Did you know that carrots are known to greatly enhance blood flow to the eyes? It’s easy to remember because a sliced carrot looks like the human eye. Cut up some carrots and have them washed and ready in your fridge to grab when you get hungry instead of empty calorie foods like cookies or cake.

Les Jupes - "One Solemn Oath": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Les Jupes are a new band from the centre of Canada versed in expansive musical landscapes, sharp lyrics and an observer's eye for the world. They are four Anglos with a French name making big, broad and determined music. And they are at the centre of a prairie renaissance growing around Head In The Sand Records. Their debut album Modern Myths is built on Michael Petkau Falk's baritone charging through waves of psychedelia and driving rhythms. Pounding, introspective, at times fierce, at times playful. It is purposefully dyslexic - an echo of the characters entombed and a mirror of the writer. Having moved to Montreal and quitting music in 2005, this album culminates the creative turnaround of "the patron saint of the Winnipeg music scene" (Jaxon Haldane) - a process which also brought us the Record Of The Week Club in 2009. Modern Myths was recorded over a year and a half when Montreal producer/engineer Marcus Paquin (frontman of Last Gang's Silver Starling) found time from working on Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. Marcus and Mike have that rare magic found in friends who share similar musical visions. The process of recording Modern Myths also brought turnover - one version of Les Jupes slowly dissipated and another has come to take its place. David Schellenberg (The Playing Cards), Adam Klassen and Kelly Beaton (All Of Your Friends) have brought new passion and skill to this song cycle and anticipation for next wave of songs.

YAH'S DOOM OF Satan's FALSE BLUE BEAM RAPTURE UFO'S ALIENS HOLOGRAMS REPTILIANS ORGONE
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:46:29 02/05/12
Video originally done by EFESIOSSEISDIEZ Please visit http://www.amightywind.com and http://www.almightywind.com YAHUSHUA (עשוהי), a Hebrew Name, is the original Name of JESUS. We are still saved in the Name JESUS but the antichrist will use the name Jesus Christ for himself IN THE TRIBULATION, so learn YAHUSHUA's NAME for then. THE FALSE 'BLUE BEAM' RAPTURE February 21, 2008 Translated into Spanish EL FALSO RAPTO HAZ DE LUZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwGQQuFIyGc These are the Words of YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA and the RUACH ha KODESH. These Words are what they have said regarding the False Blue Beam Rapture. These Prophetic Words have been compiled from the Prophecies spoken and written through Apostle Elisabeth Elijah Nikomia. Please click on the Prophecy number and title to read Prophecy in its entirety. We pray you hear the voice of YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA and the RUACH ha KODESH and you will not be a victim of the False Blue Beam Rapture.. Now I give a new warning to you. For those that believe in the coming of YAHUSHUA again, you use the word rapture, the catching away of MY faithful Women and Men and Children. I warn you now, BEWARE MY CHILDREN of a COUNTERFEIT RAPTURE devised by those you trust. When they say, "Jesus is here," when they say, "Jesus is there, come and meet us there." (Matt 24:23-24) Beware MY Children of the HOLOGRAM in the sky, that will be satan coming in disguise. For new weapons shall mow you down. For those who do not listen, for those who do not know, they will be evaporated, they will be nothing more than smoke. For you need not go anywhere for YAHUSHUA to come, MY Son will come where you are. Beware MY Children of the BLUE BEAM RAPTURE, which is no rapture, for it is evil being caught away, when they thought they were coming to behold the face of Jesus. I allowed them to be deceived, for if you were truly hearing from ME you would know your word, you would know even the very elect would be deceived. This is the plan, this is the plot of the enemy, just to show you what evil is. Not all who gather will be evil, some just haven't heard the warnings, some don't know how to hear MY voice, so I tell you to warn them. For MY Son doth come but the devil tries to go before, so warn them. Test the Spirit that speaks. Yes, it is true that the dead in the MESSIAH shall arise, and you which remain will be caught up in the air to meet MY Son but the devil goes before. Be warned those with ears, listen, those with spiritual eyes, see, so you will not be fooled when this counterfeit tries to appear before thee. When your own politicians around the world look up to the sky and say, "There is a greater GOD coming than I," they will see apparitions; yes they will say they see space ships. It will make your news. An alien will even be interviewed. Remember MY Children whence this comes, satan goes before MY Son. Satan mocks me in all ways, the greatest mockery is trying to steal MY true Babies, Bride, Chosen ones and Elect away. Science

