All sports fans encounter a quintessential problem before, during, and/or after an intense game: where do we eat? Where the Athletes Eat strives to give you easy access to recipes that fulfill the cravings of any sports fans, but what if you're out and about and looking for a quick bite to eat after watching a game?
Luckily, your smartphone could end up being your best friend in times like these – if it isn't already. Ever since the "Food and Drink" category went live on Apple's App store in 2012, we've seen an influx of foodie apps hit the market, with many people now preferring recipe apps over more traditional cookbooks and magazine. 888 Holdings, which powers Total Gold, claims that "Targeted marketing has helped to increase revenue year on year" and that they "have seen success in our mobile strategy, with 30% of revenue generated through our dedicated app." Today, we have thousands and thousands of food apps, but one certainly takes the cake: Evernote Food.
Evernote Food isn't geared towards sports fans, but that just means it has more support. Available for iOS and Android, it searches for new places to dine and preserves some of your home-made recipes, even some of the best eat-out moments. Aside from taking note of your daily meals, Evernote Food also allows you to access a pool of interactive recipes, pin your favorites from the list into your own virtual cookbook, and note names of restaurants for future dining.
Four basic features
As you launch the app, it displays four of its main features: Explore Recipes, My Cookbook, Restaurants, and My Meals.
Explore Recipes
It pulls recipes from a selection of food blogs pre-configured with Evernote. The manner at which the images are presented lives up to its huge thumbnail aesthetic. You can also pin (similar to Pinterest) your preferred recipe blogs on a virtual cookbook, if you want to create your own version of the dish. The app directly goes to the main website of the source for full details.
My Cookbook
After pinning certain recipes, the My Cookbook tab narrows them down into two sources: the Explore Recipes and the Evernote account. If you have a cluttered account, Evernote Food identifies and categorizes your recipes automatically into groups such as Main Course, Appetizer, Side Dishes, Baking, Breakfast, etc. However, you may encounter minor glitches, wherein the app mistakenly identifies a regular note as a recipe. In this case, you can hit the "Not A Recipe" button to remove it from the list.
The Restaurants tab narrows down a list of actual dining places. Using your device's GPS, it browses the web for the nearest bars, cafes, and hangout places, based on the keywords you typed. In PCMag's review (http://www.pcmag.com), the best feature of this tab is its ability to relate any restaurant information to your Evernote account, allowing you to access its map and menu.
My Meals
The My Meals tab employs an Instagram-like mechanism, where you can post notes and photos of the food you ate, the location, or the people you're with. You can incorporate additional information, such as the date, place, and time of the dining experience.
Logging meals
Surprisingly, logging meals is a different feature from the My Meals section. MakeUseOf said this feature is the heart of the app, serving as a diet log to record all your meals. To use this feature, there are certain field you need to fill in, including an automatic location tagging feature to share the name of the dining place with your friends. Additionally, you can view the images fully by pulling down a gripper below it.
Clipping restaurants
Clipping restaurants is also possible in the app, a feature powered by Foursquare. Aside from searching for new restaurants, you can use Foursquare to search the location of your upcoming trip. It displays a restaurant's map, address, contact information, and photos of the place. However, Foursquare will only be able to tap into the information that users provide. Thus, it works best in the cities where you've used the geolocation tool beforehand.
This sums up why Evernote Food is the best mobile tool for the food junkie. Combining a Geo-tagging feature and an Instagram-like photo-hosting service, it certainly lives up to conjure the best dining experience.

Analysts optimistic about Brunswick's long-term future
Posted onAnalysts say Brunswick Corp.'s fourth-quarter results were not surprising, with RBC Capital Markets noting that the company's liquidity position "leaves us optimistic from a long-term perspective."
Thursday, Brunswick reported a 50 percent drop in marine sales for the fourth quarter of 2008, and a 42 percent decline in total sales for the period.
Total sales for the fourth quarter were $837.7 million, Brunswick said, versus approximately $1.4 billion in the same sales period of 2007.
For the fourth quarter, Brunswick reported a net loss of $66.3 million, or 75 cents per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $12.1 million, or 14 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007.
The boat segment reported fourth quarter net sales of $293.7 million, down 54 percent, compared to $645.2 million in the fourth quarter 2007. The marine engine segment reported net sales of $297.5 million in the fourth quarter, down 46 percent from $548.6 million in the year-ago period.
"Operationally our outlook for 2009 has not materially changed," wrote Edward Aaron, of RBC Capital Markets. "However we are now forecasting a wider loss ($3.10 vs. $1.59 previously) to reflect higher pension expense … and a lack of income tax benefit."
Aaron adds that he's positive on the long-term outlook for Brunswick.
"We think the stock will become timely once the industry's supply problem is fixed," he said. "We're clearly not there yet, but we think it's a matter of quarters, not years, from here."
Tim Conder, of Wachovia Capital Markets, said Wachovia believes its 2009 earnings per share estimate of $1.59 is "reasonable/slightly conservative, as [Brunswick] will now have additional restructuring charges for January '09 plant closures vs. our original estimates."
Boat sales, he said, could be "modestly better" than current assumptions.
"Management's comments that they only plan to pursue sale leasebacks if it makes financial sense, as there is no need to do this for cash, was encouraging, along with the likelihood that once retail demand stabilizes, [Brunswick] will have to ramp up production at a 50-percent-plus rate, given '09 production plans," Conder wrote.

Widowed Spouses Pensions (Remarriage)
Work and Pensions
Mr David Drew (Stroud, Labour/Co-operative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will make a statement on the Government's policy on the loss of widows' and widowers' pension entitlement on remarriage.
Mr Malcolm Wicks (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Work and Pensions; Croydon North, Labour)
Bereavement Allowance and Widowed Parents Allowance are available to both men and women of working age who are widowed. The predecessor benefits, Widow's Pension and Widowed Mother's Allowance, were available to women only up to a maximum age of 65. Entitlement to these benefits ends if a widow or widower remarries. This is because they are intended to provide financial support in widowhood and are designed to help the widowed spouse maintain him or herself and any dependant children in the absence of the deceased spouse's income.
If a widow or widower remarries they are treated, for benefit purposes, in the same way as members of any other married couple. Other social security benefits or tax credits may be available to help support the new family depending on their circumstances.

