Trichomes are totally the grooviest and gooiest part of the cannabis plant. Trichomes are the resin glands of the pot plant which contain THC, CBD, and other active medicinal cannabinoids. Trichomes are literally the cream of the cannabis crop. Trichomes are the basis of the smokeless revolution in cannabis consumption which has saved the lives of countless medical marijuana users such as Charlotte Figi. Charlotte was cured from suffering over 300 seizures a week induced by Dravet syndrome with a tincture of trichomes from a CBD-rich strain of marijuana now known as Charlotte's Web named after the girl's miraculous recovery.
Extracting trichomes from the cannabis plant also preserves terpenes. Terpenes are the pungent oils that give the cannabis plant its distinct tastes and smells. Like the sweet, fruity taste of Pineapple Twist? That's the terpenes. Love the skunky smell of Sour Diesel? That's the terpenes. In fact, terpenes provide a wide range of tastes and smells including the more common citrus, berry, mint, and pine.
Terpenes also create an entourage of health benefits and help fully expose and express the ganja's unique aromatic and euphoric character. Additionally, and maybe most importantly, certain THC dominant strains of concentrated trichomes can get you really, really high! This is why trichomes are the basis of the thriving cannasseur celebrity subculture that has come to be known as dabbing.
So what's going on inside the gooey stuff on the ganja that's fueling the modern medical marijuana and recreational reefer revolutions? Let's find out.
A Little Trichome Talk
Source: https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/cannabis-anatomy-the-parts-of-the-plant
THC and other medicinal cannabinoids are only found inside the heads of three different types of trichomes:
- Bulbous
- Capitate sessile
- Capitate-stalked
Bulbous trichomes appear on the surface of the entire plant but are so small (10-15 micrometers or microns) that you won't see them without the aid of a microscope. For reference, the width of a human hair is 40-50 microns.
Capitate sessile trichomes are the next largest group. They are slightly larger than bulbous trichomes and are significantly more abundant. Capitate sessile trichomes start to take on the more familiar head-and-stalk shape.
Capitate-stalked trichomes are the most common of the bunch. They range in size from 50-100 microns which means they can be seen with the naked eye. Capitate-stalked trichomes are composed of a basal cell (stalk) topped off by a waxy gland head.
Scientists used to believe that essential cannabinoids such as THC were created in the calyxes, or green plant tissue, which serve as the womb from which the mushroom-shaped trichome glands grow. Scientists now observe that the trichomes themselves create the cannabinoids and terpenes. Yes, the trichomes grow from the body of the calyx, but it's the trichomes themselves that ultimately produce the cannabinoids.
The anatomy of the cannabis bud you typically smoke also contains pistils. These double strands of hair that grow out of the calyx material, catch cannabis pollen from male pot plants to facilitate reproduction and flower production.
Trichome is Greek for 'growth of hair'. Trichomes serve as the pot plant's phalanx of little shields responsible for the developing pot plant's triumphs against fungus and pesky pot-loving insects that would otherwise destroy entire crops of cannabis plants. Trichomes are also the "sunscreen" of growing marijuana plants. Trichomes protect it from the sun's ultraviolet rays as well as high wind and low humidity. Thick layers of sticky wet trichomes also help protect pot plants from hungry edible-loving animals such as rabbits and other rodents. That said, however, you'll need a proper fence to keep an edible-loving animal such as "Sugar Bob", the perpetually-stoned medical marijuana farm deer from Oregon, from munching on your personal marijuana stash!

How the Groovey Gooey Stuff Grows
Source: http://www.hightimes.com/read/anatomy-trichome
Trichomes have their own cycle of growth within the overall marijuana plant's lifecycle. The theory is that photosynthetic cannabinoid precursors are transported and transformed into THC, CBD, additional cannabinoids, and terpenes in the secretory vesicles of the trichome gland head as pictured above. Cannabinoids and terpenes accumulate between the outer cuticle of the trichome as the pot plant grow. The trichome gland head grows thicker and more bulbous as the secretory vesicles produce oil and push it towards the cuticle. The gland head eventually matures and falls off as the budding process nears completion.
If you're going to harvest your marijuana plant for its full THC or CBD effects, you DON'T want the trichomes to fall off. If that happens, that means that you let the plant grow too long. The majority of the cannabinoids are now gone, you won't enjoy the psychoactive or medicinal effects, and you'll have to start growing a new batch of marijuana.
If you're growing your own plants, keep an eye out for the following signs that your cannabis is nearing maturity. The gland heads of trichomes are typically clear or slightly amber at the beginning of the plant's growth cycle. Prior to harvest, when cannabinoid levels reach their maximum, the gland head will turn cloudy or opaque. But just because your plant is covered in trichomes and the gland heads are bursting with oil, your bud won't necessarily blast you off to the moon with THC. The trichome resin on your bud could also contain counter psychoactive CBD cannabinoids as well. The euphoric potency of the trichomes in cannabinoids is largely determined by the moment in time when the marijuana is harvested. You can tell the cannabinoids are reaching full maturity when the trichome gland heads go opaque. This is why many growers suggest harvesting the crop when half the trichomes on their plants are opaque in order to get the highest level of THC with the lowest level of CBD cannabinoids (which counteract the euphoric effects of THC). You could also try growing CBD-rich strains such as Charlotte's Web for a more sober medical stoned feeling.

The little hairs that grow from inside the calyxes or the pistils are another clue that help you determine when to harvest your cannabis for the specific kind of chemical properties you want it to contain. The color of the pistils changes from bright white to rusty orange or brown at the end of the plant's flowering phase. On one end of the spectrum, if you notice a higher ratio of white to red pistols, that means your pot will produce more of a euphoric THC high. On the other end of the spectrum, if you notice a higher ratio of red to white pistols, that means your pot will produce more of a sober, calm CBD stoned feeling. Squarely in between those two extremes, cannabis crops harvested in the middle of the flowering cycle when roughly half the trichome heads are opaque and the pistils aren't yet brown should produce a more balanced THC:CBD blend of cannabinoids.

