Obesity, chemical and biological not just consumption and lack of exercise?
Obesity is rampant in 6-month-old kids, every animal in touch with human cities including rats, zoo etc. How can a six month old be morbidly obese unless a strong endocrine disruption is occurring? Chemicals in agriculture are certainly suspect as are new viruses. But why would it be a virus unless the immune system is unbalanced?
People over ate decades ago and no one saw a 400-1000 pound person except in a circus.
May 19 2012: There has been some great research showing that the traditional focus on calorie surplus/deficit is flawed because not all calories are equal in their impact on the human body. Part of the biological malfunction that occurs has to do with the way refined sugars screw up our insulin regulation system. Once that first domino tips, it goes from there.
The research pointed out that even during the Depression, among people who weren't getting a huge surplus of calories, there was still obesity. The financial empire of complicated diets and exercise, however, don't want us to see how little our fats-to-protein index or our exercise regimens have to do with it compared to the biochemistry of refined sugars and value-subtracted grains.
Jun 13 2012: Can not argue with that but in my mind that is what they want us to believe because that is all we hear about. Let's go outside the box.Jun 17 2012: you have stumped me there Greg, why does anyone need organic pet food??Jun 17 2012: Ever consider there may be a correlation between rising anxiety disorders and rising obesity rates? Yes this could be due to over diagnosis which is currently very rampant and this does not explain animal obesity, but it could very well have a relationship with obesity in many children and adults. When humans feel stress for a prolonged period the body ups its cortisone levels and stores fat in the stomach and lower back. Cortisone has a relationship with the fight or flight response and when the body deems this to be happening it naturally stores fat in anticipation of danger and potential inability to gather food. Modern stress which can be prolonged, as many know, would naturally allow for the body to raise its cortisone levels. The world is a scary place especially with the easy access to media via the internet and television.
You also have to consider the amount of people that take psychiatric medication many of which suffer major weight gains as a side effect. I know, I know, you probably can't attribute the vast obesity rates with the increases in psychiatric medications but it may be a piece of the pie.
good question
-BrianJun 17 2012: Oh well for an other day. I tried.Jun 13 2012: I wonder why TED Conversations has no PR on this subject. Is this being written in a vacuum?Jun 9 2012: We are suffering from a lack of critical thinkers and as the author of Mirage and Blue Revolution, Cynthia Barnett says. People have no idea a theme park and a river are different. entities.
Gave a lecture to students interested in being veterinarians or zoo workers yesterday. One was terrified of animals, sharks reptiles and insects. An other had no idea almost half of some graduating classes from vet school last year did not have a job six months out. No idea vet student debt was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. No idea starting salaries are almost half of what they should be at this time.
No idea that zoos are city and county institutions for the most part and are broke.Jun 4 2012: another thought, anyone ever noticed the exponential rise in obesity has co-incided with the campaign to get people to stop smoking. Smoking is an appetite suppressant, keeps people thin, give up smoking people reach for food to compensate, usually sugar as a compensation for lack of nicotine. Look around you and ask the obese people when they gave up smoking, it is quite fascinating. There is your diabetes epidemic. love the cyclic nature of it
Jun 9 2012: I'm sure those six month olds and the pets, rats and zoo animals just quit smoking. There is a behavior link no doubt but come on!!Jun 4 2012: Greg how do you no know wether the use of agricultural chemicals is not causing either new viruses, as plant disease and pests(also known as an imbalance) become immune to the chenicals applied and so mutate. So companies have to create harsher and harsher chemicals to compensate. There is only so much that our own Tcells can cope with.
Jun 13 2012: That is basically my point.May 30 2012: We have hit a dead end on this subject. Are people just too complacent about industry fixing the system? Has anyone heard of Theo Coburn and estrogenic chemicals? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_Colborn) and this www.endocrinedisruption.org/home.php) Hello any TED people reading this?
How weird is it she has a TEDX site? Second link above.
In EU a chemical has to be proven safe, in the USA they have to be proven harmful (a negative).
This comment today from MED Scape is so poignant,"Can You Prove a Negative? Nope.
Mark Crislip, MD, Infectious Diseases, 12:38AM Jun 20, 2010
