EASTER Island in the southeastern Pacific is one of the remotest spots inhabited by humans. From evidence pieced together by archaeologists and linguists, we now know that this volcanic speck more than 3000 kilometres from the coast of Chile was probably first colonised by people from eastern Polynesia in the early centuries AD. But much about the island remains enigmatic, including its best-known feature, the colossal stone carvings, or

'Quite simply the best venue - anywhere'
Raymond Gubbay CBE, Raymond Gubbay Ltd
The Royal Albert Hall provides a unique venue in the heart of London for every kind of event. The Hall is available for hire by event organisers and commercial promoters and offers a package of facilities and services designed to ensure that each event meets its full potential. The following are included in rental and tickets sales fees:
In order to maintain the Royal Albert Hall's reputation and charitable objectives, we have a strict process in selecting all proposed events. Information in writing will be required to determine whether an event will fit into our programme of events. Please note that the Royal Albert Hall does not cater for birthdays or weddings.
Ordinary Let maximum capacity: 3,951
Exclusive Let maximum capacity: 5,272
In 1871, to raise extra funds for the completion of the building, private individuals were invited to purchase 999 years leases on some of the seats in the Hall. Under a Royal Charter stating the basis on which the Hall operates, most events are classified as Ordinary Lets and the Members are entitled to occupy their seats. However, in some cases an event may be classified as an Exclusive Let and the Members are therefore excluded from their seats. Such classifications are granted on a limited basis dependent on the nature of the event. On such occasions the privately owned seats are also available to the promoter for sale to the public.
Ticket commission is payable on all ticket sales. This commission is payable on all events whether sold through the Royal Albert Hall Box Office or external agents. Where no tickets are to be sold, a minimum ticket commission will be payable. For first time users of the Hall a 100% deposit including rental and minimum ticket commission plus VAT will be required.
The Royal Albert Hall is a charity and in recognition of the importance of supporting other registered charities within the community offers 40 charity lettings each year. Subject to availability and provided the charity itself contracts with the Hall, a reduction of the rental fee will apply.
Hire of the Hall covers a five-hour visitor access period for your event (which commences when the doors open). Should you require an extended period, a fee per hour or part thereof will be charged.
When you hire the Hall exclusively for your event a number of options are available to you.
These are available for use, subject to the nature of your event and audience demands.
Subject to availability, a selection of rooms may be used during your event for pre, post and/or interval receptions and VIP receptions.
The Gallery runs around the top of the Auditorium inside the Hall and offers breathtaking views down onto the Arena. A sit-down dinner can be arranged in this stunning area for 300 people or a buffet/drinks reception for 500 people.
This room takes 20 people for a sit down dinner or 32 people for a buffet or drinks reception.
There are two air conditioned Arena Foyers situated in the basement level: the Berry Bros. & Rudd No.3 Bar and West Arena Foyer, each with a capacity of 160.
Situated on the Grand Tier level just along from the Henry Cole Room, the newly refurbished Prince of Wales Room takes 30 people for a sit-down dinner or 40 for a buffet or reception.
The Programming Department would be delighted to talk to you in greater detail about the hire of the Hall:
p: 020 7589 3203
Our newly refurbished Elgar Room is the ideal space for intimate gigs, comedy nights, cabaret or theatre performances.

