Dr. Mercola's Comments:

And you thought you were just getting a viral vaccine. In many cases the vaccine additives are far more toxic than the viral component. This is particularly true for thimerosal which is mercury.

Many will say that thimerosol is not in the vaccines any more. Well last summer Congress "strongly recommended" that the Pharmaceutical Company take the thimerosol out of vaccines....it was not mandated; simply recommended. The drug companies were not told to take the existing lots off the market. The recommendations only applies to new product line manufacture. An unknown amount of vaccine was/is still on the shelves.

Now the twist:

Yes, the new vaccines are supposed to be thimerosal-free, but I'm not sure that they are. In addition, it is unknown when you get a vaccination if you are getting a "new lot" or an "old lot." It is unknown exactly when the new thimerosal-free vaccines went into effect and were available in the market. In addition, if you were vaccinated with an old lot, or vaccinated previous to last summer, you got a dose of the mercury.

NOW the 'big marketing push" for vaccines, in 6 color glossy is "this vaccine is THIMEROSAL-FREE!!!!"....as if they had no idea before last summer that mercury was a problem. And, in response to "YOUR CONCERNS (even tho unfounded), oh faithful followers, we are making a new, and safe vaccine."

Health: a quick note about corn

By avoiding corn, you avoid a typically genetically-modified product. But corn is so pervasive in our society that in order to NOT eat it, you have to be on the lookout for these ingredients, among others:

cellulose, xylitol, calcium stearate, ethyl lactate, maltodextrin, saccharin, xanthan gum, gluten, sucrose, sorbitol, ethel acetate, high fructose corn syrup, citrus cloud emulsion, citric acid, ascorbic acid, di-glycerides, baking powder, fructose, sorbic acid, vanilla extract, starch

It's easier, and better, to just NOT BUY any processed foods.  Don't go to fast food restaurants - or most chain restaurants for that matter, and stay out of the center of grocery stores.  And while you're shopping at a grocery, try avoiding anything that comes with plastic around it - including the boxes with plastic liners.  Those are typically industrially-produced foods and should be avoided anyway.  In doing all this, you will be choosing nourishment and not suicide.

UT2004: SeaPack v007 is available

Being the most forgetful developer ever, I have failed to get around to posting this for, oh, a month or so. Someone popped up in Meebo the other day and chatted with me about it, which got me to finish compiling the zip file and upload it.  I never got to finish the discussion with him, and I hope he comes back to see that I realized I left ONE file out of the batch.  Sorry about that!  But, the zip was updated and is now available to everyone for downloading.  I've just got it on my public DropBox, so here's the link. (This was tested on a rather-fresh installation of UT2004.)

Basically, this updates most of the maps by adding in my very own vehicle, the SeaBass.  Essentially it's not a WHOLE lot different than what's already available to the SeaPack, but in a different shape.  Kinda like how 8-bit games add enemies by changing them from red to blue, y'know?  OH yes and also: My completely-underwated Onslaught map, ONS-DeepSix, is in here.  It's freaking huge and took me a REALLY, REALLY long time to create so I hope someone out there enjoys it.  If you do, please please PLEASE tell me because it's about all the reward I'll get for putting so much time into it.  It's a bit too big for my usual crowd of LAN players to get into (they don't play Onslaught much and we don't even get together that often anymore), so ... well, here's hoping it's well-received.

Health: Food, Inc.

I went to see Food, Inc. last night was really good, informative, and upsetting (of course) all at the same time.  The showing was sold out and the audience applauded at the end. This is a movie that everyone - EVERYONE - should watch and learn from. 

The moral is that it REALLY matters whether you buy local and organic foods or not.  Our LIVES are being destroyed so that we can collectively buy food at a slightly cheaper price.  It's a vicious circle from which the only way out is to grit your teeth and buy the slightly-more-expensive groceries.   STOP buying processed foods. They are laded with chemicals and preservatives that, while they make the food cheap, they also lead to poor health.They destroy our environment.  Think you're green?  Not if you buy a hamburger. 