Getting the Groovey Gooey Stuff off the Ganja!
Resin farming, the separation of the trichome resin from the rest of the pot plant into cannabis concentrates, is the underlying essence of modern medical marijuana advances as well as contemporary recreational reefer revolutions. Concentrates such as oil, shatter and wax are made by using pressurized butane oil as a solvent to separate trichome resin from the plant. Butane hash oil or BHO is the most controversial form of cannabis concentrates due to the fact that it isn't safe at all for amateurs to do at home. Professionally made BHO is however the most common cannabis concentrate on legal marijuana markets. It's the most common because it's the simplest, least labor-intensive method available. But the simplicity belies the dangers that reside there. First and foremost is the very high chance that the butane will explode—even a small spark is enough to set it off. Add to the combustion risks the fact that toxic butane molecules can remain in solution and eventually end up in your lungs, and you can see why BHO might not be your best option.

High-proof alcohol can be used instead of butane as a homemade solvent to safely and cheaply strip trichome resin from plants. Soaking plant matter in an alcohol like Everclear is another simple way to produce highly effective THC and CBD tinctures such as the one that saved Charlotte Figi's life. The simplest extraction method can take anywhere from 30-60 days to produce a viable tincture. But you can accelerate the process by adding cold or heat to the alcohol (which in itself can be dangerous because of alcohol's flammability). This can cut the production time down to two days, or even a matter of hours.

Ice water extraction is the preferred Honest Marijuana means of making cannabis concentrates. We chose this method because the process is safer, is more environmentally conscious, only uses ice water, and doesn't use any chemicals in the extraction process. This all-natural production method produces a high-THC bubble hash that is clean and refreshing with no chemical residue.

But concentrates aren't the only way you can enjoy the full effect of the cannabis plant's trichomes. With a three-chambered grinder (a must-have item for every stoner's stash box), you can collect and enjoy the raw, dry, very fine, powdery trichomes known as kief that naturally break away from the rest of your bud into the lower third of your grinder every time you use it. Be sure to keep and collect lots of kief to enjoy on a special occasion – or whenever your main supply runs out! Kief can be used in a variety of novel ways, from sprinkling it on food, mixing it into drinks, or adding it to your joints or bong bowl. Kief gives you all the wonderful cannabinoid benefits without taking up a lot of space.

Tasting The Trichomes!
If you have some really great ganja, you might be able to see the trichomes growing there. You can, and always should, examine the trichome resin on your marijuana with your eyes using a small, inexpensive, pocket-sized magnifying glass (another must for any serious cannaseur's stash box) before you consume it. You should get in the habit of scoping out your trichomes every time you score a new supply of marijuana in order to fully appreciate the full beauty of the trichome patterns. This examination also ensures that you don't have any bad bud infested with spider mite remains or with aspergillus mold.
The whole purpose of various vaporizing devices—which come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors—is to heat the pot plant material until the cannabinoids in the trichome resin heads melt and sublimate into vapor. This is thought to be safer than smoking (which requires burning) because the lower temperatures don't break down and recombine (oxidize) the molecules into new forms.
Once the trichomes have been transformed, this all-but-invisible trichome-rich vapor can then be inhaled into your lungs where it will be transferred into your bloodstream and then transported throughout your body. All this occurs without any combustion making this the ideal method for anyone who uses cannabis to treat symptoms of asthma…or for anyone who needs to discretely medicate in public. Vaporizer pens are all the rage these days and they can be used to vaporize trichome resin off the flower or in concentrated form as well.
Source: http://www.vapecritic.com/vaporizers/20-vapes/
Hash pipes can be made out of wood, metal or glass, and typically have a smaller bowl and are usually a bit longer than a typical pipe. This difference in size is in order to let the hash smoke cool down a bit more before it hits your lungs. That said, there's no single right way to smoke hash. It's whatever works best for you. You can smoke hash in any normal pipe meant for cannabis use…yes marijuana, not tobacco use just to be clear. It usually takes a bit more heat to combust concentrated hash than it does for cannabis flowers. Warming up your hash with a lighter before you fully ignite does wonders to activate the cannabinoids in the hash. You can also crumble or cut up hash pieces and mix it in with your regular flower for an extra kick!

Sprinkling a bit of kief from the bottom of your three-chamber grinder onto some ground up weed before you roll it into a joint is perhaps the simplest, most effective way to enjoy your trichomes. Some folks even dip their joints into keif to get really fancy!
Source: http://stonerculture.com/2011/05/kief-joints-3/
Source: http://wallpaper222.com/explore/kief-joint/
Dabbing cannabis concentrates made from trichomes with a dab rig can provide more powerful, faster-acting relief for a medical patient than rolling a joint for example. Dabbing is also the best way to taste and benefit from the terpenes in the trichomes as well.
Tying It All Together When it Comes to Trichomes
So trichomes are the gooey, sticky resin that you get on your ganja. This sticky resin protects the plants from insects, animals, and the sun while it grows. You want to try to consume as much of the trichomes as possible since this is where all of the plant's medicinal compounds (such as THC, CBD and terpenes) grow within the heads of the trichome glands. You can separate the trichomes from the ganja using butane (but only if you happen to be a certified professional BHO maker), ice water extraction, or a common three-chambered grinder once you see the trichome gland heads start to turn opaque. Additionally, you can choose to taste your trichomes by vaping, dabbing, taking a tincture, or by simply smoking them, so enjoy!

Hundreds filled the Hippodrome Theatre Monday night at a rally for Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson.
It was originally scheduled at VCU but was moved to the Hippodrome to accommodate more people.
A few hundred people were very engaged tonight for Governor Gary Johnson, watching as he offered an alternative to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Running on small government with social equality, Johnson met with the press before his event and cited recent polls that have him doing well with young, independent voters and says he's also doing well with active military.

