Linda asks…

Where can I find locally-grown coffee in Vancouver?

Most folks on the drive know me as Bavarian Greenhorn, but for those of you who do not, I am a strong advocate for sustainable living. While I am most overjoyed by the accessibility of ethically harvested organic coffee on Commercial Drive, I am somewhat saddened by the lack of locally grown coffee beans. I questioned a barista at my FORMER coffee shop who proclaimed it is impossible to grow coffee beans locally – he definitely is not as supportive of sustainable living as I once had thought. So I am just wondering if there are any locally-grown coffee in the Vancouver area – preferably near Commercial drive as I have recently pulled a tendon in my left leg making bicycling far distanced quite exasperating. I choose not to use public transit since the fascist BC government decided to privatize what should be a public service. If you cannot suggest a local coffee shop that grows their own coffee, can you suggest a method to grow my own coffee? Any special methods? Thank you all and I await your replies.

With wholehearted sincerity,

-Bavarian Greenhorn

Well as a former chef and having worked in BC in both Victoria and Vancouver in the 1980’s for C.P Hotels, I now the climate except for certain areas of the Okanagan Valley would support it, it needs long warm moist temperatures, I worked in Jamaica at one time, not in the Blue Mountain region but we used pure organically grown and hand harvest BM coffee, you can grow a few plants in home hydroponically, but no one has attempted to do it on a large scale, Kicking Horse Coffee out of Calgary AB is a Eco-ethically produced product, I use it.

Sandy asks…

HELP????????????????PLEASE!!!?

.

Everything you perceive from earth, rocks, insects, trees, flowers and humans is composed of living consciousness, not of course of your same level of comprehension, but living matter nevertheless. Fortunately I know what you mean when you talk of aliens, so other than to say that the experience of even animals is so different that they could almost be classified as aliens to your world, and it is amazing that you can co-exist as well as you do. So we will not include other living consciousness less than your own or that you do not perceive, but try to limit our explanation to similar types of living beings that you would like to sit down with and enjoy conversation and a cup of coffee. We will not be considering animals here either or any of the countless realities that swirl through, around close to your own physical earth. You cannot perceive them, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist, and quite as real as your earth.

This subject covers so much ground that the best we can do is scratch the surface. I think one of the great ironies of your civilization at this stage of its development is the question “Are we alone?”, since you are not even alone on your own planet, but you will never meet an alien walking down the street, tip you hat and say “have a good day sir”. I hope you get the inference here that all aliens are not materialized in the same way you are, and the general rule is that you only see your OWN KIND. Why is this? It is because your perceptions are highly tuned to create (form) reality along certain lines, within certain highly specialized fields, and then to perceive what you have created that falls within those specific parameters. Other realities that have been created by others not like you, but just as valid, will be totally out of your range of perception, so to speak, and in physical terms, you will never be able to perceive them. That does not mean that you will forever be unable to communicate with them, and as your abilities grow, you will learn to use inner communications to contact other civilizations that you would otherwise be unable to sense using your physical perceptions.

There are literally countless physical and non-physical realities with beings at least equal to or more advanced than your own, swirling around, through and near your dear planet earth and you will never rub shoulders with them. They are as real as you are to their own kind, but to you they have no substance, seem to lack physical structure, and will remain invisible. They utilize the same properties of the earth as you do, but to them, your constructions do not exist. They will never bump into a pyramid or an empire state building, yet they might indeed walk through them, and you walk through their constructions every day.

