Boing Boing's Xeni Jardin, a breast cancer survivor, talks with Michael Backes, medical marijuana R&D expert and author of the book "Cannabis Pharmacy" (2014). How to use vaporizers, how to dose correctly for different forms of therapeutic relief, the difference between smoking, edibles, and vaporizers, and why temperature matters are among the topics covered. This video, in an underwritten series on the benefits and uses of medical marijuana, is sponsored by Ascent's DaVinci: a glass-on-glass, temperature-controllable personal vaporizer for people who care about quality.</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Jeffrey Brewer, president and CEO of JDRF, issued the following statement today in response to a new study showing an increase in T1D among young people in the United States. According to the latest SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the prevalence of T1D in people under age 20 rose by 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">“This alarming growth in T1D, if unabated, means the prevalence of the disease would double for every future generation, resulting in massive new health care spending in federal entitlement programs and the private health care market,” said Mr. Brewer. “But even as the T1D rate rises, researchers funded by JDRF and other private foundations, coupled with federal initiatives like the Special Diabetes Program, are making remarkable strides across an array of diabetes research frontiers, from treatments to reverse vision loss, to technology like the artificial pancreas, to vaccines, and to new forms of insulin. ……read more at <a href="https://jdrf.org/press-releases/jdrf-comments-on-new-study-showing-23-percent-increase-in-type-1-diabetes-among-american-youth/">JDRF.org</a></span></span></span></span></div>

2014 is the year of the green wood horse, a high energy year of rapid progress, unexpected and fleeting opportunity, potential for scandals and for those with a business involving wood or fire 2014 will be a particularly lucky year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chinese New year began on the new moon of the 31st in the tiger month of January, and will continue until the full moon on Feb 14th, plenty of time to celebrate and observe ancient rituals for the new year and sacred meanings of symbolic foods like dumplings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dumplings/Jiaozi for Chinese New Year and Spring Celebration is a tradition dating back to the Sung dynasty. These luscious and delicate little bundles of exquisite flavors and textures are the original comfort food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Pictured above is a Green Tara dumpling in honor of the green wood horse. This is one of the beauties of dumpling making, creativity rules and the variations are endless. Master Chinese dumpling making and you are on your way to mastering the cousins of Chinese dumplings, momos, piorgi, vaenyaky, ravioli, tortellini among others, 'dumplings' in all their guises are universally loved.<br />
<br />
Dumpling making is easier than it looks and can be done solo, but much like tamale making at Christmas, labor intensive dumplings are reserved for celebrations. Making them is traditionally a community event involving friends and family, potentially a deliciously fun pre-party.<br />

Keep your first attempts simple with one or two fillings and start with the store bought round dumpling wrappers. After you have made them a few times I highly recommend the handmade dumpling wrapper, it's a little thicker than store bought and allows for all organic flour, addition of veggie colors and gluten free flours.<br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Dumpling Filling:</span></b></h3>
Finely minced ginger, garlic and green onion with lotus root or water chestnut for crunch is the foundation for multiple fillings and will be used in the two below. One part ginger-garlic mix to three parts vegetable mix.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here we have ingredients for two fillings<br />
<br />
On the left is a Green Tara ingredients: baby bok choy, edamame, broccoli, kale, baked tofu and shiitake mushroom for body, cilantro and thai basil.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Broccoli, spinach, bok choy, kale or napa cabbage should be lightly blanched for 60 seconds until bright green and immediately plunged into ice water to rapidly stop cooking. Place leafy green veggies in paper or cotton towels and squeeze as much liquid out as possible.</div>
<br />
On the right is Orange Tara ingredients : roasted delicata squash, shiitake, maitake and beech mushroom with baked sprouted tofu.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Kobucho squash or pumpkin are equally delish</i></span><br />
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br />
Hard winter squashes like pumpkin or kabocha can be placed whole in a 350º oven for 30-56 minutes to make cutting easier.<br />
<br />
Dumpling ingredients must be minced very fine.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvQtzN-PWWfLVz2koz6hAbwVpIgD74pV978dDunwbF_eU4mO1ZD-mOGeomFZKqD0CkEKuzdrtHNQvlZYbdTiuQjar-3lRf5d2gi5VwEs8s1jKNtxrCDU0zvOYiwvYYs4T-3i_L9KZAtQ/s1600/Chinese_Dumpling_Minced_Filling_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvQtzN-PWWfLVz2koz6hAbwVpIgD74pV978dDunwbF_eU4mO1ZD-mOGeomFZKqD0CkEKuzdrtHNQvlZYbdTiuQjar-3lRf5d2gi5VwEs8s1jKNtxrCDU0zvOYiwvYYs4T-3i_L9KZAtQ/s1600/Chinese_Dumpling_Minced_Filling_edited-1.jpg" height="171" width="640" /></a>Place 4oz minced veggies in a bowl, add 2-3oz ginger-garlic and green onion mix, add 1oz minced lotus, add a teaspoon or two of hoisen sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil to taste. And do taste as you the create your filling. Traditional Chinese dumplings use little or no garlic, Japanese gyoza uses much more garlic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Be careful that your filling does not get too wet.</div>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #38761d;"> <b>Assembly:</b></span></h3>
<b><i> <span style="color: #20124d;">Prepare your assembly area, everything must be prepped and ready to assemble before you start.</span></i></b><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyLrEqOPoRZcVqxDWFxB41Ied83q4g8nvczY4F4mVYGktHwe8-D4mcv5gXVKmMUKCdO14z2qWWvYuK9y6tkn9wFW1NWdsSqCt7vZwe7pIdVxrk9G4Er1cusCuqgdxlGFIjWr3ppiAwvU/s1600/Chinese_Dumpling_Set_Up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyLrEqOPoRZcVqxDWFxB41Ied83q4g8nvczY4F4mVYGktHwe8-D4mcv5gXVKmMUKCdO14z2qWWvYuK9y6tkn9wFW1NWdsSqCt7vZwe7pIdVxrk9G4Er1cusCuqgdxlGFIjWr3ppiAwvU/s1600/Chinese_Dumpling_Set_Up.jpg" height="214" width="320" /></a><br />
Do not try to rush the assembly, dumpling making is a mindfulness practice, much like Japanese Ikebana-flower arranging, and requires the maker surrender to the process.<br />
<br />
Have a clean cutting board, stack of dumpling wrappers, damp paper towel to keep skins from drying out and another to cover made up dumplings, a small dish of water to moisten dumpling edges and your pre made fillings neatly arranged for easily assembly. Extra minced ginger, chili paste or hoisen to add to dumplings for extra kick.<br />

