Rise in Texas Gas Prices Slows
By: GasBuddy.com
Updated: April 2, 2012
Including the change in gas prices in Texas during the past week, prices yesterday were 27.1 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 23.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 18.6 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 26.8 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"The national average has finally showed some signs of slowing down, and gasoline prices in dozens of areas have virtually stabilized after rising for two to three consecutive weeks," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "The rally in gasoline prices started in March, we could have dubbed it March Madness, to coincide with the flurry of college basketball games, but as the tournament winds down, gasoline prices too have slowed their increase, and maybe- just maybe- gasoline prices are closer to a peak than we initially expected," DeHaan said, noting that GasBuddy last week revised it's gasoline price forecast slightly higher.

The views of an underground car park is not nice, also you may not obscure the apartment, it is bright even at night! It lacks a hook for the shower!
Der Ausblick auf eine Tiefgarage ist nicht schön, außerdem kann man die Wohnung gar nicht verdunkeln, es ist auch in der Nacht hell! Es fehlt ein Haken für die Duschbrause!
Nice and clean apartment with good transport links to Central Berlin. Timely reception by a staff of house service. A little noise in addition to the parking you in a big city in purchase must take. We will visit you again!
Schöne und saubere Wohnung mit guten Verkehrsverbindung zum Berliner Zentrum. Pünktlicher Empfang durch einen netten Hausservicemitarbeiter. Ein bischen störende geräusche von nebenliegendem Parkplatz die man eben in einer Grossstadt in kauf nehmen muss. Wir werden Sie gerne wieder besuchen!
A very beautiful and practically furnished apartment conveniently. Good bus service (line 245) towards the main station and Zoologischer Garten. Shopping facilities in the vicinity including ALDI and REWE. Parking in the Tiefgarage.Kleiner downside: sometimes in the morning quite loud delivery transport of adjacent shops.
Eine sehr schön und praktisch eingerichtete Wohnung in verkehrsgünstiger Lage. Gute Busverbindung (Linie 245)Richtung Hauptbahnhof und Zoologischer Garten. Einkaufsmöglichkeit in der Nähe u.a. ALDI und REWE. Parkmöglichkeit in der Tiefgarage. Kleiner Nachteil: Manchmal morgens recht lauter Anlieferverkehr der anliegenden Geschäfte.
Internet advertised was not available. It is essential that wiFi be offered in all apartments you sponsor. No provision of any cooling, except opening the windows and very noisy in early morning with truck/lorry deliveries to supermarkets. Concierge did not speak english. Very spacious and excellent... kitchen and bathroom, but hand held shower only. Excellent space and access for vehicle. Public transport excellent with 245 bus to Zoogarten Hbf
The apartment is nice and quiet. Is located near a large REWE and ALDI are just 2 minutes on foot. For this, I give 5 stars.
Die Wohnung ist schön und ruhig. In der Nähe liegt eine grosse REWE und ALDI nur 2 Minuten zu Fuss gehen. Dafür gebe ich 5 Sterne .
Really great apartment, great location, no problems.

