FDR flirts with any woman who is not looking for permanent while Tuck has done the whole black-tie-and-white-gown shebang. Tuck wants the kind of love that is still true even after 50 years which prompts him to join a dating site where he meets the girl he thinks he could find this with. Around the same time, FDR meets a girl who he cannot charm. It isn't long after that they decide to show each other their girl's photo. Turns out, it's a snapshot of the same girl. Little did the friends know that the girl they are dating is the one girl neither can get out of their head.
Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) is a consumer product tester. A week ago she was a pathetic 30-something woman without a man after she moved to the west coast for a guy and now she has two men vying for her affections. Is it possible to love two people, she wonders. Tuck is the more kind-hearted romantic; he makes Lauren feel safe and is easy to talk with – plus he has a British accent. Then there is FDR. Sparks immediately fly between her and the arrogant FDR, but she is not impressed. This sets into motion a spy vs. spy rivalry that may just get messy.
FILM REVIEW | Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005)
As an actress, I like Witherspoon – a great deal. I think she has a cute girl-next-door personality that usually works in her favor in each role. Unfortunately that doesn't completely save her in this particular situation because we are a bit ticked off at her for playing two guys against each other (albeit, unknowingly). Many critics were disgusted with this high-tech action flick for not just the idea that a woman was dating two men (admittedly that conjures up a lot of unpleasant connotations – and says to me that society still has some scruples), but also that those two men would fight over her. I don't have as difficult a time with this for a couple of reasons, one being I don't take this any more serious that I believe its script meant it to be.
Having sufficiently given appropriate space to the potential cons and flaws in the film, I'll just come out and admit it: I loved this movie. It was classier than I had pegged it as being and there was some restraint used where I expected it not to be. Like its peers, this one has a lot of baggage in the character's backgrounds, which is what gives everyone more character. I felt like the film took the time it needed to be both a fun spy movie (in a way that blissfully doesn't take itself too seriously), and also gives in to what it really is, which is a cute romantic-comedy (even if it isn't dripping with chemistry). If you can watch this through a perspective in which you don't objectify it by all its shoddy qualities, then This Means War is a great deal of fun.
For anyone not a fan of the cliché love triangle, that is one element made very obvious. It's an important part of the script, and even still, this provided me with what I needed; some hearty laughs. There are clarifying moments that make us momentarily proud of Hollywood for recognizing the sanctity of true love and marriage, but there is always something around the next corner that seems to shatter that beauty. Bottom line, will I see this again? You bet. This Means War is definitely a more-than-once title that combined all of my favorite genres.
What are some of your favorite Reese Witherspoon films?
CONTENT: Lauren sleeps with both men [one scene shows her straddling him in nothing but her underwear and him in a state of undress – he is also lying in her bed the following morning]. Countless sexual references pepper the dialogue – including sexual references to the anatomy. Implications suggest CIA agents watch the security tapes of Lauren on her dates under orders to do so from both Tuck and FDR. Profanity includes one f-word, sh*t, a**, da*n, b*tch among others. There is plenty of immodest clothing and implications that FDR engages in multiple one-night stands. Opening the movie, one scene sees multiple men shot and killed [one falls off a skyscraper to his death]; one other scene climaxes in a car chase with gun fire and bullets flying. Characters drink alcohol. The film is rated PG13.

These Are The Best Cannabis Strains For Diabetes
Early evidence suggests that cannabis may be beneficial for both the autoimmune and type 2 diabetes. These seven strains are a good place to start.
Medical cannabis is more available than ever before. While many may not think of the herb as their go-to treatment for diabetes, early evidence suggests that the herb may be beneficial for both the autoimmune and type 2 diabetes. But, what are the best cannabis strains for the condition? Here's how to find the perfect strain for diabetes and seven new flowers to try.
Cannabis strains for diabetes
There are a few ways in which cannabis may help with diabetes. First, the herb may help with certain symptoms of the disease, such as neuropathy, nausea, and vomiting. Secondly, early studies suggest that the certain compounds in the herb may improve insulin resistance and reduce fasting glucose.
The primary psychoactive in the herb, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may ease pain and discomfort. However, cannabidiol (CBD) and a lesser known cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), have both shown anti-diabetic properties. Here are seven cannabis strains that may be useful for medical cannabis patients with diabetes:
1. Harlequin
Harlequin is a high-CBD sativa with a with a 5 to 2 ratio of CBD to THC. Early animal research suggests that CBD may be beneficial for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
An experiment published in 2008 found that the cannabinoid may prevent the onset of autoimmune diabetes in mice. Other research has shown that the compound significantly reduced cholesterol in human patients at doses of 100 milligrams twice daily.
Unlike high-THC strains, Harlequin will not cause a psychoactive high. Rather, this bud promotes relaxation, eases pain, and provides an overall positive sense of well-being.
2. Doug's Varin
This sativa may be a tricky flower to find. While it is sometimes available in California, Doug's Varin is a strain bred to contain high levels of THCV.
THCV is a mildly psychoactive cannabis strain with a host of promising health benefits. In a study of 62 diabetic patients, scientists found that THCV treatment successfully improved fasting insulin levels and reduced blood glucose.
Doug's Varin contains both THC and THCV. In fact, a test performed by Steep Hill Labs back in 2014 found that this bud contained about 19 percent THC and 15 percent THCV. That means this is one potent bud. Doug's Varin is thought to have a zippy, energetic high that's perfect for daytime consumption.
3. Sour Tsunami
All medical cannabis patients have a different experience with the plant. However, Sour Tsunami is a great strain candidate for those experiencing pain or those hoping for something less likely to cause a bad case of the munchies. Sour Tsunami is a one-to-one strain, meaning that it typically contains a fairly even ratio of THC to CBD.
Consumers can expect an easy, daytime experience from Sour Tsu. While samples higher in THC will have more of a psychoactive effect, this bud does not tend to produce much of a mind-bending experience. Instead, it provides an upbeat experience with a calm body sensation. Pick up this bud when you need to focus.
4. Cannatonic
Cannatonic is another high-CBD strain. While strains high in THCV can be difficult to find, most access points now carry at least some form of CBD product.
Cannatonic is a powerful choice, as the CBD levels in this strain often reach 17 percent. This strain is considered a hybrid and it does not provide a psychoactive high. Instead, Cannatonic promotes an easygoing alertness.
5. Black Beauty
Black Beauty is another rarity. However, based on the small amount of research available, this strain is a great match for patients with diabetes. At this time, this flower produces a 2:1 THC to THCV ratio. However, breeders hope to play up this strain's ability to also produce decent amounts of CBD.
With strong anti-inflammatory properties and the possible ability to improve insulin sensitivity, THCV and CBD are the two cannabinoids that have shown the most promise in diabetes.
6. Pennywise
Bred by the legendary TGA Subcool Seeds, Pennywise is a popular CBD strain. This indica flower produces a one-to-one ratio of THC to CBD, making it relaxing, mild, and effective.
This bud would be great to use in a batch of homemade medical cannabis oil. While this strain is not couch-locking like a high-THC indica, this bud does tend to inspire a tranquil mood.
7. Northern Lights
Though THC is famous for inspiring a bad case of the munchies, many medical cannabis patients prefer high-THC buds for pain and stress management.
Northern Lights is an easy to find and super popular indica. This bud is beloved as a euphoric yet gentle sleep aid and powerful pain reliever. Expect THC contents of 18 percent in this bud. Most will want to save Northern Lights for nighttime consumption.

