As seen in 2013 Spring Issue of Instyle Magazien hair edition, the Sultra Diva pressing iron is praised for simplifying the process of straightening coarse, thick hair.

Perfect For Extrememly Coarse Hair!I am Caucasian (but part Israeli) and have very very thick, coarse, unruly, curly/frizzy hair. Someone suggested the Sultra Seductress but after reading some reviews, I didn't think it would be strong enough to straighten my hair. I saw a suggestion about the Diva and started to research. After a review on Amazon that said NOT to follow the directions and to take larger pieces of hair for perfect results, I decided to take advantage of the Folica code and buy the Diva. OMG, I could not believe the results. I have never been able to achieve the same results on my own with any other iron. The only way I could get my hair that straight was at the salon. I think the Diva Pressing Creme included in the box is also necessary for that sleek, smooth hair. I do not recommend this iron for people with regular curly, Caucasian hair, A few days later, I ironed my friend's hair. She has the same type of hair as me but hers is a little curlier and more difficult to straighten. I did not take before photos of my hair, but I took before and after photos of her hair and am uploading them into this review. I did not use the Diva Pressing Creme on her hair. I wish Folica sold the Diva Pressing Creme because I need to stock up on it,

Perfect For Extrememly Coarse Hair!I am caucasian, but 1/2 Israeli and I have extememly thick, coarse, unruley hair. I was going to purchase the Sultra Seductress, but saw a review where someone said it doesn't work great on my type of hair. I looked into this one and saw a review on Amazon that said not to follow the instructions. Instead, run larger portions of hair through the iron. I followed her instuctions and used the Diva Creme that came with the iron (why does Folica not sell the creme?). I am absolutely AMAZED at the results. I usuallt have to get my hair professionally blow dried and ironed by my Domincan Hair Stylist to get these results. Not only was my hair pin straight and shiney, but it lasted for close to a week. I highly recommend this iron to anyone with my type of hair. If you have regular Caucation girls. go for the Seductress.

