Jah Birth New Ltd. Secures a Deal with South African Broadcasting Corporation for "CHANCE – A TRIBUTE TO LUCKY DUBE"
Johannesburg, South Africa
Jah Birth New Ltd., based in Kingston Jamaica has secured an exclusive deal with the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), one of the nation's largest and most powerful broadcasters. The SABC has entered an agreement with Jah Birth to acquire the full and exclusive rights to Prophecy's single "CHANCE – A TRIBUTE TO LUCKY DUBE" for a limited period in South Africa and the rest of the world; the agreement also extends to the single's video. The song was written and recorded in Jamaica on the Jah Birth label and was dedicated to Lucky Dube after he was murdered in Johannesburg on October 18th.
Rohan Brown, a.k.a. Prophecy, is an up and coming Jamaican reggae artist who has been with Jah Birth since 2000.
"This project is a spiritual one and one which we had to do" says Delroy "Worm" Nevin, Chief Executive Officer of Jah Birth New Limited. Nevin continues to explain "that something needed to be done to honour a revolutionary, a humanitarian and a fellow reggae ambassador." Thereafter, CHANCE – A TRIBUTE TO LUCKY DUBE was born. While the song acknowledges the loss and the pain felt over Dube's death, it also asks pertinent questions about violence and its consequences.
In addition, the SABC is producing and filming a video for the song along with a documentary on Lucky Dube. The filming began in Jamaica and concluded in South Africa. Both the video and documentary will include footage taken in Johannesburg, Soweto, and Durban. The documentary, which features Prophecy, follows Lucky Dube's eldest son, Thokozani, as he embarks on a journey tracing his father's path back to the roots of Reggae music. Thokozani comments: "The fact that the Jamaicans called us upon doing a tribute song to Lucky Dube is an indication that the SABC is a true custodian of South Africa's cultural heritage and artistic expressions."
While in Johannesburg, the single, CHANCE - A TRIBUTE TO LUCKY DUBE debuted on 18 of the SABC's radio stations simultaneously. Meanwhile, Prophecy was busy filming and interviewing with major radio and television stations across the nation while maintaining his connection with radio at home in Kingston, JA. After a week of non-stop excitement for Jah Birth New Ltd., Prophecy and South Africans, radio stations in South Africa were inundated with calls from listeners thanking and praising the Jamaican native who honoured their hero. In return, Prophecy was honoured at a packed Club Carfax in downtown Jo'burg.
History was also made when Prophecy performed CHANCE - A TRIBUTE TO LUCKY DUBE with Lucky Dube's band, formerly "The Slaves". It was extremely emotional and his performance was greeted with immediate calls for an encore. The highly receptive crowd also had an opportunity to hear more of Prophecy's work when he performed additional, original songs: DEM WRONG, DON'T COME TELL ME and an acapella of PUFF PUFF and PASS.
Now that it is official, Prophecy and Jah Birth are very proud to share this exciting news with the rest of the world. For more information, and to book interviews contact Teresa Castellucci via

Three of the world's top reggae/dancehall singers have renounced homophobia and condemned violence against lesbians and gay men.
Beenie Man, Sizzla and Capleton had previously released anti-gay hate songs, including incitements to murder lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
They have now signed up to the Reggae Compassionate Act in a deal brokered with top reggae promoters and Stop Murder Music activists.
The agreement follows the three-year-long Stop Murder Music campaign, which resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of the singers' concerts and sponsorship deals, causing them income losses estimated in excess of five million dollars.
"The Reggae Compassionate Act is a big breakthrough," said Peter Tatchell, of the British gay human rights group OutRage!.
Mr Tatchell is coordinator of the worldwide Stop Murder Music campaign. He helped negotiate the deal with the three singers.
"The singers' rejection of homophobia and sexism is an important milestone. We rejoice at their new commitment to music without prejudice," said Mr Tatchell.
If Tiken Jah is the Africa's voice, he is also a light for all the nations and assembles people around his music all the ones thirsty of Justice.