Reality Check: Could health insurance be more affordable than you think?
Open enrollment for 2018 health care plans bought through the Affordable Care Act marketplace runs through Dec. 15. The Senate's recently passed tax bill eliminates the requirement for most individuals to have health insurance, but right now the ACA is still the law. That means most must get insurance or pay a penalty.
The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates there are still 10.7 million Americans without insurance who are eligible to buy plans in the ACA marketplace. For 54 percent of those people, KFF reports, health insurance premiums would be cheaper than paying the penalty. A local man recently learned this.
Wesley Grooms grew up in Waynesville, spends a lot of time in Asheville, but currently lives in a quiet part of Iredell County.
"I train three or four dogs a day," explained Grooms.
He trains hunting dogs.
"I'm out here in 200 acres, by myself, training these dogs. Anything can happen any time," Grooms said.
Thinking about what could happen for the last five years made him stress.
"I haven't had any insurance since I was out of the newspaper business," said Grooms.
He heard so many things, he didn't think health insurance would be affordable.
"I think most people right now are suffering a lot of anxiety about health care," he said.
Grooms made an appointment with Pisgah Legal Services and learned his options.
"Our goal is to help them understand what are their health care needs and what plans meet their budget," said Jackie Kiger, a managing attorney with Pisgah Legal.
If you've heard about premiums rising, Kiger explains that doesn't necessarily mean you'll pay more.
"It won't necessarily impact their cost per month for that monthly premium, because the tax credits subsidy also adjusts and it rises," said Kiger.
After an hour at Pisgah Legal, Grooms had a health insurance plan.
"I won't have to pay anything based on income," said Grooms.
He says he's paid the penalty at least once for not having health insurance. Now, he'll have health insurance and not have to worry about the penalty.
"I was completely relieved. I haven't felt that good as far as health care goes in five years," said Grooms.
According to a CDC estimate from November, 11 percent of North Carolinians are uninsured. Grooms, a former publisher, now wants to publish a message to the 11 percent.
"The worst mistake they could make right now is not go. That was my mistake, because I just didn't think it was possible. Anybody out there right now that doesn't have insurance, and you're in Buncombe County, go see those people," he said of Pisgah Legal.
In 60 minutes you can get 365 days of coverage. People can make appointments six days a week at Pisgah Legal. You can schedule an appointment online and by calling 1-855-733-3711.

Her requirements were pretty basic:
- Simple, colorful, recognizable ocean creatures
- Made of felt
- Friendly faces
- No obvious predator/prey issues amongst the creatures
- No recognizable characters (like Nemo or Dory)
Trevor and I got to work making critters and habitat. I've been helping my mom prep preschool stuff for a good 36 years or so. It's fun that Trevor is now helping her all those years later.
Trevor and I cut these freehand from felt, then used a Sharpie to add the faces. They'll stick to the blue felt board on their own. Any ideas for underwater creatures or habitat that we should add?

