Revolutionary activities
The emancipation was received with bitter disappointment by many peasants as well as by the radical intellectuals. The serfs' view of their relationship to the landowners had been traditionally summed up in the phrase, "We are yours, but the land is ours." Now they were being asked to pay for land that they felt was theirs by right. During the 1860s small revolutionary groups began to appear. The outstanding figure was the socialist writer N.G. Chernyshevsky; the extent of his involvement in revolutionary action remains a subject of controversy, but of his influence on generations of young Russians there can be no doubt. In 1861–62 revolutionary leaflets were distributed in St. Petersburg, ranging from the demand for a constituent assembly to a passionate appeal for insurrection. The Polish uprising of 1863 strengthened the forces of repression. An unsuccessful attempt on the tsar's life in 1866 led to a certain predominance of extreme conservatives among Alexander's advisers. Nevertheless, there were still some valuable reforms to come. In 1870 the main cities of Russia were given elected municipal government (on a very narrow franchise), and in 1874 a series of military reforms was completed by the establishment of universal military service. This was the work of Dmitry Milyutin, the brother of Nikolay and like him a liberal, who was minister of war from 1861 to 1881.
In the 1870s revolutionary activity revived. Its centre was the university youth, who were increasingly influenced by a variety of socialist ideas derived from Europe but adapted to Russian conditions. These young people saw in the peasantry the main potential for revolutionary action. In 1873–74 hundreds of the youth, including women, "went to the people," invading the countryside and seeking to rouse the peasants with their speeches. The peasants did not understand, and the police arrested the young revolutionaries. Some were sentenced to prison, and hundreds were deported to remote provinces or to Siberia. It became clear that no progress could be expected from overt action: conspiratorial action was the only hope. In 1876 a new party was founded that took the title of Zemlya i Volya ("Land and Freedom"). Some of its members favoured assassination of prominent officials in reprisal for the maltreatment of their comrades and also as a means to pressure the government in order to extract Western-type political liberties. Experience also had shown them that, while the peasants were physically too scattered to be an effective force and were in any case too apathetic, the workers in the new industrial cities offered a more promising audience. This faction was opposed by others in the party who deprecated assassination, continued to pay more attention to peasants than to workers, and were indifferent to the attainment of political liberties. In 1879 the party split. The politically minded and terrorist wing took the name Narodnaya Volya ("People's Will") and made its aim the assassination of Alexander II. After several unsuccessful attempts, it achieved its aim on March 1 (March 13, New Style), 1881, when the tsar was fatally wounded by a bomb while driving through the capital. All the main leaders of the group were caught by the police, and five of them were hanged.
Shortly before his death the tsar had been considering reforms that would have introduced a few elected representatives into the apparatus of government. His successor, Alexander III (reigned 1881–94), considered these plans. Under the influence of his former tutor, Konstantin Pobedonostsev, the procurator of the Holy Synod, he decided to reject them and to reaffirm the principle of autocracy without change. In 1882 he appointed Dmitry Tolstoy minister of the interior. Tolstoy and Pobedonostsev were the moving spirits of the deliberately reactionary policies that followed. Education was further restricted, the work of the zemstvos was hampered, and the village communes were brought under closer control in 1889 by the institution of the "land commandant" (zemsky nachalnik)—an official appointed by the Ministry of the Interior, usually a former officer or a local landowner, who interfered in all aspects of peasant affairs. The office of elected justice of the peace was abolished, and the government was authorized to assume emergency powers when public order was said to be in danger. By this time Russian public officials were better paid and educated, and less addicted to crude corruption, than they had been in the reign of Nicholas I, but they retained their arrogant contempt for the public and especially for the poorer classes. The discriminatory laws against Jews and members of dissenting Christian sects remained a source of widespread injustice, hardship, and resentment.
The repressive policies of Dmitry Tolstoy worked for a time. But the economic development of the following decades created new social tensions and brought into existence new social groups, from whom active opposition once more developed. The zemstvos were in growing conflict with the central authorities. Even their efforts at social improvement of a quite nonpolitical type met with obstruction. The Ministry of the Interior, once the centre of Russia's best reformers, now became a stronghold of resistance. In the obscurantist view of its leading officials, only the central government had the right to care for the public welfare, and zemstvo initiatives were undesirable usurpations of power. Better that nothing should be done at all than that it should be done through the wrong channels. This attitude was manifested in 1891, when crop failures led to widespread famine; government obstruction of relief efforts was widely—though often unfairly—blamed for the peasantry's sufferings. The revival of political activity may be dated from this year. It was accelerated by the death of Alexander III in 1894 and the succession of his son Nicholas II (reigned 1894–1917), who commanded less fear or respect but nevertheless at once antagonized the zemstvo liberals by publicly describing their aspirations for reforms as "senseless dreams." In the late 1890s moderate liberalism, aiming at the establishment of a consultative national assembly, was strong among elected zemstvo members, who were largely members of the landowning class. A more radical attitude, combining elements of liberalism and socialism, was to be found in the professional classes of the cities, including many persons employed by the zemstvos as teachers, doctors, engineers, or statisticians. The growth of an industrial working class provided a mass basis for socialist movements, and by the end of the century some interest in politics was beginning to penetrate even to the peasantry, especially in parts of the middle Volga valley.

