Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp... (Quotation)
Quotation: "Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see."
Variations: None known.

Status: This statement has not been found in any of the writings of Thomas Jefferson. It appears to be of extremely recent vintage, and does not appear in any secondary print sources available online. Thomas Jefferson did grow hemp, but there is no evidence to suggest that Jefferson was a habitual smoker of hemp, tobacco, or any other substance. Some have pointed to a supposed reference in Jefferson's Farm Book to separating male and female hemp plants as evidence that he was cultivating it for purposes of recreational smoking; no such reference exists in Jefferson's Farm Book or any other document, although George Washington did record such a thing in his own diary: "Began to seperate the Male from the Female hemp at Do.&—rather too late."[1] The editorial note accompanying this comment cites Bernard McMahon's American Gardener's Calendar: "This may arise from their [the male] being coarser, and the stalks larger"[2]

I'm afraid TJ's Disciple's "THC percentages per dry weight" are as rampantly viral and false as the quote. You see these laughable %'s everywhere but trust me: initiate a credible discourse with an actual lab that measures cannabinoids and you'll see 0.5% THC per dry plant matter would be amazing weed. Police propagate this type of falsehood, alleging "yesteryear's 3% has been bred into 30% THC superweed" -- another falsehood. The closest foljks educated on this matter can guess is these bastardized figures come from misinterpretaions of THC (and other cannabinoids that actually effect you far more when combined) percentages published in relation to %'s within of each the entire cannabinoid resin profile. NSaying 0.5% THC plant matter wouldn't get you high is highly misinformed. It would be spectacular. Plus, prohibition has led to THC having been bred out of sativas and/or ruderalis and this had not ALL happened yet in the days of the founding fathers. Talk of exotic party favors from Asia was very common with these guys, and the main setback to getting high would have been the only part of the plant getting you high being the buds, which could be scarce on pure sativa before selective drug breeding. But on average you could have walked through the founding fathers' fields of hemp in, say, October and found PLENTY of wee, stick buds with plenty of THC in it, even though it would have been like picking occasional popcorn-sized buds every 6 feet at the very conservative least, instead of huge heavy colas everywhere like domesticated drug sativa.
Now THAT is scientific fact regarding that time period's hemp if you do enough research and even grow the closest survivor of that pre-prohibition help strain out yourself, which folks do,like adding a wolf back into a domesticated dog bloodline to fuel getic diversity. Everyone above stating you can't get high off hemp is talking about after THC got bred out much later than Jefferson! There were only ever three species in the genus: sativa, ruderalis, and indica! They can ALL get you high just fine before breeding out THC decades later, if you know what part/when to harvest/smoke! They had plenty of sticky buds seeing as how they had so much!
First of all, hemp IS marijuana. Two words for the same thing. Secondly, the plant can have various strains cultivated for both industrial and recreational use. The same plant. For industrial hemp, plants that produce the most fibers can be separated for clothing. It can also be cultivated for separating out the plants that produce the "high". It is widely known as fact that Native Americans grew and used cannibis for recreational, medicinal, and ceremonial purposes. And since the nation's founders encountered the Native Americans and gained their agricultural knowledge, it seems preposterous to think that they only taught the founders how to cultivate corn and squash. The Jefferson quote in question may very well be (and likely is) untrue, but that doesn't change history. The founders don't mention getting drunk and getting wild in their writings either. Are we to assume that they never did? It is also of note to point out that the official line from the folks in charge of keeping James Buchanan's legacy alive is that he was not gay, when it is widely known by historians that he was in fact gay. Trying to make a Presidential legacy look more "virtuous" by leaving out stuff they think people don't want to hear is sad.
This is reply to Anna; you are very welcome. I notice this quote has received some media attention lately. It is easiest to debunk a spurious quote when its origin is known. I trace oral traditions and Revolutionary War stories in an attempt to elucidate their origins, and thus determine their validity. Along these lines, some of Parson Weems' Washington stories originated in oral traditions repeated in an Alexandria tavern. I posted a detailed history of a spurious Benjamin Rush quote in the Yahoo Group "Revlist," a spurious quote which originated during the debate over the Owen Bill to establish a Dept. of Public Health and revitalized during the Obamacare debates. (William Myers, independant historian).
I don't think it was even well-known as a smokable plant at the time, at least in America. Real hemp would have been quite harsh to smoke, and would have had a very weak high. I thought this quote was bunk and I'm happy to learn that it, in fact, is.
I believe the origin of this quote was a 2007 "stoner" movie entitled "Totally Baked." There is a black screen with the quote and a voiceover 7 minutes into the movie. The quote was facetious and obviously not authentic, but evidently a few people may not have made this distinction. It is reminiscent of the fictional Jefferson execution told in the movie Swordfish.
Thanks for the lead! I always like to know how these get started. I originally saw that someone had posted this quote on Facebook, and decided to take the step of compiling a "debunk" page because there seemed to be some folks who thought it was authentic.
TJ'sDisciple and sandyT and jclass74
You would do well to hear recounts of kids smoking hemp rope during the 1950's in the US.
Perhaps the THC count is low, but if you smoke enough hemp, you'll get the benefits of it.
Lastly, in Amsterdam, I doubt that civic minded squares will be able to overcome the money influence of the drug-tourist economy. Consider the number of jobs that would be lost. Money always wins.
Consider the lethality of tobacco and alcohol. Will they soon be outlawed in the US? No.
The tobacco and alcohol companies own half the companies that produce food for your local grocery store. Good, bad, evil, ... money always wins.
Will marijuana laws in the US be reversed? See the above paragraph.
Alcohol and tobacco will kill you, but nobody in 10,000 years of history, has ever died from the cellular effects of marijuana. That's an incontrovertible fact that even tobacco-funded marijuana research propaganda cannot counter.
Cut military spending, and legalize marijuana, in my dreams.
Industrial hemp is but one strain, and like all other plants Jefferson aquired, he had numerous strains of cannabis growing at Monticello. The word "hemp" was used synonymously for what we call cannabis or marijuana today. Jefferson has written records of storing cannabis in his basement with his other foods and vegetables for preservation. To think that this man, genius that he was, understood all of the properties of the cannabis plant, except its medicinal and recreational properties, is a reflection of a by-now ingrained "reefer madness" mindset, which will dissipate with time and further generations.
Absolutely no member of the vegetable kingdom has ever been more misunderstood than hemp. It is always associated to marijuana. The truth is the THC levels in industrial hemp are so low that no one could get high from smoking it. Furthermore , hemp contains a relatively high proportion of another cannabinoid, CBD, that actually blocks the marijuana high. Therefore, it is an "anti-marijuana". In connection with marijuana, a hot issue hit Amsterdam. The city allures over 3.5 million foreign tourists every year, several of whom are attracted to the java shop culture and assurance of being able to easily and lawfully obtain marijuana. But this will soon change, reports the Los Angeles Times. The Dutch authorities plan to stop drug tourism by forcing coffee stores to become private clubs that only sell to Dutch citizens that present proof of identification. I found this here: Law bans marijuana sale to foreigners from other countries in Dutch coffee shops, newstype.com. Oh well! I just hope that the misconception about hemp will be cleared.
No need in even trying to defend if he was a habitual smoker of it it's a scientific fact While marijuana has a potency range of 3% to 20% by dry weight of THC, industrial hemp is generally defined as having less than 1.0% THC, and the normal range is under 0.5%. These THC levels are so low that no one could get high from smoking it.

