<br />
Residents of Flint, Michigan have been receiving FREE cases of water, water filtration devices, and replacement filters using State, Federal, and private donations of money and labor to help them cope with the contaminated water problems caused by the temporary switch to Flint River water supply.<br />
<br />
As bad as this situation appears, it has now been discovered that Flint residents are taking their FREE filters, water, etc. to area stores and receiving refunds in ca$h or $tore credits instead of using these products to make their water intake safer.<br />
<br />
Residents have also been seen trading their filter systems and cases of water to local <a href="http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2012/01/flints_alcohol_problem_per_cap.html" target="_blank">liquor and convenience stores</a> for booze and cigarettes. The filter systems and cases of water are then resold by these unscrupulous store owners at other locations.<br />

<br />
FEMA, Genesee County Emergency Management, National Guard, and volunteers have been instructed to black out UPC codes, using black Sharpie markers, on all water, filter, and replacement filter packages before being handed out to the Flint residents to prevent them from being returned to stores for cash.<br />

Corn flakes cereal is a staple on breakfast tables all over the
world. Today it is marketed as a healthy part of a balanced breakfast.
But corn flakes were originally invented by a fanatically religious
doctor as a way to stop people from masturbating.<br />

<i>The country's most popular anti-sex food.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
In 1894, two brothers, Dr John Harvey Kellogg and Will Keith "WK"
Kellogg, were running a sanitarium and health spa in the town of Battle
Creek, Michigan.<br />
John was the Superintendent, and WK was the bookkeeper.
Among the treatments offered at the sanitarium/hospital for various
ailments were hot and cold water baths, hydro-therapy with water enemas,
electric-current therapy, light therapy using both sunlight and
artificial lamps, and a regimen of exercise and massage. Among the more
famous of the hospital's clients through the 1910's and 1920's were
President Warren G Harding, actor Johnny Weissmuller, Henry Ford, Amelia
Earhart, Sojourner Truth, and Mary Todd Lincoln.<br />
<br />
Both of the Kellogg brothers were Seventh-Day Adventists, a
fundamentalist church emphasizing strict Biblical literalism and clean
living, and their religious beliefs had a huge influence on many of
their "treatments". The Adventists believed in maintaining the purity of
the "body's temple", and forbade the use of caffeine, alcohol and
nicotine. They were also strict vegetarians.<br />
<br />
Dr John Kellogg, however, took the Adventist faith in the purity of
the body to an even further extreme. He was firmly convinced that sex
itself was impure and harmful--and most especially the "solitary vice",
the "self-pollution" of masturbation. Kellogg married, but never
consummated the union--he and his wife had separate bedrooms, and they
adopted all their children. Kellogg became famous across the country for
his books condemning sex, promoting celibacy, and luridly describing
the evil health effects of "onanism", which included everything from
epilepsy to mood swings to dementia. "Neither plague, nor war, nor
small-pox," he thundered in one of his anti-sex books, "have produced
results so disastrous to humanity as the pernicious habit of onanism.
Such a victim dies literally by his own hand." Among the "treatments"
that Kellogg proposed for masturbation were piercing the foreskin with
silver wires to prevent erections, and using carbolic acid to burn the
clitoris so it wouldn't be touched.<br />
<br />
But another part of his anti-sex and anti-masturbation "treatment"
came from his traditional Adventist reliance on vegetarianism. Kellogg
convinced himself that eating meats and spicy foods increased the desire
for sex, and forbade any of them at his sanitarium. Instead, he
prescribed a bland tasteless diet containing mostly whole grains and
nuts. In this, he was following the earlier lead of Presbyterian
religious fanatic Sylvester Graham, who had invented the whole-wheat
graham cracker as part of a diet that would reduce people's sexual
desire and stop them from both copulating and masturbating. Kellogg now
attempted to make his own anti-sex food, by mixing corn meal and oatmeal
into dough, adding nuts, and baking them into biscuits which were then
crumbled into pieces. He called it "granula". Unfortunately for Kellogg,
that name was already being used by another health food fanatic with a
similar product, and he threatened to sue--so Kellogg changed the name
of his concoction to "granola". <br />
<br />
The Kellogg brothers also experimented with different types of bread,
and with using whole-grain dough to make thin rolled sheets of toasted
crackers. One day, after just having cooked some wheat for rolling, they
were unexpectedly called away. When they got back, they ran the cooled
wheat through the rollers, and each grain was flattened into an
individual flake. It was, they thought, a wonderful health food. In 1898
they tried the same process using corn instead of wheat, and "corn
flakes" were born.<br />
<br />
John Kellogg immediately began serving corn flakes to his patients at
the sanitarium, as a method of cleansing their bodies and reducing
their sex drive. His bookkeeper brother WK, meanwhile, had less
religious fervor and more business sense than John did, and thought they
should add sugar to the mixture to eliminate the cardboard taste (a
heretical thought to John) and sell it to the public as a breakfast
cereal. After some arguing, the two patented their flake cereals and
formed the Sanitas Food Company to sell them through mail-order, mostly
to former patients of the sanitarium. After a time, the wheat flakes
were dropped. But corn flake sales remained low, mostly because John
Kellogg still refused to add sugar to the recipe to make it more
palatable. Finally in 1906, in frustration, WK Kellogg purchased the
rights to make "corn flakes" from his brother, changed the recipe, and
set up the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company. After a long legal
battle with his brother over the use of the name "Kellogg", this became
the Kellogg Cereal Company, adding Bran Flakes to its product list in
1915 and Rice Krispies in 1927.<br />
<br />
By 1930, the Kellogg Cereal Company was the largest breakfast cereal
maker in the world. Its primary competition, the Post Cereal Company,
had been founded by CW Post--a former patient at the Kellogg Sanitarium,
who, WK Kellogg always claimed, had stolen the recipe for corn flakes
from the hospital's safe. Today, Kellogg's Corn Flakes are the
best-selling breakfast cereal in the US.</div>

