Serene Modern Buildings Designed To Mimic Ocean Waves
When looking to nature for design inspiration, these architects needed to look no further than the ocean, creating fluid buildings that evoke cresting and undulating waves. »

The addictive puzzle known as Rubik's Cube isn't just a 1980s icon. It has also become a major inspiration for architects. Here are buildings that look like large-scale versions of the famous twisty box — sometimes by design, and sometimes just by happy accident. »
When the world ends and most doomsday preppers will be hunched in cramped dwellings, fighting off hungry mutant freeloaders, a select few will be enjoying the high-end amenities of a luxury survival condo, buried 174 feet underground in a decommissioned missile silo. »
Jess and Dan wanted to simplify their lives. So they built one of the tiniest houses we've ever seen. It's 128 square feet on top of a truck flatbed. Here's how they fit all of life's essentials into such a small space. »
Award-winning architect Ben Pell has designed luxury homes and schools, but as a father, he has also acquired crucial insights into building one of the world's most mysterious structures: the pillow fort. »
Sometimes the only thing more awe-inspiring than a city is a massive model of the city, rendered down to the finest detail. Here are some of the most obsessively-rendered models of cities that you'll ever see. And of course, they're to scale. Which is itself amazing. »
Asmara, the capital city of Eritrea, was an Italian colony between 1890 and 1941. The city was populated by a large Italian community (53,000 of 98,000 inhabitants in 1939), so the architecture is a unique blend of Italian modernism and Eritrean style. Here are the most amazing examples. »
Instant architecture is fascinating because it allows us to imagine cities built ultra-fast in the wake of some apocalypse. And now, a group of inventors in Italy have created a robot that can build houses in hours, by extruding mud into the perfect design. »

Fifty years ago, Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, was hit by a huge earthquake that flattened the city.

Electricity pylons, or transmission towers, usually aren't the most interesting structures, just basic towers that keep electrical wires aloft. But some architects have designed innovative towers that are more than mere eyesores. »

YC the Cynic - Hunts Point Diaspora
Artist: YC the Cynic
Producer: Frank Drake
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
YC The Cynic's always peppered his records with social commentary, but never have we heard him drop knowledge in as concentrated a form as he does on his latest feature, Hunts Point Diaspora. This unreleased record takes its name from the notoriously impoverished South Bronx neighborhood where the artist came up, which lost more than two-thirds of its population due to harsh living conditions during the 1970s. Of course, it was the poorest, mainly black and Hispanic residents who had no choice but to stay and suffer. Backed by Frank Drake's brass/vocal samples, YC spins that tragedy into a story of triumph, celebrating those (including himself) who have made it out despite the forces that hold them back, and encouraging others to follow their example. Though this lyrically-insightful joint didn't make the cut, those feeling it can find more food for thought on the GNK album, available online as of late August.

text: Williams announce new sponsorship with Wihuri 8 May, 2012 The Williams F1 Team is pleased to announce a new sponsorship agreement with Wihuri, one of Finland's most respected business enterprises. The Wihuri logos will feature on the belt and helmet of the team's Official Reserve Driver Valtteri Bottas, and the rear wing endplate of each Williams Renault FW34. Wihuri have supported Valtteri since 2006, and this agreement further extends their commitment to helping talented young Finnish drivers reach the pinnacle of motorsport. Headquartered in Finland, Wihuri is a global industry and trade conglomerate engaged in film packaging products, daily goods wholesale operations, technical trade investment products and aviation. Over the past century Wihuri has grown from a small family business into a diversified global enterprise which operates in 20 countries. It is still owned by the family that formed the company 110 years ago. Juha Hellgrén, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wihuri, commented, "Wihuri's heritage in motorsport sponsorship started in the 1970s and this new agreement with one of the sport's most iconic and legendary teams is very exciting. I am confident that co-operation with the Williams F1 Team will be a success story for both sides." Sir Frank Williams, Team Principal of the Williams F1 Team, added, "We are delighted to welcome Wihuri to our portfolio of partners. They have provided considerable support to Valtteri in his career thus far and to partner with a company that shares a family structure and strong heritage is greatly satisfying. We are all looking forward to working with them in the future."

