Gleason, Murray K.

[Props and Pans] ThinkBlocks Stimulate Minds - Win A Set! | Props and Pans: I grew up with toys which made you think and gave you such a sense of accomplishment like “wow, I figured that out all by myself!” That is what I like most about these toys, the fact that they help children feel proud of themselves for solving it.

[Bionic Beautyâ™] Bee Bionic: Love the Honey Bees Giveaway with Bionic Beautyâ™: The grub lawn pesticides cause grubs to stop eating and lose their sense of direction, that is knowing which way is up and closer to grass roots. Thus it seems to explain why bees cannot find their hive and when found within a short distance from the hive, have starved to death.

[Gristmill] Obama's energy and climate advisors | Gristmill: The environmental ...: these policies would neither require a dictator nor an enormous, expensive infrastructure which obliterates millions of acres of our wilderness, forces tens of thousands of people from their homes, and subjects us to another era of Robber Barons in Big Energy who will hijack us again, and bribe our government to keep them firmly entrenched.  all it would require is a little vision, a very modest investment in America and Americans, and a refusal to allow Big Energy to subvert democracy.

A reptile with mammary glands and a four chambered heart or hair etc would be a start.

[ScienceBlogs : Combined Feed] Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Creating a Martyr: The Sternberg ...: But given that we know that none of the actual instances of retaliation that Sternberg alleged in the beginning (the loss of keys, office space and access to the collections) ever took place, and we have strong evidence that Sternberg did improperly go outside the normal peer review process to sneak a substandard and inappropriate article in the journal on his way out the door, this certainly casts serious doubt on Sternberg's veracity. And given that so many of the claims found in the journal's conclusions are not only not supported by the evidence, but flat contradicted by it, that certainly casts serious doubt on the objectivity of the staffers who created the report as well.

[Making Light] Making Light: "Fanfic": force of nature: Using new tools to tell the same story happens in filk all the time (cf Randall Garrett's summaries of The Demolished Man et al, which technique he admitted to borrowing from a mundane) but most of the posts here have spoken of fanfic as having \some/ orginality in the story/setting/characters/..., where South Pacific, The Fantasticks, Promises, Promises, Your Own Thing, The Phantom of the Opera, Spamalot, et multa cetera are more like the bardic liberties that leads to suggestions that Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, et al wrote fanfic. (It could also be argued that this is an economic necessity in Broadway musicals -- anything too unfamiliar will be unable to find a large-enough audience -- but that leaves out Hair.