Renal Denervation Trial Shows Lower Blood Pressure, Lasting Results
March 30, 2011 – Interventional radiologists have completed the first human randomized controlled trial of therapeutic renal denervation, or RDN. RDN is a procedure that uses a catheter-based probe inserted into the renal artery that emits high-frequency energy to deactivate the nerves near the kidneys (or in the renal artery) that are linked to high blood pressure. The researchers say these results confirm that RDN may be an effective therapy for reducing—and consistently controlling—resistant hypertension when current medications have failed. The results were presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 36th Annual Scientific Meeting in Chicago. "Renal denervation, a minimally invasive, effective treatment, appears to be safe in the short term with a low incidence of local complications. Its efficacy to lower blood pressure in patients with resistant high blood pressure will be better evaluated with the results of a subsequent trial," said Marc R. Sapoval, M.D., Ph.D., professor of clinical radiology and chair of the cardiovascular radiology department at Hopital Europeen Georges-Pompidou in Paris. "After six months, 39 percent of patients receiving the endovascular denervation treatment had reached the recommended blood pressure level and, overall, 50 percent of patients showed a measurable benefit of the intervention." The renal sympathetic system, the small nerves that carry signals to and from the brain and kidney, plays an important role in regulating blood pressure. However, the disruption of these nerve fibers has a positive effect on blood pressure levels. "Given its impact on the central sympathetic drive, endovascular renal denervation may have applicability in additional disease states such as heart failure, cardio-renal syndrome, hepato-renal syndrome, and in the prevention of progression of chronic kidney disease and hypertension in end-stage renal disease—with the added benefit of helping to raise public awareness on the dramatic burden of this disease," said Sapoval. This study targeted only patients with resistant essential hypertension, which means that a doctor couldn't find any reason for the condition. Sapoval said the causes of high blood pressure can be wide-ranging, such as a benign tumor in the adrenal gland, stenosis of the renal artery, the taking of certain prescription drugs or other factors. By randomized assignment, 106 adult patients with uncontrolled hypertension received either oral medication or the renal denervation treatment. Six months after the intervention, systolic pressure fell an average of 32 mmHg and diastolic pressure fell an average of 12 mmHg. This initial cohort has been expanded to a multicenter randomized controlled trial at 24 international sites. Sapoval conceded that this was a small study, that the work still experimental, and that renal denervation should be performed only by interventional radiologists on screened patients in strictly controlled academic and/or research settings. However, he noted that it shows great promise for those suffering from resistant hypertension. Sapoval said that the patients had a short hospital stay for safety reasons, but that the treatment might possibly be performed in an outpatient clinic in the future.

The Sierra Madre del Sur is a mountain range in southern Mexico, extending 1000 km from southern Michoacán east through Guerrero, to the Istmo de Tehuantepec in eastern Oaxaca. It joins with the Eje Volcánico Transversal of central Mexico in northern Oaxaca, but is separated from this range further west by the valley of the Río Balsas and its tributary the Río Tepalcatepec.
The highest point is 3703 m, located at in central Guerrero.
Although separated from the main part of the Sierra Madre del Sur by the deep canyon of the lower Río Balsas, the mountains of southern Michoacán around Coalcomán are usually considered part of the Sierra Madre del Sur.
The Sierra Madre del Sur pine-oak forests occupy the higher reaches of the range. These forests are part of a chain of pine-oak forests that stretch from the southwestern United States to Costa Rica along the American Cordillera.
Lower elevations of the range are covered by tropical dry forests. The Jalisco dry forests occupy the western end of the range's Pacific slope. The Southern Pacific dry forests occupy most of the Pacific slope of the range, from Michoacan in the west through Guerrero and Oaxaca. The basin of the Balsas River, north of the Sierra, is home to the Balsas dry forests.

Fight against racism and xenophobia
The first key measure in the fight against racism was the resolution adopted by the Council and the representatives of the Member States in July 1996, declaring 1997 to be the "European Year against Racism".
The Amsterdam Treaty (1999) provided the first legal basis for combating all forms of discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation, as well as for the fight against racism and xenophobia in the fields of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
In June 2000, the Council adopted an important directive implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin. In the same year, the Council also adopted a directive on equal treatment in employment and occupation, and in 2004 a directive on equal treatment for men and women outside the labour market. Together with the proposal adopted in 2008 for a new directive on equal treatment between persons irrespective of religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation, these complete the European Union legal framework against discrimination.
In 2000, the Council also adopted a Community action programme to combat discrimination (2001-06) designed to support schemes to prevent and combat discrimination based on race or ethnic origin. This was replaced by the PROGRESS programme (2007-13), the Community programme for employment and solidarity.
