I rent econoboxes from Hertz several times a month for business travel. All I need is basic transportation and usually my rental cars don't make any impression on my mind. They are useful for what I need at the time, but are unremarkable, interchangeable, and unrememberable. Sort of like the girls I dated in high school.
This week Hertz gave me a Prius. And for the first time I found myself absolutely hating my rental car.
It's not the pick-up, acceleration or any other car-handling issue. In that category I find the Prius about the same as other nameless econoboxes. As an aggressive driver I had no problem passing and cutting off people, rabbit starting from lights and cutting over two lanes in front of other cars, or doing three-lane exits off the highway at 70 miles an hour. Not as good as my Beemer, of course, but definitely good enough to piss off pansy drivers who don't understand that you never leave open space between you and the car ahead of you.
What is horribly, horribly wrong with the Prius is the control system for the radio, climate control, etc. They all come through a common display, which is "off" until you want to do something. So going down the highway at 70 and weaving through traffic you have to fiddle through a tree of commands just to tune the radio or turn down the AC. And the interior seems cheap, much cheaper than the usual economy car.
Then there is the constant humming noise coming out of the engine block. At first I thought there was a window slightly opened, but then I realized the windows were up and the noise is almost always in the car. Only when the engine is idle (I suppose in electric mode - which was rare the way I drive) does the noise go away. It is truly annoying and even turning up the radio (once I found the controls) didn't make it go away.
So after comparing to any other car, there is no way anyone in their right mind should buy it. But people do, all because they can feel better about themselves about having a hybrid. And don't say that it is about saving money, as several studies have shown that what you save on gas never makes up the higher investment of the Prius over an economy car (say a Hyundai).

I consider myself warned. Thank you.
But you left out the most important reason not to have one: ipso ergo, I don't want people to look at me and think that I am a politically correct person who lets the elites make my decisions for me.

I've been pretty pleased with the Hyundai Sonatas I've rented. They've come a long way.

Anyone on PS4 ? I have one, and both myself and @lounatic are on it. My PSN is spiritdave if anyone wants to add me. Throw a message in to say you're from SG :)
I went to see Guns N' Roses in London the other day. They were so fucking great. Was the best gig I've ever been to. I am a huge fan and Slash is basically my idol. Which is pathetic and sad but hey, I love rock guitar and no one does it better in my opinion. I enjoyed it a huge amount. It was...

Sorry guys and gals, but regardless of the enjoyment and feeling you get from it, even the best marijuana smells like a dead rat's asshole. Not that I know what that smells like, but I'm guessing like weed.
I'm sure guys do it too, but SG is filled with girls I follow, so I see it a lot. Please, if anyone knows why it's done, enlighten me. As gorgeous as all of the girls are that I have seen doing these videos, I just don't get why the sound is on, and the video just consists of the girl staring...

I've noticed an awful lot of shockingly bad music blasting from the speakers of some SG's lately. A lot of what I call anti-music. As in, just some repetitive sample based beat and looping bad chorus line. Is this a fashion thing? I'm behind on fashions in music. I just know that it's excruciatingly horrible to listen to 😂
So fucking tired. Work has been crazy lately. So much to do, so much to deal with. I'm working while @lounatic plays FallOut 4 beside me ... Lucky girl. I wish I was playing games and chilling for a bit. Her sanctuary is looking rather tidy tho. She spends more time cleaning and decorating her settlements than she does missions :D

What is VPS Hosting?
To fulfill the need for budget, but reliable hosting services, providers initiated a transitional website hosting solution - the virtual private web server. This is a virtual simulation of a hosting server that works just like a dedicated servers hosting and is much more powerful than any shared site hosting solution. At the same time, as a lot of accounts are hosted on the same physical hosting server and each user pays for their account, the price for a private virtual server web hosting solution is significantly lower than the price for a dedicated web server. A small-scale VPS hosting account is a bit more high-priced than the most feature-rich shared web page hosting account, but its system resources excel by far those of the shared web hosting account.
Virtual Web Server Virtualization Consoles: OpenVZ and Virtuozzo
Each given account is isolated from the remaining accounts on the server, so each virtual web hosting server can run a different Operating System and be rebooted independently from the other ones. The VPSs are administered via a virtualization console where users can take a glimpse at all running tasks and terminate or restart them, update server-side software, have a glimpse at the used up and the remaining system resources, and much more. OpenVZ, Virtuozzo, Virtual PC and VMware are merely a few instances of software platforms utilized for setting up and managing Virtual Private Server web hosting accounts. They have various requirements in relation to the central processing unit architecture, the OSs they support, and so on. For instance, Virtuozzo can function on machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be installed on a server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and permits both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the concrete private virtual web servers.
Managed Virtual Private Server Hosting Services
The virtualization panel offers the user the freedom to manage the VPS server autonomously from the web hosting provider, sparing you the time you'd have waited for their customer support team to restart a given service or retrieve a backup. If the user is not proficient, however, a handful of top hosting corporations like 100webspace offer a voluntary upgrade that encompasses Operating System and software installation and update procedures, virtual private web server backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. The impressive feature with 100webspace is that there are several virtual hosting server datacenter facility locations to pick from: the United States, England and Australia.
CPs for Virtual Private Hosting Servers
The domain and the web content on the private virtual web server are handled through a web site hosting Control Panel user interface, similar to a traditional shared website hosting plan's. The distinction is that with shared hosting plans, users receive one particular webspace hosting CP, while with a virtual private hosting server plan, web hosting providers usually present a number of site hosting CPs to select from, and the more knowledgeable users can install and avail of the web space hosting CP they desire. Some virtualization systems support installing a web page hosting Control Panel through them to render it simpler for the client. Unfortunately, the majority of the webspace hosting CPs are not free of cost. Some demand a monthly fee (cPanel requests $13 USD/month, have a glimpse at BuycPanel.com), while others require a licence fee (DirectAdmin). There are other site hosting Control Panels that limit the amount of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we address site hosting CP-supplied private virtual servers, it's good to mention that, by default, all VPS web hosting accounts distributed by 100webspace are fitted out with the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel. It includes unmetered hosted domain name quotas. Hepsia is offered at no additional licence cost, hence the monthly cost of the Virtual Private Server package picked by the client does not alter. Last, but not least, Hepsia probably includes the finest Domain Manager on the web page hosting Control Panel market.
CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered Virtual Private Server Hosting Packages
The Control Panel interface allows users to handle domains, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and e-mail accounts, to see traffic and load logs and to monitor comprehensive stats about the utilized and the free system resources. Similar to the virtualization panels, the hosting Control Panels are created to run under a specific Operating System. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most popular Control Panels, performs solely under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is developed by the very same company, performs only under Windows. Other web page hosting Control Panels such as Plesk and Hepsia support several OSs. Hepsia supports the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of given web hosting Control Panels over others is that they have several levels of control - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level can access a different set of functionalities controlling the levels below, so it is simple to establish a hosting reseller website and commence making money by offering web hosting plans to other individuals. As clients will be informed about what amount of the resources is used up, but will not be able to view the real figures, even a small private virtual server hosting package will suffice to set up a small site hosting company and collect capital.
The Virtual Web Hosting Server: an Independent, Economical Solution
A virtual web hosting server is a comparatively cheap web hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support web portals such as a highly visited online store or a large corporate site. As its management is easy, it is the preferred pick of both tyros and experienced clients.

