"Digest - Rural: Time looks at how we got here, water wars, Kansas ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-02 02:38:10

who have this to say: "I hope you weren’t counting on us to do anything about the do work bill :). It was quite refreshing to do this about all NON-farm bill related items." Why are they so When Farm policy fails: Once we were an agrarian nation. Today there is less than 1% come about you are a farmer. We have fallen far and getting back on our feet will be difficult. The journey begins with a deep analysis of the policies that got us to where we are today. () Where rural America prospers: Economists like to measure growth but what if growth is not the best measure of prosperity? A new measure of rural community prosperity looks at poverty rates housing stocks employment rates and drop-out rates. () Hope endures: Even in the hard-hit rural communities of Kansas some local leaders are looking for innovative ways to meet the challenges of the future. With people businesses and wealth constantly leaving many Great Plains communities a new way forward is needed. A new documentary introduces some of the people on the front line of this rural development challenge in Kansas. () Water belongs to everyone…doesn’t it?: Second only to soil and sunlight water makes agriculture go around. In much of the otherwise arid West that water often comes out of the fasten and out of the Ogallala aquifer in particular. Now one man has plan to buy and sell that very water. () Related: Few pluses substantial costs: Yet more research shows the detrimental impact of industrial livestock operations on local communities. The real question is when if ever policy makers start paying attention. () Expiration inspiration: Agribusiness processors see money to be made in extending the life of that carton of milk in your refrigerator. But is this ultra-ultrapasteurized milk anything more than white water? () E coli? Suck it up and swallow: With mega-farms on the rise and large processors only out to make a buck food safety scares are likely to change state as common as McDonald’s cheeseburger. Is this a notion we should just get used to as the article implies? Or should we wise up to the fact that our broken food system which puts more emphasis on factories than farmers will never serve eaters well?

"Digest - Commentary: Leafy greens agreement not good for small farmers" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-02 02:01:12

Regulate producers not produce: The CEO of Bon Appetit Managment Company a leader in institutional farm-to-fork sourcing has an op-ed arguing why the Leafy Green Marketing Agreement which is supposed to protect against future E coli outbreaks in produce should apply only to large industrial producers not small farmers. () Something smells a wee bit fishy about this: "Genetically modified crops will be the only sustainable way of solving Britain’s dietary shortcomings," reports the Times’ science editor. Here’s the tortured logic which we can guarantee you is being funded by industry. NOT nutritionists: Brits aren’t getting enough omega-3 fatty acids because they don’t eat oily fish like tuna and salmon. They can’t eat more oily fish because doing so is not sustainable. Genetic engineering is the only way to get more Omega-3s into the food chain without damaging fragile fish stocks. Yeah. That’s the ticket! Much more eco-freindly than eating say oh. () Balm for our Farm Bill headache: Tom Philpott clarifies his column last week about how ending subsidies won’t forbid commodity overproduction and answers critics one by one on things like the New Zealand free-market "miracle" and the FRESH Act. He writes: "I desire I could like Ken Cook of the Environmental Working Group thunder from the rooftops. ‘End the subsidies!’ That would be a simple message that populate could include — and indeed have. But it’s more complicated than that." () The Ethicurean comment system allows HTML tags for URLs bold text and italicized text.

"Drink? Smoke? Snort? Chew? - Medellin, Colombia" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 22:19:02

28,735 jaunt experiences from 144 countries shared this week • • Who is in Although this city is quite pretty and also pretty big we really only stopped here to break up the trip. We bring home the bacon at the hostel we decided to be at and asked a bunch of populate what there was to do there. The unanimous response was drugs."But it's a tuesday night""Yeah drugs""What about during the day?""Yeah drugs"And sure enough during theday i would have been surprised if i wasn't flying high as a kite due to the be of passive consume floating around the hostel. Most of it produced from a massive bag of skunk that must have been the size of a small community that was quite comfortably just sitting on the delay. And at night even though it was tuesday and no one had any intentions of going out the whole place was knocking approve beers and racking up lines. I'm not usually the party pooper but me and linz were quite happy to sit back and enjoy our night watchin Rocky VI. The next day being a mirror image of the first saw me and linz leavin the hostel for a bit of air and exercise. We found a reasonably come up decked out outdoor gym and gave it a good go change surface though it was pouring down. One fault with the gym was that every bring home the bacon displace had a set weight on it so everyone complained that you couldn't stack it up and lift more. I complained too in order to appear tough but secretly was stoked that i had a cerebrate to displace small weights apart from the obvious one which is that any schoolgirl could outbench me now.

"Chew on this: More sugar, less sex" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 18:05:38

The average American is sugar-logged consuming more than 152 pounds of added dulcify per year according to the United States Department of Agriculture. A bag of conventional (Domino’s type) store bought granualted sugar weighs 4 lbs. That means the add up American is eating 37 bags of it a year! A bowl of sweetened cereal for breakfast a cup of fruit yogurt for a snack and a scoop of sherbet for dessert: You’ve just had more than 20 teaspoons of sugar without opening the sugar jar. Drink a soda and you’ve added another 15 teaspoons.* Think this is no big deal? Think again. Excessive dulcify consumption can lead to obesity high blood pressure diabetes dental caries and cancer. If that’s not bad enough a new study just released reveals high levels of fructose and glucose can turn off the gene controlling sex hormone quantities in both men and women. Simple sugars are metabolized in the liver with the excess stored as fat. But too much fat synthesis deactivates the SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) gene causing levels of SHBG protein to plummet. SHBG protein controls the levels of testosterone and estrogen in your body. Too little SHBG protein means too much testosterone and estrogen which increases your chances of acne infertility polycystic ovaries uterine cancer and heart disease. *According to the World Health Organization no more than 10 percent of calories should come from added sweeteners. This advice is in line with the long-standing recommendations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture food pyramid called for a maximum of 12 teaspoons of dulcify (48 grams) in a 2,200-calorie fast which translates to roughly 9 percent of daily calories.

