Several years ago I was in Sun Valley, ID for a family reunion. One of the relatives took us to an upscale resale shop & I found several new local sweatshirts /t-shirts that I bought as souvenirs. Since then whenever I travel I seek out resale/thirft shops in the area & find a vast array of (often new) local t-shirts, sweatshirts, gee-gaws, local art, etc.
On a recent trip to the Houston/Galveston & a cruise out of Galveston I found brand new t-shirts from Hard Rock Cafe/Cozumel, Royal Carribbean (the ship we were traveling on), and other shirts & local stuff @ a Goodwill that was close to our hotel on Seawall Blvd. The shirts were $2 each instead of $18++.

Come winter in Japan, a glorious season when the skies are usually azure (even if the lips are blue as well) and global restaurateur Nobu Matsuhisa's thoughts turn to those basic Japanese comfort favourites – wonton noodles, gyoza, curry rice, tonkatsu.
"I have a private chef who prepares them to my liking – my wife," he laughs during one of his regular visits to his Melbourne Noburestaurant at Crown.
"Or if I am in Tokyo, I like the small noodle bars or tempura restaurants. Azabujuban Toryu [in the Azabu Juban district] is one of my favourite places for noodle and gyoza."
These dishes, it's intriguing to note, are not Japanese – at least not to the Japanese. Ramen noodles and gyoza dumplings are considered Chinese; curry rice evolved from English versions of Indian dishes via the opening of Japan to Western trade in the 19th century; and tonkatsu – fried and crumbed pork – means pork cutlet, another import.
Nobu's restaurants have actually been doing the reverse – exporting Japanese influences into Western dishes. His restaurants, whether the Nobus or Matsuhisas, or even his new hotels, infuse Western produce and dishes with a Japanese sensibility – spiced with his formative years as a young chef in Peru.
At Nobu Melbourne, chef Chris Chan is using Blackmore intercostal (between the ribs) wagyu with balsamic teriyaki, wasabi salsa and Jalapeno tempura. At all his restaurants, Nobu says he is focused on reminding diners of umami, the so-called fifth taste, along with sweet, sour, salty and bitter, which occurs naturally in foods such as parmigiano, sea kelp and tomato. "We are interested, of course, in sustainability, in natural foods and so it is natural to use umami to accentuate flavour," he says. "Our new menus are all about umami, for example, vegetable enzymes in marinades."
Umami is in fact L-glutamate, for which humans have strong taste receptors – and in a concentrated form it becomes MSG, that sometimes notorious additive favoured by the sorts of humble Chinese restaurants Nobu may like.
He laughs again: "No, no – umami occurs naturally, it is about produce and bringing out flavours. That is important, even in noodles."

I've worked in the Television Industry in Hollywood for 30 years as an editor, first on Music & Variety Specials and more recently on Sitcoms. I graduated from Ohio University with a Major in Radio-Television.
I was in Ohio for two years starting in June of 2010 to help my mother, who was in the hospice-at-home program. I am her only child and we lost my father 8 years ago. She passed away on January 29, 2012. It took five months to close her Estate and sell the house, car and contents. I returned to LA in July of 2012.
I have never been married. I married my job earlier in my career and while I earned three Emmy Awards & many other accolades, the long hours and inability to plan because of a changing work schedule made it hard to also have a relationship. Thus, I have no children. I like kids, however as long as they turn into pumpkins in the nighttime.
My hobbies include computers, exercising, walking & hiking amateur radio and travel. I also like good food & restaurants and company. I traveled for 28 days in 2012 visiting London, Moscow, a boat cruise up the Volga to St. Petersburg, Prague and Munich. Whew! Did I mention that I then flew to Chicago to revisit the place where I did my college internship? I hadn't been back there in 36 years!
I also spent Christmas of 2014 on a cruise from L.A. to Ft. Lauderdale via the Panama Canal. It was fascinating and I met a lot of wonderful folks.
I have a timeshare on the Big Island and have spent several weeks in the past two years visiting there. It is a wonderful place to relax and regroup, especially after a long, trying season of work.
I started working out in August of 2010 and have lost quite a bit of weight in that time (my photo is before the weight loss). I spend an hour 2 times a week at the gym and enjoy it! I spend a lot of time on the elliptical machine and on the weights. I put about 10 of those pounds back when working but am back at the weights and elliptical trying to work them off.
Thanks to my FitBit, I am walking nearly 5 miles a day most days (at least 5 days a week) through Montrose. I treat myself to a Tropical Passion Iced Tea at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf before trekking onward.
I worked in Atlanta for a year on a sitcom project for a big name producer (who cannot be named). That was a fun experience and I learned a lot and got to spend time with college friends who live there.
I have worked on two pilots and two series since my return and am currently looking for a show for the Fall TV Season.
Editors have to sift through mountains of material, keep it organized, remember it and put it together in a way that makes sense and flows. The other half of the job is convincing a nervous Producer that this is the best way to tell their story and that it is funnier this way than another (or better if it isn't supposed to be funny!).
I also have some natural ability to understand computers (PC's mainly) and love to play with my smartphone (Android) - making it do more stuff for me, automating parts of my life.
I am an avid investor and spend time listening to CNBC and on my computer watching my stocks go up or down. I am a capitalist and don't want to occupy anything (except my chair)!
I am also a good traveler. I've been to the North Pole (via ice-breaker) to "hunt" polar bears with a camera, been up the Caledonian Canal in Scotland, visited friends in Ireland and England, swam with Sea Lions in the Galapagos Islands, visited Macchu Picchu and have been to Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I also spent eleven days in Russia - in Moscow and in St. Petersburg. I really love travel and look forward to many more trips - perhaps following my father's WWII footsteps through the South Pacific & Australia.
Movies: Not a lot of films interest me. They are aimed at 12 year-old boys because they will go see them multiple times. I like the "Harry Potter" and "Narnia" series. Historical dramas & stories like "The King's Speech" often catch my interest.
I just saw "Love & Mercy" - about the trials and tribulations of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and the woman who "rescued" him. I highly recommend it. It was the first film I have bothered to go to a theater to see in years (excluding the free Academy & DGA screenings, of course).
TV: Like "The Good Wife", "NCIS", "Aquarius" and from across the pond: "Doc Martin", "Mrs. Brown's Boys","Downton Abbey", "Inspector Lewis", "Inspector Lynley", "Foyle's War", "Endeavour", "Midsomer Murders", "Father Ted" and "Mr. Bean." Hmmm... no sitcoms in that list and since they are my craft I would add "The Big Bang Theory" (I have lots of friends working on that one) and "Last Man Standing".
Music: I still love "Chicago", "Steely Dan", "Mark Knopfler", "The Beatles" and similar stuff. I have been to see "Chicago" in concern a dozen times in the past three years & met Jimmy Pankow, the trombonist/arranger. As a former trombonist, I appreciate the intricate horn parts.
Lately I have developed an interest in some Country music - because I like the stories and the different ways that they look upon life situations. Brad Paisley, Don Williams and many others are on my "Slacker Radio" app.
Food: I LOVE Italian food, German, Chinese and American. I am open to other stuff but don't tolerate peppers of any kind so I have to be careful. That limits (but doesn't eliminate) Mexican and to an extent some Chinese. I'm also limited on my seafood tastes but I do like shrimp. I manage to find meals most of the time!
2. My Android phone (LG G4)
3. Friends
4. Family
5. TV & DVR including Roku
6. Travel
(definitely not in this order!)
I am happier when I am with other people but I have grown comfortable in being alone with myself. Analyze that, Mr. Freud!

