Jim C. Hines is the author of three humorous fantasy novels–Goblin Quest, Goblin Hero, and the newly released Goblin War–which star a nearsighted goblin runt named Jig. His stories have also been published in a number of book anthologies and magazines, including Writers of the Future and Realms of Fantasy. Several of his new fantasies are forthcoming from DAW Books, including The Stepsister Scheme and The Mermaid's Madness. For a review of Goblin War, go here.
10) I find it interesting that you went from studying psychology at Michigan State University to writing humorous fantasies. Does knowing psychology help you appreciate the humor in the world, or do you have to have a sense of humor to truly understand human psychology?
Interesting question. I probably spent more time on this one than anything else you asked me. I think . . . I think that you can't really understand people if you don't understand humor. I'm having flashbacks to Valentine Michael Smith in Stranger in a Strange Land, how it was impossible for him to really comprehend humans until he first understood why we laugh. Humor is such a part of who we are, and we use it for so many different purposes. To attract attention or to deflect it; to cheer someone up or to mock them. Laughter is a communal experience, and that makes it powerful. It invites others to join in.
One of the best e-mails I've received from my readers was from a woman who said my books helped her smile during a very rough time in her life. That's the sort of thing I strive for as an author.
9) What are your thoughts on the differences between literary parodies and comedies? For me, most literary parodies like Bored of the Rings come across as flat, one-line jokes that readers quickly tire of. However, true comedies, like Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker series, and your own writings, are much richer and deeper than mere parody could ever be. What accounts for these differences?
I think one of the key differences is the story. Bored of the Rings amused me, but it was all joke. There's not an original story to carry the humor. Pratchett, on the other hand, writes great stories about people we actually care about. The humor adds another layer of enjoyment, but even when one of the jokes falls flat, you've still got the story to pull you along. If a parody's humor doesn't hit you just right, you've got nothing but a failed joke.
You can guess which of these approaches I aspire to.
8) Your comments about humor adding another layer of enjoyment to stories, and that one can't understand humans without understanding humor, really struck a chord with me. Even though one goal of fiction is to hold a mirror up to reality, many writers avoid humor like the plague. Grab your average literary or fantasy novel and you have lots of angst and horror and drama, but little humor. Why do most writers fear mixing humor into their stories, even though humor exists in every aspect of our lives?
I think part of it may be the (not unreasonable) fear that they won't be taken seriously. Let's just say I'm not really expecting to see Goblin War make the Nebula or Hugo ballots. Not unless they add a category for Best Use of a Flaming Spider.
That said, I do see a fair amount of humor in books these days. Some genres have more than others–there's a lot of fun stuff going on in urban fantasy, for instance.
But humor can be risky when you're trying to sell your work. Write a straight fantasy tale, and you need to match the editor's taste in fantasy. Write humorous fantasy, and both the fantasy and the humor need to work.
7) The beating heart of all fiction is a character whom readers can relate to. Your Goblin Trilogy follows the adventures of a nearsighted goblin runt named Jig, who is at best a reluctant hero. What was your inspiration for Jig? Why do readers relate so passionately to this weak, unimpressive goblin?
I wanted to write a story from the monsters' point of view. There are a lot of ways to do that, Shrek being one of the most popular examples. But Shrek has it easy. He's big, scary, and strong enough to pummel most heroes without breaking a sweat. If I was going to write these books, I wanted to write about a real underdog, and you don't get much lower on the fantasy food chain than goblins.
I think a lot of us have more in common with Jig than we do with your typical fantasy heroes . . . even if we don't want to admit it. Jig isn't the long-lost son of a king. The magic of the ages doesn't run through his blood. He doesn't leap fearlessly into battle to defend his people. He's just this little goblin who's in completely over-his-head, doing his best to stay alive. As scared and desperate as he is, he never stops fighting.
And sure, he'd betray every one of his companions to protect himself, but at least he's honest about it, right? The goblins never pretend to be anything other than what they are, and I love that about them. <BR>
6) While the Goblin Trilogy is funny, there's also a lot of action and adventure. Do you find it difficult to mix humor into action scenes in which characters may die? Have there been any situations where you wrote a scene and later realized the events which transpired were just too serious to combine with humor?
Not really . . . I think humor and drama work well together. Just look at some of Joss Whedon's work. My books do tend toward the lighter side, but there are still some fairly tense scenes sprinkled through the pages. Like I said earlier, I don't believe humor is enough by itself; you need a good story, too. For the drama and tension to be effective, you have to care about the characters and what happens to them. Humor is one way readers become attached to a character.
On the flip side, a good joke in the middle of a high-stress situation can be much funnier than the same joke in other circumstances.
