Sandy Hook Kindly Grandpa (Gene Rosen) Being Harassed
Submitted by laurelai on Tue, 01/15/2013 - 13:23He's getting e mails asking how much he was paid, hang-up calls etc.
Yahoo's comments are mainly from those who have no questions about all of his conflicting stories the day of "the incident".

the list of the deceased children
how exactly did Rosen see the list of children killed TWO DAYS BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED? anyone? CNN? FOX? MSNBC? real investigative reporting is dead & died whan JFK was murdered..the only thing left that comes close to real journalism is Ben Swann
it made me sick to watch these MSM talking heads interview Rosen & listen to his babbling,ridiculous horsechit,& never once ask a pertinent question about his absurd,ever changing story depending on who was interviewing him.. maybe a question like:
why didn't you call the police or 911 Gene?

Gene Rosens fairytail
lets see ..6 children were hiding in Ms Soto's classroom closet..they escaped & made their way to the school's exit[when the school was in total lock down..amazing accomplishment already]..the 6 children then ran across the school parking lot..a parking lot just crawling with police officers & others w/o being noticed by anyone & hailed a school bus..the bus apparently picked them up & the children demanded to be dropped off at the end of Gene Rosen's driveway..they were dropped off there,about 1,000 ft from the S.H.school,the 6 children then proceeded to sit down in a nice,neat semi circle in Rosen's lawn at/by the end of the driveway..for some unknown reason the school bus driver started yelling at the children,as Gene came upon them..
after ..#1 he had just finished feeding the cats..
or #2.. Gene had just come back from eating breakfast at a local diner..
or #3 ..Gene was was headed for the diner.
or #4 Gene was out for a morning walk [take your pick as Rosen has told all 4 versions in 9 different interviews..
Gene finds out that the school bus driver knows none of the children's names on the school bus.. but.. lo & behold..the good lord above was shining his light down on Gene Rosen that day because..
the bus driver's supervisor somehow knows all 6 children's names!
Gene then invites the 6 children inside this house[where is Mrs Rosen? where is the bus driver? where is the bus?
A: vaporized into thin air & now rest next to the Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon]..there are 4 boys & 2 girls or there are 3 boys & 3 girls.. Gene has told both versions in different interviews..in one interview one little girl was frantic..frantic & out of her head..in another interview the children were very quiet.quiet as mice..in yet another interview Gene says the children were out of their minds with fear & telling Gene over & over "we can't go back there..we can't go back there..Ms. Soto is dead ..we can't go back" Ms. Soto is dead & they talked of blood & it was awful says Gene..
one immediately wonders why Rosen never calls 911..he never calls the police either or walks down to the fire house to tell someone..anyone..he has 6 children in his house from Sandy Hook!!he only calls the children's parents from the numbers he got from the school bus drivers SUPERVISOR..when exactly did Gene get the childrens names & phone #'s names from the bus drivers supervisor? he never does tell us..about 20-30 minutes later the children's parents begin arriving at Gene's SMALL house to pick up their screaming,quiet children..one ladies face is "FROZEN" in fear when she arrives..many parents also come over to Gene's stuffed animal party to see if their children are there & one again wonders why these parents coming over to the Rosen house NEVER..EVER.. call a police officer or 911?..one has to wonder why not even one of the hundreds of police officers right next door at Sandy Wagged the Hook elementary & the Firehouse ever come over to pay Gene & the 6 children a little visit?
conclusion: Eugene Rosen's story is the biggest,smelliest pile of horsechit I've ever smelled or heard in my life & is acting is absolutely atrocious
..& oh yeah..this Gene Rosen fella?
he IS a crisis actor [& a mason] & the black Honda that had the Bushmaster rifle in the trunk you saw on TV?..that very same car is sitting in Gene's driveway with the drivers side window smashed out & a white towel over the drivers window.[must be tough to look out the side rear view mirror while driving it.. ey Gene?] the police must have smashed the glass out to get into the car [that DIDN"T belong to Adam Lanza btw] & look for more weapons & any other evidence as part of the crisis DRILL at Sandy Hook that day..
please watch the Sandy Hook conspiracy video & you'll get the gist of this post & why Gene Rosen should be immediately cuffed,stuffed & taken downtown
he won't be..why? because he WAS a part of the Sandy Hook children's crisis "DRILL" that kinda went live and was going on that particular day at Sandy Hook Elementary..we never see any children wounded or dead..no EMS..1 ambulance blocked in by 10 cars..they refuse to release any video footage of what happened that day & Sandy Hook had just installed a state of the art video surveillance system ..the ME/coroner is a nutjob,who thinks the whole "supposed" Sandy Hook shoot um up is funny as he gives the press this wild, wacky,nearly unintelligible press conference....the parents never shed one real tear [or a fake tear either for that matter] in any MSM interview..none of it adds up..nothing make sense..the live TV video shows folks just moping around doing nothing..where are the hurt,wounded, & dead childre!..the whole thing stinks to hi heaven..just like 9-11..Waco..OKC..Gulf of Tonkin..Pearl Harbor..JFK..etc etc etc..

report says 6 kids were shot trying to escape
"Lanza next arrived at teacher Victoria Soto's classroom. Soto is believed to have hidden her 6- and 7-year old students in a classroom closet. When Lanza demanded to know where the children were, Soto tried to divert him to the other end of the school by saying that her students were in the auditorium.
But six of Soto's students tried to flee. Lanza shot them, Soto and another teacher who was in the room. Later, in their search for survivors, police found the remaining seven of Soto's students still hiding in the closet. They told the police what had happened."\

Despicable in any case
Going after persons in this town based on our suspicions is beneath us. We have good reason not to believe what's reported but that's not good reason to potentially traumatise an already (potentially) bereaved community.
That society no longer follows rules of good and decent conduct doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't. I urge restraint in this matter as regards these people.
Most of those who think so actually don't and most of those who think sew actually rip.

Beneath me, but I don't speak for anyone else.
I DO know about provocateurs, though. Often deployed when people are asking hard questions to throw "strawman" arguments into the mix to distract from any demand for answers, no matter how reasonable. Familiar with that tactic?
I know LOTS of people with questions about Rosen's highly inconsistent interviews, and not one of them has said a word to Rosen in any format. HE got on TV and put on his show, no one forced him to stand in front of a camera over and over and over and tell different stories each time.

I'll second that
It seems unreasonable to believe that kids weren't killed. I support getting to the truth, but quite frankly, we are supposed to be the movement of liberty and here we are advocating violating this guys rights based on a hunch.

who is this "we"?
that are for violating another's rights?
i have read none of that here
what? do you think because the post is about
getting truth,that somehow "we" here on the DP
are somehow responsible for the actions of others?
i see no one here advocating anything like what has
been suggested

I'm not sure who was more bizarre - Gene or the medical
examiner. My very first thought when I saw Rosen's interview was that no kids should have been allowed into his home. That aside, way too many conflicting reports, particularly regarding Soto's class deaths & survivors.

All these Soft news sites are showing their colors right now. RT started with their anti Sandy Hook conspiracy jingles immediately too. Noce to see the players and what teams they play for... sometimes. Gene Rosen somehow saw the Fatality list two days before it was created. That's enough of a red flag for me to look deeper, and oh what a cache of lying, bad acting, bloopers, and threats. Don't let em off the HOOK.

