The author, an artist, talks about living on the Avenue for the Arts, her city-inspired abstract paintings and a bit of history about the building where her artwork is on exhibit during Free Radical 2012.

When I moved into a live/work space in Martineau Apartments last year, artists had already been on Division Avenue for years, acting as agents of change alongside tenacious business and building owners. I was very excited to join the ranks of this creative, welcoming community. Nine years after Free Radical came into being, I opened my second-floor studio area for Free Radical 2011, showing charcoal drawings I'd created at Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School and during life drawing sessions hosted in my space.
At the beginning of 2012, in the wintery drear of January, I began working with color again and painting, after a long period of making primarily figurative charcoal drawings. I suppose you could say I was seeking to alter the palette of my visual landscape. I also made the decision to designate my live/work space as more of a private studio. However strong this craving for privacy and solitude while working, when a piece is complete, there's an undeniable itch to show it. I'd been working on a series of small, brightly colored grid-based works which incorporate the names of places on the Avenue, and also some larger, very blocky abstract cityscapes in warm colors. For Free Radical this year, I was presented with the perfect opportunity to exhibit in the windows of the refurbished storefront at 121 S. Division, across the street from my studio. I have to say it's a rather odd, but pleasant, experience to look out one's window and see your artwork in the building across the way.
The present owner, Performance Directions Inc., was exceptionally nice to work with and even conveyed to me some of the building's history and intended future. Restored to original condition in the summer of 2010, the original building front had been covered by a brown facade, which was added in the 1960's for a more modern look. As the neighborhood lost businesses the new front was boarded up and the building left unused. He and his wife bought the building in 1990 and used the loft apartment on the upper floors as a living space for themselves and for their children when they were attending college. The building has been restored with its original wood floors, tin ceiling, and loft apartment. They plan to open an art gallery on the Division level and artist workshop on the Commerce level. The gallery is planned to open in the summer of 2013.
The window exhibition"Urban Abstraction" can be viewed during the second night of Free Radical (see info above on the right) and will also be on display beyond the event for daytime and evening, casual or intentional viewing.


Hey gang! I am alive and well, maybe just the "alive" part depending on the day! No, seriously, things are fine, I am just super duper busy. I have Club #1 tonight, a home workshop scheduled for Saturday, and my Christmas Jingle Class on Sunday afternoon. I have lots to do to finish the "final touches" on the weekend classes……but they will all come together soon. I wasn't home most of the weekend, and then spent all day yesterday cleaning and decorating for fall. Open House at the High School was last night — tried to juggle 2 class schedules for my girls — and then came home to set up for my Club. I am also starting to sub a few days here and there, and that is the case for 2 days this week. I am trying to juggle my many "hats"…..whew! I will get you a new post for tomorrow and show you the Club projects that we have done this month.
Most importantly, I need to know if you want to come on Sunday to my Christmas Jingle Class. It is a fun, easy, stress-free type of class………super casual and I will provide yummy snacks. I have purchased enough supplies for 10 ladies and I am not full!!! Please let me know if you want to come. If you have a friend who does NOT stamp, this is the perfect class to introduce them to Stampin' Up! and they will have 10 Christmas cards when they leave! Gotta love it!
Please CLICK HERE for all the details, but I would love to have you……..I have enough supplies on hand for more ladies, so don't delay…….RSVP right now!
Thanks! Have a super day……..and enjoy your week. I am hoping that my "fall decorations" will bring the fall temperatures rolling in……..


Each type of goods has different characteristics, so there will be different packaging methods.
The characteristics of these goods are easy to unload, perishable when subjected to physical impacts during transport (impact, compression, etc.). These impacts are unavoidable, so the packaging of goods in this group needs a special way to ensure the safety of the goods.

