There seems to be a pattern forming between Earthquakes and the shifting of the Polar Axis. Both of these have been on the radar of many of us for some time, but it wasn't until videos started appearing on YouTube that people began to realize the correlation of the two events.

Don't take a gun to a knife fight - take a baseball bat instead

I know this will be an uncomfortable topic for many, but we have to look at things like this to ensure that we are actually prepared. No Prepper likes to think of actually having to defend his loved ones. We try to prepare for it, but we try not to dwell on the subject. The last thing any of us desire is confrontation. But if it comes to you - are you prepared to respond?

World’s First Test-Tube Hamburger to Be Served in 2012

So how, exactly, does one go about creating a test tube burger? First, bovine stem cells are grown in a vat and transformed into thousands of layers of beef muscle cells. The thin layers are then minced and mixed with animal fat, also lab-grown, to form a ball of meat — or something like it. (read more...)

I think this takes the phrase "Mystery Meat" to a whole new level. What ever happened to "Dolly" the Sheep? Did they decide to skip that step and go straight to the Lamb Chops? Wow! This makes TVP sound so much better. I think what they'll really be breeding is a new generation of Vegetarians.

Project Growmore

If you've been to the Growmore Hydroponics web page, you may have noticed that we are working on a new project. Normally, a project of this type starts out with a need, a concept, then a grant or funding of some sort.

The need is present and increasing each day. We have the concept, but there is much work to do in order to insure an easy to build and to use system. But we don't have time to wait for grants. Our new system is needed now.

Life has not always been a piece of cake for me, and I know what it's like to go a few days without food, but I've never experienced starvation. Right now, the people of Africa are starving. Long seasons of no rain has left it's toll on the scarcity of food crops. It's appalling to learn that one sixth of the world’s population goes to bed hungry. And each year, 1 million children die from severe acute malnutrition.