In April 2012, an Arab-American Muslim from Massachusetts, Tarek Mehanna, was sentenced to seventeen-and-a-half years in prison after being found guilty of (among other things) traveling to Yemen in 2004 so he could get training to fight against U.S. troops in Iraq. (Several American Muslims have been convicted on similar charges.)
Mehanna's case has renewed a debate among some American Muslims: If the U.S. invades a Muslim country, whose side are American Muslims supposed to be on? What religious responsibility do American Muslims have to assist Muslims whose country is invaded by the U.S.?
At his sentencing hearing, Mehanna told the Judge, "I watched as America then attacked and invaded Iraq directly. I saw the effects of 'Shock & Awe' in the opening day of the invasion – the children in hospital wards with shrapnel from American missiles sticking but of their foreheads (of course, none of this was shown on CNN). I learned about the town of Haditha, where 24 Muslims – including a 76-year old man in a wheelchair, women, and even toddlers – were shot up and blown up in their bedclothes as the slept by US Marines. I learned about Abeer al-Janabi, a fourteen-year old Iraqi girl gang-raped by five American soldiers, who then shot her and her family in the head, then set fire to their corpses. I just want to point out, as you can see, Muslim women don't even show their hair to unrelated men. So try to imagine this young girl from a conservative village with her dress torn off, being sexually assaulted by not one, not two, not three, not four, but five soldiers. Even today, as I sit in my jail cell, I read about the drone strikes which continue to kill Muslims daily in places like Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen. Just last month, we all heard about the seventeen Afghan Muslims – mostly mothers and their kids – shot to death by an American soldier, who also set fire to their corpses. These are just the stories that make it to the headlines, but one of the first concepts I learned in Islam is that of loyalty, of brotherhood – that each Muslim woman is my sister, each man is my brother, and together, we are one large body who must protect each other. In other words, I couldn't see these things beings done to my brothers & sisters – including by America – and remain neutral. My sympathy for the oppressed continued, but was now more personal, as was my respect for those defending them. … So, this trial was not about my position on Muslims killing American civilians. It was about my position on Americans killing Muslim civilians, which is that Muslims should defend their lands from foreign invaders – Soviets, Americans, or Martians. This is what I believe. It's what I've always believed, and what I will always believe. This is not terrorism, and it's not extremism. It's what the arrows on that seal above your head represent: defense of the homeland. So, I disagree with my lawyers when they say that you don't have to agree with my beliefs – no. Anyone with commonsense and humanity has no choice but to agree with me. If someone breaks into your home to rob you and harm your family, logic dictates that you do whatever it takes to expel that invader from your home."
The Recitation (or Qur'an) instructs Muslims to fight those who fight them. "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression." (2:190-193)
Do these verses mean that Muslims should fight only if they are personally attacked, or should all Muslims fight when any Muslim is attacked?
Does an American Muslim's view of the legitimacy of the American invasion of Iraq affect the religious analysis? Polling and anecdotal evidence show that most American Muslims believe that America was not justified in invading Iraq in 2003. If an American Muslim believes that the American invasion of Iraq was unjustified, does that create a religious obligation to fight American troops in Iraq?
Some American Muslims argue that an American Muslim is never religiously permitted to take up arms against U.S. forces. They say that citizenship is a treaty between an individual and his country, which implies a pledge by the individual to not attack his countrymen. They argue that Prophet Muhammad never waged war against hostile, oppressive, anti-Muslim Meccan forces while he was a citizen/resident of Mecca; he only waged war against Meccan forces after leaving Mecca and permanently moving to Medina. These American Muslims say that an American Muslim who wants to fight American troops in Iraq can only do so if he cuts ties with America and moves away (rather than pretending to remain a loyal American citizen).
Some American Muslims respond that this analysis, regarding the Prophet's departure from Mecca prior to fighting Meccan forces, is off the mark. Their argument is as follows: The Prophet did not leave Mecca in anticipation of going to war against Meccan forces. He left Mecca to establish an Islamic state elsewhere, because Mecca was not prepared to become an Islamic state at the time. He left Mecca and hoped that he and the Muslim community would be left alone in Medina. (The Muslims raided Meccan caravans to recoup their losses relating to property left behind in Mecca, but the Muslims did not seek all-out war with Meccan forces.) The Muslims fought Meccan forces only when the Meccan army came after them at the Battle of Badr. That's different from the U.S.-Iraq situation in 2004 (when Mehanna travelled to Yemen for training). The Prophet's situation would have been more analogous to the 2004 U.S.-Iraq situation if Mecca had already been at war with another city, and if the Prophet had moved to Medina in order to join the fight against Mecca; then one could argue that American Muslims who wanted to help the Iraqis by fighting U.S. forces must move out of America. It would be interesting to know about the actions of those Muslims who lived openly or "undercover" in Mecca while Mecca was at war with Medina; were they "loyal Meccans," or did they take any steps to assist the Muslims of Medina against Meccan forces?
It's also religiously significant for some American Muslims that American law prohibits Americans from fighting against U.S. forces. Some American Muslims believe they have a religious obligation to follow the laws of the country where they live. They believe that Prophet Muhammad said, "It is necessary upon a Muslim to listen to and obey the ruler, as long as one is not ordered to carry out a sin. If he is commanded to commit a sin, then there is no adherence and obedience." That takes us back to the above-mentioned verse from the Recitation; if an American Muslim is commanded to not help Muslims whose country is invaded by the U.S, is he "commanded to commit a sin"?

MARMET Hot On a Cold Day
Detectives from the MARMET / METRICH Drug Task, along with the Marion Special Response Team, Marion Police Department, and Marion County Sheriff's Office, completed an investigation Wednesday into the trafficking of heroin and crack cocaine by a group from Chicago.
The investigation concluded on January 29, 2014 when officers served a search warrant in the 550 block of Universal Avenue. During the search, investigators seized 99 bindles of heroin, 4.5 grams of crack cocaine, various pills, and $600 in cash. A stolen 1996 Buick was located on the property as well.
Those arrested included:
- Kierre D. Waterford, 24, of Lansing, IL, for Possession of Crack Cocaine, Possession of Heroin, Receiving Stolen Property, and Parole Violation from Cook County, IL.
- Kevin Jackson, 22, of Marion (formally from Chicago), for Possession of Crack Cocaine, Possession of Heroin, and Bond Violation.
- Darel Williams, 21, of Harvey, IL, for Trafficking in Heroin, Possession of Heroin, and Possession of Crack Cocaine.
- Omar Burks, 23, of Harvey, IL, for Trafficking in Heroin, Possession of Heroin, Possession of Crack Cocaine, and Bond Violation.
- Mason Fry, 21, of Marion, for Trafficking in Heroin, Possession of Heroin, and Possession of Crack Cocaine.
- Tamara Hudkins, 39, of Marion, for an outstanding warrant.
Lt. Chris Adkins of MARMET said that some of the individuals arrested were out on bond for similar crimes in Marion. He said that one was out on bond for weapons charges and the other was just arrested in the last few months after a search warrant was served on an apartment where he was living.
"With great investigative work and tips from the Marion community the drug task force will continue to arrest those that choose to come to Marion to sell drugs," stated Lt. Adkins.
Lt. Adkins asked that the public continue to use the TIPS Line at 740-375-TIPS.