5) I see that Jig is running for President in 2008. What are your hopes for this candidacy? While the American people seem to be wanting change in this election year, is this really the type of change they should embrace?
Well, my hope is that people will be entertained and rush to support Jig's candidacy by buying lots of books. From the candidate's point of view, I believe the thing that most appealed to Jig was the idea of having dozens of trained secret service people to protect him.
Personally, I do feel that America is ready for a goblin candidate. There's been a lot of talk about diversity this year, but the Blue Party is the only one to present not one, but two non-human candidates. (Jig's running mate is his pet fire-spider Smudge.) Goblins are known to be selfish, cowardly little backstabbers, so he should do well in Washington D. C. Jig's also a war veteran (see Goblin War), which gives him much more insight than many of the other candidates.
You know those corruption scandals you hear about in Washington? Forget the ethics committees and their wrist-slapping. Under Jig's rule, anyone caught in such a scandal would be handed directly to Jig's executive chef Golaka, who's already planning a new recipe for deep-fried senator. This is exactly the kind of decisive change our country needs. Vote Jig/Smudge in November!
4) I've never been a fan of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree, seeing the book as an evil story about a selfish little brat and his co-dependent and warped relationship with an overly loving tree. So you can imagine my joy at reading about the character of Oakbottom in Goblin War, who turns Shel's classic story into the tale it should have always been (for those who haven't read Goblin War, let's just say the boy is no longer co-dependent). Any thoughts on The Giving Tree? Any idea why the book remains so popular among kids and adults?
I've got mixed feelings about The Giving Tree, as you probably gathered from Oakbottom's story. In the beginning, I do think the book works well as an analogy for a parent-child relationship. It's a completely one-way relationship, but that's how it's supposed to work. The tree giving her leaves to the boy? Well, let's just say I had a lot more hair before my kids came along.
But the relationship in Silverstein's book never changes. In real life, you hope your children will grow up, and the relationship will eventually become more of a mutual thing. In the end, the child often becomes the caretaker, tending to the parent or parents in their old age. Where as the boy in The Giving Tree, who's now middle aged or older, is still coming to the tree and demanding she sacrifice what's left of her body to send him on a freaking cruise.
I like the idea of unconditional love. I'm not too fond of people who abuse that love.
3) Is Goblin War the last readers will see of Jig, or do you plan on bringing him back for more stories?
Goblin War is the last goblin book, at least for a while. As you know, the book leaves Jig and company in a very different situation, and I think there's potential for further stories. My editor has hinted that she wouldn't object to more Jig, either. But I'm contracted to the princess novels through at least 2009.
I do have a Smudge story coming out in an anthology called Gamer Fantastic sometime this year or next. That makes the fifth goblin tie-in short story I've done, and I doubt it will be the last. They're so much fun to write about!
2) Tell us a little bit about your upcoming novels The Stepsister Scheme and The Mermaid's Madness.
The Stepsister Scheme started out as my response to the fairy tale princess phenomenon. Disney and Barbie are two of the biggest perpetrators. I wanted to write a book that took these characters back to the older stories, before they were sanitized and commercialized. Being me, I also wanted to have fun with them.
What I ended up with is a mash-up of old fairy tales and Charlie's Angels. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Cinderella make an amazing team. Each one brings certain gifts and powers to the mix, and each one is struggling to come to terms with a rather painful backstory. The first book sees Cinderella's stepsisters plotting to destroy her. The second book will take on The Little Mermaid. (In my world, the mermaid makes a very different choice at the end of her story.)
DAW also bought a third book, tentatively called Red Hood's Revenge. I'll leave it to the reader to figure out which story I'll be playing with in that one.
1) One of the most inane questions in any job interview is "Where do you see yourself in ten years?" So let's turn the question around and ask, ten years ago, did you see yourself being where you are today? Is your life and writing today anything like what you thought it might be back then?
Interesting timing. Exactly ten years ago, I received a phone call from Writers of the Future, telling me my story "Blade of the Bunny" was a first place winner for that quarter. I thought that was my big break, that I was on my way to being a Big Name, and rejection letters would soon be a thing of the past.
Let's just say it didn't go quite the way I planned. I've come to terms with the idea that I'll probably never be able to quit the day job, due to the need for health insurance and a steady paycheck. On the other hand, I had hoped to be writing and selling my books pretty steadily by this point. That didn't happen as soon as I hoped, but I got here eventually.
I think the biggest way my imagination fell short is that I never realized how much more work was involved, beyond simply writing the stories. You've also got to worry about revisions, editorial discussions, foreign and domestic taxes, page proofs to review, random deadlines that pop up without warning . . . toss in the promotional work I try to do, and it's turned into a pretty high stress job.
Not that I'd trade it for anything.

