HAART side effect no. 237 -- drum roll, please! -- let's give a warm welcome to...shingles. In a June American Journal of Medicine study, researchers at a Barcelona hospital found that 24 of 316 HIVers (8 percent) on a cocktail of two NRTIs and one or more protease inhibitor developed, within their first four months of pill-popping, nasty nerve-burning outbreaks of shingles, a.k.a. the herpes-zoster virus (not herpes simplex, the genital or cold-sore variety).
Why did these unlucky 24 get itchy, painful shingles? Researchers can only speculate, although they have identified what might be a specific pre-breakout signal: a dramatic boost in CD8 cells, which the shingles group had in spades, compared with those sans shingles. According to Pere Domingo, MD, a principal investigator in the study, "A sudden increase in CD8 cells may prompt a defensive response in the immune system that the individual was not able to mount." In other words, the herpes outbreak, however hellish, may be a sign that a rebooted immune system is up and doing its job once again. Hey, thanks!
John Mazzullo, MD, of New England Medical Center agrees, noting that these shingles flare-ups jibe with the occasional, though seemingly inappropriate, appearance of CMV, MAC and other infections in HIVers whose HAART-powered immune systems have started fighting back: "A profoundly immune-deficient person can't mount an appropriate immune response to viral infections like shingles, but often after starting HAART, a disease will appear -- the result of the body trying to rid itself of the pathogen."
Larger studies would be needed to discover why some HAART-HIVers get shingles -- and how to prevent them -- though it may be premature to start phone-zapping Pharma. A handful of the nation's leading HIV docs told POZ that they've seen little incidence of shingles among new HAARTers. Boston doc Cal Cohen, MD, research director at the Community Research Initiative New England, says the study's shingles-CD8 link "may be a good one, but shingles might not follow a CD8 jump often enough to justify changing therapy. One option would be to start [an antiviral like] acyclovir as a preventive."
Too bad this tip came too late for the Barcelona HIVers, who'd gladly have traded their shingles for vinyl siding.

BEIJING – Chinese courts logged only 825 acquittals among the nearly 1.16 million verdicts they issued last year, the Supreme People's Court said Monday, giving the Communist country a conviction rate of 99.93 percent.
In a report to the annual session of the Communist Party-controlled National People's Congress, Zhou Qiang, head of the Supreme People's Court, said Chinese courts convicted 1.158 million people in the 954,000 criminal cases heard.
Only 825 people were exonerated, he said in the report, in accordance with rules including "protecting human rights" and "excluding illegal evidence."
Abuses are widespread in China's legal system, where police routinely coerce confessions. Rights groups say that Chinese courts are politically controlled and their rulings are often affected by government agendas, with activists who come to trial virtually certain to be found guilty.
In a separate report to the NPC, Cao Jianming, head of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, said prosecutors had intervened 72,370 times over "illegal investigation methods including excessive use of coercive measures, obtaining evidence via illegal means and obtaining confessions through torture."
The number of times officials stepped in was climed 27.3 percent year-on-year, he added.
Wang Cailiang, director of Beijing Cailiang Law Firm, said that China's courts have refused to hear most land expropriation cases lodged by citizens against the government, and that not a single public welfare lawsuit, such as over pollution, had been accepted.
"The year 2013 marked the darkest year in the history of China's rule of law," he said.
"President Xi Jinping's call for the country to be ruled by law had no one to put it into practice," he said.
The Supreme Court itself pointed out flaws in the legal system.
"The rulings in some cases were not fair . . . which harmed the interests of the litigants and undermined the credibility of the law," Zhou said in the report.

Bloodroot Cultivation
PROJECT LEADER(S): Jeanine M. Davis
LOCATION: Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station, Fletcher and Mountain Research Station, Waynesville.
Currently there are at least 25 bloodroot growers
in western
INTRODUCTION: Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is a native medicinal plant
that grows in eastern hardwood forests. It is wild harvested for use in
production of several new products. To
help conserve native populations and provide a new economic opportunity for
forest land owners, research on a commercial cultivation system is being
developed. Studies are being conducted at several wooded locations in western
This study was established in the fall of 2001 to determine what part of the rhizome can be used for propagation and how long it must be grown to reach an economically feasible size for harvest. The experiment is duplicated in the woods and under a polypropylene shade cloth structure. Propagule treatments were either small whole rhizomes, rhizome pieces with buds, or rhizome pieces without any obvious buds. The plots will be harvested after 2, 4, and 6 years of growth.
Companion Planting:
In this study, established in the fall of 2002, we are examining the influence of companion plants on growth and yield of bloodroot. Bloodroot is being grown in forest beds either alone, with mayapple, or with goldenseal. This study will be harvested after 1, 3, and 5 years of growth.
Tillage Systems:
In this study, established in the fall of 2002, the response of bloodroot growth and yield to various tillage systems is being examined. Bloodroot was planted in two locations in the woods in raised beds, strip-tilled plots, or no-till plots. These plots will be dug after 1, 3, and 5 years of growth.
The first harvest, after two years of growth, took place in fall of 2003. Rhizome/root growth was much greater under artificial shade than in a natural wooded setting; 4 to 30 times greater, depending on the treatment. In both fields, the absence of a bud on the propagule slowed rhizome/root growth considerably. The rhizomes were not ready for commercial harvest after two years.
In 2004, under the artificial shade structure, 67% of the plots had 90% or more emergence. These were evenly distributed among the three treatments. In the woods, survival was much less. Only 13% of the plots had at least 90% survival and 25% of the plots had no plants growing at all. There were no differences among treatments.
Companion Planting:
The first harvest took place in fall of 2003. All treatments exhibited a reduction in rhizome/root weight after just one year of growth. The greatest decrease was observed in the bloodroot with black cohosh treatment. The smallest decrease occurred in the bloodroot alone treatment.
In 2004, there was no root harvest so all data were collected on growth of above ground plant parts. One hundred percent emergence occurred only in the plots where bloodroot was grown with black cohosh, goldenseal, or mayapple. Five of the eight bloodroot alone plots had no plant emergence at all.
Tillage Systems:
The first harvest was in 2003. After one year of growth there were no differences observed in growth or root yield.
In 2004, at Waynesville, the highest number of plots with 90% emergence or more were strip-tilled. The two plots with no bloodroot emergence were both bedded plots. In contrast, at Fletcher, the bedded plots were the ones that most frequently had emergence of 90% or more, but there were 11 plots with no bloodroot emergence and they were evenly split among the three treatments.
These studies will not be completed for several more years. However, at this time we are suggesting that growers consider growing bloodroot with a companion plant, such as black cohosh; consider growing in raised beds or a strip-till system; and consider growing under artificial shade.

