Jamba, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results Company Comparable Store Sales up 3.6% Against Double-Digit Year-Ago Gains Operating Margin and CPG Revenue Improve Growth Continues with New International and Domestic Franchise Partners Business Wire EMERYVILLE, Calif. -- April 30, 2013 Jamba, Inc. (NASDAQ:JMBA) today reported unaudited financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2013. The Company recorded a quarterly comparable store sales^(1) increase of 3.6% for company-owned stores, driven by increases in store traffic and average check. Jamba also reported solid increases in operating margin and royalty revenue from its expanding consumer product platforms. During the quarter, the Company entered into a master franchise development agreement with Casa Operadora de Franquicias MAV S.A.P.I de C.V ("MAV") to develop 80 Jamba Juice stores in Mexico over the next 10 years. The first Jamba Juice store in Mexico is expected to open in late 2013. The Company also entered into a new domestic franchise partnership that will open 15 stores in Missouri and Kansas over the next nine years. Jamba's 125 California store expansion initiative has been fully subscribed and is sold out. Highlights for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2013, compared to the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2012: *Company-owned comparable store sales^(1) increased 3.6% for the quarter as ^ compared to the prior year period in which comparable store sales increased 12.7%. *System-wide comparable store sales^(1) increased 1.3% for the quarter against an 11.6% increase for the prior year period and franchise-operated comparable store sales^(1) decreased 0.9% for the quarter compared to the prior year quarterly increase of 10.5%. *Net loss was $(1.2) million, or $(0.02) diluted loss per share for the quarter, compared to net loss of $(1.5) million or $(0.03) diluted loss per share for the prior year period. *Total revenue for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2013 rose to $55.1 million compared to total revenue of $53.0 million for the prior year period. *Jamba's loss from operations decreased $0.3 million to $(1.3) million for 13 weeks ended April 2, 2013, reflecting Company-owned store comparable sales growth, increased franchise revenue and expanding CPG sales. Operating margin improved by 70 basis points to (2.4)% for 13 week period ended April 2, 2013 compared to the prior year period. *General and administrative expenses for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2013 were $9.2 million compared with $8.6 million for the prior year period. *During the quarter, franchisees opened 14 new stores globally; eight new franchise stores in the U.S. and six new international stores. *During the quarter, Jamba entered into a master franchise agreement to expand its international operations into a new market, developing 80 new Jamba Juice stores in Mexico over the next 10 years. "Our solid first quarter results, which came in the face of very strong year-ago performance, demonstrate Jamba's ongoing momentum with increased traffic, average check and operating margin improvement," said James D. White, Chairman, President and CEO of Jamba, Inc. "Our franchise development is strong with the addition of Mexico as our fourth major international market, and the execution of a multi-store domestic development agreementthat will substantially increase our presence in the Midwest. Our accelerated California growth initiative is now completely sold out. And our plans for re-imaging stores and adding new concepts are on track for the balance of the year." "During the quarter we added new on-trend menu items, including new smoothie flavors for our Fruit & Veggie and JambaGO lines, our first nutritionist approved Jamba Kids Meals™ and continuing introductions from our Fresh Squeezed Juice platform containing fresh vegetables and fruits," Mr. White said. First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results Revenue For the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2013, total revenue increased 3.8% to $55.1 million from $53.0 million in the prior year period. The increase is due to the 3.6% increase in Company-owned comparable store sales^(1) and increased franchise revenue and CPG sales. The increase in Company-owned comparable store sales^(1) of 3.6% was driven primarily by an increase in transaction count of 130 basis points and an average check increase of 230 basis points. During the 13 week period ended April 2, 2013, franchise-operated comparable store sales^(1) decreased 0.9%. Franchise and other revenue increased 29.6% to $3.9 million from $3.0 million in the prior year period. Jamba's CPG revenue was $1.0 million in the 13 week period ended April 2, 2013, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period. Loss from Operations and Operating Margin Jamba's operating margin improved by 70 basis points to (2.4)% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to (3.1)% for the quarter ended April 3, 2012. On a dollar basis, the $(1.3) million loss from operations for the first quarter of 2013 was a $0.3 million improvement from the $(1.6) million loss from operations in the first quarter of 2012 reflecting the increased franchise revenue and CPG sales, and improved leveraging of fixed costs resulting from the Company-operated store comparable sales growth. Retail Growth On February 28, 2013, the Company entered into a master franchise development agreement with MAV to develop 80 Jamba Juice stores in Mexico over the next 10 years. The first Jamba Juice store in Mexico is expected to open in late 2013. The principals of MAV, Mario Conzuelo Betancourt and Manuel Saba Ades, are seasoned executives operating food and beverage, and health and wellness retail businesses across Mexico and Latin America. Mario Conzuelo serves as CEO of the newly formed venture, and has previously launched and successfully developed a major international franchise beverage brand in Mexico.

