    Pharmaceutical companies solicit scientists to ghostwrite

    Apparently not even scientific journals are to be trusted not to be biased any longer. (So that leaves Sir Potty with no reliable sources for information. They'll ALL be from biased right wing nuts. lol) http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/05/health/research/05ghost.html Wyeth ghostwriters pushed...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Maybe sometime, north of 60 and in the Antartic may be the only habitable places on the planet to live. The rest will be just too hot or humid or both.

    How about eggs?

    lol Of the ughnog I ever tried, all were overspiced with nutmeg so I dopn't even bother. And Les has to have a good dose of rum in it before he'll drink the stuff. lol

    How about eggs?

    lol I am with you on that. I don't like fish canned with bones still in; it's like eating bits of chalk. We make our own sausages sometimes, and are picky about which meats go into them. Moose is best because we mix it with bacon (home cured) from the fellow down the road. Eggs are awesome any...

    Death knell for AGW

    lol I just spotted this. I noticed that it's only indicative of the period between 2003 and 2008 (I think the dotted line means projected temperature). Well, look at this graph below. It has a couple spots that indicate ocean temp anomalies went down for a few years too but the general tendency...

    Death knell for AGW

    Sorry, coldstream, but people convinced that the climate is changing only took the cue from people like Walter, who I think may finally have stopped using spontaneous instances of localised weather to support his position. Just making fun of him basically. :) And you are using which model to be...

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    Yep. Homemade beats storebought and we can make a few gallons in a day complete with seasonings. And as I say, just to make sauce needs a fresh tomato or two. And we don't even need to turn the crank (costs money to buy Hunts and the gas used to go get it). Besides, we like gardening a whole lot...

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    We make our own paste, too. Sauce is always made at the time we need it and the paste is the frozen part. It already has the spices in it to let the spices' flavor spread around. We just add a tomato or two when we make the sauce. Turns out just lovely.
