Imposing 'High Costs' on Russia Would be Costly for All Involved
One day after a disputed and widely deemed unlawful referendum in Crimea, the Crimean Parliament declared Crimea's independence from Ukraine, formally asking Russia to annex it, the New York Times reports. This comes after 96.6% of voters in Crimea support joining Russia. With this, the crisis in the Ukraine hit its peak to date and the West now needs to follow up its rhetoric with credible actions that impose "high costs" on Russia.
President Putin's swift and decisive move – in sharp contrast to the West – into the Crimean peninsula, which took advantage of early Ukraine crisis turmoil, now affords Russia a significant strategic advantage. Putin can react to punitive measures the US and its European allies impose from a position of relative strength.
Most importantly, the Ukraine crisis also marks a break from "pragmatic" Russian foreign policy on the Eurasian continent as perceived by the West. In 2010, Janusz Bugajski of CSIS provided insightful analysis by elaborating on the problem with the word "pragmatic" in this context: "[It] has been loosely applied in describing Russia's foreign policy by implying partnership, moderation, and cooperation, as well as by counterposing it to an ideologized and expansive imperial policy characteristic of the Cold War." He stresses that – different from Western understanding of "pragmatic" – it is pragmatic imperialism that can describe Putinist Russia's foreign policy, with its key objective restoring Russia as a neo-imperial state, or at least a regional superpower. Bugajski details Russia's re-imperialization as follows:
"To achieve these long-range objectives, the Kremlin is intent on expanding the 'Eurasian space' in which Russia is the dominant political [and cultural] player, and thus the (…) Euro-Atlantic zone of security would become increasingly fractured and neutralized. In this strategic struggle, 'Eurasianism' for Moscow involves two interconnected approaches: transforming Europe into an appendage of the Russian sphere of influence and debilitating Euro-Atlanticism by undercutting Europe's connections with the United States."
President Putin appears to be working toward both strategic objectives as the following energy sector developments highlight.
Regarding the first strategic objective – Europe's transformation into a Russian energy appendage – which is already under way, Russia utilizes state-controlled natural gas monopoly Gazprom in an attempt to solidify its long-term European gas market dominance.
Given Germany's central role in Russia's European energy strategy, Breaking Energy recently published a 3-part series on Gazprom's German operations.
Germany is an indispensable US ally, particularly with regard to imposing tough sanctions on Russia, but trade sanctions could result in "high costs" for all sides in a globalized world with deep economic interdependency. However, US-German actions vis-a-vis Russia are distinct from the asset freezes and travel bans on 21 Russian and Ukrainian officials imposed by the EU and U.S. President Obama per executive order.
This so-called "first round" of sanctions - focused only on individuals – is fairly modest and has been telegraphed for sometime. Targeting individual Putin allies and advisers, while attention grabbing, is a far cry from imposing "high costs" and Putin appears to have circumvented some of these measures. According to Bloomberg citing Fed data, the Federal Reserve recorded a record decrease of $104 billion to $2.86 trillion in US government securities held in its custody in the week ending March 12. This fuels speculation that Russia may have shifted its holdings out of the U.S. in anticipation of Western sanctions. It is also possible the officials on the sanctions list have done the same.
Western governments understand that an escalation beyond this "first round" of sanctions will likely have negative repercussions for all participants in terms of lost trade, potential expropriations, general market uncertainty, and Europe's case, a medium-term decrease in energy security. As such, the decision to move forward with more punitive sanctions will come down to individual governments' pain threshold for bearing the costs.