2 impeach 'tribunals' prelude to mob rule
President Aquino has opened a new arena to barrel his campaign to oust Chief Justice Renato Corona—parallel to and outside of the Senate impeachment tribunal trying the impeachment case against Corona.
The President hijacked the case and shifted its venue to the volatile streets when he spoke at a so-called "town hall" meeting on Thursday at La Consolacion College near Malacañang attended by hundreds of college students.
This came as the latest Palace intervention in the trial now running into its fifth week. In his speech, the President expressed frustration over the lengthy legal procedural debates in the trial that were derailing the prosecution effort.
He said the tight defense scrutiny appeared to be aimed at confusing the public, causing it to lose interest in the televised proceedings.
The President made the speech into a tutorial with the aid of hi-tech PowerPoint devices that were manipulated deftly as in Nintendo, a gadget that Mr. Aquino is reported to be addicted to.
This intervention was disguised as the first in a series of events to mark the 26th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution of Feb. 22-25, 1986.
As a result, there are now two competing venues of the impeachment trial: the first, the constitutionally mandated Senate tribunal following the orderly trial procedures of courts of law; and the other, the tumultuous streets driven by the lynch mob clamoring for the resignation and/or the dismissal of Corona.
Extralegal kibitzer
In the latter venue, the President has now taken the role of prosecutor and judge—an action that has been criticized in legal circles as unwarranted, unfairly throwing the weight of the vast powers of the presidency behind the effort to oust Corona by hook or by crook and to browbeat the Senate tribunal to convict the Chief Justice, let alone skin him alive and even crush his bones.
The presidential intervention took place in defiance and disrespect of the pleas of the presiding officer of the tribunal, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, for restraint by the public, partisan groups and even the media in making comments on the merits of the case which is being adjudicated in order to enable the tribunal to conduct a fair and just trial.
Mr. Aquino appeared to have considered himself above the injunctions of the impeachment trial as he hammered at Corona, making pronouncements on the merits, although he is not a direct litigant accredited to the impeachment court.
After setting up his own parallel and rump court, the President is actually an extralegal kibitzer, interloper and an outsider, the weight of whose opinions and comments is of dubious value.
For instance, the President said:
Corona's failure to fully declare his multimillion-peso bank deposits was "sufficient basis" to remove him from his post. This is a conclusion he made before the defense had been able to present the side of Corona on the evidence submitted by the prosecution.
He wondered why there was still disbelief that Corona had committed an impeachable offense when he declared bank accounts worth only P3.5 million in his 2010 statement of assets, liabilities and net worth despite evidence showing his peso deposits then at P31.5 million. The President merely echoed what the prosecutors alleged in the trial at the Senate tribunal. This is only the side of the prosecutors.
Shielded from civics
Have we not been taught in civics class in school that one has to hear the side of the accused before he can judge and condemn? This is elementary justice.
Maybe the President, who was brought up insulated by the wealth and privilege of Hacienda Luisita, has not been exposed to this civic virtue. No wonder there is still disbelief that Corona has committed an impeachable offense.
This may be a symptom the administration's case against Corona has not been persuasive enough for the public to support it, in which case the Palace has a serious problem in mobilizing people power to protest against a possible acquittal of Corona. That's why Mr. Aquino is taking the battle to the streets.
According to Palace officials, the President has made the presentation to "enlighten the academic sector" on the confusion that the administration blames on the defense panel's tight scrutiny.
These officials said that with this confusion from "too many legal technicalities," the President felt he needed "to simplify the issues for the rest of the people who are watching the trial."
If this is the objective, then the intervention didn't serve the purpose. Mr. Aquino introduced no new evidence that had not been already presented by the prosecution and he echoed only their arguments.
Instead, he made summary pronouncements on the guilt of Corona. This means the President has not aided the prosecution's effort with his interventions.
Leading questions
Mr. Aquino asked his audience: "Would Juan de la Cruz allow himself to be left out of this process? Are we going to allow only a few to decide for all of us?"
Is this not a contemptuous swipe at the impeachment court and senator-judges and their rigorous rules on procedure?
The President then simplistically reduced the trial to the following issue. "The question in this trial is rather simple: Can we still trust Mr. Corona? We can answer that with the truth coming out during the trial."
Whose truth? How can truth be determined by hearing only the side of the accuser? Is this truth based only on the half-truth alleged by the prosecution before Corona has been given his day in court?
In the question-and-answer portion, the President said he would have a hard time implementing reforms in the judiciary should the impeachment court acquit Corona. He said it would be "extremely difficult, if not impossible." What happens next?
Palace officials said the President's speech to the students made clear that the spirit of Edsa was people empowerment and the public to be part of change.
The Palace view is that the lengthy process of trial is making people lose interest in it, and consequently it makes them feel excluded.
If they continue to lose interest, there would be only a few people who would be incited by the administration to rally behind its propaganda campaign to demonize Corona through trial by publicity.
"In essence, the President was asking people to stake a claim," a Palace spokesperson said. "We cannot just be on the sidelines. We should participate in his important event."
No one is safe
The important questions are: Can the administration harness a large people power lynch mob to protest against a decision acquitting Corona? Against whom will the mob be unleashed? Against the Supreme Court? Against the Senate tribunal? Against those who vote to acquit?
Remember that lynch mobs can turn around to devour their own instigators. When the mobs are guided by hate, they can sweep anyone on their path. No one is safe—not even President Aquino.

