Recovering caring relationshipsAs a child, I grew up in a small farming village in South Korea, far from any urban city. My parents were peasants who struggled to make ends meet with six children. As tenant farmers, they labored long hours without adequate compensation. They toiled arduously to feed my siblings and me but they did not have the time or resources to provide us the attention and nurturing we needed. My parents did not receive any formal education, and they did not see the value of education in the midst of their life of daily hard labor. I was never encouraged to study or work hard to achieve academic excellence. After school, I did not worry about doing my homework and just played outside until late at night or helped my parents in the rice fields. Mountains and creeks were my playgrounds, and wild animals were my only playmates. Because I did not study or complete my homework, my grades were below average and no attention was given to me by any of my teachers. In my rural elementary school, being the second smallest child in the whole class, I was always assigned a seat in the first row and the taller students sat in rows behind me. One day I was sitting in my fourth-grade class crowded, with 55 students, and watching my teacher, Lim Chang-ho, teach a subject in front of the class. To me, a small boy, Mr. Lim appeared to be the tallest person I had ever seen. He was over six feet tall and was handsome in a fancy suit. He was known by everyone for his kind smile and gentle manner. In the middle of teaching, Mr. Lim dropped his blackboard eraser. Since he was so tall, it took him more effort to reach down and pick it up. Reflexively, I quickly picked it up for him because it was easier for me since I was small. Mr. Lim immediately recognized my assistance, and he responded by giving me his trademark gentle smile. From that moment on, I began picking up erasers and cleaning the blackboard for Mr. Lim. I was cognizant of his acknowledgment and praise, which I had never received before from teachers who usually only recognized children from rich families, students who acted as class presidents or vice presidents or students with excellent academic performances. Several weeks later, when my classmates were not listening to the teacher and were making noise at the back of the room, I turned around and shouted, ``Be quiet!" My classmates knew that Mr. Lim was too gentle to resort to corporal punishment. I realized that reprimanding the other students was a class president or vice president's responsibility, not mine. I worried that the teacher would correct my presumptuous behavior and tell me not to disturb the whole class. But I was wrong. Instead Mr. Lim smiled at me and appointed me as a ``section leader," a position he created at that moment for me. He asked me to take a charge of my row. I did not shout at my classmates again, but I felt pride in myself for being appointed to the position and for receiving recognition from the teacher. Mr. Lim gave his full attention not only to me but also to all the students in his care. He was truly a good teacher and a person with character and integrity. But even more importantly, I remember him as a special person who recognized my potential and helped me see for the first time my own potential and value. Both positive and negative behavior of mine was responded to with understanding, acknowledgment, and encouragement. He was the first teacher who attempted to relate to and accept my true self even though I was undistinguished. Before then, I was neither motivated to study nor go to school. My frequent lateness and truancy were commented on in my report cards. Mr. Lim's intervention rekindled my hidden potential and awoke my desire for recognition and bolstered my self-esteem. My life that had once felt like a conundrum full of deadlocks, questions, wariness, and a dispirited mind had been touched by someone who opened the door and led me to a new self. I no longer saw myself as a small, shabby, and despondent boy but as a respected and valued person. This elevated self-esteem and self-worthiness allowed me to bravely face challenges and think about things more positively. Many years later, I became the first person in my entire extended family that went to college although my parents objected, and I challenged myself to come to New York to earn my master's in social work. I currently work two full-time jobs while pursuing my doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania. I believe Mr. Lim's intervention into my behavior ignited the light that led to my current success. Research proves that caring teachers impact students' ability to connect with school and learning. Speaking on the school violence and bullying issues in South Korea, I argue that we must establish caring relationships between teachers and their students. Please keep in mind that we all thrive on positive relationships.

Beekeepers Dr Paul Sibbons and Geoff Creek with their hives at Bayer CropScience's site in Chishill
Friday, October 5, 2012
OVER 60,000 bees have caused a buzz by returning to hives in Crow country after a two-year absence.
The bees are being kept in two hives on Bayer CropScience's developmental farm at Chishill. Hives had been present on the 20-hectare site for more than a decade, but were dismantled two years ago after the beekeper retired.
Now a team of local bee enthusiasts, Professor Paul Sibbons, Dr Tahera Ansari, and Geoff and Tina Creek have agreed to look after the new colonies.
"It's a great location for bees," said Prof Sibbons.
"They will have year-round foraging with all the fruit crops, arable crops and wild strips.
The farm is used to test and develop new and existing products, and Bayer CropScience maintains a plum orchard on the site. This will provide the basis of the bees diet, along with other plants such as wild clover, willow, brambles, and ivy. This year the farm is including beans in the crop rotation, which will extend the range of foraging opportunities available to the bees.
"Like all forms of livestock, bee-keeping is a form of husbandry," said Prof Sibbons, an experienced beekeeper with hives in several locations, including Duxford and Burwell.
"With bees it's the number of frames they occupy, the quality of the wax, the total population, the numbers at different growth stages and the different types of bees – workers, foragers, cleaners and guard bees – that indicate the health of the hive."
The first crop of honey from the farm should be ready for harvest next summer. If successful, Professor Sibbons hopes to establish up to six colonies on the site in the next few years.

Just as Tali and Cole's lives become increasingly perfect a series of events happen within a short space of time. Out of these enormous trials facing Tali, a friendship grows unexpectedly with surprising results. Tali has to get strength from her family, her friends and colleagues, but mostly she has to rely on God.
Book Video:
Standing in front of the elevator doors, Number One is the winner today. Well done Number One, I say to myself in a Japanese accent. I laugh out loud as I stare at the doors, wondering what it will be like when the cartoons are up. The elevator stops, and I take a deep breath before walking out and into the marketing office. Josh, Greg and Brett are looking at a huge board covered in cartoons. They're all laughing so I guess Josh approves of their work. 'Hey Tali, this is awesome, I can't believe you came up with this,' Brett says, lifting the board so I can see which one they've finally agreed on. 'Oh so much for the secrecy, thanks Josh.' I look at him and from the look on his face I can see he knows I'm displeased. 'I'm sorry Tali, it was a slip of the tongue, but credit must be given where it's due, you know,' he adds sheepishly. 'So you've decided on this one then?' I say, turning my focus to the board and ignoring Josh's last statement. I pick up the board, happy to see that they've agreed on my first choice. 'I must admit, it's pretty amusing. Well done you guys. Think this must be a first in any building ever. Maybe you should patent the rights to it, Josh? You could become famous one day.' I smile at him thinking that perhaps I shouldn't always be so sarcastic. 'And if I do, don't think you'll be getting any royalties,' he smirks. I tell Greg and Brett again it's a great effort and then leave. 'You should see the cartoon for the elevator doors, it's actually quite brilliant,' I say to Sondra and Cheri as I walk back into the office, 'should be up in about a week's time.' 'Maybe you'll get a raise, as it is your idea!' Cheri says absentmindedly.

