Marijuana faces an uncertain future in northern Colorado communities
March 21, 2013
Just a few miles separate Windsor's quaint Main Street from Fort Collins' Old Town.
The two communities share lifestyles and affluence and often mirror each other across an interstate, bridged literally and figuratively by Colo. 392. The business leaders of Windsor may frequent the quaint shops in its neighbor to the west. The retired residents and fitness fanatics may flock to the Poudre River Trail, a gateway cutting across both communities before continuing east to the agricultural center of Greeley.
In many ways, the communities of Windsor and Fort Collins share more similarities than differences, although their residents clearly are aware of and proud of their separate identities. But when it comes to marijuana and its consumption and sale, made possible by Amendment 64, Windsor is following a path more closely aligned with Greeley, its neighbor to the east.
Windsor is taking steps to ban the marijuana industry within its borders, which Greeley is expected to do once state regulations are known. Fort Collins, however, is more open to the sale of pot.
As cities work to craft plans for how best to manage the new marijuana market, what's emerging is a patchwork of policy that is only expected to grow, potentially leading to confusion among residents and law enforcement while each community works to maintain its own identity.
The issue
Among a host of topics northern Colorado communities have tackled recently — from oil and gas to parching droughts — marijuana has emerged as one of the most controversial. The battles began the minute voters approved Amendment 20 in 2000, which allowed for medical marijuana to treat debilitating conditions and paved the way for pot shops around the state.
Windsor Mayor John Vazquez supported the measure and said he was in no position to deny people the chance to relieve pain. In light of the decision and subsequent discussions, he recalled the focus being on creating "constitutionally defendable policy" and striking a balance so people could coexist with the industry. That's when things came "unglued" and dispensaries raced in, setting up six shops in Windsor in one week, he recalled.
"It was more proliferated drug dealing," he said. "It hit Windsor like a firestorm."
When the Colorado Legislature passed House Bill 1284 and allowed for local control over licensing and banning medical marijuana, it was clear pot was not welcome in Windsor's town limits. After a series of special elections, the industry was virtually knocked down and out.
No stranger to the game, Fort Collins was in the midst of a citizen-initiated ordinance to ban its 23 medical marijuana dispensaries. That measure passed in 2011, but was overturned in 2012 by another citizen initiative coinciding with the statewide Amendment 64 decision, which partially legalized the recreational use of marijuana for adults 21 years or older.
Greeley previously took a more aggressive approach in banning the industry, though it is now waiting for state recommendations on how best to regulate the industry before considering a further ban. Garden City, a tiny community nestled on the southeast outskirts of Greeley, remains in its own world where medical marijuana shops are allowed and city officials signal potential acceptance of the culture — a growing rarity in the region.
As communities and counties enter uncharted waters, some are jumping to get in front of the matter before any semblance of the industry can take root. It's why Weld County commissioners acted in January to bar marijuana shops and growing the crop in its unincorporated areas. Larimer County commissioners continue to eye a similar measure.
And it's why the Windsor Town Board has remained steadfast in its mission to uphold the community's desire, which they say is clear from past votes and resident feedback.
"Why is our community so passionate about it? I can only think that it goes back to core values, family values, quality of life and just the general image," Vazquez said. As for marijuana itself, he added, "It already exists — we all know it does. Sixty-four just brings it out of the shadows and into the light."
Pre-emptive planning or jumping the gun?
With a clear desire to be among the communities on the forefront, Windsor is expected to vote on second reading April 8 to ban large-scale growing operations, pot stores and private clubs within the community. Other areas have eyed similar legislation and many counties have already acted with similar laws, which some say is premature and unnecessary.
Cities have until Oct. 1 to decide whether they want to be a part of the retail side of marijuana, and there's still a long way to go. The Amendment 64 Task Force last week unveiled its final report describing in detail just how pot and the state could work together. Among the painstaking details included were everything from the proposed consequences for juvenile possession, taxing structures and even details about signage restrictions for the state-licensed retail facilities. The Legislature is expected to work out the final details and adopt new laws by the end of its spring legislative session — May 8.
Kevin Bommer, deputy director of the Colorado Municipal League, has helped lead the task force's numerous working groups. He said the patchwork of pot laws across Colorado is not surprising, mirroring in many ways what the state saw regarding medical marijuana. Regardless, he hinted that communities and residents could stand to learn plenty as the state works out final details.
"I think there will be a lot of variation among municipalities," Bommer said. "I can't chalk that up to anything more than each community — each municipality — is unique. People are attracted to living places for certain reasons and move away for other reasons. Over time, a town or city develops a character."
The matter, he said, bears a similar resemblance to the old days of the liquor code, which often saw a patchwork of laws. Greeley and parts of Fort Collins were dry communities, but people knew where they could go to get their booze.
"It's a marathon, not a sprint," Bommer said of groups acting pre-emptively, adding that it will feel like a sprint on the state level because of a barrage of high profile bills moving simultaneously.
The implementation and enforcement matter was not especially concerning for Weld District Attorney Ken Buck, who was outspoken against marijuana leading up to November's election. He stressed that much of the talk regarding marijuana implementation stems from licensing — something that can be clearly monitored or enforced on a city-by-city level. The private use of marijuana cannot be infringed on under the amendment.
"My primary concern is what happens within the borders of Weld County," he said. "I think the beauty of Colorado and the West is that we have local control about the issues."
As new laws begin to take effect, he said education would be the key to enforcement, but each community's identity will almost certainly be upheld.
"I think that it is a positive that we are diverse in our views and yet people can find a community that is welcome to them, no matter what their views are."
Today's politics, rooted in
yesterday's beliefs
Though divergent on cannabis laws, virtually all of the region was united years ago in one common pursuit — agriculture.
Farm fields still outnumber the paved highways in Weld and Larimer counties. But as the population in the area soared and Interstate 25 paved the way for growth in Fort Collins, subtle changes wedged their way into the area. Fort Collins, nestled in the foothills, saw a certain surge in the mountain and artistic crowds, led partly by the community's university atmosphere. Greeley has remained rooted in agriculture and it has become a farming powerhouse.
John Straayer, a political science professor at Colorado State University, said the shift in lifestyle shows itself in political positions as well, with Fort Collins being a more liberal community politically, while Weld County and Greeley are significantly more conservative.
And caught in the middle is Windsor, what Straayer described as a "blend" of ranching lifestyles with residential affluence and expansion. Issues such as marijuana, he said, can bring the discussion full circle and highlight just how different areas truly can be.
"It's one thing to have a relaxed attitude toward pot legalization, but another to see a pot-stop open near one's home, business or school," Straayer said. "It may be analogous to locating a landfill or drilling rig. We all think it is OK, even a good idea, so long as it remains distant from us."
An uncertain future
Five years ago, it was virtually impossible to imagine a world in which recreational consumption of marijuana was legal. In fact, a measure that would have legalized it for adults was shot down. Now, however, barring any action from the federal government to prevent it, pot shops will begin to pop up in some communities, perhaps within a year. In the future, as the boundaries of the growing communities of Windsor, Fort Collins, Greeley and Loveland come together in the future, decisions about how to regulate marijuana will only become more complex.
"It's changing times and changing directions," Fort Collins Mayor Karen Weitkunat said, adding that it's a part of life and the future will always be unpredictable. Regardless, what emerges out of the changing policies on marijuana won't be confined to just one city or one county.
"We share the same people," she said. "We will define northern Colorado, and I think we'll do it as a team."
Greeley, which previously banned medical marijuana from the city, is taking a wait-and-see approach. City council has largely been absent from the discussions and has opted instead to wait for guidance from the Colorado Municipal League. Mayor Tom Norton stressed that the council is going to respect the Oct. 1 deadline and the council is expected to take up the matter this summer.
While it's anyone's guess what the future holds for recreational weed in conservative farming communities, posh business districts or liberal college towns, it is possible Windsor could one day see shops open in town as moods and mores change.
"Could it happen?" Vazquez asked. "Absolutely. Would it shock me? Not in the least."

