Only 22 States Have Not Yet Legalized Medical Marijuana
Twenty-eight states have legalized medical cannabis, meaning the United States has crossed the halfway point in the number of states that have approved the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes. As more and more states join the so-called "Green Revolution" in the US, the rate at which more move to legalize medical cannabis has increased exponentially.
Though both medical and recreational cannabis use remain illegal at the federal level, many states in the US have adopted a more liberal attitude toward the plant. California was the first state to legalize medical use in 1996, followed closely by Alaska, Oregon, and Washington in 1998. Since then, other states have modeled their own medical cannabis programs off these flagship programs, which have demonstrated successful licensing, taxing, and selling practices.
2016 proved to be a monumental year for cannabis. Voters in nine different states saw legalization on the ballot, and on November 8, voters in Florida, Arkansas, and North Dakota approved extensive medical cannabis programs, while Montana voters approved commercial cultivation and dispensaries, resurrecting the medical program in their state. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, congressional bills legalized medical marijuana in 2016.
After such a notable year, experts in a number of industries have high hopes for the future of cannabis in the United States. At the federal level, there is little chance, especially under the new presidential administration, that much movement will occur in regards to legalization. At the state level, on the other hand, the legalization movement is not expected to lose any steam.
Medical cannabis supporters have four additional states that have decriminalized marijuana use in the past, but have not yet successfully passed any ballot initiatives to legalize medicinal use of the plant, on their radars. North Carolina, Nebraska, Missouri, and Mississippi are among the top contenders to see medical cannabis on the ballot next.
Legalization by any of these four states in the near future would not only make medical cannabis more widely accessible to patients, but would help extend the legalization movement into somewhat uncharted territories. With the exception of Florida and Arkansas, much of the southern United States has yet to legalize medical marijuana; the additions of North Carolina and Mississippi to the list of medical programs could help ignite legalization among other southern states. The Midwest is another area that has little representation in the legalization movement. Approved medical programs in Missouri and Nebraska could be the motivation other Midwestern states need to initiate their own programs.
There are a variety of issues that continue to challenge those working within the legal cannabis industry, which unfortunately tend to affect the patients who have been waiting to test marijuana's therapeutic properties. The medical industry achieved incredible success in recent years because of federal reforms put in place under former President Obama. It is impossible to say whether or not the same cooperation will be shown between state regulations and federal regulations as the federal government transitions to accommodate its new leadership. But, the hope is that as the legalization movement continues to spread and scientific research supports the use of medical cannabis, and that cooperation will persist, allowing the medical cannabis industry to flourish.
The medical cannabis industry is quickly becoming a solid investment. Furthermore, investing in the space helps advance medical technologies that could benefit countless patients. To learn more about the services First Harvest Financial offers, visit http://www.firstharvestfinancial.com

