F-Minus comic in today's paper

I laughed to myself when I saw this. Seems true of so many relationships these days.

Soma Hot Yoga

Me and my wife decided to start a new Youtube channel. It's called Soma Hot Yoga. You can find it here. It's going to start with some videos I took while I was in India. And over time I will be adding more and more full length classes that people can follow along to, including the Baptist style Vinyassa Flow as well as maybe Bikrams 26 postures. Anyways, please visit and subscribe.

Cancer and Pepsi linked??? Noooooo...

This is a gem. Cancer and Pepsi/Coca Cola are linked? Wow, what a surprise. And their solution? To reduce the level of the cancer causing chemical to meet the new requirements? It's still just as likely to give you cancer no matter what they try and do to it....

www.meat.org


Wow... There's a video right on the front page when you go here...

I agree with the entire video. The meat industry as it stands is a sickness


 But anyone who makes a video like that should not be taking ANY pharmaceuticals in my opinion, I can bet most of PETA is ok with Pharma companies, which hurt, and have hurt animals equally, if not more than the CURRENT meat industry. So if you agree with PETA and this video, than you should NEVER touch ANYTHING from a Pharmaceutical company or any subsidiary of them.

Acetaminophen raises Asthma risks!

I found this article in the Calgary Herald Nov 24th 2011. I cut it out right away because I knew articles such as this won't make it to press a second time, especially if Johnson&Johnson have their way.

An Ohio doctor is warning people of medical studies linking rising/worsening rates of asthma to acetaminophen use. Actually it's interesting because in the 1980s doctors were urging people to stop taking aspirin because of the risk of developing Reye syndrome, which can be life threatening. So since then most people started giving their children acetaminophen. Over the past 30 years researchers couldn't figure out why asthma rates were always rising at an alarming rate. A study published in a British medical journal Lancet found six to seven year olds were 1.6 times more likely to develop asthma if they took acetaminophen more then once per year but less than once per month. For those that took the medicine at least once a month, the risk was triple. Here is the original article in all it's glory;

Monkeys in Advertising

I love to see monkeys used in advertising. I was sitting at the lights the other day right beside Minit Lube, which is a company that uses a monkey as part of it's main logo/theme. The picture on the sign is of a monkey in mid-stride, wearing mechanics overalls and holding a tray with various oil filters on it. I thought it was funny to see anthropomorphism being used for the people working on your car. Don't the workers there realize the owners are calling them all monkeys?

Today I received a letter from Telus trying to sell me cable TV. I laughed to myself when I saw they included coasters in the envelope as part of their advertising campaign, they wrote in the ad along with the coasters: "Enjoy your favourite flavour of beverage with a coaster that fits your TV watching style." and it had pictures of a monkey, or a couple monkeys in various poses; one with a football for sports peop.... I mean \monkey, one of a monkey watching a fish bowl for nature people, one of two monkeys looking frightened, and one of a monkey holding a Russian matryoshka probably signifying drama... Again, no one sees that the corporate executives and advertisers are basically calling everyone a monkey? That's what it seems like to me...

And tell me that's not a sexually suggestive photo of the monkey with the football... lol

Universal Seasons

Is it possible that global warming isn't fueled by burning of fossil fuels or deforestation as much as maybe our solar system moving through the different seasons of the Milky Way?

Upon further investigation, the entire Milky Way galaxy has a rotational rate of 1 for every 15- 50 million years.  The Galactic Center of the Milky Way has also been notoriously hard to measure with some estimates of it's placement spanning over 1 kpc(Kiloparsecs). One Galactic year is approximately 225-250 million years. Our last ice age started ending approximately 110 000 years ago. So isn't it possible our Solar System, or even our Milky Way galaxy is moving closer to a tropical time and as a result ending our last Ice Age?
