Death Linked to Marijuana…Question Mark?

"Student death is first linked to legal marijuana in Colorado." Now that's a fear-mongering headline if we've ever heard one. However, 19-year old Levy Thamba did die March 11 after falling from a hotel balcony, apparently after consuming marijuana cookies purchased legally by a 21-year old friend in Denver.
This is confusing, though, isn't it? While the media has been telling us crazy things about drugs for EVER, things that have often been disproven in later years, science tells us that not only does marijuana NOT kill, it's actually also not all that dangerous…unless you're a healthy child with a developing brain or unless you're, you know, operating machinery. It's not nearly as dangerous as cigarettes or alcohol, for instance, which our friendly reporters and legislators probably enjoy daily.
A number of renowned news sites have covered Thamba's death over the past couple of weeks, linking the marijuana cookie consumption to his out-of-character behavior and ultimate death. The coroner reported that Thamba had no history of mental problems or suicidal tendencies, and that the death was linked to "marijuana intoxication."
Two words for you, media outlets and fear-mongers: CAUSE and EFFECT. There are a number of factors that could have – and probably did – contribute to Thamba's death on March 11. Simply blaming it on a marijuana cookie is not helpful to anyone.
Furthermore, as the Daily Beast's article rightly points out, "questions about dosage, manufacturing practices, contamination, and Levi's knowledge have not been answered, or perhaps even asked." The government refuses to allow the kinds of research necessary to gain knowledge about how different strains of cannabis impact different people based on biological makeup, health conditions, and other factors.
At the end of the day, we still have a lot of questions and a lot of old-fashioned prohibitionists pointing their fingers at marijuana, the bad guy. Let's hope that at the end of this debate, science can overcome.

Why you need it: As versatile as they come, a saucepan is an equal-opportunity pot. With its tall sides and thick base, it's ideal when you want to make anything from a velvety roux to hard-boiled eggs.
What to look for: The pan should feel a bit weighty (at least two or three pounds), but not so heavy that you'll be struggling to lift it when it's full of a boiling liquid. Make sure the handles are secure; they should be soldered or riveted onto the base, says Samuelsson. "Opt for long handles―from 12 to 16 inches long," he adds, "so you won't burn yourself when you're pulling the pan out of the oven. And always ask if the handle is heatproof before you buy." Get a tight-fitting lid to contain sauce splatters (it may be sold separately). Consider a pan with flared sides, called a Windsor pan, which has a wider cooking surface and thus boils water faster and reduces sauces more quickly.

My New Year's resolution this year is to be healthier and happier.
The resolution was for my whole family. They were not thrilled. We were going to eat better, play outside, do stuff for others -- all part of our journey to "happiness."
On New Year's Day, I dusted off my cross country skies and headed out to the local park. It was perfect skiing weather with six good inches of fresh snow. Unfortunately the brutal cold a week later kept us trapped inside for days.
As for the eating healthier part of the resolution, I was determined to find some meals that my super picky 10-year-old would eat. I decided to let the kids plan some of our menus. My older daughter was up first and picked stuffed peppers. With a strong Hungarian background, I ate lots of stuffed stuff growing up and stuffed peppers were never one of my favorites. But, if the kid was excited about trying them, I was all for it. We spent the afternoon slicing, sauting, stuffing and baking.
I still don't like stuffed peppers. But my pepper-loving daughter considered the meal a success.
Next up was the picky eater. She decided to make potato pancakes. They were delicious until she realized onions went into the concoction and then no amount of syrup or apple sauce could disguise the onion-y taste.
I read an interesting article in Outside magazine about 13 scientifically proven methods for living happier. It talked about things like getting up early, getting dirty, living each day like it was a Saturday, listening to music, eating more chocolate (I'm definitely on board with that one) and eating happy meals. And by "happy meals," they weren't talking about a handful of chicken nuggets and a prize. Apparently the happiest foods -- the foods that produce the highest level of the those feel-good endorphins in your body -- are elk, spinach, turkey, egg whites, black beans, walnuts and split peas.
I can't wait to hear what my picky eater has to say about that.

