As federal policy makers decide on rules for fracking on public lands, a new report calculates the toll of this dirty drilling on our environment, including 280 billion gallons of toxic wastewater generated by fracking in 2012—enough to flood all of Washington, DC, in a 22-foot deep toxic lagoon. The Environment America Research & Policy Center report, Fracking by the Numbers, is the first to measure the damaging footprint of fracking to date.   Continue reading “Groundbreaking Report Calculates Damage Done by Fracking”

In 1950, there were 2.5 billion humans. Today there are just over 7 billion. In another 30 years, according to U.S. Census Bureau projections, there will be more than 9 billion.

Brad Lyon has a doctoral degree in mathematics and does software development. He wanted to make those numbers visual. Last year he and designer Bill Snebold made a hugely popular interactive simulation map of births and deaths in the U.S. alone—the population of which is on pace to increase 44 percent by 2050. Now, Lyon takes on the world.   Continue reading “A Real-Time Map of Births and Deaths”

learned helplessnessThe Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

I have come to believe that America is poised to experience food riots. I have further come to believe that these food riots will precede riots which will likely occur when we have a banking holiday imposed on the American people. Congress is complicit with the Obama administration in cutting food stamp benefits for 50 million Americans with virtually no warning. On the surface this is reckless. The government is reducing life-sustaining benefits for a population which is conditioned to not seek out critical solutions to their daily problems.   Continue reading “Obama’s Hunger Games Is a Prelude to Martial Law”

ATT000012012 What’s the Real Truth?

The extraordinary scene was captured by photography student Casey Gutteridge at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire. The 19-year-old, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, who was photographing the leopard for a course project, was astounded By the mouse’s behaviour.
He said: ‘I have no idea where the mouse came from – he just appeared in the enclosure after the keeper had dropped in the meat for the leopard. He didn’t take any notice of the leopard, just went straight over to the meat and started feeding himself.’   Continue reading “One Hungry Little Mouse!”

Sandy Hook Truth, January 10, 2013

I’ve been looking at the property records on Yogananda Street where Nancy Lanza reportedly lived with Adam, 36 Yogananda to be exact.  I noticed some very interesting things while going through these records.  First, Peter Lanza not only owned 36 Yogananda, he also owned 13 Yogananda.  There is no record for 13 on the Newtown property records so I’m unable to see the sale dates of that property but the address shows up in People Finders.   Continue reading “Interesting Property Records – Yogananda Street”

Karl Denninger Says Obama Care is Doomed to FailureUSA Watchdog – by Greg Hunter

Analyst/trader Karl Denninger says Obama Care is doomed to failure because of pre-existing conditions of many signing up for coverage.  Denninger explains, “If you are an insurance company and you only sell insurance to those who have already lit their house on fire, you’re not going to be in business very long.  You have to have people who buy insurance who are not likely to have fires.”     Continue reading “Obama Care Will Crash If Healthy Don’t Enroll-Karl Denninger”

natural homemade healthy coconut shampoo kid approved How to Make Natural Shampoo [Easy Recipe]Wellness Mama – by Katie

I’ve made natural alternatives to most of our household products and toiletry product, but shampoo was by far the toughest.

I tried the “no-poo” method, which has great results for some, but did not work on me at all (and I have some terrible Christmas pictures to prove it!). If you have coarse hair that isn’t naturally oily, this method may be great for you! I have baby-fine hair and it didn’t work for me.   Continue reading “How to Make Natural Shampoo [Easy Recipe]”

The Atlantic – by MEGAN GARBER

Toyota has announced that it is recalling 870,000 of its vehicles, among them Camrys, Venzas, Avalons, and hybrids with owners spread across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and 16 other countries. Airbags, it seems, have been spontaneously deploying on some of those vehicles across makes and model years—a state of affairs that can range from the merely annoying to the legitimately life-threatening. Power steering, even more ominously, may also be affected. As may cars’ warning lights.   Continue reading “Toyota Is Recalling More Than 800,000 Cars Because of Spiders”
