Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
HI, I am so excited to see the revolution in Huntington. I grew up in Anawalt WV, it is a small coal mining town in southern WV. I grew up with a horrible diet which I am struggling to change now at 37 years old, I weigh in right now at 280 pounds but am using Weight Watchers to change my eating habbits. I just wanted to say good luck, I hope you can make a difference in WV.

Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
Everyone has expressed my feeling. Not much more I can say except to add my "ME TOO!!"
Thank you Jamie! I'm behind this revolution 100%.

Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
I use school lunches as a punishment for my son. The school food here is terrible. I have on several occassions ate lunch with him and tried to keep down what they served but couldn't. What is sad, some of these kids, this is their only meal for the day. We have a lot of backpack meals going home with kids so they can eat in the evening or weekends. Its just so sad that the trash they serve is all they have to choose from.
Wish you could come to Oklahoma and show them how its done. Great job.

Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
It broke my heart watching your first episode of the new series last night. I watched Ministry of Food on the Food Network last year, and thought it was incredible that you would be willing to try this in America. I felt like that you may have gotten in over your head a little with all the negative press and bureaucratic issues on this one. I mean really, how are you going to the change the minds of brainwashed kids in just one week with having to compete with all the pre-made "food" they are serving.
I know you had this challenge in the UK as well, and it was clear that the kids will most often choose the more familiar product if given a choice (usually the premade frozen foods) and not the healthier food. As parents we try to do what is best for the kids, but rarely take time to look at what is really in these products. Sure the 1st ingredient on the list is chicken, in the chicken nuggets at the school, and I'm sure they could have the choice of some products that may not. So, I'm sure they feel they are making the best choice of the ones given.
We don't have such lunch programs in cities and towns around where I live in Canada. Though we still have food issues. Many people have lost the art of cooking, and have given in to the temptation of convenience. Of course convenience comes at a cost. They now have prewashed, peeled and cut potatoes that you take out of the freezer and steam in the microwave to cook mashed potatoes. Granted it's a better option than some others out there, but seriously have we really lost the ability to peel and cook a potato! With most of us experiencing a major financial crunch the last few years, you'd think we'd realize that making our own food is more costs less, though it is more labour intensive.
It's brilliant to start with the children, as they eat what we feed them. Our food dollars are often spent trying to appease them. No longer are sweets, chips and fast food just a "treat" it is the norm. The horrid part of all this is we are paying to do this damage to our health, our bodies and our children!
For as many children who go hungry in North America, it sickened me to watch these kids take portions of food and barely taste them. What a waste. Why are they forced to take food they aren't going to eat. I realize this program is supposed to help them want to eat the nutritious food. Why not smaller portion options for some kids. Seriously there were milk bottles almost 3/4 full being thrown away; as well asfruit with barely a bite taken from it, and almost full servings of beans, potatoes, salad and whatnot. Can we cut fruit up? Smaller drink portions?
I realize the school board is trying to serve up what the Food Guide recommends, but maybe it needs to be distributed differently. Couldn't some items be handed out as a snack during recess or at the end of the day. I know my kids can't always manage to finish a big breakfast and lunch everyday. I try to get in those missing servings of fruit, veggies, milk products, etc. as snacks instead of chocolate bars and cookies!
I was also appalled that the head man insisted that there be 2 bread servings with lunch. Unless I'm wrong, and the Canadian and America Food guides are that different, isn't the category grains (or breads) and cereals not just breads? I think someone in the school board who creates the food requirements needs to read what is included in that food group, I'm pretty sure whole grain foods (including rice) would be included.
It truly broke my heart to see you so hurt by the rejection of the process. You continue to sacrifice so much to make people aware of these issues. Your ideas do create change. I hope this series breaks through the hardened hearts of all North Americans to want to do better for our children, and not leave them continually struggling with a legacy of worsening health problems, but an ability to make healthy choices for themselves!
Wishing you much success! I wish I could sign the pledge, but I do not live in the US. I hope it truly is a food revolution, we all could use a change for the better.

Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
OK, I watched the Food Revolution last night & I have a 17 month old. He doesn't eat pizza or chicken fingers all that much, but when they were showing all the bad food, he kept going up to the tv saying "nummy nummy". He does the same thing when he sees ice cream & he's only had ice cream twice in his life. There is a flash card app on my phone that has ice cream & he tries to lick the phone. It's just weird, how does a 17 month old know that ice cream & nuggets are nummy by looking at them. He doesn't do the same thing when he sees veggies. If he eats veggies or chicken he will say it while eating sometimes, but from just seeing junk food. What's wrong with this picture?

Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
We all have to do our share to make the food revolution a global movement. Being aware of what we eat and what our families and friends eat every day is a big step. It's a difficult process--changing the cafeteria system and the fast food culture. But every successful campaign begins with people spreading the word and acting collectively.
Also, it's not just being aware of how bad or unhealthy the food some of us are eating, but ultimately knowing that there are places where hunger is real.

Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
I am a currently a teacher and I see this kind of travesty on a day to day basis. As a tax payer we try and put our money to good use, but the red-tape has seemed to jumble things all up.
The first episode was ROUGH! Any revolution is, but you said it correctly when you said that following your heart is the right thing to do and you know it.
Not only do I support you, I'd drop everything to work for you. That's what my heart tells me to do. You or your organization calls, I'm there.

Re: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
I watched the show last night, out of curiosity. I wanted to see how bad things were.
I don't have kids at school, but I was kinda shocked as to the junk they were serving up and that it was approved at the schools. I'm like Jamie, I never heard of pizza being served for breakfast, either. I felt so bad for him, when he was met with negativity and the kids were not eating or wasting the good food items.
So far, the only rays of light are the pastor and that one family he helped out. I hope that family is still eating freshly cooked, healthy meals and that they did not get another deep-fryer!
I'll continue watching the show to see how Jamie progresses. I am totally rooting for him, that he can turn things around! YOU GO, BRO'!!!!

First off, I live in a smaller town right outside of Huntington (That's pronounced Hun-ing-ten, not Hunt-ting-ten. You only pronounce the last 't'). I obviously know about the movement.
Let me get this straight for you. Not all of us have health problems here because we're (to be put blunt) fat. It's called family history. True that weight issues won't exactly help that fact, but weight isn't the only factor.
Yes, the school food is disgusting. I know. Considering it's what I have to look at and (unfortunately) eat five days a week. Honestly though, most the students at lunch will pick off the icky, greasy parts. As for veggies? I love them, and I love fresh fruit. I can never get enough of them and no possessed or sugar filled thing can compare to them. Seriously, it's a freaking brawl for the strawberries and grapes. So it's safe to say the teens like them. However, you're only seeing the elementary school. What children go for veggies at that age? Not many, I can tell you that much.
I think Jamie Oliver has his heart in the right place, but his attitude, what you all didn't see when the cameras were rolling, that's what has angered us the most. He has called some people offensive names. So I think we have right to hold a little resistance to him as a person.
Also, thank you Jamie for causing people from other countries to come into our schools and take pictures of how fat we 'all' are. I want to especially thank you for the man from the Netherlands who took a picture of one of my best friends who isn't by any standards overweight. She cried for days because she was 'fat' due to the attention you brought to the area. The same supposed 'fat' girl who will possibly end up on Disney channel if her meetings and workshops go well.
We are not idiots, we are not all overweight, and we do not deserve to have anyone who feels like it slander us into obliteration because it makes them feel better about their own pathetic lives.
By the way, I've seen both those documentaries. Super Size Me is my favorite one of all time. Morgan Spurlock is an absolute genius, and I love his work.

