Chandrababu Naidu walks a tightrope on Telangana issue
By R Prithvi Raj - HYDERABAD
Published: 04th Nov 2012 11:52:04 AM
The subtle shift in Telegu Desam Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu's stand on Telangana that he is not opposed to it and that he wants an all party meeting held on the issue, appears to be not going down well with the people in the region. What they probably want to hear from him is his unequivocal support for Telangana demand which is not forthcoming from him for obvious reasons.
When Naidu's padayatra took him to Shetty Atmakur near Gadwal in Mahbubnagar district, a Telangana supporter landed him in a catch 22 situation when he asked him, whether he would lead the T movement. Taken aback by the unexpected question, Naidu tried to do what he is good at, tried steering the conversation to safer zone. Naidu could not say yes or no. "Apart from the Telangana issue, there are several issues like drinking water scarcity, farmers' problems and power crisis, which are to be dealt with. If I take the responsibility of resolving the T-issue, who will fight with the government to address the day to day concerns of the people," Naidu asked, and in a subtle way said no to the supporter's request.
Whenever the issue of Telangana comes up, he uses utmost caution as though he is treading on eggshells. His professions on Telangana, which are not in the form of an outright demand for a separate state, but more in the nature of a play on words to please people in both the regions, is what is making the people in Telangana view him with suspicion. "If anyone in Telangana supports Naidu, it is not because he would get Telangana. They may look at him with interest for better governance if Congress refuses to deliver the state and the TRS fails to exert pressure on it," a Telangana farmer said.
His equivocation on T issue and his letter to the Prime Minister to call an all party meeting, has angered one of his MLAs in Seemandhra region as well. Tamballapalle legislator (Chittoor district) Anipireddy Venkata Praveen Kumar Reddy quit TDP and crossed over to Jagan camp. Before announcing his decision, he said he was deeply hurt by Naidu's approach on the bifurcation issue. "TDP MLAs in the Seemandhra region would look elsewhere if Naidu does not withdraw his letter," Anipireddy said before joining YSR Congress.
In Telangana region, Naidu had paid a heavy price for continuing to treat Seemandhra and Telangna as his "two eyes." As many as six legislators in Telangana region parted ways with him. Of them one leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy floated a Telangana party—Telangana Nagara—and won by election from Nagarkurnool. Four other legislators who became TRS MLAs after winning by elections in 2012 were: Jogu Rammna, Gampa Govardhan, Ch Ramesh (he joined TRS in 2009 itself) and Pocharam Srinviasa Reddy.
When Telangana movement became fierce after the Centre did a somersault and went back on its December 9 declaration in 2009, Naidu came out with his two eye philosophy which only made him a butt of ridicule in Telangana region as it is a conflict in terms. KCR once said: "I regard Chiranjeevi with more respect than Naidu. Chiranjeevi said he was for Samaikyandhra. But Naidu does not have guts to say he wants the state to remain united or demand a separate state for Telangana." Naidu, after the drubbing in 2010 and 2012 by elections, suffered desertions of cadres from his party. After the TRS systematically decimated the TDP, Naidu had to do something and something fast to retain the vote banks he has in both the regions. To begin with, he turned his attention to Telangana, where the party has a strong network of workers. Always doing a trapeze act in trying not to ruffle feathers of people in Telangana and Seemandhra, he steered a middle course. He kept saying he was not opposed to Telangana though the TRS demanded to know how it could be the party's stand. Its contention was that Naidu should say whether he wants a Telangana or not. With the decibel levels increasing, Naidu took one more step forward, that too a cautious one—writing to the Prime Minister to call an all party meeting to sort out the issue.
What has come as a blessing in disguise is that the pink panthers are not creating any trouble to him since KCR seems to have given them a break from agitations.

