The "worst case":
Baking powder doesn't cure cancer
Natural therapies don't cure cancer
Iridology doesn't cure cancer Iridologist tells patient not to seek conventional treatment even after hole in head develops to the point of patient's brain being visible.Unproven and/or ineffective therapies, trusting patients, and overenthusiastic, non-medical, practitioners are a bad mix.

Southerly: A Blog on Behalf of an…, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Perhaps you have your own personal editor looking out for you, in the way that Catholic children have guardian angels.
Guardian angels are indeed editors, but here in NZ we have Herald angels who have outsourced their editors to overseas sweatshops.

Cypherpunk, surely?

(2) I'm scared of Russell. Very, very scared.
You are not alone...
If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from Russell

For you Patti Smith fans - check Garbage & The Screaming Females' cover of Because The Night (live in Texas, but the studio version rocks too)

Southerly: Getting There is Half the Fun, in reply to Paul Campbell,
I was slightly disappointed when we flew into Rome, we queued in the non-EU queue, once we got to the officer he took one look at New Zealand on the cover of the passport and waved us in - no stamp or anything, no official evidence that we were even in Italy. The Chinese guy ahead of us took 5 minutes to get processed though.

Now I feel all left out - we spent 5 weeks travelling from NZ via Sydney, LAX & Miami to Bermuda, then to Gatwick and Rome, and back the same way (all in one hit from Bermuda to NZ -43hrs). LAX was the least favourite airport, but we got thru customs in about half the time we were led to expect. American Airlines was our least favourite carrier, even Jetstar in NZ has a better experience.
But overall, travelling with an 11 & 13 yr old and an 82yr old diabetic nana, it went much better than we had any right to expect.
And now, 5 weeks afterwards, I barely remember the butt-numbing hours of flight, and semi-comatose jetlag - its the sunset over the Seine and the shimmer of the Grand Canal and the pink sands of Bermuda that are fixed in my memory. The slide-show on my PC desktop has no images of airports or customs desks, just canals, beaches, alps and smiling family faces. -
Hard News: Kitchen Hacks, in reply to Gareth,
Obviously there's a gap in the market for a kitchen physics blog...
I use Cooking For Engineers. For all that nerdy cooking goodness...

Hard News: Spread the Noise, in reply to Emma Hart,
Could you then be ensanguinated if you were more optimistic because you were covered in someone else's blood? Positively Tarantinoesque.
