What in the world makes you think that this law will have the State breaking Federal law? There's no Federal law requiring the States to adopt a criminal code that the Feds dictate. When this law passes Massachusetts will join 17 other States and the District of Columbia which have medicinal cannabis patient protection laws. The first law passed was California's Compassionate Use Act which has been the law for more than 15 years. The Compassionate Use Act has been in front of the SCOTUS 4 times and they've not seen fit to toss it out.
Those who claim the protection of the law will be breaking Federal law. The State will not. The State won't be able to protect those people from being prosecuted by the Feds, but neither does the law pretend to offer such protection. Perhaps you'd like to take a stab at explaining why evasion of Federal income tax is perfectly legal under the criminal code of the State of Massachusetts, and why the Feds don't get bent out of shape over that?
What a stupendous, earth shattering, total non-event. Was there even a possibility that Hiedi and her henchmen would have allowed this to go to a vote with even a single Bay Stater unaware that it meant that patients will have to get their medicine from somewhere? I wonder, does Heidi know that in the States with no defined retail distribution chain that her counterparts in those States complain of that lack of definition?
"It is difficult to get a [woman] to understand something when [her] salary depends on [her] not understanding it."
~~ Upton Sinclair
Smoking is not required to gain the benefits of cannabis, whether for medicinal need or just for enjoyment. Any potential health hazards due to smoking are not the hazards of cannabis, but of smoking.
Vaporization is proven safe, less expensive, and preferred by patients over smoking by a margin of 7:1 in peer reviewed research published in 2007. http://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=149:vaporization-as-a-qsmokelessq-cannabis-delivery-system&catid=41:research-studies&Itemid=135
Why in the world do people come up with these ridiculous fantasies about some kind of unfettered free for all post re-legalization?
The choices are not binary. It isn't either we have summary execution of anyone thought to be involved with (some) drugs or we're forced to allow the sales reps from the heroin factory to set up promotional displays and hand out free samples in the lobbies of our elementary schools.
But I'm certain that if you're OK with equalizing the laws of cannabis and tobacco that we could have that done in less than a week. But that's not your true ulterior motive, now is it?
So why aren't people smoking opium and chewing coca leaves instead of processing white powders in clandestine laboratories??
Here's a hint....if you need a lab to extract the drug it ceases to be part of a natural plant. Oh, and BTW, you are aware that heroin is semi-synthetic, right?
Smoking is not required to gain the benefits of cannabis, whether for medicinal need or just for enjoyment. Any potential health hazards due to smoking are not the hazards of cannabis, but of smoking.

You've got no supporting evidence for your baseless assertions. As a matter of fact all supporting evidence says you're wrong. Where's the increase in youth use that the Ignorati claimed was going to happen if the 2008 decrim bill passed? The idiots in New Hampshire just voted down decrim on the same baseless claim. They didn't seem to care that youth use in NH is slightly higher than in Massachusetts.
Don't you think that public policy should be fact based, rather than based on irrational, easily disproved nonsense?
What in the world prompts people to ask such absurd questions? Why is it that people like you even have the fantasy that re-legalization will be an unfettered free for all?
People can't forget facts of which they are ignorant.
"Never let the facts get in the way of disseminating an effective piece of hysterical rhetoric."
~~ The motto of the Know Nothing prohibitionist
Right, and if we were on the verge of changing the Federal law you'd just say "making it legal at the Federal level is pointless if it's not legal at the State level, State agents will still swoop in and bust people." The only way to obviate your argument would be simultaneous repeal of the laws of all 50 States, the District of Columbia, the US Territories and the Federal Government and that's simple absurdity.
BTW, did you know that Massachusetts repealed State level prohibition laws in 1930 by a ballot initiative? That's 3 full years before ratification of the 21st Amendment.
The Federal Government is the sum total of its parts. It's simply absurd to claim that changing the State law won't make a difference.
Yeah, what he said, Paul McCartney was a lousy songwriter.
Hogwash. Neither do I want that list of people drunk on the job. Smoking a joint does not cause a person to be forever impaired afterward. You're argument is a false dilemma fallacy.
You must not be looking very hard. Here's an article from the current edition of Family Practice News.
You might look into what the Israelis are doing with medicinal cannabis. In that country they don't confuse the practice of medicine with politics.
That would be because it's the right thing to do. Of course that's my opinion and comes from the fact that when I growing up my parents emphasized that the needs of the sick take a very high priority. I used to believe that such a belief was a priority almost everyone shared until the discussion over medicinal cannabis patient protection laws made me understand that there are an awful lot of cruel, selfish people who think their petty desires, irrational fears and prejudice are a priority over the needs of the sick.
My wife woke up ill this morning. After she convinced me that she's really very ill by exhibiting actual symptoms I said that I was really worried, and asked her if she wanted me to call a politician in for a medical consultation. But she's still not sold on the assertion that politicians are better qualified to practice medicine and insisted on seeing an M.D. Women!
Now I'm going to have to lobby her to at least get a second opinion from a politician. Even if they can't cure her, they can at least pass a law which would do so. I may have to put my foot down and insist. After all, it's for her own good.
But seriously, what about the children? What kind of message does it send the children if she lallygags and acts like a layabout all day without consulting a politician? Doesn't anyone care about the children?
It's amazing how many people have "seen the damage" cause by cannabis, yet we still can't find anyone that suffered that damage. But the motto of the Know Nothing prohibitionist is "never let the facts stand in the way of disseminating an effective piece of hysterical rhetoric" and memd's baseless claims are consistent with that motto.
There's over a million Californians authorized to grow medicinal cannabis by the State of California, give or take 100,000. There's no central registry so it has to be an estimate.
On August 25, 2011 at 7:34AM 101puppies regurgitated: "What life factors drive people to get high and drunk? Prohibition of mind altering substances might succeed if we remove the conditions that drive people to consume these products."
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
A better question is, "What life factors drive people to not mind their own business, and worry about people that like to get high and drunk? Getting people to mind their own business just might succeed if we remove the conditions that drive people to meddle in the private affairs of other people."
One of my personal, all time favorite activities in life is minding my own business. I sure would like to get the Know Nothing prohibitionists to give it a try. I think they just might have fun doing it.

