Approval and Regulation of New Genetically Modified/Genetically Engineered Plant Varieties in Canada
Download the PDF – Approval and Regulation of New Genetically Modified/Genetically Engineered Plant Varieties in Canada
To deal with the products of genetic engineering, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the Canadian government created a new term and category called novel foods or plants with novel traits which includes genetic engineering among other technologies. The CFIA states, "This term covers products that have not been previously available for sale in Canada, have been substantially modified, or are produced by a new process."
GMOs are considered "novel foods" and "plants with novel traits" or PNTs.
Before a new GMO can be grown and sold as a crop in Canada it first must be
approved for food safety by Health Canada, and
approved for feed safety and unconfined environmental release by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
Commercial seed varieties (whether GMO or not) must be registered.
For most crop kinds, the variety undergoes independent field trials to demonstrate that it meets merit criteria. A Recommending Committee of experts on that crop reviews the results and may recommend registration if the variety meets or exceeds the performance standard for the crop. The CFIA then registers the variety based on this recommendation.
Vegetable seed or commercial corn seed do not require variety registration.
The federal government is planning to change the seed regulations to eliminate the field trial and recommending committee process for soybeans and all forages.
Companies that sell GMOs normally patent the relevant genes, or obtain licenses to use patented genes from the patent owner. Companies that sell new non-GMO crop varieties usually seek and obtain plant breeders rights (PBR). Obtaining gene patents and PBRs are separate processes outside of the GMO regulatory process, but once these rights are given they affect the dynamics of the seed system.
Canada's Regulatory Approach
1) Reviews the product, not the process: Plants in Canada are regulated on the basis of the traits expressed and not on the basis of the method used to introduce the traits.
2) Safety reviews are based on concepts called "familiarity" and "substantial equivalence."
o Familiarity is defined as "our knowledge of the characteristics of a plant species and experience with the use of that species in Canada."
o Substantial equivalence is defined as "the equivalence of a novel trait within a particular plant species, in terms of its specific use and safety to the environment and human health, to those in that same species, that are in use and generally considered as safe in Canada, based on valid scientific rationale."
3) Testing: no long term testing or monitoring is required, and there is no independent testing; instead the government relies on data provided by corporations.
Patenting Genes
Canada does not permit patenting of higher organisms; however, it does permit genes to be patented. The 2004 Supreme Court of Canada decision in Schmeiser v. Monsanto determined that if a gene-patented plant occurs in a farmer's field without the patent-holder's permission, regardless of how it got there and regardless of whether the farmer made use of the trait conferred by the gene, the farmer is guilty of patent infringement. To avoid legal action by patent holders, therefore, many farmers purchase gene-patented seed, pay royalties and agree to the company's terms and conditions outlined in Technology Use Agreements or other contracts that prohibit saving seed for planting. As a result, farmers must purchase new seed every year.
Plant Breeders Rights
The Canadian Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) Act conforms with the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) 1978 standard. It grants property rights to the owners of new plant varieties, giving them18 years of exclusive rights to collect royalties on seed when it is sold. Under UPOV '78, a seed owner cannot hold both patent rights and plant breeders' rights on the same variety.
The federal government is expected to attempt to amend the PBR Act and related laws and regulations to conform with the UPOV 1991 standard. This newer regime confers greater rights on the PBR owner for a longer term, and makes it more expensive and difficult — in practice, impossible – for farmers to save and replant seed. It also permits simultaneous patent and PBR rights on the same variety. UPOV '91 allows PBR owners to collect royalties at any point, including on the sale of the harvested crops grown from their seed varieties. Royalty collection rights are granted for at least 20 years under UPOV '91.
Variety Registration
Vegetable seeds used by home gardeners and market gardens are not covered by the variety registration system.
Before 2009, all new varieties of commercial crops except for corn were registered using the Part I process (described below). Corn has been exempt from variety registration because most growers have adopted hybrid seed. In 2009, the variety registration system for commercial crops changed, and the three tiers (Part I, Part II and Part III) were introduced. Crop kinds can now be moved from Part I to Part II or Part III by amending the Seeds Act regulations. In 2009, potatoes were moved to Part III.
Part I – The new variety must undergo two or three years of field trials, depending on the crop kind, conducted by an independent third party (usually Ag Canada or a university). Data from the field trials is submitted to the Recommending Committee, a group of experts on that crop. The Recommending Committee reviews the data and evaluates the variety on specific criteria such as agronomic performance, disease resistance and quality. Since 2009, merit can be determined on the basis of performance on as little as one criterion. If the variety meets or exceeds the performance of a reference variety, it is considered to have merit, is eligible for registration and the Recommending Committee may recommend that it be registered. If the variety is recommended, the seed developer may submit its registration information, and the CFIA can register the variety.
Part II – requires field-testing and submission of data to the Recommending Committee. There is no merit requirement and the data may not be published, as it is considered confidential business information. Varieties with inferior performance can be registered under Part II. Safflower is the only crop kind in Part II.
Part III –There is no requirement for merit or field testing. A seed breeder or seed breeding company can apply to have a new variety registered simply by submitting basic information about the variety to the CFIA. The CFIA has the authority to deny registration only if it considers the new variety a threat health or safety. Potatoes and sunflowers (non-ornamental) are in Part III. The proposed amendment to the regulation would place all forages and soybeans into Part III as well.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)'s Role
Assesses environmental impact and livestock feed safety
Responsible for Seeds Act, Plant Protection Act, Feeds Act, Fertilizers Act, Health of Animals Act and Regulations, Food & Drugs Act and Novel Foods Regulations
The CFIA is the lead agency responsible for regulating genetically engineered plants or "plants with novel traits" for environmental safety under the Seeds Act. It grants approval for field trials of GMO crops during their development and for commercial growing (unconfined release). The CFIA also approves crops for use as animal feed under the Feeds Act and Regulations. The CFIA enforces food safety standards through inspection and monitoring activities and also provides consumer information which generally supports the current policy bias toward allowing corporations to self-regulate their operations. There seems little recognition of the inherent conflict of interest that is evident in allowing a self-interested corporation to self-regulate.
Health Canada's Role
Assesses food safety for human consumption
Responsible for Food and Drug Act and Novel Foods Regulations
Health Canada is responsible for assessing the human health safety of genetically engineered foods as well as the safety of veterinary drugs, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and cosmetics.
The specific criteria for the safety assessment of such foods are outlined in the Health Canada publication Guidelines for the Safety Assessment of Novel Foods
For Novel Foods from GMOs it examines the following: characterization of derived line; genetic modification considerations; history of organism; dietary exposure; nutritional considerations; toxicology considerations; allergenicity considerations; and chemical considerations.
Environment Canada's Role
Responsible for the Canadian Environmental Protection Act
Environment Canada plays a small role, and only regulates products that fall outside the responsibilities of other departments (genetically modified animals, for example)
What are GMOs?
Genetically modified organisms contain genes altered by using molecular processes to manipulate genes and genomes, a process called genetic engineering (GE). One of the most common GE technologies used to make GM crops is recombinant DNA, which takes DNA from several sources, often different species, to create novel DNA sequences with desired characteristics that do not occur naturally in the host organism. The `recombined DNA` with its desired trait activated is then inserted into the host, and the genetically modified organism is created.
The result is that completely new (exotic) genes can be created, and that new genetic material can be transferred between entirely unrelated species. For example, genes from a soil bacterium (Bt) known to have insecticidal properties have been put into the DNA of corn, which turns every cell in the plant into a factory for making its own insecticide. The technology enables science to cross the species barrier – a natural barrier to genetic exchange between unrelated species. This has never happened before – has never been done before – and cannot be achieved through traditional plant breeding techniques, including hybridization. Essentially, therefore, genetic engineering can introduce into food crops genes that have never before been part either of the human diet or of the ecological system where the crop is grown.

