DENVER – When Tim Cullen was opening his first marijuana business four years ago, the high-school-biology-teacher-turned-pot-entrepreneur struggled to get résumés and references from job applicants.
Everyone's experience was on the black market, Cullen said. Now, he said, it's come out of the closet.
Out of the closet, down the street and around the corner. That's where the line of hopefuls stretched Thursday outside a central Denver office building that was hosting a marijuana industry job fair.
Cullen, who owns two retail marijuana shops and is a partner in a company that makes hash oil and another that makes vaporizers, was among representatives from about a dozen businesses reviewing applications.
O.penVAPE, Cullen's vaporizers company, organized the fair to meet its own growing staffing needs and help others in the industry, said company spokesman Todd Mitchem.
Voters in Colorado and Washington approved sales of marijuana for recreational use in 2012, and recreational sales began first in Colorado, in January. This week, in the world's first such accounting, the Colorado Department of Revenue reported the state made roughly $2 million in marijuana taxes in January; that is expected to grow as more retailers are licensed.
Among the employers at Thursday's job fair was a tour company looking for guides to help pot tourists navigate Colorado's newest industry.
Hemp Temps, a specialist staffing agency, and Medicine Man, a dispensary, were also hunting for candidates. Job descriptions included bud tender, sales representative and web designer.
Mitchem said the company may need a bigger venue for the next fair, which he said is already in the works.
Ian Howe, among the job seekers in line Thursday, said he was a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, and hoped to find work with a company that infuses marijuana into foods, or try his hand at growing marijuana.
Howe, 23, said he moved to Colorado just 3 1/2 weeks ago and found the state a good fit.
I've always been an outdoorsy guy, and I've always liked to smoke weed, he said.

text: Dr. Carson's four-point plan for destroying America by John Hayward Mar 17, 2013 1:22 PM PT Share This: Print Dr. Ben Carson's address to CPAC 2013 included his thoughts about how, if he were an enemy of America, he would set about destroying her. His plan had four points: 1. Create division among the people. 2. Encourage a culture of ridicule for basic moral principles. 3. Undermine the nation's financial stability with crushing government debt. 4. Weaken the morale and funding of the military. "It appears, coincidentally, that those are the very things happening right now," Carson noted ruefully, although he went on to say it would be a mistake to pin this entirely on Barack Obama, or any other individual. Those four points are very intriguing, as are the order Carson listed them in. He could write a book expanding on this; perhaps he plans to. I've long thought there's nothing more divisive than the modern liberal potion of class warfare, multiculturalism, invasive "progressive" tax system, and victim/entitlement mythology. Short of outright tribal warfare, there's nothing more divisive than telling some people they have rightful first claim on the labor and property of others. Everything the Left does is oriented toward inflating the sense of entitlement and/or helplessness on the part of the Takers, or making the Makers feel ashamed of resisting these demands. And, of course, obscuring the true identities of the Takers and Makers, who tend to blur together at right about the point where the "middle class" begins. The intense illusion that much of the government's largess is "free" is also deeply divisive, because it carries the implication that only cruelty and sadism could explain anyone's reluctance to authorize it. This is a common refrain in modern socialist politics - those who insist on fiscal sanity are portrayed as irrational at best, if not callous beasts who enjoy the suffering of the poor. It's interesting to watch liberals stubbornly refuse to concede that anything else could possibly motivate them. I can easily think of both sincere and ulterior motives for Big Government liberalism: the belief that government welfare is vital for the survival of the poor (and increasingly, the middle class) versus the simple self-interested greed of politicians who derive great power, and personal profit, from the welfare state. But you never hear the other side talk about the sincere reasons why guys like Paul Ryan are waving those doomsday financial projections around. And why are so many of them eager to pass reforms that would leave them with less power, less money to spend? (Of course, that thought occurs quite clearly to the Republican-In-Name-Only types who aren't so eager to jump on the small-government bandwagon.) The result is a bitterly divisive political environment... and that's just Step 1 on Carson's proposed doomsday agenda. Then you get into Step 2, the "culture of ridicule for basic morality" - which, I would submit, is the key component in keeping the American people from asking the questions that would disable the manufacture of division, and shut the whole diseased system down before it could proceed to the creation of those crushing national debts. The ridicule of basic morality greases the slide down into that welfare safety net - not just for poor people, but for middle-class entitlement junkies and corporate welfare millionaires. It turns self-respect into a joke, instead of a priceless treasure. It sounds like Ben Carson (and by all accounts his mother) refused to part with that treasure, under any circumstances. Step One: Create Divisions Among the People by Mar 18, 2013 11:07 AM PT Share This: Print In response to Dr. Carson's four-point plan for destroying America: Some short time before his death, Andrew Breitbart was introduced to these videos, explaining "Cultural Marxism," and he spread them around (including to me). If you don't have time for the videos the short version is this: Although Marxism predicted that capitalist nations would naturally and inevitably undergo communist revolutions, Marx was wrong about this (and much else). It became clear to many Marxists that actually only the sickliest countries were ripe for Marxism; the rich and free countries of the West were largely immunized against the Communist virus due to the success of capitalism there. Thus the Frankfurt School created a "New Marxism," a Marxism based not on stoking economic divisions in the country but on stoking cultural divisions. The goal was still the same -- undermine the state to such an extent that a revolution was inevitable -- but now the method turned to ginning up hatred and envy between different cultural cohorts along gender and racial lines. Most Marxist schools incorporate the word "critical" -- Critical Gender Studies, Critical Race Theory. It's always important to remember what Marx meant by "critique" -- a denunciation intended to bring about the war of all against all and thus his glorious, bloody revolution. War on the German state of affairs!? By all means! They are below the level of history, they are beneath any criticism, but they are still an object of criticism like the criminal who is below the level of humanity but still an object for the executioner. In the struggle against that state of affairs, criticism is no passion of the head, it is the head of passion. It is not a lancet, it is a weapon. Its object is its enemy, which it wants not to refute but to exterminate. For the spirit of that state of affairs is refuted. In itself, it is no object worthy of thought, it is an existence which is as despicable as it is despised. Criticism does not need to make things clear to itself as regards this object, for it has already settled accounts with it. It no longer assumes the quality of an end-in-itself, but only of a means. Its essential pathos is indignation, its essential work is denunciation. From Marx's introduction to a Hegel work. This all sounds very familiar to me. advertisement Breitbart Video Picks advertisement advertisement Most Popular Fox News National University of Virginia suspends fraternity activities after sex assault claim23 Nov 2014 Police say naked man crashed through ceiling, attacked elderly man at Boston airport23 Nov 2014 Police: Dad accidentally shoots adult son to death during hunting trip in New Jersey22 Nov 2014, 3:45 PM PDT Ferguson grand jury decision unlikely this weekend, sources say22 Nov 2014, 2:41 PM PDT Bighorn sheep bolts from Los Angeles Zoo, gets struck by hit-and-run driver near Griffith Park22 Nov 2014, 2:00 PM PDT advertisement Send A Tip Sign up for our newsletter