Daniel Veniez: There are good reasons why Justin Trudeau is the Liberal front-runner
Let's face it: nine people on a stage can't have a "debate". Yesterday's federal leadership gathering wasn't one, either. But it was slightly more entertaining than the first two.
Six of these candidates should step aside and call it a day. They have no prospect of winning and they've made whatever point they wanted to make. Their vanity project has run its course and 15 minutes are up.
That includes the self-described "smart", "courageous", "tough" Martha Hall Findlay. She has made the centerpiece of her campaign trashing her former colleagues as being "afraid" and not having "substance". The irony is that the only policy she has unveiled is eliminating supply management. She did muse about raising the GST, but wisely backtracked on that one.
Hall Findlay has lost more elections than won, and this is her second run at the top job. Her record as an opposition MP was undistinguished. She lost a seat she should have won, and it took her six years to pay off her debts from her last-place finish in the 2006 leadership contest.
Despite this reality, Hall Findlay continues to suggest that her "substance" and "experience" is what we need. No thanks. Why she thinks she should be leader of the Liberal Party is a mystery.
Hall Findlay and others persist in their tiresome calls for "specific policy" and "substance". Yet, they should know that the days of three guys around the Leader in Ottawa writing a platform and releasing it like the Sinai tablets are long, long gone. Canadians are all grown up. It's about time Liberals started treating them like it. Otherwise, we're on our way to extinction as a party.
The other candidates are part sideshow, part curiosity, and unquestionably a distraction. Nice people, perhaps, and maybe even decent MPs one day. But they are far from remotely electable national leaders. Only three can legitimately claim to have earned the right to stay for the next rounds: Justin Trudeau, Marc Garneau, and Joyce Murray.
While I may differ with Murray on some of the content of her program, she has proven herself to be one tough cookie and a very serious candidate. Besides her track record of actually winning contested nominations and close elections, she has positioned herself squarely as an important voice on the "progressive" wing of the party.
Murray has a thoughtful, comprehensive, and cohesive set of ideas. And whether I like it or not, Murray has shown a lot of guts to be the lone voice and intelligent advocate for cooperation with other parties.
Garneau was a disappointment in this debate. He appeared to step out of character—perhaps on the advice of whoever is advising him—and go for the jugular last week in a vain attempt to stop the Trudeau freight train. He appeared to feel it necessary to prop himself up by diminishing Trudeau. It didn't work. It just made him look small, floundering, and somewhat frantic.
Better for Garneau to focus on his strengths and champion his ideas. Unfortunately, on that front, like Hall Findlay, although he talks a lot about "substance", a cursory view of Garneau's website shows that he hasn't released a single number to suggest how much any of what he is proposing would cost and how he would pay for it. Not one.
If Garneau is to recover from this, he should return to being the intelligent, content-driven statesman. His stature and gravitas is important to the Liberal Party and he shouldn't jeopardize it by trying to best Martha Hall Findlay in the cheap shot department.
As for the front-runner, Trudeau, he continues to impress. He has remained calm and composed all week. He never seems to panic, takes it all in stride, and stays focused on the bigger game. His understanding of the country is far superior than many give him credit for. His hopeful, optimistic, pragmatic Liberalism is entirely consistent with where most of us are.
The political operators that watch and organize these things still don't seem to get the Trudeau phenomenon. It has nothing to do with being famous for being famous, as his critics charge. It doesn't seem to have occurred to some that Canadians just might like Trudeau's ideas. Clearly they do; otherwise he wouldn't be leading the pack by every metric that matters.
Trudeau attracts massive crowds everywhere he goes. That's no coincidence and no fluke. It happens because they like what he has to say and want to hear more. And people really are, as he said yesterday, sick and tired of being cynical. They want to believe that we are better than they've been seeing out of Ottawa. Deep down, they know we are. Trudeau is the only candidate who seems to hear what Canadians are saying and is reflecting back to them the kind of leadership they so crave.
Trudeau is bypassing the Liberal Party and reaching for the hearts and minds of a broad-cross section of Canadians. He knows full well that the Liberal Party didn't create Canada; Canada created the Liberal Party. And if Liberals want to be relevant and successful again, we had better create room for Canadians in our party.
In the broad scheme of things, this is as significant, profound, and yes, "substantive" as it gets.
Daniel Veniez was the Liberal candidate in West Vancouver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country in the 2011 election. Reach him on Twitter at @danveniez.
At least JT would never sign away Canadian sovereignty in Vladivostok Russian to Communist China like the Con Man.
Laugh at this video...
that Trudeau was inexperienced, instead of
informing public how his experience would
make him a good leader.
If he feels his credentials are what is needed
in a leader,why did he focus on dimishing Trudeau's credibility as a new leader?
I've yet to see much substance from JT. So far he seems to be pandering to the lowest common denominator: Harper supporters. He also flipflops on his alleged principles continuously and relying mainly on advisors because he's inexperienced.
Attractiveness, youth and charm can go a long way in swaying voters. The Liberals know this and use it to their advantage. At the end of the day, isn't politics just a popularity contest?

East Longmeadow School Committee discusses priority projects for capital planningNov. 20, 2014 |
Chris Goudreau Any items going before the Capital Planning Committee would have to be approved by residents at a town meeting, Superintendent of Schools Gordon Smith explained. Any potential project would likely be completed after the beginning of the next fiscal year, which starts July 1, 2015. "You have two hot water tanks at the high school that are beginning to rust at the bottom and so there's a potential there for leaks," Smith said. "So what the School Committee asked me is to look at should we do that now." Smith said there isn't a national standard for a set amount of mileage for school buses. The Capital Planning Committee and the school district have agreed that when any of the district's buses reach 10 years of service, they would be put on the capital plan for replacement. Five buses in the district's fleet have met that 10-year threshold, he stated. The buses are rusting in areas such as around the steps, the wheel well near the tires, and in the student aisles. In other business, Smith said the district submitted a statement of interest for a high school building project to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). The MSBA is anticipated to respond to the district's statement of interest sometime between November and January. The next step, if the MSBA invites the district into its building program would be to conduct a feasibility study, he noted. A town meeting vote by residents would determine whether the study is funded. "It's not just going to look at full new building," Smith added. "That would be one element of the feasibility study. They might look at 'Can you solve your problems with a massive renovation? Can you do an addition?'" Starting from the statement of interest to a finished project, the overall timeline could be six to 10 years, he explained. "Our hope is that we get invited [into the MSBA program] and we're looking at maybe six years," Smith added. "However, there's a lot of things that go the right way for that to happen." Smith also presented his superintendent SMART goals for the district, which focused on student learning goals such as establishing baselines for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers exam for grades 3 through 8 this year. The committee unanimously approved Smith's SMART goal recommendations. |

