I publish it here not to say that all your problems are actually blessings. But what can often seem like a misfortune can turn into a very good thing. I’ve seen this happen lately and it gives me hope that there’s more lemonade ahead for me. The Old Man and his Horse (a.k.a. Sai Weng Shi Ma) Once there was an old man who lived in a tiny village. Although poor, he was envied by all, for he owned a beautiful white horse. Even the king coveted his treasure. A horse like this had never been seen before — such was its splendor, its majesty, its strength. People offered fabulous prices for the steed, but the old man always refused. “This ho...

If you’re not familiar with The Chaser’s War on Everything, check it out. Sort of the Aussie version of The Daily Show. Bedazzled, written by and starring Dudley Moore as a lovestruck short-order cook and Peter Cook as Satan, retells the legend of Faust. The film was released in 1967, but it still blows the remake away.

While we have a huge investment in this proprietary technology, it is so revolutionary we are compelled to share it with the community.  Your feedback is greatly desired: http://shurl.net/ch8 (Source: Candid CIO) Candid CIO blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2314685 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:01:35 +0100 2314685 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1344199&cid=t_130594_87_f&fid=34872&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthbolt.net%2F2008%2F04%2F01%2Fits-april-fools-day-did-you-get-anyone%2F With April Fool’s Day coming to a close, I’m dying to know if you “got” anyone today. Did you deliver the ultimate prank (Hey honey, I guess that vasectomy didn’t work so well after all), or did you just lightly yank someone’s chain (Damn! There’s no coffee left. Oh, I guess there is. April Fools!)? Today, we fooled the kids into looking for a rare pink bunny in the yard. They returned the prankish favor by pretending to drop the hamster down the stairs. Funny. Oddly enough, research shows that pranks can actually be good for us socially, assuming we keep our fooling above-board (and legal). In fact, many groups such as police officers, firefighters and the likes often have “initiation” pranks, which are both a rite of passage for the ...

Today is the first day of April, which is Autism Awareness Month (and tomorrow, April 2nd, is World Autism Day). Allow me then to echo Cohen’s words to start off the month: My son, our children, are “most precious, most perfect.” Guaranteed no April foolin’ you on this one.

Baron-Cohen and his team studied the incidence of autism and autistic spectrum disorders among some 12,000 children at primary school in Cambridgeshire between 2001 and 2004. He was so concerned by the one in 58 figure that last year he proposed informing public health officials in the county.