In what was scheduled to be an uneventful regular meeting of the Town of Oyster Bay Board earlier this week, it was announced that Councilman Thomas Clark was retiring after 23 years of service.
Energized by strides made over the past few years, organizers of the School-to-Career movement of Nassau County this week honored their best and brightest education and business leaders.
The Massapequa High Girls Lacrosse team on April 21 met the Braves of Syosset for the first time this season, in a match that would determine first place in Conference 1B.
Students who train under Sensei James Tresca at the Tiger Schulmann's Karate Center in Massapequa chopped, kicked and punched their way to victory at the Challenge of Champions (C.O.C.) event on Saturday, March 20 and Sunday, March 21, held at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. The three areas of competition included woodbreaking, kata, a competition that tests students on ability and preciseness of martial arts forms and kumite, a competition in which students spar against one another for two minutes.

GridIron gobbled up by Violin Memory
All-flash array startup Violin Memory has bought GridIron Systems, a startup supplying the TurboCharger SAN accelerating flash cache. Violin supplies shared 6000-series all-flash arrays to enterprises and the public sector as well as having single server PCIe-connected appliances and Fujitsu resells its array. It filed for an …
very surprised ...
I'm very surprised and see no synergy between Violin and Gridiron. Violin as a very good solution whereas Gridiron is juste another caching appliance, with the same revolutionnary approach as others ! I very much prefer Netapp one with their FlashAccel and the distributed way of caching, as closer as possible of the server!
The only interest i see is on a pure business Point of view. Gridiron could be dangerous for Violin so they could wand to stop them ! But what I beleive more, is that this is the first part of Violin of the plan ..... Next step will be that one of the Big Five will buy Violin.
And I think Netapp is the best for that: because Netapp are dead if they don't bring up soon a full flash, high performance, array. And it's too late to develop from scratch a new one. So they have to buy one ... And to be credible, they have to buy someone that is considered as a leader or a visionnary. Violin is. And Moreover, Netapp need his own caching solution, not the Fusion-IO one (or the FlashAccel one), because Fusion-IO will become very dangerous in the future, by entering in the Flash Array area. So Gridiron could be the Netapp way for building his own caching solution.
Lastly, Gridion and NEtapp already have strong relationship. Netapp E-series is Gridiron storage solution for their hybrid flash array ....
This is all why I beleive, and I hope, Netapp will (or has to !) buy Violin. If it's the plan, then the Violin / Gridiron wedding makes sens. It not, this Violin/Gridiron wedding is just a very sad and unanderstandable news for me !
I agree that this is an odd move for Violin since they don't need any caching due to being on the PCI bus when fully configured.
I don't follow why NetApp should want to buy the bundle though, they already cache to either NVRAM or SSD anyway and have a solution for moving closer to the CPU for reads. Their strategy also involves using SATA for the capacity behind the cache rather than faster disk so I can't see them planning this. I may be wrong though, these companies do some weird things!
Netapp needs something new, in the all Flash array area. Their FAS line of products are very good (IMHO) but for capacity needs. Nor performance needs. Their E-series line are good products too, with much better performance, but whithout any advanced feature. And they still can't compete with Full Flash actors.
It's why they have to push out a new solution, either custom made or thanks to shopping cart !
This is what is behind the confidential "Mars Project". And the timeline is probably arround Mars 2013 ... So this is why I think that Netapp might be interested in buying Violin.
Moreover, everybody know that Netapp like "All in one " Box, with SAN (FC, ISCSI, ...) and NAS (CIFS, NFS) features. And in november 2012, Netapp secretly bought CacheIQ company , which similar feature as Gridiron, but in the NAS area...
So if Netapp Buy Violin, they will have all the necessary technologies to build a very interesting full flash solution: Violin for the Array, Gridiron and CacheIQ for the cache (so they could stop using Fusion-IO technology), and their own technologies for everything else (management, dedup/compression, ...).
Of course, this is all pure speculation from me. But I think It makes sense, in a technical and business point of view.
still very surprised !
On january 16, Violin wrote that "caching" is a compromise, totally useless in their point of view: http://www.violin-memory.com/blog/the-cost-of-compromise-4-caching/
And on january 18, Violin CEO say they buy a caching solution .....
So this sound still, and moreover, a very surprising news ... To strange for me

