This patent application US20130047644 A1 refers to using Vetiver grass roots for cooling screens. Seems strange to attempt to patent this use as Vetiver roots have been used for this purpose for millennia in India, and the knowledge has been in the public domain for centuries. Patently unpatentable?

According to the Wikipedia page for the plant, there is a reference to cooling uses in the book CRC Handbook of alternative cash crops published in 1993.
I do not own this book, so I can not personally verify the claim.

It is so easy to use Avery templates. No more juggling with how many inches the label is, how many inches to leave in the middle or on the margins - just type and print.
I use them all the time for all my labels.
This review is from AVERY Assorted Designs Filing Label, 30 per sheet:
Someone in the office had previously downloaded what was supposed to be the 5366 label template. However, whenever tabbing between labels, it would do crazy stuff and ruin my formatting. When trying to delete old labels, it would delete extra things and was just a mess. So I decided to go online and download it, brand-new. I found the label template with absolutely no problems at all, and downloaded it just as easy. No more formatting problems. No more deleting problems. The only problem is now finding more things to label!! Great product! When it comes to labels, Avery is easily the best.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
These were done on my Syncrowave 250DX (of course).
Both are 304 SS. The square is 1"x.120" and the round tube is 2"x.065" (16ga).
Base setting on the machine was around 100 but I always use the foot pedal to get it where it feels good for what I'm welding.
Shielding gas is 100% Ar at about 20cfm with a #5 cup, no gas lens. 3/32", 2% Thoriated Tungsten. 1/16" 308 filler on the square tube and fuse welded the round tube.
A huge problem when welding SS can come from pulling the filler rod out of the shielding gas between dips. If you are using filler, make sure you keep the filler close enough to the weld pool to remain inside the gas cloud, if not it will contaminate the weld in a hurry.
I hope that helps.
- PaulThe only stupid question is the one that never got asked.
wile i'm not a pro by any means i have herd to increase the flow and the post flow as well. i do know SS is verry unhappy with air..
so far my atemps with SS have been good, i increase the flow rate and the post flow times a little when i do SS. although i have done verry little of it, what i have done came out verry nice.
looks like ZTFab has it down pat.thanks for the help
hope i helped

Stainless hints
I work for a company that makes airplane engine parts for GE, and Rolls Royce and all the material we use is ethier SS or Inconel 625, and 718. you mentioned back purgeing this will help to keep the HEAT DOWN!!!!! all we use is straight Argon with 5680 welding wire on the stainless. The biggest thing when it comes down too it is the correct heat right size wire and speed too hot and you get what has been happing to you deep grey and nasty lookin weld all of our ss welds turn out a nice golden color, the rainbow color is the pefect heat angle wire and speed. And how we do it for example on a but joint no gap when the two plates fuse then you have the right heat I then ease up a bit but still keep it to a good puddle and just dab the rod into the front of the puddle. If you want to back purge then be carefull because if it is to high then it will blow back at you and then it looks realy bad.
I hope this helps out and makes some since. I will try and get some pics of some ss welds we got on the floor now. Good luck

I work with nothing but stainless and always use a gas lens wherever i can. Be careful as you can have too much flow which causes turbulance, drawing oxygen into the shielding gas. 10-16 lpm should be ample with a lens.
Another factor is surface contamination make sure the metals spotless. We use IPA or solvent.

I have had better luck with a standard nozzle than a gas lens on stainless. I believe you need to turn up your flow with the GL on stainless and you will get better results. I suspect that because i thought of a GL as a gas saver it made no sense to me to increase the sheilding gas. If you over heat it or fail to sheild it while cooling you will not get the golden color. You should always sheild the back side if it is heated to red hot or better. Argon works best, but solar flux is good too. Its just hard to clean off.
SS seems to cool slower, or just needs shielded longer to. so don't be in a rush to pull to the torch away at the end of the weld, be shore to let the post flow cool the last of the weld.thanks for the help
hope i helped

This is a similar model to the Epi bass played by Johnny Cash's bass player Marshall Grant on his hit a Boy Name Sue and shown on the cover of his album Live at San Quentin album. Sheryl had the honor of Johnny Cash covering her song Redemption Day in 2002. This bass is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs but shows a little bit of use. This wasn't used on the road but from Sheryl's home studio. Sheryl is an American songwriting legend and I doubt a day goes by when you don't hear her music. This comes with the original hard case, a set list and a letter of provenance from Willie. $6000 On Hold