The Nice Treaty (2003) supplemented the penalty mechanism already provided for by the Amsterdam Treaty with a prevention or warning mechanism, particularly targeting human rights abuses such as racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.

On a recent trip from Florida to Maryland, we stayed one night, 10/12, at this delightful B&B. Guests are hosted by Kim and Steve Clardy though Steve was under the weather during our visit and stayed away from the guests. You can tell that they truly care about the B&B and the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. We stayed in the Glo Davis suite and had the shared bathroom all to ourselves since the other connected room happened to be vacant. Our room was lovely with nice furnishings and a very comfortable queen bed. The dinner Kim prepared for her guests that night was awesome. It included a nice salad, a delicious steak perfectly prepared accompanied by fresh salmon, a zucchini and squash medley, and topped off with a lava cake. Wonderful. Breakfast included a fresh fruit cup, crispy bacon, potatoes and scrambled eggs with a verde sauce. Wow! We had an interesting chat with the delightful Kim after breakfast before we had to continue our trip. The grounds of the B&B are beautiful and are well tended to. We fully expect to visit this B&B again on our next I-95 trip to Maryland.

First of all, I am not a huge fan of B&Bs of any kind. However, this B&B is exceptionally lovely, quiet and beautifully run. Our rooms were spotless, our booking was ideal, our food was delicious and personable. It was everything you wish a B&B could possibly be. My last 3 B&B stays were hugely disappointing, so I can only urge you to book. I NEVER post a facebook review and I did for this place. It is in large part due to the couple who manage and run it - but the surroundings are also lovely. I will be going again!

Site Status, History, and Stuff
At the end of September,
2009, it was 14 years since I destroyed my first Porsche 944 (which I
bought brand new) in a redwood canyon, and got out with minor bruises.
I bought that car for my 30th birthday, and wrecked it shortly before
my 40th birthday. So I figured that my life was my 40th birthday present
to myself. Bill's 944 World was 10 years old on August 29th, 2006 and
is dedicated to that car and to 944's the world over. After the 944 FAQ
document, this is now the oldest 944 site on the net. I get a ton of email
from this site, so if you write I will try - repeat - try to answer. And
thank you to everyone for the questions, comments and compliments over
the years; I use your most frequent questions to make new pages.
I've been running this site for nine years, and while the interface has changed little, the car is still a masterpiece of engineering, design, and driving fun. The other two 944-specific sites (before me) have been 404 (lost) for years, and I'm now the oldest 944 site on the net after the 944 FAQ document. A net search these days returns hundreds of enthusisast sites, and thousands of results with the classifieds, online discussions, and dismantlers included. The visitation stats have been interesting. I was hopeful to get 1,000 visitors in the first year. Instead, I got 8,000. At year 2, I was just short of 70,000. At three years it hit almost 170,000. I was at the top of Yahoo and Excite, and am still close on those engines. At the dawn of 2000, it was over 200,000. I've broken counters along the way, so the true site count is probably over 1 million as of 2005. Since inception, this site continues to be a collection of 19 years of 944 driving, rebuilding and tinkering, as much as being a dedication to the memory of my first 944, and my seatbelt, which saved my life.
Dedication, well...yes. To a (brand new) 944 I bought and owned for ten years before I spectacularly sent it away: I ballistically launched it forward, through the air, about 100 feet into a redwood canyon one night. It's the black (on burgundy leather) 944 pictured below at the edge of the ocean. It had the optional 16 inch wheels, an aftermarket exhaust and beefed suspension. Drove it for almost 139,000 miles, hard at times, too. Then it was a deer, a redwood, a cliff-dive off the pavement, and then the large fallen redwood that finally stopped me. I think I went from 40MPH to Zero in about a tenth of a second when I hit the fallen tree. Oh well.
Where I live, the local twisty and hilly roads (CA Hwys 84, 35, 9) make every day a driver's event. Check and tighten your seatbelt, then read the crash stories; you wanted my crash pics and I have always said no - so far.

