I was just reading about some leading edge concussion research in the paper this morning. This team had been studying woodpeckers to try and find out why they don't get concussions. What they found is the woodpecker restricts the main vein in the head when jabbing to increase the blood pressure in the head. This adds a little more blood to the head and it is this blood that cushions the brain from the inside. Maybe you need to put on that turtle neck and increase the amount blood in your head for protection Face. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18830 | Any theories why this dog attacked and killed its owner who raised it from puppyhood? http://www.ajc.com/news/news/national/florida-woman-mauled-killed-own-dog/nqxk3/?icmp=cmgcontent_internallink_relatedcontent_2014_morepopularheadlines2 I totally get owners occasionally getting bit by their own dog for one reason or other, but this would be a continued aggressive attack. The dog either went crazy, or it was actually able to make up its mind to off its owner --perhaps for the owner's cruelty. Still that seems like a complex decision to process. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I avoid all pit bulls, I don't trust them. I feel like could turn on you in a second. I bet an autopsy would show the dog was sick. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Pit bulls supposedly have the strongest tendency to view something as prey, whatever you call that trait. 100 lb. dog ; could have weighed the same as the woman or close to it. Combine that with the likelihood that the owner was an idiot when it comes to disciplining a dog. There is an expression, "there are no bad dogs, just bad owners". I'll even stick my neck out and say women are the most likely to have the wrong approach with a dog - that's bigoted, but I have to say it has been my observation over the years.

| terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11826 | Paypal just announced that they are getting out of North Carolina due to the anti-LGBT bill NC just kissed goodbye 400 jobs The Republican party used to be the pro business party Now they are the anti-business party Amazing Times have changed, years ago the California gay marriage prop only got support from 5 companies The anti-LGBT law in NC is a problem due to hundreds of companies want the law repealed Will the Republican party change and support what is best for business. Or will they continue to be anti-business and pass anti-LGBT laws and deal with lost jobs in their state? Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

They could pass an amendment forbidding private companies from offering benefits or any workplace protections to LGBT people. That ought to make them want to stick around. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Not the fault of the gop that several intolerant, bigoted companies are against personal freedom. Time to stand up against the hate of the gay movement. The President is a fink. |

Several????? LOL Hundreds of companies have come out against the bill in NC How many companies have come out and publicly supported the law? Hmm, I hear a large empty echo Its a law that's anti business Is it your view that NC is better off without the jobs? You would think that Republicans want more jobs, not less Paypal jobs were not akin to burger flipper wages, these were good jobs Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It is not anti-business at all, it it pro-freedom. It is pro-business in that it states you do not have to do business with someone at the end of a gun. If gays acted like mature adults it would not be needed. Are you saying gays are anti-business? The President is a fink. |
