The Ducati 749 is a 90-degree L Twin Desmodromic valve actuated engine sport bike built by Ducati Motor Holding between 2003 and 2006. Designed by Pierre Terblanche, the 749 was available as the 749, 749 Dark, 749S, and 749R. It shared many of its parts with the 999, with the exception of a slightly smaller 180/55 profile rear tire, smaller cylinders, and different cylinder heads, giving it a smaller displacement of 748 cc. This smaller engine is higher revving and produces a lower peak horsepower than the larger engine used in the 999. The 749S model, like the 999, incorporates features rarely found on production motorcycles, including adjustable rake (23.5° or 24.5°) and five-position adjustable rearset mounts.
A limited number of the 749 were manufactured as a race version — the 749R — each with their production number stamped on the triple clamp. This race model was lighter, had a shorter stroke, increased bore and larger valves which allowed it to run more efficiently at higher RPM, and hence, produced more torque and power than the 749/S models. The 749R also came with a larger fuel tank (18.3 L or 4.0 imp gal or 4.8 US gal); slipper clutch; Öhlins forks, shock and steering damper; racing cams; titanium valves, valve guides, and connecting rods; magnesium head covers, and carbon fiber belt covers. Its 2004 model had carbon fiber fairings.
The 749 was replaced by the Ducati 848 for the 2008 model year.

I am interested in finding out more about Bill Jack (1865-1941) and Smithie (Lipscomb)(1871-1967). They are my GGreat Grandparents. They had five sons; Marshall, Rufus, James, Robert and Luther. And they had four daughters; Leva (Peppers) White, Rosie (Peppers) Pullen, Genevia Peppers and Hallie (Peppers) Davis (1894-1988) who is my Great grandmother. I do know they also had connections in Pepperstown Tenn. I believe Bill Jacks father to be Robert H Peppers (1836-1926) m. Caroline Bowen (1846-1919). I am also looking for information on Thomas Pierce Davis (1889-1962) who married Hallie Peppers. Most of these relatives are buried at Mt. Nebo cemetery in Lawrence County Tenn.

Charles Krauthammer: Hail Armageddon
Think about that. Worst case? That a government drowning in debt should cut back by 2.2 percent - and the country survives. That a government now borrowing 35 cents of every dollar it spends reduces that borrowing by two cents "and nothing bad really happens." Oh, the humanity!
A normal citizen might think this a good thing. For reactionary liberalism, however, whatever sum our ever-inflating government happens to spend today (now double what Bill Clinton spent in his last year) is the Platonic ideal - the reduction of which, however minuscule, is a national calamity.
Or damn well should be. Otherwise, people might get the idea that we can shrink government, and live on.
Hence the President's message. If the "sequestration" - automatic spending cuts - goes into effect, the skies will fall. Plane travel jeopardized, carrier groups beached, teachers furloughed.
The administration has every incentive to make the sky fall, lest we suffer that terrible calamity - cuts the nation survives. Are they threatening to pare back consultants, conferences, travel and other nonessential fluff? Hardly. It shall be air-traffic control. Meat inspection. Weather forecasting.
A 2011 GAO report gave a sampling of the vastness of what could be cut, consolidated and rationalized in Washington: 44 overlapping job training programs, 18 for nutrition assistance, 82 (!) on teacher quality, 56 dealing with financial literacy, more than 20 for homelessness, etc. Total annual cost: $100 billion-$200 billion, about two to five times the entire domestic sequester.
Are these on the chopping block? No sir. It's firemen first. That's the phrase coined in 1976 by legendary Washington Monthly Editor Charlie Peters to describe the way government functionaries beat back budget cuts. Dare suggest a nick in the city budget and the mayor immediately shuts down the firehouse. The DMV back office stacked with nepotistic incompetents remains intact. Shrink it and no one would notice. Sell the firetruck - the people scream and the city council falls silent about any future cuts.
After all, the sequester is just one-half of 1 percent of GDP. It amounts to 1.4 cents on the dollar of nondefense spending, 2 cents overall.
Because of this year's payroll tax increase, millions of American workers have had to tighten their belts by precisely 2 percent. They found a way. Washington, spending $3.8 trillion, cannot? If so, we might as well declare bankruptcy now and save the attorneys' fees.
The problem with sequestration, of course, is that the cuts are across the board and do not allow money to move between accounts. It's dumb because it doesn't discriminate.
Fine. Then change the law. That's why we have a Congress. Discriminate. Prioritize. That's why we have budgets. Except that the Democratic Senate hasn't passed one in four years. And the White House, which proposed the sequester in the first place, had 18 months to establish rational priorities among accounts - and did nothing.
When the GOP House passed an alternative that cut where the real money is - entitlement spending - President Obama threatened a veto. Meaning, he would have insisted that the sequester go into effect - the very same sequester he now tells us will bring on Armageddon.
Good grief. The entire sequester would have reduced last year's deficit from $1.33 trillion to $1.24 trillion. A fraction of a fraction. Nonetheless, insists Obama, such a cut is intolerable. It has to be "balanced" - i.e., largely replaced - by yet more taxes.
Which demonstrates that, for Obama, this is not about deficit reduction, which interests him not at all. The purpose is purely political: to complete his Election Day victory by breaking the Republican opposition.
At the fiscal cliff, Obama broke - and split - the Republicans on taxes. With the sequester, he intends to break them on spending. Make the cuts as painful as possible, and watch the Republicans come crawling for a "balanced" (i.e., tax hiking) deal.
In the past two years, House Republicans stopped cold Obama's left-liberal agenda. Break them now and the road is open to resume enactment of the expansive, entitlement-state liberalism that Obama proclaimed in his second inaugural address.
But he cannot win if "nothing bad really happens." Indeed, he'd look both foolish and cynical for having cried wolf. His incentive to deliberately make the most painful and socially disruptive cuts possible (say, oh, releasing illegal immigrants from detention) is enormous. And alarming.
Hail Armageddon.