Dunners wrote:Have people sign up and pay a specified amount so that you buy all the materials. I would only offer the one item for the class, everyone does the one thing (in your case pockets), same colour PUL & microfleece and all Remember it's concepts you're teaching - the fitted lady can do the same thing at home with fabrics to make fitteds - you're just teaching her the steps KWIM?
If you have 4 possibles, you might be able to offer 2 PUL colours but then 7 might want the same colour (I actually think that 6 in the class would be about right, 10 you might be a little busy, not to mention needing space to house the tables, machines, etc). Are people bringing their machines or using yours? You'll need to consider things like tables, chairs, power points, extension cords, multi boards.
.Do you have a limited time frame? If you do: cut the fabric up into nappy cuts, premeasure the elastic for each nappy for them to work with, count out the snaps, or premeasure velcro etc. and give it to them in a wee kit. Provide multiple patterns (maybe one in each kit) to trace from to speed up the cutting out process (which can be very slow). I would also provide "made up" nappies show each of the steps
I wouldn't bother with inserts - they can stuff it with a folded flat nappy Most people have them - even sposie users
I would personally encourage snaps - but I reckon I could get away with that because there are so many presses here in Chc that if someone wanted to make lots of nappies there would be plenty of presses to access (including one at Bumbles). However, if the ladies you're working with are from all over the show, that may not be so convenient - in which case yes, I'd use velcro.
Depending on the time you have available, you might not have the time to demonstrate each step (but I wouldn't count on it). Hopefully the range of skills will be there so that a lady or two catch on really quickly and zip ahead, then can show some others what to do. (or at least that's my style).
Gosh, I'm really excited for you! What an awesome project to have!
Dunners wrote: Would love to come & help It would be great fun! Maybe I should just make on happen here? (I really do miss some parts of teaching - love the buzz of someone catching on and doing it for themselves )

Artist du Jour: Rebecca Shaw
Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Rebecca Shaw. I am a mother, wife, sister, daughter, surfer, and vegetarian. I can't bring myself to be so bold as to call myself an artist so I will say I am an individual who has a passion for creating. To be specific I love printmaking and to be even more specific I love to print on fabric. I have over the past few years started to sew and print linen pillows. In the very near future I will add "upcycled" thrift and antique store textiles to my material repertoire.
When did you discover your creative side?
Growing up mom always had a bag of acrylic paint, a basket of fabric, a sewing machine, and a big cross stitch hoop. She would cross stitch for gifts, sew out of necessity, and paint for pure joy. I have always had ideas in my head. I see old boards on the side of the road, old crab pots, and especially worn textiles and fabrics and my mind starts racing with all of the possibilities.
Describe your work in 3 words…
Relaxed, Hand-made, Coastal
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
A year or so ago I heard someone say…." Don't forget…. THESE are the good ole days". That quote immediately puts things into perspective to me. People never really think of the present as being the future good ole days. If you can take that in, it really makes you live for the moment instead of trying to figure out how It's all going to end up.
Name three things you absolutely will not, can not live without.
My family goes without saying. Other than that I require a daily soy caramel latte, my surfboard is like a Prozac pill would be to some people, and my ipod is critical (I constantly listen to music).
What super power would you have and why?
If I could have any super power I would be a mermaid. I would swim with dolphins, help keep the ocean clean, and my daughter would think I was the coolest mom EVER!
Where can we find you?
I am in the very beginning stages so for now the list is short…
and in The Artful Living Group in Carolina Beach

Adoption Stories
By: Leah Kirstein
Updated: November 2, 2012
CLEARFIELD COUNTY - Zaden Thomas was an only child wishing for brothers and sisters. In 2008, his wish came true when his then foster brothers Devon and Colin came to live with them.
Four years later, Devon and Colin were officially adopted by the Thomas family.
Devon said " I was happy and excited to live in a home where they could care for me. "
Colin adds, " I have a mother and father now and I am happy with my new last name".
Zaden said " I was so excited to have two brothers".
In Clearfield County, adoption and foster agencies hope hosting an Adoption Fair at the DuBois Diner from 12:00 - 4:00 on Saturday will help answer peoples' questions about adoption and ultimately create more stories like the Thomas's.

