The two kitties were every bit as adorable as described -- if not more. Liz was a wonderful, gracious, and attentive host. The bed was comfy and roomy. Very much recommended!
Elizabeth and Shane were very accommodating and gracious hosts. Their house is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The cats are obviously well-loved and are very loving in return. Thanks to Elizabeth and Shane, I had a great first experience with airbnb!
Staying at Elizabeth's was perfect for my needs-- a few blocks from downtown and my daughter's house. In town for her wedding and needed a hideout from the hubbub for a few days. Great coffee graciously made and left for me, a later riser.
This place was the perfect location for my visit to the Ann Arbor Art Fairs, nearby and very accessible. Instructions from Elizabeth and Shane clear and informative and they were very flexible with my time schedule and made it easy for me to get there at odd hours and feel welcome.
Elizabeth and Shane were wonderful hosts! They have a lovely home, sweet cats, and a bus stop just outside their door. They provided me with a wealth of information about Ann Arbor - from restaurant reviews to running route recommendations - and they even gave me my own box of cereal for the week and helped me get to and from the train station. Highly recommended.
Brilliant stuff! I had a really really comfortable time with Elizabeth, who's a superbly good host. She's flexible and unobtrusive (complements!) She snuck in a bedding change even when I said it was ok. She even sought out a special box of muesli, just for me. That's thoughtfulness!
And one other thing, "Friendly Cats" is an extremely apt title. If you love cats (or small fluffy things that meow), you'll have a really great time!
Elizabeth was here for a super quick trip so she could participate in a local 5K and a half marathon event. We didn't get to chat much since her event schedule led her to be early to bed and early to rise. I did appreciate her communicating her arrival and departure plans with me. I hope she got just what she needed in recovery sleep at my place.
Although I did not get to meet her, she seemed like a nice person. She is communicative through email.
Great guest! Elizabeth was a pleasure to have and enjoyable to talk to and hang out with. She was super quiet and clean and sweet! Even gave me some awesome chocolates as a thank-you!
Would have her again anytime!
Communication was easy with Elizabeth from the beginning. She was clear on her plans and schedule, and we communicated well on her arrival time. Elizabeth is very neat, quiet, tidy, and respectful. I would recommend Elizabeth to other hosts.
Elizabeth was a perfect guest. Very polite, communicative and low impact--while engaging to chat with when our paths crossed. I'd highly recommend hosting Elizabeth.
Super guests they were. Clean and easy to coordinate. I would definitely host these two again.
Elizabeth and her husband were great guests, exceedingly clean, quiet and considerate. Although we only met face-to-face as they were leaving, they were wonderful about communicating their plans in advance so we were able to work out the details of getting keys, etc.. Highly recommeded!
Elizabeth and Jackie were super communicative, and understanding when I was out of town and making arrangements for key pick up. They left the place in great shape, too.
I really enjoyed having Elizabeth as a guest. She was a great compliment to our chill space. Thoughtful and unobtrusive, doing her own thing, but fun to spend time with when she was around. Antico will be the first place we go for your next visit...
Elizabeth & Shane were great guest. Very considerate and respectful. They are welcome back anytime.
Elizabeth is the one who introduced me to (website hidden) and airbnb. She understands the social grace required for being a good guest. I'd trust her with my life. She's smart and fun, and yet not terribly loud -- so you can either have an interesting conversation with her, or easily pretend she's not there. Pretty much the perfect guest.
Elizabeth & Shane are interesting people who will not burn your house down. They know great things in their town and, as librarians, will do the research to find something awesome in yours!

Dear Amy,
As a gluten-free vegetarian (now vegan!) I have wished a veggie burger existed that did not have wheat gluten in it. Your Bistro burgers not only fill this need but they are delicious! Thank you so much for these as they have made my life easier and tastier!

I'm wondering how old your kids were when you instituted the two bite rule and whether they actually do it. I have often suggested my LO try something and she's flatly refused. I don't want to force her or fight about it but I'd love her to try more things.
Mother of two spectacular girls, born mid-2010 and late 2012
It's more like "a bite" at our house and it applies to everyone. Of course, I can't say how well we enforce it, considering you can't force food into people.
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
I paid my dd $1 to eat a mushroom a few weeks ago. After years of insisting she hated them, turns out mushrooms "aren't too bad". I don't make anyone take a bite of anything they don't want to, there's no rule. But I will find other ways to make it worth her effort to try something new :)
We have "trying days" where we all, DH and I included try something which till now we have not liked. We always try to make sure that are things on the table which people do like but every couple of months we make a point of adding something to plates for people to try.
Turns out I'm still not that keen on mushrooms but I'll settle for eating one every couple of months to get the kids to try new things
We even got granddad in on the act an it turns out carrot cake is not so bad but he still isn't a fan of beetroot.
I think the key is in them seeing adult talk about trying things too.
We don't do a two bite rule. One things I've found helpful for trying new foods is creating a nibble tray: I fill a small muffin tin with different foods: some I know my kids like and some they haven't tried or haven't tried in a while and leave it out. They've definitely found some things they like. That said, most kids palates shrink dramatically around two and slowly start to expand around 5.

