I called this morning and was able to get through to her voicemail. You might try again.

KPFA seems to always either be in crisis or recovering from crisis. I used to live in San Francisco and...

I doubt it has anything to do with Israel or Trump. Flashpoints every day at 5pm is most often intensely focused on Israel and their suppression of the Palestinians, and that show continues on.

Seems like Mike McGuire has done a fabulous job. Anything in particular you don't like about him?

I suppose you didn't check out the link to the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center where, with county cooperation, are testing a medium scale composting toilet solution for their retreat center and...

Occidental Arts & Ecology Center continues to use the compost toilets from the old Farallones Institute - legally, and they also have a large scale compost toilet project underway right now that...

Many things grow better here in the fall (planted Aug/Sep) than any other time of year. You can get excellent seeds at many places, including the Seed Bank in Petaluma.

Try having a booth at the Sebastopol farmer's market and sign people up there. How about an introductory discount?

That would be unreasonable, considering that they don't make these credit card machines at the pump. As soon as a manufacturer designs a tamper proof device, someone figures out a way around it....

I've had an LG front loader that I got from Home Depot for about 5 years. Works great so far.

Probably best not to buy a used washer, unless you can't afford a new one.

Arsenic is insoluble in water. Here is an article about the issues: https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-much-arsenic-is-in-your-rice/index.htm

It does say that washing the...

I'm just trying to figure out if your idea is better than what we have right now. I don't think it's a good idea to route non-Barlow traffic through the Barlow.

Until the bridge is complete, it's...

So Barlow traffic can already use Morris. If Whole Foods and downtown traffic turns right on Morris, would they go through the Barlow, or go Laguna Park Way past the police station and take a right...

Are you suggesting that traffic be routed through the Barlow?

It's not that simple. The current center turn lane stops far enough back for about 16 cars to be in a 2nd lane and be ready to turn left on Main street at the following intersection. If the center...

Alcohol is taxed at $3.30 per gallon plus sales tax.

I'm curious how you think you're going to get that kind of help from your smart meter. I've had one for 3 years and I don't get any more information about usage than I got with my old meter. I'm...

I don't agree with your idea to park there close to the building. That will probably attract more people to shop there, as it will look like the place is popular.

There are only 3 candidates plus a write-in candidate who can fill two slots. Since you don't think Mr. Greenberg is qualified to be elected, who are the two that you do support?

Whoa there. Unless you know the family, you're making a lot of assumptions about a personal situation that has nothing to do with the original question that was asked. Sure, in some circumstances...

I'm insured by Ameriprise through Costco. They have an enormous discount for additional vehicles. I used to be with AAA, which is a great company. I'm still an AAA member. However, when I got a quote...

Jeez. Is it too much to ask to have a breather from the rancor around this campaign? How about until September when the signs go back up.

In case you're not keeping up with the delegate vote totals, it's almost for certain that Hillary Clinton will arrive at the convention with more pledged delegates than Bernie Sanders. The Sanders...

I'm sure you realize that this video was designed to highlight the worst aspects of Hillary Clinton's career, and as such, is unbalanced and thus unfair. I didn't watch the entire video, but I have...

You didn't give a lot of details about the type and status of your lymphoma. I wish you good luck with the cannabis treatment, and any other alternative treatments as well. I hope you're also looking...

I watched most of this series last year, and I agree with a lot of what is said on your link below, which is primarily that this series is extremely biases and provides a lot of misinformation and...

I had no problem verifying my registration online using the link you provided below.

Wow. Have you been watching Trump at the debates and at his rallies? And you would still vote for him over Hillary? Unbelievable.

That's the same argument that Donald Trump is using for his campaign. Experience in the private sector "trumps" experience in the government sector. I don't think so... unless serving at the highest...

Tommy,

Seems like you don't support Tom and perhaps don't like him. But, to bring up his act of civil disobediance from so long ago and use it to say he should be disqualified from the race is at...

Isn't this woman entitled to her opinion? Rather than argue with her position you attack her personally, question her priorities, and imply that she doesn't care about homeless people (which despite...

Seems like the only way to stop or modify the project is through a ballot initiative. There is no indication from the City Council that they are listening to critics.

I think there are pretty strict rules about Medi-Cal eligibility. Definitely low income and I think a limit of the total assets you can have. Do you think it is fair under our current system to have...

What's your point? There are already plenty of people on this thread that are disturbed by her moving to Sebastopol just to run for office. Are you implying that progressives have less integrity than...

Where are you getting your information about the climate agreement? First, it's voluntary. And it condemns the world to at least 3 degrees celcius.

Note that Sebastopol is only a small part of the 5th district, which covers the coast, lower river area, Sebastopol, and West and Southwest Santa Rosa to Hwy 101....

Although I am concerned about the expansion of the wine industry, this logic seems oversimplified and extreme. Over consumption of almost anything - not just wine - can ruin lives. Wine is an...

You didn't read my link very carefully - you read the part of the article that said right-wing websites (like the one you site) are misquoting the report, whereas the actual numbers are that 50.5...

You say you only look at facts, so why do you only site opinion pieces like the one below and the video you posted later. You haven't sited any reputable references in this thread as of yet. You're...

It seems that you're not even checking your own sources. The link to Forbes is from a contributor, Larry Bell, in which the magazine disavows any endorsement of his opinion. Here is one of his books:...

If you read the Pew Research Center study, you would find that none of their interpretations of the reduction in crime and gun violence are attributed to gun sales. It's only the biased opinion piece...

The main thing that you need to understand is that the $76.6 billion represents the assessed value of taxable property in Sonoma County. The actual tax that the county receives is a fraction of that.

The author of the first article speculates whether having six large publishing companies control over half of the published article is a problem. The 2nd article says fraud has increased from 10 per...

Everything on the blog promotes his products. All of the posts give a brief summary of the subject, and without giving any information, lead to a recording that you can purchase with the real...

The CDC website lists links to independent studies - one done in Europe - that have statistics regarding the effectiveness of the vaccines. As far as Dr. Brownstein, I can't comment at all on whether...

This article seems to contradict Dr. Brownstein's claims about the effectiveness of the vaccines:

Richard,

The reason why I originally responded to this post is that a few people on this list were wondering the exact same question, as if their conclusions about Whole Foods are obvious and...

Yes I do think there are consipiracies, which is what it would have to be if it's a regional or company wide policy to overcharge customers.

Maybe Whole Foods management in NYC is corrupt and did...

Dixon,

This is almost in the realm of conspiracy theory. Does it seem possible to you that the company would have a policy, implemented down through the chain of command, to purposely misprice and...

Since Whole Foods is incredibly successful and is generally considered the most healthy grocery chain in the country, they must be doing something right. Much of the criticism is valid, but as a...

There are a lot of real wing nuts in power in various state governments in the U.S. In Kansas the legislator who led the effort to condemn Agenda 21 now wants to ban sustainability. The Missouri...
