Steam Irrigation "About twenty years ago Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt erected a steam engine of 100 horse power to take the place of 500 wheels which supplied water from the Nile to market gardens in the neighborhood of Boulac. When the natives saw the machinery put together, and were told its object, they pronounced the governor mad. But when they saw the huge machine belching out columns of water, they at once said the Franks [Westerners] had brought a devil, to empty the Nile. Such is the fertilizing power of the Nile water, that when the Cornish engine just mentioned was erected, 700 or 800 acres of land were brought under cultivation in the immediate vicinity of Cairo. These are now covered with market gardens and sugar fields."

text: Overall I am happy with this jacket. I purchased it a year ago and have put it to good use. The problem that I find with down jackets is sleeve length. I am 6'2" and 185lbs and found that most jackets were fitting me well in the torso with a M but the sleeves were too short. I purchased the Nitrous in a large with hopes that the torso would be form fitting. Unfortunately it is a regular fit but the sleeve length is great. I suppose this was a good compromise. I would like to say that having a jacket this light that packs down super small is great to have as you can throw it in your pack and not notice is, but have it there when you need it.

Sporty and Summer Trend 2012
The year 2011 is over and we already embraced the year of the Water Dragon 2012. Last year 80's inspire punk look was in but now it's already out of style. But wait, you don't have to change your entire wardrobe and shop till you drop to be in style. Since this year London will host the upcoming Olympic Summer Games, sporty summer look will be the hit in fashion and style. Sports are most of the time associated with performance and endurance so clothes will be tighter.
Colors green, blue, white and turquoise will be in-style for the summer fashion look added up with natural fiber accessories, shell-inspired and more natural look. Polka dots at the start of the year are also a startling trend. Prints for men and women will look great too.
For men, pastel colors will highlight any outfit of the day, spice it up with structured bags for natural to cool look get-up. And yes, men can carry bags or small pursed with them. Bold bright colors which come in variety plaid and stripes will be among men's favorite.
You will no longer find pants which reminds you of leggings or super skinny men jeans. Board shorts and above-the-knee shorts plus brightly colored belt will be a trend but still shows their masculinity.
For their footwear, classic shoes are still the top trend but for men who do not prefer wearing close shoes they can go for a comfy sandals or fringed loafers. To complete men's new look 2012, too short hairstyles for men are not too in rather curly and not too short will do. Natural, less stylish and more relaxed hair styles will match up their sporty natural look.
For women, different themes arise from tailored, classic but still bold and edgy. This includes fun fashion that offers wonderful stripes, patterns, vivid and geometric prints. Some categories include art deco, urban jungle and nude look. Colors for summer look which includes combination of soft and warm colors, warm oranges, soft gold, neutrals, majestic pink, silhouettes, detailed, flirty, and more feminine for a fanciful and carefree look. This includes sexy little dresses, lace and floral prints.
Skinny tight jeans with bright colors are now out for women too and replaced with loose and baggy jeans. Skirts from your old wardrobe are still in and one of the must haves. To fit with the men, wearing sporty attire for women is also a trend like fashionable jogging suites and sweat pants of bright colors and prints which are still sexy. 2012 trends focused more on the comfort of the clothes you wear rather than how it looks. Still black and white colors are on the go for women mix and match with bright colors of the year. For the footwear, trends of 2011 are still in for 2012 which includes hot ballet flats, chic wedge heels, sleek ankle booties, and pump with more colors, pattern and details.
For women's hairstyles, super straight long hairs for easy styling are great for its very natural and modern look. Long yet edgy hairstyles such as long and bouncy, "just rolled out of bed" waves, homemade curls, French twist, looped under ponytail, side pinned waves, wet look big bounced curls and etc. that add up to women's well groomed, elegant yet well relaxed look. For make-up, timeless look fits the new look which is skin tone inspired from the 80s and 90s look that opt for soft and gentle colors, contoured cheeks, bare eyed mascara, metallic shades for eye shadows, brows that are bold but feminine, and nude lip colors.
Fashion changes from year to another and sometimes trends for the past returns back with a twist so it is not really necessary to change your entire wardrobe. For those budget-conscious who just buy a piece or two and mix-and-match with the ones on your closet. And always remember the most important fashion statement, "it's not how others look at you rather how you carry yourself on the clothes you wear with comfort and confidence, you are still in-style!"

Letter: Let's make Illinois work again
To the Editor: When Fitch Ratings downgraded Illinois' credit rating, they were effectively downgrading Gov. Quinn and the Democrats, as well.
Remember, Democrats control all branches of state government. Their failure to lead and deal with this clear and present crisis is as infuriating to me as it should be to every Illinois taxpayer.
When I served as Gov. Jim Edgar's chief of staff, we made the tough but fair choices. We learned to say "no." We lived within our means. By Edgar's second term, the state's credit rating actually went up. That's right – Illinois' credit rating improved! That's a far cry from the nearly dozen credit downgrades Illinois received under Democrat Govs. Blagojevich and Quinn.