- Omar and the Howlers, "Hard Times in the Land of Plenty"
Sad news in the Austin music world came this week when Barry "Frosty" Smith passed away. To say that his musical resume was impressive would be an understatement. He played with Soulhat, Alejandro Escovedo, Roky Erickson, and Omar & The Howlers, to name a few. Condolences to his family, friends, and fans.
- Vandoliers, "Rolling Out"
Time for some happier news, agreed? Announce of an upcoming Vandoliers album definitely counts as happy news. The first single from The Native shows the band's commitment to cranking out high-energy country party jams has not wavered one iota.
- Leather Girls, "She"
The Ghost was really proud of himself for discovering Austin garage rockers Leather Girls. I felt a real sense of bragging rights coming on for The Ghost when you, my readers, ate up the delicious rock n' roll licks of songs like "She". Yes, I thought I'd be the first Dallasite to have discovered this Austin find. Then, last night, I discovered that King Camel has already booked Leather Girls at Armoury D.E. on June 17th. Dammit, Jeffrey!!!
- Farah, "The Only Ones"
I remember a time when Farah was making quite a bit of buzz on blogs like We Shot Jr. and even Gorilla vs. Bear. The singer has returned with a brand new single on the label Italians Do It Better. Farah's vocals border on feeling icy, or at the least emotionally disconnected, yet that's part of what makes this song so uniquely captivating.
- Atlantis Aquarius, "Full Moon"
I have a feeling that tracks from the Atlantis Aquarius EP are going to be staples on the Sunday Spotify 16 for awhile. If anyone has a problem with that, then too bad.
- Joe Gorgeous, "The Matter"
I'm late on the game regarding Joe Gorgeous. My bad.
- Mantra Love, "Strawberry Milk"
I've found it harder to keep in the loop of the Houston Music scene more than any other major music scene in the state. Here's a really cool, lo-fi psychedelic pop nugget I discovered out of the city. The almost out of tune intro that recurs throughout the song is so spot on.
- Siamese, "Hounds at Sunset"
There will be plenty of great record store day events happening Saturday, but there can only be one Good Records Record Store Day. The venue celebrates the 10th Record Store Day (along with their own 17th birthday) with a massive lineup featuring MC 900 Ft. Jesus, Charley Crockett, Cure for Paranoia, and The Texas Gentlemen, among others. You'll be able to catch this band taking the stage at 7 pm.
- Jibe, "We've Only Just Begun"
When Jibe reunited about two years ago, I often wondered whether the band would just be reliving their glory days or continuing their recording career. The answer to my question came this week, when Jibe released the video to their new single, "We've Only Just Begun". It's good to hear new music from the band. What's really impressive, however, is that the song does not come off as a desperate but failed attempt at a band recapturing the best of times. In fact, "We've Only Just Begun" is more than a song title, but a declaration from the band that they can rock out as hard as ever.
- The Crystal Furs, "Weightless"
The Crystal Furs' timing on their album release was arguably not the best. Their self-titled release came out the day after Christmas, a time when new releases usually get overlooked. Add on top of that the absence of any GOBL posts the first two months of the year, and that only added to the album getting as much attention as it deserves. Well, here's me bring a little attention to the album's first single. I would also point your attention to the band's Popluck Festival, happening June 17th at Shipping & Receiving. The event also features Grammar, The Hendersons, Lindby, Svenny Baby!, and Ronnie Heart DJ'ing the event. On top of that, Popluck will help raise food and funds for the Tarrant Area Food Bank.
- Rob Case, "The Stalker Song"
Singer-songwriter Rob Case has created an oddly charming track with "The Stalker Song". Yes, I do realize how creepy it sounds to refer to a song titled "The Stalker Song" as charming. And yet, it fits. Listen, and you may get what I'm saying.
- Corner Suns, "Sleep"
I was beginning to wonder if Idol Records was boycotting Spotify, and that's why none of their catalog was available for streaming. This week, Central track reported that the company that distributed Idol tracks to Spotify went out of business. Fortunately, the label's songs are all back on Spotify again. I can now finally add some Corner Sons to my playlists.
- Cameron Matthew Ray, "Anymore"
CMR's new EP, Love and Space, is finally available online. If you want a physical copy, plus the opportunity to see him perform live, check him out this Saturday at Cinderblock Sessions.
- Feeves, "Casual"
NeonNoah may be over, but former member Esteban Flores has already established a new project, Feeves. There's a definite stylistic difference between the two acts, but the pop sensibility remains the same.
- Memri, "This Kiss"
The other week, I gave a shout out to Jaimee Harris, through whom I've learned about many Austin acts. Someone closer to home who shares cool local acts with me is Mikey "Frenchtoast" Branton (Sex Regrets, ex-Monkeysphere). It's because of him that I discovered Denton based Memri. I'm not sure how to describe the band's sound, and as a rule, that's usually a good sign in The Ghost's book.
- Beth // James, "Bring Your Fire to Me"
Equal parts longing and desperation, this song is intensely beautiful. It's the kind of track that words can't appropriately capture the emotion for, so I'm just gonna shut up and let you feel it.