This Day in 1912 in The Record: Nov. 20, 1912
Wednesday, Nov. 20, 1912. A deputy sheriff has a tense encounter with a "plucky maiden" armed with a shotgun in Sand Lake today, but a Record reporter finds the story pretty amusing after the fact.
Deputy Cris Crape is assigned to retrieve a calf taken by mistake from John Hinkle's farm. "Mr. Hinkle pastures cattle for neighbors," our writer explains, "and among the stock so taken care of was a calf belonging to a family living near the lake. By mistake when the owner of this calf sent for it, one owned by Mr. Hinkle, a blooded animal, was taken instead."
When Hinkle realizes the mistake the other family is reluctant to acknowledge it, insisting that the calf now in their possession was theirs all along. Hinkle gets a search warrant and Crape is sent to the other family's farm. The name of the other family is being withheld on the understanding that no legal action will be taken, despite the following episode.
When the deputy reaches the farm, "he found that there was no one at home except a girl, the daughter in the family. The deputy made known the nature of his errand and asked where the calf could be found. He received the prompt answer that he could neither find the calf nor have it should he find it, and he was ordered off the place by the girl.
"The deputy laughed at the girl's command and sought to reason with her, saying he was an officer with a warrant and had a right to seek and take the calf. She replied that she didn't know who he was and didn't care, and that if he attempted to take any stock from the farm she would shoot him."
Crape isn't laughing after the girl produces a shotgun from behind the barn door. "The thought of being bluffed by a slip of a girl even though she had a shot gun pointed at him was very disagreeable to the veteran deputy and sportsman," our writer observes.
Using psychology, Crape tries reasoning with the girl while edging slowly closer to her, arguing that "even a blooded calf was not an adequate price for a human life, or even for lodging a load of buckshot in an official body."
At "what dramatists call the psychological moment," Crape makes a "gallant dash" and wrests the shotgun from the girl. It's not enough to stop her from racing back into the barn and bringing out a kicking colt. After dodging its hooves Crape manages to capture both girl and horse before returning the blooded calf to its rightful owner.

Kids, ages one - 12, waited patiently in line with their baskets before being turned loose for the ultimate egg scramble on the fields at Harmon park. With lightening speed and precision, egg hunters scooped up the 3,000 candy-filled eggs left for them by the church. Some lucky children even found special eggs which entitled them to extra prizes and one lucky child from every age group received a large Easter basket. Every child also had an opportunity to meet the Easter Bunny who also made an appearance.

Letter to the Editor: Plenty to learn from Geauga Park District levy
Geauga County Issue 28 passed on Nov. 6 by a margin of 55 percent to 45 percent! The Geauga Park District should be very grateful that its lavish campaign paid off in the end.
What is noteworthy about this experience for the electorate, Geauga Park District commissioners and Geauga Park District employees is that it has provided a wondrous opportunity for everyone to grow and learn.
We trust that the electorate has had plenty of time to examine the real issues and the confusion of language and syntax as they examine other issues that will come down the pike.
We honestly believe that Geauga Park employees have come to understand that this county, as well as this nation, is deeply divided about spending unnecessary funds that have the potential to create a privileged class on the backs of the voters.
Most importantly, we are sure that the Geauga park commissioners have had the light bulb grow bright as they examine the importance of trust, credibility and answerability to the voters. They have temporarily won their most fervent current wish — continued funding through 2019. With this vote, however, comes the responsibility of maintaining transparency and the willingness to be under the microscope.
The Geauga Park District has promised not to replace or renew a financial issue in 2013. We look forward to their commitment to this promise. We are certain that there will be requests for more funding as other Geauga Park levies expire before 2019, so integrity, honor, accountability and transparency become the highest priorities.
Therefore, please know, Geauga Park District, that you have awakened a new segment of Geauga voters who are delighted to help you maintain your integrity, credibility and transparency by monitoring your fiscal activities on a continual basis. We are delighted to help you understand that "Promises Made (must be) Promises Kept!"
We are exhilarated by this opportunity to improve and grow, as we know that you are! We look forward to the ride with you!

Nissan DeltaWing tests at Road Atlanta
The experimental Nissan DeltaWing racecar will be back in action during the finale of the American Le Mans Series race at Road Atlanta on Oct. 17-20.
It will be piloted by Nissan's first GT Academy champion, Lucas Ordonez, and ALMS 2011 PC-class champion Gunnar Jeannette.
The Nissan DeltaWing is powered by a 1.6-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, making 300 hp. Its dartlike shape allows it to race with less aerodynamic drag, and lower fuel consumption than the competition. It's capable of a 199 mph top speed.
Here are two minutes of the prototype practicing at Road Atlanta.

