The Responsibility Revolution
When: 5.30pm, 17th May 2010
Where: Lecture Theatre G06, Roberts Building
Keynote Speaker: Jeffrey Hollender, author of The Responsibility Revolution and co-founder of Seventh Generation.
UCL Speakers:
Professor Maria Lee (UCL Laws), Dr Marc Moore (Director of the UCL
Centre for Ethics & Law), Dr Colin Provost, (UCL Political Science)
and Andrew Grainger (Director of UCL Estates & Facilities).
Following the global financial crisis, and as we consider how to address the global challenge of climate change, do businesses need a new model of corporate behaviour? Jeffrey Hollender's The Responsibility Revolution: How the Next Generation of Businesses Will Win argues that for too long our definition of what constitutes 'responsible' corporate behaviour has been dangerously timid and blinkered. To confront the economy's and society's daunting challenges, companies must do more than monitor factories, donate to charities, and trumpet efforts to be a little less bad. The responsibility revolution is about re-imaging companies from within: innovating new ways of working; instilling a new logic of competing; and redefining the very purpose and possibility of business. As the economy improves, doing good will be the key to doing well: the companies that commit to socially and environmentally responsible business will create long-term sustainable value.
Followed by a drinks reception in the Roberts foyer.

Dr. Arlene Joyner's Ratings
It was another doctor in her office at the time. My problem started when I asked to see my child while he was receiving a tooth extraction and the dental assistant announced and i quote "Show and Tell" twice. Well, that comment right there made me very concerned. My son was so nervous he seemed to be hyperventilating. I tried to calm him down with no luck. He seemed to be in pain while receiving nitrous oxide. I was then told they need to finish and was escorted towards the reception area. Meanwhile I was talking about my insurance at the front desk, I could hear my son screaming out like he was in the worst pain of his life. I wanted to cry. After it was over the doctor informed me that the gas had no affect on him. I said you still pulled his tooth with out trying another method or coming to tell me so that I could have made a decision if I wanted another option like anestesia or another type of sedation and on top of it I touched his lip and he said he can feel it.

Employment of mothers with infants
June 08, 1999
The employment of mothers with infants—children under 1 year—was little changed last year, at 53.6 percent. However, among married mothers with infants, the proportion with jobs fell by more than a percentage point, to 55.2 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
In contrast, mothers with other marital statuses experienced a large gain in employment. Last year, 48.4 percent of them worked for pay, up from 43.4 percent in 1997. This rise, combined with the decline in jobholding by married mothers, narrowed the difference in employment by marital status.
Mothers of infants increasingly worked part time in 1998. Of the married mothers, 32.7 percent with jobs were part-time workers, compared to 31.5 percent in 1997. Of the other mothers with jobs, 35.7 percent had part-time schedules last year, compared with 35.5 percent in 1997.
These data on the employment of mothers are produced by the Current Population Survey. "Other marital status" includes never-married, divorced, separated, and widowed. More information can be found in "Employment characteristics of families in 1998," news release USDL 99-146.

