cannabis supplies are being contaminated with harmful glass particles?!
Posted 04 January 2007 - 12:31 AM
02 January 2007 06:00
Drugs users across East Anglia were last night warned to exercise extreme caution after research showed cannabis supplies are being contaminated with harmful glass particles.
Campaign bodies lobbying for the legalisation of cannabis claim small glass beads - believed to be an industrial spray used for glass frosting - are being added to herbal cannabis in a bid to increase its weight and making �deals� more expensive.
Norwich-based group Cannaprag.net says police raids during the summer of 2006 which saw large scale cannabis farms - including several in Norwich, Yarmouth and King's Lynn - closed down have created a shortage of the drug meaning dealers are contaminating supplies in a bid to meet demand.
But this could have serious health consequences for thousands of users with some already reporting mouth ulcers, sore throats and chesty persistent coughs.
Cannaprag spokesman Derek Williams said the cannabis using community has had suspicions about contamination for about six months but has only now obtained evidence by analysing samples of the drug. At first the substance was thought to be a relatively harmless material such as sands but the results are far more worrying.
Mr Williams added: �What has become clear through this incident is that the government has no method of warning illegal drug users of dangers such as this and seemingly has no desire to do so.
�Government policy towards illegal drugs should not act in such a way as to increase the danger of using them by adding unknown risks.
�Cannaprag is calling for public information campaign to raise awareness of this contamination as a matter of urgency. It will be affecting a huge number of people. A public health warning is urgently needed to inform users that they should not smoke this contaminated cannabis and dealers should not sell it.�
Mr Williams said that such contamination is a result of prohibition and legalising cannabis would allow the government to ensure the safety of supplies.
�The reality is that people are going to use cannabis and, if that is the case, the government should have some way of ensuring their safety. The only way of doing this is through legalisation,� he said.
Magnification of three samples shows small beads 50 - 120 micrometers diameter, made of non-soluble high melting point glass like substance.
If smoked without a filter - as is common - these glass beads are drawn into the lungs.
The author of the research has remained anonymous but Cannaprag and other legalisation campaign groups are calling on the government to conduct its own research.

Herbal cannabis on sale in the UK is now suffering widespread contamination. Analysis shows it to be small glass beads 50 - 120 micron in diameter. Sources suggest that this contaminant is industrial etchant spray used for glass frosting, a high pressure aerosol consisting of propellant, lubricant and silicate abrasives. This product has been identified as a likely candidate.
During the summer of 2006 police staged a series of raids against large scale cannabis grow-ops all over the UK known as "Operation Keymer", this had the effect of creating a sudden shortage of cannabis - no doubt it's desired effect.
However, within a very short period of time this shortage was at least partly filled by cannabis which was highly contaminated. Seemingly high quality "bud" - herbal cannabis - was found to contain some form of grit or sand. The website www.ukcia.org began hearing of this contaminated cannabis on sale from the far south west to the north of Scotland within weeks of the raids.
At first, the contamination was thought to be fairly benign with something inert being added simply to increase the weight of the deal, making the cannabis more expensive but otherwise not posing a danger. As time went past however, it became clear there was a potential danger which may be of great significance for the health of the user.
Photo's of the contaminated bud seemed to show some kind of glass fragments
The contamination found by analysis is actually small beads 50 - 120 micrometers diameter, made of some non-soluble high melting point glass like substance. If smoked in a joint or chillum with no filter - as most cannabis smokers do - these glass beads will be drawn into the lungs with possibly devastating results, it's doubtful that using a pipe with a gauze will prevent this happening either.
Of course, given the illegal nature of cannabis and the workings of the law, this analysis cannot be verified and the author of it is unknown, but the methodology provided and the conclusions drawn seem reasonable.
This contamination is a direct result of the policy of prohibition and the danger it represents is in addition to any danger that may exist from using pure cannabis. It is a very graphic illustration of how the policy of prohibition not only increases the dangers associate with illegal drugs but also creates dangers of its own.
There is an urgent need to publicise this contamination in order to advise cannabis users not to smoke this "grit weed" and dealers not to sell it.
Derek Williams of Cannaprag said:
"What has become clear through this incident is that the government has no method of warning illegal drug users of dangers such as this and seemingly has no desire to do so. We do have a very expensive advertising campaign known as "Talk to Frank" which makes strange adverts but seems unwilling or unable to respond to such incidents.
"Government policy towards illegal drugs should not act in such a way as to increase the danger of using them by adding unknown risks, however contamination of supplies is used as a measure of "success" of the prohibitionist drugs policy.
"Cannaprag is calling for a public information campaign to raise awareness of this contamination as a matter of urgency. It will be affecting a huge number of people, literally millions. A public health warning is urgently needed to inform users that they should not smoke this contaminated cannabis and dealers should not sell it".
-------------- ends----------------
The analysis - author unknown.
The following analysis and comment has been obtained by www.ukcia.org and can be seen on the forum:
Under microscope at 50x magnification, contaminants appear as very small (50-120 um) beads, with regular circular shape and small pores/ single holes present.
Beads do not dissolve in non polar solvents (pet ether) or polar solvents (ethanol, acetone).
Beads are insoluble in conc NaOH solution, conc H2SO4.
Melting point is above 400C, but cannot perform TG, DTG analysis at the moment so cannot specify any transition temperatures or accurate melting points.
The beads have a significant sodium and silicon content, suggesting that the comments previously about silicates are correct.
Reliable sources say that this contaminant is industrial etchant spray used for glass frosting, It is a high pressure aerosol of propellant, lubricant and silicate abrasives. This accounts for the high permeation levels displayed in all 3 samples, with particulates presents inside even 'tight' buds all the way into the stems. This also may account for the non plany oils present in the bud which have been previously described as a 'glue'
Obviously a further qualitative analysis is needed and I may be able to perform MS, IR, NMR and thermal methods on the samples, in particular the oil 'glue' and the gritty particulates.
The tests were rudimentary to the extreme but allowed for a qualitative analysis of the contaminants.
As you will appreciate, cannabis bud is plant tissue and so is an extremely complex subject. The contaminants which cause the most worry (the crystals) are a very un complex subject.
So I burnt away all of the material in a methane-air flame (about 1500C) until there was no appreciable plant material left (a reasonably homogenous charred mixture).
The oils were extracted with a non-polar solvent- that is one which is immiscible in water, petrol and cooking oil being two examples, however I used petroleum ether which is a low boiling fraction of oil.
Acetone was used as a polar solvent to strip the material of more polar oils which would still be water insoluble. The sample was then further oxidised with concentrated sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid is a very strong dehydrating agent, stripping hydrogen and oxygen from a substance in the ratio 2:1.
The sample was then neutralised with household bicarb and washed with water.
It was then dried to a constant mass. Using a fine mesh I was able to remove the majority of the contaminant from the charred sample and study it under a microscope. Unfortunately I was unable to make a further qualitative analysis of its oxygen, silicon, aluminium or sodium content as I do not have access to expensive analytical instruments or reagents such as HF for at least a month.
I am almost certain that it is an aluminosilicate and I think that the information about etchant could well be correct.
The author who provided this analysis makes the following comments:
Smoking this has resulted in mouth ulcers and sore throats/ chesty coughs which never occur when smoking normally due to the good health and only occasional cannabis use of the subject.

