Aurora misinformationus
July 31, 2012 - John Stack
Let's start with me saying I am not anti-gun. I believe in concealed carry (under certain conditions) and the right for law abiding citizens to own guns. My family has a long history of gun ownership for hunting, target practice, competitive trap shooting and the like. But the rhetoric after the Aurora shooting borders on the unbelievable.
The amount of misinformation on guns is astonishing. Much of it is just guesses that seem to become fact in the public realm. Others are incredibly twisted misrepresentations of the facts. One of the biggest delusions is that gun control (whatever that means) is not a deterrent. A favorite line is to say 'most all guns used in the commission of a crime are illegal guns". There's a good chance you have either heard this, believed this or said it yourself. But its not true. Any actual statistical backed report puts the number of illegal guns used in a crime at 10% to a maximum of 25%. Most guns used in a crime are by people who have obtained their guns lawfully.
One of the arguments is to limit large capacity clips (NYS has a limit of 10 bullet capacity clips). I tend to agree with this one. The counter argument goes something like this: 'The shooter in the Giffords affair had a number of 30 round clips. If he could only obtain a 10 round clip, he would have bought 6'. In the Aurora shooting, it is claimed the shooter had a 100 round clip. A gun right advocate said he would have had ten- 10 round clips if the 100 was illegal. Why is this accepted gospel. If a killer is firing off a semiautomatic with 100 rounds, when does he stop? At 100 rounds. With 10 rounds, when does he reload (giving victims opportunity to stop him)? After 10 rounds.
GOP Senator Ron Johnson even goes so far as to say high capacity clips are a constitutional right. He says 'any limit on the size of a clip is limiting our freedom'. Really? Limiting our freedom? How far libertarian do you have to go to feel that way? A speed limit is a limit on freedom. Stop signs. Stop lights are freedom killers because we can't just do as we choose. Not being able to set off fireworks in a closed theater is then akin to limiting freedom. If anything limiting guns is so limiting to freedom, why aren't these legislators lobbying to have the ban on machine guns lifted? I hear that just banning a type of gun just means that criminals will get the gun on the black market. How many machine guns have been used in terrible crimes? Virtually none. Many gun rights groups claim that guns are used as a self-defense measure 40-100 times as often used in a crime. They point to a federal study that says guns are used in approximately 2-3 million self defense measures a year. They fail to mention that the report also ripped apart that report for poor controls. For instance, one woman claimed to use her gun 52 times in one year in self defense! Once every week! Plus, the report extrapolated a small sample size to the country as a whole. In the study, they found all of NINETEEN uses of guns in self defense, and extrapolated that by sample size. Plus, their claim of what self defense can be construed in many ways – it didn't even take into account if the gun was used legally, if the gun was legal, if any crime was actually taking place, or if the person was actually in danger.
One measure pushed again is the assault weapons ban that expired a few years ago. While I can only see very few valid reasons to own an assault weapon (ie civilian versions of our AR-15 or the Russian AK-47 but semi-automatic), the ban would do probably nothing to help out gun violence problems. Why? Handguns are used almost exclusively in crimes, and the incidence of an assault weapon used in a crime is extremely low. It's a feel good measure to make people think we are making them safer.
I also say the least competent argument is the one that says 'if there was an armed person, or a whole lot of armed people at the Aurora theater/Giffords shooting' we could have stopped this. Bull. I claim it would have only been worse. The GIffords shooting was in a place where gun laws are very pro-gun. People could have had guns there and didn't. Plus, like Aurora, it was a crowded chaotic area. If you were nearby, in the crowd, what are the chances you would have killed the guy? Even trained police and marines miss – a lot. When its your turn to step up in a chaotic scene with your heart thumping people screaming, can you stop him with one shot? Probably not. Squeeze off 6 rounds. Oh, you just killed 6 innocent bystanders. Now there are other people with guns. Are you the killer or the savior. They start shooting at you, and you at them. Rather than 6 dead in the Giffords tragedy, 20 die. At Aurora, as the place was dark, and cramped, the shooter also threw in smoke bombs and was wearing armor. How many more would have been killed with a crazed vigilante firing randomly in the smoky dark crowd?
I believe in common sense gun laws. 10 round clips seem to be plenty for anyone to defend yourself. How about closing up some gun show loopholes? Why is it so bad to have to wait a day to pay $1200 bucks for a gun? Heck I research heart rate monitors for weeks before I plunk down just $100. Then I have to wait for it to come in the mail. I'm not for banning guns at all. I am though for common sense regulations for our 'well regulated militia".

