"From the very beginning, when we were deciding how we could do a survey of marine microbes, it has been a community effort," says Sogin. "Sample collection is a very expensive game, mostly in terms of running ships, but the submitting labs paid for that, which relieved one financial hurdle for the census." Meanwhile, at the MBL, "we realized right away that we needed bioinformatics capabilities that didn't exist" to handle the data, Sogin says. So they designed databases that allow visualization of microbial diversity in several graphical ways and that combine genetic data with information on the microbes' habitats.
Early on, ICoMM scientists also made the crucial decision to collect not just genetic data on the microbes (which would separate them by type), but also contextual information on where they were foundlatitude and longitude, ocean depth, water pH, salinity, and other conditions. What they found is that all microbes are not everywhere. Despite an ability to disperse widely in the oceans, the scientists discovered that characteristic microbial communities can define different water masses in the ocean and can tell us about the health of different ecosystems.
"Believe it or not, this is unique, this coupling of (genetic) diversity data and contextual data," says Linda Amaral Zettler, MBL assistant scientist and ICoMM program manager. "The big payoff is it lets the researchers ask ecological questions about microbial populations that otherwise could not be posed."
Now is the most exciting time, when "things start to unfold, and stories are being told," says Amaral Zettler. "We

Rotten: Sometimes the facts can get in the way of the drama, and that's the central problem here.
- Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times, Thursday, October 20, 2011
Fresh: Loach has made a film uncluttered by an obvious director's stamp, peopled by sympathetic characters and driven by a desire to say something about the world without losing sight of human experience.

Audience Reviews
Oranges & Sunshine is a very impressive debut feature, looks like it runs in the family as Jim Loach seems to be a chip off the old block. I very glad to hear it too, although this film isn't in the same style as one of his fathers, it's as good as one of his and it has the heart of one. I don't think I've ever seen a bad Emily Watson performance, here she cements herself in being one of my all time favourite actresses and is surrounded by a competent cast. I did know of the story and its eventual conclusion; the apology from the British government just over a year ago, but that doesn't stop the climax and the minutes leading to it from being some of the most tense and thrilling in resent years. In fact, the last film that gave me tingles like this was Route Irish - Ken Loach's last film! With two Loachs working today, cinema just got that little bit better! http://cinephilecrocodile.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/oranges-and-sunshine-dir-jim-loach-2010.html

There have been a number of young directors coming through recently who have gained attention not just through their talents but through the reputation of their fathers. We have Nicolas Winding Refn, son of acclaimed editor Anders Refn, whose recent feature Drive could translate his cult status in Europe into mainstream popularity. We have Rowan Joffe, son of The Mission's Roland Joffe, whose remake of Brighton Rock contains moments of future promise. And now we have Jim Loach, son of Ken, who has delivered one of the best films of the year with Oranges and Sunshine. Oranges and Sunshine is a biographical drama based on the life and work of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker based in Nottingham in the mid-1980s. In 1986 she came into contact with an Australian woman trying to trace her parents, and through her investigations uncovered the Home Children programme which had been pursued by the British, Australian and Canadian governments for over a hundred years up to the 1970s. The programme was based on the notion that it was cheaper to care for orphans by sending them to Australia than it was to keep them in Britain, leading thousands to be rounded up and sent off to what they were told was a better life. Like his father's best work, Oranges and Sunshine finds Jim Loach marrying gripping and contentious political issues to very well-written character drama. This is not an Oscar-baiting film which bends over backwards to convince us that Margaret Humphreys is a saint and what she is doing is incredibly worthy. We do not have to be lectured about how important the subject matter is: its extraordinary and at times shocking nature emerges naturally and powerfully, as a result of deeply empathising with the characters. The character construction in Oranges and Sunshine is comprehensive and yet completely unforced, thanks to a wonderful screenplay by Rona Munro. Emily Watson, whom I once described as "the go-to actress for delicate, sensitive female characters", turns in another remarkable performance as Margaret Humphreys. Her character is relentless in pursuing her goal - not justice, or revenge, but catharsis for the people involved. But the film doesn't portray her in an entirely rose-tinted way; we see the effect that her selfless crusade is having, whether on her marriage, her health or her reputation. Over the course of the film, Watson's character finds her existing principles as a social worker coming into conflict with both the physical and emotional demands of her new line of work. She has spent her life trying to keep a distance between herself and her subjects, adamantly declining to share in their most personal moments. But the more her work uncovers, the more she becomes an integral part of what is unfolding, as both a spokesman of the Home Children and increasingly as their friend. In an understated and naturalistic way, the film explores how people are changed, often against their will, by their dedication towards a cause, to the point at which it becomes their life's calling. Watson is ably supported by two brilliant members of the supporting cast. Hugo Weaving as terrific as Jack, one of the first people Humphreys take on board to try and find his mother. Every time he is on screen, our heart leaps at the merest hint of a smile from underneath that huge brown beard. He is someone who has been hurt deeply in the past, and after all this time of repressing or forgetting, he genuinely wants to reach out and connect. It's a very busy performance, with lots of hand gestures and fidgeting, but it feels completely genuine. The other great performance comes from David Wenham, who worked with Watson six years ago on The Proposition. There is an obstinate air about Len, a sense of distance and denial; when we first meet him, we think that he might be some kind of government mole, attempting to infiltrate and snare Humphreys. But he emerges as someone of immense loyalty who is difficult but self-effacing. His first meeting with his mother isn't shown on screen, but his expression would lead us to think that it was as difficult as he was. Wenham's character also gets one of the most moving lines in the film. After they have taken tea with the brothers at Bin Doon (more on that later), Margaret asks him about how he feels and why he can't open up emotionally. Len replies: "I had to stop crying when I was eight. I wouldn't know how to start now." It's a beautiful line which conveys so much about the trauma of these people, whose whole identity has been called into question. Even in its most serious moments, you could call Oranges and Sunshine a tear-jerker, because it is impossible not to show emotion at the plight of these men and women. Certain sections feel like a documentary, with a montage of individuals candidly talking about their experiences with the Christian Brothers or working on farms. One man talks about being repeatedly beaten; another recounts a gruesome incident of rape; another still remembering being told that he had "a lovely singing voice", a comment which led to him being castrated. These scenes are shocking, harrowing and heart-breaking, causing us to seethe with anger at what happened but also weep for what these men went through. There are also several scenes in Oranges and Sunshine which are very frightening. On two occasions Margaret's base in Australia is attacked by masked men working for the Christian Brothers - they attempt to break into her house, throwing bricks and calling her everything under the sun. But more terrifying is the deeply uncomfortable sequence in the dining hall at Bin Doon. Margaret is taken by Len to eat with the priests, many of whom were personally involved in the abuses detailed in the film. There is a very awkward silence while Len goes to make some tea, before Margaret finally plucks up the courage to speak. When she does, it is not to condemn or make small talk: she simply asks if they are afraid of her, and if so, why? In terms of its subject matter and approach, the film is an interesting companion piece to Rabbit-Proof Fence, Philip Noyce's docudrama about the relocation and Christianisation of aborigines. Both films take very dim views of the governments involved, or at least dispute the moral reasoning behind the decisions they made. But more importantly, both films have their political analyses rooted in the emotions and extraordinary acts of ordinary people. Margaret's meetings with government officials in Oranges and Sunshine are comparable to Kenneth Branagh's scenes in Rabbit-Proof Fence; the film is attacking what these individuals stand for, but it doesn't demean them by refusing to consider or depict their human nature. The film is beautifully shot by Denson Baker, who fills the screen with lots of watery, shimmering blues to underscore both the beauty of the landscape and the inherent melancholy of the stories taking place in it. Loach's camerawork is adept and subtle, getting in close to the characters when it needs to but allowing the wide shots to breathe. The film captures the period settings very well, particularly the faded streets of 1980s Britain. And all of these visual elements are elevated by the score from Lisa Gerrard, who worked with Hans Zimmer on Gladiator. There is a further comparison here with Rabbit-Proof Fence, whose soundtrack featured Peter Gabriel and The Blind Boys of Alabama; both films bring raw yet ethereal tones to the arid landscapes of Australia. Oranges and Sunshine is an impressive and powerful debut from Jim Loach, who has inherited much of his father's gift for moving, honest and vulnerable filmmaking. Its opening section is a little slow and conventional, but after a shaky start it never misses a beat, refusing to flinch from the most difficult aspects of its subject matter. Unlike Sarah's Key, it also refuses to tip over into melodrama as the more familial elements encroach towards the end. But its biggest achievement is to convincingly and understatedly marry politics and drama together, creating a film of great quality which will break your heart.

