I feel so loved.

Every woman blows her cover in the eyes of the beholder.
There has never been a single death from smoking marijuana. Tobacco and alcohol kill thousands a year, but if you died from smoking pot, you'd make it into the history books.
Legalize it. Banning it only turns innocent people into criminals. We tried banning alcohol before, and it failed.
On a side note. Did you know we can't grow hemp here in the USA. But we import shit tons of it every year. Farmers that used to thrive off hemp crops got screwed over at the beginning of the "drug war" because hemp is a cousin to weed. You can smoke hemp btw, but you don't get high....
Free weed is how it should beeee <3

Haha, I'm sure nothing is idiot-proof. Dumb people will always exceed your expectations.
I'm pretty sure there are some marijuana-related deaths.
Hell, I'm pretty sure plastic spoons have killed people before. Even people die from binge-drinking water.
Winter Is Coming.
It's good for glaucoma. But I still don't smoke it.

This post is insensitive to others. People suffering from cancer and using chemotherapy have noted that marijuana use had significantly reduced the side-effect of nausea. I would argue that individuals in these drastic situations need "drugs" in their life to help them survive. You shouldn't trivialize other peoples lives.

Ain't legal in California. Lots of clinics, that's about it. So feel free to get a MM card and smoke to relieve "stress." Beware, federal agents catching you with weed will fine or jail you.
Now let's put salvia and weed together. Which induces more harmful effects? Why the hell is salvia legal but weed isn't?
Weed really is a gateway drug. A lot of high school students smoke it cause it makes you cool and what not. Don't tell me off, I fucking thought I was the shit when I brought a sack to school. Hell I thought it was even cooler doing blow. It seems cool for awhile. Than reality kicked in and I had no money so I stopped. Lol.
I for one really enjoy weed. Chilling with friends, getting high, and playing old school video games was fun. Now I can't do that anymore cause I joined the Navy. Shit sucks. Do I ever plan on doing it again? Hell no.

Morning of tension is broken by cheers
At Harvard Law School's Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation clinic in Jamaica Plain, more than a dozen law students and staff gathered around a conference table Thursday morning, laptops open, eyes glued to a blog with moment-to-moment updates on the pending Supreme Court decision.
Robert Greenwald, the director of the center, tapped a rapid beat with his feet.
"I'm having trouble breathing," he declared, as the minutes ticked by.
At 10:00 a.m. Thursday, hundreds of thousands of people waited anxiously for the release of the Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act.
Among them: students and staff of Harvard Law School, many of whom are involved in health care public policy.
In Cambridge, Einer Elhauge, a law professor and founding director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics, logged onto his computer in his Harvard Law School office.
In Dallas, third-year law student Joel Alicea, president of the Harvard Federalist Society, was ready for the decision, one Internet browser window open to SCOTUSblog, and an online chat where he and other Harvard Law students could trade thoughts on the decision open in another.
"I made sure I came in early to work so I could set up to wait for it," Alicea said.
The Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, a clinic out of Harvard Law School, works to help vulnerable populations around the country, especially low-income people with chronic disease, obtain access to health care, so the students and professors there had a particular interest in the ruling.
As they waited, some of the students took bets on how many justices would compose the majority decision. One woman suggested some pre-ruling yoga to relieve the tension of the moment.
Then, at 10:07 a.m., SCOTUSblog reported: "We have health care opinion."
At the conference table, there was a flurry of oh-my-Gods. Then, a hush.
Four hundred fifty miles away, SCOTUSBlog writers — several of them Harvard Law alumni or faculty — skimmed furiously through the document.
At 10:08 a.m., a new message appeared on their screens: "The individual mandate survives as a tax."
The room erupted. Some cried "Yes!" and pumped their fists in the air.
But the wait was not over. The staff and students knew there was more to the decision.
At 10:09 a.m.: "It's very complicated, so we're still figuring it out," the blog read.
"It's very complicated? What does that mean?" cried one woman, talking to her computer screen as if expecting a response.
Then, at 10:10 a.m., another message. Everyone read aloud simultaneously: "So the mandate is constitutional. Chief Justice Roberts joins the left of the Court."
Gasps. More applause. Some, like Faina Shalts, a fellow at the clinic, cheered "Yay, Roberts!" They gave one another high-fives.
"We are so incredibly excited — I was about to cry," said Emily Broad-Leib, associate director of the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation. "We're in the midst of a time that's really polarized. I'm just so excited to see the court be able to come together and get beyond the politics of it."
Greenwald said he was disappointed about the court's decision on Medicaid expansion, which prevents the federal government from decreasing funding to states that choose not to expand their Medicaid programs.
But largely, he said, he was satisfied with the decision.
"As a lawyer, this gives me a renewed faith," Greenwald said, speaking about Roberts's decision to rule in favor of upholding the health care act. "To see that it wasn't clearly around political ideology — it's a great thing to see."
Elhauge, the professor watching the proceedings from his office at Harvard Law School, was more stoic in his take on Roberts's surprise crossover.
"Although Roberts is further to the right than [Justice Anthony] Kennedy, he has the most economic sophistication," Elhauge said. "Of the conservative justices, he's the most likely to follow this more economically functional approach."

