Maine fails to legalize marijuana
Category: Legalization | Posted on Sat, November, 23rd 2013 by THCFinder
An effort to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Maine has failed in the state's Legislative Council, which vets bills before they can be introduced for consideration.
The bill would have legalized, taxed, and regulated the use of marijuana in the state, but it failed to gather majority support in the council. The final vote was 5-5, and the bill will not be considered again until 2015.
The tabling of the bill comes after Portland, Maine, became the first city on the East Coast to officially legalize the drug earlier this month.
"Portland had spoken so loudly that it's a shame that Legislative Council didn't listen to them," said Democratic state Rep. Diane Russell, who introduced the bill, to the Portland Daily Sun. About 81 percent of votes in Russell's district voted for Portland's initiative to legalize pot, which passed easily citywide with 70 percent support overall.
If Russell's measure had passed its initial vote, it would've been brought up for consideration during the state's four-month second legislative session that begins on January 1. Under Maine's constitution, this session is reserved for emergency and budget-related bills, and according to one of the council's nay votes, there is simply not enough time to debate and analyze such an important proposal.
"We're going into a short session [in January], and for Portlanders and Mainers this short session is exactly four months, and for a bill that is this complex and this big, I did not feel it had the time to have the stakeholders come together," said Democratic state Senator Justin Alfond, whose district is also located in Portland, to the Daily Sun.
Supporters of the bill, including Marijuana Policy Project Political Director David Boyer, told the Huffington Post it's disappointing to see Alfond vote against a bill his constituents overwhelmingly support.

Thanksgiving Canna-Recipes; Green Bean Casserole
Category: Recipes | Posted on Fri, November, 22nd 2013 by THCFinder
As Thanksgiving approaches, people are planning on what they're going to be eating. If you're planning on having dinner with people who love cannabis as much as you, why not incorporate some edibles in to your dinner? Stoners are definitely thankful for cannabis and what better way to be thankful for it? Of course, the meal has to start off with an appetizer. Medicated green bean casserole is a good way to start things off!
What You'll Need (Makes enough for 10-12 people);
1/4 tsp salt
1 diced onion
2 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 cup French onions
8 cups cooked, cut green beans
2 tblsp cannabutter
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Take a large skillet and sauté the onion with a small amount of cannabutter on medium heat. Let it cook for a few minutes and then add in the canned mushroom soup, salt and pepper, 1 tblsp cannabutter, milk, and green beans. Mix everything together well until the substance is warm. Use the leftover cannabutter to grease up the casserole dish. Transfer the skillet contents in to the dish and sprinkle the French onion across the top. Toss the whole thing in to the oven for 15-20 minutes or until it's bubbling slightly. Remove it from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Thanksgiving appetizer!

Colorado Issues First License For Recreational Marijuana Shop
Category: News | Posted on Fri, November, 22nd 2013 by THCFinder
Central City, the original site of the 1859 Colorado gold rush, is now the first city in Colorado to have a store licensed to sell marijuana to adults! The store, called Annie's, is a medical marijuana dispensary that will begin selling marijuana to adults on January 1st, pursuant to Amendment 64. Annie's is the first store to receive a license, but it won't be alone for long. The state is considering hundreds of other applications and is expected to issue many more licenses in the coming weeks and months.
The state is scheduled to allow retail marijuana sales to begin on January 1, 2014.
"Colorado is moving forward and leaving marijuana prohibition behind. For the first time in history, those who sell marijuana are receiving licenses from the state instead of rap sheets," said MPP's Mason Tvert. "Marijuana will be sold to adults by legitimate, taxpaying businesses instead of drug cartels in the underground market. [...] Colorado is proving to the rest of the world that marijuana can be regulated like alcohol. It will not be long before voters and lawmakers in other states decide to adopt similar policies. Marijuana is objectively less harmful than alcohol, and it is finally starting to be treated that way."

