on IYM's MIND: Taurine

Taurine is named after the Latin Taurus which means bull or ox, as it was first isolated from ox bile.

Urban legends suggest that taurine is extracted from the semen and/or urine of bulls. While it is true that taurine is found in these sources, nearly all commercially available taurine is chemically synthesized.

A study of mice hereditarily unable to transport taurine suggests that it is needed for proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles. In addition, it has been shown to be effective in removing fatty liver deposits in rats, preventing liver disease, and reducing cirrhosis in tested animals. There is also evidence that taurine is beneficial for adult human blood pressure and possibly, the alleviation of other cardiovascular ailments (in humans suffering essential hypertension, taurine supplementation resulted in measurable decreases in blood pressure).

on IYM's MIND: Schlitz

Schlitz was hired as a bookkeeper in a tavern brewery owned by August Krug. In 1856, he took over management of the brewery following the death of Krug. Two years after Schlitz married Krug's widow, he changed the name of the brewery to the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.

Schlitz felt his dream of quality beer for the people was more important than immediate financial gain.

Schlitz died May 7, 1875, when on a return visit to Germany; his ship hit a rock near Land's End, Cornwall, and sank.

The once strong Schlitz brand was relegated to cheap beer status and became increasingly difficult to find in bars and restaurants, especially after the draft version was discontinued in 2001.

A shooting range or firing range is a specialized facility designed for firearms practice. Each facility is typically overseen by one or more supervisory personnel, called variously a range master in the United States or a range conducting officer or "RCO" in the UK. These supervisory personnel are responsible for ensuring that all gun safety rules are followed at all times.

Shooting ranges can be indoor or outdoor and possibly restricted to certain types of firearms, e.g. handguns only or rifles, or they can specialize in certain shooting sports such Skeet shooting or 10 m Air Pistol/Rifle.

on IYM's MIND: Beezid.com

Beezid is a whole new way to get the deals on product. Beezid offers a thrilling spin on auction shopping by offering Penny auctions.

From WikiAnswers "is Beezid lagit?":
Its not a scam. They make a ton of money off of you in a selling platform that is similar to gambling. If you follow through, you will make a great deal on many items, more likely the more expensive items. Bids cost a dollar and prices go up by pennys. Be aware of how much the item is worth first and then make a good decision to bid. If you are bidding on a 100 dollar gift card, dont bid more than a 100 times for the item. 100 bids is equal to a 1.00 price displayed. So if an item says its going for 12.17, over 1200 bids have been placed by people on that item. 1,217 bids means beezid has made 1,217 dollars off the item.
Thats a very high profit model making the creators geniuses. A lot of people lose cuz they dont understand the model. Remember to think a first bid thoroughly before preceeding and if you are bidding on something, you should be willing to go all the way. Again, dont compare bid price to actual price, its the number of bids to be placed and be sure to wait until the final moments of an item before bidding. Its like an auction where if someone places a bid, the time goes up a bit as it continuously counts down.
