New Pesticide Marketing Campaign May Be Confusing. What Should You Believe?
New Pesticide Marketing Campaign May Be Confusing. What Should You Believe?In the not too distant future you may see advertisements, information hand-outs, signs in the produce areas of grocery stores, you might even hear radio advertising, all promoting the idea that the pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables really aren't harmful. If you're concerned about pesticides – which would make you part of a whopping 90% majority of the U.S. population – you might wonder if other information you've received on the dangers of pesticides is actually true. Well, here's the story behind the ads.
Recently, the Federal government approved $180,000 for the Alliance for Food and Farming to "help with a public education campaign to correct misconceptions that some produce items contain excessive amounts of pesticide residues." The 'produce items' being referenced are those on the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen List – the top 12 on a list showing the pesticide residue on about 50 fruits and vegetables.
EWG suggests we buy organically-grown Dirty Dozens so we can avoid the pesticides. The Alliance group, on the other hand, says there is no evidence of a health risk.
The EWG information is based on analysis of 89,000 tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The tests were on fruits and vegetables that had already been washed and/or peeled – basically, in the same conditions under which they would normally be eaten.
So, there is no doubt that the pesticide residues are there.
Why does the Alliance say there is no health risk? One of the Alliance associates said the EPA rules protect us. "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a rigorous, health-protective process for evaluating the potential risks of pesticides on food. This process includes considerations for fetuses, infants and children as well as adults."
But, the EPA doesn't have the same faith in their ability to protect us – as is clear from a speech given by EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson, in her address to the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco:
"A child born in America today will grow up exposed to more chemicals than a child from any other generation in our history. A 2005 study found 287 different chemicals in the cord blood of 10 newborn babies – chemicals from pesticides, fast food packaging, coal and gasoline emissions, and trash incineration. They were found in children in their most vulnerable stage. Our kids are getting steady infusions of industrial chemicals before we even give them solid food. Now, some chemicals may be risk-free at the levels we are seeing. I repeat: some chemical may be risk-free. But as more and more chemicals are found in our bodies and the environment, the public is understandably anxious and confused. Many are turning to government for assurance that chemicals have been assessed using the best available science, and that unacceptable risks haven't been ignored."
"Right now, we are failing to get this job done. Our oversight of the 21st century chemical industry is based on the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act. It was an important step forward at the time – part of a number of environmental wins from the 1970s, like the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, not to mention the formation of the EPA. But over the years, not only has TSCA fallen behind the industry it's supposed to regulate - it's been proven an inadequate tool for providing the protection against chemical risks that the public rightfully expects."
Add to that the revelations and recommendations made in the 2010 President's Cancer Panel Report, entitled Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now:
"Many known or suspected carcinogens first identified through studies of industrial and agricultural occupational exposures have since found their way into soil, air, water and numerous consumer products…Some of these chemicals have been found in maternal blood, placental tissue, and breast milk samples from pregnant women and mothers who recently gave birth. Thus, chemical contaminants are being passed on to the next generation, both prenatally and during breastfeeding."
"Exposure to pesticides can be decreased by choosing, to the extent possible, food grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers…Similarly, exposure to antibiotics, growth hormones, and toxic run-off from livestock feed lots can be minimized by eating free-range meat raised without these medications."
It's pretty clear from the EPA and President's Cancer Panel statements that the pesticide concerns of 90% of the U.S. population are well-founded.
I hope this information helps you in the decision making process if the marketing campaign that $180,000 is supposed to pay for ever does become a reality.

About Alvar Aalto (Designer)
An architect and designer, Alvar Aalto deserves an immense share of the credit for bringing Scandinavian modernism to a prominent place in the global arena. In both his buildings and in his furnishings — which range from chairs, tables and lighting to table- and glassware — Aalto's sensitivity to the natural world and to organic forms and materials tempered the hardness of rationalist design.
Relatively few Aalto buildings exist outside Finland. (Just four exist in the United States, and only one — the sinuous 1945 Baker House dormitory at M.I.T. — is easily visited.) International attention came to Aalto, whose surname translates to English as "wave," primarily through his furniture.
Instead of the tubular metal framing favored by the Bauhaus designers and Le Corbusier, Aalto insisted on wood. His aesthetic is best represented by the "Paimio chair," developed in 1930 as part of his overall design of a Finnish tuberculosis sanatorium. Comfortable, yet light enough to be easily moved by patients, the chair's frame is composed of two laminated birch loops; the seat and back are formed from a single sheet of plywood that scrolls under at the headrest and beneath the knees, creating a sort of pillow effect. Aalto's use of plywood had enormous influence on Charles Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Marcel Breuer and others who later came to the material.
Concerned with keeping up standards of quality in the production of his designs, Aalto formed the still-extant company Artek in 1935, along with his wife, Aino Aalto, whose glass designs were made by the firm. In the latter medium, in 1936 the Aaltos together created the iconic, undulating "Savoy vase," so-called for the luxe Helsinki restaurant for which the piece was designed. Artek also produced Aalto lighting designs, many of which — such as the "Angel's Wing" floor lamp and the "Beehive" pendant — incorporate a signature Aalto detail: shades made of concentric enameled-metal rings graduated down in diameter. The effect of the technique is essential Alvar Aalto: at once precise, simple, and somehow poetic.

Last week before the sad news of Steve Jobs death, Microsoft announced their partnership with various living room content providers. Under the deal, Comcast, HBO and Verizon will start streaming content on the Xbox. With this news, I think it safe to call Xbox as the Windows of the living room. Unlike Google TV and Apple TV, the Xbox (with Kinect and Windows Phone) is a more complete platform for living room entertainment. Fun family games, hardcore gaming, music & movie streaming and cable—that's the 360 degrees of multimedia and entertainment.
Kinect's voice and gesture control along with the soon-to-be-released Windows Phone app to control the TV via Xbox brings the much needed interaction overhaul from the button remotes we've all be using for the past two decades. In a patent filing I came across, Microsoft plans to give shopping the Kinect treatment. A while back Microsoft showed avatars of a group of friends sitting together and streaming a video, the friends were all their houses. The patent application titled Motion-based interactive shopping experience brings these elements together and a user controlled avatar will be able to interact with objects in the virtual world, much like how playing a game on Kinect is.
The patent appliction as some very interesting possibilities:
You shopping for yourself by trying out the clothes and seeing how you'd:
If you like to shop with a friend, two users can shop together:
If you want to buy furniture, Kinect will re-create a 3D model of your room and show you how the furniture will look like in your room!

