Sodium Chlorite

OMG! Ew. Stay away from it, that is all.

It is in tanks we are waning and preping for fiber glass, but when it is being washed out if grabs into the water and floats in the air, even the fumes are like, ugh frik!

Apparently it is used for sterilization in meat factories but ya...stuff burns your eyes, almost similar to onions but with a more chemical like feeling...ouch.

Ciao for now.

Women and sports.

Let me stop you right there. Crazy feminists, gosh, I'm writing alongside your thoughts so don't even get all nitty natty at the title before you read the article. Holy tamoli! Like hounds, people wonder why the media and gender in education course was such a target for me. People just can't wait to hear what is going to be said, and yes people, as in human beings, as in all people of every shape and every size, every colour and every belief; so quick to draw your weapon yet I come in peace.

So! As I was stating...women and sports has always been one of those neglected or underestimated topics. Women have just as much capability at playing sports as men; and women sometimes even play harder because they have something to prove. 

I'm going to say something, if uo don't like it, bite me but it's science and fact! Women are usually at a biologically greater disadvantage when playing sports against men. This is not true in all cases but realistically speaking of the masses, let's think about this. Many factors play into this and many actors have been changing over the years so in going to write this as accurately as possible based on previous reading and observation.

That is one thing I absolutely despise about writing articles or posts of this nature, you need to be politically correct and if you can't be, you need to thoroughly explain the things you say or ppffftttt, good luck climbing out of that hole. Especially being. Heterosexual, white, middle class male....ppfftttt no one of any sort of minority or marginalized group wants to hear what I have to say because I physically cannot relate. I don't care what you say or how you say it but emotions are also apart of science, emotions are universal, the gravity of them in situations is not, but sadness and insult are something everyone feels, the contexts in which we feel then is the determining factor.

Well now that you have completed my sensitivity training and you understand that I mean no harm, in going to write this how I would say it if I was explaining to someone close to me, so bite me, you been warned.

Women do not get much; if any tv spots on sport networks. Television sporting networks are overrun by the latest trades and games. It was actually so neglected that even on the slowest sports news day, women still only got a weaker (much weaker amount of tv exposure) than men. This is not even talking about the stats documented in article in a study that was done over 100 straight hours or so of television being watched while the channel was on the sporting networks. This expanded to four different networks. Guess which was the most negligent towards women's sports? Three somewhat local networks and sports centre, just guess? I guess unmade it pretty obvious, but ya, SC!

The article I read even talked about how, okay, actually, question for sports fans:

How many female sports news anchors are you familiar with? How much tv time do they EVER get compared to the makes? Exactly. Don't know and an even bigger don't know. No, no, no sports fans, don't say oh well I think; well maybe...no! You know it's true. It's a man's world, kinda...

Anyways! So ya, something else to think about, when they do cover women's sports, how much footage, interview time  and overall general mention do they get? Oh buddy! You don't know? Let me tell you, next to none. 

One occasion a woman had a long, well longer interview than usual, was sable, the wwe (back then, wwf) wrestler. They visited her on a shoot for playboy magazine I believe and instead of focusing on her career and what not, they remarked on her sexuality...pretty much the entire segment. Bold, cause she probably could have beat the heck out of the reporter lol 

Another time a woman had record week long mention was an athlete who lost her shirt during the sport and that is exactly why she was mentioned for that long; she was mocked and degraded by reporters and anchors saying that she would be great at commercially advertising women's sports bras, etc. I'm all for jokes and poking fun once in awhile, but she is a career athlete, surely the time allocated to mentions and jokes of her could have been a little more encouraging. 

I could go on, start talking about sports illustrated and say that women are more known for their bikini slots in that magazine than they are for the athletes featured in them, women specifically, sometimes even guys though. I know next to nothing about sports magazines other than that you get a lot of personal lives and careers of athletes, etc. but I better know the magazines for their infamous bikini issues. I feel bad saying that, but then again, I mean sports is just not something that interests me like comics or girls do.

Anywho. Rant over. Stay mindful of those women boys and recognize their talents as well as their beauty. The only thing more attractive (to me at least) than a beautiful woman, is a beautiful woman that I can speak with.

Inclusion

The more the merrier, isn't that what they say?

