There was a film entitled "The Girlfriend Experience" that debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last week that is creating quite a buzz. The premise of the film is basically about a "working girl" who charges $2,000 an hour to act as a client's girlfriend for the night, providing more intimacy than just physical intimacy.
This week Oprah interviewed a young lady who worked at a brothel in Nevada. She also said that many clients are return customers whom she has an ongoing connection to. They basically pay for "the girlfriend experience" and seek her out to provide the experience of having a relationship. What do think about men or women that pay for emotional intimacy? Is it just another commodity or are these people fooling themselves?
I am not interested in becoming a working girl, don't worry! I just started thinking about how some single men date women to get the girlfriend experience without the expectations, commitment, or exclusivity. Now I know there are men that are interested in forming good relationships. It can be difficult figuring out who these men are, but usually time reveals all.
Ladies, do you ever meet men who want "the girlfriend experience" instead of a REAL committed relationship? I'm talking about the men that jockey for your time, attention, and all the perks that come with being their official woman. Yet avoid any discussions about commitment or going to the next level. What do you do? Do you move on? Do you let them know that they are expecting the girlfriend experience?
Guys, do you meet and date women and desire to get "the girlfriend experience" without an actual relationship? Is this usually a sign of committment phobia? Have you ever dated women who wanted "the boyfriend experience" without being in a relationship with you? How did you handle it?
Happy Friday!

See this I just don't get. Why not just get a girlfriend?
Yesterday the news was playing on the kitchen television and my 14 year old was sitting there eating his breakfast. The story aired about the guy that tries abduct women at bus stops and the have determined that his motive is rape. My son looked at me and asked "Why don't he just get a girlfriend? She'll have sex with him." Wow. While we all know that it is much deeper than that in the mind of those sickos out there I couldn't help but think to myself "yeah you would think", before addressing the reality of the matter with my son.
That to say if you want the experience go buy into the source. A no strings girlfriend. And you know what I find even more interesting there are tons of women out there looking for emotionless, casual, unattached relationship. Heck we hear it on here nearly every other day from somebody. Women that desire certain benefits of a relationship sans the actual relationship.
LOL And I must admit I really thought this entry was going to go in an entirely different direction after reading the first few lines.

"Why don't he just get a girlfriend? She'll have sex with him." Whoa, out of the mouth of babes…
It seems to be an epidemic that some men/women don't want to address the next level out of fear that they will be accused of rushing into things so say'll if it aint broke don't fix it. Most ppl in my circle are 33+ divorced a time or two and don't want the logistics of a comminted relationship out of fear that it would lead to another marriage.

It's finally Friday……ooh thank you lawdy….mornting blog fam
This is almost reminiscent of a "friends with benefits" situation but anyway a few years back I was "involved" with a guy who was not my boyfriend and we did everything couples did but just without the label. We had alot of fun and NEITHER ONE OF US wanted it to change. Anyhoo, it lasted for about a year when he had to move away and even after the move we still styed in contact…even swap no swindle it what I call it…..it is what it is and keep it moving.

See this I just don't get. Why not just get a girlfriend?
From what I can tell, the only difference is by having the gf on "pay roll" you can better dictate the relationship terms.
But yeah, this whole concept is foreign to me. I'm in it to be fully engaged. Ups and downs and all.

Sassy Let me ask you a question.
You've a clear jar. The jar holds a white substance. The substance looks like mayo. You open the jar it smells like mayo and it taste like mayo. So what is it? Mayo? Correct. Just because you remove the label it does not change or make void what it is. That's how I feel about the so called "no labels" relationships. It is what it is. Labeled or Not. That whole no labels foolery is just foolery. Why do folks keep buying into it?
LOL I just needed to get that off my belly.

thats what men want…like RED said…control
men that pay for sex or engage in tricking or so use to losing they have to pay to win….nothing deeper than what it is..they dont have the guts or gonnads to engage that dime piece and successful woo her…so they pay for moist hole and septic mouth to make them feel good
but while we are on the girlfriend experience…have had a few larger women want to pay me for the boy friend experience…know dat

