Substrate fly infestation in marijuana crops is not one of the worst, but it can lead to many problems. If the necessary measures are not taken harvest can be seriously diminished, so we thought about creating this article to help locate and fight these small insects.
▶ What is the substrate Black Fly ?
It is a species of mosquito similar to the common one, but smaller in size. Adults are winged, black and can be seen with the naked eye. The larvae have a white body and black head and represent an even greater danger than the adults.
Its real name is Sciridae, but it is known by many different names, soil fly, mulch fly, mushroom fly, moisture fly and others.
👾 How can you locate a substrate fly infestation ?
The best way to locate this and other pests affecting cannabis is to place yellow sticky traps near the plants. These colored strips contain hormones that attract these insects and act as a monitor to detect pests as soon as possible.
If you have not set sticky traps you may see flies flying around the crop directly, as the signs they leave on the plants are not visible at an early stage.
At the name of Consulting we process the information you give us in order to provide the requested service, perform the billing of the same. The data provided will be kept as long as the business relationship is maintained or for the years necessary to comply with legal obligations. The data will not be transferred to third parties except in cases where there is a legal obligation. You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether SITE OF SHOPS ONLINE S.R.L. is processing your personal data and therefore you have the right to access your personal data, rectify inaccurate data or request its removal when the data is no longer necessary
📱 Why does soil fly infestation appear in cannabis crops ?
This pest develops in humid environments and likes heat and darkness, so it usually reproduces under the outer layer of the substrate. These conditions are favorable for the appearance of fungi, so it is not surprising that Sciridae is the same variety of fly that affects magic fungi crops. Females usually lay about 200 eggs each time, which take about 3 days to hatch.
The larval stage lasts 3 weeks, after this time they form the cocoons where they will perform their metamorphosis from larva to adult fly. They then come to the surface, where they can fly and feed on decomposing material from the base of the plants.
🎬 What damage does the substrate fly do to marijuana plants ?
This insect leaves no trace of bites on the leaves as is the case with other pests such as the Trip or the Red Spider. As we said before, the greatest damage to plants is caused during the larval phase in the root system. These larvae feed on the capillary roots, preventing them from performing their task properly and, what is worse, causing injuries that can lead to the entry of fungi and other diseases.
🧐 How can I remove the substrate fly ?
Try moisture control first, the pest may have arisen from keeping the soil moist for too long. Then you can put a layer of vermiculite or diatomaceous earth as a mulch, this bothers them quite a lot. After that, you have to water with some product that contains Bacillus Thuringiensis, they are the same bacteria that we use to prevent the caterpillar.
💻 Can you prevent the appearance of the soil fly ?
Of course you can do it, and it’s easy too. A quick way is to place a neem cake mould on the surface of the substrate. Neem oil sprays are also effective and, since it is a systemic insecticide, it will help us prevent the appearance of black flies and other cannabis pests.
Placing yellow and blue sticky traps helps to locate them and to keep them from spreading, and they are also useful to fight other pests, so it is highly recommended.
– The most common Fungi in Cannabis crops, how to prevent them
– Lack or excess calcium in the marijuana plant
– Excess or lack of potassium in marijuana
– How to make a washing roots and start over
Substrate fly is not a lethal pest, but it can cause many problems if we do not act quickly. At the slightest sign of their presence, we must take action. I hope that this article has helped you to get to know this little insect better, if so we thank you in advance if you share it.
In constant struggle for the regulation of cannabis, mainly in the medicinal field.

Selfies are an integral part of the lives of smartphone users nowadays, so it’s important for selfie lovers to have a great selfie camera. This brings us to a much-asked question- which is the best selfie smartphone in the world? Well, we would have said it’s the iPhone 7, but the game has changed now. Oppo F1s has beaten Apple’s latest flagship in terms of the selfie camera and has become the best selfie smartphone presently.
The Oppo F1s has the Xiaomi Mi5 as its contender in the market, and both the phones get impressive specs and features. The F1s features a 5.5-inch screen while the Mi5 comes with a smaller 5.15-inch display, and both have Corning’s Gorilla Glass 4 protection on them. The Xiaomi Mi5 runs on MIUI v7.0 based on Android 6.0, while the Oppo F1s runs Android 5.1 based ColorOS 3.0.
The Oppo F1s gets a 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6750 octa-core processor, while the Xiaomi Mi5 takes the lead with a 1.8GHz Snapdragon 820 processor. The Mi5 Pro gets a faster 2.15GHz Snapdragon 820 chip. The Oppo F1s has Mali T860 for graphics, while the Mi5 has got Adreno 530 GPU. The Oppo F1s offers 3GB RAM with 32GB internal expandable storage. The Mi5 offers 3GB RAM with 32GB or 64GB internal storage, and the Mi5 Pro features 4GB RAM with 128GB storage. There’s no microSD slot in the Mi5, so no memory expansion.
Talking about the camera, the Xiaomi Mi5 comes with a 16MP Sony IMX298 snapper at the rear with f/2.0 aperture, OIS, PDAF, and dual tone dual-LED flash. It features a 4MP front camera with f/2,0 aperture. The Oppo F1s gets a 13MP rear camera with LED flash, but it’s a total winner in the selfie department with a crazy 16MP f/2.0 front shooter! The Xiaomi Mi5 comes with a 3,000mAh battery and QC 3.0, while the Oppo F1s offers a 3,075mAh battery.
The Oppo F1s has got a lower price than the Mi5 and gets a larger screen, a sleeker design, and an amazing selfie camera. However, it is defeated by the Mi5 when it comes to performance and features, which is where the Mi5 offers the most value for money. Of course, we are talking about selfie smartphones here, so the Oppo F1s should be your first choice if you are a crazy selfie person.
Wil you buy the Oppo F1s for its 16MP selfie camera? Comment below.

I sat on the cold, hard floor, all concrete and painted blue, while waiting for my ride home. For the first time in what may have been months I listened to Frank's Wild Years by Tom Waits from start to finish. I had forgotten that even while totally sober, this record always puts me into that happy-drunk state of mind. Tom sings and plays and I swagger and sway.
The rain came down hard outside while I kneeled against the wall by the time clocks. I scooped up a nickel that had fallen from the hole in my pocket and wondered if I wasn't being too much of a sad sack to consider that hole as a metaphor for the rest of my days. Probably I was. With the five cents now safely in the other pocket and "Innocent When You Dream" closing out the album, I stood up and stretched, all six-foot-two of me plus arms reaching toward the ceiling. There was reward in the stretch as my spine did that pop-pop-pop, my bone machine all elongated and ready for movement.
I opened the doors to the cold and contemplated this small chapter of my life. Bruised, but blessed. Hole in my pocket, but music in my head. No reliable means of transportation, but a ride home from a friend. I smiled and took what I had.

