Controling Behavior Comes With Understanding...

"The emotional and physcial intimacy of the _________-_______ relationship may lend itself to these sexual feelings."
~Bickley

Our sexual desires arise from the strong intimacy we share...

The root of sexuality is intimacy...

Without intimacy, there's no emotion; no emotion = dead soul
= DEATH!

Ohhh... the human touch!

UK “Experts” Discount New Ultrasound Images of Unborn for Abortion Debate Say images showing pre-born stretching, kicking, sucking thumb are “dangerous”
By Gudrun Schultz

LONDON, United Kingdom, October 4, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com ) - Startling images of tiny unborn babies sucking their thumbs and “walking” at 12 weeks gestation have no significance for the abortion debate, according to a trio of experts in the neonatal field, the Times Online reported today. Responding to the recent debate, triggered by the images, on lowering the gestational age for legal abortions --currently set at 24 weeks--the experts said the images do not prove unborn babies have feelings.

The images are the result of new developments in ultrasound technology, led by Professor Stuart Campbell, former professor of obstetrics and gynecology at King’s College, London. The four-dimensional images allow viewers to witness details of the unborn child’s activity previously hidden to researchers.

Babies can be seen stretching, kicking and leaping at 12 weeks, making intricate finger movements at 15 weeks, and yawning at 20 weeks, the Guardian reported. Babies at 18 weeks gestation were shown opening their eyes.

Prof. Campbell, now head of the fertility clinic Create Health Clinic, said he had seen an image of a child at 18 weeks making a “crying” face, a revelation of potential feeling in the unborn which he says must be examined further.

“This is just a piece of evidence. It’s not proof but you can’t just dismiss this.” Dismissing the images, however, is just what some neonatal experts say should happen. Calling them “dangerous,” the authorities said immaturity of the unborn children’s brain functions was not addressed by the revelation of early controlled movement.

“The temptation is to associate foetal movements with adult movements - it’s sucking its thumb because it’s happy, it’s walking because it’s going somewhere,” Donald Peebles, a feotal medicine consultant at University College London said. “I think it’s that step which is extraordinarily dangerous. I don’t think in scientific terms these shed any new light whatsoever on the debate.”

“Personification of the fetus at that age is dangerous,” said Huseyin Mehmet, reader in developmental neurobiology at Imperial College London. “I was worried when I saw those images. To suggest that an early fetus in utero has those kind of human qualities of being able to suck its thumb and move…is very difficult indeed.”

A third, John Wyatt, professor of neonatal paediatrics at University College Hospital, London, said the images would not have an impact on the understanding of neuroscience, despite admitting that science “will never know at what point foetal consciousness and awareness start.”

News...

Finals!!, Shootings in Citigroup, Chicago!!, Groom-to-be Sean Ball dead in Queens!!, James Kim's body found in icy water after walking for 16 miles in the snow on tennis shoes to save his family!! Ayi yai yai... What a hero though! I can't wait till the mush is over! I guess I better buy some snow boots for the snowboarding trip this weekend and watch out for kids who vandalized any locked gates!!! I've never been before, so kinda anxious (gulp!), but haven't seen Sunaina and Ankosh since their wedding so should be nice to see them again. Arjun's b-day party on Sunday and then can't wait to see "Pari" and "Parina" on Sunday night, Heena's Goddaughters, whom she named after me... :-)

I will pray for your little girls, James. You are a brave man...















James, Penelope, and Sabine

Has this ever happened to you?

You GO GIRL!

With Ganesh, the Gita and samosas, Sunita Williams heads for the stars... (She is the 2nd Astronaut of Indian-Origin and 6th Woman to go into Space!) :-) "Discovery is scheduled to land Dec 21 at the Kennedy Space Centre. It will bring back to earth German Thomas Reiter of the European Space Agency in place of Williams who will spend six months at the International Space station along with a Russian and an American astronaut."