This recipe is from a talented Canadian lady and if I didn't have such poor impulse control, I should ask her before stealing her recipe. My plan is to scale it up to a 6 1/2 gallon batch. This is her fourth run and it should be there, but for those timid, take the wimp clause and follow it exactly for a gallon. This will take a couple years to really shine and old men with heart failure shouldn't have to wait twice.
If you don't have a hydrometer, they are six bucks and make life so much easier.
1 kg of fresh clover honey
1 540 ml can of maple syrup
juice and zest from 3 lemons (yeah, I know, but it seems to need it, the times I've gone without lemon, it seems flat in taste, and it stops around 1.025-30 despite the pH being 3.6 with the last batch)
water to almost 1 gal (target SG 1.125)
EC-1118 yeast
1 tsp yeast nutrient (DAP)
1/2 tsp yeast energizer
Friday Nov 4 - Honey and syrup were mixed with lemon juice and zest in bottom of carboy, one honey jar of hot water and two or three of cold water added.
Yeast was rehydrated in 106F water and then fed with bits of must to make an acclimated starter over the course of about 2 hours, poured in the starter and went to bed. pH was 4.4.
Sunday Nov 6 - went in to aerate with beverage frother, gave it a few minutes then poured in about 1/3 of the nutrients and energizer (I mix it in one container so I can add at aerations), and it foamed. And foamed, and foamed and foamed. Fortunately it was literally a foot and a half from the sink so as soon as it started, I sat it in the laundry tub and all was well, I hit the foam with the frother and got it to settle down pretty quickly so no big deal Must remember to go down deeper with the frother before I add nutrients next time.
I told you you need a hydrometer. The must is fed and areated over the first three days of fermentation. The experts which I am not, areate and give last feeding when 1/3 of the fermentable sugars are used up. I just feed and areate the first three days then put an air lock on it until it about quits working. Rack it off the lees (or not with this particular yeast) and forget it in a dark corner for a year except to make sure the air lock doesn't dry out.

Jackett set for Sky Blues test
Wolves return to action tomorrow with a challenge from Head Coach Kenny Jackett to keep themselves up with the pace at the top of Sky Bet League One.
Having had last Saturday's game with Carlisle postponed due to international call-ups, third placed Wolves saw top two Leyton Orient and Peterborough continue their own excellent start to the season with another three points apiece.
But having made an excellent start to the season with 25 points from the first 10 games, Jackett is pleased with how Wolves have kicked off.
"After 10 games we couldn't have got promoted but we could have been out of it so I'm pleased to say we're in there competing, which is good," he says.
"There are some good signs for us going forwards and some things we need to improve on and it's very important that we identify those correctly internally and make the right decisions and work very hard to continue to improve.
"When you're looking at the division and you see clubs the size of Sheffield United and Bristol City in the bottom two of the division, the points difference already from the top two suggests it's looking towards another season (before they can get promoted).
"I'm pleased that after 10 games, we're within touching distance and every option is available to us.
"With losing a fixture last weekend, it's vital we keep up with teams such as Leyton Orient and Peterborough and make sure that gap doesn't stretch.
"We can't afford any slip-ups – when you see us now playing Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday, that nine points in eight days is a big one for us and we're looking forward to it.
"I think in terms of the league, we've got a number of things right.
"We're looking to continue to improve and a good run at home – we have three of our next four games here - can see us keep pace with the top teams in League One."
Wolves have got a clean bill of health from the players who have returned from international duty, while Samuel Ricketts and Matt Doherty are also expected to be fit after knee and groin injuries respectively.
"They're both looking fine," said Jackett.
"We're expecting them to have no further problems and hopefully they will be available for selection.
"Both trained yesterday.
"There has been a concern, particularly with Ricketts, but yesterday was the crunch day and they both seem o-k.
"They're both very good players and consistent ones too right from the start to the season.
"So we've got no problems with anyone.
"Doyle played both games and I was pleased for him to get back in.
"He was left out for a number of games and to get two caps - hopefully he can retain his place."
Jackett meanwhile has said he will need all the squad ready, willing and able heading into a busy spell of fixtures.
He said: "We play Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday then miss a week then play Saturday and Tuesday.
"So if you look at the five games coming up which takes us to the Carlisle game on Tuesday, November 5, and then it's the FA Cup, so we ring those five games, get the squad together, and the team will undoubtedly change.
"There will be substitutions and we'll perhaps change formation within that as well.
"But out of these five games we want a very good points total and the team I start with won't be the side I finish with against Carlisle.
"The important thing is that as a group of 18 or 20 players, they focus on getting as many points as possible."
Wolves will travel to Austria for their 2017/18 pre-season trainin....

In the Major League draft of 1971, the first player chosen from the state of Oklahoma was Ron Williamson. When he signed with the Oakland A's, he said goodbye to his hometown of Ada and left to pursue his dreams of big league glory.
Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits: drinking, drugs, and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa.
In 1982, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress in Ada named Debra Sue Carter was raped and murdered, and for five years the police could not solve the crime. For reasons that were never clear, they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder.
With no physical evidence, the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to death row.
If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.