Beets, Radicchio, Orange Salad
3 beets (red, yellow and white)
1 orange, peeled and cut into cubes
3 or 4 leaves from the radicchio ( tear them into thirds)
1 celery stalk/rib, cut into thin slices
dill for garnish
goat cheese, grated
Mix in a small jar the following.
2 tablespoons of champagne vinegar
6 tablespoons salad oil
Salt and pepper to taste
This site will walk you through how to cook beets: http://tipnut.com/cook-beets/. Since I am using different colored beets, I cooked them individually so the colors do not seep into each other. (looks good for presentation)
After cooking, allow the beets to come to room temperature and remove their peels. Use a paper towel to remove the peel. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place a little vinegar, a pinch of salt and sugar and cook the cubed beets until the liquid evaporates. Allow this to cool well before using them in salads.

Last month, a new Pilot Road 2 on the back of my RS picked up a nail 43 miles after installation. I put a new tire on the bike.
The old tire sat in the garage, mocking me. The puncture was small, in the middle of a sipe in the tread area, at right angles to the tread, and pretty small. I thought I'd try a repair. I got some vulcanizing cement, and some patches (rubber disk + stem, with a metal tip on the stem) from Patchboy.com.
The printed-on-the-box instructions for the patches say one should install an "insert" in the hole before applying the patch. Given that these patches have an insert built-in already (the stem), this part of the instructions seem generic and, here, inapplicable. So I prepped (abraded and cleaned) the inside of the tire, and applied vulcanizing cement to the interior and to the hole (via a cement-covered mechanic's pick. Then I've put it aside to dry. I'm following the instructions I found at the 31 Inc (another patch manufacturer) website: http://www.31inc.com/2005/pdfs/punct...al%20_8x11.pdf
Tomorrow, I plan to remove the covering from the patch, insert the metal stem tip into the hole, work the patch into position, and "stitch" (I typed "stich" the first time out) the patch in position inside the tire.
Am I on the right track here?

Only limited support for a role of psychosomatic factors in psoriasis. Results from a case-control study.
ABSTRACT To investigate the role of stressful events, social support, attachment security and alexithymia in triggering or exacerbating psoriasis.
Outpatients experiencing a recent onset or exacerbation of psoriasis (n=40) were compared with outpatients with skin conditions in which psychosomatic factors are regarded as negligible (n=116). Stressful events during the last year were assessed with Paykel's Interview for Recent Life Events. Attachment style, alexithymia and perceived social support were assessed with the ECR questionnaire, the TAS-20 and the MSPSS, respectively.
The mean number of recently experienced life events, or of undesirable, uncontrollable or major events was not different between psoriatic patients and controls. The only stress measure that showed a slight trend towards an association with psoriasis was having experienced four or more stressful events in the preceding year. There was a statistical trend towards an association between alexithymia and psoriasis, whereas there were no significant differences between patients with psoriasis and controls with respect to perceived social support and attachment security. Subgroup analysis suggested that the role of all psychosomatic factors studied might be more important in certain clinical types, such as guttate and diffuse plaque psoriasis.
Our findings provide only limited support for a role of psychosomatic factors in psoriasis. Future studies should investigate chronic and daily stressors in addition to major life events, include measures of stress appraisal and include specifically patients with a recent onset of disease.

ABSTRACT: To examine the effect of a brief laboratory stressor and social support before the stressor on cardiovascular and cortisol responses, and skin barrier recovery after skin disruption. Eighty-five healthy participants (mean age 22.9 +/- 4.4 years) underwent a "tape-stripping" procedure that disrupts normal skin barrier function, and were randomly assigned to a No Stress (reading task), Stress (Trier Social Stress Test), or Stress + Social Support condition (support from a confederate before the stressor). Skin barrier recovery was assessed by measuring transepidermal water loss from up to 2 hours after skin disruption. Compared with the No Stress condition, the stressor delayed skin barrier recovery by 10% at 2 hours after skin disruption (effect size, r = .29), and increased anxiety (r = .24), negative affect (r = .22), cardiovascular activity (r values from .4-.6), and among male participants, cortisol levels (r = .40). Social support did not influence psychological or physiological responses or skin barrier recovery. Larger physiological responses to the tasks did not predict slower skin barrier recovery. Instead, larger systolic blood pressure responses predicted faster skin barrier recovery (r = .26). This study replicated the effects of short-term laboratory stressors on skin barrier recovery, further establishing the relevance of skin barrier recovery for future research. The support manipulation did not influence physiological responses or skin barrier recovery, suggesting that future research on social support, physiology, and objective health outcomes should focus on naturalistic social interactions, relationships, and stressors.Psychosomatic Medicine 12/2007; 69(8):807-15. · 4.08 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Objective: Problems of affective regulation are considered to contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The aim of this study was to assess the association between alexithymia and anger, and affect regulation in patients with psoriasis.Methods: One hundred and five consecutive patients with psoriasis and 109 healthy subjects who applied to Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital, 2nd Dermatology Clinic between August 2005 and January 2006 were enrolled in the study. The subjects were evaluated by using sociodemographic data form, the Turkish version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Spielberger State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20).Results: No significant statistical difference was detected between the BAI and TAS scores of the two groups.The BDI scores of the psoriatic group were significantly higher than those of the healthy control group. The trait anger and anger-in scores were higher in the patient group compared with the control group, while no difference was detected between the two groups in terms of anger-out and management of anger. Scores of TAS-A were positively correlated with trait anger, anger-in and anger-out. TAS-B and TAS-Total were correlated positively with trait anger and anger-in, and negatively with anger-control. Conclusion: The present findings suggest that patients with psoriasis are not alexithymic and anxious, but more depressive, trait anger and anger-in. Trait anger and anger management styles were detected to be related with alexithymia, especially with its emotional component. Correlation between trait anger and severity of illness suggests that anger management is important in the treatment of patients with psoriasis. Our results indicate the regulatory role of alexithymia in the management of anger in patients with psoriasis. (Archives of Neuropsychiatry 2009; 46: 169-74)Nöropsikiyatri Arşivi. 01/2009;

ABSTRACT: The authors' aim was to investigate the role of stressful events, perceived social support, attachment security, and alexithymia in triggering exacerbations of diffuse plaque psoriasis. Inpatients experiencing a recent exacerbation of diffuse plaque psoriasis (N=33) were compared with inpatients with skin conditions believed to have a negligible psychosomatic component (N=73). Stressful events during the last year were assessed with Paykel's Interview for Recent Life Events. Attachment style, alexithymia, and perceived social support were assessed with the Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaire, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to control for age, gender, education, marital status, and alcohol consumption. In relation to comparison subjects, the patients with psoriasis had lower perceived social support and higher attachment-related avoidance. Also, they were more likely to have high alexithymic characteristics. There were no differences between the patients with psoriasis and the comparison subjects in scores on the Experiences in Close Relationships anxiety scale, the total number of stressful events, and the number of undesirable, uncontrollable, or major events. Although caution should be applied in generalizing these findings to outpatients, this study suggests that alexithymia, attachment-related avoidance, and poor social support might increase susceptibility to exacerbations of diffuse plaque psoriasis, possibly through impaired emotional regulation. Several physiological mechanisms involving the neuroendocrine and the immune system might mediate the interplay between stress, personality, and diffuse plaque psoriasis.Psychosomatics 01/2005; 46(6):556-64. · 1.73 Impact Factor

Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Chung-Hee was simply doing her unhappy visiting sister-in-law a favor when she closed up the family restaurant and walked her home. Perhaps she had a premonition of things to come, because she resisted stopping in at a bar on the way. Soon enough, the woman she had been consoling has gotten picked up by a man, and Chung-Hee is left to handle things on her own. Two students attempt to rape her, and in her struggle to resist them she bit the tongue off of one of the men. Rather than prosecute the rapists for rape, the government seems to be bent on punishing her for resisting it, as she is subjected to two separate judicial procedures. This dramatic film is based on a true story.

VII. Answer in Details.
1. Write a brief account on pollination.
Transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma of a flower is called pollination.
Transfer of pollen grains from male flower to the female flower by us is called artificial pollination. However in nature there are many ways in which pollen grain reach the stigma of a flower and it is called natural pollination.
There are two types of pollination :
1) Self – pollination
2) Cross - pollination
Pollen grains are transferred from one anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower of the same plant. This is called self pollination. This process doesn't need any pollinators. Plants do not need to produce pollen grains in a large quantity for self pollination.
Pollen grains are transfered from another of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same kind or different plant. This called cross pollination. Plants need to produce pollen grains in larger quantities to increase the chance of pollination. It requires various pollinators like wind, water, insect and animals.
2. Explain the underground stems.
In most of the plants stem grows above the ground but there are some stems that grow under the ground. They store food for the plant stem. There are four types of underground stems :
i) Rhizome ii) Corm iii) Tuber iv) Bulb
i) Rhizome :
It is an underground thick stem with node and intemodes with scale leaves at the node. It grows horizontally and has an irregular shape. Rhizome have buds.
They give rise to new stem and leaf.
Eg. Ginger and Turmeric
ii) Corm :
This underground stem is round in shape and flat at the top and bottom. It is a condensed form of rhizome and bears one or more buds in the axils of scale leaves. Daughter plants arise from their buds. Eg. Colocasia
It is an enlarged, spherical underground stem that store food. It has many dormant buds on its surface known as "Eye". If we plant a part of tuber with the bud, it grows in to a new plant.
iv) Bulb :
It is a condensed stem which is disc like and stores food in the fleshy leaves. The bulb has two types. (1) Fleshy leaves (2) Scaly leaves. The upper part of the stem has a terminal bud and it is covered by many scale leaves. The inner fleshy leaves store food as seen in Garlic and Onion.
VIII. Higher Order Questions.
1. Ginger is considered to be a stem, not a root. Why?
Ginger is considered to be stem because it has nodes and intemodes. Node is covered with scale leaves and buds.
2. What will happen if pollen grain of rose gets deposited on stigma of lily flower? Will pollen germination takes place? Why?
No, because both flowers are different species. There will be no germination of pollen grains.
IX. Assertion and Reasoning types of Question.
1. Assertion – Pollination and fertilization in flowers, produces fruits and seeds.
Reasoning – After fertilization the ovary becomes fruit and ovule becomes seed.
a. Assertion is correct, Reasoning is incorrect.
b. Assertion is incorrect, Reasoning is correct.
c. Assertion is correct, Reasoning is correct.
d. Assertionis incorrect, Reasoning is incorrect.
Answer: 1) c. Assertion is correct, Reasoning is
2. Assertion – The example of conical root is carrot.
Reasoning – It is an adventitious root modification.
a. Assertion is incorrect, Reasoning is correct.
b. Assertion is incorrect, Reasoning is incorrect.
c. Assertion is correct, Reasoning is correct.
d. Assertion is correct, Reasoning is incorrect.
Answer: 2) d. Assertion is correct, Reasoning is incorrect.
X. Picture Based question.
i. Observe the picture and draw the labels.
Parts of a Flower
Stigma Pistil Filament Ovule Sepal
Petal Stamen Style Anther Ovary
ii. Identify the four plants shown in the following Name the different modification in each of them.
Name - Modification
1. Banyan - Mechanical support
2. Nepenthus - Trap

