GRANTS PASS — A drug trial in Grants Pass has opened a rare window into the dark side of a large-scale medical marijuana operation.
The prosecution's star witness testified Thursday that large growers regularly use the cover of providing medicine for patients to pile up hundreds of pounds of illegal weed they can sell for big money on the black market at low risk of going to jail.
"Everybody's in this for money. Don't let anybody fool you," Thomas Bletko, 51, testified in Josephine County Circuit Court. "It's all done under the guise of being medical."
Bletko turned state's evidence in the trial of Brenda Thomas, the manager of the Hemp and Cannabis Foundation clinic in Grants Pass. The foundation, headed by longtime Portland marijuana activist Paul Stanford, has clinics in nine states, where doctors examine patients looking for state authorization to use pot to treat medical conditions.
Thomas has pleaded innocent to felony charges of manufacture and distribution of a controlled substance.
Police raided Thomas' rural Wilderville home in October 2009 after a Las Vegas couple pulled over in a traffic stop on Interstate 5 near Ashland told investigators that they bought the pound of marijuana found in their car from Thomas. Investigators found 200 pounds of marijuana, much of it processed. The street value of that much marijuana is about $500,000.
Under Oregon's medical marijuana law, patients can have someone else grow pot for them, but growers cannot charge patients for the marijuana they produce. They can only collect for expenses, such as electricity and fertilizer.
According to testimony, Thomas and Bletko were careful to have enough medical marijuana cards to cover the 72 plants in the ground. But when police raided the property, they had drying plants and processed marijuana amounting to 200 pounds, far more than the 19.5 pounds of processed pot authorized by holding medical cards for 13 patients.
Bletko, who testified after pleading guilty to a reduced charge and being sentenced to probation, said he was looking for a place to grow "my prescription" when a fellow grower introduced him to Thomas.
Thomas was looking for a grower, Bletko testified, and they reached an agreement: he would grow the marijuana, Thomas would trim it, they'd provide their 13 card-holding patients with the marijuana the patients were entitled to under law, give eight pot plants to the grower who had introduced Bledko and Thomas, and each take half of the remainder.
"You don't grow half a million dollars worth of pot for medical patients," Bletko said.
The pot that wasn't going to patients was "going to be sold for profit. Most of it was being sold in Portland and Seattle," he said.
At the going rate of $2,250 per pound, they each stood to clear $100,000 to $200,000 for the year's work, Bletko said.
Under cross-examination, defense lawyer Foster Glass tried to show that Bletko regularly moved in on women to grow marijuana and refused to leave.
Bletko said he moved his trailer onto Thomas' property and laid out his rules: No selling to anyone off the property, who could get pulled over by police and bring the heat down on the growers. No bud trimmers were allowed on the property without medical marijuana cards. And no unnecessary visitors.
According to a search warrant affidavit, the Las Vegas couple told police they were introduced to Thomas by Thomas' sister. They bought three-quarters of a pound from Thomas for $1,000 and got more for helping trim buds and other work on the property, even though they did not have medical marijuana cards.
Bletko said he delivered marijuana to Thomas at the clinic three or four times and she would come home with money.
"I don't know what she sold it for on the back side," Bletko said.

'Cat Cafe' Is Purrfect Spot for Paris Animal Lovers Print article Send a Tip from AFP 18 Sep 2013 post a comment France's first "cat cafe" opens on Saturday in Paris with an in house troupe of nine rescue cats ready and waiting to be made a fuss of by cat-loving customers. Already popular in Tokyo where there are dozens, cat cafes allow customers who cannot have a pet at home to enjoy a cup of something hot with a purring cat perched on their knees. Margaux Gandelon, the woman behind the new Cafe des Chats in Paris's trendy Marais district, says the cats were carefully selected for their social skills and stresses that hygiene and their welfare are her top priorities. "My cats are free all day and all night," she said. Cindy Engel from Strasbourg visited the cafe ahead of its opening for a preview. The 31-year-old welcomed the concept saying it encouraged her to interact with other people rather than electronic devices. "The cats allow us to not always be connected to our mobiles. What's more they create social connections," she said. "Instead of typing on our computers while drinking a coffee we talk about cats to our neighbours," she added. Not everyone, however, was convinced. "It's a good experience but eating with cats is not my thing," said Edward Chrismars, adding that he was just there to please a friend. "It's alright to have them sitting on the sofa, that's OK, but they can't jump on the table or eat from my plate. It's not hygienic!" he said. Comments

