Works very well in combination with sports exhausts, but the original can be retained, but the main jet should be altered (10-15% larger). A 17.5mm carb is recommended.

In other news, sky still blue
A U.N. task force has found evidence of corruption that may have cost the institution upwards of $610 million. Shocking stuff indeed.
"U.N. officials privately acknowledge that some malfeasance is inevitable in an organization that processes 12,000 purchase orders in the field each year and buys enough energy to power a city larger than Washington, D.C."
That's the spirit! If you don't even try to be accountable, you can't be considered a failure. And that's a valuable take home lesson for all the member states.
(I know, I'm a horrible blogger and I'm not even going to apologize for the lack of posts.. as my mother always taught me, sorry means you won't do it again. I did however miss my baby's third birthday which is inexcusable... Happy Belated Birthday Bitter Lemon!)

Quick commenting multiple lines in VIM with a map
0 - move to beginning of the line
i - insert mode
// - the comment syntax
j - move down to the next line
so we can map that series of comands in to an easy to remember key combination like this:
:nmap cc 0i//<esc>
This works great for one line, but what about where you want to comment out multiple lines you ask? It's a pretty reasonable request!
Well, if we simply right 2cc, the 2 will be appended to the 0, which will be equivalent to typing 20i//
The solution is to use a concept called register, which will define the command as a block, prevent the appending we say previously. It will look like the following
:nmap cc @='0i//
Note: registers must be followed by a <C-R>
Note: you could replace 0i with I (capital i)

John Overs and Katherine Calder explain the government's tax compliance requirements for tenders for public sector contracts, and the practical steps that businesses can take to comply.
On 25 July 2013, the government issued Policy Action Note 06/13 (the policy document) and, in so doing, finalised its controversial policy designed to prevent any organisation caught trying to avoid, or improperly reduce, its tax bill from winning government contracts.
This article examines the detail behind the headlines and what it really means for organisations that are looking to tender for government work, including what practical steps organisations that may tender for public sector contracts should be taking now. If you would like to read more you can view the full article.

With our son arriving in April (and our income ceasing) I have tried to remain patient, trusting that God is in control. I believe that God will provide, and I have seen Him provide for Amy and I many times throughout our marriage. Despite this knowledge there are times when I get nervous and realize that April will be here before I know it, I need a job quickly. After thinking about this a lot last week, I have realized how little control I actually have. I can pretend that I can take matters into my own hands and find a job, but when I apply to countless companies, only to never hear from them again, I realize that God is the only one who is in control. I was talking with one of my mentors last week about my lack of control in life and how much Amy's pregnancy has made me realize this. Amy can do everything in her power to protect and nourish our son throughout pregnancy, but ultimately our babies health is out of our control. I have read many stories of miscarriage and know that these mothers were doing everything in their power to keep their babies healthy.
The reality of our life is that we are not in control. Of course there are certain elements of our life that are within our power to control, but as a whole God is the only one who is control of our lives, what jobs we will get, and if our children will be healthy and safe. I am thankful that I have a my faith in God to help comfort me during these times when I realize how little control I have in my life. Praise be to God that He is the one in control for He truly knows what I need more than I do. May we all recognize that despite our desires we are not in control of our life, and in recognizing this may we turn to God even more, recognizing our deep need for Him every hour of every day.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap not gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do your worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you--you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' FOr it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:25-33 (NRSV)

While he negotiated the first three deliveries from young left-arm spinner Vishal Dabholkar with ease, the fourth delivery suddenly kept low and hit in the toe-region of Tendulkar's boot. There was a wry smile in the face of the batsman as bowler Dabholkar also looked a bit embarrassed.
Tendulkar then walked up and inspected the strip and then called team's trainer Amogh Pandit instructing him to give throwdowns calling off the net session. Tendulkar doing a lot of knocking prior to a match has been regular but one doesn't find him calling off A net session after only three deliveries. Later Dabholkar confirmed that it was the uneven nature of the practice wicket that prompted the switch.
"The practice wicket wasn't upto the mark and there was a lot of uneven bounce," young Dabholkar said.
The crowd, which gathers at the Palam Airforce ground, swelled up by large number due to the presence of Tendulkar. Shaurya Sood, a differently-abled boy, studying in XIth standard had the most memorable day of his life when Tendulkar stopped to give him an autograph and also got a picture clicked with him.
"I wanted to say a lot of things but when I saw him, I couldn't say anything. I have got his autograph and I am very happy," said Shaurya, whose father is an airforce officer and mother, a school teacher. (PTI)