WATER supplies in Beitbridge town have improved after engineers from the Zimbabwe National Water Authority repaired the water treatment pump which had been submerged in water due to flooding.
The sole water station had been flooded due to torrential rains, which had been pounding the district the whole of last week.
The town had been without water for five days last week until normal service was restored at the weekend.
The water treatment station, which is located a few metres from the Limpopo River, and back-up generators were submerged on Monday last week.
Residents had to rely on 33 boreholes that are dotted across the border town at the height of the water shortages.
An official from Zinwa, who preferred anonymity, said it took them four days for them to address the situation at the treatment plant.
"We had to drain the water from the treatment pump and reassemble the machines again before restoring services," said the official.
The town needs at least 15 000 cubic metres of water per day though the local authority has been able to supply a third of the daily requirement.
The town has 4 000 houses and is home to over 40 000 people.
The floods have also affected construction work on the new treatment pump that is sponsored by Government.
Dr Singo said the floods had also left a trail of destruction on the water and sewer reticulation systems.
He said four points had been damaged on the main sewer line though they had managed to repair three points.
The town secretary said the bus terminus and several link roads were extensively damaged though their engineering department had started working on-site.
He said the flow of water had reached to over 10 metres early this week. Dr Singo said they were doing everything necessary to avoid the outbreak of water-borne diseases such as cholera.

Burton Albion fans react to the defeat at Northampton Town
Posted: April 15, 2014|
WE all went to Northampton to be part of a historic promotion season.
We all wore our team colours, proud to be supporting the Brewers.
It was in stark contrast to Cobblers fans who have had to watch their team fight relegation all year.
At the end of the 90 minutes my pride had turned to embarrassment.
We were ridiculed by a Northampton team who wanted the three points more than our team did.
I felt sorry for the Burton players – whatever they were playing at, I am not sure.
It wasn't football. They weren't a team.
You could tell from their body language that they just didn't know what to do.
Albion only had one shot on target all game.
They had seven corners but couldn't make one of them count.
Do Albion not have any set plays when they get dead ball situations?
The defence did its best. However, when you never win any aerial balls why hoof it up field every time – we simply give possession away.
How many weeks do we all say that? Don't they ever learn?
Please, please, fellas, keep the ball on the ground and play football – not head tennis.
Dean Lyness came on in the second half and made a fantastic save to keep it down to a one-goal margin.
Personally, I hope he stays in the starting role now until the end of the season.
The midfield was awful and passing distribution was lazy and lacked any inspiration.
The real issue is as always the strikers.
Billy Kee and Adam McGurk are strikers only in so far as they are currently on strike.
They are not working hard and would never have scored on Saturday even if we played till midnight.
They are letting themselves and their team down badly.
McGurk displays no desire to run after a ball and when he is given it he shows little of his ability. He has no self confidence.
Kee is easily swept aside by big defenders and his theatrical falls to the ground are becoming tedious.
Burton Albion Ladies team are prolific scorers.
Perhaps Kee and McGurk should practise with them to learn how it's done. Come on Albion get a grip and do the job you are paid for.
Steve Smith
NORTHAMPTON are second from bottom for a reason.
Today (Saturday) we had no idea, no real shots on goal and at this rate no chance in the play-offs.
Stuart Garner
From 45 minutes of sublime football last week to 90 minutes of abject mediocrity this week.
Shockingly poor and cruel on fans.
Rowett might want to consider how Chris Wilder, with a poor squad, tactically wiped the floor with him.
After defeat at Sixfields we now need to be looking down the table rather than up. The automatic promotion slots are mathematically possible, but if you include goal difference in the equation then the top three slots appear to be settled.
The Brewers need to win two from four to guarantee the play-offs which still represents a significant achievement.
The performance at Northampton was poor, we lacked any quality or cohesion and the players seemed a bit confused - which is not unlike me sat behind the goal wondering how we have gone from the best footballing performance of the season to the worst in two matches.
