Earlier this year, one of my friends asked: "Will medical cannabis get you stoned?"
This was just before my first appointment to get "qualified" for medical cannabis use. I wasn't sure how to answer.
What did I know about medical cannabis? Not much. I struggled to parse what I was finding online. Perhaps I was naive in expecting straightforward information communicated by words without multiple meaning. So I was thrown off by the lingo.
For example, I began my quest, back in February 2016, by asking my primary care doctor whether she "prescribed" medical cannabis. She did not, she said. I later learned the distinction between "prescribe" and "qualify." Federal law prohibits U.S. doctors from prescribing medical cannabis, because it is still an illegal substance according to federal law.
I even searched online for "doctors in MN who prescribe medical weed." At that time, I found just two. After a little research, I chose a doctor in Golden Valley because of his experience in managing pain.
I expected the experience would be similar to visiting a primary care physician. "How are you today? What are your symptoms?" Instead, the clinic staff gave me a long checklist of instructions during the initial phone call. I followed the instructions to the letter. For example, they directed me to write down my e-mail password and have it handy for my appointment, for reasons that became clear as I progressed through the process. It was all very mysterious, but I obeyed carefully.
I was desperate by this point. The severity of my pain and spasms was escalating. I have a musculoskeletal condition and multiple degenerative conditions, which cause debilitating spasms. By their nature, the degenerative conditions aren't going to improve; they will only keep getting worse. Already, I have very little cushion between vertebrae. I have one vertebra that constantly crunches another, like a ledge of rock sliding against the one below. This squeezes the nerves coming out of my spinal cord, causing searing pain and a lack of mobility. My neurologist says that at 57 I'm "relatively young" for this degree of degeneration. If I wasn't able to get qualified for medical cannabis, I planned to beg my doctor for oxycodone.
"I'm qualified," I announced to my husband after the visit. I was still starry-eyed with disbelief.
That very afternoon I called LeafLine, the lab that sells medical cannabis. I made an appointment for the next day.
I found the lab at the end of a small strip of businesses in Eagan, bordering woods. The door was locked when I arrived, but a staff member quietly let me in. The monitor in the waiting area ran a looping video touting LeafLine's various formulations: Heather, Tangerine and Cobalt.
Finally, I met with a pharmacist. She prescribed an oil I could take orally and another formulation I could inhale using a vaporizer or vape pen.
Proceeding with caution
At home that night I laughed giddily as I took my first toke on the vape pen. It had been more than 30 years since my last experience with THC.
No, I did not get stoned that evening. But my muscle spasms eased almost immediately and so did the stabbing pain. My feet had been curling with severe spasms for months, but suddenly I was freed from that particular symptom (as was my husband who tried to help by massaging away the spasms). Gone were the lightning bolts of pain that jabbed my shins, knees and quads. I rose from my recliner a reborn woman.
Before medical cannabis, I experienced several spasms an hour, at all hours of the day. I could barely sleep. With medical cannabis, the spasms have decreased to just a handful per day. And, thank goodness, I'm able to get five solid hours of sleep most nights.
The downside? I can't travel as freely as I'd like. For the most part, I'm able to wander around Minnesota with my medical cannabis. I can use my vape pen openly in public. I'm even able to toke while driving as long as I don't go within 1,000 feet of schools or enter a federal government facility.
But crossing state lines and entering airspace with medical cannabis is strictly off limits.
I recently read an article that indicated airport and airline staff will look the other way when it comes to passengers carrying medical cannabis. Some airports in states where marijuana is legal allow possession while flying. So I called Delta and asked for clarification about their policy. I expected a straightforward answer but instead got passed from person to person. I hung up and tried again the next day. This time the representative dug around and found the answer: It's illegal to transport federally illegal substances across state lines, whether you're driving or flying.
How will I cope when my husband and I travel? I recently learned about a prescription pain medicine with the same pain-relieving powers as oxycodone but without the high risk of addiction. I also learned there are certain types of injections for temporary relief of the bone-on-bone, nerve-squeezing condition that causes my symptoms. Yes, I know this is a "Cadillac" problem, as we used to say. As a staff member at the cannabis lab told me, most of their clients are too immobilized to travel much.
Have I ever gotten high from medical cannabis? Are the effects similar to the buzz I used to experience while smoking pot with friends?
No. After a few days of inhaling and staying housebound, out of caution, I finally went for a test drive around the block, just to be sure. There were no flashbacks to my younger years, but I certainly noticed a heightened awareness of everything I saw and heard. The pharmacist at the lab told me that if I start to feel "loopy" I've taken too much.
My experience with medical cannabis has been solitary but blissful — I can move again. My body has relaxed from the ravaging spasms. I can grocery shop with some degree of leisure. I no longer have to frantically get in and out before my legs start to give way to spasms and pain.
Medical cannabis is not a cure, of course. The conditions causing my symptoms are still very much with me. By their nature, they always will be and they probably will continue to worsen. At least now I know I can get some relief, even if it means never leaving Minnesota again.