"People criticise what they don't know or understand and develop preconceptions, and so given that, I have gone against what they've developed as a stereotype," said Redwood, who is in Mexico for the Miss Universe final on May 28 in Mexico City.
Rastafarians -- who worship the late Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie as a God they call "Jah" -- stress peace, love, spiritual goals and natural living, Redwood said, denying a clash between Rasta culture and being a beauty queen.
"The Rastafarian culture and beauty pageants have a great deal in common because they both promote decorum in the attitude of the female and the female as a role model in society. You're looking at beauty of the mind, body and soul," she said.
Rather than discrimination, the main reason for a dearth of Rasta beauty queens on the international circuit is the movement's rejection of the more corrupt or gaudy facets of modern society, which they call "Babylon," Redwood said.
Made famous around the world by Bob Marley's reggae songs, the Rasta culture emphasizes human dignity and self-respect.
"Rastafarians have been a very conservative group so modelling and pageants have been considered Babylonian to some extent," Redwood said.
Lawd have mercy...... The Broadcasting Commision of Jamaica is instilling its rules and regulations..... dem a gwann wicked see yah now dem ban Red Rad Song because of its lyrical contect by using the word GLAMITY.....
THIS IS WHAT one876entertainment.com has to say about this
Red Rat banned? Dancehall fans have been stunned by the latest move by the Broadcasting Commission to ban Red Rat's popular It Good song because of the use of the word 'glamity' in one of the verses.
"I just got word that it was banned from Hitz and FAME because they said that I used the word 'glamity'. I can't believe it all now, they ban my song because of that word and yet you have man ah kill people inna song, mi nah call no name, and yet he is not banned," an incensed Red Rat told One876Entertainment.com.
"I won't accept it, my management is writing a letter to the Broadcasting Commission right now, I don't understand this at all, 'glamity' is not even in the dictionary, it is not a swear word, it is a Jamaican slang term, and my song is not even derogatory, it is bigging up the girls dem," Red Rat, who buried his father a few weeks ago, said.
Red Rat is known for the dancehall girls, Shelly Ann and Charlene Have Pretty Car Eye.
Blessed Love
The song's refrain: "It's not about class, color or races, let's get together and see different places" is propelled by images of a mohawk haired-woman, an Orthodox Jewish man, along with African, and Asian people whose singing faces are imposed and depicted Gentleman's dancing torso.
Los Angeles-based players Adam Arredondo, Spacey, Dr. Scorp (pictured on drums), Cedric (R) (pictured here with Ras Kassa (L) and Shawn (on bass) were hired to act as the musicians performing the Firehouse crew-crafted rhythm track. Another of the video's scenes depicted here, features Gentleman singing with the band in front of a multi-flag backdrop.

Description: The gyuto is modeled after the French pattern chef's knife. Longer and slimmer than the santoku, it is well suited to slicing and chopping -- an ideal general purpose chef's knife. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion required to cut meat and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance perfect.
Each knife is individually hand-forged beginning with a high carbon stainless steel core (hagane). This is surrounded by many layers of high contrast Damascus. This time consuming process creates a knife with outstanding edge holding and beauty. The blade is distal tapered for optimal balance and has an extremely thin, keen edge for high performance.
The right-handed 'D' shape handle fits comfortably and securely in the hand and is best used by a right-handed user. It is formed from ho wood, the traditional wood for Japanese handles. This wood, which is a relative of magnolia, holds up extremely well in the harsh environment of the kitchen. A dark red pakka wood ferrule adds nice contrast. Each knife is sent in a nice gift box.
Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.

Presidents message
The first and main point is Communication. We will hold many Skype calls and communicate as a group of leaders monthly to handle all items that need our attention. Another key point is that we will deal with the physical body contact that is creeping back into our game with direct route bodychecks. We will clean this up through our newly created Referee In Chiefs who will be selected by us in the summer to make the game more safe. Our goal is to reach out to all our nations to create a safer game. This is important because we want more players to want to play our game and that means the youth of the World. And this is a cornerstone of us to create growth. A safer game brings more players to our sport.
Finally we asked all of our nations to come together and work for the common good of the sport. And I would like to say that the Board of Directors for our five cornerstone nations were all in agreement in the direction our sport needs to go to move forward. And this could be seen in the beautiful Czech embassy we had our meeting in.
This year the ISBHF will hold its World Championships in the Czech Republic. This nation loves our sport and will open its arms to players of the World coming for the World Juniors and Masters. The cities of Pisek, Strakonice and Pilsen await. In addition we are hopeful that another World Club team championship will have great success in Villach, Austria. No doubt a great year of International play awaits. And the ISBHF wants these tournaments to be the best they can be for our players.
All in all it is with great pride that I follow in the footsteps of the Presidents and Executive that have our game in a great position to move into the future. I can promise you that our ISBHF Board of Directors team will move to make the game reach higher heights during our tenure. We are ready to work for our over 100,000 members around the World!!
Have a great 2012 season.
George Gortsos
ISBHF President
Wort des Präsidenten

