Last night was the first debate (transcript link) between candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. Only the most diehard Obama fans believe he won the debate. And today I have the entertainment of watching a number of left-wing talking heads trying to to appear to not be in a panic mode brought on by Obama's clear loss at the debate. Continue reading

Don't Encourage ThemPosted in Government, Morality, Philosophy, Politics, Running for President with tags character, election, lesser of two evils, philosophy, political candidates, politicians, Politics, President, vote, voting on May 25, 2012 by Xajow
I am starting to see and hear the "don't vote for _____ because you'll just help _____ win" nonsense once again. This happens every election cycle. Do not fall for this reasoning.
If you vote, then vote for the person you believe will be the best person for the job.
There is an argument to be made against voting. It is often summed up by a old joke about a woman who was asked if she voted, and she replied "No. It just encourages them." Oh I know, arguing against voting is supposed to be horrible. "If you don't vote," I have been told, "then you have no right to complain." That is hogwash. Wait, let me explain.
People who vote for this or that candidate because they do not want this or that candidate to win are the folks who have no right to complain. The people who vote for this or that candidate because so-and-so cannot win are the folks who have no right to complain. What do I mean? I mean that supporting the status quo that has gotten us into this mess means you're part of the problem not part of the solution. The people trying to find a better way, the people who want to vote for the candidate who will change things, the people who believe that voting is just giving support to a broken system, those are the people with a right to complain.
I will never tell anyone to not vote. I say you have to decide for yourself. If the candidate you like is not the Repocrat or Demublican nominee, you are not wasting a vote to vote for the candidate you prefer. If all the people who say "I really like this guy, but he can't win" would vote for the person they really like anyway, it would change the political landscape.
Some people tell me I am supposed to choose between the lesser of two evils. As has been pointed out many times, the lesser of two evils is still evil. Why would I want to vote for that? Why should I sacrifice my convictions and my morals to support something evil merely because someone else deems it a lesser evil? No. I refuse. To put this another way, if the person who takes the office is little different from the person who is voted out, nothing has truly changed. And that would mean I had wasted my vote.
So while I say "do not encourage them," I am not saying do not vote. I am saying if you vote, do not pick an "evil" candidate. If you vote, then vote like you care about who your leader is, not just about getting/keeping that other guy out of office. I am saying if you vote, then vote as if your morals and your principles actually matter to you. If you do that, then you will never waste your vote. The people who tell you otherwise are generally the same people who voted over and over for the
schmucks politicians who got us into this mess, so you probably should not be taking their political advice in the first place.
And while I am talking about elections, I want to say something about voting for Obama. If you genuinely believe he is the best candidate for the job, then vote for him. Please do not vote for him because of his skin color. If anything should ever be done without regard to the color of a person's skin, voting for who holds public office is it. One of the things that made me nearly ill in 2008 was the notion that people were supposed to vote for Obama because of the color of his skin. Over and over I heard people talk about they had an obligation to vote for Obama because he would be the first black President. That was and is so very wrong.
Please, please, please, do not misunderstand me. I do not care what color a candidate's skin might be. It could be indigo or plaid or lavender blue dilly dilly for all I care. Please, no matter what color your skin may be, and no matter what you may hear about voting for a black man, remember that the candidate's skin is not the part of him (or her) making the decisions. What is in the candidate's brain is what matters. The character and the philosophy and the ideas of the candidate are what matters. And that should be why you vote or not for a candidate.
And for the record, yes, I do vote.
Some News from MinnesotaPosted in Anti-libertarianism, In the News, Libertarianism, Morality, Politics, Running for President, Uncategorized with tags GOP, libertarians, Minneapolis, minneapolis star tribune, Minnesota, minnesota state convention, Morality, Politics, Republican Party, Republicans, Ron Paul, Star Tribune on May 20, 2012 by Xajow
No, I am not in Minnesota. But the news of the progress Ron Paul supporters have made there is encouraging. But what I have to say also has to do with what happened before the Minnesota state Republican convention.
I'll start with a pre-convention article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Paul supporters have already flexed their might in the state's Republican Party. They claim 20 of the 24 national delegates already selected at local Republican gatherings. They ousted a GOP insider from the party's ruling body and thwarted some sitting lawmakers' attempts at party positions.
While Paul has suspended his presidential bid, he's made clear that his fight in the party is far from over and that the next front is in Minnesota. The 12-term Texas congressman will address the convention Friday night. It's a privilege he was denied four years ago and supporters have stewed about the slight ever since.
"Starting with the Minnesota State Convention this weekend, our movement has an opportunity to secure more delegates, take control of more local and state parties … to achieve lasting victory in the years to come," said John Tate, Paul's campaign manager.
This is an example of the kind of thing Ron Paul supporters all over the country are trying to accomplish. To start taking control of the party. These are the real hope and change people. They are not waiting for someone to give it to them from the top down. They are making the change they want to see happen. They are making a difference. This is how it is done, folks. The only criticism I can make is that this should have happened a few decades ago.
But not everyone is happy about it.
That promise to "take control" is making some longtime Republicans queasy. Republicans who have labored in the party trenches for years consider the Paul supporters upstarts who refuse to see the difference between Democratic President Obama and Romney.
Maybe they do not refuse to see the difference. Maybe they see that the difference is so small that it hardly matters. And that would be Romney's fault, not the fault of Ron Paul supporters.
"The hideous Ron Paul invasion of the Minnesota Republican Party is not quite over … but enough evidence is in hand to draw some grim conclusions for those who are not enamored of a … fringe cult political figure who speaks to alienated, fairly ignorant and frequently unwashed lost souls," said longtime Republican activist John Gilmore on his blog this week.
Wow. The sooner control of the GOP is wrested from the hands of people like Mr. Gilmore the better. His attitude is one of the problems with the Republican party generally. They treat anyone who challenges their authority as "unwashed" upstarts who are too ignorant to know better. They have become the stuffy old Scholastics of the GOP. In my opinion, they refuse to acknowledge the problems that are staring them in the face, and they are offended by people like Ron Paul who have the courage to acknowledge the problems.
What problems? Well, favoring big government programs for one. Republican politicians have done almost nothing to actually curb spending. When they had control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency, they spent and spent and spent some more. And even now, the best plan any of them (except for Ron Paul and maybe one or two others) can come up with is to slightly decrease projected future spending growth. When Republicans had a chance to reform education, instead of lessening the federal government's role, they gave us No Child Left Behind. When they had a chance to reform federal health care programs, instead we got Medicare D. Last presidential election season, the GOP nominated a "maverick" who wanted to increase the war on drugs, clamp down on immigration, control political speech, and establish mandatory national service. And in the current presidential election season, the frontrunner for the GOP nomination is a guy who seems to take whatever political stance best suits the audience to which he is talking, whether they are liberal or conservative. About the only good thing to be said the GOP right now is that the frontrunner for the nomination is not Rick Santorum, who, as best I could tell, wanted make government more authoritarian than ever. (Why this was considered by so many people as "true/genuine conservatism" I do not know, but it was a little frightening.) And that does not even mention the fact that Republicans have done as much at the Democrats to cause so much of the economic mess we now have. And do not even get me started on their support for things like the so-called "PATRIOT ACT" and the Defense of Marriage Amendment.
So what happened at the Minnesota state Republican convention? Apparently, the Ron Paul supporters did take over, as another article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune explains.
Longtime activists realized Saturday that their party has changed from one that stressed religious values to one focused on ending the Federal Reserve Bank, bringing back the gold standard and bringing about a strict adherence to the U.S. Constitution.
The conflict between the two forces created a tense and anxious crowd.
In front of 2,000 Minnesota Republicans, GOP National Committeeman Jeff Johnson laid out in stark terms the level of anger at the St. Cloud convention.
To "Ron Paul haters," he advised: "Get over it. … If we don't grow as a party, we die."
To "Ron Paul lovers," he made it clear that longtime GOP activists are angry because they've been displaced. "Some of the anger is from people who have been sitting in those chairs for 20 years or 30 years doing hard work and are not here this year because you are here instead," he said.
Adding to their anger was the belief among some that Paul folks might simply abandon the party once Paul drops out. Johnson advised them: "Don't disappear."
I would guess that Mr. Johnson is probably right about the reasons for anger. But there is more to it than that. Social conservatives do not like Ron Paul or his followers.
The change also marks a clear split from when state Republicans made "family values" the passport for party entry. Instead of evangelizing about religious principles, Paul disciples cheer for a scaled-back foreign policy and the freedom to drink raw milk and grow hemp.
"They took over, basically. Nobody else was organizing," said Andy Parrish, who used to work for Bachmann and is now helping to manage the campaign for the constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. "These libertarians don't believe in natural law whatsoever."
Mitch Mueller of St. Paul, sporting a Minnesota for Marriage button, said he's uncomfortable with the change. The party leadership, he said, is "more concerned about being on the right side of history than on being on the right side of nature or morality."
Mr. Mueller apparently fails to allow for the possibility that Ron Paul and those who support him believe what they are doing is moral. I would guess the same is true for Mr. Gilmore. Unfortunately, people like Mr. Meuller and Mr. Gilmore have been running the party for a long time. And now they are angry that people who do not share their social conservatism have shown up and taken over.
Folks like Mr. Mueller do not seem to grasp that Ron Paul's politics are very much about being on the right side of morality. I will go so far as to assert that Ron Paul probably believes his political beliefs stem from his moral beliefs. While Mr. Mueller and people like him want to have their moral preferences made into law, Ron Paul and people like him believe that in general that sort of law is itself immoral.
To Mr. Gilmore and Mr. Mueller and folks like them I have to say, your way is not working. You have not saved the country. You have not reigned in government. Your way has given us massive debt, intrusive bureaucracy, and a government that continually seeks to wrest more control away from people over their individual lives. You should not be surprised that people are starting to turn away from your way of running things.
To Ron Paul and his supporters I say, keep going. You are in the start of changing things. This is just the beginning. Keep going. Do not stop now.
To those who accuse libertarians of being against people working together I say, here is yet more proof that you are wrong. Clearly these people are working together for what they believe is a common good. While you may disagree with their political goals, you cannot truthfully claim that they do not believe in working together to make things better for society. Obviously they do.