The Domaine de Panisse is a hidden gem near the nice provencale town of Courthezon. Surrounded by cypress trees and vines, the winery can be found in a beautifully renovated old Mas, everything perfectly in its place and clean as a whistle. Many consumers don't realize it, but for some reason this is a difficult task in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. After all, why keep it clean if the wine easily sells out simply based on its name?
In 1992 the French government purchased Domaine de Panisse in order to demolish it for a super-highway connecting Avignon and Orange. But later that same year, in one of the worst rain vintages on record, the whole area flooded and the government rethought their decision. Christine and Jean-Pierre Olivier expatriated the property from the government and set about the looooong task of renovating the land and the buidlings.
Even as recently as two years ago, during the messy 2014 vintage, the Oliviers decided to NOT make any wine (think about that decision for a minute) and took advantage of an empty winery to finally put the finishing touches on the building. What they have now is truly a tremendous property, but still relatively unknown.
Our friend Veronique Lombardo from Devoy Martine in nearby Lirac introduced us earlier in the year and even though Christine was under the weather she greeted me warmly and we had a really, really great tasting.
But, it was upon a return visit that she pulled out this special bottling that for some reason she hadn't shown me ealier. Why? Perhaps its name: Noble Revelation. I think her idea was maybe to get me hooked on her other wines, then pull out all the stops and give me a REVELATION!
Christine and Jean-Marie bottle this wine only in select vintages--07, 09, and now this 2012. It is culled from their best and oldest plots, in this case 80-year old Grenache that look like Ichabod Crane gnarly old stumps. A portion of lively, peppery Syrah gives this wine a bonus lift where otherwise it might be a bit too sultry and heavy. Instead, we have a complex, balanced, saturated Chateauneuf that rivals any other top tier offering in the appellation. Yum.
So what's the secret here? Well to me, its the land. I've visited Chateauneuf-du-Pape a lot over the years, often with mixed results. However, when I discover a winery that has vines planted on sand or sandstone, rather than the ubiquitious galets roules, round rocks, that are in all the photos, I often have a keeper. Such is the case at de Panisse.
I wouldn't hesitate to cellar this baby for another 10-15 years.


The theater community is saddened by the sudden passing of Nicholas Delaney, at age 34 two days ago. Our condolences to his family, to Alice, to his friends, actors, and fellow musicians who worked with him and loved him.

He was also Music Director and band leader for Titus Andronicus, and his creative contributions to that production contributed to the Baltimore City Paper naming it one of the 10 best plays of 2015. Titus was a very special show for Nick and his father Tom, a guitarist. In the Titus band, they were able to play together publicly for the first time since Nick was a teenager.
Nick also appeared in our productions of The Comedy of Errors, Romeo and Juliet, Uncle Vanya, A Christmas Carol (2014 production), A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Two Gentlemen of Verona. He was Music Director for Much Ado About Nothing and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
He also was Music Director for and appeared in 13 Dead Husbands with Cohesion Theatre Company and participated in ParityFest Baltimore.
He was an instructor and show director at School of Rock in Columbia, MD. He has played guitar and/or bass for musicals at University of Maryland, Children's Theatre of Annapolis, Laurel Mill Playhouse, and Stevenson University.
Nick served proudly in the United States Air Force.
He very recently became engaged to Alice Stanley, who is co-founder of Baltimore's Cohesion Theatre Company and often works as a house manager at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company performances. They met working together at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.
We mourn his passing, and are grateful for the legacy of music and memories that he has left us.-Jean Thompson, Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.
I am heartbroken and devastated to inform you all of the sudden and tragic passing of Nicholas Delaney yesterday morning, January 19th. Nick was an outstanding musician, actor, teacher, and friend. Through his time with Cohesion and Chesapeake Shakespeare Company as a musician and performer he touched so many lives, and brought his infectious joy to everyone he met. His work with students at School of Rock in Columbia, MD made him truly happy by bringing music into the lives of children. His dedication to his work on stage, and his love of performance, Shakespeare, and games with friends were halmarks of his life. Nick was also a veteran of the United States Air Force, and served his country with honor and distinction.
Nick was born December 29, 1981. Nick was an Ensemble Member at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, where he appeared in Uncle Vanya, A Christmas Carol, A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Amazon expands product protection service Transparency to more countries
eSellerCafe News Team
Amazon is expanding Transparency, its product serialization service, to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, India, and Canada.
When brands use Transparency to apply unique codes to their products, customers, brands, Amazon, and other participants in the supply chain can authenticate every unit of a product, better protecting brands and customers from counterfeits at scale.
Unique serialization for every product unit is the most effective way to tackle and prevent counterfeits throughout the supply chain, and Transparency's geographic expansion is the latest in Amazon's continued investment in scalable, technology-driven solutions to prevent counterfeit.
"Counterfeiting is an industry-wide concern – both online and offline. We find the most effective solutions to prevent counterfeit are based on partnerships that combine Amazon's technology innovation with the sophisticated knowledge and capabilities of brands. We created Transparency to provide brands with a simple, scalable solution that empowers brands and Amazon to authenticate products within the supply chain, stopping counterfeit before it reaches a customer."
Dharmesh Mehta, vice president, Amazon Customer Trust and Partner Support
Amazon Transparency is a product serialization service
Transparency is a product serialization service that provides a unique code for every manufactured unit.
Brands put these codes on its products and every time one of these products is ordered in Amazon's stores, Amazon scans and verifies the code to ensure only authentic units reach customers.
Customers can use a mobile app to scan the code and verify authenticity regardless of where they purchased their units.
Brands can also use Transparency to communicate unique unit-level information, including manufacturing date, the manufacturing place, or other enhanced product information (e.g., ingredients).
More than 4,000 brands use program in the US
Over 4,000 brands are enrolled in Transparency in the US, ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Hundreds of brands continue to enroll into the service every month. These brands have generated over 300 million unique codes, allowing Amazon to proactively stop over 250,000 counterfeits of Transparency-enabled products from reaching customers.
In 2019, for products fully on-boarded into the Transparency service, there have been zero reports of counterfeit from brands or customers who purchased these products on Amazon.
"Amazon's proactive approach and investment in tools like Transparency have allowed us to grow consumer confidence in our products and prevent inauthentic product from ending up in the hands of our customers."
Matt Petersen, Chief Executive Officer at Neato Robotics

