The coming era of unlimited — and free — clean energy - The Washington Post

"The experts are saying the same about solar energy now.  They note that after decades of development, solar power hardly supplies 1 percent of the world's energy needs.  They say that solar is inefficient, too expensive to install, and unreliable, and will fail without government subsidies.  They too are wrong.  Solar will be as ubiquitous as cellular phones are.

Futurist Ray Kurzweil notes that solar power has been doubling every two years for the past 30 years — as costs have been dropping. He says solar energy is only six doublings — or less than 14 years — away from meeting 100 percent of today's energy needs. Energy usage will keep increasing, so this is a moving target.  But, by Kurzweil's estimates, inexpensive renewable sources will provide more energy than the world needs in less than 20 years.  Even then, we will be using only one part in 10,000 of the sunlight that falls on the Earth."

Farewell to gluten free: Why we are so easily fooled by pseudoscience and marketing gimmicks when it comes to food | National Post

MSG and enriched flour products now make me sick as an adult. Being gluten free is not a choice. The temptation is to indulge in this gluten stuff, but my health is not good enough. My advice is to stay away from binges but not to tell you how to ditch the obvious health reducer. You will get sick, probably...

"But gluten has lately acquired a famously bad reputation among trend-savvy nutritionistas, who blame it for everything from irritable bowels and autoimmune disorders to bloating and lethargy, even diabetes, depression, autism and schizophrenia. A whole industry has risen up to capitalize on its wholesale rejection, in which gluten-free foods are often sold at a massive mark-up over "regular" products."

Wheat Belly author goes even further in campaign against grains, saying seeds of any grass are no good | National Post

"We know that the gliadin protein of wheat and identical proteins in rye and barley initiates autoimmune diseases. (Dr. Davis says gliadin also binds to opiate receptors in the brain, stimulating appetite.) We know that consumption of wheat makes paranoid schizophrenia worse. We know that the mania of bipolar illness can be triggered by wheat, rye and barley. We know that people who have rheumatoid arthritis do better and have a better chance of remission off wheat. It's not my speculation. It's that there is an astounding amount of research already preformed. But no one has put it all together and started questioning, well, how appropriate is this for the human diet in the first place?"

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