So this -- woman in Rhode Island who is now suing her one time doctor.
She says the doctors book about a drug addict was based on her life and her case.
That doctor admits the book was based on -- real patient but he changed all the names to keep the person's identity confidential.
-- to the lawsuit before patient.
Of the former patient -- the book gave her emotional distress.
Court documents show that woman had taken part in a treatment program to to treat drug addiction so far no response from the doctor.
If the book was about her she basically -- -- herself.
So should this lawsuit stand.
Let's take you to our legal panel prosecutor Josh in chapter criminal -- attorney.
-- these -- it was about her life her medical records are private doctor patient confidentiality.
Why was it okay for him to do this.
I don't think it wasn't even him to do this I think everybody makes a choice in this case of the Doctor Who said.
I'm gonna make money I'm gonna put out a book I'm gonna right at the beginning that you know I'm keeping my name private and any other facts into and not make -- -- Directly -- person's life directly available for everybody but in the end he took somebody's life.
He didn't ask -- can use your story medical history and make money off of that and show she would've said no or yes I'd like that for a cut of the money he went ahead and did what he wanted to do.
As a lawyer -- I prosecute cases all the time we have an ethical obligation and a legal obligation to say you know what I'm not out there to make money from people's lives and that's what's what's wrong here and I.
Whether Lowell will prevail in this case is questionable with a lot of times -- happens in the cases fall apart really what you just said she added herself nobody knew that it was car.
Except for -- So there has been no invasion of her privacy because her name wasn't disclosed none of -- personal information was disclosed there was no violation of what we call -- -- below which is patients' privacy.
Because again none of her personal information was disclosed court let -- -- of course was if you go through a very difficult process like a rehabilitation program.
And you're laying it all out for your doctor and then this book is written in you have to read about it.
She claims emotional distress do you -- that that's a possibility that you have to read.
Well do you buy that it's a possibility that that emotional stress is there any sessions and she knows other people are reading this book and she may have -- personal -- with other people about elected it's hard to get that it's not a author were adopted that she confided -- that's the purpose of the -- -- to say.
I'm going to you on the to speak to you and no there's no chance that my information -- -- get out in me change the names may change some facts that you really given up my life and that's not you know that of course and any distress there are eighteen factors under -- -- -- -- to determine whether or not there's been a violation so if you don't violate any of them just because the patient thinks it may be about me.
And maybe some friends -- that's not enough we saw what happened -- -- -- John Grisham novel case dismissed the movie to help.
-- -- Just because you know would you put it nobody else does it's not an invasion of privacy -- not actionable and legally -- don't know -- but in the end that -- -- an ethical obligation to say.
I should ask the simple question would you like can you -- you just your story in my story.
She says no he put it away and you wonder what would happen if this were about a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Somebody's life laid bare in that way someone who would -- told some friends -- this little -- specific things.
But then -- you'd be afraid that the friends might be able to figure out the whole story.
Could this be precedent -- will -- and follow the trial.
So we'll follow the case at least seal team.

As lawmakers said today they've known about the latest Colombian hooker scandal for weeks now.
As we reported last night the feds are investigating as many as three agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Feds accuse the -- of hiring prostitutes around the time president Obama's visit to Columbia last month it was a very popular thing to do.
The Justice Department officials say this is separate from the scandal involving -- Secret Service.
Today house Homeland Security chairman Peter -- confirmed he's kept this quiet for a few weeks for security and operational reasons.
Trace data is live -- west whose views -- what more are we learning about now this is incidents.
Well unlike the Secret Service.
Agent Jeff who were visiting Colombia these DEA agents actually live in Columbia based in Bogut time -- to -- trying to intercept the drug cartels down there.
The DA says the agents were entertaining female masseuse is at the apartment.
In -- to hang it out congressman Peter King says he's not interest did.
In the whole morality personality -- personal morality issue but he is concerned that the agents left themselves vulnerable listen.
You're in a foreign country and you're leaving yourself.
At risk.
Two at the very least being -- -- To be drug to being killed to have me sensitive information.
Taken from real and that would put at risk the DEA agents in the country.
Those three agents have since been removed from Columbia pending the outcome of this investigation -- And lawmakers say they're concerned that this is becoming a bit of a pattern -- Yet because now you have twelve Secret Service agents in twelve members of the military now you add three members of the DEA.
And you've got some concern about who might be next senator Susan Collins said and I'm quoting here.
It's disturbing that we may be uncovering a troubling culture that spans more than one law enforcement agency the evidence uncovered thus far indicates that this likely was not just a one time incident and that's what the Justice Department is now trying to figure out.
The congressman king says it is way too early to issue a blanket indictment was.
They're always gonna be.
The inappropriate actions there's always going to be people who do the wrong thing that does mean there's a culture.
Does -- mean those condoned and I think it's unfair to the brave men and women put their lives in the line every day.
The White House was also asked about this today and chose not to comment instead deferring all questions to the DEA.

Why is the night sky dark?
That's a question that a lot of six-year-olds ask. And for centuries, it was one that astronomers asked, too.
Today, the question is known as "Olbers' Paradox" -- named for German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers, who was born 250 years ago tomorrow.
Olbers was a physician with a love of astronomy. He built an observatory at his house, and spent many nights hunting comets. He also hunted for a planet between Mars and Jupiter. He didn't find one, but he did find two of the first four asteroids, which inhabit that region of the solar system. Olbers thought they were the remnants of an exploded planet.
Later, he turned his attention to the dark sky.
Olbers reasoned that if the universe were infinite, as many scientists thought, then we should see stars in every direction, so the night sky would be filled with light. Since we see only a few stars, he decided that dust between the stars must be blocking their light.
In fact, dust clouds do absorb the light of the stars behind them. But other factors are more important. For one, the observable universe isn't infinite, so there aren't stars in every direction you look. For another, the universe is expanding, which stretches the light of distant stars and galaxies to wavelengths that we can't see. And for another, the universe is so large that the light from many of its stars hasn't had time to reach us.
All of those factors combine to keep the night sky dark.

Americans are increasingly going online just for fun and to pass the time, particularly young adults under 30. On any given day, 53% of all the young adults ages 18-29 go online for no particular reason except to have fun or to pass the time. Many of them go online in purposeful ways, as well. But the results of a survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project show that young adults' use of the internet can at times be simply for the diversion it presents. Indeed, 81% of all young adults in this age cohort report they have used the internet for this reason at least occasionally.
These results come in the larger context that internet users of all ages are much more likely now than in the past to say they go online for no particular reason other than to pass the time or have fun. Some 58% of all adults (or 74% of all online adults) say they use the internet this way. And a third of all adults (34%) say they used the internet that way "yesterday" – or the day before Pew Internet reached them for the survey. Both figures are higher than in 2009 when we last asked this question and vastly higher than in the middle of the last decade.
"These findings are one of our main signs about how deeply Internet use has woven itself into the rhythms of people's lives," report author and Pew Internet Lee Rainie told Mashable.
"When they have some down time, more and more of them are finding the Internet a fun, diverting place to spend their leisure moments. It's not necessarily surprising to see that this is a favorite pastime of young adults. It is a bit surprising to see that the incidence of this use has grown in every age demographic. The Internet is not just the playground of the young."
The results in this report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from July 25 to August 26, 2011, among a sample of 2,260 adults, age 18 and older. Telephone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by landline (1,344) and cell phone (916, including 425 without a landline phone). For results based on the total sample, the margin of error is plus or minus 2.3 percentage points. For results based on Internet users (n=1,716), the margin of error is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

I believe we (I work at Mozilla) don't promote 64-bit builds because we aren't confident they are fully up to par yet. There are various bugs on those that don't exist in 32-bit builds.
But if you're a power user (and if you're reading this here, you are ;) then have fun with the 64-bit builds. Expect possible breakage though.