On me, this fragrance started out very strong and flowery. I was waiting to for it to calm down, kind of mellow out but after 3 hours it was gone. Or it calmed to super soft, but I had no hint of it at all. I gave it away to a coworker. But I had her put some on and try it for a while. She loved it.

Jasmine Pearls
Green Tea by Four O'Clock Organic
Surrounded by mysticism and mystery, this tea, also named "Dragon Pearl", is made from tender green tea leaves from Fujian's misty mountains. Seven nights in a row, fresh jasmine flovers are layered on top of the tea leaves. The flowers are then removed and the leaves are rolled into small pearls, thus their unique shape.
A clear infusion, this tea has very intense and enticing floral notes. Once water is added, gaze as the small pearls majestically unfurl and deliver their unique perfume.

Hello Sophia:)! First I'd like welcome You between photosigers and I hope that watching the photos, reading crits and learning from other users You'll start to make better photos:)! First I can suggest You is to read user's manual of Your camera, it has many possibilities to take very good and creative photos:)! Second - in internet and many books You can find many basic and simple informations about light, composition, shutter speed, f-stop as well as about optic. It's really necessary in photography:)! And about this photo... object and its placement show that You have quite interesting ideas. But believe me - this camera could "works" better inf the frame in more diagonal position, when lines and shapes will be very scarp. You used wide angle of lens and close distance from object so You reached strong deformations of object. Better way is to take photo using zoom from standing position. Light on the right top quarter of lens is too strong, rings are overlighted - exposure should be measured on brighter parts of object. I wrote especially in this "mysterious" form cause I hope I'll motivate You to looking for more infos about taking photos:)! Rgds, Artur

ESPN.com: Bell | [Print without images] |
Now we understand why Manning will be out "awhile," as Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted earlier.
For now, there's still a chance that Peyton Manning could return to action this season. |
The Colts announced that quarterback Peyton Manning underwent further neck surgery Thursday, specifically a single-level anterior fusion. According to an official statement released by the team, there is no estimation of a return date, and the team will keep Manning on the active roster until it has "a clearer picture of the recovery process."
Exactly what procedure did Manning undergo? Often referred to with the acronym ACDF, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, the surgical procedure typically involves removal of the problem disc material, implantation of a bone graft as a spacer (filling in where the disc used to be) between the two vertebrae and placement of a metal plate over the area to secure the fusion. It is called anterior because the incision is made in the front of the neck to access the spine. Advances in surgery have allowed the incision to become smaller with less trauma to the surrounding tissue.
Rehabilitation focuses on strengthening of the stabilizing muscles that support the spine along with cardiovascular exercise, range of motion for the areas above and below the fusion, and gradual progressive return to activity. Key to offloading stress from the fused segment is maintaining good mobility in other areas of the spine along with strength of the postural muscles that provide stability. As the bone healing progresses and the athlete demonstrates increased endurance, more activity is allowed.
Although the team is understandably not issuing a specific timetable for Manning's return, there is every reason to believe that he can and will return successfully -- this year or next -- after this procedure. The typical recovery time for an athlete is often two to three months, but it can be longer based on the individual and how involved the nerve compromise was. The Colts will want to see that Manning's strength has returned completely and that the fusion has healed satisfactorily before he returns to competitive play.
Dr. Joseph Maroon, who is vice chairman and professor of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, as well as team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers and medical director for the WWE, has extensive experience with these types of surgeries in this population of athletes. Maroon has performed this ACDF on at least 10 professional football players and wrestlers, all of whom returned to competition. Examples include wrestler John Cena, who returned to the ring within two months after surgery, as well as former NFL players Ruben Brown and Mike Alstott, who both played for several years after their surgeries. In an interesting note, cornerback Kelvin Hayden, recently signed by the Atlanta Falcons after spending the past six seasons with the Colts, underwent a similar procedure in the offseason. Hayden had to pass the Falcons' physical to join the team, and as he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "My neck is fine. It's something that everybody was questioning. I'm just glad the Atlanta Falcons gave me an opportunity. I'm just excited to get out there and have some fun. I want to show that I can still play."
Maroon called this single-level fusion procedure "career-saving" for such athletes. Although some experienced additional neck problems down the line, they were able to extend their playing careers after surgery and intensive rehabilitation. Maroon expects Manning to be able to return without limitation as well, whenever that may be.
It only makes sense that Manning's neck, now subject to a third surgical procedure, may be an issue for him somewhere down the road. Just as many athletes undergo multiple knee or shoulder surgeries and are later forced to deal with residual degenerative changes and the discomfort that goes with it, Manning may be in line for some aches and pains later in life. After all, most football players carry such "reminders" of their former profession into their post-career years. For now, though, Manning's focus will be on recovery and return to work, something he will be only too happy to get back to doing.

After two wartime tours of Iraq, Alex Brown couldn't shut off his alert switch.
"My job as a gunner was to literally see everything," says the former Army specialist. "Not only my life, but my team's life depended on it."
Yet back home in Louisville, Ky., the constant tension honed in combat left him anxious and jumpy – and afraid to venture beyond secure walls. His relationships crumbled in the wake of his post-traumatic stress disorder.

Born without arms, Abe Harris, 35, learned to write and eat with artificial limbs, but sometimes found they got in his way – so, when he learned to drive at age 16 without them, he put them away.
"They were more something between me and what I was trying to do," Harris says.
By 2011, Harris, an art teacher and a soccer coach, had a 3-year-old daughter who happened to be learning to ride a bike.

Back in 1987, Oral Lee Brown, an Oakland, Calif., realtor, made a seemingly crazy decision.
She decided to offer 23 first-grade children at Brookfield Elementary School a full-ride to college with no realistic expectations that they would even graduate from high school.
In a school district with a 54 percent high school graduation rate, Browns' kids are beating the odds. Out of that first group of 23, 19 graduated from high school and enrolled in college.
"They didn't want to fail me," she says of their success. "I believe love can turn anything around."