Gear Question
Heading to the UK for a 2-week holiday;...
Heading to the UK for a 2-week holiday; will use Osprey Porter 46 and travel by foot/public transport/train. Prefer to use Sea To Summit pack cover, based on other recommendations I've read online. Won't have tent or gear attached to top of pack, so a tall rain cover isn't needed. Anyone know what size Sea To Summit pack cover works, from experience? I'm tempted to go with small...
Phil Maher
Yes, Anne, the small cover will work if you have no gear strapped to the outside of the pack. For reference: the Porter 46 is 2800 cubic inches.

Courtenay Semel, best known for seducing Lindsay Lohan long before Sam Ronson and for her Emmy-nominated work* on E!'s Filthy Rich Cattle Drive, has checked into rehab. Semel is the daughter of former Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel and ex-girlfriend of Tila Tequila, and her pops recently cut her off after she assaulted a security guard. In January, she allegedly beat up her current girlfriend, heiress Casey Johnson, and set her hair on fire. Just the kinda sh*t that turns Lindsay on!
Her rep says, "Courtenay has indeed checked into rehab . . . She's emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted. She is now taking responsibility for her actions and is excited for her chance to start over." She'll apparently be focused on her self-healing for three months. [NYP. Photo: GettyImages]

Lenovo's CEO,Yang Yuanqing, expects the market will gradually move away from entertainment-focused tablets in favor for convertible PCs, which he said can strike a balance between the functions of touch-based tablets and the productivity of a laptop.
"From our competitor's recent earnings announcement, you can find that the emotional attachment to tablets has gone down," Yuanqing said.
While he did not name the specific company, Yang appeared to be referring to Apple and how it sold 14 million iPads in the last quarter, a figure well below Wall Street's projections.
During the quarter, Apple also saw its tablet market share drop to 50.4 percent, according to research firm IDC. But Apple's iPad sales are expected to pick up with the release of the iPad Mini and the fourth-generation iPad, IDC added.

Ask a Bartender: What's One Bottle That Will Up Your Cocktail Game?
No home bar will ever be as well-stocked as a professional one. But there are some bottles that can let you make dozens of drinks, instantly upping your cocktail game. More
No home bar will ever be as well-stocked as a professional one. But there are some bottles that can let you make dozens of drinks, instantly upping your cocktail game. More
A lot of us cocktail enthusiasts are occasional at-home bartenders, trying our own hands at mixing up drinks. But we could all do with a few tips from the pros. We asked bartenders across the country: What do most amateur bartenders get wrong? More
Well spirits are, in a way, the bar's default: when you ask for a vodka-soda or rum and Coke, it's the well vodka or well rum that usually ends up in your drink. More
We asked bartenders across the country: How do you prevent (or, barring that, cure) a hangover? More
Fernet and Cynar, Negronis and Boulevardiers—bitter amari, and the cocktails that showcase them, are all the rage these days. But to drinkers unaccustomed to those powerfully bitter flavors, a first sip can be off-putting. More
There are obvious perks to being a bartender—but, just as with any job, there are definitely downsides. More
As with all professions, bartenders have insight into their workplaces that the rest of us can't match. But given that the rest of us hang out at their workplace, we might benefit from learning a tip or two. We asked bartenders across the country: What's one bartender secret that customers don't know? More
For every intricate cocktail that ends up on a menu at your favorite bar, odds are there were a dozen more drinks that didn't make the cut—some outright failures. More
Many of the best bartenders are constantly designing new drinks, revisiting old ones, and revamping the bar's menu. But every once in a while, there's a concoction that feels truly exciting. More
Would you date a bartender? For some, it comes down to one big risk. If you get together with the bartender at your favorite neighborhood joint, and then things don't work out, you may have to break up with the bar. And there are only so many great bars out there. More
Ever had a terrible Valentine's Day date? We bet that these bartenders have witnessed worse from behind the bar. More
At Serious Drinks, we see more flavored spirits than you could possibly imagine. Green tea vodka. Cinnamon-roll vodka. Cherry-flavored SoCo. We'd just about always prefer a fresh infusion to a bottled concoction, but we're always looking for a diamond in the rough. So we asked a number of bartenders: Are there any flavored spirits that you actually use? More
Some bartenders fuel their shifts with espresso —others, with beer and shots of Fernet. What is your bartender drinking behind the bar? We asked, they answered. More
We asked professionals across the country about the most essential tools for a home bar. Here's what they recommended. More
While winter might not have fresh peaches or strawberries, and might not be the best time for your most refreshing cocktails, there's plenty to love about the season. More
This time of year, nothing tastes better than a hot toddy—or spiked cider, or mulled wine, or anything else that properly warms your insides. We asked bartenders across the country about their favorite hot cocktails. More
While plenty of holidays bring out lively crowds, nothing tops New Year's Eve for alcohol-fueled shenanigans. And the bartenders on-duty that night see it all. We asked bartenders around the country for their favorite New Year's Eve stories; here's what they had to say. More
Hang out in bars long enough, and you'll start to hear the bartender throwing around all sorts of interesting words and phrases. And I'm not talking about the Tagalog profanity she picked up while backpacking through the Philippines; I mean the lexicon of bartending. Today, a glossary of the secret language of bartenders. More
While many of our favorite bartenders have long and storied careers, they all got their start somewhere—and most entry-level gigs weren't too glamorous. More
When you put hours and hours of effort into a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, you deserve the perfect drink before digging in to turkey and stuffing. What's the best drink to sip before Thanksgiving dinner? We asked bartenders across the country. More

"The tantalizing marinade teams cayenne, hot pepper sauce, ginger and lime juice to give your tastebuds a good 'kicking'!"