A GALLOWS ON PRESQUE ISLE?February 22, 2013 8:48 am Leave your thoughts
As unusual as it may seem, for nearly 18 months Presque Isle was the home of a gallows. The gallows was borrowed from the City of Pittsburgh. It was used in a special emergency on Presque Isle. No, don't worry, the only hangings on this particular gallows were the hanging of two whale oil-burning lanterns.
So here is the where, how and why of this tale. It is both normal and strange all at one time. It is the story of one of our favorite and best recognized places on Presque Isle. It is the small lighthouse at the end of North Pier. Its official name is North Pierhead Lighthouse, however to most visitors it's simply the North Pier Light.
When the sandbars across the harbor entrance were removed and pier walls installed along the channel into Presque Isle Bay, a simple octagonal wooden tower was erected on the then far eastern end of the northern wall of the pier in 1828. In 1830, a beacon light was placed at the top of this tower. It was powered by whale oil and had t Whale oil was used during the early 1800s as the fuel of choice due to its bright burning characteristics. It was obtained by boiling the blubber of whales and harvesting the refined oil.
However, it was soon found that when mariners were approaching the channel, they often had difficulty spotting the pier light until they were right on top of it. To help solve this problem, in the early 1850s the light was equipped with a new sixth-order Fresnel lens so its beacon could more easily be seen. A Fresnel lens is simply a complex lens, first used in 1823, that concentrates and magnifies light. Even today they are used in automobile headlights, overhead projectors and even in solar power applications plus thousands of other products.
This tower and light served mariners visiting Erie until one stormy evening in 1857. During that night a large sailing schooner slammed into and over the tower in the furious storm. After the accident, the storm took less than an hour to finish the job and sweep the tower and light completely away. Since that time, there have been questions about the sobriety of the schooner's capitain.
Knowing that the light was critical to the safety of mariners, the design and construction of a new tower and light were started immediately. At the time it was found that the final design, forging and delivery of a new wrought iron tower would take at least 18 months and cost $5,250. To fill the gap, a gallows became the solution. Erie had none, so arrangements were made to borrow one of Pittsburgh's extras. While hangings were still legal in Pennsylvania until 1920, not many were being done at the time. A fairly large lantern was attached to the gallows and served as Erie's channel light until the new tower was in place by fall of 1858.
This is just one of the stories that Presque Isle hides in its hidden and wonderful history. I hope to tell you many more in coming blogs. Until then:
See you on the park!!

Immigration: Legalization for millions based on "imaginary number?"
EL PASO, Texas - Scholars, lawmakers and people trying to decipher the proposed immigration bill are concerned the pathway to citizenship for millions of people living in the U.S. illegally is contingent on an "imaginary number."
The bill lays out a 13-year plan to citizenship for the estimated 11-million people living in the country illegally. Before that plan to legalization is set in motion, the bill stipulates the border must to be secure and it's the definition of secure that has raised questions by critics of the bill.
The proposed legislation calls for a path to legalization only be implemented until border security is 90% effective. The 90% effectiveness rate is defined by the bill as the number of apprehensions and turn backs in a specific sector divided by the total number of illegal entries.
"It makes all of that depend on this imaginary number at the border that we're really not sure how to calculate," said Josiah Heyman, Ph.D, a Professor and Chair of Anthropology at the University of Texas at El Paso. Heyman researches and publishes on Border Enforcement Policy.
His concern, shared by some lawmakers, is that there's no hard number on illegal entries because immigrants cross the border undetected, which means the key criteria to enforce the immigration bill is based on a guess.
The government currently measure illegal entries using apprehension numbers, aerial surveillance, turn backs and even tracks in the desert to generate an estimate, said Heyman.
Hayman also said the equation's lack of objectivity lends itself to partisan manipulation. "It's a politically charged number. It's making the legalization of people who are already here anyway, contingent on that number - that means that it ties everything to the politics of this mysterious number." Critics of the bill believe politicians can allege the border is safer if there's more or fewer apprehensions - depending on their political agenda.
Those who believe the 800-page bill does not address other border security measures, believe lawmakers are missing the biggest risks.
"The real security issues at the border are guns, drugs and money. That's associated with dangerous criminal organizations. We are completely ignoring the real risk to innocent civilians and we're focusing on mass migrants who want to chop vegetables in a restaurant."
Immigration to the U.S. is drastically down in the past decade. In fiscal year 2000, border agents apprehended more than 115,000 illegal immigrants in the El Paso sector, compared to fiscal year 2012, when they apprehended fewer than 10,000.

during a routine traffic stop i pulled out my drivers license, registration, and proof of insurance. montana doesnt require you to tell a police officer that you have a weapon, but as a courtesy to the highway patrolman and a service to myself (i didnt want any surprises if he noticed i was armed) i also handed him my ccw. as he thumbed through my paperwork he reached my ccw and asked if i was armed to which i replied "yes sir, i handed you my permit to prevent any surprises". as he looked at my ccw and looked back at me (to make sure i was the guy in the picture, i guess) he nonchalantly reached down and unsnapped the retention strap on his holster. he ran my license, and several minutes later he sent me on my way.
the officer was completely professional, respectful, and courteous (i would expect nothing less of montanas finest) and i was also courteous and respectful. i dont think he meant for me to notice that he had unsnapped his retention strap. what i dont understand, is what motivated him to do it.
i could understand if he had unsnapped his retention strap as he initially approached my vehicle. at that point, he knew nothing of me and im told that i can look "scary" sometimes. what i dont understand, is why he would unsnap his retention strap after recognizing me as a valid ccw holder. yes, my ccw told him that im armed (as is 99.99% of anyone you meet in rural montana), but my ccw also says:
- i am not a felon
- i have passed extensive local and fbi background checks
- i have been fingerprinted and completed safety courses
- i have demonstrated respectable character
- i obey the law
dont misunderstand, i can appreciate the position any officer places himself in throughout his duty of enforcing the law, but i just dont understand why a valid photo i.d. ccw would make him feel threatened. :confused:

