Actually, sushimi is the proper word for raw the fish itself. Sushi is the word for the way the sashimi is prepared, which includes the rice, the nori, the vegetables, condiments, and so forth.Sushi is usually prepared with raw fish - this is usual. But it can be cooked fish, or sometimes not even made with fish at all (vegetarian style). Nearly all sushi chefs in the west are Japanese born, so whether west or east, this dish is usually prepared correctly unless you are going to a very low establishment, and I would never eat somewhere where the chef was not a licensed sushi chef.

By looking at the rice, PH, I always have wondered how it stays glued like that. Sushi ain't my favorite. Where I work at the ballpark, there's a sushi bar there, too. My eye doctor, a she, loves that place.

I may get lobster today when I go to Costco.

I know. They make it moist enough to form shapes, but loose enough to fall apart in your mouth. The secret is the vinegar.

Vinegar?? Shows you what I know about sushi: nothing.

"There was an extraordinary campaign by the denial machine to find and hire scientists to sow dissent and make it appear that the research community was deeply divided," says Dan Becker of the Sierra Club. Those recruits blitzed the media. Driven by notions of fairness and objectivity, the press "qualified every mention of human influence on climate change with 'some scientists believe,' where the reality is that the vast preponderance of scientific opinion accepts that human-caused [greenhouse] emissions are contributing to warming," says Reilly, the former EPA chief. "The pursuit of balance has not done justice" to the science. Talk radio goes further, with Rush Limbaugh telling listeners this year that "more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not likely to significantly contribute to the greenhouse effect. It's just all part of the hoax." In the new NEWSWEEK Poll, 42 percent said the press "exaggerates the threat of climate change."
Now naysayers tried a new tactic: lists and petitions meant to portray science as hopelessly divided. Just before Kyoto, S. Fred Singer released the "Leipzig Declaration on Global Climate Change." Singer, who fled Nazi-occupied Austria as a boy, had run the U.S. weather-satellite program in the early 1960s. In the Leipzig petition, just over 100 scientists and others, including TV weathermen, said they "cannot subscribe to the politically inspired world view that envisages climate catastrophes." Unfortunately, few of the Leipzig signers actually did climate research; they just kibitzed about other people's. Scientific truth is not decided by majority vote, of course (ask Galileo), but the number of researchers whose empirical studies find that the world is warming and that human activity is partly responsible numbered in the thousands even then. The IPCC report issued this year, for instance, was written by more than 800 climate researchers and vetted by 2,500 scientists from 130 nations."
One report of man-made global warming had "scientists" that had nothing to do with climate. I am not closed-minded, but, all I see is evidence that there is a small amount of warming ( .7 degree celsius) and increases in co2. I have not been shown a causal relationship. Until then I will continue to believe that it is a coincidence.
"For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests".
Alexander Hamilton, 1787 (After the Constitutional Convention)

No relationship???

Let me tell you something, each one of those peaks in CO2 and temperature was enough to initiate climate change and send the earth into an ice age. Well, look at the CO2 level for present day. And CO2 levels are predicted to multiply exponentially in the near future if we don't change our ways.

All the data points to the conclusion that atmospheric CO2 levels are climbing beyond unprecedented levels, and that the only new variable that has been shown to cause this phenomena is human activity by omitting large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Which shows that on it's present course, capitalism is in the very least ecologically unsustainable. On it's present course, capitalism will very well destroy itself.

Which is quite ironic considering many of capitalism's most ardent defenders proclaim that it is the most natural economic system devised (as they site natural selection, etc.). And yet even limited capitalism can't sustain itself naturally (both in terms of humans as a species-being, and environmentally).