I'm new at posting here, but have been reading and learning. I want a cast iron skillet but have a glass top stove. I've heard that you shouldn't use cast iron on this type of stove top, is this true? I can find all kinds of info on seasoning skillets, but nothing on using them on glass top ranges. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You are correct that you shouldn't use cast iron on this type of stove -- The bottom can scratch it. Le Creuset which is enamel over cast iron is okay since the bottom has enamel and is smooth. There are many great alternatives to cast iron skillets which will not damage your stove top. |
Thank you for clearing this up for me. What are the other alternatives? Do you treat Le Creuset cast iron differently than regular cast iron, as in seasoning, etc.? |
Le Creeuset is porcelain lined & coated externally. You don't have to do a thing, other than wash it before the first use. |

I have cast iron I have used for almost 40 years and was my main cookware for years. When I got my first smoothtop this past year, I gave away one frypan with a ridged bottom. I kept the others and use them on the smoothtop. So far no problems. One tends to spin a little, but use it mainly just to brown and then put in oven. Am careful to not slide them around much and certainly put them down carefully, but other than that no problem. They heat very fast on the smoothtop. In fact, just today, I have browned some venison on the stovetop in my cast iron dutch oven and then transferred to the oven. Works just fine! |
I also use cast iron cookware on my Dacor Ceran cooktop without a problem. I was a bit hesitant at first, but wanted the iron boost that cooking in cast iron provides, so I ordered a 4 quart Dutch oven and a smaller piece. About a month into owning them, I am very pleased. I find I reach for the Lodge Dutch oven more often than I do the All Clad. |
Thanks, I'm glad to know others have tried cast iron on a glass top stove, I may also. Are any of the enameled cast iron skillets plain cast iron on the inside? It's the cast iron I want to cook with not the porcelain lining. |
Hate to sound stupid, but porcelain is harder than iron and glass. Using a porcelain coated cookware doesn't seem logical if you are trying to prevent scatches on glass cooktops. Personnaly I haved used percelain dishes to sharpen knives when I acannot get my hands on a set of crock sticks. |

I recently purchased an aluminum clad pan at an appliance store that has a chef on-staff for demos. I spoke with him about cookware and my soon-to-be-installed glass cooktop, and he said not to use cast iron, le creuset, or glass cookware (like corning). Then he directed me to a demo area with a glass cooktop that they had used glass cookware on; the cooktop was marred with scratches. I appreciate that some folks are having good luck with these types of cookware, but I'll be following his advice. He certainly has a lot of experience, and the picture he presented was worth a thousand words! |
I'm bumming. I just saw this thread... and yesterday, I bought 4 cast iron pans from an antiques store - was a great deal. I too have a glass top oven. So now the question is, do I or don't I. |
- Posted by Stormbrewing (My Page) on Mon, Jan 31, 05 at 21:51
FWIW, I recently bought a new glass top stove and specifically asked the salesperson(who said he has been selling appliances for 19 years) if I could use my Lodge and LeCreuset cookware on it. He said that they were not a problem. The new stove replaced another glass top that was in my house when I bought it 3 years ago. In those 3 years, I didn't put one scratch it....we were just updating appliances. |

I have not had any problems or scratches so far, although the stove is fairly new. I would think common sense would tell you not to drop, drag, shake or slide them around on the cooktop. It would seem to me that a chef (who is working on a range he does not own or have to care for or replace) would not use the same care as a homeowner would. You would think they would use common sense to not damage the top, but I have seen chef's on tv use smoothtops and shake, drag and bang pans on them. I intend to continue to use mine with due caution, and if I mess up will come back and tell you all! |
On my thermador black smoothtop I was told it was okay just do it carefully. As stated above, no dragging the pan. Also some people season the outside as well as the inside. I wouldn't do this if I wanted it for a smoothtop. Glass and not flat bottom were are the big no's on smoothtops. |
Ok - this may sound crazy - but, might there be some kind of material you could put between the glasstop and the cast iron pan, to prevent scratches? I mean, they send people to the moon, why not??? :)) |

I inherited my mom's cast iron skillets which were a wedding present to her. These skillets are 62 years old and have ingraving in the bottom that say.... Griswold, and actually have a manufacturing # on the bottom of them. I use these skillets and the dutch oven on my Whirlpool Accubake Smoothtop stove everyday. I don't have one scratch on my stove top. My stove is 7 years old. This topic of scratching was also a concern of mine when purchasing my stove (since I had never owned a smooth top before). The gentleman at the store suggested to me not to use cast iron on the stove top but when I started questioning him as to if HE has ever tried it, he admitted that he didn't personally know anyone who had..... that was enough for me..... I knew that he was telling me things which he really didn't know about. I use that Weiman Cook Top cleaner and my cast iron skillets everyday and my stove looks just like the day it was delivered to me! Lifesabeach |
Thanks for all the advice. I got an iron skillet to try and the only problem I've had is I forgot to wipe oil off the bottom before using it on my cooktop. Needless to say I had to clean the cooktop. So far so good, but I am being careful. |
All good news. I'll be joining the cast iron/glass cooktop folks and trying it out soon! Thanks, Rider |

The sales men that sold me the smooth top stove told me I could not use cast iron becuase if used on high, the iron will reach higher temperatures tham the glass underneath it and break or melt the glass. I don't know if it's true so to this day I have not used it. Any thoughts? |
For what it's worth, the leaflets that come with Le Creuset cookware say it's fine for ceran tops--just lift instead of slide to be safe. With regards to heat, they also urge low to medium heat on any cooktop... |
- Posted by nemo2(email@example.com) onSun, Sep 10, 06 at 20:03
I purchased a GE cooktop stove 4 years ago. The pamphlet that came with it said that I shouldn't use cast iron cookware because the iron would retain the heat and melt the stove top. I had been using cast iron skillets for 25 years. I really miss them. Has anyone used the heat diffusers that I have read about? Would they solve this problem? |
That seems odd. I am not sure how the cookware could ever get hotter than the source heating element. No cookware, properly used, will melt on you. If you leave a pot on the burner on high without food in it, you can melt it and probably could also damage the cooktop. Again, I am not sure what makes cast iron different in that regards. The greater concern, IMO, is scratching the cooktop. Heavy cookware, especailly if the surface is not smooth, is more likely to do that. I would just be careful. I use cast iron on my glass cooktop and so far no problems. |