Happy New Year to all ThemeForest members. May your sales go over the top !
OMG! This looks awesome on so many levels. Can't wait for the finished movie.
I'm very sorry you're leaving TF. I hope you'll come back when you finish your studies.
I still believe that you can accomplish both if you manage your time properly.
dunhakdis said
I'll cut down my procrastination habits
Yep, that's the first thing on my list too.
Also, i plan to release the first (of many) WordPress theme on TF (hopefully in the first half of the year).
I'm not active on AudioJungle, so I randomly entered this topic thinking it is abou a TF author.
Out of curiosity, i checked Alkis' work, and i must say he's great. Keep up the good work. Really catchy stuff, no wonder he has great success with sales.
To be honest, your template needs more work.
I would work on the typography a little bit, and make it more unique. You should check other items in the category you're submitting to, and see what are the trends in design, and to get a little inspiration on what to change.
One more thing, and it's my personal impression – change the rounded borders of thumbnails. It seems out of place for the design feel of the whole site.
Those are just my two cents. I recommend you be persistent and wish you get approved as soon as possible
Sto je zamrla tema? Zauzeti ljudi pa se ne stize ili su svi uzivali u ovom kasnom letu
Congrats to Kailoon from us as well
If your looking for a feedback regarding the css framework, i would suggest bootstrap or foundation. The first is more popular and used, but the second is (almost) equally good.
Also, i had nice experiences with Wordpress, its rather simple to use, so you can use it as a kind of "coding" framework.
And i thought we're the only ones waiting in the review queue. Any news do they plan on speeding things up?
We didn't submit anything for almost half a year or so. Before, in rare occasions, we would wait up to 48 hrs.
Is this long waiting line a standard thing now?

It has been a minute since I have done an ask the reader post. I love hearing from you guys- you are quite the sharp and resourceful bunch.
So today, I had been thinking, doing a bit of self inventory and realized, I am terrified of skater skirts. If you have been following me on Facebook, I touched on this before. I love the look of them, but for some unknown reason, I get extreme pause to actually step into one. I have bought two, to try to push myself out of my fear, to no avail.
Featured articles
Maybe this comes from my years as a cheerleader and they are wayyyyy too familiar. Or maybe it is because I am a little older and they (skater skirts) read a bit younger than I am… I really do admire the style and the many ways they have been worn, BUT DAMMIT.
I CANT. I think I am scared.
I don't want to show too much of my business. I dunno. LOL. I am stuck here.
Which had me thinking, I wanted to know if I was alone in being so apprehensive in trying something new.
So I ask you today, what item are you the most afraid of wearing?
Do you think we could overcome this fear together? If enough of you decide to face your own item that you dread or fear wearing, I will do it too! Maybe we could hastag it? I dunno.

Hmm, I had good luck with the Joe P mbc that I tried for about a week. No boost spikes, and part throttle boost was really not an issue like I thought it would be. Took it out just to be conservative though, wanted to wait for a staged kit.
How is this helpful to you? Hmm, I dunno.

So here's the skinny:

I'm getting a whining/whirring sound coming from what I've narrowed down to my trans. The sound starts about 20mph, and gets louder and slightly higher pitched from there. Happens with clutch engaged or not, definitely not the brakes or (from what I can tell) the half shafts. Definitely not wheel bearings as there's no rumbling, grinding, etc. Also not coming from the rear diff.
My local mechanic told me it's the counterbalance shaft in the trans....which I'm very iffy about.
Here's the sound clip. You'll hear it start up, a few shifts later it gets very pronounced. I'm wondering if anyone can help identify this before I end up with a full trans rebuild or something.

