs a warm temperature throughout its growing seasons. This vine does not seed well and propagation is mostly by layering. This picture was taken from Kew gardens as mine has not flowered as yet. I am finding it rather difficult to keep as I keep neglecting it in the position where it is in with the orchids.


text: First Baby Bald Eagle Hatches From Egg on DC Livecam 2nd eaglet is expected soon By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Mar 18, 2016 2:58 PM CDT 3 comments First Baby Bald Eagle Hatches From Egg on DC Livecam Awww. (YouTube) (Newser) – A tiny bald eagle has fully emerged from its shell in a nest high above Washington, the AP reports. The first signs of hatching were spotted in the nest at the US National Arboretum earlier this week. The District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment announced in a statement Friday that the eaglet has fully emerged. The American Eagle Foundation and arboretum launched the live streaming DC Eagle Cam after the parents—nicknamed "Mr. President" and "The First Lady"—laid two eggs last month. The second egg is expected to hatch soon. The foundation says the eagles have been nesting at the US National Arboretum since October 2014 and raised one eaglet last summer. Per the Washington Post, the District of Columbia's wildlife biologist says it appears the first eaglet is strong and is "being fed already." Watch the livecam here. (Read more bald eagle stories.)

Release | Chiaki Uzurahashi
"Restaurant Izumiya, Head Office" - Spaghetti Tonkatsu
If you ever find yourself in Kushiro with an empty stomach, there's a dish you should be sure to check out: the "Spaghetti Katsu" (Supa Katsu) from Restaurant Izumiya. I headed to the head office of the restaurant located in Kushiro near the Nusamai River bridge.
Spaghetti and one slice of "Tonkatsu" (a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet) are served up on a hot griddle and topped with a delicious meat sauce. When served, the "Super Katsu" makes a delicious sizzling sound as the sauce and noodles cook on the griddle.
▲ "Spaghetti Katsu" - 900 Yen.
The hot, thick meat sauce really coats the noodles in this dish, meaning every bite is delicious and sure to fill your belly. The noodles on the bottom of the dish are nice a crispy, but they're especially hot so be sure not to burn your mouth!
▲ The meat sauce is home-made, and the pork is Hokkaido raised.
I was able to sit down and speak with Mr. Shunichi Koizumi, the company president. Restaurant Izumiya was opened by his parents in 1959. In the old days the menu was limited to just 20 items made with spaghetti, which sold out very quickly. Another popular menu item was the tonkatsu, so one day they decided to try combing it with their spaghetti dish.
"We started serving the Super Katsu around 1960. The store at that time was made of wood and pretty cold. The dish was originally served on a normal plate, but we switched to the iron griddle so that it stayed warm until the last bite. That was the start. What we now serve as 'Spaghetti Katsu' used to be called 'Spaghetti Meat Sauce on Katsu.'"
▲ Restaurant Izumiya Representative, Director Shunichi Koizumi. (78) He worked in the kitchen until just two years ago.
This iron griddle spaghetti and pork dish has been gaining popularity and has recently made it on to the shops signs. Today, about 60 to 70 percent of customers that come in order the Spaghetti Katsu. If you're ever in the Kushiro area be sure to stop by for a bite!

The softest couches in the world are not to be found in the log mansion of the slave. The one whereon I reclined year after year, was a plank twelve inches wide and ten feet long.

Сторінка 167 - The day's work over in the field, the baskets are "toted" or in other words carried to the ginhouse, where the cotton is weighed. No matter how fatigued and weary he may be — no matter how much he longs for sleep and rest — a slave never approaches the ginhouse with his basket of cotton but with fear. If it falls short in weight — if he has not performed the full task appointed him — he knows that he must suffer. And if he has exceeded it by ten or twenty pounds, in all probability his master...