Home > Education > Schools in Auroville for Village children > NCBS > Newsletter June 2009
In printable format
Dear friends, vanakkam ! Looking at the photo of this year's NCBS graduates, we're sure you share with us our pride and happiness when seeing these young, confident and healthy girls and boys, formed by our school, ready to carry their lives forward with our blessings and love.
Historic transition
We highly value the underlying philosophy of the fair which encouraged students' scholarly and creative work, nurtured their sense of inquiry and curiosity, and gave them an opportunity to express their understanding in print, speech and products which ranged from posters to working machines.
NCBS students in particular had downloaded, explored and studied works from the world's great scientists, and demonstrated with small replicas and self-made models in clear steps how the various discoveries and inventions of these great ones work. It was very impressive to hear them not only describe but also explain why things happen, and this with confidence, understanding and in good clear English. In general, v isitors were highly impressed with the young people's commitment and obvious sense of enjoyment at sharing science. The extensive preparation of the space, exhibits, evaluation forms and certificates was exceptional.
You may imagine how inspiring and uplifting it was to see students from so many different schools participating in a joint venture and learning from each other. As for audience, altogether some 30 00 students from 11 schools in the bio-region plus two Puducherry government schools visited the fair. NCBS staff and visitors expressed their appreciation for the excellent collaboration and team work between initiative-taker Anbu and NCBS science teachers Perumal and Murugaian, 2 nd grade teacher Selvaraj and computer teacher Kartikayan.
Students from Kuilapalayam Trust School explaining the working principle of an atomic power plant.
Next year's topic will be 'Our Universe'. Maybe a reason for you to come and visit us in February! You're most welcome!
La Piscine Water-Polo
On Tuesday 19th February, a team representing NCBS won the 'La Piscine Water-Polo Champions Trophy' for 2009 by beating Auroville's Udavi School 9 goals to 1. Every year, Sue, the mom of a British Aurovilian, comes to teach water polo once a week to 6 th through 8 th grade students who take swimming class. A special feature is that girls and boys play on the teams together, and Savitri, in charge of the sports area and swimming pool in the New Creation settlement, provided the players with proper (and cute!) swimming suits and other gear.
Also this year NCBS was blessed again with fresh input from a team of bright and spirited volunteers, infusing the school with their original approaches, skill and lively 'internationalness'. Their presence was invaluable for both students and teachers and immensely appreciated by all.
Writes Aaron: " I believe that it is because of the teachers and role-models who help mould NCBS, that the children from these villages will grow for generations, to become confident and valuable contributors to the future of their villages and India . A thank-you is in order to Principal Shankar. His consistent smile and gentle words are the passionate, open arms that embrace and characterise this unique school."
Volunteers we welcomed this year , from l to r:
Dianne Coventry, Aaron Cinquemani , both M. ED students from Antioch University New England who did their teaching internship at NCBS; young Sheila Oluborode , just fresh from High School in Germany came to us via the Weltwaerts volunteer organisation; Sandra Ellis, volunteer English teacher from the UK ; Matt Halpin from University of Washington who also made a lovely little film clip on the school's organic garden; and last but not least Chris Gould, elementary bilingual teacher in USA, who also taught in Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, South Korea. Thank you all!
The outer life of the world..
The school's garden has been a joy for all and enriched our lunches with different kinds of tomato, lettuce, various spinaches, sweet basil, chillies, maize, tapioca, radishes, onions, ginger, bitter gourds, cucumber, pumpkin, papaya, various ladies fingers, green pepper/capsicum (one!). Also flowers such as zinnias, sunflowers, Mexican sunflowers, 'Radha's consciousness' flowers, and marigolds.
Plans for the coming year include: fewer varieties of tomatoes, more capsicum, more spinach, many big sunflowers, and... a new herb garden with medicinal and culinary herbs, tulsi, lemongrass and more.
Thank you, Rajan & friends!
The new building is rapidly coming up !
Once again you see on this page an image of a busy construction site! And yes, one more structure is coming up, containing a space for a real Library , a Special Needs Room and a well equipped Science Laboratory. This urgently required building, which may very well be the last one as our small campus is getting overcrowded, is partly financed by a German government grant obtained through Auroville International Germany, and partly by friends in France , U.K and Germany . We are extremely grateful that this could come to pass and thank all who were instrumental in this!
We see it as a true blessing, and clear encouragement, that presently th e psychological shadow of financial uncertainty has been somewhat lifted from us and specially thank those of our friends who were extra generous this year with funds for our running costs and children's nutrition. May you please stay with us, so that the current strong momentum won't be broken, and the good work can proceed unhindered.

The number of fungal meningitis cases in Florida has risen to 10, the Florida Department of Health said Saturday.
Officials confirmed that a case of fungal meningitis in Escambia County is associated with contaminated steroid injections from the New England Compounding Center.
Officials said a 47-year-old man who received treatment from Pain Consultants of West Florida in Pensacola was injected with one of the tainted shots.
Six facilities in Florida have received and used the contaminated injections. Florida Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong said they do not anticipate "more patients will be affected" as the investigation continues.
Health officials said the number of cases nationwide have sickened at least 198 people, including 15 deaths across 13 states. The outbreak has prompted calls for tighter federal regulation of compounding pharmacies.

In 2012, nearly 40,000 women will die from breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Only lung cancer tops the gender-biased blight as the primary cause of cancer death in American women.
There are a few things a lady can do to protect herself from the dangers posed by breast cancer. Getting to know your breasts by performing regular self-exams is one of the best ways to spot a potential problem before it becomes a major health concern.
Another way to cut your chances of developing this deadly disease is by adopting healthy lifestyle habits that include a nutritious diet and a regular exercise program.
But just how much do you need to work out every week? How much weight gain is too much?

Should Science Debate Pseudoscience?
Do debates against pseudoscience advance the cause of science, or do they do more harm than good?
by Brian Dunning

