Education | Fashion Revolution Week
Six years ago today, the bodies of 1,138 garment factory workers were found amongst the rubble of what was once a commercial complex in Dhaka, Bangladesh known as The Rana Plaza Collapse. The tragedy, enabled by political corruption and fueled by corporate greed, is the deadliest garment factory collapse in history. In addition to the death toll, there was more than 2,500 workers injured, most of who were women and children.

For the first time ever, this tragedy-shed light into a very real global problem - that fashion can be deadly. In response to the disaster and the international conversation around the social impact, two designers from the UK, Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro, founded Fashion Revolution.
Fashion Revolution is a non-profit organization committed to enacting genuine change and encouraging transparency in the fashion industry. The organization has designated the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh as Fashion Revolution Week where millions of people around the world call on brands to answer the question, "Who Made My Clothes," by using the #whomademyclothes via social media.
There has been progress made, but the same issues that caused the plaza collapse five years still exist today. Last year alone, there were 426 garment workers die in a total of 321 workplace incidents. We can't stop our work until people stop dying in factories, and on an even more basic level, start being treated fairly. Consumers may be more critical and brands more conscious, but a genuine long-term change means continual engagement in our efforts and in long-term systemic change.

Education | The Real Loser of the Super Bowl
The Super Bowl isn't just a big day for sports fanatics. It's a big day for the retail industry in general. Why? According to the National Retail Federation, whether it's food for a party you're attending or hosting, decorations for your place of celebration or the purchase of a new team t-shirt for good luck - consumers spent $15.3 billion dollars in preparation for yesterday's events alone.
We also can't forget that the National Football League prints and prepares shirts, hats and other team memorabilia for both sides. That's right. There are millions of dollars in merchandise that reads, "Patriots 2018 Super Bowl Champs" being shipped overseas as you read this.
As in any other major sporting event, there are eager fans that want to get their hands on championship merchandise as quickly as possible. In turn, there are also eager retailers ready to capitalize on said fans. Thus, merchandise is prepared for either team's outcome in order to ensure that no time is wasted developing winning apparel upon the completion of the event.
The league stopped recalling and destroying licensed merchandise from the losing Super Bowl team in 1996. Instead, they now work with a non-profit to send the goods to parts of developing countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Nicaragua, Armenia and El Salvador. The unwanted shirts go to places that need them and the partner non-profit gets a hefty giving in kind donation to help them meet their fundraising efforts. Seems like a pretty good situation, right? Not always. Let me provide some context for Western clothes that end up in other parts of the world.
In Kenya, locals refer to these items as, "clothes of dead white people." In Mozambique, they are often called, "clothing of calamity." Here's why:
They Diminish Local Business
It's actually a common misconception that non-profits and aid organizations distribute second-hand clothing freely in the developing world. Once these discarded clothes hit East African shores, they are often sold to local vendors or "hawkers" so they can also re-sell them at extremely low prices in their marketplace. An article by the HuffPost stated that, "A pair of used jeans can be as little as $1.50 in the Gikomba Market, East Africa's biggest secondhand clothing market in Nairobi, Kenya."
This is about 5-6% of a traditional local piece of apparel. Local makers and Artisans are feeling the blow of these low prices and are forced to slash pricing in order to stay competitive in the market.
They Fill up Local Landfills
Like any good retailer, the in-country vendors inevitably must update their merchandise in order to attract new customers. When the textiles have been picked over or are finally waning in sales, guess where they go to finally retire? You guessed it - the local landfill. They don't get to ship them off to another country like the U.S. does.
(A vendor sells secondhand clothes at a stall in the busy Gikomba market)
According to an article by Balance, more than 15 million tons of textile trash are generated each year by Americans. That's roughly 70 pounds of clothing and other textiles per person, per year. That is an astounding number when you think about what ends up getting shipped overseas! It's part of the reason why the EAC decided to put a ban on used clothes imports from the U.S. You can read the full article here. Not to mention, a full landfill impairs public health, pollutes the environment and threatens to drown some of the world's poorest countries in toxicity.
This is a product of the waste crisis that we're experiencing because of the throw-away culture we've embodied. With the ever enticing low cost of fast fashion, manufacturers are producing more, consumers are buying more, and we're throwing away more than ever before.
This blog isn't intended to dog on the NFL or make the claim that second-hand clothing in general is all bad for the developing world. I just thought this was a timely opportunity to express to our followers yet again how deep and multifaceted the fast fashion industry really is. To hopefully bring some awareness to the level of waste we're all contributing to. And how ethical fashion isn't just about purchasing power, but consideration for where and how to discard your unwanted garments too.
Education | Why I really care about Fashion Week
Let me be honest, I never really formally followed runway fashion until recently. That's because I never felt like I was their target audience. I didn't work in the industry in any capacity and I wasn't a consumer who bought designer labels, so I didn't feel the need or interest to pay attention. However, after the last few years of working in the fair trade fashion industry, I realized that fashion week was more than just identifying the latest trends and attending glamorous after-parties. It's the economics behind runway fashion that interests me as a consumer and now as a fair trade business owner.
Runway fashion is where trends are born and then carried out into the world for small and mass-market retailers alike in order to create demand. This demand can also instigate the very thing that Trove is working to re-write, fast fashion. Fast fashion being defined as clothing that is mass-produced in an expedited manner from runway to retail to capitalize on the latest trends in order to get them to market the quickest. Because of the fast nature of the production, the people who make it and the planet often pay for that cost.
So while your shirt may only cost you $10.80, there is a much higher price being paid on the other side of the supply chain. This is really why I care about fashion week. I want to produce clothing that is on trend, responsibly made and comparatively priced to those mass retailers who are more concerned with profit than the people they are exploiting.

That said, as New York Fashion Week came to an end yesterday, I wanted to give you a recap of some of my favorite shows and trends. These themes will no doubt be helpful as I start to develop my Spring and Summer 18 lines for Trove. Lines that are responsibly made and people are paid a fair wage.
Marc Jacobs: Tropical
Steering from his normal chic city vibe, his Spring 18 line was full of vibrant colors and florals galore. The collection was wildly exaggerated with big pattern plays and proportions. Combine that with the drape-y, oversized ensembles and I am stoked about the moo-moos that are no doubt going to ensue next year!

Diane Von Furstenberg: Retro
(Image credit: DVF )
From bold stripes to silky silhouettes, I loved her nod towards an era that I always felt I was meant for – the 70's! I also liked that when I looked at her pieces I could picture myself finding them at an estate sale (which is a good thing). Her incorporation of fringe in statement making places has me thinking of some fun things for the future!

