Had his annual today, and they checked a small lump on his side - turns out to be nothing. Only 3 blocks away, but I take a taxi there because he's intent on getting out of the carrier. We can walk home, because he knows that the carrier will get him there and doesn't fuss.


The price of marijuana is still higher in legal retail stores than on the existing black market, but by this time next year, growers and the state regulatory officials expect the price to drop and supply to grow, said panelists on KSFC Talks: The Budding Business of Marijuana, held live on 91.9 FM on September 23.
Holcomb suggested users smoking or vaporizing should generally wait at least two hours before getting behind the wheel, and people using marijuana edibles should wait four to six hours. Users who also drink alcohol should not drive for several hours.

Alison Holcomb is the Criminal Justice Director for the ACLU of Washington, where she pursues reform strategies aimed at replacing reliance on criminal sanctions with approaches that treat drug abuse as a public health concern and at the same time respect civil liberties, reduce incarceration, and promote racial justice. She was the architect of marijuana legalization Initiative 502 and campaign director for New Approach Washington, the committee that secured I-502's passage by a 56-44% margin. Prior to the I-502 campaign, Holcomb's work included successfully advocating for legislative and regulatory improvements to Washington's medical marijuana law, adoption of the second 911 Good Samaritan overdose prevention law in the nation, and creation of Seattle and King County's groundbreaking Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program that has reframed police thinking about drug use and public safety. She received her B.A. from Stanford University and her J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law.
Ozzie Knezovich was appointed as Sheriff of Spokane County on April 11, 2006.

Kevin Oliver is Executive Director of the Washington state affiliate of NORML. Oliver has maintained a network of county chapters throughout the state with the help of dedicated adult volunteers and enjoyed front row seats as the state of Washington made history, along with the state of Colorado, as the first in the nation to realize NORML's mission "to move public opinion sufficiently to legalize the responsible use of marijuana by adults, and to serve as an advocate for consumers to assure they have access to high quality marijuana that is safe, convenient and affordable." Most recently, Oliver has represented NORML to the World Affairs Council in Seattle acting as a messenger for legalization to international guests of the U.S Department of State as well as interacted directly with the Washington State Liquor Control Board as they continue the rule making and implementation of I-502.