Whether you live in a rural or built up area, your housing or accommodation can still be at risk of flooding. Below are some tips and advice on how to understand and use the Environment Agency Flood Risk Map. You will also find information on the different types of flood risk, and help on what to do after a flood, should the worst happen to you.
By definition, a flood risk combines both potential and probable influences of flooding for all sources in one area. These include the sea, rivers, via rainfall and via drainage systems. .
Environment Agency Flood Risk Map
Page Contents
The flood risk map was set up by the UK government in order to find the flood risk of your current location, or any location you wish to research. When using this service, you will first need to type in your postcode, or the postcode of an area you would like to check. Don't worry if you don't the location exactly accurate, you can move a marker to your desired location on the next page. Once you have done this, you will be able to see what "flood zone" your location falls under.
If you live in an area which falls under Flood Map Zone 1, you will be happy to know that the chances of flooding within one year is 1 in 1000. Areas in zone 1 are shown as white or clear on the flood zone map. These areas are more likely to be approved for building and are advisable areas to move to.
Environment Agency Flood Map Zones 2 and 3
When looking at the Floop Map, zones 2 and 3 are shown respectively as light and dark blue in colour. Areas on the flood map that fall within zone 2 will have a 1 in 100 chance of flooding throughout the calendar year. Flooding can occur from rivers or sea, and planning permission will need to be reviewed by the government before being approved.
Zone 3 is split into 3a and 3b. Living in 3a means that you are at a higher risk of annual flooding, and is known as the High Probability section of zone 3. 3b of Zone 3 is known as a Functional Floodplain area. This means that during times of flooding, this area will allow water to flow freely and be stored safely until flooding has ceased.
Although zones 3a and 3b are not distinguished on the map, you will be able to see which area you fall under via the information shown besides the map.
If an area of land is within flood zone 2 or 3, a flood risk activity permit will be needed in order to acquire planning permission. These can be obtained from the government website. If you do not carry out a flood risk assessment on an area of land that falls within zone 3, any planning permission you put forward may not be granted.
If you live in flood zone 2 or 3, it might be a good idea to sign up for flood warnings. This service is free and means you will be notified of a potential flood if and when it ever happens. If you're moving home, and your new house sits within a flood zone, you can check its flooding history by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com with the following details:
- Your phone number
- A map of your area (this can be via the flood map government website, or via Google Maps – whichever you prefer)
- Over what time you want the report to cover (i.e within the last year)
- The address of the property
Environment Agency Wales Flood Maps
If you live in Wales, you can still use the government flood risk services above, or visit the Natural Resources Wales dedicated website. On this site, you can check the water levels, see if there are any flood warnings in your area, receive information on long-term flood risks, and find local information for what to do during a flood.
Getting help after a flood
No matter the zone or area you live in, you can find that flooding can happen at any time. If you find yourself in the middle of a flood, you can ask for advice and help via The National Flood Forum. Via this website you can also report a flood as it happens, report an electrical hazard (such as power cuts, or broken lines), report gas leaks as a result of a flood, or report an overflowing sewer.
If you need temporary accommodation, you can contact your local council.
If you have prepared of a flood accordingly, you will need to dispose of sandbags at your local rubbish site, and must put non-pollutable items directly in the bin. You can also find more help on the government website on what to do after a flood.