The One Man MMO Project
By Robert Basler on 2013-07-10 23:46:41
Homepage: www.onemanmmo.com email:one at onemanmmo dot com
So there's been a lot going on, but nothing interesting has been complete and ready to talk about.
An RTS staple feature which is new is building placement. Buildings render as transparent until they are placed, and they use the collision data, terrain incline, and distance from other buildings to determine if building placement is legal (with a red/green indicator.) Using red/green is a risk because some people can't tell the difference, and maybe I'll add an additional rendering indicator later, but for now I cheated a bit and made the green a little blue (the same trick used on traffic lights.)
[If you're color-blind, do me a favour and tell me in the comments if you can tell which of the squares under the building are red and which are green.]
I've also been thinking a lot about business models and how to monetize Miranda. I read this super-interesting piece in Wired on A/B testing a couple days ago (my stack of unread magazines has gotten a little unruly the last while.) If you have a website that gets any volume of traffic at all, and given how seemingly minor and arbitrary changes to a page can hugely affect the outcome, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't implement A/B testing. I'm going to be getting out my statistics books pretty soon.

I think Microsoft's mistake with the XBOX One is that they didn't go far enough. They should have gone full-Steam and gotten rid of game disks entirely. And if they really wanted people to love them (and leverage their massive PC market dominance,) they'd make it so that you could play your games both on XBOX and on Windows if the game has a PC version. Or they could make the PC version (or the XBOX version depending on your gaming system of choice) a cheap extra like the blu-ray sets that come with a DVD version for an extra $3.

I was off my game on Friday - completely wiped out, so rather than struggle on with collision detection, I decided to watch "Despicable Me" (which is awesome) and add achievements to Miranda. Looking for a feature set, I checked out achievements on Steam, Xbox and PS3 which are all pretty similar.

Whenever I tell someone in the games industry what I'm doing, they give me a look. A whole lot of information is packed in that expression: you're crazy, it's never going to work, try something easier, you're wasting your time. Non compos mentis.
This experience doesn't seem to be unique. A couple days ago Dave Toulouse said, "When you have no experience making games and you work on an MMO you avoid telling too many people what you are doing because nobody believe you can pull it off and many will make sure to discourage you from doing it."

After spending so long on the patcher, I decided I wanted to cherry-pick a few small items off of the todo list this week, knock a bunch of 'em out and have a good sense of accomplishment. That was Monday.

I attended the Full Indie Summit today along with 399 other indie developers at the Rio theatre in Vancouver. With a mere $10 admission for 12 talks ranging from 5 minutes to 30 and including snacks, it put those other big name developer conferences to shame.

I needed a way to deliver my game to players, but I have a fundamental problem: the game is really, really big. That means that it is completely impractical for players to download the whole thing in one go, it needs to have a streaming installer.
I did a lot of research on patching and installers over quite a few months. There are so, so many approaches you can take. Windows installer is a great tool, use it if you can. I tried really hard to find an existing solution, but I'm sad to say, I didn't find a solution that would suit my game.
The biggest roadblock to using an existing solution was that I have a lot of files. My test world has around 18,000 files and the full dataset will have many, many more. With that many files, a regular single-file self-installer would be gigantic.
You wouldn't believe how much work adding this one progress bar was!

I was listening to Chris Hecker's talk No One Knows About Your Game this week and he makes a good point. It is a big risk to not talk about what you're working on and then hope that your press strategy all comes together for the game's release. I haven't talked about my game because I don't like to talk about things that aren't done yet, but that changes today.

I was hugely disappointed when I learned that the developers of Natural Selection 2 lost $30,000 in credit card charge-back fees on 1,341 Steam keys bought fraudulently via the Humble Store. I had a bit of a warm spot in my heart for The Humble Bundle, but indie devs can't afford to take that kind of hit.
I don't know what sort of arrangement there is between The Humble Bundle guys and the developers, but The Humble Bundle is making good money, I'm really shocked that they haven't spent some of that money on effective fraud prevention.
When choosing a payment processing service for your game, don't just look at the discount rate, make sure you look at what they do to prevent fraud and read the service agreement carefully. Credit card fees can bankrupt you if you aren't careful.