Why do we segregate so much, please, don't get me started on this very very general and hard to argue topic; this one is specific to a subculture and a generation on their way out the door. 

What do you envision when you retire? Was it being bathed, having your diapers changed and being told where to be at what times? I know I'm hoping for euthanasia before then.

Seniors are taken on day trips all the time and cooped up in doors even more. Tell me they wouldn't be excited to go out more often. 

Where would they go and what would they do? Why would I be the one talking about this?

Stan lee is 91 years older what he was when he was born. I don't call him old because I have never been aware of someone like himself at such an age. The man started it all, marvel universe which obviously came after DC but the two have a very distinct difference and that is what draws me to appreciate marvel a little but more.

So the point in getting at is this, why do we never include seniors in pop culture? 

I think you see where I am going with this but you are missing the overall vision, and if you jump to the Heros blog section, you may be surprised :) 

For this post though, I'll leave it at this and hopefully you kind of got the idea of how inclusion is a mandatory tool to success.

Never stop learning.

It is so important in life to constantly feel ambitious about what you can do and the limits of your knowledge.

In all seriousness, no one wants to be a student for life, but in reality we are. The very simple act of waking up each morning is signifier that we have began the day ready to learn something. Yes something's we can learn or be in to he process of learning over and over and over again. Example: "ugh, I won't drink that much before work again!" Then we proceed to do the opposite and drive that same amount if not more, the night before work.

There is so much in the world, so many things to see and so many people to meet. What do you want to do with your life, because whatever it is, you will always be learning something different about, whether it be procedural memory or not is a different story, but the point is, without people willing to constantly learn more, the world would be stagnat and unmoving, we would not want move further in life or achieve anything more than what we already have.

I know as a teacher I'll never have a chance to stop learning, that is going to be my area of expertise, an experienced student.

I'll leave with a story about the first ever recorded orca whale taking down and eating a great white shark. Ya very uck #truestory! I was not there but saw a special on discovery YouTube channel about it. 

It was 27 miles off the coast of LA and involved one orca whale from the LA orca whale POD and a great white shark. Orca whale watchers were on a regularly scheduled expedition when they noticed in a distance, an orca whale splashing around and as they got closer, then realized it was attacking, or at this point, killing- a great white shark. 

The orca whale has never been seen or recorded in anyway as a killer of great white sharks. How is this possible!? Sad day for shark lovers. #sharkweek if you don't know what it is.

This rare case led to the investigation of the incident which resulted in these findings; the orca whale attacked and barrel rolled the great white shark, turning him upside down. Then after holding him still for a short period of time, he drowned the great white shark then allowing another orca whale to come feast on the liver (that was the main thing the orcas wanted).

So how was it able to take down the great white without even so much as a Real splash frenzy? Simple really, but how did the orca whale know to do the trick to the great white!? Sting rays And sharks come from the same ancestry and  whales constantly feed on them. Whales will turn upside down and blow bubbles towards the ocean floor which spooks th eating day into open water where the whale will bite onto a fin and swim up wards with it while it is upside down putting it into tonic immobilization and then eating it without being stung.

Tonic immbilization is much similar as to the idea moving chickens. When you are moving chickens, you hold them by both legs upside down in which they do not flip, they hold out their wings and remain still. 

Sharks experience tonic immoblization just as sting rays. This occurs in certain creatures brains as defence mechanism. Playing dead would be the best way to classify and describe it. Unfortunately it makes the great white shark an easy target for he orca whale. The creature gets turned over and chemicals in the brain release endorphins which put the creature in a state of relaxation. 

So when the great white is stopped from escaping, it is also held still. Unlike other sea life. great whites need to be moving through the water in order for their bodies to absorb the necessary components from the water into their bodies. So if they are not moving they drown, much of the same reason fin collecting in Asia is so controversial. The fishermen will catch sharks, cut off the fins and toss the body into the ocean where they bleed out and drown.

Back to the story though, so what though, a great white was taken down, champion, win, hashtag it idk. Well apparently the orca whales are careful and accultured killers. This means that they develop over long periods of time, a way of killing a certain type of prey, and it is learned and passed on through generations of pods. So the astonishing part about this first recorded kill is that this was unexpected and there has been no evidence regarding it ever before.