Recalling summer 2013
Author: - August 12, 2013 - Updated: August 12, 2013
The group HOLLOW Speak (which stands for Hollywood Only Listens and Learns Once We Speak) is circulating the following petition hoping to recall from theaters a number of massively expensive 2013 summer Hollywood blockbusters (movies that cost between $150 million and a $bazillion to make and market) that have failed to live up to their cinematic obligations. Although these movies lost at the box office, we are not confident that Hollywood will get the message and provide intelligent, more diverse summer output.
So, we are asking that you please sign this petition, but be sure to have a valid ID, such as a ticket stub, an empty (or semi-empty) bag of popcorn, or 3D glasses. Proof of residency in Orange County, Calif., is not required.
There is no requirement that you have actually seen these films or have viewed their entire running times, only that you were intending to reside in seats for these features and perhaps even looked forward to some of them before they left the theaters.
This petition language has been approved by the Secretary of Cinema. Any missing language is due to space limitations and is not cause for Hollywood to seek to challenge the validity of this recall petition, nor can such challenge be based on foreign box office receipts, revenue from subsidiary promotional tie-ins, or any other attempts at creative accounting, uncreative expectations for sequels and franchises, or chimerical positive word-of-mouth.
The Petition:R.I.P.D.:
R.I.P.D., starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds about expired cops' busting rambunctious spirits wreaking havoc in the here and now, has failed to represent the interests of its cinematic constituents by taking direction from the Men in Black movies, stealing that franchise's tone and tenor, and thereby does not represent the needs and interests of cinematic citizens in original entertainment. Despite having sworn to provide such entertainment value and uphold the Constitution of the Cinema, it has shown contempt for the cinematic liberties of the people it seeks to attract.
Its plot was drafted so as to be a melding of comic book superhero films and Men in Black, with significant input from the comedic mismatched buddy-cop genre. As such, it has shifted attention to familiar and well-worn manufactured output and from innovate opportunities that such a scenario rightfully presented. Additionally, Bridges's swaggering cowboy character that he has perfected in many other performances subverts the cinematic rights of citizens by constraining their imaginings and shows contempt for their ability to enjoy this actor's purported range. Its abuse of precedent and its failure to respect the rights and interests of its constituents necessitates its recall from theaters as the only reasonable and available means to defend the inalienable liberties of filmgoers for original, satisfactory entertainment.
General statement of grounds for recall of After Earth:
Whereas After Earth has sworn to uphold the Constitution of the Cinema, it is our opinion it has blatantly disregarded its oath. It has infringed upon our cinematic rights to be free of repetitively hokey, sentimental father-and-son depictions starring Will and Jaden Smith, and depopulated earth scenarios akin to I Am Legend, et al. In so doing, it has resulted in making it less safe to drive to theaters and has limited, denied or otherwise refused to hear testimony from moviegoers holding views incompatible with its own regarding the acting chops of son Jaden. So cavalier is it toward the filmmaking process that it suggests we flip a coin to decide whether M. Night Shyamalan should continue to make movies like this that cost millions of dollars and possess shaggy-dog themes with faux-Spielbergian cutesiness, or even make them at all. It has offended the sensibilities of cinephiles by openly insulting their intelligence.
In these instances and more, in word and image, After Earth has turned its back on us citizens of cinema and our Constitution. It is clear After Earth has dishonored its sworn oath and commitment. Accordingly, we the moviegoers must exercise our right to recall After Earth from theaters.
General statement of grounds for recall of The Lone Ranger:
Hi-ho stinker, away!
General statement of grounds for recall of White House Down:
White House Down has stated that it does not support reform of the disaster, blow-up-the-White-House thematic structure that has been seen so many times before and especially by director Roland Emmerich and thereby ignores the rights of moviegoers to be free of such tiresome depictions. In order to avoid demonstrating continued hostility and contempt for the fundamental Constitutional cinematic rights and liberties of its constituents to defend themselves, by eye-patches and earplugs if necessary, suffice it to say that White House Down should be recalled immediately from theaters — that's right, let's not wait for any expensive election!
General statement of grounds for recall of Pacific Rim:
Two words: Transformers; Godzilla. Repeal! Or run away!
General statement of grounds for recall of Turbo:
Two words (or rather one word and an acronym): Snail; NASCAR. By ludicrously combining two wildly disparate concepts in a way that is outlandish and inconceivable even for cutesy pie animated fare, Turbo has betrayed the trust of its intended constituents — namely little kids who love busy, colorful images to keep and hold their attention — and instead supports a plot intended to exhaust and confound adult citizens and deprive both adults and kids of the very entertainment it has sworn to uphold and defend.
Turbo has betrayed the trust of its constituents, its oath to uphold the Pixar Amendment to the Constitution of the Cinema (a standard of animated quality, intelligence, wit and fun), and the rights of parents by voting YES on the story pitch to have a tiny, fragile snail speed along a thunderous race track among massive stock cars with iron-block, overhead-valve (non-overhead cam) V8 engines producing about 800 to 850 horsepower at 9,000 to 9,300 rpm. Its failure to recognize this folly necessitates its recall from theaters as the only reasonable and available means to defend sane movie-going and the future of summer movie fare for years to come.
Please sign below (space has been provided for you to add other 2013 summer films that should be recalled even if they cost a mere pittance); we'll get you started with a partial list:
Grown Ups 2
The Smurfs 2
Doug Young is the award-winning film critic for The Colorado Statesman. He was appointed to this position many years ago and can never be recalled. He is also the senior policy director in Gov. John Hickenlooper's Office of Policy and Research.

This a nice, clean, and slightly clinical tattoo animation with some beautiful tribal style.
Something sensual and poetic I really love in this video. Probably mixed to to some nostalgy for all the years I spent in graphic design and moving image before I go in to tattoo.
I believe tattoos are emotions, tattoos influence emotions, our view of the past, the present and the future. Like a woman hand on my body. Alive, she can feel what is within me… I can feel what is within her… The skin is alive.. reflecting what we feel inside and the world around us… long life to the senses…

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) — The man who allegedly dumped a cup of bed bugs at the Augusta City Center office pleaded not guilty to charges of misdemeanor assault and obstructing government administration.
Charles Manning appeared in Capitol Judicial Center court room Monday morning. He faces a penalty of up to one year in prison and a $2,000 fine.
Manning talked to NEWS CENTER Monday outside the court house ahead of his arraignment saying he felt like he was about to be "executed" before his first court appearance, going on to say the public already finds him guilty due to the way he's been "portrayed by the media."
Manning said he is currently staying at Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter in Waterville. Manning expressed frustration to the judge and asked him to throw out his case.
Manning told the judge that he has been portrayed in the media as the "reincarnation of Hitler" because of the influence of the city staff at the government office where the incident happened.
According to the city's Director of Development, Matt Nazar, Manning came to the general assistance office on Friday, June 2 to request help with a bed bug problem.
He left after being told there was no help available through that office. Nazar said the man returned later that afternoon and dumped more than 100 bed bugs out of a cup onto the counter. Manning would later admit he was in the wrong office to begin with, and was actually targeting the General Assistance Department.
Kennebec County District Attorney, Meagan Maloney said the assault charge came because a bed bug landed on a city worker.
"That's an assault whether it's throwing down a container of bed bugs and having the bed bugs hit the person, whether it's throwing an open container of beer and having beer splash on someone. So it's simply looking at the actions. The actions are offensive physical contact," she said.
City hall shut down so the bed bugs could be removed and didn't reopen until Monday, June 5. Maloney said questions about Manning's responsibility and capability to cover the cost of the cleaning will be addressed as part of the legal process.
Manning is scheduled for a dispositional conference September 19. He has applied for a court appointed lawyer.

|Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare pulmonary disorder, manifests as an abnormal neoplastic growth of smooth muscle-like cells within the lungs. Mutational inactivation of tumor suppressor tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) in LAM constitutively activates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/p70 S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) signaling pathway and promotes neoplastic growth of LAM cells. In many cell types, type I interferon beta (IFNbeta) inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis through signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)-dependent and STAT-independent signaling pathways, one of which is the mTOR/S6K1 signaling pathway. Our study shows that IFNbeta is expressed in LAM tissues and LAM-derived cell cultures; however, IFNbeta attenuates LAM-derived cell proliferation only at high concentrations, 100 and 1000 U/ml (IC(50) value for IFNbeta is 20 U/ml compared with 1 U/ml for normal human mesenchymal cells, human bronchus fibroblasts and human airway smooth muscle cells). Likewise, IFNbeta only attenuates proliferation of smooth muscle TSC2-null ELT3 cells. Analysis of IFNbeta signaling in LAM cells showed expression of IFNbeta receptor alpha (IFNbetaRalpha) and IFNbetaRbeta, activation and nuclear translocation of STAT1, and phosphorylation of STAT3 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but IFNbeta had little effect on S6K1 activity. However, the re-expression of TSC2 or inhibition of mTOR/S6K1 with rapamycin (sirolimus) augmented antiproliferative effects of IFNbeta in LAM and TSC2-null ELT3 cells. Our study demonstrates that IFNbeta-dependent activation of STATs and p38 MAPK is not sufficient to fully inhibit proliferation of cells with TSC2 dysfunction and that TSC2-dependent inhibition of mTOR/S6K1 cooperates with IFNbeta in inhibiting human LAM and TSC2-null ELT3 cell proliferation.

Hello! I figured since this is the first post of my "sketchbook" as well as the first post on this site, I should probably introduce myself. My names Rebecca, or Rae, from Texas. I'm an Animation major, nearly ready to graduate (thank the Gods), but still quite infatuated with the still, 2-d mediums. In fact, you might say its a rather torrid love affair much to the annoyance of my 3-d teachers.
I've been rather sheepish when thinking of joining this community, mostly due to its reputed hatred of anime, manga, and Deviantart in general, which happen to be three things I enjoy, albeit with some reservations. Of course, what's reputed isn't necessarily true, so I figured I'd give it a shot, after all it seems like people actually give creative criticism here which I am in desperate need of.
Have I made enough of an arse of myself yet? XD heh. Anyway, i picked out a couple sketches to start myself off with, annnd I'll go from here.

"... It is that the accommodation is on GODS part. That presents real problems to me."
Scriptural inspiration does not involve accommodation on God's part. When God inspires writing, he is as true as ever. But the inspired writer cannot perceive God fully and accurately. His erroneous preconceptions and dare I say sin cloud his perceptions, so that what he writes is not the full truth but truth distorted by his own imperfections. His writing is nevertheless inspired by God in the sense that what he writes is closer to the truth than other versions of reality extant at the time of writing. Gen. 1-11 is far more truthful than the Babylonian stories of creation and flood, and it is truthful enough to enable the people of the time to come into a salutary relationship with God. If a more accurate story of creation had been necessary to maintain that relationship, then I trust God would have given them one. As it turned out, Gen. 1-11 was adequate and has been so until just yesterday.
God accommodates, but his accommodation is of persons: it lies in his willingness to accept people in their imperfections and misconceptions; and he clearly does not insist that they be perfect in order to come into a salutary relationship with him. I believe that if God had insisted that all the people back then had to have accurate info about him and his creation that he would have blown his prospects for relationship. That's not God's failure but evidence of human limitations.
Scriptural inspiration is basically a flawed, imperfect process; but it is not so because God is transmitting false info but rather because the inspired writers can't apprehend the full truth.
So how can we distinguish Truth from cultural artifact in Scripture? First of all, this distinguishing is not very important for one who lives in a salutary personal relationship with God. The important question for him is whether or not Scripture brings him close to God or separates him from God. But I know you hate that kind of answer. Another answer: through scholarship and research: We study the world and the texts and the environments in which inspired writers wrote, and we draw conclusions. Few such conclusions can be very firm, but they're probably the best that humans can do. So the "existential" route is far more satisfying. And more real.
How do we know that Islam is not superior? Well, the Qur'an contradicts important parts of the Bible, especially those pertaining to the divinity of Christ; so if one accepts Christ, he must accept that Islam is inferior. Still, Mohammed accomplished some things we might consider virtuous, such as the elimination of idolatry among his followers and the acknowledgement that the God of the Bible was the true God. I still think that the sons of Ishmael would on the whole have had a difficult time accepting a son of Isaac as divine, as the two lineages were forever fighting one another; but I won't pursue this further here. As to Jesus' statement that "...No one comes to the Father except through me," well, this obviously requires interpretation. For example, in what way did Elijah, Jeremiah, etc. come to God through Jesus? Jesus IMO was obviously thinking of himself as the Word, as one who was a human body but far more.
And let's not judge all Muslims by those who die by murdering civilians or children. We would not want Christianity to be judged by those pious Christian souls who instigated the crusades or carried out various inquisitions and murders in the name of God.
As to why I try to view Islam in the most positive light possible--if God is love, must he not have arranged to save more than a tiny fraction of humans? If we write off the 1.5 billion Chinese and the 1 billion Indians, let's try to squeeze in at least a few of the 1 billion Muslims. Perhaps the Word has spread farther than we think, and God has accommodated himself to more people than we suspect.

