Can You Go to Canada If You Have a DUI?
Almost 7 years ago, while going through some personal issues, I made a terrible mistake and ended up being convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) in the State of California. It was a dark period in my life, but I have moved on and learned my lesson. This spring, however, my intoxicated driving conviction […]

Anadarko Execs Buy up Depressed Stock After Lethal Colorado Explosions
Posted May 26, 2017 by Steve Horn
Buy low, sell high. It’s a maxim taught to stock traders from day one and one which Anadarko Petroleum’s upper-level management seems to have taken to heart in the aftermath of the April gas line explosion that blew up a Colorado home, leaving two dead and one badly injured.
Since the explosion, five members sitting on either Anadarko’s board of directors or executive officer team have purchased a combined $2.6 million worth of company stock, totaling over 46,700 shares, according to data on InsiderInsights.com and first reported by investor analyst site SeekingAlpha.com. Anadarko’s stock price has fallen nearly $10 per share since the April 17 blast.
However, the trouble may have just begun for the Texas-based company at the center of Colorado’s hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) boom. On May 25, an Anadarko oil well exploded just a few miles from the mid-April gas line explosion site. That incident, also in Firestone, Colorado, left one dead and three others injured.

Salmon Falafel
Posted May 26, 2017 by Julie
Look at me, posting something not sweet! Something you may already know about me: I love homemade falafel, all crispy and warm, straight from the pan. It occurred to me that a kind of amalgamation between fish cake and falafel might be possible, and it turns out salmon gets along brilliantly with chickpeas (doesn’t everything?) and adds a meaty richness to the already delicious falafel. It’s a match made in frying pan heaven. I don’t know what else to say about these except that you should probably make them as soon as possible, if you’re a fan of both – they make tasty little-kid finger food, work as an appetizer, or can be stuffed into soft pitas the traditional way, and loaded with chopped tomato, cilantro and garlicky tzatziki. (I like to flatten the traditional falafel balls slightly, to make crunchy raggedy edges.) They’re also delicious with all manner of aioli, or just plain, eating with fingers straight from the pan.

New York Attorney General: Feds Must Address Bakken Bomb Trains. Feds: Maybe Later?

New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman has joined with attorneys general from California, Illinois, Maryland, Maine, and Washington in calling for limits on the volatility of crude oil transported by rail. The failure of federal regulators and Congress to address this known safety issue has led Schneiderman to continue to pressure regulators on it.

Newfoundland photographer captures video of rare piebald moose

Casino Magnate Sheldon Adelson Stands Between Nevada and a Renewable Energy Future
Posted May 25, 2017 by guest
This is a guest post by David Pomerantz crossposted from Energy and Policy Institute
The Nevada Assembly passed a bill yesterday that would dramatically increase the growth of renewable energy in the state, but Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate and major donor to Donald Trump, is attempting to prevent the bill from becoming law.
The bill, AB 206, would ensure that Nevada gets 80 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2040. AB 206 passed the Assembly with bipartisan support by a margin of 30 to 12, but it must now pass the Senate and be signed by Gov. Brian Sandoval.

Climate change might help Quebec vineyards, say researchers
Posted May 25, 2017 by Anonymous
If the climate continues to warm over the next two decades, southern Quebec wineries may be growing more of the European grapes – think pinot noir and chardonnay – than the province’s harsh winters typically allow.
Grape vines in Quebec are limited by length of frost season, winter temperatures and annual growing days – as such, most of the grapes produced in Quebec are hybrids, which are hard to compare against non-hybrids on the international market.

7 Ways to String Lights in your Backyard!
Posted May 25, 2017 by Anonymous
Make your backyard a twinkly retreat with some quick and simple ideas using string lights! – – – – – – This post has been sponsored by Wayfair Canada! But as always all thoughts, ideas, opinions and such are my own. One of the nicest things about summer nights, is being able to sit out on the deck under all of our twinkly lights. There’s just something so pretty about the light they cast…it almost feels as if we’re sitting in our own little fairy garden. The best thing about using string lights for lighting is how easy they are to hang. Pretty much anywhere you would like them, you can hang them. My favourite though, is to drape them along sort of droopy looking, as opposed to a straight line. Last summer I put together the easiest patio light project and I still love it SO much. Above is a picture of the lights strung around our deck space, hung from wooden poles on each of the corners. I used to just go out and sit there under all the lights. Pretty pretty pretty. This year I’ve added more string lights, but this time I have draped them all […]

Why insects still aren't a food staple in Western diets

Tucking into a big bowl of these chirping grasshopper-relatives might sound like an episode of Fear Factor, but researchers from the University of Copenhagen say that cricket farming could be a nutritious solution to lowering the environmental impacts of food production.