Gluten Sensitivities May Cause GI Problems in Children with Autism
PLoS One
Date Published:
June 18, 2013
A subset of children with autism displays increased immune reactivity to gluten, the mechanism of which appears to be distinct from that in celiac disease. The increased anti-gliadin antibody response and its association with GI symptoms points to a potential mechanism involving immunologic and/or intestinal permeability abnormalities in affected children.

Buy from The Local Global Village!
That's right, buy from authentic farmers from wherever they are!
I'm sick of all this buy local stuff. This is pure marketing for local chambers of commerce. Reducing everything to it being "local" is both nonsensical and finally jingoistic. This is a country with a long history of Buy America First, anti-immigrant riots, racism and xenophobia. To now watch seemingly responsible journalists, restaurateurs and wine folks argue to buy "locally" as if they discovered the secret to eternal life is beginning to make me sick.
Europe has centuries of agricultural tradition and diversity that predated modern transport. It I take a car ride three hours north, south, east or west of my home in historic Poil Rouge, I land into a whole other world of cuisine and wine. Why? Not because of local farmers with PhD's who have set-up boutique operations, but because those separate cultures have a history beyond the phrase "carbon footprint." Those traditions have been there for centuries and are still struggling to exist despite standardization. But look hard enough and you can find them easily enough.
Local does not mean good. Local does not mean authentic. Local does not mean artisan. Local is a quantitative, not qualitative judgement. Thank goodness, my choices in cheese are not limited to what is made locally, let alone wine, produce, fish and meat. If it is good and local and the locals are accessible and need support than I am happy to support them. The important thing for me is what the quality of their work is, not where they are located.
I've had enough of this nonsense. Simpleminded calls for local goods and low carbon footprint miss the point, the more important thing is what is the local quality in each area. Of course, no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
alas, i'm having a hard time coming up with a country that doesn't have "Buy [insert country name here] First, anti-immigrant riots, racism, and xenophobia" as part of their jingoistic national psyche. and our history is only 232 years old, whereas we can all think of other countries have been at this sort of stuff much longer.
I agree with your sentiment Joe, although I'm not quite as angered by the "buy local" movement as you are. I do try to buy local when local is good, as it is here for many, many types of food. So I try to avoid most out-of-season vegetables that are grown here successfully. But if I was doctrinaire and strictly adhered to buy local, I'd miss too many good things, like great wine and cheese. In a parallel vein, a friend, who was involved in the Scottish film scene, said years ago when the Scottish government was pushing to create a Scottish film industry: what the country doesn't need is a bad Scottish film industry.
cage match between michael pollan and joe dressner? i'm betting on joe.
i always consult my local doctor! the sheriff
I think buying from local doctors tends to limit one's choices. Co they grow kohlrabi? Or purslane?
Good, 'cuz civic mindedness aside, Marechal Foch just plain sucks with a cherry on top.
too bad the local on the upper east side wanks so much. mebbe if'n you lived in the country joe you'd feel diffren...
It is about supporting community. We each have a sphere of influence and that influence does not necessarily have to be global. I would never limit my choices by excluding other locations that make great cheese and great wine, but I would rather first support my local community in the hopes of forming a friendship and possibly inspiring another local to carry the torch. The world is so big and yet so small. Your narrow thinking is just as bad as the opposite opinion.
Buy American!
my harpoons are from japan. the exchange rate is killing me. ahab.
Joe, are you saying, for example, that if Didier and Catherine decided that they'd prefer to make wine from grapes trucked in from Rioja, you'd be down with that as long as it was good wine?
Oh come on Joe, tell us what you really think:)
Thanks Hoke.
Boy, if you, the California resident, thinks the stuff in your grocery looks drab from long hauls, imagine what it's like here on the east coast where so much of our stuff is trucked in from your state. So, for example, I gorge on asparagus during the short growing season here, and skip it when it's shipped here from California or Peru. Ditto for green beans, zucchini (well, I don't gorge on that), peas, corn, etc, all of which we buy directly from farmers. And the same for California wines :-). I prefer mine to arrive by boat from the other direction.
local honey is an antibiotic but honey from far away is much less so.....its very important to support organic local farms over mass agro-organic + it is true that it helps keep the carbon footprint low so one can eat air freighted truffles, raw smuggled cheese, great wines etc.....balance but down with chemical food (and wine)

