With changes to many State laws over the last couple of years, the cultivation of medical Marijuana has never been higher. Although illegal under federal law, growing medical Marijuana for personal use is now tolerated in many of the States of the USA, and now you can buy medical Marijuana in Alabama online.
The next decision you will need to make is whether you are going to grow your medical Marijuana seeds in Alabama indoors, or outside. There are several advantages, and disadvantages to both, and while all plants are capable of being grown outdoors, some of the strains we offer are better suited to indoor growing methods than others. Choosing the right seeds for your growing environment is a major part in producing a successful crop.
Growing medical Marijuana in Alabama in a purpose-built, indoor growing area is the best way to control the climate and environment, and will usually produce higher quality buds. By controlling the light hours, temperature, air and nutrients, the indoor grower has far more control over the plants , than those grown outdoors. Growing medical Marijuana indoors also allows the grower to produce buds all year round, rather than only harvest in the early part of the Fall.
It can be easy for new growers to become impatient, waiting months for their plants to mature and produce their first harvest of medical Marijuana in Alabama. This can often lead to plants being harvested early, before they are completely mature and ripe, and ultimately, disappointed growers, who may have waited months for their buds.
We offer a selection of Autoflowering seeds that provide growers the fastest way to grow medical Marijuana in Alabama. Choose from a selection of strains, each with different traits, characteristics and medical attributes, but all ready to harvest in approximately sixty days from outdoor planting. With the ability to grow, flower and bud simultaneously, autoflowering seeds are the perfect choice for outdoor growers looking for a faster harvest.
If you are new to growing medical Marijuana in Alabama one of the easiest way to start is with the White Widow Autoflowering grow kit. This complete kit contains twenty of the finest autoflowering White Widow seeds, each feminized and guaranteed to germinate into a high quality medical Marijuana plant. Also contained in the kit are a complete set of Plant Protectors, designed to protect your plants from many of the common problems faced by growers, including bugs, mites, molds and root infections. All the nutrients needed for a complete and healthy crop are also supplied with the inclusion of the four separate feeding schedules contained in the Flower Power nutrient set.
Whatever type of medical Marijuana seeds in Alabama you wish to grow, from Regular, Feminized or Autoflowering, we have the best and most popular strains available. From 'old-school' classics such as Sour Diesel, OG Kush and Northern Lights, through to some of the latest additions, including; Trainwreck, Blue Dream and the notorious Girl Scout Cookies.

A Marathon reason to run
londonmarathon
An Aberdeenshire woman inspired by a meningitis survivor is taking on this year's London Marathon for us
Louise Urquhart, of Stonehaven, has been inspired by the story of her friend Sophie Macdonald to take on the challenge.
"This will be one of the biggest challenges I have ever done," Louise said, "but when I think what Sophie and her family have been through over the last seven years it seems very little in the grand scheme of things."
Try my hardest
Louise, who turned 40 last year, had completed 37 items from her 40 before 40 list, but had to drop out of taking part in a run due to an ankle injury. So, for 2019, she has decided to take on the big one – the London Marathon.
"All I can say is I will train, try my bloody hardest, keep smiling and raise as much money as I can", Louise added.
Louise was working in a shop alongside Sophie's brother Ben and got to know Sophie and her mum Katrina.
Woke up in agony
She discovered that unfortunately Sophie was struck down by meningitis seven years ago, having woken up in agony after going to bed with what she thought was a common cold.
Doctors told her she would make a full recovery in just two weeks but the 29 year-old has spent years toiling with chronic pain, seizures, sleep deprivation and exhaustion, with doctors blaming a form of recurring meningitis.
Since then Sophie has managed to raise nearly £25,000 for us towards our lifesaving and life-changing work.
You can read Sophie's story here.
Now Louise is looking to support her efforts through her own challenge. You can support her efforts on her JustGiving page at https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/LouiseUrquhart1.
Kirsty Owen-Hayward, our London Marathon Event Manager, said, "What a fantastic way to fight back against meningitis and we wish Louise all the best for her London Marathon challenge."
A taster of Toubkal
The 360 degree view from the summit is like no other; it's well-earned and worth every step
A model fundraiser
Mike said that "by all rights" he should not be here to tell the story, let alone build a model railway
One year, twelve marathons
I'm grateful that my twelfth and final marathon of the challenge will be at London 2019. It's a special event for me
The Hub of the action
If you've made it your mission this year to take exercise to a new level, we're here to help

The first permanent British settlement in what became the United States was established in 1607, nearly 170 years prior to the American declaration of independence. This chapter examines the economic development of the British North American colonies that became the United States. As it describes, abundant natural resources contributed to the remarkable growth in the size of the colonial economy and allowed the free white colonial population to enjoy a standard of living among the highest in the world at that time. While living standards were comparatively high, there was not much improvement over time. Scarce labor and capital, the corollary of abundant resources, also played an important role in shaping colonial institutions, encouraging reliance on indentured and enslaved labor and influencing the development of representative governmental institutions. The colonial period ended with the American declaration of independence in 1776. For most of the colonial era, the colonists had happily accepted their relationship to Britain. Changes in British policies following the end of the Seven Years War in 1763, however, created tensions between Britain and the colonies that ultimately led to the colonies to declare their independence.