The danger this weekend is you'll look out at damaged citrus trees, and proclaim the Gulf Coast ought to leave citrus growing to south Florida. But remember, Florida's central orange groves were hit as hard or harder than Mobile's satsuma trees. And it would be as rash to give up on ALL citrus in our climate as it was to assume that ALL citrus are equally suited for growing here.
Take a deep breath and use your noggin. There's no better winter to reassess our citrus growing, and determine which citrus we grow best, and which ones may not be worth the trouble.
There isn't an easy formula for determining what citrus you can grow where. There are so many factors involved, depending on how cold it can get, how long it stays cold, what the temperatures were that proceeded it, what the wind and site conditions were like, and (by no means least) how smartly the tree was planted, how big and healthy it was, and how it was tended to before, during and after the freeze.
But I devised this little score sheet that should help you assess all the factors at once, and will help you determine whether you want to grow certain varieties of citrus or whether your current citrus planting is worth the trouble. It will also help you prioritize the most effective steps you can take to help your citrus make it through the next cold spell.
Just for taking the test, we'll spot you 25 to start (you've already demonstrated that you care what happens to your citrus, and that's a major step forward). As you take the test, you'll add and subtract from that 25.
A bad winter accounts for only part of the score. Folks who do everything right can accumulate 75 additional points, and that means that especially diligent gardeners in Mobile can harvest oranges most years and unusually intrepid gardeners in Evergreen may succeed with satsumas. But in a winter like this one, no one scores a perfect 100, and gardeners who grow trees out of a comfortable climate zone (those of you who grow oranges in Mobile or satsumas in Evergreen) are going to have to plan carefully to avoid a tree-shattering failure.
If your final score is 75 to 100, you're either in an unusually fortunate place, or you've taken just about every reasonable step to protect your citrus. Your citrus should have come through with minor damage at worst, and should stand up to all but the most extreme freezes of the century.
If you score between 50 and 75 (as many of us will), your tree is vulnerable to some damage from regular winter freezes (those that historically occur once or more each decade), and you should find a way to add some more points.
My satsuma scored a 65, and that means I need to add some points, particularly from questions 3-9, before the next hard freeze. Just weeding out around my citrus and covering the top with a tarp during a really hard freeze could catapult me into the ranks of the very nearly cold-proof satsuma growers.
If you score below 50, there's a good chance you've already seen some damage on your citrus, and will see worse, even if temperatures don't get unusually low. If you want to continue to enjoy satsumas each November, you need to get serious about addressing the factors you can still control, such as those addressed by questions 3 through 10. Grapefruit growers in Pascagoula, Mobile, Fairhope and similar climate zones are going to have to be especially diligent to break 50.
If you have only true lemons or limes, and they're planted outside in the ground, you've needn't take this test. Where those citrus are concerned, you've already made a Zero, as you're likely to discover in the next few weeks.
1. Is your tree hardy without special protection during average winter lows in your area?
These are not the lowest lows, but rather the lows we can expect to see most years. The average winter low is about 25 degrees on Dauphin Island (good for satsumas, OK for some oranges, just barely good enough for grapefruit); near 20 degrees in Mobile, Pascagoula and Fairhope (good for satsumas, but oranges and grapefruit will require extra protection); 15 degrees in Citronelle and Evergreen (just barely enough for bare satsumas).
If you answered yes, ADD 20 points to your starting score of 25. GRAPH2. Is your tree planted in a warm "microclimate" — for example, in a protected southeast-facing courtyard, next to a pool, or under a partially-open pine canopy? ADD 15.
3. ADD 15 points if you protected your tree with a properly placed cloth cover or polypropylene frost blanket on the coldest nights. Or SUBTRACT 5 points if your tarp was polyethylene or similar clear or colored plastic sheeting that came in contact with the leaves; or if you tied the cover tight around the trunk of the tree rather than allowing it to spread out enough to capture the heat of the ground; or if you didn't remove it when the nights were above 28 degrees.
(Coverings provide several degrees of protection primarily by trapping heat from the soil; polyethylene draws heat away from leaf surfaces much more efficiently than cotton sheets or canvas or spun polypropylene frost blankets; continuous protection from normal cool temperatures makes plants less hardy.)
4. ADD 10 points if you combined some source of SAFE external heat (such as big-bulb Christmas lights) with a cover on the coldest nights.
5. ADD 5 points if your tree is older than 5 years, or ADD 10 if your tree is older than 10 years, or SUBTRACT 10 if your tree is younger than 3 years.
6. Is the ground under your tree bare dirt, free of grass and weeds? ADD 5.
(Bare ground releases much more heat into the canopy of the tree than ground covered with grass, weeds or fresh mulch — apply mulches to citrus only in spring.)
7. Has your tree been properly fertilized and cared for? ADD 5.
8. Did you fertilize after July 31, or prune heavily after June 30? SUBTRACT 10.
9. Does your tree still have fruit on it? SUBTRACT 5. (Trees still trying to support fruit are less hardy than trees without fruit.)
10. Did you leave plastic sheeting on your tree after 7:30 a.m.? SUBTRACT 15. (Solid plastic tarps can quickly produce excess heat that burns the leaves.)
11. For satsumas, SUBTRACT 15 if the minimum temperature drops below 18 degrees; SUBTRACT 30 if the minimum drops to 15 or below; SUBTRACT 50 if to 12 degrees or below.
For grapefruit, oranges and Meyer lemon, SUBTRACT 15 if the minimum drops below 25 degrees; SUBTRACT 30 if it falls to 20 degrees or below; SUBTRACT 50 if it falls below 18 degrees.
(In Mobile, years with temperatures 18 or below usually occur two or more times each decade; temperatures of 15 degrees or below can be expected in about 10 out of every 100 years. On Dauphin Island, such temperatures are only slightly less frequent; at Evergreen, temperatures 15 and below occur three or more years each decade.)
12. If temperatures below 25 degrees follow a long warm spell, SUBTRACT 15. If temperatures below 25 come after weeks of consistently cool weather, ADD 10.
13. Do daytime temperatures following the freeze recover to the 50s and 60s? ADD 5.
(Gradually warming daytime temperatures often allow trees to produce new tissue that "walls off" the rot in damaged areas.)
14. For satsumas, SUBTRACT 10 if nighttime temperatures stay below 25 for 6 or more hours.
For grapefruit, oranges and Meyer lemon, SUBTRACT 10 if nighttime temperatures stay below 25 for more than 4 hours.
15. For all citrus, SUBTRACT 5 if hard frosts (below 25 degrees for several hours) occur repeatedly for more than a few days.
16. Is your yard or your tree in a low spot that collects cold air and gets much colder than surrounding areas? SUBTRACT 15
17. Does the tree have morning shade in winter? ADD 5. (If frozen evergreen leaves warm up too rapidly in morning sunlight, the damage can be worsened.)
18. Will the tree be exposed to wind blowing more than 5 miles per hour during a hard freeze? SUBTRACT 5. (Strong winds draw down the plant's heat reserves more quickly.)
19. Does your tree mature top quality fruit before the first string of sub-28 degree days freezes the fruit itself? If yes, ADD 5.
In Mobile, temperatures 28 degrees or below don't usually occur until later in December (perfect for fall-ripening satsumas, OK for early oranges, poor for winter- and spring-ripening Navel oranges and grapefruit); in Evergreen, those temperatures usually descend in late November (OK for satsumas, terrible for oranges); and on Dauphin Island, they often hold off until January (good for some oranges, OK for some early grapefruit).
20. After the cold spell, will you try to prune your tree of dead wood before April 15? SUBTRACT 10. (Pruning before late spring further weakens the tree.)

Republicans who are being "investigated". It's going to the
For example, over $400,000 is going to the #2 Democrat on
the committee, Melissa Bean (D - IL 8th). That accounts for
roughly one third of her total fundraising, and over half of the PAC
money, while individual donors from her affluent hometown add up to less
than $40,000. Since this suburban Chicago district isn't exactly a
center of the financial services industry, does that make anybody else
wonder that she is getting more PAC money from this industry than Barney
Frank, and almost as much in total as Nancy Pelosi? Who is she
representing in Washington?
If this bothers you, consider supporting her opponent,
Joe Walsh.
There may be nothing illegal or unethical about it, but voters need to
stand up to the hypocrisy about such special interests.
Joe Walsh for US Congress, (R) IL 8th

