That’s the premise of a new card game on display as part of the Talk to Me exhibit which opened at MOMA this week. Players send in swabs of saliva; the designers send it out to be analyzed and then generate a customized 50-card deck from each player’s specific DNA…The deck allows players to become shadow versions of themselves, with all their genetic cards on the table, and in the game, as in reality, life depends on how the cards are played, not on which cards are dealt. The effects of any trait depend (more…) *This blog post was originally published at The Blog That Ate Manhattan* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5103341 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 12:00:04 +0100 5103341 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2353791&cid=t_195278_87_f&fid=34595&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnhsblogdoc.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F04%2Fwhat-is-wrong-with-gordon-brown.html This video is doing the rounds at the moment. It was recommended to me by my ageing Greek friend but it was probably Fraser Nelson in The Spectator who first commented on it.I would recommend watching it with the sound turned off at first. Concentrate on the facial expressions. Then take a look at Fraser Nelson's analysis, and watch it again. Look for the COMIC PAUSE, the VANISHING GRIN, THE SHOULDER SHIMMY, the HAND PUSH, and the POWER SHRUG in which the arms and hands join the shoulders in an upward burst.  And there is lots more. My particular favourite is the facial expression at 1.57 before he steels himself to say the dreaded words "Harriet Harman".  You are more likely to hear an actor naming the Scottish Play.Maybe this new, "improved" Gordon Brown was designed by Damien McBride'...

The whole house is strewn with pine needles, bits of fir cones and general sparkly detritus of moulting baubles. The children entertain themselves with popping bubble wrap amid much chortling. Layers of tissue paper later I have cause to be considerably miffed:-“Look at that! It’s ruined.”“Hmm looks like it’s melted.”“Of course it’s melted. Look at it!”“Must be been jolly hot in the attic this summer.”“Now there’s an understatement. What are we going to do with it now?”“What do you want to do with it?”“!”“I wonder what temperature it has to be to melt and fuse candles?”“Frankly I couldn’t give a monkeys.” I blow my nose and take a breath in-between hacking coughs. “Maybe...

Charlie loves to be outside and to be able to go in and out as he will and we, of course, need to keep track of where he is. If your living space can’t be livable for your family—and in our family, a peaceful easy-feeling boy means peaceful easy-feeling parents. The Foote family of Paynesville, Minnesota, has been told by Stearns County officials that the deck where their 5-year-old son Alex, loves to play, must be taken down because it was built without a permit. WCCO reports: “You hear him out here like with his little squir...

Check. Camera? Check. Scalpel????? Um huh, I said scalpel. Check! Very cool indeed. A Cambridge surgeon, Francis Wells, provided entertainment to over 200 members of the public via the operating room. This really is neat! Dr. Wells talked the audience through the procedure and fielded questions about open heart surgery and valve repairs along the way. When you think about it, this is a much easier way to “teach” about surgical procedures and medical treatments. A normal OR can only handle two dozen or so professionals that cram as close as they can to the ledge of the observation deck. I know personally, it was always much easier to pick up technique and sequencing when I was up close and personal during surgical procedures. There were no issues finding volunteers for t...