Beautifully written. Except for 'people who don't watch television.' I have to say you miss the point there. It's not television, it';s commercial television. I still see the shows that I like and I'm well versed in pop culture. What people like myself are warning against is not having maximum control on what goes into your head when your defenses/filters are compromised.
The ruling classes figured out social engineering a very long time ago, and corporations have been working overtime to perfect it for the past century (I used to work in Advertising).
I'm not better or smarter, I'm just more sensitive to it and recognize that a lot of it leads to delusion and self destruction (and not by conscious choice).
But, like I said, your writing is sharp, with a top notch wit, and no one is right about everything.

Brush and floss your teeth like you would usually.
How to whiten your teeth using lemon juice
There are many different ways to whiten your teeth at home without having to pay the high prices of professional tooth whitening systems. Lemon juice is an acid, and it causes your teeth to lose calcium, which is why it makes your teeth whiter.
Things You'll Need
- Toothbrush
- Baking soda
- Lemon juice
- Fluoride toothpaste
How to Whiten Your Teeth Using Lemon Juice
Put baking soda and one drop of lemon juice onto your toothbrush.
Brush your teeth a second time with the lemon juice and baking soda mixture.
Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
Brush your teeth for the final time with fluoride toothpaste.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Brush your teeth in small, circular motions.
- Because lemon juice is an acid, it can harm your teeth over repeated use so it may not be the best tooth whitening method to use all the time.

Fire Burns at Concrete Plant
(IDAHO FALLS, ID) — A fire inside the Oldcastle Precast plant on South Yellowstone in Idaho Falls Monday. Fire officials say it began when a conveyor belt feeding the apparatus failed to function due to possibly some built up ice. They indicated they won't know until a further investigation is done. No one was injured as the company was able to get all workers to safety before fire crews arrived. No word on the damages done at this time. Fire-fighters had the fire under control within minutes.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Excellent holiday with lots to do. Lodge and hot tub were amazing. Would visit again and recommend to others.
My husband and I wanted a relaxing break away from it all. We didnt sign up for the activities, yet we could see plenty to do if we so required. We did walk around the lake and ventured to the dark skies area of Kielder.
We didn't do any of the go active programmes but they do sound good. Cabins are excellent and very clean. Situation is fantastic. See you again soon.
Fantastic park! Amazing part of the world! Well worth it, but shop could do with a few more extras and the food at the Lakeside Inn is poor quality for higher end pricing.
A peaceful, relaxing holiday, Kielder Water is not for those people who want to be in the midst of it - an hour to the nearest supermarket, half an hour to mobile reception, and non existent wifi made it a great holiday for us but not for everyone! The park was tidily kept, with helpful staff, a clean pool, and beautiful views.
Beautiful location. Very comfortable accommodation. Had some nice weather and, more importantly, clear skies at night! Visited the Observatory for one of their excellent regular weekly events. Early in the season, so quiet and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return.
very enjoyable, did not use go active programme.
Lovely place and cabin. Very relaxing. Loved the birds of prey centre
No instructors available on the weekend we were there
Great winter break, highly recommend a visit
A beautiful lodge in stunning surrounding forest area. Ideal getaway for relaxing with family or a group of friends.
The go active facilities were not available due to instructor training. I was only informed about this after booking.
We had a brilliant time and will definitely return
Beautiful lodge had everything we needed even down to toiletries. Spotlessly clean.
We didn't use any of the go active facilities so hence the score.
Greater pub with lovely meals.
Had a lovely break would definitely book again
We didn't take part in any of the Go-ACTIVE activities and there was no-one to advise on how to do them except a leaflet that was provided on checking in along with the receptionist saying if you would like to do anything please call the recepetion.

As the mother of a child with cerebral palsy, I too find misuse of retarded to be offensive. My child may be delayed, but she is in no way stupid.

As the mother of a child with cerebral palsy, I too find misuse of retarded to be offensive. My child may be delayed, but she is in no way stupid.
I don't know enough about the American electoral system to comment on the subject at hand, but your use of the word retarded offended me as well. Here is an open letter written by a Special Olympian to Ann Coulter, after she called President Obama retarded. Very effectively sums the situation up in my mind!
Dear Ann Coulter,
Come on Ms. Coulter, you aren't dumb and you aren't shallow. So why are you continually using a word like the R-word as an insult?
I'm a 30 year old man with Down syndrome who has struggled with the public's perception that an intellectual disability means that I am dumb and shallow. I am not either of those things, but I do process information more slowly than the rest of you. In fact it has taken me all day to figure out how to respond to your use of the R-word last night.
I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.
Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.
Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.
Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are – and much, much more.
After I saw your tweet, I realized you just wanted to belittle the President by linking him to people like me. You assumed that people would understand and accept that being linked to someone like me is an insult and you assumed you could get away with it and still appear on TV.
I have to wonder if you considered other hateful words but recoiled from the backlash.
Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor.
No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much.
Come join us someday at Special Olympics. See if you can walk away with your heart unchanged.
A friend you haven't made yet,
John Franklin Stephens