What makes a great Euan's Guide listing?
Euan's Guide, the disabled access review website and app, is the main sponsor of Disabled Access. This year we are asking all venues to list of Euan's Guide, why? It's simple - to ensure all the information people require about access is in one place. But how do you make sure your listing has all the information that's needed and that your venue stands out from the crowd?
Cliché? Perhaps, but venues with good pictures get more engagement than bare listings. Why? We can promote venues that have pictures in our newsletter, in our blogs and on social media. Posts on social media that feature an image attract a lot more attention, and the same is true for listings on Euan's Guide. Plus the more photographs you provide the clearer the picture potential visitors can paint when they're deciding whether or not to visit your venue – so get uploading!
Westminster Abbey even include a handy diagram in their listing complete with the nearest tube stations and entrances to the building.
If you have one, definitely share it in your Euan's Guide listing. People can get a brief overview of the access features your venue has through Euan's Guide, but if you can offer even more information then definitely do. Then if people want additional information to what's listed on Euan's Guide they can easily find it.
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh have added their access statement on Euan's Guide. If you don't have a statement but would like to write one for your venue take a look at the tools available on the VisitEngland and VisitScotland websites.
Information about accessible toilets, alongside wheelchair access, is often the most sought out information by disabled people looking to try somewhere new. Where are your accessible toilets? What are the dimensions? Do you have a Changing Places toilet? This kind of information is crucial for disabled people who may need access to an accessible toilet so make sure you include detailed information in your listing.
Eureka! The National Children's Museum in Halifax has accessible toilets and a Changing Places toilet, they include information and a photograph of the facilities available in their listing so people know what to expect.
If your venue is a bit tight for space, be upfront about it. Do people need to book before they arrive? Do you only allow a certain amount of wheelchair users in to your venue at a time? Does your type of venue hold events that ask visitors to provide access requirements in advance? Be clear about what you are asking from your visitors to avoid disappointment when they arrive.
Mercat Tours in Edinburgh run city tours but due to the nature of the city some of them aren't accessible, their listing lets users know what routes are and aren't accessible and gives the option to arrange a private accessible tour of the city.
Customers don't just think about your venue when deciding if they wish to visit; they also think about how they would go about getting there and what services are in the vicinity. Searching for public transport routes, let alone accessible ones, is a time consuming and often stressful task. You know your location better than anyone, so make it easier for your customers to arrive by sharing parking and transport information in your listing. For visitors accompanied by an assistance dog, you could also offer suggestions of nearby parks where they may take their dog.
The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Great Missenden provides lots of information about local transport, including the number of local accessible taxi firm.
Remember to keep your Euan's Guide listing up to date! If anything changes make sure you log back in to your account and edit your information so people know that the information they find on the site truly reflects what's going on at your venue and there are no surprises. Whether it's a brand new refurbishment or a new service you're offering, make sure you let people know about it!
So if listing on Euan's Guide is still on your to-do list, today is a great day to tick it off! Head over to EuansGuide.com now and join the thousands of other venues that are already shouting about their accessibility.

Q: How can I kill Zelkarons without the Silver chimes? How can I kill Zelkarons without the Silver chimes? My understanding is I need to kill one while holding the Blue Necklace instead.

 This is apparently required to survive the charging of the Evil Ring required to bypass the Devil's Gaze.

A: You don't actually need to have the ring equiped at this stage, so you can switch to the chimes instead. You equip or unequip it from the inventory screen the same way you would equip the underwater breathing necklace or use the crystal or the shell. Equiped items have the blue background in their slot.
Killing the Zelkarons is a bit tougher matter, but it's just a question of hacking and slashing them for a bit, or gaining a level or two (or more) and returning.
Only AFTER the ring is charged you need to have the crystal necklace equiped not to die while putting on the ring.

A: You can't: you have to use the silver chimes. My understanding is I need to kill one while holding the Blue Necklace instead is wrong:

 There actually are a couple of seconds between the "Evil Ring has charged" message and the 9,999 damage that kills you. If you open the menu immediately after the message appears and equip the Blue Necklace, you will not take damage.