Public Wi-Fi has greater potential for meeting data demand, particularly as more people access broadband services using mobile devices.
This is the view of Ofcom, which has mapped the distribution of these hotspots across the UK for the first time.
According to the media regulator, there are now 16,000 Wi-Fi access points in places like cafes, transport hubs and other public spaces.
But at present, consumers seem to prefer using their mobile network for internet access when out and about, Ofcom noted.
The regulator explained that around 25 times as much data is currently downloaded over mobile networks as via public Wi-Fi.
"This suggests there is an untapped opportunity for public Wi-Fi to help meet consumers' growing thirst for data," Ofcom stated.
Earlier this year, Jeremy Hunt - the then Culture Secretary - claimed that a combination of technologies is needed to cope with rising broadband usage in the UK.
He said that with the wider availability of tablets, dongles and smartphones, mobile data demands are tripling every year.
Mr Hunt claimed there should be "no false choice" between mobile and fixed line, or fibre and high-speed wireless.
"All technologies - including satellite - are likely to have a part to play," he argued.

The pharmacy department was one of the clinical, training and service departments in the hospital, and virtually all patients who attend the hospital end up in the pharmacy to collect drugs and/or dressings. The Pharmacy Department has evolved from one Dispensary and 7 small stores scattered within ADEOYO Hospital, Yemetu to the modern Pharmacy Department it is today. The Department was handed over to Mr. F. A. Callisto by Mr. M. Ritchie in May 1953. Mr. Callisto who was employed from the United Kingdom was the first indigenous Chief Pharmacist of a Nigerian Teaching Hospital. He was also the only Nigerian Head of Department in the Hospital at the time.
The University College Hospital pioneered the production of sterile preparations for use of her patients in 1957, and to date there are still many rare pharmaceutical preparations produced in the department. Drug procurement was mainly from the Medical Stores in Lagos. Some drugs were obtained from May & Baker and Kingsway Chemists. Drugs which were not available in these places were obtained from Glaxo, Allen and Hansburys, Ward Blekinsop all of whom had depots in Lagos. Several goods were also ordered from the United Kingdom through Crown Agents
In line with the tripartite mission of UCH which is Service, Research and Training, the department carries out the following activities:
- Procurement, Storage and Dispensing of Drugs and Dressings
- Counseling of Patients on Drug Use.
- Provision of Information on drug related issues to patients and other health workers.
- Manufacturing of External and Pharmaceutical preparations like syrups, mixtures, ointments, creams, lotions etc.
- Manufacturing of sterile pharmaceuticals like injections, ear and eye preparations and nasal drops. (It is hoped that in the near future with the addition of more equipment, the department will be able to resuscitate preparation of infusions and intravenous infusion admixtures)
- Training of student and pupil pharmacists on clerkship, externship, industrial attachment and internship.
- Arrangement and Presentation of seminars and clinical discussions on patient drug therapy and management and other drug related issues.
- Monitoring of Adverse Drug Reactions with other members of the Pharmacovigilance team.

I don't have children and am not ready to TTC yet, but I have a question. I've heard a lot of the ladies on here say that bowel movements in the time after giving birth are terrifying. This isn't something I've heard a lot about. What the heck happens??? I'm afraid I'm going to have a baby one day, poop, and wind up horribly injured.