Abbott obtained a European CE Mark for its PLEX-ID™ microbial identification platform and three assays. PLEX-ID combines PCR technology and mass spectrometry, and has been developed to enable the identification and characterization of broad groups of organisms without having to focus on each individual microbe. Results are generated in under eight hours, negating the need to wait days or weeks for culture results. The system has been developed on the back of Abbott's acquisition of Ibis Biosciences in 2009.
The three CE-marked assays are PLEX-ID Viral IC Spectrum, PLEX-ID BAC Spectrum BC, and PLEX-ID Flu. The Viral IC Spectrum assay is designed to detect and identify 11 viral families including over 250 species of systemic viral pathogens including herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human adenovirus, human enterovirus, BK and JC polyomaviruses, and parvovirus B19, directly from plasma samples. The BAC Spectrum BC assay is carried out on blood culture-positive specimens, detects and identifies nearly 400 bacterial species, plus additional Candida species, and also flags the presence of genetic markers characteristic of bacterial antibiotic resistance.
Abbott says it plans to introduce a modified version of the assay in Europe later this year which can be used directly on a patient's blood sample without the need for culturing. PLEX-ID Flu detects and identifies known and newly emerging influenza A strains and influenza B.
"The introduction of the PLEX-ID provides physicians and laboratories a revolutionary new platform for the etiologic identification of a wide variety of pathogens in patients," states Murthy Simhambhatla, Ph.D., head of Abbott's Ibis Biosciences business. "PLEX-ID is the only available diagnostic technology that is capable of identifying a wide range of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and certain parasites in hours."

text: This US hard rock act evolved from a songwriting partnership between brothers Johnny and Joey Gioeli (vocals and guitar, respectively, both ex-Brunette) and ex-Santana, Journey and Bad English guitarist Neal Schon. Bad English drummer Deen Castronovo joined, and completed the rhythm section by drafting in childhood friend Todd Jensen (ex-David Lee Roth; bass). Double Eclipse was classy American radio rock, with Schon unleashing some of the guitar firepower that had been restricted by Bad Englishs lighter AOR style, and the band spent some time touring, including US dates supporting Van Halen, before the debut was actually released. However, when Schon, Jensen and Castronovo took considerable time off to act as a backing band on Paul Rodgers solo tour, the resulting friction split Hardline.

This book leads with a single central principle - that a PMO's sole reason for existence is the creation of value for the organisation, and that the single most effective way it can do that is by managing the allocation of resources to projects. Of course, tools, methodology and processes are all good things to have, but identifying how to deploy resources for the best return on that investment is where a PMO really comes into its own.
I initially found such a forceful statement a little hard to swallow, but the book shows (using example scenarios drawn from the author's consulting experience) several ways how the PMO can fail if it chooses to focus its efforts in other directions.
If a PMO focuses on methodology, the PMs may superficially complete templates and processes just to keep the PMO quiet, but the completed templates and processes may bear little relation to reality. Unless the methodology is focused tightly on improving project delivery, this type of PMO merely increases administrative burden on PMs without enhancing value. Again, the PMO will be cut as soon as funding decreases.
The value created can be measured in terms of increasing the number of projects being delivered in a given time (since completed projects create value). As the availability of resources (people and/or money) is usually the single largest barrier to delivering more projects, increasing project delivery is often best achieved by creating a view of project and resource status to enable the most effective utilisation of resources across the project portfolio.
Well worth the purchase price.

