I'm concerned that 7% of the people around me admitted to committing a federal and state crime in the last month.
When 7%, or more, of the population has no problem with doing something illegal, because they happen to disagree with the law, that is a clear sign society is going downhill.
Whether marijuana should be illegal or legal is not the point, it's the complete lack of guilt for breaking the law that disturbs me so much.
Several posters seem to think that the Constitution gives the Fed the power to regulate or prohibit marijuana, or that federal law always trumps state law. Neither is correct.
Federal controls are via an INTERPRETATION of the interstate commerce clause. The Constitution is silent on drug control. If states legalize ONLY locally raised, sold and consumed [and taxed] marijuana, a very good case could be made that the feds would be restricted to illegal INTERSTATE trafficing.
The 10th amendment reserves to the states respectively, or to the people, any powers the Constitution did not delegate to the United States, nor prohibit the states from exercising. Although this has seldom been successfully used, this is the law of the land and is superior to any other [statutory law, or administrative regulation].
gcadams wrote: "From a legal standpoint, I don't see how a state can legalize anything that is against federal law. Medical use of marijuana is a narrow exception, which can hardly be expanded for recreational use."
The Federal government is not all powerful. It's position on Marijuana control rests on a less than sound INTERPRETATION of the interstate commerce clause, because the Constitution does not specifically give the government the authority.
SO if a state chooses to make only local growing, sale and use of Marijuana legal, the Feds will have to restrict themselves to stopping illegal interstate transport.
Aside from their benefit to a few – reduced blood pressure from consuming minor amounts of alcohol per day, or the palliative effects of marijuana use for those with painful diseases – I don't think anyone could argue that society is better off with either of these drugs.
As one who has seen a dramatic recession in symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia and an end to the therapy and hospitalisation they required for one casual user of cannabis when she kicked the habit, I am not unbiased.
Nevertheless, it is clear that social diseases caused by popular poisons are better and more cheaply treated by education than criminalisation
I don't think weed should be legalized, although I believe it's time to decriminalize recreational use of marijuana. Now, I will not pretend that I am a weed expert, but I have failed to understand what harm to society it has inflicted. Sure, it's a gate way drug and promotes the use of hard drugs, but I what about tobacco and alcohol - especially alcohol. Of course, there are cultures where consumption of alcohol at the dinner table is the norm, but when abused, it's just as dangerous as marijuana if not more. Alcohol poisoning is quite dangerous, as over dosing on weed to a lethal amount, as I have come to understand it, is close to physically impossible. (I vaguely remember being told that you would have to smoke your body weight of weed to put your life on the line, of course depending on the potency of the weed.)
I don't think it has anything to do with health issues but politics. That, I dare not delve into.
With so many illicit users, it would be easier for the US authority to control the usage by legalising and take a cut of the revenue of the trade. Maybe it can be a catalyst to for a lucrative export to force open foreign markets for new users overseas.
Dutch people generally believe that the abcense of a large drug problem in their country supports the theory that permissive drug laws do not lead to increased drug abuse. They forget that drug use is generally frowned upon in large parts of dutch society, it is simply not very socially acceptable in large parts of society to smoke dope. Therefore the abcense of large drug problems in the netherlands can be atrributed as much (or more) to cultural attitudes than to liberal drug laws.
You ridicule attempts to protect children from drug abuse, why? Substance abuse (including alcohol) is medically proven to be extremely bad for developing brains. Dutch friends of mine that work as teachers in dutch high schools often tell me that they suspect a lot of pupils to be high on drugs while in the class room, during the few years I spent in the netherlands as a child this certainly did not occur (as much?), so how does that support that liberal drug laws do not harm society?
Being Dutch I have come to find that we as a country have defiantly forged ahead in all matters cannabis.
At the time cannabis was considersd a soft drug with a minimal effect on one's health.
Legalizing the use of cannabis has als had a maturing effect on the whole market and providers of the substance have made excellent use of our agriculture know how to grow ever more potent produce.
This has in turn led to the fact that the THC content,the mind altering substance in cannabis, has reached such high levels that many (such as some police chiefs and politicians) now consider it a "hard drug"
My point is:
When you want to legalize drugs (which seems stil to be the only way to really exercise any control) then be preparded to go all the way and regulate the whole supply chain and control the levels of THC and quality of the product.
Much in the same way as is the case with alcolhol, that other drug.
It's an ugly beast but it will never go away.