A while back I put together an audio system which I have been using to play music in the menus. While I had the ability to play any sort of sound, it was kind of inconvenient to use -- each sound had a handle that needed to be managed.
I needed something that would run the audio system and manage things for me. With the number of complaints I've heard from audio folks over the years about the general lack of attention to audio in games, I was surprised by the lack of solid information on what kinds of features you would want in an audio system. I looked around on the web, then went through all the Game Programming Gems books until I found Creating an Audio Scripting System. Quite a few of the ideas I implemented came from that article.
If you're an audio person and there's important stuff I'm missing, or if this is all just wrong, by all means tell me in the comments.

Interested in buying merchandise featured in this particular website? Just click at any specific item link given and it will safely and securely get you to that particular item webpage at ebay. When buying things on the net, you must never provide significant details about yourself on their online client form. Just type in your full name, age, gender, the street address in which you will receive your obtained goods along with other information necessary to finish the deal. Don't forget never to key in your Social Security Number. People who frequently sell products on auction sites will more than likely to have established a history. Learn just what previous customers tell you regarding him or her and whether he is a vendor one should transact with or evade by any means.
Be wary of imposters. It can be not uncommon for crooks to pretend they're in connection with a particular company or charitable organisations and lure you straight into building a transaction or contribution with their organization. Contest between suppliers results in their need of always securing sales no matter what. Thus, they provide showcases in order to attract people to purchase their goods. Bidding on stuff you do not need or do not actually know about might actually make you rue bidding on them initially, especially if you win the bidding. It is simply advisable to avoid bidding on items you don't really need.
If you are running a business online selling products or goods, obtaining your goods on the internet in mass allows you to save and bring in more cash in the process. A good e-commerce website must be uncomplicated so clients can effortlessly move through the site without any problems, include items that they want to their shopping cart, and purchase them upon checking out. Many web owners have the ability to support their blog including earning revenue by means of affiliate marketing.

FasTrack® is ABIM's online system for program directors and administrators to track and complete program evaluations for residents and fellows.
FasTrack Redesign
The new FasTrack evaluation system, intended to go live in Summer 2015 for core internal medicine and subspecialty training, will reduce the reporting burden faced by program directors by aligning ACGME's Milestones with ABIM's FasTrack system.
What does this mean for you now?
- Program directors will need to fill out one additional category in the Winter ACGME Web ADS form: an assessment of overall clinical competence.
- The Milestones data submitted to ACGME in Spring 2015 will be transferred to ABIM's FasTrack system for ABIM's Summer 2015 evaluations.
- To prepare for the transition, program directors must submit all outstanding FasTrack evaluations from prior academic years (2013-14 and previous) in ABIM's current FasTrack system by March 31, 2015.
What can you expect in Summer 2015?
- In Summer 2015, program directors will review and confirm resident and fellow evaluation data through ABIM's new FasTrack system.
- The summative evaluations for the six competencies and assessment of overall clinical competence will be used to determine certification eligibility.
- The ACGME/ABIM Milestones will not be used to make high stakes eligibility decisions for certification; however, ABIM will collect and study Milestones data to determine validity and usability for informing competency assessment.
Fellowship Fee Credit – Evaluation Deadline
- In order for Fellows (year 1 and on) to receive ABIM Maintenance of Certification fellowship fee credit and MOC points, you MUST annually submit their FasTrack evaluation.
- Fellows engaged in training are eligible to receive a one-year MOC fee credit and 20 MOC points, 10 points each in medical knowledge and practice assessment.
- Fellows need only to enroll in the ABIM MOC program to be designated as "Meeting MOC Requirements".
- Receipt of the fee credit and MOC points each year allows your fellows to meet MOC requirements while engaged in training.
- Receipt of the fee credit and MOC points are contingent on ABIM receiving a completed evaluation of clinical competence via FasTrack for each year of training on or before any stated evaluation deadlines.

When 64-year-old Cottonwood resident Norm Newell sunk his second shot on No. 12 at a local golf course in Cornville from 210 yards out May 7, he didn't even know it.
"From where we were, we actually couldn't see the cup or the ball once it landed. My buddy said the shot looked pretty good so when we went up to find it, I looked around and couldn't find it," Newell said, figuring he had lost his ball.
"My friend George [Meyer] said, well look in the cup," Newell recalled. "And there it was."

