			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I started cleaning my ceilings and every wall by hand from ladders and scaffolding ohhhhh.... a few months ago. I'm coming in for a close on this adventure.... thank God!!! Anywhoooo.... before I started cleaning the walls I figured I'd better get all our ducts cleaned so there'd be no spreading around mold spores and the like. I'm the typical neat freak they're describing at their webpage so I slapped down $$$ to rid myself of airborne atrocities. I've got my video tape here to prove how dirty some of my ducts were but.... we won't go into how much it cost me to have this handy dandy video of areas I could have reached myself with the attachments to my own vacuum cleaner. ;) Now I know exactly why they're saying &quot;mold is gold&quot;..... they hit the jack pot when I called and I soooooo hate being taken for a ride. I checked up on almost everything at this webpage and by gosh by golly.... the guy's right. If you're thinking about paying a professional to clean out the ducts in your home to get rid of all the ickies and nasties floating around..... read what's here, <a href="http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fduct-cleaning.biz%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Editorial: Duct Cleaning - A four billion dollar farce?</a> before you rob yourself of perfectly good money that could be used to buy things like ohhhhhhh..... native plants and veggie seeds!!!! Oh man oh man..... when I found that web page I had a REAL hard time showing it to my husband since he kept telling me he didn't think we needed to spend that kind of money since we were changing fliters every month.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font face="Verdana">I'm ordering straight runs for spring and building my own chicken coop is around the corner the end of October soooooooooo…. I started looking for DIYs on how to kill and defeather a chicken. I don’t want to keep more than 10 egg layers and no roosters so that means we’re going to butcher the rest for our freezer. Pillsbury said he’d buy me a chicken cone for Mother’s Day if I could “process” one myself. Me…. I don’t know I can but…. I’ll have to give it the ‘ole college try. I watched some You Tubes and had some problems watching them but.... I made it through. I woulda posted the links to the best YouTubes I found but…. figured it wasn’t a good idea. I have a back up plan if I can’t kill food…. there’s a place called Hackers operating out of an old dry cleaning building that has a drive up window where you pass your chickens in and they pass em back out through the window plucked and wrapped in white freezer paper. The problem is the cost of gas to get there and $2 they charge per bird. I found some really good step by steps on “homestead poultry butchering”….. BEWARE…. photos show the butchering process so don’t be clicking if you’ve got a weak stomach,  <a href="http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.backyardchickens.com%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fid%3D109583" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">BackYardChickens Forum / Killing, Plucking, Eviscerating, &amp; Cutting Up Your Chicken - Graphic!</a> and <a href="http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freetimesw.com%2Fblueoakranch%2Fpasturedpoultry%2Fturkeyprocessing.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">processingphotos</a>, and <a href="http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.themodernhomestead.us%2Farticle%2FButchering-Killing.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Homestead Poultry Butchering: Killing the Bird</a>. One more, <a href="http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.backwoodshome.com%2Farticles2%2Fgrim79.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">How to butcher a chicken in 20 minutes or less by Dr. Roger W. Grim, D.C. Issue #79</a>. There’s folk out there doing this from all walks of life. I have a neighbor who said he’d teach me so here’s hoping he doesn’t end up picking me up off the ground during my “lesson”. Anyone doing their own butchering? Be honest.... if you're using a &quot;back up&quot; plan that's fine by me. If you're butchering your own chickens from start to finish.... do you ever get over the “hump” killing your food? I’m gonna have all my chickens from chicks and that’s making me nervous. I can’t have 50 pet chickens so I will have to take care of them myself or go to plan B.  </font></div>

				It's weird. Today I have no appetite at all, and I am seriously considering never eating again, but I have been thinking about nothing but food all day and how we don't think enough about where our food comes from. I mean really comes from. Yesterday when I went home I had a big problem with my wife's maggotometer.<br />
 <br />
It's not really called a maggotometer. I think it's a Biopod or something. She paid several hundred bucks for it. It's for her backyard chickens. You put garbage in it, and, lo' and behold, it grows maggots. Some French genius invented it. I guess I should call it a maggoteur...