United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan
Western District of Washington
Seattle Couple Sentenced To Prison For Defrauding Aid Programs Intended For The Poor
Couple Lived in Waterfront Home, Traveled Widely and Bought Expensive Jewelry
A Seattle couple was sentenced today to prison terms for theft of government funds for defrauding state and federal benefit programs intended to provide a safety net for the poor and vulnerable, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. The chiropractor, DAVID SILVERSTEIN, 60, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, an additional $30,000 criminal fine and three years of supervised release. SILVERSTEIN's long time live-in partner, LYUDMILA SHIMONOVA, 53, was sentenced to 18 months in prison and three years of supervised release. SHIMONOVA was ordered to pay more than $261,000 in restitution. SILVERSTEIN has already paid $333,970 which includes more than $160,000 in restitution and a civil penalty of more than $173,000. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez said the pair fraudulently collected benefits, "denying truly needy families the help they needed…. They did it while not needing anything at all."
"While this couple was fraudulently accepting Section 8 housing benefits, hundreds of needy families languished on the waiting list. For eight years this fraud denied truly needy families the opportunity to obtain decent housing," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "They stole funds intended to provide food, cash and medical assistance to the poor. In short, these defendants enriched themselves by victimizing the most vulnerable members of the community. Today they are held accountable."
According to the plea agreements, the couple began defrauding HUD in 2003, when they falsely claimed that SILVERSTEIN was SHIMONOVA's landlord who was accepting rent for her and her two children to live at his waterfront property. SILVERSTEIN fraudulently stated that he was not living at the house and posed as SHIMONOVA's landlord, not her romantic partner. SILVERSTEIN used the address of his chiropractic practice on correspondence with HUD to conceal the fact that he was living in the waterfront property. SILVERSTEIN collected more than $1,250 each month as rent payments from HUD on behalf of SHIMONOVA. The couple even went so far as to submit a fraudulent "Eviction Notice" in October 2003, so that they could collect $750 in emergency rent assistance as a "damage deposit" on the home. SHIMONOVA and SILVERSTEIN lied about their living circumstances to qualify for the HUD benefits.
SHIMONOVA further lied about her personal financial circumstances to qualify for food and medical benefits from DSHS, as well as Supplemental Security Income payments. These programs are available only to people with less than $2,000 in total assets. Beginning in 1995, SHIMONOVA claimed to have no assets other than a small balance in a checking account. In fact she had a life insurance policy with a cash value exceeding $2,000 making her ineligible for assistance. In 2003, after beginning her relationship with SILVERSTEIN, she continued to lie about her resources. In annual reports to DSHS and Social Security she claimed poverty while owning a platinum and diamond ring appraised at $12,500 and diamond earrings worth $17,000. She also owned certificates of deposit of more than $30,000. Any one of these assets disqualified her from the assistance programs. Between 1999 and 2011 she fraudulently collected $84,000 from DSHS. Between 2005 and 2011 she fraudulently collected $60,124 from Social Security.
In the request for prison sentences for both SILVERSTEIN and SHIMONOVA prosecutors wrote to the court, "When people lie to social agencies about the basic circumstances of their lives, these agencies must use their budgets to detect and investigate fraud instead of delivering benefits. Deliberate fraud also rightly outrages taxpayers, causing public cynicism about social welfare programs and undermining support for programs needed by the poor. In all of these ways, defendants' offenses are an assault on the community's ability to deliver resources to the destitute."
This case was investigated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (HUD-OIG), the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General (SSA-OIG) and the Department of Social and Health Services Office of Fraud and Accountability.
The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Seth Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson is an attorney with the Social Security Administration specially designated to prosecute fraud cases in federal court. The civil litigation in this case was pursued by Assistant United States Attorneys Harold Malkin and Kayla Stahman.

"What was most suprising was that it was so unsurprising. It was exactly as expected: lots of masculine/feminine trouser suits, some beautiful wafty dresses and poet's blouses (most of which we've seen before on Kate Moss and Stevie Nicks, although perhaps not always in quite such luxe fabrications) and a cool soundtrack, edited for the show by Daft Punk. Crucially, what was lacking was the frisson of the unexpected – that challenging jolt that only a really strong show delivers."

I know a guy with ADD, and he has to be on medication to control his symptoms. He had so much trouble focusing on anything and completing any chores around the house that his last girlfriend left him.
I can see how it would be frustrating to be in a relationship with someone who could never get one thing done before moving onto the next. However, it is a disorder, and if you enter a relationship with someone, you have to take that into account.
Now that he's on medication, he's like a different person. He's more calm, and he concentrates hard on each thing that he's doing before moving onto something else.

Confit of Peppers & Asparagus Tips:
Cook the olive oil over high heat until it sizzles, then lower the heat to medium-low. Add the shallot, stir well, and cook for 2 minutes, then add the peppers and the asparagus, and mix together. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring well, for 2 more minutes.
Add the garlic and the red pepper flakes, and stir well for 1 minute. Then add the brandy and cook 1 more minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the butter, and stir well until completely melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the optional truffle oil, stirring well before serving.
Set aside and keep warm until ready to use.
Asparagus Soup:
In a stockpot, heat the extra light tasting olive oil over high heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, carrots, thyme and red pepper flakes to the pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring well, until the onions begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the asparagus pieces and half of the tips.
Add the sherry, bring to a boil, and stir well to dislodge the brown bits at the bottom of the pot. Cook until the sherry is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring well every 15 minutes. Add the soup, in batches, to a food processor and process it to a smooth, cream-like consistency. Strain, place the soup back in the stockpot, and keep warm.
Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with sour cream and fresh dill. Decorate with the confit of peppers and asparagus tips.

WASHINGTON -- The Navy is taking over management control and reducing Lockheed Martin's role in the sea service's largest missile-launching system as part of an effort to cut costs.
Instead of paying Lockheed to acquire and integrate the components of the Mark 41 Vertical Launching System, as it has since the 1980s, the Navy is buying the mechanical launch platform directly from London-based BAE Systems, formerly a Lockheed subcontractor.
Lockheed, based in Bethesda, Maryland, will continue to provide and install electronics, which account for about 55 percent of the missile launcher's production cost, said Toan Nguyen, the Navy's program manager for the system. BAE's portion accounts for the other 45 percent.
"We are the system integrator now," Nguyen said in an interview Sept. 12. "All the work done before by the contractor, now the Navy team will have to do it.' "
The Navy has spent about $1.5 billion on the system's production contracts since 2004, Stephanie Collins, a Navy spokeswoman, said in a Sept. 15 email. The system has been ordered for 112 U.S. Navy ships to launch missiles including Tomahawks and Evolved Sea Sparrows, both made by Waltham, Mass.-based Raytheon, she said.
The shift to in-house integration will result in significant savings because the Navy will avoid fees Lockheed charged to acquire equipment and labor costs it billed for overseeing BAE's work, said Capt. Timothy Batzler, the Navy's major program manager for surface ship weapons.
The Navy estimates it will save more than $1 million per launch module, Collins said in an email. The Navy has ordered 1,336 shipboard modules since the system was deployed in 1986, she said.
The new acquisition strategy follows principles for achieving "better buying power" outlined in a memo to acquisition officers last year from Ashton Carter, at the time the Pentagon's top weapons buyer, Nguyen said.
Program managers "should be scrutinizing every element of program cost" and "dissecting overheads and indirect costs" to find ways to improve affordability, according to the September 2010 memo from Carter, who was confirmed Sept. 23 as the deputy secretary of defense.
Other military acquisition programs could see similar changes as contracting officers respond to Carter's directives, said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Arlington, Va.-based Lexington Institute.
"All the services are under pressure to reduce overhead by removing fee-on-fee arrangements. The question is whether the government understands all the skills and costs associated with taking over the task," he said. "You can't simply assume they will understand all the technical issues that come with being a systems integrator."
If the Navy's procurement strategy for the missile launcher becomes a trend throughout the Defense Department, "it will reduce the profitability of major defense contractors who counted on systems integration to be one of their core competencies," he said.
'A fallback option'
A shift toward government-led systems integration could create opportunities for smaller contractors that focused on services, said Todd Harrison, a defense analyst at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
"It would bring in a slightly different crowd of contractors," he said in a Sept. 20 interview.
The government may find that it lacks some skills required for systems integration and could turn to companies including Northern Virginia firms such as SAIC, Booz Allen Hamilton and CACI International that provide systems engineering support and don't manufacture weapons, Harrison said.
"They would be a fallback option" to assist the government as it takes over primary responsibility for systems integration from the private sector, he said. Larger contractors such as Lockheed, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman typically perform systems integration only when the entire integration function is outsourced, Harrison said.
The Navy may add workers at its Warfare Centers, which are responsible for equipping the fleet, because of the changed missile-launcher acquisition strategy, Batzler said. The program office staff responsible for acquiring the launch system doesn't expect to grow.
Lockheed, the world's biggest defense company, received an $80 million contract and BAE received a $55 million award in June to supply at least three Aegis destroyers with 36 launch modules and provide an additional module for an on-shore facility.