Since the Taxi Availability standards were implemented, there has been an increase in the number of taxis plying our roads, which means more are able to get taxis. Pre-revew, 82% of taxis are on our roads in 2012 during peak hours. Post-review, the figure has increased to 87%in the first 9 months of 2014. The increase means that there are over 1,400 extra taxis which are available to commuters during these hours. Also, more are plying at least 250km a day, if not, more.
In fact, despite the more stringent regulations, taxi companies are performing better as well, with Comfort, CityCab and Premier consistently meeting the higher standards, and Premier and SMRT meeting several of the old guidelines.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
Resale value is one of the main reasons why cars are painted in relatively safe colours. Very rarely would you find a car painted in a wild paint scheme, for the majority of owners are afraid it may hurt its eventual selling price. However, there is a small group of car owners who value individuality over a car's resale value, choosing to paint and wrap their cars in unusual colours.
There are lots of options when it comes to changing the colour of your car (think paint, wraps, and dipping), and the relatively ease of doing so means that there is an increasing number of cars in unique colours. With all the fancy tech capable of reproducing the wildest of colours, what are the 5 most unique and original car colours in Singapore? 1. Pepp...
Creative, innovative, unique and funky.
These four words exemplify the public's perception of the new Renault Captur, having "polled" our friends and family on the design and outlook of the car.
It wasn't too long ago that crossovers became the new hype in the world of wheels. German marque Mercedes-Benz launched the all-new GLA Class in June earlier this year, and Lexus subsequently followed suit with their sharp NX.
Marrying sharp looks and futuristic design isn't a piece of cake. And to this extent, we certainly must say that Renault has done a great job with its new urban crossover – the Captur.
Subaru Tecnica International Inc. (STI) announced the release of the Subaru "Forester tS", which went on sale on November 25 through Subaru dealerships in Japan.
With a development concept focused on creating an on-road vehicle which has a rugged styling, responsive handling performance and quality feel, the Forester tS offers an enhanced version of the driving performance the Forester provides as an SUV, delivering the ultimate in driving enjoyment and pleasure of ownership.
Infiniti has won the first-ever People's Choice Award as part of the 11th annual Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge with SYNAPTIQ, a unique answer to this year's theme of "Sensing the Future: How Will Cars Interact With Us In 2029?"
Infiniti designers looked toward the future in which augmented reality, 3D hologram, and wearable technologies may be a part of the everyday driving experience, creating a seamless interaction between man and machine.
The LTA has announced plans to expand bus interchanges at Sengkang and Tampines. Each interchange will receive up to 12 bus bays in the revamp in a bid to accommodate the increase in buses and commuters. The extension to Sengkang's and Tampines' bus interchange wil be built along Compassvale Road and Tampines Concourse respectively, and work is scheduled for completion late 2015. The extension plays a vital supporting role to the Government's Bus Service Enhancement Programme; the BSEP aims to add 1,000 new buses on the road by 2017, and the infrastructure has to be upgraded to facilitate the increase in the number of buses. Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
Infiniti unveiled the new QX50 crossover at the 12th China (Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition. Not only has the exterior of the popular QX50 undergone aesthetic changes that reflect the current Infiniti design direction, but the crossover's overall length is also increased by 80 mm to now measure 4630 mm.
Exterior upgrades include a new-look grille and front bumper assembly that incorporate a sportier design headlight as well as standard LED daylight running lights.
Volkswagen revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the world premiere of the Golf SportWagen HyMotion – a progressive research vehicle with a fuel cell drive.
As the power source of the future, hydrogen and oxygen are combined in the fuel cell to form pure water. Energy is released in this "cold combustion" process – drive energy for an electric motor that turns with zero emissions. The front wheel drive Golf SportWagen HyMotion accelerates to 62 mph in 10.0 seconds. The hydrogen is stored safely in four high-tech carbon-fibre tanks, which are located in a space-saving way in the under body. Their fuel capacity enables a driving range of 310 miles. Refilling of the fuel tank of the concept car takes just three minutes.

We predicted Lewis would try to divert library funds into building the town center, and this article seems to be consistent.
This will be met with lawsuits. Don't even think about trying it.

"divert library funds into building the town center,"
Since the current and the new library will be part of the Town Center why shouldn't the library pay its fair share of the planning for the project?

