LEGO Batman Movie
The much-anticipated and long-awaited LEGO Batman Movie is almost here. I've been talking about it for almost a year now and have shared the movie trailers for all of my fellow LEGO and Batman fans. But just in case you've missed it, here's the latest trailer…

About The LEGO Batman Movie
In the irreverent spirit of fun that made "The LEGO® Movie" a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker's hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
Will Arnett reprises his starring role from "The LEGO Movie" as the voice of LEGO Batman, aka Bruce Wayne. Zach Galifianakis ("Muppets Most Wanted," the "Hangover" films) stars as The Joker; Michael Cera (TV's "Arrested Development") as the orphan Dick Grayson; Rosario Dawson (TV's "Daredevil") as Barbara Gordon; and Ralph Fiennes (the "Harry Potter" films) as Alfred.

Home security is of the utmost importance. Homeowners are gradually becoming more concerned about crime. This leads home dwellers to purchase home security systems to protect their families and homes. The problem many people have is there are many home security options available, which makes choosing the right system difficult. The goal is to find a system that fits the homeowner's needs, perfectly.
Research was performed by Wirefly regarding the top home security systems for the Woolford, MD area. Researchers at the company talked to industry experts and others in the home security field. Customers who are currently using one of the top security systems were also an intricate part of this study. This will provide homeowners with the most precise and current information. The information we gathered should help home dwellers decide which home alarm and security company will best suit their needs.
Reviews of the top home security companies will be provided, and there are a few things one should look for when looking for a security system that the company will explore as well. Knowledge is the key to making the right choice.
Woolford, MD residents have access to many security companies that offer various features. Each company offers something different, and the prices vary. The most important thing to keep in mind is that a customer must find a system that will suit his or her needs and preferences. One will need to consider equipment, installation cost, and monthly monitoring charges. Some home security companies will give a user a free system, which could normally costs around $230, but the customer must sign up for a monthly monitoring plan. For a plan, a customer might pay $15, but this could go up to $200, as it depends on what the customer chooses. Some security systems can be installed by the user, and some will need to be installed by a professional that could cost up to $200.
A very popular advancement in modern home security systems is wireless technology. Wireless alarm systems are extremely quick and easy to install here in Woolford, MD, as they don't require you to drill holes into your wall surfaces or route a bunch of messy wires all throughout your home. Each of the system's elements is wirelessly linked to a user interface, where you can adjust and monitor them easily. Completely wireless systems operate entirely by means of cellular frequencies. Wireless security systems are a perfect foil for burglars, since they don't have any telephone lines or cables that can be cut like wired systems.
You can ask the security system company to modify your system to suit your specific needs. As the customer, you are at liberty to choose between interior cameras or exterior cameras. Moreover, you can choose more sophisticated types that have night vision and motion-activated features. These cameras will enable you to monitor any situation. You can also link your home security system to your tablet, computer, or smartphone to review previously recorded video clips from your cameras. Additionally, you can easily review the day's important event by the use of monitor-activated cameras. Security cameras will enable you to monitor your pets, watch out for deliveries made, and know what is going on in your house when you are not around.
What used to be the stuff of science fiction is now part of everyday life. Now you can lock your doors, turn off the stove, or control the thermostat from anywhere in the world. You can even set up notifications, either via email or text message, to let you know when your loved enter or leave the home and when an uninvited guest is attempting to get into the house. Technology allows you to control certain functions in your home from any device that is connected to the internet, whether you're sitting on your sofa or on a plane to Hawaii.