"Good Book - Not Typical Grisham"
I've read a few Grisham novels, but I'm not a diehard fan. This book is definitely a departure from his fiction. If you are expecting a "legal thriller" with unknown adversaries, legal twists and surprise endings, then this book isn't for you. Just stay away. If you want to read about a true miscarriage of justice, how it affected the individuals, and how it was finally resolved (too late in many respects), then you will enjoy this.
It's a dramatic case study of what can go wrong in our judicial system. Through each step of the process, it's obvious (in hindsight) where the police and Oklahoma legal processes go bad. Williamson continues to deteriorate over the years spent in a non-forgiving environment. There's no nice, happy ending wrap-up. This is real life, and the results are mixed at best. You won't enjoy it, and it should make even the most ardent death penalty supporters question the system.
"Wake up people..."
I am stunned by the reviews that find this book uninteresting and/or poorly written. It was difficult to read because it is the story of our wonderful American justice system at its absolute worst. It is also the story of a couple of dozen Americans who allow their prejudices to prosecute and convict two men for murder with absolutely zero evidence. A man in Columbus was recently jailed for eighteen months and tried for the murder of his twin brother with the same 'evidence', none whatsoever. This can happen to anyone. If you aren't interested in this problem then you need to pray that you are never mistaken for a suspect and end up on death row.
"Excellent non-fiction"
I actually listened to half the book before I realized that it was non-fiction...While this might not be the thrill ride, surprise ending novel, I was thoroughly caught up in the book...To know that the injustice and travesty that can occur due to the malfeasance of lawyers, courtroom officials, and police is astounding...I thought this book was great and definitely would recommend...
"And non-fiction..."
This is by far, the most frightening book I've ever read.
"Wonderful Commentary on our"
Yes, this is not a typical Grisham book, but it's about time someone addressed the abuses of our judicial system. This was a travesty of justice, and it's not isolated. Mr. Grisham sent us a wake-up call about the fact that we all must hold our judicial system accountable when it is responsible for ruining lives. District Attorneys should be heavily prosecuted for maneuvering innocent people into plea-bargaining in order to save the "win" in court. It's disgraceful how this system is abused so often! Our system of justice is the best in the world, no doubt; but when there are people manipulating it to their own advantage, it turns ugly. That was the case with this young man, and unfortunately, with many others as well.
This was not your typical Grisham novel. I listened to the entire thing before I realized that it was non-fiction. I suppose that should be a compliment. It was just too detailed for me. I may have ignored that had I realized that it was all true. I just kept thinking that no police force could be that stupid but I guess I was wrong. You can only imagine how shocked I was to find out that it all really happened. I guess that is why I give this 4 stars. I would give it 5, but I did not like the narrator. It could have been so much better with someone who has a more appealing voice.
"Don't Miss This One"
This is a fascinating story that deserves to be read by anyone interested in our justice system - as we all should be.
"Sorry John..."
Count me in as one of the millions of worldwide fans of John Grisham. Like my fellow readers, I wait with great anticipation for his next book. I love his conversational writing. I can picture every scene as he describes them. He may be the best legal thriller writer of our day.
When I heard of "The Innocent Man", I was delighted. When I downloaded and listened, I was very, very disappointed. The book turns out to be a rehash of a previous book by another author and the subject of a PBS "Frontline' piece in 2002 about a wrongly convicted man..
The book is a narration of transcripts and court testimony from the trial. There is little to no dialog. There is no character development or interaction. There is no plot.
John's author notes at the end of the audio address some of these issues. The problem is that we should have been able to have read these notes before purchase.
"Frontline" told the story in one hour while Grisham chose to stretch it out over several hours. It is simply boring testimony.
But, fear not, I will still wait in anticipation for John's next book. I just hope he stays away from real crime and court testimony and goes back to his "paint a portrait" fiction.
"Good As Any But Not My Favorite"
Grisham relates the horrors of our legal system once again, but this time it is not from his imagination. His usual talent in telling a tale is present in this book but it does drag on. In addition to the tale of his two prime victims, other stories of wrongfully convicted men are told. I could see the revelance, but it tended to distract and confuse. The time lines also bounced around which further confused the story.
The narration was superb. There were great characterizations and dfferentiation of voices. I will look to listen to more by Mr. Wasson.
get the abridged version. There are soooo many names and it is not very exciting. I found it hard to keep track of everyone and all the many details.