Lee Jung Hee's online community supporters to close down cafe
An online community in support of Lee Jung Hee's cause has released an apology and confirmed the closure of their website. The online community, which has more than thirty thousand members in support of Lee Jung Hee, has announced that they will be closing down the page. The said website was responsible for spreading the story about Lee Jung Hee and her two sons and provided details about the case against the father, family members and thirty unidentified persons. After the online community contacted various media portals, the story went viral not only in South Korea but internationally through Koreaboo and other international news agency such as CNN.
According to Herald, after the airing of the recent episode of We Want To Know The Truth, the online community that support Lee Jung Hee's case posted an official statement.
The administrators posted the statement on July 27th on their website titled "Our Official Statement Regarding the Case" and stated that, "We were all shocked after watching the episode of We Want To Know The Truth. There were too many instances on the program that conflicted with what Lee Jung Hee claimed in the case. All 8 of our admins are not directly connected to Lee Jung Hee but wanted to trust and help her cause after hearing her alleged stories."
They continued to reveal that "We never questioned ourselves to think that what type of mother would front her own two sons for her own benefit. We bemoan this ridiculous situation that suddenly made us liars and cried wolves. We apologize to all of the netizens who have been confused this month. We also apologize to the police department, hospital officials and even the producers of SBS 'We Want To Know The Truth' for preventing them from doing their job. We will put a halt to receiving donations and will close down the cafe on July 31st."
The online community has been raising money for Lee Jung Hee and her two sons and the lawyer fees for their case.
After airing of Korea's program We Want To Know The Truth last Friday, many netizens and supporters showed their disbelief regarding Lee Jung Hee's case.
[ +247 / -53] The fact that we netizens are furious about is not the fact that you all tried to help Lee Jung Hee. You all cussed at people who were suspecting due to lack of evidence~ You guys only wanted to see and hear things that you guys wanted to see and hear…. If anyone wasn't fully supporting your guys' cause, you all related them with the government, media, broadcasting station and even claims that they were working for Mr. Huh (former husband)…. We are mad at the fact that you all just pointed fingers and said ridiculous things. You all screamed for fair investigation… when you guys were the most unfair of all…. You guys claimed to fight for justice…. And kept saying it was only for justice…. You can't end this apology just through a writing on a post. Go bow down 3,000 times at Gwanghamoon or bow for forgiveness…. Apologies are apologies… but I believe that these people also need to be punished by the law. They are also accomplices of Lee Jung Hee.
[ +180 / -21] You guys just spread the news not only to Korea but internationally without any solid proof but words of someone who needs mental help. What proof did you guys act on until now? This became an issue amongst international fans and reporters after seeing translated articles. I bet you guys masturbated in happiness after the issue became viral and thought you guys were enhancing national prestige or something? But what now? The case was revealed to be a scam and all you guys are saying you guys will just close the online cafe that started all this? What all of you have to do is come together once again and apologize openly for the misunderstanding and havoc you all have caused and take care of all the issues that you all have caused even internationally. Like you guys have done before, spread your apologies and the details of this scam to international readers as well. Like the feel-good justice emotions you felt before by spreading this issue, do the same thing by sending out the truth and your apologies! Don't just say 'I don't know~' to South Korea and it's people who have been humiliated by your actions. Please apologize correctly and take care of the mess internationally.
[ +134 / -15] Where did all the people insulting and cussing at people who had a little of suspicion and asked 'is this for real?' hahahahaahaha

We checked out SMG Studio's Over The Top Tower Defense title (OTTTD) last month and were stoked about its unique take on the genre. With an impressive melding of traditional TD and action-RPG elements, all of my expectations as to what it had to offer were happily exceeded. Indeed, OTTTD ($4.99) not only takes tower defense to a gameplay depth rarely seen for the genre, but it does so with ease, making this an awesome and refreshing update to the classic genre.
At its core, OTTTD is tried-and-true tower defense with an impressive action-RPG layer on top of it. You have your typical selection of basic towers that can both be upgraded in strength and transformed into 'advanced' towers that offer different perks like anti-air specialties, exceptional range increases, and so on. Most of the maps also fall into typical TD archetypes, although I really enjoyed the boss maps, which offer a pretty unique twist to boss battles beyond the usual big bad guy slowing rumbling to the end point (which, in OTTTD is the destruction of your base). The tower defense portion on its own is pretty standard, but it's balanced well compared to its IAP offerings and I really enjoyed its emphasis on less waves that have more enemies.
Where I think OTTTD really shines is with its hero system. After a few tutorial missions, players can choose up to three heroes to accompany you on a TD map. Now, heroes have been implemented well in TD titles before (Kingdom Rush comes to mind), but it's never been done at such a grand scale. Each hero is pretty unique, and they have a lot of special skills only available to them. For example, the Engineer has a host of repair and temporary tower upgrades available to him while the Saboteur has a host of mines at his disposal. Heroes aren't restricted to paths either, so you can set your Recon sniper up in the middle of the map while you can micromanage your other soldiers into the thick of battle. There's a total of seven heroes to unlock and map tactics can change drastically depending on who you take into battle.
To add even more complexity to the hero system, each has a total of sixteen different abilities (some passive, some active) that can be unlocked by spending skill points earn via level ups. In addition, heroes can only take two active skills into battle, meaning that players will have to choose which of the half dozen to not only select, but also to invest in upgrading. Choosing between investing in your Recon's sniping abilities via range and damage increases, or focusing on upgrading his active abilities which can offer some impressive long-range damage output become meaningful questions. Finally, as if that wasn't enough, each hero has their own tree of weapon unlocks which not only increase overall damage but can also change the type of damage done (tying back to certain passive skills that upgrade certain damage types).
There's a dizzying amount of options within OTTTD and they're all pretty easy to understand and upgrade. Most TD titles focus on the journey of jumping from map to map towards completion. With its impressive depth, I'd argue that OTTTD puts just as much emphasis on hero cultivation and customizability. Sure I want to unlock and check out new maps, but I care just as much about replaying older missions simply to unlock and upgrade new skills. It all leads to a TD experience that's far deeper than the majority of the genre offerings on iOS.
Then there's the combat and presentation itself, which is truly over-the-top. Story snippets are rife with humor, all aspects of the game exude a futuristic vibe which I enjoyed, and the actual battles against waves of enemies are incredibly gory to the point of hilarity. Every alien enemy explodes into bits and pieces that get littered across the battlefield and stay there for the duration of the map. One particular hero skill set even makes those giblets explode, dealing additional damage to enemies around it. Clean battlefields quickly give way to a new meaning to the term "guts and glory." One minor complaint with this approach is that it does become hard to see tower/hero health as well as paths and even enemies once the map has had a few waves. However, I think it's all worth it.
Other than the above minor issues, my concerns with OTTTD are few and far between. A tutorial outside of the missions and the ability to see the names of potential advanced towers before upgrading them (at this point you kinda have to memorize the pictures and what they do) would be nice and can easily be added. Otherwise, this is such a deep and unique take on tower defense that everyone really has to check it out. In my view there will always be room for awesome takes on traditional TD games but I hope developers take note because OTTTD proves that the genre can be improved in an awesome way while still staying true to its roots.