Ryan Feldman of The Hoops Report wrote:In the past, many of the top draft prospects refused to work out against other players. But times may be changing. Other than Kyrie Irving, Derrick Williams and the international players, every other player is willing to work out against other players this year.
Even Enes Kanter, who previously wasn't going to work out against anyone, is now reportedly working out against Tristan Thompson and Marcus Morris in Cleveland today. This may be an attempt for Kanter to prove he is worthy of consideration for the No. 1 pick and to lock up a spot in the top four.
Kanter also met and worked out with the Toronto Raptors in Chicago on Monday.
Today in Toronto, Kemba Walker and Brandon Knight will go head to head. Knight goes in as the favorite for the Raptors at No. 5, so Walker would need to really outplay Knight to hear his name called at No. 5. That workout will also include Isaiah Thomas.
The Utah Jazz are currently trying to organize a workout on June 15 that could include Walker, Knight and Jimmer Fredette. Walker rescheduled his workout with the Sacramento Kings, originally scheduled for Thursday, for June 13.
Two teams actively trying to trade down are the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers, according to sources. The Cavs have been telling agents they are actively trying to acquire a draft pick in the 10-19 range, which is why certain player with no chance of being picked in the top four are coming to Cleveland for workouts. The No. 1 and No. 4 picks are the Cavs' only first round picks. This would certainly be an option if they believe Derrick Williams and Enes Kanter will both be gone in the top three picks. The Jazz are exploring every option, especially trading down from the No. 3 pick.
The Philadelphia 76ers are keying in on Donatas Motiejunas with the No. 16 pick, according to a source. The Sixers want to add size and post depth, and Motiejunas is a 7-footer that can really score well in the post. The Sixers are also hoping that a guy like Jonas Valanciunas or Tristan Thompson could fall to them. Nikola Vucevic could also be a sleeper for the Sixers' pick. There is a chance that Motiejunas and/or Valanciunas could withdraw from the NBA Draft by the June 13 deadline. If this were to happen, the Sixers could explore trading their pick to move later in the first round or possibly even out of the first round.
According to a source, the Golden State Warriors are keying in on Klay Thompson with the No. 11 pick because consultant Jerry West is very high on Thompson.
The Milwaukee Bucks, who hold the No. 10 pick, are very high on Alec Burks and even recently took him out to dinner when he was in Milwaukee last Friday.
The Washington Wizards will hold an important workout today that includes Kawhi Leonard, Jordan Hamilton and Jordan Williams. Leonard is a serious option for the Wizards at No. 6. From all indications, unless they are able to trade up and get Kanter, the Wizards will be choosing between Leonard and Jan Vesely.
The Indiana Pacers will host Marshon Brooks, Jon Leuer, Klay Thompson, Matt Howard and E'Twaun Moore today. Thompson likely won't be there at No. 15 and Leuer, Howard and Moore aren't options at No. 15. For Brooks, this will be an especially important workout. If he really impresses, he could be an option for the Pacers at No. 15.

It is no secret that U.S. courts are among the most favorable to plaintiffs, especially with regard to damages awards. For this reason, there has been a growing trend of foreign plaintiffs bringing law-suits in the U.S. even where neither the plaintiff(s) nor the incident causing injury has any real connection to the U.S.
This is especially true in the field of aviation, where more and more frequently foreign air disasters are resulting in U.S. litigation despite the lack of any apparent connection to the U.S. The doctrine of forum non conveniens (FNC), through which U.S. courts dismiss actions on the basis of inconvenience where there is a more convenient forum elsewhere, has proven effective in shifting many of these cases to a proper, foreign jurisdiction. In some cases, and especially some jurisdictions (e.g., Cook County, Illinois), however, FNC motions have met with little success. Those of us involved with these cases are fully familiar with the importance of these decisions, as the result of an FNC motion can change the value of a single plaintiff's claim by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars.