Customer Reviews
Comments: Baits look awesome but i cant catch anything on them. Extremely high quality & look great but i have no success with them on my home lakes. 5/10 for quality not effectiveness.
From: Lucien: CA 1/8/16
Comments: This bait gets bit. Period. I will always have this bait in my arsenal. I rig it on a weedless hook and have had no issues with missed fish. In the stained water I fish the ghost, golden shiner and emerald shiner do very well, however all of them will produce. This is my number one go to bait.
From: Chuck: North Bergen, NJ 9/23/14
Comments: Phenomenal! Long distance casting, incredible action, eyes are embedded so don't come off, holographic flash is very real looking. Jerk baits have always been my confidence bait, and this is the best I've ever fished.
From: Ron: Geneva, IL 6/3/14
Comments: AWESOME baits. Tough but flexible plastic that takes a ton of abuse as well as great looks and action. They add another layer of plastic over the eyes so they almost never come off. The flash of the inner ribbon is really incredible too, I can see it from a great distance while I'm jerking it and have had great results so far! The sassy shad is probably the nicest plastic jerkbait I've ever used and I've used a lot! I'll never not have them in my tackle box!
From: Matt: WMass
Comments: The Dace is a awesome bait for bed fishing or just as a jerk-bait it is a go to for hard to catch fish . Yes they smell like a paint room but they work great .
From: Kevin: KY
Comments: I'm not too sure what this bait is supposed to smell like but it smells like metal and just don't like the small version because its for crappie size not lunker size
gonna keep trying though also not sure what drop shot size to use
From: Brian: lake forest, ca
Comments: Good Lookin bait but they smell extremely like dissolvent! The converting is a little bit sloppy. Eyes are not in the same spot, tail is bent and the coat isn't that nice. If i compare the bait with the Flash J, the lunkerhung bait gets 3/10 and the Flash J 10/10 The colours are very sexy. The bait will catch fish, no question but i really love details and thats what i'm missing here
From: D: Germany
Comments: Bought a few packs and getting more. Used 4.5 inch Dace by drop shot and as a twitch/soft jerkbait. Caught good fish. No problems with action or durability.
From: Mike: CA
Comments: Review:Dace is hands down my one of my most productive drop shot baits! dace 4.5
From: Louis: Green Bay
Comments: Fished the Bento weedless and on a drop shot. Did not have any issues with hook ups. Caught a mixed bag using Dace and Sassy in the 4.5 inch size. My trick for good hook ups is to use a hook with a wide enough gap for a good hookset. Drop shot technique uses an exposed hook so hookups should not be a problem. Maybe your hooks are too small. Could also be rod stiffness or your line. I use a braid main line with a fluoro leader to add back bone and help with hook ups. Caught a bunch of fish on the Bento to date. Biggest so far is a largie just shy of 5# caught drop shoting a drop off. Most realistic soft plastic I have seen or fished with. I'd recommend it.
From: Danny: Gilbertsville, KY
Comments: Almost a copy of Japan brand O.S.P Mylaminnow. which released long time ago.
From: Johnson
Comments: Cody said it best, rig it like the pack says and its fish on.
From: Dan: Tillery, NC
Comments: on the back of the package it says the minnow is meant to be rigged on drop shot or on a jig... not a weedless hook
From: Cody: Oneida Lake, NY
Comments: Good looking bait and draws strikes but it's a little hard to set the hook with because its a very tough body. But as far as realistic and action, it can't be beat!
From: Tanner: Greenville, NC
Comments: You have to try this Bento bait out. I used the 4.5 Dace color last weekend in a tournament and it was the reason we won. Hooked it on a drop shot rig and it was awesome. The smallmouth could not resist the action and how real it looks. My first fish on it was a 5.3lb smallie. The bait stood up well to all the action. Great job Lunkerhunt!
From: Mike: Binbrook, Ontario, Canada
Comments: I have bought tons of items form TW and have yet to submit a review on a product. After purchasing this product and fishing a tournament over the weekend I felt compelled to inform on the Bento Minnow. I bought the 4.5" Dace. What an awesome looking bait in and out of the water. I threw it with a 3.0 Trokar hook and a small split weight attached to the nose. I had tons of fish come up and hit it. I missed way more fish than I caught. After a 5# Black hit and the next cast a 3# Smallie hit it the bait was ruined. The eyes were knocked off it but remained inside the body. The body is very tough and durable. I actually think it is too tough. I credit its toughness to the reason I missed so many fish. I could not get the hook set before they would let the bait go. I switched to a Zoom Fluke and the next bite I put a fish in the boat. These baits look awesome and will make the fish attack them. In my opinion they are too tough and no soft enough for these Oklahoma bass. Best of luck to Lunkerhunt Bento Minnow, but until they make some adjustments I will pass on them in the future.
From: Curt: Sulphur, OK

