Making strawberry jam is easy with chia seeds instead of pectin plus no refined sugar for a healthy strawberry jam anyone can make.
Pin Strawberry Jam with Chia Seeds here.
Formerly, I was scared to death about the thought of making my own jam, although I was also longing to do it. The thought of using pectin and then canning the jam just seemed too much for me. Then I saw recipes for strawberry jam made with chia seeds. Instantly my fear of pectin was wiped away. I did not have to use it. Second my love of mason jars was helping to alleviate my fear of canning. Additionally, there are so many Youtube videos that will walk you through the process.
As soon as I actually tried to make my own strawberry jam with chia seeds, I realized how ridiculous my fears where. I quickly realized how easy the jam is to make. Really, anyone can make strawberry jam using chia seeds. In fact, I would almost say it is foolproof. The best part was that I controlled the sugar content. Actually I used agave instead of sugar, no refined sugar in this recipe. You will find this is not a sweet jam. If you would like more sweetness, add another tablespoon of agave.
This recipe makes enough for one jar of jam so there is no need to can it at all. However, feel free to double and triple the recipe. Then you can can it to enjoy throughout the year. Check out Youtube for videos that walk you through the process of preserving the jam by canning it. Otherwise, enjoy this delicious homemade strawberry jam on toast or use it in my next delicious recipe for Strawberry Cheesecake Pie. I am sure you are going to love it.
To be sure to see Food Done Light's next recipe, Strawberry Cheesecake Pie, subscribe by email below now. You won't want to miss another recipe again.
Strawberry Jam with Chia Seeds
- 1 pt strawberries hulled and sliced

Place strawberries and agave in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Cook until strawberries are soft, about 10 minutes.
Mash strawberries then cook for another 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat.
Stir in chia seeds and let sit for 5 minutes.

Refrigerate overnight.

SR 22 insurance and filing
FR44 can help you with auto insurance that requires a SR22 filing in Florida, Jacksonville, Orlando.
You may well think that because it is referred to as SR22 Insurance, that it some type of insurance policy. In fact, an SR-22 is a CFR (Certificate of Financial Responsibility). It is a document provided by your insurance company that verifies you have auto insurance. You only need SR-22 insurance if a judge says you do. That will only happen if you have been a bad driver or you have convicted of certain driving offenses.
These offenses usually include one or more of the following
- DUI convictions
- Reckless driving
- Accidents caused by uninsured drivers
You cannot get an SR 22 filing without auto insurance. If you don't have insurance you will need to get a quote and then you will need to buy the insurance before the carrier will process the filing. However, most insurance companies are not keen on offering SR 22 insurance. If they tell you to look elsewhere, SR44 can help.
If you are ordered to obtain a SR22 filing and your insurance company is not cooperative, then an independent agent such as FR44 can help. They can get you competitive rates and process your filing so you can legally drive again.
They help drivers who:
- Have numerous traffic violations
- have never had auto insurance
- have DWI or DUI convictions
- have suspended licenses
- have caused at fault accidents
- have driven without license
- have driven without insurance
- need SR22 filing
So when you need cheap DUI insurance or cheap SR22 insurance, speak to the experts at SR44. If they can't help, no one can.
It is also good to know that SR 22 insurance is not forever. Generally, it can be around 3 years before you can ask for the filing to be removed.

Charging issue?
I have a 2017 Polaris Sportsman 570 EFI. Yesterday, I start the machine and it says low power (10.6-10.8). This machine is on its second battery. This is a new AGM battery with 50cca more than stock.
Should I look at the regulator or stator?
By JacobSlabach
Got a 04 Sportsman 500 that wasnt running- owner said it needed a stater and a new battery. It ran rough (been sitting out in the weather for a while). A friend and I started by adding a new battery and it would start barely with the choke and his hand over the air-filter. I decided to install the new battery in the holder on the side. we had it on the rack because the old on was still in the bike. I tried to be nifty by turning the battery to put the terminals in an easier spot to get to, but forgot to reverse the cables too. In a sentence, I reversed the positive and negative on the battery like a dummy. When we discovered my mistake and corrected it, we turned on the bike, but the display did not light up and the key did not turn on the starter. jumping the solenoid worked the starter, so we thought the solenoid just burned up when I reversed the pos and neg... new solenoid and no difference. what have I burned up? Also, the shifter does not seem to do anything in the trans. it slides back and forth like its stripped in the trans. any help would be appreciated!!
I think the biggest issue right now is the electrical.

Comcast Spends Billion with Motorola
In a push to draw more suppliers of cable set-tops, cable operator Comcast cut a deal with Motorola to unleash a critical element, the encryption system allowing operators to protect their signal.
The deal was the less-flashy part of a "broader strategic relationship" between Comcast and Motorola.
The big headline was Comcast' commitment to buy more than $1 billion in new set-tops from the electronics company, which is the Comcast's largest set-top supplier.
But the deal also gives Comcast a nonexclusive license to its MediaCipher conditional-access technology, the software that ensures subscribers can't watch HBO or pay-per-view movies unless they're paying for them.
A Comcast-controlled venture with Motorola is expected to relicense the technology for little or no cost to other electronics manufacturers.
Comcast's Senior Vice President of Digital Cable Mark Hess wouldn't detail the fee plan but acknowledged that "part of the answer there is to make it easy to license."
While Hess talks about his company's "very positive relationship" with Motorola, Comcast and other operators have long groused that they're beholden to what is largely a duopoly of Motorola and Scientific-Atlanta.
They believe that not only keeps their costs high, but impedes their ability to get new products to market. While DBS companies were rolling out digital video recorders aggressively, Comcast had to wait 18 months for Motorola to get a working model to market.
Because so many of its systems employ Motorola's encryption system, Comcast had nowhere else to turn for product.

It's been mentioned before this is a *hardware* issue. Having the watch replaced will not help as the fault has not been resolved even on new watches.
Your best option is to return the watch and get a full refund.
If you need a *fitness tracker* with reliable functions, get a Fitbit Versa. I did and have never looked back. Sorry Samsung, but your Smart Watches are useless as fitness devices!
I have to re-register every time I come back to this site, despite using the correct log in details!!!
I posted the comment by gb10. Watch worked perfectly for 5 months when it stop tracking HR and switching on display with the gesture, while playing golf. Not the first time I played with it on. I sat quitely on the caddy and repeated the tapping procedure until the display switched on with the gesture, that was 2 weeks ago, and still going strong, again.
YES, it's a hardware issue. FIX it yourself and get on with your life!