Adjustment of the clothes- Yep, they are "tells", no doubt. OTOH, without personal care then you're subject to having your coat, shirt or whatever ride up over your CCW, or worse yet let it fall out. That stuff happens. Nothing wrong with doing some adjustment checking, but your CCW should be discreet and maybe the checking should be discreet too. It's easy for those adjustments to become habits that are easily noticeable, and something to ask yourself about.
Bumper stickers- I sort of cringed when I read that. However it is to nice to send out pro-gun messages, we can use plenty of that; however it does send out the suggestion to break in my car and get my guns. I happen to have a 5 series BMW and I wouldn't put any bumper stickers on it, but that's just me.
Looking out the window- I've been an employee and an employer, and I don't have any trouble with me or someone else looking out the window. The problem comes with how much accumulative time they are looking out the window.
Turn the election's in 2014 to a "2A Revolution". It will serve as a 1994 refresher not to "infringe" on our Second Amendment. We know who they are now.........SEND 'EM HOME. Our success in this will be proportional to how hard we work to make it happen.
When I do have to leave my firearm in the vehicle I have places that a criminal will not be able to find in a quick break in and snatch. So I don't worry about it.

The OPs post reminds me of all the cars I see cruising around with car audio equipment stickers plastered all over them. I always thought it was a stupid advertisement for people to rob the cars of their precious goods.
I give the OP credit for being "in-tune" with his environment. This is one skill IMO, that everyone choosing to carry should master. Many conflicts can be detected and deterred by being aware of one's surroundings. I probably would not choose to "haze" him by asking for his jacket (unless we were friends), but I may choose to enlighten him on how obvious his actions may be. If I didn't know the guy, I wouldn't want someone who advertises to be aware of MY choice, by implication.
You're either doing it:
a) as a public service to a fellow concealed carrier,
b) to demonstrate to yourself your smug superiority because you read some totally obvious signs anyone of us would recognize.
You choose.
BTW, if you say you choose "a", it's really "b" you're feeling.
Where I have lived for many years (Missouri & now Colorado) OC is legal, so I don't give a frap who sees me "adjust".
Sometimes we are unaware of how are actions are viewed by others. I am privileged to have a wife and close friends who aren't afraid to give me their thoughts on my actions, and most times I appreciate their concern. I have grown a lot in life from people who were willing to share with me their experience and I personally have never been threatened by that.
So by me choosing A), it does not at all mean that I feel more like B). I do not feel the need to measure myself with all my actions.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

I have to pull my pants up some and adjust my shirt every time I get out of a car... it has nothing to do with my gun being there. So, figure what you might..... I wouldn't really care .... If the gun doesn't show, it doesn't show.... end of discussion.
When we first got CC , there was a group of people organizing to "OUT PEOPLE" whenever they could, wherever they could, and to do it boldly and loudly..... to try I guess to (1) try to shame the people for carrying a gun, (2) get the businesses to POST. It mostly backfired on them.
I was "pointed out" numerous times for my "cell phone" it was amazing..... people are not nearly as good about telling if you are or you aren't as they think they are. Bulges, etc. can be all types of things.
One IDIOT CC'er (found this out later when saw the idiot at the range) came up to me in a store, after standing there looking weird and staring at me for about 10 minutes while in the sporting section..... when he came toward me..... I really thought the guy was gay and going to hit up on me or something. He came up and whispered.... "you are carrying a gun aren't you " .... as if he had "discoverd my secret and was letting me know he knew it" . Thing was ... I was NOT carrying.... and asked him what kind of idiot are you .... " NO, I"m not carrying and if I was it wouldn't be any of your business". He didn't quit ... " I know you are, your pants are sagging a touch on one side" ....
I could not get rid of this guy, so I FINALLY.... pulled out the TON of keys in my pocket , tossing them on a counter, and telling him..... I don't what it is you think you know, but personally I think you are a complete idiot for approaching someone and if they were carrying and saying anything about it to them. Secondly, I really want you to get the **** away from me and leave me alone. Told him to he was one of the weirdest people I think I"ve run into. Man, he was strange.
I think it's strange as hell, that people are standing around trying to figure out if someone is carrying or not, or think they know..... and may be completely full of it. Who cares .....
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
Fortune favors the bold.
Freedom doesn't mean safe, it means free.
The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)
"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come." ~ Confucius
I thought I was going to have an issue with "picking out" people who I thought were carrying concealed when I first applied for my license. Turns out that it's not true, I don't give a hoot about what people carry!
I figured it would go on the same idea as when you buy a new vehicle, you notice every other one on the road now that you have one!
A couple things... when I was new to carrying I was probably a bit more "obvious" than I am now. I still need to adjust from time to time but I am much more discreet than I used to be. In the summer I spend a lot of time on my motorcycle. I will sometimes ride in a group on charity rides and things like that with people I don't know. I became very aware of the considerable number of people carrying concealed on rides. On hot days when some of the leather and other jackets come off I occasionally see obvious printing as the wind blows shirts around. For those of you who ride you might want to be aware of that. I am now.