Isla de Santa Catalina
Facing Santa Isabel is a tiny volcanic island of Santa Catalina, separated from Providencia by the narrow Canal Aury. A brightly coloured pedestrian bridge known as the Lover's Bridge links the islands. From Providencia it's a pretty, scenic walk to it's neighbouring island. The island of Santa Catalina has no roads and exploring this beautiful...more
Lover's Bridge
Lover's Bridge connects Providencia with the smaller neighbouring island of Santa Catalina. The picturesque bridge helps the 200 inhabitants of Santa Catalina to cross the sea to get to Santa Isabel, 'the capital' of Providencia. It was built after the pirates made an artificial channel between the two islands. Prior to its construction, people had...more
Santa Isabel
Santa Isabel is a little town situated at the island's northern tip. The town has a lovely malecón with colourful parapet decorated with figures of sea horses, small wooden benches and street lights. It is connected by a raised boardwalk known as Lover's Bridge to a tiny island of Santa Catalina. Despite its gorgeous location in a picturesque bay...more
Morgan's Head
One of the most famous attractions of Santa Catalina is Morgan's Head, a large rocky cliff which resembles a human head when seen from a special angle. The rock was carved by the sea and it's best seen from the water. It is named after the famous Welsh pirate Henry Morgan who used Providencia and Santa Catalina as a base for raiding the Spanish...more
Boat Tour
A great way to see the island is taking a boat tour around the island's 20 km of coast. Boat normally leaves from Aguadulce and also load people on Suroeste. You can appreciate spectacular views of mountainous landscape. The trip allows you to take in various sights and visit some of the most popular attractions, including Morgan's Head (a rock...more
Bahía Suroeste
From Aguadulce it's a 20-minute walk to Bahía Suroeste (South West Bay) with Providencia's longest beach. It is more deserted and much more beautiful, and the water is exceptionally calm. There are a couple of small hotels and posadas and various beachfront restaurant serving some of the island's best seafood. If you walk a little further along...more
Manzanillo Village
Along the main road where you turn to the side road leading down to Manzanillo Beach, is Manzanillo village. There you find a supermarket but most of the houses are off the main road. The day before I left Providencia I had to confirm reservation of my hotel in Cartagena. Since there was no official public place to make a phone call and I did not...more
Bahía Aguadulce
Bahía Aguadulce (Freshwater Bay) is the main tourist area of Providencia with the greatest concentration of places to stay and restaurants. Here you find car and motorbike rental, snorkeling and scuba tour companies, and the boat trips leave from Aguadulce as well. There are about 6 small hotels and several posadas. Underneath the hotel El Pirata...more
Isla de Providencia Restaurants
Cold Drink Right on the Beach
I was so excited about Providencia, so after my arrival to Aguadulce I did not loose time and started to explore the island as soon as I left my luggage in the posada. I decided to take a walk to Bahía Sureste, the first bay after Aguadulce. You follow the main (and the only) road to the south and then turn right to the beach. It's a 15-minute...more
Typically Caribbean Chill Out Beach Bar
Roland Roots Bar is a very atmospheric open-air hangout set on the most beautiful beach in Providencia. Shaded and sheltered homemade tables and chairs clustered in palm grove with views of Providencia's incredible Manzanillo Beach make it a place to come at lunch and stay all day until dinner. Reggae beats play continually at a pleasant volume and...more

Isla de Providencia Nightlife
Rustic Beach Bars: Reggae Music Accompanied with...
Providencia is not famous for its nightlife but there are a few places where you can have a beer or enjoy your favourite coconut/rum cocktail (coco loco - crazy coconut :) or piña colada) in the rhythm of reggae music. Rolands Bar on Manzanillo Beach (run by a friendly local Rasta named Roland) is a reggae paradise and a place to go. Sometimes a live band plays in the evening and usually a central campfire is on at night burning old palm wood in order to keep mosquitoes at bay. I spent most of the evenings here, including the New Year's Eve. Quite enjoyed the atmosphere and met some really interesting locals.
Another cool spot to hang out is Richards Place found in Bahía Sureste (run by another friendly Rasta, named Richard). Hi makes best mojitos and piña coladas on the island. While you'll need your own transportation to visit Rolands you can walk to Richards Place (it's a 15-minute walk from Aguadulce).
On the weekend evenings many of the locals hang out around the bar in front of Lover's Bridge in Santa Isabel. Occasionally there is live music in Pizzas Place in Aguadulce. The best thing to do is just ask the local people what's going on.Related to:

Isla de Providencia Transportation
Return Flight from San Andrés to...
I arranged with my taxi driver Wilmar to pick me up at at 06:00am to drive me to the airport. To my pleasant surprised he arrived even 15 minutes earlier and was patiently waiting for me in his car. After a week I returned to San Andrés and then took another flight to Cartagena. I knew I would only have little time between the flights so I arranged...more
Getting Around in the Island
The chiva (old artisan modified bus) is an easy way to navigate the island but not all the places can be reach by it. You can rent a car and drive around the island's 20km circuit of roads. Ask for car rental at the airport or in Aguadulce, the centre of island's tourist industry. A great way to explore off the beaten track is hiring a motorbike or...more
Flight from Cali to San Andrés
There is no direct flight from Colombian mainland to Providencia. You have to get to San Andrés first. Two airlines have flights from Cali to San Andrés, Copa and Avianca. Most of the flights have a connection in Bogotá, and there is usually one direct flight daily with Copa (operated by AeroRepublica). I booked the direct flight. It was a night...more

Rondón - Most Famous Traditional Dish
Rondón (meaning 'run down') is a rich fish and conch casserole with yucca, yam, green plantains and dumplings, slowly cooked in coconut milk. It's most delicious dish, very popular in the Caribbean. The recipe varies depending on what ingredients you happen to 'run down', it means, whatever the fisherman brings that day. Half the fun is gathering...more
Island's Traditional Cuisine
Providencia has its own gastronomy related to its natural resources and seafood appears almost in all meals. Native cuisine represents an important part of the island's culture and Providencia dishes have a strong Afro-Caribbean flavour which is result of the process of racial and cultural mixing that has going on for centuries. Island dishes are...more
Traditional music and dance of Providencia is the result of an eclectic mixture of influences, including European, polka, mazurka and waltz, combined with strong Afro-Caribbean influence, now mixed with calypso, socca and reggae music.