Should alcohol be banned or be more regulated?
So many deaths, car crashes, marriages have been broken up due to the consumption of alcohol.
What good does alochol do for our society. Alcohol is far more dangerous than marijuana. When was the last time you ever heard of a person getting into a car accident due to marijuana or starting a fight due to marijuana.
Was the lifting of prohibition a mistake?
Gail .
Oct 14 2012: The failed war on drugs is a code for racism and disenfranchising blacks. Blacks, who are slightly less likely to use marijuana are 10 times more likely to be arrested for simple possession. The look of slavery has changed, but not the condition. Prison labor is as cheap as Chinese labor, and shipping costs are greatly reduced. Prisons are now private, for-profit venture and a lot of money is being spent lobbying for harsher laws.
- +2
Here's a good article that talks about how profitable drug laws are for political cronies.
http://www.dylanratigan.com/2012/01/16/occupy-the-dream-the-mathematics-of-racism/Oct 17 2012: It is not about prohibition it is about enforcement....and we all see how well the "War on Drugs" is going.
We can't keep drugs out of our jails, let alone off the streets.
Rex Edward
Oct 15 2012: Here is a study of the effects of Marijuana on driving.
- +1
From this study, the results are:
* Current users of marijuana prefer THC doses of about 300 ug/kg to achieve their desired "high".
* It is possible to safely study the effects of marijuana on driving on highways or city streets in the presence of other traffic.
* Marijuana smoking impairs fundamental road tracking ability with the degree if impairment increasing as a function of the consumed THC dose.
* Marijuana smoking which delivers THC up to a 300 ug/kg dose slightly impairs the ability to maintain a constant headway while following another car.
* A low THC dose (100 ug/kg) does not impair driving ability in urban traffic to the same extent as a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.04g%.
* Drivers under the influence of marijuana tend to over-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and compensate when they can; e.g. by increasing effort to accomplish the task, increasing headway or slowing down, or a combination of these.
* Drivers under the influence of alcohol tend to under-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and do not invest compensatory effort.
* The maximum road tracking impairment after the highest THC dose (300 ug/kg) was within a range of effects produced by many commonly used medicinal drugs and less than that associated with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08g% in previous studies employing the same test.' ~ The study.
"The conclusion is that Alcohol affects drivers worse than Pot smoking, under the same driving circumstances. We can draw the conclusion that pot smokers are safer drivers than alcohol drinkers." ~ Rex Edward.
Gail .
Oct 14 2012: Putting pot into the black market is the mistake. Alcoholism went UP during prohibition, and went down after it. Alcoholism makes you violent. Pot makes you sleepy.
- +1
This being said, I don't think that government should be establishing black markets for anything. They are dangerous.
Oct 14 2012: I do agree that banning alcohol is not the way to go. We should focus on education and prevention as well as implement tough laws or implement a technology to discourage drunk driving.
However allowing hard drugs to be accessible openly will lead to huge problems for individuals and societies. Hard drugs can become highly addictive and damaging to the individual in a very short period of time. The society will be affected as crime and medical expensive will substantially raise.
Gail .
Oct 15 2012: If you look at Portugal, you will see how drug use, crime, and sexually transmitted diseases DECREASED when drug possession (all drugs) were decriminalized. It's still unlawful to traffic, but people may possess a 10-day supply. Pot is overlooked, though it is included in the law. Hard drug users who are arrested (public intoxication) face a panel that contains a judge and a social worker and one more. This panel has the right to force treatment, require education and/or fines, or let the user go. It's not a criminal offense, so there is no criminal record.
- 0
Holland also has amazing results, and they found that by legalizing pot possession in small amounts (for adults), hard drug use plummeted, hard drug users were forced into treatment, The streets are finally empty of addicts, which decreases crime, and STDs dramatically decreased, resulting in lower health-care costs for tax payers.
These two countries are finding the same thing that America found when it experimented with abolition.
Close down the black market, violence goes way down, drug use decreases because there is an acceptable alternative.
The black market is very profitable - not just for the black marketeers, but for those companies and government agencies that thrive because of it. It's also very dangerous.
Oct 15 2012: It does not look like the evidence is clear on the consequences of legalizing certain drugs:
e.g. Reported lifetime use of "all illicit drugs" increased from 7.8% to 12%, lifetime use of cannabis increased from 7.6% to 11.7%, cocaine use more than doubled, from 0.9% to 1.9%, ecstasy nearly doubled from 0.7% to 1.3%, and heroin increased from 0.7% to 1.1%[14] It has been proposed that this effect may have been related to the candor of interviewees, who may have been inclined to answer more truthfully due to a reduction in the stigma associated with drug use.[15] However, during the same period, the use of heroin and cannabis also increased in Spain and Italy, where drugs for personal use was decriminalised many years earlier than in Portugal [15][16] while the use of Cannabis and heroin decreased in the rest of Western Europe.[Oct 14 2012: i would appreciate if you stopped calling me immoral because i enjoy alcohol. i would also appreciate if you did not want to punish me for it.
Oct 14 2012: You may drink responsibly, but there are a lot of morons who don't and end up running somebody over because of it.
Oct 14 2012: so i get a license or what?
Oct 14 2012: A stamp on one's left forearm would do. Whoever got this stamp is a responsible drinker.Oct 14 2012: The point is not whether you get a license or not, it's that not everyone who likes a drink is like you. Like I said, a lot of them are alcoholic morons.
Rick Ryan
Oct 15 2012: So if I use your reasoning Kevin, we should abolish food too. That would solve the problem of the "morons" who over-eat it and cause the extra costs of medical care for heart disease and other things caused by being overweight.
- +2
Although that would also cause the rest of us "non-morons" to starve to death. So let's not do that.Oct 15 2012: okay, kevin, so what? i should not drink alcohol because other people abuse it? does that sound cool to you?Oct 14 2012: Illegal. There might be black market for alcohol in that case, but at least it won't be so readily available. Alcohol is perhaps the most dangerous drug. Besides bath slats.Oct 19 2012: Hi Jonathan,
I don't think lifting the prohibition was a mistake. Alcohol is not the only problem, but it is always easier to blame one cause as opposed to try to understand the multiple factors that contribute to a certain outcome.
What good does alcohol do for society? Well, I guess the main benefit to our society is alcohol's ability to inhibit our natural tendencies to both isolate ourselves and isolate others. Our brains lower our barriers and we become slightly more tolerant of other people. That's just a wild guess. Not to say that there are no bad sides to alcohol, but it does have some social function for some people
What good does a vehicle that can run faster than 75 mph do for society? If that is the top speed limit, why not simply tell car manufacturers that it is illegal to sell cars that can run faster than that?
And why not design a car that can detect whether you are not in control (by measuring alcohol in your breath or by checking your reflexes while maneuvering the car) Why not design a car that actually slows down automatically when you are driving too close to the next vehicle? Or maybe design a car that can detect when you are texting and driving and helps you to slow down and stop on the side of the road?
I think the solution is not just to cut alcohol consumption. If car accidents is the main concern, why not do it from this other perspective?
cheersOct 19 2012: We don't need a change of law. We need a change of culture. Alcohol isn't too available, it's too socially normative. As a 23-year-old, I often feel like my entire social life revolves around drinking, simply because my friends and I are too unimaginative to think of other things to do.
