"Drilling" For Common Sense On Energy In Bucks
2008-08-12 20:55:00 I haven?t had much to say about Bucks County Courier Times columnist J.D. Mullane for some time because he?s largely confined his wingnuttery to his blog, which is something I don?t care to discuss at this moment because I?m eating my lunch.However, in his column today, he takes note of Patrick Murphy?s appearance at the Lower Makefield, PA Farmer?s Market last Thursday, in which Patrick judged the ?Great Zucchini Race??Just before the zucchinis zoomed down a 12-foot plywood track, a half-dozen protesters closed in on Murphy, holding signs that criticized him and his Democratic Party on oil, drilling and energy.Murphy, with his 150-watt smile, largely ignored them. Afterward, glancing at the sign-holders, he said with a shrug, ?That's politics.?And by the way, it should be noted that, since they disagreed with the Democrats, these were ?good? protestors as far as J.D. is concerned, not ?hippies? opposing the Iraq war who should be tear gassed, as Mullane called for here.And where e...
Anal HPV common in Heterosexual men
2008-07-21 19:44:00 This article is an important one for the men I talk about on this blog.These men are most likely getting Anal HPV because they are on the down low and having sex with other men.This Reuters Health, July 2008 is proof that these men exist._________________________-_______________________________-________Anal HPV common in hetero menLast updated: Monday, July 21, 2008Roughly one in four heterosexual men have anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and, in many cases, a cancer-causing type of the sexually transmitted wart virus is present, a study shows.Certain strains of HPV, which can be transmitted from male to female partners, are responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.

Hearing loss is common in people with diabetes
2008-07-15 05:46:00 Hearing loss is about twice as common in adults with diabetes in comparison to those who do not have the disease, as per a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). "Hearing loss may be an under-recognized complication of diabetes. As diabetes becomes more common, the disease may become a more significant contributor to hearing loss," said senior author Catherine Cowie, Ph.D., of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), who suggested that people with diabetes should consider having their hearing tested. "Our study found a strong and consistent link between hearing impairment and diabetes using many different outcomes.".......

These are some of the common things most abusers say
2008-06-14 20:42:00 I was reading today, and I found a blog called, My Quest My Identity? Empowering Woman.. It speaks of patterns of Emotional Abuse, Verbal Abuse, and Physical Abuse within relationshipsThe blogger has some very good information on the blog about domestic violence.One of the things that I remember in my own journey to recognize the emotional abuse, and I see with so many others the reality that abusive people seem to say the same things. Its like they can some type of script they all use, and that is sign of emotional verbal abuse. Some victims feel they are the only ones that hear this type of thing, and when they hear what others have to say about their abuser's talk...they look at each other and say, "Are you married to the same person?"I'm not going to say they are all the same, because some have slightly different signs of emotional abuse. That was one of the excuses I gave myself when I didn't wish to face what was happening to me. I remember reading Patricia Evan's '...

Common Diseases: How to Treat and even Prevent with Alkaline Water!
2008-06-09 14:52:00 The Japanese claim that one of the underlying causes of adult diseases is the accumulation of acids in our body. In order for a treatment to be effective it must remove these excess acids from the system, otherwise the treatment will only offer a temporary cure. It is for this reason that medical science is rather poor when it comes to curing adult diseases.* To help our bodies rid of these acid wastes it's imperative to decrease our intake of acidic foods and drinks and increase our consumption of alkaline foods and drinks. This including drinking plenty of alkaline water. Using a water ionizer is a convenient way to convert tap water to strong alkaline water with a high pH. As our body is made up of 70% water, alkaline water will help flush out acid wastes which can lead to disease. The diseases discussed below are what Japanese doctors have treated and cured in Japan by means of Alkaline Water and/or elimination of toxins and wastes.* 1. Cancer Much research has been done in...

Web Bloopers: 60 Common Web Design Mistakes, and How to Avoid Them
2008-06-03 15:45:00 The dot.com crash of 2000 was a wake-up call, and told us that the Web has far to go before achieving the acceptance predicted for it in '95. A large part of what is missing is quality; a primary component of the missing quality is usability. The Web is not nearly as easy to use as it needs to be for the average person to rely on it for everyday information, commerce, and entertainment.In response to strong feedback from readers of GUI BLOOPERS calling for a book devoted exclusively to Web design bloopers, Jeff Johnson calls attention to the most frequently occurring and annoying design bloopers from real web sites he has worked on or researched.

Five Common Myths About Life Insurance
2008-06-03 09:23:00 The majority of American households do have some variety of life insurance. But some of us understand how to get the most out of it. Five of the most damaging myths that lead to costly life insurance mistakes... Myth 1: I just need enough life insurance to cover my family's future expenses. Fact: If you really want to provide for your family's well-being, you'll need more than that. The good news is that this extra coverage won't set you back as much as you might think. A typical family should combine the remaining portion of its mortgage ... projected inflation-adjusted annual living expenses for the remainder of the spouse's life ... and college costs if they are a factor (assuming that costs will rise by 3% to 5% per year) to determine the amount the family needs to get by. Subtract the amount the surviving spouse will earn if he/she expects to return to the workforce at some point. Example: A 40-year-old man who's in good health would pay about $875 a year for a simple 20-...

5 Common Reasons you Don?t Get Traffic Love
2008-06-02 19:12:00 Everyone knows that search engines are a great and effective way to drive traffic to your site. Thus, a lot of websites, blogs, e-books, podcasts, and what-not are all dedicated to this topic. But there inevitably will be web masters who will complain that they are not getting any visitors from search engines. This can be caused by a variety of factors but some of the common reasons I observed include: 1. Newly Launched Website ? new websites will initially not perform will with search engines. This is most likely because most of the 30 billion+ web pages on the internet are comprised of spam. Before search engines start to rank your site well, they need to establish a certain level of trust which can only grow over time as you build content, links, and traffic. 2. Content Unworthy of Attention ? it does not matter if you have a great website; it won’t do you much good if you don’t have high quality and informative content that site visitors are looking for. ...

As for applications, you can play music from your itunes library with forks and spoons, you can write am email by composing with color pens, e.g. a red pen on the Amphibian scale and you say "I miss you!".

I do believe both groups are led by ayatollahs and the Brethren issue fatwas too.