Something to think about.

Cheers!

Would you smell a fart to save your life.

Hydrogen sulfide a.k.a. Flactulance a.k.a. GTFO you smelly bugger. 

Believe it or not studies have shown that Flactulance is hydrogen sulfide. :p now hydrogen sulfide, is produced by rbc (red blood cells) when they are under stress, see it's a normal thing, everything and everyone farts :p the reason rbc does this is because it protects the mitochondria. 

Farts are dangerous in large quantities but! In tiny doses, can be proven to protect us or prevent dementia, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and a couple other illnesses. Actually, ladies, it also prevents aging....another one of those placenta eating sort things maybe? Ew. To each there own.

Maybe jackass start Steve-o was on to something when he hooked up the gas mask to Preston's rear end :p 

Regardless, it has forever been taboo in society to release these healthy gases in public, idk though, I mean with everything that can give you cancer, if I hear someone let it go, I'll respond, thanks bro. Likewise, I will no longer ask to be excuses for saving your life, I will respond with, you're welcome lol 

So to all my friends and family who are dying on the car rides home and wasting all that healthy odour out of your car window. Your welcome.

Cheers!

Overlooked meat...and breasts

Over cooked or heavily cooked meat (meat cooked at 400 degrees) actually increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, if you are all silicon, I don't believe you have anything to worry about, I may be wrong, but certainly worth looking into. 

Ugh the awkward moment the sump pump kicks out and floods a nicely finished basement. 

I have heard in the past that burned foods are a Carcunegan, I'll look into it and post more about it :)

Remember, if you like well done or so cooked it looks like something that had sat on the grill for days...just remember, red is better :p 

I guess this would be the time the vegan says, I win suckers! And we reply as Terri would, toodalo...she says that is all it is, toodalo, just means goodbye but I think it's a politeish way of saying "to hell with you" lol

Garlic.

Muhahaha

Garlic a.k.a bad breath maximized, #datekiller has always been something that as a child in Italian family, has been a favourite. I never understood what have good such a great taste and let's be reall it was cause if garlic , I mean there is a reason it is made into it's own salt my friend! 

Not only is good for keeping vampires away and killing any who brave to attack you while you have it handy, but it also has some serious health benefits.

When I say serious obviously it needs to used on a regular basis in order for us to benefit from it. They say when you use raw garlic, use one or half a clove at least. If you can't handle raw garlic, use 1-2 cloves; the reason is because like most foods, after introducing them to unnatural elements, such as microwaves or immediate heat, they lose their beneficial properties.

Think of fruits and veggies as people. They have pores, they get hot and they sweat out their nutrients same as how we sweat out our toxins. 

Garlic promotes a higher iron metabolism meaning it can help your cells move iron a lot faster. More iron rubbing trough the blood, means you can soon be calling yourself iron man lol just kidding. As you know iron is great for ladies and their monthly biological obligations. As a diabetic it is very important as well. Remember after eating a lot of garlic over large periods of time, you will need to oil your joints :p 

Garlic especially raw has a great ability to decrease your cholesterol as well. In today's world that is very important, it is actually so important that it is being researched as a tool in clinical use. 

Research has also shown garlic as having the ability to be used as an anti-inflammatory! Great so next time you find out you have an sti or your throat hurts, maybe swallow a teaspoon or rub it onto an inflamed area, I highly recommend you rub it in with a line or water base if you dare to experiment like that lol bleh oh god, how many people that try this, I dare not even think. 

Garlic and it's most well known ability can help prevent ulcers and infection. I learned this when my ma asked me why I was putting the dogs garlic on a sand which I was making on e, it was jarred and very gross. Turns out yes, it is eatable and made for people but te garlic is what she uses to get rid of the dog's worms. I was shocked and still wondered why they would jar this for people, ugh so nasty. I been using Kirkland brand since then :p but apparently the best and most beneficial form to take garlic in this manner would be through powder....not salt! Salt is a sodium! The powder is legit, crushed garlic. The fresher the better as well. 

Rememwber this next time you are cooking up a dish or fighting off a vampire. I wish I knew this earlier in life. But I'm glad I know now.

