The mover was super helpful and understanding when I first called. He offered me 4 movers instead of 2 (which was awesome because it would take way less time) All of the other moving companies I had contacted had only offered 2 movers. Once the move was all set the movers arrived, they were all wonderful young men all in college. All eager to go and heavy lifters. They were able to move my stuff no problem! They figured out (Tetris style) how to get all of my stuff into the storage unit. I was so ecstatic, they were such gentlemen, very hardworking and polite. It was a wonderful experience!

2 tourney structures in LA critique
Looking forward to my first live tourney, and I have someone willing to stake me. Since we are nearly related, I want him to understand what he is getting into.
Here in L.A. we have a lot of casinos to choose from. Possibly because it is closest to his house, he offered this from Hollywood Park Casino;
No-Limit Hold'Em
$4,000 Guarantee!
$8,000 Guarantee on Fridays
$20* Buy-in, $10 Entry Fee, $10* Rebuys
Monday-Friday Start Time: 11:30 AM
You start with tournament chips valued at $500. During the first hour, you may rebuy anytime you have $1,000 or less in tournament chips. You receive tournament chips valued at $500 for $10. You may buy a double rebuy when you have $500 or less in tournament chips. You receive $1,000 in tournament chips for $20. After break, you may buy a single or double add-on. You may buy a triple rebuy when you are all in. You receive tournament chips valued at $500 for $10 or tournament chips valued at $1,000 for $20.
Tournament Structure Antes Blinds Time 25-25 60 Minutes 10 Minute Break 25-50 20 Minutes 50-100 20 Minutes 100-200 20 Minutes 25 100-200 20 Minutes 50 200-400 20 Minutes 75 300-600 20 Minutes 100 500-1000 20 Minutes 200 1000-2000 20 Minutes 300 1500-3000 20 Minutes 500 2000-4000 20 Minutes 1000 3000-6000 20 Minutes 1000 5000-10,000 20 Minutes 2000 8000-16000 20 Minutes
Limits will be raised every 20 minutes until the tournament is concluded. *Service charge deducted from every tournament buy-in and rebuy and 100% will be distributed to tournament staff.
Redraw for seats at the final two tables. You must be 21 years of age or older to play. HOLLYWOOD PARK CASINO tournament rules prevail where applicable. Management reserves the right to cancel any event at its sole and absolute discretion. Management decisions are final. This is a DOJ-approved tournament GEGA-1620. "Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER"
I discussed the dangers of rebuys, but my experiences are completely online based. I can't believe there is all that much difference amongst quality live players and quality online players when it come to choosing a tourney structure.
I prefer the non rebuy at the Bicycle Club. He may not like this because it is very close to where his mother lives.
The Bicycle Club structure is thus;
Mon No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Tue No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Wed No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Thu No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None Fri No-Limit Holdem $30 $10 None
Simple, no sharks 'seeding' tables, and much more talent based.
I might need some help convincing him that the extra 13 miles will save him money.
Hollywood parks starts the tourney with $500, for 60 minutes the blinds are 25-25, then the add-on, then 20 minute levels till it ends. Antes kick in after the 2nd break.
At the Bike, $2000 to start, 25-25 with 20 minute levels. Ante start during the 6th level.
Please comment.
The rebuy is clearly the better structure w 60 min levels and (theoretically anyway) deep stacks resulting from the rebuy period. Of course, your backer should understand that the "buy in" will be much higher as you will want to allow for multiple rebuys.
Honestly almost all low buy in tournaments like the one you describle at the Bike are not worth playing (espeically if that $10 is the fee on the $30: that's a massive vig that even the best players probably can't fade). T2000 w 20 min levels is pretty much a joke as far as skill: it's whoever gets dealt the luckiest cards; add in the huge house rake and you are better off putting your money in play in blackjack or dice.
Also, lol @ "He may not like this because it is very close to where his mother lives."
Go get em DJ, you know best what you can do.
lol @ "Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER"
re: Poker & 2 tourney structures in LA critique
Based on this being my first live event, and that I'm getting staked, I suggested the Bike game. I want to deal with fewer things for a first live tourney, and the rebuy at HPC looks very expensive to me.
Using a 2-1 hands (online-live) ratio the 20 minutes doesn't seem all that fast, but those are the things I need to learn. I never did trust that 2-1 ratio anyway. My common sense suggests something closer to 4-1, in which case your right, it would be a super turbo.
At the HPC, only the first level is 60 minutes, and I'd guess that a lot of those 60 minutes are eaten up with all the activities involved in rebuying. After that it also has 20 min blind levels. Also elsewhere on that HPC page (not copied) those * (asterisks) are defined as ' we take money out for the staff. 100% goes to the persons operating the event. So not all of the chip fees go into the final pot.
I offered my staker UB money. I'd like to get him (retired) involved online. He is so closed mouth (good for a poker face) though that he could be pottripper and I wouldn't know it.
He's also a pretty damn good cook.

Yesterday in Tampa, the public watched on as CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircrafts, Chinook helicopters, Zodiac boats, and ground-mobility vehicles conducted military drills in preparation for the Republican National convention in August.
The urban training drills included an assault by land, sea and air which simulated a mock terrorist attack that included terrorists kidnapping Mayor Bob Buckhorn. The Special forces included international troops from around the world with countries like; Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Jordan, Norway, Poland, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates all playing a role in the drill.
The mock attack comes less than 100 days before 50,000 people are expected to occupy Tampa for the Republican National Convention.
Major Increase in Urban Warfare Drills
From the urban warfare drills in Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles to the gigantic show of force during Chicago's NATO summit, some are starting to wonder what these drills are really all about. While we get that our troops need to train, the overwhelming number of recent urban warfare drills on the streets of America really makes you wonder what's about to go down. Does the government have intel that suggests a future attack, or is this just to desensitize Americans to the site of military patrolling the streets of America?
In the past, this probably wouldn't have raised much concern. But when you read stories about the Obama administration installing a Death Czar, Congress giving the White House the power to detain American citizens without a trail, and the Attorney General of the United States suggesting that the White House has the power to kill American citizens; a few alarm bells start to go off.