To begin, let us examine two hypothetical studies investigating whether antidepressants increase suicidality. In study #1 we tested drug A and found that those taking the drug committed suicide at twice the rate as on the placebo. In study #2 we found that subjects taking drug B committed suicide at one half the rate of those on the placebo. Is this clear evidence that drug A is more dangerous than drug B? If you're the FDA, it is.
To illustrate the problem here lets say that each arm of each study had 100 patients. In study #1 two patients taking drug A committed suicide and only one taking the placbo did. In study #2 there were three patients taking drug B who committed suicide except that six patients in the placebo group committed suicide. The placebo group, who do not receive the drug are the ones determining the safety of these drugs (if you're scoring at home A is Paxil and B is Prozac).
In absolute terms drug A's arm of its study suffered fewer suicides than drug B's (2% vs 3%), making it safer. Except this is the opposite of the result we got when we examined the studies independently of one another. This is why it's so important to focus on what question your statistics are answering.
To complicate matters further actual suicides are incredibly rare in real antidepressant trials. This is partly because most trials only last 4 to 6 weeks, but mostly because anyone showing evidence of suicidal tendencies is excluded from the studies at the outset as a necessary condition of the trials. It's not really practical to give people who are actively ideating suicide a drug that is experimental, much less a placebo. It's even harder to get such a study past the medical ethics review board, so those folks are excluded from antidepressant studies.
Owing to this, clinicians use suicidality as their metric instead. Suicidality generally includes suicidal ideation or planning as well as self-harming behaviors. These events are more common than actual suicide and thus much easier to catalog and compare. In a large meta analysis conducted by the BMJ they found that 0.54% of patients in clinical trials expressed "suicidality." Helpfully, they even break down these incidences by indication group. If you do the math (they did not) 64% of the suicidality events were accounted for by those with major depressive disorder (MDD) and a further 28% had a condition categorized as "other psychiatric" (which explicitly excluded non-MDD depression). Completely unsurprisingly research has found that MDD and "other psychiatric" conditions have a very strong correlation with suicide (and, to use researcher's own proxy here, suicidality).
What this means is that 99.5% of patients (who are high risk) never even considered suicide. Where is this number supposed to go from 99.5%? The occurrence of suicide itself in the general population is 11.4 per 100,000 (0.01%) and we've already covered that suicide is incredibly rare compared to suicidality. Moving on.
What do we do when we can't randomly assign people in clinical studies? Observational studies! (Ignore the fact that you can't, technically speaking, draw causal links using observational data.) Into that breach ride analyses of antidepressant sales vs. suicide rates across time and location. What do they find? Here is an illustrative example from that paper (there are many more with similar findings):
The decline in the national suicide rate (1985-1999) appears to be associated with greater use of non-tricyclic antidepressants. Treatment of a greater proportion of mood disorders with SSRIs and other second-generation non-tricyclic antidepressants may further reduce the suicide rate.Indeed, aside from increasing suicides they (oddly enough for an antidepressant) seem to reduce it.
Oh but that's not a study of adolescents you say? Stop it.
From an initial database of 656 studies, we identified and examined six studies. In the latter, nine of 574 young people (1.6%) who died by suicide had had recent exposure to SSRIs.The question you ought to be asking right about now is, "What are reasonable expectations for these drugs?" We do not expect penicillin to cure every infection. We don't even expect surgical intervention to succeed 100% of the time. It is absolutely ridiculous to expect antidepressants to prevent suicides when they are predominantly given to those most likely to commit suicide.
As for why this treatment of suicide as a side effect is so pernicious, consult a psychiatrist.
In essence, these black box warnings reduce the complexity of suicidality into less of a behavior or activity and more of a reaction, a reflex. You might think that's not the intention, and I'm sure you'd be right, but that is the result. Note that no one is attributing any other complex behaviors to these meds as a side effect-- not increased marriage, or desire to learn French, etc.
Suicide thus becomes MORE of something that can happen to you and LESS of something you do because you feel a certain way. It's subtle, but it matters. It's a corruption of language to escape the-- well, nausea-- of massive freedom; it says behaviors occur, not get chosen.

Metformin and Lactic Acidosis
There are some potential adverse side effects of metformin; lactic acidosis can be one of them. Lactic acidosis is a life-threatening condition that is fatal in about 50 percent of cases and is caused by too much lactate in the blood and low blood pH. Some symptoms of lactic acidosis include shortness of breath, persistent nausea, and a slow or irregular heartbeat. Several factors can increase your risk of developing lactic acidosis while taking metformin, such as having kidney problems or congestive heart failure.
An Overview of Metformin and Lactic AcidosisMetformin (Glucophage®) is a prescription medication licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Very rarely, metformin can cause a life-threatening side effect called lactic acidosis. For this reason, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given metformin a special warning, called a black box warning, about lactic acidosis.
Understanding Lactic AcidosisLactic acidosis is a life-threatening condition caused by too much lactate in the blood and low blood pH. Low blood pH means that your blood contains too much acid, which can be harmful to the cells of your body.
Lactic acidosis is a very dangerous condition and is fatal in about 50 percent of cases. Risk factors for lactic acidosis when taking metformin include:
- Having kidney problems, including kidney failure (renal failure)
- Having liver problems, including liver failure or cirrhosis
- Having congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Having a procedure using contrast dye (see Metformin and Contrast Medium)
- Drinking large amounts of alcohol on a regular basis (see Metformin and Alcohol)
- Drinking a large amount of alcohol at one time (binge drinking).
Shock, worsening of congestive heart failure, or a recent heart attack can also increase the risk of lactic acidosis.

