On July 10 — aka 7/10, 7:10, or 710 — "Happy 710" trended on Twitter when users began discussing the new, informal annual marijuana-related holiday en masse. The holiday was created to recognize the popularity of "dabs," the slang term for high-THC concentrates and oils, according to High Times. So where does the name 710 come from? It's not like 4/20, which has a few different rumored explanations, including one involving a police radio code. Instead, it's something much more simple: "710" upside down spells "OIL." Thus, a number of marijuana aficionados are saying that July 10 should be honored as "Dab Day," the day each year when THC-laden oils and concentrates should get their due while getting their users stoned. Pot oil extraction is the process by which concentrated cannabis oil is removed from marijuana. This is usually done by forcing butane through the cannabis in a pressurized tube, a police official told
In a landmark decision to serve the underprivileged of the East Bay, the Berkeley City Council UNANIMOUSLY voted last week to provide small amounts of free medical marijuana to low-income and homeless patients. Whoa. According to the new ordinance, dispensaries in the area must give away weed equal to at least 2 percent of their sales to the appropriate demographic—defined as half the area's median annual income: $32,000 or less for an individual and $46,000 for a family of four. "It's an equity issue," council member Darryl Moore explained to Reuters. "We want to ensure that those who are in need have access to the medication necessary to treat their condition." Plus, the freebies can't be schwag weed. The law includes a clause that the "medical cannabis provided under this section shall be the same quality on average as marijuana dispensed to other members." But don't think you can just walk
DENVER — Seeking to move marijuana businesses away from cash-only operations, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed legislation Friday that tries to establish the world's first financial system for the newly legal industry in Colorado. + caption The legislation seeks to form a network of uninsured cooperatives designed to give pot businesses a way to access basic banking services like checking. But approval from the Federal Reserve remains a hurdle. Out of fear of violating federal law, banks don't work with marijuana businesses. That has led to concerns that the burgeoning marijuana industry could be a target for robberies. Mike Elliott, executive director of the Marijuana Industry Group, said a member of his organization was robbed a few days ago. The cash-only model has become stressful for businesses and their employees, he said. "We don't a need a vault. What we need is checking," he said. "We're looking for a way to
When marijuana was illegal across the entire United States, the pot business in Mexico was fantastically profitable. It brought a ton of American dollars into the country for nearly five decades. Now that growing cannabis is legal in parts of the United States, however – and consumers can now simply visit a local dispensary to purchase home-grown marijuana – the impact on Mexico has been devastating. Before, a farmer working for the cartels in Mexico used to be able to command $100 a kilo for quality marijuana. Today, the price has crashed to $25 a kilo. It's simple supply and demand at work. But legalization isn't just affecting farmers. It's taking a massive bite out of crime – both in Mexico, and in the United States. The No. 1 Crime-Fighting Strategy Since states like Colorado and Washington are seeing the positive effects of legalization, we can only expect other states to follow
Legislators earlier this year passed a bill allowing the cultivation of industrial hemp for research, but Nebraska's nickname as the Cornhusker State is safe for the time being, as state officials work on regulations that will allow the fibrous plant to make the leap from weed to crop. The Nebraska Department of Agriculture — which LB1001 tasked with adopting rules and regulations for growing hemp — is researching the plant and programs in other states, but it won't have a framework in time for planting this spring. "There will be no hemp research projects initiated under a program this year," Ag Department spokeswoman Christin Kamm said in an email. Kamm did not respond to questions about a timeline for getting rules in place or when the first crop might be planted. Nebraska's legislation, passed with overwhelming support on a 39-2 vote, will allow the University of Nebraska and the Ag Department to
For many years he would go to bed early listening to what ants whispered in his ear. Sometimes he would chat with a frog or two, maybe share a hunk of bread with some rats. José Mujica, aka Pépé, is a survivor from a world he himself wiped off the map. A former leader of the Marxist Tupamaros, the country's main guerrilla group, he spent 13 years in prison under the military dictatorship in Uruguay, which held power from 1973 to 1985. Then he turned over a new leaf and devoted his efforts to restoring democracy. In November 2009 he was elected president, polling 53% of the vote. "Locked up, I almost went mad," he says. "Now I'm a prisoner of my own freedom to think and decide as I wish. I cultivate that freedom and fight for it. I may make mistakes, some huge, but one of my few virtues is I
A short drive from the "green rush" of Denver's legal marijuana boom, national forest police have been staking out a suspected cannabis plantation hidden deep in the woods that is anything but legitimate. Using aerial reconnaissance and tracking devices attached to resupply trucks, federal special agents were trying to locate the latest gang of armed drug traffickers responsible for more than 100,000 plants discovered growing in national forests since Colorado first began its limited commercial decriminalisation experiment five years ago. The full legalisation of retail marijuana suppliers and growers, which came into effect in January, might have been expected to mark the end of the matter as far as Colorado's law enforcement authorities were concerned. But the persistence of unregulated grow sites on federal land is just one of many legal tensions exacerbated by the decision of states like Colorado and Washington to jump so far ahead of US national
Children suffering from epilepsy would be eligible to use a form of medical marijuana under a measure that gained bipartisan approval in the Illinois House this week. Legislation allowing minors with epilepsy to use cannabidiol, a cannabis derivative,passed 98-18 on Wednesday with support from several Republican lawmakers who had previously opposed the law, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Support for legalizing cannabidiol, or CBD oil, is spreading in the U.S. — even in traditionally conservative states. Florida and South Carolina are considering legislation on CBD oil, already legal for patients with some conditions in Colorado, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, the clock is winding down on the Illinois General Assembly's spring session, with little more than a week left for the state Senate to approve the bill. "It's crucial that the Illinois Senate passes the measure quickly," Nicole Gross, one of the Illinois parents of children who have epilepsy who lobbied for the bill, told The
Adults don't know about it, but kids do. We learned about it from kids on the street. It's called "dab." "'Dab' is marijuana cooked down into a highly concentrated paste," said Det. Larry McKinnon of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. 'Dab', also know as BHO or Butane Hash Oil, was popular in the 70s, but it's making a comeback — and more potent than ever. "It's big out West. We haven't had a problem with it here yet, but we are anticipating it. Whatever starts out there, eventually comes here," said McKinnon. Children can easily get information about it. All they need to do is push a button on their smartphones. "Everyone has heard of Instagram. Just enter #DAB and immediately, more than 400,000 pictures come up," said McKinnon. Part of the danger of 'dab' is in its production. Highly volatile chemicals are used, and amatuer scientists are blowing themselves
Uruguay is the first nation in the world that's embarked on the project of legalized and regulated marijuana. In many respects, Uruguay's legal marijuana market is more tightly controlled than those emerging in Colorado and Washington. The government, for example, will be a primary distributor of the product, and all users will have to register with it. But Uruguay's government has had a moment of clarity, at least, on the counterproductivity of taxes. Via Reuters: Uruguay will exempt marijuana production and sales from taxes in a bid to ensure prices remain low enough to undercut competition from black market pot smuggled in from Paraguay, according to consultants advising the government on a legalization plan… "The principal objective is not tax collection. Everything has to be geared toward undercutting the black market," said Felix Abadi, a contractor who is developing Uruguay's marijuana tax structure. "So we have to make sure the price is low."
