Just putting your meat in a marinade of beer can eliminate almost 70 percent of carcinogens from the meat, a Portuguese study found. That might not transfer to drinking the beer, but who doesn’t love a good beer marinade? If you do just drink it, though, it does contain loads of helpful antioxidants that can keep you healthy.
Increases Brain Health
Researchers think that a few beers a day can also stave off Alzheimer’s and can reduce your risk of stroke. In 2005, a study was done of 11,000 older women, and those who had one beer a day had better mental function than those who didn’t. In fact, they decreased their risk of mental decline by as much as 20 percent. The Harvard School of Public Health also did a study that showed that a few beers a day might reduce the risk of stroke by thinning the blood and preventing blood clots from traveling to the brain.] Read more: http://www.care2.com/causes/6-health-benefits-of-drinking-beer.html#ixzz2NxDwJeXb
One of the thingss my parents taught me when a wee lad was my a man--a real man--never raises his hand to a woman. .........................................................
[....This week, the Internet got angry at Sara Naomi Lewkowicz. The 30-year-old photographer had the audacity to photograph domestic violence – and to publish the photos in a major magazine just as Congress was debating the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
In the photos, we see a 31-year-old man named Shane throw his 19-year-old girlfriend Maggie against a set of kitchen cabinets. He traps her with his body against a kitchen counter. He chokes her. At one point, her 2-year-old-daughter walks in and stamps her feet as she sees what’s happening.
Mostly, my modesty would prevent me from writing about a "lady" who put poison in her lady parts in an attempt to kill her husband. Words fail me.
[A Brazilian woman has been accused of trying to kill her husband by putting poison in her vagina and asking him to have oral sex with her.
The intended victim — identified only as a 43-year-old man from Sao de Jose Rio Preto – knew something was going on when he noticed an unfamiliar odor coming from his wife’s freshly poisoned nether region.
But here’s the thing about vaginas, as this woman soon learned: They are very porous.
Realizing that his wife was probably absorbing a majority of the poison she had intended to kill him with, he brought her to the hospital and saved her life.
This guy! He is totally down to perform oral sex 24/7 and will generously rush you to the emergency room after you try to kill him. And they say chivalry is dead!] chivalry lives http://www.salon.com/2013/01/30/death_by_cunnilingus/
[WASHINGTON—With the dramatic, across-the-board sequestration scheduled to occur this week, the nation’s leading economists have warned that President Obama and Congress must come to a compromise on the budget by Mar. 1, and then again by Apr. 1, and then Apr. 20, Apr. 28, and—after Congress is once again unable to come to a comprehensive agreement to fully stabilize the economy—May 1, along with agreements twice a week, every week, for the next four years.
Experts say that without reaching a deal this Friday, the automatic $85 billion reduction in government spending will immediately slow the U.S. economy and impact thousands of middle-class citizens. Officials said the same exact thing will happen next month, the month after that, and the month after that if Obama and Congress fail to meet deadlines created by the preceding, incomplete deals.] http://www.theonion.com/articles/obama-congress-must-reach-deal-on-budget-by-march,31460/?ref=auto
Sent to fight illegal and immoral wars based on falsehoods, and serving in a system that condones and maybe even countenances rape, they now try to live under the burden of traumatic stress and become homeless after coming home.
Is this a great country or what?
[Even as the Pentagon lifts the ban on women in combat roles, returning servicewomen are facing a battlefield of a different kind: they are now the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, an often-invisible group bouncing between sofa and air mattress, overnighting in public storage lockers, living in cars and learning to park inconspicuously on the outskirts of shopping centers to avoid the violence of the streets.
While male returnees become homeless largely because of substance abuse and mental illness, experts say that female veterans face those problems and more, including the search for family housing and an even harder time finding well-paying jobs. But a common pathway to homelessness for women, researchers and psychologists said, is military sexual trauma, or M.S.T., from assaults or harassment during their service, which can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder.]
Actual living and breathing and presumably somewhat sentient parents enrolled their kids in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) training classes and allow their precious progeny to enter combat in the freakin' octagon. As if pee wee football not dangerous enough by causing concussions with effects accumulating over a lifetime to cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Your long suffering commentator shouldn't even have to break this down for the pencil neck geeks pushing/allowing their kids into MMA fights. The bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons have to fully mature, allowing the possibility of greater injury more possible.
Extreme Youth Sports: Have they lost their minds? Kids this age have little self control, especially in a situation bringing out aggression. The "insane" arm bar the winner used could splinter one in a split second, and a kid using it is literally insane.