- Cooking Time:
- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- 20 frozen uncooked shrimp - thawed and peeled
- 1/3 - 1/2 box thin spaghetti
- 3 cloves fresh minced garlic (about 3 teaspoons if you are using the jarred kind)
- 1 14oz can crushed tomatoes
- juice of 1/2 lemon (optional - but it's really good)
- crushed red pepper
- dried basil and oregano
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta. While pasta is cooking, heat a sautee pan over medium heat with a swirl of olive oil. Add garlic and shrimp. Cook shrimp about 1-2 minutes on each side, remove from pan and set aside. Add crushed tomatoes and lemon juice. Season to taste with crushed red pepper, basil, and oregano. Cook for about 10 minutes, letting it thicken slightly. When pasta is just about ready, return shrimp to pan and heat through. Drain pasta and serve with shrimp mixture. Top with cheese if you like!
NotesThis is one of our quick and easy dinners. It is also great topped with goat cheese or feta cheese. Sorry I don't have exact measurements! I also like to vary this by adding sliced roasted red peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or onions - basically whatever I have on hand.

All day I've been unomforatable walking because when I stand, I feel pressure on my bladder and end up having uncomforatable (but not painful) BH. If I keep standing, they come and go frequently. I changed into looser pants and sat down for an hour and things have improved, but man I have no idea what is going on. Even sitting my bladder feels sore today. Not peeing more though.
Anyone else?
I know how you feel. I don't feel this way everyday nor do I feel it all day, but I have felt this way from time to time. Yesterday when I first got to the mall I felt fine... a little later I felt like I had too constantly pee (but didn't actually have to) and it felt heavy in my belly. I felt like I had to hold the bottom part of my belly up and it was so uncomfortable. I kept thinking she was gonna fall out of me (lol) because it kinda felt like that? Is that what you mean? It wasn't so bad when I sat down though.
I figured this is normal and that it's just her position.... but it was definitely uncomfortable. I haven't had the feeling today. Hope you start feeling more comfortable.

One person trapped inside helicopter crash near Fresno
Chemical may be aboard the helicopter
FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno County fire officials said a crop duster crashed in a field northeast of Highway 41 at Harlan Avenue around 1 p.m Tuesday.
Officials said the pilot from Blair Helicopter Services in Lemoore was spraying herbicide on a wheat field when he crashed the helicopter. Cal Fire and Fresno County sheriffs found the helicopter with the pilot still alive but was stuck inside. It took responders one hour to extricate him.
Firefighters washed down the pilot with water to make sure he was not contaminated with herbicide. The pilot was air lifted to a community regional medical center.