(I'm on CentOS 5, so the cause is probably some ancient lib version or something... But, all I know is the 64-bit build seems to work great, so I'm sticking with it...)
Still, even if you're not promoting it, I'd think you could detect we were already running a 64-bit version, which means we obviously want to continue doing so, and offer up the new 64-bit version for download instead of the 32-bit one... I'm not saying offer it to someone currently running a 32-bit version... *shrug*

but the point of only offering 32 bit builds, even if I am already running a 64 bit build (and so have 64 bit extensions loaded that will break if I install the 32 bit build) is not a good thing

I actually got frustrated enough a couple of versions ago to use the ubuntu PPA and live with it updating every couple of nights because it was just too painful to track down the 64 bit build otherwise.

Appearance is very nice, with a pretty black pour and I don't mean ruby. The head comes off as creamy and tan but doesn't stick around long. There is some lacing for the duration but not much. All seems straight forward but pleasant. Yes, as advertised, no mistaking that this is an Irish Stout. To the nose, you get plenty of malt, plenty of dark chocolate and some might say coffee but I got something along the lines of creamy black tea. The mouth-feel is nice and creamy with nothing overbearing, very light on the palate. The taste is once again straight forward and nothing ground breaking but still very enjoyable. Up front is the creamy chocolate, accompanied by mocha and very light expresso in the end. You will also be able to taste a lot of the malt and that's something I like in Stouts. All around a very nice beer although a bit on the pricey side here in Vegas. I'd buy it again if the price was right as this is a nice one but there are better choices out there. This is NOT a big beer and no way resembles a serious Imperial Stout. It's not complex and will remind you of most other Irish style Stouts but it still sits higher on the shelf than most.

Mark Wahlberg In Air Jordan 2012 "Wolf Grey"
June 25th, 2012 by John Kim | 18 comments
The man responsible for everything 'cool' in Hollywood is gearing up for the premiere of his latest movie titled TED, which co-stars the movie's director Seth McFarlane. In TED, Mark Wahlberg plays a man with no friends (really, how does Marky Mark not have any friends) except for a teddy bear that has come to life, which apparently has taken the soul of Family Guy's Peter Griffin. We get that the two characters don't intertwine, but how do you not imagine Quahog's finest when the bear speaks? In any case, Mark Wahlberg was spotted strolling around Beverly Hills with his wife while wearing the Air Jordan 2012 in the 'Wolf Grey' colorway. More of Marky Mark's sneaky sneaks below!