George Vithoulkas Homeopathy Challenge - Starting Anew
Written by James Randi
The brouhaha that began as a comprehensive homeopathy test In Greece, has been consuming far too much of my time and attention, and of my colleagues, as well. Forget all previous correspondence exchanged on the subject.
What appears HERE is the current status.
We're starting anew.
Bear in mind that WE are offering the million-dollar prize, and WE will control the parameters, in line with the rules of the challenge – which are available to everyone. There will be no more exceptions, which I had – unwisely – granted to certain persons in order to be more accommodating; they have always chosen to be difficult, capricious, and arrogant as a result of this courtesy. No more.
First, we require that George Vithoulkas submit a regular, properly-filled-out application, and submit it – just as we require EVERYONE to do. After that has been received, we'll go ahead – as with any regular applicant – with the arrangements, including the requirement for the preliminary stage. Since I'm not personally handling the challenge applications, I'm not aware of how many places George Vithoulkas has tried for a venue, but I know that his own country turned him down, as well as some others. Second, we'll require that Mr. Vithoulkas obtain a venue and all the necessary facilities for conducting a double-blind, correct, acceptable protocol, before we will go ahead – following the receipt of the application.
The protocol used by the Royal Society/BBC tests in the UK – based on Jacques Benveniste's design, and carefully supervised by the homeopathic community there – would be acceptable for this set of tests.
Don't contact me personally on this matter. I'll not entertain any arguments or pleas. It will be handled by Alison Smith, working with others on our staff.
These 300 words constitute my entire commentary on the matter.
James Randi.

Hannah's Blue & Green Room in Halifax
My Room
Name: Hannah (1 week)
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Blue and green are my two favourite colours, so when it came time to decorate a gender-neutral nursery (the baby's sex is a surprise), I knew those were the colours I wanted to use. My goal was to create a serene and soothing space with a little bit of whimsy (it's a kid's room after all).
We did all the work ourselves, including installing new hardwood floors and baseboards. We were on a tight budget, so the room is filled with DIY projects - from the open storage in the closet to the bunting flag art to the crib, curtains and changing table. The room is quite small and lacked storage, so we hung floating shelves and ditched the closet door to maximize the space and keep the room from feeling too cluttered.
We couldn't be happier with how the room turned out!
Thanks Amelia & Adam! Readers, say hi to Amelia at her blog, House Pretty.

So serene. And I'm enthralled with that perfectly ordered closet!
I love the alphabet decals over the changing table - where did you get those? You'll be so glad you did that when your baby is older - a great thing to get her focused on when the diaper changes get increasingly squirmy (and an educational opportunity to boot!). We have decals above our changing table too - a safe and fun way to decorate the wall.
@K-ROG The wall decal is from DeSerres - a Canadian chain of art supply stores. You can also find it on their website. Thanks!
can you share the name of the wall paint color?
Love it! The pictures over the crib are adorable.
Can you tell me where you got your crib?
Simply lovely! Where did you get the white bins on the shelves in the closet?
So sweet and cozy. My favorite nursery on AT, seriously.
Lucky baby... Love it!
Oh cool, I live in Halifax toO\o!
The wall colour is called 'Inkling' by SICO (www.sico.ca) and the crib is a hand-me-down that we painted (I believe it's a Storkcraft crib if that helps).
Oh, and the white bins came from the dollar store!
Love! This is one of the most beautiful nurseries I've come across - clean lines, calming and easy on the eyes. I adore the curtains, pillows, and floating shelf displays as well.
I'm considering replacing our glider with a baby rocker similar to the Eames-style rocker you have. Would you mind telling me if the rocker is comfortable?

