What is the difference between medical and retail marijuana?
Medical marijuana requires a State red card, which can only be obtained by Colorado residents with a recommendation from a doctor that a patient suffers from a debilitating medical condition that may be relieved by medical marijuana. Medical marijuana patients can obtain marijuana from a licensed center, a primary care giver or their own marijuana plants. For more information about medical marijuana, please visit the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment. Retail marijuana is that marijuana sold by a licensed retail marijuana store, and can be purchased by those 21 years of age and older, up to an ounce at one time.

Answer - No. Possession laws are the same for all retail marijuana types, and public consumption is always illegal, regardless of form.
Can I have marijuana in my car?

The consequences of DUI is dependent upon the court process and varies, but can include fines, jail times and/or a revoked driver's license.

Does marijuana smoke fall under provisions of the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act (including those related to hotel/motel rooms and restaurants?
Answer - Yes. The Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act prohibits smoking in restaurants and limits the number of hotel rooms in which smoking is permitted. A hotel or motel wishing to permit marijuana smoke in individual rooms would still need to keep 75 percent of rooms smoke free.
Can a new business owner, resident, or neighborhood weigh in on whether a new marijuana retail store can open in its neighborhood?
Answer - Yes, per the Silt Municipal Code, a retail marijuana store must hold a public hearing at which the public will have the opportunity to speak regarding the licensing application. Additionally, currently the Town requires applicants to obtain a special use permit, which would require the applicant to attend a public hearing both at the Planning & Zoning Commission and at the Board of Trustees, for final determination.
Can employers restrict or prohibit marijuana use or possession by employees at the workplace?
Answer - Yes. Employers are allowed to regulate or prohibit the use, consumption, possession, transfer, display, transportation, sale or growing of marijuana in the workplace. Employers may also enact policies restricting the use of marijuana by employees.

Are there limitations on the proximity of retail marijuana businesses to schools?
Answer - Yes, all retail marijuana stores shall be no less than five hundred feet from other retail stores, schools, daycares and nurseries not located within a commercial zone district.
Does the Town allow marijuana cultivation, products manufacturing and testing?
The Town allows marijuana cultivation (not personal or caregiver)as a special use permit in the B-Industrial, Ag-Rural, and B-3 zone districts only. The Town allows marijuana products manufacturing and testing facilities as permitted uses in the B-Industrial and B-3 zone districts. The Town allows marijuana testing facilities as special uses within the B-1 and B-2 zone districts. Special Use Permits are granted at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. In the case of denial, the Town will not issue refunds for either the marijuana license application or the special use permit. The Town Board of Trustees will consider 2nd Reading of Ordinance 7, Series of 2016, on January 9, 2017. This ordinance, if approved, would prohibit cultivation, products manufacturing and testing within the B-1 and B-2 zone districts.
Can I consume marijuana inside a smoke-friendly hotel room or on a hotel balcony?
It is up to the discretion of the hotel if it allows marijuana smoke to be consumed in their smoking rooms (the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act limits all smoking to at most 25 percent of rooms). You should ask the hotel if they allow it.

Justin Bieber may have success, fame, and hot new girlfriend prospects, but as far as we can tell, he still has a lot to learn about life. And driving! Despite getting in some trouble for a crazy highway chase a few months back, the kid was pulled over again last night while joyriding in L.A. According to law enforcement sources who spoke with TMZ, the Biebs was initially pulled over for making an unsafe left turn. During the stop, the officer discovered JB's registration had expired. Guess he is too busy juggling two pretty young starlets to get that taken care of?
Adding insult to (thankfully not any) injury, while he was pulled over, it seems he decided to get in touch with his artistic side and take a photo of the scene -- and cop cars -- to post on Instagram. Gee, JB, how gangsta of you.
Check it out ...
Grrreat. Showing off via social media that you got pulled over isn't cute or funny. It's cocky, ridiculous, and annoying as hell. He should be ashamed and thinking about how he screwed up -- not snapping pics on Instagram.
Okay, okay, so being that he has worked pretty hard through the majority of his teen years, maybe he's just getting in touch with his inner teen rebel without a cause now? But that doesn't mean fans and parents shouldn't be collectively rolling their eyes at his irresponsible behavior.
Making an unsafe left turn is no joke. About 10 years ago, I was in a terrible car accident caused by driver making an unsafe left turn who my friend ended up T-boning. What if Biebs had caused a similar accident with his reckless driving and the victim was injured like I was? Wouldn't exactly be fantastic PR now, would it?
Thankfully, that's NOT what happened last night, and thankfully, West Hollywood cops were on the scene and gave Biebs the slap on the wrist he deserved. Yeah, he's young, immature, and living on top of the world right now, but that doesn't excuse him from behaving like a responsible and accountable adult behind the wheel. Even if he's driving a fancy fast Ferrari, is being chased by paparazzi, or is running late for a date with a Hungarian supermodel. Here's hoping for his and other drivers' safety, he gets a clue and grows up sooner rather than later.
Are you turned off by Biebs' reckless driving?

