Rio slums: From no-go to must-buy
RIO DE JANEIRO Five years ago, Rio de Janeiro's "favela" hillside slums had such a bad rap that they were virtual no-go zones, where drug lords laid down the law and outsiders set foot at their peril.
But since 2011, police have seized control of dozens of favelas from drug gangs, and things have changed so dramatically that some of the slums are now seen as hot real estate investments - so hot, in fact, that two Europeans recently locked horns in a legal battle over a battered favela house.
Rio's slum "pacification" program is part of a strategy to make the city safe ahead of the 2014 soccer World Cup and 2016 Olympics. Murder rates are down, and SecoviRio, an organization representing Rio's real estate professionals, estimates that in the 72 hours after police took the first three favelas, property prices there jumped by 50 percent - and are still climbing.
In the Vidigal slum, middle-class Brazilians and foreigners who can't afford chic Rio neighborhoods are snapping up properties wedged between tony beachfront areas like Copacabana and Ipanema.
"It used to be you'd say the word `favela' and people would instantly think: drug trafficking, machine guns, grenades, kidnappings," said Anderson Ramos, a real estate agent with V.D.G. Imobiliaria, Vidigal's first real estate agency. "But now, you say `favela' and they think pacification and good deals on houses."
"We're seeing upper-class people, millionaires, famous musicians practically queuing up."
Andreas Wielend, one of the two Europeans fighting over a Vidigal property, got a killer deal when he bought an abandoned cinderblock house from a German businessman in late 2009. The deal was so sweet the owner had seller's remorse. When Wielend was away on vacation last fall, the former owner took over the house and changed the locks.
"It was unbelievable," Wielend said. "This house was my baby, I worked so hard to renovate it, and then I'm kicked out on false pretenses. It was surreal."
The sparring foreigners are part of growing group of wealthy buyers keen on acquiring ocean-view properties in Vidigal that are seen as bargains in a city whose real estate prices are among the highest in the Americas.
"I hate to use the word fashion, but the favelas are in fashion, for the first time," said Leonardo Schneider, SecoviRio's vice president.
Built in the late 19th century by army veterans seeking affordable housing, the first favelas sprang up unplanned, and many still lack basic services like sewage connections and electricity. For generations, they were home to destitute migrants, and in the 1970s began falling under the control of ruthless drug gangs.
When Wielend bought his place, it had long been abandoned and lacked a bathroom, kitchen and even doors. But it had a breathtaking view over Rio's concrete jungle and the Atlantic Ocean. The German seller, who had snapped up dozens of properties in Vidigal, was asking for just 20,000 reals, or $10,000.
Still, with a gang capo and his heavily armed minions for neighbors, Wielend thought hard before buying.
"It was a bit like signing up to living in `Robinson Crusoe,' on a remote island where everything's sort of makeshift," said the 35-year-old, a telecommunications engineer who first came to Brazil with Siemens, the German electronics giant. "I thought of the investment as a big gamble."
Then came the big change. Hundreds of police stormed into Vidigal, pushing out the drug gang and establishing a permanent presence. To date, 28 police pacification units have been established over dozens of favelas, with 12 more units expected this year.
Studies show homicides are down by double digits. A luxury boutique hotel with a rooftop pool is going up in Vidigal, and Italian tire-maker Pirelli shot part of its 2013 pinup calendar in Dona Marta, which in 2008 was the first favela to be pacified.

Tallahassee, FL --June 2, 2012--
Onlookers got a chance to learn about the history of the Tallahassee Fire Department Saturday.
The Tallahassee Fire Department Museum opened its doors to visitors Saturday 6-2-12 . The museum has over 150 artifacts including helmets, air tanks, photos and more. Some date back as far as the Civil War.
"Many of the firefighters, they have family history where their fathers, grandfathers were on the fire department. And when they see the museum it rejuvenates them. It makes them proud that they're firefighters," says Maurice Majszak museum curator.
He says the museum is open to the public on weekends. Those who want to visit, can call 850-284-9227 to make an appointment.
The museum is located inside the fire department's training facility off of Municipal Way. The museum first opened to the public last year.

Nothing brings the family together like a delicious, golden, aromatic turkey. But without the proper equipment, your cooked bird may be all style, and no substance. Fried turkey has gained notice for its unique flavor profile and quick cooking process – but the gallons of peanut oil needed in the process has created some handling challenges.
