Responsible Train Engineer Derails Killing At Least 4 And Injuring Dozens



Quote:








A suburban New York train derailed on Sunday, killing at least four people and injuring 63, including 11 critically, officials said.





All seven cars of the Metro-North train derailed off a large curved section of track at 7:20 a.m. in New York about 100 yards (meters) north of Metro North's Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx borough, said Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for Metro North, a subsidiary of New York State's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).



A spokesman for the city fire department confirmed the number of dead and said 11 people were in critical condition, six were in serious condition with non-life threatening injuries and another 46 sustained minor injuries.

Can baking soda cure cancer?

I stumbled on this by accident when researching if can cancer cure itself. Google provided a lengthy post by Bamboo Delight in support of this theory, and gave explicit reasons for their claim. At the same time, cancer.org(the American Cancer Society) disputes such claims. Yet claims bicarb has been used in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments and for other cures or life saving techniques.

Come to think of it, when watching that old tv show from the 60`s called Emergency One, when at the hospital in the emergency room a star attending physician would call for so many cc`s of bicarb.

So the use of bicarb is nothing new. But in actually preventing cancer or shrinking tumors, it might be more recent.

Down the first google page from the ACS`s rebuttal, there is a study going on at the University of Arizona that seems to show promise with bicarb. Hmmmm.

The skeptic side of me wonders though that if everything the Bamboo Delight says is true, and greed propels Big Pharma and its cohorts to use only conventional medicine and the various practiced techniques as a money making sham....then why isnt there at least one cancer treatment center that gets all the cancer patients, because they are curing every one with bicarb and other holistic approaches?...and can substantiate this. I advise everyone though to study the articles as i have a feeling there are truths on both sides, and you might learn some beneficial things regarding lifestyle changes perhaps that who knows...might save you or a loved one, even if just preventing it in the first place. In closing, the reasons that the ACS gave as to why bicarb dont work was based on a different reason due to yeast infection and ?, that i dont recall given as the reason why it supposedly works in the Bamboo Delight article.

But, as i said...if this so readily works, where is the evidence? If you read that Bamboo article, do not skim. Grasp everything it says, because like i said, there might be at least some truths in this, perhaps.

It`s so intriguing though, i want to contact some researchers on this.

For those interested in the security vs. privacy equation...

...Dan Carlin had an interview with William Binney on his latest Common Sense episode.



A must listen, IMHO.

BTW, its well worth subscribing to his podcast, via iTunes or the podcast app of your choice.



His Hardcore History podcasts can be pretty interesting and informative as well, but can also be kind of hard to take - much of the history he reflects upon can be pretty violent and depressing.

Saint Andrew's Cross. Evidence?

Yesterday being St.Andrew's Day got me wondering about the origins of the story that Andrew was crucified on a saltire cross.

This is often described as a "belief".

Is there any historical evidence for this?

Is there any actual info about Andrew, or what became of him?



The Scots Saltire flag is supposed to have originated with a sighting of a white saltire shaped cloud on a clear blue sky before a 9th century battle with the dreadful sassunachs, whose livestock the Scots had just appropriated.

As neither Scotland nor England existed at the time, the story is open to interpretation.

I just wondered why 9th century Brits would think St. A was executed on such a cross. Where did they get the idea? (If they did).