New recursive batch filename converter
Subject description: batch filename recursive file name path pathname directory
Renamcon (REcursive NAMe CONverter) is a bash script implementing an Xdialog-based gui for the sed editor. The file renamers that come with Puppy are fine programs, but they do not operate recursively. To manipulate my music and photo files, I needed a program that would deal with thousands of files in hundreds of directories, some of them nested several layers deep. This script does so. It is not designed to replace PRename or gFnRename, but to complement them. It is only a single file, so I did not build a pet for it. Download the attached file, expand it, put it in a directory of your choice (/usr/sbin works well), give yourself permission to execute it, and start by double clicking its name. Alternately, drag it to the desk top, assign it an icon, and start it from there.
Renamcon automates a number of common filename conversions and replacements. It will rename either files or directories, and defaults to recurse through 50 layers of directories, but can be reset to recurse through any number. It processes requests sequentially. First, you select the starting directory and choose whether to accept the default recursion depth or change it -- not much need to change unless you want to limit your search to the current directory (depth = 1) or only a layer or two beneath it, or have directories stacked more than 50 deep. Then you decide whether to process directories, files, or particular files. If you select particular files, you enter the character pattern for the names you want to process (like "*.ogg" to find your music files). Then you jump to the main menu where you can select from a list of possible actions. You can execute multiple actions one after the other, or restart in order to select other files or directories. Read the mini-help file there for additional information.
The linux find command is used to locate the files to be processed. It is very fast. It lists all 59,000 files in my computer (2.53 GHz Celeron running Wary 5.0) in about 3-4 seconds . However, the items in the main menu examine each file matching your search criteria on a line-by-line basis. This is much slower. It takes about 40 seconds for my computer to list changes to 2500 files, and 35 seconds to implement those changes. So if you need to search for a particular pattern to replace, do it when you are asked for particular files, and not from the main menu.
After the potential changes have all been found, they are presented to you for confirmation in an Xdialog editbox. This widget lets you edit its contents, so you can make additional changes there if you want to. I don't recommend it. One of the nice features of doing everything sequentially is that if you make a mistake in any step, it is relatively easy to recover from it. Making arbitrary and random changes can only be corrected manually, if you can locate them again. And do not change the path names in the confirmation box because if you change a path name the program may not be able to find any files pointed to by the old path name.
I also recommend that if you are processing large numbers of files, or having trouble with renamcon, that you run it in a terminal. It will print its intermediate steps to the terminal so you can see what it is doing.
You can also use Renamcon as a simple file finder. Enter the starting directory, and choose particular files. Enter the appropriate search pattern, and from the main menu, select List only. It will locate and display all files matching your pattern.
In addition, Renamcon counts all the files matching your criteria giving you a quick reckoning of how many of what are in your computer.
This is its first release, so let me know if you encounter any problems. Feel free to modify the script for your own use, but if you pass it on, please comment any changes you have made.
Edit: In response to Flash's request, if you select 'Directories' and then 'List only' from the main menu, the directory listing will appear in treeview format with each subdirectory indented by 3 hyphens from the next higher level. Updated file attached.

Pretty good, ravensrest.
will show the subfolders contained within a folder, without showing the files in those subfolders. Would it be very difficult to include that feature?

Flash, renamcon will simply list the directories if you select directories instead of files. However, it is a simple list, not the diagramatic view that the Xdialog treeview widget yields. If that is what you need, pm me and I'll see if I can incorporate it.

Wow, thanks! I only meant to find out how much trouble it would be to include the feature. I hope it wasn't very much trouble. Now I suppose I have to test it.
That shouldn't take long at all.
No file management program I'm aware of in Linux or Windows offers the option of showing all the sub-directories in a directory in tree form, like Tree does. So, every time someone creates a new program that looks like it might naturally include that capability, I ask how hard it would be to include it. What I'm really asking is, is that capability a natural component of the program, but it was left out of the original specification of the program? Does that make sense?
Later: Okay, I tried it and found that it does what I want and is very easy to use. I have a large number of audio books I've converted to mp3 so I can put more of them on my mp3 player, to listen to while I work. The problem is, when I want to put more of them on the mp3 player, I have to open each author to see what the book is, before I decide if I want to listen to it. Being able to see all the authors and books in a single tree view makes it much faster to decide which ones to put on the mp3 player. Thanks again!

It looks nice, but I think you need 2 simple changes to the GUI:
1. the height of the selection window should be fixed, so we don't get those long GUIs which take up most of the screen, if not more than! (netbooks, low resolutions)..
2. I am confused about replacing a string. I don't know what to enter - backslash, as it said, or forward slash, as they example shows. (I attached a screenshot)

Flash, glad you like it. The only changes necessary were basically the IF statement lines, 313-317. If you want some other character than --- to precede the listings, open the script and substitute the character of your choosing in line 314 in place of the --- that is already there.
sc0ttman, input the string to replace, a slash as shown, and the string to use in place of the old one. If in doubt about anything, simply try it; renamcon always presents the proposed changes first, and will not commit to them unless you answer OK.
I am a bit in doubt about designing custom software for each user's needs. This script is very easy to modify, and pretty well documented internally. If you want fixed length/width dialog boxes, open the script in Geany, search for 0 0 (zero-space-zero), and replace the zeros with the length and width you like.

Judaism and Creationism?: Disputes among the Orthodox
An interesting article in Moment Magazine details the tribulations of a Darwinist Orthodox rabbi in a world dominated by creationists. Author Jennie Rothenberg also writes a sidebar on mathematician David Berlinski, a Darwin skeptic:
Unlike the majority of Jewish scientists, David Berlinski, a self-described non-observant Jew, refuses to accept the theory of evolution. Berlinski is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, a Seattle-based think tank that funds research, sponsors conferences and briefs members of Congress, all in the name of intelligent design, a counter-Darwinian theory positing that living species were intentionally and individually formed.
Two major misstatements here:
1) Berlinski is skeptical of Darwin's theory of evolution, as is Stuart Pivar. This does not commit either of them to rejecting any theory of evolution at all. Indeed, Pivar is an advocate of structuralism and I suspect that Berlinski has structuralist leanings too.
2) Discovery Institute does not claim that all living species were "individually formed." Rothenberg writes as if she cannot imagine that anyone could truly doubt Darwin's specific account of the history of life on any grounds, evidence notwithstanding.