CRICKET: Support for East Oxford election
10:30am Thursday 11th October 2012 in Sport
EAST Oxford CC are on course to be elected to the Cherwell League.
The Oxfordshire Cricket Association champions' application has the backing of Cherwell chiefs as they "appear to meet all of the criteria for membership".
Now clubs will vote on their election at the league's annual meeting at Bicester & North Oxford on Thursday, November 22 (7.30pm).
The league's management committee will recommend that East Oxford, who will play their home games at Lincoln College, be placed in Divisions 4 and 7.
Meanwhile, Oxford & Bletchingdon Nondescripts have had their 4th XI axed from the league for next season because of the number of games they cancelled in the last two seasons.
Dinton's 3rd XI are to be monitored next year because of the games they scrapped in 2012 and 2011.
Legendary former Oxfordshire seamer Keith Arnold is to stand down from the management team at the annual meeting due to work commitments.
This Saturday, divisional champions and individual winners will receive their trophies at the annual dinner and presentation night at Hawkwell House Hotel, Oxford, with former New Zealand Test captain Jeremy Coney the guest speaker.

Also some clubs by voting them in could actually relegate themselves.
or get a team from their club promoted by not voting for them.

Riversdale Primary School provides a happy, stimulating learning environment where every child is valued. We seek to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge which will help pupils achieve their true potential through praise, encouragement and high expectation of work and behaviour.
We aim to:
Provide a broad and balanced curriculum with a sound grounding in the basic skills of Literacy and Numeracy together with the independence and confidence to apply these skills.
Foster lively, enquiring minds and enthusiasm for learning by treating children as individuals and building on their success.
Make children feel valued and respected so they can be confident and secure; willing to seek help in the understanding that overcoming difficulty is part of the learning process.
Develop, through example and explanation, a sense of responsibility, self discipline and respect – for one another, the school and community.
Show the importance of socialising and collaborating with sensitivity, consideration and humour.
Encourage aesthetic and spiritual awareness.
Allow children, staff, parents, governors and the community to share in our achievements and take pride in our school.
Look at the outstanding report we received from the Inclusion Quality Mark assessor. We are very proud of everyone!
Come on a happy tour of our lovely school....
We are all very happy at Riversdale as we have just received a letter from the Minister of State for Education, David Laws MP, congratulating us on our performance in 2013. Click here to read the full letter.

24 Craze Hits Riversdale
Children and adults alike are going crazy for the exciting maths game called 24. It is an arithmetical card game in which the object is to find a way to manipulate four numbers so that the end result is 24. Addition, subtraction, multiplication or division may be used. The game is a great way for all Riversdale children to improve their mental maths skills. Mental Maths is a whole school focus we have in Mathematics this year. All key stage 2 children will be playing the game in their classroom and later in the year, Year Five will be competing in a 24 tournament involving many schools across the borough. Click here for more information about how to play.

Maths Week
A big well done and thank you, to all the children, parents and teachers for their recent involvement in Money week.
All children from Nursery to Year Six were involved in learning about Money. All year groups also undertook an enterprise project so children could have real life experience dealing with and handling money. Nursery and Reception sold their beautiful Diwali lamps to their parents. Years 1 and 2 made and sold Rocky Road treats and cakes to each other. Key Stage Two held their own market stall afternoon with children making and selling fruit skewers, milk shakes, shortbread and cakes.
A group of children from Key Stage One had the opportunity to visit Pizza Express in Putney. Whilst there they learned all about working in a restaurant and were able to enjoy some tasty pizza they made all on their own.
The money boxes that were designed and made by many families were amazing. Next time you are visiting the School Office be sure to take a moment to view some of the wonderful money boxes we have put on show.
Our Riversdale Bank was a hit with the children with many earning Riversdale money to save in their special bank account. Be sure to ask your child how much money they saved.
What a busy, fantastic time we had learning all about money in the world around us!
As is usual for Riversdale, everyone has been extrememly generous. So far an astounding £1,120 has been collected. All the money collected will be going to support the people in the Philippines after the recent disaster. Thank you everyone, and well done....
We celebrated Black History Month in our school with a variety of events and happenings. We have had a special assembly and children learnt about prominent Black figures in class. Pupils were asked to complete a questionnaire and create a poem about a famous Black person who could be a scientist, author, musician, inventor, TV personality or sports person from the past or present.
Some of the answers to the questionnaires could be found displayed around the school and others required a little research. Click here to see the questionnaires - you may also download them!
All poems will be collated and either displayed or become part of a book and be put on display.
In Key stage 1, including Reception, there were six prizes for the winners and six runners up prizes. In Key Stage 2 there was a tea party for the four winners and four runners up with the Deputy Head and Carla.
We tried to make the world's longest line of coins. Our line reached for 300 metres and we raised an astounding £330.75p.Each class measured how long their contribution to the line was. They also added up how much money they had added to the line.A very big thank you to Bernadette for counting all the 1p and 2p coins - what a job!