The Lisbon Treaty and the Future of Europe
by David C. Grabbe
Forerunner, "WorldWatch," November-December 2009
Is France Ditching the EU?
Once Again, Britain Dominates Europe
The Dream of a United States of Europe
A Strengthening Germany
A Battle Group for Eastern Europe
Franco-German Divergence
The European Financial Crisis
On November 3, 2009, after Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus put his signature to the Lisbon Treaty, he remarked that "with the Lisbon Treaty taking effect, the Czech Republic will cease to be a sovereign state. . . ." A month earlier, he had stated "I have always considered this treaty a step in the wrong direction. It will deepen the problems the EU is facing today, it will increase its democratic deficit, worsen the standing of our country and expose it to new risks." The Czech Republic was the last of the 27 member states of the European Union to ratify the treaty that on December 1, 2009, turned the EU into an officially federalized state to which its member nations are subservient.
The Lisbon Treaty is one of a series of treaties that have gradually lashed Europe together via economic interests: the Treaties of Paris (1951), Rome (1957), and Maastricht (1992). The Lisbon Treaty is really only a repackaged European Constitution (begun in 2001), which was voted down every time it was put before the people (2005). By turning it into a treaty—which only the governments would be allowed to vote on—Europe's leaders were able to push through a decision-making structure that attempts to turn the EU's disjointed political reality into a coherent whole. It takes the EU beyond a glorified free-trade zone and defines a government, laying out authority for unified foreign and defense policies, as well as other facets of a fully-functioning regime.
Currently, individual European states wield little influence on the world stage. Since shortly after World War II, the leaders of Europe—predominantly France—have been working to get the states to act in concert economically to the benefit of all. Even with a monetary union, though, the EU has been hobbled by the lack of a single voice for the Union to hear, and another for the world to hear. To be truly effective, the European states need to be able to act with the economic, geopolitical, and demographic weight of a continent—which requires far closer coordination of European and foreign policies.
To this end, the Treaty spelled out two positions that would have the authority to speak for the whole EU. Its leaders elected Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy to the post of President of the European Council, essentially making him the president of Europe and the voice that the European polity will hear. European Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton of Britain was likewise elected to the foreign minister post, known officially as the "High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy." She is the new voice of the EU to the world.
A federalized EU is viable only when dominated by a Franco-German consensus; if France and Germany are ever fundamentally and critically at odds, the EU will tear itself apart. The two nations lobbied behind the scenes to persuade the other states to elect figures that they believe they can influence. Van Rompuy, as Prime Minister of Belgium, has presided over a tiny state that is deeply fractured politically and culturally. Because Belgium's condition essentially precludes a coherent national vision or direction, Van Rompuy has no national interests to defend—Belgium stands and falls according to the viability of the EU.
Ashton, on the other hand, may not so easily cast aside the national interests of her home country—one of which, incidentally, is to keep from arising a continental power that could threaten Britain's shores. Regarding the choice of Ashton, an analyst wrote in Stratfor's November 20, 2009, Geopolitical Diary, "EU Leaders Name New President and Foreign Minister":
This is quite a bet. It also goes to the very heart of the EU as a supranational project. It brings into focus one of the fundamental questions of geopolitics: whether one can truly discipline oneself to transcend the love of one's own. The answer to that question pertains not only to how Ashton and Van Rompuy will perform as Europe's foreign minister and president, but also to the future existence of the EU.
Yet, it is far from a foregone conclusion that the Lisbon Treaty will bring about a united Europe; many obstacles lie ahead. An agreement among the European elite does not make a superpower; 500 million citizens were conspicuously not consulted on the arrangement. European history is rife with examples of the people rising up to oust unpopular governments.
The current economic crisis in Europe has demonstrated that when push comes to shove, the individual nations will revert to looking out for their own first, while continental unity comes second. In 2010, it is expected that almost every EU member will exceed the allowed budget deficits, and the Union has no political will to do anything about it. In other words, for the sake of national interest the agreed-upon rules are already being ignored.
Nor is this the first attempt at uniting Europe—Charlemagne, Napoleon, and Hitler all likewise tried, and the continental psyche still bears those scars. The fact that the present attempt is with "soft power" rather than force of arms makes no difference. Europe is inherently divided by a geography that has always allowed various political entities to survive and resist amalgamation. Soft power is only possible while times are good; if a real crisis hits, such agreements will dissolve.
As stated previously, the EU depends upon French and German amity, yet as Stratfor notes:
There are plenty of obstacles to such cooperation, particularly economic interests. The French hope to continue to use the EU as a financial scheme from which to fund their enormous agricultural subsidies, while the export-oriented Germans frown on the deficit-fueled domestic consumption of which France, Italy and other European countries are so fond." ("The Lisbon Treaty's Geopolitical Context," November 4, 2009)
On the other hand, when France and Germany do get along, the smaller countries are perpetually suspicious of a Franco-German axis that can run roughshod over the rest of the continent.
Rhetoric aside, the Lisbon Treaty does not automatically unite Europe. It is an agreement that the leaders have finally hammered out but has yet to be tested.