14 Comments on US Military & International Troops Conduct Urban War Drills and Mock Terrorist Attack in Tampa
I apologize to everyone who commented on this story yesterday. Our database was somehow messed with last night and we lost everything from yesterday.
I was wondering what the heck happened. Tried to send it to a friend this morning and poof nothing there.
Well i will repeat what I said yesterday. Even if this is normal (which I highly doubt) why in the world would we let Columbia and the United Arab Emirates train with us?
Blackwater USA, Erik Prince and our corrupt government is why. They're building a secret army over there. It's the dirty little secret that they openly flaunt in your face.
Bull shit dude, iv'e worked for Blackwater "now XE" Erick prince will not send his retired special ops personnel, private security, and close protection agents after americans.
sure his employees everywhere world wide is gonna hop on a plane and, play genocide bathists when they been black listed by the public already during the Bush jr admin. XE company would rather make contracts in third world un developed countries, and there employees earn money else where.
you should be more worried about foreign troops, United nations presence, local law enforcement including our us military here attacking us state side. forcing communism on you i and everyone else whom isnt for the obama even these asses in congress
Aren't they called Academi now? I haven't seen them called Xe in a couple years.
i'd worry about the clintons, and other left-wing corrupted persons {DOJ holder, nancy pelosi etc] including members of the weather underground have pull still.
Hillary Rotten clinton has used our own US Delta force; to go after Randy Weaver, and alike such as branch davidians posed as ATf agents. Hillary clinton was protected by joseph bannon he isnt one to be fucked with, which in turn allot of former secret service, often contracted graduates of the ESI ltd program "owner bob duggan former communist guerilla from Latin America" his students are not only taught Ep or PSD tech there bread on butter is intelligence collection with hit and run tactics that make normal infantry, and some special ops units look like shit to this present day
i would seriously be worried about left-wingers whom are in bed with Marxists "korea, china, iran and russia"
drones, mercs and nato troops are all here and here to stay… get ready because the excuses used for this training are but smoke and mirrors for the eventual move against the American People as a whole… along with this comes the intimidation factor
90 to 130 Million firearms in this Country, and lots of very angry Veterans. The foreign clowns don't have a chance!
i know we have millions of patriots, but against trained military, drones 17,000 by '15- 30,000 by '20, they wouldn't stand a chance. also 2,700 light armored tanks. also anyone who is a leader like yourself, who speaks out, will be taken out right away. i'm to old but they will come for me too.
You can't kick a rock around here without some conspiracy theory. The Active Duty Military has absolutely no authority on US Soil. They can't do anything on non-government owned property that even remotely interferes / impacts the daily life of US Citizens. They can't as much as even direct traffic at a public intersection. Any Active Duty troops you see "on the street" are under strict control of a Dual Status Commander who is put into place to ensure the States rights are not infringed upon. Furthermore, these troops cannot operate at all off of government owned property without the expressed consent of the Governor of that State. Anything that requires a military effort on US Soil is primarily the responsibility of the National Guard whose sworn allegiance is to the Governor…. Not the President. If you can't trust your Governor…. We are all in pretty sad shape.
Like YOU said: "We are all in pretty sad shape."
i hear what you are saying, but the DHS has taken that away. this started sometime back in a small town in the south. i don't remember the name and an alarm went out then, but was laught at by the MSM. so, here we are and i think it has changed. tanks in ks,mo for a month. miami hit 3 times, boston, houston, galveston, austin, l.a., virgina,etc. at least 10 cities. never have i in 70 years heard of the mil. using amer. cities to drill.
If this is not proof of the world going to the NEW WORLD ORDER! People are being brainwashed by bought media. Since WHEN does every country suddenly move into the U.S. and take control in a MOCK setting. We are no longer the U.S. WE HAVE been taken over and we aren't being told. This is stunning. The dictator will not allow a Trump President. Get ready, they are.

Staff in the service department don't seem to know what is happening, considering I had to pay nearly double the hourly rate that my local mechanic charges I thought this would give me a premium service; how wrong was I, the staff both on the counter and in the workshop didn't have a clue, a problem that they couldn't solve after hours was solved by my mechanic in one hour!!!! I don't even think the girl at the service desk knew what a car was let alone the mechanics of it!!! If you are expecting quality and knowledge go to your local mechanic, definitely not this dealership.

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is a free-standing institution dedicated to the control of cancer through in-patient and out-patient care, clinical and research training programs, and a broad spectrum of research activities. MSKCC's research programs are grouped into three categories: Basic Research (Regulation of Cell Behavior, Developmental Biology, Genomic Integrity, and Molecular Structure);Bridge Disciplines (Cancer Biology and Experimental Pathology, Experimental Therapeutics, Immunology and Transplantation, and Imaging and Radiation Sciences), and Patient-Oriented Research (Clinical Research and Prevention, Control, and Population Research). The programs are designed to optimize the use of a large patient population and an extensive, multi-disciplinary staff of clinical and laboratory-based investigators and to encourage the application of discoveries in the basic sciences in a way that advances the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of many forms of cancer. Scientific work in the ten research programs depends on services provided by 34 core facilities, 19 of which will receive funding from the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG). During the next five years, MSKCC will continue to enlarge its clinical and research facilities and its research and training programs;therefore, an expanded budget is requested to establish the laboratories of new investigators in several fields of inquiry and to support the core facilities which have grown to support the needs of the research enterprise.

It essentially offered the same package as the X180R racecar. With an optional LotusSport package, the car incorporated a full rollcage, harness and fire extinguisher. All versions of the Sport 300 featured the 300 bhp, S910 power plant which was similarly tuned to X180R specification. As expected the interior and exterior featured a number of preferred changes. Almost every aspect of the car was upgraded to match the performance of the X180R. This included changes to the spoilers, brakes, suspension geometry, clutch, gearshift and brakes.A number of weight saving provisions were made. This helped lower the weight of the car by 250 lbs compared to the Esprit SE.A year after the 300 Sport was unveiled, the Series Four version of the Esprit was released. Not until 1995, would an Esprit would had the luxury of receiving 300+ horsepower.

