I think they can wait for years.
they won’t get them.
Planck Institute watered it down, if anything. Anyone in the so-called nuclear industry who claims “Fukushima is under control” is full of shit.

Thanks, HotFlash and Kelly. Congrats on the music! In a couple of weeks the Anchorage Youth Symphony will begin performing my The Wild Coast in Salzburg, Vienna and Prague.

Imagine a situation within 100 years in which Japan, the northeastern USA and most of western Europe are all but uninhabitable because of one reactor disaster or meltdown after another, every 15 years. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have arrived at conclusions along those lines :
Catastrophic nuclear accidents such as the core meltdowns in Chernobyl and [...]

We do that with cilantro and arugula pesto. We’ll certainly have lots of nettles with which we can experiment in a couple of weeks.

The recipe worked. Ms ET cooked a fabulous meal. The nettle pesto, mixed in with Bulgar wheat, had an interesting taste. She cooked the Bulgar in chicken broth, adding some finely diced, almost caramelized onions. No cheese. I think next time I try this, it will be mixing cilantro and nettles in the pesto. There [...]

For years we just made basil-based pesto and used it mixed with pasta and parmesan. Then we started mixing it with oil for dressing. Then, using cilantro or arugula or nettle. We’ve also mixed it with more oil and mayonnaise for dressing. And for coatings on sea scallops after they have been blackened. Or – [...]

Dr Omura found that fresh cilantro removes heavy metals from the body in less than two weeks.
Maybe I’ll grow some more. Already growing two big batches. Here’s a photo I took last summer.

EdwardTeller commented on the diary post Sunday Food: Cedar Plank Salmon by Christoph.
If you re-use cedar planks, it is important to clean them thoroughly after using. Very hot water, a scrub brush, no soap and air drying in the sun with as much of the cedar exposed to the air as possible works. If you use cedar planking on a bbq or open fire, it is best to [...]

Supposedly, northern white cedar, like some willows, contains salicylic acid, which is a pain reliever. So – cook up your salmon on the northern white cedar, drink a lot of wine, and chances of a hangover are diminished.

I will. Headed out to watch the partial eclipse.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/philipmunger/7236756186/in/photostream Our daughter tried making this last week, and passed it on during a Mothers’ Day call. Bringing a bagful of spring debris to dump over the edge of the steep hill above our marsh today, I saw hundreds of fresh nettles emerging from the leftover stalks of last year’s fireweed, devil’s club and dandelion.

mmmmmmmmmm salmon
ah, yes. We’ve only got three Sockeye and part of a Chinook left from last year. I haven’t done cedar plank in about five years. Might be a good time to do it again. I hate buying the cedar stuff from stores, though. Cedar does not grow in this part of Alaska. When I [...]

My tribute to the great baritone singer, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who passed away Friday. One of the great singers of all time.

I’ve watched them make shrimp-flavored cat food. There might be seafood waste in it, but – at least in Seattle – no shrimp.

I’m more pessimistic than I generally let out. My guess is that there is a two out of three chance that the SFP rods in Fukushima #4 will collapse down into the pit in an earthquake within the next year or so. Just today, there were 5.6 and 5.8 earthquakes off the cost of Northern Honshu. So, what’s out there already is of concern for sure, but what I feel is coming will be far, far worse.

The reason I decided to buy the iRad Geiger counter set up is that it has the capability of instantly sending your info out to non-government citizens’ monitoring collectives. Hopefully, as these collectives grow, they won’t be outlawed.

At TPM Muckraker this evening, in the comments about the arrest sweep that brought in TarHeelDem, one person wrote, regarding the Molotov cocktail assertion by the pigs:
Didn’t anyone tell them that “firebagger” is just a figure of speech?

Some of the most startling Fukushima-related readings of radiation in North America have come from kelp beds in California and BC. I’ve checked around, and nobody has done any similar readings in Alaska. My friend Kelly Walters and I hope to set up a radiological reading network up here, and link it into the citizens’ networks forming down below.