Program 3 at San Francisco Ballet is a rare trio of works that explores themes of longing, unfulfilled love and connecting with the hereafter or the totally other.
Since I couldn't help raving on about the concept and the visuals, can we just agree that the dancers performed wonderfully, as always? Here, that would include the three ballet students who danced Young Cinderella, Young Prince, and his best buddy (who, in another nice touch, later hooks up with one of the stepsisters).
San Francisco Ballet unveiled its latest Parisian import in Giselle on Sunday afternoon at the War Memorial Opera House, less than 24 hours after fielding a much-adored veteran in the same role in its season opener. With three more principal ballerinas poised to rotate through the iconic role through February 2, the fan clubs are buzzing.

Athersys Secures Multiple Grants To Advance Key Therapeutic Programs In Regenerative Medicine And Obesity
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Athersys, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATHX) announced today that it has secured three Therapeutic Discovery Project grants as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. These grants were awarded related to Athersys' development of MultiStem ® for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), also known as heart attack, and other forms of cardiovascular disease, as well as for the treatment of multiple diseases causing acute tissue damage and chronic inflammation. MultiStem is currently being developed for the treatment of AMI, Graft vs. Host Disease (GvHD) following bone marrow transplant, inflammatory bowel disease, and stroke. Additionally, one of the three awarded grants was secured to advance Athersys' pharmaceutical development program in obesity. Athersys is developing compounds that selectively stimulate the 5HT2c serotonin receptor in the brain, which is known to play an important role in regulating appetite. The Therapeutic Discovery Project grants totaled more than $730,000 in aggregate.
Athersys also announced today that it has secured a $140,000 grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research to advance research and development of its novel MultiStem product platform as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease. The research funded by the grant is intended to confirm and extend previous observations regarding the efficacy of MultiStem in rodent models of Parkinson's disease, with the goal of accelerating the potential clinical application of these cells for patients who suffer from the disease.
"We are proud of the innovative work we have been conducting in these areas of true unmet medical need," said Gil Van Bokkelen, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Athersys. "These grants not only underscore the promise and potential of our MultiStem platform and our obesity program, but help Athersys advance our research and clinical development activities across several key disease areas and accelerate our ongoing efforts to develop novel, safe and effective treatments for patients suffering from these conditions. We look forward to continuing to work with our development partners and to forging research relationships with visionary foundations like the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research to help us reach this goal."

Shizuku invites Natsuru over to her house, despite the whole near-rape thing, in order to warn him about Kaede. Apparently, Shizuku managed to steal Kaede's favorite Zomotsu Animal doll, Burnt Alive Lion, from her house. He reveals that the Kampfers are essentiall fighting a proxy war between two planets in another solar system, and that the Moderators had chosen them to be Kampfers to fight this war instead of killing any more of the people on those planets. Before they can drag any more answers out of him, the Lion suddenly falls asleep.
Shizuku takes Natsuru into her room, lays him on the bed, then uses the power of her kiss (don't even bother asking how this is possible) to reveal to Natsuru the suggestions that were planted in his mind beforehand. But of course, Natsuru being the dense motherfucker that he is, decides to go to Kaede's house to see if Shizuku is telling the truth. Kaede derides him for being an idiot who couldn't even fuck a single girl when she told him to, then controls his mind again and turns him back into Femme!Natsuru.
Back at school, Mikoto, Akane and Shizuku all were given messages from Natsuru to meet on the roof, but find out (surprise!) it was a trap set by the White Kampfers. After the White Kampfers finish their speeches and the others finish their henshin sequences, the White team is all knocked out after barely ten seconds of fighting. However, Femme!Natsuru appears and throws a bunch of fireballs at her teammates. Shizuku concludes that he's being mind-controlled again, before Sakura appears with a gun and a sword and knocks them all out.
When they wake up tied to each other, Sakura reveals that she is some kind of super Kampfer who was gay for Femme!Natsuru, and apparently her aim was to have some kind of lesbian harem. Oh, and she also killed Shizuku's best friend. But rather than kill the three red and blue Kampfers like she said she would, she leaves the task to the mind-controlled Femme!Natsuru. Natsuru prepares a giant fireball, but then sees the sea-slug trinket in Shizuku's pocket and decides not to kill them.
Suddenly, the others break free of their chains and somehow obtain a battle aura so strong it rips parts of their own clothes off. While their respective dolls start singing a badly-mangled version of Ode to Joy in the background, the good guys stomp all over the White Kampfers with their increased powers. Kaede tries to control Natsuru again, but Natsuru ends up turning into a boy instead, pissing off Kaede as she retreats with the other White Kampfers.
At the end of the episode, Shizuku, Akane, and Mikoto all want to jump the male Natsuru's bones, but Natsuru suddenly starts thinking of how beautiful the moon looks as the three girls tug parts of his body toward each other.

