Environment Minister stressed the need for creating a social involvement to solve the issue
The discourse should not be about saving the Ganga but serving it, Environment Minister Anil Madhav Dave stressed the need for creating a social involvement by a mass to solve the issue. Dave said the government is holding consultations and working in the right direction.
Noting that Ganga has become very dirty and everybody is responsible for this, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi monitors it at frequent intervals too. We have to adapt a zero tolerance policy towards the waste being discharged into Ganga river from tanneries.
Union Environment Minister said that he asserted that some issues are needed to be dealt strictly. Noting that the discourse should not be about saving the Ganga but serving it. He said the government is working in the right direction and pulling all the threads to serve Ganga.
"If we bring a wrong medicine in the house, we do not consume it by saying since we brought it and we have to consume it. In some matters related to Ganga, there is a need to be strict. There are some issues related to Ganga which are so concerning, tanneries being one of them," said Dave.
"We have to maintain zero tolerance. Government is thinking about all these issues and working in the right direction," Dave said when asked about government's policy on existing tanneries. Noting that Ganga has become very dirty and everybody is responsible for this.
Dave said there was a need to involve the society in the issue. "Ganga has been there for lakhs of years and will continue to do so. We should make sure that it remains as clean as it was in the initial eras. There should be social involvement," he added.

Back in Karachi for his father's funeral, Daanish, a young Pakistani changed by his years at an American university, is entranced by Dia, a fiercely independent heiress to a silk factory in the countryside. Their illicit affair will forever rupture two households and three families, destroying a stable present built on the repression of a bloody past.
In this sweeping novel of modern Pakistan, Uzma Aslam Khan takes us from the stifling demands of tradition and family to the daily oppression of routine political violence, from the gorgeous sensual vistas of the silk farms to the teeming streets of Karachistinking, crumbling, and corrupt.
Khan limns the conflicts between modern Western and traditional Pakistani mores in an intelligent, ambitious novel (her first to be published in the U.S.) about two star-crossed young lovers in contemporary Karachi. Daanish, a journalism student in "Amreeka," as his aunt calls it, returns home to Karachi for the funeral of his beloved father, a prominent, forward-thinking doctor. He catches the eye of a comely Karachi student, Nini, with whom his traditional mother would like him to make an advantageous marriage. But when Daanish meets Nini's best friend, the thoughtful and challenging Dia Monsour, who helps run her family's silk farm, romance blossoms quickly. Their families' disapproval casts a pall over their meetings, though, and Daanish begins to feel uncertain about seeing Dia as the date for his return to America draws closer. Khan's portrayal of life in Karachi, seen from multiple perspectives, is rich and complex, and her supporting characters, such as Salaamat, a young fisherboy who becomes a driver for a group of freedom fighters whose attacks have a deadly impact on Dia's family, add great depth. Khan's frequent flashbacks can be jarring, and the affair between Dia and Daanish is stretched perilously thin as the primary story line, but Khan's prose, ornate yet precise in its discussions of both love and politics, mark her as a truly gifted observer of moments grand and minute.

He kept staring at the cup of tea lying on the table, untouched. The tea was ordered about an hour or was it two? He then looked at the half-empty tea-cup opposite his, with the maroon lipstick stain. She had left those stains when she lifted the cup to hide her quivering lips. He shifted his gaze to the empty chair opposite him. Mira had left sometime back, and even she had not had her tea. Mira had left. She had gone, never to return. They say, if you love, don't hold, set it free, it will come back to you, if it was yours, and if it doesn't, it never was yours. But Mira was his, they both knew it, but she won't return is also true.
He was still staring at the cup of tea. It was his college canteen, when she brushed at the table, spilling tea. He jumped up saying – Wha-the….. and his voice trailed on seeing her. She missed out on saying Sorry and kept staring. In that single moment, nothing was said….. or was lots being said? She moved on and he didn't have tea for the rest of the day.
Next day, he was waiting for her at the canteen, and she came with her friends. They both looked at each other, and she went her way. He skipped his tea again. Next day he came to the canteen again, only to find everything closed. The watchman said – 'aaj Sunday hai, bhaiya……..' and under his breath he mumbled – 'week-days me padhte nahin, Sunday ko aajaate hain padhne'. He left with a heavy heart and wondered how he would survive the whole day. He had a cup of tea, and he realised that it was after three full days that he was sipping tea. During the Art of Living course, when he was asked to abstain from tea, he had just not bothered and excused himself without even a pang of guilt!
He was in college next day early, to find she was already in the canteen. He went and took another seat. She walked up to him and introduced herself as Mira. I am Robin – he said. Moments passed before anybody spoke. Months passed before either of them realised that they could not do without meeting each other every day. Was this love?
Mira belonged to a rich family of businessmen. Though Mira was not great on looks, her marriage was destined to be a part of a corporate arrangement. Robin belonged to a middle-class family. His marriage would be a tough alliance to make, as he did not have great credentials to sell – he was handicapped in every department, looks, money, background and education. So what were either doing with each other?
Neither knew nor cared. Robin felt complete in her presence and Mira felt as if he is the world and both needed nobody else. Needless to say, that both did not quite have friends worth the name. Mira loved to hear him say everything that he did and Robin had lots to say. Robin had a view on everything and his opinion was the only truth for Mira.
Time flew, Robin's, thin moustache had matured to a thick one. Mira had begun to look better and during the Graduation Ceremony both looked lovely. During the little time that they shared before Mira had to go, Robin gave him a piece of paper for her to read. It was a poem written by him, to be read later.
Mira's father had hosted a big party to celebrate her graduation and she had to go to the parlour before heading for home. She was instructed to smile at all and be coy enough to be appreciated. Mira endured it all, with all the right moves and manners. She was longing to be alone to read the note.

Bhagavad Gita
Bhaja Govindam
Doctrine And Way Of Living
WHEN the Pandavas saw Duryodhana proceeding in the direction of Arjuna,
they attacked the Kaurava army in force so as to hold Drona and prevent him from going to
Jayadratha's rescue.
So, Dhrishtadyumna led his forces repeatedly against Drona. As a result
of all this, the Kaurava army had to fight on three fronts, and was greatly weakened.
Driving his chariot right against Drona's, Dhrishtadyumna attacked him
violently. Drona's chest nut horses and the Pan- chala'sdove-coloured ones wereentangled
with one another and presented a pictures- que sight like the clouds at sunset.
Dhrishtadyumna threw away his bow and, sword and shield in hand, he
sprang upon Drona's chariot. Now standing on the shafts of the vehicle, now on the horses
and now on the yoke, he attacked Drona bewilderingly, all the while seeming to scorch him
with baleful and bloodshot eyes.
Long did this fight go on. Drona pulled his bow in great wrath and sent
a shaft, which would have drunk the Panchala's life but for the unexpected intervention of
Satyaki who sent an arrow and diverted the acharya's shaft.