Alice + Olivia: Eclectic Feminine
(Image credit: Alice & Olivia )
This line really resonated with me because I felt like it embodied a lot the things I like to incorporate into my own personal style: bold colors, femininity and just embracing the transformative nature of fashion. That on any given day, season or phase I can choose the woman I want to be. I also loved seeing that the one-shoulder and ruffles trend, particularly combined, are going to have some staying power!

Behind the Scenes of the Dhaka Collection Photoshoot
Gals. I have to admit, I didn't know if we were going to pull this one off! We have been working on it behind the scenes for months and kept running into hurdles. We had samples arrive reeeeallly late in the process. We had to make adjustments to them on the fly. We had a vital person on the patternmaking side in Nepal lose a family member, thus leaving the sewing center for an extended period of time. And our photographer cancelled the night before our photoshoot! So it was with complete and utter joy and exhaustion that our Dhaka Collection launched on Monday!
But ya know, when I think about it…that's really been the story of Trove all along. There have been hurdles every step of the way. There has always been something or someone who makes me think, "Can I actually really do this?" Starting your own business is no joke. It isn't for the faint of heart or those who throw in the towel easily, that's for dang sure! It literally involves problem solving and critical thinking skills and master/ninja warrior multi-tasking skills on the daily. Alas, we are still here and have managed to create another beautiful collection with some of our dear friends from Elegantees and the sewing center in Nepal!
First things first, we arrived at Parlor Beauty Bar at 7am ready for beautification. You know when you meet someone and you feel like you've known them for years already? That's how I felt when I met the Founder, Charlotte. Having recently opened her doors as well, we related to each other on so many levels. We laughed at the scrappiness of our personalities, how we have little to no budget to make everything look and feel beautiful, how long days and nights have us looking haggard (hey new friend with beauty secrets) and how roping in your friends for ALL THE FAVORS is just part of it. She's a complete gem and her one-stop styling lounge can cover any/all of your beauty needs. Please drop in and meet the ladies there – I promise you won't be disappointed!
Next, we headed over to our location site in Austin called, Malverde. Many people haven't heard of this hidden treasure and I don't know how! It's a bar and events venue directly above La Condesa and it has the most adorable outside patio with all the plants and pots and candle lit tables your little heart could ever want. I have been eyeing this spot for years trying to figure out how to take some pretty pictures of it and in it! When I determined the timing of the Dhaka launch and how it would be transitioning us into the fall season, I immediately thought of this venue's gorgeous rust and moss wall outside and knew we had to shoot here.
Our photographer Brandon Hill was already on-site, doing what he does - prepping, setting up, testing lighting, making everything and everyone feel calm. Meanwhile I'm a frazzled mess of eyelashes and hair that is teased so high it could talk to Jesus in the heavens at this point. Brandon and I met about a year ago over coffee and our passion for all things fair trade. At the time, he was recording a podcast and interviewing some people who worked in the fair trade space. I remember sharing with him that day my dreams of launching Trove in the next year and I'll never forget his genuine excitement for me. If you know Brandon, you know he is smart and capable and curious - all traits that I admire and also aspire to embody. I also just like people who own who they are. Not to be sexist, but I like that he's a straight male who loves ethical fashion. Head to Europe and you'll find plenty of Renaissance men, but for some reason that's rare in American culture.

Brandon actually believes in ethical fashion so much that he recently founded a company called The People Label that will connect those in the ethical goods space to digital influencers who are interested in repping more socially conscious brands. That's a game changer for us do-gooder brands! Needless to say, I'm excited to continue working with Brandon on multiple levels. I'm also happy he agreed to do a shoot with me on less than 24 hours notice and completely knocked the photography out of the park!
Our day continued with all the hustle and bustle any shoot would. In my true transparent form, I'm not here to paint a picture of deception for you. People assume that photoshoots are all bougie and glamorous when in all reality, they are grueling hard work. Having produced Noonday Collection's photoshoot for the past four years, I'm familiar with all the hard work it takes to pull off an incredible final product. There are a multitude of little stressors that have the propensity to send you over the edge at any moment if you let them. There are fans and light reflectors being whisked around for different shots. Sweat and sometimes even tears. There are models getting cut out of dresses (true story) and hair being re-tousled and moussified into submission. In the end though, it's almost always worth it!
(Behind the scenes photo by: Bela Coto)
And so, behold, our Dhaka Collection from Nepal! It was a collection that was inspired by the notion of being dressed up, not made up. There's a clear distinction for these two things in today's time. We want to be polished, but not overly done. We're not (and not trying to be) a high-end, luxury market brand. We're trying to be fun, mostly casual, functional, responsible and affordable. And we're here to laugh at ourselves when we get in wrong. But I think we really did get it right on this collection!
Artisan Spotlight | Meet Manish
Meet Manish, the manager of the sewing center in Nepal known as Kingdom Hope Garments (KHG) that we collaborate with to create our Nepal collections.
Manish came by this job unexpectedly. The previous facility manager was threatened so much by the local traffickers, he had to flee the country – leaving Manish in charge. You see local traffickers are volatile towards any individual or organization that interferes with their work, or worse, their workers. They will go to terrifying lengths to ensure those who are trying to help remedy the trafficking problem in Nepal are threatened or harmed. Therefore, we do not want to disclose any further personal information about Manish as we want to ensure his safety in Nepal.
What we can share with you is that Manish is a cheerful and resourceful man. We have had many questions and challenges as we try and source in a new country with a new partner and he has navigated them all. Without the opportunity to travel to meet everyone in KHG yet, we have had to rely on his sourcing prowess and sense of style in helping us obtain the materials we need in order to create a collection. We have shared several late night Facebook sessions with Manish selecting fabrics from the market as he virtually shops with us!
Manish has already gone to great lengths to ensure we create pieces that we not only love, but that we know will sell in the American market. For example, one time in the weeeee hours of the morning we could not find any real Dhaka that we liked through our virtual shopping. Real Dhaka is woven on both sides by hand and exudes all the vibrancy and colors of the individual threads it's composed of.
Printed Dhaka however is now more common in the marketplace in Nepal, because it's cheaper and easier to produce than real Dhaka. Alas, it is only printed on one side, and to us, not as beautiful. Instead of giving up on the search and asking us to settle, without telling us, Manish hopped on a plane and started shopping in a market in the next city!
Manish is a leader not only at KHG, but within his community. At KHG, he is a sound businessman who looks for operational flaws and system efficiencies. He keeps production smooth, seamless and on time. He is our lead correspondent on all communication with the group and helps determine pricing that is fair for both the sewing center and their clients.
In his community, it's not easy to stand up for something that could risk you and your family's lives. With his level of talent and social acumen, he could easily work in another industry. But to be adamantly and publicly against the trafficking problems that exist within Nepal is brave, to say the least. We honor him for this and we know the women at the sewing center do to.