Fall is a fine time to plant trees and shrubsSept. 11, 2013 |
By Debbie Gardner firstname.lastname@example.com SOMERS, Conn. – When it comes to freshening up their landscape with new trees and shrubs, most people think "spring." But those in the know say consumers should contemplate such home improvements at the other end of the growing season. According to Toree Kluntz, nursery supervisor at Pell Farms on Kibbe Grove Road, the next few weeks are a far better time to make those landscape additions. The gradually cooling days and nights of late summer and early fall, she said, actually present a less-stressful environment for new plantings. "Sometimes in the spring you get too much rain, or not enough, then it gets really hot and humid," Kluntz said. "It really doesn't help the plants." Though the sun's strength is waning and the nights are getting chilly, Kluntz said the ground still offers new plantings an optimum growing environment, usually up to the middle of October. "The soil is still warm, 5 to 6 inches down the [temperature] is still 55 to 60 degrees, warm enough for roots to get established," she said, adding that the more predictable fall rains mean "you don't have to water [plantings] as much." The promise of several weeks of prime planting time doesn't mean homeowners should drag their feet, however. Kluntz said the sooner those new trees and shrubs get added to your landscape, the better the chance they will thrive come spring. "It really depends [on weather]," Kluntz said. "Once we start getting frost at night, the ground starts freezing. You want to give [new plantings] a couple of weeks before the ground gets frozen so the root can get established." Give them a good start Kluntz said adding a new tree or shrub to your landscape is easy, if you follow the proper planting steps. 1. Get them in the ground as soon as possible. Though it's better to get new plantings in the ground as soon as they are purchased, Kluntz said if you have to let them wait a day or two, that's OK. Just make certain the plants aren't sitting on a sunny, hot driveway or patio – try and keep them in the shade – and water them regularly until you can get them in the ground. 2. The hole should be just deep enough and wide enough to accommodate the root ball. "If it's in a container, make the hole the size of the container. If it's in burlap, make it the size of the burlap," Kluntz said. 3. Keep the root ball intact. If the root ball is wrapped in burlap, Kluntz said to plant the new tree or shrub as is. "The roots are going to grow right through the burlap," she said. "[And] it will disintegrate over time if you are watering regularly." If the new planting is in a container, she said just loosen the bottom and slide the tree or shrub out, keeping the roots intact as much as possible. "If you disrupt the root system, it can cause [the planting] to fail," she noted. 4. Plant the tree or shrub so that the top of the root ball is level with the ground. "The worst thing is when you plant things too deep," Kluntz said. "The new plants don't get enough oxygen, and that causes them to fail." 5. Water the new planting regularly. "How often you water depends on the temperature," she said. "If we are getting rain two times a week, you're probably fine. But even if it's not hot, just still quite warm, you'll want to water every couple of days." She added that you should keep up the watering schedule until the ground freezes, and begin the same type of regular watering in the spring when the ground thaws. 6. Don't fertilize the new planting. "Let it get used to the new environment," Kluntz said. "The following year, if you want to give it a little boost, you want to use a slow-release fertilizer." She said at the nursery, they routinely use fertilizers with a 10-10-10 mix on their established trees and shrubs. |

Pal's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pal, a Nashua American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Nashua, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Nashua.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Nashua 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 Nashua 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 American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Nashua paves the way for another one to be saved.

40 CFR 1043.40 - EIAPP certificates.
Engine manufacturers seeking EIAPP certificates for new engines to be used in U.S.-flagged vessels must apply to EPA for an EIAPP certificate in compliance with the requirements of this section (which references 40 CFR part 1042). Note that under APPS engine manufacturers must comply with the applicable requirements of Regulation 13 of Annex VI to obtain a certificate. Note also that only the Administrator or the EPA official designated by the Administrator may issue EIAPP certificates on behalf of the U.S. Government.
Persons other than engine manufacturers may apply for and obtain EIAPP certificates for new engines to be used in U.S.-flagged vessels by complying with the requirements of this section (which references 40 CFR part 1042) and the applicable requirements of Regulation 13 of Annex VI.
In appropriate circumstances, EPA may issue an EIAPP certificate under this section for non-new engines or engines for vessels that will not initially be flagged in the U.S.
The process for obtaining an EIAPP certificate is described in § 1043.41. That section references regulations in 40 CFR part 1042, which apply under the Clean Air Act. References in that part to certificates of conformity are deemed to mean EIAPP certificates. References in that part to the Clean Air Act as the applicable statute are deemed to mean 33 U.S.C. 1901-1915.
For engines that undergo a major conversion or for engines installed on imported vessels that become subject to the requirements of this part, we may specify alternate certification provisions consistent with the intent of this part.
This paragraph (f) applies for engines that were originally excluded from this part because they were intended for domestic use and were introduced into U.S. commerce without an EIAPP certificate. Note that such engines must be labeled as specified under 40 CFR 1042.135 to indicate that they are intended for domestic use. Such engines may be installed on vessels not intended only for domestic operation provided the engine manufacturer, vessel manufacturer, or vessel owner obtains an EIAPP certificate. Similarly, vessels originally intended only for domestic operation may be used internationally provided the engine manufacturer, vessel manufacturer, or vessel owner obtains an EIAPP certificate. In either case, the Technical File must specify that the engine was originally certified for domestic use only, prior to being covered by an EIAPP certificate. Engine manufacturers may provide a supplemental label to clarify that the engine is no longer limited to domestic service. An engine manufacturer, vessel manufacturer, or vessel owner may also ask to apply the provisions of this paragraph to engines originally certified for public vessels.

