Market recognition of medicinal marijuana boosts interest in hemp industry
Hempless canaries sing praise of push for industrial hemp
Despite three centuries of breeding the canary (the original Tweety Bird) has not been able to divest itself for its needs for hemp seeds. It is well known among canary breeders that male canaries need hemp seeds to sing and reproduce: no hemp seeds, no singing, and no chicks.
The hempless canary is a hempful metaphor for humankind.
There are about 2000 varieties, or strains, of hemp and only about 10% of them are capable of creating hallucinogenic effects. As one of the world's oldest agricultural crop, hemp has been the source of food and fibre for the past 10,000 years until Reefer Madness. Hemp fibre has been used to make clothing, ropes, and paper; the grain has been stewed, roasted, and milled for food; and the oil derived from the grain has been used for cosmetics, lighting, paints, varnishes, and medicinal preparations.
Hemp was implicated in the Napoleonic wars owing to the mind-blowing fact England prevented Russia to provide industrial hemp to the French for the building of a fleet (click here).
But the prohibition of marijuana has complicated things for the hemp industry, which still has significant applications in various fields including for example functional foods (hemp seeds and hempseed oil) and specialty fibre.

Speaking of fibre, Henry Ford had a vision for a car that was made from hemp fibre and which was propelled by alcohol made from the fermentation of hemp. I have uncovered a massive amount of evidence proving that the prohibition of alcohol was a measure intended to prevent Ford to develop the ethanol engine. The destruction of the industrial hemp industry was collateral damage to Reefer angst.
Like the marijuana plant, industrial hemp belongs to the species Cannabis sativa L. Although unlike marijuana, it only contains small quantities of the psychoactive cannabinol delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Nevertheless, the cultivation of both marijuana and industrial hemp were banned in 1937 (USA) and 1938 (Canada), which marked a significant reversal in history. Indeed, a hundred and fifty years ago when Next Gen Metals Inc's (N: CSE, NXTTF: OTC Pink) CEO Harry Barr's ancestors began farming and growing hemp in the Ottawa Valley, a sailing ship needed as much as 50 tonnes of industrial hemp for sails and cordage, which required replacing every second year.
Next Gen has sent the market a-not-so-subtle message by recruiting Reuben Stone of Valley Bio Limited to join its board of advisors. Mr. Stone is an Ottawa Valley entrepreneur growing 200 acres of industrial hemp, a rare expertise.
Forget cod liver oil, hemp seed oil is a better functional food. Although its fatty acid composition is most often noted, with essential fatty acid (EFA) content ranging from 25-35%, whole hemp seed is additionally comprised of approximately 20-25% protein, 20-30% carbohydrates, and 10-15% fiber, along with an array of trace minerals. With a full profile of all essential amino and fatty acids, hemp seed oil is a complete nutritional source. The proportions of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid in one tablespoon per day (15 ml) of hempseed oil exceeds daily requirements for EFAs. And unlike flaxseed oil, hempseed oil can be used continuously without developing a deficiency or other imbalance of EFAs.
The canary is named after the Canary Islands where it abounds as dull-greenish wild birds that are nothing like the bright coloured birds that are sold elsewhere for $200 a pair. Spanish sailors imported specimens to Europe in the 1700s where it was a hit with the aristocracy, which bred it for years until the right mutations gave the progeny the right feather colorings. In the wild, when hemp is in season the canaries perch on the hemp branches that hold buds and peck at seeds. Could they get high? Most definitely, cannabinoids have effects on animals, birds, fish and reptiles. Untreated seeds can be coated with THC. But studies show that the TCH content of fibre type cannabis is lower than that of drug type cannabis (hemp).
I expect that the increased recognition of marijuana as a medicine will permit to boost awareness of the modern potential for industrial hemp. The canaries are singing happily.

Raining thoughts
For all the words
I left unsaid
I was unsure
If you are the one
Or it's just me
And my silly dreams
Waiting for rain
In a desert
My imagination
Makes me wonder
If I try
For once
To speak my mind
And not be scared
But then
Life is just a series
of mistakes
But all these sum up
For great memories
Love, live and leave a smile.
For today will never come again
And tomorrow is not guaranteed!
Been away from Blogging for more than a month, yet I did write in my notepad.
A write up from March, which was an overflow of the then recent happenings. My emotions run deep as tears, words, and sometimes as silence, and I try to keep them as writing or maybe as a photograph. A painting I did along with a quote my brother shared with me.
April is bidding adieu as well!
Welcoming May with lots of hope and love!

Recently I received an email from a client who had thrown out her back and was laid up on the couch. She was FREAKING OUT about all the areas of her life that needed tending but was literally paralyzed to take action on. She asked:
"I can't help feeling like this is a sign that I need to let go. I know there is a part of me that needs to soften, but I'm so afraid that if I do that it will all fall apart."
I think we can all relate.
Just the other day I was recalling a time when I was deep in the trenches of my eating disorder, and how I used to pray for body acceptance. When I look back on it now, I can see that what I was really praying for was to lose weight. I had read somewhere that once you accept your body as it is, that is when you start magically dropping the pounds!
I certainly wasn't praying to love myself as I was, because that would mean "letting myself go".
I never in a million years thought I could accept, much less love, much less want to have sex with myself exactly as I was, the way I do now.
I wrote back to my client with an assignment to help separate letting go from letting yourself go, two concepts that easily become enmeshed.
I'd like to invite you to do this exercise with me now.
- On the left side of a page of paper, write one or two different areas of your life: job, career, family, love, friendships, body, etc.
- Next to that column, make two new columns – one that says "Let Go", and one that says "Give Up".
- For the next five minutes, fill in the two columns on the right. Just let your consciousness take a big, fat dump. 🙂 Ready? Go!
What I find every time I do this exercise, and what I hope you found too, is that letting go is in fact quite different from giving up.
We think letting go will turn our lives into a hot mess.
But in fact, letting go is often the most GRACEFUL thing a person can do.
Letting go means being like the gorgeous river stone that allows water to shape it into smooth, polished perfection.
Letting go means taking an elegant bow to the power of being fluid over being solid.
Letting go means WE, instead of just me.
Letting go means admitting that the my human mind is in fact limited in what it has the power to do, and that if I'm willing to loosen my grip, even just a little, I make room for help to arrive.
You know who really ROCKS at letting go? A rose.
As the Mae West of the floral world she arrives tight and closed, concealing soul-quenching beauty beneath her folds. The price of admission to that big burlesque of a bloom? To just…patiently….wait.
The definition of the word "let" is: "to allow".
The definition of the word "go" is: "to move from one place to another".
Imagine if all you had to do to make real progress, and move from one place to another, was to slow down and allow?
(To my client who asked the question: makes the couch seem a hell of alot more productive, hey?)