I can't figure out how to edit the title of a thread, maybe the OP can't either.
General Service Announcement (FWIW) :lol:
To edit the TITLE of a thread, you go to edit, then go advanced. That is where you are able to edit the title...
http://nolafemmes.com/2012/02/23/litupparade/ - words like this do legitimately hurt people.
To get back on the original topic, yes, the system is flawed. But so was your logic in using the R word to describe it (and so are the people who downvoted those who are against the use of it)
v. re·tard·ed, re·tard·ing, re·tards
v.tr.To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede. Set back.
v.intr.To be delayed.
n.1. A slowing down or hindering of progress; a delay.
2. Music A slackening of tempo
n. Offensive Slang
1. Used as a disparaging term for a mentally retarded person.
2. A person considered to be foolish or socially inept.
When I use this word, I use it to mean something backwards or delayed.
I personally have "retarded the timing" on my distributor cap way back when I would tune-up my own car. I have no intentions of deleting a perfectly good, valid, word from my vocabulary because some perceive it to mean only one thing.
I'll gladly take all the thumbs down if it makes just one person stop and think better of it before calling my CP/Autistic nephew a retard. I'll take the thumbing if it keeps my sister from feeling the pain of just one person using it crassly around her without thought.
*shrug*. No skin off my back.
Canada sends "observers" to elections in Haiti and other third world countries and we were wondering if they should go to Florida next election!
My gosh, I have never ever had to wait at all for any election. None. Ever. And 5 pages front and back??? I would not trust any question on the last pages to be answered with any thought. Just get it done...
I feel for you.
And you'll notice that the number 2 "valid" definition that you bolded is characterized by your own source as "OFFENSIVE slang."
[QUOTE=callidorre;6657924]I work with individuals with mental disabilities/developmental disabilities/ mental retardation/whatever term you want to use. Using "retarded" when you mean something is stupid, is the same to me as using the word "gay" to mean stupid/wrong. It really bugs me when people do it, and I do think it's derogatory. The reason people start using other terms is to get away from that derogatory influence. We even having trainings at work specifically on terminology in the past and present. And the term mental retardation is still used (though not as much). The field I work in is classified as MH/MR which is mental health/mental retardation.
YES! I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it.
Personally, I find it amusing the same people who go into hysterics over the use of the word retarded have no problem whatsoever with calling those with mental/emotional issues "crazy", "off their meds", "Fruitbat", etc.
I support equal opportunity for lunatics.
So, are we never, ever again allowed to use the words "idiotic", "stupid", "moronic", "dumb", insane?
And start saying such BS as "That notion/idea/thought has less than stellar intelligence and is of questionable stability in the mental/emotion dept??"
:lol: :lol: :lol:
and this is why American cannot move forward. Because people get SO offended by words. My grandmother used to say OH BIRDS! when she meant to say OH $H!T. The intent is still there, whether the OP used retarded, backwards, or whatever
Is it really necessary to get your feathers all ruffled up over WORDS?
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but WORDS will never hurt me. Do you remember this as a child?
And yes, my sister is some one that would be called retarded and NO I do not take offence to the word, just like I dont take offence to cracker (I am white) or Ma'me (I am a Northerner living in the South, and we all know Ma'me in the NE means bitch)
The OP got your attention by using a word that is not 'pc' well, may be we would all be better off if we let some of these 'pc' terms go.
And I thought after the movie "The Hangover" the word retard was ok again? I personally put a pause in between the "re" and the "tard".
If there's a legitimate reason why "America cannot move forward," it must have a lot to do with insensitive jerks. No offense. It's just a WORD.
And another thing--the "oh birds/shit" analogy is absurd. "Shit" is not a word that denigrates a group of people.
People getting all riled up over the "pc police."
You know what I hear when you make that argument?
Boo-hoo! People are actually making me comply to standards of basic human decency and I don't like it!
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me is such a load of hogwash.
Words do hurt. Words do have power. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
The OP messed up and people are calling her on it and rightfully so.
You know why Americans cannot move forward?
Because of thinking like you and the OP. Because of the lack of understanding and compassion and basic-level human decency shown by those defending the OP in this thread.
I am compassionate. You don't know jack about me.
But getting your feathers all in a ruffle over words does not allow us to address the issue at hand, which in this case is the horrible voting process in Fl. Over half of the posts on this thread are about how insensitive the OP is for using the a word.
The words; wetback, slut, spic, etc. do not have any other means and ARE derogatory, because they are purposefully hurtful. Do I use these words on a daily bases, no. Actually, I cant remember the last time I used the word spic, and I am not sure if I ever have to be honest.
The word gay means happy, but if I use it in a sentence, "I am gay" are you are going to think that I am homosexual?
I am sorry for those of you that have mentally challenged siblings, children, or work in that field that you are SO up tight about words. You are just as bad, because when people use the word retarded you automatically think of a mentally challenged person and not something that does not work right as per the above poster to quoted the dictionary.
The elections system in FL does not work right, thus its retarded.
I cant wait till the close off topic day.

