Gran Turismo 5 Release Discussion, Launch TrailerAs the official PlayStation Blog reminds us, it's been five years in the making, but Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) finally made its official debut today. Many of you will be picking it up and probably have a few things to say about whether or not all that time was put to good use. We offer you this dedicated thread to discuss the high, lows, and all the rest of your impressions from Gran Turismo 5.
Our GT5 review will be little while, though. Our review copy only arrived yesterday. That allowed just enough time to get it installed before the holiday break. For a game that's had so much go into it, and presents such a wide swath of content, we're going to give it a thorough playing before weighing in. In the meantime, here's the GT5 launch trailer which includes several new scenes of racing action in everything from sexy exotics to go-karts.

Angel Governing May 11th to 15th
Angel number 11 - ANGEL LAUVIAH - Energy: VICTORY
(I pronounce the Angel's Name LOW-VEE-AH)
Qualities: Renown, celebrity - Auspicious success - Confidence, enthusiasm, joy - Win out initiations - Exalted love for the success of Divine evolution - Useful and valuable works for humanity.
Distortions: failure, jealousy, pride - extravagant, ambitious, grasping for power - refuses celebrity - mediocre life - wants only to enjoy physical resources - uses trickery to succeed - aims too high or too low.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name LAUVIAH by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke LAUVIAH keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
LAUVIAH is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is May 11 to 15th. LAUVIAH is your Angel number 2 (Emotional) if your Birthday is March 31st, June 13th in the afternoon and June 14th, Aug 28th, Nov 9th, Jan 19th.
LAUVIAH is your Angel number 3 (Intellectual) if you are born: 3h20 to 3h39 a.m.
In the picture of the Tree of Life, this Angel resides: HOCHMAH Specificity HESED

Lucas County Sheriff's Office and several other agencies hit the streets. Each
group of officers had a set of suspects to go after. All the suspects had
felony offenses or warrants for their arrest.
had a list of names and addresses, but the addresses given by suspects weren't
always real, or the suspects were sometimes long gone, so police spoke to
neighbors and residents of the addresses listed to gather information. They

Purchase Reason
I have always wanted to have, at least a print of "Starry Night" in my home. I absolutely love the print I received from Art.com. When I received it and opened it up, I couldn't stop starring at it! The colors are so vibrant and realistic, I couldn't believe it was just a print! I will definitely be ordering more from Art.com as soon as I find more wall space!
Purchase Reason
The packaging for shipment is superb! I had my print mounted on a board and I love it...makes it suitable for any room and mixes well with other works of art!
Purchase Reason
We used this frame for a gallery mock up at a tradeshow and they worked very nicely to fill up the spaces. We found some vintage frames, painted those gold and the whole ensemble was very nicely put together. The prints came in time and exactly as described online. Thank you!
Purchase Reason
This wall art was something someone wanted and I purchased it as a gift. They were very happy with it. It hangs above a love seat. Framed it is 31"x25". It could have gone up another size or two for my visual liking.
Purchase Reason
I love this Van Gogh work and recently went to see it at the MOMA. I took a photo for my records, which was quite accurate as to colors and contrast, by direct comparison. Unfortunately, this item fell short because it was a poor representation of the original, especially the color balance and brightness/contrast. Parts were too dark. Also some edge parts were trimmed from the overall field. I did not return it, but thought to do so. (I had returned two other, different, inadequate items.) Given the high-tech processes used, it eludes me why a better representation of the original cannot be provided. Afterward, I bought a de novo oil on canvas from a Chinese company and found it to be an improvement, albeit still not like the real thing.