Well, I made it. I have met my goal to write a blog for one year. Last year on June 1, I hurried to Best Buy after work to buy a digital camera, then I hurried to the liquor store to buy ingredients for a Long Island Iced Tea Cake, and then I hurried home to start baking my first blog post. Today on June 1, I also found myself at the liquor store after work.
Anyone who blogs will tell you it is a labor of love. Never do I feel that more than when I spend most of my Saturday baking things that do not turn out. I cannot claim to be a better baker than when I started out one year ago, but I can claim to much more readily recognize the point where things start to go terribly wrong. Though there remains much room for improvement, I have rediscovered my forgotten joy in photography.
Throughout the year, I wanted to quit multiple times. I wanted to quit this week. I might want to quit next week. And I just might! Except I recently realized I'm not so much a quitter as I am a pauser. Sometimes I pause – which may look like quitting to everyone else – so I can gain wisdom or strength or rediscover what it was I enjoyed about something in the first place.
Though I often feel my posts are published into a vacuum, reason tells me that is not necessarily the case. I am truly grateful to every person who has read a Love & Flour blog post. Though I sometimes forget to respond in writing, I say thank you to every comment, every Facebook like, every Twitter follower, and even every criticism if the feedback helps me improve. I am grateful that though I may fail at a recipe or a photo, the words always arrive to fill the page.
Some of the posts have been really bad. Some of the posts I'm pretty proud of. I have very little idea of what I should do with social media. I have had a Facebook page and Twitter account since the beginning, but very rarely have I updated them with anything more than links to my posts. It will probably be a long time before I initiate conversations on Facebook (I rarely post status updates my personal page), but I have recently started Tweeting*. You can thank (or curse) Instagram for that.
So now what? I want to take the time to improve my photography. I want to learn more about baking. I want to improve the look of the website – I've never liked pink, and the recipe page is in desperate need of an overhaul. I want to do more series!
For the year ahead, I am going to focus on a flavor per month. As this idea expands, I may also focus on a technique, like whipping egg whites into posts about angel food cakes and meringues. My goal is no less than four (an average of one post per week seems reasonable) recipes that focus on the month's flavor theme. If any one would like to suggest a flavor, please feel free to leave a comment letting me know.
I have been thinking of what to make for my one-year blog post** since February. Is this an anniversary or a birthday? I leaned towards birthday and an elaborate cake. But I simply have not been in the mood to bake. The answer to what I should post today appeared in the form of a Birthday Cake Batter Martini.
On a final note, does anyone else find it fitting my blog shares its first birthday with National Donut Day? (National Donut Day is always the first Friday in June). If ever there were a sign to continue…
*Tweeting is a bit awkward. When I talk to myself, I don't expect a response. But when I tweet, which I find is really just like talking to an invisible audience, it becomes readily apparent that no one is paying me any attention. Awkward…
**For anyone paying close attention, I consider the May 31 post a prologue.
- 1 ounce amaretto

Last year, the New Jersey Storm swept the Columbus Landsharks in the season series. Tonight, Columbus (3-0) exacted some revenge by defeating the New Jersey Storm 10-9 in their home opener, in a National Lacrosse League game at Continental Airlines Arena. The Storm led 9-7 entering the fourth quarter, but were shut out in the final period.
The Storm (1-1), who remain in second place behind Colorado in the NLL?s Eastern Division, will return home on Friday, January 10th to take on the New York Saints.
Forwards Brian Bendig (2G, 2A) and Mike Benedict (3G, 1A) led the Storm offensively. Defenseman Dan Chemotti also chipped in a goal and two assists.
Columbus forward Jon Harasym scored the game-winner at 1:34 of the fourth quarter, while Dan Dawson headlined the Landsharks offense with a four-point performance (3G, 1A).
Storm net minder Derek General suffered the loss in goal despite a 46-save performance, while across the turf Mike Miron recorded the victory stopping 34 shots for Columbus.
The two clubs will meet again on Friday, February 14th at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
Notes: Prior to tonight?s contest, 12-year veteran and Storm defender Gordon Purdie was honored by the Storm?s Governor Chip Santye in an on-field ceremony for playing in his 100th career professional indoor lacrosse game.

A woman is in custody after a family member was concerned for her welfare. Nevada County Sheriff Keith Royal says a brother was concerned because his sister was heavily intoxicated and near a gas station Friday night. The Sheriff says each of the gas stations in Penn Valley was checked. The woman was located in the brush near the Chevron station on Pleasant Valley Road.
"Checking the area heard some moaning from some bushes near the station and checking further found the individual we were looking for, and apparently she did appear to be heavily intoxicated. When asked how much she'd had to drink, she said 'two beers' and apparently they must have been very large beers."
The Sheriff says the woman was taken into custody for being under the influence. The Sheriff says had the brother not been concerned the results could have been very different.

