Prop 215 was supposed to provide the framework for Safe Access to medical marijuana. Access that the people of California voted into law over 13 years ago. The officials of San Diego repeatedly refer to the Attorney General guidelines as a roadmap to Safe Access but argue vigorously to have even their mention kept from a jury. A jury, the final arbiters of whether we are really sick or if we are just degenerate stoners manipulating a law intended to provide solace for terminally ill patients.

Fear, uncertainty, and dread. This is the atmosphere we mmj patients endure in San Diego. The District Attorney disregards our doctor’s recommendations and treats us like criminals. Our Recs, which should provide prosecutorial immunity, are instead used as tools in the assistance of rounding us up.

This is what the DA would have. Strangers without the benefit of even an exam will be determining if your medical condition is valid Not your doctor, not your better judgment of what you want to put into your body. Just the rule of 13 1/2. 12 strangers, 1 judge, and half a chance… This is NOT what Dennis Perone intended.

So what are we going to do? I’ll tell you what I am going to do. I am going to stand up and be counted. Check out the review here to learn more about my initiative. I am going to speak louder when necessary, but mostly I am going to just not be silent. There are various city commissions and panels that you can express your discontent at. Don’t know what to say? We will help write you a script. Maybe you are too busy taking care of your family, your responsibilities or just maybe you’re afraid, you fear exposure. This plea is especially for you. Trust me I understand.

If Bonnie Dumanis and the Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force hadn’t kicked me out of the Cannabis closet in 2004 I may still be hiding under my rock. Seeing what is happening to those that do stand up for their rights, for our rights, it is really easy to just choose to not get involved. The right choices are almost never the easy ones. But maintain your anonymity, protect yourself, your family, your career, your reputation. Find an effective activist, talk to them about your concerns, and find out what you can do without risking exposure. If you like what they are doing then ask them what to do. We have so many ideas, but we need your help to take San Diego off the most hostile to mmj patients list.

Now you should know that the DEA raided a medical marijuana grower in Encinitas a little over a week ago. Well, I responded, I was about 5 miles away, but I was not able to get there in time. Sorry, Tim and Laura. I couldn’t have stopped anything but I am sure that any moral support at that time would have been appreciated.

The only good news from that day was that several people expressed interest in being part of a response system. Many more were concerned and wanted to be kept up to date. Well, right now I am just a guy with a cell phone, a twitter account, and an email list. But that is all changing real soon. I am working with several other concerned activists from all over the county as well as some business interests to improve the existing raid alert systems to include an organized response.

An organized and unified response is critical in letting the DEA know we see what they are doing and we are not happy. Also, the initial details lacked the clarity necessary for a timely response. Why? Because we do not know who to trust!

We have been developing a decentralized system for incident reporting. Message me and I will give you my ideas on how best to keep yourself in operation, thereby preserving my rights as an mmj patient to safe access.

Limi Feu turns to an obvious source of inspiration for her spring 2009 ready to wear collection: the Japanese student look. Long jackets, pants, and white button down shirts dominate this season’s collection. Black, white, nude, blue, shrimp, solids and stripes comprise this ready to wear collection for women. Like her designer father Yohji Yamamoto, she also favors the dark colors in layered designs. Below are my top five picks from her spring 2009 ready to wear collection:

The first ensemble we see in slide has the typical long jacket reaching to the knees with black pants and a white blouse with a narrow strap placed horizontally across the scoop neckline. The jacket has a bit of gray at the shoulder holes and a zipper closure in the front. This doesn’t have to be worn to class, of course, if you are already a college graduate. You can however wear this whenever you feel like going urban with your friends.

You can read more here as the article progresses on even though spring is gone for now but it would show up the next year so it would give you an idea of what all dresses to try out during the season with some interesting pieces to look forward to.

Here is a two-piece dress in slide #9 that has big buttons on the front of the black blouse with 3/4 length sleeves and a straight skirt that reaches past the knees. For a different look, substitute a white or pink shirt with his nice skirt and wear it to the office. The blouse here is very Asian in style and can also be worn with an embroidered satin skirt with dragons on it.

