If there's one thing we've learned from our elders it's that death is a big shit sandwich, and we've all gotta scarf it down one day. Assuming you're not a robot who can simply transfer your consciousness into a new body when the Reaper comes a knocking, you've probably spent a little time pondering what is going to take you out in the end. Chances are you're worrying about the wrong sandwich. Statistics show that the bogeymen behind some of the most widespread fears and phobias are downright toothless. At least when compared to the seemingly innocent stuff you didn't know could take you out at any moment. For instance . Jaws, Deep Blue Sea and countless Syfy originals all tell us that sharks are killing dudes left and right. They're practically the Grim Reapers of the ocean. Sure, we know that sharks don't really attack a whole lot of people, but we see one shadow swimming back and forth beneath the waves at the beach and we don't give even the smallest shit about what's realistic our asses are headed back to shore. The media love to get in on the shark action, too. Like in 2001, when a young boy was attacked by a bull shark at Langdon Beach in Florida, then another attack occurred in the Bahamas. Before you knew it, we were dealing with a full on shark invasion, the coverage of which was later dubbed "The Summer of the Shark." Everyone was so freaked out by the attacks that legislators were actually pushed to pass legislation to deal with sharks, which they totally did. It actually turned out later that shark attacks were down when compared with previous years. The fact is, on average, only one, single, solitary person in the United States dies from a shark attack each year, a 1 in 3,748,067 chance in your lifetime. For every year that several people are killed by sharks, there are plenty of other years in which no one is. Cows. Cows killed 108 people between 2003 and 2008, an average of about 22 deaths a year, or a 1 in 173,871 chance. Like we said above, sharks just don't really attack that many people. Most of the time, they don't even attack people on purpose. They just think you kinda look like their food. Cows, on the other hand, are pretty big and hella strong. They're easily able to crush a fully grown adult, and people are around them far more than they're around sharks. A charging bull or stampede can still take you by surprise and kill you dead before you can yell "Land Shark!" In other words, you're more likely to die by cow hoof than by shark bite . and that's not even touching mad cow disease or E. coli. 5. What's More Dangerous Than Terrorists? Fireworks. If you've watched television for more than 35 seconds in the last nine years, you might be aware that there are these people called terrorists, and they're going to destroy everything you love about America and capitalism. They could strike anywhere, and at any time. While it's true that some of this fear has abated a bit in the years since 2001, one doesn't need to look far to find people who are horrified of getting caught in the middle of a terrorist attack. After all, terrorist plots are still ongoing, as evidenced by the Times Square car bomb attempt in May 2010 or Barack Obama's recent announcement about a foiled plot involving UPS and FedEx planes. The fear has so permeated our consciousness that NPR contributor Juan Williams thought he was just echoing everyone else's sentiments when he expressed fear over seeing . But Williams wasn't wrong to think others might share his headscarf vigilance. America has terrorism on the brain. And what do terrorists do? They kill people, that's what. Surely, by this point we all know at least one person who was killed by a terrorist, right? Heart disease is not a terrorist. Actually, chances are, you don't. In the years since 9/11, the statistical chance of being killed in a terror attack in the Western world has fallen to basically zero. You're more likely to meet your death taking the stairs than riding an elevator. A little less than 2,000 people a year are killed by falling down stairs, giving you a lifetime chance of 1 in 1,818 and making stairs officially the deadliest thing in this article. Don't run. That just provokes them. It's a pretty simple equation, and probably the only thing Die Hard got right about building safety. Elevators are built to very high standards. There's not just one cable holding you up, there are six to eight, and each one is capable of holding up the entire listed capacity of the car, plus another 25 percent. One of those cables is also connected to a governor that determines when the car is falling too fast. If that happens, it kicks on a set of copper shoes on the sides of the elevator car that act like emergency brakes, bringing it to a halt within a few feet. There's even a big hydraulic spring at the bottom of the elevator shaft that will cushion the blow, just in case all that other shit fails. Stairs, on the other hand, are fucking stairs. You're lucky to have a handrail, and if there's something spilled on them, you're not paying attention, you're trying to run down them too fast or you're moronically trying to slide down the banister, you're gonna fall all the way to the bottom, and it'll probably hurt pretty bad. And God help you if Bruce Willis rides you down a set of stair like you're a sled. He's going to murder you, make fun of the size of your feet and draw all over you with a marker.