Being a gun owner for sporting purposes, and believing in the restoration of the right to armed self defence for UK citizens, I am firmly camped on the pro gun side.
As a UK citizen I believe my rights have been stripped from me by the government and find it very hard to understand why some US citizens want the same thing to happen to them.
In this post I'm going to take a look at some of their arguments. I'll start with one that cropped up during a Twitter engagement on Saturday night.
Gun control argument no. 1
The UK had 30 gun deaths last year. The USA had 11 thousand.
My previous point to Mary Bartula had been that gun control increases levels of violent crime. This has been evident throughout history and across the globe. The most recent examples being Australia and our very own UK.
The most obvious flaw in the comparison between gun deaths in the UK and USA is the vast population difference. There are sixty million people in the UK and a whopping three hundred and ten million in the US.
If you break that down and do the maths, the US has 35 more gun deaths per million population than the UK. In real terms, 2129 gun deaths to the UKs 30. Still high?
The trouble is, you can't just look at a reduction of gun deaths to decide if gun control works.
As a rule, most criminals do not hand their guns in to the authorities in the event of restrictions or a ban coming in to force. Gun control takes guns only from the law abiding.
One effect of this is that it does become harder for criminals who previously didn't own guns to get one, but not much more so. Over time the number of guns in criminals hands will go down.
Never the less, a murder is still a murder, if it's done with a gun, a knife or a cauliflower. A gun ban will not turn criminals into fluffy kittens, a person who wants to commit a violent crime will do so with whatever weapon is at their disposal.
Add to that a disarmed population and criminals who may have thought twice about committing that rape or mugging will now go ahead with the full knowledge that their target cannot fight back.
But you need to look at the bigger picture. As we saw in the video above, gun control leads to higher violent crime. Any lives saved by gun control will be more than offset by the lives lost as a result of gun control.
A disarmed population is an easy target for criminals, and they know it.
Let's look at another.
Gun control argument no. 2
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. With guns!
This is a response to the often said, "Guns don't kill people..." argument used by the pro gun lobby.
Both statements are true. It takes a particular person to pull a trigger and murder a person. That same person will kill with any weapon at his disposal. Gun, knife or cauliflower.
The target of legislation should be the murdering nut bag, not the law abiding citizen. This argument suggests that every gun is there to be used to kill someone and the only way to stop the deaths is to remove all the guns.
When a gun is used to kill then it's being misused. The military has guns to kill, that's what they do. Civilian guns are for defence and sport. When one of those is used to kill, punish the killer, not everyone else.
You could also engage in a grass roots policy of tackling the reasons why people want to kill, poverty, society, gang culture etc, but this would mean a long term plan. Politicians rarely think past the next election.
Gun control argument no. 3
If you need an assault weapon to kill a deer, you're in the wrong sport.
There are two fundamental flaws in the argument.
Machine guns have been banned in America since 1934. The current gun control debate surrounds semi auto rifles. With these guns you get one shot per pull of the trigger. They are perfectly suited for hunting and can also be customised to look more like a military weapon. Never the less, they are not.
I own one of these for clay pigeon shooting:
This is the same weapon with a different grip, stock and fore grip:
It may look scarier to those who are frightened of inanimate object but it is exactly the same gun.
The other point is, the 2nd amendment to the US constitution, the amendment that guarantees the right to bear arms, was not written with deer hunting in mind.
The 2nd amendment guarantees the right to bear arms so that the American people can defend themselves against the government. Funnily enough, the same people who are trying to take away that right.
The right to bear arms in the US is not for hunting, it's to prevent a government turning into a dictatorship.
Gun control argument no.4
The 2nd amendment was written in 1791 when the only guns were flintlocks and muskets. Times have changed, the constitution needs to change too.
Going back to the point above and the true meaning of the 2nd amendment, the US army of today does not use flintlocks and muskets. The US army has access to weapons the civilian population can only dream of.
The Department of Homeland Security has enough bullets to put five into every American citizen.
The Department of Homeland Security is rushing to finish the acquisition of 750 million rounds of high-power ammunition that has already raised many eyebrows. In one week, the DHS should start expecting an arsenal that will make some armies jealous.
Why is that? The DHS does not operate over seas, their only enemy are the American people themselves.
Flintlocks and muskets?
Gun control argument no 5.
We are not trying to ban guns, only to limit access to firearms that have no legitimate use on our streets.
No restriction is ever the last. We've seen that with gun control in the UK and Australia where we are all now effectively disarmed.
Once you allow the first control measure through, the next logical step is always around the corner.
Banning semi automatics will not stop crime. The ban won't be repealed when this becomes evident though, the next ban will be on the table.
Rifles, shotguns, handguns, knives bats and cauliflowers. You may be only looking for what you call 'sensible restrictions' now, but the endgame will be total disarmament of the populace.
Americans. Your right to bear arms is unique and very valuable. Please don't give it up. I live in the UK and I know where that road takes you.

