...will never eat an apple with a waxy gloss that is shinier than my coffee table. I grow organic veggies in the summer and supplement those by buying organic vegetables from local farmers' markets. In northern Illinois, there's very little local fruit available that has not been sprayed with pesticides. So all winter I buy organic fruit; sometimes in the summer the pesticide-free apples on my neighbor's tree are the only local ones available. Lori Indovina-Valus, McHenry...
...some life into their tired characters, though such moments are few and far between. All is not lost, though. The violence that one would expect in a film like this is honest and brutal, just like the war itself. Handsome lensing shows off the shot-on-location countryside of Northern Ireland. What advice can the jury at Cannes use this year, when many films will once again compete for the distinctive Palme d’Or? Here’s what I’d say: Look for a film that offers some humanity. The by-the-numbers...
...Certainly, McCain's operation has an institutional feel, for better or worse. Whereas he ran his 2000 campaign from shabby offices with a single toilet, McCain 2.0 is housed on the 13th floor (superstitiously identified by the building as the "M" floor) of a soulless office high-rise in northern Virginia. McCain's 2000 campaign was a free-for-all, but his 2008 operation is more conventional, with far more hands on the wheel...
...Albert Straus, owner of the Straus Family Creamery in the small northern California town of Marshall, decided to test the feed that he gives his 1,600 cows last year and was alarmed to find that nearly 6% of the organic corn feed he received from suppliers was "contaminated" by genetically modified (GM) organisms. Organic food is, by definition, supposed to be free of genetically modified material, and organic crops are required to be isolated from other crops. But as GM crops become more prevalent, there is little that an organic farmer can do to prevent a speck...
...Ironically, one theoretical outcome of global warming entails the cooling of atmospheric temperature in the northern hemisphere. This idea was taken to an epic extreme in the film “The Day After Tomorrow,” which saw a shivering Jake Gyllenhaal racing against time through the frozen streets of Manhattan. The theory has its roots in a process known as the thermohaline circulation, by which ocean currents move heat from the equator to the northern regions of the globe. If polar ice caps were to melt and add water to the Atlantic, then this circulation of heat...