primary election results from Feb 2 - highlights
Congress - 8th District -
Joe Walsh
- a Tea Party favorite won 35-25 in a crowded field of candidates
News media and party insiders had favored other candidates, but Joe
organized many energetic volunteers who worked very hard to achieve this
victory, and will do so again. There is a very good chance of
defeating incumbent Melissa Bean (D) in November. Please help his
Congress - 11th District -
Adam Kinzinger
won the race to replace incumbent Debbie Halvorson (D). He had
been actively supported by Tea Party and 9/12 groups in the greater
Joliet / Will County area. Once again, this is an important
campaign which Tea Party folks can enthusiastically support.
Congress - 10th District -
Robert Dold
- won the race to replace Mark Kirk in a field of many candidates.
He is also a conservative who should attract strong support to hold this
seat in 2010.
Congress - 14th
District -
Randy Hultgren - surprised many observers by winning the race against Denny Hastert's son Ethan
Hastert, for whom Newt Gingrich had done a fundraising appearance.
Several other conservative candidates had dropped out of this race
fairly early, which helped Hultgren. Hopefully the party
organization will get the message about how they anoint their friends as
US Senate:
the RINO party insider and liberal news media favorite
Mark Kirk won decisively. On the Democratic side, he will be
up against Obama friend Alexi Giannoulias for the Senate seat previously
held by Barack Obama. Various Tea Party and 9/12 groups had
favored Patrick Hughes, who finished second (losing roughly 57% - 19% -
not yet final), and conservative Judge Don Lowery, who finished far
behind (around 8%).
Governor -
Bill Brady narrowly won the race against
Dillard and former IL GOP chairman Andy McKenna in a crowded
field. At
least Andy McKenna lost (after running attack ads against the other
leaders, while ducking debates). There were popular conservative candidates
favored by Tea Party groups, such as
Dan Proft and
Andrzejewski, but they finished far behind, and that just split away
conservative votes in this race. That led to a 20% - 20% - 19%
split among the three leaders. The Democratic race for Governor
was also very tight. Incumbent Pat Quinn won.
Republicans have a good chance to win in November, by which time the
trial of former Governor Rod Blagojevich will remind voters of his
Illinois Lt.
Governor -
Jason Plummer
won in a crowded field, and also deserves support in November.
Illinois Comptroller -
Judy Baar Topinka
won decisively. Too bad. Jim Dodge finished third.
As in 2009, local Tea Party and 9/12 groups or tax issue
groups are planning many local rallies.
Chicago Tax Day Tea Party in Federal Plaza (130 S. Dearborn) is
at noon on April 15. There are also plans for volunteers to help
promote the rally at suburban and downtown
commuter rail stations. A separate rally is planned from 3-5
pm in Daley Plaza. There are also rallies in Peoria, Decatur, and
other cities. Check with your local organizers for details.
Of course, Giannoulias'
friendship with Obama had nothing to do with this - just as we are
supposed to believe that the SEC complaint against Goldman Sachs by a
3-2 partisan vote, after months of investigations, just happened to be a
coincidence with Obama's push for new financial industry regulatory
powers. Nothing to see here, folks, move along, move along.

"If you would
like to see more facts and figures, check out the Web site
, created by the nonpartisan Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of
Chicago. A visit to the site shows a few pictures that are worth a
thousand words -- and billions of dollars."
Republicans should laugh like a sitcom laugh-track, rather than shout
"You lie!", during the State of Delusion address tonight. Get Obama off
script and angry by showing that nobody is taking his rhetoric seriously
now. Don't be the "party of no". Be the party of "Are you kidding?"
Laugh at the insanity of his proposals. Then, pull a classic
Reagan move, as with Gorbachev. Smile and say, "Let me tell you why we
don't trust you."
Senator John McCain has sent out an e-mail in Illinois
to strongly endorse the Senate campaign of Mark Kirk. If that
didn't give you reason enough to vote against Kirk yet, check out
sites such as
Champion News, or use our new
Search: Illinois Politics
tool to look up what others are saying about Kirk.
Call McCain's
office and tell him to butt out of Illinois politics since he is
obviously clueless about how to win elections in this state.
Kick Mark Kirk to the curb
Don't forget - if Mark Kirk has the nerve to
show up - to ask him about why he has now reversed his opposition to
having Guantanamo prisoners transferred to Thomson after initially
seizing the chance to get some free media publicity by pretending to be
standing up to the administration. Now he claims to be a realist
on the premise that it is a done deal already, and thus pointless for
to oppose it. There is more honor among thieves in Chicago than
among politicians. Send Mark
Kirk a
dead fish.

Perhaps Republican leaders will
finally wake up before making such endorsements for 2010 primaries.
We have a similar problem in Illinois with the Mark Kirk campaign as a
liberal Republican candidate for US Senator to replace Roland Burris.
Hopefully voters will not follow party leadership in their support of
his campaign, in which case the February 2 primary in Illinois may help
to change "the Chicago way" of deals among party leaders who are out of
touch with voters and play power games with other people's money.
Newt Gingrich is in damage control mode now - endorsing Hoffman,
and "deeply disappointed" with Dede. Perhaps he would like to
encourage Illinois Republican Party leaders to
Senate Bill 600 in the Illinois legislature so that Illinois
Republican voters can finally pick their party leaders directly?

Daily Herald interview with the new GOP chairman for Illinois, Pat
Brady. He already seems to be endorsing Mark Kirk in the belief
that he will win. That's the stated priority - not principles.
Here's an
recent lawsuit against one of her major donors. Is anybody
else bothered by the $800,000+ in out of state contributions to her
campaigns? It seems remarkable that she has been able to raise $3
- $4 million in 2006 and 2008 to defend this previously Republican seat.
Her top donor has been the pro-choice Democratic PAC Emily's List, plus
various labor unions. Is she really representing this district in
DC, or serving the Democratic Party as a fairly reliable vote?
This is not a
529, PAC, or a promotional organization for any candidate. The
idea is simply to foster social networking among individuals who want to
do something to replace Melissa Bean in 2010.
Please, somebody do the same to help remove Mark Kirk - who voted for
the cap and trade bill!

