How to Dress for a Casual Wedding
When a wedding invitation asks for guests to come in casual dress, the hosts are typically asking you to show up in fancy business attire. For women, that means skipping the elaborate dresses in favor of more relaxed separates or more casual dresses. There are several simple clothing options that allow women to be comfortable yet stylish for an important occasion like a wedding. Here are a few suggestions for finding the perfect outfit.
Tips on Buying Casual Dresses
Whether you're looking for a dress to wear around town or just to the workplace, casual dresses will keep you comfortable and still look polished enough for an evening with friends or a business meeting. Finding flattering casual dresses can be simplified with just a few shopping steps. Read on for tips on buying casual dresses that fit well and look great.
How to Accessorize Casual Dresses
Have you hit a style slump with your casual dresses, or you are just looking for ways to dress them up a bit? Changing your jewelry and accessories adds variety to your wardrobe. With just a few swaps, you can change your style.
How to Dress for a Casual Office
More and more workplaces are relaxing their dress codes, and casual is no longer exclusively for the weekends. Casual doesn't mean that anything goes, however, which can make it hard to determine exactly what you can and can't wear to work. If your office allows employees to dress down, read the following tips about dressing casually at work.
Best Dresses for Petite Women
If you are petite, finding clothing that fits correctly is essential. Petite apparel prevents you from looking boxy or drowning in too much fabric and ensures a fit that flatters your body. Shopping for petite clothing will help you find the right sizes with all the fashionable options as other departments. The best dresses for petites are easy to find with a few simple guidelines. V-necks draw the eye up toward the face. V-necks are flattering for all types of women, since they show off the neck and encourage the appearance of a long, lean body. Petite dresses that have a V-neck also create a vertical line and give the impression that you are taller. Look for petite clothing that allows you to play with accessories and show them off. For an evening look, pair the V-neck with layers of necklaces to look glamorous. Find knee-length dresses to flatter your legs. As a petite woman, flowing long dresses may cause you to look smaller. When more leg is showing, you will appear taller. A flattering petite dress is hemmed at the knee or just above the knee. Pair a petite dress with heels and your legs will appear long and lean. Don't go much shorter than slightly above the knee, since it may be inappropriate for work or more elegant parties. Select petite apparel that hits at the right length and is flattering to your curves. Vertical designs will elongate your body. Look taller by finding dresses that have a vertical design. Dresses that have vertical stripes create the illusion that there is more length. On the other hand, dresses that have too many patterns or colors may cause petite women to appear smaller. A simple dress is flattering, whether it's one solid color or contains a subtle pattern. Petite women can use a wide belt at the waist in the same color as the dress. Using a belt in a different color may cause you to look shorter, in addition to cutting your appearance in half at the waist.

Best Skirts for the Office
It is important to find a comfortable skirt to wear to the office that is appropriate yet stylish. Skirts are a staple of any wardrobe; they are also one of the most versatile pieces of clothing and can be worn with sweaters, blouses or jackets. Depending on your office dress code, conservative or casual styles may be appropriate, so choose styles and colors that fit into your existing wardrobe. Wear long skirts for cooler weather. While the most popular women's skirts are hemmed around the knee, cold winter months are a great time to wear longer skirts. Formal long skirts, especially those made of silk or velvet fabric, are probably out of place in the office. Stick to cotton, twill or even wool fabrics for a professional look. Ruffles and pleats can also give long skirts a feminine touch. A-line skirts are the best shape for most women because they create a waistline and widen at the hem, balancing out larger hips. Select flattering skirt sets. To ensure your skirt looks as professional as possible for the office, find a skirt set with an accompanying jacket. You can pair the skirt set with any type blouse, including silk, cotton or polyester. For a clean look, wear a skirt and jacket with a blouse that easily tucks in and does not create a bulge or pull around the skirt waist. You can also pair women's skirts with separate jackets if you want to mix up the wardrobe. Choose a slimming pencil skirt. One of the most common and fashionable skirts to wear is the pencil skirt. It pairs nicely with a variety of blouses, sweaters and jackets, making it a versatile part of the wardrobe. The pencil skirt is flattering to all body types, from very thin to curvaceous women. The skirt's silhouette is straight at the waist and narrows at the knees, allowing it to hug all of the curves of the body. Look for a pencil skirt that has a slit or pleat in the back near the hem to allow for increased movement while walking. Find an appropriate casual skirt. Casual skirts can be professional and dressy enough to wear to work. For the office, look for skirts made of cotton, khaki material, linen or even wool to provide a comfortable option. Keep casual skirts mid-length, allowing them to fall either slightly above or below the knee cap. View All Skirts Back to Guides Directory View All Skirts