Sabbatical, Day 37: In Between Reading, Some Links And Videos
Today, some odds and ends. In between reading some Clay Shirky, here are some links I've found.
John Martyn
The official John Martyn website reports today that BBC4 will be repeating the one-hour Johnny Too Bad documentary, and by a half-hour solo acoustic performance from 1978. Dates and times for the documentary are Friday 20th March at 10:00 pm, Saturday 21st March at 1:20 am and Sunday 22nd March at 10:00 pm. The concert is being shown immediately after the Firday 20th documentary and immediately preceding the Saturday showing. It is not being broadcast on the Sunday.
This video is doing the rounds of certain Christian blogs at present. N T Wright would be apoplectic in its denial of the physical and material in the afterlife. OK, don't take it too seriously, but this is part of the problem with much populist Christian understanding of life after death:
(Via Parables of a Prodigal World and On Coffee.)
This one is popular, too. American comedian Louis CK interviewed by Conan O'Brien on the theme, 'Everything's amazing, nobody's happy'. I watched this just after reading some more of Clay Shirky's book 'Here Comes Everybody' where he says that social change happens not once new technology is invented, but once is becomes ubiquitous. Louis talks more about how easily jaded we become with new tech:
(Via Collide Magazine and others.)
At least these are YouTube videos you can watch in the UK. From next Monday, UK viewers won't be able to see premium music videos on the site.
David Wayne has a very pointed 'failed Gospel tract'.
American pastor Mark Batterson on his rules for writing.
And that will have to do for today. I'm sure you'll find something of interest somewhere in the abvoe.
Sabbatical, Day 4
At last. I've just finished typing my summary notes of 'The Starfish and the Spider'. They exceed three and a half thousand words, so when I post them to the blog I shall certainly split them up. There are probably about seven sections in what I've summarised.
The job got finished, because the children's school was open again today. Snow still lies thick on much ground around here, including the school playground, which was out of bounds, but a path had been cleared to enable parents to get children to their classrooms this morning. Peace at last!
I made one or two phone calls this morning. I am due to travel on Sunday to Cliff College in the Peak District to spend five days studying there. Every day I enter their postcode into the five-day weather forecast section of the BBC website. Currently, heavy snow is predicted for them on Sunday. It's too early for them to consider cancelling the course, but clearly it is a possibility.
During the day, I found a particularly interesting blog post on Mark Batterson's Evotional site. Entitled 'Chief Storyteller', Batterson proposes this as a description of a senior pastor's rôle. We are called to retell 'genesis stories' that show where we have come from and where we are headed. There is an intimate connection between the past and the future, to the point that 'stories of the past … frame visions of the future.'
I think there is a lot in this. My one query (which I left in a comment on the blog) runs something like this. I see great value in this approach in that the 'genesis stories' tell us key things about our spiritual DNA, the purposes for which God called our community into being. I'm not so sure they remain the entire framing reference for all future vision. We need to make allowance for the possibility of paradigm shifts that appear to come out of nowhere and seem to bear little relation to our prior trajectory. Even where genesis stories do give us vision for the future, that vision can change shape drastically. A classic example would be the radical reinterpretation of Old Testament texts in the New Testament. In the light of Christ, OT texts bear a wieght they didn't originally carry in the minds of their authors.
Let's end today with this. I received a friend request on Facebook today and I didn't recognise the name. I sent a polite message to the person, asking her to remind me where I knew her. Back came a reply in which she admitted she didn't know me, but had seen my name on a mutual friend's list and she thought I was 'an awesome man of God'.
Well, the lady is clearly very kind, but Debbie would soon correct her misapprehension of me. I am nervous of these descriptions, not out of low self-esteem, but out of a need to protect myself. I have seen Christian leaders who believe the hype, and I wait for them to fall. I can remember one grisly example back in Kent.
Eleven years ago, I was involved in putting on a one-day conference for members of worship bands. Cutting a long story short, at the end of the evening celebration, two women went from the conference to pray with a man who should have been there but had sustained a fall. As they prayed, he felt the heat of the Holy Spirit and was healed. I emailed this story around a few networks at the time, and back came a reply from someone who ran an email group about revival: "David, you mighty man of God." I had to sit at the computer and type back immediately, explaining I hadn't even been one of the people who had prayed for the sick man. I was merely recounting the story. As I said, believing the hype is dangerous. The glory must always go to God. And not just in the times of 'success', but the opposite too. 'Though the fig tree does not blossom … yet will I praise him,' said Habbakuk.
But for those of you who might enjoy a satirical take on self-important and self-deluded leaders, I can do no better than to recommend the wonderful Brant Hansen's 417 Rules Of Awesomely Bold Leadership. Have a smile. Or a hernia, if you read too many.

A Guide to Traveling in the Spiritual Realms. At the heart of spiritual awakening lies the discovery that each of us can achieve the direct, transformative connection with the sacred realms-a connection that defines the mystic. The Journey to the Sacred Garden guides us along a well-traveled path into this extraordinary experience and includes an experiential audio CD of shamanic drumming and rattling, providing us with an effective, easily learned technique for expanding awareness and shifting consciousness safely.
The first goal: to find our Sacred Garden, a place for personal empowerment; as well as physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Once there, we learn through direct experience that the garden can be used as a gateway into the other levels of the inner worlds.
Anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., reveals that our garden operates by four primary rules:
>1. Everything in the garden is symbolic of some aspect of ourselves or our life experience.
>2. Everything in the garden can be communicated with, enhancing understanding.
>3. The garden can be changed by doing work.
>4. When you change your garden, some part of you or your life will change in response.
Anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., received his doctoral degree from the University of California at Berkeley and has worked with an international group of scientists for much of the past 30 years, exploring Eastern Africa's Great Rift Valley in search of answers to the mystery of human origins. Born in New York, Dr. Wesselman served in the U.S. Peace Corps and has taught for Kiriji Memorial College and Adeola Odutola College in Nigeria; the University of California at San Diego; the West Hawai'i branch of the University of Hawai'i at Hilo; and California State University at Sacramento. He currently resides in Northern California, where he teaches at American River College and Sierra College and offers experiential workshops and presentations in core shamanism worldwide. He is the author of Spiritwalker, Medicinemaker, and Visionseeker.

