Did ancient romans and greeks were blond, light-skined and had blue eyes?
I DONT KNOW WHERE THESE GUYS GOT THEIR INFO BUT IM GUESSING HOLLYWOOD . AND I TELL YOU ACHILLES DID NOT HAVE BLUE EYES AND BLOND HAIR. AND NO I WAS NOT THERE TO SEE IT. THE ROMANS WERE KNOWN FOR BEING SHORT THATS EXACTLY WHY THE SHORT SWORD (GLADIUS) WORKED SO WELL FOR THEM. SULLA WAS KNOWN FOR HIS ABNORMAL REDDISH HAIR. IN SAYING THAT ROMANS WERE NOTORIOUS FOR MAKING FUN OF THEIR NORTHERN EUROPEAN COUNTERPARTS FOR THEIR HEIGHT. GREEKS WERE DEFINETLY NOT LIGHT SKINNED. AS FOR THE ROMANS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKELY TO HAVE THE NORTHERN ATTRIBUTES YOU SPEAK OF IN THE VERY LATE DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC TO THE EARLY IMPERIAL TIMES AND SO FORTH. BUT AS A WHOLE IN CLASSICAL EUROPE IT WAS BROWN EYES, BROWN HAIR, AS FOR THEIR SKIN THEY WERE ON THE LITE TANNED SIDE. THE ETHNIC TRAITS YOU SPEAK OF WERE FOUND BEYOND THE CISALPINE RANGE AND UP AROUND THE BALTIC SEA (Germany , Northern Gaul and across into Schandinavia) WHICH WAS A REGION THAT ROME DID NOT EXCELL IN AND WERE NOT WELCOME TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE MEDITERANEAN WAS IN A WARMER CLIMATE WHICH WAS A MIGRATING GROUND FOR PHOENICANS, GREEKS, EGYPTIANS AND EVEN LATER THE CARTHAGINIANS. THE CLASSICAL PERIOD WAS 500+ BEFORE THE GREAT NORTHERN INVASION EVEN STARTED WHICH IS WHEN THE MORE MODERN VERSION OF EUROPEANS STARTED TO APPEAR. DONT TRUST THE MOVIES.

Slip and Fall lawsuit in Olive Gardne....?
My 59 year old mother fell in front of Olive Garden rest. just about when she is entering the door this past saturday. The reason she fell was because of how the design was for the walk way. There were little bumpy rocks sticking out of it. She was walking, tripped on the rocks that were sticking out and fell on her left knee. The manager came out filed the report and called the ambulance for her. He said an Olive Garden insurance agent will contact her the next day and they are willing to pay for her medical bills. After the doctor, she realized she need surgery on her left knee to find out that she have a broken knee cap. (no knee or leg issues before) Now she can not walk or work for at least 2 to 3 months. So I would like Olive Garden to not only pay for her medical bills but for the months that she will be missing work etc.. My other question is If I do decide to put a lawsuit against Olive Garden and lost, will they still pay for the medical bills(now that we might upset them that we file a lawsuit). When in the first place they have no problem paying just for the medical bills
What is the most memorable encounter you have had with a law enforcement officer?
I was looking over the desert with binoculars when I saw them. A dozen illegal immigrants crossing the desert in the hot sun, looking for water.Getting on the radio, I called the main security office on the mine campus. The supervisor in charge told me he would contact Border Patrol. He asked my location and told me to keep an eye on them.Within twenty minutes a BP unit pulled up. The agent within told me to hop in, and direct him to the site where they were. He was driving a van with a cage partition and seat going down the sides.When we pulled up, the illegals groaned. To come all this way to be sent back. However, by this point they were so tired and thirsty they were more than glad to get into the A/C so they could be transported to water and food. Except for one.He was pissed. As other units pulled up to our position and began to load them up, he become agitated and began cursing. The illegals were cuffed and a seat belt was put on them when they sat.With a curse in Spanish, the belligerent one spit in the agent’s face. The agent didn’t lose his cool, he merely cuffed the man in silence. He then put him into the van, but he didn’t do the one thing that the others had gotten…he didn’t secure a seat belt on him.The agents looked through his binoculars and spied my patrol vehicle in the distance. “Nothing like a straight line.” he said.So instead of using roads to get back, we went seriously off road. Through ditches, over rocks and berms straight back to my rig. We got bounced around…a lot.When we got back to my unit, he opened the back door to check out his passengers. All of them looked the same as when we had loaded them in…except the spitter.With his hands cuffed behind him and not being secured, he looked like he’d been beaten by a gang. All that off road driving, and he hadn’t been able to steady himself or brace himself. Think “rock in a tin can”. The others were glaring at the spitter. They had to endure being slammed by him. But at least they were secured.The agent asked in perfect Spanish “Are you going to spit at me any more?”The man, looking crestfallen, said, “No, sir, I won’t.”Lesson learned.

What does it mean if the clothing label has a red line through the designer name?
The red line through the label means that the item is no longer able to be returned to the original retailer. The reason for this could be that the item was purchased at a mall store, worn and returned, that the item was discontinued at the end of the season, or that the quality did not meet the retailer's expectations during wear or washing. Once red lined items are sent to a retailer such as Marshalls, TJMaxx or similar discounted stores, the original retailer holds no responsibility to the quality of the product and their return policy no longer applies. That said, I just wash anything I buy that is red-lined and enjoy my bargain.
Is The whole food/plant based movement just a new fad diet or is it based on actual proven research?
The whole foods, plant-based diet has been scientifically confirmed as THE healthiest way for humans to eat thanks to history’s largest, longest, most comprehensive study of human nutrition ever done: The China Study. In his book titled “The China Study,” Dr. T. Colin Campbell describes how hundreds of doctors scientifically surveyed and tested thousands of subjects over twenty years in dozens of diverse areas in China (rural, suburban, urban), the clinical laboratory experiments performed, all funded by both the U.S. and Chinese governments in the days before industry corruption.Dr. Campbell also gives an insider's account of how the food industry corrupted regulatory agencies in the U.S. to allow industry to promote false and misleading information to the public to increase their profits over our health.It's a relatively easy read meant for the layperson, fully notated and peer reviewed, and quite an eye-opener. Humans *are* capable of consuming animal protein to survive. We had to do it when our species migrated into colder climates out of Africa, where plant food was available year-round, and average life expectancy was 25 years. But now that we're regularly living into our 80s and 90s, we have discovered that our long-term health is negatively affected by the consumption of animal protein, and that's the most final proof of all.The bottom line is: the less animal protein you consume, the longer and healthier you’re likely to live, with two additional and important side benefits (assuming everyone in the world went Nutritarian): a significant reduction in the greenhouse gasses causing global warming, and an end to the totally unnecessary Auschwitz-like inhumane treatment of sentient animals happening by the millions every day.
