Morocoo is going to pot! Rabat eyes giving hashish legalization law the "green" light
Moroccan farmers, many who are impoverished and under the mercy of drug lords, rely on profits from cannabis cultivation as their main source of income due to poor soil conditions that make growing other crops in the area nearly impossible (File Archive)

One of the notorious hashish capitals of the region-and the world-is considering going "green" officially-and legally.
According to the Associated Press, one of Morocco's main political parties, the Party for Authenticity and Modernity, initiated steps Wednesday to legalize pot under law.
The North African country supplies more than 42 percent of the world's "high" according to UN figures, with most of its cannabis crop consumed in Europe.
For Moroccans, however, legalizing pot is not just about lightin' up and then some. The cultivation and export of cannabis is a critical cornerstone of small farmers' incomes and the country's economy overall.
According to Milouda Hazib, the head of the Party for Authenticity and Modernity's parliamentary delegation, more than 1 million Moroccans make their living from growing the cannabis crop. "We are not seeking to legalize the production of drugs, but to search for possible medical and industrial uses of this plant and create an alternative economy in the region," she said.
For many farmers in Morocco's Rif Mountains, who represents some of the most impoverished individuals in the country, cannabis is one of the few crops that thrive in the area's poor soil conditions. Attempts to grow other plants have often failed, forcing farmers in the area to rely on the contentious green as their main source of income.
The party and allied lawmakers also hope that legalizing pot will curb drug lords' activity in the country.
"Security policies aren't solving the problem because it's an economic and social issue so PAM is trying to find a credible alternative," said party member Mehdi Bensaid. "We think this crop can become an important economic resource for Morocco and the citizens of this region."
Bensaid and other party members hope that Morocco will follow in the cannabis footsteps of countries such as Switzerland who have used marijuana and other forms of hashish for medical and industrial purposes. The next challenge for the party, however, is recruiting other parties to join the pot policy parade and legalizing cannabis cultivation under law by next year, according to Bensaid.Many parties, such as Morocco's moderate Islamist party, have already come out in support of the legalizing legislation, but it is not yet clear what additional hurdles and scrutiny the proposal will face from other members of parliament due to potential sanctions the country may face from the UN if pot is legalized for recreational use under the 1961 drug control treaty. However, the treaty does provide reprieve for "legal and industrial applications" related to the legalization of pot.
Morocco's marijuana-growing exploded in the 1960s due to rising demand in Europe, and previously was grown under colonial authority as a way to "rebel" against the country's foreign leadership.

As a bookworm, I've really grown to like the Scroll Bookshelf designed by Xin-Hung Lin, Pei-Yi Chiu, Chia-Rung Shu and Wung-Bing Lin.
Think of the Scroll Bookshelf as a modernized manuscript -- but with a designer's touch. The unit opens up revealing a sturdy plastic sleeve that provides traction for your books. The two end rolls hold the books in place for extra security. What's really neat about this little shelf is that the ends can actually open up if you want to store pens or any miniature object that you don't want people to find.
The Scroll Bookshelf is a clever piece that compliments the modern home beautifully. Bookworms will have no problem enjoying this practical, multi-functional design that will hold all their favorite classics in style.

BRUSSELS (Dec. 20)
The use of a large workshop in Antwerp for the overhaul of British "surplus" war materiel and its transshipment from that port to Egypt was denounced today by the vast majority of the Belgian press. Egyptian officers are in Antwerp supervising the repair and shipment of the war supplies, which was originally sold to British scrap dealers for conversion to civilian uses.
Until now the Belgian Government, which is fully aware of the nature of the operation, has done nothing to interfere with this "commercial" arrangement. The goods arrive from Britain "in transit" and leave Belgium on export licenses which describe the shipments as "agricultural material." Unless either the British or Belgian Governments intervene, the large-scale flow of British surplus arms will continue.
The various items are refurbished by arms specialists in the employ of the Zellick Company. The plant is strictly off limits to the press and one news photographer who attempted to take a picture was warned off with the threat that if he snapped the shutter his camera would be destroyed.