Four people have been arrested for holding a mother and her child captive for years in Ashland.
According to the charges, the suspects used beatings, threats of death and threats of attacks from pit bulls and large snakes to hold a woman and her child against their will for two years.
During a Tuesday afternoon news conference, the U.S. Attorney called this "modern-day slavery."
The suspects, Jordie Callahan, Jessica Hunt, Daniel J. Brown and a 4th unnamed suspect allegedly made the woman, whom has a cognitive disability, clean the house, do laundry and yard work.
She and her child were, at times, not allowed to eat and were forced to sleep in a padlocked room on a cement floor.
Investigators say the suspects forced the mother to hit her child and even videotaped it. They claimed they would show it to the police if she ever left.
In October of 2012, the mother stole a candy bar from a Family Dollar while shopping for the suspects. She told police the people at the house were mean. An investigation was launched and officials conducted a raid at the Ashland home on Tuesday.
Officials say the woman and her child were removed from the house several months ago and are recovering.

A closed fracture reduction is resetting a broken bone without cutting into the skin.
Reasons for Procedure
A closed reduction is done to realign pieces of a broken bone. It is done to:
- Allow the bond to heal properly and more quickly
- Decrease pain and prevent later deformity
- Regain use of the bone and limb
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a fracture reduction, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Nerve damage
- Fat particles or blood clots dislodging and traveling to the lungs
- Need for surgery if the bone does not heal properly
- Reaction to anesthesia
The closed reduction may not be successful. Surgery may be needed to properly align the bones.
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Chronic disease such as diabetes or obesity
- The use of certain medications
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- X-ray—to look for the broken bone
- Provide a splint for the broken bone to decrease the risk of additional injury until the fracture can be reduced
Leading up to the procedure:
- You may be given antibiotics if you have an open fracture.
- If you at home arrange for a ride to and from the procedure. Also, arrange for help at home.
- Eat a light meal the night before. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
Your doctor will usually give you local anesthesia to numb the area. You may also be given a sedative.
In some cases, general anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep during the procedure if this is the case.
Description of the Procedure
The bone fragments will be moved into their normal position. Traction will be applied and a cast or splint will be used to hold the bones in place. No incisions are needed.
Immediately After Procedure
Another x-ray will be ordered to make sure the bone is in the correct position.
How Long Will It Take?
This depends on the type and location of the fracture.
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will have some pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You will usually be able to go home after the procedure.
Post-procedure Care
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Rest your injured arm or leg on pillows. Elevate it above the level of your heart.
- Gently move uninjured joints and toes.
- Keep the cast, splint, and dressing clean and dry.
- Wait until a walking cast is dry before walking on it.
- Do not pull out the cast's padding. Do not break off any part of the cast.
- Keep objects, dirt, and powder out of the cast.
- Do not try to scratch under the cast.
- Do not drive until you are told it is okay.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Small bones usually heal in 3-6 weeks. Long bones will take more time. Your doctor may have you work with a physical therapist. A physical therapist can help you to regain normal function. In some cases, you may be able to return to daily activities within a few days while wearing the cast or splint.

Find Franchise Opportunities across Canada
Find a Franchise Business near you
A franchise is a business concept that has been proven to be profitable and is then packaged with training and support so that it can be replicated by another aspiring business owner. It's similar to buying a license to operate under a brand but the advantage of a franchise is that you are not then just left to get on with it. A good franchiser will provide extensive training and on going support to help maximise the possibility of your business being a successful one.
As a franchisee, you will usually have to pay on going service management fees to the franchiser. These are an incentive for the franchiser to help you to be a success since the more successful you are, the more the franchiser will generate in service fees, as they are usually based on a percentage of the money you make. This helps to protect you and builds in room for the franchiser to further develop and market the brand to bring benfits to the entire network of franchisees.
Franchising in Canada
Franchising is very popular in Canada. When considering starting a franchise, make sure you do some research beforehand so that you know what you can afford, where you might like to set up your new business and also what kind of work you might like to do.
There are literally hundreds of franchises available in Canada covering virtually every industry so you are unlikely to be short of choice. The most important thing is to feel comfortable with the franchiser and assured that they want you to be a success in your new business.
As with any business, a franchise will require plenty of hard work. A proven franchise system does give you a head start in terms of reduced risk, but any business requires a lot of dedication, commitment and hard work. Once you have found the right franchise business that suits you and that you believe in, make sure you commit to following the proven system in order to have the best possible chance of success.