Should Marijuana be legalized by the federal government?
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|2 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|651 times
|Debate No:
No new arguments in 5th round, just conclusion of points.
I accept. Could you define "legalized"?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com...). Colorado alone made 53 Million last year that they are now putting into children's education(http://money.cnn.com...). Besides this though, it would allow the federal government to reevaluate the phony drug war that has costed tax payers 15 billion in 2010. By eliminating weed from their focus, which is the majority of the arrests. They can focus on stopping serious drugs like cocaine from crossing our borders. Nearly half of all drug related arrests were for marijuana, and 88% of those were simply possession, and not distribution. By decriminalizing marijuana we could release 620k citizens back onto the streets, decluttering jails and leaving room for actual criminals who need to be rehabilitated. (http://www.drugpolicy.org...)
Contention 1: Economic costs
I will split this into two points.
My opponent will obviously bring up some sort of economic point about taxing marijuana. This is a problem as when we legalize marijuana, we see decreases in employment, which outweigh any government revenue due to the fact that lives outweigh government revenue. First, we will observe the National Bureau of Economic Research where it is stated that when legalized for medical purposes, on average, the rate of people on marijuana will increase by approximately 12%. I will also confirm this with a real life model. According to CNBC in 2010, when marijuana was legalized in Alaska, teen marijuana use jumped to twice the national average. With this in mind, we must realize that marijuana use will increase. What I am driving at, however, is the direct link to that of the workplace. If we were to look at the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, marijuana reduces job prospects and is also one of the most popular drug purchased and used illegally. However, we see a direct link between unemployment and usage of marijuana. This link is explored by Al Jazeera in 2013 where it is shown that 1/6 people who are unemployed abuse alcohol or drugs. This is explored further by the St. Louis Federal Bank as well when it is shown that those who suffer from drug addiction are most likely addicted to drugs.
Marijuana is a dangerous drug to human health. If we were to look at USA Today in 2014, we would be observing the fact that from 1995 to 2013, the potency of THC within marijuana had increased from 3.75% to 12.98%. This general trend is important, because there are permanent damages that can occur from ingesting marijuana. If we turn look at USA Today yet again, we can see that there were over 450,000 emergency visits stemming from marijuana. Not only is this a harm to people, this is also a harm to our economy. If we were to look at the previously mentioned National Bureau of Economic Research, we would see the following
"The authors note that the 6 to 9 percent increase in frequency of adult binge drinking, along with an estimated increase in the probability of simultaneous use of marijuana and alcohol of 15 to 22 percent, suggests that legalization could result in "considerable economic and social costs from downstream health care expenditures and productivity loss."
This is important considering the price of health care already to the everyday consumer. In fact, according to CNS News, the Obamacare program starts taxes on those regardless if they have an Obamacare plan or not to cover the healthcare costs for those who cannot afford it. This increase in rushes to the emergency room and chronic harms that come from the use of marijuana will definitely spike the cost of healthcare. In fact, the symptoms listed on WebMD showcase some of the permanent effects of marijuana consumption, including heart problems and may lead to a heart attack due to an increased heart rate.
Contention 2: Lives
When we look at the debate, we can surely see the economic harms of legalization. However, we also need to look toward the obvious harms to the person addicted. I have already proven the fact that by passing today's resolution we see increased amounts of people using marijuana. However, let us look at the statistics again. The National Bureau of Economic Research has shown that the percentage of users increased by over 10% when marijuana was legalized for medical use. However, what would happen if it were legal completely? We would be seeing huge amounts of people trying out marijuana as well. With this fact in mind, we need to see the health risks in more detail. Sure, I have already mentioned heart attacks as a problem which many face due to marijuana, but how prevalent is this in the status quo? Well, according to ABC News in 2015, we can see the following quote
"A new study from Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School says marijuana increases the risk of having a heart attack within the first hour of smoking to five times that of non-smokers."
This is the severity of the problem in one, concise sentence. We cannot be harming the American people in this manner. However, this goes deeper. If we were to make marijuana more available, we would be disproportionately harming the poor. My opponent may bring up the decrease in marijuana use for the middle class, but this is not so for the lower class. If were to look at Dual Diagnosis, we would be able to see the following:
"In essence, the risk factors that predispose people to substance abuse and addiction are more prevalent in lower economic areas and families than in others."
Of course this is not to say that all poor families do drugs or even more poor families use marijuana, simply that if one is not predisposed to the education and forethought necessary, and if you live in a more impoverished home, the chances are not in your favor as far as addiction to marijuana. With this, we see that impoverished families will be hit hardest due to increased availability of marijuana. We need to weigh the lives of the people in the debate and negate.
Contention 3: Counter plan
My opponent has the best intentions by proposing today's resolution, however with all of the harms mentioned we need to look toward a different solution. Instead of legalizing marijuana use, we need to decriminalize it by making sure that those who do get arrested receive shortened sentences and drug therapy which would be proven effective on the prison population. The price of treatment is not only far lower than incarceration at a measly $4,700 as opposed to the $20,000 price for incarceration, but it would prove to be effective as shown by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. According to News Briefs, there are clear signs that treatment is the best option as shown by the following:
"Drug treatment can cut crime by 80%, said Brown University addiction director Norman Hoffman. Brown researcher Craig Love studied female substance abusers who were in jail, and found that 25% who underwent treatment were later rearrested, compared to 62% of those released without substance abuse treatment who were rearrested."
What can clearly be seen from this is the direct effect of therapy on the imprisoned population for those addicted to drugs. Remember, many people can't afford the treatment, so my counterplan also involves expanding treatment programs to the prison population.
Rebuttal time
Rebuttal 1: Similarity to alcohol and smoking
I concede the fact that there are inherent similarities between marijuana and alcohol, but we need to look at the debate and realize that marijuana is popular among the lower class and will continue to grow in popularity if we do not address it effectively.
Rebuttal 2: Costly
Yet again, I agree with my opponent that the war on drugs was a waste. But complete legalization is not the way to go either. Instead, we should use my counter plan which would prevent economic loss from decreased employment and the harm on people's lives through legalizing marijuana.
a: employment: obviously if marijuana is legalized it will see an increase in use, I have read the Al Jazeera story on this, but it does not say what substances it made its conclusions on, it simply says alcohol and substance abuse, and in fact it stated alcohol was the most widespread of the substances used, so this story does share any insight on marijuana use specifically, rather substance abuse which includes things like cocaine and heroine. And in the same study done by St. Louis Federal Bank it was concluded by economists Alejandro Badel and Brian Greaney that the use of marijuana was more an effect of unemployment, not a cause because when unemployment rose from 5% to 10% there was no change in the use of marijuana.
b: health care: "The most common reason someone goes to the ER for a marijuana reaction is anxiety," says Dr. Larry Bedard, former president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Anxiety is a symptom from people who are first experiencing the drug and do not understand the natural side effects. This number will go down as more people experience it. Another cause is addressed by Dr. Andrew Monte, who did a study with Northwestern Medicine said that it is this increase in potency that you addressed that is causing the hospital visits, meaning that they used too much, another symptom that will result in less ER visits as people become educated on using marijuana safely.
Lives: the odds of a having a heart attack go back down to the normal risk 3 hours after consumption. But I will concede to a label on the packaging warning people who have a higher chance of heart attack to avoid consumption absolutely, but to most adults marijuana would prove little risk as their risk for heart attack is already so low. Now again when you mention Dual Diagnosis is this data is not reliable as it refers to substance abuse in general, this debate is not decriminalizing substance abuse, just on marijuana, and most of your data appears to be on substance abuse in general.Marijuana is also far less addictive than other substances, a study done by the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that 30% of users found some sort of use disorder, which is only considered addiction in rare cases.
Counter Plan: By decriminalizing it to say a fine it does not fix the concerns you share above. If you are willing to make it a fine and get people out of jail you are concluding that marijuana poses no harm to the individuals around a user, proving no need for rehabilitation. And yet again this study done by Brown university focuses on substance abuse as a whole and does not analyze the specifics of marijuana.
Rebuttal to the Rebuttal
1) the whole point is that it poses minimal to no risk to individuals and it should be available for use by the working class and should be allowed to grow in popularity without restriction.
2) unemployment had no correlation with marijuana use, which was concluded from the St. Louis study you mentioned earlier. So by "treating" something that requires no treatment, it may be cheaper then incarceration, but is unnecessary and would still cost money. It would also not add any revenue that legalizing would from the tax charged on its sale.
Rebuttal 1: Employment
My opponent claims that my evidence is insufficient in supporting the fact that marijuana leads to unemployment. Regardless of my opponent's statement, le t us analyze what he is saying: that marijuana is the effect of unemployment. I will concede that some people did not become addicted to marijuana until they lost their job, but this is not what we need to focus on. We need to focus on the fact that the marijuana consumption did not go down. In an economic recession, people do not have the amount of money as before to spend on drugs. My St. Louis study has offered a few reasons why. One of them is the fact that many people who lost their jobs during the great succession already were addicted to drugs. The study finds that there was also a sampling error in previous studies which show the fact that while the sample in many studies included a large portion of the population, they did not account for the "new" unemployed people.
"The sample used in the survey may not have been representative of the national population of unemployed persons. Under a severe sampling error, it is possible that the survey did not sufficiently cover the "new" group of unemployed people that appeared during the Great Recession. We found some evidence that this hypothesis is at work by observing that the rise in the unemployment rate within the survey sample, although large, is smaller than the national rise during the Great Recession."
With the amount of people left uncovered in other studies, it is quite possible that large portions of people were left out of the national average which would have resulted in higher showings of marijuana use. So, remember, the fact that the figure representing the amount of people who used marijuana remained the same within the economic crisis as opposed to dropping like it should have, according to my St. Louis card, we can see increases in marijuana use.
Also, my opponent has stated that marijuana use does not decrease employment, it is simply is the result of unemployment. This is untrue according to my evidence which remains unrefuted. However, if my opponent is still unconvinced, I will support my claim with more evidence.
Forbes has stated the following in 2014:
"Drug abusers are more likely to become sick or injured, are less productive, can be more distracting to co-workers, have increased absenteeism, and can be a danger to themselves or others. Maintaining a drug-free workplace is important for the safety, health, and productivity of all employees."
USA Today in 2014 also states that marijuana leads to increases of fatal car crashes through citing a Columbia University study, which means employees on the road are at a higher risk of death, obviously getting rid of some employment due to the high chance of death.
Rebuttal 2: Health care costs
I understand that my opponent has stated that that the cost in health care will decrease once people know how to effectively use marijuana. This is a bare assertion not supported by evidence. For all we know, people will not be able to find the right dosage or the right way to use marijuana, if there is such a thing. Not only this, but if it were easy to moderate the use of marijuana, the amount of people ending up in the ER should not be increasing in number in the status quo. However, I have proven the fact that even using marijuana increases the chance for a heart attack exponentially within the first hour of use with my WebMD statistic. This is a risk no one should take. There are other permanent damages as many are finding links to lung problems with smoking marijuana. According to the American Lung Association, we see that there are clear signs of damage to the lung with smoking marijuana, which is the most common type of ingestion, through injuring cell linings in large airways, which can cause chronic bronchitis.
These diseases would cause the price of health care to rise for consumers in the form of taxes to pay for others care as well. The fact that your entire rebuttal is not only a theory but does not address the long term impact of using marijuana is also a problem. Thus, we negate.
Rebuttal 3: Lives
My opponent has stated that since after three hours the heart attack rate drops back to normal levels, it shouldn't be a problem. Considering the fact that for a long period of time the likeliness for heart attacks has increased substantially, it is not worth the risk. Regardless of whether the likeliness drops back to normal, the heart rate has still increased enough to cause potential heart attacks which have killed in the past. My ABC News report also said this:
"Mittleman and colleagues interviewed more than 3,880 men and women aged 20 to 92 who had suffered heart attacks to determine what activities were most likely to happen just before a heart attack, during a time frame the doctors call the "hazard period."
One-hundred-and-twenty-four subjects said they had smoked marijuana within the year before their heart attack"
This shows the real life impact of heart problems dealing with marijuana. Since lives are important in this debate, we must negate.
Rebuttal 4: Counter plan
No, I have stated the fact that marijuana is dangerous, but therapy is the best solution. The reason we decriminalize the drug is to prevent prison costs and look toward the bigger issue at hand, which is the addiction to begin with as well as the drug abuse which leads to life threatening changes to occur in the body. Also, the Brown University study takes into account marijuana as well, meaning there is a correlation.
Rebuttal 5: Minimal to no risk
Let us get rid of the notion that there is little to no risk in using marijuana. The risks clearly exist. I have already proved the fact that increased risk for heart attacks and correlations with lung problems exist, however I will find some more.
Forbes in 2014 has shown links of marijuana to psychotic symptoms. Less attainment in school, changes within the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex, and even a mild linkage to schizophrenia.
These are not acute problems, these are huge problems that the American people simply can't moderate for themselves. In the end, therapy in the end will be the best possible solution to the problem of addiction to marijuana.
Rebuttal 6: No correlation to unemployment
I have already proved in my first response in this argument that this sentiment is false entirely. However, I will also show you the effect of marijuana on school achievement, which may lead to unemployment as well. USA Today in 2013 cites a study from the University of Maryland that shows the following
This means less people in classes getting job experience and an education, and more becoming unemployed.
With this in mind, I see nothing but a negative ballot.
Rebuttal 1: Abuse of drug
My opponent has misconstrued my argument thus far. What I said was that marijuana has harms to the human body that should mean it is continued to be illegalized. My citations clearly support this by showing how marijuana does this as well as other drugs. My citations clearly show the dangers of using marijuana recreationally. If you would like proof, here are the citations in question.
These links have a plethora of real harms specifically from marijuana which my opponent has failed to address. I have already shown the link to less achievement in school, heart attacks, and schizophrenia specifically linked to marijuana. My opponent is simply pulling at straws to suggest that my argument does not specifically address marijuana.
"The long term impact of marijuana is people taking less serious pain medication that has been proven to be addictive, as well as a boost to this country's income."
This is not supported from reality, I have shown the impacts of taking marijuana which outweigh any sort of decrease in serious pain medicine. I also must explain that people who are prescribed with such high intensity pain medication must have it prescribed from a doctor in a legal dosage.
"…and you cannot start citing student facts because I do not want it to be legal for children, I know the health risks associated when children use."
I can because when we increase availability of marijuana, more people, including children will be taking it. Also, symptoms do not change depending on your age. Marijuana is just as dangerous regardless of who is taking it. You have already conceded that by legalizing marijuana we would increase use in your first rebuttal.
"If this substance is no more dangerous than alcohol or smoking, there is no reason for it to be illegal at the federal level."
This is somewhat true, we should not keep the current system, and we need a plan. This plan was provided by me. However, we can't legalize it completely due to the harms on the general populous that I have shown.
Rebuttal 2: Question posed
My opponent asks the following
"If you really feel as though it should remain illegal. Tell us how it is worse than existing and legal substances like alcohol and tobacco products?"
Here is where I agree with my opponent. Marijuana is not any more dangerous than alcohol or smoking cigarettes. However, legalization is not the answer. I have already shown that the harms outweigh the pros. What we need to do is to give therapy to those with severe drug issues to cut back on costs as well as a fine to show that drugs are still dangerous. Complete legalization at one time will cause many problems as outlined by my previous case. However, I will also take a swing at the question asked.
It is not the fact that marijuana is worse than alcohol, it is the fact that it is raising in popularity and that complete legalization will result in more people using a harmful substance that cuts the private sector jobs and harms people.
Extend all points that are not mentioned in the final rebuttal. I would like to thank my opponent as we approach the end of the debate.
As we approach the end of the debate, I would like to thank my opponent for a wonderful debate.
On to my final statements!
Statement 1: Harms
My opponent has acknowledged the fact that marijuana is an inherent harm to humans. However, this was not my argument. My argument states that if we were to affirm the resolution in the status quo, we would see consequences. We have already observed large growth in the popularity of marijuana as well as the fact that marijuana is becoming more potent, as shown by my previous statistic from USA Today. This is going to negate the entire rebuttal that my opponent has tried to show due to the increasing danger of marijuana in the present. Instead, we need to adopt the idea that I have shown, which the counter plan was. This would limit use while decreasing costs.
"Nachos, steak, and many foods can lead to an increase in the chance of a heart attack, but the choice to eat those things is a personal one, and so should be using marijuana."
Comparing the effects of marijuana to nachos is not a link. What we are debating is not whether marijuana is harmful, but the overall effect on the US population, which my opponent has not done at this point. Thus, the burden of proof for my opponent is not reached.
Statement 2: Correlation
I have shown the effect of the legalization of marijuana with other statistics as well, but fine, I will explain this one. Yes, marijuana does increase unemployment as shown by the fact that the statistic I used showed no decrease in use once the financial crisis became big. What this shows is that the sample size is too small as pointed out by the St. Louis Federal Bank itself. Not only this, but I have shown with other statistics the connection to low achievement in school due to the marijuana's effect on the brain during development. This matters because once legalized, the drug would become more available for more people, including children. It has been the burden of proof for the pro side to show why this is wrong as well as to refute my argument involving the linkage to schizophrenia, and he has not upheld his burden.
With that, we end the debate, vote con!