Turkey perfection is at your fingertips with The Big Easy – which uses just two tablespoons of oil to create that crispy, savory fried turkey signature. Our Southern-influenced take on the traditional favorite will have your family praising your turkey talents – and asking for seconds!
The classic 'fried turkey' uses several gallons of peanut oil that takes quite some time to heat up before you can fry the turkey. If the temperature is off just 5-10 degrees you either have oily tasting turkey or problems on your hands. But this basic recipe uses only a couple tablespoons of oil and will deliver a fried turkey taste without the mess!
- Whole turkey - check product manual for maximum weight
- 2 tablespoons of Vegetable or Peanut oil
- Herb seasoning or dry rub (NOTE Lower sugar content)
- Prepare turkey for cooking - remove the giblets, neck, etc.
- Remove any plastic or metal ties used to hold legs or cavity in place.
- Rinse the turkey in tepid water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Apply dry rub on outside of turkey - if your hands are small enough you can also work rub in between the skin and the meat on the breast and leg/thigh area.
- Lightly spray or brush oil on outside of turkey.
- Truss the legs and place turkey legs down in the cooking basket.
- To help prevent sticking, oil the wire in the cooking basket before placing turkey in it.
- Insert meat thermometer in the breast so that the tip does not touch bone and the dial is easily read when the basket is in the cooker.
- Light the burner according to instructions in manual - no pre-heating required
- Plan to cook the turkey for approximately 10 minutes per pound - and monitor the temperature closely as the last "planned" 20 minutes begin.
- When the thermometer registers about 3 degrees below the target temperature of 165F degrees - turn off the cooker and remove the cooking basket with the turkey in it. Place the basket on a shallow sheet pan and allow to rest for about 15 minutes while the turkey continues to cook from internal heat.
- Remove the turkey from the cooking basket.
- Tip: You can use your hands to make sure the turkey doesn't get hung up while trying to remove...and invert the basket and allow the turkey to gently "fall" out.
- After the turkey rests for about 20 - 30 minutes total it will be ready to carve.

Early Thursday morning authorities were called to a house in the Halsell community of Choctaw County. Once at the scene authorities found 67-year old Jimmy Tanks dead and the three men who were allegedly trying to repossess his car still at the scene.
For Tank's death, Kenneth Smith has been charged with murder. Smith's sister calls Tanks death a tragedy, but says her brother doesn't deserve to be charged with murder.
"We all hate that things have happened the way they have, but my brother would never hurt anyone he must have felt threatened himself to hurt someone," said Pattie Bousson-Smith's sister.
Choctaw County Sheriff James Lovett says Smith should have gone through his department before attempting to seize the vehicle. This is something Smith's sister disputes.
"From what I can understand- no repo men do not have to go through a sheriff's dept. Maybe they would rather they do that," said Bousson.
According to Sheriff Lovett, Smith is out of jail on a 75-thousand dollar bond.

Today's Urlesque Show features an unfortunate runway move, a vain politician, and a sled accident gone right.
First up is a model whose exit from the runway is anything but graceful.
Next is a Canadian politician who doesn't realize the camera is on him while he fixes his hair and checks himself out.
Finally we have a couple of kids sledding who end up accidentally hitting a fence, but at just the right place (the door). The only person who came out of this a loser was the property owner.

In the method, a wall flow of a second phase of a two or more phase medium is detected by the vortex flow measuring device, when a measurement signal which contains characteristic features for an interaction of a wall flow of the second phase of a flowing medium flowing along a wall of the measuring tube with the sensitive section of the first vortex sensor is registered by the vortex sensor.