Vocal quartet audition time slots are 8 minutes in length with the sight-singing aspect of the audition conducted in a separate room by a separate adjudicator. The sight-singing will not be scheduled, but will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. An opportunity to sight-sing will be made available for every vocalist who performed in a vocal quartet audition up until the end of the audition day.
Schools will receive enough quartet audition time slots to match the quartet voice with the largest number of applying students (i.e.: 15 sopranos equals 15 quartet audition time slots).Should a student neglect to complete the sight-singing portion of their audition after performing the vocal quartet and solo portion, their audition will be disqualified.
Students who audition under the Vocal Audition format are applying for acceptance to the Festival Chorus. A separate audition is required to be considered for acceptance into other groups.
Students will be auditioned by a quartet of adjudicators, one for each voice part. Each adjudicator will evaluate a separate voice part.
The sight-singing aspect of the audition will be heard in a separate room by a separate adjudicator on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be a vocal sight-singing room assigned to each voice part, although some voice parts may share a sight-singing room while other voice parts may have two sight-singing rooms assigned to it.A student may sing in several quartets but only if required to do so by a limited number of students on their voice part available from their school. They will only be rated on their first appearance before an adjudicator.
Students who sing in several quartets (as noted above) will only perform the sight-singing once.
All quartets from the same school will be judged by the same quartet of adjudicators unless scheduling prohibits it. Changes in the membership of each adjudicator quartet will only be made by the Vocal Adjudicator Coordinator with the approval of the Festival Director.Although it is discouraged, women may audition as tenors.Students may audition on only one voice part.Students who audition on more than one part will not be considered for the Festival regardless of how high either of their auditions were rated.
If a school has an incomplete quartet, they will have the option to do one of the following:
• have the appropriate adjudicator(s) sing the missing part(s).
• have another student from their school or another school sing the missing part(s).
This student(s) must have already auditioned or is/are not being considered for the Festival. The student(s) that help fill out quartets will not be rated while auditioning in that capacity. A school music teacher or any other adult may not sing in an auditioning quartet.
To complete their audition, students must:
The vocal audition piece may be sung in the original key, or up or down a half or a whole step (i.e.: the piece may be sung in F, F# (Gb), G, G# (Ab) or A when G is the written key.)

I bought hanging baskets, which were beautiful for a month. I watered them diligently, lightly fertilized, and they are in a sunny morning - bright shade location. They look terrible, still some blooms but lots of dead areas underneath. Should I cut them back dramatically?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Lobelias can benefit from a trimming to help them grow better. Cut the plant back by about a half to encourage new growth.
They may also be in just a slightly too shady spot. If you can get them to a brighter spot, this may help.
You may also want to water more often. In a container in summer, plants need to be watered at least once a day, twice a day if temps are over 85F.
Thanks so much, Heather.....I'll try your suggestions.

THOUGHTS ON TORTURE: Kevin Drum summarizes this Washington Post article on CIA interrogation techniques with a blunt revulsion: "In other words, we torture them up to a point, and if that doesn't work we turn them over to someone else who's willing to go further." Kevin's reaction is in many ways brilliant:
This is sickening. Alan Dershowitz, who has gotten a bunch of press lately for his suggestion that torture is sometimes permissible, uses as his basic example the "ticking bomb" scenario: if a bomb is about to go off and someone knows where it is, it's OK to torture the person in order to extract the information.Fantastic stuff.
My one objection to this response is to Kevin's belief that turning off our higher intellect and letting our "basic sense of right and wrong" guide us will lead us to reject torture. I suspect that for Dershowitz, and for many Americans, one's basic sense of right and wrong involves a deeply rooted love of country that would justify using any means to defend it if it were faced with a possibly "existential" threat (in Dershowitz's case, you might find love of countries, as his book suggests that his support of torture is rooted in his support of the practices of Israel's armed forces). The answers emanating from the cockles of Dershowitz's heart to Kevin's questions about whether torture is OK wouldn't be very different from the on-the-spot reactions of the average American guy or gal who thinks that secret detentions are fine, becuase, hey, we're in a war. Those @$^@%^s are evil; why should I shed a tear over them?
And as amusing as Kevin's "would-you-perform-the-torture-yourself" test is, I suspect that Kevin might unfortunately find himself labelling a lot more people barbarians than he might expect if he actually tried it.
This is not to say that I think Kevin's tack is wrong. Appealing to people's moral sympathies can be very effective and is often the way to go. But moral sympathies can cut both ways and right now, they may more often cut against the direction Kevin desires. Of course, rational argumentation can cut both ways as well, as Dershowitz's quote shows, but why give up any weapon in the arsenal when trying to advance the cause of morality?
In this case, Dershowitz's rational arguments are actually pretty weak. His perspective relies heavily on utilitarianism, a theory that is steadily losing plausibility due to our increasing adherence to the idea that all individuals have certain rights and dignities that can never be overridden. As the recently departed John Rawls memorably wrote, the utilitarian perspective just "does not take seriously the difference between persons." The spread of the idea of inalienable human rights--one of which, I'm convinced, involves the right not to be subject to torture, whatever information one might be suspected of having--is actually occuring at both an emotional and an intellectual level. As this idea gains ground in the world of philosophy and diplomacy, everyday people also become more and more accustomed to the words and sentiments that are attached to it. Like the ideas of gender equality and religious tolerance, it will take both appeals to the head and to the heart for this idea to win out.

