Apparently Miami weed is so good, you can’t leave Florida without some!
Actually sounds like it may be hash. Otherwise, I’m not sure why he’d risk carrying an empty, but used, stash container through the airport.
In 2005, $15 billion in certified organic products sold in the US, of which $1.5 Billion or 10% were imported. The organic industry accounted for just 2.5 percent of the nation’s food market in 2005, but organics of all types are having record growth; for example organic meat sales grew 55 percent.
As the demand increases, shortages will continue, driving up prices. As a country with the resources to pay, we’ll be able to import enough to cover the demand, however there may be a ‘import backlash.’ The eat locally trend is growing, stressing the environmental impact of transporting food from far away, when other local foods are available. It’s looked down upon to eat food from another region, let alone another country.

Somehow I’ve missed this site that’s been around since 2003. The Blog of Death is written by Jade Walker, a former editor of The New York Times obituaries section.
Supposedly you can anonymously purchase these drug tax stamps from the Dept of Revenue. I’d like to see one true dealer have the balls to walk into the Revenue office and buy one, many are sold to collectors. Of the 726 stamps sold so far, none have turned up during a seizure.
Opponents argue that the tax penalties on top of criminal charges amounts to a second punishment, and thus a violation of double jeopardy law. For this reason, a Davidson County chancellor ruled the tax unconstitutional, and stopped the state from collecting Robbins’ $1.1 million. The Tennessee Dept of Revenue believes this decision will be overturned on appeal.

These balls are meant for living, although probably just for a night or two as they have no bathroom, little room, sway when you move among other problems. The more I read the free spirit spheres website, the safer an ewok village sounds.
Time to upgrade that dvd player again…
That will exceed the currently superior 50GB storage capacity of Blu-ray. The HD DVD standard currently offers single and dual-layer discs, which are capable of holding 15GB and 30GB of data, respectively. That’s enough for a movie encoded in 1080p HD resolution, along with all the extras.”

This is currently at $41 on ebay. Weighing in at 7 ounces, buttlesscutlass78 might want to think of making more than 3 of these. Might also want to keep it off the floor….

The man behind Project Grizzly (the topic of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite film of 1996) has a new protection suit ready for soldiers.
The whole suit comes in at 18 kilograms. It covers everything but the fingertips and the major joints, and could be mass-produced for about $2,000, Hurtubise says.”

*If he had internet access, he had a ways of communication to the outside world, why did he use it but he did not use it to save himself? Could he really have been brainwashed from telling people where he was, even on the internet, bribed or Stockholm Syndrome, it just does not add up?”

Slip on the Thumb Thing to make holding open pages more comfortable. It also keeps the spine of the book from being broken, increasing that amazon or ebay resell value. To complete the triple threat, it also acts as a bookmark.

Entertainment Weekly interviewed 83 year-old Norman Mailer, covering booze, his place in history, Philip Roth fans and his new book, The Castle in the Forest (out Jan. 23).
Uh, yeah. I mean, if I say that, and you see it in print, it sounds bizarre, lunatic, unsettling. But if we can believe that God or Gabriel was present at the conception of Jesus, then it seems to me we can believe that the devil was present at the conception of Adolf Hitler.”
For those only familiar with the Grand Theft Auto video game, Liberty City is also a neighborhood in Miami.
I didn’t take my normal route to work yesterday and ended up driving past a homeless shantytown in Liberty City. I didn’t think much of the place until reading about it later that day in The Miami New Times blog. Apparently it’s been home to about 40 homeless people since Oct. 23, has a name-Umoja, or “unity” in Swahili, and commissioners recently backed away from bulldozing it.
I’m a little confused as to what exactly the ‘Take Back The Land’ sign means. Did one of the homeless once own it? Or is it a general statement of ‘Take it back from the man’.
I drove by again today and snapped some photos. Apparently there’s a potluck tonight. I wonder if they are going to fire up the big grill pictured to the left. I was surprised to see some white folks living in the shantytown, not a common site in Liberty City period.