Grayson Fundraising
By Angela Hatton
Fort Mitchell, KY – Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson is fundraising in the Commonwealth, but he still won't commit to running for U.S. Senate. Grayson has formed an exploratory committee, but says he won't run unless fellow Republican, incumbent Jim Bunning, drops out. However, the Northern Kentucky Sentinel reports Grayson will be at a Fort Mitchell, Kentucky fundraiser tonight. He's expected to raise around two-hundred thousand dollars. This is the eighth such event Grayson's held since June 9, including one in Madisonville. Democrats vying for the seat include state Attorney General Jack Conway and Lieutenant Governor Dan Mongiardo.

Steve Angle Named as New UTC Chancellor
An "accomplished scholar" and "proven team builder" has been named the 17th leader of The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, recommended by UT President Joseph DiPietro and approved by the UT Board of Trustees on Friday, March 1, 2013.
Dr. Steve Angle, senior vice president at Wright State University, will officially become the new chancellor of UTC on July 1, 2013.
"Steve is an ideal fit for UTC. He knows what it takes to run a metropolitan campus, and I am confident he and his family will be embraced by the community. He has been a successful faculty member and researcher, and that adds value to his ability to be a leader," DiPietro said. "Our priority is to make UTC the best institution it can be and to continue the progress that has been made in Chattanooga. I believe Steve will help UTC accomplish its goals and introduce new aspirations."
Angle believes filling vacant leadership positions is critical and those searches need to begin immediately. He also expects to get to know the campus and its culture during his first months on the job.
Angle said he was drawn to UTC because of the opportunity to make a difference at a metropolitan university that's "right downtown. It's not a university off isolated, it's part of the community. It will have a huge impact on the future of the region and Chattanooga. To see them grow together with excellence is an exciting opportunity."
He is most concerned that students who decide to come to UTC have the chance to thrive in their new environment. He wants to talk with students so that they can tell him not what he wants to hear, but what they really feel.
"How do we treat freshmen in that very critical first semester? How do we help them if they are floundering? There are many different sides to it, not just in the classroom, but being on their own for the first time in the dorm. How do we help support them? Do we provide the right structure?" he asked.
Angle hopes to meet with student leaders on a regular basis, so that he can stay connected. Bradley Bell, President of the UTC Student Government Association, served on the search committee for UTC Chancellor.
"Students are excited about Dr. Angle's appointment because he has an open and charismatic personality," said Bell. "Dr. Angle will be able to connect well with UTC students."
Before his tenure began at Wright State in 2007, Angle served as dean of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and director of the Agricultural and Natural Resources Program at the University of California, Riverside.
The new chancellor will replace Roger Brown, who retired September 30, 2012. Dr. Grady Bogue, retired professor of leadership and policy studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has served as interim chancellor.
Angle earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry at the University of California, Irvine; a master's degree in organic chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry at the University of California, Irvine.
Angle is married to Dr. Dominique Belanger. He is the father of Zoe, Ian, and Brad.