I am a young seasoned traveler and have never experienced such poor service from a company. I have been to foreign countries and stayed in places with minimal ammenities, and still have never experienced the level of unprofessionalism I did with this company. Please read this rip off report and save your money!
I found a one bedroom condo on VRBO at a great price of $255.00 a night and an option to hold the reservation with a half payment deposit. I spoke with Gabby Marques who represents Cory Fritzler and handles all the negotiations for dates of travel and collection of funds. She locked in the deposit via credit card and scheduled our stay on one of the busiest weekends in SOBE.
On March 4th, 2014 just 3 weeks away from our trip I received an email stating the reservation had to be canceled due to the owner losing his apartment. The email proceeded to inform me that another condo was available but the check in date would be a day later and the length of stay would be the same. At this point we were unable to make arrangements with the airline to change the dates around. We kept the reservation and booked a one night stay at a hotel on the beach. Gabby would not discount the last day of the resrvation becuase according to her this property was more money a night and the minimum stay was 4 days. We kept the reservation anyway and let her know we would be checking out a day early. We had no choice as there was no availability for hotels in the area with only three weeks out within the same price range.
When it was time to check in, we arrived at the Mercury Hotel on 100 Collins Ave. Unit #203. Gabby instructed us to go inside as the cleaning crew had just finished. We walked in the condo to find the maid still cleaning the unit with linens completely off the bed. I asked the maid when she would be done and she stated she needed 45 minutes. We left and returned 45-50 mins later. At this point there were still no linens on the bed and no towels. We waited until 4:25 to have the bed made. The unit had one half used roll of toilet paper, no ammenities usually provided in hotels. No soap, no shower cap, no shampoo, no conditioner and a total of three towels, no paper towels or napkins, nothing! We were lucky to find a market down the street and bought our own essentials. Gabby did not check in with us, and until this day I have no idea who she is. She left one key for four people to share. The place was more of a hostel with a private bathroom than a luxury condo as advertised on VRBO and AIRBNB.
We left a few items behind at check out, including a pair of expensive Brian Atwood heels, and when we inquired with Gabby to follow up, she never did. This place and company is a complete rip off, do not waste your time or money to save a few bucks. The no toilet paper issue is absurd and an insult to injury. I give them a 1/2 a star for their service and will never rent a condo in SOBE again.

