Labradoodle-Sheepa: are designer dog breeders going too far?

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:12:59 PDT

Tornado activity high lately, but it's hard to predict what trends (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)

By BRYON OKADA While there are trends to tornadoes, statistics bear out that their behavior continues to be unpredictable at best and contradictory at worst. In the past couple of years, there have been unusually high numbers of early-season tornadoes in the western Metroplex. (A year ago, the nine western counties -- Wise, Denton, Palo Pinto, Parker, Tarrant, Johnson, Hood, Erath and Somervell ...

I don't have any friends like that...

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:09:16 PDT
I find this video especially compelling in light of the release of Morgan Stanley’s Internet Trends report. The authors point to the fact that 16% of the worldwide share of time spent online is now allotted to social connections. So, what does it mean if we’re all connected, but the nature of the connections is so tenuous that they prove to be of little value in a time of need? When we friend, type, post, embed, or share, do we really convey any meaning, or is the vapid, perfunctory transmi

If you enjoy LOL, ROFL and :), has the CW got a BFD for you Published on April 28th, 2008 Posted by Eideard in General No Comments What’s quickly becoming clear is that in order to effectively pander to ever-fickle tastes and trends, it’s important to swear a lot. Or at least, pretend to swear. As we live in a land where profane words remain inherently evil, this means an abundance of vowels and consonants and a sort of third-grade approach to public discourse. This idea has started to be

The Food Pyramid turns 16

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:18:30 PDT
It’s been 16 years since the The Food Pyramid was unveiled, with the aim of helping Americans, and others, make healthy dietary choices. In 1992, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture created the food pyramid. It recommended the number of servings of each food group a person should eat daily to stay healthy. The food groups in the pyramid include: grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat, and fats and oils. Today, more than two-thirds of Americans are ove

Another Reason To Fear a McCain Presidency

Chuck Colson weighs in on Oprah and ’A New Earth’

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:28:41 PDT
As promised, Chuck Colson covers the Oprah Winfrey/Eckhart Tolle controversy in today's BreakPoint commentary: . . . Tolle’s supposedly groundbreaking message is simply the same old New Age thinking in pretty packaging. While Tolle acknowledges something wrong with the human condition (what Christians call “sin”), he preaches the need not for repentance and salvation, but for a new “awakening.” This involves looking deep within the self for peace and harmony, not looking to Christ. There is no

How People Explain Female Geeks

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:00:39 PDT
A question that comes up a lot in the course of my research and blogging, both implicitly and explicitly, is why geek culture is typically described and understood as a male phenomenon, and why female involvement needs some sort of special explanation. This has been on my mind a lot lately for a few reasons, not least of which being the articles that occasionally cross my screen. It’s no great secret that most of the pursuits thought of as “geeky” see greater participation among males than a

We should stop fooling ourselves. Our armed forces are no longer world class

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:02:40 PDT
By Max Hastings (THE GUARDIAN, 28/04/08): The Ministry of Defence is plunged into a grim process described as a “mini defence review”. Teams of service officers and civil servants are exploring every aspect of spending and procurement plans in a desperate effort to save money. Current year sums have been made to add up only by creative accountancy, pushing back some big bills to 2010. Whoever becomes defence secretary after an election that year will face a pile of yellowing, unpaid invoices.

Putin denied the report in his usual charming way, scolding the media “with their snotty noses and their erotic fantasies.” Then the newspaper that published the rumor was shut down. Or, to be more precise, the newspaper that pub

The Chaste Vampire Generation

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:06:48 PDT
Time Magazine this week looks into fiction phenom, Stephenie Meyer. Meyer, 34, is a huge success at selling books, but she's becoming something more. People dress up like her characters. They write their own stories about them and post their tales on the Internet. When she appears at a bookstore, 3,000 people go to meet her. There are Twilight-themed rock bands. But it is the rare vampire novel that isn't about sex on some level, and the Twilight books are no exception. What makes Meyer's bo