The Cobb & Co Tourist Drive is a scenic route between between Ipswich and Toowoomba via the Lockyer Valley.
The drive celebrates the first mail route awarded to Cobb & Co in Queensland when, on January 1, 1866 the mail service commenced from Brisbane to Ipswich. Passengers and mail heading further west were taken from Ipswich to Grandchester (Queensland's oldest railway station) by train and then by another Cobb & Co coach for the rest of the journey to Toowoomba.
The drive follows the railway line and the original Cobb & Co route between Ipswich and Gatton. Just as Cobb & Co's passengers needed occasional stops during their journey, so do modern-day travellers. So, along the Cobb & Co Tourist Drive, three convenient locations in Rosewood, Forest Hill and Gatton have been designated Staging Posts.
All Staging Posts are situated where services, such as public toilets and the availability of food and drinks, are accessible seven days a week.
|2.5 Hours
|120 Kilometres
Covering a distance of 37 kilometress this section of the Cobb & Co Tourist Drive takes you from the starting point at The Workshops Rail Museum, through the Ipswich Central Business District and out into the countryside via Leichhardt and Wulkuraka.
Along the way, stops at the Ipswich Art Gallery - housed in the first Town Hall built in Queensland - and St Paul's Anglican Church - the oldest Anglican Church in Queensland are highly recommended. At Walloon, the first stop on Queensland's first railway line, stop and visit Henry Lawson Bicentennial Park. Here you'll find the striking memorial to the lost "Babies of Walloon" and the text of Henry Lawson's haunting poem carved in railway sleepers.
Continue to Rosewood and visit the Staging Post located in the Town Square in John Street. You'll also find a full size replica Cobb & Co here.
Located just 16 kilometres beyond Rosewood is Grandchester. Formerly called 'Bigge's Camp' after pastoralist and parliamentarian, Francis Edward Bigge, it was renamed Grandchester in 1865 and is the terminus for Queensland's first railway line.

Covering 93 kilometres, the Cobb & Co Tourist Drive between Grandchester and Toowoomba travels through the fertile, agricultural area in the Lockyer Valley which is justifiably referred to as Australia's Salad Bowl.
A highlight along the route is the unspoiled hamlet of Forest Hill which has been spared over-development and hasmany of its early buildings still in use. The main hub of this region is Gatton with the village of Gatton being first gazetted in 1855.
After the railway line from Ipswich reached Gatton in 1866, the town became the changeover point for the Cobb & Co Coaches to the Darling Downs.
This strategic importance in the Cobb & Co service is celebrated with a Staging Post at the entrance to the Lockyer Valley Cultural Centre.
A visit to the picturesque Spring Bluff Railway Centre is highly recommended and the journey up the Toowoomba range via the township of Murphys Creek is delightful. Arriving in Toowoomba at the end of the drive, a visit to the Cobb & Co Museum is a must. At the museum is the National Carriage Collection - Australia's finest collection of horse drawn vehicles that includes Cobb & Co coaches, delivery carts and more.

New research suggests that universal background check legislation of the sort currently being debated in Congress has had an enormous impact on gun violence in the past, according to testimony presented at Tuesday's hearing before the Senate Judiciary committee. Daniel Webster, the Director Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, studied the consequences of Missouri repealing its "permit-to-purchase" law in 2007. This law, which required a background check as well as a brief sheriff's review be conducted on all gun sales, closed the private sales loophole, and its repeal meant that Missouri would allow guns to be sold privately without a background check for the first time in recent history.
Webster found evidence that the expiration of the law resulted in a sharp, roughly 25 percent spike in the homicide rate in Missouri — despite the fact that gun violence was declining nationally and regionally:
Preliminary evidence suggests that the increase in the diversion of guns to criminals linked to the law's repeal may have translated into increases in homicides committed with firearms. From 1999 through 2007, Missouri's age-adjusted homicide rate was relatively stable, fluctuating around a mean of 4.66 per 100,000 population per year. In 2008, the first full year after the permit-to-purchase licensing law was repealed, the age-adjusted firearm homicide rate in Missouri increased sharply to 6.23 per 100,000 population, a 34 percent increase. For the post-repeal period of 2008-2010, the mean annual age-adjusted firearm homicide rate was 5.82, 25 percent above the pre-repeal mean. This increase was out of synch with changes during that period in age-adjusted homicide rates nationally which decreased ten percent and with changes in other states in the Midwest which declined by 5%.Normally it's very hard to ascribe changes in homicide rates to any one particular factor, but Webster and his co-workers found strong evidence to support the idea that the repeal of the permit-to-purchase law was the cause. They did a careful analysis of the kind of guns used by criminals in Missouri from 2007-2011, finding an extraordinary increase in the percentage of "young" (meaning recently purchased) guns used in crime entirely at odds with the broader national trend. This would suggest that, without background checks to worry about, it was easier for criminals to get new guns. The fact that this surge in criminals getting new guns coincided with a sharp increase in the gun homicide rate gives us strong reason to believe that the repeal of the background check law directly led to a 25 percent increase in the homicide rate.
90 percent of states allow private sales to take place without background checks, suggesting that if Webster's research is right, it's possible that we might be able to reduce national homicides by nearly 25 percent if there were universal, federally mandated background checks. That would translate, given the 11,000 annual gun homicides in the United States, to 2,750 lives saved per year.
A bipartisan group of Senators are developing a federal law to require universal background checks. 90 percent of Americans support this legislation.

Title, registration, tax and other fees, and personal circumstances such as employment status and personal credit history, were not considered in the calculations.
The interceptor. The athlete. Aerodynamic, avant-garde. Do you know of another sporty bike with this profile? A bike that develops such pulling power with 175 hp that it take the heat out of many a 200 hp bike? But a bike you can still take out on a quick trip simply because it has great everyday suitability? At the same time a technological treat?
The reasons - 103 foot pounds of torque from 1,293 cc – and at 8,250 rpm too. With a throaty sound from a cool, hexagonal tube. With catalytic converter and exhaust valve. And with fuel consumption and exhaust emission values which would suit many a machine with half the dynamic performance.
With this jet, the whole concept of speed moves into a new dimension. This in-line 4-cylinder delivers its power in such a way that you can almost feel it when standing still. That's because within the engine speed ranges in which you move more than 80% of the time – i.e. the lower and medium speed ranges – it delivers performance from the first yard. The real thing. And in terms of safety features, this machine is unique: ABS as standard with ASC and ESA optional. And the extras are amazing - race through the gears with the gear shift assistant, pure racing in view with the 2D HP dashboard.