- Main Points
Think you have chickenpox or have been in contact with someone who does? Here we cover everything you need to know about chickenpox and pregnancy.
What is chickenpox?
Chickenpox (also known as varicella) is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Shingles is a type of reactivation of the same virus in a person’s body.
What are the symptoms of chickenpox?
It causes a characteristic rash that forms small, fluid filled and particularly itchy blisters which can spread all over the body. The rash goes through three phases: first raised pink or red bumps; second, blisters; and, thirdly, crusts and scabs. Other signs or symptoms that can appear 1-2 days before the rash are viral illness symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, headache, tiredness and generally feeling unwell.
What should I do if someone close to me is diagnosed with chickenpox?
The risks of becoming infected with chickenpox in pregnancy depend on the immunity status of the mother. In other words, it depends if you have had chickenpox before or if you had the vaccine in the past. If you are immune, you are unlikely to be affected. Over 90% of UK adults are immune to VZV and therefore getting a chickenpox infection in pregnancy is quite rare.
If you believe you had contact with someone with chickenpox or shingles, you need to contact your GP as soon as possible. Your doctor will assess the significance of the contact (i.e. the chance of the virus being spread to you) and your susceptibility to the virus (previous chickenpox in the past and immunization history). You might have a blood test to confirm if you are immune to chickenpox. As long as you are immune, there is no need to worry.
If you are not immune to chickenpox and you had a significant exposure you will be offered medication called varicella zoster immunoglobulin (VZIG) as soon as possible to prevent you getting infected with chickenpox. This medication is effective when given up to 10 days after contact, therefore it is important to visit your GP as early as possible if you have any concerns. Once you develop the rash, there is no therapeutic benefit of having the VZIG as you are already infected.
During this time, you may be contagious so need to isolate yourself from other pregnant women as well as other people who may be susceptible to the infection. Try not to attend the GP or any antenatal appointments. Call your midwife to let them know that you have been in contact with chickenpox so that they can rearrange any appointments. Last but not least, it is very important to inform the GP or your midwife if you develop a rash.
Chickenpox — what to do if you develop a rash
You should immediately contact your GP and you should avoid contact with potentially susceptible individuals — for example other pregnant women and young babies — until the lesions have crusted over. This is usually about 5 days after the onset of the rash.
Once there is a diagnosis of chickenpox in pregnancy and you are within 24 hours of the onset of the rash you will be offered oral acyclovir if you are beyond 20+0 weeks; if you are before 20+0 weeks oral acyclovir will be considered but not offered as a matter of routine.
Aciclovir is an antiviral medication. Although it is not licensed for use in pregnancy, it is not known to be harmful and therefore it is used by the doctors when required. The manufacturers advise use only when the potential benefit outweighs the risks.
What are the risks of chickenpox in pregnancy for the mother?
Varicella infection can range from a mild condition which can be managed at home, to a more severe form that may include the development of pneumonia, hepatitis and encephalitis. In rare cases it can be fatal. If you experience any of the following, seek medical advice or attend A&E (not the maternity unit where there are other pregnant women and babies):
- Respiratory symptoms (difficulty breathing)
- Haemorrhagic rash or bleeding
- Neurological symptoms (sensitivity to light, drowsiness, severe headache, seizures)
- You are getting progressively worse
If you are a smoker, have a known lung condition or have recently been taking steroids, it’s worth getting some medical advice anyway, even if you feel relatively well.
What are the risks of chickenpox in pregnancy for the unborn baby?
If the baby gets the infection early in the pregnancy, the baby can develop fetal varicella syndrome (FVS). If the baby gets the infection around the time of delivery, the newborn can develop varicella infection of the newborn/neonatal varicella. The symptoms and the implications vary.
Fetal varicella syndrome
If chickenpox occurs in the first trimester (weeks 1-12) of the pregnancy, the risk of miscarriage does not appear to be increased. If the woman develops chickenpox in the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, there is a small risk (approximately 1%) that the baby can get infected and develop fetal varicella syndrome. Therefore, women who develop chickenpox in pregnancy earlier than 28 weeks should be referred to a fetal medicine specialist. A detailed ultrasound scan and examination of a sample taken from the fluid around your baby (amniocentesis) might give more information about how baby is doing.
Fetal Varicella Syndrome (FVS) is characterised by a spectrum of anomalies. The defects can involve the skin (scarring), the eyes (microphthalmia, chorioretinitis or cataracts), the limbs/bones/muscles (hypoplasia) and the nervous system (microcephaly, cortical atrophy, mental retardation or dysfunction of bowel and bladder sphincters) among others.
Varicella infection of the newborn
If maternal infection occurs in the last four weeks of the pregnancy, there is a significant risk of varicella infection of the newborn and you will be reviewed by an obstetrician. The infection may be passed to the baby via the placenta, in the birth canal or directly from you after birth. Unfortunately, there is not enough evidence to support any specific treatment to help prevent chickenpox transmission from the mother to the baby while the baby is still in the womb.
Your obstetrician will advise you as to the best time to deliver the baby to reduce the risk of varicella of the newborn. This is usually at least 7 days after the rash develops. Also, a neonatologist (doctor for the newborn) will be involved and make a plan for the care of the baby once delivered.
Varicella Infection of the Newborn resembles chickenpox symptoms in adults but can be quite severe for the baby, with higher rates of complications. Therefore, babies will receive VZVIG +/- aciclovir soon after delivery.
You can still breast-feed the baby as long as you feel well enough to do so, there are no blisters around the nipple area, and the baby receives prophylactic treatment.
- more than 85% of UK adults are immune to chickenpox and therefore chickenpox in pregnancy is rare.
- Contact your GP if you are pregnant and have been in contact with chickenpox or shingles.
- Avoid other pregnant women and young children if you are not immune of if you have symptoms of chickenpox.
- If you develop the rash, you will need aciclovir treatment if you are more than 20 weeks.
- Fetal Varicella syndrome is rare (<1% risk if less than 28 weeks), but can have devastating consequences.
- Getting chickenpox in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy has a high risk of transmission to the baby and delivery should be delayed at least 7 days after the onset of the rash.

The campaign for the House District 52 seat has been congenial to date —- and that’s the way both contenders want it to stay.
“This has been a very positive issue-oriented campaign and that’s the way it should be, people don’t want bickering they want results,” said Rep. Patti Smith, R-Corbett.
Her Democratic rival, Larry Cramblett of Cascade Locks, agrees.
“It’s been comfortable because, basically, we’re just staying with the issues,” said Cramblett.
That doesn’t mean the two candidates share the same views for fixing the state’s economic woes. Smith believes that her two years of experience will most benefit citizens because she has already navigated the steep learning curve. Cramblett contends that he can bring a fresh perspective to the complexities of managing state government.
“The experience I have gained by serving in a regular session and five special sessions will serve our district well,” Smith, 55, said.
“We need to open up our eyes, open our thoughts to take a look at our priorities and come up with some new ideas,” said Cramblett, 51.
Both Cramblett and Smith are drawing from the troubled Public Employees Retirement System, but Smith is boldly proposing that all legislators forfeit that funding and bring labor representatives and the governor to the table to find a solution to the growing problem. Cramblett is distrustful that the advertised $8.4 billion deficit in the program is accurately calculated and wants to investigate the issue further before recommending any changes.
“If we fix it right we do the right thing by everyone — taxpayers and retirees,” said Smith.
No matter how troubled PERS is, Cramblett, a retired school teacher, thinks immediate action needs to be taken to secure school funding by removing education revenue from the general fund and placing it into a dedicated account. He is willing to consider a sales tax if necessary to accomplish that goal, although he wants to form a panel of experts to review how to best spend school dollars.
“We need to make kids the first priority and look at the overall tax package,” he said.
Smith wants to hold the line on taxes in a troubled economy but agrees with Cramblett that both children and senior citizens need to be spared from budget cuts. She said the best methodology for stabilizing programs for these populations is to revitalize the state’s private business base.
“We must protect our schools and we can do that by stimulating our economy with more family wage jobs,” said Smith, who serves on the House Task Force on Jobs and Economy.
Cramblett also supports state action to attract new industries and businesses, but wants to focus on “environmentally friendly” firms that protect Oregon’s high quality of life.
“I would like to be able to evaluate what we have and decide what Oregonians want,” said Cramblett, who wants to have a liaison in place that will help entrepreneurs through the regulatory system.
Smith wants to cut the bureaucratic burden that is making ownership of smaller businesses more costly and difficult to manage but Cramblett is hesitant to lift regulations that he believes have protected the scenic beauty of the state.
“We still want to to keep that pristine look that has made Oregon special,” said Cramblett.
The two candidates are joined in their support of the agriculture industry and both want to promote “Buy Oregon” labeling on fruits and vegetables and use of homegrown fruits and vegetables by public institutions. They also strongly applaud the expansion of “value added” product lines.
“Our agriculture economy is vital to this district so that makes it a priority for me,” said Smith.
They also agree that the state government’s spending habits need to be curbed and operations streamlined to prevent the duplication of services and an undue burden being placed on taxpayers.
“I’ve learned in the past two years that there are a lot more complex issues involved in state government than anyone can imagine so it takes a lot of listening and willingness to work through the issues,” said Smith.
She said a good example of that leadership was the outcome of last week’s Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act hearings. According to Smith, who co-chaired the Oregon legislative oversight panel, the 16-hour discussion appears to have a pro-active result. She said the Gorge Commission is now working with legislators to iron out many of the problems that have plagued the Mid-Columbia since the NSA became law in 1986. That is especially important, said Smith, since the four Gorge counties with the largest Scenic Area holdings have the highest unemployment rates in their respective states.
“I think by solving the economic development problem in the Gorge we will eliminate a lot of the really contentious issues,” said Smith, who wants to work closely Oregon federal legislators Rep. Greg Walden, Sen. Ron Wyden and Sen. Gorden Smith toward that goal.
Improving the state’s transportation system to attract more commerce also heads Smith’s “to do” list and she plans to seek a role on the House Transportation Committee if re-elected to help solve growing pains on Interstate 84, Highway 26 and the Historic Columbia River Highway.
“We are in a difficult recession, there are difficult decisions to make and I am confident that, under new leadership, we will be able to make them,” she said.
Cramblett said he hasn’t yet developed any hard ideas about Oregon’s future but has spent the past six years traveling to Salem to lobby issues on behalf of Cascade Locks and children. He believes the state’s current budget woes can be overcome if legislators are willing to sit down in a bi-partisan effort to prioritize programs and cut unnecessary expenditures.
“I think Oregon can be very prosperous, I think we need to be incorporate new ideas from other states and be open to new ideas,” said Cramblett.
He referred to the state as a “house” and said children should be considered the foundation and senior citizens the roof — which is in danger of falling in because of the high cost of health care and prescription drugs. Cramblett wants to take a strong role in reforming the total “medical package” to make it more affordable, especially to the elderly who are on fixed incomes.
“It is a tough time to be in Salem and some major decisions are going to have to be made for Oregon and we’re going to have to make some tough calls,” he said.
Smith and Cramblett grew up in the Gorge and have been actively involved in their respective communities. She and husband, Leroy, have five grown children. He and wife, Bettie, have three adult children.
“You don’t do this job for the money ($1,287 monthly), you do it for your communities and the opportunity to represent them well,” Smith said.