Skip to comments.Mayor Bloomberg to Kids: Learn to Speak Grammar or You Wont Succeed
Posted on 06/08/2013 6:25:55 PM PDT by NotYourAverageDhimmi
Mayor Michael Bloombergwho previously suggested so-so students skip college to become plumbersdished out some more advice to young people Friday morning during his weekly radio show.
Mr. Bloomberg, whose own syntax has sometimes been the butt of jokes, warned kids to pay attention to their grammar lessons or risk losing opportunities later in life.
Kids have to learn to speak grammar, said the mayor, in response to a caller who suggested kids werent being taught the subject in schools.
If you dont speak good grammarEnglish with good grammaryoure not gonna get the kind of jobs that you want, said the mayor. You can make an argument that it shouldnt be the case, its not fair, whatever, [but] people judge each other by how well-spoken they are. And if theres a lot of jargon, and if you cantdouble negatives and things like thatthey hurt your career prospects.
Thats one of the reasons, he argued, its so important to have good schools. It is an English-speaking country and, like in My Fair Lady, we do judge each other based on how well we speak.
Host John Gambling said he hoped that message was getting through to young people.
People think its cute to jive. And it may be for entertainment, but you just still have to have a command of the English language, concluded Mr. Bloomberg, who admitted he was never good at the subject at school.
I could never figure out a dangling participle, he joked.
I ain't got no use for no inglush books.
However, you could become mayor of NYC. Apparently, proper grammar is no prerequisite.
Bloomberg is one of my least favorite humans, but he is right on this.
Bloomberg is a neo-Nazi traitor. When it comes time to hang traitors, I guarantee you that Bloomberg the Nazi will be begging for his worthless life.
Sounds racist to me.
Bloomberg may be a totalitarian, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest that BloomBERG is not a Nazi.
I think he's wrong.
I'd be having my children learn Chinese.
Kids have to learn to speak grammar."
Umm... That word is "grammatically". I'll let the use of the word which means "baby goats" when he should have used "children" slide.
...but at least using proper grammar.
Larn yur grammar gudly or you could grow up to be a leftist tyrant busybody!
If Weiner wins the mayoral race, can we call him a dangling participle?
Rectum, hell, damn near killed him!
For example this.>>> which I see almost everyday in the news about NYC....
Judy Holiday in "Born Yesterday" reminded of I am.
What an Idiot.
When we listed an ad for a position in our Hollywood company, we got hundreds of applications. Unfortunately, 80% of it was 'text' language and most of these grads do not have a professional command of the English language. It pissed us off to no extent.
The good part was that we discovered a few gems from applicants from small schools in middle America I've never even heard of.
None at all?
Re bicyclist dead:
one less.
Compared to some other big city mayors, Bloomberg is an English scholar... faint praise, I understand.
But the man does have a good point. I run into far to many young people today with very limited communication skills. I'm an old guy I admit, but poor grammar was simply not acceptable when I was in school. Back in the neighborhood, you could revert to the local norm if necessary, but in school, only standard American English was acceptable. We all learned it and prospered.
To become mayor of NYC you have to have a command of the English language or, alternatively, you can have made billions of dollars. In the latter case, you don't gotta speak no good English.
"Grammar"? That's the lady married to Granpar.
Bloomin'berg is the Mayor of syntax .... "syns" like soft drinks that are too large, etc.
Mix the usage of good and well? $1000 fine.
Use texting shorthand? Get a short term in prison.
Dare to split infinitives? The police are authorized to split your head open with their batons.
And if you don't get the gender of pronouns used for transsexuals correct... well, you don't even want to think of what Burgermeister Meisterbloomberg will do to you.
Yeah, learn to say "Seig HEIL BloombergerFuherer"!!!
NEIN guns!!!! Nein large sodas!!! NEIN formula milk!!!!
NEIN salt in the French Fries!!!
This pipsqueak clown is living proof that somebody with a big ego and an maniacal mind can make it big in America.
You can call him anything you like. He has no shame.
But his wife- she's the one you need to worry about
Bloomberg may be a totalitarian, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest that BloomBERG is not a Nazi.
So? He's a collaborator. There are always collaborators.
Only problem was the truck didn't see him and you know the rest. It's amazing how much the human body twitches after it's dead. And this was right by Elmhurst hospital in which someone suggested I take what was left of him in my taxi to the emergency room. When I inquired by what method we should retrieve his brains the subject was dropped.
And the thing is, this happens every-single-day under Bloomberg
Even happened to one of his pals Alan Dershowitz. You think that would end his fanatical promo of bicycles? Hellllll no! It's soda and smoking and eating trans-fats which is the killers not riding a bike in between multi-ton hunks of metal going 60 mph.
Look at this: He rips the DA but not Bloomberg. Now *that* is some major ass kissing.
Alan Dershowitz rips Manhattan DA over sister-in-law's bike death: They're stonewalling us!
Sounds like the Bloomin'Idiot could use some remedial work himself.
"Speak Grammar?"
I assume he meant "Speak Gramatically."
* Win The Future.
We speak ENGLIH ... not grammer.
We speak ENGLISH ... not grammer
What a nerve then, to complain about improper grammar use by NYers. They don't even speak ENGLISH, fool!
My family has a scholarship that goes out every year. We require applicants to submit an essay. Good command of the English language -> free money.
Thank you for contributing your first hand experience, fellow NYer.
"If you dont speak good grammarEnglish with good grammaryoure not gonna get the kind of jobs that you want. You can make an argument that it shouldnt be the case, its not fair, whatever, [but] people judge each other by how well-spoken they are. And if theres a lot of jargon, and if you cantdouble negatives and things like thatthey hurt your career prospects.Damn, he's articulate.
My grammar could speak english and polish.
There is an (I) behind his name, not an (R.)
Y'think that will stop 'em?
I don't give a rat's rear end if it does or doesn't - it just needs to be said - and I wish FReepers would remember he was a life long D and only went with the R because even he knew he couldn't buy his way through the D primary that year, so he bought the R slot on the ballot.
Don't forget, 9/11/0 was primary day in NYC - Guilaini stopped it and they changed the date, so Bloomin'idiot had enough time to buy enough face time supporting Rudy to win in November.
Good for you. When I took one year at BCIT, I didn't apply for a student loan. I took odd jobs such as pizza driver dude for one of the pizza stores on Commercial, driver for Madame Cleo's..umm, forget I said that.
Not really anything to do with me - my mom wanted to do something for my father. So, we decided he would love a memorial scholarship.
Hehe, I did the same when I worked. Treeplanting was the best though! I made 150 dollars a day, for about 2.5 months planting. We had 70 days of work, so I actually made money in first year.
Pizza delivery was ok. Much easier, but I only made about 100 bucks a day. Working the entire summer got me about 8500 bucks, so I was bleeding about 1.5k a year for school :(
Made enough to pay for 3 years in 3 years, but after that I was out of money. Took me a long time to save up enough to finish off the degree. Took 3 years of saving to finish up that last year. :(