Needless to say, there are countless realities that have no need for physical form and exist in what could only at this time be likened to your dream reality and of course, their experience, value satisfactions and growth is not dependent on atomic structure to the extent your is. They do not need a planet or a star to exist and could actually exist in what you would call empty space. Of course, to them, the space would not be empty at all, but filled with a different kind of psychic constructions, a reality, quite as real as your own. In your universe, there are countless systems of reality, and physical systems are not the norm. The most advanced entities and their home systems are NOT physical at all and the need for physical expression decreases as the inhabitants of any plane evolve and progress. The highest entities do not occupy physical systems, although they and others like themselves have created many systems, worlds and universes, even though they evolved from other systems and never experienced physical reality.
Now here is what you really want to know. There are what we could call “parallel realities”, that have originated within the same overall universal camouflage system as yours, gone on to other planets in your solar system and universe and DO HAVE the ability to travel through your same space, utilizing technologies far superior to anything you may now envision. These beings by the sheer nature of their advanced technologies do have the ability to traverse the immense distances required to reach other inhabited planets. Their technologies and advanced understanding is key.Yes, aliens do exist, but there is some clarification that must come first before concerning what you mean by aliens. Aliens do exist and if you want a wide interpretation of the word alien, includ

David asks…

I like my coffee in the morning!?

some facts about coffe below but I add suger to mine and that is bad for me but there is no way I will ever drink it black what do i do to keep it healthy and sweet but in a healthy way?

Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities?

If it sounds too good to be true, think again.

Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better.

Reducing Disease Risk
After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America’s favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men’s risk by 54% and women’s by 30% over java avoiders.

Though the scientists give the customary “more research is needed” before they recommend you do overtime at Starbuck’s to specifically prevent diabetes, their findings are very similar to those in a less-publicized Dutch study. And perhaps more importantly, it’s the latest of hundreds of studies suggesting that coffee may be something of a health food — especially in higher amounts.

In recent decades, some 19,000 studies have been done examining coffee‘s impact on health. And for the most part, their results are as pleasing as a gulp of freshly brewed Breakfast Blend for the 108 million Americans who routinely enjoy this traditionally morning — and increasingly daylong — ritual. In practical terms, regular coffee drinkers include the majority of U.S. adults and a growing number of children.

“Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful,” says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. “For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good.”

Consider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson’s, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.

Coffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. “People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don’t,” says DePaulis.

There’s also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost mood, and even prevent cavities.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I’d grow it if I could, but for now I’ll have to settle for the roasting to brewing for me.

I will only drink it black. If I need sugar, it’s not good enough. I know everyone has their own taste, that’s just mine.

The only thing that goes in my coffee is (in the evening) brandy, Irish Cream, Frangelico, Amaretto, or whiskey.

Ruth asks…

When will you stand for freedom, justice for all and ability to support your family in our great country?

The time is now my friend, now. It is time for you and me to do what ever you can do to make our country the best it can be. Simply by fallowing its laws, doing your best to be a productive, considerate person, as well as give of yourself in the form of a gift to charity or being a “Big Brother”
to a kid that needs validation and love. Things such as these do not take a lot of money to do and they may make a huge difference in a persons life. We can all participate in politics with out the name calling, bald face lies, and try to seek out worthy leaders. There are good people in this country that can lead us to better times. How can there not be? We are a creative bunch and will continue to be because of the greatness of our country’s diversity. We have brains from all over the world that come here as new American citizens and produce new and wonderful products the world buys. That is where our greatness is. We lead the world in many areas and will continue to do so.
Perhaps, we have forgotten how to be a good neighbor and help him if he has need. That is what I remember as a young boy growing up. My family helped anyone that needed help if they were able
to do so. I am very proud of being in a country in europe discussing our system with a complete stranger and being able to say we care about every body and especially of our own people in need. I have said to them “I know you don’t think we have poor people, but unfortunately we do”. We should not have poor in our country. There is no reason for it. Anytime we can give countries billions of tax dollars because they are our allies and they serve our interests does not excuse the fact our schools are falling a part and our teachers are laid off because of a budget that has fallen low on funds. The biggest of the turn offs for me is when kids graduate from school and cannot find a job., any job. Yes, we do have a great country with great people. Like children that at times get too much of everything and play with a toy for a minute before they throw it to the back, we as citizens also fail to see the good we have and do little to keep it except argue about non issues and poke fun of our next leader for the hell of it. We call each other names, question the Americanism we have and have the audacity to say to an other American “you should go back to where you came from”.
A great Idea is to get up with a smile, thank God you have a hot cup of coffee to start your day, then go do a good deed. Nothing has to be on a grand scale, just a little hello there and a smile over there!