Behavioral Drugs May Triple Kids' Risk of Diabetes
(NEWSER) – Anti-psychotic drugs, used to treat behavioral disorders in children, may actually be tripling their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Those who took Abilify, Risperdal, Seroquel, and Zyprexa were three times more at risk than those who took other drugs for the same issues,USA Today reports, via a 12-year study in JAMA Psychiatry. Scarier still: The risk jumps within the first year of taking the drugs and continues up to a year after use, proving it's not just long-term use that's a problem, researchers say.

You need to have a fair bit of patience with a Virgo pet, because these animals can be very picky! Finicky is their middle name, and it only begins at mealtime. Be sure to feed them simple food and to do it at the same time, every time.
The Virgo pet is also prone to hypochondria, so they'll forever be wincing or yelping about this or that. Get used to it! That said, it can be easy to care for this pet if what you need is a stable routine. The Virgo pet will enjoy being walked at the same time every day and will appreciate its usual route, thank you very much. These animals are also neat and clean, so see to it that Kitty's box is as clean as your own bathroom. If not, this pet may soon be trading places!
Other than the basics, the Virgo pet doesn't require much. This animal will not expect new toys, being much more fond of its well-worn staples. They also have a great attention to detail, something which makes them good guard animals. While the Virgo pet can seem demanding at times, it's only because these animals know what they want and are counting on you to give it to them. Keep things simple and consistent, and you'll both be happy!

As neighbors in Durham and Middlefield begin festooning their homes with holiday lighting displays Connecticut Light & Power is sharing some tips to help their customers have a safe and energy-efficient holiday season.
"Over the years, holiday lights have become much more efficient than the old-style bulbs we remember from years past," said Ron Araujo, CL&P's manager of Conservation and Load Management. "With newer technology available in many more options, today's lighting displays can help lower the amount of electricity a family uses and save money."
Light emitting diode (LED) lights, available most anywhere lights are sold, can cost as little as 25 cents to power compared to the six to ten dollars it can cost to power traditional lights over the season. The degree to which your holiday light displays will increase your electric bill varies by the number of lights used and how long they're lit.
CL&P is also reminding customers that a good way to keep bills down without sacrificing the spirit of the season is to use timers on their displays. Making sure your decorations are off before leaving home or going to bed is also a way to cut down on energy use.
The utility offers the following decorating tips for light displays:
- Inspect used lights before plugging them in and discard any lights that are cracked, broken or have frayed or bare wires.
- Use only lights and electric decorations that carry the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety label.
- When decorating outdoors, only use outdoor-approved lighting and look out for overhead power lines before using a ladder. Always stay at least 10 feet away from power lines and anything they touch.
For more tips, check out CL&P's safe holiday lighting video on YouTube.