News & Noteworthy
Meadowbrook Industries, LLC v. Walker Management Systems, Inc., 2013 WL 791216 (N.J.App.Div. March 5, 2013), presents the following interesting facts:
- There was a sale of assets (including commercial and government contracts and arrangements) between two solid waste collection utilities; specifically, Walker Management sold its assets to another such company, Meadowbrook Industries.
- "Walker entered into the APA [Asset Purchase Agreement] against the advice of counsel and later elected to proceed without independent counsel."
- The purchase documents (a) were later amended to expressly reflect the fact that Walker could no longer service commercial customers; and also (b) involved problems with the assignment of government contracts.
- What appears to have been an incomplete closing took place on July 10, 2009, with refinements continuing over the next few days. All in all, it appears that the closing was deemed binding, but Walker "was unable to deliver its containers free of liens" totaling $119,695. Meadowbrook agreed to assume that debt; and was still owed $43,767.36 after the closing. "Approximately one week after the closing, Meadowbrook advised Walker that it was disqualified from taking the assignment of the State contracts because of restrictions under the 'pay to play' law."
- In September 2009, Walker filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, seeking to reject the contract as executory. The bankruptcy court issued an Order on November 11, 2009, declaring that the APA was not an executory contract and therefore could not be rejected by Walker.
In the state-court case, the facts apparently were undisputed, and the legal issues seem to essentially have been as follows:
- Did the absence of DEP approval (which the Court implied each party was independently required to seek) render the contract illegal? The Court held in the negative.
- Apparently the unpaid balance of the $43,767.36 (totaling $38,166.50--the Opinion is unclear, but it seems likely the two sums are related) was entered by way of summary judgment in favor of Meadowbrook against Walker, concluding the case.
- The Appellate Division agreed that "DEP approval was required for the transaction", perhaps with Walker having the laboring oar of seeking such approval.
- Because the purchaser was a licensed solid waste collector, the transaction--even though it may have violated various New Jersey statutes in terms of notice--was not inherently illegal; especially (a) in the absence of any statutory declarations to that effect, and (b) because the purchaser was otherwise qualified.
- Surprisingly, the Appellate Division appears to have further held that the doctrine of unclean hands precluded Walker from asserting the issue of illegality, and to have so held because Walker itself had the primary obligation to seek DEP approval. This appears to be a novel equitable twist on what ordinarily is simply an issue of law: namely (and ordinarily), whether the contract is illegal, without necessarily comparing the parties' 'relative equities' in deciding whether to void the illegality.
- As presented by the Meadowbrook Court, the unclean-hands defense actually appears to be more of an estoppel concept. Again, applicability of that concept to contract illegality seems somewhat novel.
- More interestingly, the Court appears to have constructed an 'equitable defense to illegality', as it were. Specifically, because of the "substantial benefit of the bargain" Walker already received, the Court apparently felt that Walker should be estopped to assert the illegality.1
The lesson (and arguably the effect) of Meadowbrook is that parties asserting and defending illegalities should also consider equitable principles.

I personal lost 60 pounds in 2003. Here are some tactics I used to lose the weight.
Get out and do some type of short cardiovascular exercise before breakfast. Even if it is only a ten minute walk. If you want to lose weight this is the best time to exercise. Your body has been working all night without any "new" fuel to help it out. By exercising before breakfast your body will be more likely to go after the fat for energy.
During your morning exercise, imagine yourself with the body you are trying to achieve and come up with a saying that helps motivate you. When I would run in the morning I would say, "every day and every way I am getting leaner, fitter, healthier." I would repeat it over and over.
Eat meats that are 85% lean.
Do not "count" your dailies activities as "exercise". If you are active at work or playing golf everyday, that's great. However, your body is use to that. Walking the dog is walking the dog, that is not exercise unless you are running or walking very fast.
Avoid white flour and bleach grains. Try whole-wheat noodles in your spaghetti. It freaked my kids out at first, but now they love it.
Take an antioxidant supplement every day. Most people are just not getting what they need through food.

There was an unlikely star of Banbridge Town's pre-season.
If you had asked some of club's supporters this time last week who Danny Devlin, no doubt a few would have replied with a shrug of the shoulders.
Fast forward a week, and precious few have still to hear the promising left-back's name.
That's after three starring performances, which begun with a masterful display against Glenavon on Tuesday night.
It was a game that he might never have even got to play in, had boss Stuart King not abandoned his concerns.
"Danny has been very good," enthused the Town manager. "He was thrown in at the deep end against Glenavon.
"I was a bit hesitant about putting him in because I knew Glenavon were bringing a strong team butd he was absolutely outstanding. He followed that up against Annagh United on Thursday and then against Ballymena United on Saturday.
"He did himself no harm whatsoever in those games nd thankfully he showed how good he can be. It's up to him to keep himself in the team now and he has a great chance of getting a shirt for Saturday's game.
"It's great for him and great for the club too that players of his quality are coming through."
Saturday's game against the Sky Blues concluded a packed pre-season for the Crystal Park club, who played six match just in the last week.
"Overall, I'm really pleased with how we got on and how we have played over pre-season," said King. "We've got a good week to prepare for the first game now. Tuesday's training with be more intense than Thursday's as we get ready for Saturday.
"I thought we did great against Ballymena The lads played some great football after the first 20 minutes. We didn't start well and get scored but once we got a equaliser, we really kicked on. Our second goal was oustanding. We strung about 15 or 20 passess together and Clydey (Neil Clydesdale) finished it off."