Halestorm, Rise Against, Chevelle + More Added to 'Guitar Hero Live'
The latest round of songs to be included on the new Guitar Hero game has been announced.
The latest round of songs to be included on the new Guitar Hero game has been announced.
Horrible news out of Chicago this Memorial Day weekend, as a man died while making his way onto a catwalk at a Chevelle concert at the Aragon Ballroom.
Chevelle and All That Remains lead the latest wave of acts joining the 2015 Loudwire Music Festival.
The Used have added a co-headlining U.S. trek with Chevelle that will begin May 4.
Hundreds of rock and metal fans boarded ShipRocked's Norwegian Pearl to catch this year's Super Bowl.
Members of Chevelle, Kyng, Hellyeah, Theory of a Deadman and many more bands reflect on the 2014 Welcome to Rockville festival in this video recap.
Judging by the early returns, Chevelle should have a big 2014! The band's 'La Gargola' album gave the group their highest debut ever, arriving at No. 3, and the first single, 'Take Out the Gunman,' has raced up the song charts ever since its release earlier this year. With the momentum going strong, the band is looking to capitalize on that and they've just announced more dates for this summer.
Chevelle continue to crank out great hard rock music and the band's seventh studio album, 'La Gargola,' just arrived in stores and online. The group has been receiving positive reviews so far for the heavier sounding effort and they're getting ready to take their show on the road.
You've probably seen all of the Throwback Thursday (TBT) pictures on Facebook. Well, instead of throwing an old picture your way, I thought I would give you a look back at an old interview I did with the band Chevelle back in 2011. So, if you missed it when it originally aired, or just want to hear it again, you can listen to it now.
Chevelle are giving fans yet another reason to be excited about their new album. The next step leading up to the release of the 'La Gargola' album is the band unveiling the artwork and track listing for their new disc.

Up for any outdoor adventure.
The Prana Women's Halle Pant puts up a versatile performance for climbers, hikers, and travelers. It stretches for unimpeded mobility, sheds water to keep you dry, and resists wrinkling for convenient packing. A relaxed fit readies the Halle for uninhibited movements, and articulated knees help you step over boulders with ease. Prana reinforced the knees to keep them strong in chimney climbs, and roll-up legs accommodate warmer days.
- Stretch performance woven fabric
- DWR finish

My favorite prAna pants
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 6"Weight: 124 lbsSize Purchased: 4 reg
These are so flattering as well as comfortable whether I'm on a plane or making camp after hiking all day. They are form fitting without being too tight and are easy to dress up for a day in town too. The only thing I would like to change is to make the cell phone pocket bigger for the newer phones. Mine no longer fits which makes me sad.

Love these pants!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 5"Weight: 150 lbsSize Purchased: 10
These pants are comfortable and versatile. I can wear them in just about any situation. The Scotchguard is an added bonus, as I just about always get something on my pants. Comes right off (even soy sauce!).
Great service from Backcountry.
Almost perfect hiking pant
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
Height: 5' 9"Weight: 145 lbsSize Purchased: 8 TALL
Finally a pant listed as TALL and it is! I love the fabric, a substantial material that moves with you. Front pockets too small to hold much. Little pocket on right leg big enough for chap stick. Wish there was a cargo pocket for cell phone. Nice trim fit and very comfy. My new favorite pants.
Best Hiking Pants EVER
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
Height: 5' 11"Weight: 140 lbsSize Purchased: 4-long
I work for the Forest Service and 8+ hours of hiking a day is normal in the summer for me. These pants are my saviors! I have three pairs and they are the only ones I will wear. I've put these to the test. They are so durable and keep me comfortable in 100 degree weather, the material is just the right thickness. Not only that, but they are actually cute! I'm 140 lbs, 5'11" and the 4-long is perfect. I also have a pair of 6-longs which fit just fine, but stretch out a little by the end of the day so I just tie the waistband drawstring and keep going! They are fitted just the right amount and let me move and hike without feeling restricted.
No complaints here and I will continue to buy these pants.
Great fit, pathetic pockets
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 3"Weight: 104 lbsSize Purchased: Zero
These pants fit like a dream. Fitted enough that they stay up and aren't baggy, but roomy enough for comfortable movement and long johns or leggings underneath. Too long (since they only stocked tall in zeros), but I just cuff them a couple times and they work great. They would have received five stars...if not for the pockets.
These pants are made for grown women who are practical and outdoorsy. Why, then - why oh WHY - would you make these with pockets barely big enough for me to fit a single hand into? They are roomy enough for deep, useful pockets and yet decided not to make them. I am used to this from jeans but expected better from a good pair of hiking pants.
Otherwise, these are comfy and fit great.
Great for working in sun and heat
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 10"Weight: 130 lbsSize Purchased: O Tall
It's hard to find pants for working outside that still look decent, especially for my frame. The length on these is amazing, the size 0T is so long that it touches the ground behind my heel and the cut actually fits my slim body and looks tailored and feminine. The waist is perfect - not so high that you look like your wearing mom pants but not so low that you have to worry about whale tail when you bend over. I've used these a couple of times outside in the Florida heat and they keep you cool and the sun off your skin.
I checked out the buttons when I first got the pants, and like a previous reviewer said they were sewed on poorly. One popped off within 3 hours of wearing. No big deal, I sewed it back on in 5 minutes and reinforced the second button just in case. If the quality of the rest of the pants seemed bad I would've returned, but the rest of the stitching looks good and the pants are so functional they're worth purchasing even if you have to reinforce the buttons.
I'm so excited to have work pants that are actually cute AND practical that I've bought one in each color
Best Cycling Trousers Ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 8"Weight: 133 lbsSize Purchased: 4
I bought these in cargo green, tall, size 4. I'm 5'8" and 133lbs (9.5stone). Perfect fit. Nice and long and they hang well over my running trainers without needing to take them up. I had searched high and low for a pair of trousers that were flexible, had waterproofing and looked feminine for my 13 mile daily commute to work. These are perfect. They fit well and look feminine, and I can wear them anywhere. No problems with them losing their shape at all, and I've had lots of compliments. The alternatives for cycling were grim, either lycra (no thanks!) or badly fitting cycle wear that doesn't follow the feminine shape. I'm in such a panic that Prana may discontinue these that I've bought another pair. I'll probably extend that to the entire colour range just in case! Great work Prana and top service from Back Country.
Doesn't hold up under pressure
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
First off let me say that I have put these pants though the wringer. I am an outdoor education professional and expect a lot out of my gear. I wore these pants pretty much exclusively on a month long trip to el Potrero Chico. However, within a week the leg snaps were not "snapping" and would not hold up the pant leg. The top button on the pants fell off within a couple of weeks - and this is not due to me trying to squeeze into too small pants. Also, at the end of that month, the pants started to lose their shape and became baggy around the butt and the thighs. You know the trick of washing pants to have them regain their shape? Well, that wasn't the case this time around. No amount of washing and drying would perform such a miracle. I have since replaced the top button on the pants and within a couple of weeks it fell off too! Rats! The only reason I bought these pants was because of their long length - I have a 33.5inch inseam so regular pants don't fit. Unfortunately, this isn't my first run-in with quality issues with Prana women's clothing.