Alisa Fleming ~ Just a quick heads up that the latest edition of Vegan Culinary Experience has been released, and yes, it is still FREE to download in just one click from their website: www.veganculinaryexperience.com.
The February issue is focused on one of my favorite cuisines, Thai food. Inside you will find more than 50 recipes, from Pad Thai to Heavenly Pineapple Dessert Pizza, plus a review of Nut Butter Universe (I think you might recall this amazing Chocolate Peanut Butter Freezer Pie), and so much more.
Here is what the Chief Editor, Chef Jason Wyrick, has to say about this issue:
Thai is one of top three favorite cuisines. I love the complexity, the flavors that pop from the food, the care that goes into it, and just the fun factor of it. The dishes, whether they are curries or satay, are always ones that get people talking and even after I am full, I find myself sneaking a few more bites. While many people are familiar with some of what have become standard Thai dishes popularized in restaurants, we wanted to go beyond that in this issue and showcase the diversity of real Thai cuisine. That's why you won't just find a recipe for a massaman curry, you'll also find a recipe for a curry made with fresh green peppercorns and a noodle bowl doused with a pureed ginger sauce. You will also find recipes for making your own fishless sauce and a whole article on how to find the right vegan substitutions for those essential Thai ingredients that aren't. We also show you how to make your own curry pastes, covering authentic methods and modern time-saving cheats. It's a big issue, over two-hundred pages, with a lot of ground that we cover. While many of the recipes are no simple (although a few of them certainly are), they comprise some of the best food I've ever had. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Pop on over to the Vegan Culinary Experience website, download, and enjoy – All recipes are vegan, and therefore dairy-free, too!

Bart Stupak's Big Weekend
Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:
Man of the Hour
It was a good weekend for Michigan Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak. He worked out an 11th hour deal with the White House that restricted federal funding of abortion, thus enabling the pro-life Democrat to vote yes on the health care bill.
Two days earlier, Stupak's office announced more than $725,000 in federal grants would be coming to his district for maintenance and improvements at three airports. A press release from his office says the funding is from the Transportation Department and was awarded through competitive grants.
But some in the blogosphere question the timing of the funding, calling Stupak a "cheap date" for his yes vote. Stupak's office called the speculation, "grasping at straws."
Tightening the Belt
New York Democratic Governor David Paterson is facing a $9 billion budget deficit in his state and has proposed major cuts and tax increases. Now some state lawmakers are blasting the governor for including an $800,000 earmark in his budget proposal for conjugal visit trailers at a maximum security prison in Seneca County.
A local newspaper reports the money would be used for two double-wide trailers that would enable inmates to host family members. Republican State Senator Michael Nozzolio has called on Paterson to abandon the funding saying: "It is simply unconscionable that the governor would authorize such an outrageous expenditure of taxpayer dollars... when the people of New York can least afford it."
Rose by Any Other Name
You had better stop and smell the roses while you still can. Malaysian researchers say there is concern among environmentalists that flowers are losing their scent because of global warming and air pollution. They say scent tissues are being burned up due to climate change and flowers will need to be genetically modified to retain their smell in warmer climates.
Climate scientist Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama-Huntsville rejects that theory saying: "It's more likely that they got some mushrooms mixed in with their flowers."
Geography Lesson
An advertising campaign by India's rail ministry left the country looking like it needed a geography lesson. A luxury train ad put the Indian capital of New Delhi in neighboring Pakistan and located another Indian city in the Bay of Bengal.
The ministry blamed the advertising agency and quickly blacklisted the company.

Pay attention to your sleep habits by keeping a sleep journal. This will allow you and your doctor to trace the causes of your sleep problems.
Download the sleep journal at the right sidebar of this page.
Fill it in each day, if you forget some information on a given day, that's OK- but try to fill in as much as possible. After a few weeks, you can look for patterns in your sleep. For example, you may notice on nights that you ate after midnight, you woke up more times during the night; therefore you might want to avoid eating so late. Locating these patterns can help you and your doctor improve your sleep.
During the day, keep track of the following:
And at night, keep track of the following:

Since his 2004 trifecta of EPs (Maples Leaves, Rocky Dennis in Heaven, You Are the Light) and right on through his acclaimed 2007 full-length, Night Falls Over Kortedala and 2012′s touchingly personal I Know What Love Isn't, Lekman has made hopeless romantics of us all. In a musical language that has roots in the work of Arthur Russell, The Magnetic Fields, Calvin Johnson and Modern Lovers, Lekman's songs serve as a reminder to look closer at the world around us, to appreciate the beauty when it's both in and out of context; at its most heartbreaking, its most loving, and its most absurd.
Jens drops by KOKO on 29 August touring his brand new album 'Life Will See You Now', out now.

You are in the Executing phase of your project. As project manager, you receive weekly status reports on work progress from team members. In reviewing the inputs from your team members, you are particularly interested in two tasks: Task 89 has an EST of 45 and an LST of 58; Task 101 has an EST of 64 and an LST of 51. Which of these tasks is riskiest?
- Task 89 is riskiest.
- Task 101 is riskiest.
- Risk cannot be determined based on the given information.
- Both are equally risky.
The correct answer is 2
One way to determine the riskiness of a task is to look at the float of the task. The formula for float is LST – EST (late start time minus early start time). Task 89 has 13 time units of positive float. Task 101 has 13 time units of negative float. Negative float means that the project is behind schedule, so task 101 is the riskier of the two tasks. If this task is not finished earlier, the project will finish late.

