I'm totally fed up with all the drama Minecraft is doing. He...
1) He blocked a Chinese user with a different username ONLY BECAUSE his username is written in Chinese Characters. The name of the username is just the name of a city in China!
2) Is it really necessary to highlight this thread?
3) He deleted a blog post unnecessarily (2 lazeh to give da link XD)
4) He blocked a user on some other wiki, reason was NOTHING, he just added some...
4a) You can check on the thread link I gave in 2. You can see that!
I don't know you want to demote him or not, but if I was a b-crat, I would never let an admin do something silly/wrong/unfair for more than 3 times, no matter what wiki that is. And if his rights are not demoted, it will be a bit unfair for Papl cuz she never blocked someone without a reason, the only fault in her was: she used curse words without censoring them. -_- But... I have something to say regarding that.
It's hard to believe, but I swear too much in my personal life. But, I don't swear here because, internet is not such a good place for swearing. Maybe I'm able to control my words only because I'm not an English speaker. But Papl is an English speaker, and I think, it's normal that a person will use his/her own language for swearing (not that I'm supporting... I still say that internet is not a good place and at least, she could censor them. But since this wiki is kiddie, better not swear AT ALL.)
I just told you something. What you will think or do, that's totally upto you since you are the head admin. :) I was just letting you know that something is going wrong.Loading editor

Okay... here is the link. This blog. (Is the reason for deletion THAT necessary?!)Loading editor
Okay maybe it was a mistake to choose him. Honestly MIC was a better admin then him. He has been getting on everyone's nerves, so I guess I'll have to demote him.Loading editor
Well, that explains me why Daniel was so mad at him. Anyways, the 5-Division-Finals. Just because it's abandoned and you're name isn't there you delete the blog? Why? And for the first (chinese thingy), my friend in Criminal Case Wiki has a japanese username and her name is Koishi, that for long, Komeiji Koishi. Now why would you even block an user that has an username with her real name? Plus, she's an B-crat. And just because you're own wiki only have 2 users (none at that moment), you need to highlight the message you wrote? Peggy and Plazma, both only have one user in their wiki, and they still contribute nicely.
If MM is back, trace the wiki I contributed, and become an admin then block me, then it wouldn't work, BELIEVE ME.Loading editor

Remember you demoted Papl because of swearing? Well, we need to demote MM for the same reason too, he blocked a user by swearing there. He blocked and wrote the reason "Stupid f***er a** ho"- is this ever a BLOCK REASON? I know, he founded the wiki, but it doesn't mean that he will behave like that! The user he blocked did only ONE edit, and I think that edit was actually useful.
I don't want a user to be blocked without a reason here too. And remember I wanted to have a meeting? Acually, I wanted to talk about Minecraft. He is already doing some things that are not making any sense at all. He made some stupid blocks, deletions and protections that me and Bdj fixed later. I was afraid he would not be qualified enough, this is why I have a request. If you demote him and then, think that we are enough, then it's alright. If you want to make a poll again, then, please, check the user's contribs, status on other wikis and communication (threads, blogs and comment) VERY WELL. Then add users you feel trustworthy enough.Loading editor

Is it a promise? Because when it comes to promising, he could just go back to being rude, He threatened to delete this Wikia which is impossible and Bdj. I don't think he is truly read to be unblocked yet.Loading editor
I agree with Hearts x3 aka I agree 3 times.Loading editor
Which is why I deferred to you AH for the final decision. As you were the one who set up the block, I thought it would be best for you to decide if he could return sooner or not. To be honest, up until I told him that his site-wide block was going to end soon, he was still hostile (and I have the emails to prove it). Once I told him that his timeout was going to end, he started "being nice."Loading editor
But he is still a bit selfish, ask Arnav (aka Garney)!Loading editor
I agree with AH as well.Loading editor
Yes. He fully said that (IN CAPITALS) and he says he will not do it again.Loading editor
Shouldn't Daniel apologize to the very people he has hurt the most first, especially Bdj, to begin redeeming himself?Loading editor
In my honest opinion, although he is now unlocked wikia-wide, I feel that the block that was set here should stand. He's caused a lot of trouble here, apologized for his behavior, asked for multiple chances, and then returned to his old ways.
Even during his month-long timeout, he still acted as if he was unjustly banned by the same people who he requested block me, and was trying to get a group together not only to try to take this wikia down (which is impossible), but if you ever saw his profile on any wiki's he was on, he called himself my "worst nightmare."
Even after people he tried to recruit called him immature for trying to "get even" with me (he actually thought of calling the cops for my "internet crimes"), I tried to reach out to him, one adult to another (he says he's 18-19). I was thinking/hoping that his behavior was all an online act and that he's really a stand-up guy. Unfortunately, I found that he was even more immature away from the Internet than he is on it.
It was only after I told him that his block with ducksoup was only for a month, he began being a bit more civilized. And now that he's back, he's trying to make amends.
Whether he decides to apologize to me sincerely or not is moot. He should stay blocked here for as long as AH indicated (a year). She is free, however, to change her mind. So let her decide his fate. Whatever she decides is fine for me.Loading editor
That makes sense. I definitely noticed that he refers to himself as your "worst nightmare." Daniel definitely has some serious issues.
I will definitely go with whatever AH chooses too.Loading editor
Yeah, me too...
But, lemme tell you all that he will still be selfish. He again irritated Garney about the PNC that... duh... check this: http://papa-louie-fan-contests-games.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:4164Loading editor
Alongside that, he also said that he want to kill/block Bdj610 in one of the thread in MD19's wall; http://papa-louie-fan-contests-games.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:3615 and threating MM + Daniel + Some of us. I'm not pushing offense against him (cuz' he's my friend too! :P), just some provementLoading editor