Words such as "outlook", "believes", "expects", "appears", "may", "will", "should", "anticipates", or the negative thereof or comparable terminology, are intended to identify such forward looking statements. Any statement that is not a historical fact, including the statements made under the caption "Outlook for 2013" and any other estimates, projections, future trends and the outcome of events that have not yet occurred, is a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to factors discussed under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's reports filed with the SEC. Many of such factors relate to events and circumstances that are beyond the Company's control. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not assume any obligation to update the information contained in this press release. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company provides certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to its investors as a complement to the most comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP measures to its investors, in addition to corresponding GAAP income statement measures, provides investors the benefit of viewing the Company's performance using the same financial metrics that the management team uses in making many key decisions and understanding how the Company's core business operations may perform and may look in the future. The non-GAAP financial measures are discussed further in Footnotes below. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Footnotes (1) Comparable store sales are calculated using sales of Jamba Juice stores open more than one full fiscal year. Company-owned comparable store sales percentages are based on sales from company-owned stores included in our store base. Franchise-operated comparable store sales percentages are based on sales from franchised stores, as reported by franchisees, which are included in our store base. System-wide sales percentages are based on sales by both company-owned and franchise-operated stores, as reported by our franchisees, which are included in our store base. Company-owned stores that were sold in refranchising transactions are included in the Company-owned store base for each accounting period of the fiscal quarter to the extent the sale is consummated at least three days prior to the end of such accounting period, but only for the days such stores have been company-owned. Thereafter, such stores are excluded from the store base until such stores have been franchise-operated for at least one full fiscal period, at which point such stores are included in the franchise-operated store base and compared to sales in the comparable period of the prior year. Comparable store sales exclude closed locations. Company-owned comparable store sales percentages as used herein, may not be equivalent to company-owned comparable store sales as defined or used by other companies. Franchise-operated comparable store sales percentages and system-wide sales percentages as used herein are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Management reviews the increase or decrease in company-owned comparable store sales, franchise-operated comparable store sales and system-wide sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends and make certain business decisions. The Company believes the data is useful in assessing the overall performance of the Jamba brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company, the company-owned stores, and franchise-operated stores.

Like many of the others I am 39 weeks and have had the "false labor" contractions. I have been 3 cm dilated with what is predicted to be a 10 pound baby! This is my 3rd so I know how frustrating it can be.I have learned that they only come when they are ready! Be patient-its such an exciting time in life, you don't want it to end by being miserable! Preparing myself for my 3rd induction! :)posted 04/27/2011 by kris88teegs

I am 38 1/2 weeks with baby #3. Ive been having contractions- HARD ONES -for about 2 weeks on and off. My 1st 2 came @ 37 weeks. The only up side , when I do have a very bad night usually there is some progress with my next visit. (a little dilation, or effacement) I havent slept in that long either. I guess just wait and you'll get to see your bundle of joy soon. Dont use caster oil!!! If it is not time it will just give you the runs..all night! Spicey food/ pineapples has done the same + heartburn &all walking has done for me is cause painful leg spasms at night. My doc said there is a chemical in semen that will help start labor, but the guy would have to ejaculate 6 times in a row to be effective. You space it out and it does nothing. I cant wait for the baby- then I will get more rest!!! =)posted 02/28/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

I know it gets exciting to meet your little ones but be patient and when it is time, they will come. They are safe and comfy in that womb and they will come out! Have peace that no matter what gestation you are, I am 39weeks with my third, that within days you WILL have the baby. Sometimes waiting for them to come on thier own is the best for everyone. We can't control everything, labor, delivery and pregnancy teach us really vital parenting tools right from the start.posted 12/31/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