Volcom bag
A perfect fit for my 15" macbook pro! This bag is large enough that I can throw in a notebook with my laptop without it looking too full. This bag has a thick strap and the snap closure is easy to access my goods yet secure enough to keep everything tied down when running to a meeting. Overall this bag is very well made and I would highly suggest to anyone looking for a great tote.

Madame Dehlinger is a gracious and kind hostess. We stayed wtih her in Nice for three beautiful evenings. The room she provides is spotless, well appointed and private. The secluded balcony was lovely for sharing a meal and a glass of wine with my husband. The bathroom is clean and spacious. Her breakfasts are delicious and plentiful. Thank you very much, Marie Claude. We enjoyed your wonderful hospitality. Carlee & Jake from Canada

My partner and I stayed in this apartment for one week in September 2013 and rate it very highly. Location is good, access to everywhere in Nice and further afield is easy using public transport and the walk into the old part of the city and to Promenade des Anglais is enjoyable Marie-Claude cares for her guests very well and is full of helpful information and suggestions. We recommend the accommodation wholeheartedly.

Absolutely lovely. My husband and I stayed with Marie Claude on our honeymoon and could not have asked for a more beautiful and central location in Nice. Marie Claude was a wonderful host, who puts on the most amazing breakfasts, overlooking the harbour and with a great view of Sir Elton's villa! :) We had hired a car and were able to park it in a secure parking spot for the duration of our visit to Nice, as NICE centre ville really is in the centre - walking distance to the new and old areas and very close to the tram stops. The room was pristine and just beautiful - complete with complementary robes and slippers. A very relaxing stop, highly recommended!

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
This movie definitely had a Burton feel to it, though I was a bit disappointed in the content. They left out what I feel was an important aspect to the story: the children being bribed to steal from Mr. Wonka. I remember Wonka seeking someone who loved candy and would take care of his factory and workers, but in this film he seemed not to care who won the contest. There seemed to be an over-emphasis on the family aspect and not on the honesty and integrity of the child. The special effects were stunning, and once again Burton has managed to completely freak me out with his use of color. I couldn't understand much of what the Oompa Loompa's were singing about, which was frustrating. The kid that played Charlie was phenomenal. All in all worth seeing, especially if you are a Burton fan like me. Not so much for fans of Dahl's novels.

Andrea Iannone
Maniac Joe
Andrea Iannone made his debut in the World Championship series in the 125cc class in 2005 riding an Aprilia. In 2008 he had his first win in the 125cc class of the World Championship series and in 2009 became one of the outright stars of the season. In 2010 he moved up to Moto2 and made his name by finishing on the podium 11 times and coming third in the overall classification.
It was the Ducati Pramac team that gave him the opportunity to test his potential in the MotoGP class and Andrea's talent showed right from the start.

(KMOV) – As Missouri State Education officials address several issues within area schools, the Normandy District must cut nearly half its $53 million budget.
"At this point I would say we are looking at everything, " said Ty McNichols, Superintendent of Schools for Normandy.
He said he and his staff are looking at everything following a recent report which showed the district running out of money by March if nothing is done.
"If we do nothing that is an accurate statement, but we are looking at making modifications to our programs and staffing patterns throughout the organization," said McNichols.
He said nothing is off the table at this point, bigger class sizes, eliminating non-core classes, cutting staff and closing schools, but he remains optimistic.
He said, "We're fine right now financially, we're solvent, we're paying our bills and we'll continue to pay our bills. We have various strategies to make sure we can continue to pay our bills in June and July and I'm confident we'll be able to have school for the whole year."
Kim Morris, parent of a Normandy High School student said she stands by the superintendent following a "Meet the Superintendant" forum held on Monday where he discussed his plan.
Fate Jackson, father of twin grade-schoolers, said "my intention was to come up here and rip him a new one, I kid you not, but he impressed me and I shook his hand and said thanks because at least you're trying."
McNichols said "we going to patch the holes up in the ship and we going to float."
Wednesday will be a big day for the district as it 's count day.
That's the day when the state determines how many students are in each district and that helps determine funding.