The Evening Standard has launched a campaign to bring an end to the wasteful use of billions of environmentally damaging plastic straws (http://bit.ly/2DEjm6v)
Over the last week a lot of famous chefs have joined the movement and made a pledge to not use plastic straws. Roberts is now joining the campaign! We are incredibly proud of everything Dorset! That is no secret. We hate the thought of our beautiful Jurassic coast and all its amazing marine life being destroyed by plastic straws. We are now stocking Biodegradable Alternatives. We ask our customers to think about switching to alternatives that are kinder on the planet.
The questions we have for you is why are you using plastic straws?! They are a clear example of completely unnecessary single use plastic that is used for an average of just 20 minutes then discarded. Every straw on the planet right now will outlive everyone reading these words. Some problems seem too big to tackle. This problem isn't. We can do it if we all work together!
Single use plastic straws have a devastating impact on wildlife. Each year at least a million seabirds and hundreds of thousands of marine mammals slowly die when they entangle themselves or ingest plastic pollution.Not only is it impacting marine mammals, it is affecting the seafood that we eat.
Ask one of lovely sales team for more information on biodegradable alternatives. Together we can make a change!

The subject may be considered under the following heads:—
I. What contracts of sale are within the statute.
II. What delivery and acceptance of the goods are sufficient to satisfy the statute.
III. What is held to amount to earnest or part
IV. Of the note or memorandum required by the
Section I.— What Contracts of Sale are within the Statute.
Executory Executory contracts. It seems to have been formerly held, that the statute did not extend to executory contracts in general. In the case of Clayton v. Andrews (b), a contract to deliver, within three weeks or a month, a quantity of wheat,
(b) 4 Burr. 2101.
which at the time was unthreshed, was held not to be within the statute. To remedy the inconvenience of such a construction, it was enacted by Lord Tenterden's Act(c), that the provisions of the 9Geo.1v. 17th section of the Statute of Frauds "shall "extend to all contracts for the sale of goods of "the value of ten pounds sterling and upwards, "notwithstanding the goods may be intended to be "delivered at some future time, or may not, at the "time of such contract, be actually made, procured, "or provided, or fit or ready for delivery, or some "act maybe requisite for the making or completing "thereof, or rendering the same fit for delivery." It was observed by Grose, J. (d) on the abovementioned case of Clayton v. Andrews that, if by executory contracts were meant contracts to be executed on a future day, the decision would be tantamount to a total repeal of the 17th section. Although that case had been overruled(e) long before the passing of Lord Tenterden's Act, a distinction was still recognised, in executory contracts, between cases, where the subject matter of the contract existed in solido, and cases where it had no substantial existence at the time, but required something to be added before it should be in the

The principle here laid down, though cited by the Court in the overruled case of Clayton v. Andrews as the ground of that decision, was distinguished from the latter case, and acknowledged to be good law(V). Again, where the contract was for the purchase of several oak pins, which were not made at the time but had still to be cut from the slabs, the case was held not to be within the statute (A). On the other hand it was decided, that a contract with a miller for the sale of flour, which at the time was not ground, was within the statute(i). There would be some difficulty in reconciling these decisions; and cases may readily be conceived, where the distinction between contracts strictly for the sale of goods, and contracts for work and labour to be added to materials, might give rise to questions of great nicety. The statute therefore seems to have wisely removed the distinction altogether. Auction*. Sales by Auction(lc). It was formerly doubted,