December 2005, From the Publisher: The Desktops Are Coming
I know we are all going to miss Don Marti. Many of us LJ folks have known Don "forever", and we have worked with him for five years. Don had the big picture, knew his bits and was a great writer—exactly the right mix.
Getting to write this piece gives me a chance to talk a bit about what is changing in Linux and, because of that, what I have been working on.
We as a company decided to switch everyone in the office over to KDE, back on version 1. Everyone thought I was crazy, and many times, I believed them. However, this meant they all knew what Linux was and used it every day. Since then, while most people were watching Linux (and Apache) take over the server market, the desktop quietly matured. It isn't perfect today, but it is certainly easy for your grandmother to sit down at a Linux box and use it. But LJ's job isn't done. Desktops still require new drivers, new applications, security and, in general, administration. LJ here to help you with that, and will be for years, but Linux has a growing user market—users like the receptionist I subjected to KDE 1 so many years ago.
More than a year ago, we started working on a new magazine named TUX, and it's different in a lot of ways—not just in audience: 1) it is distributed as a PDF; 2) it tells you how to get things done rather than what is inside; 3) it's free; and 4) all the back issues are available for free too.
Is there a catch? Yes. We want lots more people to use Linux. Some of them will become geeks and, thus, LJ readers. But, lots of them will simply get to see why we are so excited about what we do and, hopefully, buy a few Linux systems. Some of those people will buy a system for home, but many will end up using Linux at work. That gets us all closer to the goal—World Domination. If you have a friend or relative who just wants to use a computer and you think Linux is the right answer, point them at TUX (www.tuxmagazine.com) for articles and free subscription links. And, maybe if you are pretty geeky and know how to do everything on the command line, you should get a subscription too. Although I am writing this with vi, some GUI programs out there are useful—from amaroK to Inkscape.
Enough about what else we are up to. Let's talk about what we did this month in LJ.
Reuven continues looking at pieces of Ruby on Rails, focusing on ActiveRecord, the object-relational mapper (page 14). I have been working on a project using Ruby recently, although we rejected using Rails because the project was far from a pure Web application. Ruby on Rails certainly has its place, and Reuven is doing a great job of showing us how to use it.
Marcel looks into amaroK and new features that have recently appeared in this fancy music player (page 22). Even though OGG isn't French for anything, Marcel fills you in on what amaroK can do.
Beyond that, we show you how to make Schenker graphs, master DVDs, replace your TiVo with your own Linux box, squeeze parts of KDE into a small footprint and a whole lot more.

Seriously? First, your liability does not end where your coverage does. If you are under insured, it is you who us responsible. Second, the insurance company does not pay out of the goodness of their hearts, they pay because you pay them to. And if you have a claim, you will pay more.
The lower insurance rates with dash cams are more about fraud detection than dispute resolution.
Insurance fraud is not an accident, it is a crime. Big difference.
Also, I should have mentioned rear-end accidents caused by the lead vehicle 'stopping short'. That is always the fault of the following vehicle for not leaving enough space. There are cases where the lead car may be at fault, such as merging in too close to following cars, but that is different from just stopping short, which is what was originally discussed (brake assist causes car to stop quicker than following car without assist).
Also, there is a big difference between fault for an accident and compensation for an accident. In the insurance fraud case, the following vehicle is still 'at fault', but the leading vehicle may be denied compensation if fraud is suspected.
I didn't find any references to 'overbraking' being against the law, while following too close clearly is.
Where? Everywhere I have been the driver in back is always at fault in rear-end collisions.
It does not matter if the speed control is speed adjusting, it is still YOUR responsibility to maintain safe distance.
4 wheel drive does not affect acceleration, it affects traction. The only way to blame 4WD for unintended acceleration is if you were planning on spinning your wheels, which again is just shitty driving.
And, no, I am not missing the point, you are. The 'failure modes' you listed, whether or not some technology was involved, are failures of the DRIVER, and that is where the liability resides. That does NOT tell us who will be liable when there is no driver.
You seem highly confused as to what insurance is. Here is a clue: the 'party responsible' is NEVER the insurance company. The 'party responsible' is YOU, the insurance company is just providing the cash for you.
Its cute that you think cameras, gps, and sensor data will make it very clear what happened or eliminate disputes.
Every single one of your examples is just bad driving, and have nothing to do with autonomous features in cars.
Cruise control malfunctioning is no different than the car in front slowing. It is your job to notice and react. If you 'don't have time' then you are tailgating.
4 wheel drive? What does that have to do with acceleration?
ABS - yes, that is what is does. If you are driving in snow, leave more room. Not that complicated.
Traction control - yes, that is why it has an OFF switch
Huh? It certainly is the fault of the driver in the older car.
I hate to think of what kind of shitty backup system could be erased or encrypted by ransomware.
Future plans would, by definition, be unreleased product, so that does not count.
And it doesn't really matter what they 'consider' public domain. A car manufacturer may very well 'consider' his design to be a secret, but once the car is available for sale they can't successfully claim it IS a secret - it is right out there in public view. There may well be things that ARE secret, like how the design was done, what tools were used, etc, but those can not be determined by examining a care (well, if they can be determined then they aren't secret). If there are elements of the design that they wish to protect, then patents are used.
Someone below used the example of Coca-Cola. Coke keeps it's formula secret. But if someone figures out the formula (without doing something illegal like breaking in to the vault) they can't claim the 'trade secret' was stolen.
The only way an NDA makes sense in this case is if they planned to have every person who entered one of 'their' datacenters, for all eternity, sign an NDA. Doesn't make sense.
NDAs are only for things that are not public. An NDA for a product under development makes sense. An NDA for a released product makes no sense.
that would suggest that (1) they don't understand what a password is actually protecting or is for, and (2) the incentives aren't correctly aligned
You missed the most obvious choice: they don't think like a criminal, and have no idea what lengths a criminal will go to, or the tools they will use, to break in.
There is no other area in life where an ordinary person is expected or required to act like a complete paranoid, but that is exactly what is expected by you.
The problem is not users, the problem is that passwords are a crappy way to protect something.
Yes, but if they had an NDA they should be suing for breaking the NDA, not theft of trade secrets.
How can you claim something is a trade secret if you show it to others? If you want to keep your design proprietary, patent it.

