"Operating Systems Venn Diagram And Nerds To Go" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

     Here's a good one from www.GeeksAreSexy.net

     It may be somewhat 'dated' (it's from 2009) given the rate at which computer technology is advancing....

     But it's still funny for those of us who don't work directly in the computer industry.

     I just heard that Macs have been hacked recently (as PC's have been for years!).  I guess that's a kind of 'Divine Judgement' for those Mac owners who have mercilessly TEASED us non-Mac users about how SECURE their systems are...or should I say WERE!

     Still, I love 'graphics', as my dear readers know by now, and Macs are good for those...however I think  I'll stick with the good old OS's and platforms I am familiar with.

     But no matter what kind of computer 'stuff' you use, you've GOT to have a great 'computer nerd' on your team,  and I can't think of anyone better than Oleg Epshteyn of NERDS TO GO.

"A Nerd-Dork-Geek-Dweeb Venn Diagram-Which Are You?" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

LINK:  www.greatwhitesnark.com/2010/03/25/difference-between-nerd-dork-and-geek-explained-in-a-venn-diagram/
From Rev. Barb:
Dear Ones:
     A little 'change of pace' today, with the above Venn diagram.  'Great White Snark' came up with a good one here.
     Most likely you can readily classify yourself, but if not, here's a quiz you can take: www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9935030990046738815
     And here are my results if you're 'curious':

The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test

Written by donathos

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test ...

Modern, Cool Nerd

83 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 30% Dork

For The Record:


A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.


Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!


Congratulations! 

Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

Your Analysis (Vertical line = Average)

• 
  You scored 83% on nerdiness, higher than 93% of your peers.
• 
  You scored 52% on geekosity, higher than 77% of your peers.
• 
  You scored 30% on dork points, higher than 47% of your peers.

     Just so you know--no kidding--during my undergrad years we used SLIDE RULES --'nerd rules', as we called them.
     Some of the guys (I went to an 'all male bastion of academic knowledge') wore their slide rules on their belts, which would hang down vertically and 'swing' a bit as they walked.
     Some 'slide rule holders' (like the heavy leather ones) were more 'prestigious' than others, just as the slide rules, themselves, came in everything from cheapo white plastic (mine) to more formidable, wider and more scale-intensive laminated wood ones.
     I guess even in the world of nerdo-academia, size matters as only guys can make it matter.
     Many used pocket protectors, too, but these were pretty much 'standard issue'.
     Me, I'd just lash the thing down on top of my textbook, along with a rubber-banded handful of pen, pencils, compass, and various 'implements' and fasten the pile together with an elastic book band.
Many Blessings To You

"Having Trouble With Cable T.V. & Internet Connections Lately? You're Not Crazy" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry Resident Nerd'

courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

Dear Ones:

     Yes, you may have noticed that 'satellite dependent' transmissions have been disrupted lately.

     Your cable t.v. has been 'going black', then back 'on'.  

     Sometimes you have to 'reboot' it...and/or your computer...completely.

     Your favorite movies and shows become suddenly 'pixelated' in some kind of frenzied mosaic accompanied by sci-fi-sounding fun-house voices.

     VERY ANNOYING!

courtesy http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/pro_3d.html

     Your 'viewing experience' having been totally ruined, you may have even resorted to (egads!) reading BOOKS or doing something around the house or garden!

     Or maybe you've been having trouble 'getting a signal' with your cell phone. 

     Maybe your phone transmission is so poor lately that you've been forced to use (egads, again!) a land line and are even considering getting a HEARING AID!

     These things are enough to think you're going crazy.

     Well, you're not going crazy. probably : )

 courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

     Simply put, proton activity has spiked (see graph above) due to increased solar activity.  In other words, the sun has been throwing off all kinds of energy, which you understand if you've been following my TUTORIALS (click on keyword 'tutorials' below).

 courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

     One of the kinds of energy is a barrage of protons which are responsible for interfering with satellite transmissions, ergo the inconsistent satellite-dependent SERVICES!