A new iOS game called "Weed Firm" has been pulled out from the App Store for containing controversial content, reports App Advice. The game enjoyed top ranking on the Top Free iPhone Apps chart on Tuesday just before being removed from the App Store. Industry observers are now wondering how the game, with its controversial content, was approved by Apple in the first place. Apple had recently booted out games with similar content, such as "Go Kane!" when it first appeared on the App Store. According toPocket Gamer, Apple claimed the game broke one of its rules. "Apps must comply with all legal requirements in any location where they are made available to users. It is the developer's obligation to understand and conform to all local laws," Apple's policy read. The game "Weed Firm" lets players grow and trade cannabis products as a virtual business. The player is put in charge of
Marijuana growers operating legally in Colorado and Washington state took another hit from the federal government on Tuesday when the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced that pot growers are (still) not allowed to use federal irrigation waters. Since 1902, the bureau has been charged with maintaining dams, power plants and canals in the 17 "western states" — from North Dakota, Nebraska and Texas to Washington, Oregon and California. As such, the agency also provides irrigation for millions of acres of agriculture in Washington and Colorado, the two states that recently made recreational marijuana legal for adults. AP Mike Corral cuts branches from a marijuana plant as he prepares a harvest in Davenport, Calif. But the bureau wants weed growers to know that, at least at the federal level, the times they aren't a-changing. So, on Tuesday it reclarified a law that has been in place for decades.
Prohibitionists were outraged by President Obama's recent observation that marijuana is safer than alcohol—not because it is not true but because it contradicts the central myth underlying public support for the war on drugs. According to that myth, certain psychoactive substances are so dangerous that they cannot be tolerated, and the government has scientifically identified them. In reality, the distinctions drawn by our drug laws are arbitrary, and marijuana is the clearest illustration of that fact. "As has been well documented," Obama toldThe New Yorker's David Remnick in an interview published on Sunday, "I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol." When Remnick pressed him to say whether marijuana is
Marijuana-friendly real estate agents and other enterprising businesspeople looking to make a bundle from Colorado's weed industry.
Real estate agent Rona Hanson walks around a suburban home west of Denver that was recently put on the market by another realtor, liking what she sees. The 3,000-square-foot midcentury brick bungalow is in fine shape, with a picturesque horse farm across the street and front-porch views of the snow-topped Colorado foothills. But what most excites Hanson about it, why she's eager to show it to her clients, is the 50-square-foot bedroom in the far corner of the basement, a bland space with small windows near the ceiling and a basic attached bathroom. Not your typical selling point for a house, but to Hanson, it's perfect—a perfect grow room for a dozen recreational marijuana plants, the maximum Colorado residents are now allowed to cultivate per household. The room offers high enough ceilings to accommodate grow lights, has easy access to water and drainage via the bathroom, and the small windows
Jan 23 (Reuters) – U.S. treasury and law enforcement agencies will soon issue regulations opening banking services to state-sanctioned marijuana businesses even though cannabis remains classified an illegal narcotic under federal law, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Thursday. Holder said the new rules would address problems faced by newly licensed recreational pot retailers in Colorado, and medical marijuana dispensaries in other states, in operating on a cash-only basis, without access to banking services or credit. Proprietors of state-licensed marijuana distributors in Colorado and elsewhere have complained of having to purchase inventory, pay employees and conduct sales entirely in cash, requiring elaborate and expensive security measures and putting them at a high risk of robbery. It also makes accounting for state sales tax-collection purposes difficult. "You don't want just huge amounts of cash in these places," Holder told the audience at the University of Virginia. "They want to be able
After recently legalising pot, officials now must pick the kind, who will grow it, the price and much more. Montevideo, Uruguay – Uruguay, about to become the first country in the world where the state will fully regulate production, sale and distribution of marijuana, will spend the next few months selecting a good quality strain of the crop that can be sold at a price similar to current illegal prices. Uruguayan President José Mujica signed law 19.172 on the regulation of marijuana on December 23. But it won't go into effect until April, 120 days after it was approved by Congress and once the government has established specific regulations for the new legislation. Since the 1970s, consumption and possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use have not been penalised in this South American country of 3.3 million people sandwiched between Argentina and Brazil. But cultivation, sale and distribution of the
Advocates of marijuana legalization, emboldened by successes with ballot questions in Colorado and Washington state, are laying the groundwork for such a battle in Massachusetts in the next presidential election year. "In 2016, Massachusetts will find itself in the crosshairs for cannabis reform," said Allen St. Pierre, the executive director of NORML, a national group that favors the legalization of marijuana. Massachusetts voters passed measures that decriminalized possession of small amounts of the drug in 2008 and allowed its use for medical purposes in 2012 — both with more than 63 percent support. Buoyed by such results, advocates have launched a similar effort to both get a question calling for the drug's legalization for adults on the 2016 ballot and to raise enough money for victory. But some critics and lawmakers caution that passage is far from guaranteed. Despite its liberal reputation, Massachusetts has a strong traditional strain that will
Since the start of legal recreational marijuana sales, Denver police have cited about one person per day for public pot smoking, the city's police chief said Monday. Chief Robert White told members of a City Council committee that officers issued nine citations for public marijuana consumption between Jan. 1 and Saturday. White said there have also been seven burglaries of marijuana businesses in that time, but only one of those occurred at a recreational marijuana store. The burglary numbers, White said, are in line with what the city has previously seen in the medical marijuana industry. "Looking at the number of burglaries that we have in general and the number of burglaries we have of dispensaries, that number is probably relatively consistent," White said. The enforcement numbers are part of what Denver's new marijuana czar said Monday was a fairly problem-free start to the nation's first legal sales of marijuana from stores
As more US states move to consider marijuana legalization, the country's most popular sports league is indicating it may one day allow its players to light up. Speaking to ESPN, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell suggested the sport's ban on medical marijuana could be lifted in the future if the practice has already been legalized in a player's state. "I don't know what's going to develop as far as the next opportunity for medicine to evolve and to help either deal with pain or help deal with injuries, but we will continue to support the evolution of medicine,"he said. Although multiple teams play in states where medical marijuana is legal – not to mention that Colorado and Washington have legalized the drug outright – use of the substance remains prohibited under the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. The 10-year agreement isn't set to expire until 2021, leaving no opportunity for
Patients, Advocates, Elected Officials Praise Cuomo and Urge Him to Back Comprehensive Medical Marijuana Legislation ALBANY, NY — New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will use his State of the State address Wednesday to announce his support for medical marijuana for patients in New York. After years of opposing medical marijuana, the turnaround by Gov. Cuomo is making national headlines. As an immediate step, the Governor will bypass the Legislature – where comprehensive legislation has stalled for years in the Senate – and take executive action to revive a 1980 law that allows the state to establish a limited medical marijuana research program. The 1980 law established the Antonio G. Olivieri Controlled Substance Therapeutic Research Program, which ran briefly in New York until being shut down in the early 1990s. Cuomo administration officials told the New York Times that the program would involve distributing medical marijuana through 20 hospitals statewide, and the Department of Health