Seriously.... WTF is up with the EMP now?
Like (1)
Ok... Twice I've deployed it and now TWICE the enemy went unharmed....... Literally, right after I deployed it, I hear "enemy has EMP'd us!"
The weird thing is that after I deployed the EMP, I hear "Enemy has a UAV"... And I visually saw it in the sky.
Wait... It gets better!
Right after I see their EMP-proof UAV, I hear, "The enemy has EMP'd us!"....... To which I noticed the Cobra we had in the air was still there, so obviously that didn't work either.
So WHAT THE F**K IW? It used to work fine!?
Are we going backwards? Are you taking a page from Microsoft's "Maybe if we introduce more bugs, they'll forget about the old ones" solution manual?
There's a perk for that.
Nerf overpowered EMPs.
60 seconds? Can't use MOAB while it's up?
******* welfare killstreak ******* bitching about their killstreaks make me lawl.
Get bent.
Troll on.
if you are EMPd, you cant use point streaks even if you use Assassin Pro. i used to try to do that every now and then cuz i forget that i have Assassin Pro on and i wonder why none of my streaks were working.
EMP's are OP. Just imagine, you've got the hardest killstreak, the Osprey Gunner. Call it in, and a little support noob kid just call in his EMP, and man, you're done! Ridiculous...
lol I did this once
I only use the EMP to take out Killstreaks. If I don't have an EMP I use my stinger. Either way, your air support is eating dirt.
With you on this one, I love using the EMP to take out any heavy stuff after someone has worked so hard to get it, if thats not available then the stinger will work for me instead, will get myself killed on purpose just to take out any air support the opposing team throws out,not only because i like doing so but because you do get some massive points in the process,
EXACTLY, It's disappointing that you only get 2 shots. And that Scavenger doesn't refill the Stinger's ammo.. But that's what the suicide grenade is for
Do you know that if you call in am emp the moment they try and use a stealth bomber it will destroy the bomber before it can make its run. I did this a few times and thought it was a nice effect of the emp. Stop a bomber dead in it tracks which let my team get the cap and the win because of it.

Yep, had this happen to me for the first time last night. i was wondering where the boom went!
i was a sad panda.
itd be hilarious if the stealth bomber still crash landed into the map (as it should)
Sorry but 90% of the players who get to that kill streak are camping for kills and not playing the objective anyway. Most of the time I run my assault streak (pred,chopper,ah-6) but If I'm in a tough game I'm going support streak. It's called adapting and it's far from nooby.If you stick with deathmatch, you won't see as much support streaks.
To th OP, Yes I've noticed the same thing, been on both sides of it as well. I think it's a bug, but it rarely happens so doesn't bother me too much. Think It might have something to do with lag.
Never had an issue...just play the game and kill people.
I always seem to get EMP'd just as I've called for my care package -_-'
got chain emp'd for 3 minutes of downturn once, was annoying but not game breaking!
The people that **** air are the ones that can never form enough kills to get any assault or specialist points.
I am super thankful when people shoot down enemy air support, I do it if i can, i'll switch classes if i need to.
and you sir are an idiot if you don't even try to take out air support if you can.
RYKINxx wrote:

This is one of the dumbest statements I've seen on here yet. You tell me who's the bigger noob the guy who takes out air support asap or the guy who keeps getting killed by it? Just can't win with you kids. Your a noob if you take down air support, but I bet when your air support is smashing the other team your calling them stupid noobs for not taking it down with your smug grin thinking how good you are, Then you're also a noob if you use blind eye.So basically it boils down to a race to get the kill streak first. Nothing else matters, everything else is being a noob. lol
EMP provides a timeout if you're being pounded by the opposing team. If you run Assassin Pro, then the ONLY thing it inhibits is your air support. You still have your sights and your map/readout.
People are really that upset over losing their air support for ONE MINUTE? As far as how long it lasts versus match time; I've seen matches last only a few minutes to begin with and I've been in wars of attrition that I felt would never end.
By the time most reach 17-18 kills, they've been pounded to death by predator missiles, cobras and only God knows what else.... So the fact people are crying so much about an EMP that lasts for one minute is absolutely ridiculous. It's not like it completely wipes out your reward (Unless it's in the air of course). After the one minute mark, you're free to resume the barrage.
And for the record, I personally play all three classes. I pick the one that best suits the gameplay.
@RYKINxx - Opposing opinions are part of every conversation, but there's no need to be a d*ckhead about it. Sh*t talking keyboard heros are bottom feeders that try to suck the rest of us into their misery. Please take it to another post or even forum for that matter. I started this thread to voice a concern about a problem, not to receive unproductive vomit from lonely trolls seeking attention.
EDIT:: Actually RYKINNxx - I checked out your history and see that's ALL you do. You jump in a thread to vomit your worthless, unproductive, infantile point of view. You seemed to be obsessed with "****" as you use that word in more posts than you don't.... Maybe you're in denial? I'm sorry if you're haunted by compulsions you have issues controlling. There's help for that. Maybe you should be on those forums seeking advice?
This made my day, haha
i think the EMP should be 30-45 seconds max, but i run assassin pro almost exclusively now bc of the UAV spam so it isn't a big deal. a bit annoying to miss out on points earned from killstreaks i can't call in, but as long as we get the win it's fine

yeah this is the only issues i have so far, it's fine recording 720p to SD card, but not 1080p, the playback is choppy and jumpy, unwatchable at all
I'm pretty sure it's not SD card problem since i insert it into my galaxy s3 and it's recording 1080p video just fine
I don't know if it's Nokia issue or WP8 issue, I hope this issue will be fixed soon with firmware update - 12-25-2012, 03:12 AM #5
Get a class 10 and check. Maybe its the software bug or the card. Get the fastest card you can for the phone.
I personally have a Class 4 SD Card (found out after I posted), but another user has a Class 10 and experiencing the same issues.
I hope it's a software bug. I can't take the next photo without waiting 3-4s for the photo to finish processing/saving. - 12-25-2012, 06:02 AM #8
I checked 810 and 822 forum and there are a lot of user experiencing this issues as well
Camera lag :
810 Camera Lag?
Slow shutter/focus... grr
Delayed camera issues
822 camera
Choppy and jumpy videos :
Windows Phone 8 - Lumia 822 - Video recording - Micro SD Card issues
Either this is Nokia issues or WP8 issues, hope it will be fixed soon with a firmware update - 12-25-2012, 10:53 AM #9
My L810 is working pretty good, 1080p videos to my 32 SD card play back just fine. The camera isn't all that bad either I took some pics yesterday morning and they came out pretty good. The only issue I have is 1080p videos not uploading to Skydrive, that's why I got the 810 for the added storage so I don't have to worry about videos going to the server to save space.
I noticed that this phone has trouble with .mp4 files at higher resolutions whether it be 720 or 1080. The only way for me to get good quality playback is to let the PC convert the file to .wmv, like .ts files that are recorded from the TV to PC. My Simpsons episodes look sharp and crisp with zero stutter.
I have the same music playback issue as Narr, but only if its on shuffle. Selecting a particular album, or song, or artist - no problems. What I did notice that before when I used a class 6 card instead of a class 10 then the unresponsiveness was for longer. If I record 1080p onto the memory card I get bumpy videos, and as a result I have to record on the phone and then move it across. Not ideal, but what to do...
The photo-lag is getting worst. I only have 29 photos on my SD card, but it's taking apprx 5-6 seconds to finish processing. The HTC 8X is suddenly appealing to me. No external memory woes.
Edit: 920 is too big, and 8X is going off pretty cheap here. - 12-27-2012, 08:30 AM #18