3 tablespoons
fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons
white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon
dried basil
1/8 teaspoon
dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon
dried parsley
1 teaspoon
hot pepper sauce
1 pinch
cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons
vegetable oil
fresh swordfish fillets
OMG!!!! Please try this, people! the only change i made was using white wine (sauvg blanc) instead of vinegar, and i omitted the parsely. everything else i doubled (well, except the hotsauce & cayenne b/c of the hubs taste preferences. me, i'd of loved a kick but i love the man more...) then realized i needed more marinade due to the amount of fish i had (1.50 pounds) so i doubled again. marinaded the swordfish for just over 90 minutes and OH. MY. GAWD!! i personally could not stop raving about how delicious the flavor was even though i was the host. but everyone else was raving as well so i was only joining the chorus. truly the best swordfish i have ever, ever had.
This just did not work for us. The recipe stated to marinate for at least 10 minutes and preferably up to 3 hours. I marinated about 2 hours and when I took the fish out to cook the lime juice had starting "cooking" the outside of the fish (like a ceviche). Once I cooked it the outside ended up a little tough and had a too strong lime/vinegar taste. I won't make this again.

I tried this tonight with swordfish steaks from Trader Joes and marinated them for about 2 hours. I added 4 cloves of garlic I had 4 steaks, and also upped all of the spices by 1/2 of what was called for. These were extremely tasty and tender! It was a hit with the family, the flavors all came together perfectly and gave the fish a taste that wasn't over powering on anything. I'll keep this for quick weeknight dinners as what I was looking for tonight for a long time. I'm so surprised this doesn't have more ratings, it's not always about the ratings, it's about the ingredients and if they fit your likes!!!
Absolutely fantastic - the best fish dish I have had in quite a while. I had to make some substitutions, though: (a)didn't have lime, so used lemon juice instead (my wife doesn't like lime anyway), (b) didn't have white wine vinegar, used white cooking wine, (c) didn't have ground ginger, used fresh chopped ginger, about 2 teaspoon, (d) didn't have hot pepper souce, used more cayenne - maybe 1 teaspoon, (e) didn't have thyme, used marjoram instead. This last change worried me a little bit, as the two herbs are quite different - but it worked out quite well. Next time, I am going to eliminate ginger (it seemed to be unnecessary) and maybe increase pepper/cayenne to add more zing to it.
Best swordfish recipe I've ever used...I was skeptical at first, but the flavors came together just right. I added garlic to the marinade and omitted the salt just for preference. Will be using this recipe again.
Used this recipe over mahi-mahi and it was delicious! Substituted olive oil for veggie and red wine vinegar for white - my husband and I LOVED it! Will definitely be making this again - thanks for the recipe!
Very good marinade. Only comment is that the lime juice is a very dominant flavor. I will definately use again, but will reduce the amount a little so it isn't as strong. (only marinated it for 30 minutes). Thanks for the post.
THIS WAS YUMMY! instead of the white wine vinigar i used red. For the hot sause i used franks red hot. it marinated about an hour. served with wild rice and grilled green squash. I would definently make this again

I am all sober now. Still love the tigers and will pull for them even harder. These are the real character building times. I wonder who will be the ones, coaches and players, who will step up to lead.
I agree with those who point out that we miss last year's leaders. It is also difficult to motivate on the year after a championship especially with so many distractions over the summer. Tigers do not need any excuses, but we fans need perspective to set realistic expectations.

Vanessa Hudgens: Michael Caine 'Kind of Hits On Me'
"We trained with Navy Seals. We were machines, you could NOT f**k with us," she said.
As for her on-again off-again romance with Zac Efron, the starlet laments, "We're still friends. Who knows what the future will bring. We're figuring this out."
Read more from Vanessa Hudgens' Details interview after the jump!
On working with Michael Caine for the sequel to 'Journey to the Center of the Earth': "He's uh-mazing. Not only is he uh-mazingly, stupidly talented, but he still kind of hits on me. All the time. If it was anybody else, I'd be like, 'Who the hell do you think you are?' But because it's Michael Caine, I'm like, 'Sock it to me more, baby, come on!' I.Frickin.Love.Him."
On talking to Quentin Tarantino at a post-Oscar party:
"....probably after a few drinks I told him, 'We've gotta do something together.' ... Slowly, I've gained balls. I used to be very shy. Nothing has happened with Tarantino yet, but I definitely tried to plant my seed. Hopefully he won't look back and think, 'Oh my God. That crazy b***h.'"

