From: Compost And Compost Teas, A Clarification: Or How To Grow The Very Best Cannabis
This Article Was Written By Mister X and I thought it was Some Interesting Reading Regarding Cannabis and Compost Teas. Where is the Best Cannabis In Northern Californa? It Could perhaps be in your own garden or own backyard!Clarification is included in the title due to the abundance of misinformation out there re Teas. With this series of posts I will attempt to shed some light on the subject and debunk a shit ton of bad 411.
About the author: I started cultivating cannabis outdoors in cow pastures and vineyards in Northern, CA in the early 70's. I started in what i would now call dirt. The helicopters started in the beginning of the 80's and sent myself and a lot of my confederates seeking the shelter of indoor cultivation and hydroponics. For almost 20 years I ran hydroponics, I get bored easily so I constantly switched media and systems. The result of this is I can rock any media, any system; rockwool, peat, coco coir, hydroton, pea gravel, i don't care; ebb n flow, dwc, drip, wand, aero, drain to waste, recycle, don't care. Been there done that, and I have the tee-shirt. Hope this doesn't sound arrogant, I just want you to grasp the fact that I have tried and became somewhat proficient with most of those systems (never really grooved well with aero - to many snags), yet I choose soil. But not just soil, a truly living soil. For the last 10 years or so I've been into soil, soil not dirt, soil is a living system, dirt is mostly dead. So the progression was, dirt, hydro, soil. Now I'm a sort of cheerleader for using Truly Living Organics (TLO) for lack of a better name, cause w/o TLO, you will have the organic blues. This is why organic ganga has garnered a bad name among those in the know. I don't even like to label meds organic, lest some type of psychosomatic trip kick in and F-up the analgesic effects, or disuade the individual from even trying in the first place. It's inverse to the food market. Why? Way too many have been burnt by bunk organic too many times, or have heard from friends that organic pot can never have the same kick as it's perfectly done blinged out inorganic sister. Why? In a word chelation. Without a diverse biology (life) organic cannabis will always be mediocre at best. That said organic cannabis done with the correct biology, done the way I will lay down in this series of posts can not be touched by any other system, you will be producing true pharma grade cannabis. Put it this way. Does M's #1 have a kick? Follow along if this sounds like something you'd like to do, those who do will be able to:
• Throw away your PH Meter, and quit playing the NPK Game.
• Enlist fungi to mine rocks for Phosphorus (for real)
• Eliminate the need for nitrogen fertilizers
• Make biologically powerful compost and compost tea
• Eliminate pesticides "organic" or otherwise.
• Grow the very best possible pharma grade medicine
Readers: please pack your bags, cause I plan on taking you on a long trip. A safari through soil, if you will. A Safari through Soil, eeeeeejo (sounds like - eeeeehoe) how lame is that? Well turns out not so lame, soil is the basis for all life, it's where everything starts and ends. If we can help spread the word and maybe we can get the farmer -and most everyone else- off the tons of salts modern ag is putting into the ground, which leads to the copious use of pesticides. Which cause disturbance and compaction. With the correct information the vicious circle of salt/pesticide use can be arrested or at least curtailed. I say vicious circle due to the salts killing off the biology, thereby leaving the plant easy prey for pathogens. So what do we do then, once the pests inevitably start attacking the plant now deprived of it's natural defenses? Why spray pesticide of course. And then a little more once the pest start developing a tolerance. OK everybody packed up? Ready to go?
Make no mistake, the reader who's able to hang tough - will be capable of producing pharma quality flowers. This I promise dear weed tracking reader, stay with me and you will be able to grow the very best cannabis in the world. This is of course if you are able to get your hands on world class strains, if you live in Cali this should not be too difficult, if you live anywhere else talk to me about sending you a clone in a sealed test tube, just add light and grow. Not magic, just tissue culture cloning. In addition to becoming a world class grower, you will throw away your PH meter and dis-associate w/ your local Hydro store. Kiss plant decease and pests goodbye, w/o ever resorting to pesticide. Yep it's that serious, it's that cool.
What is a salt?
When I speak of salt I do not speak of table salt, for the sake of these posts, a salt is anything that disassociates in water. I.E., anything that dissolves in water. Salt is a conductor which is why EC meters (electric conductivity meters) are used to tell us what our nutrient levels are. We read them as total dissolved solids, in parts per million.
Why do salts behave this way?
Regardless of whether a system is biological or synthetic, plants need nutrients in the form of ions, an ion is a positively or negatively charged compound. Salts are made up of ions, that means when the salt is added to the water, the hydrogen (H+; positive charge) portion of the water will complex with the negative part of the salt and the hydroxide (OH; negative charge) part of the water molecule will complex the positive part of the salt.
This occurs due the simple positive and negative charge interactions. All salts are in this category because they behave this way.
Why am I discussing inorganic nutrients in an organic forum?
If you can measure it with a EC meter it's a salt it is not organic no matter the certification or Hydro store claims. And I want you to get a good grasp on what it does to your microbiology when you add salts, even inadvertently.
Why is this important?