I recently had a new website designed for our business. When we decided on the layout of the site we didn't actually focus on ranking the site. I recently contacted an SEO company but they said they would not work on the site unless we redesigned it and that it would never rank. The niche we're in isn't very competitive and location wise wouldn't be very competitive either (Ireland) so I was wondering if what this company is telling me is true?! The site address is [removed]. I know the site has not got a lot of content but we are adding to the blog and will continue to add content where possible. Any advice is appreciated and I would love to know if this guy was trying to con me or telling me the truth because I put a great deal of effort into the layout of the site. Thank!

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Fishing Report
by ODFW
ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Recent warm weather has likely opened access to the reservoir. Angling for 14-18 inch carryover rainbow trout should be fair to good. Check with Ochoco National Forest 541-416-6500 for current conditions.
CLEAR LAKE: Located about 20 miles west of Maupin. Access may be difficult due to snow.
CRESCENT LAKE: The north Forest Service boat ramp is now accessible. Angling over the weekend was reportedly slow. March and April are typically good months to target brown trout and kokanee; access permitting. Trolling the shoreline areas in 15 feet of water with a variety of lures has been a successful technique during the past two weeks.
CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Stream flows are approximately 250 CFS and should remain fairly stable through the spring and summer. Angling conditions are favorable, however, reports suggest the trout population continues to be down. Opportunities for whitefish are excellent. CULTUS LAKE: Cultus Lake is now accessible with a limited amount of open water around the boat ramp. Spring is an excellent time to fish for lake trout at Cultus.
DAVIS LAKE: Davis Lake is accessible. No report on angler success.
DESCHUTES RIVER: Dry fly fishing has been slow; anglers should look at using nymphing tactics in the slow water areas. DESCHUTES RIVER- Lake Billy Chinook to Benham Falls: No anglers were observed on the river to as basis for a report.

RUFC - Sharps 'We Are NOT Safe Yet'
Rotherham United defender, and acting skipper, Ian Sharps, has sent out a warning to the optimists who are already thinking that the Millers are free from relegation. A couple of weeks ago he Millers were sixteen points above Bournemouth in next to bottom place. That has now been cut to twelve points and once again the South Yorkshire team are looking over their shoulders.
'Anyone who says we are safe from relegation are naive' Sharps told The Advertiser this week. 'We only have to lose four and Bournemouth win four and it will get difficult - and in this league that could happen. With sixty points still to play for, it means even Luton can get to sixty. I look at every game we play and think we can win but we still have work to do.'
Speaking about the one-nil loss at Darlington mid-week, Sharps said, 'We dominated from start to finish. They scored a lucky goal and maybe we could have done better. But it was the missed chances that cost us the game. We didn't lose because of a lack of effort but there was a lack of skill and the quality of the balls into the box wasn't good enough. Darlington sat deep and we couldn't break them down. The first goal in these games is always going to be important and we had chances, but, as the gaffer says, you need to take them. Our mentality was spot on and we won most of the areas all over the pitch but it just wasn't our day.
'The lads stick the ball in the net in training it's just that it doesn't always fall for you in a match. You've just got to get in the box and get on the end of the chances and not hide. We aren't a bad team and we didn't deserve to lose on Tuesday. But, there have been other games we've won this season and not deserved to and when it happens the other way you have to take it on the chin and pick yourself up for the next game.'

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has told PSG they can sign Gonzalo Higuain - if they agree to take Kaka off their books also. Sport says PSG are desperate to land Argentine striker Higuain, but are not so keen on Kaka.
However, Perez is adamant: PSG must take the pair as a package, or its no deal.
PSG are willing to cough up €20 million for Kaka and are waiting on Perez to convince coach Jose Mourinho to release Higuain. The Real coach is reluctant to lose the striker, despite using him sparingly this season.
If he makes the move to Paris, Higuain can expect his wages to treble.