Efficient single-bit ternary digital filtering using sigma-delta modulator
Thompson, Adam C., O'Shea, Peter J., Hussain, Zahir M., & Steele, Brenton R. (2004) Efficient single-bit ternary digital filtering using sigma-delta modulator. IEEE Signal Processing Letters, 11(2 (Part 2)), pp. 164-166.
Efficient filtering of sigma-delta bit-streams using a finite-impulse response (FIR)-like digital filter is presented. The filter combines a lowpass sigma-delta modulator system and a ternary FIR filter. Unlike conventional FIR filters, the combination of the two components allows a bit stream to be filtered, with the output being retained in single-bit format.

Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
Hi All. been searching on here and am not finding a clear answer to my options for an Aux cable addition to my REF Boston Acoustics Radio. I don't have rear DVD. Local Car Audio place tried a PAC adapter but had issues getting the radio to recognize it. When selecting AUX on the radio, it would briefly play but then the radio would revert back to FM Tuner. Tried over and over with the same result. Any tips? Which PAC Adapter is everyone using with this REF/Boston Acoustics Radio?
Re: Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
the way that Matt, I and some other members have done is use the aux cable directly from the ipac adapter into the headphone jack of the ipod ... u wont be able to use the ipod from the REF radio but will have to do it manually from the ipod ... plus u dont overcharge ur electronics and burn them ...
Matt has a more detailed way of doing ... I will lurk around to find his post
Re: Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
here u go found the link
Re: Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
answer to ur question if u've already tried that method and still going back to FM tuner it's the harness that's bad ...
Re: Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
I actually prefer Aux method for the reasons you mentioned. So you think the PAC harness is bad? Which PAC adapter part # are you using? I see you have an 06.
Re: Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
I tried the AAI-CHY Pac Adapter. Looks like it is the one for my REF/Boston Acoustics radio. Like I mentioned earlier, sound would play briefly when I select AUX on the radio but then it would switch right back to FM Tuner
Re: Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
I have an 06 but my REC nav unit is from an 07 ... I have CHY 1.4.7 i believe if i'm not mistaken ...
There are two little black stubs that connect to the radio come with the ipac right ???
I tried one and sme thing happened I tried the other and it worked like a charm ... not sure if ur following me on it but lemme try to find some pix
Re: Aux/Ipod Integration For '05 WK
I had issues with this unit myself. Eventually it just stopped working. i am saving for the mopar integration.

text: I can't believe I didn't realize the multiple Tony Award-winning broadway satire The Book of Mormon had already hit Los Angeles. Well, just yesterday anyway, when they had the premiere, and dozens of high-profile hotties as far as the eye can see attended to laugh at the religion-based musical. Christina Hendricks was one of the more notable appearances, as she showed up alongside SUPER TROOPERS stoner Geoffrey Arend, who couldn't keep his eyes off her rack. Some of the other hotties in attendance were Emmanuelle Chriqui, who seemed to be buddy buddy with Malin Akerman. Then there's the asstastic Extra host Maria Menous in yellow and black. She could've gone to the event in something more shapely, but I still dig it. Heather Graham also appeared, looking pretty damn hot, and ready to mingle. Next we have Parker Posey, who kicked ass in her role on Louie this summer, as the free-spirited date with issues. And finally, Ali Larter brought her beautiful self in a leathery, red vest and black skirt. This doesn't even cover it, though. I guess it's true what they say, gorgeous women love watching broadway, even it's sort of a joke.

2014 Overland good deal???
Looking to pick up a 14 Overland. I searched the sticky above on pricing but didn't really find too much.
14 Granite on black Overland 4x4 V6 no options: 42,000 + TTL
Can I do better or good deal? TIA.
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
That is 11% below MSRP (6% below invoice) ... what do you think?
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
If that's 6% below invoice I would jump all over that as long as it's the truck/model you want.
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
Shop..Just bought an '14 Overland TRUE BLUE 5.7 with every option for my son..48,500 out the door (8.25% tax lic reg etc etc etc and the 5 year WHEEL package rim and tire protection):thumbsup: U have to be the Happy One with what you finally pay...every deal will be different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
If it is 6% under, then it is a great deal. Just make sure the numbers before you sign on the line.
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
I have a question about pricing as I work through all the information on this AWESOME site! I see there's a group buy for the DC Metro Area that offers 7% off invoice. I'm in the Baltimore area and there's a dealer in Owings Mills that has a 2014 Overland with an MSRP (window sticker) of $52,375. Then, they advertise an internet price of $46,053 for a discount of $6,322. Using the invoice pricing from the sticky pricing thread, I'm calculating that they're advertising 7% below invoice. I would assume that this is where I would start negotiating and try to get it for even less, or, if there's no wiggle room on this advertised price, I'd really press to get more for my trade-in.
Am I missing something here or does this seem like an incredible deal from what others are posting about pricing? Thoughts on this are appreciated.
FWIW, I've only been driving my current vehicle for about 10 months, so I need another year to build up some equity to trade. Hopefully, by that time, the Ecodiesels will be readily available!
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
Sounds like its a good deal....but not great. I'll keep shopping/negotiating. Thanks.
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
That internet price ,which probably is incentive's your not going to meet....military... a leased VW at your address, your presently leasing a dodge....lol check it out.... then go to nader at koons....
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
Re: 2014 Overland good deal???
Thanks guys. This was not internet price. Face to face in dealership with sales manager.