The crash occurred at 2:41 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, in the westbound lane of Interstate 20, 0.4 miles east of mile marker 233. This crash is being investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).

THANKSGIVING-I trust you had a wonderful time of food and fellowship with your family yesterday as you celebrated Thanksgiving. Have you ever wondered about the first Thanksgiving? I read that the pilgrims dug seven times more graves than they built huts and yet found time to be thankful. While doing a little research, I came across what is considered to be the first Thanksgiving Proclamation, made by Governor William Bradford. It was made three years after the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth and reads like this:
November is American Diabetes Month, and to acknowledge this Alice Velez from the Diabetic Outreach Program at Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital will be at the health department on Thursday, Nov. 29, from 8:30 a.m. until noon to check blood glucose and answer any questions you may have regarding diabetes. Pamphlets and materials will be available.
First Presbyterian Church in Sweetwater is welcoming a new face to their congregation and the community: their pastor.
Pastor Kary Fry from Bronte comes to the church after almost a year of work from the Pastor Nominating Committee. Making up the committee is chairman Ruthann Campbell, Keith Brock, Jeannette Bryant, Buck Cason and Richard Smola.
"We believe that God has led us together in finding Pastor Fry to receive our call," the committee stated. "She has been interviewed and highly approved by our Presbytery Committee on Ministry."
In Sweetwater, several stores opened early to welcome shoppers to their Black Friday sales on Thursday evening. Wal-Mart had three different times for shoppers to take advantage of their sales, as the first kicked off at 8 p.m. on Thursday, followed by a 10 p.m. sale, as well as on 5 a.m. on Friday.
Another local store offering earlier sales was Bealls, with their first year to offer early savings starting on Thanksgiving night at 8 p.m. On Black Friday, they also opened early at 6 a.m. for door-buster sales and will remain open until 9 p.m.
The Sweetwater Police Department (SPD) received 68 calls for service, issued no citations and made two arrests from Nov. 21-22, 2012.
The SPD received 33, 911 calls.
Calls for service:
• Unattended death — 300 block of Poplar.
• Burglary of a habitation — 1000 block of W. 6th.
• Counterfeiting — Sweetwater.
Arrested by SPD:
• Adam Jacob Aguilar, 17 — Warrants.
• Darrel Mosher, 31 — Warrants/driving while license invalid.