Concise Analysis of the Chinese Condom Industry
06 Mar, 2014, 16:20 GMT
DUBLIN, Mar. 06, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n8j7b9/research_report) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the Chinese Condom Industry" report to their offering.
Condom industry belongs to relative special industries in China. Its market can be divided into two parts. One is government purchase. Chinese government purchases over 1 billion condoms every year, which are used in birth control and venereal disease (VD) protection for free . Although, the number of condoms purchased by Chinese government is huge, the average unit price is extremely low. The other is the commercial market, covering products from low end to high end with yearly growing shares.
In 1974, Chinese government enlisted condoms into contraceptive drugs and tools that are freely provided for people at the reproductive age. From 1985, the government's formal purchase of condoms was gradually conducted. In 2005, Chinese government started condom purchase for preventing AIDS for the first time and distributed 3.05 million condoms to hotels, amusement places and communities for free. It was also the first time that Chinese government purchased condoms with special financial allocation to prevent AIDS. Condoms purchased by Chinese government are distributed to every enterprise, public institutions through the subordinate contraceptives stations. Along with the sharp increase of floating population and the improving personalized requirements on condoms, the importance of this route slightly declined.
Key Topics Covered:
1 Relevant Concepts of Condoms in China
2 Market Status of China Condom Industry, 2011-2013
3 Analysis on Distribution Channels of Condoms in China, 2011-2013
4 Market Competition Status of China Condom Industry, 2011-2013
5 Survey on Condom Consumer Behaviors in China, 2012-2013

Happy Hump Day!
Today I have two freaking amazing polishes in one of my favorite layering combos I've ever done! I love and want pretty much every polish from Nicole by OPI's Kardashian line - not only because I'm addicted to their shows, (I know, I know....) but the colors are just awesome! Kourtney is my favorite (yes, again, I know, I know.....) and Hard-Kourt Fashionista is amazing! Vampy, dark, and sophisticated. Right up my alley! Add CND Effects in Gold Sparkling and it's a match made in Heaven. I'm wearing it now and don't ever want to take it off!
Amazing, right???? Let's discuss the CND first! I recently bought my very FIRST CND polishes (crazy, right?) and this shimmer topcoats are phenomenal. Gold Sparkling is wonderful after just one coat as well! A mixture of ultra, ultra fine gold micro-glitter and holo glitter glams up any mani. In the sun it just POPS! I love finding new layering combos. LOVE!
So now it's time to talk about Hard-Kourt Fashionista. I DIE for vampy deep reds. For forever my favorite has been Deborah Lippman's Dark Side Of The Moon, but now I think it's got a run for it's money! I'm so in love I can't even describe. I think I need a back up! This is two coats. Formula was flawless and smooth.
|Oh, CND, you sly dog, you!

One of the most phenomenal herbs for nature to have given us, aloe Vera or " Ghrita Kumari" was once used in almost every household in this country. The properties of Aloe Vera are many and the benefits derived from it are long lasting and life changing. Aloe Vera juice is one of those few things that we get in nature that we can directly use by applying on your skin. By simply breaking open a leaf, one can get access to a world of goodness. This was however, a long time back. It would be foolish nowadays to consider something like it because of the untold amount of pollution that finds its way to the plants through soil and water pollution.
This is where refined products come in and SarvLiving has been constantly trying to make products from best Aloe Vera juice that are rich in nutrients and are wholesome. There was a time when mothers and grandmothers in Indian homes used to make their own concoction from natural herbs and spices. Today, the common man neither has the talent or the inclination or even the time to do anything of that kind. Instead, we often fall prey to the attraction of commercial products which promise spectacular results in very less time and yet there is no guarantee at all that one would actually get the silky smooth skin or hair as promised.
Rather there is always the possibility that with the overwhelming use of these chemical products over time, one would slowly start developing skin and hair problems that would eventually be very difficult to get rid of. Hence, it can be said that the best option is to switch to herbal products and SarvLiving is dedicated to providing its customers with the best of them. Aloe vera juice for hair is known to have great benefits and problems like dandruff and hairfall is sure to recede after a couple of weeks of using it diligently. So flaunt your glowing skin and healthy mane and you have SarvLiving to thank for it.