August 18, 2009
Podcast transcript | Listen | Subscribe
By Brian Dunning, Skeptoid Podcast
Episode 167, August 18, 2009
Today I'm going to propose a bit of a radical idea. About every week I get invited to debate someone — on another podcast, on the radio, in person — and I'm invited to take the side of science and debate a pseudoscientist. It might be a ghost hunter, it might be a Young Earth Creationist, it might be a practitioner of alternative medicine, always based on some Skeptoid episode I've done that ruffled someone's feathers. Although I used to always accept these invitations, I now always decline them. I have concluded that it is not only useless for science to debate pseudoscience, it is actually counterproductive to science. Today I'm going to argue that no scientist should ever agree to debate a pseudoscientist about a scientific question.
The exception, of course, is court cases, but that's a legal process and not the type of open debate designed to illuminate the public that we're talking about here. In court it's always essential that science put its best foot forward in order to continue strengthening the bond between laws and facts. In court, there are consequences if you lie or make stuff up. In debates, there are no consequences for making stuff up, and there is no tangible benefit for the one who brings the best evidence. Courts of law reward good evidence; debates reward only good rhetoric. A judge is trained to see the difference between evidence and rhetoric, but a debate audience is rarely so well equipped.
I'm not saying that science should not be debated internally. Efforts to falsify existing theory are the core of the scientific method. There is the common analogy of three concentric circles: the center represents the core fundamentals that virtually never change; then the second circle where all the scientific work and research is constantly working out the details, and where scientific debate occurs; then the outer circle is the fringe research which has yet to establish any validity. While scientific debate advances the process of examining and refining the second circle, pseudoscientific debate seeks to throw out the established core fundamentals and replace them with a different set of fundamentals that have never gone through any kind of scientific development. Appropriate scientific debate not only has a place, it's an essential part of the process; but presenting the core fundamentals as if they are comparable to non-scientific alternatives serves no constructive purpose whatesoever.
The primary reason I oppose debates is that a debate, by definition, allows two competing views to be explored and compared, and arguments presented for each. The audience is expected to weigh these arguments and hopefully decide which one they found more compelling. The very nature of a debate presents science as if it is merely a competing opinion. When we agree to a debate, we are agreeing to drag science down to the level of a view that competes with pseudoscience. Simply by agreeing to the debate, we present the scientific method as being vulnerable to disassembly by fallacious pseudoscientific arguments. That's the message we send: Science is not fact, science is merely opinion; and it's as weak as any other.
There's another unfortunate reality about debates, and that's the dirty little not-so-secret that everyone who attends a debate has typically already made up their mind, and has been invited to attend by one side or the other. They are huge proponents of their side, and neither debater has much hope of changing the minds of anyone in the room. Most debates probably have a handful of attendees who are open to actually learning something, but they are an extreme minority. If you've ever attended a debate of any kind, you know what I'm talking about.
When you advertise a debate, maybe 1,000 people will attend. And let's say you do a smashing job and manage to convince that entire handful of convincable attendees that science is real. Great, you won over five people. But what you're forgetting is that for those 1,000 attendees, there are 5,000 people out there who heard about the debate (they saw the ads or flyers or whatever) who did not attend. What you unintentionally communicated to those 5,000 people is that your scientific discipline is academically comparable to the pseudoscientific version, and that both are equally valid. The fact that the debate exists at all struck a blow to the public's perception of the credibility of science that far outweighs any progress you may have made in the room.
I've been the lone representative of science in the room, the one they introduce as "a real trooper for agreeing to come into the lion's den." I've received the condescending smattering of applause from the room where every single person is against me and everything I have to say, but they've "shown me that they're good people too and will treat me respectfully in spite of how misguided I am." Nice folks. And then I'd walk back to my car and every time I'd say to myself "That was a friggin ridiculous waste of time." And I guarantee that their writeup of the event in their newsletter would say I was a nice guy, I was a real trooper to come and talk, and they probably planted within me a seed that would eventually bloom into full-blown science denial, and they'd love to have me back someday to see how that seed has germinated. Going to debate at an event sponsored by the pseudoscience group is always a ridiculous waste of your time. You serve merely as a masturbation enabler for them. Next time, send them a stack of dirty magazines instead.
It has been argued that scientists have a huge advantage in debates because we have the facts on our side. Well, so we do, but that's not an advantage at all. Rather, it's a limitation. The audience members who are not scientists can rarely discriminate between facts and pseudofacts. The pseudoscientist has an unlimited supply of sources and claims and validations. He can say whatever he wants. If compelling rhetoric would benefit from any given argument, he can always make that argument. Pseudosciences have typically been designed around compelling rhetorical arguments. The facts of science, on the other hand, rarely happen to coincide with the best possible logic argument. Having the facts on your side is not an advantage, it's a limitation; and it's a limitation that's very dangerous to the cause of science should you throw it onto the debate floor.
It has also been argued that scientists should debate pseudoscience because if we don't, we allow them to have an unchallenged platform, and the only voice being heard is theirs. I don't buy this argument at all. Not holding a debate doesn't silence us any more than it silences them. Both retain the same "unchallenged platforms" that both have always enjoyed. We have free speech in our society, and anyone who wants to will always have a voice whether we choose to hold a debate or not. What's important is the quality and reach of our voice. I say that science communication should be its own one-way platform. We're the ones who should be refusing to give the pseudoscientists an apparently-equal voice by agreeing to debate them. Science benefits the public, pseudoscience harms the public. We should be doing all we can to promote good science communication, and to refuse to admit the voice of pseudoscience, at every opportunity. They have their free speech already; we don't need to be turbocharging it for them by letting them leech off the credibility we've earned.
I've heard another argument in favor of debating, and that's that when you win, reporters will trumpet that result to a much wider audience. Well, that's an awfully gutsy roll of the dice you're making. Who is this reporter? What makes you so sure he's going to think your position is the stronger? And consider that it's going to be yet another article contributing to the false perception that science and pseudoscience represent two equally valid, debatable perspectives.
I say, take any energies you might be inclined to devote toward preparing for a debate, and instead devote that time to prepare a one-way science presentation that will amaze and enlighten, without any polluted cargo of pseudoscience being delivered alongside. It is not cowardly to protect the delivery of valuable information.
No doubt this episode of Skeptoid will be laughed at by the purveyors of nonsense, saying that I'm advising science to tuck its tail between its legs and run because we know we can't win any debates, because we've discovered that magical thinking is in fact real, and stronger than science. You may well receive this same criticism when you decline a debate. Don't worry about it. Don't feed the trolls. Let the schoolyard bully tease and taunt, you have better things to do than engage him.
Neither am I saying that science should not respond to the promotion of pseudoscience in pop culture. Absolutely we should; my point is that debates are the wrong way to do it. We should write articles like Simon Singh's. We should inject good science into the media through projects like the Science and Entertainment Exchange. We should continue to produce high quality content like podcasts, videos, and TV shows that appeal to a broad audience with entertaining content, and that deliver powerful doses of science education and critical thinking skills; and that never open the door a crack to the contamination of pseudoscience. These are the ways to effectively impact society positively.
So to all of you debaters out there, you may agree with some of my points, or you may disagree with all of them. But like I always say: Whether I'm right or wrong makes no difference. What matters is that you're thinking about these questions. Don't accept any invitation to debate before you consider all of its implications. Science should be taught as fact, not offered as an alternative opinion in a debate.