Check out how the Queen of Pop and a few others raised a major flag with fashion this week. When you're the half time performer at the Super Bowl- you know all eyes are gonna be on you the entire week. So we have to wonder what Madonna was thinking when she went with this pegged pant with lace vest number for her half time presser in Indy. And that chain? Come on Madge! You're could trip and pull the other hamstring... But we do give her points for her Victor Cruz-inspired Salsa... Ashley Greene was on Live With Kelly Friday and the two decided to do a strut off...and while we think Ashlee has the whole catwalk thing down...we are NOT digging her dress. It looks like she's wearing an apron that's half falling off. And those shoes? No bueno. But Kelly- you look adorbs per usual. Kat Von D is trying to bounce back after a messy breakup with Jesse James...but girl- wearing a get up like this...isn't gonna do it.

Foggy Florida Pileup Leaves One Girl Without Family, Country Or Health Insurance
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 00:00:27 02/02/12
On Saturday morning Lidiane Carmo woke up in Florida, where she was attending a church conference with her father, mother, and sister. Carmo was the youngest in her family, and they had traveled to Florida with her pastor father, her aunt, uncle and cousins as well as several other other church members.
On Sunday morning, Lidiane woke up in a Florida hospital with broken bones and internal injuries after the van they were traveling in was involved in Sunday's horrendous highway pileup on I-75 near Gainesville, Florida. Her father, mother, sister, uncle, aunt and cousin were killed. She is the sole survivor in her immediate family.
Lidiane's parents came to the United States from Brazil 12 years ago, bringing five-year old Letiticia and three-year old Lidiane with them. They had legal visas which have since expired.
Lidiane is now an orphan. She has no health insurance. She has no legal status to remain in this country. And she has no family beyond those remaining members of her father's church. She is the sole survivor.
If we had a DREAM Act in place, Lidiane could petition for citizenship here since she entered the country legally. But we don't, and because of Republicans' insane need to pander to bigots and racists, we're unlikely to see it without a completely different Congress.
I'm writing about Lidiane because she puts a very human face on what they're doing when they block the DREAM Act. I wonder if any of these crazy Republican candidates could gaze into her frightened, hurting eyes, and tell her she has to go back to a country she doesn't even know. I think they could, and that should concern us all.
Congress forced a clause into the Affordable Care Act which excluded undocumented immigrants from coverage. The exclusion wasn't simply from federal funds for subsidies. They are barred from purchasing insurance on the state-based exchanges and the national exchange. Barred. Even if they pay with their own funds. Barred.
Today a 15-year old child is in a hospital in Florida, suffering from severe injuries, bereft of her family, in Rick Scott's state. What will become of her?
Atlanta Journal-Constitution: >
As for Lidiane's status, one expert had reassurance for her friends and surviving relatives.
Charles Kuck, an Atlanta immigration attorney, told the AJC that Lidiane would not be deported because of a federal law granting special status to juveniles. Lidiane can become a ward of the state and be issued a green card, allowing her to stay, Kuck said.
"This child will be fine," Kuck said. "She's clearly an orphan at this moment."
But the Brazilian consulate was not as reassuring: >
At the church Tuesday night, a representative from the Brazilian Consulate in Atlanta addressed crash survivors and others in the congregation.
"I want to give you my love and our support," Ana Claudia Rodrigues, deputy consul general for the consulate, said through a translator.
But when crash victims asked about help, Rodrigues said she could only convey their concerns to the Brazilian government. Immigration issues are not up to the consulate, Rodrigues said, but the U.S. government.
"She didn't answer any of our questions," Weberson Barbosa, a crash survivor still on crutches, said Tuesday night. "We need someone to really view our pain and take action."
Lidiane's family, before the crash Yes, they really do. I wonder. Would Ron Paul tell this family to rely on charity? Would Mitt Romney tell this family to rely on charity? Would Newt Gingrich summon the neighborhood council to testify to Lidiane's character? Oh wait. She hasn't been here long enough.
Something is really broken in a country where a 15-year old child can suffer like this while politicians preach family values and American exceptionalism. Really broken.