Alongside the river Seine and in the Champ de Mars park, the 1,062-foot-tall (323-meter) Eiffel Tower attracts more than 7 million visitors annually. It has two restaurants, including the legendary Le Jules Verne on the second floor, and three viewing levels.
Unless you’re content to pack a picnic and sit in the picturesque gardens admiring the tower from the ground, you’ll need to purchase entry tickets. These vary in price depending on the level you go to and the way you get there: by elevator, stairs (704 steps take you as far as the second floor) or a mix of both. The first floor is an elevator ride or some 300 stairs away from ground level. It has informative displays, a cinema auditorium showing films on the history of the tower and an exhibition room with art inspired by the landmark.
Take more stairs or an elevator to the second floor. Here you will find souvenir shops, more displays, including “story windows” on the tower’s construction and the old hydraulic lifts, and a vertiginous view to the ground below through the vision well.
At 905 feet (275 meters), the top floor observation area is accessible only by elevator. It has 360-degree views of Paris and its surrounds. Toast the end of your Eiffel journey with a glass of bubbly from the Champagne Bar. Admire the view and the engineering behind this iconic structure, which was initially intended as a temporary building. Designed by Gustave Eiffel and erected in 1889 in time for the World’s Fair, the tower was saved from demolition when experiments proved it was suitable for radio transmissions.
Except in extreme weather conditions (ice, snow, wind), the tower is open every day, with extended hours during the summer. In peak seasons, access to some floors may be closed temporarily until congestion clears. Set aside at least three hours for your Eiffel Tower visit; lines may be long and the climb slow. Whether you climb the tower or not, don’t miss the nightly light show. You will see 20,000 flashing bulbs turn the Eiffel Tower into a glittering beacon. The show starts at nightfall, with a shimmer of lights every five minutes well into the night.
The Eiffel Tower is easily accessible by public transportation, including the bus, subway and train. It’s a crowded area, so parking may be difficult to find.
Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel is less than a 5-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. The Louvre and Jardin du Luxembourg are both about 15 minutes by subway.
The 4-star Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel has a unique location by the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadero. Totally renovated in 2014, it offers easy access to the Champs-Elysées, the Louvre, Invalides, Champs de Mars, and the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district.
This Paris apart'hotel is housed in a 32-storey tower by the River Seine, 300 metres from Centre Beaugrenelle Cinema and 700 metres from the iconic Eiffel Tower.
A modern seven-storey Paris hotel inspired by the Art Deco style, overlooking Parc de Monceau, one kilometer from the Champs-Élysées.
This romantic Paris hotel is situated 300 meters from the Parc du Champs de Mars, 750 meters from the Eiffel Tower, and 800 meters from the historical Invalides Hotel.
Located in 7th Arrondissement, this hotel is within a 15-minute walk of American University of Paris, Rodin Museum, and Champ de Mars. Eiffel Tower and Pont de l'Alma are also within 15 minutes.
A renovated 19th-century boutique hotel in the center of Paris, behind the Maison du Japon and 500 meters from the Eiffel Tower. Also near Champ de Mars, Trocadero, Bords de Seine, and Croisière sur la Sein.
Located near the slopes, this 7th Arrondissement apartment is in the city center and within 1 mi (2 km) of Statue of Liberty - Paris, Eiffel Tower, and Champ de Mars. Arc de Triomphe and Palais de Chaillot are also within 2 mi (3 km).

Retrain Brain and Simply-Shine Tips and Tricks
An invisible illness is defined as any medical conditional that isn’t easily visible to others. This includes chronic physical conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and Functional Neurological Disorder, which is what I have. It also includes mental illnesses. As you appear to be fine on the outside, people don’t understand you are really ill. This leads to frustration from the person ill and those around them. Add to this, my symptoms vary in their severity from day, week or month. Someone might see me “looking fine” so not understand why I then have cancel plans, for example. So this is how I explain my invisible illness and why.
This post was updated on 29/06/18
We’re at that time of year when you are likely to be thinking about your summer holiday. I am lucky enough that I have three trips that i am looking forward to in the next few months. So I am starting to think about what I can put in place to travel with a chronic illness: manage my symptoms and ensure I have a wonderfully relaxing time. I am sure many others would benefit from this too, so decided to blog about it. I wanted to keep this post quite general, so will apply to more people. So I’ve had a little help from others with a chronic illness. Where they are a fellow blogger, I have included a link to their blog or social media.