What is the Meaning & Definition of terminology
For a fan of antiques, this concept will have a very specific meaning, but to a neurologist Sella is something completely different (is a hole located in the base of the skull in which the pituitary gland is located). If you use the word substance, we faced a similar situation, since in philosophical terminology, it has a meaning and in the sphere of chemistry a very different.
The examples listed above lead us to a conclusion: know something supposed to be familiar with its terminology. This circumstance can be seen clearly in medicine, in which patients often ask specialists to clarify the terms used, since the profane in medicine normally unknown technical vocabulary.
The terminology in the economy, an example of globalized vocabularyNowadays English is the global language par excellence. If we are in the economic context, we will realize that we directly use terms in English (cash-flow, free trade, trust, stock, banking and many others) or, conversely, adapt them directly to our own language (devaluation comes from devaluation, labor market comes from the labour market, oligopoly of olygopoly and theory of theory of prices prices).
By studying the different dimensions of the economy we are forced to carry out a dual task: Learn about procedures, laws and theories and, at the same time, using specific vocabulary. Basic vocabulary of economics books are edited to facilitate this task. They each concept has an own sense. With some frequency, a non-technical term acquired a specific meaning in the economy.
This is what happens with the word credit, which can be used as non-economic term (his word has no credit) or as something singular of economic activity.
Terminology as a stand-alone disciplineWhile the idea of terminology is projected in a specific area of knowledge, there is also terminology as a discipline independent. Its creator was the Austrian Eugen Wuster, who based on the study of esperanto as an international language, came to a conception of terminology as a discipline necessary to unify diverse branches of knowledge. His theoretical work was reflected in the well-known standards ISO, the International Organization for standardization which promotes common standards in the manufacture of all kinds of products.

Iceland's wide open spaces have become the newest old west territory. Prospectors attracted by its mountains, volcanos, glaciers, rivers, sand reefs, lagoons, ice caps, and seacoasts can be found pursuing every sport imaginable. And like those earlier times, those supplying a place to stay, grub, and tools are experiencing a boom time.
Today, we have normal wifi. Yesterday, it was barely strong enough to send or receive email, much less photos. In my efforts last night, I posted three blog entries. When a friend discovered it and alerted me, I mistakenly erased the blog post that I had included in the my emails and shared messages on Facebook and Google Plus.

What If? Writing Prompts: Love and Peace III
As I enter the incredibly hectic final stretch of a major chapter in my life, I leave you all this week with some more "What If?" Writing Prompts to help tide over my creative writing posts. Someone recently expressed interest in the last set of love and peace prompts that I shared, saying they were good positive stimuli in such a negative world, so in the face of the media's constant storm of bad news, please enjoy another batch of feel-good prompts for your writing. What positive stories can you spin from these ideas? Have fun!
What if… in the future, war became a subject exclusively of fiction and history books?
What if… technology were only ever used to help people, never to hurt them?
What if… all nations united in an effort to end world hunger?
What if… political leaders succeeded in abolishing poverty?
What if… everyone in the world had access to affordable, high-quality education?
Good luck creating more tales about love and peace!
If you have any "What If?" writing prompt suggestions (for any theme), please feel free to share them in the comments below. Ideas I like may be featured in future "What If?" posts, with full credit and a link to your blog (if you have one)! Also, if you've written a piece based on an idea you've found here, be sure to link back to the respective "What If?" post. I would love to see what you've done with the prompt! Thank you!

John is the son of William P. Lear, designer of the Lear Jet executive aircraft, the 8-track stereo, and founder of Lear Inc. (now Lear-Siegler Corp., a large defense contractor). He wrote extensively about airplanes and other subjects and was Middle East correspondent for "Combat Illustrated" between 1975 and 1977 while stationed in Lebanon with a cargo airline. Mr. Lear retired in 2001 having flown over 150 different types of aircraft and as an airline pilot having flown over 19,500 hours in 60 countries for 25 different airlines.
He attended Le Rosey 'School of Kings' in Switzerland and in the summer of 1959 John became the youngest American to climb the Matterhorn in Zermatt. He majored in Industrial Design at the Art Center School in Los Angeles in college but left in favor of flying, quickly checking out single and multi-engine land and seaplanes, helicopters, gliders, balloons, and fighter type aircraft. In 1968 he pylon raced a twin engine Douglas B-26 Invader in the Reno Air Races, the largest aircraft ever raced at Reno at the time. At age 28, he was one of the youngest Boeing 707 captains to fly in airline commercial service. In a flirtation with politics, John was once a candidate for Nevada State Senate.
Lear is an amateur astronomer and photographer. He has won several awards for his photos taken during his worldwide travels and is also an accomplished yachtsman having skippered 'Soliloquy' one of the 5 5 America's boats after changeover from the 'J' Class. Lear, who has four daughters, lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife. Marilee, a former actress with Warner Bros. and currently the only CSA (Casting Society of America) member in Nevada.
John's Dad, William P. Lear, Sr. was President and Chairman of the Board of Lear, Inc. who in 1952 became the government's primary contractor for anti-gravity. To the concern of the Pentagon, John's dad was outspoken in his belief of the existence of extra-terrestrial visitors; however John did not become interested in the subject until 1985 when UFO stories captured his attention.
John believed that in 1954 then U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower met secretly with several ET's at Muroc Flight Test Center (to become Edwards Air Force Base). Apparently no agreement of any sort was reached. Then, about 10 years later, in April of 1964, another meeting between ET and the U.S. Government took place at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. Three saucers landed at a prearranged area and a meeting was held between the aliens and intelligence officers of the U.S. Government."
John Lear became a popular lecturer in the UFO circuit, and along with Mathematician Pari Spolter became convinced that Isaac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation was wrong and that gravitational force is independent of the mass of the attracted body and that there is no basis for his assumption that gravitational force is due to and is proportional to the quantity and density of matter.
Lear also believes that there are no Hadrons of any size, shape or form and that Singular Mass Units orbited by Chargons make up the next smallest units of matter to Quarks and that there is a nuclear glue yet to be found inside the photon. ET's shut down the large hadron collider before scientists were able to cause major damage to the world.
John knows what happened to Malaysia MH370 and believes its disappearance is a major worldwide conspiracy.
John believes in the work of Pari Spolter who, in 1993 wrote the book, "The Gravitational Force of the Sun" which scientifically and mathematically proved that Newton's equation for Gravitational Force is wrong and that neither size nor density of a planet figures in its gravitational force.
Using the Bullialdus inverse square equation for the gravity of the moon, the moons gravity works out to be 85% that of Earths (worked as a 3 body equation) and provides a breathable atmosphere for the quarter of a billion humans (not originally from Earth) he believes lives on the moon.
John also believes that there are many civilizations far below the surface of the Earth, some looking like humans, some very strange looking and most of which mankind on the surface will never learn about.
John believes we (humans) were on the moon by 1962 and Mars by 1967 and that the NASA Apollo program was a hoax and never put a man on the moon.
He also believes that there are 40 planets in our solar system, not merely the 9 that NASA has told us about and that all of these planets and their moons have together thousands of civilizations including massive civilizations that are built in space and don't use planets for a base.