Ironman recently announced that several races will no longer offer pro prize purses, and the money from those races will be reallocated to other races to increase the prize purse and also pay 10 deep. I can't say for sure how this will affect the pro race fields, but I'm guessing that now the races left with pro prize purses will be very hard to place top 10. It will be just as hard or harder for pros that are starting out in the sport to collect enough a money from the races to cover their traveling expenses. Those at the top will be making lots of money, while the ones getting started in the sport are at a disadvantage due to covering their expenses by working another job, coaching, etc. I am not saying that every professional triathlete should be making a ton of money (just like starting quarterbacks should make more money than the back up), but I think their should be some sort of travel stipend or something.
I also read Eric Limkeman's blog and agree with a lot of what he said there. The term professional triathlete is a very loose term. Very few triathletes can actually make a living doing it, and the value of a professional triathlete is hard to quantify. Pro's do their best to represent companies and companies do their best to promote their athletes. We don't make a ton of money off of them, and they don't make a ton of money off of us either, so the compensation is probably fine from the companies. I'm not asking to make millions, or even be considered rich. I just think that Pros need to reconsider chasing points for Kona and not getting paid, or not getting paid enough to cover traveling expenses. I know I plan on doing more Challenge Races next year as a business move to help me collect more money at races… and because I don't think Ironman is a company to support right now. Plus I know that at least this stage of the game for me, Kona is out of my reach.
Speaking of Kona, there has been lots of talk about having equal representation of male pro and men. IM also talked about cutting the number of pro men slots down and increasing the number of pro women. I don't think this is right due to the proportion of male vs. females in the average Ironman race. From the pro start lists that I've looked at over the last few years, their is usually between 2 and 3 times more men than females. Currently, 50 pro men and 35 pro women get to toe the line in Kona. So even though there is 2-3x more pro men vs pro women, men only get about 1.5x more slots at the pier in Kona.
Some people think that equal slots on pier in Kona would send a better message to young women getting started in the sport. However, I think that is not the case. If people think that the pro men and pro women should have equal slots, you could argue that the F18-24 (the AG with the least amount of participation in IM races) slots should have equal representation in Kona as the M40-44 (the AG with the one of the highest representation in IM races). If for some reason women out numbered men (which they probably do in comparison of F40-44 vs. M18-24) then the women should have more slots in Kona and be in proportion to the number participating.
At the end of the day, we (triathletes) can make a difference a vote with our money. If we continue supporting IM and their poor decisions (at least in my opinion), they will continue throwing their weight around and screwing both AG and pro athletes. Be vocal and speak out… don't just be complacent.

Senior Congress leader Kamal Nath recently stepped down from the post of the general secretary in-charge of the upcoming Punjab polls, following the controversy over his alleged role in the 1984 Sikh riots.
Nath has cited that the reason why he quit was because he has been "hurt" by recent controversy created around the 1984 riots".
Congress president Sonia Gandhi has accepted Nath's resignation. Nath was named as the general secretary in-charge of Punjab, but that didn't sit well with Punjab's ruling Shiromani Akali Dal and the Aam Aadmi Party. The two parties dug up old skeletons of Delhi's sensitive anti-Sikh riots.
Allegedly, Kamal Nath, one of the besties of Sanjay Gandhi, the younger scion of Indira Gandhi, had a role in egging the Hindu mob to carry atrocities against Sikhs in the city. The buddies were so close that the slogan during the Emergency run, "Indira Gandhi ke do haath, Sanjay Gandhi aur Kamal Nath (Indira Gandhi's two arms, Sanjay Gandhi and Kamal Nath).
In his book, Sanjay Suri recounts how the Congress leader appeared to be controlling the crowd outside Delhi's Rakab Ganj Sahib gurudwara in 1984. Suri had turned up at Rakab Ganj as the beat crime reporter of The Indian Express.
The assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984 by her two Sikh bodyguards let to a massive carnage against the community in the Capital, that left 3,000 people dead.
Nath was first was named in the case in 2005, 21 years after the riots. He said he had been "fully absolved" by the Nanavati Commission appointed by the previous NDA government to probe the riot. Besides Nath, Jagdish Tytler was another close friend of Sanjay Gandhi.
When Emergency was declared by Indira Gandhi in 1975, Sanjay along with his friends Kamal Nath, Jagdish Tytler (second fron left) and Ruksana Sultana, the mother of actress Amrita Singh (second from right) cheered him as he went on sterilsation drive, green drive and demolition drive.
After Sanjay died in a plane crash on June 23,1980, Nath and Tytler continued to work for Congress, although their influence in the party diminished.

In what was described as a "freak accident," the body of an extremely overweight person started a fire in a Cincinnati funeral home during the cremation process.
The fire erupted at the Hillside Chapel Crematory in Cincinnati, Ohio, this week when staffers fired up the crematorium, according to WCPO TV.
"My operator was in the process of cremating remains and (the body) was overly obese, and apparently it got a little hotter than the unit is supposed to get," owner Don Catchen told the TV reporter.
According to Cincinnati Fire Chief Michael Washington, the fire exploded out of the oven when the voluminous amount of fat in the body caught fire and leaked outside the device.
"We believe there were some combustible storage boxes that were too close to the ovens," Washington added.
The owner of the funeral home noted that the containers used to store ashes caught fire. "That's the only thing that's burnt," he said.
Apparently, there was no damage to the facilities, nor was there any threat of the fire spreading past the area near the oven.
Such "grease fires" are not unknown in the funeral home industry when dealing with overweight bodies.
WCPO notes that a crematorium in in Virginia caught fire in 2014 when trying to render a 500-pound body. Authorities said the overly hot fire caused rubber roofing near the smoke stack to begin melting and catching on fire.

When most Americans think about the 4th of July they congruently think about BBQ's. What about dessert? I think Cherry Pie is the vintage American treat. Traditionally eaten in midsummer with the harvest of cherries in North America, the culture of Cherry Pie perfectly coincides with America's Independence Day on July 4th. With that comes the practice of decorating the crust with ornate pastry patterns.
Whenever I think about Cherry Pie and the 4th of July I'm reminded of song….No… It's not "Cherry Pie" by Warrant…I think of the song "American Pie" – a song by American folk-rock singer and songwriter Don McLean. At the time, the song was released it was apparent that the theme was the 1959 plane crash which killed early rock and roll performers Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens. Thus, referring to "The Day the Music Died" – the crash was not known by that name until after McLean's song became a hit. The meaning of the rest of the song and its many characters have been debated over the years, but ultimately it was recently disclosed in the Washington Post that it was about the loss of the American Dream. It's sort of a sad song, but I take it as more of nostalgia for the bygone eras of great America. I think it is appropriate for our current times, while we enjoy BBQ and Cherry Pie on the 4th of July. So, crank it up and treat yourself to some pie this holiday!