This Week In Discs: A Separation, Bernie, Moss, The Dictator and Season One of the Highly Addicting Revenge
Features By Rob Hunter on August 21, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Shuffle Every time Lovell falls asleep he awakens at a different point of his life. His thirty year old mind and memories remain intact as a ten year old, a ninety year old, and anywhere in between. Things get even more complicated when he discovers his wife has died under potentially mysterious circumstances, but can he use his uncontrollable life-hopping ability to make things right? It's tough making science fiction films on an indie budget, but writer/director Kurt Kuenne (Dear Zachary: A Letter To a Son About His Father) takes a sci-fi concept and uses it to tell a very human story. Loss, redemption, and forgiveness are just a few of the themes shown to transcend time, and the film explores them with beauty, humor and vitality. [Extras: Trailer, festival video diaries, making-of, black & white version]
AFI FEST 2011: Clear Your Schedule for 22 Festival Favorites
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on November 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIf you've been paying as much attention to the lineup for this year's AFI FEST as the rest of us Rejects (read: quite a bit), you've surely noticed that the festival's programming is packed with a number of films that have played some of the year's biggest festivals. If you're in Southern California, the Hollywood-based (and free) film festival will give you a chance to check out the same films that played at Cannes, Toronto, Berlin, Venice, New York, Fantastic Fest, Sundance, London, and more. It's like traveling without leaving your own area code, or spending the cold, hard cash it would take to fly halfway around the world. Sounds pretty simple now, huh, shut-in? AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. Tickets for all screenings are free (and available right HERE). The complete schedule grid is online for the festival, which you can check out HERE. After the break, check out 22 festival favorites (and a sampling of some of the other festivals they've played) that you may have missed throughout the year. Not sure if they're worthy of clearing your AFI FEST schedule for? I've linked to all of our previous coverage, too, so you really have no excuse.
AFI FEST 2011 Announces Young Americans, New Auteurs, and Spotlight Titles; Includes 'Bullhead,' 'Green,' and 'Michael'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWith AFI FEST 2011 presented by Audi rapidly approaching, the festival has just announced their first slate of film selections, including the full line-up for three of the festival's most unique and important sections – Young Americans (which features film from up-and-coming American filmmakers), New Auteurs (which gives a platform for first and second features from around the world), and Spotlight (which picks one filmmaker for special recognition and screenings of their work). This year's AFI FEST is already shaping up to be a fine festival for the fall season (alliteration is so choice), and the announcement of these selections only highlights that. Today's announced films include a bevy of already buzzed-about titles from the festival circuit, including Sophia Takal's Green, Athina Rachel Tsangari's Attenberg, Michaël R. Roskam's Bullhead, Markus Schleinzer's Michael, Justin Kurzel's Snowtown, Clay Liford's Wuss, Alison Bagnall's The Dish & The Spoon, and many more. This year's Spotlight will also shine on filmmaker Joe Swanberg, who will show all three films of his Full Moon Trilogy, including the World Premiere of the final chapter, The Zone. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. The best part? Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting October 27). After the break, check out the full list and descriptions of the films to be featured in AFI FEST's New Auteurs, Young Americans, and Spotlight sections.
Telluride Film Festival Announces Slate; Includes 'The Descendants,' 'Shame,' and 'A Dangerous Method'
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on September 1, 2011 | Comments (1)This weekend's 38th annual Telluride Film Festival has just announced their slate, including a number of buzzed-about titles from the likes of Cronenberg, Payne, Ramsay, Kaurismäki, Scorsese, Herzog, and McQueen. Telluride differs from other film festivals by keeping mum on its lineup until the day before the festival opens, though speculation runs high in the weeks before opening, with a bevy of well-educated guesses often revealing the festival's top picks well in advance (an example from this year would be We Need to Talk About Kevin, as star Tilda Swinton is a consistent Telluride favorite). The festival will continue to announce additions to its lineup throughout its run. The festival seems to have a taken a number of cues from Cannes and Venice, with Cannes picks The Artist, Le Havre, Footnote, The Kid with a Bike, Bonsai, and We Need to Talk About Kevin showing, along with Venice films A Dangerous Method and Shame. The festival also announced that they will be bestowing the Silver Medallion Awards (which "recognize an artist's contribution to the world of cinema") to George Clooney (starring in The Descendants at the festival), Swinton, and French filmmaker-actor Pierre Etaix. The festival runs this weekend, from September 2 through September 5. Check out the full lineup for the festival's main program, which also includes Albert Nobbs, Living in the Material World, and The Tuirn Horse, after the break.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These are beautiful and coordinate perfectly with the other programs and menu cards in this line. We're using this for our nautical wedding. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions listed in the description, these are really small. We'll probably still use them but I would have preferred something with more room for the first and last names."
"This place card is just as beautiful and luxurious as the fanciful monogram invitation. The paper is thick, and the monogram and fonts match perfectly. This is a folding card, which would hold up nicely on its own on a table. We are putting the place cards in a slit at the top of a gavel we had made as a place card holder, and it looks great! We are so happy to keep the "fanciful monogram" theme going through our wedding - from our invitations to our place cards. Too bad they don't have a matching menu!"
"WPD had tons of styles and options to choose from. Finally settled on this design. We had some customization requests on what text was printed on the cards. The designers emailed me the next day with a proof and it was perfect. Thanks for a great experience and hassle free purchase."
"Loved the simplicity of this whole card selection...From A-Z, "Modern Whimsy" is everything I could dream of! Very happy with all the products selected for the big day!"
"I ordered the Antique Border invitations in the dark red colour and got these for our reception to match. I asked WeddingPaperDivas to take off the Table.... so we just had the two border lines and I wrote names on the cards.

Social host ordinance scheduled to go before City Council this summer
Thursday, January 15, 2009
On the 'Net
To take a survey about a proposed social host ordinance in Moffat County, visit www.grandfutures....
Local groups looking to reduce underage drinking are banking on community presentations this spring to help fuel passage of a new ordinance.
About six members of the Youth Wellness Initiative and the Moffat County branch of Grand Futures Prevention Coalition met Tuesday to plan a series of community appearances by John Underwood, American Athletic Institute founder.
Interest in passing a social host ordinance in Steamboat Springs was revived after Underwood, whose company counsels athletes about the dangers of drug and alcohol use, made a similar presentation in Steamboat in May.
The ordinance would have imposed penalties, including jail time, for adults who host underage drinkers on their property. The measure would not cite residents if minors trespass to drink on their property.
The power of Underwood's presentation lies in its focus on how alcohol affects the body, according to Matt Beckett, Grand Futures' Moffat County director.
"A lot of it's based on science, and it's really kind of difficult to argue with science," Beckett said. "It's not about beliefs or opinions."
Not everyone shares Beckett's confidence that such an ordinance is necessary.
"I think you've got laws in place right now," Craig Mayor Don Jones said. "All you've got to do is enforce them."
Grand Futures and the Youth Wellness Initiative in Moffat County - which recently became a task force of Grand Futures to eliminate service duplication between the two groups, Beckett stated in an e-mail - have tentatively planned to bring Underwood to Craig from March 30 to April 3.
Underwood could speak to city counselors, Moffat County commissioners, parents and students, Beckett said, adding that these details have not been set in stone.
Costs of hiring Underwood are estimated at about $5,000. Grand Futures and the Youth Wellness Initiative put in a grant application for that sum to Yampa Valley Community Foundation. The local group granted Grand Futures half of its request.
Grand Futures and Wellness Initiative members plan to solicit donations from Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association and other local organizations to secure the remaining $2,500, Beckett said.
Underwood's presentations won't guarantee that a social host ordinance will pass in Craig.
A similar measure in Steamboat failed in a 3-to-3 vote at a Steamboat Springs City Council meeting in December. One councilor was absent for the vote. A previous bid for a social host ordinance fell in 2006.
Beckett thinks Moffat County has a better chance of passing an ordinance that cites adults for allowing minors to drink on their property.
He pointed to Craig's municipal court as an entity that could impose penalties to those who violate the ordinance.
Craig's municipal court issues fines for traffic violations, City Manager Jim Ferree said, but it also can penalize people who break certain city ordinances.
He added that he couldn't say whether the municipal court would fine adults who host underage drinkers.
Craig's municipal court could mete out jail sentences for violation of a social host ordinance, Craig City Attorney Kenny Wohl said.
But Beckett doesn't know yet whether penalties for violating the host ordinance would include jail time.
"We'll just kind of see where it takes us," he said.
Grand Futures and the Youth Wellness Initiative plan to lobby the City Council in June or July to consider instituting a social host ordinance in Craig.
Grand Futures has posted a survey on its Web site, www.grandfutures.org, to gather community input on a proposed social host ordinance.