The nude and black dress in slide is simple in lines with a slightly flared out look. A scoop neckline, black shoulder straps, and above knee length skirt makes this dress looks like one meant for a younger schoolgirl. This is something I might wear to a class picnic on the campus, but the dress can be worn to any day or informal evening party this spring season.

A solid black dress like the one in slide #21 is ideal for wearing to a weekend party this spring. Add some color by wearing a long, brightly colored scarf around the waist with the ends hanging loose. The square neckline and angled cut on the blouse’s hem make this dress very urban and avant garde in appearance. Throw on some beads around your neck to finish the look.

The shrimp colored dress that we see at slide #32 is last on the list. If you like the layered look, this dress definitely has it. The dress has that combination of punk-rock look to it which makes it great to wear while spending a day in SoHo. If you don’t have a pair of orange boots to wear with this dress, try black shoes with heels. Wear this dress to a music party this spring season.

Limi Feu fashions can be purchased through her boutique in New York City. The average price range for her fashions is between $150.00 to $500.00.

Neil Young is said to have started his musical career back in the mid-sixties playing in coffee shops in Canada where he was born. Still today, he is a very respected musician. He was inducted into the Music Hall of Fame in 1995 and is acclaimed to be one of the best performers/songwriters in Rock and Roll.

I have been in love with Neil Young’s music for as long as I can remember. I was introduced to Neil Young’s music at a very young age. As I have gotten older my appreciation for his music has only grown. In my opinion here are his top ten best songs ever that you can download from gudang lagu for free.

Hey Hey, My My-

Is said to be one of Young’s most popular songs. This song was released in 1979 album Rust Never Sleeps. Young also recorded an acoustic rendition called My My, Hey Hey. Kurt Cobain is even said to have quoted this song in his suicide note. I prefer the acoustic version but they are both very good and powerful.

The needle and the damage done –

A mellow song that talks about drug use and the damage it can do to a person. This song first appeared on the Harvest album, which came out in 1977. This song was inspired by many musicians and entertainers who were dying around that time due to heroin overdoses.

Old man-

This song has a lot of personal meaning for me. In my teenage days, I had many problems with drinking and all that goes with that. My father, who is bipolar, has many of those problems as well. The darker side of me is a lot like my father. That is why this song holds so much meaning for me. My dad and I are very close and we fight many of the same demons.

Cortez the Killer-

Neil Young’s is said to have written this song in high school. The song retells the story of how Herman Cortes conquered Mexico for Spain in the 1500s. The song is incredibly long, seven and half minutes with first verse starting more than 3 minutes in. The guitar solos are beautiful and the words powerful. This is my favorite Neil Young song.

Cinnamon Girl Cowgirl in the sand –

both of these songs were supposedly written on the same day while Neil Young was sick in bed with a fever of 103. It is also said that he wrote Down by the River this same day. I, of course, have no idea if this is true but it is good storytelling. All three of these songs are similar and each features lengthy guitar solos by the man himself. These songs were released on the album Everybody knows this is nowhere in 1969.

Only love can break your heart- was included on the After the Gold Rush album. This song features a mellow tune and talks about love.

Comes a time – was released in 1978 on the Comes a Time album. A very mellow folk sounding song that was present in my childhood.

Hearing loss can have a significant effect on the quality of life, especially when the hearing loss is sudden and comes without warning. For many hearing loss patients, the loss of hearing comes as a progressive complication commonly associated with age. However, for some patients, the hearing loss may be sudden and the result of a physiological complication or illness.

For women, hearing loss can have a far greater impact on the quality of life when compared to men. It is believed that women commonly experience hearing loss in greater numbers than men. In the days, weeks, and months after hearing loss, the effect of hearing loss for women can be significantly compromised when there right social and psychological services are not in place.

