The Placerville Natural Foods Cooperative celebrated its first year anniversary Oct. 28.
The Placerville Natural Foods Co-op (PNFC), located at 535 Placerville Drive in Placerville, opened its doors last year as a member-owned food cooperative serving the greater Placerville and El Dorado County area. After a long organizing effort and several years of negotiations, fundraising and membership drives, the fledgling group took over the former Noah's Natural Foods on Placerville Drive back in October of 2011. PNFC has since grown from barely 200 members last year at this time, to over 600 member/owners today.
A member-owned food cooperative is a store that is owned by the people that shop there. Although anyone can shop at the PNFC, member/owners receive discounts on their purchases, elect the Board of Directors, and democratically participate in other aspects of operating the store and store policies. The tradition of consumer food cooperatives dates back over a hundred years to the original farm cooperatives established throughout the country to help farmers and others buy seed, fertilizer and equipment.
One of the core goals of PNFC is to develop relationships with local farmers and suppliers so that as much as possible, the goods and produce in the store are grown and produced locally, strengthening and increasing our local food economy and working to create a healthy and wholesome local food system that doesn't rely on extensive shipping and transportation of goods.

Why Israel Will Bomb Iran
The rational argument for an attack.
The more Israeli leaders huff and puff about their determination to stop Iran's nuclear program, the more sophisticated analysts are inclined to believe that Israel is bluffing. After all, if George W. Bush refused to provide Israel with the bunker busters and refueling capacity to take out Iran's nukes in 2008, the chance that Barack Obama will give Israel the green light anytime soon seems quite remote—this being the same President Obama who greeted North Korea's recent missile launch with a speech outlining his plan to dismantle America's nuclear arsenal on the way to realizing his dream of a nuclear-free world. Israel's performance in the 2006 war in Lebanon was widely depicted as catastrophic, and with Israel's diplomatic standing hitting new lows after the stomach-turning images of destruction from Gaza, the diplomatic consequences of a successful attack on Iranian nuclear facilities might be worse than the prospect of military failure. There is also the fact that no one knows exactly where Iran's nuclear assets are.
Many perfectly reasonable people chalk up the rhetorical excesses of both parties to the hot desert sun and assume that nothing particularly awful will happen whether Iran becomes a nuclear power or not. From a U.S. point of view, at least, there is little reason to doubt the analysis that a nuclear Iran with a few dozen bombs can be contained at relatively limited cost using the same strategies that successfully constrained an aggressive Soviet Empire armed with nearly 45,000 nuclear warheads at the height of the Cold War.
What the nuclear optimists miss is that it is not the United States that is directly threatened by the Iranian nuclear program but Israel—and the calculations that drive our Middle Eastern client state are very different from those that guide the behavior of its superpower patron.
Less sanguine types—who think that Israel isn't bluffing—generally fall into two camps: those who think that the Israelis are crazy and require the firm hand of America to restrain them and those who think that the Iranian leadership lives on a different planet and will use nuclear weapons against Israel. Yet it is not necessary to stipulate that either party is crazy in order to see why an Israeli attack on Iran makes sense.
From the standpoint of international relations theory, the scariest thing about recent Israeli rhetoric is that an attack on Iran lines up quite well with Israel's rational interests as a superpower client.
While Israeli bluster is clearly calculated to push America to take a more aggressive stance toward Iran, that doesn't mean the Israelis won't actually attack if President Obama decides on a policy of engagement that leaves the Iranians with a viable nuclear option. In fact, the more you consider the rationality of an Israeli attack on Iran in the context of Israel's relationship with its superpower patron, the more likely an attack appears. Given Iran's recent technological triumphs, like the launch of the Omid communications satellite earlier this year and the lack of ambiguity about the aims of the Iranian nuclear program, it is hardly apocalyptic to expect an attack within the next year—assuming that the Russians continue to dither about delivering S-300 surface-to-air missiles to protect Iranian nuclear sites. A stepped-up delivery date for large numbers of S-300 missiles could lead to an earlier attack.
The fact that U.S. and Israeli interests with regard to Iran may diverge in radical ways comes as a surprise to many mainstream analysts because of the tendency among both supporters and opponents of America's "special relationship" with Israel to invoke various forms of mind-bending mumbo-jumbo—from dimwitted theories about an all-powerful Jewish conspiracy to childlike evocations of the community of democratic values that unites the two countries. While America's embrace of Israel is partially motivated both by shared values and by the lobbying power of an influential minority group, neither Israel's creaky democratic polity nor the hidden persuasive powers of AIPAC can claim much credit for the billions of dollars in American military credits that Israel enjoys—a vast corporate welfare program that benefits Pentagon defense contractors as much as it benefits Israel's military.
The key fact of the American-Israeli alliance that most commentators seem eager to elide is that Israel is America's leading ally in the Middle East because it is the most powerful country in the Middle East. Critics of the American-Israeli relationship love to conflate American support for Israel before 1967 with America's support since then by citing statistics for tens of billions of dollars in U.S. military credits and aid given to Israel "since 1948," when the Jewish State was founded. In fact, Israel's rise to becoming a regional superpower was accomplished without any significant help from United States. Israel's surreptitious program to build nuclear weapons was accomplished with the aid of the British and the French, who joined with Israel to seize the Suez Canal from Egypt's rabble-rousing President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and who were then forced to give it back by Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Israeli air force pilots who destroyed the Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian air forces on the ground flew French-made Mystère jets—not American-made F-4 Phantoms. The U.S. Congress did not appropriate a single penny to help Israel accommodate an overwhelming influx of Holocaust survivors and poor Jewish refugees from Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, and other Arab countries until 1973—25 years after the founding of the state.
By shattering the old balance of power in the Middle East with its spectacular military victory in the Six Day War, Israel announced itself to America as the reigning military power in the region and as a profoundly destabilizing influence that needed to be contained. The parallels between Israel's rise to superpower-client status in the 1950s and 1960s and the Iranian march toward regional hegemony over the past decade are quite striking. Both Israel circa 1967 and modern-day Iran are non-Arab states that utilized innovative military tactics to panic the Arabs. Yet where Iran is a non-Arab country with a population of more than 70 million, Israel was and is a tiny non-Arab, non-Muslim country whose small population and seat-of-the-pants style of leadership made even the country's modest colonial ambitions seem like a stretch. In the absence of any fixed plan of expansion, or any long-term plan for dealing with its neighbors, Israel decided to use its excess military power and captured lands as a chit that it could exchange for resources provided from outside the region by its wealthy American patron.