Even sans the film, the Tenacious D-orchestrated soundtrack for its full-length feature The Pick of Destiny is a seriously marvelous three-act musical comedy. The album is like a spoofed-out Behind the Music, unraveling the fictitious story of folk-metal musicians Jables (aka Jack Black) and Kage (aka Kyle Gass), track by track. On "History," Black opens with a bold summation: "This is a song called the history of Tenacious D, and it's not just a list of bullshit things we've done in the past, but it's a chronicling of our rise to power!" Full of bathroom humor, valley-girl speak and not-so-surprising guest spots from Dave Grohl, Meat Loaf and the almighty Ronnie James Dio, Pick is everything quirky and smart about Tenacious D. There's even a sentimental number, "Dude (I Totally Miss You)," that cleverly bites on the guilty pleasure known as the hair-metal ballad. Dude, Tenacious D truly is the greatest band on earth.

USA, 1966 (MIFF 1966, Programme 17)
Director: George Moorse
The story of two enemies, business rivals, and perhaps conspirators - Zero and Steinmetz, and of Vivian, Zero's secretary and constant companion. Time, as well as moving in the ordinary sense, moves backward and forward in history and into projections of the future so that Zero and Steinmetz have no concrete identity except that which is revealed by their constant opposition. In the beginning they are partners but they split up, each taking half of everything. This does not work, and they are forced to negotiate; it is these negotiations which form the subject of the film.
This film is almost indescribable. It is like no other film ever made, and yet like every other film ever made. It is a parody, a spoof, a wild and endless chase for some unknown object, or message, or ideal, or what have you. Its hero is the richest and most powerful man in the world, who seems to be in conflict with everyone - even those supposedly working on the same side. There is a suspicion of surrealist James Bond at work, though perhaps the concept is closer to that of Mr. Arkadin than anything else. The film seems set to become one of the most controversial films of the decade.

Where to Find Chic Winter Boots
Q: Can winter boots be stylish?
A: I live outside of New York City, on top of a very long, very steep hill. One day last winter, there was an unexpected snowstorm. I had a black-tie event for work that night; there was no not going. I knew the taxi I'd be taking home would no way make it up said hill. I would be walking, in the snow, in the dark, after midnight, in a ball gown, wobbling on thin sparkly, spindly-heeled sandals. I threw myself at the mercy of the fashion department; did they have running shoes, or even slippers? Anything better than barefoot? Julia Kalachnikoff, our accessories director, rolled her eyes. "We're Lucky—we have plenty of shoes, Jean!"
I ended up with these Sorels, which are not only the warmest, most comfortable boots ever on the face of the earth (they feel like running shoes except filled with fluffy faux fur), but they look so fantastic that anyone who sees me in them demands to know where I got them. They are not cheap, but they last forever and they balance perfectly, look-wise, between practical and glamorous. Like there's a tiny bit of who-me-I'm-always-at-après-ski-in-Aspen, but it's so subtle you could also wear them ice-fishing in Michigan and no one would call you out. Striding (not slipping) up the icy hill in the dark that night, holding my heels in one hand and my billowing skirt in the other, I felt very Doctor Zhivago. Nobody saw me, but still. A purchase you'll never, ever regret!