A new procedure for approving pharmaceutical patents in Brazil comes into effect on June 12 with the aim of ending the arduous double examination by the BPTO and Anvisa. Uncertainties such as whether the national health agency will be happy to be overruled by BPTO will need to be resolved to overcome doubts, however
On June 12 a new procedure for prosecuting pharmaceutical patents in Brazil comes into effect that practitioners hope will greatly improve what has been a huge source of frustration.
But they'll believe it when they see it.

China Files WTO Complaint over U.S. Solar Tariffs
China's latest shot in a tit-for-tat trade war is a World Trade Organization Complaint over U.S. solar tariffs. China filed a complaint with the WTO to help determine the legality of the U.S. policies, saying they not only harm China's rights but also undermine the WTO's authority, according to Reuters. China says the U.S. tariffs and the U.S. "decision to subsidize renewable energy firms" has distorted the global market. The Trump administration in January announced it was imposing "Safeguard tariffs" over four years, with a 30 percent tariff in the first year reduced gradually to 15 percent in year four. The action, however, is not expected to have an immediate impact on China's major solar manufacturers, as their exposure to U.S. markets was reduced after earlier trade disputes. One Chinese executive told Reuters that U.S. solar tariffs were a "sideshow" and had little effect on Chinese business.
USDA Purchasing $50 Million of Milk
The Department of Agriculture this week announced it will purchase $50 million worth of fluid milk to distribute to U.S. food banks. USDA said it will authorize the expenditure of $50 million in Section 32 funds to purchase a range of consumer-friendly milk varieties, including whole, 2 percent, 1 percent and skim. The agency will purchase the milk from approved vendors, and distribute the product, an estimated 12-15 million gallons, depending on the prices agreed to by USDA and its suppliers, to food assistance organizations such as Feeding America. The action, which is similar to product purchases as part of aid packages to farmers, is not part of the trade aid package announced by USDA last month. USDA has yet to release any details about that effort, but the $12 billion budget for that assistance, coming from Section 5 of USDA's spending authority, is distinct from the Section 32 funds being used for this new milk purchase program. The National Milk Producers Federation applauded the announcement, noting that milk is in high demand at food banks.
FDA Extends FSMA Compliance
The Food and Drug Administration announced this week it would extend its deadlines and inspection timeframes for when certain-sized facilities should come into compliance with some Food Safety Modernization Act. The move, applauded by the American Feed Industry Association, gives the FDA more time to release the final FSMA guidance documents and train its inspectors. AFIA says the deadline extensions give the regulated animal food industry "greater opportunity to perform the necessary retrofits to animal food safety plans and processes to ensure full compliance with federal regulations." Small-sized animal food facilities, firms with less than 500 employees will need to come into compliance with the hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls regulations by September 17, with the FDA delaying inspections until the fall of 2019. Initially, inspections were set to begin in January 2019. The FDA intends to delay compliance for very small businesses, those with sales totaling less than $2.5 million, from the requirements applicable to qualified facilities until the fall of 2020.
Farm Bureau Ag Innovation Challenge Offers $145K in Startup Funds
The American Farm Bureau Federation, in partnership with Farm Credit, this week opened online applications for its 2019 Farm Bureau Ag Innovation Challenge. Entrepreneurs will compete for $145,000 in startup funds. The competition provides an opportunity for individuals to showcase ideas and business innovations in agriculture. This is the fifth year of the Challenge, which is the first national business competition focused exclusively on rural entrepreneurs launching food and agriculture businesses. AFBF President Zippy Duvall says startup funds provided through the Challenge will help entrepreneurs working in food and agriculture take their businesses to the next level. Ten semifinalist teams will be announced on November. 9 and awarded $10,000. The final four teams, selected from the ten semifinalist teams, will be announced in December and will receive an additional $5,000 and have all expenses paid to compete in a live pitch competition at AFBF's 100th Annual Convention in New Orleans in January 2019. Entrepreneurs must be Farm Bureau members to compete. Learn more at https://www.fb.org/events/afbf-annual-convention/events-experiences/ag-i….
2018 America's Pig Farmer of the Year Finalists Announced

NCGA: Answer Upcoming NASS Surveys
The confidential crop survey from the National Agricultural Statistics Service will be arriving in the mailboxes of Southern farmers soon, and it is very important that recipients take the time to complete it, according to the National Corn Growers Association. NCGA says the number of farmers completing the confidential NASS crop survey has been declining in recent years, impacting farmers. Results of the confidential NASS crop survey play a key role in determining the implementation of farm payments and programs, including the Agriculture Risk Coverage Program, Price Loss Coverage Program and even farm appraisals. If NASS does not receive an adequate number of farmer-completed surveys from a certain county, it must use other less reliable sources of data to calculate actual production in that county NCGA says the downward trend in farmer-completed surveys has led to the inability of NASS to publish reliable data in numerous counties across the country. If this continues, NASS may not be able to publish this data for many counties at all.

NFL 2008-09 Week 2
With a wild opening last week..from Brady out for season to SD, and Indy both starts 0-1...The whole AFC completely up for grab...let's see what's up this week...
Here are the matchups and my picks (in BOLD)...
Cincinnati vs Tennessee
Cinci definitely cannot afford to start 0-2 here...but look like they will with a horrific effort last week that will continues into this game...The Bengals can be run on...and Titans is running the ball very well...especially with Collins as QB to spread the field...sorry Kurt but I like the Titans...good D and strong running game = W...
Green Bay vs Detroit
I think the Packers will be up big and early and control the game with their running game...I like the Packs...
Washington vs New Orleans
Even without Colston...I still like the Saints...Washington looked horrible against the Giants both on O and D...I just can't pick them...
Kansas City vs Oakland
Two terrible teams...anyone actually going to watch this game?...Chiefs as home...
Carolina vs Chicago
Look like Bears' D is back...I'm taking the Bears...
New York (NYG) vs St. Louis
NYG winning streak for road games is something impressive but I'm too lazy to look it up...plus the Rams is horrible anyways...so NYG...
Jacksonville vs Buffalo
Personally I thought the Jaqs should be better this season than last...however they were horrible against the Titans...but I still believe and therefore I'm pick the Jaqs this week over the Bills...
Indianapolis vs Minnesota
This could be the AP show...however I don't think the Colts want to start the season 0 - 2...so a must win game for them...yup even this early in the season...so I'm taking Colts...
Seattle vs San Francisco
Ummm Niners...seriously Seattle have too many injuries and I realistically believe the Niners can pull a W here...Give the freaking ball to Frank Gore...please...
Tampa Bay vs Atlanta
Not much interests in this game...Tampa...
Arizona vs Miami
Cards...Ronnie Brown is still not healthy...could still potentially be an upset...
San Diego vs Denver
I'm a Jay Cutler believer...and they are getting B. Marshall back this week...and plus L.T is not 100%...
New York (NYJ) vs New England
I almost feel bad for NE Pats that Brady got hurt...but the keyword is almost...I can't pick the Pats...even though I don't think they are the underdog like the spreads indicate...
Pittsburgh vs Cleveland
Steelers is like 9 games winning streak against the Browns or something right? That's what I read somewhere...Steelers...
Dallas vs Philadelphia
Ok...it've been ages since T.O. played for the Eagles...can we just move on and stop saying this is T.O. versus McNabb game...Anyways this should be shaping up to be a nice MNF game...could and should be a close game with both teams looked impressive last week...I'm going with Dallas here...
Alright I'm done with my shitty predictions and previews...go ahead and criticize and ridicule...
Go Niners!

