clipper's remarks: "Most surprising is that fact that background push notification is absent in beta 1 builds. The feature was promised for September but was pushed back according to an email purportedly from Steve Jobs that said: “We want to get it 100% right the first time.”

Even worse. No copy and paste."

iPhone software 2.2 beta sports UI tweaks; no push

A couple of details have begun to trickle out about iPhone 2.2, the next revision to the iPhone/iPod touch software. According to a piece at AppleInsider, Apple has released beta 1 of firmware 2.2 to developers that features a number of small UI tweaks.

Some naughty developer must have violated their Apple NDA agreement – tsk, tsk.

The Google search field in mobile Safari has been moved to the immediate right of the address bar (pictured). Currently you need to tap the address bar to bring up the Google search field.

Apple has also re-organized the App Store slightly with large category icons. They also made the “Tell a Friend” option more prominent and added an equally prominent “Report a Problem” button – presumably to report tethering and flatulence applications that slip through Apple’s screening process.

OOPS! Gas Home Remedy

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:12:35 GMT

clipped by: jimmy123
clipper's remarks: Gas Definition
All people have gas; it is natural and resulted by swallowing air and normal breakdown of certain indigested food by harmless bacteria.
The frequent belching of the gas comes out by burping or passing it through the rectum. Most people pass gas about 14 times a day, the gas is made primarily of odorless vapor. The unpleasant odor of flatulence comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases that contain sulfur.
The gas can sometimes be uncomfortable and inconvenient; it can come from bloating of the abdomen after eating and is a result of certain habits or diet choices.

How to Cure Gas with Natural Treatments

Chew 1 teaspoon of celery seeds. Don't swallow!

Mix 1/2-1 spoon of fennel seeds to 3 spoons of yogurt and eat.

Blanch fennel seeds and drink (also good for breast feeding moms).

Drink chamomile tea to calm the gas and pain

Massage the stomach.

Natural treatment for gas with cardamom: Add 1 teaspoon of grinded fresh cardamom seeds to 1 cup of boiling water. Wait 10 minutes and drink. Repeat 3 times daily before meal.

Home remedy for gas with cayenne: Mix one teaspoon of cayenne to 1 cup of boiling water. Take one teaspoon from the mixture and mix with a cup of water; drink when needed.

UN says eat less meat to curb global warming

People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer

Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.

It also said vegetarian diets that included lots of milk, butter and cheese would probably not noticeably reduce emissions because dairy cows are a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas released through flatulence

clipper's remarks: Blamed for about one-fifth of the world’s greenhouse gases, meat production produces the ever-popular methane gas from the flatulence of cattle–something these vegetarians like to say is much worse for the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

Aren’t you merely speculating at best putting forth such bold statements about meat and global warming without any real evidence that makes your point? How can a group like the United Nations stand behind such an extreme position when the foundation for it is so incredibly suspect?

Dr. Pachauri spoke at an event held by an animal rights group called Compassion in World Farming which has called on the people of Great Britain to cut their meat consumption in half to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by even more than if they cut their driving in half. In fact, they are pushing for governments around the world to mandate a reduction of meat consumption by upwards of 60 percent by the year 2020. Well, yippee freakin’ skippy!

UN Climate Change chair Dr. Rajendra Pachauri says no more meat for you!

It was mildly amusing last year when I blogged about Dr. Dean Ornish’s PETA-based front group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) pointing the finger at meat eating as a reason for global warming.

He is recently-reelected UN Climate Change chair and Indian economist Dr. Rajendra Pachauri (somebody give this guy a toupee or something for that comb over!) and it should come as no surprise that he is a vegetarian. His group at the UN shared the Nobel Peace Prize last year with the equally kooky Al Gore who has made it his life’s mission to spread this global warming farce for the rest of his life no matter what kind of shaky evidence there is for it. We’ll leave the discussion of the validity of global warming to the political blogs, but let’s dig deeper into this business that meat is a contributing factor in climate change.

Switching from beef to kangaroo burgers could significantly help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, says an Australian scientist.

The methane gas produced by sheep and cows through belching and flatulence is more potent than carbon dioxide in the damage it can cause to the environment.

But kangaroos produce virtually no methane because their digestive systems are different.

The country already produces 30 million kangaroos farmed by landholders in the outback.

But Dr Wilson is keen to see that population dramatically increased to produce the same amount of kangaroo meat as that currently produced by conventional livestock.

Eat kangaroo to 'save the planet'

Switching from beef to kangaroo burgers could significantly help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, says an Australian scientist.

