Question reblogged from DOMINUS PARS HÆREDITATIS MEÆ with 171 notes
iranianatheist said: You seem to love the bible, let me know what you think of these bible verses (Old & New Testament). Deuteronomy 22: 28-29 says Rape a virgin, then pay the father off & she is your wife, Exodus 21: 7-8 says: Sell your daughter, she becomes a slave to her master, 1 Corinthians 14:34 says: Women are not allowed to speak in Church Deuteronomy 22:20-21 says Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night, 1 Timothy 2:12 says Women are not allowed to teach.. Now you know how much god loves you
Thanks very much for your input but I think Jesus dying on the cross tells me much more about how much God loves me.
Hello thatkliqkid: Good answer, but let me help you out a little more in addressing the grossly inaccurate and bigoted comments addressed against the Bible and God.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 is not speaking of rape as we define it today, but of the man who takes advantage of a young woman and has intercourse with her and then wants to dump her and take off and brag to his friends about a "conquest." The Bible says he is to marry her and unlike other married men, he is never allowed to dump her/divorce her.
Deuteronomy 22:25 speaks of the actual crime of rape. It is to be punished with DEATH.
Exodus 27:7. Sometimes the destitute poor sold their children into slavery. Daughters of foreign tribes were carried off and the masters did whatever they wanted with them. This part of the Law commands that a Hebrew girl must be sold only to a Hebrew man. The man has a certain time to keep her and then he was supposed to marry her or give her the rights of a wife. If that time came up and he didn't want to do that, he couldn't just toss her on the street or sell her to a non-Hebrew but only a Hebrew family.
1 Corinthians 14:34. Timothy 2:12. Ah yes, the favorite quotes about women not preaching nor (Timothy) having authority over men in the Church. Can we have some context please? Did you say yes? Thank you, I thought you'd never ask.
The Corinthian church had problems of disorderly outbursts (read the REST of the letter), and there were questions about the role of preaching and apostolic authority and if women were called to this office in the church assembly. People would get up, out of turn, and begin to prophesy or go on in tongues that no one could understand. It was disruptive and led to the divisions which St. Paul had to rebuke.
In the case of women, especially those who were married, it would have made for more than awkward tensions with their husbands. Because if a married woman is getting up and fighting in church, especially with another married woman, and the husbands have to defend their wives which means getting mad at other men who are telling the women to sit down and be quiet, then pretty soon you have chaos.
The Apostle in other epistles invited ALL the Christians to speak to God in psalms, hymns and inspired songs. And obviously they were speaking in tongues or interpreting them because Corinthians does not say these gifts were only restricted to men. But the tension came with exercising a priestly or apostolic function.
The Church discerned that this was not a call which women were given by the Lord Jesus. So, by saying women were not to teach or preach, or be domineering over the men in the assembly, the Church was fine-tuning its understanding of leadership within the church's liturgy. That doesn't mean that women did not take charge of charity, religious education, visitations to the sick, prison ministry, looking after widows or orphans, youth ministry, or even management of church finances along with their deacon husbands.
Okay, I hope this gives some context to these Bible quotes. Deuteronomy addressed a social injustice (seducing and impregnating girls and then not taking any responsibility), Exodus dealt with a fairer treatment of female slaves so that the Hebrew community would always try to look out for them (unlike foreign tribes which beat and killed them like animals), and Corinthians and Timothy is trying to alleviate some of the disorder in the church congregation that led to marital tensions (and the church was always concerned about happy marriages and stable families). God bless and take care! Fr. Angel

Quote reblogged from Stand Up Then And Be Ready! with 133 notes
Why is Jesus the most controversial and the most embarrassing name in the world?
No one is embarrassed if you talk about Buddha, or Muhammad, or Moses. Neither Buddhists nor non-Buddhists are embarrassed to talk about Buddha. Why are almost all educated, non-fundamentalist Christians embarrassed to talk about Jesus to non-Christians, and why are almost all non-Christians embarrassed to hear such talk?
If you're not sure my assumption is true, test it, in any secular company, or mixed company, especially educated company. The name will fall with a thud, and produce sudden silence and embarrassment. You not only hear the embarrassment, you can feel it. The temperature drops. Or rises. It never stays the same.
You might answer that Christians are embarrassed not for themselves but for others: they are embarrassed only because they are sensitive to the embarrassment they know the name of Jesus will cause to non-Christians. But that only pushes the mystery back one step: why are non-Christians so embarrassed at this name? Why is "Jesus" the most non-neutral name in the world?
Jesus talk is like sex talk. There is no neutral language for sex. All our words about sex are either "sexy" or an attempt to avoid being "sexy". They are either (1) the ecstatic language of love, or (2) the gutter language of raunch, or (3) the tension-releasing language of the laugh (sex and religion are the two most popular subjects of jokes), or (4) the deliberately impersonal, scientific, and technological language of clinical medicine. And our words about Jesus are either (1) love-words, or (2) blasphemy words, or (3) jokes, or (4) impersonal, technical, theological words.
Jesus is a sword. He divides. You cannot be neutral about Him until you make a deliberate effort to thrust something away, something in your heart: either passionate attraction or passionate rejection of something, or at least deep embarrassment at something. Is it just at Christians? Is it at Christianity? Or is it at Christ?
Why is He history's greatest divider? Why is He the razor edge of the round world? What does He do to you, to put you on that edge, no matter who you are and no matter what you believe or don't believe?