     Check out the current chart/list of 'space weather warnings' right now:

 courtesy http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/warnings_timeline.html

     As you can see above, the 'proton problem' is deemed to be a persistent one.
     And as if that weren't bad enough, look at the 'electron flux' status, below:

courtesy http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/elec_3d.html

     And let us 'see' how the earth's magnetic field has been 'jogged' by all this unstable space weather:

      courtesy http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/mag_3d.html
           The really 'crazy' thing about all this, is that there are reputable space scientists who, for whatever reasons, are unwilling or unable to put 'two and two' together for us.

 courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

     They simply WILL NOT ALWAYS ADMIT that there is a direct correlation between the situation on the SUN and our weather and other events here on earth!

     I thank God for those scientists who DO speak to the people, because otherwise you would be forced to rely upon 'armchair astrophysicists' like myself, who study this stuff for fun. 

courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

     I think that if there is a lesson here beyond the message that 'YOU'RE (PROBABLY) NOT CRAZY', it is that anyone can understand these mysteries of deep science.

     All you've got to do is take the time to understand the lingo and you'll be good to go!

Dear Ones:
     It is my belief that if all the world shared the delightful spirit of this video posted by Semjr (Youtube Channel LINK: http://www.youtube.com/user/sejmr )...we'd have nothing but 'world peace' and many good laughs.
     Semjr's  "Lordi jinak" translates to "Lordi otherwise", this parody of Michael Flatley's "Lord of the Dance" 
     Youtube poster 'Semjr' description says 'Pro zasmani...' which in English means "for a laugh" and he's not kidding.  Do check out the multi-lingual comments at the link above and add one of your own if you'd like.  You can use this Czech-to-English Google Translator LINK: http://translate.google.com/#auto   This Translator can translate any number of languages and also has an extremely useful 'detect language' feature on the top left of the list of languages.
     Originally, this video was sent to me by good old 'Uncle Charlie' in email (please pray for him and his broken hip) with the comment: "How the Irish Dance Was Born"
     U.C. sent it with the comment, "Could not resist forwarding this. Happy New Year", knowing full well that my husband is 'Irish'.     There is so much 'good' in life to enjoy and God is so good to provide us with a rich global diversity if only we can learn to appreciate it with love, mirth and good-will.
     And so to Semjr, I say, "Děkuji Vám za zaslání této nádherné video. "Blahoslavení pokojní, neboť oni budou nazváni dětmi Božími."

"A Christmas 'Laugh' For Today" Posted By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

Myspace christmas Comments
From 'e-mail.
We ALL need a little laugh once in a while...
(Thanks Uncle Charlie for sending this along!)
    When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
     Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
     When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
     Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
     Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
     Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
     And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
    
     Not a lot of people know this.

Even in the 'best and worst' of the holiday season, let us all remember to keep our senses of humor and be able to put things into perspective.  This I pray for YOU, dear ones!

'Suzipoo Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Allergen in Lobster Poo' By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

"Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be detestable to you."                      Leviticus 11:12 (NIV)

http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm226918.htm

(Note: this is an actual FDA recall.  No need to ask how I came across it : )

Suzipoo Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Allergen in Lobster Poo

Contact:
Sue Pollard
207-251-0523
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 22, 2010 - Suzipoo Ogunquit, Maine is voluntarily recalling Suzipoo Lobster Poo, 4 oz bags, because it may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.


The product is in a small plastic bag with a red bow on the bag and the label on the front reads. "Lobster Poo" – Slogan – I went to Maine and here's the scoop I came back home with Lobster Poop.


Product was distributed to three retail stores in Maine from August 1-August 18, 2010. Each store has been visited and product labeling has been corrected. Ten- 4 oz. bags may be incorrectly labeled.


No illnesses have been reported to date.


The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product (burnt red peanuts) was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts.


Consumers who have purchased the product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-207-251-0523.