people will continue to argue and fight and post about what weapons they want in and out. but if you take apoll on who wants certain weapons out of the gaem you will realize that those people will most likely be form the same gametype. why cant each gametype have its own weapons?. as a ctf player i want the sheild and dodging to stay. ctf is a whole diffrnt game than dm and onslaught.in ctf i spent weeks learning sheild jumps and shock combos using target practice mods and whats the point when all the new weapons are all gonna be for you onslaught players. the only people epic seems to be listening to are the ones who dont wanna take the time to learn the game. too many people come into this game thinking its just like the others and when the realize its not, its straight here to complain about how they suck at lg. most onslaught players form the threads ive read dont wanna see hitscan in the new ut. when i play onslaught in those huge maps thats all i use. you learn how to use it and it becomes your best friend. why complain about how lg is too powerful and how leet players come in and own people with it. the new ut2007 will have the chats and pre game message boards to find players and organize games wiht peopel of your own skill. kinda liek ut2004's built in irc chat. now you can find players your skill and learn the game. no need to take out the weapons that newbs cant use that just causes the people that have been playign the game to get angry. you can excel in this game and takle it to new heights instead of other games wher you just hop up and down and its frag for frag. in other games whoever gets the first hit usually wins. not in this game...
i just wanna see difrnt weapons for each gametype to make evryone happy. just liek in each gametype ther are diffrnt maps..... ther shoudl be diffrnt weapons. that would solve alot of problems.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tyson, a Hamburg Boxer/German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Hamburg, or seeking a Boxer/German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Hamburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hamburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hamburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Boxer/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hamburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

Located in the southeastern part of the state, Russell County is known as "The County of Forts," because of the many forts that once existed within the county's boundaries, including Fort Mitchell, Sand Fort, Fort Bainbridge, and a small portion of present-day Fort Benning (most of which is in Georgia). Fort Mitchell National Cemetery, established in 1987, will be the final resting place for many veterans in the Southeast. Russell County was also the home of Horace King, an enslaved African American engineer and bridge designer who oversaw construction of many bridges in the southeast. The county is governed by an elected seven-member commission and includes two incorporated communities.
· Founding Date: December 18, 1832
· Area: 639 square miles
· Population: 52,947 (2010 Census)
· Major Waterways: Chattahoochee River, Big Uchee Creek
· Major Highways: U.S. 80, U.S. 431
· County Seat: Phenix City
· Largest City: Phenix City
Russell County was created by the Alabama Territorial General Assembly on December 18, 1832; however, the final geographical
boundaries did not exist until 1932. The county was created from former Creek Indian lands, and the remains of several Indian villages, cemeteries, and mounds may still be seen. Russell County was named in
honor of Col. Gilbert C. Russell of Mobile, a U.S. military officer who fought in the Creek Wars. Early settlement of Russell County as well as other parts of Alabama followed the establishment of Fort Mitchell. The fort was constructed by Georgia militia in 1813 during the Creek Indian
War of 1813-1814 to provide military protection for non-Indian expansion into Native American lands. Most of Russell County's
early settlers came from Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia.
The first permanent settlement in Russell County, established in 1830, was Glennville Beat. Other early settlements and towns included Cottonton, Uchee, Sandfort, Hatchechubbee, Crawford, Hurtsboro, and Girard. The Battle of Girard, which took place on April 16, 1865, was the last land battle of the Civil War. It was fought one week after General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, because of the slow pace of communication. The action ended when Union forces under Gen. James H. Wilson captured the two bridges connecting Girard to Columbus, Georgia, thus gaining access to the entire state of Georgia.
In 1832, Girard became the first county seat. A storehouse served as the courthouse from 1832 to 1834, at which time the county seat was moved to Crawford (formerly known as Crocketsville). A permanent brick courthouse was built in Crawford in 1842 and used until 1868, when it became a church. It was demolished in 1901. In 1868, the county seat was moved to Seale, where a brick courthouse was built. In 1926, Russell County established dual county seats in Seale and Phenix City. The two towns shared administrative duties until 1934, when Phenix City became the sole county seat. The courthouse in Seale served several functions after 1934, including as a school gym and meeting house. In 1974, the building was restored and now serves as a meeting place for community groups and houses the town's natural history collection.
Major Cities and Demographics
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the population of Russell County 52,947. Of that total, 53.7 percent of respondents identified
themselves as white, 41.8 percent as African American, 3.7 percent as Hispanic, 2.1 as two or more races, 0.4 percent as Asian,
and 0.4 percent as Native American. The median household income was $32,601, compared with $40,547 for the state as a whole,
and the per capita income was $17,815, compared with $22,732 for the state as a whole. The largest city in Russell County
is its county seat, Phenix City, with an estimated population of 32,822. Other significant population centers include Ladonia
and Hurtsboro.
Like most of Alabama's counties, farming was the prevailing occupation in Russell until well into the twentieth century. Cotton, corn, and cattle served as the county's main agricultural activities. With easy access to the Chattahoochee River and Georgia
markets, however, shipping and other forms of transportation became an important part of Russell's economy in the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. When the river was dammed in the 1940s, hydroelectric power led to the development of industry, including
textile manufacturing.
The workforce in present-day Russell County is divided among the following occupational categories:
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (21.5 percent)
· Retail trade (13.1 percent)
· Manufacturing (11.8 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (9.8 percent)
· Construction (8.3 percent)
· Finance and insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (8.0 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (7.8 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (5.3 percent)
· Public administration (4.4 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing, and utilities (4.1 percent)
· Information (2.5 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (1.7 percent)
· Wholesale trade (1.6 percent)
The Russell County School System, together with the Phenix City School System, employs more than 1,200 teachers and administrators
who serve approximately 8,800 students in 18 primary and secondary schools. The Phenix City branch of Troy University offers degrees in business, counseling, education, and nursing. Chattahoochee Valley Community College, a two-year institution also located in Phenix City, offers academic, technical, and vocational programs.
Encompassing 639 square miles, Russell County is located wholly within the Coastal Plain physiographic section and consists of low, rolling clay hills and sandy-bottomed rivers and streams. Russell County is bordered to the east by
Georgia, to the north by Lee County, to the west by Macon and Bullock counties, and to the south by Barbour County.
The Chattahoochee River runs along the county's eastern border, and the river's many tributaries fan out through the entire county. Because the Chattahoochee River is one of the most dammed rivers in the southeast, its physical and biological systems have been severely altered over the last half century. The overall biological diversity of the river has declined, and several fish and mussel species are at risk.
U.S. highways 80 and 431 are Russell County's major transportation routes. U.S. Highway 80 runs east-west across the northernmost
part of the county. U.S. Highway 431 runs northeast-southwest through the middle of the county. There are no public airports in Russell County, but the Columbus Airport in Columbus, Georgia, is easily accessible.
Events and Places of Interest
There are a number of recreational opportunities and historically important sites in Russell County. The Phenix City Amphitheater
is located on the western bank of the Chattahoochee River. With seating for 1,500 people, the amphitheater hosts a multitude
of civic and cultural events throughout the year. The amphitheater also serves as the anchor point for the RiverWalk walkway
and bicycle trail.
The Russell County Historical Commission-Fort Mitchell National Landmark Site is open to the public. Known as the Gateway to the West, Fort Mitchell played a significant part in the settlement history of the region and was a starting point for the Trail of Tears. Visitors can tour the 1813 fort with its defensive moat, 12-foot-high palisade, houses, and barracks. The Indian Heritage Center is located near the site of the original fort and features displays documenting the contributions and history of Native Americans in the Southeast.
The East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City hosts six classes of championship stock-car racing every Saturday night from
March to October. Special events include demolition derbies, fireworks, and sprint-car races. The Mural at Idle Hour Park,
also located in Phenix City, is 28 feet tall and 140 feet long and depicts the midway of Phenix City in the 1940s. The mural
includes scenes of carousels, trains, skating, a zoo, a dance hall, and a Ferris wheel. Russell County hosts a number of festivals each year. Thunder on the Hooch is a Fourth of July extravaganza
that takes place on both sides of the Chattahoochee River in Columbus, Georgia, and Phenix City. The event includes music,
games, carnival rides, food, arts and crafts, and fireworks. Each May, Phenix City hosts the Hometown Hoedown, which includes
country music performances, square dancing, food, and games. The annual Festival of Art takes place in Phenix City each October
and promotes the work of local artists and craftsmen.