One is the creation of a new "Committee of 100"

For The Single And Seeking: The Best U.S. Cities To Find A Date In 2012 (Do You Already Live There??)
Some of the cities that made this list will probably come as a surprise to you. Okay: most of them probably will. But this list is actually based on some science.
The good folks at The Daily Beast have named the top 25 cities in which to date in 2012 based on the following criteria:
Available singles: Using summary Census data from 2008 to 2010, we took into account the percentage of men who are single (never married, divorced, or widowed) over age 15, and the percentage of women over age 15 who are single; we also accounted for the percentage of total singles in each city. The cities that performed the best had a roughly equal percentage of single men and women, and a high percentage of overall singles.
Dating costs: Using cost-of-living data from the third quarter of 2011 and average-salary data for nonfamily households (people living alone or with nonrelatives) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The cities that performed best had a relatively high average salary for singles and a low overall cost of living, freeing up more cash for dating.
Mental and physical health: Using the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which measures emotional and physical health, among other things—a city with healthy residents is a city where people are going to be more open to putting themselves out on the dating scene.
Finally, we used Google Trends to measure the popularity of five major dating websites: Match.com, eHarmony.com, okCupid.com, Plentyoffish.com, and Zoosk.com. A sliding scale of bonus points were given to cities that ranked in the top 10 for each website.

Missouri businesses will pay higher unemployment
taxes next year in order to pay down a state debt to the federal government.
Missouri began borrowing from the federal government in 2008 to pay jobless benefits after an economic downturn drained the state's unemployment benefits trust fund. That debt has remained outstanding for several years.
Businesses are paying a surcharge of $42 per employee this year to help pay down that debt. The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry said businesses will have to pay $63 per employee in 2014.
The chamber said Missouri is one of 14 states being hit with a higher tax rate to help pay down its federal loan. The chamber said Missouri owes $308 million to the federal government.

Everyone with business in one of the many Army, NASA or other federal offices on the post is expected to get a bit of relief from Monday's grand opening of a new Visitors Center at the east Martin Road Gate 1 entrance.
It will ease congestion and take some pressure off the only other visitor's center at the arsenal's Gate 9 Rideout Road/Research Park Boulevard entrance just off Interstate 565, said Maj. Gen. Jim Rogers, commander of the arsenal.
The new center opens as construction is beginning on the massive Redstone Gateway office park near Gate 9, and as more people will be driving on and off the arsenal because of federal positions moving here under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decision.
"This building is just indicative of how we're thinking ahead, getting ready for the onslaught of more people coming in," Rogers said. "So we can accommodate them easily and it won't be as painful to get into this post."
In addition to processing visitors, both centers will be able to handle permanent vehicle decals and security badges.
Garrison Commander Col. Robert Pastorelli, in effect the arsenal's "mayor," said the center was badly needed.
"We were missing on the east side of the arsenal something of this caliber, like we have over on Gate 9," he said.
Pastorelli said Redstone is also working with state officials to get some new signs on I-565, U.S. 72 or U.S. 431 "to better tell you which way to come into the arsenal," he said. "That is what we're working toward."
The new visitor's center is a case of building on the arsenal's past to prepare for the future. It incorporates the original 1,700-square-foot structure that went up in 1961 as a "Control and Identification Building" and was expanded by 1,455 square feet in 1963.
It was closed in the 1990s when the "badging" operations were moved elsewhere. Over the last year, the building was gutted, given a new roof, electrical and mechanical systems, expanded and remodeled to become a visitor's center with six processing stations - including one that features wheelchair access - and lobby seating for 87.
"I think what we'll see is this will be a great addition to the arsenal," Pastorelli said.
"Not a big project, but a very important project for us."
The old, red "REDSTONE ARSENAL" lettering that was above the gate has been refurbished and is now across the back lobby wall visitors face as they enter the building.
And an original, wooden phone stall from 1963 has been refurbished and placed in the lobby, complete with an original, working, heavy black rotary telephone.

There's been a lot of talk on here about it, but have you read The Vegetarian Myth? It might at least help you get over the gross out factor.
The only other suggestion/question I have is, what about fish?
Just read the book and it makes so much sense!
I was recently tested and as I long suspected am allergic to gluten, dairy, and eggs, (also avocados and almonds?) I'm not allergic to any meats. Problem is I have been a vegetarian for many years. Have been eating a little meat now and it makes me feel nauseated and heavy. Also have basic gross out that I am eating a cow, pig, etc. Anyone else have these problems and/or suggestions? How about any alternative non-dairy, non-meat protein sources?
Help and thanks!
There's been a lot of talk on here about it, but have you read The Vegetarian Myth? It might at least help you get over the gross out factor.
The only other suggestion/question I have is, what about fish?
I'm a reformed vegetarian, myself.
What helped me in the beginning were STIRFRIES and SOUPS.
It's easier to eat a soup with chunks of cut up chicken than to eat a drumstick at first. It's easier to eat a nice, hearty vegetable stirfry with pieces of fish cooked with coconut milk and lots of spices than a rare steak at first. The stuff cut up looks a little like tofu chunks.
It helped me, too, that when I did go back to eating meat, I was fastidious about my sources. I pretty much only buy from farmers whose farms I have visited so I can see how they treat the animals. As long as they are treated well, pastured, grassfed, free-range, etc., I feel good about the choices I make.
It also helps to say a prayer or blessing before meals, thanking the animal for its nourishment, kind of with the reverence that traditional hunters feel for their prey.
Good luck....and keep at it,
Thank you for your support and suggestions!
I'm going to have to read The Vegetarian Myth because the gross out/upset factor is a major stumbling block. It has been recommended several times now by ex-vegetarians so it must be good - thank you.
Unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever be able to eat fish, I can't even stand the smell of it. It's more of a physical aversion than a mental one.
That's very hardcore, going to the farms. I admire your dedication to checking on the quality of the animal's life but if I actually looked into those big brown eyes, it would make it even harder. I will try your suggestion of cutting meat up and putting it in soups and stir fries.
Most of all, I like the idea of saying a prayer before meals and thanking the animal for its nourishment. That may help me more than anything else I have read, gratitude and reverence. Thank you very much for that suggestion. An animal is so much more than just calories and protein and that is a beautiful way to acknowledge it. There are many Native American stories about their relationship with the land and plants and animals. I think that is what is missing for me here, a sense of spirituality and "right living." Thinking more about it, I'm beginning to understand more how you could go to the farms and later eat the animals.
Hi there... just a little note, as the daughter of a commercial fisherman... FRESH fish, does not smell AT ALL! If you can smell it... toss it... yuck!
You might try some white fish (halibut, tilapia, etc.) Find a fish monger... and you're likely to be set... Good luck with the meat issue. I'm sure it's a hard conversion...
Mindi, look in those soft brown eyes, and then realize that they wouldn't be there at all if no one ate meat. That animal wouldn't have a life, good, bad, or indifferent. If the life is good, feel gratitude that you can be part of keeping that creature, contented, in its pasture.
PrimalWannabe, just want to let you know that I passed the prayer suggestion on and another member found it helpful as well - thank you.
twinmama, it's quite possible that I have never had FRESH fish. I will have to try it as an experiment and see - thank you for the tip.
piano-doctor-lady, hi again, and thanks again, I have to figure our how this website works! LOL
As far as I'm concerned, Mindi, this website works damned well! Never found anyplace quite like it.
Keep in mind that part of the nausea could be from coming off of the grains/carbs. It happens to a lot of people. You might want to check out this website:
It has information about resources that humanely raise the cattle, etc. I try to use these kinds of sources, along with organic products. I think that kind of appreciation for the source of all food is important.
Thank you for the link Catalina. I'm still learning what things like "certified humane" really mean. The website makes it very clear.
I have to say that I am extremely shocked at how few farms and ranches have this certification! The majority of them are for eggs. I hope the popularity of Primal Blueprint increases the demand for humanely raised animals.
That said, it's a real stretch for me to pay the extra money for organic, certified humane, and other high quality foods. (Still feels weird to call animals food.) I'm shifting my budget around so I can make it a priority. This is a big lifestyle change for me. I know I'm going to have to ease into it, but I once I get up to speed I have no doubt I will feel much better than I do now.
I do think the nausea is from eating meat and it has been suggested that I try digestive enzymes, so I'll look into that.
The fact that people on the forum are so supportive and helpful also speaks well for this diet/lifestyle.
Thanks again.