Breaking News
A Camden County judge has dismissed the Missouri Baptist Convention's second lawsuit against Windermere Baptist Conference Center. Last year, a judge in Cole County examined the merits of the MBC's first lawsuit and ruled for Windermere. In February of this year, the appeals court unanimously upheld the ruling. Last month, the full appeals court refused to rehear the case and refused to transfer the case to the state Supreme Court. The MBC has not yet filed its appeal to the state Supreme Court. However, their attorney, Michael Whitehead, was already preparing the troops to continue the lawsuits by claiming that even if the loss in the first case remained, they would win in the Camden County case (I critiqued that argument in a post last week). But now they have lost that case as well. Although they might decide to appeal, such efforts seem unlikely to be successful since every single judge that has examined the merits of the case has ruled against the MBC. Since it was recently proven that the MBC has used Cooperative Program money to fund the lawsuit (despite promising not to), one must wonder how much more missions money they will waste on a losing case.

Thanks for the news. The case could be made that the MBC is close to the line or has crossed the line from taking appropriate legal action to harassment. I wonder what the Judges across the State of Missouri must think of the attorney that is leading the charge for the MBC.ReplyDelete

Talk about the subject you consider most important
Of all the subjects that I study in school, I think that English is the most important subject. It is mainly through the English language that we gain access to the various sources of knowledge.
English is a language which is spoken and understood by many people in most countries of the world. It is, in fact, the most important means of communication among the various countries of the world. Knowledge of new discoveries and inventions in one country is transmitted to other countries through English for the benefit of the world. In this way, English helps to spread knowledge and progress.
It is true, however, that in the modern age, the study of Science and Mathematics too should be considered very important. Science has conferred many benefits in man. But it requires little thought to realize that scientific principles cannot be understood well without a good knowledge of a language. And, though other languages such as German and Russian are important in the world of Science, it is English that plays the most important role in spreading scientific knowledge. There is in fact no branch of study that has not been communicated in English. The original writings of great scientists, economists, philosophers, psychologists and others who did not speak and write the English language have all been translated into English. Therefore, one who has a good knowledge of English has access to all the sources of information.
Further, as the English language is used by people of different lands and cultures, it has become very rich. It contains so many words, ideas and thoughts that a good knowledge of English enriches the mind and enables one to express oneself well. It also helps one to think better and to understand the people of other lands. It is for all these reasons that I consider English the most important subject in school.

Off-Duty Firefighter Dies in Fall at Beach Rental Home
The Houston Chronicle via YellowBrix
July 05, 2011
PORT ARTHUR, TX – An off-duty Port Arthur firefighter died over the Fourth of July weekend when he fell from a balcony of a house in Crystal Beach.
Steven McShan, 24, of Lumberton, was climbing to a third-floor balcony from the second floor of the house when he fell about 40 feet onto a concrete driveway about 8:45 p.m. Saturday, said Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo of the Galveston County Sheriff's Department.
McShan was trying to reach children who were playing on the third-floor balcony.
LifeFlight took the firefighter to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, where he died upon arrival.
McShan had rented the Bolivar Peninsula home in the 2300 block of Antigua Drive with friends for the holiday weekend, Tuttoilmondo said.

Where do I start, I suppose from the very beginning. I originally got this model back in 2003 when I visited warhammer world with a friend for a doubles tournament, probably the most expensive model I have ever purchased at £185, but it was a special occasion, and that's where the story goes cold, because in all that time it has simply just been abandoned never completed by my big Mek. But recently A local rival Mek has been on the scene, building ever so bigger creations for the ork Gods. And not wanting to be upstaged, it was about time that this superheavy saw some action on the table top. Plus my war boss needed his own personal battlewagon, and hopefully this will fit the bill.
With all this talk about super heavy and escalation, it's about time that I got this bad boy to pass, it's next MOT. So over the next couple of days, I will be posting up as many pics as physically possible with all my progress.
I've decided I am going to magnetize all the turrets, as it will make it easier in game.
It's about time I worked on the lucky guy who is going to be the driver.
This forge world model is now discontinued and are no longer available, as I at one stage was hoping this is the design that they would use when the model was updated with a plastic kit, sadly that wasn't the case.

I really enjoyed my lessons with Elliotts, as they were enjoyable at the same time as helping me to be a safe driver.
Thanks, Conor.
I never felt intimated and could easily ask questions about driving situations that I didn't' quite understand.
I was really nervous about learning to drive but my instructor certainly put me at ease straight away and I looked forward to my lesson each week
Tanya, Beeston
I'd had driving lessons before with another driving school, but failed my test twice. I then changed to Elliotts School of Motoring after a friend recommended them and I have now passed and am recommending Elliotts to my friends at University
Jade, Ilkeston
I had never driven before, but I think Graham Rawson my instructor is very good. He is always very punctual, gives precise instructions and is very understanding, flexible and won't charge unnecessarily if I change the schedule at short notice. He has been immensely helpful to me and i am sure whoever decides to enroll with him won't be disappointed.

Each episode of Comedy Central's series South Park is written, recorded, and animated in just six days, and that insane process is explored and revealed in a new documentary, aptly titled Six Days to Air: The Making of South Park. The documentary, which follows the show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, debuts at 10 p.m. ET tonight on Comedy Central.
As you can see in the trailer below, the episode featured is last spring's "HumancentiPad," which satirizes Apple's products and draconian terms of service agreements by having characters shit into each others' mouths–classic South Park, basically, cutting satire and hilariously over-the-top humor.
The film's director, Arthur Bradford, who also created How's Your News, said that Matt and Trey "wanted it to look like a real documentary, not a reality show; not a celebrating all their accomplishments kind of thing, try to make it a true documentary. That was the esthetic I was working on." He also said that "Matt and Trey can smell bullshit a mile away so they just didn't want a network puff piece about South Park."
Bradford also said that the show's creators originally rejected his request to film them. "I asked Matt years ago about the possibility of doing a documentary about the way they make South Park–having seen the way it was done I know it would be a good subject–and he had actually said no. So I kind of forgot about it and then Matt approached me when they were doing Book of Mormon and said, 'We've got this new project, want to document that?'"
The director is still working on that documentary, but in the meantime, we have this behind-the-scenes look at South Park:

