"Conscious outdoor growers have proved that careful curing periods in glass jars and occasional bursts of clean air can maintain potency better than indoor buds."     Nonsense, curing in glass jars is best? Do you have any study that shows or proves this? In what way was it better? What is the difference between glass cured and cured in a big cardboard box for several months? I have done both and glass sucks, you need to check for microbiological pathogens after a glass cure, you will find them.                    "When you drink different types of wine or beer, the end result is essentially the same: You get drunk.

A better comparison would be a White Vs Red wine, many people complain that Red's make the more sleepy vs a white wine, more like a NLD variety vs a WLD variety.

I'm calling B.S. First off, I've worked at some very nice restaurants in the area, and no one is pulling down six figures. Secondly, if you want to make waiter money instead of cook money -  get a job as a waiter. Just because I feel like I work hard, doesn't mean that I think I should be paid as much as the G.M. A living wage for all willing to work hard - absolutely, but equal pay for every job is just a pipe dream.

The point is that the voters do not elect the president. It is the Democratic establishment, rich Democrats, delegates who don't vote for the candidate who garnered the most votes, and, finally, super delegates who are rogues who can vote any way they want to regardless of the voter's will. This has to stop and the electoral college should be demolished as well. A popular vote for the president would be a good fix.

The socialism quote above and the numerous variations of socialism  operating  around the world, including the United States, illustrate the inexactness of the term itself.  

The Union of Soviet "Socialist" Republics and Germany's 1933 National  "Socialism" and Bernie Sander's 'Democratic Socialism'  all have one thing in common; the word 'socialist'. 

And yet, according to Gallup, a significant number of US voters will not vote for Bernie because he is a 'Socialist'.   And his 'socialism' isn't even close to being as radical as that of FDR.

There is one issue very lightly and indirectly mentioned in this article,  which has a very large effect to not only future development in Alaska but anywhere else in this nation.  Collier stated it quite well, "regulator is sleeping with environmental activists and nobody seems to care".

The EPA is one of several Federal agencies which are taking preemptive strikes against business and personal affairs, long before those entities have any legal authority to do so.  From closing established access roads, such as was tried with the Kantishna miners, shutting off water access and limiting grazing land for ranchers, prohibiting American citizens from "viewing" Mount Rushmore from a "public" roadway, to publicly denigrating a potential business way before any permits for development were ever applied for.  Under the original law, was when such agencies  became involved.  

This then becomes 'Rule and Control' by the highest bidder or by Dictatorial edict from the elite.  Not the law!

Riversong, please cite the SCOTUS ruling you believe most supports your claim that the federal government has the right to own more than half of the land in the State of Oregon? 

The Tenth Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." That plainly establishes a requirement for indisputable explicitness in the Constitution regarding federal rights. If there is a question at all, the tie — the uncertainty — MUST go in favor of "the States respectively, or to the people," NOT the federal government.

We now have a dead man and several imprisoned people because they dared to ask a reasonable Constitutional question regarding their rights and States rights, and their reasonable question has not been answered by the government. 

How many more dead people do you require before you will do the work necessary to amend the U.S. Constitution?

The French Revolution was a positive for the development of modern France despite the Terror, the endurance of the Castro regime owes much to the US policy towards Cuba, American anti-communism and the Cuban emigrés, and Russia in 1917 went one particular way but could have played out differently. People have a right to control their lives and those who thwart the people, when they are organized, indeed do so to their detriment. If you are so worried about popular revolution, make sure and vote for the Democrat that advocates for release of some of the pressure building from the extreme concentration of wealth in the U.S. in the hands of the global super elites.

So, Martin, are you telling us you invoked your grandfather as a virtue signal of your own working-class credibility, despite never having met him? How impossibly disrespectful of you. I'm glad your grandfather has passed; it spares him the heart-stabbing shame of an ungrateful, pedantic little snot of a grandson who would seek to ride his coveralls into righteousness. He deserves better than someone like you.

Our problem is similar to the homeless problems nationally: Mentally ill, substance addicted, rural in-migrants & under-educated chronically unemployable are the bulk of our park dwellers & homeless. Some are decades old cases who have either been ignored, cast aside or have avoided treatment by appropriate agencies.  Others are- sadly -  new youth with only older homeless as daily role models.
I support rapid response by community service patrols/police to clear the parks - for at least moments at a time. But CHANGE takes a larger perspective.  I'd prefer to see minimal-cost, sponsored & "controlled" year-round homeless camping areas in our City - jointly managed by the Muni and by the homeless themselves. Provision of a scheduled mobile meal-prep/delivery van; lease-purchase of a mobile military/emergency services showering unit; use of an on-site motor home as a center for various social services personnel to "do their thing"- ALL could begin profound improvements to our situation.