It is probably easier to prove a diagnosis than to disprove one. After enough data is in you can say with certainly that, for example, the patient has endocarditis: the right symptoms, positive blood cultures, big vegetation on a valve. Piece of cake. But can I say the patient doesn't have endocarditis? I cannot disprove the existence of Santa, only that there is no reliable information to support his existence (I assume this blog is not being read by 7 year olds and I just dashed some childs dreams to bits, or to bytes).
The same applies to chemicals and the USA sheep keep on getting taken advantage of.
Bec Bowles
Jun 14 2012: Your a cranky bugger, life does tend to get in the way of good intentions. However there is alot of information out there in relation to what you are suggesting, and more and more people are becoming aware of the correlation between chemicals and human illness, I hope you have read the book that started it all off, Rachel Carsons 'Silent Spring". It isn't a dead subject
- +1
Jun 14 2012: I was introduced to Silent Spring the year it was published and became my botany teachers main text. Went to sleep for twenty years then got involved with Audubon, Rachel Carson Council and many more. Have been producing and promoting organic pet bird food for three decades.
Recent reports from the various science groups say the tipping point on many issues is coming faster than predicted. Hope there is a new effort up to the task.May 20 2012: Ya I believe a lot of combinational factors are responsible for this wide spread of obesity in the world ..About 1 billion people are in the condition of obesity..The main responsible for the obesity is lack of exercises...not the present generation but the past generation of the victims who are being encountered by the obesity today...The reason is the past generations didn't trained their children to live in a natural way for which their work is done by machines.So the present generations did not have enough about these things and they also fail to teach to the next generations..As the more and more invention of home purpose machines made every generation their work easier and easier...They started to be lazy little...This factor increases step by step slowly in many generations.The humans didn't felt this thing before it become a great problem like this...Hence one day we found a reason for the obesity is also because of genes...I'm believing this could be the reason for some persons who suffers obesity due to genital reasons..In other hand there some persons still who don't have any genital problems but still suffers a from obesity,It may be due to their soft type of work....But the solution for the two type of cases can be solved by two things...
2. determination in heart that I can be better always....
If these two things are done well then the other factors which doctors say like Hypertension,Smoking,Alcohol drinking,etc ..can throne away by us...and lead a weighless lifeMay 19 2012: Check this out: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez. Why such a rash of proof in 2008,9 and 10 then nothing much. Could the chemical companies and money for studies be linked??May 19 2012: Josh
Open up to what you may not know! Look at this:
Environ Health Perspect. 2012 Mar;120(3):332-9. Epub 2011 Oct 31.
Do interactions between gut ecology and environmental chemicals contribute to obesity and diabetes?
Snedeker SM, Hay AG.
Department of Microbiology and the Institute for Comparative and Environmental Toxicology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA.
Review: Combating the global obesity and diabetes epidemics requires a multifaceted approach that should include greater emphasis on understanding and controlling the impact of interindividual gut microbe variability on the disposition of environmental chemicals in humans.May 19 2012: How can a six month old child be morbidly obese from junk food. Look out side the box.
Might check some pub med articles like: Hormones (Athens). 2010 Jul-Sep;9(3):206-17.
Impact of environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals on the development of obesity. This review summarizes data from experimental animals and humans which support an association of endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as diethylstilbestrol, bisphenol A, phytoestrogens, phthalates, and organotins, with the development of obesity.
Josh S
May 19 2012: If the topic is about why new-borns are sometimes morbidly obese then, quite simply, it's because they eat a lot of 'junky' food. Of course, this is in the form of high-calorie drinks or extra calories in their diet. Very very rarely are hormonal balances the cause of obesity. Instead of trying to move the blame from parents to 'obesity causing viruses' or 'unbalanced immune systems' why cant the parents just take the blame.
- 0
Of course, family history can play a part in obesity, but not nearly as much a culprit as the parents.
If the infant eats the right amount of the right food they will not be obese 99% of the time. People need to stop blaming hormones and other stuff for the problem they caused.
Today's society ALLOWS people to be 400-1000 pounds. It's possible to live at home, working at home, ordering food deliveries at home, using online stores at home. That's probably the biggest reason there are 400-1000 pound people.