Whatever we do — no matter how tight our pocket books — we must not support these operations with our food dollars. - Food Renegade.

Politics: Miss California, Perez Hilton, and free speech

Mass media has given rise to "supported hate" speech, which follows free speech around like a guard dog, and it picks the sensational stories to empower its positions.  The internet, through social media channels, enables relatively anonymous groups to also become political bullies, further agitating the free speech landscape by making it appear - at least to themselves - like the issue lies more in their court than it may really be.  With such a climate, people should better apparently keep their opinions to themselves if they have any kind of gain to be had from the public.

So, Miss California supports traditional marriage.  Right.  What we need to be doing here is chastening those who demonize their opponents, as in this case Perez Hilton has done.  He asked her a politically-motivated, self-serving, and redundant question to which she responded with nervousness and honesty as she failed to actually answer.  But in reviewing this situation, we should not forget that Americans do not have, and never have had, the right to not be offended. Instead of slewing epithets toward Miss California, Hilton should simply say, "well, that's her opinion."  He could have responded by saying, "Y'know, when you're not used to being in the spotlight answering politically loaded questions, it's probably understandable that she reverted back to her personal opinions about the subject at hand."  He could just say he disagrees with her. But then, that's not what he gets paid to do, and he is comfortable being loud and grabbing attention while she is not.

Yes, the answer Perez gave in his video response immediately after the show is the proper answer to his question.  It's the only acceptable answer to his question, if you think about it - which he obviously had, of course.  But to laugh at her and call her a stupid B---- because of her answer is not the right thing to do.  Free speech must reign, Hilton needs to grow up, and we all need to be more understanding and forgiving.

Bible: 1 Cor 1:18 ... the Bible is foolish...

... to those who can't understand it. You can see this all the time on pages such as the Atheist subreddit. They absolutely love to pick the Bible apart, piece by piece - never questioning once that what they're reading might not even be a proper translation... never questioning what they THINK they know about the Bible. But to those who earnestly open their heart to understanding, it will be given to them.

TV: Heroes "Cold Snap" next day reaction

Spoilers, if you have watched it --

Let's see... What the crap happened to Sylar being in the Hunter's apartment?  I was expecting to see something come of that.  And how did Doyle wind up there, gift-wrapped?  Are these two issues related, and if so, how the heck did the two find each other again?  Last we knew, Rebel was looking out for Doyle who just wanted to get out of the game.  Frustrating plot discrepancy, I say.

Secondly, how in the world did Peter find Angela?  Seriously, was he just following her around all day or something?  Tracing her cellphone?  Okay MAYBE Rebel pointed him to her... we'll give 'em that.

In general, I really liked this episode.  Daphne dies.  Okay, sad, but still poignantly good. not pointless like Elle.  Matt needed to stop fixating on her (oh and I totally knew his flying was a mind game).  Shows need to be able to kill off good guys AND bad guys for it to be in the ballpark of the believeable realm.

Micah is rebel, after all.  Lots of speculation going on about this... and I personally don't really like it.  He's able to know far too much for someone who can just control computers.  He's been able to see things and react to them much more than someone with such a talent should.  But oh well.  It'll be good to finally have him in a more active role.  Of course, who knows, they might just go back to having him be a bunch of text messages.  Personally, I still think it would have been MUCH better if Rebel were Hannah - the airwaves gal back from season one who became a computer "virus".  Yeah, they "killed her off" in the graphic novels, but IMHO they didn't; she should have been backed up and restored right along with all the other data in the computers that blew up.  Anyway, back to the episode.

Tracy, dead?  No, of course not.  I knew that even before she froze herself, because I read that the actress, Ali Larter, won't be leaving the show any time soon.  Plus the wink gives it away.

OH.  Ando's power now zaps as well?  Okay, maybe it always did that... maybe they just felt sorry for him.  They certainly could have been taking better advantage of his power.

Allrighty.  Back at it.  P.S. the graphic novel this week was a big advertisement for Nissan's cube, whatever the crap that is.