				USA: A Federal Ban<br />
 <br />
On March 13, 2009, House and Senate leaders introduced legislation laying the groundwork for a federal ban on BPA in all food and beverage containers. The bills were introduced by Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). If passed, the bills would greatly limit the chemical from products for young children. The move came a day after Sunoco, a Gas and chemical company, announced that they will not sell BPA to companies for use in food and water containers for children younger than 3.<br />
 <br />
Canada<br />
 <br />
In October 2008, Canada enacted a ban of BPA in baby bottles, becoming the first Country to do so...

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Making any reader wonder if this goes on all the time, a tiger cub was found heavily drugged and in a suitcase in an airport. The woman, a 31 year old Thai, has been arrested and faces a possible jail sentence for wildlife trafficking. Video and article:<br />

&quot;If people are trying to smuggle live tigers in their check-in luggage, they obviously think wildlife smuggling is something easy to get away with and do not fear reprimand,&quot; he said.<br />
&quot;Only sustained pressure on wildlife traffickers and serious penalties can change that.&quot;</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>While reading <u>Rewilding the World</u> by Kristen Hersey this past summer, I made note of the fact that the very first issue addressed was the how the coyote helps preserve the environment by feeding avidly upon house cats.<br />
<br />
This article from today's news pursues the issue further. Called &quot;That Killer on the Couch&quot; it asserts that the most danger for birds comes from the almost ubiquitous house cat. It compares them to other dangers like wind turbines, etc.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.telegraph.co.uk%2Ffinance%2Fianmcowie%2F100007459%2Fbeware-the-killer-on-the-couch%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Beware the killer on the couch &#8211; Telegraph Blogs</a><br />
<br />
<br />
&quot;Cruelty to cats shocked a nation of animal lovers this week when Mary Bale was caught on CCTV dropping Darryl Mann&#8217;s pet into a wheelie bin. But our feline friends can also be pretty beastly to other creatures, as environmental experts at WHEB Asset Management Sustainability Fund point out.<br />
These investors in various forms of &#8216;green energy&#8217; have forwarded American research which suggests that cats kill a lot more birds than other threats to birdlife such as cars, pesticides or much-reviled wind farms.&quot;</div>

				Ben &amp; Jerry's gets all their milk from dairies that have pledged not to inject their cows with genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH). Why, then, can't Haagen Dazs, Breyers and Baskin-Robbins do the same? <br />
 <br />
Starbucks now guarantees that all their milk, cream and other dairy products are rBGH-free. So do Yoplait and Dannon yogurts, Tillamook cheese, Chipotle restaurants, and many others. But ice cream giants Haagen Dazs, Breyers and Baskin-Robbins continue to use milk from cows injected with rBGH, a hormone that's been banned in Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Australia and all 27 nations of the European Union. As if to add insult to injury, Haagen Dazs and Breyers have the audacity to tell us, right on the label, that their ice cream is &quot; All Natural.&quot;<br />
 <br />
We have Monsanto to thank for rBGH. Monsanto developed the artificial hormone and marketed it aggressively for years, before selling it in 2008 to Elanco, a division of the Eli Lilly drug company. Of course, Monsanto (and now Elanco) wants us to think the hormone is in every way completely satisfactory and safe. Monsanto's party line has consistently been that there is &quot;no significant difference&quot; in the milk derived from cows who have been dosed with the hormone compared to...

				The biotech giant has genetically engineered a type of soybean that contains a plant-based version of omega-3, the fatty acid that has been shown to improve cardiovascular health. Omega-3 is typically found in seafood; hence, all those recommendations to eat more fish.<br />
 <br />
But what if you could ditch the salmon fillet and get your dose of omega-3 from, say, sausage instead?<br />
 <br />
That's exactly what Monsanto had in mind when it began replacing regular soybean feed with its omega-3 enhanced soybeans and feeding it to livestock. The result? Meat that contained higher levels of omega-3. <br />
 <br />
So the company did what any self-respecting multinational corporation would do: it filed patents on the &quot;derived benefits&quot; of feeding animals its proprietary product...