''NZ Blokes'' looks set for a hat trick after winning at Taupo and Gisborne.
Round Three of the Rayglass New Zealand Offshore Powerboats takes place on Saturday 12th February off the coast of Maraetai on South Auckland's East Coast. Wind and tide have a huge impact on this area known as the Tamaki Strait as it is a relatively narrow stretch of water, running between the mainland and several islands of the Hauraki Gulf, and often acts as a funnel as the tide pours in toward Auckland.
After two races in the 2011 series, some teams are starting to look like they have a strong chance of dominating the racing in their class. Several of their competitors ran into difficulty with their equipment at Gisborne and with only one week between the races, they may struggle to get back in top shape for this weeks event.
In the Superboats, 'Fairview' driven by Warren Lewis and Chris Hanley leads with two straight wins, and the team will be looking to get their hat trick with a win at Maraetai. 'Schick Hydro' with Scott Lewis and Murray Tuffin in the cockpit looked extremely impressive at Gisborne and seemed intent on leading the field until they lost one of their drives and were unable to remain competitive. They, and the team of Cary Gleeson and Sam Fillmore from 'Doosan', who have had to deal with ballast issues, will be determined to prevent 'Fairview 'from dominating the season any further. 'Profloors' driven by Wayne Valder and Richard Shores will be looking to improve on their third place at Gisborne and are currently even with Schick Hydro on the points table.
'NZ Blokes' driven by Bob Smith and Andrew 'Flea' Koolen will also be looking for their hat trick after winning at both Taupo and Gisborne. This boat dominated the Superboat Lite class in 2010 and looks set on a repeat performance. 'Red Steel' looked competitive but has run into problems which have affected the boats performance. They along with 'Barracuda Kayaks' have a lot of work to do to reel in the leading boat.
The Honda Class provided an exciting battle at Gisborne with three of the boats racing within easy reach of eachother, and at times seemed only inches apart. Mike Urquhart in 'Auckland District Collections' has two wins under his belt, but will face some serious competition this week from James Taylor in 'Total Oil' and Colin Dunn in 'CRD Automotive' who were so close to getting the top spot at the Gisborne race.
Auckland District Collections, Total Oil and CRD Automotive had a close fought battle at Gisborne
A similar battle continues in the Sports Restricted with 'Auckland District Collections 1' and 'Marineworkz' racing for the title. Mikey Knight of 'Auckland District Collections 1' continues to lead the class with two wins. Racing over the last two events has however been close and Jono Hanley of 'Marineworkz' will be keen to get his share of the wins over the season.
In the Super 60 Colin and Glenn Powell of 'Back2Bay6' have exploded into the class with two fast and convincing wins after their move from Hondas last season. The 2010 champions in 'Espresso Engineers' have been hard pressed to get the boat speed they need to close the gap, and will no doubt have been working hard to further refine their setup and regain control of the class.
We hope to see the return of 'Topaz' in the classic class after their dramatic smoke display at Taupo when problems with their turbo prevented them from finishing. 'Konica Minolta' will be looking to cruise to their third victory, while Haaka Le Seur and Gavin McGrath in 'Gull Force 10' may have to wait to show what their Scarab can do in really heavy sea conditions.
Forecasts for the area indicate a fairly brisk nor easterly breeze of 16 knots with gusts up to 25. This combined with an incoming tide could see a short but choppy sea state with a north east swell of .3 metres and 3 second wave interval predicted. This could make the run from C to D interesting as the boats will be running against both wind and tide which should provide plenty of lift and spray.
A map of the race course
The race can be viewed best from the foreshore at Maraetai Beach. The race usually takes one hour and starts at 1.00pm.
The NZOPA would like to thank the Maraetai Beach Boating Club, Maraetai Coastguard, Pine Harbour Marina, Energizer, AB Marine, Marine Paramedical Services and MarineWorkz for their support in making the Maraetai Race possible.
They also acknowledge the ongoing support of the series sponsors Rayglass.