Doctor insights on:
Miscarriage (Overview)
Miscarriage is a "lay" term for early pregnancy loss usually prior to the second trimester. Physician's use the term "spontaneous abortion" to describe these events, but the word "abortion" in lay use has come to connote only an elective interrupted pregnancy- right or wrong.
After miscarrying several times & getting two abortians what are yout chances of being unfertile young ?
Depends: Given a history of recurrent miscarriage, one's prognosis for a live birth depends on: - current age of woman - results of evaluation for recurrent pregnancy loss assuming woman is <40 years old and evaluation is normal, chance of live birth with next pregnancy is ~65-70%. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

I don't have insurance but I think I might be miscarrying. What should I do?
Miscarriage: There is no specific treatment for miscarriage. Some bleeding during early pregnancy is common. If it is persistent, it may result in miscarriage and there is nothing that doctors can do to prevent it. Thus, while i realize that you are probably very anxious, the best thing is to just wait and see what happens. If the bleeding persists, you will know it is a miscarriage with a blood test (hcg). ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Miscarried at 5 1/2 weeks. Do I have to wait three months before trying again or could i start again at anytime sense it was fairly early on?
Anytime: There's no data to show that waiting three months has an effect on next pregnancy. Eat healthy, get 7-8 hours of sleep a night, be at a healthy weight and exercise are the best ways to make sure you're in good shape to get pregnant again. I typically tell patients to wait at least one menstrual cycle, but again, there's no evidence that you need to wait. Fingers crossed for you! ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

Do miscarriages typically happen over a couple days or all at once? If it varies, do you have a percentage? Thanks
Varies: Typically, a woman will start spotting and cramping. This will be followed by passage of tissue along with blood clots after which pain and bleeding subside. This process can take place in an hour or two but may last up to 1-2 days. Sometimes, a woman will continue to bleed because she does not pass all of the pregnancy tissue in which she may need a d&c. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
I've had numerous miscarriages. Could there be something wrong?
Yes see a specialist: A woman who's had two or more miscarriages needs testing to look for a cause, by a rei specialist if trying to conceive or by an ob/gyn if pregnant now. Possible causes include autoimmune conditions like antiphospholipid antibodies, blood clotting disorders, low egg supply, problems in the uterus like fibroids or a uterine septum, hormonal problems, male or female genetic problems.

Catalogue Number: G7G-8V28
- Author: Tom Burns
- Format:Paperback
- Publisher:Oxford University Press
- Published:21 September 2006
Sorry, there are currently no sellers for this product.
Product description
- Total Pages: 160
- Genre: Psychiatry
- Secondary Genre: History of science, History of medicine
- Illustrations: 15 B&W
Psychiatry is now a highly visible activity - care in the community, compulsion, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse mean that few people are not touched by it. Indeed one in four of us will consult a psychiatrist in our life time. This book explains what psychiatry is, and what it is not. It starts with the identification of the major mental illnesses and why they are no longer considered just variations of 'normality'. It charts the rise of the Asylum and its demise with the developments of Care in the Community, and the flourishing of psychoanalysis and its later transformation into more accessible psychotherapies. More than any other branch of medicine psychiatry has been attacked and criticised. There is a long catalogue of abuses - from mundane neglect and bizarre treatments through to political abuse by totalitarian regimes. Modern psychiatry too brings with it new controversies such as the medicalization of normal life, the power of the drug companies and the use of psychiatry as an agent of social control. The book does not shy away from outlining these issues but provides the reader with a clear understanding of what psychiatry is capable of, and what it is not capable of, so that they can draw their own conclusions. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Author's Biography
Tom Burns is Professor of Social Psychiatry at the University of Oxford and a practicing consultant psychiatrist in the NHS. His research has centred on community care of severely ill psychotic patients and, in addition to over a hundred and fifty scientific articles, he has written books on Assertive Outreach and Community Mental Health Teams.

WEEKEND GARDEN BLOGGINGSubmitted by KAT on Sun, 08/26/2007 - 11:50am.
Farmer Kitty is inordinately pleased with the paltry haul from our less-than-triumphant victory garden this weekend, but then, it doesn't take much to float her boat—or fill her wheelbarrow.
We, on the other hand, are too demoralized by the theft of our entire crop of hazelnuts to get too excited about the jumbo heirloom zucchini and picture-perfect bell pepper. We know who the culprits are—our bushy-tailed adversaries were spotted in the act of pilfering our precious nuts, so there's no mystery here.
Except, of course, where the nuts are buried. The squirrels themselves don't even know, because they actually forget where they've buried their plunder within about ten minutes, as I learned from reading Bill Adler's Outwitting Squirrels. I also learned that after mating, the male squirrel secretes a waxy plug that prevents any future paternity battles when his little litter of fuzzy filchers is born.
I learned all kinds of fascinating things, but nothing to save our nuts. We'll just have to content ourselves with admiring the hazelnuts' catkins and the fiery fall foliage that awaits us. Next year, I'm going to cover the hazelnuts in netting, and keep those furry little creeps away from my crop.
COUNTY FAIR BLOGGINGSubmitted by KAT on Fri, 08/24/2007 - 10:05am.
We made our annual trek to the Dutchess County Fair this week, to "ooh" the blue ribbon pies and "aah" the prize ponies. New York State's second largest county fair calls itself the "showplace for agriculture in Dutchess County," and it's true, there's plenty of livestock and locally grown veggies on display in the exhibition halls. Every year there's the obligatory preposterously large pumpkin:
A head of cabbage bore a sign declaring itself "organically grown," the first time I can recall ever seeing any mention of organics at the county fair. We were also pleased to see a vending machine selling glass bottles of Hudson Valley Fresh chocolate milk instead of the usual cans of soda.
Another first was the Spacey Tracy's pickle stand. Spacey Tracy's pickles is a local enterprise, selling their hot 'n' spicy pickles, pickled peppers, mint jellies and other goodies at the Rhinebeck farmers' market every Sunday. In order to compete with the standard county fair fare, Spacey Tracy's dunked its pickles in batter and deep-fried them. A good idea? By the time we got to Spacey Tracy's, we were so saturated with saturated fats that the prospect of a deep fried pickle didn't even appeal to us.
