FPL Announces Plan To Accelerate Strengthening Of Florida's Electric Grid During Annual Storm Drill
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla.,
May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its annual companywide hurricane season preparedness drill,
Florida Power & Light Company today announced a three-year plan to continue and accelerate the strengthening of its electric system against high winds associated with hurricanes and other major weather events.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120301/FL62738LOGO)
FPL expects to invest approximately half a billion dollars over the next three years to continue to improve the overall resiliency of the electric system for customers. The plan builds on the company's industry-leading storm hardening initiative by incorporating additional lessons learned from Superstorm Sandy, such as those related to flooding, as well as from Florida storm activity in 2012. These recent experiences show that electric infrastructure that has been strengthened performs better in preventing some storm-related outages, speeding restoration times following severe weather and delivering better overall everyday reliability.
"If Florida were a country, its economy would be the 21st largest in the world, and business operations and residents' lives are increasingly reliant on computers, tablets, smartphones and other devices that depend on electricity," said FPL President Eric Silagy. "When severe weather strikes, it causes damage and produces power outages, so preparation is crucial. While no electric system can be fully stormproof, and we have been working to strengthen the grid and improve its resiliency for some time, the acceleration of this effort will help us get businesses up and running and residents' lives back to normal more quickly after storms."
The accelerated hardening effort being announced today builds upon the approved program FPL has been executing since 2007. From 2007 through 2012, FPL invested a total of nearly $460 million to strengthen the electricity-delivery backbone and harden infrastructure serving facilities that are critical to communities such as hospitals, police and fire stations, 911 facilities, water-treatment plants, grocery stores, gas stations and pharmacies. These investments translate both into faster restoration during major storms and improved everyday reliability for customers. FPL's experience with the recent tropical storms shows main power lines that have been hardened are roughly half as likely to experience an outage during severe weather. In addition, under normal weather conditions, hardening a power line reduces the frequency of daily outages by up to 40 percent.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I have heard that the sun has been more active in the past few years (maybe decade). Does anyone know if this has an effect on the increase in cases of skin cancer? If it does, then it would make sense whenever people say to use more sunscreen because the sun is hotter.

Green Right Now
Beekeeper Laura Johnson enjoys tending to her buzzing friends, but the real motive behind her hobby is stopping the decline of honey bees.
Bee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has been threatening bees, and the dozens of crops they serve, around the world for the past several years.
So Johnson, an organic gardener in suburban Atlanta, decided it was time to jump into honey.
It wasn't a great year to start. An unusually rainy season cut honey production for many Georgia beekeepers. And since Johnson's hive was so new, she decided to let the bees keep their honey this year instead of harvesting it.
"That's part of the reason I got a hive. I figure if we help the bees along maybe that will help. Without bees we won't have food," she said.
Johnson reasons that more bee keepers can help slow the decline of honey bees. And with scientists breeding stronger strains of bees, she hopes they have a fighting chance.
Right now she has one hive, but has plans for another in the spring.
"I'm trying to do it as natural as possible, with no chemicals," she said. "I was green before it was cool."
For example, she puts powdered sugar in the hive to get rid of mites and cinnamon to discourage ants.
Bee keepers across the US had a slightly better year in 2009, with honey bee losses slowing slightly in the U.S. over the 2008-2009 winter, when the most bees succumb to disease. About 29 percent of the domestic honey bees died from CCD and other causes, compared with 36 percent and 32 percent in the previous two winters.
While the year was better, losses of that magnitude are not "sustainable," according to the report by the Apiary Inspectors of America and the USDA.
Georgia saw a rough harvest this year, according to avid beekeeper and county cooperative extension agent Tom Bonnell. Honey production was down due to a weird confluence of heavy rain and heat. Bonnell's hives only produced eight gallons this year, compared with 15 gallons last year.
Like his fellow bee keepers, Bonnell monitors reports about CCD, a phenomenon in which the bees leave the hive, become disoriented and fail to return, leaving the hive to die.
Some experts believe Colony Collapse Disorder can be attributed to a virus caused by the varroa mite; others say the bees are being poisoned by pesticides that act on the nervous system. The bees are exposed to the pesticides while eating pollen in crop fields, and the neurotoxins cause them to lose their bearings.
Some believe another contributing factor to CCD is the way bees are used in commercial agriculture, with beekeepers taking hives large distances across the US to pollinate fields. This theory maintains that the traveling bees become vulnerable to disease and stressed as they move in and out of their home turf.
"About every 10 years something comes up and aggravates the honey bee," Bonnell said. "I think CCD is hitting the commercial bee keepers and not the hobbyists … (is) because they (hobbyists) don't drag bees all over the United States."
"Once you drag them from state to state you don't know what they're getting into."
Heightened awareness of CCD has led to an increase in the number of new beekeepers and bee clubs, Bonnell said. And that's a sweet situation.
"It can be a family adventure. You can look at that as an heirloom to pass down to generations," Bonnell noted.
Commercial beekeeper Billy Engle also relishes the practice of bee keeping, but has decided to downsize this year because it's too much work for his failing health.
Engle has operated Rose Creek Honey Farm in The Rock, Georgia for more than 20 years.
"It was not a good year for bees. Mine really have not died off like the previous two years, but I only had half a honey crop this time," he said.

What's Causing My Chest Pain?
In this article
Chest pain. The first thing you may think of is heart attack. Certainly chest pain is not something to ignore. But you should know that it has many possible causes. In fact, as much as a quarter of the U.S. population experiences chest pain that is not related to the heart. Chest pain may also be caused by problems in your lungs, esophagus, muscles, ribs, or nerves, for example. Some of these conditions are serious and life threatening. Others are not. If you have unexplained chest pain, the only way to confirm its cause is to have a doctor evaluate you.
You may feel chest pain anywhere from your neck to your upper abdomen. Depending on its cause, chest pain may be:
On the night of March 28, 1986, Howard Heit's car was struck in a head-on collision. He left the scene of the serious crash thinking how lucky he was that he hadn't been hurt. "And then four to six weeks later, I started noticing twitches in the muscles of my neck and upper back. These progressed to marked spasms of my neck, shoulders, and upper back," he recalls. The pain never ceased. All day, every day it plagued him. It became difficult for him to walk -- and almost impossible for him to work...

