Wild Caught vs. Farm Raised
For the past 7 years, I have been standing behind the meat and seafood counters at the Lulawissie Gas and Grocery slinging meat and seafood items for my customers. I am frequently asked a myriad of questions about each item we sell and I always try to make a point to be completely honest with my clientele, even if it risks losing a sale.
Every time 20/20, or Dateline or a similar news show comes out with a negative report on the safety or quality of a meat or seafood item, my company immediately issues a memo to all of its stores coaching the associates on what to say or do when a concerned customer comes in and inquires about the news broadcast. What we are coached to say is usually a line of B.S. that beats around the bush or tells the customer what they want to hear in order to keep selling a product that may not be so good for you. I generally read the memo so I am up on what is going on, and then I ignore it. My customers come in to my department because they know that I will not steer them wrong. I have gone so far as to call a competitor to find my regular customers a lower price on an item because we are forbidden to markdown prices. Believe it or not, this keeps the customers coming back.
In the seafood department, we have two top selling items: Salmon and Tilapia, both of them are farm raised, and both of them are extremely bad for your health.
Let's start with the Tilapia. It is a hearty, large growing fish, originally from the Middle East. It has a good, mild flavor and is very popular in restaurants. Many people turn to Tilapia as a dietary exchange for red meat and pork. But the truth be told, Tilapia is higher in saturated fat than an equal amount of pork or even a donut. Farm-raised tilapia, one of the most highly consumed fish in America, has very low levels of valuable omega-3 fatty acids and, worse yet, very high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, according to research from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. The research shows that the combination could very well be a hazardous food source for some patients with heart disease, arthritis, asthma and other allergic and auto-immune diseases that are predominantly vulnerable to an "exaggerated inflammatory response." Inflammation is known to cause damage to blood vessels, the heart, lung and joint tissues, skin, and the digestive tract. Tilapia has higher levels of potentially detrimental omega-6 fatty acids than 80-percent-lean hamburger (ground chuck), donuts and even pork bacon. For individuals who are eating fish as a method to control inflammatory diseases such as heart disease, it is clear that tilapia is not a good choice. All other nutritional content aside, the inflammatory potential of hamburger and pork bacon is lower than the average serving of farmed tilapia.
As for Salmon, anything "wild caught" is the best way to go.
Farm raised salmon, like Tilapia, is one of the worst things that you can put into your body. Farmed salmon are raised in crowded mesh pens anchored in bays and inlets. To help prevent the spread of disease, the fish are fed food pellets that contain antibiotics. Farmed salmon are fed more antibiotics per pound than any other livestock in America. Also, the excrement produced at salmon farms taints the nearby ocean environment and other marine habitat. The excrement from one large fish farm equals the sewage of a city of 10,000 people. The salmon are swimming around in this sewage as well, ingesting its poisons with every cycle of respiration. The feed that is given to these fish are also laden with color enhancers and growth hormones. The color enhancers cause the fish's flesh to turn a reddish pink color which is an attempt to match the rich color of the wild Sockeye Salmon. It has been proven that consuming too much of these farm raised, color enhanced fish will cause a color change in human flesh as well, along with other detrimental side effects.
Wild caught salmon is the healthier choice over farmed salmon. The wild caught salmon is also far superior to farmed salmon, in taste, quality, texture and appearance. Wild salmon swim freely and feed freely in the remote, unspoiled waters of the Gulf of Alaska, and contain no antibiotics and no growth hormones. Wild salmon is also a healthy and natural source of omega- 3 fatty acids and high in antioxidants.
How Fresh is "Fresh"?
A couple of times a year, we get in some "fresh" Sockeye Salmon that is wild caught out of Alaskan waters. Pacific sockeye salmon are among the most highly prized of the wild salmon species (for their rich red color and firm texture); however attempts to farm them have not been commercially successful. Sockeye have a unique diet and lifecycle that are not easily replicated in an aquaculture environment, but you can be sure that scientists are working on it.
By the time a "fresh" wild caught salmon fillet lands in your local grocery store, it has been out of the water for 3 to 5 days. It has been kept cold, on the edge of freezing, until it is delivered. Chances are it sits in a delivery truck overnight at a seafood warehouse before it comes to your local market. Your best bet, in my opinion, is to buy the frozen wild caught salmon. The frozen fish are flash frozen within a matter of minutes to a couple of hours, not days, of leaving the water. They are processed at the harvesting point on factory ships at sea. Pound for pound, the frozen wild caught salmon will be fresher than the in-store fresh fish. Frozen Sockeye is usually available year round.
Other Salmon Options
There are other salmon options which are available year round as well. The Keta Salmon sometimes called the Silverbright Salmon or Chum Salmon is a smaller but more plentiful species of salmon. They rarely grow over 10 pounds and are commonly thrown back when caught in the nets with their larger companions. They too are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids and have all of the same health benefits as their more robust cousins, but at a much lower price. Many stores such as Kroger carry these fish on a regular basis.
When purchasing a package of frozen fish, make sure that somewhere on the package it says "Wild Caught". If it is not on the front, you will find it on the back in small lettering. It is a violation of federal law to not have this labeling on every pack of meat or fish along with the country of origin. As for me, I always look for "Wild Caught/Product of USA".
Thank you for your time.