Comedy Night - Jeff Gerbino
Website: Jeffgerbino.wordpress.com
Jeff Gerbino began his comedy career as one of the first of a new generation of Baby Boomers in the late 70s who wondered how did those comics on talk shows like Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas, Dick Cavett and Johnny Carson ever get those cool jobs telling jokes? Tired of watching the guys in tuxedos tell mother-in-law jokes, Jeff left his childhood home on the North Shore of Long Island to follow two loves: comedy and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman from Minnesota. In short order he would be married to both for a long, long time.
Jeff left an early job in radio (his first love) and started a comedy scene in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul where none had existed previously. Soon Jeff recruited other comics to join him and many of them made names for themselves over the years. Louie Anderson, (Life with Louie/Family Feud/Splash), Jeff Cesario, (HBO/Showtime), Joel Hodgeson, (Mystery Science Theater) and Stephanie Hodge (Nurses) all would work the tiny stage at a bar inside a Union Building in Northeast Minneapolis. Jeff Gerbinos stock was rising from an auto parts delivery guy to local comedy celebrity all while still in his early 20s.
In the 1980s, Jeff and his wife would move to Los Angeles, where he worked his way up the comedy ladder at places like the infamous Improv and the (then) nationally renowned Comedy Store. The names of the comedians who regularly worked the Comedy Store are all printed on the outside motif of the Comedy Store. Jeffs name is printed there near that of Jonathan Winters and Richard Pryor, who, ironically, were early comedy influences on Jeff. While becoming a nationally known comedy club headliner, he worked with many famous comics as both writer and performerJimmy Walker, Michael Keaton, Kevin Nealon, Roseanne Barr, Tom Arnold, Paula Poundstone, Robin Williams and many others. Jeffs look became familiar to many people as he appeared in television commercials for Home Depot, Hardees, National Rent-A-Car and 2000 Flushes. His comedy appearances include The CBS Morning Show, A&Es Comedy On The Road, Showtimes Laughathon, HBO Comic Relief, Comedy Central and ABCs Good Morning America.
More than three decades later, Jeffs act is a true fusion of the years spent performing all over America and even in countries like Great Britain, Japan and Australia. His high energy approach to everything from news events of the day to life as a parent of two children to uncanny impressions of various celebrities and politicians make his act accessible to both nightclub and corporate audiences all across America. Michael Keaton praised Jeff as The poor mans Jay Leno. The Hollywood Reporter named him as one of Americas Top Ten new comics in their annual Comedy Issue. Variety magazine described Jeffs act as a high-energy high wire act that takes the audience right along with him. Jeff was also featured in Time Magazine as part of their coverage of the emerging new phenomenon of standup that was now spreading all across America.
Jeff departed Los Angeles with his now growing family of two children and a wife to return to Minneapolis where he began working in morning drive radio while splitting his time between comedy club work and private shows for corporations such as 3M, EcoLab, Carlson Companies, Control Data, Excel Energy, Target, Macys, Carnation, AT&T, Sprint and many others, often doing more than just his act but personalizing shows with special material written for the occasion. He became so good at this that many companies began referring to him as The Humor Consultant. To this day one of his more popular sketches at private shows is his Corporate Imposter where he appears as an expert consultant discussing the host companys issuesfirst in a serious tone, but then getting wilder and wildertill the audience explodes at the realization that they have been had.

John Denver Tribute Dinner Show
Website: Jimcurrymusic.com
Jim Curry presents his acclaimed tribute to John Denver in a special dinner show at St. Croix Casino Danbury on Thursday, January 29. Dinner is served at 6 p.m. followed by the show at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available online at tempotickets.com/stcroixcasinos or in person at the St. Croix Perks booth at the casino.
Jim Curry began his music career writing and performing the opening song, The Time of Your Life for his senior play. The song was then voted to be the 1975 class song and Jim was awarded a Rotary Scholarship to study music in college. Even at this early stage in his life Jims natural voice resembled that of singer/songwriter John Denver. Embracing the similarities, Jim continued to sing and specialize in the songs of John Denver, sharing Johns positive messages of love, humanity and environmental awareness.
The untimely death of John Denvers in 1997 was a tragedy that was felt the world over. Such a void in the musical world left Johns ardent fans demanding that his music survive. CBS television responded by producing a made for TV movie: Take Me Home, the John Denver Story in which Jim landed an off-camera role singing as the voice of John Denver. This experience inspired Jim to produce fulllength John Denver tribute concerts.
Hes not your usual Vegas style impersonator. In fact, he is not an impersonator at all. Jim sings, in his own natural voice, a tribute to the music in a way that has to be seen and heard to understand the pure honesty of his amazing performance. His looks and his voice are simply a pleasant coincidence that captures the true essence of John Denvers music. Currys heartfelt delivery rolls out into the crowd as multi-platinum hits like Rocky Mountain High, Annies Song and Calypso fill the room.
Jim has created the ultimate tribute experience and has emerged as the top performer of John Denvers music today. He often performs with John Denvers former band members. Currys tribute is the first and only full-length John Denver tribute in a Las Vegas Casino and is a sell-out favorite at the Silverton time after time. Curry has taken his show on the road to Performing Arts Centers and Casinos in the US and Canada and out to sea as one of the most popular shows on the Holland America Cruise Line.
Jims latest efforts are to take his tribute show to a new level by adding symphony orchestrations back into live performances of John Denver music. When John Denver wanted to add a full orchestra to his live shows and recordings, he teamed up with Grammy Award winning arranger, composer and conductor Lee Holdridge. Lees symphony arrangements, along with Johns songs became the trademark sound of many of Johns hits. Jim Curry and Lee Holdridge have now brought the rebirth of the timeless songs of Americas troubadour back in a full-length live concert of John Denvers greatest works.
Whether Jim is performing with a symphony orchestra, with his talented band, or all by himself, his compelling voice, combined with dramatic images of nature is an unforgettable show that will truly fill up your senses.