text: A live-action EdutainmentShow developed in 1984 at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, Storylords describes the adventures of elementary school students Norby and Mandy, two children who become apprentice Storylords to help save the land of Mojuste. Aided by Lexor and the skills they learn from reading class, the Wisconsinite duo fight the evil Storylord Thorzuul and his henchman Milkbreath, and helping Mojuste citizens solve their problems along the way. Reruns of the dozen episode long series continue to be shown on public television and the entirety of Storylords is also available on the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (WIECB)'s [[http://www.youtube.com/user/WIECB#p/c/B66BAA211D91F0D5 YouTube channel]].----!This show contains examples of:* AllThereInTheManual: The lessons for students watching the show in the teacher's guide give some added backstory about some of the characters.* CatchPhrase: Norby tends to shout "Holy Camole" when he is particularly surprised.* ChekhovsClassroom: Somehow, Mrs. Framish always has either covered the necessary reading skill that day, or taught it the next day, in plenty of time for Norby to use it to defeat Thorzuul.* {{Expy}}: Lexor seems to be an awful lot like [[StarWars Obi-Wan Kanobi]], especially in his master/apprentice relationship with the young storylords. * HarmlessVillain: Thorzuul's challenges may have potentially adverse consequences, but aside from turning people to stone occasionally, Thorzuul does not seem to do much that is really evil. Some of the ways he tries to trap the apprentice storylords near the end of the series may be examples of NotSoHarmlessVillain however. * LittleMissSnarker: Mandy occupies this role from time to time, even around the intimidating (or [[VillainDecay not so intimidating]]) Thorzuul.* MagicalIncantation: With the phrase "Thunder and Lightning, Trumpets and Drums, Readers Rejoice, a Storylord Comes!" Norby (and later Mandy) can use the bike-a-tron to teleport to Mojuste. * MagicFeather: The magical storylord gloves.* OverlordJr: Thorzuul Jr. is introduced near the end of the series and he clearly resembles his father. [[AllThereInTheManual The teacher's guide]] also mentions Thorzuul Jr.'s cousin Kayzuul.* [[spoiler: TheReveal: Mrs. Framish turns out to be a storylord herself in the last episode.]]* SummonEverymanHero: This is part of the reason why Norby is surprised that Lexor believes he is the key to saving Mojuste.* TakenForGranite: Thorzuul turns anyone who cannot understand what they read into statues for his collection.* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to the test he gives the apprentice storylords, Thorzuul is a big fan of turnips.* VillainDecay: Thorzuul can suffer from this, going from a big bad guy to someone who sneezes at dandelions.