2008 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Cab SR5 4dr CrewMax SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
I luv my truck but I'm limited on distance before I run out of gas you would think Toyota would be smarter bigger truck bigger tank and I can't add an auxiliary tank because of emissions so I have to carry gas cans when in the mountains or desert especially pulling my toy hauler because that gas goes to my toys glad my son needs a truck I'm buying a F250
I have now owned this truck for over 3 years and have 30,000 miles on it. Come trade in time I will up grade to the limited. I would not even consider any other brand. Doing some research I found out that some Ford Trucks are built in Brazil, some Chevy Trucks are built in Canada and some Dodge Trucks are build in Mexico. Tundra's are build in Austin Texas. When one guy asked me. Why didn't you buy American? I asked him what truck are you talking about? No answer!!!! All I can say it's a great truck and at least take it for a test drive and see for yourself.
When it comes to my favorite features I can't really narrow it down to a few. From bumper to bumper I like it all. I guess if I had to it would be the power and the handling. It's just a fun truck to drive...
Maybe a little wood on the dash board for the SR5 that would be a nice touch. I certainly wouldn't change the body style, it looks good just the way it is...
I have read a few negative reviews and feel some buyers will not be happy with any vehicle they buy. I actually feel bad for any manufacturer that does sell them a vehicle. Inherently all vehicles will have some kind of type weird annoyance and as long as it doesn't keep me from enjoying my vehicle, I don't care. No car is silent inside and a V8 does suck down gas. But you will find tons of negative comments as if no one knew this getting in to a 381hp monster. This truck cleans up well and I never go a day without people checking it out. The Crewmax is simply the best solution for people with children who do not want a SUV.
The POWER, the SIZE, and the Usability.
Everyone states that the interior could use better materials, but I have no issue with buttons breaking or plastic paint peeling off like I did with my Domestic cars/trucks so I'm happy as is. Also the interior parts are made in the US unlike Chevy, Dodge, or Ford. It costs more for Toyota to buy these parts and material hardness is effected by that, but no big deal to me.
I spent about 6 months reseaching trucks on the computer read and gathered all the info possible on consumer reviews. About Fords, GM, Dodge, Nission and Toyota. And also talking to friends and my mechanic. I was pointed in only one direction, Tundra! Took a 600 mile trip and got 18.4 MPG highway. Very good for a 5.7. But pulling my bass boat I got 13.5. Don't care going fishing anyway. Just turned 20,000 miles without any problems and still enjoy driving it like the day I picked it up. Take one out for a test drive and I'm sure you'll be impressed...
Very solidly build and a very quiet cabin. Great stopping ability. And with 381 hp, it will set you back in your seat. Very roomy interior and plenty of room in the back seat. And on the crew max the rear seats recline. Great for long trips. And love the color of salsa red. Sure get alot of compliments on the looks of my truck.
I bought my 08 Tundra used - it had 45k miles on it. I've put 10k on it. Fits my needs perfectly with 3 kids (huge back seat). Ride quality is great. Acceleration / power is awesome. Too much hard plastic and cheap parts on interior - but still very comfy. I put a 2" leveling kit with larger tires on stock steel wheels - looks better.
Huge back seat powerful motor / well-matched transmission exterior appearance
re-design interior, take lessons from Honda.

Chris Christie Named 'Father of the Year' by People Who Aren't His Children
He says his kids "had a good laugh."
When Bill Clinton received an actual "Father of the Year" statuette last year, we were curious about what separated him from all the dads who received their award in mug format. Apparently it has something to do with the number of times you mention your kids in political speeches, because Chris Christie has been named a 2014 "Father of the Year" honoree by the National Father's Day Council. (He probably received bonus points for that time he took a State Police helicopter to see his son's high school baseball game.) The father of four showed off his skills by instantly weaving the award into another anecdote about his kids. "I came home and told my children about it," Christie said during his radio show Monday night. "They had a good laugh. Most kids, if you're doing it right, love their parents, but I don't think they're the father or mother of the year. But it's a really nice honor. (Being a parent) is the thing I care about most in my life." Someone really doesn't want another stupid tie.

Spencer County High School's basketball team will be hosting a youth basketball camp for boys and girls ages 5 and up. The camp will be held June 28 through July 2 from 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. each day. The cost of the camp is $60/camper.
During the week, participants will be given individual instruction, hear from a variety of guest speakers and be provided daily snacks and drinks. Campers will also receive a t-shirt and a basketball for participating.
On a scale of one to five, Superintendent Chuck Adams is a solid four, according to an annual evaluation of his performance by the Spencer County Board of Education.
"This is not the best evaluation I've had," Adams said to board members Monday night, "but it's probably the most accurate. It's a very fair and very accurate evaluation."
Adams explained his comments by saying that his holistic numbers were better after his first year on the job. Differences of opinion with some board members may be what lowered his score.