Seeds of Discontent
Aroostook County potato farmer Jim Gerritsen leads organic growers' fight against genetically modified foods.
By Virginia M. Wright
For nearly three decades Jim Gerritsen quietly farmed organic seed potatoes in Aroostook County. These days he is in the international spotlight as the spokesman for the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Monsanto Corporation, the world's largest producer of genetically modified seeds.
Gerritsen is president of the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA), whose lawsuit asks to have Monsanto's patents for genetically altered seeds invalidated.
OSGATA, which has been joined in lawsuit by eighty-two seed businesses, family farmers, and trade organizations, including the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, wants court protection for farmers against possible lawsuits for patent infringement should Monsanto's transgenic crops be found in their harvest as a result of accidental cross pollination.
Monsanto makes its transgenic seeds by transferring the genes of one species into the DNA of another. Among its products is Roundup Ready transgenic seed, which grows crops that tolerate the company's weed killer, Roundup.
The agriculture giant's reputation for suing or threatening to sue farmers for patent infringement has been widely reported; nevertheless, U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald dismissed OSGATA's lawsuit in February, saying the plaintiffs' allegations were unsubstantiated. The case is now before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. Gerritsen expects oral arguments will likely be heard this winter. [Update: The U.S. Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in the case on Jan. 10, according to a report in The Portland Press Herald.]
In the meantime, Gerritsen, who was named an Utne Reader visionary in 2011 for his leadership on the OSGATA case, has been traveling around the country, speaking about the lawsuit and its relationship to other concerns about genetically modified foods, including safety, consumer choice, and farm independence.
Tell us a little about your farm, Wood Prairie Farm.
We've been farming organically in the town of Bridgewater for thirty-six years. We've got a small farm — as a potato farm in Aroostook County, we're not even on the radar screen. We're surrounded by woods. Route 11, twenty-five miles west of here, interrupts the north Maine woods, but then they go on all the way to Quebec City. That kind of isolation is ideal for growing anything, but it's particularly good for growing organic seed, so that's what we've focused on for the last twenty-five years — primarily seed potatoes, but we also grow other seed crops like corn, peppers, tomatoes, squash. We're blessed to be in Aroostook County. It is one of the world-class areas for raising potatoes. You can't find anyplace better.
Why is isolation a good thing?
Two things come to mind immediately. Isolation is important for genetic purity of seed growing. You need geographical isolation to prevent cross-pollination of crops like corn or squash, whose pollen will travel great distances.
The other aspect is that a farmer's troubles seem to come from his neighbor. It's great for, say, a potato farmer to have a buffer between him and another farmer's potatoes because that's where a pest like the Colorado potato beetle is going to come from. The more isolated you are, the more protected you are.
That ties into the topic of OSGATA's lawsuit against Monsanto, which stems from farmers' concerns that transgenic seeds might contaminate their crops. How are organic crops threatened by genetically engineered (GE) crops?
It all comes down to the lessons that we learn back in high school biology class: Each farm crop has its own biological qualities that are at stake when it comes to reproduction. Pollen can be dispersed great distances by wind and insects, and if pollen goes off one farm to another, that can cause trouble.
I'll give you an example: One of the crops we grow is organic sweet corn seed. Genetic purity is necessary for good quality seed. If a neighbor were to grow a type of corn that a cow would eat either for silage or dry corn, the pollen from that corn not only could make our sweet corn genetically impure, but it also would lower its quality because it would be less sweet and kind of starchy.
When you get into genetically engineered crops, you're facing a whole different level of concern. Many countries, as well as the organic and non-GMO [genetically modified organism] conventional markets in this country, will not accept crops that have GE content. A number of the farmers who are plaintiffs in our lawsuit are conventional farmers who do not want to grow GMO crops, and in many cases they have developed a nice market niche for a crop like corn that is free of transgenic content.
Genetic engineering is a process that would never, ever be found in nature. For example, researchers once spliced a gene from a flounder fish into a strawberry in order to try to give the strawberry increased frost resistance. Well, obviously if you set a strawberry and a flounder in a room for a million years you would never get any crossing going on. This concerns us because the biotech companies say the kind of genetic manipulation they're doing is what farmers have been doing for thousands of years, and that is absolutely false. These are humanly engineered in the laboratory.
I for one have no confidence in the studies that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relies upon in their regulatory decision-making process. Many of the federal regulators come from the biotech industry — they spend a few years supposedly regulating the crop, then they go back to the biotech industry. The other factor is, the federal government has no research function of its own. They simply do a document review of what the biotech companies provide to them.
What kinds of crops are most vulnerable to accidental pollination by genetically modified plants?
Canola is wicked for reestablishing itself. They've now found that GMO canola is cross-breeding with wild species of canola. It is getting way out of hand in North Dakota, Manitoba, Saskatchewan. These are weeds that grow in the shoulders of the road and at the end of culverts. They're spreading like mad. It's because the pollen of canola is extremely mobile, as it is for corn, and it can spread quite a distance.
There are some crops not yet approved by the federal government whose potential for spread is mindboggling. In Oregon, GMO bentgrass was found growing fifteen miles from the research plot where it is being developed. Imagine if you were a seed farmer in Oregon raising bentgrass seed and you wanted nothing to do with GMOs. You'd have to be assured that there wasn't GMO bentgrass being grown within a radius of fifteen or twenty miles of your farm or else you've got a big problem, especially if you are selling your bentgrass seed to Europe or Asia, where they do not allow it. You'd have no market; the value of that crop would be evaporated.
[The bentgrass to which Gerritsen refers was discovered in eastern Oregon's Malheur County in 2010, according to the Capital Press, an agriculture newspaper. It tested positive for a transgenic gene that makes it resistant to Roundup, Monsanto's weed killer. Oregon State University weed scientist Carol Mallory-Smith speculated that the plants originated from seed that had spread from a field near Parma, Idaho, where Roundup Ready bentgrass is being developed for golf courses by Scotts Co. and Monsanto.]
In dismissing OSGATA's lawsuit, Judge Buchwald said the farmers were creating a controversy where none exists.
We feel her ruling is filled with factual and legal errors that led her to dismiss our case, and that's the basis on which we are filing our appeal. She had done inadequate research on the entire reason Congress passed the Declaratory Judgment Act. We are a classic case. She said we haven't suffered any economic harm, and in our briefs we expressed to her, yes, we have. Farmers within our plaintiff group have suspended growing crops like organic corn, organic canola, and organic soybeans because of this certainty that they will be contaminated by Monsanto seed being grown by their neighbors.
The judge actually acknowledged that this contamination is going to occur, but then for whatever reason she did not make the connection that possession is the problem. Here's how patent law works: Once a corporation is given a patent on something — in this case, genetically engineered crops — they have total ownership of that material. The only way someone can be in possession of that is if they have signed a licensing agreement and paid royalty on that licensed right to use. It doesn't matter whether you intend to possess. It doesn't even matter whether you're knowledgeable of possession. If you are in possession without a licensing agreement, you are in violation of a patent right and you are subject to patent infringement violation. That's why we needed to go court. We have no protection.
The lawsuit seeks to invalidate Monsanto's patents on genetically altered seeds. That would protect farmers from patent infringement lawsuits, but how does it protect your crops from being contaminated by transgenic seeds?
Here's the situation right now: If our corn crop should become contaminated by Monsanto's corn, there is zero value in the organic market place for it. We might as well throw it away. So that's one immediate impact.
But if I should say, "Jeepers, this is threatening the survival of our farm. This corn seed crop is so important to us, and it wasn't right for them to trespass onto our farm. I'm going to get a lawyer and I'm going to file a lawsuit to try to recover damages." We are concerned that Monsanto will countersue us and say, "You've got our technology. You don't have permission to have our technology, and we're suing you for patent infringement." Then we go bankrupt trying to defend ourselves in this secondary lawsuit.
We believe that the contamination is occurring, and farmers are scared to death to seek compensation for fear they'll be countersued. Once we gain court protection under the Declaratory Judgment Act, we will have the legal tools that we need to properly get compensation if Monsanto hurts us.
Why should consumers be concerned about this?
The demand for organic food is steadily increasing. People are putting two and two together, and they're seeing that the food that they purchase is an important part of their family's well-being and health. So from the consumer's standpoint, this protection of farmers is essential to protecting their right of access to something besides genetically engineered foods.
There are campaigns around the country, including Maine, to require labeling of genetically engineered food. Why do you think mandatory labels are necessary? What don't consumers know about the food they are buying?
They don't know if it's been genetically engineered or not. National polling in the United States has consistently indicated that 90 percent of the American public favors mandatory labeling of GE crops — 90 percent! It goes across all party lines — Republicans, Democrats, independents are in favor of this. And why? It's because America is a democracy. Democracy is based on the idea of informed citizenry making the best decisions. To deny that kind of information to Americans is un-American and it's outrageous. Over fifty countries, including China, have mandatory GMO labeling, but in America, which prides itself on being the world's leading democracy, we don't. What's going on?
We have caloric intake on the labels. We have "be careful peanuts may have been used in this" labels. Many other things are on the labels. Many of us have concerns about genetically engineered foods. In September, scientists at CRIIGEN (Committee for Research and Independent Information on Genetic Engineering) published the results of a two-year study, which found that rats fed a diet of Roundup-resistant corn or water containing Roundup [at levels permitted in drinking water and GM crops in the United States] developed increased amounts of cancerous tumors and had shortened lifespans. Here is the real interesting thing to me: The rats started to express these problems four months into the study. The studies that biotech submits to the FDA are based on ninety-day tests.
Here's another important thing to remember: When the biotech industry goes to the FDA, they say their crops are substantially equivalent to traditional crops and for that reason we shouldn't label them. Then the industry goes to the U.S. Patent Office and says, you know, this invention we have here is new and wonderful, it's different, and it deserves a patent. Which is it? Either it's new and different and deserving of a patent, in which case it must be labeled, or it's substantially equivalent and in that way not deserving of a patent.
How prevalent are genetically engineered crops in Maine?
There are about 25,000 acres of genetically engineered corn grown primarily in the dairy belt in central Maine. There are GMO soybeans, and there is some GMO canola being grown up here in Aroostook County. Sugar beets are another crop that has been made resistant to Roundup, and I would imagine they're making their way into Maine, but I have not heard any numbers. That's one of the problems: There is no requirement for farmers growing GMO crops to let their neighbors know or to file a report to the state. Since the crops look the same, you don't know if one is GMO or not. That doesn't seem fair. It seems reasonable that they should have to register so a neighbor could find out what's going on in their vicinity.
Currently there aren't any genetically engineered varieties of potatoes, which are one of Maine's biggest crops. Why is that?
Interestingly, genetically engineered potatoes were one of the first crops that were introduced in the mid-1990s by Monsanto. They called the product New Leaf. They had gene-sliced a bacterial toxin into a potato plant. The target insect was the Colorado potato beetle, a serious insect that plagues potatoes in every temperate potato-producing region in the world. The idea was that the bug would eat it and it would die. One of the two New Leaf seed potato propagation facilities was here in Maine, in Island Falls, so this was a big area for producing that early generation stock, and the crops were planted here.
After five or six years, New Leaf potatoes were withdrawn from the market. The problem is, when you gene-splice, it's not like the bacterial toxin stops at the leaf and doesn't go through the stem and tuber. Every single cell, including those in the tuber, had that bacterial toxin. As you might imagine, there was concern among the public — do we really want to be eating this? In the early 2000s McDonald's announced it would no longer be buying French fries made with New Leaf potatoes. Then McCain, the local French fry processor, stopped using GMO potatoes, and Monsanto voluntarily removed them from the market.
Here's something illuminating: Under Maine law, Monsanto was required to register those potatoes as a pesticide with the Maine Board of Pesticides Control. It met the legal definition of a pesticide, even though it was a potato that people were supposed to have confidence eating.
Do you find that Mainers are generally well informed about food quality and choices?
More so than other parts of the country, partly because we have a rural heritage and many people still have gardens. But there also has been a growing interest in food across the country in the last ten to twenty years. In the fifties and sixties, people got into the convenience of having the food prepared in the factory. Now the pendulum is swinging. People want to know more about their food. They've made the connection between their family's health and the food they consume.
Small family farms are on the rise in Maine. Do they stand to benefit if the labeling of transgenic foods become law?
Oh, absolutely, absolutely. You know, I don't want to feed GMOs to my family. The corporations like them because they control the seed supply and they gain royalty payments every time a farmer uses their seed. But from the standpoint of an organic farmer or a consumer who wants access to good food, GMO foods have not been proven to be safe.
As for the growth of small farms and farmers' markets, it's all tied together with the increased interest in food and eating healthy. We're a seed company, and the last five years have been the best years for the seed industry going back to World War II. More people are planting gardens, and people who already had gardens are doubling their size. These are good traditional Maine and New England values, the idea of self-reliance, cutting your own firewood, growing your own garden, making do for yourself.
For decades the numbers of farms in every state was going down, down, down. We have turned that around, and Maine is toward the top in terms of the number of new farms. These new farmers are the people you see at the farmers' markets in Portland, Yarmouth, and other places. They're highly educated, and they've decided they want a life with meaning. My wife and I came to that conclusion thirty-five years ago: This is a great place and a great way to raise our kids. We're in wonderful rural communities with wonderful hardworking neighbors. There's so much going for it that I think these young people are making the choice to farm in Maine because it's a great life.