IF THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL and there isn't any other place to go, you might as well check out skippy's collection of blogger-approved Christmas carols. Incorrectly capitalized, of course.
ANGLOSPHERIC REDUCTIONISM: When I clicked on the link in Manu's "difference between Canadians and Americans" post, I was a little taken aback by the following explanation of federalism in former British colonies written by Volokh conspirator Stuart Banner:
Why does the United States have a federal structure? Not because federalism is conducive to good government, not because the Framers thought it would be wise to have a country made up of sovereign states, and not because of racism. We have federalism today because in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, when the English government began establishing colonies in North America, England set up a bunch of separate colonies rather than one big colony. Distances were so great and technology so simple circa 1600 that North America would have been very hard to govern as a single colony. By the time of independence it was too late to change. Canada and Australia have a federal structure today for the same reason. [emphasis added]Aie. I have to admit that I don't know that much regarding Australian history, but Banner might have left something out regarding my dear old C. When the Dominion of Canada was confederated, there were only four colonial units; one of them was, however, a land filled with French Catholics known as Quebec. Those French folks = kind of important to the explanation as to why Canada retained its federal structure when it brought on the other six provinces and when it repatriated its Constitution.
Some truth to this, perhaps? According to Eugene Volokh,
"Canadians are generally indistinguishable from Americans. The surest way of telling the two apart is to say that to a Canadian."
Update: This might be what he's talking about. Yes, I know that the American-players-stomping-on-our-flag story was a myth, but the fact that many found it believable does say something -- either about American sportsmanship or Canadian insecurities.
With regards to Frist v. Barry: It was pointed out in the comments to this post that Marion Barry used crack, but did not deal it. That is indeed true, and I stand corrected.
At the same time, Saletan notes that Frist invoked the spectre of numerous "corrupt Democrats" during his 1994 Senate campaign:
"In July 1994, three months before he brought up Barry, Frist aired a TV ad that depicted [election opponent] Sasser's face on Mount Rushmore alongside the faces of Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Dan Rostenkowski. The ad called them "tax and spend career politicians." Rostenkowski was under indictment and was eventually jailed for misappropriating government funds."
Bubba, Teeder and Rosty are all as white as white can be. Is Frist a crass opportunist? Yes. But a racist? No.
The enclosed contents were sent to our department. They were placed in a mail box by an unknown person. We are not familiar with the events that brought these contents to us. We are returning them to you.And so ended the travels of my lost wallet. Sans the not trivial amount of cash (both Canadian and American) that was with it when I lost it, of course, of course. And my Metrocard (NYC transit electronic fare) with $7.50 remaining on it. But I suppose that my receipts and photocopy card and student travel cards (one of which I cancelled) and cancelled bank cards and cancelled driver's license, and the wallet itself (which I got for free along with my residence keys as an undergrad) are worth something. Although probably not as much as the really annoying week I spent replacing all of that stuff.

More on the thimerosal story. Mark Kleiman reprints an email he received from a friend, who defends thimerosal's inclusion in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
On the other hand, WampumBlog cites two abstracts from the recent International Meeting for Autism Research, which suggest a link between thimerosal and autism. The first abstract looks at the broader question of mercury exposure and the predisposition towards autism. As I've said before, my science background -- such that it is -- is not in chemistry (organic or otherwise), but without seeing the poster or presentation, its hard to say whether their findings on mercury exposure would apply to organometallic compounds such as thimerosal.
The second abstract describes the development of neural and behavioural abnormalities in mice treated with thimerosal; it is claimed that these changes mimic those seen in childhood autism. Again, it is difficult to assess the merits of this research based solely on the abstract; comparing animal pathological findings with human disease is always perilous, and this is even more the case when it comes to diseases (such as autism), which have complex behavioural and emotional characteristics. One unsurprising finding, that is nevertheless worthy of mention: the induction of autism-like changes by thimerosal was highly dependent on the strain of mouse used, thus highlighting the critical role of genetic predisposition in the development of human disease.
However, while the scientific link between thimerosal and autism may be debatable, and while one might argue that thimerosal's inclusion in the VICP is a laudable public policy goal, one should also not lose sight of the central point of the Lillygate controversy: that the manner in which the thimerosal rider was tacked on to the Homeland Security Bill was execrable. Especially given the iron-clad links that exist between the GOP and Big Pharma (Lilly in particular).