is the beginning of a Bible study
for the book of Genesis
and how it applies to our daily living.
The story of creation as
presented in these passages
of Scripture and,
believe it or not, the big bang theory seems to
support the Bible.
But, this passage can also
mean the beginning of God's relationship with man
(and woman ).
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
The earth was formless and
void, and darkness was over the surface of the
deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the
surface of the waters.
Then God said, Let
there be light; and there was light. God saw
that the light was good; and God separated the
light from the darkness.
God called the light day, and
the darkness He called night. And there was evening
and there was morning, one day." -
Genesis 1:1-5
Ask any given scientist or
historian and you'll get hundreds of answers. Some
say that there was an explosion started from
nothing which caused the universe to
I'm not sure how you feel
about this but I find it very hard to believe that
the universe, the sun, the moon, the earth, the
oceans & lakes, the animals, the insects, the
germs, and people all came about in perfect
precision because of a blast from a single atom.
And, who created that single
However, I also believe, in
my humble understanding, that this hypothesis fully
supports the creation theory and the story of God
creating all things.
If the universe was created
from nothing, who or what started the process. If
you resound that the universe was created -
then you need a Creator, don't you?
A perfect design needs a
designer, doesn't it?
Genesis tells us that God
created all things from nothing which ties into the
big bang theory and the teachings of intelligent
It is just as easy for me to
believe that an all-loving, all-knowing God put the
universe and the earth together and set it in
motion as it is to trust the remarkable story of
the big bang theory.
But, don't just think of
God's creation in terms of science. He is more than
that. God created all of this and made us in His
image because He wanted us as His companions and to
have somebody to love. It's that simple.
I don't know if I could go
through life believing that I am just a freak of
nature which just "happened" and put on this earth
only to live, work, die, and then be forgotten.
What kind of existence would
that be?
According to the Bible, we
were placed on this earth to work God's plan He has
for all of us.
There is no greater reward
than doing what God asks us to do and now, through
Christ, we have the promise
of eternal life if we
only believe.
Is it any less likely that
God created the earth and us than to believe that
God is just particles in space - - gas?

Superb value for money and very compact
By OliWoods
from Cambridge
This is my first 'proper' tripod, i.e. one that isn't plastic.It could be more sturdy but this is forgiveable due to the price and compactness. It simply fits within my camera bag and is a lot more inconspicuous than having a tripod on the outside of the bag, which has meant I have used this tripod on many more occasions than I otherwise would have.The head is in my opinion the downfall and seems to be weaker than the legs it is paired with; though it is easily upgradeable.In summary this tripod easily supports my dslr and kit lens but struggles with telephoto lenses.

Bought three bred beef cows from a neighbor yesterday. He got them from a different guy during the previous week, saved these three for me. So they've been stressed a bit lately.
I have them in a 5 acre pasture. They are still pretty wary of us and won't come near the fence line which is closest to the buildings. That of course is where the water tank is. I have been checking, and they haven't had any water for at least 30 hours now.
How long can they go? They have also been grazing a bit, but haven't touched the hay yet either.
When they get thirsty enough they will come to the water - as long as it's accessible they will find it.
I am only going on what a person can usually do - a rule of three - but we typically can last 3 days with out water.
The rule of 3 is 3 minutes w/o air, 3 hours with out shelter (extreme weather), 3 days with out water, and 3 weeks with out food. Not exact by any means but makes for a good way of memorizing the generalities.
Like I said not exact -but 3 months is generally a bit long for food. After around 3 weeks you will be very weak and lethargic - again this was more of a way of remembering. If you look below in the quote you will see people who have gone the route of total starvation documented have died as early as 46 days.
Water depends upon temperature, it could be as little as 2 days in 120 degree heat to around 10 days if the temperatures are in the 50's
Below is a snip from the following article:http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...n-a-person-sur
I would go and splash my hand in the water where they can hear it. They should make a mental note of their being water there. Have they drank from a tank before?
The 7th Day is still God's SabbathICOG7.ORG Layton Hollow ADGA Nubians Taking Reservation for 2015!
If you have heavy frosts, that might be supplying them with some moisture as they graze. Be sure there's no ice on the trough/tank. Does their manure appear normal?
Cows may not be smarter than People, but some cows are smarter than some people.
Give them 3 days. We have been thru this. We bought out someones herd of highlanders a few years ago. They had always been in an open field. They had never been near a building. Of course, our tanks are just off the buildings because they are attached to the gutters. Those poor cows. They wouldn't come near the tanks. DH went out several times a day, and dipped out a 5 gallon bucket and poured it high back into the tank to make absolutely sure they knew the water was there. They would all look and he would do it a couple more times, then walk away.
On the end of the third day, a few drank, and I believe overnight, the rest followed. They were super nervous for a long time after that, but they drank when no one was around.
We have only a few left from that original group, but they are pretty good now.
Much to my relief, they did come down and drink, whew. I had tried the water splashing thing. Left for town for a while, when I got back, it looked like they were lying in the same spots, except the tank was 2/3 empty Sneaky cows.
I re-filled with the hose and made sure it sounded loud and splashy just for good measure. I think we're good now!
Oh, for pete's sake! We've ALL gone several months with nothing to sustain us but milk. Until we were old enough to be introduced to pablum and mashed bananas.