Google pledges fight over government access to users' email
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Google will lobby Washington in 2013 to make it harder for law enforcement authorities to gain access to emails and other digital messages.
In a blog post on Monday, linked to Data Privacy Day, Google's chief legal officer, David Drummond, said the tech giant, in coalition with many other powerful tech companies, will try to convince Congress to update a 1986 privacy protection law.
He cited data showing that government requests for Google's user data increased more than 70 percent since 2009.
In 2012, Google said, it received 16,407 requests for user data affecting 31,072 users or accounts, more than half of them accompanied by a subpoena.
"We're a law-abiding company, and we don't want our services to be used in harmful ways. But it's just as important that laws protect you against overly broad requests for your personal information," Drummond said in the post.
The U.S. Electronic Communications Privacy Act, passed in the early days of the Internet, does not require government investigators to have a search warrant when requesting access to old emails and messages that are stored online, providing less protection for them than, say, letters stored in a desk drawer or even messages saved on a computer's hard drive.
The current system also makes complex distinctions, many disputed in courts, between emails saved as drafts online, in transit, unopened or opened. Some of them are to be released with subpoenas, which have a lower threshold than search warrants as they often do not involve a judge.
A warrant is generally approved by a judge if investigators have "probable cause" to believe that their search is likely to turn up information related to a crime.
Google, Microsoft Corp, Yahoo and popular social media site Twitter - among others - have resisted turning over customer data. Continued...

So I'm loading my Mossberg in my bedroom that faces the street with the new ammo I bought from the gun-store when I hear the low rumbling of a tuned muffler. There is a red Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins <man grunt> driving sloooooowly by my house. I can see out through the blinds, but I know whoever it is can't see in. I sheep-stare for a minute and then think, "Man, did they pick the wrong time to mistake me for a victim". I keep my shotgun at the low-ready and observe. The pull away from my house, into the street, and commence backing up to my ATV trailer I have in my driveway. It is then that I recognize the truck as my friend's brothers. I put the shotgun back in its spot and walk outside. It is my friend's brother, who is gun-friendly, so I say, "Man-o-man you're takin your chances, I was in there loading up the shotgun". He laughs and then reveals to me that his sister was supposed to have called me to tell me that he's coming over. I help with the trailer, and off he goes.
So here's the scenario. You're loading your 20g shotgun in your bedroom, staggering #6 shot with rifled slugs when you see a red truck creep by your house, it stops, pulls into the street and backs up to your trailer, three male adults get out, and walk over to your trailer parked in your driveway, one of the males takes out a pair of bolt cutters and cuts off the lock on your trailer so he is free to hook up to it as he pleases. All of the males are of average build with no weapons obvious to you besides the bolt cutters. You have your pistol in your Smart Carry holster with a spare mag (mine was my Sig 226 .357SIG), a folding knife (Kershaw Blur) and your cell phone in your pocket. There are no other weapons accessible to you except for a Ruger 10/22 with 30 rounds of ammo loaded in mags upstairs.
Let me know what you would do, and I will tell you what I would do.

And i might take a 3.6 over my 3.2 (for the VVT, extra hp, and wider range of mods) but i just can't complain about the 3.2 at all from my experience. It's been fantastic for me. Good power, great sound, peppy and (so far) quite reliable. I'd take it over a 2.8 for sure.
If anything is to be complained about the 03 it's the stupid plastic trunk bezel and pewter grey dash color that makes finding a nav unit to match the color incredibly difficult.

