Rated 4 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Tikiti Love the boots, received non-fitting bolo tie I ordered these boots in brown and they are fantastic. The distressing gives them a lived-in look and the boot portion is exactly as shown. I also loved that the soles were leather, but they had already added a thin rubber sole saver. It was really a nice touch. Unfortunately, the bolo ties I received don't fit the boot. They are not large enough to go around the boot twice like they do in the picture, but they are just long enough to drag on the ground, make a lot of noise, and render them not wearable with the boot. Maybe I just received the wrong ones? Hopefully Free People can rectify, because the tie is the accessory portion that would elevate the look to perfect. 12.10.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ta_08 effortlessly cool! These boots are amazing. The leather is perfectly worn in, though not as dark black as the picture, but still great. I can even fit my skinny jeans over them or tuck them in. I am usually an 8 in boots and these are a little roomy but if I wear thicker socks they'll be just fine. The bolo ties wrap around just once and just skim the floor but they make the look. All around, coolest boots. 1.18.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by chicwoman love them! I love this "Jethro style" boot, got the brown. The biggest plus is the comfort level and the quality of the leather. But I was also bummed, because I received short leather ties that fit the boot only once around, not doubled wrapped as pictured. The saving grace about them they look just as good without any ties. But gave 4 stars because what you get should be what is pictured!! 12.13.2012

ELIZABETHTON — The final portions of a $20 million bond issue to rebuild all nine Elizabethton Electric Department substations will soon be used up, leading the Elizabethton City Council to authorize the expenditure of $439,511 out of the current operational budget to finish the final portions of the major project.
The council approved the funding change during its monthly meeting Thursday, but Councilman Richard Tester asked Finance Director and interim City Manager Jerome Kitchens to provide more explanation.
The last remaining projects of the effort to upgrade the electric department's 50-year-old infrastructure was to provide new wiring in the Rome Hollow and Sandy Bottom areas to enable the carrying of larger loads and to install fiber optics to five substations.
Most of the expense for the in-house projects has already been paid for out of the current operational budget and no adverse affects on cash flow are anticipated.
The reason for the change from funding the projects with bond revenue is that the final substation project cost more than anticipated because in the final review and design of the existing components it was determined that several more needed to be replaced. Gary McGill, the consulting engineer, said the low bid of $1.14 million "reflects the fair value of this project."
The bid by single-source supplier Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories also came in higher than anticipated, at $486,308, for the Supervisory Control and Data System. Part of the reason was the need for interfacing with Tennessee Valley Authority control systems within the substation and the need for TVA to keep its portion of the substation energized throughout the construction.
In other matters, the council agreed to fine five beer permit holders after employees had been found selling alcohol to a minor during a police sting. One other permit holder agreed to a three-day suspension of his license.

It smells wonderful
It smells great and its light and soaks into your skin.
By Katherine on September 10, 2013
Smells nice, but wont ever use it again!
I love the smell of this and wanted to like it, but it really irritates my skin. If it comes in contact anywhere near my eyes forget it, they turn into a veritable endless waterfall. I've never had this kind of reaction to any moisturizer I've used before so it must be that it's overly essential oil scented. I've also found in the short amount of time that I used it that my usually dry, clear skin has broken out quite significantly.
By Kimberly on July 3, 2013
Only Moisturizer I Can Use on My Face!
I have been using the Intelligent Nutrients Moisturizer on my face for over a year now and I absolutely love it. This is the only moisturizer that I can use on my face that does not break out my skin. It is lightweight and just sinks right in. I love that it has good for you ingredients and is USDA certified organic too!

Middleweight Rafael "Sapo" Natal (17-4-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) is the winner of the Tim Kennedy (16-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) opponent sweepstakes at "UFC Fight Night 31: UFC Fight for the Troops 3." UFC officials today announced the switch.
Kennedy was left without an opponent when Lyoto Machida was summoned to fight Mark Munoz at UFC Fight Night 30. Rather than wait for a new opponent, he began calling out middleweights on Twitter.
Just about every active middleweight, to be exact.
Brazilian Natal was on that list, of course, and Kennedy messaged an enticement to fight.
As it turns out, the UFC was following Kennedy's feed. The soldier now meets the submission specialist at the Nov. 6 event, which takes place at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Kennedy, a former Strikeforce title challenger, is expected to keep his headliner status on the main card, which airs live on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook."Opportunity knocks @rafaelsaponatal," he wrote. "You always win, but no one knows who you are. When I'm done with you, neither will you(Tough guy voice)"
In July, Kennedy made his octagon debut against submission specialist Roger Gracie and won an unspectacular decision. He was briefly linked to a fight with Vitor Belfort before getting assigned to Machida."I love that I'm fighting a guy with beautiful bronze skin," Kennedy told MMAjunkie.com. "He looks dashing regardless of what he's wearing. Because of that I hate him. I will have to destroy a beautiful thing."
Natal, who's won his past three in the UFC, most recently outpointed Tor Troeng at UFC Fight Night 28 and was scheduled to fight Ed Herman next month at UFC 167. Herman's is still expected to fight at the event but will wait on a new foe.
Machida stepped in for an injured Michael Bisping, who suffered a detached retina in training for the fight. The ex-champ is coming off a controversial decision loss to Phil Davis, while Munoz recently outpointed Tim Boetsch.