Holy fuck, what a play
Long pass to Anthony Gonzalez, gets cut off, cuts back, starts getting tackled and on his way down, laterals it to Wayne who then hops over Gonzo and the tackler, breaks a tackle and then gets tackled inside the 1 yard line it appears. Refs ruled a touchdown on the field and just ruled that it was inside the one yard line. Total play is 75 yards.

This is proof for the masses. Stranahan is into BDSM. So, why is he so involved in a rape case? Stranahan's not into getting the truth out, and when he's questioned on his motives, he goes into victim mode.
This is an email on his interest in "Amateur models."
Here are some screen shots on his interests.
After confronted about his interests by a person with the twitter name @catsrimportant he decided to call it art.
So, he's calling it "female art sluts" now.
"Catsrimportant confronted Lee on how he used the term "sluts." Lee Stranahan makes a mental leap from using the term "sluts" to "BDSM". I take this to mean Lee can't distinguish and thinks women are all sluts, regardless of sexual kink. As you can see by his statements above, Lee Stranahan yawns off his past statements as "something I said 12 years ago" and makes no apologies or retractions for the statement."
So, does Steubenville think Lee Stranahan is their white knight of truth? Why would he care about a young 16 year old girl who was raped if he can't distinguish what's porn and what's art?
Update- Thanks to a nice twitter friend here's a link to more of Lee's "art." deviantart.com

Case Study - Interaction
Management Center Innsbruck (MCI)
29.06.2018, Iris Feuchter
The market is booming when it comes to the development of new head-mounted displays. But with many companies developing different hardware and software approaches, the market has also become very fragmented, especially with regards to methods for interacting with virtual content. Manufacturers offer different Bluetooth keyboards, clickers, or controllers which can be linked only with their own proprietary devices or have their own unique gesture-based controls for interaction. These numerous and diverse approaches do not only cause confusion, they also result in substantial inaccuracy.
Holo-Light's experience in recent years—the result of working with major industrial customers—helped it identify the need for a more consistent and accurate way of interacting. Based on this need, it designed a special tracking method grounded in machine learning which can be implemented in input devices.
Together with hardware experts from the Entrepreneurial School® Management Center Innsbruck (MCI), Holo-Light used this tracking technology to develop Holo-Stylus, an input device which can be coupled with any head-mounted display. With the help of a tracking unit which tracks the stylus and can be attached to smart glasses such as Microsoft HoloLens, the system is capable of detecting the movements of the input device down to the millimeter—an unprecedented level of precision in the realm of Augmented and Mixed Reality.
From precise marking, highlighting, and measurement of objects to detailed control of robotic movements through corresponding interfaces, the tracking technology in Holo-Stylus enables the widest existing range of interactions with holograms.

Richard Thomas Scott
Technique : Painting
Synopsis : Born in 1980 in USA, Richard T Scott is working between New York and Paris. Renowned painter of figurative art, he is the most faithful alumnus of Odd Nerdrum, great Norwegian painter. He kept the house of his master during two years in Maison Laffitte (FRANCE). Richard T Scott is also the best friend of Adam Miller. The main goal of the artist is to explore the depth of the human soul.
Le Rêve Américain
When I was a child, I dreamt of America: of revolutionaries and cowboys. I dreamt of brave men conquering the wild frontier, battling their way westward to the ocean, to achieve the natural destiny that God laid before them. As an adolescent I dreamt of the savages and the slaves in the field, cumulus clouds bending over their backs. I dreamt of the war between brothers, and glory of the southern cause. I celebrated abolition and the great march toward freedom, equal rights for blacks, not realizing my hypocrisy. I lived in the world of Leave it to Beaver, the world of Don Draper. I did not know that all my life I dreamt white dreams – the dreams of white men. It was my legacy for the taking, and the wealth of the American dream was for me, but it was not for the blacks, or the indians, it was not the legacy of women. No, it was built upon their backs.
It is only now that I can begin to understand it myself. What profound romanticism in what we aspire to be, and such tragedy in what we are! America is a pantheon of martyrs. It is the illicit seduction, the taboo, the forbidden.
The American Dream is a warm gun.

When Ben Bernanke issued the open ended statement this past week of a third round of Quantitative Easing, in the form of 40 Billion dollars a month of Fed purchases of mortgage backed securities, he essentially tripled down on a bad policy.
Please don't misunderstand me; I favor a stimulus approach. In my mind, it averted the second great depression, and can keep the US economy from imminently slipping back into a recession. But buying mortgage backed securities is essentially code for propping up Wall Street. The basic concept here is that if we make rich people richer, they will invest more in hiring and business creation, and the effects will trickle down to the average consumer.
Whether you believe in trickle down economics or not, my issue with this strategy is that it is every bit as likely that this free money will trickle it's way out of the country in foreign investments or (ahem) offshore accounts. Even if the money stays inside the US, the time that it takes to feel the effects on the economy does not justify the expense.
If we want to dump 40 billion dollars a month into the economy, I can see justification for that. But I think the money is far better spent on helping actual homeowners who are underwater and therefore completely unable to open their wallets and do what Americans do so well – buy things. Better yet, where are the shovel ready projects that were all the rage 3-4 years ago? Where are the boots on the ground projects that put average Americans to work today, tomorrow, and for months to come? That creates an immediate stimulus of buying, which translates into hiring.
Another concern is of course that the timing of this stimulus, coming so close to the election, calls into serious question to role of, and supposed impartiality of, the Federal Reserve. Ostensibly the Fed exists to protect the US currencies viability. I think there are a lot of folks asking whether this is really what they are supposed to be doing, and a lot more asking why now?
My simple suggestion? Fix the roads and the bridges. Train and support our teachers, invest in new schools and better classrooms and equipment. Do that today, and you will have a far more effective, and impartial, stimulus in my opinion.