Legalization of Marijuana
US Policy on Drugs was driven by the Drug War, the U.S. prison population is six to ten times as high as most Western European nations. The United States is a close second only to Russia in its rate of incarceration per 100,000 people. In 2010, more than 746,000 people were arrested in the USA for marijuana-related offenses alone.
To find out more on the legalization of medical marijuana please visit Medical Marijuana Blog.
On the 6th of November 2012 marijuana was legalized for recreational use in Colorado and Washington state. People over the age of 21 can possess up to an ounce of marijuana for recreational use. At least these people can now carry weed without worrying about the police arresting them.
31st of May 2013 former Mexican president Vincente Fox states that he wants marijuana to be legalized in Mexico and the USA.
10th December 2013 Uruguay becomes the first country to legalize growing, selling and smoking marijuana. However tourists will not be able to legally purchase cannabis.
1st January 2014 Colorado became the world's first state licensed marijuana industry which started to sell weed to residents and non residents. In the Netherlands you have been allowed to purchase and smoke cannabis since 1976. Ironically the Dutch have never actually legalized marijuana.
19th January 2014 Another significant milestone for the legalization of marijuana. President Obama says that marijuana is less damaging than alcohol in terms of the impact on the individual consumer.
26th February 2014 A recent poll of residents in Texas show that 49% of Texans support legalization of marijuana and 77% support the legalization of medical marijuana. This is a great sign that the majority of people in the USA think marijuana should be legalized. Texas can be considered one of the most conservative states in the USA.
4th November 2014 Oregon becomes the 3rd state to legalize recreational marijuana. Washington, DC also legalizes marijuana.
4th November 2014 Alaska becomes the 4th state to legalize recreational marijuana. Alaskans voted 53-47% to end decades of harmful and ineffective marijuana prohibition, and replace it with a system in which marijuana is taxed and regulated like alcohol.
16th January 2015 These are the 8 states that are most likely to legalize cannabis next.
10th March 2015 Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Democrats Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Cory Booker of New Jersey push through a bill to remove federal prohibitions on medical marijuana in the 23 legalized medical marijuana states.
20th March 2015 Three senators push to rewrite federal drug laws in relation to marijuana. They are pushing to at least decriminalize marijuana for medical use.
25th March 2015 Five states that are looking to legalize marijuana. The states are Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont.
11th September 2015 Florida could legalize recreational and medical marijuana in 2016.
16th September 2015 There is growing support to legalize marijuana globally. Italy, Denmark and the United Kingdom are showing strong support to legalize cannabis.
1st May 2017 Come July 2018. Canada is to fully legalize marijuana for both medical and recreational use thanks to Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.
For nearly two decades, since 1996 we have been looking for a brilliant Marijuana Grow Guide that we can refer to our legalization of marijuana visitors. It rocks!!
Over the last 17 years we have probably bought every grow guide available online and the 'best books' from Amazon. Problem is they are all old.
- Indoor growing changes at a rapid rate. You need to know about the latest LED grow lights and HPS lighting, latest nutrients and hydroponic advancements.
- Many of the visitors to this site request information about growing marijuana outdoors so we have sourced a reputable supplier of autoflowering seeds.
I just finished reading this 748 page marijuana grow guide. Everything is perfectly up to date and so easy to understand. This is a work of art, a work of love by the author Ryan Riley. Truly exceptional. Here, we offer the best grow guide on the planet…
The main features of this package:
- 748 pages of the most up-to-date grow information encompassing virtually everything you will ever need to know for how to grow your own mind blowing top calibre medical grade marijuana.
- It combines over 20+ years of growing medicinal marijuana (the highest standard of bud quality known today). Sticky and juicy.
- Breathtakingly beautiful high quality HD images, easy to understand plus essential charts, tables, and graphs that makes every step of growing and maintaining your marijuana plants so fun.
- Jam-packed, crystal clear information that even 80 year old grandmas could grow their own killer herb.
- Personally I would buy this book just for the bonus books, a couple I loved were 'The Stoners Cookbook' 'The Stealth Guide' 'Ganja Etiquette' and '114 Homemade Smoking Devices Plans'.
Check out this amazing deal. We promise you from our years experience you will not find better! Click here.
The US war on drugs places great emphasis on arresting people for smoking marijuana. Since 1990, approximately 17 million Americans have been arrested on marijuana charges, a greater number than the entire populations of Alaska, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming combined. In 2010, state and local law enforcement arrested 746,000 people for marijuana violations. This is an increase of 800 percent since 1980 and the highest per capita in the world.
As has been the case throughout the 1990s, 2000's and continues that the overwhelming majority of those charged with marijuana violations were for simple possession, around 88%. The remaining 12% were for "sale/manufacture", an FBI category which includes marijuana grown for personal use or purely medical purposes. These new FBI statistics indicate that one marijuana smoker is arrested every 45 seconds in America. Taken together, the total number of marijuana arrests for 2010 far exceeded the combined number of arrests for violent crimes, including murder, manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
Like most Americans, people who smoke marijuana also pay taxes, love and support their families, and work hard to make a better life for their children. Suddenly they are arrested, jailed and treated like criminals solely because of their recreational drug of choice. State agencies frequently step in and declare children of marijuana smokers to be "in danger", and many children are placed into foster homes as a result. This causes enormous pain, suffering and financial hardship for millions of American families. It also engenders distrust and disrespect for the law and for the criminal justice system overall.
Responsible marijuana smokers present no threat or danger to America or its children, and there is no reason to treat them as criminals, or to take their children away. As a society we need to find ways to discourage personal conduct of all kinds that is abusive or harmful to others. Responsible marijuana smokers are not the problem and it is time to stop arresting them.
Once all the facts are known, it becomes clear that America's marijuana laws need reform. This issue must be openly debated using only the facts. Groundless claims, meaningless statistics, and exaggerated scare stories that have been peddled by politicians and prohibitionists for the last 60 years must be rejected.

Like any substance, marijuana can be abused. The most common problem attributed to marijuana is frequent overuse, which can induce lethargic behavior, but does not cause serious health problems. Marijuana can cause short-term memory loss, but only while under the influence. Marijuana does not impair long-term memory. Marijuana does not lead to harder drugs.
Marijuana does not cause brain damage, genetic damage, or damage the immune system. Unlike alcohol, marijuana does not kill brain cells or induce violent behavior Continuous long-term smoking of marijuana can cause bronchitis, but the chance of contracting bronchitis from casual marijuana smoking is minuscule. Respiratory health hazards can be totally eliminated by consuming marijuana via non-smoking methods, i.e., ingesting marijuana via baked foods, tincture, or vaporizer.
A 1997 UCLA School of Medicine study (Volume 155 of the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine) conducted on 243 marijuana smokers over an 8-year period reported the following: "Findings from the long-term study of heavy, habitual marijuana smokers argue against the concept that continuing heavy use of marijuana is a significant risk factor for the development of chronic lung disease."
Neither the continuing nor the intermittent marijuana smokers exhibited any significantly different rates of decline in lung function as compared with those individuals who never smoked marijuana." The study concluded: "No differences were noted between even quite heavy marijuana smoking and non-smoking of marijuana."
Marijuana does not cause serious health problems like those caused by tobacco or alcohol (e.g., strong addiction, cancer, heart problems, birth defects, emphysema, liver damage, etc.). Death from a marijuana overdose is impossible. In all of world history, there has never been a single human death attributed to a health problem caused by marijuana. Legalize marijuana and life would be better for most people.