Violence and Western Civilization
Israel's slaughter of over 1900 Palestinians in Gaza, by far and away most of whom were civilians, got me thinking about Western civilization. Mahatma Gandhi is often cited as responding to a question about Western civilization saying he thought it would be a good idea. However, recent research suggests Gandhi likely didn't make this quip.
Regarding Western civilization though, there are many impressive accomplishments such as the Renaissance, wonderful arts, tremendous scientific discoveries and medical advances, and the great ideas of liberty and human rights. However, these advances are countered by events such as the Spanish Inquisition, slavery, Western colonial conquest and butchery in Africa, Asia and the Americas, US genocide of the American Indians, the Belgian robbery of and murderous campaign in the Congo Free State, WWI with its almost 14 million deaths, and the Jim Crow racism in the US.
Even if we only examine events since 1940, the Nazi Holocaust killed over 11 million people, including about 6 million Jews. WWII resulted in over 60 million deaths. War crimes such as the fire bombing of cities were followed by the unconscionable US use of atomic bombs against Japan on August 6th and August 9th, 1945.
The use of nuclear weapons eventually led to the mad policy of mutual assured destruction between the US and the USSR that threatened the entire world with destruction. That insane policy is still in play today, now between the US and Russia.
In 1956, Britain, France and Israel ganged up to attack Egypt. Even the US was outraged by this obvious war crime and forced these three aggressors to withdraw from Egyptian territory.
The French used terror campaigns in an effort to retain colonies in Vietnam and Algeria, but the indigenous populations finally defeated them, dealing another blow to Western imperialism. The French defeats were soon followed by the incredibly destructive US bombing campaign as well as the aerial spraying of Agent Orange in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Despite these horrific crimes and the killing of about 3 million Vietnamese and who knows how many Laotians and Cambodians, the US was forced to withdraw in defeat from Vietnam.
More recently, the blatantly illegal 2003 attack on Iraq led by the US and Britain and the November 2004 attack on Fallujah by the US stand out as particularly hideous and shameful acts. Note that these war crimes against Iraq set the stage for much of the current violence in the Middle East.
Israel's latest attack on essentially defenseless Palestinians as well as its merciless siege against Gaza simply adds to the list of monstrous war crimes. Shamefully, the US and its Western puppets didn't call for sanctions on Israel to stop the massacre of Palestinians that was occurring before their eyes. In addition, they took no action to force Israel to life its illegal siege. Instead the US rearmed Israel. Interestingly there were no discussions of any sanctions on the US for rearming Israel, the occupying force with a long track record of violations of human rights and international law.
While most of the Western political and religious leaders, especially Jews, were silent or supported Israeli crimes, the razing of Gaza and the barbaric attacks on civilians continued. Making matters worse, by its failure to challenge the Israeli misrepresentation of events, the US corporate-controlled media helped to keep a lid on the growth of US public opposition to the massacre of Palestinians.
Ellen Cantarow, a noted Jewish writer who reported on Israel and the West Bank for a number of US publications from 1979-1989, captured the situation very well when she wrote in reaction to the carnage in Jenin in 2002: "I am filled with a mix of grief, helplessness, despair and anger as Israel, pretending to act in my name and using the Nazi holocaust against the Jews to exonerate its crimes, proceeds with a clear effort to obliterate the economy, the social, political and cultural institutions, and the entire infrastructure of the Palestinian people. Those who do not speak out against the abominations of these horrors are complicit by their silence. Those who exonerate or apologize for Israel as it commits them are guilty by association."
Unfortunately it does not appear that either the US or Israel have any desire or see any reason to change their behavior. These two nations still act as if their might makes right and they don't seem to feel any obligation to comply with international law. Their actions, and the complicity of other Western nations in these crimes, powerfully call into question the whole concept of the rule of law.
One could also add the economic violence that the West has used against the Third World to maintain it as their colonies. The IMF, the World Bank, and the trade treaties and their enforcement through the WTO, may actually do more long-term harm than the horrific violence and destruction done by military attacks. Both the aggression, often thinly disguised as humanitarian intervention, and the economic warfare by the West strongly suggest that Western civilization is not a model to be admired or copied.
In closing, Martin Luther King, Jr. said: "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." This statement is particularly fitting for both the US and Israel.

we have right to do as a human !!
LOL! at "Even the US" (paragraph 5). The US is among the worst offenders, admittedly mostly because it's been by far the most powerful for most of the past 100 years. The US has just had the best propagandists, with the result that we regularly get this kind of subliminal presumption of basic American decency even on the part of critics like Mr Forthofer.
The biggest problem the world has today is excessive US power – it and its satellite states such as the UK, France, Israel, Saudi Arabia have been directly responsible for the disasters in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Ukraine, to name only the most recent and most obvious.
There is no civilization in western civilization, as is said to exist. Depending on how you define western civilization, if is about the social political performance of certain governing system, there was a civilization growing up but only up to 1980, after that everything started to go down the hell, if the western civilization is about the social cultural practiced by the western societies, then is dead and buried in 1990, now in 2014 people nor the governments practice civilization, they act as they don't want know what civilization is, because they don't have a clue what a functioning democracy is. In another word, the modernized civilization needs to have a social culture in a functioning educational, social political, social cultural and social economic system that works for People, you don't have that., the system will only be able to pretend that is civilized.
For last 60 years Israel been killing people of Palestine, the western civilization been helping out because the system thinks that Israel is their kind of " civilized system"…, the western civilization, political and economical system been killing millions of Iraqis while their "civilized" creation Israel been applauding the out come. The police state at home, the Neo fascism, the Islamic caliphate (ISIS) regime, or for that any other religious brutal system, the Balkan war, the Yugoslavia, the Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria political and social destructions are modernized version of western civilization. Hence, the world has witnessed the brutality of its own created created civilization while the very same civilized societies, by the politicians and economical institutions been hanging the basics and the social principals in civilization killing it for their interests.
very good thanks admin
The writer's subject matter is far too broad to fit into a short essay. I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss all of Western Civilization. Many European countries, especially since WWII, have turned away from war and militarism and may well be among the most civilized countries on the planet. Unfortunately, that cannot be said for the US – arms merchant to the world, bringer of death, and the main obstacle to peace on the planet.
Nah. They Just changed their forms of tyranny. It's just a "soft" tyranny (the PC police for example) now. But it is going slowly toward a more hard tyranny.
Staying aware of quick payday credit online installments when your paycheck scarcely stays aware of consistent costs may bring heaps of cerebral pains into your accounts. On the off chance that this is befalling you, don't think you are the one and only. There are an excess of borrowers who battle to pay back these transient credits making cash focuses in other planned zones.
Some days ago a big war occur and till now this is running between Israel and Palestinians.But this war was started long years ago for their religion.For our peaceful life we should avoid it.
Depending on how you define western civilization, if is about the social political performance of certain governing system.
individual may begin to ask for their work to be delegated to other individuals.

