| Deer Hunt Damage | | 2008-06-03 19:54:48 | | A deer hunter was out enjoying a nice day out in the woods when he decided to take a leak. He walked over to a tree and propped up his gun. Just then a gust of wind blew, the gun fell over and discharged shooting him in the genitals. Several hours later, lying in a hospital bed, he was approached by his doctor, who said, "Well sir, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you are going to be OK. The damage was local to your groin, there was very little internal damage and we were able to remove all of the buck shot." "The bad news is that there was some pretty extensive damage done to your manly part I'm going to have to refer you to my brother." "Oh, well I guess that isn't too bad," the man replied "is your brother a plastic surgeon?" "Not exactly. he's a flute player in the local symphony.

| Bigfoot On Dry Dust - Climate Change And Ecological Damage | | 2008-05-23 06:32:51 | | The recently released annual report from the Climate Living Index states that Australia has the sixth biggest footprint in terms of fossil fuel use and ecological damage. My only surprise at this is that we are sixth and not higher! At the top is the USA, followed by the United Arab Emirates, Finland, Canada then Kuwait. The demands we are making on the natural resources, and by we I mean everyone, not just Australians, is growing and could well lead to our own demise; at the very least, a radically different lifestyle, for fewer people, and possibly only marginally above subsistence level.It is predicted that by 2050, 1.4 billion people will be living under water distress.This all translates to a steep decline the in biodiversity of species, such as fresh water fish, mammals, birds, plants. These issues are serious. Although we seem to think, or hope, that it will not affect us or our lifestyles, it will.

| Statin Drugs Found to Cause Liver Damage | | 2008-05-06 12:20:00 | | (NaturalNews) Evidence is growing that the statins used to treat high cholesterol may cause liver damage in high doses. A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology examined the results of 23 large clinical trials of statins for patterns of liver damage, measured by an increased concentration of the enzymes released when liver cells die.The researchers found that high-dose statins caused 2.4 times as many cases of liver damage as low-dose statins, or 271 cases per 100,000 patients. When the researchers looked at individual statin drugs, they found that Zocor (simvastatin) was 1.6 more dangerous in high doses than low doses, and Lipitor (atorvastatin) was 4.0 times more dangerous.The new study is consistent with prior studies, such as one in the "New England Journal of Medicine" that found a 5.5 higher risk of liver damage from maximum-dose Lipitor relative to a lower dose.Another "New England Journal of Medicine" study found that maximum-dose Lipitor was 4 | | By: Whole Food And More | | |

| Damage Control Nation - Experts agree on something. Finally. Eat more vegetables. | | 2008-05-06 05:00:00 | | Why Veggies?Because they are a prime source of "co-factors" - the term professionals use to refer to vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients the body needs to process food. Co-factors are crucial for absorbing nutrition from food, making fuel for energy, neutralizing stress, and aging gracefully. Even the low carb fanatics know they have to eat veggies with their meat, fish, eggs or cheese. Otherwise, they get stuck and have bad breath. Our bodies can't break down the proteins in meats well enough without co-factors. Not only do poorly processed proteins clog us up, but they cause leaky gut - holes in the intestines that bacteria make, as they gobble up the rotting protein lodged in the intestines.A leaky gut allows foreign substances to pass into the bloodstream and land in joints. This results in inflammation and joint pain. It causes the immune system to start misfiring and the skin to break out in unsightly acne, lesions and scabs.

| Does stress damage the brain? | | 2008-03-19 12:31:45 | | Individuals who experience military combat obviously endure extreme stress, and this exposure leaves many diagnosed with the psychiatric condition of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is associated with several abnormalities in brain structure and function. However, as researcher Roger Pitman explains, "Although it is tempting to conclude that these abnormalities were caused by the traumatic event, it is also possible that they were pre-existing risk factors that increased the risk of developing PTSD upon the traumatic event's occurrence." Drs. Kasai and Yamasue along with their colleagues sought to examine this association in a new study published in the March 15th issue of Biological Psychiatry.