Michael Kazin on the patriotic American left.
Plenty of people think that Dr. Frist has at least a clavicle, femur and ileum (if not a whole skeleton) rattling around in his closest -- I'm one of them (see below). But one of the criticisms being levelled at him is that he is a racist, or at the least a panderer to racists. From Josh Marshall:
"[Jim Sasser is] sending Tennessee money to Washington, to Marion Barry ... While I've been transplanting lungs and hearts to heal Tennesseans, Jim Sasser has been transplanting Tennesseans' wallets to Washington, home of Marion Barry." ... Bill Frist, 1994 campaign stump speech. Marion Barry was one of the worst things that ever happened to Washington, DC. No doubt about it. What he had to do with a Senate race in Tennessee isn't so clear.
The implication being, of course, that Frist is positioning himself contra Marion Berry, who is a corrupt, black, politician. Marshall does later concede that he tussled over whether he should have posted this.
Now, "spot-the-racist" has been a popular game lately (though I prefer the "pin the burning cross on the bigot" variation). I won't deny that there is a certain amount of schadenfreude at work here -- after all, the right has been throwing around accusations of anti-Semitism quite freely since 9/11, and I suspect that many lefties are more than happy to hit back. Any stick to beat a dog, or something.
However, in the same way that liberal application of the "Nazi" moniker only trivializes and dilutes its original meaning, overuse of the terms "racist" or "racism" only makes it harder to spot the real thing. On the human level: for most (decent) people, being labeled a "racist" or a "bigot" will rank as one of the worst possible insults. Let's not shy from using these terms when they are deserved, but let's use them only when they are deserved. In the case of public officials, I think that an extra amount of caution should be exercised, and that even the benefit of the doubt should be given is possible; after all, our source of evidence on political "racism" comes from the media, and God only knows if the quotes we read, or soundbites we hear, have been taken out of context.
In the case of Trent Lott: his words in support of Strom Thurmond were not a heat-of-the-moment one-off. He had used the sames words before, and his prior associations and voting record would safely lead one to believe that he meant what he said. In the case of David Ahenakew, his words were so explicit and so appalling that it would stretch credulity to say that they were taken out of context.
As for applying this principle to Frist: there is more charitable view one can take of his comments regarding Berry, and I am inclined to take it. It is no secret that many Americans (and Southerners in particular) hold Washington, D.C. in contempt -- especially when it comes to sending their "hard-earned tax dollars" there. I would say that Frist was trying to conflate D.C. politics with the city's right honourable crack-dealing mayor. Of course, the argument is illogical and crude -- Washington city politics have absolutely nothing to do with federal tax collection. But there is nothing to suggest that it's a racist argument. It's not as if Frist could have used a white former crack-dealing D.C. mayor as an example -- and chose not to.
I second Eric -- the best of the season to all of you, regardless of your faith (or lack thereof).
Got back home to Hamilton just before midnight -- and woke up to a ton of the white stuff. And, yes, this has been maybe the second snowfall of the year. Great White North, indeed.
Anyway, the article is from last Thursday...but it's a Globe and Mail opinion piece on why the Gujarat riots could spell chaos for India's 50(+)-year experiment in (relatively) peaceful democracy. In a part of the world that could use a few more success stories, India has been a rare one (from a political/legislative standpoint) -- co-existence of at least four faiths and countless ethnic groups, and remarkably little military intrusion into the affairs of state. Of course, India's conduct in Kashmir has been controversial at its best (and appalling at its worst); but in India proper, Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus have mostly been able to maintain a sort of peace for the better part of half a century.
Of course, this picture of peace has been marred on several occasions -- most notably by the anti-Sikh pogrom that followed Indira Gandhi's assassination. Further, the rise of the Hindu nationalist BJP over the last ten years has threatened India's model of secular accomodation. Then came the appalling events of 2003. In one of the most shamefully under-reported stories of the year, nearly 1000 Muslims were massacred by Hindu rioters in Gujarat state. The Hindu rioters were tacitly supported by the Gujarati chief minister, the BJP's Narendra Modi. The massacre was ostensibly a spontaneous response to the Muslim targeting of a train carrying Hindu pilgrims. However, Bhatia writes that
"...there has been sufficient evidence to show that the avengers went about their task with clinical precision, targeting Muslim homes and shops in a manner that would have required much advance planning."
Then, just this month, Gujarati voters rewarded Modi and his BJP with a sweeping victory in state assembly elections. Modi seems to have run a divisive, Hindu-nationalist campaign -- at campaign stops, he would make frequent mention of the initial train attack, while ignoring the carnage that followed.
The Hindustan Times seems to think that re-election of the BJP was a mistake. Interestingly, the Indian prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee (also of the BJP) has said that by not sufficiently apologizing for the train massacre, the Muslim community brought the later events upon itself. Hmmm...to these (nominally Hindu) ears, that sounds like a slightly more crude representation of the American right's "deafening silence" line.
One other thing...my sense was that the brothers Johnson of Little Green Footballs had a strong commitment to exposing worldwide human rights atrocities (given their extensive preoccupation with Palestinian suicide bombers and the Nigeria "Miss World" violence"). But when I just searched their site for "Gujarat", there was precious little mention of the slaughter of 1000 souls.
But wait, there was a post regarding an attack in Gujarat: by Islamic terrorists on a Hindu temple in September (that killed 23 people). So perhaps ignoring a story about the violent deaths of a thousand people was a mere oversight by the Johnsons. Or perhaps not...
MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone who does that sort of thing!
In Toronto, we got a heck of a white Christmas--by the looks of it, at least 15-20 cm worth! This isn't at all a given, contrary to popular belief outside of this country. Anyway, the world is blanketed with snow, mom and dad have a turkey going, and I'm in the mood to exchange gifts.
I'll also be going to Quebec City with the family starting tomorrow, so I'll probably post again just before New Year's day. Best wishes to everyone until then.