Years ago, I interviewed perhaps the greatest wrestler who ever lived: Lou Thesz. Mr.Thesz wrestled freestyle and Greco Roman in high school and turned pro at age 16 in an age when even though outcomes came scripted, wrestlers had to protect themselves in case their opponent went off script, protect themselves with actual wrestling, not this showboat carnival crap purveyed to audiences today. Damn youse, Vincent K McMahon Jr!
Mr. Thesz trained hard all over the world, becoming a hooker, one who knew wrestling moves called hooks, which could legitimately cripple people. At the age of 83, he demonstrated the double wrist lock on me, and I felt how he could rip my arm out of my shoulder joint.
So yes, let your kids train in karate, wrestling, and the sweet science of boxing.
But let them in a ring for an actual fight? Never in a million years, at least until they go to high school.
Just for grins, look at the beer swilling, overweight, cholesterol challenged white bums in the audience living their lives on gratuitous child on child violence, seen in 1st link above.
Imagine that, food companies in their greed make a science out of making crap food that has addictive qualities. You really can't eat just 1 Lays potato chip. Salt, fat, crunch and mouth feel combine to make our mouths water andour brains crave like Pavlov's salivating dog.
[....Mudd then did the unthinkable. He drew a connection to the last thing in the world the C.E.O.’s wanted linked to their products: cigarettes. First came a quote from a Yale University professor of psychology and public health, Kelly Brownell, who was an especially vocal proponent of the view that the processed-food industry should be seen as a public health menace: “As a culture, we’ve become upset by the tobacco companies advertising to children, but we sit idly by while the food companies do the very same thing. And we could make a claim that the toll taken on the public health by a poor diet rivals that taken by tobacco....”
What happened next was not written down. But according to three participants, when Mudd stopped talking, the one C.E.O. whose recent exploits in the grocery store had awed the rest of the industry stood up to speak. His name was Stephen Sanger, and he was also the person — as head of General Mills — who had the most to lose when it came to dealing with obesity. Under his leadership, General Mills had overtaken not just the cereal aisle but other sections of the grocery store. The company’s Yoplait brand had transformed traditional unsweetened breakfast yogurt into a veritable dessert. It now had twice as much sugar per serving as General Mills’ marshmallow cereal Lucky Charms. And yet, because of yogurt’s well-tended image as a wholesome snack, sales of Yoplait were soaring, with annual revenue topping $500 million. Emboldened by the success, the company’s development wing pushed even harder, inventing a Yoplait variation that came in a squeezable tube — perfect for kids. They called it Go-Gurt and rolled it out nationally in the weeks before the C.E.O. meeting. (By year’s end, it would hit $100 million in sales.)
So why are the diabetes and obesity and hypertension numbers still spiraling out of control? It’s not just a matter of poor willpower on the part of the consumer and a give-the-people-what-they-want attitude on the part of the food manufacturers. What I found, over four years of research and reporting, was a conscious effort — taking place in labs and marketing meetings and grocery-store aisles — to get people hooked on foods that are convenient and inexpensive.] emphasis added to highlight greed
Consider it a rhetorical question, for surely these abusive behaviors stem from control issues, plus an unhealthy dose of mental illness. Considering my marriage to a bi polar female, I can almost sympathize because they can push every button and get on nerves you never even knew you had.
Like when the Patriots won their first Super Bowl, i woke up tp an unending stream of verbal abuse, with her screaming at me I planned to go to a party without her, an accusation with no basis. We had steaks in the fridge and beer stocked up and that made my plans for the evening. She still started screaming at me when I'd just opened my eyes.
Nevertheless, yelling at someone back does not elevate the level of discourse.
Finally, she followed her pattern, fleeing across the street to friend's house to complain about me.
Just a few hints in case any of y'all have domestic quarrels. First, don't start playing Puddle of Mud's "Blurry" at wall shaking volume to prove your love.
Do not yell at your busybody neighbor suggesting anatomically impossible acts.
Do not piss off the police by telling them to get a damn warrant, even if they do knock on your door at 2 am while you lay on the floor in vodka induced stupor, even if the damn call to them got made at 2 in the afternoon.
Most importantly, don't tell the PoPo where she went, or you'll find yourself hauled to the hoosegow, ruining a nice buzz and judge will also prevent you from going back to your own damn house.
Foolish me; kept things together for a few more years, even though she'd flee at drop of a hat, like 2 days after I got out of the hospital after chest surgery.
Still, she had the nerve and me the lack of self esteem to go stay with her for a night during the worst of hurricane Charley in 2004.
Clue it might be over, if you have to put a knife under your pillow in case her ex con boyfriend made it down from Sanford to Orlando, it might be over.
But I never laid hands on her.
Hope they can find an electric chair big enough to fry this fat fuck.
During a self-described ‘walk of shame’ statement that seems more self-serving than apologetic, a 550 pound murder suspect shockingly declares love.