Recently, I conducted a video interview with Carlos Luna at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. How many times do we all feel a spark of curiosity when we glimpse at the banners on the wall at MOAFL? What is that all about? Who's Carlos Luna? Oh well, I gotta get to happy hour before those full price drinks kick in. I guess I'll never know. Right? Well, this is one exhibit that's well worth seeing and Moodvane did the leg work for you, so there are no excuses like convincing yourself that it wouldn't be worth the effot (it is) or the expense ($10, which also gets you into other exhibits). Take it from a girl who wears sock hats just to silence the Captain's (Morgans) call, Luna is a dynamo and his exhibit with Picasso's ceramics is better than any cold one I've ever had.
Below: Picasso/Luna exbibit banner.
Carlos Luna, the artist. With artists, you never know what you're going to get. Every artist is different. While the rest of us prop our feet on the coffee table and gossip about people who think they're our friends, artists (who may sometimes participate in the same activities), commune with their crafts, pursue meaning or meaninglessness (whatever their bag may be) and fuse it all together to present through a sensual medium. Many artists say that their work is what it is. Why look for meaning in it? Just experience and enjoy. Carlos Luna, the 2008 Artist in Residence at Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale (not to be called Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art) is not one of those artists; each drop of paint that makes it onto the canvases that hold his rich, symbolic works is deliberate and meaningful. How do I know this? I asked him about his work, and he explained its nuances to me -- and the crowd that accumulated during the course of our conversation.
Below: Es Tarde, Ya Me Voy
Luna, the Museum's 2008-2009 Artist in Residence, walked us through his exhibit and told us all about the symbolism in his work, his feelings about MOAFL showing his work alongside Picasso's ceramics, and his life as a Cuban exile living in South Florida. The MOAFL Director of Communications and Marketing, not to mention an eloquent bilingual gentleman, Roberto Santiago accompanied us on our tour of the exhibit to translate and make sure that we didn't touch anything we weren't supposed to touch. The pieces that we discussed in depth were "El Gran Mambo" (Luna's 6-panel masterwork, an autobiographical piece that traces his journey from a young aspiring artist in Cuba to an accomplished and celebrated artist living in Miami), "Se Te Acabo El Mamey Cabron" or "Time Is Up, You Bastard", a gouache and charcoal picture on amate that depicts a skeletal figure straining under the weight of pulling Castro toward his final curtain and "Las Flores Del Regreso", a stunning image of a woman lying on top of an alligator over swirling waters that represents Luna's fantasy of returning to his homeland, which he left in 1991, at the age of 21. If/when you go to experience the exhibit for yourself, you'll want the key to getting the most out of it. Here are just a few of the gems I gleaned from my conversation with Luna. First, consider the painting below.
Below: Cafe Caliente Juliana by Carlos Luna
The two male figures in the painting, the one seated on the left and the one hovering over the female figure, are guajiros (rural Cuban men), which are common autobiographical characters that appear in many of Luna's paintings. The face that appears on the hand of the guajiro seated on the left is eleggua, a Yoruban god that appears in many of Luna's paintings as a witness or in Luna's words as "a petulant child" popping in to eavesdrop on the piece's goings-on. The airplane, another common feature in the work, represents Luna's desire to return to his homeland. The eyes, which also pervade his work, represent the feeling that everything that you do is being watched. The roosters recall the cockfighting that Luna came across as a youngster in Cuba, but they are also symbols of masculinity. All of these images work together to create stories about life in/and as an exile from Cuba, the sometimes strained and often humorous relationships between men and women and Luna's autobiographical tale of his journey as a young artist in Cuba to his time in Mexico and his life as a husband, father and artist living in Miami. Reference the Picasso ceramic below for the blog content that follows the image.
Below: Picasso Blackwood Owl, image provided courtesy of Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale.
Luna says that the best way to experience the exhibit is to start with Picasso's editioned ceramics (made at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris, France and donated to MOAFL by Miami hotelier Bernie Bercuson). Where the ceramics end, Luna's exhibit begins. Below, we posed with Carlos Luna (to my right) after the interview.
Below: MOAFL marketing director Roberto Santiago, MOAFL Artist in Residence Carlos Luna, Courtney, Chris.
Another work that really blew my mind was "El Pastel y Las Moscas". The beautiful (and in this case nude) woman represents Cuba (though she is also just a beautiful woman), surrounded by airplanes that have a phallic aspect.
It's difficult to express in writing how interesting this exhibit is and how much fun it was to get to hear Luna talk about his work. The video of my conversation with Carlos Luna will appear soon right here on Intown 411.
The Carlos Luna/Pablo Picasso exhibit will run through February 23 at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. Admission to the museum is $10 for adults, which grants access to this exhibit and the Museum's Coming of Age exhibit, which traces the developments in American painting from the 1850s to the 1950s -- a Georgia O'Keefe and a Jackson Pollock are currently on display.