ON THE USE AND ABUSE OF FANTASY: I thought I'd add a little bit of contrarianism to warm this Christmas Eve. I just saw The Two Towers and I suppose that I'm relieved that it didn't disappoint me as mightily as The Fellowship of the Ring, which just possibly might be The Most Overrated Film of All Time. But then again, TT is a much easy book to cinematize, since it's much less of a travelogue than FOTR. OK, OK, let the squeals of howling dissent abate a bit so I can explain myself--I'm a moderate Tolkien fan--enough to have read big chunks of the books multiple times, but not so much of a nut as to be sent into paroxisms by incorrectly enunciated Sindarin. My big problem was simply that the first movie (and to a good extent the second) simply wasn't a good movie, although both brought many of the books' scenes to life in a breathtaking way. My biggest problem is that Peter Jackson seems to have little sense of pacing and little awareness of how to create suspense.
For more on my opinion of TT see my little rant-review on be-all|end-all; for the professional review that best captures my feelings about FOTR, click here.
So if you're still with me after my pop heresy, I want to complain about a little comment that Instapundit slipped in with his Two Towers review:
And yeah, Viggo Mortensen's occasional off-camera antiwar blather notwithstanding, the inevitability of war, and the importance of having the will to resist evil despite the burdens and the horror is a repeated theme, twined in and around the despair and temptation points I mention above. Indeed, one speech in which Aragorn explains to Theoden that this isn't just the usual raiding, but an effort to stamp out his civilization, seems especially on point.It's hard to describe anything that generates a more visceral irritation than this kind of tendentious politicized interpretation of a text that I know and love. Since the LOTR trilogy was basically my first exposure to fantasy, this stirred up a revulsion within me that I imagine is somewhat akin to what a lot of music lovers felt when they heard that Kenny G had performed the unhallowed blasphemy of recording a synthesized duet with a reanimated Louis Armstrong.
I've previously noted (with respect to Buffy) the fallacious disanalogies that frequently ensnare people when they attempt to marshal fantasy plots to make real-world political points.
Let me say it again: fantasy milieu have specific characteristics that make them fantastic. One such particularly important characteristic that often reoccurs is a very clear divide between Good and Evil, whereas morality in the real world is usually Very Difficult and Complicated, at least regarding the Issues that Matter. It is exactly this divide that makes the genre wonderful and diverting.
A ready example: Sauron and the orcs are a very different kind of evil than Muslim fanatics. For one thing, orcs, like Buffy's vampires, are irredeemable creatures without human souls. They are a different, inhuman species. If we were fighting orcs, we wouldn't need to consider the things that any moral human would have to consider if faced with the decision of whether to authorize actions like the bombing of Dresden or Hiroshima. Viewing Aragorn's urging of Theoden to go to war as "on point" with regard to our current situation vis-a-vis Iraq is about as nonsensical as viewing the interactions between elves, hobbits, and humans as carrying an applicable message about race relations in the U.S. I mean, I'd acknowledge that one race was superior to the others if it possessed a 1,000-year lifespan and had leaders who wielded the power of the Silmarils.
If, regardless of the disanalogies, we do decide to pursue the risky business of attempting to draw themes from fantasy worlds that can be applicable to ours, I should note that such hermeneutics can cut many ways. It's just as easy to draw heavily anti-war themes from Tolkien as it is to draw the hawkish themes that Instapundit wants to see: war is only tolerable if it is absolutely and truly inevitable (i.e. when it is carried by the soulless forces of ultimate, unwordly evil); evil is characterized by imperialistic, expansionist aims and the desire for (or current possession of) overwhelming force. Evil also always strikes first. The most dovish symbol of all is perhpas the central trope of the One Ring, a good example of WMD if there ever was one: it can only be handled safely (and even then only temporarily) by an intensely pacifistic, agrarian, inward-regarding, and unambitious people who have no aspirations whatever for shaping the world in their image or for spreading their culture. The only safe way of dealing with the Ring is not to insure that it is in the hands of trustworthy people with good intentions, but rather to destroy it utterly, for its power inevitably corrupts even the purest of heart.
Tolkien, by the way, always expressly insisted that the story of LOTR was completely unrelated to the events and politics of the Second World War that raged around him as he wrote.
UPDATE: Patrick Nielsen Hayden comments on this post via The Sideshow. My imperfect reponse:
When I wrote that a frequent characteristic of fantasy is that it features "a very clear divide between Good and Evil, whereas morality in the real world is usually Very Difficult and Complicated, at least regarding the Issues that Matter," I didn't intend to say that "what's best about fantasy is that it's simplistic, and it should stay that way" or to deny that the genre at its best avoids or is devoid of moral struggle, dilemma, or complexity (although I can see how one might draw this reading from what I wrote without some further explanation). I very much agree with Patrick that stories "have moral weight and resonance to the extent that they manage to connect to our own lives." I think I said as much in the post I had linked to regarding Buffy.
Can I get away, though, with saying that part of fantasy's "comparative advantage" (to use an ugly economic term) is its ability to depict moral struggles in high relief by drawing on the mythic and archetypal? That the moral dilemmas in fantasy tend to be simpler, although not simpleminded? And that part of the reason for this is due to certain features of the worlds (which are meant to be obviously different from ours) in which they are set?
As David Bratman points out (in a separate email), we as readers know that there is only one wise course of action with regard to the One Ring. We also know without any shade of doubt that Sauron is Evil. In these respects, the texts make us privy to a form of moral knowledge that only fundamentalists in our world typically claim to possess. Part of this is the perspective that the text affords us as readers; characters that don't know this may have to wrestle with the issues, but we will see this struggle in a different light. Not all fantasy texts do this, of course, and not all texts that do this do it all of the time, although it seems to me that this was a big part of Tolkien's project.
For this reason (among others), the struggles of Galadriel and Boromir on how to deal with the One Ring are very different, for example, than those of the protagonists of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The former conflicts seem to cut in fewer dimensions because we of what we know about the nature of Good and Evil; this doesn't mean that the fantasy conflicts are necessary less compelling than those in the real world situation (or that they cannot in some respects be usefully compared).
Both the epic and the fine-grained have their place in literature and human experience. But I do want to say that fantasy stories, in Tolkien's mould, tend to lean toward the epic and the mythic, and that if we are to interpret them, we should be alive to key distinguishing features of the mythic project. My overall point was not that we should stop drawing moral analogies from fantasy--I agree completely with Patrick that we shouldn't stop doing this, but that we should do it better. The idea of my original post was to point out one disanalogy to which we should be alert if we are indeed to do this better.
Patrick says that "Glenn Reynolds reads the "King of the Golden Hall" chapter of THE TWO TOWERS as a reminder that sometimes it's necessary to stand and fight. Well, sometimes it is." But my objection wasn't that Glenn drew that message; it was rather over his attempt to use Tolkien to infer that we are living in one of those "sometimes," when there are very relevant differences between our situation and Theoden's.
ASIDE: Regarding orcs, they may have twisted souls, instead of no souls at all, but I still have to wonder why, if they are redeemable in any non-trivial sense (e.g.: amenable to redemption by the actions of any of the protagonists of LOTR), why so little moral concern is ever spent on them. Tolkien's evident Catholic upbringing doesn't exactly make things look good for the orcs being redeemed. Melkor's rebellion looks suspiciously like lucifer's rebellion and fall, and so far as I know, Revelations doesn't hold out any hope for the redemption of fallen angels.
UPDATE #2: Avedon Carol now has recorded a fair amount of this little debate in her charmingly titled 21st Century Tolkien Studies annex. I also get some warmly appreciated support from UFO Breakfast Recipients. On sort of an aside, I additionally took some surprisingly heartfelt flak from a different Sideshow reader for my original post's passing shot at Kenny G. I have to ask: what kind of world do we live in when a guy can't enjoy his inalienable right to mercilessly tear into Kenny G without being verbally bludgeoned by a total stranger? Dark days, indeed...
UPDATE #3: Got some very thoughtful and reasonable replies from Patrick Niesen Hayden and David Bratman via email. Unfortunately, they're also pretty long, so I'm not sure if I'll post them. Maybe I should create a nifty annex, too...For now, I will direct anyone who's still following this to a Washington Post article that Patrick suggested--it's written by a fellow named Chris Mooney and it gets 99% of this stuff right, at least in my book...
UPDATE #4: I swear this will be the last update; I'm just gonna write a new post after this. Those emails by Patrick and David are now available at Avedon's annex. If you've bothered to read this, you might as well check 'em out. And Stephen Bates, the fellow who upbraided me for dissing Kenny G responded with an interesting and decidedly temperate note on jazz music, which I may get around to posting at some point.
Received an email today from Jim Capozzola of the Rittenhouse Review, and he graciously deferred credit for breaking the Lillygate story to Dwight Meredith of PLA (Politics, Law and Autism). He also recommends WampumBlog as a source on the thimerosal story.
The Bitch Girls report that one of their classmates took this story from The Onion a liiiiitle too seriously...