They're trying to catch up to Microsoft in that regard, they said. Car damage? It's coming, they said, but probably not in this first batch of games, we would imagine.

| Holiday Damage Control! | | 2007-12-10 22:24:05 | | It's the next morning ,you wake up feeling like you weigh twice what you did the night before, you're head is achey, you feel bloated and generally feel unfit. As you think back to the night or the nights before you're horrified to think of all the high fat, high calorie foods you ate, not to mention the alcohol.What now?You have 3 choices:1. Wake up and do it all over again by starting the day with a big fry up.2. Starve yourself all day hoping to balance it all out3. Be sensible and apply the rules for damage control.There's really only one choice: DAMAGE CONTROLHere's what to do if you want to get back on track and ensure that you're not ending the holidays by having put on the extra pounds that will take the beginning of the new year to take off.Step 1: Have breakfast - This is the best way to give your metabolism a kick start. People who eat breakfast tend to snack less on unhealthy snacks. Include protein as part of your healthy breakfast as protein takes more energy to digest. Try having natural bio live yoghurt with a small handful of mixed organic nuts, or scrambled eggs with a slice of parma ham. Avoid the bread! It's high in sugar that you're body will store as fat. If you'd like a slice of bread have wheat free gluten free rye bread.Step 2: Eat every 3 hours - Eating every 3 hours will keep your metabolism going throughout the day. Try having small meals high in fibre and protein. Fibre will ensure that you're digestive system gets back on track! Use your left over turkey to make a turkey salad with lots of fresh vegetables, or a light soup made with lots of veggies and homemade turkey stock.Step 3 - Drink Water - Hydration Hydration Hydration. This is the cheapest and fastest way of sheding the pounds! The chemical proccesses in your body need water to work efficiently. Make sure to drink atleast 1 litre for every 50lbs of body weight. The old 8 glasses a day doesn't work for everyone as we're all different sizes. It makes sense that the sma | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| Denial of Service Attack - Collateral Damage? | | 2007-12-04 09:18:00 | | Earlier this morning FeedBlitz web sites were effectively offline courtesy of an apparent distributed denial of service attack that overloaded our web servers. As of now, we've deployed more web servers and taken other mitigation steps to bring the WWW service back online. All functionality should now be readily accessible again.It's my assumption, looking at the logs, that FeedBlitz itself was not the direct target of the attack - we're a service provider, after all, with no particular axe to grind. Rather, a set of bots based in Russia were attacking a client's blog that linked back to us, and they were simply blindly downloading all the links on that particular site. The blog is a security blog discussing, among other things, malware, personal freedoms and its oppressions, things like that. I guess a group of oppressors or crooks didn't like it. FeedBlitz became, in effect, collateral damage as they tried beating up that site.As a result of the extra load, mailings will probably take longer than usual to get out as the mail servers get a chance to catch up.

The resolution is widely expected to clear the committee and chances are very high that it will be approved in the House of Representatives if it is brought to the floor by speaker Nancy Pelosi.

You have consciously built a brand image for yourself and everyone around is happy because you are on top of the world. But then as you become successful, you attract detractors too. One or more such animals with an axe to grind against you start spreading stories about you and most of them are not pleasant. Some of the posts appear on the first two pages of a popular search engine. You find yourself as the object of ridicule and contempt. You have been branded as an alcoholic rather than a workaholic. People read negative, exaggerated information and then spread stories adding their own dash of spice in their discussions about you, with their colleagues. You have to seriously safeguard your reputation before some more negative posts appear on the front page of Google. A reputation-maligning post like this on the front page of Google or such other search-engine is as bad as infamous front page news. When you see a scandalizing post like this affecting you, your profession or business, you have to first analyze the gravity of the situation. Is it really bad for you? Can it affect the way you live or deal with people? A celebrity friend of mine was in a similar situation where her image was taking a beating due to some posts that made their way to the front page of the search results of Google. My friend cried foul, harped that she was misquoted but the posts kept on coming. She contemplated calling the website owner and threatening to issue a law-suit. However, there was risk involved and it could take off some of her time. She had to protect her image and online reputation management was the first thing on her mind. Some websites were getting regular hits by writing trash about her. My friend then decided to act wisely a built a strong, positive image about herself through online reputation management. She hired someone who could write keyword driven content for her that put her in the positive light. She joined some of the social netwo | | By: online reputation management | | |