That thread is very old. -_-Loading editor
Okay guys I have been thinking about this and I have to agree with Bdj. I don't think he truly deserves to be unblocked yet. He has stirred up a bunch of trouble, I mean he threatened to take down this wikia, and bothered many other users including Bdj. And why? Because he was losing the admin nominaions(i think that's when it started) Not to mention he broke his second chance by sockpuppetry. From what Bdj has told us about him, he needs to learn to act mature. This is the internet, things you say spread like wildfire with just one click. I feel like if he apologizes even to Bdj what's the chance everything will spiral out of control again? I think his block should remain but we should shorten the amount of time he will be blocked.Loading editor
Agreed. How about... half?Loading editor

NO. Do we block someone for a year just to change it to half year later?Loading editor

Okay I'm solving this. :) Thanks for informing.
And please note that the more you will want to be an admin, the longer it will take for you to be one. Don't ask for being an admin continuously and rather contribute as a USER here.

I will adjust the block to restrict new and unregistered users.
The block has been lifted. The only reason why it was placed was because a lot of people were putting in speculation about Joy being Ninjoy. That information can NOT be placed into the article unless it has been confirmed by Flipline Studios.Loading editor

Oh yes, I forgot to say that I will not be as active as you people may expect because of school. I will just log in, check the changes, reply to the notifications and get up. If there is nothing to edit or nothing to reply, I will not do any contribution.Loading editor

There are some Penny and Mitch episodes of GoAnimate where they are siblings, Big Pauly is the father, Scooter is the mother, "Mrs."Quinn is the teacher and many more facts about them that are actually not true. I've noticed that many users are adding GoAnimate Info on the main sections and thus the pages are getting vandalised. First of all, GoAnimate information cannot be taken as fanfiction since Penny and Mitch movies really exist (you can search on YouTube) and many peole may come to out website for information about those movie thingies. So I guess... we can create a different section for GoAnimate info only (where all the details about their GoAnimate character will be) and ask all the users "PLEASE DO NOT ADD MOVIE INFO IN THE TEMPLATES"
I would like to have a meeting next weekend with you and others again. I also have another subject to talk about.Loading editor
- View all 5 replies
Realistically, we can't. This is not GoAnimate's wikia, it's a Flipline Studio's wikia. If people want to go onto GoAnimate's wikia and enter information about the Penny and Mitch episodes, they're welcome to it.
As Flipline and GoAnimate are two different worlds entirely, it is best to keep them separate and not have the GoAnimate information put on here.Loading editor
Uh okay.Loading editor
Btw I wanted to have a meeting on some other topic... when should we have?
(Please on weekend cuz if not on a weekend I can talk for an hour only and that much time is too few. Luckily, the week when we had our admin meeting was full of political strikes, for which all the schools were closed and I had very few homeworks. But now, my days are normal=VERY STRESSFUL.)Loading editor
Okay but Saturday or sunday? because I have to check.Loading editor

A fine gauge triangle shawl in two sizes (petite/tall), inspired by the motifs seen on printed bandanas. In fact, the smaller size may be put to use taming hair while boating, bike riding, or cruising with the top down. This easy-to-knit piece is comprised of simple eyelet motifs with wrong side rows entirely worked in purl—worked from neck to hem, it makes excellent knitting for spectator sports, the beach, or a first-time lace shawl project.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and drape.
The pattern for this design is exclusive to members of the Knitspot Passion 2014 club for a period of four (4) months; it will become available for general release on 11/17/14.
sample shown is knit in Ecobutterfly Fifo Blend Pakucho Organic Cotton Lace, currently available in our online yarn shop

It seems like it was so long ago when we were talking about Colby Rasmus as a future fantasy stud. It's now been two disappointing seasons so what do we make of him? He was a top prospect who once had a season in Double-A where he hit .275/.381/.551 with 29 homers and 18 steals, and in his 2010 sophomore campaign in the Majors he put up a .276/.361/.498 slash with 23 homers and 12 steals. Well, in his other three MLB seasons, Rasmus has combined to hit .232 with 53 HR and 12 SB. The biggest difference between his successful seasons and his unsuccessful ones is his BABIP. In 2010, he posted a career high .354 BABIP, while the other three years it has averaged .269.

