We’re all gonna freeze to death…

2012-01-30T07:31:20-06:00

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997…

SIRI Getting Smarter

2012-01-19T18:13:31-06:00

Siri is going to become even more seriously useful in the future, including letting users order goods from online sites, and expand her presence from just the iPhone 4S to other Apple devices, including the iPad, its computers and even that much-rumored Apple iTV.

The company filed a new patent Thursday for transforming its virtual assistant into an “Intelligent Automated Assistant,” one that would become even more indispensable than some iPhone users say she already is.

Right now, Siri doesn’t let users “complete transactions with online stores. The voice-driven personal assistant software will respond with ‘Sorry, I can’t purchase that.’” said Apple Insider. “But Apple’s latest patent filing specifically highlights e-commerce as a key function of its ‘Intelligent Automated Assistant’ The application notes that Siri could be used for ‘online purchases of items such as books, DVDs, music and the like.’”

Solar Blast!!

2012-01-19T18:11:36-06:00

The sun has unleashed a blast in Earth’s direction, and that should cause brighter-than-normal auroral displays this weekend. The folks in charge of power grids and orbiting satellites will also be on guard to make sure the disturbance in the (geomagnetic) force won’t be disruptive.

Word of today’s blast, technically known as a coronal mass ejection or CME, comes via SpaceWeather.com’s Tony Phillips. NASA says the outburst sparked an M3.2-class solar flare, as well as a stream of electrically charged particles that is due to interact with Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday. “Viewers can be on the lookout for increased aurora,” NASA says.

Global Cooling

2011-06-14T17:05:05-06:00

The latest long-range space forecast predicts an unexpected drop in solar activity after the next peak — and scientists say that might cool down temperatures here on Earth, or at least slow down the warming trend a bit.

Scientists have studied sunspots and the sun’s 11-year activity cycle for 400 years, and they’re getting increasingly savvy about spotting the harbingers of “space weather” years in advance, just as meteorologists can figure out what’s coming after the next storm.

Smoking Pot Has No Effect on Lung Capacity

2012-01-11T08:11:48-06:00

Periodically smoking marijuana doesn’t appear to hurt lung capacity, the largest study ever conducted on pot smokers has found.

Even though most marijuana smokers tend to inhale deeply and hold the smoke in for as long as they can before exhaling, the lung capacity didn’t deteriorate even among those who smoked a joint a day for seven years or once a week for 20 years, according to the study published Tuesday in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association.

Iran and Syria Working Together on WMD’s

2007-09-19T13:34:59-06:00

Proof of cooperation between Iran and Syria in the proliferation and development of weapons of mass destruction was brought to light Monday in Jane’s Defence Weekly, which reported that dozens of Iranian engineers and 15 Syrian officers were killed in a July 23 accident in Syria.

According to the report, cited by Channel 10, the joint Syrian-Iranian team was attempting to mount a chemical warhead on a Scud missile when the explosion occurred, spreading lethal chemical agents, including sarin nerve gas.

While Iran and Syria work on WMD’s, and Iran threatens our destruction, the dimocrats fiddle.. The dimocrat controlled house and senate (approval rating of 11%) would have you beleive the greatest threat to this country is George Bush, and conservatives who disagree with them.. they are pathetic.

That Poor Boy!!!

2011-12-07T09:43:27-06:00

A 28-year-old Lake Charles-area woman faces a bevy of charges after Louisiana police said she repeatedly had sex with a 13-year-old boy who she met at the Bible camp where she was a teacher/aide.

According to the Sulphur Daily News, Heather Daughdrill initiated the relationship in June and it continued until a complaint was filed in October. After her arrest on November 29, police told the paper that Daughdrill would pick her victim up from school without his parents’ knowledge and subject him to sexual encounters. Louisiana cops also reportedly found sexually explicit texts between Daughdrill and her victim.