Pain ---> Anger + Hatred

What do you do when the one that causes you so much pain is the only one that can make it go away? Coming near causes grief and staying far is torment. Clutching the pain, I often fall to the floor. Sometimes it gets so unbearable that when I try to breathe, I feel myself trying to come up and gasp a breath of air in the cold, vast ocean, only to keep getting sucked back in. Crying to sleep seldom works; the tears dry out and all you're left with is this sharp knife-like pain stabbing over and over again into your wet wound. What happened to the happy days? The days filled with thoughtless laughter, glint-filled gazes, and mischievous fun? Now, I lay here, my innocence gone, my trust stolen, and my heart broken... TLOML, starry eyes I have no longer but now just empty darkness... Without a soul, without a purpose, not a drop of love but just a whole lot of pain churning into a venom that poisons me with anger and despair...

Pearl Harbor...

Please take a few minutes of silence today to remember those who died on Dec 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor.

"At 7.55am [PST] on Sunday 7 December 1941, the first of two waves of Japanese aircraft began their deadly attack on the US Pacific Fleet, moored at Pearl Harbor on the Pacific island of Oahu. Within two hours, five battleships had been sunk, another 16 damaged, and 188 aircraft destroyed. Only chance saved three US aircraft carriers, usually stationed at Pearl Harbor but assigned elsewhere on the day. The attacks killed under 100 Japanese but over 2,400 Americans, with another 1,178 injured."

In total, WWII Japan counted 1.75M killed/missing and 350k civilian deaths, 214k from the atomic bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Beginning of a New National Trend?

NYC has banned all trans fat from restaurants starting July 2008. Could be a new national trend similiar to the smoking ban.

Don't Drink and Drive!

I just found out that one of my favorite students from the summer was recently in an accident. The seventeen year old boy was driving home in the country side area around 11 at night and a drunk truck driver was swerving behind him. He hit him and continued driving his truck.

His car flipped 8 times over vast fields before it finally stopped. He lost consciousness. When he came to, he was in pain, his left eye bloody, unable to move his waist or his legs, he crawled out of one of the doors and continued crawling for 2 miles before he got help.

It's been on the news and I wanted to acknowledge it here as well.


Please don't drink and drive! Or if you're sleepy!

Stay off the road before you go off the road and take someone else's life with you!

Moist...

I remember reading about certain African tribes, where it's the women's job to hunt while the men nurse the young; I believe one of the tribes is the Aka. Anyway, I came across an interesting journal article that I wanted to share:

Very interesting perspective on cultural difference:

"But back to that male breastfeeding: Jack O'Sullivan of Fathers Direct says he was invited on chat show after chat show on Monday in the wake of the report going public, and faced a mixture of horror, consternation and support. "Some fathers phoned in to say they'd let their child suck their nipples - often it had just happened when the baby was lying on their chest in bed," he says. But some people were disgusted: the words "child abuse" came up more than once, which points up interesting cultural differences when you think that, to Aka folk, much of the way we raise our kids would count as child abuse to them (babies being left to sleep alone in a different room from their parents, for example). "

Reminds me of what we abhor as cannibalism--was simply ritualistic behavior for the people of New Guinea and a cultural custom to eat the mushy brains of their dead enemy. I doubt that they would still consider themselves mighty powerful after developing signs of Kuru though... Didn't Sir Lancelot practice the same?

How many people can say this?

Santa Claus had come in to bleach his hair and beard white at the salon where I went to get my up-do for my post-birthday dinner; he sat a chair away...

I think he might get me what I want for Christmas this year...

My three Cunts...

My favorites from the Urban Slang Dictionary:

3) 5. cunt

The word cunt is only insulting to Americans and over zealous feminists who don't realise its beauty.


It has almost replaced the word 'mate', often used in Australia to refer to people in a conversation when they can't be bothered trying to remember your name.

Sick Aussie Cunt: Sup cunt?
American feminist: I find that insulting
Sick Aussie Cunt: Piss off

Sick Aussie Cunt 1: Sup cunt?
Sick Aussie Cunt 2: Nothing much, cunt.


2) 6. cunt

The tastiest meal known to man.

I love eating her cunt...


1) ...and my #1 absolute fav...

Money Money Money...

Can you believe he got $36,000 on NBC's show, "1 versus 100", for knowing that a gigabyte is bigger than a kilo or a mega byte!!! Ugghh... That and then using up 2 "helps" from the mob, (which looked like it was filled with people who had penis at 12 syndrome), for the question that asked, which country doesn't border with the country that Borat is from... Egypt, China, or Russia? Uffie... walked away with $156,000 and I've burned my ass in school for the past 2+ years, attaining that much in debt!