Family allowed to begin home schooling again
Filed: December 6, 1999, St. Louis County.
Nature of Case: St. Louis County Protective Services brought a petition alleging educational neglect of an 8 year-old child. The child has severe developmental problems, including the fact that he does not speak in complete sentences. Even though the parents were in compliance with the home school statute for 1999-2000, their failure to log 1000 hours for 1998-99 resulted in a finding of neglect. Educational psychologist Steven Duvall testified on behalf of the family that their current program is superior to what is customarily taught in the public schools and is meeting the special needs of the child, but the court was not interested. The fact that there were not 1000 hours of instruction in 1998-99 could not be overcome.
11-9-00 The trial court held that the family failed to meet the 1000-hour requirement and ordered the autistic 8-year-old to be tested. The parties worked out an agreement whereby the Bs agreed to place Joshua in a public school in exchange for minimal intrusion by DSS into the family's home.
8-7-01 The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision.
10-4-01 The Court of Appeals denied our motion for rehearing and/or transfer to the Supreme Court of Missouri.
11-20-01 The Supreme Court of Missouri denied our appeal, bringing the first part of the case to a final conclusion.
8-20-02 The Family Court of St. Louis County, in a review hearing, approved home schooling for Joshua for the first school semester.
2-11-03 The Family Court retained supervision, but allowed Joshua to continue homeschooling for the rest of the year.
Status: The Court of Appeals' interpretation of "school term" for home school families stands:
Although "school term" is statutorily defined, the definition is not applicable in the home school context. � We hold that, in the context of a homeschool, a "school term" is a period not greater than twelve months during which instruction is regularly given to students.
"In the homeschool setting," held the Court of Appeals, "there is no logical reason to hold that the school term is restricted to a single [public] school year." Home schooling parents in Missouri, therefore, are free to set their own school "term." It may be twelve months or less, but no longer. Parents must offer 1000 hours of instruction within the school term they set.
A child is not subject to compulsory attendance unless he is age 7 at the beginning of his school term. If a parent determines their school term will begin September 1, and the child turns 7 on September 15, the child will not be of compulsory age until the following year. Parents have no legal duty to offer 1000 hours of instruction or keep any records until a child is age 7 at the beginning of his school term.
This court ruling gives Missouri home schoolers tremendous flexibility to adjust their home school term to best suit the needs of their children.

Apponequet principal Dr. Barbara Starkie praised the class for its "resilience" which she said carried the grads through many changes over four years.
LAKEVILLE — Meredith Cooney had plenty on her mind.
The Apponequet High School Class of 2014 president had to welcome the overflow crowd at Griffith Field, give her speech, read off the names of the graduates ...
But when she saw her white cap and gown, it hit her.
"Once I saw the gown, this was, like, actually graduating," she said while awaiting the call to line up and march onto the football field. "We're not practicing in the gym. This is for real."
Standing with her close friends Jacqueline Connor, the class vice president, and Bethany McMeekin, the trio became nostalgic as they recounted events that took place over the past four years.
"As soon as the music plays, it'll hit me," Connor said of the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" which signaled the start of the ceremony.
And as the music began to play, the reality of the occasion hit all 214 graduates.
Apponequet principal Dr. Barbara Starkie praised the class for its "resilience" which she said carried the grads through "four schedules, three principals ... three superintendents, three assistant principals and approximately — wait for it — 50 new staff members in and out of Apponequet since your arrival."
Starkie also remembered Brandyn Fiola, a member of the Class of 2014, who died suddenly in January. He transferred to Apponequet from Durfee High School in Fall River for his senior year.
Kayla Chernecky presented the charge to the class and urged her classmates to cherish the bonds they have formed.
"Unfortunately, as we all know too well, these people come and go, and some leave us far too soon," she said.
Valedictorian Jenna Christiansen underscored the importance of the ceremony.
"As we are walking back to our seats, diploma in hand ... our futures begin," she said. "The attitudes that we carry with us as we take these first few steps truly do set the stage for the rest of our lives."
For her speech, salutatorian Meghan Patrick used a Polaroid camera as a prop and took a picture of the class.
"Just like this photo, our time at Apponequet is a brief snapshot in our lives," she said. "Over the last four years we 'developed' our minds, overcame 'negative' situations and 'focused' on a positive outcome."
The graduates included Jenya Kim, an exchange student from Kyrgyzstan, who won a scholarship to study in the United States for a year. Apponequet was the school chosen for her to attend.
"This was a great experience," she said as she prepares to take her diploma and return home in two weeks and study economics at the American University of Central Asia.
"I've made so many friends and now I'm leaving," Kim said. "I will love to see my family, but I'm leaving so much here."

As companies work to modernize their operations, many turn to outside services to handle their payroll and human resources functions. Some employers now pay their employees using payroll debit cards. These cards are issued to employees, and their wages are deposited onto the card on payday.
Payroll debit cards are often convenient for employers and employees, but there can be a downside. These cards may be subject to fees, which can significantly reduce an employee's earnings. Ultimately, an employee ends up paying to be paid. In some cases, fees can reduce a worker's income to less than the minimum wage.
As the use of payroll debit cards has increased, so have the abuses. The Iowa Attorney General's office is currently investigating a number of these abuse cases.
Article Photos
State Senator Steve Sodders
D-State Center
Many of those paid using payroll debit cards are low-wage workers who depend on every dollar they earn to provide for their families. They should not have to worry about losing their wages through unreasonable fees when they try to access their money.
In response to these concerns, the Senate is advancing legislation to outline simple protections for workers who are paid with debit cards. Senate Study Bill 3214 will:
Require an employee to consent to being paid by payroll debit card.
Require an employer to inform workers in writing of any fees that may arise from use of the card.
Allow an employee to withdraw all wages they are owed at least once per pay period without being charged a fee to access their money.
Allow an employee to choose to be paid in a different manner.
If you wish to file a complaint about payroll debit card abuse with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, go to
If you believe an employer is violating wage laws with payroll debit cards, you can file a "claim for wages" with Iowa Workforce Development at www.iowaworkforce.org/labor/wage.htm.
To contact Senator Sodders during the week, call the Senate Switchboard at 515-281-3371. Otherwise he can be reached at home at 641-483-2383. E-mail him at email@example.com.