Washburn (Wisconsin)
The city of Washburn is settled on the shore of Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay in northern Wisconsin. With multiple outdoor recreational opportunities, a spectacular cultural life, and a relaxed atmosphere, Washburn is a great place for retiring, raising children, and a spectacular place to visit.
Get in[edit]
With the recent addition of numerous passing lanes between Ashland and the Twin Ports, the impact of the lack of any 4-lane highways in and out of town (save for a small stretch of U.S. 2 and WI 13 west of town) has been lessened somewhat. The major routes to the city include:
- From the west, U.S. Highway 2 via Iron River (27 miles), Superior (65 miles) and Duluth, MN (70 miles). Also connecting to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul via Interstate 35 (215 miles).
- From the north, WI Highway 13 via Washburn (11 miles) and Bayfield (23 miles)
- From the east, U.S. Highway 2 via Ironwood, MI (38 miles) and Michigan's Upper Peninsula
- From the south, WI Highway 13 via Mellen (24 miles) and Park Falls (60 miles)
Get around[edit]
Take the Bart bus, or you could just walk because everything is by each other. You also can bike around. You could boat or canoe out to island or nearby towns. Most likly you would want to bring your own car because travel would be faster and easy.
The many murals that Ashland's artists have painted on the side of landmark buildings.
Lake Superior. It's the biggest fresh water lake in the world (by surface area).
The local parks. There are several parks in town with beautiful views. More info at http://www.ashlandbaydays.com/Website/Parksnbeaches.pdf
Ashland is a gateway to year-round outdoor recreation. There's inland and Great Lakes fishing and boating, hunting, hiking, cross-country and downhill skiing, snowmobiling and dog sledding, and more seasonal festivals in the area than you can shake a stick at.

I got the contract on the strength of James' recommendation
When I first encountered James in 2007, he casually mentioned that I might know one or two of his clients ... then reeled off a list of all the most impressive people I had ever worked with or for. He arranged an interview for me with an Insurance sector consultancy, my future employer. He said simply that he had already recruited 3 people through James, and they had all proved to be excellent. In effect, I got that contract on the strength of James' recommendation. It helps that he has been an MSBI specialist for years, so he understands SQL Server BI/DW projects better than any other recruitment consultant I've worked with (better than some of the project managers, come to that). That means that when he describes a role, instead of just the usual tick-list of software packages and buzzwords, I get a meaningful job spec plus useful background info on the company, the project and some of the people I'd be working with. After 10 years of contracting, using a bunch of different agencies, I know that's exceptional.

I would unreservedly recommend working with Ammonite Group
Right from the start, Ammonite Group impressed me with their efficient, professional manner - an approach that not only inspired confidence, but generated the results both I and the client were looking for. They demonstrated a through manner in interviewing me and ensuring that roles were relevant too the skills I have. This attention to detail helped place me with a client who has been delighted with the service received. My association with the client has now involved multiple engagements over the last 5 years. This relationship was made possible by the professional and diligent attitude of Ammonite and I would unreservedly recommend working with Ammonite Group.
- Jason Aubrey Independent MS Expert
One of the few agencies that really have a grasp of the BI market
I have worked with James Proctor of Ammonite Group several times and as a busy freelancer I value the way he makes the effort to understand my market niche and level of expertise and is selective about the sort of contracts about which he approaches me. I know that when he puts my name forward to a client there is a good chance of landing the contract because he is very good at narrowing the field of candidates to those that are a good match for the client's requirements. He is, and Ammonite Group are one of the few agents/agencies that really have a grasp of the Business intelligence market and his longevity is testament to that.
- John Harrison Independent MS BI Professional
Ammonite Group are a contributor rather than just a facilitator
Having worked with James, including at Ammonite Group both as client and candidate for a number of years now, I have always been impressed by his willingness to work towards the best outcomes for everyone involved in the recruitment process. He achieves this by being open with all parties and by showing a great deal of creativity and goal orientation in distilling down the priorities and salient points of the requirement and matching the right candidate to the role.
- Hasnain Rajpal Programme Manager BT Global Services
Extremely knowledgeable of a wide variety of BI tools and DW
The depth of James's experience, particularly within the BI & SQL Server industries enables him to quickly source high quality candidates. The level of confidence this inspires makes for a strong business partnership, something that dates back over 10 years. James and his team are always my go to agents for any form of recruitment and I looking forward to building further upon our excellent business relationship and sourcing further high caliber candidates.
- Grant MacLeod Head Of Technology - AOL
Professional and willing to go the extra mile
I have had the pleasure to have had dealings with James over a number of years and have always found him to be professional and willing to go the extra mile to help me secure my next position. He checks and makes sure that the client and I am a good match therefore reducing wasted effort on both sides, which is particularly important for myself as a contractor. I'm looking forward to continuing working with James and I always contact him when I become available