"It will be a state to avoid unless you have a death wish on the road."
Oh sure, all of those fender benders from the Mexican low riders cruising in 5 mph traffic have caused chaos already. Give me a break, there's no way you live or have ever lived in CA.
I'm only OK with legalizing it if they also start doing public information campaigns against it. Similar to DARE and the other things used to prevent people from smoking (cigarettes), they should continue the policy and simply target weed too.
The ultimate goal should be to reduce the consumption of weed, and that legalizing and taxing + regulating it is simply a better method of achieving this goal than to throw people in jail.
@ people who think doing drugs (or alcohol) only affects you (and does not directly harm others)
Society is far far more interconnected than you think. If you drink, then people around you will feel more ok with drinking too. If you do drugs, people around you feel more ok with drug doing. There is a lot of pressure to fit in, and it is to fit in with whatever people around you are doing (or you think they are doing). A lot of this is not on a conscious level, though any simple psychology study reveals it plain and obvious.

1) Let's legalize anything that most kids do(and probably your kid does)
2) Let's legalize anything that was made illegal based on FALSE information by our 'honest' Federal Government (remember the 'devil drug' that will drive you insane... a.k.a. Marijuana?)
If marijuana is legal in California, would the continued seizure of Mexican marijuana at the border of California be considered an unfair practice under NAFTA? Would the Economist stick up for Mexican drug cartels, as they did Chinese tire manufacturers?
I'm a 28 year old white male who has never smoked marijuana. This has been simply by choice and not because a of lack of access or religious or moral purpose. Having said that, I'm a huge advocate for the legalization/decriminalization/depenalization and regulation of marijuana. Any opposing argument can easily be countered with a legitimate rebuttal. The gateway theory, the argument that it will become easily accessible for children, God condemns it....all nonsense. Oh wait, if weed is legalized, then black men will smoke it, go crazy and rape our white women! We can't have Reefer Madness now, can we? My fellow Californians should do the right thing and take a step forward by voting for Prop 19.
GOD gave us grapes to eat but never showed us the way to make it something to get high but for GANJA it is a gift of GOD and HE only showed us how to enjoy it....

Marijuana should be legalised, as should cocaine, heroine, etc. If people want to fry up their brains, it is their choice. However, it must be regulated in a way which doesn't affect the general public (i.e. can't consume it in public places). A couple of reasons for supporting this:
- Not fighting demand. The U.S. fights wars to prevent drugs entering its territory. But why doesn't if fight wars inside its own territory. Because it would probably get ugly. If dealing drugs gives higher penalties than using it, then it is an asymmetrical problem.
- War on drugs budget. The U.S. will probably spend somewhere around $56Bn in the war on drugs, yet the value of the market, depending on who makes the estimate is not very precise. However, if you legalize consumption and dealing, then the U.S. can save a lot of resources.
- Bring in revenues. If the market is legalized, then you can have incremental revenues from taxing.
Bottom line, if you legalize the stuff, you will have one less problem to deal with (i.e. violence), but you still have to deal with the public health issue. Sounds better.
"Perhaps more surprisingly, most blacks and Latinos are also against it."
Perhaps these are the same people that are profiting greatly from the underground marijuana industry, and perhaps they fear that if it's legalized then they'll have to find a different source of income.
A good point (and the federal government can also condition funding for things like highways on the issue).
That said, the lefties are cleary for legailization (for personal reasons), as are libertarians (for ideological reasons).
That leaves the other conservatives who have supported the war on drugs, but I'm sure they will support some accomodation as well since they're such staunch advocates of state's rights (or is that just with respect to states' rights to do things they agree with...).
Fair enough, but two thoughts:
1. I'm not concerned at all about the price staying flat or going up. If it's taxed based on purchase price, then that's a good thing for the government. A higher price should also discourage overuse to some extent, which is probably also a good thing for the health care system.
2. I don't think I agree the effect on worker productivity would really be affected. Alcohol is already legal and more addictive. It's also easier to take a few swigs from a bottle in your office without getting caught than to smoke a joint. Despite this, most people seem to be capable of not working drunk. If worker productivity is the main concern, then that would suggest to me that alcohol should be made illegal.
The interesting point is that about the beer companies. If this actually gains some steam, I wonder how much money the alcohol industry will pay its lobbyists to oppose it?