This is absolutely true, it is theorem 11 in the original Shannon paper.
But, the problem is that with God's original communication to mankind, I
have not heard anyone discuss what kind of error checking can be done.
In the communication discussion I have noted that there are no parity
bits. A parity bit is a bit put in to detect an error. If I choose odd
parity, then a binary number 0111 will have a parity bit of 0. A binary
number of 0011 will have a parity bit of 1. It makes the number of 1's
in the sent sequence an odd number. So the two numbers would appear as
00111 and 10011 where the first bit is the parity bit. If the computer
were to receive a number 00011, it would know that an error had occurred
and it needed to ask for that packet again. This is the principle.
But we have none of that with God.

Past the initial inspiration, the scribes did engage in error

If it is our accommodations, I have less problem with the concept. We
are obviously wrong in our theological positions in many areas. But
that isn't what is being communicated to me about accommodation. It is
that the accommodation is on GODS part. That presents real problems to

Cholesterol lowering drugs cause muscle pain
Filed under: Research, Spinewave Bulletin
Statins, or cholesterol lowering medications, are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. "Big pharma" would put them in tap water if they could.
Regularly underdiagnosed in clinical trials is what is now termed statin myopathy, or muscle pain caused by statins. Underdiagnosed because in the real world people are on them for longer than in clinical trials and statin toxicity accumulates.
Clinical findings include muscle pain and weakness, mainly in the lower extremities, but also generalised overall muscle pain and weakness. Life-threatening muscle breakdown, known as rhabdomyolysis, and kidney failure can also occur, although rare.
The typical patient with a statin myopathy is usually older, and complains of pain and stiffness in the muscles of their thighs and buttocks. Historically, they have been taking a statin for less than a few months to control elevated cholesterol levels. Most patients will develop muscle symptoms within the first few weeks of taking the statin.
90% of doctors surveyed said they would prescribe statins to any individual that has slightly raised cholesterol and blood pressure, with no other risk factors.
High cholesterol does not equal heart attack. It is quite clear that cardiovascular disease is initiated and driven by ongoing inflammation; this has been known for many years. Cholesterol is only part of the issue, and elevations represent a component of the chronic inflammatory state. So, the focus should be inflammation reduction. Yet more patients are seen taking statins and suffering the consequences of lowered cholesterol production.
Cholesterol is fundamental in membrane function of every cell in your body. Reduced cholesterol infers poor nervous system signalling, depletion of mitochondrial respiratory function (energy production), and reduced delivery of fat substrate to muscle creating muscle pain.
Statin drugs cause three types of muscle conditions. The first type is the most common and consists of mild muscle aching, myalgia, which is generally reversible within weeks of discontinuing the drug. The second type consists of muscle pain and minor muscle weakness associated with mild muscle inflammation, observable on MRI as eodema. The muscle enzyme CPK is generally mildly elevated. This condition also generally reverses, but it may take several months to resolve.
The third type of muscle condition caused by statins is severe muscle inflammation and damage. There is general overall muscle pain involving all parts of the body, with associated severe muscle weakness. Even the cardiac muscles can be involved, though rarely. The CPK enzyme is markedly elevated, indicating that the muscles are severely damaged. Release of proteins from the damaged muscle cells collecting in the blood can damage the kidneys. This condition can lead to kidney failure and require dialysis.
Recommendation: If you are on cholesterol lowering medication and find yourself experiencing muscle pain, speak to your physician or chiropractor. The recommendation is to take a 6-week "statin holiday", commence high doses of pure omega 3 fish oil, and reassess the goal.
Ask yourself: Why are you on the medication, really? What else are you doing to maintain your health? Are you looking at the whole picture? Did you know that cholesterol levels can be elevated with mental stress? Do you have high levels of inflammation in your body?

Australian Greens introduce bill to urgently tackle inequality with an increase to income support payments
The Australian Greens have introduced a bill in the Senate that would increase woefully low Newstart and Youth Allowance payments by $110 a fortnight.
"It is well known that income support payments have failed to increase overtime to reflect modern day cost-of-living. Now anyone accessing Newstart is receiving a grossly low payment that keeps them struggling below the poverty line.
"A single person on Newstart receives just $38 a day – it's simply not enough to get by. The social services sector as well as the tax firm KPMG have called for the payment to be increased so that those seeking work don't fall below the poverty line.
"It is not hard to imagine what people trying to live on these payments could do with the additional money. They will spend it and drive the economy at the same time. This change will bring relief to those on the very lowest rates of income support and assist them out of poverty.
"I hope that those that care about inequality will understand the role that adequate income support payments have in helping to address inequality. I hope they will get behind this bill which will offer relief to some of the nation's poorest".

It's not that Madeira was somewhere I hadn't thought about visiting, it was more that it had a reputation for appealing to a slightly older clientele. I'm not sure why that's the case here in the UK; it certainly didn't seem true for other Nationalities.
Then my favourite travel blogger, Mrs O Around The World visited last year and posted some beautiful photos. And just like that, I fell in love with the place; or more specifically a pool built into the rocks at the edge of the ocean.

