Virtual Iraq for traumatized vets

May 21, 2008 1:25pm

for #11

It is no miracle cure it is real and it works, check it out as around. My youngest brother suffered from PTSD and he did the procedure and is now much better. It does sound like it is too good to be true, but it WORKS.
PTSD is a stress related issue. In aforementioned light therapy light is flashed into your eyes. AT first in a very regular patterns, that slowly become more and more erratic, thus it slowly desensitizes the subject to stress. Talk to your psych, try it what can it hurt?

Virtual Iraq for traumatized vets

May 21, 2008 11:32am

My mother (and sister-in law)is a psychologist who is trained in a method of therapy that uses intermittent pulses of light to help cure people who are suffering from PTSD. This method takes mere days and does not make the patient have to revisit their trauma to "desensitize" these poor veterans. There is no need for weeks and months of therapy and the vet does not have to say a word, just sit relax.

What happened to the woman in the memorial tat? Did she become a zombie? She looks as though she should be mumbling "braaainssss".

The legend of Mall Ninja

May 17, 2008 11:56am

Well,,, that guy is lying his arse off! A H&K PSG-1 Costs between $12000-15000 dollars and the U.S.is restricted to importing 400 rifles a year. They are owned primarily by wealthy collectors not mall "Ninjas".

Experts outraged that Wii Fit calls children "overweight"

May 17, 2008 11:51am

Really what is wrong with using the word "overweight"? Could be worse. I am all for being nice but please if "overweight" has become taboo for the chubby set might as well IV in the soda and give up.
I do agree that BMI is stupid, (me, I am 6'4" 240# with a BMI of 22ish and can not "pinch an inch"), but there has to come a time when you can no longer pull punches no matter how much you love your child if he/she is getting a bit round send them out to play with a nudge. If your child is overweight not telling them does not make them thinner, you don't have to call them fatty fatty fat fat, but a "I think you are getting a little overweight" couldn't hurt if you are smart/loving enough to be supportive.

Conversation sounds like it's turning into a Schrodinger's cat scenario.

I believe that Occam's razor fits this story. It is more likely that the child has micro sleep episodes than no sleep at all. While evolution occurs with each and every new generation, the steps needed to "re-wire" the poor child's brain would be near insurmountable.

US patent judges aren't actually patent judges -- "catastrophic" mistake

TSA screener who smuggled a gun into the airport is still on the job

April 25, 2008 9:01am

How does his transgression ,(and obvious law breaking), fall under "privacy"? If you break the law which he did, it enters the realm of public knowledge and is NO longer private. Equal protection under the law only goes so far these days I guess.

Starving people in Haiti eating mud

April 18, 2008 7:16pm

Everyone here has forgotten/overlooked the Catholic Church's stance on limiting childbirth. Unless I am wrong Haiti because it was a French Colony was forced into Catholicism by their captors. This is by itself hard to over come then add to it the age old tradition of large families to support their elders in their dotage.

Education and an honest Government in Haiti might be the long term answer, but for now stop biofuels and distribute foods at a local level.

My Flying Spaghetti Monster! I never thought about it that way before, that is how I see the world around me! As long as I can remember I look for tricks, hacks, venerabilities in everything (drives my wife crazy). Always thinking of ways to beat other's securities and systems, almost a game to me. Good thing I am a nice guy and not Darth Cheney!

"White nose syndrome" wiping out bats in the Northeast US

April 8, 2008 12:50pm

I read about this in NYtimes. Looks like the end for several species of bat. I certainly hope they come up with some ideas soon as this could help malaria spread even faster in the U.S..
(not to mention the fun children would miss by tossing socks with tennis balls trying to "catch" a bat)

Bush administration: Fourth Amendment doesn't apply to domestic military operations

April 2, 2008 11:52am

Thank you #9~!
That is why there is the second Amendment, so that We the American people can rise up and overthrow an unjust ruler sic. G.W. Bush. So when the end of his term is neigh and he formally declares martial law and suspends the election, we can rise up and slay his illegal government!

Building Stonehenge by hand, with gravity and sticks

March 31, 2008 8:54am

And to think how much time and effort has been spent on trying to figure this out. Just think of the ramifications! How could his methods be used in modern green building and construction? Sure there are limitations but you could work around them to be sure.

British Airways loses 15-20,000 bags since Thursday at supremely b0rked Heathrow Terminal 5

March 29, 2008 2:01pm

Are you sure that all of this is for security? Maybe just maybe the terrorists have suplanted the true security at Heathrow and this is just a build up to complete world domination? The millitant Islamists are hoping that all the pasengers will commit suicide rather than sit through the incredible wait and stupidity just to loose their Ipods and skis. We will find out which whenever the person incharge of security gets a giant raise or a boot in the arse.

California asks for Real ID extension, but won't promise to comply

March 20, 2008 8:29pm

Fuck the DHS!
This crap really needs to stop! Any 12 yr old will have the necessary tools to break this I.D. Not to mention our economy is tanking, the billions that are taken away to pay for this lunacy could be better spent on a W.P.A. style program! Boondoggles and morons

March 15, 2008 1:40pm

#7 Chris has it right. Even under a Democrat I see liberty shrinking at the very least it will stay right where it is. Ask yourself, when was the last time a ruler gave up a power that their predecessor had? Bet you it was never, it is already an established power, why give it up? If good ole Ralphy gets the job then maybe. Klinton, or Borrat will enjoy their new power just as much as Bush.

Sea Cucumber Inspires Polymer That Goes Floppy When Wet

Creationist dioramas at kids' science fair

February 26, 2008 6:17pm


It is not the size and quality of the brain that makes this type of person viable as a sub-species. It is their need/willingness to group together in large numbers for safety and ignorance. If these "people" where to leave the safety of their own tribes and attempt to co-exist with rational people, they would thankfully disappear to the annals of time. They at best would serve as a good test group for Darwinian study much like the Galapagos finches.

TSA at LAX still requiring air travelers to remove all electronics?

February 14, 2008 7:34am

If given a great deal of time on our hands I think that a National "fly with no ID-day" should be called. It's still legal to fly within the U.S. without ID, why not try it en masse and watch TSA meltdown completely? Cavity searches for all!

Hopefully the woman in the article will use the proceeds from her lawsuit to pay for the hospital stay.

On a side note, it was once stated America would need a revolution every times to keep the government honest...I think we are a bit overdue.

January 21, 2008 3:31pm

Sorry #15 rising food prices will not lead to lower rates of obesity. Being "Fat" will become a thing of status. There are groups that already purchase many items just to look wealthy, why not kill others to become obese?

Brett is correct on that, back in 1994 Quitron's band then Math played at my apartment in Grand Rapids MI, he used one there. Quintron is a Drumming mad man, awesome! When I moved to New Orleans in 1995 there was a VHS for sale at a local shop that showed you how to make one, should have bought one then,,,
