The Wonder Of Your Love
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
The wonder of your love The comfort of your love The breadth of your love I stand in awe and know that you are here. In the sad times and the bad In the sorrow of my pain In the darkness of the night Oh, how I love the presence of my Lord. When fear and terror falls When anger turns to wrath When evil seems to reign You are always there to calm me down.

Geology Picture of the Week, July 26-Aug 1, 2009: Amazing Jeita Grotto
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
I found out about this place because of a news item about the "New 7 Wonders" of the world. It's a nominee. Now, I don't expect that I'll have any travel plans that take me to Beirut, but if for some strange reason I ended up there, I would have to see this place. I think one of the amazing things about the Internet is that it allows us to see places that we'll probably never have a chance to visit. I've posted a lot of those as these Geology Pictures of the Week. I hope I'll get to see...

Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
UNDATED -- The Paul McCartney-Stevie Wonder hit "Ebony and Ivory" tops a new list of the worst duets. BBC Radio Six conducted the poll, seeking listeners' views on the collaborations they like the most -- and least. The 1982 tune is one of two tracks the former Beatle has in the top 10 worst list. "The Girl Is Mine," his duet with Michael Jackson, has the No. 6 spot. Elton John and David Bowie also have two collaborations on the worst list. Elton's "Live 8" performance of "Children of the Revolution" with British rocker Pete Doherty is coming in at...

Wonder Bread run out of California for carbon diox emissions
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
No Wonder... Published On 08-31-2007 , 2:27 PM Gov. Schwarzenegger’s drive to reduce carbon dioxide emissions got a major boost this week when the makers of Wonder Bread announced the total withdrawal of their bread products from Southern California. Interstate Bakeries, the makers of Wonder Bread, Roman Meal, Home Pride and Baker’s Inn breads announced the closure of four bakeries, 17 distribution centers and 19 outlet stores, leaving 1,300 Californians out of work. The iconic breads – that had been staples of Southern California grocery stores since the 1940s – will completely disappear from shelves starting October 20th. The parent...

[Bitpig] Faces And Names
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
Faces And Names I had an interesting day today — maybe the most interesting day of my life. World's Greatest Wife (WGW) and I went to Dr. DNA today on orders from the OB/GYN (henceforth known as "Dr. Uterus"). Mission: genetic counseling, that transparent exercise in medical ass-covery that allows physicians to shrug, hold up their hands in a gesture of innocence, and say "don't blame me" in a court of equity if the kid turns out to have crab claws or something. Seriously, though, the cute "genetic counselor" lady told us about amnio (no thanks), asked us about our...

Nature of the Man (R.I.P Steve Irwin)
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
R.I.P: Steve Irwin's body isn't yet cold and already the Pecksniffs are out, tut-tutting the late crocodile hunter's risky encounters with wild beasts. They miss the point: Irwin's life was about enriching humans. Irwin, who died over the weekend after a freak attack by a stingray, did not live a riskless life. In fact, for those who've watched his Animal Planet shows, some wonder why a fatal encounter hadn't happened earlier. But it's indisputable that he mastered nature with a rare talent — a talent that took him to the edge of possibility. For the sake of the rest of...

Non-Hispanic immigrants wonder what reform means for them
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
Hamid Khan stood out among the Hispanics he marched alongside at a recent immigration protest. When one demonstrator asked Khan where he was from and the reply was Pakistan, the man asked, "'Then what are you doing here?'" Khan was surprised. "I said, 'Look, there are non-Latino groups who are also suffering under these laws,'" said Khan, 49, a commercial pilot and director of an advocacy group called the South Asian Network. Hispanics, the nation's largest immigrant group, are leading the movement to demand a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and defeat legislation that would criminalize them. Khan's experience...

Mary Eaton's defense of illustration as a fine art (with comments by Fred Ross)
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
The article follows... Hi everybody. Have been following the Commercial art=Bad art thread for a couple of days and wanted to throw in my two cents. On the topic of 'commercial illustration=bad art' and Rockwell, Parrish, and N. C. Wyeth, et al. be damned: I can't say I agree. If one has to say that the damning detail of the art was the fact that Rockwell had to accept guidelines as to what he was to paint (i.e. paint Santa having milk and cookies for our December issue of The Saturday Evening Post) so then his art isn't art, but...

CA: Some Wonder if Baca's on Governor's Team
Posted by admin / Under Wonder Pets
Some of Arnold Schwarzenegger's political foes are wondering if Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca is going a bit too far in his support of the governor. On Feb. 6, a plane towing a banner that read "It's No Party for Nurses, Patients and Students — Arnoldwatch.net" flew over Schwarzenegger's Brentwood mansion while the governor hosted a Super Bowl party. Groups representing nurses and consumers have criticized Schwarzenegger's opposition to proposals for expanding healthcare coverage, and they have been angered over what they say is the rollback of safety rules to assure minimum safe staffing in California hospitals. Jerry Flanagan...