I believe that this would be a start for a good tool to help begin to curb some of the underage drinking that goes on in this day and age. I hear it from co-workers and other all the time. They ask me to think back when I was a teen and how whether I drank or not. Even though I didn't, that is not the issue. This is a totally different world we live in today than it was in the 60's and 70's. Back then if a teen was picked up by the police, they usually took the kid home. That cannot happen today. If it did, and the child went back out and was found later hurt or worse. The city, or county would be open for a horrific lawsuit. The time has come for adults and children to understand that this is no longer acceptable behavior. Cars, cell phones, television, video games, sporing activities, money and stores should be more than enough to keep the youth of today occupied. They don't need to be drinking.

no offense at all, but I think als is more out of touch than he realizes, as are most people when it comes to substance abuse..
More laws? Punishing people more and more? Does the problem seem to be getting better anywhere? Is the Drug War working, and are laws like this working in any other community?
The answer is a resounding NO. The only people who believe programs like this work are incredibly naive and out of touch with todays youth, and society. People understand the cost of a life, and they understand when they are doing something that is a detriment to themselves. People still do it. We have a Dug Task Force that thinks it can make a difference, and all it does is make more money for LEO and the Court system. To think the fed govmt has tried to fix both underage drinking, and drug use accorss the board, and that our little town of Craig can make a bigger difference is a huge mistake and is asking for more trouble and more problems than what its worth.
Its also proven that all anti-drug and anti-whatever programs cause teens and the people they are pitched to in a school setting to not abstain from using, but to use more. There are multiple studies by the government and outside sources that prove this. See these: http://www.jointogether.org/news/research/summaries/2008/national-anti-drug-campaign.html AND EVEN SCARIER http://www.drugpolicy.org/library/factsheets/dare/index.cfm
The Netherlands and other countries have a different approach to Drugs and Alcohol and have pretty much stomped out their major problems with underage alcohol use and hard drug use across the board.
We are joking ourselves if we think we can do anything but teach people the best we can, and then when there are problems to treat the issue, not throw a book and handcuffs at it. Especially for usually minor crimes like drinking or smoking pot. Draconian rule and pressure from the big wigs does nothing for anyone. I think we learned this during prohibition and never took the lesson past it.
The more you try to fight the use of chemical substances the more people are going to use it. When you treat the problem, and understand the REAL information about drugs and alcohol by being taught responsibly, and being cared for responsibly then maybe we wouldn't have anything to worry about.
I know, kinda long winded thoughts, but you and I and the rest of the world could argue anything on these topics for centuries on end. But why do we? And why not try something different?
Good Times,
Tim Martin.
als362 6 years ago
To Tim; The object of an ordinance of this nature is to catch the children BEFORE they become abusers. For many, now they are experimenting, or trying to impress a freind. Besides, I do know a little about substance abuse. I am an alcoholic. And I know I must never take a drink again. With a law like this, maybe some kids that might have taken the path I did, could be redirected. Who knows maybe their parents or another adult, might even realize that giving alcohol to kids is really not the smartest thing in the world to do. I doubt anyone wants to lock them up and throw away the key. But perhaps if they can be shaken up a bit, maybe we won't have another child fall off a cliff.
JDR4 6 years ago
You think another law is going to stop it?
You think making someone else besides the parent is the responsible way to go?
I think that might be part of what got us into this failed attempt to fix a problem.
saunders 6 years ago
These types of laws have been very successful in many communities around the country and are just a piece of what needs to be done to address the situation our community and nation find are selves in. I offer this scenario. Police bust a party at a 24 year old males home minors are cited for MIPS (minor in possession) and questioned on whom bought the alcohol. No one names names. They are already in trouble why lose their supplier in the process. The following week they are all back at the same house doing the same thing. Is the 24 year old male the supplier? I believe most would assume so. A social hosting ordinance would give our officers the tool needed to cite the home owner regardless of who bought the alcohol and hopefully deter him from continuing to providing not only alcohol but a place for it to be consumed. In an environment like the one in our scenario not only is drinking controlled but couldn't other criminal acts such as vandalism, assault, sexual assault and even deaths be prevented? I do agree that this is by no means a cure all for underage drinking but if increased awareness and education along with law enforcement begin to work together it is an issue we can overcome.
In a previous post these were cited.
"See these: http://www.jointogether.org/news/researc: and even scarier http://www.drugpolicy.org/library/factsh:"
Over the years prevention people have learned the hard way about what does and does not work. Scare tactic ads worked well in the short term but in the long run they did more harm than good. Advertising now is more geared around positive behaviors and empowering our youth.
Such as
I invite you all to consider the following questions. What do you think of when some says they drink? Does that mean 1 or 2 drinks? Does it mean they regularly get drunk? If I say my Aunt Lori drinks what enters your mind? I she an alcoholic to you?
I believe that if 20 people read this there would be 20 different definitions which is part of the problem. We have no clear definitions around alcohol and all have different thoughts, opinions and experiences surrounding it. I invite you to consider what drink means to each of us. Until we all get on the same page and clearly define what drinking is and what is acceptable topics surrounding alcohol can be difficult.
JDR4 6 years ago
I think everyone is quite clear on the definition of what is acceptable alcohol use and unacceptable. Both in binge and long term use. At least I hope our laws and society have formed those in most people. The fact thats even questioned is...
First off, from the sound of it Saunders you are part of Law Enforcement, and with all due respect I think that bias alone is enough to disregard anything you have to say on the topic. I think we understand LEO opinions on the topics. Every answer law enforcement has is to clamp down harder, and put harsher punishments as "tools" to help solve the problem. I think you have more than enough "tools" on your side to enforce the laws we already have. And enough money at that also. Just switch where the money goes to. More laws and regulation are not needed and its proven they will not solve a thing, and in FACT increase the problem most of the times.
I think most people understand or should understand the sites you posted to, Own Your Own C and ANYTHING the ONDCP has to do with are mocked in the real world and a sincere failure and waste of taxpayers money. Have you looked around lately and seen how much of a joke the commercials that the ONDCP puts out? Or those ridiculous Own Your Own C commercials? What kid/teen/adult is going to take them seriously and not make fun of them all day in school when they are shown and then create spoofs on the internet about the hilarious and outrageously ineffective commercials. AND worse, Ive already shown you the people who run the programs mentioned are beginning to understand the ineffectiveness and damage they cause and are thinking of how they can abandon them. BUT others still hold on to a sinking ship?! All this plays into how much adding more laws and putting more pressure on anti-whatever campaigns dont work, and how they are damaging down the road. They shove the problem under the carpet and are feel good fixes. The real problem is with parenting, and responsibility. Commercials and law enforcement as a substitute for parenting has proven its effectiveness. And still we continue to pass it off and make more ridiculous rules and legislation.
If it comes down to a policing job, and gathering clues to who provided alcohol? You need to prove who provided it, im sorry. But, in your scenario of the 24 yo, seems to me he already has laws to cover whats going on and pinning something on someone that you cant prove fully seems like a joke to me. There are laws for underage parties, and if you need help at policing, well...

