( WARNING: HUGE IMAGES OF COOKIE CAKE~ XD < - - - tastyCollapse )
So Nana, nanamka , asked for a guide-ish for "small nama view-ing" and I'll just write about...my experience (which is really REALLY little) XD
Usually with big namas the hosts don't get to read all the comments, but with small namas, most of the time the hosts read all the comments/chat with viewers pretty directly. =)
Most of the time the hosts says things like "New viewers/shoken-san, welcome and please comment!" and "If you could please leave a kotehan (nickname), I'd be happy~"
something like that? LOL XDD -notices pattern- also, a lot of hosts use the comment viewer so they sometimes ask you what color you'd like your color to be in comment viewer ^^
Usually if you're a first-viewer you comment with 初見です@ [nickname of choice] . something like that. If you just comment, the hosts usually notice you're a new viewer, unless you're 184 or something and they ask for your name. Although I've been in lives where they don't ask for your name? XDD
I didn't know this until recently when Angie told me about it. That when you're 184, the hosts always loses your kotehan OTL so you go to the system システム tab and uncheck the box that says 184 (anonymous) so after you out @name you don't need to do it anymore since it'll always show up in their comment viewer now.
Usually the host can't enchou/extend broadcast (that costs money, right? OTL) so they just run a lot of wakus~ (you can always refresh comm page till the red button pops up XD)
...that's kinda all I know? /shot
Although I'd have to say beware because in smaller namas, they're more likely to ask you things/talk to you...so I guess have a minor grasp of Japanese? (-fails, so just ROMs xD-)
-shortest guide ever-
Errr...so if Nana has more questions, feel free to ask? but honestly...varavi or koochie_koo might know more than me. OTL
P.S. I can't figure out how the mentioned tags thing works OTL and I want a DW profile layout thingy...or at least journal layout...;) XDD
This entry was originally posted at SeraphicTune@dreamwidth! Feel free to comment in either places! ^^
I never knew how useful it was to have a free period until this year (urgh, due to double period physics every day). It's useful for things like doing last-minute hw and studying~ -waaaai- =)
So there are always ads/posters put up in our school for club meetings, events, etc (heck, I put up posters for Pegasus every other week, haha XD) and there were some bowling club/team posters put up or something and I don't believe they were printed in color, so everytime I pass one or see one peripherally (< - - - urgh spell check~), I go !!! it's Gantz! and expect Nino to pop up shortly or something, hahaha. I've never watched/read Gantz, though I have seen the CM for the movie. So the bowling ball always looks like the Gantz ball to me. (I want Nino!Gantz Suit action /shot)
Just a short tidbit. =)
Ahhh, my cough is getting better, as in I don't hack up my lungs every 5 seconds (literally), but I still have like congestion or whatever in my throat and still coughing a bit. I hope I get better soon >__< It's kinda troublesome~ Not to mention who knows the effect of too much Menthol on my system! (jk, it's probably harmless/negligible)
Ever since the_desserter suggested it to me, I really like hachi's "Rinne" ^^ I dunno why I stayed away from it before, I think it was because people said they didn't really like it? o.o I dunno. lol but I'm glad I listened to it~ I've tried practicing it (yesh, as nanamka says, baka!Tune) a bit and it's hard to sing >__< It took me forever to try to get the words, they were so fast the first time I listened to it @__@ but then I kinda got it, but with wrong pronounciation/off intonation and pitch -fail- The third ~darling♪~ is super hard to reach and I can't do it T___T ahhhh well~
Random, but Rib and NemP replied to me on Twitter *w* That made me happy. mwhahahaha (and in English too >W<) I want to catch a Rib live again~ and since the the_desserter has been fangirling Nanou/hoehoeP I realllllly want to hear his MOEEEE.
Was there anything else my school-befuddled mind wanted to say. Well, it's the 22nd of October here, so Happy Birthday Juliette (collectivethoughts ) waiiii~
And random, but the guy next to me was typing up his resume or college application or whatever and IT MAKES ME SO NERVOUS. >___<
argh T__T
can't wait to get home to watch my TS of the NicoNicoSportsFest~ and Smiley*2G =)
and maybe if I can re-watch Hiwaily*2 for all the craaaaazy~
Aaahh I want to watch Inoue Mao's "My Darling is a Foreigner" it looks cute *w* and also I wonder if "Kimi ni Todoke" is available? I HEARD GERO WATCHED IT *W* I should get around to watching my AnS/HnA/VSA (if I have any) and AnShi I have on my harddrive XDDD and I still have to finish My Girl, Orange Days, Hammer Session, Hotaru no Hikari 2, etc < - - - - - fails so badly at finishing dramas XDD
Which reminds me that I wanted to post up pictures/recordings...
hopefully I can be productive enough to do it. And oh right! I haven't played Fire Emblem in months T___T -wants to play- but it takes me hours to play and I have to find sometime to sit and stare at how awesome Ike/Geoffrey/Sothe/Haar is (jk, I like them all, but these people pwn! well, I need to lvl up Sothe though T__T) Which reminds me that my friend told me they are giving away free Mews on WiFi for HeartGold/SoulSilver. whhhhhhyy?! I want Mew!!! >__< -has Diamond- my friend might trade it to be momentarily so I can hunt for it on the GTS (though Stephie told me she'd teach me how to hack the GTS or something LOLOL)
Er...that's about it for now -blank stare- It's very gdgd, sorry! And also very stream of conscious. LOL -writes what pops into mind-
Well, see you around you good folk~~ =)
P.S. I'll organize my DW tags later~~ ^^ -sorry for crossposting to LJ so much, can only ask DW from school^^;;- ________________________________________
I want to go on Sat for the Hatsune Miku concert (+ there seems to be more anime/manga stuff on Sat)
but people I know IRL will opt for Sun because there are like SATs on Sat...and it's more expensive on Sat...
So I'm lost~ what shall I do? >___<
on the other hand, we haven't bought tickets yet, so I wonder how much more expensive at the counter it'll be/ or if it'll run out?
For people with experience, how long do you have to line-up for? (unless you all pre-buy tickets...)