Buena Suerte, Maria!
After 17 years of competing on the
World Cup, including 172 starts and
six wins, Spanish racer Maria Jose
Rienda Contreras, 35, said adios at
Spindleruv Mlyn, Czech Republic.
After her race, a collection of World
Cup veterans lined the finish area
holding letters that spelled out
"Gracias Maria." They then hoisted
Rienda on to their shoulders. "I love
Maria; she is a girl I have always
admired and respected on the World
Cup," said Sarah Schleper. "She will
be missed by many on tour."
Reunion Time
On March 26, the Park City Ski
Team held its reunion at Park
City Mountain Resort, where
Ted Ligety raced against some
young rippers including Patrick
Fischer (left). Also on hand
were U.S. Ski Teamers Hailey
Duke, Chelsea Marshall, Alice
McKennis, Megan McJames
and Cody Marshall (below).
Making Up on the World Cup
As the World Cup drew toward a close, FIS director Guenther Hujara and
Switzerland's Didier Cuche were growling like two alpha wolves about Cuche's alleged
threats over a jump on the Kvitfjell course. According to European reports, Cuche
threatened to "attack" Hujara if he didn't shave the jump down. Hujara responded by
calling the Swiss ace out of order and fining him $5,445. Then, at Finals in Lenzerheide,
Switzerland, Cuche arrived on the press conference stage and he discovered two
name placards, one with his name and the other with Hujara's. To start the conference
he placed the two placards side-by-side and started by sitting behind his placard and
said, "Guenther, that first jump is too big."
He then moved behind Hujara's placard and intoned with a serious look, "Didier, just
remember, I am the boss!"
Members of the European press howled. Later, there were mea culpas from both
individuals in Lenzerheide.

Troubled City of Hampton to Seek Help
Published February 20th, 2014
Loading Video...
The fate of one North Central Florida town facing a plethora of problems may be decided at the end of this month.
State Senator Rob Bradley and representative Charles Van Zant plan to talk with residents about whether to dissolve the City Government of Hampton.
State lawmakers recommended merging the city into an unincorporated portion of Bradford County earlier this month after a scathing audit found widespread misuse of funds.
The meeting to discuss Hampton's future will take place next Thursday at City Hall.

Camp's Description
The Ranch:
2,360 acres of rolling plains and pine forests comprise Teton Valley Ranch Camps new home. The scenic property lies just 10 miles west of Dubois, WY and 70 miles east of Jackson Hole. Nestled among ridges and valleys and set four miles back from the road, it is a true secluded western ranch.
The riding program at TVRC caters to all levels of experience. Campers can spend their morning or afternoon learning rodeo events such as barrel racing, pole bending, or keyhole in the gymkhana program. They can develop or strengthen their fundamental riding skills in the horsemanship program which focuses on proper and safe riding techniques.
Imagine hiking through a pine forest with the sweet smell of balsam lingering in the air. The trail opens to a meadow painted with purple lupine, yellow balsam-root, and fiery red Indian paintbrush. In front of you stands the most magnificent peak you have ever seen. It calls your name. You realize that in the next four days you will see spectacular views, cook all of your meals over an open fire, sleep under the stars, and experience both great challenges and great rewards.
Pack Trips:
There are some areas of the Teton Wilderness that are only accessible by foot or horseback. Campers will have the opportunity to explore these areas on scenic pack trips into the Gros Venture Wilderness or Teton Wilderness areas. Experienced outfitters lead the pack trips and carry all of the food and supplies on a string of mules. Campers will ride on horseback sixteen miles through forests and meadows, across rivers and along ridges, to the campsite where they will live for the next four days
In Camp:
When not out hiking across alpine meadows or riding through crystal streams, TVRC offers various in-camp activities to excite its campers. All activities at TVRC are not only fun, but strive to educate campers in an exciting and innovative manner. Safety is our priority and all activities are run with that in mind.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but there's very little room for opinions in finance (as paying less for the EXACT same thing is objectively better).
Depending on your options, and what you were offered you did not do well.
Most leases have a fixed monthly payment, however the depreciation rate on most autos is very heavily front weighted. That is, you experience a 25% drop in value within the first year, and the rate of depreciation decreases over the life of the vehicle.
Fixed lease payments don't cover the drop in value the first year, however they make up for it in later years by charging you more than the monthly value decrease of the car. By trading in after one year, you took the largest hit for depreciation and "paid" way more than you would for a lease.
If this doesn't make sense I can make a graph showing the linear, vs exponential, concave up decreasing costs under each scenario.

So I figured id seek advice on here before I jump into something stupid (like I usually do.)
So a week after I sell my AA Blackjack to my good friend for fear of driving it across the country when I get out of the AF, I found im going to be in NJ most likely thru another duck season. So here is my predicament, I need to look at an inexpensive and lightweight option for hunting the coast and backwaters of NJ.
I know I will have a hard time replacing that boat/15hp yamaha combo, but oh well.
My ultimate goal is to stay under $1500 and have almost no manufacturing skills.
I have been looking at a few models
1. 4 Rivers Refuge Runner
2. Momarsh fatboy dp
3. Carstens Canvasback
The only thing is that these models have a very low hp rating. Would it be a death wish to have these in the barnegat bay (during ideal conditions) with that low of hp?
How difficult are the mud motor kits from mudmotorkits.com to throw together? Would that be a better option? I have heard of people using 6.5-7.5hp mudmotors on the refuge runner as well as the momarsh.