Brushing your teeth is one of the many steps that people take each day to take care of their oral health. People are taught from a very young age to brush their teeth twice a day among other things that can keep their teeth healthy and strong, and their smiles beautiful. What many people don't know is that many of the ingredients that are in some toothpaste can be really bad for you.
Did you know that many of these ingredients are the same ones that are used in rat poisons? Many of the chemicals and toxins are linked to blindness, cancer and death. Have you ever noticed that there are warnings on toothpaste boxes that state that state the danger to small children? If what you are using to brush your teeth isn't harmful then why is there a warning? If you are looking for the best whitening toothpaste or toothpaste with natural ingredients, try KeepWhite.com website, b/c they offer a lot of info about that.
Sodium Fluoride
This ingredient is the main ingredient of most name brand toothpaste and mouthwash. The fluoride craze began back in the 40s, and many still get fluoride treatments and use fluoride toothpaste that contains it. Sodium fluoride can be very dangerous to children and youth yet many popular brands of toothpaste contain enough of it to kill a small child in 2-4 hours if enough is ingested.
It may be shocking to know that sodium fluoride is the ingredient used in rat and roach poison, as well as being a key ingredient in Sarin Nerve Gas, hypnotic and psychiatric drugs as well. The FDA has never approved sodium fluoride, but most consumers don't know this. In addition it's starting to look like this ingredient, pushed heavily by dentists, that is supposed to "fight cavities" is now being linked to causing dental deformities and allergic reactions as well.
Artificial Dyes and Colorings
You may have noticed FD & C Blue Dyes 1 & 2 listed in the ingredients in your favorite toothpaste. These dyes have been associated with behavioral, health and learning problems. In addition, headaches, nausea, nervousness, lack of concentration and other issues have been linked as well.
Even though the toothpaste is not supposed to be swallowed, the dyes can be absorbed in mere seconds through the mucous membranes of the mouth and the skin on the lips. Since the membranes inside the mouth are known to have the absorbency efficiency rate of 90%. This means that these harmful dyes as well as the other harmful ingredients can get into your cells and your brain very rapidly. Considering that most people use their toothpaste 2-3 times a day and possibly mouthwash too, exposure to these harmful dyes adds up.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate – aka SLS
This is by far, the most dangerous of all of the ingredients that are being listed here. SLS is used in garage floor cleaners, soaps used for washing vehicles and even degreasers. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also a primary testing ingredient for skin irritants as it has been shown to be very corrosive to the skin.
Laboratories are using SLS to irritate the skin so they can come up with healing products that can get rid of the irritated skin. If this ingredient is so toxic that it harms the skin, what is it doing to the extremely sensitive membranes of your mouth? If you take care about you health, we recommend you to find a sls free toothpaste.
Sadly, this ingredient is also used in baby "no tears" shampoo and has been linked to affecting the development of children's eyes as well as to causing cataracts in adults.
Labeled as a dangerous pesticide by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Triclosan has been said to not only being a hazard to the health of humans but the environment also. This chemical that is used often for the antibacterial properties it contains is used in many detergents and popular toothpastes.
One of the phenols, Triclosan is a chlorophenol, a specific class of chemicals that has been suspected of causing cancer, non painful skin irritations, and if taken internally can cause convulsions, cold sweats and in some cases coma and death.
Hydrated Silica
This popular whitener and abrasive is made from a compound that is found in such stones as flint, sand and quartz. This substance can wear down the enamel on the tooth causing damage to the teeth and eventually the gums with prolonged use. Users may notice that their gums or tongue will feel sore or the gums may even bleed a little after brushing with toothpaste with hydrated silica in it.
If you already have tooth decay or receding gums, it is in your best interest not to use products that contain silica and cellulose in them. These two ingredients have been purported to also alter the acidic balance of your gums, mouth and tongue.
The health of your teeth and gums are important and there are other alternatives to using the traditional toothpaste with these harmful ingredients in them. If you've noticed that you get a lot of sores in your mouth, or that your mouth feels tender and sore, you may look to the ingredients in your toothpaste and mouthwash as a potential cause.

Wedding Ideas For Stephanie
I've got almost 2 years (I think) to plan my wedding so I'm literally just gathering ideas and having fun playing around with what I like or don't like. SO I figured there will be people on here who've been to weddings, had their own or just like the idea of this magical time and would like to throw ideas at me. I have some....but I'd like to idk just talk about it lol.
This will be a freestanding thread for a while to update people on stuff and to help me get ideas. I'm kinda stressed about the thought of being in front of so many people and I just pray I don't fall lol. Kinda hard to wait two years but we'll see what happens.

RE: Wedding Ideas For Stephanie
Ahh omg how did u know I want a disney themed wedding?
I'm considering beauty and the beast only the "mature" version.
I don't want it to look like I'm 12 so I'm planning (Michael agrees) to have things like:
A teapot and a chipped tea cup sitting on a table.
A candlestick somewhere else.
A clock
The centerpieces will be roses in either water/colored lights in the bottom of a glass with maybe a candle on top depending on what the rules are.
A lot of places won't allow real flower petals or lit candles.
I'd like some background music to be orchestrated music from the movie but nothing that sounds stupid.
I want a pretty chandelier(s) on the ceiling but I have a feeling that won't work.
I'm thinking a buffet style meal so that people don't feel odd having things brought to them and they can pick and choose what they like.
Apparently we're having alcohol at the wedding......I just want it low key and nobody being stupid and ruining my life/day.
Then obviously my dress will hopefully be inspired by the movie too.
Given the fact that I've got some crazy people in my life and because Michael's got some psychotic family members, I would like to have ticket/invite only at the door to make sure nobody weird comes in.
(Some people assume if they know the wedding date that they are invited as well and that's not gonna flow with me.)
idk I try not to be too too picky but I just have a few ideas that I think I should go into this having because most planners don't really want to help if u don't have some basic ideas.

That's the one. There's actually two I want to try on and see which I like the best from the Belle choices. I just wasn't posting it in case Michael found it which I doubt he will. Oh God I'd never get a costume lol. That would be like halloween haha

Ew... yeah that's not exactly my thing to make a complete idiot out of the both of us. The dress is from the Alfred Angelo collection and it's not horribly priced I don't think. I believe it's 1200-1300. Not cheap AT ALL but if my focus is on spending the most on maybe food, venue and outfitting everyone then honestly I could careless about flowers, decorations, and the stuff that nobody notices. That's why I want to make/buy a lot of it myself and try to get good deals. Michael put his foot down to the whole Beast thing. Said I can do what I want as long as it's not immature and stupid looking lol.