"Pope Francis rejects attack on old rite and says, 'treasure tradition.'"
"The underlying message [from the Tavoliere bishops]: Summorum Pontificum should be cancelled, or at least strongly limited. But Francis said no."
One thing that jumps out of the story is that the bishops of this region judged that their main pastoral priority - to be communicated to the Pope on a five-yearly visit - was to attack Summorum Pontificum. Forget abortion, embryo experimentation, the push for same-sex marriage throughout Europe, the loss of faith of many Catholics and our failure in catechesis and evangelisation. No, the really big problem is a small number of priests legitimately saying the old Mass. Given what Pope Francis has said about the danger of being a self-referential Church, I can well imagine he gave them short shrift.

Everything went very well. The kitchen/mudroom/laundry-room was not a small job but
Bought tile at store for a very competitive price. Tile had to be ordered due to it not being in stock. Took about 2 weeks to get it. Tile and service was top notch.
Removed and hauled away old carpet and padding. Installed new carpet and padding. Great attention to detail. The entire job took about 2 1/2 hours. They worked quickly but very carefully. They even did little things like going over all the places the carpet was cut to remove any stray strings. The installers were friendly and professional. I have nothing but the highest praise for this business. We found them through recommendations from two of our friends. You will enjoy doing business with them.
We had a water line break in our finished basement. The water flowed under the carpet across the basement to a floor drian in our utility room. I called me an estimate. He told me he could replace the damage portion of the padding and re-install the carpet for $145 but cautioned me that
The carpet looked wonderful! He got it done for me in one day, first call to finish job. Great work.
I already have some other jobs in mind for him.

Natural Cold and Flu Remedies: What Are the Risks?
Experts say that natural cold and flu remedies seem fairly safe -- at least when taken in normal doses by healthy adults. The fact that you'd probably only use them for a few days when you're sick adds to their safety.
"The risks of potentially toxic effects from herbs are almost always related to long-term use," says Paul R. Thomas, EdD, RD, scientific consultant for the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health.
There are some exceptions. Talk to your doctor before taking any herb, supplement, or vitamin if:
- You are pregnant
- You have a medical condition
- You take medicines or other supplements, which may interact to cause problems
Make sure you purchase brands of supplements that bear a USP or NF seal on the label. The USP and NF seals indicate the supplements have undergone quality-control testing. ConsumerLab.com can also be consulted to make sure the product is legitimate.
Also, don't rely on supplements when you truly need medical care.
"I think the biggest risk is when the symptoms don't subside but people just keep trying to treat themselves with supplements instead of seeing a doctor," Leopold tells WebMD. Self-treatment is especially risky when it comes to the flu. Influenza can be dangerous, especially to those who are very young, older, or sick.
Natural Cold and Flu Remedies in Children
Are natural cold and flu remedies safe for kids? It's a question many parents are asking, particularly in light of the risks of cold and cough medicines for children.
Leopold believes that using supplements in children can be a reasonable option -- provided you always check with a pediatrician or family doctor first. Keep in mind that most alternative supplements have never been studied in children specifically. So we can't be certain that a treatment that is effective and safe in adults will work the same way in kids.
Always err on the side of caution. "When a child is really sick, you don't want to waste time messing with herbal stuff," says Lausier. "You need to get them to a pediatrician."
Cold and Flu: Other Natural Treatments
Natural remedies for colds and flu go well beyond herbs and supplements. Good lifestyle and hygiene habits are proven to reduce your risk of getting sick.
- Eat healthy foods. Get regular exercise. Learn to manage stress. Those are among the best natural ways to prevent colds and flu, says Leopold.
- Cover your mouth when you cough. Make sure to cough into your sleeve instead of your hand, Lausier says. You'll reduce the odds of passing your germs on to someone else.
- Wash your hands. Washing with soap for the time it takes to sing two rounds of "Happy Birthday" -- or rubbing your hands with an alcohol-based gel with enough gel to rub hands together for 30 seconds -- remains one of the best ways of protecting yourself from cold and flu germs.