Happy 4th of July!
2 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 tablespoons (or more) ice water
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

The default is a 3-level priority system: low, medium, high. How can I set up an additional priority status as say critical? This is needed as I want to have a much finer ticket privatization model.Basically, I want to know if there is a way to edit standard priority attribute.
Thank you

Thanks but a custom attribute just won't do. I am asking if there is a way to extend the standard priority attribute.
Thank you
Oct 13, 2010 at 00:50 UTC
NO, as Yasaf Burshan said - use custom attributes for this. Read also this topic: http:/
Oct 13, 2010 at 01:02 UTC
this is bad. If i set a custom attribute for this, it will confuse other IT admins and myself, as there will be 2 Priority fields. There are so many restrictions to the system! Why can't it be more customizable? Guess, this is a rhetorical question))
Oct 13, 2010 at 01:11 UTC
Just out of curiosity what other restrictions are you referring to? Spiceworks is one of the most customizable helpdesk products that I have used, so if you indicate the other issues we may be able to provide some guidance.
Oct 13, 2010 at 01:37 UTC
There are lots of major drawbacks :(((
For example,
I can not:
1. assign tickets to groups and not to individuals.
2. create interdependent incident categorization fields (which leads to poor statistics);
3. set email notification to groups;
4.change HelpDesk main view section (add/remove/rearrange columns);
5. set mandatory fields for incident registration/incident closure;
6. can not set to send email notification if SLA breaks
and many more small glitches.
If you can give me a hand with any of them I would appreciate it a lot.
Thank you
Oct 13, 2010 at 01:49 UTC
For 1 and 3. Create email distribution groups in your email system and add the distribution groups as Spiceworks users.. You can now assign to them and they can get alerts. Personally I dislike having multiple people assigned to a ticket as it leads to "someone else's responsibility" syndrome. I prefer to have an individual assigned and others CC'd so one person is accounatble.
2 and 4 are both open feature requests and may be added to a future version.
5 I would handle by policy rather than technology.
I don't understand what you are asking in 6
Spiceworks is a great product, but it is not the solution for every situation, no product is. If it doesn't meet your needs you may need to use a different product for your helpdesk. If you do this I would check back periodically as every new release brings improvements.
Oct 13, 2010 at 01:54 UTC
Thanks, Justin!
How often does a new version get released?
Oct 13, 2010 at 02:09 UTC
Usually there are 1-2 major and 2-4 minor versions a year.
Oct 13, 2010 at 02:12 UTC
Do you have an idea when the next one comes?
Oct 13, 2010 at 02:18 UTC
The plan is to release it before SpiceWorld which begins on 10/21, so very soon.

Our Leaders
Senior Pastor
Pastor Jim Fox
(585) 739-4071
Email: email@example.com
This picture would not exist or likely be happy if it were not for God's merciful work in my life! The Lord grabbed ahold of my heart around 1998. I committed my heart to Jesus not long before I was married in 2000. I grew up catholic and when mom said it was now my responsibility to decide if I wanted to go to church I decided not to go. My teenage friends and I began down the dangerous road of drug and alcohol abuse. This dominated my life and led to a brush with death in my bed one night. I couldn't get away from the thoughts of dying and wondering what happens afterwards. At this point I was a theological mess that believed all sorts of strange things. I started to go back to the Catholic Church while occasionally flipping thru the radio and catching a preacher who challenged me to get my truth from the bible. As I began reading the bible I realized that many things I learned as a child about Christianity were not biblical and quite like unnecessary baggage that hid the truth. Not long into the year 2000 I further committed to follow God's Word and throw away any beliefs not in line with it. My wife would say I was changing radically and this was true…. I wanted to wholeheartedly follow Jesus. I soon yearned for everyone to come to feel the joy of knowing Jesus in the truth. I couldn't get enough of the Word and witnessed to everyone I knew or bumped into. Soon believers and non believers alike said I had a pastor's heart and maybe I was called to be in the ministry,…some thought I already was. My wife also drew closer to the Lord and our marriage grew stronger as we sought God's will for our lives together. Confirming dreams, words of prophesy and divine happenings all pointed out the call for me to be a pastor. For several years I have found that I already operated in the calling just not with the official title. After a time of serving the Lord in various settings and ways, I am privileged to fulfill God's call on my life to Pastor here at Living Hope Assembly of God. My family and I welcome you to join us in this journey as we seek God and His Word; that we might all discover and fulfill the purpose He has for each one of us.
In Christ's love,
Pastor Jim Fox
SoulFire Youth Pastors
Pat & Monica Kader
Email: email@example.com
Pastor Pat's Bio: I grew up in a family that never prayed, or went to church, I was a very troubled young man to say the least. Fist fights were frequent during my teenage years, mainly because I was severely confused about how a young man should carry himself. Trouble seemed to be circling around me at all times!
When I was sixteen that began to change. I was invited to a "play" at a church and afterwards there would be pizza. What kid doesn't like pizza? So I went. The "play" was a reenactment of Christ's crucifixion and I remember feeling a tug at the center of my heart watching everything Jesus had to endure.
When the play finished, an alter call was given and I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Afterwards, we went out for pizzaJ!
I wish I could say that my life was perfect from that point forward, but that would be a lie. There were many hills and valleys, but through it all, I kept coming back to Jesus. You see, we may walk away from Him for a time, but he never leaves us! Deuteronomy 31:8 says: "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged".
In 1998, my wife Monica and I were married and God has blessed us with three wonderful boys (Bryar, Austin, and Ayden). We moved to Hamlin in 2006, and shortly after began attending Living Hope AG.
Upon first arriving, all we could do was come and sit, learn from our wonderful Pastor and become disciples. As time passed, we began to serve and help in several ministries. We always seemed to have a heart for the youth of our church, serving at first primarily in the background, but eventually accepted the role as Youth Pastors in 2014.
It is our hearts desire to see others come to know the joy that a relationship with Jesus can bring! Living Hope is a great place to attend and start the journey that could change your life in wonderful ways!