Rumbletowne Records Bio:
We decided to start RTR in late 2007 as an experiment.
It was an obvious choice to create a means to broadcast badass punk rock to more people who may crave it, on our own terms.
Neither of us EXACTLY had experience in the production and distribution of vinyl records.
We guessed at what we'd like to make happen and have seen some aspects of our original ideas come to fruition, like 11 records we're super proud of.
Other parts have fallen by the wayside - like we never made that page that explains step-by-step how to make a record... there's a BUNCH of different ways to do it and, honestly, anyone can order up a couple hundred 7"s but it's trial and error that are going to make a GOOD record and we didn't know how to capture that in an essay.
A lot of mistakes have been made and probably we'll make a ton more.
So this website marks a new era:
Most of our releases are available for download on the internet if you know how to find them.
We decided to make it all the more easier - the more rock the better!
You can download the whole album with cover art, no biggie, one stop shopping.
Though you can go for the hits and singles if you wish, we want you to download the whole record because every one is a composition -
there's a flow you miss out on if you pick and choose songs or listen out of order.
And it's the Honor System - pay what you will.
You can donate to us for your downloads (or just because you like us) via our paypal.
We're still not going to use paypal for U.S. mailorder (sorry) we're not ready for that.
It's a big deal for us to start using the paypal system.
Every time any of us uses our credit/debit card the corporations get a pretty hefty percentage of the sale or a fixed fee.
We're enmeshed in capitalism- you're reading this on our website and we're essentially a "business" - but being aware of where our and your money goes and the effect that it has on local economies is really important to us.
Not saying don't use those cards, just thinking about awareness and acknowledging that in this epoch of jadedness and convenience we DO make a difference in small ways.
We gotta make the world we want, within and outside of our scenes and communities.
We're into sending records to small distros around the world, email us and we'll talk about wholesale prices.
And most importantly, we're still hoping that you will order records from us via the old Postal Service:
Send Hidden Cash or Money Orders made out to Erica Freas or Matt Canino

Keep It Real!