1- Karlsson (elite #1)
2- Gonchar (average #2, still very good offensively)
3- Cowen (young but potential to be much more)
4- Methot (above average #4 defensively and physically, underrated offensively)
5- Phillips (Good #5 with lots of experience and leadership)
5- Lundin (Excellent 3rd pair D-man)
6- Borowiecki
6- Wiercioch
6- Benoit
6- Gryba
We're fine... Oops, Cowen is injured
So for now, Methot is our #3 but that creates another hole at #4... Phillips isn't in his prime anymore so it's hard to ask him to play that role (2nd pair vs better forwards)... but who knows? Maybe he'll surprise us as the season move along
Once Lundin is back, I think we'll be fine but we need Borowiecki and Wiercioch to play bigger roles and grow as NHL players. Benoit is cool and everything but IMO he takes ice-time of the 2 younger guys... We don't need to develop Benoit.
If we were to acquire a Defenseman, might as well use Vikstrand, Wiercioch or Ceci going the other way cause there will be a logjam at some point in the near future (we develop too many NHL players lol). On top of the 10 guys in the list above, there's still guys like Vikstrand, Ceci, Claesson, Blood, Wideman, Sdao, Boyle, etc developping... But we'll probably lose Gonchar, benoit and Lundin in the off-season though

Jason Frasor Rumors
Blue Jays Likely To Keep Type B Relievers?
2:16pm: Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos, who is in a lot of talks, "probably is going to keep his Type B relievers," tweets ESPN's Buster Olney.
1:08pm: The Braves "will continue to evaluate the possibility of acquiring either Jon Rauch or Jason Frasor from the Blue Jays," writes MLB.com's Mark Bowman. Bowman notes that the Jays want a significant return for either reliever, since they both project as Type B free agents and therefore could net supplemental draft picks. Both righties also have club options for 2012 at $3.75MM, so they're more than rentals.
The Braves' bullpen is fourth in the NL with a 3.08 ERA, but the group also ranks third with 319 innings pitched.

AL East Rumors: Frasor, Red Sox, Scott, Yankees
Here's the latest news from "The Beast"…
- The Blue Jays and Diamondbacks have discussed a trade involving Jason Frasor, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com, though the D'Backs aren't close to a deal with the Jays (or any club) for now. We heard last week that the Jays and Snakes were talking and the two clubs seem like a good fit — Arizona wants veteran relievers and Toronto has Frasor and several other experienced bullpen arms. Frasor has a 3.12 ERA and a 7.8 K/9 rate this season and recently became Toronto's all-time leader in pitching appearances.
- The Red Sox have no deals coming in the near future and at the moment, "nothing likely on [the] trade front," several team sources tell The Boston Herald's Mike Silverman (Twitter link).
- Luke Scott will miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury and he may have played his last game with the Orioles, notes MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli. The O's could choose to non-tender Scott, who is entering his last year of arbitration and is due a raise from his $6.4MM 2011 salary. Scott, for his part, says he wants to stay in Baltimore.
- ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews thinks the Yankees should pursue another hitter before the trade deadline, rather than starting pitching.
- The Rays aren't sure if they're sellers or buyers yet, which "is typical of a team with no room for budgetary error and plenty for restocking the cupboard," writes Yahoo's Jeff Passan.

Blue Jays Have Inquired On Padres Relievers
The Blue Jays have inquired on the Padres' available relievers, including Heath Bell, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. It's not clear whether the Blue Jays want to obtain a closer or are interested in flipping one of San Diego's relievers to another team.
If they were to acquire Bell, they could offer arbitration and collect a pair of draft picks next season, presuming the free agent to be declines the offer and signs elsewhere. Mike Adams is under team control through 2012, but Padres owner Jeff Moorad told him he's staying put.
Don't count on the Blue Jays trading their own relievers, Rosenthal writes. Toronto has 2012 options for Jon Rauch, Jason Frasor and Octavio Dotel, who all project as Type B free agents, according to MLBTR's reverse-engineered Elias Rankings.

