March 25, 2014
Bought this as a replacement. New one is lower quality with longer sleeves and body. But loved original so much will deal with it.
March 14, 2013
Absolutely love the Perfect Tee. I have three now, in different colors. They are a great staple item for my wardrobe.
February 26, 2013
A perfect tee
I like the stretch material. Washes well. I just hang it up to dry. It fits well. That is why I like to purchase from the Limited because their sizing is consistant and I don't have to try it on. Lasts forever! Good price.
February 26, 2013
Soft and Comfy
I have a few different colors of this basic tee. The fabric is very soft and the fit is comfy. I was happy to see TL make a basic tee that was cotton (with a little spandex) instead of polyester or rayon. So far, I haven't had any problems with pilling like I see on cheaper priced tees.
February 20, 2013
Great Tee
Love this tee. True to size. I'm 5'3" and 130lbs and ordered a medium. Fits perfect!
February 13, 2013
Love this item
Loved this tee so much that I bought it in four different colors. Comfortable, fits great, and like that it is longer than most tees!
February 1, 2013
The Perfect Tee IS Perfect!
I love this tee shirt! It fits well and has just enough stretch to it to move well with your body. It washes up nicely without much, if any "pilling". I wear it as a layering piece, but it stands alone just fine too.
At this price, I have all the colors and stripes and four of the white ones. This tee is the best!

I did an interesting experiment tonight. I placed two basically identical bricks into the oven while waiting for the temp to drop for new york pies. One was placed directly on the hearth and the other on top of perlcrrete. After about 15 minutes I pulled them from the oven and allowed the temperature to even out for a few minutes. The brick that was directly on the hearth measured just under 400F. The brick that was on the perlcrete, and therefore only receiving radiant heat, was 181F. This doesn't rule out the effect radiant heat may play, but I think it does show that conduction is a major player in transferring heat from the fire to the hearth.
I don't disagree in principal Jeff. My question is will enough heat move by that mechanism to matter? I can put a blowtorch on one end of a fire brick and hold my hand on the other for quite a while.
Now that I've hopefully somewhat explained my thought process I better get off the computer and on the phone to the Journal of Pizza and tell them to stop the presses pending further peer review, lol.

Pat Gillick |
Pat Gillick, who was instrumental in building the organization from an expansion team in 1977 to World Series Champions in 1992 and 1993, was the sixth man to be honoured by the Toronto Blue Jays to the Level of Excellence. Gillick began his exceptional career with the Blue Jays in 1976 as the Vice President of Player Personnel. Through his work during the early years with the organization, he developed what many referred to as the "blueprint for developing an expansion franchise." Gillick was responsible for the development of players like Dave Stieb, Jesse Barfield and Jimmy Key through the draft and utilized the Major League Rule 5 draft to secure talents such as Willie Upshaw, George Bell, Jim Gott and Kelly Gruber. Gillick was also known for completing shrewd trades to acquire the likes of Alfredo Griffin, Damaso Garcia and Fred McGriff and assembling talent like Tom Henke, Joe Carter, Roberto Alomar, Devon White, Dave Winfield, Jack Morris and Paul Molitor. During his tenure, the Blue Jays produced 11 consecutive winning seasons from 1983 to 1993 and in that span, the Toronto Blue Jays brought five American League East Division titles to Toronto, two American League Championships and World Series victories in 1992 and 1993. |
Tom Cheek |
Tom Cheek passed away on October 9, 2005 after a lengthy and brave battle with brain cancer. Cheek stood as the radio voice of the Blue Jays and, as one fan wrote, the "soundtrack of summer in Toronto" since the Club's inception through 2004. He broadcast 4,306 consecutive regular season games (and an additional 41 postseason contests) from 1977 through the midway point of the 2004 season when he was called away from the booth first by the sudden and ultimately passing of his father and later by his own personal health problems. The banner in the Level of Excellence bearing his name, first unveiled in formal ceremonies held on August 29, 2004, is adorned with the number 4, 306. That pays tribute to his longevity as the iron-man of baseball broadcasting. A veteran of the radio industry, Cheek first joined the Blue Jays prior to the Club's inaugural season after spending three seasons working on Montreal Expos broadcasts. He's been calling the balls, strikes and home runs ever since, starting with Doug Ault's big blasts on Opening Day in 1977. His call of Joe Carter's dramatic home run to win the 1993 World Series –"Touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"–stands as one of the most memorable and famous moments in Canadian sports broadcasting history. In 2004, Cheek was included among the ten finalists for the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award, recognizing broadcasting excellence. He was one of three finalists voted on to the ballot through online voting by fans conducted by the Cooperstown-based museum. In 2012, Cheek won this prestigious award. |

Roberto Alomar was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on January 5, 2011 - first player in franchise history to achieve that honour. On July 24, 2011 was inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown along with the person who brought him over to Toronto from San Diego back in 1990, former Blue Jays GM Pat Gillick & RHP Bert Blylevin.

Played five seasons in Toronto from 1990-1995, batted .307 with 55 HR, 342 RBI & 206 SB.

Appeared in 29 post-season games with the Blue Jays & batted .373 (44-118) with 18 runs, nine XBH, 18 RBI & 18 SB. Among the all-time Blue Jays second basemen ranks 1st in runs (447), 3B (35), RBI (338), AVG (.308), XBH (241) & SB (206). In 17 major league seasons with San Diego, Toronto, Baltimore, Cleveland, New York Mets, Chicago White Sox & Arizona, batted .300 with 2724 hits, 210 HR, 1134 RBI & 474 SB. In 58 post season contests, batted .313 with four HR and 33 RBI. |

He became Vice-President of Business Operations in 1977, Executive Vice-President, Business in 1984, President and Chief Operating Officer in 1989 & Chief Executive Officer in 1991.