<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
The 32 questions that Hillary needs to answer:</h4>
<br />
<br />
1. When did she know <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/31/rap-sheet-the-women-who-claim-to-be-victims-of-bill-and-hillary-clinton/" target="_blank">her husband was a serial abuser</a>, and does she feel guilty for destroying his accusers?<br />
<br />
2. Explain precisely <a href="http://moneymorning.com/2015/11/06/the-mystery-of-the-hillary-clinton-cattle-futures-controversy/" target="_blank">the trades made in the Cattle Futures</a> scandal where $1,000 was turned into $99,000 in a matter of weeks?<br />
<br />
3. Why didn't she do anything to <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/22/clinton-benghazi-hearing-gowdy-dead-deserve-truth/?page=all" target="_blank">protect the Americans in Benghazi</a>?<br />
<br />
4. Who is Saul Alinsky and why was he her mentor?<br />
<br />
5. When she was working on Watergate, why did her boss Zeifman, a
lifelong Democrat, call Hillary a “liar” and “an unethical, dishonest
lawyer” and have her fired?<br />
<br />
6. What really happened with <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/a-brief-guide-to-clinton-scandals-from-travelgate-to-emailgate/article/2562906" target="_blank">Travelgate</a>?<br />
<br />
7. What really happened with the <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/04/hillary-clintons-long-history-of-hiding-documents/" target="_blank">Rose Law Firm</a>?<br />
<br />
8. What really happened with <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/whitewater/stories/wwtr960602.htm" target="_blank">Whitewater</a>?<br />
<br />
9. What gave Hillary the right to <a href="http://www.freedomwatchusa.org/hillary-clinton-tries-to-escape-from-on-going-filegate-case" target="_blank">see private FBI files</a> of her political enemies in File Gate?<br />
<br />
10. Why won't she turn over her illegal server with State Department e-mails to Congress?<br />
<br />
11. Why does your foundation <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/foreign-governments-gave-millions-to-foundation-while-clinton-was-at-state-dept/2015/02/25/31937c1e-bc3f-11e4-8668-4e7ba8439ca6_story.html" target="_blank">accept money from avowed terror states</a>?<br />
<br />
12. What is her take on the Vince Foster "Suicide"?<br />
<br />
13. Why did she think she was entitled to <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2001/feb/10/news/mn-23723" target="_blank">steal the White House furniture</a> when she left?<br />
<br />
14. Why do you lie even about things that mean nothing: lying about
being under sniper fire in Bosnia, lying about being named after Sir
Edmund Hillary, or lying that your grandparents were immigrants?<br />
<br />
15. Should America be concerned that in "Chinagate", the 22 people
that were convicted of fraud or for funneling Asian funds into the DNC
were associates of Bill Clinton?<br />
<br />
16. Did <a href="http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/02/26/clinton.lincoln/" target="_blank">selling stays at the Lincoln Bedroom</a> to political donors make you feel like a wh)o(re?<br />
<br />
17. <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/264988-bill-clinton-rape-accuser-hillary-tried-to-silence-me" target="_blank">Does Hillary think Juanita Broadrick lied</a> when she said on national news that Bill Clinton raped her?<br />
<br />
18. Is she still okay that <a href="http://watch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-sues-for-secret-service-records-of-costs-for-bill-clintons-trips-to-caribbean-island-owned-by-registered-sex-offender-jeffrey-epstein/" target="_blank">Bill goes to pedophile island</a> with Jeff Epstein?<br />
<br />
19. Why are there so many murdered and suicided people in the Clinton's immediate circle?<br />
<br />
20. Doesn't the fact that the <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/17/clinton-foundation-amends-tax-returns-discloses-millions-foreign-contributions/" target="_blank">Clinton Foundation has to amend 5 years of its tax returns</a> for improper reporting imply that you were involved
in an illegal RICO enterprise?<br />
<br />
21. Doesn't approving the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?_r=0" target="_blank">Russian-owned Uranium One deal</a> as secretary
of state--because of illegal contributions to your foundation--in fact
make you a traitor to this country?<br />
<br />
22. Was it wise to have at least four Clinton Foundation board of
directors that have either been convicted or charged of the financial
crimes of bribery and fraud?<br />
<br />
23. Why, Hillary, did you pay your female Senate staffers 72% of what you paid your male staffers?<br />
<br />
24. When you <a href="http://thoughtcatalog.com/james-b-barnes/2014/06/hillary-clinton-knowingly-convicted-a-child-rapist-is-she-still-a-feminist/" target="_blank">represented an accused pedophile rapist</a>, why did you
laugh when you got him off even though you believed him to be guilty?<br />
<br />
25. She said she had one e-mail address, it came out that she had
two; She said she had one device, it came out that she had two: She said
none of her e-mails on her private server was classified, but when the
State Dept handed over 300 e-mails the FBI redacted large sections of
one, proving again she was wrong. Thus, Ms. Clinton, are you incompetent
or just a congenital liar?<br />
<br />
26. In a CNN interview you said your records were not under subpoena,
when in fact the Congress of The United States of America had issued
two subpoenas before you destroyed your server. Do you think it's
impossible that you will ever go to jail, or are you just psychopathic?<br />
<br />
27. There were over 600 e-mail requests for additional security
before the Benghazi attack--you said you saw none of them. Are you so
grossly incompetent that an ambassador--who you appointed and knew