- Sharp
- Dull
- Burning
- Aching
- Stabbing
- A tight, squeezing, or crushing sensation
Here are some of the more common causes of chest pain.
Chest Pain Causes: Heart Problems
Although not the only cause of chest pain, these heart problems are common causes:
Coronary Artery Disease, or CAD. A blockage in the heart blood vessels that reduces blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle itself. This can cause pain known as angina. It's a symptom of heart disease but typically does not cause permanent damage to the heart. It is, though, a sign that you are a candidate for a heart attack at some point in the future. The chest pain may spread to your arm, shoulder, jaw, or back. It may feel like a pressure or squeezing sensation. Angina can be triggered by exercise, excitement, or emotional distress and is relieved by rest.
Myocardial infarction (heart attack). This reduction in blood flow through heart blood vessels causes the death of heart muscle cells. Though similar to angina chest pain, a heart attack is usually a more severe, crushing pain usually in the center or left side of the chest and is not relieved by rest. Sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, or severe weakness may accompany the pain.
Myocarditis. In addition to chest pain, this heart muscle inflammation may cause fever, fatigue, fast heart beat, and trouble breathing. Although no blockage exists, myocarditis symptoms can resemble those of a heart attack.

Fayette BOE asked to donate 100 acres for equine facility
It was a different kind of proposal that came before the Fayette County Board of Education last week. Representing the planned organization Horse Owners of Fayette, resident Scott Gilbert asked the school board to consider donating 100 acres adjacent to Inman Elementary in the southeast part of the county for an enclosed equine arena
that could be constructed and operated by the county. The facility could host regional revenue-generating equine events and local events such as graduations and the county fair, Gilbert said.
Gilbert said the new organization has yet to meet with county commissioners officially.
"I think it would be a positive impact," Gilbert told the board, referencing the large number of horse owners both in Fayette County and around the metro Atlanta region that would be expected to take advantage of the facility. "I don't think the real estate situation is going to change anytime soon. This will benefit taxpayers and provide tax revenue for the county if the county operates it."
The facility would easily facilitate large events such as graduation ceremonies and the 100-acre property could provide a venue for the county fair, Gilbert added.
Board members made no specific observations at the conclusion of Gilbert's presentation.
Gilbert added that if the idea is well-received and if Horse Owners of Fayette incorporates, it will do so as a non-profit.
Gilbert after the meeting said preliminary plans call for the construction of an enclosed 420-foot-by-280-foot arena building that would likely seat approximately 2,000 people and could have adjacent meeting rooms. Also tentatively planned are a horse stall building and three small outside arenas. The total estimated cost is $2 million, he said.
The estimated cost to build is only two million dollars. As we know, these costs are always conservatively estimated and never go over budget.
As an added benefit the county will operate it. With the mowing, maintenance, and upkeep this will be several part time jobs and possibly one or two full time jobs.
That's a great idea to hold graduation ceremonies here. Why on earth would we conduct graduation ceremonies at the high schools themselves using existing facilities that are already paid for?
If there is a great need and it is practically money in the bank, then I'm sure some private companies will come forth with a solid business plan and financial backing and make it happen. In these economic times, who in their right mind has the chutzpah to propose such an outlandish idea? What will benefit taxpayers is for a company to purchase said land from the county and the county collecting property tax on that land. Now we're talking.
County run equine facility? Thanks but no thanks.
This idea is right up there with Dar's Ice Palace. Why do these people think it is the tax payers responsibility to fund there hobbies/pipe dream businesses.
Absolutely NOT! This property should be sold to raise funds to build a reserve fund for the school system. While it will not fetch what was paid at the time of purchase, we'd be much better off holding it until property values recover or to sell it at a loss and be done with it. If the Horse Owners of Fayette are so confident in their plan's success and that it is so financially attractive, they should make an offer to buy the property outright. I'm pretty sure that their reasoning for not doing so is the financial risk involved. Let's dump another bad commercial venture into a county government agency so that tax payers can pay for it eternally. . . . NOT!
I have a upcomming senior at WHS and my last wish would be for them to graduate in a horse barn. Maybe Mr. Ed can hand out the diplomas.
If this Horse Arena is so desirable, why not take one of the many golf courses and convert it into a fine Equine facility?
The golf courses are already loaded with Horses A**es!
Why would you ever consider putting this beside a public school?
This would be an excellent place for an equine facility! The beautiful landscape of Fayette county should be preserved for a place like this.
I believe that this is a great idea. This would bring in some good economical needs that would benefit the community. This facility could also be used for several other events and the area would be perfect.
I hope that this passes the votes needed and could begin building it soon.
Oh about 20 years or so ago.
It stunk so badly that it was dismantled and a soccer (football) arena was built.
It would provide jobs for shovelers, however. Didn't have any before I think. Maybe why the stink? (whole Glenlock stunk)
Don't give PTC anything to take care of and maintain, they won't even do it for kids unless it is a big field they can mow with a contractor.
Got nothing to do with PTC--maybe if you could concentrate just a wee bit more on comprehension, it would help. Cats aint got nothing on you with number of lives!
They stink just as badly anywhere they exist!
They also require the same amount of work and upkeep, and vets.
I love horses but I know no city or county will do it correctly.
And, I doubt that the county will simply give Dar or whomever a hundred acres.
Ice ranks didn't pass muster!
Horses have to roam every day. Who is going to build and maintain the fence and keep arrow shooters at bay? I will help feed them and water them. Need tons of hay and corn, plus the grass in the fields must be tended to.
Not enough population to support it however.
Sankar- The horse facility you are thinking of housed horses year round day in and day out. The facility currently under proposal would be a venue for shows of all kinds, but primarily horses and would not require (or allow actually) that horses reside on the grounds. People would trailer in for events and leave when the event is complete. They would bring their own feed and hay. They pay their own vet expenses. This means there would not be an accumulation of manure nor would there be a need for grazing pastures. If you are interested or have any concerns about how a horse park will affect our county, Wills Park in Alpharetta is a great example. Many Fayette County residents make the drive to Alpharetta on a regular basis. Eating in their restaraunts, paying for their hotel rooms, buying their gas, etc. If such a facility is available in Fayette County we could benefit from that same economic impact. Thanks for listening!

