The Survival of the Weat is at stake
Barbara Kay: "...The survival of the West is at stake: This Islamophilia is urged upon us by omission and commission, and in ways both benign and wicked: from CBC's intelligence-insulting series, Little Mosque on the Prairie, to the singling out of Muslims from other religious groups for government outreach programs, to -- most perniciously-- indulgence by our human rights commissions of hate-filled anti-Western rhetoric by imams, while demonizing heritage Canadians who "offend" Muslims with facts and statistics..." http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2009/09/16/barbara-kay-the-survival-of-the-west-is-at-stake.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage

Unveiled: Amazing interactive 360-degree panoramic view of the entire night sky
"A new magnificent 800-million-pixel panorama of the entire sky has been unveiled online today.
It was stitched together from 1,200 photos by astronomers at the European Southern Observatory from viewing sites in Chile.
The project allows stargazers to explore and experience the Universe as it is seen with the unaided eye from the darkest and best viewing locations in the world.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1213580/Amazing-interactive-360-degree-panoramic-view-entire-night-sky.html#ixzz0RHyNemOG"

Cat Strays 2,400 Miles, Returns Home
Owner, Pet Reunited After 3 Years Apart
HOBART, Australia -- A cat named Clyde was reunited with his owner on Wednesday after a mysterious three-year odyssey in which the long-haired Himalayan strayed 2,400 miles into the Australian Outback.
Ashleigh Sullivan, 19, said she had given up hope of ever finding Clyde after he vanished when he was about one year old from her family home near Hobart city in Australia's island state of Tasmania.
"I'm positive he remembers. He's not acting like he's suddenly appeared somewhere and is frantic," Sullivan said as she tearfully held her contented cat.
A nurse found Clyde wandering at a hospital in the remote Queensland state town of Cloncurry and cared for him for four months before taking him to a local vet as she was leaving town and could not take the cat with her.
The vet, Donna Weber, traced Clyde's owner from an identification microchip that was imbedded under the cat's skin.
But no one has a clue how Clyde managed the 185-mile sea journey across the Bass Strait from Tasmania off mainland Australia's southeast coast, and then about more than 2,000 miles overland to Cloncurry, deep in the arid interior of the Outback.
An animal transport company returned the cat to Hobart for free -- flying most of the way.
"It's pretty special to have him back." Sullivan said. "I'm overwhelmed."

The Most Fearless Animal On Earth
"Meet the honey badger, named “world’s most fearless animal” by the Guinness Book of World Records. Its ferocious reputation stems from the fact that the honey badger doesn’t hesitate to attack animals larger than itself. Scorpions, porcupines, snakes, young gazelles, lions and even small crocodiles – everything’s fair game. No surprise then that it is rarely preyed upon. See for yourself how a honey badger’s day goes by…" http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/most-fearless-animal/14963

New Age Frauds & Plastic Shamans
"Ths site and forum is for those concerned about the fraud, deceit, money hunger, sexual abuse, racism, control, hunger for power and ego, and cult-like tendencies of the New Age movement and pseudo "shamans." We investigate and seek to warn the public about impostors and exploiters posing as Native medicine people or elders. There are more than two hundred impostors out there posing as Cherokee medicine people alone. Multiply that by five hundred Native nations in the US, and add on the exploiters who abuse or lie about practices of Latin America's Indians, and you get an idea of the sheer, massive scope of the problem."http://www.newagefraud.org/
