I grabbed the stats for the Niagara Region (living now) - homes $ vs median income, vs rent.
No bubble showed up here - the bubbling still seems to be the usual suspects - Vancouver, TO, Calgary

I know this is OT, but I just want to see Bill Black put in charge of financial reform and have his plan 100%, completely implemented. No compromise.
That way I can stop feeling such utter disgust.
More pure outrage than bearish.

When you say Biotech, are you referring to any bio based advancements broadly (bio-engineering, tissue engineering, bioinformatics, cybernetics, etc), or something more specific?
Do you disagree with more VC money only, or also public money? How come?

I've been into working out for a while, and there has been changes in the body of knowledge from the 90's on. The emphasis now is on 'functional' movements - what is natural for the human body. So, the move is away from assistive technologies as they found these cause unnatural movements and lead to injury. Less is more. free weights vs machines, barefoot vs flashy nike runners, compound movements vs isolation. Crossfit is in. So is deadlifts, squats & press, pulls.
Contrary to angel et al above, I've heard that the evidence is that activity, even intense, not only is not damaging, but protects joints. Many joint problems were due to improper musculature - again caused by things like running shoes, restrictive machines,etc.

it's all bad news stuff - sugar, corn syrup, etc. I have family dealing with the devastating damage this does to ones health. It's worse than most people realize. Besides diabetes you risk full blown cirrhosis of the liver. Destroys your life - perpetual nuasea, dementia via encephalopathy, ascites, the list goes on.

Honey is less bad.
Sugar alcohols are better, except maltitol - not good
agave is iffy, Dr. Eades thinks it's worse than corn syrup

I love erythritol. No bad news found yet, and it tastes great!

For some reason I have been really interested in Detroit. There was a blog about Detroit reverting back to nature. I was just googling for it, but got this instead:

Just watched the whole 26min. If you want to see nature shots go to the 17min mark. But I recommend the whole clip. Really well done.