DURHAM -- Parents with elementary-aged children in the Durham District School Board had to decide last-minute Friday morning whether to send their kids to class.
The public board announced Wednesday that schools would be closed on Friday following an announcement by the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario that teachers would hold a one-day walkout on Jan. 11 to protest Bill 115. The board didn't feel comfortable keeping the schools open without adequate supervision.
However, Premier Dalton McGuinty said the walkout was an illegal strike, and took the ETFO to the Ontario Labour Relations Board. The Durham board chose to monitor the situation and reevaluate its decision after the ruling.
The labour board announced at 4 a.m. Friday that the walkout was indeed illegal. Sam Hammond, ETFO president, said he respected the board's decision and instructed teachers to go to work as usual.
The board announced at 5:45 a.m. that schools were open and buses were running.
School board media spokeswoman Andrea Pidwerbecki said in an e-mail safety is the guiding principle in the board's decision making.
"With the OLRB decision directing ETFO to attend work and with ETFO agreeing to attend, we determined we could provide a safe learning environment for our students and decided to open schools," she said.
Attendance was taken and calls were made home if students were absent and parents hadn't notified the school.
"If this might impact a student's perfect attendance record, it would not count against this," she said.
Pickering resident Debby Woodhouse let her children stay up late Thursday night since she understood Durham schools were closed Friday. Her two children attend Valley Farm Public School, and her son has Aspberger syndrome. It was a challenge to wake him, she said.
"You can't do that to a child who is used to routine," she said.
After a discussion with her husband, the couple chose to keep their kids home.
"My husband is working from home, thank God," she said.
The parents of her children's friends also chose to keep their kids home for the day. She said some had already enrolled them in and paid for programs thinking the school would be closed.
She's upset that her kids have now missed two days of school as a result of the strife over Bill 115.
Since her husband is Catholic, she has the option to send her kids to Catholic school.
"Today am I going to do it? No. If they continue with this, absolutely I'll think about that," she said.
Courtice resident Jennifer McDonnell scrambled to find alternate arrangements for her children when she heard the schools would be closed. She dropped her daughter at a friend's place on Thursday night and took her son to his friend's house before heading to work Friday morning. Leaving early for work, she didn't hear schools were open until she was in her car.
"He had nothing," she said of her son. "He didn't have a backpack. He didn't have a lunch."
Both children ended up missing school along with their friends.
While not choosing sides, she'd like a solution so the children can get the education they deserve.
Oshawa resident Lea Adams didn't find out until 10 minutes before her son's bus was to arrive that school was on. Since he wasn't ready, she chose to keep him home.
"I don't like him being in the middle of it," she said. "But since I already homesechool (my other) kids I'm probably one of the odd parents where him staying home from school isn't a big problem."

