Risk Assesment for The obsessively minded grower

Came across this looking for articles on risk management--- This is how people who go to business school think about risk. How do you think about risk?  ----- Many applications for these fairly basic concepts that you probably already practice without labeling as risk management.  Perhaps helpful for organizing thoughts though

You know who gave a presentation last night at UCLA? The leader of the mosque built near the site of the World Trade Center attack.

I thought that was pretty shitty.

Anyways, do you have a bulleted outline in mind for all of this? It's a cool article, but it seems pretty stock, to me.

That's certainly poor timing. But, do you know what the speech was about? He could have done alright, before we jump to conclusions.

And the article is definitely stock. I guess I found it amusing to think about something like this in alternate contexts the writers were probably not thinking about. OR maybe so :shrug: it is in California after all

I didn't want to take your post too far off-topic, but I'd been writing this for another forum, and I think that it's worth checking out. There is a pretty big connection between UCLA and Islam. 
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
The Muslim Student Association has been having ongoing problems with the UC system. Especially at UCLA, with the highest number of identified Muslims, there has been a lot of tension between the students and the student body, per se.

If you've ever researched the Muslim Student Union, you'll see that it has ties to terrorism. That's just an intro.

Check out one article I pulled from googling "muslim student association terrorism":
http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/84.pdf
"'The Muslim Students Association has been a virtual terror factory,' said Poole. "Time after time after time again, we see these terrorists -- and not just fringe members: these are MSA leaders, MSA presidents, MSA national presidents -- who've been implicated, charged and convicted in terrorist plots."

    The roll call includes Anwar al-Awlaki, the al Qaeda cleric linked to terror plots from Fort Hood to Times Square and beyond.

    Awlaki, now a target for assasination by the U.S. government, was president of the MSA at Colorado State University in the mid-1990s.

    Then there is Ramy Zamzam. Before his conviction in Pakistan last year for attempting to join the Taliban and kill American troops, Zamzam was president of the MSA's Washington, D.C., council.

    Omar Hammami, a leader of the al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia, is another MSA alum. He was once president of the group's chapter at the University of South Alabama.

    And the list goes on.

    Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was national president of the MSA during the 1980s, was al Qaeda's top fundraiser in America and is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence.

  The MSA is a supposedly "mainstream" group that has long operated on college campuses from coast to coast. Yet a 2007 New York Police Department report identified the organization as an "incubator" for Islamic radicalism."

Also, here's a shirt I got from the Students for Justice in Palestine club at school (note the violent message, guns, head scarves, red, etc) ((I don't support their cause, I wanted proof of what's on the shirt)):




I'd suggest researching anti-antisemitism re: Muslims UC system, sometime.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************

Back on topic, yeah, I think that you have the right idea.

I, honestly, would like to see more people aware of the risks they're getting themselves into by growing mushrooms. I think that they are a harmless drug, and should only be used for legitimate purposes. People aren't always aware of the risks, though. They get into trouble when they get caught selling, giving them away, and other pretty minor stuff.

For instance, I use them about 2-3 times per year, and each time, it's to understand life a little bit better than I otherwise could. I think about work, school, people, being a better person. They've even used psilocybin in terminally ill cancer patients to help with coping issues and adjustment problems (this happened at UCLA, too). That's what mushrooms are for, to me.

Anyhow, that's my spiel. Long story short, I wish people could be more responsible when it comes to this hobby. It's not something to be taken lightly. Thanks for posting your link.

I'd be happy to discuss the Muslim issue with you, if you want, but I somehow suspect that the thread will be closed if it turns into an off-topic post like that.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of any of that. Looks like you've done your research.  I'll have to take a closer look when I have the time/inspiration. 
I don't find the t-shirt particularly offensive though -- it uses the color of Revolution, and the only thing I can read is an admirable revolutionary message-- I couldn't make out any guns (mostly peace signs), and head scarves are part of traditional dress in many parts of the world.  I don't think there is anything wrong with revolutionary rhetoric, it is what oppressed people must do to be recognizes when they have been ignored.

But that is a small issue, obviously there are a lot of questionable links here that people interacting with the University should be aware of.

And as for staying on topic, I don't see this thread going very far anyway, so I totally appreciate your tangent. I think that is a wise way to eat mushrooms too, those should be the holidays we get work off for

after a closer look at the picture  I can make out one gun. But also a dove symbolizing peace.