You inform us Pablo, that common sense tells you the world is flat - My response is "does it?"
I never had that problem. Common sense told me that the world is round, that all people are similar in nature and there there is no such thing as a "race"
It told me that Christian theology was largely rubbish based on fairy stories, that there was no Noah's Ark and that wealth was very unfairly shared according to rules that were made before I was born, and which I would never have made.
My early childhood misapprehensions came from adult lies and jokes which began with Santa Claus and the Christmas story and went on to me believing that Australia had kangaroos "because it was big" and New Zealand wallabies "because it was small" - there are no wallabies in NZ. Nor do Chinese eyes go up and Japanese down
Of course the core of these lies is not lack of common sense in the child but rather loving belief in the core lie that adults are trustworthy
I remember seeing two little children - one French one English - playing happily together on a beach for hours on end. They became best friends. Asked about it the English child said she had a lovely time and really liked her new friend - but "she speaks scribble"
That's common sense uncontaminated by prejudice.
An excellent article. I think we do not need to doctor discussion on science. Pseudoscience will not be able to survive for long, it will disappear on its own. The history of objective science goes back to the first human being born on this earth. "... Since the discovery of fire and the wheel, he never took a rest from unraveling the mysteries of the world." quoting from (ScienceDebate.com. Science will continue to thrive.
I deplore the term "common sense". Please guys, its the masses that believe common sense is a good thing.
I'd much rather see diversity of opinion (not phantasm) and continual innovation.
common sense tells you that you will see a rabbit.
Innovation told men that catching it may be a great way of finding out what it tastes like.
Common sense had a man in the moon, not on the moon.
It is in now way correct to debate complex issues and formulate action on the gut feeling you have at the time. Things we vote on and maintain or reject may be totally irrelevant with technological advances over the next decades but we vote to halt those advances as well.
The time governments waste debating commonsense issues may seem fair, but how can the voter or parliamentarian do anything else but to go by its philosophy on issues it has absolutely no expertise with.
I'd say we go back to the savannah and enjoy the rabbits running by. Its effectively what we have always done being common folk having a common sense.
A good example is the way we giggle at klingons boasting of glorious death in battle. What a ridiculous idea..It is..and, we still have a goodly proportion of klingons amongst us.
Its hard to criticise anyones stance if you (just like the rest of us) have the odd klingon in your clan.
(Now for my big polemic!) Stand up.. smash your calculators and send you kid to a university where they have to work hard every week of semester. Vote nuclear, vote renewable!
The only real problem I have with this is that not debating does send a message. It's not an admission of weakness -although it can be presented as such- nor does it do any direct harm to science's ability to communicate, as Brian pointed out communication is often the last thing such events are about.
However one of the more frequent criticisms I've encountered is a perception that science is elitist; a relatively small group of like minded people who are arrogant and dismissive of the opinions of those less intelligent/rational.
Saying that debating with pseudo-scientific thinkers demeans or diminishes science may well be true, but it's not difficult to see how someone who believes, or at least hasn't been convinced of the flaws in, say...homeopathy might find that statement offensive.
To say that science is fact rather than opinion does nothing to alter the fact that it's opinion that needs to be changed if anything is going to be accomplished. If you totally dismiss a person's belief; intentionally or not calling it unworthy of reasoned discussion then the odds are good that they will be equally dismissive in turn. After all it's just another opinion to them, at least until they're convinced of the validity of its methods and motivation.
If science's chief proponents are seen to be uninterested in discussion, or as treating other systems of thought with high handed contempt then surely that also runs the risk of damaging sciences reputation?
Its pretty easy when you debate pseudoscience to come to the conclusion that you are talking to someone who isnt familiar with a mid high school science text book.
If you think scientists are elitists, argue with your most accessible technologists, plumbers, electricians and mechanics.
I am sure you will lose every time. I still havent seen a single post calling these very useful people as elitists.
Now to Simeon's latter paragraphs a lot of scientists would view pseudo science as non science. They do not debate non science, they can only expose it.
Whilst you may think a scam artist has a valid view, its only about getting as much money and recognition for the minimum of work. That's why pseudoscience can be invented on the spot by relation to some very accesible ideas by folk who should be doing something less egregious with their allotted time.
Sure I know well meaning people who set up this way. But they have cherry picked a set of mission statements rather than learning a little bit of science. When confronted (usually energy transfer) they change the subject with the best relational operator in their arsenal;
Once the magic term "but" is uttered, the direction of the conversation is forced to change until the next;
The whole point of this is for a scientist to debate scam artists the scam artist has to elevate and argue science or be ignored.
I debate pseudoscience out of perversity.