BioLogos Basics Video #8: Genetics
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
Series: Evolution and Image Bearers (2 entries)
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?

Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
God as Process Engineer: Creator, Sustainer, Reedemer, and Provider
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 5
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
To Tame the World: What terrifies us about reality pushes us toward its Creator.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
The Father of Intelligent Design
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part One
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.

The LCD display's brightness can be adjusted to one of five levels. The LCD display also features a Night Display feature that when shooting in dark conditions, the camera automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject. Image Sensor/Processor: The camera is equipped with a 1/2.3" CCD image sensor with 16.6-million total pixels, and 16.0-million effective pixels. The A2400 IS uses the DIGIC 4 processor to give you clear photos with accurate colors and less noise. Face Detection Technology: The DIGIC 4 chip's Face Detection Technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash, and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed. Smart AUTO: The A2400 IS features Smart AUTO, a sophisticated technology that automatically detects scenes by assessing various factors in both the subject and background. Based upon the analyzed scene, one of 32 predefined settings is chosen for the photo when it is taken. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human moving subjects, such as animals and vehicles. Optics: The A2400 IS has a 5x optical zoom lens with a 5.0-25.0mm focal length (35mm equivalent is 28-140mm). Zoom: In addition to the 5x optical zoom, the camera features a 4x digital zoom. When used in combination, the total zoom is approximately 20x. Intelligent IS: The A2400 IS features Intelligent Image Stabilization (Intelligent IS) to help compensate for camera shake, resulting in clear, blur-free photos. For still images, Intelligent IS chooses the best shake correction method for the shooting situation (Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid), and Tripod IS modes). For video, the camera chooses from Dynamic, Powered, Macro, and Tripod IS modes. Recording Media: The camera records still images or moving images with stereo audio on SD Memory Cards (2GB or less), SDHC Memory Cards (4GB to 32GB), and SDXC Memory Cards (32GB and higher). Still images are recorded in JPEG format, and the movies are recorded in MOV format (Image data: H.264, Audio data: Linear PCM (2 channel monaural). No memory card is included with the camera, nor is there any internal memory in the camera. Still Image Resolution/Compression: The A2400 IS can record still images in 5 different resolutions: Large (4608 x 3456), Medium 1 (3264 x 2448), Medium 2 (1600 x 1200), Small (640 x 480), and Widescreen (4608 x 2592). Movies: Movies can be shot in High Definition at 1280 x 720 at 30 fps with monaural audio. Standard definition movies can be recorded at 640 x 480 pixels, with a frame rate of 30 frames per second and monaural audio. Recording will automatically stop when either the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches approximately 30 minutes for HD, and 1 hour for SD. SD Speed Class 6 or higher memory cards are recommended. Continuous Shooting Mode: You can use the continuous shooting mode to shoot successive frames while the shutter button is fully pressed. You can shoot continuously at approximately 0.8 image per second in Program Mode. In the Low Light modes, the rate increases to 2.8 shots per second. AutoFocus Frame Modes: The camera utilizes TTL (through-the-lens) automatic focusing with three focusing methods: Face AiAF: The camera automatically detects the position of a face and uses the data to set the focus, exposure (evaluative metering only) and white balance (auto). When the camera is pointed at subjects, a white frame appears on the face the camera judges to be the main subject, and up to 2 gray frames will appear on other faces. Tracking AF: You can choose the subject you want to focus on and shoot. Once the subject is selected, the camera will continue to track the subject within a certain range even when the subject moves. Center: A single AF frame in the center of the frame is used. AF-Point Zoom: You can magnify the AF frame and check the focus. In Face Detect mode, the face selected as the main subject will appear magnified in the monitor. In Center mode, the contents of the center AF frame will appear magnified. Auto Focus Lock: If it becomes difficult to focus on the subject due to low contrast to the surroundings, close up and far away subjects in the same shot, or quickly moving subjects, you can choose to lock the focus or auto focus on an object at a similar distance, then shoot the picture after recomposing the shot. Focusing Range: The camera features the following focus ranges (from the end of the lens): Normal: 1.2" to infinity (W), 3.9' to infinity (T) Macro: 1.2" to 2' (wide) Shooting Modes: You can switch between the following shooting modes: Auto, Program AE, Live View Control, Portrait, Face Self-timer, Low Light, Fisheye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Monochrome, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Snow, Fireworks, Long Shutter, Discreet, and iFrame Movie. Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes: Evaluative Light Metering: used for standard conditions. The area within the frame is divided into several zones and light is measured based on subject position, brightness, direct light and backlighting. Center-Weighted Averaging: averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more weight on the subject at the center Spot: meters the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder. Exposure Compensation: If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments. Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock): You can set the focus and exposure separately to shoot. When the exposure is set, you can lock the setting, then compose the scene and shoot. This is effective when the contrast is too strong between the subject and background, or when a subject is backlit. Flash Exposure Lock (FE Lock), just as with the AE lock, lets you lock the exposure for shooting with the flash. White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto: the camera sets the white balance automatically according to shooting conditions Daylight: for recording outdoors on a bright day Cloudy: for recording under overcast, shady or twilight skies Tungsten: for recording under tungsten and bulb-type 3-wavelength fluorescent lighting Fluorescent: for recording under warm-white, cool-white or warm-white (3-wavelength) fluorescent lighting Fluorescent H: for recording under daylight fluorescent, or daylight fluorescent-type (3-wavelength) fluorescent lighting Custom: allows you to manually set the white balance and store the settings Flash Modes: The PowerShot A2400 IS has a built-in flash with a range of 1.6' to 9.8' in Wide Angle and 3.3' to 6.6' in Telephoto. You can select Auto (flash fires in low light), Slow-synchro, On (flash always fires), or Off (flash doesn't fire). In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp for the flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken. ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually to ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, or 1600. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions. Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred images. The images, however, will appear more coarse. Grid Lines: Grid lines can be displayed on the screen, dividing the monitor into 9 areas, for checking the subject's horizontal and vertical alignment. Self-Timer: The A2400 IS utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and a custom self-timer to allow the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots. Playback, Editing and Print Functions Slide Show: Images stored on a memory card can automatically be displayed one-by-one using the Slide Show function. You can set the playback time for each image, and the transition effects when switching between images. If desired, you can repeat the slide show automatically. Index Display: This feature allows you to view 4, 9, 36, or 100 images at once on the LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played in the index playback mode. You can view the index display by rotating the zoom lever toward wide angle while the camera is in playback mode. Jump Display: To locate images on the memory card, you can jump by a specific number of images or method. You can set the camera to jump to images shot on a specific date, jump 10 or 100 images at a time, jump to first image, or jump to movies only. Playback Displays: You can choose from three types of displays: Simple Information: screen includes basic information about the image Detailed Information: screen includes a histogram display as well as detailed information about the settings used when the image was captured. No Information: screen shows photo only without information display. Red-Eye Correction: You can correct red eyes in already recorded images. However, red eyes may not be automatically detected in some images such as faces near the screen edge, faces that appear extremely small, larger dark or bright in relation to the overall image and faces turned to the side or at a diagonal and faces with a portion hidden which prevents the Red-Eye Correction from working. You can choose to overwrite the file with the corrected image, or store the image as a new file, retaining the original image. Resizing Images: You can save images a lower recording pixel setting than the original image, saving the resized image as a separate file. Trimming: You can cut out a portion of a recorded image and save it as a new image file. Protecting Images: The protect feature allows you to protect important images from accidental erasure. You can protect images by the image itself or select All Images. PictBridge/Direct Print: Using the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer of any brand, or a Canon printer that supports the Direct Print function. You can also connect the camera directly to certain Canon SELPHY compact photo printers and PIXMA inkjet photo printers. In this way, you can make prints directly from the camera without having to connect to a computer. Battery Information Power Requirements: The Canon PowerShot A2400 IS is powered by the NB-11L Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. The camera includes the CB-2LD battery charger. For long periods of continuous use, or when connected to a computer, it is recommended that the camera be connected to the optional ACK-DC90 AC adapter kit. The typical performance of the NB-11L battery is as follows: Number of shots: approx. 190 Movie Recording Time: approx. 50 minutes typical, 1 hr 30 minutes continuous Playback Time: approx. 4 hours Date/Time Battery: The camera has a built-in backup battery for maintaining the date and time data for about three weeks after the battery pack has been removed.