As a child, I believed there was a God but i was unsure of who he was. I was raised in a loving home and was taught values and to put others before myself, but never understood what significance church or Jesus Christ had in a person's life. At 28 I met my wife who was raised in a Christian home and was not willing to raise her children without a relationship with the Lord. When i began coming to living hope i remained withdrawn from others in the church. As I got to know people i began to see the same values in them that my parents had placed in me. The family at Living hope genuinely cares about the needs of others. The bible says the most powerful thing in our lives is the love we have. If you are looking for a church to attend I would urge you to come and see how this small church family is doing great things when they allow Jesus to work in their lives.
May God bless you all,
Eric Yockel
Council Secretary
Hi, thank you for taking a moment to learn a little about me! I have been a part of Living Hope from young age. Over the years I have been able to see alot of people grow in the Lord. I responded to God's call in my life to attend Bible school in 2010 and I have received my associate degree in biblical studies in 2015. One of the things I love to do is encourage individuals to use the gifts that God has given them on a personal level. When we are able to grow our individual gifts we can then come together and allow God to use the gifts to bless and edify the entire body of Christ. Each one of us has an important part to play, we all have purpose. I am excited to see what God is doing here at Living Hope.
God Bless,
Lew Bianchi
Council Trustee

I have been a member of Living Hope since 2006. I came here very broken in many ways; physically, emotionally and spiritually. I had been battling a brittle bone disease for quite a long time. I was tired and lost. I knew there had to be more than just living day to day and barely getting by. As I began to get more involved here I gained a sense of purpose and meaning in my life. I also began to be healed, gradually having less and less fractures until I wasn't having any! The more I devoted my life to Christ the better I began to feel physically, emotionally and spiritually. I would like to personally welcome you to come visit us! I have been working for Living Hope since 2009, its hands down the best job I have ever had! If you have any questions, please feel free to get in contact with me at any time!

THE struggling owner of Frankie & Benny's and Garfunkel's announced that it is shutting 33 under-performing sites as part of a strategic review.
The Restaurant Group booked pre-tax losses of £22.5m for the first half of the year as it took a hit from a £59.1m exceptional charge linked to the store closures and writedowns.
The store closures will affect up to 1,000 jobs.
Like-for-like sales fell 3.9 per cent as the group, which has issued a string of profit warnings, flagged a 'challenging trading period'.
Chairman Debbie Hewitt said: 'The brand remains relevant and popular and we're confident that improved performance will be achieved by being more customer-focused and data-driven, and through better operational execution.'
The Restaurant Group said 'significant price increases' had hit hard and it pledged to look at pricing in a bid to attract more families to its outlets.
The next phase of the review will look at stablemates Chiquito, Coast To Coast, Joe's Kitchen and Garfunkel's.
A spokesman for the firm confirmed restaurants in Gunwharf Quays and at Whiteley Shopping Centre were not on the 'at risk' list.

Well of course the crazy Iranian president doesn't care about U.N. resolutions or sanctions. He learned really well from Iraq.
Iran's deputy nuclear chief said Saturday that Tehran would agree to United Nations supervision of its uranium enrichment process and intrusive inspections of its atomic facilities if its case was referred back to the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The offer came a day after the U.S. called a summit of foreign ministers from Germany and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council in New York on May 9 to discuss a united response to Iran's nuclear program.
But Mohammad Saeedi, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, said Iran would not yield to UN demands that it abandon uranium enrichment, and criticised the report by IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei.
ElBaradei said UN checks in Iran had been hampered and Tehran had rebuffed requests to stop making nuclear fuel.
"The report was not completely satisfactory for us and we believe that the report could have been done better than that," Saeedi told state television.
However, Saeedi insisted Iran would be able to answer ElBaradei's concerns about the access granted to UN inspectors if Tehran's nuclear dossier were dropped by the UN Security Council, which has the power to impose sanctions.
Besides standing firm on enrichment, Saeedi also said Iran was pushing forward with further technological developments.
Iran was installing two more 164-centrifuge cascades at its uranium enrichment plant in Natanz, central Iran.
"[Uranium enrichment in] Natanz is continuing its work well… two other cascades [of 164-machine centrifuges] are being installed," Saeedi said.
Scientists were also studying more advanced centrifuges than those Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced research on earlier this month. The more sophisticated equipment speeds up the enrichment process.
"What we are conducting research on is not only P-2 but even more advanced machines," Saeedi said, adding that Iran had not moved beyond using the P-1 centrifuges.
"Our efforts are to use the most sophisticated machines, like in Germany, Netherlands, Japan and Brazil," he said.
The talks called by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice followed the release Friday of the IAEA report. (Click here for excerpts from the report)
"The report and the Iranians' actions that produced it really compel some form of action now by the international community… We think this will lead to consideration of a sanctions regime," said U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns as he announced the meeting.
The IAEA findings also effectively reflected a standstill between Iran and agency inspectors pursuing open questions linked to possible attempts by Iran to make nuclear arms.
Burns and other political directors from UN Security Council members Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany are to lay the groundwork for the foreign ministers' meeting with talks on Iran in Paris on Tuesday.
There is no agreement yet, but "the Security Council, to maintain its credibility, is going to have to find a way to act in a countervailing way" against Iran, he said.
The Council's three veto-wielding Western nations immediately announced plans to introduce a new resolution next week which would make Iran's compliance with the demands mandatory. To intensify pressure, they want the resolution under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which means it can be enforced through sanctions or military action.
China and Russia, the two other countries with veto power, oppose sanctions and military action and want the Iran nuclear issue resolved diplomatically, with the IAEA taking the lead, not the Security Council.
U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton took the toughest line, saying "the IAEA report shows that Iran has accelerated its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons although, of course, the report doesn't make any conclusions in that regard."
He told reporters the United States hopes to move "as a matter of urgency" and introduce a Chapter 7 resolution next week, which will give Iran "a very short" period to comply and halt enrichment.
"We're ready to proceed; we're ready to move expeditiously," Bolton said. "And what comes after that is largely in Iraq's hands… They have to comply or the Security Council is free to take other steps."
Britain's UN Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry called it "a calibrated approach which is reversible if Iran was prepared to comply fully with the wishes of the international community."
"Then, the next stage of activity would not follow," he said.
"A diplomatic solution is what we're all working for, and our patience must be pretty consistent there in order that we achieve that," Jones Parry stressed.
China's UN Ambassador Wang Guangya echoed the need for a diplomatic solution "because this region is already complicated… and we should not do anything that would cause the situation [to be] more complicated."
He said the implication of a Chapter 7 resolution is clear: It will lead to a series of resolutions, complicating the situation and creating uncertainty. "I
think whatever we do we should promote diplomacy," Wang said.
Russia's deputy UN ambassador Konstantin Dolgov told the Itar-Tass news agency that Moscow still sees no reason for a Chapter 7 resolution. He said the IAEA should stay in the lead on Iran and the Security Council should provide "political support" to the IAEA.
"Sanctions are not the way of resolving the Iranian problem, at least at the current stage, bearing in mind the information available," Dolgov was quoted as saying.