It seems there's a template for Trump versus the Hurricanes: he won't do enough, it isn't being done fast enough, everything will collapse (ready Katrina headlines) and then the draining, heroic reality of the response takes hold. With more stormy weather ahead for this administration, it's time for a better understanding of how disaster management works.
A disaster destroys in hours infrastructure that took decades to build. Millions of people plunge from first world to third world status in real time. The things that separate a Texas suburb from a Nairobi slum – clean water, sewers, power, hospitals, roads – disappear.
Meanwhile, the media tends to focus on drama and controversy. They often overplay the story via anecdotal reporting ("Here's Mrs. Hernandez without electricity, she says [pause] with no help in sight") and underplay the work being done, especially at the beginning of the response where progress is hard to see. First responders on laptops methodically solving supply problems are not very mediagenic, after all.
At the moment of disaster, the Big Bang, needs are at 100% while the response is at a zero point. The response starts in deficit. It always looks grim, especially to participants and outside observers unfamiliar with the process that is starting. They want what is a marathon to play out like a sprint.
In dealing with a major disaster, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the military follow a standard playbook. I know, I worked with both on and off for two decades while with the State Department. I trained with them, and was on-the-ground during the Kobe, Japan earthquake (6,000 dead) and Asian Tsunami (280,000 dead.) I worked the Washington DC-end of many other disasters. I read after-action reporting from 20-30 other such events. That's a (much) younger me pictured above in the headgear you have to wear on military helicopters.
The critical initial step is a needs assessment, from which everything else flows. Responders need time to visit sites, confer with local officials, and determine what is needed and where the needs are greatest. It is a slow process in a chaotic environment, delayed by weather, roads, and communications. From the outside it can look like nothing is being done; Mrs. Hernandez still doesn't have electricity even as helicopters are flying around, apparently ignoring her!
The needs assessment gets the right help to the right places in order of priority. As an example, I was part of a liaison team with the American Navy at Phuket, Thailand following the Asian Tsunami. Without any local input, the first helicopters brought in huge fresh water bladders. It turned out most of the water was unneeded; the city had warehouses full of the bottled version. The Americans weren't helping!
It took a day for us to track down, but the most urgent need the Navy could address was a buildup of medical waste at local hospitals. Waste pre-disaster was trucked out daily; the tsunami wrecked the roads, and so boxes of soiled bandages and infected sharps accumulated. When American resources turned to help dispose of that, hospitals were able to run at peak, and lives were saved. The water bladders lay abandoned in parking lots around town.
Other decisions that can flow from a needs assessment might include restoring power to one school to shelter fifty families before fixing fifty individual homes. It can mean blocking people from calling internationally so limited cell capacity can be directed to local 911 calls. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, for example, set as a priority reopening dialysis centers across Puerto Rico. Somebody else didn't get helped first to make that possible.
At the early-to-intermediate stages of a disaster response people in less affected areas will wait in long lines for supplies. It looks bad on TV, but can actually mean the system is working, as help was directed to a higher priority. It takes good reporting to know if that's the case. Instead, "success" is often too quickly defined as "make everything back to the way it was before the storm."
The military plays a key role in disaster response. The problem is Americans are conditioned to believe there are unlimited resources of all types, instantly movable to where they are needed.
Military units tend to have war fighting as their primary job, and most are somewhere doing that, or training to do that. Shifting to a disaster mission can happen quickly but not instantly. Lots of people showing up with can-do attitude is vitally important. But just as important is gathering the right skills – electrical engineers, teams that desalinate sea water for drinking, and sewage crews (3.4 million people's waste festering with fecal-borne disease is a dreaded secondary killer in this disaster.) The process can always be started sooner than it was, but it can't be done effectively until needs are known.
Much mockery has been directed at Trump's statement about Puerto Rico being an island, surrounded by "big water." His phrasing was callous, but the fact Puerto Rico is an island is significant. Unlike Texas or Florida, no one can self-evacuate, by car or even on foot. Same for incoming aid. Everything must travel by plane, or, more likely, ship.
Planes and helicopters can do great things, but they lean toward small scale. Puerto Ricans now need some two million gallons of fresh water a day. A gallon weighs about eight pounds, so that's 16 million pounds of water. A C-130 cargo plane can carry some 42,000 pounds. So that's 380 flights a day, every day, just for water. There are bigger aircraft, but the bottom line is always the same: you simply have to move the epic quantities required to respond to an epic island disaster by ship to a port, then inland by truck.
That last step, moving supplies from a port (or airport) to those who need them is known as the "last mile" problem. It haunts every disaster response.
Success with the last mile depends on local infrastructure. If it was neglected before the disaster, it will never be better (and often worse) than that during the disaster response. Next comes the need for trucks, fuel for those trucks, drivers, security, and personnel and equipment to offload the ships and pack the trucks. If you're missing one link in the chain the aid does not move.
From the outside it's easy to see these as excuses for why more hasn't been done for desperate people. They are instead practical realities men and women are wrestling with right now on the ground. It can be a complex, methodical process, addressing a single problem (get water to that village) as a cascading string of nested problems. While the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's remark that Puerto Rico relief is the "most logistically challenging event" the United States has ever faced seems exaggerated, it does underscore the size of the job at hand.
So don't be distracted by the Tweets. While no response is ever fast and robust enough, this is not Katrina. That was the result of a system breaking down, one that has been fixed and is operating in Puerto Rico now. Even as the hard work goes on, people will remain outraged not everyone has everything at once. Lack of drinking water remains a critical issue. And there will be tragedies to report; responses are always imperfect, and Hurricane Maria was a tremendous storm. The loss of life in Puerto Rico is at 16, though will climb as rescuers reach more remote areas. For Harvey, the death toll was at least 70, Irma 72. Katrina saw 1,833 fatalities with over 700 people still missing.
But a tipping point will take place, where adequate services are restored and people will start to see the help they need. Problems will reduce from regions without power to villages without power to an isolated home without power.
None of this is intended to be a Trump apology. I have seen disaster management up close myself, and dirtied my own hands doing it. Standard actions and pacing that are lost in the politics surrounding events in Puerto Rico are there. Everything else right now seems to be just Twitter wars.

"Usage patterns, health, and nutritional status of long-term multiple dietary supplement users: a cross-sectional study," Block G, Jensen CD, et al, Nutr J, 2007; 6(1): 30. (Address: Gladys Block, PhD, Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health Nutrition, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, 207-B University Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720-7360, USA. E-mail: email@example.com ).
In a cross-sectional study involving 278 long-term users of multiple dietary supplements, 176 users of a multivitamin/mineral supplement, and 602 non-users of supplements, the users of multiple dietary supplements were found to have better biomarkers of health, as compared to subjects in the other 2 groups. At least half of the subjects in the multiple dietary supplements group consumed the following supplements: a multivitamin/mineral, B-complex, vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin E, calcium with vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, flavonoids, lecithin, alfalfa, coenzyme Q10 with resveratrol, glucosamine, and an herbal immune supplement. Most of the women in this group also consumed gamma linolenic acid and a probiotic supplement, while most of the men consumed zinc, garlic, saw palmetto and a soy protein supplement. After adjusting for various potentially confounding factors, results clearly showed more favorable health outcomes in the subjects taking multiple dietary supplements. Improvements included lower concentrations of serum homocysteine (while non-users had a 45% risk of elevated homocysteine, and single supplement users had a 37% risk, multi-supplement users had only an 11% risk), C-reactive protein, and triglycerides, and higher levels of HDL cholesterol. In addition, subjects in the multi-supplement group were found to have lower risks of elevated blood pressure, diabetes (73% less risk of diabetes compared to non-users), and coronary heart disease (52% less risk). Furthermore, subjects taking multiple
dietary supplements reported having "good or excellent" health status 74% more often than non-supplement users. Suboptimal levels of certain micronutrients including vitamin C were found among the non-users and the single multivitamin/mineral supplement users. These results suggest that the use of multiple nutritional supplements such as those used by the subjects in this study, may confer various benefits to health. The authors conclude, "These findings should be confirmed by studying the dietary supplement usage patterns, health, and nutritional status of other groups of heavy users of dietary supplements."