Eurovision 2013 Song
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
| Posted by
argapranaya zikri
Eurovision's voting often provides as much entertainment as the song contest itself, with colourful hosts and pithy commentary.
But now an apparent voting anomaly has left Russia complaining about an "outrageous incident".
Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic, is trying to find out why the votes announced on the night did not give any points to Dina Garipova for her entry What If .
And Russia is investigating an alleged vote theft.
Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov met Azerbaijan's foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov, who said the country's mobile phone operators reported Russia came second in the local vote, which would have given Dina 10 points.
She is also reported to have scored highly with the jury.
Mr Lavrov called it an "outrageous incident". He added: "When 10 points have been stolen from our participant it doesn't please you, particularly in the way the event is organised.
On the night Azerbaijan awarded its points to Ukraine (12), Georgia (10), Malta (8), Belarus (7), Romania (6) Denmark (5), Greece (4), Lithuania (3), Norway (2), Moldova (1).
Russia gave Azerbaijan a 12-point maximum.
With 39 countries taking part, Russia received points from 29 of them, with Malta, Romania, Greece, Italy, Norway, Austria, San Marino, Albania and Switzerland the other countries not to give them any points.
Russians take Eurovision very seriously and won in 2008 with Dima Bilan. This year's entry finished fifth overall on Saturday , 17 points behind fourth-placed Norway.
Azerbaijani television is investigating. It was unclear where any mistake or vote manipulation might have occurred.

Worst animal cruelty cases
ANIMAL cruelty has sadly increased in the UK in the past 12 months. Today, The Sun Online profiles the most shocking incidents of animal cruelty in the past year.
In the most disturbing case a woman put her cat, Fluffy, in a washing machine on a boil wash cycle killing it within 10 minutes.
Fluffy broke all her claws as she struggled to free herself from the machine.
Holly Thacker from Norwich was jailed for six weeks and banned from keeping pets for life.
RSPCA Inspector Rob Melloy said: "In my seven years as an inspector I have never come across anything as heartless as this.
"It was a deliberate act of cruelty and she knew the cat would die in the washing machine."

U.S. Senate candidate Dirk Adams has suggested to voters he's ready to be a senator who makes Montana proud. After hearing him speak at a Lewis & Clark County Democratic Central Committee meeting, it's clear he is on a dark path in pursuit of the power of a U.S. senator.
When given the opportunity to talk issues, he went on an emotional tirade against candidates and elected officials indicating he is not prepared to conduct himself respectfully, with the statesmanship required to get things done.
He said public employees are not public servants.
It was my conversation with him as we were adjourning that was most disturbing. Adams, whose views would economically devastate Montana, made headlines for declaring "coal is dead" and opposing the Keystone XL Pipeline. I confronted him on this, saying coal is not dead. He leaned in and told me that's what he has to say to get elected.
It appears none of us know what Adams really stands for. We need people of integrity and conviction in the U.S. Senate. With all due respect, Adams is not one of those people.