Amyloidosis and Kidney Disease
On this page:
- Primary Amyloidosis
- Dialysis-Related Amyloidosis
- Hope through Research
- For More Information
- About the Kidney Failure Series
Proteins are important building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins circulate throughout the body in the blood and are normally harmless. Occasionally, cells produce abnormal proteins that can settle in body tissue, forming deposits and causing disease. When these deposits of abnormal proteins were first discovered, they were called amyloid, and the disease process amyloidosis.
In recent years, researchers have discovered that different kinds of proteins can form amyloid deposits and have identified several types of amyloidosis. Two of these types are closely related to kidney disease. In primary amyloidosis, abnormal protein production occurs as a first step and can lead to kidney disease. Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA), on the other hand, is a result of kidney disease.[Top]
Primary Amyloidosis
Primary amyloidosis occurs when the body's antibody-producing cells do not function properly and produce abnormal protein fibers made of antibody fragments. Some people with primary amyloidosis have a condition called multiple myeloma. The antibody fragments come together to form amyloid deposits in different organs, including the kidneys, where they cause serious damage. Injured kidneys can't function effectively and may be unable to remove urea and other wastes from the blood. Elevated levels of these protein fibers can also damage the heart, lungs, brain, and digestive system.
One common sign of kidney amyloidosis is the presence of abnormally high levels of protein in the urine, a condition known as proteinuria. Healthy kidneys prevent protein from entering the urine, so the presence of protein may be a sign that the kidneys aren't working properly. A physician who finds large amounts of protein in the urine may also perform a biopsy—take a small sample of tissue for examination with a microscope—to confirm amyloidosis.
Current treatments are aimed at slowing the progression of amyloid build-up. Combination drug therapy with melphalan, a cancer drug, and prednisone, an anti-inflammatory steroid drug, may improve organ function and survival rates by interrupting the growth of the abnormal cells that produce amyloid protein. These are the same drugs used in chemotherapy to treat certain cancers, such as multiple myeloma, and they may have serious side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue.
Some clinics have reported promising results treating amyloidosis by transplanting the patient's own blood stem cells to replace diseased or damaged bone marrow. The therapy also requires high doses of melphalan, so side effects can be serious. Patients with heart problems may not be considered for this treatment.[Top]
Dialysis-Related Amyloidosis
Normal kidneys filter and remove excess small proteins from the blood, thus keeping blood levels normal. When the kidneys don't work properly, as in patients receiving dialysis, one type of small protein called beta-2-microglobulin builds up in the blood. When this occurs, beta-2-microglobulin molecules may join together, like the links of a chain, forming a few very large molecules from many smaller ones. These large molecules can form deposits and eventually damage the surrounding tissues and cause great discomfort. This condition is called dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA).
DRA is relatively common in patients, especially older adults, who have been on hemodialysis for more than 5 years. Hemodialysis membranes that have been used for many years don't effectively remove the large, complex beta-2-microglobulin proteins from the bloodstream. Newer hemodialysis membranes, as well as peritoneal dialysis, remove beta-2-microglobulin more effectively, but not enough to keep blood levels normal. As a result, blood levels remain elevated, and deposits form in bone, joints, and tendons (the tissue that connects the muscle to the bone). DRA may result in pain, stiffness, and fluid in the joints. Patients with DRA may also develop hollow cavities, or cysts, in some of their bones; these may lead to unexpected bone fractures. Amyloid deposits may cause tears in ligaments and tendons. Most patients with these problems can be helped by surgical intervention.
Half of the people with DRA also develop a condition called carpal tunnel syndrome, which results from the unusual buildup of protein in the wrists. Patients with this condition may experience numbness or tingling, sometimes associated with muscle weakness, in their fingers and hands. This is a treatable condition.
Unfortunately, no cure for DRA has been found, although a successful kidney transplant may stop the disease from progressing. However, DRA has caught the attention of dialysis engineers, who are attempting to develop new dialysis membranes that can remove larger amounts of beta-2-microglobulin from the blood.[Top]
Hope through Research
In recent years, researchers have learned a great deal about kidney disease. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsors several programs aimed at understanding kidney failure and finding treatments to stop its progression.
The NIDDK's Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases supports basic research into normal kidney function and the diseases that impair normal function at the cellular and molecular levels, including amyloidosis. Recently, NIDDK-sponsored researchers have identified several genes that may contribute to a hereditary form of primary amyloidosis. In 2001, a team of researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine located a mutation in the apolipoprotein A-II gene of a patient with kidney damage caused by amyloidosis. The researchers noted that the patient had reabsorbed most of the amyloid. They theorize that learning how this reabsorption occurs may point the way to possible therapies for all forms of amyloidosis. The NIDDK is also supporting multiple efforts to develop a blood detoxification system that will eliminate beta-2-microglobulin.[Top]

Oh, boy. Yes, yes, yes!
When the cool autumn weather arrives my dogs start behaving like puppies again.
They perk up noticeably, zooming out the door for our walks. Sometimes I can hardly keep up with them as they trot enthusiastically ahead of me, excitedly sniffing and sighting the squirrels, and we can go for much longer walks than we do when heat is a factor. (This enthusiasm is usually lacking during the summer months).
Spring and fall are my favourite seasons now. Because when my dogs are happy, I'm happy.

