One of those, Fortuna, would be produced for human consumption in chips and french fries.<br /><br />Consumers Aren't Ready<br /><br />Eight of the 10 food companies polled by Greenpeace, however, indicated that they don't plan to use GM potatoes in the future, and half of the companies said that they were against the cultivation of GM potatoes for human consumption.<br /><br />Adding to the case against Fortuna, the German Association of the Fruit, Vegetable and Potato Processing Industry (BOGK) sees no necessity to authorize the GM potato because consumers aren't ready to "accept genetically modified products in either food or (animal) feed."<br /><br />egk/SPIEGEL<br /><br />http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,691223,00.htmlanonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-10154986657650401632010-04-28T03:08:42.607-04:002010-04-28T03:08:42.607-04:00What is with Pennsylvania,.. is it the water ?

"Again."<br /><br />Khyber owner Stephen Simons, who was not at the show, said he had been told that the crowd inside "largely ignored and mocked" the three men.<br /><br />But after they exited the club, on 2nd Street near Chestnut, they were attacked by a group of up to 50 people, he said.<br /><br />"I guess being on 2nd Street in SS uniforms on a Friday night is a way to incite a semi-riot," Simons said.<br /><br />An attendee of the show who asked not to be named posted a blog entry about the event Saturday and removed it Sunday after receiving "really negative feedback," he said.<br /><br />In the posting, he had described the men as tattooed with "Nazi-inspired symbols" and as wearing "camouflaged combat pants; woolen, WWII-era coats adorned with SS emblems and authentic Third Reich hats with Nazi insignias emblazoned atop them."<br /><br />He said the crowd kicked and punched the Nazi-wannabes and used weapons that included beer bottles and cue balls, although postings on other online- message boards describe the attack as more tame.<br /><br />The only information police have on the incident is that they responded to a report of a disturbance on 2nd Street at 11:33 p.m. No arrests, hospitalizations or assaults were reported, a police spokeswoman said.<br /><br />Simons said it was the first time anyone had shown up at the Khyber in Nazi gear.<br /><br />"As a Jew, I am totally offended by them wearing the uniforms," he said. "But, as an American citizen, I totally uphold their right to dress however they want to dress."<br /><br />He said that although men dressed as Nazis were at the downstairs show, at the same time a largely gay dance party was going on upstairs.<br /><br />"There was a man on the second floor wearing a wedding dress," he said. "I don't think he had any problems going out on 2nd Street."anonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-44308468676929289732010-04-27T17:53:51.032-04:002010-04-27T17:53:51.032-04:00Second cousin twice removed to that dude Draino,.....Second cousin twice removed to that dude Draino,.. or was it,.. could it have been,.. what was his name,.. let me think for a second,.. the dreadful one,.. what the hell was his damn name,.. ya,.. that guy plunger was directly related to that dredd guy,.. like twins - not identical but more like fraternal - the hyper anti-anti-Zionist dude who always had something nice to say about everyone.

Unless this demographic locomotive is halted, Arizona Republicans know their party will soon be electoral toast. In 2004, Arizona governor Jan Brewer, then Secretary of State, had organized a racially loaded purge of the voter rolls that would have made Katherine Harris blush. Beginning after the 2004 election, under Brewer's command, no less than 100,000 voters, overwhelmingly Hispanics, were blocked from registering to vote. In 2005, the first year of the Great Brown-Out, one in three Phoenix residents found their registration applications rejected.<br /><br />Behind the Arizona Immigration Law: GOP Game to Swipe the November Election<br /><br />http://www.gregpalast.com/behind-the-arizona-immigration-lawgop-game-to-swipe-the-november-election/Big Danhttp://bigdanblogger.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