Isla de Providencia Sports & Outdoors
Excellent Snorkeling and Colombia's Best...
With the world's third largest barrier reef (at about 255 square kilometres) Providencia is Colombia's top diving destination. This area is relatively unknown, yet offers some of the best snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean, with an immense amount of underwater biodiversity, warm tropical waters and excellent underwater visibility for almost all the year. The waters around Providencia have been designated a protected area by UNESCO and are now known as the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve. There are more than 30 dive sites and over 20 snorkeling sites, and none of which are spoiled by overcrowding.
There is a great diversity of different dive sites - cliffs, caves, blue holes and many sunken pirate ships. Providencia is suitable fol all divers, whether novice or experienced. The local diving operators are professional and equipment is of a high standard. Apart from the sites around the offshore belt near the islets of Cayo Tres Hermanos and Cayo Cangrejo, most of Providencia's finest dive spots are located on the island's western side. Almost all of them are easily accessible by boat, no more than half an hour away, several even only 5 to 10 minutes away. Divers are likely to spot turtles, lobsters, rays, barracuda and red snappers.
Snorkeling can be done on just about any part of the island where you can access the water. The snorkel areas are comprised mainly of rocky cliffs where you can find crevices and caves full of fish and coral formations. Some of the better spots to snorkel are Santa Catalina and Morgan's Head, Mc Bean Reserve, Cayo Tres Hermanos and Cayo Cangrejo.
Snorkeling and scuba tour companies primarily operate out of Aguadulce, with a choice of half and full-day tours.
Equipment: In case you don't bring your own snorkeling gear you can always rent some. Usually it is necessary to wear water shoes because at some places there are lots of rocks and coral formations. You can rent them as well.
Crystal clear waters make underwater photography popular so bring at least a disposable waterproof camera to capture Providencia's stunning seabed views.Related to:

Got a new 2001 Kohler 23 (with Donaldson air filter) on order for my Scag Turf Tiger. The old 25 barely lasted 1360 hours with one complete rebuild, new intake manifold, new valves. And that with oil changes every 50 hours and a new filter every 100 hours. All to find out that the main bearing had worn out the block causing the flywheel to hit the ignition module, resulting in loss of power. I've read the posts on Amsoil bypass filters, but haven't seen anyone with an Amsoil bypass on a 23. There used to be an oil that Snapper promoted (I think) that would double the manufacturer's engine warranty if used exclusively. Anybody tried that? What's your best advice for breaking in this engine?
Question for Stonewall?
I'm curious how often did you clean the air filter?
Also when changing the oil how dirty was it?
We probably did not change our air filters that often but we cleaned them even if they had just a little bit of dirt on them.
The oil we did not go by hours, if the oil looked almost dirty we changed it. It was probably less than 50 hours.
One thing I know for sure is lots of times dirt gets into the Engine when removing the air filter. It's happened to us quite a few times. It got to the point everytime we went to put on the filter I would check with flashlight first.
I've read that dirt ingestion is common when cleaning the air filter.
The only reason I'm asking is that's not many hours on a Kohlar engine & a rebuild too? Did the folks that worked on it give you anykind of reason why the engine failed prematurely?
My stepfather had Snapper ZTR with 14hp Kohlar Command & at 800 hours it was smoking & rod knocking. Well when I went to check it I noticed a astronomical amouunt of dirt in the throat of the carb & filter was dirty. I put all back together. Then I asked him to clean the filter & I watched him. Bam he was letting dirt fall down in the carb.
At that time he was 72 years old & couldn't see very well. He now uses a flashlight on his new Shortblocked Engine!
One more thing I own a Outdoor Equipment Dealership & when I first took over almost 10 years ago. The #1 problem we had was engines that were rebuilt by the Techs for the previous 2 years before I took over. I learned the hard way when I had my Lawn Service Business that rebuilding an engine was a complete waste of money & you lucky if you got half as many hours as the new engine got before first overhaul.
We now refuse to rebuild & we loose a few customers over it. But we have no repeats on Short Blocked Engines at all & the customer is always very happy with the results!
If I had it to do over again I would have used Synthetic oil in all my larger Engines.
If you are at a website & you like it. Please, Click on the Banners?
GrassMaster, Have a Nice Day!!!!!
I used a remote air filter, similar to a Donaldson, but it did not bold directly on the carb. I rarely had to clean the round air/foam filter that sat on the carb. This was the only remote filter my mechanic or I knew of at the time. It did a good job, but not as well as the Donaldson.
The oil was not dirty at all. I would have used synthetic oil, but my mechanic (quite a good one and on Scag's dealer board) said it would have a hard time keeping the hydraulic lifters primed.
The reasons given as a possibility for premature failure were bad Kohler design or overheating that allowed the main bearing to wear the block giving it too much slack.
23 HP break in and a long life
Everyone has their own opinion about engine and oil and what they can get away with and what works for them but this will work every time.
1. Change the oil and filter after the first 5 hours.
2. Change the oil and filter every 50 hours.
3. Keep the engine and the rest of the mower clean.
4. Keep the blades sharp (sharpen daily or twice daily)
4. Use Kohler Command oil (10w30) and Kohler oil filters.
5. Check the gauge on the air filter and believe it.
6. Use gas with no alcohol (Amoco 87 or 89) no high test.
If you aren't sure about how to check for alcohol in the
fuel then e-mail me and I will tell you how.
7. start the engine at idle & only use the choke when cold.
8. Follow the engine maintenance guide.
My new 23 Kohler runs like a champ. Sometimes you don't realize how worn out your old engine is until you put a new one on. My mechanic put the oil cooler from my old 25 on the new one and had to raise my Peco bagger up 3" to compensate for the Donaldson filter.
I think I'm gonna buy an Amsoil dual-stage oil filter and go with their new Series 2000 0W-30 synthetic oil and get oil analysis done to see about lengthening my oil change intervals.
I was thinking about using the Amsoil remote oil filter system (I think that this is what you are talking about) on a 1999 suburban suv. I spoke with the Chevy service tech and he said that this system might reduce the oil pressure and cause problems for the engine. I think that the engine was designed to handle set amount of oil volume and would be too small/weak for this system. I think I will just use the Amsoil filter instead.