Scott Byer on the Mac Intel Switch
From his Living Photoshop Adobe Blog, Photoshop engineer Scott Byer had this to say regarding the switch to Universal Binary using Xcode.
By now you have probably figured out that we aren't releasing Universal Binaries of our current application versions. If you haven't, all you need to know is pretty explicitly spelled out here.
"But, c'mon", I hear people saying, "Steve said it was just a recompile!" Or, "Back during the PowerPC transition, you guys released a patch!"
Well, this time is different. And I really wish it weren't. But let me tell you how…
When that original PowerPC transition was done, Apple did something clever. Very clever. The emulator that ran 68k code would recognize when it was calling out to PPC code, and would fiddle with things on the stack using the Universal Procedure calling vector. A lot of gobbledy gook meaning that a 68k binary could call out to PPC code that could then execute at native speeds. Well, for those that don't know, Photoshop has a bunch of routines all tucked away to do the real heavy lifting – the bottlenecks. Most of Photoshop's CPU time is spent in these routines. Even better, you can replace these routines using a plug-in. There's the Multiprocessor extension plug-in, which replaces some routines with ones that know how to divide work up among multiple processors. And some which use the multimedia instruction sets that are available to varying degrees on different processors. And, in the case of the PPC transition, we could replace them with PPC native versions. With a plug-in, Photoshop could get a majority of the speed up as if it were a fully native application, but – and it's a key point here – without having to recompile the vast majority of the Photoshop code, along with the resulting testing hit, mounds of debugging, and everything else that would imply. Most of the gain with a fraction of the cost, it made sense to do a mid-cycle update consisting, essentially, of that plug-in.
Doing that this time around was just not possible for a variety of reasons. It means is that this time, there's no limited-cost option for getting most of the performance available on the platform for Photoshop in a short amount of time. In other words, no shortcuts.
That leaves doing the work for real – taking the whole application over into XCode and recompiling as a Universal Binary. And that's no small task. You see, as software has matured so have the development environments we've used – Visual Studio and Metrowerks – they've adapted to handle the ever-growing applications using them. From having projects with large numbers of files that open quickly, to having compact debugging information, to having stable project formats that are text-merge-able in a source control system. These are things XCode is playing catch-up on. Now, Apple is doing an amazing job at catching up rapidly, but the truth is we don't yet have a shipping XCode in hand that handles a large application well. And switching compilers always involves more work than you would think in a codebase of this size.
Now, I'm an engineer, and I'm all for getting products out in front of customers so they can use their machines to their fullest as soon as possible, but there is just no way putting out a Universal Binary of Photoshop CS2 would make any sort of sense. If you think about switching tool sets, with the resulting huge amount of work for both engineering and quality engineering, if you think about how far past the Photoshop CS2 release we already are, and if you include not having the workstation-class machines ready yet, I think you'd have to agree – far better to focus on making sure Photoshop CS3 is able to absolutely squeeze every ounce of power out of what I'm sure will be pretty spankin' Intel-based towers by that point than to do tons of work moving an old code base to new tools.

The annual $12 per-house parcel tax on the Alameda County ballot to help fund the Oakland Zoo may feel warm and fuzzy, but it lacks financial justification.
The zoo sits on city-owned property and is managed by the nonprofit East Bay Zoological Society. The society is behind the push for Measure A1, which would last for 25 years and raise $5.5 million annually. But the zoo's operating budget is close to balanced today. Society officials say they would use the money for needed capital improvements and then transition more funds to operating expenses.
But, when we asked, they were unable to produce long-range financial projections to justify the tax. We would have been fine with a five-year measure for a list of needed capital projects. But this doesn't have one. Vote no.
Meanwhile, two Berkeley ballot measures seek greater government transparency. One is overkill, the other is essential.
No on Measure U. We usually trumpet sunshine and open-meeting requirements. But this micromanaging measure goes too far. For example, it creates a new commission with the power to sue the city for compliance, gives the public the power to petition to put items on an agenda, expands public comment period to three minutes per person, and requires elected officials and city department heads to post weekly calendars of their meetings.
Yes on Measure V. This is a long-overdue, much-needed requirement that the city clearly disclose long-term debt obligations in a biennial report and spell out the repayment plans. All cities should do this. Berkeley, for example, has run up about $570 million of unfunded liabilities just for employee retirement programs.

A winner was selected from 119 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
We have worked under the name Washington State Roofing for years and are re-branding under the name Washington Lifetime Roofing. Now we are looking for a fresh, confident logo to go with it so DAZZLE US! Thanks mucho :) -Jesse
We have become a one of the largest companies in the Seattle area, and will use this logo on our trucks, on our website, and on all of our stationary. The whole website is currently being redesigned and we will need a new header and some other artwork as well, once the logo is chosen.
- Item 1...We are open for suggestions but we want something that is ultra professional, yet earthy and inviting.
Item 2... Perhaps, not to be cliche, but a logo that acts as a roof over the title, to protect the whole thing. We protect stuff :)
Item 3...Our current tagline is, "We're SERIOUS about roofing!"
- Item 1...A simple two line roof over the logo is NOT what we want.