Fairly or unfairly, the public's perception of science seems to include a series of less-than-flattering words that begin with "S": stodgy, stuffy and serious. But it doesn't have to be that way; science also can be silly.
Brian Malow would wholeheartedly agree with that assessment; in fact, he believes in science's humor potential so much that he's made an unusual career out of it, performing across the country as a "science comedian" for the past decade.
Whether he's giving quick one-liners like "I just started reading 'The Origin of Species;' don't tell me how it ends!" or longer musings about how the constant weight fluctuations between his parents— whenever his mom lost weight, his dad gained weight— was a prime example of the first law of thermodynamics, Malow seamlessly intersperses scientific terminology into jokes about everyday topics, like parents and relationships, that are the staples of comedic routines.
And that little extra science kick, which has given Malow the kind of distinctive niche that every comedian seeks, might be a valuable tool in making the average person more knowledgeable about science.
"After listening to some of my new material, a friend once told me, 'Your jokes contain more information than other comedian's jokes,'" Malow says. This inspired him to begin adding more educational content to his routines – wrapping education in a bit of laughter is a great way to teach people without them knowing it.
At the very least, Malow hopes to inspire more enthusiasm about science during his routines, which have run the gamut from intimate shows at places like Washington, D.C.'s Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academies to a nationally televised appearance on the "Late Late Show" with Craig Ferguson.
Although Malow has no professional scientific background, he embraced science early on. Growing up, he loved reading both science fiction and nonfiction, and he was especially influenced by authors like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, who could write both types of material with equal skill.
How about a follow-up with some of his jokes?

Zero Frizz Extra Strength Hair Serum
Nadirah E.SingaporwHairBlackDry HairCurly HairCannot Go Out Without This ProductI love it so must it make my hair look nice. N it really works up. It make my hair really really straight like i just came out from the salon.posted Dec 12, 2012Link to this post
CelesteLos ángelesPass This One ByIt's very low priced. Lots of product. But it doesn't make the hair smooth or soft. Its way heavy and looks greasy. There are so many other hair serums that are fab and smell great. This one smells weird.posted May 18, 2012Link to this post
KristinaDelawareHairBlondeNormal HairThick or Coarse HairThis Is Pretty Darn AwesomeThe first time I used it Ip ut it through my hair and let it air dry up in a bun. Usually when I let my hair air dry (in a bun) with nothing in it, I can see my hair poofing up on the front/"crown" area. This serum really made a noticeable difference in that. but what I REALLY LOVE about it and really use it for is flat ironing. So, I put some in when my hair's wet, let it air dry, then flat iron my hair. This stuff makes it SO smooth and shiny. Like, a satin pillowcase. It's just really really soft and I love using it before I flat iron my hair. It's awesome in that case. [:posted Dec 10, 2011Link to this post

RedBuy It While You Still CanI have been hooked on this product for about 2 or 3 years now. It works great for my hair type: coarse, curly hair. It leaves me shiny and never greasy. The only place I used to buy it at was Wal-Mart and it was the only reason I'd ever go. Now I can't find it anywhere. I've been stocking up whenever I'm lucky enough to run across it. I'm starting to have anxiety attacks that I'll have to find another product. What's a girl to do.posted Jun 16, 2010Link to this post
DonnaI'm Sold!I've used many different frizz control products and this is the best for my hair. I have to apply it to my hair several time and smooth it out while I blow dry and then flat iron but my hair stays smooth even after I sleep on it. Sometimes it looks a little oily, if I apply too much but it's better than frizz.posted May 11, 2010Link to this post
JeanieWheelersburg, OH, USAWorst Product I Ever Used!I used the product for around 2 months. Did wonders for my hair. I thought, until my hair broke off.

Hi guys,
Just came back from the hardware store and I stopped by by the paint section. I've used acrylic paint to paint my model subs before, and I've never thought about a good combination for Krylon spray paint, hardware store got a whole array of them sitting there on the shelves... . Should I go ahead and use primer for the base coat or just go ahead and slap on some enamel?

Forest clearance of tiger habitat at Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) related logging area. Within the concession, 13 km away, a Sumatran tiger died early in July 2011 after it became caught in an animal trap. The Sumatran tiger's rainforest habitat is being destroyed, forcing it into closer contact with humans and into areas where traps are laid for wild boar. More than one million hectares of rainforests are estimated to be cleared every year. Location: S 00°00'39.0" E 101°56'28.5" 07/09/2011

This doesn't seem that big of a deal. But what does seem to be a big deal is 11.04 is going to use Wayland which Nvidia says they are not interested in making a driver for it. SO I'M supposed to give up gaming and 3d acceleration and just use the open source 2d driver?
No thanks think I will stick with 10.04 as long as possible then give Debian another go.

Numerous reasons are given that why women need to bleach their genitals. Firstly, it is necessary to maintain natural looks of the body by keeping each and every organ functioning properly besides having the actual color.

Testing a specific product in small quantities to ensure that the best results are obtained in an eventual manner will let you come across the ultimate features that you expect on an overall.
There are other reasons given as well highlighting the importance of vaginal bleaching. Firstly, such acts are known to attract men resulting in the participation of regular sex.

Understanding about the process of bleaching in sensitive locations such as genitals will let you realize optimum benefits far exceeding your usual requirements.