PICKENS COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – Twenty wildfires are burning thousands of acres across Western North Carolina.
The North Carolina governor has declared a State of Emergency for counties in the western part of the state, and people are having to evacuate their homes.
Officials say the dry weather and lack of rain over the past few weeks are causing these fires to grow rapidly.
Ruthie and Neal Carlson are vacationing on a resort at Pinnacle Mountain in Pickens County where a wildfire started burning yesterday.
"We noticed this morning that small pieces of ash were landing on our car," Neal Carlson said.
The fire on Pinnacle Mountain spread quickly. South Carolina forestry officials say the fire had burned less than an acre Wednesday evening. By Thursday evening that number was up to 250 acres.
"When the humidity is low the fuel burns a lot easier, then you have wind pushing it, and slopes of the mountains, fire burns uphill very fast," Michael Bozzo, the regional forester said.
In North Carolina, a wildfire at Lake Lure nearly doubled in size overnight which forced around 50 people to evacuate.
"You're in such a panic trying to get out of your home you forget things like shampoo," said Amy Brevard, who had to evacuate her home.
Governor McCrory issued a State of Emergency because the fires have become so hard to contain.
"This is extremely dangerous," Gov. Pat McCrory said. "Dangerous for the firefighters and possibly dangerous for the structures and people in and around these fires."
Firefighters say getting to the fires on the rugged terrain has been one of the biggest challenges. They are having to ATV and hike up narrow, rocky trails. And because there are so many wildfires, resources are thinner than normal.
"The Southeastern states have a compact agreement where we help each other out, but everyone's having their own problems right now," Bozzo said.
Officials say because of the low humidity they're expecting the fires to spread even more throughout the night.
Bozzo says the conditions are too dangerous for firefighters to work throughout the night. But, they'll continue digging the fire lines Friday morning. He says fortunately there are no homes in the path for the Pinnacle Mountain fire.
The South Carolina Forestry Commission issued a burning ban Wednesday, November 9 for Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, Pickens and Spartanburg counties. The commission extended the ban to all piedmont counties effective 6 p.m. Thursday.
Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Chester, Edgefield, Fairfield, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Lexington, McCormick, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, Richland, Saluda, Spartanburg, Union and York Counties are now under a burning ban.

Rhabdomyolysis (cont.)
How Is Rhabdomyolysis Diagnosed?
The evaluation of rhabdomyolysis begins with the history and physical examination of the patient. The health care practitioner will assess the underlying potential causes for muscle breakdown. Sometimes it is obvious; the patient is a trauma victim. Sometimes it will require detailed information gathering about the patient such as any underlying medical conditions and medication history.
The physical examination will not only focus on muscle injury but also on the potential complications of kidney failure and hyperkalemia with associatedheart rhythm disturbances.
Blood tests may include a complete blood count and clotting profile, electrolytes, kidney function (BUN and creatinine), and creatine phosphokinase (CPK), a chemical found in muscle that is also released into the blood stream with muscle damage. Markedly elevated levels of CPK in the appropriate clinical setting confirms the diagnosis.
Urinalysis may be helpful. Myoglobin can be presumed to be present in the urine if the chemical test for blood in the urine is positive but no red blood cells are seen on microscopic examination.
Are There Home Remedies for Rhabdomyolysis?
If rhabdomyolysis is suspected, early medical evaluation is required. It is important for the patient, their family, or caregivers, to recognize the potential that the disease exists, and seek urgent medical care.
If the case is mild, home treatment may include rest and adequate hydration, along with rehydrating by plenty of drinking fluids.

AS he limped away from Ewood Park nursing a broken leg last September, the possibility of playing in Euro 2004 was the last thing on Jamie Carragher's mind.
But nine months on, Carragher, (right), believes the injury he suffered may have been a key factor in securing his position as one of England's top defenders.
Since fighting his way back to fitness, Carragher's form has actually improved. He's gone up a level and his international call-up was fully deserved given his consistency.
"This season was the first time I've had to spend a long time out during the course of a season and it does make you look at things a bit differently," said Carragher.
"When you're watching the lads out there you can learn as much as when you're playing. I've listened to all the criticism of my game that I don't get forward enough, and while I didn't want to lose the fact I'm an out-and-out defender, I wanted to improve that aspect of the game.
"I think since I've come back I've shown I've worked on that and I've managed to get forward a lot more from full-back.
"One of the reasons I worked so hard to get back was because I was terrified of losing my place. Even when you're fit, it's hard enough to stay in the team, but when you can't do anything about it, there's always a worry in the back of your mind someone is going to come in, do really well, and that will be it for you.
"I wanted to get back in as soon as possible and make a full-back position mine again."
That said, Carragher's passport to Portugal wasn't secured as a full-back, but as a centre-half.
Hotly tipped to make the final 23 last week, the 26-year-old had no idea if the speculation was right until 2pm on Monday.
He said: "I was just sitting watching Sky when the squad was being announced. I felt very nervous because I wasn't told in advance I was in. Everyone in the Press was tipping me to be in it, but you never know until it happens.
"When my name was read out I was delighted. It's a great honour to get in the 23.
"I'd never even thought about going to the European Championships until a few weeks ago. At the start of the season, all the talk was about how I was going to lose my Liverpool place, never mind get in the England squad. Then I had the injury so I wouldn't have thought I had a chance.
"I think when you're playing well for a club like Liverpool there's always a possibility of getting noticed. It's also helped me that so many other good defenders are injured."
But what about the prospect of playing centre-half?
"It doesn't bother me at all. I've really enjoyed the last few games in that position for Liverpool and I've played there before earlier in my career," he said.
"When I was 20 I went a full season at centre-half. Obviously with Sami Hyypia and Stephane Henchoz being here, there was never going to be much chance of me playing there over the last few years. But with Stephane injured recently, I've gone back there and enjoyed it."
England recognition is one of many highlights in a momentous week for the defender.
He revealed: "Yes, it's been a great few days for me, personally. My fiancee, Nicola, gave birth to our second child last Friday. We've called the little girl, Mia. On top of that we've qualified for the Champions League and now I'm going to Euro 2004.
"I think when Gerard Houllier heard my baby was due on the eve of the Newcastle game, he was a bit worried my mind would be elsewhere if the match mattered. Fortunately, it didn't.
"The only downside is I join the England squad on Sunday and my baby and girlfriend won't be able to travel, so I'll be out there on my own for most of the next six weeks. But that's what happens when you are a footballer.
"I'm sure I'll enjoy being part of it. Obviously the Liverpool lads are my mates and I know a lot of the England players because we've come through the youth and Under-21 level together.
"I also think I'm part of a squad that can do really well."