These works span the years either side of World War I, a period of huge importance, both for the Czech nation and for Leo Janáček. This was a period of rebirth after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Janáček's music was considered as the very heart of this new beginning.
"The Eternal Gospel", a "Legend for Soprano, Tenor, Chorus and Orchestra" was composed in 1913 to a text by Jaroslav Vrchlicky. The title is borrowed from the Book of Revelation and although Janáček's celebrated agnosticism might have led him to view the message as overtly religious, he still found a way on how to express the need for reconciliation that the world of his time badly needed.
'Legend' was premièred late in 1917 whilst 'The Ballad of Blanik' dates from a couple of years later and can be labelled as a 'miniature orchestral epic' based on traditional folk material and depicting the transformation of swords into ploughshares amidst a backdrop of pastoral serenity.
'The Fiddler's Child' is a ballad for violin and orchestra also composed in 1913. This piece is loosely based on a gruesome story by Svatopluk Cech. Set in a village, the tale describes how a destitute fiddler dies after entrusting his sick child and fiddle to the care of an old woman. At midnight, the dead fiddler appears near the cradle and lures the child with his music to a better life.
The two 'Excursions of Mr. Broucek' operas composed between 1908 and 1917 deal with traditional tales of escapism dating from the Middle Ages. Dedicated to Tomas Masaryk, the country's president in the years following its split from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the operas contain music of unbounded vivacity and optimism. The Suite, prepared after the composer's death in 1928, is built on the considerable amount of purely orchestral music from the operas including some of Janáček's original drafts. These are scores of irrepressible beauty and imagination majestically performed by an orchestra and conductor that are totally devoted to the composer. Soloists and chorus are inspirational; their version of 'Gospel' is exciting, uplifting and truly memorable. A disc full of shimmering wonders which I cannot recommend too highly.

text: Supercharged Backlinks - The Experiment About 5 weeks back on a thread whose name I've forgotten, I wrote about my plan to try and sustain a good rank in Google quickly for a new domain. I said I would keep you posted so this is what I'm doing. After beginning to rank very well in week 2 (i.e. page 1 for most things) and keeping those rankings for 3 weeks, I woke up today to find my site gone from the serps. Same old sob story, but this time it's different. I meant this as an experiment and I am learning. My Strategy: Charge the core homepage of the new site with the strongest, cleanest links I could find. I know that it's generally accepted that direct linking is dangerous, but I wanted to see if using only clean and powerful links could overcome these dangers. I am conducting a separate test of using only deferred linking, and I will post results as they come in. The main backlinking campaign was supplemented by on-context links from web 2.0 satellites which contain on-topic content. Backlinks added and spread over 5 weeks: Built 58 backlinks to the core domain (21 x PR7, 25 x PR6, 12 x PR5) (all backlinks came from pages with <30 OBL and pages that were free of common spam words) Built 25 satellite web 2.0 sites (not interlinked) which themselves have been augmented with powerful PR5 links. I mean this thread to be a journal for the experiment and I'll record any further developments here. Micallef.

For immediate release:
August 14, 2015
Ottawa – Eastern Ontario's first fully accessible baseball diamond and sports facility opened today when Mayor Jim Watson cut the ribbon at the Miracle League Field, located at Notre-Dame-des-Champs Park on Navan Road.
"Every child deserves a safe environment where they can play, have fun and be a kid," said Mayor Watson. "This facility provides children with special needs, young adults and adults the opportunity to play the game of baseball."
Mayor Watson was joined by Innes Councillor Jody Mitic, Royal Galipeau, Member of Parliament for Ottawa-Orléans, Marie-France Lalonde, Member of Provincial Parliament for Ottawa-Orléans, David Gourlay, President of the Miracle League of Ottawa, and Robert Witchel, Executive Director of the Jays Care Foundation.
The Miracle League of Ottawa is a non-profit organization that has worked with the City to build a baseball field and playground for children with disabilities. The Miracle League Field is wheelchair accessible and has a rubberized surface to provide a consistent, accessible and safe playing surface for young athletes with disabilities.
The facility is the dream of 12-year-old Bryce Desrochers and his parents Rolly and Michelle. Bryce was born with cerebral palsy, but he would like to play sports like any other child. The project includes a field house, which also opened today, and a playground which will be installed in 2016.
The City of Ottawa has supplied the land and is providing funding for up to 50 per cent of the total $1.6 million project cost through the Community Partnership Major Capital Program.
"What began as the dream of a 12-year-old boy has grown into a tremendous accomplishment for the City and a dream come true for thousands," said David Gourlay, President of the Miracle League of Ottawa. "Many hands and many organizations have come together to make this day a reality and I want to thank each and every one of them."
Several organizations and all three levels of government have contributed to funding including: the City of Ottawa, the Jays Care Foundation, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Malhotra Family Foundation, the Progressive Waste Solutions / Friends of The Mer Bleue Community Fund, the Government of Canada, the Rotary Clubs of Orléans, Ottawa, South Ottawa and Rotary District 7040, Kraft Canada, Motion Specialties, The Champions for Ottawa Baseball, the Telus Community Fund, Pathway Hyundai, the Tunis Shriners Ottawa, and Trinity Development Group Inc.
The Miracle League of Ottawa has also partnered with the Ottawa Children's Treatment Centre, which will use the field and playground for rehabilitation and programming for more than 4,000 children in the nation's capital who have physical or mental disabilities.