Irecently aquired a kohler enginne with 800
hrs on it . I went to mobil 1 synthetic
Am i wrong in doing that . thanks TM

Amsoil bypass filters
If you want to get an Amsoil bypass filter system for a 23 HP Kohler, Dixie Chopper uses them on their 23 HP motors. Go to a DC dealer and get one and look at how they are hooked up while your there.

^One of the lawns we mow
Are you talking about the remote filter system which attaches to the where the old oil filter fits on the engine, or are you discussing the second filter line that is somehow hooked into the base of the engine and is seperate from the oringinal oil filter?
The Dixie Chopper system has a regular oil filter plus an Amsoil bypass filter. You change the regular one often, the Amsoil filter about once a year. The Ams filter will filter out dirt down to 1 micron in size.

MLIS Culminating Experience
Regulations of the UWM Graduate School require that all candidates for graduate degrees "demonstrate proficiency to integrate the knowledge of that discipline" in which they obtain a degree. The faculty of the School of Information Studies (SOIS) has determined that this requirement be met through successful completion of one of the following activities.
Option One: Capstone Project
The MLIS Capstone Project involves identifying an information problem in a real-world setting and developing the means to address it. You must have completed 60% of your course work and all core courses before registering for this activity. It will be available to students in fall, spring and summer terms, run over a 12 week period (11 weeks in summer) with guidelines and due dates specified on the D2L capstone project site. There are 5 phases with deadlines throughout the term. Each phase of the project requires a submission to D2L which will be evaluated by an instructor who has been assigned to oversee projects in specific sections. Submissions will be graded as either "Pass" or "Needs Improvement." If the latter, feedback is provided to support the student in preparation for a revised phase submission.
The final outcome of the Capstone Project may be in the form of a poster, a webpage, a journal article, a mobile app, or some other product, provided it is approved by the instructor. In recent terms, students have submitted their capstone projects for such venues as professional journals, research posters for conferences, and documents for use internally within their libraries.
Please click here for more details on the Capstone Option Guidelines >>
Option Two: Thesis OptionStudents may select the thesis option at any point in their course of study, but are encouraged to make this decision and form their thesis committee as early as possible to avoid the necessity of taking additional coursework.

Option Three: Proficiency Exam
Students choosing the proficiency examination option must successfully pass a written examination. This written examination consists of a list of approximately 8-12 questions that are distributed at the start of the examination period from which students select two questions to answer. A student who fails the examination the first time may repeat it once. However, a student who fails the examination may not select the thesis option.
Note: Students intending to graduate in December (2015), must complete the capstone project or, if they enrolled before January 2014, may opt for the proficiency exam.