Bao Tran still remembers an old man shuffling onto the bridge to hand him a tiny bundle tucked into a straw hat.
It was May 1972 and Tran was in the South Vietnamese Army fighting alongside the Americans. His company was about to blow up the bridge outside Quang Tri.
"The man said the baby was trying to nurse on its dead mother," Tran, now 65, recalls.
He carried the baby in that hat for 60 miles – "I was in full combat gear, with explosions all around," he says – to an orphanage, where he left her with the name he'd planned for his own daughter someday: Ngoc Bich.

There are days when former Marine Sergeant Andrew Litz can't bear the sounds of his two young children playing in their two-bedroom apartment in suburban Dallas, when his wife, Heather, reminds them that Daddy's head hurts.
But on this October afternoon, the sturdy, intense former soldier is imagining a new life: one of calm connection with his family.
Standing in the yard of the brand-new home in Gunter, Texas, that will soon be theirs, he smiles. "This," he says quietly, "is a place where I can heal."

But the former Wall Street analyst's decision to take over the failing business in 2009 and save the jobs of its 14 part-time employees – most of whom were recovering drug addicts or ex-convicts – had little to do with dollars or cents.
"I fell in love with its mission: to give people a second chance," says Stoloff, 53.

Beloved teacher Michael Landsberry, a former Marine, died a hero at Sparks Middle School in Nevada on Monday in another tragic campus shooting.
The 45-year-old was killed while trying to talk to the unidentified 12-year-old gunman (who later killed himself).
"He was telling him to stop and put the gun down," student Jose Cazares told Today on Tuesday. "Then the kid, he yelled out, 'No!' Like, he was yelling at him, and he shot him. [The teacher] was calm, he was holding out his hand like, 'Put the gun in my hand.' "
Students, parents and fellow teachers are calling Landsberry's actions heroic. Tom Robinson, deputy chief with the Reno Police Department, also praised him, saying, "In my estimation, he is a hero. We do know he was trying to intervene."

When wounded veterans get together on the baseball field with kids who are living with amputations, they don't just learn about fielding and hitting – they also learn about courage in life.
A few weeks ago, 12-year-old Nicholas Knotts was playing softball at his junior high in Oxford, Mich., when he heard one of the kids in the outfield snicker, "Easy out," just as he stepped up to bat. Born without a fibula, Knotts's left foot was amputated when he was 10 months old, and as he stood there waiting for the pitch, he watched as the opposing team members moved in close, confident that the seventh grader with the prosthetic foot couldn't hit.
"I popped it over all their heads for a single," laughs Knotts. "That felt really good."

Rebecca Welsh was volunteering in orphanages in Honduras in 2002 when she had an eye-opening encounter with a child living on the streets.
"A 6-year-old little girl stopped me and begged me for water," she says. "She traveled in a pack of about 10 children and was the youngest in the group."
She soon found out the children, who couldn't get shelter in the city's overflowing orphanages, slept on cardboard boxes at night and dug through trash to find their next meal.
"I just couldn't believe that was going on and I'd never even heard of it," she says.