Folding ladders have become, pretty much, the standard fare in almost every handyman's roster. So far, though, I've never really seen anything that folds as compact and as cleverly as the Corner Ladder.
Designed by Company Company, it looks like a standard twin ladder at first glance, with two columns of steps leaning on each other at an angle. Once put away for storage, though, it folds into a long and narrow panel measuring a mere 9 x 10 x 172 cm.
The Corner Ladder manages the space-saving transformation by putting hinges on each of the rungs, allowing the outside poles to fold in toward each other. Construction is beech wood, with brass hinges and an attached cord at the base that you can use to secure the entire thing when folded.
Yep, the design is gorgeous. With multiple hinges on each rung, though, it's a little hard to trust this thing holding your weight, especially if you're the handyman type who ate a little too many stuffed burgers and drank a few too many sodas in your day (and by "your day," we mean everyday).
Whether Corner Ladder will just stay a concept or become an actual product, is still to be seen. We would be excited to see this cool product in real life and won't mind seeing heavyset man standing in the top rung just for science!

The chief executive of PPR, the French company acquiring Puma, was named chairman of the athletic apparel maker's supervisory board, the company said Tuesday.
Francois-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of French retail Group PPR, replaced Johann C. Lindenberg, whose term expired last week. The supervisory board is the U.S. equivalent of a board of directors.
PPR is buying Puma in a 5.3 billion euros ($7.1 billion) takeover of the German sporting goods company.
Shares of Puma were down 0.16% to 330.51 euros ($442.98) in Frankfurt trading.