Your Sommelier's Best Champagne Wine Guide
The Romans were the first to identify the most suitable hills for winegrowing in the region and plant grape varieties, which were resistant to its harsh climate. Then the regional abbeys took over the vineyard estates and developed a very special know-how of blending Champagne wines; the most famous being of course the monk Dom Perignon. The blending of grapes from different parcels and even different years gives very specific wines, typical of the winemaker and well above the sum of the quality of each grape. The birth of the Kingdom of France in Reims then consolidated the reputation of Champagne wines, which were served at French king coronations in Reims until 1825. From the 17th century, Champagne winemakers learned how to master the natural effervescence of wine and started to bottle rather than store it in barrel to better preserve those special bubbles.
The name Champagne is now exclusively reserved for wines produced in a specific area and a specific method known as "Méthode Champenoise" – or "Traditional Method" Champagne is the wine that accompanies special occasions like weddings or simply great family moments.
The Winemakers...
Independent Winemakers
They produce their champagne with their own grapes and under their own name. Usually called Grower Champagne.
Champagne Houses
They are called "Négociant Manipulant". They can have their own vineyards but the also buy grapes from winegrowers to elaborate their wines. All major brands of Champagne are "Houses".
... And Their Wines
Brut (Non Vintage Champagne)
It is a blend of several grape varieties from different years to obtain the typical wine of the winemaker or the House.
Millésimé (Vintage Champagne)
It is the blend of grapes from a specific year, that gives a Champagne a strong character marked by the vintage.
Champagne Rosé is produced by macerating red grapes or as a blend of champagne and red wine from Champagne.
Blanc de Blancs
A blend of Chardonnay grapes from different vintages (except for "Blanc de Blancs Millésimé") and different parcels.
Pinot Noir
Dominant grape of Champagne vineyards (38%), it gives the wines aromas of red fruit and a strong structure. It brings the body and the power to a Champagne blend.
Pinot Meunier
More vigorous variety that supports the most difficult climatic conditions, it gives flexible fruity wines and brings softness to Champagne blends. Champagne made of 100% Pinot Meunier are called "Blanc de Noirs"
This vigorous white grape gives larger grains than Chardonnay. It is widely spread on soils that are not suitable for Pinot and Chardonnay, while remaining excellent vineyard soil. The dry white wine it produces is called Bourgogne Aligoté and it can also enter into blends to make Crémant de Bourgogne.
Key Figures
Surface: 33,580 ha
Winemakers: 5,000
Production: 268m bottles

Happy Endings star Casey Wilson is engaged to the show's creator David Caspe.
The 32-year-old actress confirmed that she is planning to marry the TV writer after he proposed over Memorial Day Weekend back in May.
"I got engaged over Memorial Day Weekend to my boyfriend of two years and I'm thrilled. He proposed with a beautiful family ring the first night we spent in our new house," Wilson told Us Weekly.
"I was, of course, crying slash wailing and then my dad and brother and his family came up the driveway and then everybody was cry/wailing. It was very special. A perfect night."
Happy Endings was cancelled by ABC earlier this year. The series was a critical success but failed to pull in big ratings.
Efforts by producer Sony Pictures to get the show picked up by another network such as NBC, TBS or USA Network didn't work out.
Wilson played unlucky in love Penny Hartz in Happy Endings, which also starred Elisha Cuthbert, Zachary Knighton, Eliza Coupe, Adam Pally and Damon Wayans Jr.

|Anna Louise Wylie, Assistant Digital Engineer
at Laing O'Rourke
I am Anna Louise Wylie, and I am currently working as an Assistant Digital Engineer at Laing O'Rourke.
This role is part of Pricing and Digital Engineering, and I work within the post-win team (mainly covering projects where a contract has been awarded, rather than bids).
The team consists of around 15 people across the UK who provide BIM support, training and on site facilitation.
I am also on the Graduate Development scheme at Laing O'Rourke, part of a 50 strong cohort. We are working towards training and development goals, and towards our respective professional qualifications.
My journey
I completed a Masters in Environmental Engineering at Southampton University. This is where I first heard of Laing O'Rourke, and subsequently applied to their undergraduate programme. After passing my assessment, I completed two summers of work with the company during my studies, and learnt as much in those eight weeks as I did in a year at University.
I had always been interested in BIM, and attend whatever lectures and events I could to learn more. I included it as an aspiration in my application to be a site engineer with Laing O'Rourke, and was very surprised when my contact came through with the title 'assistant digital engineer'. They had also picked up on my interest in sustainability, STEM and leadership, as well as industry experience. Following a quick conversation with the team leader, I was relocated to Manchester and began in September as one of the first direct entries to the team.
A day in the life
The role of Digital Engineers within Laing O'Rourke is varied, and depends on the projects they are involved in. Typically, about half the time is spent in the office, working to manage models, information and collaborative platforms. We also conduct in-house training with relevant disciplines. While on site we give hands on advice on how to improve works through the uptake and application of BIM, answering questions and helping solve issues, as well as assisting with hardware and software management.
As a woman within this company you are well respected, and given the chance to prove yourself just the same as any other employee. Construction can be a tough; however, it is highly rewarding and certainly moving in the right direction in terms of what it offers to women.
What about the Future Female Engineers event?
The opportunities like the Future Female Engineers event are fantastic, as they provide a network of contacts, role models and lessons learnt. It isn't easy to find support or experience of engineering, but these events can provide opportunities for discussion, learning and guidance. There are great opportunities within the industry for women to progress and these events ensure anyone who is considering a career in engineering has the best understanding to pursue it.
If you are feeling inspired, why not take a look at our Future Female Engineers event TARGETjobsevents.co.uk/future-female-engineers or the Undergraduate of the Year Award undergraduateoftheyear.com

Gay Essential Mini Series To Watch, The Line Of Beauty
Invited to stay in his best friend's home, Nick Guest (Dan Stevens), a newly-graduate Oxford student, comes into contact with the politically active Fedden family. Having been requested to look after the bipolar daughter Cat (Hayley Atwell) while the family is out on holiday in France, Nick becomes friends with the young girl in his effort to win the heart of a lower class elegant man known as Leo Charles (Don Gilet).
As the light-hearted bond between the two grows stronger, Nick's brief lodge turns into a permanent stay and his influence and contribution to the Fedden family become indispensable. Deeply enmeshed in the family's political and social affairs, the young man is introduced to the son of a wealthy Lebanese businessman, Wani Ouradi (Alex Wyndham), with whom he engages in a love affair. As the brutal AIDS epidemics emerges in London and diminishes the population, Nick is forced into a whirlwind of challenging events that threaten to demolish the life and status he has built for himself.
The three-part series is an ingeniously-woven adaptation of Hollinghurst's novel that skillfully captures the bigotry, hedonism and self-indulgence of the Thatcher years. With political overtones and a realistic portrayal of the 1980s drug scene, The Line of Beauty tells a compelling story about sexuality, gluttony and secret affairs.
"Andrew Davies' screenplay omits some of the book's nuances but also gives Hollinghurst's narrative a firmer shape by virtue of sheer compression."
— Dennis Harvey, Variety
"The Line of Beauty isn't quite Merchant Ivory, but it is a handsome production with an outstanding cast."
— QueerCinema.com
"Dibb's artful three-ring morality play is a magnificent—if depressing in its believability—accomplishment."
Did You Know?
The Line of Beauty is the screen debut for actors Dan Stevens and Alex Wyndham, who star as Nick and Wani. The sex scenes involving Nick, Leo and Wani were actually only alluded to in Allan Hollinghurst's novel and were written in by director Saul Dibb in order to fully convey the nature of the characters' sexual and emotional relationships.

