It's amazing how PigFarmer has so much time on his hands. Also how full of spite he is and how much he likes to sow negativity. Also interesting that he has a vendetta again certain people, such as OT, yet he only fairly recently started posting on Ranchers. Where did all that venom come from...

Agree Alabama, nice website. Where is Bertram? How's the market for your type of products in Texas? I know it would be good in Austin. How about elsewhere?

It depends upon the reason for inaccuracy. False positives? False negatives? Because the prion disease is not advanced enough yet? Because of human error? Because other conditions cause the same results?

Live-Animal Test for BSE? A US lab and a Canadian company both claim new live-animal assay for prion disorder By Doug Payne Getty Images/Handout The discovery of even a single case of mad cow disease can be economically devastating. Since May 2003, three cases of the prion disease have been...

Safeway just came up with a new packaging ploy -- "Rancher's Choice". What rancher, who knows? That's on top of the multiple organic brands they sell. Whole Foods Market and Harris Teeter are thriving and replacing the local chains. I noticed in Santa Fe that some of the restaurants serve...

The man in charge of UK surveillance, Dr. Robert Will, briefed one month ago that 2004 had seen a slight increase in vCJD onsets from 2003. So it's not clear it's "on the decline" unless you wish to claim you know more that the scientist in charge of surveillance in the country that knows the...

Actually 2004 saw a slight increase in vCJD onsets from 2003... A couple of years in the life of a mysterious disease is not a full picture my friend.

And we are very lucky that few people actually are susceptible to vCJD it appears or it takes decades to develop and the UK and Europe will have a shock in about 15 years. No reason for the US and Canada to rush in where the UK and Europe has been and wishes to h**l they hadn't.

I'm middle aged and we too referred to bulls as "he cows" some of the time. Hah. Very interesting. I agree that rural people have good manners instilled in them. As MLA would say, the superego is stronger in small towns.

CP - Is Palestine worse situated vis a vis Rita than Austin? I just looked at Google Maps and it looks like they are a similar distance away from Houston and north, albeit Palestine is directly north of Houston and Austin is to the west. I know Austin just gets bad rain and an occasional...

I do think the violent and pornographic television and movies have something to do with it personally. My kids can be exposed to such things because their parents and their schools have given them strong values but lots of families and schools don't have those values or don't bother to impart...

Are you guys out to lunch or what? Babies died on the streets of New Orleans due to heat exhaustion. MSNBC Joe Scarborough a staunch Republican and previously strong support of this administration is fed up to here with how the greatest country in the world (huh?) has reacted to this crisis...

Some think they are being spied on. When new people come on, they assume that they are moles from pharmaceuticals or PETA. It's ironic because what is so significant about the forum that would be of value to moles? Also, why always ascribe such bad intentions to people? Maybe people are just...

Do you think there are more wierdos than there were when I was in college back 35 years ago? Reading the blogs about Taylor Behl (VCU freshman)'s disappearance the 38 year old she hung out with, I'm wondering if there are more wierdos because of the the Internet, because of media influence...

But all the news is about the Jet Blue about to make an emergency landing at LAX.

I missed those as well, ranchwife. And one more - oh yeah, amount of fat in a low fat item.

There's some hilarious paranoia on this forum but once you get past that, you'll enjoy the company.

Humans can infect other humans with CJD (via blood) several years before they manifest symptoms. I have NO idea why anyone would be so dumb as to think that it is only when you manifest symptoms that you can transmit a disease. Is that true for other diseases? And in fact, it now appears...
