			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My wife and I are following the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0yyYUn2X5Q" target="_blank">Primal Blueprint</a>, and we&#8217;ve got a question for you fellow Primal people out there. Our first-grader&#8217;s classroom is organized as a &#8220;garden,&#8221; and twice per academic year each child is &#8220;gardener of the week.&#8221; Among other things, that child brings in snacks for the class every day of that week.</p>
<p>This is easy for kids whose parents will pack them Oreos. Our pantry has only real food in it.</p>
<p>So, what do you all suggest we pack when our Veronica is gardener of the week? We need four separate snacks, one for each of the four days she&#8217;ll be doing it. They need to meet these criteria: (1) be Primal, (2) be something Veronica can eat (dairy and almonds are out for her), (3) be something that won&#8217;t be over-the-top expensive, and (4) seem non-lame to non-Primal kids.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>(Be sure to follow <a href="http://primalcooks.blogspot.com" target="_blank">my wife&#8217;s great blog</a> for our Primal experiences!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a chance last month to speak to the convention of the <a href="http://www.cspoa.org/" target="_blank">Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association</a>. I talked about nullification, the book and the concept. (I note that Amazon has only <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057D8U2U/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thomacom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0057D8U2U" target="_blank">six copies left at $10</a>; after that it&#8217;s back to the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596981490?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thomacom-20&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;creativeASIN=1596981490" target="_blank">$16.47</a> ones.) Not much new here for longtime readers; I gave my basic overview because I assumed the audience was relatively new to the subject. The main significance is that over 100 sheriffs and peace officers were in the room. Naturally, YouTube chooses a still shot of me with my hands up&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com" target="_blank">Tenth Amendment Center</a> reports:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">State and local resistance to detention provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act continues to snowball.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">On Tuesday, the Virginia House overwhelming passed “A BILL to prevent any agency, political subdivision, employee, or member of the military of Virginia from assisting an agency of the armed forces of the United States in the conduct of the investigation, prosecution, or detention of a citizen in violation of the United States Constitution, the Constitution of Virginia, or any Virginia law or regulation.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The House of Delegates approved <a href="http://app.streamsend.com/c/15648035/111/xbj20I8/urb99fh41u?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.tenthamendmentcenter.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fndaa-nullification-passes-virginia-house-96-4%2F" target="_blank">HB1160</a> 96-4. It now moves on to the Virginia Senate for consideration.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Arizona Senate Border Security, Federalism and States Sovereignty Committee approved <a href="http://app.streamsend.com/c/15648035/113/xbj20I8/urb99fh41u?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.tenthamendmentcenter.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fndaa-nullification-bill-passes-arizona-senate-committee-6-1%2F%23more-10665" target="_blank">SB1182</a> 6-1, bringing it one step away from a full Senate vote. The bill, “prohibits this state and agencies of this state from participating in the implementation of Sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012 and classifies the act of attempting to enforce or enforcing these sections as a class 1 misdemeanor.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Arizona and Virginia legislatures join lawmakers in Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Washington considering laws or resolutions pushing back against NDAA detention. And sources close to the Tenth Amendment Center and the Bill of Rights Defense Committee indicate several more states will follow suit in the next two weeks. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Resistance to indefinite detention without due process is not limited to states. Six local governments have passed resolutions condemning sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA. Earlier this week, the Town Council of Macomb, N.Y. unanimously passed a resolution, and Fairfax, Calif. approved a similar resolution 4-1. On Wednesday, New Shoreham, R.I. also passed a resolution opposing NDAA detention.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Most Americans recognize that the federal government rarely, if ever, relinquishes power once it grasps it. So state and local governments are taking James Madison’s words to heart and interposing on behalf of their citizens,” Tenth Amendment Center communications director Mike Maharrey said.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Some argue that sections 1021 and 1022 don’t actually authorize indefinite detention of persons on U.S. soil, but Maharrey says their assurances shouldn’t provide much comfort.</p>
<p>“The very fact that so many legal experts come up with so many diverse readings of those NDAA sections should give us all pause,” he said. &#8220;The language is vague and undefined. Are we really going to trust the judgment and good intentions of Pres. Obama or whichever Republican sits in the White House to protect us? That seems like a pretty bad plan.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">To track state and local resistance to NDAA detention, click <a href="http://app.streamsend.com/c/15648035/115/xbj20I8/urb99fh41u?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Ftenthamendmentcenter.com%2Fnullification%2Fndaa%2F" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been getting a lot &#8212; and I mean <em>a lot</em>, or I wouldn&#8217;t be writing this &#8212; of inquiries from readers, particularly since becoming a regular fill-in host on the <a href="http://www.schiffradio.com" target="_blank">Peter Schiff Show</a>, regarding whether I have any intention of starting a show of my own. I&#8217;ll say this: I&#8217;m definitely interested.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m not sure exactly how to proceed, and I&#8217;m interested in your thoughts. An online network (which also syndicates some programming to traditional radio), GCN, has expressed interest, but they&#8217;d want me to shell out thousands of dollars for equipment, something I&#8217;m not sure I want to do. A traditional podcast has its benefits, but I like the discipline that a Monday-through-Friday show would impose on me. Otherwise I&#8217;m afraid the podcasts would become irregular and infrequent.</p>
<p>What do you all think? What options exist for me? I know BlogTalkRadio is out there, but their platform seems clunky to me.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d love to have a one-hour show with a format similar to Peter&#8217;s: I open the show by myself, commenting on whatever, maybe take a couple calls, then spend time with a guest, then back to me, then end of show. The show can then be downloaded later for people who weren&#8217;t listening live.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input!</p>