What You Need to Know About Purchasing Recreational Marijuana in Colorado On New Year's Day
Here in the mile high city, there a perceptible buzz in the air (pun always intended), because recreational marijuana goes on sale January 1st and with the clock counting down, it seems all eyes are on Colorado.
While the country is awash in rumors about the upcoming changes, I have sifted through the state legislation, news segments and stoner blogs to give you a realistic view of what "going recreational" will really mean.
Will Recreational Weed Be More Expensive?
Currently, the only way to legally purchase marijuana is with a medical registry card. Costs include a doctor's visit and consultation, application fee and certified mailing cost. Doctor's visits average about $75 depending on the doctor and location. Currently the application fee is $35. (The fee was lowered from $110 on June 1, 2007, and was again lowered from $90 on January 1, 2012.) The first hearing for an additional reduction in fee cost will take place on December 17th, 2013. Certified mailing typically ranges from $3-$6.
This means medical marijuana cards total just over $100 before any marijuana purchases are made and cards need to be renewed annually.
While many current patients are excited about the prospect of avoiding the doctor, we now know there will be a hefty tax associated with recreational marijuana. Colorado passed Proposition AA on November 5th of this year, creating a 15 percent excise tax on the wholesale price and an initial 10 percent sales tax on the retail price. Some cities have added a local tax; Boulder for example is imposing a 5 percent excise tax and a 3.5 percent sales tax on top of the newly created recreational tax. Medical marijuana, by comparison, is only subject to state and local tax. Denver is currently 7.62 percent.
To put it another way – for an eighth of marijuana, selling in Denver at $30 recreational, the tax rate will be nearly 29 percent, or $8.59. If you purchase an eighth a month at $30 you will spend on average $103 annually in recreational tax, virtually the same cost as a registry card application or renewal.
Can Marijuana Be Purchased on New Year's Day?
As New Year looms nearer, many are concerned about the availability of recreational marijuana. At current standing, only 12 stores in Colorado will be open to the public on January 1st, 2014.
For those planning to purchase on New Year's Day, this means standing in line potentially for hours in record cold temperatures and an almost certain shortage of products—made no easier by the influx of tourists and dispensary tours on charter buses; recreational customers should expect longer lines and shortages for at least the next year.
While the ups and downs are apparent, whether or not to go recreational is a decision each consumer should make on their own. Additionally, we should remember that this is a time for celebration, a true mark that cannabis prohibition is coming to an end. The entire country is watching as Colorado takes the first steps in a completely unique time in our history – it is a time to be safe, respectful and joyous.
Tell us below, will you head to Colorado to celebrate the new year?

is it legel in Colorado state & fed.?
Thanks ~
Actually the black market has pretty much been killed of due to the cheaper prices at the dispensaries. Even with the added tax, it is still cheaper to buy it from a large dispensary then your small local Mom and Pop operation. Most little guys have been put out of business as it is no longer profitable to grow on a small scale. They can compete with the quality, consistancy and cheap prices that larger, legal and regulated operations produce.
Can not compete, sorry for the typo
Can u tell me how much u can buy at one time. And do u have to have a Colado. Id.
See Micheal, you are one of the problems for states and people trying to get cannabis legal. You're not a resident and you're trying to purchase large quantities which leads to the assumption you're trying to sell it afterward. It's safe to say you don't need it medically and you're just trying to make money. Stop being part of the plague that's diminishing our efforts for the future.
the fee is going down to $15 so if you have a qualifying condition and smoke as much as most people I know you're better off getting a red card. its legal for all people of age but if you have friends with a card there's nothing to prohibit them going to the dispensary for you. most people will probably start growing if they can. once industrial hemp production starts the prices may go up too because of extra precautions at grow ops to prevent cross pollination. the cannabis businesses have a lot of operating costs too which affect prices. there are already some dispensaries that have problems keeping stock on the shelves.
Small little fact, dispensaries must grow 80% of the product they sell and can get 20% from other sources. This is where all the dispensaries are going to get in trouble. There is not enough sq footage of grow going on here. Watch how day Colorado dries up.
Colorado will be out of weed by June.
I've been off for a year now because of my state laws. Due to my physical pain & mental issues ill be making a move up there 2014. End Cannabis Prohibition. Strong supporter. Lets take America back one bowl at a time!
So to those of you who live in Colorado, in regards to the dispensaries, do they have all the different kinds sorted out with all the details about their strains just like in a medical dispensary?
Dispensaries are excited to educate rec folks with all the information they provide patients. There will be plenty of magazines out for you to pick up and educate yourself on what's to learn! If you have any questions about strain specifics the bud tenders will be able to provide you with the info. There is also a ton of sites that have every strain available to find out their genetics lineage, effects, and potency. Very helpful to accommodate you in your search
I'm sure they will. One place has told me their recreational side is going to consist entirely of vending machines that take an ID swipe. I'm sure they'll be independently sorted; testing will eventually need to be done on each product for sale, and each strain has different stats. Gotta keep em labeled.
More than likely, no. But we here in Co are just as much wondering how this will all play out
I see they're making sure to keep the black market alive by taxing it so much.
if u read the text then u will see that its about the same as medical which is WAY cheaper then the black market (if u are referring to Mexican cartel still throwing 8th for $50) which u will pay out the ass and get shitty weed.
I live here already. This is the official stoner's black friday of a lifetime! I would love to be first in line up at Annie's but there is no way it's gonna happen. Not only can I not afford it but I'm not going to go stand in line for 3 days only to have them run out by the time I get in the door! I can sure wish though!
I wish I could head out there but unfortunately I have no car but all I ask is that every stoner in colorado smoke out for me ! End the cannabis prohibition !!!!!!! Long live 420
I was planning on it since I'm here in las Vegas the drive isn't too bad but I'll wait till the hype goes down a bit. Maybe mid may because I'm sure April 20th will be just as packed as new years. Either way I'll make the drive and enjoy a couple j's with the fellow pot smokers community.
Is recreational marijuana going to be available istatr wide or just in denver?
It will be available in districts that allow it, like the Springs votes against it… Google for a complete list of cities that backed up the amendment
Many localities have banned recreational sales, but many places have embraced it. One can possess up to 1 oz state wide, but the purchasing will be primarily in Denver on Jan 1st. There are a couple other places that will have their approvals in time, but the state is incredibly backlogged on inspecting the premises of applicants, so it might take a while before all the places that want to open are given the right go-aheads by the powers that be.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Play time isn't just for kindergarteners any more. It is a must for any teacher integrating tech in the classroom.
One of the biggest errors I've made as a tech-savvy teacher was not allowing students sufficient time to "play" with technology. Students need time to make mistakes and take responsible risks in order to become proficient at something, especially technology.
During my first year teaching, I planned an assignment using Microsoft Publisher and wanted everything to be just right. I had a great presentation for my science classes on how to create a flyer using Microsoft Publisher and for the most part I thought students were "getting it'. After all, when I finished showing them step by step, click by click, what they had to do I asked, "Does anyone have any questions before you log onto your computer and begin creating your flyer with Publisher?" No one raised a hand. I turned off the projector and instructed them to begin. Mission accomplished. I taught them how to use Publisher and create a flyer. That's what I thought.
After a stroll around the classroom, it didn't take long for me to realize that my students had no idea how to begin using Publisher, let alone create something with it.
I was angry and frustrated. How could this be? Surely it was their fault for not being attentive during my presentation. Wrong. It was my fault. What I neglected to do was something that teachers overlook all the time. After introducing the new piece of technology I didn't give my students enough time to "play" with it.
Since that experience I have made some changes. Now, every time I introduce a new type of technology to students I start by showing them just the basic keys, this usually takes no longer than 10 minutes. Allow them the rest of the period to practice using the technology.
Don't assign the actual assignment yet. Instead, give them an alternate one that requires them to focus on the technology rather than content. For example, if your assignment asks them to create a PowerPoint presentation about animal and plant cells you could first have them create a quick PowerPoint about their family pet or favorite sport. It should not be an assessed assignment. Encourage them to make mistakes and responsible risks. Remind them throughout the period that they should master the basic keys and then build off of those keys by trying others. In doing so they will learn much more than you would be able to teach them. They are learning by doing.
Encourage them to have a mistake-filled day. The quality of work that they complete and the confidence they develop will again remind you why you wanted to become a teacher.
How do you ensure success when using tech in the classroom? Share in the comments section!