Refueling practice for Russian fighters and preparing for possible conflicts begin in Moscow
Kabul-Afghanistan (PMG):
Reporter: Lutfullah Nejrabi
The Russian Defense Ministry on Thursday released a video on how to refuel fighter jets and Russian bombers in the sky. Russian officials have said that refueling operations in the sky are part of a Russian military training exercise at night and day. In addition, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that its pilots should have the ability to refuel their air crafts and possible skills for emergency situations.
According to the Russia Defense department, at least 20 Sukhoi-24s, Sukhoi-30s and Sukhoi-34 bombers participated in this training exercise. Meanwhile, it is said that an Illusion 78 airliner has been involved in this exercise as an air tanker which is capable of transporting fuels intended for fighters.

Mark Zuckerberg's Healthcare Long Shot
"Connectivity is a human right." -- Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg knows a thing or two about the Internet. After all, he's piloted Facebook into a social media Goliath that is increasingly used to share one-to-one, one-to-some, and one-to-everyone content.
As a result, Facebook has a billion users, billions and billions of dollars in revenue, and billions of dollars in earnings. But, Facebook has a problem. In order to fuel future growth it needs to tap into the billions of people on the planet who don't currently have Internet access.
So, Zuckerberg is partnering with some of the biggest companies in technology, including Nokia and Qualcomm, on Internet.org, an organization dedicated to overcoming the obstacles that are blocking Internet use in developing nations and that (intriguingly) may revolutionize healthcare along the way.
Why this is a long shot
Zuckerberg will need every ounce of his think-big attitude to overcome the challenges associated with bringing the Internet to developing countries.
That's because people in impoverished nations not only lack access to the Internet, but also to healthcare education and healthcare providers.
To put Zuckerberg's challenge in better perspective, consider that in sub-Saharan Africa, where more than 900 million people live, the average person lives to just 56 years of age, well below the average European, who typically makes it to 80.
That means that people living in these regions are far more focused on basic survival than they are on accessing social media.
Innovating solutions
Internet.org has its hands full. Many countries don't have the infrastructure necessary to support Internet access and in those countries that do have the nuts and bolts necessary, the cost of accessing the Internet is a big barrier.
So, Internet.org launched an app in July that attempts to skirt those challenges.
Since the app is designed for mobile devices, it leverages the fact that 85% of the world's population lives in areas with cellular coverage. And since the app provides access to a suite of eight Internet sites for free, it overcomes worries that Internet access would be too pricey for people in these regions.
Healthcare game-changer?
In order to make Internet.org's app highly relevant in developing markets it includes access to two important health education services -- Facts for Life and the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action, or MAMA. Those sites provide health care information on immunization, HIV, and childbirth. Education on those subjects could prove life-changing in these markets given that globally there are 9 million preventable childhood deaths every year.
Zuckerberg, whose wife Priscilla Chan is a pediatrician, believes that access to this health care information could have a big impact in countries like Zambia, which is the first to gain access to the Internet.org app.
At the Mobile World Congress 2014 in February, Zuckerberg outlined the mission of Internet.org, in part, by saying, "If you increase the number of people in emerging markets that have access to the Internet... you could decrease the childhood mortality rate by 7%."
Zuckerberg's optimism may be justified. According to MAMA's research in Bangladesh, 69% of survey respondents that use MAMA reported attending at least four antenatal care visits during their pregnancy, versus 32% nationally, and 65% of respondents reported attending a postnatal care visit, versus 27% nationally. Such an improvement could be game-changing in countries like Zambia, which has the 21st worst maternal mortality rate and the 17th worst infant mortality rate in the world.
An even longer long shot?
Using Internet.org's app to deliver valuable healthcare education is a great first step because it encourages people to seek out medical care. But that knowledge only goes so far when doctors are scarce.
So while Internet.org is a great starting point in boosting healthcare utilization in rural and impoverished markets, significantly more will still need to be done to improve healthcare access.
Zuckerberg thinks he may have an answer to that problem, too. In March, Zuckerberg acquired virtual reality gaming company Oculus VR in a deal that cost Facebook $2 billion.
Zuckerberg thinks that Oculus' virtual devices could someday become the next big computing platform, displacing mobile. If he's right, then virtual devices could eventually be used by patients in developing nations to "visit" doctors located anywhere on the planet.
Planning ahead
Internet.org and Oculus VR may have the potential to change millions of lives, but they could also be brilliant long-term investments in Facebook's future. Zuckerberg's intent is to break down barriers to free-flowing communication; but in the process Internet.org may also end up saving lives and helping people in developing markets live longer. If so, Zuckerberg may discover that the next billion Facebook users end up coming from some of the planet's least likely places.
Mark Zuckerberg probably wishes he'd come up with this one idea
The best investors consistently reap gigantic profits by recognizing true potential earlier, and more accurately, than anyone else. Let me cut right to the chase. There's a product in development that could revolutionize not just how we treat a common chronic illness, but potentially the entire health industry. Analysts are already licking their chops at the sales potential.

Amazing work, better than the dumb edits of the special edition.
Very interesting documentary about R2D2. Learned a lot from it. Worth a watch.
This is awesome, a real Star Wars parody from 1978 that I had never heard about!
2017 graduating classes of the DAVE School made a fake trailer of "The Star Wars" using art by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie.
If you don't know why this is cool, then you are no Star Wars fan.
These look awesome, but they are out of their minds with the price.
Disney tried to hide the Millennium Falcon with shipping containers — but it's on Google Maps - My San Antonio
I would have promoted the guy!
If you're looking for gift ideas for my birthday...
Star Wars: Jedi Challenges pits you against Kylo Ren with an augmented reality lightsaber - The Verge
Star Wars toys nowadays are mind blowing.
Trailer please!?
"The Last Jedi"
I like it. 11 months to go.
This seems pretty violent for Chewbacca. Good idea leaving it out.
I bet there will be more in the Blu-ray.
Cheesy video... but those speeder bikes!
It's amazing what fans do. And to think that LucasFilm could just do it themselves and sell it for lots of cash.