Sayslaw is correct about federal law but there is still the juries to consider. In Alaska there are businesses that openly sell small amounts of pot (legal under state law) but the Feds leave them alone as they know that Alaskan juries in federal courts would not convict. An exception is the members of the military for whom these places are off-limits areas and who would face UCMJ and a military jury instead of an Alaskan jury.

* Shilling firms on offshore dollar inflows after bond sale * Importers' dollar demand could weigh shilling down * EABL shares gain ahead of dividend book closure (Adds markets close, stocks) By Kevin Mwanza NAIROBI, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The lingering impact of last week's infrastructure bond sale kept the Kenyan shilling in positive territory on Monday, while shares gained for the third straight session. By the 1300 GMT close, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 86.00/20 per dollar, 0.46 percent stronger than Friday's close of 86.40/60. Duncan Kinuthia, head of trading at Commercial Bank of Africa, said foreign investors were still selling dollars to pay for the 12-year infrastructure bond worth 20 billion shillings auctioned in the middle of last week. The shilling has been buoyed by dollar inflows for the bond amid tight liquidity in the market, shrugging off an attack by Islamist militants at a Nairobi mall that killed dozens of people. Traders said the shilling could come under pressure if importers take advantage of these gains to buy dollars. However, a jump in inflation in September was likely to cushion it if interest rates rise, making it attractive to hold the local currency. Year-on-year inflation spiked to 8.29 percent in September, from 6.67 percent in the previously month, mainly due to lawmakers widening the bracket of goods subject to value-added tax. On money markets, the weighted average interbank lending rate rose for the 14th straight session on Friday, to 9.3857 percent, from 9.1203 percent on Thursday. "Importers are waiting on the sidelines to see how far the shilling can gain before they come in to buy dollars," Kinuthia said. In stocks, the benchmark NSE-20 share index rose 0.5 percent to 4,793.20. Shares in East African Breweries, one of the most heavily-traded firms, rose 3.5 percent to 329 shillings as investors rushed to lock in its dividend before books closed on Monday. "EABL closes its books today ahead of a 4 shilling a share dividend payment. That might have sparked the participation today," said Sila Rasugu, an analyst at Genghis Capital. East Africa's biggest telecoms firm Safaricom climbed 1.8 percent to 8.50 shillings. In the secondary bond market, debt worth 808 million shillings ($9.3 million) was traded, up from 571 million on Friday. ...........................Shilling spot rates .....................Shilling forward rates .......................Cross rates ..................................Local contributors .......................Central Bank of Kenya Index .....................Kenyan Bonds contributor pages ...............Treasury bill yields ..................Central bank open market operations .........................Horizontal repo transactions , ................Daily interbank lending rate .............................Kenya Bond pricing ..................Real time Africa economic data <ECI & AFR> ...........................African economic news .................................NSE-20 Share Index .................................NSE All Share Index ...........................FT NSE Kenya 15 Index ..........................

A meeting of speakers and chairpersons of Legislative Assemblies and Councils of various states will be held in Indore on Monday.
State Bank of India may not immediately merge one of its associate banks into it, its Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya said today.
Arun Jaitley had yesterday rejected the charge by the members and said the government maintains an "arm's length distance" in film certification matters.
According to Sebi, the current designation does not correctly convey the position held by the persons concerned and their responsibilities.
Ministry has always "kept a hands away distance" from the Censor Board decisions- Rajyavardhan Rathore
Jaitley said, "It is regrettable that UPA appointees have decided to politicise routine issues" while reacting to the resignations of some of members.
Congress asked what stopped it from sacking the Board members over the last eight months if it felt that the appointments were politicised.

A library to load all files as modules based on glob syntax.
glob-module-loader for node.js
A node.js library to find and load files as modules based on glob file syntax (i.e. 'plugins/*/.js').
Quick Example
var loader = require'glob-module-loader'; // a single path with a single callback once all modules are loaded loaderload'plugins/**/*.js' console.log'Loaded %s' moduleslength;; // multiple paths and a callback that should be called for each module loaded loaderload 'plugins/**/*.js' 'vendor/**/*.js' console.log'Loaded a module'; console.log'Loading complete'; ;
glob-module-loader can be easily installed using npm.
npm install glob-module-loader
Then simply require glob-module-loader in your application
glob-module-loader is intended to find all files matching a glob syntax (i.e. "plugins/*/.js") and load each file as an individual module. It can load all modules synchronously and hand back an array, or it can load them asynchronously calling a callback method for each module loaded.
var loader = require'glob-module-loader'; // load synchronously loaderload'plugins/**/*.js' console.log'Loaded %s' modules moduleslength;; // load asynchronously loaderload'plugins/**/*.js' console.log'Called for each module loaded'; console.log'Loaded %s' modules moduleslength; ;
glob-module-loader depends on the following packages:
load(patterns, module_callback, callback)
Searches the file system for modules to load based on the glob patterns provided. Once all modules have been loaded the callback function is called passing the loaded modules as an array.
