Here are "10 Reasons" I find compelling to engage in cloud watching: 1. Clouds and Cloud-scapes are the greatest FREE SHOW ON EARTH. It costs not a penny to look up and feast your eyes on the view (or, if you are confined indoors, to look out and up and see). 2. Clouds are never exactly the same. They are never boring. There are four basic cloud types (cumulus, stratus, cirrus and nimbus). Based on these, Nature composes endless symphonies of the skies which

are mixtures and elaborations of the basic types. 3. Many skies are simply beautiful to behold. There is no other way to say it. Sheer beauty! "Ahh, the Great Artist at work!" 4. Clouds are a "Billboard of Coming Attractions". Particular clouds arise from causative fac-tors. These factors produce to-morrow's weather. 5. Establishing a habit of ob-serving the sky when you first get up and before you retire, and many times in between,

gives one a sense of connect-edness with Nature. We need to remember that our roots are in Nature, and we over-look this fact to our own dis-service. An appropriate meta-phor is the difference be-tween rooted and cut flowers. 6. Cloud observing nourishes a global consciousness. 7. Planet Earth is unique be-cause of the presence of wa-ter. 8.

An effective antidote -- is the habit of systematic cloud ob-serving. Reduce boredom by becoming acquainted with the day sky. Write them down in a journal or on the tablet of your memory. 10. Clouds are a magic show!

Recognize fruit and vegetable label num-bers. If it is a 4-digit number, the food is conventionally produced. If it is a 5-digit number beginning with an 8, it is GM. However, do not trust that GE foods will have a PLU identifying it as such, be-cause PLU labeling is optional. If it is a 5-digit number beginning with a 9, it is or-ganic. 5. Purchase beef that is 100% grass-fed. 6. Seek products that are spe-cifically labeled as non-GM or GMO-free. Shop Locally, buy whole foods and grow you own. If you are growing your own plants from seed, make sure the com-pany has taken the "safe seed pledge".

Admiral Hopper at her retirement ceremony in 1986 Associ-ated Press/Peter Southwick

Josephine Cochrane, (March 8, 1839, Ashtabula County, Ohio - August 3, 1913) received the patent for the first working dishwasher, didn't spend that much time washing dishes. The real impetus for her invention was frustration over her servants breaking her heirloom china after fancy dinners. Cochrane was a socialite who loved to entertain, but after her husband died in 1883, she was left with massive debt. Rather than selling off that beloved china, she focused on building a machine that would wash it properly. Her machine relied upon strong water pressure aimed at a wire rack of dishes, and she received a patent for the device in 1886. Cochrane

claimed that inventing the machine was nowhere near as hard as promoting it. At first, the Cochrane dishwasher tanked with individual consumers, as many households lacked the hot water heaters necessary to run it, and those that had the capacity balked at paying for something that housewives did for free. Undaunted, Cochrane sought appointments with large hotels and restaurants, selling them on the fact that the dishwasher could do the job they were paying several dozen employ-ees to do. In time, however, more house-holds acquired the device as greater num-bers of women entered the workplace. Mary Anderson went to New York City for the first time. She saw a much different New York City than the one tourists see today. There were no cabs honking, nor were there thousands of cars vying for position in afternoon traffic. Cars had not yet captured the American imagination and were quite rare when Anderson took that trip, but the woman from Alabama would end up inventing something that has become standard on every automobile. During her trip, Ander-son took a tram through the snow-covered city.

Admiral Grace Murray Hopper deserves credit for her role in the com-puter industry. Admiral Hopper joined the military in 1943 and was stationed at Har-vard University, where she worked on IBM's Harvard Mark I computer, the first large-scale computer in the United States. She was the third person to program this computer, and she wrote a manual of op-erations that lit the path for those that fol-lowed her. In the 1950s, Admiral Hopper invented the compiler, which translates English commands into computer code. This device meant that programmers could create code more easily and with fewer errors. Hopper's second compiler, the Flow-Matic, was used to program UNIVAC I and II, which were the first computers available commercially. Admi-ral Hopper also oversaw the development of the Common Business-Oriented Lan-guage (COBOL), one of the first com-puter programming languages. Admiral Hopper received numerous awards for her work, including the honor of having a U.S. warship named after her.

Genetically modified (GM) foods - are they safe or harmful? Regulatory authori-ties have approved GM food that is on the market, some people are concerned that there is risk of harm. If you live in Europe, avoiding GM foods is easier since laws require labeling. In the US and Canada, however, food manufactur-ers are not required to label their foods. Here are some guidelines for steering clear of GM foods in your diet, if that is your choice. 1. Become familiar with the most com-mon applications of genetic modification. These are the products (and their deriva-

tives) that are most likely to be genetically modified: Soybeans - Corn - Rapeseed/Canola - Sugar beets - Gene added/transferred to make crop more resistant to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. - Cotton - The seeds are pressed into cottonseed oil, which is a common ingredient in vegetable oil and margarine. -Dairy - Sugar. In 2012 the FDA approved GMO Beet Sugars to be allowed to be sold on the market under the name.... "SUGAR" If you see CANE-SUGAR" there's a good chance it's not GMO. -Papayas. -Zucchini - Baked goods. 2. Buy food labeled 100% organic. 3. Trusted Organic Certification institutions include QAI, Oregon Tilth, and CCOF. 4.