In memoriam of the perfect black patent leather peep toe slingback
May 10, 2009
As I mentioned a few days ago, I had a date with a lawyer last week. I've never dated a lawyer, but I didn't want to make snap judgments -- like he was going to be arrogant, sleazy, dress much better than me, etc. -- so I kept an open mind. (Plus, many lawyers in DC are different than corporate lawyers since they're fighting for non-profits or government agencies. This also means they're not filthy rich but still have to pay off those student loans -- yet another reason I don't understand government types.)
Since we were meeting up after work, I had to make a little more effort that day. Joanna and our other co-workers, Tai and Matt, had discussed the day before how to do my hair. (No, Matt's not gay, he just interjects himself into our conversations. He used to try to discuss Battlestar Galactica with us, but we would turn around in our chairs and blatantly ignore him, so I think he's trying another angle now.) Despite the humidity (as great as my hair is, two straight weeks of rain had taken its toll), I curled small sections and fluffed it out then sprayed it with hairspray -- just enough so it would still look soft and bouncy -- and vowed not to touch it for the rest of the day. I was wearing a peacock blue blouse with billowy sleeves and a gray pencil skirt with black patent leather peep toe slingbacks. I looked pretty ab-fab, which was so great because it happened to be the day I ran into Humanitarian in the hallway.
I was coming back from lunch with Megan when I turned a corner and saw a congregation of about eight Air Force guys hanging around by my door. It took me about three and half seconds to realize they were actually hanging by their door and Humanitarian was among them. Half a second after my realization, Humanitarian noticed me and began to squirm. I tried not to laugh (which I do when I get nervous -- see "DUI wasn't drunk!") and then thought, Oh what-EV! He's the one who made things awkward! Anyway, I look fabulous and he's in a stupid uniform. Although he does look really cute in his uniform...Mary El! Focus! Smile a little...no no, too much...better...I am just thinking about how fabulous my life is and how I have a fabulous date with a fabulous lawyer tonight and everything is fabulous. I need to read a thesaurus. My vocabulary is really limited if I can't think of a word other than "fabulous" to describe everything. What about "terrific?" But the derivative is "terror," and that's not really how I want to describe my life. How about...
"Hey! How are you?" he said, way before I was ready to converse. I was only halfway down the hallway. Now I was going to have to chit chat till I got to the door.
"Oh, hi, fine, you?" I almost sang, trying to sound fabulous.
"Good! I finally moved into my condo!" he said like I care.
"Oh good for you," I said, reminding myself to smile. I was nearing the door, so I took out my badge to swipe for entry into my office.
"Yeah, I bought a sofa, but it's too big for the space," he continued.
"You didn't measure?" I tried not to sound mean. Of course I never measure, but if I bought a condo on U-Street I'd like to think I would.
"No. Oh well. So, I've been doing some weapons training for the past few weeks down in southern Virginia." Is this supposed to excuse you from ignoring me? Too bad, buddy. This time when you ignored me it did not make me be in love with you (see "I'm in love with a mediocre guy because he's ignoring me").
"Oh? Okay," I said. I was finally at my door so I lifted my arm to swipe my badge, but he moved closer to me and blocked me. WTH???
"So, I'm finally getting some media coverage of my Robin Hood mission!" he switched subjects again.
"Oh?" I repeated. Is he a schizophrenic humanitarian? And am I supposed to be impressed by him referring to himself as Robin Hood? Ugh why is he so cute in that stupid uniform??? AHHHH!!!!
I moved closer to the door, but so did he, blocking me again. "So, uh, we should get lunch sometime next week," he said. I fought the urge to have a hissy fit.
"Uhh...sure," I said through my big, fake grin. Then I pushed past him, swiped my badge, and flashed the smile at him once more before fleeing into my office. And then I had a hissy fit.
Joanna, Tai, and Matt were there to support me and agreed that he is deranged. They also pointed out that I looked hot that day and thank goodness I was going on a date later.
After the Humanitarian incident, I was super hyped to go on a date. I got off a little early, so I decided to perform a test while waiting for the Lawyer. I sat at the bar, legs crossed and posture straight, ordered a glass of wine, and worked on a crossword puzzle. My friend Brian had told me to try this as it will make me seem approachable. Hitting on Mary El Season is open, boys! I thought, swinging my beautiful, shiny shoe-adorned foot. But they were all more interested in the anorexic Asian female bartender.
After my test flopped, Lawyer showed up and ordered a beer. "Do you want to get a table?" I suggested, not wanting to spend the evening looking sideways at him.
"Nah, I'm fine," he shrugged. Ooooooookay. I'm glad you're fine. I already have a crick in my neck. "So what do you do?"
"Media analysis," I started, ready to give him the spiel I give everyone who asks. But he was watching the TV, so I figured I was already boring him. "What kind of lawyer are you?"
"Government." He said more, but honestly, I doubt you would be interested, and I don't need to waste your time explaining it to you. But if you want to know more, I can give you many, many details, because he talked about it for the next hour. That is, until his phone rang and he talked about something else with a friend of his for a few minutes. Then promptly at 7:15 he announced he was meeting up with some friends but we should get lunch sometime.
I was close to the mall and had coupons, so I figured I might as well make the most of the evening and go shopping. On my way over to Victoria's Secret (like I need any of that stuff) I got a text from Jamie: "What are you doing? Come to Chinatown and let's meet boys!" After having two glasses of wine and no food, that seemed like a brilliant idea. I hopped on the Metro, and when I emerged from the underground tunnel into the bright lights of Chinatown (which is actually Americatown but with Chinese subtitles on everything), I checked my phone for Jamie's location . "Wallet stolen. I'm at Hooters" the text read.
Great, more anorexic competition. I strolled in and found Jamie sitting at a table with a plate full of hot wings and two guys.
"Hi, what happened?" I asked, sitting down, eyeing the taller one.
"Ugh I think it was stolen!" she frowned. "I'm babysitting my friends' boyfriends, by the way."
"Ohhhh, hi," I said, shaking their hands.
"We hung out at the bar for a while, but no one turned it in," the cute one explained. "It's gone."
"But I want to go out!" Jamie cried.
"Maybe we should just call it a night," the other one said. "We all do have to work in the morning."
I was liking that idea. My wine buzz was wearing off, revealing the pain of my throbbing feet. My shoes were pretty, but they were also tight after wearing them for 12 hours.
"What if I go get my passport? Yeah! Let's go!" Jamie exclaimed, jumping out of her seat and motioning toward the door.
We drove to her apartment, and while she looked for her passport I exchanged my shoes for a pair of her flip flops. When she found her passport I stuffed my heels into my purse and we were on our way, while the guys decided to turn in.
We ended up at Marvin's on U Street, and I was delighted at how many young, good looking guys were there. I sidled up to the bar, hoping to order some french fries. I still hadn't eaten and I was feeling faint. Immediately a guy nearby began talking to me, but he quickly switched his focus from me to Jamie. (Joanna told me later that Jamie is like a rockstar when she goes out, leaving little hope for others around her to be noticed. I can't blame her -- her platinum locks look oh-so-vibrant in dim light while mine fade into the background.)
"Mind if I smoke?" the guy asked.
"No! In fact, I'll have one too!" Jamie chirped.
"If I start coughing it's just because I'm coming off a 6-month bout with bronchitis," I Debbie-downered.
"We'll just walk over to the deck," the guy offered, nodding at Jamie.
"Okay, so we'll be right back!" Jamie said, getting up.
"No! Wait! It's okay! I like smoking! Y'all should smoke here! Please smoke! Yaaaaaaaay smoking!" I lied. I really did not want to be left alone to get not hit on again. But they were already walking to the outdoor deck.
My french fries arrived shortly after and I couldn't have been happier to see them. At first I daintily chewed them, hoping someone might notice how pretty I look eating french fries.
"You know," a deep voice to my left said. "If you gave me your number I could put it in my phone."
Is that a real pick-up line? What does that even mean? I turned to see who the cheese belonged to. He looked like a giant toad in a 90s clubbing shirt. I took a handful of fries and shoved them into my mouth, making sure I chewed with my mouth open, just like my mother taught me not to do.
After 20 minutes I was feeling pretty tired and lonely, so I went to find Jamie and the guy. I found them talking to some other people on the deck.
"I'm leaving. Nice to meet you. Bye!" I said then turned to walk out.
Jamie ran after me calling, "Wait! I'll come with you!" Then the guy called after Jamie, "Wait, I'll come with you!" I didn't know at the time, but he had turned possessive. Apparently smoking a cigarette together these days means you're a couple.
Jamie and Possessive Crazy trailed behind me to the Metro, and when I arrived I leaned down to take off the flip flops and put my pretties back on. I took off the right flip flop and put on one shoe, then I reached in for the left one...for the left one...uhhhh...where's the left one?
"What's wrong?" asked Jamie.
"I can't find my shoe!" I squeaked, frantic.
"We'll go back to the bar and look for it. Just wear my flip flops home and I'll get it to you later, okay?" Jamie offered.
I nodded and said good-bye, but after her wallet experience I had a sinking feeling it wasn't going to be at the bar. Her text later that night confirmed what I had suspected: "Shoe wasn't there. I started talking to another guy at the bar and that guy got mad! I'm sorry, are we dating?"
Well, I didn't suspect the second part. Anyway, the worst part about the whole thing is I have one shoe, and someone has the other. Therefore, no one will ever enjoy them again. At least if they were both gone I'd know some poor girl somewhere was wearing them and feeling pretty!
And now let's take a moment in remembrance...