Sustainable agriculture is not a luxury but a necessity – Dacian Ciolos.
Dacian Cioloş European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development spoke at the G20/Rio de Janeiro 21 June 2012 outlining why sustainable agriculture is so important and the need for CAP reform.
"I believe that food security and fighting poverty in countries confronted with these problems, depends a lot on their ability to develop a sustainable productivity. Yes, we have to use new technologies but new technologies cannot and will not replace our responsibilities regarding the life of people working in agriculture. New technologies will have to respect the free access of today's and tomorrow's farmers to healthy, renewable natural resources."
Why is sustainable agriculture so important?
- Farmers manage 40% of the land on our planet Earth. The link between agriculture and natural resources is unbreakable.
- For over 25% of the world's population, farming is the main source of income. It accounts for 65% of the jobs in developing countries.
- About 500 million smallholdings of less than 2 hectares provide a living and food for 2 billion people in Asia and in Africa.
Imagine what even a small gain of productivity multiplied by half a billion could mean for food security at global level.
With a steady increase of food demand, with already nearly one billion people undernourished, farmers have a difficult mission.
The natural resources are getting scarce; farming can make the difference: positive or negative…. As policy makers, we have the responsibility to offer farmers solutions and support for sustainable agriculture.
Cioloş said he believed that sustainable farming can make a positive difference.