This definitely fits several of my past relationships. Guys wanting the perks of a relationship but none of the responsibility. In the past I've chalked it up as dating and how not every relationship will get to the marriage stage, but I've had to recognize that many of these guys would rather take the easy way out and date indefinitely rather than commit. It's my fault as well, as I allowed for it.
In each case, I've walked away, but it's definitely something I've needed to work on. Just because I'm chill and don't feel the need to bring up "where is this going" in every convo, doesn't mean he gets what he wants out of the relationship and I don't. Live and learn. Glad for the experiences.

fall settle for the "no label" is exactly what WiseDiva is talking about. I imagine people pay for the "experience" because they want to shuck the accountability that comes with relationships. They want the intimacy, they want the love, they want the physical but they don't want to be accountable for anything done foul that could ruin a relationship.
Yet again I say, from what I hear more and more there are women and men willing to do that for free. Be your friends providing all of the relationship benefits yet without attachment.

"Ladies, do you ever meet men who want "the girlfriend experience" instead of a REAL committed relationship?"
WD I almost felt some kinda way about this question… like the day I wanted to slap the ish outta Blanca with the Reading Is Fundamental brick for somehow missing Staceye's backstory. Over and over and over again. But then I re-read and yup, it clearly say Ladies – not just Mytwo… Maybe more of our lovely lurkers will emerge to respond. And since we have to mention Anthony everyday of this week, Hard to Breathe was playin when I read the entry. How apropos.
Ms. SASSAFRASS At least you sound like you're usually an equal participant in that decision. So many women will accommodate the request when It Is Not At All what they desire. Then it's never a good thing.

Over the last few years, this has been an occasional circumstance of mine.
Like these single men of discussion, I get lonely occasionally after months and months of no dates – its not that we can't get them, we actually get "hit on" enough to a have a healthy dating rotation. I had 1 direct and 2 indirect offers at a temp job I held for about 6 weeks recently. But most of the time, they aren't the type of women I want to be or even hang out with.
And I tired of hanging out with women just for company sakes because invariably they want more. So (I) would rather hang out by myself. Friends often ask me, "You are always by yourself when I see out" and it lead to speculation that may "be playing for the other team."
However, I wouldn't pay 2 G's for the "girlfriend experience", though I understand it. I would use that money to hire a fantastic dating consultant who could set me up on dates with women of my taste. It is what the some celebrities do.

Morning All!!!
It's Friday, it's Friday, it's FRIDAY!!!!
On topic – I can't answer all those questions – Diva, it's Friday! Only one question allowed
I can say that I tried to have the boyfriend experience with this one guy. I found out that he was not the one for me, no marriage in site. But I wanted to go out every now and then, travel together, etc – but I did not want him as my boyfriend because I wanted to leave that space for someone that was marriage material.
I came to the 'boyfriend experience' conclusion after he and I traveled together. I enjoyed having a handsome man on my arm that would carry my luggage. I don't get that when I travel with my girlfriends. Unfortunately he wanted a relationship so that really didn't work out. Looking back on it – I shouldn't have even made that proposal. Oh well, you live and you learn.

Good morning everyone! An emotional week for me, but here I is!
at getting it off your belly.

Dating consultant? Wow..
Rell has a point, when you capable and confident enough to step to woman and express your interest in her, you really don't have to pay strictly for an experience that is free. But I've had conversations recently with friends on this subject (a version of it, at least) and I just don't get paying for sex.
But, when it comes to dating, yeah, there's a certain sect of men/women that want the "benefits" with the strings. If both parties are comfortable with it, no prollem. But inevitably that situation never remains static.
In my current situation, I do have the opportunity to meet and "associate" with a number of women. Some become friends, some become more, some want more still. I do what I can, while trying to remain honest about the fact that, right now, "my schedule only permits the time we have, right now, so let's just make the best of it and chill on the rest. If nothing else, we have these few hours together."

Tazzee – I can say that I tried to have the boyfriend experience with this one guy. I found out that he was not the one for me, no marriage in site.
Not to pick on you or anything, but you said "I tired to have the boyfriend experience" but "no marriage sight." That statement is an oxymoron. The whole point of the "experience" is to hangout, but not to have not have about the "M" word. This is the reason why the "experience", female or male, is so hard successfully pull off. One person, 9 times of 10, eventually wants more than they are leading on – consciously or unconsciously; and usually it's the female, BUT not always.
May 1st, 2009
9:42 am
Good Morning all,
I have had the girlfriend experience and the boyfriend experience. Girlfriend experience came from dating married men folks. Boy friend experience came from dating married men folks. As it has been said I didn't want the responsiblility of the traditional relationship so I didn't seek it out. Worked for me. I am sure this topic is going to go hella deep.
Frankly, I have no problem with prostitution..if that is a person's "choosen" career path then hey go for it. Wisey you failed to mention that the star of that movie is a well-know porn star. (I read the article) and she choose porn as her profession as soon as she was legally able to participate. Per the article the young lady is 21 and has made over a 150 films(flicks).

