Nice nose of lemon/lime and baked apple. Very crisp palate with citrus and tropical fruit notes, and a hint of cinnamon. Lengthy, tart finish. Good acidity and balance, and a great wine for a warm spring/summer day.

Made with 40% Ugni Blanc, 20% Gros Manseng, 20% Colombard, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Red grapefruit, citrus fruits and an intriguing herbal note make for an ideal flavor combination. The wine sees no malolactic fermentation, which helps guard its acidity and make it especially refreshing.

White Tharîdah of al-Rashid from the 9-10th c. Islamic collection of Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq: Food Challenge Twelve: A&S50 Challenge
Crockpot Creamy Chicken Hotdish*
Redaction by Sayyeda al-Kaslaania
Original translation by Charles Perry
*In Minnesota, a one-pot meal cooked in a casserole or crockpot is called "hotdish." Others might call this dish "creamy chicken casserole."
The impetus for this redaction was to have a hot meal for lunch at an indoor site where meals were not being offered, and we would not have access to the kitchen.
I have made a few choices that are not readily spelled out in the original recipe. First, I have chosen boneless, skinless meat. Our modern palate does not like to pick bones or gristle out of stew. The second is to brown the meat. In the thirteenth century cookbook by al-Baghdadi, cooks are reminded that meat should always be fried in oil before boiling (as translated in Medieval Arab Cookery). Third is the addition of rice. In his article "The Pleasures of Consumption," H.D. Miller points out that frequently in al-Baghdadi rice is added "carelessly" to dishes that contain meat and vegetables. He considers rice common in the Medieval Islamic diet, but does not find evidence for it being served as a dish on its own. The addition of rice makes this a better one-pot meal, and rice is also a common ingredient in hotdish.
Many Middle Eastern recipes of this period include eggs cooked on top of a dish, almost as "lid" or crust. This recipe is interesting in that is says add eggs "and mix with wine vinegar". With that in mind, as well as the fact that crockpots only cook with bottom heat, I chose to stir in the eggs, as done in egg-drop soup, rather than allowing them to set up on top.
I chose ingredients that I had in the house for my first attempt. In the future I would try this recipe with sheep's milk instead of cow's milk (knowing that wool production was second to flax production in the Middle East, I expect sheep milk more readily available). I also used medium grain white rice. During this period, rice was "typically husked white rice (aruzz abyad maqshur)," according to Mark Nesbitt, et. al. in "History of Rice in Western and Central Asia" (Opens a .pdf.) Finally, I used turnips at the root vegetable. The two groceries I stopped at only had orange carrots and I thought color would be more important with the "white tharîdah".
Crockpot cooking is different than stewpot cooking, and there are tomes of knowledge published on the topic. Of course, being a good Minnesotan Protestant, I had learned many of the tricks at my mother's knee. First, the meat was added without the skin or extra fat. The spices are reserved for the last hour of cooking, along with the milk. The rice is cooked before adding to the dish, and it's also added in the last hour. Finally, every time you take the lid off of a crockpot to stir you need to add 20 minutes of cooking time. Knowing how helpful people are at activities where a good smelling pot is left alone, I decided to cook the meat through before adding to the crockpot.
Original recipe, translated to English:
Take a chicken and joint it, or meat of a kid or lamb, and clean it and throw it in a pot, and throw on it soaked chickpeas, clean oil, galingale, cinnamon sticks, and a little salt. And when it boils, skim it. Take fresh milk and strain it over the pot and throw in onion slices and boiled carrots. And when it boils well, take peeled almonds and pound them fine. Break over them five eggs and mix with wine vinegar. Then throw in the pot and add coriander, a little pepper and a bit of cumin and arrange it and leave on the fire, and serve, God willing.
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
Sesame oil, pale and untoasted
2 cups chicken broth
2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 onion, sliced
1 lb white or yellow carrots, peeled and sliced into coins (or other root vegetable)
Extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoon powdered galangal
1 stick Ceylon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Scant ¼ cup white wine vinegar
½ c almond butter
1 c whole milk
2 c cooked rice
5 eggs
Ground white pepper
Toss the onions and carrots in olive oil, and roast them on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes. Cube chicken breast and cook it in sesame oil. Put all of this in a crock pot with two cans of chickpeas (rinsed and drained), and two cups of chicken broth. Cook on high for three hours.
In a small bowl mix almond butter, vinegar, and ground spices. Add milk to this mixture, ¼ c at a time, mixing well with each addition. Add the almond mixture, rice, and cinnamon stick to the crockpot and stir. Scramble the eggs and add to the crockpot while stirring (much like egg-drop soup). Cook an additional 30-60 minutes. Garnish the pot with sprigs of cilantro, pepper and a ring of sprinkled cumin before serving. Fills a 5 quart crock pot.