- patterns - A string or array of strings containing glob patterns to search.
- module_callback(module) - An optional callback function which is called for each module immediately after it is loaded.
- callback(err, modules) - A callback which is called after all modules have been loaded, or until an error is encountered. If an error is encountered the callback will be called immediately and no modules will be returned.
loaderload'*.js' 'dir/*.js' // all modules loaded are now in the modules array ; loaderload '*.js' 'dir/*.js' // called for each module // all modules loaded are now in the modules array ;

After a month of persistent and crippling snowstorms, I do look forward to spring weather, green grass and flowers in bloom.
The advent of spring is also a great opportunity to turn over a new leaf on our dietary habits. In fact, hundreds of communities welcome spring on March 20 with an observance of the Great American Meatout.
Participants are asked to go vegan, at least for the day, and to explore a healthy diet of vegetables, fresh fruits, legumes and grains.
Well, they did it again! The Always Ready Emergency Troupe's Variety and Comedy Show "Remember When" was a huge success!
Every day, in every area of our state, hard-working South Carolina taxpayers are being robbed. They are not held up at gunpoint, and their homes are not burglarized. But they are the victims of theft just the same.
Criminals are stealing federal funds and using that money for their personal benefit. They are committing fraud against the food stamp program. In fact, they pocket more than $2 million of your tax dollars every year in South Carolina alone.
Most people like having new vehicles. A new convertible would be especially nice for the springtime. Unfortunately, with new vehicles come taxes, and it's important for you to understand what taxes are due and how to pay them to avoid problems later on.
When purchasing a vehicle, you must pay local property taxes to the Lancaster County Treasurer's Office and you must also pay a sales tax for the vehicle to the S.C Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Looking for a sunflower or maybe a four-leaf clover in Sun City Carolina Lakes? These are rare finds indeed.
As a longtime opinion reader and sometime contributor, I am somewhat flabbergasted by the negative comments coming from many residents of our neighborhood to the north.
I just can't believe all the trash along the roads in Indian Land I saw this morning.
I've only seen one sign by Aldi about adopting a highway and stopping littering. What good is that?
The area along U.S. 521 has beautiful trees and shrubs and flowers and then you have tons of trash. This is not just along U.S. 521 either.
Lancaster County should place signs with $500 penalties for littering and strictly enforce it.
I am writing to express my sincerest appreciation of your staff and fans at Buford High School.
On March 12, during the North Central and Buford JV baseball game, we had a player break his leg. While this was occurring, one of our fans had a stroke in the stands.

1 Fenland Archery Club Newsletter March 2009 It has been a while since the last news letter, so therefore I have volunteered to carry this on, as well as dealing with the press from time to time as the clubs success goes from strength to strength. The above picture is of last year's Archery competition in the Beijing Olympics 2008. So why a picture of the Olympics? Because we all have the right to be there to represent our sport and country! But this is not possible without lots of dedication, practice, some luck and belief in ourselves. 2012 is getting ever closer, and you may be smiling at the thought of a small club like Fenland producing an Olympian, but where do these highly motivated, skilled and dedicated individuals come from. They all started at the bottom and within Archery Clubs not too dissimilar to our own. So keep practising! Fenland Archery Clubs News Letter March 2009 2 Recurved- Getting It Right Take a look at the photos of the Olympians. Could this make all the difference to your own improvement? How does the grip differ on the riser from each Archer, and what about the string position on the face? Could we all learn a tip from the pro's just by the pictures. Fenland Archery Clubs News Letter March 2009 3 Results of the Indoor Portsmouth Fenland Archery Club 2nd Portsmouth Competition 14 February 2009 Sir Harry Smith Community College Eastrea Rd, Whittlesey Peterborough PE7 1XB The club attracted the following results: Gents Longbow: Paul Attwood gained Silver in the single round, and Gold in the double round scoring his personal best. Ladies Recurve: Roz Payne, Silver Ladies Longbow: Pauline Slack, Gold Junior Gents Recurve: Joseph Pasqualone, Silver Junior Ladies Recurve: Lauren Mountfield, Gold Married Couples event combined score: Roz & John Payne Bronze The Combined Team event was won by the host club, Fenland Archery Club the team comprised of: Roz Payne, Ladies Recurve, John Payne, men's Compound, David Pearce, men's Recurve, Paul Attwood Longbow. Fenland Archery Clubs News Letter March 2009 4 The whole event was run by Fenland Archery Club tournament officer Jill Anthony, with assistance from husband Paul & other members of the club. The whole day was run in a