(CNN) -- One of only two people to survive a plane crash last week in Russia, hockey player Alexander Galimov, died of his injuries on Monday, according to the hospital where he was being treated.
"Despite continuing therapy using all possible contemporary treatment, Alexander Galimov died from severe burns in the burn center of the Vishnevsky Institute of Surgery," a statement posted on the hospital's web page said.
Galimov and crew member Alexander Sizov were the only people to survive the crash Wednesday of a Yak-42 passenger plane outside Yaroslavl, Russia.
Forty-three others aboard the plane were killed. They included eight crew members and dozens of Russian and international hockey players for the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv hockey club. The plane was bound for Minsk, Belarus, where the team was to play Thursday, when it crashed just after takeoff.
Galimov and Sizov were flown to Moscow for treatment. Doctors said last week Galimov, a forward, suffered burns over 80% of this body.
Eleven international players were among those on board. Many of those on Lokomotiv Yaroslavl's roster had ties to the National Hockey League -- which includes teams from the United States and Canada -- including Pavol Demitra, a former Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks center from Slovakia, and Josef Vasicek from the Czech Republic, who had played with the New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes. Another Lokomotiv player, Ruslan Salei from Belarus, had skated for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings.
Yaroslavl Lokomotiv head coach Brad McCrimmon, a Canadian who also died in the crash, was an NHL veteran as well, the league said on its website.
Authorities said last week both the flight data and voice recorders from the plane had been recovered. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Yaroslavl Gov. Sergei Vakhrukov declared three days of mourning in the region, Friday through Sunday, for those killed.
The Russian Kontinental Hockey League will begin its regular season on Monday. Vyacheslav Fetisov, the chairman of the league's board of directors and a hockey legend in Russia, said on television last week that many players from other hockey teams had said they want to support the club and offered to play for the Yaroslav team.
CNN's Alla Eshchenko contributed to this report.

LOS ANGELES: Yahoo is ditching its provider of on-demand music, Rhapsody, for a similar service provided by Swedish subscription-music service Spotify.
The changes to the Yahoo Music site are expected to be complete by early Wednesday. Spotify's rollout across the rest of Yahoo will take longer. Rhapsody had been a Yahoo partner since February 2008.
Yahoo visitors will soon be able to hit a play button and have songs play without leaving the website, while the previous incarnation required users to navigate away from the page, said Yahoo spokeswoman Lisa Goodwin.
Yahoo Inc. will also create an app for the Spotify platform that will provide original content like artist profiles.
Spotify is free on computers but users who pay $10 a month can choose songs for playback on mobile devices.