text: Mao Zedong believed that revolutionary fervor could overcome technological backwardness. But when more pragmatic leaders took power in Beijing, they found that China lagged so far behind the West that the country risked permanent second-class status. Mao's successor, Deng Xiaoping, launched China's rise by reforming the economy and opening the country to the West. With this opening, however, came a long-running, state-sponsored espionage program to acquire advanced technology and accelerate the growth of China's civil and military industries. And when Western companies first went into China, they believed that the damage from espionage was tolerable, part of the cost of doing business in the world's fastest-growing market, and that they could "run faster" to create new technologies, thereby minimizing any loss. But what was tolerable when China was a developing economy is no longer acceptable when it is the second-largest economy in the world and a potential military competitor.

I have upgraded to BT5, really enjoying the new features and layout
I was running BT5 on a live CD and later installed it to the HD. When I first ran it from the CD I was exploring around the new OS and went to the network manager and connected to my router. I had full internet access and began messing around.
After a short while I tried to connect back to my router and I was getting the following errors on launching the network manager.
"Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for errors messages"
I then click my network enter the WPA passphrase and it tries to connect. I then get the error
Bad Password
Anyone know how to fix this problem? I had a look at the logs and didn't see any errors. One minute the internet is working fine the next minute I can't connect and my password is bad.
I got a little paranoid so checked my password on my other computers and could connect no problem, I am on the same laptop now - on the XP partition - and can connect fine.
I tried reboots and starting the network manually still no joy, hell even restarted the router - no joy
I then installed BT5 to my hard drive and still got the same problems.
This is really strange, I searched the internet for answers but having no joy.
Dual boot: XP & BT5
Thanks guys

Not only is is fiscally impractical, there is no point. And to me that is the bigger issue. If it costs a ton and money and actually had some benefit, that would be a different storySo it comes down to the fiscal impracticality? But not outright support or opposition?It looks like cmb answered your question. She doesn't think drug testing is practical because most drug addicts don't receive benefits and most people "wasting" their benefits would test negative for a drug test.
If that's your personal interest. OK. But that is totally outside the scope of my question. I wasn't asking how to help ppl develop better money management skills.
I was asking specifically about the issue of drug testing.
Is it fair, effective, efficacious, feasible, reccommendable, evidence-based, etc. Why or why not?
If I am on welfare and I am addicted to drugs, what better way to help me than to identify my problem and compell me to get treatment? Or will other things help me more?

Persuade me to come back!!
So after driving BMW's for nearly 17 years straight, from the 3 to about 14 5-series variations, to 2 750i's, I needed a change. Always loved 'em, was just a bit bored. Bought me a 2009 Maserati Quattroporte. Beautiful car, high-end quality, of course excellent performance but a but quirky too. Technology is horrific, if at all. Having some issues with dealer that are serious enough that I'm about ready to just dump her.
Looking to come back to either a 750i, possibly the new 550GT (most recent Beemer was a '08 550i M-Sport loaded), or I'm even considering (just considering) the Panamera.
For those who have had past 7's, how does the F01 compare? I'm seeing mixed emotions here on the 'Fest, aside from vibration issues. I'll say one thing though, in the BMW showroom last week, sat in the 750 comfort seats, and holy ****, SOOOOOO much more comfortable than the Maserati's. You just meld into the seat. I have a little time if needed, or can act quickly, but do I consider the 2010 at a decent deal, or full pop for the '11's and are they worth the changes?
For what it's worth, I've had my very fair share of problems with my Bimmer's and they always seem to spend more time in the shop than I'd like, but when it came to my 2 7's, other than a minor something here and there, not one single issue, just a great, all around awesome car.

I have had an E39 (most beautiful 7 series ever in terms of design), an E66 (loved the iDrive and the crazy design - despite the bangle but jokes Lexus, Mercedes and other luxury cars took their design cue from the bangle butt), an F02 (most technological advanced vehicle on the road currently) which i sold and then got another F02 with ACC, and IAS.
The F02 is the best 7 series i've ever had the pleasure of driving. I can go on and on and on all day about why you should get F01/02 but as you can see bcool and other OPs are some of the very few people having issues with their car. The rest of us (majority) are enjoying the car very well.
I recommend you test drive any of the cars that you're thinking about buying atleast twice and then compare. The Panamera is a great car but if you feel like driving a stretch Porche 911 then that's your car. The Mercedes S-Class is a very luxurious and very comfortable car but lack some sportiness. The F02 gives you the best of both worlds; luxurious, comfort, and sportiness.
When you're done with all the test drives, try and test drive the RR Phantom and the Ghost, now go back and drive the F02 and see if you notice something; both cars have similar technology as the F02 but the F02 is twice cheaper. Just my personal observation.
Good luck and hope to see you in F02 soon

When the Quattroporte was shown I immediately fell in love. I can absolutely understand that you bought it. So beautiful, Italian sports engine, ... I almost bought it, too.
Then I had the chance to drive it a few days. I had a Mercedes S420 CDI (2008 model diesel!) at that time. First I heard this sports car sound, touch the leather, all very nice. But after a day I have seen that it's not really a sports car. The acceleration is not that much better than my diesel (0-60 mph < 1sec difference). It is louder, less comfortable poorly integrated entertainment and navigation systems. So I went back to my diesel and was really happy that I have tested it before buying.
Now I have a S500 (2009), I think in US it is a S550, this one is almost perfect. But I had forgotten to order the ABC chassis. The car is too soft for me without it. So if you buy a S-Class Mercedes. Don't forget it!
To have something different I have now ordered a F01 750i without xDrive. I have tested them both and have decided to go for the Integral Active Steering which is not available for the xDrive. And I think in Florida you will not have that much snow
I also had the chance to test the Panamera. It is a very nice car. Not as beautiful as the Quattroporte but it offers what you would expect from a sports sedan combined with perfect quality. I did not chose it because here it is about 40% more expensive in leasing (from a tax perspective the best way to drive a company car in Germany) than a comparable BMW 750i. Except the fact that my 750i will have a limited top speed (156 mph) it has the same performance. But top speed is most probably not the most important criterion in US.

drove the 550iGT Saturday... not impressed. I hate to say that because I have yet to find a BMW that doesn't. Couple things of note. Frameless windows. Makes the car creak way to much. very harsh over speed bumps.. not typical for a Bimmer.. very hard drop on rear and front wheels even in comfort setting.
car at times seems like it had NO power, and I mean no power. could be a one off bad car, but for 400hp, and coming from a E60 550i, no comparison. Mostof this was noticed at low gears off the line.
interior is pretty, all based on the 7'er. visibility a little getting used to. this car had no premium stereo so sounded blah. Of course I can order how I want, but I'll either order a 2011 750i sport or wait for the new 550i.