-nervous about this whole ordeal-
I dunno the first thing about attending a con, so please feel free to give advice/suggestions/hints, etc!
Meme timmmmmme~ XD
From x_tsubasa_x3 ^____^
★ leave a comment saying "You're my one in a mirron~"
★ i'll respond by asking you five questions to satisfy my curiosity.
★ update your journal with the answers to your questions.
★ include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions.
My questions are:
1. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
2. Where do you want to live when you become a home owner?
3. If you could spend the day with Arashi, what would you do?
4. If you had one super power, what would it be?
5. How'd you get into NND?
1. Hm...it might be pasta. It's so tastyyyy~ PASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~
2. Hm...honestly~ I want to live all over~ I like NY though. I was thinking I'd like London or Tokyo XD Paris er...I like it, but I dunno if I want to live there XDD
3. I would play video games with Arashi *w* just because of Sho-kun';s epic win and Nino would be so scary competitive...XDD
4. If I had a super power...it'd definitely be mind-reading! XDDD
5. MWHAHAHA. Honestly, I first found about it when I heard that a clip of ReboCon was on there and I REALLLLY WANTED TO WATCH IT BUT I WASN'T A MEMBER. =/ So I went through all the trouble of singing up to watch it. LOL I didn't realize then, but I made a mistake in commenting in English on the video w/Neeko's hair is pink. LOL fail. XD then I got into Vocaloid/Utattemita from YT and remembered I was a member of NND already from Reborn...and it went from there lol.
I'd make a longer post but I'm too lazy. sorry! I've had this under drafts since forever, sorry it took me so long to do this! Will be making Namahousou Log Pt 2 soon. XD
LOLI.COM tweeted this: 【急募】Native LanguageがEnglishのニコ厨 or LOLI.COMファンの方、いらっしゃらないかしら。 English Skype TalkingをEnjoyしたいです。
I guess he wants chat buddies to improve his English? XD -couldn't resist the lure or writing in English- lol so I just RTed it XD
and he responded and it made be laugh a little because the way he phrased it...it sounds kinda internet predator-ish JK LOLOLOL XD
@SeraphicTune Yes! I wanna make my English better with very funny talking. Don't you wanna talk with me by Skype? :)
(but ehhh his English is pretty good! -wishes she could be good at Japanese...-)
I had to reply to the question, ne? Or I'd feel rude...;___; and his reponse was this: @SeraphicTune Thanks! My English is so poor,but I'll struggle to make it better ^^ ! Don't be shy please www I'm not HENTAI! ^^ w
LOLOLOLOL. this made me laugh. Totally internet predator sounding. jkjk XDDD I dunno where he got HENTAI from. LOLOL. randomly sticks it on...I'M NOT HENTAI!! lololol reminds me of when T-kun was like HOMO JA NAI! XDD
and when my friend went to Japan over the summer, I think she went to an unofficial shop and purchased some Arashi goods for us (I'm pretty sure it's unofficial since I don't think she knows where the store is and it didn't have the mark, etc)
but I'm so appreciative *w* it's so pretttttty~
here's some pics! ^^
( Pictures under cut...because I'm nice like that, jk XDDCollapse )
I'm sorry...I post the most random things.
hope Homecoming will be fine tomorrow.

Heading down wherein the forlorn bridge startles,
Chasing grounds against the leech of thunder,
At a glance in the garden I met someone new,
From the start, when the sun arises.
At hand we are!
On the dot in this burning bush
It's just on time; it's the best we are
No storm shall loot us apart
Just in means of fire against dust,
With a brave stance beyond,
Through the skies above;
We are all in can, branched-in a seal
Just like sand,
We are different from each sea
But just like water,
The sand has its own isle along with the ocean covering its nest.
Friendship is a seal from the bush, sent for people who need it
It casts a spell full of magic
It makes a ladder that has bough, affability and compassion
The real strength is justified only in night
Yet a leaf falls
Then see how the wind blew it off
And think how the ground shall catch it;
Do you think the leaf can return from tree again?

The api for dormant frame chains is unfortunately poorly designed w.r.t. error handling. Looks like it has no way to report an oom error in JS_SaveFrameChain.
What's the problem?
There is no allocation under JS_SaveFrameChain, but if there were, then null return would mean that JS_ReportOutOfMemory(cx) had already been called by the JS_SaveFrameChain implementation.
I would like to allocate under JS_SaveFrameChain. The API says:
* Saving and restoring frame chains.
* These two functions are used to set aside cx's call stack while that stack
* is inactive. After a call to JS_SaveFrameChain, it looks as if there is no
* code running on cx. Before calling JS_RestoreFrameChain, cx's call stack
* must be balanced and all nested calls to JS_SaveFrameChain must have had
* matching JS_RestoreFrameChain calls.
* JS_SaveFrameChain deals with cx not having any code running on it. A null
* return does not signify an error, and JS_RestoreFrameChain handles a null
* frame pointer argument safely.
So I don't have a way to signal OOM if we were to implement this with a vector in cx.
Duh, I see! We should change the API, it's new enough we can get away with it (did it even release in an extant spidermonkey tarball?).
Two options:
1. Change the Save API to return JSBool with a maybe-null JSStackFrame pointer in an out param.
2. (Ugly): change the API to return a non-null invalid value ((JSStackFrame *)NULL + 1) to mean error.
Why do we return the JSStackFrame pointer at all? Can we just make it bool?
The return value is for sanity checking -- we want caller to match internal set-aside, to catch unbalanced/mismatched save/restore control flow, etc. This is intentional but perhaps it's not worth the hassle.
Not a blocker. Enhancement. Makes recursion faster. Still should do.
Somebody fixed this sometime.

Grades: NS-K | 89 students
- Apple Montessori was founded by Rex and Jane Bailey in 1971.
- Our young but rich history is the result of the initial vision and determination of Jane Bailey, a Montessori teacher who emigrated from Scotland, who knew the importance of an early childhood education.
- Unhappy with the traditional approach to learning and motivated by her own young children, she opened one of the first Montessori schools in northern New Jersey.