if it isnt a plot derived from some higher power (officials, etc).. then it would suck if it just all boiled down to greed and heartless "caregivers".
I know if anything... i can look into getting better methods of magnifying my herb to see if its tainted... But, are there any suggestions that could fall under taste, smell, touch, etc. that would help spot such dangers?
What a fuhked up head trip to put on our shoulders when we already have enough pain, stress, and life in general to worry about.
Im still hoping for that day when honesty and love for humanity will be in full effect so that we can live life like it was intended...
Take care out there trackers.

Bob Thompson, 68, has been a Georgia state representative, an Atlanta police officer, a Fulton County commissioner's assistant, a Charleston City Council candidate and a self-employed contractor.
Editor's Note
As the Aug. 13 Senate District 42 Democratic primary approaches, The Post and Courier is profiling all six candidates. This is the third in the series. To read more, go to postandcourier.com/senate-42.
He soon hopes to add another title: District 42 state senator.
Bob Thompson
Age: 68
Family: Four children, six grandchildren.
Education: Washington University, St. Louis Community College.
Occupation: Contractor
Previous elected office: House District 48, Post 1, East Point, Ga. 2002-04.
Why I'm running: "To make District 42 a role model. I will address the following ... infrastructure and environmental concerns, work with public safety to reduce crime; getting our fair share of taxpayers dollars for public school education."
More than anything, Senate District 42 needs: "To get rid of the 'Good Old Boy' system. I will listen to the citizens regarding their concerns and ... let their voices be heard and have an open door policy."
Contact information: 722-1973; 817-9146. email@example.com.
Thompson is one of six Democrats running Aug. 13 to get the party's nomination for Robert Ford's former Senate seat. The others are Emmanuel Ferguson, Herbert S. Fielding, Marlon Kimpson, Margaret Rush and Maurice Washington. An Aug. 27 runoff is likely.
Senate 42 forums
The NAACP has a candidate forum at 6:30 tonight at Burke High School.
The S.C. Democratic Party also has a forum set for 7 p.m. Aug. 6 at Trident Tech's Rivers Avenue campus.
Thompson said the main issue in the race is "good legislation."
"I mean legislation that has teeth to it. That's what senators do. They write bills and amendments and that kind of thing. They also handle budgets," he said.
He said he will address infrastructure, environmental concerns, crime, public education and economic growth. "I can't say all I can do until I get there," he added. "I know everything is a learning process."
Thompson ran for Charleston City Council's District 3 seat two years ago and lost. He said he hopes that run increased his name recognition, and he learned a lesson about going into debt. He financed about half of his $1,100 campaign, according to state reports.
"I'm not going to go no further than my money will take me," he said of his current campaign. "Since I'm knocking on doors, it will take me all the way."
While he was unsuccessful in his city run, he has served several officials and campaigns in Georgia. That experience would prepare him for the South Carolina Senate, should he win, he said.
"I know how to deal with coming together with other peers to be able to get something," he added. "There's a lot of backroom stuff going on, and if you go back there, you better know how to deal."
The Democratic winner will face both a Republican and Libertarian candidate in the special Oct. 1 election.