What more could a 10 year old boy want? Sexy princeses, sword fights, battle robots, kung fu midget fighting robots, time warps, outerspace, space craft, monsters, castration by crotch eating machines.....This movie had all the goods. Well all the goods except for good acting. This was a pirate spoof set in the future of space. A thing such as water has become a valuable commodity and these pirates are out to make a buck. So they turn good and help a thirsty planet along the way, bag the princess, in more ways then one, it's still a fun nostalgic flick.
Makes you wonder why actors who for the most part are taken serious go and make stupid movies that just don't fit them at all. Perhaps for the levity of doing something totally different. Anyway Robert Ulrick, yes the same from TV's 'spencer for hire', who had a long and relatively successful amount of work in TV gave movies a try. Considering the volume of TV work he had he couldn't have been that bad. But Ice Pirates wasn't exactly shakespeare.
So if your into Cheesy, 1980's sci-fi special effects and all the things listed above including the midget kung-fu fighting robots...This is totally the flick for you. I really need to watch this again sometime if I can find it on T.V.
1984 US Director: Stewart Raffil
Score: 6
Stop looking at me like that. Yes, I did rate this movie as a recommended one. No, no...don't try to talk me out of it, and no I do not need to "go lay down" for a while. I feel fine, really, everything is fine. It's not like I gave it a ten or anything. The movie is entertaining. Yes, the SFX, even for a 80s movie, could be sliced up to make grilled cheese sandwiches. I know that. Yes the acting is very tongue in cheek. John Matuzak? Yup, that was him, but let's not dwell on it ok? The story is an obvious spoof on space opera style films and so I cut it some slack as far as some of the logic problems it had. As a spoof I expect it to be comical and to get a basic story told. It achieves both of those expectations in my opinion. The soundtrack isn't half bad either. C'mon, give it a viewing, it won't hurt.
Notes: GV Suggested Age: 8+
Wow, an 11% rating on RT. This is yet another example of the critics getting it all wrong. This is a very good movie, not to be missed. There's not a minute in it to be taken seriously, of course, and if you actually try to follow the plot you'll be wasting your time. But it is truly entertaining to watch, which is what movies are supposed to be about.
In a galaxy far away, water is the precious substance and the Templar's control its only source and thus keep the peoples of dozens of worlds under their dominaiton. But a group of brave pirates, led by the handsome ladies' man Jason (Urich) prey upon their water convoys and make a mint doing so. However, when Jason and crew become involved with Princess Karina (Crosby) and her search for her missing father, they find themselves on a path that might lead to the mythical Seventh World and its endless water supply.
The Ice Pirates (Robert Urich, left, Jeremy West, Anjelica Huston, and Michael D. Roberts)
prepare to attack a Templar Convoy.
"Ice Pirates" is an under-appreciated goofy sci-fi comedy that all but the most humorless sci-fi fans should get a kick out of, whether you're a lover of space-opera fare like "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" or if you go more for things like "Silent Running" and "Logan's Run". Low-brow and high-brow sci-fi get poked fun at equally in this very funny movie where jokes come at viewers non-stop.
With a great cast--whose classic mantinee idol and leading lady looks and comedic talents add equally to the success of this film--and a well-crafted, fast-paced script, this is a movie so outrageously fun that when it ends, you'll be saying, "What?! Is that it?! Where's the sequel?! I want a sequel!" (There wasn't a sequel, because, like so many other good spoofs, tis one didn't fare well at the box office.)
See this film for the terrifying space herpies. See this film for the funniest use of the word "nigger" this side of "Blazing Saddles". See it for the incredibly cute Mary Crosby and her futuristic princess outfits. But see it. See it for the Kung-Fu robots. But see it!
Ice Pirates
Starring: Robert Urich, Mary Crosby, Michael D. Roberts, Anjelica Huston, John Matuszak, Jeremy West, Ron Symonds and Ron Perlman

Darkstalkers Resurrection may have only existed officially for a few minutes, but Capcom's fighting game guru Yoshinori Ono has bigger hopes for the franchise as a whole, which until today remained one of the few dormant forces in the modern fighting game renaissance.
"Ono has a dream of revitalizing the Darkstalkers franchise, and this is the first step to get there," Capcom producer Derek Neal of Capcom told Joystiq at the New York Comic Con. "[Ono] wants Darkstalkers 4."
Capcom is using the release of Darkstalkers Resurrection as a litmus test to gauge the strength and fervor of the Darkstalkers community, says Neal. In the past, Ono has taken it upon himself to poll audiences directly, asking for attendees interested in a new Darkstalkers to hold up cash as proof of their commitment.