Home Law Salesforce to provide RNC records to Jan. 6 panel unless court steps in
Salesforce to provide RNC records to Jan. 6 panel unless court steps in
The party sued the select committee last week, revealing that the panel had subpoenaed Salesforce in February and contending that the scope of the subpoena was so broad that it amounted to an illegitimate incursion on political rivals. The select committee dismissed that notion, emphasizing that it is pursuing evidence that the RNC's post-election email deluge in 2020 — often coordinated with the Trump campaign —helped spur distrust in the results and contributed to the atmosphere that preceded the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The RNC indicated in its new filing that Salesforce had initially planned to withhold documents from the select committee while the lawsuit was pending. But the company changed course.
"Late in the afternoon on March 10, 2022, Salesforce's counsel informed the RNC that after discussions with staff for the Select Committee … Salesforce indicated that it would not be able to withhold production during the pendency of this matter," RNC attorneys wrote.
"Salesforce's counsel represented to the RNC that absent a pending motion for emergency relief from this court, Salesforce would begin to produce documents to the Select Committee in compliance with the Salesforce Subpoena on Wednesday, March 16, 2022."
The RNC has added Salesforce as a defendant in the lawsuit "in order to ensure it can obtain effective and complete emergency relief until this dispute is finally resolved on the merits," the party's attorneys write. "Although the RNC has named Salesforce as a defendant in this action, the RNC does not believe that Salesforce has breached any contractual or other duty to the RNC."
The push by the select committee for the RNC's data represents an aggressive effort by the panel to determine whether Trump allies used the official party apparatus to stoke false claims about election fraud and drive up attendance at his rally on Jan. 6, which bled into the mob attack on the Capitol.
The select committee's subpoena to Salesforce, posted publicly by the RNC on Tuesday, calls for "all performance metrics and analytics related to email campaigns by or on behalf of Donald Trump for President, Inc., The Republican National Committee, or the Trump Make America Great Against Committee" for the period between Nov. 3, 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021."
The subpoena also seeks records related to "login sessions by individuals associated with the Trump campaign or the RNC into Salesforce's Marketing Cloud platform, including all related metadata."
The committee is also asking for Salesforce's internal analyses related to the pro-Trump protests on Jan. 5 and 6.
In the injunction motion filed on Tuesday evening, the RNC argued that the documents in question could expose records related to "tens of millions of RNC supporters, donors, and other partners with whom the RNC communicates."
"They also include materials that would reveal crucial elements of the RNC's internal deliberations and digital strategy such as metrics on how certain content performs, what subject lines and text messages lead to contributions, how certain individuals respond to specific content, and the results of message testing," the party argued in its motion.
The RNC noted that much of its post-election effort focused on retaining Senate seats in Georgia in a pair of runoff elections.
In its motion for an injunction the party contended that the Justice Department — not Congress — should be the only entity investigating an attack on the Capitol that disrupted congressional functions and threatened the transfer of presidential power.
"While the governmental interest in investigation regarding the events of January 6th by the proper authorities is clearly substantial, under the Constitution, it is law enforcement and the Executive Branch that must pursue such an investigation, not Congress and the Select Committee," the RNC argued.

Guided tours may be canceled when heads of state are speaking and tend not to take place in Sept and Oct when the General Assembly is in session
It's this seven-block stretch of international territory that makes New York City the capital of the world. No, really. It's become fashionable of late in some political circles to denigrate the U.N. Though some reform is obviously necessary, a tour here will remind you of just how much the United Nations has done since its inception. It was founded, after all, with the express purpose of ensuring that there would never be another world war, and it has accomplished that, no small task. Perhaps more importantly, a visit here will remind you of how much potential the U.N. still has for effecting meaningful progress in numerous fields, from the elimination of disease and poverty to the resolution of ethnic conflicts.
Those who take the hour-long tour will visit not only the General Assembly (where Khrushchev once famously pounded his shoe in anger) and the Security Council, but the less well-known Economic and Social Council Room that oversees the work of UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), and 28 other U.N. programs of development. (Little-known fact: It's thanks to recommendations by the WHO that most countries have expiration dates stamped on milk.) It's in this room that officials are working to create standardized tests for avian flu, vaccinate the world's children against polio, and promote the cause of world literacy. The Nobel Peace Prize won by the U.N. Peacekeeping forces in 2001 is displayed just outside the council room, along with an enlightening exhibit on the important work these troops are still doing throughout the world.
Along with the interior rooms, visitors view the lobby of the General Assembly building, with its free, changing exhibits (photojournalism mostly), meditation room, and the memorial stained-glass window Marc Chagall created for former Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld in 1964 (to the right of the entrance). An international gift shop with trinkets from across the globe and the U.N. post office are in the basement.
Important note: Due to increased security measures, the U.N. no longer allows on-the-spot ticket purchases for the tour. Only those who have purchased a ticket in advance online will be admitted into the building Mondays through Fridays (on the weekends, visitors can see the visitor center without a ticket but there are no longer tours on weekends). Many days sell out entirely, so buy your tickets as far in advance as possible.

MASSAPEQUA - Police say a waitress at a New York IHOP pulled a steak knife on a Long Island family after an argument over poor service.
The mother of the family says they were shaken up after she, her husband and their two special needs kids were surrounded by the pancake restaurant's wait staff after complaining about poor service. No one was injured.
WNBC-TV reports the Massapequa IHOP says they're not supposed to discuss the matter with media. A statement released by the franchise owner, Camile Gnolfo, says the business is cooperating with a police investigation.
Authorities say the waitress who pulled the knife on Friday morning was arrested on a charge of menacing, and is due in court later this month.