CD review - Kip Winger - From the Moon to the Sun
This is one of the most difficult reviews I've ever had to do. You see, the latest solo record by Kip Winger is absolutely, positively one of the most gorgeous, phenomenal collections of music I've ever heard. How do you describe perfection? Go on…you try it! OK, I'm going to try to summon up all the adjectives and metaphors I can and give it a go.
For some inexplicable reason, I never got into Winger in the '80s/'90s, (my loss) and it wasn't until 2006's Winger IV that I got to hear the band. That record kicked me square in the face. Every single track on that disc would be another band's best song and the highlights were a plenty! It remains among my all-time favorite records.
Following up on the success of that CD, From the Moon to the Sun continues forging a path of artistic excellence. In short, it is utter nirvana. I was anxious to hear this because the trailer which previewed the records had a few totally compelling snippets. The teasers did not disappoint.
First off, this is not a Winger record. There are some rockin' moments but overall this CD travels many miles musically speaking and is not a typical rock record. Kip partnered with Turkish producer/musician Cenk Eroglu for a portion of the project but largely the credit for the record falls on the man himself. Kip produced, engineered and mixed the record as well as doing bass, guitar, synth, piano and, obviously, vocals.
You know how some songs are all predicated on that killer guitar riff or vocal effect? Well, the main building blocks to success with this record are all based around two main factors --- the superlative songwriting and the engaging vocals of Kip.
I can never do justice to the songs here but I'll give it a try.
The opening cut "Every Story Told" confidently strides in and sets the bar high with a wonderfully crafted vocal delivery and chorus. My favorite part of the record comes next with "Nothing". My daughter remarked that the song was really weird because it was like a bunch of songs put together that shouldn't work in reality. However, all the parts come together like some wicked witches brew and the result is amazing. The chorus here definitely made my ears have to roll over and have a cigarette --- simply sublime!!!
Shifting gears dramatically, Kip visits Beatles territory with "Where Will You Go" and his impassioned vocals are a highlight. "Page and Pages" is utterly gorgeous…like a cascading waterfall in an exotic locale or a Christmas-y backdrop with a postcard-worthy snowfall.
The ambitious "Ghosts" is Kip's foray into orchestral territory and although it takes the path less trodden, it begins to find favor after several listens. The dramatic flavor of "In Your Eyes Another Life" is riveting and the melding of the acoustic parts with the eerie choral moments bring about a truly harmonious relationship.
"Runaway" and "California" are cut from the same cloth and both are little bits of perfection. Kip sings the crap out of "Runaway" and the laid-back West Coast vibe of "California" is exquisite!
We return to the rawk with "What We Are" and "One Big Game" hypnotizes with its slowly undulating melody. Kip manages to come with another glorious vocal line in "Why". Slow and deliberate, this song just slides along with a grace that is royal-like. "Reason to Believe" is almost Toto-sounding, with a subtle dynamic hook.
Closing out the record is one phenomenal track that I almost have no words for. The song "Holy Man" is something of an eulogy to Dimebag Darrell. With just piano, cello and harp, the song is purely vocal-driven. The verses are tear-inducing enough but the chorus with multi-tracked vocals is jaw-dropping. This is simply one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
It's staggering to think Kip has managed to arrange 13 tracks that are made of this kind of quality. You just shake your head from beginning to end as cut after amazing cut flies by. Check out his MySpace for a taste test and tell me if I'm wrong. To sum up, this record is nothing short of phenomenal and Kip Winger is f**kin brilliant!!!

