Sex and drugs – a cool lifestyle or your death sentence?

Just about everyone has tried some kind of drugs in their life. Consuming drugs at the weekends, or even taking some drugs at home every day has unfortunately become something very normal. Although drugs can help you to loose shyness and fear and feel free at parties regarding sexual behaviour, they have a real negative influence. Also, the stimulating effects of drugs have their limits and each kind of drug abuse can put you straight on the highway to hell. So, be aware of that!

Marihuana, cocaine, hashish, amphetamines, heroin, ecstasy, alcohol…the list of different types of drugs is already known, but not so the negative effects they have on our sex life. First you smoke a joint and have a beer in a relaxing atmosphere at home, then you go for some drinks with your friends in a pub and later you’ll end up in a club or a discotheque.

Brilliant Beck: Catches Acorn LYING AGAIN

ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis is a liar, perhaps even a pathological liar.

She lies about ACORN’s track record, its budget, its size, voter fraud, and so many other things.

Glenn Beck nailed her on yet another lie — and it’s a big one.

As Lewis praised the sham so-called audit by ACORN ally Scott Harshbarger the other day, she forgot a key statement that Harshbarger used in the report that supposedly cleared ACORN with respect to the underage illegal alien sex videos.

Harshbarger went to great pains to argue in a lawyerly way that ACORN Housing was totally and completely legally separate and independent from ACORN, that is, the secretive, non-tax-exempt lead entity that heads the ACORN network.

He also went to an effort to point out that as chief organizer (CEO) of ACORN Bertha Lewis has no authority over ACORN Housing, something those of us who study ACORN know is wholly untrue.

Expect the lying to continue and to intensify.

Henry's Brain Lives On

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 04:19:02 GMT

clipper's remarks: "Last week, a year after Molaison's death, Annese and his team began cutting the brain into thousands of slices, the first phase of a project that will use new technology to preserve the 83-year-old brain.

The work will produce both highly magnified images of the brain that will be available on the Internet and a collection of tissue slices that can be used by researchers worldwide. It will offer a digital map of Molaison's brain in extremely fine detail, a way to re-examine theories based on examinations of him in life, perhaps leading to new insights into the mind responsible for so much of what we know about memory."

Henry Molaison lived in relative obscurity, but he possessed one of the world's most famous brains.

Molaison, who was born in 1926, was a smart, technically minded man. But from childhood, he was plagued by seizures, and as he grew older, the seizures and medications he took for them interfered with his life.

The surgery was meant to help. It was performed in 1953 by Dr. William Beecher Scoville, an internationally known expert in lobotomies

The operation reduced Molaison's seizures. But it also left him unable to remember anything new for more than about 20 seconds.

It was a life-changing event for Molaison and, for scientists, a remarkable opportunity.

Gabrieli described the project as a "beautiful legacy."

In one sense his life got taken away from him in the surgery, inadvertently

The idea that his brain would be visible to all these scientists, so people can possibly learn from that information, is sort of fantastic to the field

Geography of a Recession

clipper's remarks: According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 31 million people currently unemployed -- that's including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession," as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the U.S. economy from January 2007 -- approximately one year before the start of the recession -- to the most recent unemployment data available today.

mystery spiral appears over Norway

Mystery Spiral Appears Over Norway

Norway often has strange lights dancing around the night sky, but early this morning it wasn't the aurora that captivated many eyewitnesses in the north of the country. A giant spiral had appeared, and so far there's little explanation as to what might have caused the phenomenon.

"It consisted initially of a green beam of light similar in color to the aurora with a mysterious rotating spiral at one end," said Nick Banbury of Harstad, Norway. "This spiral then got bigger and bigger until it turned into a huge halo in the sky with the green beam extending down to the earth.

"According to the press, this could be seen all over northern Norway and must therefore have been very high up in the atmosphere to be seen hundreds of km apart."

Conspiracies to one side, there's actually a potentially mundane answer to the whole thing, although it's still pretty interesting.

Manufactured Global "Consensus"

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:41:59 GMT

clipper's remarks: Finally, the pretense of 'a consensus of scientists' about the 'reality' of 'global warming' is the very underpinning of the myth, a commodity manufactured by mediocre scientists most often associated with State or UN 'services', and marketed by globalized media-chains and unethical mainstream peer-reviewed magazines such as Science.

Clip Source: www.aetherometry.com

One may ask, why was the global warming myth chosen to promote the new doctrine of globalization?

because climate is changing on a planetarian scale

Few scientists would dispute the fact of a climatic change.

Just what it is and what causes it, is the problem.

1. First of all, there is no real scientific evidence that demonstrates that the Earth has been warming over the past 100 years -

There is evidence

of intradecadal and supradecadal warming and cooling, but no data that can even be formulated

with any legitimacy

2. The main effect of man-made pollution is not 'global warming' but a complex alteration of atmospheric chemistry and energy conversion processes

3. The role of carbon dioxide in warming the atmosphere has been overestimated

4. Instead of asking for more political and policial powers for national and supranational State structures,

to protect us, society should be fostering and encouraging real scientific research in alternative energy systems and non-mainstream basic physics.

