As found on BigIssue by LAURA KELLY: "Nothing will ever match up to being the Doctor," David Tennant has told The Big Issue. Speaking to the magazine ahead of the release of his Christmas movie Nativity II: Danger in the Manger, the Scottish star said that when he left Doctor Who he was well aware that the experience was irreplaceable. “You might have real success doing something else, you’ll work on other things, but whatever happens, this…

It is sad. It is very sad. And this is all it takes for a madman to create havoc, end the lives of so many innocents. Why are these things allowed? I often hear it is not the gun that's the problem, but the person carrying it. But when it is so obvious that there are people with such a problem, isn't it the sanest and simplest thing to make sure they can't get to…

I switched window-managers. After setting up Ubuntu 12.04 I went with Unity for a while, did not feel okay with that and moved to Xubuntu. That was not the real deal either so I went back to Unity with which I made a kind of peace. Then I read about Cinnamon on the blog of a techie friend of mine. Basic ingredients for setting up Cinnamon on Ubuntu (12.04, should also work for 12.10): sudo…

On her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet.

Yes, as you may have guessed, this post is about music. For me music is an important part of life. Without music (and my writing) life would not be life as I now know it, and much less valuable. This post is about 2 ladies I discovered through the marvel called Internet. They are twins and they both play harp, and their names are Camille and Kennerly. Many people will perhaps stop reading here, but…

His name: Nicholas. Original texts have disclosed that the patron saint of children refer to Nicolas of Myra, Myra was the capital of old Lycia - now known as Turkey - where he…

Studies Show Microwaves Drastically Reduce Nutrients In Food By Ed Bauman, PH.D. - GreenMedInfo I can remember the days growing up in the 1950′s and 1960′s, when we prepared foods without a microwave oven. Water was boiled on the stove. Chicken was baked in an oven. Vegetables were steamed, baked, or sautéed. Food was whole and fresh. Even a TV dinner was baked in the oven, which took about 15 minutes to warm. And then, modern science and…

No outlet. Says you!

The elevation of Tianmen Mountains is 1518.6 meters (the highest one in Zhangjiajie); people may feel amazing that about 40 peaks inside the mountain area are over 1000 meters. Due to the high elevation of the mountain, the day time is longer than the night hours and the temperature on the mountains is about 10 degree centigrade lower than the Zhangjiajie city, the sunrise on the mountain is 30 minutes earlier and the sunset is…

(Via The Daily Nexus) Posted by Chris Nebergall on November 13, 2012 at 10:58 am Whether or not you know anything about “Star Trek,” you’ve probably heard of the warp drive, that fictional technology that can fling a starship light-years away in mere minutes, opening up the universe to our exploration. If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ve got the hyperdrive. It sounds like strict science fiction, and it is, but what if I told you that…