If you are a woman who has suffered either a progressive or sudden hearing loss, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Utilizing the services of an audiologist or sonus complete is always recommended. With the proper audiology care, you may be able to restore hearing, to some extent, with the use of hearing aid devices, medications, or even surgery. In addition, to audiology care, as a woman with hearing loss, it is also important to reach out for social and psychological support services as the adjustment to your hearing loss can be quite difficult to manage.

Using social therapy and psychotherapy, as a hearing-impaired adult, you can learn to accommodate to your hearing loss when managing your social and interpersonal relationships. Because women, more commonly than men, rely upon extensive communication, this improvement in social and interpersonal skills management will be important to your management of hearing loss from a psychological standpoint. In social and psychotherapy, the therapist can guide you through the management of hearing loss when in crowded rooms, noisy settings, or in settings where low levels of sound may be important. Information on home and workplace management will also be important.

A common issue that affects women with hearing loss is the image issues associated with using a hearing aid. Because women traditionally focus on personal appearance, beauty, and fashion trends, the use of a hearing aid may be deemed unfashionable and unsightly. In actuality, hearing aids and hearing devices, today, are far trendier than in years past. In fact, many can be hidden from plain view with the proper guidance and instruction from an audiologist or therapist.

Hearing loss at any age can have an impact on your quality of life. Approaching the hearing loss with optimism is important to your adjustment. With the guidance and support of social and psychological support services, in addition to proper management of your hearing loss by an audiologist, you can experience a far greater and more acceptable outcome.

Salads don’t have to be side dishes, or things you eat before you have the real dinner. With the right combination of ingredients, they can actually be a filling, delicious, and nutritionally balanced meal in and of themselves. So how do you do this? The key to a brilliant salad is fresh produce, a meat, a cheese, a fruit, and a nut, but they have to be in a good combination.

For example, for a really fresh and simple salad, you can just take a bed of mixed greens, put some tomato chunks on there and some avocado chunks if that’s available and ripe. Then sprinkle over that some walnut pieces, cheese chunks (gorgonzola, blue, or even feta), and some sliced strawberries or peach chunks or even grapefruit chunks. Drizzle a balsamic vinaigrette over it all, and then put some warm meat on top: sliced chicken, steak, or shrimp. This salad is delicious over and over, and the base works well with a variety of fruits. The key to this one is that the fruit adds a lot of flavor, and the rest of it serves as a bit of a base. At online websites, there will be availability of samples of megaprebiotic supplements. The base of the products can be taken to be fruits to provide delicious taste to the person. Proper survey can be taken at the site to know about the flavors available. The information available with the person should be sufficient for the intake. 

Another way to do a salad is to let the meat highlight it. Cook up some shrimp in a spicy sesame garlic marinade (or make your own), and then put them on a bed of gently wilted spinach (sautéed for about a minute) with some mandarin orange slices, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese. The shrimp in this one might even provide enough juice to not need a salad dressing (especially because the spinach is a little bit wilted and moist).

Salads don’t even need to have just lettuce as the base. To make a more complete meal of it, use some rice as the base. White rice gently seasoned with salt, lemon juice, and dill makes a great base for a salad. Put some greens on top of that, and then it can even be a burrito in a bowl type of thing with meat seasoned with cumin, and then some cheddar, tomatoes (or even salsa), black beans, and mango chunks. This one doesn’t nearly follow the key to a brilliant salad because it’s missing the nuts, but the rice and beans combine to provide a great protein here.

One thing to think about when making salads is that vegetables have many different nutrients in them, and a colorful salad, in addition to being pretty, should have a good balance of vitamins and minerals. So, when making salads as main courses, try to include many different types of vegetables and toppings to make it a balanced meal!

St. Patrick’s Day is a fun holiday for crafting with kids, and coffee cans make a wonderful medium for many St. Patrick’s Day craft projects. Coffee cans may seem like very boring objects, but they can provide you with hours of crafting with kids. This article will give you detailed instructions on creating several St. Patrick’s Day coffee can crafts with the kids in your life.