text: ObamaCare's Medicaid claims are bogus, too by John Hayward 10 Jan 2014 View Discussion Share This: In response to Obamacare Enrollment Mix Looking Worse Than Expected: You're right on about how the demographic mix of ObamaCare enrollments would be trumpeted unto the heavens if it was good, rather than being guarded more closely than anything Edward Snowden stole. The notion that this data is simply unavailable is patently ludicrous. It could be compiled by hand in a matter of days, no matter how badly Obama's $600 million computer system is broken. For that matter, not a single insurance provider in the land sells policies without amassing considerable demographic information on the buyers. There are still private companies in the mix here, after all - ObamaCare is a partial nationalization of the industry, not a Venezuela-style smash-and-grab, at least not yet. The private companies still use the same data systems they've perfected over the course of years to process enrollees. If the Administration wanted to release demographic totals, HHS Secretary Sebelius could ask all the providers to generate reports for her on Thursday, and the data would be totaled and ready for media release no later than Friday morning. We don't know the demographic mix because it's being hidden from us, deliberately, and it's hidden from us because it's really, really bad. Our supposedly information-hungry Pulitzer-seeking media is remarkably incurious about it. Another clue that it's bad news: the insurance companies went absolutely bonkers when Republicans started talking about erasing the bailout provisions of the Affordable Care Act. If you think it's a cynical joke to call it the "Affordable" Care Act now, just wait until you find out what your share of the insurance industry bailout will be. The industry wouldn't be so nervous about losing these provisions if they were looking at a nice, healthy mix of Young Invincibles in their enrollment reports. One more reason to suspect both overall ObamaCare enrollment and the demographic mix is bad news: the Administration has been caught lying about how many Medicaid enrollments ObamaCare is generating. In the early days of this clusterfark, they used to quietly lump the Medicaid referrals in with ObamaCare applicants, to goose the numbers out of stop-the-presses disaster territory. They got caught, so eventually they stopped mixing the two together... and then they became strangely eager to boast of how many ObamaCare applicants were actually getting shuffled off to the Medicaid welfare system. There's not really anything "strange" about this, because the Administration can see those polls showing mounting energy for ObamaCare repeal. They need Medicaid beneficiaries as hostages. Repeal ObamaCare and you'll throw four million poor folks out into the street to die! During the rougher stretches of bad ACA headlines, Obama apologists pretty much gave up about discussing ObamaCare itself, and became entirely focused on touting the number of new Medicaid sign-ups. Only... it turns out there aren't four million of them. Not even close. Not even a tenth that many. Even critics tended to accept the number because the Medicaid system has been up and running for decades; it seemed unlikely that even Team Obama would try misrepresenting those numbers. But they did. As Sean Trende noted at RealClearPolitics, ObamaCare propagandists have been counting people who would have enrolled in Medicaid anyway with new referrals from the bugtastic ObamaCare exchanges, presenting the combined total as a tidal wave rolling in from ObamaCare. Only about half of the Medicaid enrollments since ObamaCare launch come from states that actually participated in the Medicaid expansion. It takes some doing to separate ObamaCare-related enrollments from the normal sign-up rates for the remaining two million, but even being very generous to the Administration - to the point of literally doubling the most precise estimate he could calculate, just to be sporting - Trende only came up with about 380,000 new Medicaid enrollees thus far. That's not exactly an overwhelming number, especially since ObamaCare apologists just spent a few months telling us that the 6 million people who lost coverage due to Obama's Big Lie are a statistically insignificant pocketful of anecdotes. Every single number this Administration provides with reference to ObamaCare must be presumed fraudulent, until hard data is provided to back it up, and the White House wastebaskets are checked for the hard data they didn't want us to see.

A SOLAR farm could power 2,000 homes if major renewable energy plans are given the green light.
Proposals for land in Overton, currently home to a motocross track, come a week after residents in Isycoed and Holt were consulted about a proposed solar farm near Wrexham Industrial Estate which would power 4,000 homes.
Leading solar energy generator Lightsource Renewable Energy is inviting village residents to discuss plans to install a solar farm at Trench Farm on Red Hall Lane, Overton-on Dee.
Initial plans for the 7.5 Megawatt Peak (MWp) farm will be displayed at a Community Information evening on Thursday from 5.30pm to 8pm at Overton Village Hall in Pen-y-Llan Street.
Residents will have an opportunity to meet with the Lightsource team at the event to help shape the proposals before they are submitted to Wrexham Council.
The initial designs have already been sent to residents in the hope that they will provide ideas as the plans evolve, ensuring the project best fits with the activities and aspirations of the wider community.
Conor McGuigan, planning and development director at Lightsource, said: "Solar farms have a very small installation footprint and a typical development takes up less than 30 per cent of the allocated area – so there are plenty of opportunities for people to share ideas for putting the rest to good use as well.
"We understand people may also have questions or concerns they would like to raise and we would welcome their input.
"It's a great chance for the community to communicate any ideas so we can evolve the plans for Trench Farm with the help of their local knowledge."
The design and layout of the solar farm will allow all of the fields to maintain their agricultural use for grazing small livestock. The land currently houses a motocross track – which would make way for a flock of sheep and an array of solar panels which can provide enough power for 2,000 homes.
All other activities – a caravan site, airstrip and a fishing pond – around the site would be unaffected and continue as normal.
The passive nature of solar farms mean a number of biodiversity and wildlife enhancements could be implemented on site.
Lightsource is working with eco consultants to establish the best enhancements for Trench Farm.
Mr McGuigan added: "Part of the farm site has previously been used for a motocross track but this will be restored to flat grazing land.
"Our plans will make as little impact on the surroundings as possible and all other activities on and around the land can continue as before.
"The site will remain in operation for at least 25 years, so we want to work with the local community to ensure that we are the best neighbours that we can be.
"It is still early days for the proposals, which is why we are keen for local businesses, residents and wildlife enthusiasts to help shape these plans."