The illustration was created by painter Professor Gottlieb von Koch together with biologist Dr. Friedrich Quentell and Heinrich Jung. Up until the 1930s, Jung/Koch/Quentell charts were published by Frommann & Morian. After the war Hagemann, a publishing house of educational media, bought the rights for Jung/ Koch/Quentell charts and started to publish them until the late 70's.
The chart is an offset-print on paper mounted on canvas, fixed on split wooden dowels and in excellent condition.


This story starts a little over two years ago. For those of you who know this part already, feel free to allow your attention to wander until I get around to the new facts that you're looking for. A few months before The Bean was born I started having some little problems with my health, namely my hips were sore (but what pregnant woman's aren't?) and I started to have little panic attacks here and there (well, yeah, I'm about to give birth). I brushed them off, but in the end they ended up taking Ely by C-section three weeks early as my body "just wasn't coping well" to quote the OB. The problems got a little worse after she was born, especially the mental issues, but I figured PPD was to blame for a lot of that and it would get better. It didn't.
So I go on meds and she tells me that once my body has regulated itself the physical stuff should lessen. Three months later - I seem to be more stable emotionally, the pain has gotten a little worse. I go back in and she runs more blood tests. Nothing. She says the meds haven't had enough time to do their job and I need to be patient. Three months after that the pain has started worsening. I go back in and this time, she sends me to a rheumatologist. That doctor determines I'm expremely hypermobile, but nothing else is physically wrong with me. Her last words as I walk out are, "That's something that's just going to get worse and there's really nothing we can do except maybe manage the pain". Those words were like a deathblow.
Fast forward again to a month ago. After a few more failures to find anything, I've stopped going to the doctors and looking for a new opinion. I'm tired of tests and no results. The meds that seemed so hopeful for making me "stable" now seem to have little effect, as the panic attacks and anger and sadness are creeping back in at more regular intervals. The pain in my hips and back has come to a place that keeps me awake at night and makes sitting to play on the floor with my kids impossible at times. I've lost hope completely, I've come to a place where I've decided I'll just have to live out my life like this.
And then a mere two weeks ago, as I sat with a group of knitting buds, a little bit of it came spilling out of me. My frustration, my anger, the pain - and they listened and then happened to mention that another knitting pal of ours had gone through some similar issues and had seen this naturopath in town who had been able to give her answers the doctors couldn't and clear the issues up. So I emailed her when I got home, without really giving it too much thought. The email I got in return was long, and the story it contained seemed similar to mine - pain, unending tests, no answers - except for the end, which ends in perfect health. She talked glowingly of this clinic and encouraged me to make an appointment, although she warned me it would be months before I could probably get in for a consult. With that in mind, that I still had months to ponder (and perhaps cancel?) this appointment and prepare myself, I called. Wouldn't you know it - they had two appointments, one for the testing, a second for the results, the very next week.
Slightly excited, mostly nervous, I made the appointments. Then I turned my head to the more practical aspect of this venture...the $$$. Most insurances don't cover any alternative medicines, so I'd be footing the $375 bill to go through with this. Two days later my friend Cindy, who also happens to be in the bible study group I lead as our "mentor mom", stopped by with a check from the church for $200 to "help out" with some expenses. My mood was lifted slightly by this and I figured it was a sign I was supposed to go. However, a day before, as I sat figuring bills and realizing that this was still going to stretch us a bit more than I wanted, I started to get nervous again. An hour later as I was still pondering this, my phone rang and the secretary at the church told me there was a check there for $100 for me donated anonymously from someone. My jaw dropped and I started bawling. Talk about someone trying to tell me something.
And so, last Tuesday morning, I went in to the small clinic. The doctor herself comes out to get you, no nurses, no waiting in a room endlessly. She led me back into a small room and sat down with me. Used to doctors who want to be in and out of your room in 10 minutes I proceeded to give her the cliff notes of the past two years. She asked questions, filled over two pages with notes, and was interested in every little detail, not only of how I felt, but how it affected every aspect of my life, what had been done before, the tests they'd run, the meds, their reasoning, my thoughts on my treatment so far...it just went on and on. I realized I'd been there for 45 minutes just talking to her. She allowed me to interuppt and ask questions, she explained everything to me. Then she did a series of tests that frankly I was slightly dubious about - if the doctors, with their high tech machines and in depth lab tests couldn't find anything, what in the world was she going to find with just her hands and a few simple machines? She looked into my eyes and using a method called iridology made a list of the parts of my body under stress. She hooked me up to a tiny machine that measured my heart tones. She tested reflexes and pushed pressure points. Last, she poked my ear and took a tiny blood sample that she said would be dried and examined.
After all this she asked me to book an appointment with a chiropracter she worked closely with because she wanted me to have x-rays on my lower back and hips, as she believed there was some skeletal issues there contributing to the pain. She said she was frankly surprised and disgusted that I went in complaing of pain there and no x-ray had been taken before. She sent me off saying she would see me Thursday and would have a full report for me. I went home and called the chiropracter's office and they said I could come in the next day.
So the next day found me sitting in a cheery waiting room where the staff seemed to do nothing but smile and laugh. They grabbed me coffee, chatted while I waited - it was a waiting room as I'd never seen a waiting room before. And then the woman who took me back sat with me asking a slew of questions about my pain, my health in general, how it made me feel. It was like talking with a friend, totally relaxed. Then she did several tests with me and the doctor came in. He also sat and talked to me, then did even more tests, and then sent me off for x-rays. When I was done he came back in and discussed his preliminary findings with me, although he said he wanted to wait until he had seen the x-rays to offer his official diagnosis. So his unofficial diagnosis: My right hip is sublaxted, meaning a slight dislocation, and has been for quite some time, probably since my daughter was born and I first started having hip pain. I didn't notice because of the extent of my hypermobility, which causes my joints to pop and move more than most people's anyway. Over the last two years, my body has compensated for this by shifting an extra 20 pounds of my bodyweight over to my left side, throwing my spine out of alignment as well. And finally, because the muscles on my left side were working overtime supporting that extra weight, they had become twisted up in a solid knot of tension that happens to lie, you guessed it, right where the back pain sits and where the spasms I have orinate from. I went from "there's nothing we can do and it will only get worse" to "here is the problem and I can help" in two minutes flat. I cried on the way home, a mix of relief, sadness over the lost time, and a new hope I hadn't driven there with.