Nutritional needs vary by person. The following piece has tips to help you come up with the best nutritional game plan for your needs.
Many people do not consume enough protein, and it is an essential part of a healthy diet. Lean meats are your best choice, like steak. Pork and chicken are great ideas. The reason that protein is important is that it keeps the body from hurting after long workouts and is required in muscle growth.
Proper nutrition includes eating plenty of vegetables and fruits each day. You should have about nine to thirteen servings of vegetables and fruits each day per the USDA. While it might sound like quite a bit, it isn't at all difficult to work them into your diet. For example, enjoy a glass of orange juice for breakfast along with a banana to take care of two servings of fruit at breakfast.
To improve your overall nutrition you should eat a lot of whole grains. When people eat whole grains, it leads to much better health than that which can be had by consuming processed grains. Add in foods to your daily diet that are made of 100% whole grains. Whole grains are very high in dietary fiber and also contain lots of nutrients. The same can't be said of carbohydrates that are refined.
Killing a junk food addiction will greatly assist you in improving the nutritional quality of your diet. A habit of eating junk food can leave a person accustomed to their convenience and taste. You will most likely continue to suffer from cravings from these foods even after you have switched to a much healthier diet. That's why it's crucial to be aware of cravings and to build enthusiasm for healthy alternatives.
Be sure to consume a rainbow of food! The various colors of fruits and vegetables can give you a lot of healthy benefits minus the calories. Include a brightly colored fruit or veggie in all of your meals. Be sure to enjoy the skin if it is edible as it provides the best source of vitamins and antioxidants.
It is important to include food which provide selenium in your diet. The antioxidants in selenium help with tissue elasticity and prevent your skin from aging prematurely. It can help deal with free radicals and even protect from the effects of the sun. There are many foods rich in selenium, such as eggs, garlic, tuna, and more.
To help you get healthy quicker after being sick, it is best that you consume food that is high in zinc. Your immune system will improve if you eat foods rich in zinc. Some good sources of zinc are wheat germ, strawberries, pumpkin seeds, and peaches. As an added bonus, these nutritious treats are often packed with antioxidants.
As you can see, creating a nutritious diet isn't that hard. You now know how to tailor your diet to meet your own needs and improve your diet's current trouble spots. You must have a healthy lifestyle to manage your day-to-day life.

Sprint, this is very true. Expected back in early July, webOS 1.4.5 is just now slowly making its way to the pair of Sprint devices. The carrier has posted a list of what changes the new build will bring, and perhaps the most important is one called "battery optimization" which apparently will extend the life of a phone's power cell. The new build of webOS will also allow users to download podcasts over the web correctly and upgrades Sprint TV to V 3.5.4, which features parental control. A complete changelog can be found at the source link."Better late than never" goes the old saying, and for owners of the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi on
One feature that webOS users were hoping for with the upgrade did not come. Those who were praying that the new OS build would include the software needed to run Flash will just have to hope that it will eventually come to their webOS unit. Earlier, it was discovered that clicking on get.adobe.com/flashplayer from a webOS device brought up a strange app in Palm's Web App Feed called "Conversion". Some had taken it as a sign that the 1.4.5 download would include everything necessary to run Adobe's Flash, but this was not to be the case. An app in Palm's beta feed named "FlashPlayer Beta" also got everyone excited for a brief moment until Palm revealed that what was found was a earlier beta that was not pulled and is not functional on webOS 1.4.x. The manufacturer says it has pushed through an update to have it removed from the feeds.

This week, as part of Many Little Blessings and iHomeschoolNetwork.com 10 in 10 series, we are supposed to focus on our top 10 favorite read alouds. This was hard to narrow down. Greatly influenced by my mother, whose doctoral dissertation was based on her studies of parents reading to children, reading out loud to our children has been a lifetime pleasure. I also learned through experience that reading out loud is not just for little ones. I read to my high school classes when I was teaching and they looked forward to that time every day.

Writing Wednesdays
On the Subject of Fear
By Steven Pressfield | Published: January 19, 2011
[Today's post is an interview with me in fear.less online magazine. If you haven't heard of fear.less, it's a terrific enterprise founded and run by Ishita Gupta and Matt Atkinson, who are two young stars of new media.
[Fear.less appears once a month; it's free; you can sign up via the link above or below. The magazine features interviews with artists and entrepreneurs, where the thrust of the discussion is to probe the individual's inner life on the theme of fear–and the overcoming of it. It's an idea whose time has definitely come, and Ishita and Matt do a tremendous job each month. But enough from me. Below is Ishita's intro text for this month's issue:]
Fear.less's first issue of 2011 is here. After several straight hours of running around screaming with arms raised in triumph, I've sat down to tell you about it. It's a concise and stately installment, quite concerned with creativity. All those new challenges you want to tackle in 2011? All the burnout you may feel from the trials of 2010? This new issue should help. It certainly provided an infusion of energy and rejuvenation for us.
Steven Pressfield is the author of "The War of Art", a monolithic self-help book that Fear.less Ishita has called "the greatest book ever written". He has declared total war on the forces in our minds that resist courage, and his interview draws on inspirations from all walks of life. He is also a Lakers fan, but don't hold that against him.

It's time for Weekend Writing Warriors! Every Sunday, a bunch of writers post 8-sentence snippets from their WIPs on their blogs. There's a lot of reading, commenting and great writing. Click on the link to see the full list.
Recently, Janna learned that she and Anton are on a list of the Empress's most-wanted rebels. Since it's not safe to go back to Janna's family, and Janna's a terrible tavern wench, Maya has arranged for them to live with Maya's sister Zara in another town. Back on the road, Janna explains to Anton why they're in trouble.
"That Empress is a bad person," Anton said. "Why does she want to capture us when we haven't done anything wrong?"
"She's worried that when you grow up, you'll still be angry with her and start trouble."
"She's right about that," Anton said, arranging his face into a grimace.
Janna hid a smile and asked, "So what would you do if you were the Emperor?"
"I would give Moralta independence, first thing."
"They would stop paying taxes to you, you know."
"I'd have palaces full of gold, so I wouldn't need any stupid taxes."
Anton for Emperor!