I received a comment from one of my readers which made me realize that some of you may not be aware of the information in the 'disclaimer' portion of our website. I decided it would be a good idea to post the information you will find there and include a little clarification in case you need it. So, here's the disclaimer and it's clarification.
Mom's not a counselor: Although she's spent a lot of time listening to the problems of those she loves. Clarification: I've also spent a lot of time giving advice to those I love in an attempt to help them avoid problems.
Mom's not a psychiatrist or a doctor: Even if the commercials do say she's Dr. Mom. Clarification: Don't take my word for it. If you are concerned about a problem, I can give you my take on the situation but it's up to you to seek out a professional for a real answer. If you are a psychiatrist or a doctor, your input would be greatly appreciated.
She may act like a lawyer on occasion when she's had to get at the truth from reluctant teens: But she's not a real Lawyer. Clarification: If you're a real lawyer, an actual answer would be good if you are willing to give it.
Mom doesn't have any letters behind her name: All she has is common sense and life experience, which, most of the time is all the advice you really need. Clarification: If you've been through anything similar and agree or disagree with me, please feel free to leave a comment.
Her childcare expertise comes from hands-on experience. If you need more help, Mom might suggest it to you, but in case she does not, be sure to trust your own instinct when it tells you to get professional help.
Post a comment: Mom accepts that she may not know everything. So she's opened the website for others to give their opinions as well.

DIY bath bombs are the best way to spice up your regular bath and turn it into a beautiful mess. They are even more special because you get to enjoy the process involved in creating them.
But let me guess, you are wondering what these bath bombs are, right? Or maybe you've seen them before but didn't know what they were. Either way, I can relate to that feeling because I've been there before. If you are the kind to obsess over bubble baths, then you'll definitely be blown away by DIY bath bombs. In case you are wondering how they look like, here is a pic of DIY bath bombs
They are like soap balls although not always circular. They can take all kinds of shapes depending on the bath bomb mold you use. DIY bath bombs add that much–needed fizzy fun to your bath, topped up with exotic colors and fragrances that leave your bath tub looking like a beautiful mess.
I couldn't help myself but just try making them and see if they really worked. Oh yes, It worked and from then on, I always pop one or two of them in my bath when I want to relax. That said, there are many ways to make DIY bath bombs. However, I always opt to stick with the most effective and affordable methods. Before we look at it, let's first look at the most common ingredients:
Baking Soda:
If you remember your elementary school chemistry, then understanding the role of baking soda in the bath explosion shouldn't be a jargon. Also known as Sodium Bicarbonate, it fizzes when mixed with an acidic mixture by producing carbon dioxide.
Citric Acid:
Baking soda requires an acidic element with a really low pH if you are going to produce any explosions at all. So, citric acid is the best choice since it is affordable and accessible compared to other acidic substances. You don't want to be exploding along with the homemade bath bomb, which is why citric acid is the safest to use.
Essential oil:
You need this because it is the source of the good scent. You can choose the type of essential oil to put in, depending on how it benefits your skin. My personal favorite is Cinnamon and Cocoa. They make your skin smooth and moisturized. Alternatively, you can use your perfumed soap or your Spa shower gel.
Epsom salt:
It has many health benefits such as flushing toxins from the cells, relaxing the nerves and muscles and relieving muscle pain and crumps. Though not compulsory, you can be sure that you will have the most relaxed baths when you add this salt.
Corn starch:
From making facial scrubs to making finger paints, Corn starch always comes in handy every time. DIY bath bombs are also on the list of its practical crafts. Corn starch is the reason why these flashy scented balls are so thick and hard.
Coloring agent:
Unless you want your bath to look regular, you should use a food color or biodegradable glitters to add color to the bath bombs. Besides, it might just be the trick you need to get your five–year old child or even pet into that bath tub.
Coconut oil/water:
Citric acid does not react directly with baking soda hence it needs a wet surface. You can use either water or coconut oil. I prefer using coconut oil to make the mixing process easy while holding the particles together.
Now that you know what you need to get started, we can jump right into the making process.
Step 1: Mix the baking soda, Epsom salt and citric acid into a bowl. The ratio in which you mix them will depend on the number of bath bombs you want to come up with. If you want to make big and weighty bath bombs, use 1–2 cups of the dry ingredients. First put in a full cup of baking soda. Add half a cup of Citric acid then another full cup of corn starch. Use your hands or a whisk to mix them together. At this point is when you add Epsom salt if you have it.
Step 2: The next thing is to mix the coconut oil, essential oil and coloring agent in a different bowl. Note that adding too much food color might stain your bath tub.
Step 3: Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture slowly as you whisk them. Don't wait till you finish pouring the whole of it into the dry mixture to start mixing them together to avoid forming clumps. If you want bath bombs with different colors, all you need to do is to separate the dry ingredients into different portions before adding the wet mixture with respective colors.
Step 4: Once all the wet and dry ingredients are blended, take some into your hand and squeeze them well to form a chunk which you can put into the plastic or metal bath bomb mold.
Step 5: Once in the bath bomb mold, you can let it dry for 24 hours or put into a freezer for 1 hour.
Once they are completely dry, use a spoon to knock it out of the mold kind of like how you break a boiled egg.
Well there you have it. Now your bath bombs are ready for testing. Don't give up if they don't turn out as expected for your first trial. Plus, they make awesome gifts when done well, so they are worth the try.

