Ganjapreneurs flock to Colorado following marijuana legalization
"The future is so bright, I gotta wear shades," croons Peter Williams, the 46-year-old chief of operations at a Denver dispensary that hopes to be known as the IKEA of Weed.
Spoken amidst blinding high-voltage light at The Medicine Man's 20,000 square-foot grow facility, Williams' reference is appropriate. Thousands of baby cannabis green plants are blooming—but the vision of what they'll reap has already blossomed. Despite being one of the largest dispensaries in Colorado, Medicine Man will soon double in size. Call Williams—and his co-owner brother Andy— "ganjapreneurs." But they're not the only ones.
Just 27 days after Colorado opened the doors to recreational marijuana stores, gutsy weed pioneers are flooding the centennial state. From tour guides to chefs, glass blowers to club owners, they each tout different talents to hit the jackpot.
Long a destination for young men answering Greeley's call to "go West," Colorado's status as the first state to legalize recreational marijuana sales has taken its desirability to a new, ahem, high. Mike Maciag, data editor for the state and local government-focused magazine Governing, says an estimated 36,284 people moved to Colorado in 2013, almost 8,000 more than the year before. The number places Colorado in third place as the state with the most domestic in-migration (following North Dakota and Washington, D.C.). With 300 days of sunshine, 54 peaks above 14,000 feet, and a marijuana market poised to bring billions, Colorado is America's treasure chest—the gold rush gone green.
"Once legalization happened, I knew Colorado was the place to be," says Max Patton, a 26-year-old Denver newcomer. Weeks after moving from Oklahoma in November 2013, the skiing aficionado launched maxqualityglass.com—a company specializing in high quality, and high priced, glass pipes (still advertised strictly for tobacco). With a love for marijuana, a background in business, and a first-hand knowledge of the glass market, Patton knew he'd be an asset to dispensaries. He was right. Just two months in, the former land management worker says he's raking in $12,000 a month and then some. "It's a great job," he says. "I get to put a smile on people's faces."
Nipping at his heels for a whiff of something smokin' are Jennifer Defalco and Olivia Mannix, two 24-year-old east coasters who met at UC Boulder and have since created the "first recreational marijuana branding agency", Cannabrand. Jumping on the phone while racing from one meeting to the next, the best buds are nothing if not enthusiastic. "The world perceives cannabis consumers as deadhead, unemployed people—our mission is to change that," says Defalco. Representing all things cannabis from clothing stores to parties, they're now major players in the weed world. "Nothing is certain, but everyone in the industry is so friendly," says Mannix. "It's a risk we're willing to take."

AC/DC drummer cleared of lying on pilot's application
Listen to AC/DC on iHeartRadio
AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd can put his aviation case behind him. New Zealand's "Waikato Times" says a judge has dismissed a charge that the rocker intentionally lied on his 2012 application for a pilot's license.
New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority claimed Rudd denied any prior drug use in a deceptive attempt to get approval to fly helicopters. The CAA brought up the charge after discovering Rudd's admission to police of marijuana and cocaine use during a 2010 drug raid. But his attorney told the court Rudd's drug use ended with the raid, and his conviction in the case was overturned on appeal, which is why he answered "no" to the question.
In his ruling, the judge said he was "very, very suspicious that Mr. Rudd answered the question falsely," and added that Phil "was not a convincing witness." He also admitted the question was misleading, so he was forced to dismiss the charge.
The judge added that if he were riding in a helicopter, he "wouldn't want Mr. Rudd to be the pilot." Rudd was also charged with failing to maintain a pilot's logbook, to which he pled guilty and received a fine of just over $630. He was also required to pay court costs of $126.

PHOTO: Jennifer Lawrence goes commando at 2014 Oscars Party
Listen to Big Show Radio on iHeartRadio
Jennifer Lawrence went commando in a short dress at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday.
The actress showed off the sexy look in a metallic Tom Ford design with sheer paneling that partially exposed her butt and hip, making it clear she was wearing no underwear.
[PHOTOS: Best and Worst Dressed at the Oscars]
Earlier, her red carpet adventures included tripping on a cone and stumbling while arriving for the awards ceremony in a red Dior gown.
But it definitely wasn't her adorable clumsiness that caught eyes at the Vanity Fair soiree.
How do you think she looks?