EDO: Gunmen Shoot Divisional Police Officer
by Editor MediaOrchid on 14:33 in Defence and Security
Gunmen, Attack, Shoot Divisional Police Officer In Edo State, Leave Him For Dead.
Some gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have reportedly shot the Divisional Police Officer of Igarra Police Station in Akoko-Edo local government area of Edo State, Suleiman Muhammed, along the Auchi-Igarra-Ibillo road.
The unfortunate incident which occurred on Tuesday a few metres before Sasaro around 7pm caused commuters to be stranded until the intervention of the local vigilante group members who evacuated the injured officer.
It was stated that the assailants thought Muhammed was dead and cleared the road.
A member of the vigilante group from Igarra said the DPO was shot in the eyes, arm, and stomach adding that he might have been shot with an AK-47 as they recovered bullets and other cartridges from the scene of the attack.
He said "The DPO had earlier called us in the morning to a place where they said some suspected yahoo boys constituted a nuisance, then later around 3 pm, he told us that these suspected kidnappers were blocking the road, so we went there and chased them away.
"I was told that later in the evening after inspecting the change of guard, the DPO proceeded in his Toyota Camry car to Auchi where his family resides. The people laid ambush after the near Sasaro and shot him severally, I believe they thought he was dead and then abandoned him.
"Their gunshots made motorists going and coming from Auchi stop until we arrived at the scene in the company of the police to rush the DPO to the hospital. He was bleeding profusely because he was shot in the eyes, arm, and stomach; after stabilising him, he was rushed to Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital.

A 20-week fetus was diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot and multicystic kidneys. The postmortem study showed missing müllerian structures with small streak ovaries, external male genitalia, and an abnormal cloacal septation (imperforate anus with a sigmoid colon opening in the bladder). As the observed anomalies were related with septation, a mechanism related with the activation of specific growth factors, we discuss the possibility of a disorder in the function of the bone morphogenetic proteins as a common cause for the widespread anomalies found in this fetus.
In the embryo heart, the conotruncal and atrioventricular cavities are divided by mean of endocardial cushions, forming the 4 chambers and the outflow tracts. Similarly, in the cloaca, a septation occurs when the mesoderm of the urorectal septum grows in an apical basal direction forming the bladder and the rectum. In the kidney, however, the opposite mechanism applies, as no septation is expected when the ureteric bud branches within the metanephric mesenchyme [1]. Septation is therefore an essential and widespread process in human development. Subsequently, any disruption due to excess or fault may cause malformation. Isolated anomalies of septation are frequently reported; however, when two or more septation disorders associate, a common etiology might exist. We present an example of this association in a 20-week fetus with cardiac, cloacal, and renal malformations and propose a plausible etiology for this sequence of malformations.
A 23-year-old woman in her first pregnancy with an ordinary follow-up and no previous medical history attended our ultrasound unit for a 20-week scan. The sonographic findings (levorotation of the cardiac axis, pericardial effusion, large overriding aorta, perimembranous ventricular septal defect, and narrow pulmonary artery) (Figures 1 and 2) diagnosed tetralogy of Fallot. The right atrium was slightly enlarged, and the fetus presented dysplastic (multicystic) kidneys with oligohydramnios (Figure 3). Due to the dreadful prognosis, the parents decided to terminate the pregnancy. The postmortem study confirmed the sonographic findings; however, it showed a right-sided aortic arch and an abnormal cloacal septation (imperforate anus with a sigmoid colon opening in the posterior side of the bladder) (Figures 4 and 5), which was not seen prenatally. Although the FISH showed only two copies of the X chromosome probe, with absence of a SRY marker, an external male genitalia with hypospadias was present (Figure 4). Internally, the uterus and fallopian tubes were missing and only two small streak ovaries with oogonia at both sides of the bladder were seen. Genetic test was also performed to rule out microdeletions in the chromosome 22 and mutations in the genes causing 21-hydroxylase-deficiency. All with negative results.
Color Doppler ultrasound showing the "Y sign". Blood flow passes from the right and left ventricles, through the VSD (arrow), into an overriding enlarged aorta. Turbulent flow is shown as reddish areas around the aortic valve.
Small stenotic pulmonary vein (p) is seen connecting with the right ventricle (arrow).
Transabdominal ultrasound showing a dysplastic (multicystic) kidney (arrow).
This female fetus showed masculine external genitalia with an imperforate anus (arrow).
Cloacal septation anomaly. The sigmoid colon (C) ends in the bladder (B) (arrow). The ureters are short and connect with two dysplastic kidneys (K).
We were not able to find a common etiology for the association of malformations seen in this fetus; however, the observed anomalies seemed to be related with septation, a mechanism recently related with the progressive activation of specific growth factors. Although several molecules have been involved in this process, the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth factors belonging to the ß-TGF superfamily, have become increasingly important. Concerning our case, they drew our attention as (1) in the heart, BMPs- and BMP-type II receptors are needed for septation of the outflow tract, and BMPs malfunction causes conotruncal anomalies [2], (2) in the embryonic cloaca, loss of BMP7 has been involved in the arrest of cloacal septation and genital defects [3], and (3) in the kidney, where branching of the ureteric bud depends on its inductive interactions with the metanephric mesenchyme, BMP-2,3,4,5, and 7 are expressed behaving as autocrine and paracrine molecules in the process of conducting renal development [4, 5].
BMPs and many other growth factors initiate, conduct, and finalize septation processes in the human body. It seems therefore plausible that any disturbance of the molecules in charge of these systemic processes may cause widespread anomalies of septation (heart, cloaca and kidneys).
Also, we were unable to find a known etiology for the existence of a female pseudohermaphroditism as there was no history of hormonal intake, and the genetic tests for the SRY translocation and 21 hydroxylase deficiency were negative. However, anomalies of the cloaca in association with female pseudohermaphroditism have been previously reported [6–8], sometimes included in the urorectal septum malformation sequence [9]. For these associations, the BMPs may also have a role, as BMP7 has been involved in the formation of the urethra and genital tubercle [10].