Diane Francis, Canadian lunatic, calls for a "GLOBAL ONE CHILD POLICY, LIKE CHINA'S"

clipper's remarks: holy crap.

Clip Source: www.financialpost.com

The "inconvenient truth" overhanging the UN's Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.

A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.

The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.

Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.

The intelligence behind this is the following:

Obama 50% and dropping, George W Bush 44% and rising

clipper's remarks: Incredible......

Clip Source: www.politico.com

Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that's somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country's difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. The closeness in the Obama/Bush numbers also has implications for the 2010 elections. Using the Bush card may not be particularly effective for Democrats anymore, which is good news generally for Republicans and especially ones like Rob Portman who are running for office and have close ties to the former President.

How the Mysterious Giant Spiral Happened. Sorry people, no alien invasions. Yet.

It wasn't the fury of Thor or an alien portal or the Second Coming of Hey-Zeus. Here you have the explanation of the mysterious giant spiral that happened yesternight in Norway, computer simulation included.

[Video]

The video shows a rocket running out of fuel and spiraling out of control, which looks exactly like the photos and videos.

Clip Source: gizmodo.com

Norwegian astronomer Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard says it's 99.9% safe to say that it's a rocket out of control, while some newspapers and TV channels are quoting Russian military sources, confirming that this is a failed Bulava missile launched from a nuclear submarine in the White Sea.

The Norwegian defense has confirmed that, even while they have not admitted the failure, the Russian Navy alerted them about the tests prior to the giant spiral appearing in the skies. And if that wasn't enough to convince everyone, here are two images of the missile trails being blown away by the wind, at dawn:

Environmentalists seek to wipe out soft toilet paper - or at least put the skids to it

"They'll take my Ultra Soft Charmin only when they pry it from my cold, dead, aloe-smelling hands."

So Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental groups have pushed manufacturers such as Kimberly-Clark (Cottonelle) and Procter & Gamble (Charmin) to stop using wood from virgin forests to make tissue products.

Environmentalists said other countries — particularly in South America, Africa and Asia — seem to be OK with "soft enough."

Greenpeace has come up with a "toilet paper guide," which looks at recycled content and the use of chlorine bleaches.

Probably no surprise that brands with names such as Green Forest, 365, Earth Friendly, Natural Value and Seventh Generation scored the highest on the Greenpeace scale.

Bringing up the rear: Charmin, Cottonelle, Angel Soft and, of course, Quilted Northern, which sounds thick enough to keep someone warm on a cold night in Minnesota.

Obama Steals Bush’s Speechwriters

If you closed your eyes during much of the President’s speech on Afghanistan Tuesday night and just listened to the words, you easily could have concluded that George W. Bush was still in the Oval Office.

Or, at the very least, that Obama had stolen his speechwriters.

Because, like Bush, Obama had barely cleared his throat when out came the first mention of September 11, along with the Bushian line: “We did not ask for this fight.”

Shut down Ohio's machinery of death

After a botched attempt to execute a prisoner in the US state of Ohio in September caused international outrage, you might have thought Ohio would hesitate before pressing ahead with another execution. Not a bit of it.

The US state that condemned Edinburgh's Kenny Richey to die and came desperately close to killing him is unfazed that its prison staff subjected an inmate called Romell Broom to a two-hour ordeal where they repeatedly shoved a lethal injection needle into various parts of his body – thigh, ankle, feet, muscles and bone. They've done it again, only this time piloting a new lethal injection on a death row inmate called Kenneth Biros, someone I've written to for many years.

Ohio's killing machinery is not fit even for its already macabre purpose. Year after year Ohio botches executions

It's time for Ohio to shut down the machinery of death. And it's time the US came into the modern world and ended the grisly, inhuman business of warehousing people for death

Spiral UFO puts Norway in a spin

clipper's remarks: What is it???

Clip Source: www.thesun.co.uk

A MYSTERIOUS giant spiral of light that dominated the sky over Norway this morning has stunned experts — who believe the space spectacle is an entirely new astral phenomenon.

Thousands of awe-struck Norwegians bombarded the Meteorological Institute to ask what the incredible light — that could be seen in the pre-dawn sky for hundreds of miles — could possibly be.

The phenomenon has been dubbed 'Star-Gate' — as the world's top scientists and the military lined up to admit they were baffled.

Theories ranging from a misfired Russian missile, meteor fireball, never-before-seen type of northern light, 'black hole' and even alien activity were all proposed.

Witnesses across Norway, who first glimpsed the space show at 8.45am, all described seeing a spinning 'Catherine wheel-style' spiral of white light, centred around a bright moon-like star.

A blue "streaming tail" appeared to anchor the spiral to earth, before the light "exploded" into a rotating ring of white fire.

A 100-year-old pedophile has been released from prison in the U.S. despite fears he is still an "active threat" to children, Sky News reported.

Residents say the sex offender should spend the rest of his life behind bars, and fear he will prey on youngsters in the area.

"I want him away from society as long as possible," Erie County district attorney Frank Sedita told wgrz.com.

"It doesn't matter to me that he's 100-years-old. He's evil. He's a pedophile. Pedophiles are the worst."

Sypnier was charged in 1999 with raping two young sisters, who were aged four and seven at the time.