"There are no internet police... People say whatever they want on the internet and it's not fair!"- Mike Petrucelli, Kangen-water (snakeoil) salesman- quote taken from youtube video
A Kangen believer I know has actually used the "no internet police" argument with me to debate science. They can say whatever they want without scientific facts and they judge us according to themselves.
Almost mandatory reading on common sense being a false sense of security.
I do miss Cam of Thunder Bay and Tom H. of Kent.
Kept the "common sensers" honest.
Its common sense not to think about things.
It's a damned shame Bill Nye couldn't take this advice. It's always galling to see fringe theories legitimized by public figures giving them the undue honor of a debate.
I have several friends and family who are, unfortunately, young earth creationists, and I anecdotally see the excitement and sense of vindication that just the news of the upcoming debate at Ken Ham's Creation Fantasy Amusement Park gives them.
I really can't help but agree that debating delusional advocates of pseudo-science at best results in preaching to your own choir, which is never worth the sense of legitimacy it gives to the pseudo-science advocates.
Perhaps what is needed is for the Scientific community to 'chose the battleground'? Take the fight to THEM and invite them to support their pseudoscientific delusions in front of OUR crowd. Also I an rather disappointed that the TV companies (even those who should know better - like Discovery Channel) are so happy to give unchallenged airtime to supporters of psuedo-science. I am fine with 'ghosthunter' type programs and the like, they are great fun as entertainment, but don't have any place on channels that purport to support scientific thinking!
Bill Nye knows what he's doing. His real cause is ridding the schools of teaching creationism. He's bringing attention to this issue that too many people are frightened to touch.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A decision that impacts hundreds of parents who have children in Head Start programs are demanding some answers and an extended school year.
Last week, parents learned that Head Start is ending its school year this Friday, May 17 for nearly 1,500 students. The plan also calls for summer programs to be suspended.
"I just want to work this thing out to where students, the children can stay in school and the parents can stay at work," said LaShana Porter who said she is one of fortunate parents since she can take her four year-old to work.
The Community Development Institute since last month began operating the Head Start program as the Jacksonville Urban League was squeezed out following problems with safety issues at the center.
CDI, in a letter to parents, said it needs more time this summer to train staff when it comes to safety. That's the reason given for ending the school year three weeks early and having no summer program.
"Accountability must be for all of us and they (CDI) are not excluded," said Reverend R.L. Gundy, who is the local and state president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
Gundy was among a group of pastors, elected officials and parents who went to headquarters of Head Start on Davis Street demanding some answers.
"I get my instructions from the office of Head Start," said manager Suellen Hixon who briefly met with Pastor Gundy surrounded by fellow pastors and parents.
A petition push is also underway asking the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services along with the Office of Head Start to reconsider decisions made that shorten the school year.
Parents plan to work for signatures at centers across the city starting on Thursday.

Mastodon Kush – Homegrown (McDabbers503)
There's not much that impresses me more than you guys growing your own fire meds. Mcdabbers503 put some TLC into this batch of Mastodon Kush. –Tokeahontas
It's light green, very frosty, and has a few remaining parts of some leafs. The buds are dense and slightly pointed but very round and fat. You can look down between the parts of bud and see it is thick with trichs. The trichs are mostly cloudy but a few amber trichs can be found as well. The hairs are very thin and orange. They are all over the bud but covered up in some areas. I guess the trim job could be a little better.
The smell inside the jar is dank. It's very earthy with a spicy undertone. Break a nug open and the spicy undertone is brought out and accompanied by a musty smell. It is very kushy and it reminds me of Master more than any of my other cuts. While the smell isn't super loud it is a good earthy smell that is quite strong. It's just not leaking from the jar lid status.
From a freshly cleaned water pipe with a hot glass rod, it had little taste on the inhale maybe some light musky earthy taste. The inhale has a very light generic Kush taste, but the exhale sure has a little more to offer in the taste department. On the exhale there is a bit stronger of a taste. It is very similar to the smell– a spicy kushy taste with a very earthy undertone. I am remembered of Master Kush every time I hit this bud. It may not be super delicious but it has a fair amount of a tasty kush flavor.
Out of a pipe the taste is not only stronger but better. It has a lot more on the inhale. The exhale also seems to have picked up a piney slightly OG flavor.
Overall this is a great tasting Kush and I would recommend it to any Kush lover.
This cut of Mastodon is extremely stoney. I use this flower to help me sleep at night. At first inhale, you start to feel it behind the eyes. After the small amount of coughing I start to feel it down into my back. It then begins to relax your back mostly in the lower back, then it moves to a stoney head high making you a little slow and very relaxed. After a few hits and a little time you feel it in the face. It's very stoney right in the center of your face making you just want to close your eyes and rest. Overall, I like to smoke this about half an hour before bed. It has a pretty rough come down but I prefer to go to sleep while I'm still medicated from it.
1 hour in and you can feel yourself starting to sober up. But for most people they would be still plenty medicated. Before 2 hours comes around it's time to medicate again.
Overall I'm quite happy with this strain. 2/3 of the cuts I was happy with and even kept one as a mother plant. It has an awesome stone. Cuts that smell and look like bubba kush are easy to find also, if master kush doesn't sound appealing. I would recommend this strain to any kush lover or people with pain, sleeping problems and it even does a good job with appetite. I included one pic of the mother plant as I don't have pics from flower. –McDabbers503