Rowett was rightly hailed as a tactical genius after the win against Plymouth. He took the credit for that result so must accept responsibility for this utterly depressing and slightly alarming show.
Why change a winning formula to such a massive degree. McCrory was injured and Alexander not fully fit. But this apart how can we justify abandoning what worked so well last week?
Bell was massively missed and McFadzean is a left winger (with a right winger on the bench). Edwards is not a left back either, but he was our man of the match which speaks volumes for the rest of the team. If we are to play steady old 4-4-2 then at least lets get the players in their natural positions.
The change to 4-3-3 was a disaster. For that to succeed we need a target man who can hold the ball up, Symes would be perfect.
We now need to use these next four games to set ourselves for the play-offs, find a team and formation that works and stick by it. Let's play to our strengths and let the opposition take care of themselves.
Steve Fuller.

On an whim, I launched the ME3 configuration tool and started looking at the settings (resolution, AA etc) not really messing with anything. I opened the system tab, everything was fine, but I looked at the VRAM spot and it lists my computer as having -2147483648 bytes, or -2GB, of VRAM. That doesn't sound like something I want.
I have been playing with zero problems, overall smooth experience, it's all been great. So I don't know if this is really a question I should be asking. But it's weird enough that I'm kinda concerned. Anyone have experience with an issue like this, if it's an issue at all?

make it again
Serves 8
In a large bowl whisk together the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the watercress and the radishes and toss the salad well.
Simple, but good, side salad. Bonus points for being low-calorie. I substituted upland cress for the watercress and it was very peppery. The next time I do that, I might add some cranberries or raisins just to balance out the spice.

Marc Emery's Blog
Marc Emery Begins His Campaign to Come Home
Last week I filled out my paperwork for the Canadian government regarding my desire to be transferred to the Canadian prison system. In March I will fill in the US paperwork to have it in Washington, DC by approximately April 6th, two years to the day after the US Department of Justice rejected my first application.
If I don't get accepted for a transfer by either the US or Canadian governments, I will be released on July 9th, 2014 here in the United States, spending 15-20 days at a US Immigration & Customs Enforcement facility (likely in Oakdale, Louisiana), and then flown to either Vancouver or Toronto. I'd like to think that, at the latest, I'd be home with Jodie for our 8th wedding anniversary on July 23rd, 2014.
However, if I get approved for transfer under the Canada-US treaty (International Transfer of Offenders Act), I could be en route to a Canadian federal prison in the summer of this year. If I arrive at a Canadian prison on September 1st this year, under new rules enacted by the Conservative government, I'll be held for a while before being released on December 10th, 2013 – just in time for Christmas.
If I were originally sentenced in Canada, I would have been automatically released July 4th, 2013, at 2/3 of my sentence; that was the statutory release date for any federal prisoner. But under punitive new rules by the Harper government, I will, upon arrival at a Canadian federal prison, have to spend 1/3 of my remaining US sentence in a Canadian prison, even though it goes beyond the statutory release date for any other prisoner.
So whereas I should be released in Canada on July 10th this year (having served 40 months of a 60 month sentence that day, the Canadian release time for any other Canadian federal prisoner) if I am brought back and arrive on September 1st (an estimate, as it takes up to three months after the Canadian government approval to wend my way back through the US system into a Canadian prison), instead of being automatically released, I have to serve an additional 1/3 (of the sentence up to the July 9th, 2014 US release date). That's 1/3 of 317 days, or 106 extra days past September 1st, which would be December 11th, 2013.
But at least I would out before Christmas this year, and home almost 7 months earlier than my US release, so it's still a benefit.
Here's how the treaty application system works, and how I very much need the help of everyone who thinks I deserve their help – hopefully, that's you and any other members of the cannabis culture you can talk to in person, on Facebook, in other social media, at school, at work, at your local medical pot club, vapor lounge, and your friends and your family.