12 Angry Men (1957)
Dir. Sidney Lumet. Starring Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall
12 Angry Men is a magnificent fantasy. Choose your player!
Juror 8 (Fonda) does enough outside research that he essentially manages to retry a case in the jury room which, if we're honest, probably should end this movie with a mistrial as opposed to a "not guilty" vote.
Twelve white men in the late '50s, of whom at least seven or eight would have voted for Donald Trump if you placed them in 2016 (for sure 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, and 12), and decided to acquit a person of color who had been charged with murder.
Eleven grown men change their minds in the space of ninety minutes.
I'm fond of the last one myself, since 12 Angry Men contributes to a commonly believed myth that people's minds can be changed through debate during which the cream will rise to the top. 12 Angry Men is also a marvelous piece of Cold War propaganda, if we're honest, complete with a thickly-accented man impressing on his native-born peers what America means to him and why juries are so important to our concept of freedom. The movie believes in the American ability to self-correct, and is inspired by it; Seven Days in May, only seven years after this film, believes in our ability to self-correct with white knuckles rather than sonorous speeches. People say that Ace in the Hole is cynical, yet it seems to me that 12 Angry Men is a far more cynical movie, lazily presuming that everything will come out right even when it looks very much like something tragic will happen instead. There is a great deal of hard work in this picture, but its rigorous structure—it must last more than half an hour, of course, but more than that its growing tide in favor of Fonda and Joseph Sweeney as numbered by the several votes which inexorably join their column, because who wouldn't join Henry Fonda?—precludes realism in a movie which works so hard to create it otherwise.
Much of that realism is bound up in one of the better casts of the past sixty years, bought on a modest budget and containing a bunch of actors who, if they had died in 1958, would have been almost uniformly anonymous. Only Fonda and perhaps Cobb, in the glamour roles, were anything like household names when the movie premiered; while Jack Warden, Ed Begley, and Martin Balsam would be Oscar nominees (and in the latter two cases, winners), they were not yet more than vague faces. Most of the rest of the cast would carve out a niche on television during the Golden Age; John Fiedler, bless him, is probably the best known to people under eighteen because he voiced Piglet. This is a group of nobodies, in short, and while one wonders how exactly a New York jury is as white as a pre-sit-in Walgreen's, one could reasonably make the case that these people could be scooped up off their streets. Even the name-brand actors are best known for their work as just plain folks; Fonda's breakout was Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath and Lee J. Cobb originated Willy Loman. Of this group, only Fonda and Robert Webber are handsome; George Voskovec has a certain dignity to his features, as does E.G. Marshall, but most of the rest are not much to look at. Then, too, is a trivia fact which speaks to me because it supports the tone of the time and place: more than half of the actors playing jurors had military service in their background. Balsam, Fiedler, Klugman, Binns, Warden, Fonda, and Webber were all World War II vets; Voskovec, playing an immigrant who has presumably seen some nasty things in his home country, fled his native Czechoslovakia when Hitler marched in. In this gathering of men arrayed in a life-or-death purpose, it's hard not to think of those men with birthdays in the late '10s or early '20s as anything but former veterans, and it's serendipitous, perhaps even meaningful, that so many of these men saw combat.
All of them seem to instinctively understand that no matter how grand someone's outside profession is or how big their silver spoon was, it does not give that person the right to talk down to anyone else. Binns plays a house painter and Klugman a man who grew up in a tough neighborhood. (Another little slice of verisimilitude: Klugman, Binns, and Sweeney are all Philadelphians, Warden was born in Newark, and Balsam and Cobb both hail from the Bronx. More than that, they all look like they come from the Mid-Atlantic. Stop in at a Wawa at any time between 6:30 and 8:30 on a weekday and you'll see one of their doppelgangers.) Yet Five and Six refuse to take any guff from Ten, who has a string of garages, or from Three or Seven, who both have successful businesses; Four, who is deeply polite, would never insult those men, but all the same Five and Six would never have allowed the stockbroker to patronize them. It's worth noting that some career determinism is also in play with Eight, who is an architect in real life; from Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle to Liam Neeson in Love Actually to TV's Ted Mosby and Mike Brady, architects are creative and intelligent people who rarely conform to the rigorous standard that one sees in, say, engineers. Their faces are as likely as their jobs, in other words, and there are pains taken to achieve a cross-section from a step above the service sector (Two is a bank teller) to Madison Avenue (Twelve is the kind of guy Don Draper would have punched in the jaw somewhere in Season 2 of Mad Men). These careers and backgrounds also piece together, as they reconstruct the case, with the kind of favor which only the most beneficent gods would bestow. Eight has lived under the el train; helpfully, Six has painted by one. Nine has an eye on the loneliness of old men, as well as the marks on the nose left by glasses-wearing. Four misremembers the name of a B-movie, but Two doesn't. Three demonstrates an overhand stabbing, but Five has a better idea of how a switchblade works. For seemingly every objection or every out-there proclamation, there is someone to second the point.
Reginald Rose will never be confused with America's great dramatists, but his screenplay (based on his play based on his television play) is filled with moments that good actors can take advantage of. There may not be much smoking etiquette on display in this room, but there sure are a bunch of microaggressive taunts which haven't been heard since the '60s. "You can't talk to me like that" is a winner. So are "Who do you think you are?" and especially "How do you like that!" They are basically meaningless phrases, not much more powerful or considered than Cher's ubiquitous "As if!" But give Klugman a "Who do you think you are?" or Warden a "How do you like that?" and it becomes something far more than a forceful colloquialism. Five, the second person to join Eight on the "not guilty" ledger, takes "Who do you think you are?" to a new level, arguing that he's more than his background and using a "Who do you think you are?" like a switchblade to carve out some respect for himself. "How do you like that?/!" becomes a way for someone like Seven or Three to assert dominance, to express disgust that someone might even think a certain way, much less speak it out loud. On the aggregate, Rose uses interjections like a mediocre quarterback uses screen passes, and so characters are built on these seven- and eight-yard gains in the traffic of this crowded little room.
This is Sidney Lumet's first movie, and his ability to work actors into strong performances is amplified by intelligent camera use. On a fairly small budget with one exterior and three interiors, without a single decoration that makes much of an impression, Lumet manages to vary close-ups with wide shots. As his actors get sweatier, more taut, less laconic, we see much less of them. I've written before about the claustrophobia of the movie (and so has literally everyone else), but it really is remarkable how medium close-ups become extreme ones, where even a person's entire head can't fit in the shot. Lumet is also smart enough not to lose the journalistic quality of his shots by angling them in any significant way; we only look up at Eight with any kind of consistency, and even then that shot is echoed for when we'll see everyone from below, staring piece by piece at Three, who has finally found everyone arrayed against him.

