For everyone who followed Haystack's journey into this life last year - she wants to invite all of your four-legged kids (and you, too, of course) to a big party celebrating her first birthday! She is healthy and happy and can't wait to celebrate with those who read and/or responded to her story last year. BTW, she is still just as opinionated as ever and as fool-hardy but she has taken pre-cautions for the party - has a guest list a mile long (everyone who ever posted on her thread) and wants everyone to know that it is going to be the biggest and best party ever! Of course, everything is the biggest and best ever for Haystack, but this time it is true. So who is coming? RSVP soon - need know as she has a number of ideas - cat trees from floor to ceiling, lots of "nip" (hey, it's legal - they sell it in brand-name stores) and the food? Well, she wants everyone to know they won't go hungry! Already received a number of "YES-RSVP responses" - Haystack wants to know how many more are coming! | |||
So sorry to decline your lovely invitation but we cannot exceed a day's drive in a crate and the trip from Ohio might be a bit longer so you will have to party without us! Snowball and Speedy | ||||
No problem, 16 paws! None of the four-legged furballs who live here go anywhere in their carriers either except to the vet! But Haystack is a member of the "tech-generation" so this will be a "virtual" party! Shall I count Snowball and Speedy as coming in that case? | ||||
You can count us in if it's a virtual party. We'd love to come. Happy birthday, Haystack. Grey, Cissie, Dulcey,Lynx and Cheetah | ||||
irish kid, Haystack says thanks for the wishes and is so happy that Grey, Cissie, Dulcey, Lynx and Cheetah will be attending! Haystack is getting so excited that her friends from all over the country will be sharing her birthday with her and thinks it will be her BEST birthday ever - of course, it will also be her first! | ||||
Party ??? Someone say Party ??? Mom says I can come……if I PROMISE to stay out of trouble !!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Georgia Peach, | ||||
Peach...she(?) looks like trouble with a capital T *Debi* ~*Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence*~ | ||||
We will definitely party with you! Why we will toss a bit of catnip around and madly chase each other around our table. We have also invited our friends Rocky and Zoe to attend but since they are German Shepherds they have chosen not to join in the affair. Rocky did say that if food was involved he might get up and join in--especially if the event involves cake and ice cream! Zoe is not interested since she only likes pool parties with lots of splashing and water! | ||||
Georgia Peach, Haystack is "over the moon" that Thai will be there - think she has had a bit of a crush on him for awhile! Why not, he's gorgeous! But he will have a bit of competition since we heard from "Mue" that Melvis will be attending as well and he's pretty handsome himself! Haystack is getting pretty full of herself with being the first Idaho cat to have a multi-state virtual party - thinks it's going to make her "a really cool cat" (pun intended) now that she's no longer going to be a kitten! So, debicga, any of your group on board? Hope so... and, 16paws, we've got Speedy and Snowball on the list - Haystack thinks they will be a great addition to the party. Catnip and chasing around tables is right up her area. Haystack says it's okay about Rocky and Zoe but she'll save some cake for them if they want! Well, must go finalize the menu and sign for the delivery of wall-to-wall cat trees since UPS just arrived... | ||||
WOW! Haystack has outdone herself in the entertainment area with the cat trees: check them out - just click on the written description beneath each thumbnail photograph! http://www.furwoodforest.com/products/ It's good thing this is only a "virtual" party! ETA: She ordered one of everything and three or four of all of the big ones! This message has been edited. Last edited by: Idaho Resident, | ||||
I think Punkin might be able to make it especially since Haystack has so generously provided such wonderful climbing toys But the puppers have decided to decline.... *Debi* ~*Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence*~ | ||||
debicga, So glad that Punkin will be joining us - Haystack can't wait to meet him! Glad you like the climbing toys aka cat trees; I think they are all pretty cool but sure am glad that it's just a "virtual" party! Would love to have one of them for real - maybe someday! Okay, party is almost ready to kick off - will post back later how it goes - as it is exactly one year ago today on May 4th that DH came in and told me "You've GOT to come out and see something" that turned out to be Haystack at the haystack and started this whole journey! | ||||