After finding out what President Scott Brown is thinking with regards to financial reform, I'm sure you're waiting with bated breath to hear his thoughts on unemployment insurance. As you may know, Sens. Reid and Baucus introduced a substitute amendment to the tax extenders bill that would extend unemployment for 6 months and also extend to the end of September the closing deadline for families seeking the homebuyer's tax credit (they had to sign a deal by April 30). Olympia Snowe had called for this measure, leading many to believe that the Senate had the votes to break a filibuster and provide $34 billion in extended unemployment benefits. Susan Collins intimated that she would join Snowe.
But Ben Nelson is opposed to anything that would deficit spend. Anyway, he's bored with unemployment. So, until a replacement for Robert Byrd is seated, the Democrats would have to find one other Republican willing to vote for cloture. That leads us to President Scott Brown. And today, he offered his own unemployment bill, a "deficit neutral" measure that would pay for the benefits by stealing from the stimulus.
There are some programs in that legislation that are important to Massachusetts during this economic crisis — the summer jobs program for young people, unemployment insurance extensions for those still looking for work in this tough economy, as well as additional assistance to the states, known as FMAP — but we need to find a way to pay for them.
My compromise bill uses unspent stimulus funds and cuts wasteful and unnecessary spending in other areas to pay for these important programs. Believe it or not, there is about $37 billion in stimulus money just sitting in a Washington slush fund when it should be put to good use immediately.
What some call "sitting in a Washington slush fund," others call "appropriated by Congress and being used on projects across the country." The myth of "unused stimulus money" would represent a cut to programs already called for in the stimulus. It's robbing Peter to pay Paul.
A Senate
leadership Democratic aide questioned Brown's motives. "It's clear that he's pushing this alternative bill as cover for a no vote on the standalone," and given the current vote count in the Senate, Brown would be successful in blocking that UI/homebuyer's bill. "It's incredible that a Boston Globe poll just came out showing Brown's approval rating high, and yet he's bringing all this pain to Massachusetts," the aide said.
So America waits, turning its eyes to President Brown to see what he'll allow to go forward. Failing that, the Senate could withhold the vote until after the July 4 recess, when West Virginia will have a new Democratic Senator, and pass the UI bill then. But that would add two more weeks of misery to those whose benefits have run out.
It's all up to President Brown.
UPDATE: More from Mcjoan.

This book is intended as an undergraduate text for abstract algebra. It covers the standard material and standard applications sufficient for a two-semester sequence in abstract algebra: see the table of contents.
The book is excellent, especially for students planning to go into fields with applications of abstract algebra, for example chemistry majors and students interested in coding theory. The book is also very useful for undergraduates with no specific applications in mind.
The strongest attributes of the book are a) its conciseness b) the richness of applications, c) the hands-on computational approach of the book, d) the diversity of problems, and e) the superb bibliography and supplemental readings.
Conciseness: The book has 71 sections (66 in the text and 5 more on the website). Each section is sufficiently rich to take one class lecture. Furthermore, despite the book's conciseness, the examples in each section have a rich diversity. Section 5, for example, introduces groups, then gives the following ten examples of groups: even integers, positive integers, the singleton set {0} under addition, the rationals, an abstract group (presented by a Cayley table) of order 3, the set of all invertible mappings of a set under composition, the set of rotations about a point, linear mappings, the 2×2 real matrices under addition, and the set of 2×2 real matrices with non-zero determinants under multiplication. Consequently, a student just introduced to groups is exposed to sufficient examples to appreciate the full generality of the group concept.
Applications: Despite the conciseness of the book, all the standard applications are treated. There are also several applications not found in many textbooks. Besides the standard topics of codes, Boolean switching theory, Galois Theory, geometric constructions, and solvability, there are delightful sections on symmetry, crystallographic groups and the Burnside counting theorem.
Problems: As an instructor, I don't always learn from a textbook. Here are just two exercises from this book which I could not just sit down and solve:
Exercise 57.3 Consider the problem of painting the edges of a square so that one is red, one is white, one is blue, and one is yellow. (a) In how many distinguishable ways can this be done if the edges of the square are distinguishable? (b) Repeat (a) except count different ways as being indistinguishable if one can be obtained from the other by rotation of the square in the plane. (c) repeat (b), except permit reflections through lines as well as rotations in the plane.
Exercise 42.17 (d) Carry out the process outlined here to solve by radicals x3 + 4x2 + 4x + 3 = 0.
Computational Approach: Abstract algebra is challenging to many students because of its abstractness. It is easy for the student to get lost. Durbin (partially) remedies this problem by presenting many hand-on aids: Group laws are supplemented with Cayley tables, permutations are presented with the standard "easy to read" two-row form for permutations, groups based on geometric transformations are supplemented with clear pictures and diagrams. This is a tremendous aid to the weaker student. Frequently, when I teach abstract algebra it is either my job or the student's to provide these aids. It is refreshing to see the textbook itself provide them. Furthermore, despite the book's conciseness, the examples are non-trivial. One quick illustration: Tables 50.3 and 50.4 present the Cayley tables for the field Z3[X]/(1+x3), a field of order 9.
Problem Diversity: These days it is standard for "good" algebra textbooks to have problems with different difficulty levels. In this book there are two levels — standard problems reviewing section material and more advanced problems (including those encouraging proofs). The standard even-odd division of problems is used with the solutions to odd numbered problems at the end of the book. The website has more material including supplementary problems, solution manuals etc.
Bibliography: Refreshingly, each chapter ends with a section entitled "Notes on Chapter..." These notes are really extensive bibliographies: Other texts and websites with information on the chapter content. The bibliography is diverse - both technical as well as popular books are mentioned. I almost overlooked this wonderful feature of the book - I would recommend the author call this section "Bibliography" or "Supplemental Reading" in future additions.
My only minor criticism of the book is the carve-out of five sections on coding theory and Boolean switching theory to the website. I would prefer these sections be retained in the book proper. The sections on the website are, however, complete with many examples, challenging topics, and non-trivial exercises.
The location of the website could have been made clearer. The author tells the instructor that he may find the material on codes and switching theory at http://www.wiley.com/college/durbin. A little more information should have been supplied. One has to a) click on the "Modern Algebra" book icon, b) click on "Companion Sites" under the "Instructors" grouping, c) click on "Instructor Companion Site", and then d) Click on "Web only material". One must also know that Appendix F contains four very thorough sections on coding theory (including linear codes, using finite fields, and computing error rates) while Appendix G contains a standard section on Boolean switching theory. Links to an "errata" sheet and an "Instructor Solution Manual" may also be found on this page.