Great article, thank you for your honesty
Wild Alaskan Salmon is now available in our Supermarkets in Britain and I have to disagree that the quality is better than a farmed Atlantic Salmon - it isn't, it's worse, and that was the consensus of 5 people at a recent dinner party . Maybe it's something to do with the vacuum packing and thousands of miles of transit from Alaska, but I used Sainsburys Wild Alaskan Salmon (Coho or Sockeye) and it was really disappointing. Dry, thin flakes, and a really strong salmon taste is how I'd sum it up. There were leftovers.
Very good hub Del. this is very helpful, gonna share this to my mother and surely she will enjoy it. she likes to go to the grocery and buy goods for us.
Nice hub here! I try to avoid farm raised but sometimes being in NY it's hard. Very educational...thanks!
I have been hearing about the downside of Tilapia...Guess it won't reach my dinner table. Thanks for all this valuable information.
i live in Alaska. NEVER NEVER NEVER buy or eat farmed fish ewwwww. great hub!
Thank you for such a well written hub!!!! I will definitely use this information the next time I go shopping for salmon. I did not know that these farm raised salmon were being fed growth hormones. As far as them being caged up with other salmon swimming around in their own excrement is not healthy for them or us. This information will surely guide us consumers in purchasing the right kinds of fish that will be better for us in the long run. Again, wonderful hub. Voted up and away!!!!!!
thank you much for an informative hub. Another food for the thought on my lists. great hub.
I love fish. My family eats it all the time. I prefer wild, because to me fame always have a funny after taste. I say it taste like bad corn but that is just me. But we eat what ever we can buy that week.
badegg I'm glad you pointed that out as I buy North Atlantic cod all the time. I will have to do some reach on this, and will stop buying it as well until I know if it is safe or not. Thank you.
I have just finished a meal of (among other things) wild caught salmon.
What a coincidence!
People should understand that the food we consume is good medicine if our diets are clean. Foods drive our systems--the fuel.
You confirmed what I already knew, but have been arguing with people about---that wild v farm is healthier.
Unfortunately, I have consumed a lot of farmed salmon and that saddens me because I have taken great care to be more vegetarian and clean in my diet. However, I will correct this now given the excellent information you have put out in this hub.
You are a wonderful communicator. Continue being prolific.
Very interesting article-- full of useful information. I didn't know much about tilapia. My stepson manages the Yukon river basin in Alaska for Alaska Fish and Game and he's warned us about the dangers of farmed fish. Also, wild-caught salmon sales support native subsistance fishermen/women. Voted interesting and useful.
This is great info. A lot of people aren't aware of this information. Me personally, I enjoy catching my own fish, mostly trout, right from the creek. It tastes better when you put the work in, and it doesn't get much fresher than that.
Great hub. Thank you. You may be surprised to learn that in 35 minutes I will be eating "Live Caught, Wild Salmon" caught somewhere off the coast of Scandinavia.
I love this fish, and love it even more after reading your excellent and informative article.
Marked UP and USEFUL.
Thanks again.
Wow, glad I caught this. Tilapia is one of the meats I eat most of and this is horrible! Thank you for writing this and letting us know. I was just preparing to make this my only meat, and what a mistake that would have been. It is so hard to believe the government or anyone anymore. It is just so wrong!
Voted way up!
Great hub, I'm glad you shared this.
Most consumers don't realize that the color has been added to the farm-raised salmon. And as you have pointed out the levels of "heart healthy omega-3s" go down drastically because they are not feeding in the wild. I recall running across a research report that grass-feed beef end up having high concentrations of omega-3's than farm-raised salmon.
Hello badegg. Wow! there is a lot of good information in this hub. I am sure your customers appreciate your honesty, I know I would. We don't care for salmon, so I am safe there. The only fish we eat is what we catch out of our own ponds. We sometimes feed them fish pellets. I am going to be checking on what is in them. Thank you for this very good information. Voted this up, useful and socially sharing everywhere I can! :)
Wow! Frankly I didn't knew nothing about this. Thanks for the information, very useful!
I've read quite a bit about how the food pellets fed to farm raised salmon contain a lot of bad things... nice article.
Thanks for the great info! I avoid farm raised fish of all kinds. I'm lucky to live in the Northwest, where I have access to wild fish of several kinds. The Alaska salmon is my favorite. Thanks for the tip about buying it frozen.
Some interesting information there. I will have to pass this along to my mother-in-law who loves tilapia.

Beyond my go-to and fully awesome gold, Zoya Ziv, I tend to be soooo much more into silvers. Plus I already have a good--a really good--suede gold polish, so did I really need another one? The answer is yes. Most absolutely yes! 'Cause I am totally in love with OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby.
From the recent Gwen Stefani collection, OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby is a gorgeous gold that dries to a sexy satin/suede finish. It's a soft gold, all kinds of lovely, not garish is any way. It holds hints of yellow and platinum, and I'm fairly certain it's also part butter. Crazy-smooth, gorgeous love.
Love.Angel.Music.Baby feels like a fitting counterpart to the silver Miss Universe satin/suede, This Gown Needs a Crown, which is a big, fat compliment to both. And in addition to being ridiculously pretty, this polish's formula was so easy to work with, spreading evenly and covering well in two coats (compulsion made me do a third coat, but it really was already great at two).
Even doubting whether I was going to love this gold as much as its sister silver, I was already grinning like an idiot while applying the first coat. Then I held my hand up to the light and literally gasped. And while it's sinfully pretty as its matte, suede self, it looks fabulous with top coat too!
Seriously, OPI is just killing it with this finish. Please consider this my official request for an entire collection full of these!

This is a pretty gold. I really like it.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful finish, I love it! :-)ReplyDelete

Beautiful! But how long does it last without a top coat?ReplyDelete
Agreed! This finish is awesome. Can't speak to wear 'cause I only had it on for a weekend, but it held up just fine.ReplyDelete

