(Irving, TX) – Today's statewide average price at the pump is $3.46 per gallon, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. That price is one cent more than last week and six cents more than last year. The national average is now $3.65, which is 19 cents more per gallon than in the Lone Star State. Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in the state, drivers in Dallas and Fort Worth are paying the most at $3.53 per gallon while drivers in Amarillo are paying the least at $3.37 per gallon.
Elevated global oil prices have kept a relative floor under retail gas prices for motorists. Oil markets are keeping a close eye on simmering geopolitical tensions, most notably those in Ukraine and Libya, for developments that might impact global supply. Although drivers in a majority of states and the District of Columbia are paying a year over year premium, Texas is among the top ten states with the least expensive gas price averages in the country.
"As people plan for road trips during the upcoming summer months, we encourage them to keep cars and trucks maintained according to their vehicle manufacturer's recommendations," said AAA Texas/New Mexico Representative Doug Shupe. "Before any road trip it's a good idea to pull out the vehicle owner's manual and make sure all the recommended maintenance is complete to maximize your car or truck's fuel efficiency."
To help members and non-members identify quality auto repair shops that can assist in the maintenance and repair of their vehicles, AAA offers the Approved Auto Repair program as a free public service. AAA-approved repair facilities meet and maintain high professional standards for training, equipment, cleanliness and customer service. Motorists can look for the Approved Auto Repair sign at local auto repair facilities, or search for a nearby AAA-approved shop online at AAA.com/Repair. AAA Texas can be visited on the Internet at www.AAA.com. Follow AAA Texas on Twitter: @AAATexas and Facebook: www.facebook.com/AAATexas.

Art that gives light Sharron from Chantilly, VA– Verified Buyer The Chandelier looks exactly as pictured. It add a dramatic flair to my foyer. It is a beautiful piece of sculpture that also lights my entryway. I was looking for something different and this matches my vision perfectly. |
Beautiful, sculptural piece Rebecca Rubenstein from Ridgewood, NJ– Verified Buyer After waiting many months on back order, we finally received this chandelier. The fixture exceeded my expectations...it is like a functional piece of art and so beautiful. I ordered the thirty 25 watt light bulbs from 1000bulbs.com and the wattage was perfect, and dimmable. My husband was able to install it himself with my help (I held the fixture up as necessary.). Installation was not easy but not terribly difficult either. Very happy with this purchase!!! |
Designer Justin from Boston, MA– Verified Buyer Absolutely stunning and perfect for a modern home. I'm so happy I bought this. |
wow chandeliet fa from brooklyn, NY– Verified Buyer modern and sleek easy to put up wish it came with bulbs |
too much Meghann from New York, NY– Verified Buyer I've been living with this light for 9 months now and I still can't decide if I like it or not. the important thing to know is that you absolutely must put it on a dimmer. otherwise you will feel like you are living on the surface of the sun. |
Gorgeous and sexy! Egg from Minnesota– Verified Buyer Hung it w/ 15 watt satin globe bulb. Really a beautiful, quality piece. At our party last Sat night got many complements. Would highly recommend. |

Hello, A couple of days ago received two young fiddleleaf fig plants. They each came in a 4" growers pot. I put both of them in this 6" pot. Is this enough room for them or should I move them to the 9" pot I originally wanted to put them in. I put them here thinking the 9" pot would be too big for them. If moving them to the bigger pot is best, should I wait until they've settled a bit first? Also, at what rate does this plant grow? I know it won't happen overnight, but I'm looking forward to Fred & Ethel here growing into a pretty "tree" Lastly, the plants came with tiny brown spots on some of it's leaves. Would that be just from being shipped or is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks, |

Steven Herteleer who has gone around the world sans luggage, plane or hotel stay
Ah! The world trip — this is the big holiday for which you make long checklists of things to carry along. But Steven Herteleer, a French photographer, who left home in June 2011 for a two- year world trip decided to travel with no luggage except his toothbrush, credit cards, passport and memory cards. Leaving his lucrative job at L'Oreal, Steven's compulsive urge to explore himself led him to embark on an extra-ordinary journey governed only by the wilderness rules (zero planes, zero luggage, zero hotel). Without his phone, guidebooks or even a watch he set off on a seemingly boundless voyage on a sailboat from France to Rio de Janeiro. At a time he used only a pair of clothes which he used to wash and wear every day.
Here Steven talks about his wild odyssey:
The rules
I decided to write a book on my world trip and to make it adventurous I added the rules. The 'no luggage' rule was comfortable as I would arrive in a city with my hands in my pocket! I didn't want to stay in a hotel as I would be in a tourist bubble. I couch surfed at people's houses and adapted to their way of life. It helped foster cultural exchanges. I directly approached people and also used a couch surfing website. I have stayed in Kathmandu in a house that had no windows or a shower but was owned by a man with a heart of gold. I have also stayed with affluent families. When I didn't find a place I used to go to a discotheque and party all night and during the day nap in the park or sleep on the beach when I was in Thailand.
I didn't take a flight because I wanted to trace a line on the ground with my steps, to see each centimetre of my progression. I didn't want to be dropped into a new culture as I gradually wanted to experience the change.