and don't have to wait for a salesperson to help them. Also, it's often more comfortable to visit a website, because there is no obligation. Visitors don't feel pressured.
A website
helps you stay in contact with potential customers.
Frequently people who are interested in what you have to offer, but they might not be ready to buy right now. You need to stay in contact with them so that you immediately come to mind when they ARE ready. A website is a great way to facilitate this. You can use your website to collect email addresses from visitors. Then you can periodically send out promotional emails or a newsletter.
Staying in contact keeps your company fresh in visitors' minds.
:: Myth Versus Reality of the Internet :::
Building a good website is as easy as it looks.
Are you kidding me? There are glitches galore; it's time-consuming and takings technical knowledge to get it to work on more the one browser type. You can take control of your website by doing it yourself, but it can be a big black hole into which all your time goes. If you haven't been scared off yet, good. If you have the time, technical ability, and the patience, by all means, do it yourself. Otherwise, hire an expert to do it for you.
A ton of traffic to my website is going to make me wealthy.
Many of the inquiries you get don't really pay anything. Most of the people coming to the site want something for nothing - which is fine. Selling products directly to consumers just doesn't happen unless they have a strong interest in what you are selling and seeking you out to your product. Target marketing is where you can get these kinds of visitors. Getting your website address to people interested in buying from you is key to selling your items online.
Once I get my site up and list it with search engines, I will be busy.
Build it and there is a one-in-a-zillion chance they will come. There are zillions of sites now, and getting people to find you is hard. It is not easy to improve your search engine listings; you have to work at it. You still have to promote yourself and your site the old-fashioned way. Building the site is only the beginning.
:: Are You Cross-Browser Compatible? :::
By Matt Benya - SitePro News
The question of cross browser compatibility is a common topic among Web developers. Should you or should you not make your website cross-browser accommodating? The answer is yes and especially if you are an e-business. As Ripley would say, "believe it or not" but at the time of this article slightly more than 20% of Internet users use a browser other than Internet Explorer. This information comes from
, which has been keeping tabs on browser usage since January 2002.
How Do You Shape Up?
Use of alternative browsers has only been going up, they are no longer a niche community made up of "techies" and anti-Microsoft advocates, they are your everyday user, your potential customers.
If you haven't done so already I would suggest that you look at your website in some of the other common browsers available. These include:
This is currently the top browser after IE6 and it is one of the most feature rich browsers available today. I would personally suggest looking into Firefox Mozilla's next generation browser as opposed to the entire Mozilla suite due to its end user friendliness and feature rich environment.
The Opera browser has been making its way up the competitive ladder of the browser arena since 2000 when Opera Software ASA released Opera 5. Though it is free to download and use, if you want to access some of the browser's features you are required to pay a small registration fee.
Since Netscape provided the code base for Mozilla in 1998 when they made the source code for their flag ship product Netscape Communicator open-source there is little difference between the two browsers. Still it doesn't hurt to see how things shape up between the two, and since they are ultimately two different browsers checking them both is not a bad idea.
Additionally there are programs available that can test your site for you in different browsers and screen resolutions and return their findings. One such program is
Browser Photo
from NetMechanic.
What Can You Do?
Okay so lets say that our site www.ihaveanerror.com comes up with a couple of errors that cause it to render incorrectly when we look at it in some of the alternative browsers. How are we going to fix the problem? Well the first thing we want to do is stay away from any propriety html tags a certain browser type might offer. These tags will only work properly in the browser they are designed for and may cause trouble for you in others. An example of a proprietary tag would be "marquee" in Internet Explorer.
This is an example of a marquee.
Another thing you should make a habit of is to validate your pages through the
World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C for short). Founded in 1994 the W3C has made it its obligation to guide the development of the Web and create a common basis to build upon. One of the services that the W3C offers is syntax validation. This is a useful tool when you are trying to ensure that your visitors will get roughly the same experience when they visit your site. Validation is easy, select the language your site was designed in and use their free validation tools to track down any errors that might occur. If there is an error in your source code the validation system will highlight it and provide you with possible solutions for correcting it.
Why should you conform your site to the World Wide Web Consortium's guidelines? The answer is that it is these guidelines that browser developers use as a basis to display pages on the Web. While browsers like Mozilla conform strictly to the W3C's guidelines, Internet Explorer is more relaxed. In fact Internet Explorer will render just about anything you throw at it. You can leave out the tags, tags, or forget to close a tag all together and IE will 9 times out of 10 be able to work with what you give it.
The final word, most likely not...
Remember the saying "you can't please everyone"? The same holds true in the world of Internet browsers. It would be pretty much impossible to make your site render the same way on each and every browser available. This, however, is not the goal; the goal is to make your site useable by the most common browsers thus reaching the largest audience possible. If something fails horribly under certain browsers then it is a good time to rethink your design and find another way to approach the issue. If your site is known to only work under Internet Explorer and it is your desire to leave it this way, then it is good practice to let your visitors know this in advance. They will be much more likely to switch browsers (if possible) and come back to your site, if you let them know ahead of time rather than letting them walk into an unusable page or badly formatted site. Don't forget presentation is everything.