I will mainly be making pizzas in it. I am sure I might do other stuff but mainly pizzas. I would like to stay around the $2000 range if possible. I want a quality product that can stand up in my Kansas City, Missouri weather of hot and cold months. I am not handy either so assembled would be nice. Thank you.

I am considering doing this same thing. Well depth is 250 feet. One suggestion was to draw from different depths. Any other concerns?

Catalogue Number: R54-UC5A
- Author: Eleanor Catton
- Format:Hardback
- Publisher:Granta Books
- Published:01 August 2013
Sorry, there are currently no sellers for this product.
Product description
- Total Pages: 848
- Genre: Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)
It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky.The Luminaries is an extraordinary piece of fiction. It is full of narrative, linguistic and psychological pleasures, and has a fiendishly clever and original structuring device. Written in pitch-perfect historical register, richly evoking a mid-19th century world of shipping and banking and goldrush boom and bust, it is also a ghost story, and a gripping mystery. It is a thrilling achievement and will confirm for critics and readers that Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international writing firmament.
Author's Biography

Elastic Straps
"The straps are elastic so the shoes flop off of your feet when walking. It was extremely hard to walk in them because of the elastic straps. I gave them away. Cute shoes, bad concept."

Not My Favorite.....
"I didn't love this shoe...partly may have been my fault. At first glance, at least to me, these looked like a sequence shoe. The picture played a trick on my eyes I guess. I wasn't impressed when I received this shoe. The straps are basically a stretchy band. They are comfortable but feel too loose because the entire shoe is stretchy. I plan on returning these."

A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised. The farm tractor is used for pulling or pushing agricultural machinery or trailers, for plowing, tilling, disking, harrowing, planting, and similar tasks.

Anyone read this manga? For the people who don't know the difference between the manga and anime, here are some of them. Spoiler warning.
The FMA anime, half way through, is where they completely change from the manga, pretty much, but before that just subtle differences, and the order of events happening. The anime has different homunculus than the manga. The homonculus are like this..
Greed=that same devils nest, ultimate shield. They both die in anime and manga, but in manga a new greed is born, some prince from Xing comes and turns into the new greed.
Lust=the same as manga one, but she dies in the manga and I think she dies in anime too, cant remember.
Pride = in the anime Pride is the fuhrer, king bradley. in the manga, Pride is the original homonculus, King Bradley's son, the little kid. He's freaky.
Envy = the same in both
Gluttony = the same in both
Wrath = in the anime, wrath is al and ed's teacher's son. In the manga, wrath is king bradley.
Sloth = in the anime, sloth is ed and al's mom. in the manga, sloth is some mysterious, HUGE homonculous, really fat and large and strong.
The manga is still going, the anime is over. IMO the manga is much better, and it's still going in the monthly shonen jump.