relaxed and professional manner, with all 92 entries being in the right place at the right time. Club chairman Dave Slack said" It was an excellent day, well attended by competitors from in and around the neighbouring counties. The spirit of the sport unfolded out to be an exciting and enjoyable day by all who entered. Tournaments such as ours give an opportunity for everyone from novice to the more experienced archer to gain experience in the sport, and with the experiences gained enhances the development of individuals within the sport". Dave Slack Pauline Slack Paul Attwood To add to the clubs recent success Pauline Slack also took the Gold in the longbow category at the county indoor championship held at the St Ivo Centre, St Ives, in Cambridgeshire. Dave Slack and Paul Attwood along with Pauline Slack also won the indoor county team longbow event to add to the list of medals. Chairman Dave Slack wishes to thank those of you who helped set out the hall on the night before the recent Portsmouth competition. Congratulations also to Tournament Officer Jill Anthony on organising a very well run competition. Well done to everyone who took part in this highly successful event. The clubs committee would also like to thank everyone who supported the event, including Fenland Archery Clubs News Letter March 2009 5 those who took part, the people who made the tea / coffee & cakes - especially the cakes, and the setting up of the event and organising everything that went on throughout the day. Fenland Archery Club would also like to thank their sponsors for the event who include; Whittlesey Conservative Club, Whittlesey Gun Shop, and Kellyvision Electrical, with a special thanks to Mark Dando, Managing Director for Fenland Timber who was Lord Paramount for the event and also presented the trophies on the day. Shooting Injuries How could it effect you? Will you know you have sports related injury? Can you improve your performance by recognising the injury and getting it mended? Not all of us are as athletic as the nicely balanced lady in the picture. So to keep you free from injury, have a read of some of the ones to keep away from. Archery, due to its reliance on upper extremity muscle control, can plague its participants with injuries that few outside of the sport appreciate. As a result, archers must be in top condition to counteract the extreme forces involved in the sport. The most common acute injuries in the sport of archery include arrow laceration of digital nerves and arteries, contusions of forearm skin and subcutaneous tissue, and compression neuropathy of digital nerves from the bowstring. Chronic injuries included bilateral medial epicondylitis and median nerve compression at the wrist, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, and median nerve compression at the elbow. Over use injury of the coracoid process has also been reported. In addition, a case of long thoracic nerve palsy has been reported, complete with winged scapula, as a result of prolonged exertion due to archery Fenland Archery Clubs News Letter March 2009 6 practice. Shoulder injury in archers has also been described. This injury involves mostly supraspinatus impingement, tendonitis and infraspinatus, or teres minor traction tendonitis. Another common injury, Archer's shoulder, or the recurrent posterior subluxation and dislocation of the shoulder due to the repetitive forces of the archer, can cause shoulder instability. Brachial plexus injury may occur, usually in the form of thoracic outlet syndrome. The formation of the brachial plexus begins just distal to the scalene muscles and emerges, from contributing nerve roots, at the base of the neck between the anterior and median scalenes. The pectoralis and subclavius muscles are also in intimate association with the distal plexus just past the clavicle. The term "thoracic outlet syndrome" was coined by Peete and colleagues in 1956 to encompass all the forms and causes of neurovascular compression in the base of the neck. Histochemical studies of scalene muscles have shown important changes at the cellular level of the scalene muscles with trauma leading to outlet syndromes. What many clinicians call the thoracic outlet is really the scalene triangle divisible into a lower portion or thoracic outlet (for subclavian vessels and nerve roots C8 and T1) and an upper portion or cervical outlet (for nerve roots C5, C6, and normally C7). Compression of the upper roots of the brachial plexus between the anterior and middle scalene muscles is really then cervical outlet syndrome. More common in swimmers and throwing athletes, thoracic or cervical outlet syndrome comprises a constellation of symptoms that result from compression of the subclavian artery and vein, as well as the brachial plexus, within the outlet. Archery expertise is based on constancy of neuromuscular control of the musculi trapezius, biceps brachii, and extensor digitorum and tightening or control of the scalene, sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis, and subclavius muscles. Specific causes of outlet compression include injury to the scalene or scapular suspensory muscles, anomalous fibromuscular bands, cervical ribs, clavicular deformity, and pectoralis minor tendon hypertrophy. All of these muscles are involved in the performance of archery. Thoracic outlet may also be seen as a result of postural abnormalities of the shoulder girdle. The symptoms of thoracic outlet or inlet syndrome are most often caused by compression of the nerves of the brachial plexus. Clinical manifestations can include upper extremity pain, paresthesias, numbness, weakness, fatigability, swelling, discoloration, and Raynaud's phenomenon. Four symptom patterns have been described: upper plexus, lower plexus, vascular, and mixed. The lowerbrachial plexus pattern is the most common. 