- The philosophy upon which Apple Montessori School is based embraces the most fundamental teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori.
- Our method is designed to build upon the individual skills and knowledge acquired in the pre-school and kindergarten years.
- By offering multi-aged classrooms rich with Montessori materials, your child will be actively engaged in their own learning process.
- He or she can move through new challenging materials quickly, or on to another experience without the boredom of waiting for others to catch up. He or she can repeat these same activities until mastery is achieved.
- This can be done without frustration of being pushed ahead before one is ready.
- His or her own feelings of accomplishment act as a reinforcement to succeed.

We first started introducing our Coordination Resolution process back in June of 2010 – just as the economy was bouncing along the bottom of the trough. Two years later, I'd like to encourage you to investigate this process again. Why? It is still paying huge dividends on projects.
Let me tell you about a few key figures…
The cost of this Lean Construction approach to Coordination is averaging less than 0.185% of the cost of the construction project. And it includes providing high quality fabrication information and 2D installation drawings, as well as fully-documented 6D (Facilities Management) model.
If the total cost of your subs fees for coordination exceed 0.15% of the project, you are missing out on an opportunity to increase your profit per project.
For the past four years, Team Vico has been working on a better way to perform coordination. Don't get me wrong, using 3D models and a clash detection system as many firms are doing today is a huge improvement over the 2D-centric coordination process of the past. But, based on work with Healthcare and other customers, we have pioneered a process that has shown an average of a 40% reduction in overall coordination time and a huge reduction in coordination expense.
We have some great resources to help you better understand the process:
Webinar: Coordination Resolution - a Lean Approach to Clash and Coordination

Charles Dickens' 200th birthday on Feb. 7 and Edith Wharton's 150th birthday on Jan. 24 got me thinking about how old famous novelists were when they died. Here are some of the longer-living ones I found:
Eudora Welty, 92 (1909-2001)
Upton Sinclair, 90 (1878-1968)
Saul Bellow, 89 (1915-2005)
Agatha Christie, 85 (1890-1976)
Harriet Beecher Stowe, 85 (1811-1896)
How does the longevity of notable authors compare to the longevity of adults in general? In an effort to be at least pseudo-scientific, I found a website that lists the average ages people reached during different eras. But before I say more, some additional life spans:
Norman Mailer, 84 (1923-2007)
Erskine Caldwell, 83 (1903-1987)
Leo Tolstoy, 82 (1828-1910)
Daphne du Maurier, 81 (1907-1989)
William Styron, 81 (1925-2006)
According to the aforementioned Web site, the average white male who reached the age of 20 in 1850, 1900, and 1950 eventually lived to 60.1, 62.19, and 69.52, respectively; the average white female reaching 20 in those three eras lived to 60.2, 63.77, and 74.56, respectively; and people of color reaching 20 in those three eras unfortunately died four to eight years sooner than their white counterparts. Another interlude:
Colette, 81 (1873-1954)
Robert Heinlein, 80 (1907-1988)
H.G. Wells, 79 (1866-1946)
Thornton Wilder, 78 (1897-1975)
Jules Verne, 77 (1828-1905)
I'm only listing some novelists, of course, so it's hard to make statistically sound comparisons. But it looks like the average age of the white-male authors I'm naming in this post was a little higher than the average age of the general white-male population during those years. Another interlude:
John Updike, 76 (1932-2009)
Booth Tarkington, 76 (1869-1946)
Joseph Heller, 76 (1923-1999)
Edith Wharton, 75 (1862-1937)
Mark Twain, 74 (1835-1910)
I listed fewer white-female novelists, because fewer women were published in the past and some of the best authors (like Margaret Atwood) are still living. But those who were adults in the 1900s had life spans a little longer than those of non-novelist females, and the women writers who found success in the 1800s had a lower average life span than non-writers (the tragic early deaths of the Bronte sisters didn't help). Another interlude:
Willa Cather, 73 (1873-1947)
Isaac Asimov, 72 (1920-1992)
Erich Maria Remarque, 72 (1898-1970)
Herman Melville, 72 (1819-1891)
Bernard Malamud, 71 (1914-1986)
My sampling of novelists of color is even smaller than for white-female authors. Again, there were plenty of publishing roadblocks in the past, and some of the best writers (like Toni Morrison) are still living. Another interlude:
Aldous Huxley, 69 (1894-1963)
Zora Neale Hurston, 69 (1891-1960)
Alexandre Dumas, 68 (1802-1870)
Anthony Trollope, 67 (1815-1882)
L.M. Montgomery, 67 (1874-1942)
One would expect successful novelists to reach an older age than people in many other professions, because fame and career satisfaction often bring life-lengthening income and happiness. And there's also some circular logic involved, because longevity can mean more books and more acclaim. Another interlude:
John Steinbeck, 66 (1902-1968)
Sinclair Lewis, 65 (1885-1951)
Wilkie Collins, 65 (1824-1889)
William Faulkner, 64 (1897-1962)
James Baldwin, 63 (1924-1987)
But some novelists didn't get enough life-lengthening exercise because of all that sedentary time spent writing! Another interlude:
Emile Zola, 62 (1840-1902)
Ernest Hemingway, 61 (1899-1961)
Walter Scott, 61 (1771-1832)
George Eliot, 61 (1819-1880)
Nathaniel Hawthorne, 59 (1804-1864)
And it didn't help the health of those unlucky authors who wrote superb novels that got poor reviews and sales during their lifetimes (a la Herman Melville and his whale of a book). Another interlude:
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, 59 (1821-1881)
James Joyce, 58 (1882-1941)
Charles Dickens, 58 (1812-1870)
Louisa May Alcott, 55 (1832-1888)
James Hilton, 54 (1900-1954)
Some novelists dealt with health-sapping racism and sexism. Some (such as Honore de Balzac) worked so hard that it might have contributed to their early deaths. Some had high-strung personalities that led to "self-medicating" with alcohol and drugs. Some took advantage of the many invitations their celebrity brought and partied too hard. Another interlude:
Kate Chopin, 53 (1851-1904)
Mary Shelley, 53 (1797-1851)
Richard Wright, 52 (1908-1960)
Marcel Proust, 51 (1871-1922)
Honore de Balzac, 51 (1799-1850)
There was also the occasional suicide (Ernest Hemingway) and car-accident death (Albert Camus). Another interlude:
Carson McCullers, 50 (1917-1967)
George Orwell, 46 (1903-1950)
Albert Camus, 46 (1913-1960)
F. Scott Fitzgerald, 44 (1896-1940)
Robert Louis Stevenson, 44 (1850-1894)
Then there was the possible 1902 murder of Emile Zola, who died in his sleep of carbon-monoxide poisoning caused by a stopped-up chimney. Zola had enemies because of his courageous 1898 statement publicly denouncing the wrongful conviction of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army. A last interlude:
Jane Austen, 41 (1775-1817)
Charlotte Bronte, 38 (1816-1855)
Emily Bronte, 30 (1818-1848)
Anne Bronte, 29 (1820-1849)
Stephen Crane, 28 (1871-1900)
And the life span of writing this blog post was Feb. 5, 2012, to Feb. 8, 2012. That said, if you have any comments about the longevity of famous authors, I'd love to read them!