Destination guide: Paris, France
Paris is the capital of France and one of the most famous cities in Europe.
Each year, thousands of tourists arrive in the so-called "City of Love" to visit the Eiffel Tower, the River Seine, the Moulin Rouge, the Olympic Stadium, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre Museum, the Champs Elysees and Notre Dame Cathedral, as well as many other attractions.
Paris has a bohemian, inspiring and sublime atmosphere, which is why it's normal to see artists looking for their muses, poets reciting their poetry and people reading in public. Plan your trip to Paris and discover all the charm this city has to offer.
Content provided by Lonely Planet
Paris - Practical Information
Paris is a compact, easily negotiated city. Twenty arrondissements (city districts) spiral clockwise from the centre and are important locators; their numbers are always included in addresses.
Each of Paris' arrondissements has a distinct personality. The 1er has plenty of sights but few residents, the 5e is studenty, the 7e full of ministries and embassies; the 10e was traditionally working-class but is now a trendy district in which to live, while the 16e is a bastion of the well-heeled. But the profiles are not always so cut and dried; the lay of the land becomes much clearer to visitors when they see the city as composed of named quartiers (quarters or neighbourhoods).
The mother of all museums is in the neighbourhood we call Louvre & Les Halles; if you are looking for Paris framed or under glass this is the district for you. Here you'll also find Les Arts Décoratifs devoted to applied arts, design and advertising; the Musée de Orangerie with its sublime impressionist collection; and the original bad boy of exhibition spaces, the Centre Pompidou.
For history and architecture on a grand scale, the Île de la Cité is your compass point, with Notre Dame, the Conciergerie and Ste-Chapelle all standing virtually side by side. For romance, though, cross the bridge east to Île de St-Louis or even south to the Latin Quarter. The students may be moving on to other quartiers and arrondissements, but intellectuals continue to pontificate in the cafés of the Quartier Latin and les avante-gardistes are still in control of the galleries and watering holes of the neighbouring St-Germain district.
There is no Paris without the Eiffel Tower, the most iconic of city icons, but the Champs-Élysées, with its landmark Arc de Triomphe at one end and the epic-proportioned place de la Concorde at the other, is a close second (though the offerings on the boulevard itself are now somewhat limited). Fans of haute couture should make the so-called Golden Triangle just south of the Champs-Élysées their prime destination. Those of more modest means but still with that urge to shop will head for the grands magazines (department stores) of the Grands Boulevards. And with its beautiful, Haussmann-era buildings, this district is for many visitors a reflection of the way they think Paris should look architecturally.
In search of the Paris of Central Casting, where everyone paints, wears a beret and sings to accordion music? Head up to Montmartre, the Paris of myth and films. Contiguous is Pigalle, the naughty red-light district that today looks pretty tame.
Party animals should set their sights on the Marais, Ménilmontant and/or Bastille; this is where Paris pulsates after dark. It's not a, err, hard-and-fast rule but to simplify, let's just say that the Marais is the playground of gays and lesbians, Ménilmontant offers what used to be called an alternative scene elsewhere (and still is here) and Bastille is today's quartier for some of the best music – be it live, canned or whistled in the metro – in town.
That's a claim to fame Montparnasse used to be able to make. But the brasseries and bistros where writers like Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald both worked and partied are now rather pricey eating establishments that attract foreigners and les faubourgeois (suburbanites) all in search of their own private Paris moment. For a taste – both sensual and metaphysical – of the Paris of today, head eastward to Chinatown. It's colourful, it's multiracial and it all tastes as good as it always did.
Budget &Costs
If you stay in a hostel, or in a room without a shower or a toilet in a bottom-end hotel, and have picnics rather than dining out, it is possible to stay in Paris for €50 a day per person. A couple staying in a two-star hotel and eating one cheap restaurant meal each day should count on spending at least €80 a day per person. Eating out frequently, ordering wine and treating yourself to any of the many luxuries on offer in Paris will increase these figures considerably.
Sample Prices
1L unleaded petrol: €1.30
1L bottles water: €5
Average bottle of wine: €8
Croissant & café au lait: €4
Souvenir T-shirt: €10-25
For up-to-date details on visa requirements, see the French Foreign Affairs Ministry site (www.diplomatie.gouv.fr) and click 'Going to France'.
EU nationals and citizens of Iceland, Norway and Switzerland need only a passport or a national identity card in order to enter France and stay in the country. However, nationals of the 12 countries that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 are subject to various limitations on living and working in France.
Citizens of Australia, Canada, Israel, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, the USA and many Latin American countries do not need visas to visit France as tourists for up to 90 days.
Other people wishing to come to France as tourists have to apply for a Schengen Visa, named after the agreements that abolished passport controls between 15 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. It allows unlimited travel throughout the entire zone for a 90-day period. Application should be made to the consulate of the country you are entering first, or that will be your main destination. Among other things, you will need travel and repatriation insurance and be able to show that you have sufficient funds to support yourself.
Tourist visas cannot be extended except in emergencies (such as medical problems). When your visa expires you'll need to leave and reapply from outside France.
Weights & Measures
Duty-free shopping within the EU was abolished in 1999; you cannot, for example, buy tax-free goods in, say, France and take them to the UK. However, you can still enter an EU country with duty-free items from countries outside the EU (eg Australia, the USA) where the usual allowances apply: 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 250g of loose tobacco; 2L of still wine and 1L of spirits; 50g of perfume and 250cc of eau de toilette.
Do not confuse these with duty-paid items (including alcohol and tobacco) bought at normal shops in another EU country (eg Spain or Germany) and brought into France, where certain goods might be more expensive. Here allowances are generous: 800 cigarettes, 200 cigars, 400 small cigars or 1kg of loose tobacco; and 10L of spirits (more than 22% alcohol by volume), 20L of fortified wine or aperitif, 90L of wine or 110L of beer.
Business Hour
Small businesses are open daily, except Sunday and sometimes Monday. Hours are usually 9am or 10am to 6.30pm or 7pm, often with a midday break from 1pm to 2pm or 2.30pm. Shops that are open on Monday usually get started late (eg at 11.30am).
Banks usually open from 8am or 9am to between 11.30am and 1pm, and then from 1.30pm or 2pm to 4.30pm or 5pm, Monday to Friday or Tuesday to Saturday. Exchange services may end 30 minutes before closing time.
Most post offices open 8am to 7pm weekdays and 8am or 9am till noon on Saturday.
Supermarkets open Monday to Saturday from 8.30am or 9am to 8pm, though a few now open on Sunday morning as well. Small food shops are mostly closed on Sunday and often Monday too, so Saturday afternoon may be your last chance to stock up on certain types of food (eg cheese) until Tuesday.
Restaurants keep the most convoluted hours of any business in Paris.
Most museums are closed one day a week, usually Monday or Tuesday. Some museums have a weekly nocturne in which they remain open until as late as 10pm, including the Louvre (Wednesday and Friday) and the Musée d'Orsay (Thursday).
There are no area codes in France – you always dial the 10-digit number. Telephone numbers in Paris always start with [tel] 01, unless the number is provided by an internet service provider (ISP), in which case it begins with [tel] 09. Mobile phones throughout France commence with either [tel] 06 or 07. France's country code is [tel] 33.
The domestic service des renseignements (directory enquiries or assistance) is now offered by over a dozen operators on six-digit numbers starting with [tel] 118 (France Télécom, for example, uses [tel] 118 712, Pages Jaunes uses [tel] 118 008). For a complete listing in French consult www.allo118.com. Expect to pay a minimum €1 per request. If you can read basic French, directory enquiries are best done via the Yellow Pages (www.pagesjaunes.fr; click on Pages Blanches for the White Pages), which will provide more information, including maps, for free. From a mobile phone, use the site http://mobile.pagesjaunes.fr.
Note that while numbers beginning with [tel] 0 800, 0 804, 0 805 and 0 809 are toll-free in France, other numbers beginning with '8' are not. For example (this list is by no means comprehensive), a number starting with [tel] 0 810 or 0 811 is charged at local rates (€0.078, then €0.028), one beginning with [tel] 0 820 or 0 821 costs €0.12 per minute, and if the prefix numbers are [tel] 0 890 it costs €0.15. The ubiquitous [tel] 0 892 numbers are billed at an expensive €0.45 per minute whenever you call. Numbers starting with [tel] 0 899 cost €1.35 per connection, then €0.34 per minute. Numbers beginning with [tel] 0 897 cost a flat €0.60 per call.
Most four-digit numbers starting with [tel] 10, 30 or 31 are free of charge.
To call abroad from Paris, dial France's international access code ([tel] 00), the country code, the area code (usually without the initial '0', if there is one) and the local number. International Direct Dial (IDD) calls to almost anywhere in the world can be placed from public telephones. The international reduced rate applies from 7pm to 8am weekdays and all day at the weekend.
For international directory enquiries, dial [tel] 3212. Note that the cost for this service is €3 per call.
Mobile Phones
You can use your smartphone or mobile phone (portable) in France provided it is GSM (the standard in Europe which is becoming increasingly common elsewhere) and tri-band or quad-band. It is a good idea to ensure it is 'unlocked', which means you can use another service provider while abroad. If you meet the requirements, you can check with your service provider about using it in France, but beware of calls being routed internationally, which can make a 'local' call very expensive indeed.
Rather than staying on your home network, it is usually more convenient to buy a local SIM card from a French provider such as Orange/France Telecom ([tel] 1014, outside France +33 1 41 43 79 40; www.orange.fr, in French), which will give you a local phone number. A SIM card with €5 calling time (nine minutes) plus a €5 recharge card costs €15. Throw a phone into the deal and it costs €29. The company www.callineurope.com offers good mobile phone packages for travellers to France and Europe.
For more time, buy a prepaid Mobicarte recharge card (€5 to €100) from tabacs (tobacconists), mobile phone outlets, supermarkets etc. Mobicartes from €25 upward offer extra talk time (€5 bonus for €25, €10 bonus for €35 etc). The biggest outlet is La Boutique Orange (16 place de la Madeleine, 8e; [hrs] 10am-7pm Mon-Sat; [metro] Madeleine). Other major service providers include SFR (http://international-travellers.sfr.fr) and Bouygues (www.bouyguestelecom.fr) .
Phone Codes
Although mobile phones and Skype (www.skype.com) may have killed off the need for public phones, they do still exist. In France they are all phonecard-operated, but in an emergency you can use your credit card to call. All public phones can receive both domestic and international calls. If you want someone to call you back, just give them France's country code and the 10-digit number, usually written after the words ' Ici le… ' or ' No d'appel ' on the tariff sheet or on a little sign inside the phone box. Remind them to drop the '0' from the initial '01' of the number. When there's an incoming call, the words ' décrochez – appel arrive ' (pick up receiver – incoming call) will appear in the LCD window.
Public telephones in Paris usually require a télécarte (phonecard; €7.50/15 for 50/120 calling units), which can be purchased at post offices, tabacs, supermarkets, SNCF ticket windows, metro stations and anywhere you see a blue sticker reading ' télécarte en vente ici ' (phonecard for sale here).
You can buy prepaid phonecards in France such as Allomundo (www.allomundo.com, in French) that are up to 60% cheaper for calling abroad than the standard télécarte. They're usually available in denominations of up to €15 from tabacs, newsagents, phone shops and other sales points, especially in ethnic areas such as rue du Faubourg St-Denis (10e), Chinatown (13e) and Belleville (19e and 20e). In general they're valid for two months, but the ones offering the most minutes for the least euros can expire in just a week.