Next-generation iPhones likely to focus on internal improvements.
Apple and Samsung Negotiating Agreement to Settle Patent Disputes Out of Court
Samsung and Apple are reportedly in the early stages of negotiation with some key details on royalty payments still under negotiation.
"Samsung has recently resumed working-level discussions with Apple and the key issue is how to dismiss all lawsuits," one source said, declining to be named.Apple and Samsung recently faced off in a California court as part of the second US patent infringement lawsuit between the two companies. In the case that concluded earlier this month, the jury found that Samsung willfully infringed on three of the five Apple patents involved in the lawsuit and ordered the Korean company to pay Apple a sum of $119.6 million. Apple also was found guilty of infringing on one of Samsung's patents with damages totaling $158,400.
"Some more time will be needed to fix terms of details such as royalty payments in return for using patents owned by each before reaching a full agreement."
Top Rated Comments(View all)
For someone that is always talking about experience about the matter and knowledge, surely you are completely clueless about this particular matter, am I right?
I get my facts from the sources (actual court documents, evidence, etc), not from fansite articles.
Abusing SEPs that belong to the 80s is a bad business model.
That does not change the fact that Apple has stalled paying royalties for years, and that judges have negatively commented that Apple has been using the court system to try to lower the rates they'll have to pay.
Patent abuse is patent abuse, whether it's essential or not.
It's just as bad when a SEP holder tries for a intra-negotiation injunction, as when a non-SEP holder runs around suing everyone with similar solutions.
As Judge Posner put it, "You can't just assume that just because someone has a patent, he has deep moral right to exclude everyone else from using it."
I would add that I think this goes double for software patents.
Yes. Motorola was abusing SEPs (check), so they got nothing (check), as they should (check).
Not being able to get an injunction against Apple, does not mean Motorola won't get paid by Apple. Apple still owes royalties no matter what, and they've been piling up every day for years. Only now, Apple owes those back royalties to Google, since they own the patents.
That has been covered many times before. Apple knows it has to pay royalties on FRAND patents. But because competitors know its Apple, and they have lots of money, expect them to pay more for their licenses then anyone else. Thats not what FRAND is based upon.
This has indeed been covered many times before:
Apple refused to cross license. That's their decision, but Apple wanted to be treated special and pay the same lower rates that others got by cross-licensing.
That's hardly fair to the other companies.
Though its been said for a while...
Steve jobs wouldn't have allowed this.....
And Steve Jobs didn't want an iPad mini. SJ wasn't always right.
It would be great to see this resolved so that Apple can focus on developing new products.
Apple needs to get all those lawyers back to work writing code. ;)
Refusing to cross-license does not give the essential patent holder the right to deny a license
Interestingly, the ETSI FRAND rules appear to allow requiring a cross license.
Attachment 472958
We do know from history books, that in the early days of cell phones, Motorola refused to take any cash and would only allow full cross-licensing as payment.
or that the cross-license had to do with paying a lower price. They could still be overcharging Apple even without the cross license compared with other competitors.
Perhaps, but as the ITC noted, just claiming it's too high, is not enough:
Attachment 472960
You don't think if Apple asked for a fair price Samsung would try to get the price lowered way below that? Thats how bargaining works. Start high, then it gets negotiated to the price you are expecting.
Yes, exactly. Start high, negotiate lower. This obviousness is something that... along with the legitimacy and common use of cross licensing offers (to lower the rates)... had to be pointed out to Apple by the ITC:
Attachment 472959
Wait, isn't this all part of Samsung's infringe now > stall > pay later strategy?
Everyone stalls, including Apple.
Apple has used the courts to avoid paying royalties for seven years to companies which had spent decades and billions inventing and building the worldwide cellular system and market... a setup that Apple then came in and made billions from without making a similar contribution.
Let's hope the agreement is the foundation for UPFRONT, proper licensing agreements in the future.
I'm wondering how much they were influenced by the DOJ's stance last year on FRAND patent negotiations. Remember? They set limits on how long a licensee like Apple can use the courts to avoid paying royalties.
If a deal isn't made soon, Apple will have to submit to arbitrated rates, and I think they want to avoid that.
Plus, of course, there's the ridiculous amounts they've spent on litigation without affecting Samsung sales one tiny bit. If anything, all the press helped Samsung.

Other medical instruments may also be inserted to examine or treat your hip joint. During arthroscopy of the hip, the surgeon uses a tiny camera called an arthroscope to see inside your hip. An arthroscope is made up of a tiny tube, a lens, and a light source. A small surgical cut is made to insert it into your body. The surgeon will look inside your hip joint for damage or disease. Other medical instruments may also be inserted through one or two other small surgical cuts. This allows the surgeon to treat or fix certain problems, if needed. Your surgeon may remove extra pieces of bone that are loose in your hip joint, or fix cartilage or other tissues that are damaged.Spinal or epidural or general anesthesia will be used in most cases. You may also receive medicine to help you relax.Spinal or epiduralSpinal and epidural anesthesia are medicines that numb parts of your body to block pain.

These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin), and other drugs. Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery. Tell your doctor if you have been drinking a lot of alcohol, more than 1 or 2 drinks a day. If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor for help. Smoking can slow down wound and bone healing. On the day of your surgery:You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for 6 to 12 hours before the procedure. Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water. Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital. After the Procedure Whether you fully recover after hip arthroscopy depends on what type of problem was treated.If you also have arthritis in your hip, you will still have arthritis symptoms after hip surgery. Outlook (Prognosis) After surgery, you will need to use crutches for 2 to 6 weeks.During the first week, you should not place any weight on the side that had surgery. You will slowly be allowed to place more and more weight on the hip that had surgery after the first week. Your surgeon will tell you when it is OK to return to work. Most people can go back to work within 1 to 2 weeks if they are able to sit most of the time. You will be referred to physical therapy to begin an exercise program.Related Information Open ReferencesReferencesShah A, Busconi B. Hip and pelvis. In: DeLee JC, Drez D Jr, Miller MD, eds.