So we're looking at public art on this blog, starting with some around Dandenong. If you've ever driven down the main street, Lonsdale, you will have seen this work:
This is 'Gateway' by David Sequeira in collaboration with Electrolight, BKK Architects and TCL Landscape Architects,Urban Renewal Authority URA (formerly VicUrban) and Council, and last week we recieved some very exciting news about it.
'Gateway' has received a Commendation in this year's Victorian IES Lighting Design Awards.
The IES Lighting Design awards recognise the best in architectural lighting design in Victoria.
The judges commented "Attention to detail, and a desire for beauty have delivered the objective to 'revitalise central Dandenong'. The designers have created a legacy for the residents to take ownership in and helped restore civic pride".
'Gateway' represents an excellent model for artists working on architectural design teams to achieve innovative infrastructure projects. Council in partnership with URA engaged David Sequeira through a rigorous selection process.
David describes 'Gateway' as follows; 'Londsdale Street functioned as an important carriage way between Melbourne and Eastern Victoria. In the previous two centuries this precinct marked the entrance to or departure from the satellite town of Dandenong. The work acknowledges this 'gateway' function and history of the precinct with a colonnaded rainbow/ spectrum which is both celebratory and ceremonial.
.. Newcomers to the area are surprised and excited by its opportunities while those who have lived there for some time are well aware of its resources and benefits. Given this revitalisation proposal the precinct's future can be likened to a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.'
Congratulations David, and all involved, for this well deserved commendation!

A woman's teenage boyfriend fired five shots at another woman, a disabled man and three children after his girlfriend had an argument over trying to get baby formula.
No one was struck at 2213 Stuart St., according to a Chattanooga police report.
D'Asiah Johnson, 23, and Brian Green both face five counts of aggravated assault in connection with the March 27 incident.
After Johnson had an argument over the woman not giving her formula, she got into her white Ford Crown Victoria where her infant was in the backseat. She rounded the block one time before Green, who was sitting in the front seat, opened fire with a pistol, the report states.
Both Johnson and Green are scheduled to appear at April 4 before Hamilton County General Sessions Court Judge Gary Starnes.

Apple's Tim Cook gets one million reasons to stay on as CEO
Apple has given its new CEO, Tim Cook, a million reasons to stay on until August 24, 2021. As required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, Apple filed a Form 8-K on Friday to officially inform stockholders of company leadership changes that might affect stock performance. Oh, if you haven't heard, Steve Jobs resigned …
Paper value is meaningless ...
... the real tale of the tape will be when a principle sells a large block.
This is a "reply to" my own first post in this thread ...
I'm referring to my post:
Hopefully useful input for ElReg ... Side-note: this edge-case might not be valid because my actual first post was nixed :-)
United States of Apple?
Hmm, well, using that 4029% rate, that makes the market cap of Apple in 2021 about 14.682 Trillion
Now US GDP in 2010 was 14.5265T, lets assume a 3% growth rate, so that makes US GDP in 2021 20.1081T
So Apples market cap will be 73.02% of GDP. Somewhere around there maybe they'll change the US flag to the Apple logo? :)
Market Forces (to coin a phrase)
Anything sold is worth what someone else is prepared to pay for it.
Any other value is speculation/wishful thinking or whatever.
Beer? - well, it IS Saturday...
dream on, Tim...
... if that comes to pass, Apple Inc will have a market cap of $15 trillion. And to do that, it will have to take over several global industries. Or maybe Apple will be the de facto world government by then.
World Government
Election slogan: iPhone and iVote.
Apple bubble.
It'll pop soon enough.
"meh" Icon please.
why work?
If you are earning $10s of millions a year, it's hard to see why not retire once you get to $50m or so... do they want/need the money or just never think about retiring?
There's the other thing
(a) you'd get really bored- with less than a hundred or so million you could run out of cash pretty quickly (if living a lavish lifestyle).
(b) at tens-of-millions you're barely 'rich' by today's standards. Try buying a superyacht for a whole decade's earnings and you'll be at the shallow end of that pool. And when you're rich you'll associate with people like you- who'll also be rich. So your baseline for how well off you're doing shifts as well.
(c) Maybe, just maybe, the guy might enjoy his job!
Well said...
Couldn't agree more, JDX. I've long realised I could never be a Jobs, Gates or Buffet.
Long before I was worth a billion, I would have thought "Sod this for a game of soldiers - I have enough to not have to come to work any more..."
It would be nice to have a few millions to give away though - but to real deserving causes, not just todays PC favourite.
Hmm ...
> (c) Maybe, just maybe, the guy might enjoy his job!
In that case he should surely be paying, not be paid ?
The other Steve did just that.
Steve Wozniak quit Apple after a similar revelation following a microlight-aircraft accident. I can't find the article now, but while lying in his hospital bed, he says that he thought to himself: "I've over a quarter of a billion dollars, and I'm in my thirties. There's nothing I plan to do for the rest of my life that needs more money than that. Why should I go back?"
Granted, this was in the early 1980s, when a quarter of a billion dollars was a lot of money... ;)
Quarter of a billion...
...still is a lot of money!
Hell, I'd settle for quarter of a Million...just being mortgage-free would be a serious life improver for most of us.
And the Apple shareholders are ok with this transfer of wealth of $350 million from their company to his pocket? I guess so, if they're not complaining about it...
RE: Shareholders?
How is this any different to any other megacorp? If the guy delivers results (which he kind of has been doing already) then where is the problem? It's not like Apple are hemorrhaging cash; far from it. If anything this deal is a show of faith from Apple's board in Tim Cook. It is a positive thing. I guess that since you almost certainly have no real concern, then of course you'd look at it negatively.
What is the point?
If you have enough money to comfortably live off just the interest for the rest of your life, what is the incentive to actually do anything at all? If you do things for other reasons than money, why bother with it once you have 'working capital'?
Sorry, I just don't get it at all.
A friend of mine lost his job from a successful and profitable company which was closed by it's new merkin owners. When asked why close down a company that was making money he responded - it's not how much money you make that matters. It's how much more money you make.
You're are missing the point.
This has nothing to do with giving Tim some huge allotment of money.
This doesn't even have anything to do with a performance bonus (although indirectly it does apply).
As the article and various of you all note, his regular compensation is fair enough already.
No, this is all about succession planning. The board wants to guarantee a stable leadership figure over at least the next 5, preferably 10, years. This is for both public image and shareholder confidence, as well as to bring up and train the next executive team in "the Apple way".
And for that, no amount of money would be too much. The fact that it is a relatively modest amount considering Apples profit, marketshare and "earnings potential" means that there are already other compensation plans underway.
Whether you agree with the Apple ethos or not doesn't matter. The fact remains it is one of the largest companies in the world. Successfully leading such a beast is not only terribly difficult, but deserves compensation commiserate with the responsibilities.
Karl P
I find it hard to believe that the right person for the job would need such a reason to stay?
Surely loving the company and the job is enough to stay? it's the reason Ballmer won't go unless forced to. He's often shouted how he loves the company.
Giles, this is nothing to do with Tim Cooks regard of Apple. This is the board telling investors and Wall St generally that they believe that Tim Cook is the right man going forward and that they are prepared to commit to him on a massive financial scale. Money is the language of investment; merely shouting, clown like, of your love for the company means nothing in business terms.
@Giles Jones
Cook probably doesn't need this money to make him stay. This is about convincing everyone else that this is a 10 year plan and not a short term patch up until they find someone better.
Past performance
If he continues to deliver results like in the past, that bonus is not gross.
Wall-Street has paid much more to people who destroyed more value than he helped create.
It's probably better to let Scott and Phil do the presentations, though ;-)
Even Phil has gotten better at it over the last key-notes - and I though he was hopeless.
$15,454,438,200 in 2021? That might just cover the price of a sandwich if he doesn't want any extra fillings or sauces.
Even if he decimates the current stock value ...
he get $38 million - a magnificent reward for such a failure
Pedant Alert
Actually if he decimates the stock value the bundle will be worth $345m.
Pedant alert.
In literal terms decimate means reducing by a tenth not to a tenth.
59 million a year salary?
Hell, for that sort of money I'd even take a job with Apple.
at least
the fanbois know where their money is going *snicker*