There are all kinds of suspense thrillers, some with Lon Chaney and some with Jimmy Stewart and some with Vincent Price. But they all follow one rule that can't be broken: When the outcome arrives, It's got to be a surprise. It has to be perfectly logical in terms of the rest of the movie, but it also has to be totally unexpected.
It can also be nauseating ("Psycho" (1960)), terrifying ("Rear Window"), funny ("Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein"), socially significant ("Lord of the Flies") or a put-on ("The Raven"). But if you can guess what's going to happen, then the movie's a disappointment.
Some of the best thrillers let you think you've figured them out, and then glide right past the obvious solution with only a wink to let you know how wrong you were. I kept hoping that would be the case with "Games," but it wasn't. It turned out exactly the way I guessed it would. Nuts. Sure, there are two or three reversals along the way. People appear to be one thing, and turn out to be another thing, and then turn out to be the first thing after all. You expect that. But the basic gimmick (which I wouldn't dream of giving away) is a disappointment.
Other than that, "Games" Is a fairly good film. It tells the story of a very rich young couple (James Caan and Katharine Ross) who plays games. They have pinball machines In their dining room, a shooting gallery, slot machines, a lot of pop art and a magic show for friends. Anything to pass the time. One day a cosmetics saleswoman (Simone Signoret) comes to visit, becomes ill and is invited to stay for a few weeks. Then the games start getting deadly, or, as the ads always say, please don't reveal the shocking ending.
Miss Signoret, whose star billing is apparently intended to remind us of "Diabolique" (1955), is not especially good this time. She has aged and put on weight, and that would be OK if she did some acting and had some good lines, but she doesn't. She sort of haunts the film, a ghostly reminder of the greatness of "Diabolique."
Caan and Miss Ross, on the other hand, are given more three-dimensional roles and fill them nicely. Caan, who played John Wayne's sidekick in "El Dorado," is one of the rare young male actors of ability in Hollywood today. When you stop to think about it, how many Hollywood actors under 30 are there who can appear on the same screen with Duke Wayne and not look transparent? Miss Ross, whose duties include most of the hands-shielding-eyes scenes with dialog like "No, no, not that!" shields her eyes and reads the lines without disaster. She even seems frightened, which is more than the audience is able to say. Or maybe I'm wrong, and I figured out "Games" with a lucky guess. If you don't find yourself getting ahead of the plot, I guess it could be a pretty suspenseful movie. But don't think too hard.