I'm not sure about you, but I love when I come across savory edibles at dispensaries, since most are usually dessert items, so I put together a "mini medible meal" using some edibles I never tried before. I opted for a bottle of White Chocolate Caramel Canna Cappuccino, a bag of Mediterranean Tri-Flatbreads, a jar of medicated queso, and some herb and concentrates as an after dinner mint. This made for a happy, yet mellow, medicated meal that I'd gladly eat again, but let's take a look at each item individually...
DETAILS: This 12 ounce drink is packed with 316mg of cannabinoids, which is a lot more potent than most of the other drinks I've seen out there. Keens Greens Edibles make a number of different drinks and Chai High Teas, with the same level of potency, which come in awesome flavors like Apple Pie High (which I'll hopefully be sipping upon later this week).
INGREDIENTS: Water, sugar, whey powder, non-dairy creamer, whole milk, cannabis, maltodextrin, instant coffee, cocoa, sodium citrate, natural and artificial flavors, silicon dioxide, and cellulose gum.
MY THOUGHTS: It has a nice cappuccino taste, with a medicated chaser not far behind it. The combination of the coffee and creamers does a great job of masking the flavor of the immense amount of cannabinoids they packed into this 12 ounce, chilled drink. The milky flavor is mixed with whey powder, which was a familiar flavor for me, but don't expect this to taste like a gourmet cappuccino (given the ingredients)... It's pretty easy to consume your medication this way, and I'm excited to try out their other flavors.
DETAILS: These 10 flatbread crackers collectively contain 100mg of cannabinoids from an unnamed sativa strain, which is a common edible dosage, especially for recreational sales. Medibles make SO many different medicated edibles, like the Twenty Dollar Bar, which is the most potent chocolate bar I've seen yet, at 400mg.
INGREDIENTS: Cannabis, flour, water, olive oil, salt, sugar, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, savory, and onion.
MY THOUGHTS: These crackers aren't that crunchy, since they're flatbreads, so they'll have a bit of chewiness to them. And I'm not really a fan of the Mediterranean flavor, but that's the only flavor that was available (I tried two different dispensaries), so the aftertaste is a bit unpleasant to me. I will say though that the mild hint of citrus you get in the aftertaste, thanks to the marjoram, is actually quite nice. And since I bought these to dip in the queso, the flavor was masked for the most part, and all I had to deal with was the weird texture as I chewed through them.
DETAILS: This 3.5 ounce jar of queso contains 87.5mg of cannabinoids, which isn't a lot (given the fact that you probably won't eat the jar in one sitting), but you're always welcome to dip other edibles into it to boost the overall dosage you get. Cold Baked makes a few different sauces, and their current lineup is queso, green chili, and BBQ, which makes me think they like to keep things spicy!
INGREDIENTS: Sugar, monosodium something (ends in mante I think - great printing job on the label), corn starch, dextrose, rendered chicken fat, onion powder, hydrogenated vegetable protein, soy, turmeric, natural flavoring, disodium insinuate and concentrate, sodium phosphate, modified food starch, calcium phosphate, dried corn syrup, canola oil, malt dextrin, acetic acid, folic acid, ascorbic acid, sodium alginate and citrate, apocarotenal and annatto, cultured pasteurized milk, peppers, enzymes, cheddar cheese, cheese culture, natamycin, peppers (what kind?), sea salt, citric acid, wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, iron (I think), thiamin, mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid (first time it was a preservative, second time... who knows), trace of calcium chloride, apple cider vinegar, water, spices, garlic, xanthan gum, cream, olive oil, sodium benzoate, cannabis and cannabis extracts, monoglycerides, diglycerides, polysorbate 80, and carrageenan.
MY THOUGHTS: It tastes about the same as any queso I've had in the past, but this one has a spicy kick that I love! And the peppers actually still have some form and texture left to them, unlike other commercial quesos where you're left with just the skins of the peppers. It's like a soft nudge, as your teeth glide through the peppers, just to let you know that they're there. But Cold Baked really needs to get a better label printer because I sat here for like 20 minutes, with a lighted magnifying glass, trying to read each ingredient. Some words I couldn't even make out, and others seem like typos to me. While this may not be a hit with healthy eaters, given all the preservatives and other odd ingredients, it tastes great and you can't even tell it's a medicated sauce!
I gave the edibles plenty of time to do their thing, and soon I could feel the presence Mary Jane in my face, literally. For some, this meal would be too much to consume in one sitting by yourself, but given the fact that I'm 6'3", around 250lbs, and have a different metabolism than you, this is around the level I need to feel the same effects as most people do from edibles. Now, I didn't eat all of the queso, and around 450mg is an ideal dosage for me, but now it's time for an after dinner mint…
DETAILS: This gram of cannabis was organically grown in soil, and then given to me for free from a local dispensary called Grow Life, as perk for being a first time patient, as well as member pricing for two weeks (something not many places do). It's a pungent hybrid that Leafly claimed was rare, smelled like Orange Dreamsicles, and no one knows its genetic origins. Do you see why I wanted to try it out? And the budtender at Grow Life even said that the strain was extinct, only being kept alive by clones here and there, so I was really pumped to try it out after that.
INGREDIENTS: Nitrogen, potassium oxide, calcium, boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, phosphorus pentoxide, magnesium, sulfur, vitamin B1, reverse osmosis water, calcium oxide, sea kelp, molasses, and root soil.
MY THOUGHTS: Orange Velvet has a really distinct citrus smell, which is new to me, that smells like an orange rind, mixed with flowers and sweetness. The buds look airy, but are actually pretty solid, and are covered in crystals and orange hairs. I broke it up with my fingers, because I felt like it, and my fingers actually smell as if I had peeled an orange a few hours ago. Now, it doesn't exactly taste like the Orange Dreamsicle Leafly mentions in their description, but the bud that I vaporized did have an orangey taste to it, upon exhale, and it added to the body high I was already feeling. But in all honesty, after vaporizing it a few different times, I'm not really a fan of the flavor at all.
DETAILS: This gram of hash (wax) was made from premium house trim by Mahatma Extreme Concentrates. Mahatma took first place for medical concentrates at the Cannabis Cup in Denver last year, as well second place for sativa wax concentrates at the 710 Cup last year, plus 3 different first place awards at last year's THC Championship, and first place for best solvent concentrates at Dab-A-Doo in Amsterdam last year, so I was anxious to see how good their concentrates really are. Now, I'm not sure what strains were crossed to make this particular variety (my guess is Death Star and Master Jedi), but I was told it was an indica, and I got it at a discount (first time patient perk from Cannabicare), which is always ideal for me.
INGREDIENTS: CP grade 99.8% pure N-Butane Hydrocarbon Extraction
MY THOUGHTS: After I spaced off for a bit, I moved onto the Jedi Death Star wax, which looks like a chunk of caramel, smells like sugary candy with a dash of spice, and tastes a little floral upon exhale. This wax is made from premium sugar leaf house trim, and touts Mahatma Extreme Concentrates' Black Label, but has the consistency of a thick butter, not so much a wax. And sure, this stuff does what it's supposed to, but I'm not so sure about Mahatma's concentrates because I cannot get away from that floral perfume taste/smell. I expected it to be amazing, since they won so many awards, and maybe it's just this strain... but I hope their extraction process isn't what's making it feel like I'm inhaling perfume.
And I almost forgot to finish this…
So, the body buzz for whole meal was quite lovely, and it lasted for a while, but out of all the medibles I tried out today, the queso was probably my favorite. It was a savory edible yet you couldn't taste the medication at all. It was a great dip, had a nice spice to it, and I look forward to eating some more of it later. And while the combination of the overly citrus Orange Velvet and the Jedi Death Star wax wasn't as delicious as I had hoped, they had me ready to crawl into the comfortable bed beside me, before I had even finished taking notes on them.
But what kind of savory meal would you like infused with cannabis?

