9 Surprising Uses for Beer | Care2 Healthy & Green Living

Beer. It refreshes and relaxes, it fuels sociability and cools the burn of spicy food. It is the most-widely consumed alcoholic beverage in the world, and the third most common beverage overall. It is the oldest alcoholic beverage produced–and in fact, the oldest known code of laws (the Code of Hammurabi ca 1750 B.C.) called for the death penalty for drinking-house proprietors found guilty of watering down their beer. Those Babylonians took their suds seriously.



But aside from the numero uno use for beer–drinking! woohoo!–it is one of the most over-looked components of many a DIY solution to common household conundrums. Here are nine alternative ways to put your brew to good use:

7 Things Your Teeth Say About Your Health | Teeth & Health | Care2 Healthy & Green Living

Some messages coming out of your mouth bypass the vocal chords. Turns out that your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues also have plenty to say — about your overall health.



“Your mouth is connected to the rest of your body,” says Anthony Iacopino, dean of the University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry and a spokesperson for the American Dental Association. “What we see in the mouth can have a significant effect on other organ systems and processes in the body. And the reverse is also true: Things that are going on systemically in the body can manifest in the mouth.”



So stay attuned to the following warning messages, and have worrisome symptoms checked out by a dentist or doctor.

“Forget China, India and the Internet: Economic Growth Is Driven by Women.” ~Source: Headline, Economist http://bit.ly/dniYag
If a man is called a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and Earth will pause to say, Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well. ~Martin Luther King, Jr. http://bit.ly/9mR1Ob

Walt Disney's wonderful life (photos) | TechRepublic Photo Gallery

SAN FRANCISCO--You might not think of the City by the Bay as the most likely place for a museum dedicated to the life of Walt Disney, but thanks to the influence of the late, great animator's daughter and wife--both of whom have strong ties to the Bay Area--the city is host to the Walt Disney Family Museum, which opened its doors to the public for the first time just over a year ago, on October 1, 2009.



The museum is a fantastic tour through Disney's life--and the works that made him and his company so famous. Stretching from his earliest days as an animator all the way to his death, it is ten galleries full of original concept art, posters, figurines, and much, much more, all guaranteed to delight any Disney fan.



But it's not just a celebration of Mickey Mouse and friends. The museum also highlights some of the more controversial parts of the animator's life, including his testimony to the House Un-American Activities Committee, a major strike at Disney Studios, and the company's work making war propaganda for the U.S. military.



Yet, in the end, it's Disney's work in the movies that carries the day. And perhaps there is no better celebration of his success than this very special Oscar, which Disney was awarded in 1939 for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" by Shirley Temple and which included seven small Oscar figurines.


If you choose to recommend or hire friends and family, take heed | Career Management | TechRepublic.com

There’s an old Irish saying, “You don’t know someone until you’ve lived with them.” I would say you never know a person until you’ve worked with them. This is why it surprises me that countless people recommend friends and family for positions at their companies without knowing much about their work ethic.

How to Quit Your Job | BNET

I remember the first time I had to tell my boss I was leaving. After 13 years with the same firm, I’d become fed up, frustrated and bored. My new job had higher status, more autonomy and a lot more money. With my ego at an all-time high, I couldn’t wait to go in and tell my boss — with the full panoply of vindictive glory — that I was leaving to work for a competitor who truly appreciated me.



Thank god a friend stopped me.