The fact you are all having this conversation just reinforces the social change that is taking place in your town. Underage Drinking is not going to stop, but certain groups are mandated to build awareness and to "try". Try to make something good come of this. There is a martyr in your community, you just know when he/she will go. (One who will make a sacrifices or suffers in order to further a belief or cause).
As soon as a kid in your community dies for the negative behavior, your tone will change. MAYBE not your tone........, until it's YOUR KID. "Too many Laws..?" What if the Mayor's kid dies in someone's home due to binge drinking and positional asphyxiation?" Do you actually believe he won't care...........he'll want the home owner or renters a$$. He won't chalk it up to a "Rite of Passage", he'll sue for the death of his kid. And if Law Enforcement does not make reasonable attempts to deter the event and someone dies..........the Mayor can write the check. What's your kid, niece, nephew worth to you?
There are 1,000 laws on your books. Which ones do you want your Officers to enforce? Just the ones that don't effect you or make your life easy? Oh yeah, and the ones that pick on the children? Maybe the law won't change things, however I have seen Stop signs work. I have also seen what happens when people don't obey them too. If you don't like a law, stop blogging all day and get out of your mother's basement. Contact a local legislator, hire an attorney, blah blah blah.
Maybe it's time Steamboat Springs started doing something in the best interest of its kids, instead of what's in the best interest of its adults. It's called accountability. Don't worry Mr. Martin, this law will only effect you if you provided drugs/alcohol to persons under 21 in your residence.
Saunders and als362 you are right on track. I know you make up the majority of folks that are doing things right. Mr. NIMROD perhaps clarification would help. There is a loop-hole in your current law. The Social Host closes that. You see, if you provide a venue or a place for youth to consume alcohol and drugs, you in turn are the problem. Since only about 14% of adults are arrested for providing the alcohol, it only makes since to target the house party. The party ends up being an issue for neighbors. Parking, littering, urinating and puking, DUI's that leave and endanger the rest of the community. These are not things the general public want to deal with when they wake up to get their morning paper.
JDR4 6 years ago
Ahhah, the "It only effects you if you do it" excuse to pass a law. Nice one. Very effective on some.
But seriously, I'm all for responsibility and making people accountable for their actions, Ive been accountable for mine. But I also know there are plenty of laws on the books to cover what is happening and it does nothing to fix anything and will only cause more problems. Enforce the laws that are there and do some good policing and thats all thats needed. Oh, And maybe split that pipeline of money funding for the drug war and other failure programs and bend em towards treatment. Dump some money into that, but that would mean we were really serious about fixing and helping people, and we cant have anything but a hard approach can we? Maybe really implement some serious and responsible education. Lying to kids in a DARE class about alcohol and drugs only works until they are old enough to realize you duped 'em. And to put more laws on the books, and to create a bigger police state is a mistake in America. Is pushes away responsibility. Once again, its not just me saying this but study after study, and more and more Americans.
I didnt want to bring them up but the community in Craig has seen a few hard losses due to alcohol in the past few years, and one incident even involved people over the legal drinking age. And I know Steamboat has had its troubles with alcohol also. And I have seen multiple tragedies and friends pass because of alcohol. So, the other excuse of "youll change your tone when it happens to you" is dry also.
I also think its important to note that some colleges are pushing for the legal drinking age to be lowered. Not to prevent people from getting tickets or arrested, but as a learning tool and a deterrent away from binge drinking. There are also many models of alcohol consumption throughout the world and what age is acceptable, and the younger the better in most places say the studies. See, it seems sometimes, when you make something less rebellious, people respond with less rebellion. (lil sarcasm and 5am reasoning)

"But I also know there are plenty of laws on the books to cover what is happening and it does nothing to fix anything and will only cause more problems. Enforce the laws that are there and do some good policing and thats all thats needed"..............Not knowing all the laws you are referring to I guess we can start by saying Marijuana possession is illegal, a misdemeanor but still illegal. Consuming alcoholic beverages while being under the age of 21 is illegal. I suppose there are several police in your town that look the other way....well there's setting an example, and example of dereliction of duty. Where is there accountability? I guess if those in Craig have had to feel the pain of loosing a loved one like I have, why do they continue the same path and why would they not want change?
I'm just saying all laws should be enforced equally. I have my doubts too, (LIKE YOU) about the floundering DARE program. It's ineffective. I do agree funding should be funneled in to treatment as well. Maybe instead of DARE, there should be a course on the legal ramifications for negative/illegal behavior. Maybe youth need to know the consequences of their actions, so that they can make an educated choice on whether or not to involve themselves in it. I mean.....the young mind does not even finish developing until its over 21 or so. The last things to develop is Moral Reasoning and Judgment. The brain can only repair itself so much as it grows.
The college issue is a Joke. This comes from administrators to scared to deal with the issue. To scared of a few rich parents complaining. Hey, if you want your Ivy League college to have the highest drop out rate, not to mention the bad reputation for being a party school. College is a social environment and so is drinking. Kids don't drink to be responsible, they drink to get drunk. Only 7% of of college Freshman state they started drinking in college, which is sad, because that means, the rest of them were drinking in High School. Drop the drinking age and you will have more incidents associated with alcohol, rape, unplanned pregnancy, assaults and property crime.
I guess it's were we get our data on European drinking habits and what we believe, heres were I got mine. If anyone has other resources I would be interested in seeing them.
I'm much of a drinker or smoker but I'll have to visit your little community soon, sounds like a quaint little drinking town with a skiing problem.

Some good points you make also. Why do we allow people to abuse alcohol to an extent, and yet a SAFER drug is illegal and available. Just one example Shows our hypocrisy and how much damage we are willing to put up with... Sad.