Recent Examples of transfiguration from the Web
However, The Crimes of Grindelwald takes place in 1927 when Dumbledore—who is played by Jude Law in the movie—was still Hogwarts' transfiguration professor and not yet its headmaster, meaning the school may have been bound by different magical laws.
There's been no word yet about whether the plans for Jeffries' transfiguration were generated before or after Bowie's death, or whether Bowie knew about them.
On high, God the father points to Jesus, who points to Moses and Elijah, and at whose feet sit the three apostles overwhelmed by his transfiguration into light.
A world without Roe is a world where the fate of a woman's body — its red fleshy insides, its tubes and its fluids, its unruly growths and wild transfigurations — is decided upon by cabals of men in the cold, marble halls of statehouses.
Don't forget, Sagittarius, sometimes the right path is the difficult path, and by the middle of the week, you be forced to choose between transfiguration and stability.

Did You Know?
The Gospels relate that one day Jesus took three disciples up a mountain, where they witnessed his transfiguration into divine form: his face shone like the sun, his garments became brilliantly white, and a voice from heaven proclaimed that this was the son of God. Transfiguration was first used in English as the name of this biblical event, and the Feast of the Transfiguration remains the name of a holy day. So the word has always kept a somewhat religious—and almost always positive—tone. A face may be transfigured by joy, and an "ugly duckling" may be slowly transfigured into a radiant beauty. And as Harry Potter fans know, transfiguration is a subject long taught at the Hogwarts School by Minerva McGonagall.

Any gay worth their weight in bumming will know the script to Clueless aggressive top to lazy bottom, and right back again. Not since Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, Valley of the Dolls, Grey Gardens, In Bed With Madonna, All About Eve, Some Like It Hot, anything with Joan Crawford in it, Smashing Time and Diana Ross is Mahogany had a film so brilliantly penetrated the gay consciousness/provided us with a daily script for our glittering lives. Why, only yesterday we feigned a mugging in Islington, lay prostrate on the hard ground and insisted the miscreant pointed his designer-imposter gun at our head just so we could protest, 'It's an Alaia!' You can't just hang around waiting for things to happen…!
And now, writer/director Amy Heckerling has announced she is working on a musical version of our second favourite film of all time. We'd say it was our first favourite film of all time but you'll only judge.
'I'm working with Kristin Hanggi, who directed Rock of Ages. I want it to be a jukebox musical. There's a lot of songs that could work there, like 'Fantastic Voyage,' with its 'slide, slide, slippity slide'. A lot of things that could lead to you getting conked. We used 'Kids in America' in Clueless, but it was one of the songs I was considering for Fast Times, before I knew if I could get the Go-Gos.'
Then there's Rolling With The Homies, anything by Billie 'I love him!' Holiday, I'm Gonna Be A Supermodel, and the jingle to Mentos Mints. We think we might have to send ourselves gifts to celebrate.
ps. It does not say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty!