|Optoelectronic device with a built-in fuse mechanism - An optoelectronic device for transmission of an electrical signal of an input electrical current circuit to an output electrical current circuit galvanically isolated from the input electrical current circuit. The device includes a housing. The input electrical current circuit contains, for producing an optical signal, an optical transmitting unit, which is arranged in the housing. The output electrical current circuit contains, for receiving the optical signal, an optical receiving unit, which is arranged in the housing. At least one fuse mechanism is provided in the housing, which interrupts transmission of the electrical signal in the case of an electrical current flow, which lies above a predetermined electrical current level.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Footsteps of Amundsen
Experience the thrill Amundsen felt when he discovered a new route to the South Pole via the steep, scenic and totally committing Axel Heiberg Glacier
Crevasses, deep snow, steep climbs and complex route-finding are hallmarks of this extreme expedition. Climb the steep Axel Heiberg Glacier, bounded by majestic peaks on both sides, and dance your way around the infamous maze of crevasses known as the Devil's Ballroom. The challenges continue on the polar plateau where elevations reach 10,500 ft (3200m) and temperatures plummet. Where Amundsen travelled by dog sled, we man haul supplies, our bodies fatigued by the quick elevation gain, long hard days and heavy loads.
Footsteps of Amundsen is arguably our most committing expedition. The drop off point and route are more than a thousand miles from our main Antarctic camp on the Union Glacier so you should be confident that you have the physical and mental stamina to complete the expedition and contribute to the success of your team. Dedicated training, all-out effort and conscientious teamwork are essential. The rewards for your effort are tangible. You will traverse Antarctica in the footsteps of one of its greatest explorers and a true polar pioneer.
Union Glacier Camp
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming at our main Antarctic camp at Union Glacier. You'll find roomy, double occupancy sleeping tents; a spacious dining hall; fresh delicious meals; and a spectacular setting. You'll be surprised how comfortable Antarctica can be! Our full-service camp is designed for Antarctic conditions and with best environmental practices in mind. It operates during the Antarctic summer (November through January) and is dismantled at the end of each season.
Field Camps
Our Gould Bay (Emperor Penguin), ski expedition, climbing and other field camps are more basic. Equipment must be lightweight and portable, yet still strong enough to withstand Antarctic conditions. We sleep in mountaineering-style tents and eat a combination of fresh-frozen meals, prepared by our chefs at Union Glacier; and de-hydrated meals.
Activity Level
Extremely Strenuous
Extremely strenuous trips include skiing and climbing expeditions in the most remote corners of Antarctica, where physiological altitude may exceed 11,000 feet (3350m) for many days in a row, and temperatures may drop below (–40°F / –40°C), with severe wind chill and storms. You will be active for 8-12 hours a day carrying or hauling heavy loads for many days in a row. You must have the physical ability to cover a minimum daily distance and the mental stamina to continue in extreme conditions when you are physically tired. Technical skill, a high level of strength and aerobic fitness, and commitment to a dedicated pre-trip training program are required.

Day 1 Fly to Antarctica
Fly from Chile to Antarctica by private transport jet. Land on our ice runway and settle in at Union Glacier Camp.
Days 2-5 Union Glacier
Final preparations and short training trip near Union Glacier Camp to fine tune systems and become accustomed to sled hauling.
Days 6-14 Axel Heiberg Glacier
Fly by ski aircraft to the foot of the Axel Heiberg Glacier on the Ross Ice Shelf. The glacier rises before us nestled between snow-covered peaks. This is the gateway to the polar plateau, beckoning us south. We pull through soft deep snow for the first few days on the lower slopes of the glacier. More hard work waits at the Ski Jump - a steep icefall that will take several days to climb. We camp among giant crevasses with incredible views out over the ice shelf. Above the icefall, the climbing continues until the glacier meets the polar plateau at about 9,000 ft (2700m).
Days 15-36 Crossing the Polar Plateau and South Pole Arrival
We leave the mountains behind and set off across the featureless plateau, trending west to avoid the Devil's Ballroom. This heavily crevassed area waylaid Amundsen in white out conditions, slowing his progress. We settle into a daily travel routine of 1hr marches, with short rest breaks in between. Temperatures plummet as we continue south and gradually gain elevation, climbing to 10,500 ft (3200m) on the polar ice cap. Wind, cold and white-out are our constant companions, challenging body, mind and spirit. At 88 23S we reach Shackleton's Furthest South. Amundsen paid tribute here to Shackleton – the first man to penetrate the Antarctic Mountains and set foot on the polar plateau. The last two degrees may feel the hardest as anticipation builds. Finally we arrive at the South Pole. We celebrate with our team and take time to reflect on the explorers who came before.
Days 37-38 Return to Union Glacier Camp
Pick up from South Pole by ski aircraft. Back at Union Glacier Camp we enjoy a champagne toast and celebration dinner. Then we rest, relax and enjoy the comforts of camp.