The word play ritual to spell release, intention and surrender
As the year end is getting closer, people take time to reflect on the months past and set their vision for the future. Today, I offer you a ritual that can bring more creative play to this process. Words, rituals and play captivate the brain in their own unique ways and facilitate transformation. Words can cause the brain to create a vivid and real experience of whatever these words represent to us. Rituals tap into the predictive power of the brain to set expectations and rewire the brain to give commands in accordance with such expectations. Play liberates our creative spirit, silences the inner critic, and allows us to see a broader range of possibilities and solutions.
The ritual below is a form of contemplative practice, so it should not be rushed. You may have heard that the popularity of coloring books for adults have grown over the past years because they help people release stress. Coloring is easy and gives an opportunity for the mind to wander. In addition, research suggests that using your hands to write or do crafts, like knitting, for example, also benefits the brain. The word play ritual offers the same benefits but in a more personal and creative way. Children can have fun with it too.
It is inspired by nature and the change of seasons. While trees let go of the leaves and stay bare in their dreamy rest through the winter, our human cycle of activity tends to speed up during the holiday season. Amidst this hustle and bustle, it is useful to find a practice that can bring us to the roots, ground and center our energy. As leaves decompose in nature to fuel the growth of plants in the Spring, our dry plant ink will help us let go of anything that is no longer needed and cultivate the quiet intention for the transformation we want to bring into our lives.
You begin by preparing your dry plant ink. For my ink, I used dry rose petals, chamomile flowers and lavender flowers that I often use to brew teas. Dry herbs, spices, tea leaves are all good options. You can crumble the dry plants with your hands or use a rolling pin.
I like to collect my dry plant ink into a mesh sachet bag. I may even through a few of my favorite crystals into the mix. When not in use, you can keep such sachet on your desk for its beautiful aroma, which will serve as another reminder to your brain of your set intentions. (The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic system – the center of emotions in the brain.)
For your project, you will also need a surface to work on, such as a sheet of paper or a canvas. Instead of a pen, I roll a paper cone to spread my dry plant ink on the surface. You can just use your fingers to spell the words too. I have a little paint brush and a broom to help me along.
Once you have everything ready, it is time to think of the words that represent something that you want to release. For example, I chose to spell the word "fear" as something to let go of. I "sit" with this word and the feelings it may stir in me as I spell it with my dry plant ink. As you paint your word, notice what comes up for you in the process. For example, I noticed that I wanted to rush and finish the "unpleasant" word faster. This is not surprising because we want to avoid unpleasant feelings or discomfort associated with them. However, I chose to slow down and make it beautiful nonetheless. Those negative feelings are there for us to warn or alert us to something. They are worthy to be acknowledges and accepted for what they are.
Once the word is completed, take time to appreciate it before you let it go. I sweep it with my tiny broom. You can mix it up with your hands or even blow it away. This represents the impermanent nature of our emotions. We can move from one mental state to another.
Now is the time to pick up a new positive word that represents something you want to focus on or bring more of into your life. You use the same dry plant ink to transform the negative into the positive as you invite the lessons of your negative experience to fuel the positive change. Savor the time and the process as you spell your positive word. Notice what comes up for you now. My positive word ended up much bigger and fuller than my negative word. I added more ink to complete it. Keep it as long as you wish before you feel it is time to return it back into the sachet bag and breathe in its lingering aroma. I left mine on my daughter's desk for now as a surprise when she comes back from school. Perhaps, it will inspire her to paint her own.
Try it and let me know how it goes. Maybe, you will want to share your picture too.
I wish you a happy and peaceful holiday season!
[UPDATE] This is what I got back from my daughter 🙂

Visits 101 Guide
A step-by-step guide on how to have a successful meeting with your member of Congress
Scheduling Your Visit
First: Find Your Member
Head to our Action Center website to find out who your members of Congress are: www.advocacy.myeloma.org
Second: Check Your Member's Website
Often, there is a form you can fill out on their website-and it's super easy! Typically you will just have to fill in your name, email address, the date you want to have the meeting and the reason for having the meeting-to talk about making March Myeloma Awareness Month! If you haven't heard back in a couple of days, give the local district office a call to follow-up!
Third: Call the District Office
Not all members have a form on their website to request a meeting. If this is the case, call the district office. Typically a receptionist or "scheduler" will answer the call. Tell them your name and that you're a constituent requesting to meet with your member of Congress or a member of their staff. In most cases, you will be meeting with the staff member. You should also let them know that you are affiliated with the IMF and would like to talk to them about making March Myeloma Awareness Month. The scheduler should be able to find some dates and times that would work for a meeting.
Fourth: Contact the Advocacy Team
Once you have your visits scheduled, contact Lindsey from the advocacy team at firstname.lastname@example.com . She will go over everything you need to know going into the visit.
The Visit
If you are doing a group visit:
- A small group of constituents is great because it can provide multiple perspectives on an issue.
- Assign someone as a meeting facilitator who makes introductions, designates certain people to speak on particular issues, and wraps up the meeting
- Assign another person as note taker to record what happens at the meeting and legislator or staff member's response
Talking Points:
- Ask them what they know about multiple myeloma
- Explain what myeloma is and give some basic facts and statistics.
For example:
- Multiple myeloma is the second most common form of blood cancer, but represents only 1% of total cancer diagnosis
- 100,000 people in the U.S. are living with myeloma and another 24,000 will be diagnosed this year
- Tell them YOUR story. Let them know about how and when you are diagnosed, the treatment you have gone through and what your life has been like since you have had myeloma.
- Emphasize that myeloma is not well known-had you heard of it before you had been diagnosed? When you told people about your diagnosis how many were familiar with myeloma?
The "ASK": Cosponsor H.Res.174
After you go through your different talking points, it's time for the "ask", which is your main reason for being there-you want your member to cosponsor H.Res.174 which would designate March as Myeloma Action Month*! Your conversation up to the ask has showcased why there needs to be more awareness of multiple myeloma.
*Since the bill was introduced last year before we made the switch to Myeloma Action Month, the bill language refers to the resolution as Myeloma Awareness Month
Tips for a Successful Visit
Be prompt, patient and flexible
If you are going with a group, designate a spokesperson
Stay on point and be concise
Don't lecture or monopolize time
Enjoy yourself and make an impact!
What's next?
The key for a successful member-constituent relationship is to stay in touch after the meeting.
- Make sure you thank the member or their staffer for taking time to meet with you.
- Offer to be a resource moving forward should they have any additional questions about myeloma or the legislation.