D'Backs Eye Starters, Intend To Acquire Reliever
The Diamondbacks will add at least one reliever and could add a starter, too, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. The Giants, who lead Arizona by 3.5 games in the NL West, acquired Jeff Keppinger tonight and D'Backs GM Kevin Towers is expected to respond before long.
The D'Backs "would love" to acquire Kerry Wood, who can block any trade the Cubs propose. Arizona also has interest in Todd Coffey, Jason Isringhausen and Jason Frasor. John Gambadoro of Sports 620 KTAR reported last week that the D'Backs would consider Isringhausen, Wood and possibly Frasor.
Though the D'Backs are looking for starting pitching, Ubaldo Jimenez, Hiroki Kuroda and Aaron Harang are unlikely to be traded within the NL West. For more on what the D'Backs, Giants and other contenders are looking for, check out Tim Dierkes' analysis from earlier today.

Possible Reds Relief Targets
The Reds have had internal discussions about acquiring Jim Johnson, Koji Uehara, Jason Isringhausen, Jason Frasor, and Todd Coffey, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Isringhausen and Coffey have previous ties to the organization. GM Walt Jocketty might have to go toe-to-toe with the divison rival Cardinals and Pirates on certain players, as those teams also seek bullpen help.
Morosi adds that the Reds are also focused on high-end starters, maintaining their interest in Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez. The Reds are not looking for shortstop help, as they're pleased with the play of Zack Cozart in his first seven games.

Rosenthal's Full Count Video: Yankees, Ubaldo, Jays
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has a new Full Count video up, so let's recap…
- Two GMs tell Rosenthal that the Yankees are more worried about Mariano Rivera's nagging triceps injury than they're letting on. If true, they could increase their efforts to acquire a setup man, though they're hopeful Rafael Soriano will be back from his elbow injury soon after the All-Star break.
- The Mets have called the Yankees and offered Francisco Rodriguez according to one source, but they're only interested if the Mets call them at the deadline and offer K-Rod at a minimal price.
- The starting pitching market could soon heat up. The Rockies are getting calls about Ubaldo Jimenez and several other players, though they're not shopping their ace right-hander. Rosenthal says they'll listen on anyone besides Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez. Jimenez is under contract through 2014 (though he can void that option if traded) and could return a significant package of the players, so the team would give a trade serious consideration.
- Don't be surprised if the Marlins listen on Ricky Nolasco and Anibal Sanchez. Florida will try to get back into contention, though they'll likely entertain offers for both pitchers if that doesn't happen. Nolasco is under contract though 2013, Sanchez under team control through 2012.
- The Blue Jays offer perhaps the best value on the bullpen market. Jason Frasor, Octavio Dotel, and Jon Rauch aren't in the same class as Heath Bell, though all three could pitch better outside of the AL East and have club options for 2012. They all figure to qualify as Type-B free agents as well.

AL East Notes: Hughes, Montero, Blue Jays, Rays
Just when it seemed like the AL East standings were becoming a little less bunched up, the Red Sox dropped four straight and the Rays won seven of eight. New York, Boston, and Tampa Bay are now separated by just two games, as the Rays look for a sweep in Houston while the Sox hope to avoid one in Pittsburgh. Here are today's links from around the division:
- The Yankees will need to add another starting pitcher if they hope to win a championship this season, writes Mike Lupica of the New York Daily News. He notes that starter doesn't necessarily have to come from outside the organization though – it could be Phil Hughes.
- Rival evaluators have taken note of Jesus Montero's decline in offensive production this year, says ESPN.com's Buster Olney (Insider only). According to Olney, it's led to some speculation that the Yankees could push to trade Montero this season "in an effort to recoup some value."
- Within Nick Cafardo's Sunday column for the Boston Globe, he writes that Jason Frasor may be the prize of the Blue Jays' bullpen at next month's trade deadline. Cafardo adds that teams figure to inquire on Marc Rzepczynski, but he's the one Jays' reliever who definitely "isn't going anywhere."
- DRaysBay's Steve Slowinksi breaks down Andrew Friedman's trade history in a piece for the St. Petersburg Times. Slowinski concludes that Friedman has netted the Rays 20 extra wins while also saving a sizable chunk of salary.