I think that's a great outcome. The GT is ugly and if you keep that Maserati, you will be left on the roadside, broke down. Ital design is beautiful but doesn't deliver reliably.

Local veterans express displeasure over VA bonuses
"It's ridiculous."
Tammy Cartwright is not talking about Anchorage's annual Fourth of July parade. The Navy veteran finds herself in another battle these days with her former boss. Cartwright served one tour in Iraq from 2005 to 2006. She has been waiting for treatment from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"When you file a claim, any type of claim, you're waiting anywhere from one, to two to three years to get anything back," Cartwright said. "They'll tell you it takes only six months."
Cartwright is not happy to hear those who help make the decisions regarding her care are cashing in while she waits.
"I think they can do a lot better," she said.
KTVA 11 News learned the number two person in charge of the local VA healthcare system received a $5,000 bonus last year on top of his $140,000 annual salary. The director received an extra $4,500 a year earlier.
A new congressional report reveals the VA awarded close to $400,000 in bonuses for 2013, excluding Anchorage. That money went to the 38 VA hospitals being investigated around the country. They involve deaths of vets and excessive delays in treatment.
"It's a sad thing that never should have occurred," said Navy veteran Martin Scheering.
Scheering spent 12 years in the Navy. He's also not happy to hear about the VA bonuses.
"This is nothing new," he said. "This happens in big corporate businesses as well, sadly to say. Greed has overrun our country today. I hope it turns around."
The July 4 parade helps honor the veterans. They're grateful for it, but what they really want is improved healthcare, not just seeing some of those overseeing it getting richer.

Charlize Theron Sells A Little Piece Of Music History
Charlize Theron is handing over the keys to a one-of-a-kind Beatles memorabilia.
The Oscar-winning actress has recently sold her Hollywood Hills manion for $3.8 million — the very same home inspired George Harrison to write "Blue Jay Way" for the British band.
Reportedly, the guitarist penned the song while waiting for a friend to arrive to the three bedroom, three bathroom abode.
Aside from Harrison, previous celebrities that lived in the "Bird Streets" neighborhood include Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster, Keanu Reeves and Theron's The Cider House Rules co-star, Tobey Maguire.