Baseball was king in Taylorsville over the weekend as the Nations Baseball tournament was held at various locations in the area, attracting 46 teams and hundreds of players, coaches and parents to the community.
Organizer Chuck Fischer said the event went very well, although the number of teams and the limited number of fields forced on age group to play at Beechmont in Louisville.

Non-academic data compiled by the Kentucky Department of Education shows relatively steady trends in local public schools for 2009. The data is the non-academic component of the Kentucky Testing System and includes dropout rates, attendance, graduation, retention and transition to adult life.
As opposed to test scores, the data is intended to display other elements of academic success, said Lisa Gross, spokesman for the Kentucky Department of Education.
Three members of the Spencer County Chapter of the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America attended the FCCLA Leadership Camp recently. The two Region 6 officers included President Kelcey Eldridge and VP of Individual Programs Lauren Kempf. Also in attendance was member Helisha Smith. This was a time for Regional officers from across the state to come together and learn leadership skills and activities to take back to their regions and chapters. Officers were also trained by the KY State FCCLA officers on the duties of their office.
Cheryl Bowling made up her recipe for Steamed Zucchini-Yellow Squash Casserole. It has been a traditional dish in her family for more than twenty years.
"It's a way to use the squash when it comes in. It's a healthy way, too since it isn't boiling away the nutrients."
She suggests making sure to add the tomatoes after the other vegetables are mostly cooked.
"You don't want the tomatoes to be total mush."

A decent enough hotel, but it is in a VERY odd location in the middle of nowhere, and seems more concerned with being hip and urban at the cost of some basic amenities, cleanliness and obvious things one typically expects at a hotel. It's still a good hotel that I would recommend, but don't expect it to be like other (more expensive) Ws in larger cities.

The role of production fragmentation in international business cycle synchronization in East Asia
This paper analyzes factors contributing to the observed increase in international business cycle synchronization between eight East Asian developing countries and the major developed economies of Japan and the United States. To this end, a two-country dynamic general equilibrium (DGE) model is proposed which focuses on the role of production fragmentation among these countries. A key feature of the model is that it includes the trade in differentiated capital goods, which are added to the capital stock for production, and the technology embodied in these capital goods. The parameters of the model are calibrated using actual data of the countries included. Model simulations are conducted for two periods (1993–1997 and 1999–2005), before and after the Asian financial crisis, showing that the increase in business cycle synchronization can be attributed mainly to the growing fragmentation of production activities.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - As he watched replays of the second hijacked plane crashing into the World Trade Center, Louisville coach Rick Pitino began counting floors, hoping that his best friend was still alive.
Bill Minardi, the brother of Pitino's wife, was one of 670 employees of the bond brokerage Cantor Fitzgerald who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Minardi worked on the 105th floor of the north tower, the first one hit and the second one to collapse.
"It was so painful watching those planes, over and over. I knew Billy was high (in the building)," Pitino said at a news conference Wednesday.
Returning to work this week has given Pitino the diversion he's needed.
"I'm emotionally spent," he said. "The only solace I get is when I'm on that court for four hours a day. It's an escape from it all.
"What I have to do is to immerse myself in it, day and night, so I don't think as much. The only thing you have to do is go overboard and immerse yourself in your work and your family and just pass out at night."
Pitino, who was hired in March, said his new team sent him a touching sympathy card last week. He reciprocated by returning them to their usual exhausting workouts.
"Fortunately, for the players, there is a 20-hour (per week) rule," he said.
Pitino said the death of Minardi, his best friend since high school, won't change his perspective on basketball. He said that happened in 1987, when his 6-month-old son, Daniel, died from congenital heart failure.
"I had a perspective a long time ago," Pitino said. "When you're between the lines, you give it everything you can. But everything that surrounds you away from the game is the game of life, and that is so much bigger.
"(Basketball) is my passion, it's my professional life, but it's entertainment. It's always been entertainment to me since 1987. I know what sports is about - it's about making us laugh, it's about good times together."
Pitino said he and his wife, Joanne, only recently had recovered from another family tragedy. In March, Don Vogt, the husband of Joanne's sister, was struck and killed by a New York City taxi.
Pitino said last week was a blur.
"A week ago, I didn't know where my life was going," Pitino said. "You didn't know what to do, where to go."
Pitino and his wife had waited for word from Minardi on the day of the attacks, but none came. The next day, the Pitinos drove to New York.
They got false hope when Minardi's name turned up on a computer database that listed people working in the towers at the time of the attacks. Minardi was listed in critical condition, but Pitino found out through Cantor Fitzgerald's emergency hotline that the report was wrong.
Soon after, Pitino learned that every employee who showed up for work on the day of the attacks had died.
Pitino, who grew up in New York City, attended a memorial service for Minardi last Thursday.
"The swing of emotions, thinking you had a hope and a prayer, waiting for one Cantor Fitzgerald person to make it down," Pitino said. "It's just been unbelievable."
He reminisced about his friendship with Minardi through tear-filled eyes.
"Joanne and I were trying to laugh about stories about Billy the other night," Pitino said. "Kidding around, I said, 'You know, I always loved Billy more than I loved you.' And she said, 'I've always known you loved him more.'
"We had so many fun times, so many great memories. I cherish those memories. It was a good reason to marry Joanne."