I have a single Windows 7 x64 machine that has shares running on it that I'm trying to access on the LAN. The IP of the Win7 box is on the same /24 subnet as the computers that need to access it. The machine I am trying to use to access the share is a Win 2003 x86 Standard Edition. It is also the domain controller, of which domain the Win 7 machine is a member.
When I attempt to browse the share, I go to \\win7\ or \\IP and it says "No network provider accepted the given network path.".
Steps I have taken so far:
- Cleared cache/flushed dns on DC as well as on Win7 box.
- Restarted Win7 box
- Verified Win7 shares are setup properly
- Verified I am able to browse to \\win7 from that same computer
- Verified I can ping the win7 box from W2k3
- Verified I am able to RDP from W2ke to Win7
- Windows Firewall is off on both machines
- Win7 has Symantec Endpoint Protection which, when disabled causes the same issue.
- Ensured that settings in Advanced Sharing Settings in Network and Sharing Center on Win 7 should be setup right for the shares to work.
I'm not really sure what else to try at this point. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It's the car, right? Chicks love the car
Rocksteady Studios has found itself in a somewhat precarious position with Arkham Knight. The team's two previous installments in the series are so universally revered that it begs the question "What can it do to live up to, and surpass, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City?" Rocksteady's opted to take the path of increasing the scope of everything and changing the formulaic approach to some of the series' conventions. It remains to be seen how well it'll work.
Arkham Knight is the first in the "Rocksteady Trilogy" (this term kept coming up, presumably to distance themselves from Arkham Origins) to give Batman free rein of Gotham City. The plot device driving this iteration is that Scarecrow has threatened to release a fear toxin so the entirety of the city has been evacuated. Well, except for all the thugs, criminals, and super villains that refuse to leave. They'll be Batman's punching bags en route to finding Scarecrow.
If this version of Gotham City sounds like semi-familiar territory, that's because it kind of is. The cynically analytical might say this walled-off playground full of baddies smacks of Arkham City with skyscrapers. The optimist might suggest that this added verticality is a welcomed progression for the series.
Truth be told, the latter might be spot-on. During the 45-minute hands-off demo, Arkham Knight was at its finest as the The Caped Crusader sailed across the cityscape, rain pounding the screen as his dozens of stories-long nose dives lead to intense upthrusts that kept him afloat. As always, the staples of the arsenal such as the grappling hook are available to make traversal easier, if not much quicker, too.
Arkham Knight sees Batman's tools make a dynamic shift in functionality, though. New to this installment is what the developers called "Gadgets While Gliding." This enhancement to the franchise's core systems is meant to provide for seamless transitions between flight, exploration, and combat. For instance, The Dark Knight can now shoot the Line Launcher while in the air to come to an immediate perch between two buildings. Likewise, he can descend upon a group of enemies and throw his first Batarang to start the fight off before he even hits the ground.
Judging by some presentation decisions that permeated the demo, Rocksteady's intently focused on providing as much seamless transition as possible. One of the most impressive things shown was the way that gameplay segued perfectly into a cut scene once an objective was reached. It looks like cut scenes will be a treat too, as the ones presented were nothing short of gorgeous. Rocksteady has the same mentality for the environments, as the game smoothly moves from external to internal settings.
While on the topic of the way Arkham Knight looks, it seems as good a time as any to mention that the demo we saw was plagued by framerate issues, stuttering and chugging along every few seconds. Seeing as the game's seven months out from release, and given Rocksteady's track record, it doesn't feel right to judge it yet based on that. However, it happened, and it's worth noting as we chronicle our time with the preview build.
One of the defining mechanics of the Arkham games is the combat system. Always a friend to the rhythmically-conscious instead of the button-masher, Arkham Knight is poised to carry this tradition on. The fighting appears to be exactly what we've seen in past games. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? However, there are two small augmentations; Batman now has two new moves -- a throw counter and a disarm where he can use the enemy's weapon until it breaks. Presumably this won't extend to firearms, 'cause, you know, Batman doesn't kill people.
But, the biggest and most talked about addition this time 'round is the inclusion of the Batmobile. The storied vehicle will add variety in the way that it's possible to traverse Gotham. Rocksteady pointed out that it designed Gotham in service to the Batmobile, and thusly, added a lot of destructible environments.
One of the more noteworthy features of the Batmobile that we were shown is the ability to eject Batman, and use the momentum to send him flying up and forward at an incredible rate. That doesn't mean that you leave your car behind, however. At any given time, the Batmobile is just a press of a button away, and seconds later it'll reappear.
The Batmobile isn't just used for travel, though. It's going to change the structure of the series that we're used to. One example of this is the introduction of Riddler Caves. It seems that The Riddler's puzzle sections are now gone, replaced by driving circuits that Batman must best. These play out as three-lap solo races, where the player has to drive and press a button to change the environment and add paths/remove obstacles. Honestly, it wasn't clear at first glance whether these will be a worthwhile addition to the game, or a thinly-veiled means of justifying the Batmobile's existence.
By the time the demo ended with Arkham Knight, the game's newly created super villain, ambushing Batman, it was apparent that we were shown a lot, yet shown nothing at all.
We were given a glimpse at some of the changes Rocksteady's making, and the introduction of the mechanics that will tie the entire game together. However, we saw next to none of the interactions with villains or narrative setpieces that make Batman fans so giddy when playing the Arkham games. And, ultimately, it'll be those experiences that make or break Arkham Knight.

From Foreign Policy
Most Americans tend to believe that they've lived under the same form of government, more or less, since the country was founded in late 1700s. They're mistaken.
It's true that there have been important continuities. The American conception of what government should and should not do is deeply rooted in clear thinking at the start of the republic; the country has long preferred limited government and effective constraints on capricious executive action. But this persistence of core ideas (and the consistent use of the same buildings in Washington, D.C.) obscures the dramatic changes that have taken place within the governing institutions themselves.
In fact, formidable challenges at the end of the 19th century were met by fashioning a transformation so thorough it could effectively be deemed a "Second Republic." This new republic came with significantly different economic and political rules — and, as a result, enabled the American system to survive and even thrive for another century. Today, faced with serious economic and political dysfunction, we are in need of another round of deep institutional renewal: a Third Republic.
The conditions that brought about the first transformation of American society are strikingly similar to those we see today. At the root of the problems confronting the United States by 1900 was a wave of innovation that sped up growth. The direct benefits of these new technologies accrued to a few, while many others became more uncertain about their economic future.