Review for MAFIAAFire Redirector by Otto de Voogd
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Congrats on the free publicity from DHS! I had nearly forgotten about this addon until this news came out.
And of course congrats to Mozilla for keeping their back straight.
Haven't actually used this addon (don't really need it), the 5 stars are for effort and having the guts to stand up against domain name seizure abuse by DHS and the MAFIAA.
Thanks for the review!
Couldn't agree with you more, Mozilla f****ng rocks!!!
They said they support freedom of the internet and those were not just PR words, they meant it.

The probability plot for standardized residuals combines the data so that only one fitted line is calculated. With only one fitted line, you can more easily determine whether the plotted points follow the fitted line closely. In contrast, the probability plot that is based on the fitted model may have multiple fitted lines, with one line for each accelerating level. As a result, each line may have only a limited number of plotted points, and the plot may suggest violations of the assumptions due to only one or two inconsistent observations.
For the electronic device data, the plotted points follow the fitted line closely and thus provide more evidence that the model is appropriate for the accelerating levels.

When legendary soprano Patricia Racette, currently starring at the Met in Pagliacci, called and asked if I would like to produce her new CD, I had to pinch myself. Read composer/producer Glen Roven's full article!
December 31, 2014
Bring in 2015 with DIVA ON DETOUR as Pat brings her cabaret LIVE to the Tobin Center just days before unveiling her first staged SALOME! Don't miss it!
Vocal Arts Society Recital | Washington Post
"But the true revelations came during the second half, when Racette recalibrated her voice to a lower-seated, microphone-friendly pop sound, with high notes taken in an easy belt. Her unbuttoned performances of "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" and "Mon Dieu" were knockouts. And her introspective, gently swung renditions of "Here's That Rainy Day," "Guess Who I Saw Today" and "Not a Day Goes By" were so magnetic, so naturally inside the style, she left other opera singers' stiff-backed attempts at this repertoire in the dust.
One can imagine Racette someday leaving opera behind (as Eileen Farrell famously did) to pursue jazz singing. Even now (with proper husbanding of her voice), this singer — and her splendidly versatile pianist, Craig Terry — should be booking club dates and recording the Great American Songbook. She needs to be heard in this material."
Joe Banno | Washington Post | April 11, 2010
Vocal Arts Society Recital | Washington D.C.
"She can deploy her complex tone, thick with vibrato and other colors like the tannins in a potent red wine, to pack an emotional punch that can knock out the listener with its urgency. It was clear from her stage presence that she understood and has considered the words of the songs she sang, but she always stopped short of grossly emoting, making for a deeply satisfying performance."

"Ms. Racette uses the restricted dimensions of cabaret style wholeheartedly but with discretion, and the aura of opera stardom that she adds to this different world fits well into Carnegie Hall's broad cultural survey called Berlin in Lights, now in full swing around the city."

This is definitely for those who love peace and quiet and the isolation of this part of the south coast. From here the tracks wind there way around from beach to beach and are dotted with tavernas serving local fresh fish and traditional Cretan cuisine. It is approximately 3km to the village of Kerames where there is several kafenion and tavernas. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for exploring the area. Kerames is one of just a few traditional villages that nestle into the mountainside along the south coast of Crete between Agia Galini and Plakias. This area is renowned for its stunning beauty, unspoilt coastline and numerous quiet yet picturesque beaches. This whole area is slowly becoming popular for holiday/second homes, especially for those who prefer the more traditional Cretan countryside and a peaceful location close to the beach. 25 minutes to Spili, 2 hours Heraklion/Hania airports.

Spatial memory is the part of the memory that is responsible for recording the environment and one's spatial awareness to it. Spatial memory is required for finding ones way around a city or a familiar location, for example. These are often referred to as your cognitive map and are represented in working, short and long-term memory.
Furthermore, ACETYL-L-CARNITINE has been shown to improve mood, cognition and improve attention in a large number of studies. There are references to Alcar being effective for detoxification, possessing neuroprotective properties and stating that, "Acetyl-L-carnitine improves cognition in the brain, significantly reversed age-associated decline in mitochondrial membrane potential and improved ambulatory activity."
Another two studies found Acetyl-L-Carnitine to be an effective cognitive and memory enhancer.
There are also findings that Alcar is capable of offering neurotherapeutic benefits to its users as well as reducing the symptoms of male aging, nameley improving mood and reducing fatigue.
Many similar studies concluded with the same results.
ACETYL-L-CARNITINE is vital for the transport of fatty acids during the process of creating metabolic energy. In other words, it facilitates the process of breaking down fat stores for energy, and so it can be helpful during exercise and dieting.
Dosage: We recommend you take 1 Capsule 500mg 1 - 3 times per day. Ideally, use in conjunction with an active nootropic compound.

The other eight bottles, similarly wrapped in newspaper, were fine, so I took Lucy at her word and went ahead and swatched them on a nail wheel. (Just her luck that I didn't have any of these in my stash already so was very curious about them.) Starting with the bright pink and moving clockwise (do people still know what direction that is?), there's Chunky Holo Candy, Chunky Holo Poppy, Chunky Holo Fuchsia, Chunky Holo Scarlet, Chunky Holo Clover, Chunky Holo Teal, Chunky Holo Bluebell, and Chunky Holo Black, followed by each of the colors in the same order layered over black, followed by Poppy over silver (OPI Her Royal Shine-ness) and Teal over silver, and finally Fuchsia over bright pink (Borghese Rapido Maraschino) and Black over bright pink.
Most of the colors are sheer; on the first eight nail tips, I used three coats of all but Scarlet, which was two. Over the black, I used one coat of the Kleancolors. Over silver, three coats of Poppy and two coats of Teal. Over pink, one coat of Fuchsia and two of Black.
I was surprised to see how similar most of the colors looked over black; I guess they use the same glitter in all but Scarlet and Black (obviously that was different—it's actually chunky).
Over silver the reddish face of the glitter popped most, but the green glowed around the edges.
Unlike the silver, the bright pink was powerful enough on its that the Kleancolors only added a hint of their own base color to the combination.
None of these have topcoat, so you can see for glitters they're not bumpy at all (and they are glitters, not holos, as you've no doubt figured out by now).
I probably should have stopped there, since these weren't my polishes, after all, but I just couldn't resist playing a bit more. I mean, look here at Chunky Holo Black—how was I supposed to just pack up that bottle without seeing it on my nails? I am not that strong.
I decided OPI Jade Is the New Black would make a good base, so put on two coats of that, followed by two of Chunky Holo Black. Oh my, that sealed it—I am going to need to buy my own bottle of this Kleancolor. The combination reminded me of the glorious fall colors we're seeing on the trees around here now.
I had to take this outside to enjoy it there, too. I didn't have full sun that day, but it glowed nicely under the partly cloudy conditions, too, which is good, since I am most often not in full sun.
So yes, I definitely need to buy the Black. I'm thinking one of the others, too, probably Bluebell since it's my favorite base color of that group. If I didn't already have a lot of red glitters, I'd probably get Scarlet, too, but I do so I won't.
Thanks, Lucy for letting me try your pretties!
Reminder: there are just a few more days to enter my Halloween Harvest Giveaway.

