Hemp advocates tend to get a rapturous look when they talk about their favorite plant. And they have some very good reasons for that.

You can make hemp into clothing, paper, wood composites, personal care products, paint, and food, among other things. Hemp yields several times the amount of fiber per acre that trees do, and as an annual crop, is easier to manage. It doesn’t require the huge amounts of pesticides and herbicides that cotton does, and doesn’t come from fossil fuels like synthetic fabrics. Hemp fiber is also particularly strong, meaning that paper can be recycled more times and textiles last longer. And hempseed oil is a great source of healthy essential fatty acids.

But advocates often go a bit overboard when they describe the benefits of hemp. The plant actually has some of the same problems as others grown on a large scale. It requires about as much nitrogen fertilizer as wheat and is comparable to other crops in terms of water use. Also, as an annual crop, hemp doesn’t do much to preserve the soil or provide animal habitat. It requires a lot of energy for harvesting and processing, and like any monoculture crop, it doesn’t help biodiversity.

Using hemp will give you some good eco-karma, just not as much as, say, eating all organic or vegetarian. So get some hemp products, but also check out clothes made from organically produced cotton, and paper and wood from sustainably harvested trees or recycled pulp. And as always, look for ways to consume less, rather than just shifting to new sources.

  The sun is out here and there's a real feeling that Summer is now properly on the way. My brief investment in the veg garden a month or so ago is now multiplying at a tropical rate thanks to the combination of the rain showers and that ferocious southern hemisphere sun.

 The runner beans and new potatoes seem to be growing five inches a day, a phenomenon which was partly explained to me yesterday when I was weeding and paused to delve into the rich soil in pursuit of a stubborn root. It was warm as bathwater.

 That said, for a northern hemisphere-born lad, this change of the season sits incongruously with the approach of Christmas.

 There's no lights or helium Santas up in Takaka high street just yet (not sure if they go in for that sort of tat here) although I did spot that the Big Blue Barn (aka The Fresh Choice supermarket chain) has parked a Santa's slay in front of its doors, although as yet no Santa or reindeer to go in it.

 So what do Kiwi's do for Xmas, I wonder?

 We spent the last four Christmases in India, and even though it didn't snow exactly, there was a kind of foggy, need-a-fire-on, let's-make-some-gluvine, chilliness in New Delhi that helped nurture the festive spirit.

 Even at the risk of upsetting the expectations of my unflinchingly traditional mother, who's coming to visit this year, I absolutely refuse to sit down to sprouts, devils-on-horseback and bread sauce just for the sake of it.

 Equally, I think for an Englishman abroad (if NZ counts) Christmas deserves more recognition than a plain old sausage sizzle on the beach, which has also been mooted in some rebellious quarters here.

 What, I wonder is the halfway house?

 Best suggestion so far (mine, of course) is to go the local salmon farm at Anatoki on Christmas Eve, catch a couple of decent-sized fish and poach them up to be eaten cold the next day with some of the first new potatoes (fingers crossed) from the garden. A dollop of homemade dill mayo to go with; a glass of high-end New Zealand Riesling to wash down.

 Or is even that too fancy for a Kiwi Christmas? Answers on a comment please.

Hello WWE Universe, 

There are rumours going around that the Shawn Micheals will call out the Undertaker and challenge him to a match at Wrestlemania 25.  I think that would be a great match.  What do you guys think about that?  It has been ten years since3 they last fought each other and it was in 1997 at Badd Blood in a first Hell in a Cell match.  Which Shawn Micheals cheated.  I hope you will agree.

Distant Thunder Radio is featuring an Entertainer each month. Our DJs will throw their favorites in, but I want WWE Universe to be involved as well. (After all, you are all here for WWE, correct? Shouldn't YOU get a say in something like this?) So here it is:

Send me a message or comment, and let me know who YOU want as Distant Thunder Radio's WWE Entertainer of the Month, and why! I'd like something besides "because he/she is hot!" 

We will play a commercial each day for the winner, theme song, and I may even have some fans call station to record comments for their favorite Entertainer. (MAN I miss the word "WRESTLER"!) My shows are recorded, so you never know what may end up on YouTube or Blogs!

You can check www.distantthunderradio.com to find out who we pick for the month!

From the latest LPU exclusive CD MMM...COOKIES - Sweet Hamster Like Jewels from America! Chester is channeling his inner Fergie, I think. XD

I'll just say to those who had a problem with my last blog - Considering i don't live in canada or the states i would not have seen chris's story on the news and i know coz i watch the news every day.

Sorry, sassy sisters. The December 13 event is canceled due to low response. I will get something on the calendar for January, once the holiday dust settles. If anyone wants a get-together, please contact Tara, owner of the Indianapolis North Quad group, as she's got one or two events in play for December!!! Best to confirm the latest details with her directly, though. Best of all throughout the season, and I look forward to starting 2009 as one of the sassiest years ever!!!!!!!