Brian Scalabrine Says Mark Jackson Didn't Challenge His Players Enough
Last season, Michael Jordan clone Brian Scalabrine famously spent the second half of the season coaching Golden State's D-League team, the Santa Cruz Warriors, after being demoted from a lead assistant by then-coach Mark Jackson. Last week, Scals went on Doug Gottlieb's radio show for CBS Sports and talked about his difference of opinion when it came to the coaching philosophy of Jackson, who was terminated after leading the Dubs to the playoffs in two consecutive seasons including a No. 6 seed last year.

Two men were arrested Tuesday on accusations of burglary and arson, which resulted in the destruction of an Inglis bar the day before.
Jordan Michael Cooper, 21, and Travis Crabb, 32, were charged with arson, grand theft, burglary and two counts of arson causing the injury to firefighters after authorities connected the two men to the suspicious fire Monday morning at Rivals Bar off of West Levy County Road 40, Inglis.
City continues pushing for Holiday Inn Express
By ASHLEY THORNTON
Staff Writer
"It's moving forward," Fanning Springs Mayor Cheryl Nekola said of the anticipated Holiday Inn project, shortly after learning that Hudson Foods would no longer be bringing in a Dairy Queen to accompany it.
One Levy County teacher is speaking up in saying that the school board is not following the Florida code of ethics for education.
"A culture of intimidation and fear of retaliation exists in Levy County schools," said Chiefland Middle High School teacher Gerald "Jerry" Lawrence during the public comment section of a school board meeting on Tuesday morning. Lawrence teaches U.S. History to eighth grade students.
The 23rd Annual Pie Auction for Student Government was held Thursday, Nov. 20, in the Chiefland Middle High School cafeteria. This is the largest SGA fund raiser and it helps to fund projects throughout the school year.
In the spring, state agencies will begin a study that officials hope will spark more insight into water and fertilizer use in the Suwannee Basin.
The project, which will take place over three years on a 300-acre farm east of Live Oak, will use monitors, soil probes and meters to measure water absorption and nutrient loading rates.
The Suwannee River Water Management District, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Department of Agriculture and the University of Florida are working together on the study, which is projected to cost $588,000.

When Levy County Commissioner Lilly Rooks, of Rosewood, was last in office, the Florida Department of Transportation District 2 Office folks were explaining how signed contracts to rebuild three crucial bridges in Cedar Key did not mean they would be rebuilt.
Chiefland Middle High School Principal Matt McLelland, second from left, shows off the $2,780 check that represents the proceeds of a Drive 4UR School promotion sponsored by White Ford and Ford Motor Company.
Students, from left to right, Christian Reyes, Payton Levy and J.C. Kennedy represent groups like the Student Government Association that will share in the cash for their student projects.
Adults over the age of 18 who test drove a new Ford vehicle in August earned a $20 per drive donation for the students.
Chiefland Mayor Teal Pomeroy and City Manager Mary Ellzey have been interviewed by an investigator for State Attorney William "Bill" Cervone's office for a possible Sunshine Law violation, but Cervone's spokesman said it is just a review of a complaint.
"We made an inquiry into the allegations that were levied," said Darry Lloyd, deputy chief investigator and spokesman for Cervone. "We were reviewing it, so its not much more than that."
A recent accident at the intersection of N.W. 23rd Ave. and N. Young Blvd. in Chiefland has city commissioners wanting changes made.
"I hope we can get something done with that," Vice Mayor Betty Walker said at Monday night's commission meeting after the subject was brought up by Chiefland Police Chief Robert Douglas. "It's needed."
Eight people were involved in the accident, according to Douglas. All, including two children, were airlifted to the hospital.
Visitors at Manatee Springs State Park Saturday, Nov. 15, spy on the park's namesake, returning to the area to take advantage of the spring's relatively warm water.
The manatee migration began earlier in the fall, perhaps, a sign the mammels knew the weather was turning colder.
Boaters are being warned to be on the lookout for the slow moving animals on the Suwannee River.

Michelin ratings aren't just for fine dining establishments these days. There's also a separate category called Bib Gourmand. Defined as "inspectors' favorites for good value," it ranks places that offer a couple of courses, wine and dessert for $40 or less.
Among this year's honorees are several well-known establishments, including Hopleaf in Andersonville and Au Cheval in the West Loop. But there are also 21 newcomers. Among them: Autre Monde in Berwyn, Kama Indian Bistro in La Grange, Mercat a la Planxa in the South Loop, and TAC Quick Thai Kitchen in the Lakeview/Wrigleyville area.

Los Angeles, Cal...
I made this jeans in denim 100% cotton textile made in the U.S. Since I don't have button whole sawing machine; I made the button whole by hand; It came up pretty good. In addition, I put my logo on the back packets; I did it with single needle machine.
I would like to share some tips with all of you. Some fabrics fade the color after been washed. First, put fabric in a plastic storage. Second, fill the storage with cold water. Third, add salt in the water and mix it all three things together. Leave there for a night. Fourth, hang it somewhere on the sun and let it dry for another day. After that , remove the salt with cold water; let it dry again, now cut it saw it. The color wont fade that fast, cheap fabric will still fade it.

It was a musical twist of fate when keyboardist Ben Schurr struck a deer with his van on a recent visit to Washington, D.C., causing him to shack up with some local musicians for a few days. Schurr filled the time by collaborating with composer/singer John Di Lascio, drummer Adam Orlando, and bassist Rick Irby, an experience that birthed the noise pop experiment Johnny Fantastic. The band is quickly gaining notice with a raucous sound that has been described as Freddy Mercury meets Muse, but seeing is believing.