XTO has donated $500 to the Local Interagency Coordinating Council. The LIC began functioning with a series of grants. The planning grant was lost two years ago so the council lost its coordinator Gareldine Wright. The LIC is set up to focus on activities for youth. Including at risk youth and low income or just those in danger of falling through the cracks.
This also included disabled youth who might need extra funds to allow them to participate in the same programs as other children.
The LIC is a valuable resource to fund, but no funding was available to keep the council going. The council then decided to refocus and look for other avenues of funding to keep the programs going. One new focus is to educate families. The council is focusing on an education component. The council approves or disapproves projects for the flexible funding. One project the council has agreed to take on is the family awareness night. This is where the funds donated by XTO and other organizations come into play. This awareness night will be held on Sept. 12 at Emery High beginning at 6 p.m.
The topics for this night will include workshops on drugs, parenting, internet safety and a variety of others. A dinner will be provided. The workshops will be pertinent for a variety of age groups. The council is also planning a nursery for the small children so parents will be able to attend the workshops while their children are being watched.
Emery High students will also be able to earn extra credit for attending the awareness night.
The council estimated they would need $2,000 for the event and they have raised $1,500 to date. If anyone would like to donate to the event they can contact Delena Fish at the Workforce Services at 381-6100.
Boni Seal and Julie Jones are the co-chairs for the Emery County Healthy Families Coalition.
They hope to involve a number of volunteers in pulling this event together.
If you are interested in helping you can contact the co-chairs at 687-9744.
The Hypno Hick, Shaun Dee will again visit Emery County for a repeat performance at the fair on Aug. 3. He performed at Fair 2006 for two shows where he packed them in. He had participants dancing, singing, playing in a band and smelling their shoes. It was a funny experience during the afternoon and the word spread quickly as the night time performance was standing room only. The Hypno Hick was born in October of 1975, "I attended Dixie High in the wonderful town of St. George where I was exposed to the powers of hypnosis while attending my psychology class in 1993.
"This exposure began a lifelong and earnest study of hypnosis and the amazing things that the human mind can achieve and that are limited only by the imagination. I found myself experimenting with my little brothers and got a kick out of making them bark like dogs and getting away from them by making them believe they were stuck in their chair.
"During these years I found myself being a natural at entertaining. I love showing the crowd a good time and dishing out the laughs one after another.
"In 2002 I achieved the level of Master Hypnotist and became a Certified Hypnotherapist in March 2003. I have found that hypnosis is extremely powerful in achieving success in almost every aspect of life. It can help you achieve success in business, sports, and life. It is also is one of the most effective and safest means to break bad habits, lose weight, and sleep better. It is also the single best method to reduce stress.
"One of my great joys is doing fundraisers. Some of which have included organizations for terminal illnesses, school sports, scouts, etc," said the Hypno Hick.
The Utah Department of Transportation will release the Long Range Transportation Plan 2007-2030 for public comment beginning March 26 through April 26.
This plan focuses on capacity projects in the rural and small urban areas of Utah. It can be reviewed at local libraries throughout the state, at UDOT Region offices or online at www.udot.utah.gov.
"Planning for future transportation projects is a comprehensive process that requires the input and perspective of community members, elected officials and public agencies," said UDOT Planning Director John Thomas. "Utah is experiencing tremendous growth and an increased demand for transportation facilities."
Small urban areas across the state are growing rapidly. The St. George area's population has increased from approximately 26,000 residents in 1980 to more than 90,000 in 2000. It is expected to grow to more than 218,000 by 2030. Similarly, Cedar City, Heber City, Hurricane, Moab, Tooele, and Vernal all are growing at record rates.
Public comments regarding the Long Range Transportation Plan 2007-2030 will help UDOT to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the state's plans to increase mobility and address future transportation needs.
"Feedback from those who use our state highways on a daily basis helps us identify transportation solutions that will meet the needs of Utah communities," said Thomas.
In addition to this plan focusing on rural areas, separate plans have been written for the metropolitan areas under the direction of the Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMPO), Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) and the Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization (DMPO). When available, these plans may also be accessed on UDOT's website.
Once public comments are reviewed, an executive summary of all five plans will be produced. This summary, called the Unified Transportation Plan, is due to be released statewide in July.
U.S. 6 Helper Interchange
Project includes the construction of a grade-separated interchange on U.S. Highway 6 at North Main Street in Helper. The interchange will feature a bridge over Main Street with new on- and off-ramps onto U.S. 6. Crews are currently building retaining walls, placing pipe culverts, and driving piles for the bridge. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction with a reduced speed limit. Motorists should expect minimal delays. Expected completion: July 2008.
U.S. 6 Milepost 283-288 (about 10 miles north of I-70)
Project includes the addition of uphill passing lanes. Crews are currently performing shoulder excavation work. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction with a reduced speed limit. Motorists should expect minor delays throughout the summer. Project completion expected by fall 2007.
U.S. 191 Milepost 147-151 (about 15 miles north of Moab)
Project includes the addition of passing lanes. Crews are currently excavating shoulder areas of the roadway. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction with a reduced speed limit of 55 miles per hour. Motorists should expect minimal delays. Project completion is expected in July 2007.
U.S. 191 Milepost 95-110 (about 10 miles south of Moab)
Project includes the addition of passing lanes in three locations (MP 96-99, MP 104-106, and MP 108-110). Crews are currently working from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and are excavating shoulder areas. Traffic is reduced to one lane in alternating directions as directed by flaggers and pilot cars. Motorists should expect delays of up to 20 minutes while traveling through the area. Speed limits are reduced. Project completion is expected in September 2007.
U.S. 491 East of Monticello (Milepost 1-9)
This project includes a total pavement reconstruction, shoulder widening, and the addition of passing lanes. Crews began work April 9 with traffic reduced to one lane in alternating directions as directed by temporary traffic signals. Motorists should expect delays of up to 20 minutes. Project completion is expected in October 2007 with a chip seal project to follow in May or June 2008.
U.S. 491 Between Milepost 9 and Colorado State Line (Milepost 9-17)
Project includes the pavement rehabilitation and shoulder widening of a seven-mile section of U.S. 491. Crews have suspended work until May 15 when they will return to place a chip seal on this nearly complete project. Project completion is expected in July 2007.
American Legion District 5 consists of Emery Carbon, Grand and San Juan counties. This April 21, the district's convention will be held in Huntington at the Senior Center at 11 a.m.
All department officers of the American Legion and the Auxiliary will be in attendance. According to District Commander Ray Quinn and Auxiliary President Carolyn Randall, the convention will be beneficial to all veterans and all members are encouraged to attend.
A mountain man rendezvous will be held for all boy scouts, varsity and venturing scouts at the Buckhorn rendezvous site. Come and join the fun on the Buckhorn.
There will be competitive shooting with Burt Oman as the range master. Shooting will be 22s, shot guns, and blackpowder guns for a combined score. There will be trophies for the top three in Boy Scouts (ages 11-13), and the top three Varsity/Venturing (ages 14-19) combined scores. Come on out and show your stuff and have some springtime fun. There will be lunch.
The Buckhorn rendezvous site is approximately 14 miles east of Castle Dale. The date is April 14 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. All boys, ages 11-19 are welcome. Younger boys need to be accompanied by an adult. There will be no charge for this activity.
The Ferron American Legion Auxiliary #42 works year round to see that our soldiers are not forgotten. For many Emery County residents, they think that Operation Home Support only comes into action during the Christmas holidays. That idea is erroneous.
Jan Hess said, "We send the soldiers a box of supplies with a letter inside at most of the holidays throughout the year. That includes Valentines, Easter, Armed Forces Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We want them to know that we care and they are not forgotten."
The Operation Home Support program began three years ago and has been in action ever since. At the present time they are requesting that all Emery County residents who have a loved one serving in a war zone, such as Iraq and Afghanistan, contact them to get that name on the list to receive a package at the next holiday.
Contact Hess and 384-2753 or Dixie Swasey at 384-3172 to give the name and address of your loved one who is serving our country in a war zone. Don't let your soldier be forgotten. "We are continually looking for donations also," said Hess. She said they need funds for postage and to fill the boxes.
A hotline has been established for the residents of Emery County to report any suspected drug activity. Reports can be made anonymously. Call 381-2888 to report suspicious or suspected drug activity.