Since I'm a Canadian citizen who lived in Canada before my incarceration, and I'm not affiliated with organized crime, or a threat to the safety of any Canadian, I qualify to be repatriated into the Canadian system. Once I file my Canadian paperwork, they process it and send someone from Corrections Canada to see Jodie, check out our apartment where I'm going to live, and ask a lot of personal questions.
The decision by the Canadian government to accept or reject my application will be made after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) makes their decision, which will be 6-8 weeks after my US application is received in Washington, DC.
My application will go to the DOJ in Washington by the second week of April, and I should have an answer back by the end of May. If approved, this information is sent to the Canadian embassy in Washington, and then is forwarded to the Canadian Minister of Public Safety – currently the Honorable Vic Toews – and he can accept, reject, or stall.
I fully qualify by the criteria set out by both the US and Canadian federal governments regarding treaty transfer approval. But that does not mean approval is automatic; governments often do ignore their own criteria, so as much political pressure as can be applied needs to be leveraged.
For My American Supporters:
I need you to contact your Congressmen (your US Rep in the House and US Senator – click here to find yours) or other sympathetic elected officials urging them to write a letter (or add their name to an existing letter that Jodie will soon provide on www.FreeMarc.ca) endorsing my transfer back to the Canadian penal system. You are asking them to write to the International Transfer of Offenders program director:
Paula A. Wolff, Chief
U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division
OEO, International Prisoner Transfer Program
JCK Building, 10th Floor
Washington, DC
You should point out that I am a non-violent cannabis offender who was convicted in Washington state of selling seeds from my desk in Vancouver, Canada. (You can also cite any of the other important details about what I did and why, which are listed under the "Who is Marc Emery" page at www.FreeMarc.ca) You can say I have had an exemplary career despite this one federal conviction. You can say I have served over 3 years of a 5 year sentence already, and am due for release in July 2014 even without a transfer. I have had no incidents of any kind in over three years of prison, so I am considered a model prisoner. I am not asking for a commutation or pardon, merely a transfer back to Canada under the current US-Canada prisoner exchange treaty.
Copies of any letters by elected officials should be forwarded to Jodie (her email address is JodieEmery[at]gmail.com), who will then forward these to my transfer lawyer in Washington, DC, who makes a pitch to the DOJ on my behalf sometime in April or May. I am hopeful the original prosecutor in my case, former Western Washington US District Attorney John McKay will write a letter endorsing my transfer, particularly in light of his sponsorship and advocacy in the campaign to legalize marijuana with the I-502 initiative that was successful in November, and which Jodie and I were official endorsers of.
In mid-February, Jodie and CannabisCulture.com (and FreeMarc.ca) will begin a campaign to make my supporters aware of an impending petition drive to be put on the US government website "WE THE PEOPLE", similar to the one in 2011 asking for me to be pardoned, which the White House was forced to respond to (but weaseled out of with a "no comment" answer).
On March 15th the "We the People" website will have a petition titled "TRANSFER US FEDERAL PRISONER MARC EMERY BACK HOME TO CANADA". The petition will ask the President to direct his Attorney-General Eric Holder to direct the administrator of the International Transfer of Offenders division of the DOJ to approve my transfer application. We have 30 days (March 15th - April 14th) to gather 25,000 signatures/names so that it meets the threshold for President Obama's office to acknowledge it.
For My Canadian Supporters:
The Canadian campaign to repatriate me to the Canadian system kicks into high gear once the US Department of Justice approves my transfer application at their end, in Washington, DC. That is expected to be by the end of May, early June.
By April, I need all my Canadian supporters to write their Member of Parliament (find yours by clicking here) and any other elected local or provincial representatives, seeking them to write a letter to urge the Public Safety Minister to accept my transfer application immediately upon acceptance by the US Department of Justice. The Minister of Public Safety Canada can be contacted via email or by regular post.
