How to Make Ginger Ale and Why to Avoid Store-Bought Brands

Homemade Ginger Ale Recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup fresh ginger, peeled and diced

1/4 – 1/2 cup fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons sea salt

1/4 – 1/2 cup rapadura, sucanat or organic raw cane sugar

1/4 cup whey

2 quarts filtered water

 

Directions

Peel and chop ginger

Add other ingredients to 2 quart glass jar and add filtered water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What You Absolutely Don't Want To Do!

Just to be clear, for the lime juice, absolutely do NOT use this (or anything like it):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely use this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leave on counter for 2-4 days.

That's it!!

Seriously, how easy is that?

A Few More Things You Should Know

Because this is fermented it will probably be stronger than most ginger ales you've tried in the past.  If it's too strong, dilute it with some carbonated water.  The carbonated water will also add some additional fizz.

Also, most recipes I've seen call for 2-3 days of fermenting on your kitchen counter before transferring it to the fridge.  Be sure to taste it as you go.  Your taste buds will tell you when it's ready.

Mine tasted flat after two days and there was no sign of bubbling.  On day three it was slightly better.

On day four, it looked like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And it tasted great.

Debbie Stabenow Pledges To Oppose Monsanto Protection Act Extension Without Full Debate

....Monsanto is a global seed and herbicide company that specializes in genetically modified crops. The MPA prevents judges from enforcing injunctions on genetically modified seeds even if they are deemed unsafe. Monsanto has argued that it is unfair to single the company out in the nickname for the law, which is technically known as the Farmer Assurance Provision, when other major agribusiness players also support it.   (But they have over 50% market share, represented in over 70% of the world, minimally.....)

The measure was originally enacted into law by being inserted into an unrelated spending bill and is set to expire later this year. "The Monsanto Protection Act refers to a policy rider the House slipped into the recently passed continuing resolution and sent over to the Senate," Merkley noted on the floor. "Because of the time-urgent consideration of this must-pass legislation -- necessary to avert a government shutdown -- this policy rider slipped through without examination or debate."...

The Sailing Rules of Life
One of the greatest gifts my father ever gave his children was a passion for sailing, and, like many other families within the sport, it permeates our lives more than we realize. My father was never shy about using lessons learned on the racecourse when teaching us lessons in life. As a gift for him, my older sister, LeeAnn, recently compiled these lessons in a small spiral-bound book titled The Sailing Rules of Life. With the recent and heated debates circulating the sailing world about youth sailing, I felt sharing what sailing has done for me would bring some grassroots perspective back into the conversation. Simply put, it becomes impossible to ignore the inherent value in growing up as a sailor when you can take time to account for the valuable things sailing teaches us. To kick off the series, it is important to discuss the foundation through which each rule grows from.

The Corinthian Spirit is the code through which we judge our actions and gauge our decisions on the racecourse and in our personal lives. Sailing is a self-governed sport where each competitor must possess a high moral standard and personal code of ethics in order to have a fair race. The Corinthian spirit is a law greater than ourselves that maintains the underlying foundation for sailboat racing as well as the way in which competitors choose to live their lives.

Self-governing becomes the key word for me when I think about how this lesson transformed from a foundation of the sport of sailing into a foundation for my own personal life. I will never forget the first time I realized a fellow Opti-competitor cheated during some insignificant camp-run regatta. At 10 years old, I had never felt so disheartened. The realization that there is not always a referee to enforce fairness and how quickly the sport changes when rules are thrown out the window demonstrates the importance and the need for rules to maintain and progress the sport. In short, sailing and the Corinthian spirit teach a respect for rules, the law, sportsmanship, and a greater code of conduct.

Much as a sailboat racer continually strives to become a better sailor, I also strive to become a better person. Utilizing the guidelines of the Corinthian spirit, choosing to live out of respect for rules greater than oneself is the basis of self-improvement and the road to self-empowerment. As my father always told us, he would much rather see his children win the sportsmanship award than win the whole event, but it’s really cool when you win both. The drive to play hard and play fair extends to all aspects of life, so embodying the Corinthian spirit is an exhaustive life lesson and exercise.