Afternoon all. So they say lightning doesn't strike twice. But 12 months on from the most unlikely of French Open victories, Francesca Schiavone, who is somehow transformed from journeywoman to superwoman on the red clay of Roland Garros, is on the verge of a triumph only slightly less unlikely than the first. And four months after finishing as runner-up at the Australian Open, Li Na is back in another major final, looking to claim a first grand slam singles title for the emerging tennis superpower of China.
With an estimated 330 million households able to watch the final on Chinese state TV, this could be the most-viewed tennis match of all time. Or the second most viewed, depending on how many people watched the Australian Open final, which, frankly no one really seems to know.
Not that the thought of a Saturday night prime-time Chinese audience seems to faze Li too much. "I never feel pressure," she said. "If someone can stay behind you and push you a lot, it's good for me. I have always been so proud for what I'm doing. Not so many players can be in a final two times in a row. I have one time already, so I think I can do better this time."
It all gets going at 2pm BST time by the way, which gives you plenty of time to drag yourself indoors from your sunbathing. And me enough time to find another jumper in the heavily air-conditioned Guardian office. Bah.
Meanwhile in news that makes me feel slightly less depressed about my recent birthday, Schiavone (30 years and 346 days) and Li (29 years and 98 days) boast a combined age of 60 years and 79 days, making this the oldest women's grand slam final since 1998. And if Schiavone and her creaking limbs prevail, she'll be the first thirtysomething to claim a major title since Martina Navratilova won Wimbledon in 1990.
"Some years ago the champions were always young players, but now it is changing," Schiavone said after her semi-final win over Marion Bartoli. "Years can help a lot, the experience. It's like wine. The more it stays in the bottle, it's much better."
But while the two payers have their, erm, advancing years in common, one thing they don't share is the same approach to the game. This will be a real clash of styles between the craft and guile of Schiavone, with all her spin, slice and angles, against the more direct and clinical approach of the hard-hitting Li.
It should be a fascinating contest to watch, and one which seems almost impossible to call. Their head-to-head record reads two wins apiece, although Schiavone did win their only clash on clay in the third round at Roland Garros last year.
Today it could well just come down to who holds their nerve better. You can't see Schiavone giving up her title without an almighty scrap, while Li should be wiser for experience of losing to Kim Clijsters in Australia. If I was a betting woman (which, given my general indecisiveness, I'm not) I'd probably plump for Li. Most bookies have her as the slight favourite, pricing her at 4-5 to win, with Schiavone evens.
Amélie Mauresmo in the Eurosport studio seems to be with me and the bookies too, declaring "it's Li's time" to win that first grand slam. Not sure what the BBC commentators think though, BBC Two is still airing what appears to be a programme about mushrooms.
The pre-match interviews. Eurosport cut to Li's interview just as it's wrapping up, but this from Schiavone: "It's great to be here, the heart is going really fast". And that's about all she says.
And they're both out on court. Schiavone perhaps gets the slightly bigger cheer of the two. The Parisians seem to have forgiven her for beating Bartoli in the semi-finals, which is kind of them.
Tonk, tonk, tonk they're warming up. Both players have gone for pink and white ensembles, but Li's entourage are patriotically wearing the colours of the Chinese flag, including her Danish coach Michael Mortensen. Schiavone has won the toss and will serve first.
Schiavone 1-0 Li* (*denotes next server)
Schiavone slips 15-30 behind but then whips a forehand pass down the line. Li responds in kind on the next point with a cross-court thunderbolt to bring up break point at 30-40. Li overcooks a forehand and it's deuce. Two more unforced errors from the Chinese player and Schiavone squeezes through her opening service game.
*Schiavone 1-1 Li
Li scurries into a 40-0 lead but then throws in a double fault, before Schiavone gets the better of a longer exchange. Schiavone's good work comes to nothing though as she goes long on the next point. As for the conditions today in Paris, apparently it's fairly hot and humid, but the swirling wind of the last few days has died down, which will be a relief to the players.
Schiavone 2-1 Li*
At 30-15, Li pounces on a weak second serve to hammer a forehand winner down the line. She doesn't hold back on the next point either, but this time she miscues and her backhand skids a fraction wide. 40-30. And a forehand from Li goes a foot or so long and we're still on serve. This is already shaping up pretty nicely.
*Schiavone 2-2 Li
A comfortable hold for Li, as she fires down the first ace of the match. Meanwhile in the players' box Mr Li is looking pretty happy with proceedings early on, despite having been recently fired as her coach and demoted to hitting partner and cheerleader-in-chief. The decision's clearly paid off for her, so there's probably a lesson in that for us all. Though if I fired Mr Murrells I'd have to pay an accountant to do my tax return which would kind of be shooting myself in the foot.
Schiavone 2-3 Li*
And there's the first break of the match. At 15-30, a game of cat and mouse ends in Li burying a smash. 15-40. Two break points. Schiavone saves the first, but goes wide with a forehand on the second. Li is hitting the ball very cleanly at the moment and if she can continue like this, playing the match on her terms, it's difficult to see how Schiavone can fend her off.
*Schiavone 2-4 Li
15-0. 30-0. 40-0. Game. Li consolidates the break by rattling through her service game in double quick time. Cue another nod from Mr Li. "This is shaping up to be a good game," writes Dave Freeman. "No sign of the nerves which can ruin women's tennis finals. Though feeling for Li's poor husband who seems to be told exactly what to do by his wife." As it should be Dave ...
*Schiavone 3-4 Li
Well anything Li can do ... now it's Schiavone's turn to hold to love. And there's not really too much else to say about that game really.
*Schiavone 3-5 Li
Hmm, there's only so many ways of saying this. It's another hold to love, with Li sealing it with an ace down the T. Though it's making the game-by-game job easy for me, I guess. Schiavone will now serve to stay in the set.
Schiavone 4-5 Li*
15-0. 30-0. 40-0. But this time Li does register a point against serve, whacking a backhand down the line to make it 40-15. She goes long on the next point though and will now have to serve for the first set. Meanwhile on the email front is there anyone out there? Or are you all bathing in the sun? Or are you all reading Mr Lutz's over-by-over? Gah!
Li wins the first set 6-4
From 15-all, Li steps into mid court and buries a smash past Schiavone's right wing. Schiavone mutters something in Italian but I'm afraid I can't tell you what she said. Though I can tell you there are lots of "Forza Francesca, Forza Francesca" chants from the crowd, who are clearly on the side of the 30-year-old. Schiavone gets back to 30-all, but another forehand missile and Li brings up set point. Schiavone dumps a shot into the net and that's the first set done and dusted after 40 minutes.
Meanwhile on the BBC, the British No2 Anne Keothavong is mulling over whether the slightly quicker balls this year have affected Schiavone's chances. "The balls are different and more lively. That's suiting Li more. It's faster and will suit someone who hits the ball flatter, she's dominated and she's really going for it. She hits the ball so sweetly and is moving well."
Schiavone 4-6 0-1 Li*
Schiavone's in all sorts of trouble as she slips to 0-40 down in the blink of an eye. She needs to refocus fast or she'll be scampering off court in no time. She does just that, to reduce her arrears to 30-40, but then slaps a forehand into the net. For all Schiavone's craft, she has no answer to Li's power at the moment. This final's being played on Li's terms, with the Chinese hitting 15 winners in that first set to Schiavone's three.
*Schiavone 4-6 0-2 Li
At 30-15, Schiavone pounces on a short ball to rouse the crowd, and then a brilliant bit of improvisation at the net gets her to 30-40. The camera pans to Martina Hingis in the crowd who looks pretty impressed with that. Break point. But Li drills down an ace and then reels off the next two points. A collective sigh from the Parisians follows.
Schiavone 4-6 1-2 Li*
Schiavone holds to love. Not that I saw too much of it as I digested your emails boasting of locations far more exotic than GU Towers. "On a beach at Itea, Greece, near Delphi," announces Alan Kennedy. "Fine, hot, although a thunderstorm does appear to be brewing in the mountains." And this from Frances Page: "Fire Island National Seashore off NY via bbrry- no TV and that's a good thing except on finals mornings. Tiki bar not open til noon EST and this match will be long over I suspect." It's a hard life.
*Schiavone 4-6 1-3 Li
Li secures a comfortable hold to 15 as Schiavone scoops a forehand long. That's now 22 winners for Li for the day, compared to just five for Schiavone. And this from Tim Woods in Hannover: "Schaivone's poise seems to have deserted her on the hot clay of Paris today. Is the pressure of 40 million people cheering on her opponent too much? Which would be better for the women's game: a surge of interest from China or a bit of consistency at the top in the same non-Williams player winning the French two years running?"
Schiavone 4-6 2-3 Li*
Talking of China, Sam Smith reveals on the BBC it's around 10pm in the country at the moment, so I'd bet a fair few more than 40 million are watching right now. They'd have been pretty impressed with the forehand cross-court pass Li produces to get to 30-all and then Schiavone dinks a drop shot into the net. 30-40. Dangerous times for the Italian. Li seems to have an age to bury a short ball, but slaps a forehand into the net. Deuce. And Schiavone comes though - just. Meanwhile Louis Regan hasn't given up on Schiavone quite yet. "Two of the most charismatic women on the tour battling it out, great to see. Schiavone to nick it in three ..."
*Schiavone 4-6 2-4 Li
From 30-15, Li wallops another winner past the stranded Schiavone. 40-15. Even a brilliant backhand pass to get to 40-30 doesn't raise a smile from the Italian. And a backhand bullet from Li on the next point secures the game.
Schiavone 4-6 3-4 Li*
There really is very little Schiavone can do at the moment. She's facing a barrage of missiles from Li and just can't find a way of neutralising her opponent's power. A few more winners from Li and it's break point. 30-40. Schiavone manages to avert the danger, and ends up securing the game on her second advantage. But it would seem to be only a matter of time before China's first grand slam champion is crowned.
*Schiavone 4-6 4-4 Li
Hmm what do I know, eh? Li looks a bit edgy on the first point, missing a forehand by a mile. She then nets on the second. 0-30. 15-30. Another unforced error, 15-40, two break points. Li shouts something, I think in the direction of the long-suffering Mr Li. And there's another mistake and suddenly it's back on serve. Cue a "Forza Francesca, Forza Francesca" or three. And this from a slightly off the pace Andrew Gladwin: "Hi from South Africa. So what happened to all the Russians?"
Schiavone 4-6 5-4 Li*
So there's life in the old Italian still. A one-two punch from Schiavone brings up 30-15, she chops at a forehand on the next point, but comfortably rattles off the next two to edge ahead. So from being a point away from a 4-1 lead, Li is now 5-4 down. I believe it's what they call in the business as the yips. Can she hold her composure and stay in this second set?
*Schiavone 4-6 5-5 Li
Even the gods are conspiring against Li now, as a Schiavone shot dips just on the baseline and kicks up, giving the Chinese player no chance. 30-all. Li takes a deep breath and dispatches a gutsy forehand from mid court to carve out game point. This time the net is against Li, as Schiavone's effort just clips it and trickles over. Deuce. And two errors from Schiavone see Li through. An impressive hold given the way the momentum has shifted.
Schiavone 4-6 6-5 Li*
Schiavone pulls out a couple of terrific backhand volleys from her box of tricks and takes the game to love. She leaps back to her chair, ready to attempt to break to take the second set ...
Schiavone 4-6 6-6 Li*
... but that she can't quite do. At deuce, the umpire scampers down from her high chair and overrules a line call. She points to a mark on the clay and declares Li's ball is good, despite Schiavone's protestations that it wasn't the right mark at all. Advantage Li. And then it's game. So we're into a tie-break...
Li beats Schiavone 6-4 7-6 to win the French Open
What a wonderful point to start the breaker, probably the best of the match so far, as Li gets in on the volleying act to go 1-0 up. 2-0. A strong first serve makes it 3-0. And then a double handed backhand overhead, probably one of the hardest shots in the book, makes it 4-zip. What can Schiavone do to respond? Not much. She dumps a volley into the net. 5-0. Plenty of fist-pumping from Li. Another unforced error from Schiavone. 6-0. Six championship points. How many will Li need? Just the one, as Schiavone fires long for her 17th unforced error of the day. Li slides down and lies on the clay, but then bounces up almost immediately to run to the net and embraces her opponent. The back of her top has now turned red, which seems kind of appropriate given the watershed moment for Chinese tennis.
The slightly over-excitable courtside reporter doesn't give Schiavone more than a minute or two to recover from the loss before thrusting a microphone in her face: "I think she played really well. I couldn't really push her forward from the baseline. But at the end we were really close, though she deserved to win today. One has to win, one has to lose, but she deserves everything." And this from Li: "I was up 4-2 and she came back and I needed to stand up again and finally I made it. I was nervous but I didn't want to show my opponent."
Trophy time. Schiavone comes up first, as "Francesca, Francesca" rings around Philippe Chatrier. Then it's Li's turn, as the 29-year-old from Wuhan becomes the first Asian player to get their hands on a grand slam singles trophy. Cue the Chinese national anthem. And then more speeches from both players. Schiavone doesn't really say anything she didn't say before, while Li congratulates Schiavone, then does the prerequisite thanking of the sponsors, and wishes one of her friends in the box a happy birthday. She promises to come back next year and leaves it at that. Andrew Castle then takes great glee in telling Sue Barker that the winner's cheque is about £1m more than when she won the French Open in 1976.
So there you go. Li has pulled off a first for Chinese tennis today, does that mean Roger Federer can claim another first tomorrow and finally beat Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros? See you then and thanks for your emails. Bye.