Zoonoses are diseases that are naturally transmitted between animals and humans. The following are major zoonoses that can be transmitted from commonly used laboratory animals to humans.
View list of zoonoses by species
These two diseases are caused by bacterial organisms commonly found in many species of animals including some laboratory rodents, chickens, reptiles, cats, dogs, ferrets, rabbits, sheep, pigs and nonhuman primates. Rats and guinea pigs are especially susceptible to Salmonella infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Campylobacter is the most common cause of bacterial diarrheal illness in humans in the United States. Fecal-oral is the primary route of transmission between animals and from animals to people. Animals are often asymptomatic carriers of these organisms, acting as a source of infection but not demonstrating any clinical signs themselves. Signs in infected humans are characteristic of acute gastrointestinal disease including diarrhea, dehydration, nausea, fever and abdominal cramping.
Shigella is a bacterial organism which commonly infects primates. People are the primary reservoir of the disease. Nonhuman primates contract the disease via exposure to other primates. They can be asymptomatic or have diarrheal illness that may result in death. People become infected by ingestion of fecal contaminated food or water, or by direct contact with infected animals. Humans usually have mild diarrhea although more severe signs such as dysentery (mucus and blood in feces), anorexia, weight loss, abdominal pain and death are possible.
This disease is caused by Brucella spp., bacterial organisms present in dogs, sheep, cattle pigs and goats. The route of infection in humans in the laboratory animal facility can be contamination of wounds and mucous membranes, and inhalation of Brucella containing aerosols. The bacteria disseminate through the body via the bloodstream and eventually enter the lymphatic system. Symptoms in infected people include fever, chills, sweats, weakness, generalized aches and weight loss. Without treatment, the disease can progress to include emotional and cardiac signs and arthritis. These symptoms can wax and wane over a period of years.
This infection is caused by Bartonella henselae, a bacterial organism. The common mode of transmission is by scratches or bites of cats and dogs. It is believed that the cat flea sheds this organism and plays a role in spread of disease between cats and from cats to humans. Symptoms of infection in people include a red blister at the inoculation site, swollen lymph nodes, malaise, fever and nausea.
Cercopithecine herpesvirus I (formerly Herpesvirus simiae or B-virus) is found most commonly in Old World monkeys as a latent infection and is especially prevalent in macaque monkeys. The virus is transmitted from monkeys to people primarily by means of bites and scratches and through contact of infected body fluids with broken skin. A splash to the eye has also been recognized as the cause of fatal infection. Infected people demonstrate severe neurologic signs with a 70% fatality rate. Although the risk of acquiring a B-virus infection from macaques is very low, the seriousness of this disease warrants extreme care when handling macaques.
Orf virus causes disease in sheep and goats characterized by pustular and necrotic lesions on the lips, gums, nostrils, urogenital orifices, teats and udders. Orf is transmitted to people by direct contact with lesions and exudates containing virus. Symptoms in people include solitary or multiple lesions on the hands, arms or face, which are pustular and eventually begin to weep.
This group of fevers (Yellow Fever, Dengue, Marburg Virus, Ebola, Hantavirus) is caused by RNA viruses. Transmission is via direct contact with infected animals, exposure to blood and/or body excretions of infected animals, fomites (e.g., contaminated medical sharps) or arthropod insect bites. Symptoms include fever, bleeding from multiple areas of the body, low blood pressure and shock. Infections with Hantavirus, Ebola virus and Marburg virus are associated with a high fatality rate.
A variety of rodents carry hantaviruses which can result in human disease. Infection can occur following brief exposure. Transmission is usually by inhalation of contaminated aerosols, but spread via animal bites and contaminated cell lines is also possible. Illness in humans is characterized by flu like symptoms which can progress to kidney and/or respiratory failure, hemorrhage and death. This disease is rarely observed in barrier-reared rodents; however, because it is such a severe disease it should be considered.
Two common bacterial organisms that can infect bite wounds are Pasteurella multocida and Capnocytophaga canimorsus. Both bacteria are present in the normal oral flora of dogs and cats. Signs can vary from a localized cellulitis or abscess to septicemia (fever, chills, malaise, vomiting and diarrhea, gangrene and seizures). C. canimorsus commonly infects immunocompromised individuals, with a 33% fatality rate.
The influenza virus infects a number of animal species including humans, birds, ferrets, horses and pigs. Transmission is caused by aerosol exposure. The risk of humans acquiring the virus from animals is low. The virus causes an acute disease characterized by upper respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms with fever. Ferrets and rodents can be susceptible to infection from humans.
LCM is caused by a virus carried by rodents. The virus causes minimal clinical signs in rodents. Transmission is via bite wounds or inhalation of contaminated air or exposure to contaminated cell lines. Flu like symptoms are usually observed in infected humans, but more severe manifestations of disease such as encephalomeningitis and death can occur.
This bacterial disease is caused by Pasteurella organisms. Many animals including, dogs, cats, rabbits, ruminants and birds carry these bacteria. Pasteurella is primarily spread by bites and scratches and is especially threatening to immunocompromised people. Symptoms in people include abscess formation at the site of the bite or scratch, and respiratory, bone or joint infections.
Pneumocystis carinii has been generally classified as a protozoan, but recent evidence suggests that it may be a fungus. Most animal species harbor this organism in the respiratory tract. Pneumocystis is primarily transmitted via inhalation and does not cause clinical signs in immunocompetent animals or people. Infected immunocompromised individuals develop anorexia, weight loss and pneumonia.
Q Fever is transmitted by Coxiella burnetii, a bacteria that commonly infects sheep, goats and cattle. The organism is shed in the placental tissues, urine, feces, milk and blood of these animals. The primary mode of transmission is via inhalation of infectious aerosols. Coxiella burnetii is highly infectious and resistant in the environment. Infected animals are usually asymptomatic. Symptoms of infection in people include acute onset of flu like illness characterized by fever, headache, chills, sweats and weakness as well as a nonproductive cough and pneumonia. Serious sequellae include endocarditis, hepatitis and nephritis.
All mammals are susceptible to the rabies virus, which is almost always fatal in people. Transmission is usually through exposure to the body fluids of an infected animal, primarily via bites. Aerosol transmission is possible in specialized conditions such as laboratory settings and bat caves. Clinical signs in infected humans include fever, malaise, salivation and behavioral changes which can progress to paresis, paralysis, convulsions and coma.
This disease is caused by one of two bacteria (Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum minus) that inhabit the oral cavity of rats. It is spread by bite wounds. Although the rats show no signs, infected people display swelling at the bite wound, flu-like symptoms and enlarged lymph nodes.
This is a fungal infection of the skin that can be transmitted by contact with infected animals or contaminated bedding, caging etc. Many mammals including rodents, rabbits, ferrets, dogs, cats, pigs, ruminants and nonhuman primates can carry one of the fungal organisms (dermatophytes), which cause ringworm. Crusty lesions may be evident in animals. Infected people develop flat spreading, ring-shaped skin lesions which may or may not be itchy. This is not a serious disease and is often self-limiting.
This tropical nematode parasite Stronglyloides can infect dogs, cats, nonhuman primates and swine. It is transmitted via penetration of the infective larvae through the skin. Infected humans demonstrate skin lesions, urticaria, cough (due to pulmonary migration) and gastrointestinal signs.
The neurotoxin of the bacterium, Clostridium tetani, can cause tetanus in many animal species. People are infected by the bite or scratch of an infected animal or bacterial inoculation of a wound contaminated with soil or intestinal flora of herbivores. Symptoms of infection in people include painful spasms of the cheek and neck muscles (lock jaw), exaggerated reflexes, abdominal muscle tightening, convulsions and death.
Toxoplasmosis is caused by an intracellular coccidian parasite (Toxoplasma gondii) that resides in most warm-blooded animals. The domestic cat is the primary reservoir for transmission of infection to humans in the laboratory animal facility. Infection in the lab can occur by handling the feces of infected cats. Signs in immunocompetent humans are usually subclinical, but flu like symptoms are possible. Pregnant women are at risk for having abortions, stillbirths or birth defects.
Endoparasites of the genus Trichuris are commonly known as whipworms. The species of whipworm in nonhuman primates has zoonotic potential. It is transmitted in feces and is characterized by gastrointestinal disease in people.
Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberuclosis. Cattle, humans and birds are considered the major reservoir hosts. Many animals (e.g., birds, nonhuman primates, pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, dogs, cats and ferrets) are susceptible. Transmission among animals including people is primarily by inhalation. Two forms of clinical disease can occur in infected humans: the pulmonary form and the extrapulmonary form. The former is characterized by a productive cough, fever, lethargy, anorexia, weight loss and coughing up blood. The extrapulmonary form can cause enlarged lymph nodes, meningitis, bone infection and inflammation around the heart.
Other species of Mycobacterium harbored in various animals can result in human infection. Fish and amphibians have been known to transmit atypical Mycobacteriosis to humans causing "fish handler's granulomas" or "aquarist's nodules." More serious manifestations include osteomyelitis and tenosynovitis. Immunocompromised people are especially at risk.