Microwavable Meal Starters Feature Authentic Mexican Flavors
The flavors of Mexico come alive with two ethnic products introduced by Austin, Minn.-based Hormel Foods.
The Dona Maria brand, known for its authentic Mexican flavors and convenient products, introduces Platillos, a line of Mexican meal starters and the perfect accompaniment to rice or warm tortillas. These microwavable meal starters heat in just 90 seconds, while still providing slow-cooked authentic taste and flavor. Varieties include: Chicken with Mole; Pork with Salsa Verde and Meatballs with Chipotle Sauce.
Another option from Hormel Foods is Bufalo Salsa para Botanas, a hot sauce for spicing up a main dish or for use in a dip. It is made from two chile varieties that combine to create a bold taste, primarily used with chips or pork skins. The authentic heat and flavor is from the guajillo and the arbol, two intensely hot chiles used in Mexican cooking.
Suggested retail price for a 10-ounce portion of Platillos is $2.99. Bufalo is 99 cents for 12.3 ounces and $1.99 for 33.8 ounces.

Weird stuff at the Woodward Dream Cruise -- photo gallery
Some Dream Cruise rides simply defy classification; they're still fun to look at, though
Auto scribes and enthusiasts are lining the street at the Woodward Dream Cruise, and every now and then something rolls by that makes us all go, "huh?" They're the weird, whack-job rides, the hobby cars of the slightly demented, that make a Motor City appearance the third weekend in August before scurrying back into the garage.
There are enough strange cars on the Avenue to fill ten posts, so be sure to check out our entire Woodward Dream Cruise photo gallery for more weird customs.
The Woodward Dream Cruise is a celebration of Detroit's golden age and all things automotive, but the event as we know it today was born in 1995. As we prepare for the Woodward Dream Cruise, we'll be looking back at coverage from past years and keeping you up to date on the latest news. Whether you're looking for Dream Cruise photos, a bit of Woodward Dream Cruise history or recommended hotels and restaurants near Woodward, you'll find it all in Autoweek's Woodward Dream Cruise section.