Well, the fun, fur and felines have been flying here for the last several hours - ever seen 16 cats in a house filled with wall-to-wall cat trees? Don't blink! Food was a rousing success. In addition to the usual fare, Haystack ordered salmon from Alaska, lobster from Maine, shrimp from Galveston AND fresh crab from San Francisco! Note to others - DO NOT allow your cat free access to the Internet! The wall-to-wall cat trees provided a lot of fun as did the crowning of the new "NASCAT" champion - tri-levels of staircase racing with an incredible last minute pass! Attendees came from here, there and everywhere: Melvis, Bubba, Grey, Snowball, Beets, Cissie, Tigger, Lynx, Tango, Speedy, Cheetah, Punkin, Alley Cat, Thai, Dulcey and, of course, HAYSTACK! Party ended with a seven layer "Catnip Cake" designed to look like an old-fashioned haystack (Haystack does have a flair for the dramatic) and everyone went home with a sack of "nip-toys" which will help explain things when some of the participants start trying to reach under refrigerators and the like in the next few weeks and you have no idea what they are doing! And that is all I am allowed to post about the party - Haystack's orders! I can say that everyone behaved very well except... well, I am sworn to secrecy about the identity of the one feline who got just a little carried away and started swinging from the LR ceiling fan! Thanks everyone for joining us for a most memorable party! | ||||
Melvis got the wrong day, thought the party was Saturday But since he's here and it's night time and our people are snoozing.........time for kitties to play again First rescue Thai from the ceiling fan Stair races and curtain climbing, yowling contest, pounce on & fling some meeces about, bat noisy toys down the stairs, check all the cupboards for food and crunchies.....stuff our faces Find the nip stash, get a little crazy........Nap time! Jump on the bed to visit the humanz, lick their nose, purrrr in their ear, round & round in circles kneading the blankies, plop down, stretch out and snooze Happy Birthday Haystack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #1 Pesky Cat Feb.14, 2003 | ||||
Glad to hear from you "Mue," but you do know that cats will play when the ***** are away? Think you are under the misconception that Melvis missed the party - NOT HARDLY - he was the life of it - along with a few others... Better check those privacy settings, Mue, 'cause Melvis is one smart cat! And everyone loved him here - I'm not allowed to say anything further - Haystack's "rules" - but it is pretty funny knowing what I know! Okay, all attendees might be a little zonked tommarrow - sign of a great party! But, Haystack wants EVERYONE to know that a great time was had by all! And, now, she is officially a CAT! PS. Did Melvis tell you it was Thai on the fan - classic! Blame the innocent one (or maybe not so innocent) - it really does take two to get that fan spinning that fast! This message has been edited. Last edited by: Idaho Resident, | ||||
Ack! We missed it? Thought it was tomorrow! I told ArchieKat we had a party to attend. He was so excited. He yawned, stretched.... and went right back to sleep Well, Happy Birthday Haystack We're thinking of you | ||||
Hoping Melvis behaved but I don't think so He didn't name names about the fan frolicking just mentioned meezers and fluffy orange kitties........no doubt helped by a little black cat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #1 Pesky Cat Feb.14, 2003 | ||||
40paintchips, Sorry that ArchieKat didn't make it - guarantee that he wouldn't have slept through the party had he been here! And Mue, no worries re Melvis - he was a complete gentleman (for the most part) but that is all I am allowed to say per Haystack's "rules" - rest assured he will be invited back if Haystack has anything to say about it! And thanks to everyone for playing along and letting your "nearest and dearest" attend the party - it wouldn't have been the same without you all! Now that Haystack is a CAT, we expect things to settle down, be quiet and sedate - NOT HAPPENING - but we can always dream! Looking forward to hearing about adventures from all of you once all the attendees recover... | ||||
Well, after Thai woke from a long catnap I mentioned the "ceiling fan incident"......he's pleading the 5th !! | ||||
Is it just me or does this one look like a "mug shot?" Thai, continue to assert the 5th - no witnesses here.... | ||||
Idaho, I've enjoyed your thread. Thanks for putting up with all my pictures of Thai. I'd love to see a picture of Haystack. Please share | ||||
Yup, mug shot I just had this disturbing thought that my social life has reached a new low when I go online to check out a virtual birthday party for a cat on the other side of the country I need a drink | ||||