International Overdose Awareness Day
RS EDEN partnered with the Steve Rummler Hope Foundation and others to support International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, 2016. The event was held in the courtyard of the US Federal Courthouse in downtown Minneapolis. Speakers at the event included US Attorney Andy Luger, US Senator Amy Klobuchar, MN Senator Christine Eaton, MN Representative Dave Baker, Lexi Reed Holtum (Executive Director Steve Rummler Hope Foundation) and community members impacted by the epidemic of addiction and overdose deaths.
Lexi Reed Holtum, Steve Rummler Hope Foundation Executive Director, said that the event's high-profile speakers send a signal that state and national leaders are taking the opioid addiction crisis seriously. "The number one reason why people are dying is because there is still a perception out there that, 'This is not going to happen to my family,'" Holtum said. "The reality is this a doctor-created epidemic. These deaths are happening in every single socioeconomic class in the country. It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are. It doesn't matter how educated you are. People are getting addicted and dying."
Job Opportunities
RS EDEN is an equal opportunity employer whose mission is to provide recovery, accountability, and support services facilitating individual, family, and community movement from non-productive behavior to responsible, self-sufficient lifestyles.

Priest of Chaos
Hello to the world.
This lazy day I give you people (and I say that in the most affectionate way, as in not: "YOU PEOPLE!" more like: "you people <3<3") an Illustration of my Empires Warrior priest and their duties.
Lines might be a bit blurred and sometimes hard to read (yes you can read lines)
But thats only because I decided I was not going to use and eraser on this image.
(which should explain why the guy in the foreground has a see trough back :P)
Anyways, my Priest have the splendid job of either locking up the mutated, sending them to war or killing them outright. Which I am sure is ever so entertaining.
But a necessary evil, after all I don't want to tree eyed chaps walking down the streets now would I? (Its just not good for the reputation you see.)
I seem to be ranting again.
Vinter will have a hard time following up an painting tomorrow? We will see!

Painting done!
I put up a little wip post on my other blog, you can find it HERE.
Today I'm planing to start a new painting. So wish me luck:P
Kyrie up tomorrow again, lets hope he had an awesome time in Denmark^^

Monday, 29 August 2011
So, okay, ever so slightly macabre today.
Hope you all do not mind.
First up we have a bottled hearth.
Then secondly we have some macabre humor.
Yes this post must be emo!
Sometimes I really do forget how lucky I am to have the ability to turn to a piece of paper and just fill it with whatever is bothering me.
Feel a bit guilty for uploading SO early, gives Vinter less frontpage time.
But I am leaving for Denmark in like 3 hours, so had no choice.
AND since this is such a downer post, I might upload an bonus upload if I manage to get one out just before I leave.
Winter will tomorrow have deer girl painting?!?
Sunday, 28 August 2011
Gabriel the Gruesome.
So this is him, or my interpretation/how I remember him, Grusomme Gabriel!
Tomorrow is PAINTING DAY!! I hope to get done with the deer girl painting then, which my friend have now been waiting for since late june:P Sorry, my day job took up a lot of my time:S
Kyrie brings kewl stuff tomorrow \o/
- Vinter
From the books
A little something something from the papers that are all over the place in my place...
(yes that was written unclear intentional)
I was going to do some real drawing stuff today, but failed miserably in that plan of action.
So in steed I took out a pile of whatever drawings I have like too many of.
Hopes you lot enjoy none the less.
I am O so sure Vinter will bedazzle tomorrow. (which is my normal lie, for it will indeed happen later today,)
Will now draw something half decent god dammit.
Friday, 26 August 2011
Moar thumbs!
Now, out to eat dinner with the family. It's my cousin's birthday today! Hurray for you!
SO, Kyrie up tomorrow again, while I slave away at my day job!
- Vinter
Jake and Tess
Just a couple characters.
Very steampunkian in wibe, which is the plan, but I also want to try and make steampunk "my own".
So lets see where that takes me.
Another want to color image, but the colors are just such a hazzle to get out.
bleh, me must color soon.
Jake lost his arm in a boiler accident, using a live parasite doctors where able to merge an mechanical arm to the joint.
Problem for poor old Jake though is that the arm needs a sizable amount of power, and is by no means made up of top of the line stuff.
So he has to carry his boiler with him.
Then theres Tess.
Tess is an angry girl, she uses that anger to keep people in check, and uneasy.
That way she knows what people she has the control over.
And since that seems to work out so well...
Well she doesn't see no real reason to stop being angry all the time.
In this image they are both working a bounty.
thats right.
Bounty is a big world.
Vinter will hopefully not fill my nightmares with dual wielding pipe women tomorrow.
Wednesday, 24 August 2011
Pipe Fighter...
Practising in PhotoShop so I can reach one of my goal for this year!
So thar yee goo...
Now I have to hurry up for work! Popping and Urge Intense on the way:P
Kyrie will bring you coloured awesomeness tomorrow, mayhaps!
- Vinter
I sorted socks today.
KK, so a part one image here today.
Want to color in the image, so I was not to comfy messing around with the pencil.
*so why did you not just color it then Kyrie?*
Well, you question asker you...
I sorted socks.
And it took like 1.5 hours.
Apparently I have socks.
Then I eat some food, food that has me so very very frightened.
(I was also very touched by the socks that had no match, to have an existence Solly dependent on having a match, then losing your match in the deadly struggle that is the washer.
Hard times man, hard times.)
Vinter will be back to work tomorrow.
May the holy Urge Intense inspire brilliance.
Kyrie wonders how chicken really tastes.
Monday, 22 August 2011
I drew this yesterday at work, while waiting for the guests to finish a speech so I could clean up the dirty dishes (I love my "day job"... not).
Tomorrow will be an eventful day of painting and drawing and Mario playing:)
Kyrie up next!
- Vinter
Yay for time to draw.
I've got several other drawings I could've shown as well but.
These tree will have to do.
First of is steampunk army babe.
With locks and googles (way importante)
I drew that one on the train ride home, actually managed a "o by the gods" from the next seat person.
That was cool, modest myself pretended my music was to loud, and proceeded to force myself to hear the same album over and over again for the next two hours.
Then theres a big eh, I really have no idea.
she's in a bedroom, and dieing... I think.
Lastly theres little miss big head, wanted to try drawing a really sort grown up.
Without it being childlike, not sure I succeed just looks big headed to my eyes but that might be the artist in me.
Vinter tomorrow!
Sunday, 21 August 2011
Leh tireeeed!
Now need sleeps.... to much work for one day... (I wish my "day" job wasn't so draining...)
Will update on the painting another time, when it's done, which it soon is..
Over and out for this time, Kyrie will save us all tomorrow when I go back to work in a few hours...
- Vinter
Friday, 19 August 2011