Movie Review
Rated R for language and some violent images. 2 hours.
Publication date: Oct. 12, 2012
Review by Tyler Hanley
Released: (2012)
The Ben Affleck audiences discovered in the mid-1990s and early 2000s seemed to have the depth of a speed bump. He stumbled through cinematic missteps ("Forces of Nature") and laughable stinkers ("Gigli," "Reindeer Games"), with only the occasional gem. Now, the Affleck of old has been shed like an unwanted husk, and what remains is a sharp and thoughtful filmmaker who is still in the embryonic phase of a very impressive career. Sure, Affleck the actor is also along for the ride (and he fares well in "Argo"), but his skill behind the camera is what truly shines.
The harrowing true story is more compelling than anything Hollywood could dream up. The film's creative opening sheds some light on the strained political dynamic between Iran and the United States, leading up to an assault on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on Nov. 4, 1979. Fifty-two Americans are taken hostage as Iranian revolutionaries storm the embassy, but six Americans manage to escape amidst the turmoil and hide out in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor (Victor Garber).
Back in the U.S., CIA operative Jack O'Donnell (Bryan Cranston) tasks "exfiltration specialist" Tony Mendez (Affleck) with hatching a plan to get the six Americans safely out of Iran before their true identities and whereabouts are discovered. And what a plan it is. Mendez conceives of a faux movie production that would make the six part of his filmmaking team. Their excuse for being in Iran is location-scouting, naturally, as pre-production gets underway on "Argo," a Star Wars-esque fantasy film featuring exotic locales. Mendez even turns to Hollywood makeup artist John Chambers (John Goodman) and aging director Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) to make the "production" as authentic as possible. Should Mendez's ruse get discovered, it is more than likely that he and his six fellow Americans will all be killed (or worse -- tortured and killed).
"Argo" is a nail-biter from beginning to end, and easily one of the year's best films. The production values -- costuming, set design, cinematography and score -- are impressive throughout. Affleck and his crew do a phenomenal job capturing the time period and casting actors who both look like their real-life counterparts and have the thespian chops to hit all the right emotional notes (notable performances come from Arkin, Cranston and up-and-comer Scoot McNairy).
Affleck should be in line for an Academy Award nomination for Best Director, though it is still too early to say if he deserves to win. The strong screenplay includes great dialogue for the likes of Arkin and Cranston, but some "close call" moments leading up to and during the film's tense climax feel contrived. One of the film's many strengths is its ability to draw in the audience -- we often feel we are there with these people throughout the ordeal, for better or worse.
A goofy sci-fi film dubbed "Argo" never got made in 1980. Fortunately for moviegoers, a brilliant, Oscar-worthy drama/thriller of the same name did get made in 2012.

I guess I should have made it clear that I'm staying at my son's house. Bruno and Scarface are way too much dog for our house and garden. (See previous post). Much less for Chelsea to put up with. And also since we have these two staying with us for now.
These are two homeless kittens born next door under our neighbors shed. We'll keep one and my daughter is adopting one. (We will spay/neuter of course) Next job will be to catch the mother who is rather wild. We'll have her spayed and hopefully adopted out.
And finally a pic of my other "grandchild", Scarface.
He was a pound dog. Look at the gray on that muzzle. My son has had him for about 7 years now. Poor old guy is getting up there.
Today after work I get to go home to my house again. Can't wait. It's been a little mini vacation here but I'm ready for my hubbie, house, pets, and garden.

Here's a cold, hard fact: musicians don't get points for effort. If that was the case, Battles would be bigger than Oasis ever were, Chinese Democracy would have been frickin' amazing and the charts would be dominated, not by singers who made it through a few rounds of a TV talent show, but by bands who've, say, written some songs and played some gigs. If we lived in that world, this would be a very different article, because Maps & Atlases have clearly spent countless hours sweating over samplers and effects boards to make this, their second album. And in an ideal world they'd be given credit for the time they've spent and the energy they've exerted making Beware And Be Grateful, but here's another cold, hard fact: it's just not that enjoyable a listen.
You can put on Beware And Be Grateful and as you listen to opening track 'Old & Grey' you'll be thinking, 'Yes, those multi-tracked vocals have been awfully intricately interwoven, and those percussive samples have been remarkably precisely timed, and that clanging piano in the coda comes as quite a surprise'. But for all that the track will make you think on the first listen (and maybe on the second, but not the third) it will make you feel very little, and that's true of the whole record.
Maps & Atlases have a diverse array of textures and timbres at their disposal, but instead of creating a colourful new universe of sound for you to get lost in, you find yourself wondering what function each of these components is supposed to serve. The bobbing synth pattern on 'Fever', for example, sounds like it's trying to make you jump up and down with joy, but the rhythm section sounds so flat it's hard to find the energy. There's also something about the skittering funk of 'Be Three Years Old' that wants to get you grooving, but in trying to emulate Talking Heads' fusion of complexity and danceability, they've made a disco track with a beat that's impossible to find.
There are unfortunate flirtations with a number of global styles on Beware And Be Grateful. The flickering Spanish guitar of 'Bugs' is perhaps the least irritating example, but it still says 'holiday resort house band' more than it says 'genre-hopping musical pioneers'. 'Silver Self' is the worst offender, with five solid minutes of the same unpleasantly squelching tropical synth. The more straight-forward rock songs are disappointing too, with 'Vampires' sounding like the sort song a naff dad would drive around listening to during his midlife crisis, and 'Winter' simply sounding like Maroon 5 without even the wholesome enthusiasm.
The soulful, mournful pacing of closing track 'Important' at least shows some depth, though its intensity and atmosphere are somewhat undermined by David Davidson's elaborately gooey vocals. And so despite all the kooky, twee melodies that make up Beware And Be Grateful, despite the glossy production and multitudinous fragments of ideas that feature on it, even despite the fact that it's hard to think of another band that Maps & Atlases particularly sound like (maybe Grizzly Bear, a bit), this album fails the ultimate test – it's no fun. There's undoubtedly some clever stuff going on under its surface, but when it makes you feel nothing you have to wonder, what's the point?

text: Stunning and Magnificent. Two words that barely come close to describing the Apache Mesa Ranch. This is one of the most unique ranch properties available in the Western United States. Just outside of Abiquiu, NM, directly west of the famous Ghost Ranch and Lake Abiquiu. This location is unmatched for views, tranquility and privacy. This dramatic ranch borders National Wilderness and is surrounded with the red rock and vivid terrain that inspired Georgia O'keeffe, countless artists, writers and others from the creative class. Details of hand-hewn lumber and hand chiseled stone highlight thick adobe walls as Old Mexico is tastefully woven into this modern main house. Custom plaster, fireplaces, and artistic ceilings grace the property throughout. The details will amaze you in their perfection and performance as the famous Cerro Pedrenal Mountain watches diligently over the pool and spa from a distance. Guests will enjoy the same quality and details in the carriage house, guest house and studio buildings while enjoying endless landscapes speckled with grassy meadows, striking rock outcroppings, while enjoying the sweet spice of Pinon wood and sage drifting in the New Mexico air. Exercise your horses in the dressage-riding arena or ride along endless trails exploring the rolling high desert and mountain terrain in this Wild West fantasy.

