After sitting through the much trumpeted Doctor Who Confidential programme on BBC1 tonight I was disappointed to learn that the new Doctor is to be a young actor named Matt Smith, who is 26 and looks about 16, with the boy-band hair in the eyes look. He also has the look of “Odo” from Deep [...]

The following excerpt is from an article in the April 1999 edition of The Reporter (a newsletter published by Vanderbilt University). It really helped me understand how I became infected with Cpn and how as a hidden infection it becomes chronic without the body even knowing it is there. It might also help your understanding [...]

As far as I am concerned these two made an obscene phone call, which is a criminal offence and should be prosecuted under criminal law. The fact that it was supposed to be “comedy” is neither here nor there – neither is it a defence.

I watched the televised debate with Joe Biden expecting that Ms Palin would be hilariously lost for words, but I was disappointed. There was a lot of down-home folksy verbiage from Ms Palin, acres of it that included the buzz words “change” and “maverick” at every conceivable opportunity, but very little of substance. I was [...]

Doxy and azith are bacteriostatics, they inhibit the replication (and some Cpn die in the process) but don’t directly kill the Cpn. Flagyl/Tini are bacteriocidal, they actually kill bacteria, especially anaerobes, as well as other organisms like protozoa. One of the ways Cpn survives is by inhibiting apoptosis (natural cell deathi) of the host cell. [...]

Now I am trying FoxVox and SpeechUtil to see which is the most convenient for listening to [...]

Congestion, soaring fuel prices and more designated lanes are some of the reasons given for a huge rise in cycling across UK towns and cities. But it has led to rising tension between drivers, pedestrians and those on two wheels. Cyclist Jason Howard was fined £2,200 following the death of a pedestrian he had collided [...]

Congratulations to all the kids who were born in the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, our baby cribs [...]