Rob McConnell I am doing a Persuasive speech for my oral communications class on the legalization of marijuana and was wondering if I may use what you have said in my speech? please get ahold of me asap. thank you have a great day.
2015 has been a great year for marijuana advocates. So far, 2016 has also been good. I hope more states will open their minds up on the benefits of this drug. Marijuana doesn't kill. But depriving the patients with the proper medicine they deserve kills. Stop being selfish and just legalize marijuana already!
Hi to all! Bake On:) My name is Scott & I've been smoking my friend since I'm 8 years old. I'm 52 years old. I was a commercial roofer until my second fall from a roof I was doing in southern California. No, I was not high at the time. I landed on my feet, which compressed my disc of the cervical spine & my disc in my back. The doctors over the next 12 years tried every drug available. So, during these years I smoked very little. I was so tired of feeling crappie, from taking oxi,perkiset, morphine and the list is endless. I finally I said no more,I told my Doctor my plan. He couldn't condone my disesion, but gave me the thumbs up. I started smoking three times a day & taking one dose of Advil. I've been doing this for 3to 4 years & helps better then any other medication that had been prescribed to me. Marijuana is a weed that's been here for as long as the cockroach. See look cockroach, roach that you smoke contains a constrated the level:) Of course I may be wrong or I may be right. Please don't credisiz it legalize it:)YaBob?BAKEON & Peaceout!
I just finished reading the book "Anunnaki vs. the Cosmic Conscious Collective." This book has a very interesting take on why marijuana is illegal, and it's not the old burnt out saga about DuPont and Hearst for personal fortunes. Marijuana stimulates the precursor chemicals in the pineal gland of the brain to manufacture the chemical melatonin. I looked this up, and one researcher discovered that marijuana increases the melatonin production by 4,000 times. The book points out that the pineal gland is the third eye, the inner eye, and all-seeing eye. Your amount of brainpower has everything to do with the pineal gland. In fact, melatonin communicates information about light to different parts of our body. The author, Nye Hale, points out that the powers to be are intentionally poisoning our pineal glands into inertia, so humans will not achieve their true potential over the 10% myth of our brain use. The book explains this all in-depth and does a much better job than I can. Read the book because it really is an eye opener about the subjugation of humans through chemical and societal controls. Maybe the book is more fact than fiction. You can find the book on Amazon. Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Anunnaki-vs-Cosmic-Conscious-Collective-ebook/dp/B00WGZ3VBC Perhaps this will help in ameliorating the campaign of legalization with some very useful knowledge. I predict if this book takes off, it will definitely change the 2016 elections . . . or even sooner. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
Marijuana is a plant that provides relief from many medical problems. The drug companies don't want people to get better or they would be out of work. It's time the 99% stood up & demanded their Constitutional Right to Life, Liberty & the Pusuit of Happiness.
Doctor's have an oath to Harm None, but people are dying because of the drugs they're perscribed when there is a Natural Cure.
Marijuana should heve Never been made illegal.
The time has come for legalization! The obvious medical benefits, potential tax revenue, and wasted tax money on investigating, arresting, and incarcerating our citizens makes legalization a win-win!
We are not criminals. Full legalization Now. Please sign and pass around. Time is running out.

Kim Dotcom to remain on bail in New Zealand
Megaupload boss Kim Dotcom won a legal battle to remain free on bail in New Zealand yesterday but must reportedly wait to find out if funds will be released to pay for luxuries such as a butler and nannies.
Dotcom was freed on bail last week but prosecutors returned to court seeking to put him back behind bars, arguing there was a risk he would flee the country to escape US allegations he masterminded an online piracy empire.
The High Court in Auckland dismissed prosecution fears that Dotcom had hidden funds he could use to go on the run, saying he would remain on bail under strict conditions while US authorities seek his extradition.
A jubilant Dotcom, 38, clad in his customary black outfit, left the court accompanied by his heavily pregnant Filipina wife Mona.
In a separate hearing in the same courthouse, Dotcom's lawyers made an application to release some of the funds seized when New Zealand police, cooperating with a major US probe, raided his mansion on January 20.
Prosecutors said the German national, who US authorities allege earned $42 million (€26.4 million) from his file-sharing websites in 2010 alone, was asking for NZ$220,000 (€137,659) a month to fund his lifestyle, TVNZ reported.
The monthly costs racked up by the portly millionaire included wages for security guards, a butler, nannies for his children and rent on his sprawling NZ$30 million (€18.86 million) mansion on Auckland's outskirts, it reported.
He was also said to need NZ$5,000 (€3,143 million) for a landline to coordinate his defence after being banned from using the internet while on bail, and "living expenses" totalling almost NZ$29,000. Prosecutor Anne Toohey said the request for NZ$220,000 (€138,330) was unreasonable, given the average New Zealand family survived on about NZ$6,000 (€3,772) a month.
The court reportedly released a one-off amount of just over NZ$100,000 (€62,877) to cover the medical and living expenses faced by Dotcom's wife, as well as some creditor payments, ordering both sides to come back after negotiating a suitable monthly allowance.
Dotcom, who legally changed his name from Kim Schmitz, has denied any wrongdoing. It was the fourth bail hearing he has faced since the raid on his mansion.
At the first two, prosecutors successfully argued he was a serious flight risk, with the wealth and connections to slip out of the country if he wished. But he was given bail in a surprise move last week, when a court accepted that it was in his interests to fight the case and seek to retain his assets.
The US Justice Department and FBI allege Megaupload and related sites netted more than $175 million (€110 million) in criminal proceeds and cost copyright owners over $500 million (€314 million) by offering pirated copies of movies, TV shows and other content.
Megaupload was founded in 2005 but shut down last month when its assets were frozen as part of the US probe. A US application for Dotcom's extradition is expected to be heard on August 20. US authorities have said they will seek the maximum penalty of 20 years in jail if he is brought before an American court.

New Sassuolo signing is suited to the club states agent
Simone Zaza's agent has stated that the player's move to Sassuolo was the right decision after his move to the club was completed last week.
Juventus recently bought the 22-year-old striker from Sampdoria for €3.5 million, but then sold him to the newly promoted Sassuolo for €2.5m in a co-ownership deal.
The player's agent, Christian Maifredi, spoke to Sky Sport Italia about the reasons behind the youngster's transfer and praised him for his potential.
"With Simone we have always made choices that would suit him," said the agent.
"We made a decision that would mean he plays as much football as possible.
"He has a wonderful character – he's calm and works really hard.
"I have between 20 and 25 players, but he is the jewel in the crown."
Simone Zaza spent the 2012-13 campaign on loan at Ascoli, where he impressed many by scoring 18 goals in his 35 Serie B appearances for the club.
However, his goals weren't enough to save the Picchio from relegation as the team finished the season in twentieth place.