RELL Somehow you've managed to cast a Trick – Hoe scenario on something entirely different. And you have several different explanations for you and larger women… what did you say once, if you see me with one it's cuz she has a cute face and nice hair. Isn't that part of the basis why any dude would be with any woman? And then the question remains why would one be seen with you? The justification is comical because if you go back, in the actual essence of the topic, you'd just be going along for the ride cuz you'll take what you can get of her. And how could you offer a paid girlfriend experience if you're no affectionate and admittedly are getting light bulbs every day for basic soft skills that should go without saying. You took a hiatus to go on some kind of journey but brought us back the same ol souvenirs.
O GREAT PREGO PHILOSOPHER Hmm, I don't know about that Hellmans. Just cuz something is almost what you want it to be, if it ain't – it just ain't. You can allow yourself to call it what you want, but it'll only be what it is. Like the situation mentioned with Tony G & his girlfriend… If they have all the functions of a marriage, but no marriage has been signed by either party, she can think of them as married, but are they really? Usually we'd say the woman is convincing herself of what she wants to BE, rather than focused on what really IS.

Prostitution is what it is, and calling something else doesn't change it. A hooker that charges extra to be nice to you is still just a whore, regardless the 'Girlfriend' or 'Boyfriend' experience. The whole notion is just plain tawdry.
On the other hand, it's something of a boyfriend or girlfriend experience with any friendship between opposite sexes. Sometimes it can be even closer than that. Women often talk to me about things I'd expect them to talk about with their girlfriends, or their man; I'm usually enjoying their company at lunch when they're doing that. I just don't charge them $2000 for it. They're friends, after all — just friends, but the aura is still always there.
That's why most people object to their SO doing things like that. It looks and acts too much like a duck.

Good morning folks!
Have you ever dated women who wanted "the boyfriend experience" without being in a relationship with you? How did you handle it?
I have dated a sista who wanted the boyfriend experience but not the commitment, it was great for me because I did not want it either so we had a good time together.
From some of the articles I have read a lot of the "quote unquote" boyfriend experience is from married men who are replacing the dating function they do not have with their wives. Business executives who keep high end call girl business going strong!
May 1st, 2009
9:53 am
Atltwen Perhaps I didn't phrase that right – the reason why I relegated dude to just the boyfriend experience and not the boyfriend is because he was not marriage material. He was the one that was talking marriage and I knew that I could not marry him – but I enjoyed just hanging out with him.
Hope that clears things up.
Raqi I know, but escorts cost and I'm tight with mine

Aren't all relationships about exclusively mutual interest? That is, each party wants something from the other? It's the methods of procurement that manufactures the biggest problems.
In that, the relations that WD is talking about are cut and dry. No fuss, no muss.

TwoLincolns No. I didn't say it almost is or it looks like I said that it is. Therefore it is. Sassy said that they did everything that a couple does. The eggs, the salt, the oil. It is mayonnaise. Just because you remove the label does not change what it is. The ingredients make it so.
And as for Tony G??? No that is not a marriage. Without a license it is not a marriage. However you have folks that do have a license but say it is an arrangement. No it's a marriage.

What do think about men or women that pay for emotional intimacy?
Reversed tricking. A person seriously willing to pay that kind of money in having professional (being the operative word here) sevices rendered ask for the "all in" feel to accompany? Is it even possible to purchase an emotional experience? I mean aside from engaging in conversation and maybe a laugh or two, what else is there to give outside of what's being bought? Think I'm missing something here.

@Raqi you can do all the girlfriend/boyfriend experience but their is not commitment to each other and you can date other people maybe that is what Sassy is talking about!
@Tazzee were you only committed to this guy while you were going thru the boyfriend experience? Were you dating others while you was dating him?
Cannot will not pay an escrow for some booty! That costs more then dating!