The downside
I was kidnapped at the Peru-Ecuador border, 3 gunmen drove me out of the city. Knowing Spanish I understood their plan and opened the door and yelled. The startled driver lost speed and I jumped out of the car. Luckily I found another car to drive me back and I had a narrow escape. Another time I was in China trying to survive with three U.S. dollars as my card wasn't working. I tried getting a free ticket on the train and found a host and even invited him to eat a burger with that money. Another challenge was in Uruguay where I had to sleep on a cold, dangerous street where I could see people almost walk over me.
The upside
I was in Antarctica for two months and saw a million penguins. The adventure of being lost in a boat on a continent where there are only 100 people at any time is inexplicable. Some other memorable experiences were braving the storms at Cape Horn, seeing the launch of a satellite, swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean among huge fish, sailing in Antarctica between icebergs, mountaineering at a height of 6300m, riding with a biker gang on a Harley Davidson, living in Brazilian slums which are the most dangerous in the world, and being on a cargo ship in the pirate-infested waters off Somalia.
I was at the Maha Kumbh Mela where I lived with sadhus, slept on the floor, ate their food, dressed like a local and bathed at 4 a.m. It was an amazing experience seeing millions of people all around.
The discovery
I discovered myself, the planet and the people on it. It's ironic we travel to explore the world but in reality we actually explore ourselves. I already knew it, but you only live once.
If there was a travelling contest Steven would win hands down for his journey on which he found himself, made audacious choices, worked for himself as a freelance photographer, fell in love multiple times and learnt to say 'yes' to everything that came his way.

The hubby poured a "raised" concrete porch in front of the home, I do not like it. Please recommend an affordable way to dress up the concrete. I've considered putting some tile on it, but have so many irons in the fire, need something affordable that will look good. I think I will plant some boxwoods in front of it, but there will still be concrete showing... *It stands about 2.5-3feet off the ground level.
Thanks! |

Yes, I understand ... concrete contractor for remodeling job made a big mistake pouring my front concrete porch, the shape is wrong. The angle does not lead to the front door, as planned. Here are some options I'm considering...1) covering it with flagstone- you can use any pavers- need to consider the thickness. They can be set in with sand mortar. 2)covering it with tongue and groove porch material called AERATIS- AERATIS looks like wood, can be painted with porch flooring or ordered in wood tones. 3) DIY acid etching or staining. You can stain it solid color or semi-transparent. Box stores carry them , like paint in price. Basically you just apply them like paint. If you did not seal the concrete , that is even better. I searched the internet and saw some very beautiful finishes. You can also be creative. A light and dark color together created some lovely effects as per the pics. I figure if it chips I can keep the gallon on hand for touch ups. (this will not help me b/c it is the shape I am changing) but I am considering this for other areas of concern. You did not say what you don't like about your concrete porch. For what its worth ... it may not be perfect or as you imagined but in the scheme of things... the boxwoods around it, hanging planters and whatever else you put on the porch it'll dress it up so that I wonder if others will notice what you are seeing. I'm at the age and with enough been-there and done-that experiences that since hubby did all that work for you no matter what you can be proud of him and show it off for that reason. It might help if you let us know what you don't like about it OR what you finally decide to do. |
I just finished doing something similar to my ugly concrete front porch - used concrete stain (not acid) in multiple colors to look like bluestone, then grinded grout lines between the stones and sealed it. Looks very much like real stone and didn't cost very much to do. You may want to try something like this. |
I know this was a long time ago but jhyattmd, do you happen to have any pics of your stained patio? We're going to have a new plain slab poured for our old broken up patio and I'm trying to decide how I might dress it up with stain. |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Familiar feeling
New Space series isn't the first to deal with cloning, but it puts a fresh face on the idea of multiple identities
Poor Sarah just isn't herself today.
In fact, she's someone else altogether. Or perhaps several someone elses, all rolled into one.
Sarah, as sci-fi fans are about to learn, is the perplexed sort-of heroine in the new Space network series Orphan Black, which premières Saturday, March 30, at 8 p.m. She's a troubled soul, a disenchanted loner and a directionless orphan, right up until the moment she watches a woman commit suicide by stepping off a railway platform into the path of a moving train.
The thing is, just before witnessing the woman's death, Sarah (played by Regina-born actress Tatiana Maslany) caught a glimpse of her face. It was like looking in a mirror.
Sarah, something of a grifter and thief, senses an opportunity. As police and onlookers rush to extricate the body from under the now-stopped train, Sarah walks nonchalantly to the corner where the woman left her coat and purse in a neat pile. She grabs whatever's valuable and makes a hasty exit.
In the purse, she finds a wallet, cash, a couple of cellphones and the keys to an apartment. It occurs to Sarah that this woman -- this woman who, until the moment train met body, was the spitting image of Sarah -- had a pretty cushy life.
The best plan, Sarah concludes, is to dump her own crappy existence and assume the identity of Beth.
Of course, doing so is bound to be complicated; Beth has/had a life and friends and a boyfriend and a career and all the complications that being a person in a big city entails.