     Alright.  I will admit that the life of anyone working in 'regulatory affairs' in the food and drug industries can be and often is a rather pedantic and even boring one.
     Then, once in a while something like this comes along.   An amusement,perhaps, to the overseer, but NOT much fun for anyone who happens to be allergic to peanuts.
     Apparently, the product is not really 'lobster poo', though neither is it labeled as 'the burnt red peanuts' that it actually is.
     For those whose faith impels them to subscribe to the rules laid out in Leviticus of the Old Testament,  I'm pretty sure that the lobster and any actual lobster poo both fall under the same dietary restriction.
     That would be my pronouncement, anyway.
Blessings,
Reverend Barbara Sexton

Truths For Mature Humans

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. I am adding that you have to clear out the night stand drawer and find and get rid of all power tools!!!

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

18. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

19. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

20. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

21. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!


The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.

That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

"Drugs We Take & In Our Food Which Affect Our Sexuality" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

courtesy http://www.jellymuffin.com/

Dear Readers:
     You might be asking, "What in Heaven's Name is Rev. Barb talking about here and what do DRUGS and FOOD have to do with SEXUALITY?  And what does SEXUALITY have to do with RELIGION?"
     Well, I'll tell you.  The answer is, "Everything!"
     Just recently on Beliefnet, I wrote a comment referring to the subject at hand.  I want to post it here, along with one of many  'Warning Letter' from the FDA about antibiotics they've found in food.
     In the body, antibiotics tend to act as much as 'hormones' as they do as antibiotics.  When a pregnant or nursing woman is exposed to antibiotics and other drugs, environmental chemicals and 'lifestyle substances like recreational drugs and alcohol', the ENDOCRINE and NERVOUS systems of her child are affected. 
      Every ORGAN and TISSUE in the fetus or baby's body is affected, in fact, and, so--the fetus or baby's 'SEXUALITY' is  ALSO being affected.
     What a child or adult EATS and DRINKS also has a similar effect.  If you've any doubt about the effects of food, drugs or chemicals on the sexuality of the human body, consider the male chronic alcoholic.
     When a male drinks for an extended number of years at a level which his body cannot effectively and efficiently 'clear' (meaning that his LIVER gets overloaded), he will progressively become 'feminized'.
     You see, men and women BOTH make male and female hormones.  Men make androgens PLUS estrogens.  Ordinarily, the male liver 'clears' excess hormones, especially the female hormones of which only so much is needed in the male.  In the chronic alcoholic male, the liver is damaged and overloaded and unable to 'process' the female hormones--which he himself makes--out of his system.
     The result?  Primarily it's a shrinking of the testicles, a growth of breast tissue, loss of face and body hair and a lowering or loss of libido.  This sad state powerfully illustrates the strong influence hormones have on our vitality and health. 
     Just so you know, a similar mechanism exists for chronic marijuana smokers and is why you see certain men develop enlarged breasts to the point that surgical reduction is sought in some cases!
     So here is my Beliefnet piece, followed by exactly the kind of FDA action that occurs all too often:

"Rev. Barb -- isn't that a bit like saying there are no gay Catholics, evangelical Christians, Orthodox Jews, etc.?" Nicole Neroulias said.
You are ONE SMART COOKIE, Nicole. Of COURSE there are gays of ALL religions and among atheists and agnostics, too. I was being FACETIOUS and reminding all that the edicts against 'homosexuality' in Islam and the Quran are MANY and HARSH.
As a biochemist who has studied the SCIENCE of 'homosexuality', I know that the BIGGEST sex organ we have is our BRAIN. And I know that the brains of fetuses are either 'masculinized or feminized' before birth...and then again after birth at puberty. Of course, our sex organs are exposed to these same hormones, as well.
We must also take environmental influences (i.e. antibiotics which act as 'ESTROGENS', both those from our health care providers as well those in the meats some of us eat, for example)into consideration.
I am comfortable saying that people are born with 'one sexual inclination or another or sometimes--both or something in-between'. What we DO with our amazing brains and sexuality is what matters in the eyes of God. Speaking of eyes, the variations of human sexuality are as diverse as all the eye colors humans ever displayed.
Our Creator made us the way we are so that we can have an opportunity to 'have at it' with our 'free will'.
Islam beats the band when it comes to condemning homosexuality in a way I simply cannot abide by. (Conversely, I've no stomach for 'ACT UP IN YOUR FACE' GAY POLITICS.)
Especially distressing to me is seeing lesbian Christian women uplifting and upholding Sharia Law Islam which dictates what a woman may wear, do, believe and think. To my way of thinking, this is a 'human rights' violation of the tenth degree and I do not understand it.
God help me if I can't stand up for my gay family members and other LGBT love ones.
With Love in Christ,
Rev. Barb