Manage your own credit
Imagine never having to worry about getting a loan or lower interest rates for a new house, car, or credit card... Life would be easier, wouldn't it? ApprovalGUARD™ is a service that empowers you to understand and manage your own credit just like a credit advisor.
"I just graduated from high school and have no established credit. My father purchased a subscription to ApprovalGUARD and wow, how it's helping. I have learned a lot about how credit scores work, plus my personal credit advisor has helped me plan out a way to establish my own credit the right way!"
Rachel Riverside, CA
"Right out of high school I joined the military, after completing my basic training, I was shopping for auto insurance. I noticed that every place I called to get a quote they asked for my social security number. What I didn't know is that they pulled my credit report each time I applied, which could have affected my insurance rate. Thanks to ApprovalGUARD I learned when and when not to provide critical personal information when shopping for loans and insurance."
Derrick E3 U.S. Air Force
"I almost made the mistake of applying for all those credit card offers you get when you graduate. Having the information and an accessible credit advisor is priceless. They never taught us this in school."
Joseph Las Vegas, NV
"The clients I work with are never prepared to get a mortgage. Even if they qualify it is a mad scramble to get them there and they rarely get as good a rate as they could have. That's why I love ApprovalGUARD clients, they have all the little issues ironed out ahead of time. My job is easier, the client gets a better deal, and the whole process is a lot less stressful. Everyone could benefit from a service like this no matter what their credit score or situation is."
John Los Angeles, CA
"My husband was deployed to Iraq, so it feels good to know someone here is looking out for my financial future by helping me understand how to manage my credit. I have recommended the ApprovalGUARD service to the base family support team so they can help other military families like mine."
Anne Oceanside, CA
"I was working with a company for four months on my credit and they instructed me to pay off and close one of my credit accounts. This ended up negatively affecting my credit. Working with someone who knows what they're doing versus someone who doesn't has really made a difference. Thanks ApprovalGUARD!"
Monica Phoenix, AZ
"I had a collection account on my credit report and didn't know what to do. After working with an ApprovalGUARD credit pro, I felt in control of the conversation and my financial situation because I had learned more about my credit."
Russell Buffalo, NY
"I have an 800+ credit score and signed up for ApprovalGUARD to evaluate the service as a benefit for my company. Wow, was I surprised. I learned a lot about my personal credit that empowered me to better manage what I already have. Within 45 days, I optimized my credit profile and increased my own score 68 points!"

Andrew Peterson
Teaching artist Andrew Peterson knows creativity often erupts from clutter and chaos. The first assignment in his robotic arts workshop for middle school students: dissect cast-off Tickle Me Elmo toys and pick through the parts to make small jittering robots. It wasn't long before the giddiness gave way to focus.
Peterson is the creator and lead instructor of South Shore Robotic Arts, an afterschool program for middle school students at South Shore K-8 in Rainer Beach. The program encourages youth to create fun and imaginative works of robotic art through experimentation, creative play and basic electrical engineering skills.
"These young artists use their imaginations and problem-solving skills to dismantle old toys and harvest the usable parts to create moving monstrosities, cute battle bots and drawing machines. The colorful, leftover debris is used for structure, decoration, armor or comedic effect," said Peterson, a working artist and adjunct professor of drawing and painting at Seattle Pacific University.
The four-month program engaged nearly two dozen youth, with the more advanced or returning students serving as mentors to new participants. A public exhibition of the students' creations closed the class.
"This program is an awesome, cool, amazing, fun program that lets kids get in touch with their creative side and their technical side," said program participant Elvis Lang, a 7th grader.
South Shore Robotic Arts received funding from the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs' Youth Arts program, which invests in arts training and education beyond the regular school day and prioritizes youth or communities with limited or no access to the arts. Youth Arts awarded nearly $200,000 to 30 artists, cultural organizations and community agencies for projects involving middle and high school students between September 2010 and September 2011. The projects engaged 341 teaching artists who offered 24,000 hours of arts training to 5,000 young people in neighborhoods throughout the city.

Sarah Palin skips GOP convention to campaign for Kirk Adams in Gilbert
GILBERT, AZ - At least one well-known Republican will not be at the Republican National Convention.
Former GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin was in Gilbert on Monday, campaigning for 5th District Congressional candidate Kirk Adams.
Adams is running against former representative and gubernatorial candidate Matt Salmon.
"I wrote her a letter telling her why I was the best candidate. Her people later called me saying Sarah Palin is going to endorse you. Now she's down here helping us out," said Adam.
Palin and Adams were at Joe's Farm Grill in Gilbert starting at 3:30 p.m.
The event included live music and a family BBQ.
Adams and Palin served food as a way of saying "thank you" for all the support and encouraging people to get out and vote, according to a news release.
We reached out to Matt Salmon, Kirk's opponent. He tells us he's just thankful for the support he's received from Gov. Jan Brewer and the potential voters.

Use of Force Board recommends firing of police officer after shooting
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Use of Force Board is recommending the firing of a police officer for shooting a man in the leg in November.
Las Vegas police were summoned to a local park on Nov. 11, 2012, because of a fight between a man and his ex-girlfriend.
Upon arrival, they found the man and woman sitting in a car. The woman was removed from the car. While speaking to the man, the police officer fired one round, striking him in the leg.
The officer was later identified as 36-year-old Jacquer Roston. He has been employed by LVMPD since 2009.
The Use of Force Board, comprised of four civilians and three police officers, determined that Roston's actions violated policy.
Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie has signed off on their recommendation. Roston will have the opportunity to appeal the decision at a pre-termination hearing.
A date for that hearing has not been set.