This is your mother. Yes, I do read this sometimes. I would still advise to chew with your mouth shut. You never know what the other brings out in a man. Have you ever seen the movie Tom Jones? Good manners are always appropriate. You never know who is watching or listening.ReplyDelete

Back to school essentals
By now, all the kids nationwide have officially started school. Parents are finally getting into the swing of things, and they have their routines figured out. From practices, to homework, to pick ups and drop offs. I know, it sounds overwhelming just talking about it, reading about it, or even thinking about it. I often think about how people do it with kids in different schools; elementary, middle school, and high school. Being able to sort through each
Notes I love sending my girl with a little note to school in her lunch box. I make them simple and easy for her to read, but I make sure that she knows that we are always thinking of her and missing her. I found these on etsy, and they have tons of cute designs.
Stainless steel bottle: With the kids not eating their lunches until hours after drop off, I thought about what would help best keep water cool. Instantly, this was the first thing I read about, and the first thing I ordered right away without second thought. I can put ice in the water and it stays cool for 8+ hours. Amazing.
Backpack : I love the animal back packs that have matching lunch boxes. They have tons of different animals to pick from, and it really gets the kids excited for school.
Daily Organizer: This is a lifesaver, especially for those with multiple kids. I have seen people use this for even outfits for each day of the week. We use ours for daily activities/crafts that we want to work on.
Sticker names: Way easier than actually writing out the names. Just stick it on.
Muffin Tins: Great for separating the food in the lunches, colorful, and fun for the kids.
Lunch Bots: Our favorite lunch storage of all.
Animal cutters: To make those PB&J {we still call them those even though we use almond butter} a little more exciting.
Saltwater sandals: My biggest one used to always wear sneakers to school because those were the only shoes that I trusted on the playground. That is until we found these. The best there ever was.
Color set: A great gift for the back to school kids.
Library card: Because all we do is read, read, read, and I would be one broke woman if I bought every book we have ever read.
Motorola Wireless Deck: A wireless speaker, with unprecedented range and versatility. I use this for conference calls, in the car and during many a "getting ready for work" morning showers. I think this is a great pick for the student who loves to have music playing while studying, relaxing and getting ready for what life brings. And of course for the mom and dad who love to jam it out the minute they step in the door from work. In my case, jamming is our thing at all hours of the day.
I love this deck for multiple reasons, but the main ones being that: you can connect up to 5 phones, that I can answer phone calls through the deck, and most importantly, the sound quality. It can also reach up to 300 feet away!

