very, very sad to learn of the death of sir patrick moore.
i've been following his programme the sky at night ever since the first one.
he started my lifelong interest in astronomy, and is partly responsible for my sons' careers.. wonderful enthusiasm!.
Welcome DuckBharma :-) Don't worry, as long as you don't take things too seriously you are perfectly safe to post on this site :-)
I remember seeing Patrick at a concert once - he was a keen xylophone player!
My lifelong interest in astronomy was inspired by this man - rest in peace.

Still haven't come to terms with it.
I don't want to die, dammit!
Still hoping scientists invent something to save the day. But in the meantime, I'm enjoying my life.
watchtower's weirdest photograph?.
you wont believe it when you see it.
and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/10/watchtowers-weirdest-photograph.html.
Looks like some quite famous people there.
Right at the back, between the windows, I can see Groucho Marx.
And second table in from the front, in the middle facing the camera, it either the 'Woman in Black' or Queen Victoria.
i stop taking my blood pressure meds.
the other day.
while at the dentist they took my blood pressure, 177 over 101.. i,am taking my pressure pills again.
My blood pressure was averaging 150/100 even WITH medicine (2 types) and I was dreading an increased dosage.
I then went on a diet consuming only low calorie raw vegetables, pickles and fruits during the day. I lost some weight. (still eating normal meals in the evening)
I also took Rosehip tablets (http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/healthnotes.asp?Resource=%2Fassets%2Ffeature%2Frose-hips-for-heart-health_14790_4%2F~default)
I also cut down on salt and have a brisk 30 minutes walk every day.
My blood pressure is now averaging 130/85.
Which of these helped the most I do not know - maybe all of them together?
(PS HATED Lisinopril - gave me a cough so had to change to Amlodipine and Candesartan)

What the hell is this about? Who is buying these projectors and for what purpose?

it seems that often when a new study comes out, there are many who like to point their finger and say "see?
that proves ---" as if one single study always definitively establishes or disproves the efficacy of a given chemical agent, be it vitamin or drug.
some people also think that the fact it appears in a prestigious journal like jama necessarily indicates it is gospel truth.
In the UK, a significant proportion of the population are vitamin D deficient by the end of the winter, as there is simply not enough sunlight. So I would personally recommend vitamin D supplements at least.
I've always had a varied diet but have taken a multi-vitamin every day for the past 3 years and can definitely say I feel much healthier than I used to. Length and severity of colds has decreased dramatically.
I also take Rosehip extract for my Carpel tunnel syndrome. (Rosehip has also been studied and has proven to be an effective anti-inflammitory)
I also used to take Acai berry extract capsules but that became too expensive (but which were great for my, er, libido!)
i certainly am , providing their are strong arguments that the perpretrator of the crime is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt of the crime he/she is charged with .. i am not religous ,however i do agree with a life for a life principle ,especially if it involves multiple victims.
somebody killing x amount of people, proven of course , have no right to live.
of course with murders of one victim their can be many scenarios which the courts of law can adjudicate for whatever an outcome.
No. 1. The Justice system is too imperfect, many innocents WOULD be put to death (and have been in the past). 2. Two wrongs don't make a right. If it is wrong to kill, then it is wrong to kill. Society/civilisation should be better than that. Of course, anyone found guilty of a heinous murder should spend the rest of their lives in prison, both as punishment and to protect the public.
recently i talked to someone i care about who is in the jw group and stated i feel that believing billions of people are going to die when armegedon comes and only a jws will survive would be unloving of a god.
the response is one that i've also noticed others have experienced.
in short the answer is something like the following: "we don't believe that, only jehovah can read hearts.
Try saying to them the next day 'I am a right hearted person, I don't need be an active Jehovah's Witness to survive Armageddon' and see what they say then! A classic case of believing two opposite things at the same time!
lots of guys have a mechanical facination, be it cars or building things or one of a hundred other ways.
one area in particular is watches.
i have a few that i love.. a personal fav is my tissot sea star 1000. cant post a pic atm but its an awesome watch.... .
'Cleaning' mechanical watches can be very tricky if you have no experience.
The process we go through can be simplified thus:
Solvants must be non-oily type (such as isopropol)
Lubricants must be sparingly used light watch oils. Correct watchmaker tools are also required, especially for removing the hands.
Good luck!