AL East Notes: Yankees, Werth, Pavano, Jays, Rays
Seven years ago today, the Yankees signed Eduardo Nunez as a free agent out of the Dominican Republic. Now 23, Nunez is in the mix to be New York's utility infielder in 2011 after hitting .280/.321/.360 with more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) in his brief big league debut last season (53 PA).
Here are some more notes that have to do with the Yanks and their fellow AL East clubs…
- Joel Sherman of The New York Post reports that the Yankees "have told their scouts to bear down on several teams they think could have starters available" in a trade this summer. The teams they are targeting include the Braves, Angels, A's, White Sox, and Cardinals according to Sherman.
- Jayson Werth told SI.com's Jon Heyman that he had a "great" meeting with the Red Sox earlier this offseason, after which he figured they would offer six years (Twitter link). They only offered five, so he ended up with the Nationals.
- Carl Pavano spoke to Kelsie Smith of The Pioneer Press about being pursued by the Yankees this offseason. "I don't think [the past] would be a hindrance, but there would have definitely been obstacles," said Pavano. "I'm not naïve enough to think that there wouldn't have been things I would have had to overcome, especially the trust of the fans and maybe some of the guys that were there. That's reality."
- Richard Griffin of The Toronto Star notes (on Twitter) that four of the Blue Jays' ten highest paid players are former closers: Jason Frasor, Frank Francisco, Jon Rauch, and Octavio Dotel.
- When asked about the payroll disparity between his Rays and other teams in the division, Joe Maddon told Ken Davidoff of Newsday that he's "never seen a dollar bill throw a strike, or hit a homer, or whatever." (Twitter link)

Blue Jays Avoid Arbitration With Jason Frasor
The Blue Jays and Jason Frasor have agreed to a one-year contract worth $3.5MM according to a press release. The deal also includes a club option for 2012 worth $3.75MM. Frasor accepted arbitration back in November rather than hit the open market as a Type-A free agent reliever.
The 33-year-old right-hander posted a 3.68 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 in 63 2/3 innings last season, and over the last two years he owns a 3.12 ERA, 9.0 K/9, and 3.2 BB/9. Frasor is the incumbent in a rebuilt Toronto bullpen that lost Scott Downs and Kevin Gregg but added Carlos Villanueva, Octavio Dotel, Jon Rauch, and Frank Francisco.
Our Arbitration Tracker shows that Frasor filed for $3.73MM while the team countered with $3.25MM. The new deal essentially splits the two figures.