Reps. Griffin and Dold: Cut F-35 Alternate Engine Program
February 14, 2011
Kenneth Ryan James, (202) 225-2506
Reps. Griffin and Dold: Cut F-35 Alternate Engine Program
Freshmen back Obama's call to eliminate alternate engine for Joint Strike Fighter, Seek support from colleagues
WASHINGTON – Congressmen Tim Griffin (AR-02) and Robert Dold (IL-10) today announced they have authored a letter to President Barack Obama supporting his call to eliminate the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) alternate engine program.
The letter to President Obama will be sent later this week. Reps. Griffin and Dold are seeking fellow Members to add their names in support of this effort to trim wasteful defense spending.
"The JSF's alternate engine program is redundant, unnecessary to our nation's defense, and wasteful to the tune of an additional $2.9 billion we don't have," said Griffin, a member of the House Armed Services Committee. "Both Presidents Bush and Obama have called for the elimination of this program, as have our military commanders. We must eliminate wasteful spending wherever we find it and demonstrate that we are serious about getting our fiscal house in order."
"Spending an astounding $2.5 billion on a program that is unwanted and unnecessary is a violation of the trust the American people have placed in their Congressional representatives. This is an easy budget cut that needs to be implemented quickly. The taxpayers are fed up with their money being spent in this manner," said Dold, a member of the Financial Services Committee.
The text of the Griffin/Dold letter is as follows:
February 14, 2011
The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President,
We write in support of your and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' call for the elimination of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) alternate engine program. First, according to Secretary Gates, the alternate engine is not militarily necessary to our national security. Second, we recognize that the national debt is a grave threat to our economic and national security and, as a result, we simply can't afford it. The federal government must be a better steward of taxpayer dollars, and that includes the Department of Defense (DoD). No federal agency is exempt.
Each year since 2006, DoD has proposed the elimination of the JSF alternate engine program. As you know, your predecessor, President George W. Bush, opposed it. Our military leaders have stated that a single engine is suitable for the F-35, and we agree. The F135 engine has accumulated more than 20,000 ground test hours and 740 air test hours, and it is five to seven years ahead of the F136 alternate engine in development. Further, there are almost 30 U.S. military aircraft that operate with a sole source engine. In fact, the F-16 is the only aircraft in the history of U.S. military aviation with two simultaneous engine manufacturers. Finally, Secretary Gates has concluded that the alternate engine program "does nothing to keep us safe.." We agree. It simply is not necessary to our nation's defense.
As of FY2009, over $2.5 billion was spent on the JSF alternate engine program, and the most recent Cost Assessment Program Evaluation from DoD reports that an additional $2.9 billion will be needed just to complete development of the alternate engine. It diverts essential funding from critical military projects that keep our troops on the ground and this nation safe from attack. The DoD can build over 50 JSFs for the price of the alternate engine program alone. We must respect the taxpayers and their hard earned dollars. Terminating the alternate engine program is a step in the right direction.
We applaud your opposition to the JSF alternate engine program and urge you to maintain your veto threat of any bill that seeks to reinstate funding for this program. The American taxpayer should not be asked to continue to fund this program because it is militarily unnecessary and a wasteful use of extremely limited and precious taxpayer dollars. We are standing by to support you on this critical budgetary issue.

Futures Gain as U.S. Adds More Jobs in June than Forecast
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were moving higher Friday morning after a strong June monthly employment report and a day after dovish comments from the European Central Bank added confidence that the region's central banks will continue their stimulus measures.
Futures for the S&P 500 were gaining 14.50 points, or 0.9%, to 1623.50.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were boosting 134 points, or 0.9%, to 15,050. Nasdaq futures were rising 22.25 points, or 0.76% to 2958.75.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported nonfarm payrolls rose by 195,000 in June as the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7.6%. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters anticipated non-farm payrolls to have added 165,000 jobs.The report upwardly revised May employment numbers to 195,000 from 175,000. Helping U.S. stock futures Thursday was a surprise move by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi to offer forward guidance by the central bank. The bank said it doesn't plan to raise interest rates and that it expects key rates to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time. "In what was probably the most dovish press conference by Mario Draghi, the European Central broke with a longstanding practice," Natixis wrote in a research note on Friday. "Mr Draghi added a dovish touch by saying that the recent rise in inflation from 1.4% to 1.6% reflected mainly upward base effects, in effect that these may not last." U.S. markets were closed on Thursday in observance of Independence Day. European markets were mixed on Friday. The FTSE 100 in London was increasing 0.33%, and the DAX in Frankfurt was slipping 0.64%. Asian markets closed higher overnight as Japan's Nikkei average closed higher by 2.1% at 14,310. Hong Kong's Hang Seng jumped 1.9% to 20,855. The benchmark 10-year was down 12/32, lifting the yield to 2.55%. The dollar was gaining 0.13%, according to the U.S. dollar index. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email. Follow @JoeDeaux