Marijuana Christmas Gift Ideas
Now that all of the turkey has been consumed and the Thanksgiving marijuana has been consumed, I'm sure many TWB readers are looking ahead to Christmas. Everyone knows (or is) a marijuana consumer that is reading this post and chances are you are looking for good marijuana themed Christmas gift ideas for people that are like minded. Here is a list of marijuana themed things that I will be giving out this holiday season…If you are on my holiday list and you want to be surprised, you should probably stop reading:
Treats made with cannabis butter are always a solid idea. Who doesn't like a dank marijuana brownie or cookie on Christmas? I know a lot of people that just prefer the marijuana butter so they can get inventive themselves. Also, if they get a chunk of marijuana butter and want to make the treats themselves later, they will get the 'fresh out of the oven experience.' Either way, it's a great idea for the holidays.
Marijuana vaporizers are always a hot item. Obviously if you are flush with cash you want to get a Volcano, but even if not, prices for quality alternatives are very reasonable these days.
Marijuana movies are always an excellent idea. Click the link for my personal top ten, and many, many more suggestions in the comments section.
Membership in a Norml, Americans for Safe Access, Marijuana Policy Project, or a local organization such as Oregon Green Free is a GREAT idea for any marijuana consumer. It gives the recipient something to do all year long and helps a worthwhile cause; it's the gift that keeps on giving!
Blunt wraps and rolling papers are a great idea for the old school smoker. I know that I personally love getting zig zags and royals in my stocking…
Marijuana pipes, bongs, and bubblers are obvious ideas. We all have that friend that is smoking off the same metal piece of crap that they've had for years on end. Perhaps it's time to go to the local head shop and drop a few bucks on a new marijuana piece. Another gift that can be purchased together with the marijuana piece, or to accompany a marijuana piece that the receiver already has, is a marijuana bong/pipe/bubbler pouch or container. Every quality marijuana smoking device needs a good home, so find one that is protective while also resembling the taste of the gift receiver.
Hemp clothing is a great gift idea. If I had to guess, out of the thousands of tokers I know, maybe 5% of them actually own a quality hemp item such as a shirt, pants, backpack etc. I know a lot of people with hemp jewelry (another gift idea), but giving them the gift of an actual clothing item can not only make them happy, it can increase awareness about how much superior hemp is than most common fabrics that people purchase at chain stores.
A very nice gift idea is a container for marijuana. This can be something that you customize from around the house, something you buy at a smoke shop, or if you are really looking to knock their socks off, check out the bud vac jar. I've never seen anything that keeps marijuana fresher for longer, period. Plus the people that run the company are some of the nicest people I have ever met.
One of the cheapest and most useful marijuana gift ideas is wooden kabob sticks. I know what some readers are thinking, "WTF is he talking about." Anyone that owns a marijuana bong, pipe, bubbler, waterfall or gravity bong needs a poker on a regular basis. Chances are, you have rigged some other device (such as a clothes hanger) for this purpose, and it is caked with resin. If not, then you probably don't have anything at all. You spend valuable lung space and time trying to 'suck it through' when you are consuming marijuana with friends, or are toking at a friend's house using their clogged piece. With wooden kabob sticks (less than $2 at my local walmart), you get dozens if not over 100 pokers. You can use them until they are fully resined and then discard them and use another. It's one of the biggest stoner revolutions that I ever witnessed when my first roommate showed me what was up.
Almost every marijuana consumer that I know can never have enough lighters. Bics only please; crack torches are not preferred.
If your friend or family member is a marijuana grower, than marijuana grow supplies are always a GREAT idea. I know I personally would like a high end PH/Nutrient/Temp hydroponic tester, or a new CO2 regulator, or better yet, just go with the gift certificate to the local grow store. It will get used guaranteed!
Stoner Fluxx is one of the funnest marijuana games that I have ever played. It is a marijuana card game that I haven't seen too many places on the shelf, but it is extremely easy to find online. Maybe there are other marijuana card games or board games that are stoner friendly too…if so, drop me an e-mail so I can check them out!
Joint rollers and grinders are a good idea for that friend that either loves doobies, or is really bad at rolling them. You know this type of friend; the one that doesn't break up the herb enough and on top of it rolls super pregnant joints. You can help them out on the down low by giving them the grinder and roller tandem pack.
A scale is always a fun and useful gift for any marijuana consumer. Whether your friend just wants to make sure he/she is not getting ripped off, or wants to make sure they are under their medical marijuana limit, or they just want to break down some marijuana for whatever reason, a scale is the perfect gift. Most people will purchase a digital scale of course, considering prices have plummeted so much in the last ten years. However, I always thought it would be cool to have an old school triple beam as a decoration and conversation piece for my pad (hint hint).
Marijuana books and magazines are a great thing to purchase for any marijuana fan. Whether it's a subscription to High Times, or a book by Ed Rosenthal, or any other written publication, it's a solid idea especially for joint rollers. I have my 'special' marijuana book (the closet cultivator) that I always roll my joints on. I love to read it, and roll with it - a two for one gift!
If your friend or family member doesn't have a marijuana kief box, they are pretty cool. Although, it takes quite a bit of duff/shake to get your kief on, so make sure that your friend/fam has enough around to use it regularly. I have seen many people get marijuana kief boxes for Christmas, just to realize that they never have enough scrapes around to use it. However, with more and more people growing marijuana these days, and the availability on the rise, these are becoming more and more popular. Get a good one that is hand held sized — a kief box that takes two hands to shake is pretty lame in my opinion. I like a good medium sized one personally.
If you're looking for a cheap item, burn a CD with your friend/fam's favorite songs to smoke to. This of course can be songs directly related to marijuana, or just songs that remind the receiver of times they were sm0king marijuana. If the person is new to marijuana, make them a CD of songs that you like to increase their exposure to the marijuana culture.
Stuff to clean bongs, pipes, and bubblers are always useful. You can get cleaner from any local head shop, but the link I included in this paragraph shows a really easy method that only takes salt and rubbing alcohol. You can probably stock your buddy up for a whole year at rock bottom prices!
And of course the most obvious gift - MARIJUANA NUGS! All of the gifts that I have mentioned previously are not nearly as awesome without marijuana. Get creative and put a nug inside something cool. Or if you're giving a gift to someone like me, then just give them a good old sandwich bag full of lush stinky chronic. I guarantee you won't hear any complaints about the gift wrap!

Hi All,
I was hooked on extensions last year, kinda of got tired of all the maintenance, quit.. and now here I am again with new extensions.
Instead of going to my regular salon, I decided to go the more economic route - groupon deal. I paid 89 (87? confused) dollars for a full set of extensions + 1 fill. The lesson I learned is - you get what you paid for.
Well.. the procedure lasted only 45 minutes, compared to the two hours my previous salon took. The experience wasn't as professional as my usual place, and here are the results.
This time, I went with 15mm (last time I had a mixture of 13mm and 14mm). I asked for a mix of 14mm and 15mm so it could look dramatic and natural at the same time, but I think the person just used all 15mm.
As you can see, the left side was done in a pretty shoddy manner.
The lashes are pointing all over the place, while the right side fans out in a pretty manner.

Choosing Curriculum Resources
In its broadest sense, curriculum is the whole of the plan for education and formation. The overarching educational and nurturing plan of all that you intend to do to inform, form, and transform people of all ages as Christian disciples is your curriculum. The particular books, study materials, videos, activities, and so forth that you choose to use as tools to accomplish your plan are the curriculum resources. We often use the shorthand term curriculum to refer to the specific resources. These resources are basic tools for Christian education and formation, and we encourage you to use them.

