http://debunkatron.com/Skeptical_12_Step_Program.html

For the fun of debunking, duty of skepticism, and love of science. Skeptical 12 Step Program. A rational alternative to Alcoholics Anonymous's twelve steps by Dr. Steven Novella and George Hrab. Admit that our cognition, perception and memory are flawed, and pseudoscience and gullibility are rampant. Come to accept that the process of thinking critically is more important than any belief.

Sheryl's Scribblings: September 2009

http://noadi-scribbles.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

My ramblings, thoughts, and anything else that does fit on my other blogs. Wednesday, September 16, 2009. So I attended my very first skeptical event over the weekend, the Northeast Conference on Science and Skepticism. In New York City. It was a lot of fun, I got to meet so many great new people. The conference itself had some wonderful speakers and panels. Definitely the highlight of the day for me was the live Skeptics Guide to the Universe. Podcast and George Hrab. Wednesday, September 16, 2009.

Sunday, July 27, 2014. The Courtly Chamber of Fairy Cave. The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin's Bane.". The Lord of the Rings (1954) by J. R. R. Tolkien. And "pari" denoting "fairy". Pari can also mean "stingray". Is that some kind of small mammal? Towering monolithic staglamites taller than houses and covered in vegetation nourished by the ...

http://stargazers-observatory.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Observations on the Cosmos. Sunday, April 15, 2012. When the frame is more interesting than the picture.: "I'm Starved for You" by Margaret Atwood. This is a review for a short story, so it will be a short review. I recently read Margaret Atwood's famous novel The Handmaid's Tale.

In effect, this company has decided that the best way to deal with the gro...

Have Notebook, Will Travel. The disjointed yodeling of a journalistic vagabond. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Doing my part for cultural awareness. Actually, given the size of my belly, that might be one of the first places they look.). After the rousing success of my curry rice recipe. One of the first questions I get about this recipe, especially from the folks back home, is "what makes it Filipino? A slightly sweet condiment derived from bananas. It adds a nice tang to the sauce.
