Discover giant man-eating bird in World
2009-09-14 16:44:00 A massive man-eating bird of prey from ancient Maori legend really did exist, according to new research.Scientists have known about the existence of Haast's eagle for over a century based on excavated bones, but the behaviour of these giant birds was not clear.As the eagles weighed up to 40 lbs some scientists presumed they were scavengers rather than the predators from mythology.Scientists used computerised CT scans to reconstruct the Haast's eagle from a fossil of its skullBut a new study has revealed the eagle as a fearsome predator that probably swooped on flightless birds and even children from a high mountain perch.Researchers Paul Scofield of the Canterbury Museum in New Zealand and Ken Ashwell of the University of New South Wales used computerised CT and CAT scans to reconstruct the size of the brain, eyes, ears and spinal cord of this ancient eagle.This data was compared to values from modern predatory and scavenging birds to determine the habits of the extinct eagle.Prof...

Healthy eating with a spiritual twist
2009-07-20 17:00:00 Apparently a lot of folks don't like hearing that heating olive oil in a pan can create toxic fumes. From readers accusing me of being irresponsible as a journalist (this is a BLOG people-) to others accusing my source, George Mateljan, of being a quack, everyone has an opinion. There's also the question of what this all has to do with being spiritual, dammit?! While I don't think you have to drop all of your vices to embrace the "woo-woo" beat, I do think eating healthy foods helps raise your vibration. And if you don't believe me, or George, I bet you'll believe Dr. Oz......
So I'm eating a tostada... and then it comes to me...
2009-07-14 08:30:00 I haven't been blogging much the last month and a half as I've been real busy with Wanna Dive. I mentioned earlier that I've rented out a spot across from the harbor for an office/storage/classroom/meetin-g spot/place to hang my T-shirts.Here's a refresher look at the space.I wanted to set up the spot in a way that I could display my shirts and whatever else I may have at some point. Originally I wasn't really thinking of painting it, just washing the wall and hanging some slatwall or gridwall. I was looking at one of the fishing charter stores in the area and saw bright red slatwall, found it curious and asked Pat of her opinion, and what would she think if I put in a sheet of slatwall and painted it red with a diagonal white stripe to do the dive flag thing... she said go for it. That's about all I planned at the time - white walls, a sheet of slatwall looking like a dive flag.... then I got to thinking, I'm gonna have this gosh-awful red thing on one wall of a not fresh...
Tweet the treats: what office snacks are you eating?
2009-07-06 13:55:00 Aw, aren't your co-workers sweet? They're bringing in pies, and cookies, and brownies... but really, they're just trying to make you fat. Case in point: at the RedEye office, weekend editor Jim Walsh brings in bagels every Friday, but he calls it "Fattening Pastry Fridays." Does that sound like sabotage, or what? He says, and I quote: "They're technically not even pastries." Yes Jim, but they're fattening. Anyway, we got some of @redeyechicago's super twitter followers to share with us what fattening foods their friends brought in over the course of the week. Hit the jump to check out what Chicago's offices are eating. Then post how you've sabotaged your co-workers' diet plans in the comments....

Their immune systems cannot cope with the toxic load. Some people argue that when we eat the flesh and eggs of creatures who are treated so badly, w...
How to Overcome Emotional Eating
2009-04-28 23:28:00 Eating is a part of life. Your body gets its nutrients from food. Sometimes we can go overboard with our eating habits and it can result in gaining weight. One issue with food is emotional eating.The problem of emotional eating may end with the scale but it begins in the mind. Stress takes its toll on your life. When your defenses are compromised your health takes a hit and so do your emotions.Everyone has good days and bad days. How we deal with the bad ones brings emotional eating into play. You look for comfort for your hurts. People who turn to food for comfort find a coping mechanism that won?t judge them, hurt them or tell them ?no.? To complicate the issue, eating pleasurable foods can stimulate the release of endorphins just like exercise. So, after you eat, you feel better.Emotional eaters use food to relieve stress. They hide behind the food instead of seeking solutions to the problems. This is not uncommon when the stressor is something horrible such as physical abuse or ...

Sugar Surprise! How Much Sugar Are You Eating?
2008-12-09 08:07:00 Sugar Surprise! How Much Sugar Are You Eating? was written by Meri Raffetto from reallivingnutrition.comHealth professionals around the nation are urging people to decrease their intake of refined sugars to help combat rising health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. The USDA recommends for people to consume less than 10 percent of their calories from sugar. For someone eating a 2000 calorie diet this would equate to about 12 teaspoons of sugar a day. Seems simple doesn?t it? Unfortunately, it?s a little trickier than you might think. The harsh reality is that on average, Americans consume around 20 teaspoons a day.It can be quite confusing to figure out how much sugar you are consuming especially when some of it comes in natural forms such as fruit, and fruit juices. The easiest way to eliminate this problem is to back off the juice and don?t worry too much about the sugar you take in from whole fruit (unless you have diabetes or hyp...
