'Unhealthy' corn dogs, chicken nuggets out, sushi in at L.A. schools

Weight Loss Tip

Just bear in mind, you are going to have to pull out all stops to attain your weight loss goal. You cannot put less effort into losing weight than the food manufacturers put into getting you to eat more of their CRAP (Carbohydrate Rich Artificial Poison). This sounds strange (and scary) but there is actually an Institute of Food Technologists that study, amongst other things, how to actually reprogram the brain through "hyperpalatable" foods.

To be successful in any endeavour you cannot underestimate the power of the enemy.

Want to Halve Your Heart Disease Risk?

Women who eat a lot of foods high in blood sugar-spiking carbohydrates, such as white bread and rice, double their risk of heart disease. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20386010



Low Fat or Low Carb for Weight Loss?

Research has repeatedly shown that a low-carb diet beats low-fat. Eating fat does NOT make you fat. Carbohydrates from fructose and grains do! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/07/05/other-nonwheat-grains-can-also-hurt-your-health.aspx



ADHD review as US expert faces inquiry

AUSTRALIA'S ADHD guidelines are being redeveloped as a US psychiatrist whose work is heavily cited in existing draft guidelines has been sanctioned by Harvard University for violating conflict-of-interest rules.

Humour


Parent Job Description

This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way, I don't believe any of us would have applied!!!

Position:

Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma, MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

Job Description:

Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment.
Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required, including trips to the hospital, emergency room, walk in clinics, primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
PTA meetings, school reports card days, open house things of that nature.
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.

Responsibilities:

The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets, baking, constant cleaning and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

Possibility for Advancement & Promotion:

None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you.

Previous Experience:

None required although having worked previously as a plumber, electrician, costume designer, pattern maker, tailor, seamstress, dressmaker, drill sergeant major, counselor, triage nurse, nurse, doctor, surgeon, cleaner, carpenter, engineer, software developer, software trainer, computer support technician, project researcher, censor, careers adviser, taxi driver, courier, teacher, teacher's aide, camping guide, bushwalking guide, survival skills teacher, cat herder, dog trainer, fight referree, lecturer, professor, sports coach, laundromat hand, combat marine, lawyer, judge, investigative journalist, private investigator, psychic, spy, lie detector operator, watch repairer, jeweller, artist, provisioning officer, short order cook, cordon bleu chef, pastry chef, combat information center I\C, toxic waster cleanup crew member, bomb disposal squad member, life coach, motivational speaker, parole officer, prison guard and prosecuting attorney would all be useful.
On-the-job training offered (mandatory) on most of the above on a continually exhausting basis.

Wages and Compensation:

Get this! You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

Benefits:

While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered, this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

Forward this on to all the PARENTS you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis, letting them know they are appreciated for the fabulous job they do... ...or forward with love to anyone thinking of applying for the job.

** AND A FOOTNOTE**

THERE IS NO RETIREMENT -- EVER!!!

Climate Change Debate I

Don't fall for the great Carbon Tax Scam! Forest density study blows hole in excess CO2 myth and the supposed need for carbon taxes http://www.naturalnews.com/032884_forest_density_CO2.html



Climate Change Debate II

From Professor Ian Plimer (a member of the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Adelaide who is also a joint member of the School of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering).

Are you sitting down?

Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet, all of you.

Of course you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress, that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans, and all animal life.

I know, it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of:

driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cents light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs... ...well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes - FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon.

And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud any one time - EVERY DAY.

I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in its entire YEARS on earth.

Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year, think about it.

Of course I shouldn't spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keep happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.

And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year.

Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you on the basis of the bogus ''human-caused'' climate change scenario.

Hey, isn't it interesting how they don't mention ''Global Warming'' any more, but just ''Climate Change'' - you know why?

It's because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.

And just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme (that whopping new tax) imposed on you, that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer.

It won't stop any volcanoes from erupting, that's for sure.

But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day!

PS: I wonder if Iceland is buying carbon offsets?