Man, Pacific Soul has it all: personality, style and most of all talent. Steve and Paulo can tattoo everything from American traditional to Japanese to what they're most famous for, their Polynesian tattoos. in addition, they're located two blocks from Ala Moana beach in Honolulu, Hawaii…
But it's not just about their incredible talent. Steve Looney, Paulo Manabe and Steve's wife Dani are the sweetest most hospitable people you will ever meet on the Island and quite possibly the world!! Every time Taki and I have gone out there, they take the time and energy to show us the heavenly place they call home. This last trip was especially epic. Not only was it the five of us, but also Ben Grillo of Power Tattoo and Si'i Liufau of A-Town Tattoo came along for the ride this time.
The main reason for the trip was for Steve and Taki to collaborate on a back piece for our friend Jason who flew out just to get tattooed by them both at the same time. Talk about epic! The week was filled with tattooing, snorkeling, partying and eating, eating, and more eating! First and foremost the tattooing: Ben, Paulo and Si'i did what they do best… producing mind-blowing tattoo after tattoo while Taki and Steve worked on Jason's epic back piece. Jason had approached Taki and Steve with the concept of a Japanese and Polynesian collaboration.
After much discussion and sketching, they decided to draw a Samoan warrior- complete with Samoan tattoos, fighting a shark. The piece is drawn in Japanese backpiece format and the shark is reminiscent of a Japanese alligator shark as drawn by Kuniyoshi. It is the perfect blend of Samoan and Japanese, a true artistic endeavor. Jason took it like a real champ.
In two days at four hours each day with two artists tattooing a lot of work got done -they finished the outline within the first hour! I asked what it was like being tattooed by two artists at once and he told me it was a surreal experience but like it sounds, two tattooers tattooing you at once. Rightly said, Jason!
Our week was jam-packed with food. We ate everything from Loco mocos and the best teriyaki burger in the world (grilled by Steve himself) to the very rare and hard to catch coconut crab. Coconut crab is a huge crab that lives only on land feeding mostly on coconut. It is rare to catch as it is vicious and strong enough to husk coconuts, you can only imagine what it'd do to body parts. It looks like a cross between and crab and a lobster, the texture of the meat is flaky and tougher than the usual water crab. It tastes like coconut scented alligator if you've ever had it and the tail comes with a natural dipping sauce made of coconut oil that has collected over the crab's short coconut –filled life. It was a true delicacy, thank you Dani and Steve for making it for us!
We also stopped by Aisea's shop, Soul Signature, and joined their kava circle, what an experience!! Thank you Aisea!
I want to thank Ben Grillo for all the incredible photos, talk about multi-talented! And Si'i, the trip wouldn't have been the same without you, life of the party!! There were so many amazing moments in this trip and I think I caught the most epic points. If you're ever in Honolulu, you MUST check out Pacific Soul and show some love.

Handwriting is getting to be a lost art. It needs to be regarded as a significant activity. Drawing is an excellent method to practice handwriting. Practicing handwriting is hard work and may be rather boring for children. There are a couple things you can do to assist your student learn how to write. Then students are shown how to earn a triangle in addition to their square. Older pupils ought to take advantage of the cursive design units whom I have prepared.
Pupils never write letters by themselves, discharged from different letters. Before they can learn about multiplication sentences, they need to understand the idea of an array. When they depend on the use of words, they are not as inclined to show, and more likely to tell. Older students might have the ability to produce the tree and home on a single sheet, but for younger students like Kindergarten or 1st grade, cutting on a house and tree out on a single sheet will almost certainly be too hard.