Now, you can't go to a county fair without consuming your share of fried foods, and I will freely admit that I enjoyed my waffle fries immensely. But the bag of deep fried Oreos that Matt and our friend Amy bought went straight to the garbage, because after Amy bit into one, her lovely face contorted into such a grimace of displeasure that I had no trouble declining her offer to try one. I mean, they didn't even look good—pale, soggy and greasy, not golden and crispy.
The New York Times ran a story last week about how the Deep Fried Combo Plate at the Indiana State Fair—a Snickers bar, two Oreos and a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, all encased in batter—is no longer fried in trans-fats. The switch to less artery-clogging fats is admirable, of course, but does not, alas, make a deep fried cookie or candy bar healthy.
Which is why signs such as the one below are destined to become a staple at county fairs, too:
I didn't even know there were special socks made for diabetics. Apparently, the cuffs are extra loose so as not to impede circulation. Judging from the number of morbidly obese men, women and children we saw funneling funnel cakes down their throats at the fair, diabetic socks are a definite growth industry. Like most of the merchandise at the fair, with the exception of a few booths of handcrafts, they were manufactured in China. So much for local.
Another clothing item I'd never seen before were the sweaters worn by the newly shorn sheep, to keep them from shivering after giving up their wool to warm us. I bet their sweaters are made in China, too. Oh well. At least we can still make our own chocolate milk, pickles, and sand art.
An Open Letter to Robert E. MurraySubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 08/23/2007 - 1:20pm.
Dear mine-owner and CEO Murray,
I was touched when you promised that you would "not leave this mine until those men are rescued, dead or alive." So I was extremely worried, having read the headline "Murray's Absence Puzzles Families." A company spokesman said you were "ministering" to the families of the miners, but it turns out the families have not seen you either. The ingrates actually "feel that Bob Murray has abandoned [them]." What these families fail to understand is that your absence is selfless, not selfish. Six years ago, Mayor Rudy Giuliani went down to Ground Zero and was exposed to the "exact same things that [the rescue workers] were." He became "one of them." And today, you, Mr. Murray, with a Rudy-esque valor and empathy, have put yourself in the same position as the little people who work for you, and you too are missing.
Wherever you are, I hope you can hear me and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you must be doing something righteous. You yourself are the first to admit that you fight for "the little guy that nobody cares about." Like the little guys to whom you donate: George "Maccaca" Allen, Katherine Harris, Mitch McConnell and Christopher "Friend of Jack Abramoff" Pombo.
You stand up to special interest groups like Mine Safety. Your friend Senator McConnell happens to be married to Labor secretary Elaine Chao and when an inspector for the Mine Safety Health Administration, which Chao oversees, got out of line, and wouldn't shut up about safety violations, you tactfully reminded him, "Mitch McConnell calls me one of the five finest men in America, and last I checked, he was sleeping with your boss." Luckily, Department of Labor justice is as blind as Department of Justice justice and the uppity safety inspector was transferred and forced into early retirement.
When opportunistic politicians tried to politicize the Sago mine tragedy by passing laws which would protect workers' safety, you stated "I resent these politicians playing politics with my employees' safety because I take the safety of my miners to bed with me every night." When the most opportunistic of all, that senator from New York, Hillary Clinton, said America needs a President who is "pro-labor and will appoint people who actually care about workers' rights and workers' safety" you had the balls of coal to call her "anti-American."
When tragedy struck you experienced a state of denial only felt by those who are at one with the little miners. At a press conference following the collapse you insisted "there's no emergency here," and threatened to call off the conference unless helicopters flying overhead were removed. You are a believer and explained "the lord has already decided whether they're alive or dead and whether they were killed from the percussion from the earthquake. But it's up to Bob Murray and my management to get the access to them as quickly as we can."
The liberal, Jewish, gay, vegan media is claiming that retreat mining, the fictitious method in which miners pull down the last standing pillars of coal and let the roof fall in, caused the collapse. Retreat mining sounds pretty safe to me, and it's only killed thirteen people in the last seven years. Talk about conspiracy theories! You know that the unfortunate accident had nothing to do with alleged "dangerous mining conditions." And you swear that "this was caused by an earthquake, not something that Murray Energy or our management did. It was a natural disaster....And I'm going to prove it to you." Government seismologists argue there was no way this was an earthquake, but who are we going to believe? A bunch of nerds who have nothing better to do than get PhDs in seismology? Or you, a man who knows it's all up to G-d any way.
This isn't the first time you have used your organic grasp of science to take on pseudo-science. You called global warming a myth and "Albert" Gore "the shaman of global goofiness and gloom and doom" responsible for "the destruction of American lives and more death as a result of his hysterical global goofiness with no environmental benefit."
Because you are an outspoken defender of coal rights, because you speak truth to power, and truth to mishigas like global warming and non-earthquake induced collapses, you are persecuted by those who harp on harmless minutiae: the 2,787 violations, $2.4 million proposed fines, and accident rates two times higher than the national average at your mine in Illinois; your 64 violations and $12,973 in fines proposed at Crandall, or the injury rates that are eight times higher than average at Ohio Mine.
I can only surmise you are off chasing the real culprit, the earthquake, as you promised. Or perhaps you are talking to God to see whether he decided if the miners were "dead or alive." Or maybe you overslept. That is a distinct possibility since you do take your miners' safety with you to bed every night.
So let us call off this lost cause of a search for the little miners, and search for the one great man we must find and save: Robert Murray.
HOLY COW! WORSHIPPERS SAY "AMEN!" TO THE GRASS-FED GOSPELSubmitted by KAT on Wed, 08/22/2007 - 9:33am.
The question of whether religion has been more of a force for good or evil is, like hell, eternally hot. Blessed are those who blaspheme, for their books shall inherit the best-seller lists. Just ask Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens or Richard Dawkins, who all come down firmly on the side of reason, to the dismay of tooth fairy fans, Santa supporters and faith-based followers of other dubious deities.