WARNING LETTER
CIN-10-127191-22
Mr. Roy L. Raber, Owner
Raber View Holstein
7029 County Road 201
Millersburg, Ohio 44654
Dear Mr. Raber:
On August 3 and 9, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an investigation of your dairy operation located at 7029 County Road 201, Millersburg, Ohio. This letter notifies you of the violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that we found during our investigation of your operation. You can find the Act and its associated regulations on the Internet through links on FDA's web page at www.fda.gov.
We found that you offered for sale an animal for slaughter as food that was adulterated. Under section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it bears or contains a new animal drug that is unsafe under section 512 of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 360b. Further, under section 402(a)(4) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it has been held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.
Specifically, our investigation revealed that on or about January 7, 2010, you sold a bob veal calf, identified with the auction's backtag #(b)(4), for slaughter as food. On or about January 8, 2010,
(b)(4), slaughtered this animal. United States Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS) analysis of tissue samples collected from this animal identified the presence of 0.829 parts per million (ppm) of sulfamethoxazole in the muscle and 0.484 ppm of sulfamethoxazole in the liver. FDA has not established a tolerance for residues of sulfamethoxazole in the edible tissues of cattle. The presence of this drug in edible tissue from this animal in these amounts causes the food to be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii).
Our investigation also found that you hold animals under conditions that are so inadequate that medicated animals bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food supply. For
example, you failed to maintain treatment records for the animals you produce. Food from animals held under such conditions is adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4).
We also found that you adulterated the new animal drug sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (800 mg/160 mg per tablet). Specifically, our investigation revealed that you did not use sulfamethoxazole
and trimethoprim as directed by its approved labeling. Use of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in this manner is an extralabel use. Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.), Section 530.3(a) (21 C.F.R.530.3(a)).
The extralabel use of approved animal or human drugs in animals is allowed under the Act only if the extralabel use complies with sections 512(a)(4) and (5) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360b(a)(4) and (5), and 21 C.F.R. Part 530, including that the use must be by or on the lawful order of a licensed veterinarian within the context of a valid veterinarian/client/patient relationship.
Our investigation found that you administered the human drug sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim tablets to a bull calf without following the withdrawal period as stated in the approved labeling or any written directions by a licensed veterinarian. Your extralabel use of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim tablets was not under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian, in violation of 21 C.F.R. 530.11(a); and your extralabel use of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim tablets resulted in an illegal drug residue, in violation of 21 C.F.R. 530.11(c).

PLEASE TAKE CARE with the health of your family and loved ones.  I recommend purchasing only 'organically raised, free-range' meat.  Those who treat foodstock animals kindly and with minimal use of drugs, etc also happen to produce the safest meat available to consumers.  Mass meat production is cruel, unhealthy and unconscionable.  Just look at the burgeoning Salmonella problem in the poultry industry today.
For you in Christ,

'Cowboys' Ten Commandments' Posted By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

   Dear Ones:  
     Given all the anti-Judeo-Christian, anti-USA targeting we've been exposed to...I thought it would be a good idea to concentrate on some good old 'AMERICANA'. 
     We are strong people and excellent at overcoming that which others intend to use for harm.
     Enjoy this 'little take' (thanks 'CHAS' once again ) on part of our great heritage.
With Love in Christ,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