Are We Food for the Moon?
May 16, 2013 By
By JASON JEFFREY— If man is not affected in some way by the Moon, he is the only thing on Earth that isn't. – Robert Millikan (1868-1953), US physicist & 1923 Nobel Prize winner Probably no heavenly body has received as much attention down through the ages as our Moon.

Women have achieved or exceeded parity with men in most academic fields but continue to be outnumbered in the physical sciences, engineering, and math. For many equity activists, this imbalance constitutes a serious problem, even a "crisis," necessitating federal oversight to prevent gender bias in higher education and scientific industries. Congress, the Obama administration, and many science and education leaders are considering dramatic measures to improve women's prospects in the sciences. But what if claims of gender bias have been exaggerated?
In 2007, the National Academy of Sciences released Beyond Bias and Barriers: Fulfilling the Promise of Women in Academic Science and Engineering, an influential study suggesting that women face a hostile environment in the laboratory. The NAS report dismissed the possibility that gender disparities in scientific fields might be attributable to biological differences and called for immediate remedial action in education, government, and business. This volume examines the research behind the NAS's claims and presents a more balanced analysis of the gender gap.
Scientific research on the relationship between gender and vocation is complex, vibrant, and full of reasonable disagreements. Some scholars agree that discrimination is the best explanation for the current configuration of men and women in science, but others, perhaps a majority, suggest that biology and considered preference explain why men and women follow different career paths. The Science on Women and Science is a lively, readable, and balanced collection of articles by distinguished scholars from sides of an often-contentious debate.

Best Surf Shop (2002)
A recent transplant from Southern California was shocked when we told her that people really do surf here in Texas. She would have died laughing if we had shown her our pick for Houston's best surf shop. It's true that the outside of the Surfhouse isn't what you might expect. Instead of seagulls, we have blackbirds. Instead of salt in the air, we have exhaust fumes. Pounding waves? Forget it. The nearest beach is an hour away. But on the inside, this north-of-the-Heights landmark is a shrine to Texas surf culture. The Surfhouse has been a fixture on the Houston scene since before most of its current customers were born. It opened in 1967, under the same owners it has today. "They're really into the history of it all," said one 28-year-old customer who has been shopping here since age 11. "It's cool to support a store where they really love the sport."

I just purchased Email Checker Pro, I am very pleased with its results and performance.
I have a group of about 2000 emails that are updated yearly. I just ran a test on 500 from last year and compared that to the failed ones from then that I had to handle manually (what a pain in the a** that is every year). It took about 60 seconds and the results compared very favorably with my manual removal process). Glad I purchased this program. It is going to save me tons of time each year. - By Rich Kern for Email Checker Pro
Nice! Doesn't get any easier to test an email, enter it, test it. It will let you know if the email is legit or working or not. Simple, nice, works. 5 starts. - By firstname.lastname@example.com for Email Checker Basic (100% FREE)

Favorite spot to sleep
posted 6 years ago
This was my hamster's favorite spot to sleep. He used to carry mouthfuls of his bedding up there so that he could make a cozy little alcove. He'd also hide a lot of his food up there, as well.
Pros: Great spot to sleep, easy to clean, entertaining
Cons: None

This delectable dish is named for my mother, who created it at our "camp" at Cypremort Point. It's very adaptable-you can saute˘ the shrimp, or broil or bake them.
Peel the shrimp and devein them, but leave the tails on. Sprinkle generously with the salt and peppers, mixing well, and arrange in a single layer in a baking pan.
Melt the butter over medium heat and add the vermouth, lemon juice, Worcestershire, green onions, and parsley. Simmer for 3 minutes, then pour over the shrimp.
Bake the shrimp in a preheated 375 F oven just until they turn pink, 10-15 minutes. (You can also broil them, which will take less time.)
Serves 6-8 as a first course, 4 as a main dish.