Obviously a cultural shift is even more complex than a legal one, but I think the culture is the real problem here. If people felt more comfortable being the only sober person at a party, they'd be more likely to step up as designated driver. Stepping into the alcohol aisle at a supermarket is dizzying -- it's incredible how much money and thought goes into creating 17,000 cool varieties, money and thought that should probably be going into other social activities for young people. I'm not saying that the same social pressure doesn't exist later in life, but I think it's particularly strong for those in their teens and early 20s.
We don't need to regulate alcohol more. We just need to balance it out.Oct 18 2012: I was part of a discussion a few weeks ago regarding this very issue, the dangers of alchol, and the rate of abuse in the US.
My question is can we learn from your European counterparts, much of European nation has low drinking age and at that they are relaxed not severly enforced like in the US. Does that right of passage turning 21 and all of a sudden they are now allowed to legally consume beverages. Think about how when you first got your lisence did you drive everywhere you can could not wait to get behind that wheel and go for a ride ?, now think what if driving as addictive and all that driving that first years, has now make to "need" that every day just to function and get through life ???
I know not exactly best example but just a concept.Oct 17 2012: Is their an effort right now to appeal the law of Marijuana being a federal crime/offense?
Or our the new laws just making it legal by state level for medical use?
If the prohibition of alcohol was a good choice then why not end the prohibition of Marijuana?
Oct 18 2012: Thge initiative in Washington State is, I believe, expected to pass and is about general use rather than medical.
But national laws take precedence.Oct 17 2012: @Edward Long have you ever had surgery? If you have chances are that you have been prescribed painkillers or been put on morphine while in the hospital. Heroin turns into morphine when it hits the brain. Can you bolster any evidence that putting that substance in your body is worse for you than alcohol? If you can please enlighten me.
Obviously heroin is far more dangerous when abused, its the most addictive drug on the planet not to mention the health issues that come as a result of being an intravenous drug user. You said alcohol is only dangerous when abused, so is heroin....
My answer to your question about more restrictions on alcohol is no. That would do nothing, but cause a spike in crime. What needs to be done is a campaign to show young people the effects of alcoholism, as well as pointing out that the fairytales the media spins about the good times and drunken debauchery that occurs on MTV is lala land that has almost no connection to the potential realties of bing drinking.Oct 17 2012: Why was prohibition lifted? Because people drank alcohol anyway, and it created a huge black market, controlled by gangsters instead of the government, with no tax revenues. The same is happening with drugs today. If abortions are banned, the same will happen with abortions.
Drugs are legal in Netherlands, and I have not heard of Netherlands going to hell any time soon.
People should take more responsibility for their decisions. When government takes control of our choices, of course, we have someone to blame for our misery, but it also means the loss of freedom. When shall people stop forcing beliefs and opinions on each other? It does not work. People will find their way into misery anyway.Oct 15 2012: Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of .015 of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) every hour. 1 Thus a person with a very high BAC of .15 will have no measurable alcohol in the bloodstream after ten hours (.15 divided by .015 = 10). Here are some other examples:
BAC Level Metabolism Time in Hours
.10 6.66
.08 5.33
.05 3.33
.02 1.33
In the state of Georgia, USA, the legal limit of BAC for a driver is .08. This means anyone driving on the roads in Georgia with an alcohol level of .08 or higher can be charged with drunk driving. Drivers under 21 can be charged with a BAC as little as .02 or effectively one drink of alcohol. For commercial drivers, charges can be brought on with a BAC of .04. If a suspect is found to have a BAC of .15 or higher, they may encounter enhanced penalties.Oct 15 2012: Alcohol, like all drugs, effects people differently according to the their metabolism. I don't drink Alcohol except wine on very few occasions, never to the point of intoxication. Drinking alcohol at home to the point of intoxication can have undesirable results on your family life. It can impair your ability to handle emergency situations, such as your child falls and breaks a bone or worse. It has been proven to effect your driving habits and ability.
Marijuana (Pot), also causes similar effects on the human body. It definitely effects the way you drive and handle emergency situations. Imagine your surgeon, operating on you while high on Pot? Imagine a police officer holding a gun pointed at you while high on pot.
While both drugs inhibit your abilities, Pot is inferior in it's ability to constantly affect the body to the degree that alochol does. I have seen people high on Pot and others high on Alcohol, at the same time, react differently to the same situation. For instance: In combat when mortars start coming in, Pot smokers make it to the bunker faster than the Alcohol drinkers. Afterwards, the Pot smokers have to get high all over again, while the Alcohol drinkers are still drunk and, most of them just hit the ground instead of finding the bunker.
This action did not occur with every Pot smoker or Alcohol drinker but it did occur often enough to draw a distinction between the two states of incapacitation. On the down side, Pot increases your sense of fear, making it possible you will open up on anything that moves before establishing a real target.
The only real state of mind that allows us to act normally, is the uninhibited state. It has been proven that any amount of alcohol will effect the way you drive and state laws usually allow people to exceed the minimum amount that causes less effect. Anyone who drinks should allow themselves time for their body to metabolize the alcohol before attempting to drive.Oct 15 2012: Considering the increased cases of drunken driving , ideally it should be banned ... but banning it all of a sudden is gonna cause an obvious outcry from public....
So a safer way is to regulate the consumption of alcohol .However we have a challenge here . As different people get sober at different quantity of alcohol. So one will need to study different cases and come up with an amount of alcohol which is safe for consumption.Oct 15 2012: @ Brian Klink RE: "edward, alcohol is chemically addictive. . ."
You are preaching a fallacious sermon to the choir. None of the things you say are true of alcohol. They are all true of people who chronically abuse alcohol. Much like the gun debate, alcohol does not kill people, people who abuse alcohol kill people. Do you have statistical support for the assertion that alcohol is "far more dangerous than marijuana."?
Oct 15 2012: wether or not the alcohol is abused does not change anything about the truth of what I said. It still causes this, and no guns are not ingested and metabolized by the brain so its not quite analogous to the gun meme you presented.
let me ask you this can you find 1 just 1 legitimate document that states marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol and or more detrimental to society(please nothing related to marijuana prohibition)? I sent you two legitimate links and you obviously didn't look at either one.
How about radiation is it deadly or just deadly to those exposed to high doses? Alcohol is chemically addictive if you don't think it is go to your local rehab and look at someone withdrawing from alcohol, then take a few more minutes go and find someone who is withdrawing from marijuana and then try to tell me that alcohol is less or equally as dangerous as marijuana.
I don't understand the point your trying to make I never argued for prohibition of alcohol, or marijuana for that matter. So is your argument that marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol or equally as dangerous? I don't get it?
Oct 15 2012: You want to be allowed to insist that alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana simply because you say so? I do not accept pro-marijuana websites presenting biased opinion based on selective data in support of an agenda. The assertion may be a true statement, I do not know, and I will not know until I see reliable, unbiased statistical data proving it. I am simply asking you who do claim to know to share the facts, not your opinions. Please do not include me in further tangential excursions. Thank you.