personally--can't get assistance in the most dangerous part of the
world? 600 requests?<br />
<br />
28. Within hours of the attack you promoted a false narrative that a
video was responsible for the attacks, yet you sent e-mails to Chelsea,
the President of Egypt and others that you knew it was a planned terror
attack. Do you routinely lie to the families of fallen heroes and the
American public?<br />
<br />
29. Why did Chelsea even get an update on Benghazi? Does she have Top Secret clearance?<br />
<br />
30. Marc Rich, was to be indicted on 65 criminal counts, including
tax evasion, fraud and working with Iran during the hostage crisis, was
granted a pardon by your husband during his last day in office. Do you
think it's a coincidence that Rich’s wife contributed $450,000 to the
foundation for the Clinton Presidential Library and $100,000 to Hillary
Clinton’s Senate campaign?<br />
<br />
31. Wasn't it an outright lie when you claimed to have tried to join
the Marines at age 27 when it a matter of record that you were an
outspoken critic of the Vietnam War?<br />
<br />
32. In the recently released Huma Abedin e-mail--your closest aid--
she described you as "Often Confused." Should the "Often Confused" be
running the country?<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://youtu.be/ZzUKuI5kEZE" target="_blank">one important question she WAS asked</a> concerned her accomplishments as Secretary of State. This is the gem we got:<br />
<br />
“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked!
My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly
because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of
prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner
whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do
that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major
accomplishment.”<br />
- Hillary Clinton, March 11, 2014<br />
<br />
So the Clinton's weren't so bad, eh?<br />
<br />
If you're under 50 you really need to read this. If you’re over 50,
you lived through it, so share it with those under 50. Amazing to me how
much I had forgotten!<br />
<br />
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume
authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and
intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled
congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in
cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.<br />
<br />
Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female
attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba
Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. Next
she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as "my
worst mistake." Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas
David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas
resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children from the gassing and
subsequent fire.<br />
<br />
Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of
the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a
little probing led to the discovered of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her
name had to be withdrawn from consideration.<br />
<br />
Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some
more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the
Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William
Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections also went
predictably well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed
suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.<br />
<br />
Many younger votes will have no knowledge of "Travelgate." Hillary
wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry
Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She
managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their
reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month
investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime,
and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds.
A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.<br />
Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to
recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of
Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for
the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies
(Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff,
suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and
of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.<br />
<br />
Following
this debacle, the FBI, out of embarrassment, closed its White House
Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven
presidents.<br />
Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual
harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the
#$%$ eruption" and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions
in the debacle were:<br />
<br />
She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.<br />
<br />
She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the
appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million
dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica
Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his
affairs.<br />
<br />
Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in <a href="https://www.lewrockwell.com/2012/09/gary-north/lost-law-licenses-presidents-obama-clinton-and-nixon/" target="_blank">Bill losing his license to practice law</a> for "Lying under Oath" to a grand jury and then his
subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.<br />
<br />
Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice
during the Starr investigation by repeating, "I do not recall," "I have
no recollection," and "I don’t know" a total of 56 times while under
oath.<br />
<br />
After leaving the White House, <a href="http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/oct/01/viral-image/viral-image-wrongly-accuses-clinton-stealing/" target="_blank">Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen on the way out.</a><br />
