LSD[edit] Some of the strangest urban legends told are those about lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a potent psychedelic drug that gained popularity in several countries in the 1960s and 1970s, and experienced a brief resurgence in the mid to late 1990s before declining from 2000 onward. The drug's relation to the 1960s counterculture was likely part of the reason for such legends. Attempted murder[edit] "Anyone caught selling LSD can be charged with attempted murder.

" This is a common urban legend that the psychotropic effect of LSD is such an extreme danger to human life that the seller could face charges of attempted murder or manslaughter. Babysitter places baby in the oven while high on LSD[edit] This is an unverifiable drug-scare story dating to the 60s of a hippie babysitter girl putting a baby in the oven and a turkey in the bassinet. Bad LSD[edit] A "bad trip" is easily caused by an expectation or fear of ill effects, which may later be blamed on "bad acid.

The US Special Representative for Burma, Derek Mitchell, has arrived in the country for talks with the new nominally civilian government. Mr Mitchell is also expected to meet pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi as well as a wide range of people from Burma's political and civil groups.

The US state department says the week-long trip is part of Washington's policy to engage with Burma. It is seen as an opportunity for Mr Mitchell to press for genuine reform. This is Mr Mitchell's first visit as the US special envoy to Burma. He was appointed by US President Barack Obama earlier this year, in a move that many in Washington read as a sign of the US commitment to push for greater dialogue and change within Burma's military-backed government.

Mr Mitchell is expected to meet a wide range of people from Burma's political and civil groups during his visit, including opposition party leaders and pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. World Will Install 44 Gigawatts of Wind Power in 2011. The World Wind Energy Association released its mid-year report for 2011, and showed an increase in installations over the same period a year earlier.

A total of 18,405 megawatts of wind power were installed in the first half of this year around the world, up from 16,000 MW in 2010. Unsurprisingly, China accounted for a huge chunk of the 2011 installations, with 8,000 MW of new wind power. The U.S. followed far behind, at 2,252 MW; that represents a big increase over a lackluster 2010 for the U.S., though, when 1,200 MW were added in the first six months of the year.

Some other countries adding a lot of wind capacity through June 2011 were India (1,480 MW), Germany (766 MW), and Canada (603 MW). WWEA expects another 25,500 MW to be installed around the globe the rest of this year, bringing the total for 2011 to 43,900 MW. This represents almost a 17 percent increase over 2010's 37,642 MW. Notably, though, the global wind energy market is expanding. (Image via WWEA) Evening Sends a website by Andrew Bisharat.

Dirtbag Gourmet: Alex Honnold is the World’s Best Climber, World’s Worst Chef - adventure journal. Alex Honnold is most known for being an astounding climber. He’s the record holder on the Nose of El Cap: five hours and 49 minutes. He climbs 5.14c with regularity and he solos 5.13. But what you may not know is that the 26-year-old Sacramento native is a classic dirtbag gourmet. Well, more dirtbag than gourmet, although even that deserves some qualification. We caught up to Honnold on his cell as he was huffing his dad’s old Trek hardtail around Sacramento and he told us about his life on the road, how he eats, and why soloing a 5.13 is safer than mountain biking. UH, WAIT JUST A SEC. CLIMBING WITHOUT A ROPE IS SAFER THAN RAILING SINGLETRACK?

I’ve just skimmed the proposal very quickly, but preliminarily, I was excited to see that the Commission adopted my proposed risk assessment approach to confidentiality. The proposed rule states that lawyers must understand the risks of technology – a reasonable, if not terrifying prospect for those who don’t use technology at all. However, rather than mandate a bright, one-size fits all line for all practices, the Commission adopts an approach that I endorsed in my comments , allowing lawyers to select appropriate measures to safeguard technology based on a consideration of factors including “the sensitivity of the information, the likelihood of disclosure if additional safeguards are not employed, and the cost of employing additional safeguards.” In addition, the proposed rule states that: Related posts: Ethics, Technology and the Solo.

As the environmental impact of buildings becomes more apparent, a new field called "green building" is gaining momentum. Green, or sustainable, building is the practice of creating and using healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance and demolition.