Let me start by saying that this is not the best blush in the world, but an amazing highlighter! I usually do not like shimmery blushes, but this looked so amazing in the pan that I had to pick it up.. I am so glad I did! The colour is a sheer peachy pink with fine shimmer in it. I don't use this product alone on my cheeks, instead I use it ontop of other blushes to add a glow. I usually hate shimmery cheeks, but this over top of say my NYX cream blush in natural is gorgeous, and gives my skin a healthy glow. I would highly recommend this to those who want that "glow from within" look.

I originally bought Honeymoon because it looked like a dupe for a limited edition MAC product that I can't remember the name of now. It turned out not to be a dupe, and not to work out for me as a blush, but this turned out to be one of my favorite highlighters!
Honeymoon is a shimmery peachy-pink blush with lavender veining. As a blush, this honestly does nothing. A little shimmer shows up, but that's about it. The packaging says to use this blush wet for a more dramatic look, but even wet, this doesn't do much as a blush.But this is a wonderful cheekbone highlighter! One sweep of this stuff gives a nice glow without being too over the top. This is definitely shimmery, but there are no big pieces of glitter or anything to make this look too obvious or tacky. The consistency of this is nice and smooth, not too powdery or chalky. Many people think highlighting is unnecessary, but I can always tell when I've forgotten to wear this. It really brightens up your face and gives you a beautiful glow all day long. I've also used this on my eyes in a pinch, both as a browbone highlighter and as a neutral, shimmery shade to blend out other colors. Both times it worked out great!
My HG highlighter is Benefit High Beam, which is a little more dramatic than this and a lot more expensive. I use Honeymoon as a daily highlighter and save High Beam for special occasions. I will totally repurchase if I ever run out -- I've been using this daily for months and I've hardly made a dent! If High Beam is too intense or too expensive for you, go to Wal-Mart and try this out.

