CN BC: Column: Council Should Support Patients http://www.mapinc.org

Grand Forks Gazette, 27 May 2009 - Grand Forks city council said that they do not feel it is the responsibility of municipal governments to push for change in the laws governing medical marijuana in Canada and our province on May 11. Municipal counsellors represent their community.That community includes people of all ages, races, and abilities. In the past local councils have pushed the province to take action on many social and health issues by bringing forward resolutions to the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention. Just last year our local council took initiatives forward on youth centres, and drug houses among others. Resolutions brought to the UBCM require a response from the province, thereby, at the very least, drawing attention to issues facing the citizens of B.C.

Fandom Name: Rigel

DJ Style: CDs

Biography:

Day 37: I hope my messages are reaching Earth. My mobile is almost out of charge. They finally figured out how to open the luggage and found the CDs. They thought it was data, but the music changed their behavior - suddenly they seemed desperate. Their claws pulled at the tattered remnants of my shirt. I had to promise them more of it, but only if they'd let me go. The globe projected over the main console was focused on North America, the east coast. When I pointed to it, their tails became frenetic in motion and I could tell by the

It’s Still All About Me!”

(and a Fair Bit About the Outhouse Orchestra) Tour 2009

”Es dreht sich alles um mich! (und ein bisschen der Outhouse Orchestra)” Tour 2009

Mchtest Du nach Bosnien hereingeschmuggelt werden? Oder dich in Jerusalem vor den Kugeln wegducken? Oder von einem brennenden Gebude in Antwerpen springen? Oder wie wr’s mit ein/zwei Tage von den Beduinen entfhrt zu werden? Es ist alles nur ein weiterer Tag im “Bro” fr Adelaide Singer-Songwriterin Ronnie Taheny. Abenteuer nimmt sie mit Siebenmeilenstiefeln und mit einem Lcheln auf ihrem Gesicht. Anfang 2004 in die olympische Arena in Athen einzubrechen und eine Ehrenrunde zu drehen war nicht ihre bester Einfall, aber es scheint dass diese Stunts nicht zu unterdrcken sind. Taheny ist eine Schelmin, sowohl auf der Bhne als auch abseits davon, whrend sie nicht davon ablsst ihre jhrliche Europische Tournee als Ausrede fr

Rimbus - Un vite dit d'@rrt sur images attire mon attention sur un article du Monde qui nous informe de la future mise en place d'un nouveau code de dontologie pour les journalistes. De quoi s'agit-il ? Dfinir les droits et devoirs des journalistes qui seraient annexs la convention collective de la profession. En contrepartie, explique Xavier Ternisien du Monde, les aides promises la presse pourraient tre conditionnes l'avancement de ces deux dossiers . (…) J'ai comme l'impression qu'il s'agit encore de donner un coup de vis (vice) au contrle de la Presse…

Cocoon Recordings * cor0596 * Deepgroove + Jamie Anderson *  Humpty Records New Releases
Syndicated
Deepgroove aka Grayson Shipley + Lee Pattison from Bristol have crafted their skills at venues like Bristol's seminal Lakota, emerging with a sound that incorporates a hefty measure of eclecticism within a framework of deep and twisted tribal grooves. Never fearing to tread a different path when it comes to firing a crowd, their performances marry a healthy degree of contempt for convention, to an obvious reverence for the original precepts of House music. Using the 4-deck format, not as a tool for ostentatious displays of mixing prowess, but as a template for experimentation, Deepgroove throw everything at the crowd, embarking on sonic voyages that range from the sultry to the surreal, with the funk never being too far from the surface. Coming from a strong musical background growing up around jazz musicians in West London, Jamie Anderson also had a love for electronic music and the art of mixing records which has been with him ever since the early electro and hip hop days. http://www.humpty.de?id=47&aid