I have been putting garlic on sandwiches with whole wheat bread and other juicy vegetables to help remove or dilute the taste. I throw it in an all cooking. But I have been doing that wrong. It needs to be added near the tail end of the cooking so it retains most of it's healthy properties. I know some friends load up soup smoothies with it, granted they showered before hand so they stink all day :p but hell, for a healthier life, deodorant and cologne for the win.

Allium is the nutrient in garlic that gives it all these magical abilities.

If you have any easy to use recipes or ideas for garlic use, please comment!

CAUTION: avoid any farts by anyone who just ate garlic, smelling it will not passing you the health benefits, nor will it be pleasant, actually I'll let you know of there are adverse affects when you smell someone's fart lol plotwist; I'm responsible for the development of nose cancer in all my friends lol just kidding, relax.

Rough hands.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already figured it out, working hard and with your hands leads to a build up of calicis and possibly bigger or stronger hands if you have been doing it for a long time.

I want to clear up some political corrections before I get started.

Yes men and women can work hard and with their hands.

Yes working with your hands can constitute anything you snowing your hands but for the purpose of this entry I'm talking about physically demanding labour, no pencil pushing :p and bite me if you are gonna be a whiner because I'm in teaching so yes this applies to me in certain ways and other ways not, so no, I'm not trying to talk down individuals who just don't work physically labourous jobs.

Anyways, so to get started. When you shake someone's hand, there are a series of judgments made immediately.

1. Grip, oh I'm sorry when I shake your hand does it hurt? then learn how to shake a frikin hand, tells a lot about who you are.

2. Looking in the eyes. Hey quit looking everywhere else but my eyes I want to see who it is I'm meeting...you hiding sonething or you just scared bro?

3. 2 shakes for a social meeting, 1 quick jolt of it's an on the job introduction. Times awastin and this job has deadline vs. The social handshake where that may be the only chance you get to talk to that person during the given time so you look them in the eye and state who you are etc.

These are three simple and common sense reasons why you need to work on your handshake if you haven't yet. 

The handshake is just some background idea as to the bigger picture, rough hands. Who has rough hands? Well duh, people who use them for strenuous activity. Lawyers and doctors will not have overly disproportionate or rough hands because they do many other things, like using their minds.

It's no secret that rough hands don't feel the nicest, they have different ways to treat that but I am sure you won't unless it is a legit concern of yours. Ladies always compliment soft hands because they feel nice but psychologically, people are built to find certain things attractive even when they are unaware of it. 

Since the dawn of primate and other beings who sole purpose on earth in their eyes is to reproduce and continue their kin, certain attributes were hard wired into our brains to be found attractive.

Men (straight ones obviously, unless the same thing applies differently between more feminine men and more masculin men, as it does between men and women)

1. Birth giving hips on ladies, meaning she has the ability to give birth without complication 

2. Healthy weight, so her body is able to sustain life within it

3. Youth, the younger she is after being able to ovulate, the more prone she seems to pregnancy

Female

1. Healthy and strong (muscular) as well as rigid looking men...taller too...damn.

2. Ability to provide resource and take care of her and her future child

Rough hands promote some of these attributes and I feel like at one point or another people need to that "rough hands" feeling, not by others, but by having it themselves. It is a character building attribute. 

I'll end with a story I'll never forget. My nonno told me he met a man who claimed he worked a lot, as a living he claimed he was a construction worker. It was the dead of winter. Minus forty something and this guy had to go to work in it, he worked the whole week and came to visit my nonno. When my nonno who is so well rounded in the areas of construction shook his hand. He said to the guy "my god, how are your hands so soft? You been working construction in the dead of winter all season long!?" The man made up some bs and long story short, he was lying the whole time, this man was a fraud and my nonno straight up called him out on it because of something as simple as a handshake. 

Work on it and remember boys. Just cause she is cute, and dainty doesn't mean you can't give her a handshake, just be polite and don't break her hand, just let her know you are a hard working man and you got what you know she is looking for ;)

Cheers!

Problems with conceiving.

This is no where near my area of expertise. Nor is orbsomething I will be practicing anytime soon.

For couples struggling to have children or who want to ensure their chances of having a child and experience some difficulty oiling the gears, here is some useful and extremely helpful advice apparently.