CFNM Teens - Kat Dior
Most of the time when you watch porn, the girls outfit isn't really a huge consideration when it comes to choosing a scene. That shit is going to come off in the first five minutes anyway, so what's the big deal. But there are a few sites out there, like CFNM Teens, where the outfit stays on the whole time. And that's where you have to think, this outfit better be fucking pretty good, because I could be looking at nakedness right now, and I'm not. Let's take this scene starring the lovely Kat Dior. I just got done watching an eight minute preview with her, and I still don't know what her tits look like..

Who: Just Myself
Where: Standing Bear Lake
When: October 31st, 2013
Weather: 45 degrees and windy
Boat Type: none, I fished from shore
I had recently checked the stocking reports and noticed they had stocked a lot of trout in Standing Bear in October. I have caught trout before in Colorado and in Long Pine NE but not at the lakes in town. And knowing that trout taste delicious I figured it would be a good opportunity for me to put some fish in the freezer for the winter.
This turned out to be a good opportunity, we do not have any kids yet so while everyone one else was out trick or treating we were trying to find something to do. My wife was also under the weather that day so I rented a redbox and ordered her a pizza, tucked her in on the coach and headed for the lake.
I fished right near the boat ramp near the dock and the rocks. I only threw 2 different kinds of lures, one was a small white trout spinner, which caught 3 nice trout, a really small bass and also a decent probably 12-13 inch bass. Then I also used a light bobber with a crappie jig about 2 feet down and I would cast and pull this in. There was only one other fisherman out there that day and he was fishing off the dock catching some nice crappies.
In Nebraska the limit on trout is 5 and after catching my limit it was getting pretty cold anyways. So I headed home to clean the fish and put them in the freezer.
Enjoy the pictures!
Overall Ranking: 3 Star
The lake is a good size with depth and a good boat ramp. I just haven't every had a really good day fishing here and its always been busy.

You can read all about it on that blog if you would like to (and haven't done so yet).
You may have read that I have met Nina from Germany, who is also making a flower shop (or has already finished hers). Und, ja Nina, Ich habe es versprochenm Ich wurde wieder arbeiten als Ich zurueck war. I keep promises as you can see ;-)