NEOLOGISTIC HAPPINESS: This one sounds like a Seinfeld manoeuvre--credit card behemoth Visa, All-Mighty Watcher of Our Consumption Habits, defines re-gifting as "passing gifts along rather than hitting the stores."
According to Visa, 20% of Canadians re-gift at least once during the winter holidays, and more women re-gift (26%) than men (15%).
I personally think "gift cycling" would be a cooler term.
ASIDE #1 (JUST FOR SKIPPY): Hey, look--according to that article, Canucks went crazy with spending during October. Looks like the holidays won't be so bad after all...
ASIDE #2 (FOR EVERYONE): I have no idea when this post will go up, as Blogger has been ornery lately. There's one other post behind this one that it has refused to post since yesterday, too, which is why I haven't been posting. Bah.

BACK IN TORONTO: Way, way too much shuttling around this semester. This is the fourth time I've been in T.O. since the beginning of semester, and it's wearing on me a bit. Not that I don't like returning home, but the travel time seems to chomp huge chunks out of my schedule.
Friends in Canada sometimes ask me what the States are like. I tell them that a lot of it is pretty similar, and that I really like the university. But the one humongous difference that I always notice right away whenever I travel between the two countries is the size and visibility of the underclass in the U.S. In New Haven, I can almost infallibly predict the color of the person who will be working the low-paying jobs at any gas station or fast food joint I visit (or cleaning dishes and taking out trash in the dining halls). And the homeless people and panhandlers are similarly and disturbingly homogeneous.
Trent Lott says that he fell into a trap set by his enemies. Yeah, dude, it was called the civil rights movement.

Since 2013, the Boston Pizza Foundation Future Prospects has donated $1.5 million to help Big Brothers Big Sisters extend and expand mentoring services in new communities and to youth who do not currently have access to Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs. Through The Boston Pizza Foundation Future Prospects we are working together to ensure vulnerable children and youth have the inspiration, experiences and guidance they need to achieve more.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is the leading youth mentoring organization in Canada. Since 1912, the charity has been investing in Canada's future by helping our nation's youth reach their full potential. Research has shown that girls who have a mentor are four times less likely to engage in risky behaviours, such as bullying and lying, and boys who have a mentor are two times more likely to enjoy school and believe that doing well academically is important.
Big Brothers Big Sisters provides mentors to over 40,000 children in over 1,100 communities. This donation is enabling Big Brothers Big Sisters to develop and implement mentoring programs in communities not previously reached. This support brings Big Brothers Big Sisters closer to their vision of ensuring that every child in Canada who needs a mentor has a mentor.

Cazino Zeppelin is set to gain a sequel this month, after Yggdrasil Gaming announced that they would be following up on the groundwork laid by that successful release, in Cazino Cosmos. Although no official launch date has yet been announced, numerous aspects of the new game have come to light.
Cazino Cosmos won't just be the sequel to the Cazino Zeppelin slot; the new game will also feature a high RTP (return to player) rate at 96%, alien-themed imagery, and cheap as chips stakes, making the title ideal for all players for in its own right.
Cazino Cosmos Follows On from Zeppelin
The theme of the soon-to-be-released slot will very much be space, but in particular, extra-terrestrials. Played over 5 reels and 20 lines, the game is also set to cost very little. A two-for-one deal on paylines can see Cazino Cosmos cost as little as 10p a spin, with even maximum stakes set to cost players no more than £20 a game.
For those bets, players are set to be invited to compete to win a non-progressive jackpot which is capped at around 230,000 coins. That is a rather significant cash prize for any non-progressive jackpot game to carry.
What to Expect
Of course, a steampunk finish and alien imagery will only get the slot so far. It also needs features, and there is no shortage of them. Wilds and extra wilds are set to debut in the upcoming release, and a free spin bonus can also be triggered.
With a bit of luck, as many as 20 free spins can be won, with players even pocketing an instant win cash prize if just two, not the all-important, bonus-triggered number of three scatters, are located on the reels. Wilds can also be collected in the new game's special feature, and each collectable wild will bring its own features to the party for the bonus round.
When Can I Play Cazino Cosmos?
Like all new games, there is every possibility that Cazino Cosmos will debut at a handful of top casinos as an exclusive release prior to making its global launch at all leading Yggdrasil sites. However, no word has yet been received on just when that will be. All that is known is that the casino software providers are looking at an early January release for this space-themed slot sequel.

FDA says kratom is an opioid
The herbal supplement kratom contains compounds that have properties similar to prescription opioid painkillers, and carries similar risks for abuse, addiction and serious health consequences, including death, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in a news release.
The agency said that its concerns about kratom are rooted in sound science and are in the interest in protecting public health, which is why the FDA has taken what it calls significant steps to advance the scientific understanding of this product and how it works in the body. As part of this effort, the FDA studied the chemical makeup of kratom at the molecular level to better understand how the supplement behaves inside the body and how it can potentially affect the brain.
Using this modeling platform, FDA scientists analyzed the chemical structures of the 25 most prevalent compounds in kratom and concluded that all of the compounds share the most structural similarities with controlled opioids, such as morphine derivatives.
The agency's scientists also analyzed the chemical structure of these kratom compounds and confirmed that two of the top five most prevalent compounds are known to activate opioid receptors. "This new data provides even stronger evidence of kratom compound opioid properties," the agency said.
The model also predicted that some of the kratom compounds may bind to the receptors in the brain and contribute to stress response that impact neurologic and cardiovascular function. This strengthens the agency's previous warnings of serious side effects associated with kratom, including seizures and respiratory depression.
"Based on scientific information in the literature and further supported by our computational modeling and the reports of its adverse effects in humans, we feel confident in calling compound found in kratom, opioids," the agency stated.
This is a heightened concern in light of the nation's growing opioid epidemic, especially since kratom is not regulated as a prescription drug, like prescription opioids. Through the years, the FDA has been monitoring the use of kratom, and has placed kratom products on import alert to prevent them from entering the country illegally. The agency has also seized several kratom products. The U.S. is not alone in its actions against the supplement. Several other countries, states and cities have banned kratom from entering their jurisdictions.
Finally, the FDA cautioned about the growing number of deaths associated with kratom use. The agency reported in November 2017 that it had received 36 reports of death linked to kratom use. Since then, that number has jumped to 44.
"Taken in total, the scientific evidence we've evaluated about kratom provides a clear picture of the biologic effect of this substance. Kratom should not be used to treat medical conditions, nor should it be used as an alternative to prescription opioids," the agency stated in its news release. "There is no evidence to indicate that kratom is safe or effective for any medical use. And claiming that kratom is benign because it's 'just a plant' is shortsighted and dangerous."