Scripture: Lectionary 332: Genesis 2:18-25. Psalm 106:3-4.35-36.37.40. Mark
Scripture scholars are sometimes asked whether Jesus smiled? Did he joke?
Was he emotional like we are sometimes? There is a word for laughing and
another for smiling but they are not found in the canonical gospels,
however, in one or the other of the apocryphal gospels (those mostly
dependent on the canonical ones but culturally and theologically different)
he does laugh to the chagrin of his slow to understand disciples. But we
can infer from the parables that he tells and from the incident in today's
reading that Jesus had a great sense of humor and thus had to smile and
laugh. After all, one of Thomas Aquinas' insights into what it takes to be
human he said one has to be a risible sentient being, that is, one who can
laugh! Sometimes it seems that Jesus had to shake up the concepts of
holiness and righteousness that others inflicted upon him, including his
own band of twelve apostles/disciples.
One of the musicals picked this quality of Jesus as a feature of his
attractiveness and had the parables presented by the one acting for Jesus
making them very funny for those listening to Jesus. This happens in the
parables presented in the musical Godspell.
There is however a way of understanding the texts of the Gospels and
especially that of Mark that helps us to see the total commitment Jesus has
and possesses in his humanity. This includes his breakout emotions as well
as his ability to enjoy a funny quip from someone and do something with it
because he was intellectually and emotionally moved to heal. The woman in
the Gospel is called not by her personal name but as the Syro-Phoenician
woman indicating she was not one of the elect people of God as was Jesus
and his twelve disciples. Yet, she by carefully listening to and following
Jesus does not miss the chance of pulling one over on him with her
perceptive remark, "Ah, yes, Sir, but little dogs under the table eat the
scraps from the children." Jesus has to reply for "Saying this you may go
home happy; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
Jesus as a Jewish teenager certainly read or heard the Book of Proverbs
which contains some of the funniest lines in the Bible peppered with sharp
and insightful wisdom behind them. One can find the description of a person
who has taken too much wine perfectly described in his behavior, his bravdo
words, and his imagination. The selection is priceless and Jesus would
have laughed at it. Another one of the Proverbs speaks about the
comparison of a lazy person rolling over in bed from time to time sounding
like a rusty hinge on a door!
Mark has also shown us some strong descriptions of Jesus' emotions in the
way he feels about the people who are like sheep without a shepherd. The
word used here means to feel it deep in one's bowels such is the compassion
of Jesus for those who are wandering and straying without a shepherd. He
then teaches them. At other times the same feelings are there when he
senses they are without food. Mark also displays Jesus anger when he
curses the fig tree. He shows Jesus is frustrated by the many piercing and
sacrcastic questions he asks his disciples who do not understand the
miracles of the multiplication of the loaves and fish. Jesus is trying to
make them think.
We should not be shocked by these incidents that show us Jesus' behavior
was so much like ours. Some of us would rather have just the Son of God
image of Jesus, but others would be content intellectually with just the
Son of Man (child of humanity) image of Him. We however believe that Jesus
was both human thoroughly in all things except sin, and divine in union
with God through the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Chris Guthrie – How I Make Money With Amazon
How I Run My Internet Business By Chris Guthrie
I started my online business way back in 2005 and migrated to an LLC in 2007 once I started making more money. I made the move to full time self employment in 2009 and last year I more than surpassed my goal to earn $150,000 in 2010. I also sold one of my larger websites in a deal worth six figures last year too so overall it was a pretty great first full year of self employment (I got fired in late 2009 lol).
Useful info box, one word answers are fine:
Book Your Currently Reading? Purple Cow
Best Business Purchase? $200 for NetbookReviews.com
Favourite Business Resource? My three 26 inch monitors
Favourite Business Website? BothSidesOfTheTable.com
1. What gave you the idea for your business and what motivated you to apply yourself and get it done.
I've been running a wide range of websites ever since I created my first forum for gamers back in 2005. I knew money was being made on the internet and I was determined to make sure I started making money too. I only wish I had met more people that were making money online earlier as I would have been able to make a lot more money faster if I did. My biggest motivation is a desire to build my own business and blaze my own path. I hate working for someone else because I'm just making them more money. When I work for myself I am building my own assets.
2. Comparing your business from back then to now, what has been the main thing that allowed you to expand your business?
The biggest thing for me was the decision to invest more time into my business. For a few years I was running websites for fun but only passively trying to make money with them. A few years after that I decided that if I really wanted to make money with websites I needed to have a clear monetization path before I invested time and resources into a website. Ask yourself this question before you start something "How will this (eventually) make money?" I simply ask myself this question before I do anything now and it helps me avoid wasting time on projects that won't pay off.
3. Whats the most profitable aspect of your online business, why do you think this is and how can others apply this to what they are doing.
I started doing really well with Amazon's affiliate program back in early 2009. I shared some tips on what I've learned after making $90k+ with Amazon here. The biggest suggestion if you're looking to make money with Amazon is to use it on websites with a very specific product oriented focus. For example, with the Netbook Reviews website I sold in a deal worth six figures I aimed to create the best possible netbook website and so I did things my competitors weren't such as actually reviewing the product with videos etc. etc. You can apply this focus to any niche, just know that if you want that #1 Google ranking your site needs to be better than the site currently ranking that spot (in terms of the quality of links, quality of your domain name, quality of your content etc.)
4. How Do You Work?
I wake up around 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM but that just varies based on when I went to bed. I prefer to work regular business owners, but lately I've been working a lot more because I have so many projects that have simply gone on for far too long. For example, when I was working on releasing my Amazon wordpress plugin: EasyAzon I had a few days of the week that I stayed up to 5:00 AM finishing up the members area, creating how to videos, talking to affiliates etc. etc. Right now I have one full time employee in the Philippines and she helps me build websites. I haven't felt comfortable enough yet to outsource my customer support as some of my products were based on my expert knowledge and I just can't let go of answering all of my customer's support inquiries. Sometime soon I know I need to outsource the more basic stuff such as "this video doesn't load" and "can you fix my email address in the members area?" etc.
5. When did you realize you were successful/made it? and how did you feel/celebrate?
I felt like I made it when I hit my one year fireversary (celebrating my first full year of self employment) and soon after that I really knew things would be ok when I received the first bank wire payment for my website in the deal worth six figures. Seeing that much money in my bank account felt awesome and I splurged on my $500 Herman Miller SAYL chair (ridiculous I know but since I sit all day why not?). I later paid off a $26k lump sum from my wife's student loans (although that's a decision I now regret).
6. Looking back, what could you of done sooner to of got to that point quicker.
If I would have stopped putzing around building websites that had no business model (i.e. video game forums) I'd probably be making double or triple what I am today. But I still like to say that I owe the start of my business and it's eventual success to the video game Halo. So I do know there are things I could have done to be successful faster but I wouldn't change anything.
7. What should other Internet entrepreneurs reading this be focusing on to expand their own Internet business.
I'm a huge fan of monetization. A lot of what I'm doing this year is simply buying websites from people and finding ways to better monetize them right off the bat. The easiest way to make more money is to make sure you're fully taking of your existing traffic before you go out and try and get more traffic.
8. What do you consider the main differences between those people who have been successful in your industry and those who have failed?
Most of the people I talk to fail before they even start. There's only so much time you can spend learning before you have to take action. If you are reading this interview and haven't actually done something (i.e. registered a domain name and set up your first website etc.) then you should stop reading this right now. Figure out what you're interested in, do a quick search to see who the existing competition is and then make a decision to move forward with building your first website. If you aren't an action taker you will never be successful with an online business.