The last 5 months have been crazy for me. I lost my mom due to copd in April and then shortly afterwards I went to the hospital because of my grief. What I thought would only be a week or two week stay ended up being a 4 and a half month stay. I spent a month at my local hospitals psych ward and then got transferred to a state psychiatry hospital an hour and a half away from home for 3 and a half months. When I got to the state hospital I got tested for covid and it was a positive result so I then spent the next 10 days in quarantine (which sucked). After those 10 days I got moved to a regular psych unit. I then spent most of the next 3.25 months on 1to1 because of my behavior but I eventually got off 1to1 and got some freedom back on the unit (like showering without someone in my room and being able to sleep with my light turned off). I spent my 25th birthday at that hospital (it was boring and sucked). I eventually went home on September 10th 2021 (I've been home a week now!!!) and am trying to figure out how to stay stable again. I've had to make a lot of phone calls trying to set up new treatment for me and have already ran into a few walls (sadly). I've left a bunch of messages and am just waiting for people to call me back. Hopefully I get things in place soon.
It's been a journey lately. Last week I was discharged from the psych ward after almost 2 weeks in there.
I find now my "bad thoughts" have diminished majorly but I still feel numb, and experiencing a lot of anxiety.
Part of this is I think from being around people and having to smile and laugh, it's super tiring. I just want to hide lol.
I am currently with my husband and in laws and they have made soooo many plans for the next few days.
Sorry for being absent. I’ve been in a locked psychiatric ward for over a month now. Being suicidal sucks. Any words of wisdom? I will write a longer post later but I just wanted to update you all as why I’ve been gone for so long.

I've had 2 hospitalizations in the past 2 months and only my parents and sister know about it. I've been off work since early April and won't be going back until at least July. I'm typically an oversharer but parents are more hush hush about things. I know it's my choice, not my parents, to decide what to do, but I'm not sure what would be best for me. Rightnow I feel like I'm lying by omission. #Depression #Anxiety #PsychWard
I’m not quite thirty and I haven’t been able to hold a job let alone pursue a career due to my mental health problems getting bad in high school and much worse upon graduating. I tried college but had to withdraw before the first semester ended. After that I was in and out of psych wards, treatment facilities, just wasting away. There was a span of time I isolated so much, I didn’t drive, I only went to medical and psych appointments, and had no friends. I was significantly overweight, using food, and sometimes substances (though sometimes I was even too anxious and depressed to put effort into going out to find, sounds crazy I know) to numb out.
I eventually went to treatment in another state which really helped. I finally made friends, learned some independence, and sorta felt normal. When I got home I took a class at a community college, did really well but when the second semester came and I signed up for two classes, I crashed. Ended up back in the psych ward, and started ECTs which barely helped. Later started DBT which years later I’m still in and I feel like I’m so broken that I’ll never graduate even though I’ve not relapsed nor been hospitalized in over 2 years. I started ketamine infusions almost 2 years ago, I hate that my family foots the bill.
I’m looking to try working again, I’m on disability so it’s tricky, to say the least. And I’m living with family since I can’t afford anything else but I’m so tired of it. It’s just embarrassing how much I depend on others and how much I have to learn that others learned at 18. I just feel so pathetic and I know that’s not helpful but it’s hard when I know others view me that way, and some people who do have some say/influence.
It’s funny because as ashamed as I feel, it seems like I make a lot of excuses. I want to just “rip that bandaid off” and do everything that I’ve avoided or been unsure of, I just don’t know why I feel so stuck in the I “can’t” vs I “can”. Sorry this got so long, just needed to vent anonymously. Thanks to anyone who reads. #Depression #Bipolar2Disorder #Anxiety #SocialAnxiety #AvoidantPersonalityDisorder #MentalHealth #PsychWard #PsychiatricHospital #ElectroconvulsiveTherapy #Ketamineinfusions
I hate taking medications. I hate the fact I need them to fit into society's little box of conformity. I never know if any feeling is even real sometimes. Does anyone else ever feel like no matter what you do its never enough to get through the shame of having the unseen disorder. People assume because I look normal that I should just always be happy. Is anything ever going to get better? I mess up and act weird but that's me. Why can't I just be me? Why do I have to be what everyone thinks I should be. I get so sick of not being accepted but who really cares.. That's what I want is to have someone just like understand the crazy rollercoaster that I battle every single day. I want to just be happy. But all I do is self sabotage. I could scream at the top of my lungs sometimes how fake people are to my face because they judge me behind my back. But won't stop to think how hard it is to have a mental illness and addiction problems. Everyday I battle myself and forgive others for being fake just because they have no idea how painful it is to be alone in this madness. I just want to be my weird stupid self without being stigmatized. Everything I go through isn't easy. It feels like a million people wantvme to just go away or be who or what they want from me. Because why? Why do normal people hatevme so much #Bipolar #Addiction #PsychWard #Bipolar #help

- Orlando Pirates legend Joseph Ngake has praised the club’s decision to conduct pre-season training in Zambia
- Ngake said local players were often shocked when playing outside of South Africa for the first-time
- Orlando Pirates are preparing to take part in the CAF Champions League this season
Orlando Pirates legend Joseph Ngaka has praised his former club’s decision to conduct its pre-season training in Zambia. Ngake said the move showed that the Buccaneers were serious about their upcoming campaign to win the CAF Champions League.
Ngake said local players were often ill-prepared for the challenge of playing on the continent and against clubs from other parts of Africa. He said players were usually shocked by the playing conditions outside of South Africa and the playing style of African clubs.
Orlando Pirates have taken a leaf out of current CAF champions Mamelodi Sundowns playbook to take its players to a neighbouring country to prepare for the upcoming season.
Briefly.co.za gathered that Mamelodi Sundowns proved last season that training in a foreign country served as a good base to mount a successful challenge for the African championship and being competitive in the PSL.
Ngake said the trip to Zambia would be good for the entire Orlando Pirates squad and in particular the new recruits and those who had never been outside of South Africa.
Kickoff.co.za reported that Ngake praised the Orlando Pirates technical and management team for taking the bold step of moving the training camp to Zambia. He added that this was a great example of how South African teams should prepare for the African Championship.
Ngake said it looked like the club had learned valuable lessons from their last campaign in the African tournament when they made the final.
Orlando Pirates have taken steps to expose their players to a variety of conditions and opposition to be better prepared and the club has boosted its squad size in a bid to combat player fatigue.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the team’s management will use the trip to Zambia to try and lure Zambian player Lazarous Kambole into joining the team.