We've been discussing the turmoil in the financial markets for the last three weeks both literally and figuratively. We've discussed the massive flow of money headed into the short-term rates in, "Expected Turbulence in the Financial Markets." We noted the rotation from industrial to precious metals in, "Re-shuffling the Metals Markets." We've caught both sides of the equity market volatility between, "Equity Rally Waves a Caution Flag" and "Hidden Strength in the S&P 500." The final piece of the confusion was addressed timely enough in, "Bottoming Action in the Euro Currency" which we wrote the night before the Dollar turned. The point of all this review is that today's action in the copper market further reinforces the increasingly negative attitude that the commercial traders are taking towards global output. Taken in total, the signs are negative. Taken individually, they are good trading opportunities.

Copper Traders Bailing Out of Record Position
The copper market is frequently referred to as the, "economist of the metals markets" because the supply and demand issues associated with this market lead directly to construction and manufacturing. Therefore, commercial long hedgers actively locking in prices for their future usage is seen as a bullish sign for the economy because construction and manufacturing managers are trying to lock in their production supplies for an expected growth in demand. Obviously, commercial long hedgers setting a record net long position would be indicative of Continue reading Copper Traders Bailing Out of Record Position
Gold, Silver, Platinum and Copper Outlook
The metals markets disappointed in 2014. Global growth concerns weighed on copper and platinum while silver and gold simply appeared to lose interest. There seemed to be little fear of fiat currency defaults in spite of publicly made central bank statements regarding the destruction of certain currency bases in order to spur sovereign inflation levels and stop the downward spiral of disinflation. This week, we'll take an in depth look at the metal markets and tell you what we think the best play is in this complex.

Distributed systems rule much of new technology today, as software programs exist across multiple computers, servers, phones, and smart devices. How can students learn to program these systems? Start with a visual programming environment, says Dr. Akos Ledeczi from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Ledeczi is an electrical and computer engineer who researches distributed systems and how to teach computer science. His research group created the NetsBlox block-based programming platform, based on Snap and similar to Scratch, but it also has capabilities built-in for distributed or parallel programming. Ledeczi discusses the NetsBlox platform, their curriculum for teaching high schoolers, and their Roboscape project to link NetsBlox with robotics and cybersecurity education.