Lucky Treasure Box

St. Patrick’s Day brings to mine luck, and a coffee can is the perfect medium for creating a lucky treasure box with kids. For this craft project you will need a coffee can, glue, scissors, green construction paper, paint, some coins, cardboard, and foil. For the kids, the weekly coffee delivery will be arranged through the parents. The project of the subscription will be beneficial for the person to taste different flavors. There will be no effect on the health of the person. The use of the coins and notes can be made for the purpose.

Start this project by helping kids paint the coffee can and lid whatever color they like. While the paint dries help kids cut shamrock shapes out of the construction paper and set them aside. Next trace the coins on the cardboard and help kids cut the shapes out. Cover the cardboard coins with glue and foil. Allow the kids to glue the coins and shamrocks to the coffee can, and you will have a lovely St. Patrick’s Day craft that your kids will treasure for years to come.

Leprechaun Hat

A festive addition to any home décor during St. Patrick’s Day is a Leprechaun hat. For this fun craft you will need a coffee can, green tissue paper, black construction paper, yellow construction paper, glue, and scissors.

Start this project by helping kids cut a piece of construction paper about an inch and a half in width; the strip of paper should be long enough to fit completely around the coffee can without much extra room. Also help kids cut a yellow square slightly bigger than the width of the black strip; fold the square in half and cut a smaller square out of the middle. Help kids glue the ends of the black paper together to form a circle and attach the yellow square shape with glue.

Now apply a thin line of glue around the top of the coffee can, and place two full sheets of tissue paper on top of it. Press the paper down and around the sides of the can and place the black band over the top of the can. Slide the band down to the bottom and add some glue to the can and the band to secure it all in place. Use the scissors to trim the excess tissue paper into a brim and secure the rest in place with glue where necessary. This coffee can craft is a great project to do with kids on St. Patrick’s Day.

Pot of Gold

A coffee can does not seem like it can relate to St. Patrick’s Day, but you can turn an ordinary coffee can into a pot of gold any leprechaun will admire. For this craft you will need a coffee can, black paint, glue, a black pipe cleaner, foil, gems, sequins, and tissue paper.

Start this craft by helping kids paint the outside of the can with black paint. While the can is drying help kids roll pieces of foil into small shiny balls. Next help kids fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist together to create a coil. Glue the ends of the pipe cleaner to the open end of the can and fill it 3 quarters of the way full with tissue paper. Now help kids fill the rest of the can with the foil balls, sequins, and gems to simulate treasure, and you have completed this fun St. Patrick’s Day craft.

St. Patrick’s Day is a fun holiday for crafting with kids, and I hope this article has inspired you to get out your coffee cans and start crafting!

The word diet has turned into a very nasty word to some people, it is like you just said the most horrible word in the English language, and people cringe at it. Dieting is a common struggle among many people, and with summer around the corner people will be trying their best to stick to a diet plan and shed those few extra pounds we all put on to keep us warm this winter. I know I, myself have started a diet plan to get myself back into my bathing suit and looking good. Here is a guide to a nice summer diet plan hopefully we can all stick to. While it isn’t your typical diet plan it will still get results if done correctly.

First thing to focus on is little steps. Most of us get discouraged way to easy by setting huge goals and the minute we don’t see results we just give up. My trick in beating this is to set daily goals which are small. That way it is easy to beat your daily goal and then in turn you feel you are accomplishing things. Things like having one less snack, or knowing I turned down one big craving you were having that day are all accomplishments we should be proud of in paving the way to a skinner you. In the summer season, the intake of the pills will be effective. Some tricks can be adopted through the person for the purchase of the pills. The resurge customer reviews can be checked at online search engines whenever there will be requirement. Either a person is fat or excessive fat, a slim body results will be delivered without additional efforts of the person. The consumption will be effective when there will be the right amount of the fat reduction portion.