A Phase III trial finds that Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) more effectively controls symptoms than standard therapy for patients with polycythemia vera (PV). These findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Polycythemia vera is a slow-growing type of blood cancer that belongs to a group of blood disorders called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). In these disorders, the bone marrow cells that produce blood cells develop and function abnormally. In PV the bone marrow makes too many blood cells, particularly red blood cells. These excess cells thicken the blood and can cause complications, such as a risk of blood clots or bleeding. Without treatment, PV can be life threatening and can eventually progress to more serious blood cancers, such as myelofibrosis or acute leukemia. Effective treatment, however, can significantly decrease risks and complications.
There is no cure for PV. As a result, treatments that help control symptoms of the disease are incredibly important. Common symptoms include tiredness, itching, muscle aches, night sweats, and sweating while awake. Current standard therapy does not effectively control these symptoms.
Jakafi has proven effective in the therapy of PV, including in patients with intolerance or resistance to standard therapy including Hydrea® (hydroxyurea). Jakafi works by inhibiting proteins (JAK1/JAK2 proteins) that may play a role in the development of MPNs by causing the body to make the wrong number of blood cells. Jakafi may provide better symptom management than Hydrea.
Researchers conducted a Phase III study to compare Jakafi with standard therapies in patients who did not respond well to Hydrea. In addition to disease control, the researchers evaluated how effectively Jakafi helped control symptoms of PV. They were divided into two study groups: one received Jakafi, and the other received standard therapy.
At eight months, more patients on Jakafi experienced an at least 50% reduction in symptoms (49% versus 5%). The control rates for specific symptoms with Jakafi were as follows:
- Tiredness: reduced by 50% (compared to 4% with standard therapy)
- Itching: reduced by 95% (compared to 2% with standard therapy)
- Muscle ache: reduced by 61% (compared with a minor increase with standard therapy)
- Night sweats: reduced by 100% (compared with a 4% increase with standard therapy)
- Sweating while awake: reduced by 100% (compared to 4% with standard therapy)
- Headache: reduced by 52% (compared to 11% with standard therapy)
- Concentration problems: reduced by 44% (compared to 17% with standard therapy)
- Dizziness: reduced by 80% (compared to 8% with standard therapy)
- Skin redness: reduced by 64% (compared with a 5% increase with standard therapy)
- Vision problems: reduced by 42% (compared with an 11% increase with standard therapy)
- Numbness and tingling in hands or feet: reduced by 37% (compared to 16% with standard therapy)
- Feeling full quickly when eating: reduced by 94% (compared to no change with standard therapy)
- Stomach discomfort: reduced by 66% (compared to a 1% increase with standard therapy)
Patients receiving Jakafi also had significantly better disease control than those on standard therapy and a higher rate of remission.
These findings suggest that patients with PV experience more effective symptom control with Jakafi compared with standard treatment. Because there is no cure for PV, symptom control is critical for the health and well-being of patients.

'Mangi, beva e lavi la tua faccia'.. is an old Sangiorgese saying and it's also what you do with watermelon.
This zipangulu's for you Barbara.. We're both hoping that your wishes come true.
You eat, drink and wash your face.
Anguria (or zipangulu in dialect) is a summery treat that is as good a reason as any to be envious of anyone travelling in Italy in the late summer. Having finished many a meal with watermelon, it's something that I now associate with our time there. For me, smells and flavours, in particular, conjure up distinct memories.
We'd gone to the market. Usually, I'm the one wandering off.. lured on by the call of a vendor or the glimpse of piles of fresh something or other. But on this day, someone else is missing. While I had certainly noticed the massive watermelons piled at one of the first stalls we passed, I didn't notice one being carried off by my (now absentee) shopping companion.
At an easy 12kg, this wasn't one to be missed. And it was melon perfection, seeds and all. Astonishingly sweet, it tasted of childhood summers at the beach. Forget all the tasteless, seedless specimens you've had in the past. Eat, drink and wash your face - go for the traditional.
I found this photo while perusing the pictures of our 04 trip to Italy and it reminded me of this issue Barbara was having with her local fruit and veg vendor. This was not a problem in the Cittanova weekday market where the lack of a posted price would be a cause of great grief to the vendor. The prices are clearly marked but they are, however, open to negotiation.
This zipangulu's for you Barbara.. We're both hoping that your wishes come true.

