    Frank's Bean of the Week - Girl Scout Cookies

    Girl Scout Cookies, or GSC, is an OG Kush and Durban Poison hybrid cross whose reputation grew too large to stay within the borders of its California homeland. With a sweet and earthy aroma, Girl Scout Cookies launches you to euphoria's top floor where full body relaxation meets a time-bending cerebral space. A little goes a long way with this hybrid, whose THC heights have won Girl Scout Cookies numerous Cannabis Cup awards. Patients needing a strong dose of relief, however, may look to GSC for severe pain, nausea, and appetite loss.

    • Bode Miller Sues Head USA in Comeback Attempt

      Just when we thought we'd seen the last Bode Miller gate bash, the former four time World Champion has announced his intentions to return to World Cup competition for one final go in 2016-2017. But there's more than a high protein diet and a few squat workouts standing in between the 38 year old racing legend and the start gate.

      According to Courthouse News Service, Miller has sued Head USA, alleging that his former sponsor won't let him even attempt a comeback unless he uses the company's skis.

      2006 Miller began racing independently with Head USA

      After a 2015 World Cup crash Miller retired

      A year and a half later, Miller is looking to return to World Cup action with his new sponsor, Bomber Skis. A Manhattan based luxury brand and artisan ski company of which he is part owner.

      Head USA contends that Miller's return with another brand is a breach of contract, an agreement that says that he cannot compete in a World Cup or World Championship event for a full two calendar years, as of April 30, 2015, according to the Daily Mail.

    • What the hell is going on at K2!? - New Schoolers

      Seth Morrison and K2 have parted ways after 24 years. That in itself is mammoth industry news. But set against industry background and rumour, the news potentially becomes all the more significant. The entire K2 marketing department has turned over in the past year or so and the rumours are they are struggling by with only a skeleton team at the helm. Seth has always been a figurehead of K2 and his departure along with that of their branding team might indicate a whole new direction or something more serious.

      At the same time, yet more rumours suggesting that Newell-Rubbermaid, who recently bought out Jarden Corporation are looking to offload the wintersports wing they inherited.

      The industry wisdom is that it in fact the $2.74bn Winter Sports wing, which includes K2 Sports, Marmot, Volkl, Marker, Full Tilt and Line and numerous snowboard brands will be the first thing to be offloaded or cut.