American Accelerator's Last Hurrah: 99.8% Certainty God Particle is Found

Tevatron presents strong evidence Higgs boson was observed, but LHC needed to provide final verification
Tomorrow, while America celebrates July 4, mankind worldwide may celebrate a separate momentous event -- the discovery of the
legendary Higgs boson
I. Riding Into the Sunset -- Tevatron Goes Out With a Bang
European Organization for Nuclear Research
(CERN) will
hold a special press conference at 9 a.m. The event will provide an update to the world on the progress in the search for the critical particle using
the Large Hadron Collider
, the largest and most expensive laboratory apparatus in history. Many physicists
expect evidence
supporting the existence of the Higgs boson to be presented.
On the eve of that event the
U.S. Department of Energy
, has published information that strongly hints at the existence of the Higgs boson, but stops short of providing explicit proof of its existence.
The data comes courtesy of Tevatron, a smaller accelerator 4 miles in circumference. Located on the FermiLab grounds just east of Batavia, Ill., Tevatron was long the world's most powerful accelerator. Its tests actually wrapped up last year, before the accelerator was
permanently shut down
, after the U.S. decided being a world leader in scientific research was no longer among its spending priorities.
But Tevatron's
last hurrah
has offered a tantalize tease of what lies ahead with the LHC. Taking 10 years worth of data involving approximately 500 trillion particle collisions, the FermiLab teams offered up signs of elusive particle.
The Tevatron's greatest legacy may be in finding the first evidence of the Higgs boson.
[Source: FermiLab]
States Rob Roser a spokesman for one of the two Tevatron experiments, "Our data strongly point toward the existence of the Higgs boson. But it will take results from the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe to establish a discovery."
The Tevatron was able to determine with relative accuracy that the particle it observed was a Higgs boson. But the 1-in-550 chance that the finding was a statistical fluke (99.8 percent level of certainty) was unacceptably high in the laser-precise world of particle physics -- hence the LHC's firepower is necessary.
The LHC is better equipped to find the Higgs boson, with its higher beam energy, longer 17 mi. (circumference) track, and state-of-the-art detection gear.
II. Why the Higgs Boson Matters
The Higgs boson is the only fundamental subatomic particle predicted by the Standard Model that has yet to be observed.
But it is not mere novelty that drives researchers to observe this particular particle, one must understand the Standard Model of particle physics. This pillar of physics theory predicts that the Higgs boson gives rise to the so-called Higgs mechanism, a sort of "sticky field" that coats particles like a spoon dipping through a jar of honey. This "sticky" effect is thought to give protons, neutrons, and electrons -- the building blocks of matter that most of us are familiar with -- their mass.
Unfortunately the Higgs boson needs very high beam energy and luminosity in order to be provide enough mass and conditions favorable to a Higgs boson. The Higgs boson is predicted to be less that 1.4 TeV, if the Standard Model is correct.
If the Higgs boson or similar electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism are not found to give the subatomic particles their mass, then it will be an intriguing open season for new theories. But if the Higgs boson is observed, mankind will be content in knowing that we have quantified yet another facet of reality as we know it.
Nobel Prize laureate Leon Lederman popularized the hunt for the Higgs boson in his book "
The God Particle
", which chronicled his work hunting for the particle at FermiLab. Professor Lederman originally intended the title to be "The Goddamn Particle" -- an expression of his frustration at the difficult observing it. The title was subsequently shortened and the phrase "God particle" stuck as a colloquialism for the complex theoretical particle.
A Nobel prize winner nicknamed the Higgs boson the "God particle", a less cheeky shortening of his longer name for it -- the "Goddamn particle". [Image Source: Gandee Vasan/Getty Images]
The latest results from his lab do little to end the frustration, but they do provide indication that a Higgs boson's mass would be between 115 and 135 GeV -- about 130 times the mass of the proton.
Now all that remains is to see what exactly the LHC has gleaned within that band of energies.
Was the Tevatron's blip, unlikely as it may be, a mere stastical fluctuation, or was it the first observation of the God particle? The data from the LHC should offer evidence towards which possibility is true.

RE: Isn't it crazy
Socialism is primarily about redistributing wealth and equality of outcomes, no matter what, and state control of capital. Public roads, police, military; those are all basic functions of state that even many libertarians would agree to.. after a little arguing over the wisdom of public roads/infrastructure (there's ways of introducing private sector involvement there asides from tolls).
The only real point you made, despite accusing someone else of "stupid talking points," was public schools. Look at what teacher unions generally do, look at the state of our public schools (where we spend the most of any country and get Washington DC schools as a result), and tell me that its an unambiguous 'win' for us there. There's a strong argument for a voucher-based privatized school system and regulated with minimum educational outcome requirements.