text: Obama's Speech in Chicago's South Side, Just Another Photo Op by Jerome Hudson 15 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: In response to As Obama gets under way in Chicago: Joel, I agree with you here. But I think you're being a bit too generous. You're right, Obama has helped to downplay and undermined the idea of individual responsibility--but I fear the damage is far more devastating. Obama hasn't just undermined the notion of individual responsibility, he's nuked it. Obama's policies have pushed more American's into food stamps dependence in four years, than President Bush did in eight. From "Obama phones" to ObamaCare, the soul-crushing cancer of dependency is spreading at breakneck speed. While Obama pays lip service to civic responsibility, as you suggest, his government-growing actions fly in the face of responsibility. Worse still is the opportunist nature of President Obama giving a speech in South Side Chicago where gun violence is routine. His speech won't stop the shootings. The law-breaking gang bangers will keep killing. And his appearance, sadly, will serve as nothing more than a timely placed photo op.

- Comment on Cherry's bomb backfires (2011-10-08 02:52:02)
Its interesting that because you don't agree with Cherry or Milbury's opinions that you choose to use words like "acolytes," and "myopic," while you laud a guy like Thomson who owes every financial success he's ever enjoyed - including more than above average compensation as an enforcer and his NHLPA pension - from fighting. Than for Thomson to come out against the very thing that allowed him to enjoy quasi-fame, fortune and a more than comfortable retirement is INDEED the exact definition of a hypocrite. He's also a self confessed addict of illegal drugs and alcohol so I have no issue with the puke comment either, as he is "violating the criminal code" he so dearly wishes to defend from fighting himself with his illegal narcotic addiction. Hypocritical indeed yet again. But finally, to even bother to listen to Chris Nilan is an absolute joke. Nilan is a junkie of the lowest form, a guy who has sexual harassment, theft, assault, and indecent exposure on his resume in his post playing career. Essentially a lowlife addict, I have no sympathy for Nilan and his opinions are worthless. Heroin, pills, etc... All ILLEGAL drugs but the left wingers hang on his every word. Here is evidence Nilan did call for a ban on fighting: Despite Nilan's claims he never said fighting should be out of the game, he was quoted last month by the QMI agency calling for a ban. "The NHL should ban fighting because it's no longer a factor in the games." "Fighters these days can even be called up before the games," he said. "Come on, it makes no sense." As far as Im concerned all you have to do is watch the reaction of the rinks after a good fight - The NHL is in the ENTERTAINMENT business ladies and gentlemen, and the fans love the fighting plain and simple. It plays a role as an active deterrent as well, but that has been effectively neutered by the implementation of the "instigator" rule. This allows the "super pest" types like Lapierre, Cooke, Ruutu, etc... to run around and cheap shot others without fear of retribution. As Brian Burke has said, "When they take fighting out of the game, thats when Im out as well " (paraphrased). I've played and coached the game at all levels from minor hockey to Junior, and it is a necessary and integral part of the game both historically and in the present. The only people that are calling for a ban on fighting are the people who aren't paying for the tickets to go to the games. The average Canadian household (and I've lived in 7 out of 10 provinces) love the fighting and can relate with the enforcer. In fact if you check merchandise sales, generally after the superstar player, the sale of the enforcer merchandise is the next highest; however the average Canadian cannot afford to attend the games live anymore, so they are forced to listen to the opinions of the left wing liberals who have never played the game. The same ones who throw their hands in the air when a grown man who owes everything he ever has to the game of hockey comes out against fighting years later... Kudos to Don Cherry, his rant was met with a very positive reception in Northern Alberta, and many other parts of Canada.