The second-highest-ranking official in the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida has resigned over a rift developing between the local diocese and the national church regarding the ordination of gays. The Reverend Ernest Bennett circulated an E-mail to other ministers in the diocese on Tuesday citing his "deepest pain" over the direction he believes the diocese is heading. Delegates at the diocese's convention last weekend deleted the words "Episcopal Church" from a resolution pledging diocesan unity with the worldwide Anglican Communion and the See of Canterbury. The revised resolution was in response to national Episcopal leaders' vote last month confirming the election of the Reverend Gene Robinson of New Hampshire as the church's first openly gay bishop.
As a delegate to the national convention, Bennett voted against Robinson's confirmation and a resolution reading that same-sex blessing ceremonies are consistent with church teachings. But he said the vote last weekend in Orlando takes the diocese "to a place I cannot go.... I am a priest in the Episcopal Church, and I intend to stay," he said.
Bishop John Howe acknowledged that Bennett's departure is a sign of strong differences within the diocese. Neither he nor the diocese have any intention of leaving the Episcopal Church, Howe said. "There is division throughout the whole church, that's the problem," Howe said.

THREE people in the past 24 hours have had DROPDOWN DRAMA! But there are easy solutions. We just need to relax.
Cheryl maintains clean data, by using dropdown lists to control data entry. But there's a problem she describes:
"Oh! I hate it when I make dropdowns with 3 items and then somebody asks me to add 3 more. Re-doing all of those lists is a hassle!"
Yes Yes. In comparison, making those dropdown lists all over again makes 2 wild skunks look like fun. I've been there. I've completely re-created dropdown lists, and it can be especially unnerving when the new entries have to be in a specific order.
Ah! But it's not so difficult when you use Excel tables to make the lists DYNAMIC.
Josh and Heather (and everyone else), put your glasses on and pay attention. We're going to address Cheryl's need for Dynamic Dropdown lists, and your question about Dependent Dropdown lists.
Dynamic Dropdown List: easily add new entries to existing list
Dependent Dropdown List: list is dependent upon variable data in another cell
Can you think of other uses for Dynamic Dropdown lists?
I automatically make Dynamic Dropdowns because when a spreadsheet is being developed, there is always something unforeseeable that needs to be added or removed:
- Employee names
- Cities
- Shipping methods
- Menu items
- Destinations
So, unless you're sure you have static choices like Yes & No, it's good to be able to create Dynamic Dropdown lists and add new entries to the bottom of a table.
- They limit choices to the ones that are appropriate
- They limit the number of choices so that you don't have of all 18 choices, you have only the handful that you really need.
- Foods
- Fruits, Vegetables, Meat, Desserts, Drinks
- Routine Tasks
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
- Process ownership
- Marketing, Customer Service, Inside Sales
- Diets
- Kosher, Vegetarian, Shellfish Allergy, Gluten free
I hope this helps. Please do ask any questions, share your thoughts and leave comments on this page. It'd be great to know if this is helpful and what can be done better.