FILE: Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong To Enter Rehab
Updated: October 25, 2012 6:17AM
According to sources close to Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong's trip to rehab has been long overdue. The singer's publicist confirmed on Sunday that Armstrong is getting the help he needs after the Green Day frontman had a total meltdown on stage two days earlier at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
It all started when Armstrong learned producers had sliced 20 minutes out of the Green Day set — reportedly to make room for other acts, including Usher.
Armstrong went bananas with an expletive-laced rant that included a steady stream of the f-word. He was in mid-song, when he noticed a "one-minute" warning being flashed at him from a TelePrompter monitor.
"You're going to give me one minute? One f---ing minute? I've been around since f---ing 19 f---ing 80 f---ing 8, and you're going to give me one f---ing minute?
"I'm not f---ing Justin Bieber, you motherf---ers."
(Actually, Green Day's history is even a bit longer than an obviously outraged Armstrong indicated. The band formed in 1987 but changed its name to Green Day in 1989.)
Armstrong then stormed off stage smashing his guitar as he exited.
The band later issued a statement apologizing for the incident.
I understand that Armstrong's Green Day team — including bandmates Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool — were all part of an intervention to get Armstrong to agree to go to rehab to deal with his abuse of various substances, including both prescription drugs and alcohol.
"Billie Joe has been a loose cannon for a long time," said a Green Day insider. "It's long past time when he should be getting some serious help."
About three weeks ago, Armstrong was rushed to a hospital, forcing the cancellation of a concert in Italy. At the time, the singer insisted he had lost his voice. It now appears that may have been caused by a tough night of hard-partying.
JUST A HOOT: Charlize Theron and "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet are said to be more amused than upset about a published report they are a new item — illustrated by a photo of the couple hamming it up for the camera at a formal party, shot six months ago.
Along with firmly denying any romantic relationshiop, Stonestreet humorously took to Twitter to have some fun with it all. "I wish people would stop spreading rumors Charlize Theron and I are dating," the portly actor tweeted. "It's starting to make Halle Berry jealous."
SEEN ON THE SCENE: In town for more "American Idol" auditions, show executive producer Nigel Lythgoe lunched at RL. … Former "Bachelorette" and host of LXTV's "1st Look" on WMAQ-Channel 5 Ali Fedotowsky celebrated her birthday Wednesday with a small posse of pals at Nellcote in the West Loop. … Mayor Rahm Emanuel was spied lunching at Sepia and also dropped by the "Vernissage" opening gala for the EXPO Chicago art show at Navy Pier — seen chatting with Museum of Contemporary Art director Madeline Grynsztjen and EXPO Chicago head honcho Tony Garman. … Joe's Stone Crab continues to be a big pro-jock magnet, as proved Friday as ex-slugger and current Cardinals hitting coach Mark McGwire and St. Louis players Jake Westbrook, Adam Wainwright and Matt Holliday slipped in for dinner, as did (separately) the Bulls' Nazr Mohammed. … Fans of Cubs pitcher Jeff Beliveau noted him dining with his family at Hub 51. … Among the Saturday party crowd at Studio Paris was Bulls forward Luol Deng.

With Mardi Gras upon us, I wanted to turn this classic dish into a hearty (and healthy) soup fit for a Mardi Gras party. Though Louisiana understandably is ground zero for Mardi Gras, people everywhere tend to get in the spirit and there's no reason for us not to join in.
All it took to transform the standard red beans and rice into soup was the addition of celery, onion and green bell peppers (often called the "the Holy Trinity" of New Orleans cuisine), a little Creole seasoning, some chicken stock and several ounces of andouille sausage.
I modeled my Creole seasoning on the one associated with Commander's Palace (a landmark New Orleans restaurant) and the two most famous chefs to emerge from it -- Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse.
At the core of the repertoires of both of these superstars is a special spice blend that includes powdered onion and garlic. I'm not much of a fan of powdered anything, but I make an exception for this seasoning mix. In this case, it turns a good soup into a great soup.
And let's not forget the noble supporting role played by andouille sausage. Brought to Louisiana in the mid-1700s by the state's French settlers, andouille is a coarsely ground pork sausage that's been spiced and smoked.
Mardi Gras Red Beans and Rice Soup with Andouille Sausage
Start to finish: 50 minutes
Servings: 8
2 tablespoons olive oil
9 ounces (3 links) turkey or chicken andouille sausage, diced into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups medium chopped yellow onion (about 1 large)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning (purchased or use the recipe below)
Two 15 1/2 -ounce cans low-sodium red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chopped celery (about 4 medium stalks)
1 1/2 cups chopped green or red bell pepper (about 1 large)
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 Turkish bay leaf
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (1/2 cup uncooked produces 1 1/2 cups cooked)
In a large saucepan over medium, heat the oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl.
Add the onion to the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and Creole seasoning and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
While the onion and garlic are cooking, mash 1 cup of the kidney beans with a potato masher or fork, then add them to the saucepan. Add the celery, pepper, remaining whole beans, chicken broth and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the reserved sausage and the cooked rice. Cook until heated through. Discard the bay leaf before serving.
Creole Seasoning
Start to finish: 5 minutes
Makes about 1/3 cup
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon hot paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
In a small bowl combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Draining a Water Heater Tank
If your water heater tank fails, you will need to drain the tank before replacing it with a new one. You may also need to drain your water heater tank as part of annual maintenance, especially if your home is supplied with hard, mineral-rich water. Before draining a water tank, make sure the electric or gas supply is turned off. Turn off the water supply that feeds the tank, disconnect the supply line to the tank, disconnect the out-feed line that goes into the house, and leave your tank in the off position for 24 hours to cool down the water. Then you simply connect a garden hose to the drain fitting, run the hose to a drainage area outside, and open the valve.
Watch this video to see how draining a water heater tank is done. If you aren't comfortable draining your own water heater tank, or if you'd rather have a professional do it, call Albert Nahman Plumbing & Heating. We are Berkley's trusted plumbing and heating professionals. Call us today at (510) 843-6904 to schedule plumbing service for your home.