The three principles we adhere to (Knowledge. Relationships. Business.) may seem like motivational words or tenants from an era gone by. To us, however, they are the core reasons why this site exists; they are a mantra to keep us focused on doing the right things, at the right time for the right reasons.
It's not power, it's empowerment
As I've stated before, how much you know is going to determine how well you can serve your customers. As with any occupation, what you know about your particular industry can help or handicap them. Yet, as the market grows and more and more players get on the field, what will distinguish you from the other guys?
Your knowledge of aging in place coupled with how your services (or products) can help people; that's empowering. Take these and apply them with a zeal to serve those that need it most and you'll have something that will make your company stand out like a purple cow in a field of Holsteins.
Doing what must be done…together
Your community's needs are going to continue to grow. You are (obviously) going to want to continue to grow your business and serve more customers. To realize this in the aging in place market, your relationships with other businesses can mean the difference between being the best or being average. Today, many companies with "average" service, products or support are tolerated; many even prosper. In the coming market, your network of people can help propel you from good to incredible. You have probably heard that quote from Napolean Hill's book about surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you. Smarter is always good. But, I'll take that one step further:
Surround yourself with people who are just as passionate about aging in place as you. If they're smarter, even better.
Let's not forget the most important relationship for your business: your customers. Your commitment to them will show in everything you do. If you are average, you will think that you need customers and they probably need help from you. You'll get business and may not go hungry. If you are exceptional, you will believe you do important work and help people who need it. You will probably grow some and stick around a while. If you are incredible, you will KNOW that the service you and your network can provide to them can change their lives. With that attitude, your businesses could explode with growth and you could enhance the quality of lives of hundreds of people in your community.
Stay tuned for the second part of this post.
Don't be shy! Go to the comments and let's talk.

Volumetric Mixer Definition & Function:
Their are many advantages of using a volumetric mixer over other cement mixing technologies.
- Volumetric mixing on site will allow you to produce the exact amount of concrete needed
-This method of on site mixing allows for you to mix several different blends with only having to haul one load of materials. If you mix at the plant, and different blends of concrete are required, this can cause timely delays in finishing the project as each blend must be delivered separately.
- The reuse of materials that are not needed will allow you to bring all unused materials back to the plant or the next job site without having to worry about the concrete drying as it is not mixed yet.
-Cleanup of the pour is a breeze as there is only one central container that needs to be cleaned, the mixing auger. If you pre-mix at the planet you need to clean out the trucks hauling compartment and the mixing environment at the plant as well.
- Ordering concrete with a volumetric mixer is less of a hassle as with other mixing methods you may over or under estimate the amount of concrete needed. This optimizes the ordering process as well as cutting down on waste.
As you can see, the volumetric mixer is a great method for businesses that want to maximize their return on investment and optimize their work process and scheduling of time and materials.

Larry Eustachy led the CSU men's basketball program to a 26-9 record in his first season in Fort Collins.
Aug. 6, 2013
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State Director of Athletics Jack Graham announced Tuesday that men's basketball Head Coach Larry Eustachy has agreed to a new contract that ensures the Rams' hoops mentor will remain in Fort Collins through at least the 2017-18 season.
The new deal could also keep Eustachy – entering his 23rd season as a head coach – on the floor at Moby Arena through the 2020-21 season, with optional extensions for up to three seasons beyond the initial term of the contract.
"Throughout his career, Larry has always been known as a winner," said Graham. "I am happy to announce that, for the rest of his career, he will also be known as a Ram. Larry led CSU to unprecedented success last season, and based on his track record at the highest level of collegiate athletics, we are very excited that his tenure as head coach of the CSU basketball program will continue perhaps into the next decade."
"I'm incredibly pleased to be able to finalize this new contract, and humbled by the faith shown in me by Jack Graham and Dr. Frank," said Eustachy. "When I was hired, I said that I wanted Colorado State to be my last stop, and that is something that I meant wholeheartedly. To now have a contract in place that makes that a reality is something truly special.
"Colorado State is an incredible place with so much to offer. I know that our basketball program can contribute in very positive ways to the overall quality of life and the student experience at our University. I believe completely in what we are building inside Moby Arena, and I know that we are just scratching the surface of the potential for not only our program, but the entire athletics department and Colorado State."
In addition to the years added to Eustachy's contract term, the two-time national coach of the year will have his base salary raised to $910,000 for the upcoming season, with a two-percent increase set for each subsequent year.
The agreement has bonuses for team performance, including $40,000 for winning 20 games in a season, $100,000 for capturing the Mountain West Conference championship, and $200,000 if the Rams earn a bid to the NCAA tournament.
There are also bonuses and salary increases if Eustachy leads CSU to the Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final 4, or wins the National Championship.
"These are outstanding achievements that many programs would view as stretch goals," said Graham. "Each achievement carries with it a bonus that we'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to award."
As with Eustachy's initial contract at Colorado State, any bonus is contingent on the Rams maintaining good academic standing in the NCAA academic progress rating (APR), and having no major violations of NCAA rules.
The new contract also includes fairly substantial increases in the amount Eustachy would have to pay CSU if he leaves before his contract is up. This includes an increased buyout of $4.5 million to be repaid to CSU if Eustachy were to leave for another job within the first five years of the deal. Buyouts for the optional extension years are also increased over his previous contract at $2.25 million during the 2018-19 season, $1.25 million in 2019-20 and $562,500 in 2020-21.
Eustachy was hired by Graham to take over the reins of the CSU basketball program on April 12, 2012. In his first year at the helm, he led the Rams to arguably the best season in school history, guiding the squad to a school-record 26 victories and an NCAA Tournament victory over the Missouri Tigers before bowing out against eventual national champion Louisville.
The Rams cracked the Associated Press top 25 for first time since 1954, and in the process Eustachy became the only head coach in NCAA Division I history to lead five different programs – Colorado State, Southern Miss, Iowa State, Utah State and Idaho – to 24 or more wins in a single season.
Eustachy, who is closing in on 500 career victories, has amassed an impressive 428-267 (.616) record in 695 games as a head coach.
Under Eustachy's watch, Moby Arena has become recognized as one of the toughest places to play in the country, as CSU tallied a program-record 16-1 mark at home in 2012-13. The Rams played in front of four sellout crowds and recorded the program's best average attendance mark (5,440 per game) in 15 seasons, since the 1997-98 season drew 5,697 fans per contest.

