(Keeping a dream log) Stop sign man spotted in my dream!

As i lay resting listening to transient music coming from live radio
I found a new radio station using the search term sleep.
Soon after I had this really alive dream!

I pictured myself traveling with a person who made stop signs for a living.
He was discouraged that countries and wealth influenced where his stop signs went
and he thought wherever he goes he will put his stop sign.

We pass a crossing with little children and buffalo crossing a street
and like magic he smiles and puts down his trademark stop sign.
I look out the back window as we move forward i see the 1st car stop at the new sign
and wonder the power one person can have on changing the world for the better.

It was just one stop sign but maybe this one stop sign saves the life of a young boy,
who has all the potential in the world for doing good and giving back.
This dream really taught me a valuable lesson that all people are capable
of influencing the world and making life on earth a better place.

I urge all of you that whenever you dream as soon as you can write it down.
Keep a log of all your dreams and when you read them again you will
feel as if you are once again in that dream as if it were yesterday though today
its a gift and in the future it will keep on giving..

Pasta and rice staples of billions worldwide now being contaminated by this tiny critter

Next time you eat pasta or rice
you might wanna keep your eyes wide open
as many packages of noodles are now being infested by a bug weevil
that loves pasta as much as you do
any open  packages and he will find his way into your pasta or rice dish.

Just because your house is clean doesn't mean you are safe!
Even at the source of production like the factory or the delivery truck
These grain weevils will find a way inside your cardboard box of pasta or plastic container.
One trick you can do is to shake the package before you buy it
and check the bottom to see if the little critters are present in your pasta.

Get some air tight containers! Chip clips may not be enough to keep these critters out.
You can also freeze food for a week this will kill any larvae in it
you can also use water mixed with bleach in your cupboards
or use a non toxic bug treatment i found from a previous article.
If you find something infested throw it away and vacuum the area and
wipe down with either the water and bleach or you can use this safe method
from a previous article
http://add-new-people.blogspot.com/2011/06/are-your-pets-and-house-getting-bugs-do.html You can click this link for the free do it yourself non toxic bug treatment  

The article above is excellent for removing bugs from your house and dog in a non toxic way fleas, ticks, mites, weevils, cockroaches use this solution where the food sits on kitchen counters, pantry's in trash cans the best news is you can find all of these ingredients for less than 4 dollars click on the above to learn how you can make this non toxic bug solution.   This bug solution actually cured my dog of manage and keeps cockroaches away.

These weevils like everything from dog food to rice and pasta to cereal or other flours to chips. So be sure to remove anything you suspect as these bugs go through 4 stages egg, larva, pupa and adult we usually see these bugs in the adult stage. Most of the damage is done when  these weevils are in the larva stage. Sorry to gross you out with this article though it is better for you to read this then to actually wonder what that crunchy thing is in your pasta.

You can also try adding a clove of garlic to each bag of pasta or rice you have
It is said that allot of these infestations actually start out at the farm or at the processing plant If you open a new package to an infested box of spaghetti let that company know whats going on. Not only they may reimburse you and give you some extra coupons they might actually stop the infestation at the source.  The scary thing is the government does allow a certain percentage of bug parts in pasta! Gross huh

They could have an outbreak at the factory and depending on the package could spread even further. I would not buy packages that just use cardboard alone many bugs can get right through it through the cracks. Im not a big fan of plastic though it does contain bugs more than cardboard.  Look for products that come airtight if not remove to an airtight container.

Pros and Cons of Marijuana legalization

Marijuana often called the gateway drug to more harmful drugs
has been demonized in both political circles for decades,
it is estimated that the United States spends
around 10 billion dollars per year enforcing the ban on marijuana.


The winds are starting to blow in other directions
as the Government who is broke now needs new revenue streams.
Projections show that if marijuana were regulated
that 12 billion dollars plus could be generated per year that is a 22 billion saved per year.

Also the so called devil weed seems less harmful then alcohol and cigarettes.
Laws could still be in place like D.W.I. to keep marijuana smokers in check
for getting behind the wheel. It is clear  that marijuana has gotten a bad rap.

Not only could  it jump start the economy but provide relief to cancer patients and those using chronic pain pills like Oxycontin and Perkasets to go to a less toxic lifestyle.
It is confirmed that Oxycontin is the gateway drug to heron and destroys the liver also people with eating disorders and individuals under high stress could benefit from legalized marijuana.

North Dakota one of the few states that is allowed to grow hemp hasn't turned into the lazy-ville people would think. Actually north Dakota has its capital with the lowest unemployment rate in the country at 2.9 % no recession while some parts of the united states is going through a depression.  Barney Frank a liberal and Ron Paul a conservative have put together a bill to legalize marijuana it is unknown the political will and backing this new bill we have im sure if you were to conduct a poll it would be close to a 50/50 split.

I believe it should be legalized though heavily regulated
by controlling amounts one can be giving and enforcing D.W.I.
requiring drivers not to drive while under the influence.
Marijuana is not for everyone or even most people
as it can take away desire in some people while inspire others.

The potential to become the Amsterdam of the western hemisphere
could be the boost needed to double tourism and improve the economy.
People who want smoke will find a way to do it anyway no matter
how much money the government throws at it with extra police and surveillance equipment.
The ones that stand to lose the most are the drug dealers and the growers
as now they will be undercut by stores and they become the middle men.

If marijuana legalization is passed
it is thought this would also make our borders more secure.
The Mexican gangs and Canadian grow houses would dissipate
this would stop the influx of foreign weed and lessen the possibility of bad dealers
adding chemicals to the product and would be less harmful to the American public.

Me personally i do not smoke marijuana
though ive seen people that could benefit from it firsthand
like my father who underwent chemotherapy and went on a morphine drip.
I have also seen people with a lot of anger management issues that need to chill out.
The amount of fights and destruction caused by Alcohol
would be imposable to count it is hard to imagine marijuana could be any worse.