EMHS wraps up tournament
Published: Monday, March 17, 2003 at 11:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 17, 2003 at 11:58 a.m.
LAFAYETTE -- The Ellender Memorial High School baseball team finished play this weekend in the St. Thomas More tournament with two games Saturday.
The Patriots fell to Northshore 4-1 in the first game than played Carencro to an eight-inning, scoreless tie in the nightcap.
In the first game, the Patriots led 1-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. Northshore scored three runs in that fram to take a lead it would not surrender. Matt Champagne pitched 6 1/3 innings but got the loss for Ellender.
In the second game, Ryan Duplantis went the distance for the Patriots and gave up three hits and struck out seven.
Ellender pieced together four hits but never mounted a threat as neither team had a base runner advance to third base in the game.
"Bobby (Ratcliff), Matt (Champagne) and Ryan (Duplantis) all had great pitching performances. They did a great job," Ellender coach Jason Corbin said. "Our defense played better than it had been, but we still need to tweak that a little bit and get it better. We were ahead of Northshore, but one mental error gave that away for us. But all in all, we're playing with more confidence now and we expect to win and that's where we need to be come district time."
The Patriots return to action Tuesday when they play host to Terrebonne Parish rival H.L. Bourgeois. First pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

I bought this little kit because my original iPod Charge/Sync Cable was not recognizing my iPad. What I liked about this kit is that you not only got *two* Charge/Sync Cables (in different colors, depending on the kit you pick), but also got an iPod to Car Stereo Cable, all for one low and quite impressive price! It works great!

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities warned the public on Tuesday to stay away from a carjacked vehicle that was being driven by one victim and carrying a teenage girl.
Oakland police said the carjacking occurred outside a grocery store.
Witnesses said someone with a knife forced the occupant _ an older man _ to drive away with the teenager in the rear seat.
"We don't want anyone approaching this vehicle," Oakland police spokeswoman Johnna Watson told KTVU-TV at the scene. "We have information that the suspect is armed with a knife."
Watson said the girl was believed to be 13. An Amber Alert was issued.
Police Tuesday night asked people to be on the lookout for a red sedan, and not a red 2001 Infiniti SUV as they originally reported. The vehicle's California license plate number is 6JFM648.