hellooo my blog. i am bored so i'll type an entry before i concentrate on whatever i have for school this week. i was bad last thursday (heh). i was late for class (as usual), but i missed my quiz. i usually catch them but i guess that quiz was so easy that everyone finished early. i don't really care anymore since the only reason why i took classes this semester was just so i wouldn't be a bum at home waiting for UC admissions (which i got rejected from...i'm not insanely stupid or anything...if that's what you think. i only applied to one UC), but whatevs. i'm kind of mad that my brother has finals this week already and i won't have finals until the week after the 10th of june?
CSU is fine enough. the only thing i regret is not going to one earlier, but whatever. since everyone i know is graduating and moving back home, i guess i can hang out with them more now since they'll be around. i finally got around mailing my financial aid forms (again) today. now i just need to send in my transcripts but i'll wait until late june/ july 1st? so my spring semester grades would be in the transcripts too?
a degree is a degree. i'm sure some employers are shady as hell to only take in people from a more prestigious institution but whatever, it's their loss.
i'm coming down with a cold. i kind of "felt" it coming since coming home from the outdoor cinema food festival in downtown that i went to on saturday. i went mall wandering earlier today and then to walmart to buy some nyquil before coming home.
here are some pictures from the event/ around downtown los angeles.
|artwork i've never noticed until now? maybe it's new? lol.
i'm not sure if food trucks are popular anywhere else but they're like the fad here. literally everyone is trying to be innovative and try to create like delicious fusion type foods for an okay price. and along with the supposedly good food, is the cute names and designs for their trucks. personally, it's not that great.
|i had this one. "nom nom truck" i was won over by the cuteness of the truck...it sold banh mi and tacos. they were good...but not worth 10$
|Los Angeles State Historic Park is really nice...especially it being located by the dead crappy part of Chinatown with the abandoned warehouses and stuff...I wanna go back just to take pictures...but that's if i have a buddy
|metrorail gold line tracks with the electrified overhead wires (it's a light rail) .
|gold line train passing by.
|chinatown station with faintly lit downtown skyline...i was freezing my legs off here because the wind kept breezing and it was like 50 degrees. the train doesn't come as frequent either...so we waited for like maybe 20 minutes before the next train came. chinatown station is really nicely decorated...i should find a picture.
mike_s_etc (gorgeous, no?)
|definitely...a fun thing to do in the summer but make sure the low for the night is like...atleast 70 degrees lol.
i watched "there's something about mary" on this screen. i've never watched this movie before so it was fun. it's a comedy with ben stiller and cameron diaz that came out in 98'. i would have never gotten the humor back then anyway because i was like 10 years old. it was funny because there's this part in the movie where ben stiller's friend told him to masturbate before his date because it'll rid his mind of all it's "juices" and i looked at the audience during the masturbating scene and there was this kid who was like 11 or something who kept laughing at ben stiller "masturbating"...i have a dirty mind and all, but i don't think i had a dirty mind when i was a pre-teen, lol. even at that, i was a pretty good teenager also...lol.
on friday, i got my first ever wedding invitation to my coworker's wedding. i was like wooooah. i kept telling her that if there's someone more important that they could take my spot because i felt that i didn't really need to be there. my other coworker said like "i can't believe you said you didn't want to go" when she left and i was like "i didn't...i said that if there's someone more important then they should take my place...-___-" whatta bitch lol. i'll definitely go though...she kept insisting that i should.
2 more weeks before i'm free of my responsibilities of overseeing my devil children. WOOT. my mom asked me if i had any work for my brother to correct this weekend and i was like uhh no...that's only every other week and he's still a bitch about it (he's almost 19 and hasn't bothered finding a job yet). my mom then asked me how my kids are and i was like..."uhh bad?" lol "my boys are the ones that cry...not the girls". i also have this kid who's my boss's nephew and he's not exactly normal...he's sort of autistic, schizo, and turrets'ish.
on friday, he kept screaming out every couple minutes during an assembly and i just watched him like everything was okay...LOL. my boss was like...if he causes any problems you can take him out of class...and i'm like...i know...i did that yesterday? and then i was like...you mean right now? -.,-. when assembly was over it was even worse. he kept running around the building screaming and crying. my coworker came in like "dude...he's running around screaming and crying" and i'm like "yeah...aren't you glad you have MY class now" (because i had to switch with her in january). for the last week of school, i'm going to buy like 14 fudge sundaes from mcd's or churros from costco for my class just to show that i appreciate them for trying to be good, with or without my special kid.
that same day a boy student of mine was whining again about this other boy playing with his DS who kept touching his DS stylus so i said that i'd hold it for him incase he would lose it. it was a cute stylus that i thought was a pokemon but i guess not because this other kid said it wasn't.
|not sure if i posted those one yet.
i finished all the seasons of "the simple life" today. i like paris hilton and nicole richie so it kind of reignited my love for them haha so i bought 2 of paris's scents for men. i have her first one "paris for men" already in those sample vials so i don't really need it in retail size. the smell is nice. reviews say its really fruity (like not manly fruity either) and i like it *shrug* i guess i'm not the type that likes spicy scents? i bought her two other scents "just me for men" and "heir for men" lol i hope i like them. "just me for men" is supposedly a cheaper alternative to aqua di gio or however the fuck you spell it. they were really cheap so whatever. i only have 2 colognes anyway. i want more. i don't mind smelling like a dumb blonde whore? ;P
i also bought that revlon photoready translucent powder since my friend says powder might help me since i sweat easy and i'm just really oily and shiny in general. and when i told her i got it, she was like womg that thing made me so white and shit and i felt really bad lol. am i making horrible shopping decisions or what? lol -__-. the powder is alright. she told me to get the HD powder from ELF but i don't have 25$ of ELF stuff i want on ELF's site... i don't really see anything so horrid about it but i need to stop wasting my money on makeup...lol~

CITY'S chances of retaining the Greggs Manchester Senior Cup were helped by a high-scoring final win of the year.
Asa Hartford side's defeated Oldham Athletic 4-2 at Boundary Park thanks to a couple of late goals from Chris Shuker and Chris Killen.
Killen finished the night with a double while Leon Mike also found the target. Oldham, twice Senior Cup runners-up in the last three seasons, netted through Danny Boshell and Scott Vernon.
The Blues have now beaten Bury (twice) and United to practically ensure their place in the final.
The teams were: Oldham: Whittle, McNiven, Hotte (Smith 58), Baudet, Haining, Boshell, Dudley (Griffin 58), Salt (Doran 73), Sugden, Vernon, Hardy.
City: Murphy, Barton, Paisley, McCarthy, Day, Jordan, Whelan, Dunfield (Hogan 69), Mike, Killen, Shuker.
City's next reserve game is against Blackburn at Morecambe on January 8.