- Description of business
I have always been passionate about weight lifting. Moved out to the west coast two years ago to pursue a dream of creating the perfect pair of workout gloves for women. I want to be comfortable and look stylish when I'm at the gym. So... I have invented the best pair of workout gloves. G-LOVES are a marriage of fashion and function in a workout glove for women. They are neoprene and ultra feminine with a ruffle trim. They come in many patterns: leopard, zebra, plaid, skulls, lace and in many solid colors like black, neon pink, neon yellow, red, lime green, turqouise, royal blue, orange, and purple! They are truly an accessory that is thick enough to protect a delicate hand, yet thin enough to grasp the weights! First, we are coming out with gloves, but we plan on coming out with a men's line of g-loves and expanding into all kinds of workout wear!
Features of glove:
easy on and off
anti-microbial and protects from germs
economical packaging

US doctors eradicate cancer with measles vaccine
A 49-year-old US woman with advanced bone marrow cancer called multiple myeloma is effectively cancer-free after receiving an experimental trial that injected her a single dose of an engineered measles vaccine, a study said.
The patient, with tumors all over her body, including a three-cm-diametre one on her forehead, experienced complete remission of myeloma and has been clear of the disease for over six months, Xinhua reported citing the study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
A second patient, a 65-year-old woman, did not respond as well to the virus treatment that is selectively toxic to myeloma plasma cells, researchers said.
However, high-tech imaging studies "provided a clear proof" that the intravenously administered virus specifically targeted the sites of tumor growth.
The researchers said the trial is a "proof of concept" that virotherapy, destroying cancer with a virus that infects and kills cancer cells but spares normal tissues, can be effective against the deadly cancer multiple myeloma.
"This is the first study to establish the feasibility of systemic oncolytic virotherapy for disseminated cancer," Mayo Clinic hematologist Stephen Russell, first author of the paper and co-developer of the therapy, said in a statement.
"These patients were not responsive to other therapies and had experienced several recurrences of their disease."
Virotherapy has a history dating back to the 1950s, according to the Mayo Clinic, and thousands of cancer patients have been treated with a host of various viruses.
"However, this study provides the first well-documented case of a patient with disseminated cancer having a complete remission at all disease sites after virus administration."
It was noted that both patients were studied at the highest possible dose of the therapy.
Both women also had limited previous exposure to measles, and therefore fewer antibodies to the virus, and essentially had no remaining treatment options.
The researchers said their next step is to see if the measles vaccine works in a larger number of patients. They also want to test the effectiveness of the virotherapy in combination with radioactive therapy in a future study.

Fantastic tour of the International Space Station
Sunita Williams was in charge of the International Space Station for six months. On her last day in space, she made this 25-minute video — a much more in-depth tour of the ISS than I've personally ever seen before. This is the first time I've actually been able to get a sense of the whole interior layout of the ISS, rather than just seeing one place and then another with no understanding of how they connect. What's more, you really get a sense of the unearthly weirdness of moving through this space where walls are never just walls and "up" and "down" are essentially meaningless.
The video includes a detailed (but safe for work) demonstration of how to use the ISS bathroom; a behind-the-scenes peek of the pantry (with separate pantries for Russian and Japanese food); a visit to the Soyuz craft waiting to take Williams home; and the vertigo-inducing horror pod where all the really great pictures of Earth get taken.
Money quote: "I haven't sat down for 6 months now."
Also, for some reason, it bothers me that she refers to the "left" and "right" side of the Space Station, instead of port and starboard.