The Last Time Newtown Built A School In Sandy HookThursday, November 7, 2013
"Sandy Hook School — 1956 — Visitors Welcome." The white sign is now iconic, having appeared in countless news video clips and photographs following 12/14. The date, 1956, was the year the school opened, but its story began a couple of years earlier.
It was January 28, 1954, when the Board of Education conducted a special meeting to address the town's rising population. Reports predicted such an overwhelming increase of school-aged children that another educational facility would be needed.
School Demolition Brings The Media Back To TownFriday, October 25, 2013

State Action Gets Sandy Hook School Project Off To A Fast StartMonday, October 14, 2013
Sandy Hook School demolition and remediation work is already running ahead of schedule, thanks to the state recommending remediation vendor Bestech also handle demolition work at the site.
According to First Selectman Pat Llodra, late last Friday, October 11, the town received notice from the state that the town could move forward using Bestech for both remediation and demolition under a "professional services" designation, which means the town would not have to go out to bid for a separate demolition contractor.

Speaking to The Bee on October 7, First Selectman Pat Llodra said the property is now in the hands of the construction teams.

Man was trying to "squeeze the demons out of the young girl."
By Elias C. ArnoldThe Arizona Republic
PHOENIX, Ariz. — A 48-year-old Phoenix man whom authorities say was choking his 3-year-old granddaughter during an exorcism early Saturday died after struggling with police officers who went into the home to investigate, Phoenix police said.
"It's very bizarre, (a) very unusual and pretty horrific situation this young child was involved in," said Sgt. Joel Tranter, a Phoenix police spokesman.
Police responded about 7:30 a.m. to a check-welfare call at a house in the 2200 block of North 28th Street, north of McDowell Road.
A relative reported she thought an exorcism was going on at the family home after one was performed two days earlier, police said.
Police said officers heard yelling from outside the house, gained entry through a back door and rushed to a bedroom.
Two officers forced the door open slightly to find Marquez sitting on a bed blocking the door, police said.
The man held the girl in a headlock with one arm as he was squeezing her torso with his other arm, causing her to gasp and scream, police said.
Investigators later learned the man was trying to "squeeze the demons out of the young girl," Tranter said.
One officer made his way into the room, confronted Marquez and touched him with a Taser, which apparently had no effect.
A second officer followed. The officers managed to free the girl, and handed her out the door to a family member.
An officer touched Marquez with the Taser a second time and eventually handcuffed him, police said. Marquez soon developed shortness of breath and officers performed CPR until medical crews arrived.
Marquez was pronounced dead at the hospital
Police are investigating the incident.
Autopsy results are not expected for several weeks, Tranter said. Tranter declined to identify the girl's mother because she was not arrested.
The girl also was not identified. She is expected to recover.

In 2008, Los Angeles Clippers star player Baron Davis and skateboarder-turned-director Stacy Peralta teamed up to release Crips and Bloods: Made In America, a documentary addressing gang activity in South Central Los Angeles. Now, Don Cannon and DJ Skee have been inspired by the film to create a new mixtape featuring the same region's hottest hip-hop talents. On the newly-released Bang Along, The Game tells of his experiences as a young Compton Blood, describing not only the shootouts but also the summer nights spent picking up ladies, shooting hoops, and even buying ice cream sandwiches when the truck pulls up to the corner. Game's heartfelt story receives a pitch-perfect instrumental accompaniment courtesy of Kanye West, who samples a line from Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready (the record's title is actually a creative mishearing of "Thank the Lord"). If you like what you hear, stay on the lookout for Game's fourth LP (yes, he has changed his mind about retiring), tentatively titled The R.E.D. Album.