I love crowdsourcing. Anyway, I'm playing with my budget spreadsheet* on Google Spreadsheet. I want to be able to highlight every second Friday as payday. But the conditional formatting doesn't appear to be set up for that/I don't understand how to do it with the conditional formatting rules available. Who has experience with Google Docs and knows how to do this? My last resort is to manually go through and highlight every second Friday, but please don't make me do that.
*If it exists I feel better about promptly ignoring it

Today is the day that the new 'millennial railcard' goes on sale outside of East Anglia, for people within the 26-30 age bracket. Only 10,000 cards are available, and demand is so high that the website has crashed making it impossible for anyone to get there hands on one. Luckily that's not the only railcard out there.
If you can't get a 26-30 railcard for yourself, or you're too old to qualify, don't worry. There are a number of national railcards that work across the country for specific people, and a number of regional cards that save you money if you live in or travel through the right place. Here's what you need to know.
National Railcards
Two Together: 1/3 off fairs for any two people travelling together, provided you don't get on a train before 9.30 Monday to Friday. It's £30 for the year, and is valid nationwide.
Family and Friends: The one with the most restrictions from the looks of things, but this one is for families and can be registered for up to two adults and three kids. You get 1/3 off rail fair, but only if you have a child over five with you for the whole journey. It's not eligible for use during peak morning times, or journeys that stay within the London/South East region during the week (barring public and bank holidays). Everything else is fair game, though. This is £30 for a year.
Senior: Self explanatory. If you're over £60 you can get 1/3 off train prices at anytime. It's £30 a year, or £70 for three.
Disabled Persons: One for someone with a disability that makes travelling by train difficult, giving them 1/3 of train tickets at any time and any place. You can check your eligibility here, and will need to prove your status as a disabled person during the application process. It's £20 a year, or £54 for three.
HM Armed Forces: Also self explanatory, this one is for members of the armed forces, certain reservists, as well as military spouses, partners, and dependent. They get get 1/3 off rail travel anytime and any place. There is, however, a £12 minimum fair between 4.59am and 9.30am Monday to Friday, September to June.
Regional Railcards
Network: A handy one for the large number of people living in London and the South East, letting you travel anywhere within the region with 1/3 off ticket prices - provided you don't travel at peak times. This is for anyone over the age of 16, and costs £30 a year. A great deal if you ask me, particularly since it stretches as far north as Bedford and Cambridge, as West as Exeter and Worcester, and to both the east and south coasts.
You can see the participating rail companies here.
Cambrian: Offers at least 1/3 off rail fares on individual standard class tickets on most Cambrian lines. The only participating rail company is Arriva Trains Wales. It costs £5 for one year.
Cotswolds: This card gives you 34 per cent off off peak Great Western Railway tickets between Worcester Foregate Street and Oxford. It's £7.50 a year, and can only be bought at the following train stations: Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Evesham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury, and Oxford.
Dales: Good for 1/3 off single and day return tickets when you travel with Northern Rail, valid within this area. It's £10 a year, and children travelling with a card holder pay 81 per cent of the adult's ticket (minimum price £10).
Devon & Cornwall: One for residents of Cornwall and Devon, giving them 1/3 off most train tickets within the two counties. It only applies to Off Peak singles and Day Returns, providing you travel with GWR, Cross Country, and South Western. It's £10 for one year.
Esk Valley: Only available to people with select North Yorkshire and Teeside postcodes, this card gives them 34 per cent off travel between Whitby and Middlesbrough. It's valid on Northern Rail services, and costs £10 a year. Children travelling with a card holder get 81 per cent off the adult fare (minimum price £10).
Thameslink and Great Northern Student 16/18 Connect Card: This one is only for students between the ages of 16 and 18, giving them 34 per cent off tickets within the Thameslink and Great Northern areas. You're only eligible if your school or college is North of Kentish Town, and the discount doesn't extend down to central London.
The card is free, but if you lose it a replacement will cost you £10.
Heart of Wales Line: Available to residents with specific postcodes over the age of 16, this card gives holders 34 per cent off Standard Day Return (SDR), Cheap Day Return (CDR) and Saver Return (SVR) ticket with Arriva Trains Wales - but only between Swansea/Llanelli and Shrewsbury (via Llandrindod Wells).
It's £5 for the year, and children accompanying card holders play a flat fare of £2.
Highland Railcard: This one offers 50 per cent off local ScotRail train journeys in the Scottish Highlands, but only on certain routes and only if you live in specific postcode areas (details available here). Children pay a flat fare of £2 when accompanying a card holder.
Pembrokeshire: 34 per cent off trains within Pembrokeshire and extending down to Swansea (via Carmarthen), provided you have an eligible postcode. It's valid on Arriva Trains Wales and GWR tickets, and costs £5 for the year.
Valley Lines Senior Card: Available to people aged over 60, giving them 50 per cent off standard class day returns on the Valley Lines, provided they arrive in Cardiff after 9.29 am. The participating rail company is Arriva Trains Wales, and it costs £5 for the year.
One More Thing
Have you of the Gold Railcard? It's a perk reserved exclusively for season tickets holders in the South East of England, giving them 1/3 off train travel and a bunch of other perks. Normally this would be out of reach of most people, seeing as how season tickets are incredibly expensive. But there are loopholes, and all you need to do is buy a very cheap season ticket to claim your complimentary card.
The shorter and less popular the journey, the cheaper the season ticket will be. You just need to make sure it's within the Gold Card area. For instance, a season ticket between Ryde St John and Ryde Esplanade on the Isle of Wight (a four minute journey, according to Google) costs £176 for the year.
So buy purchasing it, you also get a Gold card that gives you 1/3 off rail travel in the South East (with further reach than the Network railcard), 1/3 off off peak travel on London public transport (including the Tube, DLR, Overground, and so on), 60 per cent off tickets for children between 5 and 15, an additional railcard for just £10, and more. You can read more about those perks here.
It's expensive, sure, but if you travel a lot the savings will quickly stack up.
So there we have it. Regardless of the fact that them pesky millenials what ruin everything are getting extra discounts, it's not impossible for the rest of you to get some money off the train. You just need to match the right criteria, and to be honest a lot of them are pretty broad.