Getting there
British Airways (0844 493 0787; www.ba.com) and Air Canada (0871 220 1111; www.aircanada.com) fly non-stop to Vancouver, but for cut-price options, plus hotel, flight-hotel or ski deals, contact specialist Canadian Affair (020 7616 9184 or 0141 223 7517; www.canadianaffair.com), with departures from London, Manchester and Glasgow.
For escorted tours, Titan HiTours (0800 988 5823; www.titanhitours.co.uk) has a range of tours that often combine the city with the Rockies, Victoria or rail journeys.
Getting around
The SkyTrain (C$10/£6 one-way; www.translink.ca) light railway runs from the airport to downtown, where most key sights are within easy walking distance. Be sure to travel from downtown to North Vancouver on the SeaBus ($3.75): the vast catamaran ferry offers superb views of the port and downtown's glittering skyline. A DayPass for all transit (except the airport link) costs $9.
Further information
More on Vancouver at www.tourismvancouver.com, which, among other things, allows you to book accommodation. For more on Canada in general, visit www.canada.travel.
The inside track
Must-see sights on a short visit, or en route to skiing in Whistler, are Granville Island, which has one of North America's finest markets; Stanley Park, near-wilderness right in the city; and the Museum of Anthropology, a dynamic modern museum with a wonderful collection of Native Canadian art and artefacts.
Best viewpoints in a scenic city are Grouse Mountain (see below), but arrive early to beat long queues for the cable-cars; SeaBus; and the Harbour Centre (www.vancouverlookout.com).
There is great sushi everywhere, and it can be terrific value. Try a local's favourite like Kaide in Yaletown (1375 Richards Street; 681 5886; www.kaidesushi.com).
Stanley Park is best seen on foot or bike – hire a bike from one of a handful of outlets near the park entrance on the corner of Denman and West Georgia streets such as Spokes (www.vancouverbikerental.com). Then cycle all or some of the seven-mile Seawall promenade around the park's perimeter.
Winter sports
Grouse Mountain (www.grousemountain.com) is the closest of the city's three ski hills (just 15 minutes' drive) and has 26 runs, 14 night runs, four chairlifts, two terrain parks, and six miles of snowshoe trails; passes from $55. Further afield, Whistler is 90 minutes by car or shuttle bus from the airport or downtown (www.perimeterbus.com). In Britain, Inghams (020 8780 7734; www.inghams.co.uk/whistler) has offers for Whistler ski packages booked before November 15. Crystal (0871 231 5677; www.crystalski.co.uk) also offers Whistler packages, along with resorts such as Fernie or Panorama that can be accessed from Vancouver
The best hotels
Ideally, you should aim to be as close to the central downtown area as you can. A good option for families or longer stays are the apartment hotels along the main Robson Street: try Robsonstrasse (001 604 687 1674; www.robsonstrassehotel.com; from £65) or Blue Horizon (688 1411; www.bluehorizonhotel.com; from £92).
Kingston Hotel £
Clean, well-run, with rooms with private and shared facilities; on the east of downtown (684 9024; www.kingstonhotelvancouver.com; from £55).
Sylvia £-££
Pretty, ivy-covered 1912 "heritage" building on the beach and moments from Stanley Park, but not so handy for central downtown; rooms at a wide variety of rates (681 9321; www.sylviahotel.com; from £90).
The Shangri-La £££
New high-rise; good for service and all-round swishness. Its restaurant, Market by Jean-Georges, has some of the city's most creative cooking (689 1120; www.shangri-la.com; from £171).
The Opus £££
Fashion-conscious, well-run, modern place, and the best bet for the chic Yaletown area, a former warehouse district, but not convenient for central downtown (642 6787; www.opushotel.com; from £210). By contrast, if you want a central, traditional hotel, the city's classic is the historic Hotel Vancouver (684 3131; www.fairmont.com; from £204).
The best restaurants
Vancouver has several fine chains, notably Earls, White Spot and Cactus Club, offering good-value and excellent food in pleasant, informal surroundings. Earls downtown (1185 Robson St near Bute Street; 669 0020; www.earls.ca) is the first choice for a perfect, mid-price meal.
Gallery Café £
Delightful, modern spot in downtown for snacks or informal light lunch; part of the Vancouver Art Gallery (750 Hornby Street; 688 2233).
Gastown ££
Two places rise above the rest in touristy Gastown: Incendio (103 Columbia St; 688 8694; www.incendio.ca) for pizzas, pastas and salads, and the Water Street Café (300 Water Street; 689 2832; www.waterstreetcafevancouver.ca), which is particularly pleasant for lunch.