I would love to believe there's a God, particularly a benign, compassionate God who wants only the best for all his children and our fellow creatures. But there are a whole bunch of different Gods running around out there, each with his or her own cult following, and some of them seem, quite frankly, to be rather hostile or downright hateful. Like the God pastor Fred Phelps' worships, who "hates fags." What the hell kind of a God is that? Then there's that Allah who apparently advocates blowing people to smithereens. I think I'll stick with the Reverend Billy and Buddha, thank you very much.
Some Christians are convinced the impending Rapture renders conservation entirely unnecessary. Conservation for whom? For us godless Left Behind lefties? As Ronald Reagan's enRaptured Secretary of the Interior, James Watt, told Congress, "I do not know how many future generations we can count on before the Lord returns." So it made perfect sense to Watt to propose that we open all 80 million acres of undeveloped land in the United States for drilling and mining by the year 2000.
But there are a growing number of evangelicals and other religious types who don't think it's our God-given right to plunder our God-given resources. And now, according to an article in today's New York Times, people of faith are beginning to rethink our food chain, too:
Christians, Jews and Muslims who see food through a moral lens are increasingly organized and focused on showing their strength. The Religious Working Group on the Farm Bill, a national coalition of more than a dozen religious organizations, is lobbying Congress for legislation to help small farms. The National Catholic Rural Life Conference is helping congregations and universities in the Midwest buy local produce from family farmers.
Environment-minded Jews are asking the leaders of Conservative Judaism to rewrite their kosher certification rules to incorporate ethical concerns about workers, animals and the land. Hazon, the Jewish environmental organization, has set up community-supported agriculture programs, or C.S.A.'s, in which customers purchase shares of a farm's harvest.
"This is the first time I have seen such a deep and growing involvement of the faith community," said Brother David Andrews, who is on sabbatical from his job as executive director of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference and has followed these kinds of issues for 30 years.
If this nascent cause was taken up by large numbers of churches and synagogues, the economic effect alone could be profound. "The religious movement is a huge force," said Arlin S. Wasserman, the founder of Changing Tastes, a consulting firm in St. Paul that advises food companies and philanthropic organizations on trends in food and agriculture. "Already, religious institutions oversee the production of $250 billion per year in food if you bundle together halal, kosher, and institutional buying.
Does this groundswell of spiritual support for sustainable agriculture and compassionate consumption represent a sea change?
"Food and the environment is the civil rights movement for people under the age of 40," said the Rev. John Wimberly, pastor of the Western Presbyterian Church in Washington.
Hallelujah! I'm about as fond of organized religion as I am of organized sports, but if these folks are going to cast their lot with us secular proselytizers on behalf of pasture-based agriculture, all I can say to Rev. Wimberley is this--from your lips to God's ear.
LET'S ASK MARION: WILL SUSHI HURT MY BRAIN?Submitted by KAT on Tue, 08/21/2007 - 11:48am.
(With a click of her mouse, EatingLiberally's kat corners Dr. Marion Nestle, NYU professor of nutrition and author of Food Politics and What to Eat:)
Kat: I'm not one of those Volvo-driving, latte-drinking liberals, but I do eat a lot of sushi. So I was sufficiently alarmed by a New York City Department of Health report last month that one fourth of New Yorkers have elevated levels of mercury thanks, in large part, to our fondness for fish.
We New Yorkers may be more full of it, but excess mercury is a problem all over the country. We know that even a small quantity of mercury can hurt cognitive development in children. And yet, a BP (British Petroleum) refinery in Indiana is still allowed to dump mercury directly into Lake Michigan, which is "a magnet for sport fishing and the source of drinking water for Chicago and scores of other communities," according to the Chicago Tribune.
So if we can't count on the EPA to, you know, actually protect the environment, we have got to be proactive and stay on top of what fish is OK to eat and what's not. You touch on this topic in your "Eating Made Simple" article in the September issue of Scientific American, in which you note that "two small servings per week of the less predatory classes of fish are unlikely to cause harm."
You're presumably talking about fish like anchovies and sardines, but they're not exactly a staple on sushi menus. Tuna, on the other hand, is. As are salmon and mackerel, which are so high in those omega-3 fatty acids that are known to benefit our brains. My own brain hurts when I try to figure this stuff out. So, seriously, how often do you eat sushi?
Dr. Nestle: I love sushi and eat it every chance I get although I try to be careful to eat it in places where I think the chefs know how to prepare it safely. I can well sympathize with your sushi-induced headache. Balancing the risks and benefits of seafood is no joke. It took me five chapters in What to Eat to deal with fish choices and it took an Institute of Medicine committee two years just to grapple with the methylmercury vs. omega-3 problem.
Personally, I'm much more worried about the risk of biological hazards—bacteria, viruses, worms, and the like—in sushi than I am about methylmercury, but I'm past the point of becoming pregnant. Pregnancy is the real concern. Methylmercury is not good for baby brains. It does not seem to have nearly as much effect--except at high levels--on adult brains.
The good news is that only five big predatory fish in the food supply that are commonly eaten accumulate high levels of methylmercury: (1) shark, (2) swordfish, (3) king mackerel, and (4) tilefish. The other common one has half the level of those four: (5) albacore (white) tuna. Everything else has much, much lower levels, as shown in this chart from the 2006 Institute of Medicine report.
The amounts in other fish are so low that the chart has to make the scale bigger so you can see the difference.
The methylmercury story is one place where I think government agencies make truly sensible recommendations. In 2004, the FDA and EPA came out with a joint advisory for people most likely to suffer bad effects from eating too much methylmercury: pregnant women, women likely to become pregnant (because methylmercury accumulates) and small children. These agencies say that if you are in this category, don't eat those five fish. Period.
If you are not in those categories, eating a serving or so of those fish once in a while seems OK. In any case, there isn't all that much fish in sushi. The fish portions are tiny so the amounts of methylmercury will be tiny. That leaves plenty of sushi to enjoy. Salmon, for example, is very low in methylmercury and so are shrimp, eel, and lots of other kinds I like. And, being an adult, I will occasionally indulge in a piece of tuna.