The Dalit Massacre of Paramakudi
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 11:57:20 01/30/12
Tamil Nadu Police uses teargas, lathi and guns on unarmed dalit protesters. 11th September, 2011 was the day Paramakudi resident Valiswamy’s wife Gayatri gave birth to their first child. He was a dalit while she was from an upper caste family. In a caste sensitive area like Paramakuddi, inter-caste marriages are rare and they have to survive immense social pressure to come together. Valiswamy and Gayatri had fought hard and negotiated a truce with these forces. He was on his way to the hospital when he was caught in the Paramakudi firings, a widely reported incident in which the Tamil Nadu police opened fire on a group of unarmed dalits who were staging a peaceful protest. Valiswamy would not survive to see his newborn. “The families of the bereaved have received their compensations from the government but other than that, nothing has happened. The perpetrators are scot free. In fact, the chief minister has since been effusive in her praise for the state police. And the dalits are continuing to live in a stifling atmosphere of violence and fear. The incident has been a backlash to dalit morale in Tamil Nadu.” Dalit activist and IndiaUnheard Community Correspondent Mani M. aka Makkal Sevakan sounds angry and weary as he describes the situation in Paramakudi 5 months after the police’s attempts to disband a peaceful protest against the incarceration of popular dalit leader John Pandian resulted in the murder of 6 dalits and injuring many others. The incident caused uproar in the country. Dalit and Human Rights Organizations from across the nation condemned the attack and called for investigation. The media covered the incident extensively. The fact finding team set up to probe the incident made a strong case against the actions of the police but still as Mani puts it ‘nothing has happened.’ 54 years ago, Paramakudi was witness to one of the biggest caste riots in the country, a skirmish that cost the life of dalit iconoclast and leader, Immanuel Sekaran who was amongst the first Tamil Nadu dalits to advocate for dalit empowerment and rights against 3000 years of upper caste oppression. On 11th September, John Pandian was scheduled to arrive to pay his respects at Sekaran’s memorial. But using the sensitive atmosphere caused by recent murder of a dalit high school boy for allegedly writing offensive graffiti against the upper castes as a pretext, the police pre-emptively arrested him. When the crowd gathered to receive Pandian heard news of the arrest, they protested by peacefully occupying the road. The police’s diplomatic response was teargas and a lathi charge. The mood soured and the crowd turned unruly. A few protestors began pelting stones against the police. The police responded with gunfire. “It is not like the police could not handle the situation. There is an upper caste festival in Paramakudi each year that goes smoothly without the need to resort to pre-emptive arrests and lathi and gunfire. But the first time the dalits try to get together and organize a festival, it ends in tragedy,” says Mani. Mani was in Chennai on the fateful day when he heard of the Paramakudi firings. He immediately got on the first train. When he arrived, he saw a wasteland of police barricades, empty streets and burning vehicles. Some of Mani’s friends who had been part of the protest had managed to record footage of the police bashing in the heads of the people and shooting at unarmed civilians. The footage, which offers a birds eye view of the incident, justifies the statements of the fact finding group but there has been similar footage before and witness accounts and reports and photographs and yet, ‘nothing has happened.’ Of all the cases filed in the Tamil Nadu Courts under the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes Protection Act, 95% are acquitted. It is a disturbing figure that makes the atrocities seem insignificant or routine. In the 1969 Kilvenmani massacre, 44 landless dalit labourers were burnt alive for demanding better wages. In 1997, the dalit panchayat president and others were murdered in Melavalau. In September 2002, at Kaundampatti in Dindigul district, a dalit worker was forced to drink urine for having lodged a complaint of trespass with the police. In May 2002, two dalits were forced to eat human excreta in Thinniyam village in Tiruchi district. In 2011, on the 54th anniversary of a dalit massacre and the subsequent murder of Immanuel Sekaran, 6 dalits are killed in broad daylight by the state police. And not a single perpetrator has been brought to justice. Almost as if nothing had happened. ——————————————- For a brief account of the dalit struggle in Tamil Nadu, read http://www.pragoti.in/node/3947