Let's Get Planting
It's that time again, and I'm so excited. This weekend we had beautiful weather. We could finally think about planting. Weather is crazy though, we then had freezing temperatures two days later. It felt so good to be outside weeding my vegetable garden. Yes, I really did say that. I had two summers in a row of being very pregnant in 100 degree weather. I don't mind being crouched down in my garden sweating it out, 40 pounds lighter.
I grew up in the country and we had a huge vegetable garden. We either ate our vegetables fresh or canned them to have through the winter. Gardening is something I thoroughly enjoy. I also think it will be good for the kids to learn how to plant something and watch it grow. There is nothing better than fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden. So, I thought I'd share our first enjoyable weekend working outside.
Ok, nice weather equals cute spring outfits for the trip to the plant store. I had so much fun with Bigs. He was modeling for the camera. His whole outfit was from Target. Really, that place is taking all my money.
We always overdo it with the plants. We overfilled our cart and had to get a trailer for our trees. The drought last year wasn't friendly to our trees in the back yard.
Bigs thinks he can move the wheelbarrow with the tree. What a little helper he has become. It was really amusing watching his frustration that he couldn't move it.
So, this was my garden when I started to weed two weeks ago. I never thought I would see the end. This was the worst it has ever been.
Finally, finally, finally I see dirt! It took me way to long but I am much closer to planting. I still need to till and fill with more of my magic growing dirt which I'll post later. Hooray!

Save time and money with a Pre-Approved car loan
Buying a car is an exciting accomplishment. It is important to know how much you can borrow before buying your dream car. A pre-approved car loan will define how much you can spend and help you to shop realistically. When you find a car you love, a Pre-approved car loan will allow you to avoid any stress that might accompany last minute car loan approval. Having a pre-approved car loan will give you added confidence while you search for your dream car.
- Increase your confidence – Pre-approval gives you more power to negotiate and increased confidence before you step onto the lot.
- Know where you stand – By knowing your exact price range, you can save time by only seeing cars that are within that pre-approved range.
- Simplify the process – Getting pre-approved will allow you to learn about your financing before stepping onto the lot. This means that you can focus on issues relating to a specific vehicle when you shop for a car.
- No obligation – Being pre-approved does not obligate you to accept the loan offer.

Several Bibb County court cases will be dismissed after allegations that a Bibb County sheriff's investigator lied while under oath.
Prosecutor Nancy Scott Malcor said the district attorney's office is reviewing cases and will be throwing out the ones in which investigator Allie Seckinger is an essential witness.
It's unclear how many cases will be thrown out, but most of Seckinger's cases have involved charges of child molestation, Malcor said.
One high-profile case being tossed involves Bibb County's first case of human trafficking.
Bibb County Sheriff Jerry Modena said Wednesday that Seckinger is on administrative leave with pay, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is checking the allegations.
Malcor said Seckinger testified at a Jan. 13 hearing held to determine whether a statement Twanndolynne Towns gave deputies in an attempted armed robbery case would be admissible in court.
While under oath, Seckinger testified that she didn't coerce Towns into making a statement by saying that she'd call the Department of Family and Children Services and have Towns' child taken away from her, Malcor said.
Seckinger testified that she read Towns her Miranda rights, and that Towns volunteered to give deputies a statement, according to a transcript of the hearing.
She said she asked dispatchers to call DFACS as a matter of policy, and she admitted telling Towns near the end of the interview that she needed to think about her child's welfare while giving the statement, according to the transcript.
"It was said because her child is young, and I had made comments that armed robbery carries a lot of years and she wouldn't see her child as a child, you know, growing up," Seckinger testified.
Seckinger denied telling Towns that she was going to contact DFACS about the child in response to Towns' claim that she wasn't involved in the robbery attempt.
Two days after the hearing, an audio recording of the interview came to light that contradicted Seckinger's testimony, and prosecutors determined that Towns' statement couldn't be used because it was illegally obtained, Malcor said.
The Towns case still will be prosecuted, just not using her statement to deputies as evidence, she said.
Malcor said cases that require Seckinger as a material witness are being thrown out because "once someone shows that they will lie under oath, we can't give them another chance."
District Attorney Howard Simms said he's reviewing all materials pertaining to the case, and there's an ongoing investigation into Seckinger's testimony.
The maximum penalty for perjury is 10 years in prison.
One of the cases scheduled for dismissal concerns a 14-year-old girl who was "pimped out" for days at a house in the Pleasant Hill neighborhood in March 2009.
Shuntain N. Griffin, 31, and Marcus Dwayne Henley, 32, were indicted in November on charges of trafficking a person for sexual servitude.
The girl's mother said she was at home doing her morning chores Wednesday when she got a call from the district attorney's office saying that her daughter's case would be dismissed.
"I felt like I'd been kicked in the gut," the mother said. "I'm upset and I feel helpless."
Griffin and Henley were being held at the Bibb County jail Wednesday night, according to jail records. Griffin has a $111,200 bond while Henley is being held without bond.
Modena said he called the GBI on Wednesday morning after conducting a preliminary internal investigation.
That investigation revealed information that conflicted with the state's allegation, he said.
Modena said he requested the GBI's help to remove the appearance of a conflict of interest or favoritism in investigating the allegations.
"It's a situation I feel like we need other eyes looking at," he said. "It's a serious allegation, and there shouldn't be a rush to judgment."
Seckinger was removed from case work last week when the sheriff's office first learned about the allegations, and she was placed on administrative leave with pay Wednesday, Modena said.
She will remain on leave until the conclusion of the GBI investigation.
Seckinger first started work at the sheriff's office in 1994 and worked as a dispatcher, a deputy assigned to the drug and vice unit and on patrol before becoming an investigator in July 2006, according to her personnel file.
The file contains multiple positive job reviews and a half-dozen letters of appreciation from Seckinger's supervisors, community residents and the district attorney's office.
No reprimands are listed in the file.
Information from The Telegraph's archives was included in this report.