"Positiv überrascht !!!"Bewertet von einem Hotels.com-Gast am 14. Jan. 2013
Wir wollten zwei Nächte in Napa verbringen und haben hierzu (Paar mit einem Kind) etwas "zweckmäßiges" gesucht. Die Bewertungen für das Hotel waren eher positiv und der Preis stimmte auch. Hinsichtlich "Best Western" bestand dann eher ein gewinnses Vorurteil, welches die Erwartungshaltung eher zurückgeschraubt hat. Das Hotel ist jedoch super und 100%ig weiterzuempfehlen. Extrem freundlicher Empfang und toller Service. Sehr familiäre Atmosphäre und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet (Kamin etc.). Wir würden hier immer wieder buchen !!
"Preis Leistung gut!"Bewertet von einem Hotels.com-Gast am 3. Okt. 2012
Sehr nah am Highway, trotzdem sehr ruhig in den Zimmern. Frühstück inklusive aber typisch sehr spartanisch. Ca. 50min mit dem Auto bis Downtown SF. Oder über den 10km entfernten Hafen in Vallejo mit der Fähre (knapp 60min Fahrzeit für 13$ pro Person und Fahrt).

"Convenient location close to Six Flags"
Nice, clean hotel only that's only 25 minutes from Six Flags. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff friendly. The breakfast was average with breads, cereal, scrambled eggs and meat.

"Clean and Comfortable"
We enjoyed our one night stay at this Fairfield Inn location! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is very clean and well kept. The only downside was the noise level, you could hear literally everything in the hall and rooms around you. This wasn't a huge issue for us since we were traveling with small children and adding […] to the noise level ourselves. We will definitely look this location up again when traveling through Vacaville! MehrAuthentische Hotels.com-Gästebewertung

"Nice place to stay, difficult to find with GPS"
The Fairfield Inn is really a nice place to stay. We were on the 2nd floor during the Labor Day weekend, and heard only very little noise from other guests. The bed was very comfortable, and the in-room coffee was better than usual. Finding the Fairfield Inn was a bit of challenge. It set well off the road behind two other businesses.

"Good Value for the Money"
Good hotel - nothing too fancy but free breakfast, great location and very capable front desk. Rooms comfortable, bedding a little funky - small bed spreads - but everything was clean. Indoor pool was warm and had outdoor sunning area. Unfortunately the Jacuzzi was not available. Breakfast was kind of a madhouse, but staff did a creditable job of keeping […] up with restocking dishes as needed, they just got overwhelmed a few times. Always cheerful and helpful even when some people complained. Parking is free, breakfast is free, good location, clean rooms - good value. MehrAuthentische Hotels.com-Gästebewertung

This is a picture of the Y and Z axis
2 or 3 weeks ago someone asked for more detailed pictures of the MTC machine.
Sorry this took so long.
I'm in the process of tweaking mine and have it somewhat disassembled.
This is a front view of the Z plate without the router and plate mounted. It's a fairly good look at the lead screw for Z.
This is a picture of the Y and Z axis
This is the back side of the Y axis
I don't have a good shot of the X axis drive.
I'll try to get one when I get time to finish my tweaking.
How much did you pay for mechanical parts?
I haven't ever sat down and figured out what the total cost of this machine was (yes, I'm afraid to add it all up). All of the parts were ordered from the suppliers suggested by MTC and for the most part the prices listed in the engineering package were very close. What surprised me was the shipping cost on some of these parts. If you can get the rack (for the X & Y drive), the linear guides and bearing, and the 80/20 frame locally...you'll save a BUNCH of shipping fees.

We're all painfully familiar with the bag of goodies members of the state Legislature receive along with their base annual salaries of $83,000. Cadillac health benefits, fat pensions, unvouchered per diems, automatic cost-of-living pay increases — all of these things, we're told, are necessary to attract and retain good lawmakers.
Uh-huh. You be the judge of whether we taxpayers, who are footing the bill for all of this, are getting our money's worth.
There's another, less-well-known perk that's costing Pennsylvania motorists and anyone who uses the turnpike big bucks — and it's not even part of the lawmakers' booty. The turnpike commission has for some time been offering free travel on the state's toll roads to its employees and vendors. Auditor General Jack Wagner said the commission's "liberal and inadequate policy" provided at least $7.7 million worth of free rides between January 2007 and August 2011. There's no telling how much more revenue has been "given away" since the end of the audit period.
This lost money is vital. Since 2007, state law has required turnpike tolls to help fund non-turnpike transportation programs. To help meet its obligations to PennDOT, the turnpike commission has raised tolls twice since 2009, including a whopping 25 percent that year and 3 percent in 2012. Another increase is on the way. Next month, motorists who pay cash to drive the turnpike will be paying 10 percent more; E-ZPass customers will see their rates go up 2 percent. The increases could make the turnpike the most-expensive long toll road in the country.
Meanwhile, commission employees and vendors using ID cards or special E-ZPass transponders are driving the turnpike for free. Wagner says non-turnpike employee ID cards accounted for the most lost revenue: more than $4 million.
And this is especially telling: According to Wagner, the turnpike either couldn't or wouldn't say if the free travel was for business or personal reasons. We're not surprised.
Besides being an example of colossal waste, this "free ride program" is a gigantic rip-off in that it forces motorists to pay more than they should have to.
The policy for turnpike employees and vendors alike should be the same as it is for everyone else: Anyone using the turnpike for business travel should be required to get receipts and submit them for reimbursement. E-ZPass users should be carefully monitored. No more automatic freebies.
The free travel policy, whether well-intentioned or not, has been a license to steal from the motoring public. There's no justification for it to continue.
Who to call: William Lieberman, chairman of the turnpike commission: 1-717-939-9551. Press 0 and ask for Lieberman to voice your objection to the free ride program.