:: Top 5 Secrets To Loading Your Web Site With Traffic Boosting Content! ::
By Ewen Chia - SitePro News
Successful webmasters and marketers agree: words rule the web!
Nothing beats fresh, keyword rich content for attracting search engine spiders, live visitors and repeat visitors. But there's just
obstacle for the newbie web publisher though...
It takes a lot of work to write all the content on your own.
Well, the good news is that you don't have to create all of this content yourself!
In fact, you can load up your web site with top notch articles, news, cartoons and a whole lot more when you simply outsource your content.
If you've ever wondered how the experts load up their web sites so quickly, then today is your lucky day...I'm about to show you their top 5 secret resources...Act on this information right away and you'll have quality content published before dinner time, guaranteed!
Secret Resource #1: RSS Feeds
RSS Feeds are currently the hot commodity on the web. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" and describes a technology that allows web sites to syndicate, or distribute, their content among other sites. Maybe you're already familiar with news syndication sources like Reuters and the Associated Press? RSS parallels this concept and brings it online.
Content syndication provides an ideal solution for the cost and time conscious internet marketer. You can load your site with relevant business and marketing articles and reap significant rewards.
Syndicated articles attract the search engines to your site in two important ways. The first and most obvious fact is that more content and more keywords = better rankings, period. Second, you boost the value of your incoming and outgoing links - a very important element in the eyes of Google's page rank algorithm.
If you're totally new to RSS, then visit the following two sites to brush up on your knowledge. They will educate you a bit more on how RSS works and what you need to do to implement it on your site:
MNot RSS Tutorial
Here's a starter list of marketing related feeds available for immediate syndication:
Wilson Web Syndicated Content
Search Engine Watch News Feed
Shelley Lowery's Web Source.Net
There are plenty of other resources out there. Spend some quality time surfing your favorite marketing sites and see if they have syndication available.
If you want to exploit RSS quickly and easily and get the most benefits out of the technology without taking forever, then you'd find these extremely useful:
Express RSS
RSS Equalizer
Secret Resource #2: Static Article Syndication Sites
One of the tried and true methods for building a name online is to write and publish your own articles. Thousands of writers submit articles each day to article syndication sites.
The trade off is simple: web site and e-zine publishers are granted permission to re-print these articles as long as they remain unchanged from the original and the writer's by-line is kept intact. The publisher wins by getting free content, and the writer wins whenever someone new sees their by-line and clicks on their URL.
Some of the top sources for finding free, re-printable articles can be found at:
Marketing Words
Idea Marketers
Market Position Newsletter
Those should get you off to a good start. If you need more resources, just do a search on "reprint articles" in your favorite search engine or download a copy of the Alexa toolbar and scout out the related links that pop up for each site you visit.
And if you desire to create your own articles for traffic and profit, take a look at this amazingly good resource:
Secret Resource #3: Paying for Premium Content
You know the saying, "You get what you pay for". By far, the most comprehensive database of premium marketing and business content comes from this one source:
Marketing Sherpa
Content is divided into two specialty libraries: the Case Studies Library and the Practical Marketing Knowledge Library. The Case Studies Library profiles both large and mid-sized businesses and dives into marketing experiments on such topics as email marketing, business-to-business marketing, branding, subscriber base conversion and a whole lot more.
The Practical Marketing Knowledge library features over 250 articles and interviews with experts sharing step-by-step marketing plans.
If you would like to license Marketing Sherpa content for re-distribution, you'll need to contact OSKAR Consulting courtesy of Elizabeth Karolczak. She can be reached via email at email@example.com, or via telephone at 1.650.625.1780. If she's unavailable, simply ask to speak with an Electronic Licensing Representative.
Secret Resource #4: Hire a Ghost Writer
When you hire a ghostwriter, or freelancer, you can have custom content created for your site. Your writer will pump out articles on any topic you specify and you get to put your name on the finished product!
The best way to hire a writer is to bid for his or her services. This allows you to negotiate the best deal for your budget if expense is an issue.
Here's where to find and hire ghostwriters:
To discover the real secrets to getting tons of ghostwriters begging you to take their content, go to:
Ghostwriting Goldmine
Secret Resource #5: Your Own Web Visitors and Ezine Subscribers
What better way to generate content and develop a sense of community among your visitors than having them contribute to your site or ezine?
One shining example of this tactic in action comes from my friend, Willie Crawford, owner of
. The site focuses on southern cooking recipes, but this tactic should work for internet marketing based sites as well.
Each week, Willie's ezine subscribers submit dozens of recipes. He takes the best of the best and highlights them in each issue of the newsletter. You could do the same by soliciting your subscribers for articles, tips, product recommendations or even case studies on their own marketing efforts.
You simply edit the content for style, grammar and length, then toss a few of your own comments to add some flow to the presentation. This takes a minimal amount of effort and you produce a great publication that people want to read because they get to see themselves in print.
These 5 secret sources represent just the tip of the iceberg.
Content is plentiful if you know where to look. The best part is that it takes about half the time and effort to track down quality sources as it does to produce the content all on your own, meaning...
...Be a smart marketer and outsource!

This was a highly specialised area several years ago but with the introduction of small portable solar scopes this type of solar observing has now become very popular. With these types of filters we are viewing the Sun using a specific light by using a "interference" filter. This type of filter blocks all other wavelengths of light passing only the a tiny part of the solar spectrum. We can see the Sun in Hydrogen-A (red light) or Calcium-K (blue light). Filters that work in this way are often referred to as "narrowband" filters.
Remember that to get a complete picture of solar activity it is worth watching the Sun in white light using either projection of a full aperture solar filter so that you can see the sunspots clearly.
Hydrogen alpha (H-a or H-alpha) is in the red end of the visible solar spectrum (at 656.3nm). By using a specially-made combination of small telescope and interference filter we are able to see (and image) solar prominences, filaments, plages and occasionally flares on the Sun that otherwise would remain invisible.
Calcium-K (or CaK) telescopes allow you to image the Sun in the blue light of Calcium (393.4nm) also by using a specially-made combination of small telescope and interference filter. Because the image is so near the UV region of the solar spectrum some people cannot see the image clearly but it can be imaged with a camera.
The Hydrogen-alpha filter (and scope) like those shown above will show you:
Prominences: These are clouds of luminous hot hydrogen gas seen projecting off of the edge (or limb) of the Sun. Prominences are bright because they are seen in emission against a dark sky background. As we are looking at the Sun through an interference filter that allowing us to see features that are emitting nearly all their light at the wavelength of 6563 Angstroms the prominences appear red.
Prominences come in two main types: quiescent (quiet) or eruptive. Prominences can last days or appear and disappear in hours. You will often see a number of descriptions such as: "hedgerow-type" prominence, or "smoke-stack" prominence, "mound" or "spike" prominence. These are widely-used descriptive terms used by observers to convey the general shape of a prominence with reference to terrestrial objects.
Filaments: These are ribbon-like features see against the solar disk. They are the same as prominences but are seen against the bright solar disk so they appear dark by contrast. Sometimes at the solar limb we can observe a prominence against the sky and a filament on the disk if that feature is large enough to stretch from the limb and onto the Sun's disk.
Plages: Also seen in the image to the right are plages. These are the bright areas visible around sunspots while observing in H-alpha light.
Flares: These are bright, occasionally very bright, points of light or ribbons of bright light usually seen near sunspots on the solar disk.
Flares usually last for about 10-20 minutes depending on the flare strength. The strength of solar flares are usually reported as: A-B-class, C-class, M-class and X-class. A-B-class are not reported as they are very common and the weakest type of solar flare. C-class are slightly more powerful, M-class are stronger and X-class are the strongest. Often these classes are sub-divided by using a numbering system from 1 to 9 (so we might see the term: "M7-class solar flare" for example. The exception is X-class where the numbering can go beyond 9.
We also now have Calcium light filters (often referred to as "CaK") but they can only really be used with an imaging camera as our eyes are not good at seeing light at the deep blue-end of the solar spectrum.
|This image, taken in the blue light of calcium shows the region immediately above the solar Photosphere (the lower Chrosmosphere). The very bright areas seen here in the image are closely associated with the sunspots (just visible in the picture).
Should you need advice on choosing and using these filters please email me.