I am intolerant to potato. Yes, potato. My body cannot digest it properly and so it's making my body try to work in ways it shouldn't have to.
I have a secondary intolerance to fruit and wheat. This means I can eat both of them, but not in combination or my body has difficulty digesting them. I ideally should eat them no fewer than 6 hours apart.
I have adrenal insufficiency. Your adrenal glands are "chiefly responsible for regulating the stress response through the synthesis of corticosteroids and catecholamines, including cortisol and adrenaline (epinephrine), respectively." (Wikipedia) Because of the physical and emotional stress at which my body has been operating at for the last two years my poor little adrenal glands are basically worn out, and so everything is just going wonky.
The best part - she doesn't believe I'm actually bipolar. The original doctor's claim - that because I was so stressed my body was physically in pain. Dr. Potenza's thoughts - if you're in pain all the time and feeling like there's no hope, your body's natural emotional response is going to be anger and/or sadness. So when the original doctor told me I was bipolar and that the meds would help, I did feel better for a time because I had some hope. But then as it just got worse physically the anger and depression came back, as a natural response and that's why the meds weren't really working, because there wasn't something there for them to treat.
So what does all this mean? First and foremost, on Thursday of this next week I go back in to the chiro, Dr. Mario, and he will give me an official diagnosis and begin treatment, which at this point is looking like the major adjustment of putting my hip back into place, followed by I'm sure several other adjustments to get everything else back where it belongs. I think some physical therapy for the muscles will be in there as well. I'm nervous about the initial popping the hip back into place part, but excited to not be in pain anymore.
Baking powder contains potato starch and it may not be listed on labels...so no eating pre-made baked goods. Tapioca has potato starch as well and is in a fair few items. Most yeast is grown on a culture made from potato. Other potato dirivatives that I have to look for are modified food starch, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, vegetable broth, MSG or "natural flavorings", and propylene glycol (in soda and ice creams). Penicillan type antibiotics are grown on potato cultures. Lastly, and this one is actually funny, I cannot use plaztic bags (like Ziploc) or plastic wrap, as they contain potato starch byproducts to make them biodegradable.
This means, in a nutshell, that I have to make pretty much everything I eat from scratch. Any baked goods, including making my own bread from a sourdough started or the one (1) type of yeast I can eat, have to be made by me. I can find certain types of pasta that won't have any of these things in them, but they're more expensive, so noodles will be more efficient handmade. Anything canned or pre-packaged is pretty much out thanks to the salt, so snack type foods and many convenient things I used for dinners, like canned tomatoes for spaghetti, are out unless I can them myself. My garden this year just became ten times more important to me. Basically, my entire diet will now revolve around vegetables and meats, supplemented by my homemade goods. If I go out to eat most of the menu will be off limits, so I'm looking to be a cheap date by eating mostly salads, and if we go to a friend's house for dinner I'll have to bring my own food. So don't be surprised when I show up for the summer BBQ armed with my own bread and appetizers. I'll be happy to eat those ribs though, pending that they haven't got a lick of salt or BBQ sauce on them.
The secondary intolerance means that I can't have grains or fruits within six hours of each other. Pretty straightforward in the main really, with grains being any type of grain under the sun and fruits being fruit in any form - raw, cooked, dried, juiced. Main thing here is that fruit is hidden in many things and means that the few foods left to me are limited further by the time constraints on them. Rather than take up an entire paragraph I'll revert to bullet list form again.
So any of that on the above mentioned list has fruit of some sort in it and has to be eaten at least 6 hours apart from a grain. I can buy milk and butter that don't have the fruit in it at health stores, and maple syrup so I can continue to enjoy some pancakes (as long as said pancakes don't have salt or baking powder in them). You can find yogurt without the grape enzymes there as well.
What this horribly long post that has taken me two hours to write boils down to is this: Aside from the physical issues that can be helped by the chiro, is it worth it? Am I willing to give up a huge portion of my diet and take on making almost everything from scratch? Will the lack of headaches, pain, digestive troubles, and anger and depression make up for the fact that I can never eat a french fry or slather strawberry jelly on a piece of bread I pull from a convenient bag again? I don't know. But I'm willing to try.
So in closing, I'd like to take this opportunity to bid farewell to the things I will miss most that I'm trading in (I refuse to think of it as giving up) for this new adventure (yes, I am trying to look at it as such). The last bullet list of this post, I promise.
I've decided that was the most horrible idea I've ever had. I'm now thinking that perhaps I should finish off everything on that list. Instead, I'm going to walk away and put my own no yeast, no baking powder, potato free flour bread into rise and trust that in a few hours time when I pull a sweet smelling loaf of my own bread from the oven I'll realize that it beats greasy fries and over sweetened coffee anyday.
Wow, sounds like you've been through a LOT to say the least, and glad you figured some things out.
I've been meaning to buy myself a bread maker so if you give me your recipe and ingredient brand names, I can save you some time. You are a challenge Tawnymeister, but I will cook for you yet.
I am sooo glad you had a good experience with these docs! Who knows if all the change is worth it? but at least you finally finally have an arsenal of info to base your decision on.
oh my God. Those are some crazy restrictions. Good luck sweets. I know you can do this. If the doctors are right, it will all be worth it in the end.
I'm glad you're getting some answers--and even more importantly, hope!
Have you talked to our mutual friend J. about this? Her family has a lot of those secondary intolerance issues, so she's had a lot of experience figuring out Spokane sources and such.
I am glad you are starting to get things sorted through. Buy a bread maker they are totally worth it!