This week, seven homeless military veterans went out to several Denver neighbors to plant trees. The group represents Veterans City Canopy which is based on Veteran Green Jobs. By planting roughly 40 trees each day, they hope to accomplish their goal of 4,600 trees by August 2012. This program also teamed up with Greenprint Denver's Mile High Million, which aspires to plant 1 million trees by 2025.

The staff is very nice, the rooms are neat and clean and the free breakfast (even if it is not a buffet) it makes it better. I totally recomed it and I will come back to the hostel when I go to New York. "

- " I think it is a surprisingly great hostel, absolutely worth it booking there. The location is great, there is a police station near. I liked the common areas and the 2 bed rooms are comfortable and bearable. "
- 05 Sep 2014 Laszlo Hungary
- " Had a positive experience.Staff at the front desk:ok.Not too customer service oriented but not rude neither-friendlier to some girls than to solo travelling guys.Room: modest(a bit stinky) but still ok.There was a funny note in the room:"Don't open window cause the a/c will fall". A/C was good.Unclear instructions on the lockers was theonly bad thing.To all those ppl who leave bad comments:this is a HOSTEL and don't expect top notch customer service or facilities or compare them to hotel chains. "
- 04 Sep 2014 Ante Croatia
- " Wifi never works, or when it does it is very weak. So you buy a room with NO internet. FYI "
- 03 Sep 2014 Anonymous Portugal
- " The hostel has a high security level, which is good. But it comes on the expense of other things, like Internet. Unfortunately in the 21th century the internet in the hostel is just in the breakfast area and it closes at 11pm - which means no internet after this hour! That's very inconsiderate for tourists from other countries who want to call their families and can't. In addition all the common areas close at 11pm and if you want to put/take something from the fridge its impossible as well. "
- 01 Sep 2014 Vered Israel
- " I and my friend stayed at a double-bed room. the room was clean. There was AC. No TV. The bathroom and toilette was very clean. We had to buy our soap though. Location wise, it was great. We also fouind free parking on 20th avenue. If i visit nyc again, I might consider staying at a private room again. "

- " While the Staff was nice, the breakfast tasted good and the courtyard was acceptable, the room was really bad. The A/C was taped under the window, but you could still stick your hand outside. Bathrooms are really old and pretty dirty. There was nothing to hang your towel or something in the room. Bed was lower than average (squeaky and uncomfortable) compared to other hostels we used in our trip. Early checkout (because we couldn't stand the room) was easy and professionally handled. "

- " I enjoyed my stay in Chelsea International Hostel. The facilities were clean and everything was ordered. The staff was very nice and helpful. The location was great it was very easy to get to the main parts of town and also it was easy to get to the airport JFK. I enjoyed everything except that my room had view to the street and sometimes it was hard to sleep with so much noise but other than that it was a nice place to stay "

Chapelle de la Vieille Charité I Marseille
/// Chiharu Shiota will represent Japan at the 56th Venice Biennale 2015, showing her installation titled The Key in the hand. ///
In the same vein as Marina Abramovic, Chiharu Shiota places the body at the heart of her sculptural work, weaving huge environments out of black threads that imprison objects. Thus liberated from any useful purpose, they generate new poetic and moving visions.
After selecting 10 costumes from Le Guépard designed by Luisa Spinatelli, Chiharu Shiota has devised an unusual installation for the Ballet National de Marseille and the Vieille Charité that is both monumental and delicate.
"The threads are woven into one
They become entangled.
They tear.
They come undone.
They are like a mirror of feelings."
Chiharu Shiota
produced by Chiharu Shiota
costumes by Luisa Spinatelli, from the production of Le Guépard created by Roland Petit for the BNM on 18 November 1994 at the Opéra de Marseille.