Carrot Zucchini Walnut Cake
Recipe by katedanger
I created this recipe one day to satisfy several cravings. There are several shortcuts possible to make this recipe faster to make. For example, buying carrots already shredded then chopping them finer in a food processor would work fine. The flax/water mixture can be replaced by one medium sized banana, though I have not tested it for taste.
Top Review by Robin T.
FANTASTIC Vegan cake. I made this in my bundt pan last week. I only had 1 cup of carrots and rest was zucchini, and I cut down a 1/4 of the sugar. Wow. Perfect and moist and yummy. My friends all said it was the best zucchini bread they have ever eaten, and vegan to boot. Everyone had seconds. Keeper!!!!
See Discussion:1 Review

Designer to Know (And Sleep With): Yolke
Posted on March 29, 2017
A few months ago, I heard about Yolke sleepwear while trolling the inter webs for client items, and have kept them on my radar ever since. The designer hasn't been around long (founded in 2013). But, they have been gaining momentum quickly with their bright hues and fantastic fabrics.
I have always been envious of my friends who can sleep in cute sets and actually sleep. I don't know if it's me, but the sets I tried felt restrictive. So, when I saw Yolke, I decided to test-drive a pair for myself and see if these would do the trick. Really, the lovely patterns suckered me in. The prints are just gorgeous. When I got the pajamas and tried them on, I loved that these were silk pajamas with a good amount of stretch – such a plus!
The sleepwear itself has many prints and silhouettes. But, I'm a total pants girl when I sleep. Another plus is the cropped length offered on the pants. The cropped pant is great because I am not that tall and, you know, occasionally I have to chase a dog or one of our cats through the yard or down the street, and my pant hems stay clean.
Another great thing about these pajamas, the prints are so artistically beautiful (they even make sequin PJ's, heyyyy) that you can totally try them as a day look. Wear them together to be fashion forward. Or, separate and pair with what's in your closet. But I plan on wearing my sets out and about, so fair warning!
While these pajamas are a tad pricey ($200 +), they do hold up well if you take care of them. They also make a brilliant gift for Mother's Day, holiday, birthdays, etc. I imagine it would be such a treat to be gifted these lovelies.

Annakoot — Mountain of food — is celebrated in observance of the episode in Sri Krishna's childhood, in which He gave protection to the cowherd clan of Vrindavan from the wrath of Indra and humbled Indra in that process. The cowherd, their wives, children and cattle jubilantly surrounded Sri Krishna. They were awed by His superhuman accomplishment and celebrated Sri Krishna's feat with a sumptuous feast. Thus began the tradition of Annakoot.
Gaudiya Math (গৌড়ীয় মঠ) in Allahabad celebrates Annakoot every year. Math (pronounced as Mutt) is a Hindu monastic organisation. Baba — Jaya's father — planned to visit the temple at the Gaudiya Math with all the family members for the Govardhan Puja. It's the next day after Diwali. This year, it's celebrated on October 24. Baba is a regular visitor at this ashram. The main purpose of Gaudiya Math is to spread Gaudiya Vaishnavism, the philosophy of the medieval Vaisnava saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, through preaching and publishing.
The Annakoot or the Govardhan Puja celebrations take place on the first day of the month of Kartik which is the first month of the Hindu new year — Vikrami Samvat. The Monsoon season has come to an end and new harvest has been brought in from the fields and grains and cereals are plentiful. To thank the Lord for the good year that has just ended, plenty of delicious foods are prepared and offered to the Supreme Lord.
Krishna spent most of his childhood in Braj, a place devotees associate with many of Krishna's divine and heroic exploits with his childhood friends. One of the most significant incidents, described in the Bhagavata Purana, involves Krishna lifting Mount Govardhan, a low hill situated in the middle of Braj. According to the Bhagavata Purana, forest-dwelling cowherds living close to Govardhan used to celebrate the autumn season by paying respect to Indra, the god of rain and storm. Krishna did not approve of this since he desired that the villagers not pray to distant gods but rather give appreciation to avatar of God present before them. He therefore initiated a festival that paid respect to Mount Govardhan by preparing a 'giriyajna' – a "great offering of foods and delicacies to the mountain" Krishna then assumed the form of a mountain himself and accepted the villagers' offerings. Indra was angered upon seeing the villagers' devotion diverted away from him and toward Krishna. and directed a lightning storm and a torrential downpour upon the village for days. To protect the villagers from this calamity, Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan on his pinky finger to and had the entire village come under the hill to take shelter from the storm. Indra, after causing torrential rains for seven days, ultimately gave up and bowed to Krishna's superiority. This story is one of the most recognizable in the Bhagavata Purana.
The devotees gathered in the temple, listened to religious discourse given by the Swamiji Maharaj and sang bhajans and kirtans. A communal worship in the form of an Aarti was performed.
We all sat on the floor of the temple hall with other devotees in rows and enjoyed the Annakoot prasad, and bhog offered to Lord Krishna. We prayed to Lord Krishna and returned home. Baba was very happy that we all family members went to the temple and had the prasad and bhog.
May Lord Krishna bless us all!

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed a Department of Energy (DOE) contractor's reserve data revisions for Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 1, an oil field jointly owned by the federal government and an oil company.
GAO found that: (1) the revised data was inaccurate and outdated because the contractor was unable to conduct technical field analyses within the contract period; (2) the contractor used inadequately detailed and inaccurate geological maps; (3) the contractor could not accurately estimate the extent of fluid migration between oil pools; (4) the contractor outlined 33 additional studies that were needed and DOE initiated work on 11 of those studies; (5) DOE and the oil company were planning further exploratory drilling and conducting experiments to develop additional recovery techniques; (6) DOE had not obtained data required for reevaluation of ownership shares; and (7) the contractor's economic development and production plan estimates were questionable, because they depended on certain assumptions regarding future operations.