Lurker I agree.
Maybe for them it's just needing someone to make you feel special. Someone to sing your praises. Someone to validate your accomplishments and success. Someone to say I love you. Maybe that's what they are paying for outside of the physical intimacy.
You know you often here of people complaining about their relationship or marriage being void of intimacy. Their spouse never has time to speak a kind word. Their spouse never has time to talk or listen to their daily happenings.
And I am just going to jump out there with this one, maybe it is that feeling of having someone whisper "I love you so much" during the love making. Maybe this is what folks are paying for.
When I read the first few lines about paying for the experience I actually thought the entry was going to be about people seeking the intimacy that their relationship lack outside of the relationship. We had an entry before about emotional cheating.
May 1st, 2009

O GREAT PREGO PHILOSOPHER Right on Tony. But we sometimes name things from our own perspective. I've asked for mayo before and been given Miracle Whip. When I raised my brow, I was told they're the same thing. They are not! But they look the same and some believe they taste the same. Kinda like how folks will offer you a Coke, but they just mean a carbonated beverage. You end up with a nicely chilled Big K Cola. Sadly, I've endured both of these tragic scenarios in real life. Moment of silence…
PROFFESOR D IF all relationships are about exclusively mutual interests THEN it is revealed that what one party wants (commitment) will not be fully supplied by the other in full (nah, we just smash n grab) then have both parties actually procured what they sought out to? Or has one accepted terms which confirm they've gotten the GF/BF experience without an actual GF/BF to show for it? In that, the relations that WD is talking about is cut and dried.

WISE…"Ladies, do you ever meet men who want "the girlfriend experience" instead of a REAL committed relationship? I'm talking about the men that jockey for your time, attention, and all the perks that come with being their official woman. Yet avoid any discussions about commitment or going to the next level." LAWD girl that is like every man I have met in ATL! Hell now I just want the boyfriend experience….that way I can ignore you when I don't feel like being bothered. My girl has been in this situation for 2 years. I blame her because she keeps this guy in her life knowing he will never committ to her. I guess she keeps hoping on him having an epiphany one day. I told her if she gives him companionship, booty and emotional intimacy without the relationship…then what would he have to gain by removing his options to see whomever else he fancies? There goes that Milk & cow theory….
RAQI…your son is a child and is smarter than a lot of grown men! Shameful. Hey I guess he is to broke to pay for a hooker…this rapist guy!
" I just needed to get that off my belly." Why…the baby doesn't like mayo?
MY2CENTS….sniff, sniff..you so sweet!
KYM….I know I needs to take me trip to Chi-town….Derrick Rose is friggin' gorgeous!

Well, yeah. Now were talking "time horizons" if he got the "girlfriend experience" and she got the "smash and grab", they both got what they wanted. Only one was presuming a longer time horizon.

The U+ Studio Collection, which offers a range of sophisticated aesthetics from raw to sleek, can be found exclusively at contemporary design retail specialists.
Umbra began in 1979, when boyhood friends, Paul Rowan and Les Mandelbaum joined forces to create exciting, everyday products that alter the overall aesthetic of a home, beginning with a printed window shade unlike anything then in the market ("umbra" means shade in latin).
Twenty-five years later, Umbra's award-winning design team - 22 men and women from all over the world and notable outside product designers, all under Paul Rowan's direction - remains the heart and soul of the company. Its offices worldwide now house more than 450 people.

Andy's FLV Joiner 0.6

Set up and use is very intuitive and simple. Make a folder and unzip the contents of the zip file into that. Then, press the FLV command or create a short cut icon. It works with the supported files.
However read the README file! And, the tips and notice on his website to avoid problems.
It is a very fine piece of software.

What's Your Responsibility to Employees?Judy Fishman · The Way I See It · June/July 2014

Amazing guy with Clark Kent (Superman) good looks. Reeds are very respectful to women, and always take care of the people they love. When Reeds fall in love, they give their hearts completely away to the girl that was lucky enough to catch their eye. Reeds never pressure their significant other into anything, and always take the time to tell her how much he loves her and how great she makes him feel. Being extremely attractive, sensitive, and different from all other guys, Reeds have their pick of girls, but they only need the love of one.

