From Joan Hall, president of the Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association on the neighborhood, the city and mini-dorm developer Michael Goodman's ongoing dispute on the city's definition of single family zoning and group dwellings:

Dear Neighbors and Friends,

JPNA, the City of Tucson, and mini-dorm developer Michael Goodman have tentatively agreed to mediate, over the next month, the issue of Goodman group dwellings (“mini-dorms”) in Jefferson Park. We are hopeful that this will lead to a City-wide determination with a clearer and broader definition of what constitutes a group dwelling.

Therefore, the hearing that was scheduled for tomorrow, July 27th (Weds), will be postponed to the Aug meeting. We will let you know when that is.

We still need a show of support for this issue, so keep sending your comments to Ms. Russlyn Wells at [email protected] and to your Councilmembers and the Mayor. Case numbers are C10-11-07 and C10-11-06, and comments might say “We support the efforts by JPNA and its negotiating partners to resolve, for once and for all, the issues of group dwellings in low density residential neighborhoods.”

I don't know exactly what's happening in this video shared on Reddit, but I assume someone told this woman that she can't use her ExtraCare bucks on liquor. When I first heard that, I think I called for God's wrath on the cashier as well.

Either that or someone was stealing their weight in razors and makeup while all of this was happening, but I'd prefer to think of it as a genuine religious experience.

• Have you seen me, baby?

Researchers from the University of Arizona, Saguaro National Park and Friends of Saguaro National Park are studying the ecology and natural history of Gila Monsters in the park and they need your help.

If you see a Gila Monster in the park, take a photo, write down the date and time you saw the adorable, yet venomous creature, the location you saw it, estimated body length, observed behaviors, and what the weather was like (temperature, cloudy, rainy, windy). If you have info of past sightings with photos, they want that, too.

Upload your photos with the info here: www.herpcount.org. If you have any questions, send an e-mail to [email protected]. Remember, don't bother the Gila Monster, just observe him and stay out of his way. He's busy and has better things to do out there in the desert besides bite you.

There's a bit of the Rialto Theatre and other scenes of Tucson in the video for Good Charlotte's "1979." The band played at the Rialto on June 12:

"Mixed Presence" by Rose Moon, is on display in Arizona Biennial '11, through Oct. 2, at the Tucson Museum of Art, 140 N. Main Ave.

Take a break out of your hectic Tuesday, and relax like this squirrel. Then, check out this slideshow and make a big, cheesy smile as you eat from your bag of Cheetos (or is that just me)?

The understatement of the day:

"It is absolutely impossible for someone to fix their own hernia,” said Sam Carvajal, a surgeon at Glendale Adventist Medical Center.

Also, even if it were possible, using a butter knife for the task probably isn't ideal.

Strangely, this video makes me like Wal-Mart more and English people less, which is a strange turn of events for sure.
