Here is a pic of where it snapped my picture. I can’t quite tell how close it was that it clocked me, but that’s when it took the picture. I assume it needed 10s of feet to gauge my speed.

The kids band, The Not It’s have a new CD coming out, and on it is a song about Full Tilt Ice Cream. They have been nice enough to offer a free download of this song. We have a direct link to it on our FB page. https://www.facebook.com/fulltilticecreams

Just in from AARF. Kismet is recovering well from his hip surgery, fungal infection, skin mites, urinary tract infection, and of course, is no longer starving.

A big thank you to all that donated to his care; to his rescuers; and to AARF for taking him in.

I have four dropcams and highly recommend them: https://www.dropcam.com/

So easy that even I could set them up. Bought them on Amazon.com when they had a special for $99.00 apiece. You can set up alerts to your phone, email or both.

Furry Faces Foundation is hosting a ‘Heels For Hounds’ silent auction and wine tasting event in late March 2013/early April. In order to firm up the event date, we need at least 200 pairs of gently, or never worn, women’s shoes as we want to make sure there is a wide selection of shoes.

Do you have shoes you have barely worn, that you are willingly to donate? Just think, if you donate a pair, it will leave room in your closet to purchase a new pair!

Our business friends want to make it easy for you to support so just stop by one of their stores and drop off your shoes.

Ola Salon: 2942 Avalon Way SW

Clementine Shoes: 4447 California Ave SW

I just found this on Facebook:

Kismet needs our help! He was found by a family near Palm Desert on I-5 when they were driving back to Tacoma. They saved him and brought him home. He has a severe skin infection, urinary tract infection and was also limping. We had him brought into our Vet and it was found he has a broken leg. This poor guy has been through so much, but is still very sweet, loving and deserving of a fresh start. His surgery will cost $1300 and we can’t afford it right now. Would you please consider donating to help Kismet get healthy again? You can either donate through WePay via this link, or call in donations straight to our Vet. If you want to donate directly to the vet, call them at 206-242-8338 and say you’d like to put it on AARF’s account for Kismet. Thank you so much for your help! https://www.wepay.com/donations/kismet-s-surgery

Here’s the story. Not an emergency, in the end, although the mystery is still not completely solved despite two police conversations, one Coast Guard conversation, and one exchange with the fab folks at Beach Drive Blog:

redblack, you’re a model citizen.

No really. If I were king, I would name you Minister of Citizenship or something.

I’m still deciding what I’d call Jo.

Er . . . I mean what I’d name Jo.

 

So, why do I say you’re a model citizen? Because not only do you talk right, you LIVE right. Yeah. You really get the connection between corporate evil and individual evil, and you live your life mindfully, so as to minimize your part in either one.

I can’t say that I wish everyone was just like you. But I do wish the average person was MORE like you. Because if they were, there would be a lot less evil afoot in the world today.

 

 

 

 

OK Ready for the punchline?

Sorry. No punchline.

[DBP]

OK meg . . . looks like you were right and I was wrong.

The Princeton-led HFCS study you cited was compelling. Based on that data, I’d agree that HFCS needs to be regulated in the short term and banned in the long term — provided the study results are repeatable.

You know, it’s a weird thing about HFCS. Why did they even start using that stuff in the first place? What was wrong with sugar?

DBP#23,

‘nearly’ identical? OK, in the laboratory under a microscope. But where it matters – in the body – our biochemical processes know the difference. True, the microscope only sees a slight difference, but the body uses its own primal lens. So, my response to the shrug of ‘nearly identical’ is: What are we doing here? Are we sketching these sugars, or metabolizing them?

In post #21 above, the first video (StBT) goes through some of the biochemical detail of sucrose/fructose/glucose metabolism, and what happens to the liver and within cells. Well worth the 1-1/2 hour watch. I had to watch more than once to understand some of it.

Regarding the HFCS tax, tho. I think we already have enough, accumulated and recent, non-industry-supported studies and research to implicate HFCS as Junk substance, harmful to health. So, if HFCS must persist in the food environment, then I say tax the hell out of it.

If we want to spread the fairness & also tax other so-called junk food (salt, trans-fats, saturated fat) those substances should undergo their own rigorous non-industry supported studies and if enough solid research emerges to show any of these significantly harmful to human health, then tax it, too.

Key to the kind of junk food research needed are: 1) keeping the industry-sponsor industry-interests out of the research and publications, 2) developing high-quality tests and using proven scientific methodologies so the results can withstand professional scientific scrutiny. I think the problems in getting that kind of research done are: 1) Good research, esp. on human populations, costs LOTS and LOTS of $$ and the question is “Who’s gonna benefit, therefore who’s gonna fund it?”, 2) US govt. constantly turns to the industry ‘experts’ for scientific evidence, 3) not to speak of the industry/government revolving door………Got Bias?

Here’s more on this:

I know something is wrong with this picture. But what is it?

Hey . . . wait a minute! The steering wheel’s not supposed to be on that side!

[DBP]

The MJ article noted that HFCS was chemically nearly identical to sugar. I might add that the authors weren’t singling out any one sweetener for blame. Rather, they seemed to think that all sweeteners were bad. Except artificial ones. (!)

I will readily admit that there’s a problem with our consumption levels of sweets and fatty foods. I also agree that we should be doing more about the problem. (And when I say “we” I mean both government and individuals.) However, I don’t think it’s right to put all the blame for obesity on fat and sugar, because if you do that, you’re minimizing the personal attitudes and behaviors that also contribute so heavily (!) to the problem. As I see it, blaming the food lets individuals off the hook for their own bad food choices.

(Ptweeet! Hey, look hoop! I’m agreeing with you.)

Although I don’t think taxing food is the right way to go, I’d gladly compromise on that, with some conditions (see below).

**********************

Anyway, here’s what I propose . . .

► Education.  Government, schools, and health advocacy groups should ramp up education around healthy eating and exercise. Schools can take the added step (many already have) of reducing or banning sales of high-fat/sugar snacks on campus.

► Taxation.  If people feel that “unhealthy” food should be taxed, so be it. But let’s not single out sugar or HFCS, because that’s misleading. Let all kinds of unhealthy foods be taxed, and let the taxes be dedicated to evidence-based programs aimed at reducing consumption and encouraging healthy lifestyles.

► Behavior modification.  As hooper and others have pointed out, food stamp usage is at an all-time high. Although this is bad in some ways, in other ways it’s good. We can use food stamps as a way to encourage Americans to eat healthier, by taking certain foods (soda, sugary or salty snacks) off the list of buyable items. Now I know that some people will whine about this, calling it “patronizing,” but I’m ok with that. I’m willing to be people’s daddy. Just not their sugar daddy.

**********************

I’ve gotta tell you that I’m chary – not just wary, I say, but chary – of any so-called sin tax whose proceeds aren’t devoted entirely to eliminating the sin in question. Take tobacco taxes, por ejemplo. With every tobacco-tax dollar that gets dumped into the general fund, we are encouraging the government to become addicted to the very sin we are trying to eliminate in the citizenry. And I gotta tell you that when it comes to sin . . . I’m agin’.