But it's more convoluted and dangerous than just that. There's another thing -- the thing that Sarah is forced to confront as she bluffs her way into Beth's world: the fact that Beth, a cop under suspension for shooting a civilian during an on-the-job gunfight, was on the verge of exposing a big secret that someone will go to great lengths to keep concealed.
There's a reason Beth looked so much like Sarah. And why a German stranger who conceals herself in Beth's car looks exactly like both of them. There's sinister science afoot, and Sarah is increasingly sorry that she ever stepped into Beth's world.
Orphan Black, a co-production of Space and U.S. cable's BBC America, doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel when it comes to multiple-identity/clone-experiment fiction, but it revisits this familiar ground with a style and modern attitude that make it feel fresh.
Maslany is solid, if not spectacular, in a role that demands her to explore multiple personalities and a variety of accents, and the supporting cast is strong -- Jordan Gavaris as her stepbrother, Felix; Michael Mando as her abusive ex-boyfriend, Vic; Kevin Blanchard as her demanding police-squad partner, Art; and Maria Doyle Kennedy as her stepmother, Mrs. S., who clearly brought Sarah and Felix to North America to escape something evil in the U.K.
Viewers demanding quick answers won't get what they want from Orphan Black, which doles out its secrets sparingly. But patience will be rewarded by a slow-to-unfold storyline that gets more intriguing with each episode. It might not make anyone's list of must-see shows, but this one certainly deserves mention as a "should-see" TV offering.
-- -- --
Also in Space's lineup is the return of Doctor Who, which resumes its seventh season (press materials call this Season 7B) on Saturday, March 30, at 8 p.m. Matt Smith is back as the Doctor in a new episode titled The Bells of St. John, which is set in the present and involves an evil presence that has infiltrated the Wi-Fi realm.
Jenna-Louise Coleman joins the cast as Clara Oswald (no relation, I'm pretty sure), the latest companion to join the Doctor on his time/space travels.

The Type 1 incident management team that has been in charge of the five fires within the Southeastern Montana Complex handed its duties to a smaller Type 3 team Thursday evening as firefighting efforts continued to wind down.
All five of the fires — the Ash Creek, Taylor Creek, Powerline, Horse Creek and Coal Seam fires — are 100 percent contained.
High winds and thunderstorms sitting over the complex Wednesday afternoon kept crews busy patrolling fire lines and making sure lightning strikes didn't ignite new blazes.
Fire crews did mop up one hot spot east of Fort Howes close to the containment lines of the Taylor Creek fire, while sawdust piles that had caught fire within the Ash Creek fire kicked up flames and smoke, although they were well within containment lines.
The fires have burned about 325,000 acres since late June.
As the fire activity is dying down, so is the number of resources on the fire. As of Thursday morning, there were 390 personnel on the fire, down from nearly 600 on Wednesday. The five hand crews were assisted by 27 engines, 12 dozers and graders, five water tenders an a pair of helicopters.
An informational meeting organized by U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg, R.—Mont., was held Thursday night in Ashland at the St. Labre School auditorium to help livestock owners affected by the complex's largest fire, the Ash Creek fire, which has burned more than 249,000 acres.
Representatives from the Farm Service Agency, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Resource Conservation Service and Rosebud and Powder River counties, along with Rehberg staffers, were there to speak with ranchers.
J.T. Korkow, Rehberg's Eastern Montana regional director, described the meeting as "a share of information in both directions."
The goal, he said, was to provide ranchers and other livestock owners with as much information and as many resources as possible while also gathering information from them, including losses and needs.
Korkow said that rough numbers from the U.S. Forest Service indicate that ranchers in the area have about 8,000 cattle. Many of them were killed or displaced in the fire and grazing land is sparse.
He said they're in the process of working federal and state agencies to open up more land to hold and feed the herds. He estimated that it will take about 110 tons of forage each day — about $15,000 worth — to feed the cattle.

As the South Bay real estate market falls through the looking glass, one piece of contrasting news has been released; average home prices fell in every Bay Area county except for Santa Clara County where they actually rose by 4.6% from December 2006 to December 2007.
During a time when total homes sold dipped lower than it has been in 20 years – this news was indeed startling.
Why is this so? First of all, the real estate market in Santa Clara County has split into two distinct areas; the mid and low end homes and high end homes. High end homes in areas with great school districts like Cupertino have experienced continued appreciation – and multiple offers with sales over asking price are still happening here. This is pulling up the average selling price of homes across Santa Clara County.
Secondly, the low to mid range homes are simply not selling. If you look in the $500K-700K range on the MLS, you will see many homes that have been on the market for 150 days or more. This means selling prices for this range of home are not being entered in the averages. What did they say about "Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics"?
Usually, the average selling price for an area is a meaningful number. Given the strange dynamics of our unusual market, lumping in the average selling prices of Cupertino, Saratoga and East San Jose is about as meaningful as looking at average selling prices for California as a whole. Or, for Siberia plus Western Europe, for that matter.
What is telling about these results is that we are rapidly moving towards an area of "haves" and "have nots". Our current market correction is making it even more difficult for those starting out to end up on the "have" side of the equation – and widening the gap between those already stratified.
