Privacy and security, that’s what. As the war on drugs heated up, growers sought refuge indoors under lights. Traditional, later-maturing, tall and sparse narrow-leaflet sinsemilla varieties proved challenging to grow indoors, and shorter, faster-maturing hashish plants with dense flowers offered a seemingly perfect solution. Hashish x sinsemilla hybrids, paired with high-intensity lighting, became the unstoppable force that spread urban cannabis cultivation worldwide. This is where the modern “OG Kush” story begins.

This year, our daughter and her husband will celebrate their first Christmas as newlyweds. We pray that they will someday get to look back at a lifetime of happy memories just as we do!

Though Sinclair has never been told directly that she wasn’t right for a role because of her race, her gorgeous curly hair, or her body, she gets the message in one way or another. When I ask her directly if she’s ever been rejected for a role because of her looks, she pauses for a long moment. "How much do I talk about this?" she asks herself aloud, then sighs like she is suddenly very tired.

We are pleased to introduce the third installment of our inaugural venture into fiction with Donald McPhedran Gibson’s Aqaara, the second book of a speculative fiction trilogy Umiariak, chronicling a trans-generational journey to a distant planet. Set in the present day, Gibson’s work reflects on what awaits in our inevitably entangled future. A separate glossary covering some of the terms may be found at the bottom of Part One. Installments of Aqaara will appear every Tuesday on Outer Places. Part Two can be found here.Dee lay still, staring sideways along the floor of her apartment, Icarus’ hind paw stretched in front of her, and absently reached for her Bearing and opened Fly Thru. The trick was anticipating the next thing, knowing which side to move next, get her flying monkey girl over the precipice, across the tree tops, shooting the gaps, down the ice fields, passes and valleys, deep into the canyon and then the subterranean world. She was good at Fly Thru – no longer crashing into the crevasses, her winged suit shredded off – and had hit a new high of 16.7 million, Level 29. Soon she would make it out of the stalactite maze and see what was on the other side. Not this time though; she had clipped off the glacier, barely out of the Level 3, her over-confidence and stupidity letting the little monkey girl down again. She was going to start it again and did, the monkey gliding up and down, anxious for another chance, but scrolled through the Bearing updates instead, pausing at the Ethi program, scrolling the questions again, and then back to the news, Chantal delighting over the highlights of the upcoming Lunar Film Festival at The Mazu – American Werewolf in London, Moonstruck and Moon – a zero gravity dance at The Whole and a techno-happening at Zaha’s Sortavut. There had been five births in the first month on board, and still just the one death. Eggplant was the favorite food, just beating out kiwis. The Whole – a center for meditation – was the most highly used orb, followed by The Course – for physical fitness. All adult males had attended their first three sessions at Odysseus – a training facility reminiscent of the Spirit Quests they had done on Earth; the adult women were beginning now. And then there was The Hive, offering rapturous experiences, the womb-like calm needed for sexual surrender; it had grown in popularity almost as fast as they approached Hawking Speed. Hawking Speed was a fifth of light speed – or .24 ls as they called it; they were aiming for a cruising speed of four times Hawking – Hawking 4x – by the end of one Earth Year (EY).

Billet. A metal in a semi-finished solid metal condition in a longer bar shape or form that was either directly cast or rolled from larger sections. This metal shape has either a round or square cross section, typically between 16 square inches and 50 square inches in size. The metal is then generally hot rolled into finished “long products,” including bars, channels, rods, and tubes.

Every year since, I say the same thing when that ornament goes on our tree: “I bet we are the only ones in the whole Roanoke Valley with an Alcatraz ornament on their Christmas tree.”

future cash outflows using the Ryan ALM Above Median Curve as of the measurement date. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, salary increases, the projected mortality of participants and the current level and the projected retirement age. In the event that further changes in the key assumptions are required, the future amounts of the employment benefit costs may be affected materially.
