EMMA POLLOCK - Limbs lyrics
2008-02-10 12:22:00
Dancing in the deep, Her body Strengthens in a way, We don’t see In you and me These limbs They can take you higher They can take you higher Tailored by the moons, She mates so well Perfected by the symmetry, Her body tells Just you wait and see These limbs They can take you higher They can take you higher Sitting by the bed, I can see through her skin She can hardly breathe a word, Her body is so thin But I can still see These limbs They can break like branches They can break like branches
Your Limbs Are Belong to Us: SF's Future
2008-02-08 05:27:00
Long long ago in a place somewhat similar to today, with technology not quite like it is now, but with minds exploring the unimaginable bounds of space, human intelligence, and technology itself, someone came up with the brilliant idea of 'robotic' prosthetic limbs. Probably the iconic example is Luke Skywalker, who loses his hand in a brilliantly dark and emotionally complex scene with his would-be father slash evil right hand of the Emperor. We remember the end of Empire Strikes Back as Lando Calrissian and Chewie prepare to shoot off into a galactic spacescape to save Han Solo that our hero Luke Skywalker has been given a new hand filled with mechanical joints and gizmos and feeling. Literally a replacement for his former hand that is just about as good as the last, or maybe better.Well that 'future' is becoming a reality. Futurismic brought an interesting article to me through their RSS feed that talks about a prosthetic limb that can sense touch and heat. Nothing there...
Twin Girl with Eight Limbs in India
2008-02-01 07:47:00
A toddler born with eight limbs and believed by some to be the reincarnation of the multi-limbed Hindu goddess Vishnu, is set to undergo a 40-hour operation to remove half of her limbs.Lakshmi Tatma was born joined to a 'parasitic twin' and will go under the knife at the hands of 30 surgeons to remove two of her useless arms and legs. Torment: Lakshmi can not walk or crawl and is unlikely to survive her teens without surgeryThe headless 'twin' is joined to Lakshmi at the pelvis and has its own spinal column and kidney. Without the operation the little girl would never be able to walk or crawl and would be unlikely to live past her early teens, doctors said.The extraordinary eight-limbed baby was born in a poverty-stricken region of Bihar, India - on the day devoted to the celebration of the four-armed Hindu deity Vishnu. Fused: Lakshmi's body is joined with the parasitical twin which is attached to her body at her pelvis Her mother Poonam Tatma said she believed ...
Why do amputees feel sensation in missing limbs?
2008-01-04 17:30:00
The strange phenomenon of "phantom limb" is apparently related to an image of the body that persists after the limb or the use of it has been lost. In many cases, the image of the functioning limb has been stored in the brain since early childhood. Almost every amputee has "felt" pressure in a missing arm or leg when it is actually the stump that is being touched. Many amputees feel a persistent mild tingling in the lost limb; others may feel severe pain. Usually the problem disappears over time as the patient corrects his or her body image, but sometimes it becomes so annoying that psychotherapy is needed.One woman felt that the fingers of her missing hand were digging into its palm. Finally she came to believe that she could open her clenched fist and the pain disappeared.If a person is born with a missing limb or loses a limb early in childhood, there is usually no phantom limb effect, presumably because the image of the whole body has not yet been imprinted on the brain.

From Eight Limbs to Four: A Toddler's Transformation Brings Many Blessings
2007-11-13 01:06:00
Petite, two-year-old, gorgeous toddler, Lakshmi Tatma looks like other children from the waist up. Okay, maybe she's a little cuter than is fair, but blessings sometimes come in odd packages. Lakshmi, as you may have heard, was born with parts of a parasitic twin attached to her pelvis. Born into a Hindu culture that worships the many-limbed deity, Vishnu, it seems natural that local villagers would wonder if she were the reincarnation of the true goddess.Although it might have been tempting for the Tatma family to revel in the goddess status of their little girl, the bad news was that her chances of living beyond adolescence in her condition were slim.When I first heard about the story, I hoped her parents would not choose the route of glory but would put their girl first. And blessedly, they did. Even a wealthy family, however, could not have afforded the extensive surgeries that doctors said would be necessary to transform Lakshmi from an eight-limbed child into a four-limbed on...

Rosie O?Donnell used to break her own limbs with a baseball bat. Unfortunat
2007-09-13 07:29:00
According to her new book entitled “Celebrity Detox”, Rosie O’Donnell used to break her own limbs with a wooden baseball bat. Apparently she missed her face, head, and any other part that might have saved the general public from years of her inane babbling. From The Insider: Among the hot topics that Rosie delves into is her painful childhood secret. She writes that as a child, she used to break her own limbs with “a baseball bat” or a “wooden hanger.” On page 186, it reads: “My hands and fingers usually. No one knew. My secret.” Why? “Proof,” she writes, “that I had some value, enough to be fixed.” And later, Rosie cryptically adds, “There were many benefits to having a cast. In the middle of the night, it was a weapon.” So to sum this all up: on top of being a controversial lesbian fatass, Rosie’s also an emo. Wow. Now you’ll know what happened if you see her on TV sporting a...

God Gives Man the Ability to Create Artificial Limbs
2007-07-19 14:00:00
It appears that some would have us believe that since our human limbs do not automatically regenerate themselves if severed from our bodies, or grow later if we are born without them, that this may be used as a proof there is no God, or that He is not all powerful, or that He isn?t loving.I received the following post:?Beast,Science beats religion again:http://www.theage.com.au/-news/world/scientists-give-a-he-lping-hand/2007/07/19/118455990-4090.html Scientists invent most realistic replacement limb yet. And Tim, before you go saying "yes but god did that through them", then answer me why god has let all of the amputees to date suffer until now? Why not inspire someone to build this limb when the first arm was lost?? [MB]In response to another comment given:?"With God all things are possible".Alright then.

Mont Blanc Pope Benedict XVI is not the first Pontiff to have published a book whilst Pontiff.In 1923, Pope Pius XI (Achille Ratti) published Climbs on Alpine Peaks. As a young man, he had been an expert mountaineer and alpinist.

Today the route is known as the "Via Ratti - Grasselli".He made his last climb in 1913.However he was always and remained a member of the Club Alpino Italiano and often contributed articles for Club publications.In Britain, there is a mountaineering club called The Achille Ratti Climbing Club