Blue Jays Aim For Bullpen Depth
San Diego's relievers combined to strike out more than a batter per inning over the course of the 2010 season, while limiting hits, walks and homers. Manager Bud Black saw five of his relievers appear in 30 or more games and emerge with ERAs under 2.00 at the end of the season and the Padres' NL West rivals weren't the only ones to notice.
Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos says he'd like to have a deep bullpen in 2011, like the Padres did last year. He says he's happy to keep more relievers than usual on his roster this year and that the acquisition of Frank Francisco doesn't mean a trade is imminent. The Blue Jays' plans for their relievers haven't changed.
"No impact at all," Anthopoulos said yesterday on a conference call to announce the acquisition of Francisco from the Rangers. "They're all quality relievers and we love having depth in the bullpen one through seven."
Or maybe one through eight. The Blue Jays have discussed the possibility of opening the season with an eight-man bullpen to accomodate their arms and provide manager John Farrell with a variety of options. Though the Jays could open the year with an extra arm in the 'pen, Anthopoulos said a traditional seven-man ensemble is more likely at this point. The Blue Jays' rotation is relatively young and inexperienced, so the team's front office would like to support starters like Brett Cecil and, possibly, Kyle Drabek with steady relief pitching.
"It's certainly part of it," Anthopoulos said. "We don't want to overtax our young starters."
The Blue Jays don't want to overtax their relievers, either. Anthopoulos says there can be a ripple effect when teams have deep bullpens. If every reliever is capable of performing in meaningful situations, no pitcher gets overused. But Anthopoulos has no illusions; even qualified, well-rested relievers struggle and the 2011 Blue Jays won't be any different.
"We all know that they will get hurt," he said. "Some of them won't perform. They'll have bad months."
Take Jason Frasor (pictured), one of the holdovers in the team's new-look bullpen. He walked nearly a batter per inning in April, 2010 and posted an 8.38 ERA through the season's first month, but recovered from his turbulent start and put together a fine year. He'll join Francisco and free agent signings Jon Rauch and Octavio Dotel, the relievers Anthopoulos expects to compete for the Jays' closing job.
Shawn Camp, Casey Janssen and Carlos Villanueva are also right-handed relievers under team control for $1MM-plus in 2011, so the Blue Jays have a surplus of big league arms and could hear from pitching-starved teams before the season begins.
The Jays have seven established right-handed relievers, but Toronto's left-handers have considerably less experience. David Purcey, an out-of-options 28-year-old, was reasonably effective in 2010. He's a leading candidate to make the club, though his walk rate and fly ball rate have been high throughout his brief MLB career. Jo-Jo Reyes is also out of options, but he has made just 11 relief appearances as a pro. Jesse Carlson, who was a mainstay in 2009, could also crack the team's roster.
While their AL East rivals to the south, the Rays, had to lower payroll this offseason and rebuild their bullpen on a budget, Anthopoulos reaffirmed that he has the flexibility to ask for more money if necessary. The Blue Jays can continue spending on their bullpen, even as their young starters become more expensive.

Tommy Chong talks Chong Star: An interview with the original stonerJanuary 31, 2015 —
Tommy Chong is nothing short of an ageless stoner.
Sure, over the past decade or so Chong has battled graying hair and prostate cancer, reunited with Cheech Marin after years of bad blood, and served a nine-month stint in a federal prison. At 76 years old, the mellow half of Cheech and Chong is beginning to feel the full effects of a life well lived.
Yet Chong still talks and acts and thinks no differently than the character he played in "Up in Smoke" and "Nice Dreams." Marijuana remains a constant, even when Chong isn't smoking: After pleading guilty to a drug charge in 2003 — federal prosecutors linked him to a bong company, fittingly named Nice Dreams — he made the seemingly difficult decision to quit cold turkey, with no cannabis of any sort for three years.
For Chong, the pot-free stint was half-mandated, half-personal statement: If he can say no to a bowl, anyone can. And rather than back away from his pothead persona following a drug conviction, he embraced it fully — right in time for legal marijuana to enter the picture.
These days, Chong has a signature strain, Chong Star, grown and sold exclusively by Marisol Therapeutics in Pueblo. His face and name are even on The Chong Roller, a joint roller made by the Futurola company of Amsterdam. He may have served time for bongs, but the legitimate cannabis industry is now opening doors he never dreamed would appear.
The Summit Daily recently spoke with Chong from sunny Los Angeles — Cheech and Chong's stomping grounds in the 1970s and '80s — to hear his thoughts on Chong Star, the future of legal marijuana and why he would've been perfectly satisfied as a bong salesman.
Summit Daily: Let's start at the top with Chong Star: After decades as a marijuana advocate, how does it feel to have a legal strain with your name on it?
Tommy Chong: It feels really good. It's unreal, actually. I can't even believe it myself. It not only feels good, it's a good strain, too. It has a good taste.
So you would you buy it, even if it weren't named Chong Star?
Absolutely. Well, you know, I'll buy it if it has my name on it, but I'll enjoy it no matter what. It has a nice combination of sativa and indica, so it's not too mellow and not too speedy. But I enjoy everything I smoke, for the most part, even the swag weed. That at least gives you a basis for what's good and what's bad. You don't know what good is until you've tried the swag.
When it was first released, Chong Star was a medical-only strain. Was that a conscious decision?
Yes, absolutely. My belief is that all pot use is medical. And the greatest thing about pot is that it's not addictive. It's voluntary — if you don't want to smoke pot, you don't have to. If alcoholics had the same control over their substance, it would be a much better world. It's the same with heroin or anything: Once you have heroin, you have to use it again. Once you're a heavy drinker, you have to drink.
You've been an advocate for marijuana since the Cheech and Chong films. In "Nice Dreams," your character even gets free rolling papers for being a paper spokesman. Did you ever imagine you'd be doing the same for a legitimate, regulated industry?
I never really thought that far ahead. Well, I was never really an advocate until I went to jail, and when I got out I was put in that position. It wasn't voluntary by any means — I would've been content to be a bong salesman.
I met (American cannabis activist) Jack Herrera and he turned me on to the intelligent side of things. Before that, I half-believed what everyone else believed, that it's a drug that can lead to harder drugs. But once I started reading and seeing the politics behind what was happening, it changed my mind. And once I started reading, I couldn't stop. You know how it gets with research.
And now marijuana is on everyone's mind. Talk about legalization: Do you think the new marijuana industry is headed in the right direction?
(Laughs) It's like an avalanche, you know? All the people who had the wrong approach and the wrong ideas are now running in front of the avalanche. It will find its own regulation, because you can't regulate it, to be honest. You can regulate as much as you need to, but that's really just to organize a way to make sure the product you're smoking is what it should be. That's really the only regulation you need.
As an old-school marijuana user — one of the originals — is it strange to see marijuana getting so much press and attention?
Once the industry gets up and going, like in Colorado, there's nothing negative I've seen. You just look at the numbers — the arrest records, the crime rate, the other negative effects — and they just haven't happened.
The only negatives I've seen are what's been manufactured. Those are the things we have to clean up, and we will in time. From the beginning, marijuana laws were a very racist way to put brown people and black people into jail. We just need to get out of the way and let people live.
In fact, what we want to do is deregulate, get rid of the DEA and the anti-pot laws and the forfeiture laws. We need to get people out of jail who were put there because of pot. We want to help everyone, from the people who were fooled by it, who don't know what it's all about, to the people who were victimized.
Thanks to some epic partnerships, international skiing/riding isn't out of reachJanuary 25, 2015 —