Am I Too Jealous?
My boyfriend of a few months moved to the area about a year ago and is trying to make new friends. He's very outgoing and social. He met two girls at his apartment complex and invited them over to "hang out." He invited me, but I was so upset and jealous I didn't go. I just said I was tired. He sensed I was upset but I didn't say anything. I don't want to seem jealous. Isn't it improper to invite girls he hardly knows over to his place? I feel like he's crossing the line here. Should I not trust him? --JQuestion:

Sherry is the author of The Q&A Dating Book and Love Lessons from Bad Breakups. She has taught dating seminars, appeared as an expert... Read more
Dear J:
Whatever happened to the premise of a citizen being innocent until proven guilty? It sounds as if your boyfriend has done nothing to justify distrust on your part, except want more from life than hanging with you 24-7. (Would you really want that to be his sole ambition? Honestly now.) Plus, he invited you to his apartment, so clearly he was planning only G-rated activities with his new female friends.
Trotting out the old "I'm tired" line was not the optimal way to handle this dilemma. One cornerstone of a healthy relationship is trust; another is honesty. Level with your boyfriend. Confide that, silly as it is, his being with two girls in his apartment made you jealous. Ask how he'd feel if the situation were reversed. The moral is, always keep the lines of communication open. Sit home alone and stew in your fears and resentments and you're cooking up a recipe for romantic disaster.
The thing to stew on is why you immediately leapt to the conclusion that your boyfriend would be a snake in the apartment complex. Did previous men in your life betray you? Or do you consider yourself not worthy of someone's fidelity and devotion? Getting to the heart of your love habits now will help you avoid future heartbreak.

California graduate student awarded federal fellowship
USC Sea Grant is pleased to have Nicole Ricci in Washington, D.C. this year as a federal Knauss Fellow. Ms. Ricci was one of 38 graduate students nationwide selected as year 2000 Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellows. Fellows work in a federal legislative or executive office in Washington, D.C., during the year 2000.
Nicole Ricci is a Texas A&M graduate currently seeking her master's degree from the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Ms. Ricci has an extensive background working for the federal government, including time at the US Geological Survey's Biological Resources Division and the US Army Corps of Engineers' Fisheries Engineering Team. Ms. Ricci's involvement in report and publication editing help her to discover the lack of science based public policy. This fueled her plans to use her background in science to help formulate policy for a better relationship between science and government.
Ms. Ricci will work in the Office of the Oceanographer of the Navy, where she will participate in a broad spectrum of science and policy based projects.
The Knauss Fellowship was established in 1979 to provide a unique educational experience to students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decision affecting those resources. The fellowship matches graduate students with hosts in executive, legislative, or an appropriate association/institution in Washington D.C. for a year long paid fellowship.

HUNTSVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) People poured in White Rock Baptist Church all afternoon Thursday to pay their respects to Scott County Sheriff Mike Cross - a testament to how much the community loved him.
Cross lost his battle with cancer on Sunday. Family, friends and loved ones gathered to remember his life, including his commitment to law enforcement. He served in the field for 25 years and was passionate about making a difference. Oneida's police chief says Cross was a pleasure to work with.
"The greatest working relationship between the two departments that had ever been developed . Sharing information, drug busts, buys - just a great relationship. You couldn't ask for a better person to work with," said Darryl Laxton, Oneida's Police Chief.