Morning, Dani!
hahahahaha!(Rob's "Dad")
Dani, you're the best (and Goz, too; you make the best team).
Thanks for posting these. Glad Rob's got a warm coat...It's 20 degrees this morning with light snow...
And he looks so thin. Needs to bulk up with some of those Hot Pockets. - November 20, 2008 at 9:14 AM
- Kate said...
I'm beginning to really want to have a hot pocket (I've never had one) from all the talk of them LOL
I thought he looked really cold and tired in the top pics but hopefully soon he'll have the rest he deserves!
Thanks for posting ladies ;-) - November 20, 2008 at 9:37 AM
just an observation - wasn't he wearing the same clothes the night he went out with his sister and nikki reed? he probably went straight to the airport after his night out with his friends :)

Did ye see over on RPO that there was a rumour going around that ROb had died last night :-0
What type of a sicko starts these rumours, honestly, someone who must have nothing better to do with their time.
Well I'm delighted and relieved to see it was SO not true and that ROb is alive and well.
I maybe in a bad mood for the rest of the day!! People who do things like that make me SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - November 20, 2008 at 9:44 AM
- Ellie said...
I took a second look at the photos, you're right. The coat's long, but not too warm, after all.
Hot Pockets are pretty good...I like the 4 cheese pizza ones! Yummy!
(of course, they've probably got a gazillion calories in them...) - November 20, 2008 at 9:47 AM

what did everyone think of the today interview? i wasn't thrilled with meredith's questions.
kate- that is so sad. i just have no words. people need better hobbies than faking celebrity deaths via internet! - November 20, 2008 at 10:13 AM
- MiCh said...
Wow, I've been gone for almost a day buying Radiohead's tickets and suffering pre-employment medical tests, but you girls have really had a wonderful night/day here! 180 comments in a thread, amazing! That's one of the many reasons I love this blog!
Is it wrong to say that I'am a bit saddened for almost getting a new job because it involves less time to spend with you? Snif..
And now.. can I point out the 12 hours and 35 minutes to get the 2 hours of ROB? I can't believe that today is THE DAY! - November 20, 2008 at 10:26 AM

You're right, Mona (good morning, by the way, honey)--At first I thought he said, "My friend from England" and then I backed it up again and heard "Dean".