Recording projectiles flying to the target is a very simple process, and it produces some neat results that you can take home with you on film after your done at the range.
A up to date camera is a must. I used to film with a standard definition camera, and when you zoomed in the mirage made everything turn to pot. With the HD camera, mirage still occurs, but you can still see whats going on down range better than with an old camera.
The camera I used is a Panasonic HC-V270 with 90x optical / digital zoom. This is a budget camera that runs a 1080p picture in 60 FPS. Nothing special and by no means a pricey piece of equipment.
Place the camera next to your position and zoom in on the target. Ensure that you are recording more of the space above the target than below since our bullet will arch to the target.
For even better results, shoot with the sun behind you and you might capture an image of the bullet itself as it fly’s downrange. In this case, I was fortunate to capture a 75 gr Hornady fly to a 600 yard gong.
I hope you can record some very cool shots. Anyone have a 45/70?
I have been using the Razor HD II for about 6 months. It’s a well-known optic, and there are many good reviews online for the piece already. They discuss its weight, its features, its huge eye-box, and they discuss X, Y, or Z… but they seem to neglect the real meat and potatoes of the optic. The Razor HD II is a Jack of All Trades.
I studied my options for weeks before I chose the Razor. $1400 isn’t chump change. It cost more than the ACOG it replaced, but looking at the optic from a shooters perspective can give us some good reasons to go with a high-end variable over a ACOG.
First and foremost, the optic I chose has a JM-BDC1 reticle. This reticle is a BDC calibrated for multiple loadings. The ranging marks are good for 9 inch wide target, and not the shoulder width of the typical BDC stadia. For ranging purposes on a human silhouette, the head must be used instead of the shoulders to measure an accurate range. I don’t consider this good or bad, just different.
What is good though, is that the BDC mirrors several important loadings very well. 55 and 62 grain ammo will match the stadia out of 16 inch and longer systems well with a sight in at + – 100 yards. Heavier ammo in the 69-77 grain range will match the stadia closely if zeroed at 200 yards. This makes the razor a good system for people who might be switching rifles or ammo types and haven’t settled on a specific loading.
Furthermore, since it’s a second focal plane optic, we can also modify the bullet drop by dialing back a bit on the magnification. Very oddly… i found that, according to Strelok Ballistic Calculator, the Razor HD would calibrate very well at 3x for a 12 inch .300 blackout firing supersonic loadings. Also the 9 inch stadia (calibrated at 6x) become 18 inch stadia at 3x so suddenly this optic can be capably used for a loading it wasn’t designed for…
Obviously experimentation is necessary to identify loadings that match well to the stadia and which level of magnification will further align with the bullet drop. Since the Razor is offered in Mil-Rad and MOA reticles as well, you can go that route too instead of tweaking things like I do with the JM-BDC-1.
The illumination is daylight bright, and is a single dot in the center of the cross-hairs. Is it red dot bright? Yes. The Razor’s field of view at 1x and bright red dot make this a devastating variable up close.
When you are stretching the optics legs, you can take off the caps and dial in your dope. Underneath the caps the optic is waterproof so no need to worry about leaving the turrets exposed. The important thing to note here is that takes a full 50 minutes of rotation to go past your zero. Since it doesn’t have zero stops, the huge amount of rotation should keep you from getting lost in the dial. If you are shooting 5.56 in a 0-600 yard setting you would need to shoot one slow… derpy loading to need to rotate the dial past 25 minutes.
Wind corrections are also marked and can go 25 minutes either way.
The Razor HD II has plenty of stiff competition. There are many options at the Razor HD’s $1300 price point, but I think it has a nice mix of features to allow you to shoot it in a variety of ways to extract the most value for your dollar. Not to mention the glass is beautiful. Overall, I believe an optic like this goes well on a general purpose gun. It’s not specialized enough to give a precision minded shooter the tools he / she needs for long-range work, and it’s not as light and fast on target as a red dot. It, like many other variables… operates in that niche where it is a jack of all trades, but a master of none. That said, it has more going for it than many other variables I have handled due to its combination of features.
This is a Colt 6933 (well actually a 6945 lower with a 6933 upper). The factory trigger was replaced with a Geissele SSA trigger. A KAC M4 RAS was added to provide a quad rail and add some weight to the front of the gun. The carry handle was removed and replaced with a Matech rear sight. The TA31F ACOG scope was installed because I tried to sell it but no one wanted a $500 beat up ACOG.
It is not as light and handy as a stock 6933, but it is a fun little setup.
I bought a Colt 6945. Why? Because I wanted one. Good enough reason for me.
I ordered the rifle Feburary from Gun Gallery. In September the tax stamp finally came back from the ATF and I picked it up. The staff at Gun Gallery were friendly and helpful, so I would purchase from them again.
The Colt 6945 is a short barreled rifle (SBR) version of the Colt 6940. This rifles 10.3 inch barrel is the main difference from the standard 6940, and is why it is a title II firearm which required me to pay a $200 dollar tax stamp to get it.
The 6940 series of rifles have a monolithic upper with a removable bottom rail. The barrel uses a proprietary barrel extension and gas tube. Shawn and others have reported that their 6940s have superb accuracy due to these changes. Personally I don’t plan to try and use this as a precision rifle, so its no difference to me.
The best thing about a short barreled AR15 is the pure modularity of it. I can easily swap upper for various barrel lengths and calibers.
So I really like my 6945.
Since getting it I have run six different uppers on it. That is one of the great things about a SBR AR15 is the ability to easily change the uppers for difference barrel lengths and calibers. I also swapped out the stock trigger for a Geissele Super 3 Gun trigger.
I have several Geissele SSA triggers and I highly recommend them. I wanted to try the Super 3 Gun (S3G) trigger, so I picked one up a while back. First it was installed in a LMT lower, where it would often double & rarely fail to reset after a shot was fired. So it was quickly removed from that lower(I have had other issues with that lower before). When the got the Colt, I went and tried the S3G trigger in it. Now in the Colt, the S3G trigger worked fine when shooting offhand or from the bench. However due to the very short reset, when I was firing from a bipod I experienced unintentional doubles. This trigger might be great for someone who wants to bump fire, but the reset is a little too short for me. I wouldn’t recommend the S3G for any serious fighting rifles, but I do recommend the Geissele SSA and the Colt 6945 as they are awesome.
Larry Vickers posted up a nifty eight minute video about some of the copies of US SOCOM firearms available.
Unfortatly he only covers some of the ones made by High Caliber Sales(HCS). I purchased a HCS MK12MOD1 upper and had to return it due to the multiple issues it had. Also they have started using Bolt Carrier Groups that are not staked, cheaper non-Colt receiver, etc. I can not recommend High Caliber Sales due to my bad experience with them.
The supply of MK12 parts is drying up. If you want one, it will be better to get it sooner rather than later. Items like the correct handguards (for both the MK12MOD0 and the MK12MOD1) are getting much harder to source.
I was helping out on the range when one of the Range Officers asked me to help clear a jammed Tavor. The owner was attempting to use a Surefire 60 round mag and had a brass over bolt malfunction and could not clear it.
What surprised me is when I easily cleared the visible jammed round the action wouldn’t cycle. Turns out there was a second live round jammed up in there. The follow bound in the Surefire 60 round mag allowing multiple rounds up into the action. How they got up and back in the action I don’t know. For any one who reads this who has used a Tavor and Surefire mags, how well has it worked for you?
A friend of mine showed me this broken spring from his Perazzi shotgun.
This spring for the lower barrel of a Perazzi shotgun reached the end of its service life and was replaced. Fortunately this particular shotgun came with two spares of this spring so the owner can keep it ready for competition. It is good to have spare parts for firearms you depend on. Often it is even better to have a complete working spare firearm.
The DD A1.5 rear sight is an A1 style rear sight that attaches to your railed upper receiver. Instead of having the M16/M16A1 type aperture Daniel Defense uses the M16A2 aperture.
To install the sight you need to completely remove the screw that will hold it on. Then you slide it on from the front or the rear of the upper. You may need to remove your hand guard or your charging handle to do so.
The sight is very light and simple. The only complaint I could have about it is that the rear sight aperture is farther forward on this sight then on most other rear sights.
If you use this sight, keep in mind that the M16A2 rear sight aperture is not same plane, so the concept is to have a 300m zero on the small peep then the larger 0-2 sight will have a 200m zero useful for low light or moving targets.