I've decided that the price I'm paying for my Cavalier is too much, and have decided upon trading it. Since I go to college on a mountaintop that gets a crap ton of snow, I and since I love Swedish cars, I've decided I should look into buying a Volvo. I love the new S40s and have looked at those but realized I could both go retro and save a lot of money by going for an older 850 or S70. But... those cars also have some of the typical Swedish gremlins. So... does anyone know anything in particular I should look for, avoid, or anything for buying one of these?
Wait, so your paying to much for service for your Cavalier or what??
How can you pay to much for a Cavalier?
My aunt had an 850 before buying her XC90; if I recall correctly it was a very good car, I think she may have had a few things go wrong, but nothing major...
I have a '98 S70 GLT. As of this writing it is now 15 years old and 220,000 miles. Other than normal wear and tear the car, in the 10 years and 175,000 that I have owned it has only had one problem, the coil burnt out. Other than that, it still runs like a chanp, still chirps the tires as it slams into 2nd gear, and everything works, save the CD player and antenna. One note on Volvo's with the inline 5 of this era... they ALL burn oil. Unless you find a cream-puff with 50k, it's burning oil. Mine takes a quart every 1000. Would buy another in a moment.
My uncle just replaced his 200,000 mile (bought new in 91) 850. It was reliable except for a few years ago when it needed about $3500 in work.
My friend has a 93 v70 with 300K he wants to take it up to 1000000 so he can get the free volvo they give.

We used to dread winter in Hamilton Township, N.J. The first snowfall would bring phone calls telling us roads had not been cleared, schools had to delay or cancel classes, and that there had been accidents and traffic jams. The town had been managing snow removal with paper maps, highlighter pens, and Cheez-It crackers.
It was clever but had long outlived its usefulness.
I joined the township as public works director as the winter of 2004–2005 hit. It took only one snowfall to show us our patched-together snow and ice control system needed an overhaul. We knew we had to get our activities organized in a computerized system that would give us the control we needed. We wanted to do two things: First, track which roads had been salted and plowed so we could quickly assign drivers to their next route. Second, reassign drivers to the same routes storm after storm so they could become familiar with the roads.
National Geomatica—a Web-based system developer in Allenhurst, N.J.—had come recommended by Mine Hill, Hightstown, and Mendham Townships, all of which had used their systems to organize such municipal functions as construction permitting, apartment leasing, and asset management.
After evaluating our current system's failings, and the features we needed, the company developed a customized system based on a geographic information system (GIS) that presents and stores data on a computer-generated map. We needed to see salting and plowing movements and snow removal routes onscreen in a timely fashion.
Our new system shows the information on a color-coded display. A control center technician answers radio calls from drivers and enters route updates in the database. Based on the data, the colors of the routes change automatically—for example, when a road has been plowed twice, it changes from yellow to blue. We received minimal training, as this system is easy to use. With it, we can clearly distinguish how many times a road has been salted or plowed. We also can track truck locations and avoid accidental repeat plowing and salting.
Drivers were never assigned regular routes using the old system because we had no record of past removal assignments. Now, with stored storm information, we can keep track of assignments and give drivers the same routes each time. Repeating routes, drivers become familiar with obstacles that can damage plows and equipment, like high manholes and curb ends. It also cuts salt spreading time on primary roads by as much as 50%, reducing costs and letting us plow the roads sooner.
This coming winter, we are actually looking forward to our battle against the snowstorms. — Richard Balgowan is director of public works for Hamilton Township, N.J.

For Colo. farms, floods could bring recharged soil
JOHNSTOWN, Colo. - The powerful flooding that hit Colorado caused widespread damage to the state's agricultural lands, but it also brought the promise of relief for a drought-stricken state.
Aerial footage shows big sections of inundated farmland, although it's too soon to put a dollar amount on damages.
Ron Carleton, the state's deputy agriculture commissioner, says areas of concern include damaged produce crops and irrigation ditches.
But benefits are likely to include recharged soils in drought-stricken areas. That will benefit next season's plantings. The floods also may have refilled reservoirs that can help farmers next year.
The agriculture industry is Colorado's third-largest, generating $8.5 billion last year.