Manhattan from Above
The Andy Rooney Story
Andy Rooney died yesterday. He was 92. I've been watching 60 Minutes as long as I can remember. My parents would always put it on every Sunday which was usually dinner time in my house and that generally meant that I watched it too.
Andy Rooney didn't begin his show-ending monologues until 1978 when it replaced the Point/Counterpoint segment featuring Shana Alexander and James Kilpatrick. I didn't take much notice of Rooney until I was a teenager in the 1980s and had taken an interest in writing and journalism and harbored dreams of being a newspaper opinion columnist. Rooney personified the folksy, grumpy, common-sense curmudgeon and could make you roll your eyes, but sometimes could also make you wish you'd just said what he said.
In the years I watched him hold forth on subjects as varied as chairs, the Super Bowl, the job of the US Presidency, umbrellas, ice cream cones, barbers, and the random items found in people's backpacks, I had always wanted him to do a segment on books.
It seemed an obvious Rooney segment. Always touched with a gift for making a larger point to say about something small from his own experience, I just knew that one day he would finally get around to giving TV viewers a tour of the bookshelf behind his desk. Years passed and it never came, and yet my curiosity persisted. Finally in 2007, working late one night in my office at BusinessWeek I wrote a short email to 60 Minutes with the subject line "For Andy Rooney":
Dear Andy,
I've watched your segments on "60 Minutes" every Sunday since I was a very young kid. I didn't always get what you were saying, but I got enough to know that I liked you. It probably had something to do with me getting into the media business myself.
All these years you've talked about the silly things that people send you, your junk mail, the mess on your desk, the stuff you find in your attic and other curiously revealing trivia. But I've always wanted to know more about what we see in the background behind you every week: Your bookshelf.
When I visit someone's home I sometimes find it interesting, if I can do it politely, to peek at what's on their bookshelf. You've been inviting me and millions of other people into your office for years. As someone who like you, values the written word and the simple pleasure of reading a great book, I'm curious about what's on that bookshelf of yours and why. I doubt it's junk, and I'm certain it would be revealing. How about a little tour?
I'm certain Rooney never read that email, and though I can't prove it, I'm betting his producer did. Because two months later, Rooney closed the April 22, 2007 edition of 60 Minutes with a segment that included a few of his favorite books (Link goes to the video, which is not embeddable). They were: three dictionaries; a heavily used edition of Modern English Usage by Henry Watson Fowler. Walter Lippman's A Preface To Morals; four leather-bound volumes by Charles Darwin; and the fifth edition of The Modern Researcher by Jacques Barzum and Henry Graff, also heavily used.
Over the years of watching I noticed two others, one I recognized because I own it, and one I recognized because I knew of it. The one I own, and which is plainly visible in Rooney's final commentary is Russell Baker's The Good Times, a memoir of Baker's years as a reporter for The Baltimore Sun and columnist for The New York Times, often neglected in favor or his better-known personal autobiography Growing Up. The other, which I know by reputation is Words on Words by the late, legendary journalism professor John Bremner.
Two years later I got the chance to meet Rooney. The occasion was the 2009 Deadline Club Awards dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. I was a finalist in the science and technology reporting category, for a series of stories I wrote for BusinessWeek.com called "Unconnected America," which examined how the lack of access to broadband Internet connections affected people in various walks of life and in different places. I lost out to a Time Magazine cover story, "The Clean Energy Myth."
There was, before the banquet, a cocktail party lasting an hour or so, and Rooney happened to be there. And I noticed that my then-colleague, BusinessWeek writer David Kiley was talking to him rather enthusiastically at a set of chairs surrounding a table, as if he knew him well. It turns out he did, so ventured over to where they were sitting and waited for a chance to introduce myself.
It came. I told him about the letter I had written him and before I could get to the part of his segment on books, he cut me off.
"And I didn't write back, right?"
"No, but I didn't expect you to," I said. Then I told him about the segment on books, and that I had always been curious about them because I had been watching so long. "Since I was a kid," I said.
"Well how old are you?" I was 38 at the time, but my answer was "I'm not quite 40."
At this he got a little indignant. He called across the table to a female friend he referred to by her last name — I didn't catch it. "You're really 39? Hey, do you believe this guy is 39?" he said to her.
"If he is he's very lucky," she said to him and grinned at me.
Then he looked back at me. "Well you look older."
I couldn't argue with that. And I couldn't help but smile at having been insulted by Andy Rooney.
Paul McCartney At The Ed Sullivan Theater
A friend called up one day this week and told me to meet him downstairs. He was sort of mysterious about why, but he told me to bring a camera. I agreed and met him on the corner of 49th and 7th and we walked a few blocks uptown. Below is what we saw from outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, as recorded by the CBS cameras, (HD version here) but you can see it how I saw it here and here. Thanks to Thomas for insisting.
Ten Years Of Listening For ET
Ten years ago today, on a whim, I got involved with the SETI@Home project. It was something a certain kind of geek did at the time, and the result was that you had an interesting-looking screen-saver running on your computer.
As you may or may not know, SETI stands for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Life. And the project involves a few million people donating the use of their computer when they're not using it, to the analysis of data taken from radio telescopes. This is something that used to be handled by supercomputers, and usually on the US Government's nickel, that is until funding was cut in the mid-1990s. Those radio telescopes are basically listening for any hint of radio signals from somewhere else in the universe — that is evidence of intelligent life.
It's one of those big questions that people ponder from time-to-time: Are we alone in the universe? I first began to think about it seriously when I was eight or nine. I read "The Star Wars Question And Answer Book About Space" cover-to-cover several times. It contained a section on radio astronomy that was rather sophisticated for a kid's book. Among other things it covered a basic explanation — but notably no illustration — of the Arecibo Message sent to the star cluster M13 located 25,000 light-years away. It also included sections on the Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft, and the golden record placed on the Voyager probes, but for obvious reasons, no pictures of the message engraved on the Pioneer plaques.
By the time I was 12 or 13 I had a subscription to Discover Magazine, had seen the film ET, and had also watched much of Carl Sagan's Cosmos on public television. The March 1983 issue of Discover had Sagan on its cover, trumpeting the launch of a new effort to search seriously for life in space. (Summary of the issue here.) Within its pages I first learned about Frank Drake who predicted that we would find intelligent life by 2000, and was first exposed to the concept of a von Neumann space probe. It arrived in the mail on a day when I was home sick from school, and I devoured it, learning more from it than I probably did in any science class I would take.
In his TV series, Sagan made an argument (which I now know was borrowed in part from Drake) that fascinated me. When you consider the number of stars in the galaxy, which is about 400 billion, the chance that there's life out there, and that it's intelligent isn't unspeakably far-fetched, but by a reasonable stretch of argument, plausible. (Though Sagan's own math is off on one point: In the clip below he says our solar system has 10 planets, when the accepted orthodoxy at the time was nine. It's now eight. In the early 80s, when Cosmos was made, Pluto was still considered a planet, rather than a Kuiper Belt Object. Thank you, International Astronomical Union.)
In any event, the thought that I could help out in even a small way with the effort of finding a signal from somewhere out there, however remote the chance of success, has kept me mildly entertained these 10 years. As of today my computers have contributed 229,235 work units, comprised of 198.06 quadrillion floating point operations to the effort. (That's 198,060,000,000,000,000 or an average of 54.2 trillion operations per day.) Plus I've earned credit for another 3,053 work units under the original "classic" SETI@Home program, which works out to 33,319 hours of computing time.
By SETI@Home standards, my numbers aren't impressive. I rank somewhere at about 38,000th place among its base of users. A team I'm involved with, SETI.USA, has a few members who have reported more than 10 million work units, and many more who have stats north of the 1 million and half-million mark. I've never been quite as disciplined about keeping my machines running the program as I might have been. But when I learned that the 10-year anniversary of my participation was coming up, I had hoped to push my machines to the point of having finished 250,000 units, and have paid close attention to my progress in recent weeks. I have four computers running SETI@Home: Three at home, including my newly purchased MacBook Pro, and one at the office which runs it only when I'm not there. Obviously I didn't hit the goal I had hoped for, but will probably see that number before the end of the summer.
I was interested to see the video below of a talk by SETI's chief scientist Dan Werthimer, and for once to see a face on the other end of the SETI@home process. It's been fun to have been a small part of the biggest supercomputer on the planet and the largest computation that's ever been done. Still, no signals yet.
Some Things From The Vault
One of the reasons I switched to WordPress was for its ability to easily create static, non-blog pages within the context of a blog-like site. My one unending project has been to collect as much of my published work in one place as as I can, if nothing else so that I have a place where I can find each story. After publishing for the better part of two decades, the job of finding and organizing everything, then building a Web page to house it all, is rather large.
This weekend I built two pages comprised of old stuff. The first will be interesting really only to those who care about the long slow demise of the newspaper industry and its various early flirtations with the Web. During 1997 and 1998, my first job out of grad school was at New Century Networks, a joint venture of nine newspaper companies to combine forces and content on the Web. The company briefly produced a site called NewsWorks that is barely remembered except for its unspectacular shuttering in the cold March of 98. On my last day in the office I salvaged the files of a few packages I had worked on to a Zip disk and have since preserved them in their original format. You can see the results, along with my own reflections on the experience here.
The second page I produced is basically a republishing of my old 1990 Bungee Jumping story written in my last term as a community college student. The realization that I wrote it 18 years ago gave me a bit of a shiver.
I did go on to Bungee jump a few more times. There was one more trip to Blue River Dam in the fall of 1991, and another to a privately owned bridge in 1992, where myself and a friend had organized a film crew to shoot some footage of the group of University of Oregon students we took with us. One of my great regrets in life is that I lost my copy of that tape. If you were on that trip and have a copy, please contact me, because I am desperate to transfer it to DVD and from there to the Web. I jumped one more time in Las Vegas in 2002. It wasn't quite as fun as jumping in the great outdoors. I had a tape made of that jump but lost it as well.