Philippine Peso Strengthens as Tetangco Signals Rate Increase
The Philippine peso strengthened the most in four months after the central bank signaled it's moving closer to raising borrowing costs and Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said the currency was "undervalued."
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' policy stance is "more cautious" and the scope to keep interest rates on hold has narrowed from last year, Governor Amando Tetangco told Bloomberg Television today. The monetary authority left the benchmark overnight rate at a record-low 3.5 percent yesterday, even after a report a day earlier showed consumer prices rose in January by the most since December 2011.
"BSP is preparing the market for higher interest rates, which may come sooner rather than later," said Rafael Algarra, executive vice president and head of financial markets at Security Bank Corp. in Manila. "The BSP is relatively successful in managing volatility and has kept the peso within a tight range."
The currency advanced 0.4 percent to 44.99 per dollar at the close in Manila, according to prices from Tullett Prebon Plc. It touched 44.94 earlier, the strongest level since Jan. 15. The peso climbed 0.7 percent in the past five days, the best weekly performance since September and the first gain this year.
Bangko Sentral is closely monitoring the currency market as excessive volatility can lead to imbalances, boost import costs and cause second-round inflation effects, Tetangco said. The peso slumped to 45.475 per dollar on Feb. 4, the lowest level since August 2010. Purisima commented on the exchange rate today in a speech he gave in Singapore.
Curb Volatility
"As is our policy, we will let the market broadly determine the exchange rate, but we will, at the same time, maintain a presence in the market to limit excesses in exchange-rate movements," Tetangco told Bloomberg TV. "We also want to make sure that market conduct is within reasonable bounds."
One-month implied volatility in the peso, a measure of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, dropped 20 basis points today to 6.50 percent. The weekly drop of 68 basis points was the biggest in three months.
Consumer prices rose 4.2 percent in January from a year earlier, following a 4.1 percent increase the previous month, data showed this week. The central bank has kept interest rates on hold since October 2012, when it cut borrowing costs.
The inflation outlook for 2014 and 2015 is above the mid-point of the 3 percent to 5 percent target for this year, and the exceeds the 2015 goal of 2 percent to 4 percent, Tetangco said today.
The potential lifting of a court injunction prohibiting higher power prices would boost inflation by 15 basis points in 2014 and seven basis points next year, Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo told reporters at a briefing in Manila yesterday.
"We kept interest rates steady given manageable inflation but the balance of risks to this outlook has continued to be tilted to the upside," he said.
The yield on the 8 percent government bonds due July 2031 rose seven basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 5.06 percent, the highest since Jan. 6, according to prices from Tradition Financial Services.

NEW YORK (AP) - Roger Clemens says he might be willing to take a
lie-detector test and was "shocked" close friend Andy Pettitte
used human growth hormone in his first interview since the Mitchell
Report. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner says he "probably"
will retire from baseball.
Sounding indignant and defiant during the nearly 14-minute
segment broadcast on CBS's "60 Minutes," Clemens appeared to set
up a confrontation with former personal trainer Brian McNamee in
front of Congress. Both are scheduled to testify under oath at a
January 16th hearing.
With a fiery look in his eyes, Clemens says he would have spoken
with baseball drug investigator George Mitchell had he been aware
McNamee accused him of using steroids and HGH. Clemens says the
cost of litigation had made him wary of filing a lawsuit against
McNamee, who also has threatened to sue his former boss.
Clemens admits getting shots from McNamee. But he insisted they
were vitamin B-12 and the painkiller lidocaine. In the full
14-minute broadcast, Clemens also says he was given an injection of
the painkiller toradol under the supervision of the New York

Client Health Thresholds in ConfigMgr 2012 Beta 1
A colleague of mine, Andy Sallabank has been participating in the ConfigMgr 2012 CEP and has been getting the inside track on some good stuff. This irked me somewhat, so to redress the balance I have registered myself. Andy has posted some good stuff on his blog around the new features to participate in the CEP, so not to be outdone, I am doing the same; so as part of a series looking at features in ConfigMgr 2012 Beta 1, I thought I would start by looking at client health thresholds. (Why not!?!?!?)
In the monitoring section of the console we can now pull up statistics on client health. Below you can see a report showing my SLA threshold, and the percentage of clients which met the threshold. This stuff is all integrated into the console, which meets with my approval.
I can go in and tweak SLA settings….
As well as do some pretty cool AD integration that allows us to determine when inactive clients last logged into their domain…
Anyone who is currently a ConfigMgr admin will rejoice! Or something, We all have our vbscripts, dudeworks tools and bits of for /f scripts we use for these tasks outside of the console. Maintaining a healthy client base is a full time job. With these things built in, and with auto-remediation to come, we finally have something on the horizon to eliminate some of the frustration of working with SMS!
All this stuff appears to be in its infancy, but from what I have heard and saw briefly at Tech Ed, I am expecting some really great things!