Hi there,
Im looking for any advice as to how I can clean my old oak cider barrel, formerly used as a whisky barrel. Im currently using mine as a cold food smoker but the cider is tainting the flavour of the food. If all else fails ill be back on here asking for cider making recipies.
Odds are slim that you would be able to rid the barrel of the odors. Those smells are deeply soaked into the wood by this point. You could try filling the barrel with water and soaking the smell out. Drain then repeat.
I see they sell new 5 gallon oak barrels. anybody use them..... apparently the come semi burnt on the inside . I bet if you could re -torch it on the inside (pour some hot charcoal in the and swish them around), that would help . Or how would you get a small torch in there ? Maybe ferment somthing in there then dump it those yeasties would deoderize it . Just thinking

Oklahoma could see 7% production tax on aggregates
A proposed bill in the Oklahoma legislature would allow counties to tax aggregates producers up to 7 percent for the production of silica, sand, gravel and more, NewsOK reports.
The bill, HB 1876, would allow each county to tax aggregates production at a different rate up to 7 percent.
Rep. Charles McCall (R-Okla.) created the bill, which he says "is designed to mirror the Oklahoma gross production tax."
"In a lot of areas of the state, we have nonrenewable resources leaving the state with very little financial benefit to the areas where those natural resources are severed," McCall says.
Opponents of the bill worry it would be difficult to keep track of the taxes.
"It would also create an imbalance within our industry, having materials counted one way in one county and another way in a neighboring country," says Jim Rodriguez, executive director for the Oklahoma Aggregates Association.
Rodriguez is also concerned that the bill would drive up production costs. Compared to Arkansas' 4-cents-per-ton severance tax, the proposed Oklahoma tax would translate up to 42 cents per ton, he told NewsOK.
"This is a high-volume, low-cost product," Rodriguez says. "What happens when you significantly increase the cost of a low-cost item that is produced in high quantities?"
Oklahoma County Commissioner Ray Vaughn says the tax would go toward funding roads with heavy truck traffic.
"The initial issue was that in those counties, especially where those big mines are located, they don't have the funds to keep up with maintenance of the roads and bridges," he says. "They were looking for a funding source to take care of the roads and restore them."
According to the NewsOK report, McCall has asked industry leaders to talk to him about concerns with the bill.

The Avengers were created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Although there were changes from the very begining, the first team is usually considered the one from Avengers 1 to Avengers 16. Several classic villains were introduced by this time.It began with Loki, Thor's brother and archenemy, who was imprisoned on the Isle of Silence for his crimes. Searching for a pawn to get rid of Thor for him, he found the Hulk. Creating an illusion of dynamite on a train track, Loki tricked the Hulk into destroying the track, prompting a manhunt for him. Figuring that the Hulk needed help, Rick Jones and the Teen Brigade sent a distress call to the Fantastic Four, but it was redirected by Loki to the radio of Dr. Donald Blake, Thor's alter ego. The call was also inadvertently heard by Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp. They all defeated Loki, and organized as a team. The Hulk left the following issue after realizing how much the others distrusted him, but the Avengers soon found a new member: Captain America, who was frozen in the artic since WWII. Captain America's enemy, Baron Zemo, would create the Masters of Evil as the recurring rogue's gallery of the Avengers.

With over nine years experience in the direct marketing and fundraising sector, working in successful agencies in Australia and the UK, Jonathon has recently relocated to Toronto to head up Pareto Fundraising's North American office.
Having shaped and developed many large and highly successful fundraising programs in Australia and the UK, Jonathon's passion is looking at how charities care for and service their donors. In the past six years, Jonathon has undertaken benchmarking studies that look at how well (or poorly) charities are servicing and caring for their supporters.