Okra is a warm-season vegetable that grows well in most Texas soils. A fair source of vitamin A, it can be eaten in many ways, including boiled, fried, and cooked in soups, gumbos, and casseroles.
The best okra varieties to grow in Texas are Annie Oakley (Compact), Blondy, (Compact), Cajun Delight, Clemson Spineless, Emerald, Green Best, Lee, Louisiana Green, Prelude (Compact), Long Pod Dwarf
(Compact), Stewart's Zeebest (Heirloom), Burgundy, and Velvet. For good yields, okra must grow in
Full sunlight in fertile, well-drained soil. Before planting, use 2 to 3 pounds of fertilizer such as 10-10-10
Or 15-5-10 for each 100 square feet of garden area. Spread the fertilizer evenly over the area, and then mix it well into the top 3 to 4 inches of soil.
Okra will do fairly well under dry conditions. However, if you water the plants every 7 to 10 days, the yield will be higher. Sandy soils will need water more often than clay soils.
For the best yields, plant okra in the spring 2 to 3 weeks after all danger of frost has passed. For a good fall crop, plant at least 3 months before the first fall frost. Plant the okra seeds about 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart in the row. Space the rows at least 3 feet apart.

Jessi asks:
Starting about 3 years ago, I have expelled on a somewhat regular basis what I call an "asspod." They are whitish in color, solid, and of uniform size and shape (ovoid, about 2 cm long and .7 cm diameter). Pathology report on sample asspod identified material as mucous. OK, some mucous in the intestine is of course normal, but firmly-packed pods on a regular (i.e., monthly) basis, all of uniform size and shape??? Doctor was stymied but says since it's only mucous, I shouldn't worry.
But I still find it disturbing. Have you ever heard of such a thing? If so, what causes it? Should I be concerned? Is there a name other than "asspod"?
Thanks for your time.
Dear Jessi,
I believe you have the name down correctly. The elimination of Asspods from the rectum is commonly referred to as "Asspodexpellitum".
One theory is that there is an abnormal amount of mucus produced in the small or large intestine, that passes along the digestive tract and for some reaon, does not dissolve and is excreted relatively unchanged.
Another theory is that your body has been penetrated by aliens while you sleep, and the aforementioned "Asspods" are embryonic life forms that require the water from an earthlings toilet bowl to gestate and hatch.
Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.

Ew! I have the problem in the other direction. If I eat really starchy food sometimes I'll hack up these little greenish-yellow nuggets that the dogs won't even eat. (Trust me. I gave one to them to see what would happen and they all looked at my like I was crazy.) Haven't asked the doctor about it yet. And, really, why am I talking about it here? It has nothing to do with poop!

I just hawked up one that was the size of my pinkie fingernail. It's was nasty!
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
That is so very interesting. I've never had mucous come out my butt, nor have I heard of anyone who had mucous come out their butt. Ya learn something new everyday here at PoopReport.
I used to think it was impossible, too. Until it happened to me. Antibiotics can cause poop musous (i.e. butt boogers).
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I to have this mucous poop along with painful gas.I just in the last two weeks stopped smokin crank(yea i know gross habit, sik)my lungs were very congested with mucous probably from the damage that the drug had caused and after i stopped i was coughing up alot of mucous and at times swallowing it not having time to discard it sanitarily,so i thought that this was what it was.Hopefully it will diminish with time as long as i stay clean. thanks for having this site, even though it is a disturbing if not gross comment,If it werent for caring people like urself we would be stressed , worried and possibly uninformed.
i cough up a litle whit thing that smells like shit one every couple of weeks they are not hard or anything it kind of freaks me out i was just wondering if anyone knows what these are and should i be worried
What's happening here is that you are excreting your mind control implants. Every time you doo it, a S.C.A.T. team has to sneak in to your bedroom and replace it. Please refrain from coughing up or expelling your happy pods. They are there for your own protection. How do you think "Friends" became such a popular show?

I poop mucous all the time. It is really pretty gross. It almost always comes out this way too, which is just weird: I have an episode of a very large loose dump that comes on very quickly with huge cramps (thankfully with quick releif!). About 30-45 minutes after that is over, I feel an overwhelming need to let out what I think will be pure liquid poo. What comes out is a very big (3-4 cm x 1-2 cm) piece of loose mucous.
However, I do see mucous in my poo on a regular basis (>once a week); I have decided it must not be too abnormal if I see it all the time and I am still alive and kicking.
Oh good, other people with mucus poop! I don't feel so alone. It's only been happening to me this week, and I must admit I've been more bemused than scared by the whole event.
It's apparently a symptom of IBS. Joy!
I have been suffering from mucus poop, I poop about once a week, and other such IBS-induced symptoms since I can remember; but as I am a silly youth too embarressed to confront parents, does anyone know any legit medical sites that would explain these conditions or constipation conditions in general? googling sites isnt too reassuring cus most of them arent .edu or .gov or .org or anything like that
thanks a lot,

I have had similar episodes to much of the above. I have done some recent reading on the subject, at least what I can find. Everything I have read so far tells me about Mucoidal Plaque that builds up over time on the walls of the intestine. The painful cramps are the plaque loosening from the walls. The plaque builds up from not eating enough fiber, and eating too much dairy. If you eat meat, bits of meat do not digest, and get trapped in the plaque. Instead of digesting, the particles 'compost' depending on the bacteria in your intestines. Stop eating so much cheese, especially fake cheese!
Happy Pooping!
Thank god for this site, in the last few days i have noticed this weird goop in my poop but only a little bit, but about 15 minutes ago there was a big glob of it and i was freaked out but after ten minutes of various reading Im reassured. Also there are little bits of stuff but that has always been normal; because i have a really, really fast metobolism.
Ive had IBS for the last 3 yrs, ive always had mucus in my stool cause normal for ne1. For the last 3 weeks ive had lil more mucus than normal n blood in my stools then this week i started juss havin nothin but mucus, The doctor says its a sign of chron's disease. My best friend has tht n im truly scared cause i kno how much pain shes dealt wit n all the meds. Im on tons of meds now i juss dont wanna take nemore. lol.
So the mucus is very clear gel-like. If you where to taste it it would be near-flavorless, much like that of a common boggie with the exception of the occasional brown speckel (no less knowing that this substance has been sitting inside of my arse alongside with fecal matter and active bacteria cultures). You can almost picture it floating atop the lipids of your coffee's upper regions greeting your lips as you read this article...
I have been having regular sessions with a colon hydro-therapist (basically an enema where they hook you up to a machine) and today wispy strands and clumps of mucus were being ejected.
The therapist says this these mucus strands are parasites and that a lot of people have them. Mucus and/or IBS usually involves a parasite infestation. I'm on a herbal and fiber detox program and this is weakening the parasites so they are more readily flushed out.
Parasites live in the intestinal plaque coating intestines which arises from gluten (wheat & white flour) and dairy in our diets.
Try www.blessedherbs.com colon detox, total body or parasite detox programs to eliminate these "visitors". Parasites bloat you up and poison yer body. Juice fasting and hydrotherapy also cures this along with benzonite clay mixed with phyllium husk "shakes".

