clipper's remarks: what is the justification for the genetic diseases and disorders in God's world? What wrong the child has done, except being born to someone with diseases and illness? What kind of a system is this? Why there is no cure for such diseases?

She had taken out the bottle of her pills! She is suffering from a worst kind of an inherited disease! She was wondering the billionth time as to what right the parents has got to pass on such diseases to their children? What kind of a system this is in the God's world?

She is on medication for a long time now and still the pain walks through her, killing her body and the spirit, making her to kneel in front it, begging for forgiveness and kindness! It just bounces on her unannounced and it possesses her like a demon! She becomes invalid when the pain kills her from inside! A hundred doctors can never cure her but still they give her the medications! There are more medicines in her cupboards now, than in the entire shop of a chemist!

She took yet another set of medication and was sitting, waiting for the pain to go away

waiting for the pain to move away

for a short while, she shall become normal again!

Canada Defiles an Astronomical Treasure

That man you see in the photograph above is an international treasure. Under that rejected humble facade is none other than Charles Thomas Bolton who will one day be seen as one of the great astronomers of all time. He was THE first man to discover a black hole:

"In 1972, Bolton made a discovery in astronomy that was so important it guaranteed him a place in the history books: he was the first astronomer to present irrefutable evidence of the existence of a black hole. The black hole in question was Cygnus X-1, which lies at the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Bolton detected its presence by observing star HDE 226868 wobble as if it was orbiting around an invisible but massive companion. His calculations demonstrated that the companion could be nothing less than a black hole."

crying on the steps of his observatory? After 73 years the University of Toronto sent Bolton an email informing him that he had 10 days to get get off the premises

Courtesy of Deadspin comes this video of Denis Leary's guest broadcasting stint at the Red Sox game.

Upon hearing that Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis is Jewish Leary goes on a hilarious anti-Mel tear. Watch till the end for the second eruption...

The Sox announcer says: "I hope Mel Gibson doesn't come into this park... we'll run him outta here on a rail."

After making a nice play at first, Leary shouts: "Where's mel gibson now?! Where's mel gibson now?! He's in rehab and Youkilis is at first base."

Foremost Irish Singer/Songwriter DIES. Read of an exception life

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:13:39 GMT

clipped by: righthand
clipper's remarks: This was an exceptional Man. He left school at 11.5 years. He was severely dyslexic. He could not READ nor WRITE with difficulty signing his name. Despite this, he was an exceptionally talented song writer. He had a most unusual voice and was best in duets particularly with his daughter.

It was while working as a labourer that he came in contact with asbestos that has now killed him 35 years later. He knew he was dying but thought he had longer.

Please go into his site and hear his new single for a flavour of how much poorer we are for his passing. If sufficient interest is shown, I'll post further clips on Christie.

82-Year-Old American Woman Frees Child Slaves In Nepal

Olga Murray laughs when she's called a modern-day abolitionist. It is, however, a fair description.

This 82-year-old retired lawyer from California now spends half of her time living in Katmandu, Nepal, where she works to free child slaves.

With her silver hair and fair skin, Murray stands out in Nepal, a poor, landlocked country sandwiched between China and India. With remarkable ease she navigates the chaotic streets of the capital, where painted yogis and sacred cows are common sights.

She is no tourist. She and her organization, Friends of Needy Children, have come up with a remarkably simple and successful method of liberating hundreds of young, female slaves.

When asked why parents would sell their children, Murray explained, "It's not because they don't love them. It's like they have no choice. Sometimes it's a choice between selling their girl … and feeding the rest of their family."

the girls, known as "kamlaris," are forced to do housework.

Debate on Messiah and Origins of Christianity

Tablet Ignites Debate on Messiah and Resurrection

JERUSALEM — A three-foot-tall tablet with 87 lines of Hebrew that scholars believe dates from the decades just before the birth of Jesus is causing a quiet stir in biblical and archaeological circles, especially because it may speak of a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days.

If such a messianic description really is there, it will contribute to a developing re-evaluation of both popular and scholarly views of Jesus, since it suggests that the story of his death and resurrection was not unique but part of a recognized Jewish tradition at the time.

The tablet, probably found near the Dead Sea in Jordan according to some scholars who have studied it, is a rare example of a stone with ink writings from that era — in essence, a Dead Sea Scroll on stone.

Article 2 of the bill lists the crimes that are already subject to the death penalty, including armed robbery, rape and creating prostitution networks. If the law is adopted, “the creation of blogs and websites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy” will also become capital crimes.