ACK ok ive been uploading manga on my YT channel for last few weeks and im sick of the fight continuing forever now ... Sasuke will get outta there ... cause hes pretty fast. Deidara in my opinion will DIE > and i think hes the next Charles Manson... good luck Sasuke
anyone think that the unnamed guy who was bossing pein(sp) around could be uchiha madara? maybe he's the real leader behind akasuki
Last edited by pranabowjake; 07-20-2007 at 08:23 PM. Reason: guess it's madara not marada.
My prediction is pretty general and I'm pretty sure I'm right too. Deiadara dies, Tobi survives, and so does Sasuke. How I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure the parts I have predicted are right.
Here's the full 363 raw, High quality with translated script
P.S It's not my work, I just found it while browsing around.
** EDIT: Uh you need to scroll down for the Raw Images, then the translation is right at the bottom ^_^
Finally found the ENGLISH scan!!!!!! Reading it right now!!!!!!
it looks sasuke used manda in order to protect himself, but i looks like manda is dying
hm..i think that sasuke will use either his genjutsu or his chidori to finish off deidara

Vulcan Catalytic Infrared Oven Systems' energy-efficient powder coating ovens operate using the principles of gas catalytic infrared heating. They can convert 85 percent of the Btu content of the gas into Infrared energy to effectively gel or cure powder-coated parts, the company says. As a result, curing in a gas catalytic infrared oven can take less time than a gas fired convection oven, and reduce energy consumption and oven contamination issues. The flameless nature of the system also eliminates noxious emissions such as nitric oxide or nitrogen dioxide.

Lol ok the pink smoke was kinda stupid but who cares man the hotest bitch is in da house!! Anw i agree with the voice part shd have changed it to make it more adult...actually if u listen carefully there is a much more significant change when she talks at the end of the episode as compared to when she 1st reverted. Her voice when she 1st reverted was kinda...seasame street
Yes I agree 2, the only thing that was changed about Nel's voice was that she doesn't have that weird accent, but the voice was just as child-like as from before her transformation, kinda weird. As for in the pink cloud, wtf Majin Buu in da house or somethin?
Nel voice as adult was totally wrong.
Avatar and Signature by Ravona
Nel, voice was cute.......ha,lol. But, I'm telling everyone here, that the new opening for bleach is best compared to all the openings for this season of animes.
Bleach is progressing nicely with favorable story and all
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I'M FROM TAKE A LOOK HERE MY FRIEND:Spoiler!
Enjoyable episode. The opening and ending are very nice. I loved the place where Nel hit Nnoitora to the face and made this little yell of hers. Her voice itself was a surprise. If this is her real voice then Kubo probably asked it for himself. When Nel fights she is a serious kickass woman, but this voice might symbolize her a bit childish personality on other times. Afterall, her Fraccion are not very serious guys either. And Espadas chooses their Fraccion themselves.