It is penalties like these that cannabis users look to circumvent in Texas, and one of the easier ways to do so is by finding a legal alternative. One such substance is synthetic marijuana, which is sold under names like "K2" or "Spice." Those products are created by dusting shredded plant material with a chemical compound meant to mimic the effects of cannabis, and they are available for purchase at head shops or gas stations.
While the two drugs do resemble one another in appearance, the intoxication effects of the chemical compounds in synthetic marijuana could not be further from a cannabis high. Users risk everything from rapid heart rates and elevated blood pressure to life-threatening hallucinations and seizures. A number of the synthetic cannabinoid compounds used to make these products have been listed as Schedule 1 drugs, but with the relative ease of tweaking the compounds to create additional "legal" versions, combating synthetic marijuana is a harrowing task for law enforcement.
The possible dangers posed by the substances users are ingesting also create a harrowing crapshoot. Tinkering with the chemical compounds may allow producers to skirt the definition of "illegal," but doing so also skirts the issue of safety. This became fairly evident during a span of five days in early May, when 120 people overdosed on a synthetic form of marijuana in Texas.
Austin and Dallas were the hardest hit, and emergency rooms were full of patients suffering from the ill effects of a synthetic cannabinoid compound. Their symptoms ranged from abnormal behavior to severe agitation, and many had to be sedated and restrained. Law enforcement officials think that the bad batches of synthetic marijuana may have originated with the same dealer in Austin, but little can be done to curb the sale or distribution of these drugs.
These overdoses are symptoms of a deeper K2 problem in Texas. Synthetic marijuana is dangerous, but it continues to be seen as a safe alternative to illegal drugs like cannabis. It's cheap, easy to distribute and legal to possess. On paper, everything about the drug makes it seem like a viable alternative to pot.
Yet the addictive qualities and the unpredictable high of synthetic marijuana have made combating it difficult. It's not just the typical drug user who's attracted to it, either. At times, it's the very people charged with your safety who are using it.
According to a 2014 University of Washington study, "Addictive Behavior," synthetics are two times more likely to be used by members of the army, since they're legal. In addition to being cheap and legal, synthetic marijuana is nearly undetectable by traditional drug tests. That makes it a viable option for members of groups, like law enforcement and the military, who are drug-tested regularly and are looking to avoid detectible THC residue.
While federal law has been circumvented by way of state policies on cannabis in Colorado and Washington, and even in states like California, where medi-pot (but not recreational pot) is legal, Texas is one of the last states that take that Schedule 1 ranking to heart. Arrests and incarcerations are prevalent.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, 73,611 adult arrests were made in 2013 for marijuana possession. Cannabis accounts for 59 percent of all drug arrests in Texas, and it costs us $50,000 a year to incarcerate each person in such cases.
Those are some stiff penalties for a plant, and at Tim's age and in his condition, he often wonders if growing the plant is worth the risk.
Texas makes no allowance for the use of medical marijuana, and possession is treated the same in all cases. A person in possession of two ounces or less in Texas faces 180 days in jail or a $2,000 fine, and it doesn't matter if he or she has a verifiable illness that will benefit from cannabis. When the amount increases to four ounces, it comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of 180 days in jail, no matter the circumstances.
If the push for legalization in Texas continues, there may be a day when pot penalties are no longer a threat.
Until then, Tim will sit in his little clapboard house in south Texas, tending to his indoor grow lab and hoping that he stays under the radar. Change is a-comin', he knows that much; it's just a matter of how and when.
Lucky for him, the cannabinoids in those illegal pot plants have made crossing his fingers a possibility.

Texas is hellbent on running a lawless society by committing perjury testifying that marijuana has no medical use under Schedule 1. It's a shame how many lives are being damaged by the "Mess with me state."
Legal or NOT, people smoke it. Moneymakers are the dealers. Fine by me. Have never had a dry spell. Always good quality. Fair pricing. Live about a 2-3 hour drive to Co. state line, 5-6 to major Co. city. NO worries here. Sure it would be nice to not have to buy in alleyways, darkened rooms, or looking over my shoulder, BUT, once I get my hands on it IT's MINE.....LOL.
I will sign any petition sent to politicians to legalize in Texas, I will go vote IF and WHEN on the ballot. As will the millions of chronic pain patients who've just had the carpet pulled out from under them by the DEA, HHS, FDA by rescheduling hydrocodone containing products. Doctors have QUIT prescribing HCPs even to patients that have been on them for years. NO MORE! Pain management doctors shocked the hell out of me when they said no more as well. Pharmacies around this area refuse to fill legitimate HCP prescriptions, so even if you get a legal script there's no guarantee it'll be filled. Sucks I know.
In the meantime I'm sparking it up anyway. Happy Tokin' Yawl.
SURE!. Git DinglePerry out and keep any of his low hanging berries ouy of office then Texas will move into the new future and prosper.