BOSTON (AP) Virginia Tech needs to win its last two games to make a bowl for the 20th consecutive year. The chance to spoil that is the most Boston College can hope for during its second straight losing season.
``It's critical to maintain that this is an aberration from what this program does,'' said BC offensive lineman Emmett Cleary, one of 16 seniors who are hoping that a win in their final home game on Saturday will make up for an otherwise disappointing season. ``You can't treat this stuff like business as usual, and you can't if you want to be the program that we think we are.''
A week after trying - but failing - to ruin Notre Dame's national championship hopes, BC (2-8, 1-5 ACC) will has little to play for except the opportunity to keep the Hokies (4-6, 2-4) out of a bowl. Though they're not exactly longtime rivals like BC and Notre Dame, the only two Catholic schools in the FBS, Boston College and Virginia Tech have had some memorable matchups dating to their days in the Big East.
Shortly after they defected to the ACC one year apart, BC won three straight regular-season matchups against ranked Hokies teams. But Virginia Tech beat the Eagles in the conference title game in 2007 and again in `08.
``It's still Virginia Tech,'' BC center Andy Gallik said. ``We're going to have a little more emotion. And it's the last time the seniors are going to play at home as a family.''
Since then, BC has struggled, winning fewer games each year and finally ending its bowl streak last year. Virginia Tech would need to beat BC on Saturday and then Virginia next week to extend a bowl streak that reaches back to 1993.
``It's not something you can really ignore because we haven't been 4-6 around here in a long time,'' Hokies cornerback Antone Exum said. ``We feel like we're probably the best 4-6 team out there. Our record doesn't indicate how good of a team this is. We still have talent and guys that can get it done, but for some reason, the ball just hasn't been bouncing our way this year and we've just to focus on finishing these last two games and getting to a bowl game.''
BC (2-8) has lost two in a row since beating Maryland for their only Atlantic Coast Conference win of the year. The Eagles have lost four straight to Virginia Tech, including the 2008 ACC championship game.
The Hokies opened the season as the No. 16 team in The Associated Press Top 25 and moved as high as 13th before a loss to Pittsburgh and on Sept. 17 and then two more losses in the next three games sent them tumbling from the rankings. In all, they have lost five of their last six games, including a 28-22 loss to No. 8 Florida State after taking a 22-20 lead with 2:19 left.
``We know what we have to do,'' quarterback Logan Thomas said this week. ``After the loss we just had, it's encouraging to see how well we can play. We kind of put it all together. ... We know that we've got to have these next two to go to a bowl and we're excited about it just because the added pressure makes you play better.''
For BC, the only pressure is on the seniors playing their final home game.
A group that joined one of the most successful classes in school history - four-time bowl winners with a 39 victories in four years - is leaving at one of the program's low points. With just two wins, the Eagles could match the 1989 for the worst record since the winless 1978 season and they are certain to post the first back-to-back losing seasons since Tom O'Brien took over in the wake of a gambling scandal that cost the school its football and basketball coaches along with its athletic director.
Unless the Eagles win their last two games - they play North Carolina State on Nov. 24 - it would be the fifth consecutive season of diminishing win totals.
``I think Saturday will be a lot more enjoyable if we get a win,'' tight end Chris Pantale said. ``I could leave Alumni (Stadium) with a good taste in my mouth.''