Hey California! Fresno called, they want there pre-1996 marijuana laws back.
Only in Fresno, I tell ya! Only in Fresno California could the vast amounts of misinformation be seen as evidence to support the passing of an ordinance that prohibits any and all cultivation of Cannabis. Retroactively handing all cultivation back over to the black market and criminal enterprises. Wait it gets worse! They have also retroactively criminalized the California legal qualified patients themselves through land use and zoning ordinances. Yup that's right! What the people of California made Legal, Fresno has made Re-illegal!?. They have even found a way to circumvent the due process of law when it comes to qualified medicinal cannabis cultivators. First they mail them a certified letter threatening to fine you administratively $1000 for every plant on the property. The county's 15 Day Notice tells the grower they have to remove all plants within 15 days, or face extremely stiff administrative penalties. In the only 2 cases on record so far, the abatement was done on the same day the individuals were given their 15 Day Notice to abate. does that sound like due process? Wait? Do you feel these fines and levees against you are unjustifiable and unwarranted? Don worry you can always appeal to the Fresno county board of supervisors and hope they understand that your a legal qualified medical marijuana patient of the state California, and not of Fresno. The Fresno county board of supervisors has implemented such an evasive ordinance that it not only circumvents the true written intent of the (CUA). It circumvents the very constitution of California.
Well it still gets worse unfortunately. No dispensaries or medicinal cannabis store fronts or collectives allowed either. So they have also retroactively returned all access, or purchases to the criminal enterprises and black market. The only viable options left for the legal medicinal cannabis patients are traveling to other progressive cities and counties within California that does not seem to have regressive leadership or governance. Which in turn puts huge financial and travel burdens upon the medicinal cannabis patients. Or the final and last result, simply move away from there delusional ideals of governance that exist in this time warp called Fresno. Welcome to my home town people Where the boards of supervisors and city councils are the deciding factor and regulator of your health, medicine, and well being over the recommendations of a licensed physician. Where local law enforcement continually suggests that the Drug Cartels and criminal enterprises should have 100% control of all Cannabis grown in Fresno so they can better serve and protect you. Does any of this make sense to you? Welcome to the wild, wild west of Fresno folks, where the dumb folk roam, and the skies are all smoggy all day!
The City and County of Fresno has gone far beyond just banning large illegal commercial cannabis grows in there districts and county. (Those where already illegal ) They have thwarted the the intent of the (CUA) compassion use act of 1996. Or as its more commonly known and referred to as, Prop 215. They act as if the law never existed in the first place. Not only trampling on the (CUA)-Prop-215, but the later clarifications of the (MMPA) Medical Marijuana Program Act of 2003. Or as it is more commonly known and referred to as SB-420. Senate Bill-420 was an act of the legislators that helped further clarify and define the guidelines of the (CUA) because Law enforcement in places like FRESNO county were continually arresting qualified legal patients. The actions of these misinformed law enforcement and local governments out right thwarted the intent of the law as written and passed by the voting populous of California.
No legal cultivation allowed at all. No legal indoor cultivation in the privacy of your own home. No legal outdoor cultivation on the privacy of your own property. No legal dispensaries or store fronts in your own city or county. All through the power of land use and zoning? But the Fresno county health department will gladly take the peoples money and there doctors recommendation and supply them with a (MMPA) California State Medical Marijuana Card, with a Fresno county health department logo on it. You can even get your doctors recommendation directly through the Fresno county health dept. Through one of there licensed physicians. So the County of Fresno is not only participating in the (MMPA) SB-420, its profiting from the state medical marijuana card program then turning around and telling those qualified patients to access there medicine anywhere but in Fresno? Oh, and good luck out there, I here, it can be pretty shady. Does this make sense to you? Is it legal? I am not lawyer, but I am pretty sure there is some illegal activity taking place here.
you know that old saying? Ignorance of the law is no excuse? Well have you ever considered applying that phrase on those who continually love to throw it in your face. Well the Sheriffs department, Local police department, and Local governments of Fresno are all guilty of that very thing and are hoping the common voter never discovers that. For if you did, you would find that the only people acting as criminals and tyrannical thugs are the ones wearing the suits, costumes and uniforms of local Law enforcement, City Attorneys, and the elected representatives of Fresno. In my personal opinion it is an outright infringement of not only our California constitutional rights. It is also an outright infringement of our United States constitutional rights. Now bare in mind, I am no lawyer or law professor. and this is no way to be construed as legal advice. But I am pretty sure Banning me from access to my medicine recommended by a licensed physician is infringing on my right to "Life". Banning me from cultivating my medicine on my own personal property,whether indoors or out is infringing on my my right to "Property" and "Life". And both of those actions are inherently infringing on my right to "Happiness". Are you catching on here people ?
Law enforcement never has and never will want to decriminalize anything. Especially Cannabis. That is one of Law enforcement's "bread and butter's" shall we say. More Specifically it is one of Margaret Mimms of the Fresno county Sheriffs departments personal blundered legacies she plans on leaving behind her. It would also appear that the Fresno city chief of police Jerry Dyer seems to be riding her coat tails with exact same nonsense. Margaret Mimms headed up the Marijuana Eradication task force here in Fresno county. Unfortunately her and many other small sheriffs dept statewide have been confusing and arresting qualified legal patients since the passing of prop-215 (CUA). The very Reason SB-420 (MMPA) was drafted and passed in 2003. To further clarify prop-215 (CUA). Either they where confused or ignorant of the law, or they simply didn't give two flying farts to the wind either which way. That would put to many good officers on the unemployment line. As if to say needing less police is a bad thing? or focusing those officers attention to more pressing criminal matters is a bad thing. Therefore when they don't like laws passed by the legislators, or governing bodies they simply ignore them as if they never existed to begin with. Hence the ignorance that billows about the room at these very council and supervisor meetings in regards to the actual law as written. 95% percent of the time the elected representatives only repeat and spew out what is interpreted and handed to them by Law enforcement. Never the actual law as written and defined. that is a serious problem folks. How the (CUA) was written is not the true problem at play here.
Have any of you ever read the California constitution? Did you know unlike most of the states in the union, here in California the people have the unique ability to pass there own laws through the statewide voter initiative process. Well that is exactly what happened with prop-215 (CUA). it was not law enforcement or the legislators that authored and circulated prop-215. It was the grassroots activists and citizens of California that wrote, circulated, and passed prop-215 (CUA). Did you know that not even the highest California legislators in the land can change the laws passed by the voter initiative process? The only way to to change voter initiatives is by another voter proposed initiative. The California constitution states, "what the voters have done, the Legislature cannot undo." Interesting!? Well if you can not undo it? what do you do if you don't like it? pretend it does not apply? Or simply imply it was so vaguely written as to allow certain localities to opt out or not participate in way shape or form? NO, it does not work that way. But is that not essentially what Fresno is trying to accomplish here with the passing of this unlawful ordinance? If the Legislator Cannot undo what the voters have done? Neither can the city and county of Fresno right? No matter how much they hate it. No matter how vague there interpretation. The legalese, wording and actual intent remain the same and can only be changed by the voters. are you starting to truly understand the malicious hatred and fury this ignites in law enforcement and the governing bodies its controls? This is truly of, for, and by the people governing. something they have no control over. And regardless of Prop-215 and SB-420's flaws, We the people should, and shall defend it with dignity and due diligence. regardless of whether or not you like or dislike Cannabis. This not just a game of politics anymore. If the only law Fresno answers to is the laws written of, by and for Fresno? are they circumventing state laws themselves ?
I would now like to raise some very concerning questions and points of notice in regards to this intrusive unconstitutional ordinance being forced down the unwilling peoples of Fresno's throats. Question #1 – Could you possibly conceive that the county board of supervisors, or city council representatives in the city in which you reside where the ultimate dictators and regulators of access to you medicine, health and well being, over the recommendation of a licensed physician? Is this an oligarchy or a democratic republic in which we reside? Question #2- Do you Honestly believe that passing this ordinance will curtail the illegal activity and crime associated with cannabis cultivation? Because the sad truth is, your only insuring that all cannabis cultivation is a criminal act. Including legally qualified medicinal cultivation. Which directly conflicts with the peoples law of California and protections guaranteed by the California constitution.
