This is one poorly written article:
HEADLINE: Omega-3 intake linked to signs of brain aging
That headline would lead one to believe that increased Omega-3 leads to brain aging, wouldn’t it? Then we have this phrase:
The researchers found that women with the highest EPA and DHA blood levels at the study’s outset had brains that were about two cubic centimeters larger overall than women with the lowest levels.
In addition, the hippocampus, a brain region critical to forming and storing memories, was 2.7 percent larger in women who had fatty acid levels twice as high as the average.
Of 13 specific brain regions the researchers looked at, the hippocampus was the only one where they saw a significant difference.The upshot is Omega-3 fatty acids are very good for your brain. These eggs have the highest level of Omega-3 of any egg available in the USA. A casual check, when the levels are listed on the package in Kroger stores, shows that Christopher Eggs have 6 times that of Egglands Best; 660 vs110 respectively.

Reading a story about the upcoming Bill Nye vs. creationism debate, I came across this paragraph (emphasis mine):
While atheists like Dawkins have warned that scientists engaging with creationists is ideologically dangerous and gives undue publicity to those who oppose evolution, Nye said that he wants to battle the anti-evolution sentiment that is still held by many Americans — a view that he believes could hamper the nation’s progression.
Regardless of which side you’re on, why would debating anyone with an opposing view be “ideologically dangerous”?

On Eddd Hendeee’s show this morning, he was speaking of the impending Death Spiral of OJugEarsCare and how it is happening way ahead of schedule. Now the insurance companies are starting to balk as well as some thinking members of the House of Reps, the insurance companies are not going to be allowed to simply guarantee a profit by drafting on the treasury. This will cause the rates to increase which will drive customers away making the problem worse. My statement to the insurance companies is: When you make a deal with the devil, you never get what you want and it will cost your soul. Phrased a bit differently: when you sow to the wind, you reap the whirlwind.
The deal was crooked from the outset and the ins co.s wanted to reap unjust gain, while the polititerds wanted increased power over the citizenry; the illusion of better healthcare was simply the vehicle. Now that the people are finding out what it is all about, they want no part of it. If the Rs had any sense at all they would hang this around the necks of the Ds like the albatross it is; I ain’t holding my breath. There are too many corrupt Rs who thought they could be part of the ruling class and get “theirs”. This whole thing could trigger a Constitutional Convention or a revolution. -
#15 TT: Because when the myriad flaws in the theory of evolution are brought to light, it puts their ideology/religion/dogma on display as the fraud that it is.
Let’s think about it for a minute: the origin of life part of evolution states that random chemicals in the “primordial soup” randomly formed amino acids; then those compatible randomly formed amino acids joined up to form precisely self replicating organisms.
Yeah, that could happen, right after monkeys fly out of my butt. -

Would guess debating could become dangerous for someone whose arsenal of supporting facts and beliefs is thin, and organizing thoughts to present them is compromised by faint conviction supporting them. And staunch belief that it is right if one clings to simplistic bumper sticker proclamations repeated ad nauseum might not win the day. Sums up as “I am right because I want it to be right, don’t try to distract me with cogent arguments.” 🙂 If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. -

