    Babel

    i rented babel, the departed and trailer park boys the movie........(took a week but no late fees!) I felt Babel was the best movie I've seen in a long time. I agree totally with this synopsis: re: "explores with shattering realism the nature of the barriers that seem to separate humankind." http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film/68/3768/synopsis.php SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.
  2. Futuristic fleet of 'cloudseeders' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/6354759.stm I'd also like to wonder! -fake plastic trees that mimic our natural carbon capturers -pumping sea water into the clouds -launching sulpher rockets Creating a 'sulphur screen' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/6369971.stm -deflective global sunshades -feeding urea to the ocean phytoplankton Multiplying the ocean's CO2 guzzlers http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/6369401.stm SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.
  3. Increasing the amount of sunlight reflected back into space from the tops of thin, low-level clouds (marine stratocumuli, which cover about a quarter of the world's oceanic surface), would produce a cooling effect. Fine droplets of sea-water - about a 10,000th of a centimetre in size - would be sprayed from cylinders on cloud-seeding yachts. The amount of cooling could be controlled, via satellite measurements and a computer model. Professor Stephen Salter has developed plans for a novel form of spray-droplet production (involving high-velocity propulsion of sea-water droplets), and has designed a wind-powered unmanned vessel which can be remotely guided to regions where cloud seeding is most favourable. In order to produce adequate cooling, we need to spray sea-water droplets continuously over a significant fraction of the world's oceanic surface, at a total rate of around 50 cubic metres per second. At a recent Nasa meeting - it seems likely to be a strong contender in the fight to improve the current global warming problem worldwide.

  4. I liked the design of pumping fine particles of sea water into clouds, increasing the thickness of the clouds and reflecting the suns rays.......

  5. You need a prescription to give glucose tabs and it would be illegal if you did???????????????????? Why do you think one would need a prescription for glucose tabs??? As a EMT you would be fully aware what a prescription drug is and what is'nt? Glucose tabs can be bought at any corner store, on the shelf or off every drug store shelf in my country- and I am certain they are in your country too. hey buddy, as long as you are aware of what is medication and what is glucose tabs! glucose tabs= 4 grams of carbohydrates per tablet ingredients= glucose SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.
  6. A good hot shower in a tub where you're not afraid to step.Your great big towel Having some leftover pizza with a late night beer Going to bed on my big ass comfy bed all sound like the comforts of home... i just got here after driving in bumper to bumper traffic from Vancouver on a Fri. evening (2 1/2 hrs.) Already enjoyed my soak in a hot tub, wrapped in my big towel, made a toasted steak sandwich & enjoyed a beer. Home sweet home is muchly appreciated especially after being away, but also is enjoying a home made cup of coffee when camping... re: actually taking the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in my life....

  7. some stuff is so easy like diabetes, i figure dz's should carry glucose tabs in their first aid kit just incase a diabetic is in need. I supply them at my d.z. as i am a diabetic skydiver who always carries them in my jumpsuit pocket. there is a thread somewhere on here about a tandem instructor with diabetic (type 1) coming back to jump again. Her first jump she carried a can of pop with her for ride to altitude incase her blood sugars got low (as if one can down a pop on jump run...) in comparison to carrying glucose tabs makes way more sense as they dissolve quickly in the mouth. When medical info is known re: passenger a diabetic, tandem instructors could check if they have eaten a meal recent or have glucose tabs in their possession.........

  8. i recently was on iv antibiotic treatment as an outpatient- nurses had horrible time with finding good veins (said mine were small and squiggly)...anyway after warming up towels and poking over and over everyday they decided i was dehydrated and told me to drink huge water. What a difference, the next day my veins were very plump and easy to get.........

    Beer Time

    after i've accomplished something i feel is award worthy.... recently: digging up my garden/ ripping up my carpet/ first sleep in my new leather recliner/rocker... As I have type 1 diabetes I very rarely drink more than one beer. I could easily drink a case or two but my blood sugars would just get higher, i would not get drunk and would have to take insulin injections for the high blood sugar or just piss all night long after every beer...dehydrated. I'd rather smoke the b.c. weed. I can drink vodka & gin and actually feel the alcohol affects for some reason? Blood sugars do not get high unless mixed with anything sweet (orange grey goose) 2killya and saki also go down good. SMiles
  12. the film on discovery channel is free to watch, - no purchase is made. My understanding is Tombs with the names The Virgin Mary, Jesus of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene and Judas, their son, are found and an investigation is made. It is the central tenet of Christian faith that, some time around 30 AD, Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion. The Resurrection is described in each of the four Gospels. “The Lost Tomb Of Jesus” does not challenge the fact of the Resurrection. It does, however, ask viewers to consider the possibility that it occurred from another tomb and that Jesus was married and had a son. If Jesus’ mortal remains have indeed been found, this would contradict only the idea of a physical ascension. However, it says nothing against the possibility of a spiritual one nor does it dispute the idea of the Ascension. The gospels aren't clear as to whether it is physical or spiritual ascension. As I have yet to watch the film, I cannot judge or SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

  19. I just got tickets today for The Police Sweet! Mon, 05/28/07 The Police General Motors Place Vancouver, BC I had to become a current Police Tour Fan Club member first to buy presale as the second the tickets go for sale online without presale- the concert is sold out and you have no choice but to buy from someone in France off eBay. Fan Club presale started today and i got 4 tickets for $95 EA and paid Tour Fan Club membership-($100.00 USD, $120 CDN additional purchase.) Each of us split the membership and each ticket cost is $120 CDN. for plaza level. PLAZA LEVEL CA $59.50 - CA $225.00 FLOOR LEVEL CA $95.00 - CA $225.00 BALCONY LEVEL CA $59.50 - CA $95.00 Anyway- don't get why they do not have a system for people in Vancouver buying tickets to see the concert in Vancouver- instead of selling out concert in Vancouver to the world -so they can in turn sell their tickets back to people in Vancouver on eBay???????? Hey, will be a great concert live- but General Motors Place in Vancouver is not built for sound. ----------------------------- "Roxanne" "So Lonely" "Message in a Bottle" "Don't Stand So Close to Me" "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" "Every Breath You Take." "King of Pain" "Wrapped Around Your Finger" Ghost in the Machine, Synchronicity,... hmmmm - can't wait!

  24. was doyle playing? I saw roger waters live in the flesh- in my opinion doyle bramhall ll "made" this concert - along with andy fairweather-low & snowy white. Doyle wipes clapton off the stage completely with his guitar & vocals. I'd pay $500. for a ticket to see doyle bramhall ll live. http://www.whereseric.com/articles/2004/interview-with-doyle-bramhall-ii.html SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.