Colorado seeks a pot banking option
A bill up for its first hearing Thursday is prompted by frustration with recent marijuana banking guidance from the Treasury Department. Banks and the pot industry say the guidance is inadequate because it gives financial institutions no confidence that they can serve the marijuana industry without running afoul of federal law.
"This is cracking the whip and really sending a flare up to the feds to make sure that they understand that this is a pressing issue," said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont and sponsor of the bill.
The measure would allow state-licensed marijuana businesses to create a financial co-op, sort of an uninsured credit union. The co-ops would be overseen by Colorado's Division of Financial Services and expressly prohibited from calling themselves "banks" or "credit unions," though they could provide credit and checking and other traditional financial services.
The pot co-ops also would have to comply with the new federal requirements on banking for the marijuana industry, including filing detailed reports to show that sales revenue is not ending up in the hands of criminal organizations.
State lawmakers tried but failed two years ago to set up a state-chartered bank for the marijuana industry. The effort was abandoned as unworkable.
"The banking issue is a huge problem," said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, who sponsored the failed banking plan two years ago. Steadman said the problem has only grown, so he signed on for another effort.
"We want an audit trail. We want to know they're paying their taxes correctly. And when they're operating on a cash-only basis, that's a huge problem," Steadman said.
Banking services have been a top priority for the marijuana lobby for years in Colorado. Earlier this month, marijuana industry workers briefed lawmakers on their continuing headaches operating without a bank. Industry workers told of being scared to walk to their cars at the end of the day carrying large amounts of cash.
"It is very easy to see somebody get killed over this issue," said Michael Elliott, head of the Denver-based Marijuana Industry Group. "It's really just a matter of time before something happens."
Elan Nelson, a business strategist for the Medicine Man dispensary in northeast Denver, told lawmakers the federal guidance has done little to alleviate the problem.
"We're not seeing any change whatsoever," she said. "A lot of my colleagues will call around to the banks periodically to see if anyone is taking their business. And the standard answer is simply, 'No.' Nothing's changed. Nothing's been fixed."
Under the federal guidance, banks must review state license applications for marijuana customers, request information about the business, develop an understanding of the types of products to be sold and monitor publicly available sources for any negative information about the business.
The American Bankers Association has said banks will be comfortable serving marijuana businesses only if federal prohibitions on the drug are changed in law.

Iphone 3GS Ipad baseband
I have an iPhone 3GS, sn 88130... 5.1.1, model MB718LL, new br, I think it is a refurb from apple.
I flashed it to the iPad baseband and now I have no wifi nor Bluetooth. No modem firmware no iccid info.
Tried to downgrade to 05.3.14 but I don't see any change.
While flashing and downgrading I noticed that the phone would be Stuck at the "flashing baseband don't interrupt" screen for a few minutes and from there went straight into rebooting itself even tough the status bar was showing half completion.
The phone boots, stays on for a few minutes and then reboots by itself.
It does it continuously till it runs out of battery.
Have I just bricked my phone? Is there something I can do about it ?
Please help. Thanks
|Jul 8, 2012, 09:50 PM
You ruined the phone.
You cannot install the ipad baseband on that 3GS since its the newer with the fixed baseband. Next time ask and verify before you do something that could potentially render your phone useless.
You fried all the radios in it and there's no way to undo it unless you replace the logic board.
|Jul 9, 2012, 03:49 AM
What he said^
Your 3GS was too new for the iPad baseband - so you've bricked the radio permanently.

I've heard iPhones from xx127 to xx134 and higher have the incompatible baseband ending in EH instead of EE. You just have to flip over the lower shielding if you fall into that range to verify although as you get further and further away from xx134, you're more likely to have it and brick your iPhone. If you have the 5K as the first 2 digits, there's a chance that you have the compatible baseband, but it's still less likely than under xx127.
You'll need to swap the baseband now through a service, which costs anywhere from $50 to $100.

He's Got His Moe-jo Workin'
The word of the day is fun. It's the grand opening of Roger Moe's new campaign headquarters on the second floor of uptown Minneapolis's Calhoun Square, and roughly 40 people, surrounded by yellow-and-orange "Moementum" signs, are awaiting the arrival of the DFL gubernatorial candidate.
"It's so fun to be in Uptown!" gushes deputy communications director Glen Fladeboe. "It's just so much fun!" The move to Calhoun Square is an attempt to engage young voters, Fladeboe explains. "Just think what the young people did for Ventura in '98. It was incredible."
A campaign worker announces that Moe is on his way up to the office. "They'd like some excitement for when he gets here," she implores. Judging from the polite applause that greets the candidate, any comparison to Jesse Ventura's 1998 campaign is a bit of a stretch. And the 57-year-old veteran legislator's outfit--blue button-down Polo shirt, sensible slacks--is decidedly more Old Country Buffet than Chino Latino.
But Moe seems dead set on putting a youthful veneer on his staid reputation. "Just go out on the street," he says. "Take a look at the people, take a look at the entertainment. It's a young, vibrant part of town."
In another youth-courting move, the candidate has been making appearances in a blue stock car emblazoned with the names of various Minnesota towns. "If you're gonna be in about 50 parades in the summer, you'd better have some fun, and the stock car is fun," he exclaims.
Reaching out to the hipsterati does have its limits, however. When asked if he has any plans to augment his image with, say, a tattoo or piercing, the wannabe governor says flatly, "No."
Now that's not much fun. --By Paul Demko

- Begin thread embellishment by writing in 021 Copper Braid. We wrote "My favorite things" but you can write your pet's name, or any words. Then make other decorations, like the bone we made out of gold and pearl braids, or the cat shape out of pearl braid (with 015 chartreuse green eyes, and 221J burnished gold whiskers). Use our photo as a guide, or draw your own.
- Lay buttons along each side, pressing into the tape to secure.
- Lay satin or organdy ribbon along left side, as shown in photo.
- When embellishment is complete, lay your album in a shallow pan or tray and cover all remaining sticky areas with Diamond Beadlets. Swirl beadlets with your fingertips to make sure everything is fully covered.