Medical cannabis (also referred to as medical marijuana) refers to the use of Cannabis (marijuana), including constituents of cannabis, THC and other cannabinoids, as a physician-recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy. Cannabis has a long history of medicinal use, with evidence dating back to 2,000 B.C.E.[1]
Although the extent of the medicinal value of cannabis has been disputed, it does have several well-documented beneficial effects.[2][3][4][5] Among these are: the amelioration of nausea and vomiting, stimulation of hunger in chemotherapy and AIDS patients, lowered intraocular eye pressure (shown to be effective for treating glaucoma), as well as general analgesic effects (pain reliever). Less confirmed individual studies also have been conducted indicating cannabis is beneficial in a variety of conditions including Multiple sclerosis and depression.
Synthetic cannabinoids are also available as prescription drugs in many countries. Examples include Marinol, available in Germany and the United States, and Cesamet, available in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and also in the United States.
There are several methods for administration of dosage, including vaporizing or smoking dried buds, drinking or eating extracts, and taking capsules.[6][7] The comparable efficacy of these methods was the subject of an investigative study [5] conducted by the National Institutes of Health.
While cannabis for recreational use is illegal in most parts of the world, its use as a medicine is legal in a number of territories worldwide, including Canada, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Israel, Italy, Finland, and Portugal. In the United States, federal law outlaws all cannabis use, while permission for medical cannabis varies among states. Distribution is usually done within a framework defined by local laws. Medical cannabis remains a controversial issue worldwide.
In a 2002 review of medical literature, medical cannabis was shown to have established effects in the treatment of nausea, vomiting, premenstrual syndrome, unintentional weight loss, and lack of appetite. Other "relatively well-confirmed" effects were in the treatment of "spasticity, painful conditions, especially neurogenic pain, movement disorders, asthma, [and] glaucoma".[8]
Preliminary findings indicate that cannabis-based drugs could prove useful in treating inflammatory bowel disease (consisting of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis),[9] migraines, fibromyalgia, and related conditions.[10]
Medical cannabis has also been found to relieve certain symptoms of multiple sclerosis[11] and spinal cord injuries[12][13][14] by exhibiting antispasmodic and muscle-relaxant properties as well as stimulating appetite. Clinical trials provide evidence that THC reduces motor and vocal tics of Tourette syndrome and related behavioral problems such as obsessive–compulsive disorders.[15][16]
Other studies have shown cannabis or cannabinoids may be useful in treating alcohol abuse,[17] attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or AD/HD)[18][19] amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,[20][21][22] collagen-induced arthritis,[23] rheumatoid arthritis,[24] asthma,[25] atherosclerosis,[26] autism,[27][28] bipolar disorder,[29][30] childhood mental disorders,[31] colorectal cancer,[32] depression,[33][34][35][36] diabetic retinopathy,[37][38] dystonia,[39][40] epilepsy,[41][42] digestive diseases,[43][44] gliomas,[45][46] hepatitis C,[47][48] Huntington's disease,[49] hypertension,[50][51] urinary incontinence,[52] leukemia,[53] skin tumors,[54] morning sickness,[55][56] methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),[57][58] Parkinson's disease,[59] pruritus,[60][61] posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),[62][63][64] sickle-cell disease,[65],sleep apnea,[66]tourette syndrome,[67][68] and anorexia nervosa.[69]
Research done by the Scripps Research Institute in California shows that the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, prevents the formation of deposits in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease. THC was found to prevent an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase from accelerating the formation of "Alzheimer plaques" in the brain more effectively than commercially marketed drugs. THC is also more effective at blocking clumps of protein that can inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimer's patients, as reported in Molecular Pharmaceutics.[70]
THC has been found to reduce tumor growth in common lung cancer by 50 percent and to significantly reduce the ability of the cancer to spread, say researchers at Harvard University, who tested the chemical in both lab and mouse studies. The researchers suggest that THC might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.[71]
In 2006, Donald Tashkin, of the University of California in Los Angeles, presented the results of his study, Marijuana Use and Lung Cancer: Results of a Case-Control Study. Tashkin found that smoking marijuana does not appear to increase the risk of lung cancer or head-and-neck malignancies, even among heavy users. The more tobacco a person smoked, the greater their risk of developing lung cancer and other cancers of the head and neck. But people who smoked more marijuana were not at increased risk compared with people who smoked less and people who didn't smoke at all.[72] Marijuana use was associated with cancer risk ratios below 1.0, indicating that a history of marijuana smoking had no effect on the risk for respiratory cancers. In contrast, tobacco smoking had a 21-fold risk for cancer. Tashkin concluded, "It's possible that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana smoke may encourage apoptosis, or programmed cell death, causing cells to die off before they have a chance to undergo malignant transformation".[73][74]
Wan Tan presented a study at the American Thoracic Society 2007 International Conference showing that smoking marijuana and tobacco together more than tripled the risk of developing Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over just smoking tobacco alone.[75]
Similar findings were released in April 2009 by the Vancouver Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease Research Group. The study presents that smoking both tobacco and marijuana synergistically increased the risk of respiratory symptoms and COPD. Smoking only marijuana, however, was not associated with an increased risk of respiratory symptoms of COPD.[76][77] In a related commentary, Tashkin writes, "…we can be close to concluding that marijuana smoking by itself does not lead to COPD".[78]
According to a 2007 study at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, cannabidiol (CBD) may stop breast cancer from spreading throughout the body.[79] These researchers believe their discovery may provide a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy while achieving the same results minus the painful and unpleasant side effects. The research team says that CBD works by blocking the activity of a gene called Id-1, which is believed to be responsible for a process called metastasis, which is the aggressive spread of cancer cells away from the original tumor site.[79]
Investigators at Columbia University published clinical trial data in 2007 showing that HIV/AIDS patients who inhaled cannabis four times daily experienced substantial increases in food intake with little evidence of discomfort and no impairment of cognitive performance. They concluded that smoked marijuana has a clear medical benefit in HIV-positive patients.[80][81] In another study in 2008, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine found that marijuana significantly reduces HIV-related neuropathic pain when added to a patient's already-prescribed pain management regimen and may be an "effective option for pain relief" in those whose pain is not controlled with current medications. Mood disturbance, physical disability, and quality of life all improved significantly during study treatment.[82] Despite management with opioids and other pain modifying therapies, neuropathic pain continues to reduce the quality of life and daily functioning in HIV-infected individuals. Cannabinoid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems have been shown to modulate pain perception. No serious adverse effects were reported, according to the study published by the American Academy of Neurology.[83]
A study by Complutense University of Madrid found the chemicals in marijuana promotes the death of brain cancer cells by essentially helping them feed upon themselves in a process called autophagy. The research team discovered that cannabinoids such as THC had anticancer effects in mice with human brain cancer cells and in people with brain tumors. When mice with the human brain cancer cells received the THC, the tumor shrank. Using electron microscopes to analyze brain tissue taken both before and after a 26- to 30-day THC treatment regimen, the researchers found that THC eliminated cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact.[84] The patients did not have any toxic effects from the treatment; previous studies of THC for the treatment of cancer have also found the therapy to be well tolerated. However, the mechanisms which promote THC's tumor cell–killing action are unknown.[84]
Injections of THC eliminate dependence on opiates in stressed rats, according to a research team at the Laboratory for Physiopathology of Diseases of the Central Nervous System (France) in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.[85] Deprived of their mothers at birth, rats become hypersensitive to the rewarding effect of morphine and heroin (substances belonging to the opiate family), and rapidly become dependent. When these rats were administered THC, they no longer developed typical morphine-dependent behavior. In the striatum, a region of the brain involved in drug dependence, the production of endogenous enkephalins was restored under THC, whereas it diminished in rats stressed from birth which had not received THC. Researchers believe the findings could lead to therapeutic alternatives to existing substitution treatments.[85]
In humans, drug treatment subjects who use cannabis intermittently are found to be more likely to adhere to treatment for opioid dependence.[86] Historically, similar findings were reported by Clendinning, who in 1843 utilized cannabis substitution for the treatment of alcoholism and opium addiction[87] and Birch, in 1889, who reported success in treating opiate and chloral addiction with cannabis.[88]
A review of six randomized controlled trials of a combination of THC and CBD extracts for MS related spasticity noted a "trend of reduced spasticity in treated patients", however, quantitative analysis was not prudent. The authors postulate that "cannabinoids may provide neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory benefits in MS."[89]
Cannabis contains over 300 compounds. 60 of these are cannabinoids, which are the basis for medical and scientific use of cannabis. This presents the research problem of isolating the effect of specific compounds and taking account of the interaction of these compounds.[21] Cannabinoids can serve as appetite stimulants, antiemetics, antispasmodics, and have some analgesic effects.[15] Three important cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant are cannabidiol, β-caryophyllene, and Cannabigerol.
Cannabidiol (CBD), is a major constituent of medical cannabis. CBD represents up to 40% of extracts of the medical cannabis plant.[90] Cannabidiol relieves convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, nausea, and inhibits cancer cell growth.[91] Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia.[92] Because cannabidiol relieves the aforementioned symptoms, cannabis strains with a high amount of CBD would be ideal for people with multiple sclerosis, frequent anxiety attacks and Tourette syndrome.[93][94][95]
Part of the mechanism by which medical cannabis has been shown to reduce tissue inflammation is via the compound β-caryophyllene.[96] A cannabinoid receptor called CB2 plays a vital part in reducing inflammation in humans and other animals.[96] β-Caryophyllene has been shown to be a selective activator of the CB2 receptor.[96] β-Caryophyllene is especially concentrated in cannabis essential oil, which contains about 12–35% β-caryophyllene.[96]
Like cannabidiol, cannabigerol is not psychoactive but has been shown to lower blood pressure in rates greater than cannabinol.[97]
In the USA, the FDA has approved two cannabinoids for use as medical therapies: dronabinol (Marinol) and nabilone. These medicines are taken orally.
These medications are usually used when first line treatments for nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy fail to work. In extremely high doses and in rare cases "psychotomimetic" side effects are possible. The other commonly-used antiemetic drugs are not associated with these side effects.
The prescription drug Sativex, an extract of cannabis administered as a sublingual spray, has been approved in Canada for the adjunctive treatment (use along side other medicines) of both multiple sclerosis[98] and cancer related pain.[99] This medication may be legally imported into the United Kingdom and Spain on prescription.[100] William Notcutt is one of the chief researchers that has developed Sativex, and he has been working with GW and founder Geoffrey Guy since the company's inception in 1998. Notcutt states that the use of MS as the disease to study "had everything to do with politics."[101]