7 A condition called "burners" may also occur in archers. Burners are often the result of a brachial plexus stretch injury and are often seen in football players. Nerve root compression causing a burner can also occur with nerve root compression in the intervertebral foramina secondary to disk disease and must be ruled out in archers. This condition is more chronic than acute in presentation, however. The physical demands of archery and the need for constant muscular control, coupled with the repetitive stress of practicing and competing, may certainly predispose archers to brachial plexus injury.

He's a nice man to give us all that information for free ! Treatments The article above is very medical in its wording and terminology. However stick to the basics treatments below if your feel any pain and seek medical advice. So what can you do if you experience any pain whilst practising: Always stop Rest is the key to preventing the injury getting worse Try to place a cold compress on the injured area for a minimum of 10 minutes, but do not apply ice directly on to the skin. Its very important you Do Not place anything HOT on the pain area in the early stages as this could make it worse. Any swelling that appears (legs,arms) should if possible be raised to reduce further swelling. Soft Tissue injury Soft tissues are not something you can buy in a box, soft tissues are the Muscles, Ligaments, Tendons and Cartilages, that connect us together and aid in our movements. Sprains occur when the ligaments that support a joint, are overstretched and torn - commonly resulting from rotating or twisting. Strains occur when a muscle or tendon has been overloaded or stretched resulting in tearing the fibres. Both may swell considerably, and is difficult to diagnose the difference between a fracture and a sprain. An X-ray may be required. For any strains or sprains – R.I.C.E. Rest , Ice or cold compress, Cover over the pain area, Elevate injured part. Remember: Always warm up correctly to avoid strains and sprains – Ady Slack 8 Executive Committee Members: Chairman - Dave Slack (2007 to present, 2006 Field Officer, L1 Coach) Treasurer - Glyn Dixon (2006 - present) Secretary - Colin Crowley (2006 - present, L1 coach) Regular Committee Members: CPO - Georgina Rawinson (2008 - present) Field Officer - Sarah Crowley (2008 –present, 2006/2007 records officer, L1 coach) Records Officer - Paul Attwood (2008 - present) Tournament Officer - Jill Anthony (2008 - present, formerly CPO) Webmaster - Steve Johns (2008 - present) Equipment Officer - Paul Anthony (2006 - present) Non Committee Member: Press & Media - Adrian Slack (2008 – present) If you wish to contact a committee member, all e-mail addresses are listed on the club website (www.fenlandarchery.co.uk ). A Message From The Chairman, Dave Slack As all ready said, It has been a while since the last news letter, but now we have a new PR officer Adrian Slack could I ask that any news items should be addressed to him.(firstname.lastname@example.com) Just a quick note on the clubs progress. We have a number of county champions within the club, as well as five county shooters and three level 1 coaches which shows that the club is moving in the right direction ,we also have two members on the county committee ( see the lists below ). County Champions P Anthony compound outdoor G Dixon longbow outdoor P Slack longbow indoor Longbow county team champions outdoor G Dixon J Payne D Slack Longbow county team champions indoors P Attwood P Slack D Slack County committee members C Crowley –County Coaching Organiser D Slack - County senior squad Manager. 9 County squad shooters P Anthony Level 1 Coaches G Dixon S Crowley J Payne C Crowley D Slack D Slack L Canham - Junior Club Secretary Colin Crowley Reports: Since September with help from Roz Payne, Dave, Sarah & I have put 20 people through the beginners course with 14 new members joining the club. The club membership numbers currently stand at 49. We currently have 5 people waiting on the next beginners course which will take place on Tuesday 17th March. If you know anybody who may be interested in trying archery, then get them to contact either Dave or myself. Please note that there will be no indoor shooting for general club members on 17th, 24th and 31st March. As those of you who are regular shooters will be aware, I am organising a county wide junior coaching session on March 29th 09 with help from Angela Watson (who is taking overall responsibility). This will be open to all junior archers in the county (subject to availability and on a first come first served basis) who have reached a minimum standard, and subject to venue availability will take held on Sunday 29 March from 9.30 to 12.30 at Parkfield Chapel