The debate over pot should have been settled 50 years ago. So many lives ruined because its been illegal not because people use it. Thomas Jefferson had the remedy when Govt. overstepped its boundry and that was to ignore them. Kind of hard to ignore having your door kicked in at 3 in the morning over freaking pot but that is what we must do. Just keep ignoring them until they stop this insanity. The Constitution gives no authority of their drug policy. Drug laws belong to the states and if your state has no other law than the Fed. law then the Constitution gives you the right even if the jack boot thugs don't.November 03 2010 at 12:59 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
This doesn't surprise me, but it does disappoint me. Alchohol is by far more destructive than marijauna yet it remains legal. The whole deal is the court systems are making millions of dollars prosecuting non violent offenders over pot possession. It's all about the money. The state knew it could not effectively tax pot, so they left their only other money making option in place. If they would concentrate more on going after the violent offenders and not have to persecute people who have a few ounces of pot on them, we would all be a lot better off.November 03 2010 at 12:50 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

You didn't vote on this, it was smoke and whistles. The very idea that people think they were going to pass this law as the government steps up measures to get rid of alcohol and cigarettes is ridiculous. The "Thanks for not smoking" is a polite way of saying you can't smoke here or there or anywhere! And drinking is... Can't drive and drink, can't drink in public, can't be intoxicated in public, can't have an open container, can't drink at work, we'll firer you for drinking, we'll test you for drinking, we'll sue you for drinking. These are federal mandates and only by changing federal law will you change marijuana laws. Nope this was about getting the democratic vote out, the liberals, the Boxer win. The dems aren't ever actually gonna let you smoke, hell they killed cigarettes and alcohol! Don't even think about marijuana!November 03 2010 at 12:38 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Isay we should have marijuana legal because it would help everyone that has a drug problem focus more on marijuana which is less harmless to others. Marijuana helps take your mind off of things and helps u release pain in your life and it also makes u feel relaxed. Marijuana is something that helps put people in places that set's their mine free.November 03 2010 at 12:35 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
This is whats up with the, "what when where and why." Can you grow a tobacco leaf on your kitchen window pain? No. How hard and expensive is it to make your own alcohol? It would be a lot easier to get it at the store. So there you have it. Taxes, taxes taxes. The proposition said they would be allowed to tax marijuana if this initiative passed but the problem lies in the fact that mary jane is a weed and since its is so easily reproduced at home all the politicians know the taxation of it wont go as planned. No one would buy it. They would grow it. The tobacco industry would loose sales because people would smoke pot and not feel so anxious to need tobacco. The alcohol industry wold lose sales because there are many who would rather use pot than get drunk. And the biggest reason it didn't pas is because good old uncle sam would lose tax money that they so desperately need to exploit more of out of all our back pockets so Halliburton can go build a natural gas pipe for the middle eastern people who don't want them there. Don't you think they have their own contractors for that? If you really want it that bad to get over issues you think this will help pretty much anyone can get a medical card in Cali. Even though I think it should of passed it wont until they require that you only smoke the manufactured stuff. And their reasons will be because home brews will be alternative avenues for people to lace it with other illegal drugs of choice so when they get caught they can say they didn't know it was in the weed. It might pass eventually but it will only be available to you through a manufactured brand. Are they hiring?..lolNovember 03 2010 at 12:15 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
give it time, its not ready an its not like it isnt damn near legal here already. most officers look the other way on it already an why do you want big business to come into the pot game anyway? in due time better laws will be written an it will pass!November 03 2010 at 12:15 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down Reply
I dont use drugs but, How is it i can get a proscriptions for drugs that are legal that list side effect that would kill a horse ??? But a weed that grows natrully that has no side effects is illigal? just curious.November 03 2010 at 11:52 AM Report abuse Permalink +5 rate up rate down Reply
I hate that my son smoke pot, however, I would rather him do that than drink and go out and kill an innocent family or anyone on the roads. I think it should be legal, however it still will not matter in the work place, because you would still be a liablilty to your employers insurance company and your employer will not pay the higher premiums just so you can smoke pot. If legalized, it can be taxed and make A LOT of money for the state and the country just like the tax on cigarettes.November 03 2010 at 11:51 AM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply

SteelSeries Unveils Gold-Plated 6GV2 Gaming Keyboard
"SteelSeries has kick started its CeBIT 2010 campaign with the launch of an all new mechanical gaming keyboard – the 6GV2. "
Published: 4th March 2010 | Source: SteelSeries |
SteelSeries has kick started its CeBIT 2010 campaign with the launch of an all new mechanical gaming keyboard – the 6GV2. The high-end keyboard boasts of keys that are 18-karat gold-plated.
The 6GV2 is based on the highly successful SteelSeries 7G keyboard, but in a slimmer mould. It comes with the same powerful buffer-system that has been designed keeping gamers in mind. The keyboard has the ability to accept and process as many simultaneous key presses as the number of keys it carries. With its built-in "anti-ghosting" feature, the keyboard lets gamers move, crouch, aim, fire, and check their scores at the same time while playing first person shooter games. This functionality is currently not supported by any other keyboards available in the market.
The keyboard uses a mechanical tactile system that makes it easy to use. No-click switches and iron-infused plastic give the keyboard extended life while making it comfortable for long use. The ergonomic design means the keyboard offers faster reaction times and advanced key combinations for more Actions per Minute. SteelSeries claims that the gold-plated switches have a lifetime of 50 million operations, which is 10 times more than that of conventional keyboards.
Talking about the new series, SteelSeries CEO Bruce Hawver said, "We've been watching professional teams such as Fnatic, SK Gaming, Evil Geniuses and others win grand slam tournaments with the 7G as their weapon of choice and have seen it recognized as one of the most impressive performance keyboards on the gaming market. Keeping that rockstar mentality, we designed the slimmed down SteelSeries 6Gv2 to pack the same punch without compromising response time, durability or performance."
According to the official announcement, SteelSeries will start shipping the 6GV2 keyboard in the second half of this year with a price tag of €79.99.