Sandy Swadish is the President of GreatStaff Solutions LLC. She provides the following information to Murray Feldmand and the Fox 2 Job Shop.
The New Year is off to a strong hiring surge. Many of our clients within the
professional, manufacturing, and service industries are working to fill
positions that were needed in 2013 but were held off to wait for their 2014
The trend of short term temporary (except for holiday, vacation and
medical/maternity coverages), has dropped off substantially compared to this
time last year. We are seeing long-term placements, temp-to-hire and
direct hire opportunities. However, our clients are more particular now
than ever and are taking longer to make candidate selections as each position
seems to be critical. They want to make the right hiring decision, even
on temp to hire positions. We do expect to see more temporary (seasonal)
positions in late February thru May, for businesses that have peak times during
the Pre-Spring & Spring season.
Even though Michigan's unemployment rate is still high (making us one of the
top 5 states with the highest unemployment rates), we are experiencing a
shortfall in qualified workers. Filling many of our client's positions
are becoming more and more of a challenge. At times it feels as if we
have depleted our workforce in the Metro Detroit area and it raises the concern
that the 8.4% rate may be our new normal?
For those who want to work and have been
unemployed due to the recession and lack of jobs over the past several years,
the word needs to get out that there are many jobs, ranging from entry level,
production/assembly to supervisor, office, customer service, management and

Two Very Different Buyout Candidates for Berkshire Hathaway
Jordan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Warren Buffett's involvement in a $23 billion deal for Heinz (NYSE: HNZ) signifies the Oracle of Omaha's desire to put the trove of cash at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) back to good use.
After taking out Heinz, analysts suspect Berkshire Hathaway has as much as $15 billion in additional cash it needs to deploy – cash that earns shareholders paltry returns invested in cash equivalents, not companies.
But what will Buffett buy next? Investors who can front-run Buffett into his next acquisition stand to make large returns on the premium paid to take the company private. I'll highlight two different companies that could soon be acquisition targets for Berkshire Hathaway.
Two Different Directions
Buffett's next move has to fit two very basic criteria. These deals would be digestable (less than $30 billion in equity) and blend well with Buffett's preference for predictable, borderline boring revenue sources.
Following these basic rules, I've identified two companies that would best fit Buffett's target acquisition size and strategy. One would extend Buffett's buying streak while another would put it to an end. One would give him more capital to invest as he pleases, while another would tie up virtually all of Buffett's remaining cash pile.
My two dark horses for the next Berkshire acquisition are:
The Chubb Corp. (NYSE: CB), AKA "The Float Reloader"
Warren Buffett's penchant for the insurance industry is founded on a huge source of value creation: using the float from an insurance business to make major investments. The Chubb Corp. is well-known as a signature brand in insurance with strict underwriting standards and industry-leading underwriting profits.
Since 2007, the company slashed diluted shares outstanding from 400 million to 275.25 million shares, a sign of shareholder-friendly managers that Buffett loves to have working under him. These share repurchases alone have helped Chubb's share price swell more than 61% in just the past five years despite zero top-line revenue growth.
As an add-on benefit, a Berkshire-led acquisition of Chubb would give Buffett access to a $50 billion investment portfolio to be invested as Buffett sees fit. If the Oracle is ready for more and bigger deals, a Chubb acquisition would give him the capital necessary to do it. A P/E ratio of 14 makes Chubb affordable, even if acquired at a substantial premium to the current market price.
General Mills (NYSE: GIS), AKA "Classic Buffett"
This basic and boring consumer staples company would fit in perfectly with a portfolio that includes companies like Fruit of the Loom and The Pampered Chef.
Any General Mills deal would likely be structured very similarly to Heinz. The company currently operates with significant financial leverage, having posted return on equity greater than 20% every year since 2006 with return on assets ranging between 6% and 7% during the period. General Mills is the kind of company built for a private equity-style, highly levered buyout with cheap debt financed at record low interest rates. The trailing P/E ratio of 16 indicates a good value, as General Mill's earnings history reveals net income is consistent with free cash flows.
A combination of a high-quality brand and more than $1 billion of new free cash flows to Berkshire should make General Mills the ideal next target in the consumer staples space.
Buffett's next deal will be big. Investors who can beat Buffett to the punch stand to earn big premiums when the Oracle comes in with a take private bid.