Welcome back to the short weekend blogs, home of the World Famous LEANTRACKER!
Last night went pretty well, all things considered. I'm sure a few folks got on the Paid Play and took a loss, but the TWO Free Plays BOTH hit, so we actually went 2-1 on Premium Selections, and also picked up ANOTHER winner on the Prop Bets, which are turning out to be a furious money-maker. Full disclosure: I started putting a tiny bit more than a quarter unit on those Props, so yesterday brought a smile back to Bebe's mug.
Totals have really turned out to be quite profitable this week, and while we've laid a full-on egg on side bets, Premium Totals plays are a solid 4-2 this week, and we also hit a Non-Premium Late Release Total, as well. Today's Top Play might be a side, courtesy of the short card and the back-to-backs, but let's check things out and see where the lines take us!
Jazz @ Wizards - Utah by 9 with a total of 196.5. Washington is playing a 4th in 5 nights, and haven't been good on back-to-backs. Utah off an ugly loss in Indiana; I lean to the big road favorites. Utah might drop 110 on the Wizards - can Washington break 85? I think I have to wait to determine a lean here just because I can't see Washington shooting well two nights in a row.
Blazers @ Hornets - Portland by 2.5 with a total of 194. Portland is knocking at the door of getting out of playing the Lakers, slight lean to Blazers, though the value isn't great. Lean to the Under on the total - with Chris Paul back, Hornets aren't going to try to go breakneck speed any more. Or at least they shouldn't.
Nets @ Bulls - Chicago by 10 with a total of 194.5. The Nets are on an offensive roll, but I don't like either side in this one, since I still haven't made up my mind on whether Chicago's set to mail it in the rest of the way. No lean on the side. The Nets shot 58% against the Pistons last night in a ridiculously high scoring affair, and I strongly believe that this total jumps UP as a result of that inflation. Then I'd lean just slightly to the Under.
Lakers @ Rockets - This line is OFF. This is an ugly time to be a Rocket. The Lakers got murdered by the Thunder last night, and are actually going to be a decent value, courtesy of the back-to-back. I know Houston likes playing LA, but they're also in "Lottery Freefall" mode, so I lean Lakers (especially with no Battier to guard Kobe). I also happen to believe the Rockets struggle to score, and I'd lean Under, but it's tough to know for sure before we see where the books bring this one out.
Mavericks @ Warriors - Dallas by 4 with a total 234.5. I happen to think this side is pretty accurate, coin-flip spot, but I love backing the Warriors at home, so they get the slight nod. Dallas is just the kind of team that can get sucked into a score-fest, and this total is high for a reason. Lean to the Over.

Yak meat is similar in flavor to lean, high quality grass fed beef. It is milder, though, having a cleaner finish on the palate. Yaks develop their fat layer externally, without the marbling found in beef. Connective tissue is easily trimmed. Typical cuts—e.g. sirloin, ribeye, tenderloins, roasts, ribs, stew meat, ground--are the same as with beef.
Yak meat is lean yet juicy. Steak cuts are best prepared and served rare to medium rare. A little salt and pepper is all that is needed. The juiciness and the fresh, clean flavor don't require masking with strong spices or marinades. Some cuts are exquisite when braised-- the connective tissue breaks down, and the meat falls apart. The juices produce the most incredibly rich and flavorful broth! Those who enjoy organ meats will find that yak heart makes beautiful tartare, or can be grilled on high heat to medium rare, sliced into strips, and served like steak. If you are fortunate enough to live near a yak breeder, be sure to ask about their meat availability. After you have sampled several different cuts of yak meat, you will probably choose it over beef.
A few years ago, our Yak Meat Nutrition Committee collected nutritional data. Samples from three different cuts (ground, round, and ribeye) were donated by various farms across the U.S. in order to represent different geographical regions. These samples were analyzed by Silliker, and IYAK received its first Certificates of Analysis and USDA recognized Nutritional Labels.
The Committee submitted the data to a meat scientist, Christina A. Mireles DeWitt Associate Professor, Food Science Oregon State University. She perform a study comparing yak with other types of meat. The Summary Report concluded that yak meat is nutritionally very similar to grass-fed beef and bison. It is higher in moisture content, though, which is why it is so juicy. It is high in "good" fats, low in "bad" fats, and full of nutrients, so smaller portions often feel more satisfying compared to other meats.
The data from the Committee's work that year are available for you to view. Look it over, then find a yak breeder in your area and enjoy the delicious flavor firsthand.
Below are the results of the International Yak Association's analysis of three cuts of 100% (fullblood) yak meat: Ground Yak, Yak Ribeye, Yak Round Steak. Samples were collected from a number of producers. The samples were all from grass-fed and grass-finished animals.
These labels are for informational purposes only. IYAK is in the process of developing guidelines for the proper usage the labels. Until such guidelines are published, use of these labels on any yak meat is strictly prohibited.
Danielle Gardner is one of the owners of Pettee Ranch, is a small local ranch that raises North American (originated from Tibet) Yak for all purposes including; fiber, meat, breeding stock, and beast of burden. We pride ourselves on being good stewards of the land, using grazing dynamics to aid in the health and function of the ranch as a whole, creating healthy happy yak.