Not even a hint of skunk
Without dark, you've got no light. Without down, you've got no up.
by Todd Tanner - Friday, Jul 19th, 2019
The author, circa 2005.
Some of you might remember It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the animated Halloween cartoon that featured Linus, Snoopy, Lucy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang. One particular line out of that classic 1966 TV show still rings true. When the kids asked him how he'd done trick-or-treating, poor Charlie Brown, who was wearing his sad-sack, many-holed Ghost costume, answered, "I got a rock."
I got a rock.
Well, it was the last afternoon of our week-long steelhead trip to BC and I was the one with the rock. I hadn't hooked a steelhead, much less landed one, and I was looking good ol' Mr. Skunk right in the eye.
That's right. Skunked. Zip. Nada. I could soften things up a little by telling you that a promising trip to one of the finest steelhead destinations in the world had been knocked cattywumpus by a couple days of heavy rain — it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the local rivers had gone from easily wadeable to suicide-high overnight — yet the truth is that I was the only guy who hadn't hooked up. Peter landed a tremendous, chrome-bright fish our first day out, Troy connected with a dandy of a buck that he estimated in the high teens later that same day, and Billy ... well, let's just say that Billy was The Man. He hooked, landed and released two monstrous 18 lb.+ steelhead on Wednesday and then stuck an even bigger fish (in water the color of mud) when we finally managed to get back on the river Saturday morning. When he landed that last fish, which pounded a black leech just as it started to swing up off the bottom, you could almost hear an angelic chorus singing praises of the man with the golden rod and the Tom Cruise smile.
As for myself, I guess you could say that at the same time I was snapping photos of Billy's twenty pound steelhead, I was leaning toward humble. Which, given the number of big fish I've been lucky enough to catch over the years, might seem fitting. After all, without dark, you've got no light; without down, you've got no up. My point being that if you don't get skunked occasionally, it's hard to be truly appreciative of all those great days on the water.
Terrace Chrome
Living the Dream: 2011 in Black and White
Still, you can take the Charlie Brown thing just a touch too far and when Billy sang out, "Fish On!" the very last afternoon of our trip — the fast-dropping sun setting his fly line and backing aglow on the far side of the river — my happiness for my friend was somewhat tempered by the leaden weight of my own skunking. Not that I begrudged him this latest behemoth. I didn't. In fact, I was relieved to see that jealousy didn't jump up, grab my guts and twist. But Billy's continued success stood in sharp contrast to my own lack thereof, and in a moment of clarity I decided that it was time to regroup. I stopped fishing, waded back to the bank and took a break.
Billy was still playing his steelhead five minutes later when I stepped into the river and flipped out a little 20 foot cast. The fly, a size 4 pink and white leech I'd just tied on, drifted about 5 feet and then paused in the shallow water. I set the hook with no expectation of success — hell, it was an ersatz cast, a line-lengthening cast, the kind I rarely even bother to fish — and then I watched in amazement as my fly line started zipping off my reel and heading for the far side of the river.
I was dumbfounded, thinking for a moment that I was experiencing some sort of bizarre hallucination, and then, when it finally dawned on me that I'd hooked up, I let loose with a yell and tried to put the brakes on my new friend. No point in allowing the fish — I didn't know if it was a steelhead, a cutthroat or a dolly at that point — to run me across the river and dive into a logjam on the far side.
It's still hard for me to believe, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't stop him. He was too strong. But Lady Luck, who was obviously standing by my side, convinced the fish to surge toward the surface, where he rolled and thrashed just shy of the far bank.
He was huge.
Now huge is a relative term, most any steelhead being huge when compared to your average brown or rainbow, but it was immediately apparent that this particular fish was exceptionally large, even for a steelhead; a fish of such epic, heroic proportions that it seemed I'd wandered into a Greek Tragedy, the kind where the hero dies a slow death of many cuts and the audience toasts his valor while lamenting the fact that he never really had a chance.
Did I have a chance? I didn't know. But I'll tell you this. If it was a fight, they would have stopped it. I've never had a fish take me into my backing more than twice. This fish did it six different times. He beat my hands raw as I tried in vain to palm the reel, and then, when I grabbed the spool in desperation, he tore it out of my grip, smoking up and down the river, shooting out monstrous wakes like a torpedo. Such raw power. Unbelievable. I've never experienced anything like it, not even with the King Salmon I've hooked over the years.
If Troy, who'd heard me yelling and came zooming down the bank, hadn't gotten below the buck and kept him from crashing down out of the tailout and heading for the ocean, I'd have been toast; burnt, black and smoking on the edges. As it was, I kept that 8 weight Loomis bent so hard that I was sure it was going to stick little graphite daggers in my face when it finally blew up. Which it had to — no rod could handle that strain.
But it did — thanks, G. Loomis — and sweet Luck kept singing in my ear, and when Troy finally grabbed that oar-sized tail, the Christians had overcome the Lions and my whole world was completely focused on a magnificent, stunning fish — a gift I didn't deserve, a gift from the Creator.
Which isn't quite the end of my story.
It turned out that Billy ended up losing his behemoth when it ran him out to the very end of his backing — at that point, it was either break him off intentionally or forfeit the entire line — but he hooked another steelhead almost immediately, a fifteen pound hen that he landed on the far side of the river after a knockdown brawl. And believe it or not, I stuck a second fish, a pretty hen who jumped a half dozen times before she eventually came to hand.
Best of all, Troy, who hadn't hooked up since the first day of our trip, connected with an incredibly strong buck, a gorgeous, fresh-from-the-ocean fish that just went wild and beat him to a pulp. Troy's a great angler, though, and I managed to return his earlier favor, tailing the very last fish of the trip as the sun sank below the mountains to the west. It was epic; an amazing finish to a perfect day. And as we were walking back to the truck, the crisp Canadian air filling our lungs with the rich fragrance of that ancient boreal forest, one particular scent was conspicuously absent.
There wasn't a hint, not even a hint, of skunk.