Dane Cook Apolgizes for "Dark Knight Rises" Massacre Joke
After a weekend-long backlash, Dane Cook has responded to criticism lobbied against him for a distasteful joke about the "Dark Knight Rises" shooting.
At the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles last Thursday, the comedian called the film "pretty much a piece of crap, yea spoiler alert" before suggesting that audience members would "probably have been like, 'f***ing shoot me'" while watching the movie.
Cook responded on Twitter Friday (July 27) with the following statement: "I am devastated by the recent tragedy in Colorado & did not mean to make light of what happened. I made a bad judgment call with my material last night & regret making a joke at such a sensitive time. My heart goes out to all of the families & friends of the victims."
Though reaction from the live audience was mostly positive, the barrage of disapproval came after an crowd member filmed the jokes and posted them online.

$2 billion dollars a year vs no mail on saturday
Apparently, the federal government has decided that the best way to save the slowly dying USPS is to cut services on Saturday. Apparently, not delivering mail is going to save billions of dollars. I find it hard to believe that this is going to fix anything. When it was brought up earlier that delivery cuts should be made, it was determined that this would not save any money and that cut service was not the best idea, so what happened?
I dont think that the USPS really looked at the root of the problem, a problem which seems easy to fix for me at least. Where i live, there is no set time for mail, it can come at any time throughout the day. Add to the fact that the mail carrier who delivers mail to my address is not the same carrier who delivers mail to the person across the street from me. The cherry on top is that we live a stone's throw from a post office. If anything, the service should be better and consistant, but its not. Maybe this is what they should have looked at instead of paying letter carriers to not work on saturday.

Washington (AFP) Feb 11, 2013
IBM is putting its Watson supercomputer to work fighting cancer, in what is described as the first commercial program of its kind to use "big data" to help patients with the disease.
The US computing giant last week unveiled its initiative with health insurer WellPoint and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
The supercomputer, which gained fame by defeating two human champions in the "Jeopardy!" quiz show, has been sifting through some 600,000 pieces of medical evidence, two million pages of text from 42 medical journals and clinical trials in oncology research.
This can speed up the way data is analyzed to make the best diagnosis and find the optimal treatment, says Craig Thompson, Sloan-Kettering's president.
"It can take years for the latest developments in oncology to reach all practice settings," Thompson said.
"The combination of transformational technologies found in Watson with our cancer analytics and decision-making process has the potential to revolutionize the accessibility of information for the treatment of cancer in communities across the country and around the world."
IBM first announced plans to work with WellPoint in 2011, and last year began receiving data from the New York research hospital which specializes in cancer.
The first application will work with 1,500 lung cancer cases, where clinicians and analysts are training Watson to extract and interpret physician notes, lab results and clinical research.
The Maine Center for Cancer Medicine and Westmed Medical Group will be two centers testing the service and providing feedback to WellPoint, IBM and Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
"IBM's work with WellPoint and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center represents a landmark collaboration in how technology and evidence based medicine can transform the way in which health care is practiced," said Manoj Saxena at IBM.
"These breakthrough capabilities bring forward the first in a series of Watson-based technologies, which exemplifies the value of applying big data and analytics and cognitive computing to tackle the industry's most pressing challenges."
The program is being commercialized under the name Interactive Care Insights for Oncology, powered by Watson.
Watson, named after IBM founder Thomas Watson, can ingest tens of million pages of data in just seconds.

I feel there is nothing wrong with the 1.3 tag for this release - after
all, it is a continuation of the 1.2 capabilities and it is a beta/unstable
test release...therefore an odd number in the release revision.
this is commona nd acceptable. just because 1.3 is a greater number,
it doesnt mean its better and should be used straight away.
> a new branch, shouldn't it be indicated as such. This way when the FreeBSD6 version is stable, it
could be released as 1.0.
how can you have a 1.0 release when we are already on 1.2? thats just
completely wrong logic.

Indian Prime Minister
The Trinamool Congress Party, a former Singh ally, said it would push for a vote of no confidence in the government when Parliament meets on Thursday over its move to allow foreign supermarket chains to hold a majority stake in retail outlets.
The main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party is planning a nationwide protest, targeting Mr Singh's administration over rising prices, graft and the retail plan.
His Congress Party needs to rally its 10-member ruling coalition and win support from parties outside the minority government to push through legislation that will also enable foreign companies to hold bigger stakes in insurance firms and invest in India's pension sector. Failure to win lawmakers' support could extend 24 months of policy paralysis.
This has contributed to India's growth slowing to near a three-year low and threatens to undermine the government ahead of elections due by May, 2014.
Overseas funds boosted holdings of rupee debt to a record $US32.9 billion last week, following Mr Singh's proposals to open up the economy and improve public finances.
India's economic expansion would accelerate to 6 per cent next year from 4.9 per cent in 2012, helped by a boost to confidence from the policy revamp, the International Monetary Fund said last month.
Trinamool, headed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, quit in September as Mr Singh's largest coalition ally to protest against the retail opening, saying the move would force small shopkeepers out of business and drive down prices paid to farmers.
The Communist Party has said it will back Trinamool in any confidence vote, while the BJP, whose support would be needed to defeat the government, will discuss its options at a meeting on Wednesday, party spokesman Prakash Javadekar said.
The group opposes Mr Singh's steps to attract more foreign direct investment.
Mr Singh has had talks with leaders of two parties whose backing could help him head off defeat in a no-confidence ballot.