A lot of couples who find it difficult to get prepared for couple exercises, tend to use lubricants, sometimes people use it just for the sake of using it. Well apparently lube can harm the spermatozoa, even if it doesn't contain spermicide. Yes for those of you unaware there is such thing as spermicide, read the packs of your domes and lubes ya goons. 

I heard this on 102.1 the edge from Josie dye. OMG #crush! 

Apparently using egg whites as a lube (yes it is actually sold in store for this purpose as well as for cooking), will be a satisfying lubricant for those hard to grease days in certain lady parts, and most lubes will suffocate or harm sperm where as thennaur proteins and nutrients in the egg white will endorse or encourage sperm to swim to their destination point. Think of egg whites to sperm as spinach to Popeye.

On a note, I just want it made clear that a lady who finds it difficult to grease her own pivot points is not persay finding it hard to be attracted to her man or anything like that. Some ladies just naturally find it more difficult to get there just like some ladies get there and lubricate a lot, never too much natural lube #tmi sorry. Just saying, squirrel is one of my favourite Pokemon :p

And guys don't bug the ladies and don't pressure them, makes it that much worse for them. Sometimes it could even be an anxiety or psychological discrepancy. It's been proven that even the slightest sort of discomfort can disrupt a ladies preparation process, they are just as delicate as they are beautiful boys, play nice. 

Hopefully this didn't disturb you too much. Stay tuned :)

For the ladies...and their men.

Apples are great tasting and apparently keep the doctor away. They come in different colours and range in taste :)

I love all apples, especially apple bottoms. Sorry, different type of apple. I am actually talking about the ones we eat :p 

So this antioxidant in apples has been scientifically proven to increase a lady's lebido apparently. I wonder of thenand antioxidant is in apple pies <333333

OMG! Apple juice!? Is that a thing as well? Just offer up your lady friend some apple juice and let it take care of the rest!? Wait no, I got one better, some hot apple cider? Uhhhh second thought that would probably work best but if it's real cider it wouldn't be because of the antioxidants I believe :p 

So next time your are out shopping, grab a cheap bag of nom nom apples and who knows, even if they don't work biologically, maybe they will work psychologically, sometimes a simple "hey babe," is all that needs to be said :)

As Matt Damon asks a ridiculous person in "good will hunting", "how do you like them apples?"

For the ladies...chest ish area concerns

Hello ladies!

Some interesting information about age, sleep and how you can postpone gravity's affect on the chest ish area. 

For sake of viewers I am going to be using different yet appropriate names for the area in between a ladies ladies shoulders.

So that area just under your neck, as you have experienced or may be fearful of experiencing; gravity will eventually if it doesn't always take over...in natural circumstances at least, if you get silicon surgery well, I would think you need not worry :)

So how do you defy newton's law of gravity? 

Constantly wear something holds them up id imagine, and I believe that is a social norm. 

Maybe get piercings over the peak of the mountain range and then get chains that attach to ear piercings? Ouch...

Well, apparently we as humans and especially in today's lazy day age, we sleep...a lot. And most of us if not a lot of us sleep on the bellies, (guys and girls). So for the ladies, common sense and science have worked together to determine that sleeping on your back will decrease the rate of dropiness in your ballon's ability to float. Yes sleeping on your back regularly makes a difference.

Sleeping on yor side, would that make them start to point side ways then? :p 

Maybe try hanging inside down for 30 mins everyday? Well maybe not that long, all the blood will rush to your head and you may get hurt. 

I wonder if that is how it works for guys and their hotdogs? 

Hmmmm

Well, cheers!

The dream.

Alwaysbhave a dream, or a goal; something to keep you going, something help you balance the good and the bad, the optimism and the pessimism :)

I'll never forget it, I was watching "flight of the phoenix" starring Dennis quade (I think his name is, the guy who played the father in "the day after tomorrow") and there was a scene two characters were talking about getting out of the desert and finding help. The idea was to build a plane out of the wreckage parts that would help then out. Hey were low on supplies and there were a few people there. 

A character said "men need hope, they need to work towards something, without that, they are dead already. And if you can't give them hope or something to look forward to, just give them something to do."