Yeah, and chewing 3 Certified California Dustbunnies 2x daily will help, too. Send me a check, and I'll round some up for you.
Since apparently you'll buy anything.
For those of you coughing up little yellow/white stones they are called tonsil stones or tonsiloliths. Roughly 3% of the population gets them. Basically plaque, food, bacteria, and salivia continually build up in the deep crevices some people have in their tonsils. At a certain point the crevice overflows and this is when you hack them up. There are sprays on the market to combat tonsil stones but the easiest way to solve the problem permanently is to have your tonsils removed. It is a routine surgery that will leave you with a really sore throat for 2-7 days.

It has nothing to do with poop!
TSV, I have the same problem that you have. They get caught in your throat initially right? They are about the size of a grain of rice, right?
As for the asspods. How do you think Alf got to earth?
The ass pods are implanted by aleins, and rely on the body to begin the first phase of life. After they are expelled, they feed off of human waste and hatch into 1/2 alien and 1/2 human life forms. They then find more people to implant with these asspods.
"-55F, a new record low? Nope, thermometer went bad. Looks like -50F still stands"
"Two percent of the population think; three percent of the population think they think, and 95 percent of the population would rather die than think."
I have the problem with very stinky stools and large mucous "asspods." I was kind of freaking out about it, but then I found this on someone's website:
"You can have mucous for a variety of reasons. However, since you know there was lots of gunk in there, and just started an enzymes/probiotic program with help cleaning out the gunk, the mucus can be sloughing off in this process. The alternating stool consistency can also be part of this process. Allow a couple weeks for the bulk of the cleaning out to happen. I know there is the tendency to analyze things on a minute by minute or hour by hour basis, but the transit through the gut can be a matter of hours, days, or weeks. Allow about a week to evaluate changes in diet, supplements, or meds to see the net results (unless there are drastic healthy problems happening, of course)."
I had just started taking probiotics (bifidous and lactobacilus) a few days ago, so this makes sense. Most sites will say this is a bad sign, but I think it's actually good--my body is flushing out all the mucous and bad stuff so i can start digesting normally!
I have been laughing my ass off reading this site! It is funny to hear all of these great stories! I came across this site in search of some info to help me identify the strange mucus in my poop, and much to my surprise the site answered that question and a few others. I have been asking doctors for over 10 years what this white junk is coming out of crevaces in my throat...tonsil stones!!!!! Not one doctor ever figured it out! I asked one doctor about a tonsilectomy and she said no because there wasn't a medical condition that required it...so what if it makes my breath awful and these things fly out of my mouth occasionally while I am talking to people! I am psychologically scarred from this happening once and landing in someone's food at the dinner table.
It is great to hear from other people who have these issues...thought I was alone until now! Thanks for the info!
Laugh if you want at the subject matter, but I, too, had the same frightening mucous get eliminated into my underwear at work today, and if it wasn't for finding this website I would be wondering what on earth was happening. I'll look up the blessed herbs website and start a colon detox program. Great advice. We might belong to an odd "club" but I, for one, am grateful I found you all.
I feel so relieved! I've been vegetarian for 2 1/2 years, and 2 weeks ago I decided to make the switch to become a vegan. So, I decided to start with a slight cleanse (just eating fruit in the morning and then having only one thing with each meal that was not a raw or slightly cooked vegetable) and 3-4 days after starting, I started to get all this white mucus stuff in my poo and was freaking out. I feel so much more relieved now that I know I'm not alone, and that it's the dairy products being wiped out of my system.
Eww, did they eat the Shit Cheese, thats what its called, or Tonsil Stone, basically you get them if you dont brush regularly,If you run your fingers around the gumline of your wisdom teeth and the smell of shit cheese is on your fingertip, you will get Tonsil Stones, its the same amasingly stinky shit matter... Sometimes for the fun of it, I let them grow, just to savor the rank smell, I mean, you could kill a bird in flight just by pointing one at it... Ever got somthing stuck under a nail so bad it leaks puss, thats how bad Shit Cheese stinks... :)
so, earlier this evening i was having terrible cramps and then explosive diarrhea (sp?) after running to the bathroom a few times, i finally felt relief... but i was still very gassy and farting a good amount. soon after, what i thought was coming out as a fart, was actually a warm mucous-like substance. i quickly ran to the bathroom and pushed out a very painful, but loose and small stool. (keep in mind, i have hemorroids - or at least, i think i do, so painful stools are a regular for me!) the stool had a stringy-like mucous all over it, clear in some spots and light brown in color in others. when i wiped after the mission was accomplished, i had a good amount of mucous. it has an awful odor - a little fishy - and very uncomfortable.
can anyone else relate to this? im guessing this is somewhat normal bc i have read all of your stories of anal mucous... but mine seems a little different.
does yours smell? is it stringy when pooped out in the toilet? attached to your poop??
I just farted out a big brownish glob of fishy mucus. I was peeing and I farted it out right onto the floor. But it whiped up with just a few tissues. It was really viscus (thick) and it didn't smeel like poop, only a little fishy.
The night before I had an emergency poop but it turned out to be only water, and after this i'm having more small poops.
Reading this I'm not too worried, but still a little worried.
For at least a year now I have had mucus in my poops, it's not the fact that I have mucus in my poop that bothers me it's the fact that the smell seeps through my ass. It actually started off as a smell of shit everytime I farted and then progressed into just the smell of this mucus stuff.
It's so embarrassing and it's getting me really depressed. I shower every day (washing my whole body and arse!!) and I know how to wipe my ass properly after a shit so why is this happening to me?
I shit about 3-4 times a day and they're not even full blown shits, they are feeble shits. It starts with excessive sweating of my arse and I can feel my arse-ring getting wet with the mucus building up. Then the stench comes and i go to the toilet.
What can I do to stop this horrible problem I have?
Please help!!
Ok, so I had diarrhea, gross mucous poop (when it wasn't just liquid) and the nasty fish stank. I'm going to brave a colonoscopy (after parasite tests were negative). I'll let you all know what the diagnosis is. Ok, and BTW, I have the tonsil stones too, they aren't cured by tonsil removal always, and irrigation devices really help. If you search for tonsil stones on the net, there's a whole big website and forum dedicated to them and how to deal with them.
hey, the other day i was out of town with a few close friends. I drank a large amount of alchohol and fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night because my stomach hurt really bad. i ran tho the john and farted and only a little bit of white stuff came out. It resembled sperm exactly and I am now freaking out. I would never expect this from my friends, but i did poop what looked like sperm. Also i took antibiotics for a few days before this happened. please tell me it can be mucous.
This morning I woke up and went to the bathroom to take a leak, and I farted. It was a moderately small fart but I noticed a wet feeling and decided to wipe it with a tissue to find a tissue full of yellow, oily stuff, a little mucus like but more liquid and very yellow. Then I noticed my boxers covered in the stuff and when I pulled them down the yellow stuff dripped onto the floor. I had to wipe a couple of times to get all the stuff off. The strange thing was that for something with such a distinctly yellow color it didnt smell too bad. It had a bit of a smell but not really a distinct shit smell. Just to clarify, this was not shit, I did not shit my pants. It was all from one meak fart but the mess was so strange and gross I threw away the boxers. A few minutes after I decided to shit and when I looked into the bowl out of curiosity for the yellow stuff, the poop was pretty normal and not liquidy, but there was some more of the yellow stuff floating on the water almost oil like. Any clues?
I have the yellow moucos in the poop and it seems like it started when I started taking Darviset (not sure on spelling) pain killers. And it happened a second time after another day when I took the pain killer. I notice there is a link on the page called "vicodin problems" . Coincidence? I think not!
Oh, those blobs of mucous with blood are uncomfortable and annoying! I usually fart them out after eating and upper GI pain. Mine are odorless which is good, but I've heard if they do stink, it is a yeast infection in your GI tract.
AC of 01/05/2008...
Nope, you're the only one...good luck with that, maybe join the circus, get in on the side show action...I hear during down times the bearded lady deals a mean table of Texas Hold'em.