Admit nothing, deny everything and call your attorney, Thai! Once they get your mugshot, they will blame you for everything. Don't let them take your paw prints! Decline to go down to the precinct. Snowball and Speedy are pretty tired today. Both do recall a lot of fun and the food was great! They have inquired about the cat trees and how soon can they expect one? Told them that we would have to discuss this at a later date. Zoe and Rocky want to know why all the fuss about turning one, after all they will be 7 on June 1st and no one has mentioned a party for them. Something to do with DQ ice cream and a fight between various dogs on a prior occasion comes to mind. | ||||
Thai kitty looks totally innocent Hey 40kpaintchips virtual parties are fun Cheers! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #1 Pesky Cat Feb.14, 2003 | ||||
Looks like Mue has responded and have to say they were delicious! Hey, the two-legged participants were entitled so, enjoy, "40paintchips" (thanks "Mue" for posting) and have to laugh at the rest of your post! This is one for the books - beats any "social life" I know of - but, then again, I have been spending my days planning a party for a kitten - make that a CAT - that will go down in history for all of us and all of you were there to witness the moment! | ||||
Accccckkkkk! We missed it! WHen/where was the party? | ||||
So that's why my furbabies are fishing under the refrigerator! Cissy is asking about the climbers. Dulcey was worn out. All he does is sleep. But a good time was had by all. They can't stop talking about the party. | ||||
I'm late getting to the party, but I hope it was a good one! Happy birthday, Haystack! | ||||
Bumping this one up to put it in order for luvtoflip. | ||||
Idaho Resident, I know I said the other Haystack topic was funny...but this one totally cracked me up too! So sad that Callie and Lola missed the party. They would have TOTALLY been there! Of course...Lola would have probably hogged the catnip and Callie...well....Callie would have been right in the middle of everything no doubt as she CAN be a little mischievous! Looking forward to the next party! Hugs~ Paula "Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened" | ||||

The Donors vs. The Starving: Who Will Give Up First?
We are in an epic battle: donor fatigue vs. hunger fatigue.
Crisis in Africa
In case you are living under a rock, there is a famine crisis caused by severe drought and Al-Qaeda backed rebels in the Horn of Africa, a region roughly defining the East African countries of Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eritrea. Tens of thousands have already died of starvation and millions more are at risk if resources are not made available quickly. Preventing more deaths due to hunger is possible, but time is ticking.
While it can be argued that the biggest obstacles preventing solutions in this region are corrupt foreign governments or our own tough economic times, it seems the real problems standing in the way are ignorance and complacency. How do go about our normal lives when millions of lives are on the brink of destruction? How can we watch videos of people starving to death and see photos of the devastation, then just look away? How can we hear that dead children are being left on the side of the road en route to refugee camps and not be affected?
Something must be done.
The Question
Obviously, a huge component to helping to alleviate the circumstances in the Horn of Africa involves generous and compassionate people giving their time, money, blood and other resources in order to put food and water in hands of the people that so desperately need it. Some people have not given yet, but many have already given – maybe they have even given a lot. Some are tired of giving or just tired of hearing about it.
Wynn Flaten of World Vision asks a great question:
We are in an epic battle: donor fatigue vs. hunger fatigue. The question is, "Who gives up first?"
– from Horn of Africa: In hunger battle, who gives up first?
How to Give Money or Do Something
Below are a list of some great organizations doing work in the Horn of Africa. Pick one. Do something. Help people. You may be surprised at how effective a small donation can be.
- Samaritan's Purse
- World Vision
- World Help
- World Hope
- Doctors Without Borders
- International Committee of the Red Cross
- charity: water
If you are a Christian, I appeal to you with these words from Jesus as recorded in the book of Matthew. You may be tired of hearing them, but ignoring them won't make it go away.
No Comments >Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'

The band can also be seen traveling through the Irish countryside in a train car ordering tea with "lots of sugar," being mobbed by fans, hanging out backstage and tinkering with songs in shabby hotel rooms. Jagger and Richards were in the midst of writing "Sittin' on a Fence" in one scene. That song wasn't formally recorded for another three months.