To tha EdiWrt of tbe Appeal :
Your editorial in Ninday s naior
appealing to tho citxens of Slieiby
Countr to select the best men f r
Attorney General and Criminal Court
Judge, deserves and doubtless re
ceives the approval and thanks of
every lover ol his country. It has
about it the true ring of sincerity and
truth, and you wilinotdoa g ea'er
benefaction to our people tnin to pub
lish repeated articles of this sott to
tone up the public sentiment to tho
importance of this queBt on of select
ing proper men to fill theso poets, and
to impress upon the people
the deep responsibility of select
ing these oUit ere. At this time the
city of Memphis is attrac i"g unusual
attention as a centerof trade and com
mt rce. and it will bo to us a tlingrace-
ful reflection to have the Criminal
Court of the city pointed at and
sneered at for the loose and nhnineful
aduiinintrntion of law, to sny nothing
of the injustice to our people to have
such impositions inflicted upon them.
What nnis our neighb rg think of us
when the laws affecting life, liberty
and decency aro represented in the
court rooms by men whoso personal
life is d. ily a sham for virtue
and morality. And how can the law
be adminibtered by one whose inex
perif nee and want of ability forbid
any assu ance of success1 Some peo
ple are careless and indifferent to an
extent that is marvelous about these
things. They seem to be willlng.either
from personal favor or to pay off some
political score, to dump off Into the
Criminal Court almost any kind of a
man. They lend their aid or influence
without a moment's inquiry or care as
to results. The old Democratic rule,
"Is he honest? Is he capable?" is for
gotten by many Democra's, and the
only qu stion seems to b) as
to whether the oflio shall
be g'.ven for political services ren
dered, or to show a personal favor. If
this is the rule pursued by the Demo
cratic party, wq may expect defeat
for our ticket. Nothing will or ought
to save it
Preen thtse and such sentiments on
our 1fAp'e, Mr. Editor, in time to in

Non-climate forest policies have a long history in successful creation of plantation forests on both public and private lands in developing and developed countries. If governments have strong regulatory and institutional capacities, they may successfully control land use on public lands, and state agencies can reforest these lands directly. In cases where such capacities are more limited, governments may enter into joint management agreements with communities, so that both parties share the costs and benefits of plantation establishment (Williams, 2002). Incentives for plantation establishment may take the form of afforestation grants, investment in transportation and roads, energy subsidies, tax exemptions for forestry investments, and tariffs against competing imports (Cossalter and Pye-Smith, 2003). In contrast to conservation of existing forests, the underlying financial incentives to establish plantations may be positive. However, the creation of virtually all significant plantation estates has relied upon government support, at least in the initial stages. This is due, in part, to the illiquidity of the investment, the high cost of capital establishment and long waiting period for financial return.