Updated NICOT and NICNT
Great news! Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. continues to expand their highly-rated New International Commentary series on the Old and New Testaments. As their website says:
This premier commentary series enjoys a worldwide readership of scholars, pastors, priests, rabbis, and serious Bible students. They eagerly consult its high-quality volumes to inform their preaching, teaching, and academic research, and they warmly welcome each newly published volume as they would an encounter with a stimulating new friend. Through the rigorous yet reverent study contained in these commentary volumes, readers hear afresh the voice of the living God speaking his powerful word.
Please see Darin Allen's earlier blog post on the NICNT and NICOT series in Accordance for a personal view of the value of this series.
Update February 2016
We are happy to add three new volumes to these series.
The new NICOT set now comprises 25 volumes and adds:
The Book of Psalms
By Nancy L. deClaissé-Walford, Rolf A. Jacobson, Beth LaNeel Tanner
The Book of Judges
By Barry G. Webb
The new NICNT set comprises only 18 volumes since it now includes the latest edition for each book of the New Testament (except 2 Peter and Jude which has not been published yet). The latest set adds:
The First Epistle to the Corinthians, Revised Edition
By Gordon D. Fee
The four older volumes (now out of print) are still available for individual purchase, as are all the other volumes. The older volumes that were included in our original NICNT and NICNT-18 sets (John, 1Cor, Hebrews, James) will be provided free of charge to owners of those sets so that they can continue to use them in parallel with the new editions.
The previous NICNT2 and NICNT2-3 modules are no longer needed, as the newer editions they contained are now included in the new NICNT18 module.
See the article on NICOT/NICNT for a more detailed listing of current volumes and previous sets.
If you own any of the earlier sets you can upgrade to the current sets and pay only for the new volumes.
If you have previously purchased these commentaries on a different software platform, please see this page for details of the crossgrade options.
Transferring Highlights
If you have highlighted your present copy of NICNT or NICOT, you can transfer your highlights from the main old module to the new. However, NICNT highlights can only be transferred for the unchanged volumes. Here is a procedure for ensuring that all your highlights are preserved.
- Search for any highlights in the older volumes of NICNT-18 or NICNT, and manually reproduce them in the individual modules (optional).
- Transfer the highlights from NICNT-18 (or NICNT) to the new NICNT18. You can find instructions in the Help files at: Digging Deeper > Color Highlighting > Transfer Highlights to Updated Modules
- Search for any highlights in the NICNT2-3 (or NICNT-2), and manually reproduce them in the relevant volumes of NICNT18 (optional).
- Remove the old sets from the Library (NICNT-18, NICNT, NICNT2-3, NICNT-2)
Opening Commentaries in a Zone Versus a Pane
In Accordance, you can open a commentary (or any other reference-based tool) in a pane within your Bible search tab, or in a separate zone. So what are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach?
To open a commentary as a pane, select it from the Reference Tool pop-up menu on the right side of the Search window.
The primary advantage of opening your commentary as a pane is that it will appear alongside your Bible text and scroll in sync with it. All you need to do is select the commentary you want and Accordance does the rest. You never have to worry about manually tying or syncing the two.
Opening a commentary in a pane is like creating a study Bible where the commentary follows along with the text. The primary means of accessing the commentary becomes the text itself: you navigate to the desired passage and the commentary follows along. Yet what if you want to focus more intently on the commentary itself: to search it, to use its table of contents, etc.? It is then that you'll want to open your commentary in a separate zone.
By opening your commentary in a separate zone, you have access to the search entry box at the top of the window, as well as the Browser pane and other features. The only downside of opening a commentary this way is that it will not automatically scroll in sync with your Bible text as it would in a pane.
You can, however, make it sync with your Bible text by tying the scrolling of the two windows. To do this, simply go to the Set submenu of the Window menu and choose the name of the resource you want to Tie with the current resource. For example, if your commentary zone is active and you have another zone with the HCSBS as the main Bible text, you would go to the menu and choose Tie to "HCSBS." From that point on, your commentary will scroll in sync with the HCSB, just as if you had opened it as a pane in the HCSB window.
In my next post, I'll show you how you can open a commentary in a separate zone and have it tied to your Bible text automatically. Until then, let me remind you that the introductory sale on NICNT ends today. Buy it today and you save a hundred dollars off the regular price, so don't miss out.
Commentary Sets vs. Individual Volumes
Not long ago, a seminary student explained why he prefers to buy individual volumes of a multi-volume commentary rather than the entire set. He said that when he is studying or teaching through a book of the Bible, he would prefer to buy the best commentaries he can find on that particular book. Then when he moves on to another book, he'll buy commentary volumes on that book. For those who prefer to purchase commentaries that way, we have a number of large commentary sets which can be purchased in individual volumes or small groups of volumes. These include Pillar, NIGTC, NAC, NICNT, and more.
While buying individual volumes initially costs less than buying an entire set, purchasing a commentary piece by piece will ultimately cost you more. By taking advantage of sale prices and our payment plan, you can get the most bang for your buck while also spreading the purchase out into manageable payments.
In addition to the financial advantages of buying complete sets rather than individual volumes, complete commentaries offer the additional advantages of greater scope and simplicity. If you display your commentary in a pane alongside your text, a complete set will always give you information about whatever passage you happen to be viewing. You also have the simplicity of dealing with a single module. You simply display NICNT, for example, and it stays in sync with whatever passage you navigate to.
If, on the other hand, you purchased individual volumes of NICNT, when you navigate to a different passage, you'll have to switch your commentary pane to a different NICNT module. That is, of course, if you even own the relevant volume.
Beyond the advantages in price, scope, and simplicity, complete commentary sets also have the advantage of containing hidden gems you might not otherwise discover. I'll give you an example of that in tomorrow's post.
Who Says Breakin' Up is Hard to Do?
With all due respect to Neil Sedaka, breaking up isn't really that hard to do, and sometimes it can be a good thing. No, I'm not talking about the tragic end of an Accordance for iPad initiated church romance, but the breaking up of a large commentary set into individual volumes. That's just what we've done with the recently released New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT). Now you can purchase and download individual volumes instead of having to buy the entire set at once. Obviously, you'll pay more if you buy the series piecemeal, but those of you who only want certain volumes now have the freedom to buy the ones you need without having to spring for those you don't. We'll even give you an extra 10% off if you buy three or more volumes at one time. Go here to purchase individual volumes of NICNT (or other commentaries), and here to purchase the entire set.
Also, don't forget that our Back-to-School sale ends tomorrow. If you've been wanting to buy or upgrade an Accordance package, now is the best time to save some serious coin.
NICNT (21 Volumes) Now Available
I'm pleased to announce that the New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT) is now available for Accordance. This highly acclaimed and immensely popular commentary series consists of 21 volumes covering all the books of the New Testament except for 2 Peter and Jude. The series seeks "to provide earnest students of the New Testament with an exposition that is thorough and abreast of modern scholarship and at the same time loyal to the Scriptures as the infallible Word of God."
NICNT is so popular precisely because it provides exposition which takes technical questions into account, but which avoids getting bogged down in technical details. More technical aspects, such as grammatical, textual, and historical problems, are dealt with in footnotes, special notes, and appendixes—enabling the main text of the commentary to remain highly readable and accessible.
One unusual aspect of this series is that it is continually being updated, with older volumes sometimes being revised or replaced with newer volumes more conversant with contemporary scholarship. We're very pleased to be able to include a second module (NICNT2-3) containing the three newest NICNT volumes: a new commentary on the Gospel of John by J. Ramsey Michaels, one on the letter of James by Scot McKnight, and the Epistle to the Hebrews by Gareth Lee Cockerill. These can be compared side-by-side with the older commentaries on these books by Leon Morris, James B. Adamson, and F. F. Bruce.
The Accordance edition of this series has been painstakingly developed to take full advantage of the software's capabilities. Intelligent search fields, instant abbreviations, thousands of links to other Accordance resources, and more enable you to access these commentaries like never before.
These volumes of NICNT retail for more than $1000 in print, but we're offering them for just $639.99. Click here to order.
This article was updated March 2014 to indicate additional volumes.