The first two have been out for quite a while. I've always seen them around but was never that into it and feel like buying until I read about them from Guerlain's website. They sound more than amazing! If that's really the way they work, they'd be the best powder ever.
What Guerlain say is that all three of them give this lovely glow + a long-lasting matte look. I'm really not sure about this because sheer powders DON'T usually provide a flawless MATTE look for LONG if they've already added the glow on the skin (at least my experiences).
And the 3rd one, Radiant Compact Powder Finish, is it a pressed powder or a powder foundation?

Hi Miss Purple!
I have this one, it´s a pressed powder and I it very much, use it almost daily.
fashion insider
does it really give a long-lasting matte look? and does it make the face look heavy and builded up at all?
if I only use it over moisturizer instead of a liquid foundation, do you think it will stay on well enough? and how's the coverage?
sorry I have a lot of questions
& b
I had the compact, it was nothing different, actually, I didnt liked it, because I think it works great on pale skins, and Im usually after the glowy bronze look...Terracota is my fave product from Guerlain.. and Petit Guerlain for sleeping

I thought it would be like a miracle or something
I still wanna try it tho, because I do have pale skin.
but $150 for a compact is kinda expensive...
and I've already wasted too much money on a ton of compacts
fashion insider
when i was in high school (11 years ago eeekk) everyone wore way too much Terracota on their face.... i remember BEGGING my mom for some!!!! and then after spring break everyone would overdo more to compete in the who is the most tan contest?
i digress, i use Terracota now (appropriately) and love it!

My mother has used both the Guerlain Meteorites Powder sheres and Meteorites refillable compact for years (I think she still uses them). Ive never tried the loose powder, but I used to sneak out her compact so much that she gave me one a long time ago. Its true that the pressed powder is so fine that it never gets cakey or too done. Some time ago, I stopped using face powder all together, so I forgot all about it. I think I still have the old compact in my makeup drawer someplace (Ive long lost the brush). I remember that it had a nice, mild floral scent to it too.