Yet, despite advancements over the past 20 years, middle- and back-office functions remain mostly antiquated, slow and not very efficient. Here, firms are still dealing with overly complex procedures involving multiple counterparties, manual processes and third-party service providers.
During the past year, blockchain technology has rapidly gained traction in the capital markets industry as one of the most exciting technological developments in recent history. In surveying the global financial technology sector, Accenture has identified blockchains as "possibly the biggest opportunity from taking an open approach to innovation". This technology has the potential to help minimize counterparty risk, reduce settlement times, improve contractual term performance and increase transparency for regulatory reporting.
Syndicated Loans
Blockchain is a disruptive technology platform that uses cryptography and a distributed messaging protocol to create shared ledgers among counterparties. Originally, blockchain technology was used by cryptocurrencies whose popularity gave rise to the idea of blockchains as a means of building consensus. Since then, banks have begun exploring ways to apply blockchain-distributed technology to payments. In the context of capital markets, blockchain distributed ledgers enable open-source, decentralized, replicated, shared and cryptographically secure operations that are validated by mass collaboration and can be applied to many financial instruments.
Unlike traditional ledgers in banks, which use central authorities to manage transactions (see Figure 1), distributed ledgers built on blockchains validate transactions through a protocol managed by the user community via a consensus mechanism (see Figure 2). This decentralized approach changes the power dynamic within the financial system, shifting power from institutions to users.
Asset transfers can be facilitated without third-party intermediaries through the use of "smart contracts" – programmed code that replicates conventional commercial agreements by digitizing business transactions between parties and validating them through a blockchain. Practically speaking, this means blockchain-enabled networks have the potential to increase trading efficiency, improve regulatory control and eliminate unnecessary intermediaries.
For example, a swap with multiple parties that has been sold and resold and moved between custodians is often problematic in a traditional back office, but a distributed ledger can accommodate various players. A similar result can be achieved with a properly designed database, but the ledger eliminates power struggles and ensures there is no single point of failure.
Examples include syndicated loans, fixed-income, currency and commodity (FICC) derivatives, private equity and bilateral over-the-counter transactions.
A blockchain enabled distributed ledger makes it possible to track assets in ways that are not possible with a traditional distributed database.
Examples include financial accounting and regulatory reporting exercises.
Blockchain stacks offer a robust and verifiable alternative to traditional proprietary stacks at a fraction of the cost.
Blockchain technology can facilitate the transition from overnight batch processing to intra-day clearing and settlement.
Blockchain technology makes it possible to give various parties (e.g., clients, custodians and regulators) access to their own live copies of a shared system of record.
Smart contracts can use blockchain's programming language to create context-aware transactions for complex arbitration. For example, a credit default swap could pay out automatically according to pre-agreed logic that watches market data feeds.
The use of blockchain technology in capital markets raises a number of unanswered questions in three key areas:
How will legal authorities treat automated contracts and digital assets transferred through blockchain technology? Can ownership of non-cryptocurrency financial assets be transferred using the distributed ledger concept with certainty and finality? Will counterparties need to be identifiable and linked to a legal entity? How will a legal framework accommodate both smart and traditional contracts?
How will assets be transferred between traditional and blockchain-enabled ledgers? Is a smart contract capable of enshrining and executing all event functions across an asset's lifecycle? What role will oracles play in ensuring the proper execution of smart contracts? What happens as new parameters potentially impact contracts? How can ever-expanding ledgers be stored cost-effectively?
When will regulatory authorities outline acceptable and best practices for using blockchain-enabled distributed ledgers? Will regulators treat traditional and blockchain asset transfers differently? How will blockchain technology affect regulatory reporting requirements? Will a distributed ledger transaction history suffice for auditing purposes?
Many firms are in an exploratory phase, testing out the technology in their own technology labs and innovation centers. Despite numerous technical and regulatory uncertainties, blockchain technology has many possible applications in capital markets. For example, suggested use cases in testing mode today may include Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering (KYC/AML) data-sharing, trade surveillance, regulatory reporting, collateral management, trading, settlement and clearing.
Firms that want to assess the viability of blockchain technology for specific financial instruments, such as syndicated loans, should consider a number of factors, such as anticipated reduction in settlement days, current clearing and settlement costs, digitization potential, product volume, cost of capital avoided and implementation costs. The next step is to clearly identify risks and challenges. Only then should a firm begin developing a detailed blockchain roadmap, determining product and asset class adoption and creating an implementation schedule.

What are three things I need to have for summer?
A: The summer season never seems long enough for us, so we're taking every opportunity to enjoy the year's sunniest months in style. We've waded through all the sizzling trends and have broken down the must-have pieces to keep you cool--in all senses of the word!
1. Grab global-influenced and printed anything! Dresses, rompers, tanks, and skirts in tribal-inspired prints offer the perfect chance to look and feel fresh for summer. Find a print that speaks to you--on a flattering-to-your-bod style (remember: bold prints can be your friend or foe!)--and style with your favorite wardrobe classics. We love a crisp white shirt paired with printed tapered trousers or shorts, a denim shirt mixed with a simple print skirt, or a patterned tank combined with a dark indigo or bright white skinny jean.
2. Cover all with overalls! In the spirit of summer music festivals and youthful, free, summertime adventures, we encourage you to play with any fun overall, coverall, or jumpsuit you can get your hands on. You can make an overall feel modern with a printed tee and colored flat sandal, and a jumpsuit feel sophisticated with a pump and sharp summertime blazer.
3. Add a dash of bright white please! Invest in bright white accessories to instantly liven up any look and feel more seasonally crisp and optimistic. Grab bold white sunglasses (loving a square or geometric frame!), a clutch (white and Lucite anyone?), or wedge sandal (maybe mixed with snake!).