Anal leakage sucks! I had like a king size bag of baked layes last night and then went out drinking. This moring I woke up with a leaking surprise, anal goo, yummy. Does anyone have any remedies for this nasty aliment?
I also have mucus that is attached to my poop, or rarely comes out by itself. It ranges in color from orange/brown to white. And it does stink. I have not clue what it is, my doctor has no answers. Cam anyone help me out?
Question about mucous discharge. I had what I'm pretty sure were hemorrhoids last week, and for me the most annoying symptom was a clear-yellowish, sticky mucous discharge. I used moist wipes with aloe doused with Witchhazel to clean the area, and then I dried it and placed a tissue between my butt cheeks to absorb any mucous discharge. The mucous and other symptoms went away for about a week, and then yesterday when I defecated there was some blood -- I think a hemorrhoid popped. Since then, no blood, no pain when I go to the bathroom, but a non-stop flow of the mucous. I wiped it with witchhazel, got some hemorrhoid cream and applied it, and then put on an adult diaper, so I wouldn't have to wipe my butt every hour and make it raw.
Any tips on how to stop the flow of mucous, or do I just have to wait it out? I am eating fiber, drinking fluids, concentrating on not straining when I defecate, etc.
Normally, I'm not at a loss for words, but that title made my throat go dry, and I'm having trouble standing. I think I will just sit down and have some hot tea with honey and hope it all goes away.
I'm not sure what that could be in your case Marc....but for me, and I had the same experience, it WAS lumps of ear wax, left from when I pulled my head out of my ass. The ordeal was so frightening, I promptly jammed it back in.

Mr. Pump, I have had anal mucous coming out of my ears. Could I have the same problem?
Quite possibly, Mr. Doggin, but I don't know which to suggest, an ear, nose, and throat Doc, or a proctologist.

For 3 days now, I've had irregular poops. Usually I have man poops, now I have either diarrhea or small poops. Now tonight I shat out a tiny ball of poop, followed by 3 snot clumps. And when I wiped, the paper had gel-like stuff on it. Clear-ish and a faint yellow with little to no smell to it. Why after 25 years of great normal pooping, am I having ass snot? And I have those tonsil stones too. I just pick them out of the crevices with a pointy tweezer.
MM, there's nothing magic about your life.
Alien eggs. No doubt about it. You've been abducted.
So I've been constipated nearly my entire adult life. But just in the past 7-8 months or so, I've been taking fiber and miralax regularly and it's been helping. However, I've been noticing yellow blobs of stuff in my poop (they're kind of solid but squishy). Today I had a really large one come out so I'm saving it for the doc. My concern is about 7-8 months ago as well, my boyfriend's mom got tapeworms. He was checked and didn't have it, and I don't have any symptoms, in fact tape worms aren't supposed to be yellow either and apparently resemble grains of rice. But maybe I have a different kind of parasite? Yuck...
I noticed I had snot coming out of my rear aswell... It happened a few times for a week. All I did was make sure I was spitting the loogies out my mouth everytime I felt some flem in my throat instead of just swallowing it, I'd spit it out. No more swallowing the flem for me and I haven't had this problem since. If that helps you, glad I can help.
OMG all this talk about poop has me LOL! please stop focusing so much on bodily functions, it brings up a visual that is just gross.(imagining people studying their poop, ick) If you truly think something is wrong, not quite right, go to the doctor for goodness sakes and get it checked out.
thank goodness for this site! most of my day revolves around when i am going to poop and how well it goes. my doc says i have IBS but i rarely seem to have any severe problems with it though i will occasionally get surprise diarrhea even after eating foods that normally dont bother me. its a mystery? anyway, what i do experience is the fact that i will often poop 3-4 times a day, usually a bit soft but nothing to worry about. after i go, often times i will have to go again about 30-45 minutes later but all that will come out is a tiny little poo with a bunch of mucous and sometimes a speck of bright red blood attached. it doesnt hurt or smell or anything but i wonder why it happens and why i poop so much!! am i absorbing my food correctly? am i a poop monster? i dont even eat all that much so where does it come from. when i ask the doc they just say "oh, it sounds like IBS" and then tell me to take some imodium or bentyl when problems flare up. i just want to make sure it is not something more severe like crohn's or diverticulitis. anyone have any ideas? also, my lower intestinal area is constantly gurgling and grumbling, ALL THE TIME! not painful, but embarrassing in quiet or intimate situations. whats this all about????
this is a great site, i'm a young man who has suffered embarrassing anal problems for years, i've had episodes of roids, anal fissures, leaking mucous, tried various creams, and had a lot of doctors looking up my smelly hairy arse crack, and i wont even mention their fingers!
i get the leaking crap problem all the time, have a dump, wipe my arse, then have to go to the toilet about 3 hours later to wipe my arse again! i've tried elimination diets, removing caffeine, chocolate, yeast, nothing seems to work. at least i'm not alone..
i have suffered from tonsil stones for years. you cough up chunks that range in size from teeny tiny to tiny. you instantly know it is in your mouth because it is real hard. squeeze it between your fingers and sniff and you will never socialize again. can a doctor scrape it out????? call 949-574-9396
The phone number is for a boat scraping business in California. You don't have tonsil stones, you have barnacles!