adapted from The New Best Recipe Cookbook (with significantly easier to follow instructions if I do say so myself, and I do)
Makes 3-4 dozen
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 11 minutes per batch
Cost: $5.80
(chocolate: 2.30, sugars: .55, butter: .35, eggs: .40, flour: .20, cocoa: .30, more chocolate: 1.70)
16 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chocolate chips work as does any variety of 60% dark chocolate)
1 1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C white sugar
10 Tbsp butter
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp almond extract (optional--gives it a darker, more complex flavor, not an almond-y flavor, but if you're afraid you can skip it)
2 C all-purpose flour
1/2 C cocoa (Dutch process is recommended, but we just had regular and that worked too)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
12 oz (about 2 C) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
In microwave safe bowl, melt the 16 oz. of chocolate. Do this in 30 second intervals, mixing in between until it's all melted and smooth.
Cream sugars and butter. Add eggs and mix. Add vanilla.
In a steady-ish stream, pour the melted chocolate into the bowl and beat it into your mixture.
Sift together the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Add it to your chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.
Add chocolate chips.
We let our dough sit for a while, merely because we were eating dinner (clearly our priorities were off), but I think this dough would be fine if you just plopped it right onto a baking sheet and baked it up.
Bake at 350 for 10-11 minutes. Always be careful with chocolate cookies, not to burn them. They may not look entirely done, but don't go over 12 minutes on an average-sized cookie or you'll risk burning your cookies. If you're going to err, do it on the side of underdone. Underdone = fudgy, brownie-like cookie. Overdone = burned cookie.
These are great warm, but they keep very well also. You'll still have a great cookie on day 2. As for day 3, we haven't experienced it personally. If you do, more power to you. Maybe your New Year's Resolutions have some hope after all.

The wildlife of Gorongosa National Park is slowly coming back to its former glories. On our daily walks and drives we are currently seeing more and more animals (not to mention the many birds we see daily in this exciting birding region). What is most pleasing is seeing how the game in our operating area is quietly accepting us more and more as we spend time exploring
neighbourhood. Many animals are even spending time in our camp as they no doubt see it as a place of refuge and interest.

Only details remain, so Roma could complete their €8m transfer for Arsenal's Gervinho within hours.
Director Walter Sabatini has been in London for a few days conducting advanced negotiations with the Gunners.
According to Sky Sport Italia, it's a done deal worth €8m plus performance-related bonuses – which translates as £6.9m.
The Ivory Coast international has already agreed terms for a four-year contract and will reunite with his old Lille boss Rudi Garcia.
It is reported Gervinho and Sabatini will fly out over the weekend to meet with Roma in their Boston pre-season training camp.

FULLERTON, CA (June 3, 2013) — Part of the challenge in creating a documentary about a story covering such a long time-span is finding appropriate archival materials to go with the interviews. Film Director, Todd Huffman knew there would not be an abundance of old film or pictures of John Penton racing to help tell the story so Huffman is relying on some re-creations for part of the visuals.
John Penton was very successful during the late 1950's and early 1960's on his little 175cc NSU that he won many off-road races on. The crew had the privilege of being able to shoot some re-creations on John's actual NSU that is now owned by Jeff Borer of Amherst, OH. Mr. Borer rescued the bike from a "chicken coup" and meticulously restored it back to it's original luster. Then, he miraculously let our crew get it dirty, muddy and run it in the rain shooting a bunch of scenes over two days in Amherst. Jack Penton was doubling his father for these scenes.
The shots turned out awesome and we thank you Mr. Borer for letting us get your pride and joy a little muddy for this important film.

My gosh my husband can talk a lot. Yesterday evening he was supposed to be home from work by about 8 o'clock. It gets to be 8:30 and I'm wondering where he is so I went and looked out the door and he's down the street talking to one of our neighbors who also happens to be an extremely talkative man.
When Chris finally came home I asked him what they'd been talking about. I guess our neighbors sons are expanding their gas station and garage. They're going to renovate their shop, which is just a block from here and where we often get our car tuned up or fixed. Our neighbor was talking about how they need to get more body shop supplies and so on to prepare when the reno is finished. I guess they're adding another car bay or two.
Chris was babbling so much I didn't fully get all the information.
It just astounds me how much that man can talk though. You know, whenever we're having a BBQ I have to remind Chris not to wander out to the front of the house. If he does he gets talking to anyone who walks by and the next thing I know we end up with burned food.
Does your spouse talk too much? Especially to the neighbors or even strangers passing by the house?