There's word on the street that some of the local activists folk may show up at the Mayor's Community Luau this Saturday (1-4 p.m. at the IMS Pavilion ) and cause a stir.
Apparently they have some issues with the administration and who it uses to lobby and they think the "People's Mayor" has forgotten the people.
This is America and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't know if raising a big stink at a charitable event meant to get food to the hungry and raise money geared towards underprivileged kids is the best way to express your grievances with your government.
You'll probably get attention, but not the kind you're looking for.
Having been contacted by the person supposedly responsible for planning what Shabazz calls "Disturbia", I can assure you his narrative of this particular organizer's intent is completely mischaracterized and probably done so deliberately. The person's intent was not to disrupt or in any way cause a stir at the event; rather, it was to have a friendly conversation with the Mayor about the many concerns supporters of his election have with the past and future direction of his administration. I suppose if he bothered to invite them into his office to discuss their concerns, such talk wouldn't be necessary. If the Mayor or members of his administration believe they are helping matters by feeding bits of information to Shabazz to go on the attack against the very people who paved the way for his election, they had better re-think their strategy. Permanently alienating the best allies you had in your narrow election victory is not a smart idea.

Lac de St. Cassien France
May 21st 1987
Found in: Lakes & Rivers
Warm Waters 28C
The common carp is a heavy-bodied minnow with barbels on either side of the upper jaw. Carp have stocky bodies, large scales, and range in color from dark olive bronze on the top of the back to lighter silvery yellow on the belly. The color intensity varies to blend with the color of the water or the habitat background. Typically, color varies from brassy green or yellow, to golden brown, or even silvery. The belly is usually yellowish-white. The dorsal and ventral fins have a stiff-barbed spine at the front followed by soft flexible 17-21 rays. The oldest recorded age is of at least 75 years. They have good eyesight and are sensitive to sound, and disturbances in or near the water. The mouth and lips are adapted to extend like a short tube for sucking up food. Regular scales easily identify the Common Carp over the whole of its body. They have an orderly scale pattern and slender bodies.
Common carp prefer large bodies of slow or standing water and soft, vegetative sediments. They prefer to be in groups of 5 or more. They naturally live in a temperate climate in fresh or slightly brackish water. They will readily survive winter in a frozen over pond, as long as some free water remains below the ice. Carp are able to tolerate water with very low oxygen levels, by gulping air at the surface.
Common carp are omnivorous. They can eat a vegetarian diet of water plants, but prefer to scavenge the bottom for insects, crustaceans (including zooplankton), crawfish, and benthic worms.

Just a Bump in the Road
I've been under the weather the past few days but I'm on the mend. Woke up Sunday morning with a really tight chest. I gave myself a breathing treatment, I keep medicine and a breathing machine close at all times, I never know when I'm gonna have an attack. Went to the Dr first thing Monday morning, got a shot and 2 prescriptions. I am already feeling a bit better today, Tuesday, the very next day. Yeah… if I had not gone at first onset I probably would have gotten much sicker.
For today's meal, I'm going to make some Cajun Blackened Fish with a Baked Potato, a Green Salad and Garlic Bread.
Cook it in a Cast Iron skillet

IMAGINE, a sacred place, a fairly large waterbody and concrete stairways surrounding the waterbody in overcrowded Mumbai?
Rituals and Mythology make way for what is today called 'Banganga', unbelievably located in the heart of Mumbai.
If history is to be believed, Lord Rama and his brother Lakshman took rest here while on their quest to search for Lord Rama's wife, Sita. Rama was thirsty and asked his brother Lakshman to bring him some water. Lakshman then shot an arrow into the ground from where fresh water rose forth. This fresh water is said to symbolize the Ganges River and hence the place gets the name Banganga, meaning Baan (Arrow) – Ganga (Ganges).
The 25 ft. waterbody is surrounded by concrete stairways (ghats) on all 4 sides. On entrance and around Banganga you bump into many ancient stone carved statues of local Gods, some of which are in an unkempt manner.
You will have to walk your way right until the footstep of Banganga Tank, as the place is hidden in the midst of slums on one side and urban buildings on the other. Drop off point for buses and taxis is hence, a few metres away from the spot. However, your walk down the ghat and towards Banganga will not disappoint you, as you will see Chai/Tea stalls, hand carts, colorful homes and temples along the way. If you happen to be among those who have seen Banaras (doesn't matter on TV), you will agree that the experience is fairly similar.
For slum dwellers in the vicinity, Banganga makes for their own version of lake view houses. Plenty of ducks and pigeons make up for the crowd at Banganga, which works more than creating any hindrance. In fact, go ahead and feed these birds; the joyful feeling you get in return is unrivalled.
It needs to be mentioned here that Banganga is also primarily a place to immerse ashes of the dead, according to Hindu tradition. Often families of the deceased visit this place to perform rituals for the dead. And so, you can skip your bathing or having fun in the water plan as Banganga is highly contaminated. You will see garlands, puffed rice, ash and clay pots floating in the water. Besides, locals also use this waterbody for their daily chores like bathing and washing clothes.
Banganga is meant to be a free for all visit. Photography lovers can expect to get some stunning shots here. Some Bollywood films like Chandni Bar have been picturized here. There are only a few small general stores and the only edible items on sale are chips and biscuits. Avoid the scorching heat and sun tan by visiting this place in the evenings. However, if you are the type of person who prefers silence and uncrowded places, afternoon in fact is a better time to visit. Nocturnal humans can venture in the night for the same effect.
Locate it:
Banganga is located in South Mumbai, Malabar Hill to be precise. Nearest station is either Charni road or Grant road on Western railways; and Dadar on Central railways. Taxis are easily available to visit this place. Be aware that the taxi will drop you off a few metres away from Banganga. Rest of the journey has to be covered walking. Walkeshwar bus depot is the nearest stop for buses. From there, Banganga is a 10 min walk.
In a nutshell….
Everyday noise and stress can take a backseat at Banganga. The place has a certain calm about itself which one should not be deprived of. Besides, wouldn't Banganga be an amazing sight to view, considering most of us are living in a concrete jungle.