Think about what the above salt discussion means for water availability in the soil or even a soilless media. For each molecule of inorganic nutrient added, one molecule of water has been taken away from the plant, and from the microbes. The negative impact on microbes is severe, plants aren't typically harmed until extremely high concentrations of inorganic nutrients are reached. Plants are very tolerant of desiccation (lack of water) 1000's of times more tolerant than many of the beneficial bacteria and fungi. Salts kill the wide diversity we need in our biology to sustain true nutrient cycling. Without true nutrient cycling you will never produce pharma quality flowers w/o the use of specially cheleted inorganic chemicals.
Will actively aerated compost tea's (AACT's from here forward) work with soilless media?
Yes, but certain media works better than others. For instance, coir, peat and rockwool will sustain even micro arthropods, so hell to the yes, but I'm hoping to get you into a true soil by the end of these posts.
Are AACT's plant nutrients?
Yes and No. Mostly no. They can and often do contain small amounts of nutrients, but we are not interested in them as nutrients. They are inoculates, we want to introduce the biology contained in a tea to our soil. Therefor they must maintain a specific balance of micro organisms to be effective. The balance is plant specific, so the balance we're looking for is for the cannabis plant. We will inoculate the media, then the plant itself will take over the feeding of the specific microbiology it needs around it's rhizosphere (root system) it selects by feeding specific bacteria and fungi by excreting exudates from its roots. Exudates are food for the microbes, they are proteins (chains of enzymes), carbohydrates and sugars. They feed the microbes and help with the decomposition process.
Side note: decomposed organic matter retains 10x as much water as before it was decomposed, and becomes more and more gnarly each time it is consumed.
One person's poop is an others pizza! The plant poops out cakes and cookies (exudates) from it's root system, the bacteria and fungi shout, "yippee!" and have a party and do they ever multiply. Now the protozoa really start whooping' it up; they're eating all those bacteria multiplying like crazy. Bacteria are very high in nitrogen content their carbon to nitrogen (c/n) ratio is 5:1, this is the narrowest range known to any creature on earth. Protozoan have a c:n ratio of 30:1, so in order to get enough C (energy) they must eat 6 bacteria. Once they eat 6 bacteria they have have the right amount of C but now they picked up 5 extra bacteria, they need to get rid of that. So the protozoan poop out 5 N for every 6 bacteria consumed. Wowzer that's some serious nitrogen production.
Is this enough N to grow cannabis?
Each protozoan eats 10,000 bacteria per day, so that's 8,000 N molecules per day per protozoan! Healthy soils contain 50,000 protozoa per g. Protozoa eat 500,000,000 bacteria per g of soil per day, which releases 400,000,000 molecules of N per g of soil per day. This part's kinda rough, so I'm gonna do the math for you. This equals 7 ng of N per cm3 surface of root soil per day, and the hungriest plant known to man only requires 0.2 ng of N per cm3 surface of root soil per day to thrive. So vast amounts of Carbon and Nitrogen are held in the atmosphere and cycled into plant available forms, but…..
What about the other nutrients? All the nutrients are available in the soil, there are mineral eating bacteria, there are phosphorus solubilizing bacteria and fungi. And mycorrhizal fungi do it all.
Where are their reserves? How are they held in the soil? How do they become plant available?
The crystalline structures on the fungi are calcium oxalate held and kept from leaching out of the soil by the fungal hyphae. Plants cannot get access to nutrients retained by the bacteria or fungi directly; they need protozoa and nematodes to consume them and release the nutrients in a chelated plant available form. That is unless the fungi are mycorrhizal, mycorrhizal fungi can translocate this calcium directly to the plant. Other fungi need the protozoa and nematodes to perform the metabolic processing needed to transform and chelate these nutrients, which the protozoa and nematodes release as waste. See one person's poop is an others pizza.
What I will attempt to convey with this series of posts is how you can have true nutrient cycling and the plant it self will select for the exact nutrients it needs at the exact moment it needs them. Perfectly chelated by nature. This requires understanding soil structure, succession, nutrient pools, retention…
Microbes make hallways and passageways in soil or soilless media.
Bacteria makes glue that hold clays, silt, sand, and organic matter together.
Fungi are strands that make glue and threads that hold bacterial aggregates together.
Protozoa control bacterial populations.
Nematodes open up large pore areas.
Micro arthropods engineer the larger pores.
Roots engineer the freeways.
We want our soil to be like cake. Cake for the plant, and in return the plant will feed the soil cookies and ice cream in the form of exudates.