CNN, on the changing debate. "That is what makes a subtle, nuanced move by the American Medical Association at a board meeting on Tuesday such a remarkable twist in the dialogue. The AMA shifted a 72-year-old policy about smoked marijuana, acknowledging that there could be some medical benefits, and urging reconsideration of the drug's Schedule I status (Schedule I is a drug of abuse with "no accepted medical use." Heroin and ecstasy are also Schedule I)." http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2009/11/11/the-changing-debate-over-medical-marijuana/

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2722956/Oct 15 2012: they are all dergenous things .all harm to our health .if you want to know which is heavier .the answer is the amount of your eating .the more the harmer ,the more the harmer .ok maybe less drinking is good to health ,but no smoking .these datas are from chinese living
Oct 15 2012: Thank you for the data from Chinese living. What does your word "dergenous" mean?
Oct 15 2012: it is my fault to have spelt it wrong it is 'dangerous "Oct 15 2012: We should end the prohibition of marijuana... but prohibiton of alcohol will help no one. Prohibition of popular substances leads to gangs, violence, and mass incarceration, usually of minorities.
Oct 15 2012: RE: "USA Today on Bristol Univ. . . "
Thank you for the links David. My thoughts after reading, in the order you presented them:
1) Suggests alcohol is the 5th worst drug and marijuana is 11th. Relevant but not undisputed.
2) Addresses potential medical applications of marijuana. Not relevant to Mr. Marschall's assertion.
3) Strongly pro-marijuana doctor touts medical potential for marijuana. Not immediately relevant.
4 thru 6) Re: tobacco. Not immediately relevant.
7) Mostly "suggested" indications. Direct conflict with #3. Tentative and inconclusive.
8) Both alcohol and marijuana impair driving ability and are of great concern.
Thanks again for your response to my request for supporting data!Oct 14 2012: every thing depends upon its uses how we use any thing.if we use alcohol only in parties level may be it can be use as a drink .but if we use it at public places,in schools ,colleges then it should be banned.
secondly religion ISLAM does not allow to use it in any condition as it is harmful for health. it damages our lungs .Oct 14 2012: Drinking alcohol responsibly during a meal with friends, or at a restaurant is fine.
The problem is with people that consume too much, like with college students, and with underage drinking.Oct 14 2012: many people they know that it is bad for their health to drink while they can not control themself
i think it is a long time that we have raised the habit to dring when meeting or eating .as for me .it can make m feel good when drinking .and i think if there is not wine when eating .i feel there is something wrong .i can not eat well .
if you ask me should or not ,my reply is yes in the sense of right or wrong .while i just can't stop drinking it .i think it is part of my feeling .on this pot i dont want it be downOct 14 2012: Please substantiate with facts and statistics your assertion that alcohol is far more dangerous than marijuana.
Oct 14 2012: Do you have any idea how many people die from drunk driving every year in the U.S. alone?
Oct 15 2012: Yes, those stats are readily available. I asked you for stats to support your assertion that alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana. Do you have that information or am I expected to take your word for it? Also, is the number of traffic fatalities going to be the litmus test for your assertion? Are there not other factors to be considered?
Oct 15 2012: edward, alcohol is chemically addictive, commonly induces rage, causes severe brain deterioration in long time users, causes seizures hallucination and potential death upon withdrawal, and obviously kills people in traffic accidents quite often.
http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Marijuana#EffectsOct 15 2012: Everything you say is true, Brian...for ABUSERS of alcohol.
There are also studies that indicate that limited use of alcohol is actually healthy in the prevention of heart disease and other areas of human health.
So, it boils down to which studies you want to refer to, and whether the use of the alcohol is abused or not.
The same would apply to marijuana. Some medical experts support its use for certain medical conditions. But obviously, if someone smoked a joint and got behind the wheel of a car, it could be safely argued they might be "dangerous", too.Oct 15 2012: Kevin, what Edward is trying to get you to do is "broaden your horizens" and not use "tunnel vision" arguements.
The fallacy of many non-critical thinking stances is that they use only ONE example to try to justify the claim being made. That is like a statistician using only the "data numbers" they want to use, and ignoring all the rest of them.
Alcohol use, or more correctly ABUSE, is a problem for society. But it can be a problem in many more areas than just driving and traffic deaths. And the arguement can ALSO be made that when alcohol is NOT abused, it is not a problem to society.
Edward has a valid point. If you are going to claim marijuana use is not as "traffic deadly" when driving cars, show us the facts. No one should be expected just to take your word about it.
Oct 15 2012: Rick this is in reply to the comment you left me. Theres really not much evidence either way that marijuana impairs driving. Heres the difference, go and abuse alcohol and you can die, there are no reported overdoses that can be traced directly to the chemical agents in marijuana. Like I said if you have ever seen someone hallucinating and shaking from an alcohol withdrawal you just wouldn't even argue that marijuana is equatable in danger or harm. Also yes this comes from abuse of alcohol, so is heroin worse than marijuana? According to what your saying it isn't.Oct 15 2012: @Brian
(Quote): "Also yes this comes from abuse of alcohol, so is heroin worse than marijuana? According to what your saying it isn't."
Brian, that is a totally illogical conclusion and illustrates several logic fallacies, one of which is False Analogy. I never implied heroin and marijuana were similar.