Happy Elephant!

Tara Sophia Mohr: One Simple Question to Move From Anger to Peace

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tara-sophia-mohr/shift-perspective_b_3355489.html?ir=GPS%20for%20the%20Soul

One Simple Question to Move From Anger to Peace

This is a post about a *very* helpful little question.

The question is: "What are you making this mean?"

As we walk through our lives, lots of ouches happen:

He didn't call back.

She snapped at me.

They gave the job to someone else.

Those are the facts.

We think we are upset about these facts -- about what actually happened: that he didn't call back! That she snapped at me like that! That they gave the job to someone else.

Usually, we are not, in fact, upset about the facts. We are upset about our interpretations of the facts, and particularly, when we take these facts to mean we are being attacked or rejected in some way.

It goes like this...

Listen today and you'll see: It's amazing how much of human "conversation" amounts to people ranting their own made-up interpretations of the facts. "She said blah! And if she said blah, she obviously has no respect for me. I mean, if you respect another human being, you would have said x not y. I decided a long time ago, I'm not going to work with people like that."

Whoa. Maybe she said that because she was in a load of pain. Or because she has a habit of losing her temper and hasn't learned to manage her emotions well.

Maybe it has nothing to do with you.

It's what we add on to the facts that makes us angry, resentful, defensive, hopeless, or self-hating. Because we are hardwired to be hyper-alert for any dangers to our survival, what we add on tends to reflects our worst fears and our particular negative conditioning.

Let go of the interpretation, and what's left? Sometimes, sadness and grief about what happened, yes, but without the feeling of being attacked, threatened, disrespected, or rejected.

Here's a simple, easy way to suffer a lot less:

1. When something upsets you, separate the facts from your interpretation. The facts will always be simple and short, like a movie plot without characters' personalities, without mood music. The facts sounds like short, "See Jane run" sentences: I sent in the job application. They called me for an interview. I did the interview. They called and said the job went to another candidate.

2. Then ask yourself, "What am I making that mean?" What interpretation am I laying on to those facts? See the difference between the facts and the story/interpretation you've layered on top of them.

3. If your interpretation is leading you to suffering, leading you to beat yourself up, or demonize others, question it. Be willing to let it go. It's not the truth. It's just one possible interpretation.

And most important:

If your interpretation holds you as anything less than an expression of the divine, let that interpretation go. If your interpretation holds anyone in the situation as less than an expression of the divine, let it go.

If your interpretation neglects the truth that people hurt others only out of their own suffering, weave that truth right back in to the center of how you view the situation. Let the wisdom of compassion transform what you see.

What is one interpretation you are holding that causes you suffering? What wiser, more compassionate interpretation will you replace it with now?

Love,

Tara

Department Of Defense Is Spending Millions Trying To 3D-Print Weapons

SAN MATEO, Calif. (AP) -- Invisalign, a San Jose company, uses 3-D printing to make each mouthful of customized, transparent braces. Mackenzies Chocolates, a confectioner in Santa Cruz, uses a 3-D printer to pump out chocolate molds. And earlier this year, Cornell University researchers used a 3-D printer, along with injections of a special collagen gel, to create a human-shaped ear.

Once a science-fiction fantasy, three-dimensional printers are popping up everywhere from the desks of home hobbyists to Air Force drone research centers. The machines, generally the size of a microwave oven and costing $400 to more than $500,000, extrude layer upon layer of plastics or other materials, including metal, to create 3-D objects with moving parts.

Users are able to make just about anything they like: iPad stands, guitars, jewelry, even guns. But experts warn this cool innovation could soon turn controversial - because of safety concerns but also the potential for the technology to alter economies that rely on manufacturing.

"We believe that 3-D printing is fundamentally changing the manufacturing ecosystem in its entirety - how and where products are made and by whom," said Peter Weijmarshausen, CEO of New York-based Shapeways, an online company that makes and sells 3-D printed products designed by individuals. Products include a delicate, twig-like egg cup (cost: $8.10) and a lamp that looks like a nuclear mushroom cloud (cost: $1,388.66).