My sotd happens to be Escada Pour Homme, and it's a wonderful fragrance for cold weather. You get citrus, cognac, spice, wood, musk... It's an allround crowd pleaser at a great price.
Did anyone mention Guerlian Coriolian?
It has a fairly long lasting citrus opening (lemon leaves and bergamot). followed by a great dry down of juniper, patchouli, coriander, nutmeg, absinthe.
On me the citrus lasts longer than most citrus top notes.
It's been discontinued, but easy to find online. According to the BN directory, it has been relaunched as L'Ame d'un Heros.

what about the new Burberry -the beat- ...??? citrus introduction and then a very woody-spicy base, in contrast is fresh and warm at the same time.
If anyone is wondering why I haven't been responding.... it is because I decided to just let everyone suggest things, without me stepping in and saying 'no, that one is no good' or whatever. I'm just going to try as many of these suggestions as I can. Some of them are going to be tricky to test before buying because they are not sold in stores in the UK, but there have been so many great suggestions that I am going to be busy for weeks! Many thanks again everyone.
Hanae Mori - lemony chocolate but very very sweet
Rochas Man - I found it similar to Body Kouros in a way, not the same notes but a similar result without the nauseating aspects of BK
Terre D'Hermes - You said she liked it.

text: Starting with the Northstar 32V V8 that has been the flagship engine choice for Cadillac owner for over 20 years. The days of the gasburner gas guzzling V8 are numbered, and going to be limited in production, even in trucks; ironically this is typical for GM back in the 80's GM conveted a 350 gasburner into a diesel burner. That diesel offered great fuel economy, but poor reliablity our family was living in Flint, Michigan at the time and we had two GM diesel vehicles with the engine's, kept blowing the heads off. GM has come into a new era of high fuel price's that have no sign of changing, and if you pay attention to the underlying "chess game" GM is playing I am willing to bet we are going to see (CGI) V6 &V8 durmax diesel's in everything from Chevrolet Impalas, to the Cadillac's, Hummer H1, H2, and GM trucks. GM already has 17 model diesel cars & trucks in 47 countries around the world; consequently some of those will be coming home to the USA. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/15/gm-announces-clean-diesel-v8-for-pickups-and-the-hummer-h2/

Can I support myself as an original music artist? These 4 ideas can help
It's no big secret that playing and recording original music for a living is an incredibly sexy notion – a thought that provokes a mental orgasm at any given moment! It's the building block in which this very blog was created. But is it possible? Can you really play original music and pay the bills at the same time?
The answer to that, is yes – of course. People are doing it all the time. But there are four things to keep in mind if you want to be realistic about this goal and to logically (and reasonably) move forward.
1.Don't do it for the money
Yep, quite the contradiction isn't it? Well, if your focus is on making money over being a dedicated songwriter, performer and ultimately a true music artist – then you are in the wrong career! We all want to make money doing what we love, but not at the cost of being genuine. You can't "fake" your way in becoming a relevant music artist. Music fans will sniff you out immediately for lack of depth and sincerity. Doesn't matter what genre, if you're not passionate about what you do, it will tell on you. So yeah, of course you want to make money. But emphasize the artist first and the money will follow.
2.Brand your band
The recording industry is one that has historically focused solely on selling widgets through the exploitation of a physical product, such as a CD. This is the very thing that has served to work against record labels, as music can no longer be controlled in a fixed format, particularly with the variety of digital distribution outlets and music services such as Spotify, Soundcloud and TalentWatch.
The most successful music artists engage their fans through social networks, newsletters and contests which involve them directly. This focus is more than just selling your recordings – it's bigger than that. Instead, you're selling yourself as an artist, which in turn will help you sell anything that is related to you as a brand. It goes beyond music.
3.Don't forget your publishing
Spending time building relationships with (film) music supervisors and searching out for licensing opportunities is something all music artists should be doing. Publishing can create residual income which provides ongoing cash flow. To be successful, you need to treat the people you are contacting like human beings and not just someone who you pimp your music to. Take some time to truly build relationships. That goes a long way. Be professional and don't go for a slam dunk the first time around.
4.Maximize supplemental money-making opportunities
Ok, so what if you're starting from ground zero, and you have little or no income coming in. After all, you do have to buy new equipment (thought I was going to say eat? C'mon, we're music artists – what comes first, food or equipment?). Now is the time to take a long hard look at your talent and abilities to discover what other avenues you can supplement your income with. Teaching, being part of the band at a playhouse, writing jingles, or playing weddings are some things that come to mind.
I used to play piano for a national kids theater company that came to the local air force base every year. It consumed about 3 hours of my day for about 4 days and I made $500 from it. Easy money! Build up those kind of gigs throughout the year, along with other income opportunities, and before you know it, you're actually making money to support what you love to do. There are many opportunities out there, but you have to be aggressive and hit the pavement. Once you get your name circulating, word of mouth will make it easier.
4. Don't quit if you don't see immediate results
As a rule of thumb, most businesses that survive don't normally see a profit for about three years. No doubt that there are always exceptions to this, but the issue at hand here, is that as an original music artist, you can't expect to start making money right out of the gate. After all, you're a business too!
Yes, I realize that this might seem cliché, but really this should belong at the top of this post for importance. Original artists need thick skin. You just don't make a ton of money, until you can start to command an audience. Focus on developing and sustaining your fans.
2 Responses to Can I support myself as an original music artist? These 4 ideas can help
Brilliant article, but the bit I wanted more info about was developing a fan base, I've never figured that one out in forty years of playing! People like our new project, but there's a horrible chicken and egg thing for original bands – to get more fans you need to gig regularly and the low level paid gigs want you to guarantee turnout – which you can't deliver until you've got more fans!

