Insect Husbandry

clipper's remarks: Gotta love those worms!! Cheers, little buddies!!

This is not about beehives, silkworms or crickets for the family parakeet. Over the past 50 years, Dr. Davis and other experts have developed an entire technology to breed large numbers of insects for a variety of exotic jobs

armyworms to test corn plants, parasitic wasps to kill white flies that infest a greenhouse, billions of sterile medflies to mate with fecund females in the wild before they attack the stone fruit

Knowing how to rear insects is a must for anyone who deals with them, but most of those who need the skill never learn it in school.

“you got to know how to grow them.”

“butterflies love Gatorade.”

“But,”

“only the orange kind.”

The armyworms, which are used to test the resistance of corn plants to pests, drink beer

as their aphrodisiac of choice. It is chilled and poured into dishes on the bottom of their cages.

“When they drink beer, boy, do they mate and lay eggs,” Dr. Davis said. “And they don’t like light beer.”

Cancer-fighting agent found in beer

A key ingredient of beer may contain a cancer-fighting substance, a German study indicated.

Studies indicated xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a family of enzymes that can trigger the cancer process, as well as help the body detoxify carcinogens, science newswire Ivanhoe reported Monday. Preliminary studies at Oregon State University show that xanthohumol can kill breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancers.

"It's very healthy. I think the ingredients in the beer are very good," Werner Back of Brewing Technology at the Technical University of Munich.

Xanthohumol contains more powerful antioxidants than vitamin E and some studies indicate it helps reduce oxidation of bad cholesterol, the newswire reported.

"Xanthohumol has been shown to be a very active substance against cancer," said Markus Herrmann , also in Munich. "It comes in small sticky beads, which you find within the hops."

It would take 60 regular beers to equal

one super beer.

From Primitive Man To "Cultured Man"

clipper's remarks: Lack culture? Here's the cure.

Clip Source: www.alabev.com

From the Gilgamesh Epic, written in the 3rd millennium B.C., we learn that not only bread but also beer was very important. This epic is recognized as one of the first great works of world literature.

The Gilgamesh Epic describes the evolution from primitive man to "cultured man"

Enkidu, a shaggy, unkempt, almost bestial primitive man, who ate grass and could milk wild animals, wanted to test his strength against Gilgamesh, the demigod-like sovereign. Taking no chances, Gilgamesh sent a (prostitute) to Enkidu to learn of his strengths and weaknesses. Enkidu enjoyed a week with her, during which she taught him of civilization. Enkidu knew not what bread was nor how one ate it. He had also not learned to drink beer. The (prostitute) opened her mouth and spoke to Enkidu: 'Eat the bread now, O Enkidu, as it belongs to life. Drink also beer, as it is the custom of the land.' Enkidu drank seven cups of beer and his heart soared. In this condition he washed himself and became a human being

I Am My Own God

clipper's remarks: Wow. The beer bit is really profound!

Clip Source: www.quotationspage.com

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

Charles Bukowski
US (German-born) author & poet (1920 - 1994)

5 Drinking Stories That Put Yours To Shame

1. Admiral Edward Russell’s 17th-Century throwdown

Think you can drink like a sailor? Maybe you should take a moment to reflect on what that truly means.

The record for history’s largest cocktail belongs to British Lord Admiral Edward Russell. In 1694, he threw an officer’s party that employed a garden’s fountain as the punch bowl.

A series of bartenders actually paddled around in a small wooden canoe, filling up guests’ cups.

The party continued nonstop for a full week

until the fountain had been drunk completely dry.

2. The London Brew-nami of 1814

After the dinner, the vat was filled to its 4,000-barrel capacity.

Yup, the vat ruptured, causing other vats to break, and the resulting commotion was heard up to 5 miles away.

A wall of 1.3 million gallons of dark beer washed down the street, caving in two buildings and killing nine people by means of “drowning, injury, poisoning by the porter fumes, or drunkenness.”

thousands who flocked to the area to drink directly off the road.

Written by Men’s Health

No drugs. No bypasses. No scars. Just solid DIY advice on how to keep your heart pumping

Grill a steak. You may think it’s bad for your heart, but you’d be wrong. Beef contains immunity-boosting selenium as well as homocysteine-lowering B vitamins. And up to 50 percent of the fat is the heart-healthy monounsaturated variety

Tell your wife to butt out.

Take aspirin. Regular aspirin consumption cuts the risk of coronary heart disease by 28 percent in people who have never had a heart attack or stroke.

Drink more tea.

Touch her. Ten minutes of skin-to-skin contact (hand-holding, hugs) with your mate can help keep your blood pressure and pulse from spiking during stressful times

Go fishing for tuna.

Pair up. Married men are less likely to die of heart disease than bachelors.

Adopt a dog.

Rinse, brush.

Make friends at work. Men with the most work friends also have the lowest heart rates and healthiest blood-pressure levels

If you liked this post, buy me a beer

Beer And The Rise Of Civilization

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:58:28 GMT

clipper's remarks:

Their highest deity was the goddess of beer and fertility.

I knew it! I just knew it! He's a she!!

Some people totally underestimate the importance of beer in society. It is because of beer, we are even civilized human beings!! If it weren't for beer, omg, we would probably still be hanging from the trees! (Too much beer and we sometimes relive our evolutionary past.) People should have waaay more respect for beer.

Contrary to Hamurabi, who often preferred to drown people in beer rather than let them drink it, Nebuchadnezzar lacked that fellow's uptight and secular relationship to the fermented beverage. Instead, more like the Sumerians, he promoted its enjoyment by all. Under his reign, the priestesses could once again drink copious quantities of beer during sacrificial services - to please their gods and to honor their king.

I think I might have lived before. *LOL*

Praise be to Beer! Cheers folks and have a great weekend.

Anthropologists and archaeologists believe that the first humans ever to make the great leap from a nomadic and tribal into a civilized and sedentary existence were the Sumerians, some eight to ten thousand years ago.

The Sumerians are considered the world's first builders, farmers, and writers - and, as we know from archaeological finds, probably the first brewers, too. Beer was at the center of their religious rituals. Their highest deity was the goddess of beer and fertility. It is a measure of the importance of beer in Sumerian society that eventually about half their grain ended up in their brews.

The Sumerians' ingenuity and wealth soon became a magnet for other, non-brewing, people around them.

This is the official story of the demise of the Sumerians and the Babylonian take-over

The Babylonians continued the Sumerian tradition of making beer, yet they could not leave well alone.

The Babylonians were the first to institute beer regulation.

Drinking Beer Can Change the World

But beer drinkers may not know that with each drink they could be making the world a better place.

microbrewers—provide good examples of positive business practices.

And they are doing it without any road map, without any top-down legislative pressure or external customer demands.

While most of these brewers would say that they're simply focused on creating a great beer, many of them are also implementing sustainable business practices that have a ripple effect on their communities.

"Small breweries are being led by people who sincerely hold the values of the social and environmental movements, without using that language,"

"I hold the craft-brewing movement up as an example of a grassroots-led sustainability phenomenon," O'Brien explained. "It's saving the world because it's taking back all of the things we lost through corporate industrialization, corporate-led globalization."