Pink Pearl £
Classic Chinese: big, fun, bustling and authentic, however it's located in a dingy part of town (1132 East Hastings Street; 253 4316; www.pinkpearl.com), so take a taxi. The best of the smarter Chinese places are Sun Sui Wah (3888 Main Street; 872 8822; www.sunsuiwah.com) or the more central Kirin Mandarin (1166 Alberni Street; 682 8833; www.kirinrestaurants.com).
Cioppino's £££
Lovely cherrywood interior and fine French- and Italian-influenced food; Cioppino's is perfect for a treat in Yaletown. For some of the city's best fish and seafood, visit the nearby Blue Water Café&Raw Bar (1095 Hamilton Street; 688 8078; www.bluewatercafe.net).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marine is a 2006 American action film directed by John Bonito. The film stars John Cena, Robert Patrick and Kelly Carlson. It was produced by the films division of WWE, called WWE Studios, and distributed in the United States by 20th Century Fox.
In Iraq, John Triton (John Cena) of the United States Marine Corps is closing in on an al-Qaeda hideout, where a group of terrorists are preparing to behead several hostages. Disregarding direct orders to wait for reinforcement, Triton attacks the extremists and rescues the hostages. The next morning, his colonel informs Triton that he is being honorably dischargedfor disobeying direct orders.
Home from Iraq, Triton finds it hard to settle back in to normal life. He is fired from his job as a security guard for using excessive force on an employee's ex-boyfriend and his bodyguards. Triton's wife Kate (Kelly Carlson) decides the two need a vacation to help Triton adjust to his new life. Meanwhile, criminal Rome (Robert Patrick) robs a jewelry store with his gang: girlfriend Angela (Abigail Bianca), Morgan (Anthony Ray Parker), Vescera (Damon Gibson), and Bennett (Manu Bennett). Rome is in collusion with an anonymous partner, with whom he is planning on sharing the profits from the diamonds. On the run, the gang stops at a gas station where Triton and Kate have stopped. When two policemen arrive to buy gas, Morgan shoots and kills one of the officers, causing Rome to shoot the other officer while Angela kills the gas station attendant. When Triton reacts to Kate being kidnapped, Bennett knocks him out. Triton regains consciousness and gives chase in the policemen's car. The chase leads to a lake, where Triton falls out of the patrol car and into the lake, seemingly to his death.
Rome and his gang walk through a swamp to avoid the police. Kate tries to escape several times. Triton emerges from the lake to find Detective Van Buren, who is pursuing the gang. Van Buren denies Triton permission to pursue the gang, but Triton heads into the swamp anyway. After an altercation between Morgan and Vescera, Rome decides to kill Vescera. Rome gets a call from his anonymous partner, and Rome tells him that he intends to cut the partner out of the deal.
The gang arrives at a lodge and decide to rest there for the time being. Meanwhile, Triton is kidnapped by two fugitives who believe he is a police officer looking for them. He subdues them and tracks the gang to the lodge. He kills Morgan and Bennett then drags the bodies under the lodge, where he again meets Detective Van Buren.
Kate rushes out of the lodge, but Angela attacks and recaptures her. Meanwhile, Triton enters the lodge and finds himself face-to-face with Rome and his gun. Van Buren enters the room but points his gun at Triton, revealing himself to be the anonymous partner. Rome opens fire on Triton, who uses Van Buren as a human shield, killing him. Rome makes his escape and joins up with Angela and Kate before firing at a gasoline tank and blowing up the lodge. Triton makes a narrow escape, having been blown into the swamp.
Rome escapes in Van Buren's car, but abandons it due to a police tracking device. Angela seduces then kills a truck driver for his truck. Triton is arrested by a marine patrol officer, but steals the officer's vessel after handcuffing him. He races to the marina that is Rome's destination, jumping on Rome's truck, throwing Angela into the windshield of an oncoming bus, killing her and spilling the diamonds. Rome scrapes Triton off the truck by driving into the side of a building, careening through a warehouse, then leaps out just before the truck crashes into a lake. Triton then stumbles out, leaving Rome in the fiery warehouse, then rescues Kate, who is drowning in the truck. A badly-burned Rome returns and tries to choke Triton with a chain. Triton kills Rome by breaking his neck with the chain. The film ends with Triton and Kate kissing as the police arrive.