Honestly everything.
We aren't even getting married til probably 2015. It's kinda based on when Michael finally gets financially stable, gets a job he actually can live with and they won't push him around and lie to him. Major thing is when I get into nursing is when we can start to make concrete ideas of a time frame. Right now I STILL think 2015 but I have a feeling it might be pushed up a little because we don't want to wait...but might have to.
I'm just literally playing with ideas that I like and what I want. Michael hasn't even thought about who's going to be in his side of the wedding let alone what centerpieces or music he wants. He'll probably plan 4 days before and be like "Oh...well I want this" AFTER I've already got everything figured out.
I see so much drama with my friend's planning their weddings I literally just want to get married in some far away place and only invite those who matter. Nothing like hearing all ur engaged friends hating their family and their fiance's family and everything about the wedding that makes u just want to put it off for as long as possible.

RE: Wedding Ideas For Stephanie
I think anyone that has really set ideas for their wedding should wait until they are financially stable. After all if you cannot commit to keeping a job or whatever how can you possibly commit to someone else.
I love the idea of the Beauty and The Beast theme, there are so many ways you can do it without it being like a 12 year old too.
The best thing to do is work out a budget for your wedding and tailor your ideas to that.

It's not the most popular Google service, but Google Realtime is useful as an alternative to Twitter's search engine. The service is no longer available at the moment, the "Realtime" option disappeared from Google's sidebar and google.com/realtime returns a 404 error. Google says that this is just temporary. "We've temporarily disabled google.com/realtime. We're exploring how to incorporate our recently launched Google+ project into this functionality going forward, so stay tuned."
Google+ doesn't offer a search feature for messages yet, but it should be available soon. It's strange to see that Google had to disable a service to add support for a new site.
Search Engine Land also reports that Google's Wonder Wheel feature is no longer available. "[Google's] spokesperson said that the search tool was removed due to the 'initial stage' of the Google site redesign announced [last] week."
It's likely that both Google Realtime and Wonder Wheel had to be redesigned, but Google didn't want to delay the launch of the new interface until they're ready. When Google Instant was launched, many of the advanced features were not available, but some of them were added after a few weeks.
Update: The real explanation for shutting down Realtime Search is that Google's agreement with Twitter has expired, so Google no longer has access to the Firehose. "While we will not have access to this special feed from Twitter, information on Twitter that's publicly available to our crawlers will still be searchable and discoverable on Google," informed Google. That means Twitter will no longer have a privileged status and Realtime Search will become less useful. Microsoft and Yahoo still have access to Twitter's private APIs.

Genetically modified food
That is insanity. There's not even any labeling requirements. They can give us whatever they want.
The only way I know around it is to hunt the game behind my house and eat the wild vegetation, not really too feasible. You can't grow your own, the seeds you buy are modified. So many things we already consume are already modified, wheat being a prime example. Notice the rise in gluten free menu's lately? That's because the GM wheat is affecting more people with a propensity towards gluten intolerance. My own wife dropped gluten from her diet and she is looking and acting way healthier. I understand Europe is pulling GMO of their shelves. I dearly hope market forces prevail and stops the insanity. I don't know any way around this, as the food supply is managed by only a few companies.
I was curious as to what the international community thinks about this frightening subject. It negatively affects the health of each and every one of us in a major way.
Re: Genetically modified food
There are valid views both for & against GM food. It's worth bearing in mind that we've (collectively) been modifying all our food through selection for decades, so maybe GM is just a smarter shortcut extension of that. On the other hand, it's messing with stuff on a different level, & it's the unknown element that freaks most (including me) out.
I think the bigger concern is the level of mission creep, monopoly, & ludicrous belief in self regulation. The initial sales pitch on GM was to produce durable crops that could flourish in poor conditions, therefore feeding those typically most needy & exposed to frequent crop failures. That's cool :) Another "benefit" was the reduction of pesticides needed to ensure a good yield. Another cool goal.
Regrettably, although both of these aims are being satisfied to a minor degree, it's actually a massive commercial opportunity. These big companies are controlling the seed supply, so have most food production locked down.
Anyhow, I'm happy I live in a place where GM stuff is forbidden. Not only that, but a substantial portion of my area's food output is fully organic, & relating to meat, free range too. Believe it or not, because we source our food locally, it's actually cheaper than the big store stuff, & a big improvement in quality too.
Now I realise everyone can't live in the middle of nowhere, otherwise nowhere would become somewhere, but there are at least local production lessons to be learnt. I think GM stuff is better placed only where natural species cannot thrive, but I can't imagine that getting past the cash driven lobby system that applies in many countries somehow.
Re: Genetically modified food
As fellow Pennsylvania Larrys we're very much kindred spirits. Friggen GMO food and crops are forbidden in many countries. There was almost a war over GMOs in Italy a few years back I recall. No other country's government falls for the line of bullsh*t that Monsanto shovels except the good ol US of A. Politicians are literally bought and sold by Monsantos of the world. They even fight labeling!! Why? If GMOs are so safe like they say? Buying organic also help small family farmers in many cases, so that's where my money goes.
I read that 90% of US grown corn is genetically modified. And that the large majority of that GMO corn goes to feed livestock for meat consumption (why I'm also vegetarian for 20 years going now...). Hmmm...and Monsanto's first sang the praises of GMO seed because they wanted to be like Bob Geldof and "feed the world". Ha. Funny.
Re: Genetically modified food
Yea, they sell it as, Oh it will help feed the poor. Bull s**t. The supermarkets of the US aren't where the poor are. This is evil stuff. I'm hearing bad bad stories about the consumption of GM food. I also read stories about how they are modifying plants to produce their own natural insecticide. Bugs that eat these plants die. And we're supposed to eat this stuff. Natural weeds won't grow around these plants. I heard stories of them using animal genes in plants. That's dangerously insane. I heard a story where a farmer was growing a non GM crop that was near where Monsanto was growing a GM crop. Well the GM crop pollenated the non GM crop, Monsanto snuck into this guys field, took a sample of his crop, tested it, and sued him for patent infringement or some other damn thing. Unbelievable. He couldn't help that. The barn door is open. You can't unring that bell. I really think this is going to have dire consequences in the future. I envy you even more now Andy. Going vegetarian is no solution, if those crops are GM too.