Summit County's best biking trail: Bike path around Lake DillonJanuary 12, 2015 —
Not all Summit County biking involves extreme singletrack or treacherous mountain passes. If you're looking for a leisurely cruise with beautiful views, take to the recreation paths around the Dillon Reservoir. The trails branch out in all directions, so you can rent a bike and plan a full-day sightseeing tour or a quick jaunt with the kids. "Two-thirds of the lake section of the path is virtually flat with no elevation gain, so it is a great ride for families, especially dads and moms who are pulling trailers or Tag-a-longs," said Kevin Kahle, of Rebel Sports. "The ride itself is approximately 18 miles and usually takes, on average, about two to three hours, depending on your conditioning and how many times you stop for pictures."Learn more »

I have a template called post.html in group.group. The template includes a safecracker form. I have the safecracker form inside and if/else statement so that if the url is /group/post/title then the safecracker form loads an existing entry for editing. If there is no title segment (url is only /group/post) then it loads a blank safecracker form to create a new post. Here's my code:
{if segment_3 != ""}
{exp:safecracker channel="trophy_gallery"
require_entry="yes" url_title="{segment_3}" author_only="yes"}
// edit entry form code
{exp:safecracker channel="trophy_gallery"}
// create entry form code
For some reason the safecracker settings like require_entry, url_title and author_only are effecting the safecracker setup in the "else" block of the code. So when I load a url without a third segment it's telling me no entry was provided.
Is there something wrong with the way I'm formatting this (a better way to do so), or is this potentially a bug in how the safecracker tags are being parsed?