One of the major criticisms of cannabis as medicine is opposition to smoking as a method of consumption.[citation needed]
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an advisory against smoked medical marijuana stating that, "marijuana has a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Furthermore, there is currently sound evidence that smoked marijuana is harmful."[106]
The Institute of Medicine, run by the United States National Academy of Sciences, conducted a comprehensive study in 1999 to assess the potential health benefits of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids. The study concluded that smoking cannabis is not recommended for the treatment of any disease condition, but did conclude that nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety can all be mitigated by marijuana. While the study expressed reservations about smoked marijuana due to the health risks associated with smoking, the study team concluded that until another mode of ingestion was perfected that could provide the same relief as smoked marijuana, there was no alternative. However, modern vaporizers and the ingestion of cannabis in a decarboxylated state have laid most of these concerns to rest. In addition, the study pointed out the inherent difficulty in marketing a non-patentable herb. Pharmaceutical companies will not substantially profit unless there is a patent. For those reasons, the Institute of Medicine concluded that there is little future in smoked cannabis as a medically approved medication. The report also concluded for certain patients, such as the terminally ill or those with debilitating symptoms, the long-term risks are not of great concern.[107][108]
Marinol was less effective than the steroid megestrol in helping cancer patients regain lost appetites.[109] A phase III study found no difference in effects of an oral cannabis extract or THC on appetite and quality of life (QOL) in patients with cancer-related anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) to placebo.[110]
The harm caused by smoking can be minimized or eliminated by the use of a vaporizer[111] or ingesting the drug in an edible form. This risk is also thought to be decreased by processing the cannabis leaves into hemp oil.[112]
Vaporizers are devices that heat the active constituents of cannabis in a partial vacuum and inhaling the vapors. Combustion of plant material is avoided, thus preventing the formation of carcinogens such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons, benzene and carbon monoxide. A pilot study led by Donald Abrams of UC San Francisco showed that vaporizers eliminate the release of irritants and toxic compounds, while delivering equivalent amounts of THC into the bloodstream.[113]
In order to kill microorganisms, especially the molds A. fumigatus, A. flavus and A. niger, Levitz and Diamond suggested baking marijuana at 150 °C (302 °F) for five minutes. They also found that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was not degraded by this process.[114]
A number of medical organizations have endorsed allowing patients access to medical marijuana with their physicians' approval. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Cannabis, called má 麻 or dàmá 大麻 (with "big; great") in Chinese, was used in Taiwan for fiber starting about 10,000 years ago.[120] The botanist Li Hui-Lin wrote that in China, "The use of Cannabis in medicine was probably a very early development. Since ancient men used hemp seed as food, it was quite natural for them to also discover the medicinal properties of the plant."[121] The oldest Chinese pharmacopeia, the (ca. 100 CE) Shennong Bencaojing 神農本草經 ("Shennong's Materia Medica Classic"), describes dama "cannabis".
The flowers when they burst (when the pollen is scattered) are called 麻蕡 [mafen] or 麻勃 [mabo]. The best time for gathering is the 7th day of the 7th month. The seeds are gathered in the 9th month. The seeds which have entered the soil are injurious to man. It grows in [Taishan] (in [Shandong] …). The flowers, the fruit (seed) and the leaves are officinal. The leaves and the fruit are said to be poisonous, but not the flowers and the kernels of the seeds.[122]
Cannabis is one of the 50 "fundamental" herbs in traditional Chinese medicine,[123] and is prescribed to treat diverse indications.
Every part of the hemp plant is used in medicine; the dried flowers (勃), the achenia (蕡), the seeds (麻仁), the oil (麻油), the leaves, the stalk, the root, and the juice. The flowers are recommended in the 120 different forms of (風 feng) disease, in menstrual disorders, and in wounds. The achenia, which are considered to be poisonous, stimulate the nervous system, and if used in excess, will produce hallucinations and staggering gait. They are prescribed in nervous disorders, especially those marked by local anaesthesia. The seeds, by which is meant the white kernels of the achenia, are used for a great variety of affections, and are considered to be tonic, demulcent, alterative, laxative, emmenagogue, diuretic, anthelmintic, and corrective. They are made into a congee by boiling with water, mixed with wine by a particular process, made into pills, and beaten into a paste. A very common mode of exhibition, however, is by simply eating the kernels. It is said that their continued use renders the flesh firm and prevents old age. They are prescribed internally in fluxes, post-partum difficulties, aconite poisoning, vermillion poisoning, constipation, and obstinate vomiting. Externally they are used for eruptions, ulcers, favus, wounds, and falling of the hair. The oil is used for falling hair, sulfur poisoning, and dryness of the throat. The leaves are considered to be poisonous, and the freshly expressed juice is used as an anthelmintic, in scorpion stings, to stop the hair from falling out and to prevent it from turning grey. They are especially thought to have antiperiodic properties. The stalk, or its bark, is considered to be diuretic, and is used with other drugs in gravel. The juice of the root is used for similar purposes, and is also thought to have a beneficial action in retained placenta and post-partum hemorrhage. An infusion of hemp (for the preparation of which no directions are given) is used as a demulcent drink for quenching thirst and relieving fluxes.[124]
In the early 3rd century AD, Hua Tuo was the first person known to use cannabis as an anesthetic. He reduced the plant to powder and mixed it with wine for administration.[125]
The Ebers Papyrus (ca. 1,550 B.C.) from Ancient Egypt describes medical marijuana.[126] Other ancient Egyptian papyri that mention medical marijuana are the Ramesseum III Papyrus (1700 BC), the Berlin Papyrus (1300 BC) and the Chester Beatty Medical Papyrus VI (1300 BC).[127] The ancient Egyptians even used hemp (cannabis) in suppositories for relieving the pain of hemorrhoids.[128] The egyptologist Lise Manniche notes the reference to "plant medical marijuana" in several Egyptian texts, one of which dates back to the eighteenth century B.C.[129]
Surviving texts from ancient India confirm that cannabis' psychoactive properties were recognized, and doctors used it for a variety of illnesses and ailments. These included insomnia, headaches, a whole host of gastrointestinal disorders, and pain: cannabis was frequently used to relieve the pain of childbirth.[130]
The Ancient Greeks used cannabis not only for human medicine, but also in veterinary medicine to dress wounds and sores on their horses.[131]
In humans, dried leaves of cannabis were used to treat nose bleeds, and cannabis seeds were used to expel tapeworms.[131] The most frequently described use of cannabis in humans was to steep green seeds of cannabis in either water or wine, later taking the seeds out and using the warm extract to treat inflammation and pain resulting from obstruction of the ear.[131]
In the 5th century BCE Herodotus, a Greek historian, described how the Scythians of the Middle East used cannabis in steam baths.[131]
In the medieval Islamic world, Arabic physicians made use of the diuretic, antiemetic, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, pain killing and antipyretic properties of Cannabis sativa, and used it extensively as medication from the 8th to 18th centuries.[132]
An Irish physician, William Brooke O'Shaughnessy, is credited with introducing the therapeutic use of cannabis to Western medicine. He was Assistant-Surgeon and Professor of Chemistry at the Medical College of Calcutta, and conducted a cannabis experiment in the 1830s, first testing his preparations on animals, then administering them to patients in order to help treat muscle spasms, stomach cramps or general pain.[133]
Cannabis as a medicine became common throughout much of the Western world by the 19th century. It was used as the primary pain reliever until the invention of aspirin.[1] Modern medical and scientific inquiry began with doctors like O'Shaughnessy and Moreau de Tours, who used it to treat melancholia and migraines, and as a sleeping aid, analgesic and anticonvulsant.
By the time the United States banned cannabis in a federal law, the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, the plant was no longer extremely popular.[134][citation needed] Skepticism about cannabis arose in response to the bill.[citation needed] The situation was exacerbated by the stereotypes promoted by the media, that the drug was used primarily by Mexican and African immigrants.[134]
Later in the century, researchers investigating methods of detecting cannabis intoxication discovered that smoking the drug reduced intraocular pressure.[135] In 1973 physician Tod H. Mikuriya reignited the debate concerning cannabis as medicine when he published "Marijuana Medical Papers". High intraocular pressure causes blindness in glaucoma patients, so he hypothesized that using the drug could prevent blindness in patients. Many Vietnam War veterans also believed that the drug prevented muscle spasms caused by battle-induced spinal injuries.[136] Later medical use focused primarily on its role in preventing the wasting syndromes and chronic loss of appetite associated with chemotherapy and AIDS, along with a variety of rare muscular and skeletal disorders.
Later, in the 1970s, a synthetic version of THC, the primary active ingredient in cannabis, was synthesized to make the drug Marinol. Users reported several problems with Marinol leading many to abandon capsules and resume smoking the plant. Patients complained that the violent nausea associated with chemotherapy made swallowing capsules difficult. The effects of smoked cannabis are felt almost immediately, and it is therefore easily dosed.[137] Marinol, like ingested cannabis is harder to titrate than smoked cannabis.[citation needed] Some studies have indicated that other chemicals in the plant may have a synergistic effect with THC.[138]
In addition, during the 1970s and 1980s, six U.S. states' health departments performed studies on the use of medical cannabis. These are widely considered some of the most useful and pioneering studies on the subject.[citation needed] Voters in eight states showed their support for cannabis prescriptions or recommendations given by physicians between 1996 and 1999, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, going against policies of the federal government.[139]
In May 2001, "The Chronic Cannabis Use in the Compassionate Investigational New Drug Program: An Examination of Benefits and Adverse Effects of Legal Clinical Cannabis" (Russo, Mathre, Byrne et al.) was completed. This three-day examination of major body functions of four of the five living US federal cannabis patients found "mild pulmonary changes" in two patients.[140]
On October 7, 2003 a patent entitled "Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants" (#6,630,507) was awarded to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, based on research done at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). This patent claims that cannabinoids are "useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia."[141]
Cannabis is in Schedule IV of the United Nations´ Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs:[142]
A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.
The convention thus allows countries to outlaw cannabis for all non-research purposes but lets nations choose to allow medical and scientific purposes if they believe total prohibition is not the most appropriate means of protecting health and welfare. The convention requires that states that permit the production or use of medical cannabis must operate a licensing system for all cultivators,manufacturers and distributors and ensure that the total cannabis market of the state shall not exceed that required "for medical and scientific purposes."[142]
In Austria both Δ9-THC and pharmaceutical preparations containing Δ9-THC are listed in annex IV of the Narcotics Decree (Suchtgiftverordnung).[143] Compendial formulations are manufactured upon prescription according to the German Neues Rezeptur-Formularium.[144][145]
On July 9, 2008 the Austrian Parliament approved cannabis cultivation for scientific and medical uses.[146] Cannabis cultivation is controlled by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (Österreichische Agentur für Gesundheit und Ernährungssicherheit, AGES).[147]
In Canada, the regulation on access to marijuana for medical purposes, established by Health Canada in July 2001, defines two categories of patients eligible for access to medical cannabis. Category 1 covers any symptoms treated within the context of providing compassionate end-of-life care or the symptoms associated with medical conditions listed below:
Category 2 is for applicants who have debilitating symptom(s) of medical condition(s), other than those described in Category 1. The application of eligible patients must be supported by a medical practitioner.[148]
The cannabis distributed by Health Canada is provided under the brand CannaMed by the company Prairie Plant Systems Inc. In 2006, 420 kg of CannaMed cannabis was sold, representing an increase of 80% over the previous year.[149] However, patients complain of the single strain selection as well as low potency, providing a pre-ground product put through a wood chipper (which deteriorates rapidly) as well as gamma irradation and foul taste and smell.[150]
It is also legal for patients approved by Health Canada to grow their own cannabis for personal consumption, and it's possible to obtain a production license as a person designated by a patient. Designated producers were permitted to grow a cannabis supply for only a single patient, however. That regulation and related restrictions on supply were found unconstitutional by the Federal Court of Canada in January, 2008. The court found that these regulations did not allow a sufficient legal supply of medical cannabis, and thus forced many patients to purchase their medicine from unauthorized, black market sources. This was the eighth time in the previous ten years that the courts ruled against Health Canada's regulations restricting the supply of the medicine.[151]
In May, 2009, Health Canada revised their earlier regulations to permit licensed, designated producers to grow cannabis for a maximum of two patients. The move was called a "mockery" of the court's intention by lawyer Ron Marzel, who represented plaintiffs in the successful challenge in Federal Court to Health Canada's previously-existing rules. Marzel has announced plans to ask the court to overturn all prohibitions on cannabis use if Health Canada refuses to create regulations that will allow an adequate legal supply for use by medically-authorized patients.[151]
In Germany dronabinol was rescheduled 1994 from annex I to annex II of the Narcotics Law (Betäubungsmittelgesetz) in order to ease research; in 1998 dronabinol was rescheduled from annex II to annex III and since then has been available by prescription,[152] whereas Δ9-THC is still listed in annex I.[153] Manufacturing instructions for dronabinol containing compendial formulations are described in the Neues Rezeptur-Formularium.[145]
In Spain, since the late 1990s and early 2000s, medical cannabis underwent a process of progressive decriminalization and legalisation. The parliament of the region of Catalonia is the first in Spain have voted unanimously in 2001 legalizing medical marijuana, it is quickly followed by parliaments of Aragon and the Balearic Islands.[citation needed] The Spanish Penal Code prohibits the sale of cannabis but it does not prohibit consumption. Until early 2000, the Penal Code did not distinguish between therapeutic use of cannabis and recreational use, however, several court decisions show that this distinction is increasingly taken into account by the judges. From 2006, the sale of seed is legalized,[citation needed], the sale and public consumption remains illegal, and private cultivation and use are permitted.[154][155]
Several studies have been conducted to study the effects of cannabis on patients suffering from diseases like cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, seizures or asthma. This research was conducted by various Spanish agencies at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid headed by Manuel Guzman, the hospital of La Laguna in Tenerife led neurosurgeon Luis González Feria or the University of Barcelona.[citation needed]
Several cannabis consumption clubs and user associations have been established throughout Spain. These clubs, the first of which was created in 1991, are non-profit associations who grow cannabis and sell it at cost to its members. The legal status of these clubs is uncertain: in 1997, four members of the first club, the Barcelona Ramón Santos Association of Cannabis Studies, were sentenced to 4 months in prison and a 3000 euro fine, while at about the same time, the court of Bilboa ruled that another club was not in violation of the law. The Andalusian regional government also commissioned a study by criminal law professors on the "Therapeutic use of cannabis and the creation of establishments of acquisition and consumption. The study concluded that such clubs are legal as long as they distribute only to a restricted list of legal adults, provide only the amount of drugs necessary for immediate consumption, and not earn a profit. The Andalusian government never formally accepted these guidelines and the legal situation of the clubs remains insecure. In 2006 and 2007, members of these clubs were acquitted in trial for possession and sale of cannabis and the police were ordered to return seized crops.[155]
In the United Kingdom, if you are arrested or taken to court for possession of cannabis, you are asked if there are any mitigating factors to explain why it is in your possession. It is unknown whether this is solely a formality, or if an excuse of medical usage has ever been used successfully to reduce the penalty issued. However, in the United Kingdom, possession of small quantities of cannabis does not usually warrant an arrest or court appearance (street cautions or fines are often given out instead). Under UK law, certain cannabinoids are permitted medically[156], but these are strictly controlled with many provisos under the Misuse of drugs act 1971 (in the 1985 amendments). The British Medical Associations official stance is "users of cannabis for medical purposes should be aware of the risks, should enrol for clinical trials, and should talk to their doctors about new alternative treatments; but we do not advise them to stop."[156]
In the United States, it is important to differentiate between medical cannabis at the federal and at the state level. At the federal level, cannabis per se has been made criminal by implementation of the Controlled Substances Act which classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, the strictest classification on par with heroin, LSD and Ecstasy, and the Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution allowed the government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use. The United States Food and Drug Administration states "marijuana has a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision".[106][157]
On the state level, 14 states have legalized medical marijuana: Alaska,[158] California,[159] Colorado,[160] Hawaii,[161] Maine,[162] Michigan,[163] Montana,[164] Nevada,[165], New Jersey,[166] New Mexico,[167] Oregon,[168] Rhode Island,[169] Vermont[170] and Washington;[171] Maryland allows for reduced penalties if cannabis use has a medical basis.[172] California, Colorado, New Mexico, Maine, Rhode Island, and Montana are currently the only states to utilize dispensaries to sell medical cannabis. California's medical marijuana industry took in about $2 billion a year and generated $100 million in state sales taxes during 2008[173] with an estimated 2,100 dispensaries, co-operatives, wellness clinics and taxi delivery services in the sector colloquially known as "cannabusiness".[174] New Jersey has recently passed a bill legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes.
On 19 October 2009 the US Deputy Attorney General issued a US Department of Justice memorandum to "All United States Attorneys" providing clear clarification and guidance to federal prosecutors in US States that have enacted laws authorizing the medical use of marijuana. The document is intended solely as "a guide to the exercise of investigative and prosecutorial discretion and as guidance on resource allocation and federal priorities." The US Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden provided seven criteria, the application of which acts as a guideline to prosecutors and federal agents to ascertain whether a patients use, or their caregivers provision, of medical marijuana "represents part of a recommended treatment regiment consistent with applicable state law", and recommends against prosecuting patients using medical cannabis products according to state laws. Not applying those criteria, the Dep. Attorney General Ogden concludes, would likely be "an inefficient use of limited federal resources". The memorandum does not change any laws. Sale of cannabis remains illegal under federal law unless there is a very rare permission. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's position, that marijuana has no accepted value in the treatment of any disease in the United States, has also remained the same.[175] Nevertheless, the memorandum is seen by some United States commentators to be the first step in which President Obama's Administration may come good on its pre-election promise to address the issue of medical marijuana in federal policymaking.[176]
Despite the Obama administration's vow not to raid and arrest medical marijuana patients and care-givers acting in compliance with state law as per Obama's campaign promise and the Ogden memorandum, DEA agent Jeffrey Sweetin ordered the raid and arrest of Chris Bartkowicz, a Colorado licensed medical marijuana care-giver, on February 12 2010.[177]
The Health and Human Services Division of the federal government holds a patent for medical marijuana. The patent, "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants", issued October 2003[141] reads: "Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia…"[178]