What is Cockroach?
Cockroach is an eco-feminist zine. It publishes art and writing that motivates and inspires people to make their world a better place.
Issues come out every other month and are available through the Etsy shop (temporarily shut down, but it'll be back in early 2018). Patrons of $5+ at the time of publications also receive a free copy of new issues and women's shelters across Canada (and now the US!) are offered free subscriptions.
How does Stitching Hearts factor in?
A new Stitching Hearts project launches with the publication of each issue. They are all low-cost, low-skill crafts designed to help someone in need.
Cockroach hosts events where folks can get together to create, but also encourages others to throw crafting parties in their own hometowns to help spread the love.
For inspiration on current projects, join the Facebook group!
How did it start?
Cockroach was initially a college project, but it was so much fun and so successful, with a solid base of dedicated, talented contributors, that it's continued on. Since 2013, Cockroach has grown from a small Winnipeg-based and focused publication to one that now services Canada and the United States.
Who runs it?
Me, Meg! I run Cockroach by myself, with the help of many, many supporters.
I'm a freelance writer and editor who recently relocated from Winnipeg, MB to Helena, MT, so that's where Cockroach is now based, but plenty of the writers and artists remained in my hometown, so guaranteed I'll be back to run more events there for my prairie fans.
Why "Cockroach"?
People say cockroaches would be the only things to survive a nuclear attack. Cockroaches are sustainable. Cockroaches are survivors. The eco-feminist and vegan movements are sustainable. They are also full of survivors, battling against society for their causes. Cockroach zine is for them.
How can I support Cockroach?
Buy copies, tell friends it exists, follow Cockroach on social media (Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Tumblr).
Give Cockroach a monthly donation of $1+ via Patreon.

By Edith Grossman
135 pp. Yale University Press. $24
Does translation matter? Edith Grossman's new book argues that it does, right in the title, and she ought to know. "Why Translation Matters" (an extended essay, really) is one of the first texts in Yale's energetic new series, Why X Matters, each volume of which is to present a "concise argument for the continuing relevance of an important person or idea." Certainly when X equals translation, I can imagine no defender more qualified — or, as it turns out, more querulous — than Grossman, whose version of "Don Quixote" a few years back caused a sensation in the shadowy realm of newly translated classics, and whose ulterior dealings with Hispanic splendors, ancient and modern, have stirred even so mild-mannered an assessor of cultural accomplishments as Harold Bloom to proclaim her, ominously enough, the Glenn Gould of translators.
The occasion to which Grossman now speaks, once she blows the froth of professional courtesy off her brew, is the drastic inadequacy of the treatment generally offered to translated literature in this country. By publishers: "Our world as dedicated readers depends on the availability of translated works, classical and contemporary, yet in English-speaking nations, major commercial publishers are strangely resistant to publishing them."
And by reviewers: "So few of them have devised an intelligent way to review both the original and its translation within the space limitations imposed by the publication. . . . Their inability to do so is a product of intransigent dilettantism and tenacious amateurism, the menacing two-headed monster that runs rampant through the inhospitable landscape peopled by those who write reviews."
And by academics: Translators "seem to be a familiar part of the natural landscape, so customary and commonplace that we run the risk of becoming invisible. This may be why many university English departments often declare a monopoly on the teaching of what they choose to call world literature or humanities. . . . I cannot quarrel with the inclusion of translations on any reading list, yet in the process foreign-language departments and their teachers of literature, the ones with real expertise in the works studied, are effectively snubbed. I have never been able to find the logic or coherence in that. Is there someone on a curriculum committee somewhere who does not know or cannot tell the difference between works in English and works in translation? The best face I can put on it is that the ironic disconnect may be an academic trait."
And even by readers, common or otherwise: "Of all the interpretive arts, it is fascinating and puzzling to realize that only translation has to fend off the insidious, damaging question of whether or not it is, can be or should be possible."Continue reading the main story
But once we move beyond these obstacles, far deeper in the bitter concoction translators are fated to imbibe is the redeeming awareness that despite all the insults and impositions translation sustains in our culture, it is crucial to our sense of ourselves as human. Grossman is at her eloquent best not when she makes plaintive, resentful demands that the "bloated international conglomerates" owning the major publishing houses face up to their responsibility to foster literature in translation, but rather when she reveals her joy in her work and her true inspiration:
"Where literature exists, translation exists. Joined at the hip, they are absolutely inseparable, and, in the long run, what happens to one happens to the other. Despite all the difficulties the two have faced, sometimes separately, usually together, they need and nurture each other, and their long-term relationship, often problematic but always illuminating, will surely continue for as long as they both shall live."
I believe — and I sense from her later chapters that Grossman also believes — that the effective audience for her appropriately sharp-tongued revelations about translation and its commercial ventures and venues is actually the occasionally resistant, occasionally cynical reader-as-listener who may want to become the next Edith Grossman. Translation's fate must be determined in those ears and minds, not in the offices of various foundations and publishers; hence her essay.
So it is heartening, even comforting, to learn that Grossman spends her hours, when she is not translating, in those arduous yet often ardent university classrooms where she can expound and clarify the nature of her art. Her clues, seeded throughout this essay, as to how to go about creating, completing and correcting a translation as an authentic work in another language (she writhes at the metaphor of "the target language") are exactly what a reader, especially a nontranslating reader, requires.
Meanwhile, in spite of the cruel and unusual punishment that translation faces in the culture at large, Grossman and others like her continue to offer us enlightenment. Gradually and laboriously, a genuine contemporary achievement in the teaching and consequent production of translations of classical European literature, particularly poetry, has flourished, or at least sprouted, in the last decade. The Greek translations of Guy Davenport and Anne Carson; half a dozen versions of "The Divine Comedy," including translations from W. S. Merwin, Robert Pinsky and Mary Jo Bang; Rika Lesser's inspired versions of the Swedish poets Ekelof and Sonnevi; translations of virtually the entire corpus of the great 19th-century Russians by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, which smoothly correct the odd imbalance of Constance Garnett's peculiar effort to make all Russian authors sound alike; and quite recently the surprising restoration of Thomas Mann by John Woods (who captures Mann's endemic humor, transforming every great tome into an ironic treasury). Against the odds, all these gifts have come our way in recent years. We have also been vouchsafed an enormous and quite unsuspected library of Portuguese and Spanish poetry (from Richard Zenith's Pessoa to John Felstiner's Neruda), which returns me to Edith Grossman's poetry of the Golden Age; her last chapter is called, without the shadow of an apology, "Translating Poetry." Here Grossman triumphs over her resentments of our culture's scandalous abuse of translation. Her account of what she calls "the endless quandary of writing and of writing as a translator" is passionately explored and patiently explained.
In the end, Grossman warmly (after all) and gratefully rehearses the twofold answer to the question of her title: translation matters because it is an expression and an extension of our humanity, the secret metaphor of all literary communication; and because the creation of any literary translation is (or at least must be) an original writing, not a pathetic shadow or tracing of the inaccessible "original" but the creation, indeed, of a second — and as we have seen, a third and a ninth — but always a new work, in another language.