An early post.
Here's some girls, drawn while watching Game of Thrones. And don't be so hard on the dragon, I haven't done one in years:P
Now, time for me to draw some more so I have something to show on saturday^^
Kyrie up tomorrow! If I can find out what kind of file he's saved the image as:p
- Vinter
Ah, update time.
Spend 3 hours drawing, spend 2 hours getting a scanner to work.
And btw, my mom has a better computer then I do... Embarrassing.
Okay first up is a new facebook profile thingy.
Cant have the dreads pictures because, well I removed them for like a long time ago.
So Yay for autumn eye, artsy thingy.
Speaking of dreads, posted the other picture mainly because I am NOT happy with it, but I liked the way the dreads got highlighted, so I am going to do a picture with dreads while I am away, and I know now that the dreads will be awesome in that image.
As for whats wrong, well she's meant to be a deamonette, and well nose-less.
(and even though she's got no nose its still not centered)
Biggest mistake was trying to do her face with hard lighting, wanted to try avoiding soft lights, but meh!
OMG thats a lot of text.
Vinter, please post tomorrow (She was probably going to anyway, but I just felt like being nice about it)
Wednesday, 17 August 2011

Bounty one hand
Scarf from bounty, a little lazy on the background but hey gotta do justice to the blogs name.

Drakes home with a funky face!
KK, so big obviously influenced by guilt post.
First of, Drakes back!
Yaay, Drake would be my "bad-side" character.
Eminems got slim shady I've got Drake.
(that was typed just so you lot would get "guess who's back, back again" on you minds.)
Drakes basically a baby in a powerful sorcerers body.
He's got a necklace that sucks the blood of killed enemies and adds it to his stream of blood.
So basically he can't at this point in bounty die from bleeding out.
(because he's got like 100 persons worth of blood)
he's just my perfect writers plot device darling. If the story is stuck just have Drake do something stupid, fun or just plain weird.
I also did some watercoloring of a random blond, mostly because I am fascinated by how weird coloring blond hair really is. feel I did a good job on this one though, also lined her with some black inc, if anyone cares !
AND just to make this long post longer yet!
THE RULES OF MATS LIFE (because if I do not have them I'll rot in a corner somewhere)
1. Computer stays in music corner till 20.00
2. One Urge a day, two on a special event.
3. No Video games till 20.00
4. If bored, clean.
5. If bored and apartment looks like its been a training facility for maids, Draw.
6. Real food, then snacks.
7. Fruit and nuts, the new snack.
8. Never urge intense without a meal.
And I am sure the list will get bigger.
Vinter uploads tomorrow!

Late Night Skulls
My Vampires are really pretty much assembled.
Well need more zombies, but hey, who doesn't?
Tried drawing some Vampire concepts before ending up with this skull, but I guess I am not really sure what I imagine as a Vampire.
To much glitter has made me confused...
I feel attracted to the lahmia type Vampires, but honestly (not to sound crude) but prolly just the boobs.
So a courtly Strigi type Might be fun.
Questions questions.
Vinter will hopefully give this summer some sunshine tomorrow!
Kyrie will now be all zombie like and attempt sleep.
Thursday, 4 August 2011
Just a few sketches done from photos (except from the one in the middle, that's just a quick sketch from the top of my head). I tried to make my bf model for me, just to get some life drawing practice, but he was impossible and refused to sit still for five minutes... Silly boy:P
Next up: Kyrie

Tahini has to be one of my favorite condiments out there.
Besides olive oil.
And salt.
Ok, it comes in as a strong #3.
So what is tahini any way? It's simply sesame seed butter. They are typically hulled sesame seeds ground up to make the paste or butter consistency. I choose to roast mine and blend them with a touch of salt. It is a very similar process of making peanut butter, which is also a favorite of mine.
Why do I make it at home? Well, it is never at my "up the road" grocery store. Meaning, if I want it, I have to go to Whole Foods which is about 30 minutes away. I use it so often, it has become a staple in my pantry and a hassle if I need to make a special trip to get it. It also cost $7-9 for a jar. So there's that. One day, I ended up grabbing a bunch of seeds from the bulk bin, which is about $3 a pound, and came up with this simple solution. Plus, it really does taste so much better that the jar stuff.
Tahini is also has some great health benefits. It is full of minerals such as phosphorus, lecithin, magnesium, potassium and iron. It has lots of calcium and more protein than most nuts out there. I've also read it can aid in decreasing migraines and anemia.
Plus, it is so versatile. I use mine mainly in hummus and salad dressings, but it is amazing in stir fry, sauces, and even on toast. I've been dying to find time to make cookies with it too.
Homemade Tahini
Creamy, salty, sesame butter that can be used in everything from hummus to salad dressing.
- 3 cups sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds, 1 cups at a time, and slowly toast. Stir the seeds and keep an eye out to make sure they don't burn. Once toasted, transfer to a bowl to let them cool.Once all 3 cups are toasted and cooled, transferred seeds to a food processor. Add the salt and process on high or until you get a peanut butter like texture. This can take any where from 5-10 minutes.Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge.
Yield: 2 cups