There are two of the largest cricket farms in the country, in Geor-

gia and Louisiana, but in June, Lucky Lure Cricket Farm, among the oldest and largest suppliers in Florida, was forced to close its doors. If you are the adventurous sort, you can try our recipe for dry roasted crickets and enjoy an interesting source of protein. Dry roasted crickets would also make great snacks for a Fear Factor type party or event! Recipe for Dry Roasted Crickets It is important to know that once insects die, postmortem changes happen rapidly making them unpalatable very quickly. You have to cook them alive like you do a lobster. Just before cooking, put your crickets in the refrigerator until you are ready to roast them. You don’t want to kill them, only slow their me-

tabolism down so that they stop moving. This allows for arranging them on the cookie sheet with out them trying to get away. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Spread a bunch of pre cooled live crickets out on a cookie sheet. Bake at low temperature for an hour or more until completely dry. Test by crushing a dried cricket with your fin-gers. If they do not seem completely dried out, roast them some more. However, be careful not to burn them as they taste terri-ble scorched! Let cool. Thank you New York Worms Long Is-land, New York info@nyworms.com Dry Roasted Crickets have a nutty flavor and are very good eaten plain with a sprin-kle of salt. They are also very tasty as a substitute for nuts in dessert and cookie recipes. Also added to bread flours to make lots of different recipes.

Eating insects or entomophagy—the tech-nical term—is already in practice for over 2 billion people. UN says eating insects could fight hunger Report says insects, which contain lots of protein and minerals, are environment-friendly and could help fight obesity. More than 1,900 species of insects are eaten around the world, mainly in Africa and Asia, but people in the West generally turn their noses up at the likes of grasshop-pers, termites and other crunchy fare. Al Jazeera's Jessica Baldwin, reporting from London, said that there is no shortage in supply as there are 1,900 edible insect spe-cies on the planet, 40 tonnes of insects to every human.

Sierra Club Inner City Outings (ICO) is a community outreach program providing opportunities for urban and low-income youth to explore, enjoy and protect the natural world. Lo-cally, we have been working with Parramore Kidz Zone (PKZ) in downtown Orlando, Florida. PKZ aims to reduce juvenile crime, teen pregnancy, and high school drop-out rates in Orlando's highest poverty and

Because cannabis edibles are ingested instead of smoked, all of the harmful side affects associated with smoking are eliminated. Though some users have described feeling nauseous or groggy, and on rare occasions, vomiting. There are no known long term negative side affects from ingesting cannabis edibles. Here is a recipe if you’d like to use a milk with more fat...Coconut Milk.

milk, and an . Take two cups of shredded, unsweetened coconut and soak it in 4 cups of warm water for a couple of hours. Blend the coconut and water mixture in the blender for a minute or two. Prepare a cheesecloth and a bowl. Pour the blended mixture into the cloth, and strain. The liquid that you squeeze out of the cloth is your coconut milk!! Easy, right? You can use it right away, store it in the fridge for a couple of days, or freeze it in ice cube trays for easy future dispensing.

The Chandelier Plant from Madagascar has hundreds of little flow-ers. I’ve also taken a stab at Yard Art...What do you think?..

The neighborhood is ablaze with blossoms. <<The Jacaranda in my neighbor’s yard is sim-ply lovely. The poinset-tias are still blooming too. Holly berries are turn-ing red, & I hope the Robins find them invit-ing.

Home and Garden What's Great about Robins? Robins are fun to watch. Bug-eaters, they hunt by sight and that is why you see them dashing across your yard, stop-ping and peering, and then grabbing something. I have never seen a robin just am-bling along; they run every-where and are full of energy. Robins have a beautiful warbling song as do most thrushes. One bird writer de-scribes it as "a rich cheer-up, cheer, cheer, cheer-up" that can be heard at dawn and dusk. They get rid of garden pests. True, their favorite

food, worms, are beneficial for the garden. But they also scarf up grasshoppers, cater-pillars, termites, and other harmful bugs. They're will-ing to nest close to human habitation for maximum bird-watching and they often nest more than once per season . They have a lot of person-ality. The males are known for aggressively guarding the nesting territory. Food and Water - Since robins are bug-eaters, you won't be able to lure them to your feeding area unless you put out mealworms ($)

Try putting out berries, rai-sins, and sliced apples in small pieces of apple with the cut side facing up. Also, robins love to bathe. You can lure them with the sound of running water. Don't use pesticides on your garden and lawn. You don't want to be serv-ing up poisoned caterpillars and worms to the robins. Landscape your yard with robin-pleasing shrubs I've also observed that rob-ins love holly too.