DEBACLE! "Loose Change" director Dylan Avery jumps ship on 9/11 Accountability Conference.
As reported by the badass bloggers of ScrewLooseChange, Dylan Avery, director of the screwy-but-seminal 9/11 conspiracy theory flick Loose Change, has jumped ship on the unmitigated disaster that is the Chandler 9/11 Accountability Conference. Avery issued a press release today at The Official Loose Change Blog explaining his reasons:
2.09.2007 Press Release Louder Than Words LLC will no longer be able to participate in the upcoming 9/11 Accountability Conference in Arizona on February 23rd - 25th, due to the involvement of Eric D. Williams who has authored a book promoting Holocaust denial, entitled "The Puzzle Of Auschwitz."
Louder Than Words LLC does not associate in any way with Holocaust denial groups, hate groups, or fringe conspiracy theory groups of any kind. We regret not being able to attend, and this does not reflect in any way our passion for seeking the truth regarding 9/11.
We apologize to anyone who was anticipating our presence. posted by dylan avery at 7:22 PM

Asked on the Loose Change forum why he wasn't going, as Williams has supposedly removed himself from the conference, Avery answered:
Eric is still attached to the conference. And apparently Kevin Barret (sic) has made some off-color remarks concerning the Holocaust as well. It's a very unfortunate situation for all involved.
This seems to confirm my suspicion that Williams is still pulling strings behind the scenes, a suspicion aroused when AZ ACLU executive director Alessandra Soler Meetze withdrew from the conference and told me that e-mails from organizer Kent Knudson to her had been cc'd to Eric Williams. BTW, it's been several days since Meetze said she would not participate, and her name is still listed under the conference's "confirmed speakers." Her photo and bio are still up as well. Wonder how long it will take Knudson, et al. to remove Meetze's name and Avery's, now that he's out?
Why is this important? Because Knudson and his wack-job pals are selling tickets to this conference at $129 a pop. How can they sign people up at that price if all of their big names are opting not to participate?
Avery also mentions alleged statements by Kevin Barrett, an associate lecturer on Islam at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who's scheduled to make an appearance at the Chandler meeting. Wikipedia.org offers a supposed quote from Barrett on the subject. The quote is from this website Oilempire.us. You can read the passage in full there, or on ScrewLooseChange.
So now we know that the 9/11 Accountability Conference's Web site is misleading, that Holocaust denier Eric Williams may still be active in the event, and that one of the most prominent members of the 9/11 "truth" crowd will not attend because he believes Williams is still involved and because he suspects there may be other participants with similarly sketchy views. $129 for a ride on this sinking ship? If you're ready to pay that, I've got some oceanfront property in Surprise you might be interested in...

Just watched this silent comedy short on the "American Slapstick" DVD. It stars Jack Duffy, who was a young adult during this time, as an old geezer who accepts a challenge to an opponent to get a boxer to fight the opponent's man. This geezer gets his butler to take the rounds but when that butler seems defeated, the geezer punches a few rounds himself! After that comes a police chase. I'll stop there and just say there are some pretty good stunts that provide some nice slapstick so there are a few laughs but overall it might be a little shopworn in this day and age. Still, if you're a silent movie buff especially the comedy kind, Uppercuts is worth a look if you're in the mood.

She placed first in Bikini Novice A-class, Bikini Open B-class and was named Overall Bikini Champion. The NPC sanctions competitions in men's and women's bodybuilding and women's fitness categories.