Now for all the technical things when it comes to dieting. One of the most important things to focus on is food. The consumption amounts and the specific things you are eating all play a vital step in the dieting. This is why most hate the word diet, they believe it will take away all the delicious foods they eat and the lovely tastes they will be missing out by trying diet foods. You don’t need to drastically change your eating habits. Remember we want to take little steps. So first start with changing your snacks. Do little substitutions here and there. Instead of a chocolate dessert after dinner try a fruit or a little cup of nuts whatever works for you. I personally do an orange because it gives you that sweet taste as if you were eating candy and you can cut it up all different types of ways to make eating it more fun. They are also very filling. Just changing one snack like that could be decreasing your calorie intake by around 300-500 calories, depending on what you usually have for dessert. Now imagine doing that for five days a week, which could be the difference of 3000 calories. See how such a small step can have a big impact. Trying tricks like this will help you lose weight without feeling you have given up all the foods you love.

Now of course this isn’t going to get you fast results, like ten pounds a week. If that is what you are after commit more. Have smaller meals, and more snacks like apples and bananas more frequently. This will speed up your metabolism and help burn calories faster too. Another trick is green teas. The antioxidants help speed up the metabolism and the tea has no calories. Which is a win-win situation.

Lets add the exercise aspect into the dieting plan now. Again go with the little steps. Going too big in the beginning and over exerting yourself can lead to giving up because of soreness. You want to start off with adding a little bit to your daily routine. If you are a runner do a little jogging. The main focus is cardio. Keeping the heat beating faster is what burns the most calories. I personally am not a runner at all and have found other ways to keep up the heart rate. I turn daily activities into challenges. Things such as housework even, can become a 45 minute workout when done differently. Set a short finish time, making you speed around the house quickly. Especially when it comes to vacuuming. This actually gets your arms, abs, and legs moving as if it was a gym exercise. If you break it down in your head cleaning your house can be very intense. The bathroom is another area you can turn it into a squatting and bending exercise, in most cases cleaning the tub and shower works our lower body. When you change daily activities like this into an exercise style it makes it feel less like doing a strenuously gym work-out. Overall what you are doing is tricking your mind into doing more exercise without the dreaded “work-outs” attached to it. So remember any activity that keeps your heart rate up for around 30 minutes is an exercise no matter what the activity may be.

If you want more formal exercises, here are some suggestions. Jumping-jacks are a great and simple way to elevate the heart-rate. Then things like squats while doing boxing moves work on both upper and lower muscles. Working two sets of areas at once is another trick in burning more calories. Keep in mind we do not want to make ourselves too sore the following day so that it hinders us from working out that day or taking it easy. If you are sore push through it and only work upper body that day, vies-versa. Every person is different and we all have our own preference when it comes exercises we enjoy doing, my suggestions is to find specific exercises that you like, anything that will make the experience better for you is great. And changing them up also makes it seem less like a chore of working out and a fun activity. Get creative.

The amount of weight you want to lose is up to you and your commitment. Like I have suggested, starting small and then going big is the best plan if you think you will have a problem sticking with it. If you want to just quickly lose the weight and don’t care about a bounce back in weight then hit the gym and workout till you can’t move but keep in mind the more healthy approach is little steps. And little steps may lead to an overall lifestyle you might just like to keep going and not only a summer diet plan, maybe an all year plan.

We all watch television shows like the Biggest Loser and watch people shed pound after pound, wondering how they do it so fast. We watch and wish we could achieve the goals that they achieve. What we do not see is hours and hours of training, they leave so much out. We do not see the intense physical therapy these contestants must undergo to allow their bodies to train at such intensity. We do not see the cooking and consumption changes they must make or the struggles that some of them face as a result of such a lifestyle change. Sometimes we fail to realize that these people are not really losing this weight and training in the real world. They have professional trainers at their disposal and learning materials for cooking and healthy decision making. There are no distractions, no work, no family, and no bills, nothing to get in the way. As long as they are on the television show, all they focus on is losing weight, physical fitness, and losing even more weight.