PORTSMOUTH — A local woman indicted in connection with an alleged plot to cover up the death of a University of New Hampshire student has been granted a later curfew.
PORTSMOUTH — A local woman indicted in connection with an alleged plot to cover up the death of a University of New Hampshire student has been granted a later curfew.
Kathryn "Kat" McDonough waived her arraignment this week on felony charges of witness tampering, hindering apprehension or prosecution, and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension or prosecution. The charges are related to the Oct. 9, 2012, death of University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott.
McDonough, 19, was arrested on Christmas Eve on the hindering apprehension charges, which allege she conspired with then-boyfriend Seth Mazzaglia, 30, of Dover, to concoct a false alibi as to their whereabouts on Oct. 9 and their interactions with Marriott that night.
Authorities allege Mazzaglia strangled Marriott to death with a rope before, during, after or while attempting to commit a felonious sexual assault inside his residence at Sawyer Mill Apartments. Mazzaglia and McDonough claim the death was accidental and occurred during a consensual act, a claim Marriott's parents have called "reprehensible" and "salacious."
Since posting her $35,000 cash or surety bail Dec. 30, McDonough has been required to live with her parents in the Elwyn Park neighborhood of Portsmouth. Attorney Ryan Russman said in January she had to abide by a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Attorney Andrew Cotrupi of Hampton is now representing McDonough. He said Wednesday that his client previously had a 10 p.m. curfew, but he successfully argued for an 11 p.m. curfew this week.
"She's a 19-year-old woman who is trying to function until this case is resolved and a 10 o'clock curfew is preventing her from working or living," he said.
Mazzaglia remains in Strafford County Jail, held without bail on murder charges. He was indicted this month on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder, along with one count of conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension or prosecution.
The murder charges are all alternate theories dealing with the same crime and allege varying levels of culpability.
Court documents indicate Mazzaglia is due for a May 2 arraignment and bail hearing.