Boserup, E. (1970). Women's Role in Economic Development (1989th ed., p. 283). Earthscan Publications Limited.
Chapter 2: The Economics of Polygamy
Polygamy is apparently widespread in Africa, and is related to the economic conditions. Men with several wives can cultivate more land, produce more food for the household and can achieve higher status. This seems to be based on more wives = more children (particularly sons) = more labour! Sometimes more wives means more money, or sometimes the husband uses it as a way to increase his leisure time.
Apparently in shifting cultivation patterns, women bring in more than they cost. Particularly true as husbands do not provide them with everything they need, but they have to provide for themselves from their income. They can earn from agriculture, trade or crafts.
Men tend to be older than their wives, and they have to pay the bride's family. I don't think we'll include this in the game. There is a pecking order amongst the wives (in order of acquisition!).
Chapter 3 - Loss of Status under European Rule
Not relevant for our game.
Chapter 4 - The Casual Worker
Minimal amount of paid agricultural work, but women will take it if available (particularly if husband isn't paying for all of their clothes etc). African women play a small part in cash crops particularly from large plantations, but traditionally play a large part in food crops.

Hello Peregrine readers!
It's the third week on Peregrine Reads Interviews and joining us today is SunsamPaul Egwu; a poet, writer, instrumentalist, and yet another participant of the #PatriotsForChange independence contest.
Briefly introduce yourself
I am Sunsampaul Egwu. A poet, writer and instrumentalist. Still a student of computer science. I am from delta state, Igbo by tribe. As God may have it, I have a published novel i titled Ikenna and the Zebra. So I a nutshell, I am also a published writer. I also write motivational books but not yet published.
Where did your love for books/storytelling/reading/writing/etc. come from?
My love for books and storytelling comes from my father, Late Mr Boniface Egwu of blessed memory. He loves telling I and my siblings stories at night and he encourages us to write short stories especially folktales. Infact, my first published book on African Folktale, titled Ikenna and the Zebra, was from his inspiration.
How long have you been writing?
I have been writing right from primary school days. My dad kept telling me to never get tired of writing. A word I won't ever forget.
What kind(s) of writing do you do? (Include books, novellas, short stories, poems, blog articles, anything of interest if any)
Initially I was just into folktales. But three years ago. I thought of being versatile in literature. So, I engaged in poems and inspirational article. I do blog but not as a hobby.
What inspires you to write?
To me, if I start listing what inspires me to write, I would exceed more than five paragraphs. But to cut it short, nature, experiences and things around me inspires me to write, especially things in the slum. My environment, experience, state of mind and emotional state are among the chief things that inspire me to write.
Who are some of your favorite authors that you feel were influential in your work? What impact have they had on your writing?
First and foremost, I must confess that John Ekene Ndianefo, the Author of Blissful Ignorance, So painful. Etc, has played an important role in my field of writing. Even in my novel Ikenna and the zebra. Secondly , I will say wole soyinka. I love his works and vocab and Nnemeka Nanni boi. His novels passes lessons to me . For now, these are the three I can mention. These three are the top three.
When did you decide to become a writer?
I made a clear and concluded decision of becoming a writer, not just a writer but by the grace of God , 'a great writer' in the year 2004. When I was still based on writing folktales.
Why do you write?
I do write based on the love and passion I have in passing valuable messages via pen and paper that will add positive things in people's life, especially my motivational write up. I write as a form of self expression and more recently because there's something to be said, a perspective to be shared.
What is the hardest thing about writing?
The hardest thing about writing is avoiding the usage of malapropisms. Although no one is perfect. But we
must learn to be perfect in writing without malapropisms.
Are you a "voracious reader"? If so who are your favorite authors.
Wow. Yes of course. And truth be told, my favourite authors are wole soyinka. chinua Achebe. Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie. Nanni Boy. John Ekene Ndianefo.
What do you think is the future of reading/writing?
The future of reading and writing is so enormous that my hands can't type . But to be frank, it happens to be a leading stamp to the world. There is an expanding and growing sense of reading and writing. So the future is expected to be massive on a lot of counts.
What projects are you working on at the present?
I am working on an anthology of my poems titled My better tomorrow. Watch out for it.
What has been your achievement so far as a writer?
My achievement so far is that I have been able to publish one of my write up alone without a promoter. All thanks to God.
For your own reading, do you prefer ebooks or traditional paper/hard back books?
I prefer hard back books to e-book because e-books affect my eyes. Besides, I use glasses. So e-book is not for me. But I do read e-books occasionally If I find it educative.
What is your favorite motivational phrase?
My favourite motivational phrase is "why ask why" sounds funny, right?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
In five years time. I see myself being among the best and winning awards in my books.
Any chances you missed in the past and wish it could be reversed?
(In remembrance) Yeah. I would love to see my late dad read my published folktale. It's unfortunate he kissed the dust before it was published.
Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?
Nelson Mandela. Because his way of life touches me. I would love to tell him to teach me the way to live a life of
simplicity. (Smiles)
If you could have been the original author of any book, what would it have been and why?
It would have been king babuu. Why because i love the playwright. Thumbs up to prof. Wole soyinka!
What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
My advice to all aspirants in the citadel of writing is to not give up. Keep writing as my dad use to say. Above all, believe in God and yourself. Read as well as you write.
Is there anything else you would like to add that I haven't included?
Yeah. I was waiting for you to ask what were my challenges in writing, but I never saw it. Well, my challenges was hell. I needed to battle with the habit of neglecting short hand before I could get my book published. Even reading wasn't easy as well. But God never left me alone.
How can readers discover more about you and your work?
Readers can discover more about me via my write up. My blog. My contact. And this interview for sure. But I need to play my part in broadcasting my poems and write up more.