U.S.: Mainstream Gardening Media Group Identifies 'Smoke Your Garden' As Next Big ShiftSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 11/19/2014 - 20:04
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
In yet another sign of the epochal changes in public perception towards marijuana, the mainstream Garden Media Group, headquartered in Pennsylvania, has identified "Smoke Your Garden" as the next big garden industry shift.
"With an increasing number of states decriminalizing marijuana, more people will begin growing their own and need seeds, plants and products," Samantha Arcieri of the Garden Media Group told Hemp News on Wednesday. "We've concluded that all products associated with the cultivation and growing of marijuana could be the next big ticket items for independent garden centers across the county."
"Garden Centers can capitalize on new laws by carrying products that help people cultivate these plants and can become leaders in the industry," the 2015 Garden Trends Report reads.
"New business opportunities range from tech companies that track seed-to-sale operations to real estate agents who find space for growers," according to the report. "Garden centers can capitalize on new laws by carrying grow lights and hydroponic supplies, plant nutrients and additives, potting soils and growing media, eco-renewable mulch, and eventually cannabis seeds and new cultivars."
"The legal marijuana market is growing at a rate poised to overtake even that of global smartphones!" according to the report.
U.S.: States, Cities and Nation's Capital To Vote On Marijuana Policy Ballot Measures TuesdaySubmitted by steveelliott on Fri, 10/31/2014 - 19:27
Alaska and Oregon could make marijuana legal for adults and regulate it like alcohol; Washington, D.C. and two of Maine's largest cities could make marijuana legal for adults; Florida could become 24th state to allow seriously ill people to access medical marijuana
States, cities, and the nation's capital will vote on marijuana policy ballot measures on Tuesday.
"From Alaska to Maine, there is a whole lot of enthusiasm for ending marijuana prohibition," said Mason Tvert, director of communications for the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). "It's not easy to overcome 80 years of prohibition and anti-marijuana propaganda. But public attitudes are clearly shifting on this issue, and it's only a matter of time before that is reflected in laws nationwide."
In Alaska and Oregon, voters are considering statewide ballot measures that would make marijuana legal for adults and regulate it similarly to alcohol. The initiatives — Ballot Measure 2 in Alaska and Measure 91 in Oregon — would remove all legal penalties for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana by adults 21 and older.
The measures would also establish a regulatory framework for licensed businesses to cultivate, process, test, and sell marijuana to adults. If the initiatives are approved, Alaska and Oregon would be the third and fourth states to end marijuana prohibition.
Maine: 3 York Selectmen Prevent Constituents From Having Say On Marijuana PolicySubmitted by steveelliott on Fri, 10/10/2014 - 17:07
Citizens for a Safer Maine on Friday announced it will not appeal a judge's decision to allow the York Board of Selectmen to prevent a vote on a ballot measure that would make marijuana legal for adults.
"We're confident an appeal would be successful, but at this point we cannot afford to continue playing this game with the selectmen," said David Boyer, Maine political director for the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), which supported the measure. "We know there is support for ending marijuana prohibition in York, and we're going to focus our resources on giving them a chance to vote on it in 2016 with a statewide ballot initiative.
"It's unfortunate that three out of the five selectmen have needlessly and very likely illegally prevented their constituents from voting on this measure," Boyer said. "It's a disservice to the voters who elected them, and they'll have to live with that."
Citizens for a Safer Maine initially submitted more than 200 signatures of registered York voters to place a measure in front of the York Board of Selectmen in July. The board voted 3-2 against putting the measure on the ballot and, based on local initiative rules, provided the group with 30 days to collect an additional 641 signatures.
Citizens for a Safer Maine submitted nearly 1,000 signatures in August 27, but the Board of Selectmen again voted 3-2 against placing the measure on the ballot. In September, Superior Court Judge Paul Fritzche did not grant an injunction requested by the group to place the initiative on the November ballot.
Texas: New Marijuana Offender Program Begins In HoustonSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 10/07/2014 - 01:14
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Law enforcement officials in the most populous county in Texas on Monday started a new program giving nonviolent first time offenders caught with small amounts of marijuana a chance to avoid a criminal conviction.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office, Houston Police and the Harris County District Attorney's Office is offering a new initiative called the "First Chance Intervention Program," D.A. Devon Anderson announced on Wednesday, reports KFOR-TV.
"Our goal is to keep these individuals from entering the revolving door of the criminal justice system," Anderson said. "This program is not for everyone. We are targeting people we believe are self-correcting, those who will be scared straight."
"I think it, overall, will improve people's lives," Anderson said.
Under the new program, first-time marijuana offenders with no prior criminal history who are caught with up to two ounces of marijuana can avoid being charged if they successfully complete eight hours of community service or an eight-hour class.
"Better education, as to where it can lead them, is a whole lot better than putting them in the federal pen, prison systems, where they become hardened, repeat offenders," said Charlotte Farmer.
"Too often, we see young people, with the promise of an incredible future in front of them, make mistakes that then begin a spiral downwards," said Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia.
Texas: Dallas County To Experiment With Not Arresting People Caught With WeedSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 10/06/2014 - 22:42
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
People caught with small amounts of marijuana in Dallas may soon be able to avoid going to jail.
County criminal justice officials will pilot a cite-and-release program early next year allowing those caught with less than two ounces of marijuana, a Class B misdmeanor, avoid a trip to jail, reports Matthew Watkins at The Dallas Morning News.
If applied countywide, the change in enforcement policy could result in hundreds fewer arrests each month. The goal, according to officials, is to reduce jail crowding and free up police resources.
"This is about not toying up officers and bringing them back out onto the street," said Ron Stretcher, director of criminal justice for Dallas County.
A Texas law enacted back in 2007 makes the ticket approach possible. The measure, which received little attention when it passed, has been largely ignored since.
The the idea has gained support in recent years, and not just from marijuana advocates. Some conservatives have touted it as a way to save law enforcement money. It costs about $63 a day to house an inmate in the Dallas County Jail.
But the measure is getting some predictable resistance from law enforcement. Dallas Police Association President Ron Pinkston said he'd rather see the Legislature address changes in marijuana laws at the state level; police officers should enforce the laws that are on the books, he said.
Pennsylvania: Philadelphia Mayor Signs Marijuana Decriminalization Bill Into LawSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 10/01/2014 - 18:55
Measure replaces criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana with a civil fine, similar to a traffic ticket
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter on Wednesday signed a bill into law that replaces criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana with a civil fine, similar to a traffic ticket.
After stalling for much of the summer, the mayor agreed to sign a compromise bill approved on September 18 by the Philadelphia City Council. The new ordinance will take effect on October 20.
The initial version of the bill approved by the council on June 19 makes possession of up to one ounce of marijuana a civil offense punishable by a $25 fine. Following negotiations between Mayor Nutter and members of the council, the bill was amended to include a $100 fine for public consumption.
Current Philadelphia law requires police officers to make custodial arrests when they encounter people in possession of any amount of marijuana, and possession of up to one ounce of marijuana is punishable by up to 90 days in jail, a $200 fine, and compulsory participation in a drug treatment program. Under current Pennsylvania state law, possession of up to 30 grams of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
Maryland: Marijuana Decriminalization Bill To Take Effect WednesdaySubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 09/30/2014 - 17:23
Criminal penalties for simple marijuana possession will be replaced with a civil fine similar to a traffic ticket
Legislation adopted this year to remove criminal penalties for marijuana possession in Maryland will go into effect on Wednesday, October 1.
Maryland joins 17 other states and the District of Columbia that have decriminalized or legalized marijuana possession. In addition, Missouri passed a similar bill this year, which will make it the 19th state to do so when it goes into effect.
Senate Bill 364 makes possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana a civil offense punishable by a fine of up to $100 for a first offense, up to $250 for a second offense, and up to $500 for subsequent offenses. Third-time offenders and individuals under 21 years of age will be required to undergo a clinical assessment for substance abuse disorder and a drug education program.
"Decriminalization will free up law enforcement officials' time and allow them to focus on more pressing issues than marijuana possession," said Major Neill Franklin (Ret.), executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) and a 34-year veteran of the Maryland State Police.
"It will address some inequalities in our justice system, but, until we fully legalize and regulate marijuana, sales will continue to be conducted by criminals in an underground market," Franklin said. "Until that happens, we are not going to see the public safety benefits that are possible in a post-prohibition world."
U.S.: Cannabis Expert Urges Voters To Look At 3 Points of Proposed Marijuana LawsSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 09/24/2014 - 16:13
3 Points for Voters to Consider When Reviewing Proposed Marijuana Laws
Cannabis Industry Expert Looks at Pros & Cons
Voters in seven states, one U.S. territory, and at least 17 cities and counties across the nation will face a marijuana initiative when they go to the polls in November. For some, the question is easy: They're either for some level of legalizing marijuana or against it.
But for others, the issue is not so cut and dried. Decriminalizing marijuana can be good for the country – and it can be potentially dangerous, says Wall Street commodities expert Steve Janjic, CEO of Amercanex (www.amercanex.com), an electronic marketplace exchange for the cannabis industry.
"I'm a part of the industry, but that doesn't mean I'm in favor of every measure to legalize pot," Janjic says. "We need to proceed with care and thoughtful consideration of possible consequences, intended and unintended, of the decisions we make.
"We have the opportunity to fix some problems through decriminalization, but we don't want to end up with even bigger problems down the road," Janjic said.
The November initiatives range from legalizing recreational marijuana sales and use for adults in Oregon and Alaska to permitting it for medical purposes in Florida and Guam, to decriminalizing possession of small amounts in cities and counties in Maine, Michigan and New Mexico. Californians will decide whether to downgrade possession to a misdemeanor.
Pennsylvania: Philly Becoming America's Largest City To Decriminalize MarijuanaSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 09/10/2014 - 17:13
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Mayor Michael Nutter and City Councilman James Kenney have reached a compromise on a bill which will make Philadelphia the largest city in America to decriminalize marijuana.
People caught with fewer than 30 grams of marijuana, just over an ounce, would only be issued a citation and fined $25 under the plan, reports Chris Hepp at Philly.com. They would face no criminal charge or arrest.
The compromise calls for a separate offense and penalty for public use of cannabis. Those caught using marijuana in public would be charged with a noncriminal summary offense, and would face a $100 fine or up to nine hours of community service, according to Kenney.
The compromise ends a conflict between Councilman Kenney and Mayor Nutter which began following the Philadelphia City Council's 13-to-3 vote in June to pass Kenney's marijuana decrim bill.
Kenney argued that cannabis arrests are disproportionately affecting African Americans. Philly police arrested 4,336 people for marijuana possession last year, 83 percent of them black.
But Mayor Nutter called the legislation "simplistic" and declined to immediately sign it. This week, with the deadline for his signature approaching, Kenney and and mayor began meeting to work out a compromise.
Global Leaders Call For Ending Criminalization of Drug Use and PossessionSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 09/08/2014 - 20:53
The Global Commission on Drug Policy on Tuesday will release Taking Control: Pathways to Drug Policies that Work, a new, groundbreaking report at a press conference in New York City.
The event will be live-streamed and speakers include former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo, former Colombian President César Gaviria, former Swiss President Ruth Dreifuss, Richard Branson and others.
The Commissioners will then meet with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and UN Deputy Secretary General Jan Eliasson in the afternoon following the press conference.
The report reflects the evolution in the thinking of the Commissioners, who reiterate their demands for decriminalization, alternatives to incarceration, and greater emphasis on public health approaches and now also call for permitting the legal regulation of psychoactive substances. The Commission is the most distinguished group of high-level leaders to ever call for such far-reaching changes.
In 2011, the Commission's initial report broke new ground in both advancing and globalizing the debate over drug prohibition and its alternatives. Saying the time had come to "break the taboo," it condemned the Drug War as a failure and recommended major reforms of the global drug prohibition regime.
New Mexico: Albuquerque Mayor Vetoes Marijuana Decrim BillSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 09/03/2014 - 17:19
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
The mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico's biggest city, on Friday vetoed a measure that would have allowed voters to decide whether to decriminalize marijuana possession in much the same way that the Santa Fe City Council did in the state's capital city two days earlier.
Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said in a video message posted on YouTube that he vetoed the bill because marijuana is illegal, and decriminalizing it would pose conflicts with state and local laws, reports Russell Contreras of the Associated Press.
"The original form of this bill actually has several measures that I really want to see the voters of Albuquerque weigh in on," Mayor Berry claimed. "Unfortunately, at the last minute there were measures added that I, in good conscience, cannot sign, including flying in the face of federal and state law."
Berry claimed he didn't want to get Albuquerque into a legal fight. Decrim supporters criticized the mayor for his decision.
"We're disappointed to see the mayor turn away from the opportunity to let city voters have a [say in] how our city deals with crime and justice issues," said Pat Davis of ProgressNow New Mexico, one of the organizations that sponsored the campaigns to reduce marijuana penalties in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
New Mexico: Santa Fe City Council Decriminalizes Marijuana PossessionSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 08/28/2014 - 18:39