|Mariners' McLaren is a confidant for Boone's alcohol problems
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 27 February 2008 00:10
What wasn't fun about 37 home runs and a league-best 147 RBIs? Boone was an All-Star who probably would have been an MVP if teammate Ichiro Suzuki hadn't been so brilliant in his rookie season.
Mariners manager John McLaren was there for Boone's boon. He was the bench coach for the star who once walked into spring training with Seattle and declared, ``Don't call me Bret. Call me 'The Boone.'''
``To this day, I call him 'The Boone,''' McLaren said Tuesday, laughing. ``He calls me up and it's, 'Hey, The Boone. What's up?'''
Yes, Boone was the life of that Mariners' party, the last one to reach the postseason.
``When you talk about Boone, you can always smile,'' McLaren said.
Almost always.
More recently, McLaren has been a confidant through Boone's darkest days. The three-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner abruptly walked away from the game in 2006 while in spring training with the New York Mets. It was his third team in eight months.
Boone said then he had lost his mental edge. No one really knew why. Except McLaren.
Monday, their secret was out. Boone, now 38 and attempting a comeback with the Washington Nationals, told reporters in Viera, Fla., that alcohol had become his main problem.
``I'm very proud of Bret ... I've been in touch with him a lot and I knew exactly what was going on,'' McLaren said, his arms folded across his chest while biting his lower lip. ``For him to admit he made a mistake and to deal with it, he's doing the right thing.
``Bret's a good person. He wants to be a great dad, and he's doing that. He looked himself in the mirror, knew he had a problem and he took care of it. I support him totally.''
The Nationals signed Boone to a minor league contract, but promoted him to their major league camp this week. He told The Seattle Times on Monday: ``It just became commonplace to go drink six, eight, 10 beers. It was a normal thing.''
He told a similar story to MLB.com, saying his problem began during his best years in Seattle.
``You get into a routine. And you do it for years,'' Boone said. ``When you're young, you can handle it. You rebound from it. And it's not an issue.
``All of a sudden with me, it became a little bit of an issue.''
He said he spent 26 days in an outpatient rehabilitation center near his home in San Diego. He said he hasn't had a drink in seven months.
It gives more meaning to what Nationals manager Manny Acta said about Boone on Monday.
``Bret's not actually competing with all those guys. He's competing against himself first,'' Acta said.
Acta did not comment on Boone on Tuesday, after Boone's revelation that was not a complete shock to those who were around his former Mariners teams.
Yet McLaren said he didn't see any warning signs in 2001 and '02 while he was Seattle's bench coach - or in their many chats after the Mariners and Twins both cut Boone midway through 2003.
``No. If I did, I would certainly tell the man. I consider myself close to him and I didn't see it,'' McLaren said.
``Maybe I should have looked harder.''
Lost behind the intense publicity over their sport's battle with performance-enhancing drugs, clubs are trying to be proactive about alcohol consumption during team events. The Mariners are among the teams that have instituted rules in the past year on drinking during team flights. Seattle prohibits it within three hours of home on inbound flights.
But beer remains as much a part of baseball as locker stalls - or outfield walls that have beer advertisements painted on them. It's been that way well before Boone entered the major leagues in 1992 with the Mariners, the latest generation of a baseball family.
During his Seattle heyday, Boone was once irate over being ordered to bunt on consecutive nights.
``Boone doesn't bunt. Boone gets paid to drive in runners,'' he told McLaren.
McLaren told ``The Boone'' to direct his anger at manager Lou Piniella.
``I come back 20 minutes later and they've both got a beer in their hands and laughing,'' McLaren said, chuckling. ``And I'm the idiot.''
Lately, he's been Boone's friend.
``He's got a little bit of 'Leave it to Beaver' in him, and that's what makes him so special,'' McLaren said. ``He's a fun guy. He played the game hard, with passion.
``He's a standup guy. ... Besides him talking about himself a little bit - a lot - he was a fun guy to be around.''

The problem with what you say is that you don't post any facts to back up your opinions which you have been spoon fed. I can give you facts about marijuana all day long and I don't make a claim unless I post a source for rational thinkers to at least look at.
Top researchers have said that marijuana (THC) is "the Holy Grail of medicine, a cancer cure."
"Dr. Nagarkatti and his team of researchers were one of the first labs to prove a cannabinoid key can seek out a cancerous cell in the immune system, unlock the receptor, and direct the cancer cell to self-destruct."
This info is from a PBS documentary. Where did your info come from?
The illegality aspect of marijuana started back in the 30's when Utah needed to stop the Mexican migrant farm workers form coming and taking jobs and it worked for them. Then later on Nixon needed a way to stop the peace movement because it was exposing the truth about the Viet Nam war and making him and the war mongers look bad. Pot was fully criminalized so he could kick the hippies asses and send them to jail. Also the large corporations (textile, pharmaceuticals) have spent a fortune lobbying the law makers to keep it illegal so they can make money from known dangerous products.
You speak as if pot smokers are illogical and stupid but it is you that fits that bill because you have fallen for lies and have no problem passing them around as truth. Can you not see how this makes you look to a rational, logical, and intelligent pot smoker?
Hey, "the sucking sound" that DID happen may have been your logical thought process leaving your head as you accepted lies about marijuana from your government.
#11422 Aug 10, 2012
Yes cannabis can help to cure cancer, if it can not cure it directly. This is the original Spanish paper:
But that incredible discovery has been made about 30 years ago in the USA, and hidden purposefully by George Bush senior, and since then. I did not believe this when I read Jack Herer on this, until the Spanish confirmed that tremendous discovery. It is an immense scandal which illustrates the non sense of mixing health and politics. Look here:
Cannabis is not just good to alleviate the effect of chemo and radio therapies. It is just much better and more efficacious than those terrible technics. It saves people.
For the sick people, we can say that sobriety kills more than cannabis. If the prohibitionists were really believing in their logic, and did get the genuine facts, they should make sobriety illegal and cannabis obligatory!(Of course their logic is dubious).
"If people let government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." Thomas Jefferson
#11423 Aug 10, 2012
You can take a look at this also, and all around, to see that it can be effective on babies:
One case is not a statistics of course, but the point is that the statistics and the biochemistry predicted and confirms this.
All people having cancer should suit the government for hiding those facts, and for not taking the right measure: to legalize fully and completely marijuana, and then all drugs.
Prohibition has killed and injured more people than any drug has ever done, even alcohol.

Hey Mike Phelps you just got busted hitting a bong, what will you do next......