Re: Genetically modified food
I'm buying more organic now that I can afford it. My guess is that it's higher quality food produced more ethically than GM, but in truth I don't know. You have all these claims and counter claims. Chances are that all of the claims for and against have a kernel of truth without telling the whole story, and often overstated. Pros and cons. Black, white and shades of grey. I suspect I have some food allergies and it may be gluten and sugar ... it seems I clog up after eating processed foods, but I'll need to go on an elimination diet to find out what's going on.
Ultimately almost nobody knows much about this stuff, and the voices of those who do are lost amongst all the hot air. People don't like to say they don't know something so they plump for a side that sits most comfortably with their political ideals, and then they have fierce arguments with other people who don't have a clue either. I'm not a scientist so I don't have the ability to parse all the info with any confidence. In that situation, I fall back on my old hippie ideals - peace & lurve, peace & lurve ...
So it's organic for me all the way, baybee! Some of it tastes better, some tastes the same. People say organic is overpriced BS but my guess is they know as much about organic growing as they do about GM, ie. enough to form an opinion, but not enough to form a valid opinion.
I am convinced that 99.99% of the participants in political debates know diddly about the subject matter. So I'm increasingly leaning towards the George Carlin approach - grab the popcorn and watch the show, which is preferable to despairing at our hubris, dishonesty and blinkered views. (I'd get GM popcorn, the organic stuff doesn't hit the spot - popcorn needs the salt and chemicals and stuff :)
Not dumping on people here, BTW. Just a general observation from reading news blogs.
// end blah
Re: Genetically modified food
I think it's wise to raise awareness. This is not something that can be easily avoided. The fact that there are no labeling requirements, and is a self policed industry, that raises the biggest red flag imaginable, at least in my mind. Eating organic...what if the seeds are from genetically modified stock, but it is raised organically? I don't consider that any safer.
Sticking our heads in the sand, yea, that's what we should do. Everyone knows that the people in control of this issue care about us more than profit, so we shouldn't be in any peril at all.
DMC, eat up bro, get your fill.
Re: Genetically modified food
Thing is, people are living longer and, let's face it, that's not good news for the human race (although pretty good for individuals if they don't finish with that slow, ghastly decline). Our activities would be more sustainable if a few billion people keeled over from dodgy corn. Bring it on ;-)
Good luck with the awareness, Larry. When it comes to bringing our corporate masters to heel you might as well spit on the towering inferno. When it comes to food I think you can do worse than making sure you listen to our body. Seems to me that the biggest food-based danger western people face is too much of it, and too much fatty and sugary pretend-food - the culinary equivalent of Rebecca Black.
Re: Genetically modified food
So you're for GM food I take it? You're either for, against, or indifferent. Doesn't it piss you off? It pisses me off on many different levels. The fact that we don't have a whole lot of choice in the matter is really troubling to me.
Re: Genetically modified food
I guess "indifferent" is closest, Larry. As I said, I don't know enough to form an opinion but, in principle, I agree with any stance against the level of control multinationals have over governments.
Thing is, we have no real ethical codes in this society so it's survival of the fittest. Religion failed to bring us ethics because it got sidetracked on reproduction and sexual politics.
The rich have the power to get more for themselves and, without ethical constraints, they take the logical course. It's good business, right? Remember how the triple bottom line was all the rage - corporate responsibility to the community? The competitive pressure of globalisation put paid to that.
It's all too big to influence. For decades polls have shown that a vast majority of Australians are fiercely against rapid population growth without adding the infrastructure to handle it, which of course diminishes our lifestyles. Yet each year the numbers increase, the traffic jams get worse, the queues longer, property prices the highest in the world ... yet high immigration numbers have bipartisan support and increased massively under both major parties. It makes the GDP look good and companies love it because it keeps wages down and increases demand, and developers love it because it pushes prices up.
So, in a country of 22 mill the views of, say, 15 mill make no difference. We had a demonstration with a quarter of a million people against the Iraq Things have gone beyond the point where people can make a difference - unless the media wants it to happen and starts campaigns, of course. Little people can only influence little things.

Re: Genetically modified food
Bottom line for me on this subject (and many others): I don't know.
That's the truth. There is so much bullshit to sort through, so many agendas, influence from special interest groups and reactionary responses ranging from panic all the way to apathy. It's really hard to separate the truth from the hysteria and partisan politics.
I wouldn't say I'm apathetic about it. I just don't have the time to work it all out. Between working a full-time job, family, paying the bills and trying to smooth out my flam drags, I'm never going to get to the objective "truth" about most issues.
I used to be pretty obsessive about nutrition and fitness. I haven't been, of late, mostly because of the demands of the job. Now that my work hours are a bit more sane than they've been over the past few years, I intend to get back on the straight and narrow.
When it comes to determining what's healthy, I go with my gut (no pun intended) and try to make healthy choices based on the cursory information I have. I've started paying more attention where I buy my food from. I grow vegetables in my own organic garden. I buy from local farmers who I know well enough to trust. That said, I do everything in moderation. I like the occasional coney island (sorry, Grea).
I don't inherently trust businesses to police themselves. That would be naive. But that goes for all kinds of businesses, not just the ones that produce food. Trying to keep track of all of it takes more time than I have.
Re: Genetically modified food
I didn't include nicotine in that list because it's so addictive only a very small minority of smokers are capable of using rather than abusing (due to the level of the CYP2A6 enzyme produced by a gene that most people have - and then you get those clowns who make out they're the bees' knees because they quit cold turkey - "It was easy!", but that's another story :)
I like the idea of this: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/ne...les-for-eating
Whenever you see a major industry that's self regulated you know they're too powerful for the government to touch. Naturally they will put themselves first, while claiming all their measures are win-win.
Re: Genetically modified food
I do believe there is evidence to support the claim that GMO's aren't as healthy. I buy organic, local, fair-trade, etc. almost always. I am mostly gluten, corn, and dairy free due to allergies.
Though I don't use it too much, I know http://www.naturalnews.com/ is a great site with plenty of input on the issue.