Jack Jeffery Environment and Sustainability Lecture
Date: 27th October 2009
Time: 17:30
Venue: Curtis Auditorium, Herschel Building (opposite Haymarket Metro)
Governments are desperate to put the current recession behind them as fast
as possible. Trillions of dollars have been injected into the global economy to that effect – but little of it has been focussed on genuinely sustainable investments. That increases the likelihood of an even graver recession in the near future – induced by accelerating climate change, high energy prices and resource shortages. So what will it take to get world leaders to address this ultimate challenge?
Jonathon Porritt, Co-Founder of Forum for the Future, is an eminent writer, broadcaster and commentator on sustainable development. Established in 1996, Forum for the Future is now the UK's leading sustainable development charity, with 70 staff and over 100 partner organisations, including some of the world's leading companies.
Jonathon was appointed by the Prime Minister as Chairman of the UK Sustainable Development Commission in July 2000. This is the Government's principal source of independent advice across the whole sustainable development agenda. In addition, he has been a member of the Board of the South West Regional Development Agency since December 1999, and is Co-Director of The Prince of Wales's Business and Environment Programme which runs Senior Executives' Seminars in Cambridge, Salzburg, South Africa and the USA. In 2005 he became a Non-Executive Director of Wessex Water, and a Trustee of the Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy.
He was formerly Director of Friends of the Earth (1984-90); co-chair of the Green Party (1980-83) of which he is still a member; chairman of UNED-UK (1993-96); chairman of Sustainability South West, the South West Round Table for Sustainable Development (1999-2001); a Trustee of WWF UK (1991-2005).
His latest books are Capitalism As If The World Matters (Earthscan, revised 2007), Globalism & Regionalism (Black Dog 2008).
Jonathon received a CBE in January 2000 for services to environmental protection.FREE ADMISSION TO THE LECTURE

The cold snap across much of the country is also driving up the price of heating oil.
USA Today has reported the rise of unemployment has millions of families looking for heating assistance.
Last month, state directors of the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program reported that the number of households receiving heating aid rose from 6.1 million in 2008 to 8.3 in 2009.
The National Energy Assistance Directors Association projects a 20% increase this year.
The price of oil jumped from $70 a barrel last month to more than $82, greatly effecting the price of home heating oil.
Prices at the gas pump have also gone up in the past three weeks. The average price of regular gas is now up an average of 14 cents, topping out at $2.74 a gallon.

Every now and then, you read a piece and think: Yes. Thank you. This is what I've been waiting to read.
So it was with this contribution by Stephen S. Roach to The New York Times this week. I read it shortly after watching Barbara Walters interview president-elect Barack Obama. Walters asked Obama if he would be calling on the American people to sacrifice, and our new president gave the same answer he always does: He'd be asking people to cut down on using energy around the house.
Come on, Barack. You've got more love flowing your way than any new president in memory, and that love creates an opportunity. People want to be involved; they're hungry to be involved. And many middle-class Americans, I think, share this intrinsic knowledge: The way we've been living for decades - drawn into these family-based pyramid schemes in which our debts dramatically, almost recklessly, outweigh what we earn and save - doesn't make sense financially, practically, spiritually. It's crashing down around us now, and we desperately need someone willing to say that out loud.
It is isn't even a matter of sacrifice so much as it is a question of rethinking what we do and where we're going. Done wisely, it is a presidential appeal that would fundamentally appeal both to progressives and conservatives; the opportunity is similar to the lost chance for national unity, through selflessness, that existed in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
You feel the power in the continuing flood of response to the Elmwood and South Geddes blogs: All too often, the way we've lived for the last 20 or 30 years has left Americans feeling more isolated - and, in a profound way, much less happy.
That presidential call would resonate, more than ever, during the Yuletide season.
Come on, Barack. We can do more than changing light bulbs.

Tiffin University's School of Business hosted the second annual Summit to Success Friday.
The summit, "Preparing Today's Business Students for Tomorrow," took place in TU's Osceola Theatre. The event, coordinated by The Business Club, helped students come in contact with several area business executives to get a firsthand look at what it takes to be successful in the corporate world.
An executive panel was led by Maria Hemminger, partner and owner of MJ Recruiters; Glenda Lehman Ervin, vice president of marketing of Lehman's; Andrew Felter, president and CEO of Webster Industries; and Jeff Taylor, assistant professor at Purchase College.
Breakout sessions were conducted throughout the day presenting students with topics such as real experiences in global business; how to be successful in the accounting and business world; human resources today; event planning; time management; and how to prepare for an interview.
The keynote speaker was Jeff Oravitz, president and CEO of MetoKote Corp., based in Lima. He spoke to students about the history of the company and how one gets to be a CEO of a global company and what his role means.
"I fell in love with the business' side business," Oravitz said. "Becoming a CEO is a long and winding road."
Oravitz shared lessons he has learned.
"First, marry the right person and trust in God because you can't do it by yourself," he said. "Make sure you also seek out assignments that will broaden your skill base and get out of your comfort zone. Take ownership of your education and earn global experience quickly."
Oravitz said a CEO has three main constituencies - customers, employees and shareholders."
"I have never worked so hard, worried so much and had the most fun. I wish all of you the best of luck and the best success in your lives," he said.