I was going to suggest reaming out the throat with one of Chief's turpentine soaked corn cobs.
PD, that would be a fine idea, if said corncob weren't full of shit and quite a bit of your fake fur suit.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

I was told by my N.D. friend not to eat shrimp and scavinger eating creatures because they are plain toxic and turn into mucus in our system. (Meat and Cows milk does also, but not as bad) So I became vegetarian two months ago and my system was fine. Then I decided to eat a Chinese shrimp dish and did I pay for it. That morning when I woke up. I had alot of mucus in my throat and had to hack and cough it up. I pooped it out too. No more toxic scavenger foods for me.
sometimes i poop normally, sometimes not. sometime i have painful cramps followed by round pellet like craps. often i feel like its a fart trapped in my colon and have to wait for hours to finally squeeze it out, only to discover it is a tiny round peice of crap. it is often followed by mucous. i tried an enema after such an event and shat. about 15 minutes later i felt like i had to shit more, so i go, and after i look in the toilet to discover a ton of mucous. i have since stopped drinking vodka on a nightly basis and started taking fiber and its getting a lot better.

(page 4 of 4)
Hobson's decision to write a novel about American anti-Semitism was more daring than it may seem today. When, in February 1944, she read an article in Time magazine about Mississippi Rep. John Rankin calling Walter Winchell a "kike," Hobson was outraged, and even more outraged to read that nobody in the House of Representatives had protested. Hobson kept the clipping in her scrapbook, which is now housed in the Columbia University archives with the rest of her papers. She wrote about the Rankin episode in her first draft of "Gentleman's Agreement."
Hobson's friend Dorothy Thompson, "the first lady of American journalism" and the first American journalist expelled from Nazi Germany, remained skeptical that writing a novel about anti-Semitism was the proper way to fight the problem. Furthermore, it seemed a shame to Thompson that Hobson was not planning to write about the actual experience of being a Jew, but instead only about someone pretending to be Jewish. After reading the synopsis that Hobson had mailed her, Thompson wrote back. Though she had known few Jews when she was growing up in a Puritan, Anglo-Saxon community, she said she could "vividly remember that my first impression of Jewish homes was that the kids had a hell of a lot better time in them than we did… I also thought that they ate marvelous and vastly more interesting food!" Might not Hobson add a little of that ethnic-religious flavoring to her novel? She demurred; that wasn't really her thing.
Simon was less interested in a more Jewish book than he was in a book that sold. Throughout 1944, he and Hobson corresponded about the possibilities for a novel about anti-Semitism. He was not enthusiastic. Sales for Hobson's first novel, "The Trespassers" — a story of Nazi refugees — had been less than stellar. "I do think the cards are stacked terribly against this project," he warned Hobson.
"Dick, let's skip it for now," she wrote back, not quite dismissing Simon's four-page letter that had outlined "heartbreak possibilities" for Hobson if she went forward with her novel. Why not simply return to advertising and a reliable salary and "security for my boys if I am going to give up a book merely because it might bring me heartbreak? Because I can't see what the hell is the use of enduring the chancy insecurity of being an author unless you write stuff that you yourself find a deep satisfying rightness in."
"Maybe this is not the book," Hobson wrote. "Maybe it will smell 'tract' to high heaven." If so, Hobson promised, she'd give it up, "because it's no satisfaction to keep writing a lousy tracty book." Still, she wouldn't know "unless I try about six chapters…. Maybe those first chapters would be so different from what you expect, so fascinating and interesting, that you will yourself urge me to go on."
In the end, what had once seemed a fantastic idea — that a gentile would pose as a Jew and fight anti-Semitism — was so convincingly told that it now seems banal.
Watching "Gentleman's Agreement," today, it is hard to make out what had seemed so path-breaking about Peck's character declaring himself a Jew, as though words themselves — the names we call ourselves and the stories we tell about ourselves — have the power to create new realities. But that was the triumph of Hobson's story: It had become part of America's story, complete with a Hollywood ending.

(Half A Cow) released Re-released in digi-pack, May 2002. The end of 1997 saw Art of Fighting enter the studio to begin recording their debut release. Working with Nick Carroll at his North Melbourne studio, the band have delivered a 6 song set exploring expansive, involved arrangements within fully realised songs. review:Melbournes Augie March and Sydneys John Reed Club set the standard for 1998 for debut recordings. Then, in the middle part of the year, Adelaide band Fuge increased that notch to a higher beam. Now, that mark has again been topped. Melbourne band art of fightings debut EP, the very strange year is a stunning achievement, worthy of You Am Is first up effort for sheer performance and potential. Of course, art of fighting are not yet another You Am I rip-off. Far from it art of fightings sound is unique and diverse (and yet so refreshingly catchy and melodic). By the time you've listened through the melancholic pop of Sliding (in which the virgin listener can marvel for the first time at Ollie Brownes gentle eloquent poetry which is uttered in a distinctly hushed Australian accent) to Peggie Frews gentle and quiet vocals on the perfectly titled Not Exactly Fading Away, you know that this is something special. Everything about this band pointed to big things a year or so ago a fantastic pop-rock demo tape which contained the instantly hummable the chorus is suffering and ahamay, then the elegant slow-burner You and Me on Mars. And this is where The Very Strange Year picks up it sounds like art of fighting stopped recording you and me on mars and immediately started with The Very Strange Year. The only really fast-paced number is Wild Beast and even that has a distinctly slow-burn feel to it. One of the greatest things about art of fighting is that you really cant pigeonhole their influences. Certainly Siamese Dream-era Smashing Pumpkins used to be there, but these days, it seems that Ollie, Peggy and Cam have started to listen to quiet, more introspective music, such as fellow Melbournians Sandro and Paradise Motel, and even, to a certain extent, Will Oldham. This is one of the best debut releases ever. The only dilemma is what to do when first opening the package do you remove the sticker or leave it there? But that, in reality, is irrelevant the music speaks for itself in the most beautiful way possible. Utterly amazing. - the Electric Newspaper