Pedro Florimon SS PIT 4 Months
The Pirates claimed Florimon off waivers from the Nationals on Thursday, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports.
Florimon did not appear in a game with the Nationals after being claimed by the club in mid-September. He struggled mightily with the bat last season but could get a shot to compete for a utility job during spring training.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT 6 Months
The Nationals claimed Florimon off waivers from the Twins on Thursday.
Florimon compiled a disastrous .092/.179/.132 batting line in 33 games with Minnesota earlier this season, but he'll get a fresh start with Washington, with Eury Perez designated for assignment in the corresponding move. Although Florimon has played primarily at short in his professional career, he can play second base and third base if needed. He'll likely serve merely as depth over the final week of the regular season.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT 8 Months
Florimon has played five games at second base and seven games at third base, along with 47 games at shortstop, at Triple-A Rochester and is hitting .257/.335/.364.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT 9 Months
Pedro Florimon Jr. went 0-for-3 and lost a popup in the sun for an RBI double Thursday in the loss to the Angels.
Florimon is hitting .096 this year, so he needs to be pretty stellar defensively to justify some playing time and he hasn't been quite that good. He'll return to the bench once Danny Santana gets healthy.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT 10 Months
Twins recalled INF Pedro Florimon from Triple-A Rochester.
He's taking Trevor Plouffe's (oblique) spot on the roster. Florimon was sent down last month after hitting just .108/.194/.154, and he didn't exactly catch the world on fire at Triple-A, either, with a .230/.291/.330. The 27-year-old will be used as a backup infielder.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT 11 Months
Twins optioned INF Pedro Florimon to Triple-A Rochester.
Florimon was batting .108/.194/.154 in 25 games with the Twins. He will work on his game at Triple-A and should get another look in Minnesota later this season.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT Dec 22 '79
Pedro Florimon (appendectomy) is scheduled to play in a minor league game on Friday.
It will be his first live game since having his appendix removed in mid-February. Florimon is hoping to open the season as the Twins' starting shortstop, but he'll have to avoid physical setbacks to pull that off.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT Dec 18 '79
Pedro Florimon (appendectomy) hopes to make his Grapefruit League debut in a week.
Florimon has been going through fielding drills and taking batting practice with no issues. He'll be able to get in about two weeks' worth of spring at-bats, which should be enough to prepare him for Opening Day. "I think 25, 30 at-bats, and I think I would be ready," he said.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT Dec 14 '79
Pedro Florimon (appendectomy) fielded grounders at shortstop on Wednesday in Twins camp.
Florimon is performing most baseball-related activities at this point and should be close to 100 percent by the start of the regular season. He had to take a couple of weeks off after having his appendix removed. The final hurdle before his Grapefruit League debut will be live batting practice.
Pedro Florimon SS PIT Dec 12 '79
Pedro Florimon (appendectomy) took 20-30 light swings off a tee Sunday in Twins camp.
Florimon told reporters after the workout that he felt no discomfort. He underwent an appendectomy in mid-February and might not make his Grapefruit League debut for another week, but there's still some hope that the Minnesota shortstop will be ready for Opening Day.

iTunes now 3rd largest music retailer in US
According to a just-published NPD Group MusicWatch report for the first quarter of 2007, covering the sales of both physical and downloadable music, Apple's iTunes has jumped in rank to become the third-largest retailer of music in the United States. iTunes now holds a 9.8% share of music purchases, ahead of fourth place Amazon.com at 6.7% and fifth place Target at 6.6%. Walmart remains the nation's largest music retailer with a 15.8% share of the market, with Best Buy holding 13.8% for second place.
The MusicWatch findings are especially interesting in that 86.2% of the quarter's music sales were in a physical (CD) format, versus a 13.8% share in downloadable format. Unlike Wal-Mart and Best Buy, iTunes gained share despite the fact that it only sells downloadable content. It leapfrogged CD-heavy competitor Amazon to gain fourth place in January.