On Eddd Hendeee’s show this morning, he was speaking of the impending Death Spiral of OJugEarsCare and how it is happening way ahead of schedule.
Did he happen to mention that the next step in this drama is single payer healthcare? That is where the Dems want to go and that is what this is going to turn into. And the Republicans…….. well they are all to willing to go along with it. Insurance as we once knew it is dead and to think that Washington will go back to the tried and true way of doing business is dreaming.
This whole thing could trigger a Constitutional Convention or a revolution.
No it will not. The Constitutional method of changing laws has been abandoned for quite some time now. We have a president that legislates by fiat and NO ONE but the bloggers have called him on this. We have a president that has committed high crimes and misdemeanors that have been acknowledged by members of the house and the senate yet there is no move to impeach. We have spending law that has originated in the senate and no one even challenged the validity of the laws. The list goes on. What should happen and what will happen based on current trends are different animals. What should happen and what will happen based on current trends are different animals.
Our last hope is the Republicans keep control of the House and win the Senate this midterm silly season. Even then I do not see a light at the end of the tunnel. Based on the Republican’s record the last time they controlled the house and senate, they furthered the democratic agenda, I cannot foresee any changes to the current legislative status quo. -
As for a revolution………….. Americans ain’t got the cajones. Oh they might “march” or something but a full blown revolt? Ain’t happening.
-
We have unelected people in things like the EPA making law that we have to obey.
/just another example of how the Constitution has been trashed and no one challenges it. Now that is revolting. -
Regardless of which side you’re on, why would debating anyone with an opposing view be “ideologically dangerous”?
It really depends on the nature of the opposing view. For instance, sticking generally with creationism, I really don’t see much point in debating the issue with someone who thinks the world is literally 6000 years old.

Smith and Wesson followed Sturm Ruger’s decision to pull out of the CA market. The reason for the withdrawal is the microstamping of the firing pins legislation that recently went into effect. As more manufacturers pull out of the CA market, I suspect the following will happen:
1) tax revenue from the sale of guns and ammo will go down
2) the murder rate by handgun will go up
3) those individuals and companies with the ability will start to leave the state, further depressing tax revenues
4) faced with decreasing tax revenues, the state will increase tax rates, because that is what moronic Ds do.
5) faced with increasing tax rates more individuals and businesses will leave the state, and the death spiral into bankruptcy speeds up.
Ditto all of the above with the State of NY. -

Micheal Mann is about to find out.
In the off chance you morons don’t regularly stalk the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in search of noteworthy cases, Professor Michael Mann of Penn State filed suit in 2012 against, among others, National Review and Mark Steyn for something Mark wrote and NR published on its website (full disclosure – I am an occasional contributor to several publications, including NRO’s Bench Memos). As NR’s capable lawyers have confirmed, there seems to be no case here.
But even if there was a case, who in their right mind would want Mark Steyn as a defendant?“Hockey Stick” Mann wanted to silence National Review and Mark Steyn. They said something he didn’t like, so he sued them. Rather than ask for a dismissal of what is on its face an absurd case, both Steyn and NR said
“OK, if you feel froggy, jump.”
Mann jumped.I never dreamed we would be able to get Mr. Mann to actually take the stand. NR’s Rich Lowry nicely summarized this line of thinking:
Usually, you don’t welcome a nuisance lawsuit, because it’s a nuisance. It consumes time. It costs money. But this is a different matter in light of one word: discovery.
If Mann sues us, the materials we will need to mount a full defense will be extremely wide-ranging. So if he files a complaint, we will be doing more than fighting a nuisance lawsuit; we will be embarking on a journalistic project of great interest to us and our readers.It appears from the complaint that Mr. Mann is demanding a jury trial. He might get it yet – after 18 months of procedural absurdity the judge refused to dismiss the case. For 1st Amendment legal observers, this is the cue to get the popcorn because there is a smack down coming. In fact, charging people to have their photo taken outside the courthouse with Mr. Steyn could be part his fundraising to cover the crushing legal costs of defending the 1st Amendment (Mr. Steyn is being represented by different counsel than the other parties involved). I don’t know if the DC Superior Court allows cameras, but I for one would pay to watch Mr. Mann being cross examined about global cooling or global warming or climate change or climate collapse or whatever it is being called this week.
Essentially, Man Made Global Warming is going on trail, complete with penalties for perjury, rules of evidence, discovery by both parties, and cross examination.
Yah. I want popcorn for this. -