What to do about this? Hang tight, the Bay Area is known for incubating new industries and creating jobs for many types of people. Our tax base and high housing costs have made it difficult for some types of industry to relocate here – however, this market correction may act like a good spring storm – sweeping out barriers to growth and allowing us to begin again.
This, like anything, will take time. Comments anyone?

I´ve been reading the section "how to measure hops " in chapter 5, pages: 54-60 and a few questions come to mind. I have trouble understanding the section about utilization. I´ll paste the text here: """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Utilization The utilization is the most important factor. This number describes the efficiency of the isomerization of the alpha acids as a function of time. This is where a lot of experimentation is being conducted to get a better idea of how much of the hops are actually being isomerized during the boil. The utilization numbers that Tinseth published are shown in Table 7. To find the utilizations for boil gravities in-between the values given, simply interpolate the value based on the numbers for the bounding gravities at the given time. For example, to calculate the utilization for a boil gravity of 1.057 at 30 minutes, look at the utilization values for 1.050 and 1.060. These are .177 and .162, respectively. There is a difference of 15 between the two, and 7/10ths of the difference is about 11, so the adjusted utilization for 1.057 would be .177 - .011 = 0.166. The Utilizations for 60 minutes and 15 minutes at a Boil Gravity of 1.080 are 0.176 and .087, respectively. Inserting these values into the IBU equations gives: IBU(60) = 9.6 x .176 x 75 / 5 = 25 (rounded to nearest whole number) and IBU(15) = 4.6 x .087 x 75 / 5 = 6 Giving a grand total of 31 IBUs. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The main question I have is: How am I supposed to know what the boil gravity will be at minute 15, 30 or 60 or "X" when I am trying to design a beer?. If I am trying to design it from scratch (with no software help whatsoever) and want to figure out how bitter the beer will be, and find out the IBUs, how should I do it then?. If the IBUs calculation depends on the gravity of the boil, then it´s impossible to accurately (or at least a solid number) calculate the IBUs. Am I wrong?. I should be wrong, otherwise reaching a particular IBUs level would be erratic for every brewer. Also, What is the boil gravity?. Is he meaning I need to measure the gravity of the wort while its at the 30 minute boiling time?. Bottom line; I want to be able to set the amounts of malt (and kinds of malt), temperatures, and hops on paper. How can I calculate the IBUs (Utilization specifically) without waiting until boiling time?.
use some free brewing software
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent
I had no idea the hops utilization and wort gravity relationship were no longer linked. Read that chapter in Palmers book and a similar section in Mosher's Radical Brewing last week. Where are you hearing this? The only brew news I get is the Basic Brewing podcast but can't keep up with all the episodes. Maybe I need a new news source?
Brewed in 2014: Rye IPA, Honey Sage Ale, Belgian Golden Strong, California Common, Bavarian Style Lager, Weizen, Coffee Stout, Gruit, Gale Ale, Isle of Skye Golden clone, Oktoberfest, Rauchbier, Alpha Male IPA & Chocolate Pepper Stout.
Thanks Yooper and Kiss. I think it is exciting to be a part of a rapidly changing field, thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed this site for the other things that can be done in the area. Quiet spot. RV Park is between fairways on the south side of the Golf Club. Nice walk around the area. - Marti & Roger
This is a decent little park with 3 nine-hole golf courses. Convenient to Andersonville and the Jimmy Carter Historical site among other local attractions. Sites are gravel or grass, and ours was long and level. Most are in the open but there is some shade. Bath house is modern and clean but could use better ventilation. No cable but the antenna picked up a few local stations. Wi-Fi is located in a building and not at sites. The in-season (fall, winter spring) rates include greens fees and are very reasonable. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is good shopping in town, about 5 miles away. - DrLewie
We were looking forward to staying here for as few days and playing golf but I require wi-fi in my RV at my site. When I called the manager told me they had a "hot spot" but may be able to get connected if I had the right site. When I arrived the manager led me to the prime spot but I could not get connected. I thank her and moved on. The park looked about 10% filled and the golf course appeared to be a nice one. - rossby

Not really a disaster but not sure where else to post!
My basement has an exterior exit with a long staircase. At the bottom of the staircase is a drain. I discovered soon after I moved in that if anything obstructs the drain the basement will flood. I now sweep daily because my neighbor's tree drops a lot of leaves. This solved the problem but I always worry when I am out of town. I've been told that there is some kind of cover/screen that I can use to make sure the drain is clear, but I haven't been able to find this at my local hardware store or home depot. Another drain problem is that local stray cats (??) like to poop in this area. I have no idea why but it makes sweeping pretty gross. Any idea how I can resolve both these problems? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have used a piece of lathing wire (Home Depot $7.00 for a 2 foot by 8ft) and made a cover for the drain for several people. One of those people, every time it rained and the drain blocked up, the water would fill in the cellar stair well as much as 4 feet. It broke out the storm door and leaked on into the basement. They had a flodding problem similar to yours, every time it rained. You might find a smaller piece of similar mesh openings somewhere. Don't use window screen, it'll plug up fast. Take a small bowl and shape the mesh so it will sit a bit higher than the drain. That way, when the debris collects around the base causing the water to rise, the water will then enter the drain. As for the cats, they hate orange peel and loath banana peels. Use them for about a week and they may quit coming around. Don't leave them there too long or you'll get insects and other vermine trying to get in the door. You could also sprinkle some moth crystals in the area, they work very well. |
If possible, this area should be finished to a roofed enclosure to protect the drain from the monsoons and rainstorms. Temporally, your treed neighbor could remove the leaves when you are gone on your European vacation... Or, use this money for the attached entrance covering. |

JePx's forum posts
@SpidermanWins: That part in the vents. "Have a few laughs" yada yada is from die hard, fool.