Is that an Ed Ruscha in 50 Shades of Grey?
US pop pioneer's Brother Sister appears in the film alongside other works by contemporary artists
A screengrab from the new 50 Shades of Grey trailer, which appears to feature an Ed Ruscha painting in the background
What sort of art does a 27-year-old Seattle billionaire and S&M enthusiast like? According to the new 50 Shades of Grey movie, it's Ed Ruscha. A work by the American pop artist appears at around the 25 second point in the trailer for the film adaptation. You can see what appears to be a Ruscha painting of two 17th-century style tall ships, listing on the ocean scene, on the wall of Christian Grey's office when Anastasia Steele first meets the 27-year-old businessman.
Brother, Sister (1987) by Ed Ruscha
Ruscha produced a series of these works during the late 1980s, airbrushing the sailing vessels in shady, monochromatic style befitting the film's title. Which painting is it, exactly? Well, the LA Times Christopher Knight believes the work in question could be Brother, Sister (1987), or at least a movie-prop version of it. If so, its a fitting choice for a rich entrepreneur; that particular piece forms part of the Swiss bank UBS's contemporary art collection, while another work in Ruscha's tall ship series sold for $1,777,000 at Christie's in New York in 2007.
The canvas caught on camera is most likely a real Ruscha. As this recent Vanity Fair article reveals, the director and erstwhile Young British Artist Sam Taylor-Johnson personally assembled the fictional billionaire's art collection for the film, pulling in works by Ruscha, alongside pieces by John Baldessari, Harland Miller, and Jake and Dinos Chapman. Production designer David Wasco explains in the same piece, "the quality of Christian's art collection was very important to Sam, as it had to reflect his status, his connoisseurship, and his youth."
So, if you needed an excuse to catch this film adaptation of the internationally successful bonkbuster, opening this Valentine's Day weekend, you could conceivably say "I'm going for the art" (and maybe people will believe you). But to learn more about Ruscha and his place within 20th century art, you should consider our authoritative monograph. Finally, if you're considering dipping your toes into the world of art collecting, you should start by picking up a copy of Collecting Art for Love, Money and More.

Home » Affilorama forum » Affiliate Hangout » Help Wanted: Backlinking!
However when I started filling in the website I noticed I didn't start appearing in the search engines. So I kept on improving the content etc with new ideas I came across ( Which I also thank Mark for ) . But I am generating an issue which is really holding me back.
That's when we come to the backlinking part, I've watched video after video and they all show that creating backlinks is important. So I thought I'd try out a few things, I tried VoltRanker, which I had running but took down, since it only gave me links and not links to me. I also made two backlinks myself by hand, which I find is the way for me to go.
One is a submit your site, which got approved and also a post on a SWTOR blog. But those two also active at the time never gave me a backlink, which I checked by using TrafficTravis, SEOspyglass and Google Webmaster.
So my question is: Am I doing something wrong? Is it the url that I am posting? Am I making the mistakes?
Creating backlinks is a process. Your efforts will NOT show up immediately. In many cases the links created may take several months before the links are officially recognized by the search engines.
Continue to build links as you have. They will be discovered over time. I recommend you work on being consistent adding a few links everyday.
Anyone got any tips to easier find websites I can post backlinks on? As I mostly spent hours searching the web for one backlink and it feels to me that my time isn't getting me the results I hear everyone speak about they do it rather easy.
There are many tools that you can utilize to find forums and blogs suitable for posting comments creating relevant backlinks. Traffic Travis is an excellent tool. Also Backlink Profit Monster helps simplify the process of locating suitable blogs for commenting.
Traffic Travis allows you to spy on the backlinks of your competitors. TT will allow you to locate the backlinks of your competitors. By using TT with Firefox along with SEO Quake you can find the blogs used by your competitors.
Matt Carter has developed several products that teach backlink creation. His latest product service is SEO Experts Academy. An older program but still quite current is Backlink Blueprint. These programs have step-by-step instruction in backlink development procedures.
Backlinking is always a main topic on any forum. With Traffic Travis you will be able to analyis your competitor websites and the protential number of back links you will need to our rank them.
Of course there is more to it than that, what with quality of backlinks, on-page SEO, etc.
Also when you create backlinks, google needs to find them to index them, otherwise they are not of any use.
Once you have created a back link, then you should ping the page it is on, using a tool such as http://www.pingler.com.
There is a free lite version.
Once you are getting results and creating a return then reinvest as Mark says. Certainly some form of automation for you backlinking would help, as manual submission is hard.
Hi, what sort of backlinking strategies are you using at the moment aside from Voltranker and the two you did manually? I assume you are using free methods taught by Affilorama?