Skip to comments.Which State Has the Most Self-Reliant People?
Posted on 07/25/2013 8:03:18 AM PDT by Kaslin
Back in 2010, I put together a "Moocher Index" as a rough measure of which states had the highest levels of welfare dependency after adjusting for poverty rates.
My goal was to answer this question.
Is there a greater willingness to sign up for income redistribution programs, all other things being equal, from one state to another?
It turned out that there were huge differences among states. Nearly 18 percent of non-poor Vermont residents were utilizing one or more welfare programs, putting them at the top of the Moocher Index.
In Nevada, by contrast, less the 4 percent of non-poor residents had their snouts in the public trough.
Does this mean Nevada residents are more self-reliant and Vermont residents are culturally statist?
To be perfectly frank, I don't know, in part because the Moocher Index was an indirect measure of attitudes about dependency.
So I was very interested when I came across some state-by-state numbersfrom the Department of Agriculture showing food stamp participation compared to food stamp eligibility.
There are some clear similarities between these food stamp numbers and the Moocher Index. Maine and Vermont are in the top 3 of both lists, which doesn't reflect well on people from that part of the country.
And Nevada and Colorado are in the bottom 10 of both lists.
But there's no consistent pattern. Mississippi and Hawaii are in the top 10 of the Moocher Index but bottom 10 for food stamp utilization.
What really stands out, though, is that the people of California win the prize for self reliance, at least with regard to food stamps. Only 55 percent of eligible people from the Golden State have signed up for the program. Doesn't make sense when you look at some of the crazy things that are approved by California voters, but I assume the numbers are accurate.
I'm also surprised that folks from New Jersey are relatively unlikely to utilize food stamps.
On the other hand, why are Tennessee residents so willing to use my wallet to buy food?
As you can see from the map, they not only have a very high participation/eligibility rate, but also have one of the highest overall levels of food stamp dependency.
Oregon, not surprisingly, always does poorly, whether we're looking at a map or a list.
Let's close with a few real-world examples of what we're getting in exchange for the tens of billions of dollars that are being spent each year for food stamps.
With stories like this, I'm surprised my head didn't explode during this debate I did on Larry Kudlow's show.
Well this blows a hole in the left's assertion that Red states are the moochers. Often states like Alabama (toothless rednecks like me) are blamed as being welfare queens (and Kings).
My rub I have with this is the amount of illegals that will skew the numbers. Maine does not have the illegal problem that say Texas or other more southern states have that add to this index. You remove the illegals and their citizen anchor family the numbers would be a lot different in some states.
Had a vendor from Massachusetts treat me to lunch a couple of months ago. If you think mooching in your state is bad, he told me about a lady there who broke down a machine which returned cash for aluminum cans. Seems she was too lazy to even drink the contents of the cans first. At least our slackards in Pennsylvania will do that much.
What about the terrorists who sneak in with the illegals through the tunnels from Mexico? Does that not concern you?
'What really stands out, though, is that the people of California win the prize for self reliance, at least with regard to food stamps. Only 55 percent of eligible people from the Golden State have signed up for the program. Doesnt make sense when you look at some of the crazy things that are approved by California voters, but I assume the numbers are accurate."
Actually you have to read all the foot notes on all pages. Then you learn that Calif gives out state food funds to 1.3 million and those people were not included in the numbers since they receive state food stamps and not USDA food stamps.
I was happy and surprised to see Texas ranked so low. I can tell you, from an observational point people are starving here.
But I am guessing 0dumbo, who HATES Texas will spend money advertising here to get more people/ votes signed up
I get what this guy is trying to do, but, quite frankly, his methodology for the "Moocher Index" is rubbish. All he did was subtract the percentage of a state's population that is below the poverty line from the percentage of the state's population that receives public benefits. The obvious problem with this approach is that, while the official "poverty line" is uniform accross the country, the eligibility rules for public benefits are often adjusted to account for cost-of-living differences between certain areas. The failure of the "Moocher Index" calculation to adjust for this effect renders the number essentially meaningless.
What's the state Motto,,"Live for Free or die"?
I mean people are NOT starving in Texas
I'm thinking, to explain California's relatively fewer moochers, that maybe the rural poor don't do food stamps as much because it is not as easy to get over to wherever you sign up?
Also, good produce and staples are not that expensive, compared to some place like Maine that is nowhere near where it is actually grown.
We'd have a lot less poverty in California if the farmers were allowed some water again. The last time I drove on I-5 in the central valley, there were acres and acres of dead orchards.
Yes, but I don't see your correlation. I am speaking of not counting illegals when tallying welfare recipients since they are here illegally anyway, in the context of labeling a state a moocher state or not.
All of them do...outside any city.
Whew - I was just going to ask you about that - the other reason that I don't see mentioned anywhere is that people are no longer asked to prove their income to qualify.
Is that why they keep electing Reid?
Read an article about a dead beat dad who resides in TN. He has 22 children by 14 women ... costing TN over $7,000 a month.
I was just wondering if union membership is factored into charts like this? Unions mooch in other ways than EBT cards. There's a great article on Am Thinker about Detroit that is very different than many of the articles I've read about why it's going under. Worth the read - How Detroit Almost Killed My Business - if you haven't done so.
I don't know if either New Mexico or Tennessee might be in the high 40's (45-48) for education.
Having an educational system that is considered one of the worst in the country (Louisiana and Mississippi) is never a good sign.
Louisiana has suffered for political corruption for decades... So it will take time to overcame that as well.
The number of illegals in Texas is multiplying every day. We're having to build new school campuses constantly resulting in higher school tax. Our senior in HS kid stopped by his middle school one day and was shocked at how many more Mexicans were there just since he'd been there.
The dead beat dad of 22 kids is getting his own tv show. Maybe he'll be able to get off the dole. BTW, I will NOT be watching.
With gladness, I note that Indiana is WAY down the list!
With sadness, I note that NO state is LESS THAN 50%.
Well; it was fun while it lasted; but pull the lever a second time so this thing will finally flush.
I am pretty sure that on the forms they fill out their income and assets are asked for
What likely does not happen is that those numbers are verified.
I know the state of Texas app calls for income etc verification
but I would be surprised is anyone checks
if you read the link it states that Calif gives state food stamps to over 1.3 million
and that 1.3 million people is not included in the YSDa number
so you are getting hosed twice, once with taxes to Fed to pay for food stamps
and again with your state taxes.
One word: Memphis!
Something about this info doesn't seem right.
I guess it really depends what state you live in as to how well financial docs are checked. It seems like this runs very deep in the fraud and corruption. Here is an interesting analysis - check out JP Morgan's involvement & the Soda pop companies — give me a break.
Bummer. Thought I had caught a whiff of something positive there. Guess not.
isn't it interesting that YOU thought it would have been a good thing if Calif ranked low in the participation rate
but liberals and 0dumbo would have been upset since they know using OUR money to give freebies to others gets them votes
Both states have very high populations of African Americans. I know I am racist to point this out, but just as blacks make up a disproportionate number of criminals, so do they too consume welfare and other government handouts, as well as do poorly in school.
I wish is was not so, and would like to see them all do better, especially in education, but the culture is that doing well in school = acting white, and those who do so are pariahs among their peers.
Yes, we are grooming the future Democrat voter base in TX, but maybe Greg Abbott will still win in 2014.
Southern Democrats are to blame, in my opinion
I would consider it more the plantation aspect of these states.
Most these people have been neglected since the Civil War.
The Segregation imposed on the South by the Southern Democratic Party made things even worse.
White sharecroppers were another part of this formula.
There have been some good movies about the plight of sharecroppers (1950's or 1960's movies, that is).
There were some poor whites. But part of this was the oppression of Southern African-Americans at the hands of the Southern Democrats.
Eisenhower and JFK Sr made strides to stop this oppression.
True, but you've basically stopped your analysis in the late '60s.
The South has moved on considerably since then, making great strides as well.
There are no longer racist cops and rednecks cruising about ready to harass or lynch blacks. I'm not saying you said that, but that is an impression many people believe about the South in those previous times and even today. It did occur, yes, and once is too many times, but it wasn't an everyday occurrence and many whites where VERY offended by any of it.
But still, let's get back to the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. Great, God-is-Awesome things happened in the 60s and we really made more progress in the 1970s. Then something happened in the 1980s. Crack cocaine and the culture of drugs and the drug dealers. Rap and then hip-hop came out on top of that. This became a culture, and that culture destroyed and is destroying the Black race. Companies are always on the lookout for qualified Blacks to work for them yet few get the education to become that qualified employee. It is a choice THEY made. No whites are holding them down at all. My God! All they have to do is make it happen, and they're in like Flint. But few do. Why?
Is it the past? If so, NOTHING can change the PAST. Only moving on is possible, or wallow in self-pity over past events. Past events, which are becoming so ancient that anyone even remotely responsible for them, even white Southern Racist democrats of yore, are dead.
And saying Whites have it made and continue to do so on the past triumphs of racism and don't even realize it just DOESN'T cut it. Come on, ALL whites? I know plenty of poor ones—I used to be one—still am in some ways—and NO ONE has given me a leg up on anything! I've been screwed many a time, but each time I've picked myself up and moved on. In fact, I'm doing that right now after suffering huge loses both professionally and personally this year. It's all a man (read HUMAN) can do.
Isn't generalizations of your race bad? Why generalize mine? Every time I hear, You whites this and you whites that... And I hear this a lot, I tune out. I'm not that white guy. I'm me. find out what I really think and believe BEFORE you think you've figured me out due to my skin color. Isn't that exactly what Dr. King was after, after all?
So how does an individual of this race, trapped in a violent, no good culture, one that looks down on honest work and education, succeed? Firstly, they must reject the culture!
Blaming YT is not going to change a thing except maybe get you MORE dependent on YT through his government and handouts.
Get off your ass and move on is my advice. Anything else simply won't work

