We were woken up soon after falling asleep with a loud bang a little over and hour and a half ago. A pickup came across the road and took out the telephone pole and then hit our cement front porch. He hit it hard enough to knock off a porch post and shove the cement about an inch.
I plan to take pictures of the damage in the morning light but here is what it looked like
Happy 10th Birthday to my middle child. He loves the Animorph books and we got him two CSI Kids books too.
Canola oil was originally rape seed. However, rape seed caused many health issues that made it unsuitable for human consumption. Rape is high in erucic acid, which have been shown to produce lesions of the heart and tissue damage to organs in lab animals. So, rape seed was bred to contain less erucic acid and was renamed LEAR – Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed, which eventually became to be know as Canola
Even at low levels of erucic acid (2%), canola has been found to cause minor heart scarring
Canola oil has been shown to injury kidneys, increase blood sodium levels, and cause abnormal changes in the hormone aldosterone, which regulates blood pressure
Canola has been found to be a potentially potent allergen in children and adults . (The Paleo Diet, Dr. Loren Cordain, p23)
Most Canola grown is GMO. More and more people have been showing reactions to Canola.
Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages in magazines. It is an industrial oil. It is not a food.
Canola oil is registered with the EPA as a pesticide.
Canola oil is used everywhere – in restaurants, processed food, even raisins are coated in it. Start reading your labels and you’ll see what I mean. If the ingredient list specifies vegetable oil, it is a catch-all term that allows the manufacture flexibility in what oil they use depending on price and availability. Thus, there is no way to know for sure that the vegetable oil listed isn’t canola oil.
I have found only one resource for people with canola sensitivities. The site is a database that lists which food products and restaurants contain or use canola oil and those that don’t. Currently, it only covers the US, but there are plans to expand it to Canada and the UK. Unfortunately, avoidance is only part of the solution. In order to protect our health and the health of our loved ones, we have to wean ourselves from our dependence on the supermarket and the convenience foods we’ve become accustomed. And that means taking on more responsibility for growing our own food and supporting local farmers that are producing quality food.
After months of searing heat and sparse rainfall farmland in the US is drying up. For weeks the US has been suffering its most extensive drought in half a century. And meteorologists expect the severe conditions to continue. What will the impact be on global food prices and is the existing global food market system flawed?
Remember when I wrote about the “fake kidnapping” done by a Pennsylvania Church. http://kristenmomof3.xanga.com/760619632/%E2%80%9Cfake%E2%80%9D-kidnapping/
The Glad Tidings Assembly of God and 28-year-old Andrew David Jordan of Elizabethtown were charged Friday with false imprisonment and simple assault
Four men — one carrying an unloaded but real gun — rushed into a room full of youth-group participants, put pillowcases over their heads and forced them into a van. The children didn’t know the raid was fake. One was injured.
The district attorney’s office filed charges of false imprisonment, a felony, and simple assault against the church and youth pastor Andrew D. Jordan, 28.
Police Chief Richard Wiley said he didn’t understand the rationale of the church leaders and that he’s never witnessed a case like this.
District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. that while the intentions of the church were not necessarily harmful, “they in essence terrorized several children.”
John Lanza, the pastor of the church, said after the incident that the raid is used as a learning experience to show what some missionaries deal with because of their faith.
The mother of a 14-year-old girl who was taken during the incident called police.
After bursting in on the youth group, the raiders prodded the hooded kids into a church van and drove across the parking lot to the pastor’s house. They led the teens through the garage, past the pastor’s motorcycle with crucifixes painted on its gas tank to an interrogation room in a dark corner of the musty basement.
A single-bulb painter’s light was suspended from the ceiling. It illuminated a lone chair. The men questioned each teen for 30 seconds in the room, raising their voices to invoke fear, before releasing them, Lanza said in March.

A law backed by Republicans in Pennsylvania will add a new requirement for voters in the upcoming US presidential election – a photo ID with an expiry date. Opponents of the new law say it could prevent hundreds of thousands of people from voting; primarily the elderly, minorities and the poor because they are less likely to have the necessary paperwork or the means to get an id. They are also more likely to vote Democrat.
I am looking forward to this season’s project runway……
I watched the first episode of Project Runway and it has really left me excited for the season. I really like the designer Alicia Hardesty and hope that she wins. Her stuff is awesome. I really enjoy her aesthetic. It’s so masculine and urban, but still feminine in its modern style. I can’t wait to see how her androgynous style plays out on the show!
Alicia, 27, is originally from Brandenburg, Kentucky, but now lives with her girlfriend in Los Angeles. Her brand, Original Tomboy, came about when she modeled for a tomboys-in-vintage-dresses-themed photo shoot.