MitchMarch 1999 |
Hi everybody! My name is Mitch and this is my first time writing for a magazine.
I didn't want to start out my very first article with a lot of heady subject matter, so I'll just tell everybody a bit about myself.
I'm an 18 year old student at Timken Senior High in Canton, Ohio (the center of boredom). I am a huge Madonna fan (I'm gay and worship Madonna, big surprise!) I don't have a boyfriend and I'm still a virgin.
I came out 3 years ago when the media had just announced that the TV sitcom "Ellen" would have it's lead character reveal that she was a lesbian.
This is how it happened: My mom saw this on the six o' clock news and I was there also. So anyway, she made a comment that really pissed me off.
"Those people (gays) are sick!" she said.
I blew up and said, "No they're not! I'm gay you know!"
The rest is history.
Anyway, my mom, because of her religious beliefs, does not accept that I'm gay but she accepts everything else about me.
My stepdad has never made an issue of it so I assume it's not. My real dad, whom I rarely see, has never brought it up. He knows though.
Amazingly enough, I've experienced very little open hostility at my school. I've even written articles for the school newspaper dissing homophobes.
I guess I'm very lucky to go to such a liberal city school. Well, that's a wrap. If this gets published I'll have a REAL article next month. Bye!
I love getting e-mail! Write to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Spiritual Works of Mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in spiritual necessities (CCC #2447), those being focused on getting a soul to Heaven. The seven Spiritual Works of Mercy are:
- Admonish the sinner
- Instruct the ignorant
- Counsel the doubtful
- Comfort the sorrowful
- Bear wrongs patiently
- Forgive all injuries
- Pray for the living and the dead
It must not be forgotten that the works of mercy demand more than a humanitarian basis if they are to serve as instruments in bringing about our eternal salvation. The proper motive is indispensable and this must be one drawn from the supernatural order.
The Concilium Legionis Mariae revised its list of approved works in September of 2000, and these are just a few examples, not meant to be all-inclusive. This one-page document is being made available here for easy viewing, printing and/or saving: Approved Works Revised
Our devotion to Mary will easily become mere lip service if there is little real zeal for the work of the salvation of souls. So the praesidium must ask at least once every month: are we really doing substantial work for the salvation of souls? Could we be doing more for this most worthy of objectives?
The work should be substantial, that is, a couple of hours a week and done in a supernatural spirit of faith and it must be done in the closest union with Mary. Our Legion work is a profound and practical way of living true devotion to Mary. Its essential aim should be to instill knowledge and love of Mary in others that will lead them to seek to share in Mary's maternal care of souls.
The words of St. Pius X come to mind at this point: 'As soon as devotion to the august Mary has driven deep its roots into souls, then – and not till then – will he who labours for those souls see proceed from them the fruits of virtue and sanctity corresponding to his toils on their behalf.'
Then we have one of the unforgettable lines describing the spirit of the Legion: 'working… in union with Mary in such fashion that in those worked for and in one's fellow members, the Person of Our Lord is once again seen and served by Mary, his Mother'.
This means giving our whole lives to Mary so that she can love Jesus through us and serve Him in our fellow legionaries and in those whom we meet and work with in our apostolate.
By way of conclusion let me suggest that a legionary who does not perform some substantial active legionary work every week will soon cease to be worthy of the name of legionary. This is particularly true of legionaries who are members of higher councils and must lead by example. Certainly if any legionary should habitually fail to do this substantial apostolic weekly work, they should seriously consider leaving the Legion or better still praying for the grace to rediscover the essential spirit of the Legion.
The Handbook seems to me to be equivalently saying the same thing in several passages. For example: 'a main consideration is the allocation of active work to each member. Without substantial work there is no praesidium.'
Or, 'Similarly, members of a praesidium, which is not engaged in some form of active work, have no right to the name of legionaries of Mary. It is reiterated that spiritual exercises do not satisfy the legionary obligation to do active work. The inactive praesidium is not only untrue to the Legion purpose of showing a virile apostolate in action, but it does a further grave injustice to the Legion. It creates the impression that the Legion is not suited to the doing of certain work, whereas the real fact is that the Legion, though perfectly capable, is not even being employed on that work.'
It is a prudent act to acknowledge Mary in prayer, the Most Blessed Virgin, before conducting Legion works: Prayer Before Doing Legion Work