The product: Saje Pain Release Analgesic Bath Salts
Once upon a time, I was a bath-hater. I'll admit it: we all make mistakes. I started taking baths again last year to use up the Saje Pain Release Analgesic Bath Salts that Boyfriend gave me, but up until that point, I thought they were a waste of time.
How to use the Saje Pain Release Bath Salts
The Saje Pain Release Bath Salts are designed to ease "muscular aches, strains and stiffness" with a blend of essential oils, sea salt, and epsom salt. You add barely anything into each bath (Saje recommends 3-5 teaspoons added to a full bath), close the bathroom door, and let the essential oils envelop you.
Do the Saje Pain Release Analgesic Bath Salts actually work?
Honestly? I don't find that these bath salts make a huge difference for me. What really impacts my pain levels is lying in a tubful of scalding hot water–emphasis on the scalding.
If I take a comfortably-warm bath, it doesn't seem to do anything for my pain levels. But if I take a bath that's so hot that it's uncomfortable, my pain levels go way down. The key is getting the water hot enough that it hurts when I first get in the tub, and so hot that I then sweat my way through the rest of my bath.
So no, I guess these bath salts aren't a must-have for me. However, they're a really nice addition to a bath, and I love how little you have to use each time. My little baggie of bath salts has lasted me ages, and I'd say that it was well worth the price.
Availability: $7.95 CAD at Saje.
The Saje Pain Release Analgesic Bath Soak ingredients:
Lavender, Marjoram, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Camphor, Roman Chamomile, Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, Cornstarch, Baking Soda.

Which is the more difficult mission ground for Latter Day Saints: Harlem, New York City or Chiang Mai, Thailand? Harlem is in the state in which Mormonism was founded. Eight thousand miles away, Chiang Mai has been home to Buddhism (the Theravada variety) for over two thousand years. Harlem's architecture is notable for its Black churches, while Chiang Mai's old city perpetually beams from the sun's glares reflected off its many Buddhist temples.
The first Mormon missionary to New York City came in 1837. The first New Yorker to covert to Mormonism also happened in that year. However, growth of the church in Harlem didn't come until after 1978 when the Mormons changed their theology to give complete acceptance to African Americans. Now, there are three congregations in Harlem, and the majority of Mormons in New York City are ethnic minorities. After 184 years, there are forty-two congregations in the city. In 2010 the Religious Congregations and Ministries Survey reported that Mormons numbered had 35,000 members in the city.
The first Mormon missionary to Thailand arrived in April 6, 1854. The first Thai convert came into the church not until 1966. The congregation in Chiang Mai got started in 1970. The Book of Mormonwas not translated into Thai until 1976, roughly the same time that African Americans were welcomed as full members into the church. There are now seven congregations and thirty two smaller groups meeting together in Thailand. In 2009 the Mormon church reported that it had 16,000 members in Thailand.
Mormons believe that missionary work in Thailand will be similar to that done in Harlem. "The same principles of evangelizing still applies [in Thailand] even though the background is different," argues Russell Wagstaff, a Mormon missionary in Chiang Mai who looked barely 21 with his crew cut sandy brown hair and glasses. He took a hiatus from studies at Duke University to participate in the mission. A Journey encountered Wagstaff and another young missionary Brigham Shipley in the Mormon church, which is located in the center of Chiang Mai.
Shipley, from the New York City region, chimed in, "Our job is to find those ready to listen to the teachings." In other words, they believed people are people no matter where they live in the world.
However, both missionaries agreed that Thailand is a unique missionary ground because of the difficulty of the language. Prior to their mission, Shipley and Wagstaff attended a 12 week language intensive program in Utah to get them up to speed in their Thai. Luckily for Shipley, his college, Brigham Young University, is located in the same state as the Mormon church's language institute.
Shipley pointedly noted that his brother, who is completing missions in Brazil, only had to take a six week language program for Spanish.
Like the Mormon Harlem Church, the Chiang Mai Church is run by locals—Thai locals. As there are few English speakers in the church, Shipley and Wagstaff reach out to the community by teaching weekly English classes.
The Mormon Chiang Mai Church probably gets more tourists than the Harlem location too. "This area [Chiang Mai] has a lot of religions and temples. People start to think of the spiritual and want to find a Christian place to pray," remarked Shipley.
Wagstaff looked at his partner, then looked at me, and said, "Tourists who come here say they've been disillusioned with religion, but they're looking for something." Whether in Thailand or Harlem, the Mormons are looking for you.