Day 39* Return flight to Punta Arenas, Chile
The aircraft from Punta Arenas will arrive with a new collection of avid explorers and you depart for the final leg of your Antarctic experience. Our ANI staff will meet you at Punta Arenas airport and transfer you to your hotel.
No two Antarctic experiences are exactly the same. This is part of the excitement and adventure of Antarctic travel. The itinerary above highlights typical activities and experiences. Exact timeline and details will vary from trip to trip. Trip length may vary by departure.
Please anticipate delays and do not plan anything for at least a week after your scheduled return. Allow yourself to enjoy this unique experience without the stress of pending commitments.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding this Experience. More FAQ's can be found on our Frequently Asked Questions page.
Weather and Environment
Will it be cold?
All of our journeys take place in the Antarctic summer (November through January) when the weather is at its best. We advise on suitable clothing so that you can enjoy your trip to the fullest.
The interior of Antarctica has a cold, dry, windy climate. Average mid-season temperatures at our base camp range from 10F to 25F (-12C to -4C ). On a sunny windless day it can feel quite warm but, when the wind blows, you will be glad of warm layers and a wind jacket. Temperatures can drop as low as -22F (-30C) in early November.
- At the South Pole temperatures rarely climb above -13F (-25C) with light winds and wind chill of -40F (-40C).
- Weather at the Emperor rookery is highly variable and influenced by coastal systems. Temperatures range from
-22F (-30C) to near 32F (0C) with sunny and overcast skies and the possibility of heavy snowstorms.
- Mount Vinson climbers and skiers heading to the South Pole should prepare for extreme temperatures -40F (-40C) and severe storms.
Will I see wildlife?
ANI offers Emperor penguin safaris on the south coast of the Weddell Sea. Emperor penguins, Weddell seals and seabirds surround you as you immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of an Emperor penguin rookery.
Our other trips are in the interior of Antarctica, an icy desert, majestic in its proportions and devoid of vegetation necessary to support wildlife. Several nematode species are the only life forms capable of surviving in this extreme environment.
Safety, Medical and Insurance
Do I need travel insurance?
All ANI guests are required to provide cover for medical evacuation, due to the high cost of evacuation from Antarctica.
We also strongly recommend that you consider Trip Cancellation and Interruption insurance, to protect you in case you need to cancel for any reason. ANI Experiences are non-refundable within 90 days of departure.
Find more information and links to purchase travel insurance on our Travel Insurance pages.
Schedule and Itinerary
Will the itinerary be exactly the same as shown on the website?
Our itineraries are meant as a guide, to give you an idea of the kinds of activities and the flow of each Experience. However no two trips are exactly the same - and that is part of the excitement and adventure of Antarctic travel. Your unique itinerary will be tailored to your interests and abilities, weather conditions and coordination with other groups on the ice. Flight schedules are flexible and you should expect delays due to the unpredictable nature of Antarctic weather, runway conditions and other logistics.
When should I arrive?
For most Experiences we ask that you arrive in Punta Arenas, Chile at least two full days (48 hours) before your scheduled departure. This allows time for clothing and equipment checks and provides a buffer in case you should miss a flight connection or have lost luggage. We will collect your luggage and load the aircraft one day prior to departure, ready for an early flight the following day. That evening you are invited to a welcome briefing at our office.
Guests on longer ski traverses should arrive at least five full days prior to departure. We will spend the additional three days getting to know the team, reviewing expedition plans, making any last minute adjustments to equipment and finally packing our sleds ready for departure.
Please note that we cannot hold Antarctic flights for guests who are delayed arriving or who have lost luggage. We recommend that you give yourself plenty of time to enjoy your trip, without the stress of tight timelines.
Trip Planning
Can I fly my drone/UAV in Antarctica?
A number of requirements apply to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/drones in Antarctica, due to concerns about privacy, interference with scientific work, use in controlled airspace, and potential impacts if lost. ANI has developed UAV Guidelines to help our guests comply. Tell us if you plan to bring a UAV and be sure to review our UAV Guidelines.
Clothing and Equipment
I'm not sure I have the correct equipment?
We provide detailed clothing and equipment lists for all of our Experiences. If you still have questions after reading our equipment lists and overview just drop us a line and we will be more than happy to help.