Re: Genetically modified food
I knew it. We're all going to die. Game over, man.
Re: Genetically modified food
Yay, collective paranoia about something 99.9% of people don't understand.
GM doesn't bother me at all as a concept, just like it doesn't bother me that we've ben genetically modifying food since the dawn of farming (through selective breeding, crossbreeding, etc). We're doing it directly on a genetic level now, but it's all still about messing with genes to produce a desired outcome.
If someone has actual evidence (peer reviewed research) that proves that some GM foods are dangerous, by all means present it, and I'll stay away from those foods in the future. However, I'm not buying into internet rumours about a huge and completely undefined range of commonly consumed products.
I'm not trying to come off as knowing better than anyone else here. I'm not a geneticist or scientist. I'm not making the claim that all GM foods are automatically great; I'm just saying that I trust evidence and science over rumours and paranoia. Every discussion I've seen about these things has always been a bunch of claims without a single source (by which I mean actual scientific sources, not articles on random websites).
There might very well be GM foods out there which are harmful (just like there are loads of natural foods out there that are harmful), but even that doesn't mean that all GM food is bad. Just like anything else, there are thousands and thousands of varieties, made through just as many different methods. There is just absolutely zero chance that they will all be harmful.
OK, this turned into a long post, so I'll just leave it with this: Definitely do your research and definitely cut out anything that you feel suspicious about or that tests have shown to be harmful. Just don't blindly buy into paranoia or conspiracy theories, and please don't help spread them. Make informed opinions, and once you have actual sources to cite you can start spreading those news and have them carry much more weight.
If you want to scare people away from certain foods, how about warning them about the well-documented dangers of things like transfats, corn syrup and processed sugar? How about alcohol? How about the simple fact that almost everyone in the western worlds eats way too much unhealthy food in general? A fatty burger with a bowl of fries and large milkshake can be 100% organic and still clog up your arteries.
Re: Genetically modified food
Of course, all that is music to the big producer's ears (excuse the corn pun), as it tightens their control of the seed source. A farmer can't produce his own seeds from crops already grown from licensed GM seed, & there lies the issue for me - control of a staple element necessary for life itself. Would you allow water to be licensed? I know that's an extreme analogy, but we're getting into the same realm.
Re: Genetically modified food
Re: Genetically modified food
In the UK, there have been some limited GM crop trials. I've no issue with testing stuff out that may have benefits, but it needs time, & lots of it. These trial areas were significantly detached/screened from adjacent fields due to the PROVEN issues surrounding both physical transfer & wind bourn contamination.
Re: Genetically modified food
Is anyone here familiar with the Ray Bradbury short story, A Sound Of Thunder?
Any paranoia I have about the unintended consequences of man messing with cloning, genetics and even regional species predator/prey introduction is rooted in that book. Like Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (speaking of food), it left quite an impression on me as a young person.

Re: Genetically modified food
Here's a quick google search, plenty of stuff to read. GM wheat is fairly new to the world diet, historically speaking. Isn't it curious that gluten intolerance is on the rise all of a sudden? It just wasn't an issue a decade ago. GM wheat has more gluten, among other "improvements". It used to be a 4 foot tall plant, now wheat is about 2 feet tall with a larger seed head. And they are not shipping it to feed the hungry, those people are still starving.
There are a lot of issues out there, but this one...Unless I live off the land, I am forced to be their guinea pigs. That upsets me to no end. I have no idea what foods they are messing with because they don't have to disclose anything. If that isn't upsetting, I don't know what is. All I want to do is to raise awareness. A lot of people just don't know what they are doing to their food. I find it hard to be apathetic on this issue.
Re: Genetically modified food
Ya the food supply is pretty critical, and like many things, we don't know "what they're doing" all the time all that well. There are some options - buy organic, but local (100 mile diet), grow your own food (not possible for everybody).
But GMO for feeding the poor? Feeding the world? Forget it. Even if Monsanto turned into a charity, there will always be poor starving people.
Gotta take the good with the bad. There are some great scientific interventions in foods, not all of them Monsanto's.
Re: Genetically modified food

These facts were disclosed in many Federal,and state Supreme courts over the last 30 years.These weren't internet rumors.
If in FACT,there is no harm in consuming GMO,why not label the food for just what it is,and let the comsumer decide,and not the corporation,just who eats their food.
I for one want to know what I'm eating,and that decision is up to ME,rumor or not.Label the friggin food,period

Re: Genetically modified food
I'm glad we can have a quasi-political discussion here that's level headed and reasonable without getting too worked up with rhetoric and nonsensical claims. Go us.
To the topic at hand. It does upset me that a few powerful individuals are taking advantage of mankind's oldest industry. Agriculture is too important for our survival as a species to be corrupted by big business. That story about Monsanto suing the neighboring farmer because of cross pollination makes me not want to live on this plant anymore. Seriously, grow up.
However, I'd like to point out that we've been eating genetically modified plants and animals for decades via selective breeding. Seedless fruit is the most obvious example. But chickens are bred to lay bigger eggs and grow bigger; strawberry are bred to grow bigger; roses are bred to have specific color patterns, size, and for the strength of their small; lobsters.. tomatoes.. crab.. garlic.... Lord knows what we've done with the cow population... What Monsanto and other guys have started doing is just a more sophisticated version of that. Same result, different technique.
I'm choosing not to be afraid of GM food. Billions of people have eaten/ingested way worse and were possibly more successful and lived happier, fuller lives than I will. I just don't want to worry about it. Anyone who lived through the 60s-70s can probably attest that that time was pretty much a world wide chemistry experiment on the majority of the population, haha. Our bodies are more resilient then we think they are sometimes.
Maybe I'm the "ignorant is bliss" route on this issue, but food is food. Whether you go out to eat at Olive Garden or Taco Bell, you are eating food from an unknown source all the time. Rather than being fearful of it, I'll just embrace it and taste.

