Ephemeral. Ok, so I have a couple. First, Ephemeral, simply because the best things are. Also, as an antiques dealer, Ephemera is what I deal in -- primarily paper goods and advertising that were never meant to be kept long. http://www.myfavoriteword.com/E.html

The FDA classifies the TG enzyme as GRAS or “generally recognized as safe,” and it's also approved by the USDA. That said, the USDA approves the use of neurotoxins (MSG, aspartame, fluoride ), pesticides and herbicides, and growth hormone and antibiotic-injected meats. Bacterial Contamination : When multiple pieces of meat are globbed together (potentially from different animals and multiple countries), this can be a hazard. “If there is a bacteria outbreak, it’s much harder to figure out the source when chunks of meat from multiple cows were combined,” says Keith Warriner who teaches food science at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.

New Year’s Resolutions the Buddha Might Have Made

The Buddha's teachings were transmitted from generation to generation orally for about five centuries. They were then written down in what are referred to as the Buddha's discourses. In presenting these New Year's resolutions, I've taken the liberty of putting some of his words into the first person and adjusting the language in a few places so the text reads as resolutions. The content is true to his discourses. This is a shortened passage from a well-known discourse called the .

Pinterest - The 50 Best Websites of 2011

The basic idea behind Pinterest — which lets you create and share collections of stuff you like in any category you choose — has been tried before by start-ups that didn't make much of a mark. This time it might take off. Pinterest makes the process painless by offering a Pin It button that lets you grab pictures of your favorite things as you browse the Web. http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2087815_2088159_2088155,00.html
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/turning-straw-gold/201201/in-defense-facebook I've been reading a lot of articles lately about how Facebook is bad for my mental health. The online magazine, ran one titled, " The Anti-Social Network ," which said that "by helping other people look happy, Facebook is making us sad." In her recent article at " How to Quit Facebook ," Jen Kim said: "The site is filled only with perpetually happy status updates, accomplishments, joyful puppy and baby pictures as well as expertly cropped photos—all of which exude an ostensible super-happiness that is clearly impossible to sustain." In another piece, " Social Media Makes Me Feel Bad About Myself ," Jennifer Garam said: "On Facebook and Twitter, everything is always wonderful for everyone and all their lives are amazing." I'm not questioning or disputing these writers' personal experiences on Facebook.

In Defense of Facebook

In May of 2001, I got sick with what the doctors thought was an acute viral infection. But I didn't recover. As the months went by and I didn't get better, I felt as if I'd entered a parallel universe that I didn't know existed. One reason this universe is largely invisible is that many people living with chronic pain or illness don't look any different from those around them. We simply don't look sick or in pain. I should qualify that.

The Challenges of Living with Invisible Pain or Illness

Just in case anyone still harbors illusions on this score, the answer is “Yes, the federal government is definitely spying on social media.” In the latest development, a group of online privacy advocates is suing the Department of Homeland Security for failing to release records of its online spying -- which isn’t terribly surprising, considering that it’s not really spying anymore if everyone knows what you’re doing. The DHS has admitted in a public statement that it creates profiles to monitor “publicly available online forums, blogs, public websites, and message boards,” including social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, in what is known as the “Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and Situational Awareness Initiative.” The aim is to “to provide situational awareness” for the federal, state, and local governments; the DHS “may also share this de-identified information with international partners and the private sector where necessary and appropriate for coordination.”

Zionism

Flag of Israel, the flag was adopted as the symbol of the Zionist Movement in the 1890s. Zionism ( Hebrew : ציונות ‎, Tsiyonut ) is a form of nationalism of Jews and Jewish culture that supports a Jewish nation state in the territory defined as the Land of Israel . Zionism supports Jews upholding their Jewish identity, opposes the assimilation of Jews into other societies and has advocated the return of Jews to Israel as a means for Jews to be a majority in their own nation, and to be liberated from antisemitic discrimination, exclusion, and persecution that had historically occurred in the diaspora .