Hey look.. I caught up on my blog! I didn't post any Thanksgiving photos, we were able to get together with my family and Jess' family this year a bit early, but I guess I was too busy preparing the meal that I didn't shoot much of anything. We enjoyed the family get togethers and have even had two Tree Pickings already… again, not much for photos, sorry. We ran out of ideas for a Christmas card this year, but slapped one together. We jumped in the Cessna 172 and I put the wide angle lens on the Lumix and we snapped this shot for our card. I hit it with a couple of filters just to make it more interesting, but am including another shot that made the list of possibilities so you can get the idea of what it looked like in the plane.

Our 15th Anniversary
Wow. I never would have guessed it to actually happen… but we did what we said we were going to do.. go on a trip for our 15th. We were able to get some really cheap tickets to FL. $39/pp one-way. A bit more after taxes and hidden fees, but it was still cheap.
We spent 4 days and 3 nights in Fort Lauderdale (Dec 1-4). We did very little but enjoyed the warm weather and the food.
Hiking in the Woods
Matt came up in his usual manner. Shortly after Thanksgiving for a walk on the proper with his rifle. He brought a friend and Nathan and I joined him for the walk. We had a great time, a fresh snow had just fallen and it was beautiful in the woods. We tried to catch up with some turkeys and ended up tracking a peeing rabbit (did you know they sometimes pee red!? Diet depending). We loaded all the guns and had a shoot-out for old times sake. Nathan shot all ten weapons.
Time to go Begging
I think this will be about the last year we do this. Nathan didn't have much to dress up in, and we certainly were not going to buy an outfit for an 11 year old. He donned his aviator clothes and we set off for Bangor to join the Libby group in a walk around the development. The older boys even walked around by themselves this year.. a sign we're due to end this tradition.
A Walk in the Park
Sorta.. I've driven by this River Walk a few times and thought I was feeling up to a short walk. It was about a mile long and my legs were soggier than I expected but we took our time and I was able to shoot some photos on the way. It's a nice place to walk, and I guess they ski the path in the winter.
A Motorcycle Ride!
Wow, it's been a long Spring and Summer. My health has been the worst ever and we haven't been out on the bike at all I don't think. (Maybe one short ride). I was feeling pretty good and the weather was nice for October, so we talked Matt and Sarah into meeting us in Augusta for lunch. A great day of friends and riding. We added 150 miles to the odometer and was pretty tuckered by the end of the ride.
Matt Comes to Play
I was a bit short on time, as I was working today. But I did get over to Matts land with he and Sarah for a short visit. They were trying to clear some more area and take inventory of what they had to do to get the little camp in there. Always a time when we walk on the "back forty".
Ordering the iPhone 4S
Yes, I think this was worth blogging about.
We finally had the option to get an iPhone. Verizon did pick up the iPhone 4, but more than half way through it's life cycle, so we held off.. that and my upgrade wasn't available yet. Verizon has much better coverage up here in the country than does AT&T. Our upgrade came in July, so we waited patiently until the iPhone "5″ was finally announced.
I wasn't going to go stand in line to order a phone, but since I was still having trouble sleeping, I did wake up right at 3:06am just as sales were open. So, I ordered two, one for me and one for Jess. Now we wait.
New Range
Well this has been a long time coming. A new range. We've been living with all the broken parts on the old one for far too long. I had already replaced all the knobs once, but they didn't want to stay on. The piezo wasn't working so for the last 2 years we'd been lighting the stove with a grill lighter. So, we dropped big coin and got a nice range that I hope lasts 20 years.
Weekend Project
I always like to tinker with my hands, it's good to have a project that you can build something and feel like you accomplished something. I was feeling up to putting together a roof bracket for a basketball hoop so Nathan and I tackled the project and Uncle Buddy helped a bit on the way.

SEATTLE, Wash. - Hundreds attended Thursday's state Liquor Control Board forum in Seattle to talk about how marijuana will be legally sold in the state.
Board members say marijuana-only stores will likely be regulated and operated like the old state-operated liquor stores.
Prices are expected around $12 to $15 a gram. More public forums are scheduled Feb. 7 in Vancouver, Feb. 12 in Spokane, Feb. 19 in Mount Vernon and Feb. 21 in Yakima. The state hopes to have a system in place for marijuana sales by December.