Nice grow McD sounds like a lovely kush I'm a big fan of both the parents in this cross
Very nice! Great review McDabbers503
Sounds like an awesome hybrid… I've only had master kush once and it was some serious fire. I can always find some bubba up here in the big sky tho.
Dankss for the good detail, great pics and very informative job McDabbers!! ~ƸӜƷTake care and keep toking always, Tina TokerƸӜƷ~
another supposed homegrow wiith zero details on the grow…………………….come on ppl if your growing this plant you should know what kind of lights/how many watts, size pots, nutes, etc
Hey Chitown you're obviously right about this (homegrow) being made up. The plant was a file pic and would've obviously yielded closer to 6-8 oz if given that type of light in a 7 gallon pot. If the pic of the plant is a file pic..it was stolen from another site.
2x 1000watts sodiums eye hortilux enhanced spectrum
7 gallon pots with 2 parts fox farms ocean forest and 1 part fox farms light warrior
I use RO water some days with a Ph of 6.1 to 6.5
Some days I use fox farms line up with a few additives with a Ph of 6.1 to 6.5
Done being a know it all ass hole Chitown?
I also add some micro enzymes to the soil to help promote a health root system
This plant was from seed but the mother plant you see is a clone
Go be a troll else where
Or are you just jealous u can't grow meds like these
Oh my temps stay around 76f to 79f in the day and my temps get down to as low as 65f some night
My humidity was around 35% most the grow
Any other details you want????
Oh my hoods are sun system I have 2x Ochos and 8 and a 6 inch
My inline fan is a 6 inch mounted on the ceiling it blows out into my veg room using flexible duct
The room is completely light proof yad yad yad
Shall I continue? Or is this review "believe able now"
Oh and I used an auto trimmer on this plant, not sure what more I can say?
how long veg/ flower???? almost there lmao
jealous??? with 2000w i sure as fuck would be getting more trichs then that…..
and i would recomend ditching the auto trimmer buds look like shitt lol
I have had this cross just a different name. Had to have a stash of something different for the day. Nice review.
I have had this cross just a different name. Had to have a stash of something different for the day. Nice review!
Thank you for all the positive comments
Very nice.
Lol Get the fuck out Chitown your such a troll get over it, your just mad cuz u left your smart ass comment feeling all high and mighty and u were wrong cuz I acually happened to have growen this
Now try acting like a man and just be wrong
And P.S smart guy the level of tric's has nothing to do with watts
Watts would account for weight and height, level of growth and level of photosynthesis
The tric's would come from the spectrum the night cycle and the wind an the heat (as tric's are formed as a way to protect the plant from harmful things such as certain rays produced from the sun and moon and also to protect its self from wind… ect.)
Not the watts but nice try, mr know it all
I have also heard you can increase trich production with increase of potassium during the flower. Is this correct or am I being misinformed?
lol nice grow how you cure your buds everyone does it different
Well I guess someone is a little defensive about some people calling out their bs and took the time to make up a bunch of specs. All I can say is you sir do not grow! "Trichs come from spectrum of the night cycle"..haha thats just funny. No, it has to do with wattage/lumens./spectrum first and foremost then second is having a good p/k fertilizer and eliminating the nitrogen once you switch to 12/12. This crap is made up and chitown was one of the few to recognize it. Also I say fuck mastadon kush…anybody who wants a masterxbubba that is ten times better should go get the xxx cut from progressive options; it makes this look like schwag
HOLY COW BATMAN!! rather intense replies are found here. maybe its me, or that maybe i hung out with 2 many indians smokin the peacepipe tonight. its just seems to me that the focus should be on picture #2 & #4. i swear almost dead center and a smidge to the left is not plant matter. it has to be a hair from my neighbor lady's little shitzu. pic #4 has most definitely something that is NOT plant matter. almost dead center and hangin to the right. pretty sure thats the dental floss i pulled out of my teeth after a scene made in 1985 w/christy canyon. just sayin empathy and sympathy are 2 different things. chill
Howitisson how the fuck do you know if he grew this I swear your the most useless person in this site claim you know everything but you have submitted three shit reviews with one crappy pic so stop being such a troll you produce nothing good for this site ever please just leave if you have no positive things to offer