It's difficult to say if the left purposely misused the comment of Ben Franklin probably not they are not that smart. They truly believed that President Bush sacrificed freedom for security. In doing so, liberals showed a remarkable lack of understanding about what freedom means. Not understanding freedom, liberals are helpless in comprehending the constitution. There was another quote of Ben Franklin's. When Franklin got out of the constitutional convention, he was asked "what kind of government have you created a Republic or a Monarchy?" His response was "A Republic, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT". The words "IF YOU CAN KEEP IT" mean that there is vigilance and work involved in maintaining the republic and the individual freedoms that the constitution looked at as something that was a natural right, not as something that had to be "given" to anyone. Freedom is a concept, not a word. Every time I'm stopped at a traffic light, my right of movement is obstructed. Is this a restriction on my freedom? Take away traffic lights and we'd have chaos on the roads. Road anarchy would rule the day. Driving on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, it's obvious that road anarchy already rules the day. Without traffic lights, freedom of movement would be more restricted, not less, because the lack of organization means that no one would get anywhere. Is freedom being sacrificed for security by installing traffic lights? Of course not laws in a society are for everyone's benefit. There are situations where one person's freedom conflicts with another person's freedom and we need common sense laws so that everyone's freedoms are protected. A society with common sense laws is the difference between a Republic and anarchy. If you get on a plane, you have to take your shoes and belt off. This isn't a government gone crazed with power; it is a common sense response to a real threat. President Bush took actions that were necessary based on a situation that he did not create. Whose freedoms were lost by phone taps anyway? So if it is OK to make common sense laws that result in the benefit of everyone, when does the government go too far? The answer is the real definition of freedom. Freedom is the ability to make your own choices for your own benefit. You give up freedom when you cede the right of your own well being and put the decisions that affect your life in the hands of another person or entity. If you are a member of a union and the union goes on strike, you may listen to the arguments pro and con and decide that you want to go on strike with the union. What if, after listening to the arguments pro and con, you decide not to go on strike. You have no right to disagree because a vote was taken and the union voted against you. They are going on strike whether you agree or not. When the constitution was formed there was a distinction made that many people are unaware of. The United States has often been referred to as a democracy. In fact, it is a constitutional republic. The framers of the constitution wanted to avoid the mob mentality that often arises by pitting groups against each other. This pitting of groups against each other has always been the specialty of the left and dictatorships in general. When Ben Franklin was asked what kind of government they created, a democracy was not even mentioned. So in the union example, you may be a person who is willing to work at a salary that someone else is willing to pay you, in conditions that you both agree are beneficial, and yet neither of you have the freedom to go forward with it because a majority of union members wanted to go on strike. Both you and your employer have ceded your freedoms to another group. This is the "mob" mentality that the framers wanted to avoid. Anyone who has seen the way unions sometimes behave can't say the mob analogy is very far off. Unions may have done some great things but if a person wants to work at a salary that someone else is willing to pay, no one should have the right to stand in the way. Gun control is another area where people are being asked to trust someone else with their freedom. Sometimes, political decisions are made as to who will be protected and who won't be. People should never be asked to give up their right of personal protection to politicians who too often make decisions based on the political consequences, avoiding risky decisions that may cause controversy, often causing even more controversy by their inaction and cowardice. Here are three examples of government making decisions for "expedience". All three of these examples involve race in one way or another but race is not the issue. The issue is about giving up the right and responsibility of personal protection. The first case is documented in Richard Poe's book "The Seven Myths of Gun Control". During the civil war, Black Americans served in the Union army. People coming home often kept the weapons they used in battle. However, in the case of black Americans, there was an organized effort to take away those guns. The Ku Klux Klan and other militia men ransacked their homes. The government did little to stop this. The end result is that because of a government decision, black Americans, after serving in the army, were left defenseless. There are incidents of those who refused to give up their guns and those are the ones who were able to defend themselves certainly, at no help from anyone other than themselves. The second and third examples are more recent. During both the Rodney King riots in LA and the riots in Crown Heights in Brooklyn, local and state politicians decided to withhold protection for citizens who were under attack. People were rioting in the streets while police were, allegedly in Crown Heights, told to do nothing. Liberal's talk of gun control, as most things liberals talk about, is based on a false assumption. They are trying to create a "secure" environment by taking