Yes! My dogs are getting extra frisky as the weather cools down (although it hasn't been cooling down too much in Iowa until this week). They get especially frisky as the fall breezes blow through, carrying tantalizing scents. And we all love crunching through the leaves.

"I knew he was dead. When they called and told me he was shot, I knew he was dead, but I was hoping that he was wasn't."
The words are hard for Cleveland Dunkin III to relive, and he chokes up as he tells them to Fox 2's Andrea Isom. But this father's fear of loss was real.
His son, 23-year-old Cleveland "Deangelo" Dunkin III, was killed in a drive-by shooting. Monday evening the younger Dunkin was walking across Braile Street in Detroit near Schoolcraft when a car came speeding through the neighborhood. Neighbors say speeding is not common on that street because everyone knows to watch out for the children that live there.
So, upset by the speeder, the younger Dunkin yelled out. "He said, 'Slow the car down! There's kids on the street!' The [driver] hollered out, '**** you!' And came back around in a different vehicle, from my understanding, and came back [saying], 'What you say *****?' And they had a few words," "Deangelo's cousin, Roosevelt Butler, explains. He says his cousin turned to walk away, but the driver pulled out a gun and fired the shot that killed. Detroit Police say they do have a suspect in custody. "You need to fess up to what you've done because the person who you murdered - he has a family that cares," aunt Shirley Butler says. The elder Dunklin adds, "He's going to answer for what he did, one way or another. He's going to get what he deserves."

By PAUL NEWBERRYAP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons are starting to get questions about perfection.
The Falcons (8-0) have gotten off to the best start in franchise history, but lineman Tyson Clabo points out that they're still only halfway through the regular season, with a number of tough games still to come. That includes a trip to New Orleans on Sunday, plus a December game against the Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
As Clabo says, "Statistically, the chances of that are really slim."
But other players sound more confident about becoming only the second team in NFL history to go 16-0 before the playoffs. Center Todd McClure says "there's no reason" the Falcons can't do it. And receiver Roddy White says he thinks the Falcons "have the pedigree" to run the table.

Insulin for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
The different types of insulin are categorized according to how fast they start to work (onset) and how long they continue to work (duration). The types now available include rapid-, short-, intermediate-, and long-acting insulin.
Injectable insulin is packaged in small glass vials (bottles) and cartridges that hold more than one dose and are sealed with rubber lids. The cartridges are used in pen-shaped devices called insulin pens.
How insulin is taken
Insulin usually is given as an injection into the tissues under the skin (subcutaneous). It can also be given through an insulin pump, an insulin pen, or jet injector, a device that sprays the medicine into the skin. Some insulins can be given through a vein (only in a hospital).
Research is ongoing to develop not only new forms of insulin but also insulin that can be taken in other ways, such as by mouth.
How It Works
Insulin lets sugar (glucose) in the blood enter cells, where it is used for energy. Without insulin, the blood sugar level rises above what is safe for the body. If the cells don't get sugar to use for energy, they try to use other nutrients in the body. When this happens, acids can build up. Too much acid production (ketoacidosis) can be serious or even life-threatening.
Your body uses insulin in different ways. Sometimes you need insulin to work quickly to reduce blood sugar. Your body also needs insulin on a regular basis to keep your blood sugar in a target range.
Why It Is Used
Insulin is used to treat:
How Well It Works
Insulin is effective in reducing blood sugar levels by helping sugar (glucose) enter the cells to be used for energy.
For people with type 1 diabetes
Results of the 10-year Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and the follow-up Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study showed that people with type 1 diabetes who kept their blood sugar levels in a target range had fewer incidences of eye, kidney, and nerve damage from diabetes than people who were on standard therapy. Tightly controlled therapy also lowered the risk of heart attacks and deaths from heart disease.1
Studies have shown that insulin glargine (Lantus) and insulin determir (Levemir) work as well as NPH insulin for controlling blood sugar in people who have type 1 diabetes. Lantus and Levemir cause fewer low blood sugar episodes than NPH, especially at night.2
Side Effects
The major side effect of insulin can be a dangerously low blood sugar level (severe hypoglycemia). A very low blood sugar level can develop in 10 to 15 minutes with rapid-acting insulins.
Insulin can contribute to weight gain, especially in people with type 2 diabetes who already are overweight.
Other possible side effects of long-term insulin use include the loss of fatty tissue (lipodystrophy) where the insulin is injected and, in rare cases, allergic reactions that include swelling, or edema.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
People with type 1 diabetes who tightly control their blood sugar levels using either multiple daily injections or the insulin pump have lower hemoglobin A1c levels and may reduce their risk for small blood vessel complications (eye and kidney disease) compared to people who take one or two injections every day.
The insulin pump provides a way to give insulin with less frequent injections and is as effective as multiple daily injections at keeping blood sugar levels in a target range.
The long-acting insulin glargine (Lantus) may help prevent some people from having frequent nighttime low blood sugar levels. It may also help people who have had difficulty keeping their blood sugar levels in their target range with intermediate-acting insulin.
Giving short-acting insulin at the evening meal and NPH at bedtime instead of giving them together at the evening meal may reduce the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia unawareness.
What can affect insulin
Some things that affect how fast and how well an insulin dose works are:
Things to do
Precautions to take with long-acting insulin
The long-acting insulin glargine (Lantus):
Children with type 2 diabetes
Insulin may be given to a child as a single nighttime dose or as several smaller doses throughout the day.