Although the band was still finding its musical footing at the time, Jagger's disdain for the pop music of his own youth provides a glimpse into what was to become of the band.
"Popular music wasn't a real thing at all," said Jagger. "It was very, very romantic" with lyrics "about things that don't really happen ... very few of them actually mean anything or have any relation to what people are doing. ... They were just about being unhappy because your girl had left you, or being happy because you just met somebody. That's all they were about about. The moon in June and the sky is blue, I love you."
Jagger also talked about 1960s society and how the times, they were a-changin'.
"In the last two or three years," he said, "young people have been -- this especially applies to America -- instead of just carrying on the way their parents told them to, they've started a big thing where they're anti-war and they love everybody and their sexual lives have become freer. The kids are looking for something else, some different moral value because they know they're gonna get all the things that were thought impossible 50 years ago. A whole sort of basis of society and values which were accepted could be changed, but it's up to them to carry on those ideals that they have instead of just falling into the same old routine that their parents have fallen into. So it's not until the people of 21 now reach the age of 75 -- those kids actually have to be grandfathers before the whole thing is changed."
In one of the most entertaining parts of the film, Jagger and Richards sing the tunes of their rivals -- The Beatles' "Eight Days a Week" and "I've Just Seen a Face." Jagger also does an impressive Elvis Presley impersonation.
What they wanted to be when they grew up
Toward the end of the film, some of the band mates talked about their post-rock 'n roll life plans. Jones said he always wanted to be a filmmaker, Jagger considered going back to college, and Watts planned to go back to his former career as a graphic designer. But as it turned out, the Stones did not fade away.
Incidentally, the film's title is a reference to Watts.
"His was the personality that everyone felt was the most endearing -- and cinematic," said Gochanour.
Gochanour also explained the differences between the 1965 and 2012 versions of "Charlie is My Darling." He said he tried to "give the audience a sense of what it was like to be at one of the shows when the band was just coming into their own. I was also trying to show the early effects of fame and notoriety -- and foreshadow the future."
Peter Whitehead's 35-minute 1965 version, on the other hand, is more of an exploration of the band mates' differing personalities.
Gochanour, however, retained the original title because of the film's cult status among Stones fans. He and Klein distinguished this new, 67-minute version by version by adding "Ireland 1965" to the name; thus the new release is formally titled "Charlie is My Darling: Ireland 1965."
As The Rolling Stones celebrate the half-century mark as a band, a rare look at its members when they hadn't yet hit the quarter-century mark as people really puts their resonating success in perspective.
At one point, the interviewer asked Jagger what the secret to his success was.
"There isn't any secret," he said. "It's all very obvious."

WAPAKONETA - Throughout the day Friday, those involved with the Children's Hometown Holiday helped to construct the opening highlight of the event, the ice skating rink. Children were able to enjoy an evening on the rink Friday with the fun continuing today until 3 p.m. Elaine Poppe, chair of Children's Hometown Holiday, said that there used to be ice skating in and near Wapakoneta, but due to unsafe ice it hasn't been possible in recent years.
Wapakoneta resident Mike Barbee has been doing construction his whole life. In high school he made money by working on patios and landscape and helping his dad work around the house. Barbee, who grew up in southeastern Ohio, said he has been using tools his whole life. "We were one of those families that never hired anyone to fix things around the house," he said. "We did it ourselves."
With any luck from Mother Nature, the waters on Indian Lake will soon be solid enough for ice fishers to go have their fun. The first ice watch is in effect from Dec. 14 through Dec. 16 according to Scott Albrecht, owner of icefishohio.com.
Sports Editor
SHAWNEE — The Wapakoneta Redskins twice had to survive after surrendering two large leads, once in each half, but they led virtually the entire game and prevailed in the end.
The Redskins managed a 65-60 win Thursday over the Shawnee Indians in varsity girls basketball action, in the Western Buckeye League opener for both teams.
Wapak's final points of the third period at 1:19 gave the team a game-high 19-point lead, 51-32.