Tradestone Markets
Tradestone Markets is a Canadian company that offers global financial trading products. Some of these products include Foreign Exchange (FX), Contracts For Difference (CFDs), Gold/Silver, Oil and Energy.
We're a Canadian based firm so our key markets will be in Canada. Though we have a global market of clients who will be trading a diverse range of financial products, from foreign currencies to oil and gold.
Our clients are financial institutions, businesses of all sizes and private investors. The logo should be bold and stand strong beside logos of the big banks and other financial institutions. If it can have a subtle accent to show that we're Canadian that would be great as well.
- Modern, strong and sophisticated.
- "Tradestone" is more important than the "Markets" piece of our name. If the logo quickly flashed across a screen the name 'Tradestone' should stand out.
- An iconic graphic to go with the company name, though please play with the text as well. The icon shouldn't totally overpower the company name and they should definitely look like they belong together. Here are some icon ideas:
- Globe
- P&L arrows as long as they're going UP
- A globe with arrows around it
- A globe like a stock ticker
- 4 stock arrows of varying colours or shades of grey to show the many markets that we deal in.
- Arrows, graphs, something stylized
- Anything else to portray finance, trading, global financial markets, profits, etc.
- No stock images, cartoons or clip art.
- We prefer a wide vs tall logo so would prefer the icon to go to the left of the text. Though then again if it's flexible and can go above or beside the company name that would be great.
NOTE: The icon shouldn't overpower or visually hide the name 'Tradestone'. It can be larger, but when you quickly look at the logo you should easily be able to see both. If this quickly flashed past a screen people should quickly be able to see the name 'Tradestone' along with our icon as the brand gets more recognized.
Along with the icon, if you find a way to work in a subtle Canadian feeling, such as a maple leaf, that would be great. It could be something as simple as the center of the O being a maple leaf. Here are some sample logos: http://logoblink.com/2008/03/18/can…-logo-set/. I have also attached a maple-leaf that you can use as a reference in your designs. And if you're feeling really artistic and have an idea for a snarling angry moose like the snarling angry bull that you'll see in some other logos, then we'd love to see it.
- Please see the attached sample logos as they have great colors. We like the idea of a blue or green and then a medium to dark grey for the secondary color. Some designers have used all three colors and it looks great.
- Please don't use a hard black text. A dark grey is better.
- Should look good on a white and dark background.
- The logo should have a 3D and 2D version
- Should look good in both color and black & white, and be faxable.
- Should be readable down to 120px wide
- .jpg, .ai (CMYK), layered .psd (RGB)
We'll be monitoring this contest closely and will post feedback regularly throughout the day. For any private questions please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The mobile Internet's growth is a trend on par with the mass adoption of the personal computer, Cramer said. Smartphones, which handle everything from voice to video to data, soon will be as ubiquitous as the PCs we now take for granted. This means that the related companies, and their shareholders, should see gains for many years to come.
To track the trend, Cramer created the Mad Money Mobile Internet Index, a group of 21 stocks at the heart of the industry. The index starts at 100, and its rise and fall will directly relate to how these companies – and the mobile Internet – fare. See the slide show for a full list of the constituents.
Note: Cramer is not rating all of these stocks as buys at all times. The index exists only to gauge his prediction that the mobile Web is tech's next big growth trend. And many of these picks are speculative, so readers must do their homework before buying, if they choose to do so. That being said, if smartphones continue their exponential growth as Cramer expects, then these are the companies that should benefit.
Cramer's charitable trust owns Apple, Cisco Systems and Qualcomm.

It's a cliché to say that as you get older, the years start passing by faster — but man, is it ever true. I can't believe 2017 is over already, especially considering how much there was to take in on a daily basis.
Most years I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping up with all the releases coming out, but last year I felt like I was drowning in new music. So many artists, both established and up-and-coming, put out vital, searching music that challenged, comforted, and inspired listeners.
There has been so much great music this year, that you'd be forgiven for having missed more than a few albums. So, I'm here to help with my list of 10 best albums you might've missed in the second half of 2017.
Here's to a better, more invigorating 2018.
To see my full top music-of-the-year list, check out my blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com.
Aminé — "Good for You"
Time and time again, rap has proved itself to be the best genre for political and social awareness, but it's important to remember the music can also be just loads and loads of fun.
Luckily, Portland, Oregon-based rapper Aminé's debut album is here to remind you of how much joy can come from listening to rap.
The album brims with infectious hooks and melodies, and Aminé proves himself a nimble MC with a sly sense of humor and a romantic streak that adds some heart to "Good for You."
And it's the heart that really makes the album stand out. So many rap records from last year tackled heavy subjects, from current affairs to personal loss and anxiety, and every now and then, it's important to remember laughter. At the beginning of another year, that's a reminder we could all use.
Gang of Youths — "Go Farther in Lightness"
Rock records like "Go Farther in Lightness" are so rarely made anymore, it's important to celebrate them when they come around.
The second album from Australia indie rockers Gang of Youths is the kind of shaggy, overstuffed, and ambitious release groups like Led Zeppelin, The Who and Bruce Springsteen have turned into classics in previous decades.
"Go Farther" is an album about ideas, and lead singer David Le'aupepe is as likely to drop lyrics about Greek heroes and the existence of God as he is to write about love and families. But don't worry — I'm not assigning you some dour, heavy-handed lecture to listen to. The album rocks, from front to back, and makes one for one of the year's most engrossing listens.
Gang of Youths are a big deal in their native Australia, and if there's any justice in the world, they'll start breaking big in America following "Go Farther." Get on the train early — you won't want to miss it.
Majid Jordan — "The Space Between"
Canadian R&B duo Majid Jordan, made up of Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman, have provided plenty of backing vocals for more well-known artists like Drake, but this sophomore album shows how talented a pair they are.
"The Space Between" is easily one of the year's sexiest albums, but it explores all aspects of romantic relationships, including moving on from old loves to the fickleness of contemporary relationships. "One I Want" is one of the best singles of the year, and "Gave Your Love Away" shows the pair's vocal range.
While Majid Jordan is obviously heavily influenced by modern soul artists like Frank Ocean and Miguel, they add flourishes of electronic music that are all their own. Which means listeners are treated with an album that sounds both familiar and new. Otherwise known as the perfect combination.
Van Morrison — "Versatile"
Van Morrison has been so good for so long, it's easy to take him for granted, especially as he's in his 70s now.
Obviously, anything he releases now isn't going to match early masterpieces like "Astral Weeks" or Moondance," but it'd be a shame to miss an album as reliably enjoyable as "Versatile." The album is a blend of classics from jazz legends like Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole, and six newly written numbers by Morrison himself. While his take on classics like "A Foggy Day" and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," are just as lovely as you would expect, it's in Morrison's compositions that the album really comes to life.
"Start All Over Again" and "Only A Dream" are two of the year's loveliest songs and show that even after seven decades, Van remains the man.
Carly Pearce — "Every Little Thing"
If you don't know that the best music in modern country is almost entirely courtesy of women, you haven't been paying attention to talents like Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Cam, Caitlin Rose, Brandy Clark, Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert.
Into this crowded field, Carly Pearce released her debut album, "Every Little Thing," in October, and immediately established herself as one of the most exciting voices of the genre. Songs like "If My Name Was Whiskey" show a sharp wit and even sharper knack for writing hooks, and "Honeysuckle" is one of the year's best love songs.
If you're searching for an album that sounds great driving up and down Colorado's roads during the summer and autumn, and also has lyrical chops, Pearce is the country gal for you.
Rostam — "Half-Light"
When multi-instrumentalist, writer and producer Rostam Batmanglij announced he was leaving Vampire Weekend at the beginning of 2016, I was more than a little concerned — not just because he was a key component of one of my favorite modern bands, but because it seemed like the music world was losing a unique and vital voice.
Luckily, his debut solo album put my fears to rest, not only because it was a chance to hear from Batmanglij again, but it shows an artist in full command of his powers.
Batmanglij has produced for a diverse range of artists over the year, from Carly Rae Jepsen and Charli XCX to Frank Ocean and Solange, and he brings that same all-encompassing vision to "Half-Light." Listeners are going to find pop sounds intermingled with electronica and eastern influences, and the result is almost always gorgeous.
The result is one of the year's most beguiling and enchanting pop albums.
Turnover — "Good Nature"
Virginia-based band Turnover's third album, "Good Nature," exists at a strange nexus of influences — there's pop punk and emo, as well as bossa nova, West Coast jazz and sprinkles of soft rock.
What this amalgamation sounds like is a quintessential summer album — almost a dream pop version of "Getz/Gilberto." The guitar lines shimmer and glisten, and the smoothness of the singing and rhythm section sends the listener floating into the atmosphere.
But all the prettiness doesn't mean "Good Nature" is all surface and no substance. There are a couple beautiful love songs, but they explore more than infatuation — tracks like "Breeze," with the closing line, "Let you keep eating my heart out with your silver spoon," are after bigger, and deeper game.
That something this pretty can have this much to say is why the album is in my top 10.
Tyler, The Creator — "Flower Boy"
When Tyler, The Creator first appeared on the hip-hop scene, he was rapping lyrics almost purely for shock value over hard, minimalist tones that sometimes barely qualified as beats. All of that is to say, if you told me he'd make the straight-up prettiest rap album of 2017 back then, I'd have laughed in your face.
On "Flower Boy," the beats are lush, soulful creations that could stand on their own if Tyler wanted them to. But fortunately, he uses the tracks as soundscapes to tell some of his most personal and love-drunk stories. "Garden Shed," where Tyler explores sexual identity, is a particular standout, but the lyrics that hit me hardest come from "911/Mr. Lonely," where he raps, "I'm the loneliest man alive/But I keep on dancing to throw 'em off/I'm gon' run out of moves 'cause I can't groove to the blues."
Waxahatchee — "Out in the Storm"
Last year, I wrote glowingly about Allison Crutchfield's debut solo album, while mentioning that her twin sister Kate has been making some of the best indie rock of the decade under the name Waxahatchee. And just a few months later, she went and proved me correct with the release of her fourth album, "Out in the Storm."
The album certainly reads like a break-up record, but Kate imbues a tired conceit with a layer of insight and forthrightness that brings the listener in as close as a whisper. The resulting intimacy on tracks like "Recite Remorse," and "Silver," are breathtaking, and the catharsis of "Sparks Fly" is like a breath of fresh air. That goes for the album as a whole.
God bless the Crutchfield sisters.
The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die — "Always Foreign"
Outside of punk, rock hasn't really contributed to much to the political activism scene in the first half of the decade. But following the 2016 election, it became clear that people were going to have to make their voices heard.
The members of The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die have never been afraid of using their music to give a voice to marginalized and misunderstood, and their take on alternative rock and emo is the perfect match for these fractious times. The group examines the stresses of fear and anxiety, the military-industrial complex, and the demonization of immigrants. Tracks like "Fuzz Minor" and "Marine Tigers" are vital, anger-filled stories.
We could all do with a little righteous indignation heading into a new year, and "Always Foreign" provides it in spades.