Smoking cigs is worse health wise, but it's legal, being drunk is just as bad as being stone and alcohol is legal, so why legalizing weed is a bad thing in comparison. I also feel that the crime rate will reduce if this would happen in Texas.
Alcohol is AS BAD as marijuana? Or a thousand times worse. When have you heard of a stoned driving death that killed an entire family? Or a subculture of weedo's passed out in the alley? Where are the dangerous consequences of marijuana? Answer: NOWHERE.
I find that this whole matter of the legalization of marijuana funny as hell, and I am also confused by some of the comments from people who think legal weed would destroy this state. I can tell you from personal experience that anyone I have ever met who is against the use of marijuana is someone who has never tried it, does not associate with anyone who does use marijuana, and only has comments based on all the political and false commercials of what marijuana does to a person. I have been in a room full of people who are stoned or high if you will, on marijuana and I have been in a room full of drunk people and I much prefer to party with stone people than drunks. Alcohol destroys more lives in so many ways each year than marijuana ever has, we know this by the fact that there are no documented cases in where marijuana was the cause. I have never seen someone stone start a fight, I have never seen someone stone puke all over the place, I have never seen a stone person have an accident driving, ( this may be because most of the time someone who is stone does not want to go drive a car). Marijuana has a relaxing effect not only on the brain but also on the body, and once you reach that good comfortable feeling, driving is just not one of the things you want to do. But if you do find that you have to drive. I have also been witness to being in the car with many stone people and nearly every time we were always in the slow lane going maybe 45 to 47 miles an hour. So you fools who have come on here and thought legalization of marijuana is wrong for Texas, then I have only one thing to say to you, you are idiots. You might take the time to read and consider history, long before we invaded this land we now call America, Indians were here and smoked marijuana in their peace pipes every day. I ask you, how many really old Indians have you seen walking with a cane, or slumped over unable to stand because of back problems. How many of them have you seen with any of all the other diseases whites, black, and all other nationalities suffer from. I have an Indian friend who lives on a reservation in Oklahoma and they allow the smoking and growing of marijuana, Some of the old people on this reservation are 95 to 104 and act and move around as if they were only sixty or sixty five. and you idiots also have to consider all the research that has been done over the past twenty years that support the fact that marijuana is a pain reliever, and even a cure for some ailments. So if you don't want Texas to legalize marijuana, then when they do you can move to a state where it is still illegal. But be warned, eventually every state will legalize marijuana because of its ability to stimulate the economy, think about that.
The worst thing that Texas could ever do is legalize that evil weed! Isn't driving in our state dangerous enough without having to worry if the person, driving in front of you is stoned and with his reactions slowed down to begin with he stops suddenly and causes an accident? Do we want Texas to become a hippie wasteland like Colorado?
@rowantom88 Alcohol is legal. I guarantee alcohol is worse on a person that marijuana. Alcohol intoxication is wayyyyy worse that being high. Especially when you are talking about someone being stoned behind the wheel. I would rather be by someone driving stoned than drunk any day!
@rowantom88 I seriously hope you're being sarcastic, because otherwise I feel really, really sorry for you and I'm very surprised you've survived long enough to figure out how to use a computer.
@rowantom88 Perhaps Texas should pass a law criminalizing driving under the influence of drugs. Oh, wait.....they already did. Legalizing pot would be akin to the legal ownership of a crow bar. Yes, bad people can use a crowbar to pry your door open and rob you, but owning and using a crowbar for uses other than committing a crime is legal. Your argument is the same one used by people afraid of guns.....they want government to take everyone's guns, so they can feel safer.
@darrynlyon @rowantom88 darry go eat ****!
@darrynlyon @rowantom88 Go **** yourself!
@Bill @rowantom88 Hate the 2 G's------Guns & Grass!
@rowantom88 Hell Yes!!!!
@rowantom88 Hell Yes!!!! God Bless the Hippies!!!
@rowantom88 Q: Do you know what the similarity is between eating pussy & driving in the fog ? A: You can't see the asshole (or rowantom88) in front of you ! Better a happy hippie wasteland than a bigoted redneck wasteland like Texas !! And quit picking your nose when I'm talking to you !!! LMFAO !!!!
Take a listen to Afroman's "Because I got High" then tell me if legalization of pot is a good thing?
@TexasForever And you think drinking is better? I'd rather see a bunch of stoners than a bunch of drunks any day!
@TexasForever Legalizing that evil weed would be a very bad thing!
@TexasForever Really? It's called a song. LOL
You sir, or madame are a complete moron. How old are you, 90? Have you the experience to even speak on this particular topic? If you have never smoked marijuana, then why the hell does your opinion matter to anyone other than your cronies at the rest home. Uneducated opinions should be keptin private.
@normlguy420 Of course all of these prohibitionists are complete morons,how do you think Perry,Cruz & Gohmert were elected,by geniuses ? These are the same gullible self-righteous simpletons that dismiss global warming because they believe in a "god" & think they're going to a "heaven". Anyone that stupid or naïve should have their voting privileges permanently revoked & be banned from ever seeking elective office. Just another example of the wealthy,the conservatives & the divinely delusional deity devotees duping the ignorant,the poorly educated & the uninformed who constitute their electorate. It's actually quite hard to find anybody that has had first-hand experience using marijuana who is now opposed to it's complete legalization & those opposed on the other hand have never tried it even once. It's like gay sex,they've never had it,don't plan on ever having it,don't want anybody else to have it & get livid at just the thought of others having it ! Well they can assume the position of doggie submission because marijuana will be legal in Texas sooner than they think & they're "knot" going to enjoy it !
Seeking man's wisdom about marijuana, and reject the knowledge of God. "God's truth about marijuana" jesusworksministry.org
@jesusworks2003 Keep your farfetched faith fomented foppery to yourself you fool !
texans aren't fat and lazy enough already, legalizing mj is a good idea.
@midnightfapper69 There's a simple answer to your issue.....stop paying people NOT to work. Stop rewarding deadbeats for having kids they know up front they cannot pay for. Then all those fat and lazy Texans will have to get a job and pay their own way in life.
The entire state is controlled by corrupt lawyers and corrupt politicians ... Lawyers make millions defending average citizens POM charges each year, millions and millions. Most cases never see the inside of a court room. They are plea bargained out with cash payments to the courts and to the lawyers. It is a HUGE racket of asset forfeiture the crooked courts and crooked judges and crooked DA's and crooked lawyers CA$H cow. All these brand new privately owned jails and detention centers depend on this corrupt crooked despicable situation of marijuana probation to keep the jails full and the CA$H cow of asset forfeiture flowing.
The only way we will see legalized hemp and marijuana in Texas is the day when all these corrupt politicians, lawyers, judges and the powerful people who secretly run this state somehow find a way to CASH in a vastly greater way and amount than they are doing by keep hemp and marijuana illegal. They will never ever do it for the good of the people, or because it is the RIGHT thing to do.
Isn't Texas the state that is threatening to send a teen to prison for life for making pot brownies?
@DonkeyHotay Sounds like you do not understand prohibition. You either pay the black market tax or the government gets their but.