Today, I begin a series of blogs that will outline the characters of Blue on the Horizon. Those of you who have read this whimsical adventure story will easily recognize them as old freinds. Those of you who are still waiting ... ARE YOU CRAZY! This is an story you'll never forget. I can't tell you how many fans have told me that they have read the story more than once as they try to piece together the clues in preparation of the next book.
You better get started, right now!
You better get started, right now!
Gaven is a young trolless with an undeniable connection to the magic that courses through the ground beneath her feet. She has long kinky hair that she ties into knots that drape off her shoulder. Her tail is stubby and fluffy, not used for much at all. Her skin is drab, and a prominent wart adorns her nose She is quite lovely—by troll standards, but something is not quite right. Through some horrible act of fate, she is disfigured. Stricken with with eyes the color of the midday sky, Gaven becomes an outcast.Gaven is the main character, or protagonist, of Blue on the Horizon. Her life is lonely and difficult. Born at Torv, a poor village of peat miners, Gaven is the daughter of Lalman. Without friends, she finds ways to entertain herself alone in the dangerous marsh, but she can't always avoid trouble. She routinely suffers the taunts of the Torvites who bully and sneer, but smell like fear. Gaven dreams of leaving, living a life alone in the forest, but she refuses leave her father who suffers his own bullies. With nowhere else to go, Gaven spends her time roaming the bogs where she encounters Azool, the blue fairy of Torv.
Uredd has a luxurious tail that he intuitively uses as counterbalance as he moves athletically along the rocky banks of the thundering glacial river. He is a bit portly, but that is an admirable quality in a troll. Uredd was born at Breen, the wealthy village of gemstones. From birth, his mother, Hundstein, decrees him "the one", but she fails to tell him what that means. He is over-confident and that causes him to ignore his studies. He wants only to be a seeker, one who searches for gems. Well, one other thing captures his attention: the promise festival where he hopes to attract the attention of a pretty trolless.Uredd will survive a disaster, but left on his own, he will struggle to survive. Unprepared for life in the wild he quickly gives up, but he will be saved by his open heart.
Stump is an abandoned, infant dragon dying of exposure when Uredd finds him under a thorny bush. He is tiny, covered in silky, black scales with eyes that glint in bright light. At first, he is unable to communicate, but he is able to guide Uredd in subtle ways. When threatened he will transform into a tortoise to hide his true form. Once he takes tortoise form, Stump can easily communicate with Uredd. Dragons and trolls have a delicate treaty in place, and neither species trusts the other. Stump has the odd habit of closing his eyes and swaying. This perturbs Uredd who finds it rude.
Troika is a mysterious character who seems to be watching, but who is he? What does he want? He is terrified and haunted by visions of events still veiled in the mists. Friend or foe—only readers of Blue on Horizon know the truth about Troika.