"We're on the verge of the next industrial revolution, no doubt about it," added Dartmouth College business professor Richard D'Aveni. "In 25 years, entire industries are going to disappear. Countries relying on mass manufacturing are going to find themselves with no revenues and no jobs."

On ground, sea or air, when parts break, new ones can be made on the spot, and even the tools to install them can be made, eliminating the need for staging parts in warehouses around the world, said Jeff DeGrange, vice president of Direct Digital Manufacturing at Stratasys Inc., currently the industry leader in a field of about 50 3-D printer companies.

"We're going to see innovation happening at a much higher rate, introduction of products at a much higher rate," said DeGrange. "We live in an on-demand world now, and we'll see production schedules are going to be greatly compressed."

Airplane mechanics could print a replacement part on the runway. A dishwasher repairman could make a new gasket in his service truck. A surgeon could print a knee implant custom-designed to fit a patient's body.

But the military, D'Aveni said, is likely to be among the first major users of 3-D printers, because of the urgency of warfare.

"Imagine a soldier on a firebase in the mountains of Afghanistan. A squad is attacked by insurgents. The ammunition starts to run out. Is it worth waiting hours and risking the lives of helicopter pilots to drop it near you, or is it worth a more expensive system that can manufacture weapons and ammunition on the spot?" he said.

In the past two years, the U.S. Defense Department has spent more than $2 million on 3-D printers, supplies and upkeep, according to federal contract records. Their uses range from medical research to weapons development. In addition, the Obama administration has launched a $30 million pilot program that includes researching how to use 3-D printing to build weapons parts.

NASA is also wading into this arena, spending $500,000 in the past two years on 3-D printing. Its Lunar Science Institute has published descriptions of how it is exploring the possibility of using the printers to build everything from spacecraft parts while in orbit to a lunar base.

While the U.S. is pursuing the military advantages of 3-D printing, it's also dealing with the potential dangers of the technology. On May 9, the State Department ordered a group to take down online blueprints for a 3-D printable handgun, and federal lawmakers and some state legislatures are contemplating proposals to restrict posting weapons plans in the future.

Since 2007, when these printers first entered the mainstream marketplace, sales have grown by 7.2 percent each year, according to IBIS World, a company that tracks the industry. Sales are projected to jump from about $1.7 billion in 2011 to $3.7 billion in 2015.

Cliff Waldman, a senior economist at the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation, a group that promotes the role of manufacturing in global economies, said it's still too soon to know exactly what impact this 3-D technology could have on more traditional manufacturing. However, he doesn't envision it changing the "fundamental shape" of manufacturing, as others suggest.

"I think 3-D has the capacity to impact both products and processes," he said. "I am not ready to say that it is completely disruptive, however. It might be in a few narrow industries."

Starting in June, office supply chain Staples plans to be the first major retailer to supply 3-D printers with "the Cube," a plug-in device that uses 16 colors and costs $1,299. And in September the smallest and cheapest 3-D printer on the market - a printing pen priced from $50 - is due to start shipping. Similar to a glue gun, the 3Doodler plugs into the wall and is filled with cylinders of plastic that come out of a 518-degree Fahrenheit tip. Once the plastic leaves the pen it cools and hardens.

Makers Peter Dilworth, an inventor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Maxwell Bogue, a toy maker, first pitched their pens earlier this year on a website for startup projects. They sought $30,000 and wound up collecting $2.3 million from more than 26,000 investors, who each got one of the 3-D pens. Four artists who teamed up with the men have used the pens to make a mini Eiffel Tower, earrings and butterfly pendants.

Is GMO Farming Poisoning The World's Drinking Water?

Monsanto's Herbicide Linked To Groundwater Contamination

In a groundbreaking study published in the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry last year, evidence surfaced that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the Monsanto's patented herbicide Roundup, is flowing freely into the groundwater in areas where it is being applied.¹ The researchers found that 41% of the 140 groundwater samples taken from Catalonia Spain, had levels beyond the limit of quantification – indicating that, despite the manufacturer's claims, glyphosate herbicide does not break down rapidly in the environment, and is accumulating there in concerning quantities.