So I decided to go back to University – crazy idea I know – and as part of my course I am required to write a blog which looks at social media, both my personal and professional experience, and how it can be utilised to effectively communicate messages. Snore – I know but bare with me!
So let's start with the basics – what is social media? Isn't it just another medium for connecting with others who have similar interests? An opportunity to know that hey you're not the only other person on the planet who hates bananas and can't ride a push bike. If you're wondering yes I do hate bananas, and no I can't ride a push bike not for lack of trying…
When I googled social media the Wikipedia page said that we have been communicating with others socially for thousands of years referring to cave paintings as one of the original forms of social media – a way to relate/ connect with a large group who have similar interests without directly speaking – today it is more understood to be a method of communicating with others electronically via social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest to name a few, as well as communicating via chat forums, blogs and a variety of other mediums.
So what is my experience with social media? the same as most – I Facebook, tweet, pin pics to Pinterest watch cat videos on YouTube and follow several blogs – even started my own a few years ago only to give up on it once my husband found out about it and couldn't stop laughing at its name…. nope don't ask I'm not sharing that one.
Professionally I work in communications for a health association and we use Twitter and Facebook, have a website which allows members to post forum topics and hold discussions and allow the general public to have a say on anything we upload. We just started our own TV studio – as we all know video is the way of the future or so the stats tell us – so I am now the producer, director, cameraman and video editor as well as the resident photographer. It has been an interesting experience to say the least.
So the million dollar question is why are we on social media? Personally I use Facebook to keep up to date with all my friends – some of them I see quite regularly while others I might not see for a few months and I like feeling like I am a part of their lives even if we only converse over the web. I use Twitter to keep up to date with all my favourite authors and latest movie releases – I also follow politicians and current news and affairs programs. I use Pinterest to catalogue everything that I would have previously bookmarked – recipes, house designs, beauty tips and art and fashion designs.
Professionally I see social media as another avenue to communicate. It is just an additional communication medium – similar to issuing a media release or holding a doorstop. The benefit of using social media opposed to traditional communication mediums is receiving immediate feedback. We have four Twitter accounts all for different purposes – one is follows the movements of our President, one is used to inform media of our activities, one is used to talk to health professionals and one is used to speak to a select group of health professionals. Our Facebook page is used to communicate with health professionals about our activities. As mentioned, we have just started producing videos which we upload to YouTube – these are usually one to two minute grabs of one of our spokespeople talking about topical health issues. We have been using social media as an organisation for a few years and originally started utilise the various tool after members claimed we didn't inform them enough of our activities. One of the biggest hurdles we have had is informing people that we are now using different social media tools – we are steadily increasing awareness of our participation on these sites. We are now trying to develop great content that reflect what our audience wants to know.
So back to the blog… Dictionary.com defines a blog as a website containing a writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions etc., and often contains images and links to other websites. So who am I and what are my opnions… At the age of five on my first day of kindergarten I became best friends with a boy in my class because I asked him two very important questions and we happened to agree on the answers so here goes… Do you like bananas? And do you like rocks??? If you answered no for the first and yes to the second you are my new BFF … No seriously… I was a strange child! My favourite foods were stinky cheese (blue-vein cheese) and red onion bread. I honestly believed everything tasted better with tomato sauce and that beetroot was made by the Gods… now I can't stand either. I loved books – still do and wrote my own stories constantly – mainly about unicorns.
Now days I am a too close to 30 female that believes in changing her hair colour with the seasons and loves to watch tacky action movies – Mission Impossible, Fast and the Furious – you get my drift… ha… get it drift. I love to read young adult fiction – so shameful I know, and constantly design my future house by spending hours trying to find the perfect wallpaper to match my latest colour scheme. I am a mad art fanatic – I went to New York recently and was shamefully close to tears by getting up close and personal with a few Picasso's, Monet's and Van Gogh's. I am an environmentalist at heart – I developed a 'go green' program when I was 10 for my school. I am also obsessed with the latest fashion trends and change my shoes seasonally! I married my high school sweetheart – yep we are that lovey dovey annoying couple that you all love to hate and have been married for five years in October with no kids and none planned for anytime soon.
So although I had to start this blog to talk about social media and how it impacts both organisations and people generally I will do so in relation to my own personal thoughts and beliefs – for what is social media without a social connection.
To end here is a video of a cat doing something on YouTube because you can nenver get enough of other peoples cats doing crazy stuff!!
Xoxo – social girl

Help Charity Navigator rate more organizations with your tax-deductible donation.
Information regarding the conduct or operations of a charity that comes to the attention of Charity Navigator is reviewed by Charity Navigator's Donor Advisory/Watchlist Committee (the committee is made up of CN staff and/or members of the Board of Directors).
In making a determination of whether to add a charity to the CN Watchlist, the Committee considers the reliability of the source of the information, the nature, scope, and seriousness of the charges or allegations, if proven, timeliness, and other factors it deems relevant in each instance.
The Committee does not have the capability to independently assess the veracity or accuracy of the information, nor does it attempt to do so. The Committee views its role solely as determining whether a donor might find such information relevant in considering whether to make a contribution to the charity, or an alleged charity.
Charity Navigator neither makes representation nor takes any position regarding the accuracy or completeness of the reports referred to in the CN Watchlist item or contained in the external links to which donors are directed. The views and opinions expressed therein are those of the authors of or sources for the reported information and not those of Charity Navigator, which is not responsible for the nature or content of the information presented through such external sources and websites.
Issues regarding the conduct or operations of a charity that could result in adding it to the CN Watchlist may include, but are not limited to:
Charity Navigator reminds viewers of its site that it is the ultimate responsibility of donors to decide whether a particular charity is appropriate for them, and that they should take into account as many sources of information (aside from Charity Navigator) as they feel comfortable in pursuing when making a charitable gift.
Posting on CN Watchlist Does not Cause Suspension of Rating
Once the Committee determines that a charity is to be added to the CN Watchlist, the charity's rating is not removed, but the report is posted prominently beside the charity rating. We take this approach because we believe that the issues that led to a charity's being added to the CN Watchlist do not rise to the level of a Donor Advisory but are by definition, of a nature such that they may in the near future lead to either a diminished confidence in the data upon which the rating is based or suggest that other factors beyond our current rating dimensions may eventually lead to significant concerns. Furthermore, we believe that a charity's results are the most critical factor in selecting a charity to support and the issues identified in the CN Watchlist may reduce the charity's ability to create quality results.
See "How Do We Decide To Remove A Charity from the CN Watchlist?" for an explanation about our process for removing CN Watchlist charities.

The mercury is slowly inching its way into warmer temperatures, and your scuba gear's all ready. But how are those dive skills? Still fresh after the off-season?
In a previous article, we covered how to prepare your gear for the coming of the spring, and with it, the dive season. But the dive equipment is only part of diving.
The main part is what is using that gear: the diver.
And just as gear can gather dust over the winter months, so can the all-important dive skills.
If you dive with a dive center, and if it has been a while since your last dive, they'll ask you to do a checkup dive. But if you're diving on your own, no one is going to require this of you. However, you can do your own.
Here's what I focus on when I take a new client, who hasn't been in the water for a while.
Dive Equipment Assembly
Putting the gear together before a dive is a key skill, and if you're new to diving, it may not be second nature.
But even if you're experienced, take your time assembling it for the first dive of the season, and make sure you get all the details right.
One of the skills that deteriorate the quickest is buoyancy control. Those intricate little maneuvers and adjustments that make up good buoyancy may be second nature at the end of the season, but coming back after a long break. I've always found that they're not as sharp as they could be.
So take your time on this, and be very conscious of any adjustments you make. You might want to consider starting your dive out with a few basic buoyancy exercises, such as a fin pivot and a stationary hover.
Finning technique
We've already covered this in a previous article as well, read the whole finning techniques article.
For the first dive or two, check your finning and look back every now and again to see how much, if any, sediment you're kicking up as you swim close to the bottom.
Basic scuba skills
It is also worthwhile to practice a few of the basic drills from your entry-level dive course. Mask clearing, mask replacement, and ascending at the correct speed are all skills every diver should have down to a "T", and worth practicing from time to time. Breathing is also important in diving, make sure your breaths are slow, deep, and deliberate, as they always should be.
Water comfort
After a winter of staying on dry land, sometimes some of that ease we build in the water as we do a number of dives during the summer goes away. So as you're diving, take note of your general tension level, and work on releasing any tension you may be feeling.
By taking a dive or two at a well-known site that is well within your comfort level. You'll get time to focus on the basics of scuba diving and it'll be a great way to start the season off right.
After all, if the basics are out of whack, everything else suffers, too.
Are you ready to start the dive season?
Did you already do your check dive? What skills did you practice? Was there any specific skill you had difficulties mastering again?
Tell us how your dive-season-start-up-dive when, in a comment below.