From january of this year: "National Rifle Association’s (NRA) New York state financial disclosure forms for 2014 are now online, and like past years’ tax filings, the documents provide a rare glimpse at the organization’s inner machinery. The group’s total revenues fell from more than $347 million in 2013 to roughly $310 million. Contributing to the decline was a drop in income collected from its members. Revenue from annual dues fell from $175 million to $128 million in 2014, a drop of 27 percent."

The NRA represents only 6-7% of all gun owners, me included, since little Wayno Whacko took control. Get rid of this scurrilous nut job and things might look up. When he described the police being "jack-booted thugs" Is when G. Bush and I both bailed.

I complain because there is plenty to complain about.   I was just driving home down the Old Seward and there is a panhandler on every corner at Old Seward and the entrance to Dimond Center/Walmart and a full-blown homeless camp, all sprawled drunk on the grass beside the road  a hundred yards down the road at the entrance to one of the car dealers.   There are "drunk" encampments, merely calling them homeless gives them more credit than they're due, all in the woods along the railroad tracks all through the Oceanview area.   I worked awhile at Cabela's and we called Friday night tweaker night.   Most of our regular customers were over the river and through the woods by Friday night, so all we had was the shoplifters to entertain us.   Every druggie in town descended on us to try to steal something they could fence or pawn to buy drugs.   The town needs flushing!

Let's create an industry that provides lots of jobs, like thousands of jobs, and then let's make sure it can export lots of stuff, like billions of dollars of value. That surely would be great! 

Oh yeah, that would be the commercial fishing industry in Alaska, which does supply many low paying wage jobs to many non-residents, who take most of their earnings out of state. 

Commercial fishing harvests and processes billions of pounds of seafood from Alaska, with an export value of $5 to $6 billion. Yet they produce no net taxes to Alaska, and are subsidized by the state. It is so bad now ADFG is going into the commercial fish business through cost recovery fisheries. 

Where are the journalists on this story? One of the largest industries in the state pays no net taxes to the state, ADFG is doing cost recovery fisheries just to keep the doors open, the seafood industry cries it makes no money on $6 billion in exports, and no one in the media says the emperor has no clothes?

The problem with the editorial and your comment is that it is myopic.  There is much more enterprise in the local economy than just software.  Even in software, there has been activity for decades with game companies and educational software employing up to hundreds back to the early nineties.  But beyond the tiny software industry tens of thousands are employed in other lines of work and new companies are starting all the time but without incubators or fan fare.  Software jockey's tend to think highly of themselves, but those of use who have started high tech manufacturing companies and such see the focus to be a bit misplaced.  The overall health of the local economy is dependent on a broad spectrum of activity far beyond software.  Software is a small and competitive industry.  Local focus should support the broader spectrum of new business including manufacturing, timber, medical, etc.

I think you are taking this too personally Mr. Donkel. 

The Sauds are trying to take back control of their market share that was cut into by other start ups during the oil drilling boom caused by too much demand and too easy credit.

Tallman's intentions were obviously not good ones and Larson acted within his rights to self-preservation to defend himself on his own property.  Larson does not seem the type to fit your so-called definition of a person "just looking for a reason to run around blasting away..." but he does sound like someone who was merciful in only wounding Tallman, not giving him a fatal shot.  There is no handgun epidemic -- guns are not an epidemic on their own. It's specific (often dumb) *people* using handguns that are the epidemic -- those often not registering their firearms, aren't trained, and often, running around only with violent intentions, not for reasons of self-defense.

Stand on any street corner downtown and see drivers breaking the law against driving through a crosswalk while a pedestrian is in them. You can also see them talking on their cell phones. There seems to be no law enforcement. I was told by someone who works for the city that this is due to a "lack of resources". I guess harassing the homeless to drive them out of downtown is a higher priority.

Do not put all smokers in with the ones who refuse to act responsible.

So the legislature will lay off hundreds of Alaskans- some of our best and brightest- to reduce the budget by $52 to $77 million.

But as an alternative, they could end corporate welfare for Big Oil and reduce the budget deficit by almost $700 million.

Or they could stop the giveaway of $7 billion dollars of oil per year and dramatically reduce the deficit and avoiding wrecking the lives of thousands of Alaskans.

It really is stunning just how much Republican legislators hate Alaskans.

Actually, Obama redefined turn backs at the border as deportations, thus vastly inflating his deportation numbers, so no one really knows what the correct comparison is. But essentially, no president has taken on this problem. Trump will be the first if he gets elected, and he will only need to use existing law to do it. But funding it will be the trick. If he finds a way to do that, and he might, he will have solved a problem no other president has been able to. But he has to get elected first, not an easy thing when running against a person powerful enough to keep from being indicted for obvious felonies that even the Director of the CIA, a former celebrated general, could not avoid for much lesser violations.