World Bulletin/News Desk
Across the bay of Naples from Pompeii, where thousands were incinerated by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, lies a hidden "super volcano" that could kill millions in a catastrophe many times worse, scientists say.
The boiling mud and sulphurous steam holes of the area west of Naples known as the Campi Flegrei or Phlegraean Fields, from the Greek word for burning, are a major tourist attraction.
But the zone of intense seismic activity, which the ancients thought was the entrance to hell, also could pose a danger of global proportions with millions of people literally living on top of a potential future volcanic eruption.
"These areas can give rise to the only eruptions that can have global catastrophic effects comparable to major meteorite impacts," said Giuseppe De Natale, head of a project to drill deep under the earth to monitor the molten "caldera".
One such meteorite impact is thought to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago when debris thrown into the atmosphere from the huge explosion plunged the earth into darkness.
Scientists plan to drill 3.5 km (2.2 miles) below the surface to monitor the huge chamber of molten rock near Pompeii and give early warning of any eruption from a 13-km-wide collapsed volcanic caldera.
The Campi Flegrei are similar to the Yellowstone caldera in the U.S. state of Wyoming but of more concern because they are in an area populated by around 3 million people in the Naples hinterland.
"Fortunately, it is extremely rare for these areas to erupt at their full capacity, as it is extremely rare for large meteorites to hit the earth," De Natale told Reuters.
"But some of these areas, in particular the Campi Flegrei, are densely populated and therefore even small eruptions, which are the most probable, fortunately, can pose risks for the population," said De Natale, from the Vesuvius observatory at Italy's National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology.
"That is why the Campi Flegrei absolutely must be studied and monitored. I wouldn't say like others, but much more than the others exactly because of the danger given that millions of people live in the volcano."
However, the project, funded by the multi-national International Continental Scientific Drilling Programme, has run into major opposition from some local scientists who say the drilling itself could cause a dangerous eruption or earthquake.
Benedetto De Vivo, a geochemist at Naples University, has said the drilling could cause an explosion.
The Naples city council blocked the project in 2010 but it resumed on the site of an abandoned steel mill at Bagnoli, west of Naples, late last month after the recently elected new mayor, Luigi De Magistris, gave the go-ahead.
De Natale scoffed at the objections, saying that the drilling was perfectly safe and that similar probes had been sent down by mining projects looking for sources of thermal energy in the 1980s and earlier.
"There were dozens of drillings in the past, with much less secure instruments for industrial motives and nobody said anything," he said.
He added that those raising objections were not experts on drilling and that their suggestions of potential earthquakes or escapes of magma or liquid molten rock, had been exaggerated by the local press.
"Some of the things they suggested are laughable," he said, adding that the project's priority will be scientific knowledge and safety of the local population rather than industrial exploitation as in the past.
"We believe the security of millions of people deserves the most powerful methods of inquiry without thinking too much about the economic aspect," he said.
He added that drilling is the only way to discover the geological history of the area because successive eruptions buried previous evidence. The probe has already found volcanic rock from a major eruption 15,000 years ago.
De Natale's team has begun drilling a pilot hole at the Bagnoli site, where a long jetty built to load steel is used by joggers and courting couples enjoying the spectacular Neapolitan sunsets.
The pilot hole is aimed not only at studying the stratification of the area but to establish a deep geological observatory with new instruments which De Natale says are many times more sensitive than those in the past.
"This will increase by a thousand or 10,000 times our ability to detect small episodes that are precursors of future eruptions," he said.
Movement of Earth's surface
The project also aims to study the cause of a phenomenon known as bradyseism which is a gradual raising and lowering of the earth's surface because of deep volcanic activity. This is episodic but in the latest phase the ground has risen by 3.5 m (yards) in 15 years, the most since medieval times.
This movement forced the evacuation of 30,000 people temporarily from Pozzuoli in the 1980s and a fishing harbour in the old part of the town was completely abandoned.
Once work is complete on the pilot hole, scientists plan to drill much deeper, to around 3.5 km where temperatures are at around 500 degrees C (930 F). But De Natale said this could take another 18 months and the area for the second phase has not yet been decided.
His team has developed new fibre optic sensors able to withstand the extreme heat that would have destroyed earlier electronic equipment.
"We will be able to identify the smallest signs of a future eruption...this is an enormous mitigation of the volcanic risk," he said.
De Natale says there will be no risk of an escape of magma because the molten chamber is at 7-km depth or lower and sensors will give ample warning of temperatures that reach 1,000 degrees C at the molten core.
"We will stop everything if we detect temperatures at 500 degrees...we can close the top of the drilling hole hermetically in a fraction of a second," he said.
Local people are divided on whether the drilling could be dangerous.
"There is a risk that the drilling can lead to a shift of the earth's surface and if that happened, rather than helping to predict future problems, they will be creating them," Pozzuoli student Marco Laporta said.
Many are more sanguine. "Back in the 1980s they said we would all be blown up and we weren't," pensioner Luigi Bruni said.