Digital Pictures, For Higher or Worse
Do you keep in mind that the first digital cameras you noticed? Did you even cease to contemplate the images course of and the changes that may happen as a result of a brand new way? AlMost definitely now not. Now Not unless the popular use of digital cameras has the process of digital pictures been a topic of any passion. Now, we all are shopping for digital cameras, and must learn the ABC's of digital photography.
In contrast to traditional pictures, the advent of digital utilizes "pixels" to regulate color content material, clarity and the quality of the image. Each picture consists of a whole lot of pixels. These pixels are small sq. items of colour, that after put collectively produce the picture captured on the digicam. reCall to mind pixels as items of a puzzle. Each and Every piece of the puzzle comprises a small portion of the colour and object, that once locked together form the a lot greater complete. Digital pictures bargains the professional photographer a much broader scope of choices than conventional methods. Changes can also be made to just a small part of a photograph quite than having to alter the whole heritage, topic coloration, or different full coloring of an object in the photo.
Digital images is not new, but it's new to the typical consumer. Mavens had been reaping the advantages of digital photographs for a number of years. It is only because the explosive increase of computer systems, alternatively, that digital photography has change into a realistic method of pictures for almost everyone. Now, John Q. Public can use his digital camera and upload his photos onto the pc. It is here that any real benefit of digital pictures, from a personal standpoint, ends. For many of the footage we take of our domestic and chums, we don't want skilled quality images. We identical to the ease and convenience of taking the picture, uploading and printing in a topic of minutes. Using digital pictures today is for essentially the most section, a substitute of the outdated Polaroid of the 70s.
There may be some irony here. Isn't it simply par for the pure course of things? Something as beneficial and complicated as digital images is solely the everyday solution to the Polaroid. The true advantages of digital pictures are lost on most people. Digital photography allows us to dissect a picture. Very similar to investigators can dissect the items of a murder case, we are able to inspect the items of an image. Once once more, the actual advantage is realized and liked most effective by the professional photographer, now not your subsequent door neighbor.
The closing piece of required equipment when making digital photos stands out as the device important to view the images and make adjustments to the pixels. Regularly, this instrument will accompany the digital camera when purchased, and quick set up directions make it that you can think of to complete the software upload in a subject of minutes. User friendly "buttons" have eradicated the necessity for most of us to even understand the best way to smash apart pixels to adjust shade and contract, we simply move an arrow up or all the way down to make the adjustment.
Digital pictures helps to revolutionize the way in which we view our footage and the way we're able to capture the most breathtaking pictures. However, what does that truly matter, if all you want is an up-to-date model of a Polaroid?