It is fairly tough to imagine Donncha O'Callaghan pulling off a goose-step, even the wildest reaches of one's imagination. However, if Sunday's game between the Barbarians and an England XV gets stretched, do not bet against the Ireland and Munster lock attempting something to please the Twickenham crowd.
Photo: Getty Images
Following in the footsteps of his elder brother Ultan, who represented the famous invitational side against the Combined Services back in 2002, O'Callaghan is donning the celebrated black and white hoops for the first time this weekend.
Declaring himself "honoured" to be involved for Dean Ryan's team of superstar names, he will be reliving the games played among his siblings in the garden as youngsters – albeit on a far bigger scale.
"I have three elder brothers so there were always two teams at home – Ireland and the Baa-Baas," explained the 35 year-old, who starts in the second row alongside Springbok Juandre Kruger. "Nobody ever wanted to be England or Wales, that was unthinkable.
"When you were the Barbarians there was always an emphasis to try things – a hitch-kick or a chip ahead or something like that. I guess in that respect, this is a boyhood dream for me."
Given an electric All Black trio of Joe Rokocoko, Rene Ranger and Hosea Gear will be lining up opposite England as well, moments of jaw-dropping skill are to be expected.
Captained by Argentinean flanker Juan Manuel Leguizamon, the Barbarians match-day 23 has been drawn from nine different nations and contains over 700 Test caps. Hooker Andrew Hore, a 2011 Rugby World Cup-winner, has come out of international retirement especially for this occasion.
All in all, Ryan has a vastly experienced group with which to take on England. Scrum half Jimmy Cowan, another Kiwi, has the enviable task of sparking the stellar backline and hopes the likes of Ranger can be at their "damaging best".
However, with the benefit of two seasons at Gloucester Rugby, Cowan has also become familiar with the majority of the England XV and insists an evenly-matched contest lies in wait.
"It's tough for them because half of their squad is in New Zealand," he added after the squad's first training session on Thursday. "But there will be a lot of guys looking to work their way up the pecking order. They've been in camp for the last two weeks and will be chomping at the bit.
"We've got to match their enthusiasm and, if we do, it should be a good spectacle of rugby."