Chris has also just released a really cool new WordPress Plugin for Amazon Affiliates, click here to check it out!
Cool, interesting. i think that article is funny. he got fired, and made big bucks on amazon. i heard you make a little commission on amazon as a affiliate.
Great Interview!
I think one of the issues everyone in the online business world faces is getting started and seeing things to the end.
There are millions of blogs out there that once started as a dream but never got to see the end of the tunnel. This are now buried in a cemetery of the what if and what could have been memories.
Perseverance can create miracles, just give it enough time and effort and it will eventually get there.
Evelio P.
Thanks for posting the interview Michael.
@Francisco – Yes, looking back now getting fired was the best thing that could have ever happened to me lol.
Thank you so much Michael for the awesome interview. It's very inspiring as always.
Inspirational Chris. Thanks for posting the interview Michael.
That was very inspirational Michael. Thank you Chris for such an amazing insight.
Interesting and insprirational. Great interview.
Chris is inspiring, no wonder why i interviewed him. He knows how amazon affiliate marketing works!
Thanks for sharing. Awesome interview.
Great interview Michael, Amazon seems to be a great income source if you know how to use it. Congratulations Chris!
Nice Story, Really its a great inspiration for the newbie wants to live a life in an internet lifestyle.
wow michael thanks from interview this guy, so inspiring me.
thanks chris for give some clue and adivice for us
its really inspiring me…
with internet, there is nothing impossible..we just need to explore it..
nice interview dude..
90K with Amazon! That is a lot of products seeing as they only give you a 10% cut.
Actually it's more like 4-8% cut I believe. According to his podcast, he sold over 1,000,000 worth of products for them to make that much.
Very Inspirational. Buying websites and expanding shows that he is building his empire.
Great questions as always Michael, and thanks for sharing your story Chris. It is motivating for myself as I am *almost at that point but not quite. Definitely took a lot away from this interview.
Congratulations on your continued success Mr Guthrie.
Very inspirational Interview, Thanks Michael
Good for him! Unfortunately Amazon pulled out of our state (Connecticut) after new rules were enacted making it impossible to do business here as of the beginning of the month. (thanks, Governor !) Of course all the small businesses are the ones that get screwed (as usual) but you can't blame Amazon. This state is almost anti-business now. They definitely don't have our interests in mind when they are grabbing for every bloody cent they can get their hands on. I will have to leave the state to resume being an Amazon affiliate. I am anxiously looking forward to the day I get out of this tax-you-to-death state! 🙁
It is really great to know that the internet work is playing an important role with the problem of high unemployment rate. I wonder how many are enjoying the privileges in the world of internet.
Wow, I didn't know that there are so much to making money with Amazon. Thanks for letting me read this informative article!
You will be surprised how much you can actually make on the internet. After owning Brick and Mortar companies for over 15 years, I've finally stepped into the online sales, and boy, was I on the wrong track before. This is where the money is guys, I'm actually thinking about writing a book on how to make money online… $90k is chump change on the Amazon.