Utah Author C. Michelle Jefferies is releasing her first novel Nov. 8. Emergence, a work of adult futuristic suspense, will be available in both electronic and paper formats through Walnut Springs Press. There will be an official book launch open to the public on Nov. 8, at the Senior Center in Castle Dale from six to nine that evening. There will be specially priced books, food, children's crafts, and the author will give a reading and answer questions at 6:30 p.m.
Hit man, Antony Danic, has never killed an innocent man. At least, the corporation he works for has never given him a reason to think otherwise-until now. Reeling from a series of complications and troubled assignments, the assassin is desperate for some downtime. As he sits on a white sandy beach in Tahiti watching his wife play in the waves, he can almost feel the ten-day vacation start to ease his tired muscles and calm his racing thoughts-until a messenger from his employer delivers a death threat. In a matter of seconds, the hunter has become the hunted. As he scrambles to find a way out of his "till death do us part" contract, he's faced with the decision of a lifetime. Continue with business as usual and kill another innocent man-or do what's right, even if it puts his family in jeopardy.
Utah native C. Michelle Jefferies is an Emery County transplant of five years. She is the mother of six boys and one girl and spends her time writing and working toward her black belt, in Tang Soo Do in Ferron. She loves yard sales, thrift stores and anything Asian or Australian.
Jefferies has a short story called "A Real Tree" in the Christmas story anthology called Sing We Now Of Christmas, released this October, and a middle grade book about manners tentatively called Enchanted Etiquette, which will be out spring 2013.