LMAO at the "Dad" comment!
Good Morning, Ladies.
Rob looks COLD and skinny. Poor baby. - November 20, 2008 at 11:00 AM
- dana_1779 said...
Rob said the name of one of his bodyguards on The Today Show. Was that the same one who everyone thought was his dad?
OOhh and is that a little sex hair I see? - November 20, 2008 at 11:13 AM
- Pretty0k (Rose) said...
Just watched the TODAY show clip. Such a difference in demeanor between Kristen and Robert.
I don't understand why they have to make them go outside and face the screaming throngs again.
Haven't they had enough of that in the last weeks? - November 20, 2008 at 11:16 AM
- k said...
dana- (btw, that pic of you & your son is so darling it makes me smile every time i see it!)- i think this was a different bodyguard. the other one from the premiere was younger.
my cousin was a bodyguard in LA. for years. damn- i wish he still worked out there! i might have some kind of "in." :) - November 20, 2008 at 11:16 AM
- Dani said...
I too read the rumors someone started about Rob dying of an overdose or something. People are really sick Im not going to post anything about the rumor on here but people are really sick and twisted.

- MiCh said...
K - Yes, only 11 hours and 45 minutes for Twilight! In Mexico we'll have the movie at 10.00pm (CST), so I guess we'll be the very first ones to watch it!
I'm going with two friends and my roommate.. we've been texting each others all the week counting down the hours for the movie! - November 20, 2008 at 11:16 AM
- dana_1779 said...
K- thanks! Is that your little munckin and you in your picture? I love the chubby cheeks. My son and daughter have both got them just like me. Such good cheeks to pinch. Speaking of cheeks I know someone elses I'd like to give a little pinch and they aren't on his face...
- November 20, 2008 at 11:20 AM
- k said...
dana- yep, that's me and my lili. she's 5 years old now though. but i love that old pic. reminds me of when she used to pay attention to me! lol
>Speaking of cheeks I know someone elses I'd like to give a little pinch and they aren't on his face...<
you bad girl! i've never had any thoughts like that. i love him for his talent. :) - November 20, 2008 at 11:25 AM
- ForeverEB said...
Morning all,
I'm dying to watch the Today show clip, but alas, my boss just got here. I'll sneak off at lunch into a conference room and watch it.
I can't believe someone started such an awful rumour. That's just horrible.
Dana - yes... pinchable cheeks indeed.... hmmmm. - November 20, 2008 at 11:26 AM
- k said...
good morning ForeverEB!- you're not missing much with the today clip. rob has some adorable moments but mostly i think everyone who's seen it was wishing for better questions.
and, since i'm new on here- i need info on that photo of you & rob!!!!! - November 20, 2008 at 11:28 AM
- k said...
dana- here is a current pic of my daughter posing in front of something i think you'll recognize! my 2 fave things in one pic!