Session origination also plays a role. For example, network sessions originating outside the local network could be considered higher risk. Sessions originating over the Internet would be considered riskier than those that come over dial-up connections, and so on. Companies with a demonstrated history of exploitation from certain foreign countries could classify data from those nations as an elevated risk.
The idea is to take all of these considerations and the security assurance provided by these three factors, then compare them to the data, service, or application being accessed. From there, a trust decision can be made. Situations where a weakly assured combination of factors is trying to access highly valuable data might result in a denial of access or at least stricter controls or greater logging and review.
For example, at Microsoft, we might allow employees with fully managed Windows 8 computers running Secure Boot, BitLocker, Direct Access, group policy, and smartcards to have full access to anything the user's permissions allow. But users accessing the corporate network over a traditional VPN on devices not capable of being managed or using encryption might be less trusted. Who knows? We might give less trust to a finger-swipe authenticator than to a smartcard authentication, even on the same device. Microsoft hasn't made every trust decision yet. But we have our factors and our framework, and we're building from an agreed-upon base. Your company should do the same.
That is, unless your company has decided to allow every device and identity equal access. It's an option, but I wouldn't want to try and prove the risk analysis to the board of directors.
Longtime readers will recognize this BYOD framework as a practical implementation of what I've been proposing for over five years in my "Fixing the Internet" whitepaper. Both the more sweeping Internet solution and the BYOD solution allow for different types of sessions. We're just saying they shouldn't be treated the same. The BYOD framework presented here is simply taking the one-dimensional trust decision -- conventionally based on on one identity authenticator -- and moving it to the more realistic multidimensional world that we should've always been using.
Computer malfeasance has always been accomplished based on the protections given by distance and device. We've always accounted for identity. Now let's start accounting for the other two.
This story, "How to have BYOD and security, too," was originally published at InfoWorld.com. Keep up on the latest developments in network security and read more of Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog at InfoWorld.com. For the latest business technology news, follow InfoWorld.com on Twitter.

Edinburgh has some of the best shopping in the region. We asked people visiting the city what bargains they'd picked up
Mats Gulbrandstas - Jenners is the best shop for menswear, and Thomas Pink too.
Lara Burt - I've bought my husband a lovely scarf from TM Lewin.
Rebecca Devaney - I've bought these Kurt Geiger shoes today for my auntie.
Kenneth Read and Rachel Atkinson - I've got this shirt as I have a wedding to go to.
Britney Teague - I'm visiting from Canada and I went to Harvey Nichols because they had a scarf I wanted that I couldn't get anywhere else. Edinburgh has much better shopping than Victoria in Canada where I'm from.

Gang Starr's Guru in Coma After Cardiac Arrest
Legendary Brooklyn MC Guru — half of the infamous hip-hop duo Gang Starr — is in a coma after suffering from cardiac arrest this weekend. Guru's sister broke the news explaining that her brother, real name Keith Elam, had to remain in the hospital due to complications from the heart attack.
Details remain scarce on the rapper's condition but DJ Premier, Gang Starr's second half, phoned into Sirius Satellite radio station Hip Hop Nation to confirm the details that have been leaked so far.
"Guru is in a coma and will go under surgery tomorrow afternoon," Premier said.
Guru — originally Keithy E. The Guru — formed the pioneering hip-hop group Gang Starr in the mid-80s, teaming with Premier in the late '80s. The Brooklyn based duo's debut album was 1989's 'No More Mr. Nice Guy,' and they went on to release several successful albums. Guru's solo work includes four volumes of the Jazzmatazz series and he later launched both Ill Kid Records and 7 Grand record labels.

April 1, 2010
COLUMBUS - Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today announced that the waitlists for home and community-based services funded through the Department of Aging, including PASSPORT, Assisted Living, Choices, and PACE, have been eliminated.
"Older Ohioans should have access to a spectrum of choices when deciding where they would like to receive medical and personal care services," Strickland said. "I appreciate the collaboration and hard work of Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Director Doug Lumpkin and Ohio Department of Aging Director Barbara Riley. Because of their efforts, Ohio senior citizens who prefer to remain in home or community care settings are no longer relegated to waitlists."
On February 22, Strickland called for the transfer of resources from ODJFS to the Department of Aging to pay for the elimination of the PASSPORT, Assisted Living and PACE program waiting lists. At the time, 592 Ohioans were on waitlists; today, those waitlists are clear.

Weird Al Shares "Word Crimes" Video
Weird Al just released a new song yesterday, right?
He did. It was called Tacky and poked fun at Pharrell's smash hit, Happy.
But, that was just the first song of Weird Al's #8Videos8Days project. He's releasing a video a day.
That means we have a new one today.
It's called Word Crimes and pokes fun at Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines. The point of the song is to mock people's inability to use proper grammar. It is pretty terrifying to write a post about that subject.

Welcome CARP Members!
We are very pleased to be the newest CARP Recommended partner and look forward to the opportunity to provide you with education around medical cannabis.
If you're considering medical cannabis as a treatment option for yourself or for a loved one, you probably have more questions than answers. The sheer volume of information available about cannabis can feel overwhelming, particularly because it's not always easy to identify what information comes from a credible source.
The information contained on the pages of this website is the result of many years gathering data and researching medical cannabis, and by working closely with doctors, patients and government regulators.
You will likely have more questions after reading the information here and your doctor, and our customer service team are both great sources for your continued investigation.
Start your medical cannabis education HERE by learning about the plant.
Medical Cannabis
Medical cannabis, also called medical marijuana, refers to the flowering head or "bud" of the female Cannabis sativa spp. indica plant and has become a well-recognized treatment option for the management of many medical conditions.
Only the producers licensed by Health Canada, CanniMed is one of these producers, can legally supply medical cannabis to patients and must comply with extensive quality, safety and security requirements.
At CanniMed Ltd., we are the only Canadian Licensed Producer following the strictest of manufacturing standards - Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) - the same standards and procedures followed by pharmaceutical companies. As a result, each and every bottle of our medical cannabis undergoes a 281-point quality control process.
Patients need to be aware that illegal marijuana cannot be trusted for purity and dose accuracy. Studies have shown that illegal marijuana can be plagued with very high levels of contaminants, including moulds. For immunocompromised patients this can be life threatening.
To learn about the different active ingredients in medical cannabis click HERE.
The active Ingredients: THC and CBD
Cannabinoids are the active chemical ingredients produced by the cannabis plant. More than 100 different cannabinoids have been identified, but research has focused on only two of them so far: delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).
THC is the substance known to cause the psychoactive effects or the "high" felt from cannabis. Scientific studies, as well as anecdotal evidence, suggest that THC is effective in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), functions as an appetite stimulant for HIV/AIDS patients, reduces nausea and vomiting from cancer treatment, helps patients with insomnia, inflammation and pain.
CBD lacks nearly any psychoactive effect and is showing promise with epilepsy, including children with a severe form called Dravet's Syndrome. CBD has also been used successfully by patients with genetic brain disorders, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and Parkinson's disease.
Trichomes under a Microscope
CBD also helps to make the "high" caused by THC more tolerable and can have an impact reducing the likelihood patients will experience paranoia or anxiety caused by THC.
Trichomes that grow on the outside of marijuana flowers contain the active ingredients in cannabis, including THC and CBD.

