Snail - The Adventure Time Wiki. Mathematical! The Snail is a character that has hidden in every episode of Adventure Time to date (excluding the Animated Short), usually seen waving at the screen. His cameos are a running gag. He’s also hiding in all the comics. One of my favorite little easter eggs out there. Definitely our household’s contemporary Goldbug.

The inlaid image is a controller board which [Limpkin] developed to add whistle control as a home automation option. It has an effective range of around fifteen feet and does a good job of detecting whistles from many different people.

Chicago will shut down part of its "L" elevated rail system's busiest line for five months starting on Sunday, forcing thousands of commuters to seek other routes and creating the biggest such U.S. transit disruption in two decades.

I recently took part in a “civil discourse,” an unusual occurrence in this era of media pundit-orchestrated shouting matches. Unlike a debate with winners and losers, a civil discourse begins with the premise that, when there are different points of view on a topic, it is better to understand those with whom we disagree than to turn off the sound. By listening and asking probing questions, we come to understand how such a smart person could possibly disagree with us. Continue reading ... Your patients are rating you online: How to respond.

The panda gangbang took place deep in the basement of the Kink armory, where rivulets of the long-suffocated Mission Creek still trace a path between moisture-eaten columns, and the air hangs heavy with a stony dampness.

Widespread fraud has been discovered in the case of an Indian generic drug manufacturer that makes generic Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) and many other drugs. Ranbaxy has "pleaded guilty to seven federal criminal counts of selling adulterated drugs with intent to defraud." Many people rely on generic drugs to be able to afford drug therapy. The basic principle of generics is based on bioequivalence, but do all generics provide comparable levels of bioavailability to their brand-name counterparts? Besides Ranbaxy and Lipitor, other widely used generics from different companies have been affected lately: generic Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate), an atypical antipsychotic, generic Wellbutrin (buproprion), an atypical antidepressant, and birth control pills. Here is an FDA listing of currently authorized generic drugs.

The big, desert city of El Paso, on the US border with Mexico, for years felt like a lesson from the work of Giorgio Agamben. In his book Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, Agamben analyzes a law from the Roman Empire specifying that if a man committed certain crimes, all of his citizenship rights would be revoked. This punishment, oddly enough, rendered the criminal a homo sacer, a sacred man, whom it was forbidden to ritually sacrifice to the gods. Yet in the everyday world the sacred man could be killed by anyone, with no penalty at all invoked on the killer. He inspired the highest veneration and the basest contempt. He constituted yet another category from Agamben’s work: bare life, or human existence stripped of its social nature and reduced to the purely biological. Bare life defines brutes. Homo sacer, brutes fetishized. more from Debbie Nathan at n+1 here.