I was never able to finish Farcry 2. Between jamming weapons, endlessly respawning enemy roadblocks, and quests determined to send me on the most remote journeys possible, I figured I could be better abused by other games. When it was revealed that the next installment of the series would seek to rectify these issues, I became interested again. Would Farcry 3 be the open-world shooter that the series originally intended to be? Can I really make ammo pouches out of dog skins? Perhaps it was time to return to the jungle.
Farcry 3 takes place behind the eyes of Jason Brody, a California dude who along with his rich friends have just finished taking the world's worst skydive. Finding themselves captured by pirates, Jason is forcibly introduced to Vaas, the pirate leader with a penchant for soliloquy and being insane. Fortunately, Vaas is so crazy that he allows Jason to escape the pirate camp, but only after killing Jason's brother. From there, it's a wet, hot tale of revenge as Jason attempts to rescue the rest of his friends and learn the way of the jungle warrior.
Just wait 'til I get out of this cage...
The game is populated by a diverse cast of characters who range from eccentric to manic. These characters, such as the aforementioned Vaas, the self-medicated Dr. Earnhardt, and the tattooed rapist Buck, all have personalities turned up past level ten till the dials fell off. They seem at first glance to be taken from the Rockstar Games book of writing (caricature equals character); however, the multitude of Alice in Wonderland quotes that fill Jason's head every time he is knocked unconscious give literary merit to their disposition. This island is Wonderland, and "everyone is mad here". Vaas is the most engaging of these characters, whose eyes bug out of his head as he quotes Einstein and ambushes Jason around every corner. He certainly has a Heath Ledger Joker quality about him but it is undermined by the fact that he never really DOES anything that crazy. There are no magic pencil moments here; still, he is undeserving of his inadequate sendoff and even more undeserving of his replacement in the second half of the game.
These characters inhabit the Rook Islands, a tropical paradise filled with all manner of plants, animals, and vicious pirates. Guns are the primary method of dealing with the human threat, and Farcry 3 gets this part very right. Weapons feel effective and satisfying with stealthy and noisy flavors of violence. Most of the weapons can be customized with a variety of sights and upgrades waiting to be purchased and equipped at the many island weapons dealers (many are self-service). But firearms are only the most basic tool to be found on the island. Plants can be harvested for healing syringes or for creating potent drugs to enhance abilities. Animals' hides lend themselves to the creation of ammo pouches and wallets. I spent most of the first part of the game running around the map trying to find enough boars to make a rucksack or hunting sharks to make a holster.
The game also borrows from Assassin's Creed and requires players to climb towers (inducing vertigo) to scan the area and reveal the map. Enemy held camps can be cleaned out to grant the use of free weapons and fast travel locations. This has the added bonus of removing the roaming pirates from the area as well. Clearing the camps is perhaps the most involving of the non-questing activities and requires a lot of stealth or, when that fails, firepower to prevent being overwhelmed by alarm responding reinforcements. Fortunately, many camps contain vicious tiger or bear cages which release their contents with only the slightest bullet impact. From there, the player can sit back and enjoy the scene as the beast tears through the camp eliminating all resistance. While this was initially enjoyable, it felt too easy and I often opted to challenge myself by taking on the task personally.
I think I can see my house from here.
As with most open-world games, there are plenty of quests to occupy the player's time. Most of these involve hunting a special animal or dealing with a small issue for the local villagers. The main draw in Farcry 3 are the storyline quests. These are generally well crafted with a lot of direction taken from standard FPS levels. There are few quests which hijack the open-world geometry to make cookie-cutter types of events but most include scripted sequences and set-piece encounters. The story through the 10 hour campaign is very linear, which would have been fine except for the fact that I had taken every opportunity to hunt animals for upgrades and clear enemy camps for free weapons. This created a very odd disconnection when Jason would complain about being unconfident or inexperienced even though he had theoretically killed tons of pirates with his machinegun.
The game includes two multiplayer options in the forms of competitive and cooperative modes. The competitive multiplayer is a very vanilla affair consisting of Team Deathmatch, two control point modes, and third control point variation involving fire. Team Deathmatch is completely unremarkable and the other two control point modes are slightly modified Domination and King of the Hill types of games. Only the Firestorm mode tries for a unique Farcry gametype but its use of the game's foliage burning mechanics is its only real innovation. The competitive multiplayer is mostly dragged down by uninspired weaponry, unimaginative skills, and very few kill-streak type bonuses. The frustrating menus also make choosing weapons and skills difficult. The most interesting aspect of the competitive multiplayer is the ability of the winning team to abuse or pardon a player from the losing team. These are pre-scripted animations that can be unlocked from the XP system and are often humorous and/or vulgar expressions of bad sportsmanship.
What is going to happen next?!
The cooperative multiplayer is a bit better: a group of 4 characters unrelated to the main story fight their way through levels filled with pirates. It is very reminiscent of Left4Dead and includes a number of scenarios such as rail-shooting, object retrieval, and objective defense. The characters and gameplay are fun and the whole experience is enjoyable. The only game breaking bug I found was in this mode, however, and it rendered our team unable to activate a key button to continue the level. Upon deciding that we would all commit suicide by various means, it became apparent that the bug had also granted me immortality and I could not fall on grenades, get shot in the face, or even swim out into the ocean and drown. This was the only bug in the game, but unfortunately it kept me from playing more co-op.
Most of the game has been created with a tremendous amount of skill. Everything is beautifully constructed and rendered from the shark infested waters to the shantytowns. The game is filled with small touches which are simply great, such as when leaping into water from a height, Jason's first-person hands form into a dive and upon hitting the water, the screen goes black as Jason closes his eyes. In fact, much of the character in this game comes from Jason's own disembodied hands which reach out pleadingly upon impaling his first pirate or the way he lifts his leg to scramble up a ledge. He is not a silent protagonist either, and is often heard commenting, conversing, or directing "himself" towards the next course of action. There is very little of the customary "run faster" dialogue from a guide NPC and most of the time it's just the player and Jason.
The sounds of the jungle are often the only thing heard on long lonely explorations. This is useful for hunting game, as animals often reveal their presence with a small oink or hoot. Nothing made me stop in my tracks like the growl of the jaguar hiding in a bush only a few feet away. The enemies come with a number of idle phrases which are often repeated. As it turned out, many pirates got the clap from the same island whore. It is often distracting that all the pirates as well as the natives of the island speak with the same Australian accent.
Overall, Farcry 3 is a great example of a successful open-world FPS; the gameplay is suited well to its environment and provides a great experience, the presentational quality of the game is top-notch and is very appealing even if some of the dialogue can distract. I found that most of what I disliked about the game didn't really affect how I felt when playing it, which is the best that anyone can hope for. I thoroughly recommend this game for fans of open-world shooters and encourage interested players to give it a try for a deeper shooter experience. I cannot recommend the competitive multiplayer to anyone over better online experiences in Call of Duty or other contemporary FPS games, but the co-op is worth a look for those looking for an interesting slant on Left4Dead type gameplay. I must say that Farcry 3 is very engaging and certainly takes several bold steps in a great direction.

