KNIGHT OF SWORDS
From:Carissa
The knight of swords, in a word, is "Change". This is a young man that is always ready for anything. He's not your nice little boy-- he's been in plenty of fights. He is outspoken and sometimes imprudent with his words and actions, which gets him in trouble. He can be quick to react and impulsive, almost childish in his emotions.
He hates to be still and is always in motion. He needs change. He gets bored easily. He has extreme and strong opinions but they are changeable. He can be clever and loves to start new adventures, follow new ideas and experiences. Rarely, however, does he stick with anything...he lacks the persistence and is too easily bored. This is a guy who can't be tied down.
As for romance, he is said to be a "Master and charmer of women." He is that irresistible tough guy that can't quite be possessed, that every woman wants to tame...he's charming, exciting, a little bit dangerous...this is the hero of almost every romance novel.

I know him!!!! He rides a Harley! I fell in love with him a while back!! :-) ! You did an excellent job on this card. Very good! The KnS is a Gemini, and change is what this sign is all about.

Studies show how chemotherapy damages brain cells - Yahoo! News
Studies show how chemotherapy damages brain cells - Yahoo! News: "The drugs killed more brain cells than tumor cells, they report in Thursday's issue of the Journal of Biology, published by BioMed Central."
This is exactly what I've been telling people. I have lost hours and maybe even days from chemo. The cure is worse than the disease!

The Sun Online - News: Killer fairies caused four deaths
The Sun Online - News: Killer fairies caused four deaths
Killer fairies caused four deaths
By GARY O'SHEA
November 30, 2006
FOUR people buried 450 years ago in an English parish had been scared to death by FAIRIES, a historic document has revealed.
Seven were “bewitched” and one was led to a pond to drown by a will o’ the wisp — a ghostly light.
They are among the causes of death in the burial register for the parish of Lamplugh in Cumbria between the years 1656 to 1663 — which even recorded that “Mrs Lamplugh’s cordial water” claimed two lives.
Details were revealed yesterday after it was found in the county’s archives — showing that 17th-century England was a deeply superstitious and often brutal place.
Archivist Anne Rowe said: “I’ve never come across anything like this.
“These were insecure social times and many folk in the 17th century would have been scared of fairies and will o’ the wisps with many a natural death being put down to the evil witchcraft of a harmless old widow.”
The manuscript, a later copy of the original, was found in Whitehaven during a national local history campaign.
It claims four people were “frighted to death by faries” while another died after being “led into a horse pond by a will of the whisp’.
Three “old women” were drowned for witchcraft. Seven men were hanged for “clipping and coyning” — counterfeiting money — one man “broke his neck robbing a hen roost” while others died following the popular pursuits stag hunting, cockfighting and bull baiting.
A drunken duel “fought with frying pan and pitchforks” killed another man, while a second using “a 3-footed stool and a brown jug” as weapons claimed another.
However, the most common cause of death was old age, claiming 57. Eleven died after they “took cold sleeping at church’ — a dig at the length of the rector’s sermons, said local expert Anne.
She said the document was genuine but might not be “entirely serious”.
She added: “I’m not sure whether to attribute this list to our ancestors’ superstitions — or sense of humour!”

I resent being lumped together with al Queda, devil worshippers (who are only back door Christians), and gangs! Especially gangs! But, what can I say? This guy Knox is showing his ignorance just by opening his mouth.
CNN.com - Street gangs get Web-savvy - Jul 6, 2006: "'In order to understand any subculture, be it al Qaeda, witches, devil worshippers or gangs, you have to be able to know their own language,' Knox said."

State offers new guidelines on oral-suction circumcision
State offers new guidelines on oral-suction circumcision:
"The centuries-old practice, called metzizah bi peh or metzitzah b'peh, involves a mohel using his mouth to suction blood from the wound after the foreskin is removed. The ritual is performed by Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox Jews.
Most other Jewish mohels wear surgical gloves and use sterilized instruments to perform the circumcision rite. Many other mohels who perform the oral part of the ritual use a medical tube to suction the blood, several rabbis have said."

New story
I just submitted a new article to gather.com.
http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976763859
Have you ever experienced something ordinary in an extraordinary way?
This story is about taking a shower in the dark. An everyday task that
somehow seems unusual when done in a different manner.
Anyway, comments and opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Kittin
PS.. if the link doesn't work, or if the site wants a log in, or some
other weird circumstance, let me know, please.

life, explained
On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the
door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For
this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten
years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people,
do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year
life span."
The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long
time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?"
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the
field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have
calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will
give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for
sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry
and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and
the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch
and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.

Exercise and Mood Treatment
Exercise and Mood Treatment: "Why don't more people exercise?"
Let me tell you what goes through my mind when I try to exercise.. "one. What is that on the floor? I need to vacuum. .. Two. Before I vacuum, I need to dust. .. Three. I want to get that shelf put up today. .. Four. The kids will be out of school in a couple of hours. .. Five. I need to get lunch made before the kids come home. .. Six. What am I doing? I have tons of work to do. Why am I wasting time on this??"
Take that. Multiply it by infintiy.. well, we all know the quote. ..