Boston's Dempster suspended 5 games for hitting A-Rod
NEW YORK -- Ryan Dempster of the Boston Red Sox has been suspended for five games and fined $2,500 by Major League Baseball for intentionally hitting Yankees star Alex Rodriguez with a pitch.
The penalty was announced Tuesday by MLB senior vice president Joe Garagiola Jr. He also fined Yankees manager Joe Girardi $5,000 for arguing with plate umpire Brian O'Nora on Sunday night.
The Red Sox have two games off in the next week so Dempster is unlikely to even miss a start.
Dempster could still play if he decides to appeal the penalty.


text: SPRINGFIELD While most Massachusetts residents say the national economy is still in bad shape, they are becoming increasingly optimistic that the economy will improve in the coming year, according to the latest survey from the Western New England College (WNEC) Polling Institute. The telephone survey of 522 adults, conducted Oct. 18 through 22, found that 88 percent rated the national economy as "very bad" or "fairly bad." But nearly half of the statewide sample 45 percent said they expect the economy to get better over the next 12 months. Only one-third of adults made the same prediction last February, the last time the Polling Institute surveyed Massachusetts residents about the economy. In addition, 30 percent also said they expect their personal financial position to improve over the next 12 months, compared to 22 percent in February. The poll has a margin of error of +/- four percent. But the increase in economic confidence may not translate into robust spending during the upcoming holiday shopping season. Half of those surveyed said they would spend the same amount on gifts this year as last year, and 47 percent said they would spend less. "Massachusetts residents are hopeful about the economy, but they are also very cautious," Tim Vercellotti, associate professor of political science and co-director of the WNEC Polling Institute, said. "They're not necessarily in the mood to start spending again." In the latest survey, adults with a high school education or less were most likely to hold a negative view of the economy, with 60 percent rating it "very bad." Senior citizens were most likely to offer a positive assessment, with 18 percent of those 65 and older saying the economy is "fairly good." Optimism that the economy will bounce back was greatest among those with a college degree or annual household incomes of $100,000 or higher. More than half of adults in each category said they expect the economy to improve in the next 12 months. But optimism has its limits. Only two percent of those completing the survey said they plan to spend more on gifts this holiday season compared to last year; those saying they would spend the same or less accounting for 97 percent of the sample. Even among those numbers, however, there were signs of improvement. While 47 percent said they would spend less this year, 60 percent gave that answer a year ago. "Some people who cut back last year may be deciding to hold their spending steady this year, instead of cutting back further," Vercellotti said. |

what if the all the teams got together and had a huge smoke out on the field somewhere would they fire all the teams and not have football?
Dear Stoner: I'm reading a Sports Illustrated/MMQB article that says "a lot of [NFL] players suggest that marijuana is one way to heal their bodies." So if a Bronco gets legal medical marijuana in Colorado and then fails an NFL drug test, who wins?
Not At All Related to Patricia Calhoun
Dear NAARTPC: To our knowledge, that issue hasn't yet come up in the NFL — but the answer is that the NFL would treat a player smoking medical marijuana to deal with pain from running full-speed into another human being again and again over a three-hour stretch every Sunday much the same as it would treat a player who's lighting up just to get baked. That is, the NFL would freak the fuck out.
Compared with other professional sports entities, the NFL has a pretty harsh policy. For example, the NBA allows players to bomb three drug tests before they're suspended. Even the World Anti-Doping Administration has increased its tolerance for cannabis, allowing international athletes competing in events like the Winter and Summer Olympics to have up to 150 nanograms in their system. Now all the pro snowboarders can smoke up until the week of the superpipe event and still be eligible to compete.
The NFL, on the other hand, would fine them and suspend them from playing; length of suspension would be up to Commissioner Roger Goodell. But he levies heavy penalties even when players aren't technically caught using pot. Look at Von Miller's six-game suspension earlier this year for violating the NFL's drug policy. Miller didn't even fail a drug test; he just paid someone else to take it for him.
But even with all of that, it wouldn't surprise us to find out that there are Broncos with red cards. Chronic pain is the reason that most medical marijuana cardholders in this state have an MMJ recommendation, and it's no secret that football players live most of their lives dealing with it. Former Broncos running back LenDale White, a Denver native, was even spotted at the High Times Cannabis Cup, in the patients-only section, checking out the dope displays and massive dab sessions just like every other bleary-eyed person there.
Dear Stoner: Is it illegal to purchase used grow lights on Craigslist?
In the Dark
Dear ITD: Not only is it legal, but it's a great way to find cheap grow equipment used for only one or two harvests by someone who finally realized they didn't like growing pot as much as they thought they would. What you can't do, however, is trade cannabis for those lights.
what if the all the teams got together and had a huge smoke out on the field somewhere would they fire all the teams and not have football?
Dear Bong-sucking Stoner,
How does the Colorado Bar Association feel about corrupt shyster Marijuana McLawyers who deliberately ignore their Professional Code of Ethics by willfully violating numerous Federal Felony drug and money laundering laws as they counsel, aid and abet their criminal clients in the operation of their Continuous Criminal Enterprises -- e.g. marijuana dispensaries. ??
How can an honest stoner know that the $$ they paid for "legal advice" is actually competent and accurate, and not simply wasted cash on a soon-to-be disbarred and indicted co-defendant ?
Your pal,
Jah Donkeyhotay
Bonus question: How many corrupt unethical lawyers can fit in a standard 8'x10' jail cell?
[ It's an open-book quiz, and you can use your calculator if necessary ]
Quick Tip on used gear.
Clean it twice. You should be cleaning everything before it gets near your grow room, used gear deserves an extra deep clean as there is no telling what sort of life it's had.
@tony514 ... What if stoners weren't so stupid, would pot still be illegal?
Here is a question for you, donkeyhotay:
Do you think it should be legal for anyone to buy marijuana from a store?
Looking forward to your reply.
A64 does NOT allow anyone to buy marijuana from a store, or anywhere else.
YOU, and the rest of the A64 fools and tools, explicitly DENIED EVERY ADULT under 21 any legal access to recreational marijuana -- from a store or even home grown -- leaving them exposed to ALL EXISTING CRIMINAL statutes in Colorado, many of them FELONIES.
Why are you such a vile self-serving prohibitionist ?

I have (4) of these shrubs. (3) are doing very well. This particular one is thinning out and yellowing:
It's about 2 feet away from another evergreen shrub/tree (sorry don't know the type, but here's the pic): The yellowing shrub has been in the ground for about 10 years now and just started this a year or so ago. Wondering if the close proximity to the other shrub is causing a moisture issue, crowded out, etc? Don't see where there's any insect problem. Is this possibly an iron issue? Hate to lost this one. Any help is appreciated! Sorry the pics are that large! |

Its called being pruned to within an inch (less actually) of its life. In this case literally. time, a bit of fertilizer-and restraint with the hdge trimmer-will work wonders. as for the reason...evergreens are not evergreen because they never lose thier foliage. The only lose old foliage and this is usually covered by the emergence of the new. In this case, nearly all of the new was cut back revealing the process of senence in the older foliage. |
Thanks. Yeah, the finance' gets a little out of control with the clippers. What fertilizer would you recommend? Thanks! |
