deviantART: The-hEaVEN

Okay apparently Evan Zelig (from Sueric’s series Purity) has a DeviantART account. Blew my mind.

I’m sorry, but really, an account, written seemingly in character for an OC in a fanfic (which is good, btw) seems to be a bit much?

(Yes I’ve read the msscribe story on LJ, why do you ask? And lordy, google her name and LOTS (9960 or so) of links including a story chapter dedicated to her on Schnoogle!)

Edit-7/1/06-the link to a pic Sueric drew and the resulting comments-warning-adult content so one needs a DA account to see, but I think one can see the comments w/o an account

Homeland Security panel boss urges criminal charges against newspapers

The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee urged the Bush administration on Sunday to seek criminal charges against newspapers that reported on a secret financial-monitoring program used to trace terrorists.Rep. Peter King cited The New York Times in particular for publishing a story last week that the Treasury Department was working with the CIA to examine messages within a massive international database of money-transfer records.

Treason for doing their duty? Hmph. Somebodythinks that to be loyal to the US means to to not say a thing if the government does something illegal.

LOL.  Sorry couldn't resist.  I'm trying out Flock and it seems VERY useful for those who live in a media-rich world.  Some minor issues-taking forever to load the favorites list (did a mass import of 3K bookmarks from IE, plus 8k from FireFox {most are duplicates}) and a serious lack of themes, but the default theme is pretty and useful.  It had no problem importing about 1,104 feeds from GreatNews and I really like the news feature they have.  Not to mention the handy-dandy blogging client built-in so I can write a post on the fly, or blog a neat post/site I see while browsing about, plus linking to my flickr account and even sharing my favorites/bookmarks.  

Discardian: Decide to do something about what’s wrong

A second voice giving ideas on how to change the world.  It takes a few vocal people, I think to get the idea that something needs to change.  Hopefully if something is said enough and to enough people, that something will change.  Frankly, we need to do something to improve the world, for it’s not doing too hot on its own.

Recommendations to Improve Preconception Health and Health Care — United States </P><P>A Report of the CDC/ATSDR Preconception Care Work Group and the Select Panel on Preconception Care

Question.

Why should the guidelines be solely for optimal health during pregnancy when those very guidelines should be used to promote general health and well-being?    Not every woman wants or is going to be pregnant, but it would be better to be healthier in general.

I was trying to fix some ill-written links so pictures actually show up and my sidebar keeps getting reset to its default look. Quite irritating. I see they are doing maintenance tonight so perhaps it will be fixed soon.