Narrower Targets Set For Health Overhaul
WASHINGTON—The White House, with its health-care initiative in doubt, on Sunday zeroed in on several elements it hoped would survive, including measures to extend the life of Medicare, lower prescription drug costs for seniors and cap consumers' out-of-pocket medical expenses.
As Democrats regroup on plans to overhaul the health-care system after a Republican win in last week's Massachusetts Senate election, comments Sunday indicated that any revamped legislation would likely focus on the least-controversial elements of earlier proposals.
White House officials notably didn't emphasize that any revised legislation should include a major expansion of health insurance. Expanding coverage to the uninsured was the key plank of the separate health bills passed by the House and Senate last year, but such efforts largely accounted for the about $1 trillion cost of the bills, and Republicans decried them as too costly.
President Barack Obama spoke with congressional leaders over the weekend to determine how to move forward on the issue. Now that the Democrats no longer have a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority in the Senate, they are likely to need Republican support to pass any new legislation, something they weren't able to win last year. Officials stressed that discussions were still going on, and Democrats are also looking at ways to salvage the current legislation.
White House adviser David Axelrod, appearing on ABC News's "This Week," said the president didn't want to abandon several elements of the current bills. These include extending the life of the Medicare program for the elderly, which the bills propose to do through payment cuts to health providers, and issuing tax breaks to help small employers provide insurance. Medicare will become insolvent by 2017 without more funding or payment cuts.
Mr. Axelrod also cited assistance to help seniors pay for prescription drugs. The bills would help close a gap in Medicare Part D insurance that forces some seniors to pay thousands of dollars a year for medicine. He also said the overhaul should help people with pre-existing health conditions buy insurance and cap out-of-pocket medical costs. He didn't discuss how these measures would be paid for.
A White House aide said Sunday those were just some of the provisions, among others, that the administration hoped to include in a final package.
Republicans agree that Medicare needs to become more sustainable, but argue that the Democrats' proposed payment cuts are the wrong way to do it. Some Democrats also fear they are too deep.
While Republicans have also emphasized helping small businesses and lowering consumers' out-of-pocket costs, their approaches have been different.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said Sunday that Republicans wanted to start over and craft a plan that did more to lower the growth of health costs.
Mr. McConnell, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," said the plan should change the tax code to allow individuals who buy policies without the help of an employer to get the same tax break that companies get. He said the overhaul should also reduce the number of medical malpractice lawsuits and allow insurers to sell policies across state lines.
The Democrats' bills contain no substantive changes to the malpractice system and they don't make insurance tax-free for individuals, as is the case for companies.
Malpractice is one area where Democrats could show more flexibility in any revamped legislation. Reducing unnecessary lawsuits is an area that resonates with voters, regardless of party affiliation, and Democratic leaders have already added some malpractice provisions into the current bills, though they remain largely symbolic.
Mr. Obama signaled after the Massachusetts election that he might be willing to sign a scaled-down version of the House and Senate measures. In addition to the provisions Mr. Axelrod outlined, revamped legislation could include new restrictions on insurance companies.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Tyler Brown netted a game-high 25 points, including the game-winning free-throws in the final seconds, and Illinois State toppled No. 15 Wichita State, 65-64, in a Missouri Valley Conference Tournament semifinal.
Jackie Carmichael contributed a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds and Nic Moore added 12 points for the Redbirds (20-12), who will play No. 25 Creighton in Sunday's championship game.
"For some reason, we played them well even when we didn't play well," said Illinois State head coach Tim Jankovich. "We all thought we would have a chance, but we also knew realistically we would have to play tremendous. I never, ever thought we could shoot 33 percent and beat this team."
Joe Ragland paced the Shockers (27-5) with 17 points. Ben Smith had 14 points to go with 13 rebounds for Wichita State, which saw a nine-game winning streak ended.
"[We] can't let it carry over [to the NCAA Tournament]," said Ragland. "We want to be successful because we have more games, but we can't let this affect us in our next game or practice or anything else. We're just got to move forward."
Down 64-63, Brown missed a jumper, but came down with his own rebound before being fouled under the basket with 6.4 seconds to play.
The Shockers had two chances to take the lead after Brown's free-throws fell threw, but Toure' Murry and Garrett Stutz failed to convert their attempts from the floor.
Witchita State led by 13 early in the second half, but Illinois State's Bryant Allen knocked down a shot to open a 14-4 spurt to get ISU back into the game at 45-42.
The Shockers scored the next four, but failed to capitalize on that momentum as the Redbirds began draining three-pointers. Jon Ekey, Carmichael, Brown and Moore each hit treys in a five-minute span for their first lead of the seocnd half, 56-55.
Ragland hit a shot from beyond the arc on Witchita State's next possession to take back the lead, and they would hold a slim advantage until Carmichael's layup tied it at 63 with 4:35 remaining.
Murray netted one of two from the charity stripe to give the Shockers a 64-63 lead with 2:51 to play, but they missed their final nine attempts from the field in the loss.
Witchita State held a 36-28 edge at halftime.
Illinois State defeated a ranked opponent for the first time since December 29, 1987...The Redbirds shot 90.9 percent (20-of-22) from the free-throw line...Illinois State's John Wilkins finished with eight points and eight rebounds...Witchita State held a 40-34 rebounding advantage.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Grow Bigger Marijuana Buds With The Right Nutrients
Category: Culture | Posted on Thu, January, 23rd 2014 by THCFinder
Whether you're growing marijuana for personal use or you're looking to make a little extra money on the side, you always want to have the biggest buds. The buds are where you get the most "meat" on the marijuana plant, and you'll certainly be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor for much longer with bigger buds. But, achieving big buds isn't always a matter of plant genetics or complete luck. You have to put in a lot of effort, and you have to understand exactly what the plant needs at each stage of its life.
For starters, you have to understand the basics of nutrient uptake within the plant. Nutrients act like food for the plant to thrive and grow tall. Of course, nutrients are also largely responsible for the size of the buds by the time the harvest comes around. Nutrients aren't the only variable, but they're wildly important. The main triplet of nutrients that you'll often come across in most fertilizers consists of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). On most fertilizers, there is a little "NPK" value that indicates how much of each nutrient is in the fertilizer.
For the most part, you'll want a fertilizer with a higher concentration of nitrogen during vegetative state. Nitrogen is primarily responsible for the overall growth and healthy function of the plant. It helps the plant thrive during vegetative state and it also sets the stage for success once your plants enter the flowering stage. When a plant reaches flowering stage, they require a different kind of fertilizer concentration—one that is higher in phosphorus and potassium than nitrogen. At that point, it's a good idea to switch to a "bloom fertilizer" to help out with bud growth. Click here to get a free nutrients guide for marijuana plants.
The Benefits of high quality nutrients
This is really the traditional way to grow larger buds, and it has worked to a certain degree for years. But, there are a lot more than just three nutrients at play in fertilizers and inside the living marijuana plant. It can be hard to hit the right balance of nutrients during vegetative state and flowering state. If you could find a fertilizer product that would take the nutrient guesswork out of your hands, then you'd probably jump at that opportunity. One such product is Marijuana Booster, a revolutionary growth program that can guarantee you a good return on your investment. If you want bigger buds from your harvest, then Marijuana Booster can certainly help out.