After reading mixed reviews I decided to book simply because the quote from city airport taxi was by far the lowest. Upon arrival in Naples, while waiting for luggage a gentleman called me on my mobile to inform that the driver was waiting just outside. After what seemed a lifetime our bags arrived and we cleared immigration quickly. The driver was by the entrance in the arrivals holding a sign with my name. The car was clean and the driver was very professional. I was very satisfied with the… Read Full Review

We had a great experience with city airport taxis and wanted to share it with other travellers. We arrived at Malpensa airport 30mins late and we were worried if the driver will wait for us. As we had booked a long distance transfer and at a very competitive price we were somewhat unsure as to what to expect. As soon as we arrived and collected our luggage we headed out and there was our driver. The driver was waiting for us with a sign showing my name. He was older and drove very… Read Full Review

Twice as many drivers are impaired by drugs than alcohol, according to a $650,000 study paid for by the U.S. government, which, despite being $16 trillion in debt, is spending money like a drunken sailor on ecstasy.
Speaking of bankrupt governments, the study was conducted in California, where survey takers risked death to "wave over hundreds of late-night California motorists over two weekends this summer."
Oddly enough, 1,300 people agreed to pull over and take a survey, according to an article in The Orange County Register. Drivers were paid $20 for their time, saliva, and presumably, honesty.
Tests showed that 14 percent of drivers had at least one drug in their system. Marijuana tokers accounted for more than half of the positive drug tests. Illegal drugs and prescription or over-the-counter medications that could impair driving, were responsible for the rest.
The test was able to determine if marijuana had been used in the past few hours.
Only 7 percent of drivers had a measurable level of alcohol on their breath, most well below the legal blood-alcohol limit of .08 percent, the newspaper reported. Nearly a quarter of those with alcohol in their system also tested positive for at least one drug.
One driver was too drunk to answer any questions. It's a good thing he pulled over. He was given a ride and not charged with DUI.
Orange County Sheriff's Department Deputy Wayne Howard said an increase in the usage of prescription pain and anxiety medications is creating more unsafe drivers.
"People think 'drugs,' they think heroin or meth. It's not. It's prescription drugs," said Howard, who must not have been told the test results.
But drugged driving is at least as old as the Scooby Doo gang's Mystery Machine, which I figure to be a mid-'60s Chevy.
A national survey done in 2007 found 16 percent of weekend, nighttime drivers tested positive for illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter medications.
To quote Sgt. Phil Esterhaus, "Let's be careful out there."
November 28th, 2012
12:01 pm
Um, marijuana stays in your system for about 1 month, so all this tells you is that 50% of the drivers has smoked marijuana *some time* in the past 4 weeks or so. That is, unless they did a more detailed testing that would show about what level of THC was in their system. In any case, marijuana does not impair driving nearly as much as strong pain medicine or alcohol. I'm not endorsing smoking pot and driving, but it would be nice if reality could be discussed at some point instead of demonizing the most harmless, yet illegal, drug on the planet.

This article brings to light something that shows the misconception that so many people, EVEN EXPERTS, consistently do. Alcohol IS A DRUG, and is the most abused DRUG of all of them. Don't believe it's a DRUG, just google it, or ask any doctor who knows his stuff, or a chemist. Therein, lies the major part of the problem. It is so accepted socially, that it gets a free pass, which is so wrong in many ways. The DRUG known as alcohol causes many more times the damages and heartaches of any other drug. Check that out too. That is why the US government is so hypocritical in its attack on tobacco. Alcohol should have been included in this all-out war. It's no longer permissible to see anyone with a cigarette in their hand on TV, but an alcoholic drink, no problem! Go figure!!!!!

The first thing that jumps out at you is that this survey is hardly random. Where did they test and who were these people who self-selected to take this test? Obviously these were who people needed $20 or they wouldn't have stopped in their commute to do this survey.
Did they also test for caffeine? Did they test for nicotine levels as well? It seems to me that there is a very selective defining of what constitute a drug or not.
I'd also like to know more information. Did they ask about driving records and compare them? There are more questions than answers in this survey.
November 28th, 2012

Dum-Bass, I agree with you on the fact that alcohol is a drug and that our gov't has long tried to deny this. However, if you are suggesting that prohibition should have never been repealed, then that is the end of our agreement. About 5 times more people die each year from cigs vs. alcohol. What we really need is education and freedom. Let's have an adult conversation about how dangerous each drug is relative to the next. Not classifying alcohol as a drug and then classifying marijuana as being just as dangerous as heroin and cocaine is just plain dumb and not even remotely centered on reality. The perpetual, never-ending war on drugs is a huge failure and money pit. Education is really what is needed here, and legalization (and full regulation) of marijuana of course. You see, people want their alcohol and marijuana and they will get it no matter what big gov't does…history has shown this.