I like to start off each new site I do with a blast of bookmarks for all the pages. Then I write original articles to submit to top article directories promoting each page for specific keywords. Once those are approved then I rewrite the articles and create spin versions to submit to other directories and bookmark the approved articles.
After that I'll all use the spun articles to submit to blog networks as well. All of these methods usually have RSS feeds which I also submit to speed up the indexing of my links. I hardly ever do comments or forum posting because they have temporary effect and are low quality. I sometimes just add them for variety but bookmark links serve similar purpose as well.
Definitely there are some free tools around that help you speed up the process but first you need to do a bit of planning so you're not randomly putting links hoping to get the desired result.
Thanks for all the tips I am getting!
Joshua, to answer your question, I am looking into all the ways possible to help me with the backlinking. But the thing is for me personally, that I get distracted with new things quite easily. I always check out the video's we get in the mail, which I study and learn things from.
So i've completed the landing page imo, and am starting on the more content/more choice for the customer.
Sorry for all the questions, just want to know if I am on the right track :) !
Personally, I would also concentrating on filling out the site more with a bit more original content. Also, I would do some keyword research and plan out the site structure a bit so that the categories are related to the keywords you are targeting.
Another thing I would do is to put in an autoresponder to collect email addresses. That way you can keep in touch with the people that come to your site. Write up a simple guide that you can offer as a freebie for signing up. The guide could be something like a quick start guide or a best tips guide, etc. If you're into the game you're promoting then I'm sure there's a thing or two you could offer that would be helpful.
In the autoresponder I'd set up a sequence of at least 7 emails that would be a mix of additional information and promotion.
Those two would be my top priority because even if I get the traffic and all people see is a low quality site then it would have been a waste of my effort because people neither click on my links and I have no way of having a 'second chance' if my autoresponder is set up.
Hey Mark, thanks for your comment although i've already experienced that. But to answer your question, I actually fiddeled around a bit and found out that you can (With some themes) Insert your own background. Then you can choose how to show that, as in one fixed picture, that's what I have. That way you'll be able to pimp your site a bit and make it feel in my opinion a bit more "proffessional", I hope that helps you out bro.
Driving traffic to your site and building backlinks are the most challenging tasks when it comes to getting a site going. But they are essential to getting those conversions and ranking for your keywords. Joshua gave you some really great tips like doing keyword research and mapping out what your target keywords are and then writing articles that optimize these keywords. Building a subscriber list early on will help a lot in the long run because having a list allows you to promote your products to a group of people already interested in the product.
Hope that helps. Have a great day!
Thank you for the tips, but is my plan on how to get the website rolling correct?
Also, how long should it take to set up a website, i've been working on this one for like a month. Also my plan is to specifically for this site to start up on the classes in SWTOR, explaining them a bit and how their similiar. Then I will write an article about it to post on a blog and then link it back to my site for further information.
That a solid plan or?
Guest posting on blogs is a great way to build traffic. your plan, although very general sounds decent. I generally recommend 10-15 articles on your site before you start promoting, then get out and start building links to each article.
Another thing is to use Traffic Travis, and look at the competition Tab under SEO, use the AVG Backlinks to find out the average number of backlinks that you need for each keyword, and focus on one page at a time for building links. The more focused you are, the faster your results will be.
Generally, I recommend starting your backlinking with money pages first. this would be high crisis keywords and product reviews. these pages will be the highest converting pages that you have, so focus on getting links to them first.Then do the rest of your articles.
With SEO traffic, I often find that sites with less than 40 articles are not ranking as well. Since the Panda update last year, they are looking for more authority sites to rank highly, so you need a lot of content. However, through engaging your niche on blogs and social media, you can get a lot of traffic while you wait for search engines to trust your new site.
It can take a while to learn how to build your first site. Some people pick it up quickly, but many people struggle through. However, once the first few are done, you will find that it becomes easier. I just spent 2 days setting up a new site, and most of that time was actually spent setting up my sales funnel, because it is a membership type site, not an affiliate site. A site like this would have taken me a month or more to do when I first started, but now I can do it in a couple of days.

