does this mean anything?
A son was born to Obama Sr. in 1961 in Kenya, according to
the British National Archives. It’s basically there, in black and
white… But does it really mean anything?
Have a look.

anonymous tip from neighbor and then this?
Ok, the supreme court affirmed in Florida back in 2000, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_v._J._L. , that an anonymous tip IS NOT sufficient evidence for search.
So why is this justifiable?

steam’s corner: a comment left on an e-cig hit piece by yours truly
Dr. Choi,
Although nicotine is an addictive substance, so is caffeine. If you ask serious coffee drinkers, you’ll find that they can’t go without their coffee. In small amounts, nicotine is no more dangerous than a can of soda or a cup of coffee. You should know that being a “PhD, MPH”. The question is, is nicotine a carcinogen or hazardous to one’s health? Answer, no and not really. These you should know too. I am not a doctor but I do know that nicotine and caffeine can elevate heart rates. Is that dangerous? Maybe to some but not to most.
Now apparently you haven’t spent much time in researching your answers because if you had, you would have learned that the “anti-freeze” was found in only ONE cartridge and in an extremely small amount. There is more (1)diethylene glycol in a traditional cigarette than what was found in the nicotine liquid tested.
The next fact you obviously need to be made aware of is that the amounts of actual TSNAs (carcinogens) that are detectable in nicotine liquid are TRACE amounts. In fact they are the same amounts or less than that found in nicotine PATCHES. Don’t believe me? (2)LOOK IT UP!
The FDA report on e-cigarette liquids has been invalidated numerous times now and has not been retracted and is also over 3 years old and outdated. Ill informed individuals, such as your self that recite old, outdated data without doing any real research for yourself do MORE harm to the general public by attempting to steer cigarette users away from a much more effective harm reduction method than large pharmaceutical companies can provide. When was the last time you read the warning label on a bottle of chantix or wellbutrin? This stuff CAN KILL YOU. HELLO! To date, no e-cigarette user has been hospitalized for e-cigarette vapor inhalation.
Also, to date, hundreds of thousands of former cigarette users have QUIT smoking traditional cigarettes using e-cigarettes. Now do you want to be responsible for their reverting back to traditional cigarette use because of the mis-information you are providing?
Please do your self a favor and do some research on this subject before you throw your letters around attached to e-cigarette hit pieces. E-cigarettes can SAVE Thousands and thousands and thousands of lives. Get behind a movement that can make tobacco cigarettes obsolete in our lifetimes. Imagine that Kelvin, because patches and gums and harmful mind altering drugs aren’t going to do it.

I’ll bet my comment does not get approved. These big brained PHD’s
arguments fall apart when confronted with the truth.
I had to post my comment here so that it could be read by others.
I am happy to report that my comment was indeed

steam’s corner: the vaping community
This is a video of just some of the awesome people that I know
from the vaping community. These people were interviewed by
a relatively new vaper that goes by the name of Hudson in the
Huston Texas area. They were attending a Vape Meet.
If you are a smoker and want to quit but haven’t had any luck
in the past, I would encourage you to watch this video and
consider trying again only this time, try it with a good attitude
and a good e-cig.
I’ve been cigarette free for just over two years now and I am
extremely happy about it. I did it with e-cigs and you can too.

escape pod, sci-fi at it’s best
I just started listening to one of my favorite science fiction
podcasts again. It’s called Escape Pod and it is one of the
best sci-fi podcasts out there. I was there at the beginning
of Steve Eley’s Podcast when it came to life back in 2005 and
used to listen religiously. But then life went this way and that
and next thing I knew, 200 plus episodes passed me by.
There is one consolation however. I have a ton of great Sci-fi
to listen to virtually anytime I want now, thanks to smart phones
and smart cars and I am looking forward to many many hours of
awsome sci-fi for a long time to come… That is, until I catch
up!
One thing does bother me though, I have to admit, I’m not sure
I like not hearing Steve’s voice either hosting the show or
reading the stories. Where did you go Steve? Actually, I am
certain I will find out sooner or later as I progress through
the episodes and locate the changing of the guard.
If you are a Science fiction fan, you will certainly enjoy listening
to Escape Pod. Go ahead, give it a listen.