ETSU's Smith, Wadood honored by SoCon media
Monday, March 03, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 4, 2003) - The honors keep coming for East Tennessee State men's basketball players Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) and Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Va.). Smith, who was voted the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year by the league's sports information directors on Sunday, received the same honor from the league's media on Monday. The 5-foot-9 guard is the league's leading freshman scorer, picking up an average of 14.4 points a contest. He currently ranks third in scoring for the Bucs, and is 18th in the nation with 2.5 steals per contest. The last Buccaneer to be named freshman of the year was ETSU great Greg Dennis in 1987-88. Meanwhile, Wadood, who was honored as an All-SoCon selection by the league's coaches, was picked as a second-team player in the media voting. The 6-foot-5 forward is currently second on the team with 14.5 points per game and leads the Bucs with 7.6 rebounds a contest. He is also third in the nation with 3.2 steals a game and leads ETSU with 2.2 blocks per contest. ETSU, which is 17-10 overall, 11-5 in SoCon action, returns to play Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Southern Conference Tournament at the North Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, S.C. At approximately 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, the No. 2-seeded Bucs will face the winner of the Wofford-UNC Greensboro game scheduled for Wednesday. 2003 Southern Conference Media All-SoCon Team Player of the year - Troy Wheless, College of Charleston Freshman of the year - Tim Smith, ETSU Coach of the year - Houston Fancher First team Troy Wheless, College of Charleston Karim Souchu, Furman Julius Jenkins, Georgia Southern Kevin Martin, Western Carolina Shawn Hall, Appalachian State Second team Zakee Wadood, East Tennessee State Ashley Champion, Chattanooga Wayne Bernard, Davidson Radee Skipworth, VMI Mike Lenzly, Wofford Third team Graham Bunn, Appalachian State Thomas Mobley, College of Charleston Guilherme Da Luz, Furman James Maye, UNC Greensboro Lee Nixon, Wofford

All is not lost!
I didn't read all of the other posts so forgive any repetition. I'm a retired family law attorney. The way this was generally handled in my area (California) was to have the tools appraised. At the very worst, you would only have to pay her one-half of the present value at the time of the trial or settlement conference.
That would only apply to tools that were bought with community income during the time of the marriage. It would not apply to tools that were given as gifts to you or which were bought either before the marriage or after the date of separation. Those would be separate property and would not be part of the community property.
Also, here's a very good hint: In my experience, having had numerous sets of tools appraised, tools that have been marked with the owner's initials are typically worth less than 1/3 of a similar tool in unmarked, pristine conditoin. Hint, hint.
As a general rule, the courts will not force the sale of property if it can be evaluated and the person who wishes to keep it can pay one half to the other party to equalize the community property.
Remember, I said the values are taken at the time of the settlement...that is present value. Your 25 year old Sears compressor is no longer worth the $350 that you paid for it in 1983. It's now worth what? $50....$60? You get the idea.
It is true that community property is not to be sold until the case is settled. There is an injunction against the sale while the property is bieing evaluated. Also, the judge won't force you to sell the tools of your trade but you will still have to evaluate them as community property and either pay half of the value or trade for half of the value, at least in a community property state. Hope this helps. No charge.
P.S. I forgive All-About-Design for calling lawyers bloodsuckers. I feel that way about LWS's. I get screwed every time I go near one. Hahahahahahahaha.

The truth is paradoxical.
When they say we work too much,
the truth is something else.
I gave my wife everything she wanted, she took all the money.
I got it all back, we reunited when I quit trying to BS myself.
Its not about tools, money, trucks or "things".
It had to do with not looking for other people to co-sign my BS.
Its the 'things' that people value so much in life that only seperates them from others, until all they've got left is stuff.
They got nothing that I would want.
If you can put a pricetag on something, its worthless.

Think how defferent things might have been if people such as Scott Peterson and Darren Mack would have pursued divorce instead of killing their spouses. Whatever you have to pay an attorney is cheaper, better and less expensive than a death sentece or life in prison without possibility of parole. People need to think carefully before making terrible choices with dire consequences.

Recipe by Fooddude
"An old fashioned 'pot of beans' recipe. It starts with dry pinto beans, onion, and chicken broth. Add green chili salsa, jalapeno and cumin for the spicy kick."