You guys, the lied about so much. They could make a 4th one and not release trailers for it until like a month before release and surprise us all. Almost like PS3 release. How it just CAME OUT and everyone was like "holy crap where did that come from?!"
@SpidermanWins: Uhhhh no? It's from Die Hard 1, genius.
The Die Hard reference was funny, but this show still sucks :/
Now now, ComicVine, Killing is justifiable when killing evil people. If you don't believe that, you're quite naive. Sorry. Killers SHOULD be allowed on the Avengers and if they single any one out just because they do what is necessary to vanquish evil from this earth then they are stupid as hell!
Wrong. Joker isn't better then senestro or Magneto. Batman fanboys *sigh*
GREAT CHOICES! Holy crap, I like em, I like em. Make this movie. Honestly, make it.

Yahya Abu Hammam is al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb's emir for the Sahel. He fought with GSPC, conducted several deadly attacks in Mauritania, and served as AQIM's emir for Timbuktu.A court charged two Mauritanians with joining al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to fight in Mali. One of the suspects, Brahim Ould Hmeida, is a brother of Abdallahi Ould Hmeida, a hostage-taker in the Id Amenas attack in Algeria. The other suspect, Mohamed Lemine Ould Cheikhani, had been arrested for terrorism in 2006 but was acquitted.
An imprisoned Mauritanian Salafist, Abu Ayyub al-Mahdi (a.k.a. Ahmed Salim bin al-Hassan), announced the creation of Ansar al Sharia in Mauritania with the goal of implementing sharia and countering an alleged war on Islam. Malian refugees in the M'Bara camp support the proposed deployment of UN peacekeepers to the areas they have fled; concerns remain that terrorists will conduct suicide operations in Mali.

Police net huge stash of drugs, cash in Oak Bluffs raid
Updated 12:50 pm Tuesday, October 15, 2013
Police arrested three men and seized more than $51,000 worth of marijuana, prescription narcotics, and cash, in a morning raid on an Oak Bluffs house on Thursday, October 10.
An investigation by Martha's Vineyard Drug Task Force detectives Nick Curelli and Mike Snowden led police to 7 Sea Glen Road, off Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road, where members of the Oak Bluffs Police Department, State Police, and the drug task force, executed a search warrant about 10 am.
Arrested were Ryan Dunbar, 20, who lived at the Sea Glen address, William Rogers, 20, also a resident, and Sean Geddis, 20, of Edgartown.
Police said they seized approximately six pounds of high grade marijuana, 199 Percocet pills, and approximately $15,000 in cash from Mr. Dunbar. They estimate the street value of the marijuana at $30,000 and the pills at $6,000 to $10,000.
Police said they seized small amounts of marijuana and prescription narcotics from Mr. Rogers and prescription narcotics from Mr. Geddis.
The house is owned by Deborah L. Harris, according to assessors records. Police said they have been investigating Mr. Dunbar for some time, but he moved into the house on Sea Glen Road only recently.
The three men were arraigned Friday in Edgartown District Court.
Mr. Dunbar was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, narcotics trafficking, and conspiracy to violate drug laws. He was ordered held on $5,000 bail, and remained in custody at the Dukes County Jail Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Rogers was charged with possession to distribute marijuana and other narcotics, and conspiracy. He was released on personal recognizance bail.
Mr. Geddis was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and conspiracy. He was released on personal recognizance.
The court entered not guilty pleas for the three men on all of the charges, and ordered them to return to court on November 8 for a hearing.
Mr. Dunbar and Mr. Geddis are already facing drug charges in a separate case, according to court records. They were arrested after police stopped Mr. Dunbar's vehicle in Edgartown this past July. In that case, they seized nearly one pound of marijuana and $5,669 in cash, according to the police report.
This article was updated to include information on arraignments and bail.
They'll get community service or something like that this is Martha's Vineyard. In reality these criminals should be in a state penitentiary for along time. They've brought drugs into our community illegally and should serve hard time.
I hope you're wrong. It's not right that our police officers have to risk their lives to catch these guys only to have to deal with them again.
People with plants are a risk to life?
No. People with guns that are willing to use them are a risk to life, and sometimes people with certain types of "plants" have guns. Also illegal prescription narcotics aren't plants in any form. These people didn't have a cute little garden or arboretum or something.
oh, I get it, plants don't kill people, people with plants kill people.
"That's different ! never mind" -
Yeah. Those kids were real gardeners. Real green thumbs.
The active ingredient in percoset is an opiod. A plant.
MV police are the best police to catch drugs dealer etc ….
is this someone's idea of the new, legal dispensary?
if you have a legal dispensary there is no need for this.