Its my viewpoint that todays ideal procedures of leaders not only fall short to resolve the complications theyre meant to resolve or accomplish the results theyre meant to attain, they in fact escalate complications. Id like to suggest alternative techniques to just take their location. After all, reality has shifted and these who cling to previous methods that no more time serve them and maybe never did, will fail to thrive. Critically. Fail to thrive.
These days, I contact on the 2nd finest follow and hope to provoke your contemplating, in subsequent entries, concerning all 6.
Human connectivity, as opposed to approach and techniques, is the upcoming frontier for exponential growth and the only sustainable aggressive edge. Aggressive edges these kinds of as technological innovation, design, calme resources and products are speedily missing as opposition catches up.
May the competitiveness finally match your skill to hook up with people? Certainly, I suppose and hope so for the sake of us all, but the huge majority of companies and their leaders dont identify human connectivity as the pot of gold that it is. In reality, the words employing clever produce over 23,000 hits on Google. Enterprise leaders have failed to grasp the implications of Daniel Kahnemans Nobel Prize successful discovery that folks make choices initially for psychological motives, 2nd for rational, that the tie breaker, the put to boost revenue and earnings resides in the area of human connectivity.
The time is quickly approaching when the term will be out. Youve no time to waste. So here we go.
Worst Finest Follow 2 Choosing For Smarts
I am a admirer of Deadwood, HBOs Shakespeare-goes-to-South Dakota-during-the- Gold-Rush strike series. During Keith Carradines interview of David Milch, the creator of Deadwood, Milch claimed, Purpose is about seventeenth on the checklist of attributes that define us as a species and as far as Im involved, they can reduced it, no challenge.
Im with David and with Albert Einstein, who mentioned, We ought to consider treatment not to make the intellect our god it has, of study course, powerful muscles, but no character. It cannot lead it can only serve.
Dont get me wrong. We need smarts, but Descartes binary options assertion Cogito, ergo sum (I assume, thus I am) implies that considering is the be all, finish all. It isnt. We require smarts and a thing far more.
Maybe youve presently recognized that a target on selecting sensible individuals is a follow that is creating more issues in your business than its fixing. For example
Extreme certitude. In meetings, folks stubbornly cling to their tips (from time to time, at duration!), in an endeavor to impress other folks with the brilliance of their pondering. Their aim is to influence. It does not come about to them that an equally legitimate aim would be to be motivated, to have their possess learning provoked. Absolutely nothing new emerges since people are targeted on becoming appropriate, somewhat than on creating the best attainable conclusions for the organization.
Abnormal use of jargon. A few-letter acronyms (TLAs!) have their use, but when did we figure out that no endeavour is respectable these days devoid of a TLA? And look at words like componentize, nigh unpronounceable, which seemingly means to flip into a component. For what objective will remain a mystery. I digress. The point is that internally and with consumers, jargon lands like a stone.
The levels of competition is surpassing you. You pull a number of all-nighters, invest major bucks making ready your pitch to a future client. You have a amazing remedy or solution and know it will function. You go to the meeting greater than a kite, leave the meeting with a not-so-superior experiencing in your stomach, and learn that the purchaser went with the other men. You shed snooze for days wanting to know WHY? Hint they liked the other guys superior. Sure, liked them superior.
Loyal shoppers are leaving. Clients want more than a good solution or service they want to delight in the encounter of utilizing a item or service, which commences with their 1st interaction with your business. In spite of all your buyer-provider training and consumer-going through procedures, insurance policies and scripts, buyers arent feeling the adore. Your automated program doesnt contain the choice they want at the minute and makes it nigh impossible to converse to a human getting.
Your margins are shrinking. Your merchandise or services has turn into a trade binary options commodity and youve been competing primarily on price tag. Your consumers think they can come across what you provide elsewhere, for a much better value. And they can, so theyre leaving. Meanwhile, you retain lowering your price tag and customers keep on to depart. Most likely your prime line is nevertheless amazing. Your bottom line is troubling.
Implementation agony. There is a absence of alignment, cooperation and collaboration through the organization. A matrixed business filled with sensible people who fail to connect with each other, have no need to connect, and in truth, do not know how to connect with their friends in other parts of the business delivers a silo mentality. The pondering is This determination solves my dilemma, way too undesirable it brings about new troubles for other individuals. Initiatives stall and you incur fiscal and cultural penalties as a end result.
Competitors can poach your talent. A great number of surveys demonstrate that human beings desire on-heading, deep link to their co-employees and to the companies for which they get the job done. If an organizations relationship with associates is dependent principally on an exchange of time, talent and smarts for a paycheck, youre a source for head hunters who will have no difficulties luring your substantial potentials to organizations with one thing more interesting heading on, exactly where there is more to the human dynamic than Im smarter than you are.
Your most useful forex is now, usually has been, and always will be romance, emotional funds, which you might be dropping a single determination, one particular initiative, 1 failed conversation with your colleagues and shoppers at a time.
If you doubt that your organization is concerned in an psychological enterprise, just inquire that customer who is contemplating investing cash with you. Ask your workforce members, the individuals who come to a decision each and every day how considerably discretionary effort they will make offered to the jobs at hand.
Yet, even with all the evidence pointing to the reality that it is the deeply experiencing, emotionally intelligence people who are greatest equipped to provide revenue, we keep on to target on hiring and selling people today with pedigrees, graduates of the greatest enterprise schools, who talented although they are, do not see human connectivity as applicable to their accomplishment.
binary options system Meanwhile, the organization's strategy keeps stalling. Cross-boundary collaboration is just not taking place. Leaders perform whack-a-mole, micro-controlling versus main. Original pondering is taking place elsewhere. Staff have tiny or no psychological relationship to the business and its buyers. Faithful consumers are tough to arrive by. Relationships steadily disintegrate.
At these a crossroads, leaders are inclined to evaluation measurable aims, economic indicators, dollars circulation projections, procedure and methods. Staggering amounts of income are dedicated to reviewing essential organization processes though staff lengthy for a person galvanizing conversation.
Higher on the listing of priorities on the order of cant actually reside with out, are deeply fulfilling associations with the people who are central to our achievement and delight, at function and at home. Our failure to link with one another and with our buyers is practically costing organizations thousands and thousands in worker turnover.
Today I method to modify banks. The financial institution Ive been with for two many years one particular of the biggest in the region and through which my corporation has operate tens of millions of dollars - continues to just take steps that alienate their consumers. The most current transgression has been to enhance curiosity premiums on their credit score cards at a time when that is definitely the incorrect issue, the astoundingly insensitive and irresponsible issue, to do to their shoppers. They justify this by describing that they will need to make a gain so they can swiftly pay back the govt for the billions of bail out money they acquired. Of class they do. But their latest transfer, advised no doubt by exceptionally intelligent leaders, will lead to them to eliminate shoppers, which wont be very good for income. This bank, like a lot of businesses, is in a crisis that smarts cant remedy. The solution to their difficulty lies in connecting with their buyers, but their steps make it obvious that this notion is not on their radar.
If you are nonetheless resisting the strategy that human connectivity is important to your accomplishment and happiness, I came across your fortune cookie. The planet is your oyster, but you are allergic to shellfish.
The apply of choosing for smarts need to be amended to Hire for wise heart. Chapter 2 of Fierce Leadership outlines how to do this.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Meliá Bilbao is a soaring, rust-hued property designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta as a tribute to the Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida. The hotel sits on the banks of the Nervión River, with incredible views of the Guggenheim (request a riverside room on the seventh floor or higher). The 211 spacious rooms, built around a ten-story atrium, come in red, yellow, and orange and are bathed in light from large windows. The marble fitted bathrooms are also spacious, and those in the suites come with a hydromassage tub and separate shower. Other highlights include a heated outdoor pool on the sixth floor, and the award-winning Aizian restaurant. Snacks and light meals are also served in the Café Chillida, which has an outdoor terrace overlooking the Doña Casilda Park.—Guy Fiorita

The premier public radio showcase for contemporary music serving up an eclectic blend that includes blues, rock, world, folk, and alternative country.

A young darling of Nashville's music scene, Caitlin Rose just released her second album, The Stand-In. Rose moved to Nashville when she was 7, but resisted country music at first because her parents worked in the industry. Indie-rock was more her thing; she first discovered Merle Haggard via a Mountain Goats record.

A new rock band, Leagues was formed by an amazing singer, Thad Cockrell, who'd been so disenchanted with his alt-country career that he was ready to leave the music business altogether.

Soulful singer-songwriter Jessie Ware is far from the first vocalist to make the transition from backing vocals to center stage; Sheryl Crow once backed Michael Jackson, after all. But the Londoner has made the leap with tremendous success in her own right.

This installment of the Latin Roots series for World Cafe explores bossa nova music, guided by Latin-music expert Ernesto Lechner. Lechner grew up in Buenos Aires, where his parents' record collection consisted of classical records and a solitary bossa nova LP. He later moved to Los Angeles, where he was immersed in Latin music and subsequently became a music journalist, publishing several books on the subject. Lechner co-hosts the radio show Latin Alternative and works as a contributing writer for Rolling Stone, L.A.

I forgot his tail marking, but ezimba isn't working, so I can't fix it. (I used Ezimba to make the background transparent, but it's being a dickweed so ah well for now)
So cute!
I like how you added the plants for him to sit on!