Lord Williams of Elvel: My Lords, can the noble Earl define what he means by "the countryside"?
Earl Ferrers: No, my Lords. I shall not be quite as stupid as that. The noble Lord, Lord Williams of Elvel, must know what the countryside is; he must know the difference between the countryside and the town. I shall not waste your Lordships' time on the question of a definition.
When agriculture is going through such a depression, it is surprising that the only contribution that the Government can make is to introduce a Bill to ban fox hunting, and thereby add yet more to the unemployment and the misery in the countryside. I shall say no more about that because we discussed such matters yesterday, and earlier today.
Foot and mouth disease will go, and things will get better. Normality in the countryside will return. There is a future in agriculture, although it may be difficult to see it now and it may not come as soon as we would wish. But when the population of the world is due to multiply fourfold in the lifetime of some of those who are alive today from 3,000 million in 1960 to 12,000 million in 2025, food will be required and agriculture and the countryside--they are bound up together--will prosper.
What can the Government do in the short and medium term? On the foot and mouth front, I hope that we can avoid shooting animals in front of other animals. I know that it is difficult to achieve that, but it is pretty fundamental in terms of animal welfare. I hope that we can dispose of carcasses quickly. There are those in Derbyshire who say that the smell of burning animals pollutes the air. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Hooson, who questioned the wisdom of carrying carcasses across the country, even though they are in so-called "sealed containers". If the disease is so virulent as to close markets, why risk its spread by moving known, diseased animals even in supposedly air-tight containers? I was interested to hear the answer given by the noble Baroness in response. However, for all that, the old method of digging holes, placing quick lime in them and then burying the animals was fairly effective and very swift.
I hope that the Government will try to explain the following to farmers--indeed, perhaps the Minister will explain the situation to the House. When vast
The Government claim to be drawing down £150 million from the European Union. As my noble friend Lady Byford pointed out, that is money provided by the EU, not for foot and mouth disease but for currency fluctuations to which the Government are automatically entitled because of the strong pound. Indeed, they are entitled to much more. I believe that they are entitled to some £500 million. There was even a time a few years ago when they were entitled to £2,000 million, but they never took it. If the economy is doing as well as the Chancellor of the Exchequer tells us, why do not the Government draw their full allocation and so relieve the difficulties being experienced by the industry? Over the past four years we have failed to draw that which was due to the United Kingdom; that is, not that which we might draw if we wished to do so, but that which was due to us because our currency stood high. As a result, our farmers suffer.
On other fronts, we ought to try to aim for "a level playing field"--an awful expression--for the United Kingdom. When milk was 16 pence a litre in this country, it was 24 pence a litre in Holland and 25 pence a litre in Ireland. There is no equality there. Imported food should be produced under the same animal welfare conditions as those that are imposed on British farmers. Thai chicken, Polish pork and Danish bacon all undercut the British product. Why? It is because our producers are obliged to incur higher costs over animal welfare than those of our competitors. The anomaly should be removed whereby imported food can be cut, processed, or even just packed in the UK, and thereafter labelled "British food", which it manifestly is not. This is wholly deceiving for housewives.
The Government should investigate the relationship between the price that is paid to the producer and the price that is paid by the consumer. Potatoes may be sold by the farmer for £150 a tonne, but potato crisps sell for £8,500 a tonne. Wheat may be sold by the farmer for £60 a tonne, yet the wheat content of a 50 pence loaf is about 3 pence. Of course, agriculture must compete in a competitive world, as do the supermarkets, but it must be a fair one. The idea that it is in the consumers' interests for supermarkets to buy the basic product as cheaply as possible is obviously nonsense. If agriculture were to go into permanent decline--there are those who say that we can buy our milk, beef and pork on the world market--what would be left here at home--a miserable, derelict, run-down countryside? Of course, there would be plenty of wildlife but of a different variety--bats, stoats and weasels. Gone would be the robin, the thrush and the songbirds. The dawn chorus would be a thing of the past.
A healthy countryside depends on a healthy agriculture. However, all is not doom and gloom for the future, though for the present it may seem like it.
The Earl of Caithness: My Lords, I declare my interest not as a farmer but as a trustee of a property with a pedigree herd of Aberdeen Angus and a pedigree flock of north country Cheviots.
I start by taking a brief look back at the countryside before this terrible disease was imported and at what I might have said then in a debate on the countryside. As the noble Baroness, Lady Mallalieu, said yesterday and today, I should have said that it was a place of total disenchantment. Probably over half a million people would have marched through London this weekend in the biggest civil rights demonstration this country has seen. In real terms incomes from farming are probably at their lowest level since the Second World War. In a large section of the industry people are not earning a living unless finance and mortgage charges are minimal, and yet the screw is tightening.
In addition to the figures relating to recent years mentioned by my noble friend Lady Byford, the number of those leaving farming between mid-2000 and 2005 has been revised upwards from a third to more like a half. At a recent high-level conference it was estimated that by 2005 only 25 per cent of those farming now would have a future. On the back of that the whole infrastructure supporting the countryside is crumbling. We have a Government who do not understand the countryside or the problems farmers face and will not claim the full agrimonetary funds to which they are entitled.
The rural White Paper was a short-term piece of window dressing that neither looked at the main issues nor their consequences. We are saddled with an unhelpful and difficult to reform CAP. The Dutch and Germans illegally export to us specified risk material and the French illegally ban the import of clean, certified British beef. Now we have foot and mouth which, far from being just a farmer's nightmare, is a disaster and a national countryside emergency. Not a single aspect of the countryside is unaffected. I refer to riding establishments, vermin control, fishing, tourism, farm workshops, stock shows--you name it, everything and everyone is suffering detrimentally. Most people, particularly the "townies", are just not aware how everyday life is being changed, nor of the utter despair and isolation--the noble Lord, Lord Williams of Elvel, mentioned that--which are prevalent in many parts of the country.
I congratulate the Government on adopting the right policy of trying to stamp out the disease by killing and burning affected animals. I do not believe that vaccination is the answer for this country. However, the implementation of their policy has not been to a standard that one would have hoped. Stock are not being killed for days after notification. If France can get that bit right, so should we. Neither is dead stock being disposed of quickly enough. Can noble Lords
Let us look at the animal welfare problems. The disease has been spread much wider and more quickly because of the regulations on the transportation of livestock. These, and those that forced the closure of local abattoirs, combined with the pressure of the supermarkets to determine where stock can be slaughtered, have exacerbated our problems. Hundreds of thousands of sheep are in the wrong place for lambing and are suffering greatly. Although very limited livestock movement is now permitted, as predicted that has become a bureaucratic nightmare. Farmers are now being told that they will have to wait for days before their application forms can even be looked at when the stock, for their own sake, need to be moved now, today, and not at the end of the week.
Can the Minister tell me whether it is true that officials responsible for this matter are not working through the night to clear the backlog? Farmers work through every night at lambing time and businesses do so when that is necessary, so why cannot officials?
The licensing of stock going to abattoirs is also a mess and is unco-ordinated. Stock are taken there only to be turned away. The present system is similar to selling 300 tickets for an aeroplane that has only 250 seats. Surely there ought to be a more logical and ordered system with specific collection points so that controls can be implemented more efficiently and more effectively.
Despite the lead given by the noble Baroness, Lady Hayman, for which I admire her as she has done an excellent job, and the hard work of the veterinary profession and others, it is not surprising that the Government are being caught out by this tragedy. For them to say that they have the situation under control when they obviously do not just adds insult to injury.
There are further steps that the Government could, and should, take immediately. Will the Minister confirm that she will arrange for all farmers due to receive funds in the next few months for such items as ewe premium and HCAs to be sent the money immediately? They are all suffering a cash flow crisis. If they were to receive that money sooner rather than later it would help their cash flow problems. Will the Minister also agree to extend the closing date for Countryside Stewardship schemes beyond 31st May as at present FWAG and others cannot get to farms to assess claims?
I expect that many people do not understand the implications of having one's stock destroyed, so I hope that I may spell it out. It is not like a factory which can stop making widgets one day and quickly swap to another product the next. My noble friend Lady Byford said that a sheep farmer may take a year to return to production. I take the example of a beef farmer. If his stock are slaughtered today, he will get
Let us assume that the farmer buys young stock that require six months to reach maturity. Then there are the nine months of pregnancy, followed by up to 30 months before the next generation is sold. That farmer will be without a cash flow for over four years. It should not be forgotten that the adjacent farmer, who is not directly affected, will inevitably suffer a huge cash flow loss this year, as will everyone else working in the countryside. I refer to those who own holiday cottages, B&Bs, pubs and local village shops. Many of those will not be around next year.
It is perhaps a little unfair to debate the future when the countryside is in the middle of a crisis, but it has to be faced. Let us hope that the Prime Minister, who has now, rather belatedly, woken up to some of the problems and held a meeting with representatives today, does not lose interest in the subject when all this quietens down.
The task force mentioned by the Minister is not enough to tackle the future. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Hoyle: it does not have the necessary gravitas and will not have the right direction. I suggest that a Royal Commission with a strict timescale be appointed. The right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Salisbury mentioned some of the issues that such a Royal Commission could consider. I add a few more to his list. In a sophisticated economy with high costs, should we try to produce food at world prices instead of high quality, high price food? Do we want farmers to be farmers; or do we want them to be park keepers? They cannot be both at the same time. What scale of unit and what kind of infrastructure do we want them to have?
The restructuring of farms is now in sharp focus. That issue cannot be fudged. Should some of those affected by the foot and mouth disease be encouraged to go back into an industry which would probably squeeze them out in a few years' time? Is that not a waste of money and a hurtful and deceitful thing to do to people? Should our system of stock farming change to prevent the trading of animals in the way that has currently developed which has helped to spread this foot and mouth disease outbreak?
Is our intensive agriculture right? Are we manipulating nature too much, making matters more difficult for ourselves and making ourselves more prone to disease? As long as we import food from overseas, we shall get disease. The current strain of foot and mouth disease started in India in the 1990s and rapidly spread East and West; and there will be new strains to come. Swine fever is caused by a carelessly thrown away sandwich containing imported ham; and again there will be more to come.
Although I am not a farmer my heart bleeds for them and those in the countryside who are at the receiving end of this disaster. Now is the time for the Government to show strong leadership and responsibility. That, sadly, has been lacking to date.
Lord Clement-Jones: My Lords, this is designed to be a brief intervention on an issue which has both short and long-term significance and will inject, I am afraid, a further sombre note into today's debate.
I am not a countryman by background but I have a strong concern for the health of those who work in rural areas. The key issue of mental stress suffered by farmers, farm workers and their families is of major importance, and never more so than now. The noble Lord, Lord Plumb, referred graphically to this earlier in the debate. Research in the 1990s found that over 500 farmers in England and Wales killed themselves between 1979 and 1990. The research found that 70 per cent of working farmers had experienced mental health problems.
A survey last year of British tenant farmers by the National Farmers Union suggested that one in 10 is being prescribed anti-depressants. Seventy per cent of those farmers said that their business concerns keep them awake at night. More than 70 farmers and farm workers in England and Wales committed suicide in 1998. That rose to 77 in 1999. Farmers are now twice as likely to commit suicide as an ordinary member of the public. This issue was rightly raised recently by Prince Charles, with his great concern for rural life. Only today The Times--my noble friend Lord Hooson and the noble Earl, Lord Ferrers, referred to the article--described how Devon police are taking away the shot guns of those they believe to be at risk.
Stress induced suicide is clearly a growing problem in rural areas. It is now the second most common form of death among farmers aged between 16 and 45 years. This is hardly surprising. As many noble Lords have pointed out, farm incomes have dropped by two thirds in the past few years. Indeed, it is clear that there is a strong link between the social disadvantage of low incomes and mental health problems. This is compounded by rural isolation, described so graphically by the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Salisbury. This problem may well spread further afield, beyond the farming community, as local businesses, our tourist industry and hauliers are hit by the foot and mouth disease epidemic, as described by the noble Baroness, Lady Mallalieu. Women married to farmers have a suicide rate more than 20 per cent higher than average. But rural suicides are, throughout the age range, predominantly male.