Even with a legal dispensary this will still go on. When it becomes a source of taxable revenue only then will it go back to the personal cultivation life style.
doesn't account for the prescription drugs
Id gladly exchange that pot for cigarettes . Cigarettes kill 443,000 people a year in the US alone. Id like to see them made illegal and pot legal.
Why not let people make their own choices in both cases?
If cigarettes were illegal I can guarantee that no one would want to legalize them. They kill you.
If you watch how often smokers take their smoking breaks and insist they need them you start to think people would definitely want to legalize it. People don't care if things are bad for you
If they show up at the hospital ODed on prescription pills will you expect the doctors to say "Sorry. You made your own choice"?
I think she meant choice between pot and cigarettes. Prescription drugs are a whole different thing. Those are narcotics. Pot should have never been classified as a narcotic. I agree narcotics should be kept off the street and those who sell them.
So would you rather your kid be in a car with a driver smoking pot or a driver smoking cigarettes while we're letting people make their own choices? When they show up in serious pain at the hospital will we tell them they made their choice or use someone else's money to treat them?
Individuals have the right to do with their body as they wish up to the point at which a decision aggresses upon the right of another individual. In your hypothetical said patient should be liable for incurent cost of treatment to said doctor either through direct payment or by the second party payee of insurance.
Why would a driver be smoking pot? It isnt addictive. Alot of people dont even like the stuff. so if someone plans on driving they stay away from the stuff. In the case of cigarettes the driver has to have one because of the addiction.
Almost anything can be addictive. Especially things that are pleasurable. This is why many people just can't wait to do it or get it. People aren't doing it because they don't like it.
People with an addiction do not have control over what they are doing, taking or using. Thats why they call pot smoking a habit. With a habit you can choose whether to do it or not without physical or mental effects.
technically, a healthy person will cost taxpayers more money in their lifetime than a smoker/drug user- that longer retirement really adds up. It's a grim way to look at it, but as far as letting people make their own choices, cost to the rest of us isn't really an issue.
this is a game the police catch this kid every couple of months… then give him his cash back. this is all for show…
The courts give him his money back. Just like the courts don't make the punishment bad enough so they wont want to go back out and do it again.
money's gone.
What's to keep the new" legal" growers from selling on the street?
The largest profits from dispensaries out west are from the legal growers selling illegally. It is what it is. Legalization won't be far down the line maybe 5 years.
"The largest profits from dispensaries out west are from the legal growers selling illegally." Got a citation or source for that?
Personal experience. Not to mention all weed sold legally on a state level is still sold illegally on a federal basis.
Personal experience? Really? Do you spend very much time poring over Californian THC sellers' ledgers?
I firmly believe that the vast majority of drugs smuggled into this country are sanctioned and supported by Factions of our own Government to control and set up puppet leaders and drug cartels around the world, Ask Ollie North about The Iran-Contra Affair. It's easy money that does not have to be approved by congress.
That is some really nice looking herb.
The criminal law isn't going to stop this, it's time to seriously think about legalization. No amount of prison will stop the next guy from selling pot when there's so much demand. It's a waste of the public's money, and it puts police officers in harms way over something that isn't inherently dangerous. Cigarettes and alcohol are far worse, we've figured out to manage those. We can figure this out too without jails.
I totally disagree that cigarettes and alcohol is worse.
It won't take long if you care to educate yourself by trying to find some factual basis for your comment to realize how wrong your comment is.
And it's "Cigarettes and alcohol ARE far worse".
I add that comment not to criticize you, but to let you know that when posting on a public forum, people will think less of your comment if it is not grammatically correct.
When choosing between is and are , take one of the subjects (cigarettes or alcohol) out,and think about how it sounds. — in this case, because "cigarettes" is plural, it demands "are" regardless of the rest of the sentence.-
Congratulations. You ARE a grammar nag. Nobody would ever think less of you for that.
however you want to take it.. i took some time to give you some advice– you can do whatever you want with it.
As i said, it was not to criticize you.
Should I think less of this comment because the first letter in the sentence and the I's weren't capitalized? We might need your advice on that.
It is unfortunate that such ignorance still survives in modern society. Cigarettes and alcohol cause more health problems and deaths, are responsible for more social ill, and cost taxpayers more money than pot ever could. I'd be interested in hearing exactly why you think the one is worse than the others.
Give me a person who drinks one or two drinks a day over a pot head any day. Give me a person who smokes three cigarettes a day over a person who smokes three joints all day. Maybe we could look at suicide rates of people that smoke a joint a day vs people that have a drink or a cigarette a day. Maybe we could look at who is more "successful". I've never seen a person smoke a cigarette, and then all of a sudden….there goes the whole day. Also….alcohol passes through the system. It is a poison. Drinking a drink a day is healthy. It doesn't have a cumulative affect. After drinking a drink a day for a year a person may actually be healthier. A cigarette a day will not affect your brain. The tar is bad, but you can still be of reasonable health in both body and mind. After a year there won't be much difference. After a year of smoking a joint every day there is a difference. You are specifically smoking something designed to affect your brain negatively. Not your lungs or nervous system. Your brain. After a year your brain will do things worse. If someone asked me "Hey. You are in a situation where you need a surgeon to save your life. You can have the one that had a glass of wine every night, the one that had a cigarette every night, or the one that had a joint every night"….well…..I know who I'm eliminating first.