Still 30 min. away but the intoxicating aroma of chipotle garlic cheddar popcorn hangs heavy in the air.The buzz of the blender...The charlar of friends...The whine of the lefties...Life is good.
Please pray for Mitt right now and all through the debate.
Popcorn popped... Lets GET IT ON
Holy Spirit, be with Governor Romney this evening. Inspire his thoughts and words as only You can, for the fate of our republic rests on this good man's shoulders. This we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
Amen now let's roast Obama!
I ate my popcorn early because everytime I see The Won's face, I wretch. I don't want to ruin the enjoyment of the snack. Go Mitt!
He spent 20 seconds thanking people.. C'mon mitt! Short and sweet..
The moderator is a sour puss.
No debate thread?
Ohh sweet burn... Romney got a good one with the bankruptcy.. This is gonna be a good debate.
Direct question - do you support your energy secretary's comments that lowering gas prices is not part of your policy... great question, Obama avoiding direct answer. His energy sec. is part of the problem. Gov Romney: let's look at the policies.. yes! Oil production down on federal land. Why? Cut in half the # of licenses and permits. Mitt's totally winning on this answer.
Obama is a liar.
Answer romneys question muppet!! He's avoiding it...
Romney's kicking behind on energy. I hope he brings up the latest Obama failure - that electric car battery factory that's going belly up.
I would love to be in that "same mess" if it meant gas would go back to $1.87 a gallon!
Candy Moo-cow is losing control
Romney is being a tad rude when he interrupts the moderator but Obama is getting roasted!
No prob with Romney being a tad rude. He cut her off when he had to and if she's not going to play by the rules why should he? I smell a MAJOR rout here. O is struggling.
Actually, Obama has raised taxes on middle class and lower-income earners. Next year, flexible spending account deductions are limited to $5,000. And the health care deduction is raised from 7.5% to 10%. This really hurts people who don't make that much and may well exceed the 7.5% limit.
More than predictably, Boss Hogg Crowley has twice stopped Romney from replying to lies by Obama. Obama was so emboldened that he tried interrupting and talking over Mitt himself. Mitt effectively told him to shut up, sit down, and wait his turn. Obama did.
I meant to say that flexible spending accounts are limited to $2,500--formerly $5,000. This is another tax increase on the middle class.
@tangerine dreamGood point! She isn't being strict with the times or anything. And Obama is straight up lying to us now...
But at the end of the day Obama is still "black."
The moderator so far is letting Obama rebut every time he wants to, but Romney gets cut off. Every time Romney lands one, she turns to Obama and says, Oh, Really, is is True??? She doesn't do that the other way around. I truly wonder if she knows this is not fair.
He did mention what he wants to do--limit deductions. How does Obama plan to balance the budget, by the way? He can't even pass a budget.
Candy cuts Romney off and won't let him respond but, she sure lets obama go on and on. Mitt should just punch him out and be done with it.
Crowley's a disgrace
Romney is hitting hard on Obama's fiscal policies--or lack thereof. But now Crowley is cutting him off!
Obama is black and everyone kisses up to him because of it... Where would all this be if Obama was white? He wouldn't have made the primaries I *guarantee* that
And now a softball to Obama--about equality in the workplace.
Yay Mitt! Candy keeps holding Romney to the rule but letting Obama just wander all over. But Romney knows so much he can get through anyway. Gotta be a genius.
How has the federal loan program made college more affordable? Students are just as much in debt as when the banks made the loans.
I don't know if I can watch much longer.Mitt should say Who are you ? Where have you been for the last four years ?I do not like the moderator.
Apparently this is the defacto debate thread. Thanks for the replies. I'm too nervous to watch.
Romney has such good,factually backed, solid answers but everyone seems to have their head up their butt if they will re-elect Obama
Iirc, Obama doesn't pay women on his staff at the same rate as men. It's less. So much for his version of equality.
What the heck is the Lily Ledbetter law? What does contraception have to do with pay equality?
I agree #24, it would the same as as a judge asking one party or the other at trial, "Are you okay with what your opponent just said?" "Don't you want to defend yourself?"--And Candy Crowley is nowhere near being a judge.
Barky gets the last word every time.It's a liberal thing.Gives the appearance of 'winning'.
Barry's playing the contraceptive/healthcare card....pandering to the max ..
again Obama gets to rebut just where he was struck hard. Romney never gets that. Moderator moves on, or tells him he'll get time in the future, or rephrases the question. Yet I think she is doing her best and is so biased she does not know this is not fair. Again and again.
I'm watching on CNN (yeah, I know...) but they have a meter gauging the immediate response of "Undecided Voters"... Romney is scoring well with women.
This questioner looks like a liberal--and she's bringing up Bush.
So close! She almost stopped Obama when the time was up... But then she let him finish.... Bias much?
Mitt drawing a bright line between his economic plan & Bush's....threading the needle nicely along with a jab @ 0bama
She's providing some Affirmative Action to Obama ...
Oh that was a burn... Obama doubled the deficit! True though, he says one thing and does another. Politician much?
I knew candy would lean way left to help barry. She is a hack. Any foreign policy questions?
Obama keeps saying all that he wants to do - he's had 4 years, why hasn't he done it?
What has Obama done to stand up to China?
Romney looks strong and serious about getting the job done for us. obama has looked (and acted) like 7th grade, imho.And now he's lecturing, imho.
Reduced taxes on the middle class and business? What about Obamacare? SCOTUS says it is a tax, didn't they?
Thanks #42 I switched to see and obama has gotten more speaking time but, I bet he will claim he didn't but, it's right there on the screen.
Yes and I have desert land in Key West for sale too!!!
Oh yes, there it is. Bin Laden is dead. Can't let that go unsaid. Again.
Dumb question from the bald guy elicits Barry's patented stump speech of prevarications. 0bama's got nothing but sound bites.
Now a black voter asks a question--to Obama. A lot of "us" are struggling? He isn't. Now he wants credit for trying. This question was teed-up, no doubt.
Obama has created 5m jobs????/ Maybe in China or India.
Obviously several questioners are New York liberals pretending to be undecideds. But Romney is still winning, going away.
Obama has already racked up an additional 5 minutes more time than Gov. Romney.Nice job, Candy. /s off/
Thank you God for giving Mitt a mighty brain. He has so much to deal with, but he can. Not losing his temper and not losing the argument either.
Good response by Romney. If Obama is re-elected we'll get another four years like the last four (in spades, Mrs. Berg added from the other chair).
Romney goes into a rather well articulated litany of 0bamafailures including 0bamacare and then calls him on the lie about "creating jobs" and then on to food stamps... Mitt is shooting lame ducks in a barrel
Romney is presenting solid policies which actually address the fiscal disasters which have been created by 0bama's radical lefty statist policiesthroughout the past 4 years. In response, 0bama just repeats his same old failed ideas. He has no logical excuses for the horrible results of his agenda but insists he plans to continue those same already failed policies.0bama repeatedly proclaims, (-deems?!), he wants his BIG Government, ''to control,'' energy!?!! This guy does not understand the blessings of America's free enterprise system, nor doe he respect the innovations for the future and JOBS capitalism provides! 0bama thinks ONLY government should be, ''in control?!'' -YIKES!!
Mitt's answer in progress right now is his best so far. A clear win on this exchange.
This is a ridiculous bias!! Crowley get it together!
Barry sure is blinking his eyes a lot. About once a second.
Mitt is doing great with questions concerning pet liberal issues. This cow better not let the clock run out w/o the foreign policy questions getting in.
Mitt's answer on immigration is also very sensible.
Romney is smarter. Much. I think Obama is beginning to wear down and stumble. Do others think so? He's just becoming shrill and insistent and saying nothing new.
Mitt's answers are easy to understand. They come from his heart, mind and soul. obama is halting and he speaks in circles...like he really doesn't know what he's saying, imho.No contest.
Can kenyans self-deport?
Candy just might cancel the foreign policy segment. Why not it serves the "greater good" to fix this debate on Barry's behalf.
Obama is interrupting--he sounds like a petulant school kid.
Barry's getting schooled again.
That cow keeps screwing over Romney...
When is there going to be a foreign policy question? O is filibustering. This next question is on Libya.
Mitt is pointing out that 0bama does not keep his promises regarding immigration reform. 0bama's entire rhetoric is punctuated with such lies about the actual results of his policies.
Unbelievable. President interrupts, moderator lets him. Romney wants the rest of his time without interruption, moderator points to people waiting to talk and hurries Romney. Then Obama gets to stand up and make a peroration off topic.
FINALLY..... some foreign policy!!!!
That's because he is, #74. (But you already knew that.)
0bama doing the Libyan tap dance now....Mitt is drooling
Have you noticed that Candy has so much, uh, padding that she is 3 inches taller when she sits down?
Obama turned foreign policy into a campaign issue all through the last campaign. What a hypocrite.
No he is trying to score political point with his alleged national security successes! It's only off-limits for his opponents.
Romney is doing a stellar job under less than favorable circumstances.
#79 not only is Obama ROBBING him of time, he's not answering the questions... He did nothing about that ambassador and he's lying now
Pathetic answer on Libya by obama. UNACCEPTABLE ACTIONS AND STALLING BY THIS ADMINISTRATION.
Ya don't go off to Las Vegas on a politicalfund-raiser when there is a crisis either, 0bama!
Any foreign policy, or is candy going to cheat Romney until time runs out?
Obama's got four more minutes. Let him keep talking. His talk is cheap. Romney's saying more.
The guy asked why wasn't extra security provided.Obama never - NEVER - answered that question.And Romney is now pounding it. Good!
Be nice #83. This debate is going on 75 min. now and it's the longest she's gone without food in decades.
Romney is giving it right back to Obama on how a President should act in a crisis.
Strange.. why isn't Mitt bringing up that the administration claimed the attack in Benghazi was about the video??
He didn't say it was an act of terror the day after the attack! Two weeks later, he suggested at the UN it was the movie! He did, in fact, says Candy. Who is applauding? I thought the audience was non-partisan.
Got him Romney! He lied for two weeks about the assassination and now he's saying the very DAY after he knew it...
Ok.. he's now brought it up but it could have been clearer and more pointed. Many Bam heads are not aware.
A gun control question to Obama--this is so fixed.
Nicole wallace, mccain's debate coach, declared obama a winner BEFORE the debate. Guess she is still on the soros payroll.