This post, obviously, discusses plot points from Skyfall.
I. The Bulldog
Skyfall is supremely British movie. M writes Bond's obituary with a bottle of whiskey and a china bulldog painted to look like the Union Jack as company at her desk. After the bombing of MI6 headquarters, Bond grouses "The whole office goes up in smoke and that bloody thing survives?" "Your interior decorating tips are always appreciated," M tells him tartly. When MI6 relocates, it's to Winston Churchill's old bunker: "Quite fascinating, if it wasn't for the rats," M's aide Tanner (Rory Kinnear) says. During a free-associative exercise as part of his field assessment, Bond's asked to respond to the world "Country." His immediate response, of course, is "England." When he and M return to Skyfall, the family estate Bond hasn't visited since he left for school, they're met by a fabulous old-school retainer, Kincade. "Some men are coming to kill us. We're going to kill them first," Bond informs him. "Then we'd better get ready," Kincade replies stoutly. When the first henchman meets Kincade's shotgun, he dispatches the man with a hearty "Welcome to Scotland." Even the language of daily conversation feels more staunchly English than usual, whether it's Bond telling M "Just changing carriages," as the back half of a train is violently torn away behind him, or M sourly suggesting, on Bond's return from a long absence that "I suppose they ran out of drink where you were."
That vigorous emphasis on cultural signifiers of British national character makes sense. Skyfall is a film that's explicitly concerned with the blowback to British imperialism, and implicitly structured to bridge the gap between the UK's two great contributions to spy culture: the bureaucratic knife-fight and the secret agent with the Walther PPK.
"England. The Empire. MI6. You're living in a ruin," Skyfall's antagonist, Silva (Javier Bardem) tells Bond when he finally arrives on-screen. Much more so than a traditional Bond film villain, Silva is a photo-negative of Bond, a man whose faith in MI6 has been shattered, who abandoned British soil to live on a Japanese island that looks like a dreamscape in Inception, complete with a tumbled Ozymandian statue, who wears white and cream to Bond's black, who fights his battles with server farms instead of his fists, and whose sexual ominvorousness extends even beyond Bond's own. It's possible he's meant as an allusion to Julian Assange, who recently caused the UK some measure of annoyance, in both physical presentation and weapon of choice. But Skyfall makes the interesting choice to give Silva grievances against his government more legitimate than any Assange suffered personally. When M ran him as an agent in Hong Kong during the transition of control from the British to China, she handed him over to the Chinese government after he was discovered doing offensive hacking outside his brief. "I got six agents in return, and a peaceful transition," M explains to Bond without sentiment. Silva was tortured, and when he tried to take his cyanide capsule, it failed to kill him. "Life clung to me like a disease," Silva tells her, revealing the destruction of his dental plate, the ruined face he conceals with prosthetics. "Do you know what hydrogen cyanide does to you? Look upon your work." Hong Kong isn't the only element of British foreign policy history that Skyfall alludes to: as Silva stalks M through London, the movie brings up the dreadful specter of that city's subway bombings. Who needs doomsday devices when you have reality?
The chase ends, where it has to, in a Parliamentary hearing room at Westminster. John Le Carre, the creator of some of the greatest heroes of bureaucratic British spydom, has explained that he dislikes James Bond because "It seems to me he's more some kind of international gangster with, as it is said, a license to kill… he's a man entirely out of the political context." Much of the best of British spy fiction has responded to Bond in the same way, from George Smiley's disinfection of the Circus, to the men and women working inside the Grid in Spooks. And among the other work of the Daniel Craig era in the Bond franchise has been the reconciliation of that "international gangster" with British politics and bureaucracy. In Casino Royale, M is disgusted at being called in to testify as to Bond's conduct after he shoots up an embassy in Africa, both because she has to deal with the oversight, and because Bond's given Parliament reason to demand it:
Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, ass-covering prigs? They don't care what we do; they care what we get photographed doing. And how the hell could Bond be so stupid? I give him double-O status and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy. Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he? In the old days if an agent did something that embarrassing he'd have a good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War.
In Skyfall, she's back at it again, this time on even more serious grounds. After Bond fails to stop Patrice, a terrorist who managed to steal the encrypted identities of NATO agents embedded in terrorist organizations, M finds herself called to heel by Mallory (Ralph Feinnes), a former soldier-turned bureaucrat. "Are we to call this civilian oversight?" M asks him. "We call it retirement planning," he tells her. "I'm here to oversee the transition period leading to your voluntary retirement in two months' time." After those agents are unmasked and begin to be killed, M is called before an inquiry to explain herself, an act that both makes Bond and his colleagues answerable to a political context and gives M an opportunity to explain why the kind of political context Le Carre called for is less clear-cut in a post-Cold War era. "Our enemies are no longer known to us," she tells the minister. "They don't exist on a map. our world is not more transparent, now. It's more opaque. That's where we have to fight. In the shadows." As Silva makes his murderous way towards her, she quotes Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "Ulysses":
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Officers discovered 11.39 grams of pot after searching the rapper and his tour bus. That's a lot of Khalifa kush! Wiz was cited and released, and is required to appear in court at a later date.
On April 21 Wiz was caught with weed in Nashville after cops received complaints about a strong odor of marijuana at a local Holiday Inn. When officers arrived to the scene, they found none other then Wiz Khalifa just finishing up a joint. Wiz allegedly tossed the "marijuana cigarette" out of the window. Most people would have done that before opening the door for a stranger, let alone a cop. That probably wasn't his best high-dea.
According to the report, Cops say they recovered the item, and Wiz eventually admitted the joint was his and said he had 2.7 grams of weed in his pocket.
Wiz, who's VERY open about his marijuana use, was hit with a citation for that as well. But that won't stop Wiz from being Wiz. He most likely smoked more weed as soon as he left the station!