(Postage not required)
Minister of Public Safety
House of Commons
Ottawa, Canada
We should be able to secure the support of 30-40 Members of Parliament, and 20-25 other elected officials from across Canada. This is much greater than any previous transfer applicant, by far. MP's from the New Democratic Party, Liberal Party, and of course Elizabeth May of the Green Party should be approached especially, as they are most likely to be supportive. If you live in a riding represented by the government (i.e. a Conservative), you are very much encouraged to urge them to approach the Minister of Public Safety in support of my transfer application. You can indicate to any MP that their participation (or not) will very much influence your vote in the 2015 election.
Once the Canadian Ministry of Public Safety has been informed of the US DOJ approval, we will urge you to again contact the Minister and your elected representatives – politely, of course, as rude or threatening calls won't help – to get them to tell the Minister to approve the transfer.
If, after 28 days, there is no answer, a nationwide phone blitz for one specific day will be announced (well in advance), where hopefully thousands of Canadians will spend as much of that day as possible calling every phone number at the Minister of Public Safety, and every office on Parliament Hill of every Conservative MP, and every Conservative MP constituency office across Canada. This will be done every 14 days until the minister approves the transfer. If he rejects the transfer, the phone barrage will continue every 14 days, urging him to reverse this decision. For that campaign to be effective, we need the support of thousands of Canadians, who can keep the phone lines busy for nine hours straight on those targeted dates.
Ideally the phone jam campaign won't be necessary, as we hope to have my transfer application quickly approved by both the US and Canadian federal governments. It depends on you to help make that happen! Thank you in advance for your support.
This blog in mid-January is to inform anyone reading this how the transfers work and how the campaign to repatriate me to Canada will be done. To make it happen I will need you and as many people as you can round-up to help out in the ways indicated. Please stay tuned for updates on The Jodie Emery Show at www.Pot.tv and www.YouTube.com/PotTVNetwork and at www.CannabisCulture.com and www.FreeMarc.ca
Marc, I invite you to look into Divine Province
Study it. Thoroughly. www.divineprovince.org I'm your old friend from London now in Minnesota.
A Petition...
Some of us in Toronto are putting together a petition for you as follows to your directions above. Does it need to be done by April and sent it? Or is anytime in April ok?
J Frank Parnell
Friend of mine had a lobotomy. Designer of the neutron bomb. You ever hear of the neutron bomb? Destroys people - leaves buildings standing. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until - BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again.
Beautiful evening; you can almost see the stars...
Phone Jam/Not Advisable?
While I fully back Marc in this unjust imprisonment, I don't think that advising the public to harrass MPs is the smartest thing to do. I recognize WHY you'd want to do that, but isn't there an old saying that goes something like, "You get more flies with honey than vinegar"? If it were me, I'm not sure I'd want the 'powers that be', the ones who held the key to my release, to know that it was I who called for this tactic, should it be taken. Let's do the proper thing, and YES, send letters, and emails to your MP requesting release. Do it multiple times, should you choose. But to purposely harrass people who have such important things to fill their days, could also be a sure way to stay exactly where you are, for the full term and/or more!
Play safe;
Time keeps on slippin into the future
Hey it is getting closer all the time, won't be long now. Cannot wait to see Marc on the outside to help out with the movement amid all the changes that have occurred since his imprisonment.
Early release for Marc? Wishful thinking.
I believe Marc will continue to be made an example of, and denied early release to finish his sentence in Canada. The Canadian and American governments are at war with their own tax paying citizens who by a majority want cannabis prohibition. There is no justice in either country where we are led by a bunch of hypocritical right wing Christian boozers on power trips. The God they follow is narrow minded and vindictive. The real God is much more forgiving and loves everyone equally, including people who consume marijuana. The treatment of Marc will be a huge embarrassment to the P.C.'s down the road.
Marc, isn't it clear to you yet? The Canadian Harper government is out to fuck you and all cannabis users any and every way they can. Same with the USA government.
I wish you the best of luck playing the "system" to get back to Canada but be aware that THEY have no respect for their own system and will happily ignore the rules to make you suffer some more.