New York Wants Medical Marijuana
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Thu, January, 23rd 2014 by THCFinder
As a better known east coast state, New York is working hard to get themselves on the cannabis train before it leaves them coughing and stranded in the Dark Ages. The state is working feverishly to get medical marijuana in to hospitals, allowing patients who really need it to get access to the only medicine that may be able to save them and help them to recover. Andrew Cuomo's medical cannabis plan allows up to 20 hospitals to use medical marijuana to treat illnesses and health problems.
In a poll done of New York residents, 49% thought that Cuomo should pass legal medical marijuana for the whole state, skipping this step all together. Only 28% said that this step was the way to go. Both parties are right, as the pilot step will allow patients who really need cannabis to get their hands on it. A full medical legalization would guarantee that all patients could get their medicine, not just the ones that have access to the specific hospitals that would get the cannabis under the pilot step. All patients that need cannabis should have access to it, but if this is the first step that needs to be taken, so be it.
Allowing medical marijuana in New York would at least add one more state on to the constantly growing list. We all know that the plant shouldn't be illegal anyway, considering that it is nature. But even with the pilot step, people who can benefit from cannabis will at least be able to get their medicine. The state may not be ready to fully legalize, considering that when polled, 54% were opposed to putting forth a model similar to Colorado. Even though they're opposed, that number is considerably small and it's beginning to look like New York could be the next medical state.

Cannabis Infused Olive Oil
Category: Recipes | Posted on Wed, January, 22nd 2014 by THCFinder
Most stoners prefer to make cannabis butter because it's quite versatile and it's easier to make edibles with as compared to always just throwing weed in the pot. However, it seems like most people don't really know that you can make olive oil infused with cannabis as well. The olive oil is far healthier than butter, not to mention it won't go back on you and it's far easier to transport, making it much better then most people know. This recipe will teach you how to make your own cannabis infused olive oil, which can be used in pretty much every single recipe out there!
What You'll Need;
3.5 cups virgin olive oil
1 ounce marijuana, finely ground
Start by putting the oil in a sauce pan and turn up to medium. Do not let the oil reach the boiling point but once it has heated up, you can add in the marijuana powder. Use a coffee grinder to get the best powdery marijuana. Usually you can fit about 7 grams in these little grinders at a time and they do a very good job of giving you a fine powder. Let the oil simmer, never letting it boil and constantly stirring. If you see bubbles begin to form in the oil, turn down the heat and remove the mixture from the burner until it cools off a bit. By boiling the mixture, too much THC would be released and you wouldn't get the desired effect from your oil. Continue this for about an hour, possibly two if you have the time. Strain your oil through cheesecloth in to a container that you can cap. Be careful to let the oil cool off a bit, as it'll be extremely hot right off the stove. Also make sure to squeeze the cheesecloth to make sure that you get all of the oil out of it. You now have your marijuana infused cannabis oil!
Who's ready for the first real Superbowl ; )

I'm having some trouble picking an MOS. Can someone here recommend something that you think would be cool or what I should avoid? I was thinking maybe a light wheel mechanic? I think my main concern is that I want to be promoted in a decent amount of time. So what is a MOS where I can get promoted faster?

Thank you for the replies. My recruiter gave me this list and said these are the jobs that I qualify for.
I was thinking about maybe being a light wheel mechanic but I guess I didnt qualify for it because of my ASVAB score.
I dont know anything about these jobs can someone maybe recommend something here?