How did the works of Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo come to be regarded as so important in the history of art? Why, even within the artists' lifetimes, was their art regarded as signaling the "rebirth" of painting and sculpture and Michelangelo called "the divine"? In this course we will examine the principal Renaissance monuments (Giotto's Arena Chapel, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Michelangelo's David and Sistine Chapel Ceiling) and their reception, including the recent "Da Vinci Code Effect" that has rekindled an interest in Leonardo da Vinci. The Italian Renaissance will also offer a useful perspective for considering topics of current cultural relevance like the value of the visual arts in society, public support for the arts, and visual literacy. HISTART Concentration Distributions: 3. Early Modern, D. Europe and the US.
Required textbooks: Stephen J. Campbell and Michael W. Cole, Italian Renaissance Art (Thames & Hudson/W. W. Norton: New York, 2012)

Maybe there are others here more knowledgable in veterinary medcine than me but after 17 YEARS of practicing Animal Behavior as well as writing several columns for our local paper on ALL aspects of Pet Care, I think that I have earned just a BIT of knowledge in the field of canine health disorders.
Please stop treating me like just another "average" dog owner offering advice esp. when you know nothing about me or my practical experience.

My vet was trying to help me do the most cost effective measures first (based on otherwise normal behavior other than the occasional vomiting) - I am a student (graduating in August) with $0 monthly income. She found enough cause to go with this method of treatment.

The preparations leading up to the conference have begun as I've been gathering up all the bits and pieces of Blogger Technology to take on the trip.
Blogger Checklist:
- Net book computer for blogging
- Spiral notebooks for note taking
- Markers and pens and post-it flags for marking up my syllabus
- Digital camera
- Flip video camera
- Digital voice recorder (not to worry - I know we're not allowed to record the sessions!)
- Garmin nuvi GPS system so I can get to and around in Kansas City (free maps from AAA are so passe! haha) - I just hope I figure out how to work the thing before next Friday.
Looking at what all of this will weigh, my guess is that I'll pare down the technology to the net book and camera. Just the thought of carrying around the 363 page syllabus is a bit overwhelming. Well, my doctor said she wants me to start lifting weights, so maybe I'll just split the syllabus in half and build up my muscles.
I'm really looking forward to meeting the other Bloggers and other Facebook friends at the Family History Expo. I have no doubt that a pleasant time will be had for all. The Geneabloggers really seems to be a great group of people and I'm looking forward to making some lasting friendships.
If you can make it, please join us. If you're already planning on attending, I hope we'll get to say Hello.