Splash Leolina
This is Splash Leolina, she is another amazing creation of KCCh (Kirby Cosmic Chaos) Team. I'm very grateful with alll KCCh team for giving me the permission to draw their character and now Splash Leolina belongs to KTCG and KAA but only if KCCh team allows she to join in these two new adventures. Also, i add a new look for her. If they allow it, this is a possible description for her.
Splash Leolina is the opposite of Burning Leo, she appears in the game Kirby Cosmic Chaos. At same that Burning Leo her hair represents the power that she controls. Her hair has form of waterfalls and waves (similar to Water Kirba's hat), this is made of pure and clean sea water and is the fountain of all her powers. She can shoot huge water streams to the opponents, transform in a ball of water, become liquid to pass under the thing and create a power wave with her hair.
If she is ihhaled she gives the Water Ability to Kirby and Kirba but only Water Kirba can call Splash Leolina as a helper, if Water Kirby calls a helper will appear another helper (the water helper is the drop that appears on Kirby Wii Trailer). This ability is one of the best abilities of all, with Splash Leolina you can turn off the fire, help the plants to grow or transform the ground in mud. If you have she in your team she'll be really useful in some stages of the amazing adventure.
She has a great power over her head but although she is powerful she has two huge weakness, first in hot places (Volcano, Desert, among others) her power lows and if she is frozen and after she receives a physical hit, the damage that it make will be higher. Check these weakness to defeat or protect her (depend if she is your friend or foe). Also, apart of her power she is one of the most beautiful creatures of all, be careful with these factors.
Lives in Ripple Field and Float Islands, but she appears more in the beaches of Aqua Star.
This card is a model from Kirby Trading Card Game and Kirby´s Aura Adventure but the original design is by KCCh Team.
Kirby Cosmic Chaos is the best fangame of all, thanks again to all KCCh Team for give the permission and i hope that us enjoy this card.

Gosh, Leolina is really cute~! I love how you did the tiara, and how you made her hair loook like the ocean. The pearl on her tiara is really nice, as are her eyes. For some reason, I really like her shoes~ I like the swirly palm tree in the background too. Real nice job, Kiroscarby~!

Very good interpretation of Splash Leolina! Gotta say, it must've taken a long attention span to get every last detail right, 'cuz you've drawn her like a pro. Overall impressive!
[Aug 19, 2010 at 02:44 PM]
I agree! The perspective is great, too. The tiara design is rather nice.

Wearable weather station lets you know when you've gotten too much sun
A new gadget called QTemp developed by University of Toronto researchers acts as a personal, tiny weather station. Paired with your smartphone, the wearable device lets you know the current temperature and UV levels exactly where you are. What the companion app does with that data is very useful. It lets users know how long they can stay in the sun before causing skin damage or burning.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and its estimated that 1 in 5 Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime and 1 in 7 Canadians will be diagnosed.
"We wanted to create a gadget that was easy to use but still had a positive impact on people's lives," said Neda Ghazi, the chief operating officer of the company that makes QTemp.Users select their skin type and their environment in the app -- urban areas, snow, green space, water and sand all reflect UV and increase exposure.-- and it calculates the amount of time that the person can stay in the sun before burning based on the weather information detected by the device.
The app suggests an SPF and adjusts the length of time if you're wearing sunscreen. The device continually measures UV and temperature and adjusts the time limit accordingly via Bluetooth. An alarm will go off when you need to reapply sunscreen and when it's time to head indoors.
The app also lets you participate in a weather map where users can submit the weather conditions of their immediate surroundings and include a photo, creating an accurate picture of real-time weather in an area. If you're not interested in doing that, all of your data will remain private.
The small device can be worn on a key ring, belt, bra or in your pocket, just make sure it's facing the source of UV when gathering measurements.
The QTemp is on Kickstarter now and a pledge of $25 or more will get you a first-run of the wearable. You can choose between two versions depending on whether you're an Android or iOS user. The devices are expected to reach users in February 2016.

The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People Are Changing the World (Hardcover)
The researchers who wrote this fascinating book characterize a new group of people as "Cultural Creatives." These are people like me, the editor of the Good News Network, whose values embrace a curiosity and concern for the world and its ecosystem; an awareness of and activism for peace and social justice; and an openness to self-actualization through spirituality or personal development.
Sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson claim to have found that 50 million adult Americans (slightly over one quarter of the adult population) can now be identified as belonging to this group. They estimated that there were an additional 80–90 million "Cultural Creatives" in Europe as of 2000. Their assertions, though broad and sweeping, shed new light on American culture and demograpics.
Ray and Anderson argue that cultural creatives hold the potential for radically reshaping the values and material realities, the "deep structure," of American life, and so they aim to make this group cognizant of their shared values, to bring about substantive changes.
Ray and Anderson created a questionnaire to identify "Cultural Creatives" in Western society. The below characteristics were identified as qualities of a "Cultural Creative". Agreement with 10 or more indicates status as a "Cultural Creative".
- love of nature and deep caring about its preservation, and its natural balance.
- strong awareness of the planet-wide issues like climate change and poverty and a desire to see more action on them
- being active themselves
- willingness to pay higher taxes or spend more money for goods if that money went to improving the environment
- heavy emphasis on the importance of developing and maintaining relationships
- heavy emphasis on the importance of helping others and developing their unique gifts
- volunteer with one or more good causes
- intense interest in spiritual and psychological development
- see spirituality as an important aspect of life, but worry about religious fundamentalism
- desire equality for women and men in business, life and politics
- concern and support of the well being of all women and children
- want politicians and government to spend more money on education, community programs and the support of a more ecologically sustainable future
- are unhappy with the left and right in politics
- optimism towards the future
- want to be involved in creating a new and better way of life
- are concerned with big business and the means they use to generate profits, including destroying the environment and exploiting poorer countries
- unlikely to overspend or be heavily in debt
- dislike the emphasis of modern cultures on "making it" and "success", on consuming and making money
- like people, places and things that are different or exotic