Week 7 was all about the 10 plagues of Egypt. We learned about Moses and each of the 10 plagues! We focused on the letter I and tied it into the insects of the plagues. Our kids love God's Little Explorers.
Plague 1: Water to blood. This was a huge hit and I can't believe I didn't get a picture! I prepared a little red cup by putting a couple drops of red food coloring in the bottom, and then filled a clear glass with tap water. I had the kids come over, and each pour a bit of water into the red cup until it was all in the red cup. Then I {very dramatically} poured the water back into the clear glass, and you should have seen their faces! It was priceless, and I felt like a magician. It was such a cool way to start off the plagues and the kids jumped right in. In fact, I had planned on spreading them out a few days, but they were so into it, we burned through them all in one sitting! When the kids are having fun, roll with it!
Plague 2: Frogs. We hopped around and talked about what it would be like to not even be able to take a step without accidentally stepping on one!
Plague 3: Lice. We pretended to itch ourselves silly. Itching each other, rolling on the floor giggling because we were itching each other turned into tickling pretty fast :)
Plague 4: Flies. We took turns with the fly swatter, and pretended to smack a bunch of flies. It's hard to see in the picture below, but our swatter is blue, you can see how into this the kids got. Olive is in full swing, trying to swat those dots on the floor!
Plague 5: Death of Livestock. We took out our pretend animals, set them all up, and then we knocked them down. We talked about how sad this would be and how it would also take away important food sources! No cows! No milk! Oh No! {We pretended our lions were cows}
Plague 6: Boils.We pretended that our skin had boils all over it! We wrapped our feet up with "bandages" and pretended we were hurt from all the boils!
Plague 7: Hail. We balled up pieces of paper and thew them in the air. We talked about how big hail can get and how it can damage our belongings, like houses and cars.
Plague 8: Locusts. {Or grasshoppers} We made egg carton locusts, or grasshoppers. The kids insisted that we NOT put eyes on them. I have clue why, but these little handmade toys are holding up surprisingly well and have been played with several times since. Always a bonus around here!
Plague 9: Darkness. We used blindfolds and tried to clean up the room {after all there were bugs and hail and bandages everywhere!}. We talked about how much we rely on the sun to light our day.
This was such a huge success with the kids, and to be honest, I learned a lot too! I knew some of the plagues, but acting them out like that really threw me in to the story, and I am thankful we don't have to worry about such hardships!
As if that wasn't fun enough, this week, we also decorated some bug jars and went in our own front yard to collect some crickets. I did a bit of research beforehand, and learned that crickets pretty much just survive on moldy grass, so we grabbed some handfuls of that and made ourselves a little habitat! {I punched holes in the lids the day before}
As lucky as we are to have an over-abundance of crickets in our yard, it was extremely easy for me to catch a few! You can hardly take a step in our yard without 5 or 6 jumping out of the way. So we invited some to spend the night...
When we released them, the kids made sure to instruct them to find their family and friends :)
Don't forget to head on over to Motherhood on a Dime to grab the curriculum!

You are going to have to remod the wii with a 4.2 guide....
what do you mean by thisMy HBC is messed up
So I recently received the Netflix disc for my Wii and I put it in. Like an idiot, I didn't do any research and thought that maybe I'll just load it like I would on a regular game disc (I have my Wii softmodded to 4.2U).
When I put the disc in, it asked for an update. I wasn't thinking at the time and confirmed it. The update totally messed up my softmod. Now I can't do anything. My HBC is messed up, I can't add in any wads, etc.
Is there any way to fix this issue? Please help! =[
Well, it's not technically "messed up." Nothing loads when I open up homebrew and then my controller turns off.
I tried to remod my Wii, but everytime I get to the point where I have to load stuff in the HBC, my controller turns off and everything just freezes.
after installing netflix with usb loader gx, some of the games won't play off hard drive. i'll try reinstalling the ones that don't work anymore.

After winning seven of their past 10 games, blowing out their past four opponents at home by a combined 65 points and having Nene declare that they planned on "shutting up people's mouths," the Wizards moved into some new territory when they stepped on the floor Monday night against the Sacramento Kings.
Suddenly, with John Wall back, the ball moving better than ever and confidence at an all-time high, they were looked upon as a team that is expected to win. And unfortunately, the Wizards played like a team that knew that a switch would go off at any point, that they would pull away from the Kings with a Wall driving dunk or a Martell Webster four-point play. It never happened.
"We let them stick around," Martell Webster said. "I think we kind of got into a mindstate where we felt, we can outscore these guys. We have to learn from those mistakes."
The Wizards lost, 96-94, as Kings guard Isaiah Thomas scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, including the game-winning floater with one second remaining. But they also seemed to lose track of the unselfish play and ball movement that helped them experience a modicum of success in the past three weeks – and allowed them to score 57 points in the first half.
In the second half, the Wizards had 12 turnovers and just eight assists and got lulled into the quick-shot, one-pass-and-go style of the Kings. "That's as bad a ball movement that we've had in almost a month and sometimes when things come easy. … I don't know if we reversed the ball more than three or four times," a flustered Coach Randy Wittman said afterward. "Whenever we have more turnovers than assists, that means we're trying to do too much on an individual basis."
If the Wizards hadn't fallen into the same trap in Sacramento less than two weeks ago, the slip up at home would've been more acceptable. But with two losses by a combined three points, the Wizards were upset about giving away the season series against on the worst teams in the Western Conference.
"We had the game won. We had opportunities to put them away. We didn't, in both games. That's on us," Bradley Beal said. "Enough is enough. We have to start closing out games."
When the Wizards were stumbling through the first two months of the regular season, they used close losses as a reflection of their competitive spirit and willingness to fight. But with Wall in the lineup and other pieces getting healthy, the Wizards expect more of themselves because, as Wall said, "we have the talent to do it."