The Santa Fe City Council, in a surprise move on Wednesday night, decriminalized marijuana possession. The city of about 70,000 residents became the first in New Mexico to decriminalize pot.
The resolution, passed on a 5-4 vote, changes the city's penalties for cannabis possession from a criminal misdemeanor punishable by a $50-$100 fine and up to 15 days in jail, to a civil infraction and a $25 fine, reports Joey Peters at the Santa Fe Reporter.
It also instructs Santa Fe's police force to treat possession of small amounts of marijuana as the lowest law enforcement priority. The decrim measure applies to possession cases involving one ounce or less, and also decriminalizes marijuana paraphernalia.
The vote came after pressure from Drug Policy Action and ProgressNow NM to get decriminalization on the November general election ballot.
"Obviously from a policy perspective, this is incredible," said Emily Kaltenbach, New Mexico director of Drug Policy Action, affiliated with Drug Policy Alliance of New Mexico. "The people have won tonight no matter what."
Kaltenbach added, though, that the Reducing Marijuana Penalties initiative was formed with the aim of getting decrim on the ballot so that voters could have a say on the issue. Petitioners submitted more than 11,000 signatures from residents to qualify for November's ballot.
New Mexico: Marijuana Decriminalization Initiative Officially Certified In Santa FeSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 08/18/2014 - 16:49
First Time in New Mexico History People will Vote on Marijuana Reform
The Santa Fe City Clerk on Monday announced the Reducing Marijuana Penalties Campaign submitted enough valid signatures to qualify for the city's citizen initiative process setting the stage to give voters in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a vote on reducing marijuana penalties.
The Reducing Marijuana Penalties Campaign, headed by Drug Policy Action and ProgressNow NM, submitted close to 11,000 signatures in 52 days, more than twice the number needed to qualify for the ballot. The initiative now goes before the City Council where the governing body has two options, vote for the ordinance change outright or send the initiative to the people for a vote.
Not only will this be the first time in history that New Mexico's voters will cast their ballots on reforming marijuana laws, it is the first time that the people of Santa Fe brought forth an issue via the City's citizen initiative process. The Santa Fe city charter permits voters to petition their government for changes to city ordinances, including those relating to marijuana.
Maine: South Portland Council To Consider Marijuana Legalization MeasureSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 08/18/2014 - 16:17
The South Portland City Council will consider a citizen-initiated measure at its meeting Monday night that would make private marijuana possession legal for adults. The council can enact the proposed law or place it on the ballot.
Citizens for a Safer Maine submitted more than 1,500 signatures to place the measure in front of the council. Just 959 valid signatures of registered city voters were required.
Citizens for a Safer Maine qualified a similar measure for the ballot in Lewiston, and it is in the process of collecting the final signatures needed to place one on the ballot in York.
The initiative would make it legal for adults 21 years of age and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana. It would remain illegal to consume or display marijuana in public.
The measure also includes a statement in support of regulating and taxing marijuana like alcohol at the state level.
"This is a common-sense proposal," said Marijuana Policy Project Maine political director David Boyer. "Adults who are of legal age to use alcohol should not be punished simply for consuming a far less harmful substance.
"We hope the council members will agree law enforcement officials' time and resources would be better spent addressing serious crimes," Boyer said.
WHAT: South Portland City Council hearing on a citizen-initiated measure that would make private marijuana possession legal for adults