With that said, I'm fussy about the possibility of biological contaminants in sushi. Here too, the FDA has sensible things to say. The FDA tells pregnant women, young children, the elderly, people with compromised immune systems, and those with low stomach acidity not to eat raw seafood--ever. If you aren't in those categories, and want to reduce your risk of picking up some nasty parasite or bug, it helps to make sure the fish was solidly and deeply frozen before you eat it. Even then there's a risk, but a much smaller one. So I like to be sure I'm eating sushi in a place with a well trained chef who knows food safety rules.
But the whole subject makes me really angry. About 40% of the methlmercury in fish gets into their waters from coal-burning power plants (the rest comes mostly from volcanoes and natural sources). We know perfectly well how to clean up emissions from those plants before they dump toxins in land and water. This is the best example I can think of to illustrate why changing the environment is so much more important to health than individual choices. You don't like methylmercury in your fish? Write your congressional representatives and tell them to stop delaying controls on emissions. Now.
(For more on sushi safety, the Colorado Health Department has a neat page with many links to other sources of information on mercury, bacterial, and other kinds of problems with fish.)
USDA DOES BIG AG'S BIDDING BY POOH-POOHING ORGANICSSubmitted by KAT on Mon, 08/20/2007 - 8:58am.
The USDA's "certified organic" label is taking hits from every quarter these days, from purists who say it's too watered down to corporations who'd love to dilute it further to farmers who can't be bothered with all that bureaucracy. Consumers are confused, too, wondering whether organic food is really any better for you or just an excuse for food manufacturers to charge a premium.
One thing is indisputable, though--sales of organic foods have skyrocketed in recent years. So I was appalled to learn from Sunday's New York Times that the USDA's National Organic Program, which is responsible for enforcing the organics standards, has only nine staff members and an annual budget of just $1.5 million, despite the fact that consumers currently spend "more than $14 billion a year on organic foods, up from $3.6 billion in 1997," as the Times notes. By way of contrast, the article adds that in 2005, the USDA gave $37 million in subsidies to farmers who grow dried peas, a crop worth about $83 million annually.
It's utterly nutty to allocate peanuts for the National Organic Program. But the USDA has long been industrial agriculture's handmaiden, coddling corporations and treating organics like an unloved stepchild. Now, of course, Cinderella's pesticide-free heirloom pumpkin's turned into a first class coach, and Big Ag wants to tag along for the ride.
How the ugly duckling in a freegan frock became the belle of the ball is more scary tale than fairy tale, well-documented in Samuel Fromartz's Organic, Inc.: Natural Foods and How They Grew and Julie Guthman's Agrarian Dreams: The Paradox of Organic Farming in California.
Both books chart organic food's evolution from small scale, sustainable farms to big time industrial operations that violate the very notion of "organic." But even as Big Ag co-opts the organic label, the USDA still won't acknowledge that there are any benefits to buying organic. From the USDA's own website, under "Organic Food Standards and Labels: the Facts:"
Is organic food better for me and my family?
USDA makes no claims that organically produced food is safer or more nutritious than conventionally produced food. Organic food differs from conventionally produced food in the way it is grown, handled, and processed.
It's a fact that foods grown without pesticides and chemicals are, at the very least, safer for the environment. You can bet that they're better for our bodies, too, unless you care to argue that the presence of pesticide residues in your food is a plus.
And there have been numerous studies from credible sources showing that organic foods are nutritionally superior, such as this one from Great Britain's Soil Association, or the latest study from UC Davis showing that organic tomatoes have nearly twice the antioxidants of conventional ones. Researchers attribute this, in part, to the higher soil fertility of organic farms.
My favorite "agrivist," Sandor Katz, notes that chemically dependent, so-called "conventional" industrial agriculture only became the cultural norm after two World Wars left us with a surplus of chemicals, including the organophosphates once used in the Nazi gas chambers, which subsequently became popular pesticides.
"Chemical agriculture is an unmitigated disaster, and a relatively new phenomenon: prior to World War II, virtually all food was produced without chemicals, by what we now call "organic" methods," Katz writes in The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved.
Katz is quick to add, however, that he has his doubts about the organic label, as do I. "People wishing to resist corporate control and eat fresh, healthy food have to move beyond organics and into the foodshed, thinking about where our food actually comes from."
Of course, agribiz doesn't want you to know where your food comes from, which is why its lobbyists have kept Congress from enforcing the Country of Origin Labeling Laws that were signed into law in the last farm bill.
And even when our foods are labeled, we can't be sure standards are really being upheld; the Des Moines Register reported on Sunday that that USDA auditors are only just now "scheduled to make their first -- and long-awaited -- trip to China this month to check on organic food operations there."
Will these supposedly "surprise" visits yield any actual surprises? Will the USDA be shocked, shocked to find traces of toxins in the tofu?
Here's what I want to know: if conventional agriculture represents such a technological breakthrough, why do so many of us gladly pay more for food that's been grown the way our grandparents grew it, without "benefit" of chemicals? The USDA may not be willing to confirm our suspicions that pesticide-free produce is better for us, but Big Ag is happy to capitalize on our concerns and promote its brand of organic. I guess that's just natural. But is it truly organic?
WEEKEND GARDEN SLOGGINGSubmitted by KAT on Sun, 08/19/2007 - 12:16pm.
I'd like to say that I have been too busy harvesting the bounty of my backyard to take time out for blogging, but the sad truth is that despite having shoehorned fruits, herbs and vegetables into every square inch of our garden, there is practically nothing to eat, with the exception of one oversized heirloom zucchini and a couple of cherry tomatoes.
Everything's taking forever to ripen, and the yields are pitiful—an eggplant here, a bell pepper there; at this rate, we'll be able to make a ratatouille for two in two months.
The garden looks lush, thanks to that cover crop of Japanese buckwheat I stupidly sowed back in July to keep the weeds out. The bees are loving the buckwheat blossoms, but it will self-seed with a vengeance if I don't pull it out now. I just have to figure out how to remove it without accidentally pulling up the leeks and the lingonberries (note to self; cover crops do not mix well with existing plantings.)