Legality of cannabis
|This Attitudes Regarding Legalization has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. (February 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The legality of cannabis varies from country to country. Possession of cannabis is illegal in most countries and has been since the beginning of widespread cannabis prohibition in the late 1930s.[1] However, possession of the plant in small quantities has been decriminalized in many countries and sub-national entities in several parts of the world. For example, Cannabis in Canada will be legal for recreational use if legislation is passed in spring 2017.[2] On 10 December 2013, Uruguay became the first country in the world to legalize the sale, cultivation, and distribution of cannabis.[3][4] Open sales are "illegal, but not punishable", at "coffeeshops" in the Netherlands if certain rules are followed. In the United States, federal law prohibits possession or sale of marijuana for any purpose, but the Obama Administration has refrained from prosecuting users and dealers operating in compliance with state (see Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction), territory, and Indian reservation laws which permit medical or recreational marijuana.[5][6]
The medicinal use of cannabis is legal in a number of countries, including Canada, the Czech Republic and Israel. Medical cannabis in the United States is legal in 29 states as of December 2016.
Some countries have laws which are not as vigorously prosecuted as others, but apart from the countries which offer access to medical marijuana, most countries have various penalties ranging from lenient to very severe. Some infractions are taken more seriously in some countries than others in regard to the cultivation, use, possession or transfer of cannabis for recreational use. A few jurisdictions have lessened penalties for possession of small quantities of cannabis, making it punishable by confiscation and a fine, rather than imprisonment. Some jurisdictions/drug courts use mandatory treatment programs for young or frequent users, with freedom from narcotic drugs as the goal and a few jurisdictions permit cannabis use for medicinal purposes. Drug tests to detect cannabis are increasingly common in many countries and have resulted in jail sentences and loss of employment.[7] However, simple possession can carry long jail sentences in some countries, particularly in parts of East Asia and Southeast Asia, where the sale of cannabis may lead to life imprisonment or even execution.

Cannabis has been in use for thousands of years. In India and Nepal cannabis has long been used in religious rituals.[8]
Under the name cannabis, nineteenth century medical practitioners sold the drug (usually as a tincture), popularizing the word among English-speakers. In 1894, the Report of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission, commissioned by the UK Secretary of State and the government of India, was instrumental in a decision not to criminalize the drug in those countries (See Shamir and Hacker (2001) in 'further readings' below.)[9] From the year 1860, different states in the US started to implement regulations for sales of Cannabis sativa.[10] A 1905 Bulletin from the US Department of Agriculture lists twenty-nine states with laws mentioning cannabis.[11] In 1925, a change of the International Opium Convention[12] banned exportation of Indian hemp to countries that have prohibited its use. Importing countries were required to issue certificates approving the importation, stating that the shipment was to be used "exclusively for medical or scientific purposes".
Around 1840, doctors had realized that marijuana had a medical value, therefore it was freely sold for over a century in pharmacies.[13] Marijuana used to be freely grown, sold, bought, and smoked in the United States up until it was criminalized in 1937.[13]
The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was the first US national law making cannabis possession illegal, with the exception of industrial or medical purposes. Growers of hemp products were required to purchase an annual tax stamp. Retailers were required to purchase stamps priced at $1 per annum.[14][citation needed]
The name marijuana (Mexican Spanish marihuana, mariguana) is associated almost exclusively with the plant's psychoactive use. The term is now well known in English largely due to the efforts of American drug prohibitionists during the 1920s and 1930s. Mexico officially adopted prohibition in 1925, following the International Opium Convention.[15]
The use of cannabis became widespread in the Western world due to the rise and influence of the counterculture that began in the late 1960s.[citation needed] In the late 1990s in California, Dennis Peron started a movement to legalize medical cannabis by opening the San Francisco Cannabis Buyers Club in 1992. The club became the headquarters for an activist movement that drafted the Compassionate Use Act, which was transformed into Proposition 215—the coalition managed to secure the passage of Proposition 215 with the support of billionaire and philanthropist George Soros in November 1996.[16]
A BBC article, published in October 2011, reported on the actions of local authorities in the border town of Maastricht in the Netherlands. According to the article, the authorities were primarily concerned with those cannabis customers who had traveled from other European countries, such as Belgium and Germany. At the time, broader restrictions, which would apply to the entire nation, were being discussed in the Dutch parliament. From October 1, 2011, only Dutch, Belgian and German residents would be prohibited from purchasing cannabis from venues in Maastricht.[17]
On November 6, 2012, Colorado Amendment 64 and Washington Initiative 502 were passed by popular initiative, thereby becoming the first American states to legalize the recreational use of cannabis under state law. However cannabis is still classified as a schedule I.