When was the last time someone died from being under the influence of weed? In fact, when was the last time someone had an adverse symptom from weed? Driving under the influence of alcohol has gotten many teens and adults into accidents and alcohol poisoning causes liver failure. Many people don't even know that weed doesn't make you sick unless you smoke tens of thousands of joints at one time.
So, I don't do either personally because both can be bad for your health, but if I had to choose I would choose weed.
Every 53 minutes on average, someone is killed in a drunk driving crash (9,878 people in total in 2011). With weed going 3 miles an hour is according to my hippie uncle, like going race car fast. It's safer to drive while high than it is drunk.
I am under the impression that people tend to do more damage to society when they are drunk. Should we all be following the ways of Amsterdam? I'm also pretty sure drinking does more damage to your insides, especially drinking spirits. I think it's ironic how we accept people absolutely hammered in the streets causing chaos, then point our fingers at the quiet ones at home or in a cafe smoking weed. Legalization?
It is far better to just do a low dose edible if you want the reward of that little escape than to get lost in a bottle of booze. I do pot like I used to do alcohol , 2 to 3 times a week after I have completed my chores etc. then I have a gummy. Its euphoric, and very relaxing, I can munch all I want because I'm not filling up on alcohol, movies are more fun and when I'm finished I just go to bed and fall asleep to the TV. I sleep like a log , have very entertaining dreams and wake up feeling great. Its much cheaper and so much healthier on your body. Plus its a high in itself knowing you are doing your body good instead of bad
Cannabis is a natural non-habit forming sedative and anti-depressant. Alcohol on the other hand can be addictive and is a long term depressant. When consuming high doses of cannabis. (per say 5 bong hits ) you can't possibly overdose and won't have a need to consume more. With alcohol most become dependent on a certain levels, and once your blood/alcohol level is 0.45% there is a chance you could OD . Also alcohol causes lymphnode, testicular, liver, and esophagus cancer. The hangovers are never fun either.
I used to drink but now having something to compare it to, I hate drinking. Alcohol hurts my veins and I wake up after feeling so off/depressed. With smoking I smoke, go to bed and wake up fine. I smoke like I used to drink. .. After work, before bed. Can't smoke and function during the day, but I couldn't do that with alcohol earlier. And smoking is so much cheaper. 60 dollars last a week with smoking. 60 is a bar tab for one night ..
Alcohol is poison. Weed is a beautiful healing plant given to us by God. Weed lifts the spirit, alcohol numbs it. Weed is life and experience-enhancing. Alcohol is life-numbing and makes you feel like crap. Sobriety in all cases is best. But if you're going to enjoy one, weed is the way to go.
Alcohol just makes me feel tired, slow, uncoordinated, and sometimes depressed. I can understand getting drunk with a big group of people because it alcohol can turn you into a social butterfly (at least for me), but if I'm just at home alone or with a few friends, I much prefer the relaxation, the giggles, and just the overall feelings that come with being high. Also, not having a hangover the next day is a huge plus!
I am very, very pro-weed legalization, but bud was more of a high school thing for me. Eventually I got bored of it, and at this point in my life I barely smoke, I drink excessively, and I would much rather be drunk than stoned. Alcohol is the nectar of the gods, but if you prefer weed, enjoy that too
Now, don't get me wrong. I actually used to smoke weed a lot back in my university years and yes, I should admit I've had lots of amazing experiences with it including increasing sensitivity to music/art, more subtle and discerning perception of reality, profound philosophical conversations with my friends etc. However, I got nothing else but horrible anxiety attacks and paranoia like feelings when I occasionally smoked it later in my life. Things with pot, which I now find insidious and only seemingly harmless, changed drastically for me. And so what I would have probly described as a wonderful dreamlike state of consciousness, back when I was a university student, turned into something unpleasantly weird and scary just a few years later, unfortunately. Plus derealization. Plus depression. And many more negative effects.
If you guys already have panic attacks, weed is quite likely to make them worse, if you are predisposed to some mental illnesses (and say you're sane and ok now), there's quite a chance you'll end up psychotic after smoking weed some day.
And again, I am not trying to speak against marijuana use, it's your personal choice and it's your own life at the end of the day. However, the sad thing is, weed has become so popular over the recent years or even decades that people actually forget that it's a mild PSYCHEDELIC and it possibly has a potential of changing your perception of reality to quite a significant degree.
On the other hand, I can only say positive things about alcohol if using it IN MODERATION. Doesn't make me feel bizarre or anxious. Helps to relax. Gives inspiration for writing and playing songs (which I, surprisingly, never experienced while being high on weed, though, I did actually enjoy listening to music then, as mentioned previously). Helps have fun when socializing.
Anyway, what I have said here, indeed, can be a hard pill to swallow, especially for potheads. But it's just the way it is and, even taking into consideration that I'm talking about my personal experiences with both substances, I do assume there's a lot of people who have experienced the same.
It is far better to just do a low dose edible if you want the reward of that little escape than to get lost in a bottle of booze. I do pot like I used to do alcohol , 2 to 3 times a week after I have completed my chores etc. then I have a gummy. Its euphoric, and very relaxing, I can munch all I want because I'm not filling up on alcohol, movies are more fun and when I'm finished I just go to bed and fall asleep to the TV. I sleep like a log , have very entertaining dreams and wake up feeling great. Its much cheaper and so much healthier on your body. Plus its a high in itself knowing you are doing your body good instead of bad
I have nothing against weed or the legalization movement, in fact I support it, but personally weed is just not for me. I would rather drink for many reasons. With weed i'm the type of person that will get very paranoid and uncomfortable. I've experimented with it many times, and I've really tried my hardest to enjoy it's effects (cause I legitimately do wanna be able to enjoy it the way I see everybody else enjoy it), but I've come to the conclusion that it's just not for me. This may be due to the fact that I have alot of anxiety and when i'm under the influence of weed it brings it all to the surface and I've had panic attacks while stoned. Some people cant handle their liquor, but that's not the case for me. I can't handle my weed. With alcohol it has the opposite effect on me. It takes away anxiety and allows me to just relax and unwind. I get very uplifted and after a few drinks and it gets much easier for me to socialize and be comfortable around people, as opposed to with weed where I get extremely antisocial and cant even form complete sentences. Just in general I really enjoy the effects alcohol brings me. I wish I could say the same for weed, but at the end of the day it's just not my drug.
Both are bad but at least the alcholic can be productive at work during the day. Those that are high can't function and only maintain the status quo of life. They are those that never grow to become something better and bigger.
They are both bad for your health and you shouldn't take anything that impairs you judgement. Those that have impaired judgement are the harm to society.
I prefer living life without either booze or weed. If you need to get high or stoned to enjoy life, you have a problem with life.
I stopped smoking weed after about ten years in 1981 and stopped drinking booze about 8 years ago in 2006.
I waited until my senior year in college to smoke weed in 1971. I actually wasn't exposed to weed that much because at Bradley University, very few people smoked weed in 1968 through 1971, at least not in the crowd I ran with. I was drunk a few times in high school, but since it interfered with being in sports, I rarely drank. In college we drank a lot on weekends, but rarely during school nights. Nobody did binge drinking during that period. You did not setup ten shots in a row and see if you could drink them. Beer bongs had not been invented.
What I liked about booze is that you can have a couple of drinks and not be stoned or drunk; unfortunately for me, I began drinking too much and too often. I followed in my father's footsteps; he was an alcoholic and died at 42 year of age, when I was 15. Lots and lots of booze and smoking three packs of unfiltered Camels daily destroyed his heart. It took me over thirty years to realize that drinking in excess or drinking booze at all was pointless. So, I just quit completely.
I got tired of weed because you can't be a little stoned. You smoke weed to get stoned, and it can only take a few hits if you have really premo weed. Sitting around in a daze being stoned got boring; and sex for me while stoned was not as much fun; still fun, but not as much fun. You can drink booze in moderation for hours and not be drunk and have a mellow feeling.
Most of my hippie friends in the 1970s drank in excess, smoked pot in excess, took LSD and some did coke. So to say weed does not lead to harder drugs is nonsense; it doesn't always led to harder drugs, but in many cases it does; it did not in my case. For example, I never did any other illegal drug except pot and I have an addictive compulsive personality.
But the problem with both weed and booze is that you can get addicted and do too much.
My wife can have a couple of glasses of wine over a five hour period at night and she is happy. She is never drunk. Sometimes, she doesn't drink for weeks. Many people I know drink like that in moderation. My wife has never smoked weed or done any other drugs.
Anyway, clean and sober is the best way to live life.