The plain and simple truth is the only way to insure you lower criminal activity associated with Cannabis is by decriminalizing, legalizing and properly regulating the legal industry which arises. Weather it is strictly a model for only legal qualified medical patients, or a model for outright recreational use for responsible adult consumption. The very reason people steal, kill and commit crimes over or for Cannabis is because of the very laws that prohibit it. And the fact they will fetch a very high price in the illegal black market created by its prohibition. Where the demand never really went away by choice or organic methods. It was forced out by unnecessary and unjustifiable means. If it where Legal, easily accessible and cultivated by everyone in there yards, and sensibly regulated and controlled it would be easily accessible to all. and you wouldn't have Criminals jumping fences and killing people over a natural plant. effectively eliminating the intrinsic criminal enterprises and aspects of the failed models of prohibition. Wake up People of Fresno! we do not have to continually stand by while these regressive leaders of our governing bodies are constantly trying to move the progressive needle backwards. We must stand up and be heard. For they will continue to oppress and and trample on anything and everything they deem a NUISANCE. Remember this point right here! the very reason they hold that much power is because we willingly sent them there to speak for us. Citizens and people of Fresno, Stand up and speak for yourselves!
By: Dustin Frazier Lowery
Fresno County Banning Cannabis Cultivation.
Let me start by saying that I have been to my fair Share of County, and City supervisor meetings. Even a few planning commission hearings as well here in Fresno. The most prominent notion in regards to Medicinal Cannabis that is thrown around is the notion that every single cultivator of Cannabis is a Criminal, or is somehow involved in Criminal activity associated with Cannabis. By either abusing the medicinal cannabis program set in place and not following the guidelines, which they do not seem to want to draft any sensible regulations on behalf of the patients. Nor do they seem to care, quite frankly. Then there is always Margret Mimms and our local supervisors favorite and most popular line of defense, Any and every single plant is illegal at the federal level, therefore we have a zero tolerance policy on the basis of all cannabis cultivation is a federal crime. If I had a $100 bucks every time I heard them say "it's all illegal on the federal level". I would be wealthy man.
Well in no way shape or form should Margret Mimms, or any other California law enforcement officer be enforcing or even suggesting Federal law within the state of California. Let alone a county supervisor. It is the duty of the Sheriff, as well as the district attorney to enforce state laws. The federal Government cannot compel state law enforcement. The Supreme Court has even stated that Congress cannot require state officers to enforce federal law. The court said that " the constitution contemplates that a states government will represent and remain accountable to its own citizens." So when are they going to be held accountable for suggesting we enforce federal law within our states borders, Over the laws passed by the citizens of California?
Well I hate to be the bearer of Bad news, (Not Really) But, These are exactly that, nonsensical notions with no factual statistics to support them. Do not get me wrong though, there are plenty of illegal grows on state and federal property that need eradicating and proper policing. There are also people within the system that do abuse it. You will find that in just about every system though. And yes those are criminals in which I believe deserve the full brunt of law enforcement. What I do not understand is why local law enforcement and county supervisors seem to conveniently confuse, or purposely bunch criminals and qualified patients together. Coincidence? Two birds, one stone. It's pretty convenient on behalf of the supervisors. They just allow Law enforcement to do what they do best. Policing. And it allows our county and city supervisors to never have to tackle the tough job of working on sensible regulations that are desperately needed for the Fresno citizens that are LEGAL California Prop-215 and SB-420 medicinal marijuana patients. It's a win, win, for everybody but the patients of course.
The worst part of it is. That the very criminals you are trying to prevent are the very same people set to make larger profits from the criminal black market, effectively increasing crime. Because you successfully eradicated the patient's ability to either purchase from a licensed facility, known as a collective or a dispensary. And through this outdoor cultivation ban you are once again going to completely diminish the LEGAL California Prop-215 and SB-420 medicinal marijuana patients ability to produce quality outdoor medicine for themselves on their own property. Prop-215 Patients ability to cultivate their own plants outdoors is crucial to not only greater access, cheaper medicine, better quality, but increased safety as well.
Forcing patients to only cultivate indoors is far too expensive for the average patients who are usually on fixed incomes. Most are on disability and cannot cultivate for themselves. Hence the need for Collective grow sites that require larger numbers of plants for those who are disabled and cannot produce their own medicine by their own means or on their own property. We are not just talking about putting a few light bulbs above a few plants in the bath tub. To equal what can be produced outdoors, patients would have to spend upwards of 5000 to 10,000 dollars to produce a room that is up to code and efficient enough to produce what can easily be done by Mother Nature. Not to mention the high amounts of energy consumption that must also be paid annually for each harvest. Along with things like, soil, nutrients, pots, and so many other hidden costs that simply make it ineffective to ban outdoor cultivation. If we want to stay true to the requirements of the compassionate use act, Banning outdoor cultivation is not an effective method of creating greater access for qualified patients. However it is an effective method of avoiding the tough questions and hard work of coming up with sensible regulations for patients, and law enforcement to abide by. Thus making it easier to identify the criminals.
So what? We are all just simply criminals now, and should all be treated as such? That is not very compassionate. I think it is important to note the actual name of Prop-215, the Compassionate use act of 1996. That is why I am writing this today. That is why I am going to read this very post before the Fresno county board of supervisors today. Compassion! I do it for the patients who can't raise their voices in opposition here today. I do it for the patients that I have personally witnessed amazing life altering changes thanks to cannabis. I am here because I take great pride and solace in seeing the Joy cannabis brings to those who are bright enough to look past the lies and see the truth for themselves. And that is what I ask all of you here today to please consider today, Have some compassion and some consideration for those that you are so blindly throwing out along with the bath water.
You don't have to smoke to get medicated.
One of the most common misconceptions about medicinal cannabis is that everyone is just smoking and calling it medicine. Though we do have medical trials that prove even smoked cannabis has medicinal values. There are people out there who truly need medicinal Cannabis. But because of other health problems are not able to smoke. So today we are going to cover some of the many ways you can ingest and utilize Cannabis without smoking.
( Great Educational video on the endocannabinoid system )
( Edible's ) – Cannabis infused confections
Infusing Cannabis into your food is one of the safest ways to ingest medicinal cannabis. Though a warning must be issued ! If this is your first experience with Edibles lets take it one step at a time. First time edible users have never used their CB 1 receptors in their digestive system before in regards to cannabis. So it can be a little scary for first time edible users. Just remember, NOBODY HAS EVER DIED FROM CANNABIS, EVER ! You will be OK after your slumber, I promise !
Most first time edible users tend to eat the entire edible in one sitting. I always recommend to patients who are interested in trying edibles to just take a few bites and wait about 30 minutes to an hour. Then you can judge for yourself what your tolerance level is at and can adjust accordingly. In a self-regulated Industry like the Medicinal cannabis industry. It is hard to find exact dosages of THC, CBD, CBN on a lot of products out there today. Though I would have to say there has been a large push in the last 3 years for better, Testing, Labeling and dosages.
( Tinctures ) – Cannabis infused Glycerin's and Alcohols
( information below provided by http://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/ ) <—- Click the link for recipes
Tinctures are not new. Until cannabis was banned in 1937, tinctures were the primary type of cannabis medicines. Tinctures are essentially alcohol extractions of whole cannabis (usually the flowers and trim leaves). Tinctures are easy to make and very inexpensive. Tinctures contain all 80 of the essential cannabinoids instead of only one with Marinol. Some of the cannabinoids such as cannibidiol (CBD) actually reduce the psychoactive effects of THC while increasing the overall efficacy of the preparation.
The best way to use tinctures is sublingually (under the tongue). Titration or dose control is easily achieved by the number of drops a patient places under the tongue where the medicine is rapidly absorbed into the arterial system and is quickly transported to the brain and body. All a patient need do with tincture is use a few drops, wait for the desired medical effects, and either use more or stop as the situation indicates. Tinctures can be flavored for better taste. They are best stored in dark bottles in the refrigerator. Since tinctures average some 75% ethanol there is little worry of bacterial or other biological contamination. Those who wish to avoid alcohol can instead use their tincture as a base for making a concentrated elixir (recipe)." (from Smokeless Medicine)
( Vaporizing ) – Vaporize the Compounds without burning the plant matter.
( information below provided by http://www.theweedblog.com/ )
( Special thanks to Johnny Green )
Vaporizing is a common technique for consuming marijuana, while at the same time negating many irritating respiratory toxins that exists within the grown marijuana flower and are released when smoked. Conversely, vaporizing allows one to get at all of the psychoactive ingredients available within that specific strain of marijuana , minus the combustion that ordinarily takes place during consumption.
The basic design of the average marijuana vaporizer is to allow marijuana smokers to inhale the many active Cannabinoids, while at the same time avoiding any of the harmful elements that may exist on that specific flower… although invisible to the naked eye.
While most don't know it … There is a vast difference in the quality of smoke that one receives when they vaporize versus igniting their plant matter. When one smokes a joint, or hits their bong approximately 88% of the combusted smoke gases contain non-cannabinoid elements, most of which do not get you high and provide potential health risks.
Conversely when one uses a marijuana vaporizer the smoke/gases that they are inhaling consists of approximately 95% cannabinoids, otherwise known as the psychoactive ingredients that both calm the mind and soothe the body.
Those are three different methods that are all safer ways of ingesting your medicinal cannabis instead of the usual smoking. I hope that this post helps all of those in need, and a special thanks to http://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/ and http://www.theweedblog.com/ for the amazing info which I was able to share.