A company formerly located in Wapakoneta has been recognized for its technological advancements in numerous industries in the United States with a book dedicated to its history. "Superior — Land, Sea, Air, and Space" summarizes the past 79 years of Superior Tube Company, Inc., and much of the book gives credit to the Wapakoneta plant previously located on South Willipie Street for its legacy with the company.
Auglaize County Sheriff Al Solomon, in conjunction with the Wapakoneta and St. Marys police departments, released an advisory concerning a posting on a local Facebook page. The Facebook page is for posting items for sale in an online format called "Rummage Sale." Yesterday morning the three agencies started receiving complaints from residents concerning a posting on the Rummage Sale page of prescription medications for sale.
Coming home to a meal on the table or ready to be put in the oven can be a real treat, especially during the chaotic holiday season with parties, sporting events and everyday life to consider. Instead of resorting to frozen dinners or the drive-thru line, Kim Lee presents another option. Lee has made her services as a personal kitchen assistant available. Lee's daytime gig is as the cook at LouAnne's TeaSpot. Lee is known for her healthy luncheons and high teas as well as her scrumptious desserts, all made with the freshest ingredients.
Mary Ellen Cardone, 89, formerly of Lima and Wapakoneta area, died at 9:23 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 28, 2013, at St. Thomas Midtown Hospital, Nashville, Tenn. She was born Dec. 18, 1923, in Wapakoneta, to Leroy and Pauline (Neidemire) Wellington, who preceded her in death. Her mother died when she was five and her brother Clarence was three. They lived with her grandmother until she was about fourteen when she, her father and her brother moved out and she kept house for them.
James M. Doorley, 93, of Wapakoneta, died at 3:15 a.m., Sunday, Dec. 1, 2013, at The Gardens of Wapakoneta, where he had resided for the past year. He was born April 20, 1920, in Auglaize County, the son of Michael & Anna (Brands) Doorley, who preceded him in death. On April 14, 1948, he married Alberta R. "Betty" Fisher, and she survives.
Gene E. Howell, 73, died at 1:25 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013, at his residence in Waynesfield. He was born June 12, 1940, in Clay Township, Auglaize County to Jack & Hazel (Scott) Howell, and they preceded him in death.

Regardless of its authenticity (if such a thing can be said to exist) the magic of the piece relies on the juxtaposition of the original falsobordone written by Allegri with the ornaments or abbellimenti added in the solo writing and the plangent tones of the plainsong verses (sung to the chant Tonus Peregrinus which is quoted in the topmost voice of Allegris original). The biggest debate rages about the famous high C. It can be said with some certainty that a composer of Allegris generation and education would be highly unlikely to write the ungainly interval of an augmented fourth in the bass part in the solo section. Yet only with this interval does the top C become possible and the top C is now the sine qua non for the listener! Contemporary taste and bravura must have played a part in the ornaments that singers chose to use when improvising in the Papal Chapel and the ornaments heard by the young Mozart could have been a world away from the version sung by Allegris own choir in the early seventeenth century. Perhaps they found a way of embellishing up to top C without the unacceptable harmonic shift, a shift which although breaking the rules sounds to our modern ears unremarkable.

Who Tells America What's Safe To Eat? Pink Slime Story Sheds Light on Social Media's Role
Tags: america, ammonia, average, beef, BLBT, boneless, charts, facts, GRAS, Jamie Oliver, lean, meat, pink slime, slimageddon, trimmings, usda, videos, views, youtube
Have you heard the term "pink slime" recently? Chances are you've seen it mentioned on TV or Facebook or maybe in discussions with friends. But here's a question: How much were you talking about pink slime a year ago? Most likely you had never heard the term "pink slime" a year ago and chances are that you won't be talking about it a year from now. This current food safety trend (which isn't even a food safety story as no one has been harmed by eating it) has exploded in recent weeks. This is due to the … READ MORE

Hey Chicken Tender here and I thought I would share a few pictures of some of my friends from the Backyard Chicken Coop.
The pictures below are just some of the other chickens that Jeff has. He had just let them out of the coop to enjoy the evening scratching for some grain that he just scattered out on the ground. This is my favorite part of the day… Out of the Chicken Coop where I feel free to strut my feathers.