And then there's all the "volunteer" amaranth—it crashes my garden gate every year since the Seeds of Change catalog seduced me with a selection touted as a "unique, stoutly branched plant that produces delicious leaves, favored as a steamed vegetable in Greece." Those droopy, seed-laden spikes nodding in the breeze have a certain charm until you realize that they're carpet bombing your entire yard, leaving seed sleeper cells poised to launch a massive amaranth invasion the following spring.
A reconnaissance tour through the garden yesterday morning sent me back into the house in abject defeat (and tears.) By noon, though, hunger won out over despair, so I went out and captured an armload of the renegade amaranth and its close cousin, lamb's quarters, which also pops up everywhere uninvited.
Armed with a recipe for a "basic potage" from the Matthews Community Farmers' Market website , which I discovered via Eating Liberally's Charlotte, North Carolina chapter (thanks, Laura!), I submerged my garden insurgents in a pot of boiling broth and then beat them into submission with a blending stick. The end result was a tasty and triumphant soup.
My take-no-prisoners potage--chock full of vitamins and minerals thanks to my antioxidant and omega-3 rich weeds--left me feeling feisty and ready to reclaim my turf, so after lunch I grabbed my Japanese farmers' knife and rooted out the rest of the amaranth and lamb's quarters. Wide swaths of formerly overgrown ground have been reclaimed and are ready to be planted with more docile, domesticated greens that can coexist peacefully. But what will we eat in the meantime? Not to worry, weed-dom is on the march. The amaranth and lamb's quarters will be sure to send in reinforcements, to remind us that our mission is not, in fact, accomplished—and never will be.
I'M NOT A PLASTIC BAG—BUT I'M WRAPPED IN ONESubmitted by KAT on Wed, 08/15/2007 - 9:31am.
Eco-entrepreneurs would have us believe we can buy our way out of this crisis we've caused with our excess consumption. My friend Tom calls it the "My third car is a Prius" phenomenon. Manufacturers of every conceivable consumer good have given their products a green patina to appeal to that affluent sub-species known by the advertising acronym LOHAS, as in Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability.
Your typical LOHAS is well-educated and well-heeled, and would be manna to Madison Avenue, if only the LOHAS mantra weren't "reduce, reuse, and recycle." But these devotees of doing with less are more likely to be disciples of the Church of Stop Shopping than Am-Ex-carrying members of the Put It On My Card club. We've got Reverend Billy's sermon to "step away from the merchandise" ringing in our ears; we can't hear the siren song of buy, buy, buy.
So vendors vying for those "lite" green greenbacks have latched on to another kind of LOHAS--the Lifestyles of the Hip and Shallow. Am I'm not the only one getting my 100% organic cotton made-in-the-USA panties in a twist over this. Trend spotter Lou Dobbs singled out this oxymoronic movement on CNN Tuesday night . Clutching the must-have eco-chic accessory of the moment, the "I Am Not a Plastic Bag" bag, he launched into one of his trademark tirades:
Right now, many fashionistas -- and there are lots of them around the world -- find it fashionable to be green. Now, for example, take this little number. It's a nifty cotton bag with a hemp-like handle, cleverly adorned with the words -- you can see them there -- "I'm not a plastic bag," apparently useful for blithering idiots who can't tell the difference between cotton and plastic.
And there are lots of those apparently around the world as well. They are brought to you by, as a matter of fact, eminent London designer Anya Hindmarch, a world-class greenie, by the way, who usually charges more than $1,000 for a little handbag.
In fairness, there's good news. These little handbags only cost $15. In London and New York, people stood in line for hours, making a barely discernible distinction between fashion and social statements, using the bags as handbags.
And in Taiwan riots actually broke out among those waiting for these bags. Dozens of people were sent to the hospital. A similar response in Hong Kong forcing police to close down a shopping mall.
And if you weren't able to bag your bag at a store, don't be concerned. They are now selling on eBay for hundreds of dollars each.
There are a couple of problems. This bag was, it turns out, delivered enshrouded in plastic. Oops. Sorry about the fashion statement or the social statement or whatever the statement was. And guess what? This little green treasure of style was made in -- you guessed it -- the world's number-one polluter and world-class labor abuser, communist China.
Golly, don't we all feel better about ourselves now?
When Whole Foods got a shipment of the I Am Not a Bag bags about a month ago, Matt passed the Union Square Whole Foods on his way to the Greenmarket and called me to report that there was a line snaking around the block, consisting mainly of Asian women. We were baffled until we read Marion Burros' account of the phenomenon in the New York Times and realized that some of the women waiting outside our Whole Foods had come all the way from Taiwan or Hong Kong to snag a bag, after failing to do so in the frenzy the bags unleashed back home.
We spotted a woman toting one of these would-be bags of honor in the East Village last week, and were amused to see that the bag was already falling apart, its piping frayed. Meanwhile, the chaos surrounding the sale of Anya Hindmarch's trophy tote has forced the designer to cancel the launches she had planned for Beijing, Shanghai and Jakarta, but as Dobbs noted, you can still buy the bags on eBay, if you're willing to pay a premium for a shoddy, made-in-China piece of crap. As Neil Young sang thirteen years ago:
Tried to save the trees
Bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap
Saw it on the tube
I tried to plug in it
Got it from a friend
I'm trying to save the trees
I went back to the store
Truly an anthem for our time. But trying to boycott those three little words "made in China" is a full time job, as Sara Bongiorni documents in A Year Without "Made in China": One Family's True Life Adventure in the Global Economy.
And now Wal-Mart, which has nearly succeeded in single-handedly destroying American manufacturing, is finding that people with low-paying jobs aren't such great customers. Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott notes in today's New York Times that the average Wal-Mart shopper, who typically earns less than $40,000 a household, is "under difficult pressure economically."
Needless to say, this morning I am having a big side of schadenfreude along with my grass-fed yogurt and homemade granola topped with local berries and cherries.
Bush & BushSubmitted by Anonymous on Tue, 08/14/2007 - 2:42pm.