away the very tools that create a secure environment. In personal defense, no individual should be at the mercy of a decision made by a politician. People must have the right, if they deem it necessary, to have the last line of defense in the protection of themselves and their families. Now there is Obamacare. We may be about to make the most stupid move in the history of this Republic. Hypocrites on the left don't bring up Security Freedom tradeoffs when it comes to unions or gun control. That thing that says you have to pay some of your money so the government can put it away for your old age. When there is no money left in social "Security" you can take solace in an old age where you won't be able to hire the doctor you want because the government may not consider your life "important" enough. Those defending Obamacare say "You already don't have complete freedom to choose a doctor". This is true enough but you don't solve a problem of this magnitude by creating a much bigger problem. This would be like having a $500 dollar debt and trying to solve it by spending $10,000 more, or a few trillion but who's counting. During the Bush years, the United States did not sacrifice freedom for security. The one job of the government is to provide for the common defense which the Bush administration did admirably. No individual liberties were lost under the Presidency of GW Bush. Where is the left, so concerned about individual rights during those years, as Obama tries to take every personal choice out of the hands of the people and put it into the hands of beaurocrats who don't care about the people they serve (Yes, they serve US!). Amazingly, they do this in the name of "morality". All dictators do. Nike Roshe Run Women Black White,SELECTING CLEATED SHOES; IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN FINDING THE RIGHTATLANTA, July 14 /PRNewswire/ Cooler weather and the sounds of marching bands filling the air are the first signs that the back to school season approaches.Kids across the country will be signing up to play football, soccer and field hockey for their school or local team.But as parents and schools spend hundreds of dollars for protective equipment, from shoulderpads to shinguards, they often seem to forget one of the most important pieces of equipment properly fitted athletic footwear.Most kids tend to buy the cheapest, most popular or best looking cleated shoes, regardless of how they actually fit or the type of field on which they will be used. This ignorance could lead to short term injuries, such as sprains or blisters, or create long term effects such as aggravating bunions or creating hammertoes."Football players today wear more than $300 worth of equipment for protection, from a $100 helmet to pads for most every part of the body, that can cost more than $75," said Tom Brunick, director of The Athlete's Foot WearTest Center in Naperville, Ill. "Unfortunately, the equipment that can most easily prevent serious damage is often neglected. People don't realize that wearing improperly fitting shoes or the wrong type of cleat for the playing surface can contribute to serious injuries."As competitive outdoor field sports continue to grow, more and more leagues are playing on different surfaces. Where only one or two different styles of cleated shoes were available to young athletes 15 years ago, today kids can find cleats designed for soft, grassy fields, hard ground, or artificial turf. Each type of cleat provides the support and cushioning for the surface on which it was made to be used.Brunick suggests considering these types of cleats: Molded cleat outsoles: designed for use on natural surfaces which are not wet or very soft. These shoes provide good stability and cushioning. If the athlete is not playing on artificial turf, molded cleat shoes are the most versatile shoe. Hard ground shoes: designed for wear on hard natural ground or artificial turf. These shoes are popular as they give players traction on a variety of surfaces and provide substantial cushioning. Detachable cleat systems: designed for use on a soft, grassy surface. Because of climatic conditions in most areas of the country, these cleats are not used as much as molded cleat shoes.Many soccer players understand the importance of wearing different shoes for different surfaces. That knowledge has often been attributed to the fact that footwear is the only equipment a soccer player has to purchase. Most importantly, however, soccer players realize that their feet help them get to the action and they make the action happen by kicking the ball."Football players would be amazed at the improvement in their game if they realized what playing in the right shoes could do," noted Brunick. "Using a variety of cleats would cut down on the time in the training room dealing with nagging injuries such as shin splints, tendinitis and sprained ankles, and allow them to enjoy the sport a bit more."In addition to adapting cleated footwear to the many types of playing surfaces, manufacturers have also added other features that enhance fit and overall comfort. Staggered lacing systems, high tops, removable insoles and support straps are now used in different shoes, providing football, soccer and field hockey players with more stability, support and cushioning."First and foremost, cleated shoes should fit the individual athlete's foot type," explained Brunick. "If the shoe is too small or too large, it can cause problems no matter what type of surface on which it is used."With more than 550 stores worldwide, The Athlete's Foot is committed to being the industry leader in serving the needs of athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Stores specialize in a full product range of athletic shoes for men, women and children, and also offer athletic apparel and accessories. The Athlete's Foot is the only retailer in the country with its own independent weartest center that evaluates athletic footwear.