Penguins-Islanders Preview
Jarome Iginla spent parts of 17 seasons as the go-to guy for the
Calgary Flames, on and off the ice.
A star player and overall leader on a club that was often
outside the hockey spotlight, the fact he forged what will surely
be a Hall of Fame career is a testament to his skills.
None of those seasons ended with a Stanley Cup championship, and
the Flames haven't even made the playoffs since 2009. But Iginla's
career has been reborn with a late-season trade to the Pittsburgh
Penguins, who have lots of talent and as good a chance as any to
claim the title this year.
"I don't think it's been an adjustment at all," said Iginla,
acquired on March 28. "As far as doing interviews and stuff,
probably a few less, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm just
focused on trying to make sure I'm prepared and ready for the games
and just keep trying to get better and add that to the group."
That bunch includes stars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and
Marc-Andre Fleury – so Iginla has no trouble keeping to himself.
The main reason he attracted attention Monday after the Penguins
held an optional practice before Tuesday's Game 4 against the New
York Islanders is the fact Crosby and Malkin took the opportunity
to rest their legs and their voices.
The top-seeded Penguins lead the best-of-seven, first-round
Eastern Conference series 2-1, and they have earned their two wins
in different ways.
Pittsburgh jumped all over the Islanders at home in a 5-0
victory in Game 1, and then scratched and clawed all the way to
escape with a 5-4 overtime win Sunday on the road in Game 3.
In between, the Islanders rallied for a win in Game 2. The
Nassau Coliseum was rocking Sunday, but New York couldn't ride the
wave of emotion to a win, despite holding an early 2-0 lead.
"There were emotional rides in the game," Penguins coach Dan
Bylsma said Monday. "They came out with a surge and we turned a
turnover right into a goal.
"I can't say we handled it well. We got off to two goals
against and led them feed off some speed and energy. From the time
we got here, the atmosphere in the building, our players were
really excited about the atmosphere here. It was pretty crazy. They
chanted from before warm-ups, during warm-ups, during the game. Our
guys were really excited about playing in front of that type of
atmosphere. That's what it's all about."
Bylsma allowed himself to smile while recalling Sunday's scene.
It was easier because his team erased the early hole and led 3-2
before the first period was over. Even blowing a two-goal lead of
their own in the third period didn't seem so bad once Crosby set up
Chris Kunitz for the Penguins' third power-play goal of the game in
"It's playoff hockey, and we haven't been in this building for
playoff games before," Bylsma said. "It was an awesome crowd.
They were great and were energized right from the start. (The
Islanders) used it and they got on top and they came with a lot of
speed. We need to do a better job."
That was also the message on the Islanders' side of the hallway.
New York now faces the task of shaking off the deflating defeat in
time for Game 4. A win in that one and the Islanders are back even.
A loss, and suddenly summer vacation becomes a whole lot closer to
"Our penalty kill has to be better. The best way to do that is
to stay out of the box," Islanders defenseman Andrew MacDonald
said. "Those can end up killing us."
With the Penguins' power play operating at a supremely high
level, connecting six times in 13 opportunities in the series, the
Islanders must cut down on the penalties they are committing, and
figure out a way to slow down Pittsburgh when there is an advantage
to be killed.
"We've got to be more disciplined. No question," Islanders
coach Jack Capuano said. "The penalty kill is something we've got
to clean up. But discipline with and without the puck is a big part
of the game, and with their quickness we've got to make sure we
defend a little bit harder and a little bit smarter."
Iginla has smoothly fit in with the Penguins, who are seeking
their second Cup title in five seasons. His experience, scoring
touch, and toughness are all positives for Pittsburgh at this time
of year.
"He's brought a quiet confidence to our room right off the
hop," Bylsma said. "He hasn't been a guy who stepped right in and
started screaming and yelling and rah-rah. We had some injuries and
we had some different lineups, and we went on the road and he
really developed into a go-to guy on the power play that was a
weapon. He has continued to be that for our team.
"It gives us a different dimension to our team that maybe we
didn't have before, with that type of shot. He's got a fierce edge
that he plays the game with. He has brought that to our team. When
you are down there on the ice with him, you certainly know it and
see it."
The Penguins have six power-play goals and eight at even
strength. While they are enjoying how well their special teams are
performing, they are well aware that 5-on-5 play will likely be the
deciding factor.
"We can't just rely on power-play goals or fortunate bounces,"
defenseman Paul Martin said. "We have to make sure that we're
taking the game to them and playing the way that we play to feel
more confident in our game."