Kansas: Wichita Marijuana Supporters Not Giving Up, Despite Falling 47 Signatures ShortSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 08/13/2014 - 00:31
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Despite falling 47 signatures short of getting a marijuana decriminalization petition on the ballot in Wichita, Kansas, supporters aren't giving up.
Interim City Attorney Sharon Dickgrafe on Tuesday told the Wichita City Council that it could not legally put the issue on the ballot as a ballot petition, but the council then voted for city staff to work with the marijuana petitioners to address the language of a ballot petition that could be carried for a signature election, probably for a vote next spring when city elections are held, reports Kelsey Ryan at The Wichita Eagle.
But supporters also plan to fight the Wichita elections office on the signature count done last week during the primaries, and still hold the goal to meet the county deadline later this month to get the issue on the November ballot.
Initiative leader Esau Freeman said there have been concerns over two missing pages of signatures that were turned over to the county, with 2,928 valid voter signatures needed to put the issue on the ballot.
At least one of the missing pages contained the signature of his wife, Freeman said. He said petition gatherers weren't allowed to observe the counting, which was done by the Sedgwick County elections office.
"[Kansas Secretary of State] Kris Kobach says we have open and fair elections, but I think the first case of voter fraud has been perpetrated by the Sedgwick County election office," Freeman said.