Comments about Babyletto Kyoto Ottoman (Ecru with Mocha Piping):
We used this glider when our first son was born and loved it so much we got it for our second baby. We used it with the Kyoto glider the first time and now are using it with the Nara glider. It is amazingly comfortable and works wonders for nursing. (I have fallen asleep many nights with my feet up!) Now that our first son is a toddler he loves to run into this resulting in lots of food and other lovely things smeared on the ottoman - but the material makes it wonderfully easy to clean. This is a must-have!

While San Diego is home to the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld and Legoland California, not all vacation budgets can accommodate the expensive admissions rates associated with these theme parks. Whether you've already visited these attractions during a previous visit or you're saving them for your next Southern California adventure, there are still many affordable San Diego activities fun for individuals of all ages.
If you're on a romantic vacation, don't skip:
- Coronado – The beaches of Coronado are always shimmering under the San Diego sunshine. Watch the sunset, walk along the beach or window shop in town. Whatever you decide to do, Coronado is a great destination for a bit of romance.
- Happy Hour in the Gaslamp – If you're on a tight budget, there are many restaurants that offer happy hour in the Gaslamp. From rooftop bars to first class restaurants, dine at happy hour with a specialty cocktail instead of going to a full multi-course meal. Click here for more information about the Gaslamp Quarter.
If you're traveling with young children, check out:
- Balboa Park – Guests can explore the park grounds free of charge. Stop by for a picnic lunch and let your kids run around the park's many grassy hills.
- Seaport Village – During the day, Seaport Village is the ideal spot for young children. Watch kites fly by, ride the historic carousel or check out street performances by magicians and balloon artists.
If you're visiting San Diego with teenagers, stop by:
- The USS Midway Museum – The admissions fee for this museum is significantly less than others in area and provides visitors with a look into the rich history of the USS Midway. Plus, teenagers love the museums' interactive exhibits.
- Belmont Park – After spending a day at Mission beach, head to Belmont Park, San Diego's waterfront amusement park. Admission into the park is free and the cost of rides and games won't break the bank.
Reserve a room at our cheap hotel in Downtown San Diego and enjoy our central location and save even more by skipping the rental car. If you have additional questions about activities near our hotel, don't hesitate to contact us!

However, that doesn't mean the Enel won't be the one who replaced Dofla as the next Shichibukai. That is quite possible.
Speaking of Level 6, we have yet to actually meet an escaped Level 6 prisoner. I'm looking forward to when that happens, and I do hope the new shichibukai won't be the first level 6 we meet.

Good Ground Pork
Jan 5, 2016 | By danielle
We use this frequently for meatloaf and meatballs. It has a nice mild flavor, and I love the way it is packaged. Will buy again!
Good Stuff!

This sausage is a family favorite! Just the right amount of flavor. Will definitely continue to purchase.
Too expensive, but the only game in town

I live in central Oregon and I used to be able to buy Organic Prairie products everywhere: Fred Meyer, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods. Now nobody carries anything. When I ask for your products at every store I'm told that the distributor no longers carries them. I won't be ordering often because with shipping the price for the ground pork works out to over $16.00 a pound. Sigh.

I enjoyed that there was no pink slime added.
great quality and flavor!
May 7, 2014 | By arlene
It's virtually impossible to find organic pork these days, and with the way regular pork is fed, treated, and processed, I refuse to buy it. However, I buy Organic Prairie ground pork as often as I can. It has good flavor and texture, and I'm delighted that there are no GMO ingredients,fillers or preservatives. I've even invented a couple of recipes of my own to use it.