Why Cannabis Works – The endocannabinoid system
Every person has an endocannabinoid system, just like a nervous system and digestive system. The endocannabinoid system is involved in many processes in your body, including appetite, pain-sensation, mood and memory.
Your endocannabinoid system naturally produces chemicals similar to those found in cannabis. These chemicals work to pass messages between the brain and different parts of the body through your neurons and receptors.
Some medical ailments affect the proper functioning of the endocannabinoid system, which can lead to many of the symptoms that patients experience as part of their condition.
The cannabinoids introduced with medical cannabis (which are called phytocannabinoids) help to treat those symptoms by supplementing the endocannabinoids normally produced in your body, and subsidizing your endocannabinoid system as a whole.
This illustration demonstrates how the cannabinoids from cannabis subsidize the standard messages sent between the receptors in your neurons. The dots represent the locations in the body where cannabinoids act on the endocannabinoid system.

Medical Conditions
Medical cannabis is not for everyone, but it can be a good fit for patients suffering from serious chronic and terminal illness.
Medical cannabis shouldn't be seen as a cure for any disease. Instead, it is a medicine used to relieve the symptoms caused by a variety of different diseases and conditions. Sometimes conventional medications simply are not enough, and in those instances cannabis may have a role to play.
Much of the evidence we have to support the therapeutic value of cannabis comes from anecdotal reports, but there is a steadily growing body of published scientific study helping to bring cannabis more into the mainstream medical community.
Medical cannabis has been used by patients to treat thousands of diseases and conditions. Some of the more common include:
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Chronic pain
- Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
- Depression and anxiety
- Epilepsy
- Fibromyalgia
- Glaucoma
- HIV and AIDS (to stimulate appetite and produce weight gain)
- Insomnia
- Multiple sclerosis
- Muscle spasms
- Nausea and vomiting
- Neuropathic pain
- Parkinson's disease
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
We are proud of the products we have available for patients. Click HERE to learn more.
CanniMed Products
Most Licensed Producers have two main product types available – dried flower cannabis and edible cannabis oils.
To learn more about the production of our dried cannabis flower, take a look at this infographic that walks you through the entire product development process, including our industry-leading quality control program.
At CanniMed, we have carefully selected seven products to meet a wide range of medical needs and you will see that the name of each product was done specifically to ensure that our patients and their doctors know the exact concentration of THC and CBD they are using.
Recently, Health Canada has expanded the products we are permitted to sell to patients to include edible cannabis oils. To start we have decided on the following three products, and they will be available shortly.
Learn more about how to access medical cannabis HERE
Application Process
As of April 2014, Health Canada changed the process in order to acquire medical cannabis in Canada. In most instances the process has become much more streamlined and consistent.
Who can prescribe?
Under Health Canada's Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR), which are the rules governing the medical cannabis industry in Canada, only an authorized healthcare practitioner can prescribe cannabis to patients.
Physicians are recognized as authorized healthcare practitioners in every Canadian province and territory, as long as they are in good standing with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. This includes your general practitioner or family doctor, as well as specialists including oncologists and rheumatologists.
Nurse practitioners are technically allowed to prescribe medical cannabis, but currently no provincial nurse practitioner college or association has allowed their members to do so. This may change over the months and years to come, however.
Learn the questions to ask your doctor HERE
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Do as much research as you can on medical cannabis as a treatment for your particular condition before you book an appointment with your doctor. If you can find evidence that medical cannabis has helped other people with your condition, print out the study or article and bring it with you. A scholarly journal or academic study will be your best evidence, but less formal sources like patient testimonials or blog posts can also be helpful.
Clearly identify the symptoms you feel can be better managed with medical cannabis. Make a list of the medicines and therapies you have already tried and mark which have, and which have not, worked. Medical cannabis is often prescribed when conventional medicine just isn't enough.
Here are some questions that you can ask your doctor during your visit:
- Given my condition, could medical cannabis be a valid treatment for me?
- Is medical cannabis safe for me to use?
- Will taking medical cannabis affect my other medications?
- What are the side effects?
If you doctor is not comfortable prescribing medical cannabis, ask if he or she would be willing to refer you to a specialist or cannabinoid clinic.
There is a three step application process to get access to medical cannabis. Details are available HERE, including all of the forms you will need.
The Application Process
There are three easy steps to complete your registration with CanniMed, or any other Licensed Producer. If you have any questions during your application contact us toll free at 1-855-787- 1577 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance.
Forms can be filled out on your computer and then printed or they can be printed and then filled in by hand. CanniMed also accepts Health Canada's forms and forms from other licensed producers. If you don't have access to a computer, CanniMed would be pleased to mail the forms to you.
Please click on the form (A, B or C) that is applicable to you to download and fill out.
The Medical Document specifies the dosage and which products may be used. Similar to a prescription, it is completed by your doctor.DOWNLOAD MEDICAL DOCUMENT
A photocopy of form A, B, or C is acceptable and they may be emailed (photo or scan), faxed or sent by mail or courier to CanniMed.
The original Medical Document, however, is required to be sent to CanniMed by mail or courier. Contact CanniMed for a free, postage paid, pre-addressed envelope for your convenience.
Alternatively, your doctor can fax us a copy of the medical document directly from their office.

Under his deal with Warner Bros. TV, Kevin Williamson who is mastermind behind the vampire show, is told to develop a new series for The CW.
Kevin Williamson, the man behind "The Vampire Diaries", is developing a new show which sources referred to as a "companion" for the CW series. The untitled project is still in "early stages of development" and is likely not making it to the upcoming pilot season.
Deadline said it is a cross between "The X-Files" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and would focus on a group of people investigating paranormal happenings. The development is brewing at Warner Bros. TV for The CW.
Despite claimed as a companion series, sources said the pilot will not air as an episode of "Vampire Diaries" nor will any of the vampire series' cast would appear on the new show. E! Online said the project is still currently considered as "separate entity".
Williamson recently signed with WB TV and this show is under the overall deal. Rumor has it, he would bring his "Vampire Diaries" partner Julie Plec to write for the pilot.
Despite breaking their time for another show, Williamson and Plec are all-prepared for a long season of "The Vampire Diaries". Nina Dobrev said in an interview with Dose, "They've got a plan and I'm so confident in them. I know they've got a good, long plan for the show."