What? ROb died?! Few days ago was a rumor tha Miley was died, they told her in an interview...
stupid people
so the brown coat is back:) - November 20, 2008 at 11:59 AM
- Emily said...
I agree that this interview was a let down. Nothing but the same old questions. Rob's face is gorgeous, however, while he is watching Kristen answer a question (5:05-5:30). That stare is intense! "That's a very backhanded compliment!"
I was so annoyed when they took them outside. I laughed when Rob said, "People are literally going to freak out when we go outside. You do realize that, right?" He probably didn't think that people could still hear him.
It looked so cold and poor Rob and Kristen have been screamed at enough. 7:30 am is way too early to hear shrieks like that. That girl at 8:30 made me cringe. What a spazz. I bet she's kicking herself now for acting like an idiot. Not that I could have formed a coherent sentence either, but I probably would have just kept my mouth shut.
Sorry, that's probalby mean of me. - November 20, 2008 at 12:00 PM
- Dani said...
Em I agree I cannot believe they made them go outside in the damn cold ass weather and in what Kristen was wearing too...like hello people the fans are going to flip haven't you been watching the news!?
- November 20, 2008 at 12:04 PM
- ~mm said...
My heart is breaking for him. I don't see a smile in any of these pics; not even a glimmer. How soon can he leave for London. He needs some "normal" down-time with his own peeps.
- November 20, 2008 at 12:06 PM
- Kate said...
You guys have got to look at this it made me laugh so much
Oh it has nothing to do with Rob BTW but it is funny (or at least I thought it was) and I wanted to share it with ye.
Now don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to the movie as much as all of you even if I do have to wait another 28 days 6 hours and 5 mins !!!!!! - November 20, 2008 at 12:08 PM
- Amy said...
Hey Girls!!
He will be in London before December 3rd. That is the date of the UK premiere so I'm sure he will get there a few days before that.
Also, I was checking out some more reviews just cause I like reading them and these few lines caught my attention...
"Falling in Love with Love, Again. Twilight also observes movie laws as aged as Edward, who was initiated into the realm of the undead in 1918. Defiantly old-fashioned, the film wants viewers to believe not so much in vampires as in the existence of an anachronistic movie notion: a love that is convulsive and ennobling. Bella could be any Hollywood heroine in love with a good boy whom society callously misunderstands. She's Natalie Wood to Edward's James Dean (in Rebel Without a Cause) or Richard Beymer (in West Side Story). Cathy, meet Heathcliff. Juliet, Romeo. This brand of fervid romance packed 'em in for the first 60 years of feature films, then went nearly extinct, replaced by the young-male fetishes of space toys and body-function humor. Twilight says to heck with that. It jettisons facetiousness for a liturgical solemnity, and hardware for soft lips. It revives the precept that there's nothing more cinematic than a close-up of two beautiful people about to kiss."
And then this for Catherine and the 'build up'...
"Hardwicke, who directed the teen outsider films Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown and The Nativity Story (another fable about a special girl with a condition that's hard to explain), is no great shakes as an auteur. She dawdles in sketching Bella's high school chums, and her direction of the dialogue will often bore those who aren't mouthing it from memory as the actors speak it. But she chose her leads wisely: the pretty Stewart is a questioning, questing presence; the Brit Pattinson, a sensitive-stud dreamboat. And Hardwicke is faithful to the book's chaste eroticism. The couple must put off having sex because, well, it could kill Bella. (aids metaphors are unavoidable here.) Yet waiting has its own delicious tension."
And I love this,
"So Twilight isn't a masterpiece — no matter. It rekindles the warmth of great Hollywood romances, where foreplay was the climax and a kiss was never just a kiss." - November 20, 2008 at 12:14 PM
- lynnguys said...
Good morning, all! Wow, Rob got to leave 80 degree weather to brave it with Kristen and Meredith Vieira, the Nazistic cold weather sadist. What the hell! I think that making them go outside was just torture!
Dani---I am still smiling while watching that LAX vid....Rob's skinny butt is making me wild!
Woo-hoo! I cannot wait for tonight! - November 20, 2008 at 12:17 PM
- Ellie said...
Amy-- NICE ending for that review. It's something we all already knew! ;)
- November 20, 2008 at 12:19 PM
- Dani said...
Lovely review!
He is probably not smiling because he is freezing his balls off in NYC its extreemly cold there!
Im happy that he has a warm coat though, he does love his jackets. Lionel complex again. - November 20, 2008 at 12:20 PM
- lynnguys said...
Dani--Linus complex noted...holy shit, it looks cold! It's 61 degress outside at 9:22 and it's like an Artic tundra to us. I can only imagine how Kristen and Rob were feeling.
- November 20, 2008 at 12:23 PM
- Ellie said...
The weather out here is 37 degrees, but feels like 32...Snow flurries as well.Yes, said balls must be frozen stiff.
Afternoon, Lynn (well, afternoon for me, anyway--) - November 20, 2008 at 12:27 PM
- Dani said...
Ellie! "frozen stiff" HEELLLEEEW! ROB!
- November 20, 2008 at 12:30 PM
- lynnguys said...
Good morning, Ellie! 37 degrees? Oh, I just feel for you guys out there....our high today will be in the low 70's and we are actually crossing our fingers for some cold for next week.
- November 20, 2008 at 12:31 PM
- Kate said...
Oh Amy that review is brilliant!!
Thanks for posting - November 20, 2008 at 12:31 PM
- Amy said...
Isn't it great! BTW, that review was from TIME magazine.
Honestly I usually don't give an F about what critics think regarding films because in reality their overall opinions really don't matter and will not make any difference on how much money this film brings in or it's popularity. But I do like when some of them actually step back and view it for what it is and reference the leads (Rob and Kris) to some of the greats of old Hollywood. That is always a positive thing in my book! Also, you don't see amazing chemistry much anymore in films and any actors who can pull that off and carry a movie or series together - that is something special :) - November 20, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Morning Ladies!
Rob was also on KROQ in LA this morning via telephone. Didn't matter because there were STILL girls outside when the jocks showed up for work they were like "Its by phone we swear he's not even here!!"
Didn't matter to them his voice was coming through the wire behind thier building LOL.
Nothing new in the interview other than they told him they heard he was doing Tyra ( they HATE her ) And informed him WHY would he do that show
SHE IS THE DEVIL!!! He said "But its my favorite show"
Oh and he's glad that he's going back to London so he can avoid any fan backlash. - November 20, 2008 at 12:33 PM
- lynnguys said...
Amy---lovely review! I love the positive!
Was I the only one that snickered at the Mary reference...sorry but it was funny. - November 20, 2008 at 12:35 PM
Oh and about the photos we should take up a collection for a new laptop bag. I think he must of lost the strap because he had it in Mexico now he's having to carry it around everywhere! : )
- November 20, 2008 at 12:35 PM
- lynnguys said...
Lisa---I love hearing Rob's voice on the radio and KROQ is brilliant. I love it when he breathes heavily through his nose...phone sex much?
- November 20, 2008 at 12:37 PM
- lynnguys said...
Lisa---strap and a belt! Otherwise, Rob will have many more mooning incidents!
- November 20, 2008 at 12:38 PM
- Ellie said...
"phone sex much?" hahaha...I wish it were with ME!!!!!!!!
- November 20, 2008 at 12:38 PM
- Amy said...
Lisa, he does need a new laptop bag!!! I'll go in on that, haha
That boy needs a lot of stuff. Let's hope he gets it at Christmas :) - November 20, 2008 at 12:39 PM
- lynnguys said...
Alright, I meant a computer bag with a strap and a belt for his trousers...strap and belt sounded a little S&M with Rob in the sentence.
- November 20, 2008 at 12:39 PM
- Amy said...
It's so funny how after looking at pictures of him you just want to go out and buy him all these things...lol
- November 20, 2008 at 12:40 PM
- Amy said...
Oh Lynn :D
- November 20, 2008 at 12:41 PM
- Ellie said...
I love all these comments..everyone's so giddy today...any guess why??? lol
- November 20, 2008 at 12:41 PM
- Ellie said...
And yes, sometimes our boy seems so needy in a lot of areas. Food, shelter, clothing. How about we take turns taking care of him? Me first...
- November 20, 2008 at 12:44 PM
- lynnguys said...
Giddy for Twilight tonight! I am still smiling about the LAX vid clip...vunerablity and ROb butt all in one shot...I am BAD!
- November 20, 2008 at 12:45 PM
HAHA strap and a belt those were good thoughts!!
I can't believe its finally here!! I kind of feel weird though. You know like when you get close to the end in a really good book and you want to finish it so bad to see what happens but then you don't-- you want to prolong it because you don't want it to end. That's how I feel right now.
I'm seeing it Sat @ 5 in Sherman Oaks with a Q&A with Catherine hopefully she may have news about sequels!! - November 20, 2008 at 12:45 PM
- lynnguys said...
Lisa---Ohhh, you're going to the Q&A? I would love to see CH in person. Sherman Oaks is a bit of a stretch for me....I love LA, but I let my friends do the driving. We did Hollywood last week and that was enough.
- November 20, 2008 at 12:48 PM
Lynn yeah I'm sorta forcing my husband and 13 year old son to go with me. None of my friends or family care just me My 8 year old daughter is SOOO over my Twilight Obsession. When Rob was on KROQ this AM She came into the kitchen and I'm like SUSHHH Rob's talking!! LOL She rolled her eyes at me :P
- November 20, 2008 at 12:56 PM
- lyla said...
I agree with all you ladies that the Today show interview was sort of a letdown. And I was so annoyed on their behalf when they had to go outside! But I did think it was adorable when Rob started humming when he got up to go outside. Even his hum was deep, sexy, and crooning.
Lynn - Bite your tongue! :) A belt would mean no more Rob moonage, and let's be honest, we all enjoy a quick glance of his cute little buns every now and then. It's a delightful sight.
Amy - That was a fantastic review! Thank you for sharing - and you are right, I love it when critics go into a film with the right mindset, and view the film objectively. Rob and Kristen sure seem to be getting wonderful reviews! - November 20, 2008 at 1:07 PM
- k said...
amy- love that review. and lisa- can't wait to hear all about he q&a. i just adore catherine. love how she's all giddy like us.
- November 20, 2008 at 1:08 PM
- dana_1779 said...
k- i just looked at your picture of your daughter. What an adorable little girl and she must be a genius to already be taking a liking to Twilight and our Rob.