Call me a bit silly, but I've not heard of that one before to be honest, does that mean I need to create the backlinks with my keyword as anchor text then? Otherwise care to explain that a bit?
Also, I've chosen to promote the game itself on the website in the new content I am making. Therefore I might be able to rake in some extra cash if I get people interested in playing SWTOR itself : D . Although that's not my main focus, since I just thought of that when I was making the content to make a little link in there to perhaps make some extra sales.
Although I had the website itself running in a day, exactly how I wanted, the content I find the hardest part. That's slowing me down quite a bit, but I've started to team up with a friend. So he'll write articles for me, and I'll hand him cash when I can for it. So that should speed things up : D .
Yes, to gain relevance and eventually rank for your target keywords, you need to use your target keywords as anchor text and refer/link back to the related page on your site.
That's a pretty good agreement. Getting content out on your site is one of the more difficult tasks in putting up a site. Try looking at other sites in the same niche to get inspiration or you can read printed materials on the subject and write your own opinion or take on the subject.

Got the Munchies? Food Brands Are Taking 4/20 Celebrations to the Next Level
Laura Stampler
Fortune April 20, 2019
It's April 20th—better known by cannabis enthusiasts as 4/20—and various food brands are finding new ways to celebrate the national marijuana holiday with hungrier-than-usual customers.
Corporations have been cashing in on the holiday for years, with punny tweets and promotions about the munchies. Now they're riding a tailwind of popularity, with the ongoing green wave of state marijuana legalization and President Donald Trump in December signing the Farm Bill, which contains a provision permitting the use of cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-psychoactive chemical compound from the cannabis plant thought to have health benefits.
Here's a sampling of businesses embracing the 4/20 wave.
"Having fun was our first goal, celebrating with our fans on the 4/20 holiday, and being able to deliver a values component to the local community affected really makes this meaningful to Ben & Jerry's," Justin Gural, the Vermont-based ice cream company's marketing manager, tells Fortune.
Ben & Jerry's is again using weed wordplay for social action. In a co-branded partnership with San Francisco-based marijuana dispensary Caliva, a "blunt" message is being broadcast by each company on Twitter and in their blogs about the racial disparity of who gets incarcerated for marijuana-related crimes.
"Even though black people and white people use pot at similar rates, black people are still arrested way more often than whites," Ben & Jerry's blogged, announcing that it's calling on Congress for criminal justice reform, and asking followers to join the campaign.
The ice cream maker is also giving a free pint of Half Baked ice cream today in California for those who get a delivery from Caliva. Additionally, Caliva is donating 4.2% of sales to Clear My Record, an initiative from Code For America seeking to clear cannabis convictions in the state. From "celebration to expungement," Gural said of Ben & Jerry's expanding 4/20 focus.
Carl's Jr.
The fast food chain has stepped up its 4/20 game in a different way: Launching a new product at a location in Denver, Colo. For one day only, customers can buy a CBD-infused burger called Rocky Mountain High: CheeseBurger Delight. (In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.)
As Patty Trevino, senior vice president of brand marketing for Carl's Jr., told CNN, the "future Carl's Jr. customers that are younger…are more open to different flavors of products."
Other corporations are betting the non-psychoactive hemp derivative is appealing to all demographics. With 7% of Americans already using it, a recent study by Cowen & Co. found the CBD market could hit $15 billion by 2025. In the last month, CVS Pharmacy announced it's selling CBD products in 800 stores located in eight states, Walgreens has plans to sell sprays, creams, and patches made of the cannabis compound in 1,500 stores across nine states.
For a week, the Mexican chain Dos Toros has been hyping 4/20 to its burrito-loving consumers, using munchies' memes, comedy sketches, and previews of its promotional deal: Customers who say "half baked" when ordering will get the restaurant's recently launched nachos for $4.20.
"Every year, we also pass out branded Dos Toros lighters to the first 100 guests at every location who participate in the deal. It's so great to see that people save their lighters and share them on social media," a Dos Toros spokesperson tells Fortune. "The brand has been participating with fun activations for the holiday for years… One of the benefits of being a smaller brand is being more nimble and playful."
The late-night cookie shop is giving a free cookie to anyone who comes into the store throughout the day—no purchase necessary.
"With our college student demographics, sweet dessert offerings and 3 a.m. late-night delivery options, it's only natural that we embrace whatever trends and holidays that might align with those offerings," a spokesperson for Insomnia Cookies tells Fortune.
Wingstop is sponsoring the 4/20 festival at San Francisco's Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park—giving all revelers free Lemon Pepper and Spicy Korean Q wings. On Facebook, Hulu, and Twitter, the company's also bringing back its Effie Award-winning ads featuring cartoon characters Lil' Ranchy and friends going to the restaurant to curb their munchies.
"Last year Lemon Pepper was the most popular flavor for 4/20 fans," a spokesperson tells Fortune. "For the past four years, Wingstop has positioned its flavor as the perfect solution to satisfying the cravings that come with celebrating 4/20. This day resonates with fans worldwide and we aren't afraid to embrace our product's relevance in culture!"
Here's how other brands are celebrating on Twitter (and in store-wide promotions):

Wicked Stitcher: Jo's Big Birthday Blog Hop!
Jo's Big Birthday Blog Hop!
Hi there cloud friends! I have agreed to participate in Jo's Big birthday blog hop. We were each given a year in Jo's life. My year is 2000!!!! First, I never stay up until mid-night on New Year's, that year I did because I was concerned about all the hipe! Well, as you all know nothing happened! So off to a good year. I was living in Louisville , KY. Several years earlier I had gotten my Master's in Gifted Ed. My dream had been to work with gifted elementary school students. I was teaching at Kentucky Country Day School. This was one of my favorite teaching positions. I taught all the children K-4 a program called enrichment. I was also able to work with the highly capable students. Just to give you an example, I had a first grade student who was reading at the 9th grade level. It was a wonderful challenging position! In fact I stayed at this job until I retired and moved to Washington. My only other big memory of that year occurred at the end of the year, the infamous 2000 election between Bush and Gore. It took weeks to determine the President!!
Jo also asked us to post a photo of a stitched piece we thought she would like. Jo and I share a love of Halloween so that's what I chose!
Here you have Three Gables by the Cricket collection. This piece taught me the fine art of frogging!!Do you see the whole top floor? Well this piece taught me a very valuable lesson in stitching. NEVER ASSUME A PIECE IS SYMMETRICAL! Yes, I got to the top and it would not go to a point, had to frog the whole top floor!!!! That took a week if I remember correctly. I do love the way it was framed . What you see is the matt in that great shape. It had just a simple black frame. By the way, this stays up all year in my craft room.
Well, Jo, I hope this covers the year 2000 for you. Have a great day and many happy returns!!!!
Great post Barb,I love your chosen piece.
Thanks for taking part in the Birthday Blog Hop. Your job sounds great. I would love to work with gifted children from disadvantaged backgrounds to inspire them to reach for the heights!
I love your Hallowe'en House but I'm sorry it was home to the frog! It was worth persevering with.
Love the house - so sorry the frog thought it was for him.
You have more patience than I could have mustered to frog that whole thing! Looks great!!
I get the shivers thinking of frogging that much!!! Wow! What a neat career you had!!
Great post! I remember the new year of 1999/2000 - everyone was convinced that the Y2K bug was going to create so much havoc!
Love your design... all that frogging though - oh my goodness!
Barb: What a fun post, I love Halloween anything Halloween.
I hate frogging it has happened to me to many times now so I do not have to frog, guess what even counting three time sometimes does not help, oh gosh I must be getting old or something.
I'm hopping by on the blog hop. What a great post. Thanks for sharing. I love your Halloween piece.
Barb: Only part of my comment was posted, I wanted to thank-you for being a Teacher, I am sure it is not an easy job, I am so happy you enjoyed your job.
It was nice to find out a little more about you, Barb. Your teaching position sounds interesting - I think that would be my favorite age range to work with. I'm sorry you had such a tough time (glad you persevered)with Three Gables - it's a cute piece!
So lovely to read your story of the year 2000, Barb. And the Haunted House looks so gorgeous. But that the frog was visiting when you were stitching it was not very nice. I have it in my stash for years but haven't started it yet.
Nice to learn more about you and Jo. Love that finish too, worth the time to fix it.
I am slowly hopping through the birthday blog posts. I enjoyed reading your great post. This is such a nice thing to be involved in.

