While the earthquake did massive damage, the ensuing tsunami completely decimated coastal Japanese towns. The scary thing was the speed of the water as it encroached onto flat land and through city streets. The water had an almost eerie seductiveness. It came on slowly at first and then just seemed to explode. Instead of huge tidal waves, the water rose from the bottom almost invisibly. I cannot imagine what those people must be going through. Everything they had has been washed away. And now the nuclear reactors are spewing radioactivity. It’s like a Hollywood disaster movie gone bad. When I was a kid, growing up in California, we used to worry about a massive earthquake and...

She has written two books that I often recommend to my clients: Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay and Women and Love. They are easy reads, full of compassion and insight. As I contemplated writing a post about how couples become vulnerable to affairs I read this interview of Ms. Kirshenbaum where she really says it all: Is Your Partner Cheating on You? on Mira’s blog. Here she talks not only about real risk factors, she also rules out signs that could be misread. In other words, not all suspicious signs point to an affair. “…it’s not so much about warning signs. It’s about risk factors. And if you know what the risk factors are, you can do something about them and have a better relationship to boot…&#...

But there is no acknowledgment that the "news" was pure junk. Just the statement: This page cannot be foundThat is utterly inadequate. The story was linked on the Drudge Report for awhile, meaning it might have been accessed by millions of people. (When I last checked, it remains on the MSNBC site.)It seems to me that the media--Drudge included--have a duty to formally retract a bogus story, not just make it disappear. The fact that they may be utterly embarrassed for running it does not excuse this duty to the public.Is it any wonder the public is fast losing confidence in the MSM? I sure have.

Quake Catcher Network is a scheme using the accelerometers in laptops to sense earthquakes, and then relay that information to Stanford University. The central server can then alert other people in the area, but the scheme is really to track quakes. The scheme itself has a homepage at http://qcn.stanford.edu/ (Source: Browsing) Browsing blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1362341 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:00:00 +0100 1362341 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1098841&cid=t_147774_133_f&fid=35129&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwhitterer-autism.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F12%2Fi-hear-thunder.html A drastic change in diet can often bring with it, some dramatic changes in disposition. In my son’s case, his disposition hasn’t so much changed, as been restored, and not by diet but my medication. His anger has been dispelled, but the pills have cast a spell over his digestive system. There’s no beating about the bush here, we are constantly assaulted by grievous frequent flatulence. Sometimes he tells us in advance, so that we can practice our ‘duck and cover’ skills. At other times the bombs come without a health warning. So much depends upon how in tune we are with our bodies and the surrounding environment. All too often we hear tales of how a sixth sense is at work in some individuals. These people, and often animals, are so highly attenuated that they are able to detect a...

I do not. There are many purposes for teeth, most commonly to assist in the task of eating, but some purposes should be banned. One of those purposes would be using your teeth to help you open things, such as packets and packaging. Who wants to be handed an open package all covered in someone else’s spittle? I can do without that kind of help. It’s a filthy habit. It’s a dangerous habit, you could hurt your teeth, or your jaw, or accidentally swallow the chard that your teeth have shreded. No. I’m sorry, but that’s one function that should be strictly off limits. I cannot imagine where anyone would acquire this deviant habit from, as I certainly do not qualify as a model in this particular department. Even though my teeth do join now, they haven’t for the la... Whitterer on Autism blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=880242 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:29:00 +0100 880242