Why pot-smoking declines, but doesn't end, with parenthood
Adults who smoke marijuana often cut back after becoming parents — but they don't necessarily quit. The influence of a significant other and positive attitudes toward the drug overall, in addition to the onset of parenthood, also are factors in whether someone uses marijuana.
Cannabis use in people with epilepsy revealed: Australian survey
The first Australian nationwide survey on the experiences and opinions of medicinal cannabis use in people with epilepsy has revealed that 14 per cent of people with epilepsy have used cannabis products as a way to manage seizures. The study showed that of those with a history of cannabis product use, 90 per cent of adults and 71 per cent of parents of children with epilepsy reported success in managing seizures after commencing using cannabis products.
Using medical marijuana to stop seizures in kids
Desperate for relief, parents are taking unusual steps to help children plagued with seizures. The relief, however, comes in a most unlikely form: marijuana.
Washington Post: Can We Prescribe Medical Marijuana To Kids?
In another positive sign of the times for cannabis law reform, please find below a new video from the Washington Post's The Fold looking at a couple of different situations where parents faced the legal-moral dilemma of whether or not to follow a physician's recommendation for their young child to use cannabis as a therapeutic. Dr. Ben Whalley From Reading University in United Kingdom is interviewed about his recent cannabinoid research into the use of pediatric cannabis medicine for children, for example, suffering from epilepsy. As a twenty plus year reader of the Washington Post, it is very hard for me to imagine prior editors (and publishers) who would have assigned and widely broadcast a piece that looked at the potential health benefits from cannabis (meaning that as the World War II generation, informed by their government-created 'Reefer Madness', that largely ran the storied newspaper until recently has had to logically yield and defer to a decidedly more cannabis-informed generation of Baby Boomers and younger).
Parents talking about their own drug use to children could be detrimental
Parents know that one day they will have to talk to their children about drug use. The hardest part is to decide whether or not talking about ones own drug use will be useful in communicating an antidrug message. Recent research found that children whose parents did not disclose drug use, but delivered a strong antidrug message, were more likely to exhibit antidrug attitudes.
Marijuana, Childhood Autism and Prohibition
I was on a radio show this past weekend debating a prohibitionist who still believes that medical cannabis is little more than a hoax…a 'camel's nose under the tent' to trick the American public into legalizing cannabis for recreational purposes. I've heard this individual exclaim numerous times over the years that he would not give cannabis to a loved one who needed it, because, he still clings to the myth that cannabis in its natural form is a 'dangerous narcotic'…he even claims cannabis is toxic to humans (despite the drug having a lethal dose rating of fifty…the safest indicator measurement of a drug's lack of toxicity).
Someone who was listening to the show but could not get on the air to address the prohibitionist's anti-pot prevarications forwarded me an email and link to a recent CNN video of a young boy in Oregon lawfully using medical cannabis for his autism. Now this is not the first time NORML's seen credible information about how cannabis can help children with autism, to wit:
In 2009 Brown University writing instructor Marie Myung-Ok Lee's essay on her successfully treating her autistic son J. with cannabis broke this new ground for parents trying to raise children during both the era of cannabis prohibition and the re-discovery of cannabis as a valuable, affordable, safe and non-toxic medicine.
In fact, Marie's frank and daring essay about children, autism and cannabis has spawned numerous other related articles, TV interviews and videos. Many of them archived by NORML here.
The KMVT video below will be added to this growing archive…it is hard to watch, it made me cry thinking about 1) how truly difficult life must be for Alexander Echols, 2) how enduring and loving his parents are, 3) how ignorant (and at times extreme) prohibitionists are in trying to ban all human interface with the quite wonderful cannabis plant and 4) how blessed we are as humans to know of and have a relationship with this remarkable plant species.
Whether one has an evolutionary or 'intelligent design' point of view regarding the origins of life, the relationship between cannabis and humans is an indisputably ancient one, and for many humans today a genuine 'quality of life' issue that is not at all served well under a prohibition regime.
Parents can spot teen drug use and take steps to prevent it
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) June 30, 2010
Summer, with its promise of free time and relaxed adult supervision, can present prime opportunities for adolescents and teenagers to use alcohol or other drugs. Consider the facts:
No Medical Marijuana @ UC Berkeley
Michelle from UC Berkeley responds a story about the University of Michigan banning medical marijuana use by students. Ana Kasparian and Jayar Jackson discuss on TYT University.
Medical Marijuana as treatment for Autism. November 23, 2009 ABC Good Morning Show. Given the many challenges involved in raising an autistic child, parents are willing to try a variety of potential remedies, many of which are controversial and unproven. Share A mother discusses how marijuana saved her autistic son's life. But one potential treatment that has gained attention recently is one that was controversial well before its first mention in connection with autism. "At first I did some research, and I found a doctor who actually had a protocol for medical marijuana in children diagnosed with autism," Mieko Hester-Perez of Fountain Valley, Calif., told "Good Morning America." Hester-Perez made her decision to try giving her 10-year-old son, Joey Perez, medical marijuana after his weight had become dangerously low due to his unwillingness to eat. She said that at the time she began the approach, he weighed only 46 pounds. "You could see the bones in his chest. He was going to die," she said. "The marijuana balanced my son," said Hester-Perez, noting that she has never used marijuana herself. "My son had self-injurious behaviors. He was extremely aggressive, he would run out of our house… he was a danger to himself and others." But just hours after she gave him one of the pot-infused brownies, she said she could see a change — both in his appetite and demeanor. ????????????????????????? www.youtube.com www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv
Pot Patient Wins Custody Case
Defense Attorney Lauren K. Johnson won a major court victory for parents who legally use marijuana for medical purposes last week in Los Angeles. In the case of Drake A. (case # B236769), Division Three of the Second Appellate District, California Court of Appeal ruled on December 5, 2012 that there was no evidence showing that the defendant, a father, is a substance abuser for simply being a legal medical marijuana patient. The court confirmed that while parents who abuse drugs can lose custody of their children, a parent who uses marijuana for medical reasons, with a doctor's approval, isn't necessarily a drug abuser.
The father, "Paul M." was placed under DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) supervision after he testified in an October 2011 hearing that he used medical marijuana about four times a week for knee pain. During that same hearing, he also stated that he never medicates in front of his children, nor is he under the influence while they are in his care. DCFS supervision requires drug counseling, parenting classes and random drug testing. During subsequent drug screenings the father tested positive for marijuana, and negative for all other drugs. As a result, the Superior Court of Los Angeles ruled that the child was to become a "dependent of the court based on the trial court's finding that [the] father's usage of medical marijuana placed the child at substantial risk of serious physical harm or illness…".
"Paul M." appealed the former court's ruling, which was challenged in the Second Appellate District of California. The Appellate court subsequently ruled in favor of reversing the Superior court's judgment. The official ruling stated "[that the] DCFS failed to show that [the] father was unable to provide regular care for Drake [the minor child at issue] due to father's substance abuse. Both DCFS and the trial court apparently confused the meanings of the terms 'substance use' and 'substance abuse'."
Johnson issued a press release noting that this is the first case to distinguish between marijuana use and abuse with regards to child protection laws. "In overturning a Los Angeles Superior Court ruling against the plaintiff, Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, the Appellate Court said the 'mere usage of drugs,' including marijuana, is not the same as substance abuse that can affect child custody, as alleged in this case by the lower court." She went on to say, "The ruling illustrates a growing recognition of the legitimate use of medical marijuana in this state and other states. We want kids to be safe, but we also want parents to be able to use legally prescribed medications when children appear not to be at demonstrated risk of harm."
This has been a pervasive issue in California, as well as other medical marijuana states. Legal patients have lost custody of their children and been forced to turn their children over to a juvenile protection agency. The NORML Women's Alliance has been working hard to bring this issue to the forefront. NORML Women's Alliance Director Sabrina Fendrick issued the following statement; "This ruling is a small victory in our fight for legal marijuana patients' parental rights. We hope that future judicial hearings, as well as child protection agencies will utilize this judgment and adopt new policies that reflect the Appellate court's ruling."
Counties Can Kidnap Your Baby Legally
I'm not what you would call a sentimental guy. It takes a lot for me to become so upset with a situation that I lose it. But I had to turn off an audio recording I was listening to. I have not finished listening to it yet.
If you are interested in determining whether you have a stronger stomach than I do you can check it out at http://www.freemybabies.org/.
Daisy Bram lives in Butte County, CA. She and her husband were growing marijuana legally as patients when they were raided by the Sheriff's Office. Her two children Thor, aged 2, and Zeus, 28 days old, were ripped from her arms and placed in County Supervision by Child Protective Services (CPS). Their intent was to declare Daisy and her husband, incompetent and negligent parents, permanently remove the children and to place them up for adoption. The county would collect a fat check from the federal government for the transaction. In fact it would get a bonus because the children would be "special needs" because of their mother's "drug" use.
Daisy is a strong, determined woman who had the ability to fight the system. Luckily she won back custody after three and a half months. She is still facing criminal charges of child endangerment, but I think that case will be dismissed in the preliminary hearing.
While Daisy's struggle to keep her children seems to be headed for a happy ending her case opened up a shocking policy of infant and toddler kidnapping by Child Protective Services in conspiracy with local District Attorneys. I know that superlative adjectives such as cruel, shocking and inhumane are used all the time to emphasize situations, but in this instance, there are no other words for it.
CPS in at least three California counties has a policy of seizing infants and toddlers from mothers connected in any way with marijuana. They use criteria such as THC in the infants blood, the admission that the mother used marijuana and breast feeds, allegations that the child had access to marijuana or any other excuse they can to remove the baby or toddler from the mother instantly. Then it's up to the parents to try to get them back. Most of the victims don't have the funds or legal sophistication to fight a bureaucracy stacked against them.
Once it has children in hand CPS quickly acts to have them adopted. The most adoptable children are white infants and toddlers that have no apparent disabilities. Older children are harder to adopt so they are usually not taken. In at least one case the toddlers were taken but the older brother was not removed.
Being a parent, I know how close and intimate the relationship is between mother and child. The thought of separating them is abhorrent and the recording of an infant torn from a mother's arms reminds us to the horrors of war, genocide and terrorism. These are apt images. The idea that an arm of the California State government is responsible for this is beyond my comprehension.
When I was appointed Executive Director of Green Aid the Board of Directors set as a goal that we would use the courts to address child custody issues. It is a bigger problem than any of us thought when we first decided that the organization should get involved.
State organized child kidnapping attacks the very heart of our society. Stopping it now is extremely important. Although Green Aid is going to devote much of its resources to this issue, it is a small organization and we know that we must form a broad task force to change policy.
The first step we are taking is to invite relevant individuals and organizations to a meeting in September to set up a task force. With this group we will be able to use talent and contacts from many organizations to end the heart wrenching policy of state organized kidnapping.
Green-Aid, The Medical Marijuana Education and Legal Defense Fund is a 501(c)3 corporation and all donations are tax deductible. We have no office rent, paid employees and little overhead. Almost all the money you contribute goes to directly fight for your freedom.
Help us fight this human rights violation. No mother should be threatened with the loss of her child over cannabis. This fight will be costly, but we are ingenious and by working cooperatively with other organizations we will end this practice and restore the sanctity of the mother-child bond.
Please be as generous as you can. Think how empty your heart would be if your child were torn from your arms and given to someone else, and the State was the culprit. We need your help now. Donate now at www.green-aid.com