Posted 26 May 2010 - 07:47 PM
If you're in Canada I'd suggest going to BCseeds.com. That's where I usually get my stuff. They have growing difficulty rated for each of their strains. Although some of their strains are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. But if you aim for their seeds that are like 70-200 bucks for a ten pack, I've always had great germination rates and the seeds seem to produce a good female to male ratio.
So yeah, I haven't had really extensive growing experience, I'm on my third year (fourth grow) right now, so I still have much to learn. But my first plants all grew good. Also, personally I love the AK47 high and taste, plus it usually has a pretty high potency.
Hope that helped, good luck

AK is mold suseptable,The NL will work,U might wanna try some timewarp,purple pineberry.These strains are known for takin abuse and still produceing
About the mold suseptability, that's interesting. I've grown AK pure or cross-bred with other strains four times, and I've never had a mold problem. It's always produced good plants and I've had very few problems with it.

Oh yeah I see what you mean. Most of the time I've grown it's been in a relatively dry environment lol

What`s up guys,help me to choose a strong,forgiving for mistakes (because i am still a noob) potent and easy to grow strain for my outdoor grow. I need to be regular seeds because i want to keep seeds for the next year. So i am wondering between "Sensi Seeds" Norhtern Lights" and "Serious Seeds" "AK47"?
Friend your picking your strain for the wrong reason. When picking a strain you need to factor in more.
What will be your grow conditions?
Backyard grow or out in the sticks?
When is the frost date in your area?
Do you want 12 foot plants or short bushes?
Do you have to worry about oders?
Is your area wet? (Mold fighting strains)
Things like that

Ok thanks for the advice friend. I live in South-Eastern Europe (Serbia),i will grow them in my backyard in soil,i know that the last frost is in the end of april,but i don`t know about the autumn. I preffer to be bushy (Indica). I don`t have to worry about the odour. And i wonna be forgiving for misstakes because i allways put too much fertilizer or too much pesticides and i burn the leaves all the time. So can you help me to choose a strain? i will buy them from Seedsman Homepage Seedsman - Cannabis And Marijuana Seeds because only they accept debit cards from my country.
So which strain to choose : Black Widow from Mr. Nice http://www.seedsman....ack-widow-seeds
AK 47 from Serious Seeds http://www.seedsman....eeds/ak47-seeds
or something else???
I want the best balance between outdoor surviving / yield and THC content.

Following her graduation in 1993, Frost was employed as an art teacher in Oswego, Ill., and Rockford. An enthusiastic educator and advocate of community arts partnerships and district-wide enrichment programming, her dedication was recognized when she was named an Educator of the Year by 21st Century Magazine in 1999.
In the summer of 2001, she joined the staff of NIU's Visual Arts Camp for high school students as a painting instructor. Her involvement that summer led her to create a new way to support both young artists and her alma mater.
In 2004, she held the inaugural Frost & Friends holiday shopping event in Rockford, using the proceeds to fund scholarships for Rockford-area high school students to attend the summer camp. Over the years, the proceeds from this highly-celebrated and attended community event have been used to fully fund more than 30 scholarships.

Mercy, CHS officials mull hospital system name change
When Kerry Armillay thinks of Mercy Hospital, she thinks about high-quality medical care delivered by compassionate workers. Read more