On September 25, the fourth annual Los Angeles Walk for Lupus will take place, allowing those afflicted with the disease to walk with their friends and family in support of a cure.
This cure is a long time coming, as it's been more than 50 years since a drug has been approved for the treatment of this often-misunderstood disease.
Lupus is an acute and lifelong autoimmune disease in which an imbalanced immune system causes inflammation and tissue damage to nearly every organ system in the body.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
In October 2000, Saugus resident Lora Rodriguez was diagnosed with the disease. Then just 23, her doctor suggested that she might have arthritis after she complained of arm pain.
Rodriguez said she initially brushed off the doctor's prognosis. Luckily, she informed him of her frequent hand cramps caused by the amount of typing she'd done at her current job at the Auto Club.
"Had I not said that, we would've had to guess what was wrong with me."
Upon learning of the hand cramps, Rodriguez's doctor ran off the checklist of lupus symptoms, to which she responded "yes" to each.
"Sometimes thing that you don't think have anything to do with what's going on are actually part of lupus." There are various forms of lupus, but the two most common are Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus, which is limited to the skin causing rashes and lesions, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, which affects the kidneys, lungs, joints and heart.
Rodriguez has dealt with the latter form for the last 10 years.
In the past, she has been unable to participate in the Walk for Lupus due the debilitating impact of the disease.
During that time, enzymes in her body failed to distribute property causing the sac that surrounds the heart to become filled with fluid.
She subsequently had surgery to drain the area and took medication for a year to keep the problem at bay.
"I've been lucky the last few years where everything's been pretty good and I just have little spouts of this and that, but I went through a little chunk where it was just terrible," she said.
Now in better health, Rodriguez nevertheless feels the daily effects of lupus. She takes 13 pills every day, some simply to prevent diseases, such as malaria and cancer, from occurring.
All money raised by the Walk for Lupus will benefit research done by the Lupus Foundation of American.
"There is no one drug for lupus, which is why they're having this," she said.
Rodriguez's team currently boasts 24 members and is on the way to hitting $2,500 in donations.
To join her team or to make a donation, visit here.
To support or join the Los Angeles Walk for Lupus on September 25, head to Christmas Tree Lane at Exposition Park at Figueroa and 39th, Los Angeles, CA.
Those interested in learning more about the disease should visit lupus.org.

Fuel gauge reads empty

Re: Fuel gauge reads empty
Put a meter across the connections and with the engine switch on (ignore the alarms) you should read some value of over 12v - the same at the back of the gauge as on the tank.
If you get that it's not the gauge, the wire or the connections. Pull the sender and replace (varying cost from 29 bucks to 100+).
If you have power at the tank but not at the gauge you'll have to check the gauge via resistance check (meter on ohm's and a connection to each end of the wire). You should read a small amount of resistance. Infinite resistance indicates an open circuit, bad gauge. You can always check a meter's resistance/ohm reading by simply touching the red to the black - that's what good wire looks like. Then touch both to a working light bulb (connector on the base and other on the socket), that's what a working circuit with resistance works like. Everything that uses (consumes) electricity has some measure of resistance.
Then check the wires the same way (a long extension will be needed for your meter). Ditto, a small amount of resistance indicates the wires are good, infinite resistance means air gap, i.e. open or broken wire.
If you don't have power across the connections at the tank you'll have to check the other (source) end of the wires to make sure there is 12v there (usually 12v is provided from the engine harness - a take off from the alt since you only need fuel levels when the engine is running). You'll have to trace that out as each boat installation is different.
Once you think you have the right wires do a resistance check as described above just to be sure.
If you don't have a meter, when you get one (not if, when) get a digital one. Analog meters are not sensitive enough. Buy a spool of 20 feet of cheap wire and some small alligator clips too so you can make extensions.
Do voltage checks with the ignition switch on (or running if the alarms get to you). Do resistance checks with the ignition off.
Lessons learned are opportunities earned.

Some hepatitis viruses have vaccines and some don't. Some can lead to liver failure and others won't. Take this quiz to see how well you can separate myth from fact. Most people who get hepatitis C end up with long-term liver problems. FactMyth All types of hepatitis infections are spread through contact with infected blood or body fluids. FactMyth Unprotected sex is a common way to get infected with hepatitis C. FactMyth Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself from hepatitis C. FactMyth Hepatitis C infection is the most common chronic infection in the United States that's spread through blood. FactMyth Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended only for people who are at risk for hepatitis B. FactMyth Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for all children after age 1. FactMyth Blood screening tests are recommended for hepatitis A. FactMyth Baby boomers are the age group of people most at risk for hepatitis C. FactMyth There is no treatment for chronic hepatitis C.