Openness is the best medicine against graft and transparency is a form of supervision, according to Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng .
Taken at his word, Mr Han might have been expected to use the media spotlight at the National People's Congress session to tell the world how the mainland's financial capital planned to recover from a string of corruption scandals.
Shanghai leaders are the most eagerly sought after by overseas journalists covering the annual NPC sessions. This year there were added incentives following September's high-profile sacking of Shanghai party boss Chen Liangyu for his involvement in a major social security fund scandal and other illegal activities. Mr Han was appointed the city's acting party secretary after the sacking.
On Wednesday morning last week reporters gathered at the Shanghai Hall in the Great Hall of the People, where the city's delegation was meeting, eager to grab their only chance to get close to the mayor and ask him questions. Openness and transparency, however, were not much in evidence.
Journalists were allowed to hear only prepared speeches from a distance, separated from the city's officials by a cordon. Mr Han slipped out before the end of the meeting, before security guards expelled all reporters from non-Shanghai media.
Mr Han has repeated his openness and transparency dictum on many occasions. But on a personal level he appears to observe the golden rule of Chinese officialdom - keep a low profile and button your lip, particular in the politically sensitive run-up to a party congress.
This autumn's 17th party congress will decide Mr Han's political future, with the whole leadership expected to undergo a major reshuffle.
To be acting party secretary is a significant career boost for the mayor, with several former Shanghai party bosses having gone on to key jobs in Beijing, including former president Jiang Zemin , former premier Zhu Rongji , NPC chairman Wu Bangguo and Vice-Premier Huang Ju .
Analysts said Mr Han, a 53-year-old marked out as a rising political star, was picked to fill the top job to provide continuity and to calm nerves in the city's bureaucracy.
Since taking over as mayor in February 2003, observers say he has given a steady, but unspectacular, performance.
'Mayor Han has been in a leading position in the city for about 15 years and this has proved that he is capable of leading the city,' said Yuan Yixing , a Shanghai NPC deputy.
Analysts said it was possible Mr Han would be named permanent party secretary because there was almost no precedent for an acting party secretary not to be confirmed.
Nevertheless, Shanghai ended its annual legislative session last month without mentioning a change in the mayor's post to clear the way for Mr Han to be named party secretary.
The Shanghai party committee also ended its annual meeting recently, with Mr Han remaining the city's acting party secretary. Analysts said this indicated the central leadership had not yet decided whether to name a new party secretary for Shanghai or promote Mr Han to the top job.
A native of Zhejiang province , Mr Han has risen through the government and party ranks in Shanghai, where he has spent his entire political career. He previously served as executive vice-mayor and then vice-mayor.
An economics graduate from Shanghai's East China Normal University, he worked in the chemical and rubber industries, but mainly in party posts.
He has also served as secretary of the Shanghai Communist Youth League, head of Shanghai's central Luwan district, deputy secretary-general of the city government and chief of its planning commission.
Although the Communist Youth League is considered the key power base of President Hu Jintao , Mr Han owes a greater allegiance to the so-called Shanghai Gang, led by Mr Jiang. Mr Han is also considered a close ally of former bosses Mr Zhu and Mr Huang, who is tipped to retire this year because of health problems.
Observers said that since becoming acting party secretary, Mr Han appeared to have pledged allegiance to Mr Hu and increasingly toed Beijing's line on most policies.
Analysts said Mr Chen's sacking was a move by Mr Hu to crack down on the Shanghai Gang before the 17th party congress, but was also partly sparked by Mr Chen's refusal to implement central government policy directives aimed at taming an overheated economy.
Shanghai has boomed over the past decade, with the city government tending to ignore Beijing's attempts to cool the economy. Its emphasis on rapid growth and property development put city hall at odds with the Beijing leadership, who have been seeking to achieve balanced growth and address worrying economic disparities across the nation.
Mr Han also made bullish comments about the property market that may come back to haunt him but there has since been a change in tone, with him saying the municipal government would 'earnestly implement' the central government's macroeconomic control policies.
'Mayor Han has attached importance to the central government's policy to address disparity and has made efforts to do some practical work to help people in difficulties. The government under him has also stepped up measures to solve problems in property speculation,' said Sun Yunshi , an NPC delegate and secretary-general of the Shanghai municipal legislature.
Mr Sun, citing data from the National Development and Reform Commission, said Shanghai had seen the biggest housing price declines of 70 main cities last year.
'Shanghai is beginning to take every notice of central policy,' said another NPC delegate, who requested anonymity. For example, the day after Premier Wen Jiabao delivered his government work report to the NPC, Shanghai set its economic growth target for this year at 9 per cent, after 15 years of double-digit growth.
No one could have foreseen the tricky circumstances under which Mr Han was promoted to the mainland's most coveted local leadership post. His relative youth and clean image, however, will help his political rise.
Some top party leaders without obvious political affiliation consider Mr Han one of the party's potential future leaders.
Mr Han was only considered a 'junior member' of this Shanghai Gang and his link with the Communist Youth League might help him to distance himself from its decline, analysts said.
More likely, Mr Han might benefit from a political compromise between Mr Hu and the Shanghai Gang and rise further to become a member of all-powerful Politburo and secure a top position in Beijing.