<br />
What a swell party – ready for another four or eight year of this type low-life mess?<br />
<br />
Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating
emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the "pay to play"
schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall
next. But to her loyal fans - "what difference does it make?"<br />
<br />
Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to heaven!<br />
<br />
In addition to various consensual relationships with women not his
wife, some going on for years, the Governor of Arkansas found it
necessary to have his security detail escort a total stranger who was at
the same state employee convention in Little Rock up to his room upon
which he dropped his pants and requested sex. In an amazing ruling, a
friendly judge ruled there was no criminal act in the Governor of
Arkansas' actions even though it violated various laws regarding abuse
of authority and sexual harassment. The woman sued.<br />
<br />
The Governor went on
to be elected President and went all the way to the SCOTUS to get the
lawsuit quashed while he was President, and he lost 9-0 before the
SCOTUS. While being deposed in the lawsuit, he deliberately lied under
oath and got caught by a certain blue dress, and he also was guilty of
obstruction of justice in his efforts to affect the testimony of the
owner of that blue dress. He was impeached, and in an act of total
disregard for the law, his political Party circled the wagons and made
the case about his dalliance with an intern when they knew it was not
the underlying case in which he perjured himself and obstructed justice.<br />
<br />
To this day, the President's political Party is successful at covering
up what he actually did to get sued and to this date most people
incorrectly identify his offense as having been his consensual dalliance
with the intern. His political Party and their supporters completely
destroyed the reputation of the women, calling them liars, b...bos,
sl...ts, Carville had his famous quote about dragging a hundred dollar
bill through a trailer park, and the whole thing was declared a
political witch hunt even though the President was guilty as Hades and
had to pay off his accuser.<br />
<br />
The President is revered by his Party for treating women like garbage
and their true feelings about women are evident in their defending the
indefensible<br />
<br />
This is what Trump is Warning Hillary about......and you know he will use it.<br />
<br />
From Britain’s Daily Mail:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3070100/Prince-Andrew-s-convicted-pedophile-friend-Jeffrey-Epstein-spotted-strolling-New-York-City-young-attractive-blonde.html" target="_blank">Bill Clinton And The Pedophile: The Sex Scandal That Could Destroy Hillary’s Presidential Ambitions</a><br />
<br />
Long history of American people willing to overlook his sexual promiscuity....but not this.<br />
<br />
Why did a convicted billionaire pedophile named Jeffrey Epstein that
pimped out underage girls to powerful men have 21 contact phone numbers
for Bill Clinton?<br />
And why did Clinton fly on “multiple occasions” to the private
Caribbean island where Epstein regularly held wild sexual orgies? Let me
give you a hint: it was not to discuss politics over milk and cookies.
Every once in a while, we get a small peek into the twisted sexual world
of the global elite. In this case, a Florida lawsuit that alleges that
Britain’s Prince Andrew had sex with a 17-year-old “sex slave” provided
by Epstein is making headlines all over the planet. But of potentially
even greater importance is what this lawsuit is revealing about Bill
Clinton. If it can be proven that Bill Clinton had sex with underage
girls provided by Jeffrey Epstein that could potentially destroy any
chance that Hillary Clinton has of winning the presidency in 2016.<br />
<br />
Since that time, approximately 40 other women have accused Epstein of sexual misconduct.<br />
<br />
So needless to say, this is one very sick individual.<br />
<br />
And right now the mainstream media in the U.S. is largely ignoring
the fact that<br />
Bill Clinton flew down to Epstein’s private Caribbean
island on “multiple occasions”<br />
Details buried in original court papers filed against pervert Jeffrey
Epstein, 61, reveal that he recorded the sordid orgies he threw for
VIPs at his luxury homes using cameras hidden in the walls of guest
bedrooms.<br />
<br />
So if Bill Clinton did commit a crime, somewhere there may actually be video of it.<br />
<br />
But wait, there’s even more to this story. The following comes from the Daily Mail…<br />
<br />
The lawsuit claims that Clinton was friends with an unnamed woman who
‘kept images of naked underage children on her computer, helped to
recruit underage children for Epstein… and photographed underage females
in sexually explicit poses‘.<br />
<br />
While he cut off ties with Epstein, this woman’s abuses apparently
did not end their relationship as she was reportedly one of the 400
guests at Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding.<br />
<br />
Though the lawsuit may be bringing up sexual skeletons from Clinton’s
past, he has added to the drama of late by posing for a photo with two
known prostitutes at a fundraiser in Los Angeles last month.<br />
<br />
Obviously Bill Clinton has a lot of hard questions that he needs to answer.<br />
But if Bill Clinton cannot be charged with a crime, will the American
people even care what else he did...I think this time they just might.<br />
<br />
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority
over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she
couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress. This
fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for