Daniel McAbee of The Tangled Web on Digital Comics
'The Direct Market is NOT Dead!'
Published: 04/27/2012 03:31am
As a comics retailer for the last 16 years, I have certainly had cause to take note of our publishers' recent 'push' towards Digital Comics and Content. I don't think that it has been a secret that publishers have all been watching and waiting for the time when the right pairing of internet access numbers and the right digital device occurred so that they could directly access their end customers without need for a distributor and retailers. Honestly, it's taken a little longer than I expected to meld those numbers.
Marvel led the charge by digitizing all of their old comic libraries while making a push towards getting all of their current comics digital. DC followed slowly and curiously on their tippy-toes, waiting in the grass like a tiger watching its prey. If Marvel stumbled and got called out as 'Kingslayers,' DC could simply stay hidden and say, "Not me!" Image Comics and Dark Horse Comics waited even longer and then jumped into the ring with their big brothers. Once outed, DC tried to pass Marvel in the digital race by shouting "New Digital Comics HERE!" and Marvel quietly followed suit. 'Day and Date' digital release ensued.
Marvel has led the second charge by giving away 'free' copies of their digital comics to anyone who is willing to redeem the code. Not surprisingly, you have to create an account on their website and give them your e-mail address to redeem the 'free' comics... you know, in case they need to contact you and give you more 'free' stuff. Dark Horse decided that they would be the first to scream "CHEAP COMICS!" and offered discounts off of cover prices after only 30 days of release. In this, they confessed to being the hobo on the street corner with the sandwich boards that read "THE END IS NEAR!" (and I am treating them as such with reduced 'shelf copy' orders and considerably reduced shelf space for their products).
If you are reading this and think that this is a rant against publishers and their digital efforts-- you are wrong! Publishers have the right to do whatever they please with their properties and to believe otherwise is folly. The notion of "that's not fair!" is romantic, but in reality, it died when we left the playground in middle school. It's time for ALL comics retailers to recognize that the publishers don't need (or want) us and that we are on our own.
Having stated that, I should also say that it isn't time to shutter the blinds and go home either! Comics Retailers are still going to be sought out by readers and are still important! With all the recent digital activity, I found it strange that my comic sales numbers are actually slowly climbing. DC certainly has right to say that they saved a portion of the business by thinking (and advertising) 'outside the box' with their New 52 promotions but sadly, those numbers are already on the decline. T he thing that has NOT declined is the number of new customers saying, "What else should I be reading?" The days of sitting back on our haunches and waiting for profitability are over (and I miss those days!)
In a nutshell, I just want to say, "The Direct Market is NOT dead!" We are certainly handicapped and have more competition, but we aren't out of the game! We simply have to get up off the bench and get back to being pro-active. Merchandising, marketing and customer communication are more important than ever before, so let's re-merchandise our shelves, dust off our end-caps, and smile at everyone who comes in the door! That smile is worth more than a free digital download... and I'm betting my business on it!

Gary Machlis, science advisor to the director of the National Park Service, has been named professor of environmental sustainability at Clemson University.
Machlis' position is a joint appointment in the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management and the School of Agricultural, Forest, and Environmental Sciences. Machlis will work across Clemson colleges and departments to cultivate research and teaching initiatives in conservation and environmental sustainability.
Appointed to the position by National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis in 2009, Machlis has advised the director on a range of science policy issues and programs. In 2011, he was appointed by then-Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to co-lead the Department of the Interior Strategic Sciences Group, which conducts interdisciplinary science-based assessments during national environmental crises. He led the group's operations for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and, most recently, Hurricane Sandy.
Prior to joining Clemson University, Machlis was professor of conservation at the University of Idaho. He has also been interim associate vice president for research at the University of Idaho, and a visiting professor at Nanjing Technological College in China and at Yale University.
Machlis received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington in Seattle, and his Ph.D. in human ecology from Yale.

Also active in international conservation, Machlis has worked in China on the Giant Panda Project for the World Wildlife Fund, and has conducted research in the Galápagos Islands, the national parks of Kenya, and in Eastern Europe.
His current research activities include applying human ecology to conserving national parks; the environmental impacts of warfare and its resulting humanitarian crises; restoration of the Gulf of Mexico following the 2010 oil spill; and advancing science capacity in Haiti after its devastating earthquake. In 2010, Machlis was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
"I am deeply honored to join the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management; the College of Health, Education and Human Development; and the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences," Machlis said. "The ability to serve at Clemson while continuing work as National Park Service science advisor will allow me to partner with students and faculty in real time about the latest in parks and conservation research, and that partnership will bolster both institutions' already strong environmental efforts."
"We are thrilled to have Gary join the Clemson faculty, and know that his experience spanning academic, government and nonprofit sectors will serve the Clemson and larger communities exceedingly well," said Larry Allen, dean of the College of Health, Education and Human Development, which houses the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management. "His appointment will only enhance the university's reputation for first-rate research and teaching in local, national and international conservation and environmental development."
"Gary has demonstrated a lifelong dedication to teaching, research and outreach in conservation and environmental sustainability. His addition strengthens Clemson's commitment and capacity to develop future leaders and innovative solutions that protect parks from the stresses of habitat fragmentation, invasive species, climate change and reduced funding," said Patricia Layton, director of School of Agricultural, Forest, and Environmental Sciences.

14 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Utah
1 Arches
Arches National Park is home to over 2000 natural stone arches. The most famous of these, and the most photographed, is delicate arch, standing like horseshoe jutting out of the ground, framing the distant mountains. Numerous walking trails and hikes lead to the most popular arches and many other interesting rock formations. Arches National Park is located just outside the town of Moab. The park is considerably higher than the town and reached via a winding road with impressive views.

2 Monument Valley
The Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park is located on the Navajo Indian Reservation in southeastern Utah near the Arizona. Numerous films and commercials have been shot in this scenic area which is famous for its picturesque red mesas, buttes, and surrounding desert. The Valley Drive is a 17 mile, self drive dirt road running through the spectacular scenery. Along the route are many of the famous sights and formations, with pullout areas for viewing and photography. For ventures beyond this road visitors must use a guide, which can be arranged at the visitor center. There are also excellent views from the entrance of the park at the Monument Valley Visitor Center.
3 Zion National Park
Zion National Park features some of Utah's most outstanding scenery, with red rock cliffs, waterfalls, and beautiful vistas. The falls are particularly impressive in the spring when the flow of water is abundant. Hikers will find all kinds of awesome hikes, from simple walks along the valley floor to the famous and more demanding Angel's Landing hike. A sightseeing bus takes visitors through the park, stopping at all the major sites and trail heads. This park is less than a three hour drive from Las Vegas.