This is a precious stage in my Ankita's development. She is a toddler at the grand old age of two-and-a-half. The "toddler" can be tough to figure out. With their changing moods, their desire to establish authority by stepping over and challenging already-imposed boundaries and rules, and their incredible ability to soak up new information like a sponge, parents are often left helpless as to what to say, how to say it and when to step in to say "Time out!" to these little ones. But this is also the time when these little people get us adults to wonder about the fascinating way their minds work, how they evolve with their own personalities, what they choose to learn and repeat... naughtiness, clever deeds, newly learnt skills... it's a constant stream that keeps me fascinated, frustrated and super-involved all the time!!
My daughter has just started to discover that she can be funny. She stares at the mirror and makes faces, laughs at herself and calls herself funny. She jumps up and down on the sofa or the bed (or anything that can spring back) and says she is "being a monkey." She now knows our names and finds it hilarious to call me Amit and her dad Mimi... who would think that name-swapping could cause as many laughs! She has also figured out the power of laughter to dissipate tension. So when she has been naughty -- and knows that she has done something she shouldn't have -- she tries to cover up by doing something silly and then laughs that loud, forced "ha ha ha" laugh that only kids can bring forth, and says "Mamma, I am being silly?". The hope: her mother will not see the misdemeanor and all will be fine. Yeah, right!
Sometimes when I think of all that life could throw to stall us, crumble us, make us cry and feel defeated, I feel blessed to be able to spend this time with my little one and share her laughter, nod at her attempts at being funny and smile with her. It doesn't take long for my anger or frustration to dissipate… she drives me crazy one minute, and then the next minute when she comes and puts her little arms around me, I melt.
A typical scene at our home at 6 p.m.
Me: "Ankita, what will you eat? Rice or noodles or roti?" (I have been told that toddlers love being given the power to choose)
Her: "White rice" (She doesn't like anything mixed into her rice – or any other food item to touch it on the plate)
Me: "OK" – while I run around and get that ready on the plate with a side plate of vegetables or chicken to go with it – just in case
Her: "NOOOOOO. Don't want it!! Want roti" (after I have put rice before her)
Me: "But you just wanted rice!"
Her: "No, don't want it."
Me: "Have a bit then I could make some roti if you are good"
Her: "No eat! Want to watch Dora!" (note: this is a new request for her favorite cartoon show – where did this come from?)
Me: "You have to eat first."
Her: "Watch Dora, watch Dora, watch Dora…" (this litany continues for the next 10 minutes)
Me: "Ok, so you won't get roti and Dora. You have to eat the rice and then maybe I will let you watch" (by this time my temper has soared higher by the minute)
Then follows an arm-wrestling spree to get her spoon… she won't eat and won't let me feed her. And all along I am wondering: why do I do this every single day???
Then she suddenly calms down, smiles and says "Mommy help Ankita eat?". Hooray! I have received the green signal from her, the white flag of truce is waved and I can go through the evening now. And that surge of 'momminess' in the pleasurable act of spooning rice into my little diva's mouth makes it all worthwhile.

Kids Crafts: Dragon Puppet
The Year of the Ox
is here!
is here!
And, to commemorate it, Ana and I made a little craft project over the weekend.
[Also posted here]
Materials used: Card stock paper for head and tail, construction paper for accordion-folded body, two bamboo skewers (or straws or even long Popsicle sticks if preferred), craft glue or cello tape, color markers or paints or crayons or glitter glue to decorate the dragon
The idea is not original, of course. I was looking around for activities to do with Ana and came upon various versions of this project on the web and decided to give it a try.
Ana decided it had to be a girl dragon and didn't like any of the elongated reptilian head I came up with, so, we went with a jolly-looking round-faced dragon with a weird pout and pointy ears/horns :)
Next time, we probably will try to make the dragon fancier - maybe glue glitter and tissue paper to make shiny scales, and probably try a more traditional-looking face...
- make a head and a face from the card stock paper, and decorate it as you please
- fold along the long edge and cut the construction paper; make a fan fold or accordion fold with both the pieces and glue them together to form a long accordion body
- glue the head, body and tail appropriately
- glue the straws or Popsicle sticks or bamboo skewers one at the head and one at the tail to hold it up and make it dance

Congresbury residents devastated as homes flood three times in five days
Posted: November 27, 2012|
Homeowners in a North Somerset village are mopping up after being flooded up to four times in eight weeks.
People living in Kent Road, Congresbury, have spent the last 48 hours trying to rid their cottages of the floodwater.
Jane Evans' cottage was the worst affected, being flooded three times since Wednesday as bad weather battered the south west. It is the fourth time Mrs Evans has seen storm water gush into her property in the last eight weeks, having also suffered flooding in September.
Mrs Evans, a 57-year-old finance officer, woke on Wednesday morning to find the lower sitting room and the kitchen under a foot of water.