Yes. You are right. Zonked out potheads are in denial. They will go to any length to rationalize their addiction to mind rotting pot. Perhaps it is too late for them. The concern decent hard working "mentally alert" tobacco smokers have is the corrosive effect these druggies may be having on the children. This concern goes far beyond Long Beach, where revolutionary Council has a policy of "accommodating" "ill" potheads.

It's common sense! Everyone needs to use their moral compass on this.
Stop making this about race, poverty, gay rights, illegals & prohibition of alcohol in the 1930's.
Allowing our communities families & friends to consume drugs for the sake of taxation is wong.
Anti tobacco should be all over this. Spare the air dissent care either. Inhaling smoke regardless if it's tobacco or marijuana is not healthy.
If you need medical ailments, take pain killers / medicine & stop cramming legalization of mariuana down our throats!

Who needs ailments,lol must have been a typo you made.
Which side effect laden pills would you recommend? Have you ever read any of the side effects posted with prescription meds?
The only side effects with marijuana is an empty bag of cheetos and a lawn that didn't get mowed.
If you are concerned for your children then you need to research the truth.

Pot rocks mannnn...
But whenever you start selling $h1t on the black market you become mafia. The law banning it is foolish. Really foolish. Prohibition doesn't work & never will.
But anyone can grow a weed. Marijuana is a forgiving plant to grow. It's like growing a tomato.
You are probably just another lazy human who makes up fantasies in their head about how they are saving the dying & you're a hero in your own mind growing & selling it for profit.
If you want to be a real hero, get a real job that contributes to the system you parasite from, grow pot on the side & give it to cancer patients for free you little hoar.
Smoke a bowl after work to unwind, not first thing after the sun rises you useless addict.
PS: If this description fits, which I'm 87.5% sure that it does, please don't be offended. Come to Ra and accept his strength to be a productive human for society.

Further studies have shown that he did drink orange juice, and the city governor took the decision to make orange juice illegal there, of course.
This is no more illogical than what you and the source you give suggest, Ronald.
You are doing the common confusion between p -> q and q -> p.
All studies which do not mock logic and statistics show that pot is rather beneficious, for the physical body as for the mental mind. I gave the references. The only bad side effect of pot sustained by correct statistics that I found is that it can have a slight detrimental effect on the articulations, but still less than many legal products, notably alcohol.
#11435 Aug 11, 2012
Keep that bunson burner working, it's better than a bic lighter.
#11436 Aug 11, 2012
You could be right. If you have any evidence that the coroner found any indication that the pot smoking "Black" who ate the face of the homeless White guy had ingested any substance - including orange juice - prior to going on his pot driven cannibalistic rage, would you be so kind to cite your source so I can give it all the consideration it deserves? Please do not cite source material that is compiled by high paid 60s 70s era taxpayer supported Government university "professors".*(drugg ies)*

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
-no more MH on playstaion for the forseeable future
-the new format of this place SUCKS... and not in the 'i dont like change' way, in the 'weve had this for 6+ months and it still sucks' kind way.
-we are not allowed to talk about any other MH games beyond PSP here.
-there are like 5 hardcore MH fans on this forum. we all know each other now and talk elsewhere (though i havet said whats up in whil, so ill say it here. whats up guys?)
thats why i see this place as dead. ill still check in every so often. and im still palying MHP3 10 months after release!

we all do. they said they had an early meeting and they'd call but they never do.... And to think i made them waffles!
well man i still skulk the forum now and again, but since i have not moved on to mhp3, (no cfw, no japanese so no point for me) and i am still hammerring away at unite i dont have anything to say that anyone wants to hear... so eh i dont really post...
that and the new forums are not so hot...
aside from that im pushing the K mark in hours on unite and still have no desire to put unite down...
as for capcoms treatment of the western fans... eh what are you going to do? most western gamers are lazy slack asses, they dont like mh because (adopting whining voice) "its tooooooooo haaaaard".... you know what im saying if it isnt fifa or cod the west doesnt want to know...
I try to lurk every now and then, but like it was stated before, we are not allowed to talk about any other consoles or games on them. Remember when MH3 came out and people were being banned for so much as mentioning the W word?
*looks around hoping no mods heard that*

Zuma and Obama talk conflict resolution at L'Aquilla. A strike threatens World Cup plans. The movement to nationalize mines picks up steam. An Indian outsourcing firm outsources to South Africa. And why Jo'burg is the best place to be in this recession.
Top News: South African President Jacob Zuma had his first face-to-face meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama at the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy. According to a spokesman for the ruling African National Congress, the two leaders talked for about half an hour and got along well. Topics discussed included conflict resolution in Africa and increased interactions between the two countries. Asked directly whether he planned to visit South Africa for soccer's World Cup next year, Obama said that it his goal to do so. Obama last visited Africa's largest economy in 2006, as a U.S. senator.