<br />
Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan
absolution and giving him the keys to heaven! One more thing... when she
was Secretary of State, Bill gave a speech to an enemy country for one
million dollars and the next year gave another for one million dollars.
What did he say to warrant such a large charge? The money went into
their Foundation Group, tax free.... Considered illegal!<br />
<br />

We will add more links as they are found!<br />

Peace, and KNOW the TRUTH!!<br />

The amount of progress we’ve made, as humans, in regard to
wiping our backsides, is embarrassing. It’s 2015 and the fact that we’re
still shoving paper up there to clean out detritus is absurd and
laughable. Look at how far technology has come in recent
years — everything from computers to automobiles to video games to
communication tools have evolved at warp speed.<br />

So, it's spring. Well, sort of anyway. Maybe just a wee bit late.<br />
<br />
Ms. Avops and myself are going out to pick up some pepper plants for
the mini garden that replaced our huge sprawling garden from years
back. So first we hit the local grocery store... green bell peppers
are sold out, sorry. Next, we hit the local greenhouse... same story.
Then we head a little farther out of town to the lady who sells
plants in front of her house. Now this is a kind of sad statement as
to the regulation of small home-based growers. Seems that this gal,
who for years has been selling her greenhouse starter plants at very
competitive prices has been shut down by the township. Big Brother
told her that there were too many cars stopping to buy her products
and that it was causing a nuisance to someone and gave her a cease
and desist order. Pretty sad, she always had a good selection of very
healthy plants at really good prices. I'm guessing she was causing a
loss of profit to the well connected “legitimate business” around
here.<br />
<br />
Anyway, with that option scratched of the list, off we go to the
“Big Box” store in the next town over. Yay! They still have some
garden vegetable plants! So we make our way through the
elbow-to-elbow crowds to the vegetable section.... and.... there are
2, yes, TWO green bell pepper plants left. One looked like a survivor
of a drone strike and the other looked like maybe it was coming down
with a case of capsicum fever.... so I grabs the flat of feverish
looking peppers and am ready to make a quick escape from the hordes
in the “Big Box” open air prison complex.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, I realize that Ms. Avops is nowhere to be found........
rats.<br />
<br />
So off I go in search of the missing woman. Quickly scanning the
writhing hordes, I spot a waving arm! There's the Ms. right back
where I started. So I make my way back, bouncing off a few plant
zombies, and meet Ms. A right where I got my green pepper treasures.
She has a big smile and a flat of decent looking pepper-like plants in
her hand. She says "these are the ones we are going to buy!"<br />
<br />
OK, at this
point I'm ready to crawl over the barb wire fence to get out of
there. She takes my flat of feverish looking green peppers and puts
them back on the shelf and gives me HER flat of decent looking green
peppers.<br />
<br />
Zoom... we're outta there!<br />
<br />
Back a the ranch, I get the planter ready for the green peppers
and start removing them from the fancy pot, noticing that the leaves
are a little different than what I remember from green peppers, I spy
some microscopic writing on the side of the flat. So I go get my
magnifying glass (yes, I'm at THAT age) and low and behold.... we are
the proud owners of a flat of tomatillos!<br />
Great! Now what the heck are tomatillos? Off to the inter-web to
do some research.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So, I find out that the tomatillo is:</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“a native to Mexico and
domesticated by the Aztecs around 800 B.C., tomatillos are one of our
most ancient food-bearing plants. Today, you can grow varieties of
the same two species the Aztecs grew. <i>Physalis ixocarpa</i> is
commonly sold in markets and has large (up to 2 ½-inch-diameter)
tart green fruits, which ripen to pale yellow. <i>P. philadelphica</i>
produces sweeter, marble-size purple fruits. This species is a common
field weed in Mexico, but it is no less delicious. “</blockquote>
</blockquote>
Great again! Now, what are we gonna do with 'em? Turns out they
are pretty easy to grow (probably has something to do with the field
weed thing) and..... they are considered an essential ingredient for
authentic salsa (among other things).<br />
Alrighty then, here's a few ways to use these critters if you ever

<br />
<b>Smoky Salsa Verde</b><br />
Roast a large unpeeled onion, five
unpeeled garlic cloves, two to five chile peppers (such as Serrano,
poblano, or Anaheim), and 1 pound tomatillos on a charcoal grill or
in a heavy, ungreased skillet on top of the stove until charred and
soft. Peel the onion, garlic, and peppers and cut into chunks. Pulse
all ingredients briefly in a food processor along with sea salt, a
handful of cilantro, and a generous squirt of fresh lime juice. Serve
with chips or use to smother cheese enchiladas.<br />
<br />
<b>Crisp Fried Tomatillos</b><br />
Halve the fruits. Beat an egg
with a ½ cup of milk. Prepare a shallow bowl of seasoned flour and
another of cornmeal. Toss the fruits first in flour, then in the egg
mixture, then roll in cornmeal. Fry in olive oil in a nonstick
skillet until crisp and golden.<br />
<br />
<b>Green Rice</b><br />
Puree 2½ cups raw tomatillos with ten
cilantro sprigs. Measure 2 cups of this puree. In a medium saucepan,
sautée a finely chopped small onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until
soft. Add 1 cup rice and cook, stirring, five minutes longer. Add the
puree and 1 teaspoon salt, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to
low and cook 20 to 30 minutes, until all liquid is absorbed.<br />
<br />
And... drumroll please....<br />
<br />
<b>Terrific Trio</b><br />
Combine tomatillos, cilantro, and onion
for a classic salsa combo!<br />
<br />
And there you have it! Enjoy! It's Summertime!!<br />