June's smokin' – this time from a controlled burn – as reported by Ed Cote of the Inyo National Forest. The burn will take place starting Tuesday, November 30, one mile north of the south junction of California S.R. 158 (the June Lake Loop) and U.S. 395. Workers are clearing out brush piles before they disappear beneath the snow for another season.
Long-time Mammoth Hospital board of directors member, Don Sage, served his last day Tuesday as a member of the board, after he announced Nov. 18 that he would resign from the board effective Dec. 1.
That leaves one vacancy open on the five-member board of directors for the Southern Mono Healthcare District.
The 30-year-old man who died near the Bluffs area last week when his vehicle went over an embankment died from "major head injuries sustained at the time of the accident," after being partially ejected from his truck, according to the Mono County Coroner's office today.
Kevin Scott Green was visiting Mammoth at the time of the accident on Nov. 23. His home is in Summerland.
It is situated smack dab in the middle of the Mountain.
It is one of the loveliest corduroy runs on the ski hill.
But "Coyote" also is one of the confoundest runs to reach, owing to its obscurity in terms of accessibility.
First, the run: It is a blue black-diamond trail, starting adjacent to McCoy Station at mid-mountain and spilling into the mish-mash of traffic near the bottom of Chair 5. Intermediates should have no problem here, once on the run.
It was the fireball above the dark highway that first caught John Williamson's eye that hot summer night of Aug. 9. A veteran Bishop Fire Department volunteer, he was off duty, headed from his girlfriend Amy Steinwand's home in Big Pine to his home in Bishop.
He stared in horror at the seething red mass and turned to Steinwand, who was driving. "Go," he said. "Go, go, go."
They shot up the highway, flying past cars and trucks, headed toward the inferno.
In the lap of constantly moving tectonic plates, amid volcanic, pine strewn mountains, Mammoth is a singular place.
Its people match the granite that rises high above the town. Strong, generally selfless souls who think nothing of moving mountains to help someone who has been injured, has an illness or has lost their home.
Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra are peopled by individuals with outsized hearts.
Look at the Search and Rescue team: Its members will drop whatever they're doing to head out into difficult terrain in all kinds of weather to rescue those who are lost or injured.
By Joe Parrino
Town Council is considering how to manage the spending of Measure R and Measure U funds, appointing committee members to help with the issue and considering some very high-end, and worthwhile, projects. All in the name of addressing the needs of ALL recreation opportunities in Mammoth for residents and visitors, and to create a sustainable economy year round. The projects under consideration all require enormous capital outlay, and one recreational opportunity missing from the discussions is to open up the existing Motocross track for public recreational riding.
By Kim Stravers
It was short, this summer – a tease. Skiing in shirtsleeves through June and early July, we sunned ourselves on ridges, looking wistfully at the meadows and mountains beyond and wondering how long it would be before they'd grow wildflowers instead of rotten corn. It was August before the high country melted out enough for most of us to explore it in hiking boots and running shoes, and the aspens went gold within a few short weeks. Then, by November: winter.
In an incident that easily could have turned tragic, a 47-year-old Bishop man spent Saturday night alone and without a sleeping bag, in a steep ravine below White Mountain, after two hiking companions abandoned him there.
The hiking companions then continued their hike up to the old, restored cabins at the Champion Sparkplug Mine, where they spent the night – with sleeping bags and under a roof.
Bishop resident Patrick Toon was hiking in on the trail to the mine Saturday when he became separated from his group, according to Mono County Sheriff's Deputy Pete De George.
Welcome. Everything's open.
For the first Thanksgiving weekend since 2004, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area is open from Eagle Express and Cloud Nine Express, all the way over to Outpost 14.
"This," said ski area spokesman Dan Hansen, "is huge for us."
"It's been an amazing early-season snowfall. Mother Nature has been very good to us."
The Mammoth Lakes Police Department is investigating the circumstances of a single vehicle, roll-over traffic collision resulting in the death of a 30-year-old resident of Summerland, Calif.
On Tuesday, November 23, the police were notified of a vehicle that was off the roadway in the vicinity of Le Verne and Fir Streets in the Bluffs area of Mammoth Lakes. Officers located a Toyota Tacoma on its side approximately 100 feet down an embankment.
Law enforcement officials confirmed a fatality in Mammoth Tuesday, but did not release any other information, pending notification of kin and an on-going investigation.
Updates will be posted as soon as they are available.
The fatality was storm related, other sources said.
The storms of this past weekend came with some drama, when a Bishop man in his forties had to be rescued from a ravine where he had been injured during a fall, below the Campion Sparkplug Mine/ Jeffrey Canyon area in the White Mountains Sunday.
According to a Mono County Search and Rescue Team member, who wished to remain anonymous, the rescue took nine hours due to the steep and snow-slippery and terrain. A break in the weather did cooperate with the rescuers, however, and the man was eventually transported to Northern Inyo Hospital will non-life-threatening injuries.
The snowplows plowed. The tow trucks towed. Police investigators investigated. The skiers skied, the snowboarders rode, the sledders sledded, the snowshoers showeshoed and it was a perfect day.
Last Sunday, it was good to hear the familiar voice of Doug Howell and his snow removal team from Mammoth Firewood come crackling across the scanner. It was like an old shoe.
"Careful coming around that bend, it's a blind corner."
"There's a car parked in the middle of the road!"
"Just about got Canyon cleaned up. Headed to Lakeview."
Winning games helps.
Going to the playoffs is fun and exciting for everyone, from the players and coaches to the supporters of the team and the fans in the stands.
But this year's Mammoth High School football team was bigger than that just for having taken the field.
After a lost season in which Mammoth had no team at all, the Huskies returned under the wing of their resolute coach, Tom Gault and his industrial-strength assistant coach Marty Thompson – a former Fresno State and Detroit Lions tight end.