(Box Score versus Copley) (Season Stats 2016)
Brunswick, Ohio – The Brunswick High School Men's Soccer Team's record setting campaign ended last night in heart breaking fashion, in a dramatic penalty shootout, by the score of 2-1 to the Indians of Copley in the district semifinal round of the OHSAA State Tournament. Second seed Brunswick suffers its first loss of the year and closes 2016 with a 13-1-4 overall record.
Third seeded Copley improves to 12-5-1 on the year and moves on to the District Final versus Medina. That match will be played Saturday evening at 4:00 pm at Highland High School.
The pre-match hype surrounding the game proved true as both teams were ranked high in multiple state polls throughout the year. Both team's brought out the best in the other for a scintillating match.
In the first half, Copley had slightly the better of the action, out shooting Brunswick by a mark of 4-3. However, Brunswick held a slim edge on corner kicks (1-0) and shots on goal (1-0).
In the second half, things became much more lively. In the 55th minute, a Brunswick set piece nearly produced the match's first goal. Senior captain and midfielder Ryan Scott found the ball rolling across the six-yard box and had a goal bound effort denied on the line by goalkeeper Jared Miller.
Miller's ensuing distribution was mis-cleared by the Blue Devil defense and Vinny Worner was played in behind for a break-away. Worner's effort from inside the penalty area went past Blue Devil goalkeeper and captain Gavin Leindecker and into the net.
This was the first time all-season that the Blue Devils were trailing in a match.
However, the response was fantastic from Brunswick. The offense woke up and after several positive minutes of play, Scott was played in behind the defense and was taken down in the box for a penalty kick. Senior captain and defender Ben Clouse converted the effort to knot the game at 1-1.
During the closing minutes, both teams played at a frenetic pace and traded chances. In the 73rd minute, Christian Harter had a long range effort that was snagged out of the air by Leindecker.
With just under two minutes remaining, senior forward Cory Gilbert got in behind the Copley defense and drew Miller off his line but Gilbert's chipped effort was snagged out of the air.
Moments later the whistle blew and the game was headed for golden-goal overtime.
In the first overtime, Copley nearly found the winner just 20 seconds in, as Jared Mattei slid for a ball rolling across the goal line off a pass from Worner, but he was unable to poke the ball into the goal.
In the 87th minute, Worner would find himself all alone with a shot from 12 yards, but Leindecker produced a stellar save down to his left.
Copley continued to dominate proceedings until the first overtime ended.
In the second overtime, Copley would continue to press for the winner. A long range effort from Evan Malpass nearly found the top corner but Leindecker again produced a world class save to keep the game alive.
The game would draw to a close with the dreaded penalty-kick shoot out set to decide the winner.
In the first frame, junior midfielder Nick Felician scored to Miller's left. His effort was not matched as Worner missed his kick high and to the right.
In the second round, Clouse hit the cross bar and Jared Mattei scored to even proceedings.
In the third set, Leindecker and Copley defender Bryan Klyne both scored.
In the fourth set, Miller made a spectacular save on senior captain and defender Luke Steinkamp. Evan Malpass scored to give Copley the lead.
In the final round, Gilbert scored first to tie the kicks at three, but unfortunately Christian Harter slipped a ball past Leindecker for the final margin.
Coach Dotson was upset following the match. "Its emotional. Its a terrible way to end a game. I would much prefer someone beats us on a great play than kicks from the spot. Our kids gave everything they had tonight and we came up just short. We had a spectacular season, one for the books. Best of luck to Copley moving forward, they are a great team with a great coach."
Dotson was even more upset when asked about the seniors has losing. "We lost some great seniors tonight who took this program to a new level. They will be very much missed. They went on an amazing four-year journey together and I am so proud of them."
Leindecker earned Man of the Match Honors in his final game in Blue Devil uniform for his spectacular game.
Coach Dotson thought Leindecker was brilliant. "Gav did what he has been doing since his freshman year...keeping us in games. We could have lost multiple times in overtime, but he refused to let his team down. Over the past four years, he has grown so much…just so proud of him. Four years ago, we challenged him to set every goalkeeping record possible…mission accomplished. "
Leindecker took the loss with six saves. Miller took the win on five saves.

Tyres, a matter of compromise
Unfortunately, modern technology has yet to produce the perfect tyre, delivering flawless performance in all conditions on all roads. So before you choose your tyre, you need to decide which performance criteria are most important for you. From a technical point of view, certain criteria can work against each other. For example, a tyre designed to increase energy efficiency and save fuel will have lower wet grip performance, and vice-versa.
For standard passenger cars, premium brand tyres ensure a good overall performance balance, with little or no compromise. In other words, these tyres don't need to sacrifice certain criteria (e.g. aquaplaning resistance) to achieve others (e.g. tyre life).

As I began to read about Saul, I was reminded of the Rolling Stones song You Can't Always Get What You Want. Saul is such a sad character. He started out so well–obedient, humble, faithful. Samuel, after anointing Saul as king, even goes so far as to say this to Saul:
Once these signs have happened to you, do whatever you would like to do, because God is with you.
Now that is a blank check! Of course, knowing the rest of Saul's story, it is not what it sounds like here. God ultimately rejects Saul as king because Saul is not faithful and obedient to God. Saul can do whatever he wants to do insofar as it is in line with the will of the Lord.
This is a good reminder for us. The Lord is on our side as Christians and Jesus did say that whatever we asked for in his Name would be answered. Yet the truth is that when we ask in his Name, we are asking according to his will. Just like Saul, this is not a blank check to get what we want in life. Let us use Saul as a warning. If we live according to the will of the Lord, we will be content. If we do not live according to God's will…You can't always get what you want.

CBD cannabis available in our shop physics and available for buy online. CBD legal marijuana. The marijuana's CBD It contains a percentage of less than 0.2% and higher percentages of CBD THC, normally used for therapeutic purposes, is able to relieve pain and produce more relaxing sensations without psychoactive effects.
Who can you help cannabis strains with CBD?
At the beginning thought that the main function of cannabidiol was to counteract the effects of THC psychoactive, but there is evidence showing that, from the medical point of view, the CBD It has a great impact by itself. It seems to be especially promising for conditions that are difficult to treat, as the Crohn's disease , e disorderpost-traumatic stress and the multiple sclerosis . Lately, is one of the rarer conditions, the Dravet syndrome that you are receiving much attention both the medical community and the public.
The Dravet syndrome It is a particularly debilitating form of epilepsy that affects children and is notoriously resistant to current treatment methods approved. Victims suffer from seizures, often up to one hundred per day, which gets worse as they get older and can be potentially fatal. Currently, treatment methods include the child to use a patch in the eye, specialized diets and brain surgery, but all have mixed success rates.
The CBD can be administered in different ways. The most widespread method of medicinal marijuana, although not the most healthy, is smoking this substance.
Other forms of consumption, increasingly more popular is to spray it, since the vaporizers terpenes and cannabinoids extracted without burning plant material such as smoking.
However, another way of consumption is oral either by direct ingestion of CBD-rich oils or by adding these oils in foods or beverages or preparing edible oils or butters of marijuana.
Different ratios in the varieties of CBD.
Ratio is the ratio quantified between two values reflecting their proportion, whereupon the CBD:THC ratio is the ratio between the CBD and THC containing different varieties of cannabis.
The CBD acts to counteracting the THC psychoactive effects, offering a more satisfactory experience and to increase the relaxing effects it helps to reconcile more easily sleep.
- Ratio 1:0 -Refers to the strains that contain high THC content. These they are euphoric, happy varieties, promote laughter. The side effects of high levels of THC can be: paranoia, anxiety, and tachycardia.
- Ratio 2:1 -Refers to varieties that you can feel the maximum level of THC, but to have the presence of CBD will produce a more relaxing effect. In this case, the side effects are minor because that reduces the risk of anxiety, tachycardia, or paranoia.
- Ratio1:1 - It contains the same proportion of CBD to THC, and is psicoativa. There are strains of cannabis which provide a relaxing effect, but achieve a slightly euphoric and peaceful State. This 1:1 ratio has medicinal properties for a wide range of conditions such as insomnia, fibromyalgia, autism, etc. Its side effects are virtually zero.
- Ratio 1:2 -Contains double the content of CBD to THC and is mildly psychoactive. This proportion is ideal for sensitive patients, or those who prefer not to take drugs. Having a content very high CBD will produce that they will not feel the effects of THC.
- Ratio 0: 1 -Produces an overall improvement in the mood, in addition to provide a high therapeutic value in the treatment of disorders such as epilepsy. It has no side effects. In this group is the legal marijuana we sell in Ganesh Grow Shop