Power Stations Threaten People and Wildlife with Mercury Poisoning
Nairobi, 3 February 2003 - Mercury poisoning of the planet could be significantly reduced by curbing pollution from power stations, a new report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) suggests.
The report, compiled by an international team of experts, says that coal-fired power stations and waste incinerators now account for around 1,500 tons or 70 percent of new, quantified man-made mercury emissions to the atmosphere. The lion's share is now coming from developing countries with emissions from Asia, at 860 tons, the highest.
"As combustion of fossil fuels is increasing in order to meet the growing energy demands of both developing and developed nations, mercury emissions can be expected to increase accordingly in the absence of the deployment of control technologies or the use of alternative energy sources," says the report.
Artisinal mining of gold and silver, which is happening in an increasing number of less developed nations, is another significant source of mercury pollution, releasing an estimated 400-500 tons of mercury annually to the air, soils, and waterways.
Mercury is used to extract these precious metals from ores, resulting in elevated exposures and risks for the miners and their families, as well as contamination of the local and regional environment.
Once in the atmosphere, this hazardous heavy metal can travel hundreds and thousands of miles, contaminating places far away from the world's sites where the pollution was originally discharged.
Reducing other pollution from power stations may also reduce the threats from mercury to humans and wildlife in indirect but equally important ways.
Temperature can also influence releases of mercury from contaminated sediments and soils into rivers, lakes and other freshwaters, the report suggests.
Here it can convert to methylmercury, one of it's most poisonous and hazardous forms, and build up in fish and other aquatic life forms with potentially harmful impacts on adults and infants. Numerous studies have linked brain damage in babies to mercury poisoning of their mothers as a result of eating contaminated fish.
Fish is still a beneficial food, and low to moderate consumption is considered safe and a healthy dietary practice. However, people who eat higher amounts of contaminated fish or marine mammals such as seals, may be at risk of mercury poisoning.
Most people are primarily exposed to methylmercury through eating contaminated fish. However, additional mercury exposures can occur through dental amalgams and certain occupational activities. Also, personal use of skin lightening creams and soaps, mercury use for religious, cultural and ritualistic purposes, use in some traditional medicines, use of vaccines and some other pharmaceuticals containing mercury preservatives (such as Thimerosal/Thiomersal) and mercury in the home and working environment can contribute to elevated exposures.
A study of women in the United States, also cited in the new report, has found that about 1 in 12, or just under five million have mercury levels in their bodies above the level considered safe by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Just three years ago, the United States Research Council estimated that about 60,000 babies born each year in the U.S. could be at risk of brain damage with possible impacts ranging from learning difficulties to impaired nervous systems. However, based on more recent exposure data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some scientists think the number of at risk babies could be as high as 300,000. Globally the number could run into the millions.
Klaus Toepfer, UNEP's Executive Director, said: "Mercury is a substance that can be transported in the atmosphere and in the oceans around the globe, travelling hundreds and thousands of miles from where it is emitted. It has long been recognised as a health hazardous substance".
For example the Mad Hatter, of Alice in Wonderland fame, was so called because hatters used mercury to strengthen hats and were once exposed to high levels of mercury vapours.
"This new report, requested from UNEP by governments two years ago, shows that the global environmental threat to humans and wildlife has not receded despite reductions in mercury discharges, particularly in developed countries. Indeed it shows that the problems remain and appear, in some situations to be worsening as demand for energy, the largest source of human-made mercury emissions, climbs," he said.
"There are many compelling scientific, environmental and health arguments for curbing pollution linked with energy production. The mercury report gives us another compelling reason to reduce society's dependence on carbon intensive energy supplies," added Mr Toepfer.
Acid rain, again often the result of power station pollution, may be aggravating the problem.
High levels of acidity in rivers, lakes and streams, also appears to trigger releases of mercury from soils and sediments and its conversion into methylmercury.
The findings may explain why so many fish in parts of the world where acid rain has been an issue are contaminated. For example in southern and central Finland, an estimated 85 per cent of pike weighing a kilo or more, have methylmercury concentrations that exceed international health limits.
Other important sources of mercury releases include cement production, chlor-alkali production, crematories, manufacture of electrical switches, thermometers, fluorescent lamps, dental amalgams and rubbish tips containing wastes such as old batteries and other mercury-containing products.
Slash and burn agriculture and the clearing of forests may be increasing releases of mercury to rivers. Meanwhile, mercury contamination in parts of Europe may be affecting the tiny organisms that regulate the fertility of soils, says the study.
This may also be having an indirect effect on climate change as soil microorganisms play a key role in the storage of carbon from the atmosphere.
These are some of the findings to emerge from the global study of mercury carried out by experts for UNEP. The report is being presented to environment ministers from across the world who are attending UNEP's Governing Council, and will form the basis for political decisions that will set the course for global action on mercury for years to come. The Council is meeting at the organization's headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, from 3 to 7 February 2003.
The findings also come in advance of World Water Day, which happens on 22 March and is being organized by UNEP. It will be celebrated at the World Water Forum taking place in Kyoto, Japan.
Here the findings will have special significance. Several thousand people were made ill or died in Japan in the 1950 and 60s as a result of eating seafood heavily contaminated by mercury in Minamata Bay.
The experts who have compiled the report are asking governments attending the GC to consider a list of options for addressing the dangers of mercury. These include reducing risks by reducing or eliminating the production, use and release of mercury; substituting other non-mercury based products and processes; launching talks for a legally-binding treaty; establishing a non-binding global programme of action; and strengthening cooperation amongst governments on information-sharing, risk communication, assessment and related activities. They also recommend around a dozen "immediate actions" including public awareness programmes targeted at sensitive populations such as pregnant women; waste disposal facilities for the safe destruction of obsolete, mercury-containing pesticides and pollution control technologies for power stations.
Notes to Editors
Power Stations
Coal fired power stations and waste incinerators account for nearly 1,500 tons of mercury being released to the air annually, mainly as a result of burning coal the latest figures show. The highest emissions, estimated at 860 tons a year, are from Asia followed by Africa, 197 tons; Europe, 186 tons; North America, 105 tons; Australia and Oceania, 100 tons and South America, 27 tons.
Studies indicate that mercury contamination of fish is higher in smaller lakes. "This may be explained by small lakes being warmer, increasing the methylation of mercury (conversion into its more toxic form). This relationship may have further important implications for the methylation of mercury and its accumulation in fish in the context of long-term climate change," says the report.
Levels of Mercury in the Environment and Their Impacts on Humans
Mercury is a naturally occurring metal released into the environment from rocks, soil and volcanoes. However, human activities, from gold mining to burning coal in power stations, have boosted atmospheric levels three fold since pre-industrial times, the report says.
Mercury and its even more hazardous compounds, such as methylmercury, are highly toxic and can build up the bodies of wildlife and humans. Effects on the brain can include irritability, tremors, disturbances to vision, memory loss, impaired coordination and other adverse effects. Fetuses, the newborn and young children are particularly vulnerable because of the sensitivity of the developing nervous system.
The report also cites some recent scientific evidence linking mercury exposure to cardiovascular problems including raised blood pressure, palpitations and heart disease.
Other effects have been found on the thyroid gland, which regulates growth, the digestive system, the liver and the skin including peeling on hands and feet, itching and rashes.
Eating Fish
The biggest source of human exposure is from eating fish. Low to moderate consumption is not a concern, but those eating higher amounts may be at risk. Fish is being promoted world-wide as a healthy food. The report notes that mercury is a "major threat" to this important food supply.
Predatory fish, towards the top of the food chain, are generally more contaminated. These include species such as king mackerel, pike, shark, swordfish, walleye, barracuda, large tuna, scabbard and marlin.
"The available data indicate that mercury is present all over the globe, especially in fish, in concentrations that adversely effect human beings," says the report.
In some parts of the world like the Arctic, where marine mammals such as seals are a major part of the diet along with fish, the risks of mercury poisoning are even higher.
The report cites studies from North Greenland, where 16 per cent of the population have blood levels exceeding a level that can be toxic to non-pregnant adults. These levels are much higher than the levels considered safe for pregnant women.
Mercury contamination of fish has prompted many countries to issue warnings about eating them. The report cites Sweden where 50 per cent of the approximately 100,000 lakes have pike whose mercury levels exceed international health limits. Detailed recommendations are now given about eating freshwater fish, such as pike, perch, burbot and eel. "Women of childbearing age are recommended not to eat these fish from Swedish lakes at all, and the rest of the population should not eat them more than once a week," says the report.
Canadian experts, contributing to the report, say that flooded lands can become an important source of mercury contamination in fish because more mercury is released and converted to the more toxic form, methylmercury. Indeed one study found that flooded land increases rates of conversion of mercury to the more toxic form 30 fold.
Hot Spots
Some populations are identified in the report suffering chronic mercury exposure. Most of these are linked with small scale or artisinil gold or mining where mercury is used to extract the precious metal from the ore.
The report cites studies in a gold-mining area near Mount Diwata on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines where 70 per cent of workers were found to be suffering chronic mercury intoxication. For those workers involved directly in smelting using mercury, the percentage was even higher at 85 per cent. Around one third of people not directly employed in the industry, but living in the area, also showed signs of chronic mercury intoxication including, tremors, fatigue, sensory disturbances and bluish discolouration of the gums.
Other countries where there may be hot spots as a result of an upsurge in gold mining since the 1970s include Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Burundi, India, Mongolia and Suriname. In total some 10 million people involved in the industry could be at risk of mercury poisoning.
Animals such as otter, mink, osprey, eagles, seals and some whales that rely on fish as a large part of their diet, have the highest mercury levels and may also be at risk. The eggs of certain Canadian birds, such as Leach's Storm Petrel, Atlantic Puffin and Northern Fulmars, have mercury levels that threaten reproduction, the report says.
Mercury levels in Arctic ringed seals and beluga whales have increased by up to four times over the last 25 years in some areas of Canada and Greenland.

