Douglas Rushkoff: Hate Party

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:59:59 GMT

I felt a bit nauseous watching the Republican convention last night. I’m very much a give-the-benefit-of-the-doubt kind of guy, so I try to listen to the arguments people make even when they’re made in over-the-top or patronizing ways. Sometimes it’s good to distinguish between the rhetorical devices and the underlying substance. Even people who use manipulative language sometimes have an important point beneath their persuasion techniques (ads against smoking, for example).

I usually don’t feel uneasy when I put those filters on, but last night - during the Guiliani speech - I realized I was no longer filtering a speechwriter’s intentional manipulation; I was trying to look beyond real hate. These folks were gritting their teeth, shaking their fists, and smiling the way gladiators do when going into combat against barbarians. And this is the incumbent party. The ones currently in power.

What is it they hate? Guiliani and Palin both made it pretty clear: community organizing.

Seeking to lock up her states exceedingly valuable three electoral votes, Sarah the Obama Slayer has been dispatched back to Alaska as sort of a "fuck you, come and get me" to the national press. If one were cynical (which I am) one might think (and I do) that the Republicans are hiding Caribou Barbie away from America since that first dinner date went so well and they don't won't anyone to see the fundamentalist/creationist/extremist spinach stuck in her teeth.

Fibromyalgia Symptoms

One of the reasons fibromyalgia is not as well understood as it could be is because patients have reported such a wide variety of symptoms. However, there is some consistency, particularly with the primary symptoms.

The main or primary symptoms of fibromyalgia are:

This means pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons, described by sufferers as stabbing and shooting; with deep muscular aches, throbs and twitching, and can pop up on any part of the body.

This means fatigue that is so pronounced that it is almost incapacitating, such that limbs feel like they have weights attached to them.

This may mean one of a number of different sleep disorders, such as alpha-EEG anomaly, sleep apnea, bruxism (grinding the teeth) or restless leg syndrome (RLS)

Migraines and tension headaches affect about 70% of patients

Between 40 and 70% of patients suffer from constipation, diarrhea, frequent abdominal pain, abdominal gas, and nausea.

While in-office teeth whitening treatments can be very effective, they can also be very costly and time consuming. The procedure can run anywhere from $400-$800 and may require more than one office visit of 30-60 minutes each. During these treatments a bleaching agent is applied to teeth, and a special light can be used to enhance the effectiveness of the bleach.

Demons in our Midst:Facing the Tyrant Inside and Out

clipped by: katsteevns
clipper's remarks: (cont.)It took me a long time to recognize that truly demonic energies are operating in our world right now. I was as unwilling to acknowledge the demonic as the next person. "Demonic" was not a word in my vocabulary, nor was "evil." I thought that people who used those words were projecting and ought to look at their own behavior. However, personal as well as global circumstances have compelled me to try to understand these energies and how to combat them.

We live in a world where deceit, duplicity, and mass delusion seem nearly all-pervasive. We cannot rely on the mainstream media to tell us what we most need to know, the truth; we cannot believe the politicians; we can't trust our electoral process; and half the country seems to be under a hypnotic spell induced by sub-rational mesmerism. Our lives are increasingly being corralled by a maniacal, irresponsible administration that uses lies and fear to rationalize its assaults on our rights and freedoms, our economy and environment

Demons in our Midst:

Facing the Tyrant Inside and Out

by Suzanne Duarte

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, ALWAYS. -- Gandhi

It cannot be an accident, or mere "coincidence," that Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy was made into movies that became box office hits during the first Bush administration. We needed those images of leathery-winged monsters with huge teeth and claws, of the pathetic Gollum with the vicious shadow, of the goodness of fellowship and the evil of greed for absolute power over the world. Why did we need them? I think we needed those visual images to remind us of the nature of evil and the existence of demons because, in our secularlized, mechanistic world, we had forgotten about them. We thought we were safe.

For those of you unfamiliar with New Orleans culture, a good place to start is that there are basically only two kinds of people in New Orleans.

The first is those folks that live, as one [of Bunny's] cartoon characters puts it, in Gatorland -- "Yeah, you know ... ova dere across Magazine where dey all wear dem shoits wid lil' gators on 'em." Otherwise knows as Uptown, you can tell folks from Gatorland in the cartoons because they speak English. Another clue is that all skinny people are from Gatorland, although not all people from Gatorland are skinny. And they often have 59 rows of teeth.

The other kind of New Orleanian is Everyone Else, dose folks dat talk normal.

NEW ORLEANS

there are oodles of ways that the locals pronounce the name of their beloved City.

<new or-LEENS> is generally a no-no.

Here are the major standard local pronunciations of the City's name: <new OR-l@ns>, <new AW-l@ns>, <new OR-lee-'@ns> <new AH-lee-@ns>, <nyoo AH-lee-'@ns>.

'Rare' mammoth skull discovered

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:47:16 GMT

The "extremely rare" fossilised skull of a steppe mammoth has been unearthed in southern France.

The mammoth skull is estimated to be about 400,000 years old

The discovery in the Auvergne region could shed much needed light on the evolution of these mighty beasts.

Many isolated teeth of steppe mammoth have been found, but only a handful of skeletons exist; and in these surviving specimens, the skull is rarely intact.

Palaeontologists Frederic Lacombat and Dick Mol describe this skull specimen as being well preserved.

It belongs to a male steppe mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii) that stood about 3.7m (12ft) tall and lived about 400,000 years ago, during Middle Pleistocene times.

We need to find what I call the 'missing link' in mammoth evolution

The steppe mammoth is of vital importance for understanding mammoth evolution.

It represents the transitional phase between an ancient species known as the southern mammoth and the more recent woolly mammoth.

If you normally brush your teeth with your right hand, change to your left for a few days. This may sound strange but it will make you smarter. This is because changing sensory input patterns helps activate new neural pathways in the brain

During sleep our brains release growth hormones essential to growth, development and alertness. We should aim for an optimum of between 8.2 and 8.5 hours of sleep each night according to Charles Czeisler, Professor of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Time-Savers to Nix

Brushing alone leaves as much as 40% of your tooth surfaces untouched. Flossing between teeth allows you to get into the nooks and crannies that a toothbrush can't reach, and doing it daily--preferably at night, when plaque-causing bacteria really build up--is your frontline defense against gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.

If the benefits of good oral health don't convince you to pick up the floss, perhaps an increased risk of heart disease will: Recent research at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health revealed a connection between severe gum disease and an increased risk of atherosclerosis, a condition in which arteries become blocked.

Wearing foundation to bed can clog your pores, which can lead to blackheads and breakouts. A more serious consequence is that mascara fragments will dislodge in your eyes while you're sleeping and cause painful corneal abrasions.

After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