….moves to reduce hazard with road safety leadership program
The incessant loss to numerous crash accidents witnessed in the country has necessitated the take-off for a road safety leadership program intended to develop leadership capabilities in road safety planning, implementation, management, and operations; and ultimately help reduce the number of road crashes on the roads of Africa.
The program which is in its second edition kicked off at the African Development Bank (AFDB) headquarters in Abidjan, on Monday, February 4, through a collaboration with the Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP), an international partnership hosted by the World Bank.
According to the AFDB, growing vehicle ownership and rapid urbanization across the continent are factors which have increased the incidence of road accidents.
"The ensuing socio-economic impacts are harming the continent's development. The economic loss caused by road crashes in Nigeria, for example, is estimated at 3% of the country's GDP," the bank explained.
For Morocco, the GDP loss is estimated at 2.5%. Furthermore, deaths and injuries affect countless families and friends of crash victims. Nearly 50% of the victims are pedestrians, cyclists or motorcyclists, who are exposed to multiple hazards and often chaotic conditions on Africa's roads, the bank further revealed.
It indicated that the leadership program is part of the systematic and appropriate solutions from governments and societies to prevent the grief and distress experienced due to the loss of life or loss of the quality of life.
"Our contribution to this important SSATP event is an effective way for the Bank to engage with its regional member countries to bring about positive changes and sustainable effects which contribute to Africa's development and improve the lives of African people," said Girma Bezabeh, road safety specialist at the African Development Bank.
According to Tawia Addo-Ashong, senior transport and road safety specialist at the SSATP, more than 300,000 people lose their lives every year on the roads of Africa and the situation is getting worse.
"The SSATP has a mission to reverse the trend. The Road Safety Leadership Program can help to strengthen the region's capacity for handling road safety challenges while building a network of peers and champions who can advocate for, and support, road safety interventions at the regional, national and municipal levels," Addo-Ashong said
High-level specialists from the SSATP, the African Development Bank, the World Bank, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and academia, will share their experiences on improving road safety through practical examples and best practices.
The bank also disclosed that the program is being attended by senior representatives of African ministries of transport, health, interior, and national road safety agencies; African sub-regional and regional organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and stakeholders from eight African countries including Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe.

A trio of custom audio processors
In sync with Dangerous Music's doctrine of tonal coloration as a per-project artistic choice, the 2-Bus+ features three separate custom audio processors that let you selectively add tone and color to your mixes. In parallel-processing mode, you can deploy "Harmonics," a tuned harmonic distortion generator and "Paralimit," a FET limiter on steroids. You can apply both of these across your stereo mix or on a pair of stems. "X-Former" kicks in a pair of custom transformers with core-saturation control on your stereo mix outs. You can have all three tone processors active concurrently, and you can flip the order of signal flow through distortion and limiting.
Outstanding flexibility
Dangerous Music knows that each engineer - and session - is unique, so they designed the 2-BUS+ for outstanding professional flexibility. They spec'd it with an XLR stereo insert before the outputs for adding a separate compressor or processing chain that you can bypass at the touch of a button for a quick reference comparison. Channels 1/2 and 9/10 can be set to mono to route, for instance, vocals/bass and kick/snare each to own mono input. They also gave the 2-BUS+ an output control stepped in .5dB increments from -4dB to +6dB, and included XLR connections for both the Main and Monitor outputs.
Gang 'em for high channel count
Need a full-on analog "console" summing experience? Gang together multiple 2-BUS+ units via the Stereo Expansion Inputs XLR to create a customized channel count. For the ultimate in tonal flexibility and control, the custom audio processors on each unit apply across the ganged group output. With three units, for instance, you'll have 48 channels of analog summing, with the first two units employing Harmonics (distortion), and Paralimit (limiter) across two separate stereo stems, and the third unit applying X-Former transformer saturation on the master stereo outputs.
- 16 inputs, two outputs
- Transformer with Saturation Control
- FET Limiter with Blend Control
- Harmonics Emphasis Control
- External Insert Loop

Okay, when I saw this headline, Vulture in Saudi Custody Suspected as Mossad Agent , I assumed that "vulture" was some sort of new slang term in the world of espionage, perhaps like a "mole." But no, apparently some Saudis suspect that a carrion-eating bird was spying on them. I'm not sure which specific breed of vulture the authorities arrested, but here's what an Egyptian vulture looks like:
So when I started reading the article I assumed that the bird must have been carrying a camera or some other device with which it could spy on Saudi Arabia. As it turns out the perp was carrying a GPS transmitting device. Using this nefarious device the Mossad may have uncovered the location of Saudi Arabia. You might be thinking that the Saudis must have done some tricky, investigative work to learn that the bird hailed from Israel. As it turns out the Israelis had tagged the bird with a leg band which said, "Tel Aviv University". It's just like those Israelis to broadcast their activities in order to keep them … secret… or something???. The Israeli cover story is that the GPS device is being used to see how high these birds fly and how far they travel. For instance, researchers at the university have learned that these birds wintered in the Sudan prior to traveling to Saudi Arabia.
The same news article noted that only a few weeks ago Egyptian officials voiced suspicions that a shark who was attacking people off the Sinai coast was also working on behalf of the Mossad. I have heard of "Islamaphobia" but it would seem that "Israiliphobia" — or perhaps just "Mossadaphobia" — is sweeping the Arab world.