A new medical study examined the long-term effects of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide and Roundup-resistant GMO corn and has found that rats exposed to even the smallest amounts of Roundup, developed mammary tumors and severe liver and kidney damage as early as four months in males and seven months for females, Linda reported. She spoke with Stacy Malkan, a GMO specialist who is working for the passage of Proposition 37 in California, which would make it mandatory to label genetically engineered fish, crops and foods, and to clearly separate them in supermarkets and grocery stores from foods that are not genetically engineered.

I see more sickly old people than healthy old people it seems. There are more prescriptions written than ever. Yes we are living longer, but in a healthier state? Not sure. Doesn't look like it from where I'm sitting. I'm running into some very smart people who are taking their health into their own hands. Myself I'm convinced that prescription drugs and the FDA are not good for my health. The internet is a goldmine of info for those who seek it out. I am running into so many people who are cutting gluten from their diet, all with good results, amazing even. For instance, one of my electrical customers, she has that disease where it looks like the pigment in the skin is missing in blotches. Well she cut gluten out completely and her pigment is starting to return. Anyone who has gastrointestinal issues...cut gluten from your diet and tell me you don't feel better. What you put in your mouth has the biggest effect on your health more than anything else.
I only bring this up because it affects everyone and I think it's really important. I feel we are being slowly poisoned. I don't want that for me and mine, not one bit.

Agreed, the internet is a double edge sword, but there is good info there too. One has to utilize one's intelligence to sort the genetically modified wheat from the chaff. I think it's in peoples best interest to learn as much as possible on this issue, after all, there's a strong chance that you are consuming these "designer" foods.
I don't trust mankind to get something like this right the first time. I don't trust multi-national corporations to do right by my health. All they want is my money. If I don't know what I'm eating, then I'm to blame too.

How do you experience hunger?
Sounds like a strange question, I know.
I had a conversation with my sister about hunger - she's thin and athletic and I'm, well, not. I noticed that she was going for long periods of time without eating, and I asked her if she wasn't hungry. She said that she did get hungry, but that she didn't feel a burning need to do anything about it. Like when you become aware that you have to pee - you can choose to answer the call, but you could also ignore it until later if you were busy.
I don't get that - when I get hungry, I get HUNGRY! It's a driving need to eat, otherwise I start feeling nauseous, I can't concentrate, and when my blood sugar drops eventually, I'll be shaky, weak and have stomach pains. Obviously, this is the biggest sabotage to my healthy eating plans - if hunger hits, I'll gnaw on anything within reach just to make it go away.
Yes, I know the solution is to eat small meals frequently, and to keep healthy snacks around. And I'm not looking for excuses, I'm just trying to understand this physical response, and perhaps find a way to lessen the effects so I'll have an easier time moderating my diet.
So, what does hunger feel like to you? Can you ignore it, or do you have to eat right away? How does this affect your diet? Any ideas to reduce the severity of hunger pangs?

I get hungry every 2 hours and it makes me lethargic, surly, irritable, and cloudy-minded if I let it get to 3 or 4 hours without eating. It has been thus since I was a baby.
Water helps with hunger pangs, as do stupid-small snacks (nuts, bars of whatever).
I'm 24 and have been practicing at cubicle-dwelling for three years now. When I was 20, if you got between me and a meal then there would be blood. Depending on the amount of libertarian anarchist philosophy in your diet, either I succumbed to being crushed under the totalitarian blanket of mindless consumerist worker-bee drone life, or I mellowed out.

Style: Jerry-Bashing--
When I get hungry I feel like there's a hollow barrel inside me and then I get sad as a montage of happy times spent gobbling fat turkey legs and gorging on spoon loads of trifle plays in my head.
I'm a wuss at self-denial, which is why I've indulged in every vice and debauchery under under the sun save for gambling and buggery (basically the same in my book). I am finally getting better now that I'm entering middle age, but I experience privation very emotionally. Sometimes I want to eat pizza so much I could literally cry.
Style: BJJ--
I'm like your sister. If I don't force myself to eat, I'd simply fast without noticing it. I'm 5'8", between 5 and 10% BF, and my weight fluctuates between 140 (cutting) and 160 (cruising).
Unless you have a medical condition like low blood sugar, hypoglycemia, etc...there really is nothing FORCING you to eat except yourself. You've simply become accustomed to eating at certain intervals, and you have a psychological urge directing your actions.
The easiest way, in my opinion, to wean yourself off of this urge?
Healthy, safe fasting.
Whether cutting weight for a competition or simply taking a few days off of solid food after a particularly eventful weekend, fasting can be a great way to break the "Hunger Addiction" a lot of people find themselves enslaved to.
Of course, I wouldn't fast longer than 3 days initially, and I'd definitely check with your doctor. Also, there are a number of great books out there that outline healthy ways to fast. Otherwise, you can harm your body if you approach it incorrectly.
Some quick rules about fasting:
-Drink your body weight in ounces of water each day
-Take a good, solid multi-vitamin
-Drink plenty of pure fruit and vegetable juice at "meal times"
-Refrain from excessive exercise
-Get lots of sleep
You CAN train your "Hunger Impulse", just like you can train anything else about yourself.
It just takes work, research, and willpower.Originally Posted by Exodus