I would eliminate the one smoking the cigarettes of course. Any doctor that smokes cigarettes does not really care about her health. Why would I entrust my health to her?
How many people do you know that smoke one cigarette a day?
I think you should do a little looking around before you make a statement like " A cigarette a day will not affect your brain."– of course it does. That's why you will not find people who smoke only one cigarette a day– it affects their brains and turns them into cash cow zombies for the tobacco companies.
In case you are interested in the actual effects on the brain, I have a link for you:
http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/cigarettes-other-tobacco-products.You also compare a cigarette a day to a joint a day and a drink a day. A better comparison would be to equate the joint with a bottle of wine, or a pack of cigarettes.
I think most pot smokers do not consume an entire joint in one sitting, as most wine drinkers do not consume the entire bottle, or tobacco addicts do not binge once a day and smoke a whole pack in one or two hours.
A single hit from a joint is more comparable to a single drink or a single cigarette -
You won't find people that will smoke only one cigarette, but you find lots of people that take a single hit?
actually, sometimes when I am at a party ( I am over 60) , someone will pass a joint around, and I see lots of people that only take one hit. On the rare occasion that I smoke, one hit only.
The great majority of people I know that smoke pot not only don't smoke an entire joint at one sitting, they don't smoke every day.
It's pretty rare to see someone who only has a few drags off a cigarette a few times a month. Such is the brain changing addictive nature of nicotine. -
There is nothing rare about casual smokers of cigarettes. There is also nothing rare about infrequent drinkers.
tiskid, it's interesting to note you are so determined to malign those who choose to smoke marijuana. are you a little sensitive about your own habits?
Can you name one single instance where a person who had smoked even a whole joint drove high and killed someone? ever hear of MADD? ever get a dui? oh, and pot smokers do not have a high rate of lung cancer, that I know of. remember when we called them cancer sticks? you should educate yourself. -
I have nothing against MADD. NO, I've never gotten a dui or oui. I'm not buying that nobody drives high.
I smoked cigs for a few months when dating a woman who smoked, so the kisses wouldn't taste so bad. what a surprise to find I got higher off a single cigarette than any joint I have ever inhaled.
This link had no comparisons with marijuana. There was discussion of the effect of nicotine, on the brain. So now do we get to see what THC does to a brain? What effects motor skills? Motivation? Memory? Perception of reality? Ability to do math? Anything like that?
Tiskid: Every single point that you made in that post above is spurious. Every. Single. One. You can't trot out a bunch of dated stereotypes about hippies and expect us to take your opinion seriously.
Nor can I take seriously the whole marijuana as health food for highly productive urban yuppies and great athletes revisionism.
There are certainly a great number of people whose productivity is not noticeably diminished by the occasional or periodic toke, but you can't tell them by looking at them, nor can the DEA churn out a biased study about them.
Unless you live in a bunker in the woods (a possibility I am unwilling to rule out) it is likely that many of the people you know do smoke pot. You just don't realize it because they don't advertise it or match your cliched expectations.
Where those potheads you deride exist, they are more the equivalent of a dry drunk or daytime drunk. It has more to do with their personal problems than their choice of intoxicant.
I never said for a minute that occasional pot users can't be happy and productive people. I said I disagree that alcohol and cigarettes are worse. And I do. I have no desire to try to convince the legalize it crowd of something they would never allow themselves to be convinced of, and consider themselves too educated and experienced to know better than.
Google NORML, National Organization For Reform Of Marijuana Laws, Very informative information and links compiled from thousands of reports and studies both from our Federal Government and highly regarded medical institutions from around the world. I guarantee you! If you actually read documents and studies from the American Cancer Society You will look into Medical Marijuana for yourself or a family member.
I have a doctor. If needed I'll ask him "Would this med make sense and would it be the best med that could help me/them". In the mean time I would insist on considering medicinal beer and wine too.
I think everyone is getting more caught up in the issue about legalizing marijuana/medical marijuana than the real problem which is these men were arrested with around 200 percocet pills, which should be viewed no different than heroin. Marijuana is one thing and may be less destructive than alcohol and cigarettes, however, opiates such as percocets when abused, kill and wreck lives. These men are drug dealers and are poluting our society with poison.
I see so many of the people I grew up with on this island suffering from substance abuse issues. Many of said people cannot get through a day without getting high. They started out smoking a little pot and this eventually turned into blowing a line of cocaine at a party or taking a percocet whilte they drank. Now, many of these people who were casual drug takers back in the day are now addicts who cannot get through one single day without feeding their habit. These people are still probably smoking weed, blowing the occasional line of cocaine but are now injecting percocets or heroin just to get through the day. This is reality and I find it to be extremely sad.
"These men are drug dealers and are [polluting] our society with poison."
I agree with this sentiment, but in reference to the doctors that egregiously over-prescribe hard painkillers, as well as the pharmaceutical and insurance companies that are part of that process.