@stevennolin utter nonsense.
What is the blackmarket / government tax on Oregano ? ... or Tomatoes ?
If the morons would actually LEGALIZE it -- LIKE TOMATOES -- there would be no black market at all.
The current quagmire in Colorado, Washington and elsewhere with their Massive Government Regulation and Taxation schemes is that BOTH markets now pressure those "licensed" producers -- the blackmarket which can ALWAYS produce a better and cheaper crop, and the greedy insatiable bloodsuckers at the Dept. of Revenue who have saddled marijuana with upwards of 30% in taxes.
"Could" Legalization of Marijuana Be in Texas's Future? Clearly a rhetorical question, to which the only reasonable answer - unless you are on Big Pharma produced legal, potentially fatal, prescription meds - is Yes! In spite of 70 years of a war on a plant, and $1 TRILLION dollars in taxpayer spending, people have figured out that a plant that has a lower lethal dose than water should not be illegal. With Texas surrounded by states that will legalize in a few years if they haven't already, and Mexico as a source of low grade but cheap weed, they will have no choice.
My question is, since TX seems to be so big on individual rights and doing what you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, what is the problem? People are going to smoke the ganja, just like they drank during Prohibition, so why waste police time and taxpayer money fighting the inevitable? On top of that, the Feds are agin it, so shouldn't they be for it just in principle?
In Kalifornia, the Bill of Rights are numbered, 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. In Texass, the Bil of Rights are numbered 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2.
The real gateway drug is alcohol with tobacco second...they used all the negative evidence found with these two drugs and applied their attributes to pot to further their evil cause...reefer madness...
It is time to ship these robber politicians and their minions back to the robber baron police states whence they came from. No more property taxes, no more $500 traffic tickets, no more murder by cops, no more theft of land from families, and no more drug war bs! We had no real problems before these monkeys took over and their anti pot and anti hippie Illuminati has to go now! Vote out incumbents, religious nuts, and people on agendas that do not put Texas first! Thieves are stealing the state blind while these buffoons chase kids down for smoking a joint behind the barn! Send them all back to Washington and leave us alone. We do not need them anymore!
trust this hippie idea will be crushed by Texans - thin edge of the wedge here lads - need to start gaoling users - we have the technology - we need more money and prisons to teach these scofflaws the true value of freedom and liberty. There is no other solution - look at the places where pot is legal - Holland - Kanada and North Korea - countries of crime and filth with no hope. Let us increase enforcement to rid the state of this deadly scourge! Amerika MUST remain free of these fatal fantasies - we already have some problems with the bevy of legal drugs including the more benign ones like alcohol and tobacco - do we need more? I think the consensus is no and can be seen from the majority of informed commenters .
No kidding man. That's what I was thinking. This poor fool must have had a serious mind screwing in his upbringing.
@normlguy420 This is why these bastards cling to their guns,it's the only thing that keeps their better educated & more intelligent neighbors from wringing their scrawny necks !
Great article btw..don't let that fool get on your nerves. Texas is too conservative to legalize this harmless plant. Proof of this is how one Texas resident is facing 5 years to life for hash brownies, only in Texas would this happen. I have been a TDCJ officer for over ten years and you never hear about the people who are sentenced to 10 or more years for cannabis. Ill never forget this one 19 year old inmate who is serving a 30 year sentence for marijuana. I read their travel cards every time they move between units or are released and what almost made me quit is when a two time child molester in the same cell block as that 19 year old was released time served on a 12 year stint. I cant even describe how i felt that day...it is so messed up, only if the public knew.
@dissturbbed Someone in the legislature has got it in for pot users and has made astounding changes to pot laws with little or no review. This idea that pot is a different drug than the crystals washed off of pot makes it into a different substance is just cruel. And the fact that cities are making big bank running (clogging) courts with pot users and running up the tab on them to $10,000 for possession of a small amount of pot is evil! There are even two laws on the books! They can choose to write then a traffic ticket or use the court system. They choose the court system. I say get rid of the two choices and bring it to one choice. And Texas needs to have a petition rule also. Not being allowed to submit a petition for a vote is Nazi politics!
I'll know I live in a truly free country when I can legally ride from one coast to the other with a pistol in one pocket and a bag of marijuana in the other.
meanwhile, somewhere else in texas: Teen Faces Life Sentence for Baking Pot Brownies http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/teen-faces-life-sentence-pot-brownies-23808314
As a person living with chronic pain from spinal arthritis and systemic lupus, an autoimmune disorder, I would love the option to try cannabinoids as an alternative or adjunct to opioid medications. Decriminalization is not good enough. Why should a person be fined for possession of a legitimately prescribed medicine for a documented condition? Why should we not welcome a relatively safe alternative to opiates which produce tolerance and require escalating doses? For that matter, there is no legitimate reason to consider possession or use of marijuana illegal while permitting alcohol and tobacco.
@Pat149 You hit the nail on the head