Hi paul just wanting a bit of advice on a problem a car is having in my workshop.
So its bringing up a code for post cat a/f sensor reading lean, the thing we are struggling with is have observed fuel trims and we dont seem to be getting anything out of the ordinary and the code is logged when on deceleration and only at about 800 rpm. We suspected possible 02 sensor which was swapped and same result. The vehicle does not seem to have any noticeable drivability issues and no complaints of low power or anything.
I thought it could possibly be related to a dirty injector as i have seen a code for this type of lean condition in the past but not on the same vehicle.
Was just hoping you may have some advice for me possibly or a direction we may be able to go in. From memory code p2096.
Last edit: 14 Apr 2019 20:30 by Jakeo.
What year, make, model, and engine size is this car?
Do you have sensor graphing capabilities?
Definitely need the Y/M/M. P2096 is a somewhat common code across multiple makes, unfortunately.
Sorry it is a 2010 mazda cx7, 2.3turbo motor. I do have an old snapon modis scan tool with a 4 channel scope however iv not used it much hence why iv joined this site to try and continue learning.
Have attached picture of freeze frame capture of code. Just a bit confused as we dont seem to be getting abnormal fuel trim readings to indicate a lean condition. Its the downstream 02 sensor that is logging this code.
If the trims are solid across all conditions, then I'd start by looking for an exhaust leak. Doesn't matter if you can hear one or not - even pinholes can piss off the downstream fuel control.
Smoking the exhaust would be a good idea. If you have an exhaust cone and an air pressure regulator, that'd be even better. Dial it up to around 5 PSI and use soapy water to look for leaks.

Meigs disorder an uncommon, particularly fascinating disorder of the old, which is portrayed by a triad of a benign ovarian tumor (fibroma, fibrothecoma, Brenner tumour, and occasionally granulosa cell tumour), hydrothorax, ascites.
The possible conclusion of this pathology is fundamentally clinical regardless of the precious esteem that imaging strategies have. It also creates a condition of perplexity in the determination by impersonating ovarian tumours and in this manner turns into a diagnosis of exclusion. Hence, precise diagnosis gets to be distinctly important to differentiate it from ovarian malignancy considering the reality of it having a good prognosis.
The case herein concerns a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman coming with history of mass per abdomen with acute pain abdomen, with clinical and radiological examination revealing a large pelvic tumour of size 15*12 cm with cystic and solid components associated with bilateral pleural effusion with moderate ascites.