The hot speckled chick in the lower middle of the picture all by her self is Tilly. Tilly is a 4 year old Speckled Sussex that I have been crowing for ever since I first set my eyes on her. What a chick!
I have to keep my eye on the big black fellow in the bottom left picture… that's Big Black. he is a Jersey Giant crossed with an Ameraucana chicken, which is called an easter egg chicken that lays shades of blue, green, and pink eggs. He takes after his Pa and just kept on a growing. The Standard weights of a Jersey Black Giant at maturity are males-13 lbs. and hens-10 lbs, but they grow kind of slow. The hens do lay nice big brown eggs though, and are good looking chicks.
The other guy on the right of Tilly is Wyant. He is a Silver Laced Wyandotte…Wyant and I get a long much better. Wyandottes are a nice docile chicken and the hens are a very good layer of brown eggs.
Now the big fellow down below they call him Jake. He isn't really part of the Chicken flock as you really should not raise Chickens and Turkeys in the same coop because of diseases. Jake is a Narragansett Turkey. He thinks he is pretty good looking because he is always strutting around, Gobbling, and drumming his wings for his mate. The pattern of the Narragansett turkey is similar to the Bronze, but bronze is replaced with steel gray and the brown in the tail is a lighter tan. The gray has a slightly golden or brown tint. . . . My preference for the Narragansett is based mostly on a calm disposition and size. Calm and not to big
The nice looking building right next to Jake is his coop. My chicken coop is just like it only we have a little bigger chicken run attached to our 8 X 10 shed that Jeff built in just a day. We enjoy the wild grapevines growing over the top of the building as it gives us nice shade during the hot summer days. Jeff comes out and trims them back every year so they do not grow to wild and spoil the view of looking at the nice variety of day lillies that he planted just outside the coops.
Well thanks for stopping by the Backyard Chicken Coop. I will be sharing some more great tips on how you can get the most enjoyment out of raising chickens!

Okay, so I'm ALMOST fully raw, just I CANNOT let go of my soy milk! I'm afraid that if I do, something might happen with my teeth. What foods are great for calcium?
Oranges, I peel them but leave a lot of pith on them and blend them ... plenty of calcium in orange pith : )
Oranges rock when it comes to calcium! The other day, I ate 8 oranges and my calcium shot up from 20% to like 50%!
I concur with oranges.
Kale and sesame seeds are high in oxalate which inhibits the body's ability to absorb and assimilate calcium as well as causes a multitude of other health problems.
Peace, PK
@Benas A,
I am not much familiar with Dr. Cousens, so I cannot comment on this person's teachings specifically. However, I will comment on experiences of 30BaDers eating RAW cruciferous veggies like kale and spinach, and the problems with high oxalate foods. For people sensitive to oxalate and kidney patients, spinach, kale, rhubard, and nuts are at the top of the list of foods to avoid.
Study after study has shown that high oxalate containing foods prevent calcium absorption in the body. It starts in the stomach. If there is any calcium in these foods, it tends to bind with the oxalate in the intestines and is one way the body protects itself from absorbing oxalate into the blood and or a kidney stone prevention mechanism.
Therefore, even though calcium is consumed, it is of little value to the individual regarding bone and tissue health.
There are several problems with promoting foods like spinach. First of all, many of our members here @30BaD have had the following problems eating spinach, kale, and other cruciferous veggies: Symptoms include burning mouth and throat during consumption, sour stomach, stomach pains, diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, acne and skin eruptions, possible hair thinning and loss, blood in stools, high uric acid levels, arthritis, kidney stones and kidney problems, urinary pain and or problems, and slowed digestion which makes it difficult to eat enough calories during the day.
These links might be of interest:
Oxalates also interfere with iron absorption promoting anemia with spinach again being at the top of the list along with kale, beets, and nuts.
From a personal point of view, I cannot eat the cruciferous and high oxalate foods because they cause severe pain in my bum kidney and bladder:( I have already damaged my kidney because of some SAD bad habits, and may be that encourages me more to promote natural health maintenance in individuals and being proactive about health rather than waiting for problems to occur.