Solar energy is used by people from around the world. Ask anyone who uses solar energy in their own home, and you will find a person who is paying less for energy every month. This article can help you see how solar energy work and the benefits of it. The efficiency of your panels and the surface they cover will determine how much power you can generate. You may have to spend some time calculating the right number of panels for your situation. You may decide to purchase fewer panels so that you can invest in those that really do their job well.
If you want to get off the grid, you will need to store power for when the sun is not shining. Buy an efficient battery which will allow you to power your home at night, or sell the power back to the grid.
If you get solar panels installed, make a habit of checking the inverter. You need to see a green light that's solid. Call a professional if it's blinking or off. Self-diagnosing solar panel problems is outside the capacity of most owners. Support from a qualified technician should cover by your extensive warranty.
If you care about the environment in any way, you should check into getting involved with solar energy. Solar power is extremely friendly to the Earth, since it uses sunlight as a renewable source of energy. If you are concerned about your use of fossil fuels, solar energy could be the answer.
How do you use energy? Before switching to solar panel, you must know how you use energy. Making the right choices for your needs is essential to getting the most for your money. It is best to review a full year's worth of energy bills to get a firm idea of your seasonal consumption.
Solar panels are very expensive, so it may help you to buy as few of them as possible. Hire an energy auditor to visit your home and see how energy is used. This allows you to discover your energy waste issues. By making these changes, you may not need to install as many panels.
Be sure to have a biannual check of your solar energy panels to make certain everything is ship-shape. During this inspection, your technician will ensure all connections are tight, the angle of your panels are correct and the power inverter is working properly.
Anyone living in the southwestern United States should absolutely think about solar. This area receives the greatest amount of solar radiation throughout the year, so it is the most cost effective place to use solar panels. If you haven't examined the costs and benefits of solar energy, it will be a good idea to begin now.
If solar panels are less than affordable, or you are not interested in committing long-term, you might think about leasing your solar energy system. Leasing is more affordable and you will save energy costs more quickly.
Avoid stepping on solar panels, unless you really need to. The materials are durable, yet very expensive. Applying the weight to them is risky. If it's necessary to walk on them, don't step on the panels' edges, as this section is the most fragile.
Dry your clothes outside in the sun. This old-fashioned idea is still an excellent way to make use of the sun. Rather than use your appliance to dry your laundry, hang it outside on a clothesline. You'll save both money and energy and your clothes will fresh and clean.
Saving the environment is no easy feat, but using solar and green energy sources can do so and save your power bill, too. Historically, energy bills have doubled every ten years, costing homeowners more of their disposable income. Use what you have learned in this article to bring some green into your life.

Banana popcorn is delicious! Gold Medal does a great job at making flavors true to their name. The candy coating is crunchy and not too sweet.

How can you say no to banana flavored treats. This is one flavor that is hard to find on the menu, especially on corn treats.

In isolation I like the new Monster, which has character, looks good and is modern but still very much a Monster. The new liquid-cooled engine is much better than the old bike's. There's loads of mid-range and low-down grunt, and it sounds fantastic for a standard bike. The handling on the S model is excellent, just as happy on road ...
849cc, 132bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 16
In all honesty, MCN hadn't expected great things of this bike. On one hand the new bike was at best surely only a 'lesser' version of the already aging Streetfighter 1098 – a bike that has slipped down the appeal ladder due to its £14,695 cost (Streetfighter S model only for 2012) and overpowering performance. On the other, even though ...
1078cc, 95bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 14
Like the Ducati Monster 696 that arrived earlier in 2008, the bigger capacity Monster range was, after 15 years, in desperate need of an update. And the result is the best air-cooled Monster ever. Only subtle styling tweaks have been applied, but serious thought and attention has been lumped on the engine and chassis components. If it's a pleasurable, no-nonsense, ...
1293cc, 175bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 17
It may look largely the same as the outgoing model but the latest version of BMW's rocketship K1300S has had a host of small changes that add up to a much better bike all round.

1670cc, 90bhp, 131mph, Insurance group 16
The Yamaha MT-01 has radical, straight-from-show-concept-bike styling allied to monstrous road presence which gives this motorcycle a kick-in-the-teeth visual appeal like no other. Build and detailing is fabulous and the thunderous engine sounds like no other. Shame performance is merely average yet the price stratospheric, then.

By now the world knows BMWs can be fun: the 180bhp K1200S and R models are simply riotous. But somehow the Boxer-engine range has always maintained a straight-faced attitude – diligent, hard-working and hard wearing. Then some bright spark decides the R1200R should be fashionably naked, have sporting pretensions with half decent handling and agility, and a touch of midrange ...