This is a top notch product!!
By Ken
from Jacksonville, Florida
OK, here we go. Hey baby boomers, if you can access the slides taken by your father (Or mother) from the past, then you HAVE TO have this wonderful product. Want to see the parents looked back in the 60's? Or your friends, neighbors, etc? Want to relive that vacation you took with the parents to the Smokey Mountains? Well, with this great product, you can. You can copy a slide and then transfer to your computer. Now the real beauty of this slide converter is that once you implement to your system, it interfaces with your pre-existing softward. Then you access the software to touch up the photo. The photos look like they were recently taken. With this product, you are bridging over 50 years of technology. I love my slide converter, and trust me, and I guarantee this, you will too. The product is easy to use, you just load the slides into a frame and then run them through the unit. You do not even have to be connected to your computer to begin the process. Once you complete the process of impementing the slides to the unit, you then attach to your computer, via USB, and then push a button. That is it. Your photos snapped of the slides through the unit are then transformed to your computer's photo software. This item is a "must have." It also works on negatives. Ken Malkin
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice for the Price
By USMC Vet.
from Chester County, PA
For the price I am very pleased with the performance and results obtained in copying my very old 35 mm slides and 110 negatives. The software included is very easy to set up and use, and copying takes just seconds to complete. Some of my older slides with thin borders were cropped too much by the borders of plastic frame they are loaded into, but I found that on these I could gently push the slide through the copier one at a time without using the frame and thus copy the entire image without any cropping effect. All of the adjustment controls for light and dark images were very easy to navigate through. I have copied a few hundred images and have no complaints yet. With the unconditional lifetime warranty offered by Hammacher Schlemmer I don't worry about any issues developing in the future.

Brought my family history alive!
By Accordion Jim
from Bakersfield, CA
Began using the slide converter out of the box. Before my first session was over I had converted over 500 slides. This has been a great way to quickly convert 35mm slides to digital jpegs tat I have immediately shared with my family via social media. Wish I had this years ago!!

Really wonderful converter
By jcieslu
from Minneapolis, MN
I have a few thousand slides and negatives to scan. This was such a cost effective and simple way to do it. I'm more pleased than I even expected to be since it's very simple to use. I love that you can view each picture before deciding to scan it or not. I have been getting through them pretty quickly and I really have nothing negative to say about it.

Not bad....fairly simple to use
By Gramma Jan
from Atlanta, GA
Not bad if you just want to preserve old photos but quality is so-so. Probably not high enough resolution for good enlargements but works great for tribute slideshows and sharing memories with family.Sometimes the copies turned green for no apparent reason, even when others on the same strip were okay. For some of those, I chose B/W instead of color. Make sure you know your film speed and have the right trays. I have a bunch of negatives that won't fit the holders. You have to change holders every 4 slides or so. Take your time and once you get the system down it goes pretty quickly.

Better than I expected
By Boreal Shepherdess
from North Pole, Alaska
I had most of my older pictures water damaged, and hoped to reclaim them from the negatives. After receiving this product in the mail, I pulled out my old negatives and was disappointed to find that some of them were water damaged as well, though not too badly. I was quite surprised to find that on a lot of negatives where I could see visible water lines on the negative, there was no visible effect on the resulting digital photo! I am very pleased. It was also very user-friendly.

Fun To Use
By DeeDee
from Ellenwood, GA
I'm mainly using it to convert old slides to JPEg. The instructions were confusing at first; but after reading them again, I was able to put the unit together and began adding slides. It required the use of an SD card which was not included in the package. Luckily, I had one. I think you should include everything the unit needs to function in the package.

Fantastic Machine!!
By Butte Bill
from Butte, Montana
This is the only machine I have seen that can transfer my slides to my computer. Some of my slides are over 50 years old, but we rarely have looked at them because of all the hassle of setting up the slide projector. and then waiting until it was dark enough to show them (which is almost midnight in the summer here in Montana). This is very easy to use, does a GREAT job of taking the pictures, and then has several neat features to help edit them. I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to transfer slides.

Superior Slide and Negative Converter
By old time photographer
from baltimore md
The main issue with this product is the apparent cheapness of its construction. It could be truly "superior" by using a heavier and more durable plastic. The viewing window needs to be larger and on top as a flip-up window. Also, it needs more intuitive usage buttons on top, with the icons in white for better visibility.A smoother tracking for the trays would also help. On the other hand,the quality of the digitizing is better than I had heard.