WOW, How did I miss this?
JDR4, I can already tell where you stand. You are for the legalization of pot. Just say it and quit being a baby about it. No matter what all drugs are harmful. Your logic does not hold up. Instead of hoping for the legalization of Pot, a very dangerous and negative drug, your campaign would be better to outlaw alchol. Especially since you seem to be such a saint and worried about the safety of others.
How can you call the war on drugs a failure? It is not, but it is not really a battle that can be won, ever. It is one that we must pursue for the good of our country, our young people and future. Drug use no matter the form is harmful and causes negative effects, even when closely watched by medical officials. Simply put the drug war has: Taken billons of dollars of cocaine, other drugs off the street. It has locked up many individuals who not only violated crimes with drug use and distribution, but also tend to commit robberies, and all other sorts of issues.
When it comes to DARE you might be greatly surprised at how effective it can be. There are students who actually take it serious. In high school the number of students who are drinking and or using drugs has decreased nationally since the 1990s. Can we keep every kid off of drugs? NO. DARE can only do so much. It is a tool for prevention, specifically early prevention. It is focused on keeping young students off of drugs. For the most part it keeps the target population free of drugs. The real issue is after the DARE there is nothing. Maybe a class at high school and few church based programs, boys and girls club programs etc. Again it is just a tool for prevention. Just like the possibility of jail time is a tool of prevention, just like sports, or family, parents. driving etc. They all have place. There are kids who do not drink simply because it is illegal. Oterhs do nto do it, because it is dangerous and harmful. Etc. The real issue I see is how people just like yourself seem to think it is ok. I did and I am fine is a horrible attitude. Or they make hte mistake pay the price. Why should we sit back and worry about recovery etc. when we can prevent it?
The whole thing is backwards. As far as the original law? It is a good idea. There are adults/parents in this town that allow parties on the property. SOme of which the parties have cost the community greatly. There are families with land who allow he kids to have parties etc. It is wrong and should be punishable by law. If a person knowingly and willful allows minors to consume alochol then they should be guilty of a crime, especially if that minor is not thier son or daughter.
Pass the law and start writing the tickets to the creeps who encourage the problem.

Every time some one says "There ought to be a law." in essence what they are saying is that they should further limit/take away the freedom we now have. Freedom that thousands have died to protect. There are people at the Federal, State, and Local level who are paid (quite well I might add) to do nothing but pass new laws. At what point do we say, "you've taken away enough of our freedom already please stop." But not to worry there will always be someone who wants the GOVERNMENT to take care of EVERYTHING and they will say "there ought to be a law", so I'll say it. There ought to be a law that says NO MORE LAWS!!!!!!!!!

I get the feeling that many people posting on this article is 100% for this law but......where is common sense? oh, by the way the other neighbors are dealing drugs out of their homes but, there is not enough evidence to get a search warrant and arrest them.

Rainbow--I took a tips class years ago, and that is what they said. A parent can supply their own child only--not all his friends --in their home. I don't know if it applies to all their property or not-outdoors.
Deter 6 years ago
Rainbow and grannyrett you are correct - only a parent can provide alcohol to one's child. It is their right (as long it is not the point of intoxication), and no one else can do that. The social host law does apply to private residences, and is directed to whomever is in charge of the premises at the time.
Craig_gal: Yes you can give alcohol to your own kid - I don't know what you intend to teach them, but it's my problem.
Also if your neighbors are dealing drugs, call the cops. But to give you a little heads up, they need a little more then you saying "they do drugs, and that there is a lot of in and out traffic". Cops love to bust drug dealers and dopers. I don't know what to tell if nothing comes of it - other than if it's a rental company let them know and they'll do walk-thru's - let them tell the cops, this lets you off the hook in case of any retaliation by them.
Hey NIMROD!! Have you been paying attention at all. It has nothing to do with your freedom. It allows enforcement action on idiots that let your kids drink in their home.
Craig_gal 6 years ago
Deter, it has everything to do with freedom. I do not condone children drinking and I do not believe it is right that someone else would allow minors to drink in their home but if a parent knows where, when, and with whom I think it needs to be okay with you. The adults that are hosting big parties for minors are acting irresponsible but the law is not looking at numbers, it is looking at everyone's private homes, and yards. Don't blink you'll miss another freedom, oops there goes another law.

Here is what the state law says CRS 18-13-122 (2) (a) Any person under twenty-one years of age who possesses or consumes ethyl alcohol anywhere in the state of Colorado commits illegal possession or consumption of ethyl alcohol by an underage person.
(3) It shall be an affirmative defense to the offense described in subsection (2) of this section that the ethyl alcohol was possessed or consumed by a person under twenty-one years of age under the following circumstances:
(a) While such person was legally upon private property with the knowledge and consent of the owner or legal possessor of such private property and the ethyl alcohol was possessed or consumed with the consent of his parent or legal guardian who was present during such possession or consumption;
and 18-6-701. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
(1) Any person who induces, aids, or encourages a child to violate any federal or state law, municipal or county ordinance, or court order commits contributing to the delinquency of a minor. For the purposes of this section, the term "child" means any person under the age of eighteen years.
(2) Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is a class 4 felony.

Who calls people who do meth or heroin dopers anymore? Dope is now strictly a term for Cannabis. Shows how out of touch some of us are... And yes, i am for the legalization of pot, because when was the last time a Cannabis user caused any harm to you or anyone?
If we looked at drugs in a responsible way, and not a "lock up up and throw away the key" approach, maybe we could get more work done, and maybe there wouldnt be multiple generations of people now who despise or in no way want anything to do with law enforcement, or much less work with them in a positive way.
Seriously though, if the last two posts on here dont say enough, then there isnt anything else to add. If you all think that this is going to stop the drinking problem, and do anything else besides create an easier path for parents to blame others for their shortfalls, or shove more people into "education" programs about how alcohol is bad. mmmmmkayyy. Makes perfect sense to me. Working with a program and a system that has failed for over 30 years now.
I feel sorry for those of you who are still clinging to the failed system. Get out and actually do something yourself, like get an addiction counselor/specialist license...
Enforce the laws that exist. Seems to me they are sufficient enough. And if you want a nanny state, go live in jolly ol' England.
Besides, t he police know who the problems are, and who is dealing. They either 1) Have insufficient evidence to do anything about it or 2) Flat out dont do a damn thing because of some reason or another. Dont kid yourself and think this towns police force is ignorant to what happens and when. They just have issues implementing certain things...
