"It takes a village to raise a child"; "Ongoing crisis in masculinity" What do you think?
Posted on March 3, 2011 at 11:05am 1 Comment 4 Likes
Jackson Katz argues that widespread violence in American society, including the tragic school shootings in Littleton, Colorado, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and elsewhere, needs to be understood as part of an ongoing crisis in masculinity. Tough Guise is the first educational video geared toward college and high school students to systematically examine the relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st…

So I planted some seeds and I will be able to transplant and give you some seedlings soon. I have some brussel sprouts, beets, onions and is they come up, also some bok choy. You could plant some carrots seeds and try radishes (don't always cooperate and might go to seed rather than making a radish) too. Those don't transplant well.
For salads, arugula and some hardy spinach would grow well right now and in the winter.
I will let you know when I have the seedlings ready.
so long,
Jana

- Hi KEG,
Yes, mushroom manure delivery is big operation. We had such a heap. We shared with the neighbourhood and haven't any left...I hope you can find some, or hold out till next spring.

Hi Karen,
Unfortunately there is nothing set up for ride shares from Vancouver. You may want to post something on the Slow Food Vancouver Facebook page and see if you get any response that way?? We always do a survey after the event to those who have registered online as we have their email addresses. So maybe we can add something about the need for ride sharing and see how many people would be interested. Then based on the need look into providing this service for next year, or at least set up an ride sharing board. I hope something works out for you this year. It would be great to have you join us :)

Hi Karen,
We're thinking about Wed, March 23rd for the next Arts & Celebrations gathering. Can you update your doodle, so we can see if that works for everyone?
Thanks.

Send me a note to maryinvancouver@gmail.com reminding me and I'll send along. (I check email more often than the vv site.) - Mary (Oh, and yum and thank you for the new year food.)

Hi Karen,
Welcome to our Health Group. We've haven't really activated yet and are quite small, but I've been thinking about bringing people together in the group to share a meal and see what ideas come out of it.