Soil selects for the plant species, soil drives succession. What is succession? Succession begins with any disturbance, a disturbance that destroys the biology, or some of the species there. And succession has a lot to do with selection, how the soil selects. Why the soil selects for what it selects for depends on how far along in the successional order or chain that soil is in. The first stage in soil succession is the early grasses or lower grasses (weeds), than mid grasses, than the first mycorrhizal plants and vegetables, than shrubs, and on and on until we reach old growth forrest. And let's be clear, despite the fact that most if not all the posters, charts, etc., that display an attempted simile of succession always show what's on top of the soil. Never the soil, which IMO is the most important part as it drives the life on top, which is what is unusually displayed. From micro beasties to man. Remember, "one person's poop is an others pizza!", so the charts will typically start with the micro-arthropods Tiny creatures barely or not visible to man, the macro-arthropods (bugs) that eat them, then the birds and small animals that eat them, until we get to old growth forrest and man. The flora and fauna are displayed, but not what's truly driving the succession. Soil. Why isn't everything old growth forrest by now, since succession is driven by time and nature. In a word - disturbance. Animal and human foot traffic can create compaction, as can high concentrations of urine, feces, so grazing animals may create disturbance, than there's flooding, erosion, fire, earthquake, clear cutting, plowing, tilling, monsanto corp., salts, these all create disturbance. Disturbance can happen from of any number of natural or man made calamities.
Let's use Mt. Saint Helens for our example of disturbance and succession. On May 18th, 1980, Mt. Saint Helens in Washington erupted. In the blast zone the land was scoured by the 1300F. temperatures of a pyroclastic wave that eradicated everything in it's path. The topper both literally and figuratively was the millions of tons of volcanic ash deposited on the surrounding landscape. In many areas it was measured to be over 40 feet deep. Yikes! 40 feet of completely sterile matter. Inert - no life. So we had vast areas of land that contained no biology. What happened next? That's right life happened.
CO2 mixed with the sun (energy) and photosynthetic bacteria were formed. Photosynthetic bacteria fix nitrogen, and solublilize phosphorous and calcium. The nutrients are solubilized by the enzymes created by the photosynthetic bacteria. This is the beginning of the colonization of the volcanic ash, the colonization that will turn the inert ash into a living soil. As the photosynthetic bacteria live and die, the waste coming out of their bodies feed other organisms and this starts to build enough diversity to support the first true bacteria. And hey once we have true bacteria, here come the hungry protozoa and fungi. And let's not forget the importance of natures taxi cabs; micro-arthropods, macro-arthropods and even small animals like gofers that were tunneling back up to the surface, carrying with them come a host of other organisms and organic matter. Also bugs were flying over and dying, giving the decomposers plenty to feast on. Until finally there's enough organic matter to support early grasses, which are little more than weeds. What is a weed? A weed has a short life span, seeds early, thrives on high nitrate concentrations - ohhhhh, you mean the high nitrates that would come in surges as large populations of bacteria live and die. Without enough predators the early bacterial populations thrive until they suck up all the oxygen, and carbon that's available and die. The resulting high surges of nitrate are exactly what a fast growing, fast dying weed needs to survive, then die depositing more organic material (OM) to be eaten, pooped out, eaten again, pooped out again, and on and on, each time the OM gets eaten or decomposed it becomes more complex or gnarly and retains more water and holds more nutrient. This is the process of the creation of Humic Acid. Humic Acid is formed when nematodes feed on fungi, so bacteria begin the process of Humic Acid production and fungi finish it.
So the live fast die young life style of the weed brings a lot more OM into the mix to be decomposed, humicified if you will. Now the stage is set for succeedingly higher plant species, we're starting to build the diversity needed for the first mycorrhizal plants. The word mycorrhizal stems from the greek words: Myco - fungus, Rhiza - roots, in succession the first mycorrhizal plants represent a stage.
Quick Note on Mycorrhizal Plant species: Mycorrhizal plants produce a special sugar that's needed to wake up mycorrhizal spores. This sugar is called trehalose, mycorrhizal plants secrete trehalose as an exudate. Trehalose cause the mycorrhiza spore to germinate and grow until it reaches the root system (rhizosphere). It actually moves between the individual cells of your roots. It looks for a good infection site invades than grows between the cell membrane and the cell wall causing it to invaginate. The resulting structure on the root is called an arbuscule. Different mycorrhizal fungi species produce different types of arbuscular structures. The fungal hyphae grow down with the fast growing root tips and out 6 inches in every direction. Mike and Eddie Allan at the Univ. of San Diego have shown that hyphae grows out over six inches in every direction from the root system. Think of the increase in soluble nutrient production once your plant becomes completely mycorrhizal? It solubilizes phosphorus from minerals, has the enzymes to pull the nitrogen out of the OM. It can pull all the colbolt, zinc, sodium, potassium, anything the plant might order. And yeah, it's like that. It's really a matter of the plant saying; (Dracula Voice) "mycorrhizal fungi come grow with me, here's some trehalose" The fungus says, "Yippee! My favorite sugar, let's party!" but once the arbuscules are formed the plant says, "OK, no more sugar for you, that is until you go get me this shopping list: N,P,K,C,CA,Z etc, etc, etc, everything the plant needs right when it needs it.