Another boost for tours and activities as Klook attracts $5m in funding
By Linda Fox | October 15, 2015
Tours and activities startup Klook has secured $5 million in Series A funding in a round led by Matrix Partners.
Additional participants in the Hong-Kong based business include China Growth Capital and Francis Leung of CVC Capital.
Klook, (Startup pitch here), gained initial funding of $1.5 million earlier this year in a round led by Tencent's Wu Xiaoguang.
A statement from the company says the funds will be invested in enhancing technology and further expansion to increase destinations as well as activities.
Marketing efforts will also be stepped up to increase brand awareness and funds will also be diverted to campaigns with partners.
Klook has also gained two new strategic advisers - Agoda managing director Wilfred Fan and former China National Tourism Administration vice chairman Hu Shuren, who have joined to help grow the business rapidly in Asia.
Recent milestones for the company include the launch of its mobile application in May and it is also in the process of setting up an office in Singapore to act as regional HQ for Southeast Asia.
A report just released by Phocuswright on prospects for the tours and activities sector shows China and Chinese travellers leading the way in terms of online planning and booking of tours as well as use of smartphones for both research and booking.
Klook claims it already has a leading position in the sector in Asia although it will have to contend with competition from the likes of online giant Ctrip which has demonstrated its desire to grow in the sector via an enhanced 'Things To Do' channel on its website.

I am a UK based User Experience designer, working at Anaplan, and I love building useful, usable and accessible applications and tools.
After a lot of thought, procrastination, research and too many late night "scrap it and start agains", I have decided to go with a downloadable PDF portfolio.
I approached the design with one foot in the 'old school' and one sort of in the 'new school'. The layout is A3 with images compressed to 150 dpi which means it can be printed with OK quality, if needs be, which meets the old school requirement.
The new school is bit more challenging and in the end I settled for a PDF document which can be downloaded and viewed with relative ease on a PC, phone or a tablet. The A3 landscape layout works quite nicely on a tablet with each page a swipe away. I figured that was most likely how I would look to present it or refer to it in an interview.

This episode of Harrowsmith Radio is about extraordinary vegetables, wild weather and the water it brings with it.
First up, we head to the east coast, the outskirts of Halifax, Nova Scotia, to be exact. There we meet Niki Jabbour. Niki's a bestselling gardening writer and author of Veggie Garden Remix. She's discovered hundreds of vegetables beyond the rank and file tomatoes, lettuces and squash and other produce you might have already tucked into the soil of your garden. Ground cherries and snake gourds for everyone!
Next, we head to Perth County and chat with sheep farmer Sarah Loten. She's had to cope with the wild, wet weather that has been playing merry hell with a sheep farm.
By the way, the music in the podcast? It's by good ol' Canadian singer, composer and friend of the 'cast, David Archibald. You can find more of his music at his website, davidarchibald.com.
— About Harrowsmith Magazine —
More than 40 years ago, in 1976, James Lawrence pasted together the first edition of Harrowsmith magazine on his kitchen table in rural Ontario. Totally unique, it was the first Canadian magazine to focus on organic living, alternative energy sources, and a country lifestyle. Lawrence's ode to back-to- the-land virtues quickly attracted legions of fans and soon became Canada's bible for rural living.
Over the years, Harrowsmith has had a few incarnations (including Harrowsmith Country Life and Gardening Digest). After a brief hiatus, it returned bigger and better than ever, published by Moongate Publishing Inc. Through it all, our loyal fans have been there with us.
The new Harrowsmith takes the same aesthetic that inspired Lawrence—the thirst for knowledge and inspiration about all things rural, organic and green—and brings it into the twenty-first century with videos, podcasts, digital editions and beautiful full-sized print magazines.
Today's Harrowsmith is still eagerly consumed around farmhouse tables—as well as dockside on Muskoka chairs, on condo balconies, and at downtown coffee shops.
We are proud to continue the spirit of the original publication and its vision of providing a purely Canadian take on country living, the environment, and the sharing of useful information for country dwellers—as well as city folk and anyone seeking to tread a little more lightly upon the earth.