Blurb from back cover:
Whether it's petty defacing or full-scale cyber robbery, hackers are moving to the Web along with everyone else. Organizations using Web-based business applications are increasingly at risk. Web Hacking: Attacks and Defense is a powerful guide to the latest information on Web attacks and defense.
Security experts Stuart McClure (lead author of Hacking Exposed), Saumil Shah, and Shreeraj Shah present a broad range of Web attacks and defense.
Although I am not an expert in Network Issues, I am familiar enough to understand the lingo used by administrators, along with the basic concepts of securing a web platform. I therefore tenderly gazed at the pages of this book, expecting turmoil and mental-torture to assault my "advanced-novice" state-of-mind.
I was quickly and pleasantly surprised to discover how interesting the book actually was. It proved to be an excellent introductory level book to the world of web hacking. This book shows the common exploits used in hacking into various websites written in numerous scripts and languages.
Review Comments
This book is divided into four major sections: The E-Commerce? Playground, URLs Unraveled, How Do They Do It?, and Advanced Web Kung Fu. The first part of the book (The E-Commerce? Playground) starts out showing a simple case study demonstrating an effective attack on a fictitious small business website using only HTTP. The attacker discovered two vulnerabilities in a Perl Script on the site which he exploited. This was shown in the book as a step by step process with explanations. I found it an enjoyable read.
Throughout the book, the authors warn you repeatedly not to depend on firewalls as your single layer of protection. As has been preached on Security-forums Dot Com repeatedly, your security should be layered. Here too, the authors stand on the same soapbox.
An abundant use of code, including explanations of the weaknesses inherent in the code are used to illustrate the current discussion at hand. I've noticed as well that the authors provide many URLs to facilitate in-depth study of the topic. Often included are precautionary measures, and software tools available to assist in hardening your website.
I did enjoy their presentations on how Web Servers and Databases are exploited. I feel this book is a strong introduction to the art, and science of attacking web platforms. I finished the book having a better understanding of buffer overflows, and Java's Remote Command Execution. This alone makes the book worth reading although the price does feel a bit steep to me. After all this is something I can no doubt discover on Usenet Newsgroups; given the time and patience. (Please notice the use of the words
in the last sentence).
Overall, the book is written for an audience of novice administrators, and web developers. Odds are high that experienced professionals are unlikely to find anything new here.
Style and Detail
I must state that this book lacks in format and organization. Overall, it tends to present the topic of web hacking in an incredibly haphazard manner. The chapters seem to bounce back and forth, and frequently sideways from topic to topic. Although worth reading, the book does lack a smooth flow in the subject matter.
The over-abundance of screen shots, sidebars, and illustrations are wonderful for the novice studying this topic. However, I strongly feel that the expert will quickly get annoyed not only over the amount of them, but also the placement of them as well. I myself began to tire of flipping two or three pages ahead of my current place in the text to view a screen shot. And it happens constantly throughout the book. It's almost as if these items were quickly tossed into the book after it was written in an attempt to bloat the page count.
The quality of Figures, Tables, and Code were excellent throughout the book. However, again; they suffered the same problem (except the code) as the sidebars did above. It was a double-whammy. You would be engrossed in the text, then suddenly required to skip ahead a few pages to check out the figure or screen shot. The second whammy hit you when you came to the point in text a few pages ahead, and you were distracted by the figure or screen shot which you'd already consumed.
Due to the very nature of this book being an excellent instructional guide on this topic, it has earned a respectable SFDC rating of
. It is an excellent starting point for educating oneself in securing a network, although the exploits and examples in the book are now outdated. However, as
, an Administrator of
points out, "
the case histories are never out of date as long as they show the proper methodology. By that I mean, they show a detailed approach as to how the author solved those very same problems. That is what is key in most of these books I find. To come away with a proper sequence of events which one should follow. Call it your analytical tree. You always follow the same steps for that way you rarely ever miss anything.
". I feel the value of this book is in the education and not the reference.
A novice would do well to grab this book. An expert would find it worth his time to borrow the book from the novice and slowly thumb through it.

The Portuguese Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 2.3% in volume in the second quarter 2018, compared with the same period of 2017 (2.1% in the previous quarter). Domestic demand registered a more intense positive contribution to GDP year-on-year change rate, due to the acceleration of private consumption, while Investment presented a less intense growth driven to a large extent by the decrease of Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Transport Equipment, reflecting the positive base effect recorded in the second quarter 2017. Net external demand presented a negative contribution similar to that observed in the previous quarter.
In comparison with the first quarter of 2018, GDP increased 0.5% in real terms (0.4% in the previous quarter). The contribution of net external demand to the GDP quarter-on-quarter change rate was slightly less negative, as a result of the sharper acceleration of Exports of Goods and Services than in Imports of Goods and Services. In turn, the positive domestic demand contribution remained unchanged in the second quarter.