Links from Beth's presentation:
Also, Beth came across this great blog post in the Guardian about science writing:
And finally, Vaughn's notes on Beth's presentation:
A surprising number of major science journalists do not have science training. She covers both COLSA and CEPS in addition to office of Sustainability, a wide range of beats.
Finding the hook
600 words or less, with reporters as an audience. Major hooks include:
1) Published research
2) Grant
3) Event
4) Something new. The "ests" in the news business: newest, best, first, etc
5) Ivins: What makes you angry, or what makes you laugh?
6) So what? Save time, money, life?
7) We want heroes, great leaps, decisiveness, etc. Not typical of science.
She notes a strong backlash against speaking in jargon. Speak as if you are talking to a drunk guy in a bar. The science isn't the problem, it's the language.
Put your hook first! Doesn't have to be the facts first, but often is.
Features are rarer and have their own feel: start with a story. Rare opportunity for scientists.
How do you describe highly technical work? You are "dumbing it down," but mostly distilling your broader impacts.
Story about bike-powered washing machine. Cool, but paired with a picture. Images, pictures, films are incredibly powerful.
Great examples of images and multimedia:
C. elegans Harlem shuffle on YouTube [link]
NASA: leaders of social media. Johnson style [link]
"quantum physics lindy hop" TedX. [link]
Rihanna video and chemical cues. [link]
Beth on the state of science journalism. Newspaper shrunk 40% in the last decade. 1989, 95 papers with science sections, now, only 19 science sections. Ways to communicate have exploded, however.
She recommends that you practice saying your 1-2 sentences of distilled message over and over.
Beth's office does media training, incl. video practice. Be good to your reporters; they're on a deadline. You can offer to verify quotes or fact-check some areas.
Week 5
Howland advice: 1) know your audience and 2) know your purpose
Consider multiple audiences, not "dumb it down"
Likes sciencenews [link] and Radiolab [link] as examples.
Editorial decisions to cover stories shapes priority. How do you prepare for controversy and shape the reply? (e.g. use feel, felt, found salesmanship)

To begin outreach, consider starting with your local university paper.
Week 4
A summary of what we as a class identified as major goals/needs in website/blog design for effective communication:
- In blog design, some desire more flexibility with fewer templates. A possible solution is to identify the templates that are the most flexible (fonts, image order, header/footer, menus, etc) and post them here.
- Specifically, font choice and spacing are key. Omit needless words, and use (in general) sans-serif fonts for online media and serif fonts for those appearing in print (or being printed).
- Goal: develop your online network to mirror your personal network
- This might mean that you invest in helping your "nodes" help you by building their presence/content
- What's fixed content (pages, CV, etc)? What's flexible (posts, use of different media)? What's intermediate (LinkedIn?)?
- Websites must be current with up-to-date information, or they're worse than irrelevant.
- Needs/challenges: navigation bars on your site, contact information, head shot pictures, informative images
- Need: care for your content, using active voice, engaging pictures, etc.
A broader point that we considered is what characteristics define "effective" communication. Is it clear content that doesn't frustrate the reader, or is it design/implementation that allows that material to be shared widely (using twitter-like synopses)? How much does the reach of your content matter?
Week 3
Below is what I had written before class. Here is what we brainstormed together:
Media that you consume
Old: journal articles, books, newspapers
Recent: online/print journal articles, science news magazines (online/print), books (infrequent), online news sources, forums
Now: online journals, online aggregated news, socially-shared media, blogs, wikis.
Media that you share or discuss
Old: Letters to the editor, conference proceedings, conversation, Usenet news groups, listservs
Recent: forums, blogs, listservs
Now: online journals, customized aggregated news, professional blogs, personal blogs, twitter individuals and groups
Media that you produce
Old: journals, books, letters to editor
Recent: journals, books, personal blogs, webpages, forums
Now: all of recent, plus many sites for presubmission (arXiv.org), twitter, blog communities, wikis, tumblr, etc..