November Seahawk of the Week -
Q&A with
Dr. Leslie Hossfeld '83
Leslie has many ties to our Seahawk Family. Along with graduating from UNCW, she also created the Public Sociology program at the university and is now the Department Chair of Sociology and Criminology. She is a steward of our community and through her passion developed the WHA-UNCW Community Partnership based at Hillcrest Community, where the Public Sociology program resides, and an economic development initiative, Feast Down East, which provides access to healthy, affordable food for everyone and supports limited-resource farmers. Feast Down East and Campus Dining are key partners of this month's Hawks for Hunger campaign where they are providing a meal for each gift UNCW receives.
We had a chance to catch up with Leslie at the new sustainability wall in Wag to ask a few questions.
What do you want people to remember about Feast Down East?
It's about economic development. It's about tackling poverty in our very high poverty counties outside of New Hanover County and our high poverty neighborhoods within New Hanover County. You go over any bridge outside of Wilmington and into rural North Carolina and the history of that is deep, persistent poverty. We also have a rich agricultural history. We're really focusing on that sector to build the farm business of our small-scale family farmers that are the history of this region. And in doing that, we're making sure there is a multiplier affect that ripples through the economy, ensuring those dollars are growing and staying in the region.
What do you love most about UNCW?Truthfully, the grounds are physically stunning. I love walking it. The physical attributes are incredible and complimented by the way the new architecture keeps the same design. The physical place makes for a very happy place, so people are happy when they are here.
Where is your favorite place on campus?
I'll come here on the weekends and walk. I'll walk around the lake. The birdlife is incredible. After meetings I will go over there and sit. I guess that's where I gravitate.
What is your favorite aspect about being a faculty member at your alma mater?
Working with students is fantastic because they've been involved in every aspect of this project (Feast Down East). They are doing interviews, data analysis, planning programs; they are running programs. One of my grad students created the food sovereignty program at Rankin Terrace. It gives me a lot of pride working with students who just jump into community work and thrive, and, make a difference.
Alumni Relations Welcomes New Leadership
The Division for University Advancement is excited to announce that Lindsay LeRoy has been named Director of Alumni Relations. This selection comes as result of a national search. In April 2014, Lindsay began serving as the Interim Director of Alumni Relations and her work has given Lindsay further perspective and experience necessary to permanently fulfil the duties of director. Lindsay had served as the Assistant Director of Alumni Relations for Chapter Management since 2008. While in that role, she focused on building and managing our Alumni Association's regional chapter program. Under her leadership, this program has encouraged record numbers of alumni to become engaged in our events and mission, as well as developed lasting relationships.
Prior to joining UNCW, Lindsay worked at the University of Maryland, Smith School of Business, Office of Career Management focusing on Employee Development. In this role, she worked closely with alumni hiring officials to develop career recruiting relationships.
Lindsay earned her B.A. in Advertising/Public Relations from The Pennsylvania State University. She is a member of the Penn State Alumni Association and Ski Team. She and her husband Keith have a three-year-old daughter, Violet.
We would like to thank the search committee for their hard work during this process: Claire Stanley, Chair, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Donor Relations; Dr. Terry Curran, Associate Provost; Stefanie Mancuso, Assistant Director of Arts & Programs; Bethany Thurston '10, Assistant Director of Development for Athletics; and Alumni Association Board Members William Vaughan '92 and Wallace West '63.
October Seahawk of the Week-
Q&A with Elaine Andrews '10M
Elaine graduated in 2010 with a Master of Science degree in accountancy from the Cameron School of Business. As a member of the UNCW Society, she not only donates to the university, but also generously volunteers her time as a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors. Most recently, she served as chair of the Events Committee for Family and Alumni Weekend. She and her husband John are the owners of South Beach Grill.
How do you stay involved with UNCW?
I stay involved by participating in the many things UNCW has to offer including attending sporting events, Alumni Weekend events, movies and even speaking at Business Week. I am involved as a Member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors and the Cameron School of Business Steering Committee.
Why do you enjoy being involved?
I love the feeling I get when I'm at an event and talking with current students who are so excited about their school.
What do you love most about UNCW?
There are so many things I love about UNCW. The students, the faculty, the growing campus and great education. I also love the way the community embraces the school.
How did UNCW prepare you for your career?
I already had a career when I attended UNCW, but my Master's Degree has helped to broaden my knowledge in Accountancy and open more doors of opportunity for me.
What is your favorite place in Wilmington?
My boat on the Intracoastal Waterway and South Beach Grill (OK, I'm a little biased)
Why do you support UNCW by making annual gifts?
I support UNCW for many reasons. First, as a community member I feel UNCW is a great asset to our community and should be supported. As a graduate, I feel it is important to give back to my school so others can benefit from the great education. I've also seen the great progress that has been made on campus and in the student offerings. It gives me a sense of pride to know that in some way I have helped UNCW achieve this. Lastly, I have had wonderful students calling me each year asking for my help with a donation. They are always excited to receive a donation, even as little as $25 has been met with great cheerfulness. I enjoy having conversations with these students and talking to them about their experience at UNCW. I know they work hard and their enthusiasm for UNCW shows.
Why should fellow alumni support UNCW?
It's because of past support that UNCW has been able to provide us with such a great education and experience. Fellow alumni should support UNCW to help support future students in the same way.
Anything else you would like to share?
I recently purchased a UNCW t-shirt at Dick's Sporting Goods and when I went to checkout, the cashier smiled and said "Go Seahawks!" And then we talked about our favorite Seahawk shirts. That just shows how UNCW is a big part of our community.
continuing a legacy - Kiwanis Celebrates 50 Years of Scholarships
For the last 50 years, the Wilmington Kiwanis Club has graciously provided scholarships to UNCW students. The Club estimates it has given more than $194,000 in scholarship funds since 1964 and impacted the lives of more than 80 students. For the 2014-15 academic year, the Kiwanis Club has awarded 2014 George H. Chadwick, Jr. Memorial Scholarships to four students from the New Hanover County School System. The amount awarded is more than $12,100.
The university was honored to host the Kiwanis Club for their meeting and annual scholarship awards luncheon in May. Past scholarship recipients and UNCW alumni, Rebecca Blackmore '75, Patrick Boykin '94, Janie McAuliffe '07 and Savannah Lee Valade '14 spoke at the event about how the scholarship funding positively impacted their educational experience at UNCW and ultimately their careers.
Through fund raising efforts such as the Annual Pancake Day, the Wilmington Kiwanis Club contributes over $25,000 per year to organizations that support our youth. Since 1964 (50 yrs), the Club has been awarding scholarships to New Hanover County high school seniors to attend UNCW.
The George H. Chadwick, Jr. Memorial Scholarships are named after George H. Chadwick, Jr. who was a native of Wilmington who graduated in the Class of 1938 from New Hanover High School and attended Bob Jones College in Cleveland, Tenn. for one year before joining the Army Air Force. During World War II, he served as a pilot in the Air Force with rank of captain. Upon his return to civilian life in Wilmington, Mr. Chadwick became a very active member in our community serving as chairman of several prominent Boards. He founded and was President of George Chadwick Insurance Agency.
Mr. Chadwick joined the Wilmington Kiwanis Club in 1955. He served as the Club President in 1967. He loved young people and wanted to do whatever was possible to help students receive their education. He realized and understood the importance of education and never wanted finances to keep a young man or woman from getting a college degree. In 1978, when Mr. Chadwick died at the early age of 57 after an extended illness, he was serving as chairman of the Club's scholarship committee. The Club honored his service by naming the Kiwanis scholarships in his memory.
A special thanks to Randy Peebles, Wilmington Kiwanis Club, for the information contributed to this article. Additional Information: Offical Kiwanis Press Release
inspiring our students - Holt Oil Company, CStore, Raises Funds for Scholarship
Hannah Holt, UNCW Foundation Board Member and owner of CStore Holt Oil Company, presents a check to UNCW to support the Holt Oil Company Fellowship in Public Administration, which is a merit scholarship to benefit students in the program who demonstrate academic ability and special achievement. The scholarship is named in memory of Hannah's father, Charles B.C. Holt who was a nature lover and advocate for land conservation who served in the North Carolina House of Representatives. This summer, Holt Oil Company, CStore, sponsored its 12th annual golf tournament to benefit the North Caroline Coastal Land Trust (NCCLT) and this scholarship at UNCW. With 20 teams participating, the event raised $14,000 for the NCCLT and $5,000 for this scholarship.
making a difference - Newly Named Commercial Realty Room
UNCW is honored to recognize J. Robert "Bob" Fullerton, John F. Hinrichs and Charles A. "Chad" Paul III for their generous contributions to UNCW. In appreciation for their support, the Commercial Realty Room was named and dedicated on Monday, May 19, 2014. The space, located in room #1023 in the Herbert and Sylvia Fisher Student Center, is utilized often by students, faculty, staff and community members.
The Commercial Realty Room Endowment was created by Bob, John and Chad in recognition of their love for UNCW and the Wilmington community, their lifelong friendship with the Fisher family, and in memory of Chad's father, Charles A. "Chuck" Paul, Jr. The fund will be used to provide support for the Division of Student Affairs.
This generous endowment will assist UNCW in continuing to provide stellar student programing and help Student Affairs achieve its vision to help students create experiences for life.
"The generous gifts from Bob, John and Chad will undoubtedly help us continue to provide such experiences," explains Dean of Students Mike Walker. "The earnings from this endowment will give us the ability to supplement programs and support our mission to facilitate the academic and personal success of UNCW students and engage them in opportunities, experiences, and services designed to promote lifelong learning."
Chad's dedication to UNCW is also demonstrated through his leadership and service on the Foundation Board Executive Committee, Cameron School of Business Entrepreneurship Advisory Board as well as serving as chairman of the Cameron School of Business Executive Advisory Board. Chad is also a mentor to students through the Cameron Executive Network.
This endowment is truly making a difference on the UNCW campus!