Detailed Description
120dB Personal Alarm with Door Window Entry Detector
In the world of self-defense, there is no better distraction than this 2 in 1 Personal/Door Alarm that works as a door window entry detector. This is the type of non-lethal defensive device that can give you a non-confrontational option for responding to potentially violent encounters with criminal elements.
It is all thanks to the amount of attention that such small, simple devices can attract when they are activated. Attention is one of the worst things that a criminal or a wrongdoer can attract when he or she is "working" the streets. And because of the instantly recognizable and extremely loud distress noises that these devices can produce, you can very easily attract both civilians and law enforcement to the scene with the push of a button.
This can also work to distract or startle criminals and instantly make them more vulnerable to other self-defense weapons, like pepper sprays or stun guns. These personal carry self-defense alarms can also be used as simple door and window alarms or even as personal alarms for the elderly. Anyone without the capacity to really fight back against criminals or scream for help (even during non-violent emergencies) can make use of this type of device. They are either aerosol-based or powered electronically; either way, they are very effective at attracting attention through noise.
The 120dB 2-in-1 Personal/Door Alarm acts not only as a personal alarm but also as a burglar alarm that can be hung on doorknobs via its included chain. It only works with metallic door knobs and non-metallic (plastic or wooden) doors. The moment that an intruder puts his or her hand on the doorknob, the alarm will immediately sound off, instantly alerting you to the presence of a possible burglar.
Alternatively, you can also just pull the chain to activate the alarm, which is what allows it to also be used as a mobile personal alarm that you can have with you at all times, especially when you are entering areas of potential danger.
The question of where to buy key chain alarm devices for doors has its answer right here on this website. A more difficult and useful question to answer would be how to use such an alarm. Each door/window/barrier alarm has its own unique design or way of being deployed. If you fully understand the capabilities and capacities of the particular alarm that you have chosen, then you can use it not just for defending your own home from both burglars and home invaders, but also as a way to better secure virtually any room that you are staying in for the night.
In this case, as long as the room that you are staying in features a metal doorknob on a non-metallic door (which is usually the case with most doors on motels, hotels, and transient rooms), the 120dB 2-in-1 Personal/Door Alarm can act as your first line of defense against anyone who might try to force their way into your quarters for whatever reason.
A single 9-volt battery is required for this device to function normally.

What is Digital Retinal Screening?
Today, Digital Retinal Screening is an improved technology in which your doctor can take high-resolution digital photographs of the interior portion of your eye called the retina.
The colour photograph, taken by means of a specialized retinal camera, shows detailed images of the various structures of the retina including the optic nerve, blood vessels, nerve fiber layer, and the macula. It can show abnormalities that may threaten normal vision.
This new technology can greatly aid your doctor's ability to accurately diagnose and document many diseases. It also provides a baseline for comparison with previous and future visits, which aids in monitoring disease progression and response to therapy.
Diabetic Patients
Diabetes is a condition affecting proper circulation. People with diabetes are at high risk for developing a variety of eye diseases including cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, one of the leading causes of blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the small blood vessels in the patient's retina (the light sensing tissue in the back of the eye). Early detection is key to preventing vision loss, making it crucial for diabetic patients to have regular photographs taken of their eyes. Through the use of retinal screening, your doctor can accurately diagnose diabetic retinopathy as well as carefully monitor any disease progression. It is possible to first discover diabetes as the result of a retinal screening.
Glaucoma Patients
Glaucoma is the term for a group of diverse eye diseases, all of which cause progressive damage to the optic nerve (the part of the eye that carries visual messages to the brain). This results in a gradual loss of vision in the peripheral or side portion of the patient's visual field. Glaucoma is often, but not always, accompanied by high intraocular fluid pressure (IOP) in the eye. Because most people have no symptoms or warning signs until the disease has advanced beyond repair, it is crucial for glaucoma patients to have retinal screenings, so the doctor can detect even slight changes in the condition of their optic nerve.
Patients with Macular Degeneration
Age-related Macular Degeneration, or AMD, is the breakdown of the macula (the part of the retina that provides sharp, central vision). Over 90% of people with macular degeneration have the dry form of the disease, which does not usually cause severe vision loss. The second form, the wet form, is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the macula that can leak fluid or bleed. Wet AMD can lead to significant complications and vision loss in the center of the visual field. Early detection is essential, because it can ensure adequate treatment and help prevent greater damage. For this reason, it is very important for all AMD patients to have regular retinal photographs taken of their eyes, so their doctor can closely monitor any progression of the disease.
Patients with Healthy Eyes
Even patients (adults and children) with healthy eyes should be screened. Knowing what the eye looked like when it was healthy (baseline image) is often times the best way to detect if a disease is starting. The patient's healthy photograph can also be compared with future photographs to determine if there have been any changes.
Patients with Other Retinal Diseases and Disorders
Patients with other retinal diseases should also have regular retinal screenings. Depending on the severity of the disease and the history of the disease in your family, your doctor can recommend the best course of treatment and testing.
Some of the Advantages of Digital Retinal Screening:
- Your images are available immediately, allowing for quick diagnosis and an appropriate management for your unique case.
- The images can be enhanced using sophisticated software to highlight any problem areas. This helps your doctor with diagnostic decisions.
- Your doctor can show you your images at the time of your screening so you can make the most informed decision on your own management. Specialized software can help a family member understand in what way your vision may be affected and how you see your world.
- Digital photographs can be sent electronically to a co-managing doctor, if necessary, allowing for more timely diagnosis and treatment.
- Digital photographs can be placed in your permanent clinical record, allowing your doctor to closely monitor even the slightest progression of any abnormalities.

