Poison oak which is just about the same as poison ivy (AFAIK) can be relieved but this methods is radical. I don't catch either myself but kids did. This is what we finally discovered, but it is a rather severe method, so use at your own risk!

Strip to underclothes, sit on a sheet, and get some salt, a little coarse is good. Rub the affected areas with the salt. It relieves itching (in a way) and breaks open the rash. Stings, too. Speeds up the healing process very fast. But, as you can see, it is when everything else including patience, fails.

My kids said it helped a lot. We tried everything else, and nothing worked.

Twin Cities... home to the 19th hijacker...

What was his mission supposed to be? And don't they have a habit of returning to sites of failed missions?

Most believe it was either the Capitol Building or the White House.

It looks like they were trying to take out our economy, military and government in one swelled foop.

Yet Another Vehicle Struck by Projectile

CHICOPEE, MASSACHUSETTS (WWLP) - More local vehicles have been struck and damaged by objects on local highways. The crisis that began Monday night on I-91 in Longmeadow is now widening to other cities, and another highway. The latest attack involves a truck hit on I-391 near exit 4 in Chicopee. It was struck at noon today. A car was hit on the same stretch of highway, just last night. In the case of the truck, the windows were not destroyed. That is in stark contrast to last night's target. In that case, 2 professionals were heading southbound on 391 when their Honda accord was struck, shooting glass into the car. Fortunately no people have been struck or hurt. Police spent the day looking for clues on and near I-391. A massive search is underway on the ground. Police have targeted woods and brush along the highway, looking for clues and suspects. Another part of the search is from the air. A state police helicopter and its 2-man crew have been hovering over the area all day. Troopers Matthew Dominarski and Jeffrey McDonald are serving double duty on this case, as state troopers for 16 years, and pilots of a police helicopter that's been on patrol since Sunday. The pellet or BB shootings, if that's what they turn out to be, haven't been lethal but the case is being taken seriously because it could have serious consequences.

You read/speak Arabic?

Getting there. I just started learning last fall. I have taken 2 semesters and I just completed an intensive session in may (equivalent to another semester). We have an excellent teacher from Lebanon, I am really surprised how much I have learned in such a short period of time.

I still have a fair amount of trouble because I only know about 1,500 words by heart. I am pretty far into the grammar so If I have a dictionary (just got a good one) I can plod along... Hopefully I will be better able to serve in a few months.

Got another year of Arabic at my current school, then I am planning on taking a 9 week immersion program in Vermont. I should be set by this time next year. ;-)

My remedy Take a bunch of Impatiens get rid of the flowers leaving the stems and leaves and then bring them to a boil for about 4 minutes. It should turn a light greenish color, let it cool a bit and put the liquid and the remaining leaves on the poison ivy. It should be warm but not too hot to burn. Keep the remainder in the fridge for later usages and just heat to warm when needed. It works for me like a charm.

I've heard of many home remedies. This one is new to me. Thanks for sharing.

Did we ever determine what planet was beside Osama in that pic of Osama and the suitcase nuke?

Was that Venus?


I thought it was the moon? That image came out around the time of the lunar eclipse in the Fall (during Ramadan), I remember everyone thought that was "the sign" back then. It was thought to be significant due to the 2 eclipses during that month (one solar, one lunar) and the prophesy of the coming Mahdi.

...the size of a small car...!!!! Nice find. I just wonder that if the do find that it is a meteorite, will there be additional stories to confirm the finding...or will this be another of those stories that we never hear about again. Once I have time later today I will be checking some of the NASA web sites for listings of current meteor activity. They have some sites where they list the date and time of different known objects that are in our current orbit.

Nuclear Terrorism Within America a Certainty posted by editor - 3 June, 2004

A nuclear attack by terrorists against the United States is inevitable, according to an American international relations expert visiting the University of Canterbury.

Professor Terry Nardin, a political scientist from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, is using his six-week visit as a Canterbury Fellow to teach theories of international relations.