How are you taking pain pills if you haven't been to a doctor? That's a red flag and self medication is a violation of many medical forums...the moderators will get right on that
Your body will tell you if you don't need a doctor, but taking pain meds without a doctor may give you a false sense of comfort. Be careful.
That being said, at your age ( Us old guys don't play basketball) it's likely a soft tissue injury. Ice alternating with heat and rest along with some NSAIDS should find you back slam dunking your way through your days soon.
Warning, if you don't feel better in a reasonable time and you think you may have a nerve/spine issue, you should see an MD before trying any alternative treatment. It is dangerous to your health to leave a back injury improperly cured. It can lay in wait and years later as you reach for a coffee cup on the top shelf you scream out in pain. Many people equate such triggering events as the cause of their injury, but it was the twist or turn years prior that never got put back in alignment correctly.
I think (as in my opinion is) if you do need to see a doctor I would look for a physiatrist as he has a deep understanding of your soft tissue and your vertebrae to find the right rehab.
Again only my opinion, if you really felt pretty good, but still had a nagging knot in your muscle perhaps a massage therapist (a good one) could help pin point it for you?
Good luck and good thoughts,

I'm familiar with the protocol, our own bones are used as a base material to maximize our body accepting it so it can grow and fuse to existing bone. The screws and rods are like a cabinet makers clamps, once everything is set up the clamps can be removed. This is true of most of our back hardware. I had the hardware removed that once held nine vertebrae together. Screws and Harrington rods that once held me together eventually caused there own pain. The surgery getting them removed was almost as bad as getting them in, sans the brain, rib cage and lung injury. Once healed it was worth it though. The screws from the upper attachment points were poking into muscle and causing horrific pain issues.
Our bodies don't happen to come with spare bones though. This leads to the argument for stem cell research. Theoretically they would be able to grow bone that was a perfect DNA match to your body.
I'm all for such research as long as they don't kill human life to create it. For over a decade and a half I've read of the new quantum advances in pain medicine and DNA level medicines that could enter your body and turn selective pain gates off!
For almost 15 years I've read and been told that, "in 2-5 years there will be a whole new way of treating pain." One article in the medical equivalent to Scientific American listed all the pharmaceutical analgesics and how now matter what we label them they are all still based on thousand year old medicine born of opium and white willow bark. The biggest advancement has been to synthesize narcotics...kind of like making a fiberglass car instead of sheet metal one. In the end it's still just a car fraught with all the same problems as other cars and some new ones specific to fiberglass.
Germany allows ketamine induced comas that are said to reboot the brain often with the once locked on pain centers reset to a normal state. I'm not sure of its success rate, but there have been times I would have gladly tried it. In one of the episodes of House he actually has this procedure performed on him. I found it interesting that their storyline actually based itself in some real contemporary medicine...of course the names have been changed to protect the innocent

BECKMAN, TEXAS. Beckman (Beckmann) was near the junction of Interstate Highway 10 and Loop 1604, fourteen miles northwest of downtown San Antonio in northwestern Bexar County. The site was settled before 1900 and named for John Beckmann, artist and recluse, who spent his last years there. In the mid-1930s Beckman was a flag stop on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad. The chief industry was a limestone quarry. In 1940 the settlement had a store, a church, and a population of twenty-five. After World War II most of the residents moved away, but as late as 1984 Beckmann was still shown on maps.

Savage Love
Published: March 12, 2014
I have a slowly terminal disease, and don't have more than five or six years left. I haven't told my wife, which brings me to my problem. We had lived together for seven years when she cheated on me the first time. We worked things out, we got back together, but we continued to live separately. Then I cheated on her. We got back together again but continued living apart. After a year of therapy, we got married, but again we kept our households separate. Fast-forward one eviction and three years of living in a studio driving each other crazy, and she cheated on me again – this time in our house. I moved out instantly. A few months and a terminal diagnosis later, I don't have the will to file the divorce paperwork. We've talked a few times about trying to figure out how to fix us, but I don't know if I can ride this messed-up roller coaster anymore. On the other hand, I don't want to waste the rest of my life being a divorced fortysomething, but I still feel idiotic trying to fix our relationship. She reads your column every week, so if you publish this, I'll have to talk to her about my illness, so at least that won't be an issue. What should I do about us?
Doubting The Marital Future Again
You and the wife have a resilient connection, DTMFA. Some intangible something or other has pulled you toward each other despite infidelities. And reading between the lines, it doesn't sound like being alone or your terminal illness are the only reasons you're hesitating to file those divorce papers. It sounds to me like you love your wife, DTMFA, and it sounds like she loves you. Imperfectly. And maybe your semi-imminent death is putting those infidelities in their semi-proper perspective. I'm thinking the real reason you haven't filed those divorce papers yet is: On some level, you now recognize that your existing, loving-but-flawed marital relationship should be given more weight than the marital ideal that you've both fallen short of, i.e., a flawlessly executed monogamous commitment.
I'm sorry about your diagnosis, DTMFA, I hope your remaining years are rich, and it would be a shame if you faced them alone. Maybe if you two changed your expectations of each other – if perfect sexual exclusivity wasn't expected – you two would be less disappointed in each other. Good luck.
Are there kinky people interested in BDSM without sex? I'm an early-40s gal living in the Midwest. I'm in a decent-to-great marriage, have two kids, a good life. But my husband is not kinky, not at all. I feel like I've done all I can to get him comfortable with rough sex, power play, etc., but aside from some very reluctant spanking, hair pulling and a few humiliating (not in a good way) attempts at bondage, our sex life is almost totally vanilla. I enjoy the sex we have, but not being all of who I am sexually is making me resentful, miserable and desperate. At this point, I'm not even interested in trying to get my husband on board – it obviously makes him uncomfortable, and I think he's just been hoping my desires would go away. They have not, of course, and will not. But I can't see breaking up my marriage over this! My desires for intense physical play, D/s, role-play, etc. are only getting stronger. Is it even worth trying to find people to play with who would be OK with no sex? I think I could be happy staying monogamous if I could just get some of my needs met elsewhere. I'm going insane, but I don't know if this is a thing, and research online has not been helpful. Is there any hope?
Sincerely Longing In Midwest