Back to succession and Mt. Saint Helens. Now 30 years later the succession of the land covered once buried in ash has now reached old growth forrest, the last stage in succession. Life drove that succession. 1st bacteria. What eats bacteria? Protozoa and fungi, what eats them? Nematodes<micro-arthropods<macro-arthropods<birds, small animals<bigger animals<biggest animals<man… That's who's eating who on top of and in the soil, the soil everything eventually returns to. What we really need to grasp though is how the fungi/bacteria (F: ratio dictates what the soil is selecting for. Click here to see a great chart detailing succession, and a discussion on how the soils C:N ratio and last disturbance control the F:B ratio. Succession of Plants as a Ratio of Fungi: Bacteria | Sustainable Growth A disturbance could be Mt. St. Helens, a mud slide, heavy use of salts, pesticides, tilling, compaction; freshly disturbed soil is always bacterial dominate. So freshly disturbed soil selects for weeds. In cannabis cultivation we want about an even F:B ratio.
TEA'S (AACT's)
What happens when we water with molasses or "Sweet" or whatever simple sugar many "organic gardeners" dump on their soil in a willy nilly fashion? We feed the bacteria, the bacteria scream, "yippee," then throw a huge party and suck up all the oxygen, fungi die off, and the cycle starts again. What happened? We have created a soil programed for high nitrate surges, so we're selecting for the lowest successional plants, i.e. weeds. Don't trip, we can fix the soil, we can even reverse soil compaction, we can use actively aerated compost tea to manipulate what our soil is selecting for. We can dial in the F:B ratio.
With tea's it's especially important to not over feed the bacteria, as soon as the dissolved oxygen level drops below 6ppms a milliliter we're inviting anaerobic conditions. An anaerobic tea will kill your plants, or in the least make them very sick. So don't "...just throw in some molasses..." we need to put in some fungal food too, and not too much of either. Or again; they'll suck up all the oxygen. Back to cannabis, with cannabis cultivation most start with disturbing the soil-digging a hole, mixing in amendments, or "Fox Farms", or "Roots Organic", or whatever mix you may happen to use. Indoor growers are esp. afflicted with this dilemma, whether they're in "smart pots" containers, running soils, whatever the media same problem. So we're going to need to inoculate that media with a tea that has the correct F:B ratio. How do we do that? How do we brew a tea with the right diversity? What do we feed it? All these questions and many more will be answered. But perhaps first we need to understand compost, especially how to make our own.
Side note: Potting soils, amendments, etc., almost always list an NPK ratio, this information is misleading and almost completely useless. We want to see the carbon:nitrogen (C:N) ratio.
Should we make our own compost first? Or jump right into teas using components we can purchase from various sources?

By Army 1st Lt. Lory StevensSpecial to American Forces Press Service
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, Dec. 18, 2008 Although far from home, a deployed soldier here will continue a long-standing holiday tradition with his family in Louisiana.
Every Christmas Eve, Army Lt. Col. Stephen Jeselink, Task Force Warrior deputy commander, reads the poem "The Night Before Christmas" to his family – a tradition he started 18 years ago when the family was stationed in Karlsruhe, Germany.
"It's a simple act, but it means so much to me and my family," Jeselink said.
Jeselink will be able to continue that tradition, thanks to the United Through Reading military program, which allows servicemembers to record themselves reading books and then send the DVD to their children back home. United Through Reading is, in part, a troop-support group that offers DVD services at deployed and some USO locations.
"Many Americans only see the USO centers in airports throughout the United States, but they're providing an incredible service to our servicemen and civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq, too," Jeselink said.
Jeselink said he is grateful for the program, particularly since this will be the first Christmas he and his wife, Barbara, will be apart in their 26 years of marriage.
"I felt like we needed to do this even though he is deployed," Barbara said.
She mailed her husband a copy of the poem by Clement Clarke Moore so he could record himself reading it at the USO here.
Barbara hopes to surprise her family by playing the recording of Jeselink after Christmas Eve dinner when the entire family gathers in the living room in front of the Christmas tree.
"Dad gets the book while Mom gives an envelope to everyone," son Stephen II said, adding that the envelopes may have money, gift cards or gifts inside.
"Dad usually sits with us in a circle and gives instructions on what to do with the envelopes. As he reads the story, every time he says the word 'the,' we pass the envelopes to the person on our right," he said.
"The best Christmas memory I have is sitting around the tree with my family, listening to my dad read the story, and watching his face light up every time he read the word 'the,'" his son Jarod said.
"He has such enthusiasm reading the story for us, it makes it all the more fun," daughter-in-law Stormy added.
The fun starts after Jeselink finishes the story. Everyone, beginning with the youngest, gets to exchange, if desired, an envelope with another family member. After everyone has had a chance to pass the envelope or keep it if they wish, everyone opens their envelope at the same time.
"It's special to be part of something that was started so many years ago," daughter-in-law Shelley said.
(Army 1st Lt. Lory Stevens serves in the Task Force Warrior public affairs office.)

Australian investigators are reviewing Rolls-Royce's quality control procedures as a probe into last November's uncontained Trent 900 engine failure on a Qantas Airways Airbus A380 continues.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), in an update on the 4 November 2010 incident released on 18 May, said it is studying how the engine manufacturer could have missed a defect in an oil feed tube, which had been identified as the cause behind an oil fire and the subsequent engine failure.