Why Is Groundwater Contamination An Important Finding?

Groundwater is water located beneath the ground surface, that supplies aquifers, wells and springs.  If a chemical like glyphosate is mobile enough to get into the groundwater and is intrinsically resistant to being biodegraded (after all, it is being used to kill/degrade living things – not the other way around), significant environmental exposures to humans using the water are inevitable. After all, according to the USGS, 88,000 tons were used in the US in 2007 alone.

Keep in mind that glyphosate is considered by the EPA as a Class III toxic substance, fatal to an adult at 30 grams, and has been linked to over 20 adverse health effects in the peer-reviewed, biomedical literature.

This groundwater contamination study adds to another highly concerning finding from March, 2011, published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, where researchers found the chemical in 60-100% of all air and rain samples tested, indicating that glyphosate pollution and exposure is now omnipresent in the US. When simply breathing makes you susceptible to glyphosate exposure, we know we are dealing with a problem of unprecedented scale.

In fact, glyphosate's broad spectrum toxicity has been identified to be one potential cause for the disturbing loss of indispensable food-starter bacteria from soils and cultured foods within certain regions of the world, indicating that GMO farming may be depleting the microbial biodiversity of the soil, and ultimately its ability to remain fertile.

Who Is Responsible For The Groundwater Contamination? 

Monsanto is a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation, presently dominating the global genetically engineered seed market, with 90% market share in the US alone. It is also the world's largest producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as "Roundup," among other brand names.  If you are eating corn and soy, or any of their ten thousand plus byproducts – and it does not have a USDA organic logo – you are getting the Monsanto "double whammy": the genetic modification (GM) of your health (and gene expression) that follows the consumption of GM food (because we are – literally – what we eat), and ceaseless chemical exposure to glyphosate, as all Monsanto-engineered foods have been designed to be glyphosate-resistant, and therefore are saturated with it.

Military aircraft spraying Agent Orange

Is Monsanto's Herbicide A New Agent Orange?

Roundup is not Monsanto's first entry into the systemic herbicide market. Monsanto admits it manufactured the herbicide/defoliant Agent Orange from 1965 to 1969, which Vietnam estimated killed and maimed 400,000 people and resulted in the 500,000 children being born with birth defects.

The true devastation caused by Agent Orange was covered up for many years. We may find that Monsanto's Roundup, and its primary active ingredient glyphosate, may be causing a similar degree of devastation to both environmental and human health under the lidless, though not very watchful eye (as far as business interests are concerned), of our regulatory agencies.

Indeed, glyphosate is a powerful endocrine disrupter. Exceedingly small amounts are capable of mimicking and/or disrupting hormonal pathways, cell receptor sites and signaling. Research culled from The National Library of Medicine links it to 17 adverse pharmacological actions, including carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, neurotoxicty, hepatoxicity, and nephrotoxicity.

But what is most disturbing, and which may make its comparison to Agent Orange all the more appropriate, is its potential teratrogenicity, i.e. ability to cause fetal malformations.

A 2003 study of pregnant, glyphosate/Roundup-exposed rats indicated the formulation exhibited significant tetragenicity. The researchers commented: "We may conclude that glyphosate-Roundup is toxic to the dams and induces developmental retardation of the fetal skeleton."²

A study published in 2004 revealed that glyphosate exhibits endocrine-disruptive and embryotoxic effects. Researchers found the chemical alters the expression of the enzyme aromatase in both fetal and placental cells and tissue -- changes which indicate it may contribute to birth defects and abnormal fetal development.³

Another study published in 2009 showed that glyphosate formulations induce cell death and necrosis in human umbilicial, embryonic and placental cells.⁴

Now that glyphosate has been found in the majority of air and rain samples tested in the US, and is now likely contaminating our wells, springs and aquifers, exposure is not only likely, its inevitable -- the difference being only a matter of degree.

Eating, Breathing, Drinking ... Dying?

The precautionary principle, which is not employed here in the US, would require that if a company produces a novel chemical compound like glyphosate, and would like to use it commercially, it would have to prove its safety to humans before it is released into the environment.

