  Popping corn

  I have two heirloom corn-poppers:  one for fireplace popping, the other for stove-top use. In each I follow a 3-to-1 ratio of kernels to oil, always heating the oil to a temperature that pops a few test kernels.

  The further secret is to use a good dose of salt AND a great sprinkling of nutritional yeast.

  Sonar

  This is a huge setback for environmental protection.Given the accounts of whales that went to the beach and of others in grave danger because of the US'S  manio to test audio systems, it would seem obvious that USH could change the sites of its testing so that the lives of whales weren't endangerd as they are.On Navy can use sonar despite risk of whale harm, says Supreme Court posted 11 months, 3 weeks ago 16 Responses

  Sonar

  I'm with Mellotron! No human would survive such an assault. What makes the Navy think they must conduct their training in the vicinity of whale trajectories, especially after they have admitted that their projected sound levels (and praise to the reporters who commented on sound amplitudes instead of logarithmic measures)?On Navy can use sonar despite risk of whale harm, says Supreme Court posted 12 months ago 16 Responses

  Vital issue ignored..

  Stripped of the flowery elocution:
  We humans, those of us who are, are
  in fact responsible for the changes
  we observe in the global climate.

  We need to get, as a '60's formulation
  had it, "on the stick".