So its on Monday, around 4pm. Me and my friend Neil went out just to manja2 ourself. So we stop by at a saloon (*can't mention the name); I straightened my mee-maggie hair but Neil prefer her hair just like that. And there we were for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The straightening process started. bla bla bla..and what did I figure out?
We stepped in the saloon; there's this one lady about my age greeted us, and I dunno-why I get the wrong impression. Although she was actually greeting us with smile but what she muttered were interesting. We thought that she was trying to shush us out. So I asked, "Tempat ini buka kah?" It showed 'OPEN' at the window but because we don't get her, we get the WRONG impression/information! Luckily the boss was there (*who speak Malay la..hushh…lega..) Oh, by the way it cost me RM78 for the straightening. Gawai promotion she said!
That's the one thing, this one is more interesting. We had conversation during the process, while she was washing my hair I found out that she (*the lady mentioned just now) was new there and actually studied at the same secondary school I went to. Same year entry but she hadn't had the chance to finish her form 5. Then I thought to myself, this lady is a survivor/fighter and etc. You see, what I have in mind was that even without education she proved that skills is very useful to survive this generation. Dedicated bla bla bla..cut the crap, and at this one moment and what this lady said make me rethink again. What the heck? "sini kuat mahal o..lu pigi anty saya saloon lagi murah.." After that words, I can feel that my face turned red. A bit disappointed I think. I somehow replied her, "di mana?" but the conversation ended there when her boss call for her. Really, what she did is a betrayal. Duri dalam daging. Some people might think that it's not a big deal, but to me; it is. Imagine how would her boss react. How if I am the boss? Gosh..I'll fire her right after that. Stealing customer what! Unacceptable. I wouldn't want that type of worker.
But I can see, how the boss treated her. I had a glanced at the lady and I saw her disgusted face. Pity her but she shouldn't do that. I don't know, maybe because I don't understand mandarin. I might be wrong, I might be right. Only she knew. So, moral of the story~~be the boss is better than the worker. ~(*_')y

His chili requires one pot, maybe two if a separate one is used to cook the rice. "Throwing the vegetables into the chili does that. I also throw the (uncooked) rice in the chili and add more water. Why make another pot dirty?" The chili, although simple, is a hit with those he serves it to. "I made it for my girlfriend and she took some to her mother. Her mother said it was the best chili she had in her life," Rossi said. Rossi makes the chili a few times during the winter, but not very often.

Produced for the National Naval Medical Center in 1973, The Return of Count Spirochete is a delightful animated cartoon dramatizing the medical facts about venereal disease.
As the story begins, we join the (probably) world famous "Communicable Disease of the Year Award" ceremony, which acknowledges the one disease that has "done the most effective job of contaminating others." Smallpox, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and the common cold are all serious contenders for the coveted "Fourth Horseman."
However, in a surprising turn of events, the award goes to Count Spirochete (aka syphilis), much to the chagrin of the other contestants. In response to their outrage, the master of ceremonies then proceeds to explain in graphic detail the various reasons why Count Spirochete is deserving of the award.

Patrick Assaraf Label Media Showcase
* by Bill Kwan *
Patrick Assaraf Label media showcase was held at The Soho House on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013. Thanks to Ashley MacIntyre of MacIntyre Communications for the invite to this event. The clothing line of luxury basics catered to both the modern man and woman. The clothing line maybe basic but the fabric felt like smooth silk.
T-shirts are essential in everyone's wardrobe. These t-shirts had a great combination of style, comfort and versatility. The Peruvian cotton stretch T-shirt really work. Other clothing essentials were shown such as blazers, cashmere knits and shirts. I'm looking forward to next seasons line of clothes.

Usage of gourd/wu lou in feng shui:
To weaken sickness-related stars
To enhance personal health luck
To enhance health luck of household
To dissolve illness energies
To attract wealth and blessings
To dissipate bad luck
To improve love relationship
To boost fertility
To negate overhead beams harmful effects
To disperse sha qi (malevolent energies)
To reduce risk of traffic accidents
To serve as a gift
Things to note:
- Many gourds sold in feng shui stores have a red ribbon or
red thread tied around them, said to be for enhancement or activation purposes.
However, if the gourds are to be displayed in the locations of the No. 5 Yellow
Star and No. 2 Black Star, then the red thread or red ribbon should best be
avoided because the red colour (Fire Element) will enhance the sickness-related
stars (Earth Element).
- As with all feng shui items, once the gourd is damaged or
tarnished, it has to be replaced.

Monday Evening, December 30, 1957. Church Membership at Record Level in U. S. If churches drew up a year-enr' balance sheet on religion in Amer ica they could report impressive growth in assets during 1957. Records were set in virtually every field of religious activity that is subject, to statistical measurement. heet racked up the largest new- ;tand sales of any magazine. At first glance the balance sheet may seem completely baf- 'ling. On one side is clear evidence of a strong and growing public interest in religion. On the Reorganization Of Courts Under Study in States CHICAGO — (UP) — Court reorganization plans will be introduced in at least five state legislatures at their next session despite setbacks this year, a survey by the ed by the Connecticut legislature last yeai, while in Wisconsin the public rejected a reorganization plan that had been passed by the legislature.

