The Asian Paradox

This probably deserves a full post, but I’ll briefly discuss it here. I’m not going to sit here and claim that Asians don’t actually eat rice. They do. And they have for centuries while maintaining pretty good health and staying fairly lean. That’s changing nowadays, though, with the Westernization of their food. They’re eating more sugar and using vegetable oils for cooking, rather than traditional animal fats. These factors are deranging their metabolisms, turning the relatively benign rice starch into an enemy. It just suggests that carbs, in and of themselves, are benign in a metabolic vacuum. If you have everything else going right – insulin sensitivity, regular activity, absence of metabolic deranging foods like fructose, lectins, and excessive linoleic acid – pure starchy carbs aren’t going to be a big problem. But, especially in the States, we live in anything but a nutritional vacuum. We aren’t starting from ground zero. The overweight perimenopausal wife and mother of three working 50 hours a week is not starting from square one. She has an issue with glucose, one that might not be cured in a lifetime. For a person like that, avoidance of rice is recommended and probably necessary.
We have to face facts. Deranged has become normal. Glucose intolerance – or perhaps “mishandling” is better – has become standard. Where rice belongs in your life depends on where you fall on the metabolic derangement continuum.
What are your views on rice? Do you avoid it like the plague? Have a little in certain dishes? Let me know in the comment board on Grok on!

Marinating Meat In Alcohol Found To Remove Carcinogens

Researchers found that steeping meat in alcohol for several hours cut the high levels of carcinogenic compounds triggered by frying it. In addition, they discovered that beer was more effective than wine at lowering the cancer-forming chemicals, and also made for a better-looking and tastier meal.
Cooking food increases its levels of chemical compounds called heterocyclic amines (HAs), which can cause cancerous tumours. Frying and grilling meat is particularly dangerous, because the intense heat turns the sugars and amino acids of muscle tissue into high levels of the compounds. However scientists are gathering increasing amounts of evidence to show that the levels of HAs in cooked meat can be lowered by treating the food beforehand. Marinating steak in red wine or beer before frying – for six hours – cut levels of two types of HA by up to 90 per cent compared with untreated meat.
Beer was more efficient at reducing a third type of HA than wine, cutting levels significantly in four hours instead of six.
The researchers from the University of Porto in Portugal believe the alcoholic sauce cuts levels of the carcinogen by acting as a barrier preventing water-soluble molecules moving to the surface of the steak where they would be turned into HAs by the high temperature.
Previous research has shown that a red wine marinade has a similar effect on HA levels in fried chicken. A sauce made of olive oil, lemon juice and garlic lowered HA levels in grilled chicken by as much as 90 per cent.
Cooking meat on lower heat and for a shorter period of time also prevents dangerous levels of HAs forming.

DREAMING IT ALL UP AGAIN

you reach a certain point where you have some competence to what you are doing you have to stop and look and see where do you want to go. Many times the original idea or dream that got you started might not be where you want to continue. 
I don't feel the same about photography as when I first started.  I am becoming or I am realizing that I am more right brain that I thought and well the structure and routine of treating photography as a business does not really interest me since I already have a job and there is so much competition out there.

I learning that I like more abstract more emotional types of creativity and that photography in itself is too rigid in its form and rules and even by mechanics alone of the way a photo is created.  There are just too many boundaries that I really need to blur or dissolve or simply just destroy. 

So in order to compete with the millions out there doing what I'm doing I have to really look and see what I bring to the table. Not what I do to make it the same shit that everyone else is doing but what is so unique about my life experience that can be incorporated in my creativity.

Toilet Seat

“I'm sick of this shit, Every fucking day is the same shit you leaving the toilet seat up Harold. Sick of it, sick sick sick.”

Harold opened his eyes to see Mary standing over him naked. He shuddered a bit but then realized that it wasn't all bad. Mary was up to something. Maybe she wanted to play hide the willy before she went off to work but then again he quickly remembered that her screaming at him had woken him up. He grabbed her ankles and smiled and gave a lets get in on look.

“Not this time lover boy.” mary said and she bent down over him with her crotch hovering over his face and began to urinate

Harold jumped up

“What the hell

“See how you like it.”

“You crazy I never peed on you.

“Sure you did you peed in the toilet then didn't flush and when I went in this morning I sat down and landed in your piss because you fucking left the seat up.”

Mary hit Harold on the stomach and got off the bed.

“Next time you do it its coming off.”

“it

“you know Willy and his two friends.”

Right Brain

Those with a right-side dominant brain depend more on visual references for understanding and are often times visual learners.
They are more emotional, swayed by feelings, and are able to better understand and reflect on these feelings. Furthermore, right-brained thinkers are very intuitive and curious about the world.
Finally, as a down side, they tend to be disorganized, lacking in time-management, and unable to prioritize well.

Abstraction = Right Brain

Right brained people may lean more towards abstract art, because of its lack of order and disorganization. Abstraction also gives no boundaries, so it can be considered more ‘outside-the-box’, or creative.
Abstract art is also known to portray emotion, even with no hard visual evidence. A right brained person may more easily be able to pick up on an abstract piece’s deeper meaning.

The definite departure of planet Neptune from your sign in 2012 is good news to you. Neptune might have been the main culprit for you feeling debilitated physically and mentally in the previous years. It might have brought you a lot of confusion and disappointment in your life. This year Neptune will leave your sign and will allow you to regroup your forces, to assess more objectively the situations around you and enter a more fulfilling and succesful road. Overall this year shows a significant amelioration on the socio-professional level. In the first half is likely to change some things in relation to your house and your family environment. From June on you will probably become more vigorous, optimistic, full of vitality and a burning desire to “create” (from artifacts to children)!

The Pineal Gland secretes various hormones, two of which have been identified as Melatonin and Serotonin. Melatonin is secreted between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. and Serotonin between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Both are anti-aging in nature and effect, especially Melatonin. Serotonin is a natural anti-depressant. Serotonin is secreted during sunlight hours. When melanated individuals (Black people) don?Äôt get enough sunlight, they naturally get depressed. This is due to lack of Serotonin. When melanated individuals don?Äôt get enough sleep during night- time, they prematurely age, the exception being the very creative people (e.g. Quaquaverals). People who get off into deep and vivid dreams secrete a lot of Melatonin.

our frequency of consciousness

Unhealthy, junk, foods lower our frequency of consciousness

Research has proven that healthy bodies vibrate at 60 MHz or higher. (Yes, they can finally measure it!) At lower frequencies, dis-eases can manifest and a person can experience struggle, illness, accidents, victimhood, anger, shame, guilt, feeling separated from Creator - the list goes on. At high frequency, a person can experience joy, happiness, balance, unconditional love, feeling a part of all things (Creator). Synchronicity and the ability to manifest what you desire are greatly increased at a higher frequency.

A few of the things that lower frequency and keep you stuck where you are include: heavy, processed, and junk foods; negative words, thoughts, actions, and feelings; negative people and situations; artificial synthesized materials such as fluorescent lights, synthetic fabrics, synthetic foods, vitamins, and medicines; working at a job you hate; and mainstream radio, television, and newspapers - particularly the news.
Try to avoid the above as much as possible.