Harley's Wide Glide dates back to the seventies. The new for 2010 bike retains the old-school low-rider looks of long, raked and wide-spaced forks (hence the name Wide Glide), skinny front wheel and minimalist bulk. But what makes the new bike far superior is it has modern handling and ride quality due to frame and suspension updates. The rest of ...
1584cc, 67bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
Another Harley staple aimed at riders with traditional tastes who are looking for a machine that's both comfortable and easy to handle. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider combines a low seat, mid-mounted foot controls and pull back bars for easy comfort. Like all 2007 Hogs it also benefits from the new 1558 engine, too.
1584cc, 65bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
Definitive Harley. If retro-style cruising is your thing, the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy has all the right bits in the right places, from the big Milwaukee V-twin motor to the characteristic disc wheels and even the badge on the tank. Not the most versatile or comfortable of Hogs, but the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy is almost certainly the best looking.

Be simple.
"To a novice: Be simple. Talk to everybody. Let your spirituality be seen in your simplicity."
-Mother Gabriel
Everywhere are people of God. You never know if the one you see today might tomorrow be a Saint.
Once when I was there where I was, some foreign missionary came and said to me, "You may be a good woman, but you're not a good Christian."
I said, "Why?"
"Because you have been here so long and you only go about speaking English. What local languages have you learned?"
I said to him, "I haven't managed to learn any of the local languages, because I travel a great deal from place to place. As soon as I learn one dialect, they start speaking another. I've only learned 'Good morning' and 'Good evening.' Nothing else."
"Bah, you're no Christian. How can you evangelize? All the Catholics and Protestants learn all the local dialects in order to …"
Then I said, "Lord, give me an answer for him." I asked it with all my heart, and then I said, "Ah. I forgot to tell you. I know five languages."
"Really? What are these five?"
"The first is the smile; the second is tears. The third is to touch. The fourth is prayer, and the fifth is love. With these five languages I go all around the world."
Then he stopped and said, "Just a minute. Say that again so I can write it down."
With these five languages you can travel the whole earth, and all the world is yours. Love everyone as your own — without concern for religion or race, without concern for anything.

Been working out for almost 3 years. I was wondering if there were more arm workouts/ideas i should know about to look forward and put more of a mass on. How many times per week? How many sets/reps? And etc..
Squats and deads. Heavy.Originally Posted by lund94
Your welcome.
Seriously. You don't need to isolate your arms. Get you squat, dead, and bench press up and your arms will grow. Have you ever seen someone who can squat and pull 500lbs and bench press 300 that have small arms? No. If you are strong on the big three you will be big all over.
Thanks! Lets see how it goes for the next couple of weeks.
As was mentioned about gaining overall mass will be most beneficial. Much of this will be related your diet as well. Do you know about how many calories you're getting in? Do you track calories, muscle girth and strength increases?
Yeah i was just about to reply on the thread asking about how much to take in for calories. How much should i eat?Originally Posted by diezel
Sum came up to approximately 3200. Ive been actually eating a lot recently. Quite a helpful calorie calculation system. Thanks! Lets see how this goes.Originally Posted by SLW2
10x10 German Volume Training once a week works for me.
Power lifter style right?Originally Posted by uvawahoowa
Hardcore Purus Labs {Rep}
Lift the fücking weight from the floor, or leave it on the ground. The thoughts are supposed to be daunting. The pain is meant to be tormenting.
Amongst all the above stuff I agree with I also love and u should try drop sets. Now THAT adds MASS!!
Good luck and eat! Eat! Eat!

If your not growing it's usually your edit increase calories by 500 make sure u get minimum 1gram protein xlbm
try bumping up volume ever so often. And like arnold did alot. dropsets and supersets, be creative
Sorry for the late update, i havent been on this forum for some time, but over the pass months I've gained a good amount of strength and mass. And im now currently deloading. But soon heading back do my bulking stage. Should i add a couple HIIT days to my workouts?Originally Posted by wrathchild281
I haven't read the whole thread but after a few posts wanted to say that squats will not make your arms grow.
Developing the squat can assist in arm development by creating a favorable flood of hormones and the base necessary to go heavier on other lifts.
You have to stimulate a specific muscle for it to grow.
Deadlifts too. Consider heavy barbell curls. Many people hunch over like a little old lady during curls because their back isn't strong enough to stand strong. At some point, this will be a limiting factor. You will eventually just crumple and your bicep development, where barbell curls are concerned, will be limited by a weak back.
Increasing upper back strength will in turn allow you to go heavier on barbell curls, allowing greater stimulus and growth.
Heavy compound lifts have been shown to give a testosterone boost too, so throwing in some arm work after heavy squat day can potentially lead to greater protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, assuming proper nutritional protocols are followed too.
To really build impressive biceps, you will need to hit them directly. Compound lifts should be in every routine, "functional" strength is awesome, but if you want thick, strong, wide biceps with a peak you will need to add to the indirect work provided by various pulls.
Heavy barbell curls, cable curls (constant tension), spider curls, reverse grip curls, hammer curls... hit them from different angles, weight and rep schemes.
What does your routine look like currently? It would be helpful to know before suggesting alterations.
IMO yes you should! HIIT is great for either bulking, cutting or recomping and is far superior to slow/low intensity cardio. 2-3 x a week is ideal and keep them no longer than 45-1hr. More than 3 times a week can be a bit much and hinder the amount of size u can retain and also pushing the hiit sessions past an hour can also do the same if overdone.
On top of it u can have alot more fun out of hiit related training. Cones and ladders on the field, Football, basketball, tennis, racquetball the options go on. Pick one and have fun. Also i wouldnt hit the HIIT preworkout or even lets say on ur heavier lifting days as ur primary focus should be lifting heavy weights.