Easy Reader: CA Supreme Court rejects Manhattan Beach Short-Term Rental ban (7/28/2022)
"The City of Manhattan Beach's long legal fight to uphold its ban on short-term rentals in neighborhoods near the beach was dealt a third and final blow last month when the California Supreme Court declined to take up the case."
"Angel said Manhattan Beach had badly overreached, in blatant disregard for state law intended to encourage broad public access to the coast. He was sharply critical of City Attorney Quinn Barrow. He noted that the court took only two weeks after filings from both sides were completed to issue its rejection."

Grand Side, Antalya-Side
Hotel Grand Side
Antalya-Side, Turkey -
Hotel Grand Side is intended for more individualistic tourists on the lookout for a cool and quiet place. The all-inclusive option will not stop them, however, from diving into the huge shopping centre that is the town of Side.
Grand Side - © EASYVOYAGE
Location 10.0 /10
Hotel Grand Side is located on Antalya's East coast, in the village of Kumköy, 3 mi from Side's centre. Allow an hour and a half to reach the airport, 40 mi from the hotel. Driving to the hotel is no easy task when you know that there is a jungle of hotels in the area and that they are not clearly indicated either.
Despite the decoration being in-keeping with the theme of the hotel (faded blue carpets and bed covers), the rooms remain a little dull with their wooden furniture and beige walls. Therefore, favour those with a view of the sea. Their size is reasonable (237 sq ft), as are their amenities (central air-conditioning, a TV, a (payable) safe, a telephone, a mini-bar). The beds are separate and it is possible for four people to sleep in one room (request a room with bunk beds). The bathrooms are ordinary and include a bathtub, a hair-dryer and some hospitality products (plus a telephone). If you come as a family, you will be accommodated on the ground floor with a terrace garden, which allows the children to have direct access to the swimming pools and the beach. We wish, however, that the layout were more practical - the four separate beds are all cramped in to the same place, with one bathroom only.
This hotel first appears as a large block of concrete, painted a dark-sand colour and stuck at the end of an alley. Open in 1989 and renovated seven years later, the four-storey building is in an L shape. The effort made on the interior design improves the hotel as a whole, with its discreet but apt 'nautical' theme. In the entrance hall, visitors tread upon a compass rose, before walking on a carpet scattered with anchors on the upper floors. Various framed rope knots brighten up the walls of the slightly too dark corridors. The waiters are not forgotten, with their white and blue striped sailors' tops. As far as the communal areas are concerned (the bar and the lobby's reading area), dark parquet and some simple but chic leather armchairs complement the cosy atmosphere of the Grand Side. Something to take into account; other than the large gym, there is a beautiful marble Turkish bath and a swimming pool, which is heated in the winter, as well as four pretty massage booths which give directly on to the garden.
The hotel has two à la carte restaurants as well as a main restaurant in which the meals, varied and fresh, are presented on buffets in the shape of boats. It is very pleasant to take your meals on the terrace, as it has an unobstructed view of the shaded garden and the sea in the background. The cuisine is typical in the sense that it consists of local dishes prepared with an international touch. Why not try the beach bar (well shaded under palm trees) where, although the service is a little slow, the fresh and grilled fish is a delight for the palate.
Beach 8.20 /10
You can be on the beach within less than five minutes (at the pace of a stroll, and following a gentle slope from your room), where you can sunbathe on some very fine sand. You will find all the necessary equipment (deck chairs and tables protected from the sun by long blue awnings; showers and a beach bar a mere stone's throw away). The atmosphere is also very relaxed. Only the nearby hotels, on either side of the Grand Side, and their music played on loudspeakers, risk disrupting the prevailing peace and quiet.
Open from April to November, the Grand Side attracts many European guests, most of whom (approximately 80%) are German. Whether it's thirtysomethings on their summer holiday (usually families) or (pre)retired people in the low season, all of them hope to spend a relaxing holiday, without it being boring of course. Dance floor lovers will have to leave the hotel in order to find a night club, the nearest one is about 1,640 ft away. If you enjoy a gentle breaststroke, don't worry, the swimming pool with slides is isolated from the main swimming pool.