That was the motivation Paul Tonko said that inspired Joanne Yepsen to seek the Office of Mayor of Saratoga Springs.
On January 1 the largest inaugural audience ever packed the Canfield Casino to see Joanne and the other elected officials of Saratoga Springs take their oaths of office at the swearing-in ceremony by
City Judge Jeffrey Wait.
After Joanne Yepsen, Michele Madigan, Chris Mathiesen, John Franck, Skip Scirocco, Matt Veitch and Peter Martin were sworn-in the first City Council Meeting of 2014 was held.
The re-elected Commissioners as first order of business re-appointed their current deputies.
The newcomer to the Board Joanne Yepsen appointed Joseph Ogden Deputy Mayor, Gayle LaSelle, Executive Assistant, Sarah Burger City Attorney, Anthony Izzo, Assistant City Attorney.
Yepsen commented Izzo has held this post for 20 years and will help provide a effective transition.
Yepsen will oppose a Las Vegas type Casino coming to Saratoga Springs. She will work to ensure what ever decision is made on Casino gaming it will not have a negative effect on downtown Saratoga Springs.
It was a huge audience in the Canfield Casino and reflects concern and anticipation.
Joanne will give specifics on her agenda for Saratoga Springs January 28 at the City Center.

BAYAMBANG – Members of the striking Parents Teachers Association of the Central Elementary School here lamented the decision of Judge Hermogenes Fernandez of the Regional Trial Court in San Carlos City after he replaced his 20 days Temporary Restraining Order for an Indefinite Mandatory Injunction for the pupils not to return to the school.
Filipina Alcantara, the PTA President, said that her group was helpless when the Department of Education - Pangasinan 1 officials had been threatened with contempt of court from the judge if they would not heed the Executive Order of Mayor Ricardo Camacho that they relocate to the new school building.
The Injunction will last until the row between Petitioner Camacho and Respondents Dep Ed officials would be resolved by the court.
They initially defied the Order as it runs smack to DepEd Service Manual while Camacho coaxed them to leave as the students would be vulnerable to dengue and flood because the school have been left unkempt.
But with a good Samaritan willing to bankroll the repair of the school and a lawyer who is willing to help them question the Indefinite Mandatory Injunction issued by the judge that they remain at the remote new school unrecognized by the Department of Education, their struggle to fight for the return of the students to the Central School in Barangay Zone 2 here would have been galvanized.
She said that after Mayor Camacho issued an Executive Order after he received a spurious resolution from the then officers of the PTA headed by former President Alex Medrano, teachers from Grades 3, 4, and 6 disobeyed the Order as it contravenes on the Service Manual.
She said the consultation was fraudulent as there was no direct meeting with the parents. She cited too that the new school's site entails them to shell more fare as it is two kilometers away from the old school.
Alcantara said that the dengue issue and the flood problem have been the scare of the mayor to allegedly perpetuate his scheme to dig a treasure buried by Japanese soldiers, build a mall, and construct a transportation terminal.
"Ito po ay gawa-gawa lamang at sa katunayan, wala ni anumang datus na nakapagpatunay na ang Bayambang Central School ay may mga biktima ng sakit ng dengue na siya unang-una nila itong dahilan. Pangalawa, hindi rin po totoo ang dahilang binabaha ang nasabing paaralan sapagkat ang tanging may kagagawan nito ay ang drainage system ng naturang bayan ng Bayambang. Pagmasdan ninyo ang munisipyo sa tuwing umuulan, hindi ba ang munisipyo dapat ang unang pag-tutu-unan? Ang ayusin ang drainage system ng bayan? Kung mayroong maayos na drainage system ang ating bayan tiyak wala rin tubig na papasok sa paaralan," she stressed in her manifesto.
She denounced too the regional and provincial DepEd officials for conspiring with Camacho in allowing that the injunction would go beyond the 20 days TRO.
"Ang bali-balita po namin dito hangang sa DepEd Regional Office nagkaroon po ng bayaran. Hangang sa School Division Superintendent, sabi nila meron ding pong bayad".
She said the school Principal Danilo Lopez, who was lately charged with corruption at the Ombudsman for purportedly pocketing school funds, had conflicting answers when asked when did he gets the money to buy his new Adventure's Asian Utility Vehicle after he succeeded in persuading to the new site all the teachers and the students.
"Sabi niya ano daw iyon regalo po daw ng anak niya tapos second time nagkita kami sabi nya loan kaya hindi namin alam ang totoo ".
The rally that ensued here last October 7 was not only participated by the PTA but by the Samahan ng Namnama, and Balay Congregate Military Reservation.
They commemorated the one year anniversary when the students and teachers were forced to abandon their cherish school because of the fear of contempt of court unless they transfer to the new school site whose land title is under the name of William Chua - the owner of the chains of 168 malls.
A source, who asked anonymity, at the rally said the Central School's pre-war eight-room Gabaldon building was gutted by fire in a mysterious way in June 2012. While other school buildings around it after the fire were still conducive to learning, the sheer negligence of Flores by not putting a guard resulted to many of the schools' doors, ceiling, iron grills, black boards, and others have been stashed away by thieves who could perpetuate their acts unhampered in the premises.