Skip to comments.Santorum "homophobic," former Senator says
Posted on 02/22/2012 8:33:10 AM PST by writer33
(CBS News) Former Senator Alan Simpson had some choice words for his one time colleague, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
"I know Santorum, I served with him," he said. "He is rigid and a homophobic. He believes that gays and lesbians, he mentioned in an interview in 2003, about bestiality, and gays and lesbians. I think that's disgusting," said Simpson.
The former three-term Senator from Wyoming has always been known for both his candor and his ability to work across party lines, said Republicans are hurting themselves by focusing on social issues.
"Here's a party that believes in government out of your life, the precious right of privacy and the right to be left alone. How then can they be the hypocrisy of fiddling around in these social issues? We won't have a prayer," he told Bob Schieffer in an interview for CBS News's Face to Face, a weekly web interview from the staff of Face the Nation.
(Excerpt) Read more at cbsnews.com ...
If Alan Simpson doesn't like Santorum, that's another feather in his cap.
Yeah, after all Alan Simpson sure knows how to win elections. His best RINO buddy Bob Dole did so well in 1996
"Video at link as well. And I wouldn't be surprised if this comes up at the CNN debate."
Why is there another CNN debate? The RNC is run by a bunch of morons. Stop going on the enemy's air and letting the enemy frame the debate and the message!! Tell them to ESAD!!!
RE: Santorum "homophobic," former Senator says
Santorum said PUBLICLY that he has nothing against homosexuals, however he believes that homosexual ACTS are wrong and sinful.
How is that homophobic?
That is the view of ALL Christians who take the Bible seriously.
It seems to be to Alan Simpson, one has to APPROVE and CELEBRATE same gender sex in order NOT to be called homophobic.
Is that the societal definition now?
From what I've seen, Simpson had appeared to be suffering from senility for several years. I used to like him but he's become a "useful idiot" for the political rulingelite in our country.
If Alan Simpson doesnt like Santorum..."
...absolutely! Simpson is an evil little cuss.
"The former three-term Senator from Wyoming has always been known for both his candor and his ability to work across party lines,"
Well c-BS...almost no one here knows that except for you liberal media clowns. Looks like the MSM is cranking up their target for Santorum now that their original one in Romney is almost done for.
A freudian slip or what?
Just more proof that the RINOs don't like Conservatives. They come out of the closet to attack Newt and Rick.
It looks like this guy Alan Simpson is the new Barry Goldwater - - the senile old Republican Senator the scumbag Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms run to when they want a funny quote to bash Republicans with.
Scheiffer sought out Simpson (of the infamous Simpson-Mazzoli Act) exactly for this reason, to get cute little quips vs. Santorum. He wouldn't have sought an interview with a former Santorum colleague who might say something nice about him. Some of these old timers really should just exit stage right.
I am getting more than sick of these Republicans who snipe at Santorum and Gingrich. Let them put their effort into attacking Obama, then we should listen.
Antoninus, that's so 18th Century of you. LOL!
Let me cut to the chase. Romney: you are NOT getting this nomination buddy. And if somehow you do we will not vote for you in the general. You SCUM.
Alan Simpson has for years been uneasy over the fact that his father, Milward L. Simpson, a true conservative, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Perhaps Mr Simpson doesn't believe anyone should have opinions that differ from those of the enlightened elite.
On the other hand, maybe he's just a brain addled old RINO crank.
Personally, I hate their guts, especially the ones who rub their feces in your face, although I understand the Biblical imperative to 'love the sinner, hate their sins' in the sense that 'love' means pray for them to be converted and saved.
Alan Simpson has for years been uneasy over the fact that his father, Milward L. Simpson, a true conservative, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Santorum's comments about gay marriage were right on. Once you accept the idea that the definition of marriage is no longer between one man and one woman, it is a slippery slope to polygamy, marriage to animals, etc. Jerks like Simpson want to use labels to denigrate people who speak the truth. It is easier to employ personal attacks than address the substance of the statements.
"He believes that gays and lesbians, he mentioned in an interview in 2003, about bestiality, and gays and lesbians."
Wonderful syntax from a former senator. Let me try: "Alan Simpson...something about nazis...the KKK like him...what a boob."
Drudge/Simpson/Rove/ etc etc -— The long knives of the GOP-e/Romney smear machine are working overtime on Santorum this week. You would almost think they are in a panic over something.
Liberal media tactic #43: Pull out old RINO to criticize Republican.
Bob Scheiffer never had on a conservative retired Democrat to criticize Obama on social issues, like when he claimed his faith called for higher taxes.
Yes, sir. Tonight at 8 p.m. EST from Mesa, AZ.
I'll never forget Alan Simpson defending abortion because we don't want 'Cyclopian' children running around. He is a disgusting, ugly person.
RE: especially the ones who rub their feces in your face,
I hear you. I see it almost everyday on TV, even in a supposedly teen-friendly prime time show like GLEE.
Well, what to say...
A long time ago, Gay love used to be called "The love that dares not speak its name".
Today, it's the love that just won't shut the F up !!
The more they attack Santorum on satan, Homos, etc etc the more popular he becomes. Liking him more and more everyday!
Someone is in the wrong party. I don't believe the right to privacy is in the constitution. If Simpson does and the party he claims to be a member of does, then one of us is in the wrong party.
Still sniffing around for another gig eh Al?
Simpson is a RINO tool who doesn't like conservatives. But he'd have lots of nice things to say about Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd or any other liberal senator.
1st question today in debate from John King will be:
"senator Santorum, do you hate gays & lesbians?"
2nd question:
"senator Santorum do propose to ban contraceptives"?
My question...why do the republicans accept debate forums
such as CNN?
Simpson isn't making sense. I think THAT'S disgusting.
It's not hard to be racist, sexist, homophobic or Islamophobic in 2012.
All you have to do is disagree with any of those people.
My answer...I don't know. I know they like the debates, but it doesn't have to be on CNN.
"Republicans are hurting themselves by focusing on social issues"
I agree. When politicians start talking about family values et. al., it's usually either because they're avoiding real issues or because nothing's pressing. As there's no way we live in unpressing times, we're avoiding. Everybody knows Republicans are against abortion and homosxual marriage and think Western Civilization has been crumbling (or at least sliding); move on, already.
Two points, though. One is that Democrats and their willing accomplices will force "social issues" to the forefront whether or not Republicans willingly follow. For it is in their interest, as they see it, to paint us as neanderthals "turning back the clock" to anti-sodomy laws and backalley abortions. Another is that since, apart from Romneycare, there's no substantive policy distinction between Santorum and Romney, Santy's gotta grab the Christian Soldier mantle.
I don't know if it's so much that Santorum wants to be the social conservative alternative, or that he's stumbling into liberal traps like answering honestly about Griswold v. Connecticut. Either way, it's all a distraction.
I used to like him, but Simpson showed he lost it completely with the clusterbleep budget commission.
Simpson is Rickophobic!
Actually it sees to me that he isn't the one stumbling into a trap so much as those who have suddenly decided to take the leftist position of silencing Christianity.
Exactly! How can these hypocrites say, "Get the government out of our bedrooms" yet want the taxpayer to sanction their immorality? How can the public "stay out of their bedrooms" when they insist on taking us there?!
Typical retort by the twisted logic of a pervert. Is this like the child who becomes "homophobic" after he was molested by a Mr. Sandusky or the woman who is raped and crusades against the practice? Clearly, with the exceptions cited, fear is not the issue with normal people; the word is disgust with deviant behavior whether it pertains to same-sex relations with children, animals, or the dead. This sickness grows more bold in demanding that others, not just accept, but exalt said behavior as normal. If there is any concern with public health, then let it be understood that male homosexuals are the #1 vector for the spread of infectious diseases among humans and are an unnecessary public health threat costing the system billions. Male homosexuals have the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS, syphilis, drug-resistant gonorrhea, entamoeba histolytica, chlamydia, herpes simplex II, Chancroid, Drug Resistant TB, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis non A & B, just to name a few.
"2nd question:
'senator Santorum do propose to ban contraceptives'"
That question is far too direct. The preferred form is one that's already been asked (at debate #987589.07785, part 2, I believe), i.e. "Do you you think the majority decided correctly in Griswold?" If you answer no, it means not only do you favor outlawing contraceptives, but you have been actively pushing for a ban on the federal level. That's how the game is played.
Agree. I always let him slide because he was very funny and entertaining. He's a nut job and no Conservative.
National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform
OH no. It is much more important to call a fellow Republican homophobic and totally ignore the DOTUS.
DOTUS = Dictator of the United States or Dickhead of the United States.
He caught the Barry Goldwater disease.
wow.. the more I hear about Santorum the more I like him :)
homophobes of the world unite!