Hello, I am super excited to be featured today! This is my first Moda Bake Shop design, and I hope you like it. I am Stacey from Maine, and I blog over at Stacey's Place. I sure hope you stop by my blog today to get to know me a little better, and for a special treat (did someone mention giveaway?!?).
5 Layer Cake Pieces, cut as follows:
Snap (or velcro)
- With your interior piece and one small, medium, and large card slot piece, place a large piece on top of the interior piece. Match raw edges. Place a medium piece on top of the large one. Place a small one on top of the medium. Sew a ¼" seam to attach the slots to the interior piece. Repeat on the other side.
- With your strap piece, fuse fusible fleece to the wrong side about 1" in from the edge. Fold your 1" piece wrong side onto the fleece. Fold the other piece in half, and fold again and match to the other side. Edge-stitch down the side, making sure you fold the end under. Edge-stitch and then edge-stitch down the other side.
- Place your exterior piece and your interior piece on top of each other. Make sure the side you are using for the outside of your wallet is on the bottom. Make sure your interior piece is laying with the card slots facing up. In between these two pieces is going to be your money slot.
- This is where I mock fold, to see where the strap goes, and where to place my snaps. On the exterior piece, fasten on the outside (through your side opening) where you want your bottom snap to be located. Follow manufacturer's directions for snaps.
- Now fold your wallet in half and snap together. Adjust your strap to where it looks right. Pin in place.
- All done, now you have a super cute wallet, from a easy and fast pattern, Enjoy!!
1 super cute wallet!

{mosimage}Bill Nye the Science Guy (who won 28 Emmy's for his science TV show), just made a splash in Texas. His lecture at McLennan Community College in Waco Texas received rave reviews from everyone who wasn't angered by his dismemberment of creationism or dissapointment at our government's lack of interest in (and understanding of) climate change and womans viagra resource depletion.
Of all the places to make that stand...Waco Texas...where one mother dragged her three children from the room proclaiming "We Believe in God!" Bill Nye, Represent!

I sure like him better since he got past that "Bill Nye the Scientology Guy" phase.

I can't seem to find any proof of Bill Nye in Scientology. Are you sure? If so I'll have to suddenly hate a childhood hero. :-(
My guess

is that Bill Nye would never have anything to do with scientology. Especially since scientology has nothing to do with science.