By now, many of you have heard about Siri, the "automated" voice assistant that is integrated with Apple's new iPhone operating system. Well, if you've ever seen Terminator, you already know that this seemingly innocuous Siri is nothing short of Skynet. Think about it, she's there living inside your iPhone, watching, learning and biding her time before she brings about the Apple android apocalypse.
With the prevalence of iPhones and iPads, the Apple's Siri will ensure that our lives will never be the same. Basically, the singularity is here, human governments will soon fall and all we can really do is protect our own assets.
If you're gonna fight, you've got to have the right gear…right? We at Harry's Army Surplus have prepared a list of the best survival gear to protect you when judgement day comes. We hope you enjoy it and we'll see you on the other side. God save the queen!
Best Gear for the Siri's iPhone Apocalypse:
1. Army Type Sawback Machete:
The blade on this machete is well balanced. You can hack through the underbrush in order to sneak up on the enemy and with a wide enough swing, you could probably lop off the heads of Skynet's (aka Siri) minions. The saw back on this machete might be useful for hacking through a twist of wires in case you have to disable any nuclear warheads.
2. Leatherman MUT Military Utility Tool
This isn't just a Multitool, it's a soldier's tool box. The Leatherman MUT has specific tools designed to maintain AR-15's and SKS's, including a bolt overide tool to grab the leading edge of a bolt carrier and allow the shooter to easily pull back the bolt in order to clear a jammed casing, allowing the user to quickly un-jam a weapon and get back to killing that army of cyborgs.
3. Basic Issue Combat Shirt
Rather than wearing some stuffy old military BDU or ACU, you'll want one of these new fangled combat shirts. It's lightweight, moisture wicking, breathable and fits under a tactical vest. If the Machines blast you with a flame thrower, you'll be happy to be wearing a combat shirt with a 230 degree melting point. On top of that, chicks dig em.
4. Inforce Four Force Tactical Light
The future is murky and you'll need a great light to lead the way as you crawl through dark tunnels and through the backcountry in your pursuit of safe harbor from your Apple adversary. With a woppin' 300 lumens and strobe functionality to disorient the enemy, this flashlight just might save your life when Siri comes for you.
5. Cross Draw Tactical Vest
You've gotta have your gear at hand when Siri comes. This tactical vest holds your gun, ammo and all the rest of your essentials.
6. Solar & Wind-up Radio
Of course you need a radio in a survival situation. When the power grid's taken down and you're hold up in your dank bunker just south of hell, you'll welcome the sweet sounds of another human voice being broadcast to all those resistance fighters just like yourself. Just give this crank radio a whirl or leave it sitting in the sun and POOF, instant sanity.
There are definitely more items you'll need to survive the iPhone apocalypse and we'll be right here helping you find the right gear. For now, we hope that this'll get you started on your bug out bag.
For all of you who've had a good laugh at this article, please take note: Siri, Apple's evil artificial intelligence, is no laughing matter. Don't be surprised when you look down and notice that your iPhone is shooting a laser beam straight through your leg and Siri's evil voice is telling you to submit yourself for registration at her internment camp in Cupertino California where you'll be processed and put to work.
Long live the resistance! Down with the iPhone!

LA JOLLA — Many will see Tiger Woods' victory Monday as a day of belaboring the obvious. He had a six-shot lead to start the day, only 11 holes left and a golf course that would give up birdies to his challengers as easily as Manti Te'o finds girlfriends.
Others will see it as a resurrection.
Is Woods really back?
Ever since Michael Jordan made it fashionable to be back, that question has been posed for every major athlete who seemed to lose his or her way. Woods hasn't won a major since the U.S. Open in 2008. Because he had won 13 prior to that and is 37 now, it seems to be a fair question at each appropriate juncture.
A coasting, four-shot victory in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, a golf course that would make being locked in a small room with 10 people talking loudly on their cellphones preferable to playing there, seemed an appropriate juncture.
And so the question was put to Woods in his post-victory news conference.
Are you back?
His response was not only vintage Woods, but both in content and tone, the definitive answer.
"Never left," he said.
That was followed by the huge smile that, with his emphatic fist pump over putts that go in, has become a trademark. Woods has a smile that lights up a room, as well as a snarl that can empty it.

Film Review
The Incredible Hulk
Monsters fight monsters, Fight Club style
What do you get when you cross a serious actor like Edward Norton with a summer mega-hit? Maybe "cross" isn't the the best descriptor. This Frankenstein's top half is Norton-fueled character drama, while the lower end is all CG car-tossing. The Incredible Hulk manages to keep its continuity pants on, tattered though they may become. (Speaking of pants, this flick really makes a point of exploring how the Hulk finds a way to keep them on in spite of drastic size changes.)
Film Review
Mister Lonely
I don't get it
Harmony Korine is bat-shit insane. To use the charitable, art-world-approved term, he's "eccentric." Now, this character assessment is based not on personal observation, but on careful consumption of his cinematic work. From the Larry Clark-directed opuses Kids and Ken Park (both of which Korine wrote) to his full-on writing/directing efforts Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy, Korine has demonstrated a singular talent that has inspired some to call him the freshest voice in modern indie cinema and others to label him one seriously messed-up young dude.
Idiot Box
"Swingtown" on CBS
It's no trade secret that CBS has long coveted the "silver hair" demographic. But seniors tuning into the Eye Network this week to catch reruns of "NCIS," "The Ghost Whisperer" or any one of a dozen variations on "CSI" may be shocked to find the sexually promiscuous period drama "Swingtown." Or not.

