I recently found this recipe in a free publication from my local co-op. I gave it a whirl this weekend. Aside from being wicked easy and healthy, it was very yummy. If you don't want to deal with the mess of roasting your own pumpkin seeds (but that's the fun part!) you can usually find roasted pumpkin seeds--also called pepitas--in the bulk section of your grocery. Happy munching!
PUMPKIN SEED TREATS
1 1/2 cups roasted pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup dried cranberries
4 Tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon orange or vanilla extract
1. Combine the pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries in one bowl.

In Manila, millions of residents now live in a world of mud. Torrential rain over the weekend triggered the worst flooding the Philippines' capital has seen in over four decades, submerging more than 80% of the city, killing at least 246 people and displacing hundreds of thousands more. By Tuesday, the water had receded in many places, but it left behind ruined homes and swept-away neighborhoods, and according to health officials, it disabled the majority of Manila's medical facilities.

Iran supreme leader orders probe of election fraud
By ANNA JOHNSON and ALI AKBAR DAREINI
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's supreme leader ordered Monday an investigation into allegations of election fraud, marking a stunning turnaround by the country's most powerful figure and offering hope to opposition forces who have waged street clashes to protest the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
State television quoted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei directing a high-level clerical panel, the Guardian Council, to look into charges by pro-reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, who has said he is the rightful winner of Friday's presidential election.
The decision comes after Mousavi wrote a letter appealing to the Guardian Council and met Sunday with Khamenei, who holds almost limitless power over Iranian affairs.

I am an animal lover and I know that I sort of went into my feelings about them before in another blog, but I thought I would write another one. Just in case you do not know who PETA is you can go to www.peta.org to get the full aspect on PETA, but be warned, there is some graphic material on there. Basically PETA is "People for the ethical treatment of animals", which basically they state that animals should not be used for any kind of meat, fur, or be used in any way such as pulling farm equipment, having jobs, etc.

“We’ll start out with one or two,” Davis said, adding that she is “looking for men in their early 30s to mid-50s :?

Justice David Souter's retirement from the Supreme Court presents President Barack Obama with his first opportunity to appoint someone to the High Court. People who are speculating about whether the next nominee will be a woman, a Hispanic or whatever, are missing the point.
That we are discussing the next Supreme Court justice in terms of group "representation" is a sign of how far we have already strayed from the purpose of law and the weighty responsibility of appointing someone to sit for life on the highest court in the land.