Spring Cone Crusher is early equipment. According to different applications, there are three kinds of crushing chamber can be chose. Cone crusher with standard type chamber is used for medium crushing, medium type chamber is used for fine crushing, and short head type is used for ultra-fine crushing.
Spring Cone Crusher breaks material by squeezing or compressing it between convex and concave shaped surfaces covered by manganese as the wear surface. Normally used as the secondary or tertiary crusher, the cone crusher has been developed to crush high or medium hardness material, such as iron ore ,copper ore, limestone, quartz, granite, and sand stones, etc.

Time Out Escapes

Update: since the end of 2013, the Lamb no longer brews its own beers.
What better way to drink beer than surrounded by the gleaming copper tanks in which it was made? A brand-new set of brewing equipment takes pride of place in the Lamb Brewery, formerly the Barley Mow off Turnham Green. From the vats comes around eight varieties, including a hefeweizen wheat beer, a Belgian-style gueuze and an American pale ale (which isn't American or pale, but succeeds nonetheless).
The journey from mash tun to tap is mere metres – this is the true definition of 'locally produced'. Along with the guest beers on tap and in bottle, the range is wide enough to make this a destination for west London beer lovers. Stocks of the own-brewed stuff were a bit low on our Sunday night visit, but the exuberant barman was more than happy to offer tasters of alternative draughts and talk me through the selection of bottles.
The pub itself has had a refurb, lightening the place up and softening the edges. The centuries-old building would now be unrecognisable to its original inhabitants, but despite its size it's still cosy.
The updated-pub-classics menu is served in both the separate dining room or the more casual bar: there's fish and chips, pies, roasts, mussels, fish cakes, all competently done.
The original Lamb opened on a nearby site in 1790, and this welcome revival is, at time of writing, around the thirtieth brewery in London. It's a flock we're happy to follow.

Landfill and global warming. What's the link?
Waste may be contributing more to climate change than scientists previously believed. In 2012, Americans dumped twice as much trash into landfills than formerly estimated or reported, which has led to greater emissions than expected.
Waste in landfill releases methane gas, and this is the greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. In fact, methane is 23 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, which is the most prevalent greenhouse gas.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that landfills are the third highest contributor of methane emissions in the U.S, with nearly a fifth of all methane emissions coming from these landfills. While landfills employ methane gas collection technology, researchers say that these methods need to be improved at open landfill sites.
"Today we're dumping 70 million tons of global warming pollution into the environment, and tomorrow we will dump more, and there is no effective worldwide response. Until we start sharply reducing global-warming pollution, I will feel that I have failed." Al Gore.
New initiatives needed
Proper management of waste disposal and effective recycling is needed to decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to save energy. New rules have been introduced in the U.S. to reduce methane emissions, but this course of action focuses on the oil and gas industry, and doesn't tackle key contributors of methane emissions such as landfills and agriculture.
As urbanisation moves people into cities, waste increases, making the need to deal with the problem of pollution from landfills even more pressing. The United Nations predicts that cities around the globe could see their populations rise by 2.5 billion by 2050.
"As that urbanisation occurs, you have more materiality, more consumption, and that begets residuals of waste materials." Jon T. Powell, Yale University Researcher.
So, what's needed is a commitment to waste prevention, reuse, and recycling and composting, because these strategies reduce more pollution, save more energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions more than any other action.
Reduce environmentally damaging e-waste through secure computer recycling.
Responsible computer recycling is vital, if you want to play your part in reducing potentially health and environmentally-harming e-waste, as well as keeping your data secure. So if your company is one that is committed to the ethical recycling of its obsolete computers and technology products, make sure secure and environmentally friendly computer recycling that adheres to proper recycling regulations is part of your consideration. It's also important to be aware that companies are now legally obliged to safely dispose of potentially sensitive information in accordance with current security laws and the Data Protection Act of 1998. Be sure only to use a computer recycling company that operates in accordance with, and preferably exceeds all government guidelines such as the WEEE Directive and the Data Protection Act.