 Dejo claro desde el principio que para mí la monarquía española no es más que un residuo histórico fruto del precio que se hubo de pagar durante la transición para conseguir la democracia. Pero, ¿se puede considerar a la monarquía una institución democrática?

En mi opinión sí, por cuanto que el art.1.3 de la Constitución establece que la forma política del Estado español es la Monarquía parlamentaria. Desde luego esto la aleja de otros tipos de monarquía como por ejemplo la marroquí. No obstante, considero que esta legitimación es meramente de origen e indirecta porque que yo sepa a nadie excepto los constituyentes han decidido al respecto.

La Constitución española otorgó amplias funciones al rey pero todas ellas tienen un carácter meramente protocolario o representativo y así sancionar y promulgar leyes, disolver las Cortes y convocar elecciones, nombrar candidato al presidente del Gobierno, ser el comandante supremo de las Fuerzas Armadas, asumir la más alta representación del Estado en el exterior etc...

Sin duda su principal contribución a la democracia desde un punto de vista histórico fue el aborto del golpe militar del 23F mediante un discurso televisivo en el que ordena que las autoridades civiles y militares a que tomen las medidas para la preservación del orden constitucional dentro de la legalidad vigente. Sin embargo a mi entender esto se trata de un hecho puntual que no debe impedir ver el bosque ya que la democracia no se la debemos a ningún rey sino como decía Unamuno a la "intrahistoria", es decir, a gente anónima de a pie como obreros, campesinos, estudiantes, sindicalistas  etc, que en su tiempo fueron duramente represaliados por el régimen que les tocó vivir por reclamar los derechos que les correspondían como personas.

El argumento más esgrimido de los defensores de la monarquía es la unidad y la estabilidad que ofrece, por aquello de ser una figura que está por encima de las tendencias de los partidos políticos. Esto sin embargo desprende un innegable tufo paternalista por cuanto pone en duda la capacidad de los españoles de organizarnos políticamente.

Las críticas más duras contra la monarquía provienen de los sectores más radicales de la sociedad: por una lado la izquierda (postura de Izquierda Unida), los nacionalismos (con manifestaciones públicas como la quema de banderas) y últimamente la de la ultraderecha (véase la petición de abdicación del inefable Jiménez Losantos. 

Un aspecto controvertido es la tipificación en el Código Penal de los delitos contra la Corona, para los que se establecen penas superiores a las normales. Esto puede incluso a estar hasta justificado por cuanto que se trata de una institución del Estado y en todo caso su alcance práctico es muy limitado a excepción del delito de injurias a la corona que puede llegar a constituir una severa limitación al derecho fundamental a la libertad de expresión,  como ocurrió con el secuestro de la revista El Jueves.

Lamentablemente creo que los españoles no estamos preparados para la instauración de la república y ello por 2 motivos: El primero de ellos es que el rey goza de una gran popularidad debido a factores personales (carácter campechano y cercano de Don Juan Carlos), como a factores de índole externa y estoy pensando en el excesivo protagonismo que recibe en los medios de comunicación ya sea a nivel informativo como a nivel de entretenimiento los miembros de la familia real en los deleznables programas de la farándula.

El segundo motivo tiene que con el blindaje que le brinda la Constitución por cuanto que su derrocamiento pasa inexorablemente no ya por la reforma constitucional sino por la revisión de la misma, lo que implica la aprobación del principio por mayoría de dos tercios de cada Cámara así como el consiguiente referéndum.

Mi conclusión es que la monarquía al igual que toda clase de residuos está condenada a desaparecer  pero ello tendrá lugar a largo plazo cuando futuras generaciones vayan tomando conciencia de la inutilidad e irracionalidad de esta figura, y pasemos de una vez por todas a tener una forma política que venga a significar cosa pública y no poder de uno.

ME GUSTARIA COMPARTIR MIS PENSAMIENTO ..

 December 04, 2008. Kanye West is looking to be a fashion intern at Louis Vuitton. We expect that it will be the shortest internship in Louis Vuitton's history

Here's how the NY Times is reporting it:

In the hope of better understanding the design process, Mr. West has announced that he wants to take time off from his music career and intern at a fashion house. Preferably, Louis Vuitton or Raf Simons.
"I was blown away from the planet when he told me," said Mr. Simons, by phone from Antwerp, Belgium. "I know he's very serious about this - I don't take it as a joke - but how can I imagine him being my intern? It's a very extreme situation."

Here's how we expect day 1 of the internship to go:

Designer: Mr. West can you get a needle and thread
Kanye: Why I gotta get the needle and thread ... give an intern a chance, I'm trying hard man, I have the ... number one record, man
Designer: You're fired

Another 'Christmas-is-Banned-even-though-it's-not' story from the Daily Mail. Don't look so surprised. Yet another school is forced to issue a statement refuting the basis of the original article. Not that it'll be much use; it will pass into the annals of myth-as-fact.