This reminded me of another movie with Richard gere I believe, he played a high ranking and well respected officer who was sent to a military prison for insubordination, in spending his time there, (the actor who played tony soprano) the warden as punishment for malpractice in the prison, told the main character to move a bunch of big frikin rocks under the hot sun from one pile to another. Long story short,  the rocks came from the original prison and were marked by a stone mason who spent his time there. 

The main character used this opportunity to give himself and the other prisoners there, a hobby. He did this because he saw how the men who were going to be there for a long time were acting violently against each other even though they all served in the same family, the military. The men bought into this hobby and longer story short, they found the outlet they needed and the companionship needed to make it through some horrible conditions in the prison. The wall they were building, served as a monument to men able to make a difference in their lives even though it meant nothing to anyone or anything else. 

So from this observation, I came to the conclusion that in life it is true, we see it all the time in the education system, I'll take more about this in the teacher blogs. But in general, we see it all the time, on tv, on the streets, sometimes even with our own families. 

After awhile of waiting or struggle, people stop caring because they feel like they are working towards nothing. I once heard from someone close to me say, ppfftttt what's a kind of credit anyway I'll be dead before I could ever pay off the mortgage. Like really? No! I mean, ya it's a worry free way of looking at it which is alright for your mentality depending on how you are under stress, but realistically, probably not a good way to think about it. 

Life is too short. And that saying can be taken in a bad way or a good way. But the point is, well I guess it is all dependent on your aims and goals in life. But the point I'm trying to make is, we need the goals, we need the chance to see what it is we are doing take affect on our overall goal. The best way to do that is sometimes break down the big goals into smaller goals. More small dreams that build the bugger dream. 

In my end game, I want about 6 acres of land, a small hobby farm, somewhere around Hamilton in the countryside. My house needs a pool, balcony, low maintenance, grass, pond, patio; wife kids, the whole nine yards. I need to be a teacher, and I want an inexpensive car that is good on gas. Maybe a show car for Sunday drives :p I want to be next ronni debt and be able to enjoy family bbqs. This is the big dream. 

Where am I starting? Well, the job market for what I do is not so good at the moment. So I am making my way to where I can get helpful and meaningful experience that will help me land the job I want one day. 

I'm going to start putting money away whole paying off my student loan, and hopefully in the future have the makings of the dream I have had since I was in highschool.

Always remember that when pwople no longer feel they have anything work towards they fall into a state if depression and life loses meaning, often times why people seem so hard done by when really, if they pull themselves together; they could be anywhere and do anything.  The only thing between you and the dream is one space.

Dream on as Aerosmith says.

Cheers!

Smile and nod.

Boys and girls.

Boys when it comes to girls, sometimes you are best to just smile and nod, "you don't think these pants make me look fat, right?" 

Response: smile and nod

Girls when it comes to boys saying how they think friends don't like him cause he is not same style as them, smile and nod,  worst base scenario, you get him to quit walking around like he is the hottest tamoli around :p 

I think most guys have thicker skin than girls in some ways, so I mean really. Girls don't be afraid to use the smile and nod, boys, use it with caution. During arguments would be best though, it can be used to prevent arguments but like I said use with caution.

For kids, "Johnny! Go clean your filthy frikin room!"

Response: *smile and nod*

For employees, "Johnny, you are such a slacker. This is the fifth time you showed up late to work, you are not even. Clean shaven! Don't do this  again or it will be the last time."

Response: *smile and nod*

It is probably thebworstbthihg to do to build communication and your self esteem but sometimes, it's best to avoid headaches.

Good communication would mean you are listening to what the other person is saying, you are thinking to yourself in a thesis-antithesis-synthesis model and then taking that thesis or anti thesis and working towards a synthesis. Now granted you are the more rational one as always! And the other person is not just listening, this is when smile and nod is important. Sometimes we need to take one for the team. Obviously of you need to do this more often than not, the relationship is unhealthy or the communication between you two need to be worked on. 

Doing this too often will start to make you numb. It is normal to experience random outbursts and ridiculous moments of silliness. At least I feel like that is whathappened with me. It is important to have someone to take to the side and talk to about the way you feel. Otherwise bottling up, you will eventually burn out. 

Smile and nod. Smile and nod boys, learned that technique from the penguins in Madagascar lol

Cheers!