Asteria Side
This international-class hotel benefits from a privileged location on the heights of Side. Ideal for restful seaside holidays, it is not recommended for families with children.
A small convivial structure, the Corolla hotel offers lively holidays in a nice setting. However, it is far away from the beach and it has poor sports facilities.
AliBey & AliBey Park
This beautiful hotel, like something out of the Arabian Nights, will satisfy all your desires. An impeccable service, a top activities team and a setting on 18 hectares will charm you.
Turtel Side
Location 10.0
Built in the 1970s, this holiday village will suit all those seeking the seaside pleasures of the beach in a preserved environment. The entertainment, which is provided by an international team, is also available.
Vera Club Lindita
People go to Vera Club Lindita more for its beach and family orientated atmosphere than for the charm of its surroundings or for its facilities. The hotel is modern and offers an all-inclusive package.
Papillon Muna
In the town of Side, the small entrance to the Papillon Muna hotel is hardly noticeable, amidst a number of little shops and restaurants.
Arinna
The Arinna hotel is starting to show its age. Overall, the establishment is quite simple but it does have its regular guests.
Voyage Sorgun
Built in 1989 and renovated in 2008, this upscale hotel stands on a 21.5 acre estate and offers 'ultra-all-inclusive' accommodation. The aim here is to meet all of the guests' expectations and to adapt to every type of stay they may wish for. There really is something for everyone, including several facilities reserved for children, who are actually not allowed in some others in order to preserve the adult clientele's tranquillity. Sports and gastronomy enthusiasts will also enjoy this luxury establishment, located at the heart of nature.
Top Hotels Antalya-Side
Turquoise Resort and Spa
The Turquoise Resort Hotel is the ideal holiday destination for families who wish to benefit from a comprehensive package designed with children in mind. Its position in the pine forest of Sorgun makes it a luxury complex that will also satisfy adults in terms of relaxation and well-being.
The Cennet hotel is a pleasant hotel even though it has limited facilities. It shares a beach with the neighbouring Acanthus. A hotel offering basic comfort, ideal for calmness and rest.
The Club Grand Aqua, as its name suggests, is noteworthy for its water-based facilities, which really are as original as they are enjoyable. The hotel itself stands on a 6,9 acre site on the seafront and consists of six buildings made up of small ochre-coloured villas, all right at the water's edge. You might even be lucky enough to have one of the rooms where you can dive straight into the swimming pool from your terrace, and as if that weren't enough, guests at the Grand Aqua also have free access to the huge water park and swimming pools of the neighbouring Grand Side club. Families will absolutely love it here!

Vanish a yellow silk from a wand- it reappears tied between two silks!
Vanish a yellow silk from a wand and make it reappear tied between two red silks!
Plays really big! Easy to do and gets a great reaction!!
If you are a fan of ACROBATIC SILKS and 20TH CENTURY SILKS, then this one is for you!
You start with two red silks and a yellow silk.
Each silk is fastened to your Magic Wand.
The red silks are on either end of the wand, with the yellow silk in the middle.
Remove the yellow silk, and place it in your pocket (or hide it and vanish it in any way you'd like.
When you pull the two red silks off the wand, the yellow silk is now tied in between them!
This one is really easy to do. It comes with the silks, but you can use any silks of the same size, in case you'd like to incorporate specific colors in your routine!
See our complete selection of MAGIC WANDS!
You will need a method to vanish the yellow silk (though you can simply put it in your pocket).
A Change Bag is a good choice for vanishing the silk, with no skill necessary.
Handkerchiefs are silk and measure 18" diagonally.
Frank Ducrot introduced the concept of the 20th Century Silks trick in 1900.
The traveling silks on wand captures my audience attention! The kids watch as the yellow silk disappears in mid air then magically appears tied to the other two silks from the wand. Then I continue to amaze everyone by magically having the three silks turn into one multi-colored silk by having the knots disappear. And my added routine is to put this silk in my change bag and magically change it into three separate green,yellow & red silks.


As we've mentioned in the past, the "Martini with stuff in it" is a recurring theme in cocktails. That said, the Amber Dream is a fine example of the breed.
According to Dale DeGroff, the drink dates back to 1935, where it could be found in the BarKeeper's Golden Book, by O. Blunier. Some people mistakenly list this as an alternate name for the Bijou, but don't be fooled: that latter drink uses Green Chartreuse and sweet vermouth. This one uses yellow, and dry, and the proportions are significantly different.
Featuring a splash of herbal Chartreuse and a good deal more vermouth than most people take in their martinis these days, the Amber Dream is both sweet and smooth. I recommend it!
Anybody that uses Beefeater when Bombay Sapphire East is available has, quite literally, a drinking problem.
I have more than a dozen gins in my home bar (including both Sapphire and Beefeater). I like to vary it up. Beefeater's a perfectly serviceable traditional London Dry. Less peppery than Sapphire, and a little warmer. If you're going to get gin-snobby, though, my recommendation is Greenhook Ginsmiths. It's currently my favorite gin on the planet.
It's a mixed drink. I really wouldn't get worked up over which gin is used.