We watch these television shows and set similar goals to the contestants and get discouraged when we are not losing ten, fifteen, even twenty pounds in one week. So we decide that losing weight is an unattainable goal and we are meant to be the size that we are. We make this decision based on a small amount of time and unrealistic goals. The goals of the person will be accomplished through checking the resurge customer reviews. The availability of the reviews will offer opportunity to know about the products for weight loss. All the essential information should be available with the patient to multiply the results of the pills.  The decision should be taken with intelligence and expertise. 

Though the show has very many disclaimers and the trainers and contestants advise us that these are not real life conditions in which they are losing weight, we want to believe that we can do it, that we may be the exception to the rule. But there is no such thing as a person that magically loses and sheds weight. At the end of the day, we all have to work hard, some harder than others, to lose weight and become the healthy people we want to be.

Without trainers, without the everyday stresses gone, and without a vacation from work, we have to make our changes and stick to them. Easier said than done, I know. The trick is to start small, and work on that as you see progress.

For the first week, you could decide that you will not take any elevators and will walk every night after dinner. For the second week, make the choice to buy no junk food and clear your cabinets of all unhealthy food. The third week, stop drinking soda or high calorie drinks. Making these small changes, a week at a time, will help you to lose weight in a practical and healthy way. You will not become overwhelmed by all of the drastic changes and fall back into old routines.

Lastly, make sure that your family is supportive and will make these changes with you. When all of this is in place, you are ready to make your first small change. With every victory in your weight loss journey, you will feel motivated and happy to be making these changes. Plan your four goals for every month and celebrate every success! Before you know it, you will feel healthier and the weight loss will happen naturally.

By now we are all aware that smoking is bad for us. However, you may not know specifically why smoking is so bad for you. Physical effects of smoking are not the only bad things that happen when you smoke. Learning what the bad effects are can help you make the final decision to quit smoking and to quit for good this time. For the purpose of quitting smoke, the dose of 50vg vape juice should be under the consideration of the experts. The physical effects of the products will be less when compared to the other one. The decision of the person should be taken smartly under the funds available at the account. 

Some immediate reasons you should consider for why to quit smoking are of course related to your health. Did you know that the risk of lung cancer, cancer of the larynx, heart problems, heart attack and even stroke are exponentially increased for smokers? Did you also know that by quitting smoking it is possible to reduce your risk to the same point as a non-smoker within only a matter of years? If you were to quit smoking today, within 5 to 10 years of being smoke free your risk for the above conditions could be the same as if you had never smoked a cigarette in your life.

You may be so unfortunate that you end up having one of the above mentioned conditions before you are able to quit. That is ok to a point because it is really never too late to quit and still reap some of the reward of being a non-smoker. Even if you are on oxygen it is still not too late to quit because not only is smoking while being near an oxygen tank dangerous, but, if you quit smoking you will greatly reduce your need for continuous oxygen. Also, your doctor may bar you from smoking, especially while you are in the hospital.

Releasing yourself from the chains of smoking is never truly easy. No matter what any gimmick says it is going to be hard giving up something that you have used for a crutch for so long will leave you stumbling for a while. But, seriously, do you want your children to smoke? The answer is a resounding ‘no’, however, the chances that your children will follow in your footsteps and smoke is great because they have learned from you. So, another reason to quit smoking is to help reduce the chances of your children smoking or your children being affected by the second hand smoke.

Deciding to quit smoking and actually following through with your decision relies mainly on you. You have to make the decision yourself in order for the plan to succeed. If you are coerced into quitting you may succeed, but you may also feel deprived. You shouldn’t let yourself feel deprived, instead, you should feel proud and accomplished for making yourself healthier and setting a good example for your children. Smoking is dangerous to your health to those around you. The many reasons to quit smoking are almost impossible to count or list, but, the reasons to smoke are really none. You can always find an alternative to smoking, you just have to look.