Investigations into the incident so far have showed that the defect had caused a section of the oil tube to thin out and crack, leading to an internal engine oil fire which weakened the intermediate pressure (IP) turbine disc. The disc then separated from the turbine shaft, puncturing the engine case and wing structure.
Together with the United Kingdom's Air Accident Investigation Branch and Rolls-Royce, the ATSB is "examining the circumstances and missed opportunities with the potential to have detected the reduced wall thickness and offset counter bore of the oil feed tube" before, during and after the manufacturing of the IP turbine module case.
The bureau is also reviewing the quality audits and quality assurance system as part of the manufacturing process and assessing how effective they are in detecting defects, it added.
Following the uncontained engine failure, Rolls-Royce initiated the removal of 53 Trent 900 engines from service due to concerns over the wall thickness of the oil feed tube.
As part of the probe into the incident, investigators and Airbus are also studying the A380 and the system damage that occurred as a result of the engine failure.
Tests using a flight simulator programme developed by Airbus have taken place at the Airbus facility in Toulouse, said the ATSB. "Those tests sought to establish the aircraft's handling capabilities with the simulated damaged fuel transfer system, damaged flight controls and lift augmentation devices, and damaged electrics and electronic systems having effect," it added.
"The simulation found that the aircraft had operated in 'normal control law', in which, regardless of a flight crew's input, computers prevent the exceedance of a predefined safe flight envelope," said the ATSB.
The bureau expects to finish the gathering of information for the investigation by end-July. It aims to complete analysis of that information by May 2012.
The A380 involved in the incident, registration VH-OQA, remains in Singapore "where repair schemes were being developed by Airbus and relevant components were being manufactured to facilitate that repair".

Boeing has signed a contract with India's Bharat Electronics (BEL) for additional work on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter programme.
The deal expands on a previous award placed in 2011, says Boeing. Under the contract, the Indian company will produce the Super Hornet's ground power panel, helmet vehicle interface stowage, as well as switch assembly and cockpit console panels.
BEL already produces a stowage panel for the aircraft's Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System connector cable, as well as an avionics cooling system fan test switch panel for a floodlight assembly.
The company also produces identification friend or foe interrogators and data links for the eight Boeing 737-based P-8I maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft ordered by the Indian navy in 2009.

Georgianne Nienaber: Feminism. It is almost an antiquated term in the United States, but to Salomon, it is her passion and her identity. She wraps her work in its tenets and infuses her actions with its meaning.
Haiti's Fayette Villagers Forgotten at Epicenter
Georgianne Nienaber: While Leogane is completely overrun with NGOs, Fayette gets visits from the occasional scientist, and the only camera lens focused on the village is aboard NASA's EO-1 satellite. Villagers told us they have not seen any aid workers since the quake. Nestled in fertile, natural surroundings along the Momance River, the local population is self-sufficient. They are not requesting money, food or water, but they do not want to be forgotten, either.

Happy 20th Birthday 808 State! At this very moment on some Pacific islands (e.g. Christmas Island) it's now already the 08 / 08 / 08. The last place where the sun will set into the Pacific will be Hawaii, the 808 state, 24 hours later.
So what is everyone doing to celebrate? Feels a bit strange now, I've been planning this date for two years and have the day off and now I'm not doing anything. Still, the alarm will be set for 08:08 tomorrow morning
I'm hoping Graham will supply us with a download treat.
Those who are going to Jacks, have fun! I'll do the post celebrations next week when the 808 DJs visit Amsterdam (Megadog).

It is interesting how this story, and several commentators, indicate that the Volt is innovative and technologically advanced. I suppose the innovation comes from using this type of propulsion in a car. But the "technology" is the same as that used in diesel locomotives. An electric engine powered by a fossil fuel burning generator. The difference is the bank of batteries giving the possibility of a short, no fuel, run. It was a concept that could be pushed to the market fairly fast and at least show that the OEM's are doing something different. If taxes are going to be used, they should be used to subsidize actual advanced technology, such as clean diesel, CNG, or fuel cell.
Good luck with that. Without the national chain backing, no frequent business travelers will stay. Spending 100+ nights a year in hotels, I will always opt for the chains for the rewards program.
I am fairly certain that the school's lawyer did inform them that it was possible the buyer would not use the properties as they indicated they would. I am also sure the lawyer advised the school to include some sort provision to the sales contract that Mr. Peterson has outlined above. However, that would have made the market value of the properties much less. The board took a chance and accepted more money for a no strings contract, hoping the buyer to stick to their word.
My last electric bill I used 771 kWh. Cost was $0.112341 per kWh. So the cost is more like $1.80 to fully charge. Trust me, I am not a big fan of this "technology" either, but the cost is not quite that high. Here is another look. The Volt is about the same size as the Chevy Cruze. The Curze claims 40mpg. The Volt costs $1.80 for the first 25 miles. The Cruze costs $2.50 for that same 25 miles (at 4.00 gal.). But the Cruze purchase price is about half.
"meaning some element of professional judgment will come into play."
So really it is a pretty useless "law" Maybe they will give the kid a break, but not likely. And certainly anyone standing within several hundred feet of the sick kid will be ticketed. MIP tickets are a HUGE money making proposition for the communities around a college campus. I was told that the cops in East Lansing will stop females who are carrying their shoes as probable cause.