HEADLINE: MSNBC host says newborn infants don’t count as ‘alive’ unless parents decide they do; infanticide is the new abortion
It is becoming ever more clear: abortion is nothing but a human sacrifice on the altar of choice to the demons of rampant promiscuity.
It is prolly a good thing that more people don’t watch PMSNBC. While there will always be a segment to support this nonsense on the wack-job left, they are out on the fringes of the bell curve of people in the USA.
I would imagine a poll that asked the question: Is it OK for parents to decide to kill their baby at will up to the age of three? The NO answers would be over 98%. Of course no left leaning pollster would ever phrase the question so simply. -

The pictures are charming, especially when you consider that they are recreations, but what I was also imagining was the daddy showing his young daughter a painting and asking her, “What do we need to do to make you look like this?” Together, they sew, they paint, they search for props, they put it all together as a team, and the final result is not only a charming portrait, but a bond between father and daughter that is as strong as it is loving and lovely.

I just had a delightful call from a program I’m thinking about using instead of insurance. It’s a Christian based medical sharing program, like a self-insurance group. It’s not insurance, no contracts, no guarantee of payment – though the man assures me that they do a fine job of supporting each other in the program. Since it’s not insurance, they are exempt from the Obamacare crap. They pre-screen for pre-existing conditions and such, they don’t cover wellness and preventive care items, and they don’t cover unbiblical activities like abortion or injuries resulting from crime, but since I’m healthy except for my weight, that shouldn’t be an issue. As far as my weight goes, he was really happy to hear that I’m working out, but added that if my BMI is too large, I may be put into a mandatory $80/month health program – but it includes a personal trainer to help with nutrition and exercise! And the monthly fee drops when I graduate the program.
He answered all my questions, and ended with the offer to pray with me. We prayed together and I tell you what, that made me feel good.
Seriously considering jumping off the insurance train and joining these folks. It’s a leap of faith, literally, but I’ve heard of their program off and on for years, and I don’t really trust that my insurance is going to take care of me at a price I can afford much longer…. -

/Snark off

Sleet = snow mixed with rain and ice.
nope
That is a “wintry mix”.
In the winter at non-tropical latitudes, almost all rain starts out as ice crystals at high altitudes in the clouds. As the ice crystals (sometimes very tiny particles; sometimes snowflakes) fall, the air temperatures rise as we saw in our airliner example earlier this week.
If the air temperature remains above freezing all the way to the surface, the ice never melts and you end up with snow. If the air is above freezing enough, the ice crystals melt and you end up with rain. If the air is barely above freezing in a shallow enough layer, the ice crystals partially melt and you end up with sleet. If the ice crystals fall through a warm layer and melt, then fall through a below-freezing layer or get blown back into a freezing layer, you get ice pellets, which are basically BB-sized hailstones.
When driving, sleet and rain look very similar when hitting your windshield. If you look closely, you can see ice crystals in the liquid water if it’s sleet.
Freezing rain is rain or sleet that freezes on contact with the ground, vegetation, or structures on the surface. -

Doncha mean if the temp remains below freezing all the way to the surface?
And if I see ice crystals in the rain on my windshield, and snow is ice crystals, then I’m gonna call sleet rain mixed with snow and ice.
YMMV -
This is disturbing on several levels:
Judge rules that Kansan who provided sperm to lesbian couple owes child support
Problem 1) Man signs a contract with a couple of Lesbanians to donate sperm so that this “Couple” can then
indoctrinateraise a child. Why would anyone cooperate with furthering perversion?
Problem 2) The man stipulated in contract that his involvement ended with the donation. How can the state then charge the man with child support? The notion that a sterile hetero couple would then go after the sperm donor is ludicrous, so why when it involves LBGT?QXR grouping?
Did the state get involved in the situation because the couple split up and one is now on welfare?
The problem starts when absurd perversion is given the mantle of reasonability, a lesbanian couple soliciting a sperm donor, and just gets worse from there. -
An actual cross cultural diversity success story that also proves that Texas culture is superior and invading all other American subcultures without absorbing any of theirs.