Sorry AP, Telling Kids the Truth About Marijuana is Not Complicated
[In response to the AP article "Easing of State Marijuana Laws Poses Challenge for Parents"]
No one can deny that the number one goal of a parent is for his or her children to grow up healthy, and be able to make responsible decisions about everything from their friendships and lifestyle, to their safety. Parents do this by sitting down and having open honest conversations about issues that will inevitably affect them in the future.
Education gives children the tools and understanding to help them cope with the challenges they have already experienced, and will continue to face further down the road. Creating a government regulated system for marijuana legalization, which will include everything from age limits to promotional and advertising restrictions (and obviously impaired driving regulations), will actually help parents address this issue with their kids. Several studies have already shown that states with regulated marijuana programs have not seen an increase in teen use. Some have even seen a decrease in pot use among their youth population.
The prohibition of marijuana sends the message "marijuana is morally wrong" and implies that there is no such thing as a responsible marijuana consumer. This ignorant policy improperly allows the government to interfere in the parent's job of teaching their kids about moderation and responsibility. Scare tactics and rhetoric are disingenuous and do not help children understand the realities of the world we live in.
It is socially acceptable for parents, alcohol distributors, and even the government to teach children about safe drinking practices (with a full understanding that alcohol is directly responsible for thousands of deaths every year), and the state regulation of marijuana will allow parents and educators do the same for the plant (whose non-lethal and relatively harmless side effects inevitably make the latter substance the safer choice).
We did not have to outlaw cigarettes to reduce the use among minors. A policy of education and regulation (not prohibition) has created an environment in which cigarette usage has fallen to an all time low. The same goes for alcohol. A sustained and concerted effort on responsible drinking practices by the government, alcohol companies and educational institutions have driven teen alcohol use down to a record low as well, according to the 2011 Monitoring the Future Survey. Age restrictions, government regulation and education have proven to be one of the most effective elements in reducing youth access to adult-only recreational substances. None of these controls apply to marijuana.
As it currently stands, marijuana is illegal and sold on the black market to anyone willing to pay for it. Drug dealers don't ID. Today, young people report that they have easier access to illicit marijuana than to legal beer or cigarettes. This is because the latter is legally limited to adults only.
Children need accurate information to make informed decisions. They need to be educated on how consuming marijuana can effect their body's development specifically, and how to reduce any harms associated with its use – as well as how to distinguish between use and abuse. Just as it is socially acceptable for parents to speak with their children openly about their use of alcohol, with an emphasis on that fact that it is only appropriate for adults in moderation, the legalization of marijuana will allow parents to openly discuss their (possible) past or current use and be able to objectively and rationally speak to their children about pot. The controlled regulation of marijuana will send a message of moderation and responsible use. It will also undercut the black market, which in turn will reduce teen access. It's as simple as that, and it's a win-win for everybody.
Anti- drug lobbyists with new survey results
New survey results put out by anti-drug lobbyists formerly known as the Partnership for a Drug Free America, now calling themselves, "The Partnership at Drugfree.org", says that teen marijuana use has risen sharply over the last few years. The nonprofit group is best known for their 1980's and 1990's "this is your brain on drugs" ad campaign aimed to curb teen drug use.
They released the survey today that said 1 in 10 teens said that they smoke marijuana regularly. This is an 80 percent rise in past month reported use among teens since the last survey the organization put out in 2008. The Partnership at Drugfree.org along with the MetLife foundation says that during the same time frame, prescription drug abuse has dropped slightly, but still remains high.
They obtained the results after polling by anonymous questionnaires, 3,322 teenagers in grades 9 through 12. The teens were polled at schools from March to June of 2011. The current partnership president, Steve Pasierb blames the increase partly on the mindset of parents that a little weed or a few prescription pills isn't a big deal. He said that parents are scared about cocaine and heroin and those are the drugs they warn their children about. He said the groups survey has shown that use of those harder drugs among teens has stabilized in recent years.
The percentage of teens that smoke marijuana at least once in the last month rose from 19 percent in 2008 to 27 percent in 2011. The percentage of regular users, those that used marijuana at least 20 times in the last month went from 5% in 2008 to 9 percent last year, an estimate of 1.5 million teens toking up, according to the Partnership. They say that teens who smoke 20 or more times a month are more likely to have substance abuse problems later in life. They also report that kids in that heavy user group of more than 20 times a month are also twice as likely to use ecstasy, cocaine or crack.
Other findings in the report include 1 in 10 teens report using prescription painkillers – Vicodin or OxyContin – in the past year, down from a peak of 15 percent in 2009 and 14 percent in 2010. Just over half of Hispanic teens report using an illicit drug, such as Ecstasy or cocaine, in the past year. That compares to 39 percent for Caucasian teens and 42 percent for African American teens. Past-year alcohol use and past-month drinking is holding steady from the 2008 report at 56 percent and 38 percent respectively.