TCU Tips Off Season With Dinner at DMC
Oct. 27, 2011
FORT WORTH--The TCU men's basketball team held its second annual Dinner at the DMC event Thursday evening, giving Horned Frog fans their first chance of the season to see the squad in action.
The Frogs, entering their fourth season under head coach Jim Christian, entertained the 100-plus people in attendance with activities both on and off the court. Following a catered meal and brief introduction of the players and staff by Christian, the Frogs went through several practice drills, held a brief scrimmage and even showed off their singing, dancing and acting talents via the DMC video board.
The highlight of the evening came at the end of the night, as junior forward Garlon Green prevailed in a slam dunk contest that also featured senior guard J.R. Cadot, junior forward Connell Crossland, sophomore guard Jarvis Ray and freshman guard Kyan Anderson. Green was chosen as the winner over Ray in the contest's final round by a panel of judges after using the passing skills of senior teammate Hank Thorns, one of the nation's top point guards, to help with his final slam.
For sights from Thursday's event, check out the photo gallery link at the top of this page.
The Frogs hit the court for a home exhibition game against Cameron University Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. before officially opening the regular season Nov. 11 at the DMC against Florida Gulf Coast at 7 p.m. Admission for the exhibition is free, while tickets to all regular-season contests are available for purchase through the TCU Athletics Ticket Office by calling (817) 257-FROG or by visiting GoFrogs.com

How to install Expose Gallery on Joomla?
The installation of the Expose Gallery is quite simple and straight-forward.First you have to download the package from the Joomlacode.org web page.
Then you should create a new folder within your Joomla directory and upload the Expose package there.
For the purpose of this tutorial, we will call the folder "expose". Once you have uploaded the file there, you should extract it.
Now you should log in to your Joomla administration area and go to Extensions > Install/Uninstall.
Under "Install from Directory", in the field next to "Install Directory:" enter the full path to the folder where the Expose archive has been extracted, e.g. /home/user/public_html/joomla/expose.
Then click the Install button to install the component. If you have followed the steps correctly, the component will be installed successfully:
The last step is to change the permissions of all files in the /home/user/public_html/joomla/components/com_expose to 755.
This is needed because by default the component is installed with incorrect permissions and you won't be able to log in to manage your albums unless you change the permissions to 755.

