At first I thought the broadcast suggesting that whoever opened the containers of cobalt 60 was in extreme danger was warning them to cease being in contact with it without its' container. However, later news seems to simply affirm that if they were in contact with it for very long they are walking dead. I do not think there is any treatment for over exposure to radiation. Perhaps a very strong pain killer? I am trying to evaluate what the point of this news story is. The cobalt was abandoned and is being "safely" recovered and will eventually be disposed. Therefore the criminals apparently really wanted the vehicle and only opened the containers to make sure there …

Back in the Pleistocene when one of my notions was to be a lit-crit-informed art critic, I looked forward to one day overturning the critical establishment's snootiness about Rockwell. A far darker, more multilayered imagination than usually acknowledged. Glad to see this news, even if (as Johns said) record prices say a lot, they just don't say a lot about the piece as art. The true value of Norman Rockwell, America's patriot painterRockwell is often called 'folksy', yet his art, which now fetches millions, was deeply engaged with the great issues of his day Nicolaus Mills theguardian.com, Saturday 12 October 2013 08.00 EDT Detail from Norman Rockwell's civil rig…

One or two of these promise to be quite useful. 15 Forgotten English Words You Should Know Please note: Some are mildly disturbing. But it’s mostly just a wonder and a joy that these words exist By Katy Steinmetz @katysteinmetzOct. 09, 201317 Comments Have you ever faked being sick to get the day off from work? Well, you were egroting. Have you ever laid a shampoo bottle on its side to draw the stubborn goop out of the bottom? You were duffifying. Have you ever put a live eel up a horse’s behind? Of course you have, and it so happens you were feaguing. In his book Horologicon, published this month in the U.S., English blogger Mark Forsyth puts together a collect…

He may be an all-round sleaze ball, but who cares if in the past he smoked some crack? http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Toronto-mayor-admits-crack-use-plans-to-keep-job-4956867.php

And it IS....that he has been eatting too many "Bangers and Mash" lately, and the effect is starting to show !

Hey, fuck me! I just noticed I am now an Olympian member. Not sure what this refers to? I can tell you it is not my penis size. Maybe my insatiable appetite for Brasilian men? Or the fact that the Olympics are coming in less than one thousand days to the city I now call home? At my newer svelte weight, not for my waist measurement either.

Who or what is on your Christmas wish list? Jesse Santana posted this on twitter that he'd be wrapped in red and spread eagled under my tree this year. Now that tops my wish list. . .

12 Fish To Stay Away From Steer clear of this seafood that's bad for you and the environment By Emily Main for Prevention Our oceans have become so depleted of wild fish stocks, and so polluted with industrial contaminants, that trying to figure out the fish that are both safe and sustainable can make your head spin. "Good fish" lists can change year after year, because stocks rebound or get depleted every few years, but there are some fish that, no matter what, you can always decline. The nonprofit Food & Water Watch looked at all the varieties of fish out there, how they were harvested, how certain species are farmed and levels of toxic contaminants like mercury…

Was it not enough that a Yale University professor who mysteriously died in jail has now been connected to male prostitution? Samuel See, 34, died in custody. He had been described as "brilliant" and "a rising star" in academia. Yet authorities now discover that he advertised on at least 4 sites as a male prostitute. Not common with Yale professors as far as I know! Ryan Cochran Escort Services appears to me to be See's own company. See had been arrested Sunday morning for allegedly violating a restraining order in connection with his husband.

I see that China and the weather are changing the US pecan crop this year. I do not approve. My mother made MANY pecan pies as gifts for friends and others. At holiday time she would cook 30- 40-50 pies as gifts. She had friends who would bring pecans to her so she would not be burdened with the expense of buying so many pecans AND they wanted a pie. Our family always enjoyed those pecan pies but did not make such a fuss as some others did. NP. One loves pecan pies in the Southern tradition or one just likes them here and there. This is the season for such and I have no objection to anyone who really appreciates this dessert. I always liked them but never rever…

Classic too.