I am a 26 years old with autism and many attention-seeking behaviors. What causes them? I am verbal.
Today's "Got Questions?" answer comes from Autism Speaks Chief Science Officer Geri Dawson, PhD
Thanks so much for your question. There are many reasons why a person with autism would engage in many attention seeking behaviors. Perhaps you would like to socially interact and make friends with others, but aren't quite sure the best way to do this. If you are being ignored by others, this might lead you to repeat your attempts to interact again and again.
If you are engaging in a behavior that is ritualized (exactly the same each time) and repetitive, it might reflect a general tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors, which is a symptom of autism. With appropriate guidance, you can learn more appropriate ways of seeking attention and this will help you develop more satisfying relationships with others. Seeking the help of a psychologist or behavior analyst may be particularly beneficial.
For more information and resources, you can follow these links to our pages on Applied Behavioral Analysis, Adults with Autism and Adult Services.
Got more questions? Send them to email@example.com, and join Dr. Dawson for her next "Office Hours" webchat with co-host, Joe Horrigan, MD, Autism Speaks assistant vice president and head of medical research (first Thursday of every month at 3 pm Eastern).
January 13, 2012 at 7:12 am
Maybe you haven't found a way to obtain positive attention. We all crave that, and it is very hard to achieve, whether we are autistic or not. Sometimes people are far more likely to put someone down in order to build up themselves, than the other way around.
It is a symptom of being human…and we all have good days and bad days. Who told you it was attention seeking behavior, anyhow? Do you know it yourself?
Don't give up. It's a never ending battle for all of us..