Kickoff is 2 p.m. Saturday at Cardinal Stadium. Tickets are $8 general admission, $5 for students and seniors.
The Cardinals (5-5) enter the playoffs as the No. 7 seed after being ranked as high as second or third early in the year. But RHS is riding a three-game winning streak, having breezed through the District 2-3A schedule, and is one of the hotter teams in 3A.
West Las Vegas and Mora are both headed to the state volleyball tournaments, which run Thursday through Saturday in Rio Rancho.
The Lady Dons, coached by Felix Flores, earned the No. 9 seed in the Class 3A tournament after winning the regular-season title in District 2-3A and finishing as runner-up to Raton in the district tournament.
They play in Pool A along with No. 1 Pojoaque Valley and No. 8 Lovington beginning at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.
By winning another individual state cross country championship, Pecos senior Antonio Varela helped his Panthers wrap up a second consecutive runner-up finish in the small-school division.
He also assured himself a permanent place in history.
Varela won by a 37-second margin in a time of 15:59, completing a stellar cross country career with Pecos.
Not far behind was Mora's Alonzo Chavez, who ran third in 16:53; the Rangers finished 12th as a team on the boys' side.

Are there problems associated with the computer having to lose its time? How do I solve it? The time I'm referring to is the one that is found on the lower-right corner of the screen.
Most likely a problem with the on-board battery. But that could depend the time from and to which it resets (and could range from a virus to using a time server).

I've installed the plugin and one of the free themes. So far, I really like it.
One of my payment options is "Pay on Delivery". And here is where the problem is:
1.) Customer adds a digital download to his/her cart
2.) Customer checks out with Pay on Delivery as option
3.) Customer can immediately download links via My Downloads, the Order page, and the email that is sent with the download links.
In other words -- The customer can use this bug to get FREE downloads without actually paying for them.
HOW TO RESOLVE? Pay on Delivery orders are "Created" as their status. Is there a way to NOT show the customer the download links or send the download link email until after the order is marked as "Paid", "Confirmed", or "Delivered"? (Preferrably Paid). And maybe on the order section on the plugin page, where you can re-send the customer the order confirmation, add a button that says "Re-send digital download email".
That way, when they send in the money for the order I can simply mark it paid and have the plugin send them the download links.
Does this make sense?
Is there a fix for this already that I overlooked?
Is there a way to get it working now so I can make the site live?
Thank you so very much!

Topic: Seed and Plant Sources
Title: Bulk seed purchases for naturalizing area in Rochelle VA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I am planning on naturalizing an area, ~ 7 acres, with wildflowers. I am spending quite a bit preparing the acreage and find I am falling short on funds for the bulk purchase of wildflower seeds. Can you recommend sources for a variety of flowers, native as well as others, where I can bulk buy on more limited funds? Thank you so much!
Let us first refer you to some of our How-To Articles that won't necessarily answer your question specifically, but will help you get a perspective. First, Wildlife Gardening and then Getting Started (with wildflower plantings) and Meadow Gardening. Seed Collecting and Storing would also be a cost-efficient method, if time-consuming, to gather the needed seeds. This website from the Virginia Wildflower Program has several references to seed purchase. This Wildflower Seed Virginia Stock site has a list of "value priced regional wildflower mixtures."
A couple of things we would like to mention on naturalizing an area. In order to truly "naturalize" you need to stick to plants native to the part of the country where you are working. Don't buy seed mixes; they often include many plants not only not native to the area, but not even native to North America, and may also include invasive weeds that can negate everything you are trying to do. Another problem you are going to encounter is that this is not the right time of year to be shopping for large quantities of seeds. Most native wildflowers must have their seeds hand-harvested in order to avoid gathering seeds of undesirable or non-native species. This is slow, time consuming and expensive. The seeds you are looking for were probably gathered last Fall and are now already being marketed. In Texas, we generally plant our wildflower seeds in the Fall, and have to wait for late summer to early Fall for the seeds to be available in any numbers.
From this Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation website Natural Heritage you may be able to find some more resources to help you. Native plant societies sometimes have sales or distribution of native seeds; contact the Native Plant Society of Virginia.
Finally, check our National Suppliers Directory. Type your town and state in the "Enter Search Location" box, and you will get a list of native plant nurseries, seed suppliers and landscapers in your general area. We can't promise that any of them will have what you are looking for, or at a low bulk price, but all have contact information so you can check with them.