Lane, Wimblington. This will be run by the county coaching group and will be aimed at improving the standards of junior archers across Cambridgeshire, and hopefully establish a junior squad from which a junior team will be select for the SCAS outdoor championships later this year. Check the CAA web site for full details. Club responses to the recent coaching survey have been very poor, however the response across the county has been very telling. If there is an area in which you would like to receive outside coaching, then please drop me a line. Targeted sessions based on the responses received to date, were at the next county meeting in March and respondents will be invited to work with external coaches. As a separate issue, those of you who took part in the last coaching session at our club can look forwards to another visit over the next few months. With the approach of the outdoor season, Field officer Sarah Crowley will look to put a shooting program together. This will kick off with another fun shoot - similar to that held at the end of last season, with a variety of shooting styles and targets used (target, field, Clout etc ). As agreed previously, one in four Saturday sessions will be a non-(roundel) target based alternative shooting day, making use of the entire field. Finally, I would like to thank Ady Slack for his efforts in producing this newsletter. I know all too well how much effort he has made and wish to encourage you to submit material for future editions, making his life a little easier. 10 House Keeping Setting up & Putting Away Please note that as a condition of the membership, all members are required to assist in running the club. This is enshrined in the clubs constitution. All members therefore are required to assist in setting up and putting the equipment away. If you do turn up after the equipment has been set up, it would be expected that you assist in packing away as we appreciate that at times this will happen, as we are all busy people. Any club equipment that is used, could you please make sure it is returned accordingly, with any damages reported. As we move outdoors, all members are reminded that lone shooting is not permitted. It is also important to remember that any lost arrows must be found on the same day – we do not want them found by the school as occurred on more than one occasion last year, jeopardising the clubs relationship with the school and causing a health & safety issue for all users of the field. You must account for all arrows shot. Please remember that the use of arrows with an all carbon shaft construction is forbidden on the field as it is a mixed use facility. Could the club also ask that when we are shooting, that if possible you turn up 10 minutes beforehand so we can allow for the setting up without inconveniencing others. Saturdays especially as more and more people are attending which is fantastic, but at times we are not actually starting until 0930hrs. I hope you appreciate the reasons for this message to remind all that time is money, and time lost is less shooting. Thank you for your future co-operation The Frost Bites Jill Anthony has been running the FrostBite shoots during the winter months, hence the name. Brrrrr. Jill informs us that this for all the ones who do not know about the Frostbite, it is an outdoor shoot and is for recurve and compound archers only and is shot outdoors once a month from November until March. It consists of 3 dozen arrows at 30 metres on an 80cm face. The team will be made up of any 5 archers – man, woman or junior. This works in such a way that as many archers can take part as possible so that the top 5 scores can be chosen. There are currently 30 divisions in the recurve league and each division is made up of six clubs, with Fenland currently placed in division 10. Each club shoots every month against the other five competitors scoring 3 points for a win 2 for a draw and 1 for a loss. At the end of the season the points are totalled and the winning club in each division is awarded three medals for its archers with the best scores. 11 If for any reason you can't make every shoot, don't worry, as anyone can take your place because it is the top scores on the day that we will enter not necessarily the same archer. The shoot Started on the 2nd Saturday of every month and the15th November 08 was the first shoot with Saturday the 14/3/09 the last. Set up time is at 9:00am. Please if you intend shooting indoors afterwards remember to bring the right shoes. If you are interested in taking part can you please phone me by E -Mail me at email@example.com . We are currently in a very strong position coming in to the final rounds of the outdoor challenge, and with just one more round to go we may just take the title, but scores on the targets are still in demand, so we still need your support in this event. Regards Jill. The Longbow Twig Chuckers Traditional longbows are made from a single natural piece of wood. They have been used for thousands of years, for hunting and warfare by, among others, Nubians, Kurds, Arabs Native Americans tribes such as the Cherokee, South American tribes like the Bari Indians at the time of Alexander, African tribes such as the Bassa, and Europeans since very early times. As a hunting weapon, longbows are simple, reliable