The most important fallacy in your arguement is your second sentence in your reply..."Theres really not much evidence either way that marijuana impairs driving." There is either evidence or there isn't evidence...how "much" is irrelevant. If there is ANY evidence produced by reasonable study that marijuana use impairs motor skill function or cognitive thinking ability/perception at the time, then it can be said it would also impair the ability of the person to operate the motor vehicle "safely". The number of tradfic deaths caused by either substance...alcohol or marijuana...is not the mitigating factor.
Society has accepted a certain LEGAL level of alcohol consumption as not being abusive, such as the blood alcohol content levels when driving a car. Over the legal limit, you are abusing it at the time under the circumstances of driving a car. That is a totally different kind of abuse than the abuse that leads to the extreme medical conditions you describe.
Oct 15 2012: Rick, you stated alcohol is only dangerous when abused, the same is true for heroin, does that make heroin and alcohol equal in their danger? Im just simply following your logic. No logical fallacy here...
Yes society has accepted that a certain level of alcohol is not abusive... Whats the point you are trying to make? The evidence in regards to marijuana causing impairment to drivers is very thin and really cant be determined to be true or false(there is legitimate evidence both ways). My point was very simple Rick, abuse marijuana and you do not die or hallucinate upon withdrawal, you may have some very slight irritation upon withdrawal of marijuana, nothing anywhere in the same stratosphere as alcohol. To encapsulate my argument is that marijuana is at least equally or less dangerous than alcohol.Oct 15 2012: Well, in that case, the next time I want to consume a drug, I'll have a scotch on the rocks. You can take a shot of heroin.
Why did you introduce the subject of heroin into the topic in the first place? The topic author introduced the comparison of alcohol and marijuana in the topic question. Where in the heck did you reason that heroin is in the same category? Most medical experts would never consider comparing heroin and alcohol as "equals".
Despite your claims, I didn't either.
Oct 15 2012: no thanks rick just showing you how poor of an argument it is to say that alcohol is not dangerous its just dangerous when you abuse it..well so is heroin or other drugs does that mean they equate to alcohol or marijuana it has no bearing on the truth of alcohol and its dangerousness.
Oct 16 2012: Mr. Klink, are you arguing that heroin is only dangerous if abused?
By the way, the topic is asking if alcohol should be banned or more heavily controlled. You are getting pretty far from that topic when you focus on whether alcohol is dangerous or not. There are more than suffucient age prohibition laws and legal usage limit controls in place. The question being asked here is do we need even more?Oct 16 2012: Poor argument? OK.
I see you are a psychology major. Assuming you become a practitioner of the discipline, are you telling me....
1. A patient comes to you for treatment.
2. During your analysis of the patient, you discover the patient uses alcohol in an acceptable manner within the laws established for it's use. Under those laws or other competant medical authority's standards, the patient would not be considered an alcoholic or an abuser of alcohol.
3. Would you insist to the patient that he/she WAS an alcoholic or an alcohol abuser?
4. Would you insist to the patient that the patient was using a drug...alcohol (in a responsible manner)...that was just as damaging as the "recreational use" of heroin?
I hope not.
It just appears to me that you have very strong personal views about the consumption of ANY level of alcohol. That's OK. But they aren't supported by the medical disciplines who define what alcohol deppendancy, abuse, or alcoholism is. And the laws governing the use of alcohol don't support your views either. Alcohol use is considered "OK" by the medical community up to a certain point, where it then becomes a problem for the user. And laws reflect that same philosophy, in the sense you aren't illegal drinking and driving until you reach a certain threshhold of blood alcohol content.
Oct 17 2012: Aw man, Rick notice that I never ever stated that alcohol should be more regulated or even less consumed. You made the argument to me that alcohol is only dangerous when it is abused, I replied well so is Heroin. The point I was making is that wether it is or it isn't more dangerous when the substance isn't abused has no bearing on its level of danger. I used the analogy to heroin because heroin is obviously very dangerous, more so than marijuana and alcohol because of its addictive properties. I was just driving the point home that alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana and this is so because of likelihood of abuse as well as the end result of abuse.
Just to make it clear I think America should end the war on drugs with exception of a few.
By the way its funny you ask as I am in training to be an alcohol and drug counselor. So no theres no way I would ever tell anybody who uses alcohol moderately to stop drinking. Also no I would never suggest that recreational heroin use(if there is such a thing, from what I understand this isn't possible)poses the same level of danger as an occasional drink.
I have no strong personal view that any consumption of alcohol is bad thats ridiculous. What I do believe is that marijuana is not as dangerous as alcohol.Oct 13 2012: Organized crime was at its height during Prohibition. Every time you make a scarce commodity illegal, gangs and violent crime proliferate.
"When was the last time you ever heard of a person getting into a car accident due to marijuana..." Really, Jonathan? I'm going to believe you just didn't think that through well, because I can't believe you're that misinformed. Shame on you for such a foolish statement.Oct 13 2012: That would be fine as long as you do not ban any of my brands, and in case I come down with some malady the law should read that I can switch brands in order to cure my malady.Oct 13 2012: The world would be a lot better off if alcohol and marijuana switched places. But they didn't and now the genie is out of the bottle and no amount of prohibition will prevent its abuse in any society that has a long history of alcohol consumption.