Hi there!!
I have an 6 yr old son w/autism – Pls tell me everything and anything – tell me all – it will help me understand more. I am really heartbroken and frustrated.
January 16, 2012 at 6:49 am
Saya tertarik untuk mengetahui lebih jauh mengenai Autisme, karena salah satu cucu saya mengalami gejala tersebut, dan sampai dengan umur 4 tahun dia belum bisa bicara.

My friend's child may have autism, the first thing that came up to mi mind when I heard eas a thought that they used to live by a gas station. Would that have anything to do with it?
January 18, 2012 at 9:32 am
Hi there,
I have an almost 15 yr old that does not have the label of Autism, but has many subtle characteristics of being on the spectrum. He has received services through the schools as OHI. We call him the mutt, because he has a little bit of everything in him. He is an outgoing, gregarious, loving boy…. yet…one area we really struggle w/ 'his reality' vs. reality. He will not take responsibility for his actions or words. Always blames some one or something else. WE (my husband and I) struggle w/ if and or how much are we to try and 'correct'/explain that what he is saying/thinking is not true/reality and what we just let go of. I hope this makes sense. Help! :-\

A monk asked Nansen: "Is there a teaching no master ever preached before?"Nansen said: "Yes there is." "What is it?" asked the monk.Nansen replied: "It is not mind, it is not Buddha, it is not things."
The "teachings" of the awakened ones are not teachings at all because they cannot be taught - so how to call them teachings? A teaching is that which can be taught. But nobody can teach you the truth. It is impossible. You can learn it, but it cannot be taught. It has to be learned. You can absorb it, you can imbibe it, you can live with a master and allow it to happen but it cannot be taught. It is a very indirect process.
Teaching is direct: something is said. Learning is indirect: something is indicated, not said - rather, something is shown. A finger is raised towards the sun, but the finger is not the point; you have to leave the finger and look at the sun, or at the moon. A master teaches but the teaching is just like the finger: you have to leave it and look where it indicates - the dimension, the direction, the beyond.
A teacher teaches, a master lives - you can learn from his life, the way he moves, the way he looks at you, the way he touches you, the way he is. You can imbibe it, you can allow it to happen, you can remain available, you can remain open and vulnerable. There is no way to say it directly, that's why those who are very intellectual miss it - because they know only one way of learning and that is direct. They ask, What is truth? - and they expect an answer.
This is what happened when Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?" and Jesus remained silent - not even a flicker, as if the question had not been asked, as if there was no Pontius Pilate standing before him and asking. Jesus remained the same as he was before the question was raised, nothing changed. Pontius Pilate must have thought this man a little mad, because he had asked a direct question: "What is truth?" and this man remained silent as if he had not heard.
Pontius Pilate was a viceroy, a well-educated, cultured, cultivated man; Jesus was a son of a carpenter, uneducated, uncultivated. It was as if two poles were meeting, two opposite poles. Pontius Pilate knew all philosophy - he had learned it, he knew all the scriptures. This man Jesus was absolutely uneducated, in fact he knew nothing - or, he knew only nothing. Standing before Pontius Pilate, totally silent, he replied - but the reply was indirect: he raised a finger. That total silence was the finger raised towards truth. But Pontius Pilate missed. He thought, This man is crazy. Either he is deaf, cannot hear, or he does not know, is ignorant - that's why he is silent. But silence can be a finger raised towards truth - that is incomprehensible to the intellectual Pontius Pilate.

- 2014 ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Exhibition
- Article Written by : Kimchann CHON (Cambodia) Intern, Information and Data Unit of ASEAN-Korea Centre The '2014 ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Exhibition', an exhibition introducing the diverse cultures and elements of the everyday life in ASEAN, is being held from 9-18 January 2015 at the Gallery Moon of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The pieces being displayed are winning artworks of the '2014 ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Competition' which was organized by the ASEAN-Korea Centre in May 2014. The Competition was participated by many young students and artists from the ASEAN Member States and Korea, and received over 500 entries. On 8th January, the Opening Ceremony of the Exhibition was held at Gallery Moon of DDP. The 11 winners (10 from ASEAN and 1 from Korea) of the '2014 ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Competition' were invited to attend and have the chance to present their winning artworks. Various personnel attended the Opening Ceremony, including the ASEAN diplomatic corps, prominent figures from culture and art fields, and students as well. ▲ Ms Samnagvathana Sor, the winning artist from Cambodia and H.E. Chung Hae-moon, Secretary General of the ASEAN-Korea Centre The winning artist from Cambodia, Ms Samnagvathana Sor, when asked about the reason for participating in the event, explained "I decided to participate because I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to show my artworks as well as my ability. Also, I could promote the culture of my country, Cambodia, within the theme of 'Lifestyle of ASEAN'. For my artwork, even though my photos were taken at a market in the city, it reflects the common life of the whole Cambodian people from both the city and country side". Ms. Sor also added "This is a valuable experience as I got to meet the winners, all from different countries to exchange ideas and techniques, and also learn about Korean art and culture as well. I believe the ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Competition is a very good opportunity for youths who want to present their artworks and learn more about multimedia." Prior to the Opening Ceremony on the 8th, a discussion session for the 11 winnerswere held at the ASEAN-Korea Centre to deepen mutual understanding about one another's culture. Some ASEAN students residing in Korea joined the 11 winners to talk about the cultural differences among Korea and ASEAN countries. For instance, in Korea, drinking alcohol together can be considered as a way to get to know to each other and show respect, especially to elders, while it is considered to be impolite in some ASEAN countries, such as Cambodia, and completely forbidden in Brunei Darussalam. "Throughout the discussion session, I have learned and understood a lot about Korean and ASEAN culture, tradition, and lifestyle such as the way of greeting, living and thinking." said Ms. Hoang Thi Huong Quynh, a Vietnamese student from Daejeon University. What is more, the '2014 ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Exhibition' is not only a place to show and see the different aspects of the artworks and increase mutual understanding between one another through multimedia in each country. It is also a platform to make friends and network among Korean and ASEAN youth leaders for future solidity and prosperous relations with each other. Furthermore, this is a message to all youth to keep trying hard to reach their goals and dreams, and learn to live together in the beauty of diversity with dignity and harmony.

