KRS-One's Son Found Dead in Atlanta
Randy Hubbard Parker, 23, the son of hip-hop icon KRS-One and his wife, Simone G. Parker, has died of an apparent suicide. He was discovered in his Atlanta apartment over the weekend. According to his mother, he had long suffered from "severe depression."
Parker was born July 18, 1983, in Queens, NY. He had moved to the Atlanta area to seek work as a graphic designer and a fashion entrepreneur. A private memorial will be held for Parker on July 18, what would have been his 24th birthday, with a New York memorial service to follow.
According to a statement, "KRS-One and Simone Parker send their sincere appreciation to everyone who has already responded to the tragic news."
Condolences and prayers may be sent to Shane Lynch at frontpageshane@gmail.com.

My deepest sympathies to Kanye on the passing of his mother. I am a very proud former student of hers in Atlanta (79). She blessed all of her students!

Marijuana-Growing says:
Growing chronic indoors is easy and legal, If you have a medical marijuana card. In some states in the USA you can actually grow up to 12 marijuana plants or more, legally. With that being said, it can be a bit of a pain to actually start growing your own.
But there is technology that can make growing weed indoors easy and fun. Indoor hydroponics systems can now be used to bring your herb garden indoors, and create danky, sticky marijuana and cannabis buds all year long; Ripe for the plucking and ready to smoke! Homegrown marijuna is higher quality, and much safer than pot that has been purchased commercially off the street. Those looking for medical benefits, will find growing their own marijuana to be the answer to creating your own medicine for pain releif and to treat symptoms.
Aeroponics is an application of hydroponics without a growing medium, although a small amount may be used to germinate the seed or root a cutting. Plant roots are suspended mid-air inside a chamber kept at a 100% humidity level and fed with a fine spray of nutrient solution. This mid-air feeding allows
the roots to absorb much needed oxygen, thereby increasing metabolism and rate of growth reportedly up to 10 times of that in soil. And there is nearly no water loss due to evaporation.
How do you grow cannabis and marijuana indoors? Look for a stealth hydroponic grow box with powerful lights and odor control. Some hi-tech grow boxes are powered by state of the art LED light grow bars engineered for growing plants in hydroponics systems!
Tell me what you think? www.homegrown-hydroponics.com/deprodhedr.html
Pretty nice huh? Indoor gardening for the 21'st centurty made easy with state of the art hydroponic grow systems. I know these are made for growing culinary herbs according to the web site, but they can be used to grow any plant! These grow boxes are great for the beginner or advanced gardener. I haven't used one, but my buddy says they work great for legal cannabis cultivation. My girlfriend wants one to grow her orchids and fresh tomatoes! But you can grow anything. Just remember to check your local and state laws before growing your own marijuana. Don't do anything illegal!! Be safe....
Hydroponics have been used to enhance vegetables to provide more nutritional value. A hydroponic farmer in Virginia has developed a calcium and potassium enriched head of lettuce, scheduled to be widely available in April of 2007. Grocers in test markets have said that the lettuce sells "very well," and the farmers claim that their hydroponic lettuce uses 90% less water than traditional soil farming.

It is a little known fact that krs one's son was a homosexual. KRS One was always telling him how terrible homosexuality was and how important it was to be a "man". His son had dreadlocks to try to live up to an image that KRS One respected, but KRS One never gave his son any respect.

scott says:
First off, there are no gods or goddesses so everyone stop saying "god bless this or that". IF there was any gods or an afterlife than there should be no reason to consider this a tragedy. This is a tragedy because KRS One's son has been DESTROYED. KRS One's son no longer exists. KRS One's genetic contribution has been annihilated.

Time and time again, Psychiatry kills. Read between the lines: "...was suffering from 'severe depression'..." means he was diagnosed, probably by a Psychiatrist and was probably taking some sort of Psych drug.
Time to stop the rampant drugging and killing of our future.