"We must let SeaWorld and all captive facilities know that we will not stop being a voice for these precious creatures who have lost their right to freedom, their right to live a natural life and [who] are now imprisoned, artificially inseminated and forced to perform tricks for food — all for human entertainment," said Ellen Ericksen, San Diego spokeswoman for Empty the Tanks, during the July 27 global anti-captivity protest joined by about 150 picketers outside SeaWorld San Diego on Mission Bay.
SeaWorld officials are of a different mind.
"The protesters' claims and accusations are without merit," said SeaWorld San Diego's communications director Dave Koontz. "There is no organization more passionately committed to the physical, mental and social care and well-being of animals than SeaWorld. The real advocates for animals are the trainers, aviculturists, animal-care staff and veterinarians at SeaWorld."
Rachel Greenhalgh, a Sea Shepherd volunteer and founder of Empty the Tanks, said the protest is "an awareness campaign and change movement." She argues that marine mammal entertainment parks "do not have any place in the 21st century."
"We know the level of awareness these animals have," Greenhalgh said. "We know their social connections, their eating habits and natural wild behaviors. You cannot breed natural instincts out of an animal in a handful of generations. These are incredibly social, intelligent beings that are being used to make money. It is animal slavery and it needs to be brought to the general public's attention."
Greenhalgh said Empty the Tanks is not a radical movement requesting the release of captive whales and dolphins.
"Some of these animals might be great candidates for release, but those that are not should be retired into sea pens, where they can enjoy the rest of their days in natural seawater, feeling the waves of the ocean around them," Greenhalgh said. "They should not be worked until their last breath is taken and then thrown out like trash and replaced."
Greenhalgh said Empty the Tanks has so far not gone political.
"Right now, our audience is the general public," said Greenhalgh. "The people who are simply ignorant to the issue. We want to get them to rethink their choice to visit these parks. The future of Empty the Tanks is that we will be here [at SeaWorld] every year until a change is made. We will get bigger and louder until the world wakes up to the issue."
Reacting to the July 27 Empty the Tanks Day, the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums, an international organization dedicated to conservation through public display, education and research, attacked the protest as a "publicity stunt by anti-marine park and aquarium protestors designed to discredit marine mammal facilities."
"The campaign paints a distorted picture of what our parks offer and ignores the value of the high-quality educational programs and conservation efforts of our parks and aquariums throughout the world and the quality of care they provide for marine mammals," said Alliance officials in a prepared statement. "Accredited members of the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums and our animal-care professionals know firsthand the educational and inspirational experiences children and adults have when they see live whales, dolphins and other marine mammals at our facilities. We also know from national opinion polls that the public strongly believes that seeing and experiencing live marine mammals is the best way for children to not only learn about the animals, but to inspire conservation action that can help marine mammals and their ocean environments."
Noting Birch Aquarium at Scripps in La Jolla has no marine mammals, Nigella Hilgarth, the marine education and science center's executive director, said it's easy to underestimate the value of having living organisms on exhibit.
"The key is education," Hilgarth said. "Historically, zoos and organizations like them were the only way in which a lot of people ever experienced animals. It's true to say zoos have played a huge part in awareness, building education and conservation of creatures."
Steve Feldman, spokesman for the Association of Zoo and Aquariums, a nonprofit organization founded in 1924 that accredits more than 180 facilities worldwide, said there are a number of things going for wildlife exhibitors.
"More than 90 percent of people like aquariums, zoos and marine parks, and only 1 to 4 percent of people don't like these places," he said.
Feldman said the importance of zoos, aquariums and marine parks is growing with time — and the changing circumstances.
"In a world where climate change, human encroachment and habitat loss are negatively impacting wildlife in the oceans and on land everywhere in the world, accredited zoos, aquariums and marine parks are even more important to educating people and to research and conservation," he said. "If we didn't have zoos and aquariums, we'd be asking ourselves how we could invent something an awful lot like them."
Answering the argument that captive animals like orcas, commonly called killer whales, range freely in the wild and are denied that opportunity in marine parks, Feldman responded, "There's a lot of evidence that animals that travel long distances in the world in search of food don't travel those distances when food is present."
Feldman said how well — and ethically — animals in zoos, aquariums and marine parks are treated is frequently overlooked.
"Our enrichment program ensures we meet the physical, social and psychological needs of the animals," he said. Enrichment is about "stimulating the natural behaviors in animals."
Feldman said the interaction of humans with marine mammals "stimulates play behavior and is really enriching for the animals."
Feldman said people who haven't been to the zoo or a marine park in 20 or 30 years have "missed out on an awful lot."