A group of shop owners in southern China's Shenzhen are facing a bleak start to this Year of the Dragon. The shopping complex where their businesses stood is being destroyed. The forced demolition started early Sunday morning, on January 23%mdashthe first day of the Lunar New Year. The three-story oval complex in Longgang district has housed hundreds of businesses for 20 years. Locals say a land developer has been eyeing the prime realty for some time. Shopkeepers have resisted the developer's land grab attempts, but on the eve of the New Year, the developer started the demolition. It was deliberately masked by the sound of firecrackers. Shop owners who tried to stop the crew were met with violence. [Mr. Yu, Family of Injured Shop Owner]: "He was injured after a dozen people beat him with steel rods. If no one stopped the beating that night, he wouldn't be in hospital now...but somewhere else. Still, he was beaten severely.

The new Opel Ampera has finally delivered what most e-cars have been promising for years - electric power for everyday use. It comes with a price tag, though. For the more economically minded we pit five small family cars against each other. The new BMW 1 Series takes on the VW Golf and other members of the compact segment. And finally a bit of sporty elegance: the Porsche Boxster Spyder.Present it! Opel AmperaWith the Ampera Opel is setting new standards for electric vehicles in everyday use. Its specially designed lithium-ion battery provides energy for the 111 kW electromotor. Depending on driving style, road profile and outside temperature, the fully charged battery will take the car distances between 40 and 80 kilometers on battery power alone - which is still unusual in the e-mobility segment.A classical gasoline combustion engine helps extend the range to up to 500 kilometers. But since the batteries recharge in around four hours, the Ampera can master most inner-city stretches in ultra-quiet electric mode. Compare it! BMW 1-Series - VW Golf - Audi A3 - Ford Focus - Alfa Romeo GiuliettaThe compact class is considered one of the most competitive automobile segments of the German market. Every revamped model, every next generation issue raises the question of who is leading the pack? The newcomer in our contest is the 5-door BMW 1 Series.It represents the second generation compact from the Bavarian carmaker. But will the 1 Series take first place? Four other candidates with diesel engines with around 103 kW power have their eye on the prize. We compare the BMW 118d to the Ford Focus, Alfa Romeo's Giulietta, the Audi A3 Sportback and the VW Golf. Taste it! Mercedes C-Class 350 BlueEfficiency SedanThe C-Class is one of Mercedes-Benz' most successful models. Over 8.5 million have been sold since it was introduced back in 1982, as the Mercedes 190. Drive it! took a look at the version with the most powerful gasoline engine - the C 350 BlueEfficiency sedan. While the C-Class has a high price tag and looks a bit old school, its performance proved to be anything but.Examine it! Roof Boxes - Packing and Travelling SafelyWhen families go on vacation the trunk is usually jam-packed. Many drivers invest in a roof box to give them extra storage space. But is driving with this extra load on the roof really safe?Together with the DEKRA technical testing service, we conducted tests on a compact car and an SUV to see how they handled - with and without roof boxes.
