That’s Not Real Olive Oil You’re Using!

May 18th, 2013 | Add a Comment

By: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer NaturalNews.com Considered by many to be one of the healthiest plant-based fats, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) has gained considerable notoriety in recent years for its ability to lower heart disease risk and cholesterol levels, among other benefits. Unfortunately, much of the so-called olive oil sold in stores today is not actually olive oil, but rather a deceptive blend of inferior oils that may or may not include traces of actual olive oil. As surprising as it might seem, as much as 50 percent or more of all the olive oil sold commercially in the United States does not pass the stringent testing standards used to qualify the authenticity of real olive oil. As it turns out, many high-volume, non-certified olive oils may contain various blends of … Read entire article »

I Grew Up as a Disneyland Kid

Disneyland and I were both established in 1955 but we hadn’t made our acquaintance until the early 60′s. I believe it was 1963 when I made my first visit to the ‘Happiest Place on Earth.” Back in those days, they had a variety of rides that are no longer at Disneyland such as the Boat Rides, the Flying Saucers, the Skyway buckets, Inner Space, the Carousel of Progress, the House of the Future, Rocket Ship to the Moon, the People Mover, etc. I remember the Indian Territory, the train that went through the desert, mule rides, the canoes you could rent, and other old-time attractions that have since bit the proverbial dust. Other rides have proven the … Read entire article »

Just Plain Strange!

(From wikipedia.org) The Moeraki Boulders The Moeraki Boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders lying along a stretch of Koekohe Beach on the wave cut Otago coast of New Zealand between Moeraki and Hampden. They occur scattered either as isolated or clusters of boulders within a stretch of beach where they have been protected in a scientific reserve. The erosion by wave action of mudstone, comprising local bedrock and landslides, frequently exposes embedded isolated boulders. These boulders are grey-colored septarian concretions, which have been exhumed from the mudstone enclosing them and concentrated on the beach by coastal erosion. The most striking aspect of the boulders is their unusually large size and spherical shape, with a distinct bimodal size … Read entire article »

On The Golf Course (Joke)

The Englishman’s wife steps up to the tee and, as she bends over to place her ball, a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals she isn’t wearing any panties. “Good God, woman! Why aren’t you wearing any underwear?” her husband demanded. “Well, you don’t give me enough housekeeping money to afford any,” she replies. The Englishman immediately reaches into his pocket and says, “For the sake of decency, here’s 50 pounds. Go and buy yourself some knickers.” Next, the Irishman’s wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her skirt also blows up to show that she, also, is not wearing any panties. “Blessed Virgin Mary, woman! You’ve no knickers on. Why not?” her husband … Read entire article »

A New Perspective

Hmmm…World War I was against the Germans (one country), World War II was against the Japanese and the Germans (two countries), so it only makes sense that World War III will be against three countries. In that twisted version of a very distorted future reality, here are the possibilities as I see them: 1. Iran – especially if they strike out against Israel. Why? We can’t let them have nuclear weapons, period, end of story. 2. North Korea – that one is a given. Why? We can’t let them have nuclear weapons, period, end of story. 3. ??? I fear that number three could be China and that scares me. Other possibilities could be Pakistan (another that scares me) and, of … Read entire article »

How to Talk to a Hearing-Impaired Person

by Kim Painter, Special for USA TODAY Hearing-impaired author has some tips for co-workers, friends and family members who want to better communicate with someone who can’t hear very well. Katherine Bouton is out of the hearing-impaired closet. “I lied and faked it for years,” says the author of the new book, ‘Shouting Won’t Help: Why I – and 50 Million Other Americans – Can’t Hear You.’ Now, Bouton, 65, a former editor at The New York Times, routinely lets people know that she is profoundly deaf in one ear and very hard of hearing in the other. Even with the help of a hearing aid and a cochlear implant, she struggles to hear many conversations. She recommends such … Read entire article »