Suicide among young men recently has been the subject of investigation by the Men's Health Forum. It found that few health authorities have developed and implemented effective suicide strategies. Yet reducing the number of suicides is one of the key targets in the Government's Health White Paper and the National Plan. It is outlined in the National Service Framework for Mental Health. Health improvement plans were
With the current epidemic of foot and mouth disease, not to mention some of the earlier tribulations, many farmers are seeing their life's work being destroyed. The problem of suicide in the countryside will, I fear, become worse. As it is, the Rural Stress Information Network, referred to by the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Hereford, has reported a 400 per cent increase in distress calls since the first outbreak in February.
The various avenues open to preventing suicide in rural areas were well documented in a research publication, Suicide and Stress in Farmers, funded by the Department of Health and published in 1998. The steps suggested in that report included improving the knowledge and attitudes of farming communities to mental disorder; ensuring that GPs and others are aware of the way mental problems present themselves; provision of out of area practitioner services for farmers who do not wish to seek help locally; regular health checks; vigorous treatment of depression; follow up of farmers with mental problems at home; support of farmers with financial difficulties; co-ordination of rural stress initiatives; and removal of firearms from those suffering from depression.
Few health action zones cover rural areas. Therefore that instrument for implementing those proposals is not generally available. As a county, Dorset provides an excellent example of developing an effective suicide prevention strategy. The relevant agencies have been pulled together and a strategy has been developed. I welcome the setting up of the Rural Mental Health Services Group last October dedicated to tackling these issues; and in particular the personal involvement of Professor Louis Appleby, the National Director for Mental Health. I also welcome the development of one-stop primary care centres in rural areas. Rural health services are often very limited, with small cottage hospitals closed or closing and fewer local GP practices as GPs consolidate into larger practices.
A great deal is being done by professional and voluntary groupings, especially through organisations such as the Rural Stress Information Network, the Royal College of General Practitioners rural practices group, the Rural Health Institute, the Farmers Crisis Network and the Samaritans. The Government have not been inactive. They have taken some valuable steps, outlined in the rural White Paper, particularly in conjunction with Mind on the RuralMinds project, designed to provide training and education for those providing support in rural areas. They have also given
We need to ensure that all those measures are effective. The problems that I have outlined will only get worse as a result of the current crisis. I urge the Government to think and plan ahead and to redouble their efforts. Otherwise, there will be further avoidable tragedy in the countryside.
Lord Walpole: My Lords, I, too, thank the Minister for initiating the debate. I declare my interest as a landowner and retired farmer. I farmed for 35 years. As well as being an arable farmer, as one would expect in Norfolk, I also had cattle and sheep.
I remember the last two foot and mouth outbreaks, restrictions due to fowl pest and, unfortunately, recent restrictions in our county due to swine fever. However, I do not remember 1745, when, on 11th March, the London Gazette published the following Order in Council. I am trying to find your Lordships something else to listen to, so I shall quote it. It said:
There are also letters from a tenant, Mr Bell, to my ancestor Horatio Walpole, who at that time was MP for Norwich. His comments ring true today as well:
I quote those examples to show that the problem is not new. Indeed, to bring noble Lords more up to date, I expressed my concern some eight years ago in your Lordships' House to the noble Baroness, Lady Trumpington, who is not here, about the unnecessary transport of sheep over long distances. I suggested that the transport of carcasses would be much more humane than the transport of live animals. Later, I questioned the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch--I see that she is not in her seat; she was a moment ago--about keeping abattoirs local.
Norfolk is one of the few counties without confirmed cases in this outbreak of foot and mouth disease. I understand, and I hope that the Minister will not disillusion me, that only one farm is still undergoing tests. I believe that their result should be known soon. Also, sad to say, the lorry which was involved in taking pigs from Heddon to Cheals Foods was based in Norfolk.
For 20 years we have been involved in farm diversification. With the help of the Manpower Services Commission and with direct support from the local Ramblers' Association, we opened up 25 miles of footpaths. Some were on existing footpaths, some were new footpaths and some were discretionary. They link into the Norfolk Long-Distance Footpath system. We have a car park, toilets and so on, for which there is a small charge. We have a Caravan Club certified site, holiday cottages and children's nature activities. In other words, I believe that we did what the Ministry of Agriculture had been telling us to do for years in the way of diversifying. In 1989 we opened the park at Wolterton, where there had been virtually no public access. Many events take place at both venues, which are one-and-a-half miles apart.
On the Saturday after the first case of foot and mouth had been confirmed, we closed the park at Wolterton and the car park at Mannington and waited to see what others in Norfolk did. We were particularly worried about the grazing at Mannington, where we had many sheep belonging to a neighbour, and at Wolterton, where over 100 beef cows and their followers and organic sheep belonging to a tenant had been placed. In addition, over the past 20 years, the number of wild deer--red, roe and muntjac--in our area has increased significantly.
I am pleased to say that others seemed to follow us. The National Trust closed everything in East Anglia, including its holiday cottages. It is not allowing anyone on to any of its properties. The Forestry Commission closed Thetford Forest for the first time since it was planted over 80 years ago. I imagine that, again, that was done because of the considerable increase in the number of deer in that area.
I now want to tell the House what the county council has done. I do not believe that anyone has yet mentioned that county councils have played an
Strong political leadership, combined with a unified approach and good corporate partnership, was the key. Within six hours of the Foot and Mouth Disease (Amendment) (England) Order being made on 27th February, Norfolk County Council closed off all paths adjacent to D notice farms in the county. Within 24 hours, the council used the order to make a declaration of prohibited areas everywhere. In other words, no member of the public could enter any agricultural or forestry land in the county of Norfolk except on a public highway. That included the use of footpaths and bridleways. Therefore, they shut everything.
Closure signs, which carried the county council's logo and contact number, were available to farmers and landowners all over the county immediately. They were distributed electronically via the NFU and made available on the county council's website. They were e-mailed so as to reduce the need for extra journeys. All routine visits to farm and rural properties by council officers were stopped on 28th February. All council-owned countryside facilities, such as nature reserves and picnic areas, were closed on the same day.
Education, mobile library and social services provided by the council took all the action needed to respond to the situation. They issued guidance to everyone, including schools, parents, bus operators, county highway services and all other service contractors. The county also acted promptly on allegations of illegal movement of animals and, by 1st March, was investigating three incidents. Members of the public were encouraged to be vigilant with regard to animal movement.
I believe that the noble Earl, Lord Caithness, may be interested to know that the county has already issued 360 licences for the authorised movement of some 29,000 animals by 29th March. Extra resources have been put in place to speed up the issuing of those licences. Applicants get a special licence pack, information and reminders of the strict disinfecting procedures that must be followed.
The council has also been working on a day-to-day basis with a wide range of partners, including the NFU, MAFF and many others. On 2nd March, the council hosted a constructive meeting with the NFU, the CLA and the Ramblers' Association, at which there was agreement about the need for the council's actions and support for the council in taking them. There is a good information exchange network between the council and partner organisations which operates on a daily basis.
On public information, the council set up a public seven-days-a-week helpline to answer any questions about foot and mouth or to refer people to other agencies that might help. By 9th March, the helpline had taken more than 800 calls and a separate licensing
The council's website has a special link to foot and mouth, which is updated daily. The most frequently asked questions are amended and extended as necessary. I used that service this evening before speaking to find out what the situation is, but it still does not know about the last farm.
I am sure that all counties have done roughly the same but, frankly, I am proud of the efficiency of my old council and the speed with which it acted. I shall give just one example of local misery. My grazing tenant at Mannington has a problem with half of his sheep because they are on a neighbouring holding on sugar beet tops. At least, they were on sugar beet tops; they have eaten them. So far, he has not got permission to cross the road to our side of the road, where the sheep are going to lamb. It is perhaps ironic that an RSPCA officer came to look at the sheep because they had been reported as being on land where there was no food. That happened despite the fact that large quantities of straw and fodder-beet had been carted to them. The RSPCA officer was impressed by the effort that my tenant was making to keep his sheep under very difficult circumstances. That tenant has obtained from the website the necessary licence forms--all seven pages of them--to move his sheep. I hope that he got the forms in the post this evening and that he will be able to move the sheep.
Finally, what are we to learn? "Compensation to businesses other than farmers for consequential loss will no doubt be commented on by the Minister". That is what I wrote when I prepared my speech. Of course, she has answered most of the questions already.
The tourism industry, which is the most common form of diversification, will have serious problems. For example, the main north Norfolk tourism workshop, which was to have taken place on 30th March at Hockham, has been cancelled. Mind you, I think that that is the sensible thing to do. Also, we appear to have forgotten--no noble Lord has mentioned this so far--the fact that many charities and voluntary organisations are having great difficulty in operating, doing their jobs and raising money.
Secondly, we must look again at local production, at local slaughter and marketing of meat produce and at local distribution of, for example, organic food-in-box schemes. In other words, as the right reverend Prelate said, we must reduce food miles.
Finally, research must be stepped up so that this terrible situation, which affects everyone in this country, does not occur again with such disastrous consequences.
Earl Peel: My Lords, although I welcome the opportunity to have this debate I need hardly say that, like other noble Lords, I regret very deeply indeed the tragic circumstances in which it is taking place.
I declare an interest as a landowner in north Yorkshire, where I have a number of tenant farmers who are sitting on the edge of their chairs waiting and praying that they will not be affected by this dreadful outbreak of foot and mouth disease. All I can say is that I wholeheartedly agree with other noble Lords that we can only feel genuine despair for those individual farmers and their families who are undergoing such a debilitating and sole-destroying calamity. Surely, even those who hold the most jaundiced views about farmers and farming must now realise that we are witnessing an industry in total crisis, not to mention the associated human suffering.
In addition to those problems, the relentless demands on farmers continue--demands for cheaper food, higher animal welfare standards, a pristine environment, free and unrestricted access, and the continual whinging about the feather-bedding of farmers through subsidy. I am the first to say that, in my view, much of that subsidy is badly directed. However, I say to those who complain about support for farmers: what state would the farming industry and the countryside now be in, if it was not for support? We have a real crisis, but I can tell your Lordships that it would be much worse but for the support systems that are in place.
I should like to raise a further point, to which I may later return, concerning the question of red tape. It abounds all over every farmyard. Forms have become longer and deeper. The constant dialogue with which the farmers have to contend from the plethora of agencies now running the countryside is, quite frankly, driving them bonkers. Yet, despite that red tape, there remains a wonderful, stoical determination to carry on against all the odds, which I find extraordinary. Anyone who heard Clare Lambert being interviewed on the farming programme about her family's recent foot and mouth disaster in Wensleydale, which is very close to where I live, could not help but be moved--not just by the tragedy itself but by, as much as anything, her quiet determination to see the crisis through and to bravely battle on into what can only be described as a very uncertain future.
As other noble Lords have said, it is not only the farming industry that is suffering. The tourist industry, crucial to many rural areas, is on its knees. I quote from last Friday's edition of my local newspaper, the Darlington and Stockton Times:
I feel a genuine sorrow for the Minister and for everyone in her department. This is an awful crisis, which she and her colleagues have to face. She will
However, I was interested to hear on the recent farming programme the very severe criticisms made by the Irish Minister of Agriculture. Although I am not suggesting for one moment that he was right in what he said--and I do understand his considerable interest--I should be very interested to hear whether the Minister feels that any of his criticisms can in any way be substantiated. He clearly put forward some very strong suggestions, and I should be very interested to hear whether or not the Minister feels that they are helpful.