Marriage is the most important of the sixteen sanskaras. It is an institution through which a relationship between a man and a woman is sanctified. This relationship is finalized by people but god decides the right life partner for everyone. If you want to know what the almighty has in store for you, then you can use the Prashna Kundli.
Combinations For Quick Marriage
If Saturn is placed in a neutral house in the Prashna Kundli then the person will get a bride quickly. Similarly, when the Moon is in the seventh, second, third, sixth, tenth and in the eleventh house and Jupiter aspects it then it it results in quick marriage. This kind of result also occurs when Moon aspects Jupiter while being placed in the third, fifth or in the eleventh house.
If Ascendant or Moon is placed in the seventh house or seventh lord is situated in the Ascendant then the wedding would take place early. If Ascendant and Moon have a positive aspect or combination in with the seventh lord then the chances of an early marriage increase. Chances increase even more if Venus and Saturn are exalted in benefic houses.
Post Marriage Prosperity
According to the Prashna Kundli, if the seventh lord and Venus are in Upachay houses that is in the third, sixth, tenth and the eleventh houses in the Kundli then this combination brings prosperity and happiness in the life after marriage. Apart from this, if the seventh lord and Venus are with the Ascendant lord, the Moon or with the second lord then the life after marriage is prosperous and harmonious.
Love Marriage and Prashna Astrology
Love marriage is also one of the marriage systems prevalent today that has been described in Indian scriptures. When Moon is placed in the third, sixth, seventh, tenth or the eleventh houses in an auspicious, which are placed in the benefic signs and Mercury, Sun and Jupiter aspect it, then there is a conjuncture of love marriage in the Prashna Kundli.
In respect to love marriage, an exchange between the Ascendant lord and in the seventh or twelfth lord is important. The placement of Venus and Moon in their own signs or in exalted signs create strong chances of love marriage. If the combination of the fifth lord, is in combination with the seventh lord or Ascendant lord, or aspects them, the person will get the desired life partner.
Delays in Marriage
If malefic eighth lord aspects the Ascendant or the seventh lord, or a malefic planet is placed in the eighth lord then the marriage is late.