USAF Picks Boeing To Build Tankers; $35 Billion Contract
The Associated Press reports that the U.S. Air Force has awarded a highly contested $35 billion contract to build a new fleet of military air tankers to Boeing Co.
Boeing, based in Chicago, won the contract over archrival EADS of Europe; the two companies had staged a fierce competition to build nearly 200 airborne refueling tankers to replace the military's aging fleet of KC-135 planes.
The Air Force decision also comes as a blow to Alabama, where EADS had pledged to build its planes "at a long-shuttered military base in Mobile,"according to the AP.
Update at 5:30 pm ET:
Air Force Michael Donley says that Boeing and EADS conducted a "spirited competition" to build the new plane, called the KC-X tanker.
As Jack Speer reports in a Newscast spot, Boeing has previously said it will build the next generation tankers in Washington state and Kansas. Had it been awarded the contract, EADS had planned to build the planes in Alabama.
The victory for Boeing comes nearly three years after EADS initially won the contract in 2008, when it submitted a bid in partnership with Northrop Grumman. But Boeing won a protest that voided that competition, and a new bidding process began — this time, with EADS making its bid on its own, via a U.S. subsidiary.
The new competition was evidently very close. In awarding the contract, Pentagon officials said that both Boeing and EADS had met all minimum requirements for the new tanker.
It's not yet clear if EADS will seek to protest the most recent awarding of the contract.
The announcement was made Thursday afternoon by Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley and Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn, along with Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics Ashton Carter.

Help with my Crepe Myrtle.
I'm in zone 6, planted 2 Natchez Crepe Myrtles recently, water them everyday and the one isn't doing so well. The leaves are turning yellow and red and leaves are drooping. It gets plenty of sunlight, and Miracle-Gro 1x a week. Don't know why it's not doing as well as the other Crepe. If anyone can let me know what I could do to give it a boost and keep it healthy I would appreciate it thanks!
CrApe myrtles are drought-tolerant plants. The only way they'd need to be watered every day is if they were newly planted in pure sand. Longer (deeper), less frequent watering is much better than shorter (quick), frequent watering. Use your finger and poke it down two to three inches into the soil to gauge soil moisture. If you planted an intact rootball, check inside the rootball as well as in the surrounding soil (different soil textures can result in different drainage characteristics). The soil's surface should be allowed to begin drying in between waterings.
Here is a link that might be useful: Planting a Tree or Shrub - see section 12
and never forget.. they are not children.. they do not need to be fed ..... they may never.. ever.. need to be fert'd again ...
especially if they are planted in a lawn that is fertilized ...
if you think something is missing from the soil .. have a soil test done.. and act accordingly ...
Crape myrtles do fine in clay soil. Clay is the norm around here and crape myrtles are everywhere.
Drought-tolerant trees tolerate drought *only* after they establish a sturdy root system in their planting site.
In general, that can require1 or 2 years of regular irrigation as the gardener works toward a "normal" irrigation schedule for that particular kind of plant
In the several months following planting, the roots of drought-tolerant trees are gradually extending outward from the root ball.
So early on, the key is to water the rootball more often than the surrounding soil. (Butt that assumes the planting hole was filled with water and allowed to drain - twice -- before the tree was set in place.)
Crape myrtles are fast growers. Only a very very large one with a relatively small rootball at transplant would need two years of supplemental watering. Even a newly planted one shouldn't need daily watering, and would be likely to suffer because of it.