Booking and Payment Information
I'm ready to book. What do I do?
Please email or call our office to confirm availablity on your chosen Experience and departure. We will ask you to fill out a medical form (and resume of experience for climbing and ski expeditions). Please fill these forms out completely and honestly. If we have any questions or concerns, we will work with you to resolve them. Once these have been approved, we will ask you send a deposit of $US 5000 to confirm your reservation.
Skills and Experience
This expedition should only be considered by the most committed Antarctic adventurers. You should have skiing and cold weather camping experience, and a very high level of fitness. We ask all participants to submit a resume of their ski expedition experience to ensure that you get the most out of your expedition and so that we can make suggestions for further training.
You must undertake rigorous daily training for 3-6 months prior to the expedition start.
As a baseline you should be able to maintain a minimum of 1 hour of vigorous physical activity (e.g. running, x-country skiing, burning 500-600 kcal/hr). Your training program should be designed to gradually increase your endurance so that you can maintain 8-10 hours of vigorous activity a day, for 50 to 60 days in a row. More about Ski South Pole Training
- 30-35 days skiing 8-10 hrs per day, hauling 110-130 lb (50-60 kg) sled
- Deep snow, steep climbing, crevassed terrain
- Team members help set up camp and cook meals
- Temperatures to –25F (–30C ) with constant winds. Wind chill to –50F (–50C)

Our sins do matter because they separate us from God: "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear" (Isaiah 59:2, Isaiah 13:11; Jeremiah 5:25). The fact God hates sin means he hates being separated from us. Sin entices us to focus on worldly pleasure to the exclusion of God's blessings. To pursue sin is to turn one's back on the gifts of God (Jeremiah 29:11).

Plants surround us — no matter where we look. We long for manicured yards, juicy produce to eat, safe expanses of green turf on which to play and stately trees to provide us shade on hot summer days. Those results do not occur simply by magic and Mother Nature; we must have skilled professionals to care for our plants.
I recently attended a stop on the NC Competes for Jobs tour at Brunswick Community College with North Carolina Commerce Secretary John Skvarla.

I'm curious as to how others are affected by earworms, tunes and song fragments that get stuck in your head. I'm a musician and the experts say musicians are more susceptible to earworms than most people. But I pretty much have a tune in my head from the moment I wakeup to when I go to bed, everyday. I'm used to it, and when I get a particularly annoying one I can usually replace it by listening to one of my favorite songs. How about you?
I get them from video game music, particularly if I play something with repetitive music for a long time, right before bed.
I have had Daft Punk "Get Lucky" stuck in my head for 4 days now
I'm most susceptible to them when I run. I ran middle distance in HS and I would always have one during a race. I still run regularly before work and I get one every time. They aren't usually songs I've recently heard...don't know where they come from. I'll bet tomorrows will be that Daft Punk song though...thanks CF.

It's a nerve disorder of the brain, I've had 1 brain surgery on the left side of my head which only relieved the pain for approximately 3 - 5 years, after my 4th year the disease came back worst than before. I've also had 2 brain strokes. The pain is excrustiateing, the symptoms feels like a ice pick stabbing in both ears, feels like a pencil being stabbed into both eyes, if the wind blows onto either side of my face or water touches either side it feels like someone threw acid on me, it's very painful to try & brush my hair, my teeth feel like if I could pull everyone of them out maybe the pain would go away, I'll have a headache 24/7 for the rest of my life, my memory isn't that good anymore, I can't comprehend most things, if I look at a computer screen more than 15 min or so my eyes start streaming water so I have to get my wife to write most of my post on the internet, my neurologist told me that now I would have all these symptoms & more for the remainder of my life. Now since I have the worst case of this Terminal Disease & all the other complications the disease is now gone into my right side of my head & face, my neurologist recommended that I "not" have the surgery on the right side of my head, it wouldn't improve my quality of life & with all the complications I have I might not make it through another surgery. Now they have tried every medication that they could think of but I wouldn't let them prescribe me any "opiates", I don't want to be hooked on narcotics, I would like to keep most of my bodily functions that I have now, I'm 47 years old. The neurologist as a last ditch effort to try and manage my pain wants me to go to Huntsville Hospitals Pain Clinic in Al. I know there isn't nothing they can do for me because there's no rehab that they can do for this Terminal Disease, only thing left is to start me on Narcotics to try & manage the pain, if that's the only option I have left I would rather give up, no reason to live in a vegetative stage 24/7. I have tried Medical Marijuana, I was amazed for the first time in 5 years I sat down & eat all of my dinner, I ate almost everything in my house, my headache subsided, I didn't feel the ill symptoms that I experience every day, it was great, I ask myself "How can I legally obtain this medicine to improve my quality of life"? I know I probably could grow it & I also know that the police can arrest me, take my land, vehicles, any money I have on the premises and incarcerate me with fines & penalties stacked upon that. I hate to ask you this question but I really need the medication today not in months/years or decades, would you know of any legal avenue I could pursue to receive this medication, please I'm begging, I'm at the point of giving up & commit suicide for I can't live with this kind of pain for the rest of my life and I feel Narcotics isn't the way to go, it's affecting my family life as well as my private life, my wife worries her self sick that she's not going to have a husband much longer? I had to sign up on my SSI Disability, this is very painful & sad for me to do for I always was used to standing on my own 2 feet & providing for my wife & son. The current version of the bill is available at: http://www.ammjc.org/?attachme...