cpap strap leaves painful sores and welts, please advise
By larick May 25, 2012 at 9:12 am 21,162 17 1
Hi, my name is Rick. I am living with severe sleep apnea. I use a full face mask, but I have to keep it so tight to prevent leaks the straps leave deep cuts and welts in the back of my neck. The pain is like a 2nd degree kitchen burn. Sometimes they scab over. I also have Sjogren's Syndrome, which possibly makes my skin easier to break?
Every AM I wake up in pain, whimpering as I pull off mask, touch the purple welts on neck, take pain relievers, put antibiotic ointment on the cuts & raised welts and an ice pack to numb it. I have a pain relief rx for an unrelated long-term injury, so after I take that the pain is more tolerable all day.
I have tried many masks and am on a pressure of 17, which I still cant sleep on my back & breathe, but only my side, which means to avoid pillow causing leak, strap must be very tight. When I see Dr. I have to tell him I need even higher pressure, which means a tighter strap!
I could deal with pain if it wasn't constant. But it never gets to heal. It feels like a 2nd degree burn I get to rip open afresh every night! I am now putting strap over a line of crusted scabs & purple welts and it bites deep into my skin again. I don't even care about the marks it leaves on my face. I just can't bear the pain of having to strap it over the welts & scabs from this morning and it leaks until I pull it as tight as it will go. I am a regular visit to cpap clinic at the sleep center at UPenn, which is one of the best on east coast, so I assume they aren't just terrible at masking me, I have tried on at least 10 masks and pretended to sleep in office. Will my neck eventually just callus and be ok like when you buy new boots? Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have suggestions about how to treat these wounds in AM and prepare them for further abuse in evening? Is there something I should I put under the strap besides a bandage?
Sorry this is really long! I am just so desperate! Thank you for any response!

The Olympics Land Grab
By Naomi Klein - July 16th, 2003
In sports, as in life, "security" trumps peace.
That's what happened when the International Olympic Committee faced a choice between Pyeongchang, South Korea and Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Games.
South Korea pitched itself as the Peace Candidate: with the world in turmoil, bring the games to the very border of George Bush's "Axis of Evil" and make a gesture of reconciliation.
Vancouver, on the other hand, sold itself as the Safety and Security Candidate: with the world in turmoil, hold the games somewhere you can be almost certain that nothing will happen. The Vancouver-Whistler Olympic bid presented the province of British Columbia as a model of harmonious, sustainable living, a place where everyone gets along: Native and non-Native, rural and urban, rich and poor.
Before the vote, IOC President Jacques Rogge tipped his hand by declaring South Korean's peace theme to be "secondary" and telling the Los Angeles Times that his top priority was "the best possible security."
Canada: Hippie Nation?
By Naomi Klein - July 2nd, 2003
Canadians can't quite believe it: Suddenly, we're interesting.
After months of making the news only with our various communicable diseases-SARS, mad cow and West Nile-we're now getting world famous for our cutting-edge laws on gay marriage and legalized drugs. The Bush conservatives are repulsed by our depravity. My friends in New York and San Francisco have been quietly inquiring about applying for citizenship.
Bush to NGOs: Watch Your Mouths
By Naomi Klein - June 20th, 2003
The Bush administration has found its next target for pre-emptive war, but it's not Iran, Syria or North Korea — not yet, anyway.
Before launching any new foreign adventures, the Bush gang has some homeland housekeeping to take care of: It is going to sweep up those pesky non-governmental organizations that are helping to turn world opinion against US bombs and brands.
The war on NGOs is being fought on two clear fronts. One buys the silence and complicity of mainstream humanitarian and religious groups by offering lucrative reconstruction contracts. The other marginalizes and criminalizes more independent-minded NGOs by claiming that their work is a threat to democracy. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) is in charge of handing out the carrots, while the American Enterprise Institute, the most powerful think tank in Washington, D.C., is wielding the sticks.
Downsizing in Disguise
By Naomi Klein - June 4th, 2003
The streets of Baghdad are a swamp of uncollected garbage and crime.
Battered local businesses are going bankrupt, unable to compete with cheap imports. Unemployment is soaring and thousands of laid off state workers are protesting in the streets.
In other words, Iraq looks like every other country that has undergone rapid fire "structural adjustments" prescribed by Washington, from Russia's infamous "shock therapy" in the early nineties to Argentina's disastrous "surgery without aesthetic" a few years later. Except that Iraq's so-called reconstruction makes those wrenching reforms look like spa treatments.
Paul Bremer, the U.S. appointed governor of Iraq, has already proved something of a flop in the democracy department in his three weeks there, nixing plans for Iraqis to select their own interim government in favour of his own handpicked team of advisors. But Bremer has proved to have something of a gift when it comes to rolling out the red carpet for U.S. multinationals. No wonder George Bush looked so pleased when he met Bremer in Qatar.
When Some Lives Matter More Than Others
By Naomi Klein - May 21st, 2003
Jessica Lynch and Rachel Corrie could have passed for sisters. Two all-American blondes, two destinies forever changed in a Middle East war zone. Private Jessica Lynch, the soldier, was born in Palestine, West Virginia. Rachel Corrie, the activist, died in Israeli-occupied Palestine.
Corrie was four years older than 19-year old Lynch. Her body was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza seven days before Lynch was taken into Iraqi custody on March 23. Before she went to Iraq, Lynch organized a pen pal program with a local kindergarden. Before Corrie left for Gaza, she organized a pen pal program between kids in her hometown of Olympia, Washington, and children in Rafah.
Lynch went to Iraq as a soldier loyal to her government. In the words of West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller, "she approached the prospect of combat with determination rather than fear."
Elections vs. Democracy in Argentina
By Naomi Klein - May 7th, 2003
In most of the world, it's the sign for peace, but here in Argentina it means war. The index and middle finger, held to form a "V" means, to his followers, "Menem Vuelve," Menem will return. Carlos Menem, poster boy of Latin American neo-liberalism, president for almost all of the 1990s, is looking to get his old job back on May 18.
Menem's campaign ads show menacing pictures of unemployed workers blockading roads, with a voice-over promising to bring order, even if it means calling in the military. This strategy gave him a slim lead in the first election round, though he will almost certainly lose the run-off to an obscure Peronist governor, Nestor Kirchner, considered the puppet of current president (and Menem's former vice-president) Eduardo Duhalde.
The Brukman Battle
By Naomi Klein - April 23rd, 2003
In 1812, bands of British weavers and knitters raided textile mills and smashed industrial machines with their hammers. According to the Luddites, the new mechanized looms had eliminated thousands of jobs, broken communities, and deserved to be destroyed. The British government disagreed and called in a battalion of 14,000 soldiers to brutally repress the worker revolt and protect the machines.
Fast-forward two centuries to another textile factory, this one in Buenos Aires. At the Brukman factory, which has been producing men's suits for fifty years, it's the riot police who smash the sewing machines and the 58 workers who risk their lives to protect them.
Demonstrated Ideals
By Naomi Klein - April 20th, 2003
Review of
Letters to a Young Activist,
Todd Gitlin, Basic Books: 174 pp.,$22.50
Two years ago, I was invited to the South Australian desert to meet a group of Aboriginal elders who were fighting a radioactive waste dump on their land. I went to Coober Pedy expecting to be bombarded with alarming facts about toxic waste leaking into groundwater, cancer risks and the half-life of radium. Something else happened instead. Immediately upon my arrival, I was scooped up by a group of young environmentalists who dressed like "Mad Max" characters and took me camping.
For five nights we slept by a bonfire on the cracked red earth under the stars. During the days they showed me secret sources of fresh water, plants used for bush medicines, hidden eucalyptus-lined rivers where the kangaroos come to drink. It was amazingly beautiful, but by the third day I started getting restless. When, I asked 22-year-old Nina Brown, were we going to get down to work? She replied that the senior Aboriginal women, who called themselves the Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta, had taught her that before you can fight, you have to know what you are fighting for.
Privatization in Disguise
By Naomi Klein - April 9th, 2003
On April 6, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz spelled it out: There will be no role for the United Nations in setting up an interim government in Iraq. The US-run regime will last at least six months, "probably...longer than that."
And by the time the Iraqi people have a say in choosing a government, the key economic decisions about their country's future will have been made by their occupiers. "There has got to be an effective administration from day one," Wolfowitz said. "People need water and food and medicine, and the sewers have to work, the electricity has to work. And that's a coalition responsibility."
The process of getting all this infrastructure to work is usually called "reconstruction." But American plans for Iraq's future economy go well beyond that. Rather, the country is being treated as a blank slate on which the most ideological Washington neoliberals can design their dream economy: fully privatized, foreign-owned and open for business.
We Have You Surrounded
By Naomi Klein - March 27th, 2003
As a kid, I had trouble understanding why my parents and siblings lived in Montreal and the rest of my family – grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins – were scattered across the United States. On long car trips to visit relatives in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, my parents would tell us about the Vietnam war, and the thousands of US peace activists who, like us, snuck across the border to Canada in the late sixties.
I was told that the Canadian government not only stayed officially neutral during the war, it offered sanctuary for US citizens who refused to fight in a war they believed was wrong. Derided as "draft dodgers" at home, we were welcomed in Canada as conscientious objectors.
My family's decision to emigrate to Canada was made before I was born, but these romantic stories planted an idea in my head when I was far too young to fend it off: I believed that Canada had a relationship with the world that was radically different from that of the United States; that despite cultural similarities and geographic proximity, more humane and less interventionist values guided our dealings. In short, I thought we were sovereign.