| The damage that China's double-digit GDP growth is doing to the environment | | 2007-08-04 23:18:00 | | The outcome of the debate is important for the course of a country that will soon overtake the United States as the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases and where hundreds of millions of people have no access to clear drinking water. A year ago, the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) jointly released China's first green GDP report, estimating the cost of pollution in 2004 at 3.05 percent of gross domestic product.

| Damage Control | | 2007-06-19 20:08:00 | | Marvel Entertainment is riding high this summer. They have two top movies of the summer. With X-Men 3 came out last summer and Iron man and hulk coming out later it looks like all the my favorite super heroes will make on the big screen.The one I want to see is Damage Control. This was a limited series comic. In Marvel Comics Presents #19 Damage Control debuted. This was as one of the co-creator Dwayne McDuffie “A sitcom within the Marvel Universe.”Damage Control is a fictional construction company that specialized on repairing the property damage caused by conflict between superheroes and villains.It is understandable why it did not become a regular comic. I think I own the first issue when I was a kid. It had a Monty python humor to the comics.Click here to read the original pitch to Marvel ComicsOn Dwayne McDuffie homepage he say he is one of the co-creators of Damage Control (soon, as they say, to be a Major Motion Picture) so maybe they are going to bring this to big screen.

| More Archaeology Damage... | | 2007-06-13 11:16:00 | | The minarets of the Askariya ShineA series of blasts have destroyed two minarets at an already damaged Shia shrine in the northern Iraqi town of Samarra. The explosions were heard in the vicinity of the Ashariya mosque at about 9:00 am on Wednesday.Police said the Shia-dominated ministry had been responsible for security at the mosque, after taking over from local security forces in April. In February 2006, the highly revered shrine was bombed by alleged al-Quaeda fighters. The attack destroyed its golden dome.The bombing last year triggered nationwide Shia and Sunni sectarian clashes. The Askariya contains the tombs of the tenth and eleventh imams, Ali al-Hadi, who died in 868, and his son Hassan Askariya, who died in 874. Descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, Shias consider the two imams among his natural successors.I've recently made it clear how disturbed I am by the destruction of the ancient buildings and artifacts...well...in any country.

| Mattress fire causes huge damage | | 2007-06-10 18:31:52 | | It’s another one of those fires that is due to someone else’s carelessness. On the bright side though, nobody was injured in this incident.
A mattress fire at 117 Ave.- South caused about $15,000 worth of damage to the home Thursday. At around 6 a.m., the residents were awakened by smoke detectors and managed to get out of the building before fire crews arrived. The first fire engine arrived at the scene in less than four minutes after the call and quickly gained control of the blaze. Firefighters remained on the scene for about an hour, ventilating smoke from the home. The fire was caused when a resident of the home fell asleep while smoking, the fire department says. No injuries were reported.

| My dog is urinating on my lawn and it is discolouring the grass, what can I do to stop this and how can I repair the damage? | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | The only true way to prevent this is to train the dog to urinate somewhere else. The chemicals in animal urine (dog, fox, badger) will change the appearance of a lawn. If the event is witnessed then the area concerned can be washed down with plenty of plain water; diluting the chemicals to prevent any major damage. A poorly fed lawn will show urination spots as lush, dark green, quick growing patches. In a well fed lawn the animal urine will cause brown patches where the turf looks dead and perhaps a dark green surrounding edge. If you have lush, dark green patches these need to be systematically mown down to the height of the rest of the lawn; and the lawn needs to be given a high quality feed. Brown patches need to be raked to remove dead fibres, then overseeded, using a 50/50 soil/seed mix. | | By: Laying and Caring for your turf | | |
