Tips to (again!) Avoid A Daylight Saving Death!

Doc Gurley — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:52:28 +0000

We’ve had the deflating news that Daylight Saving Time (where we lose an oh-so-painful hour of sleep) doesn’t even save energy – in fact it may even increase energy usage.

Even more Salmonella issues

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:25:39 +0000

Image via Wikipedia Once again (this now happens every couple of months) the FDA is forcing a recall of food products (notice that they are called food products, not food) tainted with salmonella. This time it is hydrolyzed vegetable protein manufactured by Basic Food Flavors (that’s some flavoring they are adding…) The ‘food product’ was added mostly [...] Related posts:

Chile (and Haiti, and Katrina…): Preparedness lessons for you and me

Doc Gurley — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:07:22 +0000

We’ve entered a new arena of horror – where our Richter scale, for the first time, doesn’t seem to reach high enough, and adjectives are crumbling under the impact. “Devastation” or “catastrophe”? None of the usual descriptors feel powerful enough. So as punched-gut news of another urban area implosion reaches you today, this one from Chile, [...] Related posts:

Having a Haiti moment at JFK: there is apparently debris all over our runway (source?).