One year after Carrie Fisher died suddenly at the relatively young age of 60, her Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill has paid a moving tribute to her, saying that she is "always with us".
Carrie Fisher suffered a suspected heart attack on a flight home last Christmas from London to Los Angeles and died in hospital some three days later, with her loved ones by her bedside.
In a touching tribute, Mark Hamill shared two pictures of the two of them together and a drawing of Carrie with her beloved dog, giving the finger. He wrote: “No one’s ever really gone… #AlwaysWithUs #CarrieOnForever.”
The Star Wars actress had heroin, cocaine, methadone and ecstasy in her system at the time of her tragic death, according to the autopsy report.
While the coroner’s report on Carrie Fisher's death listed sleep apnea as the primary cause of death, it was added that a cocktail of illegal drugs also played a role.
The autopsy report also stated that a likely exposure to heroin could have suppressed her breathing as she went into cardiac arrest. But the report concluded: “The manner of death has been ruled undetermined.”
In addition to the Class-a drugs, Fisher was also taking Prozac, Abilify, Lamictal and oxycodone.
The autopsy also pointed out that the actress's family objected to a full autopsy, which meant that coroner’s investigators had access to limited toxicology specimens. The report is based on toxicology results and an external examination of the body.
"The exposure to cocaine took place sometime approximately in the last 72 hours of the sample that was obtained," stated the report.
"Based on the available toxicological information, we cannot establish the significance of the multiple substances that were detected in Ms. Fisher’s blood and tissue, with regard to the cause of death."
Reacting to the report, Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, told People magazine: “My mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life. She ultimately died of it. She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases…
"I know my Mom, she’d want her death to encourage people to be open about their struggles. Seek help, fight for government funding for mental health programs. Shame and those social stigmas are the enemies of progress to solutions and ultimately a cure.”
While the actress's brother, Todd Fisher told the Associated Press, “There’s nothing about this that is enlightening.... I am not shocked that part of her health was affected by drugs. If you want to know what killed her, it’s all of it.”
Shortly after Carrie Fisher's death last Christmas Mark Hamill wrote an emotional tribute to his Star Wars co-star, Carrie Fisher who tragically died at only 60-years-old .
Earlier in the year, writing in the The Hollywood Reporter, Hamill penned a guest column about the “joy” of playing Luke Skywalker alongside Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia on five Star Wars movies.
He compares working with Carrie Fisher to like being in a garage band. “Carrie and I occupied a unique area in each other’s lives - it was like we were in a garage band together that somehow hit it huge. We had no idea the impact Star Wars would have on the world,” he wrote in his moving tribute. "
He added: “I remember we were out on tour right before the movie opened. By the time we got to Chicago, there was a crowd at the airport. I said, ‘Hey look, you guys, there must be somebody famous on the plane.' I was looking around to see who it might be. And then in the crowd I saw a kid dressed in a Han Solo vest. Then I saw girl dressed like Princess Leia. I said, ‘Oh my God, look, Carrie, there’s somebody dressed just like you. She’s got the buns on her head!’”
He also noted, “I’m grateful that we stayed friends and got to have this second act with the new movies. I think it was reassuring to her that I was there, the same person, that she could trust me, as critical as we could sometimes be with each other.
"We ran the gamut over the years, where we were in love with each other, where we hated each other’s guts. ‘I’m not speaking to you, you’re such a judgmental, royal brat!’ We went through it all. It’s like we were a family."
He continued: “When you were in her good graces, you couldn’t have more fun with any person on the planet. She was able to make you feel like you were the most important thing in her life.
"I think that’s a really rare quality. And then you could go 180 degrees opposite, where you were furious with one another and wouldn't speak for weeks and weeks. But that’s all part of what makes a relationship complete. It’s not all one sided. Like I say, she was a handful.
"She was high maintenance. But my life would have been so much drabber and less interesting if she hadn’t been the friend that she was.”
Leading the tributes at the time of her death, Harrison Ford proffered: "Carrie was one-of-a-kind, brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely. My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her Mother Debbie, her brother Todd and her many friends. We will all miss her."

Although the days when skateboarders were viewed as non-conforming hooligans/destroyers of public property are not that far behind us -- it would be hard to find any skater who hasn't been harassed at some point by police or security officers -- the sport has been a suburban phenomenon and established itself as a legitimate career path. Since its inception in the 1950s, it spawned an entire subculture (albeit that subculture has been somewhat diluted and totally corporatized).
Thursday, October 22, The Bubble will hold GRIPTAPE, an event put on by Blair Hess celebrating the generation that brought skateboarding to the street. GRIPTAPE will include a live screen printing by Paul Gnu, "Grind Life 1987" (a photo exhibit chronicling skateboarding in South Florida), and works by 20 artists such as skate icons Lance Mountain, the infamous druggy-turned-born-again Christian Hosoi, Ray Barbee, Steve Caballero, Mark Lake, and Kris Markovich. Margate punk band The Shakers, a group that fuses early '90s punk with hardcore, are scheduled to perform.
Check next week for updates on other bands booked to perform.

Hi. First i must confess that i'm a newbie and so this question might seem stupid... ;D
But do you guys think that it is possible to create a system using the scheduler library to process sound from multiple microphone inputs.
I'm working on a project to alert my school in case of a human emergency and the idea is to send multiple sound inputs from multiple sound sensors to the arduino and to sound the alarm when a key word like "HELP" is detected using the arduino voice shield.
Would i be able to this with the scheduler library?.... if not are there any ideas or tutorials out there about how i can do this? Can you Pls point me in the right direction... i really need help.