Fish virus headed our way
Robert J. Galbraith
March 9, 2012
Montreal Gazette
Like something out of science fiction, a deadly, alien fish virus is set to invade Quebec waterways, threatening the province's multi-billion-dollar recreational fishing industry.
The highly contagious and adaptable virus, viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), was first identified in the 1950s in farmed fish in Europe. By 2005, it had found its way into the Great Lakes, most likely from international vessels flushing their ballasts containing the virus into the lakes, say Ontario Natural Resources wildlife officials. Its spread was exacerbated by the transport and release of infected bait fish into uncontaminated waters by sports fishermen.
As it spread, the virus killed tens of thousands of fish. In 2005, 91 tonnes of freshwater drum were killed in Lake Ontario's Bay of Quinte. In 2006, there were die-offs of yellow perch in Lake Erie and muskellunge in the St. Lawrence River. In 2007, large die-offs of bass occurred in the Finger Lakes region of western New York state. There have also been confirmed die-offs of salmon, musky and walleye (doré), as well as numerous minnow species. As the dead fish decompose, the virus is released and continues to spread. MORE >>>

Lobsters from Maine are considered to be the tastiest. However, sales have hit a low because the Canadian lobster industry is taking over and the Maine lobster industry is becoming dependent on them. At the Maine Lobster Festival in Rock-land, the governor of Maine addressed this problem.
"We are going out…[and] searching and looking for companies that are looking at getting into food processing, particularly fish." – Maine Governor, Paul LePage
(Source: goo.gl/yag1FM)
LePage wants to boost the lobster industry of Maine that hit a thirty year low, last year in summer. LePage wants to attract businesses to Maine as a part of a plan to boost the lobster industry. The plan is to promote and market over three years spending about three million US dollars.
"The Canadian industry hurts [the Maine lobster industry] from a pricing standpoint. They have so much more processing power than we do, hence we have so much surplus but not enough outlets to sell or process." – Mark Murrell, founder and owner of GetMaineLobster.com
(Source: goo.gl/yag1FM)
LePage also wants to provide incentives so that lobster processors build a set up and re-locate to Maine. This will automatically boost the lobster industry of Maine. However, funds for the three year plan that the Governor has come up with, will not be available till the coming year. The Maine lobster prices fluctuated a lot this spring from April till June.
"This [spring] was crippling. China came in and bought one million pounds. Overnight, my price per pound literally went up USD 2 (EUR 1.51) a pound and then it was bad for about five weeks." – Mark Murrell, founder and owner of GetMaineLobster.com
(Source: goo.gl/yag1FM)
These stats are indeed a blow to the lobster industry and lobstermen are worried as fishing for them went really bad last summer. However, according to Murrell, places like California and the Midwest have responded positively to the idea of overnight shipment of Maine lobsters that GetMaineLobster.com provides. However, the online lobster business is still in a nascent stage but there are chances of this business to grow immensely.

Lotus Police Car being used by West Midlands Police
A Lotus Sports car was donated to the West Midlands police a few weeks ago now which made it the first serious sports car to be used within the UK Police department. Lotus a company known for its sleek sports cars has previously given the Police other models to try within the force however models such as the Exige was only temporally used by the force.
For people in the UK to see a Lotus police car would certainly be a head turner to say the least however in other European countries they are used regularly such as German police officers have a number of Porsche 911 available and the Italian police force even have a Lamborghini Gallardo at their disposal.
People within the UK have once wondered, doesn't it make sense to have a quicker car to catch criminals however they also have to think about the safety of the drivers. Motorists within the West Midlands area be sure to keep your eyes out for the Lotus, the car is set to patrol the busiest highways within the West Midlands area and will have the full flashing lights and police badges on the car.
The Police hope that this will send a strong message to motorists to stop them from out running Police officers if they are asked to pull over, and also hope that the car will allow them to interact with the public more.