Happy Holidays from Newmind Group
by Garrett Wenger | Dec 23, 2014 | Culture | 0 comments
It's that time of year again, and even if we don't have much snow (some of us are knocking on wood right about now), it's always a privilege to spend this season with friends and family.
This past weekend we got to spend some R&R time in each other's company (rest and reflect, one of our core values), and some photos from that get-together may soon come to surface. In the meanwhile, we wanted to give you a taste of the holidays, Newmind-style.
Holiday playlist
We asked around for everyone's favorite holiday tunes and collected a playlist. As it happens, Newminders really love Sufjan Stevens and Vince Guaraldi. If you're still looking for a soundtrack to get in the spirit, this mix of classics and oddities could be just the right fit!
However, for every great holiday song, there are a handful of earworm-y ones that drive you nuts, so we asked Newmind:
If you could have any Christmas song stricken from existence, what would it be?
"Grandma got run over by a reindeer" comes out on top by a large margin, but here are some other notable responses:
"Possibly anything by Mariah Carey, although that may ruin Christmas for certain loved ones…" – Matt
"Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmas Time' for certain. I love the Beatles, but this track is so bad, and every fresh interpretation is exponentially worse." – Garrett
"'12 days of Christmas,' because of playing drums to it (worst time signature ever)" – Dustin
"Anything and everything sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks is just unnecessarily ruining Christmas for the rest of us. Please, for the love of all things good and holy at this time of year, make it stop. Oh dear, I sound like the Grinch, maybe I should ease back a little!" – Nick
"'The Christmas Song' (commonly subtitled 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire' or, as it was originally subtitled, 'Merry Christmas to You'). Why? Because Chestnuts, Jack Frost, Yuletide, turkey and mistletoe are implied as the only way to make the season 'bright' (I'm allergic to Turkey), and because Santa, Toys, Goodies, and Reindeer are how Torme sums up Christmas." – Ryan R
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree makes my blood boil" – Jarad
Newmind's holiday watch list (updated since our Thanksgiving post)
Nick Yarosz gives us the skinny on why "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is his essential:
"I just have to say that 1965′s "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is in my humble opinion the quintessential holiday soundtrack & film, not just cartoon, of the season. In a world with instantly gratifying experiences available around every corner, A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of the few things left that's worth waiting 12 months for.
Each year I anticipate listening to Vince Guaraldi's simple, nostalgic & evocative jazz compositions. Something about that film has captured the spirit of what I believe Christmas is all about (Linus has a speech about this) and has helped to preserve it into this modern day."
And Ben Morris linked us to his personal favorite on Youtube.
What's your go-to "Home Alone" trap of choice?
Being as Home Alone is one of our favorites, we decided to posit a hypothetical to the company: Harry and Marv have targeted your suburban home for a Christmas burgling spree, and you're Macaulay Culkin armed to the teeth with boobytraps.
Newmind Group's favorite childhood Christmas gifts
It may be the season of giving, but we were all at an age, once, when it was all about the getting. So what are Newmind's favorite gifts of Christmas past?
Dan Jefferies
"So many. A heavy die-cast Voltron comes to mind as well as a giant Lego set of a Castle. I had to build the Castle inside a pack-and-play so that my brothers and sisters wouldn't destroy it."
Matt Vollmar
"Likely the Atari 2600 with Pitfall Harry when I was in 1st or 2nd grade…That was epic!"
Ryan Russey
"Original Nintendo."
Michael Jefferies
"Maggie, the dog my parents gave me when I was eleven."
Ryan Hawkins
"One of them is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for the original PlayStation. I played it non-stop for about a week straight."
Lance Busdeker
"Cowboy Hat. I still have it."
Dan Proczko
"Stuffed animal Raccoon that was also a puppet. I took this thing everywhere, camp, sleepovers. I still have it… No, I don't sleep with it."
Luke Reynolds
"When I was eight or nine I got a new Sony Discman. CDs were still new, so it was a big deal for me, because even at that age I was super into music. Mowing the lawn was never the same again."
Steve Chang
"Favorite gift was just getting any gift, we didn't have much money back then."
"Sega Genesis."
Luke Schneider
"Super NES. First gaming system allowed in our house, that was a big deal!"
Dustin Adams-Fall
Alissa St-Amour
"Furby! I waited (not so patiently, mind you) the longest month in my life for that thing!"
"Game Boy with Final Fantasy."
Jarad Selner
"When I was eight or so, my brothers and I got an electric race-car track! Except it was already set up when we woke up that morning, and had a note attached that said, "Sorry this is already open, the Elves wanted to test it out." The 'Elves', I found out later, were of course my father. The track didn't last long as it was, but that hilarious story is the gift that keeps on giving!"
Nick Yarosz
"It's funny how I can't really think of any gifts that I received as a child, but how I can remember playing in the snow outside in Parchment with my sister after opening our presents and absolutely loving it, or going sledding! White Christmases were the best gifts I received as a child. Next week, our family is traveling to back to Michigan for Christmas so I have a child-like dream that we might see a White Christmas this year!"
James Duke
"A camcorder from my grandpa!"
Joshua Slye
"Original NES system, so good!"
Tyler Triemstra
"My favorite Christmas present I received as a child was my backpack. It really didn't seem like a great gift at the time, but the backpack lasted five years, going through middle school, most of high school, and accompanying me across four continents before it finally wore out!"
Garrett Wenger
"A Super Nintendo bundled with Kirby Superstar. It had the best soundtrack and my little brother & I could play co-op. That game was like a third parent to me growing up."
From all of us at Newmind Group, we wish you a happy holidays. Wherever the season brings you this year, we hope you stay safe, sane, and smiling.

You may notice in the next few days that the leeks are slightly dirtier than usual and the cuts may not be as neat as you are used to.
Our local grower Duncan Janaway bravely faced the horrendous weather to pick the leeks he had agreed to supply us for the end of the week. Duncan and his staff had to resort to hand picking the leeks; any use of machinery was impossible due to the amounts of rain the local area had received. This must have been an arduous task, but one which resulted in a successful harvest.
Many other suppliers did not brave the weather conditions in order to harvest their produce. We really appreciate the dedication Duncan put in and feel that this week's leeks really embody the Riverford ideals of fresh, local, organic produce.