If they have a test for this study that can determine if someone has used cannabis in the past few hours, why don't law enforcement agencies have access to this test? With them, it's either you've used in the last 21-28 days or you haven't. That, in turn, leads to many unnecessary/unwarranted arrests.
November 28th, 2012

Marijuana is nothing compared to what many of these prescription drugs do. We now live in a time where prescription drugs flow like water. As someone else eluded to, THOSE arer the true drugs along with alcohol. Alcohol is deadly. Period. It is the worst if you ask me. This test was a little insightful but definitely has too many outliers.

It's not the alcohol that's so bad. It's the person doing the drinking's inability to control how much they consume, and their inability to judge what they can and cannot do when they're drinking. In other words it is a drug that impairs a person's ability to think straight. There are numbers of honkey tonks all up and down the roads with parking lots full of cars that are going to be operated by people who are going to be dui and this is perfectly fine yet they spend hundreds of thousands to run a study on who's doing more of what. Well, they got their results…………..now what.

Thanks for those sympathy laws now our society has substituted one legal drug for one that is illegal thanks to Mothers Against Drinking. It used to be MADD but that has changed to prohibition by sympathy laws by MAD. The feminazis have won that one and the kids are on illegal drugs and they are driving without any fear. Thank you MAD! May you should change you name to Mothers Against Drugged Driving?

Big differences in the mental aspects of alcohol and marijuana.
Alcohol users believe themselves to be indestructible, bigger than life, and obnoxiously aggressive.
While marijuana, like alcohol and all drugs, does affect each user differently, by and large, most users are responsible, relaxed, observant, and in control of their motor skills and risk aversion.
We should continue to do our best to keep drunks off the road.
People think that marijuana legalization will increase usage. It may a little bit.
But seriously, do you think anyone who wants to smoke pot is having any problem obtaining pot? Legalization will not drive a social stampede.

Alcohol kills around 80k Americans a year (NOT including deaths by DUI etc) This is deaths by alcoholism, cirrhosis, overdose etc.+ (Not only is this acceptable, its downright expected of most young people and adults in the social world)
Tobacco kills 400,000 Americans a year – subsidized by the US Govt
Marijuana kills 0. but attracts 20 billion a year industry around policing and warehousing (jailing) users.

Comments about Baudville Embosser - Large Custom Complete:
We needed this embosser to make a seal that will be placed on our new residency programs' graduation certificates and for application for medical licenses/training certificates. We created our own seal with the help of Baudville. They worked with us extensively, tweaking and adjusting the artwork until a truly impressive seal was created. Our CEO, when signing off on the graduation certificate, was very impressed with the design and the quality of the impression. We appreciate the excellent quality of this product and the effort that was expended to make our program's seal professional. This was not a sloppy job at all.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt. The product arrived in excellent condition, packed carefully and the packaging was not damaged in any way. The embosser itself is extremely easy to use and makes beautiful, bold impressions.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

One of the most beautiful spots in the world!
If you are looking for a peaceful place where everything that meets the eye is beautiful and magical, you will find it in Borgo Lianti! We spent two weeks in house 4 with four little children and we all fell in love with this wonderful place: the beautiful garden, the very clean and well-equipped house, the romantic outside showers, the hammocks, the covered terrace, the wild rosemary and salvia, the stunning view of the sea and of course the two friendly dogs! The long, sandy beach of Porto Liscia can be reached within a couple of minutes and offers plenty of space for surfers, families and people looking for a quiet spot to relax. Santa Teresa di Gallura and Palau are very close and offer everything you need during your holiday: lots of nice little restaurants, pizzerias and gelaterias as well as shops and little streets to stroll. The owner and her family are excellent hosts and Borgo Lianti is a truly unique spot, recommendable to anyone who enjoys taste and design in harmony with the natural environment of the beautiful island of Sardinia!