Style: Boxing/MMA (Ex. Shotokan)--
SuperGuido is absolutely right. While I, as of late especially, am trying to make myself eat more, I can easily go hours without food. Even when sharp pain kicks in, it is only a mental pain and has no effect on my physical state. The human body is made to be able to go days without food with little to no ill effects. The only exceptions are hypoglycemics. It is extremely annoying to me how many people abuse the whole 'I need to eat' simply because they are glutonous. Its an insult to people who actually have the disease to fake symptoms out of your lack of self-control.
I am not pointing out anyone in this thread, I have no way of knowing if you seriously have problems with blood sugar or are a pig, but I have friends who are hypoglycemic and I know a few people who have claimed it illegtimately and been called out on it, they are assholes.
PS. Does anyone find that when really fat people eat it seems incredibly repulsive. It sickens me when someones act of chewing causes their fat to shake. It's definitly a physcological thing between eating and obesity, because normally seeing them jiggle is not nearly so disgusting.
I am a Ninja bitches!! Deal with it

Carvers Bay lost 28-21 to Christ Church on Friday in a Class A state championship. Devin Cuttino got the Bears on the board first with a 31-yard touchdown run. The Cavaliers struck right back with a 65-yayd touchdown pass on their next play from scrimmage. Hikeem Hampton gave Carvers Bay great field position by returning the ensuing kickoff backto the 44-yard-line. The Bears offense looked like it was going to stall, but quarterback Israel Davis converted a fourth-and-one and Chris Carter then scored a touchdown to give Carvers Bay a 14-7 lead with 1:30 left in the first quarter. But as with the Bears' first touchdown, Christ Church needed only one play from scrimmage to tie the score. this time on a 60-yard run. After the Cavaliers scored again to take a 21-14 lead, Cuttino raced 81 yards to tie the score at 21-21. Christ Church ate up most of the second quarter on a long scoring drive to take a 28-21 lead with 58.6 seconds left in the half. Neither team found the end zone in the second half. The Cavaliers missed two field goals and the Bears had a fumble, an interception and a failed fake punt that stopped drives. Carvers Bay finished the season 12-2.

NEWPORT–For the first time in the 2014 season the North Country field hockey team lost back-to-back games as they dropped a 2-1 contest in overtime to the D II U-32 Raiders on Wednesday afternoon.
For the full story, see the Express on 10-16-14.
ROCHESTER-The Craftsbury Chargers were in action yet again Tuesday afternoon, as they traveled to Rochester to take on the Whitcomb Hornets.

ORLEANS–The Lake Region Rangers hosted North Country, Lyndon, Hazen, Stowe and Peoples for their annual cross country relay races.
For the full story, see the Express on 10-15-14.
NEWPORT–The North Country Falcons were hoping for better results when they squared off against Division II Harwood on Monday.
The white and maroon would score the opening goal, but the Highlanders came back to tie the game before the break and eventually scored the game winner mid-way through the second to pick up the 2-1 victory.
"This is a game we should have won," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard. "We had chances galore to put the ball in the net, but we could not finish and that cost us. We will have to have a better effort if we want to compete against Rice and U-32 later this week."
NEWPORT–It was a rough Friday of football for the North Country Falcons, as they lost a one-sided contest to the St, Johnsbury Hilltoppers 59-18 under the lights at Veterans Field.
"We started out playing our game and I think we surprised them a little bit," said NCU coach Tim Simoneau. "We are coming across some pretty serious adversity this week with our injuries. I am not making excuses, but it is what it is."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-13-14.
NCU 2, Lyndon 0
LYNDON CENTER–The North Country Falcons continued their dominance over Caledonia Country-based teams on Saturday, as they came out ready to play from the get-go and picked up a win against the Vikings.
"We were strong from the opening seconds of the game right until the very end," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard. "We got the start that we have been looking for these past few games and dominated the whole way. It was a fantastic game to watch."
CRAFTSBURY-The Craftsbury Lady Chargers were able to push their win streak to four on Thursday afternoon, as they snuck past the Winooski Lady Spartans by a 2-0 margin.
Craftsbury coach Casey McGill on how the team has kept up their winning ways, "The main thing I've been telling the girls is to move up the field as a unit, and us starting to fill those gaps is what has helped us play well consistently."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-13-14.
NEWPORT–With the skies opening up and raining falling down on the field, North Country forward Morgan Greene scored with 3:13 left in the first overtime session to give the Falcons a huge 2-1 win over the St. Johnsbury Hilltoppers on Thursday afternoon.
"This was amazing and you can quote me on that," said NC coach Chantelle Bouchard. "The girls did not want to give anything up. This is their home and they wanted to win."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-10-14.
Staff Reports
NEWPORT–Tuesday was a tough night to be a North Country soccer fan.
The Falcons welcomed in Mount Mansfield for an under the lights doubleheader of Division I soccer action, but despite their best laid plans, things did not go the home team's way.
First up was the NCU girls, and prior to the game the Falcons' seniors, Brooke Breault, Kathryn Daigle, Madeline Ferorelli, Emilie Paul and Mykayla Tanguay, were honored for their time with the team.
CABOT-An intense showdown took place when the Craftsbury Chargers were hosted by the Cabot Huskies in a division IV soccer match.
The Charger dominated early, but would falter down the stretch, allowing 4 goals in the second half en route to a disappointing 4-3 loss.
Early on in the match it became evident that the game would be a tight one, as teams exchanged shots and possession at an even rate.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Derma e was recommended by my friend. I tried this hydrating day cream and love it. Really moisture with hyaluronic acid. Love the natural and organic ingredient. Recommend to friends ** For new customers of iHerb, please also visit my page formore product reviews **
There is something about this product I just didn't like. The texture is okay and the smell is alright. I don't know why people are complaining about the smell. It's very light and candy like. That was one of the things I did like. It was how it made my skin feel. At first when it goes on it feels great, but then as the day progresses you feel your skin getting dry in areas and then oily in others. It definitely DOES NOT balance the skin. At least mine it doesn't. I don't know...I just found the product a bit blah. I'm going back to using the Avalon Organics oil free moisturizer and the Alba Botanica one. Those hydrated my skin much better and dealt with the oiliness as well. This one didn't do jack!