- 2014 Youth Network Program
- The ASEAN-Korea Centre hosted the '2014 ASEAN-Korea Youth Network' from July 24 to 26, as part of their efforts to further enhance cooperation between ASEAN and Korea. The participants were composed of 70 students from ASEAN and Korean universities residing in Korea. The program was part of the project『ASEAN-Korea Youth Network』that the centre held; it provided the participants with chances to build close relationships with one other. On the first day, participants gathered at the Olympic Partktel Seoul where they engaged in activities for three days. We exchanged greetings with each other and comfortably talked about ourselves, even though we had met for the first time. First, we listened to the Center's Secretary General Hae Moon Chung and took a group picture. Then we got into ice-breaking activities such as 'human bingo', 'human knot' and 'building the highest Tower' game with spaghetti noodles and marshmallows. We came to strengthen our personal ties and teamwork in the process of solving problems together. 'Human Bingo' is a game that one has to put a name of a friend who fits the characteristic written in the box. This was an opportunity to talk with friends from other teams even though it was very short. It was a shame that we had such a limited time to talk with friends from other teams. In the case of team 1 that I belonged to, we built a solid tower in a pentagon shape. We had gotten the idea from a friend who majors in architecture. So we came in second place in 'building the highest tower' game. And as a group we drew posters on the theme of water. As the theme 'water' was so vast, teammates were confused when they first heard about the theme they were to portray. But all teammates agreed that a theme to 'save water' would be the most appropriate. All the team members endeavored to convey that message effectively. After designing the poster, teammates passionately drew, cut and pasted newspaper and magazines on the poster. All eight teams tried hard to convey the message of 'save water' effectively. Among them, team 4 got first place as they were very persuasive with subtle expressions. After drawing the posters, we had a nice dinner at a buffet at Parktel, a hotel where we stayed for three days. We were happy to have delicious meals while joyfully talking to friends! We had a UCC video-making activity on the subject of water. First we discussed what kind of video each team would make. There were music videos, future news, public education campaigns and commercial advertisements of the future product, all of which required creativity. Each team had an in-depth discussion on how they would persuade the importance of saving water in an effective way in the same manner as when they drew the posters. Students belonging to film making teams carried out their project in a very lively and cheerful manner. It was somehow difficult to come up with ideas on each scene, to iron out different opinions and toward preparing for shooting equipment and editing. But we enjoyed and laughed a lot in the process of shooting funny scenes. It was such a happy and new experience for ASEAN and Korean students to mingle and do fun things together. Almost all participants were on time to take a lecture on the importance of management of water resources although they stayed until late night for making films. They learned about the value of water resources through statistical figures. After a 10 minute break, another professor gave us a lecture on water management and communicated with students in fluent English. As for the third lecture, we learned about the vulnerability of water management due to climate change. At the end of all three lectures, many students were eager to get an opportunity to ask questions. Students wrote a simple essay, which was an opportunity that allowed them to remind students on the necessity of saving water. For the rest of the time until dinner, all teams were working on their UCCs and after dinner they were super busy editing to meet the deadline, which was 11 pm. Although editing required a lot of effort, we enjoyed the process as it was rewarding as well as entertaining to watch ourselves in the films. After finishing the UCC production, each team had time for entertainment. My team gathered at one of the rooms for chicken and beer and had a pleasant talk. It was a precious time that we could get even closer to each other. The next day, we left for a field trip to the Korea water resources in Chung-ju, in North Chungcheong Province, early in the morning. Chung-ju Dam is the second largest multipurpose dam in Korea and it provides 70% of water supply for Seoulites. We got a briefing on this and solved a group quiz at the Water Cultural Centre. We had a tasty Korean meal and toured Lake Chung-ju on a cruise ship. We could soothe our sadness over our impending departure a little bit, by taking many photos together while enjoying the cool breeze. For the last schedule of this workshop, we had a closing ceremony at Olympia Hall at the Olympic Parktel. There was an introduction of the ambassadors of each ASEAN member countries and also a time to appreciate the UCCs. Team 8 won first place! They had made a music video that encouraged us to save water with the lyrics of 'Let It Go', OST of 'Frozen' that they creatively changed and related it to the subject of saving water. All the schedule of the workshop finished with a dinner and a group photo. We were all very exhausted as we had to reduce significant sleeping time to follow the tight schedule. Nevertheless, we were extremely sad to say goodbye that we couldn't leave right after and stayed quite awhile longer to take pictures together amid hopes to meet again. As for the feedback of this Network which was asked in the form of a survey questionnaire during the ending ceremony, over half of the participants said that 2 days and 3 nights was too short and some of them even said that 4 days and 5 nights would have been much better. And there were many posts and comments by participants on SNS such as Facebook and Kakao Talk. This shows that friendship and memories they shared during the workshop was very pleasant and deep. It was very evident that the objectives of this workshop, which was to give ASEAN-Korea students an opportunity to communicate and build mutual understanding, was indeed very successfully achieved.

It will count as only one win, but North Rockland's 14-0 victory at Mamaroneck represents so much more than that.
The Red Raiders had spent the better part of the week disappointed in their 17-14 double-overtime loss on Saturday to John Jay-East Fishkill. Thursday represented a chance to move past the loss and on with their season.
"Our team really came together this week to come away with the win," North Rockland running back Matt Caputo said. "We weren't really together in training camp. This is a big win for all of us, for our self-esteem and all that going forward." ...