Larry Ellison booted Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff from his speaking slot at the Oracle OpenWorld conference, so Benioff just moved down the street to the Ame restaurant in the St. Regis Hotel.
Benioff said that about 1,000 people were turned away because there wasn't enough room.
So far, the presentation very similar to Benioff's speech at his own Dreamforce conference last month, including comparisons of old software with Arab dictators.
But Benioff also used the sudden switch as a case study for how Salesforce's new social software features can help businesses adapt quickly.
As he noted, most people at the event heard about it on social networks — specifically from a tweet Benioff put out yesterday afternoon.
And of course, he couldn't resist a few shots at Oracle. "The message of this show is proprietary hardware and software....At least last year, we heard 'well, we have the cloud too.' This year, we haven't even heard that."

Creeks Ordinance Revisions Move on to City Council
Planning Commissioners voted to recommend changes to the city's contentious Creeks Ordinance on Wednesday as devised by the ad-hoc Creeks Task Force. Or did they?
The commission agreed to support the work of the task force, which spent more than a year toiling over how to amend the 1989 legislation that regulates development on and near Berkeley's waterways, but with several caveats.
Among them, property owners should be allowed to rebuild their homes in the original footprint by right (currently a use permit is required of all homes), standards for environmental review should be relaxed and the use permit process for changing or adding on to existing structures should be "less onerous."
Many of these issues, particularly by-right rebuilding, were hotly debated but never resolved among Creeks Task Force members. Mayor Tom Bates, in conjunction with three city councilmembers, announced on Tuesday a proposal to allow by-right rebuilding after a disaster. The recommendation will go before the City Council May 16.
A handful of members from the homeowners' advocacy group Neighbors on Urban Creeks said they were pleased with Wednesday's Planning Commission verdict, but they're unclear as to exactly what the commission stands for.
Commissioners Gene Poschman and Mike Sheen voted against the recommendations. Commission Chair Helen Burke abstained.
The Creeks Ordinance was developed to protect the city's natural waterways, but has come under fire because it forbids homeowners from rebuilding within 30 feet of a creek, whether open or interred. Many were not aware they owned creekside property until 2004, when the city released maps of Berkeley's watercourses and sent notices to creekside homeowners informing them that they fall under the jurisdiction of the ordinance.
The Creeks Ordinance has pitted creeks advocates, who encourage a stronger ordinance, against homeowners, who prefer fewer restrictions on development near natural waterways.
An additional motion was passed Wednesday instructing staff to submit the opinion of Neighbors on Urban Creeks in addition to commissioner comments to the City Council. City councilmembers are expected to take up the issue for final approval before summer recess..

We're republishing one of our favorite interviews, with actress and writer Mary-Louise Parker. If you missed it the first time, I hope you'll take a listen now. As many of you know, Mary-Louise is the Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe award-winning actress and writer of the exceptional memoir-in-letters, Dear Mr. You. It was such a pleasure to have such an open and honest conversation with someone I admire so much. Dear Mr. You was a revelation for me. I cried so many times while reading it – not because I was upset – more because Mary-Louise hit on truths that I hadn't had words for before. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Check out The New York Times review Mary-Louise Parker's 'Dear Mr. You' by one of our other favorite guests, Kate Bolick.
I'll be back next week, September 13th, with literary legend Ann Patchett.
xoxo Angie
Buy 'Dear Mr. You' on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or at your local independent bookstore.

Disney XD has unveiled the first clip from Marvel's Spider-Man, the upcoming animated series that takes the wall-crawler back to his roots -- and back to high school.
Capitalizing on the theatrical release in July of Spider-Man: Homecoming, the series premieres later this summer, offering a new take on the hero's origins, as 15-year-old Peter Parker gains incredible abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider.
The first clip, which debuted this afternoon at TVGuide.com, depicts the young hero in a homemade costume -- one that will undoubtedly be familiar to anyone who's seen the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailers -- as he faces off against classic foe the Scorpion.
Although there's been no confirmation by either Marvel Television or Disney XD, merchandise recently surfaced suggesting that Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen will have prominent roles in the series. Venom is also depicted. Both Miles Morales and Spider-Woman (aka Spider-Gwen) appeared on Ultimate Spider-Man, which premiered in 2012 as part of Disney XD's Marvel Universe programming block.
No casting announcements have been made for Marvel's Spider-Man. Philip Pignotti (Marvel's Avengers Assemble) is the supervising director, with Kevin Shinick (Robot Chicken) serving as story editor. Consulting producers are Dan Slott (Spider-Man: Big Time, The Superior Spider-Man), Kevin Burke and Chris "Doc" Wyatt (Marvel's Avengers Assemble, Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man).