He will also give two public lectures. The first, this Thursday evening, will look at the influence of religion on international affairs. The second, next Thursday, will consider the cultural impact of the September 11 terror attacks. Last week the US Attorney General, John Ashcroft, said credible intelligence from multiple sources indicated that the al Qaeda terror network was planning an attack on the US in the next few months.

Professor Nardin believes that despite the intelligence sources of the US authorities, terrorist organisations such as al Qaeda are still capable of planning and carrying out attacks.

“I see a kind of offence-defence race. We’re busy defending ourselves in ways that we’ve thought of and Al Qaeda people, who are smart, are busy thinking of ways to get around it.

“There are so many weapons floating around, there’s so little control over nuclear material, biological weapons and so forth, I think it’s only a matter of time before there is some catastrophic event.

“It’s not difficult to transport nuclear materials or biological materials around. There may be a gesture of inspecting aircraft luggage and so on but the whole world container trade goes on so people move around and things move around. “

Thanks, Livius!

Spain Alerts Italy and the UK about Imminent AQ Attacks

La Razón ^ | 6/03/2004 | J. M. Zuloaga

Posted on 06/03/2004 7:48:29 AM PDT by livius

Two Islamist cells with logistical support have been found in [Spain].

Police in Spain, Italy and the UK have been working around the clock to localize several cells of Ansar al Islam, some of whose members have already been identified, who intend to commit attacks against British and Italian targets during President Bush’s trip to Europe, antiterrorist sources have informed La Razón. These groups are composed primarily of Algerian fundamentalists, although there are also some Moroccans, and they were trained in the camps of Afghanistan.

The alarm sounded in Europe upon the receipt of completely reliable information that several cells of Ansar al Islam, the terrorist group in the Al Qaeda network led by the Jordanian terrorist Mohammed al Zarkawi, is planning to commit large-scale attacks in Italy and the UK. The “commandos” have operational and logistical support in Spain, where they may have obtained money and some of the false documentation they use. In theory, according to the sources, it is not believed that they are going to carry out attacks in Spain, although any scenario is possible, given the dangerous nature of the Islamists.

Current investigations are directed at localizing, as soon as possible, a group of Algerian extremists who are already in the UK and Italy to attempt to carry out attacks in the next few days, coinciding with the European tour that the leader of the US begins in Italy tomorrow. The police of these countries, with the close cooperation of the Spanish police, have managed to identify some of the terrorists, some of whom may be Moroccan.

These are experienced terrorists who, according to the sources, received their training in the Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, where they learned techniques for the manufacture and placement of explosives and highly destructive weapons.

In May, Judge Baltsar Garzón of the Audiencia Nacional sent three Algerians and one Spaniard to prison for their alleged connection with a terrorist group related to Al Qaeda, and he asked the UK to hand over the alleged head of the group, Heidi Ben Youssef Boudhiba, alias “Fathi,” who is being held in [England] and who has been connected with the cell that attempted to carry out a ricin attack in London.

Hey Have been missing your post and pictures. I wanted to know what the comet is doing.

I haven't seen much new on the comets, but there are increasing signs of a group of large meteors. A lot of large impacting meteors lately, as well as strangely intense annual meteor showers.

Another one last night:

Possible Meteorite Reported in Wash.

Not much until the Transit of Venus, then the June 26 encounter with asteroid Itakowa. Somewhere in there we have an encounter with comet LINEAR's tail, though I don't remember and can't find the date at the moment.

I get most of the info from TB2000, they have several threads running on the celestial happenings this summer.

Timebomb2000

And of course the standard spaceweather sites, most of which can be reached through links here:

It's also known as Jewelweed. Some say it can act as a preventitive, and that by rubbing it on you before you do the yard work, walk in the woods etc... it will prevent the rash from occuring, but I never seem to remember to do that, so I can't comment on that.

I found it in an old cookbook from my great grandmother when I was around 12. Used it ever since with success. It had lots of other home remedies and simple advice on how to dust (I learned that you should start dusting at the top of things) and be ladylike in the day (comical for todays standards). But her notes and recipes is really neat to have seen.