text: Has anybody used BuyRefs to get signups to their affiliate offers? I have a free offer that pays $4.50 per lead. So basically I would be making a 200% ROI. As US signups cost about $2.25. I mean it seems to me that if the site works I could simply buy leads everyday. I have heard some people say it takes a while to deliver, but it still should work. Has anyone used this site at all? Thanks -teenmoney

'Sisters' opens with B-roll of Katie and Jenny interacting; Katie expresses frustration that Jenny does not want to be filmed, we hear Jenny's nurse in the background saying "You're a rockstar…you have to be filmed!" This takes us into our opening titles, with V/O from Katie introducing us to herself and her role as both a film student and a big sister. The V/O runs into Katie's dad clapping the slate, which takes us into our title credit and then into the story proper.
We wrap up the story with B-roll of Katie entering Ex'pression and explaining that "imagination is the great love of my life" and expressing gratitude that she is able to pursue her artistic aspirations as an Ex'pression student. She says, "Jenny loves me unconditionally and there's not much more you can ask for than that as a human being." This takes us into our closing credits.
We will have appropriate musical cues for intro. and end credits.

It seems that parts of Leamington now have the Gfast 2 upgrade this allows up to 300 megabit download and 30 megabit upload at 47 per month
Note this is the theoretical max so actual speed depends on the distance to the cabinet and uses the existing copper end loop so more like an interim upgrade until full fibre to premises is released which may take some time due to the expenses involved
Currently BT and Talktalk sell this product as ultra fast 2 and EE are selling as fibre max and including an itroductory offer of BT home Wifi wireless network included , I dare say other providors will follow.
The Cabinets that have been upgraded look a bit odd and have an extention overhanging the side such as the one in Leamington Spa on the Old Milverton Road between the newsagent and the Vauxall Garage.
(I'll add a picture here later)
Hopefully as last time this will come to Warwick in the next 9 months and other areas soon.