The Congress of the People, a party formed late last year by ANC dissidents, is facing an existential crisis after two prominent figures of the party resigned from their respective positions. Cope, as the party is known, was seen as a potential alternative to the dominant ANC but finished a distant third behind the ANC and the Democratic Alliance in general elections in April. The fledgling party has been plagued by internal leadership squabbles from its inception in December.
As wildcat strikes by doctors finally appeared headed for resolution, construction workers laid down their tools at several World Cup sites, prompting local World Cup organizers to get involved in the talks between employers and workers. About 70,000 workers received a proposal for increased wages, but it remains unclear whether the strikers deem it acceptable.
The number of confirmed swine flu cases continued to rise to at least 54, including a four-year-old boy returning from Hong Kong. The increase is significant, because the country still had no confirmed cases until a few weeks ago. Authorities downplayed the seriousness of the outbreak, saying the virus is very similar to seasonal flu.
Crime rates have been decreasing of late in South Africa. Or have they? Evidence surfaced that crime statistics had been manipulated in three of the country's nine provinces. In some instances, police failed to report and investigate rape cases, including that of a four-year-old child.
About one million residents of the Eastern Cape city of Mthatha went without power for three weeks. Local authorities blamed (in part) bad weather for the power failures, but the crumbling infrastructure — a recurring theme throughout the country when it comes to electricity production and distribution — appears to be the main cause of the blackouts.
South African National Parks sparked controversy as two schemes to raise money were widely criticized. The agency decided to drop its plan to sell up to 350 white rhinoceroses to private reserves after 10 of them died and others broke out. SANParks is also moving to create a new area on the western edge of the famed Kruger National Park that would be open to trophy hunting. Forty-five white rhinoceroses and two black rhinoceroses have been poached from Kruger National Park since early 2008.
Money: Calls are mounting for the nationalization of South Africa's mines. The ANC Youth League and the Congress of South African Trade Unions both argue that this is enshrined in the Freedom Charter, the 1955 document that serves as a blueprint for the ANC-led government. The ANC's secretary general, Gwede Mantashe, first dismissed the calls but now says the subject is open to debate. Mining Minister Susan Shabangu opposes the move and told private companies that the government doesn't intend to nationalize the mines.
South Africa's antitrust authority launched an investigation into possible price-fixing practices by major supermarket chains. The probe comes at a time when inflation and food prices remain stubbornly high despite the country's first recession in 17 years.
SABMiller, one of the world's largest brewers, announced a major Black Economic Empowerment deal. The transaction, valued at more than $700 million, would put about 10 percent of the company's shares into the hands of black shareholders.
South Africa's economy is not out of the woods yet. Manufacturing output fell 17.1 percent in May, while mining output declined 14.5 percent that month. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan warned that South Africa could face a $7 billion tax revenue shortfall this year.
On a more positive note, India-based Essar, which just bought South African rival CCN Group, announced that it planned to invest about $60 million over the next three years in the local call-center industry. The move is expected to lead to the creation of 5,000 jobs.
Elsewhere: The Confederations Cup wasn't the only major sporting event in South Africa over the past month. The British and Irish Lions, a selection of the best rugby players from those countries, toured South Africa for the first time in 12 years. South Africa won on all counts with a 2-1 victory in the test series and a still-unknown financial windfall as an estimated 40,000 Lions supporters visited the country.
Something to ponder in a global recession: According to a recent survey, Johannesburg is the cheapest city in the world for expatriates. The research by Mercer, which compared prices for housing, food, entertainment and other products and services across 143 cities, found that Tokyo was the most expensive.

How to install Windows apps on Linux with CrossOver (Gallery)
Summary: In this example, I'm installing Microsoft Office 2010 on Mint 16 using CrossOver Linux 13.1.2.
4 of 10Image
Linux instructions for installing WIndows software
This link brings up the CodeWeavers' Web page with detailed instructions on what you'll need to do next. There is, however, one piece missing from their instructions. To install packages on Mint, or any other Linux, you can't be an ordinary user. You have to be running from the administrator's account, aka root or the super-user.
Using a terminal to install a needed Linux program
So, I bring up a terminal — simply start typing the word from the Mint Menu if you don't see the little terminal icon on the menu bar — and type in the command with "sudo" in front of it. Sudo, in Mint and other Linux distributions, tells the terminal that this one command should be run as if you were the administrator.
Installing incidental Windows programs with CrossOver
Along the way to installing Office, CrossOver asks me if I want to install other programs that Office might need. These include fonts, such as, I'm sorry to say Comic Sans, the world's most hated font.