How sweet is that? 😀
Matt Damon is convinced he was destined to meet and marry his wife Luciana – because there were so many things that should have prevented the chance encounter in a Miami, Florida bar.
The movie star turned down an action movie to star in madcap Farrelly Brothers comedy Stuck on You on his mother's advice – and then the shoot location was changed from Hawaii to Florida.
But that was only the start of the weird combination of incidents that brought Damon and his future wife together.
The actor tells U.S. TV host Ellen DeGeneres, "I had never really hung out in Miami and one night in the middle of the shoot, the crew, a couple guys, said, 'We're going to get a beer somewhere.' I said, 'I'm not really into it.' They said, 'Come on,' and kind of dragged me along.
"We ended up at a bar where my wife was the bartender. I literally saw her across a crowded room… and eight years and four kids later, that's my life.
"I don't know how else our paths would have crossed if that didn't happen… The moral is that when you're tired, suck it up and go to the bar because you might meet your wife."
A sure way to get a laugh out of "Adjustment Bureau" star Matt Damon these days is to mention that oddly, two directors whose only link in this world is having both worked with Damon more than once have both announced seemingly premature "retirements" from movie making.
The quixotic and generally quite successful Steven Soderbergh seems to mean it. With Kevin Smith, who has had a lot of trouble getting his latest movie made and into theaters, it's hard to tell. But both have announced a one-or-two-more movies and done career path.
So is working with Damon and the memory of Matt what drove both over the edge, and will Matt be in either filmmaker's "final" film?
"I hope to be in both of their last movies," Damon says. "But I hope neither one of them is making his last movie NOW. I hope not. I hope not. We need good directors.
"I've talked at length with Steven about it. He is going away for a while, I think. He genuinely wants to paint. And he feels if he really dedicates himself he can be really good. He's not yet 50. He will put in the hours. He has a work ethic like nobody I've ever seen. He feels if he puts a hard decade of work in, he could really be doing something.
"But I see it as a waste of this incredible depth of knowledge of filmmaking. But his thing is 'form. I'm only interested in what I can do with form. I've made almost every movie I want to,' he says. 'And if I see another over-the-shoulder shot, I'm going to kill myself.'
"I said to him, right after I did 'Invictus,' 'Steven, I just finished a movie with a guy in his 70s who still charges out of bed every morning because he can't wait to get to the set. He has a blast and is really loving it and he's been doing it a lot longer than either of us.' And without a blink, Steven says 'But Clint's a storyteller. A great storyteller. I'm not interested in stories. I'm interested in form.'
"I don't know what to say to that. It's his life to do with what he wants. So in the meantime, I'd doing as many movies with him as I can. I've definitely got him on the hook for one more. Hopefully, on the set of 'Liberace' I can convince him to do another one.
"This 'Liberace' script is just wonderful. Michael's going to be just phenomenal in that part. We're shooting that in 2012. I just did 'Contagion' with Steven last December.
"He has the most varied body of work of anybody I can think of. He's at this point where we could shoot during the day, and him being the cinematographer and the director, we'd go home, have an hour or two off, and then meet him back at the hotel bar in Chicago. They'd have a back room where he'd sit, have some pretzels and a drink and he'd take a look at the day's work. Scott Burns, the writer, Greg Jacobs, his first-AD, and me, we'd show up, get a drink and hang out with him. Steven would have his headphones on, sitting at his laptop. And in about 20 minutes he'd cut together the day's work. 'OK,' he'd say, pull his headphones off and turn the computer around and show us, right there, what we'd shot that day and how it would look on the big screen when the movie comes out. THAT FAST. He's a FREAK.
"When we did 'Ocean's Twelve,' we did a wrap party at a bowling alley. I went up to him and said, 'Hey Steven, thanks. Great time working with you. Thanks. How do you think the movie's going to be?' And he say, 'You wanna SEE it?' He'd finished cutting it and had it on a laptop. Right there, he shows me the movie!' (LAUGHS)
"He's a phenomenal director, a prodigious talent with a non-stop brilliant mind. He's been pushing himself since the very beginning. Sometimes failing, but always pushing."
Damon is "a little miffed, frankly" at the "Oscar snub" his pal and sometime collaborator Ben Affleck seems to have gotten over "The Town."
"Don't get me started, but he did such a great job writing and directing that, and acting in it. At least some acknowledgement for the screenplay. And there are ten best picture nominees, It wasn't one of the ten best? I think so. Anyway, he's hot as a firecracker right now. I'm glad to see it."
I'm interviewing The Farrelly Brothers on Friday about "Hall Pass," their new comedy. Damon and Greg Kinnear played conjoined twins in their comedy, "Stuck on You" some years back. Damon has a vivid recollection of working with those guys, too.
"My favorite direction I've ever receieved was from Peter Farrelly. Greg and I were wearing the suit, stuck together. We do a take and it just doesn't work. I'd flubbed a line, Greg missed one of his cues and there was this long pause after we hear "Cut" over the walkie-talkies. They were sitting way over in Video Village, where the monitors were. Must have been a quarter of a mile away.
"And Greg goes, 'Well that stunk. Let's just go right away' We were hoping they'd keep the cameras rolling and we'd take another shot at the scene.
"But we see Peter walking all the way over to the set. Long walk. Greg says, 'Oh nooo. He's coming ALL the way over just to give us a note. Not good.'
"Peter's chewing gum. And he finally gets over to us, looks at me, looks down at his feet, takes a long pause, 'Um, yeah, hmmmm.' Looks back up at me and finally just says — 'Suck less!'"
Damon laughs.
"Greg and I go 'Yeah, THANKS Peter. We got it.' He turns around and walks all the way back to the monitors."
Matt Damon had to double check he hadn't hurt his co-star Hailee Steinfeld every time they filmed a fight scene in True Grit.
In one controversial scene, 14-year-old Hailee's character Mattie is slapped by Matt's character LaBeouf.
Hailee said: "I thought it was fun, and also funny. After every take, Matt would ask if I'm OK and that I wasn't hurt."
The actress added that working with Matt, Jeff Bridges and directors the Coen brothers was a good laugh.
She said of the directors: "They're really big kids…They are amazing. You know when they like something – they just giggle."
And Jeff revealed he and Hailee played Pass The Pigs in between takes.
"Her pig was Bo Bacon, and mine was the Pig Man," he said.
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are both taking over the covers of Men's Health and Women's Health together. The Adjustment Bureau co-stars not only talk about health with the magazines, but also talk chemistry!
Matt and Emily must have become very close on the set of their new film! They both joined each other on the cover of Men and Women's Health March 2011 issues!
"I met Matt and he was lovely and very funny, and instantly, I thought, 'Oh, we could be like teenage boys together," she explains. "Just be weird and stupid and silly.'"
And what did Matt think about working with Emily?
"There are a lot of great actresses her age right now," he says, "But Emily is just…unbelievable."
And their chemistry sold director George Nolfi to casting Emily!
"It's an ineffable thing, he said. "She had incredible chemistry with Matt," he says.
Matt Damon would "never sell" out a director.
The actor-and-screenwriter says once he has agreed to appear in a movie or has hired a filmmaker for the project he could never get rid of them, even if he didn't think it was working out, because he'd already committed to the project.
He told Men's Health magazine: "My movies being really good or watchable always depends on everybody being really good, not just me. I'm particularly sensitive about making sure we secure the best possible people in each role because I am not somebody who can overcome if we don't.
"And then, for me, once I make that commitment, I never will sell the director out on that project. You cannot change horses midrace. Even if your horse is losing, you ride the horse as hard and as fast as you can. If there was a mistake made, it was made in your initial decision to work with that person."
Matt – who is currently starring in thriller 'The Adjustment Bureau' alongside Emily Blunt – also revealed he and writing partner Ben Affleck never take offence when their ideas are criticised by the other person.
He said: "When one of us comes up with an absolutely f**king horrible idea, which happens all the time, the other person, without batting an eyelash, says 'That's a terrible idea.' And neither of us has our feelings hurt, and we just kind of move on."
The 'True Grit' star talks about working with the Coen brothers on their new western and his "windbag" character, Texas Ranger LaBoeuf.
Had you wanted to work with Joel and Ethan Coen for sometime?
Matt Damon: Yeah, forever. I first met Joel in 1994 when I did a cable TV movie ['The Good Old Boys'] with his wife Fran [Frances McDormand] down in West Texas. So I had met Joel in West Texas 16 years ago and it took them that long to offer me a job! [laughs]. But I was dying to work with them and any actor you talk to would say the same thing. If you ask for a shortlist of directors, they would be right there.
Was it fun building your character, LaBoeuf?
MD: He's a great character and it was a lot of fun. I worked with Tommy Lee Jones in 1994 when he directed 'The Good Old Boys', which Fran and I did with him and that's when I first met Joel and Ethan. And Joel and Ethan subsequently worked with Tommy to incredible effect in 'No Country for Old Men' and Tommy gave a remarkable performance in that. And actually, I had Tommy as a frame of reference [for 'True Grit'] because he's from West Texas. And he's also somebody who is really fun to listen to, he knows a lot about a lot, and there's something of the English teacher in him – you can ask him an obscure question and he enjoys knowing what he knows [laughs]. And so we kind of riffed on that. It's not exact but it's a similar way of presentation. My character in 'True Grit' is supposed to be a windbag – it's like he comes over as a man who knows everything but actually doesn't know very much at all! Not that Tommy's like that, but Tommy is a great storyteller. And that was where we started to build the guy.
How does Matt Damon sustain his string of successes? With a lot of help from friends like new costar Emily Blunt. (And just maybe a little talent of his own.)
On a Wednesday morning, Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, delivered their fourth child, a baby girl. The following Monday, he's talking to me.
But not about birthday methods. He doesn't consider his family to be interview fodder—would yours be? So we talk about something any farther can identify with: the urgent desire to perform well on the job.
And as we talk, he shows an unusual trait for a walking franchise: reflexive, impenetrable humility.
"It's always hard to talk about yourself, but…" He stops. Redirects. "There are actors who are just movie stars, you know? They just are. You can't take your eyes off them when they're on the screen. I know what that thing is, and I see it in some of my friends, but that's just not who I am. My movies being really good or watchable always depends on everybody being really good, not just me. I'm particularly sensitive about making sure we secure the best possible people in each role because I am not somebody who can overcome if we don't."
Matt and Emily Blunt are on the cover of March editions of Women's Health and Men's Health. Also Empire Magazine has a The Adjustment Bureau feature on it's March issue. And it seems Men's Health has 2 different covers (or maybe different country editions?)