Committee considers bills to help Texas veterans
Published 4:36 pm, Thursday, March 28, 2013
Opinion asked state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, who chairs the Senate Veteran Affairs and Military Installations Committee, some questions on state legislation and Texas veterans.
SB 162 expands that initiative to all state agencies that issue licenses, requiring them to accept a license issued by another jurisdiction for military service members, spouses and veterans as long as it is substantially similar to Texas' standards.
An additional provision that was initiated by former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle before he was killed allows veterans with Special Forces training and experience to be exempt from certain training requirements toward a law enforcement certification.
The change is necessary to help our military families who move from duty stations to different states. It takes too long for licensure before they have to move again.
Any military training or experience short of a full license issued by another jurisdiction would count as progress toward an occupational license, but before a full license would be issued, the veteran would need to demonstrate proficiency and understanding of Texas' standards through a test or other similar mechanism determined by the appropriate agency.
National Guard members returning from active duty are often left with little or no time to address important family, health and legal matters before returning to their civilian careers. Sen. Brian Birdwell's bill, SB 442, will make sure that state agencies do not charge regular leave or dock their pay to attend medical appointments or take care of personal matters that they were unable to address prior to their return to work.
This bill limits the service member to one year to use the 15 days of leave.
SB 163 gives Gold Star spouses a 100 percent property tax exemption.
SB 465 updates the property-tax exemption amounts for service-connected disabled veterans who have less than a 100 percent disability rating by the VA.
And SB 898 provides structure and accountability for veterans' mental health services delivered through the Peer-to-Peer network.

Contrary to what some readers may expect, the problem has less to do with the increasing frequency and severity of weather event than it does with the decommissioning of America's polar-orbiting space satellite system.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System is nearing the end of its lifespan.
When it is decommissioned, NOAA will lose access to critical weather data the satellite system provide for a period likely to last at least a year a half, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Polar-orbiting satellites have provided essential data in recent natural disasters, according to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.
In 2012, data from polar-orbiting satellites predicted that Hurricane Sandy would make landfall in New Jersey five days before it hit.
Weather information providers are not completely blind without polar-orbiting satellite data, but the quality of forecasts will suffer without it.
In February, the GAO added the potential gap in critical satellite data to the list of high-risk issues facing the federal government.
"A satellite data gap would result in less accurate and timely weather forecasts and warnings of extreme events, such as hurricanes, storm surges and floods," said the GAO in its 2013 High Risk Report. "Such degradation in forecasts and warnings would place lives, property and our nation's critical infrastructures in danger."
Potential gaps in environmental satellite data could make future weather forecasts less accurate and timely, including warnings of extreme events such as hurricanes, storm surges, and floods.
These gaps could begin as early 2014 and last as long as 53 months, according to the GAO.
The Joint Polar Satellite System will replace NOAA's current constellation, but it will not be fully functional for some time.

The leader of Prince Edward Island's New Democratic Party is calling on the province to make big changes to the way it looks at its budgets.
Mike Redmond says he wants P.E.I. to adopt revolving fund budgeting. That means money left over from one fiscal year will carry to the next if it isn't spent.
Redmond says the current system often leads to hasty and wasteful spending.
"Obviously with the state we're in financially, we better sharpen the pencils and change ways in how we are structured financially and fiscally in this province if we're ever going to have a hope to change our financial situation," he said.
Redmond says P.E.I. could look to other provinces and municipalities who have already adopted revolving budgeting.
Finance Minister Wes Sheridan is projecting a $39.7 million deficit for 2014-15, and a return to a balanced budget in 2015-16, with a slim $100,000 surplus. The province last had a balanced budget in 2007-08.

In Washington State, at least Western Washington, Frontier purchased Verizon's operations. Part of this transition was changing everyone's email address from @verizon.net to @frontier.com. If you haven't updated your email address with everyone, any email to @verizon.net will "bounce," meaning the sender will get a message saying it couldn't be delivered.