It had seeped into kitchen cupboards and destroyed a new fridge freezer and washing machine Mrs Evans had replaced just weeks ago.
Mrs Evans said: "Some of the furniture had only just been restored following the last flood and I was doing all I could to move it out of the way. Sadly it has been ruined again – I haven't even got my carpets replaced from the last flood.
"I had only just got rid of the dehumidifiers, fans and blowers to dry out the property and now they are back again."
Fire crews returned to the cottage again on Thursday evening and on Saturday night to deal with further floods.
Mrs Evans said: "Four of the cottages in my rank were flooded out again three times this week.
"It has been absolutely hideous and I am having to live in the upper part of the sitting room with minimal electricity."
Residents who have been flooded along Kent Road are planning a meeting this week to look at ways they can press the authorities to take action to stop it from happening again. They believe an overgrown drainage ditch nearby may be to blame.
Although the level of the river Yeo through the village was high, flooding is thought to have been caused by the volume of surface water.
Last night it was being reported that a man who died after his vehicle was swept off a ford in Chew Stoke was a pensioner from London.
The man, named in reports as John McNair, was rescued from his vehicle on Thursday night but attempts to save him failed and he was pronounced dead on arrival at Bristol Royal Infirmary.
Tributes were paid to Mr McNair on the website of his rugby club, Blackheath RFC.

Comet Pan-STARRS shined down on the Lone Star State last night and you've still got a handful of chances to the see the comet that won't come back to this part of the universe for quite some time.
Several locals took pictures of the comet Monday night. Sid Ehlert took pictures of the comet at Lake Bryan around 8:15 Monday night.
In College Station, David Young, a member of the Brazos Valley Astronomy Club took a snapshot of the comet at College Station High School at 8:19 p.m.
The comet should be easier to spot over the next few days as it rises in our horizon and should be visible around 8:00 p.m.
The comet will be just to the left of the crescent moon Tuesday night, and Wednesday it should appear just below the moon.
The comet has just completed its first trip by the sun and isn't going to return to this part of the solar system for a million years.

The Age of Stupid
Spent a fantastic-if-occasionally-soggy weekend in Nevada City, California, roaming from venue to venue at the Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival, watching new films and re-watching a couple recent classics. We also showed two films – TERRA ANTARCTICA and the 'premiere' of WHAT WOULD DARWIN THINK? Man v. Nature in the Galapagos – to great response. My favorites were two: THE AGE OF STUPID and PICKIN' AND TRIMMIN.' The former, by British director Fanny Armstrong, is a look back at 2008 from the vantage point of 2050. The big question in retrospect becomes "What were you guys thinking, to have acknowledged environmental ills but done nothing-to-little to stop or cure them?" Thus, the Age of Stupid. (The line itself is spoken by a Louisiana oilman who loses his home to Katrina.)
'PICKIN' is a much smaller film, a short about the goings on at a simple North Carolina barber shop where musicians also gather to play (mandolins, guitars, violins) on a regular basis. The wry comments of the pair of barbers who host the shop – interviewed on a bench in front of their shop, waving to passersby as they gab – suggest that in some parts of the world little has changed in the past fifty years which in this case is a good thing. The focus is on community, and a weekly ear-lifting haircut.
I also saw for a second time the moving film about dolphin slaughtering in Japan (THE COVE) and a bio-pic of Sea Shepherd chief Paul Watson, (PIRATE FOR THE SEA) amazing for its collection of archival footage of Paul over the past thirty-plus years. While you may argue Paul and Sea Shepherd's tactics, you cannot contend with his commitment: He's been espousing the same message since the mid-1970s, to any cameraman or reporter who will listen!
Tonight, we're off to the Sonoma Environmental Film Festival, to show our films again and hopefully to see a few new ones.

The Euskaltel rider finished 3 seconds ahead of compatriot Ezequiel Mosquera after the 208.4-kilometer ride from Vilanova i la Geltru in northeastern Spain to the ski resort of Pal in the tiny principality of Andorra.
In third was another Spaniard, Xavier Tondo, 10 seconds behind the winner.
Anton had held the leader's red jersey after the first week, but was knocked off the top spot by countryman Joaquin Rodriguez, of Caisse d'Epargne, after Tuesday's 10th stage.
Rodriguez's bid to retain the lead was dashed in the final kilometers of the final climb when he dropped off the pace. He eventually finished in 17th place at 59 seconds behind Anton.
Anton, 27, now holds a 45-second overall lead over Italian Vincenzo Nibali, of Liquigas, in the overall standings, with Cervelo rider Tondo third.

Boston Restaurant Recommendations
Im going to Boston for the weekend this summer for the first time in 15 years!! Where should my boyfriend and I eat??? Nowhere that is too outrageously priced, but we do want to treat ourselves to some fabulous Boston treats!
There is a lot of great chow here in the Boston area, but it would help us give the best recommendations if you could please say a little more about yourselves and your plans:
- Do you have any favorite cuisines, or cuisines you would rather avoid?
- Where will you be staying?
- When in Boston, how will you be getting around? (e.g. public transportation, taxi, rental car)
- When you have visited here before, did you have any favorites back then? They may not be around now, but that would help us match your taste with the best places to dine now.

and how much is outrageous in your opinion?