Who offers Snowcap seeds?
Posted 22 December 2009 - 04:02 PM
Posted 22 December 2009 - 11:50 PM
Posted 23 December 2009 - 07:27 AM
As far as I know tho... 'Snowcap' is clone only, and the only form of seeds available (atleast retail) is the Reserva Privada Snowcap X Romulan. (Cant go wrong, these are my 2 favs lol)
Posted 23 December 2009 - 02:02 PM
I hear you there, that is all I can find also. You know I have never tried Snowcap. My girlfriend had some once and camehome telling me that 1 hit not even a green hit did her good. My friend got some 2 days ago he said it was better then the Whit Russian that he had in Amsterdam. Me I can not seem to get a chance to try it, and seeds don't seem to exist. Ya I found some clones in Cali, but I am not in Cali. I will keep looking into it and post my findings here. Thanks for the info Moe
I feel you man.... Snowcap is fucking amazing... The only time I have stumbled upon this strain was at Rothbury Fest 08. Yum...

Ya this is what I expected to find out. Maybe I will just go with that cross from DNA. They are quality, I am currently growing DNA LA Woman, it is the grow in my sig.
No seeds for snowcap yet. unless you have access to a med club where you can find the clones your odds of gettin this strain is unlikely. It is widely grown through the west coast but you would have to be connected with the local growers to find it. That Reserva Privada cross is probably your best bet. Problem with the "clone only" strains coming out of california is that they never seem to make their way to amsterdam(well rarely). So unless one of the few seeds breeders in Cali starts messin around with it(like the DNA boys) never gonna see it.
Has anyone smoked that DNA cross?
What did you think?
Had you ever had Snowcap?

It is even hard to find seeds for the DNA Snowcap x Romulan. Attitude is out of stock on them and so is DNA themselves. This must be some real fire.
Not so much that its fire as much as there available. People in states where its not legal hear these names all the time romulan, og kush, snowcap etc and as clone only they can never try it. When any form of seeds become available they sell out quick just cause people wanna try it. Seedbay, Breedbay are good places to look for exotic genetics. usually these seeds come from smaller scale breeders but still pretty quality. Other than that move to Cali bro like the rest of us lol.

Did Cali before, like the CO better.
Really? Whats the scene like out there in CO? Hows the growing? Cali is cool just cause in some places you can get away with having lots of plants. However the proliferation of totally dank bud has created a pretty snob scene in my opinion. id like to get back to somewhere where are people are chill and growing for fun and its less about the business.

The State cyber police has traced a 31-year-old youth, missing for the past 12 years, by tracking his activities on the internet, chiefly his e-mail and social networking accounts.
The police detained the missing person, Jimmy Koruth, at Adayar, Chennai and produced him before a court in Kollam district nearly 70 km away from here on Tuesday.
Inspector General of Police Kannur Range Tomin J. Thachankery said, Jimmy was reported missing from November 29, 1998 while in his final year degree at the Mar Ivanious College here. His father, V.V. Koruth of Pandalam, had registered a man missing complaint at the local police station.
The initial inquiries conducted by the police proved futile. The only clues were two letters that Jimmy had left behind in his hostel room before disappearing. In his letters, Jimmy had asked his parents not to search for him.
This January, a relative of Jimmy informed Circle Inspector, Pandalam, Zachariah Mathew, that he had seen an account in the name of Jimmy Koruth in the social networking site, Orkut. Mr. Zachariah brought the matter to the notice of Mr. Thachankery, the head of Cyber Cell.
The cell found that the Orkut account had been created on October 18, 2008. Investigators said the account holder did not post his photograph on the site nor did he list anybody as friends or contacts. Moreover, the "scrap book" of the account holder was also empty, giving no indication of his identity, location, job, tastes or friends.
They contacted Google International, the provider of the social networking service, and learned that the account had been initiated from an internet café in Chennai. The police found the café closed and they could not get any further details of the user who created the account.
The police later traced the e-mail address used for creating the account. The cyber investigators contacted the e-mail service provider and collected the user's e-mail access details and usage history.
They found that the e-mail user regularly visited an internet café in Adayar in Chennai. The owners of the café kept photocopies of users' identity proof in addition to video images.
The video images and photo on the copy of the driving license matched that of Jimmy. The Chennai police put plainclothesmen outside the café and arrested Jimmy on his arrival. The Tamil Nadu police later handed him over to their counterparts in Kerala.
Jimmy, who was present with Mr. Thachankery and other officers said he could not remember when he created the Orkut account. He said he was working at a business process outsourcing centre in Chennai. He said he was planning to visit home this Easter and that he was surprised initially when the police detained him. Mr. Jimmy's father, V.V. Koruth, thanked the investigators and said he was happy to have his son back.
Mr. Tomin said teachers and parents should mandatorily know the e-mail accounts (as well as mobile phone numbers) of their students and wards, in case they went missing or became victims of crime. Superintendent of Police, Cyber Cell, Girija Nathan Nair, Deputy Superindent of Police, J. Sukumara Pillai, Circle Inspector E.S. Biju Mon and Ajith Mohan investigated the case.