Evil drug warrior scum! If there IS a God, if there IS Karma, they're all going straight to hell where they belong.
Another question
What could people outside USA and Canada do ? We can send too some letters by mail and by e-mail. We sould help Marc and show the elected officials that all the world is supporting him. But I am not sure now that this idea is a good one, because I don't know if this is a campain only for americans and canadians... Could you answer to this please?
Sorry... I have not introduced myself
I realize I did not sign all my messages : I am cynoque, and I represent nobody except me.
So the two questions in comments (deadline, and what to do in France), the mail with the questions, and the last message where I speak about my feeling of being treated as a leper here, were mine. I really believe we will work together one day, so why starting it with apathy ?
with all my consideration
PS : don't talk to me, you should become aware...
I understand you don't verify
I understand you don't verify the comments because some of them are very very dumbs and stupids, but when I additionally write you an email, nobody answer too...
I am certainly french, but I am not a plague victim...
So I ask you for the third time : I will participe to the campain but, because I am in France, I want to know this : by past there were surely some similar campain where some frenchs buds have participated. I think about writing to my deputy and/or senator, or the US ambassy, to make them join the USA and Canada to push to Marc's Transfer.
Please just answer me, because I'm starting to believe that you have a problem with me in particular!
Just a question
What is the exact deadline for sending the letters?
Pipe Dreams
Wow time fly's I just have to say ...where did it go..?
Seems you just left
And wasn't that above to say actually that you plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana...?
What you describe would sure need a lot of people and I cant ever see it happening so I hope the harper government doesn't think pot heads will bother
See you july 9 2014
The Incoherence of Pipe Dreams
Before attempting any more thinly-veiled sarcasm maybe you should learn how to write simple English sentences. For but one example, it should be "flies" and not "fly's".
Hello Marc.
Marc, I really hope that we will manage all to help you with this new campain. I have to follow and to relay it even in France, and I will. I support you because I believe that you are guilty of nothing at all, you are a political prisoner because your government and the US one wanted to break you, and the result is you're in prison, and that's unfair, the entire world is unfair with his damned War on Drugs.
I fight it and all my life IS dedicated to this fight, the fight for our rights to all, to use this plant, to sell it if this is the way the society works, giving it when revolution will shoot the monetary system. I know that all the persons involved in the legalization fight, are fighting for MY rights, YOURS, and even the rights of the stupids prohibitionists. But they don't even know it. They don't want to see this, but that's the true.
Why a plant, (which come from Nature, Gaïa, or you call it as you want, "the Earth" is the world's convention) should be forbidden while it's a so rich plant in many ways? Why are you, and all the POW, imprisonned? I actually ask myself these questions for a long time, and I never found the answer.
Force and friendship. Hope you will be able to see this message soon.
freedom and justice
I have been sad and angry every day over this whole thing.,
yes Marc is a Political prisoner and POW of sorts.,
He is the whipping boy for these bogus governments on both sides of the U.S. Canadian border.,
I know something cool.,
Some of those seeds Marc was so good to let us get are still around generations of plants later giving many people joy and comfort.,
I know becasue a lot of my personal is had from those very seeds.,
I owe a world of thanks to Marc and Jodey for being so brave and so strong during all of this.
One day I hope to be able to shake Marcs hand.,
may be I can get a hug from Jodey too?????
Stand up and be counted!
I have been a silent supporter of Marc and Jodi's campain for many years, and have had the good fotune to visit thier facilies personally on occasion.
I find it absured that Marc remains incarserated in a foreign prison, for selling nothing more than a seed, in a country which now sanctions the activity in several states. This situation has promped me to stand up and be vocal about my position on the subject, which is that it represents a deplorable ufairity to these good people.
I encourage all to do the same, being that if we all shed our embarassment and silence about believing that a benign plant such as marijuana should be de-criminalized, a change at the political level will absolutely occur.
Thank-you Marc and Jodi ,for your sacrafises on my behalf.....
And thank-you Bob Erb.................