I love his brown coat. He looks cold, but amazing..
WTH someone started a death rumor about Rob?

The Maya Biosphere Reserve is a rainforest stronghold for jaguars, pumas, scarlet macaws, and howler monkeys. During the Northern Hemisphere winter, millions of migratory birds also take shelter here. The reserve is situated at the heart of the Selva Maya, a forested area that spans neighboring portions of Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico. It serves as a critical watershed for the surrounding communities and as a major carbon sink for the entire planet. As the epicenter of the ancient Maya civilization from 350 B.C. to 900 A.D., the forest's 200 archaeological sites draw tourists from around the world, bringing much needed revenue.
At their last remaining stronghold in Guatemala, scarlet macaw chicks are getting a head start with the help of WCS conservationists. The researchers monitor the critically endangered birds' nests and habitat in the forests of El Peru, and care for vulnerable chicks at a field station until they are old enough to be released back into the wild.
Threats loom within Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve, a vast natural sanctuary that protects more than 5 million acres. Jaguars, pumas, monkeys, and tapirs are some of the species fighting to survive in a place jeopardized by drug cartels, illegal logging, and commercial hunting.
After last year's successful scarlet macaw nesting season in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, which produced a bumper crop of 29 new fledglings, WCS conservationists like Melvin Merida, a field veterinarian, are hoping to continue the upward trend for the critically endangered parrots.
WCS conservationists in Guatemala are using a swanky scent to lure jaguars and other endangered wildlife toward motion-sensitive cameras that snap photos of the animals as they pass by. The photos help researchers estimate population numbers for these shy species.

Cameron M. Barrett '95 and Rahsaan K. Harris '95, Co-Class Agents
It is not unusual for co-class agents to confer, discuss their Annual Giving goals, and plan strategy. Cameron Barrett and Rahsaan Harris, however, have raised the bar for a class agency cooperative enterprise and just plain togetherness: they were tent mates on a recent mountaineering expedition to the 19,341-foot peak of Tanzania's Mt. Kilimanjaro.

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Accord Round Bar Stool Cushion:
I use them on two kitchen stools. I have never found nicer covers- they are comfy and are good quality.
Great Cushion
By Nando
from New England
This is a great bar stool cushion. The picture on the site doesn't do the product justice. I took a gamble on buying this and I'm glad I did. The cushion is thick, very comfortable, and has a non-slip backing and elastic cover on the bottom to wrap around the stool. It's also made in the USA, which was a great surprise.
Just what I was looking for
By Kitchen Lover

I slipped on these cushions, and they fit perfectly and made a distinct difference in the style of the bar stools, their comfort, and the overall look of the room.
Would buy again!
By linleenew

Nice Cushion
By MJ
from Reno, NV
Bought this cushion for a stool hubby uses at his workbench. Just the right amount of cushioning and fits snug on top of stool so does not interfere with twirling movement of stool.

Preview Plan - $102 (15%)

Which Plan Is Best for Me?
My schedule is crazy -- I can't pick dates now. The Flex-Tix plan is designed just for you. You can attend any performance (except Opening Night). We'll email and call you before the show opens to remind you to pick a date.
I want to spread my entertainment dollar around. The Midweek plan is perfect for you. Attend the play on a Wednesday or Thursday -- the best value in professional live theatre in town.
I like I to save money. The Preview plan lets you attend the final dress rehearsals before opening. See the show before the reviews come out.
I'd like to meet the cast for each show. Our Opening Night plan includes an post-show reception where you get to meet the cast following the performance. This plan is very limited and sells out each year.

For more information, read the article Controlling Aphids.
Recently, I was growing some basil in our testing lab. When I came in after the weekend, I noticed that the plants in several of our containers were infested with aphids, but the basil that I had planted in a windowbox with marigolds were aphid-free.
I had always heard that marigolds repel aphids, but now I know it first-hand to be true.

garden shed Smartly written post and lovely marigolds. Perfect!

turtleknoll.blogspot.com I put marigolds all around my vegetable garden b/c they really do help to repel aphids along with other bugs. There is a cream variety that is really pretty and grows crazy!