Spinach as a Natural Ayurvedic Medicine
Published on Nov 22 2010 10:24 AM | Posted by The Editor | Health and Ayurveda | 14,613 views
Please help spread knowledge of Ayurveda by sharing these articles on facebook:
Spinach is an extremely beneficial and tasty leafy vegetable. Spinach is found in all the parts of India and it is cooked in many different ways. In some places, people cook it along with potato and eat it in the form of dry vegetable, and in some places it is boiled, grinded and cooked with onions, garlic, tomato etc. Whatever may be the style of cooking, spinach is a healthy food. It is also cooked with the leaves of the rapeseed plant (sarson). This combination is very delicious and makes the spinach even more beneficial and healthy.
Spinach is the most beneficial among the leafy vegetables. Spinach is a very popular leafy vegetable. In winters it is produced in abundant quantity. It is also available in other seasons. Cold and humid climate is favorable for the growth of spinach.
Nutrients Found in Spinach:
Spinach contains Vitamins A, B, C, Chlorophyll, Beta Carotene, and Sodium Riaphalebin etc. Spinach is cold in nature, but it destroys cold and phlegm. It also cures blood impurities and bile related problems.
Medicinal Qualities of Spinach:
Spinach is beneficial in the form of food and also it is extremely beneficial in the form of medicine. It cures many diseases. Most children dislike it and do not want to eat it. Most ladies also show disinterest to cook it because it has to be cut and cooked and takes more time in cooking. I would like to ask these ladies a very simple question. You are willing to stand in long queues in doctor's clinic, consume many harmful allopathic medicines and tolerate the side effects of these medicines, but you can't spare a little time to cook this highly beneficial natural medicine known as spinach?
Nature has provided different types of vegetables and leaves to remain healthy. This is an invaluable gift from mother nature. We should not dislike these leaves and vegetables, but rather we should consume these vegetables whole heartedly. Leaves and vegetables are medicines in the form of food. They cure us in some form or the other and always keep us away from diseases. Spinach is one such natural medicine. It is not just a grass or some kind of ordinary leaf. We should develop knowledge about the medicinal qualities of spinach. The herbivorous animals eat grass and are much stronger than us. Spinach contains iron in abundant quantity. Consuming spinach regularly cures anemia. The Hemoglobin quantity in the blood rises sharply, the blood is purified and bones also become strong. Those who cannot eat spinach or are extremely weak should consume one glass of raw or boiled spinach juice everyday. The soup of any vegetable or leafy vegetable is easily digestible. It provides instant energy to a weak person, as it is easily digestible.
Spinach Cures Dental Problems:
Consuming one glass of boiled spinach soup or eating it in the form of vegetable everyday cures dental problems. Soup of carrot and spinach cures the problem of bleeding gums. The gums become strong and the teeth last for a longer time.
Spinach is Beneficial in Urinary Disorders:
Spinach is extremely beneficial in urinary disorders. Mix the spinach juice along with coconut water and consume it everyday, this helps excretes urine properly. Some people have the complaint of less or excess urination after meals, this problem is also cured because spinach has the quality of balancing the less or excess urination.
Spinach is Beneficial in Respiratory Diseases:
Spinach is very beneficial in respiratory diseases. Drink the juice of raw spinach leaves and eat the raw leaves in the form of salad. This provides relief to patients suffering with respiratory problems. Spinach and honey cure the problems of throat, tuberculosis and asthma and remove the phlegm accumulated in the lungs. This gives energy to the lungs, so they start functioning normally. Spinach juice cures the burning sensation in the throat.
Spinach is the Best Medicine for Constipation:
Spinach is the best medicine for constipation. It works as a purifier of the digestive system. Regular consumption of spinach juice automatically cleans the digestive system. It easily removes the toxic substances present in the intestine and also provides nutrition to the intestines. It is very important to remember that constipation is a serious disease and leads to almost all other diseases. If you want to remain healthy then eat spinach everyday.
Spinach is Useful for Pregnant Women:
Green leaves of spinach are very useful for expecting mothers. The abundant quantity of iron is beneficial for both the child and the mother. Spinach contains vitamin A, which is extremely beneficial for pregnant women. It is very useful for increasing the breast milk. A pregnant woman should drink at least one glass of spinach juice everyday.
Spinach leaves should be washed properly before cooking. Spinach contains oxalic acid. Kidney patients should consume spinach with a little care. It may cause wind (vayu) related problems; therefore it should not be consumed as much in the rainy season.

Great prices! Fast delivery. I have switched
I was surprised to find your prices were conciderably less that my "Former" cigar store and the product was in stock. The icing on the cake was the free delivery. I used a Groupon for my purchase which was the engine that hooked me up with your store, even so the prices are still much less that what I've been paying.