The Guardians (TV, 2010)
This review from SFX 193 prompted a furious response from a reader, who shot me down for backing the then Labour government, and being naive in my views by bashing the '80s brand of monetarist Toryism I vaguely wave a hand here. The letter, which concluded "the review should never have been published" was, I think, never published, but I always wanted a chance to respond.
To my mind I was only drawing parallels between what the story suggested might happen, and what did actually happen 10 years later (there are a few, but not many), a prime part of our job as SF critics when looking at the past's predictive fiction. I admit that my strap line was a cheap, right-on 1980s alternative comedy shot at Maggie, but at no point do I mention anything to do with the Labour party, and I was certainly not supporting Blair et al with my review. I am not a big fan of Thatcher's creed, and like all politicians I think she was alarmingly short termist. But neither was I enamoured of New Labour; their infighting, spin, and monstrous, bloated nanny state all horrified me. None of the parties extant today do it for me, to be honest.
It all just goes to show what people can read into a few sentences!
1971 / 12 / 650 mins / £39.99 / 1 February
Creators: Rex Firkin, Vincent Tilsey
Cast: Gwyneth Powell, Cyril Luckham, David Burke, Derek Smith, Edward Petherbridge, Lynn Farleigh, John Collin
Bet Thatcher wished she had these…
It is the dark future of the 1980s! Democracy is over, the new dictatorship guaranteed by the neo-fascist Guardians of the Realm…
Made in 1971, this ancient London Weekend Television curio (so old, in fact, that LWT had yet to get the 'Television' part of its name) offers a fascinating look back into the mores of yesteryear. The SF element of the show is not strong, rather The Guardians is something of a psychodrama, examining power, relationships and revolutionary tendency. One of the main characters is, indeed, a psychiatrist, manipulating the mysterious 'Quarmby' terrorist campaign for who knows what real ends.
The series is a little prescient, foreseeing the demolishment of the unions and posits a reactionary return to the class system, with cut-glass accented toffs patronising the nation and folks with regional accents trapped at the bottom. Almost what happened, only without Thatcher's creed of diffuse selfishness.
There's little action in the Guardians, in common with much TV of its time, the greater portion of the running time is taken up by multiple scenes featuring dialogue between two characters. Although occasionally repetitive, it is highly effective, and allows such actors as Graham Crowden and Gwyneth Powell (Mrs. McClusky from Grange Hill!) to get their teeth into some serious character work.
The Guardians contains many frankly implausible twists, but they keep you coming back for more. Sometimes 13 hours of old-school near-SF can be terribly tedious. This isn't, and will hold your attention to the end.
On a final note, the quality of the footage is high for such an old show, but amusingly one can hear the transfer team crashing about, typing and chatting in some of the ad breaks.

The prolific Samuel Youd, writing as John Christopher, penned a dystopian novel also named The Guardians in 1970. No relation.

The restaurant is Restaurant Mukmin at sek 19/1B .I have not tried roast duck before, I seldom eat duck so this is a treat. We called the restaurant first . So about 1.00 pm we reached the restaurant. It is in front of the De Palma hotel. We also ordered a vegetable soup, baby kailan with salted fish, fried tauhu and a whole duck. My father was also interested to try, so we packed half of the duck for him. The whole roast duck costs RM 48, half is RM 25 and a quarter is RM 13. I ordered some asam boi drink which is light green in colour, my mother ordered chinese tea. So the roast duck came and we dived in. It was a lot for both of us since my mother eats less. It was tasty however it is an acquired taste and I eat some more at home.
After taking her cocktail ring, we went to HPA office which is near Giant. Sek 13 Shah Alam. It is a large and beautiful shop and office .I bought some skin care , the Awana powder and Minyak pati sepang or Caesalpina oil. One add the Awana powder and the oil and leave for two hours before you sleep and one can have soft beautiful skin. I will try it.

I'm grateful that mum named me "Shady" because it fits. (LOL) Seriously, my real name is Tom and it was a very common name around 1950 when I was born. In fact, every Tom, Dick and Harry was named Tom! Oliver is a great name for your friend's little boy and he's precious!
(Lenore Nevermore Knight has a nice ring to it!)

Oliver and his name are just adorable!!!
Our criteria for naming kids is, if you can yell their entire name out the back door and not cringe, then you go one step further. Does it sound good with the word Doctor in front of it?

Oliver est un très joli prénom... Mon gendre se prénomme Olivier.
Mes 4 enfants, se prénomment Kevin, Yannis-William, Fauve et Daphné.

Début avril prochain doit naître une petite fille chez mon fils Kevin & son amie Julie. Je ne connais pas encore le futur prénom de cette petite fille... Je dois patienter!
Les photos de petit bébé, Oliver sont magnifiques.

Good thing I never had girls because I couldn't think of girl names!! I named my oldest Shane Raymond (Raymond was my dear Dad's name), My youngest is Thomas James (James is Hubby's dear departed Dad's name, Thomas is a family name) And Tom..he is Thomas and has never been Tom! One of Shane's friends just had a baby girl named Harlowe..that is really different.

In Zambia, the Restless Team has recently achieved key milestones in its Shaping Policy and Practice work in both the national Youth and Education sectors. In April 2013, the agency was invited onto the Ministry of Youth & Sports National Technical Committee to help review Zambia's National Youth Policy and Action Plan through nationwide Provincial Youth Consultations. More recently in early July 2013, Restless Development has also been included as a key partner to help the Zambian Ministry of Education implement its forthcoming revised HIV Strategy for 2013-17 (due to be finalised over the next 3 months). This will see the team continue its technical support to the Zambian Education Sector in piloting a new National HIV & Life Skills Monitoring Tool in order to conduct regular monitoring of HIV and AIDS programme activities in schools nationwide.
The agency has also been invited by the Zambian Civil Society Centre to share its policy advocacy work with the NGO Coordinating Council (NGOCC), in order to learn how the agency has successful engaged with national policy and decision makers.

Viacom and CBS shares jumped Wednesday on leadership changes, and some "Fast Money" traders believe the stocks could have more room to climb.
CBS named CEO Leslie Moonves its chairman, replacing the 92-year-old Sumner Redstone. Viacom's board could follow suit and replace Redstone as chairman on Thursday, sources told CNBC.
Viacom and CBS shares rose 10 and 4 percent, respectively, in after-hours trading. Both stocks have lagged peers in the media space like Walt Disney in the last year.
"I think there may be some room for them to close the gap," said trader Tim Seymour.

Cleanup in Progress
Administrative note: I'm doing some slight retooling to create a section for fiction, which will include the Saturday Scenes excerpts as well as a few other things for which I'm not currently seeking markets. So the blog posts for that stuff may get edited, or may even disappear, depending on how I end up deciding to do it.
Thanks for your patience. The whole site is still pretty new, but I'm hoping to get it all settled soon.

I want to share something with you all. I have found what I think is the perfect Christmas ornament on the Internet. (That is, as perfect as can be considering our situation.) It is a sleeping baby wrapped in wings. I just ordered 2 from this website http://www.getfed.com/. I can't post a picture because of copyright issues, but here is the link to the item:
Joseph's Studio Baby's First Christmas Ornament at Getfed Discount Catholic Catalog
I also ordered 2 indoor statues that look very similar to the ornament so I can keep them out all year long. And I ordered 2 outdoor outdoor statues that also depict sleeping babies wrapped in wings. All of the pieces were somewhat affordable and shipping was free!!
I don't really think of my Sophia & Ellie as angels, but I do think of them as two Heavenly beings that are absolutely perfect in every way. Anyway, I just thought I would share because I know some of you have been searching for the perfect ornament to represent your babies and this is as close to it I have found.
Don't forget to visit Jeanette's blog to enter her giveaway and check back here tomorrow to see where to go next. Peace to you my friends!!