Red bracket line near $10.45 is resistance; downtrend line is now support near $10.12.
Downtrend line was hurdled and bulls now target red bracket line.
January Soybeans for 11/18/09
Many reasons this year for the swings in price. Bottom line: Bracket lines are areas that correspond with news events. Green are when crops look good, red when the crops do not, or are delayed, aided by demand.
I have always said, "I do not care what the reason the market gets to a location on my chart that presents a trade opportunity".
In my daily numbers on Tuesday my resistance was $.00 3/4 from the actual high; my support was $.02 from the actual low.
Grains: It is like I have seen this movie before, I said yesterday the story goes like this "I think we will at least jab above the fall highs in corn only about $.10 away, and soybeans $.20, to get buy stops and see if it attracts more buying, and see if sellers reappear. I believe we are not going too much higher from there," Corn acted like it was not in the movie so going $.10 higher was not in the picture, but soybeans jabbing above their autumn high by a few cents and allowed for in my chart resistance numbers was, and the slight pullback tonight confirms the trade. I sold at the $10.17 mark on Tuesday, took out a few cents on a couple and got stopped out on 3 at $10.23. I sold again near the close at $10.30 and bought the November back at $10.26 tonight to cover the last of my bull spread (SF/SX). I sold them at +4 on the Jan, and some I bought -9.
Looks like another night of us little guys evening up their positions with no sign of fund activity. This market is really strong with all things being considered. The funds are in there buying and they are like a freight train coming down the track, but like last year they do derail and crash, and then they are taken out of service, forever. But this train has been rolling and I think it has enough steam that it wants to go a little higher. If January soybeans can close above $10.32 I think they can go $.50 higher. The funds allocate money in commodities, and when they look around at the price of gold they must think grains are cheap relative to other sectors.
Yes, we have rallied to our autumn highs, but consider 2008. Relative to fall 2008 capitulation lows, the soybean market has rallied $2.53, corn $1.12 and wheat $1.19. Relative to 2008 highs however, the wheat market is off $5.00, soybeans are off $6.29 and corn is off $3.63. Fund managers who think that 2010 wheat global acreage is going to make 2010/2011 stocks tight is probably the main fundamental reason behind the unbelievable buying. With this price it is hard to believe wheat producers will not plant pillar to post and hedge it. Wheat does not have a good outlook fundamentally going forward, and selling wheat buying corn risking $.20 makes sense if I wanted to trade wheat (I do not) especially if I wanted to sell wheat (which I would). One of the main reasons I have not traded wheat for years is the fact the options are not really liquid, compared to the volume in corn and bean options it is almost nonexistent.

This is a scheduled post as I'm currently at the beach!
Today we have Annmarie from The Simply Swift Blog
I write over at The Simply Swift Blog and although I'm a pretty new blogger, I am LOVING the blogosphere! It makes for a great creative outlet and a fantastic way to meet new friends. I hope you'll stop by!
Because we've only just met, I thought I'd share a few things that you won't find on my about me page:
- I grew up on the North Shore of Massachusetts and only moved out of my childhood home to move in with my then boyfriend/now husband, Brian
- I've only ever broken one toe, the "ring" toe on my right foot.
- When Brian and I get home, we do a little "yay, you're home!" for the other. I don't know when it happened but we never talked about it, it just happens
- I'm addicting to graham cracker ice cream, curling my hair, driving for no other reason than just to talk, and even numbers of things
Now that we're friends, I feel like I can reveal something that until only recently, nobody had ever seen before. It's hilarious, a little tiny bit gross, and when you know the story behind it, adorable. It's about me and my sister, Kara. To learn about our story, read this post. In case you don't have the time (or the tissues, because you miiight cry), I'll give you the short version. Three years ago in April, my mom sat me down and told me I had a sister. I grew up as an only child with just my mom (my dad left when I was a baby and passed away six years ago. I promise this isn't a saddy post) and didn't know until recently that they had a daughter before me. Because of their lifestyle at the time, they chose a closed adoption for her. Fast forward to September of 2011, we found her! We met on 9.10.11, and we've been
best friends
sisters ever since. She's amazing! Our bond was almost immediate. After the initial first date-ish conversations to get to know the basics about each other, we decided to start tackling the endless list of childhood activities we missed out on as kids. We've colored coloring books, played at playgrounds, she even curled my hair for the very first time a few weekends ago!
Anyway, one of the most memorable of these experiences was our decision to play Chubby Bunny. Please say you know what I'm talking about! A ridiculous (and sort of crazy) game of stuffing marshmallows in your mouth and saying "chubby bunny" each time until you can't fit any more or say it again. It's hilarious. And super competitive which we both love. That's what I'm sharing with you today... the top secret video. Before you watch, know these things - the sniffling, the drooling... I know it's gross. But it's totally worth it. I promise! - I definitely think I counted wrong. I think we tied. - I know the JFK skateboard is weird. It's my husband's. I gave it to him as a gift years ago because he's obsessed with the JFK conspiracy, and he refuses to take it down "because it's a piece of ART, Annmarie!" - We didn't mean for the slow jam from The Voice to be our soundtrack. Sometimes magic just happens. Ha! Enjoy! Chubby Bunny Video
Now that you've seen one of the weirdest things I've ever done, I hope you'll stop by The Simply Swift Blog from time to time to check up on me and Kara. I'm sure the embarrassment doesn't end there! :)
Thank you Annmarie for giving us a little insight about yourself! Don't forget to go check out her blog @ The Simply Swift Blog
P.S: Please do vote for me for a Missguided competition HERE - it will only take a few seconds and I'll be eternally grateful!