Animal and cell research clearly shows glyphosate is harmful, but because we use a "weight of evidence standard" in this country, the burden of proof that it is harmful to humans is on those being exposed to it.

Had Monsanto been required to prove its safety in humans, it is doubtful they would have been able to. There was already enough damning animal research available, and proving a toxic chemical in human studies would require harming them, which is unethical.

This is why the precautionary principle is so powerful and necessary to protect us from corporations like Monsanto. We would not be eating, drinking and breathing glyphosate today, if it had been employed earlier. Instead, chemical companies use animal experiments to determine a LD50 (the dose at which 50% of the animals die), from which an "acceptable level of harm" is extrapolated and applied to humans, in what is called a toxicological risk assessment.

An acceptable level of harm? This way of thinking is abusive, especially when applied to the unborn and infants.

Will it take additional decades of cumulative "acceptable" exposures, and thousands of "mysterious" miscarriages, birth defects, and developmental problems for us to understand how serious the problem is? Or, should we listen to Monsanto, their scientists, and the governmental regulatory agencies that they populate with elected and unelected officials on their payroll, who say it is relatively harmless?

Act Now! Support The California Ballot Initiative

Learn about the California ballot initiative that will force GMO foods to be labeled. This is the front line of the struggle against the continued assault on human and environmental health by corporations like Monsanto.

Microchip-Laden Drugs Given FDA Approval | GreenMedInfo | Blog Entry

Microchip-Laden Drugs Given FDA Approval

Rumors regarding the development of a 'digital pill' with a microchip inside have been circulating for some time, but today, the FDA actually green lighted the product.

The company, Proteus Digital Health, gained FDA approval for its 1 square millimeter device (the size of a grain of sand), which it believes will "shift the care paradigm" into an era of digital medicine.

According to Proteus Digital Health's website:

Digital Medicines are the same pharmaceuticals you take today, with one small change: each pill also contains a tiny sensor that can communicate, via our digital health feedback system, vital information about your medication-taking behaviors and how your body is responding.

The company added "As a result, you can be sure you're taking your medicines as prescribed, while at the same time receiving unprecedented feedback on your physical response to treatment."

The aim of the "ingestible sensor" is to electronically verify patient compliance in taking the medication.  Proteus Digital Health estimates that over 50% of patients do not get the full benefit from the pharmaceuticals they take because of taking the wrong dose or taking the medication inconsistently.

There are huge sums of money at stake in getting people to take their drugs as prescribed. In a 2008 article published in the drug industry marketing journal Pharma Marketing News titled "Moving The Needle on Adherence: Highlights from the 7th Annual Patient Compliance, Adherence and Persistency," ‎it was estimated that an 18% improvement in compliance would translate into increased revenues of approximately $8000 per patient a year.

Here is how the technology intends to work:

The Proteus ingestible sensor can be integrated into an inert pill or other ingested products, such as pharmaceuticals. Once the ingestible sensor reaches the stomach, it is powered by contact with stomach fluid and communicates a unique signal that determines identity and timing of ingestion. This information is transferred through the user's body tissue to a patch worn on the skin that detects the signal and marks the precise time an ingestible sensor has been taken. Additional physiologic and behavioral metrics collected by the patch include heart rate, body position and activity. The patch relays information to a mobile phone application. With the patient's consent, the information is accessible by caregivers and clinicians, helping individuals to develop and sustain healthy habits, families to make better health choices, and clinicians to provide more effective, data-driven care.

What are the unintended, adverse health effects of this technology? Has it been sufficiently safety-tested? These are questions that remain largely unanswered, but have already been raised in connection with other proposed RFID technologies intended to be implanted within the human body.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has recently come under criticism for their financial support of GMO agriculture, 'edible' and 'flying' vaccines, pesticide-laden traditional scarves, and other questionable technological interventions ostensibly to reduce suffering, are also prominently figured partners on the Proteus Digital Health website.

The European Union was the first to approve Proteus' system device in 2010, indicating the market for the technology is global.
