MRSA and Morgellons: Jangled Messages |
 |
reganlee writes "I don’t mean to be paranoid, but it seems with some things I can’t help myself. I believe “they” are watching us, whoever “they” are, that “they” are intentionally poisoning us with Splenda, Aspartame,corn syrup, sodium, larger food portions, cloned meats and genetically modified foods. Oh yeah, and chemtrails. Still, I don’t mean to get all hyper paranoid over this MRSA thing, yet there are things afoot that nag at me. (MRSA is a staph infection that is super-resistant to antibiotics.) On one hand, MRSA seems to be poohed poohed; the school district I work for has, as its headline on its website, an article titled “Much Ado About MRSA” which implies that MRSA is no big deal. And in my case, it most probably isn’t. But then I read that other school districts have closed down during MRSA outbreaks, (including here in Oregon, where I live) and we can always count on Jeff Rense, of Rense.com, for good old yellow journalism, with his headlines screaming about not only MRSA but Morgellons, Bird Flu, and other ills -- it’s easy to get nervous about things.

Sense of Time, Sense of Place |
|
By Carbonek
David Abram observes that “The curvature of time in oral cultures is very difficult to articulate on the page, for it defies the linearity of the printed line. Yet to fully engage, sensorially, with one’s earthly surroundings is to find oneself in a world of cycles within cycles within cycles” (186).
I think it is harder for literate cultures to engage the cycles of time that surround us, but I don’t think it is only the provenance of oral or pre-literate cultures. We can observe the changes of the seasons, the phases of the moon, the movement of the stars, and other perpetual cycles in our world, if we choose to do so.
I am aware of my coming menstrual cycle by looking at the phase of the moon. Again, I cannot say when my awareness of the moon’s cycles in conjunction with my own occurred, but it seems completely normal to answer my doctor’s question “when was your last menstrual period?” with “at the last new moon”, even if she requires that I translated that into a calendar date.

Glaciers 'Moving Faster' - Study |
|
Article Source - BBC News
The rate at which two major Greenland glaciers are moving has seen a dramatic acceleration, a study warns. Swansea University researchers say the flow rate, or the speed at which the constantly travelling glaciers move, has doubled in two years. Scientists have warned the findings could mean the ice cap is melting even more quickly than previously thought.
A report published by the UK government last week also expressed fears of the impact of climate change.
The Swansea-led study, which involved scientists from Leeds and Sheffield universities, looked at the Kangerdlugssuaq glacier in East Greenland and the Helheim glacier, 186 miles away.The Swansea-led study, which involved scientists from Leeds and Sheffield universities, looked at the Kangerdlugssuaq glacier in East Greenland and the Helheim glacier, 186 miles away.

Shocked scientists find tsunami legacy: a dead sea |
|
Source: smh.com.au
A "DEAD zone" devoid of life has been discovered at the epicentre of last year's tsunami four kilometres beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean. Scientists taking part in a worldwide marine survey made an 11-hour dive at the site five months after the disaster.
They were shocked to find no sign of life around the epicentre, which opened up a 1000-metre chasm on the ocean floor. Instead, there was nothing but eerie emptiness. The powerful lights of the scientists' submersible vehicle, piercing through the darkness, showed no trace of anything living. A scientist working on the Census of Marine Life project, Ron O'Dor, of Dalhousie University in Canada, said: "You'd expect a site like this to be quickly recolonised, but that hasn't happened. It's unprecedented."

Plants are not unlike humans. They can talk to each other and even call in reinforcements when the going gets tough. 
EASTVILLE, Va. — A white fireball 2 miles across thunders from the sky at 30,000 mph and crashes into the ocean off the Virginia coast. The impact vaporizes billions of tons of water, rips a hole in the sea floor 6 miles deep and fractures the bedrock far into the Earth.
