She might as well have three X's in her name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) She's not being charged with statutory rape, she's being charged with other crimes because she was in a position of authority. Like I said, that's bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I know several states have legalized medical marijuana, but I didn't realize that a few had full legalization (ie, including recreational use) on the ballot this fall. I wonder how that'll do. This article on Seattle's Hempfest talks a bit about it, but also how they're trying to organize the festival this year so as to be more "mainstream." Pretty interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, that's about as mainstream as it gets. I saw one poll that seemed like it would be pretty sure it would pass, but I have no idea as to its validity.

Allergic reaction to something? Sounds like it if it's the only symptom and you don't notice anything else weird. One time I had an allergic reaction to a sandwich and my fingers were really swollen. Didn't hurt, no other symptoms, but looked at my fingers and they were ginormous. It was odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Took some ibuprofen and the swelling went down within an hour or so. Really weird. Maybe I touched something and then bit my fingernail or something. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wow. More at link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19325756 Would you break your own toe to win a Paralympic medal? Would you sit on a sharp object or strangulate your testicles? It's cheating, but a scientist who will be monitoring athletes at the Paralympic Games says a third of competitors with spinal injuries may be harming themselves to boost their performance. The practice, called "boosting", is designed to increase blood pressure and enhance performance. It's banned by the International Paralympics Committee (IPC), but some researchers say these are the desperate acts of athletes trying to compete on a level playing field. "There have been times where I would specifically give my leg or my toe a couple of really good electric shocks" says Brad Zdanivsky, a 36-year-old Canadian quadriplegic climber who has experimented with boosting in the gym. Continue reading the main story Common boosting techniques Overfilling the bladder, by clamping a catheter Sitting on a drawing pin Use of tight leg straps Twisting and/or sitting on the scrotum Cracking or breaking a bone "That would make my blood pressure jump up and I could do more weights and cycle harder - it is effective." One British journalist with years of experience covering the Paralympics says he has heard of athletes using small hammers to crack or break a toe.