Can Ryan look his children in the eye and say he endorsed by his own and all of us a person who is the difinition of racist. Hope his children won't have the same beliefs. Parents are role models and Ryan if things are gone another way in the last election he would have been a heart beat away from being the President. So much for his future. He did however say he make a mistake once,apology accepted but has to act quickly but clear up this "brain fart"!

Something you may be missing, Elmore.  If a dog charges, people react differently depending on circumstances like whether they are accompanied by defenseless children, who can be eviscerated in an instant.  Any parent who would trust their child's welfare to the goodwill of an agitated animal is not a fit parent.   Interjecting yourself into the scenario, and claiming you would slam the door, or kick the dog is nothing more than Monday-morning quarterbacking, since you did not witness the circumstances.  There are a lot of hysterical commenters here who would rather see you face down a grizzly bear empty-handed, then blame you for smelling like food, or not following their bear-wise precautions.  I'm talking about the backwards-thinking people who commend killing the unborn, then over-compensate through fanatical defense of animals: a cowardly position which costs them nothing, and still lets them feel like Gandhi.

Fact is, Oregon "sits on a two-legged stool." Solely relying on income and property taxes, with no sales tax, is foolhardy. Then-- to an already wobbly position-- cut off a chunk of one of the legs (thank you, Measure 5)---- crazy!
But that's where Oregon's citizens find themselves.
So with citizens unwilling to pay any more taxes, and with an education and infrastructure system in dire need of funding, where do legislators turn?
Many of these corporations market products regionally, nationally, and internationally. The costs of any pricing increases, therefore, will be spread out over a very large population, not necessarily just Oregonians. In an imperfect system, it indeed appears to be the best alternative.

I'm nice enough to have approved your comment, Nick. I'm not afraid to debate the real "agenda" in America today—that we have more guns than citizens. The second amendment has been perverted by the gun lobby beyond recognition: which part of these constant massacres is down to "a well-regulated militia?"

He wants everyone to pay their way, but when the state makes the borough, city, or town pay its way, that is bad?  One way or the other, the costs either get cut or more taxes are ladled on.  I would rather it be my local government, then the state to be collecting the taxes.  If it is the state, then they have to take their slice before passing it along to local government.  If it is local, I have a say on how it is assessed and I am paying directly, not through a middle man.

_"arcane and biased nomination process"_

Right. This is the "arcane" process: Most votes = A winner! 

And this is the "inane" expectation: Sanders should be lifted above the voters because of your whining complaints.

Another propaganda rant from Suzanne Downing and the Alaska Republican Party. Nice to see that she's changed the focus of her personal attacks from Governor Walker to Hillary Clinton. 

She claims "many voters will take their chances with Trump....?"

Sure, just ask Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. 

I can't help but wonder why Ms. Downing failed to mention any of Trump's policy positions, like foreign policy (scared the heck out of everyone of all stripes recently), Muslims (ban 'em), women who seek legal safe abortions (punish 'em), Mexicans (wall 'em in), monetary policy (print as many of 'em dollars as you need), torture (kill the families after waterboarding), and federal lands in Alaska (keep 'em all in federal hands). 

I wonder.

Mary Ann Chaney - I'm a supervoter who is also a parent and I haven't voted for school bond issues in decades, not since I visited my husband's elementary school in New Hampshire that was built in 1879. It has been remodeled and refurbished. It's energy efficient, it has a computer lab, it has many modern conveniences. It's 137 years old. The idea that we have to replace school buildings every 30 years is ridiculous and it's time to stop that sort of waste.

We are in agreement. But what does it matter if one is dealt with before the other, particularly since the campus policy effects thousands every day, staff, students, and visitors, while the capitol might see a few hundreds a year? The perfect is the enemy of the good, it is perfectly valid to remove restrictions one step at a time.

That is, after all, how we went from no legal carry in '93 to permitless in '04. One improvement at a time.

Disabled people should be allowed to use electric bikes on trails.   I can't imagine a motorized wheelchair/scooter on the roads instead of the trails.   That is extremely dangerous...it makes no sense.

Non-disabled people who have other transportation options should be kept off trails with their motorized toys.

"Funny how ADN reporters fail to highlight things like the fact that after this ordeal, a Cordova Trooper paid for the victim’s 5 night hotel stay out of pocket (things like that are not unusual)..." 
but in the story it is stated that a trooper paid. 