Here, it's blueberry season! That time
of year that the whole town and township are all about everything
blueberry. They have made the humble blueberry into a center of
commercial and financial deification. Seriously, they have a
blueberry festival, and blueberry parade, a blueberry king and queen,
blueberry pancakes, muffins, and probably a dozen other blue things
you and I have never even thought of.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It's a little town, about 1000 souls
plus another 2000 in the township, so who can blame them for latching
on to the blueberry as their savior from the fires of anonymity! I
suppose the orchard about a mile outside of the city had a lot to do
with this event season. The orchard is a rather smallish operation
that has apples, peaches, strawberries, and of course, the venerable
blueberry.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
They are pretty decent folks, the
orchard owners. I've traded some useless (to me) stuff I had laying
around the house for 10 lbs of blueberries a few years ago, and have
been a steady customer ever since.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The wonders of small town life!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Anyway... I'm going to give you a
little blueberry history, just for giggles.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Blueberries, also known as <i>bilberries,
whortleberries</i> and <i>hurtleberries,</i> are named for their
velvety, deep-blue color, of course. These luscious berries are one
of the few fruits native to North America. Native Americans used the
berries, leaves, and roots for medicinal purposes. The fruit was used
as a fabric dye and combined with meat into a nutritious dried
jerky.<br />The shrub is of the genus <i>Vaccinium,</i> from the Latin
<i>vacca</i> for cow since cows love them, a fact first noted by
Captain James Cook in the late 1700s.<br />Blueberries used to be
picked by hand until the invention of the blueberry rake by Abijah
Tabbutt of Maine in 1822, so it's no wonder that Maine's state berry
is the blueberry.<br />The most popular variety of blueberry is
<i>Vaccinium corymbosum,</i> known as the <i>"highbush"</i>
blueberry. The wild <i>"lowbush"</i> varieties are a
favorite of those who like to pick their own in the wilds.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
And... there you have it!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So, now that I've told you everything
about blueberries that you never wanted to know, I'll quickly segue
into my new hobby of baking! Which is why I've just told you the saga
of the blueberry centric area in which I live.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As of late, I've been baking all kinds
of breads, cakes and pastries made with...... of course, blueberries!
It really is the most excellent way to enjoy the summer months of
harvest and stay out of hot sun! I'm really enjoying the new hobby as
it seems to be a combination of chemistry and art, along with some
really random exercises that combine to make some really tasty
comestibles.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I can kill half a day just like that in
the kitchen..... no worrying about politics, or world hunger, or
killer earthquakes or asteroids or whatever the latest lone wolf
killer has been up to! It really is a special world I create when I'm
baking the days away.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Today, I will leave you with a couple
of recipes for blueberry heaven that I have baked in the last couple
of weeks. Enjoy, if you dare!</div>

So a few months ago the country was enthralled with the idea of a few
patients, infected with the Ebola virus, coming to the United States. Up
until this point, we had been safe from Ebola due to the fact that bats
can’t fly over the Atlantic. Some people were completely indifferent,
while others had seen Outbreak one too many times. Most were a healthy
mix, somewhere in between, but what bothered me the most was both the
lack of education and the poor information that was spreading more
virulently than the virus could ever hope to.<br />

