New Smokers Each Year
Feb 19, 2012
Should pot growers, and smokers be regulated by the new EPA guidelines for CO2 emissions?
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/04/14/135415274/marijuana-not-so-green-study-finds-growing-pot-indoors-is-energy-intensive
A staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory studied the energy use of indoor marijuana growers and found it’s an inefficient and energy intensive practice. Evan Mills, who undertook the study independently, reports that:
— “Cannabis production results in energy expenditures of $5 billion each year.”
— The electricity use is equivalent to that of two million average U.S. homes.
— It accounts for one percent of national electricity consumption.
To put it in more real-life terms, Mills writes that one joint “represents two pounds of CO2 emissions, an amount equal to running a 100-watt light bulb for 17 hours with average U.S. electricity.”
these numbers sound like BS to me… what are they doing that uses up so much electricity? 1 PERCENT OF THE NATION?
sounds like pro-weed folks trying to fight to legalize it fudging the numbers…

Cigarette Smokers Problem $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The cigarette smokers problem is a concurrency problem in computer science, originally described in 1971 by S. S. Patil. Assume there are also three chain smokers around a table, each of whom has an infinite supply of one of the three ingredients one smoker has an infinite supply of tobacco, another has an infinite supply of paper, and the third has an infinite supply of matches. Assume there is also a nonsmoking arbiter. The arbiter enables the smokers to make their cigarettes by selecting two of the smokers arbitrarily (nondeterministically), taking one item out of each of their supplies, and placing the items on the table. He then notifies the third smoker that he has done this. The third smoker removes the two items from the table and uses them (along with his own supply) to make a cigarette, which he smokes for a while. Meanwhile, the arbiter, seeing the table empty, again chooses two smokers at random and places their items on the table. This process continues forever. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

The War on Smokers and the Rise of the Nanny State $23.42 From propaganda released by the Third Reich to legislation passed in more than fifty nations, smoking is one of society’s favorite targets. While the public goes along with persecuting smokers, Theodore J. King is here to tell us why we shouldn’t. In this book, which does not advocate smoking, King surveys smoking bans in the United States, England, and Ireland, documenting their effects on society and commerce. King interviews many people, including members of the medical community. King takes his arguments further, showing how and why bans on smoking extend to other areas of our lives-how smokers are only the beginning. Anti-smokers represent an agenda that involves everything from personal property to the way you raise your children, what you eat, and your right to freedom of speech. Authoritarians have willing accomplices in the press and government to take power at the individual’s expense. Learn how anti-smoking fanatics use tobacco control as an effective form of social engineering. King offers solutions so that smokers and non-smokers can be accommodated in a free society, where it must never be a crime to smoke in a bar, in a car, in the open air, in a restaurant, or at home. |

The New Year’s Quilt $3.95 As each holiday season approaches, some revel in welcoming the New Year ahead; others quietly mourn the passing of time gone by. "We can’t hold on to the past," says Master Quilter Sylvia Compson, "but we can keep the best part of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ in our hearts and in our memories, and we can look forward to the future with hope and resolve." As Sylvia, a late-in-life newlywed, has discovered, love can enter our lives at any age. Yet before she can truly delight in her present happiness, she must face the sorrow hidden in her past — her own role in the tragic circumstances that left her estranged from her sister, Claudia, until it was too late to make amends. Vowing not to repeat the mistake with her new daughter-in-law, Amy, who opposed Sylvia’s marriage to her father, Andrew, Sylvia must convince Amy that family is more precious than pride. As Sylvia takes up a quilt for the season, begun and abandoned over six years, she recalls the New Year’s Eve festivities of her youth at Elm Creek Manor as a member of the Bergstrom family. She titles the quilt "New Year’s Reflections," after her belief that year-end reflections precede resolutions. The quilt blocks she chooses commemorate the wisdom that no one can ever be truly alone if she keeps the memory of those she loved and those who loved her alive in her heart. "The New Year’s Quilt "is a novel to enjoy today and to treasure anew each holiday season. |

Tobacco Talk and Smokers’ Gossip $24.68 Originally published in 1884, this collection of notes and anecdotes has been gleaned from many sources. Not only novels and plays, old newspapers, travels and memoirs, have been examined or perused; but the works of poets and satirists, histories, acts of parliament, technical treatises, the accounts of early voyages, collections of tracts and tobacco journals, have been ransacked for contributions on the use and abuse, the praise and blame, of the "plant divine." For the delectation of all devotees of Tobacco; for those who take their Latakia from the seductive meerschaum, or Virginia from the clay; for those who taste the "naked beauties" of sweet Havana, as well as those who the "primrose path of dalliance tread" with a cigarette between their teeth; we have brought together in this little volume droll stories of the pipe, the romantic history of the snuff-box, odds and ends of Tobacco lore, and pages of splendid panegyric by nicotians such as Charles Lamb and Byron, Bulwer and Thackeray. Here too will be found pleasant gossip about famous tobacco-takers from Raleigh to Tennyson; not omitting the small sins of royalty, the backslidings of bishops (archbishops too) in this respect; soldiers and doctors, lawyers and artists, poets and peers – every one in short who is an honor to nicotian society, among whom one lady at least must be numbered – no less exalted a personage than an Empress |