Cannabis Oil TestimonialsCannabis Oil Testimonials
By: Lincoln Horsley 4/20/2012 Each day people all over the world are treating their cancer, diabetes and other illnesses with cannabis oil. Of the many many people who are using this medicine to treat themselves, only a few are brave enough to share their story with the world. On this page I am collecting written and video testimonials from people who have treated themselves of cancer, diabetes and any other sickness with cannabis oil. The more patient testimonials I can provide, the more proof we have that of the power of cannabis oil as a medicine. So if you or someone you know has used or is currently using cannabis oil please send me your story. You can send a written or video testimonial and I will post it here. The more documentation that can be provided about the condition, diagnosis and treatment the better. Just click the button below to send your story. We hope these testimonials can help someone. All the stories below are real people who have treated their illnesses with cannabis oil. Good luck and God bless. |
Dusty Frank's Story: Beating Prostate Cancer with Cannabis OilI was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October, 2013. I was advised by my urologist that my only options were to have a radical prostatectomy, go through weeks of external beam radiation sessions, or have brachytherapy (radioactive "seeds" implanted into prostate). The side effects from any of these treatments are incontinence and erectile dysfunction, to name a few.
I'm no stranger to physical trauma. I've had a total of 11 spine surgeries over the past 16 years resulting from injuries sustained in several accidents. Ultimately, I had cancer develop in my spine in 2007 and went through chemo, radiation, and surgery. I healed well and other than being left with chronic spine pain, I had no other lasting side effects. Quality of life is important to me. I've lived with intractable chronic pain for years and the thought of adding incontinence and erectile dysfunction to my list of physical discomforts just made me think that there had to be other options. But my doctors said there weren't. I scoured the Internet and discovered that there were other options. Some I read about offered success testimonials. The most profound testimonials came from those who claimed their cancer was cured by ingesting cannabis oil. Some of those testimonials I found right here at cureyourowncancer.org. One of the things that helped me while going through all this was reading the testimonials and the success stories of those who used the oil and were cured. The day after my diagnosis, my best friend sent me a video link to Christian Laurettes documentary "Run From The Cure- The Rick Simpson Story". From there I discovered PhoenixTears.ca as well as CureYourOwnCancer.org. According to the video testimonials I saw and the recommendations HERE on this site, the prescribed dosage for most cancer cures is 60 grams of cannabis oil over the course of 90 days. After all the reading I decided cannabis oil would be my treatment of choice. I told my doctor that I had made the decision to try an alternative cancer treatment and that it would last 3 months. He said I had made a very unwise decision and that I didn't have 3 months to spend on an alternative treatment. He told me that if the alternative treatment failed 3 months down the road, there may not be anything he or anyone could do for me as my cancer may then be too far progressed to treat. But I decided the risk was worth it for me so I moved ahead. Through one of my friends I was able to obtain some high quality medical cannabis. Then, following directions HERE on your site, I used it to make a batch of cannabis oil. I took my first "grain of rice" sized dose that day. I did this dose 3 times a day and I remember thinking "how can such a small amount of this "medicine" possibly cure something as vile as cancer?" Although highly hopeful, I couldn't help but reason with myself that if this stuff can really cure cancer, why aren't doctors prescribing it? Why haven't I heard about it before now? It all seemed too good to be true. But I kept telling myself to go with it. After four days of taking the oil, I began noticing unexpected improvements with other physical ailments I had (I've listed these below). In January, 2014 after the 3 month regimen ended, I went back to my doctor for a reassessment. He gave me a DRE (digital rectal examination) to physically feel my prostate. After what seemed to be a very long time of him feeling around, he finally told me that he thought that the cancer was still there. I asked if it seemed any smaller and he said he wasn't sure, but he said again that I needed to start the radiation or the surgery. So I asked him about an MRI scan. He told me that there is a brand new state of the art Tesla 3 MRI scanner designed expressly for high definition scanning of the prostate area. He told me that such a scan would definitely show the precise locations of my tumors and lesions. On January 23rd, I had the scan done at a nearby hospital and the results were clear. The MRI report stated clearly that there were no signs of cancer! Corrie Yelland's Story: Beating Anal and Skin Cancer with Cannabis Oil
Hi, My name's Corrie (Yelland). I'm 55 years old. In May of 2007, I had a heart attack and subsequently had a double bypass. As a result of the heart surgery, for 4 plus years, I have been plagued with chronic debilitating pain from a maligned sternum and post sternotomy neuralgia/syndrome. I was ingesting copious amounts of various pain killers 24/7. They barely touched the pain. I spent my days in agony, waiting for evening so I could try to sleep. I took sleeping pills nightly in a futile attempt to escape the hell I was going through and failed miserably. Within 2 hours of taking the pills, I would awake in agony.
Fast forward to July of 2011. Already coping with 2 spots of skin cancer on my collar bone, I was stunned when I was diagnosed with Anal Canal Cancer. (This is the same cancer that took Farrah Fawcett's life.) Following 2 surgeries, the doctor told me they did not get all the cancer and I would have to endure a regime of radiation treatments. I started researching what this would entail, and attended a intake meeting at the Cancer Clinic. I was informed that "this is the worst area of of the body to radiate", the radiation beam would hit both my coccyx and pubic bone potentially causing permanent damage." They would try not to hit my spine. CLICK TO READ THE FULL STORY -Corrie Yelland Dennis Hill's Story: A Biochemist Who Beat Prostate Cancer With Cannabis Oil"Three years ago, after a prostate biopsy, I was given the diagnosis of aggressive Stage III adenocarcinoma. I didn't know what to do. The urologist made appointments for me to start radiation, and maybe chemo. Then a friend told me cannabis cures cancer. It just so happened that the first human trials of cannabis treatment of astrocytomas (inoperable brain cancer), were published with encouraging results. So I decided; rather than die from the medical treatment, I would do the cannabis cure. Now… where to get some. There was no dispensary in the area, but a friend made me cannabis butter, so I took that, up to tolerance. In three months the primary cancer was gone, only minor metastatic lesions were left. At that point I found a supplier for Rick Simpson oil and killed off the metastases in the next three months. Now I just take a maintenance dose of locally produced hash oil that is 1:1 THC:CBD with about a 30% potency. This will certainly keep me clear of cancer, anywhere, for ever.
My point in telling this story is the fact that in the face of advanced aggressive cancer, all I had was very weak cannabutter, but it was enough to eliminate the primary tumor. Now there are strains of 95% THC. But is this necessary? If you have cancer and want to pursue the cannabis treatment, any at all will be good. More important than extreme potency, is balance between THC and CBD. If you can get high potency, great. If not, common potencies will work perfectly. Finally, if you choose cannabinoid treatment, start small, then increase dosage as rapidly as tolerable. To kill cancer you have to hit it hard, be conscientious about your treatment. Cannabis does no harm to the body, it is a metabolic support for the immune system." CLICK TO READ THE FULL STORY -Dennis Hill
Joanne Crowther's Story: Beating Large B-cell lymphoma with Cannabis OilThis is Joanne Crowther's Story on how she beat Large B-cell lymphoma with Cannabis Oil. In the summer of 2009 Joanne was diagnosed with large B-cell lymphoma. The lymphoma was eliminated with chemotherapy in February 2010. The treatment caused significant nausea, vomiting, febrile neutropenia (fever resulting from abnormally low white blood cell count), and pneumonia requiring hospitalization....
....More scans in February 2012 revealed new adrenal cancerous nodules. Joanne began taking the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and cytabarine to combat the cancers. She was then hospitalized between April 23rd, 2012 and May 3rd, 2012 due to acute renal failure and hepatitis, which had been induced by cisplatin and cytabarine respectively. The complications permanently ended Joanne's chemotherapy regiment, with chemotherapy stopping in late April. Joanne was then diagnosed with relapsed intravascular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and leptomeningeal disease.Without the strength to endure more chemotherapy or radiation, doctors could do nothing more, and Joanne was forced to try an alternative treatment.... ...In early May, she began taking cannabis oil. She started off with small rice-grain sized doses, but after a week felt no effects. She then uppedher dosage to a gram of oil a day, and within two weeks noticed beneficial effects – in general, feeling better and having more appetite. On July 30th, 2012, Joanne had a follow-up examination. The documentation resulting from the examination is below. It describes how Joanne is doing much better since being off chemotherapy, and that the left thigh mass "actually regressed spontaneously." Two months later in Another exam from September 24th, 2012 it states Joanne is now in remission. The report also notes that she had been taking regular hemp oil supplements (referring to cannabis oil, not hemp seed oil) CLICK TO SEE JOANNE'S MEDICAL DOCUMENTS -Joanne Crowther
Charlotte Figi and Zaki Jackson's Journey: Treating Dravet & Doose Syndrome With Cannabis OilThis is the story of 5 year old Charlotte Figi. Charlotte suffered from Dravet Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy found in children. From the time she was 2 she was having over 300 seizures a week which drastically affected her ability to learn, speak or even walk. She was unable to keep up with her twin sister. She was catatonic and nothing the doctors could do for her helped. All of their "medicines" had no effect on her condition and if anything they made her worse. Some of them almost killing her.
After exhausting all other treatments, her parents turned to the internet to see what alternative treatments may be available. To their surprise they found that a certain strain of cannabis (the strain was later named Charlottes Web in her honor) was specifically helping children with Dravet Syndrome. So they made the decision to give cannabis oil to their daughter and from the first dose the noticed results. The 300+ seizures she was experiencing each week was reduced to only 1. Her parents have been amazed with the results and are so happy to get their daughter back. Michael McShane's Story: Beating Squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer with Cannabis oilMike McShane has endured five bouts of Squamous cell carcinoma cancer. He's spent a million dollars and has been treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery by this team of doctors at the Detroit Medical Center. Today, he believes the invasive treatments were unnecessary. He says he's cured his latest bout with the disease using a highly concentrated form of cannabis oil.
"I got Simpson oil and started putting it on and after ten days, ten days I saw it. The cancer started to break up before my eyes. It looked like a big white callous, and it started to fragment and break up.I was crying. It was unbelievable." He called his Dermatologist, told him the cancer was back and that he was treating it with marijuana. McShane leaps from his chair in my office and starts dancing around, laughing. "Here I am, in my basement, with a 9th grade education and I'm healing my cancer, and I'm saying, 'I'm not going to spend 40 grand with you!'" He went to his doctors office. "You've got cancer on your face," he told McShane. "I know," he responded. "That's the reason I'm here. I want you to put it in my chart and note it because when I come back I don't think it'll be here. It's going to be gone because I'm using this marijuana oil." His doctor told him, "well ok, but get to Dermatology immediately. That's cancer." McShane didn't go to Dermatology. He continued using the oil and the cancer started to lose the battle very quickly. It took about three months to reach the underneath layer of live skin. During that time he went to see his doctor about four times who said he could see things were getting better.After three months of Simpson oil treatment, the cancer had broken down and exposed a layer of live skin. During that time McShane saw his doctor about four times, who confirmed his condition was improving. READ THE FULL STORY HERE Rick Simpson Rediscovered the Cure for Cancer: Cannabis OilSomeday the name "Rick Simpson" with be a household name. He will be known as the man who rediscovered the cure for cancer by everyone. Rick's journey to finding the cure for cancer starts back in 2003. In 2003 Rick was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma skin cancer. He had 3 spots of cancer on his body. 2 on his face and 1 on his neck. Rick's decision on how to handle this diagnosis would be world changing.
After not having much luck with surgery Rick decided to try something different. For almost a year Rick had been extracting the oil from the cannbais plant and ingesting it orally. He had been taking the oil for other health reasons but the cancer diagnosis reminded him of something and gave him an idea. He remembered a radio headline he heard almost 30 years earlier. The radio headline had stated that the University of Virginia had found the cannabinoid in cannabis THC could kill cancer in mice. He figured that if it kills cancer in mice it would kill his cancer too. Rick's decision was to apply cannabis oil to his skin cancer. He applied his cannabis oil to some bandages and put them on the skin cancer. After 4 days of waiting he decided it was time to see if anything had happened under the bandages. To Ricks surprise the cancer was gone. His cannabis oil had cured his cancer. Rick tried to tell his doctor but they wouldn't listen. He even went to the cancer organizations and tried to get their help but nobody wanted anything to do with his discovery. At that point Rick took matters into his own hands. He started growing cannabis on his own land and producing his own cannabis oil. He gave the oil away for free to anyone who needed it. Even after having his home raided multiple times and having over 2600 cannabis plants cut down and taken by the RCMP he still continued to produce the oil and help others. In 2008 Rick put out a free documentary on YouTube called "Run From the Cure". If you haven't watched it you should (shown below). This documentary has been viewed millions of times worldwide and has helped millions of people. If not for Rick and "Run From the Cure" who knows where cannbais medicine would be today. Its now been over 10 years since Rick began his journey to tell others that cannbais oil can cure cancer. Rick has healed over 5000 people personally with this amazing oil not to mention the countless others all over the world who have heard his story and have been healed. Rick was the inspiration for me to start CureYourOwnCancer and start helping others. The world owes this great man a thank you for his bravery and persistence in making sure that everyone everywhere knows about cannabis oil and what it can do. Dr. William Courtney: 8 months old patient cured of inoperable brain tumor with Cannabis OilDr. William Courtney told HuffPost Live host Alyona Minkovski about his youngest patient cured 0f cancer with cannabis oil. Saying he was "quite a skeptic 5 or 6 years ago", Dr. Courtney continued that "my youngest patient is 8 months old, and had a very massive centrally located inoperable brain tumor." The child's father pushed for non-traditional treatment utilizing cannabis. "They were putting cannabinoid oil on the baby's pacifier twice a day, increasing the dose... And within two months there was a dramatic reduction, enough that the pediatric oncologist allowed them to go ahead with not pursuing traditional therapy."The tumor was remarkably reduced after eight months of treatment. Dr. Courtney pointed out that the success of the cannabis approach means that "this child, because of that, is not going to have the long-term side effects that would come from a very high dose of chemotherapy or radiation... currently the child's being called a miracle baby, and I would have to agree that this is the perfect response that we should be insisting is front line therapy for all children before they launch off on all medications that have horrific long term side effects."