The myth put forth by private prison corporations like Corrections
Corporation of America (CCA) and the GEO Group that private prisons are
cheaper than public prisons <a href="http://www.inthepublicinterest.org/sites/default/files/Prison%20Costs%20Backgrounder%20Brief_Template.pdf" target="_self">is shattered by a new report</a> from
In the Public Interest, thus undercutting the primary rationale for
prison privatization efforts across the country. When pushing for
contracts with the many states that use private prisons, these
corporations claim they are the better option because they can run
prisons more cheaply than the government can. But this report not only
dispels that idea, it highlights some of the less-than-savory activities
the corporations engage in because of the perverse incentives created
by these contracts.<br />
The report details several methods through
which private prison companies mislead governments and the public about
their supposed cost savings, particularly hiding costs of private
prisons, inflating public prison costs, benefiting from mandated
occupancy minimums and delaying cost increases until after contracts are
signed.<br />
Numerous studies have shown that private prisons are more
expensive than their publicly run counterparts. The report details a
series of meta-analyses of individual studies conducted on the
comparative costs between public and private prisons, and all of them
found that cost savings, at best, were minimal for private prisons—in
many cases, private prisons were more expensive. One of the few studies
that showed private prisons to be more cost-effective was funded by the
prison companies and is currently the subject of an ethics inquiry at
Temple University. A close examination of many of the states that have
invested heavily in prison privatization has shown the failure of the
"private prisons are cheaper" idea:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Arizona:</b> The state found private prisons can cost up to
$1,600 per prisoner per year, despite private prisons often only housing
the healthiest prisoners.</li>
<li><b>Florida:</b> Three separate multiyear studies found the majority
of the private prisons in the state failed to meet the legally mandated
7% cost savings, while half of the private prisons failed to save any
money at all.</li>
<li><b>Georgia:</b> In 2011, private prisons cost the state $45.81 per
prisoner per day, compared with $44.51 per prisoner per day in publicly
run prisons.</li>
<li><b>Hawaii:</b> The state found the projected savings of using
private prison contractors were based on bed capacity rather than the
actual number of people incarcerated and that indirect administration
costs were not included.</li>
<li><b>New Mexico:</b> Over a five-year period, the state saw its annual
spending on private prisons increase by 57% while the prisoner
population only increased 21%. A significant portion of the increase was
because of automatic price increases included in contracts with the
private prison corporations.</li>
<li><b>Ohio:</b> The state expected the private operation of the Lake
Erie Correctional Institution would save the state $2.4 million a year,
but it has turned out to instead cost the state $380,000 to $700,000 a
year.</li>
</ul>
As the report notes:<br />
<div class="blockquote">
To maximize returns for
their investors, for-profit prison companies have perverse incentives
to cut costs in vital areas such as security personnel, medical care and
programming, threatening the health and safety of prisoners and staff.</div>
There
are several different reasons that savings fail to materialize. CCA and
other companies explicitly seek to increase their profits by changing
the details of previously signed contracts. They do this by raising the
per diem rates the state pays for each prisoner or by requiring
occupancy rates of 90% or higher or the state pays for the empty cells
in order to reach the required level. Private prison companies cherry
pick their inmates and refuse to house more expensive prisoners. Many
contracts exclude those higher-cost prisoners, such as those in maximum
security, on death row, female prisoners or prisoners that have serious
medical or mental health conditions. Companies also make their costs
look lower by inflating the cost of public incarceration when making
their sales pitch. They can do this by leaving out overhead costs in
their prisons, not including costs the state has to pay in either public
or private scenarios in the private prison cost but keeping them in the
public prison cost calculation, and leaving out the additional costs of
overseeing and monitoring private prisons that the state must engage in
if it properly oversees its contractors.<br />
At its national convention last year, the <a href="http://www.aflcio.org/About/Exec-Council/Conventions/2013/Resolutions-and-Amendments/Resolution-17-Prisons-and-Profits-The-Big-Business-Behind-Mass-Incarceration" target="_self">AFL-CIO came out in opposition</a> to the privatization of prisons and the profit motive being used to increase incarceration.<br />

So. You smoke tobacco... I did for 38 years. Now my lungs are pretty much shot and my chances of ageing gracefully are gone. My choice, my consequence.<br />
They say hindsight is 20/20 but I sure wish I had never made the choice to start.<br />
<br />
If you smoke... QUIT NOW!.<br />
<br />
Easier said than done.. I know. Having tried everything under the sun with limited success, I understand the difficulty in kicking this useless habit.<br />
<br />
Truth is.. a lot of Big Businesses profit enormously from peoples use of tobacco products. <br />
<br />
They don't want you to quit. They PRETEND to want you to quit. They have all kind of "quit smoking" aids they will gladly sell you. They know their snake oil "quit" products are mostly worthless but it puts a few more fiat dollars in their bank accounts.<br />
<br />
- Big Medicine profits from your illness, i.e. cancer, emphysema.<br />
- Big Pharma profits from an endless list of drugs to keep you breathing till your cash runs out.<br />
- Big Tobacco profits from... well, all the various tobacco products they sell the addicted folks.<br />
- Their Government Buddies profit from passing laws to keep the above groups making obscene profits. Don't forget the taxes generated too.<br />
<br />
That brings me to the thing all these groups mentioned above hate.<br />
<br />
Personal vaporizers for nicotine replacement or the:<br />
<br />
P.ersonal<br />
E.lectronic<br />
N.icotine<br />
I.halation<br />
S.ystems<br />
<br />
Seriously though.. these devices have caused more people to drop tobacco than anything I have ever seen. It actually amazes me! So simple and so effective.<br />
<br />
Now these are NOT e-cigarettes!<br />

<br />
Personal vaporizers use a tank that holds a liquid containing pharmaceutical grade nicotine and a FDA approved flavoring. The carrier liquids for the nicotine and the flavoring all have a VERY good safety profile when ingested into human bodies. If you want to know more, go <a href="http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/" target="_blank">here..</a><br />
<br />
Now, inhaling anything except pure air is probably not a good idea but... the vaporized liquids used for "vaping" are a LOT less toxic than the over 4000 chemicals in your average tobacco smoke!<br />
The big thing to me is, there are no combustion products, no carbon monoxide, no smoke particles, and no tar.<br />
<br />
Remember, this is something to use if you are a tobacco smoker and want to quit. It is a "healthier" alternative. It is NOT something to start up just to be cool!<br />
<br />
I make no claims as to the safety or consequences of using Personal Vaporizers. I present this information for those seeking a viable method to break the bonds of tobacco slavery.<br />
<br />
And... possibly piss off some Big Business and Big Government somewhere as a bonus...<br />