4 Canyonlands
Canyonlands National Park is Utah's version of the grand canyon. The park has three sections, but the main portion which attracts the majority of sightseers is Island in the Sky. This area has incredible vistas looking out over the carved canyons below, and beyond to the snowcapped mountains. It is arguably as impressive as the Grand Canyon in its own unique way. The other sections of the park, the Needles District and the Maze offer a little different type of landscape but are also impressive. These areas are more remote. Canyonlands is located southwest of the town of Moab. The main access point is reach by continuing along the highway beyond Arches National Park.

5 Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon, located at an elevation of 8000 to 9000 feet, is home to some interesting landscapes. The most unique features are the tightly packed stone pillars that jut up from the floor of a huge natural amphitheater. The orange colored rocks glow in the sun and contrast with the green trees. Due to the high elevation the area is cooler and receives snowfall during the winter months and into spring.
6 Park City
Park City is a popular ski destination in Utah, with several ski hills in the surrounding area. Deer Valley Resort, Canyons Resort, and Park City Mountain Resort are some of the main ski destinations in the state. The Olympic Sports Park, also located in the vicinity, was used as a venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics. While this is mainly a winter destination, there are also plenty of ways to entertain yourself here in the summer.

7 Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument
This huge area of rugged landscape receives far less visitors than the big national parks in Utah, and definitely offers a sense of remoteness. Paved and dirt roads, where a person can drive great distances without ever passing another car, run through Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The scenery is a mix of canyons, arches, hills, waterfalls, forest and scrubland.
8 Capitol Reef National Park
Capitol Reef National Park is another great place to explore Utah's interesting landscape. With canyons, rock spires, cliff walls, arches, and gorges, this park offers some great opportunities for photography, hiking, and sightseeing. This park is located west of Canyonlands National Park, but it is about a 3 hours drive between the two.
9 Cedar Breaks National Monument
Cedar Breaks National Monument is a smaller version of Bryce Canyon. It contains a spectacular natural amphitheatre with walls and rock formations that glow orange in the sun. The park has a number of hiking trails and also hosts events such as festivals and ranger programs.
10 Natural Bridges National Monument
Just under 100 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park is the Natural Bridges National Monument. There are three natural bridges, the Kachina, the Owachomo, and the Sipapu. They are accessible by short hikes from the trailhead parking lots. Also of interest are the Horsecollar Ruins with the remains of ancient Native American buildings.
11 Dinosaur National Monument
Dinosaur National Monument is known for the large number of Jurassic period fossils that have been discovered here, as well as for the lovely scenery of mountains and rivers. Dinosaur fossils can be seen embedded in the cliff wall of Carnegie Quarry. The new Quarry Hall has been built right over top of a section of the rock, allowing for close up access and comfortable conditions for visitors. Hiking, rafting, and camping are also popular activities at Dinosaur National Monument.
12 Golden Spike National Historic Site
On the north side of the Great Salt Lake is the Golden Spike National Historic Site. This is the point where the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads, starting respectively from Omaha in Nebraska and Sacramento in California, joined up. This first transcontinental railroad was completed on May 10th 1869, when the last spike, the "Golden Spike", was ceremonially driven in. The Visitor Center has an exhibition illustrating the importance of the railroad in opening up the West. The site at Promontory Summit in the Utah Territory joined 1,776 miles of rail.
13 Great Salt Lake
The Great Salt Lake, half an hour's drive northwest of Salt Lake City, is the largest inland lake west of the Mississippi, measuring 72 miles long, 34 miles wide, and up to 50 feet deep. It is a remnant of a much larger freshwater lake, Lake Bonneville. Following a fall in the water table this lake was left with no outlet and shrank as a result of evaporation, leaving the Great Salt Lake Desert. The combination of evaporation with the inflow of surface waters rich in minerals led the salt content of the lake to rise steadily, and at one stage it reached 27% (eight times as high as the world's oceans). At the south end of the lake are bathing beaches and a recreation park. Like the Dead Sea in Israel, Great Salt Lake is salty enough to allow bathers to float without sinking.
14 Mormon Temple
Standing on Temple Square in Salt Lake City is the Mormon Temple. Built in the last half of the 19th Century temple is one of the principal sites in Salt Lake City. However, the structure can only be entered by Mormons.
Address: 50 West North Temple Street, Salt Lake City