Peace, PK
Apparently (according to what some say on this community; I'm not an expert myself or anything, so I could be wrong here), you don't actually need as much calcium as the mainstream nutrition "experts" recommend, particularly when following 80/10/10. Grains (and meat?) are acid-forming, and to digest them the body has to draw calcium, which is the best alkaline, from the body. So when eating these types of foods, calcium needs go up. And, like Brooke said, if you eat enough calories, you get at least 60% of the recommended amount anyway.
DO NOT TAKE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS. In a recent study that I read (sorry, don't ask me the name of it, because I can't recall, but you could probably look it up), women who take calcium supplements, as opposed to those who did not, were much more prone to cardiovascular problems and breast cancer:
There are similar articles like this, but I don't have the link to the actual study, unfortunately.
I concur on the calcium supplements. Is it not ironic that we take calcium to grow bone, and then we end up growing bones in places it does not belong such as kidney stone formation?
Just trying to be funny, but it is true:D
Peace, PK
Most raw fruits and leafy greens have some calcium with oranges and romaine lettuce having some of the higher amounts.
According to conventional medicine, our calcium requirements are on average about 1000 mg a day.(Ref here)
The humble orange is very high in calcium, and eating a mono meal of about 13 oranges provides our calcium requirements as well as about 1100 calories! On top of that there are many other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that are good for us like vitamin C. (Ref here)
Now if you are concerned about bone health, calcium is not the only important mineral we need. Without vitamin D, phosphorus, and magnesium, calcium may not be very effective. Read more on the importance of lettuce greens and minerals here:
Now, the cons of soy products and processed milk, soy belongs to the family of starchy foods which may cause some health problems long term and or interfere with weight and fitness goals:
Starchy Foods vs Fruit n Lettuce
And, soy products may be high in oxalate which also causes some health problems including inhibition of the body's ability to absorb and assimilate calcium!
So, just do what the monkeys do, eat low fat raw fruits and tender greens.
Peace, PK
Papayas, figs, pineapples: high in calcium while not going overboard with the phosphorus = profit.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
A Look At Elected Cudahy Governmental Ideologies
If hindsight has 20/20 vision forethought is like a hawks with 20/2 vision!
Odds and Ends!
Some people have claimed it was a shock that I was running for alderman. I have taken all of this with great thought and anyone that has been reading the blog since 2010 knew I would be running for Alderman in 2013 as I talked about it in many blog posts.
When You Open The Door Do They Have A Mask On?
During this election season, when people come to your door, are they being genuine, open and honest or are they wearing a mask as if it is Halloween and hiding who they truly are?
Cudahy's Undiagnosed or Misdiagnosed Business Conditions
I am told that people get it, Cudahy has a development problem, and they know Mayor Day has done very little if anything to address it let alone fix it!
Common Council Meeting Today
Further below is the meeting agenda. As you all look at, notice Mayor Day is going to give updates to Packard Plaza. So do you think if I didn't make this a big point and it wasn't an election year he would be talking about it?
Let's Talk Some More on the Dysfunctional City of Cudahy
I have talked about that development is a major issue in Cudahy and that our different segments of City Government pertaining to it are not on the same page, no check that, not even in the same book. It is dysfunctional and with dysfunctional things it is spreading to other things. It spreads like cancer.
Let's Talk About Hiding Something in Plain Sight
So if you travel to the Cudahy Economic Development site you will see this:
Cudahy Info and Rumors
So it is that time again that we find ourselves with a City that just doesn't want to get information to the public! It makes me think that underhanded things happen and are happening. This leads us to have to fish for information and lets rumors fly. Well you know I will air them out and let things fall where they may. Flush them out and bring light to them in a city so bent on keep people in the dark which keeps the rumor mill working overtime.
Here Is a Typical Reason What Is Wrong In Cudahy
Listen up Mayor Day, Alderpersons and the Head of the
Congratulations Tony Day & Others
I just wanted to give my Congratulations to Tony Day Cudahy's next Mayor. His official first day is
Cudahy District 2 Alderman Candidate John Cummings III Info