So I have a Laing Pump (18W) etc etc. but it vibrates so much.Thinking of getting a second one and...
I've seen a few dampers on the market, but I was wandering if you guys have any recommendations?
Any others that are really good?
Thats all you need ;)
Maybe if i install the pump at the bottom of the case with these 4?
so i cut some old soft 1/2" id tubing i had lying around, made a strip and poked a hole through and screwed it straight into the case with the strip of tubing sandwiched in between.
didnt overtighten it so theres a decent gap inbetween the strips for airflow.
yet to see how it works, but fingers crossed

Cub Scouts race for fun, fellowship at Pushmobile Derby in Abilene
Wolf Den (second grade): Pack 217 from Abilene: Timothy Dodd, Jericho Pace, Logan Parker and Ethan Roggendorff. Den leaders are Micah and Hailie Wolfe.
Bear Den (third grade): Pack 227 from Clyde: Ethan Adkins, Hunter Bankston, Zach Bischop and William Hill. Den leaders are Tim and Toni Wilde.
Webelos Den (fourth and fifth grades): Pack 217 from Abilene: Micah Blackman, Luis Chavira, Andrew Clute and Ethan Emery. Den leaders are Gilbert Salinas and Jennifer Clute.
Grand champions: Webelos Dean Pack 217 from Abilene.
With names like "Grave Digger," racing carts with their Cub Scout builders and riders from the Buffalo Mountains District met Saturday for the fifth annual pushmobile derby at the Abilene Christian Schools parking lot.
The 38 scouts — grades 1 through 5 — built racing carts with the help of family and friends. Most carts were four-wheeled with a flatbed and a seat.
While one scout pushed a cart, another rode it. Other scouts took over part of the race as the boys raced back and forth to complete an 800-foot relay. The eight teams had one cart each.
Shouts of encouragement from friends and family echoed across the racetrack as the boys zipped in their carts.
Ethan Adkins, 7, of Clyde, was racing in a red, white, and blue pushmobile with a barrel placed on it that resembled an engine. His parents, Carye and Amanda Adkins, along with grandmother Mary Anthamatten of Nocona, cheered on the sidelines.
"We used the wheels off a wheelchair for the pushmobile," Ethan said.
Colton Wolfe, 8, of Abilene, raced in the "Grave Digger" pushmobile.
"This is really good for the kids," said Colton's mother, Hailie Wolfe. "The racing teaches teamwork, creativeness and helps kids work together."
Dionna Blackman, Abilene, brought her son Micah, 10, to participate in his first pushmobile race.
"Scouting and racing builds camaraderie and is good exercise," Blackman said.
Ethan Emery, 9, Andrew Clute, 10, and Luis Chavira, 10, all of Pack 217 in Abilene, know about winning.
"We were the grand champions last year," Andrew said.
And they did it again this year. When the races ended, they and Micah were named grand champions.

History of Web Hosting
Before the early nineties, there was a commercial restriction placed on any company looking to expand to the World Wide Web. That meant if a company wanted to place information online, they had to purchase their own web hosting server to store all the data. Astute entrepreneurs recognized this trend and purchased servers in order to rent out the space to potential companies that were too busy and disinterested to operate their own. The entrepreneur's digital monopoly over the internet is what eventually paved the way for the web hosting industry.
With the official introduction of web hosting in 1991, businesses were given the opportunity to expand their revenue steam. Since that time, web hosting has been made accessible to the masses and anyone who needs an online presence; today, we define it as the process of storing the data and information contained within a website. A web hosting service provides space to store this data & information and supplies connectivity to the internet for its users. Similar to renting from a landlord, web hosting companies lease a certain amount of space, disk room and network transfer for each client. Web hosting plans vary on factors like function, space, monthly budget, traffic and management.
The World Wide Web is now a secondary avenue where customers in any part of the world can purchase a product and engage with a brand. Space on a server is now widely available and because of continued improvements and trouble shooting, almost anyone can set up and maintain their own website without paying a fortune.
In the past, web hosting was an extremely expensive venture. Presently, small to large corporations can purchase cheap space on a server and choose from a variety of web hosting features and functions. Websites are an essential tool for any business and, by association, so is web hosting. Every year there are millions upon millions of dollars invested in improving web hosting techniques. If seventeen years has proven anything, it's that the industry will continue to grow and develop with the demands of the market as outlined by you, the user.