Senate Dems to Biden: Deficit deal with GOP must kill oil industry tax breaks - The Hill's E2-Wire. Twenty Senate Democrats are ramping up political pressure on the White House to ensure that any deficit-reduction deal with Republicans strips billions of dollars in tax breaks for major oil companies. The group — led by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) — sent a new letter outlining their stance to Vice President Biden, who is leading talks with Republicans on reaching a deficit-cutting deal needed to secure votes to raise the nation’s debt ceiling.

“The American people are demanding to know why they are forced to hand over taxpayer dollars to help oil executives enrich themselves when they're already paying $4.00 for a gallon of gasoline,” the letter circulated Tuesday states. The letter states that cutting industry tax breaks “must be part of any agreement you reach to raise the debt ceiling and lower the deficit.” In mid-May the Senate to repeal $21 billion in tax breaks and apply the savings to deficit reduction. It states: Menendez had that new outreach to Biden was in the offing. Leahy. Planetizen | Urban Planning, Design and Development Network. The earthy report.

By Jason Knight The following bow making instructions will help you construct an effective bow in a relatively short amount of time.

A quickie bow is a fast-made bow for immediate use in a survival situation. It is carved from a sapling or branch of a tree. The reason it is called a “quickie” bow is because it is made at the time the wood is harvested, rather than waiting a year or more for the wood to season (as is typical for regular bow construction). The advantage of this bow is that it is ready to use right away. The disadvantage is that the quickie bow may break or crack as it dries out over the months after construction. Regardless, a quickie bow can often become an effective long-term bow by caring for it as it dries out over the course of a few months.

Survival Bow Making Instructions 1. The first step is to select the proper materials. For a quickie bow, you want to start with a relatively straight section of sapling or branch that is free of knots, side branches, and twists. 2. Final Days... Project E.M.P.

Some 400 Occupy Wall Street protesters got into costume Friday, but the occasion wasn’t an early observance of the beloved pagan-inspired holiday that is Halloween.

Rather, the messengers from among OWS ranks paid visits to big bank headquarters in Manhattan to deliver mail from thousands of Americans who claim to have been negatively impacted by the financial shenanigans that contributed to the Great Recession. AP via CBS News: One group of protesters headed down a Fifth Avenue sidewalk, chanting, “You’ve got mail! You’ve got mail!” About 50 police officers accompanied them, on foot and in vehicles.

Wednesday 10.5.11. The Whole Earth Disk: An Iconic Image of the Space Age. Earth from Apollo 17. NASA Image #AS17-148-22727 Who has not seen the bright blue and white image of the Earth, swaddled in clouds and looking inviting, in numerous places and in various settings? Taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts on December 7, 1972, this photograph is one of the most widely distributed images in existence. It was the best one taken by these astronauts of a fully lit Earth, as the astronauts had the Sun behind them when they took the image. Sometimes called the “blue marble,” this photograph taken during the translunar coast en route to the Moon, showed the Mediterranean Sea area in the north and extended to a good depiction of the to the Antarctic south polar ice cap.

There was a heavy cloud cover in the Southern Hemisphere but the majority of the coastline of Africa is clearly visible, especially the Arabian Peninsula, Madagascar, and portions of the Asian mainland. Stewart Brand put the photograph on the cover of his Whole Earth Catalog. Roger D. The 32 Wittiest Comebacks Of All Time.

Surfrider's Not the Answer campaign is focused on opposing the expansion of offshore drilling in the United States. Surfrider chapters across the country are advocating for legislation and agency decisions that will prohibit the exploration, development, or production of oil and gas in state and federal waters.

Current priorities of the Not the Answer campaign include: 1) Influencing the upcoming Five Year OCS Drilling Plan for 2017-2022; 2) Opposing federal legislation that would expand offshore drilling into new areas; 3) Opposing proposed seismic exploration for oil and gas resources off the Mid- and South Atlantic coasts; 4) Supporting state and federal moratoria on offshore oil and gas development; 5) Participating in Hands Across the Sand events to demonstrate grassroots support for protecting our coasts from offshore drilling. (Photo Credit: Angie Gustavson: Volusia-Flagler Chapter) More Information For decades our coasts were protected from offshore oil drilling.