Peter Germain's Story: Treating Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity with Cannabis OilCureYourOwnCancer,
This is a before and after picture of me. The left was in august 2011 and the right is August 2012. Last year my blood sugar was 12% at 8 pills a day after a fast tests. I weighed 215lbs. After 7 weeks of digesting the hemp/cannabis oil my blood sugar was 4.5% with no pills. That was last November and it is still the same today. My diabetes is gone! I continue to keep doing a small dose of the oil and today the scale said 162.5lbs. I did not change my diet, but the oil did for me. I think it's VERY important to so many people with just obesity and diabetes, yet alone cancer that could benefit from this. I don't know if you've tried the oi , but wow! I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid. i could never spell, but for some reason I can spell 10 times better now!! Everything has been a "WTF" kind of an experience in a very positive way. ;p -Peter Germain Lincoln Horsley's Story: Helping Cure Stage 4 Stomach, Throat and Pancreatic cancer with cannbais oil"In 2010 I accidentally stumbled upon the movie "Run from the Cure" on YouTube. I was very skeptical when I initially heard that cannabis could cure cancer. Like everyone, I assumed that if there was a cure for cancer it wouldn't be kept quiet. After countless hours of watching videos and reading through articles and studies I began to change my opinion. There was so much science behind cannabis and its effects on cancer I couldn't believe it.....
I was contacted by a man in 2011 who had stage 4 throat, stomach and pancreatic cancer. He asked if i would help him so I helped get him some cannbais oil and he began taking it. After being on the oil about 30 days he had a checkup and he had a 20% reduction in his cancer. On his 60 checkup they considered him remission. So after I was personally able to help someone cure themselves of stage 4 cancer I started to think of other ways I could spread this message and help more people, more than just the people I come in contact with every day. I wanted to be able help other people all over the world. I also wanted to save people all those hours of researching information on cannabis and cancer by providing it all in one place. So I created CYOC to be able to do those things." CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL STORY -Lincoln Horsley Creator of cureyourowncancer.org Basal Cell Carcinoma Cured with cannabis oil over 35 days
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cured With Cannabis Oil
Dear CureYourOwnCancer, A while back, I read about Rick Simpson and cannabis oil and decided to try making some. I have been growing marijuana for a very long time. I used some of my best buds, and made up some premium cannabis oil. I tried it and could not believe it. It was so potent it was like nothing I have ever had. After trying it, I knew of a patient that had been battling cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma) for about 11 years at that point. I offered to be his medical marijuana caregiver, and supply him with the oil at no cost to him so long as he would take the oil as recommended. At that time, he was a stranger to me more than less. I had met him about a year prior at a compassion club meeting and learned then that he had the cancer. I really wanted to see if the oil could cure cancer, as mentioned in Rick Simpson's "Run From the Cure". So, after getting in contact with this patient and presenting the offer to him, we filed the proper paperwork with our state and began treatment. We set it up to where he would be in possession of the plants, so eventually, he would be able to provide the oil to himself. That was also part of the agreement, that he learn how to help himself. We began treatment. At first it was difficult for him because the oil was so potent, and taking it three times per day can be quite difficult. After three months, a very tumor on his upper chest started to shrink. After five months, the tumor was completely gone. He then went in for a CAT scan. The results came back that he is cancer free! The doctors have been trying to cure his cancer for at least 11 years. Chemo, bone marrow transplants, and so on. All it took was about a pound of premium bud converted into cannabis oil. He has his before and after CAT scan results on disk (will be provided to us soon). He has come forward and spoken publicly to people. In fact, he is now a caregiver helping other patients with the healing cannabis oil! This story is the real deal, no B.S. I have two videos (both to the right) that were taken at a local cannabis camp. One video is just my patient. The other video is my patient and other patient's testimonies. My patient and I give the glory to God for this miracle. Sincerely, GrowGoddess |