Hamsik nears new Napoli deal
Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik is confident he will sign a new long-term contract with the club before Christmas.
By Simone Bargellini & Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 20/11/11 2:28pm
Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik is confident he will sign a new long-term contract with the club before Christmas.
The Slovakia international has attracted interest from several leading clubs across Europe, with Paris St Germain most recently linked with a bid.
Premier League leaders Manchester City are also confirmed admirers of the 24-year-old, but he is set to disappoint his many suitors by agreeing to stay with Napoli.
Hamsik is expecting to meet with Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis in the near future and believes his future will be resolved before the New Year.
"With De Laurentiis, everything is going well," Hamsik told La Repubblica. "It's true that we have to meet shortly to renew the deal.
"I won't say when, but it will happen before Christmas."
The midfielder is due to face City in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday and his team-mates Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi have also been mooted as targets for Roberto Mancini's side.
However, while Mancini would welcome any of the trio in his squad, he believes it would be difficult to persuade Napoli to sell.
Mancini told Corriere dello Sport: "Hamsik, Cavani and Lavezzi? Who wouldn't want them?
"But it will be difficult to take them away from Napoli, especially if they are fighting for the Scudetto."

I had some leftover buttermilk, so I decided to try out some gluten-free muffins. I used a recipe from King Arthur Flour's website, and although the company makes a well-regarded gluten-free flour, this was a recipe that called for whole wheat flour. I decided to substitute in a gluten-free flour I had on hand to see what happened. I also used the gluten-free granola I make for our household, with oats, flax, pecans, dried blueberries and other things.
Here are the ingredients, as I used them:
- 2 cups gluten-free flour (I used Pamela's)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 generous teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup granola
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup almond milk
I mixed the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet in another and left the wet ingredients in the fridge overnight. The following morning, I combined the contents of the two bowls and then portioned out the batter into prepared muffin tins. I baked for 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The recipe made one dozen muffins. Couldn't have been easier, and they were a hit, with a taste like any other muffin.
I am still figuring out the gluten-free flours and how to get the best results. I'd love to hear your thoughts: Tweet me @mmacvean on e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

