  Do you want to grow your own marijuana plants but don't know where to start? If the answer is yes, this is exactly where you should be right now. You might be hesitant because you always seem to kill that houseplant you bought or have never actually got your hands in the dirt. Whether you've grown your own plants before or lack a green thumb, this guide will help you grow your own healthy marijuana plants soon. Once you are equipped with the information given in this book and put in a little time and effort, you will be able to grow good marijuana too. You will soon learn how to grow a superior product far better than most of what is available. If you want to grow vegan buds or are just looking to grow organic marijuana, you can try it all. 
  If you look at many studies, you will find that most commercially grown marijuana has traces of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. A lot of the strains are not dried and cured properly and are rarely flushed as well. How the plants are grown, when they are harvested, etc., will affect how good the marijuana will be. When you learn how to grow it yourself, you will have control over all of these factors. This is especially important for medical marijuana patients. Growing good marijuana will help you get the most effective benefits from it.

  Idiots at Work - Chronicles of...

  What's the strangest question employers have been asked during an interview? Among the responses:* What is it you people do at this company?* Why aren't you in a more interesting business?* Will the company move my rock collection from California to Maryland?* Does you company have a policy regarding concealed weapons?--from Idiots at Work: Chronicles of Workplace StupidityLeland Gregory once thought crooks, politicians, and lawyers were the greatest nitwits out there, but it turns out that the working masses are packed with the dumb, dumber, and dumbest humans on the face of the planet. Gregory's look at nincompoops, Idiots at Work: Chronicles of Workplace Stupidity, makes it crystal clear that the world's biggest jerks are on the job. Consider these examples:* The woman who sued Eastman Kodak to improve the lighting conditions on her job...in a darkroom?* The Ontario Federation of Labor, which installed a bad boss hotline to get a handle on labor problems--only to have the system crash soon after startup because too many calls came in.* The interviewee who wore a Walkman, explaining that she could listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.Gregory has made a career out of finding the imbeciles of the world and sharing their antics with the rest of us. His AMP humor compilations What's the Number for 911?, What's the Number for 911 Again?, The Stupid Crook Book, and Hey, Idiot! were all hilarious, but Idiots at Work takes the cake. The book is filled with hilarious tales of moronic managers, office idiots, stupid shareholders, daft decision-makers, poor planners, and other outstanding examples of cubical klutzes.

  The American Way of Eating -...

  What if you can't afford nine-dollar tomatoes? That was the question award-winning journalist Tracie McMillan couldn't escape as she watched the debate about America's meals unfold, one that urges us to pay food's true cost—which is to say, pay more. So in 2009 McMillan embarked on a groundbreaking undercover journey to see what it takes to eat well in America. For nearly a year, she worked, ate, and lived alongside the working poor to examine how Americans eat when price matters.From the fields of California, a Walmart produce aisle outside of Detroit, and the kitchen of a New York City Applebee's, McMillan takes us into the heart of America's meals. With startling intimacy she portrays the lives and food of Mexican garlic crews, Midwestern produce managers, and Caribbean line cooks, while also chronicling her own attempts to live and eat on meager wages. Along the way, she asked the questions still facing America a decade after the declaration of an obesity epidemic: Why do we eat the way we do? And how can we change it? To find out, McMillan goes beyond the food on her plate to examine the national priorities that put it there. With her absorbing blend of riveting narrative and formidable investigative reporting, McMillan takes us from dusty fields to clanging restaurant kitchens, linking her work to the quality of our meals—and always placing her observations in the context of America's approach not just to farms and kitchens but to wages and work.The surprising answers that McMillan found on her journey have profound implications for our food and agriculture, and also for how we see ourselves as a nation. Through stunning reportage, Tracie McMillan makes the simple case that—city or country, rich or poor—everyone wants good food. Fearlessly reported and beautifully written, The American Way of Eating goes beyond statistics and culture wars to deliver a book that is fiercely intelligent and compulsively readable. Talking about dinner will never be the same again.