High School/Blue Car Project Committee The Committee coordinates and staffs the High School/Blue Car Project, an innovative "preventive law" educational program for high school students. Volunteer lawyers go into high school classrooms to teach basic principles of contract, tort, insurance and consumer law. Originally conceived around the theme of buying a used blue Chevy (hence the name), the Blue Car Project provides an opportunity for practitioners to spend about an hour with high school students, providing them much needed practical information before they get behind the wheel of a car. The students are a captive and insightful audience and benefit from the information shared as well as from the opportunity of interacting with attorney volunteers. |

Mr. Sabin and his niece had finished their dinner, and were lingering a little over an unusually luxurious dessert. Wolfenden had sent some muscatel grapes and peaches from the forcing houses at Deringham Hall—such peaches as Covent Garden could scarcely match, and certainly not excel. Mr. Sabin looked across at Helène as they were placed upon the table, with a significant smile.
"An Englishman," he remarked, pouring himself out a glass of burgundy and drawing the cigarettes towards him, "never knows when he is beaten. As a national trait it is magnificent, in private life it is a little awkward."
Helène had been sitting through the meal, still and statuesque in her black dinner gown, a little more pale than usual, and very silent. At Mr. Sabin's remark she looked up quickly.
"Are you alluding to Lord Wolfenden?" she asked.
Mr. Sabin lit his cigarette, and nodded through the mist of blue smoke.
"To no less a person," he answered, with a shade of mockery in his tone. "I am beginning to find my guardianship no sinecure after all! Do you know, it never occurred to me, when we concluded our little arrangement, that I might have to exercise my authority against so ardent a suitor. You would have found his lordship hard to get rid of this morning, I am afraid, but for my opportune arrival."
"By no means," she answered. "Lord Wolfenden is a gentleman, and he was not more persistent than he had a right to be."
"Perhaps," Mr. Sabin remarked, "you would have been better pleased if I had not come?"
"I am quite sure of it," she admitted; "but then it is so like you to arrive just at a crisis! Do you know, I can't help fancying that there is something theatrical about your comings and goings! You appear—and one looks for a curtain and a tableau. Where could you have dropped from this morning?"
"From Cromer, in a donkey-cart," he answered smiling. "I got as far as Peterborough last night, and came on here by the first train. There was nothing very melodramatic about that, surely!"
"It does not sound so, certainly. Your playing golf with Lord Wolfenden afterwards was commonplace enough!"
"I found Lord Wolfenden very interesting," Mr. Sabin said thoughtfully. "He told me a good deal which was important for me to know. I am hoping that to-night he will tell me more."
"To-night! Is he coming here?"
Mr. Sabin assented calmly.
"Yes. I thought you would be surprised. But then you need not see him, you know. I met him riding upon the sands this afternoon—at rather an awkward moment, by the bye—and asked him to dine with us."
"He refused, of course?"
"Only the dinner; presumably he doubted our cook, for he asked to be allowed to come down afterwards. He will be here soon."
"Why did you ask him?"
Mr. Sabin looked keenly across the table. There was something in the girl's face which he scarcely understood.
"Well, not altogether for the sake of his company, I must confess," he replied. "He has been useful to me, and he is in the position to be a great deal more so."
The girl rose up. She came over and stood before him. Mr. Sabin knew at once that something unusual was going to happen.
"You want to make of him," she said, in a low, intense tone, "what you make of every one—a tool! Understand that I will not have it!"
The single word, and the glance which flashed from his eyes, was expressive, but the girl did not falter.
"Oh! I am weary of it," she cried, with a little passionate outburst. "I am sick to death of it all! You will never succeed in what you are planning. One might sooner expect a miracle. I shall go back to Vienna. I am tired of masquerading. I have had more than enough of it."
Mr. Sabin's expression did not alter one iota; he spoke as soothingly as one would speak to a child.
"I am afraid," he said quietly, "that it must be dull for you. Perhaps I ought to have taken you more into my confidence; very well, I will do so now. Listen: you say that I shall never succeed. On the contrary, I am on the point of success; the waiting for both of us is nearly over."
The prospect startled, but did not seem altogether to enrapture her. She wanted to hear more.
"I received this dispatch from London this morning," he said. "Baron Knigenstein has left for Berlin to gain the Emperor's consent to an agreement which we have already ratified. The affair is as good as settled; it is a matter now of a few days only."
"Germany!" she exclaimed, incredulously, "I thought it was to be Russia."
"So," he answered, "did I. I have to make a certain rather humiliating confession. I, who have always considered myself keenly in touch with the times, especially since my interest in European matters revived, have remained wholly ignorant of one of the most extraordinary phases of modern politics. In years to come history will show us that it was inevitable, but I must confess that it has come upon me like a thunder clap. I, like all the world, have looked upon Germany and England as natural and inevitable allies. That is neither more nor less than a colossal blunder! As a matter of fact, they are natural enemies!"
She sank into a chair, and looked at him blankly.
"But it is impossible," she cried. "There are all the ties of relationship, and a common stock. They are sister countries."
"Don't you know," he said, "that it is the like which irritates and repels the like. It is this relationship which has been at the root of the great jealousy, which seems to have spread all through Germany. I need not go into all the causes of it with you now; sufficient it is to say that all the recent successes of England have been at Germany's expense. There has been a storm brewing for long; to-day, to-morrow, in a week, surely within a month, it will break."
"You may be right," she said; "but who of all the Frenchwomen I know would care to reckon themselves the debtors of Germany?"
"You will owe Germany nothing, for she will be paid and overpaid for all she does. Russia has made terms with the Republic of France. Politically, she has nothing to gain by a rupture; but with Germany it is different. She and France are ready at this moment to fly at one another's throats. The military popularity of such a war would be immense. The cry to arms would ring from the Mediterranean to the Rhine."
"Oh! I hope that it may not be war," she said. "I had hoped always that diplomacy, backed by a waiting army, would be sufficient. France at heart is true, I know. But after all, it sounds like a fairy tale. You are a wonderful man, but how can you hope to move nations? What can you offer Germany to exact so tremendous a price?"
"I can offer," Mr. Sabin said calmly, "what Germany desires more than anything else in the world—the key to England. It has taken me six years to perfect my schemes. As you know, I was in America part of the time I was supposed to be in China. It was there, in the laboratory of Allison, that I commenced the work. Step by step I have moved on—link by link I have forged the chain. I may say, without falsehood or exaggeration, that my work would be the work of another man's lifetime. With me it has been a labour of love. Your part, my dear Helène, will be a glorious one; think of it, and shake off your depression. This hole and corner life is not for long—the time for which we have worked is at hand."
She did not look up, there was no answering fire of enthusiasm in her dark eyes. The colour came into her cheeks and faded away. Mr. Sabin was vaguely disturbed.
"In what way," she said, without directly looking at him, "is Lord Wolfenden likely to be useful to you?"
Mr. Sabin did not reply for some time, in fact he did not reply at all. This new phase in the situation was suddenly revealed to him. When he spoke his tone was grave enough—grave with an undertone of contempt.
"Is it possible, Helène," he said, "that you have allowed yourself to think seriously of the love-making of this young man? I must confess that such a thing in connection with you would never have occurred to me in my wildest dreams!"
"I am the mistress of my own affections," she said coldly. "I am not pledged to you in any way. If I were to say that I intended to listen seriously to Lord Wolfenden—even if I were to say that I intended to marry him—well, there is no one who would dare to interfere! But, on the other hand, I have refused him. That should be enough for you. I am not going to discuss the matter at all; you would not understand it."
"I must admit," Mr. Sabin said, "that I probably should not. Of love, as you young people conceive it, I know nothing. But of that greater affection—the passionate love of a man for his race and his kind and his country—well, that has always seemed to me a thing worth living and working and dying for! I had fancied, Helène, that some spark of that same fire had warmed your blood, or you would not be here to-day."
"I think," she answered more gently, "that it has. I too, believe me, love my country and my people and my order. If I do not find these all-engrossing, you must remember that I am a woman, and I am young; I do not pretend to be capable only of impersonal and patriotic love."
"Ay, you are a woman, and the blood of some of your ancestors will make itself felt," he added, looking at her thoughtfully. "I ought to have considered the influence of sex and heredity. By the bye, have you heard from Henri lately?"
She shook her head.
"Not since he has been in France. We thought that whilst he was there it would be better for him not to write."
Mr. Sabin nodded.
"Most discreet," he remarked satirically. "I wonder what Henri would say if he knew?"
The girl's lip curled a little.
"If even," she said, "there was really something serious for him to know, Henri would survive it. His is not the temperament for sorrow. For twenty minutes he would be in a paroxysm. He would probably send out for poison, which he would be careful not to take; and play with a pistol, if he were sure that it was not loaded. By dinner time he would be calm, the opera would soothe him still more, and by the time it was over he would be quite ready to take Mademoiselle Somebody out to supper. With the first glass of champagne his sorrow would be drowned for ever. If any wound remained at all, it would be the wound to his vanity."
"You have considered, then, the possibility of upsetting my schemes and withdrawing your part?" Mr. Sabin said quietly. "You understand that your marriage with Henri would be an absolute necessity—that without it all would be chaos?"
"I do not say that I have considered any such possibility," she answered. "If I make up my mind to withdraw, I shall give you notice. But I will admit that I like Lord Wolfenden, and I detest Henri! Ah! I know of what you would remind me; you need not fear, I shall not forget! It will not be to-day, nor to-morrow, that I shall decide."
A servant entered the room and announced Lord Wolfenden. Mr. Sabin looked up.
"Where have you shown him?" he asked.
"Into the library, sir," the girl answered.
Mr. Sabin swore softly between his teeth, and sprang to his feet.
"Excuse me, Helène," he exclaimed, "I will bring Lord Wolfenden into the drawing-room. That girl is an idiot; she has shown him into the one room in the house which I would not have had him enter for anything in the world!"