<br />
Each dumpling skin will hold a rounded teaspoon of filling, chopsticks are perfect for picking up just the right amount of filling. Moisten the edges of the wrapper, and moisten edges again after making your fold.<br />
Select your dumpling fold, shown is a simple crescent fold with the edges crimped up towards the center as seen in the bottom picture, but be creative, invent your own fold! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and if you make your own skins your dumplings can be many colors. Try beet or pomegranate powder for pink dumplings, pumpkin powder for orange dumplings and spinach powder for green dumplings</div>

<span style="font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">As dumplings are assembled keep them covered with a damp paper towel. </span><br />
<h3>
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Freezing:</span></b></h3>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;">Dumplings of all kinds generally freeze very well. Dumpling may be placed on a cookie sheet in the freezer until frozen (1 hr) and transferred to a ziplock or freezer safe glass container for dumpling awesomeness anytime in the next 3 months. Frozen dumpling will need an additional 1-2 minutes cooking time</span></div>
<h3>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Cooking:</span></b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Method One: </b>boiling. Boiling requires a stock pot of boiling water with a dozenish dumplings added and as the water returns to a boil a cup of cool water is added to the pot. The cool water calms the boiling, the agitation from boiling can tear apart the dumplings and adding cool water slows the agitation. You will add cool water four times, allowing pot to return to a boil before each addition of cool water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Method Two:</b> pan fry/quick steam method commonly referred to as 'potstickers'. For this method you will take your freshly made dumplings and place them in a hot skillet with a little peanut oil, make sure the skillet is hot before adding oil. Add dumplings, add water until dumplings are half immersed, Cover and reduce heat to medium until boiled dry. Remove cover and turn dumplings over, add enough water to immerse 1/4 of each dumpling. Cover and boil dry, remove lid, dumplings should be golden brown and steamed through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Method Three:</b> steaming. Take a large stock pot of boiling water and place a bamboo steamer basket with raw dumpling atop the boiling water, cover and cook 10 minutes.</div>

3-4 minced garlic cloves<br />
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed chilies, and/or minced habanero, thai chili or jalapeño to taste<br />

Refrigerate. Excellent as a quick sauce for Asian noodle or rice and veggies dishes<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Taking aspirin at bedtime instead of in the morning might reduce acute heart events, according a new study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2013.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">There is a body of research that suggests the majority of </span><a href="http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Heart-attack/Pages/Introduction.aspx" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">heart attacks</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> occur in the morning. So taking aspirin before bedtime may be the better bet as it allows time for the medication to thin the blood, which reduces the risk of heart attack.</span><br />

Dr. Dean Ornish wants you to live longer, and have more fun while you're at it. He's one of the leading voices in the medical community promoting a balanced, holistic approach to health, and proving that it works. The author of <a href="http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061096273/Eat_More_Weigh_Less/index.aspx" style="color: #ff2b06; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Eat More, Weigh Less</em></a> and several other best-selling books, <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ornish is best known for his lifestyle-based approach to fighting heart disease</strong>.</div>

His research at the <a href="http://www.pmri.org/?p=0&pj=index" style="color: #ff2b06; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Preventive Medicine Research Institute</a> (the nonprofit he founded) clinically demonstrated that <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">cardiovascular illnesses -- and, most recently prostate cancer -- can be treated and even reversed through diet and exercise</strong>. These findings (once thought to be physiologically implausible) have been widely chronicled in the US media, including<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3037964/site/newsweek/" style="color: #ff2b06; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Newsweek</a>,</em> for which Ornish writes a column. The fifty-something physician, who's received many honors and awards, was chosen by <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">LIFE Magazine</em> as one of the most influential members of his generation. Among his many pursuits, Ornish is now working with food corporations to help stop America's obesity pandemic from spreading around the globe.</div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #070809; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">People who eat nuts, particularly walnuts, are more likely to live longer, finds research in BioMed Central's open access journal </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #070809; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><em>BMC Medicine</em></em><span style="background-color: white; color: #070809; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">. In a longitudinal study, researchers suggest that those who eat nuts more than three times a week have a reduced risk of dying from cancer or cardiovascular disease than non-nut eaters.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #070809; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;">People eating more than 3 servings (1 serving -- 28 g) a week of nuts reduced risk of death due to cardiovascular disease by 55% and cancer by 40%.</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #070809; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15px;"> …….<i>more at</i></span></span></span><br />