As the season turns to autumn and leaves begin to fall from the trees, block continues to go up on the site of the future Williamsport Area Middle School.
"I love how it's coming together," said George Dickerson, on-site construction manager, on the progress of the project.
The goal for the project is to have the entire building enclosed and to have mechanical systems in place as winter approaches so it can remain on schedule for a mid-July finish.
"We're still right on schedule. We haven't lost anything. We're trying to gain (time)," Dickerson said "It's important (to have the building enclosed by winter) because we have to have a continuation during the winter."
As cement is being laid for a new main entrance, workers continue to build up walls and install mechanical systems in a new addition to the former Roosevelt Middle School. The foundation of the second floor of the new section is in place. Construction for walls on the second floor also is underway.
Dickerson said that it's the "main focus" of the project now so workers can control the temperatures inside the building to continue work no matter what the weather outside is. Roofers are working on the existing section of the building so that they can mobilize once the addition is ready.
"That's the biggest milestone, for us to close (the building) in," Dickerson said.
Although workers still are building walls in the new section, the existing section of the building already has drywall up and new windows installed.
"I would say within the next three weeks we'll be painting," Dickerson said of the existing section of the school.
Dickerson explained that each of the classrooms will have "little mechanical rooms." He said this will help create an enjoyable environment for each room.
He used a classroom with students who were just at a physical education class as an example.
"They're huffing and puffing, ready for a nap. The system knows to pump some fresh air in to keep these kids awake," he said.
Dickerson added that the project hasn't seen any problems.
"This really hasn't been too bad. I can't really think of anything that's held us up," he said.
The only slight problem he's encountered is with how much water the property had absorbed before construction began. He explained that the ground where the building sits took on all of the water that ran off the hill behind it.
To fix the problem, a large water basin was installed under the ground behind the building, which will collect the water and dispose of it through another drain away from the building.
"Then the water doesn't come down here," Dickerson explained.
The school's new main entrance will be the last part of the building to be constructed because other sections have required large pieces of equipment, which come through the front entrance.
Dickerson added that since the school already is slated to open August 2013, there is no "whether or not," when it comes to finishing on schedule.
"We will make it. We always do. It's just how easy it is (to complete)," Dickerson said.
He said work just needs to continue as it has.
"It's all important so we just keep pushing," Dickerson said.

Dr. Li solved my eye problems when other doctors were unable to. I have been going to him since 2009. He performed cataract surgery on both eyes. I highly recommend him.
I had an appointment scheduled with a different doctor. After seeing how quickly and how well Dr. Li worked with my husband's condition, I changed doctors and had my own procedure done with Dr. Li.
I am very pleased with the care I have received. The office visit, surgery, and after surgery follow up was excellent.
Dr. Li and his staff instill as sense of professionalism and comfort. The most prompt and courteous office and surgical facility visits I have experienced.
I would, and have, recommended Dr. Li to friends and all of my family uses himâ¦parents, husband, ETC. I find him to be patient, respectful and easy to like. I love his receptionistâ¦who is a "jack of all trades.' I think. She is always courteous, kind and goes out of her way to be cooperative. I am very glad that we use Dr. Li!
I have had cataracts on both eyes, 2 years apart. Dr. Li did the surgery for both eyes. He was professional and excellent. My vision is now bright and 20/20. I would highly recommend Dr. Li if you need cataract surgery. Thank you Dr. Li and Eileen!
When I was referred to Dr. Li for cataract surgery, I did not know anything about him. Then I found out from friends that he did their surgery and they were all pleased with the outcome. After hearing this and reading his background, I knew that I could put my trust in him...eyes are very important to all of us. He spends a lot of time explaining various things and answers all your questions. You never feel like he is "rushing" on to the next patient. After my informative consultation, I scheduled my first cataract surgery for Jan.8, 2014 and will have the second one later on. Dr. Li, thanks so much for helping not only me, but everyone else that comes to you for help to see better. P.S. Also, thanks to Eileen, the receptionist, who is very pleasant and caring.
Dr. Li is a wonderful ophthalmologist. He is very thorough and explained the cataract surgery in layman's terms. His office staff is very courteous and I would highly recommend him.
Everything about my eye surgery was made very easy and comfortable. Dr. Li was excellent at diagnosing, preparing and performing my surgery and his staff made it all smooth and efficient. I will be using Dr. Li for my other eye surgery.
Dr. Li is very organized taking patients from one room to another with different equipment in each room. He examined my eyes and now has inserted a new lens in my left cataract eye. Today I set an appointment for the same procedure in my right eye. I go with confidence that my eyesight returns to be clearer and colors more vibrant.
I had problems for several years with my eyes. Dr. Li was the first doctor to accurately diagnose the problem and give me a simple solution. He is also an excellent cataract surgeon. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Li truly cares about his patients. I have complete trust and confidence in him. His follow up care is excellent. I would recommend highly to anyone needing the services he provides.
Dr. Li has done an outstanding job in diagnosing and treating my chronic dry eyes. He always greets me with a smile and asks me if anything has changed. He is available when I arrive and quickly gets me through my appointment.
Dr. Li is an outstanding Ophthalmologist, very serious in his practice, but has a quick smile and wonderful sense of humor. My eyes, and they have their problems, feel very comfortable in his care.
Dr. Li was recommended by my primary care physician and it was a very good choice. I have had three surgeries with him and like his approach to his patients and his skills. Eact time, the person who accompanied me was impressed with the time and care he took in explaining the follow up routine and answering questions.
Excellent doctor
Dr. Li seems to be a very competent and knowledgeable opthalmologist..
Yes, I would choose this doctor again.

