POPSWhat Do Your Genes Say About You? The Future of Personal Genomics The company 23andMe announced its DNA testing service last month in San Diego. You might think such a comprehensive analysis would costs thousands, but the process is actually relatively affordable. For less than $1,000 customers are able to learn virtually everything science currently knows about their biological code. For those wary of needles, you’ll be comforted to know that the DNA is retrieved conveniently and painlessly from a home mail-in saliva test kit.

POPSYOU'RE ON THE AIR WITH RUSH LIMBAUGH. On the website http://www.thethinkingblue.com/limbaughcomments.html is a remake of the Rush Limbaugh video from YOUTUBE The only changes I made were the pictures. The original film had images of the devastation of war, on all people involved, the men, women and children caught in the horrors of war. I don't know why YOUTUBE pulled the video but I thought perhaps it was because of those sad pictures. We Americans get a WHITEWASHED version of the war and maybe YOUTUBE wanted to keep it that way. But if it was because of what Rush Limbaugh said on the uncut audio of his show and YOUTUBE was protecting him... THE SHAME IS ON YOUTUBE, who like so many on the right spin, twist and cajole TRUTH until it no longer resembles actuality, just so it will fit their account of reality. You can also view the video on the camaroz28 server: http://videos.camaroz28.com/video/6ebe1dc3-e5e0-4a3a-bcc4-99d401031775.htm

POPSYou can't estimate a month I'm sitting on exactly this problem right now. My "hours" estimate was about 60, so I figured a month worth of ETA, given that I'm not full-time on the one project.... Of course, in a month's time, a lot of other stuff can come up...

POPSVaclav Klaus on Climate Change This reaction to the call to act on climate change needs to be understood, in order to properly rebut it. Many see climate change science as a method of industrialized countries placing controls on others, and therefore reject it out right. In actuality, climate change poses more of a threat to people's freedoms than is being realized.

POPSChoiceless Awareness I skimmed through a Krishnamurti book years ago and this idea has stuck with me since. I'd say obtaining a state of choiceless awareness is near the top of my new years resolution list.