When writers choose a font, they generally do so because of the character it imparts to their text. But for coders it's the opposite: they want a font that is generally characterless, so as not to obfuscate the massive bodies of code. Consequently, most coders prefer retro-style monospaced fonts, where each character takes up the exact same amount of horizontal space. Because a single typo can mess everything up, these simple, monospaced fonts make code a lot easier to read. They also make it easy for coders to do things like format discrete columns in their code for comments on the right side of a page.
Why do we use fonts not designed for readers? Fancy fonts are nice for creating images with text or using as titles and headers. But for reading content it seems a better reading font is required. Think about the fonts book publishers have been using for generations of books and people.
Having letters with wide, consistent spacing is most important for quick reading
Maybe fonts like FixedSys and others good for ASCII art will come back into general use again.

NARS Lip Gloss Review, Photos, Swatches (Sephora Exclusives)
NARS Lip Glosses: Albatross, Luxor, Super Orgasm, Luster, Angelika, Oasis
NARS Sephora Exclusive Lip Glosses
…coming to a Sephora near you! These officially launch on July 29th, and they are exclusive to Sephora and limited edition. Each shade is designed and created after several of NARS' best-selling blush shades that go by the same name. I showed you swatches and photos a week or so ago, but now I'm pleased to be able to give you lip swatches, too!
NARS Lip Glosses have a thinner texture, and they feel lightweight and don't dry out lips. They're not ultra hydrating, but they impart some moisture into lips while you wear 'em. I find them a little tacky but not sticky, but it definitely depends on how much you apply. They're scent- and taste-free, and you get a good amount for your $24 (0.28 oz.). Colors are on the sheerer side, like most lip glosses, but they all gave lips a different look than au natural, which is fantastic.
- Albatross is a semi-sheer champagne beige base with brighter champagne gold shimmer with a glossy sheen.
- Luxor is a sheer milky pink base with brighter pink shimmer and a glossy sheen. It's very similar to Albatross, just pink-toned. Luxor has a bit of an iridescent flash to it, which makes it a step up from your ordinary lip gloss. (This shade is a Nordstrom exclusive!)
- Super Orgasm is a light pink with golden sparkle. It has a slight milky, jelly kind ofl ook, but it gives some color, though it's hot opaque.
- Luster is a brownish beige with orange-gold shimmer. It's semi-sheer, and it's one of the shades that didn't seem to apply as evenly as I'd have liked. From a normal viewing distance, you couldn't really tell, though.
- Angelika is a bright pop of blue-based pink with a slight lilac edge. Despite the strong cool undertones, it's definitely wearable on warmer skin tones.
- Oasis is a mauvey pink with golden shimmer and a glossy look. This one was definitely my favorite, because it gave me some color but looked really lovely all on its own. More jelly, less milky, but still plenty glossy.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ!
- Product: 28/30
- Value: 9/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
Recommendation: If you're a fan of NARS' Lip Glosses (or even Blushes) and see a shade that suits you, they're definitely worth a look-see once they launch.
Availability: July 29th at Sephora

Numerate is a Bay Area biotechnology company that is leveraging proprietary algorithms and the power of cloud computing to make the drug design process more data driven, efficient, and predictable. Numerate's technology platform combines advances in computer science and statistics with medicinal chemistry to predict potential causes of drug success and failure at design time, and to identify the best compounds based on these predictions. Numerate applies this proprietary platform to rapidly design and develop small molecule therapeutics in collaboration with a variety of partners in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic fields. Numerate leverages Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and features such as Spot Instances to complete many of their core research projects.
Brandon Allgood, co-founder and Director of Computational Science at Numerate, explains that prior to the founding of Numerate, the team built and maintained a number of Beowulf-style clusters in-house. Now, he says, "We only have an IBM ~100 core bladecenter and a 48-core shared memory machine. The bladecenter is used for development and testing. We also maintain a number of database servers in house."
Allgood notes that after their experience with building and paying to maintain large clusters, the value of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to Numerate was "obvious." He says, "The cost of maintaining a large cluster is not compelling unless you can maintain a high percentage of utilization over time. We were never able to achieve such an average workload."
While the Numerate team looked carefully at Sun Grid and other compute rental options from groups such as IBM, they found that the other offerings were either too expensive or too inflexible for their spiky use cases. Allgood explains, "When we started using the cloud in 2007, AWS was, in our view, the only real choice for a cloud solution, especially from a security point of view. AWS still has a significant edge in terms of cost, and in terms of our ability to control both the setup and the security of our compute. Amazon has continued to innovate at an incredible pace to keep our costs low and create products that stay ahead of our needs."
Numerate has incorporated Amazon EC2 as a production computational cluster and Amazon S3 as cache storage. Allgood explains, "We have built a proprietary Java-based drug design platform architected to run on a cloud-based infrastructure to solve large-scale scientific compute problems. Unlike many MapReduce workloads, which tend to be IO-bound, our workloads are typically compute-bound and therefore require as many cores as possible with the minimal memory footprint of a gigabyte per core. Such computational requirements make Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 perfect for our use."
Like many large batch processing workflows, Numerate has leveraged Sun Grid Engine (recently renamed Oracle Grid Engine), an open source framework, to schedule their compute jobs across hundreds of instances. For optimal instance security, Numerate uses OpenVPN to create a secure virtual network and has modified IPTables on their default Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). Numerate stores processing results in Amazon S3, which they secure using Perl and Apache tools including the JetS3t library. The remainder of the automation is done using Perl and Bash scripts to initialize environments correctly and move data.
In February 2011 alone, the company reduced its instance costs by 50 percent by leveraging Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. "We were comfortable bidding below the On-Demand price to ensure we were benefiting from significant cost savings, and we typically have gotten all of the instances we need," Allgood says.
Numerate developed an in-house fault tolerant solution to manage potential node termination, enabling them to restart interrupted instances automatically. "For us, there were minimal changes to our application, on the order of five engineering days, and we were able to get significant cost savings immediately. The main changes we made included minor workflow changes to place persistent Spot bids whenever we added nodes to the cluster and the addition of a monitoring system to autonomously detect and handle AMIs coming up and going down."
Nigel Duffy, Numerate's CTO, notes that using AWS allows the Numerate team to spend their time doing higher level tasks: "Amazon EC2, in particular, allows us to be more agile and responsive to our partners' needs, and allows us to deliver on time even in the face of unforeseen challenges."
Allgood offers some security advice to other developers. Regarding isolation, he says, "On Amazon EC2 we only use eight core high-CPU XL instances. This lowers the risk of a side-channel attack and has the added advantage of getting the most out of the network card.
Numerate employs access control methods for further security, using encryption wherever possible and practical on Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3.
Another lesson learned, according to Allgood, is, "Do not underestimate the impact of the latency between your organization and the Amazon EC2 facility."
Numerate is looking at incorporating Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for future products and capabilities. They are also excited to make use of some of the new features of Amazon EC2, such as having the ability to use their own key-pairs.
"Our business is truly enabled by AWS," says Duffy. "The capital efficiency that AWS offers allows us to share risk with our partners. The flexibility allows us to deliver the results we promise. Combining these enable us pursue a business with an unlimited upside."