Successful Process Communications Best Kept Secret
Sure, the process engineer is proud of his HMI (human machine interface) and the operations manager is pleased with his KPI (key performance indicators) dashboard and how effectively the system is running with the implementation of his new MES/MIS solution.

Measurement of Oxygen Concentration in Blanketing and Inerting Operations
Gaseous oxygen measurement with amperometric sensors is the most direct and easiest solution for oxidation and explosion protection.
Unwelcome oxygen Tank blanketing is the process of filling the headspace in storage vessels and reactors with an inert gas to prevent its contents from exploding, degrading or polymerizing and to protect equipment from corrosion. A blanketing system is normally designed such that it operates under higher than atmospheric pressures, therefore preventing outside air from entering the vessel. As oxygen and moisture in the air can be undesired in numerous processes and applications, blanketing is done in a wide range of industries, varying from (petro)chemical to food and beverage, pharmaceutical to pure water.01/06/2010
Inerting and Blanketing: New Cost-efficient Solution with Polarographic Sensors
In this white paper, we review the new possibilities offered by measurement systems based on polarographic technology. Unlike other systems, polarographic sensors are built directly into the process gas stream, eliminating the need for cumbersome gas sampling and conditioning systems. Further, polarographic sensors require very little maintenance.10/12/2010

Gharpetian, a 1991 graduate, says that she always wanted to be more involved with the campus, but with finishing her education, beginning her practice and then starting a family, she just didn't have time. "One day I saw a FaceBook post for [alumni] board members," she said. "My kids are a little bit older now; my life is more stable, so I have the opportunity to give back to the community. That's also the main reason I decided to run for the school board. It was the right time to step up and get involved."
She shares a spacious office with her husband Vartan, a real estate agent. She has a boutique practice specializing in Invisalign invisible braces, and the flexibility of this working arrangement affords her the opportunity to be directly involved in the day-to-day workings of Glendale Unified. "Statistically, schools that have more parental involvement do much better than schools that do not, so our challenge as a district is to find more ways to get parents to volunteer. This is very critical because with budget shortfalls, schools cannot afford to cover every program," says Gharpetian. "I started volunteering one day a week when my oldest started kindergarten. Now my littlest is in first grade, so we have another 11 years left. This is what got me into it – it takes a while for an individual to be ready [for district service], it takes time to learn about various boards and policies and how things work. I am the only one of the five board members who currently has kids in K-12, and that's also a challenge for our board. Issues are different now and things are changing really fast. We're doing our best to keep class sizes low and keep our educational enrichment programs going."
Gharpetian says of her time at Glendale, "I'm so proud of it! GCC paved my road to go to UCLA and then dental school; I absolutely recommend it." Her twin sister, now an optometrist, was also a GCC alumna. "GCC is something that belongs to the whole community. We have a gem here on North Verdugo Road. I recommend it to all my friends whose kids are graduating from high school – it's small and community-oriented and financially feasible. Take advantage of it. It's like a second home."
Gharpetian encourages alumni, particularly the newly graduated, to make visits and attend events. "So many successful individuals have come through GCC. Alumni networking is just the best way of getting people together and growing the team." How to do that? "A lot of my friends and family members went to GCC – I'm going to take them one by one and get them involved," she says with a laugh.

Billie Louise Carrbello
Billie Louise Carrbello, was born Feb. 14, 1928, to Minnie and Clarence Patterson in Potash, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her parents, and is survived by her husband Peter R. Carrbello and numerous cousins.
Billie's parents had moved temporarily to Idaho in search of work, where her father found employment in the lumber mills. The family later returned to Pleasant View, Colo. At the age of 14, Billie attended university in Boston, Massachusetts where she studied music. Upon graduation she moved to Grand Junction and in 1949 met her husband, Peter. They were married on June 25, 1950.
On August 5, 1950, at an international convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in New York, N.Y. Billie was baptized in symbol of her dedication to our creator, Jehovah. Billie had a love for teaching, and rather than accepting a teaching position in the schools of Grand Junction, Billie chose to join her husband in the full time teaching and preaching of Bible truths to others. They moved to Eugene, Ore., and while there, they were requested to move to Grant's Pass, Ore., to assist congregations in the area. In 1953 they were invited to attend the twenty-third class of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead. After more than 5 months of intense study, they graduated in Toronto, Canada, along with 114 others. This was the first class to graduate outside the U.S. During the graduation ceremony, the happy lot of missionaries was emphasized, for they are "taking the lead in showing men how to love." For this, Billie and Peter became dearly loved by all who came to know them. After graduation they received a short training assignment covering the entire state of West Virginia. Several months later they were assigned along with thirteen others of their graduation class to Brazil in the city of Sao Palo. The assignment was challenging as they learned the Portuguese language and adjusted to their new surroundings. Over the next twenty-five years they received numerous assignments in various parts of the country, spending approximately four years in each assignment.
In 1980 Billie and Peter returned to the United States to care for their aged and ailing parents. Because both had become so dearly loved by so many in Brazil, a large part of their heart remained there. They cared first for Peter's mother in California. It was during this time that they helped establish two Portuguese congregations. Later they moved to Florida to care for Billie's father, all during this time they continued their efforts to teach others about Jehovah. For sixty-four years Billie and Peter engaged fulltime in the ministry. Billie was happiest when with her husband Peter walking door-to-door talking to others about the God whom they had come to love and rely upon, Jehovah. Billie's heart was tied up with helping and teaching others, for this she will always be remembered by those who knew her, and most especially by her God, Jehovah. Revelation 14: 6-7.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Feb. 15, 2014 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses 1304 E. Empire.