Comparison: VT's QB Classes
Sign-up for HokieHaven.com Wireless Text Alerts sent right to your cell phone!
For the first time since 2010, Virginia Tech signed more than one quarterback on Feb. 6 signing day.
Both Bucky Hodges and Carlis Parker join the Hokies this season and both have a chance to be Virginia Tech's quarterback of the future. They each have contrasting styles as Parker is more of a dual-threat while Hodges has the stronger arm.
But while each highly-rated quarterback has drawn plenty of attention this year, how do they compare with Hokies signees of the past?
Two quarterbacks currently with Virginia Tech weren't even listed as quarterbacks coming out of high school, which puts a bit of a twist in comparisons. But while senior-to-be Logan Thomas and redshirt freshman Brenden Motley might not have gotten that listing from Rivals.com, they played primarily under center in their high school careers.
Thomas, a four-star from Brookville (Va.), was listed as the top tight end in the country in the 2009 class. But with his cannon of an arm, he might have been destined to play quarterback at the college level well before he decided on Virginia Tech. As the Hokies' starter for the past two seasons, Thomas will again lead the way this fall. Both Parker and Hodges could both be redshirted this season, giving them plenty of time to learn the new system of new offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler and make next year a big battle to see which one will succeed Thomas.
Motley was listed as an athlete out of Christiansburg in last year's class, though like Thomas, he played predominantly at quarterback.
The quarterback position has had varied success for the Hokies. Jim Druckenmiller had a successful run in the mid 1990s before Michael Vick really put Virginia Tech on the map in 1999 when as a redshirt freshman he reached the national championship game in the Sugar Bowl.
Following Vick was his younger brother, Marcus Vick, who remains the highest-rated signee in the Rivals.com era. The younger Vick was the No. 8 player in the 2002 class and ranked the second-best dual-threat quarterback in the country, behind Vince Young, who signed at Texas.
Bucky Hodges, Salem (Va.) 2013:
No. 171 in the Rivals100, No. 10 pro-style QB, No. 10 in Virginia
Logan Thomas, Brookville (Va.), 2009: No. 71 in Rivals100, No. 1 tight end, No. 1 in Virginia
Tyrod Taylor Hampton (Va.), 2007:
No. 27 in Rivals100, No. 1 dual-threat QB, No. 1 in Virginia
Ike Whitaker, Northwest (MD), 2005: No. 3 dual-threat QB, No. 5 in Maryland
Sean Glennon, Westfield (Va.), 2004: No. 10 pro-style QB, No. 3 in Virginia
Marcus Vick, Hampton (Va.), 2002:
No. 8 in Rivals100, No. 2 dual-threat QB, No. 1 in Virginia
Sean Glennon, rated four-stars in the 2004 class had varied success during his career at Virginia Tech. Ike Whitaker was a celebrated four-star quarterback in the 2005 class, but played mostly receiver in three seasons with the Hokies and battled alcoholism, which has been well-documented.
Tyrod Taylor had many thinking he could be the next Michael Vick, another celebrated quarterback who could scramble. Taylor was a five-star recruit and the No. 27 player in the 2007 Rivals100 and led the Hokies to three Orange Bowl trips in four years.
Parker, from Statesville, NC has brought back the "next Michael Vick" tag this year. That came from coach Frank Beamer himself on signing day. Parker, a left-hander like Vick can move and also has a strong arm, though he was listed as the No. 73 athlete by Rivals because of his all-around ability. He played wide receiver in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas all-star game in December, but enrolled early at Virginia Tech and is getting a jump on Hodges in spring practice.
Rivals.com mid-atlantic analyst Adam Friedman saw Parker look good at receiver at the Shrine Bowl, a big reason why Parker was listed as an athlete.
"Parker says he wants to be a quarterback but when he lined up as a wide receiver or defensive back, his natural abilities were easy to see," Friedman said. "Parker is a great athlete and, with some work on his technique and footwork, he could become a really good cornerback."
Salem's (Va.) Hodges though has the highest ranking of the two, at No. 171 in the Rivals100. He's also widely talked about as having the stronger arm of the two. But how far behind will he be by arriving in Blacksburg this fall?
"We all know the success of this class will ultimately come down to Bucky Hodges," Rivals.com national analyst Mike Farrell said. "He could be an absolute home run with his size and mobility and if he develops as a passer a bit more, he could dominate.
It's far too early to tell if either will take the Hokies to where Michael Vick did, or even get back to where Taylor took them. But both Hodges and Parker have said repeatedly, they're ready for the competition.