On January 1, 2013, an amendment to the Netherlands' cannabis policy was introduced to "combat drug-related crime and nuisance." The new rule requires cannabis coffee shop owners to monitor the identities of their customers to ensure that only residents of the Netherlands purchase cannabis. Owners are expected to maintain adherence through procedures such as asking customers to produce valid documents to prove their status.[18]
In a historic event, Colorado governor John Hickenlooper signed two bills May 28, 2013 that made Colorado the world's first fully regulated recreational cannabis market for adults.[19] Hickenlooper said to the media: "Certainly, this industry will create jobs. Whether it's good for the brand of our state is still up in the air. But the voters passed Amendment 64 by a clear majority. That's why we're going to implement it as effectively as we possibly can." In its independent analysis, the Colorado Center on Law and Policy found that the state could expect to see "$60 million in total combined savings and additional revenue for Colorado's budget with a potential for this number to double after 2017."[20]
However, Colorado has also had to increase public surveillance on the use of legal marijuana use. Public health awareness has now become an important topic for government agencies in Colorado as more and more people have access to the drug.[21]
Uruguay then became the world's first nation to legalize the production, sale, and consumption of cannabis in December 2013 after a 16–13 vote in the Senate.[3] Julio Calzada, Secretary-General of Uruguay's National Drug Council, said in a December 2013 interview that the government will be responsible for regulating the production side of the process: "Companies can get a license to cultivate if they meet all the criteria. However, this won't be a free market. The government will control the entire production and determine the price, quality, and maximum production volume."[22]
Under the new law, people are allowed to buy up to 40 grams (1.4 oz) of cannabis from the Uruguayan government each month. Users have to be 18 or older and register in a national database that tracks their consumption. Cultivators are allowed to grow up to 6 crops at their homes each year and must not surpass 480 grams (17 oz). Registered smoking clubs are allowed to grow 99 plants annually. Buying cannabis is prohibited for foreigners and it is illegal to move it across international borders.[23]
In July 2014, president Calzada announced that the implementation of the law would be postponed to 2015, as "there are practical difficulties," and explained that authorities will grow all the cannabis that can be sold legally.[24] The concentration of THC would be 15% or lower.[25] An opposition presidential candidate claimed that the new law will never take effect, because of the perception that legalizing marijuana is not practicable.[26]
As of October 2014, the government of the Netherlands website explained that coffee shops were permitted to sell cannabis under certain strict conditions: venues could not not sell alcoholic drinks; the consumption of alcohol on the premises would not be permitted; the venues must not create any form of public nuisance; "hard drugs" must not be sold; cannabis could not be sold to minors; drugs could not be advertised; and "large quantities" of cannabis (more than five grams) cannot be sold in a single transaction. Individual municipalities were responsible for permitting the establishment of cannabis coffee shops within their boundaries, and also allowed to introduce additional rules.[18]
The Dutch Public Prosecution Service does not prosecute members of the public for "possession of small quantities of soft drugs," which are defined as: "no more than 5 grams of cannabis (marijuana or hash); no more than 5 cannabis plants." It is illegal to grow cannabis plants in the Netherlands, but in cases in which a maximum of five plants is grown for "personal consumption," the authorities will most likely seize the plants, without taking any further action. If more than five plants are seized, the police may also seek prosecution.[18]
Possession of cannabis in Canada for recreational use will be legalized by the government in 2017; medical cannabis is already legal in line with the country's Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations. Sales to the general public are likely to commence in January 2018. Subsequently, the substance will remain controlled. Some news reporters predict it will be sold through Provincial liquor stores, although others suggest that direct mail-order sales by growers might be allowed with specific regulations over this process to prevent sales to minors.[27] During the federal election campaign, the Liberals (who subsequently formed the new federal government) had promised "new, stronger laws" against sales to minors, driving while impaired and sales through channels not specifically authorized to do so.[28]
After November 2016 elections and voting on propositions ended, four states including Florida, North Dakota, Arkansas, and Montana legalized medical marijuana. Four States including California, Massachusetts, Maine, and Nevada legalized the recreational use of marijuana in adults 21 and older.[29]
Alcohol and marijuana prohibition correlation[edit]
Franklin D. Roosevelt promised in the 1932 presidential election to end the prohibition for alcohol and fulfilled that promise in 1933. However, Roosevelt supported more restrictive laws from 1935 for cannabis.[30] The U.S Treasury Department created a new department in 1930 named the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. Harry J. Anslinger - who previously held the position of Assistant Prohibition Commissioner - became the Commissioner of Narcotics in 1930. Commissioner Anslinger's report in 1935 noted: "In the absence of Federal legislation on the subject, the States and cities should rightfully assume the responsibility for providing vigorous measures for the extinction of this lethal weed, and it is therefore hoped that all public-spirited citizens will earnestly enlist in the movement urged by the Treasury Department to adjure intensified enforcement of marijuana laws."[31] By 1937, 46 out of 48 states had officially classified cannabis as a narcotic along the lines of morphine, heroin, and cocaine. Anslinger's campaign supported the passing of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. The bill originated in the Harrison Narcotic Act of 1914, but that law didn't actually ban marijuana outright.