Nike Roshe Run Women Black White Home Remedy Treatments for Foot Pain As incredible as our feet may be, few of us ever think about them until they hurt. Fortunately, if your dogs are barking, there are several things you can do to pamper them and prevent serious problems from developing. If you have diabetes or any problem with circulation, however, your feet require extra special care, and you should run these home remedies (and any other foot care steps you're considering) by your doctor or podiatrist for approval before trying any of them at home. Take a load off. If you have to stand a great deal, take breaks to take the weight off your feet. Whenever you can, elevate your feet at a 45 degree angle to your body, and relax for 10 to 15 minutes. Elevating your feet will move blood away from the feet and help reduce swelling. Give them a soak. Put two tablespoons of Epsom salts into a basin of warm water, and give your feet a relaxing bath for 15 minutes. Then, pat your feet dry with a soft towel, and moisturize them with your favorite cream or lotion. Alternate hot and cold. Sit on the edge of the bathtub and alternately run cold water then (comfortably) hot water (for one minute each) on the feet; end with cold water. Give them the squeeze. There's nothing quite as relaxing as a foot massage. Have a partner massage your feet with massage oil, baby oil, or moisturizing lotion (then put socks on before you stand up to prevent slipping). Or treat yourself by massaging your own feet. First, apply oil and condition the foot with medium light strokes, using your thumbs and fingers. Next, starting with the ball of the foot, work across and down the entire foot using the thumbs to make small, circular motions. Use the thumbs to make long, deep strokes along the arch of the foot, moving in the direction of the toes. Gently squeeze, rotate, and pull each toe. End by cupping the foot between both hands and gently squeezing up and down the length of each foot. Ice 'em. A cool way to refresh your feet after a long, hard day is to ice them down with a washcloth filled with ice. It'll make them feel wonderful and decrease swelling. Exercise your feet. Like any part of the body, the feet stay healthiest if they're kept strong and flexible with regular exercise. Walking in shoes that provide good support and cushioning is excellent exercise for the feet. Feet also benefit from specific foot exercises. Next, point your toes as much as you can; then stretch them up towards you. Ingrown toenails may be inherited, but improper nail trimming can make the problem worse. Trim the nails straight across and only to the end of the toe, then file the corners to remove sharp edges that might cut the skin. Buy shoes that fit. Too often, people buy shoes that don't fit their feet. They opt for fashion rather than fit or comfort. A good fitting pair of shoes will improve virtually any foot problem. Know your feet. Different types of feet require different kinds of shoes. For instance, if you have high arches, your feet tend to be rigid. Shoes with lots of cushioning will help absorb shock. Flat bottomed feet are less rigid, but less stable, too, so they require shoes that control excess motion. To find out what kind of foot you have, wet your bare feet and stand on a concrete floor or piece of paper. If you have high arches, the outline of your foot will appear very narrow and curved like a half moon. If the outline looks like a slab, you're probably flat footed. Wear the right shoes for the activity. Wearing the wrong type of shoes can cause a long list of problems, including knee tendinitis, chronic foot pain, heel spurs, and stress fractures. Choosing the right shoes is especially important when it comes to fitness footwear. Different sports and exercises have unique repetitive movements that require special support and cushioning. You wouldn't play basketball in a pair of heels. Likewise, don't rely on that old pair of sneakers if you're going climbing or hiking. Spend the extra money to buy shoes that are specific for the activity you're doing. The investment could save you and your feet a lot of pain. Replace worn shoes. It's tough to give up those old favorite shoes, but often, we wear shoes long after they've lost their ability to support and cushion the foot. Keep in mind that looks can be deceiving: A pair of shoes may show few signs of wear and tear but no longer absorb the shock of pounding the pavement. Instead, pay attention to your body. If your feet are killing you, knees ache, or hips hurt after spending time on your feet, your shoes may no longer be doing their job. Simple home remedies from the kitchen can help to relieve your foot pain. Keep reading to learn more about natural cures for aching feet. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.