After Jess from Jess Loves Fred and Carmen from The Chronicles of Her tagged me in their recent posts, I was contacted by the Sportsgirl team to get involved in a new summer blogger initiative titled 'Believe'. I've filled out the questionnaire and shared some secret and not-so-secret facts about myself, so I hope you enjoy! Make sure you also check out the Sportsgirl blog to find out which of your favourite bloggers have gotten involved so far.
I've had quite a few different career hopes over the years. Some of which were being an owner of a candy store (a standard dream for most 5 year olds), a volcanologist, an actress, an interior decorator and a graphic designer. It wasn't until the middle stages of high school that I finally found my passion in photography though.
Did you make this dream come true or did you change your mind?
I sadly don't own a candy store (yet) however I'm currently studying photography and working within the field so the dream is slowly becoming an amazing reality.
What is your fave childhood memory?
I spent a lot of my time growing up out in the country town of Scone. I don't think I can pinpoint an exact memory but I certainly loved those 40+ degree days when all you could do was swim in the neighbours pool, run underneath sprinklers and try to eat your ice cream before it suddenly melted into a puddle at your feet.
The biggest dream you have right now?
At the moment, my biggest dream is to work within fashion photography in a position that lets me use my creativity freely. It's a bit of a broad dream but it gives me the space to figure out what it is exactly that I want to do within that field and then follow it.
Your summer must-have pick from the current Sportsgirl range?
It's a tough call but I'd have to say the Two Kinds of Love Maxi from the Sportsgirl x Miss Unkon range because it can be easily dressed up for night or dressed down for day. Florals are also set to come back in a big way so this dress is the perfect addition to any girl's wardrobe.
I've been asked to tag three of my favourite bloggers to do the same so I'm nominating Aubrey from Hope This Lasts, Kristal from The Gypsy and The Fox as well as Emma from Spin Dizzy Fall.

Tit Torture and Candle Wax When a slave disobeys me I bind her tits in rope and force her to perform felatio on dildos and candles. I also pour hot wax over a naughty slaves bound tits. But one of my favorite forms of punishment is binding a slave in bubble wrap while whipping her tits. I love to whip a slave's tits, especially the nipples. I aim that whip at her nips and let it fly, and then watch the expression of pain on the slave's face as she flinches at the pain when the whip lands on her tender nipples. So enjoyable!

It is right so actual and at times, uncomfortably and challengingly true, but few family you can ne'er oblige no business how easier said than done you try. This is thing we have to go to expressions next to as early on as practicable.
When language and reading these premiere 35 verses of Luke Chapter 7, in the New Testament, we have seen Jesus ameliorate the Roman Centurion servant, hike from the murdered that young man in the small town of Nain, and we have publication of John the Baptist's scholarly questions regarding Jesus.
John the Baptist who had been imprisoned as a aftermath of his discourse and observer - just as umteen are nowadays all in the region of our international - had to swot that Jesus was going to fetch out His Ministry - His Way - as God the Father wished-for Him to.Post ads:

Verse 23 is so key and it bears continuance. Do draft out the set book. Never be sensitive or huffed at what Jesus is speech communication and doing. Some citizens can be put off by the tiniest puny piece. We must steer clear of mortal ended highly sensitive. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and to what God is proverb to you and career you to do, but do not be overly preoccupied by unfavourable pessimistic clarification and remarks which a number of group may generate.
Jesus Christ does time of year to John's defense reaction. John may have had misgivings something like Jesus, but Jesus had no qualms going on for John. That is an key constituent to short letter.
John was no numinous wuss. John was not blown nigh on by fashionable opinions and weak fashions. John was no weakling who could be efficiently silenced. John could not be swayed and converted by Jerusalem's embassy pressures, as ancestors proved to get him to cold property thrown. John did the pursue God longed-for him to do - culmination up in correctional institution - and state headless.Post ads:

When you clue up a combatant of Jesus Christ you do not have a permit saying that you will be kept safe and sound and fighting free! Jesus says that John was more than a thinker. Jesus takes guardianship of John's laurels. John was fearless, bold, courageous, fiery, hardline and consecrated.
Jesus can yield attention of puzzled sacred text - depressed disciples - convalescent servants - and dolourous widows. So do property Him finally to appearance after you, no thing what state you brainstorm yourself in. These are cardinal grip histories which can edward thatch us overmuch.
Jesus went to parties and a few did not same him for active to parties. John wouldn't go to parties and whatsoever did not approaching him for not going. Some family you can ne'er gratify. Not even Jesus Christ could win that one. So they had a go at some. Do not try to suit family. We ne'er will. Seek to indulge God the Father. That is what Jesus did.
Verse 35. To be knowledgeable - we are to be commence to The Word of God - start to the searing things John preached and educated - commence to ambitious and radiosensitive teachings of Jesus. Then, tradition begins to shoot and go forward and fully developed in our long whist. What is wisdom? Doing what God desires YOU to do, and axiom what God wishes YOU to say. For some it will miserable parties and inebriant - for others it could have it in mind the other.
The in-chief teaching here is that we convey out our priesthood in the way our merciful caressive God calls us, and when you come intersecting inhabitants next to a not like ministry from you, stir up them.

Kelly Clarkson to Pay Tribute to Patti Page, Carole King at 2013 Grammys?
With just days until the 55th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, internet rumblings are circulating like wildfire regarding collaborations, award predictions and potential performances from some of the biggest names in all of music. It is rumored that Kelly Clarkson will forgo a performance of a song from her own catalog to pay tribute to female icons Patti Page and Carole King.
According to MjsBigBlog, Clarkson will be honor Page and King with a medley of 'How Much Is That Doggie in the Window' and 'I Feel the Earth Move' -- two signature tunes from Page and King, respectively.
Page is being honored for her contributions to traditional pop music. The singer, born Clara Ann Fowler, first made her mark in a big way with her 1950 No. 1 hit, 'Tennessee Waltz, which became one of the best-selling singles from a female in the 20th century. Page eventually went on to sell more than 100 million records during her successful career as a pop superstar.
The singing legend, who will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2013, passed away last month at the age of 85.
King is also being recognized during the 2013 Grammys ceremony with the same honor. Her 1971 record 'Tapestry,' which sold more than 11 million copies domestically, is often regarded as a masterpiece due to her ability to craft catchy tunes with profound lyrical depth. The New Jersey native is often regarded as one of best songwriters of her generation. King has been awarded four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her contributions to songwriting.
Members of the country community confirmed to perform at the 2013 Grammys include Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley. Taylor Swift will open the show with what is expected to be one of the biggest productions of the evening.
The 2013 Grammy Awards will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 8PM ET on CBS.

Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico recently launched a free iOS and Android app that uses beacon technology to power Italian wine tours. The app acts as a personal assistant throughout the tour, highlighting points of interest and special events that tour guests can take part in.
As a special treat for users who opt to download and use this app, visiting a winery will unlock special offers and discounts. Considering that the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico is a consortium that regulates wine produced in the Chianti region with hundreds of members, this will be a powerful tool for driving engagement, increasing consumer knowledge about the products and sales.
Although this is the first app to come from this particular wine consortium, this could set the standard for the way other winery tours are conducted around the world in the future.

"Mastering the Unpredictable: How Adaptive Case Management Will Revolutionize the Way Knowledge Workers Get Things Done" covers the problems associated with managing unstructured business processes and discusses how adaptive case management (ACM) can help solve them.
Featuring contributions by several business process management (BPM) experts, Keith D. Swenson's "Mastering the Unpredictable: How Adaptive Case Management Will Revolutionize the Way Knowledge Workers Get Things Done" (Meghan-Kiffer Press, 2010) covers the problems associated with managing unstructured business processes and discusses how adaptive case management (ACM) can help solve them.
For executives and managers of knowledge workers, "Mastering the Unpredictable" will:
The first excerpt from the book, taken from chapter 3 (Tom Shepherd's "Moving from Anticipation to Adaptation"), shows how case management tools provide strong support for knowledge work by allowing workers to move past anticipation of change to being able to adapt quickly to change. As Shepherd puts it:
"We need to move past assembly-line thinking, where we try to eliminate every variation, and focus on how to deal with the reality of work that changes from one situation to the next."
The second excerpt, from chapter 11 (Dermot McCauley's "Achieving Agility"), explains the need for organizations to overcome "inertia" and develop the agility required in the face of increasing global competition and technological advances.

Stay Up to Date
A lease can be written for a term that fits the equipment's usefulness. At the end of the term, the equipment may be returned and a new lease can be written for new equipment that best suits a needs.

Here is the Sunshiny Day dress that I designed.
|Sunshiny Day Dress front
I combined my two favorite addictions, crochet and sewing, into one adorable dress.
|Sunshiny Day Dress back
Now I just need a model to try it on...
This definitely does not count...
OK, erase that last photo from your memory and we can move on...
I used a shell stitch for the bodice, and topped it with a little ruffle at the neckline.
The fabric was a bundle of fat quarters from JoAnn's that caught my eye.
It was awfully fun to make something girly...maybe my nieces need some new summer dresses???

Night by Elie Wiesel
Monday, March 31, 2014
Many of you probably read Night in high school, but for those who didn't (like me)... it is the Nobel Peace Prize winning account of Wiesel's experience in the concentration camps.
There isn't much I can say about a book that takes place in a concentration camp that hasn't already been said. Harrowing. Dehumanizing. I couldn't read more than a few pages of this book at a time or I would get depressed and anxious. Night is a symbol of the darkness and loss of hope Wiesel experienced in the camp, and it is palpable and penetrating throughout the book.
I think the way that Night differs from many of the Holocaust books I've read (and I've read a few -- I had an Anne Frank obsession in high school) is the starkness of the detail. When Wiesel is running ceaselessly in the night, I felt the burning in my own lungs. He spares no details. The last lines he writes, when he has been rescued and sees himself in the mirror for the first time and says a corpse looks back at him, will probably shudder in my memory forever. His writing is simple and powerful.
I also was impacted by the theme of father and son trying to stay together but constantly being dehumanized and betraying each other. We see pair after pair of father and son being torn apart, or the son abandoning the father in his desire to survive. We see Wiesel struggle to be faithful to his father and keep him alive, but we also see, in his blatant honesty, the way the desire to survive starts to fray at his love and faith.
Night was by no means an enjoyable book to read. It sits heavy in your mind and heart and I have a feeling that heaviness will continue even though I've now read through it. However, it is worthwhile -- worthwhile to remember those that suffered in the Holocaust, worthwhile to see what the human soul can survive. It is definitely a book I will remember.

The www.andornot.com website has a new search feature: http://www.andornot.com/search. Check it out! There are some very useful indexes there, and I found myself using them even before I'd finished this project! The Andornot site is there, of course, but also the Inmagic site, Inmagic technical documentation, the Inmagic knowledgebase, Inmagic user forums, and Andornot's Furl link archive (our public bookmark repository for bookmarks we use all the time). We'll add more indexes if and when we think of them. It's just so good to have all that information searchable in one place. I used the dtSearch .NET API to construct a DtSearchHandler class that we can re-use elsewhere. Ted is going to use it for an upcoming project and I'm sure he can improve upon what I did. The whole experience was just a pleasure: I'm always impressed with dtSearch whenever I work with it, and creating this search feature really didn't take long. Next up is some advanced search features, and a way to move through highlighted hits in the cached version of the search result. Whee!

Marijuana Legalization and Taxes
May 12, 2016
Taxing marijuana presents new and unique challenges. That's why we've released two studies that serve as guides for legislators, the media, and the public as to the state of marijuana taxation today and the implications of taxing marijuana in the future.
You can find summaries of each study with links to the full reports below:
Marijuana Legalization and Taxes: Lessons for Other States from Colorado and Washington
How has marijuana legalization proceeded in the first states? How are taxes levied and how have they changed? What can we expect each state to collect in marijuana tax revenues moving forward? This report serves as a checklist for policymakers as they consider whether and how best to build a tax system around this new industry.
Read the full report here.
Marijuana Legalization and Taxes: Federal Revenue Impact
How much revenue could be raised if the U.S. legalized and taxed marijuana? How much revenue would come from business taxes and individual income taxes in particular? What other effects could marijuana legalization have on the U.S. economy? This report takes what we already know about taxing marijuana at the state level, and estimates the impact of legalizing and taxing marijuana on a national scale.