The best way to get into ketosis is the ketogenic diet, which revolves around eating foods rich in natural fats. Eating only moderate protein and restricting the number of carbohydrates eaten each day.
For those who are overweight or not, going into a state of ketosis to improve health can be helpful for many reasons, including improving energy levels, mental abilities and mood stabilization.
- 1 What is the ketosis diet?
- 2 How do you get into ketosis?
- 3 Types of feeding in the ketogenic diet
What is the ketosis diet?
It is the result of following a ketogenic diet or ketosis diet or also with a low-carbohydrate dietThis can be done when glucose is drastically reduced in carbohydrate-rich foods. Finally, the body is forced to find an alternative fuel source that is fat.
Because of the lack of glucose, which is a fast source of energy, the body automatically begins to burn fat. Instead, it produces ketones that increase to a certain extent entering a state of ketosis (1), which would lead to effective and above all healthy weight loss.
What is ketosis? And how it works:
What happens during this process is that the liver breaks down fat into fatty acids and glycerol through a process called beta-oxidation. The body then breaks down these fatty acids into energy-rich substances called ketones that circulate in the bloodstream.
There are three main types of ketone bodies, which are water-soluble molecules produced in the liver: acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate (1) and acetone. Acetoacetate (2) is mainly a specific ketone body, which is responsible for supplying the necessary energy to the body and is formed by a process called ketogenesis.
The end result of this process is to keep the ketones out of the circulating ketones or ketones, which are responsible for altering the metabolism in such a way that some people would classify it as an infallible fat burning machine.
The main goal of the ketogenic diet is to keep the body in a metabolic state of ketosis, or fat burning. This is achieved by following a very low-carbohydrate but high-fat diet, which includes only moderate amounts of protein.
Foods that should not be eaten include bread, cereals, processed snacks and sugary drinks. While foods such as butter, beef, fish and non-starchy vegetables are the main food choices during this diet, providing the majority of the daily calories needed by 80%.
- The consumption of glucose in foods such as grains, starchy foods, fruits and others decreases significantly with the ketosis diet.
- The body is forced to take energy or fuel alternatively from fats (avocados, coconut oil, salmon, etc.).
- During the absence of glucose, the body burns fat and produces ketones instead.
- By increasing ketone levels in the blood it gives way to a state of ketosis.
- The state of ketosis contributes to healthy and stable weight loss for the body.
How do you get into ketosis?
Ketosis induction requires limiting carbohydrate intake. This way, the glucose supply to your cells can be cut off. In addition to severely limiting your intake of carbohydrates, you also need to limit your intake of protein, which may be converted into small amounts of glucose.
Types of feeding in the ketogenic diet
- If you intend to follow a strict ketogenic diet, you aim to get 60 to 80 percent of your daily calories from fat sources. About 15 to 35 percent of the calories should come from protein sources, and only about 5 to 10 percent from carbohydrates.
- Based on the fact, authorities recommend getting 45 to 65 percent of your calories from carbohydrates and only 20 to 35 percent of your calories from fat. This will probably be very different from what I was used to.
How long does it take to get ketosis?
This result will depend on certain elements including the strict way to limit carbohydrate intake. Also certain variables that may be out of your control such as genetics, medical history, body composition and ultimately energy needs.
It is advisable to strictly follow the list of foods allowed in the ketogenic diet, which will allow you to see favorable results and improvements within a couple of weeks.
Symptoms of ketosis
Here are some of the symptoms you may experience during this process:
- Tiredness and lack of energy.
- Difficulty sleeping.
- Increased cravings, especially for carbohydrates or sugar.
- Digestive problems such as constipation or swelling due to fluid retention (especially after the highest carbohydrate days).
- Feeling of weakness during training and lack of desired recovery.
- Presence of temperamental attitude and irritability.
- Absence of libido.
- Bad breath.
During this process, you may also notice improvements in several health markers, as well as suppression of appetite. Here are some of the advantages of an effective transition to this process:
- Weight loss (due to fluid and fat loss)
- Decreased appetite and cravings. As the days go by, you will notice a decrease in eating for several times a day. In fact, appetite suppression is one of the most significant signs of ketosis.
- Improvement of energy levels, concentration and mental performance (especially after a certain time). The transition from the energy drop to a significant improvement will be noticeable.
You can feel confident that you are in ketosis by measuring ketones in your blood, breathing, and urine. Among the tools we can use are:
- Using a blood ketone meter-These use test strips and provide accurate measurements of BHB ketone levels in your blood.
- Performing urine tests: You can measure ketone levels using inexpensive urine strips. They are cost-effective and simple to do.
- Use of a breathalyzer: These measure the ketone body called acetone and do not require strips, however, they may not be as accurate or effective as blood tests.
Food allowed
Sources of wild and grass-fed animals:
- Pasture-fed beef (beef, lamb, goat, venison), fish and shellfish ,pasteurized pork and poultry, eggs, butter
- Liver, heart, kidneys and other organ meats
Healthy fats:
- Pig fat, tallow, chicken fat, duck fat, goose fat, clarified butter / butter, coconut oil)
- Monounsaturated (avocado, macadamia and olive oil)
- Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially of animal origin (fatty fish and shellfish)
- Curly kale
- Spinach
- Chard
- Lettuce
- Brussels sprouts
- Broccoli
Other options include:
- Onions
- Peppers
- Asparagus
- Swede
- Celery
- Cucumber
- Courgette
- Spaghetti pumpkin
- Cauliflower
Fruits should be limited and consumed in VERY small amounts, as they have a high sugar content. When eating fruits, choose low sugar options such as:
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Sour cherries
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
Food prohibited from entering ketosis
All grains and foods made from grains, even whole grains, should be avoided because they contain too many carbohydrates and will interfere with ketosis, slowing down weight loss. That includes the following:
- Wheat
- Barley
- Oats
- Rice
- Rye
- Maize
- Quinoa
- Millet
- Sorghum
- Bulgur
- Amaranth
- Sprouted grains
- Buckwheat
- Breads made from any of the above
- Pastes made from any of the above
- Cookies, cookies, or pizza crusts made from any of the above
Beans and legumes:
While beans provide nutrition for those on a regular diet, they are not suitable for the ketogenic diet because of their high starch (carbon) content:
- Beans
- Chickpeas
- Black beans
- Lentils
- Green peas
- Beans
- pinto beans
- Large beans from the north (white beans)
- beans
Mostly fruit:
This includes tropical fruits, fruit juices, dried fruits and fruit shakes (mostly). If you have fruits, make sure you have low sugar options like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, and eat very sparingly. Fruits to avoid include:
- Bananas
- Pineapples
- Papaya
- Apples
- Oranges
- Grapes
- Handles
- Mandarins
- All fruit juices
- Fruit shakes
- Dried fruits such as raisins, dates, dried mango, etc.
- Fruit syrup
- Fruit concentrates
Starchy vegetables:
As a general rule, it is good to avoid vegetables that grow under the ground and focus more on leafy greens. The high starch content of some vegetables, such as those listed below, is problematic because, as with beans, high starch means high in carbohydrates.
- Sweet potatoes
- Sweet potatoes
- Potatoes
- Carrots
- Stingrays
- Peas
- Yucca
- Maize
- Artichoke
This is a big one because very few people are immediately willing to sacrifice alcohol. Although it may not be as harmful to ketosis as foods rich in carbohydrates, too much alcohol can easily decrease fat loss in ketosis. In addition, many alcoholic beverages have carbohydrates to care for, such as:
- Beers
- Wines (especially sweet wines)
- Cocktails
- Mixers containing juices, flavoured syrups and soft drinks
- Flavoured liqueurs
What recommendations should I follow before starting the ketosis diet?
In order to start this diet, it is important to note that it is different from most other common diets. Including many popular low-carbohydrate diets, as it involves significantly changing metabolism.
Among the testimonies of people who have practiced the ketosis diet, it is vital to take a 3 or 4 week adjustment time. It allows them to experience fewer negative symptoms associated with the early stages.
When you go into ketosis, it is common to notice certain signs and symptoms that will gradually let you know that your body is changing. Although the practice of the ketogenic diet may be challenging at first, causing some visible side effects between the first and second weeks, these may disappear over time.
How to obtain positive results in the rapid ketogenic diet?
- For optimal results and the fastest improvements in terms of blood sugar and weight loss, it is recommended to eat between 20-30 grams of net carbohydrate (total grams of carbohydrate minus grams of fiber) per day.
- It is usually best to include more carbohydrates to begin the transition to ketosis, to help you avoid severe side effects. 50 to 60 grams of net carbohydrates are recommended at first, while working to decrease from 20 to 30 grams if desired.
- Note that the ketogenic diet takes into account"net grams of carbohydrates," not just"total grams." Net carbohydrates are the amount of carbohydrates remaining after subtracting grams of fiber from the total grams of carbohydrates.For example, if the vegetables you are eating have 5 grams of carbohydrates total, but 3 grams come from fiber, the total number of net carbohydrates is only 2 grams, which is the number you add to your daily total.
- Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and also increase your intake of electrolytes, especially potassium from things like green leaves and avocado.
- Exercise can also help you get ketosis faster, although in the early stages this can be difficult due to low energy levels.