I don't have much to add, except rhymezone.com has been invaluable to me. When I write poetry, I keep two windows open (in addition to the word processor). One is rhymezone.com. It's ease of use makes it the perfect tool to find words that rhyme and, as you mention, it has words categorized by number of syllables.
Sometimes I work my poetry backwards. If I have a good word or thought I'd like to end a stanza with, I write it down then work on what precedes it.
The other window I keep open is thefreedictionary.com. (This is not to find rhymes but to find synonyms to make my writing "stronger.") Near the bottom of the page (for whatever word you entered) is a list of synonyms, I usually scroll down to that list.
I can't say enough about these two resources. They along with FaithWriters (website and FW friends) are what have helped me to be where I am at this stage of my writing.
Thank you for asking.

EDGE Holiday Gift Guide: Fragrance & Grooming
One of the more thoughtful gifts we ever gave was when we were sixteen. Our best girlfriend was turning sixteen that summer and her parents orchestrated a dinner party at a country club. Because she was the girl "Most Likely to Move to Manhattan" and also "Best Dressed," and therefore, most fashionable, we knew almost intuitively what to buy her: Chanel No. 5.
The purchase took more from our wallet than we had anticipated, but the department store gift-wrapped it - and when the perfume was opened that evening, it was clear that we had scored points - not only with our best girlfriend, but also with her parents.
For as far back as the Three Kings, fragrance has symbolized a gift of great largesse. Two of the three Magi brought fragrance, while the third brought jewelry. You can't go wrong with that combo.
Fragrances are gifts that imply considered thought. In all likelihood, the giver has tested the fragrance and imagined it on the recipient. As Marilyn replied when asked what she wore to bed, "Chanel No. 5."
Fragrance is a personal thing - and one that keeps the giver in mind with each inhalation. Take time to inhale - and imagine what you'd like to smell on the ones you love.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Aqua Universalis Forte
'I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills,' wrote Isak Dinesen.
Years ago, we had a country house on the Cape, where the winter could linger through April - and where a lily of the valley might peep through a spring snow. Aqua Universalis Forte is an homage to that transition between seasons.
A floral woody musk, determinedly for both men and woman, Aqua Universalis Forte is perfumer Francis Kurkdjian's continuation of his fascination with bright and sparkling scents that he explored in his eau de toilette Aqua Universalis. While the addition of the word "Forte" denotes the fragrance as a more potent eau de parfum, "forte" also implies both strength and, as used musically, a loudness.
What is strong and loud about Aqua Universalis Forte is equivalent to the sight of that green shoot of the lily of the valley rising from a bed a white. For what is stronger and louder than the announcement of spring on a field of snow?
With a remarkable concentration of 40%, Aqua Universalis Forte has strength in its silage, leaving a splendid trail that lingers throughout the day. Similar to its eau de toilette sibling, the fragrance opens with Sicilian citron, enhanced in this version by a brilliantly bright bergamot. A bouquet of white flowers follows - the lilies of the valley with white lilacs and Egyptian jasmine and Moroccan roses - and the effect is exhilarating.
A green and white fragrance, radiant and effervescent, Aqua Universalis Forte is as elegant as a watercress sandwich eaten in a conservatory redolent with winter blossoms: the cress, the butter, a tangle of savory with a hint of sweetness. Light wood appears in the drydown, alongside musk and a bit of tobacco.
A maestro of tasteful seduction, Kurkdjian has packaged Aqua Universalis Forte in his signature soft mauve with gold engraved lettering. The sliding box with brocade pull is a stunning container for such a splendid fragrance, which is bottled with a solid golden stopper. Aqua Universalis Forte is made for presentation and celebration.
According to Kurkdjian, "A good perfume is...when the scent and the person become one." Many fragrance aficionados will be tempted to claim Aqua Universalis Forte as their signature scent. With an impeccable pedigree complemented by a refined sensibility, Aqua Universalis Forte is a modern classic.
PRICE: $265.00 / 70 ml. / 2.4 fl. oz.

Jouany: Marrakech
For years, all through childhood, there were oranges at the bottom of our Christmas stockings. Every year, there was a ripe orange, its bittersweet smell emanating from the red felt fabric. No Christmas was complete without the smell and taste of a fresh orange.
For more than a quarter of a century, Christophe Jouany has been celebrated as a fashion photographer - but it was a decade ago that Jouany began wearing a fragrance of his own making, one that evoked his home in the Caribbean.
Recently, we found ourselves at the launch of Jouany's new fragrance line - and if the crush of people was any indication, there's little question that Jouany's career as a perfumer will be every bit as successful as his years as a photographer.
Jouany's concept marries fragrance to locale. As a photographer, Jouany traveled to some of the world's most exotic and beautiful destinations, and in creating his own fragrance line, he sought to evoke an olfactory odyssey.
A bitter orange bursts forth from Jouany Marrakech - as if you've arrived at the end of a long journey across a desert to find that an oasis has materialized. A grove of orange trees beckons and you are immersed in an intoxicating cloud of citrus. Orange blossoms fall across your table as you sip from a glass of freshly squeezed juice. The scent of grapefruit mingles with orange. You could linger here all afternoon, in this citrus sanctuary. Later, in the gloaming, there's a whiff of jasmine mixed with neroli. Nightfall has cooled the air and as you stretch across your bedding, Herodotus at your side, the scent of patchouli hangs about your pillow. How fitting that Herodotus has written of the ritual use of cannibis by the Scythians.
With all the complexity of a bittersweet orange in a land of arid beauty, Jouany's Marrakech is an ode to Paul and Jane Bowles and Michael Ondaatje's "The English Patient" - and to a city that inspires with the mere mention of its name.
PRICE: $125.00 / 1.7 fl. oz. EDP

Blood Concept: B Parfum
One winter, due to the abrupt loss of a godparent and the unexpected find of a gift from a well-known oenophile, we sat in the library of my godfather and drank from a bottle of 1906 Chateau Margaux. It was a ceremonial occasion, filled with a kind of reverence as we uncorked the heralded bottle and let the notes of deep, dark stone fruit waft through our nostrils and across our palate.
My godfather who loved all things woody and spicy, along with the smoke of incense and black tea, would have been over the moon for Blood Concept B Parfum. The fragrance opens with a rich black cherry note, evocative of a winter liqueur, mixed with red apples. I recall a potent elixir brought back to him from the hinterlands of Russia, something profoundly resonant with imperialist lineage.
From there, Blood Concept B Parfum glides gracefully into notes of pepper and pomegranate, with a hint of artemisia. Think of dark breads and caviar, and rooms swathed in crimson velvet. There's patchouli in the basenote, with Blood Concept's signature metallic note, which evokes both Bram Stoker's "Dracula" as well as a wink at Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Blood Concept fragrances are labeled by blood type, from O to A, B, and AB. Sold in gleaming silver antique medicine bottles with red-lined droppers, the concept is deliberately inflammatory - and precisely the sort of gift that would have sent my godfather into paroxysms of unmitigated joy. A wicked sense of humor is not necessary to appreciate Blood Concept, but B Parfum's decadent allure works best on those who are wise enough to appreciate the darker elements of life - especially night owls.
With uncanny timing, given the planet's obsession with "Twilight" and "True Blood," the Italian perfumers Giovanni Castelli and Antonio Zuddas have given us a fragrance that mirrors the zeitgeist. Let Blood Concept B Parfum bite into your soul and see where you land.
PRICE: $130.00/ set of four 10 ml EDP, each w/fragrance dropper

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rohe Not recommended-It broke twice in less than 3 Year Dec 31, 2012 My current refrigerator is dead and it is noted online as common LG refrigerator problem. I have power but the refrigerator has no power, no light, etc. The technician told me that the board is dead and has to be replaced. All of our food is melting and warming up. Cleaning up spoiled food is not fun – it was not worth a penny. This is the least reliable refrigerator that I have ever seen. I had another problem with the main fan, which died about 6 months ago and all the food spoiled. LG – has to improve product quality! It was a big mistake that I bought it for the design.