Spurs win, put Warriors on brink
Curry and Thompson unable to get up to speed, combine for just 13 points
SAN ANTONIO -- Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each scored in single digits, and David Lee played only eight fewer minutes than Andrew Bogut at center for the Warriors.
Whichever way you arrange those numbers, you come up with an equation for disaster.
Injuries made it impossible for the Warriors to rekindle much of the grit and toughness that defined Sunday's series-tying victory, and they got run out of the AT&T Center by the Spurs 109-91 in Tuesday's Game 5.
With the Spurs leading the best-of-seven series 3-2, Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals is Thursday in Oakland, and Game 7, if necessary, will be in San Antonio on Sunday.
Curry said his sprained left ankle felt much better Tuesday, but he never could convince it to accelerate to top speed and shot 4-of-14 from the field for nine points. His backcourt mate, Thompson, wasn't ailing, but he struggled even more - going 2-for-8 for four points. Curry shot just 1-of-7 from three-point range, and Thompson didn't even attempt a three-point shot for the first time all season.
"I was terrible - plain and simple," Curry said. "Individually, I didn't have anything on either end, was a step slow, couldn't get a shot to fall and lost a little focus defensively. I have to be better."
Sports Videos
Bogut played 19 minutes and 32 seconds, yo-yoing in and out of the lineup on his surgically repaired left ankle and forcing head coach Mark Jackson to get more time from Lee, who played 12 minutes despite his torn right hip flexor. Bogut had six rebounds and no blocks as the Warriors lost the battle of the boards for the first time in the series and allowed the Spurs to connect on 51.9 percent of their shots.
"Like I've said many times, 'Everybody is banged up at this point,' " Bogut said. "There is no point in me sitting here and crying about injuries."
Curry played only 4:30 in the fourth quarter, and Bogut was limited to 2:27. Neither had a point or a rebound, but Curry did have an assist and a turnover.
"It just got to a point where (the Spurs) had made plays and I had to look toward Game 6," Jackson said. "I was just being smart. That's all. I didn't want to see anybody get hurt."
Harrison Barnes led the Warriors with 25 points and seven rebounds, Jarrett Jack had 20 points, and Carl Landry added 16 points and six rebounds. But it wasn't nearly enough against San Antonio, which somehow looked like the younger team on one day's rest.
Tony Parker, playing with a bruised left calf, had 25 points and 10 assists. Kawhi Leonard (17 points), Danny Green (16 points), Tim Duncan (14 points, 11 rebounds) and Manu Ginobili (10 points) all scored in double figures, and the Spurs had a series-high 30 assists on 40 field goals and made 47.6 percent of their three-point attempts.
Curry missed his first three shots and didn't get one to fall until the 6:11 of mark of the first quarter, when his running layup gave the Warriors a 15-12 lead. The Spurs responded with a 15-0 run, which was capped by Ginobili's three-pointer and put them ahead 27-15, and never trailed again.
Barnes scored six straight points to get the Warriors within eight points with a little more than seven minutes to go, and Thompson's jumper made it 92-84 with 6:12 left. But the Spurs answered with a 10-0 run, including a dagger three-pointer from Ginobili, who made it 102-84 with 4:02 on the clock.
Asked what it would take to win two in a row and end the series in Game 6, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said, "Nobody talks about getting this thing over with, like you've got a rash and can take a pill or put some cream on it. This is more than a class team that busts its ass to do the little things on the floor, and it's not about getting rid of anything."
But with all of their ailments, the Warriors might need to look into some of those pills and creams.
Warriors vs. Spurs
Spurs lead series 3-2
Game 1: Spurs 129, Warriors 127, 2 OT
Game 2:
Warriors 100, Spurs 91
Game 3: Spurs 102, Warriors 92
Game 4: Warriors 97, Spurs 87, OT
Game 5: Spurs 109, Warriors 91
at Oakland, 7:30 p.m. ESPN/1050

Wednesday night's presidential debate between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was watched with great interest by millions of Americans, many of whom shared their instantaneous thoughts on Twitter.
Here is a small sample of tweets from the NFL community:
Don't know who I am voting for... Both have some really good points... Just really have to think what's best for America period!!- NickBarnett (@NickBarnett) October 3, 2012
Mitt Romney was very assertive and direct in the debate. I liked both of their poise..cuz i felt a lil tense watching. Lol- Lance Briggs (@55Berger) October 3, 2012
I tried to watch the debate objectively. I think Romney did well! However I feel he promotes ideas whereas Obama has solutions- Brendon Ayanbadejo (@brendon310) October 3, 2012
2012 presidential debate is pure reality TV lol who can talk themselves out of a whole the fastest wins... And crack a joke here and there- Malcolm Jenkins (@MalcolmJenkins) October 3, 2012
I would not want to be the President. I like my hair to stay black!! Become President and go gray! Lol- Michael Strahan (@michaelstrahan) October 3, 2012
I think Romney was over aggressive at times but definitely won the debate. However I think Obama will be re elected as president- Reggie Bush (@reggie_bush) October 3, 2012
Did Obama just say social security is structurally sound??? Yeah, so is the post office- Jay Feely (@jayfeely) October 3, 2012
Perhaps the funniest tweet for NFL fans came courtesy of Seattle Seahawks beat writer John Boyle:
Imagine how mad Obama and Romney are both going to be when they find out that Golden Tate is being named the winner of this debate.- John Boyle (@johnpboyle) October 3, 2012

Yet the report had a modicum of Jewish vision, speaking of the need to educate the youth in the Jewish tradition. One result was the emergence of the Sydney rabbinate as both a direct and an indirect offshoot of the German rabbinate. But first we must record the arrival in 1835 of the first "minister", Reverend (the title was a mere courtesy) Michael Rose. He had enough Hebrew to lead basic prayers, though he could neither preach nor teach, and the shipping records call him a dealer. He stayed in Australia from 1835 to 1838, when he moved on to Madras, India. Melbourne, with a congregation founded in 1841, fared better under the leadership of Asher Hymen Hart, a knowledgeable layman who even came with a Jewish library, though his books were destroyed in a fire. Like Michael Rose, Hart was reader rather than rabbi, but he clearly had more Hebraic competence than Rose. He was both president and spiritual leader of the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation. He made money in Australia and retired to London in 1854.
After Solomon Hirschell's death in 1842,[4] the new chief rabbi of London was a German
from Hanover,
Refresh Leo Glitter Accent Buckle Sandal UtnUSgREF6
, the first British chief rabbi to hold a university degree.[5] Hirschell had been colloquially known as "Doctor" but the title was imaginary: he had neither a university education nor much secular knowledge, and though born in London during the rabbinic incumbency of his father Hart Lyon (Hirschel Levin) , who was later rabbi of Berlin, Hirschell could hardly speak English, and when he preached it was generally in Yiddish.
One of Adler's early initiatives was a questionnaire, sent to congregations throughout the British Empire, followed by regulations to govern synagogue procedures. At the same time, even before creating Jews' College in 1855 as a day school and ministers' training college, Adler determined that ministers must be competent not only to officiate but to preach and be spiritual leaders. His philosophy would today be called modern orthodoxy; this policy set the tone for Judaism in all British countries, though today the communal religious spectrum is much broader.
Adler supported neither the radicalism of German reform nor Moses Sofer's ultra-orthodox rejection of modernity.[6] More diplomatic than his predecessor, he engaged in active polemics with the reform synagogue established in 1841 by dissenters who mostly emanated from the London Sephardi community.
He recommended to Australia another
Bandolino Edition M2GwrSi
, formerly of the Hambro' Synagogue in the City of London. Hoelzel might have become the Adler of Australian Jewry had he lasted. But he was an egotist, and he had a fragile relationship with his congregation in Hobart, Tasmania, and subsequently at the York Street Synagogue in Sydney.
It took Hobart and Sydney many years to get over the Hoelzel experience. Hobart never again had a minister who was a university graduate, not for ideological reasons but because the congregation dwindled and nearly died. Long afterwards they did briefly have a minister with a German background, Rev. George Ruben, but that was because it was a time of German refugee immigration and some of those who revived the congregation were themselves refugees from Germany.