If Your Wheel Rims Aren't in Great Shape, Then You Could Use This Information
Brake replacement and oil changes are fairly common tasks that most car owners know to expect, if not how to do so for themselves. Rim refinishing, on the other hand, is a little less common, and few people could tell you exactly what it entails if you stopped them on the street. If you find that you know that rim refinishing, to one extent or another, is required for your vehicle, then it's likely that you'll have a few questions. Hopefully this QandA will clear up any confusion, and help you get whatever work needs to be done on your rims.
How much does rim refinishing cost?
The final cost will depend on whether you are getting rim repair, or rim painting, and what kind of rims are on your car. Higher quality rims (not alloy) will come with a higher price tag. On average, rim r

Dive Site Details
Accessed by
Suitable for
All levels
- Overview
"Muka" means front and "Gereja" means church. Once you arrive at this spot it's obvious why it got such a name. Muka Gereja is a splendid wall dive with very little current and calm water. What can you expect at Muka Gereja? It's a steep wall with lots of caverns and overhanging cliffs. There are huge barrel sponges, some with a diameter of over 1 metre and rich coral growth. One of the best observations was an immense school of striped catfish, so big and so "dense" that most watching divers thought it was a huge Whale! Visibility is good to excellent and, as said earlier, current is most of the time mild. The magnificent views of Manado Tua's 800 meters high volcano gives this site an extra dimension.

A couple had a dramatic escape as their car was destroyed by fire on the M1 near Meadowhall.
The pair, from North Yorkshire, were passing Sheffield on their way to London when the incident happened around 8pm last night.
It happened on Junction 34 by the Meadowhall slip road in the southbound direction.
The couple got out of their Volkswagen Golf car, which was gutted by the fire.
The slip road was closed while a crew from Tankersley fire station spent around 40 minutes at the scene putting out the blaze.
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the couple had said the vehicle had lost power and then the engine caught fire.
He said the pair were taken home by a recovery vehicle.

HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL), one of India's leading global IT services company, acquired a 35,000 square foot data center facility in Parsippany, New Jersey. HCL needed to renovate half of the existing building to provide for collocation space for their turnkey hosting services business, while housing their data center in the other half.
The LEED-CI Silver Certified facility is one of the few LEED Certified data centers in the Country and was designed with mission critical systems conforming to the Uptime Institute's TIER III guidelines and by deploying best-in-class eco-friendly technologies. The 8,000 SF of raised data center floor provides 150 w/SF of critical power distribution.
gkkworks was selected to provide both design and construction services in order to satisfy their schedule constraints and allow for an open book GMP project management. This allowed for competitive bidding and client involvement throughout the process. We established an aggressive project schedule to accomplish project goals, such as migrating the existing data center into the new space.

I'm referring to the Cake Decorating Course by ICCA, Level 2, which was supposed to be using Royal Icing as the main medium. Overall, the course was far too flowery, and on hindsight, a bit pricey, but it was quite fun, though I don't envisage myself plunging into the decorative cake business, especially not the flora and fauna aspect of it.
For our finale, we learnt the art of basket weaving, as can be seen from above. It is a tedious process, and really, quite superflous in my opinion. Then again, I am not into intricate delicate designs, hence my continuous quest for a course that offers 3D semi crude modelling of objects, such as cars, toys, ducks, etc.
Using the flowers that we've made over the duration of the course, we had to assemble of graduation cake, with the basket weave around the sides, and flowers on the cake. Those two birds were literally killed with one stone. The maid had careless tossed the container in which they were roosting upside down, hence smudging the royal icing. I tried to make another pair, and AGAIN, the maids murdered the birds.
Now, this cake was made by my classmate, Paige. I reckon it was by far the most elegant, and her petal work for the roses is quite fine. I've made a loose arrangement with her, to order from her should any of my clients require pretty flower cakes. No way you're get ME doing a cake with basket weaving and flowers, unless I've retired and am swatting flies.
Voila, the aerial view of all the finished cakes.
The next level is fondant, but again, its flowers. Argh!!!! What is the obsession with flowers. I want to make carpenter tools, hammers, chainsaws, electric drills, and army soldiers killing each other, ....not FLOWERS!!!!

Richard K. Overton, the subject of one of Orange County's most riveting trials who was convicted of murdering his wife, a popular school board member, by slipping her poisons in 1988, has died, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has confirmed. He was 81.
Overton died Thursday at a hospice in Northern California after he had been transferred from Folsom State Prison, where he was serving a life sentence, said Frank McAdams, co-author of "Final Affair," a book on the criminal investigation. Overton died from advanced dementia and complications of diabetes, McAdams said.
The Overton trial had the workings of an Agatha Christie novel. Prosecutors revealed a story about the bookish itinerant college lecturer and business consultant who had grown jealous of his gregarious wife, Janet L. Overton, an elected trustee of the Capistrano Unified School District for 11 years, and about his suspicion that she had numerous affairs.
The Overtons' 19-year marriage was full of mistrust, jealousy, money problems and infidelity, according to The Times' coverage of the trial. Prosecutors suggested that one of Overton's motives was his wife's refusal to agree to a divorce, even though their marriage was in tatters.

Diamond Moissanite Tester: To check the authenticity of your diamond, moissanite tester combined with the traditional diamond testers. A diamond moissanite tester helps to distinguish the original from diamondssynthetic moissanite, largely unnoticed by conventional diamond tester.
Lamp: The fluorescent lamp has a handy magnifying glass, tray, tongs and a box. This easy to use, portable source of light is not dominant color yellow or blue to help determine the quality of the diamond.
Electronic Diamond Tester: The tester used to test the thermal conductivity of diamond. Various models are available direct and alternating current meter tester with rechargeable batteries.Tester to view the results as tones and lights, making it the best test equipment for a layman.
Diamond gauge: This device enables the accurate measurement of loose diamonds and mounted. These include the quality of the cut stone, the size and carat weight.

This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a hybrid renewable-energy system. The sizing, availability, and contribution of solar photovoltaic, wind energy and hydro energy can be simulated to determine the viability, stability, and cost effectiveness of such systems. The model allows the user to enter site specific data (hourly, daily, monthly, and annually) such as solar radiation, wind speed and precipitation. Users can select the type and size of wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine, photovoltaic panel and the electrical load placed on the hybrid renewable system. The simulation will determine the total power that can be produced on an hourly, daily, monthly and annual basis, the optimum combination of renewable energies, and usage/storage of each type of renewable energies, given the specified system and the collected data. With the help of HyRES, the model, one can determine which hybrid renewable energy system would best suit a specific site, and also help to determine which type of wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine, or photovoltaic panels would best complement each other for that site.