Now is the time to plant Pansies!
Did you know that Pansies are so tough that they will live under the snow? Plant pansies in the fall, then as soon as snow melts, you have flowers that begin to blossom and thrive long before Mother's Day. Pansies prefer cooler weather, so around mid-june, they will stretch and it will be time to pull them out. Having a seasonal flower bed that you can rotate your spring and summer color is a great way to always have color in your yard.

Police: Cab Drivers Robbed at Gun Point
Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Columbia Police are looking for two male suspects accused of robbing cab drivers at gun point this weekend.
According to investigators, the suspects called for the taxi service and after a cab company employee picked up the patron, the suspects pointed guns at the victims and demanded money.
The first incident happened Friday morning around 5:30 when a Blue Ribbon cab driver was dispatched to 3622 High Circle. The victim said at that location, two male suspects approached the cab with weapons. The suspects discharged at least one gun and demanded money. No one was injured during this incident.
The second incident happened around 3 on Sunday morning when a Yellow Checker cab driver picked up two men from 739 Carnegie Street. The suspects asked the driver to stop at 3618 High Circle where the men are accused of demanding money from the cab driver while holding him at gunpoint. The suspects are also accused of firing a weapon at the victim. No one was injured in this incident either.
A victim described one of the suspects as a male between the ages of 20 and 30 years old with dreadlocks, wearing white shorts, a blue shirt, and a blue bandana.

What are the benefit specifications?
- Personal assistance services (applies only to TSOA)
- Caregiver assistance services
- Health maintenance and therapy supports
- Specialized equipment and supplies
- Training and educational supports
How do I make a referral?
For practical caregiving information, and help finding local resources/services, call your local Community Living Connections/Area Agency on Aging or Home and Community Services Office.

"Morality" reforms have led to the Indian government ordering internet companies to ban 857 Indian porn websites.
The government's ministry for telecommunications made the order on the back of a Supreme Court judgement last month which said access to the internet could be legitimately controlled. The change is the brainchild of lawyer Kamlesh Vaswani, reports the Hindustan Times, who has campaigned against pornography for years.
Vaswani is convinced the high prevalence of brutal rapes in India is linked to consumption of pornography. He told the Times: "My fight has been against obscenity. I feel watching porn fuels violence against women. It propels men to commit sex crimes. I saw no women come forward and speak up against pornography, so I did it".
He rejected the notion that women also watch pornography as an an "insult" to the dignity of Indian women.
The list of websites banned by the government request was so extensive it ran to 17-sides of A4. It is reported the websites targeted went further than the expected filth mongers, but also included dating sites, as well as humourous and political sites like Collegehumour and Liveleak.
This development by Narenda Modi's socially conservative Hindu government may be seen as part of a global movement by governments to wrestle control over what has been the libertarian internet. Breitbart London reported last week on a similar crack down in the United Kingdom, where Prime Minister David Cameron has demanded pornographic websites install identity-verification measures or face being banned altogether.
Concerned that large numbers of children are enjoying unfettered access to internet porn, the government is taking the fight to free-access porn providers to lock children out of their content completely. An Autumn consultation into controlling access to pornography will invite providers to take part – although there is little explanation over how new laws would regulate the estimated millions of porn sites hosted globally.
Changing the way we access pornography follows moves last year to regulate what content British producers and distributors of porn can give to the public. Following advice to bring regulation for online porn into line with porn bought in 'adult' shops on the high-street, a number of sexual acts were banned, impacting disproportionately heavily on the British 'cottage' porn industry.
As reported by Breitbart London last year, the acts banned included:
- Spanking
- Caning
- Aggressive whipping
- Penetration by any object "associated with violence"
- Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of consent)
- Urolagnia (known as "water sports")
- Female ejaculation
- Strangulation
- Facesitting