CONCORD, N.C. (October 11, 2008) – Jamie McMurray capped off a great weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Saturday night with his season-best finish of the 2008 season. After taking the pole in Friday night's Nationwide race and finishing in the top-10, McMurray finished fifth on Saturday night at the 1.5-mile "hometown" speedway in the Bank of America 500.
After opening practice and qualifying were both rained out on Thursday afternoon, qualifying was set by current 2008 Sprint Cup owner points. The No. 26 Crown Royal Ford Fusion would start Saturday night's race from the 21st position.
On Friday evening, McMurray collected his second pole of the season in the Nationwide race and went on to finish top-10. McMurray hoped the success would transfer over into the 334-lap race on Saturday night.
Taking the start from the 21st position, McMurray quickly made his way through the field, finding himself in the 13th position when the first caution flag of the evening was displayed on lap 43. After a quick stop in the pits for four tires and fuel, McMurray returned to the speedway scored in the 12th position.
On the ensuing restart, McMurray again worked his way through the field, this time making it up to the 10th position before the second caution was displayed on lap 53 for a wreck on the backstretch. During the caution the No. 26 Crown Royal team opted to remain on the speedway and not pit. However, just two laps before retaking the green flag, McMurray felt a tire going down. Crew chief Larry Carter called McMurray down pit road for four new tires. After a stop in the pits, McMurray found himself scored in the 33rd position.
After the restart Carter came over the radio and told McMurray to hang in there, that he had a top-five car if he could take care of his equipment.
McMurray and the No. 26 Crown Royal showed their will and determination to get back into contention. Lap after lap, McMurray continued to climb the leaderboard. After 100 laps, McMurray had worked his way back up to the 12th position.
McMurray and crew chief Carter continued to work and adjust on the No. 26 Crown Royal Ford Fusion and were able to again race their way into the top 10. After a final pit stop on lap 297, Carter told McMurray he was good to go for the rest of the race and to go out there and get a good finish.
McMurray restarted in the sixth position and with just 33 laps remaining in the race, McMurray knew a top-five finish was in his sights. With 10 laps left, McMurray worked his way to the bumper of the No. 48 machine, and as the two drove into turns one and two, McMurray dove low and was able to pass Jimmie Johnson for the fifth position. When the checkered flag was displayed for race winner Jeff Burton, the No. 26 Crown Royal Ford Fusion crossed the line in the fifth position.
"Larry and the guys made really good decisions on the adjustments to the car and it was just a good night for the Crown Royal Ford Fusion," said McMurray following the race. "It's the same thing every week, track position is just so critical. We had a really good tire here. The tire would give up a little bit and stickers were a little bit better. In testing it wasn't really that way, but our car was not good on two tires. I didn't think it was very good when we would just scuff them and run 10 laps, so they made the right decision on coming in and putting four tires on there at the end and we actually had a little bit of track position with that, so it ended up good. Really, for the last three months we've had great race cars. Everyone at Roush Fenway runs well. I mean all of my teammates run well every single week and we haven't been able to put our finishes together, but we've had a lot of speed in our car, so I think to sit on the pole in the Nationwide race and then have a top-five in the Cup race, it's gonna make for a wonderful Sunday off."
This Monday, McMurray will tee up in the Third Annual Jamie McMurray Foundation golf tournament. After a day on the course, McMurray will prepare for a full weekend at Martinsville Speedway. McMurray will run both the Cup race, as well the Truck race. McMurray's last start in the Truck Series came in 2004 where he won at Martinsville Speedway.

SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD, October 2008, Karen Demers
"Double, double
toil and trouble;
fire burn and cauldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake; eye of newt, and toe of frog**"
Whoa, wait a minute! This isn't the kind of treat I want on Halloween. This is a time for delicious chocolates and candies, spooky stories and crazy costumes – or is it? Where did Halloween traditions originate? Do our Sisters Around the World go trick-or-treating? Let's find out! (**Shakespeare's Macbeth Act IV, scene i)
Halloween is one of the world's oldest holidays originating from an old Celtic tradition 2000 years ago. The Celtic New Year was celebrated throughout the night of October 31st as it began on November 1st. This tradition was called Samhain (sow-in). It marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter, often associated with cold, darkness and death! The Celtics dressed in costumes and danced around huge bonfires which were used to burn old crops while keeping them warm throughout the coming cold nights. When the Romans conquered the Celtics and changed some of their traditions, November 1st became All Saints Day and November 2nd was All Soul's Day. To keep the Celtics happy, October 31st maintained the meaning of Samhain. Now here's the cool part of this story... during this time, people spoke Middle English and in this language, 'All Saints Day' translates to 'All-Hallows' and October 31st was called All-Hallows Eve. Can you see where this is going?!?! That's right - Halloween!
Halloween was first brought to North America by European immigrants. The trick-or-treating part came from an English tradition called 'souling'. People would go door to door begging for 'soul cakes' and for each one received, a prayer was said for those who had passed.
In some parts of Europe, Catholics celebrate 'Seleenwoche' or 'All Souls Week' from Oct. 30 - Nov. 8th. During this holiday, in Austria, lamps are lit and bread and water are left out to welcome souls back to earth. In Germany, people put away their kitchen knives so returning spirits don't hurt themselves! In Czechoslovakia, families place chairs at the fireplace – one for each family member alive and one for those who have passed.
Halloween as we know it is also practiced in most parts of the United Kingdom including Ireland. However, in the past, English children made 'punkies' - carved lighted turnips - and went door to door asking for money, singing 'The Punky Night Song'. In some parts of England, punkies are still made and children often compete to carve the best punky. In Sweden, 'Alla Helgons Day' is celebrated on the first Saturday that falls after Halloween. Families make wreaths and light candles at grave sites to honour those that have passed.
In Hong Kong, they celebrate 'Yue Lan' or 'Festival of the Hungry Ghost'. It is believed that spirits roam the earth for 24 hours so to bring comfort to them, pictures of fruit and money are burned. In Japan, the 'Obon Festival' celebrates the return of their ancestor's spirits to their birthplace. The Japanese prepare special foods and hang bright red lanterns to guide them to their families. At the end of the festival, the red lanterns are set afloat in the water. This is a very important tradition for the Japanese and seen as a time to reunite with their families.
Mexico, Latin America and Spain
Halloween is called 'El Dia de los Muertos'; a 3 day celebration to honour the dead. It is believed that during this time, spirits return home. To honour the dead, families decorate their houses with flowers, candies, food, and photographs. There are often costume parades, mariachi bands and vigils. Interestingly, this holiday is not only about death but life too. It is a time of individual reflection on the meaning of life and goals.
It would seem that for most of our sisters around the world,
Halloween is not about spooky stories, costumes or treats, but is in fact a time to celebrate and honour those that have passed. No matter what you believe or practice, Halloween is always a time of celebration, food and fun!