So what's the consensus on the .40 caliber? I fall in and out of love with it, myself.
Sometimes I think it recoils sharper than the 9mm and .45. Other times I've got no problems with it at all. Sometimes I think it's the perfect middleman between the 9mm and .45.
For me, it's depended much on the gun I've shot it out of. I've liked it better out of the Browning Hi-Power, the Sig 229, Beretta 96 and Cougars, and the USP full size.
I haven't liked it out of the Glocks, though the 27 seems to handle better than a full-size. Weird.
There was also some talk a few years back that one couldn't obtain tight groups with it, that it was an inheirently inaccurate cartridge. I haven't found that to be the case, personally. Has anyone a gripe about the .40's accuracy? Does anyone have a favorite .40 and hate the others??
Or is it just me??

Caffe Bene Treats Jang Keun Suk's 'Love Rain' Staff to 100 Drinks
Jang Keun Suk's advertisement deal with Caffe Bene is coming in handy, as it was revealed the coffee chain recently treated out Jang Keun Suk's staff!
On a warm-weathered day on May 2, Jang Keun Suk tweeted Caffe Bene asking, "Please recommend a Caffe Bene summer menu item that is fitting for this season." He soon received a list of recommended items from a Caffe Bene member staff on Twitter.
Jang Keun Suk then tweeted, "Since the weather is hot, would you mind treating out our staff?" Soon enough, Caffe Bene sent over 100 drinks for the staff to enjoy.
Jang Keun Suk later tweeted his thanks to the coffee chain saying, "Ta-dah!! The big-hearted Caffé Bene's dignity!!" and included a picture of the actor sipping from his Caffe Bene pina colada drink.
A member of the Caffe Bene staff said, "Though the act happened spontaneously through SNS (social networking service) with our brand's model, we hope it will be a small gift for Jang Keun Suk and Love Rain's staff as they work hard through the heat."

Most people assume that a desk is a desk is a desk. However, nothing could be farther from the truth (unless your desk was a duck). When you're sat at your perfectly supporting chair, feeling like you have the posture of a teenaged supermodel, the whole effect will rapidly unwind if your desk is too high or too low. At a bare minimum, your desk should be height adjustable so that you can match it to your chair. Although you might think that merely adjusting your chair to your desk height would be enough, having both adjustable allows you to find exactly the right position in which to spend your eight hour day.
Once you've got your body at the right height, consider your legs. Your feet should be planted firmly on the floor, or alternatively on a foot rest attached to your desk for maximum stability. Having your legs swinging will put too much strain on your lower back and could lead to sciatica.
Your desk may be covered with paperwork and photos of your dog, but the desk surface itself can cause problems. Positioning a light directly above it can cause glare if the surface is glossy, and to avoid problems a desk surface should always be matte. Also think about the other accessories on your desk - do you have a document holder? If you regularly flick between documents and your computer screen, put a document holder next to the screen so that your eyes aren't constantly having to refocus.
Probably the most used equipment on your desk is your computer, so positioning this properly is key. Although it's tempting to simply plonk your keyboard directly in front of you, consider exactly how much of the keyboard you are using. If you never use the number pad, move the keyboard to the right so that the main letters are directly in front of you. Even better, get a keyboard without a number pad so that you can place the mouse where it would otherwise be. Placing your mouse too far back on a desk is a common problem, and one that can lead to back and shoulder problems as you hold your arm unsupported while using the mouse. Ideally use a cordless mouse to avoid cable tangles and any issues positioning the little rodent exactly where you want it.
It almost goes without saying that you should be sitting straight-on to your desk, but for those who regularly like to dawdle or doodle at an angle, your back will thank me for reminding you.