“I am sorry I took your world away from you Dawan. That was not my intent,” 39-year-old Dameon L. Wesley says into a WHIO-TV camera. “Love you with all of my heart. I am still in love with you. I guess God do get his justice and that’s why I am right here, right now. “
Police say Wesley, a convicted murder recently released from prison, on Sunday fired multiple shots into the head of 13-year-old Briona Rodgers , the daughter of Dawan Culpepper — the woman the suspect claims to love so much.
Family members say Wesley may have been in a conflict with Culpepper before shooting her daughter.
He also allegedly shot Culpepper’s niece Alonta Culpepper, 13, and a student at Wogaman School.
Thank God my folks never drowned me like an unwanted cat as acted out a mite bit as a kid and more so as teenager. Did't wreck the car but had to get it towed after almost driving into ditch.
[SANFORD, Fla. — A family trip to the theme parks ended with a mother being arrested after police said she left her children at a 7-Eleven in Sanford and told them to sleep in the woods.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said 32-year-old Tiffany Buffkin was heading back to her home in Jacksonville on Monday with her boyfriend and two children when investigators said an argument happened.
According to authorities, the boyfriend dropped Buffkin and her kids off at the 7-Eleven on State Road 46 and left.
"The female then indicated to the 13-year-old that the argument was his fault and his punishment was to sleep in the woods for the night," said Kim Cannaday of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
According to deputies, one of the kids was in the back sleeping while the other child was in the front of the store trying to call friends or relatives, someone to come pick him up.
The teen eventually made contact with deputies, who spent 30 minutes talking to him and his brother, trying to find where his mother had gone.
That's when deputies said the mother stumbled down the walkway and began to get angry and violent.
Professor Juan Cole at Informed comment skewers and debunks ideas of lunatic neocons ad their fetish for unending war and fever dreams of world domination.
[The GOP Orcs have a further list of countries they’d like to invade and occupy.Senator Lindsey Graham added Pakistan to the list. Does anybody else in the known universe think it is a good idea for the US abruptly to go to war with the world’s sixth-largest country, which is a nuclear power, and which is backed by China? I mean, shouldn’t this man just be declared clinically insane and mercifully put in an institution instead of being allowed to strut the halls of power? ( South Carolina, by the way, has among the worst health statistics and the shortest life expectancy in the United States, so that you would think Sen. Graham might have other priorities than becoming a 21st century Lord Curzon.)
John McCain joked about bombing Iran. (A bomb strike on the nuclear enrichment facilities at Natanz near Isfahan would release massive amounts of toxins and likely kill 100,000 innocent civilians.)
Hagel’s ideas on foreign policy are pragmatic and cautious, and sane. The real reason that he had a hard ride in his confirmation was that the looney tunes Tea Partiers and Neoconservative dead-enders want to keep alive the insane options as long as they can, the dream of striding in camel boots and khaki through the halls of an abject Islamabad, the dream of reducing Iran to a less prosperous version of the Congo, the dream of erasing the Palestinians altogether, the dream of total and absolute global dominance. Their sense of innate superiority makes them unable to look about a broken-down America, its treasury looted of trillions by crooked financiers, its 30,000 significantly wounded Iraq War veterans needing trillions in health care over the next decades, its bridges falling down, its school students illiterate in mathematics and science, its factory jobs shipped abroad by scheming corporations, its minorities increasingly denied the right to vote, and its industry spewing 5 billion metric tons of hothouse gases into the atmosphere annually, threatening to wipe out New Orleans and Manhattan with artificial sea level rises.
Some days, you can find hope in headlines. Voters, dragging the Republican't party out of the 19th century into the 20th.
[BIG NEWS -- Rachel Maddow reports on last night's special election for Congress in Illinois:
"Robin Kelly made her support for gun reform a centerpiece of her campaign. She was running against someone who had long touted her A rating from the NRA. And the A rating from the NRA lost -- the F rating from the NRA won."]
[In the special election to replace Jesse Jackson, Jr. in Illinois’ 2nd congressional district, former state Rep. Robin Kelly, a supporter of a federal assault weapons ban, cruised to victory in the Democratic primary tonight over a field of candidates including former U.S. Representative Debbie Halvorson. While Kelly’s victory was not altogether unexpected, her total vote share (52 percent in a multi-candidate field) was surprisingly strong, and followed an expenditure of more than $2 million in the race by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, according to the New York Times.
Citing her opposition to gun safety reforms and past support from the National Rifle Association, Bloomberg spent heavily to damage Halvorson’s candidacy, funding TV ads singling her out for attack. In the final two weeks of the campaign, the New York mayor explicitly backed Kelly as his candidate, and his financial support likely helped boost the size of her victory.] http://www.salon.com/2013/02/27/nra_candidate_defeated_in_illinois/