Rated 2 out of 5 by tammywammy Do not recommend I purchased this refrigerator in Feb 2009. Last week it shut off. Less than three years old and I'm having to call a repair man out to find out why it's broken. Plus, I had to throw out a lot of food. Considering this replaced a 20 year old energy waster, I'm very disappointed in it. Loved the design, loved the French doors, hate that I'm about to shell out a lot of money to fix it so soon. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone and am hesitant to purchase LG appliances in the future. January 17, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 Love/Hate When I purchased this refrigerator I absolutely loved it! This was always the style I wanted, and I finally got it. I didn't research anything before purchase, and it was a floor model so one small dent no biggie. I have tried every suggestion I can find to clean the stainless, with no luck. Hate that. Just recently our fridge dies, after less than 2 yrs. No extreme use, just normal everyday use. After diagnosing the problem ourselves, because it costs $75 just to have someone look at it, it was a simple fix. A blown fuse, really that makes the entire fridge die? After reading common problems, this is the top and I wish I had done research before buying. January 11, 2012
This LG refrigerator has sophisticated looks inside and out. And it gives you the best of both worlds—a convenient and roomy, French Door design, with a compact 33" width.

Chris Stedman: Proud to Be a "Faitheist"
Chris Stedman isn't your average atheist. The Assistant Humanist chaplain at Harvard University is releasing his debut memoir "Faitheist: How an Atheist Found Common Ground with the Religious." An unusual story of self-discovery among hardship, the story points toward the notion of interfaith work to build a more just society.
As a child, Chris was raised in a generally irreligious family but around age ten, his life began to change. After his parents' separation, Chris found his security evaporating, "My Dad sort of became very hands off and not really involved in our lives."
"Around that time, some kids invited me to a youth group with them. It felt to me like life seemed really easy for them and I wondered what their secret was," he recalled. Chris joined full-force: "I became a born-again Christian, a really fundamentalist Christian when I was eleven years old."
The book details the tumultuous experience of self-discovery that nearly ended Stedman's life. Per Stedman's optimistic personality, the story is one of inspiration and hope. But rather than leaving religion in the dust as atheists like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins so famously have, Chris had other ideas.
That brings us to the book title: What is a "faitheist"? "In the opening chapter of the book I tell the story of the first time I ever went to a meeting of organized atheists," Chris explains. "After the event, which I was a little disappointed by, I went to a reception. They asked what I did for a living, and at the time I was working for a group called Interfaith Youth Core... Somebody said to me, 'You're one of those atheists... A faitheist.'"
"It felt so familiar with me from the past, being a Christian and gay"
Stedman immediately recalled the reaction as one he'd seen before as a teenager in church before he recognized his atheism, "It felt so familiar with me from the past, being a Christian and gay."
"I want to try and be fair when I look back on those years in an Evangelical community," he says of the church, explaining it did in fact offer a lot of the community he was lacking at the time. "I don't think they knew any better," is his generous response to the rejection he experienced.
Atheism's prominent voices have been much less generous to Stedman. His most vocal critic is PZ Myers, who's described Stedman as a "slimy" character and traitor to the movement for the embracing of religious individuals in his work and criticism of atheism's more hardline tactics. While Myers would enjoy a fight, Stedman isn't interested in engaging, calling such divisive disdain "toxic."

text: This is a great sermon from my church this past weekend (on 9-30-2012, titled Jesus' Ministry Begins). It outlines the political nature of Jesus and how he doesn't belong to any one political party. It talks about how as Christians we should vote but not to expect government to solve our problems and that we don't need to "protect" Christianity with our vote.

1 tablespoon

fresh ginger root, finely chopped
1 (16 ounce) package
tofu, drained and cut into cubes
1/2 cup
4 tablespoons
rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
soy sauce
2 teaspoons
cornstarch dissolved in
2 tablespoons
carrot, peeled and sliced
green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 cup
baby corn, drained and cut into pieces
1 small head
bok choy, chopped
2 cups
fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 1/4 cups
bean sprouts
1 cup
bamboo shoots, drained and chopped
1/2 teaspoon
crushed red pepper
2 medium

Not a bad stir fry recipe! I was concerned about the reviews that said it was bland and tasteless so I made a few changes. I added an extra Tbs of garlic and ginger (but I LOVE both). And use the real stuff! Powder doesn't have as much flavor. I sprinkled the tofu with s&p and cornstarch and fried it in another pan. I separated the bok choy and cooked the thick stalk part before I added the leafy part so the leaves wouldn't get soggy. The most important thing is to make sure that the veggies aren't overcooked otherwise it'll be soggy and all the flavors will mush together. Last of all, make sure that the sauce is very thick!! It will be bland and runny if you mix it together too early. I think next time I'll try using sesame oil too.
This recipe is fairly simple, healthy, and quite tasty too (at least with the few improvisations I used!). I made it with the array of veggies I had in the fridge--some broccoli, zucchini, red and yellow pepper, and baby carrot--and fried the onion, garlic, ginger and tofu in a mix of regular vegetable oil and toasted sesame oil. I used half the tofu called for, and made more of the sauce. The sauce really was key, and its flavor can be adjusted easily. I did not find the meal to be bland, and I didn't need extra salt. As I do for many Asian food recipes, I topped it off with nuts, sliced almonds this time. Thanks for the recipe, particularly the sauce!