Nullification: Separating Fact From Fiction
Joe Wolverton II, J.D., sets the record straight
APPLETON, WIS. – May 14, 2012 – Are calls for nullification serious? Isn't the federal government in charge? Is nullification the same as secession?
Calls for nullification periodically occur when states perceive the federal government to have stepped out of its area of constitutionally defined powers by passing unconstitutional laws. Although the Tea Party and other constitutional activists have been leading the charge for nullification of ObamaCare, they have been joined by liberal groups in their support for nullification of the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA.
But many in the media do not understand how nullification works and end up getting it wrong.
In the May 7 issue of The New American magazine, Joe Wolverton II, J.D. defines nullification in the article, "The Case for Nullification," why it was created and how it can be used to invalidate federal laws that are unconstitutional.
Contact Hannah Brems to schedule an interview with Wolverton to discuss nullification and separate fact from fiction. Wolverton earned his Juris Doctorate degree in 2001.
Established in 1985, The New American is printed twice monthly and publishes articles online daily. The magazine reports on the abuses of the American principles of limited government, personal responsibility, and God-given rights. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Birch Society.

There is an interesting, brief on-line video of Dr. Stephen Lane, a neurologist from Colorado, giving an overview of SM, at this webpage http://www.thedoctorschannel.com/video/897.html
Dr. Lane's inability to pronounce the word syringomyelia is a little distracting. Apparently the purpose is to inform other veterinarians of the existence and symptoms of the disorder.

Great product. Easy to use and my cattle respect the white rope much better than wire or the thinner yellow rope I had used previously. The rope has great strength and visibility.
Justin S from Vermont
I have used this 4.5mm rope for several years as a single-strand perimeter for finishing beef. Highly visible and conducts well, the cows respect it when properly energized. I keep it taut with premier p springs, and use rope links for tie offs. A convenient an affordable system.
Matthew A from Georgia
Good wire. I've found it to last 7 to 10 years. Great for Gates and or temporary paddocks. More visible and stronger than the smaller polywire.
Claudia B from Kentucky
I have used this rope for my donkey and mule for several years. It is easy for them to see easy for me to put up and take down. I have used four different types of rope for them and this is by far my favorite. Would definitely purchase again!
Pamela S
Just installed so can't say how well it will last up here in the north. But the price is good and it is easy to handle. Has good visibility.

Location: Highland Park, Los Angeles, CA
We hosted a garden party at home for Emerson's first birthday. All the decorations were DIY utilizing handmade veggie stencils, neon pant and lots and lots of construction paper.
I used the stencils and paint to make the table cloth and overhead canopies. Neon veggies hung from the garage and were used for props in the smilebooth.
Thanks Melanie!

Electric trucks are starting to catch on. It only took 100 or so years. Many would be shocked to learn that at the dawn of the 20th Century, it was not gas or diesel power that delivered America's goods, it was electricity.
The Iowa 80 Trucking Museum is inviting the public to a birthday celebration for its 100-year-old, 1911 Walker Electric Truck. The Walker Electric Truck was built by the Walker Vehicle Co. in Chicago, IL. The company continued to produce electric vehicles until 1941.
"Many people think that electric vehicles are a recent invention, when in fact they were in production over 100 years ago," says Dave Meier, museum curator.
The Iowa 80 Trucking Museum owns one of the few remaining Walker Electric Trucks, which were used extensively to deliver ice cream and other products to customers in turn-of-the-century cities. The museum is hosting a birthday party for its truck on Friday July 15, at 2:30 p.m. The event is part of the Walcott Truckers Jamboree July 14-15.
According to the museum, its truck was owned by Bowman Dairy and delivered milk to hospitals, restaurants and hotels. The museum purchased the truck at an auction several years ago.
So, if you're in the vicinity of Walcott, IA, on July 14, take Exit 284 off I-80 and take a peek at what delivery life was at the beginning of the 20th Century.

The advertisement includes a list of the students at the college with many notable names among them. One person I noticed in particular is John Morgan's future beloved colleague, J. Golden Kimball. With the exception of the Cannons and the Youngs who are rather underrepresented, the list reads like a "Who's Who" of Salt Lake City.