Pats Peak annual 'homecoming' is a chance to feel the fall
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | October 30. 2013 7:25PM
"Beer and bratwurst are great," said Jim Wall, director of services at Pats Peak, "but for us, Oktoberfest is really kind of a homecoming."
Wall said the annual event reminds him of homecomings celebrated at high schools in the Midwest where he grew up, but instead of college kids returning to their alma maters, it's staff and instructors coming back to the mountain.
Many of the mountain's customers and season's pass holders also attend the event to cash in on the last discounted passes of the season, and to attend the ski and snowboard sale held as part of the day's activities. The sale runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and donated items that are sold to benefit a junior ski-racer non-profit.
The Oktoberfest celebration at Pats Peak is free, and includes all the trappings of an authentic German festival including German food, beer, and the music of King Ludwig's Bavarian Band.
And while the 11th annual Oktoberfest may include adult beverages, the event is always family-friendly, said Wall.
A special place for kids called "Bear-varia" is the center of activity for the younger set and includes candy apple decorating, the donut dangle, keg bowling, and a bouncy house that resembles a castle.

John Howard: Proven resilience
By Sydney Correspondent Red Harrison
Like his illustrious namesake, 59-year-old John Winston Howard, leader of the conservative Liberal Party and Prime Minister since March 1996, is a formidable debater and a singularly resilient and tenacious politician.
He has outlasted every Australian political leader of his time, and defied the sceptics by securing victory in the 1998 elections - albeit by a reduced majority.
The election campaign illustrated, however, why Mr Howard has been sometimes been accused of lapsing into a dangerous confusion between strength and stubbornness.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]He bet his political future - and his government's - on a conviction that Australians are willing to dig into their pockets to pay a new consumption tax of 10% on all goods and services, including food and children's clothing.
Only five years ago, a Liberal Party predecessor, John Hewson, was annihilated by the Labor Party when he proposed a similar tax, but Mr Howard remained unshaken - and managed to carry a majority of voters with him.
"My instinct," he said, "is that people in the end will go for something which is good for their long-term future provided they regard it as fair."
Thorny issue of tax
Mr Howard's goods and services tax (GST) is the central pillar of proposals to reform the entire taxation system.
In compensation for the GST, Mr Howard offers to reduce other taxes and eliminate some, but polls among middle and lower income groups indicate widespread suspicion and cynicism, especially about promises that the GST will never be increased.
Many people believe the poor will become poorer if they are forced to pay a GST while the abolition of other taxes will simply fatten the pockets of those who are already well off.
Detractors call him dull
Critics, especially in the largely left-leaning media, frequently portray Mr Howard as a man who has squandered his time in office, a timid, overly cautious leader better suited to the dreary life of a suburban solicitor, which he used to be before entering politics 24 years ago.
A charitable explanation of this melancholy view might be that it is seriously blinkered.
Time after time, Mr Howard has demonstrated that he is not afraid to take hard and unpopular decisions, particularly in his economic reforms.
These have turned a budget deficit into a substantial surplus, kept interest rates down and, so far, largely protected Australia from the financial crises in Asia.
He has withstood tumultuous resistance in implementing new laws on gun controls, aboriginal land ownership, compulsory trade unionism, welfare spending and the sale of Telstra, the government-owned communications giant.
Image matters
Sound economic management, however, is seldom regarded as a platform for political charisma and, undeniably, Mr Howard has a problem in personal style.
He has had his teeth capped, his eyebrows trimmed, and changed the frames of his spectacles.
Yet Mr Howard remains a short, balding, almost deaf man who looks uncomfortable with strangers, a dull speaker whose seeming inability to inspire confidence in his leadership often sees him under challenge from within his party.