I hesitated before reading this article just because of the title alone...but then I would miss the full Buffet of random liberal thoughts.
Mrs. Sund managed to slip in "yes-I-am-better-off-than-I-was-4-years-ago-because-I-vacayed-just-like-the-Prez-in-a-condo-on-the-beach-and-I-got-a-column-to-spread-liberal-talking-points". How amusing. You are slipping, Ms. Sund, you left out your slam against Perry this week.
I will address the Buffet rule shoot down by the Repubs.Now,it is just alright with this conservative if the President, Buffet, Biden, Kerry,Pelosi, Reid (all multi-millionaires) want to pay that 30% income tax. What are they waiting for? A bill to pass? They certainly do not come close to that now. It is all smoke and mirrors.
As far as George Zimmerman, the way the media handled this is appalling. And the second degree murder charge is bogus. Does anyone really believe that Zimmerman set out to murder this guy? It is a tragedy yes, and maybe manslaughter charges. But murder? Please...Zimmerman had visible wounds too, it escalated out of control. And God rest his soul did anyone see Trayvon's Facebook page and his screen name before they took it down? We were not there, but the witnesses that were said that Zimmerman was the one on the bottom of the pile and that they struggled over the gun. By then it escalated to a point of instant tragedy. Both were young, both were afraid, and it should have never gotten to that point but why this case? Black kill blacks every single day. There were over 30 murders in one weekend in Chicago! Why did the President even get involved in this at all? He is using this tragedy for political gain and race baiting.
You Far right people have a sick preoccupation with race. Also Eagle, I think you may be a little jealous that Roberta has a column and you don't. I think that you could out-right wing Petrash. I will call Deanna and see if we can make that happen. The gun debate will be over soon as no doubt Obama will take all of your guns, just like Bill Clinton did when he was president.