Are these the remains of ancient worm holes?
Here's a weird, great geological feature I spotted yesterday while out hiking in rural Oklahoma. We were out in a flat, flat plan that was dotted with a few tall, angular sandstone mounds and narrow sandstone canyons carved out by erosion. This rock was sticking out of the side of one of the mounds. It was the only place we saw anything like these vertical, tube-like structures, which stretched from the ground up to probably about my shoulder.
When I posted this image on Twitter yesterday, several people suggested that the tubes might be skolithos — tube-shaped fossils that were probably made by some kind of ancient worm creature and turn up sometimes in sandstones. While the pictures on Wikipedia don't look very similar to what I saw, there are apparently lots of different forms these things (and similar tube fossils) can take.
Is our solar system missing a planet?
Possibly, according to some scientists who are trying to understand the early days of Sol and friends.
One way that researchers study events like the creation of the solar system is to model what might have happened using computer software. The basic idea works like this: We know a decent amount about the physical laws (like gravity) that govern the creation of planets and the formation of a solar system. So scientists can take those laws, and program them into a virtual universe that also includes other real-world data ... like what we know about the make-up of the Sun and the planets orbiting it. Then, they recreate history. Then they do it again. Over and over and over, thousands of times, the scientists witness the creation of our solar system.
It doesn't happen the same way each time. Just like you can get a very different loaf of bread out of multiple attempts and baking the same general recipe. But those recreations start to give us an idea of which scenarios were more likely to have happened, and why. If our solar system tends to form in one way and resist forming in another, we have a stronger basis for assuming that the former way was more likely to be what really happened.
That's what you're seeing in this study, which Charles Q. Choi writes about for Scientific American.
Computer models showing how our solar system formed suggested the planets once gravitationally slung one another across space, only settling into their current orbits over the course of billions of years. During more than 6,000 simulations of this planetary scattering phase, planetary scientist David Nesvorny at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo., found that a solar system that began with four giant planets [as ours currently has] only had a 2.5 percent chance of leading to the orbits presently seen now. These systems would be too violent in their youth to end up resembling ours, most likely resulting in systems that have less than four giants over time, Nesvorny found.
Instead, a model about 10 times more likely at matching our current solar system began with five giants, including a now lost world comparable in mass to Uranus and Neptune. This extra planet may have been an "ice giant" rich in icy matter just like Uranus and Neptune, Nesvorny explained.
What's up with NASA's warp drive spaceship?
Here's the best way I can sum up this story: Yes, some NASA scientists are working on a design for a warp drive. No, that doesn't mean warp drives are real.
Warp drives — as a purely theoretical thing and/or science-fiction plot device — involve manipulating space-time to allow a spaceship to go faster than the speed of light. It's basically loophole that would allow you to get around those pesky laws of physics. Swiss bank account:taxes::Warp drives:speed of light. You get the picture.
Harold White of NASA's Johnson Space Center is currently leading an effort to design a warp drive space ship. But, as Amy Teitel explains in a story for Vice's Motherboard, the fact that this is happening does not necessarily mean a real working warp drive is possible. It's more about the fact that NASA is partly in the business of letting really smart people try things that are kind of crazy and unlikely, if they can back up the idea with a reasonably plausible hypothesis. Speculative research is a thing that happens.
The problem is that breaking the light barrier isn't at all like breaking the sound barrier. The sound barrier–properly, the aerodynamic effects of pressure waves interacting with a body as it approaches the speed of sound–was broken with a cleverly engineered aircraft and an at-the-time state of the art rocket engine.
Bell's X-1 was, importantly, a physical aircraft made of matter, not made of sound. But the atoms and molecules that make up all matter are connected by electromagnetic fields, and that's the same stuff that light is made of. So when it comes to breaking the light barrier, it's like breaking through light with light (sort of… ask Brian Greene). As NASA poses the question, "How can an object travel faster than that which links its atoms?" It's a very different matter.
Another issue special relativity brings up is the light speed barrier. Moving takes energy, and the faster you move the more energy you use. So, theoretically, to move at the cosmic speed limit of light you need an infinite amount of energy. That's a distinct barrier if there ever was one.
How To: Preserve a bat for museum display
Here's a big difference between nature and a natural history museum: In the wild, when you find a skeleton of anything, it's seldom arranged in a neat, orderly, anatomically correct manner. Even if an animal dies in captivity, nature won't just conveniently produce a skeleton suitable for mounting.
So how do museums get the perfect skeletal specimens that you see behind glass?
The answer: Lots and lots and lots of tedious work. Plus the assistance of a few thousand flesh-eating bugs.
This video from the University of Michigan traces the creation of a bat skeleton, from a fleshy dead bat in a jar, to a neat, little set of bones in a display case. It's painstaking (and moderately disgusting) work. Sort of like building model cars, if the Ford Mustang had realistic organ tissue.

We have the technology to look for life on Mars
The Curiosity rover can do a lot of things, but nobody is expecting her to find direct evidence of life on Mars. In fact, the hunt for life on the Red Planet has been a pretty stunted one. The last time we really looked was during the Viking missions, which tried to find chemical "footprints" that would exist if there had once been life on Mars, but that could end up on that planet for other reasons, as well. What we got back was a less-than-enthralling "Outlook Hazy. Try Again Later."
Ever since, we've contented ourselves with searching for indirect evidence — assessing the planet for signs that it might once have had the conditions necessary for life to happen. That's important, and it will make direct evidence of life more believable if we ever do find it, but it's not quite the same thing.
But now, DNA sequencing tools have become portable enough (and drilling technology has become powerful enough) that some scientists and Craig Ventner think we could send a probe to Mars which could find buried traces of actual DNA protected in the dirt and sequence that DNA on site.
It's also possible that life hitched a ride between Earth and Mars in their early days. Asteroid impacts have sent about a billion tonnes of rock careering between the two planets, potentially carrying DNA or its building blocks. That could mean that any genetic material on Mars is similar enough to DNA that we have a chance of finding it using standard tests.
Even if we don't, we can set up future sequencers to look for molecules that use alternative sugars or chemical letters in the genetic code. "We're not there yet, but it's not a fundamental limitation," says Chris Carr of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who works on the NASA-backed Search for Extraterrestrial Genomes.