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die weit verbreitete These, dass Deutschschweizer Kantone vor allem radikaldemokratische Merkmale aufweisen, während die lateinischen Kantone stärker liberal‐repräsentative Demokratieformen besitzen. Die empirische und mehrdimensionale Messung der Demokratiequalität in den Kantonen zeigt, dass die pauschale These der direktdemokratisch‐partizipatorischen Deutschschweizer Kantone auf der einen Seite und der repräsentativdemokratischen Stände der lateinischen Schweiz auf der anderen Seite der Komplexität der kantonalen Demokratien nicht gerecht wird. Als erklärungskräftige Alternative für die Positionen der Kantone auf den Achsen liberaler und radikaler Demokratien an der Schwelle des 21. Jahrhunderts erweist sich vielmehr die Stärke der liberalen und demokratischen Verfassungsbewegungen in den Kantonen Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts.

If you're interested in the more advanced migration operations, or want to be able to write your own, see the migration operations reference and the "how-to" on writing migrations .
You are encouraged to make migrations freely and not worry about how many you have; the migration code is optimized to deal with hundreds at a time without much slowdown. However, eventually you will want to move back from having several hundred migrations to just a few, and that's where squashing comes in.
Squashing is the act of reducing an existing set of many migrations down to one (or sometimes a few) migrations which still represent the same changes.
Django does this by taking all of your existing migrations, extracting their

"The 2012 Vice Presidential Debate" (KASA-
"Beauty and the Beast" (KWBQ-19 8 p.m.) The CW reboots the '80s urban fantasy series. Kristin Kreuk ("Smallville") replaces Linda Hamilton, and the beast is no longer a monster, but a super-hunky super-soldier with a scar.
"Little Shop of Gypsies" (TLC 8 p.m.) Gypsies aren't as popular as rednecks or the Amish when it comes to reality television, but they're easy enough to stereotype and will do in a pinch.
"The Greatest Event in Television History" (Cartoon Network 1 a.m.) I can't give you a lot of details, but I can tell you it features Adam Scott ("Parks and Recreation") and Jon Hamm ("Mad Men").
"Dog With a Blog" (Disney 10:40 p.m.) It's a live-action sitcom about a talking dog. Who writes his own blog. OK, I buy the talking part. But the blogging part?
American Horror House (Syfy 7 p.m.) Not to be confused with FX's "American Horror Story," which restarts this week—except, of course, that it probably is to be confused with "American Horror Story." Just take out Jessica Lange and substitute Morgan Fairchild. Same diff.
"The Walking Dead" (AMC 7 p.m.) AMC's zombie-riffic horror-drama returns with a prison-centric new season.
"Secrets of Secret Societies" (Discovery 8 p.m.) But if they're secret societies to begin with, wouldn't it just be "Average Everyday Facts About Secret Societies"? I mean, by definition, everything about them is secret.
"My Shopping Addiction" (Oxygen Midnight) Or "My Shameless Ticket to Reality Show Fame." Take your pick.
"Dear Dracula" (Cartoon Network 8 p.m.) Emilio Estevez and Ray Liotta star in this short movie about a kid who writes a fan letter to Dracula. Based on the comic book by Joshua Williamson.
"Emily Owens, M.D." (KWBQ-19 8 p.m.) Remember the joke show "Single Female Lawyer" on "Futurama"? Welcome to "Single Female Doctor."
"Tattoo Nightmares" (Spike 9 p.m.) Nope. You will totally never regret that sweet Sugar Ray tattoo you got in 1997.
"Underemployed" (MTV 11 p.m.) From the creator of "Dirty Sexy Money" comes this dramedy about today's twentysomethings—who are quite different from the twentysomethings MTV used to cater to. Or so I gather.
World Without End (Reelz 6 p.m.) If you dug the Ken Follett mini-series Pillars of the Earth, you'll probably like this medieval-minded follow-up.
"My Giant Face Tumor" (TLC 7 p.m.) Almost as enjoyable as "My Explosive Diarrhea."
"My Life is a Lifetime Movie" (Lifetime 8 p.m.) You've gotta give Lifetime some credit for snarky self-awareness with this confessional reality show.
"American Horror Story: Asylum" (FX 11 p.m.) If you missed the first twisted season of "American Horror Story," don't panic. This second season takes most of the same actors and casts them in different roles in a whole new story.

AJ McCarron Earns 2012 CFPA Quarterback Trophy
Tuscaloosa, Ala. – Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron earned the 2012 CFPA Quarterback Trophy, announced today by College Football Performance Awards.
McCarron, who led Alabama to back-to-back National Championships, set the school record for passing touchdowns in a season (30) and in a career (49). As Alabama's starting quarterback over the past two seasons, McCarron has compiled a 25-2 record with 46 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. During the 2011 and 2012 seasons, he completed the SEC's second-longest streak of 291 pass attempts without an interception.
In 14 games during the 2012 season, McCarron threw for 2,933 passing yards, including 30 touchdowns with only three interceptions. McCarron averaged 9.3 yards per attempt and also added one touchdown on the ground. In the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game, he completed 20-of-28 passes for 264 yards and four touchdowns.
McCarron was a second-team All-SEC selection and an Associated Press third-team All-American. McCarron is the fourth Alabama player to earn CFPA honors, following previous winners: Trent Richardson, Mark Barron, and Javier Arenas.
