..sunscreens don't defend nearly as well against the UVA rays that penetrate deep into the skin and are more likely to cause skin cancer and wrinkles. ..
..the best protection against UVA .. includes zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or avobenzone. [there is a 'transparent' zinc oxide sunscreen with 'nanoparticles' but I cant source it]

JPII has struck from beyond the grave, his orders for a more Latinate mass are obeyed.
"The Lord be with you/And with your spirit."
Sounds fine to an old altarboy
"Liturgiam authenticam, was a turning point in the process. It said that in any translation "great caution is to be taken to avoid a wording or style that the Catholic faithful would confuse with the manner of speech of non-Catholic ecclesial communities or other religions."
- So the process seems to be: those nasty Hillsong types pack in thousands, so lets NOT be anything like them. Popularity is so vulgar.

Rayed Mohammed Abdullah Ali, was admitted to New Zealand in February on a student visa..
on May 29 police and immigration officials raided Ali's Palmerston North home and deported him.
..Ali had lived and trained in Phoenix, Arizona, with fellow Saudi Hani Hanjour.. Hanjour is believed [sic] to have piloted American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon..
....Abdullah was a leader at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Phoenix where, the FBI says, he "reportedly gave extremist speeches at the mosque".
..Abdullah attended the same Phoenix flight school as Hanjour and the pair used a flight simulator together on June 23, 2001.

Evil Lord threatens our world:
12Jun06
..Browne, BP's chief executive, .. .."It is very likely that, in the medium term, prices will stand at about $40 .. In the very long run, even $25 to $30 are possible," ..little likelihood of prices dropping back sharply in the short term but dismissed notions that the price could only go up as scarcity increased. Large new oilfields were still being found, he said..
He also noted that Canada's oil sands could also be exploited profitably...
BP has so far kept away from these "unconventional" oil projects but Shell has been investing enthusiastically in the tar schemes of Alberta, Canada, buying up companies engaged in such output.
[Browne was spouting that $40 line last November.. stuck in a time-warp?]
This is such evil crap, this man is one of the leading Life-destroyers, he should be shot immediately
Tar sand oil makes twice the CO2 than Saudi oil. Add that to oil-from coal and we have a double whammy,
expensive, dirty fuel. Browne may well be correct one day, when world-wide economic collapse renders any industrial fuel irrelevant.
"as consumers sought cheaper energy sources" (bend over and smell the methane?)

Oriana, will she survive her trial? Has she become a dreadful old bat?

“If I’m alive, I will go to my friends in Carrara—you know, where there is the marble. They are all anarchists. With them, I take the explosives. I make you juuump in the air. I blow it up! With the anarchists of Carrara. I do not want to see this mosque—it’s very near my house in Tuscany. I do not want to see a twenty-four-metre minaret in the landscape of Giotto.

Backup Your Blog:
HTTrack seems to work.:
I ran for 30 mins yesterday, then I restarted today. It has a weird UI display, which flits about without explanations.
Today it seemed to be spending a lot of time getting something from bahai-lib.
Now my blog has never mentioned Bahai, so I wonder if this is a (beneficent?) way that HTTrack has of 'spreading' the Bahai faith?. I halted HTTrack, and my oldest and newest blog posts are present, so I am puzzled. Why Bahai?
...
more on HTTrack:
good news! my older entries tried to link to pics in 'webshots', but webshots seemed to resist links. But HTTrack has grabbed those pictures! so the backup beats the original!
[my guess is that webshots wants eyeballs on its ads, so it refuses 'hotlinks' but allows 'downloads'.
I once got a complaint from a website about hotlinking pictures. The owner accused me of 'wasting' his 'bandwidth' which is absurd - a website is there to be seen. What I guess he really meant is "if you dont enter via my home page I dont get eyeballs on my ads"]
..
thanks weblensblogs

Chemical Breasts:

.. girls who were fairly well developed with absolutely no mammary glands.”
Sonoran Mayan girls whose mothers were exposed to chemical spraying. They did not develop the ability to produce milk, unlike their counterparts who lived a more organic lifestyle..
..two population .. 50 miles apart
While breast size was much larger in the girls in the valley, they had much less mammary tissue, and sometimes none at all, than the girls in the foothills, Guillette said.
Mammary tissue could not be palpated in about 19% of the girls from valley towns who showed signs of breast development. In contrast, none of the girls from the foothills who had reached this stage lacked mammary tissue.
.. probably [sic] transferred from the mother before birth [this doesnt seep to be definite proof]

A new study in an old mining village in Kyrgyzstan has shown that villagers are unwittingly eating radioactive waste in their chickens, milk, potatoes and pears - at doses 40 times the recommended safe limit. What’s more, if the uranium waste dumps were dislodged by landslides or earthquakes, thousands more could be in danger.

Europe's human rights watchdog the Council of Europe, found that at least 14 European nations had colluded in a "global spider's web" of secret CIA jails and flight transfers of terror suspects across the globe.
..prepared by Dick Marty, a Polish senator, examined flight logs, air traffic reports ..planes linked to the US intelligence agency and carrying suspects had stopped in Romania and Poland, probably to drop off detainees.
A total of 14 European countries - Britain, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Bosnia, Macedonia, Turkey, Spain, Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Romania and Poland - were listed as being involved in the "unlawful inter-state transfers" of people.
Some, including Sweden and Bosnia, already have admitted some involvement.
