>> Sometimes veggies when the local farmers' market opens in summer. You may not have heard of it but we actually have a couple freezers. You can put just about anything in them.

Alaska to Washington state: If you don’t like Shell’s Arctic fleet, get rid of Boeing, too by illustr8r • 04/09/2015 • 13 Comments image: http://iotwreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/shell-300x191.jpg – via Q13News Seattle– JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — If officials in Washington state refuse to allow Royal Dutch Shell to base its Arctic drilling fleet in Seattle over environmental concerns, members of the Alaska Legislature suggest they consider getting rid of Boeing, too. A resolution, from Alaska House Speaker Mike Chenault, a Republican, suggests public officials in Washington state consider closing the Boeing production plant if they are truly concerned with carbon dioxide emissions from commercial activity. Environmental groups are challenging the Port of Seattle’s decision to lease one of its terminals as a home port for Shell’s Arctic oil-drilling fleet. The groups say the port broke state law in signing a lease with Foss Maritime Co. Foss’ client is Royal Dutch Shell PLC. The resolution invites Shell to put its home port in Alaska if the Seattle lease is terminated. *** Granny Treehugger ™ and her ilk in their rainbow shirts and birkenstocks have been holding signs and shouting environmental nonsense for months about coal trains, oil trains and now Shell Oils’ Arctic Fleet. This snarky proposal from the gentleman in Alaska may actually gain traction with unintended approval since Kshama Sawant ( Seattle City Council’s resident Socialist) really wants to dissolve Boeing so it’s “workers” can make…buses. This freakin’ state…mutterstoself Read more at http://iotwreport.com/?p=281461#fEiRXDkv0lYPU2Rs.99

Your heroes at work. Makes ya proud to support them, I'm sure. Junior varsity, huh? ISIS impregnates 9-year-old girl A 9-year-old girl is pregnant after being raped by ISIS savages in Iraq, a report said. “The abuse she has suffered left her mentally and physically traumatized,” said Yousif Daoud, a Canadian-based aid worker who recently returned from the region. “This girl is so young she could die if she delivers a baby. Even cesarean section is dangerous.” At least 10 different men with the Islamic State were said to have sexually assaulted the child, the Toronto Star reported. “Most of them were front-line fighters or suicide bombers who are given girls as a reward,” Daoud explained. “She was in very bad shape.” The young girl was one of over 200 Yazidi women and children to be released this week after spending eight months captive in the hands of the extremists, according to the Canadian newspaper. Daoud claimed that many of the women and young girls who were set free by ISIS would be shamed when reunited with their families, due to suspicions that they had been defiled by the militants. “If they are married, their husbands won’t take them back if they are pregnant,” he said. “And it’s clear that the babies will never be accepted.” “I don’t know what the future would be for their babies,” Daoud added. “The girls and women don’t want them. They have suffered so much they just want to forget.” The 9-year-old girl has been transported by a Kurdish aid group to a medical charity in Germany, according to the Toronto Star. She will be looked after there until her baby arrives.
