Free-will is free-will, choice is choice, sin is sin, forgiveness is forgiveness ... and (for good measure) love is love.

I don't see how the word "cure" could ever be linked to that which essentially is a matter of choice.

It seems plain to me that, in this life, we are free to do whatever we please with our flesh.

Butofcourse, we are also unavoidably choosing the individual consequences both in the present and the future for that which we do, but hey, "our lives, our choice" so we've got nobody to blame but ourselves if the choices we make are more on the poor side ...

If the pic in the link our Pecan put up is of him then it certainly seems to me that he appears to be in love with his own body so no surprise that his preferences turned out to be of the same gender if not also of the same physique.

Such a fine line between "gayness" and "narcissism", no ? :D

Wow, I'm surprised somebody hasn't taken 7 to task for repeatedly broadcasting that street footage of Jill Meagher.
It's highly offensive to keep flashing it one of their promos for a show.

Edit
Just sent in a complaint re this footage, form online for code of practice breaches and stuff. Interested to see the process and if they do anything.

Paranoid about passwords? Just take a pill

by: John Harlow
From: The Times
June 24, 2013 12:00AM

STRUGGLING to remember your long list of computer or bank passwords? Forgotten your driving licence or company ID card? Now there's a pill for that.

A US phone company is working with doctors to perfect a tiny, swallowable device that stores your codes and ID in your stomach. The pill, which has been approved for medical use by the US Food and Drug Administration, can automatically hook up with smartphones and confirm your identity to an array of devices. It is powered by stomach acid to broadcast encrypted details to code readers on phones or even office doors.

The pill is being championed by Regina Dugan, who has been called "America's smartest engineer".

She was the first female director of the US government's spy technology agency Darpa (Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency) before joining Google's Motorola Mobility division as creative boss last year.

She told a conference last month that Motorola was looking at "ingestibles" as well as "wearables" such as glasses and tattoos to turn the human body into a "wired being".

"People have to authenticate themselves (to machines) on average 39 times a day, or log into their phone 100 times a day, and coming up with hacker-proof passwords has become more insane," said the famously plain-spoken Ms Dugan. "We got to do a lot of epic shit when I was at Darpa, but sorting this out will improve everyone's lives.

"I would take the pill along with my vitamin every morning. It's my first super-power. I want that."

Ms Dugan argues that technology such as the password pill will give people more power over their online lives.

A Motorola source said: "Regina is wearing a tattoo on her lower left arm which has an antenna and sensors embedded in it, broadcasting her security details to her phones. She wants us to program it so the patch can open doors and turn on her car too.

"It's crazy, mad-scientist stuff, blurring the line between man and machine, but it's happening."

The daily pill is based on an ingestible sensor invented by Proteus Digital Health in California five years ago. Made of soluble ingredients, it reads body chemistry and broadcasts data to a medical computer.

Motorola wants to extend the pill's life in the stomach and the range of data it can measure and transmit.

Deem a certain pic of a certain headless chap included ... along with references to Revelation chapter 13.

Isn't it freaky? And the bit where he stops, erk.
Watching I kept thinking those flapping jeans must be a bother, and could even unbalance you - should have more trapeze type/circus stretchy wear surely.
 
those magnificent folk and flying machines ...

... and at least Jane got to do the "slip in sideways with a bang and a crash and yelling w00t what a ride" arrival to the next world

(based upon the film footage which shows that the wing she was on smacked into the ground first, I doubt if she had time to even think "ouch")

Brave lass indeed and I reckon good on her for her sense of adventure ... and surely it is more of a reward than not that she got to go doing what she liked to do ?

Bless ya Jane Wicker and Charlie Schwenker ... and good on ya Charlie for managing to avoid the audience even though it was a case of "game over" for you and Jane !

Barnstorming has been around a loooooong time BTW ... and seems to have been popular with ladies back in the 1920s so there's some equality for ya ! :)

ding dong the witch is ditched

Just got home from work and having a quiet sit and think in the little room and what should i discover ?

The witch has been ditched at long last.

How fitting that i should learn of this while backing one out ! :D

i guess i will be thinking of this particular wonderful day every time i sit down in such a way for some time. :)

[ADIT] Okay, things now flushed, hands now washed, champagne now poured, and I'm back on a real keyboard/puter instead of squinting at an android. :)

The Good News came to me via this link.

Marxist, sexist, racist, emily lister, fabian socialist Julia Gillard shoulda run to the G.G. while she had the chance ... is there anything she can't make a hash out of ? lol.

oh, and ...

Anyhoo ... W00000000000000000T and CHEERS ! :D :D :D :D

oh++ in other news, two of the independants who so betrayed their electorates and helped cause Oz to have the worst and most wastrel government and pm eva, are resigning from politics rather than re-contest their seats.

Clearly they were more or less only in it for the money, yes ?

Laughing at Facebook. People saying Julia lost due to the boys club and biased media. The media part I believe but not sure about the boys club.

A lot of her problems she brought on herself. Had she been a stronger woman like say Margaret Thatcher she might have stayed on longer as leader.
