Bright Side of Weed Legalization In Certain States
Mr Info replied to PolishDave's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Hoped you washed the chemical coating off before smoking them but be careful not to soak too long or you will start cold water extraction and lose some of the LSA. The best are Heavenly Blue or Pearly Gates. Anyway, it would be better to use ethanol extraction than cold water. Just search...it's out there. Actually, better to forego the MG seeds and use Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds. Remove any furry stuff on the outside of these seeds and also remove the outer shell. No active fun ingredients in there and will get rid of the trace cyanide present. That way you won't barf. You only need a dozen or so of these seeds compared to hundreds of the MG seeds. After removing fur, quick wash, and removal of the outer shell you can toss them down. If you enjoy being sciency then use the ethanol extraction. Happy sailing! -
Leger Douzable petitions Cuomo to get Uber in Buffalo
Mr Info replied to YoloinOhio's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I am surmising you're on old guy. If taxis are gone, then Uber & Lyft are competitors. If their prices rise too much, then another ride-sharing company comes in to compete. -
If those Ws come true and Pats win out or get 1 loss then this game gets flexed. In either Pats scenario, this game will be for division lead if Bills win next two.

According to ESPN, Clay ruled out Sunday as well.
Mr Info replied to Bubba Gump's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was early & Salas shares two letters in his name with Clay so maybe that explains it. -
Good cliffhamger ending for season 2...lots of questions. It appears that season 3 may not debut until fall 2017 although Malek said he already filmed a scene for next season.

Bills v Jets First Half Thread
Mr Info replied to TakeYouToTasker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The reply I saw he caught a cleat to the face -
The Bills have a real chance to win Sunday because...
Mr Info replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
...because Springsteen is playing Shout as part of his setlist in the 2016 tour. He played it the other night when we saw him & we sang along with Bills lyrics. It got us pumped up for Bills football! -
Not sure, some were canceled & some moved indoor. Bruce has been moved to Mon night but I was planning to be in the area Mon. It will just be a later return after the show to central VA
-
Should be ok Sun & Mon so you can catch Culture Club on Sun night at the AMF. Today's a washout and many other events are canceled but not Bruce at the Amphitheater.
-
Sun & Mon at VB should be ok now & I was not going dowm until Sat afternoon for Bruce show that night. Does updated forecast change your plans?
-
It would not be the beach where I would plan a vacation but it's the closest beach visit from the central VA area for a day trip. But we usually do not hang around the boardwalk. Croatan Beach is a bit more isolated and no hotels or retail. Thanks for the food recommendations. There are some restaurants in the area with great food. Cafe Europa in Portsmouth is outstanding. The owners have always been there whenever I go. The husband is the main chef and his wife makes the desserts. Amazing wine list as well. Kinda pricey but well worth it...and they are not rushing you to finish your meal.
-
Short trip to Va Beach for the weekend & a Boss show on Sat night. At VB, specifically go to Croatan Beach to surf & swim and avoid the boatdwalk.

Well, he called him a pedophile.

This & I will add goofy-looking complicated sandals. This has been confirmed by hot gals & women whose opinion I trust. I am not a slave to fashion but do not want to look like a dweeb. More power to you if you don't give a rat's ass how you appear. There appears to be positive correlation between age and lack of fashion...note the prevalance of sweatpants in the 60+ crowd. But they don't give a sh!t anymore & that's cool.

I can provide something that may be interesting based on some projects in which I am involved. In 2012, some creative researchers leveraged CRISPR-Cas9 to enable DNA/genome editing. This year, a US federal panel approved the first use of CRISPR in humans to genetically alter immune cells to attack three kinds of cancer. https://www.statnews.com/2016/06/21/crispr-human-trials/ CRISPR-Cas9 (think of crispr as the DNA scissors and cas9 as the protein that is being used to look for the matching target) can be used to modify genomes in plants, animals, and humans. Most everyone would support the use of genome editing for eliminating diseases in embryos causing blindness, cancer, Krabbe's disease, etc. In animals, Church, et al, at Harvard found a way to use CRISPR-Cas9 to remove the retrovirusus from pig organs to address the human organ shortage. Active research is being performed on using CRISPR-Cas9 to genetically modify plants to make disease resistant crops. If this is done properly, foreign DNA is not introduced (new gene-shuttling technique) and the hope is that it would avoid plant GMO classification. For instance, the popular banana cultivar Cavendish may be wiped out by a soil fungus and the only way to save it may be to edit this banana. In this letter dated 13 April 2016, the FDA has decided that it will not regulate a mushroom that has been gene-edited to prevent it from turning brown. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/downloads/reg_loi/15-321-01_air_response_signed.pdf Here is a general article from Nature 2015 pertaining to genome editing: http://www.nature.com/news/genome-editing-7-facts-about-a-revolutionary-technology-1.18869 As stated in the above article, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology "has made modifying DNA so cheap and easy that amateur biologists working in converted garages or community laboratories are starting to dabble." Not certain how accurate that is but govt sponsored programs certainly have the means ($ and resources) to dabble. However, this new technology will present ethical dilemmas. Will this venture from disease curing into genetic augmentation? How will this be regulated everywhere? And I am certain you can think of many others. This technology is different than the IT technology of the past 40 years. Will this new technology have a greater impact?

The Non Pet Peeve Thread..AKA Awesome Stuff

Ditto, Paul...so excited for him. I have only had a few meetings with him through my boys but good kid. -
October 11, 2009 Browns 6, Bills 3 Winning QB Derek Anderson 2-17 23 yds 9 false start penalties by the Bills I was at that debacle. It is the worst professional game I ever saw in person or on TV. It was bad play by both teams and there were not any comical plays that at least you could laugh at. Plus the weather was not bad: no rain, upper 40s, and occasional wind gusts.

Saw Dead & Company last night in Camden NJ

The show at Citi Field just started & Donna Jean is on stage with them. -
Saw Dead & Company last night in Camden NJ
Mr Info replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Saw them in Bristow VA last night. Mayer has injected some energy into the band & he was great. Fave last night was bluesy, rockin' Viola Lee Blues & JM kicked butt on it. Bobby sounds good & looks healthy, too. Imo, that arena (Nissan/Jiffy Lube) is by far the worst in all of rockdom for ingress/egress. Thought I would never return but coughed up for Premier Parking. But that was a joke as well. -

Mr Info replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Pooj - thanks for the review. Will be seeing them Thurs night at Jiffy Lube in Bristow VA and then Sat night at Citi Field after catching the Yankees-Twins game in the Bronx. Really looking forward to it now. -
K-A, I travel internationally quite a bit and got Global Entry a while back. Then decided to get it for my wife and kids. Was able to arrange the interview on the same day for all of them; back-to-back-to-back. It was a while back but I believe I was able to call the airport office to assist with scheduling. One of the best programs: 5 minutes through customs along with TSA-precheck on every domestic flight. Even if you only take a couple of international flights over the five years, the expense is well worth it in the time savings you will get through customs. My wife has been able to travel with me on business a couple of times and she was shocked and relieved at the time difference through customs. Not certain about every US international airport but at Dulles you also receive priority baggage check through TSA after you have gone through customs and picked up your checked baggage.
