Avatar: The Last Airbender – Balance and Moral Courage. It may seem excessive to devote an entire write-up to a single character, but I believe Aang, the chief protagonist of Avatar: The Last Airbender, warrants such an exploration.
In an age of brooding, melodramatic, and angst-filled heroes, Aang provides a refreshing counterexample to what it means to be an emotionally intelligent, internally resilient, and ethically principled individual. His role as the outsider to a war-torn world, coupled with his unique upbringing and temperament, makes his character growth throughout Avatar fascinating to watch.
Radish and Turnip Hash with Fried Eggs. The minute I get my hands on the first radishes of spring, I'm off to enjoy them sliced with lots of butter and judicious pinches of flaky sea salt.
As the season continues and the bounty begins to pile up, I start looking beyond raw preparations and sauté or roast my radishes instead. Radishes cook up beautifully; their affinity for butter and sea salt is just as apparent in the skillet. Sautéing mellows their pungency and renders the once-crisp flesh tender, the golden edges tasting of smoke. This spring hash recipe brings together spring radishes and turnips. Both are boiled briefly and then sautéed in a cast iron skillet along with green garlic, eggs, and parsley.
This recipe uses green garlic, which resembles leeks but with slight swelling at the root end and is available briefly in the spring. Discover Life. Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger. Not Getting Burned Anymore - The Permaculture Research Institute. Sometimes I wonder if all of the modern ailments, which seem ever more numerous as the years pass, are really just the result of adopting chemicals as a regular component in nearly every part of our lives.
Can it be that simple? The sudden outbreak of peanut allergies, the increase in chronic diseases, the fact that cancer now seems more the expectation than unpredictable tragedy—have we just become more aware of them, or are these things really becoming more and more the status quo? What I know for sure is that chemical interference has decimated other natural systems, and with so many examples at our disposal, it seems completely reasonable to think they’ve done the same for us. In fact, much like with biocides, the immediate results often seem great: If we put on sunscreen, we don’t get burned, and of course, that means less risk of skin cancer. However, as time passes, as we further expose our systems to the chemicals that are “helping” us, the worse and worse the results become. 3585.

Huxley Vs Orwell: Infinite Distraction Or Government Oppression? Posted on August 24, 2010 in Images The Huxley vs Orwell comic is originally from Recombinant Records: Amusing Ourselves to Death, adapted from Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business by Neil Postman.
When I read this comic, I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Brave New World:

Updated: 07/22/2015 5:48 PM | Created: 07/17/2015 5:46 PM By: Devin Neeley, KOB Eywitness News 4 When you check out a library book, you're supposed to return it so someone else can enjoy it.
But it appears some book loves checking out books from one Colorado library are loving them so much they're racking up a lot of late fees. Durango Public Library Director Sandy Irwin says more than 400,000 items are checked out each year, but people aren't bringing them back on time. "We have over 10,000 people that have fines right now.
Those might range from 10 cents to $800," Irwin said. The fines total almost $30,000 – money the library could be using to build its collection. "Let's say $15 per item. Australia—riding on the insect's back. As you may have spotted, the title of this article is a cheeky reference to the famous saying that Australia rides on the back of a particular woolly ruminant.
The reference dates back to 1894, when the wool industry was one of the primary sources of Australia's prosperity. Wool was our main export commodity from 1871 to the 1960s. For more than a century, the golden fleece drew pastoral workers and professionals to regional Australia, and sustained many a country town. It is likely that most people would consider the native birds and animals in the farm shelterbelt to be the main source of agricultural biodiversity. However, the most diverse and important biodiversity is much smaller. Looking beneath the farmer's feet we would find countless insects and other invertebrates living out their lives, and in so doing providing services that we take freely and for granted.