I have the samsung galaxy tab, when I plug it into to eclipse to run and debug my apps. Eclipse doesn't recognize the device. When I try it with my friend's Droid 2 it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me?
If you are developing with Windows, you might need to install the USB driver for our device. For Windows 7, here's how you do it:
To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for your device:
Check this link for more information if you need it.
Have you tried:
Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging
In android 4.2.* The "Developer Options" menu item is gone!
Answer: The "Developer Options" menu item on 4.2.* is hidden.
*it's work for me*
Reference : http://www.wugfresh.com/faq/how-do-i-enable-usb-debugging-on-android-4-2-the-developer-options-menu-item-is-gone/
In addition to Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging, click on the following option:
Revoke USB debugging authorization
And then plug the device again.
Addition to Tor-Morten's answer: Only checking the Developer setting for USB debugging may not be enough. The USB connection setting (Android 4.4: Settings -> Storage -> Option Menu -> USB computer connection) needs to be checked for either "Media device" or "Camera" before it will be shown in Eclipse's Android Device Chooser window.
download the samsung software Kies .it detects samsung deivces
Go to http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html and follow up
this solution worked for me
Maybe its a matter of how you plugged the device onto your computer. I'm using a mac and pluged the usb into one of the keyboard slots. It doesn't find anything even you've installed Kies with all its new drivers. After plugging it directly into one of the slots at the computer the device has been recognized imediately.
Even it is a beginner mistake....maybe it helps :)
This is a fairly common problem. You basically don't have the drivers you need for USB debugging.
There are a few different ways I've had to obtain drivers for phones. The first way you should attempt is to go into the Android SDK and AVD manager and download the Google USB driver debug package.
This may or may not give you the driver you need. If it doesn't you will have to do one of two things. One, add the device details to the driver file you just downloaded. Generally these will be posted on forums/boards discussing your phone type. Secondly, you can download a different driver from another source like the phone manufacturer.
Make sure your account has admin privileges. I installed my Motorola drivers without elevating, and although the install ran smoothly it never associated them to the device. Once I ran as admin, worked like a charm.
Ι had the same problem:
While i had activated the debugging options on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S Duos Black), eclipse couldn't find the device because the usb drivers failed to download or something and so in the Device Manager (win7) i saw only Android and CSC something, all yellow and with no installed drivers.
What REALLY worked was downloading+installing Samsung Kies, connecting my device through usb and at first it failed again to put the drivers, then i disconnected the device, pressed some troubleshooting errors button that was on the main screen (NOT the lite version, the normal one), that took some time, re-connected the device and voila, the drivers were installed successfully and both the Device Manager and eclipse recognised the device.
I Had the same problem. I saw that the product was correctly defined under Device Manager, but Eclispe did not show the product in the target.
The easy way was to install Samsung Kies and to see that the following command: ...eclipse\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-toolsadb\adb device gives me some output instead of only "List of devices attached". once it recognizes the product, use "run configuration" choosing target "Active devices" under "Launch on all compatible devices/AVD's" radio button.
still, you don't get the product on the list as expected but it works. Good Luck!
I had the same problem on windows with my samsung galaxy device .. installing samsung kies solved the problem for me.
I had loads of problem getting this to work when I switched to a new computer. I downloaded and installed Kies, but Windows 7 still didn't recognize my device. My problem was the proxy my company use, Kies tries to download USB drivers in the installation, but fails silently and finishes the installation.
You might have this problem if your USB Driver folder in the installation is empty (i.e C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver).
Solution for me: install Kies without a proxy.
Unload EasyTether extension. This worked for me - look at the part about unloading the EasyTether extension. adb not finding my device / phone (MacOS X) I was able to connect my samsung galaxy note 2 to macbook pro snow leopard.
Download new USB driver for samsung/pc connection here: http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
After enabling developer mode and USB debugging of course. The phone should ask to accept the pc location as secure after USB driver upgrade. Installing KIES did not fix the problem on my Galaxy Note 3.
If you are on Linux you can try on terminal the following steps. Don't forget to have your device plugged in. Use sudo if doest work.