The Adjustment Bureau costars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt were the lucky ones chosen to be the first-ever cover stars of both Men's and Women's Heath, which hit newsstands today. Emily has been doing double duty promoting their collaboration as well as Gnomeo and Juliet, and we had the chance to learn all about her former gnome fears while at the recent junket for the animated picture. Emily and Matt are on the March editions of the Health magazines to chat all about their upcoming film, their close friendship, and how she got into shape to play a ballet dancer. Matt also shared a few choice words about movies he feels are made just based on a star's power at the box office — projects that he strives to avoid. They said:
* Matt on Emily's acting abilities: "There are a lot of great actresses her age right now, but Emily is just f—king unbelievable."
* Emily on having fun with Matt: "I met Matt and he was lovely and very funny, and instantly, I thought, 'Oh, we could be like teenage boys together. Just be weird and stupid and silly.'"
* Emily on getting in shape to play a ballet dancer: "I looked like an aerobics teacher. My shoulders puffed out, my back looked like there was a barrel of snakes in it and I had an eight-pack!"
* Matt on movies that are just star vehicles: "That's like watching someone jerk off, really. It's just absolutely not at all interesting, and not something I want to spend any time doing."
Hollywood heavy-hitter Matt Damon has his head on straight, as CARMEL MELOUNEY discovers
MATT Damon is renowned as the consummate Hollywood professional, so it feels a little disconcerting to walk into a hotel room and be ignored by the man crowned Sexiest Man Alive in 2007.
It's especially awkward because only two people are in the room.
In New York to discuss his new film, Hereafter, Damon is anxiously awaiting news from his wife Luciana, who is about to give birth to her fourth baby and the couple's third child together.
The Oscar-winning actor met his Argentine wife while she was bartending in Miami in 2003.
Damon's dedication to his family is evident as he frantically texts on a Blackberry after taking a seat, and apologises for his lack of attention.
"OK, I'm a terrible multi-tasker," he says as he drops his Blackberry on the floor. While other actors may have appeared rude as they juggled a Blackberry and a waiting journalist, Damon is unfailingly polite about it and clearly uncomfortable with having to do so.
Judging from Matt Damon's body of work, one would think that Hollywood has definitely been kind to him. In fact, with his latest movie, it seems Damon's lucky streak still holds. "True Grit," his upcoming starrer directed by the Coen (Joel and Ethan) Brothers, is creating quite a buzz in the Oscars; but more so, it has been an opportunity for Damon to finally suck it up to the two directors he's been dying to work with.
An adaptation of Charles Portis' novel with the same title instead of a remake of the 1969 film, expectations are high considering the original movie was a John Wayne classic for which he won his only Oscar. "It's hard to find material that feels like it's not just a retread of something," Damon says. "But this is a western that deserved to be made. I think Clint (Eastwood) did it to great effect 15 years ago but I read everything and I hadn't come across a script that was this good, with directors of this caliber and a role like this. It was a very easy decision for me."
The fact is, even Damon admits that choosing movie roles hadn't been too hard for him since he did the Bourne series. "Suddenly my choices became really easy –like Paul Greengrass would call or Martin Scorsese. It's ridiculous! Like, someone would ask me 'why did you do this movie?' Well, that's easy, if Martin Scorsese asks me to do a movie I'm there. It's not even a choice. If the Coen Brothers ask you to work with Jeff Bridges on 'True Grit,' that's easy. I was in before I knew what the movie was. And then I looked at it and the script is great."

Gonorrhea HO41, a strain that was first discovered in Japan in 2011 in a 31-year-old female sex worker, has not yet resulted in any deaths,?Sky News?reported. But doctors warn that if preventative measures aren?t taken now, it could lead to a crisis.
?The potential for disaster is great,? William Smith of the U.S. National Coalition of STD Directors said. ?It's an emergency situation … As time moves on, it's getting more hazardous."
Since it was first detected, HO41 has cropped up in California, Hawaii and Norway. If untreated, the disease can heighten the patient?s risk for acquiring HIV, as well as result in infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and infections of the blood stream. And according to the?Daily Mail, the last group of antibiotics that have been used to treat the gonorrhea have begun failing across the globe, leading to widespread fear that the sexually transmitted disease may quickly become incurable.
"This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly," Alan Christianson, a naturopathic doctor based in Arizona, told?CNBC. "Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put someone into septic shock and death in a matter of days. This is very dangerous."
In a?December article?in the journal of Future Microbiology, World Health Oranization officials said that, ?An era of untreatable gonorrhea may be approaching, which represents an exceedingly serious public health problem.?
Smith reportedly urged Congress members as recently as last week to set aside additional funding to the tune of $54 million to develop a new antibiotic drug to fight HO41. While he is optimistic that the money will be found, Smith said that as it stands the U.S. isn?t currently ready to fight an outbreak.
"I'm hopeful we'll get the additional funds, but I can't say for sure," Smith said. "What I do know is we don't have the resources to fight this as it stands now."