Reaction is mixed in Ripley as voters decided Tuesday night to send their high school students to another district. YNN's Mark Goshgarian tells us how the decision has impacted the district and divided the community.
RIPLEY,N.Y. "I'm disappointed for the whole town of Ripley," said Ashley Pinzok, Ripley resident.
Pinzok had hoped her children would go to high school there. She voted no Tuesday night on a proposition to send 130 seventh through 12th graders to another district.
"We didn't get any specific answers on the tuitioning, what any of the amount would have been," said Pinzok.
Voters narrowly approved a plan allowing the school board to negotiate tuition costs with other school districts, and is working on an agreement with Chautauqua Lake.
The vote comes following years of declining enrollment and decreasing state aid.
While 18 teachers in Ripley will lose their job, the board says the move will help students succeed.
"It's a great thing for education in Ripley, kids are going to have much more options. Everybody was entitled to an opinion, I hope this gets behind us quickly and we support the new direction of Ripley," said Bob Bentley, School Board President.
As the debate continues over whether the move is actually good for the district, there's any ever bigger debate brewing over the impact it will have on entire town of Ripley.
"I think it'll have a very negative impact. I think its extremely detrimental, the town's been declining, we don't have a town board or school board that's been working to build it up," said Wanda Bentley, Ripley resident.
Yet, town supervisor Douglas Bowen says sending students to other districts will have a positive impact on the area, and may entice people to move to Ripley.
"And what's available for the students in the school system is very important to families, and right now the town of Ripley has pretty low property values," said Douglas Bowen, Ripley Town Supervisor.
Pinzok believes it's one more loss the town can't afford.
"If there's no school, there won't be a Ripley, I mean that's the only thing we have left,"said Pinzok.

Meanwhile is a comicbook by Jason Shiga.One day, Jimmy goes to eat some ice cream. Afterwards, finding himself in desperate need of a bathroom, he runs to the nearest house and asks to use the facilities. Then the owner introduces himself as Professor K, and asks Jimmy if he would like to help test one of his inventions: a machine that can travel back in time ten minutes, a machine that can read memories, or a box that can kill everyone on Earth.Jimmy says yes, and the results aren't pretty.Meanwhile is a branching storyline that unfolds differently depending on Jimmy's choices, and the bizarre branching panel layout reflects this. And most of these branches end unpleasantly: death, endless feedback loops, or the discovery of a very dark secret about Jimmy's world. The reader is pretty much required to read every branch in order to get the entire picture—and the one happy ending can only be reached by cheating.Meanwhile can be read here on Jason Shiga's website. Or bought as a book with full-color art. Or as an iOS app.Not to be confused with the tropes Meanwhile Scene and "Meanwhile, Back at the..."

Unless you are under the direction of a reputable, responsible, qualified and knowledgeable breeder, you should not be breeding. Since you have come to the internet to ask your question, I am assuming your daughter has no idea whether or not your Pug can mate. First off, your Pug is too young to mate to begin with. You need to wait until your dog is at least a year and a half, and a true breeder will only breed one the dam and sire are titled in at least one area such as confirmation, obedience, therapy, service or nose work. Second off, if your dog is abnormally small, then you should be taking your dog to your vet for a full work up. Brain damage can cause slow maturing, and in Pugs it is a common illness. Please advise your daughter to seek the advice of a vet and of a seasoned breeder. He/She will be able to help your daughter if she truly wants to become a real breeder, and a vet visit will help you determine the health of your dog.12/23/2014 5:10:13 PM
First off, no you should not be breeding your dog. She is too young first off and second, if she is so small compared to other Pugs, she needs to go in to see a vet. She may have a maturing problem, but either way, do not risk your dogs life. Contact a local reputable, responsible, qualified and seasoned breeder of Pugs in your area to get your daughter to study under for a while. He/She will be able to educate your daughter in high-quality breeding practices so that she can help better the Pug breed.12/24/2014 8:17:37 AM