Bringing back memories

I have so many different sizes of negatives and this gives me the opportunity to look at, save and print the ones I want. Some are over 50 years old. This is the best purchase I have made that was worth the money.

Lack of sleep can fry 25% of brain cells
(NEWSER) – A lack of shut-eye may not just leave you feeling groggy—it could seriously injure your brain. A new study of mice has found 25% of brain cells died off after prolonged sleep loss, meant to duplicate night shifts or long hours at the office—the first evidence of its kind and a scary find if it applies to humans. "We now have evidence that sleep loss can lead to irreversible injury," a researcher told the BBC, noting that when the mice lost a little sleep, they were protected by an energizing protein, but brain cells began to die off when sleep loss became a habit. "This suggests to us that we are going to have to look very carefully in humans."

Cops Taser Stepdad Trying to Save Son From Fire
(NEWSER) – The outraged family of a stepfather Tasered as he tried to save his son from a house fire is considering suing the town of Louisiana, Missouri. Officers used the stun gun on Ryan Miller after he kicked in a front door and tried to enter the burning residence to rescue 3-year-old Riley, the AP reports. The city administrator says officers tried to restrain Miller after he became combative, while a relative says Miller was Tasered three times—including twice after he had been handcuffed. After he was pulled back, a firefighter in full gear tried to enter the home but was forced back by the heat.

Eric Cantor's primary loss is a political earthquake. And it's awful
Here's the thing: Eric Cantor did not fall asleep in this race. He spent around $5 million. He ran lots of TV ads. He knew this was going to be a close one. He campaigned. And he still got creamed.
And here's the other thing: Cantor was not an enemy of the Tea Party. He was in fact the Tea Party's guy in the leadership for much of the Barack Obama era. He carried the tea into the speaker's office. And still he got creamed.
Creamed! Has a party leader ever lost a primary like this? Stop and take this in. Like any political journalist, I'm a little bit of a historian of this sort of thing, although I readily admit my knowledge isn't encyclopedic. But I sure can't think of anything. Tom Foley, the Democratic House speaker in the early 1990s, lost reelection while he was speaker, but that was in the general, to a Republican, which is a whole different ballgame. And he was the first sitting speaker to lose an election since…get this…1862! But a primary? The No. 2 man in the House, losing a primary?
So what happened here? Obviously, first, it's about immigration. That was David Brat's (that's the guy who won) whole campaign: Cantor was a liberal who supported a path to citizenship for the swarthy illegals. (He didn't say that, of course, at least the swarthy part.) Immigration reform is D-E-A-D. There is no chance the House will touch it. That means it's dead for this Congress, which means that next Congress, the Senate would have to take the lead in passing it again. (The Senate's passage of the current bill expires when this Congress ends.) And the Senate isn't going to touch it in the next Congress, even if the Democrats hold on to the majority. Those handful of Republicans who backed reform last year will be terrified to do so. And it's difficult to say when immigration reform might have another shot. Maybe the first two years of President Clinton's second term. Maybe.

Selena Gomez bails on interview over Justin Bieber questions
Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Selena Gomez is apparently selective about discussing Justin Bieber.
While doing a satellite media tour on Monday ― her 21st birthday ― to promote her upcoming Stars Dance Tour, Gomez was probed about her off-again/on-again boyfriend Justin Bieber's recent bad-boy behavior, and apparently it wasn't a topic she felt like discussing: The interview came to a shrieking halt.
WGN-TV entertainment critic Dean Richards was among the outlets talking to Gomez during her media blitz. "You're, you know, probably as close a friend to Justin Bieber as they come," he said. "Is there something about him that we don't get or we don't understand? I mean, there is one story after another of, you know, pretty outrageous behavior that we're reading about."
At first the "Come & Get It" singer looked down uncomfortably ― almost as if she were wishing away the awkward situation ― and then she smiled to someone off-camera. Despite Gomez's obvious hesitation, Richards pressed on, following with, "What don't we get about him or what is it that he's not getting out there?"
But before giving any insight into life with the 19-year-old Bieber ― which Gomez opened up about the night before during her interview with Ryan Seacrest (she claims she's single despite the recent Instagrams of the two) ― the feed was suddenly terminated and the "Spring Breakers" star's pretty pout disappeared from the screen. Richards then sort of chuckled to himself as he realized the interview had been disconnected.