Can anyone tell me when the next Alabama's legislative session will be to introduce this bill, will it be November of this year (2011) or will we have to wait until the 2nd week of Januaury of 2012?
Write to our Governor: Robert BentlyYou'll have to go to his website to write to him, the AAMJC website has a pre-written letter that may help by sending it to him. Also write to your local Representatives in your district.
i live in alabama and im 17 years old, i have no illnesses or anything like that, that would cause me to physically need marijuana, of course i have smoked pot(who hasnt). I plan to one day be some sort of physician or Dr. and even tho yeah i may still be a kid, i beleive that usin marijuana as medicine would be amazing for this state and this country. I beleive that marijuana isnt truly something that is addictive or bad if you are a logical, thinking person with a kind heart and good soul. The only con of marijuana in my opinion is the fact that there are certain people in america that are confused and scared and have had bad childhoods and just need to be cared for and they need to know that someone out there loves them. They need to know they have a place in this world. So what i think that instead of the Government being concerned about so many people using drug and selling them and getting there minds off of how we can be better than that country over there and what law can we pass to make our citizens obey and stop commiting crimes. Why dont they think of the base of all of the problems in this country, THE PEOPLE. They arent thinking about us anymore( even tho they beleive they are, and try to make us beleive they are), they are thinking about how much power america can have. That is how our country has become its all about who can have the most everything. I dont think everyone in america is like this but it is the majority. What i beleive the goverment should do is maybe slow down the war on drugs, maybe do a test of some sort. They should try decriminalizing marijuana in a city or state that is known for a lot of marijuana sales and trafficing for a number of days and see its effects. It would never hurt to try that bc they could just make it illegal all over again if it didnt work. I think that the govt and polititions know that marijuana is a basically harmless substance. They need to focus and the american citizens, how can they improve our living conditions, how can they insure that all of america is well educated and have some form of family that will care for them and raise them the way they are supposed to be raised. And from a teenagers point of view( this is for all parents regardless your religion, race, or any other reason you beleive you and your family are unique), instead of teaching your child what not to do and trying to guide them in ways you want them to go bc you think they will be better off, why dont you try not talking about the things that arent supposed to be done, try your best to not allow your child to see something or do something that will scar that childs fragile mind. Instead of being selfish and trying to make them grow up under your rules, why dont you teach them how to love and how to think positive and how to overcome the obstacles of life as they grow up. Never hush your child, yes what they may say or do or think may be immature but why dont you try to just let them speak there minds. The reason kids think that they know how to make the right choices already when they are young are because they dont know what the right things actual are and that is how kids and teenagers learn, by speaking there minds. Listen to your children, listen to how they think. Show intrest in them and if your a normal human being then you shouldnt get mad at your child for his or her ways bc they are KIDS. All you adults where all kids once. You have all felt every emotion there is to feel. But you have to remember your kids arent your age and werent born in the same generation as you. If you are an adult now that has had a hard life that didnt really have the right guidance and didnt get as much love as all children deserve, you should know first hand what those things can do to a child. Does anyone in America even realize the true meaning of life anymore? The way i see it is that everyone in this country beleives that money and nice cars and nice clothing and all the newest technology are the reasons that we humans live. Im 17 years old and i myself know the true meaning of life i dont care if you other people dont respect my thoughts on this and overlook all of this because of my age or if you beleive you are a better person than anyone else and if you only take to heart what people around you say and belive, the true meaning of life on this earth regardless of any difference humans have is the cycle of life, having children. Everyone wants to be immortal in some sort of fashion and the only true clear way to do that is to create another human being that is your from your own bodies genetics. You can live forever through the lives of your children. If you feel that you are alone in this world why dont you gain some courage and realize that you are living because you were created from another human being that has lived, and you should think in your head that maybe if i am not happy as i am now why dont i try to do something about it instead of just laying down and giving up. Think about if the colonist back in the days of the revoloution had givin up on finding happiness and feeling great about what they were doing. Most of you people wouldnt even be here today if you are reading this. What i am trying to say is dont take your life for granted. No birth can be a mistake or an accident. If you have a child or are exspecting one regardless how it ended up being that way, you should take the time and remember that it is ok. No birth could ever be a horrible thing. I dont care what