Who is or could be the wild beast in the Book of Revelation 13?
Quote from: micah7:9 on August 23, 2011, 02:50:59 AMWho is or could be the wild beast in the Book of Revelation 13?I don't understand it all but I believe the beast is/was A man who existed during 70AD, or will exist at the end. I think the beasts of Revelation is certain individual men who had power over certain countries, like Greece, Rome and so forth. Why would the beast make war with the saints AND OVERCOME THEM if it is our carnal nature? If the beast is our carnal nature why are there more than one of them? These things don't make any sense to me. In verse 18 It refers to THE beast and says 666 is the NUMBER OF A MAN, not men. Verse 8 says "all that dwell upon the earth shall worship HIM"...one individual.I actually think this has been fulfilled already.CHB
I agree with you in that literally speaking . .. it's already been fulfilled.
That persecution began in the middle of November 64 A.D. and continued until June 8, 68 A.D. when Nero committed suicide, a period of 42 months. Take note how this fits with Revelation 13:5
I find all that info about Nero interesting. Yes, the argument is with many saying Rev. is written after 70 AD, some others saying before. Which I'm sure most if not all full preterists argue for before.
Revelation is happening very close to the day of the LORD. If you know what that is, you will know it hasn't happened yet. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,...--Rev 1
That said, it's interesting about the Lord's Day Molly. I think I know what you're saying, and it just occurs to me if there could be a difference between the Lord's Day and The Day of the Lord/That Day?
Barnes Notes on the Bible says this about that particular phrase, The Lord's Day;"On the Lord's day - The word rendered here as "Lord's" (κυριακῇ kuriakē), occurs only in this place and in 1 Corinthians 11:20, where it is applied to the Lord's supper.
It properly means "pertaining to the Lord"; and, so far as this word is concerned, it might mean a day "pertaining to the Lord," in any sense, or for any reason; either because he claimed it as his own, and had set it apart for his own service, or because it was designed to commemorate some important event pertaining to him, or because it was observed in honor of him. It is clear:
So according to Barnes "Day of the Lord" = "Last Supper" = a new feast dedicated to Jesus?I think all of that is wrong.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.--Rev 20
Quote from: WhiteWings on September 12, 2012, 10:49:33 AMSo according to Barnes "Day of the Lord" = "Last Supper" = a new feast dedicated to Jesus?I think all of that is wrong.It may be, but I think he's just saying it's a special day set aside for the Lord, similar to the reference in I Cor. about taking communion/the Lord's Supper (not the Last Supper :). He's making a distinction between the Lord's Day and "that great and terrible day of the Lord". I don't know, but I think it's worth considering.
I set this all up by saying I don't believe everything's happened yet. That's not my point, I'm not saying it has. That's full preterism. I said I'm partial preterist, that I believe some things have happened and some haven't. But I do wonder if we get in a rush sometimes and assume it's all future rather than being able to discern which is which. Personally, I can't always do so. But I think it's interesting to look at possibilities.I personally believe the Lord is yet to return, the dead in Christ arise, etc. But I also wonder if some things we take as future prophecies (especially OT and parts of Revelation) have either already happened, are at least what happened was a "type" of something that will happen further - for instance, if Nero was a "type" of the anti-Christ, if not "the". Bottom line, I'm not sure anybody really has all the answers to it.

For young people who think they might be gay, are gay, or who are perceived to be gay, it can be difficult to be in school. There are very few mechanisms in place in schools to support young people who experience homophobic bullying, and those with gay people in their family are also exposed to abuse. There is also a marked lack of positive role models to help shape a young person's experience and understanding of their sexuality.
Young people are exploring their sexuality at a young age. Although there is no universal age, young people are increasingly sexually active (even if they do not have full sexual intercourse), and therefore it is logical to assume that gay people are realising their sexuality at younger ages, sometimes as young as 12. A lack of safe sex information at school, can lead to unsafe practices amongst the gay community. Some gay people say that they always knew they were gay. This can lead to difficulties for families who want to support children who may be gay or think they are gay.
Although the issue of supporting a child who is gay is becoming a more mainstream topic on adult television, parents can be distressed by the thought that their child is gay. This is caused by the fact that being gay is still seen to be negative. A popular portrayal of gay life is one of promiscuity, drug and alcohol abuse, and unhappiness. Furthermore, most resources for young people who think they might be gay reiterate the thinking that being gay is usually a phase that will pass or might pass. For some young gay people, such reassurance can prove more confusing than the initial feelings. This has implications for the health service.
Low self-esteem amongst gay people can lead to (sometimes long term) mental health problems. Parents may also feel that they can't discuss their concerns with a health care professional, in case they will be judged.
There are local LGB youth organisations, which can help create a positive identity for young people, but finding out about these, and having resources and freedom to attend meetings, depends entirely on the individual, their family or their school. Some young people in rural areas (for example) struggle to access gay listings or attend meetings without arousing suspicions from their family. This leads to a further sense of isolation and exclusion.
Some young people find themselves excluded from home if they are lesbian or gay. This, coupled with an unsupportive school environment, can lead to complete social exclusion. The young person may find themselves in care, or even homeless. Health care practitioners can play a crucial role in supporting and informing young people, and this positive relationship can change the way in which young people relate to the health sector in the future.