This is my #1 go to blush =] it works perfectly on my fair skin. Even if I use...let's say Nars Orgasm I still use Honeymoon over top as a highlight. I adore this blush so much that I actually have a few backups just incase they remove the Hard Candy line from my local Walmart...again 0.o

This was an impulse buy...I ran into Wal Mart to buy that Not Your Mother's Girl Powder...and this caught my eye. It is a beautiful peachy pink color, with violet veins. Sooo gorgeous! It's very shimmery, and works great as a highlighter or blush on my fair skin. While $9 is a little steep for a drugstore brand, I definitely think this is a find.

For me this is waaaay to shimmery to be used as a blush.Its a pretty color in the pan and you get alot of product (8g) it makes me look way to shiny. I find that the shimmer migrates to other areas of your face making you look like a 6 year old playing pretend in mom makeup drawer.
If you like shimmery blushes you will love this.

I know this is marketed as a blush, but I like to use it as a highlighter because as a blush, it doesn't show up on a NC30 skintone. I love the peachy pink colour and it has nice fine shimmer, NOT glittery. It creates an overall soft sheen to my cheeks; not harsh or frosty like I expected it to be. One thing I noticed is that it isn't pressed very well. It can be a little powdery when you sweep your brush over the product, wasting it. I recommend it for medium skintones as a highlight!

Honeymoon is a pretty peachy color with light pink veining. It is very shimmery (not glittery!), and pretty sheer. It's a great highlighter for above your cheekbones and around your temples and creates a very pretty, glowy look. I don't think its pigmented enough to be considered a blush, though. Can be used either wet or dry, though I have only used it dry so far. The bottom says 'Apply dry for a soft & delicate look. Use wet for intense, dramatic color.' The packaging is a cute white compact with silver on the top edges and black etching that says Hard Candy with some swirley designs. The packaging is easy to open, fairly compact, and sturdy. Retails for about $7 - $8 at WalMart - fairly cheap. The product kind of reminds me of MAC mineralize skinfinishes but less glittery. There are two main things I don't like about the product: its pretty sheer and unpigmented, and it has mineral oil in it. Even though it has mineral oil in it I have not broken out from using it so far, and I have pretty sensitive skin.

I love this blush. It doesn't have a lot of color pay off, but it is definitely pretty, shimmery, and adds a glow. Packaging is really cute too.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

As many have mentioned, as blush it gets 1 star but as a highligher, I give it 4 stars. I tried it on after purchasing it and it didn't show up at all. But, a few of friends wanted to know what highlighter I was using because it was really pretty. So, that's pretty much what I used this for. If you pair it with a peachy blush, it is simply to die for, ladies.

When UN Secretary General Kofi Annan recently declared the US-led invasion of Iraq "illegal," some of the most hostile reaction came from the press. "Outrageous," says Lou Dobbs. "Reprehensible," says the Chicago Tribune. But what about whether or not Annan's statement was true? We'll hear from Phyllis Bennis, of the Institute for Policy Studies.
And PBS is adding right wing programs to its lineup, using the rationale that liberal anchor Bill Moyers of the show Now with Bill Moyers needs to be balanced. Among the problems with that: Moyers is leaving the show soon. Who will then balance PBS latest additions-one show hosted by the Wall Street Journal's arch conservative editorial page and another hosted by conservative CNN fixture Tucker Carlson? We'll talk to journalist and public television producer Rory O'Connor of Globalvision.