You Think You Know Motorhead?
You think you know Motorhead? Check out this video and dig a little deeper into the band's history.
You think you know Motorhead? Check out this video and dig a little deeper into the band's history.
Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister spoke with Full Metal Jackie about his current health status, the band's new album plans and the Motorboat Cruise.
Talk about metal! A German man was left bleeding from the brain after headbanging too hard at a Motorhead show, according to specialists who treated the fan.
The past year has been a rough one for Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, who has dealt with a myriad of health issues. But now in 2014, Motorhead have returned to the stage to promote their well-received 'Aftershock' album.
It's been said that 'Lemmy is God,' and now we may have proof. Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister's face has miraculously appeared on a pancake!
It's been said that 'Lemmy is God,' and now we may have proof. Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister's face has miraculously appeared on a pancake!
Another health-related setback has forced Motorhead to cancel a run of 2014 European tour dates. According to the band, frontman Lemmy Kilmister has been advised by doctors to stay off the road due to issues stemming from diabetes.
We've got a fantastic health update from legendary Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. Having imbibed a tremendous amount of alcohol, cigarettes and speed throughout his career, Lemmy is starting to live a much healthier life. The frontman was forced to step back from his hard-partying ways in 2013 due to serious health issues, and in a new interview, Lemmy discusses the details of his lifestyle change.
Legendary Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister has been battling various health-related issues over the past year, leaving many fans worried about the beloved musician. Conflicting reports on Lemmy's health have been surfacing ever since, and in a new interview, Motorhead manager Todd Singerman has detailed how Lemmy has been "up and down."
With Lemmy Kilmister's health issues, Motorhead have not had much opportunity to promote their excellent 'Aftershock' album, but the rocker says there's still plenty of music left in him, including a solo disc.
Yippie! It might only be Tuesday, but this week is shaping up to be a pretty stellar one so far. It has been a long wait (three years) for Motörhead fans who are used to the band's routine of cranking out a new album at least every two years since 1991. With the release of 'Aftershock' still a week away, fans can rejoice and stream the full album courtesy of Yahoo! Music (listen below).
There's no doubt that Metallica love Motorhead, and now there's some additional video footage to prove it. Back in 1995, the Metallica members, decked out in long black-haired wigs, took the stage at Los Angeles' Whisky-a-Go-Go to play a set of Motorhead songs in honor of Lemmy Kilmister's 50th birthday. Now, the famous venue has just posted video from the performance on YouTube.

Delay may add to cost of bridge repair
Date: May 12, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
County commissioners voted to add up to $103,750 to the contract to repair Blackburn Pont Bridge in Osprey.
The original schedule for the repairs to the 83-year-old bridge called for the work to begin earlier this month, but residents on Casey Key and along Blackburn Point Road asked the county to delay the month-long job until the end of May.
The county rescheduled the commencement date to May 26. With hurricane season beginning June 1, the new schedule puts most of the work during hurricane season.
So, the county's public works department asked commissioners to sign off on an amendment to the work contract to account for the added risk.
The amendment includes $5,000 for a contractor to prepare for a possible storm and an additional $49,375 to secure the bridge during each of up to two storms that might threaten the area.
The revised total cost of the project is now $4.9 million.
The historic swing bridge will have nearly all of its mechanisms repaired or replaced during the work.

Kudzu Festival downtown Oct. 25-27
By SUE WATSON
The Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce hopes to harvest some kudzu money this year by holding its festival in late October in downtown Holly Springs.
It is a first try, a learning experience, according to Ronnie Luther with the chamber.
"There's never been anything like this on the square," he said. "The whole idea is to bring people downtown to revive the square and to raise some money for the Chamber of Commerce.
The 2007 Kudzu Festival, October 25-27, will feature carnival rides, arts and crafts, and a special events stage for gospel music, country music and the blues. A Kansas City sanctioned barbecue cook-off will be part of this year's festival.
Some streets downtown will be blocked off for the evenings and certain streets will be closed to make the area safe for pedestrians and drivers alike, according to police chief Robert Pearson.
Those who work downtown should notice some preparations for the festival when they arrive Monday, October 22. Some parking and traffic lanes around the courthouse will be fenced off during the festival, he said.
Traffic will be two-way on Memphis Street and Van Dorn but one-way on Market Street and East College Avenue. College Avenue will be closed after 5 p.m. each day of the festival.
The inside lane around the courthouse will be blocked all week.
Mesh fencing will be used to surround the carnival and arts and crafts area at the courthouse to make sure children do not run out into traffic. A second area will be cordoned off for barbecue teams and a sound stage in the area of Falconer and to the south of New York Fashions.
Ticket gates will be set up at the entry to the carnival area and to the musical entertainment area.
Parking will not be available inside the festival area so visitors must park around the area on available streets and walk.
The carnival will be open Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 24 and 25, for schools. Armbands for school children are $7 and include unlimited rides. Admission for school groups is free.
The festival officially opens Thursday, Oct. 25, at 5 p.m. with the carnival. The Gospel Jamboree sing-off begins at 6 p.m. inside the special events area. Admission to the Gospel Jamboree is $3. The Brown Singers of Memphis are set to perform, along with local gospel singing groups who will compete for trophies. Groups are encouraged to attend and support your favorite local gospel groups.
Teams gather Friday to set up camp and get the pork over the coals. Judging begins at 11 a.m. Saturday.
Pat Sullivan's country music band is featured on the Budweiser stage at 6 p.m. Friday night, Oct. 26.
Saturday, Oct. 27, is the big day with the carnival and arts and crafts area opening at 9 a.m. A 5K Kudzu Run also begins at 9 a.m. (Call 662-252-1862 to register or go online at and register at www.americanpac.com.
An afternoon and evening of Hill Country Blues begins at 2 p.m. with Gary Burnside and Burnside Exploration taking the stage for two hours. At 4 p.m., Ralph Waller and the Tough Street Band begin a two-hour performance. The Kenny Brown Band takes over at 6 p.m.
The blues heats up at 8 p.m. with David Kimbrough Jr. and his band and the festival is put to bed with Duwayne Burnside and The Mississippi Mafia beginning at 10 p.m.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs to all events. No coolers are allowed inside the event areas. Visitors are asked to patronize vendors who have rented space from the Kudzu Committee.
Admission to the carnival and arts and crafts area is $3 for adults, $2 for children 12- to 17-years of age. Children under 12 are admitted free to the carnival area. Armbands for carnival rides and admission will be sold Thursday and Saturday night for $12. No armbands for the carnival will be sold Friday night.
Admission for musical entertainment costs $8 for Friday and Saturday night. Minors will be admitted to the special events area. Alcohol can be purchased only with the presentation of an I.D. and proof of age 21 or older.
The Holly Springs Police Department and Marshall County Sheriff's Department will provide security.