Phone novel is the fiction that can only be read on cell phones. SMS, E-mail and Java application are the main ways to give form to a phone novel. Java application gives the most compact design in these methods. The first phone novel was published in 2004 in Japan, titled 'Deep Love' written by Yoshi. Later, phone novels caught on in Korea, China and Switzerland. Phone novels are also called Mobile novels, Cell phone novels and Mobile fiction. In November 2004 an attempt was made in India by a man called Ro Gue to create a SMS novel-Cloak Room- in English by sending 16 SMS to customers. But the attempt was stopped without a real ending.
The first phone novel to be released in any Indian language is Neelakkannukal (Blue Eyes) written & presented by P.R.Harikumar, a lecturer in Malayalam, Sree Sankara College, Kalady. The size of the novel with all its six chapters is 70KB. This is embedded in a screen as a Java Application. Any Java enabled mobile phone is qualified enough for reading this Malayalam novel in its small screen. No other program or font is needed for the purpose. The story depicted in this novel-Neelakkannukal-is about a lady teacher who travels in wrong ways due to her ill-fated life conditions. The mental agony she feels due to the same is beautifully pictured in the novel. To give chance to experience the nature of his works, he has already distributed 600 copies of this phone novel free of cost among the Malayalam readers worldwide. The novel was well received worldwide by the Malayalam community.
Earlier, Harikumar has made the mobile editions of Adhyatma Ramayanam in Malayalam (340 KB in size) and Thirukkural in Tamil (110 Kb in size). Both of them made headlines in the media.

Warm Lentils with Vinaigrette
Most lentils sold in France are small, flat and green, with the tiny lentils of Le Puy the most prized variety. The rustic legumes are prepared in a variety of ways: tossed while still warm with a mustard-flavored vinaigrette, dressed with truffle shavings for serving alongside duck or grilled salmon, or combined with onion and other aromatics for a cold-weather soup. Or, they might be fashioned into a full meal by simmering them with sausages, such as saucisses de Toulouse, petit sale (lightly cured pork), rabbit or partridge. These lentils are delicious served warm with duck confit or roasted pork tenderloin (see related recipes at left).

To understand this, you have to understand the relationship Red Hat Enterprise Linux has with recompile derivatives. While the compiled RPMs for RHEL cost money and are not redistributable without a license, the source RPMs are nearly all open source. Anyone with a RHEL license can download the RHEL SRPMs and do a recompile. This was great for people who want a RHEL-alike without paying for licenses and CentOS (and then Scientific Linux) came into existence. Red Hat was pleased with this because it gave a cheap way for enterprise customers to try RHEL and eventually become customers who pay for licenses/support.
Then came Oracle Linux who did the exact same thing as CentOS and Scientific Linux, but started charging for licenses and support outside of Red Hat's control. Red Hat wasn't pleased so they started packaging their SRPMs so instead of them containing upstream tarball with RH patch files, they would ship tarballs only or mega huge patch files without comments pointing to the relevent Red Hat bugzilla bug. This made it harder for Oracle to provide support to their customers, but it also had the effect of causing CentOS to get delayed by a good amount every new RHEL release.
Without a quick turnaround on CentOS releases that match RHEL releases, it threatened to kill their "the first one is free" business model. And it probably caused some customers to switch to cheaper Oracle value-added distributors. So Red Hat's only remaining move is to make a relationship with CentOS official. Presumably most of the relationship with be done in private to keep Oracle from gaining an advantage.