First off, I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved pet is very, very hard. Even worse when they are so young. Unfortunately, the answer is 'it's possible'. Breeding is a very real life-threatening thing, especially when the dog such as the Pug breed has complications already. However, it is up to your vet to say what could have caused her infection.12/19/2014 4:15:58 PM
What you are seeing is the inside of your dogs rectum. It can happen when a dog pushes too hard to poop. Be careful, because if your dog pushes too hard, she could get a prolapsed rectum. Which means that a part of her rectum will be pushed out of her body and she'll have to go to the vet as that is very, very serious. Consider talking to your vet about adding water or soft food to your dogs food to add more moisture to her stool so she doesn't have to push as hard.9/8/2014 5:26:03 PM
The first thing to do is to trust your vet. If you don't trust your vet, then I would get a second opinion from another vet. Your pup's runny nose is a normal thing that can happen to some Pug puppies. Continue to monitor it and as long as the mucus is not yellow or red, then your pup should be fine. I could also shorten your play time and up the frequency of play. Such as instead of playing with her for an hour day, play with her for 30 minutes twice a day, or 20 minutes three times a day.8/31/2014 5:06:01 PM
I would highly suggest insurance for your puppy. It can save you a lot of money in emergency vet bills and is a great back-up you can fall upon when a big ticket item is suggest from your vet. There is no 'one's better then the other' pet insurance in my eyes. They are all good, it all depends on the level of coverage that you want/need and how much you can afford. Shop around and contact your vet, as not all vets take all pet insurances. Make sure the one you buy is taken by your vet so you don't get stuck.8/31/2014 5:06:09 PM
First off, trust your vet. If you do not trust your vet, then get another vet. Secondly, do you snore when you sleep? Yes? So is your puppy. Because of the facial structure of the Pug's face, they tend to wheeze, cough, sneeze, snore and snort in their sleep and during/after exercise. They can not help it. It is a natural thing or the dog to do. But as your vet said, if there is yellow mucus coming from her nose, or she looks like she is in distress, then contact your vet a.s.a.p. But other then that, cherish this time with your puppy, they grow up fast!8/28/2014 9:39:41 AM
Pugs and cats get along fine. There should be no worries depending on how territorial the pug is.8/24/2013 2:10:18 PM
The Pugs tail becomes curly when it gets a bit bigger1/12/2014 8:39:07 PM
The Pug's tail should curl when the puppy is 2 -3 weeks old.7/15/2014 5:35:47 PM
as long aS THERE IS PENETRATION THEY DONT NEED A SO CALLED "tie" IN ORDER FOR HER TO GET PREGNANT-YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE HER TO THE VET TO GET A VAGINAL EXAM TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE DOESNT HAVE A STRICTURE PREVENTING HIM FROM GETTING IN-THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR TO A HUMAN FEMALES HYMEN-YOU ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MATCH UP SIZE WISE THAT IF SHES TALLER THAN HE IS OR VISA VERSA THAT HE CAN REACH WHERE HE NEEDS TO GO-YOU MAy need to place either one on something to raise or lower them position wise-you can also try and hold him in place -generally its eaiser if you use 2 people as handlers-1 for each dog-if all else fails-theres always doing an AI at your vet12/5/2013 10:31:11 AM
generally the mateing time is on days 9-11-13 counting the first day of her heat as day1-breed 1x a day only -skip a day-then breed again untill shes no longer receptive-the only way to get a sure answer is to do a progesterone testing series starting on day 6-and every other day to determine her fertile cycle-as to what day she will ovulate on-we found out that our girl ovulates early and without progesterone testing we would have never known-we missed a few heats not knowing and finally resorted to doing progesterone testing-have the parents been tested for PDE and cleared?google it -its now being done on pugs to prevent the spred of this genetic devistateing disease-both male and female should be tested-you shouldnt breed 2 carriers as the puppies will be affected and this PDE will kill them-this is something new that just came out in the past few years -pug breeders should test before breeding 12/5/2013 10:42:53 AM

BROOKLYN (WPIX)—PIX 11 first introduced you to the group the Brooklyn foot soldiers last year, an extraordinary program that began back in 2001 with one big umbrella goal : to keep kids out of trouble while helping the community.
PIX11 first introduced you to the group the Brooklyn Foot Soldiers last year, an extraordinary program that began back in 2001 with one big umbrella goal: to keep kids out of trouble while helping the community.
The numbers speak for themselves. Ninety-Five percent of the teens who belong to the program graduate high school. We met Dominque last year, who just wrapped up her first year at Lincoln University.
"I want to be a detective," says Dominique, who graduated from the program and now volunteers her time as one of the group leaders.
While she is climbing her way to the top, unfortunately the crime stats in New York City are on the up and up as well.
In the beginning of July, the city saw 77 shootings in one week alone. Ninety-six percent of shooting victims are black and Latino.
NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says that most violent acts of crime happen in communities like Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. His comments last week that not enough is being done by black leaders had people furious, and Shakur saying take a look over here.
"I think violence and crime comes from a certain point of a person being idle," says Shakur.
Enter the foot soldiers. They are a small army of teenagers who are anything but idle. They arm themselves with brooms and hit Brooklyn streets, home by home offering to clean their properties to make them a little brighter and safer.
" I can have the fun I want to have, make the work happen and have fun at the same time," says Dawon Cuthin.
With so many broken homes, and less positive options after school, Shakur wants Ray Kelly to look at what they have accomplished a brand new living space for the kids and the community.
"It's designed to look like a nice living room, so they can have a home that belongs to them."
If you want to sign up to have your home cleaned by the Brooklyn Soldiers, they are charging just twenty dollars for the remainder of the summer.