Medical malpractice lawyers, victims' advocacy groups, doctors (and their lobbyists) and insurance companies have produced a heretofore unprecedented spate of editorials on medical malpractice reform in the last few months. Even I'm bored with it.
But this editorial in Salon is a little different because the message – that medical malpractice tort reform is not the answer – comes from a pediatrician. The doctor methodically and concisely attacks the premises behind the tort reform movement, including the idea that there is a pandemic of frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits:
Instead of a swamp of frivolous lawsuits, what the data shows is a system that functions. Insubstantial claims tend to collapse, while the medical industry usually opts to pay off injured patients instead of going to trial. The doctors and the insurers choose to fight to win when they think they can, and when there is enough money at stake, and usually do win.
Certainly, the fact that it is coming from a doctor does not make it so. But it certainly lends a different authenticity.

No-Hassle Plans For Credit Cards - An Introduction
An average low rate for life APR can usually be anywhere between around 5-10%, which is much lower than most cards standard rate. For starters, know what fees, charges and penalties may be applicable, and what situation may garner these. It is important to work with a financial adviser who can give appropriate advice. If your purchases are small, you stand a good chance of being able to settle them easily, and on time. In today's super competitive financial world, every lender is scrapping for new business.

Contact any credit company to which your identifying information applies. If you have no credit when you begin using the prepaid card, this irresponsibility won't help you build a credit rating. If your answer is yes then you will have no problems in handing the responsibility and you will be able to enjoy the rewards. , marking quite a few concepts such as currency and access cards redundant.

This week's mantra: market yourself.
Belong to a social circle of gay men.
Your i's should make love with other i's.
Not "I Don't Know How to Love Him"
from Jesus Christ Superstar but "I o o o o oe i"
from eu i ea. In a bar, from afar, if you see 1, smile,
tilt your head back, make him feel safe.
Learn to like brunch. Be a man, your
Dad said a bunch. Now you can be much more
than just a man, you can be a Wonder
bunned Manwich on a blue plastic plate.
Be firm. Stop playing with your bracelets.
No wonder you're. Speakup.
Stop being fat and sweet like a Fasnacht.
You are your mystery, you are my product.
|Jeffery Berg
levelheaded: Markéd
The speaker of this poem has clear goals for himself: "market yourself," "Belong to a social circle of gay men," "Learn to like brunch," "Be a man," etc. His commands take the poem's "you" for granted. They frame the poem as an internal monologue, or a kind of bathroom mirror pep talk in which the speaker expresses a desire to shed a piece of himself in the name of "mak[ing] love with other i's."
As far as pep talks go, it's not a great one. The speaker doesn't commit to its message. From the first line, it's clear we're reading "This week's mantra" and not, say, "My new forever mantra." He might become a "Wonder / bunned Manwich," but he's a bit disgusted by placing himself on the "market" (a concept that's echoed in the conspicuously accented title). There's a knowing reluctance to the idea that he'll become a "product" like Wonder Bread or Manwich. We sense some particular sarcasm in the idea that to become so will make him "much more / than just a man." The temporariness of his "mantra" helps us understand that he hasn't fully bought in to this process. It's a necessary evil, and it's only for a week.
Because the poem charts the speaker's own thoughts, there are some private moments. Why, for instance, does he compare himself to a "Fasnacht?" There's the near rhyme with "product," but it's still a pretty specific choice even if it meets the criteria of "fat and sweet." And why does he use the number "1" instead of a spelled out "one?" We could chalk this up to style, but we could also read it as an extension of the poem's comment on sexual objectification. His "mark" is never named, only numbered.
The poem's private moments are important because they shade our view of the speaker. For the most part, we find the speaker's struggle endearing. Part of it is his use of the inoffensive phrase "make love." Part of it is the Jesus Christ Superstar bit. His eagerness makes us want him to succeed in his conversion to man-eater. Anyone who's ever had difficulty navigating love or sex or dating (read: everyone ever) could identify with his willingness to serve himself up on a platter (or a "blue plastic plate") despite his own best thoughts.
But there's also something mysterious and potentially troubling behind the speaker's approach. Within his self-affirmations, he has also made a decision to misrepresent himself. He's decided to fake it, to act as if, to be dishonest. There's something ominous in the poem's title, too. Who is "marked?" And what does it mean to "mark" someone? He finishes the poem with a serious and possessive "you are my product." Then there's that weird phrase "make him feel safe" which comes out of almost nowhere. Why wouldn't he feel safe? Is it possible the speaker is more calculating than he lets on? Is it possible that, behind his aww-shucks façade, there's someone who knows exactly what he's doing?

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone says creating artificial rain during races could liven up the championship.
Complaining that overtaking is difficult in dry conditions, Ecclestone says the "most exciting races (are) in the wet so let's think of making rain."
On F1's official website, Ecclestone added: "Why not let it 'rain' in the middle of a race? For 20 minutes or the last 10 laps? Maybe with a two-minute warning ahead of it."
Ecclestone says "suspense would be guaranteed and it would be the same for all."
In the interview Ecclestone also predicted women could be running the sport in five years, claiming that "they don't get trapped so easily in their own ego. Women don't have to play golf to make deals."