aid! i obligation a cure for length dull pain?
its driving me crazy
its driving you crazy now you know what us guys
enjoy to go threw
dance to the Doctor they will give you pills.
I use a heat pad on my lower stomach near a dose of pain relievers. This is a simply cure while at home. If you are out carry one of those thermo-care portal heating pad it sticks to your underwear or pants and works wonders. I hope this help.
Doing some gentle exercise and a hot tub helps. Panadol Extra are also rather effective.
yo, IM me. sick relax u. without using my hand.. and fingures
The doctors do have tablets for it but you own to convince your doctor that the pains are bad ample.
Get a hot water bottle flood it with as heat up water as you can stand if you do not hold a hot water bottle attain a bottle fill it beside very heat water and apply it to your stomach nouns with a sopping cloth around it. You can also use a heating wipe. This will help relax your muscles to lower the cramping. Drinking milk or taking calcium make sure it is a better source than cow bone calcium as this may hold many beefy metals in it as it commonly comes from older bones of cattle such as oyster shell calcium. Calcium surrounded by the body helps bring to the fore the level at which your fortitude cells excite to throbbing such that you will be less senstive to backache which is a part of the problem. Also you inevitability calcium to build cells, give a hand with clotting etc. There are few teas out at hand and natural herb that help beside pain and can relieve relax you. Camomile is one suggested for sleep and muscle relaxation but be sure to heat the hose down to a boil take it rotten the heat after allow the tea bags to steep/soak surrounded by the hot water. Valerian and hops are suggested to serve sleep and may help beside relaxation of muscles but if used over a great length of time may cause constipation. If you are getting desiccated from menstruation then it may motive constipation such that it can cause other pressure on the uterus such that drinking plenty of water up to the needed day by day requirement of 8 eight ounce glasses may backing.
Mine gets unpromising and Midol works for me really well. As soon as you hardly feel the strain coming on then cart 2 maximum strength Menstrual Complete Midol. If you take them after the distress sets in later they won't work. If you take them past it does then they work really powerfully. When they wear off you receive that little bloating pain again and later take some more. If your discomfort is extreme then jump to your doctor because there is a designation for bad time pain and he can tender you the good stuff.
I transport Liquid Neurofen - this really helps. :-)
I find instinctively super strength pain killer do the trick nicely!
But for a few other things to try..
Lie on your side and bring your knees up to your chest contained by the foetal position.
Try massaging your stomach where on earth the pain is (it's deeply muscle cramp so you need to rub down the muscle as best you can)
Try deep breathing, approaching women in chore breathe, to oxygenate your muscles.
Hot water bottles are also fantastic.
On a personal information, I don't know why, but I've found drinking a lot of river before and during my time really helps the undamaged process.
Whether it makes everything thinner(!) and easier to evacuate I don't know but it categorically helps.
Now turn eat chocolate and see rubbish TV in your pyjamas and look after yourself.
Try lots of sex. That seem to help my first wife! lol (sorry, I couldn't resist). There are over the counter medication that may help, but the hot hose bottle or heating wipe suggestions seem to donate some relief. If that's not plenty then you should speak to your doctor and be sure that you don't hold other issues. He may also prescribe stronger pain medication.
Love, Hope, & Peace,
Cal-el & Swissy
I'm not sure of the spelling of some of these things but I went to my doctor in the region of it, a female doctor, I found that she be more understanding roughly speaking it and she suggested three things for me.
The pill, which I declined. Apparently it does somethign to regulate your body or something along those lines and make the pain smaller number.
Stemotil, I used to get such intense pains I in fact threw up. This is a pill you can't get on repeat prescription, it's tiny but it does the trick. If you're consciousness queasy, pop one and it soothes your stomach. It's only ever former me once but that's because I took it about ten second before my stomach turned over. I wouldn't ask for this unless you're really desperate. The first time I took it I nearly collapsed. It made me so tired.
Mefanamic sour tablets, reasonably sized sickly things, for the cramps and the pain. I own these on repeat prescription and they're fantastic. I can take up to three a morning and they're the type I can take contained by advance of your time, just back the pain begin. However, if the pain have already started, you're bent double in agony and can scarcely move through the torment, reaching for these may be a bit pointless. It takes ages for them to work.
When surrounded by doubt, reach for the paracetamol. I loathe taking it because I'm terrible at swallowing pills, and it starts breaking down right now in your mouth, but if you can find it down then it works justifiably well, lately don't put anything heavy against your stomach otherwise the cramp will start up again.
So to be honest, the best thing you can do is see a doctor. I know you've put this underneath alternative medicine, but I find that when most associates are looking for a way of escaping the doctor, it's not really the doctor they're running away from, it's the monotonous hours spent in the waiting room, where on earth you're just as possible to catch something as you are to cure what you've get. Do what I do, take a book and drink one of those yogurty drinks that are supposed to boost your immune system until that time you set foot in the waiting room.
Some relatives also like reheat baths and there's a product out there, some sort of magnets. Apparently if you lay them across your stomach they're supposed to ease/stop the affliction within an hour or two. I've never tried the magnets and I've hear mixed reviews about them. One of my friends said she feel better than ever after using them while another friend of mine said they had no effect and that she completed up reaching for the drugs.
Exercise also helps, although it's the one piece you never feel close to doing.
IN CASE YOU'D LIKE TO TRY WHAT WORKS for members of my kith and kin .
NO CHEMICALS or DRUGS! .
Excellent relief have been experienced next to a change of diet (much smaller amount animal protein, + balanced), + addition of HERBS!:
Valerian Root
White Willow Bark
These are singular a Few that seem to work VERY WELL for the dull pain of menstruation.
Tinctures taken on an empty stomach give the impression of being to go to work fastest. If instructions don't suggest putting the drops contained by water, hold them below your tongue. There is a gland there that allows some of the food contained by your mouth to go directly into the blood stream -- much faster than taking the other route!
Dry herb --take these with a full chalice of water-- take an hour back effects are felt. So, if you hold Excruciating pain, you'll want to rob the Next dose an hour BEFORE the Last dose will 'wear off'. (EX: 1 hour to start working; wears stale at the beginning of the 5th hour; so whip next dose 4 hrs after the second dose. Check out the timing that works best for you.)
Start with the recommended amount. If there's no nouns after 1+1/2 hrs, take another dose. Do NOT embezzle too much! Especially if you combine the herbs. They become stronger when combined. We prefer unbroken herbs, to some extent than standardized. These contain all the constituents surrounded by that part/s of the plant (leaf/root/bark), instead of just one constituent. They tend to harmonize each other's commotion & make them safer to use.
Also, various have diuretic intrinsic worth . You do NOT want to become dehydrated!
Also, stay away from cold foods & beverages! Injest just warm or hot solution, & stay away from meats/poultry. Eat smaller portions, too.
Keep warm adequate -- don't allow yourself to get chilled.
Avoid ALL nervous-system stimulants! Many drug combinations --OTC, too-- contain Caffeine, for instance).
Several member of my family spent almost a month of days per year 'laid up' due to menstrual spasm! No more, for those who use the above natural method of treatment. (;
Just like peas in a pod, we look forward to the time when ALL types of disabilities will become a thing of the recent past. I invite you to see why we hold out this hope .
Soon an End to Disabilities! :