The gas produced by sheep and cows through belching and flatulence is a huge contributor to global warming - much more than carbon dioxide.

Sheep and cattle account for 11% of Australia's carbon footprint and over the years, there have been various proposals to deal with the problem.

But kangaroos produce virtually no methane gas because their digestive systems are different.

Okay, we’re doing everything we can to not be crass about this phenomena that was recently photographed by the captain of a U.S. research ship.

According Australian Antarctic Division principal research scientist Dr Nick Gales: “The white bits in the photo are pieces of ice-floe, the stream of pinky color behind the whale is a fecal plume — a.k.a. ‘poo’ — the large circle in the water is indeed the physical eruption of the whale’s flatulence.”

Old school techniques demanded that the whales be killed to see what they’re ingesting … but these days, scientists can actually determine what the animals have munched on by analyzing their feces. The prey’s DNA can be identified in the poop.

Stop giggling. This is awesome science stuff.

As for the fart-on-film, scientists say it’s likely that flatulence is just as common in whales as it in humans.

We’re doing everything we can not to make a “pull my flipper” joke. Really.

Eat These, Weigh Less?

Eat These, Weigh Less?

Maybe they’re called "magical fruit" in children’s rhymes for a reason . . .

Just not for the flatulence-producing reasons kids obsess about. What really makes beans magical is their potential effect on your waistline: Bean eaters weigh less on average than non-bean-imbibing folks do.

Bean Counting

In fact, bean eaters weigh as much as 6.6 pounds less, according to RealAge expert John La Puma, MD, author of ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine. (Browse the book online.) Makes sense when you consider beans are full of fiber and protein but low in fat, which means a serving will keep you going far beyond the need-to-munch hour but only make a minor dent in your calorie intake. (Find out which kind of bean packs the biggest antioxidant punch.)

Now they say global warming affects US security

clipper's remarks: Now the loony left is trying to appeal to conservatives with a security theme. Never mind that flood have been wiping out people since Noah built his ark. The ancient world is full of examples of thriving cities having been abandoned due to climate change - and this long before any industrialization or greenhouse gasses. Maybe the dinosaurs went extinct due to their all pervasive flatulence?

I think this global warming hype is more of the same - liberal oral flatulence.

Global warming's greatest threat to U.S. security will result from the way climate change destabilizes countries that are less able to handle its effects, according to a comprehensive government analysis of the subject.

Climate change could increase flooding in coastal areas, like the flooding that hit the Philippines.

"Climate change alone is unlikely to trigger state failure in any state out to 2030, but the impacts will worsen existing problems -- such as poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership and weak political institutions," Thomas Fingar, the chairman of the National Intelligence Council, told Congress on Wednesday.

But it is also likely to result in storm surges that could affect nuclear facilities and oil refineries near coasts, water shortages in the Southwest, and longer summers with more wildfires, the study found.

International migration may also help spread disease, Fingar added.

Coriander is primarily used in modern medicine as a flavoring agent in medicines and as a stomach soothing addition to more irritating compounds.

For upset stomach and flatulence relief, chew on Coriander seeds or drink a tea made from the seeds.

For relief from the pain of rheumatism, pound the seeds and combine with hot water or tea to make a paste, then apply to the affected area. Oatmeal may be added to this mixture to produce the desired consistency.

It's a silent, but possibly deadly, problem.

Feeling guilty about their country's greenhouse-gas emissions, New Zealand scientists want to squelch the biggest source: livestock flatulence.

Methane pumped out the backsides of New Zealand's 45 million sheep and 10 million cattle helps make the tiny country a bigger per-capita climate culprit than notoriously polluted China, reports the Times of London.

So it was with great pride Wednesday that Phil Goff, the Kiwi trade minister, told a Paris meeting of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development that the genome of the microbe responsible for all that methane had been isolated.

That would pave the way for a vaccine against bovine flatulence, he added, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Now who am I going to blame it on.

AUA 2008: GLOBAL WARMING MAY LEAD TO INCREASE IN KIDNEY STONES DISEASE

ORLANDO, FL, May 20, 2008 – Rising global temperatures could lead to an increase in kidney stones, according to research presented today at the 103^rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). Dehydration has been linked to stone disease, particularly in warmer climates, and global warming will exacerbate this effect. As a result, the prevalence of stone disease may increase, along with the costs of treating the condition. Researchers presented data to reporters in a special press conference on May 20, 2008 at 8:00 a.m.