Habitat to return to Planning Board
Written by Alex Davis Tuesday, July 31, 2012 04:00 am
|< Prev
|Next >
WHITESBORO ŌĆō The Habitat for Humanity of Cape May County plans to return to the Middle Township Planning Board for approval to build more homes in Whitesboro.
Earlier this month, the Planning Board denied an application from Habitat to subdivide the Sumner Street property into lots for four single-family homes. The move came less than three months after Habitat announced at a reception in Dennis Township its plans to construct four homes in Whitesboro.
In an interview this week, Planning Board member Susan Copson said some residents fear the ramifications of having an open space area on Sumner Street, which would have been used for recreation.
So the Planning Board respected their wishes, she said.
"Although a common area was initially proposed by the Middle Township Housing Advisory Committee, Habitat is not wedded to any particular layout, and we are committed to proposing a configuration for the property that is safe and practical for the neighborhood," said Habitat executive director Shawn Lockyear in a prepared statement.
Habitat's new proposal will be favorable to everyone involved, including Middle Township, Whitesboro community and Sumner Street neighbors, she said.
Lockyear said she believes residents are concerned over any type of development on that street. She said wants to involve neighbors in helping to decide what should be built on Sumner Street.
ŌĆ£We have already invited the neighbors on Sumner Street to tour the house Habitat is currently building at 703 Reeves St., and to review and discuss ideas for developing the Sumner property,ŌĆØ Lockyear said in a prepared statement.
Residents also had worries over the number of homes proposed for the property, Copson said.
But she said two duplexes could be built on the property without a variance.
With four homes, however, Habitat needs a frontage variance, Lockyear said.
In the end, if four homes cannot be built, Lockyear isnŌĆÖt concerned. The likely option, she said, would have one of the homes be constructed on Wildwood Avenue in Whitesboro.
Habitat has other homes in Whitesboro, on land donated by Middle Township. The organization is an affiliate of the Habitat for Humanity, an international nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not going to not build,ŌĆØ Lockyear said.
As of Monday morning, neighbors have not visited the Reeves Street home that is expected to be dedicated in August. Construction on that stick-built home began in January.
ŌĆ£Ultimately, we have to reapply for something,ŌĆØ she said.
Lockyear did not want to speculate as to what the plans could be on the Sumner Street property.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre obligated in having that property donated to us to utilize it for affordable housing,ŌĆØ she said.
Lockyear said she hopes Habitat will be in front of the Planning Board again within a month or so.
ŌĆ£We look forward to presenting another application to the planning board in the near future, which we hope will leverage the property donation from Middle Township in a way that best benefits the local community,ŌĆØ Lockyear said.

When it comes to graphic design, prices vary. Cheap prices often come with cheap results. Moreover, higher prices don't necessarily guarantee the most stunning results. Nonetheless, hiring an exceptional and reputable graphic artist doesn't have to drain your wallet. To better afford and receive high-quality results, this guide will provide tips on how you can prepare your materials before commissioning a graphic designer, and save some money.
When you sit thinking of ideas for a logo, brochures, book cover, etc. you should think of every minute detail until the image or product is perfectly clear in your mind. This is crucial because you know precisely what you want while the graphic designer doesn't as he or she cannot read your mind. The designer can only use his or her best judgment to echo your instructions. The final product is as good as your efforts to describe it as thoroughly as possible.
Provide the designer with precise details beforehand if you know what you want. If you don't know exactly what you want, brainstorm, perform an online search for relevant examples, and ask for input from others because if you don't have a clue what you want, you will pay significantly more than a person who knows. Furthermore, being precise will minimize reworks and excess hourly charges. It doesn't matter if you have drawing skills or not; if you can sketch, doodle or create a concept with stick figures, your attempted illustration is still very helpful to the designer and will benefit you cost-wise. Any illustration is better than no illustration at all.
Write down exactly how your content should read, grammar-checked, spell-checked and all. It is not exclusively the designer's responsibility to switch career fields and become a copy editor. Most of your text will be copied and pasted into the design, and your mistakes may go unnoticed. It is also your responsibility to write your content out as it should appear on/in the product, be it brochures, flyers, posters, etc. The more errors found in your content, the more time will be needed for corrections. Hence, additional charges will apply for content editing.
Graphics to be used should also be readily available to the designer to help speed up the process. If you don't' have any graphics available the illustrator will have to take on the additional task of searching for relevant stock images, or creating original images, which can be pricey. As a result, you will be required to compensate the designer for this extra time. This may perhaps be the most expensive mistake of all.
Purchase Package Deals
Purchasing a package deal is a wise, economical choice. Typically, businesses need a logo, and many don't consider other coordinating correspondence to go along with it. However, coordinating correspondence portrays an image of professionalism and authority. Rather than purchase business cards or a logo at one point and then return for a letterhead and brochure subsequently, it is best to purchase a package to avoid separate transactions and extra expenses. The Corporate Identity Package is available and includes a logo, letterhead, brochure and business cards.
Be Direct
If you know what you want and are adamant about getting exactly what you want, let the artist know whether or not they are free to use their judgment, or if they need to follow strict guidelines. This will avoid any confusion and of course, extra fees needed to rework the project. If you provide strict guidelines and still wind up with something other than what you wanted, reassess your preparation tasks to confirm that you've provided enough details to allow the designer to realistically create your requests visually.
File Formats
It is also crucial that you be clear in your specifications of file formats. The designer will deliver whichever file formats are needed. Changing files formats can be time consuming, and more labor equals more money.
Know Who You're Working With
There is no need to hire a large marketing firm to create your business correspondence if you're on a budget. A freelancer or small business can be more suitable. Regardless of whichever you choose, know who you're working with in order to avoid unnecessary costs due to being misguided. It is important that you check references and portfolios. Perform an online search for reviews or testimonials. Linkedin is a great resource for testimonials.
In the world of business, image means everything. Professionally designed products, such as corporate identity and correspondence, portray professionalism, quality, and even high standards. Professional design work can also promote stability. A high-quality authoritative image is possible without breaking the bank.