Each year during the club's annual meeting a slate of members are elected by the general membership to act as Director's. Ponderosa Aero Club is fortunate to have dedicated members that take the time from their personal schedules to oversee the general operations and address the many unseen challenges that come with keeping a successful operation the caliber of PAC going.
Cam Echanis
In June 2011, my girlfriend gave me a Discovery Flight for my birthday. Jokingly she wrote on my birthday card "now we can fly to McCall…" Up to that date, I never considered flying and only been in private single engine planes a handful of times. On February 12th of 2012, I took my Discovery Flight with Dave Moler and that was it, I was hooked. After the flight and debrief was complete, Dave asked me how I liked it and all I could say is "where do I sign?" A year later, I had my private pilot license.
This is one of the most exciting things I have ever done and enjoy continuing education and camaraderie of aviation. Flying has taken the place of some of the exciting things I did in my younger days, great to have a passion.
From the time of my Discovery Flight, my experience with Ponderosa Aero Club has been outstanding. My hope is that this club continues to provide great experiences for novice aviators as well as the experienced pilots. I feel compelled and obligated to continue the great experiences I have had with PAC and my aviation opportunities.
I own N4427R and N4312R and was on the board from 2013-2017.
Chellie Terry
I joined Ponderosa Aero Club last spring, earning my PPL on October 3, 2018 with the help of instructor Rick Reirson. In my family's Citabria, I earned a tailwheel endorsement in March 2019. I come from a family of pilots and feel so honored and humbled to join them in the aviation realm. My husband and I have 2 children, age 7 and 9. I am a physical therapist, working at Saint Alphonsus. As a physical therapist, I am constantly solving problems, educating, giving constructive feedback and working as a member of an interdisciplinary team for the best interest of the patient. I am ready to use these skills to become a productive member of the PAC board and assist in achieving a positive, dynamic club environment. Because of my new membership, I bring a fresh, outside perspective to the board. I came to the club as a student pilot seeking instruction and am now an active member - two distinct areas that I can share experience and weigh in on. As I approach my one year anniversary as a member, I would like to give back to the club that helped me accomplish my dream. Volunteering for the board is a perfect start.Read More
Gil Kirkpatrick
I started flying gliders in 1980 in Warrenton, VA. After a brief flying hiatus, I got my private glider certificate and later worked weekends as a commercial pilot and CFI-G at the Plymouth, MA airport during the 80's and 90's. After getting married and moving to Phoenix, AZ in 1994, I got my SEL certificate flying Cessnas out of Sky Harbor. I raced gliders cross country from the Sonoran Desert all the way up to the Grand Canyon, and I was President of the Arizona Soaring Association for a while. My wife and I (now with three kids) moved to Australia in 2009 where I flew LSAs and ultralights, and also served as the Vice President of the South Coast Recreational Flying Club based at Jasper's Brush, NSW. Personally, Kiry and I have been married for 27 years, and have three children. Molly and Scott are attending the University of Wollongong in Australia, and my youngest, Ryan, is attending the University of Idaho up in Moscow. Professionally, I'm an executive for a small software company based in Australia specializing in network security, identity, and access control. I've served on the PAC Board for the last two years and have developed a good working relationship with Janna and the other Board members. We've had good success getting our financial and administrative house in order and can now look to the longer-term health and growth of the club. My two main areas of interest are to 1) increase the amount of social flying we do (as distinct from training flights), particularly to back country or near-back country strips, and 2) to increase the selection of aircraft we have available to club members.Read More

Iraq Elections To Go Forward
Iraq's deputy prime minister said holding elections in January will be "a serious challenge," but he insisted Sunday they must go ahead as scheduled. As part of the effort to address security concerns, U.S. troops and Iraqi paramilitary police arrested 43 suspected insurgents in the northern city of Mosul, the military said.
In Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, a car bomb exploded outside a high school, killing six people and injuring five others, reports CBS News Correspondent Charles D'Agata. Two American soldiers were injured in an attack on their convoy in Baghdad.
Over the weekend, Iraq's most powerful Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, signaled he feels the elections should not be delayed. The long-repressed Shiite majority he represents has the most to win from democracy.
Sunni leaders, on the other hand, have urged that elections be delayed until the violence that wracks predominately Sunni areas of the country fades. The Sunni's have long controlled Iraq, despite their minority status, and had special favor under Saddam Hussein.
Elections are a prerequisite for pulling out U.S. and British troops.
Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh said delaying the scheduled Jan. 30 vote would have "serious ramifications to the political process" and would bolster the cause of terrorists.
"Under the law it cannot be postponed and the government is working on the premise that the elections will be held on time," Saleh told the British Broadcasting Corp.
Saleh, a spokesman for interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, a secular Shiite, said Saturday the government was sticking by the Jan. 30 date after receiving assurances from the Iraqi Electoral Commission that an election could take place even in Sunni areas wracked by the insurgency.
Saleh acknowledged there were security problems in certain areas but said the assault on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah would deny the terrorists "a major safe haven."
"Sticking to that timetable will be difficult, will be a serious challenge," he said. "But delaying elections will be much more difficult because it will have serious ramifications to the political process, to the issue of legitimacy, and surely all of us do not want to give the terrorists the slightest of technical wins in that situation."
The blast in Samarra occurred as a minibus drove past a school in the 7-Nissan district of the city, said police Maj. Qahtan Mohammed. All the casualties were passengers in the minibus, he said.
U.S. and Iraqi troops regained control of Samarra from insurgents during military operations in September but the city remains uneasy.
In Mosul, the 43 suspected insurgents were arrested as part of an ongoing operation to re-establish control of Iraq's third-largest city, a military statement said.
Members of Task Force Olympia — which is responsible for security in Mosul and northern Iraq — and Iraqi police commandos conducted a series of raids throughout the city on Saturday, the statement said.
At least 50 people have been killed in Mosul in the past 10 days. Most of the victims are believed to have been supporters of Iraq's interim government or members of its fledgling security forces.
The killings appear to be part of a campaign of violence against government supporters launched by rebels after an armed uprising in the city earlier this month. The bloodshed has cast doubt on the Iraqi forces' ability to protect the country.
Elsewhere, two U.S. soldiers were injured early Sunday when a car bomb exploded next to their military convoy on the road leading to Baghdad's airport, a military statement said. The bomb damaged one vehicle, the military said, and two soldiers were taken to a military hospital.
The military statement said there were no reported civilian casualties. But the interim government's Youth Ministry reported that its general director, Ahmed Faiq, and his bodyguard were injured in the attack.
Fadhil Jawad, who said he watched the attack from his roof, described a late-model luxury car overtaking the six-vehicle convoy moments before exploding in a ball of fire.
Jawad said two Humvees in the convoy were destroyed by the blast and the rest scattered off the road. Two Black Hawk helicopters arrived to evacuate wounded soldiers, he said.
A military spokesman said he could not comment on the report that two vehicles were destroyed.
The highway leading from downtown to the international airport is considered one of the most dangerous stretches of road in Iraq for U.S. troops. Insurgents regularly target military convoys and combat patrols on the busy thoroughfare.