If you ever plan on going SF do 18X because they pretty much breed you into one.
Like BigDaddyPerkins said, 13F has fast promotions and lots of schools
I have heard good and bad things about 35M, I was talking to a Civ guy that worked with them and from what he told me it seemed like a pretty fun job.
I actually entered as an 18X but got reclassed to 88N because of medical reasons. With a score of 70 on the ASVAB I would think there would be more open to you.
I actually like the 88N (Transportaton Coordinator) job because it gives me extra time to train because you'll pretty much be a FOBbit when you get deployed. The only thing is that you will need to qualify for a secret clearance and have a GT score of 110 or higher.

13F isn't a bad way to go (of course I may not be impartial).
Help me out -- as infantry didn't you used to come in as 11B, 11M, 11C etc ........... what's 11X?

not 100% sure but I believe it is enlisting as an 11B and going to Airbourne school right after OSUT.
Pretty much enlisting Airbourne Infantry

11X is a goood path, (if really want something high speed see if you can get the Ranger Option in your contract so that you can try out for RIP after OSUT and ABN.
35M offers opportunities post-army with NSA, etc, (as does 35W but 35M is more hands on.) The higher you score on the DLAT, the more "high speed" a language you can learn.
Stay away from 92F you'll get so bored you'll want to take a hostage.

11X is just a basic infantry MOS. I went in as an 11X in 1993. Once I got downrange at Benning, they grouped all of us 11x guys together in one platoom within the company. Out of about 53 11x recruits, 40 of use were reclassified to 11C (HOOAH!), the rest were split up into 11B and 11M. I think one guy actually went the 11H route.
Not sure if there is any truth to this or not, but one of the DIs (an 11B) said that they put the guys with the highest scores into the 11H path followed by 11M, 11C, & 11B. It seems like this would have made some of the 11Bs feel bad as they had the lowest scores (if that was the truth). However, nobody ever gave a crap as we were all ready to go to our untit and blow shit up.
Not all of our 11X guys went to jump school. Six or seven of us went out of 53. IIRC, all of us were 11C except for one 11B who was set up to join a National Guard LRS/SF unit in Pennsylvania.
As far as the RIP option, it may have changed, but when I was in that was only open after you had successfully completed jump school. I thought about it, but decided against it as I had seen enough of Benning to wanna stay there any longer. My friend went through RIP as an 11C and his duty stationed was immediately changed after he completed RIP. He was scheduled to go to 6th ID (Alaska) with us, but got reassigned to 2nd Bat at Ft. Lewis.
If you get through RIP, you're pretty much gonna be going to either Georgia or Washington state. 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Ranger batallions...that's an easy way to narrow down your duty station options. =)
To my knowledge, the 18x pathway is a post 911 MOS made open to fresh enlistees. It used to be a bitch to get into that. You had to work your way in through a regular unit and pay your dues so to speak.
To be honest with you, you might wanna consider a job that could get you into a career outside of the military. I went in with full intentions of pulling a 20 year bid as I had nothing left to come home to except farmwork or factory work. I got injured on a jump and thanks to military cutbacks (sarcastic thumbs up!) I was told that the Army was not willing to pay the money to re-train me in a different MOS. Therefore I was seperated on a medical discharge.
Think about your future, bro. All that HOOAH, blow 'em up stuff can come later if you stay in. Get into an MOS that can transfer over into a decent civilian job.
Just my 2 cents.