type of person you believe you are, whenever you see your own child for the first time gives a feeling that is indescribable. Whether you beleive it or not or if you just dont think about it, that feeling is called happiness. If you werent raised how you beleive you should have been then that is your oppurtunity to raise your own child how you think is the right way to be raised. It is your chance to possibly save the human race as we all know it. If you think having children is something that is just not for you then why dont you think about if your parents belived that same thing, you wouldnt be here would you? And if your life is great to you and you think you dont need kids just think about if you didnt even exist because your parents beleived that. Not having children is like having children born with a disease or a miscared child. If you want to find a reason in your life then try having children. If you still dont understand how that having children could help you if you are one of those selfish people, it will benefit you as an adult by maturing you in new ways that you dont even think are possible. Knowing that you will have someone that will always love you and think of you and seek guidance in you to find the one thing that they themselves have shown to you, HAPPINESS. Its called the pursuit of happiness and it isnt that much of a pursuit once you know the reason of life. I know that most of my "lecture" i have written may be irralevent in ways but if you actually read this ,which i hope you all do,but tell me this, while you were reading this i hope that this opened your eyes and your heart and i hope you see that if we all as human beings stop thinking that if we prohibit something and try to hide it from the eyes of this world and use propaganda to in a way control the future generations and control what the future has in store for us and stop thinking that life as we know it can be bad, and instead maybe legalize marijuana and set an age limit for its use and legalize it completely for medicinal purposes regardless of age. The "Wise words of Ronald Reagan" ,or should i say the corrupted staff of officials almost all presidents seem to have, Marijuana is a gateway drug. Well you know what maybe that is true. Maybe Marijuana is THE gateway drug. But that may not be a bad thing. What makes me say that you ask? If marijuana was legal and not classed with the drugs that can cause death and diseases and turn a human mind into something ugly, then isnt it logical to think if we stopped talking to badly about marijuana and its so called effects on a human and stopped arresting inoccent nonviolent good american people, i know through a teenagers eyes that it wouldnt interest us kids if it wasnt so publically shown as taboo. We wouldnt be curious if it is something that helps people with diseases. If it did anything it would make the future generations respect the pros and cons about marijuana and other drugs. We would all say hey why would we go do crystal meth and get high and hurt ourselves and the people around us when we can go to a store and buy it legally knowing we will be ok and no one will look down on us and we wouldnt fear the thoughts of going to prison because we are saftley at home with our guardians, no thoughts of abandonment or lonliness. I know first hand that being high from marijuana and having parents that love me and never look down on me, that it does nothing to a person but makes things more interesting, makes you think deeply which is hard for most humans to do becauses of all the problems we are taught that are in this world, it makes you want to feed yourself and eating is supposed to be healthy right?, throught the eyes of a teenager it makes me respect other people no matter what they are, i think of the future accomplishments i want to have, it enables me to think about life at a level that is hard to remember when the stresses of life come at me at all different directions, it opens my mind, it opens my heart, it helps keep me the cool calm and collective attitude that i strive to keep with me. The only reason i have ever thought negatively about marijuana is because it makes me see that people want me to be something that i am not and when those people who play follow the leader use me as something that they can make themselves feel better bc they think they are way better than me because i smoke marijuana and they dont it makes me unsocial with those people and they critisize me even more for not playing there games when im the one who actually respects everyone and thinks of everyone as equal humans. And if Marijuana is so destructive to america and it has been in this country since almost day one, it was even a law at one time that you were regulated to grow it back then, what in gods name was america thinking when we labeled marijuana as a bad thing. What was so bad that it did? the only reason it opened up doors to knew drugs is bc the so called most inteligent people in this country that have made us beleive they will do us good made it illegal and made it hard to get a natural plant that grows from the earth that we live on and are supposed to respect, they even knew this country was based on doing something different when told they are not to do it and we started to go in our basements and make things ourselves that we thought was close to what marijuana did and look how that turned out. Death after Death After Death from trying to find a substitute for something that has been i would say a human tradition for many many years bc the people who dont except people for who they took that away from us and so i think right there is the reason for all of these problems that cease to end in this country. If you read all of this i thank you.I just hope everyone in the world could read this and care and think. This is just a 17 year old kid trying to share his thoughts with the world.