1 pound
dry pinto beans
1 (29 ounce) can
reduced sodium chicken broth
1 large
onion, chopped
fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1/2 cup
green salsa
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
water, if needed
Well, I'm a native Texan and have been making pinto beans for years and years and years and thought I would try something new. Well, my grandma's recipe (which uses tomatoes, bacon, etc.) may have to go on the back burner for awhile because these were fantastic and loved by the entire crowd. I cooked them for several hours until they were nice and tender and followed the recipe exactly using the green salsa. This one is definitely a keeper.
I had to add salt at the end of cooking to enhance flavors. I also added more cumin and jalapenos than the recipe called for. Would also be good with some canned adobo peppers. I would say a good starting recipe but needs modifications. I made in the slow cooker on low 8 hours after soaking overnight.

I have made this recipe atleast a dozen times and it comes out awesome every time. My little tweeks: I use canned diced jalapenos to taste and I stick it in the crockpot on low all day. Also, I always soak the beans the night before. Great beans!
Awesome Recipe. I did change a few things just because that is all I had on hand and they still came out with a really good flavor. I substituted onion for an envelope of onion soup mix and jalapeno for a can of green chilies and used pace picante sauce instead of the green salsa. I also added ketchup to the beans just because that is what my mother in law always does. The beans did take longer than two hours to cook though. I will next time follow the suggestion of another reviewer and soak the beans over night. Thanks for such a great recipe!
We cooked this in a pot for about 8 hours. It was excellent. We cooked the beans at a cook-off and won first place. I strongly recommed this!!
This recipe is awesome! I didn't have canned chicken broth, so I just reconstitued dry bullion cubes. I also substitued Pace picante sauce for the green salsa. It turned out great. Increasing the garlic doesn't hurt, either.
Delish! I used Red salsa as well. Lil' more garlic & wal laaa.... Mix & throw all in crock pot. So easy & very tasty!
Very easy and yummy. I mixed everything the night before and let it soak overnight. Served it over brown rice. It was a super easy, low-fat dinner for my family. I left out the jalapenos and used red salsa instead of green. I also added more garlic, pepper, salt and cumin to taste after about an hour of cooking.

After nearly two weeks of trying to reassure the public that Burger King's products were safe, the fast food giant just announced that an internal investigation confirmed that burgers containing horse meat have been sold in its United Kingdom locations!
Rumors of the contamination were first triggered by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland after it found horse meat in the frozen beef burgers of several major grocery suppliers in Ireland and the UK. The contaminated meat is from the Ireland-based processing company Silvercrest, which is a subsidiary of ABP Food Group.
"These recent revelations of horse meat in European hamburgers are proof that the predatory horse slaughter industry isn't worried about who it victimizes—horses and diners are all at risk," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "In addition to the inherent cruelty of horse slaughter, the toxicity of horse meat is a big problem. We've become increasingly aware of all the drugs routinely given to horses that are dangerous to humans and banned for use in animals raised for human consumption."
Take Action!
This incident happened across the ocean, but horses are at risk of terrifying, inhumane deaths at slaughterhouses right here at home: Horse slaughter proponents are taking drastic steps to re-open horse slaughter plants in the United States! Please urge U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to reject any application to operate a horse slaughter facility in the U.S.
Thank you for taking action!

Jaime earns A-Sun Player of the Week honor
Wednesday, April 06, 2011
MACON, Ga. (April 6, 2011) -Following a perfect week at both singles and doubles and helping the Bucs clinch the regular season A-Sun title, junior Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) has been named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday.
Jaime went a perfect 2-0 in singles play, while also teaming with Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) to go 2-0 in doubles play.
To open the week, Jaime and Kedzo defeated Vera Shkundina and Ayano Tanaka of Kennesaw State. Then, Jaime earned a straight set victory over Alexandra Apostu, 6-1, 6-2, helping the Bucs defeat KSU, 5-2.
On Saturday, Jaime and Kedzo defeated Jennifer Lada and Aurelie de Montjou of Mercer, 8-4. Later, Jaime rolled past Amalia Bugge in singles play, 6-4, 6-0, helping the Bucs defeat the Bears, 6-1, and clinching the A-Sun title.
For the spring season, Jaime and Kedzo own a team-best 12-5 overall doubles record and a 9-1 mark in A-Sun play. The duo has won nine straight matches overall. Jaime is 17-13 overall in singles play this season, while owning a 6-4 A-Sun mark.
This was Jaime's first A-Sun player of the week honor of the season, but it was the second player of the week honor in her career. She earned the A-Sun player of the week award during her freshman season on March 25, 2009.
Jaime is the second ETSU player to earn A-Sun player of the week this season as teammate Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) won the award on February 2 after opening the season with solid play.

