Creative Dad Takes Crazy Photos Of Daughters If you are tired of posed, stiff and cheesy family portraits, then take a look at these incredibly creative pictures taken by Jason Lee. Jason who is a wedding photographer started taking photos of his two little daughters back in 2006 when his mom was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The girls were constantly sick, with colds and coughs so he couldn’t always bring them to visit their grandmother. Most of the ideas come from his daughters – eight-year-old Kristin and five-year-old Kayla.

The Ancient One Awakens from His Long Slumber Church of the Flying Spaghetti MonsterAnother normal day at Innsmouth Beach. It looks like three surfers are about to be devoured by a Lovecraftian sea monster or a horde of giant octopi. Actually, that's just what a wave looks like when it's full of sunlight and enough seaweed to choke a sperm whale, and it's not all that uncommon. #17.

Patent Confirms Aspartame is the Excrement of Genetically Modified Bacteria (NaturalNews) In 1999, The Independent published an article entitled “World’s top sweetener is made with GM bacteria,” which revealed that Monsanto was knowingly adding aspartame to soft drinks in the United States – and that aspartame is made from GM bacteria. This report, which remains one of the earliest disclosures on aspartame in a mainstream newspaper, received little attention after its publication – possibly because its implications were underestimated at the time – and it has long been forgotten. Since 1999, the world has become a little more attentive to Monsanto and aspartame, but ignorance still abounds about the latter’s genesis. While more and more people are starting to awaken to aspartame’s destructive effects on our health, do they know how it is actually made? The patent, which is entitled Process for producing aspartame and is credited to Bahl, Rose, and White, summarizes the process as follows: Read the full report at NaturalNews.com Image: Flickr/Denise Chan

À huit ans, il tue intentionnellement sa grand-mère Un petit garçon de huit ans a intentionnellement tué sa grand-mère de 90 ans jeudi dernier, après avoir joué à un jeu vidéo violent. C'est la conclusion à laquelle sont arrivés les policiers de la Louisiane, aux États-Unis. La femme, Marie Smothers, a été retrouvée morte d'une balle à la tête dans son domicile de Slaughter, près de Baton Rouge. Tentant de s'en sauver, le garçon a d'abord affirmé aux autorités qu'il avait accidentellement tiré sur sa grand-mère alors qu'il jouait avec le fusil. Aucune charge ne sera cependant retenue contre le bambin, puisque selon la loi en Louisiane, un enfant de moins de 10 ans est exempt de toutes responsabilités criminelles. Grand Theft Auto IV Avant l'accident, la femme regardait la télévision dans le salon, alors que le gamin jouait aux jeux vidéo sur un Play Station III, qui consistait à tuer des gens. «Nous avons un garçon qui ne comprend ni la gravité ni les conséquences de ces gestes», a soutenu un avocat.

(232) Misc Images - Public anatomie comparéen entre herbivore et carnivore, l'homme doit-il manger des animaux ? :végétarisme Belgique Source en anglais : The Comparative Anatomy of Eating - Traduction et mise en forme pour libertero@gmail.com Les êtres humains sont le plus souvent décrits comme «omnivores» . Cette "observation" repose sur le fait que les humains se nourrissent, en général, d'une grande diversité d'aliments végétaux et animaux. Cependant , les cultures et les coutumes sont plutôt des facteurs de confusion et "l'observation" des pratiques alimentaires n'est pas la meilleure technique à utiliser quand on essaye d'identifier le régime alimentaire le plus «naturel» . Une technique plus objective, et donc de meilleure qualité, consistera à examiner l'anatomie et la physiologie humaine. Analyse détaillée La cavité buccale (la bouche) Les carnivores Les carnivores ont une ouverture de la bouche large par rapport à la dimension de leur tête. Le muscle principal utilisé pour l'exploitation de la mâchoire chez les carnivores est le muscle temporal. Les herbivores L'estomac et l'intestin grêle Les carnivores Et moi ?
Pain Blanc et Santé Naturelle - Santé Nature Innovation Le pain, « fruit de la terre et du travail des hommes », est l’aliment de base de notre civilisation. Mais le moment est venu d’arrêter de manger du pain blanc. Voici pourquoi : Trop hybridé Le blé ne peut plus être considéré comme un aliment sain pour qui que ce soit. Ceci est très regrettable parce que le blé était un aliment correct, et qu’il est aujourd’hui utilisé dans d’innombrables farines et aliments, notamment comme épaississant. Trop pauvre en fibres, vitamines et minéraux Dans le pain blanc, la meilleure partie de la farine a été enlevée pour être donnée aux cochons et autres animaux d’élevage. Ne reste qu’un produit quasiment sans fibres, presque sans vitamines ni minéraux, qui n’est au fond que de l’amidon. Ne vous laissez pas impressionner par les étiquettes indiquant que les céréales ont été « enrichies » en vitamines. Trop salé Le pain blanc moderne est trop salé. Trop sucré Trop de gluten A quand une révolte ? Conclusion A votre santé ! Jean-Marc Dupuis