What is Phi Kappa Phi?
Founded in 1897, The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest, largest, and most selective all-discipline honor society whose chief purpose is to reward and recognize scholarly achievement in all majors and disciplines in the university. Because Phi Kappa Phi's standards for election are highly selective, membership is a stamp of excellence that is recognized by graduate and professional school admissions committees and employers alike. Phi Kappa Phi is much more than a line on a résumé; it is a 100+-year-old honor society comprised of the best and brightest from all academic disciplines.
How are members elected to the WSU chapter?
Membership is by invitation only. Each fall the WSU Chapter invites to Phi Kappa Phi membership the top 7.5% of juniors and the top 10% of seniors and graduate students, based on cumulative GPA and class ranking. Invitations are sent in August. For more details, please contact a chapter officer.
How much are the membership dues?
New initiate membership dues for the WSU Chapter are $70.00 for the first year. This amount covers initiation fees and first year dues to the Society, as well as local chapter fees for the induction ceremony. Thereafter, annual membership dues are $35 per year, plus $5 in optional chapter dues. Visit the Society's Membership Renewal web page for additional membership options.
What are benefits of membership?
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi offers numerous benefits that can assist members throughout their academic and professional lives. The Society's global focus on resources allows Phi Kappa Phi members to connect and network with one another from every corner of the world. Benefits of membership may include:
- Recognition for academic achievement by the nation's oldest, largest, and most selective all-discipline honor society.
- Career assistance to post résumés, search newly listed position openings, and manage job applications.
- Opportunities to apply for awards and scholarships valued at more than $700,000 per year.
- Partner discounts on certain products and services.
- Society publications such as the Phi Kappa Phi Forum.
- Networking, training, and leadership opportunities.
Visit the Society's website to learn more about the benefits of membership.
How do I get my member number?
Your member number is assigned at the Society's Headquarters. Following the fall induction ceremony, your membership information is forwarded to Headquarters and entered into their database. A membership card will be sent to the address you provided during the Online Enrollment process. To inquire about your membership status, call the Society Headquarters at 1-800-804-9880 ext.11 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
What will being a member mean to me after graduation?
Phi Kappa Phi recognizes excellence. Membership in the Society carries with it the respect of your academic faculty and advisors, family, friends, peers, and employers. You may find membership in the Society increases opportunities for future employment and offers an advantage because others know that Phi Kappa Phi members represent the very best and brightest higher education has to offer.
When does the WSU chapter hold its initiation?
The WSU Chapter holds its initiation ceremony each fall, usually a late afternoon or evening in November. Approximately 200 people attend, including faculty, staff, and guests of the new members. The format is similar to a graduation ceremony and includes a reception. The initiates are seated together, and each initiate's name is called to receive a membership packet, which includes the Society emblem and a certificate. Business or business casual dress is appropriate; caps and gowns are not worn. The event lasts approximately one hour.
Is attendance required at initiation?
Attendance is not required but strongly encouraged. You have earned this special recognition!
Where can I purchase a stole or other Phi Kappa Phi memorabilia?
All Phi Kappa Phi merchandise is available through the Society's website. A member number and password are required. Call 1-800-804-9880 x10 for assistance.
How do I claim my membership packet if I missed the initiation ceremony?
If you cannot attend the ceremony, your membership packet may be picked up in the University Honors Program office in 243 Millett Hall. Packets are not routinely mailed but will be mailed upon request by inductees who do not reside locally. Packets are held for approximately one year from the initiation date and then discarded.
How can I transfer my membership from another institution to WSU?
If you were inducted into Phi Kappa Phi at another institution, you can transfer your membership affiliation to the WSU chapter by completing a Reactivation/Transfer of Membership Form. The form allows you to renew your dues if needed and provides a contact at the Society's main office to start the membership transfer process.

What will happen ?
IMO,before the ink dries on the paper,the new management will probably vote themselves all kinds of juicy options.
I agree the dividend is sustainable for 6 months, perhaps longer. After all, if the merger goes through won't they have $80 million from the sale of Elbow to piddle away ? Should cover the dividend for awhile.

Jeffrey Harding, the Founder and President of Recycle San Diego, states "Because of ever-increasing technological advancement, many electronic products become obsolete within a very short period of time, creating a large surplus of unwanted electronic waste, or "e-Waste."
To avoid these environmental risks Harding suggests that people join their local community of environmentally-
Items that can be recycled include: computers, monitors, TVs, laptops, cables, printers, fax machines, scanners, DVD players, VCRs, and other electronic items.
Recycle San Diego wishes to remind the public that it is illegal to dispose of e-Waste in the trash and California requires that companies recycle their e-Waste. California currently has the most comprehensive landfill ban in the nation, curbing both the illegal disposal and export of the largest category of toxic electronics which includes CRT TVs and computer monitors.
Founded in 2006, Recycle San Diego is the #1 community resource for San Diego County, providing the most universal and innovative waste collection systems in the industry. Recycle San Diego believes in safe, environmentally friendly ways to reuse, recycle and repurpose eWaste of all types. "We recycle anything that plugs in or runs on batteries!"