STOCKTON - Discussion continues about the new immigration reform proposed last week, but there's one group still in the dark about it: local immigrant workers.
STOCKTON - Discussion continues about the new immigration reform proposed last week, but there's one group still in the dark about it: local immigrant workers.
"If they know, they're confused," said Nelly Paredes, who runs the immigration program at El Concilio and works with Citizenship Project in Oakdale.
Local immigration service organizations and activists say they're hearing of immigration consultants claiming they could begin the immigration process for clients. In fact, the bill isn't even law yet.
Consultants should not work an any case until a reform passes, Paredes said.
"There are persons who want to take advantage of the situation," said Luis Magana, an activist with Proyecto Voz.
The workers "understand something is cooking," Paredes said.
But the system is complicated and "many people have trouble grasping it," said Jose Rodriguez, executive director of El Concilio.
All Ramon Moncada knows about the reform is that "they're giving an opportunity to fix our papers," he said.
"The truth is, I don't really know too much about it," Moncada said. Moncada, a 27-year-old undocumented immigrant from Nayarit, Mexico, has worked in the United States for six years, sending money to his parents in Mexico.
"It's good. Yes, they want to give us papers," said Pedro Hernandez, a 47-year-old undocumented worker from Mexico who has worked in the United States for seven years.
"It's good, so we can get a secure job."
A temporary worker program would be in place to fill jobs Americans are not willing to do, under the proposed bill. Under that program, workers may only come three times for periods of two years. An agricultural worker program would also be implemented as part of the temporary program. Staying in the United States, though, will not be easy.
Undocumented workers like Moncada and Hernandez might have a chance. If they can prove they've been here before January 2007, that is.
And if they can pay $5,000, learn to speak English, prove they're educationally or skillfully qualified to work here, obtain an offer in a high-demand field, prove they have work experience in the United States and show they have family ties here, among other things. Then, as head of household, they must return to their country of origin for some time to submit their residency application.
Omar Gonzalez, unlike his peers, was able to name a number of points from the proposed reform.
Gonzalez, 22, doesn't think it's fair he pay $5,000 to become legal. "Where would I get that money from?" he said. Gonzalez, a native of Vera Cruz, Mexico, makes $30 to $40 a day as a day laborer.
A hopeful musician and singer by night, Gonzalez said he's been here since 2005, but probably can't prove it, since he gets paid under the table, a common pay method for illegal immigrant workers. Paredes said many illegal immigrants probably won't pass the residency test.
"The skills of these people are mostly in agricultural," she said.

A Tribute to Gilles Poupon, CEA-Leti's Advanced Packaging Pope
Sitting in the bus on the way back from Grenoble to Airport Lyon, I am reflecting the last two days during which we honored Gilles Poupon, the Advanced Packaging "Pope" of CEA Leti. Upon his retirement at the end of November 2017, somehow an era ends. I have known Gilles for quite a long time: He reminded of the first time we met. It was 2003 in Munich.

One of the first topics I addressed on this blog was that of calling. I looked at questions about the nature of calling, what we really mean when we use the term, and whether we use it as it is used in the Bible. Feel free to take a look at the two earlier posts on the subject if you would like (I Hear Jesus Calling Part 1, I Hear Jesus Calling Part 2).
In my church history class, as we've zoomed through important figures in the early eras of the church, an interesting theme has surfaced regarding calling. Someone in class mentioned it, and professor Marc Cortez gave us some helpful clarifying comments.
Among the figures we've looked at, there has been no indication of viewing calling as a deep, personal feeling given by God. In fact, in looking specifically at the calling to pastoral ministry, or to the ordination as a bishop (which would have been the rough equivalent), almost universally, the church fathers did not want to be ordained, or at least did not seek it out for themselves. Calling to "ministry," or in this case, church leadership, was not between a person and God, but was mediated either through the community of the church, or through the leaders of the church, or both. It would have been unheard of at this time for a Christian to approach their church leaders and tell them that they had been called to be a bishop or elder. What a radically different picture than what we see today!
In my previous posts, I suggested that what we usually term "calling" is more aptly described along the lines of "what God has prepared me to do for him" as opposed to an external, explicit call from God to a very specific task, such as was given to Paul or Isaiah. It would seem that in the early church, a call to church leadership was viewed as coming from God through the community rather than an individual feeling or leading from God. But is this the biblical way of things, and we have gone astray, or is it the other way around?
Almost certainly, the correct answer is not one or the other, but something between the two, as we are almost always out of balance one way or another. However, on first glance, I lean rather forcefully towards the model practiced by the church fathers.
It seems to follow the biblical model more closely (choosing of Matthias to replace Judas, choosing of Stephen and the others, etc.), and would also seem to swing the pendulum away from an overly individualized Christian life, which I think we suffer from in Western Christianity. I think that it would also lead to fewer Pastors who are entirely ungifted for the task. Unfortunately, in part due to the way we talk about calling, there are plenty of Christians who want to follow Jesus more closely and radically dedicate their lives to him, and they feel that the only way to really do that is to be a pastor or missionary. Thus they may head off to seminary with the best of intentions, but little gifting for the office to which they think they have been called. I tell you, as a seminary student, this seriously gives me pause.
This has been a bit of a ramble, but it is far too late for me to be writing, so you'll have to forgive me. There is a great deal more to be explored here, and I must certainly do so soon, providing I can make the time.
Please share your thoughts with me.
When you think of the call to ministry, do you lean towards a call by the community, or an individual leading from God? Should those who have offered themselves up as candidates for church leadership take a step back? Is it proper for them to nominate themselves, or would it be better to love God with all you are, serve him with all your heart, and participate in leading the church only if you are called to do so by God, through the community, directed by the leadership of the church?
Can you think of any counter-examples from early church history that would speak to this discussion?