Don't the left's alternatives to Fox already include CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC...?
Strange. I have been working in Germany the last couple of weeks. People bring their dogs everywhere. Trains, buses, Resturants.....no one seems to mind as it appears to be normal.
"cannot be possessed by anyone younger than 18" (in reference to pepper spray)
Great, so for rapists it is open season on minors since our state will not allow them to protect themselves. Who comes up with this crap? As the saying goes "I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."
B'wana - I did. Great word, thanks.
They're all slimy and will continue to be. Despite Jeff's best efforts, nothing will change. Why doesn't the OWS group direct their efforts towards this type stuff instead? I guess it is all right with them when it is one of their own bending them over and giving it.
Once again the breed is the very first word in the headline. ANY other breed and it would either have not been reported or the breed would be mentioned in the body of the article, if at all. This is why idiots like bigredgum make stupid statements like that. The press has pounded into their heads that Pit-bull = bad, regardless of the circumstances.
The same ones who "donate" to Kwame's various causes.
BTW - does anyone else think she bears a striking resemblance to Patrick Ewing?
Have to see how the details work out. I have a 64 gal cart and with 4 adults it is full each week. Sometimes I must leave more and have to tag it. What happens then? Suppose I could go with the largest bin and skip a week when not full. I also fill the recycle bin every two weeks. You are not allowed to leave extra like a box filled with other boxes. Tried this and got a love letter. So then I must tag it and have that hauled with the trash. Just moved into the city and I think they do a fine job with the trash/recycle and yard waste.
"Officers arrived and took possession of the victim's handgun."
Great! Now this idiot is free to come back and finish the job and she has no way to stop him.
Don't really care about the billboard. But I would like to see this group strap on a set and place this same message on I94 in Dearborn and replace the word God with Allah. Then go on a media blitz and have interviews with local reporters while standing by the thing. Finally, they should have a panel discussion about the topic right there in Dearborn. We will see just how tolerant those folks are about this message.
Have seen Asadoorian in action. A complete waste skin. She will let a rapist walk as long as you kiss her a$$. But if you do not, and were caught with a joint in your pocket, three days in county lock up.
AA - three sq. miles, surrounded by reality.
For MSU and U of M, the incoming freshman class had the highest number of applicants EVER in their histories. I asked the MSU admissions guy why this was. He said basically it is the poor economy, forces more to decide on a college education. An interesting paradox, a poor economy creates a huge opportunity for the colleges. But the cost for MSU this school year is about $23,000. I asked how these families can handle this. He kind of shrugged is shoulders and said "they find a way." I am in the same boat. Having to support a family on a single income, there was little left for a college fund. I feel like the US govt, I will borrow the lion's share for now and see what happens.
Good point. I read the other day U of M had the largest number of applicants ever for the upcoming freshman class (MSU did as well). I think 14% admission rate. I wonder how many of those incoming student's parents had to pull strings with people in the know to get little "Johnny" into U of M, even though he did not quite measure up as compared to other applicants.
Sorry Marc. We have a ziggy too and I would feel terrible if he were gone.

BALTIMORE – The Orioles insist they're not worried about Dylan Bundy. The 20-year-old right-hander with the seemingly unlimited future hasn't pitched this season, and after his elbow didn't feel right when tossing a ball on Monday, the Orioles sent him to the noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Gulf Breeze, Fla.
The injury is described as a flexor mass strain.
"He requested a second opinion," manager Buck Showalter said. "He still doesn't feel just right."
Bundy, the fourth overall pick in 2011, pitched in two games for the Orioles last September after pitching in Delmarva, Frederick and Bowie. He was scheduled to start the minor league season with the Baysox, but he was shut down early this month.
"We hope to find out that [Andrews] feels the same way that our people do who have looked at it," Showalter said.
"He took his MRI with him. I don't know if Dr. Andrews will take another one. We're very supportive of it."
His most recent MRI found no damage in the elbow, and the Orioles say that they're not sure what the cause of the injury was. Showalter thought it occurred after he was optioned to Bowie on March 16.
"I'm sure Dylan would have an answer. We talked to him about it. I don't think there's something definitive on it and it depends on who you asked and who you talk to. We're more interested in getting it resolved right now," Showalter said.
"You always look at something like that and say, OK, was there something that did cause it to make sure it doesn't happen again?"