Attitudes regarding legalization[edit]
Many advocate legalization of cannabis, believing that it will eliminate the illegal trade and associated crime, yield valuable tax and reduce policing costs.[32] For example, in Canada, where Cannabis is legal for medical use, with a doctor's prescription, 7 in 10 Canadians also favour full decriminalization according to a June 2016 national poll.[33]
In 1969, only 16% of voters in the USA supported legalization, according to a Gallup poll. Another said that this number had risen to 36% by 2005.[34] More recent polling indicates that the number has risen even further; in 2009, between 46% and 56% of US voters said they would support legalization.[35] According to press reports, supporters of the California initiative estimate that about $15 billion worth of marijuana is sold every year in the state. Thus, an excise tax on the retail sales of marijuana could raise at least $1.3 billion a year in revenue.[36]
Attitudes regarding marijuana regulation have also changed as some states (Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Maine, and Alaska) have passed their own laws legalizing marijuana for recreational use. According to a Gallup Poll published in December 2012, 64% of Americans believe the federal government should not intervene in these states. The survey also found an age difference between those that think marijuana should be legal and those that still support prohibition: 60% of 18- to 29-year-olds favor legalization while only 48% of those age 30-64 and 36% of those older than 65 feel this way.[37]
The marijuana industry has grown significantly since 2000 and federal officials maintain that the legalization of marijuana will contribute to the increase of youth and adolescent use because it will make marijuana easier to obtain, reduce its perceived risks and more adult role models would be smoking it. However, studies in Colorado have shown no connection between legalized marijuana and youth marijuana use. In Colorado teen use is lower than the national average, fewer teens report using marijuana than said they did prior to legalization. Underage use will continue to decrease with strict age limits, Colorado believes, and the implementation of risk awareness programs.[38] Surveys conducted in Colorado interviewed over 17,000 students in middle & high school showing that from 2009 to 2015 the rates in which teenagers smoked marijuana has decreased. The state of Colorado has also seen the percentage of teenagers who have smoked marijuana in the past 30 days drop to 21%, from 25%.Ingraham, Christopher. "Now we know what happens to teens when you make pot legal". The Washington Post. Retrieved 17 October 2016.
In 2014, Colorado invested $2 million generated from marijuana sales tax revenue on campaigns aimed at anti-marijuana education of minors and the state has plans to spend double that amount, $4 million in 2015 (out of a total projected marijuana sales tax revenue of $125 million). The current campaigns provide information on marijuana laws, the impacts of youth use, the dangers of driving under the influence of any drug, and the harmful side effects of using marijuana.[39] With strict laws on possession and use, the state is working to deter underage and unsafe use. By redirecting Colorado's tax revenues to educational programs for youth and adults the state is showing a commitment to fully inform the public and that may be making strides in keeping youth cannabis use to a minimum, or at least helping to keep teen uses from increasing.
In the Pew Research Center poll released on April 4, 2013, 52 percent of Americans supported legalizing the drug and only 45 percent oppose legalization. While support has generally tracked upward over time, it has spiked 11 percentage points since 2010.[40] Research conducted by the Pew Research Center in February 2014 shows an increase in the percentage of legalization supporters, from 52% to 54%,[41]
Islamic view[edit]
In the medieval Arab world, hashish use was associated with Sufism, a counterculture within the Arab community. Their religious stance and non-conformist attitudes to conservative Islamic rules combined to make the Sufis pariahs in the Arab world. Islamic leaders used the Sufis' hashish culture as a pretext for oppressing dissent within the societies they controlled. While efforts to eliminate hashish have often been quite dramatic, all attempts ultimately have proved futile.[42]
Human rights[edit]
It has been put forth[who?] that drug prohibition laws are incompatible with the protections afforded by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The scope for the ECHR to be co-opted to evolve drug policy is far from exhausted. Involved are article 8 (right to private and family life), article 9 (freedom of thought), and article 14 (prohibition of discrimination).[43]
Use of capital punishment against the cannabis trade[edit]
Several countries have either carried out or legislated capital punishment for cannabis trafficking.
|Saudi Arabia
|Has been used
|An Iraqi man named Mattar bin Bakhit al-Khazaali was convicted of smuggling hashish in the northern town of Arar, close to the Iraqi border and was executed in 2005.[44]
|Has been used
|In 1997, the Indonesian government[citation needed] added the death penalty as a punishment for those convicted of drugs in their country. The law has yet to be enforced on any significant, well-established drug dealers. The former Indonesian President, Megawati Sukarnoputri announced Indonesia's intent to implement a fierce war on drugs in 2002. She called for the execution of all drug dealers. "For those who distribute drugs, life sentences and other prison sentences are no longer sufficient," she said. "No sentence is sufficient other than the death sentence." Indonesia's new president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, also proudly supports executions for drug dealers.[45]
|Has been used
|Mustaffa Kamal Abdul Aziz, 38 years old, and Mohd Radi Abdul Majid, 53 years old, were executed at dawn on January 17, 1996, for the trafficking of 1.2 kilograms of cannabis.[46]
|No longer imposed: Extrajudicial killings now commonplace
|The Philippines abolished the death penalty on June 24, 2006.[47] Previously, the Philippines had introduced stronger anti-drug laws, including the death penalty, in 2002.[48] Possession of over 500 grams of marijuana usually earned execution in the Philippines, as did possessing over ten grams of opium, morphine, heroin, ecstasy, or cocaine. Angeles City is often a vatican for Filipino cannabis users and cultivators, although enforcement has been inconsistent.[49]
|United Arab Emirates
|In the United Arab Emirates city of Fujairah, a woman named Lisa Tray was sentenced to death in December 2004, after being found guilty of possessing and dealing hashish. Undercover officers in Fujairah claim they caught Tray with 149 grams of hashish. Her lawyers have appealed the sentence.[citation needed]
In July 2012, a 23-year-old British man Nathaniel Lees,[50] and an unnamed 19-year-old Syrian citizen were sentenced to death for attempting to sell 20 grams (about 3/4 of an ounce) of marijuana to an undercover officer in Dubai. [51] [52] [53]
|Frequently used
|Death penalty is possible for drug offenses under Thai law. Extrajudicial killings also alleged.[54]
|Frequently used
|Death penalty has been carried out many times for cannabis trafficking. (July 20, 2004) A convicted drug trafficker, Raman Selvam Renganathan who stored 2.7 kilograms of cannabis or marijuana in a Singapore flat was hanged in Changi Prison. He was sentenced to death on September 1, 2003 after an eight-day trial. (The Straits Times, July 20, 2004).
|People's Republic of China
|Frequently used
|Death penalty is exercised regularly for drug tradings under Chinese law, often in an annual frenzy corresponding to the United Nations' International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug trafficking.[55] The government does not make precise records public, however Amnesty International estimates that around 500 people are executed there each year for drug offenses[citation needed]. Those executed have typically been convicted of smuggling or trafficking in anything from cannabis to methamphetamine.
|United States
|Never imposed
|While current US federal law allows for the death penalty for those who have extraordinary amounts of the drug (60,000 kilograms or 60,000 plants) or are part of a continuing criminal enterprise in smuggling contraband which nets over $20 million, the United States Supreme Court has held that no crimes other than murder and treason can constitutionally carry a death sentence; however, Kennedy v. Louisiana left open the possibility of capital punishment for crimes against the state (e.g., treason, espionage, drug kingpin activity) regardless of whether or not death actually occurred. (Coker v. Georgia and Kennedy v. Louisiana)
Non-drug purposes[edit]
Hemp is the common name for cannabis and is the English term used when this annual herb is grown for non-drug purposes. These include industrial purposes for which cultivation licenses may be issued in the European Union (EU). When grown for industrial purposes hemp is often called industrial hemp, and a common product is fibre for use in a variety of different ways. Fuel is often a by-product of hemp cultivation.