About Us
Retired August 01,1973 Died October 27,1983
General John Dale Ryan is the seventh chief of staff of the U. S. Air Force, Washington, D.C. As chief of staff of the U. S. Air Force, General Ryan serves in a dual capacity. He is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff which, as a body, acts as the principal military adviser to the president, the National Security Council, and the secretary of defense. In his other capacity, he is responsible to the secretary of the Air Force for managing the vast human and materiel resources of the world's most powerful aerospace force.
The general was born in Cherokee, Iowa, in 1915. Following graduation from Cherokee Junior College in 1934, he entered the United States Military Academy from which he graduated in 1938. He next attended flying school at Randolph and Kelly fields, Texas, and received his pilot wings in 1939.
General Ryan remained at Kelly Field as a flight instructor for approximately two years. From January 1942, until August 1943, he was director of training at Midland Army Air Field, Texas, and was instrumental in establishing an advanced bombardier training school. His next assignment was as operations officer for the Second Air Force at Colorado Springs, Colo. In February 1944, he was transferred to Italy where he commanded the 2d Bombardment Group and later became operations officer for the 5th Bombardment Wing, Fifteenth Air Force.
He returned to the United States in April 1945, and became deputy air base commander, Midland Army Air Field, Texas. In September 1945, he was assigned to the Air Training Command at Fort Worth and Randolph Field, Texas, where he remained until April 1946, when he assumed duties with the 58th Bombardment Wing and participated in the Bikini Atoll atomic weapons tests.
From September 1946, to July 1948, he was assistant chief of staff for pilots of the 58th Bombardment Wing and then Eighth Air Force director of operations. For the next three years, he commanded the 509th Bombardment Wing at Walker Air Force Base, N.M. Between July 1951 and June 1956, General Ryan commanded the 97th Bombardment Wing and the 810th Air Division, both at Biggs Air Force Base, Texas, and the 19th Air Division at Carswell Air Force Base, Texas.
General Ryan became director of materiel for the Strategic Air Command in June 1956, and four years later assumed command of SAC's Sixteenth Air Force in Spain. In July 1961, he was named commander of the Second Air Force at Barksdale Air Force Base, La.
In August 1963, General Ryan was assigned to the Pentagon as inspector general for the U.S. Air Force. One year later he was named vice commander in chief of Strategic Air Command and in December 1964, became commander in chief. He was assigned as commander in chief, Pacific Air Forces, in February 1967.
The general was appointed vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force in August 1968, and chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force in August 1969.
His military decorations and awards include the Distinguished Service Medal (Air Force) with three oak leaf clusters; Distinguished Service Medal (Army); Silver Star with oak leaf cluster; Legion of Merit; Distinguished Flying Cross with oak leaf cluster; Air Medal with five oak leaf clusters; Purple Heart; French Croix de Guerre with Palm; Chinese Order of the Cloud and Banner, 1st Class with Grand Cordon, and 2d Class; Korean National Security Merit First Class; the Vietnamese National Order of Vietnam/Commander and Gallantry Cross with Palm; Grand Cross, Royal Order of Phoenix (Greece); and Grand Cross of Aeronautical Merit (Spain).
In July 1971, General Ryan became the first foreign dignitary to receive the Golden Wings of the Philippine air force. Additional foreign decorations are Chilean Military Star of the Armed Forces, Class of Great Star for Military Merit; French Legion of Honor, Degree of Commander; and the Brazilian Order of Aeronautical Merit, Degree of Grand Official.
In December 1962, he joined a select group of athletes, who have been successful in their professional careers since their college football days, when he was chosen a member of the Sports Illustrated Silver Anniversary All-American team.
He received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Creighton University, Omaha, Neb., on May 30, 1966; and an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Akron, Ohio, on June 5, 1967.