Transporting Carbon Dioxide
After carbon dioxide (CO2) is captured, the next step is transporting it to a storage site. The current method of transporting CO2 is through a pipeline. Pipelines have been in use for decades, and large volumes of gases, oil and water flow through pipelines every day. Carbon dioxide pipelines are an existing part of the U.S. infrastructure -- in fact, there are more than 1,500 miles (2,414 km) of CO2 pipelines in the U.S. today, mostly for enhancing oil production [source: IPCC]. You can put a pipeline just about anywhere -- underground or underwater -- with depths ranging from a few feet to a mile.
A CO2 pipeline usually begins at the source of capture and travels directly to the storage site -- although, in some cases, it might travel as far as it can in the pipe, then transition to a tanker or ship to finish off its journey. It all depends on where the source, pipeline and storage site are located. Both the public and private sector can own pipelines.
Pipelines can transport CO2 in three states: gaseous, liquid and solid. Solid CO2 is commonly known as dry ice, and it's not cost-effective to transport CO2 as a solid. Pipelines commonly transport carbon dioxide in its gaseous state. A compressor "pushes" the gas through the pipeline. Sometimes a pipeline will have intermittent compressors to keep the gas moving. The CO2 must be clean (free of hydrogen sulfide) and dry. Otherwise, it can corrode a typical pipeline, which is made of carbon manganese steel. As of yet, there are no standards in place for "pipeline quality" carbon dioxide, but experts say that pipelines built from stainless steel would have a lowered risk of corrosion. This, however, may not be economical, since we would have to build brand new pipelines just for CO2.
Accidents with pipelines are rare, as we've found in decades of use. Only 12 CO2 pipeline leaks occurred from 1986 to 2006, with no human injuries reported. Contrast that with natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines, which had more than 5,000 accidents and 107 fatalities in the same period [source: Parfomak]. Of course, one reason carbon dioxide pipeline accidents are rare is because we don't really have that many CO2 pipelines in use. Accidents will likely increase as the number of pipelines rises. As CO2 is odorless and colorless, though, adding an odor to the gas could help to detect leaks. Regardless, experts recommend construction of pipelines in low-population areas to minimize any impact.
Pipeline costs fluctuate depending on the route of the pipeline (through heavily congested areas, mountains, offshore). It's also possible to transport carbon dioxide as a liquid, using ships or tanker trucks. Liquid CO2 requires low pressure and a constant low temperature, so cargo tanks need to be both pressurized and refrigerated. You might be wondering what happens if a ship or truck carrying a tank of CO2 gets into an accident. Unfortunately, there isn't much data on the subject, but we do know there is an asphyxiation risk if a massive amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere. As with tanks that transport natural gas and other hazardous materials, good construction is key. That, and good driving.
Continue reading to learn how carbon dioxide can be stored underground or underwater.

Jonathan Reichental, CIO of Palo Alto, Calif., is one of the most popular tweeters in government IT. Here are the keys to his success.
Jonathan Reichental is good at Twitter. StateTech and Huffington Post both recognized the CIO of Palo Alto, Calif., as the top government CIO on the platform for the quality of his tweets and strength of his followers.
Reichental (@Reichental) has 2,873 followers as of this article's publication, which falls well short of pop star Justin Bieber's 47.3 million, but is impressive in the world of government IT. And beyond his sheer number of followers, Reichental excels at attracting influential leaders and entrepreneurs in the technology and government communities, including figures like President Barack Obama.
Building and retaining a Twitter following can be difficult, so how does Reichental do it? He admits to putting a good deal of thought into using Twitter effectively, and he recently shared his recipe for success.
Success on Twitter starts outside of the micro-blogging platform with regular, longer-form writing. "One of the most valuable things you can do for your career, especially in the knowledge worker space, is to write," Reichental said. "And the most common way to do that, and the easiest, is to blog." He says his career opportunities, speaking engagements and number of Twitter followers all grew as the amount and quality of his blogging increased.
Anyone can share what they ate for lunch – people are attracted to Twitter users who have unique and interesting viewpoints on topics they are interested in. To develop one's viewpoints and to have something beyond 140 characters to share with others, some form of expanded writing must take place, Reichental said.
Writing something that is useful and pertinent is difficult and time consuming, he acknowledged, but it works. People have an uncanny ability to separate valuable information from the white noise, and Twitter is overflowing with the latter. Reichental found a direct correlation between new blog posts and gains in followers.
Good content starts with tweeting things that are of interest to you. Don't worry about losing people who don't share your interests, Reichental said, because those people aren't your audience. Instead, he suggested tweeting from the heart, so to speak, and like-minded people will follow, with the caveat that Twitter should not be a stream-of-consciousness experience either. There needs to be a quality filter, he said – so just keep the good stuff.
Reichental tweets about technology and government issues, but also includes personal interests, such as movies and behavioral economics. A "diverse, interesting and sometimes funny" stream of tweets will intrigue people and attract new followers, he said.
"You build a following based on things that are interesting," he said, and while that may sound trite, many Twitter accounts are full of things that no one is interested in, like complaining about freeway traffic or pictures of sandwiches. There's nothing wrong with complaining or tweeting pictures of food as a form of self-expression, especially if you work in transportation or the food industry, but such trivial content is not something that will attract many people, particularly not the kinds of followers that IT professionals want. So, when you tweet, "make it count," Reichental said.
Good form is different from good content. Having good Twitter form means crediting the sources of your information and putting things in context for followers.
Using hashtags and linking to where information comes from gives followers an opportunity to integrate the information they find into their lives beyond just reading the tweet, Reichental explained. For instance, a tweet that reads "There will be 300 million smartphone users in the U.S. by the year 2020" is not nearly as compelling as the same tweet that includes a link to the source of the information. Given these extra handles, followers have more things to hold onto and more opportunities to retweet or repurpose the information. A twitter feed then goes from being one person's musings to what followers begin to see as a trove where they can go to find new and interesting things.
There is such a thing as tweeting too often and alienating followers, but there is a time investment in Twitter that needs to be made in order to have success at it, Reichental said. "Tweeting once every day or once every week isn't going to hack it."
Reichental admits he sometimes skips days on Twitter and isn't as consistent as some others on the service, but it's important to keep a steady flow of content to keep people interested. And although there is a time investment, it's still possible to tweet with a busy schedule, he says. "It doesn't take me a lot of time to do what I do."
Don't just absorb attention on Twitter, give it, too. "Share the love by giving back a little bit," Reichental said.
A graph of Reichental's Twitter account shows steady and consistent growth in followers since he opened his account and began using these five Twitter success tactics.
So who is Reichental's favorite to follow on Twitter? He didn't name a single person, but instead pointed to a group. "I recently got into following astronauts," he said. "I think it's amazing. They're actually on the space station, doing stuff and tweeting about it, and tweeting photographs."