About Us
Plans are being put together to re-open the historic Old Magnus Buildings to the public as a new museum, telling the story of the district of Newark and Sherwood, and as a national centre for Civil War learning. Newark and Sherwood District Council has received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to carry out the initial development work on the project, but is hoping to apply for a further HLF support to bring the new museum to life. Local fundraising will also help make the project a reality.
The Old Magnus Buildings site in Appleton Gate, Newark includes a range of architectural styles from a Tudor hall, a Georgian town house and school hall and Victorian outbuildings, each of which has its own distinctive period style. An extension will need to be built to house a lift and improve the accessibility to the buildings.
The new museum and learning centre will have the following facilities -
- permanent exhibitions about the English Civil War and Newark history galleries
- temporary exhibitions showcasing the museum's collections
- hirable art gallery space
- learning spaces for schools and adult learners
- community facilities including meeting rooms
- cafe and shop
The exhibitions will have two distinct areas, each located in a different wing of the main building.
The Newark Story will explain how the district has developed from prehistoric times to present day, through its strategic position on the river and arterial roads, important people, local trades and industries and important events.
There are also plans to interpret the story of the buildings from Tudor school to twenty-first century museum.
The second area will tell the unique tale of a town under siege in the Civil War and how as the key to the north, Newark played a significant part in the national politics that are still relevant today. Local partners and interested people have been consulted to develop an activity plan. The plans include a range of activities, some of which are listed in the box below.
Planned activities:
- guided tours of the buildings
- talks, lectures and conferences
- family activities; quizzes, trails and children's workshops
- workshops for schools and groups at the museum
- discovery boxes with replica and handling objects and information – for groups and schools to borrow
- special events; music evenings, celebrations and arts events
- temporary history exhibitions
- temporary exhibition space for artists and local groups
- satellite exhibitions for display in local libraries, leisure centres and other public spaces
The project is supported by a Friends group who are involved in promotion, education, research and general support towards the improvement of Newark and Sherwood Museums Service in co-operation with museums staff.
Benefits of joining the Friends include; regular newsletters, events, free tea and coffee with gift shop purchases at Millgate Museum, a free Active card which provides discounts on museum activities, film shows at the Palace and activities in the local leisure centres.
If people want to get involved or make donations please contact: OMB Development Manager Bryony Robins on 01636 655733 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Product Type: TU in Homeware
Newest Review: ... as i was anticipating though, it only really covered three quarters of the back of my sofa so made it look a bit odd, it wasn't long enough... more
TU Cushion and Throw Set
TU Teal Cushion & Throw Set
Member Name: bringingsexyback
TU Teal Cushion & Throw Set
Date: 16/10/12, updated on 16/10/12 (40 review reads)
Advantages: It is very nice when brand new
Disadvantages: It is a poor quality set
A cushion and throw set from Sainsbury's. Mine is the teal colour but they are available in green and red.
The solid teal throw measures about 150cm x 150cm. It has got a fringe on two opposite edges and is a thin woven style. It has got a leafy pattern woven into it and looks very good when I lay it across the back of my large armchair.
The cushion is off white and has got a leafy floral design on both sides. The teal colour is lighter than on the throw and the cushion is not stuffed very well so is very thin and not comfortable to put behind my back when I am sitting down.
This set only cost me £10 but that was when it was on special offer. I wouldn't pay more than that because the throw is very thin and the cushion is not very good quality. Both items can be washed in the washing machine but when I did this with the throw the colour faded quite badly and the fringe became all tangled. I think the cushion would get very flat if you washed that and the cover is not removable so it is only suitable for surface washing.
The throw is very disappointing because it is so thin and not soft at all, it's scratchy against my skin and is not a throw that I would like to cover myself up with when it's cold. The fringes started getting tangled up as soon as I used it once and after it had been washed the fabric went very thin in places and the colour was patchy.
I got this set to give to a friend but I kept it for myself after I found something better for her. I'm very glad I didn't give it to her because it is such poor quality that I would have been embarrassed, it comes with a ribbon holding the throw and cushion together and I think the ribbon is the best part of the set. I use the ribbon in my daughters hair and it is a beautiful emerald green colour and very strong.
2 Dooyoo Stars.
Summary: This has been a very disappointing soft furnishing set and I will not buy it again

Cree Lobby: Results
Guests walking into Cree's visitor lobby immediately notice brightly colored tubes of LED lights creating constantly changing color patterns. Next they notice the large TV display – lit by LEDs, of course – behind the receptionist's desk. They may not notice the new LED recessed can lights throughout the lobby because they produce high-quality, uniform lighting similar to the incandescent lamps they replaced.
We replaced the lobby ceiling lights in two areas:
Reception desk – Eight ceiling lights replaced Waiting area – Twenty-six ceiling lights replaced
Reception desk – Eight ceiling lights replaced
Waiting area – Twenty-six ceiling lights replaced
The new LED lights generally achieved average energy savings from 21 to 71 percent, compared to the non-LED fixtures they replaced.
Potential cost savings are increased by the lower maintenance and disposal costs made possible by the long service life of LEDs (targeted at 50,000 hours) and by the fact that they do not contain mercury or other hazardous materials requiring specialized disposal.
Here are the details:
* Renaissance Lighting EVO can lights can operate at multiple light levels. Their energy-demands range from 41 to 15 W. The savings calculations are based on both these high and low levels.
Cree also added LED fixtures from Avtec, Inc. to illuminate a display wall, but we have no precise energy-consumption figures from the replaced fixtures to allow us to calculate energy savings.

Approximately 50 people marched on Saturday to show their concern about the use of genetically-modified food.
The Prince George march was one of 558 March Against Monsanto events planned across the globe on Saturday. Local organizer Karmjeet Manhas said he wants to see Canada restrict the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food products -like many European Union countries -or at least make labeling mandatory.
Partial bans are in place in 16 countries and 62 countries currently require GMO foods to be labeled, according to March Against Monsanto international organizers.
"The concerns about GMOs sound like a conspiracy [theory], but it's all real -it's absolutely true," Manhas said. "We just want to say we have the right to make a choice."
GMOs are plants or animals which have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering to change certain characteristics - like increasing resistance to pesticides, diseases, pests or environmental conditions.
Companies like agribusiness giant Monsanto are tinkering with millions of years of natural evolution, Manhas said.
According to Health Canada, all genetically-modified food products are subject to a scientific pre-market safety assessment. Genetically modified foods found to be safe are not required to be labeled, under Canadian regulations - although a voluntarily labeling program exists.
However, Manhas said, many people -including members of the scientific community -have questioned the research showing genetically modified foods are safe.
"It's important because it's in our foods without labels," march participant Sara Duncan said. "It should be eliminated, or at least a lot more monitored."
Registered nurse Alyssa St. Peter said she is often surprised by how many people are unaware of the prevalence of genetically-modified foods.
"I'm a nurse and I work with people who are very health-oriented. But I talked to people and four or five didn't even know what GMOs are," St. Peter said. "The health of our population has been declining over the years, and it shouldn't be. It should be getting better."
Brandon Cote said Canada should follow Europe and Mexico's decisions to heavily restrict use of GMOs.
"How many countries have banned GMO? [And here] It's the majority of what is on our shelves," Cote said.
According to the International Service the the Acquisition of Agra-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) - a GMO advocacy organization - more than 90 per cent of canola planted in Canada in 2009, and 96 per cent of sugarbeets, were genetically-modified. In 2009, a total of 8.2 million hectares of farmland in Canada was dedicated to genetically-modified crops of canola, soybeans, corn and sugarbeets.
In the U.S., 80 to 85 per cent of corn grown in genetically modified.
Globally, 77 per cent of soybeans, 49 per cent of cotton, 26 per cent of corn and 21 per cent of canola crops were genetically-modified strains in 2009, the ISAAA reported.
"Biotech crops can play an important role by contributing to food self-sufficiency/security and more affordable food through increasing supply (by increasing productivity per hectare) and coincidentally decreasing cost of production (by a reduced need for inputs, less ploughing and fewer pesticide applications) which in turn also requires less fossil fuels for tractors, thus mitigating some of the negative aspects associated with climate change," the ISAAA wrote in a 2009 report.
"Of the economic gains of $51.9 billion US during the period 1996 to 2008, 49.6 per cent were due to substantial yield gains, and 50.4 per cent due to a reduction in production costs. In 2008, the total crop production gain globally for the four principal biotech crops (soybean, maize, cotton and canola) was 29.6 million metric tons, which would have required 10.5 million additional hectares [of farmland] had biotech crops not been deployed."