One of the UCI's sponsors ahs claimed the organisation was "complicit" in sweeping the Lance Armstrong doping scandal under the carpet.
Jaimie Fuller, chairman of the Australian sportswear firm Skins that has ploughed around 10million US dollars into the UCI over the last five years, says the scandal has caused reputational damage to the sponsors.
The firm has served a legal notice on the UCI claiming 2million dollars (£1.25m) in compensation.
Fuller said: "This is a ground-breaking move and it's one of those situations that could become case law for the future.
"When a sport is in trouble you look to the international federation to help it through. It's a pretty rare situation where the international federation is actually complicit in what was going on."
Fuller also claimed that UCI president Pat McQuaid and his predecessor and honorary president Hein Verbruggen needed to accept responsibility for the failure to deal with Armstrong, who was last month stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.
"These two gentleman have sat at the top of world cycling for 22 years and they need to be accountable for what they did and did not do," said Fuller.
Meanwhile, British cyclist David Millar says the UCI need to make a full apology.
Millar told the Guardian: "The UCI need to be very careful, because the momentum is rolling too fast for them to control it. Just as with Lance Armstrong, we'll reach another tipping point soon. I sense the same looming crash with the UCI - unless they act decisively.
"I don't think they realise what everyone needs is immediate action. They're trying to go through the usual sports politics way of trying to ride this out until people forget about it. These are career sports politicians. But they cannot evade this any longer. They have to act quickly or they're going to face a total revolt and they'll be out anyway.
"Now there is a public awakening and the UCI will be in real trouble unless they make a full apology. There seems to be some unbreakable alliance between McQuaid and Verbruggen. Pat needs to cut that cord and move forward. He needs to wake up to the fact that some revolutions become unstoppable."
McQuaid and Verbruggen did not respond to requests to comment on Fuller's claims.

In 2001 Justin Wilson won the International Formula 3000 championship, beating future team mate Mark Webber in the process. But while Webber progressed to Formula One the following season, Wilson had to wait another year before breaking into the Grand Prix 'big time'.
Like Webber, Wilson's move into Formula One came courtesy of Minardi boss Paul Stoddart. Wilson's demon starts (he sometimes picked up half a dozen places in the first few laps of a race) soon got him noticed and when Jaguar lost patience with Antonio Pizzonia in July, they offered Wilson the chance to do the last five races of the season.
That's when he came up against Webber. The Australian had done a whole winter of testing in the Jaguar and three quarters of a season of racing it. Wilson would be coming in at an odd time, with five races to go and only one test session planned. He would be pitting himself against one of the rising stars of the sport and he would have to start cold.
He began brilliantly with seventh place in his first qualifying session at Hockenheim, but then reality set in. The Jaguar proved to be a very different car to the Minardi and Wilson hadn't anticipated the change in driving style that would be required. He initially struggled to match Webber's pace and a string of reliablilty problems didn't help. But he plugged away and by the end of the season was consistently within three or four tenths of a second per lap of Webber.
But with so many factors contributing to his performances (parity of equipment, reliability, team procedures etc), it is very hard for people outside the team, and especially the public, to form an accurate judgement of how well Wilson is doing. Inevitably though, with so much common ground between team mates, comparisons with Webber will be drawn. How does Wilson himself feel he stacked up against his long-time rival?
"At some point in every driver's career you say, 'Well I beat so and so in this car or in that series,' but the truth is that you are only as good as your last season. Mark did a fantastic job last season, he really got the most out of the car. But I believe that I can do that too, it's simply just a question of adjusting my driving style to this car. The thing is, it's easier said than done."
Minardi sporting director John Walton thinks his team's two former drivers have similar abilities: "Mark and Justin are very evenly matched. Mark may perhaps be a little stronger mentally. But given the opportunity, Justin could be as good as Webber - maybe even better." And it seems Jaguar also have faith in the Englishman. "He's personable and has done a similar job to Mark Webber, really, and I'm really pleased with the way the team has gelled around him," said Jaguar Racing's managing director David Pitchforth.
Indeed, you get the sense that everyone at Jaguar genuinely wants Wilson to do well. Clearly they feel that with the awkward timing, the lack of testing and reliability issues, they didn't give him a fair chance to prove himself during their five races together. Winter testing begins in late November. That's when Justin Wilson will get his third chance - and possibly his last - to show he's got what it takes to live with Webber, and to be a Formula One star.
(The above is an edited extract from a much longer feature on Justin Wilson, available exclusively in the December issue of Formula 1 Magazine.)