FORT WAYNE – Al Stiles, a performer and entertainer who inspired Fort Wayne youth to embrace their talents and follow their dreams, died last week. He was 91.
Albert Bernard Stiles was born Aug. 13, 1922, in Florence, S.C., and was raised in Tampa, Fla. He was married to Maxine Stiles and had two sons – Reginald and Ronald.
An accomplished tap dancer and entertainer, Stiles began his career as a member of a five-person jug band that performed on the streets of downtown Tampa in the mid-1930s.
Throughout his career, Stiles starred with the likes of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, Pearl Bailey, Lionel Hampton, Clayton Peg Leg Bates and Josephine Baker.
He performed in places such as the Cotton Club, the Blue Note and the 1939 World's Fair. The Apollo Theater, where he performed five times, later honored Stiles by declaring him a living legend.
But his days on the stage came to a halt when he was called into service with the U.S. Army in 1942 and served at Baer Field in Fort Wayne.
In 1971, Stiles opened Al Stiles World's Best Shoe Shine at South Anthony Boulevard and East Wayne Street in Fort Wayne.
I was the first black person I knew in Fort Wayne with their own place, Stiles said in a 2006 interview. I didn't have a high school education, and here I was sitting in the mayor's office and rubbing elbows with all of them and I shined their shoes and they invited me to meetings to talk about what was going on in the city.
In the 1980s, Stiles founded The Talent Factory, a training center for young entertainers, next door to his shoe shining business.
For a decade, The Talent Factory offered free and low-cost instruction in theater and performing arts to Fort Wayne children, but in 1992, it was forced to close its doors for lack of money.
In a 1999 interview, Stiles said he received many calls after the closure, many telling him how good the program was for the community.
It gave kids something positive to focus on. It helped a lot of kids move on to bigger and better things, Stiles said in the interview.
Stiles died Jan. 2 in Carmel. Services will be 11 a.m. Saturday at Pilgrim Baptist Church 1331 Gay St., with calling from 4 to 7 p.m. today at Ellis Funeral Home, 1021 E. Lewis St.

(Editors Note: This letter was hand delivered to Marian Robertson, director, Manhasset Public Library, and sent to the Manhasset Press for publication.)
Hello Marian! It has been some time since our paths have crossed. In the past, sometimes contentiously but always with the best interest of the library being paramount.
In a Letter to the Editor (Manhasset Press dated Aug. 5) I documented the significant disparity between the number of vehicles in the library parking lot as compared to the number of driving age persons concurrently in the library. In that letter I suggested that you would best be in a position to expound this via a Letter to the Editor. (The Letter to the Editor format is a great way to keep the public informed).
We did not hear from you in this week's (Aug. 12). We feel that this problem should be thoroughly investigated. We hope that you will add your input.
For now I will attempt to resist drawing conclusions. However, our Manhasset public is funding a $16 million dollar library. I can not accept that freeloaders might be dominating our parking lot to the possible exclusion, at times, of library patrons (specifically as noted by the Apple Bank manager's comments on why her parking lot is on occasion full).
We look forward to hearing from you on this important matter.

My only wish is that the templates were modifiable from the backend when it comes to simple operations like header size. Also I wish there were more free templates to chose from but I'm sure that will come in time.
The support on the website seems quiet good and the communication is up to date from the moderators.

TAMPA, Fla. - Although 84 percent of teen drivers know distracted driving is dangerous, almost nine in 10 teenage drivers say they have done it anyway, according to a recent survey by AAA and Seventeen magazine.
The recent survey is featured in the September issue of Seventeen magazine. The results are based on a survey conducted in May of nearly 2,000 male and female teen drivers ages 16 – 19. Seventeen magazine and AAA set out to discover what risky behaviors teen drivers were engaging in while behind the wheel—and how they justify this dangerous behavior.
Texting while driving is among the riskiest of common driving distractions. Teen drivers are still developing safe driving skills and should limit unnecessary risks. Nonetheless, the survey showed teens who text while driving sent, on average, 23 text messages while driving in the past month. Nearly 6,000 people died in 2008 in crashes that involved a distracted or inattentive driver and more than a half million were injured, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Aware of the dangers, 73 percent of teens admit they have adjusted their radio/CD/MP3 player, 61 percent have eaten food, and 60 percent said they've talked on a cell phone while driving. Teen drivers justified their actions and said they think it's okay to engage in these distractions because: 41 percent think their action will only take a split second; 35 percent don't think they'll get hurt; 34 percent said they're used to multitasking; and 32 percent don't think anything bad will happen to them.
"Sure, it's good so many teens are aware that their distracted driving habits are not safe and endanger their lives and those of their friends, but what is not good, is the fact that so many teens drive distracted anyway," said Leticia Messam, manager, AAA Traffic Safety Programs. "Our biggest challenge is to find the right tools and messages to get them to stop driving distracted."
Even as passengers, teens worry about distracted driving, with nearly four out of 10 (38 percent) saying they have been afraid they were going to get hurt because they were the passenger of a distracted driver. More than one-third of teen drivers (36 percent) believe they have been involved in a near-crash because of their own or someone else's distracted driving.
"Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teen drivers, especially when coupled with their lack of driving experience," said Messam. "It's imperative teen drivers – like all drivers – remain focused behind the wheel at all times. AAA is pleased to partner with Seventeen to spread the anti-distracted driving message and help keep teen drivers safe." A driver who takes their eyes off of the road for two seconds doubles their risk of getting into a crash, according to AAA. On September 17, Seventeen magazine, AAA and the Department of Transportation will ask everyone to save a life and participate in the Seventeen Two-Second Turnoff Day by taking two seconds to turn off their cell phone before driving. Instead of spending two seconds to look away from the road while distracted driving, use those two seconds to turn off cell phones before getting behind the wheel. For more information on keeping teens safer on the road, visit AAAExchange.com.