How about, "No Insurance, No Mercy" Hospital?
CHS is a cutthroat, for-profit entity with an egomaniac at the helm who pays himself more money than most CEOs of companies 10 times the size of CHS make.
Sad to see this non-profit hospital be gobbled up by another greedy for-profit hospital chain.
#2 Mar 26, 2011
CHS is one of the most under handed corporations around. i can promise you as an ex director, profit is the only thing on their mind.
#3 Apr 8, 2011
I work at CHS and I agree with souytherngal63... this company really is terrible.
Yes, Wayne's compensation is absolutely absurd and ridiculous. This guy is raking in 18-20 million a year for a company with what, a 4 billion market cap? He's making more than the CEO of McDonalds. And trust me, Wayne's Humana friends there are making a killing too. A VP's salary routinely runs $500k+ not including stock options.(notice execs never buy the stock, only sell it - ticker: cyh).
If you work on the ground floor - you work for pennies. Their pay is low and forget about being promoted internally. You WILL be bent over. The max raise you will get is 10% and usually it will be less than that. You could work as an admin making 30k and apply for a position where the avg salary is 45-50k and they would only boost you 10%. It's cheap and pathetic.
From my conversations with fellow employees, moral is extremely low. The demands and hours are long for the pay they offer. There is no median here, it's either you're a millionaire bud of Wayne's or making dirt.
Forget about getting the supplies or tools you need to get your job done - you'll only get those when it is absolutely required or you'll be working with a barebones skeleton crew.
When this company buys a hospital, here's what happens: Staff is slashed, hours are increased for those left, benefits are reduced and equipment needed to get the job done is no longer available. Yeah, the hospital is run profitably at the expense of patient care and employees. Don't worry though management is compensated well.
Trust me from a mid-level employees... In my opinion, you don't want to work here. These' a reason turn around here is high, this company has one of the worst reputations as a place to work in the nashville area.
#4 Apr 8, 2011
Oh, and the health benefits/insurance plain SUCK. And we're a health care company!
#5 Apr 8, 2011
go throw something purple infront of wayne and watch him freak out.
#6 Apr 14, 2011
Good Ol' Wayne racked up just shy of 21 million for the year 2010.
This good nice man is making just 500k less than the ceo of Exxon Mobile. Keep in mind CHS is a $3b company not a 300b company.
For a company that pays their employees like shit, he certainly seems to follow the "do as i say not as i do" mantra.
When you think of executive compensation and greed, CHS is where it should be at.

Sharpton: He, And Others, Should Not Be Defensive About Rhetoric
As the national conversation continues about whether last Saturday's shooting rampage in Arizona is a wake-up call for politicians of all persuasions telling them to dial-down their rhetoric, the Rev. Al Sharpton has weighed in to suggest that we need "dialogue that's passionate, but not poisonous."
He made that case earlier this week on the op-ed page of The Washington Post, and again today in a conversation with Tell Me More host Michel Martin.
In the Post and in his discussion with Michel, Sharpton conceded that "I've been on both sides of this" — as the victim of an attack and as someone who's been accused of inciting violence with his words.
What's he's come to believe, Sharpton told Michel, is that when public figures are accused of going too far with things they've said, "the best thing to do is don't take it defensively ... learn from this moment." He and others, Sharpton said, should take such criticism as a sign that "maybe maybe I should check [whether] I could have caused it" [a violent incident].
As for former Gov. Sarah Palin, who has objected strongly to what she says are links that some pundits and commentators have made between her words and actions and the Arizona tragedy, Sharpton said that "I'm not saying Sarah Palin is guilty or not guilty, did or didn't. I'm saying on my own example, if you're in public you've got to be more careful."
Here's the conversation Michel had with Sharpton:

under counter ice makers-are any reliable and quiet?
Hi all,
I've looked through all the posts about ice makers and it seems like lately Hoshizaki is being recommended. Does anyone actually own one of these that can comment on how quiet it is and how well it works? I would rather have a gravity drain (which I know Hoshizaki is not). Any suggestions?
Just bought and installed one of these (Hoshizaki C-100BAF, about $2700 with the drain pump, vivco-ice.com, salesman was John S - they are very helpful, I asked questions for over a year and they were always patient). The ice is amazing. It is a little louder than I expected, but still a little quieter than a regular mid-priced dishwasher and it doesn't make any noise when it's full and not making ice. I think you do not need a drain pump if you can drain via gravity (I installed mine in a bar area that had a sink - so I needed the pump).
Overall, we are very happy with it (but do wish it was a little quieter).
Hope this helps,
See my comments in the thread below.
Basically, ice machines as a group aren't very quiet, at least the real ones that make clear ice that doesn't bunch together and requires a drain, as opposed to those that are glorified refrigerator icemakers in a separate appliance and make cloudy-white ice crescents.
Here is a link that might be useful: ice machine thread