Reproduction U.S. WWII Tanker Jacket is rated out of 5 by 4.Rated 2 out of 5 by Rafael from Not great. It is a sturdy jacket, and it looks good. The lining, however, is a mix of wool and viscose (unlike the product description), which s VERY itchy. I would expect that of a $30-40 jacket, but this one is quite expensive.Date published: 2014-11-11Rated 4 out of 5 by TED19EK from Good quality. It's a good solid jacket. Well made from what I can tell so far. It kept me very warm in 50 degree weather with just a T-shirt on underneath. Yes the wool was a little scratchy on my arms at first but you get used to it. If you were in the army you know what I mean. Being an ex-tanker I wanted a nostalgic tanker jacket. This was the best one for the price that I could find. Other sites were too pricey.My only criticism, and it's a small one, is that it felt like it rode a tad high in the back. I know the jacket is supposed to come down to around your waist or pistolbelt line but it felt like it was riding up in the back just a bit. I take a size 40 usually so I ordered the 40 and it fit perfectly across the shoulders and chest and arm length was good. The jacket length in the front was ok also. It's just the back that bugged me a little but that could just be my imagination. I'm 1/4" shy of 6' so if this came in a 40 long it would've been perfect. I'm going to try the next size up to see how it fits then write another review.Date published: 2014-11-07Rated 4 out of 5 by Scott from Good quality, good value Everything on it is pretty nice- canvas, zipper, patch, wool. Liner seems to be actual wool, so it's a bit pokey/scratchy. Zipper works good. Sizing seems about right, if not slightly oversized. Only complaint I have would be the collar. If you want to zip it all the way up it's fine and will keep you warm, but if not It seems to want to stand up when it should lay down. I haven't washed it yet, so that might fix that too. I don't have the expertise to comment on how true it is to the original tanker jacket. Good value for the price in my opinion.Date published: 2014-10-09Rated 4 out of 5 by BRENT from The WWII Tanker Jacket is high quality for the price. There were only two issues with the jacket. The first is the Rib-knit waistband, cuffs and collar are not the correct color. They are OD#3 instead of OD#7. Second, the zipper fastens on the wrong side (European Style). Both of the issues can be overlooked because the price is so low and the craftsmanship is high.Date published: 2013-12-13

Charlie Watts...
Born on June 2, 1941, in London, England. For more than four decades, Charlie Watts has been a prominent figure in the world of rock and roll as the longtime drummer of the Rolling Stones. He grew up in Wembley near London as the son of a truck driver.
The Rolling Stones scored their first No. 1 hit in the United States in 1965 with "Satisfaction." A string of other successful songs quickly followed such as "Paint It Black" and "Ruby Tuesday." The "World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band" continued to enjoy enormous popularity for the next two decades.
While the rest of the band was cultivating their image as rock music's bad boys, Watts was settling down. He married Shirley Ann Shephard in 1964, and the couple welcomed a daughter named Seraphina four years later.
Around the age of ten, Watts discovered jazz and blues music; Miles Davis and John Coltrane were two of his early influences. He started playing music on his own a few years later, converting a banjo into a snare drum. But music was just a side interest for Watts at the time. He left school at 16, and then studied at the Harrow School of Art.
By the 1980s, Watts found time to pursue projects outside the Rolling Stones. He returned to his first love, jazz, by forming a number of different groups, including a 32-piece band called the Charlie Watts Orchestra. Around that same time, Watts worked with early Rolling Stones member Ian Stewart in the band Rocket 88.
In the early 1990s, Watts released several albums with another group, the Charlie Watts Quintet, including a tribute to Charlie Parker. He joined forces with drummer Jim Keltner for 2000's Charlie Watts/Jim Keltner Project, which covered a broad spectrum of musical styles. In 2004, he put out an album with Charlie Watts and the Tentet, another jazz ensemble. Watts, a longtime smoker, was also diagnosed with throat cancer that year. He received treatment, and made a full recovery.
Watts continues to record and play with the Rolling Stones and expects to stay with the band until Mick Jagger or Keith Richards decides to retire

BOSTON-- The University of New Hampshire women's volleyball team was picked first in the America East conference coaches poll on Thursday, Aug. 29.
The Wildcats received four of a possible seven first-place votes and edged conference rival Northeastern University by two points with 46. Northeastern received three first place votes and tallied 44 points to capture second place in the poll. This is the fourth time in seven years that the Wildcats have been tabbed the America East preseason favorite heading into the year since head coach Jill Hirschinger arrived in 1996.
Hirschinger enters her seventh year as the head coach of the UNH volleyball program and the program enters its 18th year at the varsity level. During that time, she has posted 118 victories, which is most in school history, and she currently ranks 13th of the NCAA wins list with 527 career coaching wins.
Senior captain Lauren Knight (Centerville, Mass.) and junior outside hitter Alyson Coler (Monte Sereno, Calif.) return as the Wildcats' statistical leaders from the 2001 season. Knight, an America East honorable mention selection in 2001, ranked second on the 'Cats squad with 304 kills and ranked seventh in America East with a .277 hitting percentage. Coler, an All-Conference and All-Tournament selection last season, led the team with 429 kills and only needs 304 kills to become the school's third member of the 1,000 kill club.
The Wildcats return four of six starters from last year's team that owned a 18-9 overall record and a 11-3 mark in America East play.
UNH opens its season Friday, Aug. 30 with a 7 p.m. match vs. No. 13 ranked University of Utah in Salt Lake City. On Saturday, Aug. 31 the Wildcats face No. 12 University of the Pacific (10 a.m.) and at 5 p.m. they take on Murray State in their last game of the Utah Classic.

