Personal Best - Drink a Slushie Before Hot-Weather Workouts - NYTimes.com

An exercise researcher in New Zealand determined that drinking an ice slushie before exercising extended runners' endurance by an average of 10 minutes—a tidbit that might come in handy when you're tackling that 5k this summer.

Amy Winehouse Hospitalized Over Breast Injury












.inquisitr.com amy-winehouse-hospitalized


Over on Inquisitr is a story about Amy Winehouse.   As usual I’m pretty late to the party.  Until recently I never saw a picture of Ms. Winehouse, although I’ve read a blurb or two.Upon seeing the picture, I had to wonder… is she trying to outdo Madonna?  Is she some sort of bizarre parody of a vocalist?  Is she being bankrolled by the mascara industry?In any case, the title of the article is “Amy Winehouse Hospitalized Over Breast Injury”.

In all my years of drinking beer, I haven't once come across a pairing that out-and-out didn't work. 
Some pairings are better than others, to be sure, but your own taste is the final judge.