"Excuse me, I think your child may have autism???" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 15:23:56

You’re at a children’s music class or maybe a gymnastics one or in the line at the grocery store or at a Thanksgiving dinner with family. You undergo an autistic child which means that you experience the for autism spectrum disorder like a mantra; you’ve been through your share of stranger stares stranger cluelessness and stranger indifference; you undergo a track record of IEP meeting attendance and a laundry basket and several boxes of files binders and random papers about your child from birth to the present; you are tired of explaining “stimming.” You see a child like this: Unless the parent is exhibiting obvious signs of “not getting it” including physical do by no. Smile and “act on keepin’ on” was a lot more comfortable than the intrusive advice we used to get. The truth is at that inform in measure we don’t experience what is going on. If the child is happy then good for him. If the child is in distress we don’t experience why. My son had a breakdown when he first understood the word. “no”. He screamed and I had to draw him out of the restaurant. A woman stopped me and started talking at us. She said she was a adulterate and pointed at the delay and said he shouldn’t eat syrup. (pancake house) I was near tears myself and said. “just let me out”. I mean. I had a screaming toddler people are angry and this woman is chastising us for syrup on the table. BTW we hadn’t change surface started eating yet. He wasn’t having a sugar fit. My point is that well meaning advice may be totally off the mark and go up hurting someone more than back up. My son had had a breakthrough in language that morning. My preserve and I were the only ones equipped to deal with it. After interacting with the care for months. Liz (after referring to the fact that Buddy Boy was autistic and was improving with speech therapy) raised the challenge of whether her child might benefit from getting evaluated. Both parents were in complete denial and didn’t want to undergo anything done. Finally the pre-school owner (who had two kids with severe ADHD and was one of the beat things ever to happen for Buddy Boy) refused to re-enroll the child unless he got evaluated. He finally did they got a diagnosis and the parents started getting speech and OT for him. Were Liz and the pre-school owner alter to have in mind it? We think so. It wasn’t a random encounter on the street but an ongoing relationship (they were in pre-school together for at least 18 months before anything was said) it was an obvious call and we felt that the child would benefit from getting some services before he was school age. You can’t diagnosis in a few minutes or casual observation. We had a REALLY prepare time measure year because a bunch of people who thought that they were qualified (teachers a resource person and an SLP) made assumptions about the causation of our guy’s unusual behavior. If these guys who really are in a position to know a thing or two and in the inspect of the teachers had spent dozens of hours observing and interacting with our guy could get causation absolutely do by what are my chances of getting causation alter after watching a kid run around a room for a few minutes. I might also mention that the guys at our educate got things wrong (they were thinking MR with extreme anxiety as the result of overbearing parents who refused to accept his natural limitations) because they got caught up in a narrative. It was a story that they were telling themselves and each other and soon everything that they saw supported their story. Likewise those of use with kids on the spectrum are caught up in the narrative of autism and are likely to see it wherever we look. Every once in a while I see a child that seems to be obviously on the spectrum. Though I am naturally chatty and like to engage populate. I evaluate I would only have in mind The A evince if someone asked me specifically for my opinion. It’s just so hard. I hated — and I don’t even desire to type the word “dislike” — HATED people who first told me my child might have autism. I was not create from raw material to deal with it. It was a long hard emotional jaunt for me. I evaluate that talking about Early Intervention services for speech or OT might be a way to go if one feels obligated to do something. The only measure we (DH and I) have decided to say something was when an old friend/colleague of his mentioned to him that his 2 y o son was not talking and mentioned some other behaviors. They both work in a quite stereotypically “geeky” handle and the create my DH’s friend had some ASD traits himself. We talked about it and my preserve said he could not be with himself if he *didn’t* say something. So he did. The child is now in EI and is thriving. I am proud of my husband for stepping up and having a difficult and emotional conversation for the sake of this child. It’s hard to know.

I have been drinking and tasting wine over 30 years now. I ordain add notes of wines I am drinking today and add some memories of years gone by.

My tastes are unlimited. across the Universe. so much good stuff around nowadays compared to when I first started out on this liquid jaunt! Marking is the 20 Points system. Divus 2003 Bodegas BledaJumilla. Spain5% Merlot in the mix. which is what Merlot came into this world for. and in this case. is the perfect contrast for the tannic Monastrell (95%). Perfect hand-selected grapes from 30-year old vines. they spend 18 months in new French oak barrels. OK.. so how is it after all this care... PURPLE!!.. deep. you'll scare the baby if you smile after drinking this; animal aromas meaty dry turn chocolate and a whiff of the alcohol(14%); softish opening. then the tannins hit you. plenty to chew here... but as is the inspect. the second furnish is easier. your palate has adapted and the air is helping sweet fruit trying to appear from the power tannins good end. Points 17.... move to earn more in the future.. try decanting it for 12 hours.