I'm looking to find a way to get a blank text field into the a product page so that the customer can type text freely as to how they want to customize that product. And then that would need to be displayed in checkout and sent with order.
I saw the gravity forms add-on but i dont want to create hundreds of different forms for each product or can you create one for paragraph text for all products that i need that on? And does it come across the same way as details of a product?
Thanks!! !

Elder Scrolls: Kwama Kiss by Guyver89Watch
©2012-2016 Guyver89
Felt like i wanted to do a bit more Elder Scrolls art. Just started another playthrough of Morrowind and ran into the Kwamas again. Which I find fascinating so I had Cog-Rein pick up a Forager because he is curious. Even if the forager wants to bite his snout off.
Drew this in about 2 hours.
Drew this in about 2 hours.
Really nicely done! Could you imagine picking one of them up and kissing it! Eww! The Kwama looks half like it's going to attack, and half frightened.
Something from Morrowind actually got into the most popular section of 'Elder scrolls'. Well I'm surprised.
Maybe Cog-Rein will keep it as a pet?
Can you eat that thing?
If something like that came at me, I would either cry, or faint.
Ace, awesome work
every time i see a morrowind pic i want to play morrowind because i never played so i play dragonborn
Morrowind, Amazing gem. SCARY CREATURES! Asended sleepers, Dregues [water octopuss things] Hungers, Bull netches betty, Just to name a few. I miss morrowind..... Cant wait to get my pc :3
good old morrowind and its strange creatures
thats a big worm
Man, this is beautifull! It allways irritated me why I couldn't just pick up those vermin and throw them to kingdom come! I mean, instead of just standing there, being eaten to death while I were poking the air above it's head with my dagger... X( But whu, what's with the Kwama's cheeks?
BAhahahahha~I hate those things ene Ugly creatures. I love Scribs tho~! Scribs are awesome... And adorable...
Nice piece tho, I love it ^^
Nice piece tho, I love it ^^
is a kwama kiss followed by a kwama cuddle?
Then leading to Kwama spooning, all the while each stage is with a bigger kwama in their evolution. So the final stage is with a queen *shiver*
Awwww... that's cute!
Foragers: The Elder Scrolls version of lampreys!
ooh very good
I wouldnt kiss that for $100 million dollas (or gold if I was in the Elder Scrolls world)! I'd sooner have a nix-hound bite my wang off than kiss a kwama..............nix-hounds DO have mouths right?
ur argonian's colours are awesome ^^
my gosh what a cute kwama! I'd kiss it.
LOL Such a Kwama must be difficult to hold, I would be afraid...
Anyways, this is a really cool and funny idea and I love your drawing style!
Anyways, this is a really cool and funny idea and I love your drawing style!
An interesting creature to study, but picking it up is usually hazardous to one's health...
I've found a big graphic enhanced box some time ago. Now I like to play Morrowind twice.
Kwamas are ugly creatures o.ô
Kwamas are ugly creatures o.ô
That is a really fantastic image. Skies but I loved that game. Never 'finished' it, but I played it for... well, for years, really.
lol those would always attack you in morrowind.
Looks like he's getting ready to take a bite.
aaaaaah good times
Awesomely drawn
Forager looks awesome! xD
ahh...Morrowind...good times...thank you for this piece of nostalgia
I've recently started playing Morrowind again, such a beautiful game.
Great work!
Great work!
Hahaha, I love the look on their face. Both of them.
I always hated those little buggers. Always going out of their way to pester you.
Well done! I can hear the sounds of the game just looking at this... such a lovely game!
Oh my, but no way I would pick up one of these!
Oh my, but no way I would pick up one of these!
IDK I guess you could make a nice meal out of that. But go ahead and kiss, I'll be sure tell everyone about this lol
One big ass Taquila worm!
Final got a new PC, guess I finally out of excuses to play Oblivion (I'll get to Skyrim once I see the Game of the Year edition)
Final got a new PC, guess I finally out of excuses to play Oblivion (I'll get to Skyrim once I see the Game of the Year edition)
