Still sewing underwear. Here's a little set I made about 2 weeks ago. It's dark brown stretch lace (sounds scary but it's actually very soft) with some super cool light blue stretch lace trim. I found both of these items here locally at Mill Ends. They actually have quite a bit of this t...

George Will has written an irresponsible article denying climate change (AKA global warming). Here’s the basic problem with George Will’s writing, as stated succinctly by The Wonk Room: In “Dark Green Doomsayers,�  Will attacked Secretary of Energy Steven Chu for discussing a worst-case sce...

Large Hadron Collider Cern We all know this is some feat of engineering. However, it’s extremely difficult to get a scale of the project. Not only is it impossible to imagine the sizes of particles whizzing around at beyond breakneck speeds, but it’s even more difficult to get an idea of...

[See this post] When I inquired the editor even said he was not sure Rosenblat falls under the public figure category [public figures cannot sue for libel in the US...

[edited 2:41 p.m.] Peter Kubicek, one of the survivors who had been calling Herman Rosenblat's bluff for a long time and could get no one to listen, has blogged about this travesty. He describes Rosenblat as a "pathological liar" but thinks he has become increasingly deluded. Kubicek focuses his att...

I am not sure why Ken Waltzer's essay on Herman Rosenblat's latest escapade on Good Morning America has disappeared from History News Newtork, a very useful site. In any case here's the essay, which I hope will soon be back on HNN. Holocaust Story Faker is No AngelKen WaltzerMichigan State Universit...

While the girls were working on their ATC cards for the swap (due in the mail this weekend) I worked on the hair ribbon thingies I had been meaning to make. These are modeled off the fancy hair bands with ribbons given to the girls for a birthday or Christmas gift from I think a family member. I don...