Forget "Born in the U.S.A."
Here are six songs that will make you proud to be an American as July 4 approaches:
"This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie • With the original 1944 lyrics.
"4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)," Bruce Springsteen • Because of the line: "Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight."
"I'm a Patriot," Steven Van Zandt • Look for Jackson Browne or Pearl Jam's version.
"No More Kings," Schoolhouse Rock • Check out Pavement's rambunctious cover.
"Don't Tread on Me," Metallica • A little bellicose, but what's more American than electric guitars?
"If You're Reading This," Tim McGraw • For all of the soldiers, sailors and Coast Guard personnel out there.

So I've been pumping with my first pump (the Animas Ping) since late afternoon on Friday, making today day #4.
I have to say I'm diggin' the insulin pump! Since hooking up, my blood sugars have been more or less perfect, minus a few (not drastic) lows actually (a few 60's and 70's)My doc has me checking 6 to 8 times a day for the time being.

I hope you find it interesting/helpful.
I have been taking Humalog insulin since last 1 month. I have been avoiding exercise during this time as it may bring my numbers too low. Prior to insulin I used to go to gym or walk for 30 minutes after meals.
I want to achieve a new perfect bg @ 2hrs post meals in 80s. However what I have observed is that it may be 120 or 130 at 2 hour mark. It may be that I ate more than I covered for.
So I just do very little…

It's pretty consistent that I have at least one doctor appointment per week these days. That's how it is when you go so long with type I diabetes and no insurance. When you finally get insurance again, you spend all your time fixing everything that's been falling apart for years.

One would think that since I've been a diabetic for so very long that I would find no trouble in the balancing act that is daily living with this condition. Wrong. Allow me to elaborate:
1. Although I was taught from a young age how to eat healthy, exercise, and take shots, and balance it all so I didn't go too high or too low with my blood glucose levels, I didn't do it. Possessing the knowledge is one thing, putting it to good use is a whole 'nother can o' worms.

Not their favorite food, but they eat 'em
posted 6 years ago
I bought this food because my turtles had almost finished all the krill in their bottle that includes turtle logs, krill and shrimp. It was the only option for buying dried krill without buying all the others too. They eat this brand of krill also, but I don't see that they enjoy it anymore than the previous brand.
Pros: The only dried krill I have found sold without other foods
Cons: ?

Volatile organic compounds: A silent problem
See how your household walls and ceilings may be covertly hurting you.
Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 06:26 PM
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young sang, "Our house is a very, very, very fine house, with two cats in the yard." This is the ideal home for the average person. Things are not quite what they seem, though. While people sleep in their seemingly pefect homes, life-threatening burglars lurk around the house. To many scientists, these dangerous burglars are known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
VOCs are health hazards because of outgassing, the release of entrapped gases in a material. Common household items such as chemical-based cleaners, paint, carpets and some home furnishings can outgas damaging chemicals like formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and "repeat offenders" chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
In high concentrations in small areas (like homes and cars), these chemicals can instigate a plethora of ailments including but not limited to chronic nausea, headaches and organ damage. Additional neurological and psychological conditions can develop in tandem with these problems. Sick building syndrome (SBS) occurs when people begin feeling ill spontaneously when spending time in a certain building.
Aside from the doom and gloom, there are many ways to reduce VOC amounts in homes. Five excellent ways to start are:
- Open windows and/or doors. This allows fresh air to circulate throughout the hallways and corridors and remove these harmful chemicals from indoors.
- Clean all the floors and carpets biweekly. Vacuuming not only removes unsightly stains, but also it eliminates dangerous chemicals and decreases the in-house radioactivity. An efficient and clean vacuum can kill 100 percent of fleas and ticks.
- Use plant-based and biodegradable cleaning agents. Green Works and Seventh Generation are excellent eco-cleaners fit to tackle everything from kitchens to home offices.
- Change in-home air filters every three months. Air filters trap and destroy billions of harmful germs and chemicals every day. Unclean filters fail to eliminate harmful agents.
- Stop using chemical-based air fresheners and pest killers. Bug killers contain extremely harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and nitrogen dioxide. Additionally, the scents last for a short time. Fresh flowers and opening the windows work better.
In terms of eliminating VOCs from household products, the fight continues. Following these tips and others regularly will make a safer, happier and healthier home complete with "two cats in the yard."

A well-thought out article. I have been using the Jolicloud OS since the latest release this week as a standalone OS on my Samsung Netbook. Whilst the Jolibook is set to polarise opinion due to the construction and the lid, don't forget you can refresh your old laptop (or even your new netbook) just with a Jolicloud install!
I confess that I did fall in love with Jolicloud – and would have loved to have been able to use the Jolibook as my "road" netbook (schleping a 17″ MacBook Pro around isn't a lot of fun) but there are internal WSJ reasons I can't do that.
It's a great OS – and not a bad netbook.