I thought this was just wonderful! like others, I baked the tofu first, and I used sesame oil. I did use different vegetables, only red and green bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli, and I doubled the sauce.
Overall, I thought this was very flavorful, even though I forgot the crushed pepper! I didn't think it needed salt...soy sauce is very salty.
This is my go-to stir fry recipe. It works with any veggies (I usually throw in onions, broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas.) To fry the veggies and tofu I use vegetable oil with a sprinkle a combo of sesame seed oil. I like to use extra firm tofu, and before I put it in the pan, I pat it dry with paper towels, then coat with cornstarch to get a subtle crunch. The sauce is the best part. Sooo easy, and yummy! I sometimes sprinkle ginger powder and red pepper flakes in while it's simmering for extra flavor.
The sauce was great but I cut the tofu into strips instead of cubes so it could have a more fried texture to simulate a beef stir-fry. Very good recipe.
This was my first time cooking with tofu and fresh ginger so I was happy that it came out edible. I baked the tofu on 350 for about 15 minutes. Don't be gentle with it when cutting as that's when it tends to crumble.
Stir-fry is all about the sauce. I found this sauce to be sweet and somewhat tangy. I didn't follow the recipe to the T-spoon, but it was still good. I don't know if I could crave this stir-fry, though, because I'm not a huge fan of sweet entrees.
There are a lot of vegetables so I had to double the sauce called for and it turned out perfect. Nothing wrong with extra sauce.
This dish was pretty good. I really liked the sauce. Next time I'll probably substitute some of the veggies with ones I prefer more, like broccoli and asparagus. It didn't really re-heat all that well.
Nice, simple and fast. I used my preferred vegetables (broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, snowpeas, baby corn) and served over rice.

All state Sen. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Silver Spring wanted for his 50th birthday was a flash mob.
So when The Contours� 1962 hit "Do You Love Me" started blasting through the stereo speakers out onto Ellsworth Drive in downtown Silver Spring at 4:40 p.m. on Saturday, the crowd standing in the plaza came alive.
About 150 dancers showed up to commemorate the politicians birthday, including a number of dancers from the Maryland Youth Ballet — a nonprofit dance institution that overlooks Ellsworth and trains more than 1,600 students as young as two.
Raskin said he reached out to the nonprofit's Executive Director Alyce Jenkins to see if her dancers could make it happen.
"It's actually hard to find people who are not terrified to put this together," Raskin said. "The big joke is that I can't dance."
Jenkins said MYB worked hard to put a dance together that non-dancers could easily follow. She said she was really pleased with the turnout.
"We've never done anything like this before," Jenkins said. "We're a classical ballet school."
She said she tried to get Raskin to dance front and center, but to no avail.
Jenkins said Raskin has been very supportive of the school since they moved to Silver Spring from Bethesda in 2006. Raskin, along with Del. Sheila Hixson (D-Dist. 20) of Silver Spring and Heather Mizeur (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park, helped with the school's $200,000 capital construction bond bill to help with the renovations for the now state-of-the-art facility that overlooks Silver Plaza on Ellsworth.
When Raskin called, Jenkins spoke to the school's more advanced dancers who thought the idea was "cool." She said the group took some time out of their rehearsal for one of their largest shows each year, The Nutcracker — which opens later this month — to choreograph, learn and tape the flash mob dance, which was posted on YouTube for Raskin and his supporters to learn.
Raskin said his political fundraising event that followed the flash mob at the Silver Spring Civic Building a block away from the dancing sold out. Many of those 600 people, including Tebabu Assefa of Takoma Park, participated in the flash mob.
"It went very well. You can see the excitement on everybody's face," Assefa said. "It's a relationship-forging moment."
Norah Neale of Takoma Park said she watched the video for three nights and practiced with some other dancers earlier in the day Saturday to prepare for the flash mob.
"It was too short, I wanted to keep dancing," she said, laughing. "I'm just so happy for Jamie."
When the music started, about five dancers from MYB, including 16-year-old Nathaniel Remez of Washington, D.C., kicked off the dancing.
"A lot of people were here, so I think that's a success," Remez said. "It was really crowded out here."
Emilie Forest, 17, of Columbia has been a student for four years at MYB. She said she was also surprised by how many people turned out for the event.
"I thought it was amazing," Forest said. "It's very rare that you get to come out and do something that's not ballet, so I thought it was fun."
Sandi Kagen, 71, of Potomac is in adult ballet and Broadway jazz classes at MYB, and said she's ready for round two.
"I think it went great. I would like to have done it again," Kagen said. "The atmosphere is really up, really exciting, and we love Jamie Raskin because he's been instrumental in helping us at the state, so it was good to do it for him."

Alleged armed robber killed by Okauchee homeowner
OKAUCHEE - Police say an Okauchee homeowner shot and killed a man he claims broke into his house.
It happened around 2:00 a.m. Saturday on Wisconsin Ave.
The crime scene tape around his Okauchee home is gone but the memories of early Saturday morning are fresh and hard for Mike Fitzsimmons.
"I'm happy that I'm alive today," Fitzsimmons told TMJ4 reporter Keller Russell.
He says he was asleep inside his home when he heard someone breaking in. He grabbed his flashlight and a gun.
"I confronted the guy and he told me he had a gun. He came at me with a gun," said Fitzsimmons.
The homeowner told police he confronted the man in the garage and it moved to the back of the house. He says the man cornered him, threatening his life with a gun. Within minutes, Fitzsimmons says it was all over.
"I told him to drop it, backed up shot him, killed him."
The Town of Oconomowoc police say the man Fitzsimmons killed is James Babe IV, 39, of Waukesha. According to state court records, Babe is a life registered sex offender with a lengthy criminal history, including burglary.
Police are still trying to figure out why Babe was in Okauchee.
"It's not normal out here -- people breaking into houses and somebody getting shot. It's never happened in my career here," said Lt. Russel Paar.
Neighbors said officers roped off the house in crime scene tape and worked through the early morning hours Saturday, into the evening. Police won't say whether they found a gun near the alleged intruder, as Fitzsimmons described.
Mike Fitzsimmons says he acted in self defense, actions he's still coming to grips with.
"I did not want this to happen. The last thing I want to do is something like that."
Police didn't arrest Fitzsimmons. The department plans to hand the case over to the District Attorney's office.
Babe's fiance tells TMJ4 he was in the area for a night out with friends at the bar. He also had family that lives in Oconomowoc. She said James Babe would never break into someones house or hurt anyone. She also claims he doesn't own a gun. She acknowledges Babe had a past but said he had committed himself to staying out of trouble and that would never do anything to take himself away from her and her two children.
