POPSBODACIOUS BODIES I JUST KNEW IT! LET'S FACE IT LADIES, WHAT COUNTS IS THE "WHOLE PACKAGE", THE HEART AND SOUL BEING MOST IMPORTANT. I'VE SEEN BODACIOUS WOMEN WHO ARE CLEANER, MORE METICULOUS AND WELL DRESSED THAN THE CREEP THEY ARE TRYING TO IMPRESS. WISE UP LADIES. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE AND PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THE NUMBER OF YOUNG WOMEN TODAY WHO HAVE NO SENSE OF SELF AND ARE BRAINWASHED INTO BELIEVING WHAT THEY SEE ON TV. THAT'S THE WORLD OF PLASTIC. THIS IS THE REAL WORLD.

POPSScientists put cocoa under the microscope 70% of the world's cocoa is grown in Africa, and it has remarkable resistance to drought and disease. I wonder however if the study will help the African farmers, or the chocolate manufacturers, due to the the tendency to pay a pittance for the beans, then mark up the price substantially after manufacture. Often the cacao industry is the equivalent of slavery.

POPSFood Stamp Use Rises Sharply We are aproaching a point where 1 out of every 10 Americans will be on food stamps. That will not include the number of poor who, for various reasons, don't recieve food stamps. 1 out of every 10. That's beginning to sound 3rd-world-like.

POPSThe Zone you garden in affects what you can grow -- but it's not the last word.. I knew it was more complicated. As it says for one example which makes it clear that there is more to it is: For example, the weather and plants in low-elevation, coastal Seattle are much different from those in high-elevation, inland Tucson, Arizona, even though they're in the same Zone (USDA Zone 8).There are several pages to this and it is quite interesting.: http://www.bhg.com/gardening/gardening-by-region/how-to-use-hardiness-zone-information/?page=1

POPS CRP, “Times Have Definitely Changed.” The CRP hit a zenith last summer with more than 400,000 farmers getting $1.8 billion for idling 36.8 million acres. When five million acres came up for renewal last fall, only half went back into the program. Ardell Magnusson, a Roseau, Minnesota farmer, is typical of those wanting out. “Another nine months of wheat at today’s prices and there will be political pressure on this program like you wouldn’t believe,” he said. “The pipeline for wheat is empty,” said Michael Kalupa, bakery owner in Tampa, Florida. Kalupa said the price of flour has doubled since October. Jay Truit of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association barked; “Do you think its right for you to pay so there’s more quail in Kansas?” Right now USDA is leaning towards raising the rent for idling needed farm ground. Farmers are finally learning that allowing government to dictate how they can use their land can have disastrous consequences.