Robby Krieger's Jazz Kitchen
Presented by Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant & Music Club at Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant & Music Club
December 7, 2012
In addition to writing the songs "Light My Fire," "Love Me Two Times," "Touch Me," and "Love Her Madly," The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger has also been listed at number 91 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. His finger-style approach to electric bottleneck guitar helped establish The Doors' sound in the late '60s.
His current project is called Robby Krieger's Jazz Kitchen, playing a blend of jazz, fusion, and progressive music. "It's kind of all of the above," says Krieger. "There's some vocals, but not too many. It's really for music lovers and guitar fans, mostly. We do a couple of Doors songs, but you might not recognize them." Krieger's Jazz Kitchen, is an all-instrumental ensemble. Besides Krieger himself, it features former ex-War saxophonist Larry Kilmas and three Frank Zappa band veterans, bassist Arthur Barrow, keyboardist Tommy Mars and drummer Chad Wackerman.

I bought some sanitizer in liquid form, and poured the whole tube on my skin, only to find out later that there is a piece I could have used to spray a couple of puffs. (Embarrassing I know). So I used the whole tube at once instead of 2 puffs. 20 minutes later, I started feeling buzzed! I didn't drink alcohol at all in like the past few months. I could swear the lights looked a bit weird, and I wasn't quite as balanced. I am still wondering if it is all in my head, but I reaaally felt buzzed :S What's up with that? For the record, it was alcohol free sanitizer. All in my head?

No longer is 1080p the go-to res option. At least, that's one company's thinking and they have the product to back it up.
The hardware manufacturing business is a competitive market to say the least. PC components are upgraded almost every 6 months. Smart businesses keep afloat by not only making quality products, but heeding to the feedback from consumers to optimize quality production. One such company does just that, Monoprice's 27" IPS-Zero-G monitor is the result. A standout product well suited for tech enthusiasts.
In December of last year, the IPS-Zero-G hit the market at $390, respectively. It had all the bells and whistles you'd want from a high quality monitor priced below $400. That's not to say, it didn't come with a few shortcomings. Associate product manager, Chris Apland told me by March they went back to the drawing board: "We changed everything. Pretty much every complaint that there was, we addressed."
Model 2 of the IPS-ZERO-G, launched in June around E3. This version has a full metal casing, removable stand, extra port, brighter screen, stronger warranty (1 year), all at the same $390 price tag. Additionally, the IPSZG can be stood vertically as oppose to the standard horizontal position. The idea behind this option? Games. Most titles with a large field of view, like Planetside 2 or Hawken, requires a lot of vertical pixels, which cannot be fully visualized in the landscape perspective. Running your game in ultra high vertical illustrates this clarity. Naturally you'll need special hinges to prop the monitor into this position, thankfully Monoprice sells those too.
As far as resolution goes, 2560x1440 is the real merit for the price. While most consumers are imbedded with 1080p ads, Monoprice is setting a new standard for movie and game res and it begins with 1440. No longer is it unaffordable and the IPSZG proves this. There's also plans to move into ultra high def 4kx2k, "hopefully by the end of the year," Monoprice says.
With 1080p monitors varying in affordability, why push to the next bar of high resolution? "I think we should be expecting more from our manufacturers." says Chris Apland. "The biggest issues being, the standard price people are paying for video cards are about $200 bucks. Why spend $300 on a 1080p monitor when your card can easily handle 1440, 1600p and in some cases, playback 4kx2k just fine." It's a backwards investment that's becoming less attractive, especially with Monoprice's philosophy and product line to boot.
With monitors, seeing is believing and the IPS-Zero-G offers beautiful clarity to games and movies I watch on screen now. You'll need a decent video card to match the resolution, but it's well worth the investment. Other notable highlights include an adjustable angle for viewing preference, 16:9 aspect ratio and accessible buttons on the right backside of the panel.
Bottomline: Monoprice has delivered an excellent grade product for a more than reasonable price. Video games and movies look spectacular on its sleek, flat panel design. The warranty speaks for itself, and again, the price is virtually unbeatable. Step aside 1080p, there's a new resolution in town.