Wagonburner’s clear descriptions in #51 pretty much describe the weather here over the last few days.
Sleet is fairly common in Texas. Freezing rain is not and it sounds exactly like living or driving through a heavy West Texas sandstorm as it blows against your house or vehicle.
A finer distinction in the various types of snow is required when you have to drive in or remove it from property. I never realized how different snowfalls could be until I experienced them all over and over. -

But the very fact that any kind of chili is being served, and that it gets first billing is proof that Texas culture is encroaching in that direction, and none of theirs is coming this way.
I can’t even fathom what it might mean if there were a Chili and Chowder cookoff in Texas, let alone a Chowder and Chili cook off.
That being said, one of the most satisfying bowls of “chili” I’ve ever had was in a Denny’s in Vermont. It was winter. It was cold outside. It wasn’t chili, but it was hot and reminded me of Texas.
It should be the last time I’ll ever be up there in winter, unless somebody gets married or has a funeral. That time it was for my sister’s wedding. -

I just ran into a liberal at a local store. She proceeded to “school” me on the history of medical care, and how universal insurance is a good thing, and how it actually started in Texas, thanks to LBJ. It’s actually why we have the Medical Center, in case you didn’t know. Oh, and you can can get medical care for free, despite my comments that it’s not free – someone has to pay for it. That comment just went right over her head.
It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud in her presence. I started backing slowly away from her, trying to change the subject and cut off the conversation, because I only had a few minutes to grab two things and I needed to leave. As I started backing up, she actually was tracking me. I finally had to tell her I NEEDED to leave (2x), as my help didn’t show up today, and turned to go. She was yelling at me as I walked down the aisle that I needed to study my medical history and I’d understand why Obamacare was such a good idea.
Oh, and she’s highly educated with a Republican boyfriend. She comes from a Republican family – she’s the only Democrat. And she said her friends keep telling her she’s Republican. She and her boyfriend have heated discussions all the time, she says.
And she’s still ignorant. I choose not to argue with the intentionally stupid. -

Believe it or not, I was trying to help her separate some small trash cans. She was looking for one to put used toilet paper and her momma’s diapers in. Turns out, her mother’s a VP with Frito-lay with short gut syndrome, and since she uses the toilet so often during the day, she stops up the plumbing because – get this – their high efficiency toilet just can’t flush all of her short-gut poop and the associated toilet paper down the drain without stopping up. While I was struggling to disengage the top mini-trash can from the stack, we got to talking about health care issues.
I don’t know how a VP with Frito-lay can’t afford to upgrade her plumbing to be able to accommodate this situation. -

Chili has beans. No two ways about it. You can call that other whatever you want, but I know what it ain’t.
-
Excuse me!
Excuse me!!!!!
I hate to intrude on such scintillating conversation, but there is something that some of you need to know: Texas chili is a meat stew prepared with meat (typically beef or venison), tomatoes, onions and a variety of spices. Chili has a long and rich history that dates back well into the 1800’s. The addition of beans is a 20th century innovation that seems to be largely due to commercial food canners (see “Wolf Brand” et al) who used beans as a less expensive meat substitute.
If you insist on beans in your chili you should have the good manners to add them to your own bowl and leave those of us with taste out of your perversion.
As for those yankee fools who add cinnamon or noodles – nothing more really needs to be said -
Other things that aren’t really chili:
Turkey chili
Vegetarian chili
Tofu Chili (yes, really!)
Chili poutin (sorry Texanadian!)

When I first met Mrs. Dude (native Texan she is), she too thought chili did not contain beans. But gradually, and with much compassion, I showed her the light and she now acknowledges the error of her former ways.