I am glad that we have support from him. I have heard comments from others in office and they oppose it. If they oppose it that is OK but we the voters want to vote on it. Just because others say no the majority says yes to Medical Marijuana. This is a right that we be able to vote on this.
I have ptsd and if I didn't have it some times I think I would go crazy. Retired Gulf War Veteran
prohibition only turns our neighbors into criminals. I hope to see the bill pass.

Can someone answer the Bentley question, has he ever stated his position?
I highly doubt this will go any where. When the Baptist get wind of it they will kill it. I think Alabama is still too conservative.
I hope it does pass but not holding my breathe. Living next door to Alabama it would be nice to see it happen so close to my state. I live 10 miles from the border. I would move in a heart beat if this thing ever passed. I have 2 diseases that benefit greatly from it. Chron's and Ankylosing Spondilitis.
Good luck guys.
For those who oppose this: I think what it boils down to is that no one should stand in between a patient and their physician. Perhaps some are not aware that an actual medical doctor that you have a bona fide relationship with will have to approve you as a legal patient. Everyone will trust a doctor with their lives at some point or another in their life...to deny this right is like saying we can't trust their 12 years of schooling and residency anymore. Think about what you're implying...you are basically insulting a large group of hard working, dedicated and caring professionals who have YOUR best interest in mind.
Also, for those who say that a medical rights law will increase the supply to children: This is a fallacious argument which is intended to provoke an emotional reaction in those who are unsure what this is all about, and of how greatly important this issue actually is to so many people. There is no factual evidence to suggest that teen use has gone up in California since 1996 when the first medical rights law was passed. The notion that a sick person who is using marijuana for symptom relief will take their supply down to a school parking lot and sell it to children is so absurd that I don't even know where to begin. Please base your reasoning on common sense and not hyperbole.PS----Has Gov. Bentley ever stated his position?? This is a very important question I haven't seen discussed.
I'm proud of Rep. Brown for standing up for what's right, even when it may not be all that popular with his base.
did you seriously just type all that?
Gov. Bentley has never stated a position, for or against medical marijuana, according to my information.
It is not the baptists, it is the speaker of thehouse who is killing this bill, even though a vast majority of alabama voters want it.
Just so you know, I am a Baptist. An Independent Fundamental Baptist and I believe that medical marijuana should be legal. I have seen people suffer from phantom pain for years because doctors can only throw pills at the patients. Pills that I think are more harmful than marijuana. I plan to jump onto a train that will help get medical marijuana legal in the state of Alabama.
This isn't the first time MMJ has been in the Alabama legislature, and believe it or not, the religious right has never come out against it.
The baptist ride a horse for satan [rapture] he runs religion ,CHRIST the TRUE CHRIST gave US power over ALL our enemys. USE IT !!!!...Rod Dean
there's more of us than then we have to stand strong and help get it past
That's right Steve, he's a fence sitter. We talked to him when he was in the legislature. Never could nail him down on anything though. He's a dermatologist, I don't know if that gives us a leg up, but there is certainly science out there that shows benefit in skin cancer.
The fact that he's a doctor, may cause him to be more objective that some random politician. I hope. God, do I hope!