How come the biggest part of these conversations is always missed? Percocet is an Opiate based drug that is not grown or processed in a back yard or the woods, It is manufactured by huge Government sponsored and supported, Pharmaceutical company's and sold by rigorously trained and licensed Pharmacists. How is it getting to the streets in these numbers in the first place. And why does the Federal Government not care. The drug war is about money and the dealer on the street is not buying congress with campaign funds. Legalize the harmless Marijuana Let everyone grow their own, And go get the bastards that are killing our kids.
excellent point.
for years the so called war on drugs has been wasting money and resources chasing down pot smokers. The real drug problem is with heroin, meth and opiates.
so it's still against the law to sell pot. Ok, give them a fine for that, and donate the confiscated pot to hospice. i am sure that organization would find proper use for it.
Then focus on the real drug problem, which is heroin, crack, meth, molly, and the opiates. Jail does nothing to young people but harden them. better to have some educational programs, and appropriate community service. These are 20 year olds, still green behind the ears.. Send them to a rehab clinic, educate them, and have them do something positive for the community.
washashore got deleted when responding to one of my comments. I have no idea why, it was a reasonable although impractical (in my opinion) idea. If we are going to deal with the drug problems we have, we need to have out of the box ideas put on the table.
It is obvious that our current strategies are working, but could be improved on. I appeal to Doug to not be so quick to hit the censor button. This forum is for an exchange of ideas, and in my opinion, washashore did not violate any of the rules here.-
Thanks – I didn't think I did either. You're right it is impractical, but I don't think some of these kids would be doing this type of stuff or acting this way if they had more exposure to life off the island. They'd stick out like a sore thumb in a place like East New York (the place I suggested) trying to be hard criminals. Regardless of Dukes counties poverty level, this is a very privileged place to grow up.
The thing is while this amount of drugs may seem shocking to a little island,you all fill your little jail with weed smokers and put people om probation that assult people because you are afraid the weed will lead to more assults. shhesh
Someone should really just donate it all to cancer patients, or atleast to the people who will actually benefit from the loot…
did you read any of the links i posted ?
I am not saying that pot makes you a better athlete, only that the most decorated olympian ever smokes pot. Please note your comment that he could have been better– perhaps he could have been worse. We don't know. perhaps those bronze winners could have won gold if they smoked as much as Phelps.. We don't know. I am not saying Phelps would have lost if he didn't smoke, or someone else would have have won if they did.But one thing for certain here, you sound off with your opinions, offer no studies of facts, and go off on tangents
I have given you information about things you have questioned.
Clearly, pot smokers have a lower suicide rate than the general public, and alcoholics and tobacco addicts have the highest rates.. And the most decorated athlete in history smokes pot.
Any Questions ? -
Yeah. Why do you keep moving the goal posts and disavowing what you said? You said pot "produces" the "best" "athletes" in the "world". So how exactly does it "produce" such an athlete? And since you mentioned athletes in plural perhaps we can find more example than just one of how it produced the best athlete in a certain field.
I definitely read your post where Michael Phelps firmly denies marijuana use. I think it said he was a one time used due to lapse in judgement. How you go from that to producing the world's best athletes …pretty interesting source there.

I am thinking about going the second week of November. Weather looks like mid 70s average. Have you been swimming then? Are the pools heated at the value resorts?
All the pools at all the resorts are heated unless there's a technical problem.
Typically, 75 degrees is considered swimming weather; being from New England, I've swum at Port Orleans in January when the air temp was in the low 50s. |
We usually go the first week in November and get at least one swim day in.
Thanks! We have been in March and swam and it looks like the same weather average. :)

Well, I would be an owl. Nocturnal.
i really don't know what i am. nowadays i'm lazy, but when i'm fit i can run for a long time. I'm not impulsive, when somone tries to shock/scare me, I react very slowly. Could be bad if it was a psychopathic murder. I also like to randomly head butt people. I'm i'm a cow. Or a bull. mooooo
Beginning of a week I'm a hyper Rabbit, by the end of the week I morph into a slow moving Koala...
eh, I think I'd be a cat too, though for different reasons : quiet, reserved but also friendly and playful, solar-powered, likes to take long naps... sometimes you don't know weither a cat will purr or claw you to death... mostly though in the whole today I'm going to be social and you can pet me and give me toys and tomorrow I'm going to ignore you for the whole day.... =/ oh and getting flustered by things.. lol
I think i'm more of a dog. I'll chase after cats, sleep when i can't find better stuff to do, eat what i'm given, loyal to my cause and to those that matter. But then again...i do some un-dog like behavior as well... I guess we're all a mix of things.
I'm either a dog or wolf, or both (some hybrid). I tend to be a loner and very individually focused, though at times I can be very loose and undirected like dogs. I also chase cats and sleep when bored, but the loyalty part is probably a little looser for me.
I love to sleep... curl up in a warm corner under my blanket and just sleep for hours.
I get amused really easy.
Oh, and I'm usually awake at night and sleep in the day time (or atleast whenever I can)
Im the chupacabras:
Just kidding, that was sick.
I am a butterfly, haha kidding again.
Im lazy, i like to sleep, i prefer night time, not a morning person i guess, also i have a short temper, any animal that relates to that i guess.