Apparently, it's not easy being W's father. As Ron Kauffman, an advisor to 41, explained, hearing criticism of Bush Junior "wears on his heart and on his soul." According to the New York Times, Herbert Walker Bush compares himself to "a Little League father whose kid is having a rough game. And like the proud and angry Little League dad who cannot help but yell at the umpire, sometimes he just cannot help getting involved." It seems like Bush is more of "a little league father whose kid has no arms and no legs."
HOMEMADE GRANOLA: BRAGGING, THEN GAGGINGSubmitted by KAT on Mon, 08/13/2007 - 11:30am.
Mea Gulpa. I gave my brother and his family a batch of my fabulous slow-baked granola yesterday with a little something extra—pantry moth larvae.
OK, first of all, I am resigned to the fact that I will never live this down. I mean, how embarrassing is that? I bloggity blog blog blah all day long about eating healthy and food safety and whatnot, and then I go and give them a bag of buggy granola.
How could this happen? The ingredients I used were all fresh, and I baked the granola just the way Lorna Sass recommends in her award winning Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way cookbook. I brought a batch of this granola with me last weekend to snack on at the Yearly Kos convention, and when I shared it with my fellow kossack/food activist Jill Richardson (aka OrangeClouds115), she exclaimed "this is the best granola I've ever tasted!"
My latest batch was sitting on top of the stove cooling when my brother dropped in with his wife and kids. My niece started nibbling on it, and raved about how good the granola was, so I grabbed a bag out of a bin and scooped out a few cups for them to take along and nibble on.
This same bin had been home, recently, to a canister of oat bran that became infested with pantry moths and was subsequently discarded. I have always been perplexed at how these icky insects manage to infiltrate all kinds of containers, but now I know that they can also chew right through plastic bags.
So we are ordering Gardens Alive!'s signature product, the Cupboard Moth Trap™, and we're also going to stock up on airtight glass jars in which to store all our grains, nuts, dried fruits, etc. And I'm told we need to discard EVERYTHING we've been storing in these bins and start over. Worse still, I'm supposed to stop buying things from the bulk bins at the health food store, because they reportedly are nearly always infested.
The good news? I also learned that in other cultures, moth larvae are regarded as a tasty and nutritious food source. In fact, they're in many ways a better source of protein than meat. I learned a bit about the concept of insects as a "forgotten delicacy" from Sandor Katz's The Revolution Will Not be Microwaved, in which he quotes from a zine called the Feral Forager:
Most people in North America will quiver at the thought of eating bugs…but in spite of this blatant specieism, everyone (including the strictest vegan) who's ever eaten anything has unintentionally eaten millions of insects.
Insects are in fact a very nutritious food source. They are high in fat, protein, and many other vitamins, including B12. That is part of the reason why indigenous people around the world seek out these abundant food sources…for those of us modern feral folk who have gotten past the mental block of cultural conditioning, we have discovered that insects are not only nutritious but can also be very tasty.
People have been eating insects for centuries, in some parts of the world, including Asia, Africa, Latin America, and even Australia. But Europeans and Americans have stubbornly resisted the notion of grubs as grub, as Jerry Hopkins documents in Strange Foods, a book which devotes an entire chapter to the virtues of bug-eating.
Hopkins shares an excerpt from an 1885 treatise entitled "Why Not Eat Insects," published by an Englishman, Vincent M. Holt, in which Holt salivates over "a fat moth nicely baked. Try them, ye epicures! What possible argument can be advanced against eating a creature beautiful without and sweet within; a creature nourished on nectar, the fabled food of the gods?...
…They, too, voluntarily and suggestively sacrifice themselves upon the altar of our lamps, as we sit, with open windows, in the balmy summer nights. They fry and grill themselves before our eyes, saying, 'Does not the sweet scent of our cooked bodies tempt you? Fry us with butter, we are delicious. Boil us, grill us, stew us; we are good all ways!'"
Holt did not succeed in persuading his fellow Brits to make a meal of moths, but a century or so later, Dr. Gene DeFoliart, editor of food-insects.com, is carrying Holt's moth-loving torch. Food-insects.com explores the "future potential of insects as a global food resource," and provides information on the nutritional value of various insects, as well as recommended cookbooks.
DeFoliart predicted in 1992 that if insects "become more widely accepted as a respectable food item in the industrialized countries, the implications are obvious. They would form a whole new class of foods made to order for low-input small-business and small-farm production. International trade in edible insects would almost certainly increase."
Of course, as Hopkins notes, "The odd thing is that we're all eating insects already. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and similar regulatory agencies elsewhere all permit a surprising number of "insect parts" in a given weight of packaged food because it is impossible to remove all of the insects during processing, especially in plants."
I'm sure my niece will never forget the larvae-enhanced granola I gave her, but it pains me to have such a stain on my culinary track record. So, Grace, I apologize for grossing you out, but I hope it's some consolation to know that in some countries, people actually eat this stuff on purpose. And, it's good for you. Take it from your aunt, the moth maven.

I actually ended up using either Dr.Hauschka Under Eye Cream or Reviva CoQ10 Eye Serum over Dermaxime, because of how "dry" it was. The only good thing about it was that the concealer did not "slide".
I also have finished an entire bottle of YBF Correct. Zia's Intensive Eye Cream delivered much more noticeable results. It was difficult to apply concealer over Correct.
I have just ordered Epicuren Eye Cream. Looking forward to trying it out.

World Maternal Mortality Rate Is Improving; The US's Isn't
The U.N. reports the world maternal mortality rate has dropped 44 percent since 1990, but the U.S.'s rate has gone up.By Ryan Biek | November 12, 2015
It looks like the the United Nations' goal to reduce deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth is on the right track. A new U.N. study found maternal mortality has dropped 44 percent since 1990. (Video via United Nations)
There were over a half-million maternal deaths in 1990, compared to an estimated 300,000 this year.
The findings are part of the U.N.'s Millennium Development Goals. And while it's a step in the right direction, the 44 percent drop is still 31 points short of the goal set by the U.N. in 1990. (Video via United Nations)