NHL Referees are biased, but not in the way you think
Danny Gray
January 26 2012 09:05AM
Dion Phaneuf pleads for mercy, I think.
The Folks over at Lighthouse Hockey had some qualms with the officiating in Tuesday night's loss to the Leafs. For the second straight game the Leafs did not surrender a power play opportunity to the New York Islanders. While some might don their tin-foil touques and pull out their Glen Beck Chalkboard and begin drawing lines between Brian Burke, Phil Kessel, and Brendan Shanahan, they should know that this is the first time in 10 years that the Leafs have gone two straight games without taking a penalty. But those who have cried foul about NHL officiating at times are onto something; while there is no grand conspiracy referees are indeed biased.
Does the Liles extension mean Grabovski is out in Toronto?
Cam Charron
January 25 2012 01:25PM
As mentioned earlier at The Leafs Nation by Danny Gray, the rumour that John-Michael Liles had re-signed a long-term deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs hit the Internet feeds this morning, securing the future for at least one current Toronto Maple Leaf. The deal was confirmed in the afternoon, with Liles signing a four-year extension worth $3.875M per.
Who is the other Leaf that this extension may effect? Mikhail Grabovski.
Liles Signs 4 Year Extension with Leafs
Danny Gray
January 25 2012 10:53AM
The Leafs get creative in protecting Liles from future concussions
We all know Burke likes to get a head start on the competition. While he did not make a trade today he got out in front of those looking to add a puck moving defenseman to their line-up this summer. As per TSN, Leafs blue-liner John-Michael Liles, @hoosierjm26 on Twitter, has sjgned a 4 year contract with the Leafs. Their sources say the deal is four years at $3.875 per season.
Ron Wilson Definitely Does Match Lines
Danny Gray
January 25 2012 09:35AM
Either Ron Wilson matches lines or Dion Phaneuf just REALLY likes playing against John Tavares
The Leafs home and home sweep of the New York Islanders was important for two reasons. First, the Leafs picked up four crucial points in a tight playoff race to keep pace with three other teams at 55 points. Second, it gives us an opportunity to test Ron Wilson's claim that he does not match lines.
All Hail Mikhail Grabovski
Pension Plan Puppets
January 25 2012 09:34AM
Let me tell you a story my friend. It's a story of a Leafs team that was losing a game 2-0 to the lowly New York Islanders in what was, as things are wont to become for bubble teams in late January, a must win. The Maple Leafs had pressured the Islander a lot but they had been unable to crack Al Montoya's facade while at the other end they had seen the Isles convert two of their limited chances into goals. It seemed like - on a night when other contenders for the final playoff spots were headed towards adding points to their totals - that the Leafs had let a perfectly good opportunity slip them by. And then...a miracle.
Nino Niederreiter, himself a victim of a cowardly headshot by Mark Fistric earlier in the season and no stranger to targeting a player's head, decided that he was going to try to ring Grabbo's bell. Unfortunately, he was unaware that Grabbo's skeleton is made of adamantium or that his hockey skills are equally powered by secret Russian experiments and rage.

The ECB estimated that Eurozone banks would face a capital shortfall of €25 billion in a severe crisis. Earlier work by the authors estimated the shortfall to be 30 times higher. This column argues that this striking divergence can be explained by the ECB's reliance on static risk-weights.
Institutions and economics
One frequently used argument in favour of secession is that there are economic benefits from independence. However, whether or not this is the case remains largely unexplored. This column addresses this question by examining the economic implications of secession in the case of the former Yugoslavia. The authors find that independence had no favourable economic impact. The way secession was achieved, however, mattered. Whereas secession without real conflict did not leave any noticeable economic impact, violent secession has, by contrast, led to a significant destruction of wealth.
The conventional thinking about foreign direct investment is that it may create jobs but also take away market opportunities from domestic firms. This column suggests another spillover to consider. If foreign firms require higher quality inputs, domestic firms who share suppliers with foreign firms gain access to better local inputs. It then argues that this spillover effect can explain a third of the productivity gains within Bangladeshi firms during 1999-2003.
Would the economic benefits of devolving full income tax powers to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly outweigh the costs? Not according to an overwhelming majority of respondents to the monthly survey of the Centre for Macroeconomics (CFM), summarised in this column. A smaller majority of CFM experts do not accept the economic case for establishing 'English votes for English laws' with the same tax and spending powers as the Scottish Parliament.
A common view in international finance is that currency trades make money because high-interest-rate currencies tend to appreciate. This column argues that this view is flawed, suggesting that currency risk premia may be much simpler than previously thought. The carry trade has little to do with the appreciation of the currency, but instead exploits persistent differentials in interest rates across countries. It is thus important to understand why some currencies have persistently higher interest rates than others.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

Gore Verbinski to Next Direct Steve Carell in Paranoid Thriller; Lines Up Two More Projects
by Adam Chitwood Posted 43 days ago
Filmmaker Gore Verbinski is coming back with a vengeance. After helming the massively popular Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy with a swell mix of elegance and goofiness, the director took his talents to the animated world with the fantastic Rango. Most recently, however, Verbinski helmed the poorly received and very expensive The Lone Ranger. As a fan of the filmmaker I was still eager to see what he would do next, and now Verbinski is lining up his next three projects. He will first helm an untitled paranoid thriller starring Steve Carell, and then plans to shoot the horror thriller A Cure for Wellness and the action comedy Passengers back-to-back. More after the jump.