Wingers Alex Cuthbert and Harry Robinson will both play their 50th game for Cardiff Blues in Saturday's Pro 12 clash away to the Scarlets.
Wingers Alex Cuthbert and Harry Robinson will both play their 50th game for Cardiff Blues in Saturday's Pro 12 clash away to the Scarlets.
Cuthbert and Robinson, who will move to Saturday's opponents Scarlets in the summer, will hit the half century as Blues hunt a fifth successive league victory to finish the campaign in style.
Coaching duo Dale McIntosh and Paul John make a number of changes to the side that claimed a hard-fought victory over Connacht Rugby last time out.
Centre Isaia Tuifua comes into the starting line-up for the derby clash while there is also a start for fly half Simon Humberstone with Gareth Davies missing the game through injury.
Robin Copeland will make his last appearance for the Blues at eight while Lewis Jones starts at scrum half as Lloyd Williams moves to the bench.
"The confidence we have picked up in recent weeks has helped us. That showed against Connacht in the manner in which we fought back to get the win and we want to keep that going now until the final match," said coach Paul John .
"We wanted to finish the season positively after what happened at Ospreys and we have done that with four wins on a bounce. It will be difficult at Scarlets, they have qualified for the top European competition and they will want revenge after what happened at Judgement Day.
"It's always very tight when two regions go against each other, it's a local derby and it will be exciting for everyone.
"We make some changes as we have some aching bodies and injuries. However, those that go out on the field will want to finish strongly.
"A number of players will leave us after this game and it's important they finish on a high for Blues."
Meanwhile, Jonathan Davies and Josh Turnbull will farewell to the Scarlets.
Scarlets Head Coach Simon Easterby has made five changes to his starting line-up from the side that secured victory, and European qualification, over Newport Gwent Dragons last Friday evening. Steven Shingler moves from fullback to partner captain Jonathan Davies in the centre with Liam Williams making a return to the fullback berth after a two week ban.
Rhodri Williams is handed a start at scrum half with Gareth Davies moving to the replacements bench. Two changes in the pack see Johan Snyman replace the injured George Earle in the second row with Aaron Shingler coming in to the backrow for John Barclay who has undergone routine surgery on his shoulder.
"It's important that we've secured European rugby, we've shown in patches that we've been very good. It was vital that we got that top sixth birth, but we want to finish the season on a high," said Easterby.
Form: Scarlets have already secured European Champions Cup rugby for next season and sixth spot in the RaboDirect PRO12. Scarlets only defeat in their last four PRO12 matches was to Cardiff Blues at Millennium Stadium in the Judgement Day game, 3 weeks ago. Scarlets are unbeaten at Parc y Scarlets in the PRO12 in 2014. Cardiff Blues have won their last four matches since their defeat at Ospreys in round 17 – equalling their best run in the competition since 2010/11. Blues have won only once at a fellow Welsh Region in the last four season of PRO12 play: 16-5 at the Dragons in September 2012. Cardiff Blues' 17-13 victory over Scarlets on 'Judgement Day' ended eight game losing run to their opponents from the West in all tournaments.
The teams:
Scarlets:15 Liam Williams, 14 Kristian Phillips, 13 Jonathan Davies (c), 12 Steven Shingler, 11 Jordan Williams, 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Rhodri Williams, 8 Rob McCusker 7 Aaron Shingler, 6 Josh Turnbull, 5 Johan Snyman, 4 Jake Ball, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Ken Owens, 1 Phil John,
Replacements: 16 Kirby Myhill, 17 Rob Evans, 18 Rhodri Jones, 19 Richard Kelly, 20 Sione Timani, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Olly Barkley, 23 Gareth Maule
Cardiff Blues : 15 Dan Fish, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Cory Allen, 12 Isaia Tuifua, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Simon Humberstone, 9 Lewis Jones, 8 Robin Copeland, 7 Josh Navidi, 6 Macauley Cook, 5 Filo Paulo, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Taufa'ao Filise, 2 Matthew Rees (c), 1 Gethin Jenkins.