The Southern California band, which plays Coachella this weekend, traces its start to the festival.
This weekend, The Neighbourhood plays its second sets at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. It's an appropriate place for the dark-pop band's biggest shows to date. "Coachella was kind of the reason we came about," says frontman Jesse Rutherford, 21, who attended the festival in 2011, watching Arcade Fire with guitarists Zach Abels, now 19, and Jeremy Freedman, 20. "During that set, we looked at each other and were like, 'We need to get here.' " Within months, they'd formed a band, adding bassist Mikey Margott, 19, and drummer Bryan Sammis, 22.
Weather report:Sweater Weather, the group's chillingly sexual single, was a major blog hit last year and has now moved to the radio, where it's No. 9 on USA TODAY's alternative airplay chart. The song began in Abels' mother's living room, when Abels showed Rutherford its guitar riff. "Zach was playing around with it and asked me to record it for him," Rutherford says. "I was like, 'Dude, you've got to let me sing something over this; it's really good!' " Good enough, in fact, that it needed a band to play it. "I knew when I first came to Zach that I wanted to write more music with him and Jeremy," Rutherford says. The band's debut album, I Love You., is out April 23.
There goes The Neighbourhood: The Southern California group formed in late 2011, posting a four-song demo online, followed by fully realized recordings of Female Robbery and Sweater Weather. Renowned BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe was among the first to play one of the group's songs. "I was still in college at the time, and I skipped out on class to go listen to it, because of the time difference," says Sammis, who left New Orleans' Loyola University a semester short of graduation to be part of the band. The British audience, he says, has been key to the group's popularity. "You can't choose who likes your music, and it was cool they were the people who latched on first, because it's so far from home," he says. The band has played the United Kingdom three times already, with plans to return in May. Stateside, the group will precede a fall headlining tour with shows in New York, Los Angeles and at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival.
Beyond the blogs:Sweater Weather's popularity with indie-music blogs surprised Rutherford, who thinks of The Neighbourhood as creators of pop music with big aspirations. "We didn't get into this to be a cool indie band," he says. "When radio caught on, that made a little more sense. We write catchy pop songs. There's no getting around it." The band's style combines the hip-hop rhythmic sensibilities in Rutherford's melodies with the band's more rock-centered approach. "We usually refer to it as black and white, because it's our honest blend of music," Rutherford says.
Brand imaging: The Neighbourhood cultivates a stylized image, releasing photos and videos only in black and white. To some that's a clever creative decision that highlights the noirish aspects of the group's music, though others see it as affected and self-obsessed. But the group's fans are catching on, often posting their own Neighbourhood content in black and white as well. "It's cool that people are latching on and becoming part of The Neighbourhood with us, with the whole black and white movement," Rutherford says. "We can't control the world; we can't. But as far as the media we put out, we try to control it as much as we can, make it our themes, brand it as ourselves."
Mystery kids: Early tracks posted to the Internet were shrouded in mystery, since photos of the group and the names of its members couldn't be found online. "There wasn't really much," Rutherford says. "The rest of the boys in the band didn't really have any online presence. I had tried to push some of my hip-hop stuff before and had a little stuff on there that I took down." But the music stood on its own. "That feeling was solidified when record companies started calling and blogs started posting it," he says. Now the band is looking to engage an audience on a broader scale. "We're trying to build the rest of it and see more of that black and white spread all over the world."

Comments: So far so good. a little smaller in the hand than i'm used to but by keeping the lanyard hooked on a belt loop they've been there when I need them. The braid cutter is a little awkward but very sharp. Space saver for sure. I like 'em so far. seem sturdier than some of the other name brand pliers on my boat, and a heck of a lot lighter.

Next chapter is out!
Spoiler!(No real actions in this chapter.)
I just read this manga yesterday (took me till today to finish since I had to get some sleep) anyways, at first I didn't know if it was going to be good (basically the part with the horse eating people/etc was turning me off). Then after about 15-20chapters I really started to like it.
Its pretty dark sometimes but I guess its OK since its a seinen (not that I care about the dark stuff, just looking at pictures made the manga seem all fairies) - I love the back story and everything that happened to Ascheriit, I also liked that while he was the strongest his new body wouldn't let him use his power (else it would be too redundant I guess when he's trying to fight other 'strong' people).
So yeah, I was loving the manga then finished ... then I noticed how sucky the release dates are... this is why I hate seinen lol.
This one looks more like those from Japanese/Chinese mythology, since he flies without wings, or rather, crawls on wind ?
He's gonna lure it out?
Let's wait and see his face after the revelation of Krouzen's real identity, or does he know already ?
I knew it wasn't the end of Glen. The way he died was just so anti-climatic... It seems that he was revived in the same way Ascheritt was... He kinda looks elfish or fairyish.....
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Sorry guys, but the previous version was missing one page (one where the Dragon Earl bows before Glen).
The real name of the chapter is: CHAPTER 105: SPEAR OF THE HEAVENS it refers to the new floating castled called: "Heavenly Spear Castle".