A digital relationship can be difficult to maintain. Jonathan Grapsas offers his advice on how to ensure you bag your online donors for the long-haul.
Jonathon Grapsas is preparing for next week's Institute of Fundraising National Convention, where fundraisers might be challenged about incentive-led direct marketing and - his old favourite - data.
The response of charities to expressions of support and donations to Haiti appeals was far from equal. Jonathon Grapsas begins a mystery shopping exercise.
Ever wondered how your friends across the pond, those lovely Canucks, fared as a result of the global financial crisis? Jonathan Grapsas shares some insights.
I'm sure you remember the excitement of that new relationship. You can't get enough of each other, in constant contact, living in each other's pockets, wondering what the next encounter will bring, waiting by the phone in anticipation of that call..? Right?
Last week, in the wake of the Haiti tragedy, I talked about how I felt that non-emergency charities should continue doing what they were already doing.
I'm not just talking about Google's search function, of which they dominate the market with a 60 per cent share. But if your charity isn't already receiving Google Grants, get to it.

SOCHI, Russia — Jorien ter Mors led another Dutch sweep in Olympic speedskating, beating favorite Ireen Wust in the women's 1,500 meters Sunday and setting up a shot at becoming the first skater to win medals in both long and short track.
Skating in an early pairing, Ter Mors turned in a stunning time of 1:53.51, an Olympic record and the second-fastest time ever at sea level. The only skater to go faster was Wust at the Dutch Olympic trials in December.

About Payout Ratio
The payout ratio is the percentage of net income that a company pays out as dividends to common shareholders.
A payout ratio of 10% means for every dollar in Net Income, 10% is being paid out as a dividend. For instance, if Microsoft earns $50 million in net income and the payout ratio is 25%, Microsoft will offer $12.5 million to all its common shareholders.
Companies with low payout ratios:
- High growth companies often have low payout ratios; they use the money to invest in other projects.
- Companies that do not have positive cash flow or positive earnings.
Companies with high payout ratios:
- Value-orientated companies
- Where the board and management may own stock and pay dividends to themselves (cynical view)
- Where management is favorable to shareholders
- Companies that have a consistent dividend stock policy
- Companies that do not have any investment projects that are worth pursuing.

May, who earned second-team honors a year ago, holds the second-best attack percentage in the country (.412, NCAA stats Nov. 17) and threw down 15 in Thursday's opening round victory over Western Washington. She averages 2.92 kills/set and averages 0.98 blocks/set for the 21-6 Coyotes.
Torline leads the Coyotes in kills (444), kills/set (4.23), attacks (1,251) service aces (31) and points (506.5). She also was a first-team All-CCAA selection earlier this week. She led the Coyotes with 18 kills in the victory over Western Washington.
McIntosh, who earned third-team All-American honors from Daktronics a year ago, earned her third straight region honor. She ranks third in the country in blocks/set (1.37) and has a CCAA-leading 136 total blocks going into Friday's NCAA West Region semifinal. Against WWU, she had 11 kills with two solo and three block assists.
May and Torline now advance to the national All-American ballot.
Chino Hills native Jordyn Siko honored by PacWest
Chino Hills High School graduate Jordyn Siko of Cal Baptist University has earned All-PacWest honors for the first time.
Siko, who was named to the second team, helped the Lancers hit at a .243 percentage on the season, which ranked them No. 1 in the PacWest and 23rd in the division.
The junior battled through injury issues throughout the year, playing in 21 of 28 matches, with CBU hitting over .300 in matches where she setted.
She had 751 assists (10.73 a set), 170 digs, 48 kills, 41 blocks and 17 aces and produced nine double-doubles on the year.

How Does Obesity Cause Cancer?
A German physician was awarded a Nobel prize in 1931 for determining that sugar feeds cancer. Now contemporary researchers have determined some of the molecular mechanisms for this.
Harvard University researchers have discovered a new pathway that shows how obesity causes stress in a system of cellular membranes called endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which in turn causes the endoplasmic reticulum to suppress the signals of insulin receptors, which then leads to insulin resistance.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes found inside cells. When one eats sugars and grains regularly this membrane wsays, Enough, already; you're bombing us with nutrients. When there's too much going on, the cell knows that insulin is out there, but doesn't want insulin receptors signaling for more insulin because there's already enough on board. This has a downside, because insulin soon loses its ability to help clear sugar from the body. Besides suppressing normal responses to insulin, ER stress also triggers inflammation in cells.
The major key is insulin production though. So by limiting grains, avoiding sugar and optimizing your cardiovascular exercise to increase insulin receptor sensitivity one can keep insulin levels low and correspondingly also minimize your risk for all cancers.