Hemp seed may be used as food. Though the UK's Defra (Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) will not issue cultivation licenses for this purpose, treating it as a non-food crop, the seed appears on the UK market as a food product.
In the UK hemp seed and fibre have always been perfectly legal products. Cultivation for non drug purposes was, however, completely prohibited from 1928 until circa 1998, when Home Office industrial-purpose licenses became available under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
Industrial strains intended for legal use within the EU are bred to comply with regulations limiting THC content to 0.2%.[citation needed] (THC content is a measure of the herb's drug potential and can reach 25% or more in drug strains).
International reform[edit]
Cannabis reform at the international level refers to efforts to ease restrictions on cannabis use under international treaties. Internationally, the drug is in Schedule IV, the most restrictive category, of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. As of January 1, 2005, 180 nations belonged to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.[56]
The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs makes a distinction between recreational, medical and scientific uses of drugs; nations are allowed to permit medical use of drugs, but recreational use is prohibited by Article 4:
- The parties shall take such legislative and administrative measures as may be necessary . . . Subject to the provisions of this Convention, to limit exclusively to medical and scientific purposes the production, manufacture, export, import, distribution of, trade in, use and possession of drugs.
The Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances requires its Parties to establish criminal penalties for possession of drugs prohibited under the Single Convention for recreational use. A nation wanting to legalize marijuana would have to withdraw from the treaties; every signatory has a right to do this.[57]
As of January 2009, "cannabis, cannabis resin, cannabinol and its derivatives" are categorized as Class B drugs, in accordance with "(Amendment) Order 2008" of the United Kingdom's Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Following a proposal by UK politician David Blunkett "to seek the reclassification of cannabis from a Class B drug to a Class C drug" in 2001,[58] the classification was moved to the less stringent Class C in January 2004,[59] but was returned to Class B in January 2009.[60]
Some barriers to cannabis reform are the result of the international drug control structure, while others are related to political circumstances. A number of non-government organizations support the prohibition of cannabis as a recreational drug. In 2013, 97 NGOs in 37 countries joined the World Federation Against Drugs.[61]
The international drug control system is overseen by the United Nations General Assembly and UN Economic and Social Council. The Single Convention grants the Commission on Narcotic Drugs the power to reschedule controlled substances. Cindy Fazey, the former Chief of Demand Reduction for the United Nations Drug Control Programme, said:[62]
- "Theoretically, the conventions can be changed by modification, such as moving a drug from one schedule to another or simply by removing it from the schedules. However, this cannot be done with cannabis because it is embedded in the text of the 1961 Convention. Also, modification would need a majority of the Commissions' 53 members to vote for it. Amendment to the conventions, that is changing an article or part of an article, does not offer a more promising route for the same reason. Even if a majority were gained, then only one state need ask for the decision to go to the Economic and Social Council for further consideration, and demand a vote. The 1971 and 1988 Conventions need a two-thirds majority for change, not just a simple majority."
To modify cannabis regulations at the international level, a conference to adopt amendments in accordance with Article 47 of the Single Convention would be needed. This has been done once, with the 1972 Protocol Amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs;[citation needed] as Fazey notes, this process is fraught with bureaucratic obstacles.
In reference to situations where the Commission on Narcotic Drugs proposes changing the scheduling of any drug, 21 U.S.C. § 811(d)(2)(B) of The U.S. Controlled Substances Act gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services the power to issue recommendations that are binding on the U.S. representative in international discussions and negotiations:
- "Whenever the Secretary of State receives information that the Commission on Narcotic Drugs of the United Nations proposes to decide whether to add a drug or other substance to one of the schedules of the Convention, transfer a drug or substance from one schedule to another, or delete it from the schedules, the Secretary of State shall transmit timely notice to the Secretary of Health and Human Services of such information who shall publish a summary of such information in the Federal Register and provide opportunity to interested persons to submit to him comments respecting the recommendation which he is to furnish, pursuant to this subparagraph, respecting such proposal. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall evaluate the proposal and furnish a recommendation to the Secretary of State which shall be binding on the representative of the United States in discussions and negotiations relating to the proposal."
The U.S Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) denied in June 2011 a petition that proposed rescheduling of cannabis and enclosed a long explanation for the denial.[63]
On March 5, 2013, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) urged the United States government to challenge the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in Colorado and Washington. INCB President, Raymond Yans stated that these state laws violate international drug treaties, namely the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961. The Office of the US Attorney General said in December 2012 that regardless of any changes in state law, growing, selling or possessing any amount of marijuana remained illegal under federal law. Raymond Yans called the statement "good but insufficient" and said he hoped that the issue would soon be addressed by the US Government in line with the international drug control treaties.[64]

The defending NL Cy Young winner, Tim Lincecum, is going through a rough stretch to start this season. Only eight and a third innings through two starts for Lincecum – who averaged closer to seven innings per appearance last season – and his ability stats are off. Sure, he's struck 10 batters out, yet he's also walked six with only one of those being of the intentional kind.
Lincecum's batted ball data suggests not much of a change, he's getting more infield flyballs than ever, and also allowing more homeruns with only a slight bump in the amount of flyballs given up. The most worrisome aspects for Lincecum are his downed velocity. His fastball is averaging 92.8 MPH, a mild drop from this 94.1 career average. Lincecum's slider has also dropped about MPH, his curve has dropped by closer to three, and his change has remained static. It is worth noting that during Lincecum's last start he did top out in the 96 MPH range.