As soon as I got home, we packed her up and headed over to UC. The one we go to is actually an extension of Children's Mercy Hospital and it is really nice. Emmeline was thrilled to be out of the house and ran around the place like she hadn't been sick a day in her life. Of course.
|Checking out the HIPPA disclosure
Strep test was negative so we got the prescription for her ears and headed out. Stopped at the pharmacy to get the scrip filled and then hit up Chipotle for dinner. I got the salad and managed to spill the dressing all over the floor when we got home. I'm pretty awesome like that.
Girlfriend went right to bed when we got home since it was already like 9:00 and I inhaled my salad. No workout since it was so late and I was exhausted, but I have another 3 mile run scheduled for tonight. I am just trying to get through the day today so I can enjoy my 4 day weekend. I'm so excited I can't even tell you. We've got all the girls this weekend so I need to come up with something fun to do. I'm thinking that maybe we'll hit up Costco and enjoy all the free samples.

Discussion in 'On Topic' started by reman, Jun 4, 2007.
Back from cruise to Alaska and BC.
Win. 94?
wtf is this?
keltec 380
First one I think is a 94, the 2nd looks like what I imagine a keltec would look like after being microwaved.
Winchester Model 1894.
I doubt that ice sculpture is modeled after any gun in particular. Making a pistol isn't too hard if you don't just make random rectangular things and call it a day.
looks like an XD to me
second is definately a glock. picture tubberware in the microwave, that melted look
Hard to say what the first is, though it's more than likely a Winchester design, probably a 94 though since the Klondike Gold rush began around that time, and I'm assuming that's what the statute commemorates
second seems to be some generic ice sculpture, probably loosely based on James Bonds Walther PPK since it's so recognizable

Experience the magic of Kiruna in Sweden's most unique sauna. Enjoy views of the mountains to the sound of the fire crackling in the heart-shaped wood stove. During 2017, the Solar Egg will be moved around between postcards beautiful places in Kiruna vicinity, April 22 to May 20, the Solar Egg is standing at Riksbyggen plot in Luossavaara area.
Solar Egg can accommodate up to 8 people and is heated by a heart-shaped wood stove. The plated exterior is composed of 69 bits stainless steel reflecting their environment. Riksbyggen is the first out when the starting gun goes for urban transformation in Kiruna. We are celebrating by giving the city the Solar Egg, an artwork that symbolizes energy, hope and community. In partnership with Camp Ripan Kiruna, we offer residents an unforgettable sauna experience.
Riksbyggen's residential apartments at Luossabacken will be one of the first construction projects of Kiruna's city transformation and will have views of the Arctic fells. A housing cooperative owned by its members, Riksbyggen wants to give Kiruna a unique natural and cultural experience that reflects the city's location and puts people at the forefront. Solar Egg captures Kiruna's fantastic spirit and its sauna traditions.
Bigert & Bergström have a longstanding fascination with humanity's relationship to climate, nature, energy and technology. They gained international prominence with their climate chamber designed for World Expo in Lisbon in 1998. In 2015, Bigert & Bergström covered the peak of Sweden's highest mountain, Kebnekaise, with an insulating coat to examine whether geo-engineering could help to slow glacial melting. Solar Egg shifts that focus to practical use.