While salsas made from red tomatoes are often on the table, especially in central Mexico, it is the green salsas made with tomates verdes, the smaller, papery husk–wrapped tomatillos of the same nightshade family, that predominate in most of the country. This simple salsa with its tart chile flavor is a surprising accent for any grilled meat.
Starting with the tomatillos, put all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor, then process to a smooth consistency. The salsa should be quite thick, so don't be tempted to add water to thin it. It is best when served right away, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

Robert Earnshaw (Mufulira, 1981. április 6. –) zambiai születésű walesi labdarúgó, jelenleg a Toronto FC csapatában játszik.

Gyermekkora
Earnshaw egy zambiai bányászvárosban, Mufulirában született,  ötéves  korában a család átköltözött Malawiba, mivel édesapja egy ottani bányában kapott állást. Robert itt kezdte meg tanulmányait. Nem sokáig maradtak itt, 1990-ben Caerphillybe költöztek, egy walesi kisvárosba Cardiff közelében. Robert itt egy helyi klub utánpótláscsapatában kezdett futballozni és egy szezon alatt 60-80 gólt szerzett.

Pályafutása

Cardiff City
Rengeteg góljára hamar felfigyelt a Cardiff City ificsapatának edzője, Gavin Tait, aki 1997-ben meg is hívta Earnshaw-t az egyik edzésre, ami után szerződést is ajánlott neki a klub. 1998-ban kézhez kapta első profi kontraktusát. Ebben az időben kedvenc csapata, a Manchester United is szerette volna leigazolni.

Amikor 2000-ben kölcsönben a Greenock Mortonhoz került, úgy tűnt, nem lesz túl fényes a karrierje a Cardiffnál. Visszatérése után azonban ő lett a szurkolók egyik legnagyobb kedvence a Ninian Parkban.

West Bromwich Albion
Earnshaw 2004-ben a West Bromhoz igazolt 3 millió fontért. Egy Liverpool elleni meccsen mutatkozhatott be, ahol a csapat 3-0 arányban kikapott. 2005. március 19-én a Charlton Athletic ellen mesterhármast szerzett, amivel az első olyan játékos lett, aki mind a négy angol profi ligában lőtt már három gólt egy meccsen. A 2005/06-os szezonban ugyan még a WBA játékosa maradt, de egyre nehezebben tudta felvenni a versenyt Diomany Kamarával és Nathan Ellingtonnal a csapatba kerülésért.

Norwich City
A 2006-os téli átigazolási időszak utolsó napján Earnshaw a Norwich Cityhez szerződött, ahol alig néhány hétre rá két gólt lőtt a Brighton ellen. A szezon végéig a csatár még hat alkalommal talált be. 2007 januárjáig ő vezette a másodosztály góllövőlistáját 17 góllal, de megsérült, ami miatt az évad többi meccsét ki kellett hagynia.

Derby County
A Kosok 3,5 millió fontot költöttek Earnshaw-ra 2007 nyarán, amivel megdöntötték saját átigazolási rekordjukat. Egy Portsmouth elleni meccsen mutatkozott be. Első gólját 2008 januárjában szerezte a Derby színeiben egy Preston North End elleni FA Kupa-meccsen.Az első Premier League gólját Arsenal ellen rúgta, amely 6-2-re végződött Arsenal számára.

Nordictrack T10.0 vs T14.0 Treadmill Comparison - Which is Best?
These are two popular starter treadmills from Nordictrack, coming in at very affordable prices.
Both treadmills give you a very respectable 3.0 HP motor, 0 – 12% incline and roomy 152 cm running decks.
They are both also iFit Coach compatible – meaning you can connect to iFit through your treadmill and download new workouts, track your workout stats or even run different world trails – from Paris to New Zealand!
So how are they different? There are a few key differences you should know.
Here's a rundown of the main differences to help you decide which treadmill is best suited for your home.
The Nordictrack T10.0 model is actually the model below the T14.0 model. As of now, it runs around £999 with Free Shipping here. That makes it ideal for budget buyers.
The Nordictrack T14.0 treadmill is the next model up but currently runs around £1199 with Free Shipping here.
This is the main area where you see the largest difference between these two treadmills. The Nordictrack T10.0 treadmill gives you a dual-color, bright, backlit LED screen with a scrolling message board to lead you through your workout.
The console on the Nordictrack T14.0 treadmill steps things up a bit. You get a full-color, touch-screen console which really makes your workout stats and iFit scenery come alive. You can see your workout stats or start a workout program with a swipe of your finger, which is a lot more convenient.
This is quite an upgrade – for a similarly priced treadmill and many people will probably prefer to have the full-color, HD console.
The Nordictrack T14.0 treadmill also has the adjustable tablet holder just like the T10.0 model as well.
It's also fair to note that – while both treadmills are iFit compatible – if you don't have your own tablet that you can connect to iFit with on the T10.0 model, you won't get the scenery of iFit that everybody really loves.
So you won't get full use out of iFit if you decide to add it to your treadmill.
If you don't have a tablet, it really doesn't matter on the Nordictrack T14.0 treadmill since you can connect to iFit easily through the console and watch the iFit scenery that way.
Want to add some challenge to your workouts? The Nordictrack T10.0 treadmill comes with 20 built-in workouts that were designed by a personal trainer to focus on different goals like calorie burning, time goals, hills and more.
The Nordictrack T14.0 treadmill gives you a few more built-in workouts to challenge you: 32. So you get a few more workouts with this treadmill.
The Nordictrack T14.0 treadmill has a bit more weight to it than the T10.0 model – so it can feel a bit more stable when you pick up the pace.
You can also see this in the higher weight capacity of the T14.0 model: 135 kg vs 125 kg. So if you're a runner or just want a treadmill with a bit more stability to it, the T14.0 model is the better choice.
Both treadmills come with a port for your iPod or iPhone. You can plug it in and listen to your favorite workout music through the built-in console speakers.
However what most people may not realize is that the speakers on the T14.0 console are higher-quality (3 inch speakers vs smaller 2 inch speakers). So your sound is going to be better on the T14.0 treadmill than on the T10.0 treadmill.
It's a little thing – but if you're planning on playing your workout music while walking, it's worth considering.
So what's the bottom line when comparing the Nordictrack T10.0 vs T14.0 treadmills?
While they both give you some solid basics like a 3.0 HP motor, 12% incline, heart rate monitors and 22 km/hour speed limits, there are some key differences.
The biggest difference is in the console – the T14.0 gives you an upgraded full-color console with web browser whereas the T10.0 model console is only dual color with no web browser.
The Nordictrack T14.0 also gives you a better sound system, more workouts and comes in at a better price (for now).
The only reason to choose the T10.0 model is if Nordictrack drops the price on it to be more affordable than the T14.0 treadmill.