Integrity Offers LLC necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 6 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
We have partnered with an industry 'guru' to develop a revolutionary line of beauty products. The first in the line is an eyelash enhancing serum. This is going to be HOT. Your design will be seen!
Women ages 18 - 54
The competitors for this product are RapidLash, LiLash, RevitaLash, Jan Marini and others.
We would like a simple, clean vine motif that is not too frilly, ornate or complicated. Pleas avoid an Asian feel.
For an example, go to AdvancedBeautyResearch.com and see the vine image to the right of the model.
Things to remember:
1. In addition to all marketing materials, this logo will need to be printed below the twist off cap of an eyeliner tube.
2. The tube will be matte silver
3. The typeface should be clear and obvious. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too frilly or overly girly.
4. Black only!
The concepts we are trying to convey are: growing, lush, healthy, safe
Feel free to experiment with both a vine image and a simpler image that gives the idea of a vine. What I mean is, if I were requesting an eyelash image (which I'm not) two ways to do it might be either an eye image with full, long, lush lashes OR simply one single long swooping lash. The important thing is what the logo says to the viewer!
Have fun and good luck!

SITKA, AK IRS Tax Stats
2010 Census Database
Get all these Census Demographics for every City, County, State, and more in 1 easy to use database.
SITKA, AK Income Tax Overview
The following tables break down the Income Tax Statistics into different Gross Income levels.
Adjusted Gross Income: Under $10,000 [1]
Adjusted Gross Income: $10,000 under $25,000
Adjusted Gross Income: $25,000 under $50,000
Adjusted Gross Income: $50,000 under $75,000
Adjusted Gross Income: $75,000 under $100,000
Adjusted Gross Income: $100,000 under $200,000
[1] Includes returns with adjusted gross deficit.
[2] Less deficit.
[3] Includes the Alaskan permanent fund, reported by residents of Alaska on Forms 1040A and 1040EZ's. This fund only applies to statistics in the U.S. totals, and the state of Alaska.
[4] "Itemized deductions" include any amounts reported by the taxpayer, even if they could not be used in computing "taxable income," the base on which the regular income tax was computed. Thus, total itemized deductions include amounts that did not have to be reported by taxpayers with no "adjusted gross income." (Adjusted gross income is the total from which these deductions would normally be subtracted.) In addition, if standard and itemized deductions were both reported on a tax return, the form of deduction actually used in computing income tax was the one used for the statistics. Therefore, if the standard deduction was the form of deduction used, the total reported for itemized deductions was excluded from the statistics. However, the component deductions were not similarly excluded. As a result, the number of returns and related amounts for the component deductions are slightly overstated in relation to the grand total shown for itemized deductions. These components are also overstated in relation to the total because there was a statutory limitation on the total of itemized deductions that could be claimed by certain high-income taxpayers. This limitation did not affect the component deductions, the sum of which therefore exceeded the total used in computing income tax.
[5] "Total tax credits" excludes the "earned income credit" which is shown separately.
[6] "Earned income credit" includes both the refundable and non-refundable portions. The non-refundable portion could reduce income tax and certain related taxes to zero. The earned income credit amounts in excess of total tax liability, or amounts when there was no tax liability at all, were refundable. See footnote 7 below for explanation of the refundable portion of the earned income credit.
[7] The refundable portion of the "earned income credit" equals "total income tax" minus the "earned income credit". If the result is negative, this amount is considered the refundable portion.
[8] "Income tax" is in general, the same as "income tax after credits" which was redefined in Tax Year 2000 to include the "alternative minimum tax (AMT)". Zip Code table "Income tax" differs from "total income tax" (in other tables) in that the Zip Code table "Income tax" is after the subtraction of all tax credits except the earned income credit. See footnote 6 and 7 above, for an explanation of the treatment of the earned income credit. "Income tax" reflects the amount reported on the tax return and is, therefore, before any examination or enforcement activities by the Internal Revenue Service. It represents the tax filer reported income tax liability that was payable to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
[9] For the Zip Code tables, "Total tax liability" differs from "Income tax," in that "Total tax liability" includes the taxes from recapture of certain prior-year credits, tax applicable to individual retirement arrangements (IRA's), Social Security taxes on self-employment income and on certain tip income, advanced earned income payments, household employment taxes, and certain "other taxes" listed in the Form 1040 instructions.
[10] Reflects payments to or withholdings made to "Total tax liability" (footnote 9). The amount the tax filer owes when the income tax return is filed.
[11] The amount of overpayments the tax filer requested to have refunded.

Purchasing Bulk CBD oil Capsules in Hawthorne basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Wholesale Bulk CBD oil Capsules produced by the plant.
Best Wholesale CBD Products
CBD oil Capsules are one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD Capsule wholesalers in Hawthorne need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil Capsule wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.
Buy Wholesale CBD Capsules in Hawthorne Nevada
Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your Bulk CBD Capsule Pills in Hawthorne Nevada, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. We offer bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of wholesale CBD oil products on the market.