It's Joey's birthday. He would have been 41 today. He died over a year ago & the date of his death is marked on my calendar with hearts signifying love & remembrance.
When I was 30, I had no death dates on my calendar. Death was something for old people -- beloved & tired & well-lived & ready-to-die old people. If, God forbid, a child died, or a young person, I didn't mark the date, but instead worked hard to forget it had happened. Because it was a freak thing, death. Accidental gun shot, rare form of cancer, deep water.
At 30, I didn't want to think about death because, hey, it was a long way off. My friends were all living, my parents & siblings were healthy. Sure, I worried about car accidents & planes crashing -- death needing to come in with a bang, some drama beyond a stark hospital room. At 30, a hospital room meant that doctors could fix you. At 30, I still believed doctors knew magic.
Somewhere around 55, I finally recognized that none of us are getting out of here alive. Some of us get to stick around longer than others, but inevitably we all die. I'm not crazy about this idea, but so far nobody has come up with any super-amazing-incredible-live-forever! pill. Granted, spirituality-wise there is the faith & trust & belief in eternal life deal. But still...gotta die first. Damn technicalities.
My mom (whenever I would worry about something, which was practically all the time) would always say, "When it's your time, it's your time." It used to make me crazy when she'd say that -- We control freaks hate to be told that we can't change something, or make it better, or -- uh -- control it.
But she was right, I sat next to her as she died, a final smile at the end. I watched Joey fade, always with the hope that he'd miraculously pull through. I have laughed with a friend on Wednesday, only to attend his funeral that weekend. I've had dogs die in my arms, & cats on my lap & birds in my hand. I have made countless "memorial" donations, spent hours at cemeteries, brought warm cookies to crowded rooms -- all of us gathered to share memories, trying to keep a loved one alive awhile longer, if only through words.
My friends & I joke about our inevitable deaths. If we lose a couple of pounds we are certain we have cancer. Suspicious age spots. A cough. Headaches. I have never once awakened in the middle of the night with a headache without the sure feeling that I was having an aneurysm & would probably not last until daylight.
And then daylight comes & I'm like YES! Hurray! I made it thru the night! And I go out to feed the cats & walk the dog & clean the litter boxes. I drink my morning cup of tea with my husband & we talk about mortality or politics or God or the grandkids. I forget about death until the next headache, the next "quaint local dies" obituary, the next crushed road-kill squirrel.
Sometimes in the morning we talk about people we love. This morning we talked about Joe. I'm sad missing him, even though I never got to see him all that much after he grew up. A few months before he got sick we talked for over an hour on the phone, the two of us laughing & him telling me his dreams & about how happy & hopeful he was, & it was a really great talk & I am grateful for it, & grateful that he was in my life, & wish I'd told him more often how happy he made me, how when he was a child he was pure joy, a sweetly sweaty little boy who made us laugh with his "Popeye" face & marched thru the living room to The Nutcracker Suite, kind & compassionate & adorably goofy & serious all at the same time.
As an adult, he became defensive & dark, & I am certain that his dad's voice telling him he was a loser or ungrateful or an asshole -- that voice must have been there, always. Joe tended towards denial, as is our family way. If you pretend the monster's not there, maybe the monster will go away.
But even at his most damaged, he was still gentle & loving, & harder on himself than anyone else. When true love finally broke through Joe's poorly-constructed barriers, he stopped being hurt all the time & he laughed again, & laughed at himself. He picked himself up, danced thru his days, found "happy" all over again.
And I am glad for that, it's a big thing to know happiness. We don't know how much time we have, & who understands time anyway? There are no perfect lives. We all have sadness & shit days & misery & desperate-prayer types of days & how-the-fuck-can-I-get-through-this days. But if we are lucky we also have joyful, ecstatic, passionate, crazy-in-love with the world kinds of days.
And Joe had those days, so hurray for Joe. He didn't mean to die & break our hearts. He beat us to the next journey. I have no clue what that journey entails, but I hope when I take mine, Joey is there with that laugh he had that kind of started deep & then disappeared into his eyes. And I hope I shake my head & say, "I don't know what I was so afraid of..."
Love you & miss you, Joey, as always.

There was one most awful explosion, which nearly frightened me to death.
The Ryecroft house had been destroyed, and the whole family killed. Bombs had been dropped in various spots; one at "Strathmore" opposite
the laundry; two on Oakland's Avenue; one on Kingston Road, opposite the
nursing home; one in the back brook at Arden Cottage; and one by the post
office on Carlton Parade.
It is worse and worse. Last night's raid lasted until four forty-five a.m.
this morning. Another land mine was dropped, this time between Stanley Avenue
and Carlton Road.
About two hundred houses are shattered and down, but luckily nobody was
Two more raids today. I am sick with fright and nerves. I keep crying. I
long to be in America.
On the seven o'clock news we were told of the sinking of one of the
vessels carrying refugee children to Canada! Mrs. Ryecroft was found in the debris of her house, but not the
slightest trace of Peter could be found. Mrs. Ryecroft was pinned right through
her breast by a big beam.
It is not safe to be on the streets now after any warning, for the
Germans have taken to low diving, and then machine-gunning anyone in sight.

Team pyro - very popular young Christian blog weighs in on 3rd party voting.
Submitted by Patriot83 on Sat, 09/01/2012 - 15:00http://teampyro.blogspot.com/2012/08/math-and-elections.html
"There is one class of voter this post is for, and that's the voter who isn't a huge fan of Romney, and is not a fan of Obama, and wants to vote for anyone else more attuned to their stated political beliefs – for example, Ron Paul, or perhaps Pat Robertson, or perhaps Sara Palin – someone farther to the right with better Bona Fides than Romney. But they know, in their heart, that this vote is a vote of conscience and not a vote which will actually cause that man to be put into office. So when they are confronted by the objection, "A vote for [other] is a vote for Obama," they ask the astute question, "Pray tell: why isn't it a vote for Romney?" DJP has dealt with this 4 years ago, but I have something it seems most people have not considered."
I haven't posted in a while, but thought this would be a great outreach/educational opportunity to the evangelical right. Since this post is in regards to what many feel on this forum I thought some could jump in to explain the point of view of those voting 3rd party and how obamney are one in the same.
Edit: Or for those in favor of their view to still shed light on your reasoning.

"Start" Original Photograph by Josh Garlich
Perhaps you have seen Embrocation's recent print journals, or have been paying even casual attention to the content we post here on the Embrocation website, you're familiar with the photography of Josh Garlich. Josh has been one of our go-to photographers over the past year and he specializes in offering intimate, honest slices of time, served up in sharp contrast. He's also a rare example of a photographer who can verbalize, succinctly and eloquently, his point of view and his intent.
From the photographer on his piece, Start:
It's a depiction of that teeth-gritting, muscle-burning, adrenaline-pumping moment. It's the most beautiful part of a race. Everything is possible. The butterflies have instantly disappeared and nothing else exists except that singular hole shot up ahead.
As cross season descends upon us, we are please to offer a limited run of original prints. We have 25 individually numbered, 8x10in photos. Prints are shipped in special, rigid packaging to retain integrity of the print.

At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the United Nations put forward a comprehensive plan for its version of sustainable development called "Agenda 21."
Specific goals for implementing Agenda 21 were set forth at the U.N. World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa in August 2002. According to its authors, Agenda 21 is designed to be a roadmap for the world in the twenty-first century.
In response to this ambitious, yet fundamentally flawed, approach to tackling the important issues of environment and development, a group of like-minded organizations has set forth the "Freedom 21 Agenda for Prosperity" to promote a more robust concept of sustainable development based on the principles of freedom, sound science, and genuine free markets.
What follows is the second edition of the Freedom 21 Agenda. It is a bold program that has received extensive review from many scientists and experts around the world.