Air quality in Bodmin among worst in county
Posted: September 30, 2013|
AIR QUALITY in Bodmin is among the worst in Cornwall – and one man feels it is affecting his health.
Results from the Cornwall Air Quality Unit's (CAQU) air pollution monitoring report show that air quality in Bodmin is getting worse.
The CAQU has a partnership agreement with Cornwall Council and results from tests carried out between January and June this year show that pollution has worsened since 2012.
There are currently 'hotspots' in Cornwall where air pollution standards are failing to meet national air quality objectives, with Bodmin being one of them.
The UK legal limit for annual mean levels of nitrogen dioxide – the gas emitted from cars and lorries – is 40 micrograms per cubic metre, a limit first put in place in 2005.
Eight locations along Dennison Road and St Leonard's exceeded this level in the latest report, compared to seven locations in 2012.
Only the combined Camborne-Pool-Redruth area had more sites exceeding the limit in 2012, making Bodmin the worst affected single town in Cornwall.
Although research suggests that the health effects of nitrogen dioxide are not as significant as other pollutants, the World Health Organisation states that the levels of the gas are a reasonable marker of exposure to more dangerous emissions.
Approximately 29,000 people in the UK die prematurely each year due to poor air quality.
Tudor Pascoe, who lives in the St Leonard's region of the town, said he is worried about his health and that of everybody living in the area.
"In the summer, I could smell the pollution in the air as I stepped out the door," Mr Pascoe said.
"It was like being hit by a brick wall. My dog was sneezing and wheezing. We're all concerned."
Mr Pascoe said he has written to Cornwall Council but doesn't believe it will act.
Under the Environment Act 1995, local authorities are required to assess and, if necessary, take action, in matters relating to air quality.
As levels of nitrogen dioxide in Bodmin are exceeding the current legal limit, the council has a duty to initiate remedial action by declaring an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and preparing an Action Plan to improve air quality.
An AQMA was declared for Bodmin in 2008 and also for Camborne-Pool-Redruth and Tideford.
Environmental protection officer Eloise Travis said a county-wide Action Plan was published by the council earlier this year.
"The actions primarily relate to sustainable travel; however, there is a need for a review of these actions in light of the work being undertaken on the Bodmin Town Framework by my colleagues," Miss Travis said.
The four specific actions relating to sustainable travel include improving the town's pedestrian environment and promoting walking and cycling activities, as well as the continuing monitoring of air quality.
The council has recently installed a new nitrogen dioxide gas monitoring station at the corner of Dennison Road and Crockwell Street. Miss Travis said once further Town Framework consultation is complete later this year, the Action Plan and Town Framework will be linked, possibly by early 2014.

Chris Pompey begins his fourth season as an assistant coach with the Aggies. In 2008-09, the Aggies posted a winning record (17-15) and a third-place finish in the WAC.
With a junior, two sophomores and two freshmen in the starting line-up, the Aggies had the conference's leading scorer in guard Jahmar Young and top rebounder in forward Wendell McKines. NM State also paced the league in scoring (76.3 points per game), steals per game (7.22) along with 3-point field goal percentage (40.0), which ranked 10th in the country.
In 2007-08, the Aggies won their first regular season WAC title. NMSU was co-champions after finishing 12-4 in the conference, which was the best mark in school history. Nationally, the Aggies ranked in the top 25 in three statistical team categories including rebounding margin. NM State was second in the country, only trailing North Carolina, with an advantage of 8.9 rebounds per game. The high-powered Aggie offense also ranked No. 17 in scoring offense (79.8 points per game) and No. 24 in field goal percentage (47.6).
Pompey and the Aggies (21-14) played in their second consecutive WAC Tournament title game narrowly missing the NCAA Tournament after falling in triple overtime to Boise State in one of the most exciting conference championship games of the season. In addition, NM State posted the 23rd 20-plus win season in the program's history following a schedule that includes games at Duke, Louisville and against Texas and West Virginia.
In his first year at NM State, Pompey helped recruit a top 20 2007 class, which included Parade fourth team All-American Herb Pope and Jahmar Young, and Rivals.com rated it the third best among mid-major schools in the nation. The Aggies went 25-9 in 2006-07 and won their first WAC Tournament. NM State made its 17th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, which was the first since 1999.
Pompey spent six seasons at Hartford before becoming an assistant at Hampton. In just under a month as an assistant at Hampton, Pompey helped bring a top 50 recruiting class to the Pirates' program.
At Hartford, Pompey helped build the Hawks into one of the premiere teams in the America East Conference. Hartford had the second-best turnaround in the country from 2001-02. The Hawks reached the semifinals of the America East Conference Championships three times (2002, 2003, 2004). In 2005-06 head coach Larry Harrison was named the America East Conference Coach of the Year after Hartford advanced to the conference tournament as the No. 4 seed. The Hawks also finished third in the league three times (2001-02, 2002-03, 2005-06).
While at Hartford, Pompey was recognized as one of the top mid-major assistant coaches in the country by the Hoop Scoop from 2003 to 2006 while serving as the primary recruiting coordinator for the program. Pompey was also responsible for coaching the wing/forward positions and helped six players earn all-conference accolades during his tenure, including two honorees, Kenny Adeleke and Aaron Cook.
Before joining the Hartford staff in 2000, Pompey spent eight years as the founder, director and head coach of the DC Stars AAU basketball program in Washington, D.C. Under his leadership, the DC Stars became nationally recognized as one of the premiere AAU programs in the country. From 1992 to 2000, Pompey and the DC Stars coached and developed over 100 athletes who moved on to play at the Division I level. In 1998, Pompey led the first 17-and-under team from Washington, D.C. to the championship game of the Bob Gibbon's Tournament of Champions in North Carolina. Two years later, the DC Stars took home the title at the 2000 Footstopper's Hoop Classic in Washington, D.C.
Pompey has been a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches since 2000 and has worked with programs such as the Boys and Girls Club and the Morgan Wooten Basketball Camps.
A 1984 Pittsburgh graduate, Pompey was a member of the Panthers' football program and a teammate of Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. Pompey resides in Las Cruces, N.M., and he has two children Krystal and Chris.