How Can I Find Out What Scholarships My Child Can Get?
Scholarship availability can influence your decision as to where to go to college. Especially if you're qualified and not looking into any loans that you'll have to pay back eventually. Free tuition assistance can really make your decision for you. So what should you know before applying to schools? There are a lot of ways to be able to project what kind of scholarships you're going to get and I'm here to tell you what to use.
The first thing you can do to see your scholarship eligibility is to look on your chosen school's website to see what scholarships they offer and what GPA and SAT scores are needed to be able to qualify. Usually schools have very specific details on their sites that will pretty much tell you before it's official what kind of scholarships you'll be able to get. They won't have any information on loans simply because that's the field of the federal government with the FAFSA and based on need.
Another thing to know is that just because a school has a bigger sticker price doesn't mean it will actually cost more. Most out of state public schools will only give very small awards in terms of scholarships simply because they really don't have that much money to offer their own state's students, much less another's. Big private schools, especially those with large endowments, will have much bigger financial rewards to give their students which could potentially make those schools cheaper.
The College Board offers a financial planning and scholarship search on their website. This is just another reason this is the prime website to look over when applying to college. You can search for scholarships based on certain criteria including location and academic scores. You will be certain to find ones you never even thought of.
There is also the matter of local scholarships that you can apply to as the national ones are usually listed on College Board. They usually won't be that much in terms of money but can easily help offset the cost of books and living expenses in college.
There really are a lot of tools at your disposal when it comes to college and scholarships. There are a lot of them being offered around out there that you probably didn't even know about so it's your job by using this guide and searching to get out there and find them! you may be surprised as to what you'll find!

Tag: tastebuds
Weedz-It by Plant-Faced Edibles
- Brand: Weedz-it by Plant-Faced Edibles
- Strength: 200 mg THC per bag, roughly 14 mg THC per cracker
- Consumed: 2 crackers, roughly 28 mg THC
- Taste: The crackers are slightly grainy in texture, but are very delicious. They have a weed taste but it isn't overpowering.
- Packaging: Weedz-it's come packaged in a compostable resealable bag that is labeled with ingredients.
- Overall: We love that the creator takes the time to poke a hole in each cracker to give it that authentic cheez-it feel. These crackers are vegan, GMO free, organic, AND gluten free which makes them a healthy alternative to most edibles available. We consumed 2 crackers which is roughly 28 mg THC and we felt a very relaxing and enjoyable high. These are potent at 14 mg THC a cracker. New users should start with just one cracker and wait 1-2 hours before consuming more. Experienced users will enjoy half to a full bag. It's great to see companies going the extra mile to bring patients the healthy alternatives they deserve!
Passion Fruit Sweet Tea by Oracle Infusions
- Brand: Oracle Infusions Passion Fruit Sweet Tea
- Strength: 150 mg THC
- Consumed: 3 tablespoons/ roughly 30 mg THC
- Taste: This passion fruit sweet tea is THE BEST TASTING CANNABIS DRINK we've ever had! This tea is sweet, refreshingly light, and has absolutely ZERO cannabis taste.
- Packaging: Oracle Infusions put a lot of thought into making sure their delicious product was packaged in an equally as amazing bottle. Instead of using clear plastic bottles like most cannabis drink companies use, Oracle Infusions went with a dark glass bottle. When clear plastic bottles are used, residue sticks to the inside of the bottle and the liquid's exposure to light causes the THC to decrease. By packaging their tea in a dark glass bottle, Oracle is taking an extra step to protect the THC in the tea. If you're in NorCal, this bottle even comes child-proof!
- Overall: You read it here first: Oracle Infusions is going to be the most talked about edible company in 2017. They are the future of edibles. Oracle Infusions uses culinary gastronomy to avoid oil seperation within the drink. Mind blown. We love the flavors and the sweetness of this passion fruit tea. If you don't like sugar in your tea, this drink might be too sweet for you. To guarantee the THC potency, every single batch of product is tested by TWO different labs! Each bottle is 150 mg THC and is definitely true to strength. We only needed 3 tablespoons to feel medicated. Warning for new edible users: this product tastes so good that it's hard to consume a small amount! Like the bottle says, if you don't know your dose, start with 10 mg THC which is roughly 1 tablespoon. Wait up to 2 hours before consuming more. We know it tastes so good that you'll want to drink the whole thing, but it's important to remember: you can always consume more but you can't consume less! Experienced users will enjoy half to a full bottle depending on tolerance. We are amazed by this tea which makes this drink an absolute MUST TRY!
Cannabis Mints by Breez
- Brand: Cannabis Mints by Breez
- Strength: 250 mg THC per container/ 5 mg THC per mint
- Consumed: 2 mints/ roughly 10 mg thc
- Taste: Minty freshness with a cannabis twist! These mints have a slight cannabis taste and are extremely enjoyable.
- Packaging: These mints come packaged in a small tin.
- Overall: We love these mints! We were surprised at how good they actually taste. Each mint is only 5 mg THC which is great for new users, who will enjoy 1-2 mints. Since our tolerance has recently lowered, we started with 1 mint to see how it felt. 1 mint was a very mellow high, so we consumed another one and then felt the type of medicated we were going for. By allowing the mint to dissolve under the tongue, you will experience the medicine quicker, as the product is going straight into your blood stream. We love how the high from these mints doesn't hit you suddenly, instead it felt like we slowly and comfortably rolled into the high. For those with a higher tolerance, these mints may be too weak for you. We love the easy to carry tin case, but we dislike the way the mints look. Each mint is pressed with a cannabis leaf which, in our opinion, makes them look like ecstasy pills. We understand the company's desire to make it known that the mint has cannabis in it, but we think that part of the product has room for improvement. Overall, these mints are great for those on the go looking for a mellow high!
Cinnamon Bears by EdiPure
- Brand: Cinnamon Bears by EdiPure
- Strength: 250mg THC per bag / 10 mg THC per piece
- Consumed: 3 pieces/ 30 mg THC
- Taste: These cinnamon bears taste exactly like your typical cinnamon candies. There is a slight cannabis taste but it is hardly noticeable.
- Packaging: This candy comes packaged in a resealable bag with nutritional information on the label.
- Overall: The taste of these bears make them very easy to consume. At only 10 mg THC per piece, these edibles are great for beginners. New users should start with one cinnamon bear and wait 1-2 hours before consuming more. Experienced users will enjoy a handful, depending on tolerance. Remember to keep edibles stored safely away from children.