"Lom - the main gate to the Jotunheimen Mountains" Lom by xantylaol
Lom Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 56 photos
Lom lies at a trafficjunction where much of the traffic headed for the Jotunheimen mountains comes thru. The area surrounding Lom stretches for many miles in each direction and is characterized by wild nature, wild animals, very good extreme sports opportunities, good fishing grounds, horseriding, trekking and hiking, glacierwalking, camping, wining and dining at good restaurants and many other things.
If you like nature, fresh air, good restaurants, variety in the types of activities you can engage in in wilderness - you should come and visit. Lom is the gateway to some of my favourite areas in Norway!
There's plenty of mountains to climb in Norway, and in Jotunheimen especially so. During summer there's also a few summer ski resorts that are open. In Jotunheimen one is next to Juvasshytta and the other is in Stryn which is a couple of hours away with car or bus.
Hiking routes are all over the place and lodges, hotels and restaurants are plentyful all over the place.
Check out these sites for mountain hiking:
- Pros:My favourite area in Norway
- Cons:Just don't tell anybody about this place - wanna keep it as pristine and unspoiled as possible
- In a nutshell:This is a truly beautiful area - help keep it nice if you ever go here

Sadly, literally everything in this photo is gone now (and has been for awhile). It's incredible how much can change over the course of six years. We miss you, classic cargo haulers!
Back in the days when these classics were still seen at Manchester on a regular basis. I miss these days.
Arriving on runway 14 in the beautiful autumn late evening light.
This one arrived at Manchester as its final flight nearly three years before this shot was taken. She sits here in the aviation viewing park but has since been put in a personally built hangar. No... (more)

Recovered from my files. This company run out of bussiness and won't fly again. Taking off from runway 12 almost at night.
Short final - one of the most beautiful colour schemes in the air!

We are looking for a cottage/cabin to rent for 5 days or so.
We are coming from Montreal and would love a place with great views, swimming options (lakes/streams if possible) and a fire pit
We would be 10 adults with 3 couples.
Can anyone point me in a nice direction? I know my request is very vague.
Thanks so much

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Director James Gunn Apologizes for Controversial Jokes: 'I'm Sorry and Regret Making Them at All'
"We're all in the same camp, and I want to do my best to make this world a better place for all of us," Gunn writes in a statement provided to GLAAD. "I'm learning all the time."
James Gunn, director of Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy, has broken his silence over several blog posts he'd written in 2011, currently the source of much Internet debate for their explicit language and depiction of women, gays and lesbians.
The statement, which comes following an outreach from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, reads as follows:
"A couple of years ago I wrote a blog that was meant to be satirical and funny. In rereading it over the past day I don't think it's funny. The attempted humor in the blog does not represent my actual feelings. However, I can see where statements were poorly worded and offensive to many. I'm sorry and regret making them at all," Gunn writes.
"People who are familiar with me as evidenced by my Facebook page and other mediums know that I'm an outspoken proponent for the rights of the gay and lesbian community, women and anyone who feels disenfranchised, and it kills me that some other outsider like myself, despite his or her gender or sexuality, might feel hurt or attacked by something I said," he continues. "We're all in the same camp, and I want to do my best to make this world a better place for all of us. I'm learning all the time. I promise to be more careful with my words in the future. And I will do my best to be funnier as well. Much love to all. -- James Gunn."

A man who downloaded child pornography from the internet just days after being given a chance by a judge over similar offences was warned he could face jail.
Thomas Winters was originally given a three-year community order at Lincoln Crown Court in July last year following a police raid on his home in the village of Upton near Gainsborough.
Winters' computer was seized and contained more than 1,300 indecent images of children downloaded from the internet.
As part of his sentence, Winters was ordered not to possess any software which allowed him to delete the search history of his computer.

Contact: 01522 305178
Valid until: Saturday, December 14 2013
But just 23 days after he was sentenced, police again visited him and discovered that Winters was using a computer which allowed him to delete the history.
The computer was examined and further indecent images of children were discovered.
Winters, 64, of Main Street, Upton, admitted possessing 124 indecent images of children on August 22, 2012.
He also admitted breach of a sexual offences prevention order by using a computer which had the capacity to delete the history.
After entering his guilty pleas Winters told the court: "It will never happen again."
Judge Michael Heath adjourned sentence and told Winters: "The fact that I grant you bail today does not mean that I won't send you to prison when I come to sentence you."
Winters will be sentenced next month.