<br />
Due to popular demand.... OK, not really demand, just a request from <a href="http://dublinsmickdotcom.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Dublinmick </a>to post something since it has been a while...<br />
<br />
Here is what’s on my mind today.<br />
<br />
ON LIFE.... The Grim Reaper decided it was time to pay me visit just to let me know about our mandatory future get together. The SOB made me take an ambulance ride and spend 6 days the hospital.<br />
It wasn't THE time yet, but ol' GR likes to make sure that I know he will make the collection at the appointed time.<br />
It's kind of weird... but no matter how many times he visits, I always get this panic and fear thing going. I know, we all got to die and you would think as we get older and lose more of our loved ones, the fear would diminish a little... but.. it don't!<br />
So much for that! Odds are good I'll be around for a while yet (grin).<br />
<br />
ON TODAY.... Well, it was a really nice, sunny, blue-skyed day here today. Everything is still recovering from a really wicked winter and looks like shit.. but, some heat, some sun, and some time, and the great outdoors will look at lot more appealing again.<br />
I was actually pretty amazed not to see any "chem-trailing" today! Usually, on the nice sunny blue sky days the bastards get out there and cover the blue with whatever it is that they are spraying.<br />
<br />
ON THE USA.... I really don't know what to think any more... is it all propaganda, is it really falling apart, is it just our collective imagination? (Seriously, I know it's pretty fucked up, everyone is just in denial)<br />
I have no answers as to fixing this mess we are in. I'm more than convinced that it is all playing out as per the Divine scheme set in motion at the beginning of creation.<br />
I see all morality being consumed by a lust to please ones most base desires... no thoughts about the consequences of our actions!<br />
I guess what I see... is that Love has taken leave of this world....<br />
Politically speaking... I really don't have any political feelings any more. I am convinced that other than the Love or Kindness I can show one of my fellow humans, not much of what I say, feel, or do will amount to a fart in a wind storm!<br />
<br />
ON GOD, THE SPIRIT, AND THE TRUTH..... As I age (damn, I hate ageing), I find myself thoroughly convinced that the purpose of this life is to get to know the Divine and to diligently seek his will in the brief flash of existence we are allowed to enjoy!<br />
I really don't have the desire to convert anyone to my way of thinking..... no one could convince me until I found it through my own searching. So please refrain from the "there is no God" bullshit... I'll just ignore you anyway.<br />
All I know, is that when the breath leaves this body... I'll still be here. Just different is all.<br />
I DO want to be on the right side of the Divine though... so I will keep on searching, and, yes, praying that my faith is strong and my heart is true....<br />
<br />
<br />
............ OK then, that is about all I got for now. You all be be good. And be kind to each other!!<br />
<br />
Peace,<br />

Well it is a new year - 2014!<br />
<br />
How many of you thought that we would make it this far? I
confess, I always wondered if I would; and now here we are, approaching
the middle of the lost decade.<br />
<br />
For those who are paying attention, the past few years have not been boring. Thus far, the journey has been interesting.<br />
<br />
For some of the players of <strong><em>Land-USA</em></strong>, there has been a visitation of drama.<br />

Killing ObamaCare</h1>
<strong>By</strong> <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/jay_clarke/"><strong>Jay Clarke</strong></a><br />
<div class="article_body">
The ObamaCare disaster is in its early
stages and already, Americans of every political stripe are in shock as
millions of insurance plans are canceled, premiums skyrocket, hours are
cut, jobs are lost, businesses are decimated, and our choices evaporate.
Even the left-wing media are beginning to realize that Obama's
signature domestic achievement is a catastrophe. The complete flop of
the http://www.healthcare.gov/website launch has deeply embarrassed
Barack Obama and the Democrat Party that created the ObamaCare monster
in the dead of night. Using shady parliamentary maneuvers and against
the will of the American people, they imposed and inflicted upon the
entire nation a bill they hadn't read and didn't understand. And now
their chickens are coming home to roost as government (and their own)
incompetence is put on full display. But it is possible that We the
People can stop this thing before it's too late and before Barack
Obama's socialist makeover of America becomes permanently entrenched. We
should stop feeding this beast and allow it to die a
slow, lingering.... <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/10/killing_obamacare.html" target="_blank">(Read Full Article)</a>

“It may already be too late to ‘fix’ Healthcare.gov. This thing had to
work almost flawlessly on Day One, because it had to rope in the young
suckers before they had a chance to think about what Obama was doing to
them, and talk about it on social media. Weeks of embarrassing tech
glitches are snark fodder for the online generation, which routinely
enjoys online services far more complex, and with vastly higher traffic
loads, than ObamaCare’s measly 19 million unique visitors in three
weeks. But even worse is the danger that they’ll share stories about the
sky-high premiums they’re expected to pay for coverage greatly inferior
to what they used to enjoy at work or school.<br />
