I love this Doctor (I really don't-healthy eating & exercising is of course best!) Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.. And remember: 'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride' AND..... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies. 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. CONCLUSION Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. |

the slide show is all the flower show images i got yesterday. I have yet to fully go through the hockey game shots. Ive been sort of relaxing today in recovery mode. The odd thing is, when i shoot something the good shots do stand out but many times the ones i overlook will look better a day or so after the event. Not always but many times it just seems to happen for some odd reason. This should be the kickoff of my spring weed bloom shooting as things start sprouting up here. crocii then the violets and all the other wild blooms that appear courtesy of mr and mrs deer's gifts and other objects wash onto the lawn here |

Birds in flight are not easy to shoot. 1 the shutter speed required to catch them in flight needs to be relatively fast and 2 with longer lenses you have a very narrow field of view of what is happening in front of you and the camera. Also, with longer length lenses even the slightest movement of either the shooter, the camera or the lens itself can blurr the shot which often means a tripod has to be used. Alot of bird shooters work from a blind and know their subjects habbits such as you do with hoot so you can plan how you wish to shoot hoot . I would surmise many of the top notch bird shooters can wait hidden in one location for hours just to get that one shot if they get it at all Birds are rather unwilling models and just wont pose for us. They are rather flighty and will fly off the handle in a fit if they are provoked. Even more so than a cute puppy or putty tat and almost as bad as snotty prima donna runway model we hear about from time to time

A while back I posted a story my mother sent me about an Alaskan eagle, 5M (Majesty), who was found entangled in a fence on Fort Hunter Liggett Military Reservation here in California in February. She had been sent to the Pacific Wildlife Care facility in Morro Bay for treatment of her injuries when I first heard about her. Mom just sent me this update of Majesty's story. Unfortunately, it is a sad one -
http://www.ventanaws.org/pressroom/index.htm EDIT: I was just over in the Questions thread and someone had asked about 5M's euthanization. In Dr. Sharpe's reply he says "One of our females, A-23, appears to be the female that has replaced her at the nest at Fort Hunter Liggett." That sounds promising! :soar: |

George people might think we tried to kill each other yesterday, with us complaining about how sore we both are. Next time please walk a little slower. I felt like a Geisha walking 10 paces behind the man! So do you want to try shooting at my Club's Specialty? I will be working in the Confirmation Ring, which is strictly German Shepherd's. The Obedience Ring will be all Breed. Anything from a Chihuahua (smallest breed), to a Irish Woldhound (the largest breed). Obedience is on both Sat & Sun. and My Classes are only on Sun., but I will be there Sat to help out. I get points for my Club Jacket by working the shows. I have Sponsored several Classes, which will also give me Point's. Good night Peetie. Please cheer up my friend. I can't take you being "down". I breaks my heart. Will try to Post a lot more over this weekend on Ireland in the other Thread. No one is Posting anything about the First Annual Easties Get Together in September. This is going to be an awesome experience. So come one, come all and we will have a ball! Post if you will be attending in the other Thread. We need to know how many are planning on coming. So I know how much to buy. |