A cage fight between two young boys that took place in Lancashire has been described as 'very barbaric' and 'disturbing' and was subjected to a police probe.
The boys, aged eight and nine, were taking part in a wrestling match in front of 250 adults at Greenlands Labour Club in Preston on 10 September.
A video of the fight was published on YouTube and showed that neither child wore protective padding or head gear and they were also shown receiving medical attention.
The promoter of the event, Marcus Holt, claimed that the boys were not in any danger, saying: "There are no kicks, there are no punches, so there's no need for things like head guards and other wear like that. With the children, it's all amateur bouts, it's all demonstration grappling submissions."
One of the boys' fathers said: "He loves the sport. It's not one bit dangerous, it's a controlled sport."
But the NSPCC believe that young children should not be involved in contact sport such as fighting. Head of child protection awareness Chris Cloke said: "We would strongly discourage parents from letting their children take part in this kind of fighting.
"It's quite disturbing that some of those involved in the bouts were as young as eight, an age when they are still developing, physically and mentally.
"The organisers of these activities should think very carefully before allowing children to be involved when they are egged on to inflict violence."
Lanacashire Police investigated the event to see "whether there were issues surrounding the safety of children".
Their spokesman said: "There is no issue with the club's licence to stage such events. We were aware that the mixed martial arts night was taking place but we were not aware that children were taking part."
On seeing the video of the fight, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt described it as "very barbaric".
He said: "We don't want to discourage children from doing sport, and particularly young boys with all the social problems that we were thinking about in the summer.
"We have to recognise that sport has a very, very important role but I think with this particular sport, I think some people will ask some questions."

The Alchemy of Happiness II
The Alchemy of Happiness II
The Alchemy of Happiness
By Imam Muhammad Al-Ghazali
IT is a well-known saying of the Prophet that "He who knows himself, knows God"; that is, by contemplation of his own being and attributes man arrives at some knowledge of God. But since many who contemplate themselves do not find God, it follows that there must be some special way of doing so.
As a matter of fact, there are two methods of arriving at this knowledge, but one is so abstruse that it is not adapted to ordinary intelligences, and therefore is better left unexplained.
The other method is as follows: When a man considers himself he knows that there was a time when he was non-existent, as it is written in the Qur'an: "Does it not occur to man that there was a time when he was nothing?" Further, he knows that he was made out of a drop of water in which there was neither intellect, nor hearing, sight, head, hands, feet, etc. From this it is obvious that, whatever degree of perfection he may have arrived at, he did not make himself, nor can he now make a single hair. How much more helpless, then, was his condition when he was a mere drop of water!
Thus, as we have seen in the first chapter, he finds in his own being reflected in miniature, so to speak, the power, wisdom, and love of the Creator. If all the sages of the world were assembled, and their lives prolonged for an indefinite time, they could not effect any improvement in the construction of a single part of the body.
For instance, in the adaptation of the front and side-teeth to the mastication of food, and in the construction of the tongue, salivating glands, and throat for its deglutition, we find a contrivance which cannot be improved upon.
Similarly, whoever considers his hand, with its five fingers of unequal lengths, four of them with three joints and the thumb with only two, and the way in which it can be used for grasping, or for carrying, or for smiting, will frankly acknowledge that no amount of human wisdom could better it by altering the number and arrangement of the fingers, or in any other way.
When a man further considers how his various wants of food, lodging, etc., are amply supplied from the storehouse of creation, he becomes aware that God's mercy is as great as His power and wisdom, as He has Himself said, "My mercy is greater than My wrath," and according to the Prophet's saying, "God is more tender to His servants than a mother to her suckling-child."
Thus from his own creation man comes to know God's existence, from the wonders of his bodily frame God's power and wisdom, and from the ample provision made for his various needs God's love. In this way the knowledge of oneself becomes a key to the knowledge of God. Not only are man's attributes a reflection of God's attributes, but the mode of existence of man's soul affords some insight into God's mode of existence. That is to say, both God and the soul are invisible, indivisible, unconfined by space and time, and outside the categories of quantity and quality; nor can the ideas of shape, colour, or size attach to them. People find it hard to form a conception of such realities as are devoid of quality and quantity, etc., but a similar difficulty attaches to the conception of our everyday feelings, such as anger, pain, pleasure, or love. They are thought-concepts, and cannot be cognised by the senses; whereas quality, quantity, etc., are sense-concepts. Just as the ear cannot take cognisance of colour, nor the eye of sound, so, in conceiving of the ultimate realities, God and the soul, we find ourselves in a region in which sense-concepts can bear no part. So much, however, we can see, that, as God is Ruler of the universe, and, being Himself beyond space and time, quantity and quality, governs things that are so conditioned, so that soul rules the body and its members, being itself invisible, indivisible, and unlocated in any special part. For how can the indivisible be located in that which is divisible?
From all this we see how true is the saying of the Prophet, "God created man in His own likeness." And, as we arrive at some knowledge of God's essence and attributes from the contemplation of the soul's essence and attributes, so we come to understand God's method of working and government and delegation of power to angelic forces, etc., by observing how each of us governs his own little kingdom.