The Lesbian in "Milk": Alison Pill as Anne Kronenberg
"He wanted to get it right and I believe he did," Kronenberg
"Gus welcomed us on the set, and when we were there was always asking,
'Is this the way it happened? ' And he would
change things when we said something wasn't right. For instance, when I said, 'Wait,
women were marching behind him in the Gay Freedom Day Parade,' Gus put out a
call, 'All of Anne's posse, come on down,' so that there'd be women there. It
was amazing, and I was consulted a lot."
Anne in Harvey's campaign headquarters (his camera store) in 1978
Van Sant chatted with AfterEllen.com for a few minutes the
day after Milk premiered in San
He said that in the middle of shooting, activist and former Milk
political protégé Cleve Jones (played in the film by Emile Hirsch) told him
about one incident involving Anne and her "posse" that he thought
should be in the film.
Alison Pill
as Anne Kronenberg; Emile Hirsch as Cleve Jones
There were three gay men running for the seat Milk ended up
winning, and one of them, Rick Stokes, was known as being pretty uptight, Jones
told Van Sant. Right after being hired as Milk's campaign manager, Anne brought
her dyke posse to a Stokes campaign event, where she and the other women
started handing out "Milk" signs to the women filing into the room.
In the Milk
shooting script, Stokes responds to Anne's presence with outrage. "Young
lady," he fusses at her, "You must be confused. This is my night, not Mr. Milk's."
Anne introduces herself as Harvey's campaign manager, and Stokes replies,
"Then you should know this race is for District 5, the Castro, not for all
of your lesbian… compadres."
A tough-looking woman grabs Anne and kisses her, and Anne
tells him, "I'm sorry. Are we distracting you, Mr. Stokes? I'd hate to
screw you up on your big night."
Stokes orders the women to leave, saying they're not from
the district, and another Milk supporter corrects him. "Not true. Guess
where we found them all, Rick? A slew of them, way up on
Living right there in our district. And you see, as it turns out, Annie here is
very, very popular with the
Pill said she loved the scene, saying that Stokes was always
trying to "keep it comfortable with straight folks. Like you can be gay,
but not too gay. And Harvey would always preach
the exact opposite."
She also praised Cleve Jones for always being the one ready
to say, "We need more ladies."
"He always did," Van Sant agreed. "I just
wish in this case he'd have said it a little sooner. I'd have liked to make
that scene work in the film, but it was already…" He paused as if
searching for a word.
"Epic?" I offered.
He just smiled. "There's a lot of story."
Still, it's clear he regrets not finding a way to use the
scene. "It's part of the story that his alliance with the lesbian
community gained him votes," he said. "It was partly through Anne and
partly through other advances into the community and connections…. There are a
lot of things in the film that are absent, and that story is one of them."
He added that even though the scene isn't in the final cut
of the film, he expected it to be included as an extra on the DVD when it's
Pill was disappointed the scene didn't make it into the
final cut, and about something else, too. "I thought there was going to be
a full on make out scene," she told me. "There was just a little
Even without that bit of guerilla campaigning, however, Pill
makes an impact in a film loaded with powerful performances. Because it's in
the trailer and is bright, funny, and important, the scene where Harvey introduces her to
his friends and supporters is probably the one that most people will be talking

Who Buys Treasury Securities at Auction?
|January 2007Volume 13, Number 1
|JEL classification: H63, G18, G12
Authors: Michael J. Fleming
The U.S. Treasury Department now releases fuller information about its auctions than in the past, including new information on investor class and bidder category. The investor class data shed light on the distribution of demand for government securities, and the bidder category data, released first, offer an early read on demand. Purchases by indirect bidders, in particular, are a fairly good proxy for foreign purchases of Treasury notes, but not Treasury bills.

The Crippling, All-Court Influence of Andrew Bogut's Absence
That analysis of the crushing impact Andrew Bogut's indefinite absence will have on the Warriors playoff hopes has been relegated to one side of the ball is extremely telling. Golden State was a defensive team first and foremost this season, after all, due in large part to the supreme influence of its seven-foot Aussie. But his near-dominance on that end of the floor not withstanding, we'd be remiss to continue acting as if the loss of Bogut won't prove detrimental to the Warriors offense, too. And considering that reality, it bears mentioning that Golden State is in even more trouble against the Clippers than anyone's anticipating. Continue Reading

2 reviews
The weather was perfect when we visited Bruges, so we spent the day there and enjoyed excellent Belgian food (mussels and French/Flemish fries) and beer. The chocolate mousse is outstanding!
Since Bruges is so small relative to Amsterdam and other cities with canals, the canal cruise is not as extensive. Nevertheless, it is quite worthwhile and you see the city from a different vantage point.

But people go on carrying the scriptures, believing the scriptures, hoping that their life will remain full of light because they are carrying a message from a great master. That message is nothing more than words; it is an unnecessary burden. If all the scriptures of the world disappear, man may become more cautious, may become more alert, may start looking for the source of light on his own. Because there will be nothing to lean on, he will have to learn to stand on his own feet.
Lung-t'an was once visited by Te-shan, who, seeking further and further elucidation, remained until it grew late. Lung-t'an finally said, "The night deepens. Why don't you retire?"
Te-shan, taking his leave, raised the bamboo blind and went out. Seeing the intense darkness without, he returned and said, "It is dark outside."
Lung-t'an then lit a lantern and offered it to Te-shan. Just as Te-shan was about to take it, Lung-t'an abruptly blew it out. With this, Te-shan suddenly attained awakening, whereupon he bowed.
Lung-t'an said, "What kind of truth did you see?"
Te-shan said, "Never after today shall I doubt the utterances of all the old masters under heaven."
The next day Lung-t'an went before the disciples and said, "Within this group there is a man whose canine teeth are like sword trees, whose mouth resembles a bloody plate, and who won't turn his head even when given a blow with a stick. One day he will establish my way on the top of a solitary mountain peak."
Te-shan then took out his sutra commentaries and in front of the meditation hall, raised a torch and said, "Endless deep analysis is like placing a single hair in the emptiness of space; worldly power is like throwing one drop of water into an immense gorge."
So saying, he took his commentaries and burned them.
Now, if you don't have eyes even light is useless; a lantern in your hands is nothing, utterly nothing. But if you have eyes, even the blowing out of a candle can become an experience of enlightenment. The question is of eyes.
This man Lung-t'an was visited by Te-shan. Lung-t'an is the Master, Te-shan is his disciple. Seeing the darkness outside, the disciple said to the master, "It is too dark."
The master lit a candle and gave it to the disciple, and as he was going to take it, he blew it out. Suddenly, all became dark again, more dark than it was before. And this abrupt blowing-out of the candle must have been a shock - unexpected. For a moment the disciple must have fallen into the interval between two thoughts. For a moment thinking disappeared and there was contemplation. For a moment there was utter silence. In that silence he could see the point.
The next day he burned all his scriptures. Now they were no longer needed; now he knew the truth through his own experience.