3 95 mharper:
I certainly can’t speak for everybody, but a couple of things come to mind. First, sometimes it’s nice to deal with something other than politics and arguing about chili amongst friends is fun. Second, the Pope is who he is. His political views (whatever those might be) aren’t going to change. And, frankly, speaking as a faithful Baptist (sort of) he seems to be a bit above all of the crap we’re dealing with.
As best I can tell he appears to be speaking to social issues from a traditional Catholic point of view, albeit with more contemporary language. He also seems to placing a higher emphasis on some areas than his predecessors. I appreciate his apparent crack-down on abusive priests, I also appreciate his clear and unwavering commitment to a pro-life agenda.
As for the rest, I think a lot of it is the product of a wishful liberal media mis-reading what he is actually saying. -

All the potted plants are on the back porch and closer to the house. Ice on even the hardy ones will not be good. So far all we’ve had is rain.

I have always served my chili in a bowl at each place setting. Next to each setting is a smaller bowl with my special pinto beans and another with diced onions.

Bill Dukeman, 101st Airborne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Second Battalion, Company C (of “Band of Brothers fame) is buried there.
He was killed in the battle of “The Crossroads” in northern Holland.
The Dutch hold an annual memorial concert every September at the above cemetery to remember and honor the Americans who died to free them in Operation Market Garden and subsequent efforts to eject the German army from Holland. Sgt. Dukeman, like many other fallen GIs, was “adopted” by a Dutch family. Dukeman’s family in the States was contacted and hosted in Holland and his grave site decorated each year by his Dutch “family.” They keep his portrait in their home, displayed in a place of honor. Fathers pass this obligation down to their sons in Holland.
This version of the original “taps” music is played by a 13 year old Dutch girl named Melissa Venema. The conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland.
Many of you may never have heard taps played in its entirety.
The original version of Taps was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip, so in 1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and re-named Taps. Melissa Venema is playing it on a trumpet whereby the original was played on a bugle.

So I’m a talker eh? Is that a bad thing?
I’d tell you all about Barf Kitty crying out for attention while NOT exiting her bottle-warmed cat cave, but then…… -

Have you ever MET Tedtam?
Why, yes I have. I went to her spaghetti potluck at The Dome roughly 1.5 years ago. I am joshing TT because I know she brings it on herself when a stranger tells her about her family’s very intimate medical problems. Remember when she converted some girl who rear-ended her car into a talk radio junky, while they waited for something involving the accident?

It’s a gift…

That Wolf brand chili is so good
Amazing. I can say I like Wolf brand hot chili and Pyromaniac won’t call me a philistine or a perv.

“Did you send in the rent?”
“No.”
“Better get it in or that talkin’ landlady will show up.” -
Wolf brand is acceptable when you need an emergency frito pie.
Or chili dogs. -

I think cat purring developed through human selection. It pleases a person to have a purring cat in his/her lap, so you select such a cat for your house pet. -

Discussing my propensity to engage in easy conversation reminds me of something that happened many, many moons ago:
Hubby and I were in a very slow grocery line. I talked to the very nice lady in front of me for about 15 minutes, until she checked out. We discussed kids, schools, food…it was a wide ranging conversation. Hubby just watched us, content to observe instead of participate. We laughed and talked, and when she left, Hubby asked “Who was that?”
I just shrugged and said, “I don’t know.” -
And if you’ve never had James Coney Island Chili Pie…well that’s a crying shame.

James Coney Island Chili Pie
One thing is certifiably true – there is not, and never has been, any Wolf Brand or canned factory “chili” facsimiles in a James Coney Island Chili Pie. -
For those who want to help – these are friends of mine. I’m about to donate; I think the site recently went up. I know that Sandy didn’t know about gofundme until I mentioned it to her.

James Coney Island Hot Dog Chili Sauce Pie
there….. adjusted it for you 🙂 -
I’ve discovered some fascinating shows on The Weather Channel. I’ve always loved the earth sciences, and the shows they have about weird weather and phenomenon just fascinate me.

James Coney Chili Sauce. Does that say sauce? Why yes it does.
throw down James Coney Island on me. Ha!! Chili sauce = Hotdog Sauce.
Chili w/o beans is at best hot dog sauce. -