There are still many areas of U. S. life in which church leaders find it difficult to detect any evidence of a genuine religious revival. On the credit side of the state- in the legislatures of Illinois, New Many clergymen believe this York, Connecticut, Wisconsin and ments would be such facts as these: Church membership soared past the 100 million mark and continued to grow at a rate of 3 per cent a year—nearly double the rate of population increase . . . Sunday School enrollment hit an all-time high 'of more than 40 million. Building Boom Spending on church construction climbed to 870-million dollars an increase of 95-million dollars over 1956 . . . more than 3,000 new congregations came into being. Contributions to religious bodies totalled about $3,500,000,000 an increase of nearly 7 per cent over last year ... the number of missionaries in foreign service rose to 22,680 — twice as many as U.S. churches sent abroad twenty years ago . ; . the bible dwarfed all other best-sellers, with estimated sales of 8-million copies. On the debit side church leaders might record another array of statistics which are hard to square with the picture of a nation on its knees: Americans spent three times as much on alcoholic beverages as they gave to their churches . . . the number of alcoholics, like the number of church members, reached an all-time high of 5- million.

Others are seeking escape from the same anieties in the age-old philosophy of "eat, drink and be merry." North Carolina. Illinois' legislature already has approved an amendment to the constitution for popular vote in 1958 which would bring into one court system all of the trial courts in the state.

The calmer of us hope that we, ourselves, will never reach the moon because we know that it will probably merely open up another area for U. S. foreign relief. The Russians made us forget that we were first with the atomic bomb, the atomic submarine, and, what's really important, the Salk Vaccine, and a way of life for the average citizen about 100 times better than that of the average Russian. Why, shucks, We had the first savings and loan association in America, 127 years ago, and now have thousands of them, and we don't know that the Russians, as yet, have a single one. Even if the Russians launch a satellite with a Shetland pony in it in 1958, we are still centuries ahead of them in our practice of individual thrift, self-care and personal freedom and fun.

I remained vigilant about Big Orange, checking my peephole before leaving and jumping when I heard her run past my door to the back garden. She always seemed to be on leash, but I didn't trust the family. They clearly didn't communicate about the dog very often and while the mother appeared contrite, her sons hadn't seemed as upset about the dog's behavior.
This compromise only lasted a few more days. One night I went to take out the trash and as usual, checked my peephole. At that precise moment Older Brother ran by my door with Big Orange a chasing him a few feet behind him, off leash. I was livid. Despite his mother's promises, they clearly had no intention of taking the situation seriously. I decided to take action. So I wrote a letter to my building manager (wow, that sounds kind of lame, I guess I wasn't being very aggressive…). As I was editing the letter the next day, both dogs ran by my apartment, off leash and alone. Again.
I delivered the letter and days passed with no word from the building manager. One afternoon he showed up at my apartment; we sat down and discussed the situation. He maintained that it was a good dog that he's known since the family got her as a puppy and he couldn't imagine her hurting anyone. I informed him stonily that should something happen to me or any of my guests, that I would hold the family and the building management company responsible, since neither was doing anything to prevent a potentially dangerous situation.
"I've informed them multiple times in the past that they need to keep their dog on a leash. If they ignore me, there's nothing I can do. I'm not legally responsible." He said in a rush. Bullshit. I took a law class and know better than that, he's responsible for their (mis)conduct against another tenant. Thank you Business Law class! [Remember this moment for a later entry!!!]
I informed him that I knew him to be legally responsible and that if he didn't do anything, he would be responsible for damages. Something bothered me though…he said "multiple times" he'd informed them of this. I asked about that and he said that they used to have problems with Big Orange attacking one particular dog. It was a small chihuahua that the owner kept on a leash and one day the unsupervised, unleashed Big Orange went for it's throat. After that dog owner complained and the family followed the leash laws until chihuahua and it's owner moved out. Interesting. So this wasn't out of character, wasn't an isolated incident and wasn't the first time the dog had been aggressive. Something about me and this chihuahua set Big Orange off, which was pretty unflattering for me. I really hope we didn't smell similar. The manager promised to enforce the leash rules and left.
For the next week things were great – Big Orange was always on leash and I started to feel safe. The only awkwardness was around Younger Brother, who showed up at my doorstep to chew me out for "going over his head to the manager" instead of talking to him about it. I should have said that it was their fault, that I had three separate incidents with their dog and had already confronted his mom about it and they didn't change. Instead, I took the coward's way out and said if he had an issue with the rules to take it up with the manager and if he an issue with the law, contact our local congressperson and I closed the door on him. Things were a bit odd after that, but in the end I was really glad I didn't yell at him, because a little while later things turned into a dangerous, bloody mess…

The title of this picture is "LOL Annunciation," which is basically amazing.
I think this is a bandwagon we can all jump on.
God, how true is this? I know it's only going to get worse as I get older…
Oh, hello! It's the nerdiest thing I've ever posted on this blog!
