I Fcuking Knew This 35 Years Ago!!!
No SHIT... I could have told you this without doing research!...... LINK
Confirmed: Taste of beer triggers good feelings in the brain
"We believe this is the first experiment in humans to show that the taste of an alcoholic drink alone, without any intoxicating effect from the alcohol, can elicit this dopamine activity in the brain’s reward centers,” the study’s senior author, neuroscientist David Kareken of the Indiana University School of Medicine, said in a statement. The findings were detailed online today (April 15) in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.
Dopamine, a brain chemical widely associated with pleasure, has long been linked to the consumption of alcohol and other drugs. Sensory cues — such as tastes, smells or the sight of a bar — can elicit cravings to drink and cause relapses in recovering alcoholics. Dopamine may be critically involved in such cravings, scientists believe. [11 Interesting Facts About Hangovers]In the study, researchers gave 49 male volunteers a tiny taste (half an ounce, or 15 milliliters) of their favorite beer over the course of 15 minutes — enough to taste the beer but not enough to cause a change in blood-alcohol level or intoxication. At other times, the volunteers were given a sports drink or water, for comparison.

Irish vs. Chelydra Serpentina....Alternate Title.. Nice Snapper!
I sometimes walk through the conservation area behind my shop during lunch hour.
Today is sunny and in the 60's so off I went. About 3/4s of the way along the trail
I rounded the bend and heard a wet reptilian voice say "DOST THOU DARE TO PASS?"
Needless to say this fucker was BIG... My guess is front to back 18 inches and almost that in width.
I skirted around him and left him alone other than to take his mug shot in case he kills the next walker.

Pretty Cool Short Sci-Fi Film.......R'Ha....
This "kid" is only 22 years old.....
Just two weeks ago, Kaleb Lechowski popped up on the Internet radar everywhere (that is important to filmmaking) with his short film R’ha. Set on an alien planet where the machines built to serve the residents of the planet revolt and begin to destroy their creators. As usually happens in stories like this, some of the residents escape. So the scene that plays out in this intense, vividly detailed, and stunningly animated short is an interrogation sequence.
As we hurtle towards the stunning conclusion of this short it is hard not to feel respect for the army of animators, colorists, sound designers and technicians who made this film possible. So imagine mine (and the film world’s) surprise when it was discovered that Mr. Lechowski did all the animating work himself. Over seven months. In fact he is still studying.
Yeah.
So check out his short film here and then scroll on downwards to read an interview with the filmmaker.

A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins With One Step...
I have a pedometer on my cell phone that gives you a route to walk as incentive. The one that I am currently on is a cross country
journey that starts in Sacrameto. I started over a year ago and when ever I walk or hike I use the pedometer function
to keep track of the distance. As of today I have "walked" from Sacrameto Ca. to Cheyenne Wy. a journey of 1,117 miles
according to the pedometer. I put the way points from the phone into a google map just to see my "progress" going across the country. Below is the map it generated. The total journey is
2894 miles and I am 38% of the way there.
My cell is a G'zone Ravine with the G'zGear Software.

There are Lots of Conflicting Reports as Usual...
... It will be interesting to see what filters out and how much gets scrubbed by the media
We normally see the first reactions and the quick eye-witness reports that get removed
as time goes by.
I don't think there will be anything we can do about this until we secure our borders
and stop frisking grandmothers and infants at the airport and start focusing on the
real perpetrators of this kind of terrorism.

Reported Saudi National Suspect????
BOSTON — Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon
finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry
off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from
Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.
A federal law-enforcement source confirmed to The Post there are at least 12 dead and nearly 50 injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.
Authorities have a identified a suspect, a Saudi national, who is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital with shrapnel wounds.
Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of a nearby hotel.

Something is WEIRD...My Cell Won't Connect to any call and I'm in southern NH ( UPDATE)

I just heard they shut down cells thinking that might have
been the way they triggered the (devices) "IF" that is
what they were.

A Victorian Doctor's Prescription for Health
I got this from Laphams Quarterly from a link at MDA.
It is a most extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to the conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease therein dealt with in its most virulent form. The diagnosis seems in every case to correspond exactly with all the sensations that I have ever felt.
I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight ailment of which I had a touch—hay fever, I fancy it was. I got down the book and read all I came to read, and then, in an unthinking moment, I idly turned the leaves and began to study indolently diseases in general. I forget which was the first distemper I plunged into—some fearful, devastating scourge, I know—and before I had glanced half down the list of “premonitory symptoms,” it was borne in upon me that I had fairly got it.

Collecting Symptoms
It was my liver that was out of order. I knew it was my liver that was out of order, because I had just been reading a patent liver-pill circular, in which were detailed the various symptoms by which a man could tell when his liver was out of order. I had them all.