Medicine: the multi billion dollar drug scam called the pharma industry
Medicine: the multi billion dollar…
Times have changed, 10 years ago a person was arrested for smoking marijuana, 40 years ago the person would have been ostracized and called a "hippie" or " rebel" or worse. Now the same Government that jailed thousands for use of "narcotic" substances has legalized marijuana and even licenses the sale of Marijuana chocolates and biscuits.
To quote a former vice-president of Pfizer: "It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry…"
In his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare 1st Edition, Peter Gotzsche , has shown the unholy nexus between Governments and Drug companies in lying to the population and forcing entire populations to subject themselves to potentially dangerous vaccines supported and underwritten by the Government.
The licenced Drug Dealers
What else have Western Governments been lying about? One thing is for sure, the biggest lie, even bigger than Sadam's "chemical Weapons" is the LICENSED DRUG DEALERS – The PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. The Pharmaceutical companies have killed more people than all the narcotics in the world.
A case in point is Vioxx, the US FDA said it was safe, approved it for sale and then after hundreds of millions of dollars spent on "clinical studies" and millions more on marketing, it grew to a 2.5 billion dollar disaster!! SAFE? Really? Medical professionals claim that the drug's manufacturer not only worked to conceal the risks associated with Vioxx but also schemed with federal drug regulators to keep them under wraps for as long as possible.
But do these licensed drug dealers tell you that the world's biggest drug ASPRIN came from a herb? Or that several anti-cancer molecules such as vincristine/vinblastine, etoposide, camptothecin all are natural compounds synthesized by drug companies in order to patent the drugs and charge criminal prices. Do they tell you that quinine for Malaria is a natural drug or that reserpine for hypertension a natural molecule? They lie and scheme with Governments to tell the world that ONLY synthetic drugs are effective when that cannot be farther from the truth.
Nature, the master chemist
The fact is that more than half of the world's population still relies entirely on plants for medicines, and plants supply the active ingredients of most traditional medical products. Plants have also served as the starting point for countless drugs on the market today.
Researchers generally agree that natural products from plants and other organisms have been the most consistently successful source for ideas for new drugs, since nature is a master chemist. Drug discovery scientists often refer to these ideas as "leads," and chemicals that have desirable properties in lab tests are called lead compounds. Relatively speaking, very few species of living things on Earth have actually been seen and named by scientists. Many of these unidentified organisms aren't necessarily lurking in uninhabited places.
A few years ago, for instance, scientists identified a brand-new species of millipede in a rotting leaf pile in New York City's Central Park, an area visited by thousands of people every day.
Scientists estimate that Earth is home to at least 250,000 different species of plants, and that up to 30 million species of insects crawl or fly somewhere around the globe. Equal numbers of species of fungi, algae, and bacteria probably also exist.
Despite these vast numbers, chemists have tested only a few of these organisms to see whether they harbor some sort of medically useful substance. The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines for some part of their primary health care.
In Germany, about 600 – 700 plant based medicines are available (and manufactured only by pharmaceutical companies) and are prescribed by some 70% of German physicians. Here's a great example of how ridiculous the situation really is in the West. There is a long history of use and acknowledgement by people on almost every continent that prunes are a great natural remedy to treat and cure mild to moderate constipation (a health condition). But if a company selling dried prunes, prune juice, or capsules containing dried prune juice actually makes that entirely truthful statement in their marketing materials, on their food labels, on their website, or refers in any way to this long established traditional use of treating or curing a medical condition, that food product is instantly transformed into a drug in the eyes of the FDA. Now that company is selling an unlicensed drug and subject to criminal and civil prosecution. The product in the eyes of the FDA is "unsafe" since there are no double-blind placebo clinical trials proving the safety and efficacy of prunes being used to treat or cure constipation.
Prunes therefore become a drug and require "clinical data" , "safety data" that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, just to prove what everyone already knows for 3000 years!
And they call themselves the greatest country on earth? Well fortunately, we live in India where the Government recognizes and licenses the use of herbal medicine and there are far lower instances of Mad cow disease etc.
The pharmaceutical industry has knowingly destroyed the inherent immunity of the western world and offers nothing more than palliative medicine. The world is getting sicker not just of disease but of these Licensed Drug Dealers. If a Mexican produces a drug he is a criminal but when the Government produces it, its fine!! Do Mexicans or Columbians produce nerve gas? Or do they kill millions with Agent Orange? This is not a case to defend criminal drug dealers but to show that Western Governments lie and use even more dangerous substances on their people than any drug cartel does.
So now let's face the truth: the ONLY real cure lies in nature. In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised better living through chemistry. Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries. In the face of this national health crisis, Fitzgerald also presents informed and practical suggestions for what we can do to turn the tide and live healthier lives.
In his book The 100 Year Lie, Fitzgerald has outlined the connivance of an entire industry with the regulators to cheat, lie and produce potentially toxic vitamins. Fitzgerald has shown that nature actually provides ALL the required phytochemicals a human needs for vitality, health & beauty.
There is no greater cause worthy of our efforts than to change this incredibly massive scam perpetrated on us by drug dealers… with a license!

Are we really getting a "natural" product? Is the industry selling you hype?
PROTECT NATURE AND PRESERVE OUR HEALTH
Dr. Ashok Kumar Batham says:
The pharmaceutical industry has been exploiting the general public, particularly the patients, in connivance with prescribers, the doctors or healthcare providers, by developing non-essential drugs and marketing them as medicines. A large number of me-too drugs with similar actions, therapeutic benefits, safety, and dosage regimens with marginal differences among them and practically no major benefits over the predecessors have been produced and sold with the help of gullible doctors. Patent-expired drugs have been presented to the patients in new 'avatar' with minor modifications which do not offer any advantages, through the prescriptions of our highly qualified and knowledgeable doctors. Now the time has come to awaken the medical profession.
Vikram Naharwar says:
Dear Dr Batham, its extremely encouraging to see that there are people like you who see through the smoke screens of the pharmaceutical industry. The Indian Government has started taking steps to delicense what's termed as "irrational" combinations. As you have rightly stated, minor irrational changes to a formula is presented as a Novel product with no therapeutic value vis-a vis any other of its class.
The greed of prescribers and the chain of lucre is a criminal one and it would be interesting to see the actual value of "physician samples" given away "free".
More strength to you and those like you…Nature will always come up on top..I just hope it happens before the Pharmaceutical industry poisons humans out of existence.