TopBet sportsbook is relatively new on the scene, but I had been hearing a lot about it and decided to give it a try. While it doesn't yet have all the side-products that other major sportsbooks offer, TopBet is a solid option for those who just want to bet on sports.
I'm told there were some hiccups with credit card processing at first, but by the time I joined they had that all sorted out and then some. I was able to use my Visa and get playing in minutes. Signing up was in general a positive experience, and the agent I talked to on the phone was friendly and helpful. As they expand, their customer service is getting better and I've had no major problems there.
What's caught a lot of attention is their bonus – 50% bonus on top of your initial deposit is a very enticing. Do note, however, that they require a 10x rollover, meaning that you'll have to bet the equivalent of your deposit ten times in order to be able to cash out with your bonus. This is fine if you're joining at the start of the season and strapping yourself in for the long haul, but not if you're an occasional bettor or just trying to make a couple of bets on the playoffs.
The betting experience at Top Bet is solid. Odds were mostly limited to sports and events popular in America, but they have recently started including international favorites like cricket and rugby. Their lines are often up early, which I have occasionally been able to capitalize on, and even "middle" on a few bets thanks to their football odds fluctuating between the time they're released and kickoff.
One disappointing omission is the lack of a Racebook. I'm not a big horse junkie, but it would be nice to be able to bet on the odd race – especially when you're trying to work off that rollover requirement.
Top Bet offers online casino games but not a proper poker room. If you're interested in poker, you'll have to get an account somewhere else. As a sports bettor primarily, I'm glad Top Bet has taken the initial approach of focusing on their sportsbook rather than spreading themselves too thin.
I didn't join TopBet until recently, but I had heard early on they were a bit slow at getting players paid on time. They have smoothed this over and I haven't had any problems getting paid since I joined, with their speed improving each time.
All in all, TopBet is a reliable sportsbook. It's missing a few extra features for now, but you can expect to see them added in over time. If the bonus offer is appealing to you and you just want to bet on sports, give Top Bet a try.

The Fox Theatre in Detroit is an absolute stellar venue and last night it welcomed an absolutely stellar performer, Leonard Cohen.
Cohen, at age 78(!), slinked and scatted and knelt and skipped his way through a 3 1/2 Hour concert filled with crowd pleasing musical tales of life. Sometimes dark tales sure, but inspiring and thought provoking none the less.
I was intrigued by Cohen's comeback story a few years ago when he returned to the road after an extended absence, but didn't pull the trigger on buying a ticket. This time around I didn't miss it and I feel honored and privileged to say I've seen this great performer live in concert.
Cohen hopes to be on the road until he turns 80, as he told the adoring crowd last evening. "Then, I can start smoking again." You just get the feeling that this guy has seen it all, and done it all, and I'm in awe of his ability to captivate an audience.
With a wonderful backing band including three fabulous women singers, Cohen powered his way through song after song, some of which I was hearing for the first time. The Fabulous Fox's acoustics did not disappoint, and every word and every note resonated perfectly all night.
Considering that almost everyone in the music business has covered a Leonard Cohen song at one point or another, some of his songs were more familiar to me than others. 'Everybody Knows' (Concrete Blonde), 'Bird On A Wire' (Johnny Cash), 'First We Take Manhattan' (REM), and 'Hallelujah' (Jeff Buckley) were all fabulous. Other highlights for me were 'Tower of Song' which came late in the set and 'The Future' which came early.
"I've seen the future, brother. It is murder." WHOA!
Pleas add 'The Darkness' to my list of new favorite songs:
"I caught the darkness drinking from your cup. I said, "Is this contagious?"
You said, "Just drink it up.""
Seriously intense lyrics matched by a seriously intense delivery from a master showman.
Pure genius.
Thanks to The Wifey for coming with me on this musical journey. I rarely see an audience wear out before the performer, and last night's marathon almost wiped some out before the finish line. But as the weary masses filled out into the cold Detroit night just before midnight, I saw nothing but smiles.
Let me tell you something...
Leonard Cohen is no "lazy bastard living in a suit."
Leonard Cohen is The Energizer Bunny.
If you have time, please watch Concrete Blonde and then watch the master...

Indians pitcher Zach McAllister has filled the shoes of injured starter Josh Tomlin wonderfully. So wonderfully in fact, the Tribe did not miss a beat with Tomlin down via wrist injury.
However, after Tomlin's 50-pitch simulated game went well Thursday, McAllister's stay at the big league level – at least for the moment – has come to an end.
The Indians optioned McAllister to class-AAA Columbus. Cleveland announced Tomlin will be activated from the disabled list Monday and will start against the Kansas City Royals at Progressive Field.
In the meantime, the club recalled 23-year old class-AA infielder Juan Diaz from Akron.
The move allows Acta to add an extra position player for their series in Chicago, while not losing anyone off the bench or bullpen. With Diaz already on the 40-man roster – and his stay with the big club very temporary – he will provide depth with third baseman Jack Hannahan (back) on the mend.
Diaz - acquired in 2010 with Ezequiel Carrera from Seattle in exchange for Russell Branyan - will wear number 29 and will be making his major league debut. The switch-hitter is batting .232 with the Aeros this season but .330 against right-handers.
McAllister went 1-1 with the Indians. He had an ERA of 3.96 in 25 innings of work. The 24-year old right-hander struck out 22 and walked six.
More than anything, he carried himself with more confidence than when he appeared in 2011.
His stint in the majors did not go unnoticed. Acta spoke highly of McAllister this season and was very impressed with the strides he made from last year. His fill-in was not an ideal situation but he responded nicely.
Much like the role righty Jeanmar Gomez filled last season, expect McAllister to return when needed – or possibly being used as trade bait at the July 31st trade deadline. Certainly, the Indians were not the only team to notice his progression.
And who says you can ever have enough pitching?
Tomlin returns from the DL Monday with a record of 1-2 and an ERA of 4.67.