See "According to Brandenburg, one of the troopers at the Cordova post covered a five-night hotel stay for him out of his own pocket."

What does what you write "...day before another ADN reporter’s headline about the shooting of a violent man with knives in his hands who rushed troopers after they try to talk him down, resulting in them shooting him to save themselves from being slashed is summarized by the headline “Troopers shoot and kill man on his birthday.” No bias there, right ADN?

Bruce: Thank you for your letter, it offers the most valuable perspective I can imagine.  I'm 73 and have recently witnessed the very "difficult" deaths of two good friends...One from ALS, the other after a long, "losing" battle with cancer.  Both men reached the point where they were in constant pain, needed heavy, heavy pain medication and had no "in between" time giving them any quality of life....either intense pain or drug-induced "sleep."

I strongly agree with you.  At some point, it's time to "wave the white flag" and end one's life.  It should be, as you say, at the stage of your choosing.  

It's a difficult circumstance, a difficult choice and a difficult topic for discussion.  Thank you for reminding us all that we need to consider it, and, perhaps, will face the choice ourselves.  We need the legal authority to do so.

my best to you,  Gary

"as the housing crunch is reaching crisis proportions." Correction. The Portland city council has already declared a "housing crisis."

Portland is in the PUBLIC HOUSING business. It is NOT in the David Douglas nor the Portland Public Schools business.

Portland MUST dramatically and equitably increase the density of housing by massive zoning changes especially in single family zoned neighborhoods.

Downzoning is NOT an option in Portland.

When you officially declare a "housing crisis" then you have to make political decisions that reflect that declaration. Downzoning and increasing property taxes are antithetical to increasing housing affordability.

It was not murder.  LaVoy fled, endangered others, and charged the FBI.  The FBI was forced to open fire then.  It was suicide by cop.  La Voy pledged to kill himself before  allowing himself to be arrested.  He did.

The Bundys and their cohorts are criminals.  They stole and damaged property.  They are tax dodgers.  They turned guns on Federal officers and threatened them.

The government bent over back wards to settle this peacefully.  they undercharged them for their crimes.  If a gang had robbed a bank and someone dies in the commission of their crimes, the whole gang is charged with murder-even if the gang weren't the ones to shoot.  That's the law.

I suggest you read the Constitution yourself, and Supreme Court decisions and American History to learn the real meaning of the law and not your distorted uneducated version of it.

See that's the problem. You only see the 1st and 2nd tier spending. From there the vendors you mention it spreads out, to the restaurants, the grocery stores, and on and on until we are ALL affected. If you work for a living this can affect you. If you don't work for a living, or at least don't work for a living anymore, I could see how you would be unconcerned about this -- good for you, glad you can sit there all cushy because you got yours and got out.

You say that like 911 is a sure thing.....

I saw a man, out my window, knock a woman to the ground, grab up a tire iron and begin attacking  her. I called 911 immediately, was on hold for too long while the man continued to beating her. When 911 came on they asked me so many questions about who was doing what to whom, and how many people were involved, and of what colors, what weapon, my guess about who they were to each other, etc. The man killed the woman while I nswered their questions. I said, "never mind, just send the coroner", and hung up.  

An ambulance drive later told me I should have called the fire dept.; a big truck with a bunch of buff professionals would have arrived without asking questions. May have made all the difference to that woman and her small children.

I have lived in Alaska for 10 years and I still find it so weird how people can complain so bitterly about taxes and state expenses when they personally do not pay any of those state expenses.  How can anyone conscionably argue to decrease school funding (from the state level) when he isn't providing any of that expense?  The level of entitlement in this state is just weird.

Entry on mental illness is added to AP Stylebook  May 7, 2013

“It is the right time to address how journalists handle questions of mental illness in coverage,” said AP Senior Vice President and Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll. “This isn’t only a question of which words one uses to describe a person’s illness. There are important journalistic questions, too... 

Do not use derogatory terms, such as insane, crazy/crazed, nuts or deranged, unless they are part of a quotation that is essential to the story....

 Avoid descriptions that connote pity, such as afflicted with, suffers from or victim of. Rather, he has obsessive-compulsive disorder....

Avoid using mental health terms to describe non-health issues. Don’t say that an awards show, for example, was schizophrenic. 
   
 Use the term mental or psychiatric hospital, not asylum.

Even Jefferson Davis the First Governor of Alaska, shot General "Bull" Nelson, crime pays best, in Alaska. Why do you think they sent him to Alaska?

General H.W. Halleck:
Brigadier-General Davis is under arrest at Louisville for the killing of General Nelson. His trial by a court-marshal or military commission should take place immediately, but I can't spare officers from the army now in motion to compose a court. It can perhaps better be done from Washington...