Role in Marjaavaan was powerful: Rakul Preet Singh
DECCAN CHRONICLE. | LIPIKA VARMA

Updated Nov 18, 2019, 3:22 am IST
She reveals that while narrating the story, the director Milap Zaveri, compared her part to some of the greatest characters.
Post the success of De De Pyaar De, Rakul Preet Singh is excited about her latest release Marjaavaan, opposite Siddharth Malhotra. Talking about the movie, where she's playing a tawaif (courtesan), Rakul says, "My character's name on-screen is Arzoo. Everyone is in love with Arzoo but she is crazy about Raghu (Siddharth)."
She reveals that while narrating the story, the director Milap Zaveri, compared her part to some of the greatest characters, which was enough for her to agree.
"He said this is a powerful and special role and can be compared to Rekhaji from Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Tabu from Jeet and Chandramkukhi from Devdas," she says. Further, the actress talks about her character. "The exciting factor is that she narrates shayari, and has a typical adaa. I have not seen such a role after the '90s, it was contradicting to De De.. and is not conventional." Marjaavaan also stars Tara Sutaria and Riteish Deshmukh.

The first wave of commentary on the Charlottesville brawls contained remarkably little about the violence on the left. That has shifted somewhat, which is good, because we aren't going to deal effectively with this problem if we focus on blaming one side over the other.
In our own time, I believe, we are being naive if we focus all, or even most, of our attention on only one of the gangs of thugs engaged in these brawls. The fact that the alt-right is linked to racism pushes a lot of guilt buttons in white America. We have a painful history that makes us acutely aware of the dangers of yielding to racist thugs. But while the potential damage of yielding to the leftist thugs is less clear, it is not necessarily less lethal. Consider the evil deeds of Stalinist Russia or Maoist China, both of whom killed more innocent people than the Holocaust.
In our own situation the ugly march of a couple of hundred white nationalists, as shocking as that is, is unlikely to threaten the stability of our constitutionally elected government. The general sympathy of mainstream Democrats for the violent tactics of fascists on the left (Antifa) against Trump just might.
Those of us who are committed to peaceful resolution of ideological differences have to stand together and make the violent conduct of these fringe groups the focus of our attention. A drunk driver is a drunk driver, and it doesn't matter what good reasons he or she has for getting behind the wheel in a state of inebriation. The same is true for violence. This means I have to condemn the side I lean toward ideologically as strenuously as I condemn the side whose ideology I abhor.
The hard work ahead of us includes at least three things.
First, it includes being rigorous in not assuming that the violent participants on either side represent the whole of that side. They don't. Maintaining good faith with our largely non-violent political opponents is crucial.
Second, it involves standing firm against the violence. (We must) prosecute, sentence, expel from college, to the full extent of the law, and resist the temptation to indulge (anyone), especially the young.
Third, it includes toning down our own outrage.
Two articles this week amplify the difficulty involved in toning down the outrage. Lutheran pastor Hans Fiene wrote in the Federalist that the escalation of outrage is actually addicting. Each morning we scan the headlines for the latest stories that support our point of view — Trump's latest faux pas if we are liberal, or the media's latest trashing of Trump if we are conservative.
I'm a white man, so you should listen to absolutely nothing I say, at least on matters of social justice. I have no standing. No way to relate. My color and gender nullify me, and it gets worse: I grew up in the suburbs. Dad made six figures. We had a backyard pool. From the 10th through 12th grades, I attended private school. So the only proper way for me to check my privilege is to realize that it blinds me to others' struggles and should gag me during discussions about the right responses to them.
In our obsession with identity politics, we are dissing the views of too many Americans. We are driving groups further apart instead of coming together as a nation. We are at one of those human crossroads that Ben Franklin had in mind when he was asked what kind of government the Constitution created. "A republic," he famously replied, "if you can keep it." If we can keep it, indeed.
Carol Frenier is a resident of Chelsea, Vermont.
Sadly conservatives let the left establish the narrative. there were two groups responsible for the disgraceful behavior in VA. The Politicians Mayor, deputy mayor a racist, and the governor the Chief perpetrators and the leftist mob. A simple examination of the facts and the videos that don't lie.
1) The police were ordered NOT to take charge that order comes form the Mayor and Governor – both wiling to see people killed and injured for their political goals. When I saw the videos you could see the cops were posed to act – but didn't or couldn't. They witnessed felonious assaults and failed to secure the street. had the done that the girl would not have been killed. The mayor and governor are directly responsible for the deaths and should be sued for malfeasance office and murder.
2) the leftist gangs reminiscence of Hitlers Brown shirts who used these tactics. (Read you history books and see some of the vintage WWII videos) The marches were in the right they had permits and were marching peaceable until they were attack.
We left the media get away with saying the people who were marching were racist or even neo-nazis. some may have been. Most were ordinary Americans trying to protect our history for leftist gangsters.
If Sessions had a brain or guts he would launch a civil rights investigation against the Mayor, PD and Governor who allowed under the color of Government assaults and the destruction of our 1st Amendment rights.
Note: After the cop in Ferguson defended himself from the Thug that attacked him – the FBI and Justice Dept investigated the police and the town government – they didn't find anything and were forced to exonerate the cop.
Fine article that should be disseminated more widely.
Thanks, Jerome. Feel free to post on your Facebook page if you are so inclined.
Great article, Carol. As always you articulate the heart of the issues you wrote about and show us a way to become a better, stronger nation as we realize we are fighting evil in the hearts of man, and not fighting against political parties. Thank you.