This isn't a Daniel Cabrera or Scott Olsen situation, but still, for a pitcher coming off a huge workload, people are going to start wondering and rumoring. Remember all of those whispers about Lincecum's durability around draft day? If he has a few more rough starts, expect those to creep up again, albeit perhaps unfairly.
At this point, it looks like a command issue more than anything; only ~45% of Lincecum's pitches are in the zone and he's only registering 39% first-pitch strikes, copare that to career averages of 50% and 58% and there's a world of difference. Whether it continues or not is something worth watching, but don't be surprised if Lincecum fails to match his 2008 season this year, or any year in the future.

She used to live with her grandmother Alicia, before Alicia died and befriended her neighbors Baron Alberto and Tonio. Alice befriended a Gallade living in Alamos Garden, which she knew since she was little. When she was very young, Tonio and Alice were playing in the garden, when she slipped and fell. A Darkrai then intervened and saved her life, but Alice bore no recollection of the events, assuming Tonio saved her. She is the best friend of Darkrai.

|Alice's Chimchar helps her heat the air for her balloon with its flames. It doesn't seem to stay in a Poké Ball. It befriended Ash's Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup when they were in Alamos Town.
|In the beginning, everyone thought that Darkrai was bad, except for Alice. It turned out that he was trying to protect Alamos Town from the rage of Dialga and Palkia.

Tortillas flavored with tomatoes, chiles and other seasonings are rapidly hitting the shelves, but there is still nothing that can replace the taste of a rustic, handmade tortilla fired off a hot grill. In her handsomely photographed new book Breads of the Southwest: Recipes in the Native American, Spanish, and Mexican Traditions (Chronicle Books), Beth Hensperger shows how to make tortillas by hand, as well as other traditional breads and even explores new breads of Southwest. In this tortilla recipe, she mixes old world ingredients together in a new coupling, rich in nutrients and taste. One of the key ingredients is amaranth, which she describes as follows:
"Amaranth, a grain about the size of a poppyseed, is high in calcium and phosphorus and contains approximately 16 percent protein and a high proportion of lysine, an essential amino acid rarely found in vegetable matter... Called the "Aztec grain" because of its use in early Mexican and Central American cultures for food as well as for religious ceremonies, it has as a strong, wild flavor and a rather gelatinous texture. It is available as whole grain or flour. Whole amaranth may be popped into tiny puffs, like popcorn. Adding the cooked grain to yeast and cornmeal batters helps baked goods to retain moisture and lightness."
These are modern-day corn and four tortillas, updated with some flavorful specialty flour added. Amaranth flour melds exceptionally well with the flavor of corn flour. Wild amaranth grain was widely used by the Apache and norther Mexico bakers. The tortillas bake up thick and are a good substitute for bread with a calabacitas or posole stew.
Makes twelve 4-inch tortillas
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour or bread flour
1-1/2 cups blue corn masa harina para tortillas or harinilla
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup amaranth flour or mesquite flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups warm water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter, cut into pieces
1) In a medium mixing bowl using your hands or a wooden spoon or in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the unbleached flour, the blue cornmeal, the whole wheat and amaranth flours, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly, using a fork or pastry blender if making by hand. Gradually add the hot water to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dough sticks together, clears the sides of the bowl, and a soft firm ball is formed, adding a tablespoon of water at a time if the dough seems too dry. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rest for 45 minutes.
2) To shape the tortillas, divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a ball and place on a baking sheet or marble slab. Drape each ball around your forefinger, making a depression on the underside, which makes a mushroom shape and creates an air bubble to help it roll out into an even round. On a very lightly floured work surface, flatten the ball with your palm. (The flattened balls can rest on a greased baking sheet, covered tightly, for 30 minutes longer, if necessary.) Place one of the portions of the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Press in a tortilla press, turning at regular intervals, until the desired thickness. Or roll out with a rolling pin to a 4-inch round, 1/4 inch thick. Stack between layers of plastic wrap to prevent drying out while pressing out the remaining dough. Bake as soon as possible.
3) To bake the tortillas, heat a large ungreased heavy cast-iron skillet or comal over medium-high heat until a drop of water dances across the surface. Place the tortillas, one at a time, in the pan, and bake for about 2-1/2 minutes. When the dough looks dry and brown spots are formed, turn over to the other side and bake for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep flipping back and forth until the tortilla is soft, not crisp; it will puff up to l/2 inch thick. It is very easy to overbake, so pay close attention to the timing. Remove each tortilla to a clean towel. Cover until serving.

The baby simulation was a lot easier than I had expected. The baby I got only cried a total of nine minutes though. I thought it would keep me up all night, but it only woke me up about two times. With paired parents it is much easier, because there are two people to take of the baby, whereas with one person it could become a hassle, like when I was in the shower and my mom had to quickly come get me to take care of the baby. If there were two parents than that wouldn't have been a problem. At first, she thought it was funny and didn't mind, but towards the early morning when it cried a few time my mother got annoyed because she could hear it too and got woken up. In public I wasn't treated too much differently, except a few strange looks every now and again, but overall there weren't too many problems with other people. Again with my baby only crying nine total minutes it didn't affect my social life too much, but it was a hassle to take it everywhere with me, and when talking on the phone, it was hard to stop in the middle of a sentence to care for the baby. It was half and half with being less or more popular, because some people just gave weird looks, and others new what I was going through and came up to me and said a few different things about the baby. I would have gotten a shirt that buttoned in the back instead of over the head, because it was a hassle to take the shirt on and off and not tilt the head back, plus if it were a real baby like when I baby-sit my lit cousin, it seems that babies don't like things going over their heads, because it is hard to get a regular shirt on him without him crying or fussing. I would get a part time job between school and watching the baby, and I know my mom and dad would help me out financially if I needed, and I would just keep a tab and pay them back when I'm through with college and have a real job. Overall I think it cost a lot more as it grows. B