and capable of taking game as large as African Elephant. As a weapon of war the longbow has been instrumental to several cultures. Worldwide the average power for bows of all designs is about 220 Newtons (50 pounds) (28 Inches) of draw which is suitable for most hunting applications. Bows for warfare tend to be much more powerful, with the most powerful bows being the English longbow and the African elephant bow, both of which topped the 900N (200-pound) at 80 cm (32 inches) mark. Many men in medieval England were capable of shooting bows from 670–900N (150–200 pounds) — deformed skeletons of archers have been studied, revealing spur like growths on their bones where the over-developed muscles pulled. However, these men did train daily from a very young age and their lives depended on being able to use such powerful bows. There are modern day examples of men who can draw such powerful bows. Mark Stretton currently holds the world record for shooting a 900 N (200 pound) longbow. In the Middle Ages the Welsh were famous for their very heavy, long-ranged welsh longbows conscripted as mercenaries to the English Armies, used to great effect in the civil wars of the period and against the French in the Hundred year war (with notable success at the battles of Creszy (1346), Poitiers (1356) and Agincourt (1415)). Traditional longbow 12 Preparation and The Psychological Advantage Following a recent coaching seminar held within the club at SHSCC in December 08, which attracted many people from across the county and beyond, the main emphasis was based around confidence and resilience. How many times have we, entered a competition or even just a simple training session only to leave knowing you should, and could have done better, Why is that, What's gone wrong ? A few simple things to think about may make all the difference. Preparation - Get up early and arrive on time. What you need on the day - Food, drink, equipment, confidence. Skill & Trust - Trust in yourself, skill through practice. Planning - Failing to plan is planning to fail. Confidence - There is only you to convince. Drilling – Do the same thing over and over, remember your good points repair the bad. Enjoy – Learn to enjoy from the experiential learning process even if it not what you wanted. Remember success breeds success...eventually! Future events will include a seminar by one of the GB Olympic archers.

Dave Slack has been asked by the Essex team manager to put together a longbow only squad for an informal shoot against them on 26th April so if anyone is interested to let him know through the club web site e-mail address Numbers will be limited, as I have to ask other clubs to be fair. Contact me ASAP if you want to be included on 07748 968953. Next committee meeting will be held on 15th March 09. Last indoor session – 2 April (resuming 1 October approx.). Outdoor season commences 4th April. Further club and county coaching sessions with experienced external coaches and archers will be arranged later this year – keep an eye on the club & county websites for further details. For All other information or requests email: email@example.com And Finally I hope to send the news letter out every 3 months, and if anyone has any information, news items of interest, selling equipment, or anything at all that anyone might be interested in, then nearer to the time of the next publishing let me know so I can include it. Hopefully the next one will be shorter due to the time factor. I estimate the clubs news letter will be out again in June 08. Happy shooting – Ady Slack

blueberry in container fertilizing
I know I can fertilize with pine needles. Could I also fertilize with holly leaves?
I think you will be happy you did Frank.......I had all mine in containers and this past winter I moved them all into the ground and they are doing great. Dig a big hole, fill with the appropriate soil and plant.....it's working so far for me.
Flapper......check out this video:
No need to mulch in containers if you are using a quality soilless mix such as the 5:1:1 discussed in the container forum. Container mixes are usually best using a material that is consistent all the way through.
Mulch is normally used on soil to help it retain moisture moderate temperatures, and and keep weeds down. A good soil less mix in a container should retain enough moisture as it is, and of course should already be weedless. It would not help temperature moderation much, if at all, since containers can heat up and cool due to exposure on all sides.
I have always mulched my blueberry plants in containers with pine bark fines. It's a good way to keep moisture in so that the pots dont dry out so quickly and that is the only part of the pine tree that actually has beneficial "ingredients" that blueberries can best use (so I've been told). I had always read that pine needles wont help any/much with pH.
rjiinja: If you have to put pine bark fines on top to retain moisture, then you aren't using the correct mix. 5:1:1 mix from the container forum can be adjusted to conditions, and the 5 part is actually pine bark fines anyway. If you need more water retention then the default 5:1:1, just increase the peat component. Your soilless mix should hold enough water to not need mulch. If it does, your soil is not correct.