~ How Disabilities Will End
try taking evening primrose capsules you can catch them at a health shop or a well-mannered chemist . they really help me !you inevitability to take one a afternoon .good luck hope this help.x
Well you can drink tea or get a thaw water bottle what i use is midol or pamprin and you can also procure a thermal heating pad and apply it by the underwear it really helps!
Please don't nick pills. It is not good for your vigour.
Hope this will help you.
1.Boil some hose and put it into a big bottle(the bottle of water) or a hot water pouch. Roll it on your stomach. It will relieve your misery for sometime.
2. This cure was told by my grandmother. Take some butter. Heat it. Put the solution form of butter into some hot milk and drink it.
1. Try to be relaxed about it. Your anticipation of distress actually make it worse.
2. Take evening primrose oil for a month or two.
3. Lemon balm and vervain tea relax the muscles. Dosage: 1 heap teaspoon each to a mug of boiling hose down, brew for 10 minutes, sweeten with honey, if you similar to. Take as often as you similar to for the duration
4. The hot water bottle is not a discouraging idea at adjectives.
5. Try the callanetics exercise for the stomach. If you don't want to do them, walk, or swim outside, or cycle at most minuscule 1/2 hour a day.
Good luck
The merely thing I know of is the Menopause, us women do suffer.
hot dampen bottle and a cup of hot milk and ginger - just put in a couple of tea spoons of ground ginger and one or two (depending on taste) to a cup of hot milk.
The ginger dilates blood vessels and ease the cramps.
my mums remedy and it worked for me
I had suffered vile period pains for years, they become worse after I had kids. I next started having regular reflexology treatments and it really facilitate, not only near the pain but also PMT. Its not for everyone, so if this is not for you the why not try another holistic psychiatric help aromatherapy, massage.
Hope this help
Resorting to drugs is never the answer. That is just a bandaid and not a solution. Most stomach-ache is caused by blood stagnation surrounded by the uterus. This can be removed through the use of herbs but which herb varies from human being to person. Your best bet is to see an herbalist or a licence Doctor of Oriental Medicine for a custom formula that will best suit your desires.
I recommend a Hysterectomy. Ask your doctor today!
warm tub,then carry a hot water bottle and rest surrounded by on yr tum
I used to put muscle pain cream adjectives over my stomach. It worked great for me, and I had terribly painful period. I had to hold a historectomy so I dont have them anymore. But try that, it may work for you as ably.

According to Shell's statement, Brazil's governmental oil regulator estimates the Libra find has between 8 billion and 12 billion barrels of "recoverable resources."
The consortium, of which Shell is a 20% stakeholder, also includes owner and operator Petrobas with a 40% stake, France-based Total with a 20% stake, and China's CNPC and CNOOC, each with a 10% stake, Shell said in its statement. Shell has a strong presence in Brazil, having generated an estimated 65,000 barrels of equivalent oil a day (boe/d) in 2012.
Reaching the reservoir in the Santos Basin, which Shell tentatively estimates could produce as much as 1.4 million barrels of oil daily, will require ultra-deep water drilling to depths of approximately 11,500 feet below the sea floor.
Regarding the opportunity that the Libra discovery represents, Voser added, "We look forward to applying Shell's global deep water experience and technology, to support the profitable development of this exciting opportunity."
Shell expects the production contract to be signed in November, 2013, and has agreed to complete its "minimum work program" no later than the end of 2017, according to its statement.
In calendar year 2012, Shell produced approximately 3.3 million barrels of oil equivalent daily, and generates 50% of its production from natural gas.

Maybe it should be called re-offshoring. You may have heard about an American executive held prisoner in his Chinese factory by aggrieved workers. His company is Specialty Medical Supplies, based in Florida but producing syringes and other medical products exclusively in China. His workers were aroused by his closing of the Chinese injection molding division and moving it to India. Want to guess why? Was it for lower labor costs, since wages have been rising dramatically in China? Could this be another sign that the bloom is off the Chinese rose? (See this article in The New York Times).

Projects on the Move
Projects on the Move
Drupal and WordPress often hog the spotlight, but other content management systems offer impressive performances. This month, we look at the latest Joomla release and check out concrete5.
Although I wouldn't call myself a web designer, over the years I've managed websites running on eZ Publish and Drupal, and I've created several sites running WordPress, which I think is the most user-friendly site to hand off for non-technical clients to maintain. Recently, I started using Joomla, which powers the advancedclustering.com website. At first, I found Joomla to be less userfriendly than WordPress, more inviting than eZ Publish, with a learning curve comparable to Drupal (although newer versions of eZ Publish are pretty Drupal-like). In short, Joomla is different from other content management systems, so it takes some getting used to; however, it is feature-rich, has an active community, and comes with excellent documentation.
"Each CMS has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, but for me Joomla's unique strength lies in the breadth of the community and the range of available extensions – over 8,000 – that give site builders unrivaled versatility with the type of websites that they can build," says Brian Teeman, co-founder of Joomla. Joomla 1.7 rolled out in July and was the first release on the new six-month release cycle [1]. In addition to security updates, the new release offers the option to specify the site name before or after the page title, a "remove installation folder" button as part of the installation process, and the ability to add a background image to the custom HTML module.