|Criminal status
Diane Michelle Zamora (born January 21, 1978) is a former United States Naval Academy midshipman who is serving a life sentence for the December 4, 1995, murder of Adrianne Jones, a girl Zamora believed was a romantic rival for her boyfriend, David Graham.[1][2][3]
Relationship with Graham[edit]
Graham and Zamora began dating in August 1995, and only about a month later, they announced their engagement to their families. Graham and Zamora planned to marry in the year 2000, shortly after their scheduled graduations from their respective academies.
Around December 1, Graham confessed to Zamora that he had cheated with Mansfield High School track teammate Adrianne Jones. An enraged Zamora allegedly demanded that Graham atone for his transgression by killing Jones.
Law enforcement officials associated with the case have stated that the sexual encounter did not actually happen, but was invented by Graham. "For those who don't remember, this was a totally brutal, unnecessary murder. David had lied to Diane about an alleged sexual tryst that never happened with Adrianne Jones. If he had said, 'I was just kidding, I was just trying to make you jealous', Adrianne Jones would still be alive today."—Sgt. Alan Patton, Grand Prairie Police Department|The Dallas Morning News, April 7, 2007[4]
The Crime[edit]
On December 4, 1995, Graham and Zamora carried out their plan. Around 10:30 PM, Graham called Adrianne Jones and arranged a date. Unbeknownst to her parents, Jones snuck out of her house later that night to go out with Graham, who picked her up outside.
Graham then drove to a deserted road near Grand Prairie, Texas. Zamora was hiding in the hatchback of the car. The original plan was that Zamora would come up behind a seated Jones and snap her neck. Graham would help her dump the body in a nearby lake. Graham and Zamora planned to tie weights to Jones's body so that it would sink to the bottom of the lake.
The murder didn't go according to plan. Zamora grabbed Jones and a struggle ensued. Graham tried to snap her neck by turning it as is done in movies, but found it to be ineffective. Zamora then hit Jones in the head with a weight, but Jones somehow managed to get out of Graham's car and run away. According to his confession, Zamora told Graham that he could not let Jones get away. Graham took his gun, tracked Jones down in the field, and shot her twice in the head. According to Graham's confession, when he returned to the car, he and Zamora exchanged "I love you's." Then, Zamora asked Graham, "What have we done?", and he replied "I don't know, I can't believe we just did that."[5] They then disposed of their bloody clothes and went home. Adrianne Jones's body was discovered the next day.
The movie[edit]
Before the couple's trials began, the case became the subject of a 1997 made-for-television movie called Swearing Allegiance (Love's Deadly Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murder). The movie tells the story of the murder of Adrianne Jones. The character of Diane Zamora was played by Holly Marie Combs.
The trial[edit]
Diane Zamora's two-week trial began in February 1998 in Fort Worth with Judge Joe Drago III presiding. It received national media attention, providing Court TV with some of its highest ratings ever in their film coverage of the capital murder trial. Some of the interest centered on whether she was the submissive victim or the jealous driving force behind the murder.
Under Texas law, murder is the intentional killing of another human being, while capital murder includes murder with an underlying felony of kidnapping, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, arson, or obstruction. In this case, the prosecutor believed that Adrianne Jones was deceptively lured from her home by David Graham asking her for a bogus date, or she would not have been in the car. Moreover, the couple committed obstruction when Zamora allegedly ordered Graham to stalk Jones out into the field and to shoot her so that she could not tell the authorities.
Conviction and incarceration[edit]
On February 17, 1998, after over six hours of deliberations over two days, a Texas jury found Diane Zamora guilty of capital murder in the death of Adrianne Jones. Because of the Jones family's request that prosecutors not seek the death penalty against her, Zamora received a mandatory sentence of life in prison.[6]
On July 24, 1998, after a separate trial, a Texas jury found David Graham guilty of capital murder. He was also sentenced to life in prison.[7]
On June 17, 2003, Diane married Steven Mora, another inmate in a Texas prison. A judge in San Antonio performed the wedding ceremony in which Zamora's mother and a male friend stood in for the imprisoned couple in the county's first proxy marriage.[8] Earlier that year, Zamora and Steven Mora had written to the county clerk's office, requesting a marriage license. KDFW-TV in Dallas obtained a copy of the marriage certificate—dated June 17 and issued by Bexar County—naming Zamora, and Mora of San Antonio. They were divorced as of 2010.
2007 interview[edit]
Zamora was interviewed by Stone Phillips on Dateline in a show broadcast in April, 2007. Her appeals were exhausted, and with her lawyer's permission she took a polygraph test administered by Dateline. Her story was now that Graham and she were breaking up, and that Graham was using the murder to "tie her to him". She noted that she obstructed justice by cleaning the car afterwards and was an accessory after the fact; however, Zamora pointed out that the jury had convicted her of intending to kill Jones, which she denied. When she took the Dateline polygraph, the administrator repeatedly told her to stop her exaggerated breathing, a counter-measure for polygraph tests. Dateline's polygraph administrator said he believed he had enough to actually say Zamora failed the crucial question on whether she had intended to kill Jones. Two other independent polygraph administrators, who were not at the test, were contacted by Dateline and asked to review the results said that they could offer no opinion due to counter-measures. Zamora responded to Phillips that she was nervous and hyperventilating despite being told all the questions in advance and reviewing them with the administrator before the test.[9]