Why Capsules CBD Pills Are Better Than Drops
Taking medicines is far from being a pleasure. Nonetheless, we have to put up with this whenever we get sick or when we have a chronic medical condition that requires ongoing treatment. While some people prefer drops, others would rather swallow a pill and move on with their life. Sometimes drops are better, because the active substance needs to be absorbed quickly into your system. There are situations when sublingual use is better than everything else. However, in other cases it's better to choose pills. When you have to deal with chronic pain, you may be happier with a slower relief. It's better to feel your pain fading away until it disappears completely, rather than switch from a state of striking pain to one of perfect relaxation within a split second. Gradual improvements are better perceived by the brain. It's hard to fool your brain into believing there nothing wrong in your body. Sudden chances are more difficult to believe, hence the need of a drug or substance with slower onset of action.
This is why, when it comes to CBD, it appears Capsules pills are better than drops. People suffering from fibromyalgia and other similar medical conditions require CBD to help them cope with the symptoms. Pain can reach incredibly high levels, making these people fall into depression. When you can't sleep at night because of your pains, you're going to develop chronic fatigue and many other symptoms that can severely affect your quality of life. This is where CBD can help you regain your good mood and your lust for living. Hemp CBD oil is legal across all states, so everybody can purchase it without worrying about getting in trouble with the law. However, marijuana-based CBD oil is not legal, so it could bring you troubles. Anyway, as long as you stick to a legal CBD form, you're going to be safe. Your main goal should be to find the form that works best for you.
As a matter of fact, Capsules CBD pills have the advantage of being tasteless. If you don't like the taste of these oily drops, you might have problems in taking your medication as required. By choosing pills, you'll have a much easier life, as swallowing them with a little water shouldn't make you nauseous. Pills are perfect for people who hate funny tastes. Besides, there are other advantages that make Capsules pills superior to drops, at least when it comes to CBD.
When you take drops, the effect of the active substance is almost instant. Drops are absorbed into your body much faster, so you're going to feel the effects almost instantly. You may have to wait for a few minutes, but this is all. On the other hand, by swallowing Capsules CBD pills, you may have to suffer a bit longer, but the effects are going to be long lasting. As the active ingredient is slowly released into your system, you start to gradually feel better. You won't need to repeat the treatment as often as in case of drops, because the gel takes more time to dissolve and get absorbed into your blood stream. As your mood improves, you're going to feel better. This slower improvement is better because it is perceived by your brain as being more natural. You won't feel this improvement as an artificial one as it happens in case of medicines with very fast onset of action.
Before trying CBD for the first time, it's good to spend some time to inform yourself on the benefits and the drawbacks of this treatment. As there are many fibromyalgia sufferers in the world, chances are you're going to find lots of online groups and communities sharing the same problems and concerns. These people use discussion forums to exchange ideas and information. By joining a few of them, you can find out what kind of medication you could try and what are the expected effects of each substance. In addition, you'll see what others believe about the various forms of CBD. You'll probably find many people claiming Capsules CBD pills are better than drops. If you don't believe it, you can always ask these people further questions. Besides, you should probably discuss with your doctor about your intention of taking CBD to manage your pain. Your doctor is the best person who can give you advice and who can watch you closely during the treatment. In case of emergency, you should contact your doctor for advice, so it's not a bad idea that he or she is always up to date with all supplements and medicines you intend to take.
Access to information is easier than ever before. This is the beauty of our modern world and of all technology breakthroughs. They enable us make an informed choice in almost everything in your lives.

Using CBD Pills To Treat Anxiety
A wide variety of components derived from cannabis have become legalized in many of the states here in America over the past few years. For many long years there has been a very strong stance against any level of the use of marijuana in the US which it is still a shock to many people how increasingly receptive the country is becoming too the different forms of marijuana use. recreational and medicinal acceptancehas become a trend that is taking hold like a run away train traveling across the country and creating revenues at an astounding rate as more and more patients register.
These social and political changes have opened the door to the highly sought after CBD Pills that contain huge medicinal benefits. Among the many wonderful CBD qualities for treating various ailments, anxiety is one of the conditions that can be treated through the use of these pills. It is a very interesting fact that there are a large number of patients that have sought their cards for medical marijuana use specifically for the purpose of treating their anxiety issues.
Many patients lives have been made so much better on a daily basis by having medical marijuana available on a daily basis. It is also an interesting thing to know that many people taking CBD pills are unaware that their anxiety is being treated in the process. There are people who use the wonderful product because it delivers feelings of relaxation and calmness, all without asking any questions or receiving a diagnosis from professional medical specialists.
Being free of the headaches and harassment from authorities has provided great relief by making it possible for people who suffer with anxiety and other medical conditions to take advantage of the help that they really need. Often, drinking alcohol was used as a remedy for feeling better but many times lead to a drunken state instead of relieving the actual ailments that someone would be experiencing. CBD pills do not have such a devastating consequences as drinking too much alcohol while trying to relieve disorders, especially the treatment of anxiety.
There are important differences that must be understood when comparing these pills with using a bong or joint to smoke the substance. The component in question is isolated for specific medical purposes and separately sold to meet those purposes. CBD is in no way the same as THC which is the active substance in cannabis that people are able to get high on. When the primary goal is treating anxiety, the risks of being high are eliminated through this wonderful alternative and to make it possible for a person to take care of the things that are important in their daily lives.
There is a large amount of documentation stating the many benefits CBD pills have for anxiety sufferers. A number of these patients suffer from other disorders such as PTSD at the same time that they are struggling with being anxious. The physical and mental feeling of being disoriented or "tweaking"is no issue with the use of pills or oils containing CBD because life goes on as normal in both professional and social settings.
Positive reports have poured in from patients that prefer using CBD as an alternative non pharmaceutical treatment for their anxiety condition. States that now allow medical use of legalized weed have done their studies regarding the use of this substance. The most advanced area of the country concerning this research is California because that state has had a great deal of more experience than the rest of the country.
Legalization has had a tremendous effect on the development of specific products geared toward many targeting different symptoms more directly and in a shorter amount of time. The mental and emotional benefits for people speaks volumes toward the ongoing acceptance across the countryfor curing post traumatic stress disorder, nauseous and anorexic conditions, and even agoraphobia.
CBD products are definitely the best choice for anyone seeking relief from any of the conditions mentioned without having to deal with the side effects of alcohol and other risks associated with dangerous pharmaceuticals and the drugs. Living a normal life without the misery of suffering from these ailments is very possible through the use of CBD oil or pills, including relief from anxiety. The benefits extend beyond just of the patient because others around them also recognize the difference.
If it is legal in your area, it would be a good idea to check into the use of CBD pills and what they can do for you and or the ones you love.

Last night marked the end of my tenure as President of the Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild.
When I first learned about the Modern Quilt Guild and discovered that there was not a chapter in my area, I decided to start one in February of 2010, never mind the fact that I didn't consider myself a quilter at that time. We had our first meeting that April, and it has been quite a ride since then. We started with maybe ten people at our first meeting, which was held in a small dark room at the back of a fabric store. The group then moved to the beautiful home of one of our members, who graciously hosted our meetings for over a year. Last year, with our membership growing, we moved to the Centennial Barn , which is now the home of the CMQG.
And look at the crowd last night! It was by far our biggest meeting to date, with at least 40 people in attendance. Through my involvement with the CMQG I began to make the time to work on my quilts, and as corny as it sounds, it has really changed by life. I can't imagine my life now without designing and making quilts. Being part of a community of incredibly talented women that fosters creativity is so inspiring, and I've learned that I am indeed a quilter, and I think I have been my whole life. I just needed a little jump start to get going.
I'm so proud of the work that has been done by our guild members, and I am excited to see how the guild continues to grow and thrive. It's an honor to be part of this group and I am happy to pass the torch to the new officers of the CMQG. And I'm ready to finally attend meetings now as just a member and not the leader!