The Musts of Brussels
Brussels is a city of contrasts with a huge variety of great places to visit. Take your pick from our listings featuring attractions, museums and monuments.
When in Brussels, you just can't miss the Grand Place, Manneken Pis and Atomium: the three beauties in the capital of Europe.
© Bitc-JPLVandewiele
The The Grand-Place in Brussels is the city's central square and recognised as one of the most beautiful squares in the world. In 1998 it was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
A stone's throw from the Grand Place is the Saint Jacques area: that's where the Manneken Pis stands! This tiny bronze statue, a mere 58cm high, symbolises the independent spirit of the people of Brussels.
A date with Grandeur
© Karina Nestler
The The Atomium - Monument and Symbol Built for Expo 58, a 102 mt high monument, was built by André Waterkeyn for the 1958 World Fair.
Just under the Atomium step into the whole of Europe in just a few hours at the Mini-Europe, the EU's most beautiful monuments in Brussels park as you admire the miniscale models of the biggest monuments in the European Union.
The Royal Greenhouses in Laeken were built by architect Alphonse Balat under the request of King Léopold II, to keep his lush plants in it.
Art in the city centre
At the heart of the Mont des Arts district, a stone's throw from the Place Royale, the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM) is housed in the former Old England stores, a jewel of Art Nouveau architecture. The museum offers a genuine musical world tour with around 1,200 exhibits.
Just across the street from the MIM, the Royal Museums of Fine Art of Belgium stand just a few metres the one from the other with a single interconnecting corridor running between the Museum of Ancient Art and the Museum of Modern Art. The Museum of Ancient Art houses a prestigious collection tracing the work of painters from the Low Countries from the 15th to the 17th centuries, as well as a collection of 18th and 19th century sculpture. The Museum of Modern Arts presents a rich panorama of Belgian painting and sculpture of the 19th and 20th century.
At the Hotel Althenloh, also one of the Royal Museums of Fine Art of Belgium, the Magritte Museum - Royal Museums of Fine Arts presents the most important works by the Belgian master of surrealism. With more than 200 works on display, this is the world's largest collection of works by Réné Magritte.
On the other side of the Place Royale, BOZAR is a dynamic arts centre with more than 4,000 m² of exhibition space, a superb concert hall, a chamber music room, two small theatres, three new multimedia rooms, the BOZAR shop, the BOZAR BRASSERIE and the Royal Cinémathèque.
Art in the park
The Cinquantaire is one of the Royal Museums of Art and History, housed in a magnificent building created by Léopold II that stands in the Cinquantenaire Park. It will take you on a fascinating voyage of discovery through art and history.
It hosts national archaeology, European decorative art, classical antiquity and non-European civilizations.
Enjoy your trip!