We are able however to offer one day's social skiing in Sonnenkopf (for a small transport fee, subject to demand and weather conditions).Chalet Rosmarie is located on a private road in the picturesque hamlet of Nasserein just 250m (approx.) from the gondola. If you still have the energy after skiing, there are some quiet bars in Nasserein; alternatively, 800 metres (approx.) away is the legendary nightlife of St Anton.

Frustrating. I love your ideas and materials. However, it seems like you have lost interest in your Classroom 360 series after hyping it and getting us so excited. Posts get later everyday. No posts 7/3/12. I was looking forward to all of your great ideas to help plan my classroom but I think that I will be teaching my students before you finish the series. It looks like you have about 30 more things to share. Sorry, but I need my classroom plans ready to go before then. Maybe you could go a little faster at least finishing one wall per week. Again, I love your ideas and will tune in to your new posts as they come, just voicing my opinion.ReplyDelete
I love the FLASH freebies! What a fun idea! I did miss the blackline design numbers and was totally bummed. At the time I didn't know they were flash freebies. They will go great with my pirate theme class, so I guess I will be purchasing them. I'm loving your stuff and can't wait to see if you come out with a pirate bundle like your other theme bundles. They look AMAZING!!ReplyDelete
I am loving getting the different FLASH freebies! I have a quick questions- Should I sign up to be alerted from your store? I get the email but today I got it at 6:30 pm and missed the Post-it freebie. Thoughts?ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great freebies. I will use them this school year.ReplyDelete
I have been trying to buy your products on teacherspayteachers for several hours and keep getting kicked out. Now I finally have them in my basket and am trying to buy them but I can't find the discount code that I swear was on here a couple hours ago. Ack.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for all the great freebies! Your website has probably been the most frequently visited site from my computer since I dissevered it! Your site is an inspiration and your hard work is extremely inspiring. Thanks for everything :)ReplyDelete
Love the Hot to Dot. Thanks for all your freebies!ReplyDelete
I have loved ALL the freebies! I love the dots, I am using them this year!!! I might have gone a little dot crazy but that is ok, right? :)ReplyDelete
I love the black and white dots...thanks.ReplyDelete

If you care to use the 'search' feature here, you'll undoubtedly end up with more ideas than you can incorporate into ten welding/fab. tables. Also, try checking out the 'Go to Welding Projects' section on the right of the screen for short write-ups and pictures of similar projects. As far as specific plans with measurements and such included, you may have a bit more difficult time of it. Still, reference a photo with some other features or tooling on it that can be scaled to approximate the table dimensions and you should have a near match...or just go with your own set of dimensions mandated by your height or other physical or job specific needs.Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.

Can the Government Make Entrepreneurs Do Useless Things For No Reason?
Verlin Stoll is a 27-year-old entrepreneurial dynamo who owns Crescent Tide funeral home in Saint Paul, Minn. Verlin has built a successful business because he offers low-cost funerals while providing high-quality service. His business is also one of the only funeral homes that benefits low-income families who cannot afford the high prices of the big funeral-home companies. Verlin wants to expand his business, hire new employees and continue to offer the lowest prices in the Twin Cities, but Minnesota refuses to let Verlin build a second funeral home unless he builds a $30,000 embalming room that he will never use. Minnesota's law is irrational. Embalming is never required just because someone passes away and the state does not even require funeral homes to do their own embalming. In fact, it is perfectly legal to outsource embalming to a third-party embalmer. Minnesota's largest funeral chain has 17 locations with 17 embalming rooms, but actually uses only one of those rooms. Why is Minnesota forcing Verlin to waste $30,000 on a useless embalming room as a condition of expanding his thriving business? So that the big, full-amenity funeral-home businesses can benefit from a law that drives up prices for consumers and operating expenses for competitors such as Verlin.Read more