Looking down from the Shard the other day, I found myself wondering about the history of looking down on things. Not metaphorically, of course – that is presumably as old as hominids – but literally, as I was doing, enjoying the 800ft gap between myself and the street below. There was a reminder that this isn't an exclusively modern pleasure some 600ft beneath me – in the form of the gilded teazle of flames that tops Sir Christopher Wren's Monument to the Great Fire of London. Boswell went up that in 1762, overcoming a panic attack to get to the top and recording shakily that it was "horrid to be so monstrous a way up in the air, so far above London and its spires." But Boswell was relishing an ancient thrill even then. In a popular 17th century guide book, Justus Zinzerling tells visitors that "a fine view of the city is beheld from the lofty tower" of St Paul's (he also warns them to keep an eye out for the gibbeted thief on the outskirts of Sittingbourne). And in 1592, Frederick Duke of Wittenberg was taken up to the highest tower of Windsor Castle, where he carved his name in the roof lead – evidence that touristic vandalism has a long and distinguished history, too. In a lot of cases, one imagines, the entrance fee placard went up just a couple of minutes after the last stone was laid.
It's hard not to think that there's some biological imperative at work in our passion for this rentable and temporary supremacy – some ancient advantage to having a panoramic view of the surrounding land which flickers within us as we take the express elevator up to the viewing platform. Elevation has always been a privilege of the powerful and the wealthy, after all. They take the top rungs of the ladder, the upper echelons of the pecking order, and the penthouse suites in the tower block. So when you visit one of these attractions, there's a sense of borrowed grandeur in the perspective you get – which is further enhanced by your grasp of a spectacle that always evades you at ground level. Roland Barthes, in a famous essay on the Eiffel Tower, suggested that it made structuralists of all its visitors (without them ever knowing it) because it gave them a tool to analyse the power relationships in the city in which they lived. But you don't have to go quite as far as he did to agree that what's usually marketed as a sensational pleasure is surreptitiously an intellectual one, too.
Up the Shard, I found myself thinking of something else as well, though. And that was the recent popularity of tilt-shift photography, that technique which takes a scene from the real world and converts it into a model village (you'll have seen it somewhere on television because it's very vogueish at the moment). The satisfaction of tilt-shift isn't entirely unconnected to the thrill we feel up a high building, where the rail networks that so frustrate us in actual use become toys, shuttling to and fro with perfect neatness. Both height and that trick of focal depth bring the world into our grasp in another sense, because they make it look cherishably manipulable. We understand the complexity of systems, can see how they interlock and sense how they might be rearranged, as in a game with scale models. So while it might still be "horrid" in Boswell's more ancient understanding of the term (as something that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up), it's also profoundly gratifying, hinting at an imagined world in which we're the biggest thing around and our thumb can blot out a building. Above about 500ft we're all children again. Did our ancestors feel that, too, before cathedrals or skyscrapers? And did being the king of the castle long predate castles?
A four-letter word arrives on Radio 4
The news that Radio 4 is to broadcast an unexpurgated reading of Tony Harrison's poem V took me back to the furore that greeted its first publication. This newspaper reprinted the whole poem so that our readers could judge for themselves, a decision which, as I recall, took the editor Andreas Whittam Smith about half a second to make. He was just as brisk when someone suggested that the swear words might be hyphenated into semi-decency. I remember how nervous I was, because I dreaded the possibility that a typo had crept into its 3,500 words. And I don't think any of us would have credited that it would one day go out on Radio 4.
The latest spin on a misused word
Back in 1917, when Guillaume Apollinaire used the word to refer to Satie's Parade, "surreal" referred to a dreamlike, irrational conjunction of real objects. These days – as demonstrated by eyewitnesses to the Vauxhall helicopter crash the other day – it means something more like, "Honest... I've never seen anything like it before." I suppose the wreckage of a helicopter on a London street does qualify as an unexpected juxtaposition. But it's hardly as unpredictable as Lautréaumont's famous instance of surrealist conjunction – "the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table". So unless the fire-engines were covered in fur and the helicopter was shaped like an elephant, I'm just not convinced surreal is the appropriate word.

Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Proprietary Red 2006
Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
There are 7,000 cases of the prodigious 2006 Proprietary Red Wine (a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec). Most of the fruit comes from the Stagecoach Vineyard and the Waters Ranch. Sweet, smoky, meaty aromas interwoven with melted asphalt, camphor, blackberry, cassis, and charcoal scents emerge from the complex aromatics. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, displaying sweet tannin, a concentrated mouthfeel, and a long, heady finish with substantial fruit, glycerin, and extract. It should drink beautifully for 20+ years.
Good medium ruby. Musky aromas of black raspberry, mocha and smoke. Ripe, lush, seamless and deep; broad for the vintage, with plenty of mid-palate stuffing to support its tannins. This, too, is still youthfully unevolved and will need longer to express its inherent sweetness. Like the 2006 merlot, this merited a score at the high end of my original projected range.
81% Cabernet Sauvignon; 10% Merlot; 6% Cabernet Franc; 2% Petit Verdot; 1% Malbec. This latest version of Pahlmeyer's proprietary Napa Valley blend is, as usual, a very big, very deep wine that delivers lots of no-holds-barred richness. Its involving mix of cherries, cassis, dried herbs and very rich oak comes with a certain Merlot-like roundness and immediacy, and it eschews overt tannins even while being very well-balanced. It is already showing a fair sense of complexity, but be assured that there is much more to come, and the smart collector with set it aside for from five to eight years.
Firm and structured, with a taut mix of dried currant, anise, sage, dusty berry and cedary oak. Full-bodied, concentrated and marked by chewy tannins, this is closed and needs time. The best of two bottles tasted. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Best from 2010 through 2016. 7,017 cases made.

Your breasts are lovely so far. I do see some difference between the 2. But I really think it's swelling. Try a compression wrap and are if it gives any relief from your symptoms. It takes time for your body to adjust to the implants.... READ COMMENT
Always beautiful when I see your updates. I'm interested in reading about this lipo work. READ COMMENT

Quite simply, for three very important reasons:
